Biography: American astrologer, pro since 1980, a lecturer and author of

over 100 articles in astrological magazines. With a background in the

business and computer worlds, and a degree in philosophy from the

University of Maryland, he was a partner for many years in ARC associates

in Washington, DC. His discipline is Hindu astrology, sidereal, in which

he works on political, business, financial and medical astrology.

Richard Houck was widely recognized as one of the few astrologers in the

world with a practical, integrated grasp of the best of Eastern and

Western astrology. He was the sole sponsor of the largest Vedic

conference ever held on the East Coast of the United States and he was

also a featured lecturer at other major conferences.

His many books and articles were widely applauded for their freshness and

practicality. Disdaining much of the vague and repetitive sign-oriented

typing that passed for Western astrology (basically projection and

self-attribution), Rick's work was dedicated to demonstrating the great

classical and objective strengths that can be derived from layering

useful Western techniques upon the stronger Eastern baseline. He was one

of few astrologers to accurately predict the chaos and confusion of the

recent presidential election in the United States months prior to its

occurrence. His web site was devoted to documented and unequivocal

forecasting for which he was recognized and highly regarded.

Prior to his astrological career, Rick worked for Arthur Andersen &

Company as a manager of the Advanced Computer Auditing Techniques group

for the Washington, DC office and was one of their top international

trainers in that area. He was the Senior Information Officer for

Intelsat, the international governmental consortium that runs the world

satellite network. He was also a Director in the Information Technology

Division of an executive recruiting firm, President of the largest

computer security association in Washington, DC, and an independent

consultant to other private companies and the Federal government. He

earned a degree in Philosophy.

In 1994, Houck published " The Astrology of Death, " Groundswell Press,

which was highly applauded and very well received.

 

In April 1999, he was diagnosed with cancer. Using diet and various

alternate healing methods, he thrived through the year, feeling strong in

spite of some weight loss. However, in November 1999, Rick released the

information that the right lobe of his liver has six tumors the diameter

of a baseball and cancer is wrapped around the aorta and has metastasized

through the body. On 4/01/2001, his wife Paula send out the announcement

that Rick had died.

Some time before, he had been interviewed for a program on Prophecy on

television's Learning Channel. After explaining that is wasn't too hard

to come up with the date of death for most charts he went on to say that

he expected his own death on 9/13/2031 by heart attack.
