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 →

On the Exaltation of Mars – Chapter 4.6 – Venus and the Star of Bethlehem

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 →

On the Exaltation of Mars – Chapter 4.5 – The Magi and the Star of Bethlehem

On the Exaltation of Mars – Chapter 4-Supplemental – Celestial Tilt of 23.5° encoded in Rosslyn Chapel’s Ceiling

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 →

On the Exaltation of Mars – Chapter 4.4 – A Dove or a Swan, Plus the Astonishing Star

In chapter 4.3 I put forth the thesis that a SuperMars cycle is encoded in Rosslyn Chapel, through the date of its founding as a "Collegiate Church," dedicated to St. Matthew on his holy day of September 21, 1450, due to 1450 being a year with a very bright Mars, or SuperMars. Furthermore, the chapel's … Continue reading On the Exaltation of Mars – Chapter 4.4 – A Dove or a Swan, Plus the Astonishing Star →

On the Exaltation of Mars – Chapter 4.3 – The Starry Vault and the SuperMars

Photo source unknown. I don't want to go through a large explanation of "what is Rosslyn Chapel," though a brief synopsis of the chapel's history can be found here. It was originally intended to be a private chapel for the wealthy Sinclair, or St. Clair clan, and not open to the public, though surely plenty … Continue reading On the Exaltation of Mars – Chapter 4.3 – The Starry Vault and the SuperMars →
