Benjamin Keough Presley

Benjamin Keough Presley

was the son of Lisa Marie Presley and the grandson of Elvis Presley.

We had mentioned in our forecast that Mars is in Aries till Dec and will touch off Uranus and Neptune for anyone born between the late 1980s and early 1990s (also those born between the 1940s and 1950s).

We just heard the sad news that Lisa Marie Presley’s son Benjamin Keough died on July 12 at the age of 27.

He apparently took his own life from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

He was in Calabasas, California at the time of his passing.

Benjamin Keough was born on Oct 21, 1992, and had Mercury close to Pluto in Scorpio (fatalistic attitude), a very intense, deep, and secretive mind. They are preoccupied with life and death situations and didn’t come to grips with the tragedies in his family life. 

The Ascendant was Scorpio when Benjamin was born and it makes a person even more isolated and secretive. His ex-girlfriend indicated that his favorite tarot card was the hermit!

He was also born with Moon in Leo (famous parents) sq Pluto, which added to the self-destructive theme and, along with the rest of the chart, probably made him rebellious against the system.

Transiting Mars (in the sign of Aries) squared both his natal Mars-Uranus and Mars-Neptune aspects adding to the mental stress and gun-related accidents. Mars was transiting his 6th house which is a preventive health house.

Moon was in Pisces the previous few days (Elvis was born with Moon in Pisces) which made him extremely sensitive and sad.

As soon as Moon joined Mars in Aries (impulsive actions and guns ), he shot himself in the chest and ended his life. Mars-Uranus aspect is seen in many gun-related accidents, explosions, and freak accidents,

Signs of Obsession and Mental Stress

Benjamin Keough was also born with Mars-Neptune opposition which is a sure sign of obsessions and addictions which can also lead to mental stress. Mars Neptune is a nightmare theme that also reduces the immune system of the body.

Naya Marie Rivera was an American actress, singer, and model who drowned on 8 July 2020 was also born with this aspect and Mars touched it off exactly when she drowned.

Benjamin was also born with a Mars Uranus opposition which often leads to freak accidents and danger from guns and explosions.

Our non-profit site letkidsdream is meant to find the best ways to sublimate exactly these types of aspects.

Both the Mars-Uranus and Mars-Neptune oppositions got touched off by transiting Mars and this would have continued till Dec 2020. Saturn was at the very bottom of his natal chart which, makes people keep a very low profile. This house was also called the last abode and it is a time for reflection.

Saturn at the bottom is the lowest ebb in a person’s life and you need to lay the foundations of your future success. He was born with Moon in Leo in the 10th house which is great for the limelight and public response. Saturn stays in each house for 2 1/2 years so after that he would have come out of his reclusive time. It is ironic that this happened at 3 am at his home while all his “friends” were having a party. His girlfriend was with him and screamed for him not to do it.

The Mars-Neptune nightmare theme still applies to everyone born mid-1940s to 1950s

as well as those born end of 1980 to 1992.

Signs of Depression and Mental Stress

Benjamin had a wide Moon opp Saturn which is the hallmark of depression (Elvis had a Moon conj Saturn) and not being in touch with your subconscious. This aspect gives sort of a poker face and no smile and you hardly see him smiling in any of his pictures. A moon-Saturn aspect often gives thin lips and a blank expression on the face.

We found a Moon-Saturn aspect in many autism cases as well where they don’t normally look directly at the camera and avoid eye contact.

Something very curious I have noticed is that the Ascendant at the time can also touch off different houses and aspects. In this case, the Asc there was in Benjamin’s 8th house (life and death matters) and which is also a natural Scorpio house. Other astrologers can look into this and see if it applies.
