Max Headroom Incident (November 22, 1987)
I’d heard about this, and never thought anything more about it. But, because the details are so specific, I wondered what the event charts would show us.
This is the first attempt @ 9:14 pm on WGN TV. The Neptune (almost exact) inconjunct with the Ascendant may be the clue. But the 17 second interruption was quickly fixed by the WGN engineers. So, not a successful broadcast…
The second attempt, this time @ 11:15 pm on WTTN in the middle of a Dr. Who program airing. This time was more successful, lasting almost 90 seconds, with sound. The triple inconjunct between the Moon/Venus/Uranus conjunction and the Midheaven @ 25° Taurus may have been the reason. The Ascendant had moved on to 0° Virgo. Jupiter is still trine to the same four planets (the Moon, Venus, Saturn and Uranus) as the first attempt. Including the Sun, there are five ‘planets/lights’ as a stellium in Sagittarius all in the 4th House of Home.
With a fourth house stellium, your home, family, and heritage are typically an incredibly important part of your life and are the determining factor of many of your decisions in life. The planets involved can add more context to the relationship you have with your parents as well as your lineage, and, because this house is at the very bottom of the chart, it can also indicate that you’re someone who prioritizes privacy.
I suspect the ‘experiment’ of invading the homes of the people watching TV would be considered a breakthrough. All I know is that it cannot be done now since television broadcasting and reception are digital. Anyway, it’s fascinating, for sure.
