Astro-psychological profile
Or influence of the Stars...

 

The following analysis is based on my astrological conclusions alone, and is not part of any official Saint Seiya edition !

Leo Aiolia is one of the few Golden Saints who took up more significant position in the plot, by their mere other-than-fighting interaction with numerous characters. Even though Aiolia was brought to us much closer than most of other Goldies, for an average fan that is still far from enough. Some touchy subjects were only briefly scratched, while most would like to see further development of the character, exploration of his relations to others, as well as to have some deeper insight into his emotions and personality. In what way had his older brother's fate affected the young, ambitious boy who was only 7 at the time of Aiolos' death ? He had all of sudden become "the brother of a traitor" and apparently started to hate Aiolos for what he thought was betrayal of him as well. However, erasing the memory of his niisan turned out to be a difficult task, the more difficult the more had Aiolos been his ideal and his only support, from the early childhood. In regard to other residents of Sanctuary, Aiolia thus developed an inferiority complex, feeling ashamed every time Aiolos' name was mentioned, which proves that he still wore his brother in his heart, no matter what he said. Eventually, this complex has retreated before another one mechanism - compensation (it represents an intensified effort of the whole individual to neutralize a feeling that is holding him back), which helped him out to have it all over his environment, although he couldn't overcome the constant need to prove himself, over and over again.
As far as romance is being concerned, Masami Kurumada didn't take much heed of its aspects in the series, but he has still clearly made his point of Marin being an object of Aiolia's love interest and vice versa.
However, it's Aiolia's relation to Shaina that brings up many questions as well. Especially considering that he was seen with Shaina more often than with Marin and had even promised Cassios' spirit that he would take care of her for him (and we all know how well Cassios took care of Shaina...). The answer may partly lay in opposite personalities of this two girls - while Marin is rather reserved and shy, keeping Aiolia at arm's length with her courtesy (although she's truly fond of him), Shaina is direct, aggressive and bold, so there's no need to handling her in gloves or whatsoever, which makes her easier for communication , even that communication is but quarel. But why would Aiolia pay attention to her at all, if Marin is the one he's in love with? We were denied the answer to that question during the anime, but on the other hand, following that line would easily turn the series into some kind of animated 'Dynasty'. That's why Kurumada left us enough space for imagination, previously fulfilling somewhat that space by giving out some important details about each character (such as date and place of birth, blood group, training grounds, etc.). That's not much, you'd say, but with the little help of astrology, that's all you need to get the bigger picture. If read right, position of planets in personal horoscope can reveal the very psychological core and tendencies of every individual. I'm often asked and love to write astrological analyses about people, so that's what I've tried to do with Aiolia, as if he was a real person. However, with one important data missing - the exact hour of his birth - I had to improvise, so I made several chart-calculations for each hour of the given date, that meaningfully changes the horoscope's data. Comparing the results to the facts that are already known about Aiolia, I opted for an approximate hour of his birth. What I got is the profile that stunningly fits to Kurumada's conception of this character.

When we take a look at Aiolia's horoscope, the first thing we'll notice is that majority of the planets are situated under the horizon (between ASC and DESC), at the right side of the Meridian. Also that the most dominant components are two opposite elements - fire and water, two elements that are annulling each other's extremities and, and thus are giving Aiolia well balanced personality and harmony between his feelings and his actions. The element of fire stands behind his passionate and temperamental nature, while the element of water leads his emotional life to the unimagined depths. This is romantic idealist of an adventurous sprit and rich inner life. He belongs to the group of fixed signs, whose people are stable, reliable and own great psychical and physical energy.Culminate planet, Neptune in Scorpio, gives Aiolia somewhat boemic nature, a love toward sea, women and good drink. Unfortunately, as all the people who are born under this planet, he has to bear pain and suffer losses throughout his life.

Aiolia was born with the four planets in Leo (the Sun, the Moon, Mercury and Venus), and thus has many typical traits and faults of this sign. He appears as a commanding, powerful, dignified, generous, strong-willed, and reliable individual who possesses a flare for the life of nobility and regality. He views life very clearly and has a natural ability for leadership and for designating authority. He's usually cheerful and fond of amusements, but the key word to his temperament is positive pride. His life is in many ways influenced by decisions he makes that have been motivated by his pride, desire for power, for authority, and his need to convince others of his courage.
Another, somewhat negative aspect of this zodiacal sign, is that his personality becomes excessively charged with passion and sexual desire. On the other hand, this sign grants in life a fine physical shape and a strong, healthy constitution, as well as a tremendous amount of vitality.
Willpower is a characteristic of his personality. He seeks opportunities and when he finds them he goes to it, using both his mind and his emotions to strive for success with zeal and determination. He is very self-confident and he implements ideas with a self- assurance that lets nothing get in his way of success. He feels that he has an important mission and that the petty matters that affect others do not refer to him. Because of Aiolia's sense of pride and frankness, he may feel unappreciated when he doesn't receive from others the openhanded treatment that he himself gives.

