For so many decades, USA astrologers have rallied around one radix for the beginning of the "United States of America," known as the Sibly Chart (often misspelled as the Sibley Chart). Much has been conjured up about this particular radix - so much so that it has taken on a life of its own, used … Continue reading On The Exaltation of Mars – Chapter 9 – The “Sibly Chart” Decoded
Wow, we're really at the seventh installment of this suicidal series, so thanks for sticking with me. In previous parts, I detailed how the State of Israel was timed to fit within many historical and pseudo-historical events, and how modern Zionism finds its roots with the Knights Templars, and has projected power through the USA, … Continue reading Ed Kohout and the Third Rail of Astro-Politics: Zionism and Astrology, Part VII
In Parts I thru III of this illustrious series, I put forth the case that "Zionism" is a quest that goes back to the era of the Crusades, and that the vaunted Knights Templars were the original legion of Zionists. It was they who reclaimed Al-Aqsa, beginning in 1119, by restoring the compound, enhancing it … Continue reading Ed Kohout and the Third Rail of Astro-Politics: Zionism and Astrology, Part IV

Every visible planet, from our earthly vantage point, spends some time so close to the Sun that it cannot be seen. The Sun's aura extends some 17° away from the center of the Sun due to atmospheric refraction. That aura weakens the further away from the center, as can be seen if one watches the … Continue reading On the Exaltation of Mars – Chapter 4.6 – Venus and the Star of Bethlehem
In chapter 4.3 we learned that the year of Rosslyn's dedication as a Collegiate Church of St. Matthew - 1450 - contains the fourth Mavortial Return of a SuperMars that occurred in the year 3 BC. We also learned that 3 BC is the year some scholars have honed in on as containing the birth … Continue reading On the Exaltation of Mars – Chapter 4.5 – The Magi and the Star of Bethlehem
Many years ago, when Jeff Nisbet published his thesis on the encoding of the earth's axial tilt of 23.5°, we had vigorously discussed the enigmas of Rosslyn Chapel's ceiling. He had been studying Scotland's ancient mysteries for decades, and I hadn't. But, that never stopped me from throwing ideas at the wall to see what … Continue reading On the Exaltation of Mars – Chapter 4-Supplemental – Celestial Tilt of 23.5° encoded in Rosslyn Chapel’s Ceiling
