Royal Wedding (July 29, 1981)

The History

Diana’s appearance as she walked up the cathedral steps to the cheers of the crowd more than justified the verse composed in her honour by the President of Zimbabwe, the Rev. Canaan Banana:

It was worth waiting for the one most fitting/ It was worth sweating for the one most soothing/ It was worth living for the one most loving…

‘The Trumpet Voluntary’ sounded; it was time for the bride to start her procession down the aisle, and it seemed less that she was on the arm of her father, Earl Spencer, than that he, shaky after the stroke he suffered in 1977, was drawing strength from the tall, triumphant daughter beside him. Her prince stood waiting for her beneath the great arch of the cathedral dome.

‘Dearly beloved,’ intoned the Dean of St Paul’s, and the marriage service had begun. It was relayed by loudspeakers to the crowds outside, and as the couple pledged themselves to one another, great roars rang out. When the bride said, ‘I will,’ the whole cathedral seemed to shake with the vast joy outside and, as she heard the roar, Lady Diana smiled.

“I pronounce that they be man and wife together,’ declared the Archbishop of Canterbury. Lady Diana Spencer was now the Princess of Wales. Outside Buckingham Palace the crowds were listening on their radios, and at the Archbishop’s words they rose to their feet and cheered.

[This chart is time corrected to 11:20 am, which changes the position of the Jupiter/Saturn conjunction to the 12th House. Mars is now in the 9th House conjunct the Midheaven.]

The Human Spirit

As Penny Thornton in her book, Synastry, so aptly points out, the links between the Royal Wedding chart, the composite and the natal charts of the Prince and Princess of Wales are quite staggering. Many astrologers have speculated that the date and time were chosen astrologically. I agree, even if this choice wasn’t made consciously by Charles and Diana.

For example, this chart’s Sun at 6° Leo conjoins Charles’ natal Ascendant and the couple’s composite Venus and opposes Diana’s Jupiter. This same Sun is also sextile the Royal Wedding Jupiter-Saturn-Ascendant conjunction. As we have seen before, Jupiter and Saturn, combined, seem to represent Britain, so this truly is a royal union. Even though Mars is square to this powerful conjunction, the marriage should be strong and binding. Venus is at the midpoint of the Sun and the Jupiter-Saturn-Ascendant combination, which signifies success in love. And, as a further bonus, the Sun stands at the midpoint of Venus and Mars – the archetypal signification of marriage and the successful physical union of male and female.

Another striking feature of this chart is the abundance of planets in the Tenth House. The Tenth House represents, in a Mundane Figure, the Chief Executive, as occupying the control-tower of the nation. Because the Moon resides here in this chart, ‘Mother’ figures strongly in the ‘job’. Someday, Charles will take over her role as ruler of Great Britain.

Wouldn’t we all like to offer (retrospectively) some advice to the married couple, especially about the bridegroom? Here’s what I would say: You want to be a person of some importance and, if possible, a leader. Even when you were young, you played this role whenever possible. (Sun in Leo) As you grew older, you trained for an occupation in which you could be your own boss or at least have quite a bit of independent authority. Your relationship with your father is very important. You are greatly influenced by his ways, although you occasionally disagree with him and try to rebel. (Sun in 10th) At times success will seem to fall into your lap without any special effort, which may cause you to think that the world owes you a living. (Sun Sextile Jupiter) You like to be either alone or with serious persons like yourself. (Sun Sextile Saturn) You are also quite sociable and outgoing, fond of getting around and meeting people. (Sun Sextile Ascendant)

