The work is still regarded as a standard reference on the composer’s life. Ludwig van Beethoven and PhilosophyĪlexander Wheelock Thayer (1817–1897) was the author of the first biography of Ludwig van Beethoven. Nonetheless thousands, perhaps millions of persons have experienced something that is only expressed in terms of spiritual philosophy, for example, ‘transfiguration’, when listening to the music of Ludwig van Beethoven. Scientific orthodoxy will not accept the ‘supersensible’. There are various placements, however, that can indicate the potentially subversive intrusion of supersensory phenomena. The slow-moving outer planets are traditionally regarded as ‘impersonal’ factors in a horoscope, marking the character and experience of an entire generation. Only love of God, and the gift of music-that there was so much more music he had yet to give to the world-saved Beethoven from self-annihilation.Ī further notable configuration in the natal horoscope is the Grand Trine formed between Neptune, Uranus and Pluto in the earth triplicity.

Survival of that period was accomplished by a heroic effort of will. As the 2nd house generally governs the physical body, it is impossible not to think of the crippling deafness that brought the maestro to the brink of suicide.

Mars, from his location in the 8th house, sends three formidable opposing rays against the Sun, Moon and Mercury in the 2nd house. Mars is the Lord of the Horoscope, as ruler of the Scorpio Ascendant.

There are and will be a thousand princes there is only one Beethoven.” “What you are, you are by accident of birth what I am, I am by myself. Beethoven famously said to the noble Prince Lichnowsky (a patron and admirer), When his brother once acquired some land and signed himself as “van Beethoven, land proprietor”, Beethoven replied, “van Beethoven, brain proprietor”. On hearing the news, Beethoven took the front page of the score for his 3rd Symphony, upon which he had written a dedication to Bonaparte, and tore it in half, separating his name from that of the self-proclaimed Emperor. He supported the French Revolution until Napoleon declared himself Emperor. While exalting the women to the heights (Saturn at Midheaven), Beethoven would remain isolated in the relationship for one reason or another, and so unable to form what was in those days called ‘an attachment’ with the object of his desire.Īnecdotes and letters show the Uranian element to be very powerful with Beethoven. Women of ‘noble breeding’ were expected to play a little music as an ‘accomplishment’, so their husbands would not be bored by their company. The unaspected Venus in Capricorn in the 3rd house of the chart indicates that Beethoven had an inclination towards falling in love with women that he taught the piano to. Cheer up-remain my true, my only love, my all as I am yours.”

“My heart is full of so many things to say to you-ah-there are moments when I feel that speech amounts to nothing at all. It was addressed to “you, my Immortal Beloved”, and went on to include, In July 1812, the composer spent two days writing a now famous love letter that he never sent, and possibly never intended to send. In the case of his love for Antonie Brentano, the problem was that she was already married. That is to say, the women were unattainable by virtue of their higher social class or ‘position’. Beethoven never married but fell passionately in love with a succession of unattainable women. The field of the 7th house embraces ‘all others’, including any marriage partners. The disruptiv e placement of Uranus in the 7th house indicates misfortune in matters of love. Friends and patrons alike found him unconventional, uncompromising and ‘difficult’. Beethoven openly despised the rigid class system of the time. The position of Uranus in Taurus directly opposite his Scorpio Ascendant is descriptive of his love for ancient traditions combined with magnetic compulsion towards individual freedom and liberty. This is apt considering that Beethoven developed the music of the Classical era so far beyond its existing parameters that many persons at the time could not comprehend what he was doing.īorn at the dark of the Moon, Beethoven was strongly influenced by the revolutionary movement in Europe. Jupiter, ruler of Sagittarius, is accentuated by conjunction with the Sun. His horoscope has the Sun, Moon and Mercury in Sagittarius.
