I remember when David Icke was just a local sports presenter on TV at teatime. I don’t know if his fame has spread to Europe, the States or the Far East, but now in the UK his name is synonymous with Aquarian turquoise, defiant New Age teaching, healing on the footie field, and a scandal over the non-PC implications of karma for the ‘differently abled’. Ah me!
What happened? Well, he got to be born on the right day at the right place. Please note I said ‘day’ not time. And now you are thinking, “but not everyone born on April 29th 1952 was heading for the limelight, let alone appearing in the tabloids as a famous loony!” No - but the potential was heightened on that day and specifically around the 52°38' north latitude of Leicester, because the Moon, strong in Cancer, nearly square an Aries Mercury and less than 2°from Uranus, almost perfectly opposed Chiron at her culmination, at the same moment as Saturn came onto the Ascendant. This is a day and a place with a passion for unorthodox teaching - and no sense of humour!
These coincident angularities first caught my eye way back in the 1980s; my name for them was the “Associate Angles”. Later the older term “Paranatellonta” was brought to my attention and its shortening to “Parans”. When key planets occupy angles simultaneously at a given latitude their combined energies freely express in the outer world through individuals and through events. To be famous, you have to express yourself not only distinctively but so as to grab the world’s attention; to be famous for more than 15 minutes, the planets that find themselves on angles together in your home town on your day must be less fleeting than the Moon; to be really, really famous you also need these powerful Parans in your natal chart, and for the highest public profile your nativity should be graced with a Paran of the Sun and Moon.
And here is the quandary - where are they??? All of us have looked up a favourite celebrity expecting to find the glamour and pizzazz of Sun with Jupiter and/or the outer planets illumining Meridian or Horizon, and been sorely disappointed. Let me show you where they are. They are hiding!... but not very far away.

The Interdimensional Angle
David Icke was actually born with the current Venus-Jupiter conjunction setting. But that gift of grace alone is not enough. That maverick missionary lunar Grand Cross needs outlet along angles - and here it is: at 19h15 BST the tropical Moon/Uranus-Chiron sits perfectly on his Sidereal MC-IC, and his Sidereal Aries Sun picks up the cross through a conjunction to tropical Mercury. Every public interview has been a verbal battle! ... Because the Sidereal takes us out into the public realm and forges the Personality that is often all that the viewer, the fan, the client or the subordinate gets to see. Without an angular Sun or Moon, there can be no personal celebrity. (And this is surely one reason why throughout history great leaders and teachers have typically had their births recorded as at noon, midnight, sunrise or sunset. Interestingly and appropriately, when the moment of precise conjunction between the Moon’s true Node and the Spring Equinox in 5BC revealed the nativity of Jesus, he too was born under a Sun setting with Jupiter in coelo.) Twice on David Icke’s birthday when the Sun - opposed to Mars - was rising and at the IC, the Moon/Uranus-Chiron was angular, first on the IC, and then setting. Twice again, when the Sun met the Midheaven and the Descendant, Pluto and the South Node rose, and then culminated. David’s Sidereal ASC at 0°Libra linked with the essential 0°Libra position of the Draconic South Node. He threw himself with abandon into his extraordinary mission and has hardly looked back. Now we see what is going on, does it hold true for other popular gurus, and the famous in other walks of life? Another David - David Koresh - was born on 17th August 1959, the day Sun squared Jupiter, and drew that great planet close to the IC and ASC at Houston at sunrise and noon. Opposite the Sun was Chiron the maverick messiah again, and the fateful Moon’s nodes lay along his birth horizon. Again 0°Libra rises! This time tropical. And humourless Saturn angular again, this time weighing down the radix IC at 8h49 am. Draconically we find another echo of Icke: Uranus is right on his Moon, while the Moon conjoins Mercury. As Koresh’s Draconic Sun contradicts his tropical from Aquarius, he was spiritually driven to beat a different drum; but what will be seared into public memory is the Sidereal Moon conjunct Mercury and Venus/Mars on his Leo Sun - the grainy videos of the self-appointed