Almuten: Merc (Hot, more Dry)
Venus sextile ASC (Hot, Wet)
Gendered body type: Gemini rising, and the majority of planets aspecting the ASC and almuten are masculine: body inclines more towards masculine. Modal type: Motive (2nd decan Gemini): long rectangle (Gemini) with a triangle (decan). Longish, masculine body with broader shoulders and narrower waist and hips. Height and weight: tall (Gemini), esp. with all the masculine motive planets aspecting the almuten and ASC. Planetary body type: Prime Motivation:－Dom/almuten: Mercury. In 4th, retrograde, sunbeams, angular. Afflicted by Saturn. Tries through the family, using speech, ideas, and business. Somewhat successful here, with fear, setbacks, and difficulties.
－Trip: Mercury. See above.
－Trip: Jupiter. In 5th, triplicity, succeedent. Through entertainments, children, having fun, esp. through singing, travel, generosity and money-related ventures. Successful here.
－Decan: Mars. In 12th, detriment, cadent. Through his private life. Unsuccessful here. Aspecting ASC:－Sextile Venus by 3.04. Adds a love of home and family; a nice home and family.
Quality of Mind: Moon is stronger; no relation between them; moon squares ASC. Native lives more according to the pleasures of the senses than the intellect; and these will tend to diverge from and conflict with the intellect. Emotions/desires are more changeable and it is difficult for him to know what he seeks; but his mind is more fixed and stable. The thrust of his mind is honest, gentle (Jupiter disposes Moon, sextiles both Mercury and Mercury’s dispositor). Afflictions show less stability and sharpness: harshness of emotions: Mars shows a quarrelsome mind and unjust; Saturn shows dishonest emotions. Lilly’s method shows Saturn (good condition) and Mars (bad condition) as signifying manners because they aspect Mercury and the Moon. See above. 注：对Motivation和Mind的分析是对本命信息的深度挖掘。Motivation以命主星为出发点，Mind则是水星和月亮，考察的依据仍是以行星的主宰特性和关联行星的影响为主，这部分读一读可以开阔思路。 Triplicity rulers of Angles: MC: Same.注：第一部分的分析小结。前面的细节已经分析得很细致，小结也是如此，佩服这位高人的水星。
Rank of fame deals with the native’s reputation and the actual level of social contribution and power/influence he or she operates at. So it is a kind if mixture of what other people think, along with the real actions and influence that affect (and effect) reputation. The sun is used as a natural significator of fame, along with the MC, plus some other considerations such the “slavery” considerations: e.g., how powerful the malefics are versus the benefics and luminaries. In medieval astrology, people with malefics more pronounced tend to have a lower quality of life, encounter more difficulties and struggle – which clearly affects one’s rank of fame. Below I also use profections, firdaria, and primary directions to determine times of fame and increased reputation. N.B.: I did some quick research on the internet to find dates of album releases and so on, since those are obvious signs of fame. But I often found that different websites have conflicting dates (or even the year!) of some releases. And Sony leaves out a number of things I had to find elsewhere. If anyone else knows of events that match the dates below, I’d be grateful (I really don’t feel like reading his whole autobiography!) 上面是对Rank of Fame分析的说明，包括对本命分析涉及的领域，以及个人发展的后天运。 Sun
Sextile Jupiter: the native is known as generous, expansive, philosophical, native often exaggerates.
Planets in the 10th: Moon. Angular; afflicted by Saturn. Planets aspecting the MC: Venus opposes by 1.33, Mars squares by 3.15, Saturn sextiles by 0.16. Rulers of MC:－ Mercury. Angular, retrograde, sunbeams, afflicted by Mars.
Saturn (strongest, most testimonies): involve difficult partnerships and contentions with enemies; hard work, discipline, suspicion.
Luminaries angular; benefics angular/succeedent.
Liber Hermetis:
Mercury is oriental and aspects the Sun. Saturn is occidental and aspects the Moon. Their almutens are Jupiter and the Sun: each is strong, unafflicted. This adds more fame, honor, entertainment, pleasure that the native is known for. 5 planets are angular and 4 aspect the angles; Moon is afflicted. The native has a fairly strong social functioning. Liber Hermetis、Firmicus、Doryphory是三位著名的占星家，这三个人不是同时代的人，代表了不同的时代，所以各自的方法不同。Ben同时列出了三个分析依据，可谓是非常细致。 When Firdaria of the Sun:Oct 1963 – Feb 1965 (age 5-6): Jackson 5 comes to fame.
Feb 82 – Oct 83 (age 23-25): Thriller released, huge international star.
