News Worthies!
(by Garth Allen, American Astrology 2/61)
It is this constant modern vitality of ancient symbolism that keeps us entranced by the subject of astrology. Those who prefer an imaginary mathematical scheme of the zodiac miss out on so much that is exciting to the imagination and stimulating to the intellect. A recent issue of this magazine carried the birthdates of the seven astronauts training for sorties into spaces. Written by a tropicalist, the article was oddly silent about "the New Age," whereas we were accustomed to reading references by this author to the novus ordo in connection with matters not nearly so apropos Aquarius as outer-space travel.
The fifth, sixth and seventh of the astronauts were introduced with the comment, "...is the first of three Piscians who make the seven for space." The three birthdates were March l, 1924; March 6, 1927; March 12, 1923 – all with natal Suns in sidereal Aquarius. Because they were all born during the 'twenties when Uranus was in the sign Pisces, attention was called to this fact, although sidereally this places Uranus in Aquarius the majority of times, a far more fitting circumstance. In fact, totaling all birth planets of the seven men, we find sidereal Aquarius two to one.

More Type Casting
(by Garth Allen, American Astrology 7/56)
Every now and then we run across an astrological item to which we can attach the word sensational without sounding like a publicity agent. One such morsel was the interesting biog on the reformer Anthony Comstock, written by Archie McFredies, entitled The Man Who Hated Sin, and published in the January 1956 issue of True Magazine. Readers who found food for thought in our interpretation of Saturn symbolism (American Astrology, Oct 1955) will remember how the motifs of Saturn center around that urn which the starry figure of Aquarius is holding. It is no surprise that Tony the Terrible, the bluenose than whom there has never been a bluer, was born on March 4, 1844, with the Sun in the constellation of the celestial "potholder." In the Tropical Zodiac, of course, Anthony Comstock is a native of Pisces, like most of the professional reformers and fanatic crusaders of history, a circumstance which would bother those who are anti-Sidereal. But in the zodiac which actually exists, Comstock was born in Aquarius at the
time of the Full Moon. So it came as a corroborative joust to our imaginations when we read in Mr. McFredies' article that: "Aside from Maggie and his work, there was just one thing that attracted Comstock – pretty vases. Sometimes he would sit for an hour after Maggie had gone to bed, admiring a piece of crockery that had caught his eye. He once told an associate that he found a certain satisfaction in following the soft curves of a vase."

Re: Aquarius symbolism (Garth Allen)
I never gave much thought to this till I just read this.
I collect vases, bowls and containers.
I will eat a box of choclates and keep the container.
I salvaged from the side of the road several shabby chic antique tin vessels.
and I have about 6 industrial size barrels in my yard that I had great ambition for making rain barrels, and compost bins.
I have more containers to holds stuff, then I have stuff that needs to be held.
