The Murder of Dennis Wustenhoff (July 14, 1948 – February 15, 1990)
There’s no ‘proof’ that the husband of Dennis Wustenhoff‘s lover actually planted the bomb that blew up Dennis’ car in 1990, but, as has been shown, this ‘bomb squad’ policeman had the motive, the ability and the means to do so. But, other than being questioned at the time, he has never been arrested, nor charged. (I won’t name him here, because this is not a vigilante post.)
This birth chart is randomized. I was hoping to see ‘something’ at age 41 (the age Dennis was when he died). I wasn’t disappointed: the Sun @ 22° Cancer 20′. That makes the Jupiter (@ 20° Sagittarius 39′) conjunct Ascendant (@ 21° Sagittarius 59′) very significant. These three points in the chart are joined by an inconjunct.
Sun Inconjunct Jupiter
This can be an extremely useful aspect, if you learn to have more self-control in what you do. Jupiter is always high-spirited, wanting to do and encounter everything and enjoy life thoroughly. Yet in some combinations, it means that you are unwilling to work for what you want. You may feel that you are such a fine person that you deserve to have everything done for you. Certainly you are worthwhile in your way, but that doesn’t give you a right to be taken care of without contributing your share. As with all Sun-Jupiter energies, if you learn to support others, to make them feel good and happy in your presence, you will get their support as well. Then there will always be someone to help you when you need it. But if you act arrogant toward others, they may not stay around to support you.
Sun Inconjunct Ascendant
You may find that no matter how hard you try to show others who you really are, they misunderstand you somehow. This is because the angular relationship between your rising sign and Sun sign indicates that your internal energies are quite different from the energies that you show to the world. You are not intentionally dishonest with the world, you simply present a confusing complex of energies. As you get older, you will learn more about your effect on people, which will enable you to put the two sides of your personality together so that they work smoothly. Be patient and do not hurry. Look at each relationship as an opportunity to learn more about yourself through your effects upon others. You will know you have learned this when you no longer attract people who are psychologically difficult to deal with.
Jupiter Conjunct Ascendant
This aspect usually helps you get along with people, because your generosity and helpfulness make a good impression on them. You are open and honest and prefer to be around other people who are also. Usually you are optimistic and cheerful, and even when you are not very happy inside, you manage to hide it from others. When you are so unhappy that you can’t hide your feelings, people are naturally sympathetic and want to help you.

The Murder Chart
This is a fairly accurate time. It turns out the bomb was probably planted to go off on Valentine’s Day, but Dennis took the day off to take one of his daughters to her Valentine dance. It wasn’t ignited until the next day when he set off to go to work at noon. He died three hours later.
So, what about that Yod? Timing is everything, we know, but the planting of the bomb doesn’t count. Only when it exploded was the Yod triggered. See what I mean? The inconjuncts, pointing at the Ascendant @ 19° Gemini 52′, tells me a lot (including that the timing was exactly appropriate, even if that seems a little harsh). Venus and Saturn on one hand, and Pluto on the other. Amazing. All the elements of a soap opera…
Now look at the two charts combined:
When a man’s beginning and ending are opposed (Sagittarius/Gemini Ascendants), it is almost too neat, but sometimes that is the way we can see if any of this is true. Dennis’ actions took nine months before the karma came back to get him in the bum. He would have known who, and he definitely knew why.
I couldn’t rule out the mob having a hand in this event (Pluto), but without the cop (Saturn) being angry about his wife’s infidelity (Venus), the action may never have been carried out.
The lesson? Don’t mess about with another man’s wife, in front of that man, especially if he’s an explosives expert.
(Curtain opens with one character on stage: ROXY. He is a short, fat man with a rodund face. He is wearing a light grey suit, with a black shirt. Near where he is sitting is DEREK’s sleeping bag in the same position as the first act. The stage lighting should now be green.)
ROXY: Oh, woe is me. I feel so low. I’ve no job, no money, no future, and no home. I’m doomed to live the rest of my life, dismally.
(DEREK enters, speaking to someone offstage.)
DEREK: I hope to see you again. Maybe we can have another fish fry.
(DEREK, walking backwards and waving, trips over ROXY.)
ROXY: Ow! Watch where you’re going, young man.
DEREK: Pardon me. I didn’t see you.
ROXY: I don’t see how you could, unless you had eyes in the back of your head. Do you always trip over people, while you’re walking backwards?
DEREK: I’m sorry: I was preoccupied with saying goodbye to a very beautiful lady.
ROXY: That’s still no reason to be negligent with others. Are you, by any chance, the boy they call Derek?
DEREK: Yes, I am. What can I do for you?
ROXY: The name is Roxy, Reverend Regent Roxy, and deliveries is my present game. No, I didn’t say that right: let me try again. Roxy’s the name; delivery’s the game. There, that sounds better. I’ve been waiting for you.
DEREK: Have you something for me?
ROXY: As a matter of fact, I do.
DEREK: Who’s it from?
ROXY: Your grandfather.
DEREK: Which one, I have two?
ROXY: Your father’s father.
DEREK: He used to be a minister, too.
ROXY: I’m not anymore. I quit to go into politics.
DEREK: Why?
ROXY: I thought there was a secure job in promising bright futures for people.
DEREK: How do you like politics?
(Page 31)
ROXY: I don’t: my constituents voted me out of office.
DEREK: What made them change their minds?
ROXY: They discovered that the future wasn’t as beautiful as I’d painted it.
DEREK: Maybe you should have stayed with the church. At least your promises couldn’t be proven right or wrong, until it’s too late.
ROXY: In a way, you’re right; but ministers don’t make very much money, and I love money. There was no way that I wanted to live on the poverty line. Now I live below it.
DEREK: Couldn’t you have been a little more subtle about your promises, you know, a little more vague?
ROXY: In retrospect, yes; but when you’re fighting for every vote you get, your imagination tends to take over. As the leader of my party, I promised control of inflation, srength of the dollar, and increasing the employment rate. It didn’t take long for everyone to realise that nothing could be further from the truth. I even went do far as to work out a formula and graph the results, but all to no avail.
DEREK: So, what do you do now?
ROXY: Not very much. I sit around talking to people, running errands, carrying messages, and collecting welfare benefits when I can.
DEREK: What has my grandfather sent me?
ROXY: Birthday greetings.
DEREK: But my birthday was a month-and-a-half ago.
ROXY: He also sends his regrets. He forgot what the date was. Did you get his card? (DEREK shakes his head.) Damn mail service: I was hoping to improve it. At any rate, he was going to send you a book, but he forgot what your address was.
