Whitney Houston and BET Awards

I watched the BET Awards last night. I thought Virgo (with a ton of Libra planets) Jennifer Hudson stole the show. I thought Whitney Houston looked like a strung out junky or a woman with a serious case of hot flashes, or both. My first thought was what are they giving this woman an award for? Is this a reward for screwing up your life, similar to TARP rewarding banks for bad behavior? But you have to admit the woman is a huge talent, broke all kinds of records and smashed barriers of race and sex. In June of 1987 when her second album was released she was at the top of her game. Whitney is a Leo, with Venus in Leo near her Sun, (giving her her great good looks), and with Saturn sending evil glances across the Zodiac from her Aquarian 12th house. When this record was released transiting Saturn was exactly on her Midheaven, the highest point in the chart, the point that rules career and public standing. Saturn here indicates the culmination and reward for hard work. The Saturn cycle around an individual’s horoscope is a road map indicating when they rise and when they fall. As Saturn moves through the sky and rising through the horoscope reaching for the high point, the Midheaven or MC, it reflects the native’s professional success. As Saturn moves past that point and begins to head toward the bottom half of the chart, the success usually begins to wane. In July of 1992 she married Bobby Brown, right around the time of her first Saturn return, a transit that marks a major turning point in the life. Bobby Brown is an Aquarius and his Sun and Whitney’s Sun are within minutes of an exact opposition. Bobby Brown’s Sun falls in Whitney’s 12th house. The house of hidden enemies and ways we screw ourselves up. To say that this was not a wise move on her part is an understatement. When her daughter was born in 1993, the planet Saturn was finishing up a trek through her 12th house preparing to hit her Ascendant, the point of personality, physical body and another critical point, like the MC. This transit places limits on the native’s movements. People often feel restricted and wish they were someplace else. I’ll put money on the fact that at this point Whitney realized, deep down somewhere, that this marriage was a mistake. When Saturn moved to the bottom of her chart, the IC, the opposite of her huge success occurred. During this time there were reports of heavy drug use, a legal issue with her father and the death of her father. This was the literal bottom for her and where she began to make the turn around. Now Saturn is once again above the horizon, the first/seventh house axis, and she is really beginning the climb from those depths. Saturn traveling through the 7th is a testing time for relationships, some don’t last, and those that do are the ones that are worth it. She has a way to go, and everything she does now will be under scrutiny. She can’t make any mistakes. She will not attain her former heights of success until Saturn once again reaches her MC, top of the chart, in 2016. In the meantime she needs to, get straight, get some HRT (hormone replacement therapy) or start taking Vitamin E, great for hot flashes.
