In this section we’ll be looking at more examples of Super Success in music, starting with Led Zeppelin and ABBA.
We will add many more examples as we go along. Update: Childish Gambino has been added at end of page.
Examples of Musical Super Success
Led Zeppelin - Jimmy Page
Jimmy Page is the guitarist who produced Led Zeppelin, the world's most influential rock band with record sales
somewhere between 200 to 300 million. He has exceptional composing, guitar, producing and marketing skills. They are all
evident in his Magi Astrology analysis. If you've ever seen interviews featuring him, you'll know he also seems like a
genuinely nice bloke. This also bears out in the astrology.
In the geocentric longitudes, Jimmy has
a grand trine between Pallas, Venus and
Pluto - which signifies money (Venus)
and power (Pluto) from musical
compositions (Pallas). The Venus and
Pluto is also a sexual aspect, which
helps when you’re involved with rock
music.
Jimmy Page also has a conjuncted
astrotriangle with Mercury and the Sun
at the conjunction, which then trines
Chiron and aspects Juno.
He (Sun) is a charismatic (Juno and
Chiron) career (Chiron) musician
(Mercury).
Finally, Page has a multi-planet synch that
involves the Jupiter/Chiron midpoint, also
called the Cinderella midpoint, which carries
the energy of blessed (Jupiter) life (Chiron)
or "super career".
In Page's chart, the Jupiter/Chiron midpoint
ties into a triple conjunction of Vesta, Mars,
and Uranus, which is then trine Neptune
and opposing Venus. Page could have a
super career (Jupiter/Chiron) from energetic
(Mars) and inventive (Uranus) music
(Neptune) that earns him public acclaim
(Uranus and Vesta) and long-term (Neptune)
money (Venus) and financial security
(Neptune).
In other words, he could have a career as a
rock musician.
Note that Uranus also rules independence and technology: Jimmy has been fiercely independent in his control
of the Led Zeppelin output, as in, ensuring all songs were at least four of five minutes long, so they could not be
turned into singles. He had a clear vision of Led Zeppelin being an LP-based outfit.
The Launch of Led Zeppelin 1 - CAC with Jimmy Page
At the time of the release of Led Zeppelin's first record,
transiting Jupiter and Uranus where in a "planetary eclipse"
with Page's Neptune. This means Jupiter and Uranus were
"on top of" his Neptune, in that they were not only conjunct
Neptune, but also parallel in the declinations.
This means Super Fame (Jupiter and Uranus) from
creativity (Neptune).
We now connect that with the remainder of Jimmy's
"inventive music" synchronization: Super Fame (Jupiter
and Uranus) from energetic (Mars) and inventive (Uranus)
music (Neptune) that earns him public acclaim (Uranus and
Vesta) and long-term (Neptune) money (Venus) and
financial security (Neptune).
Note that the combination of Vesta and Uranus lends itself
to fandom, as in being appreciated by a global audience,
and this is massively energized here.
The Cinderella promise of the Jupiter/Chiron midpoint in
this synch certainly was realized by the launch of Led
Zeppelin I.
Notable Synastry with other band members
Robert Plant’s Jupiter/Chiron midpoint, the so-called Cinderella midpoint, is conjunct Page’s “rock
conjunction” - the triple conjunction of Vesta, Mars and Uranus. Robert Plant provided Super Career
(Jupiter/Chiron) and Super Charisma (Jupiter/Chiron) to Jimmy’s rock energy.
In the declinations, Robert Plant has a synch between Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto. This endows him with
super fame (Jupiter and Uranus) as well as super success (Jupiter and Pluto) energy. Jimmy Page’s Sun falls
into this synchronization, being parallel Plant’s Jupiter and contra-parallel his Uranus and Pluto. The duo
certainly helped each other reach super fame and super success.
The synastry between Page and Bonham also has many powerful combinations, including that Page’s Sun
ties into Bonham’s Jupiter, Uranus and Vesta in the declinations.
In the heliocentric realm, Page has a
grouping of Venus, Pluto, Ceres, Uranus
and Pallas. Technically speaking, this is
actually two separate synchronizations
as Venus is too far away from Pluto for it
to all hang together. But the overall
energy is ambition (Pluto) and the ability
to make money (Ceres) from exciting
(Uranus) and beautiful (Venus) musical
compositions (Pallas).
The “upper” synch is Pallas, Ceres, Uranus
and Pluto - while the “lower” synch is
Venus, Pallas, Ceres, and Uranus. So in this
grouping the direct connection between
Venus and Pluto is falling off.
In Magi Astrology, Venus and Pluto are
both financial planets.
Not only are John Paul Jones' Juno and
Neptune conjunct Page's Venus, but they
are also placed so they aspect all the
other planets in the wide Page grouping.
It’s as if they are creating a “bridge” that
connects Page’s upper and lower synch.
Jones adds creative (Neptune) seduction
(Juno) to the synch, which is now also
“sexier” as Venus and Pluto are thus
connected.
