What is the rising sign of Hitler?
1 It may be of interest to the reader to know that, contrary to common perception, Adolf Hitler’s real star sign was Taurus with Libra rising, as determined by the ‘Austro-Hungarian’ astrologer Louis de Wohl in Secret Service of the Sky (London: Cresset Press 1938), p.256.

66 De Wohl continued to provide astrologically inspired intelligence reports to the War Office well into 1943, according to Howe, although it is unlikely that they were taken seriously. See p.216 of Urania’s Children (note 12).
67 There is some dispute in secondary sources about which Whitehall organizations de Wohl was posted to and when in his employment for British intelligence. In late 1940 and early 1941, de Wohl worked for the Admiralty, the War Office, and SOE, according to Ellic Howe in Urania’s Children (note 12). See pp.209216. In the second volume of his diaries, Sir Robert Bruce Lockhart reported that the Security Service, MI5, attempted to’sell’ de Wohl to the PWE in mid-1942 for an unspecified reason. p.187 in Sir Robert Bruce Lockhart’s Diaries, Volume Two, 19391965 (London: Macmillan 1981).

In German, what is Taurus?
While the English word for the bull is “Taurus,” the German word for the bull is der Stier. English utilizes Latin-based terminology such as “taurus” (bull), whereas German uses Germanic words (Stier, related to “steer”). However, there are several exceptions. The direct translation from German to English for Aries, Cancer, and Capricorn is the actual sign, not the symbol that represents it.
Which Taurus dictators were there?
I was intrigued a few years ago if being born under the sign of Taurus (April 20 – May 20) meant anything, so I began researching notable Taureans to see if there was any consistency in personality traits, vocations, or whatever. I was surprised to learn that many of the world’s most powerful dictators were all born under the sign of Taurus. (The others were Capricorn or Leo.) This isn’t a joke. The bulk of the worst dictators in history have these three characteristics.) Is it purely coincidental? You make the call.
- Pol Pot (born May 19, 1925). Cambodia was taken over by communists in 1976, and they implemented a strategy of torture and murder that resulted in the deaths of nearly a million Cambodians.
- Khomeini, Ayatollah (born May 17, 1900). Led a revolution that transformed Iran from a secular monarchy to a Muslim fundamentalist-led theocracy. Went to war with Iraq, igniting the “Islam vs. America” debate.
- Hussein Saddam (born April 28, 1937). Iraqi dictator; former foe of Khomeini, and frequent US foe. During his reign, there were no weapons of mass destruction, but there were plenty of dead Iraqis.
- Hitler, Adolf (born April 20, 1889). This man requires no introduction, yet there is some debate over whether Hitler was a Taurus or an Aries, as Taurus begins on April 21 in certain horoscopes. However, since majority rules, I’m going with April 20.
- Catherine of Aragon (born May 2, 1729). Catherine rose to power through a military coup against her own husband, who was subsequently murdered, and is adored by Russians for making St. Petersburg a world-class city. In the sake of Russian expansion, she conducted two wars against the Ottoman Empire, seizing territory and killing innumerable innocent people. The Soviet Revolution would be the last time such expansion occurred.
- Lenin, Vladimir Ilyich (born April 22, 1870). Speaking of Soviets, after a bloody revolution, Lenin waged an even bloodier civil war against Russian reactionaries who refused to become Marxists. (Karl Marx was also a Taurus.) Lenin was crippled by a series of strokes just as he began to realize that his ideals were too harsh for a people in starvation, and Stalin (a Capricorn) was forced to succeed him against his will.
- Oliver Cromwell (April 25, 1599) was a power-hungry military strategist and “Lord Protector of England” who invaded Scotland, Ireland, and France in the most brutal conquest in English history, organized massacres left and right, and nearly became King after putting his old boss Charles I on trial and executing him.
- Ho Chi Minh (May 19, 1890) was a Vietnamese Communist leader who invaded South Vietnam in order to force it to unify with newly-Communist North Vietnam, which necessitated fighting the French, Americans, and other partisan nations. Of course, he was successful.
- Machiavelli, Niccolo (born May 3, 1469) Though he was little more than a political snob in his day, Machiavelli is most known for The Prince, a survival guide for despots that lays out the principles for retaining power by coercion and ruthless cunning. It predicted not just the goals of the eight tyrants listed above, but also those of Jim Jones, Maximilien Robespierre, Lucrezia Borgia, Eva Peron, Marshall Applewhite, Emperor Hirohito, George Lucas, and Barbra Streisand.
Is April 20th Aries or Taurus?
Taurus is the zodiac sign for April 20. On this day, the Taurus zodiac sign begins its rule, hence Taurus sun sign people have their birthdays on the “cusp” between seasons. The Aries season comes to a finish on April 19.
Not sure what sign you were born under? We offer a detailed birth chart (natal chart) that will tell you everything about your zodiac sign.
