Henry VIII

Henry VIII

(28 June 1491 – 28 January 1547) was King of England from 1509 until his death. Henry was the second Tudor monarch, succeeding his father, Henry VII.
Henry is best known for his six marriages, in particular his efforts to have his first marriage, to Catherine of Aragon, annulled. His disagreement with the Pope on the question of such an annulment led Henry to initiate the English Reformation, separating the Church of England from papal authority.

Late in life, Henry became obese, with a waist measurement of 54 inches (140 cm), and had to be moved about with the help of mechanical inventions. He was covered with painful, pus-filled boils and possibly suffered from gout. His obesity and other medical problems can be traced to the jousting accident in 1536 in which he suffered a leg wound. The accident re-opened and aggravated a previous injury he had sustained years earlier, to the extent that his doctors found it difficult to treat. The chronic wound festered for the remainder of his life and became ulcerated, thus preventing him from maintaining the level of physical activity he had previously enjoyed. The jousting accident is also believed to have caused Henry's mood swings, which may have had a dramatic effect on his personality and temperament.

Martin Harvey in AJ, Summer/1972, quotes BR (In "Nativitas I" he states that June 28, 1491 OS is authentic with precision, 8:45 AM. The ASC he prints is 7 Virgo, which computes to 8:45 AM LAT; GMT and LMT give 6 Virgo 13 and LAT gives 6 Virgo 51)

Unfortunate # ME-SA. We conclude that ME is particularly impeded.

We can not, in our opinion, take SU as hyleg, because he is a female sign; the opposite for MO. Only LOF (POF) seems to constitute a serious candidate for a hylegial situation.
