Dead Sea Scrolls Released (September 22, 1991)

In the midst of my decade of strife and struggles, the Dead Sea Scrolls were released to the world. This is now 31 years ago.

This chart is randomized. It might be significant that the Ascendant is in Sagittarius, it might not, but there’s no mistaking that inconjunct between Jupiter and Saturn.

Jupiter Inconjunct Saturn

This aspect may signify great restlessness and unease, so that it is difficult for you to achieve a state of balance or feel calm and at ease. Often you have contradictory impulses; you want to plunge ahead into some relatively risky activity, but you are held back by feelings of caution or inhibition. It is often difficult to decide whether you want to act on your own or in a situation that is very structured and regulated. If your situation is too structured, you will feel closed in and repressed; you will want to break free and go off by yourself and do things your way. But when you get that freedom, you feel rather lost and at loose ends, and you find it difficult to set your own pace.

You may have mixed feelings about authority as well. On one hand you respect and admire your parents, teachers and other adults who guide your growth, but at the same time you resist their teachings. At times you resent these people very much, because they seem to limit you so.

The best solution is to learn how to discipline yourself and structure your activities so that you do not have to contend with regulation by others. Then you will discover that your problems with authority come from within, not from the people who are trying to give you discipline and self-control from without. Perhaps the best way to handle this problem in your life is to make a reasonable evaluation of any situation, make up your mind rather quickly and stick to it until you have completed the activity.

Well, surprise, surprise! This same configuration exists in my birth chart. Only this time, the planets have reversed signs and houses. I should have seen it coming, I guess.

Some call it Karma, some call it Hubris. I call it Poetic Justice. These sacred scrolls were hidden in those caves because of some actions of my own in a previous lifetime. So, when they came back into the public eye, my sins needed to be exposed, too. That is why the whole situation was a spiritual cleansing.
