This post is a direct result of a comment on one of my recent posts: the comment was about the reincarnation of people who died during WWII. That would be about 75 million people (about 3% of the world’s population at the time). The comment was focused on the Holocaust (6 million Jews) and who they answer to in their new lives. The idea’s bit twisted, in my opinion, but nevertheless interesting.
Sometimes, from inside a generation, it is impossible to view your fellow members with objectivity. We are a vocal group of humans who have been shouting the odds since we were old enough to go to school. Have you ever wondered why? Only reincarnation, as an explanation, makes total sense.
List the accomplishments of our generation, and at the top will be peace marches, counter-culture and drug usage. The Vietnam War became a world-wide target for protest. Civil Rights became another rallying cry. Birth control was on our minds, and abortion became a mother’s right. No wonder our parents despaired of our ever growing up. And then, we turned to spirituality and Eastern religions.
In the 70+ years that I have been alive, we have seen how the world really works, and we have been (not so) quietly trying to wake the other generations up. So far, so good (at least in our own humble opinion).
And, even during this pandemic, our generation will probably be the one that outlives every other generation (in longevity). Do you doubt it? We don’t. We already died in WWII, but we’re still alive.
I was a highwayman Along the coach roads, I did ride With sword and pistol by my side Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty-five But I am still alive
I was a sailor I was born upon the tide And with the sea, I did abide I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed But I am living still
I was a dam builder Across the river deep and wide Where steel and water did collide A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound But I am still around I’ll always be around and around and around and around and around and around
I fly a starship Across the Universe divide And when I reach the other side I’ll find a place to rest my spirit if I can Perhaps I may become a highwayman again Or I may simply be a single drop of rain But I will remain I’ll be back again and again and again and again and again and again
A no-holds barred take down of the British Royal Family was always going to be fascinating viewing, but I wasn’t expecting such candor from the participants. In a way, Meghan got to step into Diana’s shoes and discover how cold and harsh the reality of being a royal really is. It’s no fairy tale, folks!
And what was behind the reaction by the British press? What else, racism…
“It was a constant barrage [by the U.K. media],” said Harry. “My biggest fear was history repeating itself. Add race in, add social media… something happening in the same kind of way [as my mother]. To receive no help at all and be told, ‘This is how it is.’”
The implication is that the ‘institution’ of the “Firm” decided that Meghan wasn’t royal material and then hung her out to dry by allowing the Main Stream Media to say whatever they wanted about her. The classic hero and villain scenario. Just talk about the avocados (and the ‘loaded toast’ comment).
Markle said that their son, Archie, wasn’t going to receive security since he wasn’t going to be a prince. When the couple relocated to Canada, the traditional security provided to the royals was “cut off” because of their “change in status,” according to Harry, since they were no longer working members of the royal family.
There were also “several” conversations, according to both Markle and Harry, about how dark Archie’s skin colour would be.
Who exactly did that? Who exactly said that? I can imagine who.
The timing of Meghan’s birth is considered good. I won’t disagree. The Cancer Ascendant gives her a soft spot for motherhood, and also having her feelings hurt badly. There are two inconjuncts.
Venus Inconjunct Midheaven
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, often 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 hat 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.
Neptune Inconjunct Ascendant
This aspect can be a sign that you feel you must give way to others in order to get along with them. This can take two forms, both of which will be difficult to handle while you are young. The less positive form is simply yielding to all outside pressure and always giving in to others’ desires. This will produce unconscious feelings of resentment that you can’t express, but that make your relationships with others rather difficult. And as you get older, if you do not learn to stand up for your rights, this problem will get worse, because you express your unconscious resentment as a martyred attitude, which makes it impossible for others to appreciate or use anything they get from you. Thus the results of your sacrifice are totally negative, because you are not happy with giving and they are not happy with receiving.
But the other, more positive, way of dealing with this energy is by giving freely before others try to take it from you. In order to do this, you have to feel good about yourself and confident that you will always have enough for yourself and others. One side of you likes to help and take care of people and will not feel taken [advantage of] by those whom you give to. In the highest expression of this aspect, what you gain for yourself will not mean as much as what you gain for others, which is the effect you should work for.
I watched the repeat of this program on CNN last night. It makes for uncomfortable viewing, mainly because one of my children absolutely fell for the QAnon Conspiracy, hook, line and sinker.
