" I was once in the presence of George Harrison at a lecture at Alternatives, St James, Piccadilly by Deepak Chopra who was discussing Quantum Physics. George definitely had the aura of a 'ghost', other worldly and very serious." Pam Carruthers
To give you a flavour of the quality if this Report, here is a small excerpt from George Harrison's Star Report describing his Midheaven.
The Midheaven is aligned with starset Praesepe
OC (Open Cluster) Praesepe is M44 Cancri, a nebulous cluster in the shell of Cancer, the Crab; it is also called Little Cloud, Little Mist, Manger and Crib, but most famously "The Beehive." In ancient Orphic and Platonic doctrine, the stars of Cancer, the Crab formed the "Gate of Mankind" where souls entered Earth's dimension as they took on human form at birth.
In Indo-Aryan and Moslem teachings, bees symbolized souls because they migrate in swarms (it was thought that souls "swarmed" from divine unity like bees); in ancient China, this area was called the "ghosts" or "spirits," thus both eastern and western traditions relate souls and spirits to this place in the sky!
Praesepe is accompanied in these celestial longitudes by North Asellus, Gamma Cancri and South Asellus, Delta Cancri (both in the Crab's shell, near the Beehive), Sarir Banat al Na'ash, Theta Ursa Majoris in Ursa Major, the Greater Bear's right front leg, Sigma Puppis in the Stern of Argo Navis, the Great Ship of the far-southern skies, as well as Open Cluster M48 and C Hydrae, both in the area of the poisonous breath of Hydra, the Water Snake.
In the ancient lunar mansions of China, Praesepe (M44), North Asellus and South Asellus were determinant stars of Kuei, The Spirits or Carriage of Ghosts (also called T'ien-Soung, Celestial Punisher), presiding over sickness, death, extermination, battlefields, horses, soldiers, war materiel and buried treasures hoarded in wartime, thus accumulated wealth, including jewels. M44 was also Tsi-Chi, Piled-Up Corpses, Tsi-Chi-K'i, Exhalation of Piled-up Corpses (souls leaving bodies) and "Eye of the Sky," (anciently, the eyes of China's Great Red Bird were here, governing watchfulness over wicked people); another name was Fou-Tchi, The Cutlass used for slaughtering sacrificial animals.
In ancient India, the same stars were determinants of Pushya, 'Nourishment,' 'Nourishing,' also called Sidhya, "Lucky," "Successful;" symbolized by a cow's udder, ruled by Brhaspati, priest of the Gods, with his qualities of nourishment, plumpness, blossoming, good fortune, as well as prayer, speech and wisdom. In the lunar mansions of Arabia, they were part of al Nathrah; Nose, Gap or Crib, the upper lip of a huge, extended Arab lion; the Aselli (North and South Ascellus) were his nostrils, Praesepe his uvula
Here energies of the wild, untamed Bear and the Crab's Beehive Cluster combine with a seething, fiercely focused intensity: you are a natural leader, single-minded, obsessive, fanatic, and willing to take risks. Aggressive, conquering, enterprising and dictatorial, you have the potential to be an industrialist and/or head of your own business. Water, the element common to the Ship, Crab, and Hydra, makes you a vast emotional holding pond, containing and expressing reservoirs of talent, ferment and energy.
Strongly Neptunian (in both the positive and negative sense, that is, imaginative, high-minded and spiritual, but also delusive or illusion-prone) with an interest in psychic phenomena and alternate realities, you are at the same time analytical and attentive to detail.
The Crab was the ancient Orphic/Platonic "Gate of Souls' Incarnation:" astrologers, who analyze the date and time that souls incarnate, are found here.
Creative, inventive, taken with the myths and glories of the past; you are drawn to mysticism, and may become an author, poet and skilled wordsmith.
At your best you are hard-working, feverishly energetic (many sports champions have placements here), pioneering, productive and idealistic, with an inner sense of power and potential; at your worst, brutal, blatantly prejudiced, critical of others and at the same time smugly self-justifying.
Examples of the Midheaven here include
George VI, King of England, forced to take over when his brother, Edward VIII, abdicated (severe stutter; died at 56 of lung cancer),
Edmund Hillary, apiarist (beekeeper) (Praesepe is "The Beehive!), explorer, mountaineer (with Tenzing Norgay, 1st to reach summit of Everest),
Amos Bronson Alcott, 19th-century self-educated transcendental philosopher, visionary, reformer, abolitionist and pro-feminist educator whose school failed (1835) after he took in a black student and the other students left,
Deane Montgomery, mathematician,
John Backe, broadcasting and publishing executive, UNESCO delegate,
Lilith Mageborn, astrologer (deaf from birth),
Faith Baldwin, author,
Judith Blegen, soprano,
Tyrone Power, Janis Paige, John Barrymore Jr, Charlotte Rae, Dean Stockwell, actors,
A J Foyt, car racer, five-time winner of Indy 500 ("hot-tempered, edgy, but tough, cool-headed in races"),
David Berkowitz, army sharpshooter, "Son of Sam" murderer |
