About Me:
I see that Gaia gives me the Chinese Sign of the Wood Ox. My research finds that people who come under wood ox astrology are put on a higher pedestal than other people. Born geniuses these people are bright and brilliant. Along with their charming personality they are also quite stubborn and short tempered. Wood ox people have many times been mentors and people tend to look up to them. These people also have a great sense of humor and challenge everyone's tickling buds. They have a strong moral code and believe in ethics and integrity in life. Wood oxen people are also very practical but the finances are not very stable, as they tend to lend money to friends quite often. People under this Chinese sign are very good with relationships. They always sit down and talk their differences over and don't let misunderstandings crop between them. This is great to hear. Western astrology has been debased by commercialization.
There is much about astrology I didn't know until I was fully exposed. Man has looked to the heavens from his beginning and found that we are inextricably connected. My profile links with the movements of the heavens in an astounding way. Cosmic movements are not the cause of events and human characteristics here on Earth. They are the reflection. There is only one great drama taking place, under the direction of the superconsciousness of the universe. A groundswell is building that is going to break and sweep the world.
Astrology and numerology are akin. Numerology uses the name one is given at birth to determine the vocation, what one came to overcome from a past life, and one's cosmic gift. The name is reduced to a number. My number is 7. In Numerology and The Divine Triangle, “You are here to use and develop your mind… You should learn to spend time by yourself in the woods…” I live in the woods. I spend most of my time by myself.
With my Saturn in Scorpio, in my past life I could have been a powerful politician, turning chaos into intensity, fear into drive. I could have been someone like Barrack Obama. We say, “what comes around goes around.” It's true. History repeats itself. I'm here in this life to be more contemplative. Something new is in the works; at least as far as anybody knows. Every 25,000 years or so, we enter the Age of Aquarius. The control becomes autonomous; we become self-governed. In all of recorded history, this has never before happened. We're leaving the ages of authoritarian control. This is a transitory time.
Sir Isaac Newton, who established fixed laws of motion through calculus, his mathematical invention, it is interesting to note that his interest in math came from his interest in astrology. Although Newton wanted no part in it, from his time forward, man, from his understanding of the macrocosmic, began to think of himself as more important than God. The cutting edge of science is finally realizing that as conscious beings, we correspond with cosmic consciousness.
I was born in 1925, in the so-called flapper era. People danced the Charleston, the fashion short skirts and cloche hats. Tom Mix and Tony the Wonder Horse starred in Riders of the Purple Sage. Not many are aware that 1925 was a crucial year in America's history. The year I was born included the opening shot of the second battle for American independence. In 1925, the IRS was granted authority to examine personal income records.
My number 7 says “Many times you have to rely on your soul-force to solve difficult material problems. You may delve into the occult, the mysterious and the phenomenal side of life.” In 1973, from within, I received a bigger than life calling. It started with my disagreement with my income tax. I believed it was unconstitutional. The hard core of American's tradition is the belief in the U.S. Constitution, under which the representatives of the people are held in check by the rule of law. One of the judges in the Nuremberg trials, where the murdering Nazi leaders were judged, was Justice Jackson. He clearly spells out Congress' limitations in West Va. State Board of Education v. Barnette, 319 U.S. 624, 638 (1943). Justice Jackson for the Court:
“The very purpose of the Bill of Rights was to withdraw certain subjects from the vicissitudes of political controversy, to place them beyond the reach of majorities and officials and establish them as legal principles to be applied by the courts. One's right to life, liberty, and property …and other fundamental rights may not be submitted to vote; they depend on the outcome of no elections.”
In quantum mechanics, science has found that Bell's theorem declares objective reality has been wrongly conceived. We're subjective. The observer interacts with matter. Consciousness is involved. We have quantum minds in harmony with nature's God.
