Biography
Pakistani noted family member,
his young life is steeped in the machinations and bloodshed of his
country’s political struggle. His mother, former Prime Minister Benazir
Bhutto, was assassinated in December 2007 as she attempted to regain
political power. His maternal grandfather, the founder of the Pakistan
People’s Party (PPP) and the first elected Prime Minister of the
country, had been executed in 1979 under martial law. Two of his three
maternal uncles have also been killed, both under mysterious
circumstances, one allegedly poisoned in 1985, the other gunned down in
1996. Bilawal’s father, Asif Ali Zardari, is also an active political
figure who has faced his own struggles, having served jail time on
corruption charges that have reportedly never been proven.
The eldest of three children and the only son, Bilawal’s name means “one
without equal.” He was born just a month before his mother was elected
Prime Minister for her first term. She was dismissed in 1990 on
corruption charges but regained the office in 1993 until she was
dismissed in 1996, again on corruption charges. In 1999 she fled to
self-imposed exile in Dubai. Consequently, he has spent much of his
young life outside his home country. Like his mother and her father
before him, he matriculated at Oxford University, attending Christ
Church College just as his maternal grandfather did. He has tried to
have a “normal” life at school, attending to his studies and athletic
endeavors like swimming, cricket, horse-riding, marksmanship and
Taekwondo, in which he holds a black belt. Close friends and relatives
describe him as shy, a private and studious young man who is nonetheless
charismatic, popular and fun-loving. He is said to have inherited superb
speaking skills from his mother.
Bilawal displayed ambivalence toward a political leadership role when
asked whether he would like to enter politics. "We will see, I don't
know. I would like to help the people of Pakistan, so I will decide when
I finish my studies.” But with his mother’s assassination on December
27, 2007, he has been catapulted into the public eye. His mother had
named her husband as her successor in leadership of the Pakistan
People’s Party (PPP). Aware of his own somewhat tarnished reputation and
of the significance of having a Bhutto in charge, Zardari in turn named
his son as co-chair of the party. Further, “Bhutto” was added to
Bilawal’s name. For now, however, Zardari will lead the party for all
intents and purposes. Young Bilawal has returned to London to resume his
studies and has downplayed expectations of his immediate involvement in
Pakistan’s largest political party.

What Do You Think?
We have several birth times on file for
Benazir Bhutto, the Pakistani political leader, who was assassinated this
past month. None of the times have yet been verified though one of the times
is said to have come from her father’s astrologer. Bhutto was a powerful and
riveting figure. Because her data currently carries a Rodden Rating of DD,
we prefer not to feature her chart for discussion. However, owners of
AstroDatabank versions 3 and 4 will be able to download the revised record
and complete source notes.
For purposes of this week’s newsmaker, we thought it would instead be
instructive to look at the chart of her young son and possible successor,
Bilawal Bhutto Zardari. Let’s use some caution when analyzing his chart,
remembering that he is young yet and that astrological symbolism plays out
in various ways.
-
Although he is
not yet 20 years old, he has been thrust into the public eye by the tragic
death of his mother. Where in Bilawal’s chart might you see the power of
his maternal lineage and the tragic violence of it? What factors might
describe his father’s absence through imprisonment? If Bilawal were your
client, how would you describe these family influences and what would you
tell him that might be helpful to him?
-
Let’s
look at some of his personal qualities. He’s been described as shy and
studious yet popular, charismatic and fun-loving, an athlete and sports
fan. Where are these traits and preferences seen in his chart? He has shown
some ambivalence toward party leadership and political involvement. Is the
ambivalence shown in his chart or is he just not ready to assume
responsibility yet? What do you make of his exact Ascendant-Pluto
conjunction in Scorpio, with Mars retrograde in Aries? He is said to have
inherited his mother’s eloquence. What in the chart might indicate that he
has the speaking skills necessary to inspire the crowds as his mother did?
Does the chart argue for a public or private role in life?
-
What factors in
his chart might indicate that he would spend so many of his formative years
outside his native country and its traditions?
-
Like
others born around his birth date, Bilawal has a natal Saturn-Uranus
conjunction. How does the natal Saturn-Uranus conjunction play out in
Bilawal’s life? Although aspects of the slower moving planets coincide with
global events, we feel them personally as well, based on our age, our chart,
and other factors. Note that his natal conjunction recently received the
impact of the transiting Jupiter-Pluto conjunction. How would you have
interpreted this powerful transit if Bilawal had consulted you a year ago?
You will note also that transiting Saturn and Uranus are forming the first
of five exact oppositions that occur from late 2008 to mid-2010. What
counsel would you extend to Bilawal about these oppositions?
