Luciano Pavarotti
Recent news of the hospitalization of Italian opera
star Luciano Pavarotti reveals that he could be released
soon. His astrological chart clearly holds up under
Systems' Approach analysis.
With Cancer rising, Pavarotti's functional malefic planets
are Rahu, Ketu, Jupiter, and Saturn. Jupiter seems to
be cause of many of his problems. His mom's severe heart
condition is reflected in Jupiter's affliction to the
4th house. Because of Jupiter's affliction to the 4th,
8th, and 12th houses, his marriage of 35 years collapsed
after he revealed an affair with a younger staff member.
The very weak Jupiter is in the 5th house and both represent
the pancreas. In a Rahu/Ketu period, he underwent surgery
to remove a malignant tumor from his pancreas. Jupiter
also rules the hips and he had hip surgery in July,
1998 during a Rahu/Jupiter period. During the same period,
he was ordered to pay $2.5 million in back taxes to
the Italian government. Jupiter rules the house of sickness,
debt, and lawsuits. Pavarotti's professional image has
been tainted by his inclination to cancel his performances
leading one opera house to sever its ties with the unpredictable
singer. This is the result of Jupiter's effect on the
10th house.
On the positive side, the strong Mars, ruler of the
10 house in the 5th house of entertainment and the strong
1st house ruler, Moon, in the 9th house of good fortune
have been blessings. Aside from being slightly combust,
Mercury is otherwise strong thus making Sun and Venus
also strong through dispositorship. Sun, ruler of the
2nd house of status, wealth, and family (he now has
four daughters and one granddaughter) benefits from
the rays of a strong Moon from the 9th house.

Addendum:
Pavarotti died September 6, 2007 from pancreatic cancer.
Rahu is the main period lord and Venus rules the subperiod.
Transiting Saturn afflicts weak natal Mercury. The stationary
and powerful Rahu-Ketu axis hold weak natal Venus in
their grip and afflict natal Saturn, significator for
longevity, in the 8th house. 1st house ruler, Moon,
was passing through the 12th house of endings.
