In the twilight zone of wondering what the future will bring, I had a rough day yesterday. When Susan came to bed, she suggested that I stop thinking about it. It reminded me of this song:
Strange thought, this morning: I have a specific to-do list every day, mostly involving my morning rituals, but they are so routine that I have hardly any thought of what to do next. Hmm.
I guess they call that being in auto-pilot mode.
However, I am not unmindful. My constant thought has to do with what the Sun (in Apollo robes) told me I was to do daily in my Inner Guide Meditation: think about him. I do, constantly.
I’m well-aware that the Sun represents a God-like figure in the pantheon of my heavenly creatures. And because there’s a sun shining daily, in fair and foul weather, it isn’t hard to remember to reflect his light.
The MRI didn’t reveal why my PSA should be a 10 instead of a 5. Even the size of my prostate is only at 45% when a normal enlargement would be about 30%. There are two or three areas of my prostate that rate a scale of 4 out of 5. Taking a biopsy of those areas should settle the argument as to whether there are cancer cells there, and/or whether there are any cancer cells beyond the prostate.
The operation is yet to be scheduled. I’ll keep you informed.
Look, I’m only human. Even though the lyrics are speaking of hairstyles and beards in the United Kingdom in the late 60’s, early 70’s, I can be forgiven for thinking that it was a subtle political statement about the Labour and Conservative parties, considering that the final two lines speak of seeing the new boss, same as the old boss.
Looking at the MSM news this morning, I couldn’t figure out why there were so many posts about Lindsey Graham. Had he done something special? I wondered. Well, it turns out that he had: he died.
This event chart is rectified to Pluto transiting the Aquarius Ascendant. Venus is conjunct the South Node in the sign of Virgo in the 7th House (of Open Enemies), That conjunction represents the apex of a Yod (Finger of God), formed by inconjuncts to the Pluto/Ascendant conjunction and Neptune on its own. Lindsey Graham has always been a enigma in his life, and now is one in his death.
Dying only two days after one’s 71st birthday is quite an achievement. The North/South Node axis (Venus conjunction) of his death chart is aligned to his (randomized) Moon/Ascendant opposition in his birth chart. His time really was up.
“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.
Saturn Inconjunct 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.
