Luke Perry Suffered a stroke 2/27/19 and subsequently died March 4. I admit I didn’t really know who he was other than that he is a huge star and the world was shocked by his early demise. The headlines claimed he was a teen heartthrob in early years and considered to be one of the most charismatic performers of his generation. He was born October 11, 1966. With descriptions like ‘heartthrob’ and ‘charismatic’, what else but a sun-Venus in Libra and a Mars in Leo.
What the public didn’t see about Luke was that he was hard-working, serious, dedicated to his career, because the planet Saturn was the handle of a bucket chart. He was very self-critical. Also I see that he was a producer, which accounts for the business planet Saturn standing prominently in his chart, and a positive way of working with it.

| Luke Perry's Astrological Chart |
Generally a stroke experience is indicated by Uranus (sudden, unexpected change), and Uranus was in exact aspect to his Mars. However, Luke was suffering through a number of hard aspects at the time and previous to the stroke. I expect his personal life was challenging, disruptive.
Pluto had already formed hard aspects to his sun-Venus and now Saturn was on his sun, Neptune was opposing his moon-Pluto in Virgo and preparing to transit over his Saturn, Mars was opposing his Mercury. Unusual amount of stress from planets. His entire chart was on fire. I suspect he was suffering from another serious health condition, maybe he was not aware.
The only solace is that none of these aspects would cause prolonged suffering. He passed over when he was ready and at peace.
