Sydney Omarr - Virgo

Sydney Omarr - Virgo

I meant to post this on August 23, the first day of the Virgo sign, but it slipped my mind. Basically, according to Mr. Omarr, you Virgo (born August 23 to September 22) "are perceptive, analytical, able to size up situations and people. Now you've been described by many as a critic, an individual who is overly concerned with neatness, with health, with a desire for perfection." However, "most of your criticism results from a genuine desire to be of service, to improve conditions." Sydney has more information about your sign, Virgo, as well as how you relate to the other 11 signs of the Zodiac. You'll have to download it yourself to find out more. As if this LP's appearance in the Basement is not enough of an endorsement itself, Henry Miller, considerably one of the best writers around, wrote the liner notes that are on the back cover. The liner notes are in the file too.




Excerpts from the valuable resource Wikipedia on the interesting background of Sydney Omarr:

Sydney Omarr (5 August 1926 – 2 January 2003) was an astrologer and counsellor to the rich and famous. While he wrote numerous books on the subject of astrology, including My World of Astrology and his autobiography Answer in the Sky, he is probably the most widely known for his books on the popular Sun Sign astrology that endeavoured to predict a person's astrological influences based on his 'Sun Sign' - technically derived as the constellation providing the backdrop to the Sunrise on the day of a person's birth (such as Aries, Taurus, etc). He also wrote a daily Sun Sign horoscope column which appeared in more than 200 daily newspapers of the Los Angeles Times syndicate and which was read by millions. It is believed that Sydney Omarr has sold more books on the topic of astrology (over 40 million) than any other individual.
...
As Omarr became a rather prolific writer, he also reinvented himself as a celebrity in his own right, appearing on various radio and television shows to include Mike Douglas, Merv Griffin, and Johnny Carson. He knew countless celebrities, and his wife Jeraldine Saunders was a former model, cruise director, and the creator of the "Love Boat" concept for ABC television.
Toward the end of his life, Omarr wrote a series of astrological guides published by Penguin, Sydney Omarr's Day-By-Day Astrological Guide. While he authored the books up until his death, his protégés have taken over the work, and Signet continues to publish the series. He believed he had been an astrologer in many previous lifetimes, and he was able to do full planetary horoscopes in his head when given an individual's birth coordinates and birth time. For his Los Angeles Times syndicate columns, he wrote each and every daily horoscope column personally, usually three weeks in advance.
...
Sydney Omarr died on 2 January 2003 at St John's Health Center in Santa Monica, California of a heart attack. His wife and friends were at his side. He is buried at Riverside National Cemetery in Riverside, California.
Omarr was born Sidney Kimmelman at 10:27 a.m. on 5 August 1926, in Philadelphia, with the Sun, Mercury and Neptune all in Leo, and Libra on the Ascendant.
