John was brought up by his mother’s sister, his ‘Auntie Mimi’, in middle-class Liverpool, doing quite well at school, and showing a considerable interest in music, inspired by artists such as Elvis Presley and Little Richard. John Lennon kept in contact with his mother, who brought him his first Guitar and also taught him to play the Banjo and Piano. He eventually attended the Liverpool College of Art, and, after being traumatised by the untimely death of his mother, he formed a close friendship with Paul McCartney. He met his first wife, Cynthia, at the College, and after becoming disruptive and failing his exams, he eventually dropped out of the College, with no qualifications. John Lennon started the ‘Skiffle’ group the ‘Quarrymen’, writing songs, eventually teaming up with Paul McCartney and George Harrison and Stuart Sutcliffe, using various names for the band, eventually becoming ‘The Beatles’.
As their ‘Manager’, Allan Williams promoted the Beatles in Hamburg, but it was the early 1960’s before the band became famous, with Ringo Starr on the drums. Stuart Sutcliffe died in 1962. The Lennon/McCartney partnership produced songs such as ‘Love Me Do’, ‘From Me to You’, and many others.
The group gradually went to pieces after the death of their manager, Brian Epstein in 1967, and John Lennon left the group in 1969. John Lennon had a son, Julian, with his first wife Cynthia, later divorcing her and marrying ‘Yoko Ono’, eventually having a son, Sean, with her. This period of his life was quite erratic, with his interest in ‘Left-Wing Politics and ‘Revolutionary’ groups being foremost. John Lennon produced the album ‘Imagine’, in 1971, which became an album for ‘Anti-Religion’ and ‘Anti-War’ movements. He made his last ‘Musical’ appearance in 1975, although he wrote an impressive amount of material in 1980.
Although loved for his music, John Lennon was also known for his wit and bizarre behaviour, and his constant battle to stay in the United States.
John Lennon was shot dead in New York City, outside his apartment, on December 8th 1980.


THE FIRST HOUSE... (ARIES RISING SIGN.)
SELF-PROJECTION.

Self-Projection means, the way one projects themselves out into the public eye, how others see them, though not necessarily how they really are. The 1st. House indicates how one goes through life, the basic energy to secure what is needed as an instinctive self-projective measure, either within an aggressive or defensive mode. Those who have the Aries Rising Sign really project the 'Self' as one who goes straight to the point of what is wanted. There is a tendency to be head-strong and wilful, no sooner has one set one's sight on what is wanted than one sets about attaining whatever it is. The Aries Rising Sign does not think about the consequences of any action, the speed of action is automatic and without consideration and so, for this reason the Aries Rising Sign person might well be accident-prone, rushing ahead so that one's head being the part that meets with collision.
One likes to be first in line and does not have time to wait for others. However, there are times when, if captured in some way and forced to slow down and wait, then the fiery attitude can become somewhat aggressive, though this action is not long-lasting and the fire burns out quickly. One dislikes being held back and likes to show a free spirit to the world. To the Aries Rising Sign the world is forever a brave new world and one wants to be the first to take what is there to take. It’s a case that one might never have the time or patience to wait for others to catch up, the Aries Rising Sign likes to be upfront and always in the lead, chasing new adventures with the spirit of a child. Although this might seem selfish to some, The Aries Rising Sign does not mean to be abrupt or rude, one simply lives in a world where it’s ‘First Come-First Served’... And this means one does not mean to be late or last in the queue!
The Zodiac Sign of Aries indicates the nature of 'Me First', it is the nature of the child who wants what is sees. And when the Zodiac Sign of Aries is seated in the 1st. House then one projects the self as 'Self-Assured' and confident, a leader, one who is forever seeking new forms of adventure, to see and conquer new worlds.
This does not mean that those with an Aries Rising Sign are mercenary or greedy. It's often the case that they will, having gained what it is they wanted, give the 'Spoils' away to those who follow, the 'Camp-Followers'. In this way, it is explained that the 'Winning' is the important thing, the medals and gold cups are disposable materials which hold no further interest. What you have just read is the basic traits in the Aries Rising Sign. But what is explained now is a fuller interpretation of John Lennon's psychological 'Inner-Sense' as to how he, as an Aries Rising Sign, had projected himself out into the world.
To gain this insight one has to discover the exact location of the Ruling planet of Aries, to discover under what Zodiac Sign the Ruling planet is domiciled and in what Housing. The Ruling planet of Aries is the activating and aggressive planet of Mars and it is seen, in John Lennon's Birth Chart, that the planet of Mars is domiciled in the Zodiac Sign of Libra, in the 6th. House.
When the planet Mars 'Extends' from its 'Parent' Aries into the Zodiac Sign of Libra then the energy is to have a strong sense of 'Fair-Play' and what is 'Just' and right. For this reason, John Lennon would act quickly to fight for the 'Underdog', to take up the cause of those whom are abused in any way, he waves the sword of justice, even though the actions can be impetuous if the feelings become involved. It can be a question of act first and ask questions later. In this way, John Lennon might strike while the iron is hot then ask others if they thought he was right! At such times he would need assurance from others that he had not taken the law into his own hands. In many respects, there is a strong sense of vanity within the make-up, that John Lennon would, at times, force his thinking and strength of 'Will' on others, seeing himself as the 'Leader of the Opposition'.
The 6th. House indicates areas of 'Co-Operation', how one works with fellow co-workers and, with the planet Mars seated in the 6th. House there would always be a form of 'Power-Struggle' and differences of opinion as to what would work in the best and fairest interests of the work-force. Again, such moves would often come from forms of 'Self-Interest', in that whilst it would seem that John Lennon fought for the best interest of those he worked among, his aggressive actions would be decisive as to whom of the workforce would 'Follow' his ideas about who was the 'Boss'.
Psychologically, with this combination of Mars in Libra in the 6th. House of his Birth Chart, John Lennon would challenge the working rights of the 'Workers', seeing himself as one who will stand up for those whom could not defend themselves. He saw himself as a leader of the subjugated, a 'Freedom-Fighter', fighting for 'Fair-play'. Others might see him as one whom interfered with the laws of the land, a politician whom lacked the delicacy of diplomacy and tact!

************************************************************************************************

THE SECOND HOUSE.
FINANCIAL SECURITY.

