do you believe Diana was murdered?
You must be new here.
I believe she got into a car with a drunk (and heavily medicated) driver and never wore her seatbelt.
I do not believe she was “murdered”, unless you consider Mohamed Fayed a suspect.

Interest in the Princess's private life is unlikely to die down any time soon.

Looking for Icarus Narratives in the Natal Chart
Used only sidereal charts for this post. If you want to use it for western charts, feel free, but know that it was written with Vedic astrology in mind. Posted for public reference but please see my disclaimer in my bio beforehand.
In my opinion, Icarus is a Rahu/North Node figure. He aspired to something beyond his reach - and as a result, created a beautiful story that is unfortunately still founded in tragedy. This isn't something we should fault him for. We can all fall from grace as a result of obsessive, indulgent, or reckless behavior, and wanting more than what others think you are worthy of is natural and, in some cases, can even be noble.
You can identify personal Icarus narratives by looking for connections between Rahu and the Sun. Here, Rahu represents Icarus and the Sun obviously represents itself. For more in-depth readings, you can interpret Jupiter as Daedalus, Venus as the wings, Saturn as the glue, and Mars as death. Currently, I also read the Moon as the sea into which his body fell and Ketu as representing the tower from which Daedalus and Icarus were escaping.
A secondary importance should be given to any correlations between the 8th house and either Sun or Rahu, since ultimately, the house of death and transformation plays nearly as important a role in this myth.
This post was first inspired by the correlations I saw between rockstars who died young, which then expanded to public figures with tragic or contentious reputations but also a magnetic appeal, especially those who "flew too close to the sun" so to speak. The primary natives I investigated and the placements that I looked at are below.
Marie Antoinette, D1: Rahu-ruled Ascendant, Sun, and Medium Coeli. Sun-ruled Saturn and Rahu. Sun in the 5th, and ruling the 3rd, which is occupied by Rahu. Mars occupying the 1st, and ruling the 6th as well as the 11th, which is opposite the Sun.
Britney Spears, D1: Rahu-ruled Jupiter and Jupiter-ruled Rahu, plus Rahu-ruled Medium Coeli. Sun-ruled Ascendant, Mars, Venus, and Ketu. 5th occupied by Sun-ruled Venus and Ketu in tight conjunction, thus opposite Rahu in the 11th. Jupiter in 2nd, or 10th from 5th. Sun in 3rd, or 11th from 5th and 5th from 11th. Leo ruling 12th, occupied by Mars.
Princess Diana, D1: Rahu in Leo. Rahu-ruled Sun and Mercury, both in the 8th. Sun-ruled Venus and Saturn, with the former in the 7th (which makes in 10th from the 10th-house Rahu) and the latter in the 3rd (which makes it 8th from the 8th house Sun).
Dodi Fayed, D1: Rahu-ruled Ketu. Sun-ruled Moon, Mars, and Medium Coeli. Ketu-ruled Sun and Rahu. Sun in 1st. Rahu in 9th, which makes Sun 5th from the 9th. Leo ruling 5th, which is 8th from Medium Coeli. Saturn, sign and house ruler for Medium Coeli, in 7th, or 5th from Ketu, ruler of both Sun and Rahu.
Kurt Cobain, D1: Rahu-ruled Sun, Mars, and Ketu. Sun-ruled Ascendant. Rahu in the 8th. Sun in the 6th, which is 11th from 8th. Venus, as the ruler of Rahu, occupying the 7th, or 12th from the 8th, 2nd from 6th. Mars, ruled by Rahu, in the 2nd, or 8th from the 7th and 7th from the 8th. 5th ruled by Capricorn, with Saturn conjunct Venus in 7th.
Courtney Love, D1: Rahu-ruled Saturn and Rahu. 9th simultaneously occupied by Sun and Rahu. Leo 11th. Saturn in 5th, or 7th from 11th, and 9th from 9th, plus the 9th is also 5th from the 5th. Rahu and Sun sign ruler, Mercury, ruled by Saturn and in the 10th, house of Saturn.
Elvis Presley, D1: Rahu-ruled Moon. Sun-ruled Mercury, Venus, Rahu, and Medium Coeli. Leo in 10th, opposite 4th occupied by Moon, ruled by Rahu, and Saturn, the sign ruler of his Rahu. Medium Coeli conjunct Mercury in 11th, Sun conjunct Mercury in 2nd, Rahu conjunct Venus in 3rd. Rahu 5th from MC, MC 10th from Sun.
Nancy Spungen, D1: Rahu-ruled Ascendant, Sun, Mercury, Jupiter, and Rahu. Sun-ruled Venus. Leo in the 7th. Sun and Mercury in the 1st, with Sun ruling the 7th and Mercury ruling the 5th and 8th.
Sid Vicious, D1: Rahu-ruled Ascendant and Mars. Sun-ruled Jupiter and Venus. Rahu in the 1st, opposite 7th occupied by Sun as well as Mercury, the sign ruler of his Rahu-ruled Mars. Jupiter, ruled by the Sun, in the 11th. Venus, ruled by the sun, in the 8th house, and 8th away from Rahu.
Jim Morrison, D1: Jupiter in Leo. Rahu-ruled Venus. Rahu in 7th. Sun in 11th, or 5th from Rahu. Mars in 5th, or 11th from Rahu. Venus in 10th, 4th from Cancer Rahu. Sun sign ruler of Mercury in the 12th, or 8th away from 5th, with Rahu 8th from 12th.
OP, D1: Rahu-ruled Ascendant and Medium Coeli. Sun-ruled Sun. Rahu in 2nd. Sun in 8th, or 7th from 2nd, opposite Rahu, and sharing 8th with Ketu and Venus. Leo in 3rd, or 8th from 8th and 2nd from 2nd. Sun's sign ruler, Saturn, in 11th, or 10th from 2nd and 4th from 8th. Rahu's sign ruler, Moon, and Medium Coeli both occupying the 9th, or 8th from 2nd and 2nd from 8th.
From this research I've found having multiple Icarus Narrative placements in a chart can indicate: Dying young. Fame increasing after death. Fame for controversy or standing in opposition to other famous figures. Fame causing or caused by drug addiction. Fame correlated to tragedy, pity, and scandal. Fame for having effortlessly charming personalites. Fame earned or achieved by individuals who were not born into their status or wealth. Fame accrued due to eccentric, but magnetic personalities.
Don't be too upset if you see multiple connections between your Rahu and Sun. Yes, Icarus is a tragic figure, but he also was immortalized in myth and brushed glory like few mortals beyond him. Embrace the light and warmth of your flight even as you seek to maintian balance between reaching new heights and achieving stability.
Hope this was helpful - I may do individual posts for a few of the celebrity charts I mentioned (not counting my own ofc lmao) so if you're interested, let me know.
