My dream last night consisted of a full marathon race. Both of us were the first to sign up, so we were given number 1 (male and female) designations. When it came time to set out, my number was folded over the beginning of the bibs, so Fenella had to wait for me at the start line until it was discovered. That put us behind the next five couples, so we knew we had some catching up to do.
I woke up before the race was over. (Doesn’t that just say it all?)
Lisa Marie Presley (February 1, 1968 – January 12, 2023)
Like everyone else on the planet, I am shocked by, but not surprised about, the death of Lisa Marie Presley. They say that one shouldn’t ignore the warning signs of cardiac arrest, and her appearance at the Golden Globes ceremony on Tuesday night left the impression that something was not quite right about her health.
This birth chart was already on my computer program. There are two interconnected Yods (Fingers of God), but it’s the lone inconjunct that stands out for me.
Mercury Inconjunct Uranus
This aspect might mean that you have nervous problems, such as a tendency to get exhausted or a sensitive disposition that requires a very calm environment in order to prevent further problems. In any case, your parents should keep you away from situations that will make you overexcited.
Venus Inconjunct Ascendant
You should realize that others will respect you if you stand up for yourself and ask for a reasonable return in a relationship. If you constantly seem to be apologizing for who and what you are, people begin to wonder if they have overlooked something that is wrong with you, and they begin to lose confidence in you. Thus you may bring about the criticism that you are afraid of. You are as good and as worthy of being loved as anyone. Be yourself with others, and many people will love you.
Uranus Inconjunct Midheaven
You need to express your thoughts and feelings, but you often upset the people around you with your words. You seem to enjoy creating a stir every time you say something, but this can get you into quite a bit of trouble with parents, teachers and other authority figures. The underlying principle of this aspect is the need to balance your individual self-expression and manner of communicating with your need to learn and grow under the guidance of older people.
Neptune Inconjunct Midheaven
On another level completely, you should be very careful of your health because you are unusually sensitive to certain elements in your environment. You may not be able to handle certain foods or drugs — even prescribed drugs should be handled with care — and you should avoid letting your body become weak.
This chart is based upon the time she was admitted to hospital. She may already have died on the way there, but the hospital doctors didn’t call her death until later. This may be important to our analysis of the combined birth and death charts.
Seemingly, her time had come to an end: the ‘fatal’ Ascendant was approaching her natal North Node. There was nothing more to do. Her natal Sun was exactly conjunct the ‘fatal’ Venus, and her natal Moon is being opposed by the ‘fatal’ Moon. See what I mean? This feels fated, especially since the ‘fatal’ Neptune was occupying the same space as her natal Moon. Even the ‘fatal’ Mercury/Midheaven is conjunct that natal Venus which was significant in her birth chart. Others may see more significant aspects, but this is enough for now.
Here’s an interesting quote which may help us understand why she didn’t act before her cardiac arrest:
Classified documents in two places connected with Joe Biden? This is a purposeful deflection by the Republicans to take the heat off Donald Trump. But the implication is that it was an inside job.
Merrick Garland isn’t falling for it. By appointing a Special Counsel to investigate, he has leveled the playing field so that no one can say he favours one side over the other. What is obvious is that a full investigation will eventually vindicate Biden of any impropriety or dereliction of duty and point the finger at a dirty tricks campaign to discredit him. After all, who in their right mind would leave classified documents in their garage?
But, as always, the main stream media will have a field day until the truth finally comes out.
If it seems impossible that there are so many women who claim to be Cleopatra reborn, just remember what I have said about Sharon Tate and Marilyn Monroe: if a life is cut short, for any reason, the individual shatters into a million pieces in order to ensure a future existence that will complete the task.
If you think this lineup is speculative on my part, it is. But it does demonstrate that we’re all connected, in some way, through astrology and reincarnation. Although I’m fairly certain that the individual whom I previously identified as the reincarnation of Cleopatra, Hypatia and Sharon Tate is the One, it is abundantly clear that others may be involved in some current lifeform or another. This statement isn’t an admission of error, but an agreement as to what that individual said herself when discussing who Julius Caesar might be in the present timeframe. (And that may be a hint as to what transpires in the karmic return: there are public figures and there are private figures, operating at the same time.)
