The End of a Decade-Long Bromance

False Business Records? (May 14, 2024)

I was inspired to write this post, following yesterday’s testimony by Michael Cohen in Donald Trump’s election interference case. Some have likened it to a divorce proceeding. And with the animosity on display, I would tend to agree with that characterization. (Literally, they haven’t seen each other in six or seven years and Michael’s grievance is that he was hung out to dry by the man he protected, when Donald could have saved him as President of the United States.) The chart is for the exact moment Michael was asked if the invoice he was shown was a false business record: he answered, “Yes.”

Note that there are no inconjuncts. That means that what you see is what you get. There are no hidden agendas. Pluto in opposition to the Ascendant lets us see that this is the big revelation. So how did this come about? If you look at Trump and Cohen together, astrologically, their relationship is obvious.

Five aspects stand out: Cohen’s Jupiter is flanked by Trump’s Venus/Saturn conjunction; Cohen’s Venus is conjunct Trump’s Pluto; and three inconjuncts define their dynamic together, Trump’s Uranus is connected to Cohen’s Neptune, Trump’s Mars is connected to Cohen’s Saturn, and Trump’s Mercury is connected to Cohen’s Ascendant. This relationship is definitely a Master/Servant one. But for Cohen to serve his master properly, he had to love him. And one of the last messages Cohen got (via Trump’s support system) was that he was loved, too. Yeah, right…

The three charts together give us an overview of the moment that Michael sank Donald: the event Ascendant is conjunct Michael’s Jupiter and Donald’s Venus and Saturn. That says it all, does it not?

Hmm.

Every Would-Be Emperor Meets His Waterloo Eventually

Lake Tahoe, Nevada (July 13, 2006)

This one thought kept me awake for most of the night: was the meeting of Donald Trump and Stormy Daniels written in the stars? I decided to research the timings, according to stories from other peoples’ perspectives, to arrive at a consensus of when the encounter between them actually took place.

I know it’s a cheek, but I set the ‘event’ where they met at the golf tournament, randomized the time and then flipped it from AM to PM. This chart is what I got. Moon on the Ascendant? Absolutely. Venus opposition to Pluto? Absolutely. Saturn inconjunct Uranus? Absolutely What more could you want?.

In some ways, this event has more to do with Stormy Daniels than with Donald Trump. But there are some very strong connections that tie these two individuals with this incident. They imply a past life connection. The event Part of Fortune is conjunct Stormy’s Pluto and Donald’s Jupiter. The event Pluto is conjunct Stormy’s Neptune/Ascendant conjunction and Donald’s Moon/South Node conjunction. The event Neptune is conjunct Stormy’s Venus and Donald’s Part of Fortune. And the event Mercury is conjunct Stormy’s Jupiter and Donald’s Venus. Is that enough proof for you?

His Idea of Archetypes was Discovered during an NDE

Carl Gustav Jung (July 26, 1875 – June 6, 1961)

I’m coming to this story, very late in the game. Perhaps the easiest way to help you understand about the man is to share this YouTube video about his 1944 near death experience. Part of the early description reminds me of Cash Peters‘ transition pictures for the man.

On 11 February 1944, the 68-year-old Carl Gustav Jung – then the world’s most renowned living psychologist – slipped on some ice and broke his fibula. Ten days later, in hospital, he suffered a myocardial infarction caused by embolisms from his immobilised leg. Treated with oxygen and camphor, he lost consciousness and had what seems to have been a near-death and out-of-the-body experience – or, depending on your perspective, delirium. He found himself floating 1,000 miles above the Earth. Seas and continents shimmered in blue light and Jung could make out the Arabian desert and snow-tipped Himalayas. He felt he was about to leave orbit, but then, turning to the south, a huge black monolith came into view. It was a kind of temple, and at the entrance Jung saw a Hindu sitting in a lotus pos­ition. Within, innumerable candles flickered, and he felt that the “whole phantasmagoria of earthly existence” was being stripped away. It wasn’t pleasant, and what remained was an “essential Jung”, the core of his experiences. 

