There are many astrological profiles based on different
birthtimes for Michael Jackson. The Moon Chart alone however can reveal
many aspects of a native’s life and personality. Moon Chart representing the subjective experience can reveal more of how he viewed his life experience. The Rasi chart would confirm more strongly how events unfolded for him.
Analyzing the chart
from Chandra Lagna we find the Moon occupies the constellation of Purva Bhadrapada, if we go by Michael and his mother that he was born after sunset. Purva Bhadrapada is represented by a two
faced man and can often give a very different persona in public and private
life. It is a very intense impulse and makes one burn with dedication to
their cause. It can indicate a
secret fascination for the darker more mysterious sides of existence. Purva
Bhadrapada represents the pinnacle of Jupiterian influence and when afflicted can give
rise to much mental suffering due to the high idealism inherent in this
constellation. In Aquarius it shows one possesses a philosophical bent of
mind, preoccupied with humanitarian or far out concepts and ideas.
Besides Saturn, some astrologers use Rahu as a natural co
ruler for Aquarius.In many ways Rahu was a very significant force in
Michael Jackson’s life. As a colleague pointed out, he may very well have been born
earlier in the day when Moon occupied Shatabishak and this would lend more weight to the role
Rahu played in his life. He had sold more albums at certain points than
anyone in history and his Fame was like no others. This type of exaggerated
phenomena is usually associated with the nodes. Rahu already an expansive planet is
doubly increased by being conjunct Jupiter (planet of expansion) which is
11th lord (expansion). His 11th lord
(mass sales) occupied a strong position in the most fortunate of houses,
9th house, aspecting his Ascendant Full Moon which is carrying Jupiter's
energy being placed in that nakshatra, and Jupiter and Rahu also aspecting
the 5th house of Fame.
His Moon in Ascendant is aspected by the 7th lord Sun sitting
in the kingly nakshatra of Magha in Leo in its own sign, blazing ever so
brightly conjunct the 5th lord Mercury, which is made even stronger by its
retrograde aspect and it is not suffering from combustion. Mercury and Sun
occupy the super fast acting Ketu nakshatra which wants to give results
quickly as possible and brought him Fame from a very young age. Ketu is
also rendered strong in its own nakshatra conjunct a powerful 3rd
(dancing/music) and 10th (career) lord Mars which is occupying its own sign
in the Sun's nakshatra. 10th lord Mars with Ketu is mutually aspecting
Jupiter Rahu producing tremendous momentum.
He had impeccable control over his bodily movement, Mars and
Ketu indicate it was a strong past life talent in the third house of
mobility.Mars nakshatra Krittika (good for punch and rhythm). He was a
pioneer (Aries). His Sun (karaka for body)is with the very dexterous
Mercury. For dancers the 12th house is important because it represents
feet, and Ascendant lord Saturn ruling 12th house sits in the tenth house
aspected by 3rd lord Mars. Saturn is also placed in Mar's sign in the
constellation of Mercury. Saturn in Jyestha works very hard, but when it
shows its results it can appear magical or indicate some supernatural
forces acting through the vehicle of the body (1st and 12th lord). Jyestha
is bestowed on one, as a result of much past life penance, and will give
one a particular status (Jyestha being the "eldest" or most
respected) that is hard to match.
During Saturn Dasa he achieved sensationalism for his
"Moon walk". Saturn is aspecting his Moon which carries the
illusionary artistry of Jupiter in Chitra
being in Jupiter's nakshatra. He did have fun with his ghoulish
image (a very Purvabhadrapada theme), which he expressed in his
"Thriller"video, perhaps one of his most remembered portrayals.
Saturn's strength in the chart had to also act out in negative
ways because Saturn occupies its enemy sign aspected by enemy planet Mars
and Scorpio is a complex sign emotionally and psychologically. Saturn
matures in a person's life at 35 years of age, so once Saturn matured it
was ready to cloud his 10th house; and his reputation as he got older
suffered controversies and attacks. It was in 1993, his 35th year that he
was accused of child abuse.
