Roman Kemp<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

28-year old Roman Kemp has just made a documentary about mental health.\u00a0 I usually try to vary my blogs, but it is looking like Mental Health month here now…first Meghan Markle, then Caroline Flack, and now Roman.\u00a0 He was driven to make this programme “Our Silent Emergency”, which aired last week, by the death (by suicide) of his buddy Joe Lyons.\u00a0 There is concern that particularly young males are vulnerable to suicidal thoughts and feelings, and of course a year’s worth of lockdowns has exacerbated all mental health issues.\u00a0 Roman has himself suffered depression, and talks in the film about how he was able to talk to his mother Shirlie to some extent about his feelings, but wants to encourage young men to open up more.\u00a0 In the documentary, he explored what can be done to help, and also the effect on those left behind when there is a suicide.<\/p>\n

I will keep this blog short…firstly, there is not much to go on, because Joe’s birth date isn’t recorded online (though I have a possible date), and secondly because I wrote a blog about the Kemp family (Martin, Shirlie, Roman plus Gary) in 2019.<\/p>\n

I wrote in 2019:<\/p>\n

“Roman Kemp is the younger of their [Martin and Shirlie’s] two children, and is currently appearing in I\u2019m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here.\u00a0 He normally works as a radio presenter.\u00a0 So far in the Jungle he has revealed that it was his Nan\u2019s suggestion that Gary bring Martin into the band Spandau Ballet, and that he has seen a UFO.\u00a0 He describes his father as his best friend.\u00a0\u00a0 Martin\u2019s Sun is conjunct Roman\u2019s Jupiter, which suggests a shared sense of humour.\u00a0 They have a karmic link, in Martin\u2019s Ascendant sextile Roman\u2019s North Node.\u00a0 George Michael was Roman\u2019s godfather.”<\/p>\n

Of his recent claim to have suffered depression, one would look mainly at the planets Saturn, Pluto and Neptune in a birth chart.\u00a0 He has Sun and Mercury trine Jupiter, plus Mars square Jupiter in his chart, which are quite upbeat.\u00a0 He admits that their work together (Joe as a radio producer) was to produce laughter.\u00a0 Where he might experience depression is in his conjunction of Mercury with Saturn, a propensity to overthink things perhaps or to look on the bleak side at times.\u00a0 Neptune squares his natal Jupiter, meaning that he can get confused about existential beliefs regarding religion and spirituality.\u00a0 And Saturn square Pluto is a difficult square when facing the realities of life.<\/p>\n

The two working colleagues were very close, and Roman could not believe he did not spot how much Joe was hurting.\u00a0 His death hit Roman very hard, and has resulted in galvanizing Roman into making this programme.\u00a0 His shock at Joe’s death (the news of which came while Roman was on air) shows the following transits for Roman:<\/p>\n

Mars sextile Roman’s Saturn (some harsh news); Mars square his natal Uranus (a sudden shock); Mars square his Neptune (great sensitivity); Mars trine his North Node (a karmic event involving a fellow warrior in life); Jupiter on his Uranus\/Neptune (more surprise and sensitivity, though not of the right kind); and Uranus sextile his natal Mars (more surprise and shock).<\/p>\n

Joe Lyons<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Joe was a talented young radio producer, aged 31 when he departed.\u00a0 Although his birth date is not recorded, I found a tweet for May 24th 2020 in which he mentions sharing a birthday on that day with someone.\u00a0 So I have looked at that as a possible chart for his birth.<\/p>\n

If accurate, Joe would have had Mercury square Saturn, which can sometimes result in depression,\u00a0 Moon square Neptune, which is very imaginative, and Mars conjunct Chiron which can hold some wounding.\u00a0 In his bond with Roman he would have had a brotherly sextile between his Mercury and Roman’s Mars, and a laughter filled opposition between his Jupiter and Roman’s Sun.\u00a0 His pressures at the time he took his life would have included Pluto opposing his natal Chiron.\u00a0 However, bear in mind that may not be his birthchart at all.<\/p>\n

You probably know of a similar tragic case.\u00a0 Back in the 1970s, I worked for two years in a Psychiatric Unit.\u00a0 In the early ’80s, a Senior Charge Nurse from that Unit took his own life.\u00a0 That event affected me deeply, and I began to feel that some young men were extremely vulnerable…perhaps they did not have the emotional resources, or the faith in life, or ability to reach out.\u00a0 I took the decision to stop doing astrological readings for this group for a while, a few years in fact.\u00a0 Eventually I reached a place where I felt it was more useful to do the charts than not.<\/p>\n

Roman’s programme has been well-received.\u00a0 Talking about his conclusions in an interview, Roman said that it was important not to take for granted that people were O.K.; people around them should always encourage them to talk about their feelings.<\/p>\n

Aspects<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Venus enters Aries this afternoon, joining the Sun in the early degrees of that sign.\u00a0 For many, that will be a signal to go forth boldly.\u00a0 Venus types may feel that they are being pushed to a faster pace of life than they are comfortable with.\u00a0 There is a warmer and more demonstrative feel about Venus while she is in Aries, but hugs are still not allowed in the present climate.\u00a0 Venus stays in Aries until 14th April.<\/p>\n

Late tonight, Mercury will be sextile with Uranus, giving rise to spectacular and unusual communications.\u00a0 This encourages us to use all the new technology for our communications, and brings new ideas, heightening intuition and telepathy. \u00a0\u00a0This aspect can amaze you and help you find that “wow” factor.\u00a0 Occurring so close to bedtime in the U.K., the flashing forth of new ideas may keep you awake in the early hours!<\/p>\n

Tomorrow (Monday 22nd) Mars trines Saturn, which favours practical action, and works that are deliberately planned and executed.\u00a0 Hard work can pay off.\u00a0 So far, so good!<\/p>\n

A trickier aspect occurs on Wednesday (24th) when Mars squares Mercury.\u00a0 If you’ve been sailing along on a bright new health and fitness regime, be careful not to overdo things as you may be slightly incident-prone, partly through carelessness or complacency.\u00a0 Another possible hazard of this square is argumentativeness and verbal conflict.<\/p>\n

Mercury squares the Nodal Axis on Thursday (25th): this brings in a karmic theme including karmic information, and the need to attend to detail in your work and communications.\u00a0 A time of karmic recalibration, especially in relation to groups.\u00a0 A phrase we are hearing a lot is “After this is all over…”\u00a0 It is time to make a list!\u00a0 And put into practice what we can do now.<\/p>\n

Friday (26th) puts the spotlight on those twinned influences, Venus and Mars.\u00a0 First up, a conjunction between the Sun and Venus at 6 degrees Aries.\u00a0 If you are an artist or a musician, it is the day you can produce your best creative output or performance.\u00a0 If neither, then love or money may be beneficiaries of this combination.<\/p>\n

Then Mars conjoins the North Node at 13 degrees Gemini.\u00a0 This brings to the fore warrior karma, e.g. standing up for your rights.\u00a0 Street protests may be in the news, for instance.\u00a0 With Mars conjunct the North Node, we see the karmic results of our actions straight away, giving us the wisdom of knowing, instant-karma style, whether or not we are doing things the right way.\u00a0 With the Sun in Aries, directness and impulsiveness are currently in the air anyway, but it’s a good time to practise conscious interaction with integrity.<\/p>\n