Jul 2019 – Aug 2020 (age 61-62):
Profection of the 10th to itself:
Age 36 (1994): Highly publicized marriage to Lisa Marie Presley; first scandal over boy erupts.
Age 60 (2018): Primary directions:ASC to square Sun: Sept 1965 (age 7): not sure.
MC to conjunct Moon (planet in 10th): Mar 1984 (age 25): not sure.
Sun to square Jupiter: Nov 97 (age 39): unsure; Blood on the Dance Floor released in November.
Sun to conjunct Jupiter (converse): June 2010 (age 51)
Summary: Native will achieve fame on account of his family, and will be known as being generous, philosophical, and as an exaggerator [could this be extravagance and excess, esp. because of the 5th house location of Jupiter? He has been criticized for his exaggerated sense of self]. He will be known for actions involving difficult partnerships and contentions with enemies, hard work, suspicion, along with self-destructive actions and afflictions by enemies. (He will also be known because of his professional activities, which are related to arts, music, entertainment – see professional delineation in later installment). As time passes the native’s reputation will become more difficult and afflicted, but generally speaking his fame remains strong, and he will probably achieve a rather high level of fame, with important social functioning. As for periods when fame is achieved, see above. But note: Thriller came out and brought great fame during the period of the firdar of the Sun and Jupiter (Feb 82 – Oct 83) and the profection of the 10th to itself (Aug 82-83). The Sun is the natural significator of fame, but Jupiter sextiles him and shares in the doryphory rulership, so this would make sense. From Oct 2009 – Mar 2011, his firdaria rulers are again the Sun and Jupiter, and the converse direction of the Sun to Jupiter takes place in roughly June 2010, as does the Sun directed to oppose the Moon. His life (ASC) and actions (MC) should be ruled by their third triplicity ruler Jupiter by that time, so I would expect this period, especially 2010, to be a time of increased fame, social functioning and happiness. See above for other matches between predictive techniques and life events.Moon (10th) – I already said this involves glamour
Venus (4th)
Sun (4th)
Favor Venus and Mercury; Venus is closer to the cusp so gets favored.
Rulers of angles (all of which are almutens, too):
10th: Saturn. Angular, triplicity, unafflicted, trined by Venus, aspecting MC closest of all.
4th: Sun. angular, unafflicted.
Don’t make Mercury the main significator because Venus is more angular and aspects the MC. But he should be considered secondary because of his rulership of the 1st and his angularity.
The native’s “profession” or personal skill that wants to be expressed, is related to activities in music, theater, entertainment, and pretty things, and professions related to women’s finery. Look for professions that involve visibility and personal presence or even glamour. The previous delineation of Rank of Fame showed that the native does experience fame, so it is reasonable that what he is famous for is also his profession (instead of it being a special hobby unrelated to his day job).
The native’s skill is high; but there is danger of incarceration, troubles, condemnation, on account of hidden enemies or self-destruction on account of it.
对于Michael Jackson的事业综合小结。后面第四部分将是对Michael Jackson的财富分析。
第四部分分析Michael Jackson的财富情况。2宫、福点、以及与财富联系紧密的行星是考察的重点对象。
< Michael Jackson Financial Significator >
This delineation focuses both on a cluster of significators of wealth (Jupiter, Moon, rulers of the 2nd) and a special significator that is supposed to show where the native makes his wealth, whether by good or bad means, etc. Then there are some predictive techniques (some of which I omit since I don’t know the state of his income levels!)
One thing not apparent in this delineation is that the financial significator is found through a ranking system: starting with the POF, you see if each candidate meets certain criteria. If it fails, you reject it as the significator and move to the next one. The more you reject, the poorer the native is. In MJ’s case, the POF is in a good situation, with a very benefic Jupiter as its dispositor – so it was the significator, indicates strong, wealth, and there was no need to go any further.
上面是对财富状况分析的出发点说明。这里提到了一个ranking system，古典占星理论中充斥着这样和那样的ranking system，在本命的多个领域都可以派上用场，当然，也可以忽视这些相对客观的记点方式，直接从盘中推导结论，方法的选择在于人。
General
1. Rulers of the 2nd:
Exalted: Jupiter. Succeedent in 5th, in triplicity and unafflicted.
Triplicity: Venus. Angular in 4th. Afflicted by square to Mars. She can perform but not at high level.
Term: Mars. See above.
Jupiter: The native’s strongest and most lasting source of income by this method is through activities involving entertainment (5th), children (5th), travel, teaching (Jupiter by nature).