Q Clearance Patriot
If you wanted to give yourself an anonymous title, you couldn’t do much worse that this one: it’s become a dog whistle for middle class white Americans. Old tropes have been recycled as if new, and the hint of insider ‘knowledge’ has made every Tom, Dick and Harry search out clues to see what is ‘truth’. The example given last night, but posted on 4chan (fortune?) in early November, 2017, was this puzzle:
Then that question (speaking of the MSM): “Who is A Cooper?”
Anderson Cooper, of course! But, I thought to myself, what if he was naming a different A Cooper?
That would have been far more ‘useful’ since Alice Cooper hides behind a satanic persona and advocates the very things that nasty Cabal people evidently do ‘in real life’ (not really…) with dead babies.
OK. Do you get my point? Being ‘outed’ by Q brings a lot of scrutiny on your history and ‘nastiness’.
Apocalypse, Now!
The Storming of the Capitol on January 6th has become the defining moment of a conspiracy theory gone oh-so-terribly wrong. The images on the Main Stream Media of a modern American insurrection were almost too awful to witness. What were they thinking? What did they hope to achieve?
One of the most common forms of forgery in Jewish writings around the time of early Christianity is the literary genre known as the apocalypse. An apocalypse (from the Greek meaning a “revealing” or an “unveiling”) is a text that reveals the truth of the heavenly realm to mortals to help them make sense of what is happening here on earth. Sometimes this truth is revealed through bizarre and highly symbolic visions that the author allegedly sees and that are explained by some kind of angelic interpreter. An example is in the book of Daniel in the Hebrew Bible. At other times the author is said to be taken up to heaven to see the ultimate truths of the divine realm that make sense of the horrible events transpiring here on earth. A Christian example is the book of Revelation in the New Testament.
These books are meant to inspire hope in their readers. Even though things seem to be completely out of control here on earth, even though there is rampant pain and misery and suffering, even though wars, famines, epidemics, and natural disasters are crushing the human race, even though things seem to be completely removed from God’s hand—despite all this, everything is going according to plan. God will soon make right all that is wrong. If people will simply hold on for a little while longer, their trust in God will be vindicated, and he will intervene in the course of things here on earth to restore peace, justice, and joy forever.

Is THAT Clear Enough?
We are NOT in the 1st Century of the Common Era, and yet Q was writing as if he had the authority of the President of the United States. He was pretending to know what was really going on. In truth, he was misleading about a tenth of the American population, sowing seeds of discontent, and inciting war on evil. It’s the oldest trick in the world, and a lot of people got sucked into the vortex, even in England.
Russian Interference?
Has no one thought about the fact that this sounds a lot like a Putin tactic? However, I understand if people who ‘trust the plan’ don’t want to admit they might have been duped. No one likes to feel like he (or she) has been made to look like a fool. That’s completely acceptable. What’s not acceptable is the constant moving of the new deadline to sometime in the near future.
It seems that they’re still waiting for Armageddon.
Mary, Queen of Scots (December 8, 1542 – February 8, 1587)
Rechecking my Ancestry DNA, they have finally noted that my ancestors were more Scottish than anything else. That’s not a surprise to me. But when it comes to royalty, my loyalties are divided.
Mary, Queen of Scots had a very troubling lifetime. She was made queen at the age of 6 days, 6 days! That’s why I have bucked the normal trend of setting her birth time at 1:15 pm. Her Saturn needs to be on her Ascendant, without a doubt.
As a result, I have changed her birth time to 4:55 am, and the chart moves the planets into different places. Now, there are no planets in her adult life, but their echoes from childhood play out later. The exception? Neptune in Aries is inconjunct with the Saturn/Ascendant conjunction in Scorpio.
Saturn Inconjunct Neptune
This aspect is strongest when either of these planets is also conjunct or opposition the Ascendant or Midheaven. It can have a variety of effects, one of which may be difficulty in relating fantasy and imagination, on one hand, to reality, duty, obligation and work, on the other. Usually the reality, duty and work aspect of the combination is dominant, at least at first. Your imaginative side tends to be transformed into nervousness, fear and irrational anxieties. The most negative manifestation of this aspect is a feeling that you have to keep a tight lid on yourself and that if you look inside yourself too closely, you will find only emptiness and disintegration. It is difficult for you to realize that this is not the truth about your inner self.
Neptune Inconjunct Ascendant
This aspect can be a sign that you feel you must give way to others in order to get along with them. This can take two forms, both of which will be difficult to handle while you are young. The less positive form is simply yielding to all outside pressure and always giving in to others’ desires. This will produce unconscious feelings of resentment that you can’t express, but that make your relationships with others rather difficult. And as you get older, if you do not learn to stand up for your rights, this problem will get worse, because you express your unconscious resentment as a martyred attitude, which makes it impossible for others to asppreciate or use anything they get from you. The results of your sacrifice are totally negative, because you are not happy with giving and they are not happy with receiving.
