Whitney Houston

Her birth time is recorded but rated C, which this project does not accept for the houses, so they are left out. What the rating does buy is a certain Moon. Fire takes four of her ten planets, earth three, air two and a single one water, with four of the ten fixed. The record calls Houston one of the best selling recording artists of all time, and says she was born in Newark and died in Beverly Hills.

Jupiter sits in hard contact with Uranus at four hundredths of a degree, close enough to call exact, and the reading is growth arriving disruptively: opportunity that costs stability, and restlessness that discards something workable for something merely new. Jupiter also sits sixty degrees from Saturn at half a degree, growth that holds and a career that accumulates. One planet wired to upheaval at four hundredths and to limit at half a degree is a chart where scale pulls two ways at once, and in a record whose single fact is sales on that scale, both halves belong in the account.

The Sun sits at seventeen degrees of Leo and the Moon in easy contact with it at seventeen of Aries, at under four tenths of a degree, and both signs are certain. Two lights that agree are less common in this set than two that argue, and what it means here is that the self being built and the comfort required were after the same thing. Mercury, Uranus and Pluto fill under seven degrees of Virgo, and Mercury sits conjunct that Pluto at three quarters, thought at full depth. For a singer the record measures in sales, two lights that are after the same thing is the quieter half of the chart and probably the more useful one.

She died at Beverly Hills on 11 February 2012, at forty eight, and the hour is recorded, so the death chart is cast for five to four in the afternoon. The Moon stood sixty degrees from her natal Sun at a tenth of a degree and directly opposite its own natal place at under three tenths, with Pluto square her natal Mars at a fifth. The record gives no cause and neither does this. The Moon was disseminating and seventy nine per cent lit, which is the phase that passes on what was worked out and needs it to land.
