Elvis & Priscilla Presley

[Jim Eshelman]

Elvis Presley. January 8, 1935, 4:35 AM CST, Tupelo, MS.
Priscilla Presley neé Wagner. May 24, 1945, 10:40 PM EWT, Brooklyn, NY.

A classic example of an important couple with each chart worthy of study on its own and much information publicly available about the relationship. I found it particularly interesting to look at Priscilla's planets around Elvis' chart, just two or three contacts that seem to secure the connection.

Don't miss the semi-squares in the 'transits' pass. You don't need them to catch the essential nature of the relationship, but they do add to the picture in important ways.

Checking the technique of progressing each chart to the others birth. First, Elvis' chart progressed to Priscilla's moment and place of birth:

3°40' Ari - r Uranus
3°58' Cap - p Sun

22°55' Vir - p Mars
23°24' Sag - r Sun

His progressed Moon is 1°24' past opposition to his Sun, but I think that's too far. Moon does trine his Jupiter 0°24', and trines are generally considered valid in secondary progressions.

Regressing Priscilla's chart to Elvis' birth:

9°33' Tau - r Sun
10°47' Tau - SNQ MC

I wish that were closer. One very strong aspect of conflict stands out:

15°05' Gem - r Saturn
15°08' Pis - p Mars

These are OK so far as they go - even a little impressive - though I don't know that we need them at all to understand the relationship already reflected in the synastry.