Saturn Conjunct Ascendant
Even while you are quite young, you will have a very serious attitude toward life, and as a result, youth will not mean as much to you as it does to others. Either you will take on responsibilities very early in life, or they will be thrust upon you. You may find it hard to simply relax and have a good time, but even if life seems hard sometimes, you should try to relax and enjoy yourself when you can. Otherwise, with this aspect you might become the type of person who always seems to put a damper on other people’s good spirits. You get so wrapped up in your own worries and responsibilities that you remind others of their own problems, even when they want to escape from them.
In the end, the crowns of England and Scotland were united for the first time under Mary’s son, James I.
I’ve had this book since 1976, I believe. It was printed in 1968. It’s my Edgar Cayce “Bible”. In my earlier post, today, I quoted from it to support the idea that Beth Leone may have been Tek-Le-On in Egyptian times. I seems a bit improbable, but all of Cayce’s life readings were anchored with birth dates. Therefore, Jane Doe (my name for the unnamed 1223) must be research-able astrologically.
Obviously, this chart is randomized, since her birth time was not given, and yet there’s a Uranus conjunction with the Ascendant @ 5 Capricorn. (Is this luck, coincidence, or something more?) There is one inconjunct linking the Moon and Jupiter.
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.
This problem may show up in several different ways. For instance, you might simply have a desire to eat too much, as if food were love. Or you may always be wanting things that other people own. You might be afraid of the world and be reluctant to leave your comfortable and safe surroundings. Some people with this aspect stay tied too closely to heir mother.
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.
(Now, remember, I’m describing Jane Doe’s ‘issues’ which seem to echo Elizabeth’s own ‘issues’, now.)
(Reminder, too, that I don’t have permission to post Elizabeth’s birth chart, so I have purposely misspelled her last name.) Looking at the combined birth charts, there seem to be a number of close links: Elizabeth’s Moon is conjunct Jane’s Pluto; Jane’s Moon is conjunct Elizabeth’s Neptune; Elizabeth’s Part of Fortune is almost exactly conjunct Jane’s Mercury; and there are two interactive inconjuncts, between Elizabeth’s Sun and Jane’s Venus, and between their two Mercury’s.
Perhaps, this proves that you can be mistaken, even if you’re David Wilcock, because we all believe what we want to believe, and when we look for the signs, they’re everywhere.
I’m usually very good with research when it comes to finding out someone’s birth details. In fact, if there is any record of a public figure’s birth, it is normally a simple matter of looking it up on-line. Not so, in this case. Elizabeth Wilcock (formerly Beth Leone) is very coy about her birth year, although she readily admitted in a post last April 29th on Facebook that it was her birthday. And because she was raised in Oregon as I child, I’m assuming she was born there. But, honestly, that’s all a matter of conjecture. I even posted a request on her internet page for her birth details, but I don’t think I’ll get a reply. I wonder why not?
Edgar Cayce’s readings also said he had been a major Egyptian political and spiritual figure during the time the Great Pyramid was built, which he dated as starting roughly 11,450 years ago. This lines up very nicely with the research of Robert Bauval and Graham Hancock regarding the so-called Giza alignment. The three pyramids at Giza line up with the three major stars in the belt of the constellation Orion, and the Nile River corresponds with the position of the Milky Way Galaxy. Since the stars drift by one degree every seventy-two years in the night sky, there is only one time in the past where heaven and earth are properly aligned. That time was calculated as precisely identical to what Cayce had reported in his readings for when the Great Pyramid was built. The Cayce readings indicated that his name had been Ra-Ptah, and he was one of the two main people who designed and built the Great Pyramid.
Ra-Ptah apparently had multiple wives in that lifetime. His last wife was with him when he passed on, and her name was Tar-Ello. When I first did the Conscious Life Expo in 2005, a woman came up to me and gave me a transcript from a Cayce book about all of this. By sheer happenstance, as Elizabeth and I were getting ready to move only a few months ago, I was going through old papers, looking for tax documents, and I found this photocopy from the book. When I read what it said about Tar-Ello, it described Elizabeth 100 percent. It’s exactly the same way she looks with the blonde hair, blue eyes, thin figure, and all the personality characteristics. Ra-Ptah even called her Little One, which was a nickname I had already been calling her in this lifetime.
