Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: Infrastructure (HBO)

As Above, So Below with Pluto

Yes, the results of destructive transformer Pluto now plodding through Saturn-ruled Capricorn, planet and sign of structure and form, can be clearly identified in the condition of America's crumbling infrastructure. Without improvements, tragedy is on the menu with wealth-hoarder Pluto, planet of Plutocracy, plutocrats, and the power elite, denying the American people the funds needed to upgrade our dams, highways, and bridges.

After all, total surveillance of the innocent, waging war across the globe, and rebuilding foreign countries are extremely expensive projects, you know, and apparently they suck all the pennies out of Washington's pretend budget.

Hopefully this video will not disappear before you find it nestled here on SO'W but if it is removed, please go to YouTube or HBO and watch it if you missed the segment...it's well worth the effort!

Feb 28, 2015 12 am: DHS funding runs dry--during its Jupiter Return?

Such Political Theater!

The US Congress continues to rule by crisis so funds for the Department of Homeland Security will run dry by 12:01 am est February 28, 2015 unless as the clock ticks the formerly exalted body passes a 3-week band-aid or a clean bill for full funding today or this evening. Yes, Washington DC provides the country with a slapdash end of February 2015 but let's consider the month of March.

As many astrologers have written, March 2015 will be replete with cosmic and earthly events of note as Washington politicians continue to live down to what they're styled into a sorry model of government---sort of a non-governing government brought to us purposefully by sold-out politicians following basically the same global government script while political factions jockey for ultimate control of the Big Picture.

As for 'HoSec', as I've fondly called it, the conglomerate of agencies was hatched on November 25, 2002 at 1:44 pm est Washington DC under a fiery Sun Sag-Moon Leo influence. At that time, expansive Jupiter (the General; the Banker; the Guru) was in the 6th house of Military and Police Service but conjunct the 5th cusp (risk-taking, speculation, gambling) and ruled the agency itself via the Ascendant (27Pis29 with the March 20, 2015 Solar Eclipse @29Pis27 falling upon it this Spring Equinox.) You'll find the Pisces Solar Eclipse horoscope linked, below.

Now transit Jupiter's Rx period has (Oct 2014) and will (June 2015) return to natal degree @17Leo59. To me the fact that the DHS is in the midst of its Jupiter Return (or, Reward Cycle--Tyl) denotes that although funding delays (Rx) are to be expected, current theatrics on Capitol Hill over the DHS budget running dry are merely political antics meant to mar President Obama's White House tenure further and--if hotheads have their way--stop or stall the president's immigration plans.

Does anyone need Astrology to tell them it's all a scripted power play?! Sometimes it seems that obstructionist Republicans are little boys turning blue from holding their breaths in an attempt to get a detached dad's attention!

Note that the Sabian Symbol for Mercury's '10Sag' = "A Golden-Haired Goddess of Opportunity." There's much to be said for that particular word picture but since I've typed it many times before, let's not bore each other. You note the nearness to Mercury of saboteur-spy-assassin Pluto of The Underworld for the pair had recently conjoined in Sagittarius. Their conjunction and nearness in this chart spotlights America's natal Mercury-Pluto opposition with its 'secrets, surveillance, propaganda, and mind control' connotations.

Also note that DHS natal Venus @00Sco27 (evaluations, relationships, money) was precisely 'eclipsed' by the October 23, 2014 Solar Eclipse @00Sco24!

If you wish, you may read my notes from 2005 concerning the natal horoscope of Homeland Security. (Warning: it's full of fussy and this Cappy wouldn't want the nsa web crawler to miss it!)

March into April 2015 Moons:

The next March 2015 lunation is the March 5 Full Moon in Virgo, the date Purim begins. The Full Moon of March 3 is the Syzygy Moon of Spring Equinox 2015 (aka, Aries Ingress) which brings a critical 29th-degreed Solar Eclipse. As you know, Aries Ingress charts flavor the rest of the year in which they occur until the next March--and this one has a weighty Solar Eclipse attached @29Pisces which doth 'lean forward' anxiously to reach the Mars-ruled Aries Point.

