Don’t tell George Bush, but Frank Wilczek now seems to be famous in France, according to Google. A French astrological website specializing in famous people (including not only “scientifiques” but also “sex symboles”) has posted Frank’s astrological birth chart.
People who share Frank’s May 15 birthday, according to their list of notable Tauri, include twins Madeleine Allbright and Trini Lopez, both born in 1937–and, among many others, Socrates (466 BCE)!
Back to earth for a moment–Wikipedia has Socrates’s date of birth as June 4, 470 BCE, and the Encyclopedia Britannica isn’t even sure about the year, but what do I care?
It’s more fun to picture Socrates as Frank’s astrological alter ego. And helping people believe what they want to believe has kept astrologers in business for many, many cycles of Sun and Moon.
