Lovely pictures in this book by French Astrologer Christine Grenard. It was originally published in Paris. Cassell of London translated thankfully it for English readers. She does a nice comparison of Gandhi and Mozart, but I’m only attaching Mozart for viewing. Wolgang Amadeus Theophilus Mozart was born on January 27 1756 at around 10 pm in Salzburg, then the Holy Roman Empire. He was christened, Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart. His father was from a wealthy family from which he was estranged, and a musician, though to support his family a music teacher. His mother came from a middle class…

William Frankland in his book, Investigative Astrology c. 1900, has this chart with the question of what is his problem? He gives us some clues: there is a kite configuration made of the opposition between Mercury and Uranus. He also lets us know that Jupiter is in its essential house of Pisces and Venus is there and exalted. The trine, depicted in yellow, goes from that conjunction to the Ascendant at 20 Cancer and then to Uranus on the fourth-fifth house cusp. Based on the orbs, this is one off-kilter Water Trine while the kite’s tail — an opposition made…

Since we are in Kansas this week, I noticed, that today is the 55th memorial for the death of Patsy Cline and crew who took off from here on March 3, 1963 on a fatal flight back home to Nashville, Tennessee. The chart below is pogressed from Ms. Cline’s rectified natal to approxmiate time at the KC airport. She was there to perform at benefit at the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall, Kansas City, Kansas for the family of disc jockey “Cactus” Jack Call, who had died in an automobile crash a little over a month earlier. She boarded a…

Janis Lyn Joplin was born on January 19, 1943 at 9:50 am in St. Mary’s Hospital in Port Arthur, Texas. Her father, Seth Joplin, worked at Texaco, and she had two younger siblings, Michael and Laura. When she had acclaim she admitted that the Empress of the blues singer, contralto Bessie Smith (1894-1937) and the voice of the Civil Rights movement, Odetta¹ ( 1930-2008) was her vocal inspiration. She has a wonderful voice and died too young from a heroin overdose on October 3, 1970 in Hollywood California. We have rectified this chart to 28 Aquarius that highlights her eccentric…

We have rectified Jim Nabors’ ascendant at to Cancer 10 that gets the epithet of Great Memory from E C Matthews. Astrologer G.K. McClung in his Hyperion symbols says that it is a degree of “ripe cherries on a tree” creating the image of great promise, typically musical, and accomplishment. His Sun and Jupiter are conjunct on the First House giving him great luck and a religious tone in his life. This saw culmination in his many religious songs and Christmas tunes (click for Go tell it on the Mountain.) if not in his wide eyed happy depiction of Gomer Pyle,…

David Cassidy, the actor, singer and teen heartthrob with the green eyes and the feathered haircut was the magical success of “The Partridge Family,” the 1970s television show about a family band. The band’s songs, sung by himself and his stepmother, Shirley Jones, were all the rage in the early seventies. It had several notable starts, Danny Bonaduce and Susan Dey amongst them. Shirley was already a big musical name coming from Rogers and Hammerstein’s 1950s musicals. David played Keith Partridge, the eldest of five children in a family that forms a band and goes on tour in a multicolored…

In the second half of the 19th century Adelina Patti was probably the best operatic soprano of the day. She was peerless. Audiences flocked to see and hear her from St. Petersburg to San Francisco. Internationally famous authors eulogized her; critics renowned for their severity were unstinting in her praises. Even other prima donnas, a breed unknown for their generosity to rivals, acknowledged her supremacy. She remains for many in the operatic world, the yardstick that all others are measured against. …

We have information on Jacqueline Nourritt #727 in the Jones 1000, but it cannot corroborate it. We will probably add her into our database nevertheless but we would appreciate it if someone can confirm her existence. July 1, 2017 Well that ended happily thanks to E.C. Chambers in his magnificent book Fixed Stars and Degrees of the Zodiac Analyzed published originally 1923, reprinted in 1949 states that Miss Nourritt has Three degrees of Pisces for her moon. That was rectified to a 7:07 PM birth time for her birth place, Asineres-sur-Seine, France getting the ascendant of 12 Sagittarius or…
