Okay, thank you Tim - that was/is my intention for this Thread . As you can see, there is a natal and event chart posted, and I view this thread as a 'work in progress' for myself and others who would like to offer their astrological opinions.
As you might see in my 2nd post - I highlighted significant "indicators" of Prince's talent/skills/etc - with the intent of breaking them down to study points.
I will delete the link to his song which I posted, since it may not be considered astrological.
SO..........
Shall we discuss the natal chart and how/where we might find the following Talking Points in it?
Possible Astrological Indicators in Natal Chart.....
showman and dancer and musician and instrumentalist
mars critical degree aries on 5th cusp - a "creator/creative force"
ruler of Asc conjunct MC. his persona was powerfully embraced by the masses and was his unique signature.
died at home/work
moon in 4th - end of life circumstance
homeland
moon in 4th - never left Minneapolis as "home"
feminine quality
ruler of 7th venus in 6th - opposing neptune 12th - he dressed in feminized matter, wore make up that diffused his masculinity
bucking of authority / rebellion
problems with contracts negotiated
ruler of 7th house Venus squaring Uranus
bondage/locking in others
moon/pluto opposition - 'possessing' 'not letting go'
saturn trine pluto - from 10th to 2nd - power of belief that others were 'possessions'?
sun-saturn opposition - from 2nd to 8th
child with a severe birth disability died a week after birth
converted to Jehovah's Witnesses
secretive, reclusive
neptune in 12th conjunct n.node. the aura of mystery - hiding from the world - and considering his public and private persona of Asc ruler on 10th trining neptune in 12th with node - his fitting destiny to live in the neptunian way of two different worlds.
Small of stature and fragile in appearance
Asc ruler square Saturn in 2nd - restrictions and limitations due to his physical size. As well, 5th house Mars squaring Saturn in 2nd - I would guess that he may have even had an eating disorder or very limited diet, given Mars rulership of 6th house as well.
extremely athletic
shown by critical degree mars in Aries on 5th with the quinx to Pluto 10th - it seemed to be well known by others in his career, but not something he was ever given credit for other than in passing.
vulgar sexuality
Sun in 8th in mercurial gemini opposing Saturn - it was probably impossible for him to restrain the constant mental stimulation of his own sexuality.
These are just starting points for discussion - general at best - hope others will add in more depth and thanks to those who have already offered some insights into the natal chart.
Observing Neptune in the 12th, I'm sure he was quite an introspective person, with hidden sensitivities, insecurities, and fears. Perhaps he took certain sedatives to calm his nerves and no one knew of it. Something could've been eating at him within, which is what caused the nerves he was feeling hours before his death. He took many pills, first taking pain medications for his hips, then he may have taken something to neutralize his epilepsy, at the time, he was taking pills to neutralize the flu symptoms, and he may have other medications he was taking. He was unresponsive on the plane when they made an emergency landing (possible medication overdose), and it was hidden from the public until after his passing.
Edit: Looks like I was right. Hidden phobias...

Interesting enough, I have Saturn in 2nd, and I'm quite frail in the same way. Being a
vegan, I'm sure he didn't have all of the nutrients he needed. He had to take certain supplements. With Venus in the 6th, he never had a problem caring for his health before, but possibly had indulgent tendencies. Possibly loved work and over-did things.
Focusing on the fact that he may have been dehydrated...and the fact that he was left alone at his estate, knowing how he had been "unresponsive" on the plane before. Anyone peep an aspect or house placement that reflects this?
I want to add that he has the same Moon sign MJ had. They both had mothers who were Witnesses. Both had Moon-Pluto aspect. Both were very sensitive and recluses. Both suffered drug addictions (but considering the generation, Prince being close to Pluto in Virgo and MJ having Pluto in Virgo, they were drugs for dealing with mental and physical health). Both had Venus in 6th (they loved their work and strangely died around the time they had worked their hardest).
