I respect Mark a lot for his efforts but IMHO, he is not correct in giving importance to Samadhi sextile "Don Quixote".
First of all, Samadhi is part of the Vedic Theme. If Westerfield had Samadhi sextile Siva [within 2 degree orb for sextile to be effective] in a house other than 6, 8 or 12th and then committed abuse, we would have to think why.Second, before looking at Asteroids, we HAVE TO ASSESS the whole chart for the factors mentioned by imeanj. Myra and Mengele have horrific charts already. To look at Samadhi for one who has no clue about Karma, Dharma, Gyana is like blaming Argentina for failing to produce a cricketing legend as great as Don Bradman. Duh. Argentina produces Maradonas, America produces NBA Superstars Australia produces cricket legends and India produces corrupt politicians. Horses for Courses.
It is pointless to analyze Isis conjunct Osiris conjunct Horus for Mr Lee "Microprocessor expert" Wu from Shenzen or Shanghai in China. Unless Mr Lee sells his business to attend an archaeology seminar with Zahi Hawass in Cairo. In that case, it would be madness to not consider his Isis conj Osiris conj Horus
For dark siders [we asess this "probability" from the basic chart], we look at Dark Asteroids. It is good to see their good asteroids too, lets say a dozen of them all make good aspects with planets, then perhaps their dark side will diminish.
Chakras matter here too. If a person does not live beyond 3rd Chakra, he can have all the great Asteroid Aspects possible, he will still be a scoundrel. Example of such a case is Ted Bundy.
Example of a Good man: Swami Vivekananda has Sun sextile Samadhi. Anything dark about Swamiji? His only sin was that he died too young.
He has Saturn in 9th [blessed] trine Pluto. This makes him very positive, because Saturn is Chart Ruler. Thus, Dark Side Asteroids have virtually zero impact. He has Nessus square Lust exact but he never even thought of getting to first base in his entire life [one of the most well documented and witnessed life].
If someone has Chart Ruler in 8th square retrograde Saturn, and there is a stellium in 12th with retorgrade Mars, then the tilt is towards dark. In such a chart, if there be Nessus square Lust or Dejanira, the ladies should carry some pepper spray.