What is meant by Financial Security is the way in which one protects the self through the sense of material possessions. It implies the need to own possessions in a practical way, to slowly build up what is needed so that it gives a solid foundation, a sense of Financial Security. One might save up and buy a house so that roots are put down, a base from which one can continue to work, to have space for more possessions. The implication is that the 2nd. House indicates an area of what is needed, what one needs to possess in life as a practical building block so that you feel secure. With the Zodiac Sign of Taurus covering the 2nd. House one will be determined to acquire the best of things, the best money can buy. It is not greed but a sense of what can be of value which is the attractive quality. So one will save up for the things one wants, understanding the value of possessions. When it comes to acquisition of personal possessions, one is never rushed. One builds up with patience, being practical and down-to-earth with negotiations. One is businesslike and knows a bargain when one is seen. One likes to understand that, whatever is bought will rise in value over a time. For this reason, property and items of good taste will always be of interest. One does not dream about ownership, one puts in a practical application to purchase whatever gives one a sense of Financial Security.
With the combination of Taurus covering the 2nd. House, one might well enjoy gardening, to take time in 'Growing' things and cultivating what gives a sense of 'Rooted Stability'. Again, one might well have a liking for the finer things in life when it comes to food and wine. But first comes the idea of property and those things which give a sense of security. If one looks in junk-shops, then one might look for antiques. In all this, one understands the art of a patient build-up and will wait for as long as it takes to get what is wanted. When it comes to finance the understanding is that those with capital ‘Back-Up’ are the ones who can afford to feel financially secure, and this is all about ‘Financial Security. It’s not that there is a dislike for art, one has ‘Good Taste’, it’s just that one needs to know that what is bought will yield a dividend and not just be a ‘Pretty Picture’. One with this combination will want the artwork ‘Undersigned’ as a mark of one's 'Approval', of the artwork being 'Gold-Edged'!
To gain a deeper understanding of how John Lennon would use his sense of Financial Security there is a need to seek out the Ruling planet of Taurus, to find exactly where the Ruling planet of Taurus is situated, under what Zodiac Sign the Ruling planet is domiciled and in what Housing.
It is known that the Ruling planet of Taurus is the 'Practical' and 'Material' planet of Venus and it is seen from John Lennon's Birth Chart that the planet Venus is domiciled in the Zodiac Sign of Virgo, in the 5th. House.
The 5th. House indicates the area of 'Instinctive Creativity', the sense of spontaneous activity which ensures creative effort. It is an area of 'Fun and Games' where one might enjoy the 'Fun' in life and seek leisure activities. The 5th. House can create a sense of 'Pride' in what one has 'Created', like the child who spontaneously creates a drawing and shows off its creation in a proud way, seeking applause. Whatever is created, whether it be a 'Love Affair' or the 'Child' created through a love-affair, one will exhibit a grand sense of pride of what is achieved.
It is seen, in John Lennon's Birth Chart that he has the planet Venus seated in the 5th. House of Virgo. In this way it can be stated that whilst John Lennon would have a strong creative and artistic sense and value whatever he created, he would not be one to run around like a child, showing off his creations, expecting applause.
When the planet Venus is seated in Virgo then the heat of expectancy is rather cool and John Lennon would have been very discerning and 'Self-Critical' of whatever he created. He would not show an over-enthusiasm, being rather analytical about what he saw, seeing the imperfections and pointing them out. In a way, John Lennon would have been his own worst 'Art-Critic' and this would have been his outlook when observing the work of others, he would have evaluated them as to what the work was worth. Whatever John Lennon created, be it his child, a love-affair or any work of created art, he would have appraised whatever came with a cool sense of acceptance. While he would have admired the quality and order of what he saw, he would not have allowed his feelings to be seen as excited, in many respects he kept a tight control on his feelings, which often made him appear 'Offish' to the spectator. With Venus in Virgo in the 5th. House of his Birth Chart, John Lennon would not have appreciated those who showed off their wealth, those who discriminated against the poor and this is what gave him cause to make caustic remarks to the 'Haves' of this world, those with a love of 'Pretension'! John Lennon would not have spent money unnecessarily, disliking to be pointed out and criticised as being a 'Show-Off'!

***************************************************************************************

THE THIRD HOUSE.
COMMUNICATIVE SPIRIT.

