No guarantee can be given re the accuracy of this data.
Here are some brief observations to provide a more nuanced look at this widely known -and feared person, who has been depicted in a rather one-dimensional manner by the world press. Astrologers can, when given accurate birth data, present the bigger picture, the contradictions and complexities that show no one is totally good, no one totally evil.
Bin Laden is a Pisces, with Mercury and Venus in Pisces. Not the face of terrorism, but the face of faith. It is only when we dig deeper, do the defining aspects of Bin Laden's life and death reveal themselves.
The Pisces group is the most elevated = 10th house of the chart - where a person comes into public view.
Next look at Neptune, the carrier of the Pisces themes. It's in Scorpio in the 6th house along with the North Node, also in Scorpio. Through the drives of Scorpio -transformative and often destructive and annihilating, Bin Laden's fate unfolded.
His love of communicating comes through the Gemini ascendant, use of modern technologies through Uranus in the 3rd house and use of video is the domain of Pisces. That bin Laden chose to change his appearance is totally consistent with the dominance of mutable signs - all four are prominent through Sun, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and the Ascendant -and not as some say a vanity.
The fixed signs Taurus, Scorpio, Aquarius and Leo are the other prominent group - working in contrast to his mutable, changeable and fundamentally soft personality traits. Fixed signs bring stubborness, unchanging and determined often fanatical, obsessive pursuit of goals/people. This capacity for endurance gave Bin Laden the sort of stamina that your basic Pisces lacks. This strong streak to his personality comes through his Mars (male sense of self) energy empowered by a dominating Pluto in Leo and a purification drive via Jupiter in Virgo . (Mars at 25 Taurus trine Jupiter 28 Virgo; Mars square Pluto 29 Leo.)
These factors, plus Saturn the force of cold-heartedness ( squaring Venus and Mercury) was drawn upon by him to supress the normal empathy and humanitarian sensitivity that Pisces are famous for. We know little of the private bin Laden: perhaps his family received some nurturing through his Cancer Moon trine Neptune.
Pluto sits at the IC point in the 4th house: this may be the marker of "death at home". It occurred when a lot of Aries energy was transiting. On May 1 2011 he was shot in the head = Aries/Mars indicator and as stated Pluto is in stress to bin Laden's natal Mars. Pluto transiting his 8th house gives a timing hint: at 7 degrees Capricorn it exactly aspects his 7 degree ascendant.
There will be heaps more, like midpoints to look at..but for now, I rest my case.
Update May 16
Reports coming through about the cache of materials uplifted by US SEALS give added indications of Bin Laden's Gemini traits, this being the important rising sign ( and the sign of the Twins -links to Twin Towers) Bin Laden's personal diary was located and he is said to have written copious amounts of emails, despatched on a thumb drive for a courier to email at an internet cafe - one of the true hallmarks of Gemini is writing/reading/communicating in any format
Here is a guide to signs/symbols referred to in this
