Tom Petty, American rock musician and one of the best-selling music artists of all time, has died from an apparent heart attack. He had just finished a successful, six-month 40th anniversary tour with The Heartbreakers; and had several projects going ahead.
Not flamboyant or a show-off, he was a musicians’ musician much respected by those in the know and but whose quiet genius was never fully appreciated.
Born 20 October 1950, he was a charming Sun Venus in Libra trine Jupiter (Moon) in Aquarius. His Jupiter was in a confident opposition to Pluto; with Pluto in turn trine Mars in Sagittarius, sextiling onto musical Neptune, communicative Mercury and creative Venus in Libra. He would have a steely core behind his unassuming front.
We saw him in Seattle this past summer, August. At the time, the thought flew through my head to enjoy every moment, every note, as he would be passing soon (my 12th house Neptune conjunct Scorpio Moon & Ascendant). I didn’t say anything to my husband since Tom holds a revered place in his heart. All blessings to this beautiful, lovely, soul. We miss him & are thankful for all his heady music.
