Horary Astrology
In the sky, there was a Mars squ Uranus and any adverse aspect between these two planets often points to aviation mishaps and freak accidents.
There is also a Saturn in Aries conj Neptune in Aries, which is two cycles together (Sat 29 years and Neptune 165 year cycle) pointing to phobia and mental stress for masses especially for children and seniors but which will also lead to reform in the especially industry.
Dreamliner Delivery Date: 14 Dec 2013
When the Dreamliner was delivered on 14th Dec 2013, Mars in Libra was opposite Uranus in Aries—the same aviation disaster configuration that was activated again. In fact, Uranus in Aries at the time of delivery (which is like the natal chart of the plane) conjoined Saturn and Neptune in Aries in the sky at the time of the crash.
This represents a clash of the old and the new (Saturn–Uranus): the older captain shutting off the fuel switches, and the younger first officer (Saturn in Aquarius, ruled by Uranus!) trying to save them.
Astrological Analysis
Capt. Sumeet Sabharwal (DOB: March 9, 1973)
- Mercury Opposite Pluto: Indicates potential life-or-death scenarios and psychological extremes. A tendency toward secrecy and control. Often violates of divine truth. Inability to cope with fated events (depressed due to loss of his mother two years ago.
- Transiting Neptune cnj Mercury: Mental confusion, justifying irrational actions, and blurred perception.
- Venus in Pisces: Romantic idealism, unrealistic expectations in relationships.
- Saturn Squ Venus: Deep emotional repression and loneliness. Loss of love. Often restrictive love.
- Neptune squ Venus One of the major signs of sorrow in astrology. Many Renaissance artists were born with it. Nobody fits their ideal.
Sabharwal’s chart reveals a deeply troubled inner world. The presence of Mercury opp Pluto (where they violate divine truth and can cause life-death situations) and Mercury in Pisces (ability to rationalize especially under mental stress, even though it is normally a chart of someone who likes to save others.
According to the flight data and black box analysis, the fuel switches were disengaged mid-flight—a move that First Officer Clive Kunder could not have performed while piloting with both hands on the yoke. Sabharwal, as Pilot Monitoring, had access and responsibility for overseeing the systems. His cryptic reply when questioned via cockpit audio, “I did not,” reflects Mercury in Pisces inability to separate truth form fantasy, mental dissociation or denial.
Capt Sabharwal was not married, had no children and had a Saturn sq Venus. This is one of the signs of loneliness and sadness in love. By transit, Neptune conjunt his natal Mercury, adding to the justification of uncreditable decision.
First Officer Clive Kunder (DOB: February 1, 1993)
- Mercury in Aquarius: Highly professional, clear-minded. clear communication and ability to stay calm under duress.
- Mercury cnj Saturn Although Saturn harnesses Mer in Aqu brilliance, it also shows delays in communication.
Interpretation: Clive Kunder displayed immense professionalism and likely tried his best to stabilize the aircraft. He is the unsung hero of this tragedy, embodying the qualities of discipline and reliability.
This tragedy is not just one of mechanical or procedural failure—it is one of human vulnerability. Capt. Sabharwal’s natal chart suggests severe emotional and psychological struggles that may have gone undetected or unaddressed.
Airlines must urgently reconsider how pilots are screened and supported:
- Mandatory Mental Health Evaluations: Regular psychological profiling is essential—not to penalize but to detect red flags early.
- Ongoing Emotional Support: Mental wellness programs must be offered in a non-threatening, supportive manner. Pilots should feel safe to disclose emotional strain without fear of losing their career.
Too many innocent lives have been lost because of personal issues of the pilots: EgyptAir Flight 990, Germanwings, Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, and the one in China a few years back.
Astrology can help identify early signs of inner conflict long before they manifest in tragedy. In this case, Mercury-Pluto and Mercury-Neptune aspects were loud warnings that went unheard.
Airlines should learn from this loss and build a safer aviation system but looking after the mental and physical health of their pilots.