You may play the role of parent to many people later on in life. (Moon in Cancer) Your mother has a great influence upon your life, shaping your basic attitudes and, even more important, your ideas of what values are significant and what is worth doing in life. This position is very good for a career in politics, or any career that puts you before the public, because you can win people over and get them to agree with your ideas. This position also means that you may be interested in farming. (Moon in 10th) You are likely to have quite a temper and fly off the handle easily. However, if you get in the habit of suppressing your angry feelings, they can build up to quite a fierce level and even become destructive in your life later on. You may react to threats that are more imagined than real if an innocent remark or action triggers off any angry reaction in your mind. (Moon Conjunct Mars) Your mother may have more to do with the career you choose than your father. (Moon Conjunct Midheaven) You are bored by fads and much more concerned with proven ideas. (Mercury in Cancer) You may be attracted to a career in traveling, communications or transportation or to a job that involves much public speaking. You are quite good at expressing opinions that you share with others. (Mercury in 10th) You may be attracted to offbeat subjects such as the occult or psychic studies. Others consider your views very strange, but you work with your ideas until you get as much as possible out of them. This is because you are really interested in these ideas, but also because you enjoy surprising or even shocking others. (Mercury Trine Uranus) You should always have a quiet place where you can be alone with your thoughts. (Mercury Inconjunct Neptune) You have to be careful about how you talk to people, because they may feel that you are trying to push them into an opinion or point of view that they don’t agree with. You may do this without realizing it until people react to what you say with great hostility, even though your words are innocent. (Mercury Square Pluto)

You must learn not to reject everything and everyone that does not live up to your high standards of beauty or of duty in relationships. And you may be overly critical of your friends. (Venus in Virgo) You are an excellent team player in any activity you get involved in, whether it is sports or work projects. (Venus in 11th) You are not attracted to people who do not share your love of intense experience or who seem afraid of life. You find less active people quite frustrating. (Venus Sextile Mars) Sometimes this aspect is a sign of artistic ability, especially if other areas of your chart reinforce this theme. Even at worst, you have a strong sense of beauty and a love of beautiful objects. (Venus Sextile Midheaven)

What you do depends on your moods to an unusual degree. When you are feeling positive and cheerful, you act confidently and assertively. But when you are depressed, you are more retiring and much more irritable. Also you may keep your anger in to the point that you begin to feel a permanent grudge against the other person. You work very hard to preserve a value from the past that you respect, because you are conservative in the best sense of the word. (Mars in Cancer) [When you are older, you may look for a cause that you can defend. You are much more likely to fight for an ideal than for yourself, so you must be careful about the cause you choose. (Mars in 9th)] This is usually a very positive aspect, but you must develop some self-control. Otherwise you will take foolish risks that cannot possibly work out, even physical risks that could lead to an accident. (Mars Square Jupiter) Anger and irritation are often a problem with this aspect, because the action of Saturn inhibits the action of Mars. Be careful that you do not let your anger build up so far that it takes over. You don’t lose your temper easily, but when you do, you do it spectacularly. But bitterness can distort your vision and make the whole world look bad. It also causes you to withdraw from others and become unreachable. Sometimes the effects of this aspect surface on the physical level as a tendency to break bones easily. (Mars Square Saturn) This aspect either leads to frequent disputes and disagreements with people or to feeling frustrated or futile if you try to hold in your anger and resentment in everyday contacts, leading to a feeling that it is you against the world, unless you find out what you have in common with others and how to cooperate with them. (Mars Square Ascendant)

One final word with respect to the Mercury-Neptune Inconjunct:

The challenge of this aspect is to make your thinking and communication with others much clearer; otherwise you will have a lonely life.

Battle of Britain (July 10, 1940)

The History

On June 22, 1940, France surrendered to Germany. Britain now stood alone. A German invasion seemed certain. In a speech to [the House of] Commons on the day after France asked Germany for an armistice, Winston Churchill, the prime minister, declared:

“Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will say, ‘This was their finest hour.’”

The Germans had to defeat the Royal Air Force (RAF) before they could invade across the English Channel. On July 10, the German Luftwaffe (air force) began to bomb British airfields and ports.

Adolf Hitler expected the British to surrender, but they fought on in spite of continual air raids by German bombers. He kept delaying an invasion of Britain. Instead, he sent his armies rolling over Yugoslavia and Greece.

