When You Get Your Picture on the Cover of…

Posted on April 15, 2023 by cdsmiller17

The Rolling Stone (November 9, 1967)

Dr Hook wrote about the thrill of getting one’s picture here, even though he didn’t until March 1973, I believe, as a result of this song, released in 1972.

I randomized the timing, but that Mars conjunct Ascendant is striking. The chart also has two inconjuncts which are time-related, so, these three aspects may not actually exist, but it’s interesting to look at them anyway.

Moon Inconjunct Pluto

This aspect means that your emotions are very intense and not always easy to deal with. Often your feelings make you want to do or say something without knowing why. You probably enjoy exploring the mysterious and probing hidden secrets. Even while you are young, you will understand human nature better than most people, but to use this ability positively, you must be reasonably calm about your feelings.

Saturn Inconjunct Midheaven

This aspect indicates that you very much need a positive relationship with your parents [or producers]. 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 some 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.

Mars Conjunct Ascendant

You are strong-willed, and people quickly realize that you are not someone [or something] to trifle with. You have all the classic qualities of Mars — self-reliance, courage and daring, personal aggressiveness and independence. You need to have complete control over your own life, but there is a danger that you will be too quarrelsome and domineering.

Even Supreme Court Justices Have Feet of Clay

Posted on April 14, 2023 by cdsmiller17

Clarence Thomas (June 23, 1948)

No one is above the law. We hear that so many times, that we become inured to its true meaning. But what if the law also applies to US Supreme Court justices? You’d want to be squeaky clean if you had that position. Obviously, Clarence Thomas has fallen short, along the way.

Notice the Sun/Mercury/Venus conjunction all inconjunct to the Moon. This means that his mental and emotional identification with his Sun sign is total, but then knocked off kilter by his feelings about his mother. The only other inconjunct links Jupiter (in Gemini) to his Ascendant (in Capricorn). He is in two minds territory. Double thinking will always turn out badly (and the South Node conjunct his Midheaven in Scorpio implies that he’s done this before in a prior lifetime).

Now, you may wonder why this has all come out recently. “They” tried to get at him through his wife’s support of Trump’s stolen election lie, but that didn’t seem to go anywhere. Then someone dug up some history with the billionaire Harlan Crow, especially the undisclosed shared vacations paid for by this man. No, Thomas said there was no crime in vacationing with a good friend. So they dug deeper.

I set the clock for noon on the day of the sale of the house and two vacant lots to Crow by Thomas. An interesting dynamic appears, linking the Moon (yet again) inconjunct to the event Ascendant and Mars (in Sagittarius). The other inconjunct is Neptune and the Midheaven. Hmm. Can it be said that he didn’t know he was breaking the law by not declaring the transaction? Neptune inconjunct Midheaven suggests not.

There is no unconsciousness about this event. The most damning indication of the plan to hoodwink the public is shown by the event Midheaven transiting his natal Neptune. Thomas knew full well what he was doing, and the speculation that he was trying to hide his ongoing relationship with his billionaire benefactor, Crow, suggests that he was being ‘influenced’ behind the scenes, making his Supreme Court work tainted. And now he has been found out. As Perry Mason would say, “The truth will out.”

Post #3500: Maybe It’s Time to Stop the Regime(n)

Posted on April 10, 2023 by cdsmiller17

Inside Outside Upside Down

By the end of this month, I will have been writing constantly for nine years on WordPress.

In that time, I have shared my poetry, my dreams, my manuscript about Jesus, and commented on the social and political issues of the day. It’s been a blast, but it has taken a toll on me. Mostly, I have felt ignored and overlooked, mainly because of the lack of feedback from my (supposed) 749 followers. My only ‘fans’ have been spammers commenting on various posts, saying nothing about the work and just about their intended messages. I have consistently blocked them, but one of them creates a new ‘persona’ every day.

But today, I’m feeling tired, so I’m going to take another break from the daily grind. Whether I come back to do any more work depends on how I feel (of course). For now, I’ll leave you with one last thought:

“The world is upside down, and we can no longer find the truth outside: so, go inside, instead.”

Did We Misunderstand What He Meant by Christianity?

Posted on April 8, 2023 by cdsmiller17

John Lennon and Upsetting the Religious Train

I was originally intending to repost what John Lennon said about Christianity in his 1966 proclamation that made Southern Baptists burn all their Beatles’ albums. here is what he said then…

It turns out that he changed his mind for awhile in 1972, if this report is meant to be believed. Yoko Ono brought him back from being a newly born-again Christian, and yet, there are questions about how he felt directly connected with Jesus. Sometimes, the truth is self-evident.

I’ll leave it to others to provide insights. I’m satisfied that the two men are connected.

Did Ike Meet with Two Aliens on February 20, 1954?

Posted on April 7, 2023 by cdsmiller17

Dwight D Eisenhower (October 14, 1890 – March 28, 1969)

It’s an intriguing thought: a President of the United States meets with alien ambassadors, and turns down their request for the USA to stop using atomic weapons, in exchange for superior technology and spiritual wisdom.

These aliens — nicknamed “Nordics” in UFO circles because they resemble Scandinavian humans — traveled to Edwards from another solar system in a flying saucer and, Salla says, they spoke to Eisenhower.

“There was telepathic communication,” says Salla, 45, as he sits in his suburban Falls Church living room. “It’s as though you’re hearing a person but they’re not speaking.”

The “Nordics” offered to share their superior technology and their spiritual wisdom with Ike if he would agree to eliminate America’s nuclear weapons.

“They were afraid we might blow up some of our nuclear technology,” Salla says, “and apparently that does something to time and space and it impacts on extraterrestrial races on other planets.”

Ike declined the ETs’ offer, Salla says, because he did not want to give up the nukes.

Washington Post (February 19, 2004)

Admittedly, this is a Conspiracy Theory, but it does seem within the realms of possibility.

Now, this is a presumed meeting time (as we wouldn’t want the President up too late, since he had church in the morning). That Neptune on the event horizon is interesting. There are two inconjuncts.

Sun Inconjunct Midheaven

This aspect can mean some tension with one of your parents, although it is not likely to be serious or destructive. In fact it may play a very positive role later on by forcing you to confront certain issues that you would otherwise have ignored. However, while you are young, you may resent this parent quite a bit. Do not take this too seriously, unless some other area of your chart indicates a more negative relationship.

Moon Inconjunct Venus

You need to be loved, even more than most people, particularly by your mother or another woman who takes the place of your mother. This need for love will be the force behind many of your actions. If you don’t find the love you are looking for, you will develop an insecure hunger for love from everyone you meet.

(Now, just to be clear, these aspects probably represent America’s response to having an alien encounter. To prove this I have compared this chart to Eisenhower’s birth chart.)

The event Neptune conjunct Ascendant in Libra is totally confirmed by Eisenhower’s natal Moon/Uranus conjunction. I’m going to go out on a limb here and suggest that the meeting did, in fact, happen. Note that the “Majestic-12” group was formed in April, 1954. Hmm.

An Anti-VAXXer Wants to Be President in 2024

Posted on April 6, 2023 by cdsmiller17

Robert F. Kennedy Jr (January 17, 1954)

Does RFK Jr have a death wish? That’s the only conclusion I can reach when considering his run for the Democrats’ nomination for the Presidency in 2024. First of all, he will have to unseat Joe Biden, and, secondly, he will have to overcome a lot of negative press for his anti-VAXX views. (And then there’s the Kennedy Curse.)

This chart is totally randomized, but I’m keeping it since JFK’s assassination occurred when he was almost 10 years old, represented by Pluto in his chart. Two of the three inconjuncts come from that planet. (I suspect his father’s death was even more traumatic, at age 14, but we’ll stick with this time.)

Sun Inconjunct Pluto

There will be many changes in your life, and you will be affected by deep psychological forces that may be difficult to understand at times, as well as confusing to the people around you. You approach people with great intensity, and your emotional involvements are seldom casual. Either you life people very much or you dislike them intensely. Possibly your attitudes on other matters will be extreme also. One of the most important lessons that you will have to learn is to be more moderate.

