Who Were The Brothers Grimm? (2015)

I wonder the same thing when I decided to look at their astrological energies, together.

The Brothers Grimm (German: die Brüder Grimm or die Gebrüder Grimm), Jacob (1785–1863) and Wilhelm (1786–1859), were German academics who together collected and published folklore. The brothers are among the best-known storytellers of folktales, popularizing stories such as “Cinderella” (“Aschenputtel“), “The Frog Prince” (“Der Froschkönig“), “Hansel and Gretel” (“Hänsel und Gretel“), “Town Musicians of Bremen” (“Die Bremer Stadtmusikanten“), “Little Red Riding Hood” (“Rotkäppchen“), “Rapunzel”, “Rumpelstiltskin” (“Rumpelstilzchen“), “Sleeping Beauty” (“Dornröschen“), and “Snow White” (“Schneewittchen“). Their first collection of folktales, Children’s and Household Tales (Kinder- und Hausmärchen), began publication in 1812.

The Brothers Grimm spent their formative years in the town of Hanau in the Landgraviate of Hesse-Kassel. Their father’s death in 1796 (when Jacob was 11 and Wilhelm was 10) caused great poverty for the family and affected the brothers many years after. Both brothers attended the University of Marburg, where they developed a curiosity about German folklore, which grew into a lifelong dedication to collecting German folktales.

Here are their combined charts:

Since they were born a little over 13 months apart, the outer planets wouldn’t have moved on very far.

Both charts are randomized, so I wouldn’t pay too much attention to Wilhelm’s Houses. In fact, their father’s death when Jacob was 11 and Wilhelm was only 10, would have placed Saturn in the 5th House for each brother. Therefore. Virgo (academics) would have been a better fit for the Ascendant. Nevertheless, Jacob’s Sun in Capricorn is conjunct Wilhelm’s Moon and that allowed them to collaborate on the research and retelling of the Fairy Tales.

Walt Disney would have had a hard time creating his animated films without their prodigious output.
