Peter Duesberg's Astrology chart, AZT Rising?

This is Peter Duesberg Astrology Birth Chart. Is he is a Bad MutherFrucker?

The Birth Data read as ; Peter Duesberg, Born Aug 4, 1942, 11:50 pm , Budapest, Hungary.

I discovered it while looking for information,(non-Astrological) about Mr. Duesberg, it from a interesting foreign website that does charts about Celebrities. I don't think I could find Duesberg's chart on a American website, like "Astrodatabank".

Given Peter Duesberg's caliber as a controversial scientist, a Professor of Molecular and Cell Biology at University of California, currently doing Cancer research, and dissenting opinion on whether HIV/ AIDS. This chart doesn't seem that remarkable to me, but I'm not a "professional Astrologer". Yet a professional might be able to point out remarkable things about this chart. Astrology has been an interest of mine for most of my life, and I was able to find something interesting about this chart.

One of the things that sticks out about this chart is that most of Peter's planets lie on the Bottom Eastern Quadrant of the chart but form a "Grand Trine". A Grand Trine" is that triangle formation made by the intersecting blue lines in this Chart. The Apex of the triangle is a hypothetical point, (not a real planet) called the "M/C", this represents the Zenith or the highest point in the sky at the time of Peter's Birth.

Since its a hypothetical point if you exclude it...then there's no grand Trine. Without the Grand Trine then you have a beehive of activity in the bottom, left side of this chart. Maybe this is significant because there are alot of major connections there, but it show that Peter Duesberg at birth was a more of a highly internal, feeling, subjective type of person. This doesn't stick me as an objective chart...

The Grand Trine is an interesting formation it isn't that uncommon to see it in charts, ..generally it represents..."Flow". One Astrologer calls G/T's "Closed circuits of self-sufficiency", Grand Trines are considered 'lucky", so much so that sometimes G/T's are considered a detriment to the native ( by the native) and sometimes, to others.

Grand Trines are more helpful if there are Challenging aspects to various points of the G/T in the Chart, They are lacking here. Things to fall in Peter's lap particularly careerwise, as he was growing up.

"In astrology, a grand trine occurs when you have three planets or other points in the horoscope that are all separated by a span of 120 degrees. With the placement of the planets, the grand trine visually looks like a large triangle across the horoscope of the recipient. It is a special configuration that is thought to promote high ideals, insight, vision, creative expression and well being. It is considered to indicate self-confidence, self-assurance, optimism, expectation, a sense of pleasure, an easy flow of energy, inspiration, expansion of creative cognition, and a sense of inner hope and faith.

Although the grand trine is seen as highly beneficent, too many trines in the chart are thought to indicate a self-indulgent temperament that repeatedly avoids self-discipline and tries to avoid fulfilling one's responsibilities in this life. The effect of unmanaged trines and grand trine supposedly reduces an individual's potential and ambition, so he will not act out his life in a dynamic and productive manner. Trines that are poorly managed are believed to lead to the native adopting a false sense of security, which results in passivity and a lack of motivation to act upon those opportunities that are presented to him during the course of his life.

The apex of the Grand Trine is at the M.C ,the Zenith of the chart. The M.C symbolizes "Career", among other things. This means to me that Peters drive and ambition works well for his chosen career (what ever that career maybe be) , but this may be too much of a good thing (Grand Trine) ! Here's Duesberg's professional accomplishments .

Another unusual and very interesting thing about this chart.. The "Ascendant" or Peter Duesberg 's "Rising sign" is in late Taurus. The Rising sign represent the physical body or manifestation, it represents the astrological perspective the native came into this incarnation with...that's in the sign Taurus; a Earthy sign, a meat and potatoes kind of guy, prove it to him and it has to be in the physical evidence he can see and feel.

"The ascendant of a given geographic location at a particular point in time is the point on the zodiac which is ascending over the Eastern horizon as viewed from that place and time.
The astrological ascendant, or rising sign, is the zodiacal sign that was ascending on the Eastern horizon at a particular moment. For example, if a horoscope was drawn for an individual's birth that occurred exactly at the moment of sunrise and the sun was in Leo at that moment, the ascendant would be in the same sign as the sun-sign, so the person would be said to have Leo rising (or ascendant in Leo) in addition to having the sun in Leo." Wikipedia

One other occult observation of Duesberg's Rising sign which is about 24 degrees in Taurus is that it is together or "Conjunct" with a notorious "Fixed Star" known as "Algol" ..... otherwise known as "The demon's head" or the head of "The Medusa's Head".

"A fixed star (from the Latin stellae fixae) is any celestial object that does not seem to move in relation to the other stars of the night sky. Hence, a fixed star is any star except for the Sun. A nebula or other starlike object may also be called a fixed star. People in many cultures have imagined that the stars form pictures in the sky called constellations. In Greek astronomy, the stars are placed on a giant sphere that revolves around the Earth daily." Wikipedia

Its one of the more sinister fixed stars, notorious and a reputation for malevolence, its probably about equal to Duesberg's interpretation of AZT. Hence you could call it as "AZT RISING", Bad Shit, but hey sometimes something offered to us as a curse can often turn out to be a blessing in disguise, although with Algol probably some kind of unfortunate event was involved.

I interpret "Algol" here as being together with his Ascendant( rising sign) , at 24 degrees Taurus. Though alot of modern Astrologers, who do fixed Stars might not associate a superficial conjunction of Algol with an ascendant at 24 Taurus. This New group of Astrologers want to use fancy calculations using "Parans" to figure this out. You can buy their program, read about it's founder, but Fixed stars in Astrology have been around for a long time. I sometimes like to look at a chart and see if there are any "fixed Stars' tied up with the "birth chart". But the Actually fixed star Astronomically can varies from the actual object in the chart by quite a distance. In spite of that Algol meaning in this chart might actually be appropriate. I find fixed stars add a another dimension to a reading if they are tied up with the chart, even in the superficial way I might be looking at it.

To find a connection between "Algol" and Peter Duesberg's rising sign , might be worth noting and a comment.

"History of the star: This star, beta Perseus, marks the head that the Hero Perseus is carrying under his left arm. Algol is the "Head of Gorgon Medusa".
Algol changes its brightness, because it is an eclipsing binary - every 68 hours and 49 minutes the demon "blinks" for roughly 8 hours as the dimmer star of the pair passes between the brighter star and the earth. Ancient Arabs thought it was spooky, and called the star Algol, or Al-Ghul (1), which means "The Ghoul" or "Demon Star", and Ri'B al Ohill, the "Demon's Head". It is said to have been thus called from its rapid and wonderful variations. Algol is the most famous of the eclipsing variables and the only one known of in ancient times. This behavior was attributed to a pulsing eye of the Gorgon Medusa.
"the Gorgon's head, a ghastly sight, deformed and dreadful, and a sight of woe" - Iliad.
"The Blinking Demon", "the Spectre's Head" are common names. Al Ghul literally signifies a "Mischief-maker".
The Hebrews knew Algol as Rosh ha Sitan, "Satan's Head", or "the Devil's Head"; also as Lilith, Adam's legendary first wife, believed to have been in existence before the creation of Eve. She is believed to be the nocturnal vampire from the lower world.
The Chinese gave it the gruesome title Tseih She, the "Piled-up Corpses". Astrologers say that it was the most unfortunate, violent, and dangerous star in the heavens. (Allen).

The way I read Fixed Stars in Astrology, Peter Duesberg has "Algol" right on his Ascendant! What does this mean?