preacher, the naive, doomed families he seduced, and the terrible, promised fire that engulfed them all before our eyes. A Place in the Sun Of our most respected - indeed loved - church leaders Desmond Tutu is of particular interest. I have no birth time for him, but again the parans are striking. Not only does transforming, empowering Pluto exactly set at Klerksdorp, SA as the Sun culminates on October 7th 1931, but his setting Sun in its cardinal Grand Cross with SaturnMC mirrors the Aries Sun/Cancer Saturn square at the sunset lunar eclipse of Christ’s crucifixion on April 3rd 33 AD. Here is just one example to show that not only do the parans invite fame, but these solar charts also disclose the sphere in which that fame may be found. If for instance you look at Nelson Mandela’s SunMC chart (born July 18th 1918, Umtata, South Africa), although this has no parans, its ruling Mars is in the 12th house - and his fame began with that long imprisonment on Robben island for militant conspiracy against the apartheid regime. Mandela, with Sun setting as that Mars rode the Midheaven, continued to fight from a position of power for his country and the welfare of his neighbour. And at sunrise that July day the Moon in battling Scorpio was right on the IC, his homeland. Here is a Sun-Moon paran, the classic signature of fame. The 14th Dalai Lama, also an exile, has non-violently endured invasion and attack by open enemies on his country and culture, and shares with the South African leader a Sun/Mars paran - this time from the Cancer IC to Libran Descendant. The historic Sidereal is perhaps even more expressive, as the Ascendant of this midnight chart has spiritual Pisces rising, and the Sun becomes Gemini, the loved speaker and writer now so familiar to the world. Malalah Yusafzai, born on 12 July 1997 is another remarkable (old?) soul with Sun and Moon simultaneously angular in two of her charts, noon and sunrise. She was born in the town of Mingaora in the Swat District of Pakistan's northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. Still in her teens as I write this, she is famous for her education and women's rights activism in the Swat Valley, standing up to the Taliban who are doing everything they can to prevent girls from attending school. Her 2009 BBC blog led to a New York Times documentary film about her life and a wave of global publicity. Desmond Tutu nominated her for the International Children's Peace Prize. On 9 October 2012, Malala was shot in the head by Taliban gunmen on a bus home from school, but astonishingly survived. The Taliban are still determined to kill both her and her inspirational father. 2013 has been a big year for her, appearing on the April 29th cover of Time magazine, winning Pakistan's first National Youth Peace Prize and now nominated for the 2013 Nobel Peace Prize. On 12 July she spoke at the UN to call for worldwide access to education, and in September 2013 officially opened the Library of Birmingham. In October she was the subject of a BBC Panorama special. Both charts bring into prominence the difficult T-square of Sun-Saturn-Chiron and place her Moon/Mars conjunction on an angle. She will fight on, in the face of grim opposition, with courage and tenacity. her Cancer Sun, like the Dalai Lama's, becomes Gemini in the Sidereal, and she is a formidable, influential speaker. You can see how important this is in adding the Dwad to the Sidereal radix of Malala's noon chart; the Dragon is lined up with the angular Sun, and in the Dwad the Moon joins the Sun on the MC. Pray for her. Jesus has been mentioned, and I can't leave this first section without showing you the beauty of his charts and those of his mother, Mary. The story of how Draconic astrology found the Nativity of Jesus is told elsewhere (and the whole account plus much more is in the 2013 edition of The Draconic Chart.) He was born at sunset on May 7th 5BC; and at first glance the chances of a Sun/Moon Paran seem slim. However, here it is - in the form of the New Moon itself just separating from the previous day in the Sun IC chart. Jupiter is of course almost precisely conjunct the Sun, while Neptune is in orbs of the Midheaven; and here too we find Dwad Pluto with the Ascendant. This is very satisfactory, as Jesus fame both through history and in his own time rests on his extraordinary spiritual charisma as incarnate divinity. When we put the Sun on the MC of Jesus' chart a far harsher picture emerges. I have placed the Dwad at the centre here to highlight the pattern. In the Dwad gentle Pisces 'rises' at noon - and opposite is that day's Dwad conjunction of