Is This a Fool’s Errand?

Donald Trump as Paul Bern Reborn?

The woman who has been presenting me with her ‘memories’ of Sharon Tate’s life, death and previous lives has just thrown a spanner into the works. She believes that Paul Bern reincarnated as Donald Trump. Now, to me, this doesn’t add up, since I had previously identified Jay Sebring as Bern reborn.

Karmically, this would seem to be the best fit. But, just to see if such a thing is possible about Trump, here are the charts for comparison:

Interesting. There are definite links. But, my intuition is not buying the idea. (And, just in case you’re wondering, this could be the Universe’s way of letting me know that all this astrology research is bogus.) So, make of it what you will: I’ve explored the idea, and it makes me feel like a fool.

Every Generation Needs a Saviour

Francis Bacon and Jesus Christ?

It was an unspoken question that occurred when I started looking at this individual: was he a reincarnation of Jesus? Now, to be fair, this isn’t the first time that I’ve looked at a link to Jesus.

I have inserted Titus into the middle of this chart comparison, because intuitively the real “Messiah” may have been him. Don’t stone me for that blasphemy. There are even some who think Jesus is a made-up legend, perpetrated on an unsuspecting public by Rome, and the Gospels were written as a ‘satire’.

But I digress. In this triple chart comparison shows links between Francis Bacon and both of these individuals, astrologically: Bacon’s North Node is conjunct Jesus’ Uranus; and Bacon’s Uranus is conjunct Titus’ North Node. As the North Node relates strongly to reincarnation, I think this proves it.

Hmm.

Being Ageless: Blessing or Curse?

The Age of Adaline (2015)

I missed this one, first time around. The premise seemed highly improbable and I was probably not feeling in the mood for a romantic fantasy. It stars Blake Lively, and now that I’ve seen this film, I cannot imagine anyone else in the role of Adaline. She should have been named Blake Lovely.

But at the base of this story is the (not so) hidden wish to live forever and never grow old. In reality, that scenario would turn into a nightmare, especially as everyone you have ever known would eventually die, and leave you lonely without them. This is brought to our consciousness by the photo album that Adaline kept of her many King Charles spaniels. She had just had to put her latest one to sleep and she took the best photo she possessed of it and placed it with the others. (Of course, this struck a nerve with me…)

So, the lesson here is, “Be careful what you wish for…”

Rumour Has It: Elizabeth I’s “Secret” Child

Francis Bacon (January 22, 1561 – April 9, 1626)

Now, this is a contentious secret since Elizabeth I was considered “The Virgin Queen”. Was that a lie? To be fair, Francis Bacon is considered one of the most interesting characters from the late Tudor reign to the early Stuart one. But, if he was her son, why didn’t he get to be the King following her death?

Notice that there are no inconjuncts. This life should have been an open book. But, by comparing his birth chart to Elizabeth’s, we can determine if the rumour was true.

Do you see the conjunction between Francis’ Saturn and Elizabeth’s Mars? That’s the proof: Saturn is the Father in a man’s chart; Mars is the Son in a woman’s chart. Nothing else links these two so directly. So, I’m going out on a limb to say that the rumour was true.

There’s a YouTube video…

Just Because You Write About an Underage Girl…

Vladimir Nabokov (April 22, 1899 – July 2, 1977)

Does he look like a dirty old man? I would say, “no”. But, one wonders why he would explore such a theme in “Lolita”. According to Luke Aaron, he translated “Alice in Wonderland” into Russian, and therefore has a connection, of sorts, with Lewis Carroll. Vladimir Nabokov was born 15 months after Carroll died.

Nabokov is noted for his complex plots, clever word play, daring metaphors, and prose style capable of both parody and intense lyricism. He gained both fame and notoriety with Lolita (1955), which recounts a grown man’s consuming passion for a 12-year-old girl. This and his other novels, particularly Pale Fire (1962), won him a place among the greatest novelists of the 20th century. His longest novel, which met with a mixed response, is Ada (1969). He devoted more time to the composition of it than to any other. Nabokov’s fiction is characterized by linguistic playfulness. For example, his short story “The Vane Sisters” is famous in part for its acrostic final paragraph, in which the first letters of each word spell out a message from beyond the grave. 

