Since I Hitched My Wagon to His Star, His is Mine, Too

Posted on June 5, 2024 by cdsmiller17

Emperor Vespasian (July 1, 69 AD – June 23, 79 AD)

One of the most confusing things that I’ve encountered during my search for a past life in 1st Century Rome is the difficulty in nailing anyone down to my exact planetary coordinates in my birth chart. Vespasian comes closest, and yet, I don’t resonate with his persona, or his energy. Tiberius Julius Alexander fits me better. However, I am coming to the conclusion that my past life then may be coloured by some aspect of conformity with the people and events of that time period. In fact, I surmised that I was born in 10 AD, based on the position of Saturn in my birth chart.

Because nothing is known for certain about Tiberius Julius Alexander’s birth and death, I have only Vespasian’s charts to compare with my birth chart.

What I wasn’t expecting was the flipflop of Vespasian’s ‘fatal’ North Node and my natal South Node being within 1°. His becoming Emperor is highlighted by Saturn being there, as well as his natal Saturn also. It implies he might have been like a father to me.(Only after much hesitation, I now see that, in fact, I might have been his son, Domitian.) My natal Pluto is within 2° of his natal Moon. Hmm. His ‘fatal’ Moon is conjunct my Part of Fortune. My natal Neptune is conjunct his natal Pluto. My natal Uranus is conjunct to his ‘fatal’ Sun and Emperor Sun. My natal Sun is within 5° of his ‘fatal’ Pluto. My Ascendant is conjunct his ‘fatal’ Part of Fortune and his natal Mercury. What is going on, here?

I hate to suggest that I may actually have been Vespasian, instead of TJA. But, then, I’m reminded of the fact that my natal Mars is conjunct my South Node. I was a soldier in the service of the Roman Empire.

I was never an Emperor.

In a Weird Twist of Fate, This Story Played Out in WWI

Posted on June 4, 2024 by cdsmiller17

The Killing of a Wounded Soldier

During my past life regression in early 1980, I experienced what it was like to have an enemy soldier beg me to end his life on the battlefield, rather than to stay wounded there. It took me back, in my memory to my death in Roman times, when my slave couldn’t save me from an angry mob.

Here’s a quote from the book about Tiberius Julius Alexander:

Always the first, my brother climbed and … and then” the soldier stopped as his throat tightened, and after a pause continued, “those monsters poured boiling oil down on the legionnaires climbing the ladders.” He stopped again and gulped. “My brother fell and lay on the ground screaming in agony. I went up to him and said, ‘Claudio, this is your brother. Do you hear me?'

"‘Yes, yes,’ he mumbled through burnt lips. ‘I can't stand it. Kill me, kill me. I can't stand the pain. I plead, kill me.'

"And I said," the soldier continued, "‘Jupiter forgive me,’ and I slit my brother’s throat.”

Daniel M. Friedenberg. Tiberius Julius Alexander: A Historical Novel (Kindle Locations 1770-1773). Kindle Edition.

So, I have to ask myself: Was I remembering a ‘real’ incident, or just recounting a story that I’d heard?

Hmm.

In the Trump Jury, One Juror Appeared to Be for Him

Posted on June 4, 2024 by cdsmiller17

But Even That Person Voted to Convict Him on All 34 Counts

The reason I’m even going here, five days after the jury decision, is to demonstrate that the prosecution’s case against Donald J. Trump was beyond a reasonable doubt. There are conflicting stories about who Juror #2 was, but others have noted that at least this one person followed X and Truth Social.

Several ‘otherworldly’ channels discussed that there might be a hung jury due to one of them being a fan of 45. Dave Johnson, in particular, ‘saw’ this individual changing their mind during the witness testimonies, long before the jury deliberations started. Ellie Dreams Down Under did a tarot reading which said much the same thing. (And I have always said that some outcomes are known at a higher level of being.) Trump, himself, said that the jury was 95% Democrat. He had his fingers crossed.

In the end, a young man prophesied that God told him not to worry if Trump got convicted, that He was always in control. Here’s the video as proof:

Troy Black was obviously hoping for a better result.

