Solomon Burke and Mars-Saturn

Solomon Burke died and it was with transit Saturn square progressed Mars. Mars-Saturn combinations refer to death (blocked energy). There was also Pholus inconjunct progressed Venus (turning point in preferences, with a lost involved) and I wonder if I should see Venus for venes (blood vessels), too. As the hour of birth is a mystery, there is not much more to add, except that the pattern of artistic talent included Venus in Taurus conjunct Uranus (for sense of rythm). Jupiter doesn't make major aspects in sign or orb 5 degrees. That means that Jupiter is 'calling'. Jupiter is the symbol of the international. He died at Schiphol Airport.

Here is the chart of the day of birth of Burke, with transits and progressions (and because of the unknown time of birth there is no Ascendant or MC and the Moondegree is not certain). This chart shows that  transit Saturn in the 9th degree of Libra is in tight aspect with progressed Mars.


Progressions (the progressed chart) are found like this: check any ephemeris and calculate 1 day for 1 year. If you were born on March 1 and you are 20 years old, you use the positions of March 21 for the progressed chart. There is a lot of information in the bookstore and on the internet about (secondary) progressions. An easy way to find your progressed chart is to use Astro.com's free chart service.
