France is in turmoil because after a long time away from the stages, Céline Dion will give a series of 26 concerts. She does this in Paris, in residence and the series is totally sold out. She was unable to perform for years because of her disease, the so-called stiff person syndrome, with symptoms of severe stiffness and muscle spasms, due to an autoimmune reaction affecting the nerves and muscles. Dion’s connection with France is strong because she is a Québecois, from the French-speaking part of Canada. In fact, she didn’t learn to speak English until she was 19.
South Node Youth
Her life story is very special. She was born into an extremely poor family with fourteen children. It was a poor but very warm family and very musical and you can see that at a glance in the chart, the restrictive South Node, “super-Saturn” is right on the IC of the family origin. The nodes are the axis of creation and thus they symbolize a very strong energy. Lord 4 of the family is Mercury in fall and detriment, the weakness indicates the difficult circumstances, but the conjunction with Venus in exaltation shows the musicality and the warmth of the family. The placement right on Cusp 9 points to the francophonie, French may be the language of Québec but it is surrounded by English-speaking areas.
Alpheratz
On the MC is of course the strongly expanding North Node, very good for success, on the MC is also the star Alpheratz from Andromeda, the princess chained to the island, threatened by the Sea Monster who is saved by Perseus. There was indeed a Perseus in her life, her manager and her great love René Angélil, who did everything for her, he even took out an extra mortgage on his house to finance her career in the beginning. The Venus constellation Andromeda has to do with the arts because art planet Venus is a Water planet that can temper the Waters of chaos of which the Sea Monster is the symbol, a planet is a force that structures elemental energy.
Saturn Disease
On the MC and therefore also on the expansive North Node within the usual five degree orb is Saturn, Lord 6, in a radix Lord 6 is one of the indicators of an important disease trend. Saturn is extremely nasty and harmful in fall and is of course the stiffness and the immune system, at the beginning of the Saturn-Firdar she was diagnosed with the syndrom. Saturn is in conjunction with the Sun Lord 1 and therefore has a very direct effect on the body, that conjunction is in opposition to the Venus/Mercury conjunction by antiscion, Mercury in fall and detriment is the severely weakened nervous system. Saturn is also ashes and suddenly you realize what fairy tale you are looking at. Céline is Cendrillon (cendre = ashes ), Cinderella, in Dutch Assepoester (“Ash-Blower”). On the MC/I axis with Saturn and the Nodal Axis you see Cinderella rising from the ashes, it is the soul that transcends physical limitation. Her illness is a reflection of the ashes that still cling to her. “Poesten” is blowing in Dutch, her singing is blowing the ashes away.
