Five Christmas story elements that don’t appear in the Bible, from the little donkey to the inn keeper

 https://theconversation.com/five-christmas-story-elements-that-dont-appear-in-the-bible-from-the-little-donkey-to-the-inn-keeper-24605

Start looking for the answers in the night sky, it’s astrology pure and simple. The manger, the donkey, the cradle are all astronomical and astrological. It’s all mapped out and predates Jesus by thousands of years. The birth of Jesus is no different to other mythological and historical figures, and the narrative is repeated all around the world in many cultures. 

The Beehive is also another name for the Manger which is connected to ancient Egypt is also in the night sky, it’s also the name for the New Zealand parliament building. 

The donkey in the biblical stories is also astrological, sitting in the constellation of Cancer. It’s called Asellus Borealis which is next to Asellus Australis, both are known as the donkeys.

A guide to constellations, you will see a few things from the bible in this but not all of them, though it doesn't mention the crown of thorns by name it is actually the Corona Borealis

A little bit more information about the Corona Borealis. ⬇️

https://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Gazetteer/Topics/astronomy/_Texts/secondary/ALLSTA/Corona_Borealis*.html

You will notice the mention of three Mary's in the Wikipedia page about the Belt of Orion The bible also mentions three Mary's. Jesus’s mother was a Mary as was one of his sisters, however that sister is the Mary Magdalene, and there is either a double up of her or a deliberate obfuscation of her role and identity. Not all researchers agree on this though. Jesus was an actual king historically speaking and Mary Magdalen ( Mary of the Towers more interesting connections with her in Europe including being alluded to in the fairy tale Rapunzel )  was his sister wife.  The Jesus family had connections to ancient Iran, Parthea according to the writer Ralph Ellis, who has written extensively on the history of Jesus and his family bloodline. The books are available on Amazon. Raplh Ellis also informs us about Jesus being an Astrologer as well as a high ranking Freemason. 

I am finding myself drawn to  study this along with my astrology studies. It's a lot of fun when you delve into this and it's great to learn new things and it is so much better than sitting in front of the tv for me.

I am the sort of person that could happily divide my time between nature and a library and I just love to share information with likeminded people.  As I come across more information I will update this and perhaps you may be curious about the amazing information. The power of the age of Aquarius is unfolding as we live and breathe and this is written in the stars. 

 

Lunar calendar 2024

You may want to look at this amazing lunar calendar website, I assume it will be updated to cover 2025 as we draw closer to the end of this year. 

Astrology: Lunar calendar for checking when to have your hair cut

 https://moonhoroscope.com/canberra/lunar-calendar-haircuts/october/from_14-21_october

Ever wondered when is the best time to get your hair cut? This is to do with energy and how the moon affects your hair and body. This is similar to when is the safest time having surgery or the days that are detrimental. Each year we need to know the exact dates each month; for different procedures, situations or events in our lives to work out which ones are favourable or not. This is a handy tool for checking out the best days versus the worst days. 

You need to set the calendar (which is at the top on the right hand side of the screen) for where you live in the world. Lunar calendars are important for knowing when to have surgery and when to delay the process. This health aspect must be taken seriously as it does affect everyone on earth, the moon plays a crucial role in our lives and we need to understand its influence on our bodies and minds. 

You can come out now, Mercury retrograde is ending

 

Well Retrograde ended officially on the 28th of August, but there can be three days of residual energy when a planet ends its retrograde cycle as it goes direct. So, it’s wise err on the side of caution. There was a classic example of this on the weekend, when my online shopping order that was due to be delivered last Saturday afternoon was canceled. The delivery truck broke down; which is a classic Mercury Retrograde effect. Mechanical breakdowns, electrical issues, communication issues, yada yada yada. 🤣😂🤣 

Mercury Retrograde is the astrological equivalent of…

                                  Mercury retrograde is the astrological equivalent of PMS. 

