Timothy Leary (October 22, 1920 – May 31, 1996)

I was watching a video biography of the Moody Blues, and was prompted to write this post by the lyrics to “Legend of a Mind”.

Timothy Leary’s dead.

No, no, no, no: he’s outside looking in

All the inconjuncts of this birth chart are time sensitive. Because this chart was already on my computer, I’m going to take it as read that it’s correct for the timing of Timothy Leary‘s birth.

Moon Conjunct Uranus

You are likely to be an emotionally impulsive person. Feelings sweep over you very quickly, and you may act in hasty, rash ways that you regret later. But you are a free spirit and cannot stand to be confined or restricted. You like life to be exciting, and you may be tempted to stir up action and even trouble if your life seems to dull. Other people may not love you for this, but you will attract those who like to be around an exciting personality who always does everything differently.

Moon Inconjunct Midheaven

Work very hard to develop an objective awareness of what you are doing and where you are going. You will need this understanding to guide your emotions, which might otherwise lead you astray and make it difficult for you to focus on your goals. Learn to see others’ points of view, even if you cannot accept them. Learn to make logical decisions, and do not let passing moods color your attitudes about yourself and your life too much.

Uranus Inconjunct Midheaven

If your movements are restricted and you have few opportunities to experience yourself directly, you will become more resentful of authority and finally disregard whatever you are told, regardless of its merit. Later in life this attitude could make it extremely hard for you to hold down a job, because you will respond to bosses in the same way that you respond now to your parents and other grown-ups.

Pluto Inconjunct Ascendant

This can be an indication that through experiences with others, you will be forced to undergo many significant changes in life. At times the crises may be quite unpleasant, but for the most part the results will be very positive, although for some people, they may be less constructive. But you must be very careful about the kind of people you get involved with. Choose your friends with great care and try to find people who have a healthy outlook on life and who seem reasonably well balanced.

Also watch for compulsiveness or extreme behavior [in] yourself. These qualities could be quite hard for others to handle, and people will probably avoid you if you express them freely.

Amen.