Although I've never had any legal training, I went to the county law library. I was led to the law I needed. In what I read, I felt that voices from the past were speaking to me. I took my tax case all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. The Supreme Court is objective. The individual is brushed aside. My legal action gave me a record to take to the press. An investigation proved that the IRS was lawlessly confiscating my property. Unfortunately, I was the only one helped, but my cause is an omen of the Age of Aquarius. James Allen, a prophet of the new age now at hand, in As A Man Thinketh:As a being of power, Intelligence and Love, and the lord of his own thoughts, man holds the key to every situation, and contains within himself that transforming and regenerative agency by which may make himself what he wills.
Shortly before my departure from my old life, I was having a repeating dream of flying on the back of a giant bird through a narrow, winding canyon, terrified. I couldn't see around the bends. Astrologers say that dreams of flying indicate that you are exploring your conscious mind at this time or connecting to the realm of spirits, angels, and other energetic beings.
When my ruling planet, Uranus, had transited to a position opposing itself when I was born, it would put the pressure on me to change, Accordingly, I departed my old life in Flower Mound, Texas on Good Friday 1975, arriving in Miami on Easter Sunday. I was on my way to a new and different life. For two years, I would sail the South Atlantic Ocean. Reborn, from then on, I would look within for my answers. When I was born, Aquarius was on my Ascendant, the point at which the eastern horizon intersects the ecliptic. (In astrology, everything is Pythagorean geometrics.) Aquarius is in my First House, the “I AM THAT I AM” house, the God-self house, if you will. In this location, it is called my “rising sign,” when the sun rose on my life on planet Earth. In that the sun travels across the surface of Earth at approximately 900 m.p.h., in order to know my rising sign, an astrologer must know where I was born and the exact time of my birth. I was born in Houston, Texas on September 17, 1925 at 4:51 P.M.C.S.T. No question about it. I'm Aquarius rising.
In my chart, My Sun, Moon, Mars, and Mercury are in my Seventh House, the house of partners. It makes partners the most important in my life. In the song Aquarius,
When the moon is in the Seventh House,
And Jupiter aligns with Mars,
Then peace will guide the planets,
And love will steer the stars.
Astrologers say that ,psychologically, Neptune can bring one, through confusion, to look for something else. With Neptune on the cusp of my Seventh House, it means I would be susceptible to misunderstanding in partnership matters. When I departed Flower Mound, at age 49, I was divorcing my second wife. The divorce trial was on September 8, 1975. I did well. We had just passed the new moon in Seventh House, which correlates with legal action. That was a positive for me. My Sun in the Ninth House was a positive. My astrologer named other positives. But the big plus for me was “the part of fortune in my chart.” My astrologer told me this indicated that there is a potential to gain from people who are secretly working against me.
When the moon is in the Seventh House, in my natal chart opposed to Uranus, I would have little use for the traditional, history, and the past in general, a series of holy wars. But wait a minute! My Sun, also in my Seventh House in my natal chart, was opposed to Uranus when I was born. I would cling to the traditional, take positions against trends. In my natal chart, my Mars, also in my Seventh House, was opposed to Uranus. I'd put a lot of energy into positions against trends. It fits exactly. I stand firmly by the U.S. Constitution and the law of all times, nature's Higher Law. I'm opposed to the trend of interpreting the law in light of today's needs. The lyrics are on target.
And now this comes to light. Progressed Charts are used to better understand what motivates one to want to create major life changes. Although one's birth chart remains the same, the Progressed Chart describes life changes. The events and emotions they describe are part of us, deeply ingrained in our psyche. Inner feelings start to become more important and central to one's life.
We're quantitatively from dust to dust. The progressed being has to do with the eternal self-here for a time in the quantitative universe. By the same token that we keep replacing our body cells, I now discover that we replace our eternal self during our time here. You don't get your answers from the world's authorities. You get their answers. You have to look within for your answers. This is a do-it-yourself life. If we but knew this, we wouldn't be killing each other.
On my progressed astrological chart, I note that my outer planets remains relatively unchanged. On my Progressed Chart on the day I departed my old life, while my Tenth House was vacant in my natal chart, Venus was in my Progressed Chart's Tenth House on the day I left my second wife. The Tenth House deals with the individual's base of operations with respect to society. It deals with carrying out one's responsibilities before the world and concerns public reputation. When I departed, everyone thought I'd run away from my responsibilities. Venus in the Tenth House on my departure meant that in the future I would be successful in dealing with the opposite sex.
