S+P Worldnews: Today (14-APR-2016) 44 yrs ago David BOWIE's FAME began with the release of the Single STARMAN (B-Side SUFFRAGETTE CITY) on APR-14-1972!

14-APRIL-1972
The Day of the Beginning of the
RISE & FAME
of
STARMAN
DAVID BOWIE

On THIS DAY/14-APR exactly 44 yrs ago (on 14-APR-1972) Davie BOWIE's RISE TO FAME began.

(HE was somewhat famous before in 1969 with ' SPACE ODDITY', but 'STARMAN' made him WORLD-FAMOUS...)

With his SINGLE 'STARMAN' (B-Side ' SUFFRAGETTE CITY') released on 14th APRIL 1972 in the UK (It might be that for the US it was END OF APRIL 1972?) his RISE to FAME began...
The LP 'ZIGGY STARDUST & THE SPIDERS FROM MARS'was released on 16-JUNE-1972:

So in MY EYES the SONG 'STARMAN' (and SUFFRAGETTE CITY!) must get special credits.... :-)

DB's RISE TO FAME ended - as we all know by now - with his death on 10-JAN-2016/this year.

This one has SOUND only, no VID - but comes with TEXT!...

David Robert Jones's
(David BOWIE's)
Quite likely CORRECT NATAL TIME = CHART
(Infos came from DAVID BOWIE personally via PAUL KINDER to ME)
with a BIRTH TIME of 22h59m
and NOT 09h00 or 09h15m or 23h50...

here is more info about his birth time:

As you can see....(22h59m)
(90% of all astrologers out there use a b-time of 09h00 or 09h15m or 23h50m. BOTH times came - strangely - via LOIS RODDEN. In the link below all is explained...)

As you can see....
(Confirmation of Mr. Paul Kinder!)

It also makes ASTROLOGICALLY SENSE, because in 1971 to the end of 1972 JUPITER was several times in square to PLUTO, and BOTH Planets were on the MOST IMPORTANT=PERSONAL POINTS of BOWIE's Horoscope...

PLUTO was on his RISING SIGN around 01° LIBRA and JUPITER was squaring it and later on his IC/MC at around 02°CAPRICORN!

(JUPITER-PLUTO aspects often can bring BIG SUCCESS!...)

(of course you DON'T HAVE this with ALL THE OTHER BIRTHTIMES...)

;-)

On that day (14-APR-1972) there was a VENUS-MARS Conjunction at around 10-12° GEMINI (SEX & EROTIC!) in Trine/120° to 'freaky/outreageous/sexually experimenting' URANUS at 15° LIBRA!

SO TYPICALLY for BOWIE's FIRST WORLDWIDE AIRING!

Especially if you don't forget that the VENUS-MARS Conjunction was also in Trine/120° to his NEPTUNE in his first house - where also transiting URANUS was...

BOTH Planets (URANUS and NEPTUNE) have to do with 'otherworldliness', 'alien stuff' the 'unusual', the 'offbeaten', the 'strange', while URANUS can be more 'shocking' and 'surprising', NEPTUNE is more 'mysterious' and 'fogy' - but both are somehow an ENIGMA to a lot of people...

(I might one day post a blog about BOWIE's RISE TO FAME from 1967 to 1972 - or maybe I'll do it also in KINDLE FORMAT for a rather low and affordable prize like 04.97 US/CHF...)
