Fraces McEvoy

The Frances McEvoy Collection features insightful, archival writings and newsletters produced for the Boston chapter of the National Council for Geocosmic Research (NCGR). Known for her rich synthesis of mythology, astrological archetypes, and mundane astrology, McEvoy explores deeply transformative placements—such as the planetary and asteroid dynamics of Ceres, Moon nodes, and Saturn transits—connecting ancient mythic patterns to modern psychological and world events. This collection serves as a vital historical resource for studying astrological iconography, natal chart interpretation, and mundane cycles of the late 20th century.

Vesta: Keeper of the Flame (1994)

  • 3 pages
  • Astrologers' Newsletter
  • 1994

Vesta (Asteroid), Celebrity Natal Charts, and Asteroid Goddesses. This archival item is the 1994 article “VESTA: KEEPER OF THE FLAME” by Frances McEvoy, published in the Astrologers’ Newsletter. It outlines Vesta’s 1807 discovery, its 29 year orbital cycle, and its mythological roots as the Roman goddess of the hearth and keeper of the sacred flame. McEvoy defines Vesta as the astrological archetype of dedication, purity, solitude, and devotion to meaningful work rather than personal power or material gain. The author provides natal placements and delineations for dozens of historical and public figures including Marie Curie, Margaret Mead, Rose Kennedy, Maria Montessori, Anne Frank, Queen Victoria, Jerry Brown, Michel Gauquelin, Yasser Arafat, Angela Davis, and Helen Keller. A concluding data column by Lorraine Welsh provides verified birth data for figures including Mitt Romney and Pope John Paul II.

Uranus Conjunct Neptune 1992-1995 (1986)

  • 4 pages
  • 1986

Uranus/Neptune Conjunction, Outer Planet Cycles, and Mundane Astrology. This archival item features two December 1986 articles by Frances McEvoy, “Planetary Phenomena” and “Uranus Conjunct Neptune in Capricorn 1992-95”. The first piece surveys December 1986 sky activity, highlighting the Winter Solstice, major planetary conjunctions, and asteroid transits. The main article analyzes the 171 year Uranus Neptune conjunction cycle by drawing historical parallels to the 1821 to 1828 Capricorn alignment, tracing key developments such as the Monroe Doctrine, Latin American independence movements, and early labor reforms under Robert Owen. McEvoy debunks fears that Capricorn outer planet alignments trigger natural disasters, showing that previous conjunctions historically correlated with economic stability, cathedral construction, and the births of visionary historical figures.
