Janet Jackson's background

Janet Jackson is a star singer, well known as being a Jackson. But her performance at the Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show shocked America, well some of the more faint-hearted who suffer from the USA's perverse inability to publicly admit that people have nipples. Justin Timberlake , who was singing with Janet, pulled open her top, revealing her right breast and a nipple shield for a split-second. The subeequent furore has come to be known as Nipplegate, and in typical sexist fashion has boosted Timberlake's career, while damaging Janet's.

Janet had her 'wardrobe malfunction' at the Super Bowl XXXVIII , about 15 minutes into the halftime show of a 4 hour plus game that kicked off at 5.25 in Texas, i.e. at about 19:40.

The transits at the approximate moment of Nipplegate were

Transiting Ascendent sextile Janet's Jupiter

Transiting Moon semisextile Janet's Mars

Transiting Moon square Janet's Chiron

Transiting Sun square Janet's Mercury

Transiting Sun sextile Janet's Venus

Transiting Mercury trine Janet's Mars

Transiting Mercury sextile Janet's Neptune

Transiting Venus sextile Janet's Mars

Transiting Venus trine Janet's Neptune

Transiting Jupiter possibly sextile Janet's Ascendent

The claimed time of Janet's birth, at 7pm, is only rated as DD, i.e. very unreliable, so the Jupiter to Ascendent transit should be taken with a pinch of salt.

The chart shown is Janet Jackson's birthchart, together with transits for 19:40 on the day of the 2004 Superbowl around the outside. Aspect lines [traditional] are between the transits and her birthchart.
