Just my humble opinion....but I think all music and how you can either just enjoy it or meditate with it or whatever.....if a matter of personal taste. If I am listening to ANY music from American Country Music to Rock & Roll to Rock To Classical to Jazz...especially Jazz of the 30s thru the 60s...I may be overtaken by a feeling which in turn may put me in a meditative state.
So I believe it is all about TASTE and your own feelings about the music you are listening to.

Re: Satie.....humor? .....lol....not my first feeling.....more, for me, ......reverie....memory....nostalgia.

But that is just me....

I feel the same Lyn.
And jazz is very much Moon-Uranus in taste.

Regarding Satie
Satie's chart shows a paran between JU (cusp 7th) and MA-NE (cusp MC) which can be related to humor
Chang, Chingwen from U of Kansas wrote a dissertation on Satie
https://kuscholarworks.ku.edu/handle/1808/30191

... where he says
"In early 20th century France, Eric Satie was regarded among the leading figures of humor in high-art music. Many of Satie’s compositions contain different types of humor, such as parody, irony, and satire, and the eccentricity of these works left audiences baffled yet amused. Satie’s compositions with eccentric humor were influenced by his experience working as an arranger and accompanist in cabarets for over twenty years. In the Chat Noir cabaret, Satie, along with other artists, challenged the traditional aesthetic and bourgeois conventions. He composed absurdist songs and plays, providing texts full of eccentric humor in the cabaret’s own journal. These works prefigured the spirit of Dadaism."

The summum of reverie for me is the film 'Un Dimanche à la campagne' (1982) (A Sunday in the country) from Bertrand Tavernier with the music of Gabriel Fauré (Taurus rising with the Moon in Cancer in the 4th). Nothing happens in this movie except the music of Gabriel Fauré.
