Michael Jackson Lives: Investigating His Birth Time 1980-1984
Part five of an eleven-part series by Nick Dagan Best
1980
March 3, 1980
On February 27, 1980, Michael Jackson attended the 22nd Annual Grammy Awards, where he was awarded with a Best R & B Vocal Performance award. Michael was greatly disappointed that Off The Wall did not win Record of the Year or Album of the Year (losing to the Doobie Brothers and Billy Joel, respectively) and vowed the next album would not be overlooked in the same way.
Four days later, little brother Randy Jackson, now eighteen, was badly injured when his Mercedes-Benz crashed at an intersection near the Hollywood Bowl. He was rescued from the wreckage using the Jaws of Life, and it was initially feared one of his legs would need to be amputated. Randy eventually made a recovery that far exceeded his doctor’s expectations, who thought he would never walk without a cane.
Michael was home with his parents and sisters LaToya and Janet when the phone call came in the middle of the night, informing them that Randy had been in a collision. Although the story would have a happy ending in time, in the moment it marked a tremendous crisis for the entire family.

Using the Pisces rising chart, the transiting Sun is conjunct Michael’s natal Moon in Pisces in the 1st house.
June-August 1980
Michael’s secondary progressed Jupiter made a conjunction to his natal Neptune in Scorpio sometime in mid-1980. With Gemini rising, this progressed-to-natal conjunction occurred in June 1980. With Pisces rising, it occurred in August 1980.
July 3, 1980
As Randy was recovering from his injuries, the Jacksons next LP, Triumph – recorded before the accident – was released. Despite the group’s immediate absence from the concert stage, Triumph became the group’s first album to reach number one on the R & B charts since 1971’s Maybe Tomorrow.
Despite sporting popular hits like Lovely One and Can You Feel It, the album’s “triumph” was no doubt boosted in part by the enormous success of Michael’s Off The Wall the previous summer. It would not be the last time that the brothers rushed out product to build on the momentum of a successful Michael Jackson album.
Transiting Jupiter was again conjunct Michael’s natal Sun in Virgo. With Gemini rising, this transit is in the 4th house. With Pisces rising, it is in the 7th house.
Transiting Uranus retrograde in Scorpio was opposite Michael’s natal Mars in Taurus, and square the transiting Nodes in Leo-Aquarius. This transit is also square the natal Midhaven in Aquarius and connects the 6th, 12th, 3rd and 9th houses using the Gemini Ascendant, and connects the 9th, 3rd, 6th and 12th houses using the Pisces Ascendant.

October 16, 1980
The group felt obliged to hold off touring until Randy had recovered from his injuries, and life during the downtime proved to be a mixed blessing for the family.
Michael spent the autumn of 1980 working on a concept video for the Jacksons’ song Can You Feel It?, a track from the latest album. Already marking new territory with the new medium, the video’s production values inspired a standard for the new decade.
However, trouble in the family came with a wallop. Literally. Already distressed at her husband’s numerous extra-marital affairs over the years, Katherine Jackson became enraged on learning that Joseph had an ongoing relationship with an employee, a woman named Gina Sprague.
At 3 p.m. on October 16, 1980, Katherine, Janet (fourteen) and Randy (nearly nineteen, and apparently recovered enough to participate) stormed the offices of Joe Jackson Productions in Los Angeles, where Sprague was working behind the reception desk.
According to the police report filed that day, Katherine reportedly assaulted Gina repeatedly while Janet and Randy helped by holding her or keeping onlookers at bay. Sprague later sued the three assailants as well as Joseph himself, in a case that was quietly settled and only sparsely reported.
The transiting North Node was conjunct Michael’s natal Venus in Leo, square transiting Mercury pre-retrograde in Scorpio and opposite the transiting South Node in Aquarius. With Gemini rising, this transit connects the 3rd, 6th and 9th houses. With Pisces rising, it connects the 6th, 9th and 12th houses.

