Behenian Rhapsody: Satanic Synastry

I had the opportunity to sit down with authors, Substack Live class clowns, and creepy-cool guys

Sean Thomas McDonnell

and

William Pauley III

to chat about what the sky looked like when they were born, what that could mean about how easy it is for them to get along as writing compadres, and what makes their work tick—especially in terms of their recent avian horror anthology release, Blood in the Yolk.

Shout out to

Jon T

and

Sandolore Sykes

—you were mentioned with love and gratitude by these fellows as a constant source of creative inspo.

(in the discussion, we speak about Sean’s short story in the collection, The Tasteless Death of Lance Green, in which a character speaks of ‘dabblers and divers’—referring to traits of ducks in real life—for those interested, here’s the reference to inherited traits of shallow- and deep-rollers in Hannibal)

Sean’s chart, absolutely replete w/ Grand Cross aspects (VERY challenging)

Will’s chart, spangled with Trines making a very fortuitous arrangement

This is the actual synastry chart, showing the gory details—check out the lots of fortune (the circles with the x’s through them) in the houses 6 & 12 respectively; If the stars had advice they would encourage Sean to pursue success through habit and routine, and Will to pursue it through the dissolution of boundaries/what some might call spirituality or ‘weird shit’

Thank you

, and many others for tuning into the live! Join me for my next live video in the app.

(Not to be outdone in the horror dept, when your copy of the collection, Blood in the Yolk arrives, crank this tune and enjoy a very unreliable narrator in William Pauley III’s crow-centric Outnumbed 𓄿)
