Guglielmo Marconi (April 25, 1874 – July 20, 1937)

When a man has a vision, he doesn’t stop until he achieves it, even if the whole world and his uncle think otherwise. Because of the curvature of the surface of the earth, it was presumed that radio waves could not go very far. Marconi thought otherwise and set out to prove his theory.

On this day in 1901, Italian physicist Guglielmo Marconi receives the first transatlantic radio signal (the letter “S” in Morse code) at Signal Hill in St. John’s, Newfoundland.

First Radio Signal (December 12, 1901)

Nowhere could I find a time of day for the event, so I set the clock for noon. Here’s the chart:

Now, what piqued my attention was the conjunction between Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, all in Capricorn. Pluto is acting as the anchor (or, to state the obvious, the base of the kite), as an inconjunct to Jupiter and Saturn. The modern form of world communication was born.

Post Script:

When I was researching Jesus’ birth, yesterday, the conjunction of Mars with Jupiter and Saturn was projected as significant while in Pisces. I disagree that it might have heralded Jesus’ actual birth date, but it does show symbolically that something had changed in the world 2,000 years ago.

Comparing the (maybe) birth chart and the Marconi experiment does show an interesting connection: the position of the Moon for February 24, 6 BCE is inconjunct the Sun/Uranus conjunct in the Marconi signal chart. Even the Part of Fortune for the signal is conjunct Jupiter in the (maybe) chart, while Pluto (which hasn’t moved very far since Jesus’ birth six week earlier) is conjunct the signal Descendant.

So, my question is: was the modern event meant to counter the birth of Jesus into the world? I wonder.