He knew that inside the temple the mystery of his existence, of his purpose in life, would be answered. He was about to cross the threshold when he saw, rising up from Europe far below, the image of his doctor in the archetypal form of the King of Kos, the island site of the temple of Asclepius, Greek god of medicine. He told Jung that his departure was premature; many were demanding his return and he, the King, was there to ferry him back. When Jung heard this, he was immensely disappointed, and almost immediately the vision ended. He experienced the reluctance to live that many who have been ‘brought back’ encounter, but what troubled him most was seeing his doctor in his archetypal form. He knew this meant that the physician had sacrificed his own life to save Jung’s. On 4 April 1944 – a date numerologists can delight in – Jung sat up in bed for the first time since his heart attack. On the same day, his doctor came down with septicæmia and took to his bed. He never left it, and died a few days later.

Perhaps, it would be better to look at his birth chart, for which the actual timing is not known, but rectified between 7:24 – 7:32 pm local Swiss time.

My initial thought is how his NDE would have happened @ age 49, but there are absolutely no planets there. So, we must take these charts with a large pinch of salt.

As it stands, this birth chart has three inconjuncts, two of which form a Yod, finger of God.

Mars Inconjunct Pluto (definitely)

At certain times in your life, when there are great changes taking place within you and in your environment, you will have to work very hard to make your affairs turn out right. There is nothing to be done at those times except do the work that must be done. Fortunately you have plenty of energy and enough endurance to pull through anything that you will encounter in life. You are basically tough and persistent. These changes are an integral part of your growth, and even if everything seems to go wrong they are necessary to your full development.

Planets in Youth (page 240) by Robert Hand (1977)

Jupiter Inconjunct Pluto (definitely)

You have a great deal of creative power, and the major challenger of your life will be learning how to handle it. First of all, you must realize that you will get the most out of life if you direct your energies toward helping the people around you and those you love. You will want to change many conditions in the world, which is fine as long as your reasons are not purely selfish ones.

If you use the energies of this aspect selfishly, you will have serious conflicts with authorities, persons in power and adults in general. You may try to make changes before you have learned how to do so creatively, without provoking such resistance that your efforts are blocked. To be effective, you must have the necessary skills.

Planets in Youth (page 272) by Robert Hand (1977)

Neptune Inconjunct Midheaven (probably not)

You are very impressionable, in that you pick up the energies around you very quickly. Therefore it is very important that you are surrounded by wholesome influences in your early years, because negative influences will weaken your self-esteem and make it much more difficult to accomplish anything when you are older. On the other hand, your impressionableness may give rise to some psychic ability, or at least a very sharp intuition when you are older.

Planets in Youth (page 342) by Robert Hand (1977)

Hmm.

So much of this NDE chart is speculative, the time and the place, for example. But the fact that Neptune is on the Descendant seems fortuitous. It is inconjunct to the transiting Sun, while a Yod is pointing at the transiting Moon, formed by inconjuncts to Jupiter and Saturn. This has all the hallmarks of a spiritual event. But when it is compared to Jung’s birth chart, another insight occurs.

The NDE South Node is conjunct Jung’s Ascendant (and conversely, the NDE North Node is on Jung’s Descendant, conjunct his natal Sun). This looks like one of Jung’s exit points. Otherwise, how can one explain it?

So, Are NDE’s Archetypal Events?

I’ve watched a lot of videos which narrate different people’s NDE’s. None are exactly the same as the next person’s. In fact, I’ve become aware that they are as individual as the people themselves. Most see some form of tunnel with a bright light at the end. Some are aware of others on their journey. And others are met by friends and family members who have preceded them. Whatever the religious upbringing, a spiritual figure speaks with them, and ‘discusses’ their concerns and questions. If you have fears of the future, these sometimes play out so that the fear hopefully subsides. But even images and experiences of hell occur. It all depends on the person needing them. (This was borne out by my friend, Chuck’s NDE.)

