Jordan Maxwell

There is an old-soul gravity to Jordan Maxwell, the researcher and speaker born Russell J. Pine in 1940 who spent a lifetime tunnelling into the symbolism buried inside religion, corporate emblems and secret societies. His Sun shines in Saturn-ruled Capricorn, and the Sun is where we shine, so his whole identity organised itself around a slow, dependable climb toward mastery: the disciplined, dependable seeker who patiently stacks one hard-won piece of hidden knowledge on the next until a private ladder reaches somewhere the mainstream never thought to look. Kindled young by Manly P. Hall and Helena Blavatsky, he read ancient civilisations and occult iconography as a coded language of power, and he had the Capricorn stamina to make that reading a decades-long vocation of lectures, radio and books.

His Moon rests in Capricorn too, doubling the theme. The Moon is our emotional weather and comfort, and dropped into stern Saturn it forges a stoic, self-reliant temper: the child who grows up early, the one who trusts duty and structure over softness. That gave his work its unshakeable seriousness. He met criticism without flinching, steadfast to the end, forever asking the world to question the story it had been handed.
