THE VOICE OF THE PLANETS

by Laura Poggiani

 

 

Occasionally I dealt with the correlation between Planets and voice: for example, comparing Luca Laurenti with Arisa and more recently Antonella Ruggiero with Silvia Mezzanotte, the two most representative singers of the Matia Bazar group. Some comments on this last article, in particular, have made me very curious and in fact, at least in Italy, there are not many studies linking the Natal Chart Planets  and the voice of someone. In fact, if much is found on the music and the Planets, even on the possibility of obtaining from the Natal Chart, combining the Planets and aspects to the musical notes, a real personalized melody does not seem to have been given too much importance instead to the more or less harmonious, more or less musical of its own tone of voice. This is at least as far as the Italian Astrology is concerned, because crossing national boundaries, as always, Astrology ranges over the most varied topics, including the tone of the voice, even if, in this case, there are many uncertainties and very few verifications.

Thus we find those who take into account the position of the Sun and its aspects, who on the contrary only take into consideration the Ascendant but most think to focus on the analysis of Mercury - communication and House 3. In the Italian scene, instead, the unique astrologer who, as we know, first and perhaps even unique, has included in her texts a precise correlation between voice and Zodiac was Lisa Morpurgo: in her Analogical Zodiac, where Mercury-House 3 is connected to hearing and ear, could only be the opposite Jupiter related to the voice. Correlation that seems to be reflected in the Sign of exaltation of Jupiter, always according to the author, that is Taurus that includes many singers with vocal chords from nightingale (Laura Pausini, Giorgia, Claudio Baglioni, Massimo Ranieri, just to give some examples) and his domicile in Pisces (Lucio Dalla, Lucio Battisti, etc.). As we said, however, no research nor statistics was made about it and therefore for now this remains a very interesting but everything to be verified.
In addition, it is easy to say "voice" but each voice has its own, so to speak, "coloration", a precise musical vibration that can appear in the ears of those who listen pleasant or, on the contrary, absolutely unpleasant, monotonous or variable, interesting or monotonous.

First of all, it must be said that the tones of the voice are essentially classified in two groups: the monotonous ones and the variable ones. The first has three subgroups: low tones, medium tones and high tones. Those variables, by definition, vary continuously, ranging from low to medium to high without maintaining a constant and are those that make communication, or singing, more interesting.
A more in-depth research, under the astrological profile, right on the tones, was performed, needless to say, by the Swiss Hans Cousto, a mathematician who assigned the tone of a different octave to each planet depending on the time it took to turn around to the Sun, assigning them a fixed frequency. Thus we have the following scheme:


Sun - Resounds at 126.22 Hz
Zodiac sign: Leo and fifth house
 
Moon - Resounds at 210.42 Hz
Zodiac sign: Cancer and fourth house
 
Mercury- Resonates at 141.27 Hz
Zodiac sign: Gemini-Virgo and third-sixth house
 
Venus- Resonates at 221.23 Hz
Zodiac sign: Toro-Libra and second-seventh house

Earth- Resonates at 194.18 Hz
Zodiac sign: center of the zodiac

Mars- Resounds at 144.72 Hz
Zodiac sign: Aries and first house
 
Jupiter- Resounds at 183.58 Hz
Zodiac sign: Sagittarius and ninth house

Saturn - Resounds at 147.85Hz
Zodiac sign: Capricorn and tenth house

Uranus- Resonates at 207.36 Hz
Zodiac sign: Aquarius and eleventh house

Neptune- Resonates at 211.44 Hz
Zodiac sign: Pisces and 12th house

Pluto- Resounds at 140.25 Hz
Zodiac sign: Scorpio and eighth house


It is obvious that the frequencies of the planets take into account various factors such as, for example, diameter, rotation speed, etc. On these frequencies a tuning fork can be synchronized, so as to hear the sound relative to that planet which, combined for appearance to others, will lead to the creation of a true and personalized planetary harmony.

However, if each planet is able to indicate a precise musical frequency, which will give a different connotation from voice to voice according to the planetary aspects that are formed in the Natal Chart, which Planet we must consider to know what kind of voice, which "coloring" so to speak, will the subject in question and above all, in the starting argument - the song - whether or not it will be a singer?