I’d never heard of Ra-Ptah’s wife called Tar-Ello. But I knew of a person who was known as Tek-Le-On.
Mrs. C.: You will have before you the life existence in the earth plane of (1223) born October 21, 1906, in Troy, N.C., and the earthly existence of this entity as Tek-Le-On, in Egypt; being among those purified in the Temple of Sacrifice for the bringing into the world of a purer, a better race.
Did you see what just happened there? I read the cover story quote yesterday, and this morning I went looking for the relevant information in my library. Tek-Le-On = Beth Leone.
David: Before Elizabeth and I got together, my colleague Corey Goode had been having some very interesting ET contacts. That’s another long story, but suffice it to say that Corey appears to be having in-person contact with multiple different ET groups, mostly benevolent. One of the groups that he claims to be in contact with consists of human-looking people who apparently live in giant caverns inside the earth, who call themselves the Anshar. Before Elizabeth had shown up in my life, Corey had gotten a very specific message from this Anshar priestess named Karee. She told him that two people were being steered into my life by the Anshar themselves, and that they were going to have a very positive spiritual influence on me.
I was actively looking for who these two people would be. The first one who came in ended up being the minister at my wedding, Leon Kennedy. He is a legendary Motown DJ, a Hollywood star who appeared in Chuck Norris films, and a spiritual friend to many of the top celebrities, including Muhammad Ali, Michael Jackson and Sammy Davis Junior. Elizabeth ended up being the second person I was told to anticipate. Karee’s primary description of herself was as a priestess. Once Elizabeth and I got together, I realized that she was about to launch a program called the Priestess Path. That was very, very bizarre.

Then, later we find out from Corey that Karee’s sister had been specifically working on Elizabeth almost full-time to give her precise telepathic information. Elizabeth was able to recognize this psychically, and actually had intuitive visions involving this same person. Elizabeth was given her name, which we are not allowed to disclose at this point. I told Corey the name and he was freaked out, because he was not allowed to tell me what Karee’s sister’s name was.
Elizabeth: He didn’t admit that the name was correct until I told him about it myself.
David: That is correct. Corey didn’t tell me that the name was right, but he just acted really freaked out when I shared it with him. Later, Elizabeth talked to him separately and told him the name she had gotten, and he confirmed that it was the same name that he had been given. This again was very, very interesting: very, very bizarre stuff.
Cover Story…
On this same on-line post, Karee writes a comment which basically says that she is David’s “spouse by a Native American marriage ceremony”, and now she finds she’s been replaced by this white woman… (You cannot make this stuff up.)
Because David is so open, honest and transparent (or at least I thought he was), it comes as a bit of a shock to find that his life has been turned upside down by this new relationship. Is this why he’s so caught up in the whole QAnon conspiracy theory ‘stuff’? I’m beginning to think so.
(Please note that the spelling of Ms. Leone on her charts is “Leon” on purpose, since I do not have ‘permission’ to post anything about her.)
So much of this chart is speculative, I doubt whether it will be an accurate representation of Elizabeth. The Yod pointing at Uranus @ 19 Scorpio (formed from inconjuncts to the Moon and Mars) tells me just about everything I need to know. There is one other inconjunct between Venus and Saturn. I won’t delineate these aspects because I have no proof that they are real.
For me, the real test of its accuracy comes when I combine Elizabeth’s chart with David’s. Due to the lack of timing details, the connections may be incorrect, but interesting, nonetheless.
Elizabeth’s Ascendant is conjunct David’s Pluto! Her Sun and his Moon are conjunct in Taurus. Her Saturn is conjunct his Midheaven. And his Uranus is conjunct her Pluto in Libra, while his Ascendant is conjunct her Uranus in Scorpio. I think we have a fairly good match, here.

Gladys Davis Turner (January 30, 1905 – February 12, 1986)
Young Gladys Davis
In my review of Sidney D. Kirkpatrick’s “Edgar Cayce: An American Prophet” I got to thinking about the young stenographer who came to Virginia Beach to help the Cayce family document Edgar’s ‘readings’ and stayed for the rest of his life. (The question in the back of my mind, which I may try to ‘prove’ later, is whether David Wilcock’s wife, Elizabeth, is the reincarnation of Gladys.)
