Amy Winehouse

Her birth time is recorded but rated C, which this project treats as not good enough for the houses, so they are left out. What it does buy is certainty about the Moon, which most records in this set do not have. Fire takes five of her ten planets, earth three, and a single one apiece in air and water. The record calls Winehouse a soul voiced singer and songwriter, says she was born and died in London, and says she was gone at twenty seven.

Mercury is in four of the six closest contacts and every one of them is a soft minor angle. It sits in quiet contact with Venus at under a fifth of a degree, which is charm in communication: somebody easy to talk to who negotiates without it feeling like negotiation. It sits seventy two degrees from Uranus at just under half a degree, inventiveness without friction, and at that same angle to Jupiter at seven tenths, learning that comes easily. Not one hard aspect appears in the six, which is unusual enough to state: this is a chart wired almost entirely with the gentle angles.

Mars sits a fifth of the way round from Saturn at three fifths of a degree, which is sustained effort: craftsmanship, training, and the rare ability to work at something for years. The Sun sits at the same angle to Jupiter at four fifths, growth without much friction. Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune fill twenty two degrees of Sagittarius. The record gives no cause of death and this chart is not being used to supply one.

She died in Camden on 23 July 2011, at twenty seven, and the hour is recorded, so the death chart is cast for four minutes to four in the afternoon. Neptune stood sixty degrees from her natal Moon at thirteen hundredths of a degree, Uranus in easy contact with her natal Jupiter at seventeen hundredths and with its own natal place at just over a degree, and Mars square her natal Mercury at just under a third. The Moon was at its last quarter and forty six per cent lit, the phase that rethinks the whole premise rather than the details.
