Project 9: CAPTAINS OF INDUSTRY

1.  DATA

The 1,094 individuals who are cosmically profiled in this study have been captains of industry at the executive level either as Founder, CEO, President, etc. The birth dates range from December 1, 1428 to March 19, 1980. Six candidates are listed from the 1700's, 309 candidates from the 1800's and 779 from the 1900's. The birth countries include Canada, the United States of America, Mexico, the United Kingdom, most of Europe, Russia, Japan, and Australia. Included are many well known names such as Eleuthere I du Pont, John Molson, William E Boeing, John H Kellogg and Thomas Edison. It is a fascinating power group. Women and men are included in this study in a ratio of 1:4.

Like all the other projects completed at the Cosmic Data-Bank, the birth information including day, month, year and the longitude and latitude of birth was processed through Matrix's WinStar software which produced an accurate heliocentric position of the planets for each individual heliogram. The planetary data for the position of the Earth, Mercury, Venus and Mars was then entered into Microsoft's Access 2002 database software and analyzed. The results are listed below.

2.  EARTH IN THE SECTORS

Earth orbits the Sun every 365 days most years but it takes 366 days on leap years, or not quite a degree per day.

If the planets were completely randomly distributed through the sectors one should find 8.33% (91 individuals) in each sector but the results show that sectors 1, 2, and 9 have a lower count than expected and all the other sectors have a higher count than expected. When Earth is in sector 11 it is summer in the northern hemisphere and winter in the southern hemisphere. Very successful industrialists are born throughout the year but there is a significant increase in those born with the Earth in sectors 11, 10, 7, and 6. 

3.  MERCURY IN THE SECTORS

Mercury is the planet closest to the Sun. It orbits the Sun every 88 Earth days. Because of its elliptical orbit, Mercury does not spend the same amount of time in each sector and the table below factors that into the results. As Mercury gets closer to the Sun in its elliptical orbit, it speeds up, and as it moves away from the Sun it slows down.    

Mercury speeds through sector 3 in only 4 days but it spends 11 days in sector 9 which is the exact opposite to sector 3. The number of CEOs born in sector 3 average 17.2 per day for a high count and 10.4 per day in sector 6 for a low count.  If it is your ambition to become a successful industrialist, it would be to your advantage to have Mercury in the higher count sectors when you were born.

4.  VENUS IN THE SECTORS

Venus, the second planet from the Sun, has an almost perfectly circular orbit around the Sun and spends 19 days in each of the sectors.

With perfect distribution of planets through the sectors one should see about 91 counts (8.3%) per sector but we see a significant increase over that in sector 9 and a significant decrease in sector 2.

5.  MARS IN THE SECTORS

Mars has an elliptical orbit around the Sun and so the number of days Mars spends in each sector must be considered.

If your ambition is to become a successful industrialist it would be to your advantage to have been born when Mars was in sector 4, however, as you can see, there are successful industrialists born when Mars is in every sector. All of the factors of your heliogram should be considered, not just this one regarding Mars.

6.  HELIOGRAM TYPES

For a review of the eight major heliogram types use the following link  H-TYPES . The table below shows the results for these 1,094 industrious men and women. In every project finished to date the BOWL is the most frequently observed heliogram type and the BEE the least often seen. At the practical level if your heliogram is of the BOWL type, you are a member of the largest cosmic tribe on this planet. There are lots of you so it is easier to find friends, lovers, business acquaintances, etc. On the other end of the scale, the BEE tribe is small in number and the members tend to be loners.

7.  PLANETARY PATTERNS

For a review of the five major planetary patterns use the following link P-PATTERNS . The following table gives the results of the count both for the pattern as a 'solo' pattern with no other patterns present on the heliogram, and as part of a 'complex' of patterns; a stellium and a t-square would count as a 'complex' and two t-squares would also count as a complex.

This table below is for the patterns as 'solo', no other planetary patterns present at the time.

** There are patterns present but they are of a type so seldom seen I do not include them with the five major ones.

This second table is for the frequency of the five patterns when the same or other patterns are also present.

The Stellium pattern is the most often seen followed by the T-square and the Kite. The Grand Cross pattern is seen in 16 heliograms as the only pattern and in 31 heliograms when in combination with other patterns. Overall the Grand Cross is seen in 47 of the 1,094 heliograms studied for this project. The Grand Trine is not seen as a solo pattern anywhere in this project but is seen in 57 heliograms in combination with other patterns. The T-square family ranks high in all the projects undertaken thus far and I think it is because this family of planetary patterns is associated with a heightened inner drive of the individual. The t-square pattern is found in 30% of the general population but in 60% or more in the heliograms of other groups documented on this website.

8. SUMMARY OF RESULTS

The 1,094 members of this study are all captains of industry in one role or another but the industries vary from the most fundamental, such as steel manufacturing, to the most technology driven such as the telecommunications industry. I asked myself if it was fair to lump all these people together since their businesses were so different. I answered the question by pointing out to myself that the CEO's etc. might be at the helm of a computer chip corporation or a high fashion house but their work was very similar. Ultimately their job was to steer the company in the most profitable manner. They all have this in common: minimize costs, externalize costs where possible, grow the company, and maximize profits for the shareholders.

If you or someone in your household is thinking about aspiring to the head position in an industry which interests them it would be worth the time it takes to look at the heliogram for the individual and see where the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars planetary positions fit in the profiles listed above. Everyone included in the project is considered successful both by their accomplishments and by their peers.

The following table will reveal the cosmic profiles of some of the members of this study. The planets are shown by sector and degree; for example 1107 means sector 11 at seven degrees, 1029 means sector 10 at twenty-nine degrees, and 208 means sector 2 at eight degrees.

    HT = heliogram type and PP = planetary patterns.

    T = t-square    S = stellium    K = kite    2T = two t-squares    2S = two stelliums
