Does the Washington National Cathedral Encode the Horoscope of Jesus? “Gold Is Where You Find It”

Does the Washington National Cathedral Encode the Horoscope of Jesus? “Gold Is Where You Find It”

I want to make one thing clear: I'm not a believer in anything. That includes Jesus. I'm pretty sure the whole deal with that guy was made up just to sell Roman gym memberships to Judeans. 😉 But, since the obsession with that most successful myth of all time is real, it deserves our attention … Continue reading Does the Washington National Cathedral Encode the Horoscope of Jesus? “Gold Is Where You Find It” →

Does the Washington National Cathedral Encode the Horoscope of Jesus? Mars Addendum

Does the Washington National Cathedral Encode the Horoscope of Jesus? Mars Addendum

Last week, I laid out a case for the Washington National Cathedral's foundation stone setting as a Sun-Jupiter return of the hypothetical birth of Jesus on September 26 of 3 BC. That hypothetical horoscope is based on a plethora of assumptions, one being that Jupiter was very close to the fixed star Regulus - the … Continue reading Does the Washington National Cathedral Encode the Horoscope of Jesus?

The Exaltation of the Washington National Cathedral

The Exaltation of the Washington National Cathedral

In light of the very dark reaction by the alleged patriotic and God-fearing christian nationalist MAGA movement that has been making death threats against the Episcopal Bishop of Washington, DC, Mariann Edgar Budde, I wanted to lay out my take on the astrological encoding of the locale in question - the Washington National Cathedral. The … Continue reading The Exaltation of the Washington National Cathedral →

2001: A Space Odyssey – it’s not a B Movie, but it is a Dee Movie, Part I

2001: A Space Odyssey – it’s not a B Movie, but it is a Dee Movie, Part I

One of the things that sucks about getting old is the realization that nothing much surprises or fascinates me anymore. Both genius and stupidity have been parsed down so much that, when it shows up as something claiming to be new, it quickly becomes a yawn. Been there, done that, ho hum. However, some art … Continue reading 2001: A Space Odyssey – it’s not a B Movie, but it is a Dee Movie, Part I →

On The Exaltation of Mars – Chapter 6.4 – The Moon’s Exaltation, the Pleiades, and All The Saints

On The Exaltation of Mars – Chapter 6.4 – The Moon’s Exaltation, the Pleiades, and All The Saints

We can't have Christmas Eve without having a Christmas, and we can't have Halloween - "All Hallows' Eve" - without an All Saints' Day. Much ink has been spilled on the historical claim that Halloween and All Hallows' were a Vatican plot to subjugate and subvert the Celtic cross-quarter observance of the beginning of "winter" … Continue reading On The Exaltation of Mars – Chapter 6.4 – The Moon’s Exaltation, the Pleiades, and All The Saints →

On The Exaltation of Mars – Chapter 7.2 – Opus Dei and the Knights – Part II

On The Exaltation of Mars – Chapter 7.2 – Opus Dei and the Knights – Part II

In Part I, I explored the parameters of Opus Dei's central symbol. I did so not for abstract means, but because it is the best place to start in a very serious unpacking of the astrological efforts of the Vatican and Opus Dei. Yes, they were doing astrology, and the following delineation will show this … Continue reading On The Exaltation of Mars – Chapter 7.2 – Opus Dei and the Knights – Part II →

On The Exaltation of Mars – Chapter 7.1 – Opus Dei and the Knights – Part I

On The Exaltation of Mars – Chapter 7.1 – Opus Dei and the Knights – Part I

Thanks again go to the matriarch of mundane astrology, Judith Cowell, who prodded me into looking at the now-infamous Opus Dei "lay and clerical organization." As it happens, the temporal signatures of the group swan-dive (pun intended) nicely into my thesis in On The Exaltation of Mars. Some very juicy astrology awaits us, but first, … Continue reading On The Exaltation of Mars – Chapter 7.1 – Opus Dei and the Knights – Part I →