Wikipedia

I do things like that, especially with my poems. Hmm.

That one inconjunct linking the Moon and Mercury puts me in mind that his work is challenging, at every level.

Moon Inconjunct Mercury

It may be hard for you to put your feelings into words, because your emotions are so different from your intellect. Of course, there is nothing really strange about your feelings, but that part of your mind is quite different from the reasoning part. In fact it would be very unfortunate if you decided to listen only to your reason, because your intuition and imagination, both of which are more related to the Moon, can be of great assistance to you. They can tell you much about the world that your reasoning mind cannot.

Is He Lewis Carroll Reincarnated?

Perhaps. I suggested to Luke that their connection is more intellectual than emotional, but that was before looking at a comparison of their birth charts, alone. Now I see that Carroll’s Saturn is midway between Nabokov’s Moon/Part of Fortune conjunction. At the same time, Nabokov’s Uranus is conjunct Carroll’s Moon/Ascendant conjunction. Also, Nabokov’s Saturn is conjunct Carroll’s Venus/Mars conjunction. So maybe the emotional connection is stronger than I thought. Wonders never cease.

Have I Been Trying to Make Up for Past Mistakes?

Edward Kelley, Aleister Crowley and Me

When Luke Aaron suggested in a comment that Aleister Crowley thought he was the reincarnation of Edward Kelley, I was surprised (mainly because I’d never read that before) and vindicated (because I’d linked my present life with both of theirs, separately). But, if I really was “The Beast 666” in a past life, am I likely to want to publicize this fact? Perhaps not, which is why I lead a mostly obscure life.

When you compare the three birth charts, a couple of unlikely links stand out: my North Node, Aleister’s North Node and Edward’s Saturn; my Pluto, Aleister’s Uranus and Edward’s Sun. The other links are there, too, but not quite as startling (for example, Edward’s South Node is conjunct my Ascendant, and Aleister’s Saturn and my Sun are conjunct). It is not outside the realms of possibility that the three of us are really one in spirit.

At any rate, I hope that bringing this ‘dark stuff’ to the light of conscious awareness will heal whatever harm was done in the past.

Once a Lord, Always a Lord?

William Cecil, Lord Burghley (September 15, 1520 – August 4, 1598)

OK, OK, this will be my last Luke Aaron connection. I was looking for a tenuous link to his present day counterpart, and it would seem that being Knighted was all I needed to discover. William Cecil was made the 1st Baron of Burghley, during Elizabeth I’s reign. Look at those eyes…

I set the timing of his birth for 8 am. That means that two of the three inconjuncts may be nonexistent. Only one linking the Sun and Neptune is definite. Hmm. That means the Yod pointing at Neptune is half right. What was he hiding?

“William Cecil’s public conduct does not present itself in quite so amiable a light. As his predecessor, Lord Winchester, said of himself, he was sprung “from the willow rather than the oak”. Neither Cecil nor Lord Winchester were men to suffer for the sake of obstinate convictions. The interest of the state was the supreme consideration for Burghley, and to it he had no hesitation in sacrificing individual consciences. He frankly disbelieved in toleration; “that state”, he said, “could never be in safety where there was a toleration of two religions. For there is no enmity so great as that for religion; and therefore they that differ in the service of their God can never agree in the service of their country”. With a maxim such as this, it was easy for him to maintain that Elizabeth’s coercive measures were political and not religious. To say that he was Machiavellian is meaningless, for every statesman is so, more or less; especially in the 16th century men preferred efficiency to principle. On the other hand, principles are valueless without law and order; and Burghley’s craft and subtlety prepared a security in which principles might find some scope.”

A F Pollard – Encyclopedia Britannica

Cecil Parkinson (September 1, 1931 – January 22, 2016)

Those eyes, again. Cecil Parkinson was the Chairman of the Conservative Party during most of his time in British politics. You could say he had quite a similar hand in shaping Margaret Thatcher’s rule as Prime Minister as William Cecil did over Elizabeth I’s reign.

