Astrological Chart of Oscar Pistorius and Reeva Steenkamp

I didn't want to do this chart reading because of the similarities with someone. It scares me to think about it of whatever could have happened. But then I saw an astrologer who wrote about using asteroid Narcissus in their charts. I decided to take a second look at their charts using asteroids.

I know how Narcissus works when related to picking of partners but I don't think I've seen anyone write about it. And Pallas. I would go a little deeper if time permits.

Oscar Pistorius's Natal Chart (Birthtime: 10.30a.m)

Sun at 30 Scorpio
Moon at 4 Leo
Mercury at 14 Scorpio
Venus at 6 Scorpio
Mars at 28 Aquarius
Jupiter at 14 Pisces
Saturn at 11 Sagittarius
Uranus at 22 Sagittarius
Neptune at 5 Capricorn
Pluto at 7 Scorpio

Oscar's chart reeks of Scorponic intensity. His Sun sign is also in the last degree of Scorpio.
He has a lot of fixed signs squaring each other. I sense a lot of stubbornness from his chart.
He has a Venus-Pluto-Mercury conjunction in Scorpio. He can be quite the controlling, jealous lover.

Reeva Steenkamp's Natal Chart (Birthtime: unknown)

Sun at 26 Leo
Moon at 11 Capricorn
Mercury at 24 Virgo
Venus at 5 Virgo
Mars at 4 Leo
Jupiter at 2 Sagittarius
Saturn at 30 Libra
Uranus at 6 Sagittarius
Neptune at 27 Sagittarius
Pluto at 28 Libra

She has Sun and Mars in Leo. Her perfect man would be someone like a Leo, someone who loves being in the limelight and showy.
Her Mars is also squaring her Saturn-Pluto. She might not be the best at containing anger.

Asteroids Reading:

In Reeva's natal chart,
She has asteroid Karma conjunct Nessus-Valentine.
She has "abuse" karma. It can be positive, meaning she transcends by helping people with abusive tendencies. It can go negative, meaning she just keeps meeting the wrong guys and not knowing when to walk away.

She has asteroid Narcissus conjunct Mars.
Narcissus is the self-centered Greek God who's just obsessed with himself and rejects everyone. It can also mean self-love. It could mean she could be someone who's obsessed with achieving her personal goals (Mars) to point where it come off as selfish.

Reeva also has asteroid Apollo conjunct Venus.
Apollo is the Greek Sun God who's widely adored and idolized by many. In her chart, it could mean she expects to be loved and adored to the point where she thinks it is her right to have and might take it for granted. It could also mean she loves an "Apollo" man when aspected in synastry.

In Oscar's natal chart,
He has asteroid Apollo conjunct Psyche.
His soul craves to be an "Apollo", someone who's adored and worshipped by many. He would want that from his partner.

He has asteroid Nessus conjunct Atlantis.
I use Atlantis asteroid here differently, to mean "unfinished business" or "fight for power". This is where his Nessus can transcend from his past mistakes or just might go overboard losing his great power because he never learn.

Synastry Chart of Oscar Pistorius and Reeva Steenkamp

In the synastry chart, it is pretty telling.

Oscar's Moon conjuncts Reeva's Narcissus-Mars.
A Moon-Mars conjunction in synastry sounds like a great combination but not necessarily when it's a man's yin planet conjuncting a woman's yang planet.

In their case, Reeva's Narcissus did pick a partner that will make her feel better about herself and allow her to get further. But there's a sense of negligence on her part towards him because of Narcissus activation towards Oscar's feelings (Moon). When her concerns (more for herself) are not met, her anger can come through through her Mars, which again ends up hurting Oscar's feelings (Moon).

Oscar's Narcissus conjuncts Reeva's Saturn-Pluto.
In Oscar's chart, his Narcissus is however conjuncting Reeva's Saturn-Pluto, a sign of her trying hard to ground him. Everytime when he tries to love himself selfishly (perhaps through having fun and considering less of her feelings), Reeva's Saturn will speak up. It seems like an uncomfortable spot to be in considering

Oscar's Moon is also squaring Reeva's Saturn-Pluto. 
Reeva's Mars is also squaring Reeva's Saturn-Pluto.
Picking up from here, I sense a disagreement between them going back and forth. In Saturn square aspects, whenever Saturn is enraged and shushed, it triggers in the square point, which would be Reeva's Mars and Oscar's Moon. Again it is just a recurring reminder making him feel that she comes across as loving herself more than caring for him.

