Who
Is That Man Behind The Curtain?
 |
Who
is the astrologer known as Dr Z? Well... let's see... Dr Z
(aka Anthony L Peña,
JD) is a bona fide "baby boomer." Yep... Dr Z is
an old hippie type born back in the dark ages of the 1950s;
and
he's
been
sporting that beard of his since 1973...
Dr
Z grew up in New Mexico on the Llano Estacado
High Plains of the Southwest in the USA. However, since the late
1970s, he's called the greater Nashville, Tennessee area "home
sweet home."
FYI
- New Mexico was granted USA statehood way back in 1918 and
thus should not be (but often is) confused with our most excellent
neighbor to the south, Mexico (which is like - uh - a totally
different country). |

A
still "wet behind the ears" Dr Z moved to Nashville,
TN in the late 1970s (like half the population of Nashville)
in order to become a world famous songwriter. Making an extremely
long and boring story short, he ditched that particular pursuit
a long time ago.
As
for Dr Z's educational background, he has earned academic degrees
in the paradoxical disciplines of Theology and Jurisprudence,
as well as, earning 50 plus hours in undergraduate and graduate
psychology.
Being
a wee bit rebellious and eccentric (Sun, Moon, and Mercury
all in major easy aspect to Uranus) - it somehow makes
perfect sense one of the hats that Dr Z now wears
in his silver years is that of an astrologer.

Internet
Pioneer
In the early days of the internet, Dr Z was one of a small handful
of pioneering astrologers that (somewhat) had an early vision for
what the Web could eventually become. Early on staking out his territory,
this astrology site first went online in September of 1996. That's
right... 1996.
Then
for 7 years, from 1999 to 2006, Dr Z simultaneously served as the
expert astrology guide at About.com (owned by the NY Times).

Internet
Services
As a strong believer in local astrology, Dr Z has always felt
that folks tend to get more "bang for their bucks"
by the oracular experience of visiting their friendly neighborhood
local astrologer face to face. Therefore, during the early years
of The Zodiac Master, Dr Z chose not to hawk any of his astrological
services. He chose rather to (virtually unheard of at the time)
entertain and educate his visitors about astrology.
Early
on... The Zodiac Master was honored to be 1 of only 10 astrology
sites selected for review in the
November 1998 Edition of Yahoo Internet Life Magazine! It
was later honored to be one of the very first web sites reviewed
in the Mountain Astrologer Magazine.
Eventually
Dr Z came to the realization that he was just being "old-fashioned"
by not offering services online and that he needed to go ahead
and enter the 21st century.

So
- although Dr Z still strongly feels that folks tend to
get more "bang
for their bucks" by visiting a local astrologer - after
several years he opened StarryMart that
provides limited internet astrology readings and reports.
No
Freebies
Sorry folks, but Dr Z doesn't do astrological "freebies" or "favors" for
folks visiting the Zodiac Master. As
it is, Dr Z barely has adequate time set aside for his regular, credit
card in hand, clientele.
So
What's Dr Z's Sun Sign and/or birth data?
There are basically two groups of
folks in the "astrology
community:"
-
First,
there are those wonderful open and free folks that passionately
believe we are all obligated
to freely share our birth chart information with practically anyone
that asks.
-
Then,
there is that pesky second smaller group of folks that just as passionately
believe sharing information about one's birth chart is an intensely
private matter.
|
Dr
Z belongs to that pesky smaller second group of folks... thus,
if you contact Dr Z - asking for his birth data - then
he'll simply refer you to this page.
At
the same time... throwing Dr Z's fans one small bone (and against
his better instincts)... along with having his Sun,
Moon, and Mercury all in major easy aspect to Uranus, his
birth Ascendant is located in the Mercurial sign of Gemini and
his birth Sun is located in the nefarious sign of Scorpio. |
