LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM – APRIL 17, 2015: Crowded sidewalk on Oxford Street with commuters and tourists from all over the world.
Is This Another Warning?
Today is May 20th. Tomorrow is Susan’s birthday. In my early morning dream (before 6 am), Susan and I were walking along a street, not unlike the one shown above, going toward our car at the hotel car park I always see. This time, Susan started walking faster and faster into the distance, until I could not see her anymore. The only reason for noting this is the fact that before the two accidents with our cars, I dreamt of losing them. In each case, they were in that hotel car park. OK, Universe, is this a warning about Susan?
This coming Friday, Susan is scheduled to drive up to spend time with her daughter, to celebrate their joint birthdays. My unconscious may be playing out a ‘what-if’ sequence in answer to my discomfort of this upcoming event. When Susan first awoke this morning, I shared the dream image with her.
Did it make a difference? No. Susan is determined to drive the rental car on her own, there and back again. So, I’ll keep my fingers crossed in the meantime, and hope that nothing bad happens to her.
I couldn’t resist the gif that keeps on giving (shown above). This is a torus. (I can’t believe it’s named that, either, since it implies a connection to Taurus, the Bull.)
I won’t go into the techniques involved in order to ‘escape’ the hologram of our earthly existence. But the three exercises that point you in the right direction are: hypnosis; Transcendental Meditation; and biofeedback. The ‘trick’ is to quiet the left hemisphere of the brain to almost match the right hemisphere.
This is achieved by sound. Hmm. Interesting. (And do you ever wonder why music has such a profound influence on your life? This is why.)
I’ll leave it there for now. But it might be informative to see Ellie Dreams Down Under‘s latest YouTube video. Two Tarot cards came up that suggest that there are ulterior motives with the CIA Gateway Experience. Here’s a hint:
“I have my own interpretation: Whether it was accidentally or intentionally left out I don’t know,” Whedbee explains. But she says that “there are people that work in this place that are on another plane and not here in the physical.”
“So what if that page [25] was released 20 years ago?” Whedbee asks. “Could it have backlashed? ‘Cause it talks about religion and that all religions are equal. And what if people feel really powerfully that not all religions are equal. I feel like the generations nowadays, they’re not so wrapped up in that anymore.”
“There’s this whole thing going on where people are awakening,” Whedbee continues. “People become more conscious, people become more awakened—tearing down the monuments in Richmond. Enough’s enough. This has come about at a time when your generation has questions and they want to know and they’re ready to hear the answers without judgment.”
Christmas pantomime shows are all the rage in the UK. This one got filmed, which definitely sets it apart from other ones. It’s the filmed version that we watched on PBS, last night.
There are a couple of stand-outs in the cast: David Suchet as the Narrator, even does a small turn as Poirot; Henry Shields plays a triple role as Chris the Director, Mr. Darling and Captain Hook, using John Cleese’s Basil Fawlty as his model; and Nancy Zamit playing just about all the ‘other’ female roles with quick change strategies.
Of course, the audience were fully in on the fun, booing the villain, and shouting out things like, “No he’s not!” and “Look behind you!” In the end the Crocodile gets the girl.
It even got to Broadway, that’s how good this show is.
So, if you want a good laugh, catch this one the next time it comes around on your television set.
I like to think that a crowd of school students and their teacher who witnessed an UFO in 1966 would make the perfect people to tell their story. But they were shut down by the military (implied, Australian) and scorned and ridiculed by the press and scientists. That suggests to me that there is something more to this story, than meets the eye.
Here’s the chart, set for 10 am of the day in question:
Where do I start? Uranus and Pluto being almost exactly conjunct makes me think this was a ‘full disclosure’ event. Those two planets are in opposition to another almost perfect conjunction between Mercury and Saturn. And there are enough inconjuncts to reveal ‘purpose’ behind the event: Mars and Neptune; Sun and Uranus/Pluto; the Moon and Mercury/Saturn; and, finally, the Moon and the Ascendant. The Moon is the apex of a Yod, Finger of God. Only Venus and Jupiter escape the lens of inconjunct aspects.
