Purple Haze

There is nothing hazy about the effect legendary guitarist Jimi Hendrix had on rock music. He would have been 66 today.

What does I Ching Astrology reveal about the character and genius of the man, who single-handedly transformed what was possible with an electric guitar.

His Birth Star is the very influential 4 Wind Star. In the same way that William Shakespeare, another Wind Star, transformed English literature, Hendrix redefined the lexicon of rock.

His 8 Mountain Inner Star made him deep, contemplative, serious and revolutionary. His prowess was such that he could communicate profoundly with his music.

His 1 Water Outer Star gave him the appearance of being laid back, flexible and easy going. In fact the Water influence merely added depth to his brilliance.

4 Wind Stars will always be on the frontiers of change.
