MY OBJECTION… TO ORANIZED RELIGIONS…

…and a winter fireside story for your pleasure…

As you may have noticed from my writings, I make no alliance to any of the organized world religions… I will clarify… and justify my bias…

They all represent a ‘humanized’ Solar Myth… that simply in allegorical images tells of the annual Winter Solstice… the death and rebirth of the SUN OF GOD… the Sun/Son of God is the humanized version…

Now… the problems start when you take the allegory literally… the Sun/Sons of God have been many over the eons… Jesus, Mithra, Buddha, Krishna, Osiris, Baccus, Attis… and others… all born on the 25th of December… of virgin birth… they all preach… all are killed… and all of them are resurrected…

These allegories are based on the various transits of the seven, visible to the naked eye… heavenly bodies of ancient times… The Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn…

Ancient astrologers… when the Stonehenge was being used as an outdoor astrology chart calculator… observed that certain types of events, cycles of weather, the four seasons, the Moon’s influence on the waters and crops… would occur when these moving ‘stars’ would be at certain locations and angles to one another…

These Astrology Wizards are mathematicians, astronomers, scientists, who simply impartially observe, measure, and record… what is happening… and what is verifiable… by repeating confirmations…





Okay… let’s play pretend… and make up a myth, a parable, a story… that explains all of this…

…pour a cup of hot green tea …put another log on the fire …snuggle up close in the afghan… all warm and comfy…





Once upon a time long ago… in old… very old… southern England… maybe, a year like 10,537 BCE… the Elder Chief of the local Druids and Pagans… quietly approaches the astrologer Wizard, Linus…

…who stands in the center of the stone ring …staring up at the night sky… after a long silence, Linus lifts his staff and points into the night sky and speaks…

“There… the Red one approaches the Ringed one… there. …within a fortnight they will meet …and the Moon joins them…as if to do battle… this bodes ill… perhaps, the Earth Goddess Gaia moves… churning the winds and the seas… and the Viking jerks may try to invade again…

…and the Giant one there… makes the triangle shape toward our villages… if we are prepared… the good fortune of the Giant may be with us… but only if we take hold of the graceful forces by our attention and efforts… otherwise, they pass us by… and disaster may follow hard upon… as the malifics of the heavens duel at the Median Coli… squared upon by Algol… the evil star over there…

…double the watches… tell the good people of the villages to lay up additional stores of food… a Moon’s sum.”

…and the Chief holds council and tells his captains and lieutenants, “Just got back from a conference with the Wiz… trouble may be brewing within the fortnight… Gaia moves… wind howls… and maybe the Vikings again… put up a month’s supply of food.” and so counseled …they checked their kits and weapons …and kept their eyes peeled...

…and, lo… it all came to pass… two days before the sky battle of the moving stars… as Luna approaches… Gaia did shake a bit… not too bad… but enough to have to pick things up afterward… and the very day that the village astrologer Wizard, Linus, foretold… the watchman on the high hill sparked his signal fire… the Vikings! …their sails are seen on the horizon…

The militia assembles on the beaches… archers are ready to light and send volleys of flaming arrows into the sails and decks of the approaching Viking ships… swords are drawn… shields at the ready… the warriors stand their line… ready for battle… to defend their homes and people…

…and, lo… a sudden and mighty gale blows up and across the sea… the Viking ships toss about… sails rip loose… masts snap… and the militia cries, Hoorah! …as they watch the Viking ships capsize and sink into a dark whirlpool of raging waters… beneath the damning beams of the evil star… Algol…

By lamp light in his thatch house down by the river Linus meticulously marks down on parchment the planet alignments in the sky of the night… grateful villagers stop by bringing him donations of grain, sweet cakes, beef jerky, jugs of spirits, fruits, warm garments…

They take care of him… he’s the Wiz… and he serves all the good people of the villages and his sacred science impartially… and on occasion, he will give his apprentice the day off… and, Twila, …a lady from the local ‘Moon Temple Club’ …and a sacred ritual dancer …drops by …and they go on a picnic… and for a stroll through the woods collecting sacred mushrooms and herbs… and in the evening by a warm fire… they share their mutual affections for one another…

…by the next Moon the Red star passed the Ringed One… and they all lived happier and easier… for a while.

