By coincidence, I was in Clearwater, Florida today and when I got on the plane to come home, I heard that one of the screwiest men who ever became famous passed away hours earlier in Clearwater at the age of 69. Once called "The last of the great daredevils" Evel Knievel in a moment of drunken inspiration decided he could jump across the Grand Canyon on a motorcycle. "The more I drank, the easier it looked," said the great man. Unfortunately or fortunately as the case may be, the US Department of the Interior turned down his request, and instead he tried something a bit more modest, the Snake River Canyon, and he didn't make it, but he survived.

Sun in the 8th on Spica trine Jupiter, Lord MC says a lot about death and work, and it doesn't hurt to have Venus conjunct the MC when you jump over the sky high water fountains at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, or try to.

Lord 10 in 1 brings fame to the native, and probably adds a little to the ego. Once in a restaurant he unexpectedly ran into Muhammed Ali who announced as only Ali can announce, "You are the white Muhammed Ali!" To which Knievel replied, "No sir, you are the black Evel Knievel." Not many could silence the stunned Louisville Lip. For better or for worse, Evel Knievel was an American original. He'll be missed.

RIP

This is an interesting person with a special talent and occupation.
So it should be interesting to see if it shows up in the chart. I was immediately thinking of the fixed star ALPHERATZ and not much to my surprise, it was rising at Nievel?s birth. I?ve often found that the rising star says a lot about the person.
The following is from B. Brady?s STARLIGHT software and I would like to share some of the interpretations with you.

STARS ON ANGLES AT MOMENT

Alpheratz - Rising at the Ascendant orb -05 mins 42 secs

To see oneself as independent of one's culture or society

This star is linked to freedom, love of movement, speed and the sheer joy of the wind in one's hair. In your chart, it floods the planet to which it is linked with the desire or expression of freedom to move and an ability to take action. (highlighted by me)

Other rising stars

Sadalsuud - Rising at the Ascendant orb -00 mins 02 secs
A lucky person, a person with a natural physical talent

Markab - Rising at the Ascendant orb +05 mins 16 secs
Physical and mental endurance and reliability

Mirach - Rising at the Ascendant orb +05 mins 23 secs
The dancer, the designer

PARANS BY PLANET

Sun - Health, vitality, rank and position

Rising when Spica is Rising orb 02 mins 12 secs -
A talented person, to have a gift - Arising and lying hidden

Culminating when Sualocin is Rising orb 01 mins 16 secs -
Physically talented, vital and alive

Setting when Denebola is Setting orb 00 mins 06 secs -
To be independent and to do things in one?s own way

Best regards
Ren?
