Learn more about Health Ledger with some aura reading and face reading. In tribute to this exceptional actor, I share an article published about a year ago where I read him for the Chicago Sun-Times. If you're a fan, too, accept this offering from my heart to yours.
Some actors are enormously evolved, spiritually. We watch them and enjoy their auric modeling. (That means the way people receive a contact high from another person's aura.)
Heath Ledger, found dead yesterday, at 28, was such an actor. He was also one of the very gifted ones who would take a role, acting all the way down into changes to his aura.
I'm now starting to prepare my annual readings for Academy Award nominees. This became a tradition after I did an in-depth article for the Chicago Sun-Times in 2006. It's fascinating to do comparison readings of nominees for Best Actor. I find a photo of each nominee when being "normal" and compare it to that nominee when in role.
Only an extraordinary actor can change so much for a role that even one chakra is altered. Health was able to change them all.
Below is an interview from the Chicago Sun-Times, published almost exactly a year ago, where I read him after his huge success with "Brokeback Mountain." Paige Wiser was the reporter, one of my favorites I've ever worked with.
Google to download other features that I have done with Paige. We have collaborated on dozens of articles, probably the first in-depth aura readings and face readings in any major American newspaper.
Power Source: Leading men Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger have drive, presence written all over their faces
In "Brokeback Mountain," Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger play star-crossed lovers. Critics say their connection is palpable; so does Rose Rosetree, who sees similarities in the actors' auras, and in their facial features. We talked to Rosetree, author of "Aura Reading Through All Your Senses," to see what gives these cowboys their chemistry.
GYLLENHAAL'S AURA
"When you look at his root chakra, the overall vibe of who he is, he's got a sensitive presence more than a large presence," Rosetree says. There's something interesting in his sex chakra. "He's got huge sex appeal, and it's very, very female."
That's not to say he's bisexual; everyone has male and female qualities that lay somewhere in the sexuality continuum, Rosetree explains. "He's got a deceptive outer softness, with rage and strength beneath." When he's challenged, his power grows even stronger.
Gyllenhaal's aura also reveals he's "empowered by empathy," Rosetree says. It's a gift, but it's not fully developed yet.
"He's got huge, brittle walls around his heart chakra," she says. "When people put up walls, it's an attempt not to take on other people's pain. Walls never work and just make a person limited in some way."
Could it be a reaction to his off-and-on relationship with Kirsten Dunst?
His throat chakra shows he has a talent as a communicator. He can project images of himself like nobody's business, but personally, Gyllenhaal's in hiding. Rosetree cuts him some slack here.
"He's still a young thing," she says. "He doesn't know a lot yet about who he is."
Go back and watch "Donnie Darko," says Rosetree, to see his aura in action. "You can see him project his feminine energy, wrapped in male bluster."
LEDGER'S AURA
"At Heath's root chakra is a masculine projection with a feminine tinge," she says. "It's clear to me from his root chakra, and the sex databank at his second chakra, that he's done a lot of personal healing regarding his sexuality."
There's "scar tissue" there, she says.
He's not only healed from his high-profile relationships with Heather Graham and Naomi Watts, but learned from them.
At his second chakra, there's a huge projection -- just like Gyllenhaal's, Rosetree says. "He has bluster on the outside and vulnerability on the inside." He also has a talent for helping people find steadiness.
"Then we amble over to his heart chakra," Rosetree says. "He has worked really hard to seem emotionally tough. I'd say, at this point in his development, he is a portrayer of feelings rather than an explorer of his own feelings."
She stumbled onto something interesting at his throat chakra: a vortex configuration.
"He pulls people into his silence," Rosetree says. "Marlon Brando had something similar. Brando had, deep within his vortex, an explosive rage. What Heath has instead is tremendous sweetness."
THEIR FACES
Gyllenhaal and Ledger have many features in common. For instance, take a look at their chiseled upper lips and unusual lip definition.
"There's skin around the lip that's kind of a natural lip liner," Rosetree says. "This is about a gift for communicating information about how people feel, including emotions, including sexuality. It shows that they have very high standards. The downside is that each can be his own harshest critic."
The actors also have narrow jaws, which is out of the ordinary for a leading man. "It's about having sensitivity to conflict," Rosetree says.
"They're more aware than most people are when folks aren't getting along. They have a need to fix conflicts early or get out of the relationship.
And then there are their low brows: "Their eyebrows almost tumble into their eyes," Rosetree says. "That means that blurting things out is very important to them. Spontaneous communication."
She also noticed the bottom eyelid of each actor is a straight line. This indicates tremendous loyalty to proven friends, and at the same time being very hard to get to know. Gyllenhaal and Ledger are big believers in "stranger danger."
Lastly, their ears: Both men have out-angled ears. "Not as much as Clark Gable's, but in that direction," Rosetree says. "It means that they're rebels in real life."
And "reel" life. Only rebels, of course, would star in "Brokeback Mountain" in the first place.
