Most of us are aware of this so-called mid-life aspect, which usually comes in our late 30's or early 40's along with the Uranus opposition. I personally underwent a breakup with my partner of 15 years when it hit me back in 2001.
Chester Bennington, lead singer of the band Linkin Park, was born on March 20, 1976. His Sun at about half a degree of Aries was hard squared to his Sun-ruler Mars at 1 Cancer. He was physically bullied in high school. In an interview, he said, "I was knocked around like a rag doll at school".
In another interview, he said, "There's something inside me that pulls me down." Perhaps this had something to do with this aspect, as was this Wikipedia entry of a man (Mars) victimizing him (Sun) : Bennington and his wife were harassed by a cyberstalker named Devon Townsend for almost a year. Townsend was found guilty of tampering with the couple's email, as well as sending threatening messages, and was later sentenced to two years in prison.
Also attributable to this aspect were the following comments made about him: "His cleanly articulated tales of emotional struggle gave millions the sense that someone understood them", and "Bennington's voice embodied the anguish and wide-ranging emotions of the lyrics, from capturing life's vulnerable moments to the fury and catharsis found in his belted screams, which he would often move between at the turn of a dime."
When he was born, Neptune was at exactly 13 Sag 57. Sadly, with all respect and for purely educational purposes this post is made, he committed suicide yesterday. Neptune was at exactly 13 Pis 57. Not even an arc minute off. How humbling and scary astrology can be.
