Elizabeth Ann MacGregor (Scottish-Australian art museum director)

* Elizabeth Ann (AKA Liz Ann) MacGregor is the director of the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA) in Sydney, Australia (located at Circular Quay overlooking the Sydney Opera House).

MacGregor started her career in the arts by training as an art historian at Edinburgh University before joining the Arts Council of Great Britain in 1985. In 1989 she was appointed director of the Ikon Gallery, a contemporary arts institution in Birmingham.

In 1999, she took up the directorship of the MCA, introducing free admission and subsequently doubling attendance numbers. She also oversaw the redevelopment of the MCA building, increasing its size and internationalising the scope of exhibitions.

MacGregor's chart shows enormous personal drive: both luminaries in Aries; Scorpio Ascendant ruled by Pluto in the last degree of dramatic Leo on a workaholic Virgo MC: "She is known for her determination, tenacious work ethic and colourful wardrobe."

Diana Vreeland, 1903–1989 (French-American magazine editor and fashion journalist)

* Wikipedia gives at least two different dates of birth for Diana Vreeland (29/7/1903 and 29/9/1903) and her birth certificate gives another (29/12/1903), but the certificate is dated 2 October 1903. Clearly the December date is an impossibility: the clerk made a mistake and should have written "29 September," which is the date specified in her birth notice published in The Times [London, England] on 2 October 1903.

Many thanks to Marc Brun for acquiring the birth certificate for us!

Vreeland is a fashion icon: Neptune on her Ascendant rules Jupiter in Pisces on her MC. From 1936 until her resignation in 1962, she ran a column for Harper's Bazaar called "Why Don't You?". She was editor-in-chief of Vogue magazine from 1963 until 1971. Vreeland advised First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy in matters of style and she is credited with inventing the word "pizzazz."

Neptune on the Ascendant can also bring confusion about the circumstances of a person's birth but in Vreeland's case the mystery surrounding her date of birth has now been solved!

SOURCE: Birth certificate obtained by Marc Brun, dated 2 October 1903 and mistakenly stating date of birth as 29 December. Date of birth confirmed by her birth notice found by Sy Scholfield in The Times, 2 October 1903, p. 1: "DALZIEL.--On the 29th ult., at 5 Avenue de Bois de Boulogne, Paris . . . a daughter."

Lois Lowry (American writer)

* Lois Lowry has written more than thirty children's books and an autobiography. For her contribution as a children's writer, she was a finalist in 2000 (and U.S. nominee again in 2004) for the biennial, international Hans Christian Andersen Award, the highest recognition available to creators of children's books.

Lowry is known for writing about difficult subject matters within her works for children. She has explored such complex issues as racism, terminal illness, murder, and the Holocaust among other challenging topics.

In her chart she has Mars and Pluto in a Grand Trine with her triple conjunction of Mercury-Saturn-Sun. This combination indicates success (Saturn-Sun) through writing (Mercury) about challenging (Mars) and complex (Pluto) subjects.

Justin Bieber (Canadian pop musician, actor, singer-songwriter)

* In her 2012 autobiography, Pattie Mallette states that her son, Justin Bieber, was born "around one in the morning on Tuesday, March 1, 1994, at St. Joseph's Hospital in London, Ontario, Canada." The unsourced birth time of "12.56 a.m." in Chas Newkey-Burden's 2010 Justin Bieber: The Unauthorized Biography is thus consistent with the info' provided by Mallette. Her statement also clarifies where the pop star was born. With a powerhouse combo of Pluto rising on an Ascendant in the last degree of Scorpio, Bieber is "the third-most powerful celebrity in the world."

Margaret Tudor, 1489–1541 (Queen consort of Scotland)

* Margaret Tudor's birth was recorded in the Beaufort Book of Hours, a royal family chronicle inherited by Henry VIII’s grandmother, Lady Margaret Beaufort (after whom Margaret was named). According to the Book, Margaret Tudor was born "at Westminster at night after the ninth hour a quarter."

Margaret's Ascendant was in Leo, the sign of royalty, and she had Neptune-Mars and her North Node in a Leo decan in the 5th, the royal house.

Upon her marriage to James IV, she became Queen of Scotland.


