Robbie Robertson (July 5, 1943 – August 9, 2023)

Another sad day, yesterday: Robbie Robertson died. I guess The Band are reassembling in Heaven.

“Look for me somewhere down the crazy river…”

His biography lists this birth time. (But, silly me, I originally thought how appropriate, as the randomized time would have been 10:27 A.M.: I forgot to change it to P.M.) There are two inconjuncts.

Mercury Inconjunct Midheaven

Recognize this tension (between what you’d been taught and your natural spontaneous views) and try to accept the fact that it exists. At the same time you should look for ways to resolve [this] by learning how to think what you want to think and still accomplish your objectives. Just make sure as you get older that you set your own objectives rather than fulfilling other people’s expectations for you. Otherwise the problem of tension could get worse, and you could wind up very confused.

Mars Inconjunct Neptune

With this aspect you must learn to stand up for yourself and demand your rights forthrightly and directly. Often you feel that you don’t have enough energy to assert yourself or that any such effort would be futile. Unfortunately, some people with this aspect learn to work behind the scenes or dishonestly. Others simply give up or take a defeatist attitude toward life.

And so did you, my friend, so did you.
