Gordon Pinsent (July 12, 1930 – February 25, 2023)

Sometimes, peoples’ favourites come in threes: Gordon Lightfoot, Gordie Downie, and this man, Gordon Pinsent. (Of course, there’s also Gordie Howe, after all we are Canadian.)

This birth time is on several astrology as ‘rectified from approximate time’. Really? It’s more likely that they chose sunrise, forgetting that Newfoundland is a half-hour earlier than the Maritime time zone. There is one inconjunct linking Saturn with the Leo Ascendant. I shouldn’t rely on that aspect too much.

However, the T-square(s) linking the opposition between Saturn and Jupiter, with Uranus on the square. The Uranus/Midheaven conjunction is square to a Sun/Pluto conjunction, too. The Rowdyman label is well-deserved, I think. His popularity is enhanced by the Moon in Aquarius on the Descendant.

I’ve set the clock for noon on the day that he died. The planets and lights are all above the horizon line. Hmm. Mars is conjunct the ‘fatal’ Ascendant.

Combining his birth and death charts reveals a spider’s web of aspects, too many to unpick here.
