I still get the occasional comment on a blog post from October 2008, relating to that enigmatic song "Human". A recent commenter suggested that I should look at one of The Killers' new songs: "Spaceman", with a view to writing a post about it. I started out with that aim, but as is so often the case, I took a few side-steps.
Brandon Flowers, The Killers' lead singer, co-wrote both "Human" and "Spaceman". I considered doing a post about Flowers, took a look at a few reported interviews, and at his natal chart, and side-stepped again.
I noticed Flowers' natal Moon is in Aquarius - the exact degree can't be established without a time of birth, but it will lie between 11 and 24 Aquarius. (See 12 noon chart, right). I also noted that Brandon mentions David Bowie as being one of his chief inspirations. I immediately recalled Bowie's "Space Oddity"(video below) and "Starman". Looked at Bowie's chart with data from Astrodatabank - and see that his ascendant is at 9 Aquarius.
Another upcoming singer, Adam Lambert, runner-up on this season's American Idol also frequently cites David Bowie as his inspiration. Adam is to sing a Bowie medley in his set on the Idol concert tour which started its run on Sunday in Portland, Oregon. I suspect that it's no coincidence that Adam's natal Sun is at 9 Aquarius - same degree as Bowie's ascendant! It'll be interesting to see whether Adam's first album, due for release in the Fall, will contain anything written or co-written by him relating to space or space travellers!
For a passing reader uninitiated in the zodiac signs and their meanings, Aquarius traditionally relates to all things futuristic such as space travel, new technology etc. To have one's natal Sun, Moon or ascendant in Aquarius practically gurantees an interest in these areas. The astrology in this case is even more interesting because the actual degree of Aquarius, in at least 2 cases out of the 3, is exactly the same, and two of these artists cite inspiration from the third.
For more posts on Adam Lambert scroll down to the Label Cloud in the sidebar to the right and click on his name, it appears on the first line.
