\"astrology<\/a>Thanks to my friends at Astrococktail<\/a> for the link to this interesting article <\/a>about writer Henry Miller. Miller was the author of several books that were shocking for their times (the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn were written in the 1930s and banned for many years. \u00a0When I was in\u00a0high school in the mid-1960s they were published in the US for the first time. \u00a0Miller is also famed for his relationship with fellow writer Anais Nin who is best known for her works of erotica. \u00a0His marriage to his second wife June was immortalized in the indie film\u00a0Henry and June<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

According to the article, Miller was approached by noted astrologer Sidney Omarr in the 1960s when Miller was living in California. \u00a0Omarr wrote a study of the connection between astrology and Miller\u2019s writings called \u201cHenry Miller: His World of Urania<\/a>\u201d but Omarr also acted as Miller\u2019s personal astrologer for many years as well as a personal friend according to letters<\/a> he wrote to one of his wives.<\/p>\n

The Greek goddess Urania, \u201cQueen of the Heavens,\u201d\u00a0is known as the muse of astronomy, but in Greek times astrology and astronomy were one science. \u00a0Uranus, the innovator and radical scientist, is also connected to astrology, and most astrologers and those interested in astrologer (including you, dear readers!) have a strong Uranian component in their chart.<\/p>\n

Henry Miller is no exception. \u00a0His astrological chart<\/a>\u00a0shows a conjunction of Uranus to the Moon and Mars, all in the seventh house. \u00a0It forms a harmonious sextile to his Sun\/Mercury conjunction (brilliant mind) which sits on the Midheaven of the chart (vocation). \u00a0It forms a square to Venus, explaining his unconventional (Uranus) approach to relationships and marriage (Venus) and trines Jupiter, expanding that unconventionality into something that becomes a foundational framework for his life.<\/p>\n

In his forward to Omarr\u2019s book, Miller wrote:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat interests me primarily in astrology is its holistic aspect. The man who is whole sees whole, and for him the universe is an ever expanding universe, that is, a universe more infinite to be part of \u2026 Only astrology can reveal this potential reality which is man\u2019s kingdom \u2014 or the garden of fulfillment.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well said!<\/p>\n
