John Winthrop the Younger (February 12, 1606 – April 6, 1676)

This individual came to my attention via one of Justin Sledge’s YouTube videos on the ESOTERICA channel. Here it is in its entirety.

What caught my attention? He brought some of Dr. John Dee‘s books to America. A-ha, I said to myself.

This is a randomized timing. But, even so, the energies contained in this birth chart remind me of my own birth chart. There is one inconjunct.

At certain times in your life, when there are great changes taking place within you and in your environment, you will have to work very hard to make your affairs turn out right. There is nothing to be done at those times except do the work that must be done. Fortunately you have plenty of energy and enough endurance to pull through anything that you will encounter in life. You are basically tough and persistent. These changes are an integral part of your growth, and even if everything seems to go wrong they are necessary to your full development.

So, am I justified to compare Winthrop Jr’s chart with my own? I think so.

Jupiter conjunct? That’ll do nicely. I won’t belabour the point, but even though my life as Pierre Esprit Radisson overlaps this one in Time, we know that this probably accounts for my connection to John Dee, as well.
