A Moon Shaped Pool: Eclipse (69) the Third Eye (94) → 694

The number 694 links together the deaths of David Bowie, Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington.  All three deaths are related to the solar eclipse which occurred August 21, 2017.  The titles of two of the artists' final albums ('Blackstar' and 'One More Light') can refer to an eclipse.  "Black Hole Sun" by Chris Cornell's band Soundgarden begins with the words "In my eyes, indisposed."

In "Blackstar" death occurs when light is extinguished.


  • David Bowie died shortly after his 69th birthday.
  • Using the most basic cypher (ordinal), "Eclipse" = 69.



"David Bowie" = "Third Eye" = 94 (ordinal)


  • Merging 69 and 94 forms 694.
  • Chester Bennington was born March 20, 1976.  He died July 20, 2017 (the date that would have been Chris Cornell's 53rd birthday).
  • He lived exactly 496 months.



The final Linkin Park album was "One More Light" (Released May 19, 2017, a day after Chris Cornell's death).

"One More Light" = 69 (Full Reduction)


May 19, 2017 is 94 days before the total solar eclipse which occurred August 21, 2017.


  • Merging 69 and 94 forms 694.

Combining the reverse ordinal (364) and reverse full reduction (130) of "David Bowie + Chris Cornell" equals 494.


364 + 130 = 494


David Bowie and Chris Cornell died 494 days apart:



"Decks Dark" from 'A Moon Shaped Pool" alludes to spaceship "decks" - the deck of a ship being unmanned, dark and lifeless.  "This dread circumference" is sung.  An image of a giant spacecraft able to black out a big part of the sky and create darkness in the daytime.


The Satanic cypher is based on the alphabetic order counting up from 36 (since the 36th triangular number is 666).



A Moon Shaped Pool = 694 (Satanic) - the number formed by merging 69 and 94.



David Bowie died 119 days before the release of A Moon Shaped Pool:


Chris Cornell died 375 days after the release of A Moon Shaped Pool:


Chester Bennington died 438 days after the release of A Moon Shaped Pool:



( 119) + 375 + 438 = 694
