Elvis Presley

His birth time is recorded and rated, so the houses can be used here. Three of his ten planets sit in the second house, the one that deals with what somebody owns and what they are worth: the Sun at seventeen degrees of Capricorn, Mercury at twenty two and Venus on the last degree of the sign. The record's two sentences are two houses, a two room house in Tupelo and Graceland in Memphis, which is the second house's own subject stated as a biography. Fire is down to a single planet and six of the ten are cardinal.

Venus sits in hard contact with Neptune at eight hundredths of a degree, close enough to call exact, and the standing reading is love and illusion: disappointment built in from the start, sacrifice mistaken for devotion, and attraction to people who are unavailable in some structural way. The Sun sits in mild friction with the Moon at just over a fifth of a degree, which is the self being built and the comfort required wanting different things: somebody who cannot rest while succeeding or succeed while resting. Both lights are certain. Presley the performer is in the record's first sentence and Presley the owner of a house is in its second, and those two contacts are this chart's version of the distance between them.

Mars sits alone in the tenth house at thirteen degrees of Libra, the part of a chart that deals with standing in public, and it is the only planet there. A T-square closes on Venus, Uranus and Pluto without an outlet. Venus also sits a fifth of the circle from Jupiter at seven tenths of a degree, ease and goodwill, and the Sun sixty degrees from that same Jupiter at four fifths, growth without much friction. For a performer the record credits with carrying a whole form of music into the mainstream, the easy Jupiter contacts are the half of the chart that accounts for the arrival.

He died at Memphis on 16 August 1977, at forty two, and the record gives the hour, so the death chart is cast for half past three in the afternoon. Pluto stood conjunct his natal Mars at under three fifths of a degree, the one planet alone in his tenth house, with Neptune sixty degrees from that same Mars at a little over half. The Moon was new and four per cent lit. That is the phase that starts things without waiting to see the whole of them.
