End of the Vietnam War (April 30, 1975)

Recently, we saw the chaos and confusion of an American forces trying to leave Afghanistan in 2021. This was not the first time that the American military have had to pull out of a warzone in a hurry.

I’m not trying to be clever here. All I am attempting to do is demonstrate the circular nature of time, as shown by astrology. But it is significant that there are three interactive Yods, one pointing at Neptune, one at Pluto, and the connecting one at the Sun. The Fingers of God are trying to tell us something.

End of the Afghan War (August 30, 2021)

Hundreds of people run alongside a U.S. Air Force C-17 transport plane as it moves down a runway of the international airport, in Kabul, Afghanistan, Monday, Aug.16. 2021. Thousands of Afghans have rushed onto the tarmac at the airport, some so desperate to escape the Taliban capture of their country that they held onto the American military jet as it took off and plunged to death. (Verified UGC via AP)

This image, and timing, are the public’s perception of the withdrawal from Afghanistan, but, the truth be told, the final plane out of that warzone took off on August 30th @ 11:59 pm Kabul time.

So, what can we learn from these two retreats?

When we put the two charts together, the outstanding aspect is the almost exact conjunction between Afghan’s Moon and Vietnam’s Ascendant @ 13° Gemini. (Talk about being in two minds about the events!) Also, the North/South Node polarity has reversed in the intervening years. Has America learned its lesson about fighting foreign wars? I think so: hence the proxy war being fought in Ukraine.

Where have all the flowers gone?

Three Months for a Pet to Completely Sever Their Ties

BeBe (passed June 21, 2023)

“Ellie Dreams Down Under” posted a YouTube Tarot reading this morning that asked the question as to whether pets are met on the other side when they die. The reading seemed a little backward, at first glance, but then Ellie made sense of it, by suggesting that our pets are so devoted to us that a certain amount of time has to pass before they can sever their ties to us and move on to their next life. I agree:

Three Days, Three Weeks, Three Months…

BeBe’s three months are up on Thursday of this week. Many happy returns, BeBe girl.

Once an Absolute Ruler, Always an Absolute Ruler?

Louis XIV (September 5, 1638 – September 1, 1714)

Sometimes, you just have to go with your gut. Louis XIV of France (otherwise known as “The Sun King”) was a very capable political strategist. Strangely enough, his reign in France served the arts (music and dance), but impoverished an otherwise extremely rich country by waging too many wars.

This is the accepted birth time (note the 11:11 angel number). There are two inconjuncts, one dependent on a correct birth time, the other, not.

Jupiter Inconjunct Pluto (definitely)

You may have a natural talent for dominating others, but don’t fall in love with this talent and be motivated by it. You can be effective at influencing people only if you use your power to help others and yourself achieve desirable goals together. You must be an agent for betterment at all times, and even so you must listen to others’ ideas about betterment to be sure that you aren’t seeking power in a more roundabout manner.

Saturn Inconjunct Midheaven (perhaps)

Unless you are truly supported by your family and friends, you will begin to feel lonely and isolated from others and inferior to them. Also you are likely to have very serious difficulties with authority figures, because you are afraid of how they will treat you, not expecting that anyone will ever give you the loving guidance you need. You will see all authorities only as potential threats to your freedom and as sources of pain and trouble.

Following My Instincts

Perhaps it should be noted that not everything is written down in black and white. Sometimes, there are shades of gray. This is one of those times. When I read Louis XIV’s story, I got a Trump vibe. What?!

Now, in order to ‘prove’ this connection, I needed to compare these four charts: Nero, Louis XIV, Benito Mussolini, and Donald Trump. If nothing lined up, I could then suggest that it was all a coincidence and nothing more. Since I’ve previously connected Trump to Nero, and then Mussolini, this would be interesting, to say the least.

Notice that I’ve only used birth charts: that way the personalities could come through without the added burden of their deaths. I’m really not trying to prove reincarnation here, but only ‘inspiration’.