Oscar's Nessus conjuncts Reeva's Apollo-Venus.
In synastry, whenever there's something conjuncting Apollo, the Apollo person feels adored. But a part of me thinks Apollo gets projected on the male figure in the relationship.

Nessus is usually linked to "abuse" but I think it can have multiple meanings, not necessarily violent. I prefer using it pertaining to power dynamics. So it could literally meaning physical fights, verbal squabbles, each trying to gain the upper hand (which is usually what you see in relationships).

Reeva's Apollo-Venus causes Oscar's Nessus to be triggered. Each time when he wants to gain the upper hand, Reeva's Apollo comes in demanding to be worshipped. It is their way of communication and loving. But this Apollo here could also mean there is just blind adoration love from her to Oscar. If Oscar is indeed really abusive, she might not be able to tell when he has crossed the line.

Oscar's Nemesis conjuncts Reeva's Chiron
Reeva's Pholus conjuncts Oscar's North Node
Whenever Reeva tries to heal his wounds, Oscar feels she is his nemesis who is bringing him pain. This in turn, inflicts pain on her.
Her turning point helps to bring him further, which in this case, is sadly true.

Oscar's Pan conjunct Reeva's Echo
In the myth, Pan pursued Echo but Echo ran away. He became so angry when she didn't return his love so he tore her into pieces. Gaia picked up remains of her body but left Echo's voice to echo on the face on the Earth.

Final Reading:

I don't think I can conclude whether Oscar killed Reeva intentionally based off charts.

People describe Oscar as a narcissist or as having "narcissistic personality disorder" but I just might call him an Apollo instead. An Apollo demands admiration/adoration from others while a Narcissus just loves and cares about himself without caring about others. Oscar's Narcissus isn't exactly conjuncting his Venus but then again his Scorpio stellium can possibly widen orbs for that asteroid to have some influence over it. Either that or his Narcissus asteroid could be conjuncting his MC.

Reeva's chart comes across stronger as having both "Narcissus" and "Apollo" influence.

I would say they are a couple, who's just obsessed with each other due to admiration for each other. They adore each other and love that they make each other look good. They have lethal planetary square aspects, which spell very strong attraction but that turns into a different story when enraged.

But an "Apollo" man isn't perfect. Apollo is that guy that wants you to adore him and only himself, and nothing else. If his girl shifts her attention to another man, it can really bring out his jealousy streak.

This could be where it goes wrong as Oscar does have a pretty strong jealous chart on its own. With a stellium squaring his moon, his controlling obsession towards his lover comes off strongly without him even knowing.

Based on the trials, Reeva's text message did reveal about her complaint of "double standards" that Oscar had for being jealous about his ex-boyfriend when Oscar had been associated with other women.

"We are living in a double standard relationship…every 5 seconds I hear how u dated another chick, you really have dated a lot of people, yet you get upset if I mention ONE funny story with a long term boyfriend."

"I do everything to make you happy and to not say anything to rock the boat with u."

I think here's what happened. It is similar to story of Echo and Pan.
In the story of Echo and Pan, even though they had common interests and complement each other, they couldn't align in terms of commitment because Echo was not supposed to marry whereas Pan wanted to. Since Pan couldn't have her, he destroyed her. Such a foolish story.

Oscar and Reeva were 2 people who think they love each other more than the other did love him/her back. They are also 2 stubborn people which neither knows when to back off during a fight. Each wanted his/her way and it causes rage to just build.

So what exactly happened on Valentine's Day? I cannot tell but based on asteroids, I think asteroid Valentine would get triggered in a way. Reeva's Valentine is conjuncting her Karma-Nessus. Surely, there was another squabble between them that night about their Valentine's where she wanted to gain the upper hand this time. There was perhaps the mention of another man that came up which would spur his jealousy or a breakup that hurt his Apollo ego. His judgement could have been clouded by his rage later on that night.


I actually like Echo and Pan. It's sad how befitting it is in this chart.

I do have this with someone.

I'd like to think better of people. Asteroids unearth a layer of the story. How things play out really depend on free will.