Also of importance is the first lunation after Spring EQ 2015 (chart shown set for DC) which happens to be a Lunar Eclipse on April 4 @14Libra, the date that Passover begins. The April 4 lunation 'eclipses' US natal Saturn (lawmakers, laws, authority, accountability, the status quo, old men) which may indicate a cosmic link to the Netanyahu-to-Congress turmoil theatrically set up by thuggish Republicans who go out of their way to undermine congressional tradition while demonstrating once again their disdain for President Obama.

The April 4, 2015 Lunar Eclipse with chart shown will be discussed more fully in a soon-to-be-published post.

Saturn-North Node and The Mystery of the 3 Days

Number 3, Saturn, and the North Node of Encounters with Destiny

by Jude Cowell

There are many associations for the number three. Number 3 is known as "the Light" and is considered a holy number according to many sources and in the 3rd verse of Genesis chapter 1, God said, Let there be light and there was. It is the number of perfection, harmony, and Higher Wisdom and, being Jupiterian, is often thought to be 'lucky'. Plus, on the cosmic level, the Holy Spirit is naturally linked to the number 3 in our solar system which is based upon numbers.

Triangles and pyramids have 3 points and in occult symbols, 3 is linked with goddess Isis Urania, Venus Urania, Horus, the Virgin Diana, and The Empress card in Tarot in which she is shown holding the 'orb of the world'. (Kozminsky.)

One superstitious connection to number 3 is from *Kozminsky who cites Medieval Myths (published February 1869): "There is said to be a tradition of Norman-Monkish origin that the number three is stamped upon the Royal Line of England so that there shall not be more than 3 princes in succession without a revolution..." (his italics). He then provides a list of kings, revolutions, and crown-passings in order to elucidate the point.

Add to all this that in ancient Astrology, the 3rd day after a New Moon was considered the first fortunate day of the month.

Saturn-NN in Astrology

In Reinhold Ebertin's The Combination of Stellar Influences the pairing of Saturn and the Moon's North Node (NN) relates to isolation, inhibition in associations, lack of adaptability, depression, grief, death of kindred, funerals, contact with elderly persons, the organism affected by shock events or an electric shock, disadvantages through others, teamwork that steadily becomes more difficult, and separation from the astral body (my italics).

In addition, Ebertin gives another potential for the Saturn-NN combo which some may label as occult (hidden): the mystery of the three days.

For those of us in particular who study cycles and days via Astrology, there is an interesting page concerning a very special day in history when the Sun set at noon thus creating 'a day within a day' which turned two days into three and fulfilled prophecy.

And whether you're an astrologer or not, dear reader, you may wish more information concerning The Mystery of the 3 Days and 3 Nights.

March 3, 2015 Full Moon in Virgo: "Faith and Reason Shake Hands"

The Full Moon @14Vir50 on March 5, 2015

by Jude Cowell

The Earth-Water combination of March 3, 2015's Full Moon @14Vir50 indicates supportive, practical, and nourishing energies with the Sun in Watery Pisces. Exact at 1:05 pm EDT, the Sun Pisces-Moon Virgo blend is shared natally by such personalities as Luther Burbank, Alexander Graham Bell, Jack Kerouac, Glenn Miller, Roberto Assagioli (see quote, below), and Senator Edward Kennedy.

This is the Syzygy Moon (last lunation) prior to Spring Equinox on March 20, 2015 (6:45 pm EDT, a New Moon) and the Solar Eclipse @29Pis27 which manifests on that date at 5:36 am. Of course, Spring Equinox is also called the Aries Ingress (Sun to Mars-ruled Aries Point, 00Ari00:00) which spotlights major changes and peaks of activity on the world stage and stands as a predictive horoscope for an entire year. Other information is gained by consulting the horoscopes of Summer Solstice in June (00Can00), Autumn Equinox in September (00Lib00), and Winter Solstice in December (00Cap00) along with America's Solar Return of July, plus, other national Return horoscopes, and event charts.

