The rock star's slender frame and jagged cheekbones physically speak Capricorn, but his true projected identity and rising sign was Aquarius. The field of the iconoclast, revolutionary and innovator as well as Bowie's bi-sexual proclivities were more firmly the expression of his Uranian ruled ascendant.
Aquarius is also the space alien, the outsider, the genius and in all these ways Bowie perfectly embodied these otherworldy qualities. While ostensibly just fabricated characters, his continual associations with outerspace, star systems and galactic travel probably show us unconscious glimpses his real ancestral lineage.
Yet, his haunting melodies and lyrics were the result of his Capricorn Sun/Mars in the 12th house, giving him an honorary Pisces status. Pisces is associated with dream states, hallucinatory experiences, tapping into the zeitgeist and in this way he excelled. Bowie perfectly combined the archetype of Pisces, channeling and musicianship with hard work, Capricorn.
Bowie's attraction to travel and mixed-media, as well as exotic women could be attributed to his Venus (love interest, attractions) in Sagittarius. Additionally, as a Sag South Node (past life imprint), he has been an international and possibly inter-dimensional traveler, philosopher, spiritual teacher before.
And South Node in Sagittarius might have also included past lives a cult leader. Aided by his theatrical Moon in Leo, Bowie achieved icon status through modern means with his merging and artful manipulation of the media, fashion and film worlds.
Awareness of esoteric, sexual and creative energy is evidenced by his Jupiter in Scorpio, ruler of the south node of past lives. He utilized this energy well throughout his career with his unparalleled ability to regenerate and create new identities.
Yet, the Jupiter in Scorpio could have been implicated in the cause of his death, reported as liver cancer. Jupiter has a large appetite-- in Scorpio for sex and intense experiences and with Jupiter ruling the liver, it is possible that initially his health was affected by bouts of hepatitis. Unfortunately, with Capricorn there is a strong guilt dynamic and even with his awareness, could have felt he deserved this illness on some level for past indiscretions.
Capricorn rules the Devil card which can either be interpreted as "bondage, what owns you" or positively as LIVED, a full life, understanding and indulging with a wink in the "sins of the flesh". Capricorn Sun in the 12th house is, like Pisces, very psychic and permeable. Additionally, any Pisces or 12th house placement may involve recreational drug use or altered states of consciousness to release oneself from external or self-imposed restrictions (Capricorn), so suffering or enervating health could be the fallout over time.
In keeping with his Aquarius Ascendant, his ruling planet Uranus would indicate sudden, out of the blue, unexpected events and certainly his death was a shock to everyone. (In his midpoint pictures, there was energy around trauma to his body Uranus/Ascendant starting fall 2015 - spring 2016. Additionally, it seems as if he may have faced some unpublicized depression, low vitality or a compromised immune system in spring of 2012.)
Nowadays, with modern medicine, astrologers can't (and shouldn't) predict death. However, a cursory look over Bowie's transits would have brought an element of concern as the heavy-hitting planets Uranus of (chaos, accident, separation) and Pluto (destruction, razing of the shadow) would have indicated a dramatic event/situation/painful loss in his life.
Another signal of a possible demise (in retrospect) would have been Saturn conjoining his South Node, destiny/karma. Saturn to the Nodes does not have to mean literal death and generally does not, but rather the ending and culmination of a cycle and certainly Bowie's valedictory album served as another chapter in the proud pinnacle of his career. His cup runneth over in terms of prolificness and mind-soul expansion--a permanent gift to his fellow Earthlings. Releasing his album on his birthday was the final performance piece of his life.
Pluto to his Sun and Mars over the next few years would have pointed to more devastating destruction of his body or legacy so he intuited his exit correctly. And as all death is a suicide (meaning we choose when we are to transition from this world back to Source), Bowie had completed his great work and gracefully re-entered the higher dimensions from which he came.
