Is it a coincidence that two of the most famous magicians of all time Harry Houdini and David Blaine are both Rams? Not likely. Aries men live for the thrill of achieving the unexpected and having the spotlight placed squarely on their childlike genius. Hungarian Harry Houdini (born on March 24, 1874) is of course the original and legendary master of thrilling illusion. And he had the chart to back it up. Houdini possessed a dark Scorpio Moon, powerful Aries Ascendant, contained Pisces Mercury, fiery Pisces Venus, and stubborn Taurus Mars. He was more than just the entertainer; Houdini was also a brilliant showman and a businessman who knew how to turn unique learned skills into promotional jackpots. Not surprisingly, Blaine who was born a 101 years after Houdini (on April 4, 1973) considered the original magic superstar as his idol. They have a lot in common in their respective charts. Blaine’s Taurus Moon is opposite of Houdini’s Scorpio, and New Yorker’s Mercury and Venus both match to the Hungarian’s chart. Blaine’s Aquarius Mars doesn’t make him as overtly ambitious as his predecessor, but it’s a perfect spellbinding planet for all things alien and hypnotic.