Michael, now a man at twenty-one, teamed up with his old partner Diana Ross again in 1981, appearing as a guest on her CBS-TV special, called Diana (not to be confused with Diana!, another CBS Ross special where Michael made his TV debut in 1971), which was broadcast at 10 p.m. on March 2, 1981
This time, the pair’s chemistry had evolved, they were now both adults, and their flirtatious between-song banter seemed less ironic and comedic than it had when he was still a boy.

September 26, 1981
After a year’s delay, the Jacksons’ Triumph tour finally kicked off in Memphis TN on July 9, 1981. During the early part of the tour, former Beatle Paul McCartney toured with the group incognito, sport a disguise, to continue working with Michael on some songwriting ideas. Just prior to the tour, the pair recorded a song called Say, Say, Say, which would be released on McCartney’s Pipes of Peace album in October 1983.
The tour ended ten weeks later on September 26, 1981, with the last of a record-breaking four sold-out shows at the Forum in Los Angeles. A live album, called The Jacksons Live, was recorded and released the following year.
Again, Michael expressed his desire to stop touring when it was all over. Although he would be coaxed back on the road three years later, the Triumph tour marked the end of the Jacksons as a cohesive group of relative equals, as Michael’s own star power was about to rise higher than anybody in history.
Transiting Mars was conjunct Michael’s natal Uranus and Venus in Leo, square transiting Venus in Scorpio. With Gemini rising, this transit connects the 3rd and 6th houses. With Pisces rising, it connects the 6th and 9th houses.

1982
April 14, 1982
Work on the album that would become known as Thriller began when Paul McCartney joined Michael and Quincy Jones at Westlake Studios in Hollywood at noon on April 14, 1982, where they spent the next three days recording tracks for The Girl Is Mine, the first song recorded for Michael’s new album.
Released as the first single off the album on October 18, 1982, its lukewarm reception from fans prompted many industry insiders to presume Thriller would be a sales failure. They couldn’t be more wrong.
Transiting Venus in Pisces was opposite Michael’s natal Sun in Virgo. With Gemini rising, this transit spans the 10th and 4th houses. With Pisces rising, it is also conjunct the Ascendant and spans the 1st and 7th houses.
Transiting Pluto retrograde was conjunct Michael’s natal North Node in Libra, opposite the transiting Sun and his natal South Node in Aries. Using the Gemini Ascendant, this transit spans the 5th and 11th houses. Using the Pisces Ascendant, it spans the 8th and 2nd houses.
November 30, 1982
Michael’s new album, Thriller, was released at the end of November 1982, and would become not only his biggest hit, but the biggest selling album ever, with reportedly about 110 million copies sold since its release.
The album’s sound marked both an ending and beginning to his musical sound, building on the dance and pop foundations of Off The Wall, but focused lyrically on darker subject material and musically on a funky-rock signature.
Co-produced again with Quincy Jones, Thriller was not merely a commercial force – it had socio-political clout. Propelled by the smart production of the Billie Jean and Beat It videos, the album catalyzed a major shift in America’s racial/cultural divide, reconnecting black and white music audiences by essentially forcing MTV to play its first black artist.
Transiting Mercury and Venus were conjunct in Sagittarius. With Gemini rising, this transit was opposite the Ascendant in the 7th house. With Pisces rising, it was square Michael’s natal Moon in Pisces, connecting the 10th and 1st houses.

Using the Gemini Ascendant, this transit connects the 6th and 7th houses with the 3rd and 4th houses. Using the Pisces Ascendant, it connects the 9th and 10th houses with the 6th and 7th houses.
Transiting Pluto in Libra and Saturn in Scorpio were conjunct Michael’s natal Jupiter in Libra and Neptune in Scorpio. With Gemini rising, this transit connects the 5th and 6th houses. With Pisces rising, it connects the 8th and 9th houses.
1983
March 25, 1983
Billie Jean and Beat It were already on heavy MTV rotation when Michael agreed to appear alongside his brothers for Motown’s 25th anniversary television special, but only on condition that he also be allowed to perform Billie Jean in a solo spot.
Produced by Suzanne DePasse – who had been present at the Jackson Five’s audition nearly fifteen years earlier – Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever was taped at Pasadena Civic Auditorium on March 25, 1983 and broadcast nearly two months later on May 16th.
After Michael and his brothers – including Jermaine – performed a medley of their Motown hits, they left the stage while he grabbed a fedora hat while the opening notes to Billie Jean brought the crowd to its feet. In what would become his defining moment in show business, he performed his “moonwalk” dance for the first time during the song’s guitar break before the final chorus.
Transiting Pluto retrograde in Libra and Saturn retrograde in Scorpio were conjunct Michael’s natal Jupiter in Libra and Neptune in Scorpio. With Gemini rising, this transit connects the 5th and 6th houses. With Pisces rising, it connects the 8th and 9th houses.