WIKIPEDIA BLURB

Margaret Tudor (28 November 1489 – 18 October 1541), born at Westminster Palace, was the elder of the two surviving daughters of Henry VII of England and Elizabeth of York, and the elder sister of Henry VIII. In 1503, she married James IV, King of Scots. James died in 1513, and their son became King James V. She married secondly Archibald Douglas, 6th Earl of Angus. Through her first and second marriages, respectively, Margaret was the grandmother of both Mary, Queen of Scots, and Mary's second husband, Lord Darnley. Margaret's marriage to James IV foreshadowed the Union of the Crowns - their great-grandson, King James VI of Scotland, the child of Mary and Darnley, became King of England and Ireland on the death of Margaret's fraternal niece, Elizabeth I of England.

Jennifer Carpenter (American actress)

* Jennifer Carpenter first attracted critical attention for her performance in The Exorcism of Emily Rose, taking home the 2006 MTV Movie Award for 'Best Frightened Performance.' Yet Carpenter is best known for her current role as the homicide detective, Debra Morgan, on the hit Showtime TV drama series Dexter, for which she won a Saturn Award in 2009.

Carpenter has killer/sleuth planet Pluto rising and ruling her scream-queen conjunction of Mercury and Uranus in Scorpio.

Carpenter's ex-husband, Michael C. Hall, plays her serial-killer brother on Dexter. His 8th-house Uranus is conjunct her Ascendant, and her Sun-Neptune is conjunct his MC-Venus (see his chart here).

Puyi, 1906–1967 (Chinese monarch)

* Puyi — the twelfth and final ruler of the Qing Dynasty and the last Emperor of China — had the North Node conjunct the MC both in royal Leo, opposed and ruled by the Sun on the South Node and IC — all in anti-royal Aquarius. The Sun was trined from the 8th house by Pluto, the ruler of his Scorpio Ascendant: PuYi was a prisoner of power, ruling in name only and ultimately powerless. Chosen by Empress Dowager Cixi (see her chart) on her deathbed, PuYi ruled as a child emperor, 1908-1912, as a nominal emperor in 1917, and as the emperor of the Japanese-controlled puppet state of Manchukuo, 1934-1945. After the People's Republic of China was established in 1949, Puyi was imprisoned as a war criminal for 10 years and wrote his memoirs.

Harry Nilsson, 1941–1994 (American singer-songwriter)

* Double Grammy Award winner, Harry Nilsson, was a uniquely talented and original singer-songwriter. In the late 1960s and early 1970s when huge concert tours and festivals abounded, Nilsson broke the mould by achieving significant commercial success while shunning live performance and producing masterfully crafted studio recordings. Paul McCartney and John Lennon described him as the Beatles' "favourite group." A gifted composer, Nilsson wrote songs for the Ronettes, the Yardbirds, the Monkees, and more, yet his own biggest hits were almost all written by other songwriters. His producer Richard Perry described him as "the finest white male singer on the planet," but toward the end of his life, Nilsson's career was marked by voice-damaging substance abuse. All these adjectives might describe the Sun in the enigmatic Aquarian decan of paradoxical Gemini — which Nilsson had on the cusp of his 3rd House and at the apex of a T-Square involving an opposition between his Ascendant ruler, Mars in Pisces, and its ruler, musically-inspired but unfortunately all too often drugged-out Neptune.


WIKIPEDIA BLURB

Harry Edward Nilsson III (June 15, 1941 – January 15, 1994) achieved the peak of his commercial success in the early 1970s. On all but his earliest recordings he is credited as Nilsson. He is known for the hit singles "Everybody's Talkin'" (1969), "Without You" (1971), and "Coconut" (1972). Nilsson also wrote the song “One” made famous by the rock band Three Dog Night. He was awarded Grammys for two of his recordings; best male contemporary vocal in 1969 for "Everybody's Talkin'", a prominent song in the Academy Award-winning movie Midnight Cowboy, and best male pop vocal in 1972 for "Without You."

SOURCE: Sy Scholfield (©) quotes Alyn Shipton, Nilsson: The Life of a Singer-Songwriter (Oxford University Press, 2013), p. 1: "Harry Edward Nilsson was born at Bushwick Hospital in Brooklyn, at 2.15 a.m. on June 15, 1941. His father, also Harry Nilsson and also Brooklyn born, was twenty-four years old, and his occupation was listed on the birth certificate as 'painter.'"

