Today, there are lots of inspired musicians out there, but despite their talents many of them do not seem to get the break they are chasing. Professional musicians say “luck” is the key factor for success in the music industry, in the same way the Vikings reckoned luck was the most important attribute a man or woman can have. When you become skilled in Magi Astrology, these statements begin to make sense as "luck" becomes visible in the planetary charts. As a Magi Astrologer, I have adjusted the default portion of luck for many people - and the paradox is, of course, that the clients were lucky to find me… Now we'll study how planetary symbolism works in the Magi Astrology of music and musicians.

Harness the power of the stars

This isn’t about doing what you have done so far, honing your musical skills, sending out demo recordings and building contacts in the music industry. It’s about harnessing the celestial and spiritual perspective. The power of the stars. In this exploration of Magi Astrology, we'll travel in the opposite direction to what we usually do. Instead of looking at a chart and explaining it, we are going to search for musical success in our chart database. In order to do that, we first define the elements of "musical success". If you are new to this kind of thinking: by combining the planetary symbolisms of two or more planets, we get a range of meanings that apply to the person or situation that the astrological chart represents. It is that simple. Musical success is associated with fame and in Magi Astrology we have an aspect called the super fame aspect, the aspect between Jupiter (success and expansion) and Uranus (fame). According to this theory, a person who has a 30-degree aspect between Jupiter and Uranus in their astrological chart will stand a better than average chance of becoming famous. Jupiter rules success, good fortune and benevolence. Meanings for Uranus include: broadcasting, fame, technology, freedom and independence, astrology and whatever changes or is new, anything that is worldwide, eye-hand co-ordination and balance. For our Jupiter-Uranus aspect we get these valid meanings: worldwide (Uranus) success (Jupiter) and blessed (Jupiter) by the public (Uranus). We also get massive (Uranus) success (Jupiter). It's therefore reasonable to assume we will find this aspect in the charts of many successful musicians. We can use Magi Astrology to further reduce the varieties of fish that will be caught in our net. We do this by specifying musical planets that need to be in aspect to Jupiter and Uranus. Let us include one more planet in this synchronization, our grouping of planets connected via 30-degree aspects. Planets of interest are Mercury, Neptune and Pallas. This is because Mercury rules writing, singing and music. Neptune rules all creative and artistic professions, and Pallas rules musical compositions. Let us see what our searches in the database will yield…

The elements of musical success

Mercury with Jupiter and Uranus

Blonde ABBA singer Agnetha Faltskog qualifies as a super famous (Jupiter and Uranus) singer (Mercury). This is because Uranus rules fame and the public while Jupiter rules good fortune and success. In the graph to the right, you will see that Jupiter and Uranus are in trine aspect, which is a so-called pure enhancement aspect in Magi Astrology. This means that in her case, Jupiter and Uranus form the “Super Success” aspect - as opposed to the general and lower case super success energy that I use to denote any 30- degree aspect between Jupiter and Uranus. Agnetha is a Super Famous (Jupiter and Uranus trine) singer (Mercury).

Music producer Michael Omartian also classifies as a Super Famous musician. I still think his “Add up the Wonders” is one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded. Omartian has lasting fame as a producer, having had number one records in three consecutive decades. He has won several Grammy awards. The synchronization to the left is found in his heliocentric astrology. Omartian is a Super Famous (Jupiter trine Uranus) musician (Mercury).

Neptune with Jupiter and Uranus

As Neptune rules both creativity and being peaceful, we are not surprised to find that Bob Dylan has Neptune in aspect to his super fame energy. This synchronization is found in his heliocentric astrology, which is “true” at the same time as the geocentric dimension is “true”. They form complimentary perspectives of the same person. Note that in Magi Astrology, the conjunction is also a pure enhancement and with Neptune being in trine to the conjunction, we get a second super aspect, that of Jupiter trine Neptune. Dylan is a Super Famous (Jupiter conjunct Uranus) musician (Neptune) who’s gained long-term fortune (Jupiter trine Neptune) from music. He has also promoted peace and he was awarded the Nobel Prize in literature by the Nobel Foundation, which is an organization promoting peace (Neptune).

Celine Dion is singer who has inspired generations with her uplifting voice. The detailed Magi Astrology analysis of her voice is found under the Singers heading. Celine Dion is a super famous (Jupiter and Uranus) musician (Neptune) who has inspired (Neptune) people all over the world (Uranus).

Pallas with Jupiter and Uranus

Pallas has been found to rule whatever is logical and sequential, including musical compositions. For this grouping I find several heavyweight musicians in my database, artists who have given amazing compositions (Pallas) to the world. To the right we have Brian Eno’s chart. Since Pallas also rules computers, this chart reminds us of the super famous Windows 95 startup sound, which Brian Eno composed. He is indeed a super famous (Jupiter and Uranus) composer (Pallas).

If you find yourself asking WHY Annie Lennox is such a super-talented musician, fret no more. A first secret of her success is revealed to the left. She has BOTH Pallas and Neptune lining up with her Super Success conjunction. She is a Super Successful (Jupiter and Uranus) composer (Pallas) of creative music (Neptune). Let us all take a moment to watch her amazing “Why” music video… in silence, please… Afterwards we can reconvene under the website heading of “Super Successes,” where we look at Annie Lennox in detail. Shania Twain, Led Zeppelin and Jimmy Page, as well as ABBA are some of the other super successful musicians whose stars we’ll inspect under that heading. And oh, given Annie’s amazing videos, you might wonder if Pallas also rules “choreography” ? Yes, correctamundo. Spot on.

In the later years, Miles Davis used to play with his back to the audience. This was not due to arrogance, but so he could better perform his work as a conductor (Pallas). I would be hard-pressed to think of a more famous trumpet player than Davis. He was also one of the most influential modern jazz. musicians. He was a super famous (Jupiter and Uranus) composer of music (Pallas).

NOTE: the examples above were found in my personal database. Charts I have looked at over the years. If you have an example of a super successful musician you would like added to the listing, get in touch. Chances are that this musician will have a similar planetary configuration in their chart. Or they will have something that’s similar. This is because Magi Astrology is consistent. It would be very tricky, indeed, to have international success as a musician without a similar arrangement. The only way this can be moderated is by selecting a MUSICAL PARTNER with whom the first person creates a similar pattern in their CAC = Combined Alignment Chart. Yes, this happens. What also happens is a person who has musical potential will RELEASE a body of music on a date where the transiting planets in combination with the their planets create the pattern. This also happens.

How do I use this to my advantage ?

If you are asking this question, then you have seen the potential of what I am trying to convey here. If you do not have a three-planet combination of Jupiter, Uranus and either Mercury, Pallas or Neptune - then you’ll have to set out go get one. You can attain this either in combination with another person or in combination with an event. If you have one of the valid two-planet combinations, then you’ll only need one more planet to link in. For instance, if you have Uranus and Mercury in aspect in your natal chart, you’d be on the lookout for a person or an event that has Jupiter working positively back to your chart. That’s actually easier than you’d suspect. If you don’t have valid two-planet aspect, then there will be another person who’s on the LOOKOUT for that planet - in a specific position - which can complete their “lacking” two-planet configuration, right? Do you see how “easy” this is? These planetary alignments are clues from God or “the Universe” that allows us to transcend our negative and limited programming to see the the highest value and potentials in our energetic configuration. They are not always what we think they are - and we often have “nose to the ground” and end up selecting the “wrong” person. Needless to say, you need to have the required musical skills and ambition, but if “luck” has been faltering in your life and career, here’s a realistic way of improving your odds.
