Imagine If You Knew You Were Really a Walk-In

Drunvalo Melchizedek (January 18, 1941)

This man was previously born as Bernard Donald Perona. Then the present inhabiting soul walked-in, and became known as Drunvalo Melchizedek, a name he has since legally adopted in 1991. Does this sound fantastic to you?

On April 10, 1972, he walked into his current body. It was all done in one breath. The spirit leaving breathed out, and the incoming one breathed in.

Frissell, Bob. Nothing in This Book Is True, But It’s Exactly How Things Are, 15th Anniversary Edition (Kindle Locations 1059-1060). North Atlantic Books. Kindle Edition.

But, instead of falling asleep and forgetting where he was originally from, he remembered.

The timing of this birth chart is rectified to reflect his Pluto experience at age 31. There are three inconjuncts, with an interesting Jupiter/Saturn conjunction in Taurus.

Moon Inconjunct Jupiter

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

On the other hand, if you feel emotionally secure and accepted, then you will be able to give others the support that you would otherwise have been seeking for yourself. You will help others in their times of need, share what you have with those who have less, and find great satisfaction in taking care of people and animals.

Venus Inconjunct Pluto

With this aspect you must learn a great deal about the kinds of friends you want and the kinds of experiences you will have through other people. Even while you are still young, you may meet persons who are quite difficult to get along with, but who seem to be impossible to get away from, even when you want to. You may be fascinated by such persons, or circumstances may force you to stay with them. These people do have a definite role to play in your life, but it may not always be a pleasant one. They will teach you something about life or about yourself.

Mars Inconjunct Saturn

This can be a difficult aspect because it signifies a conflict between your sense of responsibility and your desire to fulfill your own needs and do what you want. This leads to a struggle within you that may keep you from acting decisively. Instead of deciding what you will do, you feel caught between these two forces, wondering whether you have the right to do what you want. You may feel that others are trying to frustrate you, but it is only your own indecisiveness that is causing the trouble. Sometimes this conflict makes you very irritable and resentful about nothing in particular. Then, when someone happens to act in a way that is obviously annoying, you focus all your built-up anger on that person.

So, the question is with a walk-in: does the astrological chart of the previous occupant count?

In effect, this chart is a re-birth of sorts. Since it is a Pluto event, I’ve rectified the chart so that Pluto is transiting the Ascendant @ 0° Libra. That creates a double inconjunct linking the event Venus/Mars conjunction with Jupiter. As my son, Derek, was born a couple of weeks after this event, I recognize the energies contained within this chart.

Now, let’s combine the two charts together.

Hmm.

Merkaba, anyone?

One Final Thought

“Sufficient Unto the Day is the Evil Thereof”

USA’s Pluto Return (July 11, 2022)

Image courtesy of Orange Juice Blog

Normally, I don’t like projecting too far into the future, especially if there is an element of negativity involved. I have been basically ignorant of this coming event until I watched a fellow astrologer’s YouTube video yesterday. She went on a bit of a rant about it, mainly telling her countrymen to get their sh*t together, by agreeing to disagree, but respecting each other as brothers or sisters in arms. (Canadians like to think they act this way, but sometimes…not.)

The title of this blog represents a partial quote from Matthew 6:34.

Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

KJV

In short, we’ve already got enough on our plate, so why worry what’s on the menu tomorrow?

In fact I wrote this quote in an email to a friend of mine, last week, when he shared another YouTube video about the potential for massive flooding on April 21, 2022 when Jupiter is conjunct Neptune in Pisces. Well, maybe I’m eating my words, now.

Since Pluto is normally a very slow moving planet, I knew that the timing of the chart could occur ‘sometime’ on the day: I chose this time since Pluto would be crossing the ‘event’ horizon @ 27° Capricorn 33′ (Rx). 8:58 pm EDT would emphasize the effect to its maximum.