Mars and Saturn aligned with radix Uranus and Pluto. In the radix noon chart Mercury sets in Aquarius. Here, graphically, is the Teacher of crowds aware of the constant threat from both religious and secular authorities and his ultimate shocking fate, yet intent on his loving mission to enlighten and convert a complacent world from the grass-roots upwards. The Sun on the Descendant has - as we would hope and expect! - less impact than the actual Nativity chart, which is shown here with the Dwad again at the centre, radix on the outside. At Jesus' exact time of birth the Sun triples in strength, for it is not only setting with Jupiter but this radix conjunction shines on the Dwad Ascendant, while in the Dwad is a further conjunction of Sun with IC. Three angular positions of the Sun. That is glory indeed! Back in 1992 when the Nativity first emerged from my copy of DOS Blue*Star and a slow monochrome printer I had no idea how much this Scorpio-rising chart contained to be discovered over the following decades. I must stress that I have never altered the time, never adjusted it at all. It is as I first found it ... He is, in His radix, just as I first saw Him - this gentle, brilliant, loving man bringing God in his own person into a messy and challenging world, with unmatched courage and exquisite humour. The nativity of Mary, mother of Jesus, was also found through the Draconic ... and some ingenious help from Upstairs. The account of this is also in The Draconic Chart. Mary was also born at New Moon, so again the 'Paran' is in fact the Sun/Moon conjunction - not only at the IC at the start of the day, August 4th 24 BC, but the Ascendant at sunrise. Her Leo Sun moves in the Dwad to mid-Scorpio, close to her Son's Ascendant and opposite his Taurus Sun, where we find Mary's Dwad Venus. That Dwad Sun-Venus graces every one of Mary's Solar, and Lunar, charts. In her case, I did have to adjust her birth time by just a few minutes, as it had not been precisely shown, only indicated. Once the chart was set for 12h33 LMT at Nazareth all her subsidiary patterns fell into place. This is the nativity shown here; the New Moon has opened out by mid-day, but now the Leo Moon (the woman clothed with the Sun) is aligned with Jupiter/IC in the Dwad. Her Leo Sun/Pluto is also close to this Dwad IC, and her Dwad Scorpio Sun/Mercury-Taurus Venus holds the radix Ascendant. All the sweetness and profound love of Mary is in this pattern, and also the suffering she had to endure through this uniquely extraordinary birth, the family's flight from persecution, and her Son's inevitable agony. Of all the other charts two stand out in particular. Firstly, the Sun Descendant chart, symbolising Mary in relationship to her Son, displays all the inherent drama and difficulty in the Dwad cluster of Saturn, Pluto and Uranus around its MC while her identity as World Mother is pinpointed by radix Ceres exactly on the Dwad Ascendant. Secondly you can see here Mary's Moon Ascendant chart. In the case of any woman, her lunar charts over the course of the day are just as expressive and important as her solar charts, and this Moonrise of Mary's is very powerful. This is the pattern which gives her three angular Suns: the Sun rises with the Moon, this conjunction meets the Dwad MC, and the Dwad Sun is at the radix IC. In the dwad, the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars and Jupiter are all on radix angles; the Dwad Jupiter-Mars lies on the Dwad MC-IC. These are charts of the most famous and most loved woman in the world. You can see from all the foregoing how angular placements of the Lights in paran with key planets vividly outline the circumstances that have written these lives into history. We must now leave the rarefied air of Bethlehem and return to the secular world of creative, influential and sometimes brutally destructive human life. O Lucky Man! Saturn in paran or interdimensional alignment with the Sun means that with fame comes responsibility. However, in secular life, to really enjoy the fruits of your celebrity it helps to find Jupiter here! Lucky old Lloyd-Webber: Sir Andrew’s birthday on March 22nd 1948 had that Great Benefic on the MC at sunrise; and then at 4pm, Moonrise in Westminster, he was born with starry tropical-draconic alignments of Aries Sun on MC and Venus, and Leo Moon/ASC with Neptune. (Data to me from his Mum.) How’s that for creative enterprise? The culmination of his Sun puts its ruler and the related ASC-ruler the Moon together in the 2nd house in Leo. Getting on with what he came to do and selling the public a banquet for the senses has made Andrew