You have a very strong will and can be quite stubborn, even when you don’t have any particular reason to be. It is as if you automatically resist any pressure to act in a particular way, even if you know it is good for you. This may arise from a fear off being controlled, helpless or manipulated by anyone else.

Mercury Inconjunct Pluto

You have a rather complicated and sometimes tricky mind. You usually prefer to do things in roundabout and involved ways instead of being simple and direct.

On the positive side, this means that you enjoy solving puzzles, tracking down mysteries and finding out about hidden matters.

On the negative side, you might misuse this [psychic] ability by trying to control people’s thoughts and words. You may enjoy working in secret and creating an air of mystery about yourself, but this could backfire and make others misunderstand you or even fear what you are doing.

On another level, this aspect can mean that at certain times in your life you will go through tremendous psychological changes. All your thoughts and opinions will change completely. These stages may seem difficult, but you will be much better off if you let go of the past and welcome the new ideas.

Mars Inconjunct Jupiter

It is important for you to realize that you are not unlucky. Accidents or mishaps result from going too far too fast rather than from bad luck. If you slow down and learn new skills carefully and slowly, you will do as well as anyone else.

You have a great need for personal freedom also. But while you are young, you may not be very responsible about the way you use your freedom. You may take too many liberties or even interfere with other people’s freedom. Here again the problem is rashness and lack of self-control.

Hmm. We shall see how this Quixotic struggle turns out.

Post Script

Two astrology sites have decided that 5:32 pm is the correct birth time. Let’s look, shall we?

The only thing that’s added is another inconjunct with Mars, this time the Midheaven. In doing so, a Yod, pointing at Mars is created.

Mars Inconjunct Midheaven

This aspect can mean that you have mixed feelings about all authority figures. You may feel that you have to violate the rules laid down by your parents in order to get your way. This is a significant problem, because if it continues into adulthood, you will have great difficulties with employers.

Planets in Youth (page 245) by Robert Hand (1977)

Yes, that makes sense.

[Trump:] Don’t Cry for Me, Lindsey Graham

Posted on April 6, 2023 by cdsmiller17

Lindsey Graham (July 9, 1955)

Quoting from “Evita” is strange, for sure, but the rhythm was perfect and the word cadence was sweet.

.

Wouldn’t you know it: Lindsey Graham‘s birth time is unknown, so I have randomized the chart and liked what I saw, so I’m sticking with 9:01 am. There are two inconjuncts, only one of which is dependent on the correct timing.

Moon Inconjunct Jupiter

This aspect indicates that you have a positive, optimistic outlook on life, and you enjoy socializing with good friends. However, there are some dangers with this aspect. First, it can be a sign that you are self-indulgent and possibly even selfish, although this is not likely to happen if you have a good, strong relationship with your mother. You have a great need to be cared for and supported, to be accepted for what you are with no strings attached. If this need is fulfilled, the positive side of this aspect will flourish. But if your mother does not support your needs fully, you will feel insecure and will look elsewhere for support and fulfillment. In this case your concern will be totally for yourself with little thought for other people’s needs.

Neptune Inconjunct Midheaven

With this aspect you may have to build up your self-confidence while you are young and learn that you are as worthy as anyone else. Your natural tendency is to yield to authority, so that those people who are most influential in your life should be very careful about how they exercise their authority over you. If they try to control you too much, or if they make you feel that you just aren’t able to manage your own affairs, it will be difficult to correct the effects of this negative influence later in life.

(And they used to say that Hubert Humphrey was lachrymose. Graham seems to be cut from the same cloth.)

Prophetic, that…

Manhattan Court Case #71543-23

Posted on April 4, 2023 by cdsmiller17

Donald J Trump Arraigned (April 4, 2023 @ 2:30 pm EDT)

Trump Perp Walk @ 2:28 pm EDT

For historical interests, only, I have raised the Trump Arraignment chart and compared it to Trump’s birth chart. Well, well, well: the Ascendants are almost exactly conjunct. What are the chances of that?

History has been made.
