The Book of Music Horoscopes

First class collection of short essays, birth data and birth charts

Masterfully compiled in 2018 by well known UK astrologer Frank Clifford, The Book Of Music Horoscopes features over 500 birth charts of famous pop, rock, soul, country and jazz performers. There are over 30 essays on the astrology of music, contributed by a wide range of experienced astrologers. With one or two brief exceptions, classical music and musicians are not covered.

Amongst the more well-known astrologers featured, Steven Forrest writes on Neptune’s journey through the signs, looking at the corresponding myths and moods for each 15-year time period since the 1940s. Psychological astrologer Lynn Bell contributes a piece on The Moon, the Musician and the Listening Public, which includes a brief analysis of Joni Mitchell’s chart.

Other short essays include a detailed look at the birth charts of Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page by Mandi Lockley, Dave Grohl’s chart by Michelle Young and Madonna by Deborah Perera. I am proud to have contributed The Aquarian, Uranian Nature of Progressive Rock to the book, a slightly different version of which can be found here. Depending on taste, one or two of the essays are perhaps not up to the high standard on show, but overall this is a great book – tons of info and plenty to keep the reader entertained in general !