Information found in President Obama's Solar Return in August 2015 is also relevant to the course of our nation along with transits and progressions to all related horoscopes; these must be studied for a fuller picture (although not suitable for today's brief post.)

Full Moon (awareness, opposition, culmination, relationships) March 3, 2015: Sun Pisces-Moon Virgo, the "Faith and Reason Shake Hands" *blend, denotes energies that give broad intelligence, analytical talent, and great perception which will bolster the Full Moon awareness factor. But in what departments of life? On a personal level, perception will be most notable for those who are aware of their natal planetary placements---in which house do you find 14/15 Virgo and 14/15 Pisces for there is where illumination will occur. On a mundane level, we may expect the victim-savior axis of Virgo-Pisces to be highlighted by the light of the March 3 Full Moon and the polarity emphasizes the tragedy of more brutality and revenge, as you know.

*Small events bring enormous consequences

Additionally, sign rulers Mercury (Virgo) and Jupiter (Pisces--with sub-ruler Neptune now strong in its own sign) and the Mercury-Jupiter and Mercury-Neptune pairings of energies are worth considering. In the realms of politics and business, we find Mercury-Jupiter denoting such potentials as expanding communications and transport systems, and discussions on legal, business, religious, and/or philosophical matters and theories. Such discussions and plans indicate possibilities for strained budgets, inflation concerns, religious leaders vying for political power, and scholarship censored by religious beliefs. Well-considered communications bring benefits with Mercury-Jupiter but with a caution against promoting overblown ideas or ideals.

With Mercury-Neptune we find a legislature controlling the excessive dreams and plans of government and business leaders while futuristic visualizations are promoted by leaders sharing their dreams of growth, development, and progress. Of course, the presence of nebulous Neptune, planet of veils, masks, fog, smoke, inspiration, and deception adds its typical undermining influence which leads to instability; weak or artificial plans need rethinking.

Use of delusion to mesmerize the public (propaganda) is evident for communications promise more than can be delivered and serve to divert the people's attention from important matters which may be carried out surreptitiously by fraudsters and spendthrifts with the Neptunian media playing the usual supporting role of keeping the corporate ball in the air.

And since a Full Moon is often a time of relationship fulfillment and brings a culmination of some kind, the Moon's ability to grant us fuller awareness across the Virgo-Pisces axis may clarify that others are not what we thought them to be---or, that they have purposefully deceived or even secretly harmed us. A wise course is to beware of illusion and deception under the silver moonbeams of March!

Now in spite of the fact that a "Faith and Reason" influence adds Illuminati-New World Order-globalism vibes to the March 3 Full Moon via Neptune (Faith, Spirituality) and Uranus (Reason, Science), let's close with some very good advice for all world leaders and wanna-bes, and for the war-wagers who profit from the deaths of others. The quote concerns the victim-savior axis even though as a group the power elite class seems to be too craven and self-serving to learn from it (which to me makes them seem rather ignorant):

"Without forgiveness life is governed by...an endless cycle of resentment and retaliation." Roberto Assagioli.

Tragically for humanity, that's the sort of natural law their plans for global governance depend on.

Italy warned Libyan jihadists are ‘just south of Rome’ (plus, Eclipses)

Media reports tell us that the city of Rome is now under threat by jihadists looking to settle a very old score as the next world war brews. Wonder if the pope is feeling anxious?

From The Independent: Italy warned Libyan jihadists are 'just south of Rome'.

Fears in Italy of an imminent Islamic terror attack mounted after Libya-based Isis affiliates warned the jihadist group was now "just south of Rome".

The old East vs West conflict replays in the New Millennium as the East uses extreme violence to establish its own version of 'global governance'...just as Western 'new world order' promoters knew they would. To me it seems the influence of the August 11, 1999 Solar Eclipse is starkly revealed by such brutality and power struggles. As you know, this is the eclipse Nostradamus emphasized, the one with its *Oxen, Lion, Eagle, and Angel Points featured as noted in the Book of Revelation---when the angels 'let go the winds of war'. And war is precisely what has been unleashed thanks to power elite politicians, their enablers and financial backers, and "insurgents" as Washington prefers to call them.