In September, the Luftwaffe began nightly raids on London. While the battle raged, Churchill turned up everywhere, holding up two fingers in a ‘V for victory’ salute. To the people of all the Allied nations, this simple gesture became an inspiring symbol of faith in eventual victory.

The RAF, badly outnumbered, fought bravely and finally defeated the Luftwaffe. Churchill expressed the nation’s gratitude to its airmen:

“Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.”

Miller, Christopher. At This Point in Time: Charting the History of the Human Spirit (pp. 24-25). BookBaby. Kindle Edition.

[The Midheaven was 20° Aries in the original, published chart in the e-book, inconjunct to the Moon/Neptune conjunction.]

The Human Spirit

This chart has the peculiar feature of having all the planets situated in the Eastern hemisphere, the one nearest the Ascendant. This means all of the chart’s energy is concentrated there, symbolic of Hitler’s forces which were deployed to the eastern front, during that time.

Three separate conjunctions encompass the spirit of the battle: the Moon-Neptune connection seems to represent Germany, the nations and their people; the Jupiter-Saturn alignment stands for Britain and her allies; and the Mercury-Mars-Pluto-Ascendant conjunction symbolises Hitler and his war and propaganda machines. Interestingly, the symbol of the air force, Uranus, although trine to the Moon-Neptune conjunction, is situated nearest to, but unaspected with, the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction, which, in turn, is square to the Ascendant. The battle lines were clearly drawn, so to speak. So, I have split the analysis into three parts.

Germany: Probably you will be attracted most strongly to people who are quite unusual. (Moon Trine Uranus) Unless you make an effort to separate reality and dreams, you may start telling lies without really seeming to, particularly if you are trying to avoid something unpleasant. You are especially attracted to people who are not very well thought of by others, particularly if you feel you can help them. (Moon Conjunct Neptune) Your emotional needs may be in conflict with your long-term goals. (Moon Inconjunct Midheaven) Because you won’t stand up for your rights, you are likely to attract persons who are not very good for you. [Third comment about this!] Sometimes this pattern means that you look for someone who can solve all your problems, someone ‘perfect’ whom you can look up to. The problem is that the relationship is based on your imagined unworthiness, not on reality. (Venus Square Neptune) Your natural tendency is to yield to authority, so that those people who are most influential in your life should be very careful about how they exercise their authority over you. If they try to control you too much, or if they make you feel that you just aren’t able to manage your own affairs, it will be difficult to correct the effects of this negative influence later. (Neptune Inconjunct Midheaven)

Britain: When you take up a task, you follow it through systematically and thoroughly. You can stick to a job longer than most others, and you can keep track of many details at once. However, when things go wrong you may often wait too long to assert yourself, and it may be more difficult to correct a problem if you put up with it too long. (Jupiter Conjunct Saturn) This aspect usually works out very well, for it enables you to make a favourable impression on others and to benefit through others all your life. However, sometimes you may get so wrapped up in your own personal needs and desires that you demand more from others than you give back in return. If this tendency goes too far, it would negate most of the good effects of this aspect. It is only when you feel that your personal life is in trouble that you are likely to become selfish. (Jupiter Square Ascendant) Certainly you are not incompetent, but you tend to feel that the demands of life, specifically those made by other people, are so high that you cannot live up to them. Rather than let people know you have failed to achieve perfection, you withdraw from them. (Saturn Square Ascendant)

