Terrifying the World with Tariffs

Posted on March 4, 2025 by cdsmiller17

25% Tariffs Begin (March 4, 2025)

The day has come, the mayhem has begun. Trump tried this method once before, to force Canada and Mexico to agree to a new NAFTA, only to back down when tariffs were reciprocated from those countries. While the signature ink was drying, Trump said that it was the best deal for the States.

After U.S. President Donald Trump took office in January 2017, he sought to replace NAFTA with a new agreement, beginning negotiations with Canada and Mexico. In September 2018, the United States, Mexico, and Canada reached an agreement to replace NAFTA with the United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA), and all three countries had ratified it by March 2020. NAFTA remained in force until USMCA was implemented. In April 2020, Canada and Mexico notified the U.S. that they were ready to implement the agreement. The USMCA took effect on July 1, 2020, replacing NAFTA.

So, no sooner does Trump get back into the White House, he decides that these two trading partners have been ‘stealing’ from America. To ‘punish’ them for that, he decided to slap a 25% tariff on all imported goods from them. That took effect at one minute past midnight today.

There is but one inconjunct, the rest are mainly sextiles and trines, with three squares and one opposition. Two of those squares form a T-square pointing at Jupiter, along with that opposition between the Sun and the Midheaven. The inconjunct explains the underlying reasons for Trump’s actions.

Venus Inconjunct Midheaven

You have a strong need to be loved and to love others as well, but this may create some problems in your life. You are afraid that if you appear to others as you really are, they won’t accept you.

You are likely to feel that there is a conflict between what you ought to do in a particular situation and what would be acceptable to the people around you. Later in life, you may see your job, career or profession as a part of your life that is quite separate from your personal relationships with loved ones. This may cause you to neglect one area in favor of the other, instead of trying to create a balance between them.

This same pattern of thinking may make you believe that you must sacrifice pleasure and enjoyment in order to achieve anything worthwhile in life. Here again you cannot afford to let either aspect of your life triumph over the other. Especially as you get older, you should make a conscious effort to find ways to enjoy yourself, be with your friends and loved ones and, at the same time, move toward your goals.

Planets in Youth (page 212) by Robert Hand (1977)

Trump’s intention is to reward his pals with tax cuts, in effect repaying them for their support. But the money has to come from somewhere. Tariffs look to be the instant solution. Unfortunately, the rest of the country will end up paying for those tax cuts by spending more for imported products. Of course, the upside is that manufacturing and production may increase to cover any shortfalls that occur for lack of materials like steel, aluminum and timber, but that will take years, and in the meantime, the financial markets will lose faith in his policies. They’re already beginning to see the “handwriting on the wall.”

The U.S. Constitution Will Be Hanging by a Thread

Posted on March 3, 2025 by cdsmiller17

The White Horse Prophecy (May, 1843)

Because the written version of this took place about 60 years later, the White Horse Prophecy is considered to be fake news. However, the statement of the Constitution hanging by a thread seems real.

As prophecy, this purported Joseph Smith statement is an echo of Jesus’ words about the ‘end times’. Also, Revelation is referenced here, especially about the four horsemen of the Apocalypse.

Myth #6: The Mormons will save the Constitution. The Latter Day Saints would go to the Rocky Mountains and … be a great and mighty people , identified figuratively with the White Horse described in Revelation 19. The prophecy further predicts that the United States Constitution will one day hang like a thread and will be saved by the efforts of the White Horse The so-called White Horse Prophecy is based on accounts that have not been substantiated by historical research and is not embraced as Church doctrine. ( Church Statement on White Horse Prophecy and Political Neutrality , Public Affairs Department, LDS Church, August 25, 2011) Revelation 19:

Is that any different to the Crazy Horse prophecy?

This sounds more likely, and fits a spiritual truth about going within and realizing that we are all one.

An International Agreement Rendered Null and Void?

Posted on March 2, 2025 by cdsmiller17

The Budapest Memorandum (December 5, 1994)

It makes sense when we use astrological 20/20 hindsight. Three countries promised to protect the sovereignty of three former USSR countries: Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States signed this pact, specifically in exchange for Ukraine returning their nuclear weapons to Russia.

I set the clock for noon, and was pleasantly surprised to see a similar planetary lineup that we saw earlier today with Zelenskyy’s exit from the Oval Office on February 28, 2025. Mars/Saturn opposition squared to Jupiter/Pluto conjunction. Even if the time of this chart were different, these T-squares would still be there.

So let’s compare this chart with the Zelenskyy exit one:

Can you believe it? The Mars/Ascendant conjunction is now diametrically opposed to the Budapest’s Moon/Uranus/Neptune conjunction in Capricorn. The Budapest Mars is inconjunct to the Zelenskyy Mercury/Neptune/North Node conjunction. That’s the hidden agenda, right there. Zelenskyy’s Venus is conjunct the Budapest Part of Fortune, and the Zelenskyy Jupiter is in opposition t0 the Budapest’s Sun. Volodymyr Zelenskyy will come out of this mess much better off than the Russians and Americans.

Only the British are standing by their commitment to Ukraine. Hmm.

