This Man was the Philosophical Spirit of His Age

Arthur Schopenhauer (February 22, 1788 – September 21, 1861)

Honestly, I cannot decide whether someone comes to mind because they’re connected to me, or they’re just interesting in their own right. This man is a case in point. Part of his life overlaps that of William Blake, so my immediate feeling is that he has ‘nothing’ to do with me, but then a little niggle holds back my opinion.

Based upon a noon birth, since his details are unknown, there is but one inconjunct, linking the Moon and Pluto. That means it might not really exist if the true timing of his birth were known.

Moon Inconjunct Pluto

This aspect means that your emotions are very intense and not always easy to deal with. Often your feelings make you want to do or say something without knowing why. Also you may have very intense moods in which you withdraw from those around you into a world of your own. This should not be a very serious problem unless you have been brought up to have all sorts of fears and worries. In that case your actions will be driven by your fears, and you may behave quite strangely. If you do not feel accepted and emotionally supported at home, you may constantly feel guilty for what you think you have done to others, or jealous that people aren’t paying enough attention to you, or generally possessive of those around you.

Planets in Youth (page 136) by Robert Hand (1977)

Yes, that sounds familiar to me. But, unless I live more than one life concurrently during that time period, I don’t think he has anything to do with me. And then there’s this:

Natal Pluto in opposition to each other is interesting. And natal Neptune in conjunction. Hmm. Finally, his natal Moon is conjunct my natal Saturn. Could he have been the past life of my father, JEM?

I feel this accurately describes my theories about astrology and reincarnation.

THIS is the Opening Shot of WWIII

ICBM Hits Dnipro, Ukraine (November 21, 2024)

Although everyone is trying to play this event down, it is very clear that Western allies in NATO are rattled. Why? Because it’s not a step too far for Putin to use nuclear missiles against enemy targets, such as Paris and London. Early warning systems would not allow for pre-emptive strikes back against Moscow.

So, what is prompting this reaction on my part? Pluto finally entering Aquarius on November 19th and staying there until 2044. The next 20 years will be a time of great change, and WWIII may be the reason.

My comment on Ellie’s video was this:

From the book “Cracking the Apocalypse Code”: WWIII may have a turning point for the world on February 5, 2043 when an atomic bomb is dropped on Tokyo. Pluto will be in the final degree of Aquarius on the day. Something to think about.

Now, have I mentioned this before? Of course I have, here, on May 27, 2015.

End of message.

It’s Been a Mystery for 65 Years

The Dyatlov Pass Incident (February 2, 1959)

There is a lot of speculation about what happened to these nine hikers in the Ural Mountain system in Russia on that fateful night/early morning. Even Cash Peters used his time travelling abilities to see what occurred. Something sinister seems to have killed three of the hikers, the rest froze to death.

Their story is recounted by the BBC, here.

As you might expect, I erected an event chart, choosing a 1:00 am Moscow timing. This is what I got:

Do you see that Cosmic Cross linking the Moon/Jupiter conjunction with Mars in opposition, and squared to Venus on the one hand and Pluto on the other? At the same time, the Sun in opposition to Uranus is in a T-square to the Neptune/Ascendant conjunction. That’s a lot of conflict. Only Saturn is trine Pluto. And there is one inconjunct between Mercury and Pluto. Did they stumble into a mind control experiment by the Soviets?

What do you think?

Did You Ever Wonder?

Who Were The Brothers Grimm? (2015)

I wonder the same thing when I decided to look at their astrological energies, together.

The Brothers Grimm (German: die Brüder Grimm or die Gebrüder Grimm), Jacob (1785–1863) and Wilhelm (1786–1859), were German academics who together collected and published folklore. The brothers are among the best-known storytellers of folktales, popularizing stories such as “Cinderella” (“Aschenputtel“), “The Frog Prince” (“Der Froschkönig“), “Hansel and Gretel” (“Hänsel und Gretel“), “Town Musicians of Bremen” (“Die Bremer Stadtmusikanten“), “Little Red Riding Hood” (“Rotkäppchen“), “Rapunzel”, “Rumpelstiltskin” (“Rumpelstilzchen“), “Sleeping Beauty” (“Dornröschen“), and “Snow White” (“Schneewittchen“). Their first collection of folktales, Children’s and Household Tales (Kinder- und Hausmärchen), began publication in 1812.

The Brothers Grimm spent their formative years in the town of Hanau in the Landgraviate of Hesse-Kassel. Their father’s death in 1796 (when Jacob was 11 and Wilhelm was 10) caused great poverty for the family and affected the brothers many years after. Both brothers attended the University of Marburg, where they developed a curiosity about German folklore, which grew into a lifelong dedication to collecting German folktales.

Wilhelm Grimm (1786 – 1859) and Jacob Grimm (1785-1863)

Here are their combined charts:

Since they were born a little over 13 months apart, the outer planets wouldn’t have moved on very far.

Both charts are randomized, so I wouldn’t pay too much attention to Wilhelm’s Houses. In fact, their father’s death when Jacob was 11 and Wilhelm was only 10, would have placed Saturn in the 5th House for each brother. Therefore. Virgo (academics) would have been a better fit for the Ascendant. Nevertheless, Jacob’s Sun in Capricorn is conjunct Wilhelm’s Moon and that allowed them to collaborate on the research and retelling of the Fairy Tales.

Walt Disney would have had a hard time creating his animated films without their prodigious output.

How Intuition Informs My Astrological Choices

We Are All Just Actors on This World Stage

When I wrote about the moment that Thespis became an actor in 534 BCE, my Spidey-sense started to tingle. This happens a lot, especially with which “On this Day” daily calendar entries attract my attention and which do not. But because I don’t know if I had a life during the 6th Century BC, I couldn’t be sure of why this particular event would be important to me.

Do you see what I mean? I have at least two exact conjunctions across the centuries: my Sun is conjunct the event South Node @ 20° Aquarius; and my Uranus is conjunct the event Pluto @ 1° Cancer. But the most important links may involve my Moon within 5° of the event Mars, and my Pluto within 3° of the event Neptune, while my Neptune is within 1° of the event Jupiter. This cannot be a coincidence.

This statue even looks a bit like me, today. (However, I’m not sure if the name matches.: Euripides)

The Day the First Actor Walked the Stage in Athens

Thespis of Icaria becomes the first recorded actor to portray a character on stage, Nov 23, 534 BCE

Well, that’s interesting. And, as an astrologer, I suspect that the chart for the middle of that day will reveal something that proves known information from my own experience.

Note that, changing an old style to a new style calendar, six days have been removed.

Neptune, in my experience, is a symbol of someone being an actor in their life. As this is an event chart, it seems only right that Neptune should be in or around the Descendant. This is indicative of someone breaking the rules. This is further shown by the triple Yod, pointing at Saturn. The inconjuncts are linking Saturn to the Moon, on one side, with the Sun, Mars and Uranus on the other. Hmm.

This new style was called tragedy, and Thespis was the most popular exponent of it. Eventually, in 534 BC competitions to find the best tragedy were instituted at the City Dionysia in Athens, and Thespis won the first documented competition. Capitalising on his success, Thespis also invented theatrical touring; he would tour various cities while carrying his costumes, masks and other props in a horse-drawn wagon.