Hitler: You like to be the center of attention, to appear strong, confident and dominant, the leader, and you can be a good one as long as you remember that leadership is a responsibility as well as power and privilege. You can be stubborn, especially if your pride is involved. (Leo Rising) You decide on your position and jump to a conclusion. And being an argumentative person, you always stand up for what you believe. You have a sharp tongue, which you should use carefully, for the way you say things can start many a battle. You must learn to state your case without forcing others to defend themselves against you. (Mercury Conjunct Mars) Your thinking is likely to be rash and sloppy, so you get tripped up by details that you overlook. (Mercury Square Jupiter) You will have to be careful that the ideas you spread are not harmful. If you try to force people to come around to your way of thinking, they may get so angry that they will fight you on any issue that comes up. No matter what you say, they will oppose you. (Mercury Conjunct Pluto) Your mind is very active but does not work best when you are alone. You need others to give you ideas and stimulate your thinking, and you do this for others in return. (Mercury Conjunct Ascendant) If you don’t get your way, you may lose your temper. You may decide that getting your own way is the most important thing in life and that the only way to get it is by controlling others. Unless you are taught to have a high regard for other peoples’ rights, you may trample upon them. But in that case people are likely to gang up on you and try to stop you at every turn. (Mars Conjunct Pluto) You have all the classic qualities of Mars – self-reliance, courage and daring, personal aggressiveness and independence. These energies have caused you, even while young, to dislike anything that seems soft and weak. (Mars Conjunct Ascendant) You have to choose between being someone who works for positive change and reform or a person whose drive for power makes you dominate others strictly for personal gain. If you follow the latter course, people will fear your energies and will band together to stop you. Such opposition can render you totally ineffective. (Pluto Conjunct Ascendant)

Moon Landing (July 20, 1969)

The History

The moon is a moving target. It travels around the earth at more than 2,000 miles per hour. During Apollo 11’s three-day journey, the moon moved more than 165,000 miles. Therefore, the spacecraft was aimed at a spot in space 165,000 miles ahead of the moon – and it had to reach this spot at exactly the same time that the moon did.

Apollo 11 lifted off launch pad 39A at Cape Kennedy at 9:32 a.m. (Eastern Daylight-Saving Time) on July 16, 1969. On board were Astronauts Neil A. Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Edwin E. (Buzz) Aldrin, Jr.

At 1:45 p.m. (EDST) on July 20, 1969 the Lunar Module (LM) Eagle, with Armstrong and Aldrin aboard, separated from the spacecraft Columbia. By 4:17 p.m. of the same day, the Eagle landed on the moon on the rocky plain called the Sea of Tranquility. At 10:56 p.m. Armstrong set foot as the first man on the moon, stating,

“One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”

Later, at 11:14 p.m., Aldrin joined Armstrong on the moon’s surface in order to collect lunar samples and set up scientific experiments. Aldrin described the view of the moon from the surface as “magnificent desolation.” At 12:50 p.m. on July 24, 1969, Apollo 11 splashed down in the Pacific Ocean.

Miller, Christopher. At This Point in Time: Charting the History of the Human Spirit (p. 16). BookBaby. Kindle Edition.

The Human Spirit

This is a very interesting chart. For one thing, it is a bit difficult to erect a chart for an event that happened on the moon. Literally, all aspects that have to do with the moon are null and void because the chart takes the point of view of someone standing at Cape Kennedy, (now Cape Canaveral) Florida, at the time and date specified, and the Ascendant and Midheaven would not apply.

So, except for an inconjunct aspect between Saturn and the Moon, all the remaining planets are in beneficial aspect to each other: altogether there are five conjunctions, eight sextiles and four trines. These aspects, when drawn on the chart, show up as a double-pointed arrow, directed mainly at the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction at 0° Libra in the Seventh House. This is the sign of cosmic reciprocity, of cooperation rather than competition, of consciousness objectified through associations and partnerships. Jupiter is the principle of expansion and growth as expressed in the accumulation of material wealth, but without the miserliness of a marked Saturnian trait; a balance of feeling and thought, of heart and mind, that yields…hopefulness. Uranus gives the perseverance to cope with and conquer material obstacles, yet is subject to sudden changes of attitude; eminently the planet of science and invention, particularly aviation, electricity, and astrology. To me, this conjunction represents NASA (the National Aeronautics and Space Administration), an agency of the United States government established to direct and aid civilian research and development in aeronautics and aerospace technology. Their first target was landing a man on the moon.