The 3rd. House deals with the 'Spirit' of communication and this implies the way in which one thinks, one’s method of logic, expressed through mediums of speech and writing. It is how one communicates within the local environment and the way information is gained and communicated to others. This is an area of everyday conversation, what one might talk about and whom to. The sense of communication is light-hearted and conducted in a spirited way.
With the Zodiac Sign of Gemini, one likes to communicate ideas quickly and with variation. One is not into long and drawn-out speeches, much preferring quick visits to exchange items of gossip and then away, to relay information and gain more insight into what is going on in the local vicinity. One can always pick up a phone and have a chat with a brother or sister, whilst doing a 'Cross-Word' puzzle and watching the television soaps. One is capable of multitasking, expressing through gesticulation with the hands and keeping busy…‘A busy mind is a healthy body’ is how you think. It's often a case that the mind and hands have to be kept busy and for this reason, one with the Zodiac Sign of Gemini will smoke a cigarette, simply to have the hands occupied.
There are times when one can be contrary and quick-witted, using the mind to get in and out of situations by saying one thing one day, then 'Mind-Changing' the next day, ever caught in two minds and being ambiguous with meanings. But the tendency is to be mischievous and enjoy a joke. One is always clever and often flippant, though never with an intention of harm and can always escape from punishment by turning the whole thing over as a joke, escaping with a quick explanation.
With Gemini's speed of mind, one is no great traveller. Of course, one will travel but will prefer visits within the local community or visiting places of quick interest and keeping in touch with siblings. Like the Gemini 'Mind', when it comes to travel, one dislikes being tied down to boring routine. It can be that a week-end trip will suit, with postcards sent back and things to talk about when one meet up with old friends.
With the Zodiac Sign of Gemini covering the 3rd. House, the need is to seek out exactly where the Ruling planet of Gemini is seated because, wherever the Ruling planet of Gemini is seated will give insight into how John Lennon would use the 'Extension' of his 'Mind', how he would tend to communicate to others.
The Ruling planet of Gemini is the mercurial and loquacious planet of Mercury and Mercury is domiciled in the Zodiac Sign of Scorpio, in the 7th. House of John Lennon's Birth Chart. This Housing, of Mercury in the 7th. House of Scorpio, gives psychological insight into John Lennon's 'Communicative Spirit'.
The planet Mercury indicates one's 'Mentality', one's thought process and the way the unconscious mind is assessed, so that thoughts promote communication. And when Mercury is seated in the 7th. House then the energy of communication is relative and that one will seek another whom can impart forms of conversation which appeals and has a similar appreciation of what is 'Liked'. In all, one with this combination of mercury in the 7th. House will 'Seek' another whom can join in a partnership that is rather like a 'Marriage of Minds'. One seeks another whom might give 'Answers' to questions which help one gain sense of how one should act. In a way, John Lennon would seek an 'Advisor' as to his actions and his speech. There would be a relative benefit from the 'Two Minds' thinking alike, so that John Lennon is open to advice from another who understands exactly where he is coming from and how his mind works.
Whilst this seems good and that communication works well, the fact is that when the planet Mercury is domiciled in the powerful Zodiac Sign of Scorpio then it is understood that the mind of John Lennon is extremely perceptive and bluntly sharp, often making caustic remarks and not open to those who try to pacify him with flattering remarks. He would not trust easily or tend to talk freely to the public. John Lennon would tend to keep his secrets to himself, his mind often flirting with thoughts of sexuality and the need to explore sexual activity. With Mercury in Scorpio in the 7th. House of Relationships, John Lennon would relate to those of the opposite sex with one thought in mind.
The Zodiac Sign of Scorpio indicates an area whereby there is a need to 'Transform' energy, through a sense of 'Sharing' with another, so that whatever latent source of 'Power' is 'Psychologically' risen, that at some time in the life the power comes to light, it evolves a higher 'Spirit'.
In this way, with Mercury in Scorpio in the 7th. House, when John Lennon met his mindful 'Soul-Mate', one who understood him completely, then fused their 'Mental Strength' with his, then the 'Power-Force' would be ignited.
This happened when he met Yoko Ono and his whole 'Mental Outlook' changed. he became reclusive and spent much time in the 'Sexual-Bed' of discovery. He went under a 'transformation' within a 'relative' sharing of minds!

*********************************************************************************************


THE FOURTH HOUSE.
EMOTIONAL SECURITY.

Emotional Security is all about how one feels, one’s sense of atmosphere and how one ‘Feels’ about the past. In many respects, the way one lived in the past reflects on how one deals with what is presented in the present. If one had a good early home-life, the past being kind, this would be reflected in the way one reacts to present situations, and vice-versa. Emotional Security is all about atmospheres and one's reactions to them.
One with the Zodiac Sign of Cancer covering the 4th. House would be well aware of reflected feelings and how one would use such 'Memory-Sense' to sense what one feels about the atmospheres of different places. There can be times when one might feel physically sick, when entering an atmosphere which is not right, that the smell or feelings remind you of a bad time in the past, so that one walks quickly away, to return to one's own home where it feels so much more secure and safer. One with Cancer covering the 4th. House relates strongly to the past and can always have photos and other memorabilia which give a fine sense of history.
One is a collector of things which represent the past, arranging them in order so they remain like well-behaved children. One can always manage, whatever happens in life and the main action is to feel that one can always manage to put a roof over the head and to feed the family. One is not into change, liking things the way they are, traditional, what one is comfortable with. Having things and members of the family around always allows the comfort of well-settled emotions. One is at 'Home' when at home.  It's a case that the home is one's emotional 'Castle', where the pressure is off and one can relax. Outside the door, in the open, one would feel vulnerable and open to attacks of the kinds you are not used to. This is a psychological representation and indicates that one with the Zodiac Sign of Cancer covering the 4th. House will tend to relate strongly to one's early childhood conditioning, reacting to unconscious urges produced by 'Memory-Forces'. In this way, however one is treated in the past will reflect on the natural behaviour, becoming 'Habitual'.
To gain sense of how John Lennon naturally acts, how the 'Unconscious-Feelings' from his early childhood conditioning cause him to 'Habitually' act as far as his feelings go, there is a need to examine the placing of the Ruler of the Zodiac Sign of Cancer, to seek out exactly where the Ruler of Cancer is seated, under what Zodiac Sign the Ruler is domiciled and in what Housing.
The Ruler of Cancer is the Moon and it is seen in John Lennon's Birth Chart that the Moon is domiciled in the Zodiac Sign of Aquarius in the 10th. House.
The Moon in a Birth Chart indicates what one 'Feels' at 'Home' in and when the Moon is seated up in the 10th. House then one will feel at 'Home' and 'Secure' when one gains a sense of 'Public Acclaim', to work within the gaze of the public. There is always an instinct for what the public wants. However, when the Moon is in the 10th. House one will worry about being judged even though Moon in the 10th. House helps to over-ride emotions, to work without any sentiments spoiling the performance. There is a need for public approbation and feeling secure when the mind is kept busy.
When the Moon is seated in the Zodiac Sign of Aquarius, in the 10th. House then, psychologically, John Lennon would feel more comfortable working within a group setting and fearful of 'Going it alone' fearful of what the future represents. This sense of 'Fear' stems from his past, the sense of not bonding to the 'Mother', the Home-Base' and, in this way, John Lennon would never feel settled, whatever he did or wherever he went. Psychologically, his 'Roots' were not planted deep in the earth and so this would cause him to suddenly react to situations in a 'Moody' way because he would suffer from 'Mood Swings', his emotions never allowed to give him a feeling of 'Being at Home'. In this way, John Lennon would find that, while busy working he did not have to worry about anything. But, even within work and his public 'Face', his sudden outbursts and moods would cause the public to become concerned by his actions. His sense of 'Emotional Insecurity' would give a sense of reflected 'Inferiority Complex', so that the more he put his 'Show' on the 'Public Road' the more he needed to break away, for his peace of mind and to lock himself away, to become reclusive so that his home became a 'Castle', impregnable to attack from outside forces, from the 'Public Reporters' who would open up his 'Past'.
In many ways, the fact that John Lennon had Moon in Aquarius in the 10th. House would never allow him to find peace within himself, to be allowed to 'Settle Down', to live a life without feelings of frustrated moodiness. There would have been times of 'Moods', when he was in the mood to be compliant with the 'Public' and then there were times when he would not be in the mood to join in with the 'Social Scene' and it was at those times when he would lash out at the world and 'Fall from Grace'.

