Nihilistic, for sure, but also spiritual, in its own way:
See if you agree.
“Dust In The Wind”
I close my eyes Only for a moment, and the moment’s gone All my dreams Pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind All they are is dust in the wind
Same old song Just a drop of water in an endless sea All we do Crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see
Dust in the wind All we are is dust in the wind
Now don’t hang on Nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky It slips away And all your money won’t another minute buy
Dust in the wind All we are is dust in the wind (All we are is dust in the wind) Dust in the wind (Everything is dust in the wind) Everything is dust in the wind (In the wind)
After 25 years, I’ve honed my karmic astrology skills. Today might be a good day to look with new eyes at the event chart of that day, using the timing of the first plane hitting the North Tower.
Certainly, if you wanted to capture the world’s attention, you couldn’t have a better timing for the first strike: Mercury conjunct the Libra Ascendant. But the Saturn trine Ascendant at an exact degree is significant. That exactitude is unusual. The Sun is inconjunct Uranus, bringing the element of surprise attack. The other inconjunct links Jupiter with Pluto, bringing the greatest amount of damage to the Towers, the city of New York and the whole country. Emotionally, the Moon is in opposition to Mars: the harbinger of the long-running war that was the follow. Notice which planet is un-aspected: Neptune.
To read my analysis, written in 2014, please refer to the final chapter of my eBook, “At This Point in Time”.
Oh, life, it’s bigger It’s bigger than you And you are not me The lengths that I will go to The distance in your eyes Oh, no, I’ve said too much I set it up
That’s me in the corner That’s me in the spotlight Losin’ my religion Tryin’ to keep up with you And I don’t know if I can do it Oh, no, I’ve said too much I haven’t said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try
Every whisper Of every waking hour
I’m choosin’ my confessions Tryin’ to keep an eye on you Like a hurt, lost, and blinded fool, fool Oh, no, I’ve said too much I set it up
Consider this Consider this, the hint of the century Consider this, the slip That brought me to my knees, failed What if all these fantasies come Flailing around? Now I’ve said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try
But that was just a dream That was just a dream
That’s me in the corner That’s me in the spotlight Losin’ my religion Tryin’ to keep up with you And I don’t know if I can do it Oh, no, I’ve said too much I haven’t said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try
But that was just a dream Try, cry, why try? That was just a dream Just a dream Just a dream, dream
Normally, I don’t visit random biographies of actresses born 130 years (or more) ago. But this person was highlighted in a Facebook post by an individual (Andrew Bassano Brewer)who saw “The Birth of the Nation” and thought that this actress reminded him of an actress who is alive at the present time.
There is a bit of confusion as to what year Gish was actually born. It turns out that she lied about her age to G.W. Griffith in 1912, suggesting that she was 16, when in fact she was 19. My computer program had her birth date as October 14, 1896, as a result. This birth chart is far more dynamic than that one was. There is one inconjunct, linking Uranus and Pluto. I guess lying at a young age came naturally to her.
Here’s the actress that is being linked with her reincarnationally.
It’s a failing on my part, but I’d never seen nor heard of this actress/producer before. But, I must admit, there is an uncanny resemblance to Lillian Gish.
What makes this interesting for me is the fact that another astrology site on Facebook highlighted this birth chart and asked if anyone recognized who the person might be. It was the Mars in the 12th House/Pluto in the 1st House combination which caught my eye. Saturn is the apex of a Yod, formed by inconjuncts to the Sun/North Node/Midheaven conjunction, and Mars. There is another inconjunct connecting Mercury and Uranus. Hmm.
But do the charts align?
Gish’s natal North Node is conjunct Sweeney’s Saturn, which then is inconjunct to Sweeney’s Sun/North Node and the Midheaven. Sweeney’s Ascendant is inconjunct Gish’s ‘fatal’ Ascendant (although that could be totally accidental, since I set her death time to noon).Gish’s natal Ascendant is also conjunct the Sun/North Node/Midheaven conjunction in Sweeney’s chart. Is it enough? Perhaps.
US Treasury Secretary Bessent called Canada a ”little yippy dog” on the weekend. Interesting. I guess size matters, but the comparison is “nasty”, Trump’s favourite word to describe Canadian negotiators.
It’s interesting how the dog breeds are both descendants of German dogs. Somehow, that figures.
The premise is simple, but effective. The humans only see sheep, but the minute they are on their own, they speak and act like people. And their owner, George, reads murder mysteries to them every night before bedtime. When George is found dead after a dark and stormy night, the flock, led by Lily (the smartest sheep in the world), go to work solving his murder. The problem is, how do they communicate their findings to the not very bright police officer, whose job it is to catch the killer?
Along the way, the sheep learn a thing or two about the world beyond their meadow, for example, when passing the church in the village, this discussion happened
Every good mystery has a reading of the will: this one is as funny as it gets.
I’ll leave the story here, so you can enjoy it for yourself. I noticed that the full film is available on YouTube, as well as Prime Video. Have a laugh.
I was watching the Corner DJ YouTube Memory Lane video featuring music from 1975, and this album cover showed up during the playing of Bad Company’s “Shooting Star”. I suddenly remembered that the opposing sides of a die always add up to 7. Spiritually, that’s significant.
Helianthus sunflower, close-up of central disc. The inward spiralling pattern of the disc florets are an example of a pattern based on the Fibonacci number series. This is a mathematical pattern that is common in nature and is named after the Italian mathematician Leonardo Fibonacci.

I caught a glimpse of an image on Facebook this morning which I’d never seen before. It was a closeup of the head of a sunflower which is made up of a series of five-petaled flowers developing over the growing season of the plant. How did I miss that?
Symbolically, this represents humanity both individually and collectively.
This other image from Facebook seems to show sunflowers at sunset, when, in fact, it must be sunrise, because the sunflowers are facing in the wrong direction: they always face the sun. Hmm, eh?
I wanted to focus on the upcoming midterm elections in the United States. Michael J. Fox’ quote came up. On the surface, every midterm election is a referendum of the ruling government at the time. In fact, if memory serves me, Biden’s people were worried about a rising Red Tide that didn’t materialize. That’s the warning here. Everyone is predicting a Democratic resurgence; after all, Trump’s approval rating (according to the polls) has dipped to the lowest of any president. But what if that just motivates Trump voters to stick with their preferred political party come November? When Michael said that optimism was a political act, it struck me that the ‘war’ against Iran is being spoken of by Trump’s minions as if it’s being won, every day. It’s an ‘act’, folks. Trump is a firm believer in the Power of Positive Thinking. If you say something often enough, truly believing it will happen, your optimistic point-of-view will win.
Yes, my prostate has early stages of cancer in three of the 12 samples taken during the biopsy.
This is a slow growing type of cancer. In fact, my doctor in Barrie thought something may be up with my prostate three years ago. She was going to send my file to a specialist, but nothing ever came of that referral. In 10 to 15 years, some symptoms may show themselves, but ‘something’ else could get me before then. I can have radiation but that sometimes causes more problems than it cures.
Nothing is written in stone, so we’ll take it one day at a time. Bless.