He also adds long-lasting (Neptune)
ambition (Juno) and artistry (Neptune).
ABBA
When it comes to the Swedish group ABBA, there’s a barrage of powerful synchronizations in the CAC - Combined
Alignment Chart - of Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus. We will look at some of them here.
This is an interesting synch found in
Benny’s geocentric chart. It doesn’t
hold any musical energy per se.
There are, of course, several synchs
in Benny’s charts that represent his
massive musical talent.
But this synch only speaks of Super
Fame (bi-directional Jupiter-Uranus
quincunx) and commercialism
(Ceres) from beauty (Venus).
Next we will see what happens
when we add in Bjorn’s planets…
Bjorn has two conjunctions and the
asteroid Juno linking in with Benny's
synch perfectly.
The Mercury-Venus conjunction
represents beautiful (Venus) music
(Mercury).
The Jupiter-Pallas conjunction represents
successful (Jupiter) musical compositions
(Pallas).
Juno adds ambition and also the ability to
“cast a spell” into this synchronization.
In combination, this planetary synch is
loaded with musical success energy.
In the heliocentric latitudes Bjorn and Benny have an alignment around the 1.3 degree mark. NOT SHOWN HERE.
Benny’s Mars, Venus, Neptune and Jupiter aligns with Bjorn’s Mercury, Jupiter and Neptune.
This translates as: long-term (Neptune) success (Jupiter) and money (Venus) from creative (Neptune) writing (Mercury)
and graceful (Jupiter) dancing (Venus and Mars).
They have so many alignments between them that signify both musical talent and commercial ability that we’d be here all
day if I were to describe them all. But let’s look at one of the commercial ones at least…
In the heliocentric longitudes we find this
alignment in Bjorn’s chart. It consists of two
conjunctions that are a semi-sextile apart.
Bjorn (Earth) can commercialize (Ceres) his
musical (Neptune) talent and charisma
(Chiron). This is a synchronization that holds
both talent and the ability to make money
from it. We’ll now see what happens when
we add in Benny’s planets…
Benny's Mars, Ceres, Pallas and Saturn are all
tying into this synchronization.
The pair are a dominant force (Saturn) who
are using their energy (Mars) to establish a
long-term (Neptune) commercial (Ceres)
business (Chiron) based on musical
compositions (Pallas).
Note especially that Ceres is trine Ceres. This
means they are commercially “in tune”.
The trine between Benny’s Pallas and Bjorn’s
Neptune-Chiron conjunction represents
charismatic (Chiron) and lasting (Neptune)
musical compositions (Pallas and Neptune).
Childish Gambino
Super-talented artist Donald Glover has an exact Jupiter-
Uranus conjunction, signifying Super Fame, in his geocentric
chart. The two planets are also parallel in the declinations,
meaning we have a planetary eclipse multiplying his Super
Fame energy by a factor three. His Jupiter-Uranus conjunction
takes part in two separate synchronizations.
In the first, the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction is in a bi-directional
quincunx with Juno, which here signifies fantasy and ambition,
and Juno is then trine Pallas. We get Super Fame (Jupiter and
Uranus) and ambition (Juno) as a fantasy (Juno) composer
(Pallas).
In the second, Pallas falls off to be replaced
by Saturn and Chiron.
Donald Glover has achieved Super Fame
(Jupiter and Uranus) in his charismatic
(Chiron and Juno) and dominant (Saturn)
career (Chiron).
In the declinations, his Jupiter-Uranus
parallel is also parallel Neptune, translating
as Super Fame (Jupiter and Uranus) from
creative arts (Neptune). (Not shown).
Donald has a Jupiter-Mercury quincunx in the heliocentric
astrology, signifying success (Jupiter) as a writer (Mercury)
and musician (Mercury), not shown.
In the Zodiac 7 realm he also has a synchronization
between Mercury, Chiron and Neptune, which symbolises
charismatic (Chiron) and long-term (Neptune) career
(Chiron) as a creative (Neptune) writer (Mercury) and
musician (Mercury).
While these aspects are on point, I still felt there "ought to be more" so decided to look at the midpoint
structures. In Magi Astrology, we use 30-degree midpoints between two planets, which combine according to
standard Magi Astrology doctrine.
For instance, if we were looking for Super Success as a writer, we would see if the Jupiter/Pluto midpoint
somehow combined with Mercury. In Donald's case, we find there is a trine aspect between them.
Donald Glover can have Super Success (Jupiter/Pluto) as a writer (Mercury), a communicator (Mercury) and as a
musician (Mercury).
Since Jupiter and Uranus are conjunct each other, his Uranus/Pluto midpoint is also trine his Mercury, meaning
he is a speaker or musician who has power (Pluto) with the masses (Uranus).
Both the Jupiter/Pluto and the Uranus/Pluto combinations are so-called Super Aspect combinations, meaning
they dramatically increase the likelihood of success in a person's chart, depending on what they are aspecting.
