I am glad I am not an "upbeat" teenager any more. I really liked his newest album (10 New Songs) as well; his music just doesn't get old. My best, Nina Dear Elsa,

Yes, me too! I am glad I am not an “upbeat” teenager any more. I really liked his newest album (10 New Songs) as well; his music just doesn’t get old.

You know, even when he is most serious, he is very self-deprecating; "I was born with the gift of a golden voice." I think that self-deprecation is almost a signature of a melancholic combined with a dash of Mercury, as here. My best, Nina Dear Peter,

I wanted to comment on the following well-phrased sentence: <I>"First house Mercury rules the chart, and we immediately notice its mutual reception with the very weak Venus in the 12th house.

Nevertheless, the result shows the influence of <I>"twenty-seven angels from the great beyond"</I>! :) Nice piece on the great Master of Melancholy! I wanted to comment on the following well-phrased sentence:

“First house Mercury rules the chart, and we immediately notice its mutual reception with the very weak Venus in the 12th house. This connection immediately makes one think of artistic skill, and yet, with the difficult Venus, the artistic process cannot be easy nor joyful so much as an urgent necessity.”

This is further highlighted by his musings in Tower of Song:

“I was born like this, I had no choice
I was born with the gift of a golden voice
And twenty-seven angels from the great beyond
They tied me to this table right here
In the tower of song”

So yes, it’s hard work for him and a necessity. Nevertheless, the result shows the influence of “twenty-seven angels from the great beyond”! :)
