Octozone: Pistorius may end up behind bars

Oscar Pistorius has an intriguing horoscope with Planet 'Z' being deeply exalted in his 12th house, the most mysterious of the lot.

Firstly, it rules the 'legs'. An exceptionally strong 12th house can make people either lose their legs or use them to attain great success. The South African lost his legs, but also gained from them. He went on to become the fastest man on prosthetic legs. Secondly, the 12th house rules 'losses' of all sorts. The 'Blade Runner' has lost many things in life, including his mother, an estranged father, girlfriend and, of course, his legs. Lastly, it also rules 'incarceration'. People afflicted with a strong 12th house are either outlawed, exiled or end up spending a significant period behind bars.

The writing is on the wall. Pistorius has to complete the cycle of the 12th house karma now: he has lost his girlfriend, and he now stands to lose everything else. It is highly likely that he will be convicted and spend the rest of his life in prison.