To the First Man on the Moon, I would say: You probably have a secret, quiet place that is all your own, where you can go and be alone with your thoughts. (Sun in Cancer). Anything new is somehow more interesting than what is old, and you particularly enjoy making innovations yourself. (Sun Conjunct Mercury) In group activities, you are at your best either as a leader or working independently. (Sun Trine Mars) Almost everything you do and everyone around you will be affected by your ability to see life on a grand scale and to put it all into proper perspective. (Sun Sextile Jupiter) You enjoy tinkering with machinery and want to know as much as possible about how every gadget works. (Sun Sextile Uranus) You feel a great need to see something in the world besides the material facts that are taught in school. And because you are unusually sensitive to anything mystical, you may very well find it. (Sun Trine Neptune)

When you are emotionally upset, your whole view of the world changes. (Mercury in Cancer) Probably you will be interested in foreign places and people, and you may love to travel. (Mercury Sextile Jupiter) Discovery gives you pleasure. (Mercury Sextile Uranus) You can see beauty in the world that is hidden from others. Also you are an idealist who dreams of a better world in which all the problems of this one have been solved. (Mercury Trine Neptune) This aspect will help your career, because you convince people of your point of view without making them feel that you are pushing them around. (Mercury Sextile Pluto)

You will have many more opportunities than most people, and favourable circumstances will seem to occur without any effort on your part. (Mars Sextile Jupiter) An extremely independent person, you need to be free to go your own way. Also, you are a very high-energy person who hates to sit still. (Mars Sextile Uranus) At its highest level of expression, this aspect signifies a willingness to put your own affairs second to higher, more spiritual principles. (Mars Conjunct Neptune)

You don’t mind going off in a new direction by yourself if no one else wants to follow you. According to your liberal temperament, everyone should be allowed to be themselves. (Jupiter Conjunct Uranus) You have a strong drive to achieve something of significance, and you want to have the power to make positive and creative changes in your world. Most people with this aspect find that it provides considerable help in making a name for themselves. (Jupiter Conjunct Pluto)

This aspect undoubtedly signifies a generation of children who will have very powerful effects upon the rest of the culture, for they will be revolutionaries in the truest sense. They will be very eager and restless for change, but at the same time patient enough to learn how to really bring it about. They will undoubtedly have a very powerful impact on everyone in society. (Uranus Conjunct Pluto)

I think Man’s first steps on the moon were ‘allowed’ by the Cosmos, as a glimpse of our possibilities. I wrote the following in a poem, Off Base:

I think that we should not be too concerned/ With distant interplanetary life,/ At least for three or four more earthly years;/ I feel, as yet, we haven’t really learned/ To conquer all our worldly woes and strife,/ To help appease our apprehensive fears.

This is as true now as it was in 1969 when I wrote the poem; before we ‘conquer’ space, we must cooperate and get our act together on earth.

“D-Day” Invasion (June 6, 1944)

The History

Dwight D. Eisenhower chose Monday, June 5 1944, as D-Day, the date for invading Europe. The success of the invasion depended heavily on calm seas and clear skies. On Saturday, June 3, the weather turned bad. Weather experts reported that gusty winds and high waves would make it impossible for landing craft to cross the English Channel on Monday. Eisenhower ordered a 24-hour delay until Tuesday, June 6. On Sunday, the weatherman predicted calmer weather for the next 48 hours, but poor conditions after that.

Eisenhower faced one of the gravest decisions of the entire war. He could send the first wave of troops across the channel as planned. Or he could postpone the entire operation for two weeks, until the channel would have low tides again. But, by then, the closely guarded invasion secret would probably have leaked out.

At 4 a.m. on June 5, Eisenhower held a final staff meeting. This chief of staff, Brigadier General Walter Bedell Smith, later wrote: “…He sat there…tense, weighing every consideration…Finally, he looked up, and the tension was gone from his face. He said briskly, ‘Well, we’ll go.’”