It was a good life… and along comes greedy politicians and a corrupt shaman… of the left hand path… and they steal all our meticulous records and research, take our lesson plans with the allegories to simplify the difficult to explain mathematical parts… and they make an alleged real person out of this… and make up these fantastic fibs…

…all based on the mathematical and astrological projections into the future that me and my brother and sister astrologers… a fraternity with a long and ancient lineage …have spent more than a few millennia figuring out!

…and for what? …they want to scare people …and to rob them of their property and money …and then they declare me and all astrologers ‘heretics’ and order us burned at the stake!

…those of us who could …had to flee in the night for our very lives… with only what we could carry… and we hid underground… for centuries… in secret underground cities… grottos… and caves!

…can you empathize with how that feels?… to work the cold night shift at the Stonehenge for millennia… for the benefit of the good and general populace… only to get ripped off… then ridiculed and condemned… by tyrants, crooks, and con men!

…perhaps, now, dear reader …you will better understand my lack of support …for the current and past organized religions.

Despite the current tensions and madness… the current mutual reception of Uranus and Neptune transiting through Pisces and Aquarius… can be a very useful energy for self hypnosis and past life regression meditation… it can be a lots of fun…. it’s like watching and being in your own personal adventure movies….and for a writer… it’s the subconscious ‘Mother Lode’… of stories to tell…

…may the peace and love of the cosmos be with you…

ANOTHER TOWER OF BABEL? …DUBAI’S KHALIFA TOWER

http://www1.voanews.com/english/news/economy-and-business/Dubais-Khalifa-Tower-Worlds-Tallest-Building-Opens-with-Fanfare-80697577.html

“Dubai’s Khalifa Tower, World’s Tallest Building, Opens With Fanfare”





This an excellent opportunity for a mundane event chart… and the charting of an entity’s future… using, what I refer to as a, ‘Noon style destiny chart.’

The Mid Heaven is on the recent Eclipse axis at 9 degrees of Capricorn… a very sensitive point for some time to come… especially in the Middle East… There is also a triple conjunct of the Sun, Venus, and Mercury at 13-14 degrees of Capricorn, Mercury retrograde, and both Mercury and Venus are ‘under the beams’ (within 2 degrees of the Sun, the orb varies with the individual astrologer, and in this point I hold a conservative view of 2 degrees, others may allow up to 6)…and it is therefore termed ‘combust’ …and is considered a weakened influence… nonetheless, it indicates the ‘fanfare’ of the event, being within orb of the Mid Heaven.

The troublesome future transit that I see occurs around February 16th, 2015… as transiting Pluto conjuncts this natal Sun/Mercury/Venus triplet at 13-14 degrees of Capricorn… A historical example of this type of transit would the Pluto transit over the natal Sun of the former Soviet Union in the early 1990’s… and their internal collapse…

…also threatening is the transit of Uranus that conjuncts the Ascendant at 13 degrees of Aries… which is thus an exact square to the Pluto conjunct! …ominous …and the transiting conjunct of Venus and Mars at 24-26 degrees of Pisces will have just passed over the natal Uranus at 23 degrees…

The grace of the natal Moon trine to the Mid Heaven and triple conjunct may favor the outcome… through diligent maintenance and defense… as would indicated by Saturn in the 6th House of service…

…not to worry 2015 is a ways off …and the whole planet may be going through stressful times with those transits… life will go on…

In a near future article I will explain the Apocalypse and Deluge allegories… and how they apply to our astrological transits.

…may the peace and love of the cosmos be with you…

MORE FOUL WEATHER… AND MERCURY RETROGRADE DELAYS...

MORE ECLIPSE AFTERMATH… 7.2 EARTHQUAKE AND TSUNAMI

http://www.businessweek.com/news/2010-01-04/solomon-islands-hit-by-7-2-magnitude-earthquake-local-tsunami.html

“Solomon Islands Hit by 7.2 Magnitude Earthquake, Local Tsunami”





No deaths reported, but I would imagine the 6000 or so folks in the town of Gizo got bounced around a bit… first at 8:48 A.M. a 6.5 quake occurred… then the big one at 9:46, the 7.2… and then after shocks of 5.3, 5.2, and 5.7…and fortunately the tsunami was only about two feet high.

For the mundane astrologer a solid prognostication ‘hit’… another bit of data to support the stress theories of close to Earth (perigee) eclipses… they do seem to pull on things a bit.

This stress influence will continue until the 6th …check you kits.