                                                            5 August to 28 August

                                             

The Goddess Nike on your hot cross buns and clothing

 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nike_(mythology)

Think of the sports brand Nike when you see that famous tick that we use to mark something as correct, mythology and symbology are very much  strong influences in our world and always will play a role as do the colours used in symbolism and advertising.  Having a powerful effect on our psyche with its own form of branding,  as does religion and astrology influence us on often subtle hidden ways. Nike was the goddess of victory in Greek Mythology . The Nike tick is symbolic of the wings of Nike as in swift victory. She represents victory in music, athletics and military competitions. So this is suggesting a bit of competition for the old Hot Cross Bun in the news article below.  

https://www.news.com.au/travel/travel-ideas/food-drink/supermarkers-risky-hot-cross-bun-move/news-story/a99ed45d4c05f59880c31d0710f2f042 

Basically it's just swapping one myth for another in this news article. The change over from the age of Aries to the age of Pisces symbolically known as a Fish for Christianity, and the cross also represents the earth if you have a circle around it. The cross also represents the four cardinal points; but it also represents spirit becoming physical in mass and matter  metaphysically. As in when a human being comes into being in our world.  The Lamb of Christ /Ram is Aries, the lords are the zodiac houses and the procession of the zodiac which runs anti clockwise in approximately 2000 year cycles. If you go back before the age of the Ram/Lamb it was the worshiping of the Bull as in Taurus.  

We are now leaving the age of Pisces (the 12th house  ruled by Neptune and the sign of Pisces). The 12 house which rules, spirituality, psychic abilities, illusion, deception, seclusion or what is hidden. healing, the subconscious mind, hidden enemies and hidden agendas. It is the last of three houses of endings and is ruled by the element of water. 

The ruling planet Neptune governs All maritime matters, liquids of all kinds, music, movies, the stage, television, glamour, dreams, illusion, delusions, spirituality, ideals, mystical and mysterious, hunches, all things that we take for granted in life without questioning, Neptune also governs fog (water which  comes in three forms, liquid, vapour and ice. Then there is anaesthetics, flattery, the intangible, fragrances, second sight, the love of poetry, colour, and dancing/movement. Drugs, alcohol, addiction, hypochondria, sleep walking, hypnosis, the immaterial and abnormalities. Neptune’s actions are subtle, gradual and sometimes insidious. It is the higher octave of Venus, and the second of the three transcendental planets.

Where you find Neptune is where you deceive yourself and others, it is also where you seek the ideal.

Note: this information comes from the book, The only way to learn astrology (vol 1) by Joan McEvers and Marion March. 

We then move into the age of Aquarius, which is a contested area because most people either don’t agree or actually know when the age of Aquarius actually starts. According to some scholars the new age begins around the 2050’s or else much later in 2100’s.  Studying Astrology, which pointed to it being underway since the 20th century and covers 2100AD to 2800 AD. That's quite a tricky thing but in reading the article it may be something to take into consideration. Nobody can fully predict the  beginning and ending of the age of Aquarius, however the energy can be felt in subtle ways with human behaviour.  

The 11th house of the zodiac is ruled by the cardinal sign of Aquarius and the planet Uranus. Breaking this into what it governs is as follows. The 11th house itself governs, the love you receive from others, goals, hopes and dreams, circumstances beyond your control, friends. Money obtained via your occupation, 

The glyph for Aquarius is two wavy lines like water waves or electrical waves. Aquarius rules science, technology, inventions, it’s humanitarian, progressive, logical and futuristic. It is egotistical and utopian, bohemian  eccentric, intellectual, humanitarian. 

Uranus its ruling planet represents the freedom urge also known as the great discontent. and its key word is the awakener. Uranus rules, inventions, originality, science, magic, the occult, light, law, astrology, psychology, insight into nature's laws, sudden change, revolution, dictators, individualism, ingenuity, rebellion and autonomy. Uranus is a breaker of tradition, its gender neutral and sexless.

Uranus is also renowned for its connection to earthquakes and natural disasters.

Where you find Uranus is where you tend to do the unusual. So this as we can see will usher in a totally different world from what we know. We are already in a totally different world to our grandparents and great-grandparents. So that little tick is a nod that things will change whether people like it or not. Testing the public reaction like an experiment to see the reaction. 

Tarot Card of the Month: February 2024: The Fool

 

 

                                                             Planet: Uranus   Element: Air

                                                            Zodiac sign: Pisces  Number: 0

                                     Wholeness, New Beginings, Creation, Birth, Innocence, Naievity,

As I look at this card for February 2024 so much is happening in the world. It is frightening for millions of people right now and is only going to get worse, as I have been warning for a while now. I wish it wasn't this way but I, just like the rest of us ordinary people I am powerless to do anything other than pray for an end to all of this evil. My heart goes out to  every single suffering soul in our world.

