Buddy Holly was one of the earliest pop idols and born
on September 7, 1936. He died, too young, in an air crash. This blog is about his chart, transits and progressions.
MARS+URANUS: Hurry
There are
indications for possible accidents in the natal chart. Transits resonated those
indications on his final day, when he was in a hurry, on tour, and decided to
take a plane instead of a (slow and old) bus.
Mars and Uranus are the combination of the
'short fuse' and accelerates speed. In the chart of Buddy Holly, Mars and
Uranus are prominent. Here is the chart (transits and progressions for the day of his death):
1. Mars
Mars rises before his Sun, is in the 8th house and
rules the 4th house.
Mars is inconjunct Saturn (ruler 1)
2. Uranus is 'calling' (not making major aspects in
sign or orb 5 degrees).
Uranus is square Mars/Pluto.
The importance of Mars and Uranus qualifies the importance of being in a hurry.
MARS-SATURN
A besides about Mars-Saturn: I recently 'survived' transit Saturn inconjunct Progressed Mars. My Mars is
'calling' (my progressed Mars is not). It have been days of a tetanus injection
and antibiotics because of infection, and I have seen the doctor more than
once, but I didn't die (obviously:). More important: nobody in my family died.
Mars and Saturn are trine in my chart (out of sign). They are not related to
the 4th or 8th house.
I quote Art&Astrology (blog about the talent in the chart):
On the day of his death, transit Saturn was sesquisquare his Mars (frustrating end of energy) and at the moment of the crash transit Uranus was 75 degrees from his midheaven (a shock), with transit Neptune septile Sun and biquintile Moon (perhaps unconsciousness). These are not uncommon aspects. But in HIS chart Mars happened to be an important symbol of death, being activated too soon.
DEATH
Here above is the
chart of Buddy Holly, with transits and progressions for the final day. There
are a number of tight aspects. Some are an indication of what happened. We see Mars-Saturn (dead end), 8th house (life and death) and 4th house.
Big events take at leats 3 or more important transits and progressions. Accidents are most often complicated and caused by more than 1 simple mistake or failure. As you see, it takes a lot of transits and progressions to mark the end of the life of a 22 year old artist...And there are at least 4 strong indications of danger. The 3 inconjunctions complete the picture of loss. Here is the list.
- Transit Neptune is semi sextile Progressed Sun and 15 degrees from Progressed Midheaven. In the natal chart Neptune is in the 8th house of life and death and Neptune is conjunct Sun (also in the 8th house
- Transit Chiron is square Progressed Midheaven
- Transit Saturn is within 1 degree orb inconjunct Progressed Ascendant and transit Pluto is inconjunct Ascendant (orb 17 minutes). The midpoint of Saturn and Pluto is square Progressed Ascendant
- Transit Jupiter is inconjunct IC (cusp 4th house). Jupiter rules the 12th house of undoing and is the symbol of traveling. In the natal chart Jupiter is semi square Midheaven.
- Transit Uranus is 75 degrees from natal Midheaven. Uranus is in the 4th house (natal)
- Progressed Sun is semi square Progressed Midheaven. Sun rules the 8th house. In the natal chart Sun is semi square Midheaven
- Transit Pluto is on the midpoint Mars/Saturn and in the 8th house.
- And last but not least:Transit Saturn is sesquisquare natal Mars (in the 8th house). Mars is inconjunct Saturn in the natal chart
PHOLUS
One more
thing: Pholus is on the Ascendant in the natal chart and Pholus is novile the
Midheaven. The midpoint AC/MC is semi square Pholus. Pholus is the symbol of
the turning point. He had a turbulent and short life. But he is also a legend. On Astromarkt I wrote about AC/MC with Pholus:
- AC/MC with Pholus
The importance of polls, looking back and retrospective results
He had a contract in 1956
(transit Neptune conjunct Midheaven and Progressed Sun soon conjunct Venus,
progressed Midheaven square Mars, Progressed Ascendant inconjunct Mars and
almost opposition Uranus). The prominent Mars and Uranus were 'hit', just like
when he died on tour in 1959. Here is the chart, transits and progressions of Buddy Holly for January 1956.