On Wednesday, 6 April 1966, students and a teacher from Westall High School, now Westall Secondary College, reported seeing a flying object. It was described as round with a domed top, and white, grey, or silver in colour. According to the students, the object descended behind a row of trees and into the Grange, an open area south of the school. Some accounts describe the object as being pursued by five unidentified aircraft. Shaun Matthews was on vacation at the Grange and reported seeing an object with a slight purple hue and about twice the size of a family car.
Some witnesses reported seeing the object take off after landing, and some reported seeing it hover rather than land. When students walked to the Grange after the sighting, some reported a landing site, but the details varied between reports. Students described a circle of grass variously as burnt, “boiled”, or pressed down. One student interviewed by a local newspaper described a vague circular area flattened by the wind. Students also reported varying numbers of circles from one to three. On 9 April 1966, Air Force personnel and UFO enthusiasts visited the field but reported nothing of interest. The landowner burned the field to discourage people from entering the property.

With physical evidence, what is there to doubt? Even the idea of a weather balloon seems improbable.
This season has been a long time coming. They say patience is a virtue, but the fear of being single your whole life calls for desperate measures during desperate times.
Taking the spotlight this season will be Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) and her longtime crush and good friend Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton). Things didn’t end well for the two last season after Penelope heard Colin tell his friends that he would never court her. To top it off, Penelope had a falling out with her best friend Eloise Bridgerton (Claudia Jessie), after the former realized Penelope was the town gossip, Lady Whistledown.
Every time Penelope looks in the mirror, she gets more and more radiant. Since this is only the first half of season 3, so far, the fairy tale elements have only partially been shown. The belief in one’s own worth cannot be underestimated, especially as it is reflected in someone else’s eyes. Penelope and Colin have been friends since childhood, but time has changed them, and their attraction has become stronger. In the 4th episode, the carriage ride home at the end gets very heated, and, in my opinion, very real.
I won’t say any more for the moment, but the preview for part 2 does hint at a Cinderella moment for Penelope. Obviously, her secret life as the Mayfair gossip, Lady Whistledown, is about to come out.
(And, to show you how my consciousness works, I’ve heard the Lady’s name as Thistledown, which sounds far more evocative that was originally intended, I’m sure.)
Thistledown are gossamer ‘will of the wisps’ that float everywhere on the wind: a bit like gossip…
It must have been the Carl Jung video where he was discussing whether the German people thought of Hitler as their “Father” that caught my eye. Jung stated that it was more complicated than that: he said that actually Hitler was seen by them as their Saviour. Oh-ho, thinks I, that’s food for thought.
Without naming names, someone in the recent court systems in the US has compared himself to Jesus. He sees the the legal processes as a kind of crucifixion (cruci-fiction) that is making him a martyr. In my opinion, he’s not even close. Especially, as Jesus spoke barely a word during his trial before Pontius Pilate. He certainly didn’t meet with the press before, at recess, and after the court day, to get his point of view across. No, this is a pseudo-saviour at best. Perhaps he’s really suffering from a Hero syndrome.
It’s the intention that defines what the world is dealing with here. Hence, the trading cards…
For the most part the defense of Donald Trump has been a haphazard affair. In fact, there were points in the cross-examination of Michael Cohen when (especially at the start) Blanche made it about himself.
This chart is totally randomized. And yet there are two inconjuncts, and one is not dependent on a correct birth time. (I think it says a lot that Blanche has jettisoned all other clients to represent Trump.)
Sun Inconjunct Jupiter (definitely)
This aspect has possibilities for positive and helpful energy. You may be a very optimistic person who helps people in need at the critical moment. If so, others will help you when you need it. If you can control yourself and keep from going overboard, you will find that you can be quite lucky. But don’t assume that lock will always carry you through. Work as hard as you can to get what you want and act fairly and honestly with others; then the luck will be there.

Moon Inconjunct Uranus (unlikely)
With this aspect you must learn to control sudden outbursts of emotion that occur at difficult times when you least expect it. Also your present home life may not be a stable situation in which you can grow up emotionally secure and confident. A particular incident when you were very young may have given you the feeling that you can’t count of anything or anyone for support. Later in life, you may try very hard to get away from anything that reminds you of your earlier childhood, even if your childhood has not been difficult. You just feel that you have to get away and go somewhere else.
