Some examples. For our entire marriage he never could hold down a job...he'd get one, usually a good one and then just when you'd think that things were finally going to be OK and you could get ahead (or caught up) financially, he'd get hurt in some way...he'd break his arm by falling off his truck, or roll his semi, or have something have a heart attack in another country. Or a business partner would rip him off, resulting in the closure of our company, or we'd have employees steal from us, or a huge business deal that was "just about to go through" would suddenly fail after months or years of working on it. There were so many things and whatever it was was "never his fault"

Anyway, since we've been split up (5 years) he's constantly either hurting himself or been laid off (all reasons, according to him, as to why he just Can't pay child support) he's torn something in his stomache while surfing in Hawaii...I don't really know what it was because we weren't together anymore but some sort of freak accident which according to him "never happens" to anybody. He's also been in the hospital multiple times for various injuries. Then just yesterday he was working at a construction site and he said he "ripped his stomache wall" something like a hernia but not quite, according to him, and again, so rare that it never happens to most people.

So, my question is this...does he have something in his charts that says that he will constantly be injured, or have bad luck?

If your hobby is knitting as opposed to surfing, you are giving the universe less chance to spring an injury upon your person. That could be one part of the puzzle. A job in construction is physical and if placed in a situation of cut health and safety corners we are also helping things along.

Astrologically I see that on his date of birth Mars is in Pisces. In past LL threads the discussions of people with this placement have included comments on fluctuating and challenged energy. On his d.o.b it is opposite Pluto in Virgo, and conjunct the Sun also in Pisces (slightly wide for a Sun Opp Pluto). If you are looking for somewhere on his chart that shows challenged energy and the potential for a string of phsyical ailments and injuries, that opposition could be it. It would be interesting to see what houses the opposition falls into.

I just looked this up in an Ephemeris, I didn't draw a chart, so it really is the first thing that leapt out.

I have always thought of myself as a very lucky person in many areas, but reading the book made me think he was really right...in the areas of life where I am "lucky", I have a constructive attitude. In the areas of life I am "unlucky", I have a whiny, insecure, fragile, sad, bad attitude.

It sounds like maybe he's a person who doesn't follow his intuition, and who doesn't consciously try to take charge of his life. And while that probably shows up in his chart and transits (you would need an exact birth time to read for that very meaningfully), I believe you can work with ANY chart in a "lucky" or "unlucky" way. Some of the world's luckiest people are those who have consciously approached the challenges of their chart in a novel way--I keep thinking of Gandhi--if some desperate groupie-chick posted his chart on Lindaland asking "Is he my Soul Mate?" I would answer that he looks like a promiscuous womanizer...but instead, he chose in his life to use all of his charisma to effect mass social change.

usually catastrophes are a wake-up call that you may be heading in the wrong direction! i think his "bad luck" is about ignoring signs and driving into brick walls...

Pire, Very true. I think that sometimes, even when we're going through our darkest times, that if we really look at what's happening, we can pull good from it...or if nothing else a very valuable life lesson that will help us in the future.

Lucia, I know what you're saying...and I believe that too, that we can consiously attract good things to our lives. I believe that we all have energy and that the energy we give off is synonymous with the energy we receive...If you liked that book then I think you will really enjoy reading "The Secret" and/or "The Law of Attraction"

amowls, but, like I said, it's definately not just that he's daredevilish. It's "always" with him...no matter what he's doing.

katonic...HA, yes! Sometimes I wonder if he doesn't "wish" these bad things upon himself at will so that he Won't have to work or Won't be able to pay child support!~ It's like he'll do whatever it takes to NOT have responsibility in life, even if it's to his own detriment.

I had an ex-boyfriend with that same birthday and same year except he was born in Connecticut. I also don't know what time he was born. He was not unlucky like your ex. But I do have an interesting story about him that is similar. He was one of the most beautiful men that I'd ever seen. He was a large body builder with long hair and he was a talented heavy metal guitarist. He could have been a model and let just say he was a GREAT LOVER!

But when we finally got together, he kept saying, "I hate falling in love, I always get hurt." I had never heard anyone say something like that before, and it was strange to me. Well, I couldn't believe that I did it, but I did end up breaking up with him because he would sometimes sink into what I think was a depression and he wouldn't want to go out and have fun and he wouldn't communicate with me and I would end up sitting in the dark with him doing nothing. I finally got tired of it and I broke up with him.

I hardly believed I was going to do it because he was the most beautiful man I had ever seen, the whole cliche body builder boyfriend, all of that. Oh I forgot, sometimes he was as dumb as a box of nails. That's right, I forgot.

My ex was definately not model-like, although he wasn't bad looking. And oddly enough for how good he was/is at NOT making money, I swear he's on the verge of brilliant. Right now for example, he's working on lossless compression and one of his business partners is from the Pentagon. He's by no means dumb...and yet..he can NOT make money...or at least not any sort of job/business venture that makes money for anything other than short-term. When we were married I used to tell him that he was the smartest unemployed person I'd ever met.

Your ex has a conjunction of sun and mars, which indicates either a warring nature or an impulsive rash nature, and this conjunction is opposed by Pluto, indicating powerful life events or adversaries counterracting his plans. When you inject Chiron into this equation (as part of the conjunction) you can see that there is some kind of wound that never gets to heal. It is a lifelong battle.

And if you're talking Magi Astrology, which I don't usually, but it makes me want to take a deeper look into it, I have what they term A {{{{{Golden Flying Eagle}}}}}

The only other person they use as an example of it is Aaron Spelling. Google "Magi astrology Golden Flying Eagle" and something should come up.

I noticed that Michael Jackson had a Flying Eagle, but it's not golden.

luck is something that is a constant theme in my life, good or bad. i'm either super lucky or super UNlucky, but as someone put it, the fact that i always survive with only a scratch is a factor that i am lucky.

btw, IQ, I also have Fortuna square Saturn. Maybe that's why.

I just have had a lot of really bizarre things happen to me in my life! out of nowhere! I'm only 19... I've already moved 19 times, back and forth between 3 countries and 3 continents 8 times... been to 17 schools and 5 high schools... and neither of those relocations have been MY choice... my life has been a soap opera since literally the day I was born... LONG story... trouble just ALWAYS seems to find me... I constantly have a new and bizarre ailment that the doctors are stumped by... and people never understand... it's almost like they don't believe me... "so you had what, now, happen to you?? How is it that something is always happening to you?" I always say I have no idea, but, well trying to be positive, at least it makes things interesting!

To get different results in life, you have to try different things. Health drastically improves by over-dosing on organic vitamin C especially through tibetan Goji berries.
I mean serious over dosing, 10 grams a day of Vitamin C, anything less wont show dramatic effects. The enlightened soul will take organic Vitamin E capsules and Riboflavinoids from Red Wine or Grape Seed extract or even Pine Bark Extract along with the vitamin C to get a 500% increase in antioxidant activity.

80% Alkaline Diet and yogic breathing will eradicate any viral or bacterial remnants causing ill health. Just holding your breath for 1-2 minutes about 5-6 times can destroy the flu virus [provided some excess Vitamin C also is ingested].

Avoiding GM food, aspartame and fluoride laced water helps too.

Last bt not the least, correct chakra colour visualization to balance the 7 chakras helps maintain your good health.
