DEBUSSY

Claude Debussy

Debussy died of rectal cancer at his Paris home on 25 March 1918,at the age of 55. He had been diagnosed with the cancer in 1909 after experiencing bleeding, and in December 1915 underwent one of the earliest colostomy operations ever performed. The operation achieved only a temporary respite, and occasioned him considerable frustration (he was to liken dressing in the morning to "all the labours of Hercules in one"). [wikipedia]

I)- natal chart

• ASC LEO, ruler SU (LEO and I)
• MC TAURUS, ruler VE (XII)
• we must observe that SU is at a mundane mid-point between SA and MO
• quadrature MA - MO

Morinus gives ME for ALMUTEN. We observe that both SU, MA and MO are in their zodiacal mansion. JU is detrimental.

- HYLEG SU
- ANAERETA MA, SA
- ALCOCODEN : the interesting point is that there does not seem to be any alcocoden in this natal chart; one can search for the answer in the mundane mid-point SA-MO and consider MO as alcocoden. It is only a hypothesis...

II)- primary direction

A)- beginning of the disease : 1909

1)- SA # SU

This arc must be written #SU conj SA (converse arc).

The most precise direction is : Z C Regio-Campa EQU (-0.11).

3)- MO conj SU

We observe that the 'alcocoden' is progressed in conjunction to hyleg at the same time :

L(z) MO = 147.57 LEO.

4)- SU opp MA

At the beginning of the disease, 3 congruent primary directions coincided, around 1909.

The most precise direction : Z D Placidus AR (0.06).

B)- exitus 1918

- #SA conj SU

Observe that this arc is the mirror of that of 1909 (#SU conj SA).