The Sun, giver of light and the king of our solar system, was found in the fifth house at the time of his birth. This is a very significant location for the Sun, which makes Aiolia stand out in a crowd. Because of this outstanding quality, he doesn't need to strive to make a stronger impression when he encounters someone who is attractive to him. His love life promises to be very rich and will list many rewarding emotional attachments. Leo is the sign of the lover, and the Sun in this house gives his personality grace, generosity and charm. Aiolia tends to give and receive love freely, and will surround his loved one with tenderness, lavishing attention on her, which may startle or overwhelm someone who is not accustomed to it. He can give out too much of a good thing. He tries to bring happiness and protection to those he loves. However, in affection he may become too patronizing. In love he's wholehearted, very affectionate, and passionate, but still conducts himself with dignity and certain pose. Aiolia's pride is very sensitive in matters connected with his emotional nature. He can be easily injured if his possessiveness and majesty in love is threatened. He is very magnanimous and forgiving with those he loves, often turning a blind eye to their misconduct and will extend many positive qualities along with natural protection and strength. His life is oriented towards success in society and pleasurable activities.

The Moon, the earth satellite, that was also found in the fifth house in conjunction with the Sun, indicates that he was born with a knack for dealing with people and ability to communicate with them. His emotional nature is very much geared to his love towards pleasure, and he possesses a very curious aptitude. However, in spite of his positive qualities, the fact of the matter is that he can be very changeable in love. His love feelings are very well developed and lead toward strong drives for sensations and passionate tendencies, that unfortunately aren't directed at one object alone. Aiolia enjoys the presence and love of many, but in the end he will probably lock his truly heartfelt loyalty and love to one person only, as long as he's given freedom to be.
He has a certain infectious quality that enables him to lead others in good times.
Thus it is easy for him to become involved in a love relationship for the mere joy and entertainment it provides. But he may be unwilling to confront the more problematical aspects of a relationship because he doesn't intend to get involved in such complications. For him, lovemaking is a positive and enjoyable form of recreation. He does not sharply separate his love life from the rest of his pursuits, and much of the same pleasure he derives from sex he can also get from other forms of recreation and social contact. His lover should be as much a free spirit as him and should enjoy social gatherings, because Aiolia feels unfulfilled if he's alone for a long time.

At the time of Aiolia's birth the zodiacal sign of Aries was ascending in the horizon. Its ruler Mars was located at the 4th house. Aries is the first sign of the zodiacal belt and its natives seem also desirous of being "first" in all activities with which they happen to be involved. The cardinality of the sign makes Aiolia extremely active and capable of displaying ambition, impulsiveness, courage, and boldness in order to satisfy his desire for prominence in the world. The general course of his life is filled with many 'ups' and 'downs' and changes conforming very much with the psychological nature of his temperament. Whether he triumphs or not in life will depend on his ability to develop his most positive inborn qualities and, simultaneously, exert some control over his less favorable characteristics, such as a lack of prudence, and a certain disregard for the feelings and opinions of others. The secret for a better integration of a leonine personality would be awareness of his limitations and to acquire some humility. Aries gives him a tendency to be inclined toward activities that necessitate pioneering ideas and/or a militant disposition. One of Aiolia's problems may be that in his love for achievement in novel projects he tends to destroy old concepts and former contributions which would, perhaps, have been useful for his endeavors.
Impulsive, critical, despising mean or dubious acts, he will create many excellent friendships but also important enemies. His life is rich in passion and ardent love. In sexual matters he is quick, aggressive, and to the point. Aiolia is a lover of pleasures, which he feels with a bright, open, and sparkling character. This indicates a life of activity, dynamism, many ups and downs and struggles, to which he'll adopt an attitude of courage, initiative, and enterprise.

