Aries: Samuel Delany's Astrology

Aries Season came in swinging with eclipses and a Mercury retrograde but science fiction writer and literary/social critic Samuel Delany is an excellent example of embodying Aries boldness and urgency that we can look to in this astro mess. Astrologer Elly Higgins discusses Delany’s Aries Sun and Rising, his Mars in Gemini, and Moon in Libra using Delany’s conception of Contact and Networking as a guide.

Then we use annual profections and solar return charts to assess some important high points and low points in Delany’s life.
