Timothy Leary & Baba Ram Dass
Posted: Fri Dec 31, 2021 7:58 am
I recently posted the Leary and Ginsberg charts for comparison, after reading something about their meeting, but realize I've never posted here the charts for the most enduring and impactful pair in that group: Tim Leary and Richard Alpert (Baba Ram Dass).
Leary, Timothy. Oct 22, 1920, 10:45 AM EDT, Springfield, MA (AA).
Alpert, Richard. Apr 6, 1931, 10:40 AM EST, Boston, MA (B).
Though associated with each other - their names intertwined - at the beginning of their journey at Harvard, Tim and Rich emerged as starkly different poles of their message moving forward. To a great extent, they were divided along lines of Earth's cultural hemispheres, Tim being a voice of science and commercialism, Rich of mysticism and simplicity. Tim's Libra-Aquarius luminaries and Rich's Pisces-Scorpio luminaries voice this elegantly. (More subtly, one of their closest interchanges is Tim's Uranus opposite Rich's Neptune.)
These guys loved each other enormously and, I think, never lost their connection. I was present once when Rich was in town and, as the event was breaking up, Tim came up from behind and tapped him on the shoulder: They just fell into each other's arms (I'm sure they hadn't seen each other in quite some time). This connection is most evident, I think, in Rich's exact Moon-Venus square falling with Moon on Tim's Ascendant and (secondarily) both planets somewhat widely connecting to Tim's Jupiter.
Anyway, enjoy the charts.
