Whitney Houston Dies 12 February 2012
(CBS/AP) Updated Feb. 12, 2012, 1:56 AM ETLOS ANGELES - Whitney Houston, who ruled as pop music's queen until her majestic voice and regal image were ravaged by drug use, erratic behavior and a tumultuous marriage to singer Bobby Brown, died Saturday. She was 48.Beverly Hills police Lt. Mark Rosen told reporters outside the Beverly Hilton that Houston was pronounced dead at 3:55 p.m. in her room on the fourth floor of the hotel. Her body remained there and Beverly Hills detectives were investigating. "There were no obvious signs of any criminal intent at this time," Rosen said.Houston's publicist, Kristen Foster, said Saturday that the cause of her death was unknown.Rosen said police received a 911 call from hotel security about Houston at 3:43 p.m. Saturday. Paramedics who were already at the hotel because of a Grammy party unsuccessfully tried to resuscitate the singer, he said.Beverly Hills Police Department later issued a statement:""Whitney Houston was pronounced dead that the scene by members of her entourage which included friends, co-workers, and family. Ms. Houston's daughter and mother were notified of her death."The statement also added that "the investigation is currently being conducted" and that "there is no additional information at this time." "The actual cause of death will be determined by the L.A. Co. Coroner's Office," it said. Houston's death came on the eve of music's biggest night -- the Grammy Awards. It's a showcase where she once reigned, and her death was sure to cast a heavy pall on Sunday's ceremony.
A precocious beauty with virtuosity and lyrical authority, Whitney began a carefully planned career in 1981 with TV commercials and guest spots. She also modeled in Glamour and Vogue and sang club dates with her mother, Cissy. With her debut album, Houston sold over 18 million copies world wide. She has surpassed the Beatles in consecutive No.1 hits and been the recipient of Grammy's, American Music Awards, People's Choice Awards, Emmys and Entertainer of the Year given by NAACP. Described as an extraordinary talent, ethereal yet warm, she was considered a gifted singer. Cousin Dionne Warwick and close family friend Aretha Franklin were two of her role models. Videos prepared her for films, but being reluctant she had to be assured by Kevin Costner, her costar in 1992's "The Bodyguard," that he would always be there, she would look good and be protected. The soundtrack album sold more than ten million in the states, staying on top of the charts for 20 weeks. The single "I Will Always Love You" sold more than a million copies in the first week.Houston met future husband, R&B singer Bobby Brown, in 1989. She had a squeaky clean image where he was from the streets. He proposed in September 1991 and they were married in July 1992. There were reports of a stormy marriage, but one in which there was obviously strong dynamics of attraction. In early 2000, the storm of rumors around Houston became more tangible, and more serious, when she began canceling engagements at the last minute, or not showing up for hours. Speculation ran to whether she was doing drugs or playing diva but either way, she was reaping bad press and a reluctance from promoters to book her. On March 16, 2004, the singer’s publicist announced that Whitney had entered a drug rehab programme and she admitted in a December 2002 tv programme that she had abused drugs. In mid-September 2006, she announced that she and Bobby Brown had separated and officially filed for divorce from Bobby Brown on October 16, 2006.
The Centaur Pholus, at 16-28' of Aquarius opposite her Sun, can indicate fame, but also the opportunity of transformation through the realisation of a deep longing of something that will never materialise and needs to be accepted, then released.Chiron also makes a wedge configuration with the Virgo stellium and Neptune and this was her way out. It presented her with the means to have her voice heard by using it artistically and thereby gaining the adulation and boost to her self-esteem that her Sun-Venus in Leo craved. The Virgo stellium also indicates an obsession with attention to detail and perfection regarding the body and health matters and it is known that she overdosed on diet pills after the birth of her daughter.The support of her mother in her career can be gleaned from the Moon-Jupiter conjunction in Aries trine the Mc and sextile Saturn. The Moon as ruler of her 5th House of creativity conjunct Jupiter, ruler of the Mc and in the 2nd House, indicate her success at earning a living. Mars, its ruler, is on the cusp of the 8th House of death and transformation at 8-29' of Libra and on the Uranus/Neptune midpoint at 8-41' of Libra, indicating disruption and loss in all 8th house matters.
Whitney Houston was born on 9th August 1963, 20.55 EDT, Newark, New Jersey. 40 N 44' 074 W 10'.Pisces is rising and Chiron is conjunct the Ascendant opposite a Uranus, Mercury, Pluto conjunction in Virgo and all square the Mc, indicating the initial wounding; the suppression of her individual self-expression. This is echoed by the Sun-Venus conjunction in Leo in square to Neptune in Scorpio and opposite Saturn in Aquarius, again making a t-square, which suggests the control others had over her and the subsequent lack of her own identity and self-worth.
Yesterday, when she died, transiting Pluto was square that point at 8-41' of Capricorn, activating her 11th House and a potential conflict situation arising between transformation of her goals and the loss of personal power. L.S.