Lloyd-Webber very, very rich. You won’t be surprised, then, to find that another prosperous entertainer has similar patterns - Bob Geldof (behind whom I have queued in Tesco’s occasionally) was always destined for public performance with a Sagittarius Moon rising as the Libra Sun found the MC. (‘Ole Blue-Eyes’, Frank Sinatra, has the same paran with Sag. Sun and Pisces Moon) Aries Jupiter fell close to the IC at the same time. This rules the chart; and Bob has become as known for the dramas in his private life as for his career. However, opposite Jupiter is Saturn, near the Sun in the 9th house. How can this man, in his time of success, ignore the plight of the world’s poor? Especially when we add the draconic Sun MC chart which brings compassionate Tropical Neptune onto the draconic Sun, and tropical Chiron, the healer, the rescuer, to the draconic Moon? His birth chart for 14h20 BST in Dublin on October 5th 1951 fulfils his insistent, spiritually-driven and life-changing vision by placing the draconic Saturn-Jupiter axis firmly on his natal tropical meridian with the Scorpio Sun close by and that generous, mobile late Sagittarius Moon with Chiron still close to his Ascendant. “Feed the World”, indeed! And then there’s the King - Elvis Presley. The culmination of his Sun on January 8th 1935 in Tupelo, Missouri, coincided with Uranus rising in Aries to bring an amazing new energy into popular culture. His reputation was hugely enhanced by his refusing to dodge the draft and letting the ruling 6th-house Mars take him into the armed services. It is the exuberant, smouldering, public Presley whose voice and image have left their trace in every corner of the globe; so it is the Sidereal chart that holds centre stage at 04h35 CST, with a Sagittarian (‘the Pelvis’) Sun, Scorpio Ascendant conjoined by tropical Jupiter (‘the Pelvis’ again) and his sensitive tropical Pisces Moon angular to the Sidereal IC. Elvis’ home and mementos have become a shrine; legions of fans still make their pilgrimage to Graceland. Other favourite folk with Sun/Jupiter parans are Ringo Starr, Sean Connery, Prince William (at birth!), Charlie Chaplin, Dolly Parton, Marilyn Monroe, Michael Schumacher and Ayrton Senna (a double paran), Michael Palin, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Peter Sellers. Diana Ross has Moon/Jupiter. So has the spiritual teacher Jiddu Krishnamurti. Many of the foregoing also enjoy the heightened publicity of Sun/Moon on associate angles, and four excellent examples are shown here. First, Prince William's nativity with its setting New Moon opposite idealistic Neptune and the Great Benefic on his MC. Then Charlie Chaplin's sunrise Full Moon, again with successful Jupiter on the MC, and maverick Chiron opposite. Marilyn has two fame charts, but her sunrise pattern is not quite as powerful as this SunIC chart with the rising Moon now so close to Jupiter and Ceres setting with Neptune - both glamorising her, and maybe also indicating the lasting legacy of her unstable mother. Schuey's chart is very telling - his high-profile noon chart has Mars setting; what else, for the Formula One seven times World champion? In some of the above cases it has almost been rags to riches ... but the reverse for poor Mozart, whose Jupiter enriched his IC as the Sun set, bringing wealthy patronage that often evaporated under the rising Neptune and Saturn near the Sun. He continued to ‘take dictation from angels’ until his soul left his death-bed. Born To Reign If you are a ruler, then the profile absolutely has to be high. The birth chart will usually begin to point this out - witness Queen Elizabeth II’s ASC-ruler natally on her Midheaven - but that strong Sun can go unaccountably missing until we explore elsewhere. Ah, here is the true Queen!... as her Taurus Sun crowns the London meridian, the Leo Moon rises with Ceres, here as mother of the nation - and of course the Leo Ascendant-ruler is that crowning Sun. At sunrise on April 21st 1926 (joined by Chiron, with much to endure) Pluto is right at the IC. People with Pluto/Sun parans have a lot of clout! (But see later...) Then at sunset when Elizabeth’s Moon is on the MC it is part of a strong angular alignment with Neptune, Mars and Jupiter, reinforcing her wealth, charisma and power. These may compensate for the dominant theme in her nativity at 02h40 BST: the Moon’s South Node rises, and she can never call her life her own. A Scorpio Saturn/MC, aligned from the dominant public Sidereal chart with her Taurus Sun, places the heaviest of burdens on her shoulders; and with her Draconic Sun in Capricorn conjunct the Sun of