The Midheaven @ 19° Scorpio 49′ is the pivotal point of the whole chart, so it doesn’t surprise me that the chart’s only inconjunct is connected to it. (Oh, and if the timing changed, so would the inconjunct…)

Venus Inconjunct Midheaven

(This is addressed to the American people:) You often feel that you haven’t any right to ask much of those whom you love. You feel that you must do favors for them instead of asking for their help. For you, love is an act of service, not self-gratification. Also, through relationships with others, you try to learn more about your own and other people’s inner workings. For this reason your relationships are more deep and profound than most people’s. But they are somewhat difficult, too. Your close friends and loved ones discover that you are quite different in a close relationship than you appear at first. It is not that you are dishonest, but that you show a side of yourself to your friends that you usually keep hidden, because you are not entirely confident in that role. You may feel unsure that others will like you or accept your affection. This is one reason why you express your love by doing nice things for people. You are trying to win them over.

However, you should realize that others will respect you if you stand up for yourself and ask for a reasonable return in a relationship. If you constantly seem to be apologizing for who and what you are, people begin to wonder if they have overlooked something that is wrong with you, and they begin to lose confidence in you. Thus you may bring about the criticism that you are afraid of. You are as good and as worthy of being loved as anyone. Be yourself with others, and many people will love you.

(Now that’s what I call a silver lining in a black storm cloud.)

The Combined Natal and Pluto Return Charts

About six months before the 2020 Presidential election, I predicted a win for the Biden/Harris ticket on the basis of their combined Moons being conjunct to the next administration’s Moon. Well, the Moon figures here, too. When Pluto returns, the Moon will be @ 24° Sagittarius 56′ in the 1st House of the USA chart. It’s important to remember that the Moon represents the popular vote. In this combined chart (above) Saturn is transiting the USA’s natal Moon. And an interactive Yod is pointing at the ‘event’ Saturn, from inconjuncts to the natal Mercury and Neptune. That represents hidden agendas and propaganda. (Flash: is this when Trump announces his intention to run for President again?) It’s a ‘cat among the pigeons’ time. All this while Venus is transiting the natal Mars position in the USA 7th House (of open enemies).

Hmm.

The United States seems to be constantly tottering on the edge of a new civil war. Is this the tipping point? The Sun and Mercury conjuncts in both charts seem to signal a new revolution.

Maybe, just maybe, the American people will finally wake up from their collective nightmare.

Light up the Bat Signal!

Just When You Thoth You had the Answers…

George T. Delacorte, Jr (June 20, 1893 – May 4, 1991)

This will seem a bit twisted, logic-wise: in a book about the ascended masters, the fact of Thoth’s passing from this earth on May 4, 1991 made me do a Google search to see who died that day. (The other person who died that day was Dennis Crosby, one of the twin sons of Bing Crosby, of an apparent shotgun wound…)

Thoth is a specific historical man who went through ascension fifty-two thousand years ago. For sixteen thousand years he was the king of Atlantis, where his name was Chiquetet Arlich Vomalites. He remained on Earth in the same body until May 4, 1991. He could have left earlier— most ascended masters have— but he was among a small group who decided to stay. Knowing without any doubt whatsoever that all things are interconnected and that there is One Spirit that moves through everything, Thoth preferred to remain here as a teacher.

Frissell, Bob. Nothing in This Book Is True, But It’s Exactly How Things Are, 15th Anniversary Edition (Kindle Locations 843-846). North Atlantic Books. Kindle Edition.

To be honest, there is not a lot of biographical information about George Delacorte, except that he founded the Dell Magazine when he was about 28, so that is how I rectified his birth chart, focusing on Mercury at that age. His first marriage to Margarita probably happened before that time (Venus) and his success came later (Mars). (Philanthropy should have been his middle name.) There is one inconjunct.

Uranus Inconjunct Pluto (1892-1894 and 1911-1912)

This aspect indicates changes in the world of the people who were born at these times, changes that were difficult to understand because they were very revolutionary but subtle in many ways. The people born during the first period experienced the consequences of these changes through having to fight in the First World War. The second group reached maturity at the time of the Great Depression. Both the First World War and the Depression were expressions of the breakdown of the nineteenth-century world order that was dominated by Western Europe.

The Written Word

The overarching connection between the Egyptian Thoth and Mr. Delacorte is publishing. It’s ironic, isn’t it? If Thoth was supposed to have existed for thousands of years in a physical body, why would he choose this one? And, to add mystery to the mix, why did Delacorte’s mother have to sign a birth declaration for him when he was almost 31 years of age?

