The Astrology of
Astrologers
by Terri McCartney
Welcome to my first AstroDatabank research column. I intend to post a
research article once each month to whet your appetite for research and
to keep you abreast of what we’re working on using AstroDatabank’s
powerful research capacity built into version 4.
For this first column, I thought it would be fun to advance an
AstroSignature for astrologers. Aren’t you just a bit curious to
discover what is found in the charts of successful astrologers? We all
know what we’ve observed and we have ideas about what we’d expect to
find but can we really show some evidence to support our theories and
observations?
In this project, I used AstroDatabank’s new release 4.0 with its
awesome factor analysis feature to develop an AstroSignature for
Astrologers. I wanted to test the common assumption that Uranus,
Aquarius and/or the 11th house would be thematically linked to the
vocational indicators in the charts of astrologers and I wanted to use a
control group to validate my findings.
I found many of the statistically significant findings quite
intriguing. Here are just a few of the interesting things I found in the
charts of the 100 astrologers tested:
- 38% had the Sun in Scorpio, Sagittarius or Capricorn and these
placements were found in the astrologers charts twice as often as
they were found in the control group.
- Sun, Moon or Mercury was found in a fixed house for 70% of
astrologers and Venus, Mars, Jupiter or Saturn were placed in an air
house for 71%.
- Sixty-three percent of the astrologers had the ruler of the
eleventh house direct.
- None of the astrologers tested had a mutual reception between
Sun and Uranus.
- Pluto, Chiron or the North Node was placed in one of the
Gauquelin power zones in 66%.
- Uranus was found aspecting the vertex in the control group more
often than it was found aspecting the vertex in the astrologers’
horoscopes.
- Nothing was found in 100% of the astrologers’ charts.
The full article and the AstroSignature is
available. My hope is that it
will surprise, compel, intrigue and/or provoke you to do your own
investigating! Next month I’ll set forth an AstroSignature for
astrologers from the Vedic perspective. In the meantime, I’m eager to
hear from you and welcome your feedback and ideas. If you have research
projects or interests you would like to share, please be in touch! My