Using the Pisces rising chart, transiting Uranus retrograde and Jupiter pre-retrograde in Sagittarius are square the Pisces Ascendant, connecting the 10th and 1st houses.
June 22, 1983
Michael was now truly a star of his own making, arguably the most famous person in the world from this point onward. Thriller was selling about a million copies a week, energizing a record industry that had lost its way in recent years. Whatever help his father, brothers, Motown or Quincy Jones had contributed, Thriller’s success showed he was in the driver’s seat and knew exactly what he was doing.
It was now time to put some business in order. First, he fired his father as his personal manager, the man who had groomed him for success and delivered him to Motown’s door, ready for stardom. His brothers soon followed suit, and Joseph found himself on the outside of the family business he had worked to create.
Then, Michael fired his business managers Ron Weisner and Freddy DeMann, whom Joseph had hired in late 1978. Their contract had lapsed in March 1983, but Michael hesitated to re-sign, telling them, “let’s just wait and see.”
Weisner spoke to Michael in person on the morning of June 22, 1983, not realizing he was already doomed, since Michael didn’t say a thing about it. However, within a few hours, Weisner and DeMann were informed by John Branca that they were being let go. Branca, an entertainment lawyer Michael hired in late 1979, was now Michael’s principle business representative, confidante and advisor.
Transiting Pluto retrograde and Saturn retrograde (pre-station) were conjunct Michael’s natal Jupiter in Libra. With Gemini rising, this transit is in the 5th house. With Pisces rising, it is in the 8th house.
Transiting Venus was conjunct Michael’s natal Venus in Leo, making what is called a “return”. Using the Gemini Ascendant, this transit is in the 3rd house. Using the Pisces Ascendant, it is in the 6th house.
Transiting Jupiter retrograde and Uranus retrograde in Sagittarius were square Michael’s natal Pluto and Sun in Virgo. With Gemini rising, this transit connects the 7th and 4th houses. With Pisces rising, it connects the 10th and 7th houses.
Transiting Mercury was in Gemini. Using the Gemini rising chart, this transit is in the 1st house. Using the Pisces rising chart, it is in the 4th houses, square the natal Ascendant and Moon.
December 2, 1983
Jermaine was released from his Motown contract in August 1983, in time to join his brothers in discussion regarding doing a new album and tour. Michael had been largely coaxed into the project by mother Katherine, who could still appeal to Michael’s sense of family loyalty.
On November 30, 1983, exactly a year after Thriller’s release, the Jacksons held a press conference at Central Park’s Tavern on the Green in New York City, where they announced they would be releasing an album the next year, followed by an American tour.
Promoted by boxing personality Don King, and sponsored by Pepsi, it was also revealed that the brothers would be taping television commercials for the soft drink in the new year.
Having set a new standard for music videos with Billie Jean and Beat It, Michael knew his third video had to take things to a new level. He collaborated with director John Landis on a short movie, a fourteen-minute horror flick/dance number, to promote the song Thriller. Filmed during Halloween week of 1983, it premiered on December 2, 1983 and marked another milestone in the music video genre.
The transiting South Node and Jupiter were conjunct Michael’s natal Saturn in Sagittarius. With Gemini rising, this transit is also opposite the ascendant in the 7th house. With Pisces rising, it is also conjunct the Midheaven in Sagittarius in the 10th house.
Transiting Venus in Libra and Pluto in Scorpio were conjunct Michael’s natal North Node in Libra and Neptune in Scorpio. Using the Gemini Ascendant, this transit connects the 5th and 6th houses. Using the Pisces Ascendant, it connects the 8th and 9th houses.
As discussed in my previous Michael Jackson article, Michael was also having a recurrence transit of his natal Jupiter-Neptune conjunction in Libra-Scorpio, since transiting Jupiter was now making its way toward a conjunction with transiting Neptune in Sagittarius. With Gemini rising, this transit is in the 7th house. With Pisces rising, it is in the 10th house.
1984
January 27, 1984
Real terror struck during the filming of a second Jacksons Pepsi commercial at Los Angeles’ Shrine Auditorium on January 27, 1984, when a spark from some lighting effects lit Michael’s hair on fire.
Close friend Miko Brando, son of the actor Marlon Brando (also a close friend), was at hand to quickly extinguish the flames, possibly saving the singer’s life.
Somewhat badly burned, television news was on alert as Jackson was hospitalized overnight, footage of him being rushed from the ambulance on a stretcher – head bandaged, faced covered, hand glitter-gloved – played at regular intervals, an image that became as much a part of his legend as any of his staged performances.
Transiting Saturn in Scorpio was square Michael’s natal Uranus and Venus in Leo. With Gemini rising, this transit connects the 6th and 3rd houses. With Pisces rising, it connects the 9th and 6th houses.
Transiting Pluto pre-retrograde was conjunct Michael’s natal Neptune in Scorpio. Using the Gemini Ascendant, this transit is in the 6th house. Using the Pisces Ascendant, it is in the 9th house.
Using the Pisces rising chart, the transiting Moon, Uranus and South Node in Sagittarius are square Michael’s natal Moon in Pisces, connecting the 10th and 1st houses.
As discussed in my previous Michael Jackson article, transiting Neptune and Jupiter conjunct in Capricorn were making a recurrence of Michael’s natal Jupiter-Neptune conjunction in Libra-Scorpio. With Gemini rising, this transit is in the 8th house. With Pisces rising, it is in the 11th house.
February 28, 1984
Just one month after the accident, Michael had recovered well enough to enjoy his big win at that year’s Grammy Awards on February 28, 1984, taking away a total of eight trophies for the Thriller, including the coveted Record of the Year that had eluded Off The Wall.
Michael attended the ceremony with two dates: Brooke Shields, a close friend who had also been his date at the American Music Awards a month earlier, and child actor Emmanuel Lewis, star of the sitcom Webster, who was a few weeks shy of thirteen, but looked much younger. It was the first instance that Michael was seen accompanied by a young boy in public.
Just a few weeks earlier, on February 7, Michael had also been inducted into the Guinness book of Records, in recognition of Thriller having broken all album sales records at twenty-five million copies sold.
Transiting Mars in Scorpio was opposite Michael’s natal Mars in Taurus. With Gemini rising, this transit is also square the Midheaven in Aquarius, spanning the 6th, 12th and 9th houses. With Pisces rising, it spans the 9th and 3rd houses.
Transiting Saturn station retrograde in Scorpio was square Michael’s natal Venus in Leo. Using the Gemini Ascendant, this transit connects the 6th and 3rd houses. Using the Pisces Ascendant, it connects the 9th and 6th houses.
The transiting Moon and Venus conjunct in Aquarius were opposite Michael’s natal Uranus in Leo. With Gemini rising, this transit spans the 9th and 3rd houses. With Pisces rising, it spans the 12th and 6th houses.

