Tribute to Marcello Galluppi
12/8/1936 – 12/20/2005

It is with great sadness and a profound sense of loss that I relay the passing of Marcello Galluppi. He experienced a sudden asthma attack on 12/20/05 from which he could not recover. He was a great astrologer, metaphysician, entertainer and all-around unique person. He had a special ability to combine history, astrology, astronomy, little-known facts and current events to see things which others could not or would not.

Marcello was imported to Michigan from New York by our famous local Financial Astrologer, Raymond Merriman. Ray invited Marcello to present his Fantastic Space Voyage slide show and use his special “oracle” for readings at several conferences.

Marcello hosted a call-in radio show, wrote for phenomeNEWS, lectured on predictions and current events for groups such as the Rochester, MI Parents Without Partners and was a contributing writer on www.Moonbowmedia.com.

He was one of the most popular guests on Robert Taylor’s Grosse Pointe cable show, Out of the Ordinary-Into the Extraordinary. Robert considered Marcello a dear friend and saw him as a modern-day Merlin. Robert enjoyed Marcello’s sense of humor and honored him as a genius for his expertise in the physical sciences as well as metaphysical. Robert pointed out that in his Vedic astrological chart, Marcello had the South Node in the 12th house, an indication that this was his last incarnation.

Throughout the past 30 years Marcello touched the lives of hundreds of people with his personal consultations. He was interested in the welfare of others and was always trying to help. The funeral-home visitation and the funeral itself on 12/26 and 12/27 were a celebration of his life and accomplishments. They were crowded with people who loved him and had wonderful things to say about him.

Marcello and I studied together on a regular basis and he particularly sparked my interest in the political and world-event branches of astrology. He predicted in August of 2005 that by December 2005 information would come to light which would challenge the Presidency of George Bush. Marcello, right on! I will miss you always.