DEREK: A book?
ROXY: He wasn’t sure which one to buy because he forgot your age.
DEREK: When you report back to him, tell him I’m twelve.
ROXY: A decade plus two. More than half a score. Almost an eighth of a century.
DEREK: Do you like math, too?
ROXY: I’ve always been partial to figures, especially the female kind. 8’s and 9’s are the best. I prefer multiplication over the other functions because it involves adding to the basic figure any number of times you want.
DEREK: Do you have an eye for beauty, then?
(Page 32)
ROXY: Naturally, I’m drawn to beauty like paint to canvas. Or is that ink to paper? Anyway, I write poetry, also.
DEREK: Do you? My father does, too.
ROXY: That reminds me, your father asked your grandfather, who asked me, to pass along one of his special poems to you.
DEREK: Great. What’s it called?
ROXY: I have it right here. (Pulls it out of a pocket.) Let’s see: it’s called “Upon Peace”. Sounds like one of those protest songs from the ’60’s. He wrote it when he was a teenager.
DEREK: May I have it?
ROXY: One the condition that you don’t read it until after I’m gone.
DEREK: Alright. If I must.
(ROXY gives DEREK a piece of paper.)
ROXY: Good, now let’s have a talk.
DEREK: What about?
ROXY: Some general tidbits: you know, words to the wise, gems and other rare items.
DEREK: Okay, shoot.
ROXY: Don’t say that: sometimes, I’m tempted to do myself in.
DEREK: But you know that it’s a crime, both legally and morally.
ROXY: I know, but th eideais still inviting. Now, where were we?
DEREK: Tidbits, gems, (under his breath) rocks in your head…
ROXY: I remember; I’m not like your grandfather: he’s forget his own birthday, if I weren’t there to remind him.
DEREK: I’m not so sure. He seems to be able to quote biblical references accurately enough, anytime he writes to me.
ROXY: Yes, but have you noticed that he quotes the book, chapter, and verse number, but not the actual quotations?
DEREK: Sure, but that’s just to make me look up the saying in the Bible. How else could he be sure I was reading it?
ROXY: Good point. I wonder if he realises it?
DEREK: I’m sure he does. Please get on with your words to the wise, etc. I’m impatiently curious to read my father’s poem.
ROXY: Oh ho! One of those “Here’s your hat, what’s your hurray?” lines.
(Page 33)
DEREK: Well, you know the saying, “A rolling stone gathers no moss.”
ROXY: He gathers no money, either.
DEREK: I’m sorry: take whatever time you need. (Under breath) He probably gets paid by the hour. I hope not.
ROXY: No, I’ll keep it as brief as I can.
DEREK: Excuse me for being so bold as to say, “Thank you.”
ROXY: My even bolder advice is as follows: a) treat all people the same; b) tell the truth, if possible; c) don’t promise to do things you couldn’t possibly achieve; d) mind your own business; and, finally, e) keep n touch with your family.
DEREK: What a relief: I thought you were going to give me a long sermon.
ROXY: No, that side of me is gone forever, thank God. I hated waking up in the morning, knowing I’d be spreading more of that manure.
DEREK:You’ll come around; you’re a very well-rounded individual.
ROXY: I’m sure I will. Even though I’m poor, at least I sleep better at night, knowing I’m honest with all people.
DEREK: Thanks for all your advice.
ROXY: I’ll hope for the future. In the meantime, use it well to the end. Goodbye.
(As ROXY exits, the stage lights change to natural, again.)
DEREK: I’m glad I didn’t spend the day alone today. It was quite eventful. Now to read my fa6ther’s poem. Oh, there’s my sleeping bag: I can rest on it, while I’m reading. (He lies down) Let’s see:
A Pawn Piece
Today I talked with the cars,
And they told me they’re tired of refilling;
They wished they could stop all their killing
And park in a peaceful garage.
The birds, then, twittered a bit
And spoke of the ‘flu’ they’d caught;
They wished that they could be shot,
To be at peace to rest.
The dogs barked out their grievances
Upon the trees who sighed, ‘How they steal!’
And said that they’d make no appeal
For any piece, big or small.
The trees, then, spoke to me
And told me their tale of woe;
They wished the bulldogs would go
And leave them in peace in the park.
(Page 34)
The cat who’d lived in hunger
Said nothing of her stomach’s need,
But talked of love, instead of food to feed,
Though a piece of fish would be nice.
The rock that sat in the pot-hole
Spoke of times when he was the peak;
As a mountain, he’d never felt weak:
Now he’s not even a piece of it.
Not knowing what to do,
I left them in their misery
And wondered if peace was worth the price
That these could say they were willing to pay…
(DEREK paused, then closed his eyes.)
DEREK: What a strange poem. I wonder what my father meant. (He lays down.) I’m feeling so tired, all of a sudden.
(The lights black out with a single spotlight resting on DEREK’s face. The spotlight then expands, as in the first act’s opening, to show the surrounding forest. He opens his eyes, yawns, stretches his arms and gets up.)
DEREK: Good morning, world. What a good sleep I’ve had. Funny, I don’t remember dreaming. I usually do. (Yawning again) well, what do I have planned today? Nothing much, I’m afraid. I’ll just have to see what comes along. Who knows? Maybe I’ll have an exciting adventure today.
(With DEREK’s final word, he freezes into an immobile state. The curtain comes down for the END.)
If you can understand the reason for things you will be more at peace with life.
The dimensions of the soul react with all impulses to bring about change and development. It is universal to believe in an afterlife, but not always how life continues, grows and develops through eons of time. Life is not linear, it is cylindrical. Patterns repeat and expand as well. It is true in your understanding that you see things in a linear form, but this can limit the out flowing of information.
You must understand that, while thought limits the process, you can restrict the beauty of form. Human contact can be much fuller, if you can see others as beautiful beings, manifesting their light in a prison. The bars of the prison will allow some light through, but often the form restricts itself through the limits of thinking, and some fear to open out their true being, not seeing past the prison walls. However difficult the physical survival is, it is the spirit overcoming the limitation of struggle to bring light into darkness. The potential is available to all, but the curtain of doubt over inner trust, creates barriers. Let your light shine in all you do. Forget the self.
you will need to look inwards to achieve all the things you think have to be done. But if you regard life just as a journey, then time is immaterial and you will confront all lessons as some point or other.
Believe in the flow of life which is eternal. Bring forth the anticipation of the unexpected even when life seems limited and going nowhere. Be more ready to accept opportunities even when you feel disinclined. You need to be more open to potentials and possibilities. There is a meaningful future; it is not a slow decline to the end. Pick up the treads of life again and stop doubting.
