Her “Gift” Turned into a State Industry

Posted on February 25, 2023 by cdsmiller17

Baba Vanga (October 3, 1911 – August 11, 1996)

Every other week, I read on MSM (and Facebook) that Baba Vanga has made yet another prophecy which may come true in 2023. So, it made me want to ‘see’ what I could discover about her, astrologically.

The only other birth chart I’ve seen for Baba was dated January 31, 1911, with no birth time (set for noon). I have now begun to trust the randomized timing, because more often than not it turns out to be very close to the true birth time. In this case, the position of Neptune may coincide with her ‘blinding’ at about the age of 10. As a result, there are three inconjuncts, but only one of them is (more or less) independent of a correct birth time.

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. However, you may express this in very strange ways, such as a desire for food, especially sweets, which unconsciously represent love to you.

Here’s a more sensational YouTube video for your ‘enjoyment’.

I’m Bulgarian, 63 years old, and I remember Baba Vanga (‘baba’ in Bulgarian means ‘grandmother’) and everything in the story is completely true! Bulgarian State even gave her a licence to do that, which was impossible in the Communist time but she was unique with her skill !

Hristo Hristov (comment on this video)

As always, people apply specific interpretations to vague pronouncements in order to ‘prove’ how accurate she was. They did the same for Nostradamus. So, if you see her prophecies being spouted as predicting something in 2023, just remember that ‘truth’ is in the eye of the beholder.

In this way, it’s the vagueness of prophetic visions that make them so intriguing (aside from the whole “impossible magic” aspect). They reveal the obsessions of the era, and the preoccupations of those who interpret them. In this way, Baba Vanga and others like her prove valuable not necessarily because they confer the ability to prepare for major world events, but because of their ability to actually “predict,” in an indirect way, whatever people want to believe.

And there is a long history of the blind being able to ‘see’ better than the rest of us.

Did You Know There was a Real “Popeye” Doyle?

Posted on February 24, 2023 by cdsmiller17

Jack “Popeye” Doyle (May 7, 1932 – February 26, 2013)

Gene Hackman playing “Popeye” Doyle in “The French Connection”

Sometimes, the obvious stares you right in the face and you choose to be blind to it. By all accounts, Jimmy “Popeye” Doyle’s character was based on Eddie Egan, a real NYPD detective. But was it, really?

Doyle, if he did read the autopsy report, may have been pressured or perhaps paid to disregard the mention of Tuinal since it would have muddied Dr. Luke’s official cause of death. Regarding payment, recall that Doyle somehow, despite earning only a detective’s salary, had enough money to open a restaurant shortly after his retirement without a pension from the police force.

Shaw, Mark William . Denial of Justice: Dorothy Kilgallen, Abuse of Power, and the Most Compelling JFK Assassination Investigation in History (p. 292). Post Hill Press. Kindle Edition.

I’m not intending to cast aspersions of ex-detective Jack “Popeye” Doyle‘s good character, but the question of turning a blind eye to Kilgallen’s ‘strange’ death is something that needs exploring.

This chart is totally speculative. But, even so, there is a hint at ‘something’ not being quite right.

Saturn Inconjunct Neptune

This aspect is strongest when either of these planets is also conjunct or opposition the Ascendant or Midheaven. It can a variety of effects, one of which may be difficulty in relating fantasy and imagination, on one hand, to reality, duty, obligation and work, on the other. Usually the reality, duty and work aspect of the combination is dominant, at least at first. Your imaginative side tends to be transformed into nervousness, fear and irrational anxieties. The most negative manifestation of this aspect is a feeling that you have to keep a tight lid on yourself and that if you look inside yourself too closely, you will find only emptiness and disintegration. It is difficult for you to realize that this is not the truth about your inner self.

It is only when you compare Doyle’s birth chart with Kilgallen’s death chart that you see what might have been a hidden agenda. There is a triple interactive Yod pointing at the Mercury/Uranus/Midheaven conjunction in Doyle’s chart formed from inconjuncts to Kilgallen’s ‘fatal’ Sun/Neptune conjunction and her ‘fatal’ Uranus/Pluto conjunction. Is that enough ‘proof’ to suggest that Doyle was ‘bought off’? Hmm, I wonder.

The Last Time Pluto was in Aquarius:

Posted on February 23, 2023 by cdsmiller17

Uranus was Discovered (March 13, 1781)

Next month, Pluto moves into the first degrees of Aquarius, before reverting to Capricorn in June. My friend, Ellie Adams, wonders what that may foretell for our future. In the years 1778 to 1798, the last time Pluto was in Aquarius, the events of those years were revolutionary to the extreme. Maybe they’ll be another revolution this time around.

