Will the Redemption of Stanley Tookie Williams be Enough?
Will Governor Schwarzenegger grant him clemency before Dec. 13, 2005 execution date?
Tookie is a man who has undergone a major transformation from founder of the Crips street gang to writing children's books and being nominated numerous times for the Nobel Peace Prize. Here is a man who at one time started a notorious criminal organization (has Saturn/Mars in Scorpio) then years later dedicated his life to keeping young people out of gangs.
A Picture of Tookie the Body Builder Before Redemption
If we go back to Stanley's birth on December 29th 1953 in New Orleans we see the reflection of a serious, leader and organizer with Capricorn as his Sun sign. Both Venus and Chiron are also found in Capricorn so we look toward the ruler of his will power, values and personal wound that can heal others if recognized. His ruling planet, Saturn at birth was found in Scorpio known for deep, deep transformation. His active, instictual part indicating driving energy: Mars is also in Scorpio - an intense, driving and obsessive position - this alone tells us of the potential for getting rid of anything that stands in the way. A hard knock life is an understatement when describing Tookie's destiny. In fact to this day he claims that he was innocent with "not a shred of tangible evidence, no fingerprints, no crime scenes of bloody boot prints. They didn't match my boots, nor eyewitnesses."
Tookie's genetically predisposed strategic leanings and sense of justice are all about details (Pallas/Astrae in Virgo).
His childhood was scarred Neptune/Libra Chiron/Capricorn and Uranus/Cancer TSQ involving his family, mother and childhood upbringing. Yet here a man that has been behind bars since 1980 and spent 6 1/2 years in solitary confinement in the late 1980s who shed his skin so to speak. In fact since the early 90's be began to gain world-wide attention and praise for his work in prison. His publication of children's books advocating non-violence and alternatives to gangs earned kudos and his autobiography become a Hollywood movie , starring Jamie Foxx (Redemption: The Stan Tookie Williams Story).
What could create such drastic inner motivation to change?

Redemption
By 1993, Tookie had undergone a phenomenal transfiguration and in his words a "Redemption" quote: "my interpretation of redemption, it differs from the theological or the academical rendition. I believe that my redemption symbolizes the end of a bad beginning and a new start." - Pluto, Jupiter and Venus had cojoined his Saturn/Mars powerhouse in Scorpio. Most dramatic from a spiritual point of view was the incredible combo of genius and spirituality (Neptune/Uranus) this was the energy that birthed the internet and helped create technology empires and yes helped many awake to concepts of Ascension and enlightenment on a global level.
Tookie goes on to describe his change of conciousness: "It goes beyond, in a sense of being liberated from one's sins or atonement in itself. I feel that my redemption mostly or primarily encompasses the ability to reach out to others"
1993 was a time when the world's death/rebirth cycle had passing over his Sun (will)/Chiron(the wound that heals) and his sense of destiny(N. Node) and direction had changed. It was as if the framework,the bones and the entire spiritual anatomy of Tookie had an incredible metamorphisis an awakening - his inner world was unalterablly change. Again quoting from Tookie talking about a spirit act: "a spirit act, a spirit act towards helping other people, which are primarily youths in my case. "
Now the older wiser Tookie who had met Schwarzenegger the body builder on Venice Beach. Rumors say that Tookie was supposed to be in Conan The Magnificient (first Arnold flick) but his murder rap stifled that dream.
Looking ahead to Arnie's meeting with Tookie's counsel on December 8th 2005, we should remember that Arnie plays to the crowds and after this last "special election" defeat. Except the tide has changed for this action hero, the crowds are ready to heave a sour mash of rotten eggplants and tomatoes watching him fall from the stage.
I put Arnie's Natal Chart in the middle of a bi-wheel with Tookie's Noon Birth Chart on the outer wheel.

With the enthusiastic Fire New Moon on December 1st, we will all see that Arnie will do anything to raise his ratings - he could not bear to suffer an ignominous loss next year. Offering clemecy - mercy - for Stanley Tookie Williams seems like a great answer for the Governator. Didn't the Arnold just hire Susan Kennedy?, a top aide to former Gov. Gray Davis (the guy that got recalled), as his new chief of staff. Conan is talking about mending bridges and what better way then seem compassionate to a group of constituents that is ready to put the Terminaor in a pot of hot molten lead. I expect that we will get a surpirse announcement with the planet of many upsets, unexpected and sudden events (Uranus @ 21Cancer) right on Arnie's Ascendant. Adding to he emotional media frenzy is Tookie's South Node (past gifts) mingling with Arnie's Venus @ 26 Cancer. California's grandstanding governor will respond to a heavy sense of service and duty to his positon with the power of Mercury/Sag.(quick thinking), Venus/Sun in Capricorn ( serious purpose and values) over Arnie's subconcious (Moon/Caprircorn).
Now that the California Supreme Court turned down an appeal by inmate Stanley Tookie Williams, who wanted a new look at the evidence - everything falls on in the hands and shoulders of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger - the power of life or death something Arnie loves with Saturn/Pluto conjunct in Leo a royal combination of power and authority.
Looking ahead to the meeting date on December 8th - notice that the media has gotten hold of this story blowing it up daily and just won't let go. Stepping into December 8th we move Tookie's planets by progression. Notice how sudden communications are coming from everywhere about Tookie or from him almost daily (his Mercury now at 6 Pisces is still in close to orb to electrifying Uranus (modern ruler of his progressed Sun/Venus - just gone direct) All those new ideas about the nature of confinement and rehabilitation are dressed up with many places to go. Communities are rallying around the world to Save Tookie (His Sun/Venus are secondarily progressed to 19 and 22 Aquarius ) Aquarius is the sign of community ruled by serious, intense Saturn @ 9 Scorpio sitting TSQ to Saturn@11 Leo and Mars stationing at 8Taurus - the fuse is lit the movie has been cast a long time ago.
Even without all the publicity, Tookie and his supporters still feel like they have been thru a guantlet (with Mars stationing direct 12-9-05 opposite his natal Saturn/Mars). The head of Mt. Olympus is moving the wheel of fortune - cutting the deck mixing the promise of death with redemption (Jupiter at 9Scorpio)is offering Mercy - Chesed from the Tree of Life represented by the Angel Tzadkiel with the virtue obedience.
Roll the cameras for his best side, as an ambitious Governor who is craving accolades (the need for glory and praise to the 1,000th power with Jupiter in the 5th) will decide. Then he will publicly announce to the world that he has spared Tookie!