In my Progressed Chart, Mars was added to my Eighth House, the house of joint resources. It affects the release of the Indwelling Spiritual Being back into the subtle planes. Mars in the Eighth House means strong desires and emotional intensity; energy and persistence are expended in getting things accomplished. I earlier mentioned that I was led to the law I needed at the county law library, and that in what I read, I felt that voices from the past were speaking to me. In the Eighth House, “individuals contact planes of being which are beyond the reach of their five physical senses, and they sometimes communicate with people who are not in physical incarnations.” Astrologer's Handbook.
In my Progressed Chart, my moon was in my Third House, which was vacant in my Natal Chart. This is the house of the conscious mind. It must exercise judgment and discrimination in choosing what the attention is allowed to dwell upon and thus where psychic energy of the individual will be directed. My major concern was my son by my second wife. My “part of fortune” above mentioned was working. Although the court's decision was largely in my favor, I saw to it that my son remained in his home. Although his mother had secretly been conniving to cheat me, I gave his mother a large part of that which had been awarded to me, and departed free of guilt. The Moon in the Third House means that I would be unconsciously influenced by my childhood influences. I could be prone to daydreaming and fantasy,
I'm not a practicing astrologer. I'm the recipient. During my time at sea, I married my first mate. She wasn't meant to be my mate ashore. She left me. Two weeks after she left, my fourth wife appeared. When the moon is in the Seventh House love will steer the stars. Our individual consciousness is in touch with cosmic consciousness, which steers the stars. it's all coming together. Since my departure from my old life, I've lived a charmed life. By the way, my transiting Jupiter opposed Venus in my Eighth House on April 4, 1976, the day I met my third wife. My astrologer had warned me to guard against that. Venus represents a women I might meet on April 4th. It's a minus, he told me.
That minus turned into a plus. On the first date with my fourth wife, a hike in the mountains near Mt. Saint Helens, on May 18, 1980, we were sitting on a log chatting when Karen said. “I want our's to be a platonic relationship.” At that very moment, we were made aware of the eruption. I think of it as a symbol-after a calamity, hope and renewal. Later, I asked Karen why she said that. She didn't know. “It just popped out.”
Fifteen years later, a friend gave Karen an “Astrological Compatibility” printout he had produced from a program in his computer. In it I read, “Your relationship with Karen, the platonic thing
was there from the start, and there is a sense of the brotherly and sisterly between you. Even if lovers, you will always be, first and foremost, good friends.” The moment I met Karen, I had the feeling I was meeting an old friend I'd not seen for a long time.
Believe or disbelieve that we're directly in communication with cosmic consciousness. The soul is defined as our immaterial essence, our animating principle, or actuating cause of life. Quantum physicist Evan Harris Walker, in The Physics of Consciousness, under “A God for Tomorrow,” “we have discovered proof that we exist as something more than pieces of matter. In the development of quantum theory, the observer emerges as co-equal in the foundry of creation.” In this connection, in discovering my soul mission, looking at my chart, I see that my Saturn is trine Pluto. This trine gives me the ability to understand the laws by which subtle forces are organized. I could have the willpower to work relentlessly toward making fundamental changes in my own and other lives. I could have a sense of destiny and an unusual karmic mission. With my Mercury trine Jupiter, writing on religious and philosophic subjects would be a natural in the Third, Sixth, and Ninth Houses. The Third House: Conscious thought. The Sixth House: After finding my self in my First House, hard work and detailed methodology brings into fruition that which is creatively envisioned in the Fifth House. The key to understanding the universe is learning to understand the atom-to understand the subtle forces of the microcosm, that which makes the outer manifestation possible. The Ninth House, and all the aspects of it reveals the individual's ability to tap the higher levels of inspiration , unfold wisdom, and develop a social consciousness.
