French astrologer, Andre Barbault, reposed on the afternoon of 7 October 2019. Commencing his studies at seventeen years old, Monsieur Barbault gave the world eighty one years of profound study. His predictions of world events are well-known and his wisdom came from intense study of human psychology married to relentless research. He was born at a solar eclipse on October 1, 1921, at 5:00 p.m. in Champignelles, France (about 4 hours away by Metro; 2 hours by voiture). He rectified his chart to 4:54:21 p.m. that of course we use for his chart. His website is AndreBarbault and he has…

On October 16 1793, Queen Marie-Antoinette-Josèphe-Jeanne d’Autriche-Lorraine (Austria-Lorraine) of France was guillotined in Paris, France. Her husband, King Louis XVI, has fallen nine months earlier. Looking at the chart, which we picked for 9 am for the act. This gives the chart below marked heavily by a fixed grand cross, culminating at her death with an ascendant of 20 Scorpio 55.It is striking as her natal Sun is 10 Scorpio 35, while the event’s Sun is 23 Libra 27, the Queen natal moon is 20 Libra 40. Her natal ascendant was rectified by French astrologer, the late Andre Barbault to…

Read her magnificent bio on New World. I cannot improve on that. She is bucket with a Moon handle, a common occurrence for writers (see Emily Bronte) who write romances. She has a preponderance in the sixth house in Capricorn highlighting her hard work on her novels and since her north node is trine her Midheaven, how much she aspired to be successful. This is emphasized because of her North Node conjunct her Sun in the sixth — its an extra push in ambition. Her relationship with the composer Franz Liszt is highlighted in the seventh house opposite her ascendant…

Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel, the great couturier , was born on August 19, 1883 in Saumur France at 4 PM. Her ascendant is 30 Sagittarius, a secret business meeting, apropos for someone who held court with the Nazi SS during the Second World War. It is also conjunct the Galactic Center (26 Sagittarius), that imaginary point in our Milky Way that the Sun and the Moon and all the stars revolve around. It seems rather apropos. While Madame never married and had no children, her 5th house is populated with the various tools for her creation: Mars (cutting fabric, the precision…

Marc Jones wrote very little on the nodes, so last month we took a turn with several other authors and highlighted their work on the nodes. Naturally, we found some better than others like Martin Schulman, Georges Muchery and Bernice Grebner, but in all honesty we did not survey Dr. Mohan Koparkar, Haydn Paul and the Hubers, so this month, June, we are going to continue our with the nodes, highlighting them. Each month, we will discuss another popular asteroid or trans-Neptunian planet. This month we start the parade with Asteroid Lilith which discovered on February 11, 1927 at 11 pm…

This chart shows French actor, Patrick Dewaere’s natal chart inside and his suicide chart on the out. What is stunning is that they both have fixed cosmic crosses, or grand squares that met on July 16th and went boom. I happened to catch him in A Bad Son that should have been titled Gloom Doom and Family as there are no jokes but one (“As I was French they put me to work in kitchen” he tells his father when they meet after 5 years separation, “but that did not work so then I was in laundry.”) Did Thomas Keller…

First is Dr. Bauhin’s chart as would have been made for him at his birth, unless Campanus or Regiomontanus was in favour, a Hellenistic whole house affair. We have rectified him to 05.18 Gemini, that Dr. Gordon says gives a “studious and sane mind. Sober judgement.” I decided to do a chart on him because of all the planting I did over the weekend and was reading some things about daffodils, those lovely heralds of spring and got naturally curious. This setup gives him a definite Grand Trine and makes him a locomotive — a person who follows their interests…

Michel Gauquelin (November 13, 1928–May 20, 1991) was a French psychologist and statistician who, along with his first wife Françoise Schneider-Gauquelin (born June 19, 1929), conducted very important statistical research on astrology, from the beginning of the 1950s. After their divorce, they each continued their work separately. Gauquelin said he had a lifelong interest in astrology, but was critical of the idea that it was “art” as Marc Edmund Jones proposed. Instead, Gauquelin felt it was more akin to science, with facts and repeatable lessons. He studied psychology and statistics at the Sorbonne, Paris France and thus felt he was…
