Michael Jackson's chart and the day of death

In 2008 I wrote about the chart of Michael Jackson and mentioned that 23:55 was my favorite hour of birth for the pop star. Now it's 7 years later. Meanwhile I learned about Pholus. Today I noticed the alternative data on Astrodatabank (19:33) coming from Charkrapani Ullal, a Vedic astrologer. Both hours of birth (23:55 and 19:33) show the pattern of artistic talent. Also, the Pisces Moon and Saturn have important positions, either angular or elevated, in both natal charts. While the 19:33 chart has an MC in aspect with Moon, Venus and Neptune, the 23:55 has Moon, Venus and Neptune connected with minor aspects and Venus opposition MC.  Moon is in Pisces. I'll tell you why I think that 19:33 is the right hour. It is because of Pholus on the day of death.

The Ascendant for 19:33 hours is 10:07 Pisces. On the day of his death we see relevant transits and progressions:
1.transit Pholus (symbol of the point of no return) was 10:05 Sagittarius Retrograde. That is an exact square with the Ascendant.
2. midpoint Sun/Moon at 10:31 Sagittarius in an almost exact conjunction with transit Pholus for a turning point in motivations.
3.  the Progressed Midheaven had recently been inconjunct the natal Sun. This mirrors an unhealthy status.
4. the Progressed Sun had been sesquisquare the Ascendant for a frustrating unhealthy situation.
5. transit Chiron was trine progressed Sun to show that healing was needed.
6. the progressed chart has Pholus close to Midheaven.
7. progressed Jupiter ruler 8 at 8Sc34 is almost square natal Pholus
8. transit Lillith semisextile Saturn

Here is the chart of 19:33 with the transits and progressions of the day of death, June 25, 2008

Still, I think it is rather amazing that there is no hard indication for danger of death, and that Pholus keeps coming back 4 times. Pholus is also the symbol of venom and shooting your own feet. That seems to be valid, even if your feet are dancing feet and even if you can dance the Moon Walk.

Chart of King Felipe

Today, with transit Saturn square his progressed Ascendant and close to his natal Descendant, Prince Felipe de Borbon turned into a King. There was no party, there were no festivities, it was very cool and official. Saturn is the symbol of duties, management, status and ambition. Saturn is also the symbol of criticism and that is what the Spanish royals got abundantly last year. Saturn rules Felipe's Midheaven in Capricorn. It is up to Felipe now. His father (see the post on his difficult year) quit the job with transit Saturn inconjunct  progressed Midheaven, the same aspect that his daughter Cristina had, when she fell off her pedestal.

What kind of a 'ruler' will Felipe be? There is Neptune, rising before the Sun, for an idealistic or spiritual view of life. There is the elevated Moon in Aquarius, square the Taurus Ascendant, for a certain distance and need for independency and change, difficult given his circumstances. However, he married the woman he wanted.
To do the job there are Sun sextile Saturn for managing to be in charge and Sun/Moon conjunct Vesta for dedication. Jupiter/Pluto semi square MC is an indication for success.

Felipe will have a hard time to gain back the lost popularity of the Spanish royal family, where the problems started in 2010 with rather Plutonic aspects. Though he seems to be equipped to do the job as a real manager and with a certain belief, his chart is so much different from the chart of Dutch King Willem Alexander  (prominent Saturn and dito Sun binovile the elevated Jupiter) or the Belgian King Philip (prominent Sun and Saturn, too) that I wonder about the kind of king that he will be. Quaoar square Midheaven in the natal chart relates 'creating new worlds and realities' to his position and career.  The Sun and Moon in Aquarius tells me that he will have his own unique way to 'do that'. He starts the job at a moment that both the Spanish football team (WC2014) and his father Juan Carlos left the public scene, in the middle of an economic crisis and scandal in the family. He won't have an easy start and Saturn's transits confirm this. But in the progressed chart the Sun trine Neptune and inconjunct Jupiter offer a more positive view to the near future. Jupiter-Neptune together stimulates having fans and followers and also helps a person to keep believing and hoping. We'll see.