her country, she is so spiritually identified with her destiny that she can never lay it down. Just before we move on, it is worth mentioning one of Princess Diana’s patterns - she also has Sun/Pluto/ Chiron parans at sunrise. I have no space here for the chart, but do take a look for yourself. No wonder the power struggle within the royal family brought such suffering and tragedy. Not quite a queen, but the nearest the USA gets to royalty, was Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy, later Jackie Onassis. Like the Queen, she was born with the South Node rising, set for a karmic life. True to form, Sun and Moon coincide on angles - the wifely Moon is enthroned on the Midheaven as the Sun her husband rises - conjunct Mercury, describing the Gemini JFK. As this Sun is in Leo, the ASC-ruler is on the Ascendant, and thus totally identified with her leading man she finds fame through high-profile marriage (twice!) The culminating Aries Moon is, however, assailed by Pluto and Mars, and grieving Ceres midpoints the Moon-Pluto square; she had to endure and then survive the horror of her husband's assasination at her side in the Dallas motorcade. As we have come to expect, across the zodiacs her birth Sun at 14h30 EDT on July 28th 1929 in Southampton, NY was doubly on angles: the Leo Sun conjunct her sidereal MC/Neptune, and the sidereal Cancer Sun on her Draconic MC/Neptune. Add to this the sidereal Moon in Aries on her draconic 7th and you have a very glamorous First Lady. Her rival for the heart of shipping magnate Aristotle Socrates Onassis was the celebrated diva Maria Callas (born December 2nd 1923 in New York at 7h07 am.) Hers was an extraordinary gift - and just like the King of a totally different music, she was born with a Sun-Uranus paran, on IC and Descendant. Her legendary status is seen everywhere in her charts - Sun MC as Neptune sets, Moon MC as Sun and Jupiter embrace the Ascendant, Moon Ascending with Mercury - her voice - at the IC, Moon setting as Venus crowns her sky. Her physical and vocal beauty are her glory not only in this last pattern but also its fulfilment at the time of her birth - sidereal Venus graces her tropical Ascendant, and tropical Venus her draconic 7th. But just like Jackie, when her Moon culminates, the ruler of the ASC and Sun (Jupiter) conjoins them, throwing all her deepest identity eggs into one basket. With Aries Chiron on her passionate draconic Moon, she never was free of the pain of losing Onassis to Jackie; she had invested herself in him too deeply, and died alone, clinging to her memories.Callas' great and enduring fame was guaranteed from the outset in the tropical dwad chart: she is another soul born with a threefold angular Sun and also Moon, as the lights oppose each other twice between radix and dwad, and align with both radix Ascendant and MC plus the dwad Ascendant-Descendant. This is probably a good point at which to pause and reflect that these 'fame' charts will of course apply to many people born on the same days as our celebrities, at places whose geographical coordinates make these parans possible. It would make a most interesting study to see how they manifest in lives that began with very different natal distributions of lights, planets and angles in the combination of dwad chart with radix. Rarely out of the limelight and still high-profile several years since his US presidency is William Jefferson Clinton. We have two birth times for him on August 19th 1946 in Hope, Arkansas, the accepted one giving a Libra Ascendant, the other favouring Leo. The latter has been in my file for more years than I can remember, and pre-dates the propagation of the former, so I very much favour the Leo ASC chart of 03h44 CST because we acquired it before his political protection measures were in place. And it behaves itself! - the Sidereal Sun (still Leo) aligns tightly with the Ascendant at the same time as the Sidereal Moon in Aries conjoins the MC, right opposite angular Jupiter. This of course fulfils the promise of his sunrise chart with its culminating Moon; and this dominant political animal with his idealistic social agenda and desire to broker peace shines brightly under the MC Sun - Mars, ruling its Ascendant, with Neptune in Libra in the 11th. At the same time, the Moon sets in Taurus, and here with him enthroned is Hillary! His replacement in the White House, George ‘Dubbya’ Bush (on July 6th 1946 just 44 days older than Bill Clinton) shares with his predecessor an early Leo Ascendant and Jupiter at the IC. And here’s another 11th-house ASC-ruler of the SunMC chart! This is fulfilled by his