The nature of Jyestha (Saturn's constellation) is that it
inclines one to teeter between
extremes of penance/discipline versus indulgence . He was
disciplined on many levels, although he developed an addiction to medically
prescribed drugs { 2nd lord with Rahu in Venusian sign with Venus in 6th
house of medical treatment }.
Aquarius gave him an unusual persona and sacrificing spirit.
He was seen many times to be eccentric, reclusive and troubled. These
qualities are reflected in his 6th lord moon occupying Purvabhadrapada and the nature of Scorpio
where his Ascendant and 12th lord Saturn sits. His Moon, a soft, feminine,
gentle energy is also a caring and helpful impulse in his chart which also
shined through his personality. His
speech was always very sweet, which could be attributed to the strong Venusian
placement of his 2nd lord with diplomatic Rahu. It helped his poetic
expression in singing and songwriting, along with powerful Mercury (speech,
writing) and a powerful third house (singing, writing).
He had an obsessive need to remodel his face and underwent
extensive surgery to achieve his ideal beauty. Rahu being an expansive
insatiable desire force conjunct expansive Jupiter ruling 2nd house of the face
and strong 11th desire house gives rise to the impulse to create
and create (chitra trait). Libra is very idealistic and seeks perfection
and harmony of form. Libra falls in the 9th house of spirituality, so it
indicates desire to attain an idealized spiritual form that others could
also idealize. Jupiter occupies an enemy sign Libra, and Libra's lord Venus
(planet of beauty) sits in the deceptive constellation of Ashlesha in the
6th house of struggles producing dissatisfaction. Benefics in 6th house
often give rise to problems. Chitra's lord Mars directly opposes Rahu and
Jupiter and occupies the constellation of the knife Krittika, and is
conjunct Ketu in Aswini in early degree, an impulse that constantly tries
to rejuvenate but is reckless.
Jyestha, the nakshatra of his Ascendant lord Saturn is a very
protective nakshatra and fiercely wants to protect others, which was a
responsibility he took seriously, in regards to the masses (Saturn
aspecting 4th house), himself (Saturn aspecting Ascendant), his reputation
(Saturn in 10th), his privacy (Saturn aspecting 8th lord), and those whom
he really loved (Saturn aspecting Sun and Mercury in the 7th house)
including children (Mercury being 5th lord).
Saturn occupies Mercury's nakshatra pushing his Saturn into
the limelight, but also raising intrigue and trouble (Scorpio) through his
connection with young boys (5th and 8th lord Mercury with 7th lord Sun).
Mercury and Sun are reflecting the young innocent energy of Ketu being in Ketu's nakshatra.Ketu is also placed with
youthful male planet Mars.
The notoriety regarding sexual misconduct overshadowed his
life and career. Mercury is the 8th lord (hidden actions) and 5th lord
(children) with the Sun, 7th lord (intimate relations) and aspected by
Saturn, 12th lord and 6th lord Moon . So the 1st, 5th, 6th,7th, 8th &
12th are strongly connected. The dusthana influence can impact negatively.
He seemed reticent about sexuality with Saturn in the complex
Scorpio.Venus (natural karaka for love) is in the 6th house of struggle. It
can be said his motives towards children were very pure because his Ketu,
the dispositor of Sun 7th lord conjunct Mercury 5th lord ( relationship
with chidren) are in Aswini, the most pure and innocent of nakshatras. His
noble ideals regarding children (Jupiter, karaka for children) were tainted
though by Rahu as was his 5th house.
Rahu and Jupiter gave him great focus, delight and obssession
with childish pasttimes, and was the influence which inspired him to build
his wonderland mansion, these architectural planets aspecting natural
karaka for property Mars.
His legal controversies with children incurred alot of
expenditure. Rahu the planet of greed, is disturbing Jupiter (natural
karaka for children and legal matters) and second lord (money).His 12th
lord is aspecting his 5th (children) and 8th (scandal) lord, showing
expenditures thereby and his 12th lord also aspects his 6th lord
(legalities) which is mutually aspecting with the 5th lord (involving
children). Saturn in Jyestha in 10th representing authority, shows the
problems with authority as well as 8th lord afflicting the Sun (authority).
