Galactic Journeys Ahead with Virgin
So if you haven't heard, Billionaire Richard Branson is ready to send tourists into space and build a $225 million spaceport in New Mexico. In fact today (12-13)our minds and thoughts (Mercury/Sagittarius) ready to move into the Solar System and out into the Galaxy is mirrored by Branson's new company Virgin Galactic has agreed to locate its world's headquarters and Mission Control in New Mexico. Not only will we have a new spaceport but a place for newbie astronauts (not NASA trained) to experience weightlessness and a vision of the whole beautiful planet. Why is this happening now? Why is this zany entrepreneur Richard Branson leading the way?
Let's examine the natal foundation for Solar Cancerian, Lunar Virgo Branson with dramatic Leo rising and see what's up.
Music - Neptune and Triangle of Power
Branson once said "The music industry is a strange combination of having real and intangible assets: pop bands are brand names in themselves, and at a given stage in their careers their name alone can practically guarantee hit records.
" Music was the vehicle that that pushed Branson to initial success (Mars/Neptune conjunction in 3rd) His start came with a mail order business selling records in 1970 and then opened a record shop in London shortly afterwards. Then by 1972 had his own record label Virgin Records in partnership with Nik Powell. Virgin's first issue was multi-instrumentalist Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells, which was a mega best-seller. Not only does Branson's ability to communicate to the world via his Neptune/Mars conjunction in 3rd but it gains power with a favorable, easy to use sextile to Pluto/Leo on his ascendant. People with Pluto at the angles are intense, obsessive and powerful influences. Pluto when added to Mars gives Branson the wherewithal to accomplish large projects that require an excess of energy. Completing this "Trangle of Power" is another fiery placement of Chiron in Sagittarius found the 5th the domain of creative pursuits, risk taking and pushing the adventure envelope further out. Witness the fact that Branson crossed the Pacific Ocean from Japan to Arctic Canada, a distance of 7,672 km (4,767 miles)in a hot air balloon reaching incredible speeds of 245 mph (394 km/h).
Diversify with Action and Luck
When it comes to trying things new and different in business and in a big way Branson steals the show. His lunar phase is New Moon (known for impulsive activity)and his chart is dominated by an active Cardinal orientation weighted towards fire.
Not only is he someone that ventures out and with Venus at 24Gemini in the 11th along with Uranus he really enjoys something completely different and even a little eccentric especially in the area of friendships. In fact the unexpected fountain of success flows freely for Branson with Jupiter (expansion) found in 8th house of others money in positive trine to Uranus (the innovative and surprising). By keeping with his theory of branding (Sun in Cancer means tradition) - He formed Virgin Atlantic Airways in 1984, launched Virgin Mobile in 1999, Virgin Blue in Australia in 2000, and but failed in a 2000 bid to handle the National Lottery.
