Biography

Who is Keillor Garrison?

American broadcaster, talk show host and author. With a soft voice and a slow, sentimental and often sad delivery, his folksy radio humor captured a huge following. His radio shows include "The Prairie Home Morning Show," 1970-74 and "A Prairie Home Companion," 1974-80. From 1980 he has been syndicated nation wide. Keillor is the author of "Happy To Be Here," 1982, "Lake Wobegon Days," 1985 and "Leaving Home," 1987. Tall and untidy, he married in 1965 to 1970. His one son, Jason, works for the radio show as an adult. In 1985 he made a highly publicized and romantic marriage to Ulla Skaerved whom he called "his true love"; three step-sons and a daughter together. They found each other at their 25th high school reunion where she had been an exchange student the year he was a senior. In spite of his live-in relationship with the producer of his program, they fell in love at first sight and married in Copenhagen. In 1987 he moved to Denmark, which proved to be too far from his familiar prairie folk, so he returned to the U.S. and radio two years later. In 1991, Skaerved reported to the media that Keillor had left her for another woman. Keillors low-key, homespun stories took well to the stage, and in November 1993, he took his show on the road for a 20-city tour in connection with his latest book, "The Book of Guys." He also writes regularly for the New Yorker. His third wife is violinist Jenny Lind Nilsson; their daughter Maya Grace was born 12/29/1997, New York, NY. Link to Wikipedia biography

Keillor Garrison birth chart analysis for Ascendant

In Vedic astrology, the ascendant or "Lagna" represents the self, personality, and overall life path. When the Natal Lagna is in Cancer, it bestows a nurturing, sensitive, and emotional nature. Cancer is a water sign ruled by the Moon, and it emphasizes characteristics such as intuition, protectiveness, and a deep connection to family and home. Individuals with Cancer Lagna often possess a strong sense of empathy and are driven by emotional intelligence. The placement of Cancer Lagna in Ashlesha Nakshatra adds layers to this personality. Ashlesha is symbolized by the coiled serpent, denoting wisdom, insight, and transformative energy. It is ruled by Mercury, which can introduce a cerebral or analytical bent to the otherwise emotional nature of Cancer. People born under Ashlesha may exhibit a keen intellect and an ability to understand the complexities of human emotions. They can be persuasive communicators, using their insight to influence and guide others. When the Lagna lord, the Moon, is situated in the 12th house in Gemini and in Mrigashira Nakshatra, it introduces additional influences. The 12th house is associated with spirituality, isolation, and the subconscious. It can indicate a propensity for introspection, a rich inner life, and an interest in spiritual or mystical pursuits. Gemini, an air sign ruled by Mercury, introduces a lively, communicative, and adaptable energy. This placement can lead to a restless mind but also a profound capacity for understanding and articulating complex ideas. Mrigashira Nakshatra, ruled by Mars, imbues qualities of exploration and curiosity. It indicates a quest for knowledge and new experiences. The presence of the Moon here suggests a deep-seated desire for emotional security through intellectual exploration. Such individuals might find solace in travel, learning, or artistic expression. Overall, this configuration suggests a person who is emotionally intelligent, introspective, and intellectually curious. They may navigate life with a blend of emotional depth and intellectual agility, seeking meaning and understanding both within themselves and in the world around them.
