It was a fluke that I ran into Zoe on her birthday yesterday, December 1, so I took it as a sign and did her chart. The official birth chart for December 1, 1988 at Venice, California is not bad except it is rectified to local mean time, but shown as clock time. Marc Jones, was a big adherent of clock time, but I do not agree with him, and having slowly been rectifying all the old charts to lmt. Not much changes, it’s only eight minutes difference, except for the ascendant and midheaven. Much ado about nothing Overall, her…

Roseanne’s birthday was last week. I remembered I had her chart from a while ago from someone who asked when the show was still on t.v. She has an incredibly lucky chart, as shown by the trine midpoints below. Even her grand fixed square works to her advantage, but the thing I find striking is Uranus in Cancer right on the ninth house cusp of t.v. shows (and historically publications) opposite her Mars in the second house in Capricorn.

The great Flynn Fight, Winchell vs. Doane Errol Leslie Flynn was a swashbuckling handsome actor of the 1930’s who starred in many films with Olivia de Haviliand including Captain Blood. He was born on the Winter Solstice in Hobart Tasmania, Australia, June 20th 1909 around 2:30 in the morning so says most astrological sites citing Doris Chase Doane of the Church of Light. His ascendant is the fiery at 13 Aries (an unsuccessful bomb explosion) that in so many ways sums up his personal life. Gossip Columnist Walter Winchell (in the Jones natives #981), says the year was wrong–Flynn was…

A comedian does Scrooge Sir Alastair Sim was a British actor who is best known for his role as Scrooge in the Dicken’s Christmas classic, Scrooge c. 1951. It plays somewhere on television every Christmas though recently that is just via streaming. Luckily, someone put up a copy on YouTube for the rest of us. He married his student Naomi in 1930 when he was the Fulton Lecturer in Elocution at New College, Edinburgh University. They were married when Naomi turned 18 in 1930, just when Pluto the planet, not the streaming television station, was discovered. They had one daughter,…

Being Ed or it is Lou? Ed’s claim to television fame was as Lou Grant in Mary Tyler Moore Show, as the obnoxious and hard-nosed yet lovable tyrant who ran the WJM-TV’s Six O’clock Newsroom in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The clip below, the first episode of the iconic show, that ran on CBS, aka then the Tiffany Network, from 1970 to 1977, got Ed the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences nomination for an Emmy for best supporting actor in a comedy series every year for the next seven. He won in 1971, 1972 and 1975. When CBS canceled the show,…

From Magnum P.I. on, Tom Selleck has been a television heart throb. He made few movies because his studio would not release him, fearing that further publicity would make his demand more in next contract, thus Harrison Ford got the title role, and highly lucrative, Indian Jones part. Pity isn’t it? Selleck has a grand trine in air, perhaps that is why he plays such compelling detective roles — almost becoming a modern day Sherlock. His Neptune part this trio is in the twelfth house conjunct Jupiter, showing the limited range the studios have allowed him, but how nonetheless he…

Just E.G. He was from a Minnesota farming family and despite his riches never changed his Minnesota Democratic Farmer-Labour Party affiliation — a socialist political organization formed after World War I. It was a populist progressive party complete with the desire of cradle to grave care including government ownership of important industries, total cradle to grave health care, guaranteed wage. During the Depression, it was very appealing, Democrats try to bring it back in various guises believing it still it, but the Great Boom of the 1950s it lost its élan.

Douglas Fairbanks sr was the original Hollywood swashbuckler in Mark of Zorro, thief of Baghadad and Robin Hood but his feats did not stop there, he was the founder of United Artists, that Michael Cimino ran into the ground with a stupendous budget overload with Heaven’s Gate, married Mary Pickford, America’s Sweetheart and considered the “King of Hollywood” until he retired and Clark Gable inherited it but it was Australian Errol Flynn that brought the pirate to talkies. It’s uncanny how much Flynn looks like Fairbanks, jr. Fairbanks, not his real name, was born Douglas Elton Thomas Ullman on May…

The First Film Sherlock Clive Brook, a popular British actor, the first to play Sherlock Holmes on film. His bearing and elocution set the stage for the popular Basil Rathbone, and even the later, much later, Benedict Cumberbatch. Thatmakes sense as his chart has an incredible preponderance of Gemini spanning the whole of the tenth house, perhaps highlighting both his sardonic wit and acting career. This air preponderance suggests he was very communicative, enjoyed feedback, and probably read all his critical reviews. because he was interested in the ideas of people as they concerned him and his career. An air…
