I swear, it’s an optical illusion, but who really knows?

Maybe This isn’t as Far-Fetched as You Might Imagine

Posted on December 21, 2022 by cdsmiller17

The Peripheral (Season 1 – 2022)

Normally, I stay away from way ‘out-there’ TV shows, because they take so long to get anywhere and I’m always left with a feeling of being let down by the ending. This show is different. And I suspect it might be the main star, Chloë Grace Moretz, who I last saw in Hugo in 2011. Evidently, she’s been in a million other things since then.

Anyway, I won’t give the ending away, but the storyline, which takes place in 2033 (and 2100), seems to have a relevance to our present time, and perhaps even to David Wilcock stating that the Apocalypse has been cancelled because of our spiritual actions since 2012. Effectively, we’ve changed the timeline.

We shall see.

Love Wins: A Thoroughly Modern Fairy Tale

Posted on December 16, 2022 by cdsmiller17

Harry & Meghan (2022)

Now that the second half of this series has been broadcast on Netflix, we have the whole story. But it isn’t pretty to witness. In fact, a couple of times I was close to tears when hearing how the sordid and nasty situation evolved. I was going to focus on the ‘black and white’ issues but instead think I will look at the day when Harry met Meghan for the first time.

Literally, this may be half-an-hour late (just like Harry was that night), or it could be totally accurate. The point is that the Moon was on the Descendant and that may have been the trigger for them. (Think, Diana.) There are three inconjuncts, but I won’t be delineating them. Instead, I want to demonstrate how that meeting affected both of them, at the same time.

They say, when the stars align, magic happens. I believe it did, here. I’ll leave it for other astrologers to come to their own conclusions.

Sanctuary and Spiritual Guidance

Three Pines (2022)

When I first heard the title of this series on Amazon Prime, I thought, “Another ‘Twin Peaks’?” I was right, and I was wrong, at the same time. There is a strangeness element, but it isn’t so far-fetched and outlandish as that 1990’s show.

I guess what I like about this Quebec, Canadian show is the sensitivity and accuracy of the story lines. There’s no mistaking the MMIWG thread that runs through the first season, but behind that is the tragedy of Residential Schools, especially on the native population. These wounds run deep.

A Blue Jay has a Starring Role, too

In Indian totem symbolism, the blue jay is a guide. And so it proves to be in this village. Whenever the detective gets stuck, the blue jay shows up to provide a clue or two. And the significance is that the policeman has, not one but, two blue jay feathers in his possession (one of which was given to him as a child, just before his mother disappeared from his life). Interesting.

We are only halfway through the first season, but it is shaping up to be an excellent show; definitely not Twin Peaks.

It’s a Metaphor for Arguing ‘Black is White’

Posted on December 15, 2022 by cdsmiller17

The “New” Facebook

Yesterday, I was accosted by a nude drawing of a younger man in all his ‘glory’ on Facebook. It had been ‘suggested’ for me. What!? I immediately complained that it broke their rules because it showed adult nudity featuring genitalia. I got this in response:

Thanks for letting us know about this. The photo was reviewed, and although it doesn’t go against one of our specific Community Standards, you did the right thing by letting us know about it. We understand that it may still be offensive or distasteful to you, so we want to help you see less of things like it in the future.

From the list above, you can block Alexis Vera Art directly, or you may be able to unfriend or unfollow them. We also recommend visiting the Help Centre to learn more about how to control what you see in your News Feed. If you find that a person, group or Page consistently posts things you don’t want to see, you may want to limit how often you see their posts or remove them from your Facebook experience.

We know that these options may not apply to every situation, so please let us know if you see something else you think that we should take a look at. You can also learn more about our specific standards on nudity and the kinds of images allowed on Facebook.

I did not initiate any connection to the Alexis Vera Art page directly, so this is their problem. I wonder how much they got to ‘publicize’ the image. Facebook has become its own worst enemy, and I am tempted to completely stop using it as a platform for any and all of my opinions and insights.

It’s One Small Step for Man

Posted on December 14, 2022 by cdsmiller17

Fusion! (December 5, 2022)

The news was touted on all the news channels recently. I thought to myself, someone, somewhere will give us the exact details, eventually: I never expected it would be the New York Times.

The Cosmic Cross in the centre of this chart is a hint at how excellent the timing of the experiment truly was. There are three inconjuncts, two of which connect the Sun to the Moon/North Node/Uranus conjunction in Taurus: how appropriate. And Pluto inconjunct the Midheaven is spectacular, too.

.

A giant leap for mankind.