Of course, we in the West use our own blend of brutality, violence, torture, snipers, assassinations, and bombs, don't we? And it's usually veiled by propaganda such as "spreading democracy". Even western sanctions against other nations via the UN may starve and kill; meanwhile millions of refugees are created and many are knocking on western doors.

Currently Jupiter now traverses Rx and Direct through the sign of Leo so the planet of increase and expansion now affects the degree (18Leo) of the 1999 "King of Terror" Eclipse (or, 'King of Alarm' Eclipse including financial crises) which is also called the 'Mother of All Eclipses' in the 1 North Saros Series which began on January 4, 1639 @13Cap48. At the least, we now have two sensitized degrees from the 1N Series: 18Leo and 13Cap long with their opposite degrees (18AQ and 13Cancer--the degree of America's natal Sun on July 4, 1776.) Yes, there are rules for the duration of influence for eclipses but to me, this eclipse's powerful affects are ongoing for all of humanity.

As you know, assassin Pluto, powerful and wealthy representative of The Underworld and of the Pope, now creeps through Capricorn and has opposed US natal Venus, Jupiter, and most recently, US natal Sun (the president). You do not need Astrology to tell you about the major conflicts and government topplings the transformative Pluto transit describes in an As Above, So Below fashion for the news media tells plutonian tales 24/7.

1N themes include a caution against making hasty decisions because information is 'distorted and possibly false' and 'unexpected events' along with fatigue and health problems (Brady.) Sometimes it seems the US government has lost any ability it ever had to tell the truth to the public. Not that Washington is the only one using falsehood as a tactic to get its way.

Adding to the intensity is the ongoing Cardinal Square between Uranus and Pluto, the revolutionary pair. Their 7th and last exact square occurs on March 16, 2015 though sighs of relief on that date would be premature.

Events and people born under the 1N Series include: the UN, the first atomic bomb attack, the assassination of John F. Kennedy, and Washington Irving, author of Sleepy Hollow, a novel that now inspires a FOX TV show of the same name which uses such themes as prophecy, horsemen and the Apocalypse, demonic possession, a 'new world order', life vs death, reincarnation, satanism and witchcraft, and Witnesses. Needless to say, the atmosphere of and the events occurring on Sleepy Hollow ring out with vibes of the outer planets, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, with Mars, god of war, nearby.

And I might even say that the Solar Eclipse of August 11, 1999 influences the show's themes, too. Someone is certainly placing these dark themes within the Collective Unconscious with the satanic 'entertainment' fare we're constantly fed.

Here listed are the Solar Eclipses of 2015, 2016, and 2017 with a few details; #6 is the next manifestation in the 1 North Series.

"Who Is Albert Pike?" (video) with a view on Pike's natal planets

General Albert Pike December 29, 1809: Jupiterian Plotter

by Jude Cowell

Here's a brief video concerning Albert Pike, Confederate General, major leader of Freemasons, possibly a founder of the Ku Klux Klan and member of the Knights of the Golden Circle, World War plotter and strategist, and the only Confederate General immortalized via statue in Washington DC. Attached to his controversial legacy is a creepy tale that his body lies in a vault at the Scottish Rite Temple a few blocks from the White House yet he's listed among those resting at Oak Hill Cemetery in Georgetown, DC (scroll to the letter P).

Yet bodies can be dug up and moved under cover of darkness, can't they? Thomas Paine's was! Or perhaps only Pike's skull 'graces' the Temple in DC for you know how secret organizations with visions of global power are attracted to death, skulls, and bones. No matter where his remains are located, Grand Poo Bah Pike died at age 81 and is long gone since April 2, 1891...

