Liam and Noel Gallagher back together on stage in Cardiff after an acrimonious split 16 years ago sent an audience of 75,000 fans into ecstasy with an Oasis concert which made up for in exuberance what it lacked in nuance and subtlety.
After a brief hug, the once-warring siblings walking out hand-in-hand with Liam firmly in control, looking the more dominant of the two.
Liam, 21 September 1972 12.56pm, Burnage, England, does have an amped up chart with an ambitious, assertive Sun Mars in Virgo on his midheaven square Jupiter in Sagittarius opposition Saturn so he will tend to be volatile, argumentative and short-fused.
Noel, 29 May 1967, no birth time, Manchester, is a Sun Gemini sextile Saturn in Aries on one side and Jupiter in Leo on the other. He has the unsettled, unpredictable Uranus Pluto conjunction in Virgo and a not-always-sensitive Mars in Libra square Venus in emotional Cancer.
The main problem between them is Mars Uranus. Noel’s Mars is conjunct Liam’s Uranus and Liam’s ambitious, argumentative Mars is conjunct Noel’s Uranus and Pluto. Liam’s controlling Pluto is also trine Noel’s Sun.
Mars Uranus can be an explosive combination with a no-compromise response from either side. They would get under each other’s skin from the start, with trivial differences flaring up into major conflagrations – until Noel reached the point of no return.
Their relationship chart has a close composite Mars Uranus conjunction which is sextile a friendly affectionate Sun Venus conjunction. The fight for individuality would win out over blood ties.
In late August 2009 when the elastic finally snapped there was an angry, enraged tr Mars opposition tr Pluto square tr Mercury rattling up their composite Mars Uranus conjunction; and an equally high-tension, crockery-throwing tr Saturn opposition tr Uranus which was tugging on their composite Pluto. There was no way they would manage to steer together through the storms that would create for several years thereafter. Tr Pluto was also squaring Liam’s controlling 10th house Pluto, perhaps hinting at a need for self-reflection and psychological change.
With maturity – and hopes of a financial windfall from the concert tour – there may be a less scratchy chemistry at the moment. Liam certainly looks likely to be receiving money in quantity over coming months with tr Jupiter moving through his 8th house. Noel has tr Pluto opposition his Jupiter throughout this year which will help bring success.
Tr Pluto is opposing their composite Sun Venus this year which on the best interpretation could suggest a transformation of their relationship – though it will cause strains – and that will run side by side with tr Saturn Neptune opposing the composite Mars Uranus midpoint through 2026/27 – so holding their togetherness together won’t be easy.
