Glenn Beck, a rising star in the conservative talk radio/TV/publishing market, has a rather interesting astrological chart. We can use astrology to help us better understand who may be sincere and then those who sound sincere, but may have a few distorting lenses in their psyches. How sincere or distorted is Glenn Beck?

An In Depth Look at the Psychology and Times to Come of David Letterman with Vedic Astrology
On October 1, 2009, David Letterman surprised his audience and the nation with an admission of having an affair and being the victim of an alleged extortion plot. He just right out confessed about it and then went on with his show as if nothing happened.
If I take a look at the chart of David Letterman (April 12, 1947, 6 am, Indianapolis, IN, USA; which I believe to be accurate at least to within a minute or so) his chart is sort of a paradox in astrological interpretation both Eastern and Western styles; that is, unless you take certain things into account. For this article I am using the sidereal zodiac and Vedic intrepretation rules in the main.
One of the few factors that are in his favor is the Sun exalted in Aries in the first house, which is considered an indication of great personal power; and he also has the Moon in the ninth house, which is considered to be a position of increased personal good fortune. Other than that though things start to get murky in the chart of David Letterman:
An astrological indicator of his success and reputation, the tenth house and its ruler Saturn, is strongly debilitated in Cancer, which would indicate difficulties and setbacks on the road to stardom. An example of setbacks could this could be what transpired in the 1990's losing out to Jay Leno in taking over the Tonight Show after Johnny Carson left. However Letterman has also had a long and successful career with his TV and production company, you could say he has "cantankerous appeal."

Taking a look at Heath Ledgers chart (4-4-1979, Perth, Australia, no birthtime available, using Vedic 
Moon-rising Chandra lagna chart) there is a strong Piscean accentuation, which is clearly an advantage for an actor who must embody the appearances of various characters, but also their more invisible aspects. Ledger was known for his dedication to his craft.
The Pisces accentuation (more than three planets) would also corroborate a potential weakness for drugs or forming codependent behaviors with substances. Pisceans can have a regressive tendency for escapist dissipation and self-pity. Ledger lately was saying that he was getting no more that two hours sleep a night, even with sleeping pills. He was known as a partier on the New York scene.
At this time Ledger was also undergoing his first Saturn return. Obviously he was going through an important time in his life with all its attendant stresses on his psyche. He had just broken up with his daughter’s mother, and he was on the verge of greater success in his life. So there was a lot going on, and he was at a very critical time of his life.
The reasons we are taken out of life can be varied. Sometimes we burn the candle at both ends. Other times death is life’s giving us an escape from increasingly bad situations. Sometimes we are unjustly cut down my malevolent forces. Sometimes the thread runs out, as it were, and we’re fated to have a short life….only to live on in some sort of a legendary manner like James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, or Princess Diana.