****************************************************************************************

THE FIFTH HOUSE.
NATURAL CREATIVITY.

The 5th. House in one's Birth Chart indicates an area where one expresses a sense of 'Natural Creativity'. It implies where one has natural flair and the need to show-off what comes naturally. The sense of creativity can come through spontaneous ideas, as it can come from taking a chance on romance. A gamble and sense of fun comes under the influence of natural creativeness, as does poetry and other artistic forms. The sense is to be proud of what one creates, as a Mother is proud of the 'Child' she has created. When the Zodiac Sign of Leo covers the 5th. House then one understands the enjoyment of life and likes to generate warmth, to play the field with a big heart and always ready to act out any melodramatic scene and playing the leading part, one enjoys taking 'Centre-Stage'. When it comes to the 'Sun-Shine', one can be the first to laze out in the heat, to put one's feet up, especially if another is there to serve cooling drinks and to make a banquet fit for a King or Queen.
In respects, one with Leo covering the 5th. House will tend to act in a `'Royal' way and like others to know one's position in life. One is quite prepared to do favours for others, just as long as others show appreciation, even screaming adulation if possible and one does not mind taking a bow when the roses are thrown on the stage. When it comes to romance, then one might act like a child and when it comes to a gamble, one will be proud to risk all that is in the 'Treasure-Trove'!
One who has Leo covering the 5th. House can always have have a special link to children and can bond quickly, although this can imply that one might also act like a child at times and enjoy spontaneous 'Childish Games'. But when it comes to organisation, one will organise others as if they are youngsters themselves, so they fit into the scheme of things. One has a natural creative flair for enjoying the 'Self'' and taking others along for the ride, those whom one cares to choose as one's friends and grant friendship as a 'Royal' priviledge.
Here again, one with this combination of Leo covering the 5th. House can be very creative and will take great pride in what is created. Usually there is a flair for design and hair-styling, which comes with a strong sense of romanticism. There are those times when one will gamble and take chances, when one steps out onto the stage, into the 'Spotlight', to face an applauding audience. One enjoys applause and sometimes thinks that one does not get all the applause one deserves. This comes from the desire to be the best, to have the world applaud the sense of 'Drama' that is created when one takes the 'Centre-Stage'.
To gain a deeper insight into what area of life John Lennon would express the sense of drama, where in his life he would 'Show Off' in a dramatic way, one has to discover the Ruling planet of Leo, because wherever the Ruling planet of Leo is seated is where John Lennon's tendency to take 'Centre-Stage' will come to 'Light'.
It is known that the Ruling planet of Leo is the Sun and the Sun in John Lennon's Birth Chart is seated in Libra, in the 6th. House.
The 6th. House indicates an area which shows how one will 'Co-Operate with 'Fellow-Workers'. It gives a sense of one's practical skills and how one will adapt to rules and regulations, keeping to 'Time' and what working conditions would suit. It gives reference to the lifestyle and health issues, the balance between body and mind. When the Zodiac Sign of Libra covers the 6th. House then one will be aware of the 'Fairness' within the working practice, that all are given a fair 'Crack of the Whip'. One will relate easily to those whom one sees as 'Fellow-Beings' and will take the side of those who are treated unjustly. When Sun is in Libra then one will look to the policies of diplomacy and tact, to have a degree of 'Political' spirit. However, Libra can often undergo periods of stress when covering the 6th. House, simply because the need is to keep a fine balance between the 'Workforce' and 'Management', to act as a mediator and, with this tendency to be 'On Hand' all the time. In this way the 'Work' can become tiring so that one is liable to need to take time off, to rest and 'Re-Charge' the batteries, to be ready to 'Sort things Out' once again. When one has the Sun in Libra in the 6th. House then one will tend to take charge, to put the self in the 'Spotlight' of whatever is seen as 'Unfair'. With Sun in Libra, one has a strong 'Social Sense' and a stronger sense of 'Justice', to seek 'Peace and Harmony' within the ranks of the 'Working Class'. In this way, John Lennon would have this flair for the dramatics, standing up on stage and calling for those in power to be less authoritive and to 'Give Peace a Chance', the words from one of his songs!
John Lennon was a pain in the neck for those who wanted war and it was those he fought against, those he created havoc for and, because he had the ear of the 'Working Classes' whom he could muster through his sense of 'Enthusiasm' and as a 'Leading Light', those in authority were afraid of his outbursts. There were times when his ideas of what was 'Justified' would weigh too heavily on his mind and at such times he would become 'Melodramatic' and stand alone on the stage, creating a scene whereby he was seen as a 'Public Nuisance' by those in authority, those whom sat in the the front row of the audience and criticised his 'Act'. But , to John Lennon, his 'Show' was only 'Fair' and 'Just'!

************************************************************************************************

THE SIXTH HOUSE.
PRACTICAL CO-WORKING.