Is that the energy of Neptune and Pluto conjunct in Gemini in effect? Very mysterious…

And the only reason I am focused on his birth date is the fact that even Wikipedia has it wrong, even though his grave marker clearly states the ‘correct’ dates.

Hmm…

OK. Enough said.

“She Who Holds the World” (1937)

Helena Roerich (February 12, 1879 – October 5, 1955)

Of course I’m going to look at this person: she was instrumental in Nicholas Roerich’s spiritual mission, and she was a mystic, a dreamer and a spiritual writer in her own right.

Helena Roerich states in one of her writings that she has Aries Rising. That inspired one astrology site to rectify her time of birth to 8:46 am, in order to place the Ascendant in the very middle of Aries. I’m going with that time, too, but perhaps it should have been more finely tuned.

The result is a Yod, pointing at Saturn, made up of inconjuncts to the Moon and Uranus. Could this be indicative of her connection to the Spiritual Teachers of Tibetan Buddhism? I think so.

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 need to learn to live with out 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.

Saturn Inconjunct Uranus

If either of these planets is near conjunction or opposition with the Ascendant or Midheaven, this aspect indicates a serious tension in your life between freedom and restriction. Many people have this conflict, but in your case the tensions may be so severe that you express them physically as muscles tension and possibly nervousness. You feel that somehow you must keep everything in your life under tight control, that if you let go, the whole structure will fall apart.

She who Carries the Stone

When I first read the title of this painting, I thought: ‘That can’t be right…’ As with all translations, sometimes the nuances are lost. Ten years earlier, a song was written with the lyrics, “He’s got the whole world in his hands…” and I suspect that is what Roerich intended with this painting. All he did was change the gender, perhaps as a homage to his wife, Helena.

The Banner of Peace

These days we have all sorts of peace flags, but Roerich painted a picture in 1932 which depicted a Banner for Peace. Here is the painting called “Madonna Oriflamma”.

I tried linking this post with a description of the painting and got error messages. What is ‘someone’ trying to tell me? Hmm. Let’s try it again, here:

Roerich depicts Madonna in purple, the color reflecting Genesis. In the hands of Oriflamma, the Banner of Peace is stretched, expressed through the symbol of the trinity. The artist emphasizes the importance of the “Banner”, and shows that the Banner has been given to us by the Almighty. It is a way, an idea of ​​evolution and people need to comprehend this idea, its movement, without mixing all this with a low, worldly understanding

https://en.opisanie-kartin.com/description-of-the-painting-by-nicholas-roerich-oriflamma-madonna/ (use this link at your own risk)

Well, none of this would have come about without the love and support of Helena.

The Hidden Connection: The Man who Corresponded with Wallace

Nicholas Roerich (October 9, 1874 – December 13, 1947)

As I have shown previously, this astrological research into past life connections is not an exact science. But then, what would be the fun in that? My lineup of three planets in Aquarius in my birth chart implies that I had multiple incarnations from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th. And my overriding impression is of a string of spiritually-led existences.

This man was in touch with Henry A Wallace, and may have been a guiding light to him. Theosophists claim him as one of their own, and although he was born in Russia, he died in India. He rubbed shoulders with the Nehru/Gandhi family, and he painted pictures. He was also interested in hypnosis… I feel an affinity with him.

The birth chart of Nicholas Roerich is rectified to show Venus at the age he was (26) when he got married. There are two inconjuncts, one dependent on the correct timing, the other not…

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.

This aspect will work out with the fewest problems if you get a great deal of emotional support from your parents and other loved ones. You are willing to serve, help and assist those you love, but you may honestly feel that you don’t deserve to be loved unless you are forced to serve your loved one in some way. This is because you feel that loving someone requires you to make sacrifices and to deny your own needs and that attitude is likely to show up only as a feeling of unworthiness and shyness toward others, especially those who seem to like you. When you are older, you may have severe problems in love relationships, because you feel that you are only good enough for society’s losers, people who badly need help or have severe emotional problems. Or 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 the other person does, for you are as worthwhile as anyone.

