I took a few odd turns exploring an ancient Planet Waves site that has surfaced from the foggy corridors of the Internet, and wound up on the page linked below. It's an old interview with Rob Brezsny. Definitely a trip down memory lane. The article says that at the time, he was writing his column for 18 years, and I think it was published about 10 years ago (but it is undated). I am going to guess that he began Real Astrology (as it was then called) when Saturn was in Leo. I have written to him in his kitchen and asked; let's see if the Magus reveals his secret.
[He just responded YES, Saturn was in late Leo the day his first astrology column was published.]

This is a snipped URL that will take you to a page on the Archive Project, a site you do need to know about. It saves every old Web page it can find, or managed to find at the time. The links don't always work...but usually they do. However, the graphics usually don't work.

For those people unfamiliar with the subtleties or not so subtleties of American culture, after reading this article there is no doubt in my mind that Free Will Astrology is a creature of California. This is documented in history, of course. If you want to understand California, read this article; and then for the other side of the story, read a book on Richard Nixon. California is a very, very strange place. It produces the Grateful Dead and old Dick Nixon and Free Will Astrology.

I also found this, my first widely-published piece of astrology writing, Astrology as the Art of
Bullshit
(written in response to Brad Blanton of http://RadicalHonesty.com telling me that "astrology is bullshit"). However, despite this, I have endorsed Brad in his bid for Congress. More on that another time. Congress really does need a therapist. The Art of Bullshit appeared as a link on the front page of Rob's site for something like 18 months -- gutsy.
