\Mommy Blue and Blue Children (Endless Love?)/
There are a lot of strong aspects--close ones--to comment upon, some of them excellent such as Mercury sextile Uranus and Mars sextile Pluto. Unfortunately, astrologers in general tend to focus on the hard aspects, because they seem so much more intense and need attention in order to exorcise them of their power to do mischief. The "hard" one now, in my view, is Venus square Saturn. (In effect by ten degrees from January 21 through February 6; by a tighter six degrees, from January 25 through February 3.) It is, as I have said often over the years, the "Nobody loves me" aspect. But it is more than that. It brings out loyalty, even loyalty to someone who has apparently abandoned you. That is one of the hardest forms of love. Will she or he return, if you keep on loving? There is no guarantee! Yet it is better to love. Popular love songs are full of the thousand and one reactions to the situation, and hearing them can be helpful for moral support. The occultist Franz Hartmann in his book on Magic said that the most potent love potion of all is to love someone and pray for his or her well-being and happiness with no concern for whether the love is returned to oneself or not. If that sounds like doubletalk, maybe, but I believe it works. In eternity, let us say . . .
Which brings me to the new friend I found today. On the day he died. It has happened before.
His name is Demis Roussos. I wonder how many of you have heard of him? I had not, until I saw his name in Internet news today, as a "renowned" Greek singer who had just passed on at the age of 68.
So I went to his songs on Spotify and listened while I performed my morning routine including Hatha Yoga. I am very impressed.
Nine of his songs are now on my February playlist. Born June 15, 1946, his horoscope is fascinating.
Mars in Leo, trine the moon on one side and sextile the sun on the other, gave him his show-business potential. Leo is "the" sign of show business, in a sense, although those without it in their charts can of course become successful in that area. Planets in Leo, including Mars, grant a natural propensity to express oneself spontaneously with a minimum of fuss and worry.
His songs are wonderfully sentimental, in the best sense. His sun in Gemini adds to the natural, common touch--he was very popular, although less so in the U. S. unfortunately. What I note, when it comes to sentiment, is three planets in the sign Cancer. This, at its best, is a "sweet," loving sign, devoted to those it has embraced in a touching manner. I love his semi-sad songs of Eternal Love such as "Forever and Ever" which might be his best-known. Another, "Goodbye My Love Goodbye" must have brought tears to the eyes of fans who happened to listen to it today after hearing the news.
As for tears, his song Rain and Tears, after suggesting one cannot always pretend, embarrassed, that tears are rain, concludes "Rain or sun, you've got to play the game." Amen, Brother Demis.
His Mercury, Venus and Saturn are in Cancer, the last two conjoined. Here we have the sadness of "lost love which is nevertheless eternal" which we have spoken of above concerning the current Saturn-Venus square. Cancer can be a sign of mother love, especially, and it manifests that way in males as well as females, so male Cancer individuals need to be taught at an early age that there is nothing wrong with that, that it is the way they are "supposed" to be.
This comes out amazingly in his song "Mamy Blue." It is one of my favorites. It is poignant, touching--celebrating, I feel, the sad love of mothers who have to accept the pain as well as the joy in their children's lives. As he sings it, it becomes sometimes "Mommy Blue." He has written and performed the definitive song about mother-love, I believe, or one of the best. His horoscope showed that he could do it, and he did.
He manifested it. Who makes horoscopes? Who makes human beings? We all know, though we give Him or Her different names. Without Him there would be no horoscopes, no human beings manifesting or womanifesting them, such as the beloved and immortal Demis Roussos, no songs, and no
