Pisces Musicians: George Harrison

by  • 

Today’s musician: George Harrison, the most sensitive Beatle, the one who found God and made a garden — for more on his astrology, click here. He was born either on February 24 or 25, give or take half an hour. But the 24th gives him a Rising Moon. Harrison’s only planet in Pisces is his Sun. What’s remarkable about his chart is the beautiful patterns of the aspects between the planets. As the youngest Beatle, Harrison didn’t get a chance to flex his songwriting muscle as much as he might have done. But when he did, he made this.

Pisces Musicians: Handel

by  • 

Imagine a time when the Thames was the busiest highway in London, and the king’s barge a most glorious water-borne rolls-royce of golden curlicues. What could be a lovelier accompaniment to a balmy summer evening bobbing along the river than music wafting across the water. King George I commissioned the most fashionable composer in London, George Friedrich Handel, to write just such a piece. The Water Music premiered on July 7, 1717 at around 8pm. It was a hit. The king asked for the suites to be played repeatedly on the trip from Whitehall to Chelsea and back again. Handel is, of course, much […]

Pisces Musicians: James Blunt

by  • 

English singer-songwriter James Blunt must have been eating Neptune crackers when he made this unbelievably Piscean video for his huge hit You’re Beautiful. He’s soaking wet for most of the performance, his shoes seem to play a central role and it ends with a dip in the ocean. He was born on February 22, 1974 with — New Moon in Pisces conjunct Mercury. When this single was released in 2005, Uranus, the awakener, and Mars had just sailed over Blunt’s Pisces planets.

Pisces Musicians: Nina Simone, Gifted and Black

by  • 

Nina Simone — singer, composer and activist — was born on February 21, 1933 in North Carolina. She has Moon in Capricorn — a singer’s placement (read more on this here), Sun, North Node, Mercury and the Part of Fortune in Pisces in the first house of self and cusp of second house of talent. Simone truly was extraordinarily gifted: her piano-playing alone is brilliant. But add to that a composer’s understanding of the mechanics of music, an unforgettable voice, and the emotional truth of Moon-Pluto, and you get genius. I went to see her a long time ago at the […]

Pisces Musicians: Seal

by  • 

Pisces, ruled as it is by Neptune, the planet of pure music, is a sign stuffed full of singers, composers, songwriters and probably maraca players and backing singers too. Starting today, I’ll try and find a Pisces for each day of this sign this year and see if we can hear a silvery fishy sound threading through. With Pisces you don’t necessarily get the big voices of Capricorn, or the mellow sounds of Taurus, or the precise wordsmithing of Virgo or Gemini. What you get is a feeling — sometimes quite a vague one, and sometimes overwhelming, as you’ll hear later […]

Jupiter and the Seat of Consciousness

by  • 

We have previously discussed Jupiter both as the benefic of common astrology and Jupiter in his Janus guise as guardian of the threshold. (For the two part article, click HERE.) We have also tackled Jupiter as the co-ruler of Pisces, with his inherent ability to cause loss, disillusion and deflation (not always Neptune’s territory). But […]