 

Up to this moment we are able to establish the following fixed points:

 
every Planet has its own frequency, therefore it seems logical that a dominant Planet in the Natal Chart will mark the voice of the native mainly with that frequency, which will then vary with other frequencies according to the aspects;

 

If Jupiter is the voice, as Morpurgo claims, Mercury clearly appears to interact in the subject as the Planet of communication and its main House, 3, further underlines how the subject intends to communicate with others. In fact, the voice can be used in many ways, not just for singing: narrators exist, for example, or the dubbers, even the actors. All professions in which the vocal timbre and the "coloring" of the voice becomes very important. For this reason, undoubtedly it will be necessary to consider the position of Mercury and here is a quick overview of its meanings in this context:

At this point, however, it appears evident how the timbre and the mode of communication are associated with Mercury and the House 3 but this factor is not sufficient to indicate the next step, that is to finalize one's own voice to the song. We can in fact have beautiful voices, maybe even be excellent communicators, but totally out of tune. Moreover, even if the voice is intoned, it does not necessarily have those indispensable characteristics to distinguish it in the singing at professional levels. To analyze this further step, we must consider another astrological factor which, in a short summary, we had already underlined in the articles to which we referred in opening: the position of Venus, as Ruler of the Sign of Taurus - traditionally associated with singing - and that easily indicates, the predisposition to this form of art.

At this point, I analyzed a sample of 209 singers taking in particular the position of the Sun in the Houses because, if Mercury expresses the way of communicating and Venus the artistic talent, the Sun indicates where the "libido" of the subject is directed. Moreover, Mercury is never more than 28 ° from the Sun, so the solar position is more decisive. The results of this survey are very interesting:

 

 

As you can see, in fact, it is not the House 2 - cosignificant of Taurus - as we would have expected, to be the Ruler, but the House I showing how, beyond the singing qualities, the subject must first possess a good dose of healthy self-centeredness. In second place we find the House 10, that of success and finally an unexpected House 8, which "makes" Scorpio. The common denominator of these 3 Houses is Mars: domiciled in Aries and Scorpio, it is exalted in Capricorn and therefore "paint" of Marzianity the Houses of singing.

Interestingly, instead, as the least populated is the mercurial House 3, that of communication, followed by the House 11 which instead is usually considered another House related to music.


Now let's analyze the position of Venus in the Houses and we will find the following data:


 
This time the major position is covered by House 9 with 27 cases, followed by Houses 1, 7, 10 and 12 with the same merit with 20 cases each. The least recurrent is House 8 with 12 cases. Note that even Venus does not deviate too much from the Sun, but now we are on a maximum distance of 45 °, therefore, if on the one hand the dense presence of Venus in Houses such as I, 9 and 12 may seem obvious for the massive presence more on the survey of the Sun in Houses 1 and 10, it is worth noting that House 9 and 12 can bring Venus very close to the MC and the ASC, in the Gauqueline area, underlining the artistic skills or the success obtained through the art, in this case the song. The same interpretation, that is, success through art / song, applies to the position of Venus in House 10.


Also here it should be noted that it is not particularly relevant, as we would have expected, House 2 with only 14 cases while the 19 cases of House 6 are interesting: this is the home of work, therefore the immediate interpretation is of "working profession" through singing or art " but also here it is worth noting how easily the star can fall into the Gauqueline area of ​​conjunction, on the right side, to the DS.

 

A PRACTICAL EXAMPLE: ANDREA BOCELLI

 


He was born in Pisa on 22 September 1958 at 5.15 am.

Discovered by Zucchero Fornaciari, who made his song heard by the great Pavarotti who was impressed by him, Andrea soon achieved an almost global success, with over 80 million records sold to his credit.
His Natal Chart has a strong characterization of the Sign of the Virgin, which together with Pisces often signals serious problems of sight, placing, as already underlined by this small research, the Sun in House 1: our uses a lot of energy in his activity and in those collateral (just remember the recent opening of a prestigious bathhouse in Versilia).

Venus, in the light of the above, occupies a truly impeccable position: joined to Mercury, with only 2 ° of distance, "sitting" on the Asc. with only 3 ° away! Art and communication therefore vibrate in Andrea's astrological DNA, strengthened by the conjunction between Jupiter / Neptune in house 2, traditionally associated with song and image which, with these two planets, are powerful and massive. In this case, with a Mercury in such a strong position, Ruler of the ASC and of the Sun, to which is added the conjunction Jupiter / Neptune enhanced by a sextile to Pluto, Andrea turns out to be a good empathic communicator: he recently wrote an autobiographical book from which a film was extracted.
