It’s What They Call the Television Set in the UK

Posted on March 21, 2026 by cdsmiller17

Gogglebox (2014 to present)

At the moment Bell TV is offering free previews of some of its channels. Last night, we watched an episode of this show from some time earlier in its latest season on a channel called “Cottage TV”. Because “Gogglebox” follows “The Graham Norton Show” we just kept on watching. Here’s the episode that aired on UK television, according to the title. As it features some St. Patrick’s Day clothing, it seems topically up-to-date.

What I like about the show is the candid, but diverse, British humour. Their reactions are similar to how my wife and I respond to what we’re watching. For instance, while reviewing a clip of a program called “Educating Greater Manchester” (or I think it was), a boy acting up in class was diagnosed with ADHD, after hearing that he came to school loaded up on sugary cereal, with added sugar. After his diet was changed, he seemed much calmer. Susan said, “He reminds me of a young Macaulay Culkin.” Almost immediately, one of the Gogglebox watchers said the same thing.

While thinking about the name Gogglebox, I thought of Honeysuckle Weeks from “Goggle Eyes”.

The year was 1993, and the main character, Kitty, always reminds me of my daughter, Rosanna. I believe she watched this show, too. A grownup Honeysuckle Weeks played Doyle’s driver on “Doyle’s War”.

Isn’t it funny how the mind works?

This Incident Already had “…Gate” in its Name

Posted on March 20, 2026 by cdsmiller17

Oceangate Titan Implodes (June 18, 2023)

This event was documented on the CBC’s “Nature of Things” last night. What a way to go!

My unconscious made the link before I did, consciously. The Titanic striking an iceberg and the Titan imploding are karmically connected, I’ll show you what I mean by that. First the Titan event:

Mars transiting the Leo Ascendant probably tells the tale. But the important aspects involve the Sun and the Moon being conjunct to each other and both inconjunct to Pluto. This was an accident waiting to happen. Jupiter is separating from the Midheaven in Taurus, with Uranus on the other side, waiting to be involved. Venus conjunct Mars isn’t good either. Now let’s compare this event with the Titanic hitting the iceberg.

Titanic’s Jupiter is on the Titanic event horizon! And the Titan Sun is (almost exactly) conjunct Titanic’s Pluto. Even Titanic’s Uranus is about 4° of Titan’s Pluto. And the Titanic’s Moon is conjunct Titan’s Neptune. “The arrogance…” This is pure and simple hubris: God is not mocked.

The Day Pompeii Died

Posted on March 19, 2026 by cdsmiller17

Mount Vesuvius Erupts (October 26-27, 79 AD [OS])

We saw the tail end of a documentary last night, which examined the remains of Pompeii after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Small details were already embedded in my mind, suggesting that my life in the 1st century may have been still operating. For instance, the eruption happened in the middle of the day. And the late October dating makes the most sense, as later research proved. I chose October 27 [OS] which equates to October 25 [NS]. This YouTube video suggests October 31 [OS]. Who knows?

Here’s the chart I erected for the event:

I know it sounds like Roman propaganda, but the Roman god, Jupiter, may have played a major role that day, after all. The planet Jupiter is inconjunct to both the Sun and the Midheaven in Scorpio. At the same time, Mercury is inconjunct to Mars. Up Jupiter! Up Mars!

The second coming of Christ (Titus) occurred when he became Roman Emperor at the end of June 79 AD, so he would have seen this devastation for himself. Strange how Karma works, eh?

They “Eloped” with about 40 Family and Friends

Posted on March 18, 2026 by cdsmiller17

John F Kennedy Jr and Carolyn Bessette (September 21, 1996)

We watched a 2019 documentary last night, called “The Lost Tapes”. It was on Netflix. It may have also been featured on other sites, previously, and can be seen on YouTube:

It made me ponder whether their future tragedy was started on this (2 hour delayed) event:

Neptune transiting the Capricorn Ascendant speaks of two things, at the same time: the secrecy involved to effectively hide the event from the paparazzi; and the Kennedy curse which has claimed the lives of so many family members. The Moon is inconjunct Venus, while Mars is inconjunct Jupiter. The Moon and Jupiter are bother in the 12th House (of the Unconscious), and Venus and Mars are in the 7th House (of Open Enemies). The Sun had not yet set by the time they got married, but the chapel had no lighting and the windows were painted white. Those facts also seem symbolic.

At first glance, I would say that these two events are connected. How could they not be?

