Some signs and aspects are rather unfairly dubbed as bad. But there again sometimes their 'afflicted' reputation is well deserved. On trial in Cambodia at the moment for the regimes crimes is Kaing Guek Eav, head of the Khmer Rouge special branch who ran an infamous prison which tortured and starved inmates. Born on 17 Nov 1942 he's a Sun Venus Mercury in Scorpio with Mars in Scorpio is square to Pluto in Leo. Mars in Scorpio square Pluto in its most negative aspect is almost the archetypal signature for torture and killing. Eav himself was tortured when younger by Government forces. His Pluto is further emphasised being on the point of a mini Grand Trine of Neptune to Saturn Uranus in Gemini. So it's a Water Air chart which is a difficult combination in itself.