…before the earthquake news I had another short article …so, I’ll just add it here …some very interesting discoveries again,

ALONG WITH THE MADNESS… URANUS ALSO GIVES DISCOVERY

http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2009/12/31/ancient-earth-carvings-amazon-jungle/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%253A+foxnews%252Fscitech+%2528Text+-+SciTech%2529

“Ancient Earth Carvings Found in Amazon Jungle”





Yet another strange (Pisces, Neptune ruled) discovery (Uranus transiting through Pisces)… hidden geoglyphs under the former jungle forests… who made them? …how did they make them? …when did they make them? …and why did they make them?

From an aerial view… I’d say that was rather good large scale geometry for ‘primitives’… humm, I wonder if the sides, or corners lay on a north-south axis?

…interesting times …may the peace and love of the cosmos be with you…

WHAT? …$38,500 BLASPHEMY FINE? NOW THAT IS BLASPHEMY!

http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/europe/01/02/ireland.blasphemy.law/

“Irish atheists use Bjork, Mark Twain to challenge blasphemy law”

A law in Ireland, making blasphemy a crime punishable by a $35,800 fine, came into effect January 1. An Irish atheist group is challenging that law by publishing ‘blasphemous’ quotations that include the words of Jesus, Muhammad, Mark Twain, and others.

A fine for blasphemy?! …The many times edited, and rewritten, and the outright plagiarism of the Bible …is the BLASPHEMY! The continued acts of pedophilia …and covered up acts of pedophilia …by some in the Irish Catholic clergy …is the BLASPHEMY!

Why a $38,500 fine? …could it be that you’re broke? …could it be that you’re losing thousands of dissolutioned followers who no longer fill your coffers with money out of fear of some God’s retribution? …could it be that you’re strapped for money because many adults who were molested and or raped as children by your clergy are now winning multi-million dollar lawsuits for pyschological damages and emotional suffering?

It is not that far back in my memory of reading weekly the gastly accounts of the Protestants and Catholics of Ireleand …blowing themselves to pieces and shooting each other …and you pass judgement on the waring religious sects of the Middle East?!?… and now you want to fine someone $38,500 … simply because …you can no longer get away with burning them at the stake!

Damnit! …for the sanity of the world …once and for all …permanently and absolutely …separate the church and the state! …everywhere! …and keep some kind of free press alive! …or they will be burning you at the stake for even thinking!

...the astrology? ...it must be the current retrograde Mercury ...or maybe the retrograde mentality of the church...

NOW THIS IS RARE… A CONFESSION OF HYPE.

http://www.foodconsumer.org/newsite/Non-food/Healthcare/harvard_says_swine_flu_was_oversold_0201100713.html

“Harvard Takes It Back and Says Swine Flu was Oversold”

“…It started last month when British and French media began saying the H1N1 pandemic has been "hyped" by medical researchers to further their own cause, boost research grants and line the pockets of drug companies.”

“…After analyzing H1N1 deaths in the United States in the spring, then projecting outcomes for this past fall, they found the flu season should have been no different than a typical flu season -- and possibly even milder than average!”

As transiting Jupiter (exaggeration, hype) approaches its third conjunct with Neptune (drugs, fraud) in the sign of Aquarius… and Mars remains in orb of opposition to them from Leo… we’ve seen this Mars/Neptune aspect in scandals all through last year… and as they approach their conjunct for a 3rd time… more vicious lies and scandal may surface soon.

Now if this article is true …how are these perpetrators of fraud and panic…in dealing with the health and welfare of the general world population… for MONEY… any different in the lack of ethics and morals than Bernie Madoff stealing charity money?… and insider traders manipulating the stock market? …or politicians lying about weapons of mass destruction?

In my opinion… the real medicine that can begin to cure the world of its present ills… is simple TRUTH …and as painful, shocking, and embarrassing as it may be… it is absolutely necessary if we are to survive this corrupt lying and deadly cancer of greed… and power.

That is the inhuman motivation of a very small minority of mega wealthy people in gated communities throughout the world who manipulate the news… buy both sides of the politics… and have hidden their ill gotten gains in Swiss numbered bank accounts… and other secret vaults… since the fall of the Roman Empire.

Follow the money trail… at the end of it you will find the real evil.

ECLIPSE AFTERMATH… WATER, MUD, AND BOMBS

“Mayon volcano alert lowered: Philippines”





They got lucky on that one …but then Uranus (sudden accidents) in Pisces (water)…and the eclipse in an earth sign (Capricorn)… and there is a massive and fatal mud slide in Brazil,
