Astrological Research Findings

It was recently reported that Trump averaged 18 non-true statements a day in 2018. It would be very hard to find a public figure who lied more. Trump is washing us with a giant tsunami of lies. What, then, makes him such a prolific liar?   Trump's natal chart is shown below. Note the aspects of Mercury, Neptune and Eris.                                                  I have come to believe that aspects with the dwarf planet Eris show which energies will manifest most in people's lives. Eris is in the energetic and active Fire sign of Aries. In Donald Trump's chart Eris is touching his Neptune and Mercury, as 1 degree opposition and 2 degree square respectively. Trump's Mercury is square his Neptune, which probably indicates that his thinking is foggy at best, and deceptive at worst. Truth and lies are one and the same to him. He does not se...

The actor Tom Cruise is well known as a practicing Scientologist. While many people, including celebrities, have left Scientology, Cruise remains a staunch defender. L. Ron Hubbard was the charismatic founder of the Church of Scientology and the system of psychotherapy called Dianetics. Can Astrology shed light on why Scientology resonates so strongly with Cruise? The birth charts of Cruise and Hubbard are shown below. Cruise and Hubbard charts both show Grand Trines in Water signs. Both have very prominent Neptune, with Cruise's as a tip of a T-square and with Hubbard's in aspects with 6 planets as well as with AC and MC. Hubbard has Sun conjunct Neptune in Pisces, while Cruise has Jupiter in Pisces as part of the Grand Trine containing Neptune and Sun. Both men have Uranus in aspect to Mars, meaning they can step outside the box. In Cruise's chart Uranus is conjunct Venus and both are squaring Mars as well as Neptune. In Hubbard's chart Uranus is in ...

Performances by Arthur Rubinstein of Chopin's piano works are legendary and perhaps unequaled. Rubinstein never succumbs to the trite or obvious, but gives Chopin's music structure and depth which many performers miss. What is  behind such understanding of Chopin's music? Seventy seven years separate the births of Chopin and Rubinstein. They lived in different worlds, yet they resonate with each other. One would expect psychological similarities between them. Astrologically, their similarities become obvious. Birth charts of each are shown below. What is first apparent in these charts is the strong presence of Aquarius and Pisces energies. Both men show the dominance of Air and Water signs. Eris is in Pisces in Rubinstein's chart while his Saturn is in the emotional sign of Cancer, both giving his performances sensitivity as well as disciplined structure. Conversely, Eris is in the mental sign of Aquarius in Chopin's chart. The Fire of Aries is pres...
