His “Bad Headache” Turned into a 20-Day Coma

Jamie Foxx (December 13, 1967)

It’s a mystery that has still not been completely shared with his adoring public. We don’t have an exact of the event, but setting the event clock to noon might give us a sneak peek behind the curtain.

From birth, Foxx has had a Yod pointing at Saturn, formed by inconjuncts to Venus and Jupiter. His Moon is in Taurus in the 12th House (of the Unconscious). The event chart, set for noon, sets this one planet in a possible revelatory position.

Mars is about 2° from a Cancer Ascendant. Was this an accidental overdose of some kind? There is an accidental inconjunct linking the Moon and Venus. I wonder…

Putting the two charts together shows Uranus transiting his natal Moon. Nothing else jumps out at me.

Hmm.

Yesterday, He was a Little Emotional

Cristiano Ronaldo (February 5, 1985)

I usually don’t write about sports figures. After watching yesterday’s UEFA Euro Cup 2024 game between Portugal and Slovenia, I thought I might take a look at what makes Ronaldo tick.

There is some dispute as to exactly what time Ronaldo was born. I’m going to follow the alternative timing as this doesn’t imply a dawn birth. As a result there are three inconjuncts all linked with Pluto.

Venus Inconjunct Pluto

With this aspect you must learn a great deal about the kinds of friends you want and the kinds of experiences you will have through other people. Even while you are still young, you may meet persons who are quite difficult to get along with, but who seem to be impossible to get away from, even when you want to. You may be fascinated by such persons, or circumstances may force you to stay with them. These people do have a definite role to play in your life, but it may not always be a pleasant one. They will teach you something about life or about yourself.

Planets in Youth (page 206) by Robert Hand (1977)

Mars Inconjunct Pluto

You have a strong will and always want to have your own way. But very often it seems as if tremendous forces are working to prevent you from getting what you want. If you have this problem, it is because of the way you go about trying to achieve your ends. If you put too much force into your desire to get something, you may unknowingly alienate people because your aggressive manner shows that you will let nothing stop you from getting what you want. Even if that isn’t the way you really feel about it, you should recognize that your forcefulness creates this impression.

Ibid (page 239)

Pluto Inconjunct Ascendant

Your parents and teachers should be very straightforward with you, because if you feel that people are not being honest with you, you will not be honest with them. You are quite capable of acting behind peoples’ backs if you consider it necessary or if you feel that you never get your own way.

Another problem that can arise if you are not treated properly is that you may withdraw into yourself and become very secretive, as though you have something to hide even when you don’t/ This can make people distrust you.

Ibid (page 357)

After missing a penalty shot, yesterday, he burst into tears. I wanted to say to him, “It’s only a game.”

Fortunately(!) for him, he was able to lead Portugal to their shootout win, in the end.

Sun opposite Moon? Hmm.

The Inclusion of One Actress Makes This Series a Matrix

Star Wars: The Acolyte (2024)

Carrie-Anne Moss was Trinity in the Matrix series of films. No one could kick butt like her. Now she’s starring as Indara:

A Jedi Master proficient in “Force-fu” fighting, who is killed by Mae at the start of the series. Headland wanted the audience to immediately feel that Indara was “the most powerful Jedi in the room”. She was inspired by Moss’s portrayal of Trinity in The Matrix film series when creating the character and intended for audiences to see Indara as “Trinity with a lightsaber”. Headland felt the character’s death set the tone for the series, established that Jedi can be killed, and indicated that audience assumptions about who is good and bad could be wrong. Moss bonded with Stenberg on set over their shared spiritual background.

Wikipedia

Well, wouldn’t you know it: no one knows her correct time of day for her birth, but some clues exist:

Date and place of birth from Wikipedia. Moss’ IMDb bio has the time 4:05pm; no source given .

An article in Esquire of 29 January 2007 states, “She was born early in the morning on an August day in the summer of love in Vancouver, British Columbia”, as Montanee Tantisook pointed out by email in January 2022.

birth announcement:

Sy Scholfield quotes name, date and place from birth notice, no time given, The Vancouver Sun (British Columbia), 22 August 1967: born at Grace Hospital to Bob Waterfield and Barbara (nee Sadgrove), a sister for Brooke. (Her mother must have later married Melvyn Moss).

Astro.com

My baby girl, Rosanna, was born at that same hospital, so in truth, Moss was born in Vancouver, itself.

So, I have followed the one dissenting voice in the astrology world and set Ms. Moss’ birth time to 5:05 am (bearing in mind that it could have actually been 4:05 am, instead).

There are two inconjuncts, but only one can be relied upon because it’s not time-dependent.

