Interpretive Reports
Here
are some sample interpretations from Astrolabe’s
Professional Natal Report.
There
are few or no planets in Earth signs: With
a marked lack of planets in Taurus, Virgo or Capricorn, you may find it
difficult to handle the practical, everyday details of living with any
degree of grace. Practical knowledge is not one of your higher priorities,
and you may not particularly like doing things that require hands-on
manipulation. You tend to be either unconnected with the day-to-day
reality of your life or to make plans that reality dictates cannot come to
fruition. Because you dread taking on everyday responsibilities, you may
do things that others judge to be childish or irresponsible
There
is an unusual number of planets in Aries: You
are the quintessential free spirit and the ultimate pioneer. Extremely
willful, you must be first at all costs — even at the cost of others’
approval or feelings. If you do not moderate this tendency, you may find
yourself alone. Nevertheless, your enthusiasm and zest for life are
infectious. Others will probably let you have your own way as long as you
don’t go overboard. You teem with new ventures that you’d like to
begin, and may have to discipline yourself
to finish them.
Mercury
square Uranus: Your
quick, agile mind usually has no problem steering a correct path through
the mountains of new and exciting information that you deal with as a
normal part of your routine. But every now and then you try to do things
too quickly, and foul-ups begin to occur, much to your embarrassment.
Things seem to get scattered, and you become more and more nervous and
frenzied. Learn to slow down just a bit. Your speed of comprehension far
surpasses that of almost anyone else, so why worry about going into
hyperdrive?
Moon
trine Neptune: Known for your sensitivity, you have the ability to
communicate your rich inner visions to others. At times, however, you tend
to get so caught up in these fantasies and dreams that it's difficult for
you to function in the mundane, drab everyday world. You are not
aggressive by nature and would rather retreat into the world of your
imagination where things are eternally noble and beautiful. You are at
your best when motivated by your sympathy for those in need and are at
your most functional when assisting those in pain or suffering. Beware of
a tendency toward deviousness — caused by your attempts to protect your
cherished illusions from the demands of reality.

Nash received the Nobel Prize on Dec 10, 1994. Here’s what was going
on in his chart according to Cosmic
Patterns' Destiny and Decisions:
Transiting Jupiter Trine the Natal Midheaven: This transit
brings increased optimism and self-confidence. You feel capable of doing
much more than ever before and are willing to make the effort. It often
signifies professional success, and usually involves leadership. You may
gain financially, and, if so, are likely to use it to get further ahead.
If in business for yourself, you may want to expand under this transit.
Transiting Mars Trine Natal Jupiter: This aspect indicates much
activity. Energies are high, you feel good, and you believe that you can
do twice as much work as usual. This is considered a "lucky"
aspect, but most luck is the product of proper planning and right effort.
During this aspect, you will be able to see the whole picture clearly, so
your planning and your activities will be more effectively directed. It is
a favorable time for most business activities, even for taking some risks.
Avoid self-aggrandizement and work on increased consciousness and
self-knowledge.

Biography
American mathematician and Nobel Prize winner 1994. In his
acceptance speech, Nash said, “Statistically, it would seem improbable
that any mathematician or scientist, at the age of 66, would be able
through continued research efforts, to add much to his or her previous
achievements. However I am still making the effort and it is conceivable
that with the gap period of about 25 years of partially deluded thinking
providing a sort of vacation, my situation may be atypical. Thus, I have
hopes of being able to achieve something of value through my current
studies or with any new ideas that come in the future.” Nash himself
associated his madness with living on an "ultra logical" plane,
"breathing air too rare" for most mortals, and if being
"cured" meant he could no longer do any original work at that
level then, Nash argued, a remission might not be worthwhile in the end.
Johnny Nash, as he was called by his family, was a solitary and
introverted little boy though his parents were loving and attentive. He
was named for his dad, who was an electrical engineer and schoolteacher, a
veteran of WW I. When Johnny was two years old, his sister Martha was born
(11/16/1930). The household had books available, including an encyclopedia
which interested the boy more interested than playing with other kids. His
mom encouraged his studies but his teachers labeled him as “backwards”
due to his lack of social skills. By the time he was about 12, he was
showing more interest in his science experiments at home than in his
boring school work. His math interest began at about 14 and by high
school, he noted that he “succeeded in proving the classic Fermat
theorem about an integer multiplied by itself p times where p is a prime.”
