Jackie Jackson

Fire claims four of his ten planets, earth three, air two and a single one water, and five of the ten sit in cardinal signs. The element that would register what a thing cost is down to one planet. Jackson sings, and the record names the Jackson 5.

The Sun sits at thirteen degrees of Taurus with Mars at eighteen of the same sign, and Jupiter sits on the third degree of Aries with Mercury on the twenty ninth and retrograde. His Moon sits at twenty eight degrees of Aries at noon, which would put it conjunct that Mercury at four fifths of a degree before it crossed into Taurus a few hours later. Taurus builds on what it has accumulated rather than on what it announces. For a singer whose record is one group and nothing else, that is the placement to start from.

Mars is tied to three planets and it is the centre of this chart. It sits in mild friction with Jupiter at an orb of zero, exact to the arcminute, which is action outrunning sense: taking a risk because it is available rather than because it is wise. It sits square Pluto at just over four tenths, force against force, and at an awkward angle to Neptune at under four tenths, will without a clear direction. Jupiter sits in hard contact with that same Pluto at just under half a degree. Mercury, Saturn and Neptune were the three retrograde planets.

Jupiter stood again on its Aries birth degree on 13 January 2023, at seventy one, and five laps precede it. Aries measures a thing from its first line, which for a singer whose record names the group he began in is a question about a start rather than a span. Drive in mild friction with scale at an orb of zero, with one planet in water, is what to take from this chart.
