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.

(12,567 posts)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.

(70 posts)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!
