On January 14, 1933, Hollywood astrologer Paul Branchard predicted an annus mirabilis for his gifted if mercurial client, Erich von Stroheim.
“The Sun is slowly (by progression) pulling in to parallel to the birth position of Neptune, and will become manifest in about two years,” he wrote, as quoted by Richard Koszarski in his biography The Man You Loved to Hate: Erich von Stroheim and Hollywood. “In my thirty years of study and practice with this science, I do not recall having ever seen so many fortunate influences, all operating at one time in a horoscope.”