When looking at Roerich’s life, I am struck by how influenced he was by his wife’s mystical views. That helps to bring into perspective why he would have been told by the ‘Mahatmas’ in 1922 (telepathically through her) that he was an incarnation of the 5th Dalai Lama. Hmm. That’s the Venus/Neptune inconjunction, to my mind. That’s a very large 6th House he has…

Uranus Inconjunct Midheaven

You need to express your thoughts and feelings, but you often upset the people around you with your words. You seem to enjoy creating a stir every time you say something, but this can get you into quite a bit of trouble with authority figures. The underlying principle of this aspect is the need to balance your individual self-expression and manner of communicating with your need to learn and grow under the guidance of older people.

When you feel rebellious and unwilling to accept anything you are told, you should be allowed, within reason, to have the experience that will help you understand your elders’ point of view. Although you may not always agree with what they tell you, at least you will consider the merits of their ideas.

On the other hand, if your movements are restricted and you have few opportunities to experience yourself directly, you will become more resentful of authority and finally disregard whatever you are told, regardless of its merit.

Certainly you will discover your own routes to what you want in life. Now you need to be given the confidence and encouragement to look for these routes on your own with total freedom.

While doing further research on his relationship with Helena, his wife, I came across this article. In it, the writer discusses the fact that the Roerichs were considered Russian Bolshevik spies by the British in India. That seems to indicate the Uranus/Midheaven inconjunction.

Through fourteen years of researching, thinking and writing about the Roerichs, I could not help but question the real purpose of the Roerichs’ Central Asian expedition. Unbeknownst to me, a Russian scholar by the name of Vladimir Rosov, was quietly helping. Just as I had began my work by living a short time in India and meeting with Svetoslav Roerich, reading through Madame Roerich’s journals and some personal correspondence, searching through the files kept in the Library of Congress and the Freedom of Information Act; researching old micro-fiche, newspapers, and the British Secret Files for facts regarding the Roerichs’ years in America, Rosov had been studying and sifting through all the Roerich documents which had been unavailable to researchers before Gorbachev’s Perestroika restructured the country. The results of his work can be read (in Russian) in his two volumes, whose name in English translates to Nicholas Roerich, The Messenger of Zvenigorod. 

In the first volume, he relates a startling story which answered all my questions and astonished the world of Roerich followers. Since it was already in print, I was able to use it, thereby becoming the first person to tell (in English) the real story of the Roerichs’ four-year expedition. Rosov’s account also provided a new basis for understanding the Roerich’s second trip – during which the United States sent Roerich and his son George, back to Central Asia in search of drought resistant grasses to help prevent a reoccurrence of the disastrous “dust bowl” of 1934. It was this expedition which broke Roerichs’ friendship with Henry A. Wallace, US Secretary of Agriculture during Franklin D. Roosevelt’s administration, and led to Roerich being barred from returning to the United States.

Ruth Drayer (from the article)

Conclusion (in his own words, in black and white)

Amen.

A Figment of My Imagination: Lincoln Reincarnated?

Henry A Wallace (October 7, 1888 – November 8, 1965)

This latest post comes hot on the heels of the previous two, as I want to show you how these connections are made. While reviewing a video or two on YouTube, it was suggested that I watch an interview with Oliver Stone that was recorded in 2012, just about the time his new TV series “The Untold History of the United States” was going to be aired in the States. In particular, the second episode (of the TV show) caught my eye: it showed how the backroom boys of the Democratic National Convention cut Wallace out of the equation by nominating Truman to run as FDR’s running mate in the 1944 election instead. An effective coup d’etat.

Overcoming strong opposition from conservative party leaders, Wallace was nominated for Vice President at the 1940 Democratic National Convention. The Democratic ticket of Roosevelt and Wallace won the 1940 presidential election, and Wallace continued to play an important role in the Roosevelt administration before and during World War II. At the 1944 Democratic National Convention, conservative party leaders defeated Wallace’s bid for renomination, replacing him on the Democratic ticket with Harry S. Truman.

Wikipedia

They changed the course of history that day.

The timing of this chart is consistent with several astrology sites. This is the birth chart of a political rebel: Sun conjunct Uranus in Libra; Neptune conjunct Pluto in Gemini. He was known for his “Common Man” brand of thinking. That made him dangerous to the ‘powers than be’.

He was also a turncoat from the Republican party.

So, What About Lincoln?