What “Eyes Wide Shut” Tells Us About Its Director

Posted on March 17, 2026 by cdsmiller17

Stanley Kubrick {July 26, 1928 – March 7, 1999)

I can honestly say that I’ve seen most of Stanley Kubrick’s films, but not all of them. I never saw “Eyes Wide Shut” on purpose, because of the implied Satanic ritual near the end. But is it any different than “Rosemary’s Baby” by Roman Polansky? We have a silent fear that the Devil may actually be the Demiurge, the ruler of this physical world.

Most astrology sites have 1:41 pm or no time. They have overlooked an important clue: Kubrick married his first wife when he was only 19. Placing Venus at that point in his chart gives us a 9 pm birth time, and reveals a dynamic that makes the most sense about the man.

Mercury (conjunct to Pluto in Cancer) is inconjunct to Saturn near the cusp of his Midheaven (conjunct to the South Node). I’m not surprised that he had no interest in school. At the same time, Pluto is inconjunct his Aquarius Ascendant, and Jupiter is inconjunct to the Midheaven. The future fastidious director of motion pictures is highlighted here. Neptune and Venus flanking each side of his Descendant gives the paranoid feeling of his secretive nature.

Swan Song, indeed. One day I’ll watch the whole film, but until then, I’ll leave the interpretation of it to others.

“Just a Weird Movie” or a Ritual Re-Enactment

Posted on March 16, 2026 by cdsmiller17

Eyes Wide Shut (1999)

This is the final one of a series of questionable occurrences that have controversies about them. There are theories that Stanley Kubrick was ‘eliminated’ within days of the longer (almost four hour) final cut being previewed by studio executives and others. The date of that preview was supposedly March 1, 1999, six days before Kubrick’s death. If you go looking for ‘proof’ there is a YouTube video which purports to be the first person testimony of the projectionist for that preview. His memory is that forty minutes were removed and shorter sequences reshot, in order to hide the identities of some of the masked individuals who performed the ritual dance featured near the end of the film. (I’m not sharing it here, because I have no ‘proof’.)

With all the ritual abuse of young women (and girls) being uncovered these days, Kubrick may have been trying to show us that there is a level of the social order that actually worships Satan, or something resembling that. So, to see what the energies were on the day of the preview, I set the time for 8 pm GMT.

For those with ‘eyes wide open’, the signs are there. What do you think?

A “Secret” Social Club for the Elite?

Posted on March 15, 2026 by cdsmiller17

Skull and Bones (December 1832)

And speaking of esoteric (and strange) social gatherings, the Yale fraternity, Skull and Bones, has for a long time been the subject of speculation of what exactly goes on there.

Conspiracy theorists would have a field day with the whole idea of an elite secret society. My ears perked up at the mention of 15 members, What could be the significance of that number?

Oh, right…

Since the exact date in December, 1832 isn’t known for the creation of this fraternity, I took the middle of the day in the middle of the month to see what the astrological energies were. The Ides of December.

Anything this chart reveals is completely accidental, if such a thing exists.

There is one inconjunct, linking the Sun and Mars. Interesting. There are two T-squares: the Sun/Midheaven conjunction is the apex of the Ascendant/Jupiter opposition Saturn aspect; and Mercury is the apex of the Moon opposition Pluto one. And, for good measure, Neptune is almost exactly conjunct the South Node in Capricorn. That feels significant, at so many levels.

What do you think?

“Old Boys” Summer Camp or Something Else?

Posted on March 13, 2026 by cdsmiller17

Bohemian Grove (June 29, 1878)

There has been a lot of speculation as to what goes on behind the secrecy of Bohemian Grove. Conspiracy theorists suspect that the fate of the world is decided here. At face value, that would seem a reasonable assumption. But tales of ritual sacrifices under the gaze of the giant stone owl begs the question: is this a place of satanic worship, at least, or criminal behaviour, at worst?

David Icke wrote about this site, years ago:

Saturn Grove

I have written at length over the years about a place called Bohemian Grove in Sonoma County, about 75 miles north of San Francisco. The self-styled ‘Elite’ assemble here every year for a ‘summer camp’ in 2,700 acres of redwood forest where they perform their rituals to Saturn/Satan – the Demiurge. Most of the make-up-the-numbers ‘grovers’ won’t know this, but the major players do. These include the Rockefellers, the Rothschilds, the Bush family and a Who’s Who of the rich and famous that I have named in other books who are from a particular hybrid bloodline that serves the Archontic agenda. The focal point of these rituals is a 40-foot stone owl symbolic of the ancient satanic ‘god’, Moloch/Molech. The ancients sacrificed children in fire to Moloch and this theme is recorded in the Bible – ‘And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God …’ (Leviticus:18:21). This is also the origin of the Wicker Man in Celtic ritual in which children were sacrificed through immolation.

