In sooth, I know not why I am so sad: It wearies me; you say it wearies you; But how I caught it, found it, or came by it, What stuff ’tis made of, whereof it is born, I am to learn; And such a want-wit sadness makes of me, That I have much ado to know myself.
I woke up with this quote from Shakespeare (well, at least the first two lines). It’s something I’ve remembered since Grade 10, when we studied it in high school.
I feel slightly depressed. No doubt this feeling is due to the fact that I have been working on past life astrology for the past month or so, and now that I’ve come to the end of that one particular journey, I feel at loose ends.
It is also the fact that I can now see that Antony and Cleopatra have reunited in the present time. That makes me happy and sad at the same time.
Plus, it didn’t help my state of mind researching for hours and hours about the tragic life and death stories of Sharon Tate and Jay Sebring. It’s a sad story of love and loss.
But now I must do something else, something different, something new. I wonder what.
There has been a lot of speculation on my part as to the prior lives of Sharon Tate. Not all of the work, behind the scenes, is on display here. But, trust me when I tell you, the one thing that connects them all is an individual who is living right now. Because she does not crave publicity, I will being using the utmost discretion about her identity.
It’s the Uranus conjunction between the two birth charts that shows me the link between them: they are only 1′ apart (both retrograde) in Gemini. Pluto in Cleopatra’s chart is also conjunct to Sharon’s Saturn (also in Gemini). Their Parts of Fortune are within 5 degrees of each other. The other links are more distant, but still significant.
What alerted me? Jay Sebring’s use of the ankh as a part of his logo.
The Prefect Orestes enjoyed the political backing of Hypatia, an astronomer, philosopher and mathematician who had considerable moral authority in the city of Alexandria, and who had extensive influence. At the time of her death, she was probably over sixty years of age. Indeed, many students from wealthy and influential families came to Alexandria purposely to study privately with Hypatia, and many of these later attained high posts in government and the Church. Several Christians thought that Hypatia’s influence had caused Orestes to reject all conciliatory offerings by Cyril. Modern historians think that Orestes had cultivated his relationship with Hypatia to strengthen a bond with the pagan community of Alexandria, as he had done with the Jewish one, in order to better manage the tumultuous political life of the Egyptian capital. A mob, led by a lector named Peter, took Hypatia from her chariot and murdered her, hacking her body apart and burning the pieces outside the city walls.
Neoplatonist historian Damascius (c. 458 – c. 538) was “anxious to exploit the scandal of Hypatia’s death”, and attributed responsibility for her murder to Bishop Cyril and his Christian followers. Damascius’s account of the Christian murder of Hypatia is the sole historical source attributing direct responsibility to Bishop Cyril. Some modern studies represent Hypatia’s death as the result of a struggle between two Christian factions, the moderate Orestes, supported by Hypatia, and the more rigid Cyril. According to lexicographer William Smith, “She was accused of too much familiarity with Orestes, prefect of Alexandria, and the charge spread among the clergy, who took up the notion that she interrupted the friendship of Orestes with their archbishop, Cyril.” Scholasticus writes that Hypatia ultimately fell “victim to the political jealousy which at the time prevailed”. News of Hypatia’s murder provoked great public denunciation, not only of Cyril but of the whole Alexandrian Christian community.
So, this is not proof of Cyril’s part in Hypatia’s death: just rumour and innuendo. This was just a hunch yesterday, but I felt that Jay Sebring may have a link to Hypatia’s death, so I decided to make a chart for Cyril of the day he became “Pope” of Alexandria.
The timing is randomized, but the chart still reveals a double Yod involving the Ascendant, the Sun, a Pluto/Neptune conjunction and the Midheaven. Interesting…
It is only when you compare this event with Jay Sebring’s birth chart that you see what I intuited yesterday.
Each chart’s Part of Fortune is @ 16 degrees Aquarius. Again because Jay’s birth time was also randomized seeing his Ascendant is conjunct to Cyril’s (event) Mars/Pluto/Neptune energy does not constitute proof of a karmic debt, but it implies guilt by association. Jay’s Moon is conjunct the event Jupiter, Mercury is conjunct Mercury, Jay’s Sun is conjunct the event Venus, and Jay’s Neptune is conjunct the event Moon.
Maybe Jay was atoning for Saint Cyril’s opposition to Hypatia, when he became Sharon Tate’s friend, even until death. I don’t know for sure, but it ‘feels’ right.
He was born Thomas John Kummer, but changed his name when he became the hair stylist to the stars in Hollywood. He had a relationship with Sharon Tate between 1964 and 1966. Their friendship continued on even after Tate got involved with Roman Polanski.
Sebring’s birth time is randomized, and yet when compared with his ‘murder’ chart, the Ascendants are in the same sign of Taurus. I wasn’t expecting that. That doesn’t make the birth time correct, however, so the actual House placements might be different. However, he married in 1960, so this could be represented by Venus in his birth chart.
The number of linked planets between the two charts seem more than coincidental: ‘natal’ Moon conjunct ‘fatal’ Moon/Venus; ‘natal’ Venus/Mars conjunct ‘fatal’ Neptune; ‘natal’ Jupiter conjunct ‘fatal’ Jupiter/Uranus; and finally, ‘natal’ Saturn conjunct ‘fatal’ Midheaven.
And then there are those Yods between the two charts. His murder seems destined in some way. Karmic, maybe? (Now there’s a thought…)
It seems to me that we humans are using very little of our brain’s capacity to think.
We are programmed into believing that the government and our leaders are telling the truth and that everyone else is lying. And yet, at the same time, our television programs and Hollywood movies are telling us not to trust the government and our leaders.
What are we really meant to think?
I’m going to skip talking about the pandemic. I don’t need to say anything more because so many people the world over are questioning what it’s all about. It’s enough to say that 2020 is an election year in the United States, and ‘fear’ seems to be the only motivator to get people out to vote. Oh, and racial inequality is uppermost in many peoples’ thoughts. Isn’t it obvious that the pandemic was losing its grip on the population, so the other ‘problem’ needed to be resurrected? Main Stream Media.
Americans still hope that God is on their side, but which side? Division weakens the country, so taking any side of an argument keeps everyone fighting among themselves.
“In the realm of the occult and transcendental, moved to its exploration from the Sadducean bias of my early days, I have for the best part of half a century had experiences rarely equaled by any, and I am sure, surpassed by none; yet have they led me up till now, I admit, to no very definite conclusions. With suspension of judgment, therefore, not being given to dogmatize on anything, and with open mind I trust, in equipoise of thought desiring to hold an even balance of opinion ‘twixt this and that, I am studious still of being receptive of light from every source—rejecting nothing that in the least degree makes for righteousness, hence my taking the chair here tonight, hoping to learn what may help to resolve a few of the many perplexities of life, to wit: Why some live to the ripe old age of my dear father while others live but for a moment, to be born, gasp and die. Why some are born rich and others poor; some having wealth only to corrupt, defile, deprave others therewith, while meritorious poverty struggles and toils for human betterment all unaided. Some gifted with mentality; others pitiably lacking capacity. Some royal‑souled from the first naturally, others with brutal, criminal propensities from beginning to end.
“The sins of the fathers visited upon the children unto the third and fourth generation may in heredity account for much, but I want to see through the mystery of a good father at times having a bad son, as also of one showing genius and splendid faculties—the offspring of parentage the reverse of anything suggesting qualities contributive thereto. Then as a clergyman, I have in my reading noted texts of Holy Scripture, and come across passages in the writings of the Fathers of the Early Church which seem to be root‑thoughts, or survivals of the old classic idea of re‑incarnation.
“The prophet Jeremiah (1:5) writes, ‘The word of the Lord came unto me saying, before I formed thee, I knew thee, and before thou wast born I sanctified thee and ordained thee a prophet.’
“Does this mean that the Eternal‑Uncreate chose, from foreknowledge of what Jeremiah would be, the created Ego of His immaterialized servant in heaven ere he clothed his soul with the mortal integument of flesh in human birth—schooling him above for the part he had to play here below as a prophet to dramatize in his life and teaching the will of the Unseen? To the impotent man at the Pool of Bethesda, whose infirmity was the cruel experience of eight and thirty years, the Founder of our religion said (John 5:14), ‘Behold, thou art made whole; sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.’ Was it (fitting the punishment to the crime proportionately) some outrageous sin as a boy, in the spring of years and days of his inexperienced youth of bodily life, that brought on him such physical sorrow, which youthful sin in its repetition would necessitate an even worse ill than this nearly forty years of sore affliction? ‘Who did sin, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?’ (John 9:2), was the question of the disciples to Jesus. And our query is—Sinned before he was born to deserve the penalty of being born blind?
“Then of John the Baptist—was he a reincarnation of Elijah, the prophet, who was to come again? (Malachi 4:5). Jesus said he was Elijah, who indeed had come, and the evil‑minded Jews had done unto him whatsoever they listed. Herod had beheaded him (Matthew 11:14 and 17:12).
“Elijah and John the Baptist appear from our reference Bibles and Cruden’s Concordance to concur and commingle in one. The eighth verse of the first chapter of the second Book of Kings and the fourth verse of the third chapter of St. Matthew’s Gospel note similarities in them and peculiarities of dress. Elijah, as we read, was a ‘hairy man and girt a leathern girdle about his loins,’ while John the Baptist had ‘his raiment of camel’s hair and a leathern girdle about his loins.’ Their home was the solitude of the desert. Elijah journeyed forty days and forty nights unto Horeb, the mount of God in the Wilderness of Sinai. John the Baptist was in the wilderness of Judea beyond Jordan baptizing. And their life in exile—a self‑renunciating and voluntary withdrawal from the haunts of men—was sustained in a parallel remarkable way by food (bird—brought on wing—borne). ‘I have commanded the ravens to feed thee,’ said the voice of Divinity to the prophet; while locusts and wild honey were the food of the Baptist.
“‘And above all,’ said our Lord of John the Baptist to the disciples, ‘if ye will receive it, this is Elias which was for to come.’
“Origen, in the second century, one of the most learned of the Fathers of the early Church, says that this declares the pre‑existence of John the Baptist as Elijah before his decreed later existence as Christ’s forerunner.
“Origen also says on the text, ‘Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated,’ that if our course be not marked out according to our works before this present life that now is, how would it not be untrue and unjust in God that the elder brother should serve the younger and be hated by God (though blessed of righteous Abraham’s son, of Isaac) before Esau had done anything deserving of servitude or given any occasion for the merciful Almighty’s hatred?
“Further, on the text (Ephesians 1:4), ‘God who hath chosen us before the foundation of the world,’ Origen says that this suggests our pre‑existence ere the world was.
“While Jerome, agreeing with Origen, speaks of our rest above, where rational creatures dwell before their descent to this lower world, and prior to their removal from the invisible life of the spiritual sphere to the visible life here on earth, teaching, as he says, the necessity of their again having material bodies ere, as saints and men made ‘perfect as our Father which is in heaven is perfect,’ they once more enjoy in the angel‑world their former blessedness.
“Justin Martyr also speaks of the soul inhabiting the human body more than once, but thinks as a rule (instanced in the case of John the Baptist forgetting that he had been Elijah) it is not permitted us to remember our former experiences of this life while yet again we are in exile here as strangers and pilgrims in an uncongenial clime away from our heavenly home.
“Clemens Alexandrinus, and others of the Fathers, refer to re‑incarnation (or transmigration or metempsychosis, as it is called in the years that are passed of classic times and later now as re‑birth) to remind us of the vital truth taught by our Lord in the words, ‘Ye must be born again.’“
(As quoted in Mystic Christianity – pages 172-175)
I know this is going to seem weird, but I had a brainwave, last night, after reviewing Sharon Tate‘s murder in my dreams. I saw a connection with Hypatia of Alexandria.
Strictly speaking, I don’t think they should have echoed so strongly, except that the link-ups were too close to be ignored. The overriding North Node/South Node reversal would have been enough, but the conjunction between the two charts’ “Part of Fortune” seems too ironic to be coincidence.
Sharon’s ‘fatal’ Moon/Venus conjunction taps into Hypatia’s ‘fatal’ Mars/Saturn/Ascendant in Cancer. And Sharon’s ‘fatal’ Ascendant is conjunct Hypatia’s ‘fatal’ Neptune/Pluto aspect. And finally, Sharon’s ‘fatal’ Saturn is conjunct Hypatia’s ‘fatal’ Venus, while Sharon’s ‘fatal’ Mercury is conjunct Hypatia’s ‘fatal’ Jupiter. (And those are just the conjunctions.)
The Yod pointing at Hypatia’s ‘fatal’ Ascendant is made up of two inconjuncts to Sharon’s ‘fatal’ Mars and Midheaven. What is going on here?
Two murders, separated by over 1,500 years shouldn’t be so well-connected, unless the two people are really from the same spirit. Reincarnation seems the only solution.
For know ye, that Jesus the Christ is still within the race of men, suffering their woes, paying with them their penalty, every day, every hour—yea, and must remain so throughout the ages, until finally the soul of every man, yea, even that of the last man; the most degraded man in the world, is fully cleansed of the Karmic taint, and thus fully “redeemed” and “saved.” And within the soul of every man is found the Christ Principle, striving ever to elevate and lift up the individual toward that realization of the Real Self—and this is what “redemption” and “salvation” really means. Not a saving from hell‑fire, but a saving from the fire of carnality, and mortality. Not a redemption from imaginary sins, but a redemption from the muck and mire of earth‑life. The God within you is like the fabled Hindu god who descended into the body of a pig and then forgot Himself. It is to bring you to a realization that you are a god and not a pig, that Jesus, the Master, is working within your soul as the Christ Principle. Have you never heard His voice, crying from within your soul, “Come out—come out of your pig‑nature and realize the god that you verily are!” It is this “recognition, realization and manifestation of the god within you” that constitutes “salvation” and “redemption.”
(The Ninth Lesson: The Inner Teachings – pages 144-5)
