Live Aid (July 13, 1985)

Time flies. Memories fade, a little. My second wife and I spent Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning in London on that weekend, celebrating our 7th wedding anniversary. Due to the overwhelming influx of people into the capital, we couldn’t find a hotel room, so we slept in the doorway of a shop overnight. Then we walked to Covent Garden for breakfast, the next day. It was memorable, for sure.

This time there were no inconjuncts, so what you saw was what you got: great music, and even greater entertainment.

Comparing the Chart with Live 8 (July 2, 2005)

There is a question that occurs in every generation: can lightning strike twice? If the astral conditions are similar, there’s always a chance. Let’s take a look at the 20th anniversary concert called Live 8, with the original one.

The Sun is about 10° earlier, but the Moon is about 2° earlier. That’s interesting. Pluto (Live 8) is inconjunct with the original Sun/Mars conjunction (Live Aid). That made this second event more political than the first. Neptune (Live 8) is within 3° of the original Jupiter (Live Aid): same idea, different result. Notice, too, that the Live 8 concert took place 5 days before the bombing of the London Underground (July 7, 2005). The elements of that event are contained within the Live 8 chart.

Nothing happens that doesn’t impinge on other events.
