Collin Rodney Biography

British pro astrologer, occultist and author. A follower of Gurdjieff and Ouspensky, he wrote the "Theory of Celestial Influence" and the "Theory of Eternal Life." After a bookish childhood, he spent the rest of his life as a natural scholar, self-taught in an eclectic manner. In 1934 he married Janet, a wealthy woman eight years older than himself. An idealist, he was dedicated to pacifist principles, and in 1936 he enthusiastically gave his attention to the "Work." Living in London, he and Janet became active members of Ouspenskys group. He became virtually Ouspenskys adopted son and thought of himself as the spiritual heir apparent. A charming man, he made friends easily, but Collin appeared passive and easily influenced. When Ouspensky berated him, once even slapping his face, Collin accepted this as a sort of Zen lesson. When Ouspensky died on 10/02/1947, Collin locked himself in his teachers now empty bedroom for six days (allegedly without food or drink), finally emerging with his own sense of the miraculous. Leaving England, he and Janet moved to a hacienda on the outskirts of Mexico City where he set to work on his Planetarium of Tetecala (stone house of God). He also founded a publishing house and bookstore in Mexico City, an esoteric center known throughout South America. In 1954, Collin dissolved the community at Tetecala and published his major work, "The Theory of Celestial Influence," a complicated astrological treatise dealing with planetary cycles. Traveling with his own Mexican spirit medium, he moved gradually more into spiritualism and esoteric Catholicism. Though he was in poor health, in May 1956, Collin traveled to Lima to visit a metaphysical group. In Lima, he came across a crippled beggar boy. He offered to wash and dress the boy, and then, to give his life in exchange for the boys healing. He climbed the bell tower of the Cuzco Cathedral where the homeless boy was living and while there, he either had vertigo or a vision and he lunged from the parapet, 5/03/1956, 3:15 PM. Falling to the ground, Collin landed with his arms outstretched like Christ on the cross with a smile on his face. He was buried in Cuzco. Link to Wikipedia biography

Ascendant Represents AS

The Ascendant (Lagna) in Vedic astrology represents the self, physical body, personality, and how we interact with the world. It defines our core identity, health, and the first impression we make on others. The sign rising on the eastern horizon at the moment of birth becomes the Ascendant, influencing our temperament and approach to life. Its ruler significantly shapes how we express ourselves and respond to our environment.

Collin Rodney birth chart analysis for Ascendant

In Vedic astrology, the natal lagna (ascendant) represents the self, personality, and how one presents themselves to the world. When the natal lagna is in Gemini, the individual is likely to be curious, communicative, and adaptable. Gemini, ruled by Mercury, is an air sign associated with intellect, social interaction, and versatility. These individuals are often quick-witted, enjoy learning, and can excel in areas that require mental acuity and communication skills. The influence of Punarvasu nakshatra within Gemini further refines these traits. Punarvasu is ruled by Jupiter and is associated with renewal, creativity, and a sense of optimism. Individuals with their lagna in Punarvasu tend to be nurturing, philosophical, and have a strong inclination towards teaching or sharing knowledge. They often possess an innate ability to bounce back from challenges and are drawn to pursuits that bring them personal growth and fulfillment. When the lagna lord Mercury is placed in the 11th house in Aries and in Bharani nakshatra, it introduces additional dynamics. The 11th house is the house of gains, friendships, aspirations, and social networks. Mercury here suggests a strong ability to network and communicate within groups, potentially leading to success through social interactions and collaborations. It indicates that gains and achievements may come through intellectual pursuits and effective communication. Aries infuses Mercury with energy, assertiveness, and a pioneering spirit. This placement suggests a person who is innovative and may take bold steps in their social or professional circles. Bharani nakshatra, ruled by Venus, adds themes of creativity, transformation, and a deep understanding of life's cycles. It can indicate a person who is determined and capable of managing resources effectively, often showing a strong commitment to their goals. Overall, these placements suggest a dynamic, communicative, and innovative individual who thrives in social environments, values friendships, and is capable of achieving their aspirations through intellectual and creative endeavors. The combination of Gemini's versatility, Punarvasu's optimism, and the assertive energy of Mercury in Aries in the 11th house creates a person who is well-equipped to navigate both personal and professional landscapes successfully.
