Who Alan Watts was
He published his first book on Zen at twenty and became an Episcopal priest before leaving the Church.
His talks on San Francisco public radio during the sixties explained Taoism, Vedanta and Zen to a whole generation; the recordings still circulate today. He called himself "a philosophical entertainer" rather than a teacher, a distinction he defended carefully.
No documented birth time exists for this person. Without a time there are no houses, no Ascendant, no Midheaven, and the wheel is not oriented: what you see are the positions by sign, which are correct, and nothing else. An incomplete chart beats an invented Ascendant.