Well, here’s the thing: there is a huge gap from the time Lincoln was assassinated to his present incarnation, so this tells me that there has to be an intermediary incarnation. The light of my mind zeroed in on this (seemingly) obscure political player and Bingo! a winner.

Not everything is written in black and white when it comes to the astrological reincarnation research. Most of it is intuitive. But then you do the comparisons, and it becomes more obvious. Lincoln’s natal Moon is conjunct Wallace’s Midheaven. Wallace’s Jupiter is midway between Lincoln’s natal Saturn/Neptune conjunction in Sagittarius. Lincoln’s natal North Node/Uranus conjunction is conjunct Wallace’s Mercury/Venus conjunction in Scorpio. And Lincoln’s natal Part of Fortune is conjunct Wallace’s Saturn in Leo (and that’s only the start).

The connections between Lincoln’s death chart and Wallace’s birth chart are not as obvious, but there are some interesting ones: Wallace’s South Node is within 4° of Lincoln’s ‘fatal’ Part of Fortune in Capricorn; Wallace’s Mars is within 5° of Lincoln’s ‘fatal’ Moon in Sagittarius; Lincoln’s ‘fatal’ Uranus is about 3° from Wallace’s Part of Fortune in Gemini; Lincoln’s ‘fatal’ Ascendant is midway between Wallace’s Neptune/Pluto conjunction in Gemini; and, finally, Lincoln’s ‘fatal’ Venus is conjunct Wallace’s Ascendant @ 25° Taurus.

Conclusions

Why does any of this matter? (I ask that question a lot while doing this research.) The implications of a political sleight of hand are that the United States may not have ever tested or used atomic weapons in WWII; the Soviets would not have tried (and succeed) to steal how they are made; Russia, China and the States may have become friends instead of enemies.

That last one is the whole point of this post. The Cold War between Capitalism and Communism would not have been necessary. Thousands, nay, millions of lives would have been saved from the continuing conflicts around the world, and the whole Korean War could have been avoided, and by proxy, the Vietnam War. Can you even imagine that?

And then there’s the other obvious point: our world would not have come under the scrutiny of alien civilizations.

I guess he was right, after all.

Karma: What Goes Around Comes Around Again

Lee Harvey Oswald (October 18, 1939 – November 24, 1963)

Honestly, I don’t really understand how my mind works, but I enjoy the connections it makes.

It took almost 100 years for Abraham Lincoln’s assassination to be revenged on a Democratic President, but the players in this pantomime are not so easily identified, except for a ‘patsy’.

Oswald shot and killed Kennedy on November 22, 1963, from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository as the President traveled by motorcade through Dealey Plaza in Dallas. About 45 minutes after assassinating Kennedy, Oswald shot and killed Dallas police officer J. D. Tippit on a local street. He then slipped into a movie theater, where he was arrested for Tippit’s murder. Oswald was charged with the assassination of Kennedy, but he denied responsibility for the killing, stating that he was a “patsy”. Two days later, Oswald was fatally shot by local nightclub owner Jack Ruby on live television in the basement of Dallas Police Headquarters.

Wikipedia

Again, this birth chart was already on my computer program (and is the same time as several other online programs), so I am going to leave the time as 9:55 pm. There are two inconjuncts.

Sun Inconjunct Midheaven

While you are young, you will find it difficult to decide what to do with your life. The demands of the world may sometimes be hard to handle, because they don’t seem to take advantage of your natural abilities and instincts. Also, much of your time will be taken up with learning routine skills that do not seem at first to have much connection with reality. But don’t try to rush your life. Even if you can’t see why you should learn a skill, try it out anyway. Later on, its purpose may become clear. Also you tend to rush through your tasks, because you are impatient to get to something else, but in that way you don’t learn anything very thoroughly. Or you may try to live entirely for what you think is most pleasurable at the moment rather than for your long-range goals. Certainly you have the right to be young and happy, but don’t overdo it; the lessons you do not learn well now will create problems when you try to pursue a future course of action.

This aspect can mean some tension with one of your parents, although it is not likely to be serious or destructive. In fact it may play a very positive role later on by forcing you to confront certain issues that you would otherwise have ignored.

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. More than most people, you will have to learn the necessity of compromising to get along with people, especially because you often seem more aggressive than you are.

