Jim Morrison ~ His Astrological Chart.

Click on the chart to make it larger.

Jim Morrison was a Sagittarius, and in the Chinese Zodiac he was a Goat. Philosophical and creative, fiery yet laid back. A bit of a mixture really. All the right ingredients to make an amazing and interesting person, which he was. But, Goats are not that keen on attention and limelight. Most Sagittarians ofcourse crave it, thus leaving us with a person who is in constant battle whether to run and hide away from the glare of fame and fortune or nose dive straight into it and lap it up. Jim seemed to do both. Often.

Goats are floaty creative souls who would prefer never to work but still have a good flow of money coming in, so as to keep the many books and other materialistic supplies rolling in. So Jim living on a roof top taking copius ammounts of drugs and writing poetry and lyrics surrounded by books is about right really!!

The people who live under the sign of the Goat crave security. They need a place to call home. They need a familiar face and somewhere to curl up and disolve into, forgetting the trials of the world they leave behind outside. Unfortunatly, the Sagittariun craves adventure so the poor Goat is pulled from his sanctuary and thrust into some "exciting" new experience! great! burn out time.

As for members of the opposite sex, let's just say there are plenty of those also and the want for more is well, greedy quite frankly!

Pamela Courson, the steady constant in Jim's life. Not that their relationship was constant ofcourse, but her presence was. Anyone else (in my opinion) was simply an outlet for his need to be loved and looked after and made to feel like a king, albeit a reptilian one. Not to mention way too sexy for his own good! (my own opinion again, but one I know is shared by millions).

Poetry

THE FEAR

Eternal consciousness
in the Void
(makes trial and jail seem almost
friendly)

a Kiss in the Storm

(Madman at the wheel
gun at the neck
scape populous & arching
coolly)

A barn
a cabin attic

Your own face
stationary
in the mirrored window

fear of restroom's
Tragic cold
neon

I'm freezing

animals
dead

white wings of
rabbits

grey velvet deer

The Canyon

The car a craft
in wretched
SPACE

Sudden movements

& your past
to warm you
in Spiritless
Night

The Lonely HWY
Cold hiker

Afraid of wolves
& his own
Shadow

POWER

I can make the earth stop in it's tracks.

I made theblue cars go away.

I can make myself invisible or small.

I can become gigantic & reach the farthest things.

I can change the course of nature.

I can place myself anywhere inspace or time.

I can summon the dead.

I can perceive events on other worlds,in my deepest inner mind & in the minds of others.

I Can

I Am.

THE ANATOMY OF ROCK

The 1st electric wildness cameover the people on sweet Friday.

Sweat was in the air.

The channel beamed,token of power.

Incense brewed darkly.

Who could tell them that hereit would end?

One school bus crashed w/ a train.

This was the Crossroads. Mercury stained. I couldn't get out of my seat.

The road was litteredw/ dead jitterbugs. Help,we'll be late for class.

The secret flurry of rumormarched over the yard &pinned us unwittinglyMt. fever.

A girl stripped naked on the base of the flagpole.

In the restrooms all was cool & silentw/ the salt-green of latrines.

Blankets were needed. Ropes fluttered.

Smiles flattered & haunted.

Lockers pried open & secrets discovered.

Ah sweet music.

Wild sounds in the night Angel siren voices.

The baying of great hounds.

Cars screaming thru gears & shrieks on the wild road Where the tires skip & slide into dangerous curves.

Favorite corners.

Cheerleaders raped in summer buildings.

Holding hands & bopping toward Sunday.

Those lean sweet desperate hours.

Time searched the hallways for a mind.

Hands kept time. The climate altered like a visible dance.

Night-time women.

Wondrous sacraments of doubt Sprang sullen in bursts of fear & guilt in the womb's pit hole below The belt of the beast

This is my own personal favourite!

I am troubled
Immeasurably
By your eyes

I am struck
By the feather
of your soft
Reply

The sound of glass
Speaks quick
Disdain

And conceals
What your eyes fight
To explain

"Let's just say I was testing the bounds of reality I was curious to see what would happen. That's all it was: just curiosity."

Jim Morrison

I have been a huge fan of The Doors and Jim Morrison since I was 14. There is something about the lead singer that sets him apart from everyone else who has proceeded him.

Born in Clearwater California on the 8th December 1943, James Douglas Morrison it seemed was destined for a life of the extraordinary. And that is what he got. From poetry to film making, sleeping on roof tops to being too shy to sing facing an audience, Jim's life tripped fantastically between the light and the dark.Love and Death.

And next to him was his love, Pamela Courson, who people refer to as Jim's "long suffering girlfriend". She was enchanted by Jim as were many. Then locked inside his world unable to find escape or the reason to wish for it.

It was as if his poetry came to life. He lived his words. Not always a good thing. His love of alcohol and drugs led him on a many beautiful trail of fantasy, but sadly leading in the end, only to his own destruction.