The 6th. House in one’s Birth Chart indicates an area which denotes one’s sense of ‘Co-Operating’ and practically ‘Co-working’ with others. By ‘Practical Co-Working’ is meant how one applies the ‘Self’ to any form of practical work which involves working with others and how one gets along with the ‘Fellow-Workers’. This also applies to one’s sense of time, how one deals with the idea of routine and regulations, how one deals with detail as well as the sense of tidiness within working ethics. The 6th. House gives an idea of one’s method and practical knowledge as well as ideas about health and dietary habits.
When the Zodiac Sign of Virgo covers the 6th. House then there is always a desire to make things work perfectly. Perfection is the ‘Keyword’ when Virgo covers this House and so one might work and rehearse until one is sure that whatever is worked on runs like a well-oiled machine. The nature is to be often fussy and discerning, feeling that things are never right and so one might continue till the trial leaves one a nervous wreck.
Again, one can be fussy about whom one chooses to work with and will not tolerate those who show a slightest habit which can affect the outcome of a job. The idea is to get the job done without outside interference and to value the work through close inspection. Others might find another, who has Virgo covering the 6th. House, as being too finicky and ‘Nit-Picking’, one whom will interfere if the work is just not quite right.
The mind can often work through a sense of ‘Nervous’ reliance and energy, being aware that what is performed on will be observed by others and put under a ‘Critical Microscope’, so that any cracks or discrepancies are immediately spotted, the flaws discovered and pointed out. In this way, one with Virgo covering the 6th. House can become one’s own worst critic, ‘Self-Critical’ to the degree that it has an effect on the nerves as to make one react in a sharp way to those who try to observe what one works at. To gain a real sense of how John Lennon ‘Works’ his sense of routine and nervous energy, the way he works with ‘Fellow Co-Workers’ and how he follows the routine of ‘Hours’, the need is to seek out the Ruling planet of Virgo. The discovery of the Ruling planet of Virgo, its placing within John Lennon’s Birth Chart, will give understanding of his ‘Inner-Mind’, his nervous state of play when working with others. It is known that the Ruling planet of Virgo is the practical and ‘Earthy’ planet of Mercury and that this Ruling planet is domiciled in the Zodiac Sign of Scorpio in the 7th. House of John Lennon’s Birth Chart.
The 7th. House in one Birth Chart indicates the area whereby one ‘Relates’ to another, what one seeks in another which would give energy to what one feels is lacking in one’s nature. It indicates the ‘Answer’ to reasons which need to be explained. And when the Zodiac Sign of Scorpio covers the 7th. House in this way then John Lennon would only relate to another he felt he could trust, one he could ‘Share’ his secrets with. But, when Mercury is placed in Scorpio, then the mind is really a closed trap, in that John Lennon was ‘Secretive’ in what he thought and would not be drawn into making remarks unless another upset him, then all ‘Hell’ would break loose. He would then become caustic and aggressive, breaking and destroying what was being worked on as a sense of spite.
And it would be in this way that John Lennon would have ‘Worked’ when put among his ‘Fellow-Workers’. He would have been very determined to ‘Work’ things out, to keep working at all times, so that things were perfect, even if the effort nearly ‘Killed’ him. He was not one to be ‘Interfered with’, have others tell him how to make things work. For this reason he worked alone and often in secret, away from the dull and boring routines, suiting himself as to what ‘Times’ he worked.
He would never have been happy with an effort unless it had been practically ‘Destroyed’, taken to pieces and ‘Transformed’, till it sounded and looked ‘Perfect’ to the way he imagined it would be. In some ways, John Lennon was intensely ‘Self-Critical’ and this ‘Psychological Intensity’ would cause him to set about secretly ‘Undermining’ those who were successful, often causing him to ‘Pick Holes’ in the work of those whom, he felt, worked against him. It might be said that John Lennon suffered from a form of ‘Autocratism’, that he felt his work was ‘Perfect’ his word was ‘Law’ and that those whom were jealous of his work were those whom set about ‘Undermining’ him in return.
In all, John Lennon would have been very hard to work with and only those who might relate to his work as being perfect, to understand his reasoning and ‘Mental Ability’ would be allowed to enter his ‘Work-Place’, to see him ‘Secretly’ perform his miracles!

*********************************************************************************************

THE SEVENTH HOUSE.
LOVE AND RELATIONSHIPS.

The 7th. House indicates an area of the life which deals with ‘Relationships’ and ‘Love’. It represents the ‘Give and Take’ within a relationship and deals with the qualities of what is fair and just. Whilst the word ‘Love’ is used, the idea of ‘Relationships’ is more to the point in that the 7th. House indicates what is ‘Related’ to. This can include Friendships and whatever draws one who might need a part of the self which is lacking. In this way one might need to relate to another who can give assurance or communicate so that one is given advice. The 7th. House can explain the sense of a ‘Magnetic’ quality, what attracts another so that a relationship is formed. When the Zodiac Sign of Libra covers the 7th. House then one is attracted to those whom are able to display a sociable and charming side to their nature. The nature of Libra is to be charming and tactful, often those with Libra qualities are the ‘Diplomats’ of the Zodiac, though they can be notorious for ‘Sitting on the Fence’ when it comes to taking sides. 7th. House Libra needs to be ‘Liked’ and for this reason will not want to hurt others, simply because those they hurt will not like them in return. Libra enjoys the ‘Social Scene’, to go from party to party, socialising with the ‘In Crowd’.
To gain a deeper insight into how and what John Lennon would be attracted to, what would draw him towards those he could ‘Relate’ to, there is a need to seek out the Ruling planet of Libra, to find out where the Ruling planet is seated, under what Zodiac Sign and in what Housing.
The Ruling planet of Libra is the balanced and sociable planet of Venus and it is seen that the planet of Venus is domiciled in the Zodiac Sign of Virgo in the 5th. House. The 5th. House indicates an area of the life which deals with one’s sense of ‘Fun’. It shows where one will spontaneously display one’s sense of ‘Creativity’, how one will ‘Show Off’ what ‘Flair and Style’ one has which gives a sense of pride. The 5th. House indicates one’s ‘Creative Instincts’. However, when the Zodiac Sign of Virgo covers the 5th. House then one can take life rather seriously and be very discerning when it comes to choosing whom one ‘Relates’ to and what relatively attracts the sense of fun.
John Lennon might not be into ‘Childish Games’ seeing them as ‘Showing Off’ and allowing others to point accusing fingers. Venus in Virgo can keep the feelings somewhat restricted and cool to the idea of ‘Role-Playing’. In a way this combination would have had John Lennon standing back from joining in with those whom liked a more sociable approach to life. He would have been more attracted to the scene of controlled ‘Order’, so that he was not criticised for ‘Acting Up’. He was not into open displays or being ‘Up-Front’, although, with Venus in the 5th. House, John Lennon would have been more attracted towards whatever gave a sense of ‘Creative Style’, to be creative and have a ‘Flair’ for 'Design-Work'. In this way, John Lennon would have been more attracted to the sense of spending his time in production, rather than socialising and enjoying the ‘Party Scene’. His idea of ‘Fun’ would have been to create a new design or put the finishing touches to a latest fashion. He would have been critical of ‘Time-Wasters’ and those who frittered their life away. In all, John Lennon was not what one might call a ‘Party-Animal’, never attracted to frivolity but more into testing the ‘Market’ and putting his time into areas which ‘Worked’ for him and to create what others might find a sense of ‘Creative Beauty’ within. He would have been drawn more to those who showed creative flair and spent time within more serious pursuits, fussy and discriminating as to how others used their ‘Minds’, towards an industrious pleasure which drew applause for their efforts.

THE EIGHTH HOUSE.
SHARED RESOURCES.

The 8th. House within one’s Birth Chart is quite difficult to understand in that it represents one’s ‘Unconscious’ urge to seek out another whom can compliment the pairing in some way. It often represents a sense of ‘Sharing’, to find another whom will ‘Share’ what they have so that what is shared can produce a harvest that gives a ‘Richness’ to the spirit. It can be best explained as two people ‘Sharing’ a deep relationship so that their physical love produces a ‘Child’ which is then the ‘Bonding’ between both people.  The 8th. House has the energy of ‘Transformation’ in that one will seek another or something which, once forming an association, will transform the nature so that what one was used to is ‘Ended’ and a ‘New Beginning’ starts. The 8th. House represents death and rebirth, the transformation of one thing into another through the sense of sharing a concentrated source of ‘Power’. In many respects, the action is for the owner of the Birth Chart to surrender the ‘Self’ to the power of another, so that one draws into the self the ‘Spirit’ of Change’.
The Zodiac Sign of Scorpio denotes the sense of ‘Unconscious Urges’ which psychologically causes one to react to whatever presents itself as a form of ‘Challenge’, so that one feels the urge to accept of deny the challenge according to how the depths of Scorpio ‘Feelings’ are represented within the Birth Chart. The primal need is for one to ‘Rise Above’ the primitive emotions of ‘Jealousy’ and ideas of ‘Revenge’, the desire to get ‘Rid Off’ what undermines the nature by becoming destructive. The need is to be able to ‘Over-Ride’ such basic energies and able to concentrate one’s ‘Inner-Power’, able to be constructive and change whatever restricts the nature from moving forward and evolving.
It is seen that, in John Lennon’s Birth Chart, he has the Zodiac Sign of Scorpio covering his 8th. House and, to be able to discern just how John Lennon would use the ‘Inner-Drive’ to make changes within the life, to be ‘Transformed’, the need is to seek out the Ruling planet of Scorpio, to find exactly where the Ruling planet of Scorpio is domiciled, under what Zodiac Sign and in what Housing.
The Ruling planet of Scorpio is the planet Pluto, known as the ‘Power-Point’, the ‘Trigger’ which turns on the power of ‘Transformation. Pluto indicates the way one has to face up to fundamental changes within the nature. It can bring forces of compulsions and obsessions to the surface should the nature not be able to affect the changes needed so that transformation can take place.
It is seen in John Lennon’s Birth Chart that the planet Pluto is domiciled in the Zodiac Sign of Leo in the 4th. House.
The energy of Pluto, when seated in Leo is to become obsessed with the urge to transform the self in some way so that one is in charge of one’s own destiny. The compulsive need is to discover the key which will unlock the ‘Hidden Secrets’ which hold the nature back from evolving, able to move on and become strong and ‘Self-Contained’. When Pluto is seated in the Zodiac Sign of Leo then the ‘Sight’ is determined and intensely fixed, psychologically never giving up on the search to find another or whatever is needed that holds the key to one’s ‘Fate’. In other words, this combination can be seen as ‘Having a Bee in one’s Bonnet’!
When the combination of Pluto in Leo is sited to the 4th. House then John Lennon would have been obsessed with finding out the ‘Truth’ about his past, to determine to discover exactly where he ‘Came’ from. To understand his ‘Past’ so that he might evolve, to ‘End’ the impulsion to be jealous of those whom were secure and settled through a secure earlier childhood, those whom had the love and bonding from a ‘Maternal’ figure, John Lennon needed to ‘Uncover’ the reasons why he was abandoned when a baby, to gain sense of whom and what his Mother was. Once he met his Mother, he would be able to ‘End’ his childhood misery of ‘Not Knowing’ and transform his nature so that he knew where he stemmed from and, with that intelligence able to change, to understand that he was not alone and that he had a ‘Past’. Once he had met his Mother and learned about his ‘Birth’ from her, the ‘Skeletons in the Family Closet’, then he was able to ‘Kill Off’ the Spectre of his past and become ‘Re-birthed’, able to lose the emotions of spite and jealousy and become secure within himself. By ‘Sharing’ his birth and past with his Mother, he was able to transform his nature, which ‘Opened Up’ his creative abilities. He was able to find ‘Peace’ within himself and create a new sense of ‘Sharing’, knowing what love was, that he was not a child anymore, one who needed a ‘Mummy-Figure’!

************************************************


THE NINTH HOUSE.
EXPANSION THROUGH EXPERIENCE.