This chart is randomized, so please don’t read too much into the positioning of the Ascendant or the Midheaven. However, as sometimes happens, the position of Mars in a woman’s birth chart can show when she means the ‘man of her dreams’ and this would appear to be when Gladys was about 18, so maybe the timing isn’t that far out of whack. (Note that Mars is in Scorpio…)
There are two inconjuncts, one dependent on the timing of this chart (Moon and Ascendant) and one not dependent on the correct timing (Mercury and Pluto). I will concentrate on the last one…
Mercury Inconjunct Pluto
You have a rather complicated and sometimes tricky mind. You usually prefer to do things in roundabout and involved ways instead of being simple and direct.
On the positive side, this means that you enjoy solving puzzles, tracking down mysteries and finding out about hidden matters. At school you might do research in science. You have a natural ability to understand how people’s minds work, what makes them act as they do, and what they are thinking, which is quite amazing for someone of your age.
On the negative side, however, you might misuse this ability by trying to control people’s thoughts and words. Also you may love mysteries so much that you get involved in complicated plats and arrangements with your friends. You may enjoy working in secret and creating an air of mystery about yourself, but this could backfire and make others misunderstand you or even fear what you are doing. It is important to show people that you are honest and that you are not hiding anything. Otherwise they will probably suspect you, even if you are totally innocent. And if you aren’t, they will know it for certain.
On another level, this aspect can mean that at certain times in your life you will go through tremendous psychological changes. All your thoughts and opinions will change completely. These stages may seem difficult, but you will be much better off if you let go of the past and welcome the new ideas.
(She’s a girl after my own heart.)
A thirty-three year gap between two reincarnating individuals is not an impediment to a meeting of their minds nor to their joint goals, this time around. I suspect the Source knew to tell them what was really going on, to prevent any hanky-panky between them. But are they ‘soul mates’? Perhaps.
That flip-flop of North and South Nodes between them, puts them on track together. Gladys’ Saturn @ 21 Aquarius is opposite Edgar’s Uranus/Ascendant in Leo; her Venus is conjunct his Sun in Pisces; her Ascendant (if correct) is conjunct his Moon/Midheaven conjunction in Taurus; her Moon is also inconjunct his Moon/Midheaven (amplifying the potential Moon/Ascendant inconjunct in her own chart); and finally her Uranus is conjunct his Jupiter @ 2 Capricorn.
So, yes, they are karmically connected. I’ll reserve further judgement until I’ve worked on Elizabeth Wilcock’s chart, if I can discover her birth details. *Fingers crossed.*
When a Chickadee Came Knocking at My Screen Window
Photo from August 10, 2019
I was working on the Birdi post a couple of days ago, and heard to my right a noise at the window. As the glass is opaque (obscure) I could vaguely make out the figure of a chickadee at the bottom edge. He (or she) was pecking at the screen, trying to find a way in out of the cold, I would imagine. I checked the time (as you do) and found that it was two minutes past three in the afternoon. Hmm.
3:02 on 3/02 in the year 2021 (2-3) has to mean something, doesn’t it?
If nothing else, it is a reminder that the planets are slowly moving on from their disruptive alignments earlier this year. However, there still are a couple of inconjuncts that are highlighted, even though they will not be in play today.
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 your 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.
Venus Inconjunct Ascendant
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, often 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.
(Is it just me, or does this not sound like the potential political standoff going on in Washington, D.C.?)
Roman Catholic Coat of Arms for the Diocese of Canterbury
I had this nagging feeling when I started the run of four Tudor men with the name of Thomas that one of them might be the reincarnation of Thomas Becket. Finally, I compared Becket with Cranmer, today.
I’m starting with Becket’s murder and Cranmer’s birth to show you the reincarnational links: Becket’s ‘fatal’ Sun and Neptune conjunction and Cranmer’s natal Saturn and Uranus conjunction in Capricorn; Becket’s ‘fatal’ Moon and Cranmer’s natal Mars @ 14 Virgo; and both charts Ascendant conjunct in Leo.
Their birth charts have similar connections:
North Node in Cranmer’s chart is conjunct Becket’s Jupiter, while Becket’s Midheaven @ 11 Cancer is midway between Cranmer’s South Node and Mercury, while exactly opposite Cranmer’s Saturn. And the link between Cranmer’s Jupiter and Becket’s Pluto in Aries is nothing to sneeze at either. An interactive Yod exists between Cranmer’s Midheaven and Becket’s Venus and Neptune. Hmm…
I’m fairly confident that these two men are connected, and the different ways they tried to handle their relationships with their respective monarchs ended up being the death of them anyway, proving you cannot please them all (if ever). Is there anything else? Yes, these words:
