Astrologer's Notes:
The Symbols of Success
& Prominence In A Horoscope
Part 2
by Basil Fearrington
In tennis, the Williams sisters have really been the dominating force and the top drawing card. In Venus William's midpoint Sort, the Jupiter/Pluto midpoint is located at 86 degrees, which is 26 degrees into the Mutable midpoints. AND SO IS HER SUN. She has Sun=Jup/Plu!







Serena Williams was born on September 26, 1981. There is no need to do a midpoint Sort because Pluto was at 23 degrees Libra and Jupiter was at 16 degrees Libra, a wide conjunction.








What about Tiger Woods? He has made a couple of dollars in his life, right? Eldrick Tiger Woods was born December 30, 1975 at 10:50 PM in Long Beach, California. As you can see, his horoscope contains a potent T-square: the Sun squares an opposition between Pluto and Jupiter, which is the same as Sun=Jup/Plu.







I read an article recently that stated that there are four actors whose names alone will sell a movie. They are the four most powerful and well-paid actors in Hollywood. They are Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, Mel Gibson, and Tom Cruise. Hanks was born July 9, 1956. Pluto was at 27 degrees Leo and Jupiter at 0 degrees Virgo, a conjunction. Julia Robert's 45 degree Sort shows us Node=Jup/Plu. Tom Cruise was born July 3, 1962. Pluto was at 8 degrees Virgo; Jupiter was at 12 degrees Pisces, an opposition! Mel Gibson was born January 3, 1956, the same year as Tom Hanks. Pluto was at 28 degrees Leo and Jupiter at 1 degree Virgo, a conjunction.







Many people would be surprised to know that Bill Cosby is a billionaire. He commands a cool $250,000 a night in Las Vegas!!!!! This man has been very successful for many, many years. Cosby was born July 12, 1937. The traditional time given for him is 12:30 am EST in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I have rectified this time to 12:38 AM based on a Neptune transit of his Midheaven that, in the rectified horoscope, would have taken place when his son was murdered, followed, on the same or next day, by accusations against him of having fathered a child out of wedlock.


Cosby's natal horoscope reveals that Jupiter opposes a stellium of the Sun, Mercury, and Pluto. Jupiter conjoins the Midheaven. All of these positions are tied together. In the midpoint Sort, the Jupiter/Pluto midpoint is at 25 degrees Cardinal (you can see this with your eyes from observation of the natal horoscope). Both Mercury and the Midheaven are at his Jup/Plu!







Are you beginning to get the message here? No? Okay, here's more.


President Bush has Sun=Jupiter/Pluto in his 30 degree Sort. Bill Clinton has Node=Jupiter/Pluto. Former President Bush has Mars=Saturn=Node=Jup/Plu. Ronald Reagan had Venus=Jup/Plu. Jimmy Carter has AP=Jup/Plu. Richard Nixon had Mercury=Jup/Plu. John F. Kennedy had Saturn=Jup/Plu in his 45 degree Sort.







This is the midpoint Sort of Michael Jordan, obviously a very wealthy and successful man. Jordan has MC=Jup/Plu in his 45 degree Sort, as well as Moon=Pluto=Sun/Jupiter, a picture of success, happiness, and fulfillment on a grand scale. Lastly, Martha Stewart has Sun=Venus=Jup/Plu in her 30 degree Sort!!







Mick Jagger's horoscope shows a Sun-Jupiter-Pluto conjunction opposing the Midheaven! This grandfather of rock and roll has been successful from the very beginning of his career and has excelled over most in longevity and success.





I have filled entire two-hour lectures with 90 minutes of showing different examples like I have done in this essay. They are all extreme examples of success. These are people who are very prominent, very successful and very well known. They have been able to achieve more than everyone else who does what they do and, with the exception of the Bush Presidents and President Kennedy, hardly any of the people that were used in these examples were born into an environment that supported the odds of becoming what they have all become. Now, this is not to say that the Jupiter-Pluto contact means that a truckload of money and success will drop out of the sky into one's lap. What it does suggest is that the potential to do well is there if one is resourceful and works hard along the right path.






Oprah Winfrey is a prime example of resourcefulness and hard work paying off. She had every obstacle against her. Her parental foundation was weak. She was sexually abused. She was born into an impoverished environment in an area of the country that was dominated by racial prejudice during her youth and today, she is the wealthiest Black woman in the wealthiest country on the planet. Her success is the end result of hard work and resourcefulness.


What I am suggesting, and what the evidence supports, is that the Jupiter-Pluto hard aspect contact and activation of the Jupiter/Pluto symbolism present in a horoscope gives more potential for success after hard work than is so when it is not present in a horoscope. Activation of this midpoint means nothing without the proper application to a goal or a dream. If you are on the proper path and work hard, the prominence of Jupiter/Pluto or the Jupiter-Pluto aspect contact in a horoscope is an added bonus from the universe.


You are going to find exceptions to the rule. Music producer, Quincy Jones, a billionaire (March 14, 1933, 8:40 PM CST in Chicago, Il.), does not have Jupiter/Pluto midpoint contact and he is the most successful, most wealthy and prominent producer of music that has ever produced a record. However, he does have Pluto loosely squaring his Ascendant for the measure of prominence.


Princess Diana did not have Jupiter/Pluto contact and Pluto in her horoscope conjoined Mars, ruler of her 4th House. Her Pluto had much to do with the symbol of the strong parental tension that is shown in her horoscope but as far as success and prominence are concerned, it really isn't there. And perhaps we would never have known of her existence were it not for her marriage to Prince Charles.


Anyone can be successful if they try and persist on the proper path. Very few of the people that have been named in this essay were born into families or environments that spoon-fed success to them. They all started with a dream, stayed the course, and were very successful. The research and the evidence seems to suggest that those with the Jupiter/Pluto connection have been blessed with a greater potential for success on a grand scale than those who are without it. There can be no accident that the symbolism, whether by aspect contact (Britney Spears has Pluto conjunct Jupiter), or midpoint (Shaquille O'Neal has Mars=Jupiter/Pluto), is so frequently found in the horoscopes of successful people.


In your private research of this phenomenon, have your computer print out 45 and 30 degree midpoint Sorts. Find the Jupiter/Pluto midpoint, note the degree and minute, t and see if a planet or Angle are within two degrees of it. If so, you have found a key signature of success.
