By the age of 18 Jimmy Page was already a serious musician with impressive credentials. Some comments from Proximity follow, written by Hugh Jones, and Page’s recollection of that brief time window when everything was dramatically transformed via literally hundreds of recording sessions.

“His first experience in a real group was with Neil Christian and The Crusaders who travelled all over England playing cover versions of songs by then unknown American rockers like Chuck Berry, Gene Vincent and Bo Diddley. From Neil Christian Page moved on to an informal association with Cyril Davies, known as the Father of British Blues.

He was noticed jamming with Davies at London’s Marquee club by a record producer named Mike Leander who reportedly asked, “Would you like to play on a record?”, to which Page nonchalantly replied, “Yeah”, thus launching an illustrious career as a session guitarist which eventually led to his association with the Yardbirds and ultimately the formation of Led Zeppelin.”

Jimmy Page recounts his transition at about age 17, “I left Neil Christian when I was about 17 and went to art college. During that period, I was jamming at night in a blues club. By that time the blues had started to happen, so I used to go out and jam with Cyril Davies interval band. Then somebody asked me if I’d like to play on a record, and before I knew where I was I was doing all these studio dates at night –still going to art college in the daytime. There was a crossroads there and you know which one I took.”

Sun in Capricorn, the tenth zodiacal sign – Saturn, Lord of Time and Space - day of the week: Saturday
Symbol: The sea-goat, mountain goat, dolphin, or scapegoat. The duel nature of Capricorn is illustrated by the Sea-Goat. This mythical creature could relate to both worlds - land and sea. The goat with the fish’s tail signifies extremes of height and depth.

Capricorn Countries include: Afghanistan, Albania, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Cameroon, Greece, India, Lithuania, Mexico, and Saxony
Cities: Bradenburg, Brussels, Constance, Marseille, Oxford, and Port Said

Well known musicians born in the sign Capricorn include
Women: Aaliyah, Sade Adu, Joan Baez, Mary J. Blige, Marlene Dietrich, Annie Lennox, Barbara Mandrell, Dolly Parton, Patti Smith, and Donna Summer

Reflex action: Moonchild, or Cancer, the Shellfish, ruled by the Moon. Sol balancing Luna in these signs indicates deeper concerns with regards to the highest part of consciousness and the most hidden part of consciousness - the public image and psyche seat of power. This polarity indicates exoteric signatures, economy, thrift, and prudence; a desire for high attainments are likely. Skills include grace under pressure, esoteric savvy, and lines of the architect.

Capricorn governs the following places: churchyards, monasteries, convents, places for storing lumber, arsenals, barren or stony fields, mountain roads, the summit, cattle pens, vaults, mines, oil, and water under the surface of the earth.
Emotional characteristics: the emotions are inhibited, feelings are often turned upon the native because the sign rules the force known as contraction in reflex to expansion [Jupiter, the other business planet]. This may result in questions about belief in personal ability, the mind can rule the heart too completely.
Mental characteristics: powerful, concentrative, laborious, forceful, cautious, economical, conservative, thrifty, scrupulous, trustworthy, detailed thinkers, stubborn, good friends and bad enemies, brooding.
Spiritual keywords: the individuality, the seat of the sense of separateness, the competitive spirit, that which does not sense reality in its upwardly mobile ascent to heaven.
Physical anatomy: knees, kneecaps, hair, outer epidermis, various joints of the body, skeletal frame, teeth, left ear. Capricorn is said to rule the sense of hearing.
Zodiacal Physiology: nucleolation, accumulation of energy, limitation, crystallization, preservation of strength.

Capricorn is a preventative force as much as Moonchild is one of protection. An example of the practical application of this marriage of opposites would be seen when Page decided to foray into the world of producing. John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers, [featuring Eric Clapton in the USA on London] is one of his best results. It’s considered a classic that plays as well today as it did when it was released. Page, Clapton and Beck had a close knit ‘birds of a feather flock together’ familiarity because they came from the same nest of origin. All played lead guitar with The Yardbirds. Pete Townsend would rely on commute but he contributed to that creative pool taking shape as the crème de la crème sessions collective. They found the music business could best guarantee quality yield when operated in the spirit of an extended family experience.

