Jimmy Page

Some souls arrive already old, already carrying a plan for the summit. Jimmy Page is one of them. Born on the ninth of January, 1944, he climbed from the anonymous grind of London session work into the founding of Led Zeppelin, and this is Capricorn Sun logic through and through: the Sun shines here in Saturn's disciplined house, an old-soul climber whose whole identity organises around craft, reputation and the slow, dependable ascent to the highest rung. That Sun sits in his second house, the realm of worth and resources, so he built something of enduring value, the rock of a band, riffs that keep their weight like gold coins that never lose their price. Yet beneath the reserved architect lives a Cancer Moon in its own home, a double-whammy Moon, notoriously psychic, feeling everything, tuned to the tides. Placed in the eighth house, that Moon is the phoenix and the survivor, drawn to what is hidden, buried, occult. His Scorpio rising completes the portrait: the intense, all-or-nothing mask, the piercing survivor who sees straight through the phony. Session player, Yardbird, twice a Hall of Fame inductee, the pontiff of power riffing. Old soul, deep well, master of the dark and thunderous.