~:~

For more info try this interesting site with articles concerning the Illuminati, Albert Pike, his fabled 1871 letter to Mazzini in which he details plans for three World Wars in order to take over the world, and many more such controversial topics, if you get into those sorts of curiosities. Pike's letter may have been written later by unknown sources since a few of its terms were not in use until after 1871. Hmmm...if so, a fake letter full of sinister intent sounds to me like plotters plotting against a plotter!

As for Albert Pike's natal horoscope, I am reluctant to post a version of it due to his birth hour being unknown and the fact that on December 29, 1809 the Moon left late degrees of Virgo and entered Libra at 3:27:28 am LMT (using Solar Fire Gold v9 software.)

Since Luna is the lead planet of a Locomotive pattern (an indicator of executive ability and achievement--Jones) it's quite inconvenient not knowing whether natal Moon was in earthy, practical Virgo or airy, sociable Libra--one sign ruled by Mercury (in Capricorn), the other by Venus (in Sagittarius.) Both Mercury (communication, thinking, planning, travel, the teacher, writer, magician) and Venus (values, relationships, diplomacy--but also, the goddess of love and war) are interesting in the chart with Mercury conjunct his Capricorn Sun and Venus sextile Mars (in Aquarius) and possibly his chart-ruler with Libra rising. In fact, the close conjunction of Sun and Mercury supports the legend of his genius (allegedly he spoke several languages, was a teacher in his early days, and a Jupiterian figure for certain--the General, the Guru, the Priest, the Professor, the Banker, etc.) Check his photos to admire his widened girth!

As you know, using the Sabian Symbols to rectify a chart is a fascinating, time consuming task yet the symbol for '29 Virgo' (Moon?) seems to me to be appropriate for Pike's occult activities and interests: "A Man Gaining Secret Knowledge from an Ancient Scroll He Is Reading...DISCOVERY." Another curious one is '7 Capricorn' for natal Mercury: "A Veiled Prophet of Power...SUPREMACY." You may disagree as you wish for these degrees are rounded up from the 12:00 am chart until the Moon enters Libra which also moves Mercury ahead to '8 Cap'. Naturally there are many other factors to consider as well and perhaps one of you will take a little time one day and spend it with Albert's natal planets.

With Moon in Virgo, Venus May Be Chart-Ruler

Now since his natal Sun (personality) has no other major aspect to it other than the conjunction with Mercury making our picture here of Mr. Pike's character quite sparse, perhaps a few words about his Venus-Mars sextile are in order since the aspect is retained throughout the 24-hour period of his birth date. This aspect (60 degrees) between the relational Aries-Libra pair denotes a good organizer and a 'talent scout'--one who learns to use people, their talents, and resources in the best ways possible. Making necessary personal sacrifices to reach goals is indicated along with an ability to disguise aggressive tendencies though when needed, forceful assertiveness may be used to the point of bluntness.

For some people born with a Venus-Mars sextile, the 'killer instinct' can be in evidence with a strong need to be in charge. Since Pike was in charge--as a Confederate General, as a global leader of Freemasonry--I surmise that he used the opportunities and abilities contained within this sextile to much advantage. And since a determined imperative for reaching closure is also a trait of a Venus-Mars sextile person, my guess is that leaving things 'pending'---especially a 'new world order' or a Utopian global government--is an envisioned goal passed down through the generations which now inspires our current crop of infiltrators and power-grabbers to complete the job. For we now see the plan outlined in "Pike's letter to Mazzini" occurring across the Middle East and elsewhere with America's "authorization of war powers" that will further the goal of perpetual war and collapse.

But with the current theatrically hesitant 114th Congress, our Commander-in-Chief President 'Nobel Peace Prize' Obama has now asserted that he doesn't need the approval of Congress in order to wage war, war, and more war. After all, even the most apathetic of Americans cannot fail to notice that the Pentagon is waging disastrous war in several 'theaters of operation' already.

"War against a foreign country only happens when the moneyed classes think they are going to profit from it." - George Orwell.

And as truth-teller General Smedley Butler correctly surmised, "War is a Racket."

