Light and shadow of German astrology in the 20th century
Description
»What will happen on May 11, 1941?" This question was posed to the experts by the English astrologer Dr. H. Spencer-Jones, and Reichhold Ebertin printed it in November 1938, specifying the planetary constellation. He wrote in his autobiography:
»But when I was interrogated by the security service after Rudolf Hess's flight to England, and could say with a clear conscience that I had had no contact whatsoever with Hess, this question came to mind. I answered it with the words: ›The first possibility for peace.‹ A few days later, I was arrested.«
In Görlitz, Elsbeth Ebertin founded this legendary dynasty of astrologists. Her Hitler horoscope is infamous. Observed by the press, she wrote:
»The Frankfurter Zeitung (...) began a highly original feuilleton mosaic, which pleasantly distinguishes itself from the critical remarks of the usual skepticism through its delightful humor, with the words: ›Where are we drifting?‹«
Baldur Ebertin, the grandson, carried a heavy legacy. As being a brilliant cosmobiologist and healer, he remains to be unforgettable – despite those dark shadows hanging over him and 20th-century German astrology.