The first wave of troops crossed the choppy channel at 6:30 a.m. on June 6, 1944. By nightfall, the Allies had a firm hold on a long area of beach. After 11 months of bloody fighting, Germany surrendered on May 7, 1945.

Miller, Christopher. At This Point in Time: Charting the History of the Human Spirit (p. 10). BookBaby. Kindle Edition.

The Human Spirit

There are a couple of features about this chart which first caught my eye. For instance, there is a Sun, Venus and Uranus conjunction opposed by the Moon. At a harmonious angle to this opposition is a powerful Pluto-Mars conjunction. And conjunct to the Ascendant is that old task-master Saturn.

To me, the most significant of these aspects is the one which is the conjunction between Pluto and Mars. In March of 1987, the Townsend Thoresen ferry, Herald of Free Enterprise capsized outside Zeebrugge during a very violent storm. This storm happened during the time of a Mars-Pluto opposition. That same evening, Friday the 6th, I was on an Intercity train bound for Newton Abbot at the height of the storm. The train was delayed at Dawlish due to huge waves lapping the tracks. Somehow, the Mars-Pluto connection causes ‘bad weather’ and all anyone can do is sit out the storm. So, too, with the Mars-Pluto conjunction in 1944: the weather was stormy on the day of the exact alignment, the 3rd of June, but cleared when this aspect became sextile (60°) to the Sun-Venus-Uranus conjunction and trine (120°) to the Moon on the 6th. At the same time, Saturn, the timekeeper, came to the horizon (i.e. conjunct to the Ascendant) and said, “Now!”

If Operation Overlord were a person, I would have shared this analysis with him about his Sun (analyses based on Robert Hand’s Planets in Youth): You enjoy games, especially ones that require you to match wits with someone else. A very playful person, you sometimes like to play tricks on other people. (Sun in Gemini)

A shy person, you prefer to stay in the background if possible; in fact, you like to hide. It’s hard for you to be open and direct, even when you know there is nothing to be afraid of. (Sun in 12th House).

You will learn to understand yourself through opposition to the world and other people, perhaps through fighting. You always fight for what you believe to be right. You respect people who make solid worldly achievements that have concrete, observable results, people who complete large-scale projects that everyone can point to. (Sun Opposition Moon)

You tend to compromise to keep the peace, even when there is a serious issue to be worked out. At times it is necessary to confront people directly and forcefully; otherwise people may not take you seriously, or they may try to walk all over you. (Sun Conjunct Venus)

You may act as a goad to others, because you like to rile people up a bit and make them see the world differently. You are very annoyed by people who seem to be stuck in the mud, and you want to do something to change them. (Sun Conjunct Uranus)

Quite literally, the choice of “D-Day” must have been inspired. But by whom? Was someone in the War Office consulting an Astrologer? Or was Dwight D. Eisenhower ‘tuned-in’ to the Cosmos? Whatever the answers are to these questions, there can be no doubt that the outcome of World War II hinged on the timing of the Normandy landings. It must have been at such a time as this that the leaders of the Allied forces thanked their lucky stars!

The Words Behind the Fool’s Journey in Tarot

Posted on April 29, 2026 by cdsmiller17

God Favors the Fool by Elena Olympia Collins (2026)

I’m about two-thirds of the way through the text of this latest offering from Ellie. I haven’t found one error in spelling, syntax or grammar. That makes this reading an easy ride, as I accompany the Fool.

Ellie’s use of ancient myths and stories adds an element that is far more informative than I was expecting. Most I had heard of and/or had read previously, but a couple were new to me, and that’s always a nice surprise when it comes to my further education.

This is a great source book for understanding how Tarot works and what it means in the modern day.

“Pixie” would have been so proud.

Unfortunately, This May Not Have Been a “False Flag”

Posted on April 28, 2026 by cdsmiller17

Cole Tomas Allen (April 11, 1995)

I don’t normally look at perpetrators of recent presidential assassination attempts. This man’s manifesto seemed to be written by a man in his sound mind, responding to the intense media circus surrounding all things Trump. But why did it all go awry?