Here is the chart, with transits and progressions for today:

The MC inconjunct aspect

Inconjunctions with the MC (Midheaven) have a special effect on the status, the condition, the career or the 'name and fame'. Although this doesn't HAVE to be in a disruptive way, the lack of balance creates a certain danger.
The inconjunct of Progressed Midheaven mirrors an unbalancing development in the career or in the position in the world.
When it is an inconjunct by transit, the inconjunct shows what happened to influence the position in the world.

I have a number of examples of this in Astropost.blogspot.com (see the links in the article on Astromarkt.net) illustrating the reflection of inconjuncts with MC. Of course all these examples are strictly related to the individual  of the example. Here I like to mention some more personal experiences.

a. I had the inconjunct with Progressed Midheaven and Pluto in a very stressed situation.

b. I had the inconjunct with Progressed Midheaven and Uranus in 2003. Two exciting things happened. I had a disturbing nightly anonymous nasty phone call of a stranger who apparently had access to my medical files. And I considered starting a website, but (…inconjunct) I didn't know how.

c. Later my brother offered to help me with the implementation of the very first pages of the first version of my site Astromarkt.net and gave me a date for it 6 weeks before the start with Progressed MC inconjunct Uranus, soon after T Uranus conjunct Jupiter and T Saturn inconjunct my Progressed Midheaven.  As a naive starter I forgot not to use my name. Loss of status was included!:)  (In my country they don't take you seriously anymore when you 'believe' in astrology)

d. On May 17, 2013, Mars was inconjunct my Sun and Midheaven. It was the day after my arrival in Rhodes and I slept almost all of that day (still recovering of flu and with  heavy pain in my back). Inconjunct Mars is an energy drain.

That said, I like to redirect you to the full article on Astromarkt.net  Just follow this link:

The astrology of Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI

They became king and queen on May 10, 1774. They lived live in comfort and luxury, disregarding the signs of time. They died young, executed after revolution. The King's Saturn inconjunct Midheaven was accompanied by her Sun inconjunct his Midheaven. Together they lost it all, including their lives. Here is the story of Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI.

Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI died young because of of murder after revolution. Their history is a sad history. If she hadn't married him, she wouldn't have died so young. But she also wouldn't have had the luxury life that she had until she was 36. She was married but had her own house and a Swedish lover. The marriage was a political marriage, but the couple didn't exactly dislike each other. 

Here is the chart of Louis 16. The transits
are the position on the day of birth of his wife (noon)

This is Marie Antoinette's chart. Transits are the positions on Louis' birthday at 12 uur

MATCHES

• Her Sun in Scorpio didn't match his in Leo. They had separate lives.

• His Moon is in Scorpio, hers in Libra. It helped to live separate lives, because they had a different education and other needs and habits. His Moon is close to her Sun. It is a classical marriage Sun-Moon aspect, however, the fact that it is HIS Moon means that she draws more attention.

• Mercury square Mercury: not matching opinions, difficulties in communications (perhaps because of the language?)

• Venus in Libra and her Venus in Scorpio is no math. They hardly had the same taste or preferences. 

• Mars in Virgo matched with her Mars in Cancer. So they did what they had to to and produced children, eventually.

SYNASTRY

• His Uranus trine her Sun: this offers her freedom and independence.  He introduced her into his life style and even though the relationship 'flashes', the two get along well as if they were friends.

• Her Sun inconjunct his MC: her lifestyle made his position unstable.

• Her Pluto is square his Ascendant: he must have felt a bit intimidated by her

• Her Venus sextile his Saturn is good for the continuation of marriage.

• His Juno conjunct her Moon could point at being promised to him as a young girl.

• His Venus conjunct her Jupiter (good aspect for having a lot of fun)

RELATIONS IN THEIR NATAL CHARTS
The king has a certain artistic talent or desire (Moon square and Venus sextile Neptune). The Moon sextile Saturn likes to be alone sometimes. If it hadn't been for convention, maybe he would have divorced in our days. Her wide opposition between Mars and Saturn , in combination iwth the trine of Uranus with Sun and Venus show up that she could have divorced in our days, too, as soon as she didn't have the freedom that she desired. He gave her her freedom.The Sun trine Uranus in her natal chart is mirrored by the Sun-Uranus aspect in synastry.
But how about Mars-Saturn? She survived her husband, but only for nine months. 

