| Musical prodigy Ludwig van Beethoven is dominated by the signs of Sagittarius and Capricorn both of which aptly describe the time he lived in when Europe was moving from a religio-agricultural society to an industrial-scientific one. Sun, Moon, and Mercury all in Sagittarius typify Beethoven as being the quintessential explorer, adventurer, and student of life. These qualities, however, are directed into the professional rather than personal sphere due to Scorpio on the Ascendant which gives Beethoven a very private or intense persona. The Midheaven, however, is in proud and majestic Leo, and it is through it that the Sagittarian fire and inspiration expresses or releases itself. Venus in Capricorn likes order, discipline, and economy. They value anything that has quality or endrance such as fine art and music, good relationships, and fine food or possessions. Jupiter and Pluto also in Capricorn enhance and rarify those tastes. Mars in Gemini is the fiery and impulsive thinker and communicator who blazes forth new ideas and concepts which others follow. They are restless and scattered and thrive on change or newness. They're also humorous and flirtatious. Mars opposes the Sagittarius group so that there much challenge or opposition to his personal life or way of thinking. Jupiter in Capricorn emphasizes order, control, and economy, and speculates on the meaning of space and time. There is a fascination with numbers, clocks, watches, doors, compartments, and time travel. They're also good at using and manipulating others to achieve personal ends. Jupiter with Pluto signifies rare opportunity or spiritual power and the ability to guide or influence the masses. Saturn in Leo is the quality performer or entertainer who seeks approval or recognition for his works. They are proud and commanding, and on the Midheaven, acheive enduring fame or status. Uranus in Taurus experiments with sound and matter and comes up with totaly new music or art. Personally they are sensual and stubborn and their finances are always unpredictable. Neptune in Virgo is highly sensitive to order, detail, complexity, and perfection, and they can easily become workaholics or become obssessed with purity and cleanliness. The psyche is practical or materialistic in nature. Pluto in Capricorn can be extremely, frugal, disciplined, or controlling, and has exceptional timing and spatial perception. This is also a generation that can create or see through the scams and machinations of any political or organizational body. | |
