Political Aspirations & Congressman Lee Zeldin

- By e~collage

I did a chart for Lee winning the New York state gubernatorial race and felt he would win. He did not, so I had to review the chart and discover why. Of course, the obvious reason is the number of people leaving New York is at an all-time high, and those were lost voting opportunities. Thus, Zeldin is out of touch with what New York is becoming — a chaotic mess instead of a shining beacon of opportunity. Under that scenario I am not sure if anyone but a demagogue like Hochul can win the state, but as that becomes…

Chekhov’s Modernist Influence: A Deep Dive

- By e~collage

Anton Chekhov was a medical doctor and a writer of plays. One of his first plays was the Seagull available here on Gutenberg, about the artistic clashes and melancholy ala Shakespeare’s Hamlet (which is slyly alluded to), that Sir Tom Stoppard wrote “You can’t have too many English Seagulls: for , the Russian one will be forever elusive.”. The other three great plays he wrote were The Cherry Orchard, The Three Sisters, and Uncle Vanya. Chekhov, the Early Years He was born on January 29 1860 in the small seaport town of Taganrog, Rostov, Russia. His father was a former…

Naomi Judd Requiescat in pace

- By e~collage

Naomi Judd died on Saturday, April 30, 2022 at 76 the night before her induction in the Country Hall of Fame. Celestiology is interested in what brought this about. Her daughters Wynonna and Ashley Judd said in a statement that they had lost their mother “to the disease of mental illness.” Her husband, a former backup singer for Elvis Presley, has made no comment. The wording of the family’s statement was heavily scrutinized on social media. Many fans felt the phrasing rang true, given Naomi’s openness about her struggles with depression and suicidal ideation. Others criticized the statement as frustratingly…

Ben Franklin, Bestial Things & Signs

- By e~collage

Bestial came up as the WOTD from the OED today. I am not sure if you can access it so I copied the record. The original is here and a printable version below. Reading the entry I realized the renowned dictionary did not mention signs bestial — those signs that are animal-like who stand on four feet or are quadrupeds: Aries (Ram) Taurus (Bull) Leo (Lion), Sagittarian (Centaur), and Capricorn (Goat) but neither Cancer (Crab) Scorpio (Insect) nor Pisces (Fish) as they crawl; it seemed to me quite an “errata” as Benjamin Franklin would say.

Always capable, Magnum P.I. and Tom Selleck

- By e~collage

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…

Civil Libertarian, Fred Korematsu

- By e~collage

This chart is for support of Mr. Korematsu’s civil liberties struggle so you can use it against the charts on the FDR Interment essay. I did not rectify it but chose the standard sunrise birth chart. Korematsu was born on January 30, 1919 in Oakland, California, the third of four sons born to parents who had immigrated from Japan. Of all the asteroids that appear in the many maps during the War Years, Hidalgo, the centaur, shows up on his birth chart, partile to his Sun. It seems rather prescient that when he changed his identity he claimed he was…

Totally Modern: Michelle Obama

- By e~collage

Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Obama was a very well loved first lady, typical of Splay Temperament types. She was so loved many of her fans who heard her speak at the 2016 Democratic Convention urged her to run in 2020. She has said she will not, that eight years in the White House was enough. Politics though is fickle and as the Hall of Fame catcher Yogi Berra would say, everything is possible until “the fat lady sings”. Descendant of a slave Through her mother, Michelle is a direct descendant of a male slave owned by a plantation in Alabama. Nothing is mentioned from…

Balanchine’s Mel Tomlinson

Mel A. Tomlinson, a ballet dancer of powerful, regal demeanor and one of the few performers to star with three major companies — Dance Theater of Harlem, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater and New York City Ballet — reposed on February 5th in Huntersville, N.C, about 150 miles from his birthplace in Raleigh. He was 65. Twenty years ago he had had AIDS and was in and out of the hospital for three years before eventually getting admitted to the House of Mercy AIDS hospice in Belmont, N.C., in 1998: he made a full recovery. While there he became…

Mozart ala Christine Grenard's Book: Astrology

- By e~collage

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…

The Enigmatic Life of Jamal Khashoggi: Birth, Disappearance & Legacy

- By e~collage

‘If you ask Google “when is Jamal Khashoggi’s birthday”, it will return October 13 1958. Based on that, we created this chart using a sunrise birthtime and whole houses since we are working the dark. Nothing odd about that but the chart is rather perplexing for him. Obviously whatever we know about the journalist is either wrong or the date is; perhaps both. What we know is that Jamal Khashoggi was born in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. The Washington Post and the New York Times says nothing more, but of course his surname “Khashoggi” brings up connections to Adnan Khashoggi, the…

Midpoints of the Moon for Mel Gibson

- By e~collage

Our header picture is Mel Colm-Cille Gerard and Robyn Denise Gibson way back in 1981 when they newly married. He seems to favour that look: tall and dark haired, as all three mothers of his cumulative nine children resemble each other. This is a Midpoint Tree produced by Kepler software. Lots of other software packages do this as well, including the 60.00 WinStar Express first put out by Michael Erlewine’s Matrix software but now bought up by the Cochrane’s, , so this is no deal breaker when searching for a package. To save space I just did the Midpoints…
