Paul Clancy, published in 1940 Opera Diva Maria Jeritza’s chart. Marc Edmund Jones, a good friend, took it and put it in his 1000 in toto. Scouting around, I found the New York Times obit, which cast no light on her, and gave no help. I searched on. Finally on FindAGrave.com, I read a beautiful obit by an admirer and could see the original flaws to the Clancy chart, and rectified her chart accordingly.
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…
In astrology, the asteroid Itokawa is named in honour of Dr. Hideo Itokawa. His asteroid is used to highlight astronomical or rocketry discoveries and advances. He is affectionately called “Dr. Rocket” because on April 12, 1955. he led his fellow scientists in launching the tiny rocket called Pencil, a miniscule thing about 23CM in length of 9 inches, in the suburbs of Tokyo. That chart, with a sunrise time, is here.
Exactly where was Vladimir Putin born? In Saint Petersburg per TASS or in Soch, long the Black Sea coast near the border with Georgia? As a Colonel who is a son of a KGB Colonel, I do not believe TASS, so that’s the first problem, I do not believe the official line. It’s not just him, all living people in Hollywood or Politics, lie; they are astrologically aware. So the inevitable question is the information we have on the President of Russia, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. It started at the Olympics When the Soviets held the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Krasnodar,…
Celestiology wonders what made Sir Sidney Poitier tick, and chose the roles he did.
I honestly thought the three Warleggan family members the best thing on Poldark. Their acting was quite good and I enjoyed the performances of the actors for George, Elizabeth and Uncle Cary, immensely. I could find little on Philip (Pip) Torrens even browsing through the British papers, though YouTube yielded a few interviews. He has a long and varied career — starting with Oxford Blues (a comedy c. 1986) to Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens ( 2015) and now the Poldark Series (2016-2019). Bloxham to Cambridge Torrens went to public Bloxham School, and then onto Trinity College where he…
Raymond Burr is best known as Perry Mason, Erle Stanley Gardner’s, legal beagle and later Ironsides on television, always shedding light on lies and misdeeds and nary losing the fight. Perry existed before television, he was a radio favorite, but it was Burr’s intensity and drive for excellence that made the L.A. solicitor a household name, and running for a remarkable nine seasons before fading away into rerun history in 1966. That, though, was not the end of Burr, for he returned as the wheel-chaired crime fighter in Ironsides, which ran for another 8 seasons. Television crime-detective series owe a…

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…
Ann Sheridan was a popular actress in the 1930s and 40s playing opposite such notables as Jimmy Cagney, Humphrey Bogart and Errol Flynn. By the 1950s her health sidelined her and after that she was forgotten. She was born in Denton, Texas on February 21, 1915 at 1 am (two times are given for her on Astro.com 7 am and 1 am, I found that the 1 am time worked best so have chosen that for this article) the last of five children in what she called “a normal family”. She was the great granddaughter of Philip Sheridan, the U.S.…
Antonio Gramsci, a bitter man Gramsci’s ascendant is 29 Aries, that Dr. Gordon, calls an “independent and domineering disagreeable character” one who stands in his own in his insistence of being correct. “Through his overbearing nature stands to become a social outcast and at some point in time sustains great loses through ostracism.” Maybe, but in Europe he became a folk hero. There are several Marxist sites devoted to Gramsci, one at the Marxists International Archive, and the other at the International Gramsci Society