His adoption of children is indicated by 6th lord (adoption)
aspecting 5th lord and his jupiter natural karaka for children conjunct
rahu in 9th house indicating new
lessons in fatherhood which was quite an obssessive focus.
He had two very short lived marriages. His Sun and Mercury in
7th aspected by Saturn 12th lord and 6th lord cannot sustain married life,
although it can give high profile partners. That Sun and Mercury occupy the
premature Ketu ruled nakshatras, indicate impulsive marriage and also their
short longevity. Divorce is also due to 8th lord being conjunct Sun.
Marriage 7th lord conjunct 5th lord children, tied these two affairs of
life together.
His younger sister shared in quite a large degree of fame and
emulated his musical and dance style as noted by 10th lord Mars placement
in the third house (Mars being natural karaka for siblings). His childhood
fame, associated with his elder siblings and father, is noted by his
Jupiter (11th lord of brothers, 2nd lord of family) with Rahu in the 9th
house (Father) aspecting his Moon (early childhood) in Ascendant (debut)
and his Mercury (5th lord) being with Sun (Father) in Ketu's fast acting
degree and constellation also aspecting Moon in Ascendant.
He felt enmity towards his father. His 9th lord (father) Venus
is in his 6th house (enmity), and his Sun (father) is with his 8th lord
(violence) aspected by 12th lord Saturn and 6th lord Moon. Presence of
Father's love was there to an extent, but also an intense driving ambition
to achieve fame and fortune (Sun conjunct 5th lord dispositored by Ketu
conjunct Mars in 3rd, 11th lord and Rahu in 9th).
Michael Jackson's sudden demise at age 50 shocked the world.
Aquarius Ascendants are slightly fragile , because Saturn rules both the
1st and 12th house. Saturn (natural karaka for longevity) is getting harmed
by Mars inimical influence, and 6th lord Moon in 1st aspected by 8th lord
and 12th lord indicates constant health struggles.His death was sudden and
the premature nature of his longevity has alot to do with Ketu in his chart
which tended to give premature sudden results. Ketu is a natural karaka for death and the
nakshatra lord of his Mercury (8th lord).
He suffered from vitiligo which caused a whitening of his skin. He had
to apply some effort to whiten his skin further to maintain appearance.
His 6th lord Moon (ruling white colour) is in his Ascendant aspecting
Mercury (skin), and Venus (white colour) is in his 6th house in Mercury's nakshatra. Venus also carries
the energy of the artificial planet Rahu, also known to cause unusual
ailments. He suffered from back problems which is a Saturn related problem,
Saturn in the 10th house aspected by 3rd lord Mars. The vulnerability of
his heart is evidenced by 4th lord in 6th, and 8th lord conjunct Sun
(heart) aspected by 6th and 12th lords, as well as Saturn 12th lord aspecting
4th house.
Death by heartattack can be seen with 8th lord (death)
conjunct Sun (heart) in a fiery sign, occupying the constellation of fiery
Ketu (natural significator of endings) which is placed in the fiery sign
Aries with a powerful acting Mars. His death was related to a needle (Ketu
with Mars in Krittika) putting poisons in his body (aspecting 2nd lord of
nourishment Jupiter conjunct Rahu).
His legacy (8th house) , both his creative work and his
controversies, 5th and 8th lord Mercury, are still dazzling the spotlight
because of Mercury's conjunction with the Sun. His memory in the public’s mind is
certain to keep rejuvenating in powerful bursts, Ketu, one of the karakas
for 8th being in Aswini.
In determining his correct Ascendant one would need to take certain points into consideration.
His third house should have the presence of feminine influences to indicate the immense fame
for a younger sister. He lived in a great deal of fantasy and spent much money on charity which
denotes some strong 12th house planets. His worldly reputation was not so much Scorpio as seen
from the Moon Chart but as the unequalled "King of Pop" indicating more of a Leo influence on his
10th house. He wanted to create a futuristic empire in his personal environment which gives
alot of emphasis to the 4th house.
