I know where I was: living in a small village 10 miles north of Barrie, Ontario on Hwy 93; Dalston.
And, unsurprisingly for the time period, I got to hang out with Pete Johnson and his future wife, Eleanor, for one midnight romp while they were cruising the long stretch of Hwy 93, just south of Dalston. It was enough for me.

Cheers!

In a spiritual context, the Ace of Cups is a sign that you will open your heart to the love the universe is sending to you. You should feel a deep connection to spirit when this card appears and you may find new spiritual gifts or abilities come your way.
That is the question…
Now, I realize that not everyone has the ability to do that. I have a Hotmail account, which is serviced by Microsoft Outlook. ALL emails, even the ones in spam have a preview of who sent you the email. If the email is legitimate, the correct account will have send it to you. If not, the sender will be someone who is trying to hide who they really are. This is why I never get phished. Unknown sender? Gone!

I watched this blast off on ABC News last night, holding my breath, as so many people must have been doing worldwide. It went off without a hitch, after a 10 minute delay. For anyone born after 1972, this must be a new history in the making event. Those born on or before 1972, this could be considered ‘old hat’, but is it, really?
Interesting T-squares, eh? And because the moon was full, last night, the Sun/Moon opposition is squared to Jupiter, a very expansive planet for exploration. With no inconjuncts, this bodes well.
Fingers crossed for the rest of the space voyage.
Previously, I speculated that Edward VIII and Prince Harry might be karmically related. Now I want to look at the women they gave up their royal duties for. And before you remind me that Meghan was born 5 years before Wallis died, I have had this situation come up previously, and I suspect that the prior life was winding down before it took up the next life, while still alive.
This birth chart was on my Kepler 8.0 computer program, so I’ll leave it as it is. That Yod pointing at Uranus, formed by inconjuncts to a Venus/Neptune conjunction on one side, and Mars on the other brings some very interesting energies together. Along with that is a single inconjunct linking Saturn and Pluto, which can be seen as an energy upsetting the British Royal applecart. Her life was intended to derail Edward VIII’s rule. There are also elements in her clandestine background that might have made the UK vulnerable to Nazi Germany takeover. But I digress.
There are but two inconjuncts, one linking Venus and the Midheaven, the other linking Neptune and the Ascendant. Her effect on Prince Harry is undisputed, but I think the oppositions of the Moon, Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto to the Midheaven all squared to Mars in Cancer cannot be ignored. We’ll see how that plays out in the future, but as seen through the lens of karma, it looks quite important.
Wallis’ natal Moon is almost exactly conjunct Meghan’s natal Pluto in Libra. Wallis’ ‘fatal’ Uranus is almost conjunct Meghan’s natal Neptune. Meghan’s natal Moon/Jupiter/Saturn conjunction is inconjunct Wallis’ ‘fatal’ Sun. Wallis’ ‘fatal’ Mars and ‘fatal’ Jupiter are both inconjunct (and form a Yod pointing) to Meghan’s natal Sun. It’s impossible to suggest this is just a coincidence. Their lives echo each other’s.
Is any more proof needed?
I thought it might be informative to show you what the energy was on this second attempt to record The Beatles’ first single in 1962. There’s a documentary that reveals the details of the dates, times and place.
And there you have one recurring inconjunct, linking Mars and Saturn. The other inconjunct links Mercury with Jupiter. Hmm. Interesting, no? As with the beginning, so with the end…
And in the end
The love you take
Is equal to the love you make“The End” from Abbey Road (1969)
If you want to see the leadup to this ‘live’ show, watch “The Beatles Get Back”.
The show itself is not shown in this preview clip, but it’s famous enough to be understood for what it was: two fingers to a stuck-up financial world.
Hmm. I didn’t expect to see such a clear indication of what their motivations were: the Moon is inconjunct to Mercury, and Mars is inconjunct to Saturn.
Moon Inconjunct Mercury
As you grow older, you will have to learn to make your feelings and your reason work together. The problem is not so much that they come into conflict with each other but that your reason and feelings represent two very different sides of your personality. When you are calm and collected and able to reflect carefully, you make decisions in one way. But when you are emotionally involved in a situation, you are likely to make up your mind very differently, which could cause you to seem inconsistent to others and make it difficult for them to understand you.
Planets in Youth by Robert Hand (1977) page 116
Mars Inconjunct Saturn
This can be a difficult aspect because it signifies a conflict between your sense of responsibility and your desire to fulfill your own needs and do what you want. This leads to a struggle within you that may keep you from acting decisively. Instead of deciding what you will do, you feel caught between these two forces, wondering whether you have the right to do what you want. You may feel that others are trying to frustrate you, but it is only your own indecisiveness that is causing the trouble. Sometimes this conflict makes you very irritable and resentful about nothing in particular. Then, when someone happens to act in a way that is obviously annoying, you focus all your built-up anger on that person.

