I've been a professional astrologer for a bunch o' years (though not as long as I've been singing), and one of my major interests is research into various populations and how they map out astrologically. I'm interested in setting up a study-- purely for fun and my own 'satiable curiosity-- to see if the traditional associations of planetary influences show up in musician's charts. I'm looking for correlates to particular astrological influences related to:

Style of music played Instrument played Singer Song (or tune) writer Professional Non-Professional Long-time musician New to music (Useful to know the age you were when you started doing what you do, but not necessary) Prefer to play in a group Prefer to play alone motivation for playing music (optional!)

What I need from you in order to do a birthchart is date, time and place of birth. I do not want or need to know your name (though you might want to choose one to go with the chart) or any other identifying information. I suggest that you send me any info in a personal message, not via this thread. There are hundreds of possible astrological factors that can show up in a chart that could be related to musical talent and I will be looking at those for commonalities. As a professional (since 1980-- the previous 10 years I did it just for fun) I am committed to confidentiality.

Also I'm prepared to mail you hard copy of the chart itself-- though I wouldn't have time to read them all for everyone. And I'll share the results (ie 80% of guitar players had Neptune in the 10th house of career) with the forum.

If you need to know more about what I do I have a website.

Thanks for your time.
