The Birth Chart of Pope Leo XIV and the Grace of Secret Shame
On Sunday 8 June, we held our monthly AstroliJam. This month’s subject was Pope Leo XIV, born Robert Francis Prevost, newly elected leader of the Catholic Church.
Without a recorded time of birth, we used life events and personality traits to hypothesize a possible rising sign for natal chart interpretation. We explored cards of truth, timing techniques, transits, and even the Sidereal perspective to refine the chart further. From Kaal Sarpa Yoga’s intensity, to Jupiter’s dignified position in Leo and a potential secret shame, the indicators all point toward a leader shaped by surrender, love, and a higher calling.
If this kind of astrological detective work fascinates you, join us for our next AstroliJam on Sunday, 13 July or explore deeper patterns in spiritual charts in our Redemption Arc Detective Tier on 5 July at pateron.com/fionamarques.
