Of Ancient and Future Purges

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

With purges of non-believers awaiting threatened implementation in the US, and the involvement of the Catholic Church a given (exs: Opus Dei; anti-abortion laws no matter who suffers or dies: the persecution of women and families), this post is a limited consideration of certain historical horoscopes for a daring reader such as yourself.

Re: 1478-1834-1929-2001-2019-2025

For hundreds of years, the Spanish Inquisition, requested by Catholic monarchs King Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I, persecuted and tortured people in order to strengthen their hold on power. Begun under the auspices of an obsessive 3 North Solar Eclipse, the brutal activities of 1478 were intended to purge those who preferred their own religions rather than bowing down to the Pope in Rome once Pope Sixtus IV issued a papal bull giving authority to inquisitors who would commit the atrocities. (Actually, the first Spanish Inquisition tribunal became active in Seville in 1480, so follow the above link to read more on the topic, if you wish.)

Meanwhile, this post displays a dual image of the November 1, 1478 Horoscope (lower left) along with the official ending Horoscope of the Spanish Inquisition July 15, 1834 (upper right) for your consideration; the following charts are set for 12:00 pm Rome, Italy:

Below, a second image, a bi-wheel, displays the July 29, 1478 chart of the 3 North Solar Eclipse (@14Leo31; inner) surrounded by the Vatican City State Horoscope of June 7, 1929 (Campion #384; outer). As we see, there are planetary contacts between the events - what I tend to label "cosmic time links":

Significantly, the Vatican City State of 1929 was established under the influence of a May 9th 3 North Eclipse - @18Tau07. Eclipses in Taurus tend to emphasize bullheadedness and inflexibility along with the more negative traits of greed and intolerance (R. Lineman).

Planetary Contacts: 1929 to 1478

First up: 1929 Mars conjunct the 3 North Eclipse of 1478 (violent tendencies; headstrong impulses; rushing into activities without considering ultimate consequences or the karmic implications). We could even count 1929 Jupiter opposing 1478 Neptune for it identifies the brutal purging campaign of 1478 and beyond as a fantastic scheme of fanaticism and distortion of confidential information with a bizarre religious component. Sounds like maga politics circa now, doesn't it?

3 North: 1478-1929-2001 (and July 2019 @11Cancer)

Further information is found within 3 North's themes: obsessive energy; news that transforms a situation; young people may be involved; large plans are wanted but don't get carried away (paraphrasing B. Brady). Perhaps you recognize 3 North as 9/11/01's Eclipse Series when the Bush-Cheney regime got carried away and deceitfully led our country to invasion, war, and torture (ex: the notorious Abu Ghraib prison) - and theirs were misdirected energies that missed the mark! (a tendency of the US 1776 Mars-Neptune square: fog of war).

So with aggressive Mars in ego-prone Leo, the primary link between the events of 1478 and 2001 is torture which met with little more success in 2001 than in 1478. Yet a degradation of society, a lifting up of lies and deception, and an increase of fear and paranoia in society here and abroad were certainly outcomes to my way of thinking. In the US going into 2025, similar conditions will follow with the degradation of American society - and of the US Presidency and Government - their obvious goals - plus, the promised purging of non-believers via their authoritarian Project 2025 agenda. As you know, cult membership is demanded.

Another planetary contact is that Vatican City State's 1929 Jupiter @28Tau49 is basically a Jupiter Return to 1478 Jupiter, a time when rewards are expected as a new 12-year cycle begins - here Jupiter is in Taurus (the bull - like Ferdinand!), a sign of financial interests, greed, and grubbing for gains. The love of money is the root of all evil - and the 1478 Inquisition's Jupiter Return occurred on June 4, 1929 with two aspects to 1929 Jupiter: a Jupiter-Saturn inconjunct (rigid, legalistic, fearful of competition - A. Epstein), and a Moon-Jupiter trine (attaining higher knowledge; contentment; a ray of hope - A.E.)

In closing, we should also note the Vatican City State's Neptune @28Leo48 nearing 1478 Mercury Rx @00Vir32. This transit signifies potentials for deception, an inability to grasp reality, living in fantasy worlds, confusion, and strange or mysterious conditions.

