We interrupt our just started mundane study to first look at a remarkable horoscope, that of Ozzie Osbourne who recently died. Without knowing anything further about his astrological positions, it is to be expected that Saturn will play a major role in his radix. He was the “Prince of Darkness”, the band with which he achieved his greatest successes, was called Black Sabbath, black was always the dominant color and his”genre” was heavy metal. It will not be a Saturn with much essential dignity, because Ozzie Osbourne mainly showed the more repulsive sides of the Great Malefic.
Almutem
And yes, his radix does not disappoint. On the MC is Saturn which in Virgo does not have any essential dignity, it is a peregrine malefic that does not give control or discipline, but swings in all directions. Saturn dominates the radix and thus the life just because of this high position, but also connects with all other planets through aspect and reception. Everything is Saturn with Ozzi! For example, there are no less than three planets in Capricorn under disposition of Saturn, which makes Saturn Almutem Figuris, the planet that is important because it has the most disposition over other planets.
Clavis
Making a trine, the planets in Capricorn are also connected to Saturn by aspect, while the Sun and Mercury make a square with it and Venus a sextile. This means Saturn is also Clavis Figuris, the key position in the chart, which is the central configuration in a radix a lot revolves around in a life. With Ozzie Ozbourne it is very obvious but also many other charts have such a key position that can give structure to the delineation. That wandering Saturn doesn’t get much direction from all those other planets, they are almost all peregine or in detriment or fall.
Talent
What stands out is the indulgent planet of desires Venus in detriment in the twelfth house of uncontrollable desires. To put it mildly, there were sometimes problems with drugs and alcohol, which is further reinforced by the Moon, that other planet of emotions and desires that is also in detriment, and by antiscion conjunct the Pars Fortunae, the great hunger! There is only one planet that does have a lot of essential dignity and that can therefore really give direction, exalted Mars, also Lord 5 of creativity, and that saves the day. But it should come as no surprise that it would be heavy metal with the two malefics Saturnus and Mars involved so much !
