In my previous post, we looked at the chart of Leonardo da Vinci and discovered facets that suggested he was artistic, progressive, and transformative. It is not too surprising that the chart of Johann Sebastian Bach reveals the same traits.

While looking recently for sample charts to be used in my astrology classes, I explored a database of artists, musicians, and creative sorts in general. I was drawn to the charts of Leonardo da Vinci and Johann Sebastian Bach. It was my intention to do a study of the charts separately, but while doing so, discovered that some themes seemed to be common between the two charts. “Innovation, structure, beauty” were the words I had jotted down.
Astrologers often advise that the influence of Mercury Retrograde will result in a duplication of tasks or effort. This story takes the cake.
In the previous three posts, we’ve been looking at connections in the astrological charts of today’s performer Michelle Berting Brett and the legendary Karen Carpenter. Michelle is currently starring in We’ve Only Just Begun: Carpenters Remembered, a tribute to the music of that famous brother and sister duo, Richard and Karen Carpenter. When any performer gravitates to the work of another, there has undoubtedly got to be some astrological “synastry” in the mix. That is certainly the case here. Michelle’s fondness for the Carpenters, and her desire and determination to celebrate their music, is literally shown in the stars.
Canadian performer Michelle Berting Brett was born on July 8, 1964, at 9:32 am in Humboldt, Saskatchewan. The Water element is very strong in her chart, with Sun, Moon, Mercury and Saturn in Water signs. The Sun, too, is trine Neptune, and the Moon is in the Balsamic phase. It seems that Michelle can operate very much from a place of feeling, sensitivity, and intuition. Pluto on the Ascendant adds an intensity to the way in which Michelle perceives the world; she likely has some very strong research and detective skills. Combined with the Virgo Ascendant, I imagine Michelle is very thorough in attending to the details of her show.
