I was puzzling over his chart, no known birth time, and had initially looked at the noon chart but it didn't show his stunning intellect, whereas charts for later in the day show his retrograde Mercury within one degree orb of a 45 degree antiscion aspect to the exact Uranus Chiron opposition. Astro data bank don't have his chart, and the online one I first looked at didn't show Chiron, which made me miss the very striking exact Chiron Uranus opposition and its crucial aspect to his stationary Mercury.

So the time of birth is just a rough guess, based on retrograde Mercury being within one degree of 24.5 degrees Scorpio.

Mercury went retrograde on 2nd November 1986 at 29 degrees Scorpio 09 minutes. So his probably qualifies as a stationary Mercury, which seems to indicate great intelligence.

Phaethon is 21 degrees Scorpio.

For much of his life, the slow transit of IsisTranspluto was squaring his natal Mercury.

At the time of his death, IsisTranspluto was no longer aspecting his Mercury, it began to around 27th November 1995 stationing at 24 degrees Leo 25.5 minutes, and last touched one degree separating around the 21st May 2009 direct station at 28 degrees Leo 03 minutes. It would still be effective after it was no longer aspecting until another major outer planet transit took over, in this case around the time of his death transiting Pluto at 9.5 degrees Capricorn, antiscion 20.5 degrees Sagittarius, was aspecting his Chiron Uranus opposition and its aspecting Mercury. Because transiting IsisTranspluto closes and transiting Pluto opens, this suggests that his natal Chiron Uranus Mercury pattern was closed, and maybe a birthtime of nearer 11.40pm which gives Ascendant 25 degrees Leo 14 minutes and Midheaven 17 degrees Taurus 55 minutes fits this, as his Moons Nodes would aspect his Midheaven, an indication of some level of fame, also opening the Midheaven and closing the Ascendant and the Chiron Uranus Mercury pattern that would aspect this Ascendant. So something was changing with the pattern that gave him his brilliant mind, not necessarily a loss of brilliance but its negative side?

Natal Mars in the sixth house, conjunct Venus' antiscion, could show his ulcerative colitis. Mars is inflammation and probably autoimmune symptoms. With the 11.40pm birth time, Midheaven 17 degrees Taurus 55 minutes, Mars would be square the Midheaven, making it also open and therefore negatively affected by the closing Neptune transit, triggered by Saturn.

Transits are for his suicide. His natal Mars' antiscion is 11 degrees Scorpio 11 minutes, and transiting Saturn was conjunct it within one degree. His natal Venus is conjunct his natal Mars' antiscion. The Saturn transit is activating a Neptune transit to these, which is closing his Venus and Mars. You always look for Mars with suicides and mental breakdowns, and Venus badly transited can indicate depression.

I think of IsisTranspluto as the yinyan symbol, with the tiny dot of its opposite in each half, and when positive it burns brightly and illuminates brilliantly whatever it transits but maybe it also burns out whatever it transits, which makes me wonder if Aaron Swartz' Mercury, representing his intellect, was within one degree of a square to his Ascendant, with IsisTranspluto lying just behind his Ascendant to exactly transit both Ascendant and Mercury (and hence also the Uranus Chiron opposition) between 1995 and 2009. Maybe IsisTranspluto does rule the light and the dark, and there is always ultimately a balance? And to wildly speculated further, maybe this balance is not always in this lifetime, as the transits of IsisTranspluto are so slow that they can dominate an entire lifetime, or change within a lifetime.

These late birth times also give the Moon opposition IsisTranspluto, and duality for the Moon can give autistic type traits, and he seems to have been fragile. It isn't always diagnosed autism, more a quality of the Moon, and Natascha Kamputsch also has Moon opposition Transpluto, across her Ascendant Descendant axis, someone else with a wonderful intelligence.

Phaethon's antiscion is 9 degrees Aquarius in his sixth house, or maybe 9.5 degrees Aquarius. Though he has a lot of planets' antiscia in Aquarius in his sixth house, which would have affected his health (if this birth time is roughly correct). And Phaethon at 20.5 or 21 degrees Scorpio squared his Moon and IsisTranspluto. Both Phaethon and IsisTranspluto create duality in what they aspect, in this case the Aquarian Moon (again if the birth time is roughly correct).

Compare his chart with Carmen Ortiz, the Obama appointed prosecutor whose office's draconian punishment directly led to his suicide. Noon chart, no birth time known.
