Saracat, his death would have been sad news even if all of us
had predicted it. In tribute, I have just posted this profile
of him on my blog, and I will put it below. It's my way to pay
respects.
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 was that kind of 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.
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. Click

We have collaborated on dozens of articles, probably the first
in-depth aura readings and face readings in any major American
newspaper.
This year's readings will be in the February issue of my
monthly zine, "Reading Life Deeper." You can sign up

Only an extraordinary actor can change so much for a role that
even one chakra is altered. Health was able to change them
all.
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.