这是对2宫状况的分析，也是决定财富的焦点因素。2宫的主宰星为月亮，落10宫强，但土星相位 会导致不稳定，作为耗财因素，土星对冲着上升点构成对其生命历程的障碍源之一，Jackson的财也多损失在这里，月亮的主宰星为木星，木星也处于强势， 表明盘主拥有很强的赚钱能力。另外，由于木星相对强势，落于5宫，所以盘主的财富来源于5宫所代表的事务。
2. Triplicity rulers of 2nd corresponding to 1/3 of life:
Second third: Venus. Angular, afflicted by Mars. Income strong.
See above.
4. Moon (another natural significator)
a. Part of Fortune (3 Sag 29). Unafflicted. Triplicity ruler Sun aspects it, and the Sun is himself unafflicted and strong.
The POF is the special financial significator. Being at the top of the list, it shows wealth and ease in getting it. Its dispositor is Jupiter, succeedent and unafflicted in the 5th – again, from entertainments, etc.
By quadrant, its almuten is Mars. By whole sign houses, its almuten is Jupiter.
POF in the 6th: native gets wealth from subordinates and people who attend to him. (Could this mean fans?)
By whole sign houses, the almuten of the POF is Jupiter (see above).
By what activities:
Again, the ruler is Jupiter. He sextiles the Sun, significator of fame. So the native makes his money by licit and laudable means.
上面是对福点的分析，福点是独立指标，其主宰星是重点，主宰Jackson的福点是木星，木星的地位再一次体现了出来。
Location of the ruler of the ASC:
Triplicity rulers (see above): in the latter 2/3 of life.
Primary direction of POF:
Oppose ASC: August 1988 (Age 29-30)
Trine Sun: Feb 1997 (Age 38)
The native’s wealth is strong and comes easily. His most lasting and strong source of income some on account of activities involving entertainment, fun, children, teaching and traveling. He will have important managerial responsibilities in earning it, and he will make his money by licit and laudable means.
His family and property will also play a positive role in his accumulation of wealth.
He may also gain wealth on account of subordinates or people serving him; and institutions or secret enemies or otherwise things that confine and restrict him. [Note: if this is correct, perhaps it means fans and restrictive contracts and managers? I favor Jupiter, but there may be something to this.]
His wealth will be greatest in the last 2/3 of life, and there will be an extra emphasis on finances from 1978-90. [Note his great fame and wealth during this period, especially the Jupiter-Sun firdar – Jupiter is wealth, the Sun fame, and they are strong and in aspect in the natal figure.]
对于Michael Jackson的财富分析小结。之后第五部分将是对Michael Jackson的婚姻分析。
第五部分分析Michael Jackson的婚姻情况。作者对这部分的分析极其细致，内容显得非常冗长，是几个部分中篇幅最多的一部，完整看完需要耐心，当然，我认为为之付出这份耐心是值得的。有人解盘习惯列出判断原因，有人习惯直接论述结果，有分析依据的文章篇幅会多些，好处就是可读性更强。
纵观这部分内容，作者从多个侧面归纳一个人的婚姻状况，包括了对第七宫及其宫主星的状况、月亮（代表女性配偶，男性为日）、金星、婚姻点、火星、日月等六 个方面，根据文中列出的分析依据，我们可以了解到作者对婚姻分析的主要脉络。作者的分析思路不能在总体上代表古典占星的应用，只是一部分有代表性的观点， 占星方法的选择取决于人，不同的人会有各自的研判法则和侧重。文中部分细节分析或许会给人有添足的感觉，但由于它们都是建基在最基础的占星理论之上，只要 了解这些基础知识，就不难理解其应用，有兴趣的可以根据自己的体会汲取有益的部分。
< Michael Jackson Marriage Delineation >
This is a complex and interesting sort of delineation, having a number of steps. I’ll make comments about technique as I go along to give you the general gist.
The main thing in these considerations is how the marriage functions and contributes to flourishing and objective satisfaction (and by extension, reproduction), rather than finding a soul-mate. As far back as Plato people have talked about romantic partners as soul-mates, but the key functional questions are: will he marry, how many times, is it a good match, are they sexually compatible, will his social status and functioning be more upward and beneficial?
Part of Men’s Marriage is: 12 Aqu 21
上面是对婚姻分析的序言，后面列出的Part of Men’s Marriage是婚姻点，落在水瓶座12度21分，这个指标在后面会用到。
Planets in 7th: Saturn, angular, triplicity, unafflicted. Square Moon, trine Mercury, trine Venus, oppose Asc, sextile MC.
