Bassist

Flea

His chart puts three planets in earth signs, three in air, three in water and a single one in fire. Nothing is scarce except the element that starts a thing out of sheer appetite. Flea plays bass in the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and the record also names a jazz trumpet training and a free music school he founded in Los Angeles.

The Sun sits at twenty two degrees of Libra with Mercury further back in the sign, and the Moon answers from the end of Taurus, or Gemini a few hours later. Libra will not act without the other party, which in a bass player is the whole function rather than a disposition. Venus sits in Scorpio directly across from that Moon, so what he values and what he needs face each other across the chart.

Jupiter sits directly opposite Uranus at four fifths of a degree, scale against the planet that refuses the expected arrangement, and Saturn stands at an awkward angle to that same Uranus at nine tenths. Nothing in this chart sits inside three quarters of a degree of exact and nothing forms a named pattern, so this is a loose birth with no single pressure point. Jupiter alone was retrograde.

Jupiter came the whole way round to its Pisces starting point on 13 January 2022, at fifty nine, a year after Saturn had closed its own second lap. Pisces keeps no edge, so what it asks is how many things were allowed in, and four circuits come before it. In a record that names a band, a second instrument and a school, how many things were allowed in is exactly the right question. One planet in fire, in a chart with three separate trades on the record, puts the energy in the spread rather than in any one of them. His Moon sits on the final degrees of Taurus at noon and may by then have moved on into Gemini, which leaves the private half open between holding one instrument and picking up another, and the record says he did the second. A Libra Sun with Mercury behind it is the part of this chart that plays with other people rather than over them.

Cast your own birth chart

Flea is alive, so there is one chart here rather than two. The death chart is cast for a documented moment of death and there is nothing to cast one for, which is the point: this site does not estimate either end.