Ahh, that makes sense.

What will you see?

Was It Prescience or Propaganda?

Captain America: Civil War (2014)

I caught the second half of this movie on television, Saturday night. I suppose it provided a sensation for the viewing public, along the lines of Superman and Batman fighting each other in “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” (2016).

I joined the fray just before the airport battle scene. It doesn’t affect me, since I know superheroes don’t suffer the way ordinary people do. But for some people, this may get the juices flowing, and they may want to join the fight between ‘good and evil’. As usual, the lines between these two groups blur somewhat. Even the Black Widow was ambivalent. Still, the effect is one of setting up an energy for what happened on January 6, 2021.

.

.

This last quote has a grammatical error: the third word should be ‘toppled’. But the sentiment expressed by the villain (with a slight German accent, by the way) is false. The English had a civil war (1642-1651) and so did the United States (1861-1865). Both times, those countries rose again. Even Rome had civil wars, and it rose again. No, the truth is that complacency is the true killer of empires.

Yes, sometimes one must stand and fight for one’s beliefs.

Hmm.

An Angel on One Shoulder, a Demon on the Other?

David Wilkerson (May 19, 1931 – April 27, 2011)

I read “The Cross and the Switchblade” (1962) when I was in my teens. I never noted who the author was. Today’s YouTube video from Ellie Dreams Down Under brought this knowledge back into my consciousness. He was an interesting man, by all accounts. He also had a prophetic vision for the future:

I suspect his ‘vision’ was devastating to Wilkerson’s ego. I wonder what his birth chart looks like.

There is a T-square featuring Uranus on the apex, with Jupiter/Pluto on one hand and Saturn on the other. That is quite a dynamic. And there is only one inconjunct.

Mercury Inconjunct Midheaven

It is very important that you remember not to speak impulsively. If you do, it is very likely that you will put your foot in your mouth. Consider what you are going to say and how your words can further your objectives.

Planets in Youth (page 178) by Robert Hand (1977)

If you listen to his sermon from 1973, you will hear many things that have already taken place.

“God told me I had to share this…”

“God has everything under control.”

Proof that I’ve had “Other” Past Lives

The Wolves of Paris (Winter 1450)

Watching a YouTube video of the ‘true’ story behind “Little Red Riding Hood”, I was presented with a story I’d never read, nor heard of, previously. Here’s another YouTube presentation of that story.

I set up an event chart for this, using the middle of winter and a randomized time. Then, on a lark, I compared the results with my own birth chart. I wasn’t expecting anything more than a Sun conjunction.

The name, “Bobtail”, is a direct link to my animal spiritual guide, the Lynx (aka Bobcat). Is that how I’m connected with this time period? And with my Mercury being conjunct with the Wolves’ Mercury, I may have written this story down. Certainly their North Node being conjunct to my Sun signifies something.

Could I have been one of the wolves?

A Man of Many Talents

Rupert Allason (November 8, 1951)

I haven’t thought of this individual for years. You may know him as a writer under his pen name, Nigel West. I knew him as the UK Conservative Member of Parliament for Torbay (1987-1997). That seems so long ago, and, now, so far away. But a Google search of MI6 brought up the cover of his book about it. That shouldn’t have surprised me, but it did. All of his books are about the British Secret Services.

Could it be said that Uranus on a Cancer Ascendant gives him the impetus to expose the UK’s secrets? The Grand Trine linking that conjunction with the Sun, Moon and Midheaven seems to suggest so.

Moon Inconjunct Neptune

People with this aspect often hide their real feelings and make sacrifices for others that they do not really want to make. Then they resent the person who asked for the sacrifice. You must learn to tell people how you really feel. If you do not, you have only yourself to blame for what happens. You must learn to accept that you are responsible for your own life. Do not act as if you are the victim of strong forces that you can’t control, because you can control them.