J. is there, always in your heart and you in his. M. loves and oversees. S. has adjusted his thinking and understands all, and thanks you for being you. You helped him enormously to fulfill his purpose. T. is here and sends love and blessing. Be of good cheer. There are many rooting for you.
(This time the curtain opens on a slightly different area of the forest. There’s a sign in the middle of the stage: it can be hanging on a tree, or just standing on a post. It says “Méfiez-vous des Pickpockets”. This will set the tone and locale. The lighting should be pale blue. A lone figure is on stage, SCOLDER, dressed in a blue jean outfit with a “Toronto Blue Jays” T-shirt underneath. As DEREK enters, SCOLDER hides behind a tree.)
DEREK: I wonder where I am. There’s a sign over there; maybe it will give me the answer. (Stands with hands in pockets) May-fee-aze-vooz-daze-pickpockets. What does it mean? It looks like French but the only word that’s clear is “pickpockets”. Maybe I’m in the pickpocket capital of the world.
SCOLDER (aside): Putain, il a toujours la main dans la poche.
DEREK: Pardon me?
SCOLDER: I forgot: this is a play “en anglais”. I will translate for you. “Damn him, he always has his hand in his pocket.”
DEREK: Who are you?
SCOLDER: My name is Jean Claude Scolder. What’s yours?
DEREK: My name is Derek. It’s nice to meet you.
SCOLDER: What are you doing here, English?
DEREK: I’m not English, I’m Canadian. Besides, where’s here?
SCOLDER: You are in the largest French city outside of France.
DEREK: New Orleans?!
SCOLDER: Sacré bleu! New Orleans is nothing compared to this place.
DEREK: Oh, I get it; this is a joke, right?
SCOLDER: Who’s laughing?
DEREK: Right, who’s laughing.
SCOLDER: Why are you standing with your hands in your pockets?
DEREK (taking them out): I don’t know, it’s just more comfortable to stand that way.
SCOLDER: How’s “un voleur” supposed to make a living? J’ai a faire.
DEREK: What exactly do you do at the fair?
SCOLDER: How did you know I did my best work there?
(Page 10)
DEREK: You told me.
SCOLDER: Mais, non.
DEREK: Sure you did. You said you were in an aviary at the fair.
SCOLDER: An aviary?
DEREK: Yes, you called it a volery.
SCOLDER: Do you mean one of those huge bird cages that they have at the zoo?
DEREK: Right.
SCOLDER: I’ve been caged before but never at the zoo, and I flew the coop for the fair job, years ago.
DEREK: Then, what were you referring to?
SCOLDER: “Un voleur”, a thief.
DEREK: Then, what’s all this about the fair?
SCOLDER: I said, “J’ai a faire,” I have work to do.
DEREK: Is that why you asked me about keeping my hands in my pockets?
SCOLDER: As you English would say: “My, my; isn’t he bright?”
DEREK: Why don’t you have a regular job?
SCOLDER: Maybe you’re not as bright as I thought. Don’t you realise that there’s not many around? Besides, I’d never make enough money at a regular job.
DEREK: Enough money for what?
SCOLDER: To support my dependence.
DEREK: You have dependents? (SCOLDER nods) A wife? (SCOLDER shakes head) Children?
SCOLDER: Yes, but I never see them.
DEREK: How much does it take for the support?
SCOLDER: More and more, all the time. It used to be cheap when I only had to buy airplane glue.
DEREK: Were your children model airplane builders?
SCOLDER: No.
DEREK: Then who was the airplane glue for?
SCOLDER: Me.
(Page 11)
DEREK: Then, you must be the model airplane builder.
SCOLDER: Of course, not.
DEREK: What’s the glue for, then?
SCOLDER: Sniffing. I used to get such beautifully cheap highs.
DEREK: I thought that glue sniffing causes brain damage.
SCOLDER: Do I look like I’ve got brain damage?
DEREK: Well…
SCOLDER: Who cares?
DEREK: What kind of example are you showing your kids?
SCOLDER: Why worry about them? I never see them. I’m off that sticky kid’s stuff. I’ve moved onto a new high, “plus exotique”.
DEREK: You mean out of your range.
SCOLDER: Right! How do you say it? “Outta sight.”
DEREK: Out of sight, like you’re going to be, if a cop catches you.
SCOLDER: Don’t snitch on me, please. I’d hate to think you were a stool pigeon.
DEREK: Why should I shelter you, Scolder? You don’t serve any useful purpose for society.
SCOLDER: What are you: my judge and jury?
DEREK: Maybe; it doesn’t take an eagle eye to see something’s wrong with you.
SCOLDER: Hold your judgement until you’ve been bird-dogged; then you’ll know what I have to go through, with the police.
DEREK: I hope never to be in that predicament.
SCOLDER: Don’t be so cocky. The English cops in this city are suspicious of everyone, especially other English.
DEREK: Why?
SCOLDER: They’re protective of their minority rights to the point of wiping out any element that’s subversive to their authority.
DEREK: Even English-speaking citizens?
SCOLDER: By a recent law change, French has become the only recognized language. The cops still speak English.
DEREK: So?
(Page 12)
SCOLDER: You know, the cops break the law, if it suits them, but won’t allow others the same privilege.
DEREK: For example?
SCOLDER: The F.L.Q. crisis. (DEREK nods) Some crisis: a small bunch of radicals scaring the whole country. The police thought that they wouldn’t have enough power to prevent the terrorists from gaining control, so they called in the army and took away everyone’s legal rights.
DEREK: Can you name another way that they’ve broken the law?
SCOLDER: The Royal Commission Inquiry into organized crime.
DEREK: What’s wrong with that? It’s very successful.
SCOLDER: Sure it’s successful. Why shouldn’t it be? The police use illegal tactics to gather evidence.
DEREK: Like what, Scolder?
SCOLDER: Like Breaking and Entering ex-cons’ private homes to set up wiretaps, which are used to record personal telephone conversations, in order to blackmail them and extort confidential information from them.
DEREK: Maybe they believe that you have to fight fire with fire.
SCOLDER: That’s no excuse: two wongs don’t make a white.
DEREK: Can you back up those strong accusations with facts?
SCOLDER: Who needs facts? I’ve seen it with my own eyes.
DEREK: Have you any proof?
SCOLDER: The R.C.M.P.
DEREK: Our national police force has to fight very serious crimes: they need all the help that they can get.
