He was treated for Covid-19 late December

[Jim Eshelman]

Yes, the last news I got was that he was treated for COVID-19, was on a ventilator, and then had been given supplemental oxygen and removed from the ICU. So...

Cedars-Sinai is closest to the coordinates for West Hollywood (especially for longitude: it's due south on San Vicente a few blocks). His only outer planet transit was Jupiter crossing his Eastpoint within a few minutes. (Jupiter is quite common for death: He hasn't gotten as much publicity in years as he'll get today.)

I have often noticed puns with people named "King." The universe seems to take this as though they actually are a king. (Martin Luther King died with a Sun-Saturn conjunction critical in the mundane charts. I was partnered for years with a woman named "King" and there were some very humorous examples of several things.) I mention this because he died when there was a partile Sun-Saturn conjunction in Capricorn in space. Additionally, his departure is in the last couple days of Pluto in Sagittarius, which has marked the 'overthrow' of iconic voices and, well, symbols of kings.

His SSR is intense - Mars square MC within a few minutes, Jupiter-Saturn-Pluto on Zenith, Venus setting (a mix of good and bad). But especially his natal Venus and Uranus and exactly (within minutes) on MC and Asc.

His SNQ is fine enough but not extraordinary: Q Asc square natal Neptune is consistent with frailty (and consistent with breathing crises). Similarly, his SQ had transiting Neptune on MC, so this is evidently the "planet of the day." Perhaps most importantly, transiting Sun-Saturn conjoins SQ Moon. (Saturn's transit to PSSR Moon is even closer, 09', though SQ Moon catches the Sun-Saturn pair better.)

Larry King's natal; is a great example of a natal chart to study btw.

Sun in Scorpio, Moon in Sagittarius: What a great pair for him! His core, his basic character, was the gruff, rough, blunt Scorpio - much the same character type as Joe Biden in that sense, yet also an icon, an institution of sorts. (Plus Sagittarius' connection to broadcasting.)

Venus on Asc 0°59' (squared by Jupiter 0°44'). Saturn square MC 0°25'. Pluto more widely foreground (square Uranus 0°25'). These are all straightforward: The enormous celebrity, amazing charm for someone so gruff and forthright, one of the hardest working men in the business, and always doing things his own distinctive way. (Add Moon-Uranus trine 0°18' and many other things.)