Learn to work for the good of others by making their objectives your objectives, whenever possible. This aspect can signify the ability to accomplish a great deal, as long as you do not spend all your time and energy feeling angry or resentful about seemingly undeserved defeats. When you have a real goal to work toward that you can share with others, you will be able to attain that goal.

Wrong Place, Wrong Time?

When we compare JFK’s assassination with Oswald’s birth chart, it is obvious that he had a date with destiny. The event South Node is conjunct Oswald’s Moon @ 13° Capricorn. The event Moon is conjunct Oswald’s Mars @ 11° Aquarius. And the event Part of Fortune is conjunct Oswald’s South Node and his 11th House cusp @ 29° Aries. This cannot be a coincidence, can it? South Nodes imply a past life connection. But Oswald may be innocent…

Doesn’t This All Sound Familiar?

This is when my mind goes into overdrive. In the Lincoln assassination, there were co-conspirators, but only one gunman. In Kennedy’s assassination, ‘they’ claim that there was a lone gunman, but he couldn’t have done it on his own, he had to have (unknown) accomplices.

But here’s the strange connection my mind made: what if Oswald and Booth are linked astrologically? What if Oswald was actually Booth reincarnated?

The North Node / South Node positions in both charts are conjunct! You cannot be serious!!! Booth’s ‘fatal’ Saturn is within 2° of Oswald’s Sun, and Booth’s ‘fatal’ Moon is conjunct Oswald’s Uranus @ 21° Taurus. And here, Booth’s ‘fatal’ Mars is opposite Oswald’s Moon, while Booth’s ‘fatal’ (noon) Ascendant is opposite Oswald’s Mars. Even their positions of Saturn are opposite each other.

They are up to their (joint) backsides in this connection. This is where karma is involved: Oswald may not have pulled the trigger of the bullet that killed Kennedy, but his karmic debt ensured that he was held accountable for Lincoln’s death, by being accused in Kennedy’s.

The Overview

When we expand the view outward to include John Wilkes Booth’s birth chart in the outer circle, there are a couple of direct ‘hits’ between Booth and Oswald: Oswald’s Uranus is conjunct Booth’s Sun; Oswald’s Mars is conjunct Booth’s Neptune; and, finally, Oswald’s Saturn/South Node conjunction is lined up almost exactly with Booth’s Part of Fortune. Even Oswald’s Jupiter is conjunct Booth’s Venus. Hmm.

Amen.

How the Democrats Killed the Republican President in 1865

John Wilkes Booth (May 10, 1838 – April 26, 1865)

Doesn’t it seem ironic to you that the ‘freedom’ party of the present could be the ones who wanted to keep slavery alive in the past, and the GOP (Grand Old Party) should now represent the South while the Democrats rule the North? That is how more than 150 years can evolve political parties. (The party on the left is now the party on the right…)

Originally, Booth and his small group of conspirators had plotted to kidnap Lincoln, and they later agreed to murder him as well as Vice President Andrew Johnson and Secretary of State William H. Seward, likewise to aid the Confederate cause. Although its Army of Northern Virginia, commanded by General Robert E. Lee, had surrendered to the Union Army four days earlier, Booth believed that the Civil War remained unresolved because the Confederate Army of General Joseph E. Johnston continued fighting.

Wikipedia

In the end, Andrew Johnson did not get shot. Hmm.

This chart was on my computer program already, so I haven’t changed the time, and when we look at the placement of the planets here, we can see that Booth was radicalized at around age 25 (Pluto in Aries). There are three inconjuncts.

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.

Jupiter Inconjunct Neptune

You are an idealist with very vivid dreams about how you want your life to be, and at certain times in your life you will follow those dreams with all your energy. But sometimes these idealistic dreams will let you down, because you are not concerned enough with what is real and possible. Your parents and other adults may pressure you to be more practical in your thinking, but you think they are just throwing cold water on your aspirations. Yet learning to handle the real world is a very important part of your development, because it is the only way you can avoid becoming bitter and disillusioned when your more impractical ideas have led you into disappointment.

Probably you should not gamble or take excessive risks at any time in your life. Your dreams in this area also will probably go far beyond reality, and you will take chances that can’t possibly be realized.

