Rodden Rating / Source: DD / Conflicting/Unverified
Source Notes: Thomas Kiernan, 1976 "Arafat, The Man and The Myth" (1976, p.33) "Mother went into labor August 26, 1929, a few hours into the morn of the 27th she prematurely delivered her fourth boy child in Cairo." (p.23) "There is no absolute information on his place of birth; a cousin says he once boasted of having office records in Cairo destroyed in order to underscore his born-in-Jerusalem image"

Bill Meridian sends a Xerox page of W.H. Allen, "Behind the Myth, Yasser Arafat" (first published in UK 1990, revised paperback edition pub by Corgi 1991) "Mohammed Abdel-Raouf Arafat al-Qudwa al-Husseini was, according to his university record, born in Cairo on 4 August, 1929, sixth child of Abdel Raoul al-Qudwa al-Husseini."

Shelley von Strunckel has a date from his wife Suha, via a mutual friend, of August 24, 1929, 2:00 AM EET, Cairo. CIDA goves Sept. 27, 1929, Cairo, Eygipt, time 2AM.

Carole Hemingway reports that biography.com states: "His date and place of birth are disputed; while he claims to have been born August 4, 1929, in Jerusalem, a birth certificate gives the date as August 24, 1929, in Cairo, Egypt."

LMR notes that in a newspaper interview, he explained that "facts" or "truth" as known to the western mind, has a more flexible interpretation in the mid-east.

Biography

Arab guerilla leader of Palestine Liberation Organization, founded in 1964, a former terrorist. He and Israeli P.M. Yitzhak Rabin reshaped the Middle East with an agreement toward independence for Palestinians, signed in Washington, DC at 11:46 AM EDT on 9/13/93. They were sworn enemies until a few days prior, based on decades of distrust.

In the late '90s he was reported to have Parkinson's.

During the Gulf War, Arafat chose the side of Saddam Hussein. In the terrorist war a decade later, in 2002 he denounced bin Laden and expressed sympathy with the American losses. At the same time, ancient enmities flared once more in bloody exchanges with equally militant Israelis.

According to aides, he suffers from neurological injuries caused by a near-fatal plane crash in Libya in 1992. Other reports said that he suffered from Parkinson's Disease.

In October 2004, Arafat missed several important meetings and didn’t appear for prayers at Ramadan. He was said to be suffering from flu or similar ailment. However, his condition worsened and he sought medical treatment outside his Ramallah compound. On October 28, 2004 doctors diagnosed a platelet deficiency. With safe passage promised by Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, a frail and thin Arafat was airlifted to a Paris hospital on October 30 where doctors shortly thereafter ruled out leukemia but, other than the additional report of a high white blood cell count, awaited results of other tests in order to make a diagnosis. Arafat's condition soon worsened and he slipped into a coma. At 3:30 AM CET on November 11, 2004, Arafat died in the intensive care unit of Percy Military Training Hospital in Clamart, France, according to spokesman General Christian Estripeau.

What Do You Think?

So many people have asked us for the chart of Yasser Arafat that we have bent our policy against putting unreliable birth charts up on the web site. There are three different recorded birthdays for Arafat. It pains me to see people publishing analyses of his chart when we know that there is no definitive chart of Yasser Arafat. Thus, as a public service, we are putting up all three charts to alert the astrological community to this fact.

Using transits and AstroCartography which chart seems to work best?