There is much in our lives expressed in symbols. The 9-11 event was a symbol of calamity, the same for Jesus' crucifixion, and the same for my life, all followed by hope and renewal. What does this tell us? At the time of this writing, with Saturn in its worst aspect with Pluto, meaning “a widespread sense of epochal closure: ‘the end of an era,' ‘the end of innocence,' the destruction of an earlier mode of life that in retrospect may seem to have been marked by widespread indulgence, decadence, naivete, denial, and inflation.” This says Richard Tarnas in Cosmos and Psyche.
You can guess that I would hold it very important at this scary time to understand the real meaning of progressive, as distinguished from political progressive. Progressed Charts are used to better understand what motivates one to want to create major life changes. “The Dispensations are distinguished, exhibiting the majestic, progressive order of the divine dealings of God with humanity, ‘the increasing purpose' which runs through and links together the ages, from the beginning of the life of man to the end in eternity. Augustine said: ‘Distinguish the ages, and the Scriptures harmonize.” Rev. C.I. Scofield wrote this in the Introduction of The Scofield Reference Bible.
An examination of my astrological chart has amazed me. There are too many coincidences to be called coincidence. My examination further finds that I did not for the first 49 years of my life adhere to the positive aspects in my chart, by reason that my ruling planet, Uranus, was opposed to Mars when I was born. I was one of the victims of circumstances blaming my bad luck on other people. By the time I was in my 40s, Uranus had transited to a position opposite its position when I was born. I would be under pressure to change. And change I did. When I was 49, with my business career on the rocks and my second wife divorcing me, this God-self departed from my old life. I went to sea on a small boat. There was nothing but the sea, the heavens, and me. At the same time, a tiny speck, I was the only living entity in the scene. I learned the power that existed in me. The inexplicable occurred during my time at sea.
Wouldst thou know the secret of the sea?
Only those who brave its dangers,
Comprehend its mystery.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Speaking to the political progressive, biologist Julian Huxley, in his essay, The Future of Man, explains our increasing purpose with ,”Man's exploration and control of external nature has outdone his exploration and control of his own nature.” Man does not live by bread alone. Look within for your answers. You can see from my chart that any notion that we are mechanical men, and that we can be taught to jump through authority's hoops, would set me off. Put in office by political progressives, President Obama fiddles while Rome burns.
Speaking of symbols, President Obama's Mercury was in Cancer when he was born. Symbolically, this means he would see the world through the eyes of an emotionally sensitive cosmic nurturer, that of a mother with unconditional love. Paying close attention to his emotional love of all, if what he sees doesn't match his emotions, he looks the other way, for instance, away from the plummeting stock market. Because of his highly developed empathy for the underdog, Obama is often times contradictory. He would confuse help for the needy with control. He would keep us tied to the status quo as long as possible, stop us from crossing the threshold to our future.
This Aquarian Rising was born with my Mercury in Virgo. Symbolically-archetypically-this means I would see the world through the eyes of an organizer. I would desire high standards of ethics and morality through reason, logic, and methodical analysis. I would be for the rule of law and ordered liberty. I would be exacting and seek to bring coherence to the world. According to my astrology, in the future, When the moon is in the Seventh House, And Jupiter aligns with Mars, Then peace will guide the planets-you and I, with God's help, not the stars, not the authorities.
When I was born my moon was in Virgo. We read in Meenakshi's post in “The Power of Light:” “The soulful, peacemaking Pisces Sun opposes the scientific, nature-based healing Virgo Moon… Virgo understands the oneness of all life through the physical realities of cosmology, mathematics and physics. In Virgo's world, holiness is achieved through transcendent embodiment, and from this state of embodied awareness one can heal almost any malady… Virgo understands the oneness of all life through the physical realities of cosmology, mathematics and physics.”
