Story: Billie Holiday is considered to be one of the finest singers in history, yet her name is also associated with her tragic downfall from drug addiction. She came from humble beginnings, and was even arrested with her mother for prostitution during her teens, but her incredible voice eventually broke her into the nightclub and recording business. Her 1939 anti-lynching song, Strange Fruit, became a timeless anthem of protest, expanding her audience beyond the immediate jazz world. Stars: Holiday’s natal Moon, the planet ruling the voice, was in Capricorn, opposite Neptune in Capricorn, signifying her tremendous gift for creating empathy in her listener. Planetary transits to her natal Moon over the course of her career help illustrate some of its key moments. |
