TV show America's Got Talent has thrown up an example of a child prodigy : 10-year old Jackie Evancho. She won her way through to compete in the final ten from a round, new this season, of YouTube performers. I suspect that after last night's performance she will retain her place among the front-runners, to be one of the final four - perhaps even to win the competition next week, or at least to finish as runner-up.
Jackie's natal chart (set for 12 noon) is shown below with some brief interpretation relating to her talent. For a passing reader who has not yet heard her voice ~ listen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKhmFSV-XB0
Sun and Venus in ambitious, competitive Aries are clearly reflected in her performances and her poise when interviewed. Uranus (the unexpected) lay in helpful sextile to Sun as she was born - connecting to some form of unexpectedness. In her case it may represent such a mature voice coming from a wee angelic-looking child. Some people describe this as "weird", a mature voice coming from such youth. Operatic pieces especially give this impression. Last night she sang Pie Jesu - her voice and delivery every bit as exceptional as Sarah Brightman's.
The stellium (cluster of planets) in Taurus (ruled by Venus, planet connected to music) is key, I think. Especially Saturn here with Jupiter. Saturn relates to maturity, Jupiter to exaggeration - an indication of something exaggeratedly mature?
Though Jackie could be considered to be a "wonder child", I don't see her as a typical Las Vegas performer -especially at her tender age. To find a new Las Vegas act is what the show is supposedly out to find.
My own favourite performer this season has been "Prince Poppycock" (John Quale), whose birth date is nowhere to be found on-line, other than that he's 32. Now he is definitely a Las Vegas act, and a class act at that! A sample of one of The Prince's performances is linked. You just have to love him - and smile.~~~
