Birth charts of famous authors - not what I expected!
Last week I talked about the astrology birth chart for Mary Shelley. It started me thinking about the other female authors we talked about in our most recent podcast episode, so I looked up their charts too (most of them) to see if there was some things in common. I'll tell you, I expected to see Gemini, the sign of communication. But the rest of what I saw surprised me a fair bit. It makes sense now that I think about it, but it wasn't what I expected. So I looked at the Sun sign and its house placement, the Moon sign, the Ascendant, the Mercury placement, the ruler of the 3rd house, the North Node placement, and the Midheaven. And you know I love a spreadsheet (Mercury in Cap!) so here we go...