He was also doing electrical and chemistry experiments.
He entered Carnegie Tech in Pittsburgh with a major of chemical
engineering, shifting to chemistry and then to math. Nash received a BA
and an MA in mathematics in 1948. His graduate studies, beginning in
September 1948, were in Princeton, where he became interested in game
theory studies, which had been stimulated by the work of von Neumann and
Morgenstern. In 1949, while studying for his doctorate, he wrote a paper
which 45 years later was to win a Nobel Prize for economics. In 1950 Nash
received his doctorate from Princeton with a thesis entitled
Non-cooperative Games. He was on the math faculty at M.I.T. from 1951
until he resigned in the spring of 1959, interspaced with assignments in
the private sector.
During his time at M.I.T., Nash began to have personal problems with
his life, added to his customary social indifference. He met Eleanor Stier
and they had a son, John David Stier, born on 6/19/1953. Eleanor wanted to
get married but Nash refused to consider it. In the summer of 1954, while
working for RAND, he was arrested in a police operation to trap
homosexuals. He was dismissed from RAND.
One of Nash's students at M.I.T., Alicia Larde, became friendly with
him and by the summer of 1955 they were seeing each other regularly. In
1956 Nash's parents found out about his affair with Eleanor and his son.
Nash's father died soon after and Nash may have blamed himself for
contributing a shock to his family.
In February of 1957 Nash married Alicia; by the autumn of 1958 she was
pregnant and, a couple of months later, near the end of 1958 or early
1959, Nash's mental state became very disturbed. At the threshold of his
career, he was struck by paranoid schizophrenia. He lost his job at M.I.T.
in 1959 (after being tenured there at the age of 29!) and spent 50 days
under observation at the McLean Hospital.
Norbert Wiener was one of the first to recognize that Nash's extreme
eccentricities and personality problems were actually symptoms of a
medical disorder. Long sad years followed by periods of hospital
treatment, temporary recovery, then further treatment. He was virtually
incapacitated by the disease for the next two decades or so. Alicia
eventually divorced Nash, although she continued to try to help him, and
after a period of extreme mental torture he appeared to become lost to the
world, removed from ordinary society, although he spent much of his time
in the Mathematics Department at Princeton. He roamed about Europe and
America; finally, returning to Princeton where he became a sad, ghostly
character on the campus - "the Phantom of Fine Hall" as Rebecca
Goldstein described him in her novel, Mind-Body Problem
During interludes of enforced rationality, he worked productively. In
the late ‘60s, he returned to the dream-like delusional thinking but of
relatively moderate behavior and thus tended to avoid hospitalization and
the direct attention of psychiatrists. He gradually began to
intellectually reject irrational thought as essentially a hopeless waste
of intellectual effort. He finally renounced (!!) his delusional
hypotheses and gradually returned to mathematical research in the early
1970s. He wrote, “However this is not entirely a matter of joy as if
someone returned from physical disability to good physical health. One
aspect of this is that rationality of thought imposes a limit on a
person's concept of his relation to the cosmos. For example, a
non-Zoroastrian could think of Zarathustra as simply a madman who led
millions of naive followers to adopt a cult of ritual fire worship. But
without his "madness," Zarathustra would necessarily have been
only another of the millions or billions of human individuals who have
lived and then been forgotten.
John Nash's story was dramatized in the movie "A Beautiful
Mind," directed by Ron Howard and starring Russell Crowe (born
04/07/1964), nominated for the best film of 2001. Neither the film nor his
biographical website mention his periods of homosexual relationships,
notably in his 20's. The biography by Sylvia Nasar is less romanticized,
portraying him as an anti-Semite, a poor father and a violent man. Nasar
refers to his mind as beautiful, not the man.
Nash continues to hear his voices on occasion but for the most part is
able to ignore them. He is doing research again and savoring such simple
pleasures as being able to afford his own support and providing for his
family. He and Alicia, who remained loyal for so many years, remarried in
June 2001.Their son carries his dad's affliction of schizophrenia.
