Brenda used to pick up money every night for the
club. Lenny was staying at a motel
nearby, so she’d pick him up too and drive him to work. One evening they were passing a field full of
flowers and Lenny yells, “Stop the car!”
He jumps out and starts running across the field, leaping around in the
flowers and rolling in them and yelling gibberish. Brenda thought he was insane; she didn’t
realize he was high and just wanted to roll around in some flowers like any
other junkie. Then he got back in the
car and they went to the club.

| Progressed chart for April 1951 arrested for deceptive money making scheme |
Above is the chart for the month he was
arrested for soliciting contributions to a charitable organization and
pocketing over 50% of the income.
Moon in Virgo in 9th
house of publication is a soul developing critical intellect through social
justice. No, you don't see his moon in Virgo in the above chart, we're talking now about his natal chart at the bottom of the post.
That moon in Virgo had been
lined up with Neptune, the planet of collective vision, 16 hours before
Lenny’s birth, so his soul was operating under the immediate influence of his
generation’s great dreams. While Neptune was at 24degrees Leo, those dreams concerned the worker’s
understanding of entertainment and gross (as in mundane or pertaining to the
real world) self expression.
Libra Mars in the 10th
house of career had been passed by Sun back in Virgo (September) and at his
birth the hero was one third of a sign behind the king (sun). Lotta Libra!
Mars, Sun and Mercury. Very
balanced spirit, mind and inner soldier.
Even under attack, the hero can grasp the legitimate concerns of the
attacker when Mars is in Libra, especially during the period when the big
kahuna is passing through with clerk of court handily nearby. Very civilized.
And yet….there not far ahead
in the zodiac is Saturn in Scorpio in the 11th house of reputation
and peers, an authority figure digging up the dirt and sifting for ballistic
evidence of past battles.
Finally, in the last house of
fate and dreams is Sagittarian Venus, in the early stage (2degrees) of the
zealous search for truth; this ruler of kindness and harmony is locked away in
some institution or disabled through his/her own devotion to reform.
But back to the beginning,
the first to rise in the east is Jupiter in Capricorn, taking chances with
tradition and institutions. Jupiter in Capricorn is the teenager, the prophet,
the philosopher, inside the social machine of shoulds, better nots and character
shaping consequences.
In the house of
communication, or language learned in childhood, is Uranus, the planet of
social revolution in Pisces, the sign of compassion.
Pluto, the foundling that
rose to stardom in the solar system, and then got demoted when the same strong
telescopes that detected its distant reflection began to see numerous fragments
of similarly small consequence as individuals; Pluto, named after the Greek god
of the underworld had been in Cancer since the beginning of WW1 The planet of little consequence was almost half
way through its long passage in the sign of the family and nationalism, in the
section of Cancer associated with change, the Sagittarian duad or
dodecatemoria, a romantically idealistic stage in the zodiac, a passionate nurturer
of the exile. At the moment of Lenny’s birth in Mineola, NY Pluto was about to set on the western horizon, the
area of the sky called the house of partnerships.
I am posting both his natal chart and
the chart progressed for the month he was arrested for a deceptive money making
scheme, the Brother Mathias Foundation scam.
The progressed chart at top of this post shows Jupiter exactly on his Capricorn ascendant. Jupiter the teenager/prophet is in its fall in the sign of tradition and consequences; so this chart for the month he was arrested is a good example of the mask (ascendant) of a fallen gypsy.