With Melania, her North Node is almost exactly conjunct Cleopatra’s ‘fatal’ Ascendant. All you other astrologers out there may be able to see the various karmic connections between Cleopatra and Melania, so I won’t flog this horse to death.

This moment to inspect what was going on in the heavens was spurred by an Ellie Dreams Down Under video about whether Melania is a Russian spy or not. Ellie decided she was not, but the question remains as to why the Donald is afraid of only her. Hmm.
The timing of their meeting is speculative. It seems entirely appropriate that it would have taken place before dinner that evening, hence the clock set at 7 pm local time. There are three inconjuncts, only one of which is time-defined. The other two are fixed for the whole day.
Mars Inconjunct Saturn
Sometimes with this aspect there really is someone in your life who discourages you and makes you feel that your efforts are futile. You must learn to avoid negative people who make you feel bad about yourself.
On the positive side, this aspect can mean that you control your aggressions and energies so that they work out constructively. But make sure that you do work out your aggression instead of keeping it hidden, because that can result in sudden bursts of temper, which may work against you.
Jupiter Inconjunct Neptune
Probably you should not gamble or take excessive risks at any time in your life. Your dreams in this area also will probably go far beyond reality, and you will take chances that can’t possibly be realized.
Your idealism can be the source of much creative imagination, leading to profound insights and realizations, but only if you remain connected with the actual day-to-day universe in which the rest of the human race lives.
Neptune Inconjunct Midheaven
You are very impressionable, in that you pick up the energies around you very quickly. Therefore it is very important that you be surrounded by wholesome influences, because negative influences will weaken your self-esteem and make it much more difficult to accomplish anything. On the other hand, your impressionableness may give rise to some psychic ability, or at least a very sharp intuition.
Forgive me for thinking that this could refer to either Donald Trump or Vladimir Putin. It was their first meeting after Trump became president. But I digress, yet again: there was a spark between Putin and Melania which is evident in the photograph shown above. Can it be discerned in the stars?
I was originally only going to compare Putin’s and Melania’s charts, which told an interesting story on their own, but decided to see the whole picture by including their first meeting. Remember what I said before about Melania’s marriage to the Donald as a mismatch made in hell? This one seems the opposite: Putin’s Moon is conjunct Melania’s Mars and the event’s Venus. Oh, boy. Something was up.
With Melania’s South Node being almost exactly conjunct Putin’s Part of Fortune, I would lay odds that they’ve been in each other’s lives in the past. The clincher to me? The event Moon is conjunct Melania’s Moon which is conjunct Putin’s Mars. Hmm. Have we hints here of the tumultuous relationship between Cleopatra and Julius Caesar? That is something I need to explore more fully, but at a later date.
It was near the middle of Trump’s reign in the American Republic that I ‘saw’ that he was Nero reborn. The date was March 15, 2019. It explains a lot, doesn’t it? But I hadn’t compared the charts for these two individuals after correcting Trump’s birth time. Here they are:
Karmic astrology is still an unknown discipline. I’ve made many a connection since then, and I now see things that got missed in the initial flurry of recognition. Such as: Nero’s suicide Ascendant is within 1° of Trump’s natal Neptune which is near conjunction to his North Node (and opposite his South Node/Moon conjunction); Trump’s natal Pluto is within 1° opposition to Nero’s suicide Pluto; Trump’s natal Saturn is opposite Nero’s natal Venus; plus, Trump’s natal Sun is opposite Nero’s natal Sun/Pluto conjunction; and Trump’s Ascendant is conjunct Nero’s natal Moon.
I wrote about the Great Schism, yesterday. Today, I want to visit my own baptism as a Roman Catholic Christian. I wouldn’t have had a say in what my mother did for me, so you couldn’t say it was an informed choice, but she was Roman Catholic at the time and it makes sense that she would do the same for me. Today, I see, however, that my baptism took place 11 months before the 900 anniversary of the split of the Holy Roman Empire into two parts, and 11 years before their reconciliation again.
The first thing I notice is that the Sun and Pluto are conjunct in Leo, and, at the same time, Saturn and Neptune are conjunct in Libra. Hmm. Is this the reason that the two sides reconciled in the 20th century? Could my baptism have been the catalyst?