The timing of this chart is randomized, so I wouldn’t put too much importance on the Pluto inconjunct Midheaven aspect, but the other two are not dependent on a correct time.

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.

Jupiter Inconjunct Uranus

You will always need freedom, but you will also discover that what you do with your life will have meaning only if it means something to others. This is not an artificial rule but a truth that you will discover within yourself. When you do, you may become heavily involved in some social movement that advocates unusual ideas or ways of thinking.

I’m focusing on the idea that astronomical and astrological breakthroughs occur while Pluto is in Aquarius. Why? Because the period of time (1532 – 1553) before this one had Copernicus publish (after his death in 1543) his heliocentric view of the heavens above. That was revolutionary, too.

Maybe, starting next year, the idea that astrology can map previous lives will finally be accepted.

So, What About His Wife? Was She Innocent?

Posted on February 22, 2023 by cdsmiller17

Marilyn Reese Sheppard (April 14, 1923 – July 4, 1954)

The previous post’s YouTube video speculated that Marilyn Sheppard may have been ‘unfaithful’. Hmm.

This birth time is considered excellent. Now, it echoes her murder chart by showing a double Yod pointing at her natal Venus/Uranus conjunction, formed by inconjuncts to Saturn and Neptune. That’s disturbing, on its own. But was she caught ‘in flagrante delicto’? Or was she the victim of a home invasion gone wrong? Here are her birth and death charts combined.

Hmm, again.

In my opinion, Richard Eberling was the killer.

Richard Eberling, 68, the man accused by the son of Sam Sheppard of killing Sheppard’s wife, the crime that inspired “The Fugitive,” died July 25 in a prison hospital here. The cause of death was not reported.

The Washington Post (July 28, 1998)

And as a surprise revelation to me overnight, I realized his name had been hiding in plain sight. The writers of the TV series “The Fugitive” called the main character ‘Richard Kimble’.

Case closed.

The Murder Case that Inspired the Plot of “The Fugitive”

Posted on February 21, 2023 by cdsmiller17

Dr. Sam Sheppard (December 29, 1923 – April 6, 1970)

I wouldn’t have thought to even look at this event, if it hadn’t been for this quote from “Denial of Justice”.

There is a lot of Q & A in the book (“Murder One”), as you know, and I never quite got around to making my point about the Q & A. It’s very…the reason Dorothy wanted that in there is to prove that a very, very sagacious DA or defense attorney can win the life of a person by asking just the right questions. And it sometimes hangs on one word. And, and if you read this, and I have reread it, some of the Q & A, several times and you can just see where the scales were tipped. And where the jury decided “this is a guilty person” or “this is not a guilty person.” (Providing even more information as to Kilgallen’s thoughts at the time, Richard said:) Dorothy felt that the Sheppard case was a miscarriage of justice. And, yes, F. Lee Bailey himself told Dorothy that, more than any other affidavit that they had, or any statement that had been made, hers influenced getting the guilty verdict reversed by the Supreme Court.

Shaw, Mark William . Denial of Justice: Dorothy Kilgallen, Abuse of Power, and the Most Compelling JFK Assassination Investigation in History (p. 278). Post Hill Press. Kindle Edition.

So, to make this shorter, rather than longer, here’s a look at Dr. Sam Sheppard and the murder of his wife, Marilyn.

This is an accurate time of birth, and the fact that there are no inconjuncts means that Dr. Sheppard had no hidden agenda. But I did wonder about the Grand Trine linking Mars, Uranus and Pluto. This may be important to understanding the man.

For the murder chart, I have selected the time of Dr. Sheppard’s phone call to his neighbour. This is not the actual murder time, but the moment when someone else was informed about Marilyn’s death. The Yod pointing at the Midheaven, formed by inconjuncts to the Moon and Saturn, seems to presage his being found guilty by the Press and the State. But did he do it?

Dr. Sheppard’s natal Pluto is almost exactly conjunct the event’s Sun in Cancer. Was his whole life’s purpose tied up with the murder of his wife? This seems crazy. And yet, the other links between these two charts seem to imply this: his North Node conjunct the event Moon; the conjunction between the two Saturns; and his Neptune is conjunct the event Venus/Pluto conjunction. The Fugitive is also implied.

What do you think?