Using the Pisces Ascendant, the transiting South Node and Uranus in Sagittarius are square the transiting Sun and the natal Ascendant and Moon in Pisces, connecting the 10th and 1st houses.
As discussed in my previous Michael Jackson article, transiting Neptune and Jupiter conjunct in Capricorn were making a recurrence of Michael’s natal Jupiter-Neptune conjunction in Libra-Scorpio. With Gemini rising, this transit is in the 8th house. With Pisces rising, it is in the 11th house.
February-April 1984
Michael’s secondary progressed Jupiter and secondary progressed Neptune reached a conjunction in Scorpio sometime in early 1984. With Gemini rising, the progressed conjunction occurred in February 1984. With Pisces rising, it occurred in April 1984.
May 14, 1984
Michael Jackson was invited to the Reagan White House on May 14, 1984, to receive an award for his humanitarian efforts. In truth, the award and its presentation by the President was a stunt concocted to entice Michael into letting Transportation Secretary Elizabeth Dole use Beat It as background music for an anti-drunk driving campaign.
Even among the jaded White House staff, who were used to seeing famous dignitaries and celebrities visit on a regular basis, Michael’s celebrity mystique proved to be irresistible. Caught off guard by the mass of star-struck adults he faced upon arrival, Michael wound up locking himself in a bathroom until he was coaxed out by a staffer, who arranged for him to meet people in small groups.
Transits that day included a few pairings that, when combined with Michael’s natal chart, formed what is called a t-square aspect.
Transiting Venus and the Sun were conjunct Michael’s natal Mars in Taurus, opposite transiting Saturn retrograde, the Moon and Mars retrograde in Scorpio, all square Michael’s natal Uranus and Venus in Leo. With Gemini rising, these transits are also square the Midheaven in Aquarius, spanning the 12th, 6th, 3rd and 9th houses. With Pisces rising, they span the 3rd, 9th and 6th houses.
Transiting Mercury post-retrograde in Aries was opposite Michael’s natal Jupiter in Libra. Using the Gemini Ascendant, this transit spans the 11th and 5th houses. Using the Pisces Ascendant, it spans the 2nd and 8th houses.
The transiting Lunar Nodes in Gemini-Sagittarius were square Michael’s natal Sun in Virgo. With Gemini rising, this transit spans the 1st, 7th and 4th houses. With Pisces rising, it spans the 4th, 7th and 10th houses.
Using the Pisces rising chart, transiting Uranus retrograde in Sagittarius was square Michael’s natal Ascendant and Moon in the 1st house.
July 6, 1984
The Jacksons’ new album, Victory, was released on July 6, 1984. An uneven affair, it was produced in a tense and divided atmosphere. There was little group harmony in this reunion, which Michael was doing reluctantly in order to make Katherine Jackson happy.
That same night, the Jacksons’ Victory U.S. tour (featuring no songs from the new album in the set list) was launched at Kansas City’s Arrowhead Stadium. With 55 concerts performed over a period of six months, the Victory tour, for which Michael donated all his earnings to charity, became the biggest grossing concert tour in history at that point, reportedly grossing over $75 million.
Transiting Mercury in Cancer was square transiting Pluto station direct and natal Jupiter in Libra. With Gemini rising, this transit connects the 2nd and 5th houses. With Pisces rising, it connects the 5th and 8th houses.