The Aries-Taurus Cusp
The Aries-Taurus Cusp is a time when the energies of Aries and Taurus coexist. This is a potent combination of energy! People born on April 20 have a combination of both signs: Aries brings a fresh start and bright hope, while Taurus brings resolve and reality.
Those born on April 20th are capable of moving mountains when they put their minds to it, with an enthusiastic new-beginnings view tempered by a realistic disposition. They make excellent companions since they try to avoid pushing their will on others.
However, this Taurus-born sprinter may run out of gas and require some alone time to recharge. It’s essential to keep a safe distance from them during these times to avoid being bitten.
What was Hitler’s date of birth?
Adolf Hitler, also known as Der Fhrer (German: “The Leader”), was the leader of the Nazi Party (from 1920/21) and the chancellor (Kanzler) and Fhrer of Germany (193345). He was born on April 20, 1889, in Braunau am Inn, Austria, and died on April 30, 1945, in Berlin, Germany.
Are there zodiac signs for countries?
When a place is founded or developed, a natal chart or birth chart is created. For example, Great Britain’s ‘birthday’ is December 25, 1066, making it Capricorn.
Venus rules Greece and the magnificent Greek Islands, which are linked to Taurus and Libra.
Scotland is connected with Cancer and is known for its clans, or family tribes…
Is there a Norse astrological sign?
Runeology is the study of Norse astrology, which uses birth runes instead of zodiac signs. Your birth rune is in charge of your fate. Birth runes, unlike your zodiac sign, aren’t supposed to tell you your fate or which month will bring you love or money. Instead, they seize opportunities to use what’s going on in your life to rebalance the balances back to where the stars aligned at your birth.
In terms of giving a complete rune astrological system, history does not supply much information on birth runes, but there are writings and historical works that provide insight into it and what it would have looked like in the future. There are 24 runes, and they are based on the same celestial motions as the traditional zodiac, and they act in conjunction with and between the zodiac signs that you are familiar with. Because the ate ranges between the birth runes are much less than the zodiac’s, there is a greater chance for a more precise reaction.
There’s a lot to consider when determining your birth rune, but this quiz can assist. Are you curious about your Norse astrology sign? Find out right now!
Are Capricorns bad people?
I’ll be the first to say that I know next to nothing about astrology and have no business writing about it (except for Geminis, of course, because I know all there is to know about Geminis), but here I am, writing about it again, and not feeling too much like a fraud. There’s a good explanation behind this! And it’s because I’ve been thinking a lot lately about Capricorns. Perhaps too much. Most people would argue it’s excessive because Capricorns have a reputation for being… uninteresting. However, the majority of people are mistaken! Because Capricorns are the zodiac’s low-key extraterrestrial sex gods, I’ve discovered. (No, seriously.)
You could be thinking, “But Capricorns are so boring.” They just worry about job, money, and advancement in their careers. And, absolutely, I understand. That’s something I’ve always thought. Capricorns have always struck me as uninteresting because they are such… fathers. And, no matter how much we love them, we all know that dads are boring. They are concerned with work, money, and development in their careers. Boring! Yes, some Capricorns are definitely daddies, as well as staid and rooted in place; they’re icons of patriarchal supremacy, as well as the banality and wickedness of capitalism. Other Capricorns, however? Other Capricorns, on the other hand, are less daddy than daddy, and they’re odd as hell, twisted in all the greatest ways, and yet total weirdos. Because, while some Capricorns’ ultimate life aim may be world dominance, it’s usually for mundane reasons like productivity or popularity for the sake of fame. What about other Capricorns? The idea is to create the world in all of its messy, eruptive glory. As a result, Capricorns make excellent cult leaders. (Consider Jesus.)
But, before we get into the cult leadership potential, let’s return to the extraterrestrial sex god. Capricorn, more than any other sign, is full with people about whom you may say, “We don’t deserve them.” These are the people who feel as if they are not of this world because of their talent, intelligence, humanity, grace, humor, and so on. These are folks who are so good at being human that they nearly don’t seem human at all? And are merely pretending to be human with their extraterrestrial skills, and hence are better at being human than any of us ordinary people who have to be themselves instead of dreaming what we should be like? Do you get what I’m getting at? No? Okay, I’ll show you.
Apart from Jesus, there are a few noteworthy Capricorns: David Bowie, Elvis Presley, Sade, Muhammed Ali, Kate Moss, LeBron James, Edgar Allen Poe, Martin Luther King, Jr., J.R.R. Tolkien, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Andy Kaufman, Jim Carrey, Jake Paul, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Justin Trudeau, Alison Brie, Blue Ivy Carter, and Michelle Obama are just a few of the celebrities who have appeared on the list.
