Biography

Who is Helm JessePortis?

American pro astrologer, popular with a large, ongoing clientele due to his acute, often pungent astrological observations and solid, common sense advice. Not well-known in the astrology community nationally, he lectured and taught classes locally in Manhattan, later in the Raleigh-Durham area, and toward the end of his life in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. He was also a gifted Tarot reader and a student of things occult, including the Kabala. Jesse was irreverent and loved practical jokes. He delighted in a scandalous quip, and perhaps the highpoint of his writing career was a column in Gentlemens Quarterly for several years, in which he reviewed--and often skewered--the latest films, fashions, and trends. Jesse was HIV+ for many years and lost his lover, Philip Weathers, to the disease. He worked hard at staying well and was a tireless activist in the AIDS community in Ft. Lauderdale. He succumbed to the disease in June 1989.

Helm JessePortis birth chart analysis for Ascendant

In Vedic astrology, the Ascendant or Lagna plays a crucial role as it sets the foundation for an individual's horoscope. When the Natal Lagna (Ascendant) is in Libra, it imbues the person with qualities associated with Venus, the ruling planet of Libra. Individuals with Libra as their Ascendant are often diplomatic, charming, and have a strong sense of fairness and balance. They are socially inclined, valuing partnerships and relationships highly. Libra Ascendants often seek harmony and beauty in their surroundings, and they may have a natural flair for aesthetics and creativity. When the Ascendant falls in Chitra Nakshatra, it adds an additional layer of characteristics. Chitra is ruled by Mars and is symbolized by a bright jewel or pearl. This Nakshatra bestows a strong sense of individuality, creativity, and a desire for perfection. People with Chitra influence may be driven to create beauty and order, often excelling in fields that require attention to detail, such as art, design, and architecture. With the Lagna lord Venus placed in the 11th house in Leo, the individual is likely to experience a favorable influence in social circles, friendships, and aspirations. The 11th house is associated with gains, social networking, and fulfillment of desires. Venus in Leo can enhance the individual's charisma and popularity, attracting friends and allies who admire their warmth and generosity. This placement can also indicate success in pursuits related to the arts, entertainment, or any field where creativity and self-expression are valued. Poorva Phalguni Nakshatra, where Venus is located, is ruled by Venus itself and symbolizes relaxation, luxury, and enjoyment. This can further amplify the person's love for comfort, beauty, and social pleasures. It suggests a strong inclination towards creative and artistic pursuits, and the ability to attract wealth and luxury through social connections and collaborative efforts. In summary, this astrological configuration suggests a person who is socially adept, creative, and enjoys harmonious relationships. They are likely to find success and fulfillment in artistic or social endeavors, benefiting from their ability to connect with others and create beauty in their environment.
