“Murdaugh, she wrote” was my alternate title. What I wrote in 2023 was based on my faulty understanding of when Memorial Day is in the States. It comes at the end of May, not July 1st.
I rectified the timing of his birth chart, based on the age her married his wife (Venus), 25. I didn’t expect to see that heavy stellium in the Gemini 7th House (of Open Enemies). Add to the fact that the Moon and Mars are conjunct @ 13° Gemini and you have the makings of a killer. And a liar: Neptune is conjunct a Scorpio Ascendant; Mercury is inconjunct the Ascendant, too; plus Saturn is inconjunct Pluto. We cannot believe anything he says, even under oath.
His new trial for the murder of his wife and son will (hopefully) be the end of the story.
Nostalgia’s great, in moderation. Netflix is obviously hoping to ride the coattails of Michael Landon’s long standing TV show from the late 1970’s, early 1980’s.
We watched the first episode last night. It was too sanitized. Everyone was educated, articulate and good-looking. That may be appealing to modern audiences, but after watching the prequels of Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone, it doesn’t fit what we know to be the rough and tumble of pioneering life.
I won’t be watching any further episodes, but I just wanted to share this with you, in the meantime.
The quote that I’ve used as the title of this post comes from Jesus’ rebuke of Peter when he cut the ear of the servant of the High Priest of Israel during Jesus’ arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane. (Matthew 26:52)
I don’t want to be a Cassandra but the optimism of other astrologers about the upcoming event that is triggered by the rare planetary alignment on this date is too much ‘wishful thinking’. It’s like the world has to go through something shocking in order to wake people up to a much greater reality.
The slower planets (Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto) are all at 4° of their particular signs. That’s the basket that Barbault saw in 1990. His focus was actually on aspects between Saturn and Neptune, so it is a stretch to suggest that Jupiter could be substituted for Saturn and still have some revolution or another come to pass. But I digress. I set the clock for 10 am in Washington D.C. to see how everything lined up. That’s when I realized that the Moon could be a trigger of sorts. There is one inconjunct linking Saturn and the Virgo Ascendant.

With this aspect you probably have a rather serious attitude toward life and other people. It may be difficult for you to simply go out and have a good time. You want to be serious and to spend all your time performing significant tasks. This attitude may have developed because you were discouraged from enjoying yourself when you were younger. You may have been made to feel that only work is important, that play serves no useful purpose. This is not true, however, because playing has a positive and useful function in the development of the adult mind and body. Not only does it serve to release tensions, but it also actually helps train you in social and physical skills that will be useful in any work you do later