Rulers:
Exalted: none.
Triplicity: Sun. Angular and unafflicted in the 4th, aided by sextile to Jupiter.
Term: Venus.
(Jupiter has the most testimonies)
Saturn in the 7th and Jupiter the domicile ruler, each unafflicted and strong and each aspecting the Lord of the ASC by benefic aspects, the native does marry. But the native’s relationships will be burdened and hard work, and will be a burden on his personal happiness (Saturn oppose ASC). Look for the native’s finances and reputation to be negatively affected by his relationships (Saturn square Moon, Lord of 2nd and in 10th); there is generally a professional element to his marriages (Saturn sextile MC).
The native’s marriage is related to his Jupiterian entertainments and pursuits: generosity, travel, humanitarianism (in Libra) – so he will meet at least one wife through these or on account of these; by derived houses, he might meet her through her friends. Saturn as Lord of the 10th in the 7th, the native’s relationships come about through his professional work and through people of authority and high status (strong, moderately dignified Saturn Lord of 10th, in 7th and aspecting Moon in the 7th).
上面是对7宫及其宫主星的分析。Jackson的7宫内落入土星，此为婚姻的考验之一，土星与代表女性的月亮关系紧张，考验之二，宫主星木星落在天平，无不利相位的干扰，貌似不错，但其所处位置属性为火，在燃烧之路区域内，影响木星的正面能量发挥不够充分。
通过宫内星与其它行星和宫位的关系，可以将婚姻与生活中其它领域联系起来。另外，文里还提到了对衍生宫位的运用，因为代表配偶的木星落入其11宫，所以得出了盘主可能是通过社交或朋友介绍的方式与对方相识。
Marriage Significators and Almuten:
Jupiter (Lord 7th): Succeedent and unafflicted.
Moon: Angular and afflicted by square Saturn.
Part MM: Cadent (afflicted).
Jupiter is the almuten of these (= Marriage Almuten)
The majority are afflicted, and Saturn is malefic (albeit helped by the trine to Venus).
But note the marriage almuten’s good condition: this suggests that they will be of benefit to him despite the problems.
7th house on Sagittarius, a fire sign and mutable, the native marries two women.
The Lord of the ASC is lighter than, and joined to, the almuten of the 7th: the native wants to copulate with women.
这部分是在7宫及其主宰星的基础上，纳入了其它分析元素，通过综合各个元素的优劣得出婚姻的综合结果，这种形式也有点量化评价的感觉。Part MM指的是前面提到过的Part of Men’s Marriage，因为落在9宫水瓶而被认失势。作者指出Jackson因为7宫起点落在射手（火相、变动型星座）而会有二次婚姻，这个依据如果不结合其它因素一同说明，会显得结论过于武断。
The Part is cadent, but in the 9th and otherwise unafflicted. Its Lord is Saturn, angular and unafflicted. Venus aspects both, though she is afflicted.
Moon afflicted and in triplicity. The wife’s social class is middling. Note that the natal figure shows the native will be wealthy and prominent, so she is probably below him in status.
Extra technique: Lords of the 7th, Part of Marriage, Moon, and Venus not aspecting [i.e., receiving] them – the native will not marry or won’t like women.
通过对婚姻点、月亮的分析推断配偶的情况，这部分说得不算细致，对月亮的分析后面有专门的部分处理。这里提到的根据7宫主、婚姻点、月金相互相位的研判技巧，看得不明所以。
2. Moon: Luminary signifying opposite sex (in male nativities)
This consideration evaluates the appropriateness the wife and the joy of the marriage. What I find interesting about this part is that if more than one wife is indicated, the number of planets aspecting the Moon indicates the number and nature of the wives. Here I exclude the Sun since I want to treat him in terms of his general role in showing the stability of the marriages (see below).
She is angular, but afflicted by Saturn, in her 3rd quarter. Her triplicity rulers are: Mars (very afflicted), Venus (angular, afflicted), and herself (angular, afflicted).
The Moon and Venus are each strong in quantity but all afflicted. So this is more testimony for a middling marriage of average happiness, with affliction.
Moon’s aspects:
Sextile Mars: the wife is headstrong; arguing, unstable.
Mars square Venus, with Mercury also involved. Mars is in detriment, afflicting her from the 12th. So the native’s sex drive is unusual or wild.
Venus trine Saturn, with Mercury involved. The wife is older, and there is a public dimension to the marriage.
All three planets together, the marriage is not durable or useful.