The 9th. House indicates an area of the life whereby one will seek an expansion of the ‘Self’ through ‘Knowledge'. It indicates how one will search for forms of ‘Spiritual Experience’ so that one learns to find a value of belief, especially within the self. Expansion through experience is a measure of how and what one might learn through further and deeper studies and/or through distant travel which gives insight into foreign cultures which will ‘Broaden one’s Horizons’. Often there is a need to go on a quest, in search of the ‘Meaning of Life’ to find out the ‘Truth’ of one’s existence.
The Zodiac Sign of Sagittarius indicates the urge to travel, to seek new places of adventures which would give inspiration and aspiration to become wise. Sagittarius is the Sign of the Guru and Prophet, one who has the Wisdom of the 'Ancients' and who might teach others how to find the key which will open the door to knowledge. Sagittarius has no real sense of time and will tend to ‘Wander’ wherever it will roam, seeing no borders or boundaries. And when the Zodiac Sign of Sagittarius covers the 9th. House then one is in a constant search for mental and physical stimulation.
To understand exactly what John Lennon would search for as far as the true meaning of life and to experience a higher ‘Spiritual’ nature, one has to seek out the Ruling planet of Sagittarius, to find out in what Zodiac Sign the Ruling planet is domiciled and in what Housing.
It is known that the Ruling planet of Sagittarius is the ‘Jovial’ and 'Enthusiastic' planet of Jupiter. In John Lennon’s Birth chart it is seen that the planet Jupiter is domiciled in the 1st. House of Taurus. Wherever a planet is domiciled in a Zodiac Sign it will it ‘Enliven’ that Zodiac Sign and the House in which it is seated. In this way it is easy to state that John Lennon would project himself out into the public eye as one who was ‘High Spirited’, one who would quickly be off on a search for forms of new excitement and to go on a ‘Quest’, to wherever there was some kind of ‘Knowledge’ to learn.
With Jupiter in Taurus, it is expected that John Lennon would always be interested in whatever would ‘Enrich’ his ‘Spirit’.
In this way, John Lennon would go off on spiritual journeys, to project himself towards those who were considered to be ‘Gurus and Prophets’. The nature of Taurus is to be practical and ‘Down-To-Earth’, so that he would have felt the need to find something he could ‘Believe in’, something which would give him a sense of ‘Self-Belief’. And it was for this reason that he travelled to those places where he could sit at the feet of those whom, he thought, would give him what he needed. In this way, with Jupiter in Taurus, the journeys would cost him a lot of money and leave him unsatisfied with that form of Eastern Philosophy.
This did not matter to John Lennon, that he did not find what he was looking for, the fact that Jupiter in Taurus in his 1st. House would always cause him to search for answers, no matter what the cost. For this reason, he turned to Yoko Ono, who would, no doubt have taught him the ‘Truth’ of Mysticism’ and how to look inside himself for the answer, the truth of the ‘Meaning of Life’ and to have an ultimate faith in himself.

************************************************************************************************

THE TENTH HOUSE.
CAREER AND STATUS.

The 10th. House indicates an area within the life which deals with one’s sense of ambition and the urge to climb so that one is judged to have done well at the end of the life. This House gives an idea of how one deals with those in authority and with the sense of duty, the way one might organise the life. The aim is to gain recognition, to rise in the life so that one gained a reputation and status, whether good or bad. The 10th. House can give sense of what kind of career one might seek so that a public reputation is gained.
The nature of Capricorn is to be very persevering and patient so that one climbs steadily and safely, striving to ultimately reach the top of a desired position. Capricorn urges caution, so that each step of the journey uphill was to climb, taking each step at a time so that one reached the top without falling. The nature of Capricorn is to be very aware of those whom judge one’s effort with a critical eye and, in this way, the Capricorn effort is not to fall from grace, to be criticised for making mistakes. In this way, the nature is to be calculating and organised, climbing to the top of the mountain so that others might look up with respect.
When the Zodiac Sign of Capricorn covers the 10th. House then one seeks to aspire to move up in the life, to work in a way which would gain one a reputation, to have ‘Status’ so that one has the authority to delegate the work to those lower down in the ‘Pecking Order’. One would want to be seen as one who is the ‘Top Dog’, the ‘Boss’. John Lennon, having Capricorn covering the 10th. House in his Birth Chart, would have felt the urge to climb to the top, to be recognised by others as one whom had ‘Made It’ in life.
Capricorn is an area of ‘Lessons’, areas in the life whereby one has to overcome the lessons in life which ‘Test’ one’s patience and aptitude for overcoming whatever in the ‘Ambitious Climb’ to the top is there to restrict one from an easy ascent towards one’s goal.
To understand exactly what lessons John Lennon has to ‘Learn’ and overcome, the need is to seek out where the Ruling planet of Capricorn is seated within John Lennon’s Birth Chart. It is known that the Ruling planet of Capricorn is the ‘Restrictive’ and ‘Limiting’ planet of Saturn and the planet of Saturn, in John Lennon’s Birth Chart is domiciled in Taurus, in the 1st. House.
The planet Saturn is a hard taskmaster with some hard lessons in life. Those who overcome the lessons will find a relief of stress and the climb to the top becomes much easier. Those who try to take short-cuts, who are impatient, will certainly suffer from frustrations and feel the surfacing of ‘Fear’, which would then cause ‘Hold-Ups’ and ‘Restrictions’ in the life. When Saturn is seated in the 1st. House then one is not happy projecting the self because this allows the public to make note of any mistakes which are made. In this way, John Lennon would ‘Learn’ to take a cautious approach to life, often unsure and keeping a low profile until he is sure that things ‘Work’ for him. The tendency is to be reserved in his dress sense and worry about any form of personal criticisms aimed at him, so that he might attack in a defensive way. With Saturn in the 1st. House of Taurus, John Lennon would feel a sense of being somewhat ‘Undervalued’, feeling that his presence is worth far more and impatient with any who ask him to take an audition, so that he is ‘Tested’. Psychologically, the underlying ‘Fear’ is ‘Failure’, to fail the test of his performance and, in this way become unpaid, not worth the money. The fact is that, with Saturn residing in Taurus in the 1st. House gives a personal test of endurance, testing his ‘Personal’ integrity and his sense of ‘Value’.
The climb to the top will be a personal task, to prove his ‘Worth’, that he is worth paying for. The driving force is the psychological ‘Fear’ of being ‘Poor’, of having to face poverty and beg.
It is not that, in John Lennon’s Birth Chart, he has Jupiter and Saturn co-joined in his 1st. House. This conjunction could give pressure to the nature in that it might feel like it’s ‘Two steps forward and three steps back’! Often his enthusiasm and ‘High Hopes’ would be tempered through outbreaks of depression and frustration. He would have to learn to structure his ambitions through patience and constructive thinking.

*******************************************************************


THE ELEVENTH HOUSE.
HOPES AND WISHES.

