Yesterday, transitting Saturn was exactly conjunct Michael Jackson’s natal Ceres. People.com is reporting that people have been shocked in recent weeks by Michael’s extreme thinness. When Saturn transits a sign, weight loss is favored, and it can be very easy to lose too much, if one is already thin. Ceres is an asteroid that rules the harvest and diet. Virgo, too, rules diet and health issues related to diet

Saturn’s exact transit over this critical point could have exasperated effects of deficient nutrition or other eating disorders. If Michael was dieting while also working out to get in shape for his upcoming tour, the combined effects may have depleted his system.

Moreover, with the present Neptune, Jupiter, Chiron conjunction in Michael’s solar 6th house of health, any misuse of medication or neglection of health problems could have suddenly spiralled out of control. A combination of drugs and a system weakened by poor nutrition could be a possibility.