Icke, David. The Perception Deception – Part One . David Icke Books Limited. Kindle Edition.

So I decided to look at the event that started this use of the Bohemian Grove as the playground of the Bohemian Club.

Hmm. The 7th House (of Open Enemies) is full of the Sun, the Moon and Mercury in Cancer, plus Mars in Leo. Mars is inconjunct to the Ascendant; Jupiter is inconjunct to the other three. Pluto is inconjunct to the Midheaven. This is sinister, for sure. No matter how you slice it, this place has something attached to it. With Saturn square to the Sun, the Moon and Mercury, while those three are in opposition to the Capricorn Ascendant, that T-square is an indication of Saturn being the real ruler of this chart.

Who Did the 7th American President Reincarnate As?

Posted on March 12, 2026 by cdsmiller17

Andrew Jackson (March 15, 1767 – June 8, 1845)

This is going to get weird, so hang on to your seat. I’ll show you the birth chart for this man, before we go any further.

His birth time is unknown, but because his birth chart was already on my computer program, I’m going along with it. The most interesting aspects are the opposition between the Sun and the Moon (a common element in presidential birth charts [see Trump]) and the (accidental) conjunction between Uranus and the Ascendant.

The more important (but also accidental) aspect is the conjunction between Pluto and the Midheaven, both inconjunct to Saturn AND the Moon inconjunct the Ascendant AND Mercury inconjunct Neptune. There’s something disturbing here, but what exactly is not clear.

Yesterday, I came across this image comparing Jackson with Jeffrey Epstein. Originally, I had mistakenly thought it was comparing Epstein with Thomas Jefferson (perhaps by the coincidence of Jeff in their names), and I compared their charts. Only Jefferson’s death chart slightly aligned with Epstein birth chart, so I set them aside until today. Then I went looking for the illustration you can see above. Wanting to write Jefferson’s name in the Google image search, my unconscious suggested ‘Andrew” instead, and then the penny dropped. Wrong President, wrong comparison.

Jackson’s natal Pluto/Midheaven conjunction is straddling Epstein’s Capricorn Ascendant in opposition to Epstein’s Uranus. Ooh, we’re getting somewhere, I thought. Epstein’s Saturn/Neptune conjunction in Libra is transiting both of Jackson’s Parts of Fortune. Epstein’s Moon is transiting Jackson’s natal Venus and his ‘fatal’ Uranus in Aries. Both men’s natal North/South axes line up within 6° in Leo. And Epstein’s 8th House cusp Pluto is opposite Jackson’s ‘fatal’ Mars. That’s enough proof, for me.

So, strange as it might seem, these two men are connected. Is Epstein the reincarnation of Jackson? Perhaps.

No One Thought Lightning Could Strike Twice

Posted on March 11, 2026 by cdsmiller17

Man on the Run (2025)

This documentary on Prime Video was suggested by a family member. I would have got around to it eventually, but the prompt moved the viewing forward by weeks, if not days.

There’s something about history when you live through the events of the past: you end up watching it unfold knowing full well where the story goes. In this case, Paul’s narrative, and subsequent interviews reveal a very fragile time in his life when the Beatles broke up. It’s not hard to put yourself in his place.

I remember seeing a cartoon at the time of the breakup that showed the other members of the Beatles quietly leaving the group but ending with Paul saying that he quit. Forever and a day, he has been blamed for their breakup, when in fact it was the rest of the group who quit first.

Now, let’s address the elephant in the room. Paul’s music in the first couple of years after the breakup was not very good. But his innovation of playing all the instruments during his homemade recording sessions opened up a brand new chapter of how music could be made. But it wasn’t really until “Band on the Run” that the public finally took notice of his continuing talent as a singer-songwriter. In the meantime, true Beatles’ fans bought anything and everything that the individual members produced during those early years. I was one of those fans. I even bought “Back to the Egg” which was considered Paul’s worst album. But his new group Wings took off with their tour “Wings Over America”. From 1975 to 1980, Wings were the band to beat. Then Paul screwed up, trying to bring pot with him into Japan. The song “Band on the Run” turned out to be prophetic. Wings dissolved. Paul, Linda and Denny Laine continued to make music together from then onwards and the documentary ends with John’s murder in 1980.

The Beatles could never reform after that event.
