A new biography came out about Karl Lagerfeld. This one is written by his friend, Thomas Middleton, and while it follows the official line Karl was born in 1933, the book supports our rectification about his character and persona. Our original post on Lagerfeld is here. Another quirk is Lagerfeld gets the same house ascendant, or […]

J399 Germany’s Blue Max: Hermann W. Goering
Göring was an ace flyer in Germany’s First World War. He was fast acting, reactive fighter pilot (Venus and Mercury conjunct in Sagittarius – Capricorn) with good stamina and physical courage.
Aussergewöhnlich Kurt Gödel *
A long time ago I read Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid by Douglas Hofstadter and since then became a fan of this sensitive and gifted mathematician. I highly recommend the book and since we are closing down, I figured I get a few of my favorites in before then. Kurt Friedrich Gödel (in […]
Karl Lagerfeld: Fashion Innovator and Visionary
The Legend Our header picture is of the young Karl Lagerfeld at Maison Chloe which is where he began his creative journey in 1964. He stayed there for twenty years, left for about seven years and then returned for another five before leaving permanently to head Maison Chanel (House of Chanel). As creative director of Chanel, […]

She continued his work in Medical Astrology after he died in 1919, that we surmise, was from the Spanish flu epidemic, most who were middle […]
#J829 The Black Uhlan of the Rhine – Max Schmeling
Marc Jones has Schmeling at a standard unknown time with no place, so we put in the Prenzlau location from Astro.com. This chart is what we got.
#J278 Eau de Dietrich
Our featured photo is of her and Cesare Romano in “The Devil is a Woman” directed by Josef von Sternberg. It was her favorite film because it made her look “beautiful.” You can watch it here and see if you agree. Marlene Dietrich, a German femme fatale, is also a mutable hourglass. Like Joseph Haydn, […]
Marie Schneider & the golden earrings
British psychologist Havelock Ellis wrote up a fascinating case study of eight-year-old Marie Schneider. I rectified it based on her account, giving her a 01 Aquarius Ascendant; John Dillinger has this same degree on his Descendent according to Astrotheme.com E. C. Chambers claims it should be the other way and similar to Marie. Following that hunch […]