"Doc" Watson, 1923–2012 (American musician, songwriter)

* "Doc" Watson had accomplished Saturn in Libra on his Ascendant in mutual reception with musical Venus in Capricorn. He won seven Grammy awards as well as a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. Libra is an air sign associated with stringed instruments. Watson is widely acknowledged as a guitar icon, particularly for his masterly flatpicking skills, i.e. plucking his guitar with a triangle-shaped plectrum. He has a triangular Grand Water Trine involving a twangy Sun-Uranus conjunction in Pisces, Jupiter in Scorpio and its ruler Pluto in Cancer on the MC.


WIKIPEDIA BLURB

Arthel Lane "Doc" Watson (March 3, 1923 – May 29, 2012) was an American guitarist, songwriter and singer of bluegrass, folk, country, blues and gospel music. Watson's flatpicking skills and knowledge of traditional American music are highly regarded. He performed with his son Merle for over 15 years until Merle's death in 1985 in an accident on the family farm.

SOURCE: Sy Scholfield (©) quotes Kent Gustavson and Kristina Tosic, Blind But Now I See: The Biography of Music Legend Doc Watson (Blooming Twig Books, 2012): "Arthel Lane Watson was born on March 3rd, 1923, at 9 o'clock on a Tuesday evening. . . . The town nearest to Doc's family home was Deep Gap, only a few miles up the road." NB: Actually it was a Saturday. Gustavson writes that "Orthel Lane Watson" - a misspelling of his name - is written on his birth certificate, so the birth data possibly comes from this document.

Boxcar Willie, 1931–1999 (American country music singer)

* Country music legend, Boxcar Willie, sold more than 100 million recordings, profiting from his unaspected and tight triple-conjunction of Neptune, Venus and the Sun. Born Lecil Travis Martin, he took his nickname from a boxcar, the North American term for an enclosed railroad freight car typically with a square end. Fittingly, Boxcar Willie had a distinctive Grand Square or "box" pattern in his chart, plus "iron horse" planet Jupiter unaspected in the Sagittarius decan and duad of Leo. Not to mention the Uranus-Moon conjunction in the Sagittarius decan of Aries forming the handle of his Bucket shape. A strong Jupiter and a prominence of Sagittarius can indicate the potential for country music stardom.

WIKIPEDIA BLURB

Boxcar Willie, born as Lecil Travis Martin (September 1, 1931 – April 12, 1999), was an American country music singer, who sang in the "old-time hobo" music style, complete with dirty face, overalls, and a floppy hat. "Boxcar Willie" was originally a character in a ballad he wrote, but he later adopted it as his own stage name.

John A. Alonzo, 1934-2001 (American cinematographer)

* John A. Alonzo — the pioneering cinematographer — had trailblazing Mars square cinematic Neptune. With Pluto exactly conjunct his Descendant and ruling his Scorpio MC, he is probably best known for his acclaimed camera work on two American classics: the part mystery and part psychological drama film, Chinatown (1974), and the gangster mob movie, Scarface (1983), yet his extraordinary list of films includes Harold & Maude, Vanishing Point, Sounder, Norma Rae, Farewell, My Lovely, Blue Thunder, Internal Affairs and many others.


WIKIPEDIA BLURB

John Alonzo, A.S.C. (June 12, 1934 in Dallas, Texas – March 13, 2001) pioneered hand held work, lighting techniques and HD development during his career. He has an impressive list of films, but will probably be remembered mainly for Chinatown (1974) and Scarface (1983).

Alonzo was not only the Director of Photography for some of the greatest American films of the ‘70s and ‘80s, but also the first American cinematographer of Mexican American and Latino heritage to become a member of the Cinematographer’s Union in Los Angeles, as well as the first to be inducted into the famed American Society of Cinematographers (A.S.C.).

John Jacob Niles, 1892-1980 (American balladeer)

* John Jacob Niles - called the "Dean of American Balladeers" - often accompanied himself on an Appalachian dulcimer, lute, or other plucked stringed instrument. He had both luminaries in vocalist Taurus in the airy 3rd House, ruled by plucky Venus in Gemini. "I Wonder As I Wander" is the title of one of his signature songs and of his biography. In his chart, Jupiter-the-wanderer (ruler of his Sagittarius MC) was unaspected except for a sextile to Neptune-the-wonderer which rules his Pisces Ascendant.


WIKIPEDIA BLURB

John Jacob Niles (April 28, 1892 — March 1, 1980) was an American composer, singer, and collector of traditional ballads. Niles was an important influence on the American folk music revival of the 1950s and 1960s, with Joan Baez, Burl Ives, and Peter, Paul and Mary, among others, recording his songs.
