Biography

Who is Mitchell Artie?

American homicide victim, shot to death by his brother Jim at his home near San Francisco on 2/27/1991, c. 10:00 PM. Artie and Jim were pornographers, pioneers of the sex industry as it exists in the late 20th century. Jim started their business while he was in college during the 60s, finding that the freedoms of the flower children included liberal exhibitionism. The pictures that he shot found an easy market in the streets of San Francisco. Artie joined Jim in his capitalistic venture, adding short strips of porno film to their wares. They found a lucrative venue with Jim taking pictures and managing the business while Artie made an energetic front man for the theater they bought. They had a boyish, All-American appeal that was in contrast to sleazy back-alley porn. The brothers believed that their product had its place in society, so when they were arrested, they hired the best lawyers and fought the civic codes in open court. They won their case with the legal right to show hard-core porno to consenting adults, and at the same time, becoming heroes of the early sexual revolution. Perhaps their most famous production was the Marilyn Chambers film, "Behind the Green Door." Artie was married at 23 to a hippie girl and he set about to make a home in the suburbs with all the trappings of middle-class domesticity. They had three kids, backyard barbeques and weekend softball games. His double life contrasted with business in the city where drugs, booze and women were casually available. After seven years, his wife asked for a divorce. Artie replaced her with wife #2 in the same situation, but with the addition of cocaine by now. He was abusive and jealous. The movie theater had been replaced with live sex shows and nude dancing and his sexual harassment of his female employees was constant. He built up a stable of girl friends whom he manipulated and abused. Court cases became an expensive way of life, along with child support of six kids and two ex-wives. His relationship with his brother Jim was also eroding. Jim had gone through his own cocaine habit and kicked it and had a stable marriage. He had become a businessman complete with three-piece suit and a middle-age paunch. One night after a particularly bitter argument, Jim drove to Arties house - and shot him. The jury found that it was a crime of passion, not of pre-determination. Link to Wikipedia biography

What does Mitchell Artie's birth chart reveal about his spiritual evolution and life purpose?

His Virgo ascendant grounds this fire energy into practical, analytical expression.

Where and when was Mitchell Artie born?

Mitchell Artie was born on December 17, 1945, in Lodi, United States. This Sagittarius birth placed him under the expansive influence of Jupiter, the planet of growth and fortune. His birth in post-war America shaped the context for his entrepreneurial ventures and the complex family dynamics that would define his life trajectory and personal relationships.

How does Mitchell Artie's astrological makeup explain his entrepreneurial ventures and business success?

Mitchell Artie's Sagittarius sun combined with his Life Path Number 3 reveals natural entrepreneurial flair and charisma that attracted financial success. His Taurus moon provided the persistence and resource-management skills needed for business ventures, while his Virgo ascendant brought analytical precision to deal-making. These placements, along with his family business involvement, show a chart designed for wealth accumulation and risk-taking in commercial endeavors.

What do the planets indicate about Mitchell Artie's patterns in marriage and romantic relationships?

Mitchell Artie's chart shows repeated marriage cycles and complex relationship dynamics. His Taurus moon seeks emotional security and stability in partnerships, yet his Sagittarius sun craves freedom and expansion, creating inherent tension. The data reflects multiple marriages and relationship challenges, suggesting his chart carries unresolved patterns around commitment, trust, and emotional intimacy that manifested repeatedly throughout his relational life.

Mitchell Artie's Life Path Number 3 endows him with natural charisma, creative expression, and social magnetism. This number amplifies his Sagittarius expansiveness and communication gifts, making him naturally attractive and persuasive in business and personal interactions. However, Life Path 3 also carries a tendency toward scattered energy and difficulty with sustained emotional depth, patterns reflected in his multiple marriages and complex personal dynamics throughout his lifetime.

Which yogas and planetary placements in Mitchell Artie's chart account for his prominence and material gains?

Mitchell Artie's financial success stems from his Sagittarius sun's Jupiter rulership combined with a Taurus moon's wealth-building capacity and practical sensibility. His Virgo ascendant provided shrewd business acumen and attention to detail in ventures. The Life Path 3 numerology enhanced his charismatic appeal for attracting opportunities and partnerships. However, his Grahan Dosha suggests these gains came with karmic complexity and hidden costs, indicating wealth achieved through morally ambiguous channels or relationships.
