Paul Hindemith

(16 November 1895 – 28 December 1963) was a prolific German composer, violist, violinist, teacher and conductor. In the 1920s, he became a major advocate of the Neue Sachlichkeit (new objectivity) style of music. Notable compositions include his song cycle Das Marienleben (1923), Der Schwanendreher for viola and orchestra (1935), and the opera Mathis der Maler (1938).

In 1959, he suffered a mental breakdown – probably the first signs of progressive arteriosclerosis with high blood pressure.

On 4 November 1963 he set off for Vienna for concerts with the Vienna Philharmonic, attended performances there at the State Opera and directed the world premiere of his Mass for mixed choir a capella at the Piaristenkirche in Vienna on 12 November. On 16 November, on his 68th birthday in Blonay, he came down with a high fever; the cause of illness could not be ascertained. Hindemith was brought to Frankfurt for further consultations. «We kept our stay in Frankfurt a secret so as not to attract the attention of journalists. Moreover, Paul had only gone to hospital for an examination and he was actually very glad to lie in bed for a week or two and wanted to write music – so it was not at all dramatic at first» (Gertrud Hindemith in a letter to a friend). On 9 December began a series of strokes from which Hindemith died in the late evening of 28 December. It was established after his death that he had had a haemorrhage in the pancreas. Gertrud Hindemith: «His hour had come. Even if we had gotten him out of hospital, this thing would have broken out in three weeks at the latest and he would have had to suffer greatly.» [http://www.hindemith.info/en/life-work/biography/1953-1963/life/hindemiths-death/]

As we can see, MO and SU in tight conjunction (MO combust - exact conjunction at 5 p.m. on the same day); tight conjunction MA-SA. JU in I, dominant planet and ALCHOCODEN. ASC is HYLEG.

SPECULUM

MO afflicted : fall and combust - SU peregrine -

Best planet : MA - worst : ME -

RAYS

Note the triple square from JU / ME - MA - SA (because of the stellium). Ptolemy informs us that it is a possible relationship with sudden illness [see John Worsdale, Celestial philosophy, p. 174] notably in SCO.  

 

« We have to consider, how many ways the Moon comes to be so ill-affected, notably the Moon is combust, that is to say under the Sun's beams, which is counted from 15 degrees of the body of the Sun as she applies to him to 12 degrees distance from him as she is separating from him; and the impediment is greater when she is going to the Sun than when she is going from him ; because as she goes off, when she is got five degrees distant, she is said to be escaped, though not wholly freed. As when a fever hath left a man, he is said to be recovered, although he be weak and faint, because he is secure now that he shall obtain his health again. The 2nd is when she is in the degrees of her descensions, that appears in the 3rd degree of Scorpio, or in any part of Scorpio or Capricorn or injoined with any Planet that is in her or its own descensions, as if she be joined with the Sun, who is in Scorpio or Capricorn or in his proper descension, viz., in Aquary or Libra, viz., in its 10th degree or in any part of Libra; or should be joined with Mars, and he be in Libra or Taurus, or in the 28th degree, or in any part of Cancer; and so with any other Planet or Planets respectively... » [Guido Bonatus, Anima Astrologie Or A Guide For Astrologers Being The Considerations Of The Famous Guido Bonatus 1675 William Lilly, p.6-7]

PARALLELS

ALCHOCODEN

As I said, MO is combust and falling, and cannot be hyleg. Only ASC can be hyleg. JU is the alchocoden. But consider that MO is not waning, as it will be for be convenient with the alchocoden theory.

Once again the question arises as to why, from one chart to another, it is rather the zodiacal or mundane contra-parallel which makes it possible to obtain the right primary direction ...

If now we take into account the Considerations of Bonatus, it is interesting to determine the arc of direction between the group MO-SU and the converse square of VE:
