John McCain: maverick with a heart
September 7th, 2018 · No Comments · Astrology, celebrity, Instruction
By all odds, John McCain should have died in Vietnam. His survival made him a legend worthy of what is truly great about America: demonstrating courage under fire, and acting with honesty and integrity in support of principles that transcend individual well-being for the sake of one’s country. His chart has several classic yogas. Sasha […]

Vladimir Putin: the spy who came home with the gold
July 18th, 2018 · 7 Comments · Astrology, celebrity, Instruction
When most astrologers look at Vladimir Putin’s chart and see Venus rising in Libra opposite Jupiter in the 7th house, they say, no, that can’t be right.

Harry & Meghan: Marriage of the century or star-crossed misadventure?
June 7th, 2018 · No Comments · Astrology, celebrity, Instruction, Karma
Backstory: In July 1981, I went on a national radio talk show in Montreal to discuss the upcoming Royal wedding between Prince Charles and Diana Spencer. To the surprise of the moderator, I said their marriage would fail within seven years. The switchboard promptly lit up with agitated callers, castigating me, and astrology, and the […]

Howard Hughes: an exercise in rectification
February 1st, 2018 · No Comments · Astrology, celebrity, Instruction
Howard Hughes – man of mystery or just another case of misattributed birthday? Although Hughes’ birth time was accurately nailed down as 10:12 PM in Houston, Texas, astrologers must contend with two widely divergent birth dates for the notoriously reclusive billionaire. Astrodienst (astro.com), the go-to site for reputable birth data, provides two dates separated by […]

Hugh Hefner: Playboy of the western world
October 17th, 2017 · No Comments · Astrology, celebrity, Instruction, Karma
Author’s note: I know at first glance this might seem inappropriate, posting an article on Hugh Hefner the week after the Harvey Weinstein scandal, revealing the latter’s systemic sexual harassment and assault upon young women in the film industry. Bad timing for this article, perhaps, but good timing for Hefner to have died just three […]
