I'm devastated to share news of the passing of an OG ASAHer...

Astrologer Rick DiClemente passed away from bladder cancer. He is a treasured friend and this is a lot to process.

He wrote "The Exquisite Zodiac" and hosted "Astrology Unplugged" weekly on Youtube.

Maybe some of you who have been here for ages as I have will remember Rick.


Edit: Not sure why I wrote gallbladder; it was bladder cancer.

I'd never heard of him, but I'll bet his shows were great.

Healing vibes on the way to you.

There was a time that I was going through some work and health decisions/struggles and he reached out to me to do a reading to clear my thinking. He was so knowledgeable and spoke and wrote in a way that was easy to understand.

Sending love and peace to all who knew him.

Years ago, when this group was in full swing, Rick was one of the brightest lights in ASAH. He shared his talents freely and always gave good advice. Such a big-hearted, funny, sweet soul. Go gently, dear Rick.

I had no idea he was sick! I've subscribed to Astrology Unplugged for a long time, but have not participated for a while. He will be missed!

Thank you for letting us know!

FYI, all his weekly sessions can be found on Youtube:

I was introduced to Rick through this forum and am friends with him on Facebook. There's not yet been an announcement there, so thank you for sharing. I'm so sorry.