America has Become the Bully of the World in Our Eyes

Zelenskyy Exits the Oval Office (February 28, 2025)

This is what happens when the head of state decides that he’s a king. He will expect deference and respect, even when he doesn’t give the same back. Everybody has seen at least part of the argument that happened in the Oval Office, so I needn’t return to the scene of that crime. However, I wondered about the astrology of the incident. And because the first part was seemingly friendly until the V.P. spoke up, I am going to examine the ending, instead.

All of the planets and lights are above the horizon line. Notice that Mars has just become conjunct with the Cancer Ascendant. The Sun and the Moon are widely conjunct in Pisces, with the Moon exactly conjunct Saturn @ 20° Pisces. Neptune is conjunct the North Node @ 28° Pisces alongside Mercury in the middle of the stellium. Pluto is in Aquarius in the 7th House (of Open Enemies). So my question is: who chooses the timing of these events?

Hmm.

Why Is the Capstone Missing from the Great Pyramid?

Posted on February 28, 2025 by cdsmiller17

The Eye of God from the American Dollar Bill

Sometimes, one needs to confront the obvious. If the triangle is ‘integral’ to alien badges, are we to surmise that the spiritual significance of the Trinity is also part of the alien contacts and encounters.

This is the crop circle I personally visited in 1991 in the UK. That central triangle is very prominent. Later, people analyzed the whole crop circle’s numerical significance.

This illustration is correctly dated, my memory is faulty. I stand corrected. I can now raise an event chart for it. The numbers have spiritual significance, too. I believe the middle circle represents Earth.

Hmm.

Is the Handwriting on the Wall?

Posted on February 28, 2025 by cdsmiller17

Daniel 5:25

Watching a video this morning of Ellie Dreams Down Under describing a visit she had to the Great Pyramid of Giza (in a dream, of course), I immediately thought of this chapter in Daniel. The reason? Because she witnessed the hieroglyphics being inscribed on the Queen’s chamber walls with Ellie’s spiritual vision.

The Handwriting on the Wall

5 King Belshazzar made a great feast for a thousand of his lords and drank wine in front of the thousand.

2 Belshazzar, when he tasted the wine, commanded that the vessels of gold and of silver that Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken out of the temple in Jerusalem be brought, that the king and his lords, his wives, and his concubines might drink from them. 3 Then they brought in the golden vessels that had been taken out of the temple, the house of God in Jerusalem, and the king and his lords, his wives, and his concubines drank from them. 4 They drank wine and praised the gods of gold and silver, bronze, iron, wood, and stone.

5 Immediately the fingers of a human hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the wall of the king’s palace, opposite the lampstand. And the king saw the hand as it wrote. 6 Then the king’s color changed, and his thoughts alarmed him; his limbs gave way, and his knees knocked together. 7 The king called loudly to bring in the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the astrologers. The king declared to the wise men of Babylon, “Whoever reads this writing, and shows me its interpretation, shall be clothed with purple and have a chain of gold around his neck and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.” 8 Then all the king’s wise men came in, but they could not read the writing or make known to the king the interpretation. 9 Then King Belshazzar was greatly alarmed, and his color changed, and his lords were perplexed.

10 The queen,[c] because of the words of the king and his lords, came into the banqueting hall, and the queen declared, “O king, live forever! Let not your thoughts alarm you or your color change. 11 There is a man in your kingdom in whom is the spirit of the holy gods.[d] In the days of your father, light and understanding and wisdom like the wisdom of the gods were found in him, and King Nebuchadnezzar, your father—your father the king—made him chief of the magicians, enchanters, Chaldeans, and astrologers, 12 because an excellent spirit, knowledge, and understanding to interpret dreams, explain riddles, and solve problems were found in this Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar. Now let Daniel be called, and he will show the interpretation.”

Daniel Interprets the Handwriting

13 Then Daniel was brought in before the king. The king answered and said to Daniel, “You are that Daniel, one of the exiles of Judah, whom the king my father brought from Judah. 14 I have heard of you that the spirit of the gods is in you, and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom are found in you. 15 Now the wise men, the enchanters, have been brought in before me to read this writing and make known to me its interpretation, but they could not show the interpretation of the matter. 16 But I have heard that you can give interpretations and solve problems. Now if you can read the writing and make known to me its interpretation, you shall be clothed with purple and have a chain of gold around your neck and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.”

17 Then Daniel answered and said before the king, “Let your gifts be for yourself, and give your rewards to another. Nevertheless, I will read the writing to the king and make known to him the interpretation. 18 O king, the Most High God gave Nebuchadnezzar your father kingship and greatness and glory and majesty. 19 And because of the greatness that he gave him, all peoples, nations, and languages trembled and feared before him. Whom he would, he killed, and whom he would, he kept alive; whom he would, he raised up, and whom he would, he humbled. 20 But when his heart was lifted up and his spirit was hardened so that he dealt proudly, he was brought down from his kingly throne, and his glory was taken from him. 21 He was driven from among the children of mankind, and his mind was made like that of a beast, and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys. He was fed grass like an ox, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, until he knew that the Most High God rules the kingdom of mankind and sets over it whom he will. 22 And you his son, Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, though you knew all this, 23 but you have lifted up yourself against the Lord of heaven. And the vessels of his house have been brought in before you, and you and your lords, your wives, and your concubines have drunk wine from them. And you have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which do not see or hear or know, but the God in whose hand is your breath, and whose are all your ways, you have not honored.

