SEPTEMBER CHARTS: SUCCESS & FAILURE

THE EPITOME OF FAILURE - THE EDSEL

The Edsel, the car that became synonymous with complete and abject failure, was first introduced to the public on September 4, 1957.

The car was filled with high tech gadgets and built by the reputable Ford Motor Company.

There was a media blitz that included magazine ads and the sponsorship of a TV show starring the likes of Frank Sinatra to guarantee its success.

Yet, it failed dismally and was withdrawn from production within 2 years.

The geocentric chart appears to have all of the elements for success. The Sun is aligned with charismatic Chiron. Neptune is parallel Chiron which is another Cinderella aspect that represents something lasting. Neptune and Chiron are contraparallel Juno which are other signs of popularity. The worst aspect is Saturn opposing Juno which might represent some disappointments, but it is not the focus of the chart.

The lasting quality of the Neptune Chiron connection however translated into lasting failure.

Why did the Edsel become the alternate term for total failure during the last half of the 20th century?

The answer my friend isn’t blowing in the wind.

The answer lies in the heliocentric chart.

There it can be seen that the Earth and Moon are in an applying square to Saturn. This is one of the worst aspects to have in the chart of any new enterprise or launch date.

Another date when the Earth/Moon was square Saturn was the date that President George W. Bush declared war on Iraq.

STAR TREK - THE TV SERIES

A Failure transformed into Long Term Success

Star Trek, the TV series of the 60’s, became a cult phenomenon after it was cancelled due to low ratings. The famous TV show starring William Shatner just celebrated its 50th Anniversary.

The first episode aired on September 8, 1966. It was almost cancelled after the 2nd season but renewed for one more year.

Thanks to reruns and syndication the Star Trek series welcomed an entirely new set of viewers in the 70’s. Thus were born the “Trekkies.” The TV show spawned numerous spinoffs such as “Star Trek: The New Generation “and many movies, including one called “Star Trek: Discovery” that will be released by CBS in January 2017.

The geo chart has Sun || Uranus which is absolutely great for a show that was highly original and featured high tech futuristic gadgets—many of which have actually come into being in the last 50 years.

The TV show debut chart also has a Cinderella alignment of Jupiter trine Chiron, but Saturn is conjunct Chiron.

The tragic Saturn and Chiron conjunction may explain why it was cancelled.

Look at the helio chart: The Saturn Chiron conjunction is also present in this chart. Yet Neptune is trine that same Chiron.

It is very similar to the planetary picture of the geo chart in that there is a Cinderella in the chart connected to the disastrous Saturn Chiron conjunction.

Most importantly the Earth Moon is trine Jupiter, one of the best aspects to have in the chart of a new enterprise.

Over time “Star Trek” has become a major brand name and has actually grown in popularity.

The show was cancelled but the concept and the characters lived on. The spirit of the show, as represented by the Earth/Moon, lived on to become successful (Jupiter).

Originally publlshed in 2017.