Now, be honest, wouldn’t you believe me if I told you that anyone on that list wasn’t truly a person, but rather an alien who came to Earth to be greater than any human had ever been in their particular fields? You would, of course! Because they are all too good at being the best at what they do, nearly none of the people on this list are believable as real people. Humans aren’t all that wonderful! However, Capricorns are. As a result, they must be extraterrestrials. Even so, they’re all the kind of aliens your father would approve of! These aliens are father-friendly. They work quite hard. They value quality. They’d be excellent dinner party companions. They all inspire cultishly loyal fans as well.
Let us talk about Jesus for a moment. Jake Paul, too. And cult leaders are Capricorns! Because, let’s face it, a Capricorn can persuade you to believe anything because they are world creators and fathers. This is what fathers do: they build worlds. In the case of Jesus, an entire religion was created, one that would go on to disrupt, well, everything. Do you think Jesus could have done it if he hadn’t been born under the sign of Capricorn? It’s difficult to say, especially since no one knows his exact birthdate, but I’m going to say no. No, Jesus could not have done this if he had been born under the sign of Taurus or Libra. Because he was a Capricorn and, as such, a literal (figurative) alien sent down by the ULTIMATE father to save the earth and be, not just a sex god, but also an actualthe actual!god, Jesus was able to pull off the whole “start a new religion and change forever the course of human history” thing, which couldn’t have been easy.
Jake Paul is the other. Have you read Taylor Lorenz’s profile of this self-made social media celebrity in the Daily Beast? You should read it right away since it’s one of the most intriguing things I’ve read all year and an excellent example of a Capricorn at work. Paul has over 30 million social media followers across platforms at the age of 20, and when he makes a public appearance, he draws crowds in the thousands. He’s also brilliantly focusing on the next generation, rather than millennials, who are clearly over, in order to better secure his fan base for years to come, so that when the time comes for him to return to his home planet, as Jesus did before him, his countless earthly acolytes will continue to spread his good word for years and years to come. Do you think the 10-year-old who “cried for days before her parents agreed to transport her into the city from New Jersey” to see Paul and told Lorenz, “I would do anything to meet Jake,” isn’t going to keep reading the Book of Jake Paul? She is, of course. We all want to believe in a Capricorn because he’s a Capricorn.
Of course, this is where Capricorns get into difficulty. Also with fathers. We wish to have faith in them. We want to believe they are looking out for our best interests. And they do on occasion! (For example, Michelle Obama.) Sometimes they’re Richard Nixon, and sometimes they’re not. R. Kelly, for example. Kim Jong-Un, for example. Because, just as the finest Capricorns are superhumanly good at being good, the worst Capricorns are superhumanly horrible at being bad. Bad Capricorns can also inspire cultish devotion, and they exploit their powers for evil, hiding behind reasons about committing atrocities for a greater cause, and claiming simply to be dedicated to their profession. This, however, is a fabrication. Capricorns enjoy being selfless, but the truth is that they’re just as egotistical as Geminis (meaning very egotistical) and have total megalomaniacal tendencies. And, while the finest Capricorns are proof that excellence exists in the world, the worst Capricorns are the types of people that do stupid things and justify it as part of their “process.” In the worst-case scenario, this results in the humanitarian catastrophe that is North Korea. On the set of Suicide Squad, Jared Leto gave his teammates dead rats in one of the more minor cases. It’s a continuum, to be sure, but it serves as a reminder that Capricorns may be quite awful.
But, I know what you’re thinking right now: “OK, I get the extraterrestrial thing.” And I think I understand the Capricorn father-son conflict. But what’s the deal with the sex gods? I’m pleased you inquired! Although, to be honest, I’m surprised you asked? What about “David Bowie,” “Kate Moss,” or “Sade” makes it unclear that Capricorns are sex gods? The thing with Capricorns is that they are sex gods even if they don’t always have to prove it. Like, sometimes they’re outright about it (see: Elvis), but other times they’re not, and they’re still… hotter than they should be. For example, you may be wearing cargo shorts (a very Capricorn item of apparel) and still want to fuck them. If a Capricorn were a decade, it would be the 1980s, and if a Capricorn were a day of the week, it would be a Wednesday, and none of those things are remotely attractive, yet you are captivated by one. You could literally tell a Capricorn that her “natural state is just: I want to be working,” and you’d still think, Wow, what a great human being-slash-alien sex god you are. Capricorns are absolutely insane!
Which, hey, you’re probably on board now, right? Yes, Capricorns are nuts, you think. And you were just thinking Capricorns are so boring a few minutes ago. Capricorns have a unique personality. You think you know who they are, but you don’t. You think you can dismiss them as boring workaholics, but then you discover that Capricorns are among the most intriguing individuals to have ever pretended to be humans. Capricorns appear to be the most rational of all the zodiac signs, but they are completely illogical. They are irrational at heart; their love for order is genuine, but it also hides the absolute chaos that rages beneath their skin. They are fathers and father figures, and we shall be riveted by them forever. We’ll keep looking up into the night sky, expecting to get a glimpse of their cargo shorts amid the stars, even after they’ve gone to their heavenly home.