Planets in Youth (page 130) by Robert Hand (1977)
I cannot confirm or deny that either of these aspects are in operation, but the impression given in Donald Trump’s election interference case in Manhattan is that both may be underneath the surface of Blanche’s demeanor.
The Big “Lie” (October 24, 2016)
I’ve always thought that a cross-examination is well named. To zero in on one event in the whole parade of evidence that Michael Cohen provided seems a bit much, But I guess you’d call it grasping at straws.
That Neptune conjunct the South Node is interesting, while Mars being conjunct Pluto speaks to the urgency of the motives to ‘fix’ this thing the Trump campaign was facing. Note that both Mars and Neptune are part of inconjuncts involving Jupiter and the Ascendant respectively. That’s the crime.
The fact that Michael Cohen’s recollection is somewhat sketchy about the 14-year-old’s nuisance calls is forgivable. But Todd Blanche is trying to undermine Cohen’s whole testimony with one big “lie”.
The three charts together shows something unexpected: that “lie” has an Ascendant that is flanked by Blanche’s South Node and Trump’s North Node. These two were connected in a past life!
The other ‘dramatic’ link involves the event’s Moon, Blanche’s Midheaven and Trump’s Mars. Hmm.
I’m approaching this relationship from a different perspective, having already shown previously that they are ill-suited to each other. She has been accused of being a gold-digger, he of just wanting eye candy on his arm. Their age difference is significant, too. And they had a prenuptial agreement which has been amended since Trump’s legal issues have become front-and-centre, on the world’s stage.
This timing is randomized for the day of their wedding. And yet, there is a Yod pointing at Pluto, formed by inconjuncts to Saturn and the Ascendant. That tells the tale, right there.
Now let’s put the three charts together.
The connections look more meaningful: in my eyes, Melania benefits the most from the marriage, but Donald got something out of it, too. We’ll just have to wait and see if it survives his legal problems.
Will Melania say ‘bye, bye, bye’? And, if not, I ask, “Why? Why? Why?”
Imagination is a wonderful thing. But sometimes it can lead to paranoia about your money and then life turns miserable. Did you ever think about where the word ‘miserable’ comes from? Penny-pinching in the 18th century wasn’t much fun. Such was the life of John Elwes, MP for Berkshire, UK.
After his parliamentary career ended, Elwes devoted his full energies to being a miser as he moved about among his many properties. At his neglected estates he continued to forbid repairs, joined his tenants in postharvest gleaning, and sat with his servants in the kitchen to save the cost of a fire elsewhere. Even on the coldest day of winter he was known to sit fireless at his meals, saying that eating was “exercise enough” to keep him warm. If a stableboy put out hay for a visitor’s horse, Elwes would sneak out and remove it. In his last years, he had no fixed abode and frequently shifted his residence between his unrented London properties in the neighbourhood of Marylebone, seeking out the ones that were temporarily unoccupied. A couple of beds, a couple of chairs, a table, and an “old woman” (housekeeper) were said to be all his furnishings. This same housekeeper was known to frequently catch colds because there were never any fires and often no glass in the windows.
This practice nearly cost Elwes his life when he fell desperately ill in one of these houses and no one could find him. Only by chance was he rescued. His nephew, Colonel Timms, who wanted to see him, inquired in vain at Elwes’s bankers and at other places. A pot boy recollected having seen an “old beggar” go into a stable at one of Elwes’s uninhabited houses in Great Marlborough Street and lock the door behind him. Timms knocked at the door, but when no one answered, sent for a blacksmith and had the lock forced. According to Edward Walford in Volume 4 of his Old and New London (1878):
“In the lower part (of the house) all was shut and silent, but on ascending the stairs they heard the moans of a person seemingly in distress. They went to the chamber, and there on an old pallet bed they found Mr. Elwes, apparently in the agonies of death. For some time he seemed quite insensible.”
