  Star Power! Astrology Unleashed

  Week of March 19-24, 2012

  March 20, 2012 / Articles, Creator Corner, Star Power!

  “Hold on to your butt!” as Sam Jackson said in JURASSIC PARK. This week we experience a huge shift in energy, made even larger by a New Moon around the Vernal Equinox and a pileup of planets (and asteroids) in Aries… a sign not known for using the brake. All this under a Mercury (and Mars) retrograde pattern, known for causing chaos. So check that accelerator now, because it just might be sticking! Actually, a stuck accelerator is not such [...]

  Star Power! Astrology Unleashed

  Week of March 12-18, 2012

  March 12, 2012 / Articles, Creator Corner, Star Power!

  Welcome to the pre-production period of the Equinox project! This is the week before the Vernal Equinox—the day in the Northern Hemisphere when Spring begins. As with many creative projects that have loose ends to resolve so things can move forward, the astrological aspects this week are all over the map. But there is a cohesive energy to the week that breeds optimism, even in the midst of possible chaos. It’s an excellent time both for redoing that second draft [...]

  Adventures of a Film Scholar

  March 9, 2012 / Adventures of a Film Scholar, Articles, Creator Corner

  I’m currently sinking in a sea of paper and ideas. Not for the next screenplay, but for my PhD. Not that I have yet started or been accepted to a PhD program… there is so much to do before we get to that stage. Depending how you look at it, I am a filmmaker who is also an academic or an academic who is also a filmmaker. Part of the reality of existing in two worlds is that you must keep developing [...]

  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 [...]

  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. But we can set the others’ birth charts for noon and look at planetary transits to determine what energies are at work come Oscar time, and this will help us discern a probable winner. 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 [...]

  Astrology Predicts the Oscars — Best Actor & Best Actress

  February 23, 2012 / Articles, Creator Corner, Star Power!

  Emotion is what the astrological atmosphere is emitting right now, and the 2012 Academy Awards will follow suit. Those who earn their accolades now are those who have moved the audience, not merely entertained them. This year’s crop of nominees do an especially good job of it. But who gets to hold the gold this year?  BEST ACTRESS It’s always a delight to see an explosive performance by a young person honored by the Academy. Here’s the astrological chart of [...]

  Astrology Predicts the Oscars – Best Supporting Actor & Best Supporting Actress

  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 [...]

  Astrology Predicts the Oscars – Oscar History & Billy Crystal

  February 16, 2012 / Articles, Creator Corner, Star Power!

  Astrology (Greek for “study of the stars”) is perhaps humanity’s most ancient method of interpreting the great cycles of life. Combining scientific observation with the intuitive art of interpretation, astrology has practical as well as spiritual applications. For many centuries, cultures around the world have used it for timing the planting of crops, knowing when to marry or set forth on journeys, even to predict an enemy’s moves. The Magi, the Wise Men who followed the Christmas star, were actually [...]

  Why Branding Yourself from the Inside Out Isn’t as Painful as it Sounds

  January 9, 2012 / Articles, Creator Corner

  Oprah’s got one, Harry Potter is one, and you need to have one.  At least that’s the prevailing wisdom in the social media-centric realm of Web 2.0.  I’m talking about your personal brand, or, as my people call it, your “schtick.” Step One:  Acceptance Your brand is the well-honed version of you, the way you market your “you-ness” to the world.  And though it’s common to feel reluctant to prune one’s deliciously rich and complicated persona down to a few [...]

  A Father’s Apology to his daughter, Scarlett

  January 5, 2012 / Articles, Creator Corner

  Hello Scarlett, I am your father. Not in a revelatory Empire Strikes Back kind of way (although I cannot wait to introduce you to Star Wars – I may even wait until you are 6 months old). It is January 5, 2012. You are 128 days old, I am thirty-eight years old and I am writing this to you, Scarlett, for the following three reasons… (1)   The Small Reason: When you get older you’ll remember me as a forty-something/fifty-something, and never [...]
