Delta showed an interest in music and performance from a young age, and as well as singing she also plays the piano, too. Natally she has a Venus-Neptune conjunction in Sagittarius and a whole stellium of planets in that sign. The feeling life is hopeful, philosophical and expansive, with strong romantic idealism in relationships, this person believes in the fairytale. Venus-Neptune types usually excel in the arts, music and photography, moreover, people with these contacts are inspired by beauty and peace.
At Aged 15 she signed a record deal with Sony, but the singer's earlier songs failed to chart successfully, however, after gaining a role in Neighbours it re-launched her career. On the 8th of July 2003, at the age of 18, Delta was diagnosed with a form of cancer that attacks the immune system. The singer was forced to quit all work commitments while receiving treatment and she revealed in an interview that her body had been giving warning signs. The symptoms included a head to toe rash, weight loss, night sweats, and the appearance of a lump in her neck. Delta has Sun conjunct Saturn in Scorpio, and this is a heavy, dark, serious and intense aspect. The Sun-Saturn contact describes a cautious, hardworking, and controlled individual, and this person knows the value of hard-earned accomplishments.
All Scorpio placements face some kind of life and death struggle and look at life’s underside. Psychologically speaking, they “die” and are “born again” throughout life. Astrologers refer to Scorpio planets, 8th house placements and strong Pluto contacts as packing several lifetimes into one. Delta has strength, will power and an unlimited source of power. However, she has been forced to face a particularly difficult ordeal. Above all else, Scorpio's reemerge more vital than before after life-changing events. When undergoing very deep and soulful journeys they learn to appreciate life and aim to live it in a rich and fulfilling way. Coupled with her Scorpio conjunction, she has a Mars square Pluto contact that is often found in the charts of those with strong survival instincts.
“ Perhaps there is such a strong survival instinct with this combination, people with it often have a tremendous resistance to colds, but I have seen charts of Aids and cancer sufferers with tight Mars-Pluto contacts. In such cases the individuals are learning that they have a life-threatening disease, have exerted themselves not only to survive but to reach their peak of physical fitness. Others have used the experience to penetrate the workings of their psyche and transform their lives. Even Mars-Pluto people whose lives are not threatened will often react to situations as if they were.” Sue Tompkins, Aspects in Astrology
When Goodrem was diagnosed with Cancer, transiting Neptune squared her Sun-Saturn conjunction in Scorpio. Transiting Neptune to the Sun can bring confusion around one’s identity and a period of self-doubt and disorientation. Health problems can surface under hard aspects and general feelings of being lost, frustrated and disillusioned also accompany the contact. The Mistaken Identity album was recorded when she returned back to work in 2004, after the cancer went into remission.
The album contained deeper and darker lyrics than those found on her debut. Extraordinary Day is about the day she was diagnosed with Cancer. Last Night on Earth is a song about death and love. The Analyst is about the hours spent in self-analysis. Be strong is a song about hanging in there and keeping it together. Some of the other lyrics talk about emotional suicide and monsters crawling in her bed, reflecting the darker side that she struggled to overcome. Delta also met her fiancé, Brian McFadden, while recording a duet called Almost Here. The singer had transiting Pluto conjunct her natal Venus signifying an intense love relationship (Venus) and one that she had begun under a great crisis (Pluto) in her life.
