Bret Michaels

Of his ten planets, five sit in water signs, two in earth, two in air and a single one in fire. Fire is the element most people would expect to be running a rock singer's chart, and it is the one with almost nothing in it. Michaels sings, and the record names Poison and Every Rose Has Its Thorn, which is a band and the ballad that came out of it.

The Sun, Mercury and Jupiter group across fifteen degrees of Pisces, with the Sun and Jupiter conjunct at under a degree, and the Moon answers from Scorpio at twenty three. Pisces has no edge of its own and Scorpio admits nothing. A power ballad is a Pisces undertaking rather than a fire one, because it works by dissolving the distance between whoever is singing and whoever is listening.

Mercury sits directly opposite Pluto at just over a quarter of a degree, the tightest contact here, which puts speech against concentrated force. The Sun sits conjunct Jupiter at nine tenths, identity fused to the planet of scale. The Moon makes an easy skill of its contact with Pluto at four fifths. Four of the ten planets were moving backwards at his birth. For a singer, identity welded to the planet of reach is the aspect that accounts for a career the record measures in one song.

Jupiter came the whole way round to its Pisces starting point on 18 April 2022, at fifty nine, eight weeks after Saturn had closed its own second lap in the same spring. Pisces dissolves an edge rather than defending one, so the question becomes how much was taken in rather than how far it went. Four circuits precede it. Five planets in water against one in fire describes somebody whose trade looks like volume from outside and is actually built on the slow part of it.
