I have followed George Michael's career for many years and I consider him to be a truly gifted artist. However, it has become apparent over the years that for a person who sought out fame so fervently in his early years, he does not handle it very well. Is this contradiction depicted in his birth chart?
He has a Cancer Ascendant, therefore his most personal planet is the Moon which rules it. The Moon is in Leo. So, yes, he feels special. Good thing that he truly is, because Leos very often feel special but have nothing to show for it. The Lights are in mutual reception and the Moon trines Jupiter, his most elevated planet, completely in hayz (a diurnal planet, in a diurnal chart, diurnally placed, in a diurnal sign) and ruler of the MC. Also, the Sun is in a mixed mutual reception with Jupiter. Impressive, isn't it? Jupiter, no doubt, intensifies this Moon's hunger for success and recognition. So, success he wanted and success he got. So what is his problem?
His problem lies with the Moon's most important aspect, the opposition to Saturn in Capricorn. All the planets that promise success have a problem with Saturn. The Moon and the Sun are in the signs of Saturn's detriment. Jupiter, as well, is in the sign of Saturn's fall. However, Saturn is essentially dignified, being in Aquarius and is in a tight, applying aspect to the Moon, the Ascendant ruler, so it is not going to give up easily. By being dignified, Saturn is probably going to behave well, but even Saturn's best behaviour violently opposes the energies of Cancer, Leo and Aries. So, Saturn is going to be a problem.
Most of these problems will have the Moon as their primary target, because of the opposition. The Moon, as the Ascendant ruler, will determine things like external behaviour, physical appearance etc. Was he shy? Yes. Did he find his physical appearance below standard? Yes. Saturn rules the 7th house (relationships, "other people") so, yes, he finds other people annoying, attempting to invade his privacy.
What's interesting is that the Moon is right on the cusp of the 3rd house (everyday movement) if you use the Placidus house system and he has had constant problems with driving. So far, nothing serious has happened, but he should be more careful, because Saturn also rules his 8th house and his luck could eventually run out. Let's hope not. He has already experienced Saturn as an 8th house ruler with the death of his lover, Anselmo Feleppa, back in the early nineties.
His official site is currently being revamped awaiting a big announcement. I'll keep my fingers crossed for a new album. We need more George Michael music in this day and age.