This timing is randomized. Therefore, the single inconjunct linking Saturn and the Midheaven is fleeting, and probably nonexistent, too. But it does tell a tale, nonetheless. Having lived in England for part of this time, I can attest to the fact that Cecil Parkinson was a man of great political significance.

Let’s Compare the Charts

I asked Luke, in an email, if he was an astrologer. Because he wasn’t expecting me to respond that way, he probably deleted my communication as ‘spam’. His ‘spot-on’ connections between the first and second reigns of Elizabeth cannot be based just of their looks, surely. Something else has to be inspiring his choices. Perhaps in this case, it’s the name “Cecil”. After all, stranger things have happened.

Once an Explorer, Always an Explorer?

Robert Dudley (Jr) (August 7, 1574 – September 6, 1649)

This may be the last Luke Aaron lead that I’m going to (try to) follow. Officially, I believe, he intended that I compare Robert Dudley (Sr) who was rumoured to have been romantically involved with the young Princess Elizabeth. Interestingly enough, my Kepler 7.0 program has a chart for Robert (Sr) but the date is at variance with the birth date (by as much as 2 years and 3 months) as written on the Wikipedia page for him, so I think the Universe had decided to shift my attention to Robert (Jr).

Those two double Yods are interesting. Although illegitimate, Dudley (Jr) inherited the bulk of his father’s estate. Mars and Saturn are the planets the Yods point to in Sagittarius (the Wanderer). He fancied himself as a sailor with a fleet of ships. He had many adventures. He finally settled in Tuscany, where he died in 1649.

Michael Portillo (May 26, 1953)

Now, this might seem a strange link (somewhat suggested by Luke) until you look at his life since leaving politics.

His broadcast series include railway documentaries such as Great British Railway Journeys and Great Continental Railway Journeys.

That’s when the penny dropped, for me. It also occurred to me that Michael was the next generation of Tory politician when compared to Margaret Thatcher.

The timing is randomized, so don’t hold me to its accuracy. At any rate, this is for reincarnation research which, in the eyes of many, is already suspect. There are a couple of inconjuncts, but they would disappear if the timing were altered.

Let’s Compare the Charts

I know it seems impossible, but there are definite links between these two individuals. Now, this shouldn’t really come as a surprise, since the birth chart of someone’s child can often reflect planetary placements of the parent’s chart. That Robert (Jr) matches Michael Portillo karmically may be one of those instances. However, this is an happenstance that I see as being from the Source of All Knowledge.

Once a Traitor, Always a Traitor?

Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex (November 10, 1565 – February 25, 1601)

I’m getting a hint of how Luke Aaron fits these past giants of politics to more recent incarnations. It’s how they look like each other. In this case, he wanted me to see if this man matched his modern counterpart.

I’ve set the clock for 8 am, here, but, honestly, it could be anytime during this day. Robert Devereux was a favourite of Elizabeth I, so I can see where Luke’s thinking is going: he ended up being executed for trying to undermine her government. Now, if Elizabeth I returned as Margaret Thatcher, as Luke contends, then it makes sense that his reincarnated self might also have returned to a role in Thatcher’s Tory government.

Lord Michael Heseltine (March 21, 1933)

There is a similar look, for sure, but Robert Devereux’ life was cut short when he was executed at age 35. Michael Heseltine is still going strong at 90.

This chart is randomized, which means that we mustn’t rely on the exact aspects too strongly. However, that Yod pointing at Mars, formed by inconjuncts to the Moon and Mercury does tell a story or two.

Combining Their Charts

There are enough connections between these three charts to suggest that they are cosmically linked. Lord Heseltine’s betrayal of Margaret Thatcher is the stuff of legends. But this time, he kept his head.

A David and Goliath Story for Today

The Burial (2023)

This may be the last film we’ll watch on Amazon Prime Video. It’s based on a true story and it has some very good moments, some totally unexpected and some that were telegraphed ahead of time, perfectly.

Here’s the real Willie Gary:

Watch this one for a virtual tour-de-force by Jamie Foxx. And Tommy Lee Jones’ performance is so subdued, you might not recognize him. Hard to believe he was once in “Men in Black” and “The Fugitive”.