Venus Inconjunct Saturn

You may feel that you cannot indulge yourself in any pleasure or even love. When you are older, you may feel that duty and ambition must come before love and human relationships. Unfortunately, if you follow that path, you will become very lonely, and when you realize that you belong to no one and nothing, you will go through a spiritual crisis.

Planets in Youth (page 198) by Robert Hand (1977)

Moss seems to inhabit those roles perfectly, probably because of this one aspect: duty before love.

I’ve seen two episodes so far, and I’ve read somewhere that Indara returns in a flash-back in episode three. I’m looking forward to that. I wonder what Trinity would make of Indara.

Not Surprisingly, She was Celine Dion’s Inspiration

Maria Callas (December 2/3, 1923 – September 16, 1977)

There is a certain irony that comes from watching a gut-wrenching documentary like I Am Celine Dion. The irony is that you discover that her inspiration was Maria Callas. Well, in the grand scheme of things that shouldn’t really be a surprise, but it caught me off-guard. The internal irony is that Celine is now experiencing what Maria did in the final years of her life: the inability to continue singing like she did when she was younger.

Initially, I was going to compare their birth charts, but then abandoned the idea when there are conflicting details of her actual birth date, and her birth time is unknown. (Most astrology sites list it as December 3 @ 6 AM, but Wikipedia states that her birth date as December 2.) And, again, I’m faced with the possibility that Celine might be Maria reborn, but nine years before Maria died. This has happened before, in my experience, but it makes it kind of messy when I’m trying to astrologically ‘prove’ the fact.

Allow, instead, a couple of images to show you the similarities.

Pictures while young:

.

And their autographs:

.

In truth, they are not the same person, in two separate bodies, but they seem to have the same animating spirit, with a difference: one hated being made to be a singer from childhood; the other wanted to be on stage from an early age. Perhaps the difference is down to having a normal upbringing, or not.

Hmm.

On This Day in History, a Disaster Happened in London

The Globe Theatre Burns Down (June 29, 1613)

We know from subsequent history that after this event happened, William Shakespeare retired to Stratford to live his life in quiet solitude until he died suddenly three years later. So, this event is significant to his life’s story.

By now, we are used to looking for the reasons for some events. In this case, I would suggest that the Mars/Midheaven conjunction indicates an accident. The several conjunctions between other planets also seem to suggest that it was a timely event, intending to bring to an end Shakespeare’s prolific work ethic. There are three inconjuncts, two of which point to that Mars/Midheaven conjunction from the planet Saturn, and one connecting the Moon and the Scorpio Ascendant. In other words, the timing has to be exact for all these inconjuncts to happen at the same time, or else there’s only Mars inconjunct Saturn. All is True.

When the Globe event chart is compared to Shakespeare’s birth chart, two indicators appear: Shakespeare’s natal Saturn is conjunct the Globe’s Part of Fortune, and Shakespeare’s natal Jupiter is conjunct the Globe’s Mars. Yes, this was the Universe’s way of saying to Shakespeare to hang up his quilled pen for good.

Hmm.

It was Definitely a “Light Bulb” Moment for Me

Some ideas just hang about the air for quite awhile before they strike you like a lightning bolt from the blue. I had one of those moments yesterday afternoon as I sat on our backyard deck.

You see, we have a series of lights strung around the inside of our gazebo. At the moment, they are unplugged. Normally, they would be plugged into the extension cord that is plugged into a off/on switch which is itself plugged into an outdoor electrical socket. Are you following me, so far?

Electricity doesn’t flow into the lights until they are plugged in and then the switch is turned on. That was my ‘a-ha’ moment. Humans have a series of ‘lights’ known as chakras. Most of the time, they are in the off position. The plug is the base “Root” chakra. When it is turned on, intentionally, Kundalini energy flows up the spine and lights all the other chakras on the way. However, there is a cutoff (breaker) point at the Heart chakra. If the individual is not balanced enough to allow the further channeling of this energy, it will shut down the whole process.

It’s like a failsafe death switch.

Amen.

Somebody Should have Consulted an Astrologer First

CNN Presidential Debate (June 27, 2024)

Train wreck? That’s putting it mildly. Four hours before the event, I did this chart:

Initially, my eye was drawn to Mercury’s position in the event chart: it is conjunct Trump’s Venus/Saturn conjunction, and conjunct Biden’s Jupiter. OK, I said to myself, Trump has to endure some restriction on his usual tactics. Biden will have more opportunity to be expansive in his discussions. Then I looked at the Sun in the event chart: oops, it is conjunct to Trump’s Mercury. “Houston, we have a problem.”

Pluto in the event chart is beginning to come into opposition with both men’s natal positions of Pluto. At the moment Pluto in the event chart is retrograde, so the full effects are not visible. But when it goes direct, it’ll be affecting Biden before it affects Trump, so that doesn’t bode well for the country.
