MICHAEL JACKSON IS DEAD, pop music has lost its king…
On June 25 at 12:26 pm, local time, according to his relatives, Michael Jackson had a heart attack and died. The news shocked the world because, even if one is not sensible to his music, this artist has marked a whole generation, even two generations of people by his talent, his creativity, his personality and his animated lifestyle. In homage to his work and his many personal problems, to take part in my simple way in morning his sudden departure, I would like to try to explain what happened by the analysis of his birth chart, his Solar Return chart and the chart of the moment of his death…
The sign Leo is commonly associated with the cardiovascular function. In his topic, Michael had Mercury, Venus and Uranus (planets also indicative of his talent, creativity and originality). Venus and Uranus are conjunct in Leo, square Mars in Taurus and opposed to Chiron in Aquarius. Chiron plays a major part from a health point of view, because it represents latent pathologies. Chiron in Aquarius is dominated by Uranus which represents this sign. That gives a greater force to the opposition with this planet and accentuates the risks of disturbances in connection with the sign Leo in which Uranus stood at birth…
Chiron takes approximately 51 years to make a complete circle around the zodiac and return to its initial position at birth. Around the age of fifty comes a critical time. It is often then that health disorders become real problems, often due to years of a particular lifestyle adopted since childhood or to the awakening of sometimes hereditary dormant pathologies. Michael Jackson was going to celebrate his fifty first birthday in only two months, on August 28… He was therefore unknowingly affected by the return of Chiron…
The square from Mars in Taurus is significant of the violence and quick arising of the problems associated with Michael’s health. Taurus is associated with food and Mars in Taurus, also stands in House 8 (death) indicating that the probable cause of the heat attack is linked to something Michael ate or swallowed (food, medicine or drugs). The fact is that the configuration forming a red triangle in his birth chart reproduced above acts like a time-bomb that was only waiting for the right occasion to explode…
The chart above shows the positions of the astrological elements at the time of Michael’s death. Take note of the position of Chiron in Aquarius and of its return onto the position at birth. However, together with Chiron, are also Jupiter and Neptune, which greatly enhance the importance of this cosmic cycle…
On that fateful day, the Moon (is it a coincidence?) was transiting in Leo, exactly on the Venus/Uranus conjunction described above. The Moon often acts as a detonator to events that are motivated by slower transits. Its presence in Leo has made the cardiovascular more hazardous than ever…
Where was Venus at the time? It was in Taurus, forming a square aspect with its initial position in Leo, and also one with Chiron of course. That may be another coincidence, but here is another one: Mars on that day was also in Taurus, only a few degrees away from its initial position in Michael’s birth chart, therefore reinforcing the original square aspect with the Venus/Uranus conjunction in Leo opposite Chiron in Aquarius…
Last but not least, and that will certainly please astrology lovers, the ascendant of the day, according to the declared moment of the heart attack by Michael’s brother, was in Virgo, the zodiac sign of the departed singer! Dragging the ascendant back near the position of the Sun in his birth chart, at 5° in Virgo, would indicate that the real time of Michael’s heart condition could have been as early as about 10:45 am…
Michael’s last Solar Return Chart above was worked out for Los Angeles, where he died. It shows a three-planet conjunction on and near the cusp of House 12. This usually indicates a year marked by many problems involving health and leading to hospitalization, surgery and sudden crises. Mercury, Venus and Mars are concerned. They are opposed to Uranus (showing the unexpected aspect of the problem) and square Pluto (indicator of death).
The progression of the ascendant around the chart, a means to determine the dates of particular events, June 25 brings it near the South Lunar Node. And was the South Lunar Node? Well, in Leo of course, therefore opposite Uranus and the conjunction formed with Jupiter and Neptune explained above…
If I had been Michael Jackson’s astrologer, I would have strongly advised him from the start of his last solar return on August 28, 2008, to take great care of his health, to be vigilant and extremely cautious with food, medicine and other drugs of any kind. Others factors intervene, because House 12 is associated with “plots” and other hidden actions that may have occurred behind the singer’s back… It may lead the reflection to possible crime. Why not? After all, this man was sitting on a huge fortune and his relationship with family members and other people revolving around his daily life must have attracted envy and jealousy. Besides, despite his apparent softness and fragility, I’m sure he was quite difficult to live with, very authoritative and perhaps violent at times. However, this black man who became white, this extraterrestrial of the show business leaves a weird feeling behind, made up of astonishment and relief, knowing that finally all his problems and inner turmoil are now over.
Rest in peace Michael…