Since his birth time is unknown, I randomized the chart. Pluto at 0° Sagittarius (‘perhaps’ conjunct the Ascendant) is an interesting echo with Trump’s (2) chart; Venus and Saturn conjunct, both in opposition to the Moon and the ‘perhaps’ Midheaven, with Venus also inconjunct Mars. Interesting.

It looks like Cole Allen didn’t fully think this action out. Yes, the planning was there, but ‘rushing’ a security checkpoint may have been his undoing (his Uranus is inconjunct the event Moon). If there’d been another way, I’m sure he would have found it (his Moon is inconjunct the event Saturn, while his Midheaven is inconjunct the event Mars). There are other connections between the charts that suggest that it was yet another ‘perfect storm’ of energy. Finally, his South Node is conjunct the event Sun. That makes this karmic.

Interesting smirk. I thought you weren’t allowed to smile when you have official photos taken, as this one is supposedly from his driver’s licence, Is he an inveterate rule-breaker?

Is This a Case of History Repeating Itself?

Posted on April 27, 2026 by cdsmiller17

Ronald Reagan Assassination Attempt (March 30, 1981)

I didn’t put these two events together, someone else did, and I’m grateful for their connecting the dots.

Here’s the event chart:

That Sun/Mars conjunction in Aries is so evocative. Surprisingly, there are no inconjuncts.

What the other astrologer noted was the fact that Reagan’s event Midheaven was echoed as the Descendant in the WHCD shooting, while the Ascendant of Reagan’s event was at the WHCD Midheaven. If you view these charts reversed, it might make more sense.

What is unmistakable is the link between the WHCD Pluto being conjunct Reagan’s shooting South Node. And Reagan’s event Sun/Mars conjunction is in the middle of the WHCD Mars/Saturn conjunction Hmm. Nothing is coincidental; nothing is an accident.

Does This Look Suspicious? Of Course, It Does

Posted on April 26, 2026 by cdsmiller17

Shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner (April 25, 2026)

With all the recent discussion about whether the 2024 Butler assassination attempt was faked, the events of last night bring us back into the realms of a staged shooting.

Trump seems nonplussed. Either that, or his responses suggest that he is totally unaware of the danger.

It’s interesting that Uranus was in the final degree of Taurus. Hmm. The Mercury/Mars conjunction in Aries was inconjunct to the Scorpio Ascendant. Hmm, again. Even the Moon is in on the act: final degree of Leo, conjunct to the Midheaven. If Trump hasn’t engineered this event, someone else has.

But who? Trump’s Pluto is inconjunct the event Sun, and Trump’s Moon is inconjunct the event Jupiter. The only other direct connection is the event Moon transiting Trump’s Mars. It’s also informative that Trump’s Neptune is in the midpoint opposition to the event Saturn/Neptune conjunction. Suspicious.

I’m tempted to go whole hog and say that this was a manufactured situation to give Trump maximum sympathy (again). Why to I write that? Because this is the very first attendance at the WHCD in six years of his presidency. I guess they take us all for fools.

Their Secrets were Hiding in Plain Sight

Trust Me: The False Prophet (2026)

With all the Epstein questions swirling around the elites in the United States, it’s informative (and upsetting) that polygamy, as a religious freedom, can hide sexual trafficking of juvenile females.

Think “Sister Wives” for young women and girls.

For those not aware, the FLDS referred to in the following YouTube preview stands for Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

The “trust me” of the title is not about the false prophet, but the woman who almost singlehandedly took him down. Some would say she betrayed their trust, but, from her point of view, she was just trying to liberate them from a very abusive situation.

Be warned, this docuseries on Netflix is very disturbing. Watch at your own peril.

Could a Prior Life Help Explain What Happened?