24 “Then from his presence the hand was sent, and this writing was inscribed. 25 And this is the writing that was inscribed: Mene, Mene, Tekel, and Parsin. 26 This is the interpretation of the matter: Mene, God has numbered the days of your kingdom and brought it to an end; 27 Tekel, you have been weighed[h] in the balances and found wanting; 28 Peres, your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians.”

29 Then Belshazzar gave the command, and Daniel was clothed with purple, a chain of gold was put around his neck, and a proclamation was made about him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.

30 That very night Belshazzar the Chaldean king was killed. 31 And Darius the Mede received the kingdom, being about sixty-two years old.

English Standard Version

The circumstance that links this event to the present is the fact that many believe #47 to be the return of Cyrus. But what if the past is about to rear its head and do the same to the King of America? Hmm.

Now and Zen

Posted on February 26, 2025 by cdsmiller17

Christmas Humphreys (February 15, 1901 – April 13, 1983)

I’d heard the name before, but was unfamiliar with his reputation. It seems that I may have crossed paths with him in a former life, but I couldn’t say for sure.

Here’s his birth chart:

The timing of this chart was based ‘from memory’ (but whose memory I know not). As there are three inconjuncts, we have some clues as to what made the man a Buddhist.

Sun Inconjunct Ascendant

You may find that no matter how hard you try to show others who you really are, they misunderstand you somehow. 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.

Planets in Youth (page 97) by Robert Hand (1977)

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. You have a natural ability to understand how people’s minds work, what makes them act as they do, and what they are thinking.

Ibid (page 172)

Venus Inconjunct Mars

You must learn to control your emotions to some extent, so that your feelings do not prevent you from getting along with others. It is difficult for you to react to someone without emotions, for you tend to either love or hate people quite intensely. Your feelings are often mixed, even toward your friends. Any little problem can set off your anger against someone, but you usually cool off quickly also.

Ibid (page 193)

There, is that any clearer?

Amen to that.

This Extended Quote from Seth Helps Us to Understand

Posted on February 25, 2025 by cdsmiller17

Earth Stars (photo from February 25, 2018)

“The idea of counterparts somewhat shatters that old concept, yet you still want definitions for the self so that you know where you “stand.” You are so taken with the idea of labels that many follow astrology blindly. You are born at a certain time, at a certain place, under certain conditions — but consciousness always forms the conditions. If it is to some extent affected by those conditions, then, it is because the effects follow in the same way that a painter is affected by the landscape that he has himself created. So you decide to be born, say, in a certain month when the planets are thus-and-so. Ahead of time, you choose the seasons of your birth.

Now: Dictation: When you think in conventional terms about astrology, it is as if you are looking at the cover of a book, not realizing that there are many pages within it.

Some persons will be much more affected by, and sensitive to, other probabilities — which, for instance, do not show at all in conventional astrological “charts.”

The emergence of consciousness into those physical conditions automatically alters them — a fact not recognized by astrologers. Each child born alters the entire universe, and changes the world of its time and birth by bringing into it action not there earlier, in your terms, and by impressing the universe with the stamp — the indelible stamp — of its reality. Each child chooses its own probable version of any given birthdate. Such dates are obviously not just points in time, pinpointed in space. In the first place, since all time is simultaneous, you are always dying and being born, and your later experience affects the time of your birth.

Give us a moment … Using conventional astrology, you will find certain correlations, because of particular events occurring, that are indeed interrelated. Yet many individuals will not discover semblances of themselves in the charts of astrology simply because their chosen probabilities are, qualitatively speaking, so different from the “norm.”

When astrology works, it works because the astrologer is using his or her creative and psychic abilities, and then projecting that knowledge into a pattern that is of itself too small to contain it. The chart then simply becomes an aid.”

“An imaginary ant, a philosophical one, might sit and in its own way contemplate how often you walked the floor in a period that might seem like a year to it. It might try to calculate your next passage ahead of time, so that — prudent ant! — it could run “out of the way” in time to avoid your footsteps.

Your rumbling tread might shake its tiny home beneath certain floorboards, or in the crevices between. I admit that I am stretching our ant tale here, but imagine further that our little fellow becomes familiar with everyone in, say, an apartment house, learning to recognize all of the footsteps that go up and down the stairs. Our philosopher keeps in touch with the other ants, until with time and work and patience, a chart is made and calculations drawn. An ant born at three o’clock in the afternoon, when Miss X comes home with her boyfriend, is apt to have a hard time of it — for the couple runs about exuberantly, shaking all of the establishment, and tumbling the dust in the inner crevices.

I am not comparing astrologers with ants. I am, however, trying to show you that you are not ruled by the stars — and that when you behave as if you are, then you are showing as little comprehension of your true position as our ant did. You are small in relationship to the stars, also, but when you seek to place your fate in their hands, figuratively speaking, then it does seem as if you have little control over your own destiny.”