SCOLDER: I can see that you sincerely believe in them, but committing a crime gets most citizens a fine or a jail sentence. The cops, it seems, as long as they keep it quiet, get paid to do the same thing. Now, is that fair?
DEREK: I’ll ask you one last time: can you prove it?
SCOLDER: No, unfortunately, I can’t.
DEREK: Then, you’d better use your birdbrain to keep your big beak shut, or the police may see fit to press charges.
SCOLDER: Promise me you won’t tell them on me…
DEREK: Like how? My going up to a cop, telling him what you told me, and when he asks me how I know so much, I’d say, “A little birdie told me so”? No way.
(Page 13)
SCOLDER: That’s right: birds of the feather must always stick together.
DEREK: I don’t want to be connected to your glue, or whatever you do now.
SCOLDER: That’s too bad, we’re just starting to be such good friends.
DEREK: I don’t want to ruin the celebration, but I think you’d better leave, before a cop comes by.
SCOLER (glancing offstage): Parler du diable et il est sûr d’apparaître.
DEREK: What in the devil are you talking about?
SCOLDER (begins running): Roughly translated, it means, “Speak of the devil and he’s sure to appear.” Au revoir, mon ami. (Exits)
DEREK: Who in hell is he screaming about?
Sgt. W.W. Watson, policeman
(WATSON enters. He is a heavy-set individual with bulldog features. He’s wearing a dark blue suit and hat,a plainclothes policeman. The stage lighting should now change to red.)
WATSON: Hey, you, kid: don’t move.
DEREK (freezing): Pardon me?
WATSON: I said, “Don’t move.”
DEREK: I’m not. What’s wrong?
WATSON: I saw you talking to that “Flying Frenchman”.
DEREK: Is that a crime?
WATSON: It could be: he’s an ex-jailbird; you could be part of his flock.
DEREK: Believe me, I’m not.
WATSON: How do I know?
DEREK: You have my word.
WATSON: Your word’s not worth a scent.
DEREK: What would persuade you?
WATSON: Are you trying to bribe me?
DEREK: No! I’m sorry if you got the wrong idea.
WATSON: Damn! I thought I smelt money. What’s your name, kid?
DEREK: Derek.
WATSON: Have you ever been in this neck of the woods before?
(Page 14)
DEREK: No, I’m lost.
WATSON: That’s true. The only thing you have is yourself and you had to lose it. You’re a loser, kid.
DEREK: Who are you, sir?
WATSON: Sgt. W.W. Watson. I’m the local Police officer in charge of this neighbourhood.
DEREK: You’re not going to charge me for anything, are you?
WATSON: I haven’t decided yet. Maybe I’ll just grin and bare my teeth. Makes you feel uncomfortable, doesn’t it?
DEREK: Sgt. Watson, sir: I’d prefer to leave, if you don’t mind.
WATSON: I do mind. Don’t move a muscle or I’ll make mincemeat out of you.
DEREK (aside): I feel like I’m between the devil and the deep blue sea.
WATSON: Not quite: the sea is a few miles from here.
DEREK: It’s just a figure of speech, sir.
WATSON: If there’s any figuring to be done, I’ll do it.
DEREK: I don’t think I’m getting off on the right foot with you.
WATSON: You’d better not try to get off on the left foot, either, or you won’t live to regret it.
DEREK: Do you have the right to detain me?
WATSON: If I consider you to be part of the criminal element, otherwise known as trash, I have a job to do. I can keep you here, lock you up, or run you out of town.
DEREK: But you can’t, you’re only a cop, er, policeman, not a judge.
WATSON: Why can’t I? I enforce the law.
DEREK: But why enforce on me?
WATSON: Now you’re beginning to sound like one of those bleeding hearts.
DEREK: In what way?
WATSON: Let’s say I catch someone in the act of trespassing, as I did you just a minute ago, the first thing that person does is cry, “Police brutality” if I try to get any information from him.
DEREK: Trespassing?! Who’s trespassing?
WATSON: You. You don’t live here, you weren’t invited, but you’re here; so you must be trespassing.
DEREK: What’s the use? You act as if this place is yours.
(Page 15)
WATSON: I’ve been employed by the people of this area to guard their property and possessions from strangers. I’m to ensure that no one gets what they don’t deserve.
DEREK: Then why aren’t you ensuring that I don’t get harassed? I don’t deserve it.
WATSON: What are you, a wise guy? I take my job of preventing people like you from enjoying what isn’t theirs, seriously.
DEREK: How do you benefit from this?
WATSON: I get paid to work out my frustrations. I growl about inequity and I bark out orders to my subordinates. I get great satisfaction in doing a good job. The way I look at it, if I can’t make use of a situation, no one else can either. I’ll make sure of that.
DEREK: I have a sneaky suspicion that your bark is worse than your bite.
WATSON (lightly): Really? Oh, I thought I sounded extremely fierce.
DEREK: No, you don’t. In fact, I’d be willing to bet hat you’d let me leave, if I asked you.
WATSON: Ask me, then.
DEREK (formally): Sgt. Watson, may your captive audience leave?
WATSON (still lightly): The audience has to stay, but you can go; as long as you promise not to loiter around here again… (gruffly) or else I’ll charge you with Vagrancy.
(DEREK and WATSON laugh together.)
DEREK: I promise.
WATSON: Now that you’ve been run out of town by me, where will you be heading?
DEREK: If I expect to find a friend to play with, I’d better try that way (indicating Stage Left).
WAT,SON (gruffly): Well, get going or it’ll be curtains for you, for sure.
DEREK: Thank you for your assistance: I had a good time.
(As DEREK walks towards SL, the curtain comes down for a brief intermission.)
Choose your words with care in order to deliver the truth of which we speak.
The line is drawn between the combatants, and you can undermine yourself, if you are too forceful. It is of little use to force the issue. Allow others to fight for you, as you tend to give away too much. Be of good cheer and trust.
The leaves again symbolise the lessons needed to grow in understanding. It matters not how you read this as the process is ongoing. As leaves fall they fertilise the ground bringing nutrients to feed the next growth. It is symbolic of all thoughts, words and deeds which you, as creators, produce to form the nutrient for the next phase. That nutrient is shared by those which are close, not only the tree they fall from. The ground is covered by all these leaves, which have been blown by the wind, seasoned by the weather and disintegrated with age, but the nutrient is there in essence, ready to be taken up and used again.
You feel that life is stagnant at present, going nowhere and without purpose. Not so. Learning stillness and quiet are important parts of the road. Enjoy that quiet where no demands are being placed on you. The friends and contacts will be there again, bringing a sense of fulfillment and purpose to your life: a sense of being alive. But nothing happens suddenly. You will just wake one morning to realise it has happened.