The 11th. House indicates an area within the life which deals with one’s hopes and wishes for the future, what one might look forward to although there has to be some forethought and planning, otherwise expectations can be reversed and the unexpected cause trouble. This Housing also indicates one’s social outlook, how one thinks about hobbies and socialising within groups, whatever lies outside the area of the ‘Working Life’. There is a need for friendships and so the life would relate to those friends who are involved with group efforts. The 11th. House deals with ideals and ‘Humanitarian’ causes.
The Zodiac Sign of Aquarius denotes the sense of Aspirations and areas whereby ideals of ‘Social Progress’ are realised. Aquarius is an Air Sign, in that this Zodiac Sign communicates progressive ideas which will innovate and invent new ideas which are used to ‘Update’ what is needed so that Humanity as a whole can progress and move forward. At times, Aquarius can cause rebellious behaviour, if a rebellion against outmoded uses and antiquated laws are needed to cause changes within the social sphere. Aquarius will produce ‘Independent’ thinking which revolutionises the ‘Old Existence’.
When the Zodiac Sign of Aquarius covers the 11th. House then the area of life which deals with ‘Social Pursuits’ and the sense of thinking ‘Outside of the Box’ can cause one with this combination to act ‘Differently’ to the rest of the ‘Group’, to be somewhat ‘Independent-Minded’ and to rebel against ideas which become stale and outmoded, so that one with this combination is liable to break away from the group, seeking others whom share the same innovative ideas, to become a member of a new group with new aims and aspirations.
To gain insight into John Lennon’s sense of innovative ideas and sense of ‘Reformative Thinking’, the need is to seek out where the Ruling planet of Aquarius is domiciled, under what Zodiac Sign the Ruling planet is seated and in what Housing of the Birth Chart.
The Ruling planet of Aquarius is the ‘Erratic’ and ‘Maverick’ planet of Uranus and it is seen, in John Lennon’s Birth Chart, that the planet of Uranus is seated in the Zodiac Sign of Taurus in the 2nd. House. Basically, the planet Uranus shows how one will deal with ideas which appear to be ‘Outmoded’. It is the principle of ‘Change’ and one’s readiness to ‘Rock the Boat’ and when Uranus is domiciled in Taurus then one’s thinking is ‘Financially Based’. One with this combination will seek out unusual ways to make and spend money, preferring not to go by the usual routes and breaking away from whatever seems dull and boring. John Lennon would persevere in seeking ways of becoming ‘Financially Independent’ and so break away from routine and look more to what might have been a ‘Hobby’ or is within a ‘Group Effort’. Often the ideas come through new and innovative ideas which can be used in a ‘Social Atmosphere’, in clubs where others socialise.
In a way, Uranus in Taurus quirks one to break away from the ‘Norm’ of Society, to seek new ventures, which in effect, destabilises one’s ‘Financial Security’. In this way one will ‘Take Chances’ without full consideration of what might happen in the future, suddenly finding the hopes dashed through sudden reckless moves. When the combination of Uranus in Taurus is seated in the 2nd. House then the ‘Earthy’ grounding of the Taurus nature can give some stability to the spending so that John Lennon would have expressed a value through his unusual talents and gradually made gains after experiencing losses. His sense of ‘Predictive Spirit’ would have paid off, even though he would have had to restrict his rebellious nature for the sake of ‘Public Order’ and those in authority, who ruled the recording industry.

***************************************************************************************

THE TWELFTH HOUSE.
DREAMS AND IMAGINATION.

The 12th. House is an area which indicates ‘Dreams’ and the sense of one’s ‘Imagination’, an area through which one might escape from hardships, the harsh side of life. It signifies a greater sense of compassion and sympathy which can cause ‘Guilt Complexes’ and, through feelings of guilt, urge one to make ‘Sacrifices’, to give up one’s time and seek a higher cause to serve.
The 12th. House, if in bad aspect can give one forms of ‘Martyr Complex’ whilst, if in good aspect can cause one to act like the ‘Good Samaritan’.
The Zodiac Sign of Pisces indicates a height of sensitivity and compassion. The nature is infused with a strong imaginative sense and highly impressionable, often dissolving itself and adapting to whatever environment is close. Pisces is the Chameleon of the Zodiac, taking on and copying its surroundings and, in this way, can suffer the hurts of others, feeling a deepest sympathy so that the need can be to escape to where there are dreams of a safe haven. Pisces can be likened to the ‘Water’ which, when poured into a bowl will take the shape of the bowl, this softest sign of the Zodiac is not well equipped for life’s realities and the competitive ‘Rat-Race’. To gain sense of how John Lennon would connect to the sensitivities of the 12th. House, where such imitative and compassionate feelings would arise, the need is to find out exactly where the Ruling planet of Pisces is seated, under what Zodiac Sign the Ruling planet is domiciled and in what Housing.
It is known that the Ruling planet of Pisces is the nebulous planet of Neptune and that Neptune is domiciled in the Zodiac Sign of Virgo in the 6th. House.
When the planet Neptune is domiciled in the Zodiac Sign of Virgo then one will seek a cause to serve. Neptune infers a nature which is like a swirl of emotive power which causes sensations of pity and sympathy so that one is inclined to either run and hide from the hurt, to make an escape or to sacrifice the nature and help those in need. The nature of Virgo is to be practical and realistic, to accept what makes perfect sense, so that when faced with whatever appears to be painful to the ‘Soul’, the Virgo nature will tend to over-rule such sensitive inner feelings and set about putting things right.
Neptune in Virgo does not have time for those whom can look after themselves, Virgo’s concern is for those who cannot help themselves, the small animals and those whom are wounded.  And when the combination of Neptune in Virgo is seated in the 6th. House then John Lennon would set himself out to serve the cause of making it a fit world to live in. The feelings would be drawn towards serving those who cannot help themselves. He would take up their cause and make their case so that others, who might not understand, would understand the case so that it made perfect sense. He would ‘Sacrifice’ his time to defend the sick and those whom were ‘Imperfect’ through areas of ‘Mental Health’.
It is noted that there is a union of Neptune and Mars in John Lennon’s 6th. House and this conjunction would give the sensitivity of Neptune a more forceful energy, to ‘Feel’ that making war was a way of hurting those whom could not help themselves. In this way, in a ‘Romanticised’ way, John Lennon sang the words… ‘Give peace a chance’. The problem here was that, while Neptune installed compassion and sympathy for those hurt, the energy of Mars caused John Lennon to become challenging and too forceful so that those in authority saw him as more of a ‘Nuisance’ value than a ‘Saint’, one who sacrificed his time, dreaming of helping those who ‘Suffered’. It was these feelings, these sensitive imaginings which caused John Lennon to write his most wonderful song... 'Imagine'. Check out the words of the song and feel what John Lennon felt and fought for!
