Mercury – Neptune and The “Hard Problem” of Sibly

An astrological chart for the United States was proposed by the astrologer, Ebenezer Sibly back in 1787. Over time, research of this chart has revealed numerous issues. Not only does the historical record not support the time within this chart, but even a recalculation of the chart does not support Sibly’s work either. In other …

Super Human: Generational Archetypes in the 1st House

Our natal charts provide insight into our passions. Our abilities. Talents. But it also shows something else: How the collective archetypal energies of humanity itself are hardwired and embedded into a personality. In other words, we’re referring to power of the outer planets. The dynamics that define entire generations. “In retrospect, the discoveries of Uranus, …

Born to Play the Role: Chris Pratt/Star-Lord

Chris Pratt is our final example in this series and a great illustration of actors who found fame and stardom through roles that closely mirror the dynamics of their charts.  Similar to Bryan Cranston, Pratt also played various minor roles (i.e. Parks and Recreation, etc) before landing the role of Peter Quill, aka Star Lord. …

Are People Really into Astrology?

In 2009, the Pew Research Center conducted a survey on faiths and beliefs and discovered that roughly 1/4th of the surveyed population “believed” in astrology, specifically, “that the position of the stars/planets can affect people’s lives.”  Considering astrology’s historic reputation, this is an interesting statistic and if the sampling error is accurate, can be extrapolated …