Add to those common sense truths some freakish thing like Pike's-Bacon's-Weishaupt's Utopian plan and the whole corrupt conglomeration has a distinct odor of depopulation, fraud, and psychosis, don't you think?

It's Friday the 13th, 2015 and superstition lingers

A Fuss for Friday February 13, 2015

by Jude Cowell

Surrounded by superstition since the 19th century and even earlier, Friday the 13th is the most feared date in history, perhaps seconded by the Ides of March.

Promoted in such novels as Friday the Thirteenth by Thomas W. Lawson (1907), the date is considered by many to be linked to King Philip's mass arrest of Knights Templar--including Jacques DeMolay--on Friday October 13, 1307, ostensibly to avoid the crown's debts owed to the Templars whose pioneering banking prowess may be the model of, if not the basis for, the world's current usurious central banking criminality and power-grabbiness.

And of course, the number '13' is well known for its numerology symbolism and is usually considered to be *unfortunate though occult sources such as Isidore Kozminsky say it's a number of regeneration, unity, and prosperity. Some of the negativity cast upon Friday the 13th may arise from the crucifixion of Christ on a Friday, the day of preparation prior to the Sabbath Day when mankind is advised to rest and hold sacred from mundane work (according to the Fourth Commandment of God). From my own church experience, I am shown that the Sabbath Day is a 24-hour 'window of time through which we may see Eternity', a description that astrologers and others can appreciate since our work with cosmic cycles makes obvious that 'every 7th day is the 7th day' back to the original--the number a day occupies in the weekly cycle does not change even if its name changes from one culture to another. But I digress. Or do I?

If not, then perhaps there is something to the repetition of the number 13 in a calendar just as a degree is sensitized and thus emphasized by an eclipse manifesting upon it. Such is the case when we look at a sunrise horoscope set for Paris on October 13, 1307 (the mass arrests of Templars began at dawn with 'Paris' as a symbol of France) for some interesting chart factors pop out:

Sun and Ascendant 27Lib08 followed by Midas 28:24 (the Templars?), Mercury 11Sco24, Uranus 11:41, Neptune 12:17, and Saturn 14:01 conjunct Fixed Star Agena (Beta Centaurus: 'the pain of learning'), all in 1st house (Placidus). Agena is an interesting star though not always used and is the 'partner star' of Toliman (aka, Bungala; Alpha Centaurus). Both stars relate to education, learning, and sacrifice at an altar; aligned they point toward the Southern Cross. One of the charges in court used against the Templars was that they practiced unholy rites such as sacrificing on an altar dedicated to demonic forces (Pope Clement V was plotting from his lair in Rome) rather than to Christ.

For more on such stars as Agena and Toliman, see Brady's Predictive Astrology.

Also rising in the 12th house of Karma, Self-Undoing, and Politics, is the North Node of destiny @13Lib44 Rx, so recently conjoined by the current NN, the head of the dragon. In fact, today, on this particular Friday the 13th, transiting NN @11Libra conjoins the 1307 date's Pre-Natal Solar Eclipse degree of 11Lib34 in 12th house and although I've searched online and elsewhere, the Saros Series for that Solar Eclipse has not been located--that bit of information seems to be missing. However, the Solar Eclipse in Libra did occur on October 7, 1307 ("Saros 42" say websites but not the number I need for its themes) and was preceded two weeks earlier by a Lunar Eclipse on September 22, 1307.

Scorpio Rising...

So let's consider a few factors in the October 13, 1307 chart with its foursome of planets rising in the occult sign of Scorpio: Mercury, Uranus, Neptune, and Saturn, the last a triple conjunction of heavy hitters. As you know, Uranus and Neptune are The Enlightenment pair which last met in Great Conjunction three times in 1993 at and around 18 Capricorn (POLITICAL POWER in the Sabian Symbols) during the presidency of Bill Clinton. Their last exact conjunction on Oct 24th forms the basis for a modern 'New World Order' natal horoscope often referred to by yours truly primarily because the symbol for 18 Capricorn is descriptive of what is being negatively and progressively implemented in the realm of Politics: "smug or strong-armed paternalism"--Jones. In the chart, the Scorpio foursome of 1307 falls between 1993 Sun and Mars in 10th house (Washington DC).

