Michael Jackson: Natal Chart: Aug 29, 1958, 11:53 pm Gary, Indiana
Cardiac Arrest, June 25, 2009, 2:26 pm Los Angeles
Medics pronounced time of death (apparently 911 call was made shortly after noon; Michael was not breathing.)
The astrology:
Transiting Mercury (importer) in Gemini (mix) in MJ’s 12th house (drugs), and about to cross the Ascendant (the event);
:T Mercury in square Saturn in Virgo (a mistake) in his 4th house (house of endings; crisis at home; doctor at fault?)
(The cause? Likely a mix of prescriptions combined with ongoing over the top stress & depression – his health had already been reported to be compromised.)
This Mercury square Saturn (Ceres too) was particularly lethal as it squared his 10th house natal Moon in Capricorn (relates to the great/building pressure re the upcoming concert tour)
Transiting Mercury was square his natal Ceres in Virgo;
(crisis; abuse of ingested substances)
Transiting Ceres/Saturn formed conjunction to his natal Ceres (again ingestion.)
(Ceres: a battle with the dark forces, abduction by shadow influences;
can signify a death signature. Ceres is transformative, has a connotation like Pluto)
Saturn is the planet of reaching limits; pushing boundaries, of consequences and of endings; (symbolic of fate and death)
Saturn (the physical body) in Virgo – the already weak system gave out.
The transit position of Saturn forms an exact square to his Ascendant/Descendent angles. (were there demands placed and orders that needed to be obeyed?; strong arming/pleading; this aspect might have put the doctor in a compromised, damned if you do, damned if you don’t position)
Cardiac arrest is seen by the transit of the moon which has just surpassed natal Uranus in Leo (leo – heart; Uranus –sudden interruption = cardiac arrest) and was in an exact opposition to Chiron in Aquarius
(Chiron often is found to be prominent as a death indicator.)
Chiron: the maverick, wounded one, the ostracized one, the lonely one, special one;
Chiron in Aquarius – a shock to the public; an accidental overdose.
The triple alignment of Jupiter, Neptune and Chiron transiting his natal 10th, formed an opposition to his natal Pallas and Mercury retrograde. (Chiron is exact on these two planets)
The transiting moon (timing device) had also surpassed an exact square to Mars in Taurus (separation impulse, accident, sudden death) and was exact in square to Venus in Taurus (survival planet in crisis – squared by Ceres/Saturn – both indicative of death and endings.)
The transiting north node and the progressed moon at 1 Aquarius have recently formed a conjunction. It was reported that he was having health issues, and this can be verified by the pressurized transit of Saturn in square to his Ascendant/Descendant over this past month particularly. There are many other indicators.
All this under the super new moon high tide energizer cycle, which has just begun (June 22, 2009). The super new moon is a catalyst for the upcoming lunar eclipse on July 7. (Eclipses can energize prior to or after the actual event.) The July 7 lunar eclipse falls in MJ’s 8th house of death (the eclipse Sun is in the 2nd house). Note the eclipse Uranus position, which is in his 10th house, opposing Juno and activating his 11th house cusp (theme of breaking a contract; liberation from the physical/leaving the body/the physical home/housing.)
Mars and Venus (both in Taurus, the survival sign) are highly activated and will continue to be over this next week. The intensity will continue from now through to the Lunar Eclipse.
For some, the current transits can bring wonderful advances and breakthroughs, for others, sudden loss, sudden switching of gears/redirection or the shock of a significant severing or ending. The next three new moons are super moons so we can expect an intense season ahead.