Moon in her own sign, Moonchild - Cancer, anciently, the fourth zodiacal sign – Moon rules the power of the psyche, the physical [anatomy] mind, home-domestic matters, the nursery and its protective entity, dream themes such as your astral vehicle and astrosome, hypno-therapy, empathy, environment, transmigration and the grave.
Day of the week: Monday
Symbol: The shellfish, crab, tortoise, snail and all who carry their house with them; the RV was designed for those who love the Moon and this sign. These shells serve as insulation or protection from outside influences just the aura field protects the more dense physical vessel and armor was worn by Knights in the Age of Chivalry. The sign refers to the safe haven, Hogan and kiva, and feels related to the John Paul Jones fantasy sequence in The Song Remains the Same.
Shields for protection anticipate. Early defense includes, with prophetic gifts, an ability to triumph through efficient tactics of compensation, placement and adaptation. Our home is our castle [Capricorn] as well as our sanctuary [Moonchild] and “refuge from the storm.”

Reflex action: Capricorn, the Mountain Goat, the Sea-Goat
Tarot Trump: Trump IV, The Emperor, King, Osiris, Sovereign
House System: The Dining Room
Metal: Silver, Silver and Gold braid [especially Celtic designs], and Pewter – see Power Gemstones all treasures from the sea, including pearls, coral, mother of pearl, sunken treasure, and more.

The Sign of the Shellfish begins on the longest day of the year, the Summer Solstice. The Moon rules the fourth zodiacal sign, a water sign known as the psyche seat of power, memory, and guardian of transmigration of souls. The three water signs, Moonchild, Scorpio, and Pisces govern the oceans and seas of the world, rivers, fountains, as well as global consciousness they symbolize.

Luna helps to provide Summer’s profusion of abundant beauty, bounty, and well tended fields of gold akin to the homey harmony of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Shire. The cyclic movement of birth, death and rebirth linked with the phoenix gives us the unit of time we call a ‘month’, taken from the ancient Egyptian lunar god ‘Month.’ The right brain link with the ancient Nile embraces the land and sea [earth and water are both magnetic elements].

During the twelve months of the year many potential expressions for the psyche are available on a daily basis. Every day the world in detail is completely re-created for the native. Sensitivity to each carrier, personal vehicle, or garment, opens up the full spectrum of psyche expression in our ever-changing world. These choices would dissolve into an infinite universe, impossible to organize and use, if the divisions of time/space were not mapped out in detail by various metaphysical schools of philosophy. Taming the boundless through the study of law and denomination is a profound secret Moonchildren master over time. They are inspired by a rich, vibrant environment that is carefully planned and cultivated, like a thriving family garden. What natives do not find in the material world, they are able to locate [or manifest] in a non-physical universe as natural dowsers.
The flow of energy from the elbow through the arm, wrist, and hand to the fingertips is used by the dowser. The most important point is the wrist, and the nervous system conjoins other energy flow to be used by a dowser and the guitar wizard.

By extension, the auric field is the natural resevoir of the same energy used as healing and reserve power stored for use by the physical temple. Cells return to best integrity levels during the deep sleep state at night. External agents may appear and usher in erosion, friction, or unforeseen variables on the path we travel but the aura filters out most of the negative influences or buffers them. Simple radio, TV waves, magnetism, geomantic zones and so forth would overwhelm us otherwise.

SIGNS AND PORTENTS

right, Jimmy Page and The Edge from the movie It Might Get Loud

Modern research has plainly shown that the stars surrounding us do not constitute a simple, but a double system; a fact that was well known to the Sages. For it has been shown that many stars widely separated and apparently belonging to separate systems, are mysteriously related to each other, especially the Pleiades and the Great Bear.

There were two constellations with seven stars each. We call them the Two Bears. But the stars of the Lesser Bear were once considered to be the seven heads of the Polar Dragon. In Egypt the Great Bear was the constellation of Typhon. These stars are called the Sapta Rishi or 7 Rishis. [Their names are Amba, Dula, Nitatni, Abrayanti, Mahayanti, Varshayanti and Chupunika.] Although Ursa Major was catalogued by Ptolemy as having 8 stars and by Hevelius as having 12, nevertheless its 7 brightest stars constitute 1 of the most characteristic figures in the Northern sky, and are called by the Hindus "the husbands of the Pleiades."