This put me in mind of the 47th President of the United States. So I compared his chart to the event.
There are no interactive inconjuncts, so this may not be about him. But his Neptune is within 1° of the event’s Moon. Hmm.
We’ll just have to wait for the events of the day to unfold.
Have the Gnostics Returned as Artificial Intelligence?
I watch a lot of YouTube videos: not for entertainment, but for awareness. I suspect that the algorithms are giving me more of what I already watch, so my viewing preferences will be a lot different to what others enjoy. Lately, however, there seem to be more and more videos about things Edgar Cayce has said about Jesus’ past lives. (And there was only one giveaway that it was A.I. produced: ‘live’ was mispronounced giving the wrong interpretation to a sentence.)
None of this is new: I read a book in the 1970’s that told me essentially the same information: Edgar Cayce’s Story of Jesus.
The reason for my question is that most videos I have watched tend to dismiss the religious version of Jesus’ life as presented in the New Testament. Because I have explored these same thoughts while writing “The Star of Bethlehem” it makes me realize how advanced my thinking was.
I’m a senior. Things begin to become issues. Senior male difficulties. Oh, hell, just come out with it, Christopher: I may have ‘something’ wrong with my prostate. Hence my urologist ordered an MRI session for me.
Apart from dressing myself backwards with the hospital gowns, it went as well as could be expected. However, even with the earplugs and the headphones, the machine was LOUD!
The scheduled appointment was for 5:25 pm. We arrived 90 minutes early. Even so, the MRI procedure didn’t start until 30 minutes later. That’s why the event chart is timed for 5:55 pm. That Mars/Uranus conjunction on the Descendant is concerning. My next appointment with the consultant is in a week’s time.
To get the bigger picture, here’s my birth chart together with the event chart:
That interactive Yod (Finger of God) pointing at the Moon and Saturn conjunction in the event chart is made up of inconjuncts from my natal Moon and Saturn. Hmm. The event Sun is inconjunct my ‘lucky’ natal Jupiter. I should be OK.
Now, we’ll just have to wait and see what the results are.
First of all, I have nothing to do with this film, but there’s my name on the credits. Hmm.
This film is billed as an epic science fiction comedy. If you approach it from that perspective, there are plenty of funny moments that only Ryan Gosling could pull off. There are also plenty of questionable science moments, too, but, in the throes of the action, it’s a waste of time worrying about them.
The crux of the story relates to the improbable friendship between Ryland Grace (the scientist) and Rocky (the extra-terrestrial). Two minds are better than one, which is demonstrated many times during the story when they are faced with how to defeat the ‘enemy’. Both planets, Earth and Erid, need these two to succeed. Lives depend on it. It’s a long shot, which is where the name of the film comes from, a football metaphor.
It’s been running through my head, lately. Then I realized that it could be referencing PM Mark Carney’s recent political maneuvers. Now read the lyrics:
You can walk on the water Drown in the sand You can fly off a mountain top Anybody can Run away, run away, run away, run away It’s the restless age Look away, look away, look away, look away You can turn the page
Hey, buddy, would you like to buy a watch real cheap Here on the street? I got six on each arm Two more on my feet
Life is a carnival Believe it or not Life is a carnival Two bits a shot
Saw a man with the jinx In the third degree Trying to deal with people People you can’t see Take away, take away, take away, take away This house of mirrors Give away, give away, give away, give away All the souvenirs
We’re all in the same boat Ready to float off the edge of the world A flat old world The street is a sideshow from the pavement to the corner
Life is a carnival It’s in the book Life is a carnival Take another look
Hey, buddy, would you like to buy a watch real cheap Here on the street? I got six on each arm Two more on my feet
Life is a carnival Believe it or not Life is a carnival Two bits a shot
Life is a carnival Life is a carnival Life is a carnival
This is the modern equivalent of an American “royal” wedding. One astrologer on Facebook said that with all their money, they didn’t appear to have consulted an astrologer. Here’s why:
Mars/Uranus on the Descendant @ 3° Gemini is the warning sign. My idea of looking at their lessons using any inconjuncts only yielded one: the Moon inconjunct Mercury.
Moon Inconjunct Mercury
It may be hard for you to put your feelings into words, because your emotions are so different from your intellect. Of course, there is nothing really strange about your feelings, but that part of your mind is quite different from the reasoning part. In fact it would be very unfortunate if you decided to listen only to your reason, because your intuition and imagination, both of which are more related to the Moon, can be of great assistance to you. They can tell you much about the world that your reasoning mind cannot.
On the other hand, you shouldn’t allow your feelings to overrun your reason. The best thing to do whenever there seems to be a conflict between these two areas is to not make a decision immediately. Reflect and wait for further information that might help you make up your mind. As you get older, this problem should lessen considerably, and you should be able to make decisions more and more rapidly.

That’s not bad advice. And when you think that they took six months (or more) to plan this wedding, I think the emotional element got put on the back burner. Here’s how the event relates to Taylor herself:
Limited disclosure of UFO experiences is yielding some strange stories. This is one of them.
The event chart looks like this:
Just one aspect makes this unbelievable: Neptune inconjunct Midheaven. This flies in the face of the Uranus/Pluto conjunction with the Virgo Ascendant. The Sun is in opposition to Neptune, too.
I’m a fan of Harlan Coben’s stories. This one is the latest offering as an 8 part series on Netflix. We finished it last night. There are obvious plot holes, but if you let the action carry you along, they fade into insignificance.
The ending is satisfying, to say the least. All the villains die and some who appeared as friends and allies are uncovered for their parts in the conspiracy. The Payne Foundation is an interesting pun.