Can Any Good Thing Come Out of …

Posted on February 20, 2023 by cdsmiller17

Nazareth? (John 1:46 KJV)

It’s the type of sarcasm that permeates the New Testament Gospels and helps to confirm that they were written as ‘satire’. Uncomfortable as it might seem, such proof demands an open mind about Jesus.

I’ve already looked at The Band’s “The Weight” which references Nazareth in its first line. Well, here’s another classic song which references what Nazareth means:

The ‘hour is getting late’… indeed.

It Makes a Change from Tracking Santa’s Progress

Posted on February 20, 2023 by cdsmiller17

NORAD (May 12, 1958)

NORAD has been in the news lately, shooting down balloons and other aerial objects. That wasn’t its original intention: it was intended to help North America have an early warning against Soviet planes entering our airspace, in case they were carrying atomic bombs or nuclear warheads.

There are so many things wrong with this chart that they might just be right. For one thing, May 12, 1958 was the date of the final signing of the pact; but the place was probably in Washington, D.C. or Ottawa, Ontario. I’ve set it at Peterson AFB in Colorado, where the base is now. The time is also set for noon, arbitrarily, because I don’t know when exactly the signing took place. Still, that Yod pointing at the Sun/Midheaven conjunction from Jupiter and Saturn is significant, as far as I am concerned. And Pluto within 2° of the Leo Ascendant speaks volumes, too: USA and Canada wanted to make sure that they remained the biggest, badass bullies on the block.

For 65 years, they’ve kept us warm and cozy in our beds, assured that they have our collective backs.

How do you feel, now?

Seeking Higher Knowledge, John Dee Was Deceived

Posted on February 19, 2023 by cdsmiller17

Angelical (Enochian) Alphabet (March 26, 1583)

Imagine, if you will, a world in which everyone knew what everyone else was saying. Obviously, the Tower of Babel disrupted that. John Dee wanted to get back to the time of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, when everything was pure and bright, and God walked amongst them. His mistake was letting Edward Kelley do his scrying for him. (He’s scrying, he’s lying.)

The Enochian (as it has become to be known) alphabet is Kelley’s invention, as ascribed by Dee in his May 6, 1583 manuscript diary (listing the letters in their ‘correct’ order, from right to left).

The reception started on March 26, 1583, when Kelley reported visions in the crystal of a 21 lettered alphabet. A few days later, Kelley started receiving what became the book Liber Loagaeth (“Book [of] Speech from God”). The book consists of 49 great letter tables, or squares made of 49 by 49 letters (however each table has a front and a back side, making 98 tables of 49×49 letters altogether). Dee and Kelley said the angels never translated the texts in this book.

Wikipedia

Originally I randomized the timing of this chart, but then decided on 4:00 pm (local time) when the Yod (Finger of God) pointed at the Moon (emotional response) from inconjuncts to Mercury (lower mind) and Uranus (higher mind). The Moon is also opposite to Pluto. Dee would not have known this at the time. Virgo Rising should have made him cautious, in the extreme, but seeking esoteric knowledge can sometimes cloud one’s sense of logic and propriety.

Moon Inconjunct Mercury

As you grow older, you will have to learn to make your feelings and your reason work together. The problem is not so much that they come into conflict with each other, but that your reason and feelings represent two very different sides of your personality. When you are calm and collected and able to reflect carefully, you make decisions in one way. But when you are emotionally involved in a situation, you are likely to make up your mind very differently, which could cause you to seem inconsistent to others and make it difficult for them to understand you.

Moon Inconjunct Uranus

With this aspect you must learn to control sudden outbursts of emotion that occur at difficult times when you least expect it. Also your present home life may not be a stable situation in which you can grow up emotionally secure and confident.

You should be encouraged to express your inner feelings and release the tensions that build up inside you. In this way you will not be hurt by energies that you aren’t aware of in yourself.

Moon Opposition Pluto

Your relationships with others will be intensely emotional and quite often difficult until you learn to see others and yourself as you really are, without so much emotion. You tend to see in other people your own fears and doubts. When your feelings are especially strong, you do not think at all clearly, and you may act totally from habit. The only people who would be good friends for you are those who can understand your feelings.

The great hint as to whether the words Kelley was scrying were ‘real’ or not is this description of them:

The untranslated texts of the Liber Loagaeth manuscript recall the patterns of glossolalia rather than true language

Wikipedia

The first time I heard someone ‘speaking in tongues’ (at a Pentecostal church), I heard the rhythms of the sentences and recognized that a second person translating them followed their same rhythmic patterns.