Overall, the sexuality situation is unstable – propriety mixed with an unusual or wild sex drive. Mars cadent and in detriment, this could be sexual dysfunction or strange sex interests. Note: If Saturn had squared Venus, I would have said the sexuality issued tended toward the really unusual, criminal, disgusting.
Since Mars and Saturn each indicate a wife, and since they each play different roles in this section, I’m tempted to separate them somewhat: although they all characterize MJ’s sexuality, the Saturnian wife is older, it is a publicized marriage, it is less sexual and more gloomy; the Martial marriage is the one that is the more unusual, with sexual irregularities. Mars in the 12th, the wife is kept more hidden [which is true]?
对性欲的深度分析，是对金火土三星组合情况的考察。火星代表欲望和性能力，金星是情爱，土星代表有孛常伦或有争议的观念或行为。行星组合分析是古典占星的 重要内容之一，灵活运用可以用来推导潜藏信息。Jackson的火星对金星相位除了显示出强烈欲望外，也透露出难以得到满足或可能存在非正常的偏好（火 12宫陷且受到禁闭），金星的情爱和谐度同时也被土星压制着，这里作者指出Jackson的金土相位好在是120度，如果是90度则可能会招致麻烦甚至犯 罪。Jackson的土星是8宫之主，所以土星的好坏具有更突出的影响。
其实，对于很多难以在盘中得到直接答案的信息，可以通过多颗行星的组合影响去推导，这个分析过程灵活度很高，而且对于现代社会相对于以前社会不突出的个别问题（如同性恋），这些没有单一模式可循的信息，就更需要学会灵活利用盘中的关键点去推导。
6. Predicting the Marriages
Profection of the ASC:
To the house where the domicile ruler of the 7th is: 28, 40, 52
To the house containing its domicile ruler: 34, 46, 58
Period of the Lords of the 1st and 7th (Mercury-Jupiter): Jul 85 – Mar 87
None of these dates/ages match. But in my (limited) experience, the profections will often show the age at which the future spouses met or became seriously involved, as opposed to the actual ceremony. I would be grateful if anyone knew when he actually met/got involved with each of his wives. Plus, since the firdaria period (ages 27-28) overlaps with some of the profection dates, perhaps his 1988 autobiography might talk about a romance taking place at that time?
对Jackson的婚运推导还是使用Profection、Primary direction、Firdaria三种方法，有兴趣的可以结合Jackson的历史事件看看。
7. Summary:
The native does marry. He marries at least twice, though not necessarily in this order:
1. A Saturnian wife who is difficult, hardworking and inflexible. [I believe this is Presley]
最后这部分是分析Michael Jackson的子女情况。这部分的内容可以说与通常我们分析子女宫的情况大相径庭，其背后蕴藏的深层次的知识根源需要细细品味。This is also an interesting technique, because it treats the 5th house last, favoring the 1st, 10th, 11th and 7th. The fact that the other houses are looked to first, suggests that children in general add to the strength and lastingness of the native’s life, and hold hopes that his/her name will continue – hence those houses are looked to first. It gives me an idea why children are associated with the 5th. My hypothesis is that they are in the 5th by derived houses: by being 2nd from the 4th, they are the helpers/allies/assets of the household. Deb, what do you think of this?
这里作者指出了对子女的分析，可优先考察1、10、11和7宫最后再分析5宫的观点，子女对父母而言，起到了支持维系的作用。这个思路完全不同于常规只重于对5宫分析的方式，是否有效，有兴趣的可以遵循下面的分析过程去验证。
Part of Children (by night, distance from Sat to Jup, project from ASC): 23 Aries 39
The Significator of Children (an almuten of certain house cusps and planets) is Jupiter.
子女点落于白羊23度39，子女的征象星为木星。这里征象星是通过对特定宫位和行星的记点后得出了木星，作者没有详细说明记点的算法，对于外行人来说留下了个盲点。
Houses, Signs, Planets
11th house: Pisces, very fruitful.
7th house: Sagittarius, rather fruitful. Saturn in 7th – denies children.
Triplicity lords of Jupiter: all occidental, he has children after his youth is over.
Profection of ASC to 5th: 28, 40, 52.
So the native has several children, a middling to high amount for his culture, after his youth is over (38-40, 50-52), and they serve him. He and they have a good relationship, they bring goodness and joy. There is an argument that at least one will shrink from social contacts or be sickly (but signs of serious affliction aren’t present).
Note: He had children at age 38, 39 (not sure when his 3rd child was born).
最后关于子女分析的小结，Jackson的子女多且关系融洽，但个别子女状况不佳（前面有提到土星的相位）。这部分小结相对前面几个部分简单了些。