October 13, 1307 sunrise 6:34:10 am LMT Paris, France: Hour of Venus, the chart-ruler @22Virgo in 11th House and Dispositor of the Moon in Taurus

In the 2nd house of Money and Values is banker planet Jupiter in its own sign of Sagittarius, sign of The Seeker on a Sacred Quest; Scorpio planets Mars and Pluto are in Capricorn and Aquarius, respectively, in 3rd and 4th houses. The first pair of planets to rise are Mercury and Uranus denoting potentials for intuition, astuteness, nervous haste, inventiveness, shrewdness, revolutionary spirit, a scattering of energies, brutal frankness, upset, contradiction, physics and math, the spinal cord, and "too many irons in the fire"--Ebertin. Note that the Templars were tortured into confession with methods repeated during The Inquisition and by the US and others in our era.

The intense Mercury-Uranus conjunction of 1307 was spotlighted (however dimly) on November 3, 2013 by what I've termed the "Illumination Eclipse" due to its initial manifestation containing a trine between the Illuminati-Enlightenment-Age of Reason planets, Uranus and Neptune (Science blends with Religion though some call it Faith).

The November 3, 2013 Solar Eclipse occurred @11Sco15 with Lord Saturn @13Sco52--near its 1307 degree (basically a Saturn Return for the 1307 mass arrests) in the 16 North Saros Series with themes of 'sudden release of unconscious material; illumination of ideas that can be acted upon; a sense of inspiration and deep insight'--Brady). Eclipse Mercury Rx and NN conjoined @7Scorpio---all in the 12th house when the chart is set for Washington DC, our capital city built upon Sacred Geometry principles using the ancient Megalithic Yard system of measurement.

Next up in the 1307 horoscope is the Saturn-Neptune pair indicating such apt potentials as suffering, asceticism, renunciation, readiness for sacrifice, foresight, dual characters, lower vs higher natures (idealism vs materialism), a methodical execution of plans, painful and tormenting inhibitions, painstaking efforts, distrust, peculiar temperaments, poor-sick-depressed people. Saturn-Neptune forms the 'illness axis' of any horoscope. (All planetary pair info paraphrased from Ebertin's The Combination of Stellar Influences).

In closing, I shall add that at sunrise on October 13, 1307, the 7th house Moon @12Tau59 opposed the Scorpio planets. This gives a Sun Libra-Moon Taurus Venusian atmosphere to the day with an Air-Earth quality that 'observes, thinks, plans a course of action, then acts' (Harvey) and this may refer to the monarch of France and the Pope but also to the Templars who escaped the purge---some say first to Scotland and then on to the what was to become America, the Utopian 'New Atlantis' envisioned by Sir Francis Bacon (Tudor), Bartholomew Gosnold (who sailed to Jamestown), Adam Weishaupt (founder of the Bavarian Illuminati on May 1, 1776), and others of the anti-democratic, anti-ownership, anti-religion, anti-government Illuminati persuasion.

And of course, goddess Venus can be extremely vengeful and when last to rise before the Sun (oriental) as in 1307, denotes those who work with very valuable things such as gold, silver, and gemstones.

Well, there you have it, friends, my fuss for this Friday the 13th, 2015. If this post contains any useful or curiously interesting information for you, do consider me quite pleased!

*In his The Symbols and Meanings of Numbers, Kozminsky adds the occult symbol for '13' is A Skeleton with scythe (Death) reaping down men which certainly applies to actions stemming from the arrests of October 13, 1307. He also mentions that "a crowned head of a man has fallen at the point of the scythe", a picture worthy of correlation with certain historical events for those who may be curious about events such as the French Revolution and the beheading of King Louis XVI which was apparently enacted as revenge for the execution of Jacques DeMolay.