He remained in this condition until some “cordials” could be administered by a neighbouring apothecary. After he had sufficiently recovered, Elwes stated that he believed he had been ill for “two or three days” and that there was an “old woman” in the house, but that for some reason or other, she had “not been near him”; that she had “been ill herself”, but that he supposed she must have “recovered” and “gone away”. Upon searching the premises, however, Timms and the apothecary found the woman stretched lifeless on the floor, having apparently been dead for two days.
Towards the end of his life, Elwes grew feverish and restless, hoarding small quantities of money in different places, continually visiting all the places of deposit to see that they were safe. He began suffering from delusion, fearing that he would die in poverty. In the night, he was heard struggling with imaginary robbers, crying: “I will keep my money! I will! Don’t rob me! Oh, don’t!” When asked who was there, Elwes would reply: “Sir, I beg your pardon, my name is Elwes, I have been unfortunate enough to be robbed in this house, which I believe is mine, of all the money I have in the world of five guineas and a half, and half a crown.” The family doctor was sent for, and, looking at the dying miser, was heard to remark: “That man, with his original strength of constitution, and lifelong habits of temperance, might have lived twenty years longer, but for his continual anxiety about money.” Even his barrister, who drew up his £800,000 will, was forced to undertake his writings in the firelight by the dying man’s bedside in order to save the cost of a candle.
Elwes was known to sleep in the same worn garments he wore during the day. He was discovered one morning between the sheets with his tattered shoes on his feet, an old torn hat on his head, and a stick in his hand. It was in this condition he died on 26 November 1789. His burial took place in Stoke-by-Clare. After having lived on only £50 a year, Elwes left £500,000 (approximately £81,000,000 as of 2021) to his two illegitimate, George and John (whom he loved but would not educate, believing that “putting things into people’s heads is the sure way to take money out of their pockets”), and the rest to his nephew.
If that sounds like the plot of Scrooge’s visitation by three ghosts (as warned by Marley), it may be that Charles Dickens had John Elwes in mind when he wrote “A Christmas Carol”.
John Elwes Birth Chart
The timing is randomized. Other astrology sites have the birth date as stated, but since this is before 1753, it must be Old Style, which means that 11 days are added to equivalate the date to New Style.
There are two loaded houses in his chart: the 11th House (of Associations) and 3rd (of Short Journeys). Obviously a different timing would change them into different houses, but I think I’ll leave well enough alone. The Moon in his Gemini 12th House (of the Unconscious) could be significant to his delusions. And the Saturn/Pluto conjunction in Virgo may be where the penny-pinching comes from. Who knows?
My curiosity was piqued by the idea that Elwes may have telegraphed his reality to Dickens, somehow.
Was Charles Dickens the reincarnation of John Elwes? It looks like it. What do you think?
I was inspired to write this post, following yesterday’s testimony by Michael Cohen in Donald Trump’s election interference case. Some have likened it to a divorce proceeding. And with the animosity on display, I would tend to agree with that characterization. (Literally, they haven’t seen each other in six or seven years and Michael’s grievance is that he was hung out to dry by the man he protected, when Donald could have saved him as President of the United States.) The chart is for the exact moment Michael was asked if the invoice he was shown was a false business record: he answered, “Yes.”
Note that there are no inconjuncts. That means that what you see is what you get. There are no hidden agendas. Pluto in opposition to the Ascendant lets us see that this is the big revelation. So how did this come about? If you look at Trump and Cohen together, astrologically, their relationship is obvious.
Five aspects stand out: Cohen’s Jupiter is flanked by Trump’s Venus/Saturn conjunction; Cohen’s Venus is conjunct Trump’s Pluto; and three inconjuncts define their dynamic together, Trump’s Uranus is connected to Cohen’s Neptune, Trump’s Mars is connected to Cohen’s Saturn, and Trump’s Mercury is connected to Cohen’s Ascendant. This relationship is definitely a Master/Servant one. But for Cohen to serve his master properly, he had to love him. And one of the last messages Cohen got (via Trump’s support system) was that he was loved, too. Yeah, right…
The three charts together give us an overview of the moment that Michael sank Donald: the event Ascendant is conjunct Michael’s Jupiter and Donald’s Venus and Saturn. That says it all, does it not?