The time has come to realise your assets, not only financial, but spiritual as well. It is of no concern to others how you use them, only that they bring joy and happiness to your life. You have come a long way towards the goal of life to learn how your nature operates and what brings out the best in you. Believing in self is…important.
If you can but realise it, you have before you the fulfillment of many years’ progress and work. It has been hard for you to understand the value of it all, and time will be the basis of the next stage. We cannot advise you as to the future, as it will unfold as it may, but the seeds have been sown and you will await development. Bring forward all those positive parts you recognise that have enhanced your sense of wellbeing and put aside all the doubt that beset you. Leave behind all the yearning and enjoy the moment. The family have their own paths. All you need do is watch. Justice will be served, so be still.
If you would hear the sound of truth in the current situation, you only need to hear the resonance of justice generally. It will never be appropriate to worry too much about the outcome for no one who can will. All is compromise. You have…enough.
If life is to be lived to the fullest you need to realise the limits of time, and cease wallowing in concerns of your health. If your time has come, it has come, so don’t waste it worrying and doubting all the time. Embrace each day. Your case is nearly sorted out, so that concern will be behind you. Leave the rest to happenchance.
Herschel Grynszpan Shooting Ernst vom Rath (November 7, 1938)
It seemed an extreme action when suddenly German nationalists started venting their anger against Jews during a night and a day in November 1938. The German authorities were instructed not to interfere:
At 1:20 a.m. on 10 November 1938, Reinhard Heydrich sent an urgent secret telegram to the Sicherheitspolizei (Security Police; SiPo) and the Sturmabteilung (SA), containing instructions regarding the riots. This included guidelines for the protection of foreigners and non-Jewish businesses and property. Police were instructed not to interfere with the riots unless the guidelines were violated. Police were also instructed to seize Jewish archives from synagogues and community offices, and to arrest and detain “healthy male Jews, who are not too old”, for eventual transfer to (labor) concentration camps.
Among those expelled was the family of Sendel and Riva Grynszpan, Polish Jews who had emigrated to Germany in 1911 and settled in Hanover, Germany. At the trial of Adolf Eichmann in 1961, Sendel Grynszpan recounted the events of their deportation from Hanover on the night of 27 October 1938: “Then they took us in police trucks, in prisoners’ lorries, about 20 men in each truck, and they took us to the railway station. The streets were full of people shouting: ‘Juden Raus! Auf Nach Palästina!’” (“Jews out, out to Palestine!”). Their seventeen-year-old son Herschel was living in Paris with an uncle. Herschel received a postcard from his family from the Polish border, describing the family’s expulsion: “No one told us what was up, but we realized this was going to be the end … We haven’t a penny. Could you send us something?” He received the postcard on 3 November 1938.
On the morning of Monday, 7 November 1938, he purchased a revolver and a box of bullets, then went to the German embassy and asked to see an embassy official. After he was taken to the office of Ernst vom Rath, Grynszpan fired five bullets at Vom Rath, two of which hit him in the abdomen. Vom Rath was a professional diplomat with the Foreign Office who expressed anti-Nazi sympathies, largely based on the Nazis’ treatment of the Jews and was under Gestapo investigation for being politically unreliable. Grynszpan made no attempt to escape the French police and freely confessed to the shooting. In his pocket, he carried a postcard to his parents with the message, “May God forgive me … I must protest so that the whole world hears my protest, and that I will do.” It is widely assumed that the assassination was politically motivated, but historian Hans-Jürgen Döscher says the shooting may have been the result of a homosexual love affair gone wrong. Grynszpan and vom Rath had become intimate after they met in Le Boeuf sur le Toit, which was a popular meeting place for gay men at the time.
The next day, the German government retaliated, barring Jewish children from German state elementary schools, indefinitely suspending Jewish cultural activities, and putting a halt to the publication of Jewish newspapers and magazines, including the three national German Jewish newspapers. A newspaper in Britain described the last move, which cut off the Jewish populace from their leaders, as “intended to disrupt the Jewish community and rob it of the last frail ties which hold it together.” Their rights as citizens had been stripped. One of the first legal measures issued was an order by Heinrich Himmler, commander of all German police, forbidding Jews to possess any weapons whatsoever and imposing a penalty of twenty years’ confinement in a concentration camp upon every Jew found in possession of a weapon hereafter.
Ernst vom Rath died of his wounds on November 9th. When Hitler heard about his death, he left a meeting with other Nazi leaders, and Joseph Goebbels then gave a speech saying,
“the Führer has decided that… demonstrations should not be prepared or organized by the party, but insofar as they erupt spontaneously, they are not to be hampered.”
Herschel Grynszpan (March 28, 1921 – death unknown)
November 7, 1938
As protests go, this one ignited a firestorm of revenge. I’m sure that was not what this young man had intended. Sometimes, one small act has giant consequences. So what do we know aboutHerschel Grynszpan? His birth details and not much else.
The timing of this chart is randomized, so I was surprised that two of the four inconjuncts form a Yod pointing at the Midheaven (which is conjunct his Part of Fortune). That Yod may be totally speculative, but the other two inconjuncts are not. The Moon in this chart represents the age Herschel was (17) when he did the shooting, so it might be ‘accidentally’ correct, after all.
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 that 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.
Mercury Inconjunct Neptune
Sometimes this aspect means that you are so nervously sensitive that you pick up all the negative psychological energies around you and react to them very strongly. If this is true for you, the only way to deal with it is to be moved to a peaceful, positive environment. If there is too much noise or too many bad vibrations in your life, you will withdraw more and more and refuse to face reality.
Jupiter Inconjunct Midheaven
This aspect can mean that you have mixed feelings towards adults and persons in authority over you. Although you know that they have your best interests at heart and that they want you to succeed at your own 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.
Pluto Inconjunct Midheaven
You may have trouble with older people who try to teach you how to effectively take control of your life. Even while you are young, you may resent their control over you and resist everything they are trying to teach you. To a great extent, your path in life will be shaped by your early confrontations with authority figures…Your parents and teachers should be very straightforward with you, because if you feel that people are not being honest with you, you will not be honest with them. You are quite capable of acting behind people’s backs if you consider it necessary or if you feel that you never get your own way.
Read, Nazis for the ‘authorities’.
