Schubert Franz

Franz Peter Schubert ; 31 January 1797 – 19 November 1828)

Introduction

He was an Austrian composer. Schubert died before his 32nd birthday, but was extremely prolific during his lifetime. His output consists of over 600 secular vocal works (mainly Lieder), seven complete symphonies, sacred music, operas, incidental music and a large body of chamber and piano music.
Appreciation of Schubert's music while he was alive was limited to a relatively small circle of admirers in Vienna, but interest in his work increased significantly in the decades following his death. Felix Mendelssohn, Robert Schumann, Franz Liszt, Johannes Brahms and other 19th-century composers discovered and championed his works. Today, Schubert is ranked among the greatest composers of the late Classical and early Romantic eras and is one of the most frequently performed composers of the early 19th century.

• MC PISCES, ruler JUPITER, in X, near MOON
• SUN weak (++) in AQUARIUS, VIII
• MARS strong (+) in ARIES
• SATURN # VENUS radix

• MARKHAB  conj LUNA (but domitude 271°, so mundane conj with MC : If culminating: Disgrace, ruin and often a violent death. [Robson, p.174.] Tied up with propitious stellar bodies, Markhab is said to influence above all the spiritual and mental nature, to give a good head for figures, intellectual alertness, mental powers in general and last but not least, the ability to further propaganda activity, if at the same time relevant aspects are also present.)
• FOMALHAUT conj MC (domitude 302°, so mundane conj with LUNA ; It is said to be very fortunate and powerful and yet to cause malevolence of sublime scope and character, and change from a material to a spiritual form of expression [Robson, p.165-166.]
• ALPHERATZ conj MARS (domitude 293°, so mundane conj with JUPITER : Philosophical or religious mind, benefits from professional men, ecclesiastical honor and dignity, favorable for gain).
• VEGA conj VENUS (domitude 229°, so mundane conj with SUN : It is said to give an harmonious, poetical and developed nature, fond of music and apt in science and art, but inclined to theft, Robson, 1923, p.51, 216, 231, 235.)

In the midst of this creative activity, his health deteriorated. The cause of his death was officially diagnosed as typhoid fever, though other theories have been proposed, including the tertiary stage of syphilis.[62] By the late 1820s, Schubert's health was failing and he confided to some friends that he feared that he was near death. In the late summer of 1828, the composer saw court physician Ernst Rinna, who may have confirmed Schubert's suspicions that he was ill beyond cure and likely to die soon. Some of his symptoms matched those of mercury poisoning (mercury was then a common treatment for syphilis, again suggesting that Schubert suffered from it). At the beginning of November, he again fell ill, experiencing headaches, fever, swollen joints, and vomiting. He was generally unable to retain solid food and his condition worsened. Schubert died in Vienna, aged 31, on 19 November 1828, at the apartment of his brother Ferdinand. [Wikipedia]

The first symptoms of syphilis seem to date back to 1823. It is interesting to analyze in particular the direction of Saturn and Venus, and Sun with Saturn.

I)- 1823

The Kassel symposium defined the crisis years as being from 1818 to 1823. The year 1823 was certainly to fit this definition, proving for Schubert to be a year of very serious illness - and extreme shortage of money. [...] In the early part of the year Schubert was extremely ill for several months with a recurrence of the secondary phase of his syphilis [© Arnold Howarth, The Schubert Institute (UK), 2002]

Schubert was the victim of several recurrences of secondary syphilis that year.

1)- So conj #Sa conv

We find in 1823 the converse : SU conj # SA.

- results

As in the previous two examples, the table above shows the detail of the directions corresponding to the current conversion key (here AR 0.98 and EQU 0.986). The table below shows all the results on all directions. It shows that there are 12 varieties of primary directions in progress in 1823, while there are none in the varieties of directions other than primary.

Given that the planetary conditions sometimes have a great influence on the arcs, I indicate each time whether the latitude is used. Note that the AO (oblique ascension) directions are sometimes used by astrologers like Lilly). Others (H. J. Gouchon) use the arcs in OA from the pole formulas, much like Makranski, especially in the calculation of the directions according to Regiomontanus.

2) Ve opp Sa conv

I often observe directions involving Venus and Saturn either when diseases are triggered or when death occurs; I have not so far observed any particular frequency involving venereal diseases (but this needs to be more documented).

- parameters

- results

We see that the results are equivalent between the two varieties of directions (primary and non-primary).

II)- 1828

Two directions are to be studied: Moon conj. Sun and Sun conj. #Sa with also another counter-parallel : #Ma conj SU. The first one is all the more interesting to consider as it will make us understand the problems related to an important latitude (Moon).

1)- MO conj SU

Here we have the direction: MO conj. SU. Consider first the arc with latitude (l = 5 ° 04'17 ") and note that here the Moon is the promissor (moving point).

- parameters

- results

I analyse in depth and quite exceptionally the results because it is, if not, difficult to understand the effects of the presence of a high latitude. And this is particularly the case for the Moon and Venus. so, we see the results with and without latitude

no latitude, prom SUN, sign MO (it is a converse direction for the mean astrologers, but it is a true direct with ancient astrologers).

no latitude, prom MO, sign SU (it is a direct direction).

And there is no arc with MO and latitude. Moreover, we see that the three converse directions of the first table become direct directions on the second.

2)- SU conj #Sa and #Ma conj SU

We see here a rather rare coincidence of two counterparts acting simultaneously: it is a converse direction of SU conj. #Sa and a direction of #Ma conj SU.

- parameters for SU conj #Sa

- results

Ten varieties of primary directional arcs versus five (there are duplicates in non-primary directions ...).

Conclusion

Statistical analysis can be carried out using tests for two or more samples. It takes just thirty cases. The most suitable test, but it loses a lot of information, seems to be the test of Mc Nemar. To see for later, on a sample of more important directions ...