Planets in Youth (page 134) by Robert Hand (1977)

Saturn Inconjunct Midheaven

Unless you are truly supported by your family and friends, you will begin to feel lonely and isolated from others and inferior to them. You are likely to have very serious difficulties with authority figures, because you are afraid of how they will treat you, not expecting that anyone will ever give you the loving guidance you need. You will see all authorities only as potential threats to your freedom and as sources of pain and trouble.

Planets in Youth (page 306) by Robert Hand (1977)

OK. That makes total sense to me. He’s exposing the SIS in order to keep them from controlling him.

Well, now we know…

“Dad, Are We the Good Guys?”

Treason (2022)

On a whim, we watched this series on Netflix, last night. I found it gripping, my wife less so. But, it must be remembered that I may (or may not) have a thing or two to do with the behind-the-scenes world of international spies. Even the ending was startling, but it does fit the ‘real world’ scenario of espionage.

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 71% of 14 critics’ reviews are positive, with an average rating of 6/10. The website’s consensus reads: “Treason may take itself too seriously but could deliver thrills to fans of the double-crossing espionage genre.” In its review, The Hollywood Reporter said: “Treason is only five episodes long and each episode is under 46 minutes, making it one of those shows in which brevity is both its best and worst quality. It unquestionably races along… with characters constantly rushing off to secretive meetings at different London locations… But the events of the story take place within possibly two or three days and manage to be too derivative for the show to earn much credit as plot-driven, and too rushed for it to succeed as character-driven.”

The Guardian described the series as a “gripping… fun, frenetic espionage thriller” but questioned its lead’s hard-man credentials: “Cox is less an international man of mystery and more a lovely Labrador”. The Independent negatively reviewed the series: “Overambition is clearly preferable to a lack of creative aspiration. It’s a shame, then, that Treason is so relentlessly preposterous. Not only does Cox utterly fail to convince as someone competent or ambitious enough to be made head of MI6 at 40, but the show insists on saddling him with endless cliché.”

Wikipedia

There are several good things about this series, including Oona Chaplin, who plays Adam’s wife, Maddy. She is the great granddaughter of Charlie Chaplin, and Geraldine Chaplin’s daughter. Her role is the one that actually causes a lot of the actions in the story to take place. She wasn’t suspicious of her husband’s motives until the CIA, acting clandestinely in the UK, makes her doubt him. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to work out that it was all going to end badly. Maddy is also the one to bring down the head of MI6, in an effort to clear Adam’s name and reputation. That part seemed a little far-fetched…

Spoiler Alert!

So, Adam’s answer to his son’s question at the beginning of this post was, “Yes, of course.”

In Last Night’s Dream, I Poured…

Oil on Troubled Waters

In the dream, I took the rare action of an active sabotage of a business enterprise by poring barrels of oil into their water supply. As I was also working there, it seemed that I was acting as a agent provocateur.

Only after waking up did I realize that the phrase ‘pouting oil on troubled water’ applied here. Ah.

As early as the 9th Century BC, sponge divers would spread olive oil (containing the surfactant olive oil) on the water surface in attempt to reduce the irritating flickering due to surface ripples (Young, L.B. 1983; The Blue Planet. Little Brown and Co. Boston. See J.C. Scott’s paper on: The Historical Development of Theories of Wave-Calming Using Oil Rep. 81, University of Essex, Colchester, England (1977) In 1774, Benjamin Franklin read a paper to the Royal Society. describing an experiment he performed on a half-acre pond. where a tea spoon of oil, which was very rough with wind , became as smooth as a looking glass. Dr. Jim Rohr – SPAWAR Systems Center Pacific.

And, there’s me, in the middle of that dream, wondering why no one came to arrest me for my ‘crime’.

And now, I’m wondering if Jesus calming the storm on the Sea of Galilee has the same inference.

Hmm.
