Star Power! Astrology Unleashed

March 8, 2012 / Articles, Creator Corner, Star Power!

Welcome to the great Cosmic Tango! Whenever we take the time to look up at the sky, we catch the planets and stars in the midst of their vast, flowing dance. Astrology is the method, developed over many centuries, by which we interpret the rhythms of the cosmos, the intricate harmony that the heavenly bodies make—with each other, and with our own little Spaceship Earth. Because the planets continually change their positions in the sky, we here on Earth experience [...]

Deadlines, Hollywood… Why Wait?

March 6, 2012 / Articles, State of the Biz

What is it about deadlines that gets the job done? To understand why they can are so motivating, I took a peek at the etymology of the word, “deadline.” Etymology, by the way, in narrative terms, is the “origin story” of words and their changing (or evolving) meaning through time. For example, “the whole nine yards” has nothing to do with football. Its derivation is thought to come from WWII, wherein gunners would “give ‘em the full nine yards” by [...]

February 27, 2012 / Articles, State of the Biz

“Read Between The Lines” Hollywood has a vernacular all its own and it’s best to learn the lingo so that you can become an eloquent practitioner. It’s what identifies you as a native to the other members of our tribe, as someone who’s in the know. Among the Town’s most popular pieces of parlance is “I don’t disagree.” But is it an affirmation worth a damn or is it just another equivocation on the road to development hell? Rather than [...]

Astrology Predicts the Oscars – Best Director

February 25, 2012 / Articles, Creator Corner, Star Power!

The 2012 Oscar race for Best Director, while loaded with talent, is a bit frustrating for an astrologer in that only two of the five nominees (Woody Allen and Martin Scorsese) have a listed birth time.

BEST DIRECTOR First, we’ll look at “Tree of Life” director, [...]

Astrology Predicts the Oscars – Best Picture

February 24, 2012 / Articles, Creator Corner, Star Power!

We have arrived at the decisive moment, where we review the nominees for Best Picture and choose one based on astrological data. We have our limitations here because, unlike being at a midnight showing or a premiere where we can check our watch, we don’t have an exact time for the actual first screenings of the films. But we do know the dates they opened, and thus we can take their basic astrological energy, as well as their storyline, and [...]

February 22, 2012 / Articles, Creator Corner, Star Power!

The world of astrology is endlessly fascinating, and we have in the Academy Awards an opportunity to see just how closely it ties in to everyday life. Those honored in the film industry often have well-placed planets or harmonious energy patterns in their birth charts associated with fame (Sun), beauty and the arts (Venus), and glamour (Neptune). Winning an Oscar would also involve Jupiter (honors) and Saturn (dignity). It is the movement of the planets—called transits—around the wheel of the [...]
