The Rolling Stones's background

What makes The Rolling Stones such a great example?

The Rolling Stones's background

The Rolling Stones are still going, making them the death-defying epitome of longevity. Also, as one half of the 'Beatles and [his] Stones', they were the bad boys of Rock'n'Roll in the Sixties, and Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, proved to be every bit as important as songwriters and musicians, as did John Lennon and Paul McCartney. In fact Mick'n'Keef proved to be a far more enduring partnership - not just one decade, but six and counting! It is that relationship, between Mick Jagger and Keith Richards that really is of interest from an astrological perspective.

19430726 and 19431218 Births of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards

The thing about Mick and Keith, as seen in their birthcharts, is that you can see how they needed, inspired, and loved one another, despite their relationship not exactly being a meeting of minds.

Keith almost has the classic guitarist motif of Mars conjunct Uranus, and as with the comedy pairing of Spike Milligan with Peter Sellers, that extra peceision for the conjunction is provided by the other person, i.e. Mick makes Keith a better guitarist than he can be on his own.

Of all the women involved with the Rolling Stones, and who might possibly have come between Mick and Keith, two stand out, and they are Marianne Faithfull and Anita Pallenberg . Anita particularly was known to have been a great influence on the Stones, and it is unsurprising considering her stars, which include a conjunction of Saturn and Uranus, and another of Jupiter and Mars.

Anita first met the Stones when she went backstage after they played at the Circus Krone in Munich on 14 September 1965. She then became friends with Brian Jones, and then girlfriend until the violent incident in Morocco in March 1967. It is easy to see that they were two of a kind

It is notable that their romance started when Jupiter was both trine her Venus and square her Neptune, and while the conjunction of Pluto and Uranus that marked the Swinging Sixties was square her conjunction of Jupiter and Mars.

Anita Pallenberg left Morocco with Keith Richards on 16 March 1967, after a physical altercation between Jones and Pallenberg, and their relationship really got going by mid-April, lasting until 1980, and survived an affair that Anita had with Mick while filming Performance. Filming took place in 1968, involving Mick and Anita from 2 September until October. During this time Keith started using heroin, and with Mick was supportive of Brian during the latter's court case for drug use.

19680903 Performance, Mick Jagger and Anita Pallenberg

The filming of Performance got the relationship between Mick and Anita to where it needed to be. What we see here on the inner is the composite chart for Mick and Anita, and around the outer the transits for 3 September 1968, when filming had got underway. This really couldn't be more clearcut, especially with transiting Mars conjunct composite Chiron.
