Sabbatai Zevi (August 1, 1626 – September 17, 1676)
It’s not something just for the present believers of Christ’s return: in the 17th century, European Jews longed for their own Messiah, to lead them from their slavery and bring them back to their Promised Land. Sabbatai Zevi claimed to be that man.
Here is his randomized birth chart:
This chart looks very one-sided. That makes me suspicious of the motives of the individual. But, when I raised his death chart, I noted that a more balanced energy set is evident. That made me ponder which came first in history, Jesus or Sabbatai (Satan). This is very deep and disturbing.
Do you see what I’m alluding to? Is Sabbatai Jesus’ evil twin? (Zevi’s natal North/South Nodes are conjunct Jesus’ ‘fatal’ Venus/Ascendant opposition.) Hmm, I wonder.
Is this where the idea of an Antichrist comes from? The year 1666 seems to point to this truth.

It’s been a mystery that has gone on for far too long. The Whitechapel murders were violent and nasty and all of London, and the rest of England, were scandalized by their execution. For years, people have speculated about who the killer could have been. Click this link to read all about Hyam Hyams. One look at his birth chart, randomized here, was enough to confirm him as the Ripper.
The stellium of planets in Pisces (here split between the 6th and 7th Houses and in opposition to the Virgo Ascendant) presents a picture of someone not in control of their life. In fact, the Venus/Mars conjunction (Love and Hate) is aided and abetted by a close conjunction with Mercury (Mental Issues), and a distant conjunction with Neptune (Confusion). This is definitely a troubled individual. Even if the time is changed, this line-up will still exist. This is what is known as being born under a “bad sign”.
It’s a shame these women had to pay for his lunacy with their lives.
I probably wouldn’t have considered looking at this man astrologically except for two shows: Houdini and Sherlock. Arthur Conan Doyle was a spiritualist, who could be fooled by psychic fraudsters. That seems impossible, given that his creation, Sherlock Holmes, was mostly never fooled by anyone.
Scientific enquiry into psychic phenomena? Not quite the same thing.
One online astrology site claims that this birth time was from his birth certificate. I cannot disagree, but I reserve the right to question it at a later date. That heavily loaded T-square might be why he couldn’t see the forest for the trees: Moon/Midheaven conjunction in opposition to Saturn, all squared to Mercury/Venus/Pluto conjunction. Very potent, to be sure, but the Venus portion may have been the blind spot.
In 1885 Doyle married Louisa (sometimes called “Touie”) Hawkins (1857–1906). She was the youngest daughter of J. Hawkins, of Minsterworth, Gloucestershire, and the sister of one of Doyle’s patients. Louisa had tuberculosis. In 1907, the year after Louisa’s death, he married Jean Elizabeth Leckie (1874–1940). He had met and fallen in love with Jean in 1897, but had maintained a platonic relationship with her while his first wife was still alive, out of loyalty to her. Jean outlived him by ten years, and died in London.

In Houdini, his second wife is portrayed as a psychic medium, using automatic writing as her instrument. Harry Houdini calls her out as a fraud and Conan Doyle breaks off any further work with him. (Now, that may have been ‘just’ a poetic device to explain their ‘feud’ but it does present us with a conundrum. Was Conan Doyle blind to her unconscious fraud, as this show demonstrates?)
Doyle Suggested That He Had a Second Birthday (November 14, 1893)
This was the day that he finally turned his back on a Catholic life and joined the Society for Psychical Research. I’ve done a chart for that event, set for noon.
Ah, yes, there’s a Yod pointing at Pluto, formed by inconjuncts to Venus and Uranus. Interesting.
She was Henry VIII’s youngest sister and a short-time Queen of France. In other words, her father’s pride and joy. Mary Rose Tudor is always referred to as that, since it distinguishes her from others.
Does this look like the chart of a Queen of France (if only for three months)? There are no inconjuncts, so no hidden agenda. The two interesting things about her life is that her own mother was Elizabeth of York and she was the maternal grandmother of Lady Jane Grey. (My daughter Rosanna will see the irony of these connections.)
The Serenity Prayer (1st Published March 15, 1933)
AA medallion?
This prayer received a short mention in Ellie’s Meat and Potatoes Tarot video about the 16th Major Arcana card, The Tower:
Well, that spurred the idea that we could look at the chart for that event. Now, admittedly, on the day of publication, midnight plus 1 second could be the ‘real’ time, but, in this case, I let the time be randomized. The result looks like this:
Talk about surrendering…the Yod, pointing at Neptune, is made up of inconjuncts from Mercury and the Midheaven. Alongside the Mercury/Neptune inconjunct is a second inconjunct linking Mercury and Mars. That seems to tell the story in a completely obvious way. Saturn is conjunct the Midheaven, and that aspect represents the God of this material world. Mercury in Aries is our human intellect. Mars/Neptune is our fight to rid ourselves from bondage/addiction to our passions. And when you put them together, it demonstrates that we need help to overcome our problems. Is that clear enough?
This picture hangs in the hall of my house and I look at it every time I pass it on my way to another part.
Sarah Bernhardt (October 22, 1844 – March 26, 1923)
Sarah Bernhardt (1844-1923), French stage actress, 1890. Bernhardt was the most famous stage actress of the 19th century.From The Cabinet Portrait Gallery, first series, Cassell and Company Limited (London, Paris and Melbourne, 1890). (Photo by The Print Collector/Print Collector/Getty Images)
This woman is waaaay before my present time. In fact, I wouldn’t normally have thought about her, at all, except for a comment made by Ian McKellen made during a National Television Awards program, which spoke about it being 100 years since her death. Sarah Bernhardt was everyone’s favourite actress.
Supposedly, the 2 a.m. birth time was written on her birth certificate. I’ll go with that, too, just because it has some interesting planetary aspects. There is one inconjunct, linking the Moon and Mercury.
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.
I’m going to suggest that the Moon being in opposition to the Ascendant gives her that emotional edge.
Sarah Lancashire (October 10, 1964)
Now this is a hint from the Universe that may yet yield a new way of looking at reincarnation: Sarah Lancashire is a English actress I have watched over the years, especially when she was on “Coronation Street”. It could be that I always knew there was something ‘special’ about her, but what exactly is it?
Although this chart timing is randomized, I wonder if it might also be accurate, as the Moon is in the 1st House (of Personality), just under 4° from her Sagittarius Ascendant. Hmm. Here is her acceptance speech from the same National Television awards program:
Isn’t she lovely?
How Do the Charts from These Two Sarah’s Line Up?
There are a couple of strong links between them, the most startling being Bernhardt’s natal North Node and Lancashire’s Ascendant. (And yet that could be totally derailed if Sarah Lancashire’s birth time is wrong.) Lancashire’s Mercury is almost exactly conjunct Bernhardt’s natal Mercury. Lancashire’s Sun is conjunct Bernhardt’s ‘fatal’ Saturn. Lancashire’s Neptune is conjunct Bernhardt’s ‘fatal’ Jupiter, and opposite Bernhardt’s ‘fatal’ Mars. Finally, Lancashire’s natal Mars is conjunct Bernhardt’s ‘fatal’ Neptune.
So, going out on a limb again, this may show an affinity between these two actresses, even an inspiration of one by the other, but perhaps not really reincarnation. Do you see how my thinking has shifted? Sarah Lancashire is an emotional performer, too, but now it doesn’t rule her.
I’m a bit astounded by this: Putri is a past winner of Indonesia’s Got Talent, and is a far more polished performer than the little blind girl image that we’ve been fed, up until this point.
Would you believe that she has her own YouTube channel? Here’s a sample of a song she covered:
So, what can we learn about her birth chart?
This timing is randomized. According to all accounts, she started signing at age 2. That would be represented by Saturn (if this random timing holds up). Her present age is 17 and Jupiter is situated there, implying that she will conquer the world (via AGT) this year. Her version of Bohemian Rhapsody is exquisite, and that has got me to wondering: could she be Freddie Mercury reincarnated?
Okay. I’m going to go out on a limb, here. She may or may not be Mercury reborn, but she certainly could be inspired by him. That natal Ascendant in his chart is almost exactly conjunct her natal Sun @ 10° Capricorn, just 1° from his ‘fatal’ Uranus/North Node, while her natal Moon is about 2° from his ‘fatal’ Neptune. Her natal Venus is conjunct his ‘fatal’ Saturn, so the pattern fits. Finally, her South Node is conjunct Mercury’s natal Neptune/Midheaven conjunction. Looks promising, doesn’t it?
Door-stopped by Two Young Jehovah’s Witnesses, Today
It’s not the first time that JWs have come knocking on my door, and it probably won’t be the last. But I take my inspiration to write from anywhere and everywhere. Today’s question and pamphlet are noted in the image above (copyright 2014 Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania).
I suspect that the worries that everyone is having about today’s world is the impulse behind these two missionaries going door-to-door in our neighbourhood. I’ll bet they didn’t expect to encounter someone like me. It’s a first-hand education, for sure.
“Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven”
Or, in my own jargon, based on Gnostic traditions: As Above, So Below.
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Matthew 6:33 KJV
In other words, don’t wait for the world to end, or your own death, to absorb the Kingdom of God.
That Yod pointing at the Midheaven is significant: it is formed by inconjuncts to the Moon and Mercury. Uranus is on the event horizon, and Mars is trine the Midheaven
When people say that the heavens do not reflect what happens here on earth, they don’t know what they’re talking about. There are no coincidences..
