The enigmatic Rosslyn Chapel in Edinburgh, Scotland, has attracted untold hordes of alternative history sleuths over the years, searching for treasure and the Holy Grail.

Having established in the first chapter that the Vatican may be observant of a special astronomical alignment that connects stars in Capricorn/Aquarius and Cygnus, it's time to take a closer look at the constellation that zeniths over the northern Mediterranean regions. It is not enough to simply notice that a constellation exists, and what shape … Continue reading On the Exaltation of Mars – Chapter 2.1 – Swan Diving and Cross-Planting
Thus far, this book has established that Mars's exaltation was marked in the zodiac in ancient times by two fixed stars: Deneb Algedi in Capricorn, and Sadalsuud in Aquarius. Although these stars are in two different constellations, they are "conjunct" in ecliptic latitude, presenting a unique situation in the zodiac where two constellations overlap by … Continue reading On the Exaltation of Mars – Chapter 2.2 – The 15 Behenian Stars of Alchemy
On October 13 of 2015, the world changed. Well, the world of astronomy, at least.

There is no record of his date of birth, though it was thought that it … Continue reading Was William Shakespeare a Taurus, or was a Taurus Shakespeare?
... something I wrote 20 years ago that compared the USA's official date of Earth Day to the Paschal computus ...

Why the Earth gets only one day instead of all … Continue reading Earth Day, Easter and the Exaltations of the Luminaries
The enigma of planetary "exaltations" in astrology has been a focus of mine for many years. In that time, I have compiled a vast collection of data - enough to fill a sizeable book. After cogitating on the subject, it is now time to coalesce everything in a (hopefully) organized manner. My aim is to … Continue reading On the Exaltation of Mars – an introduction

He announced that he would step down officially … Continue reading On the Exaltation of Mars – Chapter 1.2 – The Pope Emeritus and the Jesuit from Argentina
The morning of February 11, 2013 started off as typically quiet and “normal” for most of the world, but it was about to reverberate in both shock and disbelief for billions of Christians: Pope Benedict XVI, the Vicar of Christ, heir to the See of St. Peter, and head of the Vatican State, announced his … Continue reading On the Exaltation of Mars – Chapter 1.1 – The Pope Resigns
