Disclaimer: I’m keeping this first post brief. Don’t expect greatness yet. I’m figuring out the tone and we’re just getting started. This is a space for me to nerd out in a sporadic way and keep it moving.
Yes, I know that’s not James Dean in the photo. We’re keeping the images here royalty-free at the moment. This young man will have to do for now. On to the show.
Recently, I have delved into the fascinating realm of astro*carto*graphy under the guidance of teachers who had the privilege of working closely with Jim Lewis, the figure most closely associated with its development in the world. Astro*carto*graphy is described pretty well here, so I won’t regurgitate its meaning. Tldr; when you live near or visit a certain line from your astro*carto*graphy map (based on your astrological birth chart), the energies represented by that planet are emphasized in your life in a concrete way.
As an avid explorer of the enigmatic nature of death, I found myself drawn to investigate the deaths of notable public figures and their potential alignment with the lines on the astro*carto*graphy map associated with mortality. Among these figures, the iconic actor James Dean, renowned for his unforgettable portrayal in “Rebel Without a Cause,” stood out as an intriguing subject.
James Dean was not only a star during his lifetime but became an enduring legend after his untimely demise. In fact, he holds the distinction of being the first person to receive a posthumous Academy Award nomination, a testament to his profound impact on the world of cinema. What particularly fascinated me about Dean’s astro*carto*graphy map was the convergence of his Sun Rising line and the Hygeia Anticulminating line, intersecting at approximately 35° North latitude and 120° West longitude.
The Sun Rising line signifies locations where we radiate our artistic expression, theater, and performances, drawing attention with our captivating charisma and irresistible zest. It may also carry a hint of arrogance while magnetizing devoted followers to our magnetic aura. On the other hand, the Hygeia Anticulminating line represents a sacred space for inner purification, holistic healing, and the potential resolution of familial experiences — a cathartic clearing of the air, perhaps involving a father figure. James and his father had a strained relationship prior to his passing, due to James’ decision to study Drama and pursue an acting career. However, Winston Dean (James’ father) became the heir of James’ estate after his death.
Notably, the aforementioned coordinates find their place in Cholame, California, the very location of Dean’s infamous and tragic car accident. It was after this poignant event that Dean’s star soared even higher, capturing the hearts and imaginations of countless admirers.
In a compelling twist of fate, the astro*carto*graphy map of James Dean’s place of death reveals the lines that bestowed him with a sense of immortality. Rather than the expected presence of lines like Pluto or Admetos, which symbolize transformative or fatalistic energies, we are drawn to the lines that seem to have infused Dean’s life with enduring significance and influence.
These lines, rather than foreshadowing his tragic demise, imbued him with a timeless legacy that continues to captivate us to this day. It’s truly remarkable that the astro*carto*graphy lines intersected with such precision, almost down to the exact degree. The fact that James Dean’s lines crossed so closely adds a thrilling element to the story. It serves as a reminder of the profound interplay between the celestial and the earthly, leaving us in awe of the mysteries that lie beyond our understanding. James Dean’s immortal legacy continues to shine, reminding us of the enduring power of his spirit and the cosmic forces that forever connect us.