Draconic Aries Sun which conjoins the Tropical MC, and this time it’s the Sidereal Ascendant that meets the Tropical Cancer Sun. These combined energies make this man not a peace-broker but a patriot and a fighter - especially when you add the blustering and impetuous line-up of draconic Mars with tropical Uranus and sidereal Sun in Gemini (we watched the progress of the tropical Pluto transit opposite this trio with trepidation as he propelled the post-911 world into his War on Terror.) You can see in the differences between their patterns Clinton’s left-wing and Bush’s right-wing bias. The tri-wheel also points irrefutably to Bush's famous habit of putting his foot in his mouth! ... rising sidereal Mercury/Pluto conjunct tropical Sun and the draconic Neptune says it all. The Dark Side The dark side of fame is notoriety. You will find little sign of Jupiter here; the parans of the paranoid and the vicious are heavier going. These are people burdened with Saturn’s gravity, Pluto’s inexorable destructiveness, Chiron’s pain, Mars’ adrenalin, Uranus’ unpredictability or Neptune’s delusions with no defence except attack. Irresponsible, unregenerate, cowardly, manipulative and deceptive, this powerful negativity is turned away from themselves (and any foreseeable hope of redemption) and onto their victims, who bear similar cosmic scars. Gianni Versace is one such renowned victim - at his sundown, with the fateful South Node nearby, the Sun ruled the very cusp of death - the IC, the ‘end of life’ - and conjoining this IC was Pluto. Powerful in life; helpless in death. His murderer, the serial killer Andrew Cunanan, has Neptune rising as the Sun culminates, and Mars (in 18° Sagittarius, in the identical degree to Versace’s Mars!) on the MC as the Virgo Sun sets. Faced with his ‘open enemy’, this man will not hesitate to attack - especially considering the state of that Mars when it rises on Cunanan’s birthday, August 31st 1969; it coincides with Uranus/MC opposite Chiron/IC. Somehow he finds relief in the surprise inflicting of pain - but how can it last? He repeats it again and again until that pain comes home where it belongs. And finally it leads to his undoing; Mars at the IC brings to the Ascendant the punishing conjunction of Pluto with the Dragon's Tail. Jeffrey Dahmer, born May 21st 1960, consumed his victims. You could call this an act of transformation. This potential is found in the presence of Pluto in Virgo opposite a setting Chiron as the Sun came to the Midheaven in 0°Gemini. That Sun rules the 12th in this Solar chart, appropriately enough for acts that for years remained a disgusting secret. I don't have space for his nativity here, but its tropical dwad/radix biwheel with angularities of Pluto and Mars, and its psychopathic lack of empathy, emphasises the callous and violent self-indulgence of a warped, manipulative soul. Jim Jones, the instigator of the horrific massacre at Jonestown was born on May 13th 1931, a day when, as the Aries (sidereally Pisces - a gullible public) Moon met the MC, Pluto was rising as Saturn set ... trine his Sun/Chiron conjunction in Taurus (but sidereal Aries!) It goes to show, trines don’t necessarily make you a good person! Now that Ceres is officially a planet (albeit a dwarf) she is in all my charts. Here she falls at the IC opposite the Moon, yet another indicator of the collective bereavement and grief this man would inflict on the world ... through a poisoned drink, symbolised by the same four bodies in paran. The obnoxious Ted Bundy was another serial predator. His Sun, culminating on November 24th 1946, brought with it Saturn and Pluto conjunct the Descendant in Leo. This charming, erudite Sagittarian was a sidereal Scorpion. The Ascendant ruler of this solar chart in either zodiac was Saturn on the 7th, and Bundy’s career was obsessively to seduce, rape (with Mars on his draconic 7th), beat and despatch unaccompanied and unwary women - the rising Ceres in Aquarius and Moon/Mars in the Sagittarius Dragon's Tail. We may possibly deduce from this that Saturn represents blunt trauma, and Mars sharp objects and fire-power. This should show up in the next example ... Lee Harvey Oswald, born on October 18th 1939 allegedly to assassinate President John F.Kennedy, had Sun opposite Saturn by 4°. When the Sun was on the meridian, the Capricorn Moon was rising in his birthplace New Orleans; at the IC, Pluto was exactly rising; setting, Moon on the MC and Chiron at the IC by 4°. This chap wasn’t going to get the sort of publicity or final curtain most people hanker for. But I have to say that - in these solar charts - strong