Uranus Inconjunct Ascendant

Your need to be free and do what your 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. One way to accomplish this is by figuring out your own methods for doing your work. Or you may choose to do the most interesting and exciting tasks, which are often the most difficult, so that others shy away from them. You need to be challenged by puzzles and problems in all your activities. You are not good at routines and repetitious tasks.

Conclusion

It has been remarked upon that Booth chose his ‘path’ in life because of his father’s infidelity. Strangely enough, he chose one side of the civil war divide in opposition to his brother being on the other. To say he killed President Lincoln out of spite would be simplifying the reasons, but there is an element of truth to that idea.

But maybe he just didn’t like himself.

Conspiracy Theory: When the USA became a Corporation

The Act of 1871 (February 21, 1871)

One of my Facebook friends has started to reference this Act of the American Congress in terms that makes me realize that ‘something sinister’ may have occurred then.

The tone of all the previous internet blogs and discussion is that two governments were effectively (or organically) set up, one, the Republic, in place since the Declaration of Independence in 1776, and, two, a new corporation of THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Inc.

This is not news.

“The Internal Revenue Service which collects taxation in America is also a private company, though the public believe it is part of their government. In 1863 the Bureau of Internal Revenue was formed to collect taxation, but in 1933, that year again, came the start of another coup on the American people. Three members of the Prescott Bush circle, Helen and Clifton Barton and Hector Echeverria, formed the Internal Revenue Tax and Audit Service, registered in Delaware, America’s flag of convenience state, where few questions are asked. Prescott Bush was the father of George Bush. In 1936, this organisation changed its name to the Internal Revenue Service and ran as a private company. In 1953, the original Bureau of Internal Revenue was disbanded, leaving the private Internal Revenue Service to collect all the taxes, illegal taxes most of them, too. This is controlled by the same people who own the Federal Reserve and the Virginia Company and it is bleeding America dry. The Internal Revenue Service was, appropriately, created by American Nazis who were funding Adolf Hitler under the coordination of Prescott Bush, George’s father.”

David Icke, The Biggest Secret: The book that will change the World

Although David Icke is only pontificating on the IRS, here, we can see that the American people think their Republic is running the show, when it’s not. But is there really anything problematic about that?

My choice of 9:00 am for the signing of this Act was ‘inspired’. The proof is the pivotal position that the Midheaven takes, and especially that Jupiter inconjunct Midheaven.

Later in life, you will enter a critical period when your need for personal satisfaction and freedom force you to change jobs or even careers. When you have learned more about the world, you will understand how to make changes intelligently, but now you should discipline your Jupiterian drive for freedom and learn what you need to know to take over your own destiny. You should learn as much as possible about any subject or skill that will make you more aware of the larger world. Travel or foreign study would be beneficial, if that is possible. The more you know about how you fit into the larger scheme of life, the easier it will be to make the right decision when you have to change to a more rewarding and personally satisfying course.

Conclusion

Because the conspiracy theorists have focused on the Rothschild family as if they ‘own’ the USA, I should remind everyone that a legal entity has to be incorporated in order to limit personal liability. No loans could ever be made to an unincorporated municipality, state or country. That may seem to be ‘wrong’, but I can only imagine how difficult life could have been for the USA without bankers lending the country money, when (for example) a civil war had effectively bankrupted it.

My adoptive father told one of my sisters that she should never get into debt, by not borrowing money for anything. Her response? How can I buy a home unless I have a mortgage? He was never a homeowner, being a minister, he always had the housing provided for himself and his family. Later, when he was pensioned off, he had to pay rent, instead.

Let’s not look for scapegoats, people. The debt load of the USA is in the multiple trillions! The American people have had a reasonably good run as a Republic. So, that ‘freedom’ of choice comes with a price. Welcome to the real world!

Eyewitness to the American Civil War (1861 – 1865)

Jefferson Davis (June 3, 1808 – December 6, 1889)

I have to admit to a certain ennui when it comes to American politics, particularly the American Civil War. But that may come from a feeling of ‘been there, done that’. Boring…

(Q.) Why do you not rub your head when sick? (Ans.) Because I have nothing to rub out. Now here are the two modes of reasoning. The natural man never sees that the misery follows his acts. When he reasons it is all action with him and he never dreams that reaction is the true wisdom, so the natural man is courageous at first, for he does not see his real enemy. His real enemy is the natural result of his acts, which is reaction, the true wisdom that will always measure to action its own measure.

