George Adamski (April 17, 1891 – April 23, 1965)

George Adamski was one of the first authors I read who purported to have been contacted by an alien from a UFO. This set him at odds with a great many people in the early 1950’s. Here’s the book:

This chart was already on my computer program, but had been timed as pm, rather than am. Therefore, my first glimpse showed Saturn on the Ascendant, but this subsequent timing shows Saturn @ 11° Virgo in a very wide 7th House (of Relationships). There are three inconjuncts.

Sun Inconjunct Midheaven

While you are young, you will find it difficult to decide what to do with your life. The demands of the world may sometimes be hard to handle, because they don’t seem to take advantage of your natural abilities and instincts. Also, much of your time will be taken up with learning routine skills that do not seem at first to have much connection with reality. But don’t try to rush your life. Even if you can’t see why you should learn a skill, try it out anyway. Later on, its purpose may become clear.

Moon Inconjunct Jupiter

This aspect indicates that you have a positive, optimistic outlook on life, and you enjoy socializing with good friends. However, there are some dangers with this aspect. First, it can be a sign that you are self-indulgent and possibly even selfish, although this is not likely to happen if you have a good, strong relationship with your mother. You have a great need to be cared for and supported, to be accepted for what you are with no strings attached. If this need is fulfilled, the positive side of this aspect will flourish. But if your mother does not support your needs fully, you will feel insecure and will look elsewhere for support and fulfillment. In this case your concern will be totally for yourself with little thought for other people’s needs.

Mars Inconjunct Uranus

You have a tendency to be rash and impulsive, which may get in your way. If matters proceed too slowly, you are likely to make a sudden move that upsets the whole situation and forces you to start over again. You must learn to be patient if you want to achieve your objectives.

This energy may also be expressed as a hot temper, especially when you have to endure restriction of limitation. You have a rebellious streak that needs to be disciplined, because everyone has to endure some restrictions, and it takes so little to trigger your temper.

His Contact with Orthon (November 20, 1952)

Is it me, or does this sound like an anagram for North? I often wonder about such things.

That Yod pointing at Mercury, formed from inconjuncts to Jupiter and Uranus, makes me think that this was all in his mind. (I know that sounds disrespectful, but the question of veracity is one that needs answering.) Only when we combine the two charts is the picture any clearer.

Adamski’s natal Midheaven is conjunct the event Sun. That’s significant, at least, to me. It defined his life and career. The other somewhat close contacts aren’t ‘exact’ so I’ll only list them: his natal Ascendant is with 6° of the event’s Mars; his natal Uranus is about 2° from the event’s Part of Fortune; his natal Mercury is about 2° from the event’s Jupiter; and, finally, his natal Neptune/Pluto/North Node conjunction in Gemini is fully inconjunct to the event’s Moon/Venus conjunction in Capricorn, while that combination is also inconjunct to his natal Moon, forming an interactive Yod, pointing at the event’s Venus. That seems a lot, to me, but may only re-emphasize the fantasy elements of the tale.

I cannot definitely rule out the truth of his experience, but I can say that he most likely believed it to be real and true. (And just to echo the earworm that I’d been listening to for the last month or so:) Adamski died in Silver Spring, Maryland.

Orfeo Angelucci, eh? Hmm.