enough clues that he actually pulled that trigger are not immediately apparent ... I wonder, was he a patsy after all? We need to look at the interaction of the natal radix charts; and the two that sing to us are the tropical with the draconic. Straight away we find the draconic Sun in impressionable Pisces on Oswald's tropical MC at the same time as draconic Mars meets the tropical Ascendant. And it is Moonset, with Neptune and draconic Saturn at the tropical IC. Here is a man with a short fuse who is needy and socially inept all at the same time, and so can be twisted round other people's fingers, easily misled. Even if he did fire the rifle that killed JFK, he may have been a tool of others who had persuaded him this was the patriotic thing to do. Because Lee was born with asteroid America conjunct his Sun. On his Descendant is the man who murdered him - Ruby. Everywhere are the names that point at least to his involvement, in whatever capacity: rising, asteroid Johnen with draconic Kennedy; on the draconic Descendant tropical Jacqueline with Dallas opposite, and sidereal Kennedy is on Lee's Descendant. Dwad Kennedy is on his Midheaven near draconic Lee, and dwad Jacqueline on his IC close to draconic Marina - his wife. But also strongly placed are some words in the asteroid lexicon that may suggest who was pulling the strings in the background, and may support at least one of the many conspiracy theories that have been going the rounds since 1963: rising we find Sicilia, setting Roman, and on the draconic Descendant Italia. Roma is opposite Mars. KarlMarx is found on Lee's draconic Ascendant - but of course we know he spent time in Russia and was a communist by belief. Definitely thought-provoking. But asteroids are just a load of whirling gravel, aren't they? To Summarise: (1) Days when strong parans appear at any given latitude involving Sun and Moon, and/or Sun or Moon and other significant planets, offer to their offspring the possibility, even the promise of fame. (2) For that promise to be fulfilled, identical, similar or at least supportive alignments must be found in the birth chart itself between any pair of the Tropical, Draconic and Sidereal zodiacs. The examination of nativities in the light of both conditions (1) and (2) can yield surprising and provocative insights. You may also find out how to be famous. |

ADDENDUM -
Bill Clinton's Data Source
ANOTHER CLINTON EXPOSE?
by Rowena Wall
When Bill Clinton offered for election in 1992, I asked my Mother, a retired accountant who
lives in Arkansas, to see if she could find the birth data on him. A few days later she called me
with the information.
I quizzed her about how she found the in formation so quickly. It seems she had a friend in the
local library and she called there first, to try to find the information. Her friend located a copy
of a book which was actually a biography of Clinton. At that time, Clinton had been governor
for 12 years, and this was one of those "vanity" type publications.
A short time later, Mother went to the library to see the book. Inside was a copy of Clinton's
birth certificate. The time thereon was 3:44 A.M. Mother was particularly interested in the
birth certificate, because there had been some question about Clinton's parentage among
Arkansans.
Subsequently, I called several astrologers and publications and gave out the time. Shortly
thereafter, the time of 8:00 A.M. came out and also 7:30 A.M. Then Lois Rodden acquired
the time of 8:51 A.M., the one most commonly used.
A number of astrologers have called all over Arkansas for Clinton's birth certificate and never
found it. When my Mother asked her friend about the book some months later when others
began questioning the time, the friend told her the book was no longer in the library.
Unfortunately, all Mother remembered about the book was that it was a biography of Clinton.
Lois Rodden, however, has said that she puts credence in the 3:44 time since she has never
seen proof of the 8:51 time - only given as word of mouth from Clinton's mother, who is the
one that also gave out the 7:30 and 8:00 times. Clearly, the family wanted to mislead about the
time.
Many sidereal astrologers have found the 3:44 A.M. time to work very well. I have found it to
work quite well also. I have never worked on rectifying it - and it should be tinkered with. But
even then, the chart works very, very well.
Try using the angles at critical times in his life. Then look for some significant activity this
May and June. The 3:44 AM time pretty well depicts a rough time coming up. Check out the
chart for your self and see if you don't agree!