“Be still and know that I am God.”

The Repeat of CBS’ Christmas Special was on Last Night

Dick Van Dyke: 98 Years of Magic (2023)

We missed it the first time it was aired, last December. As a song and dance extravaganza, it was wonderful. For being a young 98-year-old, DVD was fully involved in the presentation of the show. At the end, he seemed to be overcome with emotion, but he didn’t cry on cue; he’s too much of a professional to do that. I also suspected at the beginning that “Mary Poppins” would dominate the show.

And who knew that Jason Alexander could sing and dance?

At any rate, there were lots of singing and lots of dancing, and quite a few looks back on DVD’s career. In the end, it was two hours of great entertainment, and love for the man. Bless you ,Dick Van Dyke, for filling our lives and our children’s lives with so much fun and laughter.

Carrying the Burden of Humanity on Her Shoulders

Posted on June 2, 2024 by cdsmiller17

Atlas (2024)

This film is not a favourite of critics, but is one of the most watched in Netflix history, at least in its first week of streaming. It has been described as ‘clunky’ ‘far-fetched’ and late 20th century in reviews given, but it doesn’t matter: the world has a thirst for most things AI, and how humanity can overcome ‘evil’ to triumph for the future.

Atlas Shepherd (Lopez), a brilliant but misanthropic data analyst with a deep distrust of artificial intelligence, joins a mission to capture a renegade robot with whom she shares a mysterious past. But when plans go awry, her only hope of saving the future of humanity from AI is to trust it.

IMDb

  • Atlas Shepherd: I like both.
  • Smith: Sorry?
  • Atlas Shepherd: When we first met, you asked me if I like pie or cake. I don’t care, I like both. And it’s not that I hate AI, Smith. The truth is… I don’t actually like anybody. People always disappoint. But not you. I like you.

This is the ultimate lone wolf film. No one knows or understands the enemy that she helped create, albeit accidently. Being in sync with Smith helps Atlas overcome the advantages that Harlan has over almost everyone who exists. This is an Herculean task.

“We’re Caught in a Trap, We Can’t Walk Out…”

Posted on June 2, 2024 by cdsmiller17

The Original Trinity: Anu, Enki and Enlil

As I have said many, many times, I am a Gnostic Christian. To some, that may seem a contradiction in terms, but I can assure you that it makes sense when trying to find the middle way of spiritual knowledge.

Eight years ago, I referenced a book that turned my worldview upside down. Suddenly, the good guys looked bad, and the bad guys looked good. What was going on? The fact that the story may have been about the creation myth before the Bible changed it up, just adds to the mystery. Have we been lied to?

Because Enki is equated with the Serpent in the Garden of Eden, he has been painted as the villain in our human story. Enlil is equated with Yahweh, the One God of the Hebrews. Do you see why Gnostics say that the ruler of this world is evil, the Demiurge? Now, no one really knows who is who.

In the Greek versions of the ancient gods, Enki is Poseidon, Enlil is Zeus.

Oh, dear, what’s a body to think?

Last Sunday, We Went to a Concert

Posted on June 1, 2024 by cdsmiller17

Dan Hill and Andy Kim (accompanied by Bill Bell)

As Canadians, we know their songs. Even Americans, of a certain age, do, too. Here’s two of them:

.

They were popular in the 1970’s but they didn’t fade away, as you’d expect. In fact, especially in Andy Kim’s case, his voice is stronger than ever. Dan’s has been ravaged by the years and medical problems.

But, and this is not a criticism, just an observation, Dan’s music is melodic and full of complex musical chords, Andy’s is simpler and more straightforward. In fact, one song had only two chord changes.

IMHO, music is alive and well in Canada!

Isn’t It Funny How Bible Scripture Can Be Relevant?

Posted on June 1, 2024 by cdsmiller17

“At the Last Trump…” (1 Corinthians 15:52)

The full passage reads, as follows:

In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

King James Version

Think about those words. It’s what every good Christian wants, but no one suggested that we had to go through a period of time where a man named Trump took over the world’s communication systems,

“And we shall be changed.”

