Astrology - Andy Griffith & Marilyn Monroe

Andy Griffith and Marilyn Monroe were both born June 1, 1926

Here are two amazingly different people, born on the same day in the same year, both attained stardom of enormous magnitude.

So if there is anything to astrology, how can they be so vastly different?

Here are their charts, you can listen to me discuss them by going to this link:

This is where the incredible facets of human personalty shine through the location of birth.

Though Andy Griffith and Marilyn Monroe were both born on June 1, 1926, they were born in opposite parts of the United States.

Andy was born in Mount Airy, NC.

Marilyn was born in Los Angeles, CA

For those of you who are new to astrology, this means they will have all the planets within seconds or minutes. Only the Moon might differ by degree.

But the position of these planets is vastly different because of the time of birth and the location.

Let's take a quick look at the charts:

Here is Andy's chart. Born with Pluto and the North Node at the Midheaven, in a Grand Trine to Mars, Uranus and Saturn, and in an inconjunct to the Moon and Jupiter.

While one part of this Trine is under attach - Saturn is in a T Square with Neptune opposing Moon and Jupiter.




Now Marilyn has these same planetary configurations but in different houses, so they tell a different story.




Instead of writing all about it, here it the audio about both Marilyn Monroe and Andy Griffith.

I was asked to do a radio show this morning, so this will be easier and you can download it if you like: http://bit.ly/kIuyI

Enjoy.

I am going to start recording most of my blog here, because I can speak a lot faster than I can write, and I have received many questions from folks on Twitter & Facebook. I will post the charts and you can listen and look.

Astrology - Finding A Career or Vocation

Tweeter F asked this question:

I would like to know what the future holds for me in terms of finding my vocation.

Here is the natal chart, and naturally the natal chart gives many pictures of the kind of career that may not only satisfy the individual but also if they will be successful at it, what the inherent challenges may be and of course the talents.

So let's take a look.

When looking for the vocation of an individual we need to examine the 10th, 2nd, and 5th houses, the signs and then the placement and aspects of the planets that rule those houses. This will give us a variety of possibilities that will work for the individual.


We have the sign of Aries at the Midheaven, Leo on the 2nd, and Sagittarius on the 6th. All fire signs, which alone tells us the individual is driven in some creative or physical way.


Aries is ruled by Mars, which is placed in the 12th house in the sign of Cancer. It is opposite Neptune in the 6th house in the sign of Capricorn. Mars is also sextile the Moon in Taurus in the 10th house of Career, while the Sun in Gemini sits near the Mars/Moon midpoint in the 11th house, the house of hopes and dreams.


So we immediately identify the issue this individual comes in with, which is that his mother and father will not agree. He will be loyal to his mother and his mother will be supportive of him, but in the long run this loyalty will sabotage his dream of a creative career. And though he is frustrated and stressed by his father, his father is opening doorways for him as a gift from a past life.

So where is the real conflict, or is there one?

Tweeter F has a drive to be seen and to compete on the world stage (world of course may be different for people depending on how and where they are raised.)

The normally physical planet of energy Mars is not in a very energetic sign or location. Being in Cancer, and in the 12th house of Pisces, Tweeter F's Mars becomes over-protective and may sabotage his career due to an inner struggle with illusions, religion, spirituality and or learning. Yet, this individual should have every opportunity for education.

They have a challenge to know what is best for them, so it is no wonder they have asked this question, it has been with them since birth.

The trine between Mars and Pluto in the 4th house, while Pluto opposes the Moon gives a real clue to when the individual will take the reins and run with their vocation. It indicates that when the individual transforms emotionally, which may come later in life as a result of a transformation of their mother. Or if they choose to work on these issues now they may speed up the process and release themselves from what holds them back. (Though I have to tell you Moon in Taurus is the most stubborn, over loyal Moon. It is this type Moon that does not know how to let go even when there is nothing there to hold onto.)

If we simply view the chart for what might be a good profession for this individual, here are some of the pictures that emerge.

The workplace should be a worldly place, a university, or place of higher learning, a spiritual environment, or a legal one. There is also a possibility that they may work internationally, and should have much opportunity to travel, move about freely and experience a vast variety in their career. Might also be a place of media, which might include radio, television, film, or advertising and marketing.

Additionally the individual should have an excellent voice, and may be a fine vocalist, announcer, DJ, or voice over person.


How will they make their money?

The answer to this question comes from the second house, its ruler and the aspects to that ruler. In this case the second house falls under Leo, ruled by the Sun in the 11th house of hopes and dreams, sextile the North Node at the Midheaven.

Having Leo on this cusp is nice, it gives some stability to the income when the ruler, the Sun is well aspected, which it is in this chart. Though there is frustration with the dream of becoming a world leader, the Sun's aspects to the nodes indicate the individual comes in with a past life connection the father, which will provide a home, and stream of income, or source of values that lead to both the dream and the income.

Since the Sun is in Gemini, the sign of communication, we get another signature indicating this individual should be a strong communicator. Twitter F is filled with ideas, knows innately how to network and is not afraid to ask for what they want. Their income stream may come from their Father, their creativity, children, hobbies, investments or lovers.

So when we add all these factors together, Tweeter F has a great potential for good. They may become an international voice for children, a legal advocate or liason, a teacher, actor, musician, artist. Most assuredly they are talented, and out-going with an inquisitive, creative, fast paced mind. And as they go through life, many of these scenarios will most likely play out.


When Jupiter conjoins Twitter F's Progressed North node - 8 degrees Aries beginning in March 2011, they will know the answer to this question and be on the road to achieve what, they as soul chose for this life.

Astrology Explains American Idol Lose for Adam Lambert

America Loves Kris Allen

If you read my column or heard me on the radio last year when I did numerous astrological accounts of the upcoming presidential election, you already have an idea of what I am going to say.

America lights up and responds to certain planetary configurations.

Despite the fact that Adam Lambert is hands down the best singer / performer / entertainer to ever activate the stage on American Idol, his planetary configuration could not electrify America like Kris Allen's

Since I do not have the time of birth for either contestant, I am obliged to work with their dates of birth alone. I do not even have the exact location of Adam's birth, so we cannot construct an accurate astrological wheel. Thus I cannot speak of the rising of planets in their charts and give keys to upcoming events, challenges and opportunities in their lives.

But we can take their data and patch it into the US chart, to see how they activate America.

When we do this, we can see clearly which contestant lays claim to America's votes.

So here is what it looks like:

Adam Lambert, born January 29, 1982, location not verified.

On the day Adam was born the Moon changed signs, so he may have been born with Moon in Aries or in Pisces. And I cannot be certain which, since I have so little information. His love for drama makes me believe it is most likely a late Pisces Moon, but of course a mitigated Aries Moon could still activate this love.

I would also stake a guess that he has Uranus close to his Ascendant because of his brilliance.

The power he seems to exude through his presence may indicate a late Scorpio Rising, which would put Uranus close to the Ascendant.

However he might also have Sagittarius on the Ascendant because of the way he walks and how he looks. He has a noble carriage, big bones, which are indicative of a Sagittarius Ascendant. Since Uranus is early in Sagittarius, Adam could have either the Scorpio or Sagittarius Ascendant.

Additionally Uranus in the first house makes the individual gravitate to a unique look in clothing, hair, etc.

At any rate, here are Adam Lambert's planets placed on a chart of the United States. (note the Moon may be in a different sign)





Immediately you see that he activates America, but that he also challenged the way America thinks by his very appearance. His North Node lands on the US Mercury (planet of communication) His Venus is conjunct the US Pluto in the house of communication, indicating his voice and what he loves will transform and reveal a deeper thought pattern in the nation.

Additionally Adam's Venus on America's Pluto shows he loves using his voice to change the way America thinks.

His Saturn and Pluto both form a powerful T-Square to the US Mercury and Pluto. This emphasizes a challenge to break up thought patterns, and challenges our ideas of what beauty may be.

So even though Adam Lambert may be the best singer ever to perform on American Idol, his chart activates America in ways that made it difficult for them to give him the trophy. To do so would have said, we are free of our old ways of thinking.

Mercury in Cancer tells us what Americans think our country, our families and our children should be like - mom, home & apple pie. And because the US Moon is in the 9th house, this is the image we want to project to the world.

Through the Saturn Pluto T Square to Mercury & Pluto, Adam Lambert challenged that image. Despite his incredible performances, he could not squeeze into that image (and he would never want to based on his chart), while a look at Kris's chart, may show how he easily fits into what America thinks their children should be.



Kris Allen, born June 21, 1985 (1985-06-21 in Jacksonville, Arkansas (location is verified, no time given but Moon was in Leo all day)

Here are Kris Allen's planets placed on a chart of the United States.





Kris's chart so strongly activates America in a positive way, that if we had looked at this months ago, any astrologer could have easily predicted a victory for this young man.

Take a look at how close his Moon is to the US Midheaven and how it activates America's North Node. This tells us, he emotionally nurtures America's purpose for public and international media. His draws an emotional response from Americans of the family image they feel is their purpose to send out internationally. He meets America's astrological criteria of someone who can tell the world who we are.

Kris's Mercury, (Planet of communication) activates the midpoint between Jupiter & Mercury (International success through communication) while also activating the US sun (Successful American image), and his Mars (Energy, actions) activates the most successful midpoint in the US chart, the Sun Jupiter midpoint (Super success). Hands down this chart takes the nation.

I could go on about this chart, but I think I have said enough.

A note to Kris Allen ~ with your chart the nation will bow to you. Please serve America well as you live your life, you can do great things for this country through your music and beyond. Your chart could take you into political service, or international diplomacy. America loves YOU - not just your talent

Astrocartography - President Obama

Hi all, on Tuesday May 19th, I was a guest on the Astro Chatter radio show with Pamela Cucinell and Monica Starr

You can download the show by clicking here: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/astrochatter/2009/05/19/AstroChatter-Radio

We spoke astrology with an emphasis on moving or relocation astrology, known as astrocartography.

To start the show I was asked to look at President Obama's chart, and what astrological influences he would experience as a result of moving.

So let's take a look at President Obama's charts. First here is his natal chart:



When you consider astrocartography, you will pay close attention to what planets land on the angles of the chart.

For those of you who are new to astrology charts, look at the wheel above. Imagine a cross running through the center of the chart. The corners of that cross, north, south, east and west, are the points we call the angles. These are the most powerful parts of a chart.

The one on the left is known as the Rising Point or Ascendant. Because if you were to see the sky at the moment you were born, from the location where you were born, the constellation you see on this point in your chart, would reflect the constellation that was just rising above the horizon at that moment.

The north point is known as the Midheaven or MC, and it is called that because the constellation that is noted on that point in the chart is the one that was at the zenith on the day and moment you were born.

The right point of the chart is where the constellation was descending below the horizon, thus it is known as the Descendant.

And the South point is the darkest part of the chart, known as the IC or Nadir. The constellation there would be below the horizon when you were born, thus no one could see it from your place of birth.

These four points are also known as: Rising = 1st house cusp, Midheaven = 10th house cusp, Descendant = 7th house cusp, and Nadir or IC = 4th house cusp.

So let's take a look at Barack's chart.

What you see on the angles in Obama's natal chart in Hawaii, is the North node and Uranus at the Midheaven, the South node on the Nadir. This tells us that being in Hawaii, the major influences for this location are karmic (nodes), and that in this location he will learn leadership skills from unorthodox teachers. He will experience excitement and sudden changes that put him in leadership roles, acting roles, legal experiences, and all this will be in the public's eye.

His home will be a unique mix of family and friends, maybe a multicultural mix as well. His contacts will be people and family from past lives. It is also an area that will help point him towards his life's purpose.


Now let's look at Barack's astro influences by moving to Chicago:




Now we see Neptune is at the Midheaven.

Neptune is the ruler of Pisces, and it is known to take a person to the heights of spirituality and the depths of dispair, depending on how it is aspected in the natal chart. We find Neptune at the Midheaven in very creative people's charts, like Walt Disney, and also in the charts of religious leaders.

When a person goes to their Neptune line, they find themselves moved by a spiritual drive, often they will join some spiritual group or church. They will also be drawn to a more creative approach to their career. The Neptune line can also bring out the gambler or drug addict, if there is a propensity in the natal chart for this.

In Barack's chart, Neptune will bring out creativity and spirituality in Chicago, and also since it is the ruler of his natal 5th house (the house of love, children & investments), he may find love on this line, as well as have children and other investments, which will all benefit his career.

Neptune at the MC, in the sign of Scorpio, should increase intuitive, may bring visions, and give Barack a deeper understanding of what is behind the power that operates the universe.

The sextile to Pluto (ruler of Scorpio & ruler of the 8th house of transformation)in the 8th house, gives opportunities for Obama to transform himself to reveal a deeper purpose to his own life.

This combination in the relocated chart, will also make money available through other people's resources to construct a career that has a strong purpose based on the spiritual values of the individual. It might even come through the participation of the individual in their spiritual or church activities.

I do not know many details of Barack's life, so others will have to verify in what ways this line resonated in his life.

I will note, I saw his pastor become a public figure as he ran for the presidency, and also that experience activated the hard aspect in this configuration. Neptune square his Sun. This aspect, in this location may bring a personal public challenge from a spiritual teacher with whom the individual has a relationship, through media or in a public forum.

Finally, we note Saturn 23 minutes off the angle but having some influence. Showing that in this location Barack will work hard on himself, and how he will appear to others. He will exude a strong, presence, and appear to have issues and emotions under control.

Finally let's look at Barack Obama's chart relocated to Washington DC




The move to the White House, has changed the energies of Barack Obama's natal chart.

Now you see Saturn and Jupiter straddling the Rising Point, and creating a strong influence. Mercury is at the opposite angle, on the Descendant, and the Part of Fortune is about four degrees from the Midheaven.

The Ancients used to call the conjunction (when two planets are less than five degrees apart) of Saturn and Jupiter, the sign of the guru. Of course many people around the world were born under this combination. It's influence indicates a solid foundation from which to expand. It brings practical wisdom, long reaching goals, a universal vision, learning outside the box after a classic foundation.

To move to a location with these planets on the Ascendant emphasizes all these characteristics. At the same time, with Mercury active and opposing on the Descendant, there will be a balancing act with communication, and contracts in one-on-one relationships.

So in the White House, Obama will be seen as a man with a big cooperative vision, taking a practical disciplined stance. He will not easily be swayed, more like a castle, not easily changed. This will cause him to have to weigh and balance the ideas, contracts and conversations of the people with whom he must partner.

He will be seen as strong here, but it will be hard work to get what he wants to say and build across. This is struggle but he will be heard. And his creative communication will actually improve along this line.

His Part of Fortune in the Ninth house within four degrees of the Midheaven should bring him good media coverage and international appeal.

If you listen to the broadcast, I also offered some comments on the influences on Michelle Obama.