"It seems difficult to account for the very remarkable and unsystematized distribution of the motions, unless we suppose that the stars form two more or less separate systems superimposed; and it has been found possible by assuming two drifts with suitably assigned velocities to account very satisfactorily for the observed motions."
Encyclopedia Britannica, Vol. XXV, 79

Instrumental Musicians

In a computer star chart study of 100 instrumental musicians [the signs occupied by Sun, Moon, and Ascendant] no zodiacal sign significantly portrays the ability of an instrumental musician. Prominent Mars thought-cells map creative energy and muscular control; Saturn maps plodding perseverance required for long, monotonous practice sessions; the Moon maps time, tune and rhythm; Neptune maps feeling and dramatic approach; and Venus, while the planet of art, maps a good ear for harmony and tonal quality. Venus in the Ascendant quincunx Luna in the Eighth House influences an urge and wish to restore historical monuments and landmarks to their original beauty, as well as rescue home and property from the wrecking ball. Jimmy Page acquired several 'historical' fixer uppers during his first Lunar Return in 1972. Left, the Tower House he bought from Irish actor Richard Harris.

Venustas This Latin term for “beauty” (literally, the salient qualities possessed by the goddess Venus) clearly implied a visual quality in architecture that would arouse the emotion of love; but it is of interest to note that one of the crucial aspects of this problem was already anticipated by Alberti in the 15th century, as is made clear by his substitution of the word amoenitas (“pleasure”) for Vitruvius’ more anthropomorphic term venustas.

Alberti not only avoids the erotic implications of the term venustas but, by subdividing amoenitas into pulchritudo and ornamentum, gives far more precise indications as to the type of visual satisfaction that architecture should provide. Pulchritudo, he asserts, is derived from harmonious proportions that are comparable to those that exist in music and are the essence of the pleasure created by architecture. Ornamentum, he claims, is only an “auxiliary brightness,” the quality and extent of which will depend essentially on what is appropriate and seemly.

During the present Iron Age it is the masculine, positive force of these Rishis that has been dominant, rather than the feminine force of the Pleiades.

For the influence of the Pleiades is exerted less upon the immediate events in the mundane sphere than upon the higher planes, yet it is always the feminine force which brings forth the great changes which appear on earth as the dominance of the cycle of 1 sub-race gives place to the next.

For corresponding reasons, during this cycle only the masculine Masters of Wisdom manifest in earth conditions, the feminine Masters working in the higher* realms.

The 1970 progressed star chart for Jimmy Page emphasizes Trump VII The Chariot, the man who has become the Conqueror, master both of himself and the elements, making the cube -- now become the Philosopher's Stone -- his chariot; the heavens his canopy; the 2 sphinxes that draw the chariot, the forces of the Great Agent, his servants to bear him onward. His cuirass is the "breastplate of righteousness" or his knowledge of the manifestations of the Divine which makes him invulnerable to assaults from either the human or elemental kingdoms.

The Urim and Thummim upon his shoulders indicate his priestly power to answer all questions through direct inspiration from the Divine. The globe on the scepter, surmounted by the square and triangle, indicates the 7 fold powers of man arising from the O.

What Goes Around Comes Around

In 1964, Peter Grant and Mickie Most formed a rock management company under the name of RAK Music Management. "RAK was chosen as the name of the company," says Grant, "but names are not important in this business. People don't say, 'Let's get in touch with RAK Management.' They say, 'Let's go see Peter Grant.' ..."

rt, Peter Grant and Ahmet Ertegun

... Grant first became associated with the Yardbirds and, more significantly, with Jimmy Page. Page and Grant took an instant liking to each other. Grant was highly impressed by Page's uniquely professional approach to what he was doing and by his intelligence and sensitivity. He also liked the way Page handled himself through the "cloak-and-dagger" days of Jeff Beck stamping out of the Yardbirds. And Page was equally impressed by Grant's unpretentiousness.