It’s not hard to see why The Beatles broke-up after this. But it took another year to do so.
Bless.
Having lived through the Summer of Love (as it was called that year), I watched as the world changed completely. The Beatles were at the forefront of the Revolution with their music and Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. This film is part historical record and part psychedelic dream trip.
The characters’ names are reflections of individuals in their songs. Jude and Lucy are forever imprinted on our hearts. But Molly and Jo-Jo look like echoes of Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix, part of the 27 Club. What is interesting is that this film is 40 years after the events of that year, but seen through the eyes of another (almost) 20 years span of time, everything seems totally up-to-date. No Kings, anyone?
Even The Beatles’ rooftop concert is recreated, although it happened in London on January 30th, 1969. A lot of The Beatles’ music is anachronistic in this film, too. But that doesn’t take away the power of the songs. 1967 was the year of the worldwide telecast via Telstar of The Beatles’ “All You Need Is Love”.
The Medium IS the Message.
Awkward, isn’t it? We don’t know exactly when Hamnet was born or when exactly Hamnet died, as the only parish records show his baptism and burial. But, I wondered if it was possible to see what the energies were surrounding his life and death by using these old style dates and comparing the charts.
Since neither timing is exact, these charts are totally speculative. But, surprisingly, they do demonstrate what may have happened, nevertheless. Accidentally, his natal North Node is at the position of his 11th birthday. His natal and ‘fatal’ Moons are within 2° in Cancer, with natal Neptune along for the ride. His ‘fatal’ North Node is conjunct his natal Pluto in Aries. His natal Jupiter and ‘fatal’ Jupiter are within 10°. His natal Sun is inconjunct his ‘fatal’ Moon, and his natal Mercury is inconjunct to his ‘fatal’ Venus. His natal Saturn/Pluto conjunction is inconjunct ‘fatal’ Mercury in Virgo.
The story was written in the stars, and now his story will be celebrated forever.
It’s been a long while since a film has cut me to the quick. In my teens, I watched “Romeo and Juliet” from the point-of-view of young love. Even “All Is True” a few years back helped me understand Will and Anne as an elderly couple at the end of their lives. “Hamnet” took me to a place that squarely shows what losing a child might mean for a parent. I cried.
Up until now, I have never understood why Shakespeare lived in London, while his wife and family lived in Stratford. Health of your children can be a great motivator. I did much the same with my second marriage, living in and around Ascot, while my family lived in Torquay. But three years of commuting on weekends was enough. I’m not sure I could have lived apart from them for years and years.
“Hamlet” is a powerful tragedy. On its own, it evokes what happens when a father is murdered, and then replaced by, a new stepfather. But Hamlet’s madness was not totally understandable, until you place its creation and production in the context of the aftermath of Hamnet’s death. Shakespeare was attempting to seek forgiveness for not being there when his son died. Hamlet, in this production, was the image of what Hamnet would have looked like had he survived. Agnes saw that right away when she and her brother, Bartholomew, attended the first showing of the play. Her grief was resolved by the end.
“The rest is silence.”