COMPOSITE CHART

Neptunus is on the Ascendant of the composite chart. That makes the relationship a bit 'confusing'  of 'difuse'. They may have cheated on each other. As they were a royal couple, however, there is another explanation for Neptune here. As you may know, Netpune's transfer from Aquarius to Pisces went along with revolutions and new ideologies. Their names (Ascendant) are connected to the French Revolution, forever and ever. 

There is more in the composite chart that I leave up to you to discover. I only want to mention that Jupiter is in the second house of money and inconjunct Midheaven. What they spent, cost them their heads. 

LOUIS XVI 

When the king was decapitated Saturn was exactly square Saturn in is progressed chart. As he was born with Saturn inconjunct Midheaven, losing a position was already an issue. It is hard to be in charge and be blamed for all that went wrong (that is one thing) and because of mistakes he really lost his status. That is Saturn inconjunct MC! 

MARIE-ANTOINETTE

When her husband was killed on January 21, 1793 transit Saturn was quindecile (165 degens) her natal Sun. That is a strong sing of depression. The progressed Ascendant inconjunct progressed Midheaven with progressed Sun inconjuncct IC reflected löss and emotions because of it.

On the final day of the French queen transit Chiron was trine her progressed Midheaven with transit URanus square her progressed Mercury. Transit Saturn was quindecile progressed Mercury. Mercury-Saturn says goodbye...
As Transit Jupiter was trine the progressed Ascendant, she may have been grateful. 

PS

In her natal you see  Mars inconjunct Eris, a clue for loss through a battle or struggle, like in the chart of Russian prisoner Khodorkovsky. http://astropost.blogspot.com/2011/01/mars-and-eris.html

Saturn inconjunct Midheaven and lost status

In Februari 2013 I tweeted about the chart of Princess Cristina (daughter of King Juan Carlos) when she had 3 transits of Saturn inconjunct Midheaven, Jupiter and Ceres and her name was mentioned related to the royal fraud case in Spain. This aspect, Saturn inconjunct Midheaven, is now visible in the chart of someone I know. She also has transit Neptune on the Descendant. Again, Saturn inconjunct Midheaven proofs to be a very hard aspect.

What happened is that due to necessary repairs of the foundation of her house, she had to borrow tens of thousands and she couldn't afford it. The mortgage was already more than the (ever and ever lower) value of her house. Now she is forced to sell and bankrupt. For the next three years she will have to live on a minimum for food with her husband and children. Being a stay-at-home mother will be almost impossible, but there is also no job for her. That is symbolized by her progressed Midheaven inconjunct natal Saturn.

A progressed aspect is the symbol of a development in a certain direction. The inconjunct is the symbol of loss and lack of balance. Inconjuncts are related to the 6th and 8th house. In certain circumstances and with more transits and progressions pointing at the situation, the inconjunction mirrors illnesses, grieve and troubles. I'd say that this is an example of longer lasting trouble. Transit Neptune opposition Ascendant describes the present, the uncertain situation. Progressed MC inconjunct Saturn shows the lost status in the longer term.

Many of us are in the same bad situation now that the crisis continues. Every hard aspect is sounding harder in bad times. I wonder if any fortunate aspect is sounding like a whisper these days. It takes a lot of help from 'the stars' to come to success now.

Princess Cristina and her husband are involved in a scandal. She still is a princess, and she didn't loose her wealth and position up to now. But her public image (MC) was damaged and so was that of her parents (MC). She also faces charges: http://edition.cnn.com/2013/04/03/world/europe/spain-royal-corruption (And watch transit Pholus, indication of the turning point in life).

HOW ABOUT YOU?
Not everybody will have Progressed MC inconjunct Saturn one day. (I will, when I am 72!:( The aging process?)

Everybody once and a while has transit Saturn inconjunct Midheaven. I had this in August 2004. I will have to go back in time to find out what happened in that month. The fact that I don't remember it, means that it didn't damage me in the longer term. Why not?

RESONATING THE NATAL CHART
Cristina de Borbon's Saturn is square Sun and Midheaven in the natal chart. The person that I know has Sun semi sesquisquare Saturn and Saturn is opposition Midheaven. My Saturn doesn't make a minor or major aspect with Sun and neither with Midheaven. Perhaps the resonation of the natal aspect make the transits and progressions sound louder.

Here is the chart of Princess Cristina with the transits and progressions of February 16, 2013.

Right now transit Saturn is square her Progressed Sun:
