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 →

Astrological Elements of the Tarot (no, not what you’ve read before) – Part IV

Astrological Elements of the Tarot (no, not what you’ve read before) – Part IV

When I finally got around to studying and dissecting the tarot years ago, I thought it would be somewhat simple. As an astrolo-phile, it was necessary to understand it, not because I wanted to do tarot readings at the local bazaar, but because the occult-minded mentors I knew used the tarot as a sort of … Continue reading Astrological Elements of the Tarot (no, not what you’ve read before) – Part IV →

On The Exaltation of Mars – Chapter 9 – The “Sibly Chart” Decoded

On The Exaltation of Mars – Chapter 9 – The “Sibly Chart” Decoded

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 →

Ed Kohout and the Third Rail of Astro-Politics: Zionism and Astrology, Part VII

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 →
