MUMBAI
-- Renowned Hindustani classical vocalist Kishori Amonkar passed away in the
wee hours of Tuesday after a brief illness. She passed away at her home in
central Mumbai. She was 84 years old. Born on 10 April 1932 here, Amonkar was
recognised as one of the foremost singers in the Hindustani tradition and as an
innovative exponent of the Jaipur gharana. A gharana is a community of
musicians sharing a distinctive musical style. April 4 https://goo.gl/MT2KcZ
In mundane astrology, the movement of planets across the 0
Aries point is a very important event. Venus is retrograding out of Aries and
into Pisces. As it does so Venus will
begin a square to Saturn that will be in effect for the rest of April as Venus
stations and slowly turns direct again while Saturn stations retrograde. Shown
here is the chart for Venus at 0 Aries drawn for Bombay. Notice that at this
place Venus-Saturn forms a T-square with the Moon on the angles in Cancer. With
Venus’ connection to music and Saturn’s rulership of tradition , Venus-Saturn here
refers to classical music and with Moon a female singer while Cancer is a sign
that astrologers associate with ethnic and folk traditions so that we have clear indication of a female classical
singer. Finally we note that Venus on the Ascendant is conjunct the asteroid
Lacrimosa which Marth Wescott links to music as well as death.
A look at the primary transits in Amonkar’s horoscope (10
April 1932 ) completes the picture. Amonkar died at her Uranus return just a
week before her 85th birthday. Her Sun in Aries is conjunct Uranus square
Pluto and the asteroid Lacrimosa. Her Uranus return was activating this
combination.
ORPHEUS or LACRIMOSA:
Sad, sweet or haunting music, lyrics or poetry; dirges; sense of mourning and
loss; grief (for what you don't have—what has gone out of your life-- “might have been” or what was); contact with
death.
