He is the King of Pop. Michael Jackson, if he were still alive today, would have turned 57 on August 29, 2015. The iconic singer, songwriter, record producer, actor, and dancer earned hundreds of accolades throughout his lifetime and beyond, making him the world’s most recognized recorded artist in popular music history. Words fail us when we try to capture the magnificence and accomplishments of this magnificent singer, whose music continues to chart even after his untimely death six years ago. For the sixth time in a row, he was the highest-paid celebrity (according to Forbes) after his death in 2014.
Jackson was a rare phenomenon, having won many Guinness World Records, Grammy Awards, American Music Awards, and other honors. And, despite his wealth and celebrity, the shining pop star’s life was fraught with ups and downs, court fights, unhappy relationships, and illnesses.
Date of Birth – 29th August 1958

Place of Birth – Gary, Indiana, USA
Michael Jackson was born under the sign of Aquarius, and the Lord of his Ascendant, Saturn, is in the 10th House of his natal chart.
On a Full Moon day, Michael Jackson was born. Full moon days are considered fortunate for the birth of artists since the Moon’s light is at its brightest. Artists born on such a day have the ability to ascend to prominence – in their lifetime.
The Moon’s location in Jackson’s Ascendant makes him creative, but it also signals frequent mood swings.
The Ascendant Lord Saturn in the 10th House indicates excellent achievement in the workplace. Furthermore, the 10th House Lord Mars makes an 8th House aspect to Jackson’s Ascendant Lord Saturn.
It is worth noting that Jackson’s Saturn Dasha began in 1972 when he first began ascending the success ladder in his musical career.
Furthermore, Saturn’s placement in his 10th House implies that he must have worked really hard to obtain his professional achievement.
Michael Jackson’s Horoscope also indicates that, while he was gifted and accomplished, he was also prone to becoming alone and tormented.
The Moon-Saturn Square aspect in his chart shows that he was a lonely person who couldn’t emotionally connect with anyone. Ganesha believes that connecting with others does not come readily to him.
Michael Jackson was known for his unusual and volatile love life. He had two marriages.
Saturn also controls the 12th House (Capricorn), which is associated with hidden or secret affairs, according to Ganesha. Saturn, as the Lord of the 12th House, aspected the 7th House of Marriage by the 10th aspect in Jackson’s chart. In addition, the Sun is regarded as a separative planet in Astrology. Both of these characteristics point to marital separation and disruption.
Mercury was weak in his horoscope because of retrogression and combustion. Furthermore, it was in his Chart’s 8th House Lord. This may have led to his becoming a loner, unable to communicate himself effectively to others. Also, throughout his Mercury Dasha (1991-2008), he steadily lost popularity and began to face challenges in several aspects of his life.
When he died, transiting Jupiter and Neptune were conjoined in Aquarius, directly opposing his Lord Mercury in the 8th House of Death. The 8th House is connected with terrible ailments and unexpected occurrences. Because Jackson’s Mercury is Natally weak, it could not endure the depleting energy that Neptune was supplying. Thus, Jupiter’s favorable aspect could not save Jackson.
Perhaps it was Jupiter’s soft soothing impact that was represented in Michael’s apparent death from an overdose of Demerol, a potent narcotic – that he slept eternally without feeling anything.
May Michael Jackson’s soul rest in peace, and may his greatness fascinate humanity forever.