So we find that Donald could become super successful and have command of audiences as a musician and
writer. This is fantastic, but there is much more….
A barrage of Super midpoints aspecting Mercury
Donald has no fewer than five Super Success midpoints aspecting his Mercury and in total, there are 10 midpoint
combinations involving Jupiter and Uranus that connect with his Mercury.
The five Super Aspect combinations are listed here:
Jupiter/Pluto is trine his Mercury, super success as a writer or musician.
Uranus/Pluto is trine his Mercury, power (Pluto) with the masses and in entertainment industry (Uranus).
Jupiter/Venus is quincunx his Mercury, leadership (Jupiter and Venus) and good fortune (Jupiter) in partnerships (Venus).
Venus/Uranus is quincunx his Mercury, symbolising money (Venus) from entertainment industry (Uranus).
Jupiter/Neptune is square his Mercury, signifying long-term fortune and money from creativity and copyrights.
The two following midpoint combinations involve Mars, meaning they are great for energy (Mars) and aggression (Mars) and
therefore helpful when it comes to rap music. They are also so-called Sports Champion combinations, meaning they give
him lots of energy that connects to his reflexes, respiratory and nervous system, since these are also represented by
Mercury:
Mars/Jupiter is quincunx his Mercury, giving him balanced and benevolent (Jupiter) energy (Mars) when communicating
(Mercury).
Mars/Uranus is quincunx his Mercury, meaning fame (Uranus) as a rap (Mars) musician (Mercury). This midpoint
combination also helps him have great command of his movements and dancing, since Uranus rules balance and co-
ordination.
Finally, we have three midpoint combinations that while not Super Aspect combinations per se, are beneficial for artistic
work and connecting with audiences. They are:
Uranus/Neptune square Mercury, providing long-term (Neptune) fame and star quality (Uranus) when communicating
(Mercury).
Vesta/Uranus conjunct Mercury, offering friendliness (Vesta) with star quality (Uranus) as a musician and writer (Mercury).
Note: both Vesta and Neptune conveys a graceful and delicate energy, which is also receptive and adaptable.
Vesta/Jupiter conjunct Mercury, providing benevolence and generosity (Vesta and Jupiter) as a communicator (Mercury).
The Middle - Zedd and Sarah Aarons
AUSTRALIAN songwriter Sarah Aarons, who now lives in Los Angeles, has written the song The Middle, which has been
nominated for Song of the Year at the Grammy Awards. While Sarah has worked with several musicians during the
production of this song, the most famous is Zedd. So let's take a look at the basic astrology for the two of them.
If we start with Zedd, we'd expect to see a
planetary alignment that points to him being
a successful composer. We find he has a
Mystical Triangle created by Chiron, Pluto
and Pallas. This is interpreted as Super
Career and Charisma (Chiron-Pluto
enhancement) as a composer (Pallas). When
we add in Sarah's chart, we find her Jupiter
is conjunct his Pluto. This becomes Super
Success (Jupiter-Pluto enhancement) and
Fabulous Public Image (Jupiter-Chiron
enhancement) and Super Career (Pluto-
Chiron enhancement) in musical composing
(Pallas). So that works.
A significant factor in Sarah's chart is the Uranus-Neptune planetary eclipse. The planets are both conjunct and parallel. This
means the strength of this aspect is multiplied by a factor three, at least. She has potential for long-term (Neptune) fame
(Uranus) from creative works (Neptune) in the entertainment industry (Uranus). But, in Magi Astrology two-planet aspects
aren't that important - this conjunction needs to connect with something else for us to consider it. And it does.
Sarah can enjoy long-term (Neptune) fame (Uranus) and
creative (Neptune) excitement (Uranus) as a composer
(Pallas).
Sarah can enjoy a charismatic career (Chiron) as an
artist (Neptune) in the entertainment industry (Uranus)
and Zedd is helping with an energy boost (Mars).
In addition, Sarah has power (Pluto) in the
entertainment industry (Uranus) as a
composer (Pallas). Zedd's Ceres, representing
commercial potential, connects into this.
Sarah Aarons Declinations - not shown
Then if we look at Sarah's declinations, the sideways perspective, then we find she has Mercury, Jupiter and Pallas all
parallel. This represents success (Jupiter) as a composer (Pallas) and song writer (Mercury).
Zedd's Chiron is contra-parallel all these, with the aspect to Sarah's Mercury being within one day of exactness.
We now have joint super success (Jupiter-Chiron) as musicians (Mercury) and composers (Pallas).
In addition, Sarah has an alignment between Venus, Ceres and Uranus. This represents commercial potential (Ceres)
from putting things together (Venus) in the entertainment industry (Uranus). It also represents accelerated ability
(Ceres) to make money (Venus) from masses-related work (Uranus). Such as writing world-famous songs.
Zedd's Jupiter is synchronized with all this, helping Sarah to become a world famous (Jupiter-Uranus) leader (Jupiter-
Venus) in commercial (Ceres) entertainment (Uranus).