The wise man sees the wisdom of the thought before it takes effect and destroys it. When the patient asked the question, he had the answer in the question for his ignorance was what I was rubbing out, so if he had known that he would not have wanted any rubbing. I will illustrate this mode of reasoning by Jeff Davis and Abraham Lincoln. Davis’ wisdom is all action, not having the element of true wisdom or reaction in all his acts. He is ambitious and wants his own way; this makes him a one-idea-man, all go-ahead without wisdom. His will is law and man must obey. As he sees no reaction or wisdom, he shows courage, but it is the effect of ignorance. Lincoln does not reason, his acts are governed by the people, and his wisdom is in knowing the laws and in putting them into execution according to the will of the people. He is not a dictator but a servant whom the people have chosen. Here is the difference. Davis is a dictator without wisdom or courage. Lincoln is a servant who has respect for his master, the people. Knowing that his acts are the wishes of the people, he is strong; he does not boast, for boasting is cowardice. Now when Davis sees the reaction of his folly, he will flee, for his wisdom is of this world, not of science; for if he had the science that action and reaction are equal, he would have seen that he was building up a tower that would fall and crush him in the ruins of his own wisdom. He did indeed show some spirit when his tower was rising, but when the winds of the Northwest blew upon it, it commenced to tumble, the rocks and mortar began to fall and he trembled, for his reason had departed from him. His friends forsook him and he tried to find a place in the mountains to hide himself, for the day of retribution had come and woe to them to whom it shall fall.

The last is a prophesy foretold the latter part of April 1861.

Quimby, Phineas. Phineas Parkhurst Quimby: His Complete Writings and Beyond (pp. 134-135). Phineas Parkhurst Quimby Resource Center. Kindle Edition.

Well, I should have expected something about this situation from Quimby’s writings, since they were from this time frame. What I didn’t expect was a discussion about Jefferson Davis‘ nature in comparison to Abraham Lincoln‘s. But that gave me food for thought and then this post.

This birth chart is rectified to show the age of 62-63 when Davis was elected President of the Confederation (Jupiter and Pluto in the Pisces 8th House of Death). He has one inconjunct.

Mars Inconjunct Uranus

You have a tendency to be rash and impulsive, which may get in your way. If matters proceed too slowly, you are likely to make a sudden move that upsets the whole situation and forces you to start over again. You must learn to be patient if you want to achieve your objectives.

This energy may also be expressed as a hot temper, especially when you have to endure restriction or limitation. You have a rebellious streak that needs to be disciplined, because everyone has to endure some restrictions, and it takes so little to trigger your temper.

Sometimes you may make sudden moves that startle people. You may make a decision very quickly and start to act on it immediately, but that is not such a good idea. Make up your mind more slowly, or at least wait for a while until you start to act. If your idea still looks good a couple of days later, it is probably all right to go ahead with it.

(It seems that Quimby’s assessment of Davis was actually spot on…)

The Attack on Fort Sumter

This is a factual date, time and place for the start of the American Civil War. I think the most significant aspect is the Mercury/Neptune/Ascendant in the last degrees of Pisces. The Neptune in Pisces alone would have given the ‘sneaky’ nature of the enterprise on its own. But is that enough to tell us how it would end up? (I think this is where the two Presidents need to be highlighted along with the event.)

Again, what I didn’t expect to see is how ‘connected’ Davis and Lincoln were. Their birth dates are a little over 7 months apart, so there will be some overlapping of the outer planets, but the more personal ones are the surprise: the Saturn in Lincoln’s chart is (almost) exactly conjunct Neptune in Davis’ chart @ 3° Sagittarius; with Pluto mixed up between them, Davis’ Jupiter is about 5° from Lincoln’s Mercury in Pisces and opposite Lincoln’s Ascendant. And Lincoln’s Midheaven splits the wide conjunction of Davis’ Sun and Mars, while being conjunct the ACW (American Civil War) Mars/Uranus conjunction. Lincoln’s Jupiter @ 22° Pisces is conjunct the Mercury/Neptune/Ascendant of the ACW. Is it any wonder that the North defeated the South?
