Frances Moore Lappe

AstroDatabank Newsmaker: Frances Moore Lappé

Frances Moore Lappé is perhaps one of the most influential women alive in the US today. Her work inspired millions to make more conscious food choices, which for many, means a vegetarian life style. As she has continued to write and lecture, we've seen a spate of other books about conscious eating. Slow food movements, organic foods, ideas for eating seasonally, and local farming initiatives are gaining popularity. Lappé's earliest works, written over thirty years ago, have proven to be prescient. As fuel prices have increased, today's newspapers echo her message about the dire consequences of raising crops for heavy industrial profit and especially for ethanol. Obesity and concomitant health problems are on the rise in richer countries and starving people elsewhere are suffering, dying, or rioting in the streets. This week, let's study her chart for astrological clues to her and her movement.

What Do You Think?

  1. What factors in her chart might indicate that conscious eating and farming would capture her attention and propel her to write her seminal book which proved to be so prescient and influential?
  2. What in the chart indicates her message that each person can make a difference? Where is the emphasis on courage and on hope?
  3. Since she was born in the wee hours of the morning, we would expect to find the Sun, Mercury and Venus in the bottom half of the chart. But note that everything else is in the top or Southern hemisphere. What influence does this planetary distribution have on her and her motivation?

June 2008 Esoteric Technology's Solar Writer Report 2 for 1 Sale

For the month of June only, Esoteric Technology is offering their excellent report writers at the incredibly low price of TWO programs for the price of one ($225.00 USD). The Solar Fire compatible report writing software offered by Esoteric Technologies can calculate and print a chart without any assistance from Solar Fire, but if you have Solar Fire, you will be happy to know that all these report writers use the Solar Fire file format and they will be integrated into your Solar Fire software (Gold or Deluxe). That means you don't have to re-key in the birth data to produce a report on someone that you have already entered into Solar Fire - it's just another click to produce more reports for the same person.

Solar Writer reports (from Esoteric Technologies) can be sold over the Internet and this might be a consideration you will take into account when choosing a Solar Fire compatible report writer.

Albert Hofmann

Previous Newsmaker: Albert Hofmann

Take a look at what our readers had to say about Albert Hofmann's chart:

  1. In a New York Times column of January 7, 2006, Craig Smith quoted Albert Hoffman: "It's very, very dangerous to lose contact with living nature." Smith added "He [Hofmann] said any natural scientist who was not a mystic was not a real natural scientist." Where in Hoffmann's chart do you see this connection with nature, the acceptance of the spiritual or mystical dimension to human consciousness?
  2. Where is the scientific orientation and discipline shown in the chart?
  3. Hofmann's work with plants contributed to the development of medical and psychiatric treatments. Where is his legacy shown? Is it better reflected by his Midheaven or by his 10th house cusp in the Equal House System?
