* J. R. Martinez's wristwatch saved the underlying skin when he sustained burns to a third of his body while serving in Iraq. He now has a tattoo of a watch around his wrist, with the hands showing 2:30 p.m. - the time of his injury and of his birth. At the time of his injury Jupiter on the Ascendant was conjunct his natal Venus-Moon conjunction in Leo, Pluto in Sagittarius was opposite his natal Mars, and the Sun in Aries was conjunct his natal Eris. That's a lot of fire, in a Grand Fire Trine. Martinez has transcended his injuries partly by becoming a motivational speaker. Data and charts below.