December 9, 1984
The Victory tour wrapped up with six sold-out shows at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. A grueling task, Michael was traveling separately from his brothers and had minimal contact with any of them offstage.
Still, they were apparently caught off guard when Michael announced at the final show, on December 9, 1984, that it was his last performance with the Jacksons. This time, he really meant it.
Transiting Uranus and the Sun in Sagittarius were conjunct Michael’s natal Saturn in Sagittarius, square his natal Moon in Pisces. With Gemini rising, this transit is also opposite the Ascendant, connecting the 7th, 10th and 1st houses. With Pisces rising, it is also conjunct the Midheaven in Sagittarius and connects the 10th and 1st houses.
Transiting Saturn in Scorpio was opposite Michael’s natal Mars in Taurus. With Gemini rising, this transit spans the 6th and 12th houses. With Pisces rising, it spans the 9th and 3rd houses.

Thank you Nick for the fabulous information about MJ’s life and career. I know it is a lot of work for you, but I appreciate it. I am 52, and remember exactly what I was doing when I heard, “I Want You Back.” I drove my mother and grandmother crazy screaming whenever the Jackson 5 performed on TV, and collecting Jackson 5 pictures from Tiger Beat and Fave magazines for my scrap book, which I still have. I have fond memories of that era, and it was great!
I believe that MJ’s passing is symbolic of an era ending — a collective healing. His passing has certainly brought up my Chiron in Aquarius issues (8th house) to be addressed and healed.
Thank you, again.
Charioteer,
Thanks for the kind words, I am very pleased that readers like you are enjoying the series!
