The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin is a seminal work that spans several decades of Franklin's life, from his childhood in Boston to his later years as a respected statesman and scientist. The autobiography is divided into four parts, each written during different periods of his life. It covers his apprenticeship to his brother James, his early career as a printer and publisher, his experiments with electricity, and his civic and political involvements. The work is notable for its insights into Franklin's personal life, his pursuit of moral perfection, and his contributions to American history and culture.
In episode 474 astrologers Chris Brennan and Nick Dagan Best discuss Charlie Chaplin and Adolf Hitler as time twins who were born a few days apart both with Venus retrograde, and how subsequent Venus retrogrades coincided with important turning points in both of their lives.
Hitler and Chaplin were born in April of 1889 only 4 days apart, and so their birth charts are remarkably similar, including both having Venus retrograde in Taurus.
The issue of time twins or people who are born around the same time with similar charts is usually brought up as a criticism against astrology, since clearly two people born around the same time can have different destinies, but in this episode we demonstrate how two people born near in time can end up having important turning points happen in their lives at the same time due to shared transits.
One example is how during the Venus retrograde in 1913 both men ended up moving to the place they would become famous, with Chaplin moving to Hollywood at this time, and Hitler moving to Germany. While their destinies were different, their timelines would often overlap in striking ways.
This was originally a piece of a larger investigation into Venus retrogrades in Aries that we decided to break off into its own episode, in order to be able to really tell both of their stories in full, and demonstrate how important turning points in their lives tended to happen during the time of these Venus retrograde periods.
Because our focus was primarily on the Venus retrograde periods we did not reflect on the broader issue of time twins as much as we could have, and so this is instead more of an initial introduction to astrologers can address the issue of time twins from a practical, conceptual, and philosophical standpoint.