I’d Never Heard of This Before:

Posted on December 13, 2022 by cdsmiller17

WOW! Signal (August 15, 1977)

Until today, I was unaware of this ‘contact’ signal. Since it came from the vicinity of Sagittarius, I was wondering if this might be symbolic of the Galactic Centre that Ellie Adams often speaks about. It is presumed to be extraterrestrial in nature, and Ellie Dreams Down Under thinks it might have been a ‘friendly’ message that caused too much consternation among us human beings; the ‘aliens’ then decided to come for a visit themselves, just to see what’s going on.

This is the precise moment that the signal was read/seen. It has three inconjuncts, two of which form a Yod (finger of God) pointing at the Ascendant @ 9° Aries. Interesting.

Moon Inconjunct Ascendant

You tend to put your own emotional needs and wants second to whatever you feel has to be done. In other words, you are likely to be more disciplined emotionally than most people your age. But this is not good if you feel that your emotional needs are not important. Your needs must be fulfilled as much as anyone else’s, particularly because your feelings are really very powerful within yourself.

Venus Inconjunct Neptune

This aspect means that your attitudes about love and affection are very idealistic, as will become clearer later in life. Also it can be a sign of creative artistic ability if there are other indications of creativity in your chart. And, of course, you must begin the appropriate training while you are young.

You may find someone who seems to be perfect, who will help you out of your problems, but later turns out to be a disappointment. You must learn to take a clear, objective view of the people you are attracted to and to realize that you deserve a positive love relationship as much as other person does, for you are as worthwhile as anyone.

Uranus Inconjunct Ascendant

Your need to be free and do what you want is often in conflict with what others require of you and even with what you feel you ought to do. Sometimes this conflict can cause considerable physical and emotional tension. The task you face is to organize your life in a disciplined way that will enable you to satisfy your need for freedom through your everyday activities.

“Close Encounters of the Third Kind” Came Out in Theatres in 1977

Could this be a coincidence?

Oh, right, there are no coincidences…it’s synchronicity.

He Wanted So Much to Join the British Aristocracy

Posted on December 13, 2022 by cdsmiller17

Mohamed Al-Fayed (January 27, 1929)

You can’t blame the man: when he was born, Egypt was part of the Middle East protectorate of the United Kingdom. He would have seen where the money was. A boy can always dream, can’t he?

There are a couple of things about this chart that need clarifying. Al-Fayed claims to have been born in 1933, but official documents suggest that 1929 is the more accurate. I have rectified the timing to have Venus be at 25 years when he was first married to the mother of his son, Dodi. Oddly enough, that made the aspect between the Sun and the Moon exceed the degrees that would have made them inconjunct. But then, the inconjunct between Mercury and the Ascendant becomes prominent. But is it real?

Mercury Inconjunct Ascendant

You are likely to have some problems, but not serious one, in communicating with others. The problem is that people’s first impression of you may not fit in with what you say or your manner of thinking and speaking. People tend to hear what they expect to hear, and they may not listen to you as carefully as they should. So you will have to be as clear as possible and insist that others listen to what you are really saying. If others do not understand you, it is up to you to set them straight.

This pattern also works in reverse in that what you say may make people respond in ways that you can’t accept. For example, you may be outspoken and frank but dislike it when others are, preferring to be treated gently and sensitively.

(This brings to mind his crusade to make the public aware that the accident that caused Diana’s and Dodi’s deaths was an assassination by the British authorities.)

Unsurprisingly, the jury is still out on that idea.

After 45 Years, I’ve Come to This Conclusion:

Posted on December 11, 2022 by cdsmiller17

Astrology Isn’t “Real”

The planets: they impel rather than compel us. As an astrologer, I have been following the pseudoscience for 45 years. There are correspondences between what happens in the sky and how we (re)act. That’s really all it is.

My recent comment on an Ellie Dreams Down Under YouTube video

Honestly, this isn’t as earthshaking as it might appear at first. As a member of our Faith & Science group once stated: how can some rocks circling the earth influence us? (That statement is paraphrased, but I’m sure you get the gist of it.) If anything, astrology is based on the apparent sighting of the night sky from more than 2,000 years ago. With the movement of the zodiacal signs over time, these same ‘indicators’ no longer line up to the same spaces. (It’s called “procession of the equinoxes”.)

What this means, in layman’s terms, is that we have imbued the planets and the signs with the ability to ‘rule’ us as if they were gods. But that power is only from us, not the Universe. As far as the rest is concerned, life is cyclical, and it continues to eternity, without any direct reference to we human-beings and our little lives. Whether we live, or whether we die, the world would keep on turning, as it always has and always will. We place ourselves at the top of the planetary life, even though nothing supports that view, except our egos.