Posted on April 24, 2026 by cdsmiller17

John Bainbridge

It’s been nagging at me since David Wilcock took his own life on Monday: could an Edgar Cayce prior life help us understand what happened to David? Although we don’t have biological details that would aid us in our investigation, we do have information from Edgar Cayce, himself.

According to a Cayce reading, “Bainbridge, the entity, in the material sojourn, was a wastrel, one who considered only himself, having to know the extremes in his own experience, as well as in others.” Bainbridge was a charismatic Englishman who was sent into Canadian military service, from which he escaped. He traveled as an adventurer and wanderer, and “many suffered in his wake” through “many escapades that have to do with those of the nature of the relations with the opposite sex.” Cayce was warned in his readings that he could sabotage his positive spiritual benefit in his Cayce lifetime if he yielded to his more base desires. According to Harmon Bro in A Seer Out of Season, “the legacy of his life in colonial America could detonate within him, damaging both him and others.”

On the surface, Cayce lived an exemplary life. In addition to his thousands of readings, he was a regular visitor to prisons, taught Sunday school, and never missed an opportunity to display compassion and caring. (Wilcock also frequently lectured at a New Age church in Virginia Beach on Sundays and worked for two years with the developmentally disabled.) But despite Cayce’s positive accomplishments, his struggles with his dark side and negative habits were always apparent, to those in his immediate sphere. His Source gave him complete dietetic regimens, which he ignored, as well as suggestions to avoid worrying, which he was largely unable to carry out.

In spite of his good works and the blessings he bestowed on so many via his readings, Cayce seemed to suffer low self-esteem, which kept him in continuing financial difficulties through most of his life until his death in 1945. He was a chain smoker and a workaholic, often plowing ahead for such long periods of time that his physical health was severely compromised. He never had enough confidence in his own psychic abilities to charge anything beyond a small donation for his readings, and all attempts to use the readings for profit, such as digging for treasure or oil, ended in disaster. Cayce agreed with his readings’ perspective that his problems were due to the necessity of balancing the excesses that he had accumulated in his Bainbridge life.

Now we flash forward to the life of David Wilcock. Wilcock definitely has a sense of his destiny. He is a man on a mission. He is clearly a workaholic, often failing to leave his computer long enough to turn on the lights once the room has become dark. He has received numerous instructions and counsels in his readings (to himself), which correlate very well with all the life issues that plagued Cayce. Wilcock speaks candidly about his conflicts in his online book Wanderer Awakening, where he reveals the process of his self-discovery in his formative years. Thousands of pages of his online books are downloadable for free. Although he has already done readings for a few hundred people at the time of this writing, he has been told by his Source that readings are not to be his principal service. Planet Earth is in the process of a dimensional shift, and his most effective role would be as a leader, one of a team of “liberators,” who help guide humankind through the changes taking place. Wilcock is presently laying the groundwork for his own part as a liberator with his soon-to-be-published scientific research, his client readings, his Web presentations, international lecture tours, and now the creation of a complete CG-animated DVD series to illustrate his Convergence work; but he would be the first to acknowledge that he has personal obstacles to be processed, cleared, and removed before he can fully own this potential destiny.

It’s funny how details get stuck in the back of my mind, waiting for a ‘trigger’ to bring them back to the forefront of my thinking. What am I referring to? Suicide.

We can refer to a comment by Harmon Bro about Cayce:

Evidently real damage to the soul’s growth had been done by the suicide [in a previous lifetime, when he was shamed in a position of authority], in the readings’ view, leaving a wound of self-doubt which would correspond to what we encountered at times as Cayce’s hunger for attention and confirmation just below the surface of his personality. And the self-violence of suicide had magnified, the readings indicated, a tendency to a “quick temper,” with its “unexpected” flashing out at even those closest to him.

When we perceive David Wilcock expressing self-doubt or difficult financial straits, we can intuit how he’s still working out the leftover karma from the life where he committed suicide, as well as his Cayce and Bainbridge lifetimes.

So, when people say that David would never take his own life, they’re not looking at the bigger picture.
