Oh My Stars

Last time I talked about the birth chart of Colo, the first gorilla born in captivity (CLICK HERE if you missed it). There are number of interesting features there that reflect the circumstances of Colo’s life. But: if astrology claims to be able to predict major life events (and you’d think “death” would count as…

Colo, the first gorilla born in captivity, has died at the ripe old age (for a gorilla) of 60. She was born December 22, 1956 at around 6 AM at the zoo in Columbus, Ohio.* Colo’s birth chart shows us a grab-bag of astrological bits and pieces that perfectly describe various things about her. I’m…

Once again, the time approaches when many of us make predictions, and are equally annoyed by the results whether we’re right or wrong: The Academy Awards. This year’s ceremony begins at 5:30 PM on February 26th this year, in Los Angeles. What’s really interesting is that the ceremony starts a few hours after a Solar…

LAST TIME (click here if you didn’t see it): I took a look at the “birth chart” (or rather, the chart of the first publication date) for everyone’s favorite example of how childhood trauma plus relentless dedication plus huge wealth can lead to masked vigilantism — Batman. I focused mostly on the character’s personality. This…

Personality-based astrology drives me a little nuts. Yes, it’s a large part of the appeal of astrology, but like any stereotyping, it has its limits. Aquariuses really do tend to be a little odd, and Scorpios do seem to have a talent for brooding over things, but insisting that these are absolute standards not only…

“Sing, O muse, of the rage of Achilles, son of Peleus, that brought countless ills upon the Achaeans.” -Homer, The Iliad On Friday, there was a shooting at the airport in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Five were killed and at least six others were injured. An American citizen and military veteran (Esteban Santiago, born March 16…

There are a lot of business books out there telling you how to develop your leadership skills and how to help your underlings work more efficiently as a team. Sure, that’s great, but most people will admit that there also seems to be such a thing as a “born leader”: someone who walked into this…

How was your New Year’s Eve? Whatever your answer, it was probably better than what Mariah Carey had. Mariah, performing live on “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” (and being broadcast around the world, had some issues arise. There was a problem with the playback for the track of one song, and then another song…

(Hey, you like horoscopes, don’t you? Sure you do! CLICK HERE to read your January horoscope!) Here’s the most important astrological forecast of the month. Really? Yes! Why? Knowing when the Moon Void of Course is happening is probably the handiest of all the common astrological techniques. Learn it, make it work for you, and…

Why have so many celebrities died in 2016? David Bowie. Alan Rickman. Glenn Frey. Harper Lee. Gary Shandling. George Kennedy. George Martin. Keith Emerson. Patty Duke. Ronnie Corbett. Merle Haggard. Joanie Laurer. I suppose one could argue that “celebrities” are an ill-defined group, and that without any statistical modelling we can only assume it’s all…