Well, there's a look at ancient and future purges as We the People face threats of persecution, loss, and hardship, as the wealthy Mr. Musk describes it. So if you made it to the end of this dreary post, my Thanks! Yet our circumstances wouldn't seem nearly as dreary if a mobbed-up criminal weren't about to re-enter and re-soil the White House. You may not agree with this, but there it is. jc

Astro-Notes: An Old Nazi's Personality Blend

by Jude Cowell

Now this may not be news to you, dear reader, but Klaus Barbie, head of Germany's Gestapo (secret police) from 1942 to 1944, died of cancer on September 25, 1991 in Lyon, France, the place where he'd earned his title during WWII as The Butcher of Lyon. After the war, the US made him an intelligence officer and used Barbie for gathering whatever it was he gathered. For after all, what better opportunity could a world class murderer expect after a war ends than a new life perpetrating whatever he perpetrates best?

Now Nikolaus Barbie's reputation for torture and brutality preceded him and were enough of a work reference for US intelligence big wigs to give "Klaus" a free pass and a new life in Bolivia so that Washington could learn his methods. Was FBI Director J. Edgar in on the scheme, one imagines, or did other agencies benefit?

Well, somehow Herr Barbie's secret-keeping skills and work ethic of torture and barbarism may not have been the only reasons he was spirited away from European areas of devastation, willfully destroyed by villains such as Klaus Barbie. Apparently, the US government prized his anti-communists efforts enough to aid his escape which avoided an arrest warrant. Here he is now:

Now agent Barbie was born October 25, 1913 7:00 am MET in Godesburg, Germany (RR: AA), so if you wish, grab a peek at the natal horoscope and planets of Klaus Barbie where you'll see his Water-Earth Sun Scorpio-Moon Virgo personality blend which suggests a strong mind, a sense of duty, and a generous helping of arrogance that will not be bullied. Notable leanings include narrow-mindedness and an assumption that if he can think them up, he's entitled to rewrite the rules to suit himself.

(For more details, see Sun-Moon Signs, Charles and Suzi Harvey. #ad.)

Then speaking of spycraft, back in the day I saw guitarist-singer Johnny Rivers play a college concert. Here he is with his 1966 hit, Secret Agent Man which was also a TV show theme starring British actor Patrick McGoohan (Sun Pisces-Moon AQ or Pisces; 1928-2009).

Trump Eyes Bush-Era Torture Architect For CIA Head - TYT video report

Trump's White House Preparations in Progress, Cabinet and Staff Members Ready to Serve If Tapped

As feared, a whole crop of old, crooked politicians have started hanging onto Mr. Trump's suspenders hoping to be shoehorned into the back door of the White House once again (that's where the keep the cash cow). Voting for Trump was the same as voting for Cheney, Rove, Rumsfeld, Spit Comb, Rice, Kristol, Ailes, Gingrich, and all the little warmongering Vulcans who not only brought the invasion and costly occupation of Iraq to the world and to the US Treasury, but they also broke America's longstanding political taboo against preemptive war, and palled around closer than ever before with Underworld criminal elements (creepy Pluto, of course, along with Neptune and with Mars to pull the trigger).

And on a different level of reality, these sidewinders are playing a Global Game only they know the rules of...aka, 'a power game with important consequences' (Tyl):

Obama adminstration letting us down on torture

The whole truth is needed from the Obama adminstration concerning prisoner torture. Falling back on Bush-Cheney tactics won't be good enough.

Makes me wonder what were the contents of the mash note Bush left in the Oval Office's desk drawer for the new president to, one assumes, profit by.

Perhaps it contained a "Please don't march me to the Hague" plea?

Obama same as Bush the torturer?

Obama's Orders Leave Framework of Torture, Indefinite Detention Intact

By Tom Eley

While the media is portraying these orders as a repudiation of the detention and interrogation policies of the Bush administration, they actually change little.

They essentially represent a public relations effort to refurbish the image of the United States abroad after years of torture and extra-legal detentions and shield high-ranking American officials from potential criminal prosecution. #

Figures. Old boss same as the new boss? If President Obama doesn't do more than refurbish America by PR strategies, it will show very soon.

The war politics of John McCain

Someday, the news media may get around to re-examining the assumption that killing foreigners in their own country is the best patriotic credential imaginable. A front-page New York Times story the other day referred to Sen. John McCain as "the most popular national political figure in the country."

McCain built his career in politics while news accounts routinely described him as a "war hero," with frequent references to the captivity and torture that he withstood for years after a North Vietnamese missile brought him down from a plane he was piloting over Hanoi. Media outlets rarely put a fine point on the fact that McCain had been dropping bombs on civilians.
