We also discussed the astrology of movements in pop music: punk was triggered by Uranus in Scorpio; outrage, rebellion and nihilism. The figurehead of punk, John Rotten/Lydon is an Aquarian.
Techno surprisingly coincided with the Uranus/Neptune conjunction in Capricorn. While I can understand that Neptune would be a strong factor; the drugs, the trance music, the throwback to 60's psychedelia...but why Capricorn, that status ridden, establishment-based, ambitious sign? But the explanation lies in the fact that alot of money was made during the techno period...it was run by bread head hippies. Conservative peers' son, James Palumbo, who ran the Ministry of Sound, one of the most successful clubs and record labels of the period, would seem aptly to represent this combination.
L has written an astrological analysis on members of the 27 club, those pop stars that die at the age of 27; Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Brian Jones, Janis Joplin, Kurt Cobain. They didn't want to grow up astrologically, that is, to go through their first Saturn return at 28/29.
