I’ve spoken of this before, here. What hadn’t occurred to me before is that I never saw the death date results for anyone else. December 7, 2019 may have been the only ‘death date’ result. Why am I suggesting this now? Because COVID-19 may have been released from the Wuhan lab on that date, and this was the Universe’s warning to the world almost twenty years ahead of time. Hmm.
Or, maybe, the warning was just meant for me.
When I was becoming an adult, Gloria Steinem seemed to be the background noise that most men didn’t really understand. Women, however, decided that her way was the best. Only, instead of being liberated from the mundane world of raising children and housekeeping, they fell into the trap of trying to have it all. If you ask any women about what they want these days, staying home would seem a better choice.
There was one quote attributed to Steinem that seemed to be the crux of the problem:
Cash Peters speculated that Steinem may have suffered ‘something’ in her childhood. The earliest issue has to do with Venus/Saturn conjunct, both inconjunct Pluto. Oh-oh. This is followed by the Moon inconjunct Mercury. Her mom may not have believed her. Only in her early teens does Mars inconjunct Neptune motivate her feminist response. The Sun is conjunct Mars. The fierce fighter was reborn.
Were her issues resolved when she died? I would suggest not: her natal Moon is inconjunct her ‘fatal’ Pluto; her natal Jupiter is inconjunct her ‘fatal’ Moon; and her natal Ascendant is inconjunct her ‘fatal’ Saturn. Finally, her natal Sun is conjunct her ‘fatal’ Neptune. And her natal Neptune is conjunct her ‘fatal’ Sun.Is that clear?
Hmm.
Think about it.
The term religion comes from both Old French and Anglo-Norman (1200s CE) and means respect for sense of right, moral obligation, sanctity, what is sacred, reverence for the gods. It is ultimately derived from the Latin word religiō. According to Roman philosopher Cicero, religiō comes from relegere: re (meaning ‘again’) + lego (meaning ‘read’), where lego is in the sense of ‘go over’, ‘choose’, or ‘consider carefully’. Contrarily, some modern scholars such as Tom Harpur and Joseph Campbell have argued that religiō is derived from religare: re (meaning ‘again’) + ligare (‘bind’ or ‘connect’), which was made prominent by St. Augustine following the interpretation given by Lactantius in Divinae institutiones, IV, 28. The medieval usage alternates with order in designating bonded communities like those of monastic orders: “we hear of the ‘religion’ of the Golden Fleece, of a knight ‘of the religion of Avys’.
That’s my understanding of its meaning.
Maybe, I’m being a little harsh, and years from now the whole thing will be seen as a stylistic breakthrough of some sort, but for now, don’t watch this emotional train wreck.
I’ve heard of cold feet before getting hitched, but this one takes the wedding cake. The usual line about not really knowing your partner is imagined out of all proportion. In fact, the built-in understanding of another’s motivations is exaggerated out of perspective. The imagery jumps around between the present and the past too much, causing confusion for the viewer. I guess that’s the intended purpose of the director. After all, what man would marry a woman who wanted to cause a school shooting when she was a teenager. The flashbacks help us to understand the why, but are we empathetic enough to truly care? When it all falls apart, could you start again? That’s the whole question of the film that was telegraphed at the very beginning, before the opening titles even begin.
In the previews and promotions, the topic of Emma’s confession was glossed over. No need to wonder why. The truth is in the title, isn’t it?
Most people would say, “So what?” Well, as we’re beginning to understand, if you’re willing to cheat at golf, you’ll cheat at anything, including elections.
This video is from 7 years ago. There’s even been a book written about it. And, as we approach the US Midterm Elections keep in mind that he likes to think of himself as the winner, the hero of his (and everyone else’s) story. But this next cartoon says it all:
Exactly.
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 curiosityDust in the wind
All they are is dust in the windSame old song
Just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do
Crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to seeDust in the wind
All we are is dust in the windNow don’t hang on
Nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away
And all your money won’t another minute buyDust 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)
Amen.
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.

In 1995, my boss at PCS asked me to record a mixtape of his favourite songs. This song was his absolute favourite. Not sure why.
Losing My ReligionSong by
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 upThat’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 enoughI thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you tryEvery whisper
Of every waking hourI’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 upConsider 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 muchI thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you tryBut that was just a dream
That was just a dreamThat’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 enoughI thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you tryBut that was just a dream
Try, cry, why try?
That was just a dream
Just a dream
Just a dream, dream
Amen.
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.
What do you think?
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.