I know John Dee’s birth chart is randomized, but I just wanted to see what the Enochian alphabet ‘disclosure’ would have meant to him. I’m not surprised that the event’s Sun and Midheaven form a Yod pointing at Dee’s natal Ascendant. Also, the event’s Pluto is inconjunct with Dee’s natal Midheaven. How’s that for symmetry? The North Node of the charts are within 3° of each other. Hmm.

So, in the end, was he deceived or not?

Symbolic? The Day After Dorothy Kilgallen Died

Posted on February 18, 2023 by cdsmiller17

Northeast Blackout (November 9, 1965)

Maybe I have a faulty memory bank, but I don’t recall this blackout from 1965.

As if to signal a distress from the heavens concerning the passing of one of the most remarkable women in history, what became known as “the Northeast blackout of 1965” happened the next day, the ninth. Along with New York City, the supply of electricity was disrupted to millions of people in portions of Canada, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. Like the electricity, Kilgallen had been “turned off,” her voice silenced once and for all.

Shaw, Mark William . Denial of Justice: Dorothy Kilgallen, Abuse of Power, and the Most Compelling JFK Assassination Investigation in History (p. 239). Post Hill Press. Kindle Edition.

Synchronicity? Perhaps. Like the blackout in 2003, Pluto plays a significant role, this time in conjunction with Uranus in opposition to Saturn. There are two inconjuncts, one double from Mars @ 26° Sagittarius, to the Moon/Ascendant conjunction in Taurus, the other from Jupiter to the Midheaven. Similar energies were at play when Kilgallen died.

Moon Inconjunct Mars

Until you learn to handle your feelings, you are likely to get angry easily, have temper tantrums and be touchy about what is yours and what is not. You may feel you have to defend yourself against imagined threats. The problem here is that you are likely to become too emotionally involved with ideas, opinions or even objects without knowing it until someone threatens them. Then you react as if you were being personally threatened or attacked. You have to realize that it is possible to change your opinions and attitudes without damaging your worth as a person.

Mars Inconjunct Ascendant

The difficulty with this aspect is to find a balance between getting what you want in life and getting along with others. At times you may feel that nothing is going your way, that you continually have to give in to others and put your own wishes aside. However, it is not really this bad. You do not actually have to compromise any more than anyone else, but you are more reluctant to do so.

Jupiter Inconjunct Midheaven

This aspect can mean that you have mixed feelings toward adults and persons in authority over you. Although you know they have your best interests at heart and that they want you to succeed at your objectives, it often seems as if their demands are keeping you from doing what you want. When you want to go off and have fun, for example, you are told to finish your work first. At times you want to break free of this restricting influence and go off by yourself.

(These descriptions do sound just like Dorothy Kilgallen, don’t they?)

What’s a Little Smoke Among Friends?

Posted on February 17, 2023 by cdsmiller17

Ohio Train Derailment (February 3, 2023)

This may turn out to be a major environmental disaster that started out as ‘just’ a little train derailment.

According to news reports (and Wikipedia), this is the precise moment that the train derailed. My reason for charting it is (obviously) to see if there are any hidden agendas. Turns out there are three inconjuncts, two of which form a Yod pointing at Saturn. That’s interesting.

Moon Inconjunct Saturn

This aspect usually means that your need for emotional security conflicts with your need to live with the world’s demands. Each of us needs to be accepted and loved for what we are, in order to have enough self-confidence to deal with the world. But we also have to learn to live with our own life situations in order to survive. In other words, we have to realize that we can’t have everything we want. With this aspect, these two needs are working against each other. Probably you will satisfy one of them at the expense of the other.

Mercury Inconjunct Midheaven

It is very important that you develop your mind and your powers of thought, so that you can use them to attain whatever objectives you set for yourself. However, before you can accomplish this, you may have to solve certain problems. You may feel that there is a tension between your natural spontaneous views and what is taught by your parents and other adults. Even though their teachings seem perfectly reasonable, you want to think matters through for yourself. When you are older you may express this tension by making indiscreet remarks that totally get in the way of your objectives.

Saturn Inconjunct Ascendant

With this aspect you probably have a rather serious attitude toward life and other people. It may be quite difficult for you to simply go out and have a good time. You want to be serious and to spend all your time performing significant tasks.

You need to be encouraged to believe in yourself and recognize your personal strength. You have to be helped to realize that you as an individual are worth a lot and that you need to get some satisfaction from life as much as the next person does.

You may find it rather difficult to express yourself to other people. This is another expression of your lack of self-confidence, which will change if you get positive emotional support from the people around you.
