An Astrological Explanation

Trying to speculate on the rash of deaths in the world of the well-known is sometimes most easily explained through the forces at work in the Universe.

As I have said many times before, the stars impel, they do not compel, when you have the knowledge you can use the information to help you along. like a weather report.

I was going to cast a solar chart and see what was going on and came across this, which I was going to re write, but this author although anonymous has taken the work out of it and as I am going somewhere shortly, here it is, I hope you got some insight into how this all works!

Celebrity Deaths: Is There a Cosmic Connection?

 June 25th, 2009 by Cosmic Reporter

As you probably already know, today brought the untimely deaths of two American pop culture legends: bombshell actress Farrah Fawcett and "King of Pop" Michael Jackson. Two days ago, we also said goodbye to TV personality/television host/all-American good guy Ed McMahon, a loss which came fast on the heels of actor David Carradine's tragic end.

Although there is no stand-out cosmic explanation for the sudden rash of celebrity deaths, it is noteworthy that, Monday's New Moon in cozy Cancer was opposite Pluto, the planet of death and rebirth, setting the stage for some dramatic exits. Pieces of our cultural history are leaving with the departures of Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett and Ed MacMahon.  yet optimistically, expansive Jupiter's close conjunction with spiritual Neptune is a great time to make an escape. The recent deaths of so many famous people may look like a tragic loss to the living but could be a joyous journey for those who have left us."

Still, it is interesting to look at each celeb's Sun sign to see what we can learn about their deaths.

Michael Jackson
The often scandalous saga of Michael Jackson's life came to a sad, shocking end when he died suddenly of a heart attack. He was only 50, and although he had spent the better part of his last decade either in court or in seclusion, his fame never waned. His Virgo sense of perfectionism (combined with his romantic Pisces Moon) had awarded him an outstanding career, from endearing child star to King of Pop to eccentric legend. True to Virgo form, he was defined by his career (after all, he penned some of the most enduring pop hits of our time) and was strongly influenced by his surroundings, which prompted him to create his own paradise in California, Neverland Ranch. For a time, he could tap into his fantasy-driven Pisces Moon and create his own reality. Sadly, he was taken just as this same ability to dream prompted him to organize an epic comeback tour.

Farrah Fawcett
The incomparable Farrah Fawcett died of cancer at the age of 62. A true Aquarius, she achieved fame her own way: instead of being lost in the crowd with so many other beauties, she proved herself a stylish mix of seduction and substance - first by playing Jill Munroe in the wildly popular Charlie's Angels TV series, then by taking on difficult television and film roles, all the time sporting a trademark hairstyle that was quickly copied worldwide! Farrah would forever be remembered as a pin-up sex goddess who aged gracefully until the very end (she even posed nude in Playboy Magazine at the age of 50!). And in her personal life, she also showed the determination to be happy on her own terms. Her on-again, off-again relationship with actor Ryan O'Neal solidified into a partnership both had enjoyed up until her death. In fact, Farrah became engaged to her long-time love (and the father of her only son) three days prior to her death.

Ed McMahon
Ed McMahon is perhaps as recognizable for his distinctive voice as he is for his welcoming smile, and with him, we've lost one of the last great personalities from TV's golden age. This Pisces got his start as an announcer on The Tonight Show throughout most of Johnny Carson's tenure (coining one of television's most-quoted lines, "Heeeeere's Johnny!"), and went on to host family-friendly programs and act as announcer for such TV institutions as Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Sadly, in his last years, he suffered countless medical problems and financial setbacks, nearly losing his home and finding himself deep in debt. For Pisces, living the dream - in McMahon's case, a long-running television career - often gives way to disappointing illusion, since many Pisces live beyond their means and have to face a harsh reality down the line.

David Carradine
TV and film fixture David Carradine both enjoyed and alluded fame. As a frequent performer in the genres of Western and Kung Fu flicks, Carradine proved his Sagittarius chops by keeping a perspective on his sometimes serious, sometimes self-parodying film choices. For many of us, he will always be remembered as the infamous title character of the Kill Bill movie franchise, where he brought his Sagittarian flair for wisdom and philosophy to a very complicated, fiery character. As a Sagittarius, he embraced exciting and, yes, often unusual (or even questionable) experiences not only professionally, but personally, too. His four marriages are a testament to the Archer's need for freedom, and his death - still shrouded in mystery - hint at his risk-taking taste for adventure