Venus, the planet of love and harmony,at the time of his birth was technically near the end of the 4th house and is therefore interpreted in the fifth house. Venus was in conjunction with Mercury, Mars and Jupiter. At first glance this denotes rich, intense, and pleasant emotional events that will enhance Aiolia's psychic nature. He is a person who could be regarded as fortunate in love and very successful. Whereas Venus grants the basic capability to reach full enjoyment from love and emotional involvement, it also indicates a tendency to be somewhat inconsistent, volatile, and changeable in romance. Although he is capable of loving intensely and with devotion, the tendencies are to lose interest after a certain time. Aiolia would be in a better position if he could exert some control over his span of interest. These aspects also indicate that he has a generous helping of desire and a healthy sexual appetite. His taste runs to all-over-the-body sensuality rather than to localized tastes. He isn't concerned with impressive accouterments; he just wants pleasure to be readily available. If there is any drawback to this position, it is that he demands high standards and will not stand for niggardliness or boredom. For him, love is a happy, joyful experience, and his partner should share his open and optimistic approach. Whatever he wants, he wants it then and there. Although he values close personal communication with a partner, he feels that it is better achieved on a mental plane rather than through sex. Aiolia needs an artful lover, but one who retains a sense of youthful innocence, for whom experience and technique are not ends in themselves. Love must always retain the purity and beauty of a flower.

Mars in the fourth house brings some domestic troubles and surroundings which are not harmonious to him. Fate demands that Aiolia develops very strong and resistant attitudes to maintain the security and integrity of his life. His disposition is frank, open and outspoken. Many of the events of his existence are accelerated by his own impulsiveness, persistence and also by his fearless spirit to conquer and go forward. He strives to satisfy his ambition which consists of reforming and improving the world. In communicating with others, Aiolia is usually very consistent, at times too sincere. His attitude, however, is impulsive, ambitious, enterprising and domineering. He will strike a note of dignity and justice with all with whom he communicates. He is very proud and cannot stand insult. This quality is overcompensated for by his generous, noble and open disposition. Life should have a place for him at the top. Position of Mars in Cancer, conjugating Jupiter and trining Neptune and Uranus, gives him a tendency to be a careful and thoughtful lover who creates an all-encompassing sexual experience for his partner. He is able to transmit a certain intimacy and security through lovemaking that few others can achieve. To enhance this quality, he'll rather express his love in somewhat protected, familiar circumstances that complement his style. Although his sexual technique is pretty fundamental, his manner of loving has considerable strength, and his partner can always depend on him in a pinch. He will be happiest with a lover who is quieter and more reticent in order to balance his dominant tendencies. He is best suited to someone who will let him take the initiative.

Saturn, the planet of destiny, was in Pisces, in the twelfth house at the time of his birth. This planet places many unpleasant and annoying obstacles in Aiolia's life, and intensifies the feelings he has about the limitations of his environment. Saturn in this position also indicates unjustified persecution, ideological and existential crises and severe renunciations. Aiolia's professional honor affects his feelings very much and he's truly satisfied only when things go well. Destiny may have to teach him to deal with certain complexes that are nesting in his subconscious and showing up in his mind as morbid hypersensitivity, wanting to be alone and to do things by himself so no one will know how he feels. This planet's position also results in some emotional hang-ups. He wants close, intimate contacts with others, but he tends to keep people at arm's length because he's afraid he'll become obligated to them.

Jupiter, the planet of luck, in Cancer, in the 4th house, indicates a significant help that Aiolia receives from a close family member, as well as his attachment to his native land. Aiolia respects tradition, principles and has a strong sense of duty while attaining an appropriate social position is at the top of his priority list.

Uranus, the planet of sudden changes, and Pluto,the occult planet, conjunct in Virgo, in the sixth house, which is a very rare aspect that only happens every 115 years. This position should denote a large amount of vitality, with much energy and dynamism in everything that Aiolia does, and enough potential and strong will to sustain the more negative circumstances. This position indicates that he's strongly influenced by his feelings and moods. His awareness of himself is influenced by his momentary feelings, and this perception is subject to rapid changes of mood and emotion. This astrological combination may also lead him into clandestine love affairs. Unless he uses a great amount of tact and diplomacy, these secret affairs may create social complications that force premature termination. Elaborate courting is not his game. Because of his honesty, his love affairs may begin and end quite abruptly, as he has no desire to continue a relationship that is no longer working well. The main advantage of this position is that it indicates a strong, forceful personality. But he must use that power carefully in his love relationships. At times he may find it difficult to decide exactly what he wants out of a relationship, or he may find out what he would really have enjoyed only after the affair is over. For this reason, it would be a good idea to prolong his courtship in order to find out what each partner wants and expects before making a commitment. He appreciates a lover who doesn't discuss their personal life with others; in fact, he is quite attracted to the idea of carrying on an affair in secret.

He seems to have an open, straightforward nature without too much complexity: self- confident and charming, with an honest natural social grace. This may reflect his inner nature, but as often as not, his cheerful, outgoing appearance hides a much more complex and inward-turned personality. However, the disadvantage of this duality is that he may feel pressured to sustain an image that he doesn't truly feel within.