The Catalyst Moment
The timing of this ‘event’ is set @ 10:00 am on a whim. Because the energies for this day are very similar to that of the Kristallnacht, I will let it stand alone. Notice that the Moon and Mars are again inconjunct, while the other inconjunct is between Jupiter and Neptune. The lingering doubt was whether this shooting took place as an unprovoked assault. The idea that vom Rath and Grynszpan were lovers comes into play, here. And, if I’m being honest, the possibility that the authorities hoped to kill ‘two birds with one stone’ has come to my mind. But I have no definite ‘proof’, other than by comparing Herschel’s birth chart with Ernst’s shooting.
Okay, the conjunction between Herschel’s Venus and Mars conjunction and the event’s Moon is my proof. The conjunction between Herschel’s Moon and the event’s Mercury/Venus conjunction backs this up. And, the event Ascendant @ 20° Sagittarius, in opposition to Herschel’s birth Ascendant @ 16° Gemini, proves that the timing is probably correct.
Units respond to the impulse of energy in the earth and sky.
These come from zones in the Universe that are pulsing with the growth of creation. All grows and all changes. You cannot imagine that life is static and opportunities are given to all to partake in these acts of creation to which you are all involved. All action creates movement whether it is action of thought, word or deed. Listen to your own impulses and use reason and logic to think of consequences, for choices can alter results. The whole is complex and the interplay of forces is always fluid and creates new potentials.
In the World at present the connections between people and countries keep interacting, causing feelings of instability and uncertainty. The outcome is unknown and this is how it should be: for creation never ceases. Life is fluid and the energies roll and move always forward. Do not seek stability, for that would be inertia. Ponder on this and accept all challenges in the light of creation.
Peace will come when you realise the truth of existence.
It is reasoned that you will only have peace when the Earth stops fighting for Its own perception of truth ceases. People see things their own way, but many insist that all must think alike, allowing the differences to enhance rather than restrict. Believe in your own truth and trust your instincts which are the surest way to find your own reality. It is error to seek truth outside yourself, as all have access within them. Your culture has encouraged limitation on variance and blinkered the sight in order to create a control of power. But when each is confident in trusting the truth which lies within, peace will eventually have dominion over all. Stress has its own purpose, it forces change. Without change there is no growth.
June
If you believe that life does have purpose, then believe that all delays and upsets can serve.
The human condition requires instant satisfaction, which does not necessarily assist growth. The periods of waiting can often seem too long to maintain any trust in fruition; that you just have to accept that nothing will ever happen or ever change, and that acceptance is all you have. It is hard not to despair that desires and dreams can ever be realised, that things happen for others but not for you.
Your higher self knows all. When it appears to fail to magnetise your desires, there is a reason and a purpose. When life appears to deal nothing but disappointment and pain, it is a period of testing and adjustment, challenging you to focus reason, decision, then right action. The challenges can come in many guises and on all levels, financial, emotional, and physical, plus many others and all are there to assist the growth of soul awareness.
Detachment is desirable but not easy to achieve. Time appears to create a sense of pressure. That is the great discipline with life in the material plane for disintegration and “death” is inevitable with all things here and effort is needed even to maintain the status quo.
Life which is lead with diligence and purpose is the most desirable.
However most have forgotten their higher connections and lose themselves in the material world. It does not serve the soul to dwell too long in materialism, for their satisfactions do not sustain. A balance is needed to be found between using the material opportunities and seeing the spiritual implications inherent in all things. Peace will be experienced if this balance is achieved, and joy in the experience of living in matter. Little is achieved when you lose that spiritual connection, and a testing time is felt when beings rely too much on things rather than ‘being’ in the moment. Even when times are trying, be they periods of poverty, pain or uncertainty, all experience has value and serves the growth of soul lessons. There can be a sense of irrelevance in what is said here, as life as you know it is very “real” with all the material concerns, but life here is finite and the experiences all total up to opportunities of growth. Only your higher being knows why you are in situations which test you, and if you can develop a detachment from any outcome and concentrate on doing your best in any given situation, a feeling of well being will result
If the fuel of suffering is what you seek, all you need to do is dwell on the negative.
Try to see all those things which are good in your life and not dwell on the lack. Your society has encouraged you to seek only the satisfaction of the moment and not to see too deeply into the lessons of all experience, whether pleasurable or not. Instant satisfaction is not what your life is about, but a continual journey towards enlightenment. The menial and boring tasks can give great satisfaction, if you will allow them to. They can refine talents and bring inner peace, the satisfaction of a job well done. How can you expect instant satisfaction from those things that are transitory? Why should all be for your selfish enjoyment? Nothing is valued if it is not worked for, and time itself is part of the process. Keep in mind that there is eternity to experience all that is available, so having to wait, even for little joys, enhance them when they arrive.
Time passes as do the various lessons and experiences of life. All passes eventually.
You do not need to worry at any outcome as everything serves a purpose, be it loss or gain. The material world is transitory and is not to be held onto too tightly. It is in your best interests to believe all is relevant and contains opportunities. Those periods of boredom are also periods of rest and assessment, and an opportunity to look around for new avenues to explore during the journey of life.
Trust those inner feelings whether of excitement or apprehension: they serve a purpose in your development. Learning to trust inner feelings is important, the closest guide you have with the Divine. Those feelings register in the body. Enjoy what you can and be at peace with any outcome.
You ask for guidance about the outcome of this life: why you were born, and what to cover and achieve. During your life you will experience many challenges, joys, sorrows and often a sense of futility. The journey can seem long and pointless, a struggle for survival, to just keeping going.
If you do not have an awareness of your spirit then the animal nature will predominate, and self absorption will govern most decisions until you learn to love beyond yourself. Most relationships are based on your own inner needs, and, generally, it is only through children that the lessons of selfless love are awakened. The family group can be very challenging with the ties of blood. It is in this environment that the major challenges are to be found with the expectations of loyalty and tradition predominating. Cultures are built over time and are deep within the psyche of the individual. It is into this environment that your soul arrives, to go through all the situations which will support and challenge the individual throughout their life in human form.
When the going is easy it is well to look beyond the self, to help and support those in need. To suffer yourself brings understanding and lessons of compassion, and empathy. Like a fish swimming in water, the individual must swim in a sea of conflicting currents of energy, learning to manoeuvre around obstacles in the form of emotion, physical privations as well as abundance (which can create its own challenges) learning to make the best of opportunities with self awareness and understanding.
Of course there is a scheme to life itself.
