Cupido=Saturn/Uranus and Thomas Hoving

Thomas Hoving, who died this week, was the director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. By anyone's standards, he had a hugely successful career but in his natal chart, he had Cupido=Saturn/Uranus (by major aspect) which is a contentious or problematic picture for art activity. The whole picture was Cupido=Node=Hades=Saturn/Uranus (64H/approx 10' orb). From his obituary: "Early in his tenure, however, he helped organize an exhibition that almost ruined his career. “Harlem on My Mind,” a 1969 multimedia show of photographs and recordings focused on the history of Harlem, was intended, as Mr. Hoving later wrote, “to chronicle the creativity of the downtrodden blacks and at the same time encourage them to come to the museum. Instead it enraged many New Yorkers, black and otherwise, who saw the show — an exhibition in a major art museum that included no paintings or sculpture — as paternalistic and insulting." Michael Jackson also had a huge career in the arts and also had Cupido=Saturn/Uranus. For him, at least in part, I think it manifested as the Pepsi commercial accident (when his hair was set on fire) as well as other accidents which contributed to his use of painkillers and plastic surgery.

Bibi Netanyahoo had Cupido=Saturn/Uranus when he was unseated by an opposition coalition
