Legendary singer David Bowie has died at the age of
69 after battling cancer in secret for 18 months. The star, who released a new
album last week, was known as the creator of glam rock and was one of the most
successful artists of the 20th century. During his illness, which was not made
public until his death yesterday, he continued to record and last week he
appeared in a haunting video which contained the lyrics 'I'm in heaven'.
Following Bowie's death a flood of celebrities and
other public figures such as politicians and even the Archbishop of Canterbury
rushed to pay tribute to the impact he had on the cultural landscape of his
era. Jan. 10 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3393470/David-Bowie-dies-18-month-battle-cancer.html
The
current New Moon [19cp] is conjunct the star Sheliak [19cp] of Lyra. Lyra, harp of the angels, is often found to be
prominent in the charts of musicians and singers. David Bowie was born 8
January [1] so that his natal Sun[17cp] is also conjunct Lyra. His solar return just
two days ago has triggered the Uranus-Pluto square acting on his natal Sun/Mars.
Among other things, Uranus-Pluto rules death and endings.
As Mercury
stationed retrograde on January 5, it squared Mars. A chart for the exact
square aspect at London has it
straddling the horizon axis making it significant for the place. (Interestingly
it also squares Bowie’s radix Ascendant-Descendant axis). Mars is conjunct the asteroid Handley (cancer)
while the asteroids Orpheus , Kronos and
Hippokrates conjoin Mercury. In her January newsletter [2] published sometime back, Martha Wescott
interprets the combination as follows:
In 03-04 Aquarius, we find the medical
asteroid Hippokrates with Orpheus and Kron (which is an asteroid you interpret
just like the TNP, Kronos.) Using simple key words, Hippokrates brings up a
medical concern. Orpheus speaks of life-threatening or dying. Kron inserts a
specialist or famous person. Using just these three asteroids, you know that
someone could mention a medical specialist, an illness that may be terminal or
life threatening, and that these things are shown through (Kron) a father, a government
official or a famous person. Now, Orpheus is also music, isn't it? And an
Orpheus-Kron would be a famous or infamous singer or musician.
