The Rodden/McDonough AstroDatabase gives 6-26-1921 21:48 CST, Chicago for

Zip's BD, from her to Lois 1978. Rated A. Richard, where did the

contradictory information come from?? Below is the bio data on Zip from

ADB. I'll try to find time to work with Zip's SR and LR today or tomorrow.

Zip Dobyns Bio from ADB:

 

American clinical psychologist and astrologer. As an astrologer she

counsels up to 100 people a year and is the author of many books and a

researcher on asteroids. Well respected in the field, Dobyns is the winner

of the 1992 Regulus Award for Education and a second Regulus Award for

Discovery and Innovation, 1995.

The daughter of a publisher, Zip remembers her childhood as one blessed

with wonderful parents and a supportive upbringing. As the eldest of four

kids and the only girl, she tended her brothers and always wanted to have

her own kids. She earned a B.A. in anthropology in 1944.

She married Henry Dobyns on 10/30/1948 in Tucson, AZ and promptly had her

family, Rique on 9/16/1949, Bill on 12/04/1950, Maritha on 5/21/1952 and

Mark on 2/09/1955. The kids later followed her lead, more or less, into

astrology. She and Henry (who became an anthropology professor) separated

on 8/26/1952 and divorced 8/28/1958.

In the Fall of 1956 she began the study of astrology and was certified as

a professional astrologer after the AFA exam in 1960. She began her study

of clinical psychology in 1962 at the University of Arizona. In 1965, Zip

was ordained as a minister in the Community Church of Religious Science.

Since then she worked professionally in astrology, counseling. teaching,

and writing. With post-grad work, she earned an M..A. in 1966 and a Ph.D.

in 1969. By 2000, Zip was world-known, having lectured in 16 countries

and 36 U.S. states.

On 6/29/1999, Dobyns had a large tumor removed from her ovaries, a complete

hysterectomy followed by six chemotherapy treatment on 8/16, 9/07, 9/28,

10/19, 11/11 and 11/30/1999. The blood marker for ovarian cancer was

normal, a highly encouraging indicator of complete remission.

With a strong belief system of personal responsibility, she was convinced

that her cancer was the direct result of misplayed mothering. Her trust

was betrayed by a young woman whom she had befriended and given a home to

who then sued her the end of 1997 for a dog-bite on the property.
