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 […]

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.

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.

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.

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.
