This is a fascinating piece, well-written and presented. It's a rabbit hole worth exploring (Elvis was such a remarkable man in many ways), and I'm left wondering what the synastry chart between them shows.

Thank you so much! The synastry as well as the composite chart looks pretty bad, they really didn’t have the same attitude towards life, and they were extremely different temperamentally. Both could be hot-headed and passionate, but Elvis was definitely not on the vindictive side, and he was a lot more spiritually deep than her. They were a complete mismatch, and I don’t believe for a minute that Elvis was overly keen on getting married. Elvis gets so much hate, especially since that Priscilla movie, which is full of factual inaccuracies. I think he was a very kind and warm person at heart, and not a ”groomer“. He didn’t have the patience for it to begin with, he got bored very easily. I can’t see him obsessively chasing after some schoolgirl, especially not since the whole Jerry Lee Lewis scandal had shaken the entertainment business. He wouldn’t have been stupid enough to fool around with an underage girl for everyone to see. When he left Germany after the army, there were photos taken of him and Priscilla on the car ride to the airport, and also of Priscilla as she waved goodbye. I can’t believe an actual predator would be so stupid as to parade his prey in front of the international press. People really enjoy this whole ”he groomed a child“ narrative, and I think it says more about them than the actual history. Not that he was perfect, but a predator? Not from what I’ve seen in the astrology, and I would say otherwise if I had reason to.

I agree with you on all fronts - while no saint and a man of his times, his depth, compassion and humanity shine through. I adored him and his music, particularly his later stuff - In The Gehtto, Always On My Mind. And that come back show, when hes messing with his band in front of a small intimtate crowd, sitting round on chairs, laughing and joking - ive watched over and over. I for one still love Elvis!

Thank you so much! I'm not sure about the book, there already are a few good ones out there, but unfortunately, they don't get the same attention as that of a certain individual... I believe that Elvis, an imperfect human being like all of us, is being massively misrepresented and vilified. But the truth has a way of coming out.

Loved reading this, love your ways of expressing, thank you. Good to know the Truth as displayed by one's birth chart, something not able to be argued against. Those last six words ey!

WOW…. Just… WOW. The time, effort, care, and expertise required for such an analysis HAD TO BE IMMENSE. Absolutely brilliant. Thank you for showing me, a recovering reductionist materialist scientist HOW IT IS DONE. BRAVO!
