Quinnie : You said: "You know I think if we're talking music of the spheres I would say the conductor would be the Planet saturn, through Saturn there is structure to sounds and time...rhthym and beat to music."

How do you think that would apply to "composing" someone's chart? I have my own ideas about it, but I'd like to get other points of view...

Also, thanks for starting this topic

Apollo : You are right! It may take more than one try .... when I am done with Danita's, I will try yours if you still want.

So, I have a question for you... what made you want to ask about the "music of the spheres"?

(*waves* to Aphrodite. Hi there )

Ooops, sorry, got busy for a minute there ... anyway

Like you, I have always felt that the music someone creates or likes to listen to definitely must correlate to the music vibrations of their particular chart. Some sounds, chords, rhythms, and instruments even, will appeal to you more than others. I guess that is good, as everybody's taste will be as diverse as thier charts!

As far as the actual interpretation is concerned, when I think about composing a chart it seems logical to me to work through the houses starting with the first. For instance, you could compose segments based on all the forces, elements and aspects in a particular house and then segue to the next. In the end you would have a sort of musical chart or story of that person and each segment would relate directly to a particular area of one's life. For example, 1st House-personal, 4th House-family/home, 7th house-marriage/parnerships, etc... and you could keep it simple or get really deep into the house, depending on what kind of "reading" it is. All the planets and aspects in each house would determine it's "feel" and musical mood, as well as chords and melody.

Also, I feel like there are probably many other ways to do it as well and I want to try different approaches. I suppose another way would be to find all the chords in the chart represented by a mix of aspects and houses and then play them over a somewhat set background that would consist of all the major musical attributes of each of the person's planets. For instance, we would then base the whole rhythm on Saturn and Mars, mood on Moon and Venus, complexity on Merc, power on Pluto etc. etc.. In this way you could probably get a general sense of a person as a whole and it wouldn't be so focused on the actual chart or story.

Ah, such a lot to go ponder!

Well, let me know if you decide to try to work on your chart with your guitar. That is so cool that you play! When I finish Danitas and possibly Apollo's (Apollo? You around? ) I would love to try yours too if you don't mind. Also, it is interesting to think that even though chords and influences would likely be the same between two musical interpretations of the same chart, the actual delivery would be unique to the individual who produces it...
so, with Danita's chart it will be "An Aquarius chart produced by a Pisces" (as a generic title ) but I bet a Libra or Sag would have a different way of looking at it.... I wonder....

Well, take care! Talk to you soon!

Hi, just wanted to let you know about a tidbit of info I recently ran into regarding the music of the planets...

I have a cd called the Delta Synch Sleep System that uses musical soundscapes to deliver Delta waves to your brain which will make you relax and sleep deeper. Anyway, I was reading the info booklet and it said that some of the sounds used in the soundscapes are from natural and primal sources (like human body sounds, nature, etc), well, one of the other sounds used are from NASA, acquired when Voyager took a trip and recorded the actual sounds that the outer planets make. I have never heard of these recordings or heard them isolated, but it seems like they would be a nice thing to hear... I'm gonna try to find out more about the recordings. I'll let you know if I find anything.

I always wondered about the experiment Linda talked of with red, iron, C-major etc. I'd love to see that experiment being carried out. I also wonder how pearly's going with her compositions?

And where is eternal?

"A NOTE FROM THE COMPOSER ...
From ancient times, man has sought to hear the concordance of harmonies suggested by the motion of the stars and planets - the "Music of the Spheres". My intuitive sense is that such 'timeless' music, like that which is heard on this album, will evoke that same quality in each of us. It is to this end that this album is dedicated."

It really is quite beautiful, unfortunately I only have it on vinyl and my record player broke a while back.

Here is his list of signs and keynotes:
Aries - C
*Taurus - C#
Gemini - D
*Cancer - Eb
Leo - E
Virgo - F
*Libra - F#
Scorpio - G
*Sagittarius - Ab
Capricorn - A
*Aquarius - Bb
Pisces - B

*Please excuse my lower case b as a symbol for a flat and the number symbol # for a sharp.

He also has four other songs on here entitled, Blues for Arcturus, Sky Boat Theme, Moonrise over Orion, and The Heard Eye.

Oh, yes, later on the back cover it says, "Moreover, the arrangement of selections and frequency-specific keynotes on Side 1 lends itself to a visualization/meditation on the signs of the Zodiac. Listeners report that this astrological attunement helps to bring one's entire chart into greater alignment.
This is not without historical precedent. For centuries, researchers have noted teh relationship between the 12 keynotes of the musical octave and the twelve signs of the zodiac. The message might well be: 'If we can but find the proper key, we can play ourselves like the strings of a cosmic harp - and tune into the music of our universal nature.'"

For those of you unfamiliar with musical scales, the notes follow the order of the key of C, starting with Aries at the note of C and progressing in half steps.

I wonder if the Sun Sign or the Ascendant represents the "key" you're in in this life. Perhaps it depends on your frequency? You start at your Sun Sign key but can move up to your Ascendant key? I say this in regards to the idea that the Ascendant represents your true individuality, ie, your Higher S-elf and the ray under which s/he operates. I'm not sure if that applies in all cases or in any cases, just a theory I came across that interested me.
12 signs, 12 houses, 12 planets and luminaries (eventually with Vulcan and Pan Horus) and 12 basic keynotes ... I would think that logically your Ascendant would represent the key you're in in this life as it's the start of your chart. It makes sense to me anyway. My absolute favorite song is Serenade No. 10 in Bb by Mozart, it gives me chills, and my Ascendant is Aquarius which corresponds to Bb. I just wish I could unravel how the planet/sign interaction would occur ... say, Sun in Virgo ... the Sun would be E (leo) while Virgo is F and there's no half step to compromise upon. Hmmmm ... though I do suspect the aspects formed would create either harmonious or inharmonious chords, not to mention the transits ... but how? Perhaps the Sun would lead the main melody or theme? <sigh>

Okay, please, please excuse my rambling ...

Imagine hearing your own music that u created in your chart.

This is a beautiful thread

I often hear music before I go to sleep, but because usually they occur when I'm really sleepy, I don't bother recording them. With the lyrics, usually they come after I wake up, and this is a bit easier to handle as I have a dream journal.
