Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo, Mars is in charge of Aries and it used to be the ruler of Scorpio. Some Scorpio people have learned to track Mars’ actions to see if it is valid in their life.

Have you ever visited the Astrologers’ Memorial Webpage?  Today would be a great time to remember our teachers and writers and to appreciate what they taught us.

Early in this millennium, I started the page.  I was housebound, waiting for much needed hip replacements and needed a way to still feel connected to our field. I don’t recall how I got started on it, but it was a joy to create the pages and to remember and to honor the people who taught us so much.

The pages included as much information as I could gather—their contributions, photos, books they’d written, and memories and testimonials from astrology folks who loved them and respected their work.

Lois Rodden’s amazing collection of astrologer’s charts made it possible to include the birth information and natal charts for a great many of them. (Here’s a picture of Lois.)

Around 4:30 pm on Saturday, 23 May 2015, a taxi crashed into a guard rail on the New Jersey Turnpike near Interchange 8A in Monroe Township (coordinates 40°20’59″N   74°28’34″W).  Inside the car were John Forbes Nash Jr., the brilliant Princeton University mathematician whose life story was the subject of the film “A Beautiful Mind,” and his wife.  They did not survive the accident.  It is always instructive to look as the astrological symbolism of such dramatic events. Here is John Nash’s birth chart with Placidus Houses:

According to news reports, the crash was reported at 4:30 pm so that the deaths most likely occurred very shortly before that time.  Here is the chart for 4:30 pm for Exit 8A of the New Jersey Turnpike:

This is a striking chart.  The Libra ASC is almost exactly opposite…