Obama and the Democratic Party are clearly America's socialist party. The Republicans have lost their identity as conservatives. The effect is a badly weakened America. The “soulful, peacemaking Pisces” is a sensitive sign and those born under it are extremely responsive to the thoughts and feelings of others. They unconsciously absorb the ideas and mental outlook of those around them. They desperately want to do the right thing, but as a rule they do not have strong willpower. They are easily influenced by external factors. We're leaving the Age of Pisces, moving into the Age of Aquarius. Aquarius is the sign of the future and the water bearer, reflecting the idealism of the new life the future promises. Don't expect an Aquarian to follow the crowd. They are individuals who like to do their own thing and they enjoy being different. Aquarians take pride in their intellectual independence. They can be liberal and progressive in thought, and yet still fixed in their opinion. However, they are fair judges of different opinions because they don't let emotions get in their way.”
Clinging to the past, Obama says the enormous increase in debt, by the way furthering socialism, is really to avoid the mistakes made that caused the Great Depression of the 1930s-and, by the way building the American people's anger. The effect of socialist Obama, the emotionally sensitive cosmic nurturer, that of a mother with unconditional love on Alla's warriors is that of a weakling leading a weak nation. His tossing of olive branches to Islam's hierarchy only hastens the prophetic Battle of Armageddon.
The current situation is a reflection of heavenly movements. In September, 1925, the month and year of my birth, Werner Heisenberg, Hitler's atom bomb builder, published his uncertainty principle, the forerunner of quantum mechanics and the discovery of nuclear fission, which would ultimately end World War II with the dropping of the atom bomb on Japan. At the time, I was on the high seas heading for the invasion of Japan. I came as a messenger.
Quantum mechanics brought us Bell's theorem and irrefutable proof that there are other dimensions than the space-time dimension. There is a dimension of infinite possibility. What we observe becomes our reality. Everything that goes around does not necessarily come around. We have no idea of the power we possess.
Symbols have led the world's greatest prophets to their predictions of the future. The Aquarian values his independence more than anything; that is, his “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,” as written in declaration in Congress and published on July 4, 1776. It was signed by the representatives of the United States of America. They signed their death warrant. If England's King George could have gotten his hands on them they would have been hung. America was born this day, Aquarian in nature, and “to assume among the Powers of Earth, the separate and equal Station to which the Laws of Nature and Nature's God entitle them,” not only to “a decent respect to the opinions of mankind,” to respect of the opinions of the individual, because “We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights.”
We're immersed in the infinite scheme of the universe: inseparable. Something happens out there; it happens at the same instant here. It has nothing whatever to do with the time-space consortium. There is only one grand play. Events are mutually reflective. It is proven in Bell's theorem. We see by our five senses; quantum physics sees it mathematically. There is a “nonlocal” force, above the local forces of gravity and electromagnetism. After reading my profile, you should be able to understand that finding out who we are and our purpose in being starts when we come to grips with our problems. Saturn rules the laws and limitations of our material world. Saturn is called the learning planet because we learn from our mistakes. The opposite of Saturn, Uranus rules our insights. As you see in my profile, I'm the product of many influences, all striving for harmony. Our insight comes into play. If this is so, that must be so. The Higher Law involves the forces of harmony and symmetry with which we're natively linked. Now that I'm retired, I get a lot of pleasure in playing my keyboard and guitar. When we're in tune, those notes of discord fade away. Music helps us be the person we were meant to be.
“I'm connected.” I'm the peacemaker. The signs say that for the next four years there will be great division and economic hard times. Socialism is a natural loser. The Obama Administration is clinging to the past authoritarian age, which began with the crucifixion of Christ. We have a new image of what it means to be a human being, how to think of ourselves as growing, evaluating, understanding, that we can connect with our God-self energy.
The emotional issue we face now is pointed out by my Moon sign-how this feels as I go through life-archetypically-how I naturally uplift people. My mission is to bring into consciousness the reactions and determine whether or not the reaction is mature or immature-so we can step back and look at our higher self, when need becomes strength.
An Aquarian, a different kind of individual, is one who does not compromise his principles, one who marches to the beat of a different drummer, one who is inventive, who discovers new methods and shows the rest of humanity the way. Are you the chance-taker who knows where the fruit grows? Are you the kind willing to stand up and be counted? The Age of Aquarius, an age of quantum uncertainty, with its dimension of infinite possibility, it is all up to you.
