Guitarist

Eddie Van Halen

Two-handed tapping was not new when he did it, and after Eruption in 1978 every guitarist had to reckon with it. He built his own guitars out of parts.

Their Astrocartography

Where each planet sat on one of the four angles at the moment Eddie Van Halen was born. Tap a line to read what the tradition associates with it.

The birth time is unknown, so this map is cast for noon. The SHAPE of it is right and the whole pattern slides east or west with the real time, so treat the longitudes as approximate.

Ten planets on four angles is forty lines, which is more than the interactive tool opens with on purpose. Draw your own map to choose which planets to show.

Charts are computed from real planetary positions (Swiss Ephemeris) for the recorded moment and place. Recorded times can carry small uncertainties; treat house and ascendant placements accordingly.
