\"matthew<\/a>Internationally successful electronic dance music artist and producer Avicii has died at the age of 28.<\/strong> He was born September 8th 1989, time unknown, Stockholm Sweden. These are the bare facts.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Feeling my way through the darkness<\/em>
\n Guided by a beating heart<\/em>
\n I can’t tell where the journey will end<\/em>
\n But I know where to start<\/em>
\n They tell me I’m too young to understand<\/em>
\n They say I’m caught up in a dream<\/em>
\n Well life will pass me by if I don’t open up my eyes<\/em>
\n Well that’s fine by me<\/em><\/p>\n

We don’t know the cause of death yet, but we do know that in past he had suffered from pancreatitis.<\/strong> The pancreas and astrology is ruled by the moon, and without a time of birth we can’t be absolutely sure, but his natal Moon was square his Mars, which would tend to give a tendency towards inflammation. There were also bouts of depression, as one might expect from someone with a Saturn-Neptune conjunction. Again, these are just the facts.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I tried carrying the weight of the world<\/em>
\n But I only have two hands<\/em>
\n Hope I get the chance to travel the world<\/em>
\n But I don’t have any plans<\/em>
\n Wish that I could stay forever this young<\/em>
\n Not afraid to close my eyes<\/em>
\n Life’s a game made for everyone<\/em>
\n And love is a prize<\/em><\/p>\n

Pancreatitis is often made much worse by alcoholism.<\/strong> With a Saturn-Neptune conjunction in his chart, it’s fairly clear to see that even though Avicii didn’t have to be an alcoholic, there would likely be some serious consequences from it if he was. He had previously been hospitalized twice because of his heavy drinking. He was having his Saturn Return at the time of his death, which means that transiting Saturn was also conjunct his natal Neptune. At his actual time of death, Avicii was having some surprisingly good transits. Transiting Venus , Mars, and Pluto were all trine his natal Mars. This should in theory have lifted his mood considerably.<\/p>\n

So: maybe he was just alone and sad and decided to cheer himself up with a few more drinks.<\/strong><\/p>\n

So wake me up when it’s all over<\/em>
\n When I’m wiser and I’m older<\/em>
\n All this time I was finding myself, and I<\/em>
\n Didn’t know I was lost…<\/em><\/p>\n

-Avicii, Wake Me Up<\/em><\/p>\n