The comparison of the two charts seems to indicate that such an idea isn’t too far-fetched, especially when my baptism’s Saturn/Neptune conjunction is so closely connected to the Great Schism’s Ascendant (@ noon) of the day. But it is only when I looked at my birth chart in comparison to these two charts that the ‘bigger’ picture evolved.
These three charts have the Moon in Scorpio (between 12° and 20°). And there is a close conjunction between the Great Schism’s Venus and my natal Part of Fortune @ 13° Virgo (with both of them in opposition to my baptism’s Part of Fortune @ 15° Pisces). Yes, I am connected to the Great Schism.
Or as Rus used to say (to me), “You’re a better man than me, Gunga Din.”
Before I was a United Church of Canada preacher’s kid, and way before I became an Anglican server (in my teens), I was baptized Catholic. I even have the certificate to prove it:
But I digress. In my dream last night, I made the sign of the cross but didn’t say the words correctly, ending in “from this day forward”. Someone in my dream was surprised I’d get it wrong, and I think that someone was my friend, Kate. So that got me to thinking this morning: should I post about the Great Schism of July 16, 1054?
Notice that Putin’s sign of the cross goes from right to left and not left to right as we in the West might expect. This isn’t accidental. Like many things after the Great Schism, the two sides did everything they could to differentiate between them, including how to make the sign of the cross.
East-West Schism (July 16, 1054)
I wasn’t expecting to see such a visible ‘schism’ dynamic. The T-squares formed by the Sun/Mercury/Mars/Midheaven in Cancer with Neptune in Aries and the Ascendant in Libra (conjunct to Uranus in Scorpio) show the tensions of the day @ noon. I don’t known exactly when the excommunications took place, but this chart gives a fair hint. It took until the 20th century to heal some of the wounds inflicted on the day. There is but one inconjunct.
Saturn Inconjunct Uranus
If either of these planets is near conjunction or opposition with the Ascendant or Midheaven, this aspect indicates a serious tension in your life between freedom and restriction. Many have this conflict, but in your case the tensions may be so severe that you express them physically as muscle tension and possibly nervousness. You feel that somehow you must keep everything in your life under tight control, that if you let go, the whole structure will fall apart.
But the unspoken word in the question that forms the title of this post should be a reminder that we are all Christians. God bless us every one.
We watched this movie on Amazon Prime last night. Susan suggested it since it’s about reincarnation.
There are a couple of ‘official’ trailers on YouTube, so you might want to look at them, too, before you make up your mind about watching this digital movie or not. Mark Wahlberg is a bit of a cipher, here, so his acting skills are reduced to that of a robot, which may have been the intention all along. The Matrix, this is not, and Hollywood seems to have a love/hate relationship with spiritual concepts, so I’m not sure if it will appeal to the casual viewer. The villain, Bathurst, is a bit of a Grim Reaper, and his quest to destroy all human life seems to not ring true, but then we also watched Kingsman: The Secret Service, last night, which has a similar nemesis for humanity in the role played by Samuel L. Jackson. Maybe the thought is that humanity is a virus that needs extermination, but whose side are we really on, anyway?
The only thing that really made this movie work for me was that concept of “Hope” was the overriding principle. Essentially, you can hope that the next life will allow you to do or say what you weren’t able to do or say in this life. Without hope, life has no purpose. Hopefully, we all will get it right next time.
At the present moment, this is an image from the most-watched political discussion in American history. Kevin McCarthy finally took the Bull (Matt Gaetz, born May 7, 1982) by the horns (of a dilemma) after losing the 14th attempt to get himself elected Speaker of the House.
One might ask, why put yourself through this situation? I guess McCarthy’s ego is such that he would never quit until he accomplished his life’s ambition. But, at the same time, Gaetz and his cohorts said that they would never vote for McCarthy, because he hasn’t “earned” it and can’t be trusted. It, therefore, shouldn’t have been a shock to have the vote come within one ‘yes’, only to be denied once more. I was tempted to title this piece “Quack, Quack, Oops!” (You Brits will get the joke.)
So They Tried One More Time; After All, Fifteen’s a Charm
This time the Rebel Six took a knee rather than vote. And Kevin McCarthy got his lifelong wish. (Note the inconjunct between Saturn and the Midheaven.) It’s like he’s had to make a deal with the Devil which he may live to regret.
Saturn Inconjunct Midheaven
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.
Doesn’t bode well, does it?