Amen.

I Neglected To Do This Man’s Chart, Way Back When

Posted on May 31, 2024 by cdsmiller17

Bob Lazar (January 26, 1959)

Funny, isn’t it? I have tried to be scrupulous about making sure that all the ‘i’s are dotted and the ‘t’s crossed, but sometimes I just gap it, which I only realize much, much later when a YouTube video reminds me of something about the person.

When I researched Bob’s birth chart, I was met with an incongruity: the Sun was listed in Scorpio, while the Moon was posted as Aquarius. Huh!? Evidently, there must be a lot of gullible people out there, who take astrological data at face value without enquiring further. Here’s what Microsoft’s Copilot wrote:

  • Sun in Scorpio (23° 33’): Scorpio individuals are known for their intensity, determination, and curiosity. They delve deep into mysteries and seek hidden truths.
  • Moon in Aquarius (8° 13’): Aquarius Moons are innovative, independent, and humanitarian. They value freedom and often have unique perspectives.
  • Mercury in Scorpio (14° 30’): Mercury in Scorpio indicates a probing mind, keen intuition, and a desire to uncover secrets.
  • Venus in Libra (20° 20’): Venus in Libra suggests a love for harmony, beauty, and social connections.
  • Mars in Aries (2° 0’): Mars in Aries is assertive, energetic, and action-oriented.
  • Jupiter in Gemini (retrograde, 2° 3’): Retrograde Jupiter in Gemini may indicate a reflective approach to expansion and learning.
  • Saturn in Capricorn (0° 20’): Saturn in Capricorn emphasizes discipline, responsibility, and ambition.
  • Uranus in Sagittarius (29° 4’): Uranus in Sagittarius seeks freedom through exploration and unconventional ideas.
  • Neptune in Capricorn (8° 18’): Neptune in Capricorn blends practicality with spiritual awareness.
  • Pluto in Scorpio (12° 57’): Pluto in Scorpio signifies transformation, power, and regeneration.
  • North Node in Pisces (retrograde, 10° 14’): Retrograde North Node in Pisces suggests a karmic focus on spiritual growth and empathy.
  • Chiron in Cancer (retrograde, 6° 32’): Retrograde Chiron in Cancer relates to healing emotional wounds and nurturing others.

None of that seems right, so I wonder if the AI Chat bot read the wrong chart analysis (perhaps for a different person). At any rate, the Moon/Pluto conjunction in the 5th House speaks to his being a child progeny. The Moon is inconjunct to the Midheaven, and the Sun is inconjunct to Pluto.

Sun Inconjunct Pluto (absolutely)

There will be many changes in your life, and you will be affected by deep psychological forces that may be difficult to understand at times, as well as confusing to the people around you. You approach people with great intensity, and your emotional involvements are seldom casual. Either you like people very much or you dislike them intensely. Possibly your attitudes on other matters will be extreme also. One of the most important lessons that you will have to learn is to be more moderate.

Planets in Youth (page 94) by Robert Hand (1977)

Moon Inconjunct Midheaven (perhaps)

Work very hard to develop an objective awareness of what you are doing and where you are going. You will need this understanding to guide your emotions, which might otherwise lead you astray and make it difficult for you to focus on your goals. Even though you won’t have to choose a career or a purpose in life for many years, you can learn how to have good perception, which will make it easier to choose later on.

The Timing Speaks for Itself

Posted on May 31, 2024 by cdsmiller17

Jury: “We Have Reached a Verdict”

I won’t belabour this point. The event chart, which I have set for 5:00 pm yesterday, says it all.

A Yod points at the Ascendant @ 1° Scorpio 29′. It is formed by an inconjunct to Jupiter @ 1° Gemini 09′, and an inconjunct to Neptune @ 29° Pisces 39′. Pluto is square to the Ascendant and in opposition to the Midheaven. (And Pluto is also in opposition to the chart’s Part of Fortune.) Hmm

The Truth Will Out!
