Coma Berenices

Berenice's Hair

(LONDON)—Music lovers have the chance to own a strand of history. Auctioneer Sotheby’s is selling a lock of hair from the head of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, resting in a gilt locket. Taking composers’ hair as keepsakes was common in the 18th and 19th centuries. The hair is up for auction Thursday (May 28) with an estimated price of 10,000 pounds to 12,000 pounds ($15,400 to $18,450). http://time.com/3896154/mozart-hair-auction-sotheybys/

The Sotheby’s auction will take place on the eve of the Gibbous Moon a chart for which is shown here. A planet or a configuration is important for a place when it  aspects  the angles. Here the luminaries aspect Neptune which squares the horizon axis and is in quincunx aspect to the MC. Neptune’s connection to classical music is well documented in astrological literature [1]. By association it would refer to a classical music composer like Mozart. And now here is where things become really interesting. On the MC [8li] is the star Diadem, alpha Coma Berenice [9li] – Berenice’s hair [2]!