As I look at the sun in this bright and jolly card I see male energy which the sun represents.  This male energy is active and dominant, its light reveals everything clearly. The energy is being brought from the spiritual in to the physical realm or from thought into action. This is a bit like the cardinal sign Aries in Astrology which is active and dynamic energy.

The youth holding his swag acts like a lightining rod as the sun's energy travels down the stick holding his swag or bag. The bag/swag holds his worldly goods, be that tools, wisdom learned, memories or burdens. The youth is anchoring this energy as he ambles along in his aparent naivety. 

The 0 at the top of the card is like an egg to be fertilised to bring forth a new begining like an egg hatching. A new cycle has begun already, we are in to the second month of the year where sudden changes are already upon us. (Uranus, sudden change that is often sudden and violent) In  his blissfully unaware state the youth is walking into the clear and apparent dangers that lie just one foot step away.

His eyes are closed, as a metaphor for being in a state of worldly ignorance and naivety.This is telling me about humanity is in a state of true spiritual ignorance  and the dangers that we collectivley face right now in the physical world. The youth is positioned dangerously close to the edge of the cliff and the little dog barks a warning to him to open his eyes to see what is right in front of him and the clear and present danger he faces in his next step. 

The dog is generally seen as man's best freind and very loyal, but it can also be seen as something hounding him relentlessly. If only the human being would awaken to the reality of the situation. 

Looking back at the card, I observe the divide implied by the bright golden yellow sky of spirituality and the barrier of sharp jagged mountains and the high cliff the youth is standing on. The human race are symbolised here with a massive divide both in being cut off from pure spirit and higher aspirations in spiritual attainment. Pride and ignorance (a state of being spiritually unaware) are contributing factors in this chasm of division which mirrors current world events. 

The cliff edge shows us we are reaching past the limits of risk taking. Yet no one heeds the warnings. This is also another fall from grace and spiritual devolution humanity faces. The rocks at the youth's feet symbolise stumbling blocks and obstacles that he needs to notice as do we all need to notice. 

You will notice the youth is facing the left which tells us he is past orientated or fixed on something in the past. Again this reminds us that the human race right now are still living in the past, in the way they are thinking and acting. Times are changing fast and we need to pay attention or we will be swept up in turmoil. 

The left is also seen as feminine and passive energy. It is receptive energy, backward functioning and holding or binding like an agreement or a contract. It is also a rather ominous and inauspicious. So to me this is telling me about something done some time in the past in  western nations. Think the lead up to the events of WW1 for  a start, however this goes back thousands of years really.  

The sharp divides in humanity right now are represented by the sharp rugged edges of the cliffs and the gulf between the yellow sky and the cliff top is in an almost 3D effect. The bright yellow can be viewed as pure source of spirit  and the cliff top as the physical world from a metaphysical understanding. 

So this young man is cut off from spirit in his physical state and consciousness as in the 3rd dimension as a human being's frequency drops dramatically in the dense layers of the earthly world.  The youth is inexperienced and naieve due to his youthful age as well as being cut off from the spirit world which would guide him on his journey through gnosis.

The youth, just like us, is unable to harness the spiritual energy and wisdom offered by enlightenment. Humanity collectively is in this position too from birthing in this world. The youth appears to be unable to pull himself back from the imminent danger before him. He is on the brink of either his demise or a great awakening.

Here I must direct the readers to the astrological information in this card. The zodiac sign is a water sign Pisces which rules the 12th house, the planet that rules this house is Neptune. This is a house of endings, limitations, frustrations, hidden strength and the sub conscious mind. Where water also represents the sub conscious mind. 

The planet for this card though is Uranus and this is the awakener and represents the freedom urge or divine discontent. Pay attention to Uranus because this planet is very important it goes in cycles of 84 years, and some of the meanings are Rebellion, egotistical and utopian, air-plains, it rules inventions, the sudden and unexpected, which is often violent, it is also gender neutral as in non binary. 