You only have to read the newspapers to see much of it being played out. If you are able to perceive behind the journalism, you will see there is a pattern unfolding. Society is in a state of flux. All systems are breaking down to make room for the development of the new. Rumours of wars and mayhem are designed to create fear, but if you can stand back and take an overview, there is a long term scheme at work in the experience of this realm, What appears chaotic is only so if seen through a limited lens. By distancing your awareness you will observe a beautiful tapestry at work. All the pain and suffering combined with all the joy and appreciation weaves a fabric of complexity, which can only be observed at a distance. It may appear that these words seem lacking in compassion for the masses who are suffering and in distress, but the human condition is here to explore all possible potential of the physical world. Even those who appear to have ease and abundance have major lessons to learn and each will play their part in all the multitude of lives they live throughout all time. No one is exempt from an opportunity to experiences, all stations and all roles, barbarian and intellectual, rich and poor, handicapped or athletic. It will all be with the integration of all experience that the world moves on.
In the cause of peace, efforts are made by the higher realms to assist those who choose to channel energy towards positions where they may assist. It is by this means that the flow of energy engulfs the various situations which will help to calm the energies of disruption. Even though you feel that the mayhem of war predominates, it would be worse without the assistance many are giving today. The battle of light and dark is at work all the time, and we need your assistance through maintaining your own inner balance to channel energy of peace through you. We ask this of you, it is not demanded and only can be done with your consent. If you can retain your own awareness of spirit it makes the task easier. While the distress of so many people suffering disturbs you, you also know that there is a greater plan at work and each must play their part.
Chances are that the way forward will ease off from now on. Major changes are happening all over the world and with this comes an internal settling down of those who have embraced these changes. Listen to your heart …your inner guidance, as the days go by, for this will assist you in the decisions you will make. The ensoulment that is happening is gentle and mostly imperceptible, except when you look back to previous times. The stillness of your being grows daily with the acceptance of the flow of life.
Detachment is felt from the chaos that is around, and the anger of those who cannot order life the way they want to. A brake is being used to prevent worse things happening, even if you think that may not be the case.
July
The needs of the many can be compared to the flow of impulses within the sea of life;
it pertains to the kind of urge which will bring new force into being. There is a drive to find a new way for humanity to instill the energies of development and evolution towards a greater awareness of spirituality and joint consciousness. It is seen as a step forwards to development of forces of unity. This separation that the individuals have from one another, and from the collective of humanity, brings distress, when your innermost need is to unite, but defensiveness of the ego prevents this from happening though self doubt and a sense of unworthiness. By believing that whatever you do falls short of the expectations of others hinders progress and loneliness is the result.
There are very few individuals who are so self assured that they do not feel they are somehow lacking, however brave a face they appear to have. In one way or other all feel they flounder through life, never totally in control or self assured. Many will hide behind a dogma of some kind. This can be religious, political, or even ideological, and they will use this to justify a self-righteous stance. But wipe away that screen and doubt will be found. It will only be when growth of true unity develops that the soul will find peace in human form. The sense of separation creates great pain for the soul when the consciousness is asleep. The need to learn to trust each other, that not all have agendas which are totally selfish, is a hard one to overcome. Material fears can blind perception, for trust is hard to achieve, and a belief in victim-hood predominates.
Energies have points of origin near the North Star. These energies help to emancipate and release a burgeoning flow of goodwill which is needed to see you through the various crises in the world. They bring a level of peace that is to be aspired to. Peace means different things to different people. For some it is the cessation of war, to others the quiet of an untroubled spirit with many variations in between the two. By listening to the stillness within, you will be able to access a greater depth of knowledge that is available to you. Breathing deeply helps still the mind sufficiently to open those channels to deeper inner knowledge. It will enable you to achieve more certainty and trust in what you know.
All are given a level of choice, and it depends on the seizing of opportunities that come your way. It depends on the wisdom exerted in each situation. Chances are always coming and timing has its importance here. Which way to go, what would be the best and most productive, relies on the wisdom behind those choices. It pertains to the need of the soul which has a higher control here. When the mind is open and the emotions still, choices are easier to make. So many influences come into play. Learn to love all that you do; resentment can be corrosive. By having a still mind you will flow towards all opportunities and choices will be easier to make, from a clear attitude to what is presented.
There is no such thing as wrong choices as all experience will teach something,
even if it is not to repeat. Levels are in every aspect. Big decisions will not appear as mountains if you are still and accepting. If doors appear to be blocked or closed to you, accept this. It may be that the timing is wrong or the higher self is trying to guide you away. If not too desirous of the outcome, all will flow.
Stilling the mind stills the heart, while waiting for inspiration which will come, not from external forces, but your own higher self.
If the reality of a situation is to be understood, put your mind in a state of ease and be still before forming impressions or judgements. Clear-sightedness comes with maturity and the stilling of emotions. It is in this manner that time brings its rewards. Belief comes through experience, not from dogma. The tightness of dogma prevents the flow of information to the heart. Learning to communicate with the unseen realms can only happen with this in mind. Many fear even the thought of the unseen having an influence on their lives. You are here to develop a union with the unseen and matter. Spirit is your tool to create this union. The overall intent is unity. With this unity is creation; the weaving of all experience and experimentation is creation using all material available, body, mind and spirit. Inspiration comes through spirit.
If the need arises, you will find all things required for your progress. It is the lack of trust in your own ability to attract which prevents the easy flow of life. This lack of trust is a problem you all face when in human form as the mind gets busy with doubt in your own worthiness and ability. It is learning to work with your own true nature that is the task….not to expect obstacles but recognise challenges and delays as tests. See the weave of circumstances in life. You are all interconnected, weaving a tapestry of experience. Emotion is the greatest challenge of all as it fluctuates, ebbs and flows. Being balanced is so important, fear is the saboteur.
Another challenge in the present time is stillness. You are so used to action and instant gratification. You seek excitement and purpose when life itself is purpose enough. It is hard to accept tedium and an apparent lack of progress and to be truly still within.
The scheme of things is triumphal in the extreme and will produce a quantity of ways to move forward to new beginnings. It requires a united will to succeed. In fact the outcome will surprise you as imagining cannot encompass the possibilities yet.
Belief is the essence in the creation of the new.
Doubt will delay the process. Time and timing are essential to produce anything in the realm of form but is immaterial in the realm of spirit. It is still hard for you to appreciate the differences in each state while the brain, rather than the knowing, predominates. Doubt and questioning prevent so many realisations from taking form and belie the possibilities which are available to you. Expectations of how it should be can also block vision from seeing potentials which may be regarded as alien.
What is needed to resolve many problems is the good will to overcome obstacles. It requires a concerted effort to control the emotional response to see the bigger picture. Time has passed where the uncontrolled desire to support the ego should end. Inner peace creates a balance within the being and this enables as overview which show all possibilities. Bring into focus the sense of unity with all things. The individual perspective is too limited.
