Michael Jackson
Born on 29 August 1958 in Gary. Without a public birth time, no rising sign: here is what the date and place can calculate.
You and Michael Jackson
What you are trying to become
You spot what is off before looking for it, and you say so. A wrong word, a wrong number, a detail nobody re-read: it jumps out at you.
Mercury rules this sign and is exalted in it, a case unique in the zodiac. The brightest star is Spica, the ear of wheat.
You ask a lot of others, and far more of yourself. What is finished, you rarely see.
Why?
What you are trying to become, and what you need to be recognised for. In Virgo, it gets settled in the details. You spot what is off before looking for it, and you say so.
What settles you
You settle apart: water, music, the dark. The mood of the room becomes yours without your choosing it.
Pisces closes the zodiac. Two fish swim in opposite directions, tied by a cord. The star that makes the knot is called Alrescha: “the cord”, in Arabic.
You need time to hand back to others what is not yours.
Why?
What settles you and what puts you on alert, before any conscious decision. In Pisces, it happens by absorption. You take on the mood of a room without choosing to, and sometimes mistake it for your own.
What draws you
What draws you has style. You like to give, to stage things, to make an occasion out of a Tuesday.
The Sun rules this sign: the only body in the chart that makes its own light. The brightest star of the constellation is Regulus, “the little king”.
You give a lot, and you want to see it in the other person’s eyes.
Why?
What draws you in and what you offer — in love as in taste. In Leo, it is done large or not at all. You need it to be seen, and lukewarm stings more than a flat no.
What gets you moving
You do not start fast, and you do not stop either. People can push you for a long time and get nowhere. Your anger takes months to come, and as long to leave.
Venus rules this sign. In its constellation shine the Pleiades, seven sisters to the Greeks, visible to the naked eye on winter nights.
Mars is in detriment in this sign. Your strength is holding on.
Why?
What you go after, and how you fight when you meet resistance. In Taurus, it takes the time it takes and it is not replayed. You commit late, then you do not revisit it. Opposite its home: adverse ground. What it governs takes deliberate effort — and is worth working for exactly that reason.
How you think
You think out loud, and you tell a story well. An idea, for you, gets defended on your feet, with gestures and a punchline.
You find it hard to change your mind in front of everyone.
Why?
How you think and speak — the pace, the level of detail, what you keep to yourself. In Leo, it is done large or not at all. You need it to be seen, and lukewarm stings more than a flat no.