... When the Yardbirds split up, it was simply assumed that Grant would stay with Page. Grant always felt that inevitably Page would succeed at what he wanted to do; for his part Page knew he was unlikely to find a more ideal manager. When Jimmy wanted to keep the Yardbirds alive - Grant owned the name - or form a new group, Grant encouraged him.
            -Ritchie Yorke, The Led Zeppelin Biography

Atlantic Records mogul Ahmet Ertegun had a long-play association with Led Zeppelin that goes to their earliest days. In 1968, after hearing the band's demo, Ertegun knew their songs would become massive hits the first time he heard them. He made a magical move that expanded R & B know how into British rock & roll terrain. Ertegun began the relationship by signing Led Zeppelin and helped guide them through a phenomenal career. His extraordinary line up included many top drawer artists of the era, from the Rolling Stones through Cream and Genesis.

Ertegun was also the founder and chairman of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, to which he was elected in 1987 for his pioneering contributions to popular music.

IT MIGHT GET LOUD

Director Davis Guggenheim, well-known for his Academy Award-winning documentary An Inconvenient Truth, deepens our appreciation for going electric by bringing together three virtuosos from different generations: Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin, The Edge of U2 and Jack White of The White Stripes. It Might Get Loud weaves together their stories to reveal how each of them developed a unique sound.

It Might Get Loud is an innovative approach to rock documentary film; a profile, of sorts, of the electric guitar and a portrait, of sorts, of some very famous rock stars who love it, the film assembles Jack White (of the White Stripes, among others), Jimmy Page (of Led Zeppelin), and The Edge (of U2) to talk about their lives in music. Their marquee bandmates -- Robert Plant, Bono, Meg White -- are seen only in archival footage. Instead, the three men gather to form a jam session or impromptu supergroup -- or something -- intercut with their individual stories.

Thor, the Norse god of thunder and son of Odin, commanded storms and lightning. His chariot was drawn by two goats, called Toothgrinder and Toothgnasher. When the chariot moved its wheels groaned and rumbled like thunder, while sparks struck from the wheels echoed the lightning. Thor possessed the magical hammer Mjollnir, forged for him by the dwarf Brok, which would destroy anything it was thrown at, always returning to the hand of the caster. It was also used as the symbol for blessing a marriage, the hammer being laid in the bride's lap. Only Thor could wield this sacred weapon. To do so he needed to put on his iron gloves.

Jimmy Page daily journal

K2 and the mountaineers who forged through uncharted territory - the earliest ascents - and assaulted one of highest peaks in the world include Oscar Eckenstein, a reliable and steadfast rock climber, one of Aleister Crowley's trusted partners. Eckenstein was already well known in the west as an English rock climber-mountaineer, and godfather of bouldering as a sport. He, like Crowley, delved deeply into the ancient knowledge. Eckenstein was noticed as 'unusual' - probably because of his power stellium clustered around Regulus, The Royal Star [@ 27Leo in his radix star chart]. His Jewish heritage made him a marginal choice for some in esoteric quarters. When Crowley refused to cut him from the active A-list he encountered a cold shoulder from some influential climbers who also participated in Crowley's mystical networking.

 

Page opens British Walk
of Fame

By This is London
24 August 2004

Legendary Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page became the first artist to be immortalised in the British Walk of Fame yesterday.

The rocker officially opened the new attraction on London's Piccadilly by casting his handprints in cement. Based on the famous Hollywood Walk of Fame, the British version will feature music icons.

"It's a real privilege and a great honour to be the first," Page said. "I'm really chuffed. "A Walk of Fame is a fantastic idea and it's high time we had one in London. "There are a lot of musicians out there who deserve the honour. If you started putting in all the people I think are deserving, you could cover the whole of London."

The Walk of Fame is outside the new Virgin Megastore on Piccadilly, formerly the old Tower Records store. "This has always been a prestigious site for music so it's right that the Walk of Fame should be here," Page said.

Led Zeppelin were one of the biggest rock bands of the 1970s with hits including Whole Lotta Love and Stairway to Heaven. Last year the band - singer Robert Plant, bassist John Paul Jones and late drummer John Bonham - topped the US album chart with a CD of live recordings from 1972.

Page, 60, said he was planning an autobiography chronicling the group's years of rock'n'roll excess. "There are a lot of stories to be told about what went on and insights to give into things that people don't really know about," he said. "So there's a good book to be written and I'm thinking about writing it."