The sands of time move on and with them the experiences show the patterns within the life time. This is also a gift of age which has not become entrenched with attitudes and opinions but maintained an ease of perspective having learnt all the lessons presented by life itself. To view life as a series of lessons is a more constructive way of dealing with all the different areas that you have been through. There will be a common thread to the whole experience which is recognisable as you get older. By doing this, there comes more clarity regarding your soul’s task in this particular lifetime. If you have developed honesty with yourself, then the clarity is easier. Try not to depend on the opinion of others when they are counter to your feelings, trust your inner feeling, they are a better guide to truth.
Perhaps there is a fear of self deception, the wishing process overriding real clarity.
Again this is your challenge to have enough quiet time to attune to your inner self and avoid filling your time with distractions. That Still Small Voice can only be heard when you are quiet. Meditation helps, but even a gentle walk or quiet contemplation will do just as well when it becomes a regular practice. G.U.R.U. You are your own guru!
In the hearing is a clue to understanding the secrets of life. This hearing is the listening to your inner voice which is loud enough to hear if you will accept it through the feelings you hav,e when in a calm state and not following the impulses of anger or resentment, or the need to prove you are right.
We say repeatedly about the importance of stillness and peace. It requires discipline of the mind to achieve this. Try to have a quiet time daily; it is good for the health on all levels.
A sense of loneliness is part of the process. Your society has lead you to expect to seek and participate in constant activity and inspiration, filling each moment with noise and burble. So when this stops you feel you are floundering and failing to live life purposefully. To stop seems like a death within itself. A fear that you no longer have the opportunity to live a meaningful life is a dreadful condition.
To be still is a really hard lesson to learn in the Western World. There is so much stimulation all the time. Should you find yourself alone, without a sense that your life has no more to offer, that there is a slow decline towards the end, then take heart. Many are going through this at present. The breakdown of relationships and failure to find another to share your life with is part of process. Indeed unity is what the eventual aim is for the soul, but a unity that comes from a clear understanding of the self. So inner unity must first be achieved, to be still and balanced with self.
In terms of middle-of-the-night inspirations, this one was the strangest. As I was in the midst of a dream about something else, my mind was being told that Satan’s birth happened in the 17th century, and that I could raise his birth chart by looking at the Statue of Liberty and the Eiffel Tower. Long story short, I understood the connection of both these monuments to Gustave Eiffel, even in my sleep.
It must have been an attention-getter to have my dream consciousness suggest that Eiffel was the devil. So I knew I needed to have accurate birth details (which, surprisingly, my Kepler 7.0 program did).
Okay. I think this must have been a pun of some sort (Eiffel = evil), because I see nothing malevolent in his chart. There are three inconjuncts, so I’ll concentrate on them.
Sun Inconjunct Mars
You have a rather strong will, which may be difficult to control. ThisYis because your way of doing something tends to interfere with what you want to gain by doing it. Tour actions in some situations may surprise people by contradicting what they have learned about you as a person. Inside of yourself, you may even begin to feel that you can’t approve of the way you act, or you may feel that you can’t deal comfortably with the results of your actions. In other words, you get yourself in real jams.
Mercury Inconjunct Ascendant
You are likely to have some problems, but not serious ones, in communicating with others. The problem is that people’s first impressions 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.
Saturn Inconjunct Midheaven
This aspect indicates that you very much need a positive relationship with your parents, especially your father. You should not be disciplined sternly unless you are given lots of love at the same time. Otherwise, giving and receiving love from others will be a real problem for the rest of your life. 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.
(I’m also mindful of the fact that Eiffel built a career in constructing steel frames…)
Statue of Liberty (October 28, 1886)
“Unveiling the Statue of Liberty” by Edward Moran
Eiffel built the steel frame of this statue, which was given to the American people by the French as a symbol of their enduring friendship. It was also seen as a statement of continued freedom for both.
The inconjunct link-ups between the Sun and Pluto, and Venus and Neptune encapsulates the message.
The Eiffel Tower (March 31, 1889)
The Eiffel Tower is all his. Looking like a giant erection, it must have scandalized the people of Paris.
The Yod, connecting Mercury and Venus with Uranus at the apex, demonstrates this image in the chart, but inverted. I’ve stood at the foot of this monstrosity, and I could only wonder at its fearful symmetry.
Conclusion
If you understand how a man and his destiny are connected, the next image should be of interest to you.
Eiffel’s Part of Fortune @ 28° Taurus is conjunct Liberty’s Neptune @ 27° Taurus and the Tower’s Neptune @ 0° Gemini. They are all situated in Eiffel’s 10th house of Career. Couldn’t be better stated.
Aeons have passed since the Universe(s) developed into an evolving entity.
Evolution is at work all the time. You see only a microcosm, but look outwards and recognise that in the minute is the whole, like saying that all life is one drop of water in the ocean.
Forces at work are dynamic. Major disruption can bring forth new beginnings. Out of chaos, order is created. This is what is happening to your world at this time. Some see it as the final war between light and dark, but in fact it is part of the ongoing movement of creation. Destructive energies are channelled, creating disruption and the breakup of existing form. This forms a challenge, to realise this action will eventually calm the situation to build anew. Nothing in human life is permanent, all will eventually decay, and in so doing, new forms, new ways will come.
To be in the middle of the breaking of the old, pain and distress are inevitable. It is only the realisation that some will be main players in the action is also inevitable. It is pain and loss that is most feared. Death is seen as the ultimate loss.
It is needless to presume any outcome to the present world situation.
Alarm can be felt and harboured if you choose, but it serves no purpose. Concentrate on your daily experience, those things that you can affect and influence. The path of a creator is to rely on your own inner guidance from your higher self which knows your individual purpose.
Life on Earth is limited by time, so the contribution of each is a small part of the whole; but even small things have consequences like drops of water in a lake sending out ripples all the time. Just do your best from a calm mind and clear intent.
What is needed to receive and share the clarity you ask for?
It is a willingness to keep things simple. You hear of different ways of meditation which vary from one another, but the same principles apply: you will know the right method for you. Speak clearly about inner thoughts and avoid seeking to win an outcome. Compromise is the only way forward. There is no right or wrong way, but rather what is appropriate. To try to impose thoughts does not lead to harmony, else an underlying resentment will cloud the issue, and, like a sore, will irritate and fester if the recipient is not ready. In understanding and speaking your own truth it is the easier path when open to hear another point of view, and reach a compromise that is harmonious for all.