What I didn’t expect was a “perfect” conjunction between Nero’s North/South Node axis and Louis XIV’s. How could that be even possible? Trump’s Pluto is also within 5° of Mussolini’s Sun/Mercury conjunction and Louis’ Moon (with a more distant conjunction to Mercury). Even Trump’s Venus/Saturn conjunction is within 5° of Mussolini’s Venus/Jupiter conjunction, and Nero’s Ascendant. And Trump’s Mercury is within 5° of Nero’s and Louis’ South Node. Trump’s own South Node is conjunct his Moon, and within 5° of Louis’ Mars, which in turn is conjunct with Nero’s Sun/Mars/Pluto conjunction. It all fits. (There are a lot of 5 degrees of separation, here.)

So What Can We Take Away From This Knowledge?

Isn’t it obvious? Trump wants to be America’s “absolute ruler” for life. If Americans re-elect him to the Presidency, that is what they’ll get.

Social Media Posts are Revisiting Our Former Heroes

Revisionist History

It’s a trend that I’m beginning to notice on MSM: we are being bombarded with stories that paint historical figures and pop idols in less flattering terms. In other words, we being told a more ‘hidden’ version of events and personalities than what we originally believed them to be. Why is that?

Given that we may have been told a bunch of lies over the years, for whatever reason, this doesn’t make sense that we now are being told the unvarnished truth. How do we know this isn’t just another series of stories to make us more malleable to the present environment of “fake news”? And how can we determine fact from fiction?

It comes down to the prevailing winds of change, I guess. Just make sure you are wearing your s**t-detector hat when you come across something ‘different’: don’t buy into everything you read and see.

President Kamala Harris?

The Next Administration (January 20, 2025)

OK. This is how astrologers work out what is going to happen in the future. Ellie Adams and Brandy Burrow posted YouTube videos on their individual sites today which scrutinized what is going on with the next Presidential election in 2024. I wondered why they were being overly cautious about their predictions. Perhaps they will be attacked by Trump’s MAGA followers if they dare to tell their truth.

After the Biden/Harris ticket (finally) won the Presidency, Steve Kinsman, an astrologer based in California, then chose to raise the chart for the next administration in 2025. He couldn’t get an accurate read of what was going to happen, but he felt quite sure that Biden wouldn’t run again. Essentially, that’s the same conclusion that Ellie and Brandy came to, but they hedged their words to avoid saying that it was anything more than their opinions.

President Trump?

Yes, this is always a possibility, but he has to get over a few legal hurdles before election day in 2024. The event Moon transiting Trump’s natal Jupiter does imply that his popularity will stay intact. The event Mars is conjunct his natal Venus, so something may upset his marriage. There are three interactive Yods, pointing at Trump’s Ascendant and Mars and Jupiter. I’m not sure what that’s about, but it doesn’t bode well, in my opinion.

President Biden?

At first glance, Biden’s in a better position than Trump, here, but Jupiter and Mars also raise some concerns: Biden’s Jupiter is being transited by the event Mars, while the event Jupiter is inconjunct to Biden’s Mars. That same event Jupiter is conjunct Biden’s Saturn and the event South Node is conjunct Biden’s Neptune. This hints at Biden having some issues that may preclude his running for a second term as President. Ellie and Brandy suggested that the March 6th, 2024 Super Tuesday may be a crisis date of some proportion (they called it a ‘letting go’ event – paraphrased). The impending attempts by the GOP in Congress to impeach him may be the trigger point. When is enough, enough?

President Harris?

That same timing of March 6, 2024 may be when Harris’ career steps up to something more significant (also according to Ellie and Brandy). So, what can we see in the next administration chart? The event Uranus is transiting Harris’ natal Jupiter. Her Sun is inconjunct the event Neptune and her Ascendant/North Node is inconjunct to the event Midheaven. It must be remembered that Harris’ Sun and Moon are almost exactly in opposition. This implies that she can take on the idea of becoming an ‘honourary’ male. That says a lot: she can be as strong, if not stronger, than any male President.

There, I see her becoming the next President of the United States, and you saw it here first.

The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, Rules the World

International Women’s Day Protests (March 8, 1917)

Watching a documentary program on PBS last night, I learned that the true Russian Revolution actually began on February 23rd [O.S.] of 1917, and not in October. The Russian women in Saint Petersburg decided to protest how they were treated by the Tsarist government. Their efforts set in motion the abdication of Tsar Nicholas II, and a new “peoples’ government” to be set up. It was only months later that the Red Bolsheviks seized the governmental controls of Russia and created the Soviet Union.

.

Notice how the Moon (mother) is opposed to the Sun (Tsar), Mars (men) and Venus (love). Saturn (control) is on the Cancer Ascendant and inconjunct to Uranus (sudden change). Neptune (hidden motives) is inconjunct to Mercury (thinking) and Venus (love, again). By all accounts, after three days of increasing numbers, the “women’s” revolution succeeded against all odds. (It did help that the leaders of the protest went to the police stations and asked them not to fire on the protesters, in advance. The army followed suit and did not gun them down.)

International Women’s Day Protests (March 8, 1979)

Another protest, this time in Tehran, Iran, Came after the Shah was toppled and sent into exile. The Iranian Revolution, which started before this freedom march, turned into an ever more oppressive government by Islamic clerics. Why do these things turn out that way?

.

I randomized the timing, since all anyone can say is that it started in the morning. I didn’t expect a Yod pointing at Pluto, formed by inconjuncts to the Sun and the Ascendant in Taurus. This seems to suggest that the Hand of God was involved. Really?

An oppressive regime tries to keep their women under control, so the events of one year ago, when Iranian women protested the death of a young woman who died after being detained by the “morality police” show that the spirit of protest never dies, but does not always lead to a revolution.

Just comparing these two International Women’s Day protests demonstrates how circular time really is.

Will we learn from history? If not, we are doomed to repeat it. You have been warned.

Their Political Leanings May Have Been Inspired…

The Democrats’ “Squad”

I told you, yesterday, to watch this space. Half an hour later the initials AOC came to my mind. A-ha!

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (October 31, 1989)

Ilhan Omar (October 4, 1982)

Rashida Tlaib (July 24, 1976)

Ayanna Pressley (February 3, 1974)

Now, doesn’t that just make sense?

The composite chart of the Squad.

A Footnote in History from 60 Years Ago

16th Street Baptist Church Bombing (September 15, 1963)

Today is the 60th anniversary of this domestic terrorism attack on a church in Alabama by the KKK.

Because the exact time of the dynamite explosion is known, this is an accurate chart. But, since the dynamite was triggered by a timer set for 10:22 am, I’m not sure the chart can ‘prove’ who actually set it.

These four girls gave their lives for a cause they did not sign up for. Such is the ‘accidental’ nature of history. What would be interesting to discover is whether any of these girls reincarnated into the present time period. I’ll keep a look out for that connection, since, effectively, this date is the day of their deaths.

Watch this space…

And Writing about the Timing of Poems being Published

Last Words of an Unknown Soldier Poem (June 15, 1944)

I wrote about this poem in my post “Why I Write…” and now that I have explored the idea of charting when a poem is published widely for the first time, I thought it might be timely to try that with this one.

I randomized this chart for the day in question. What surprised me was Pluto being almost exactly conjunct the Leo Ascendant. This chart is reminiscent of the D-Day chart, with most of the planets in the final quadrant of the circle. But, obviously, the Moon has moved on since June 6th of that year. Perhaps the timing of the publication coincided with the news of the burgeoning success of the Normandy invasion. As always, it would have been informative if we were able to know when (what battle, for example) and where (somewhere in Italy, I guess) this poem was originally written. Timing is everything.

So, I’m Not Totally Convinced that I Wrote This Poem

This thought comes to me because I have since researched a great many past lives, and none of them seem to be attached to Italy during WWII. Was I just ‘inspired’ to write my “Reflective Sonnet” in the same colloquial style?

At first glance, I believe the answer is “yes.” But then, I wondered if I compared the poem’s chart with the publication of “Reflective Sonnet” would that yield a different story?

OK. This is where it gets weird. As I set up the chart for “Reflective Sonnet” I realized that it was published on the same day, but 31 years later. I have also randomized this chart, just to see what pops out. The Mars/Jupiter conjunction in Reflective’s chart is conjunct the Moon in Last Word’s chart. Hmm.

The Pluto/Ascendant conjunction in Last Word’s chart is conjunct Reflective’s Venus (all in its 12th House of the Unconscious). And Neptune in Reflective’s chart is opposite Last Word’s Uranus. That says it all: yes, definitely, these two poems are linked by divine inspiration. Wow.

There: another mystery is solved.