Importantly Uranus is the breaker of traditions, it rules electricity, science, magic, the occult, it's futuristic, humanitarian, intellectual and is where we find utopian dictators manifesting just like Stalin.

Neptune, I will add rules the spiritual and the escapist urge.  Some of it's rulings are, maritime matters, liquids, petroleum, mystery, drugs and drug addiction, alcohilism. It  also covers the things that we take for granted in life. Nothing in our lives should  ever be taken for granted though.  Neptune runs in a 165 year cycle.

Actually all planets from Jupiter onwards are long haul planetary cycles from Jupiter’s 12 year cycle, Saturn 28 to 30 years, Uranus 84 years, Neptune 165 years and Pluto's 248 year cycle. Which actually kicks in on 20 January in Aquarius. Pluto means trouble, when he shows up to a party, so expect trouble. He spends 12 to 13 years in each sign of the zodiac. So January 20th is when the party gets ugly in Aquarius. Destroying and reforming is his party treat. Fusion and transformation. Think of crime, corruption, subversion, nuclear power.

Pluto rules the underworld and that which is hidden, a rather unwelcome planet in some cases such as kidnappings, disappearances, coercion, anonymity. It rules viruses and bacteria. It governs the masses, just like it does with communism and unpopular causes. Pluto is the herpes of the planets! 

Births,  deaths, waste, the mind, with phobias, the subconscious mind and worlds submerged within us. 

Pluto among many other things represents, regeneration, degeneration and things developed in secret. Think about weapons, nuclear, biological and radiological. 

On a positive side it covers duplication like publishing and printing, all replication processes even cloning is duplication. Pluto is a generational planet its actions are slow,  deliberate and inevitable. A higher octave of Mars as it is the last of the three transcendental planets. So this is not a fun experience. 

Looking back at the card again, I am drawn to the belt around the youths waste, It reminds me of Elon Musk's star-link satellites but also the belt of Orion. Symbolically the belt divides the body, cutting the spiritual from the physical. It is restrictive in its function. 

This card tells me mass divisions are taking place in February and a dulling of the senses continues, we see a dulling or loss of true spirituality (not to be confused with the new age spirituality which is a man made gimmick). True spirituality is what is within us, in every cell of our bodies and our blood, our spiritual soul fires are very real and sacred and must be protected.

The rise in technologies that are vastly different to anything ever seen are now dawning and new medical advances are appearing from February onwards. However not all of these advances are good for humanity, and may get out of control. This is especially involving weapons, so deadly yet simple to use.

In the wrong hands they may get out of control, these weapons are so harsh and dangerous with long term harmful effects. I see hospitals will be in even more crisis in how to cope with mass casualties. I get 2025 connected to this. 

February (Pisces) is a major month connected to water again. Issues increasing such as warfare (Navy and Air force), shortages of water for many such as Gaza and Africa. Solid ground seems to be slipping away fast for some of us. By this I mean  permanency such a your home, things belonging to you such as your job, your belongings, lives, etc. 

The decent into madness and the drop in human consciousness is noted all around the world, but as I often point out Humanity is only programmed to go so far then we fall. This is an astrological and spiritual evolutionary thing. We eventually hit the bottom and hit the reset button, in a process that goes in cycles of thousands of years and always will. Currently nature's warnings' go unheeded by most people as we plunge again into the abyss.

As I look again at the card I am drawn to the left arm of the youth and I notice the shape under his arm is like a peninsula and a body of water. This is very important because it points out the ongoing situation presently in the Red Sea as military conflict escalates, this is only the beginning as things expand dragging the region into deeper conflict.

Notice the youth in the card is facing left, which is feminine energy which is passive and receptive energy.  So someone seeks to calm things down globally before things escalate beyond the point of no return. Sadly that point has been reached.  There is a definite air of  gullible naivety here, there is no mistaking it. I also want to point out a nation that is acting as if they are passive is anything but passive. This is a Middle Eastern nation , which I feel is Qatar. 

Keep your eyes on China, Iran and Pakistan, I don't feel China will interfere here. They are more likely to watch things play out as we all are. But China is choosing teams presently.

I  do not see the economic, social and cultural divides closing at all. More like they are widening, and we are now witnessing the escalation in the Middle East as more nations are dragged under the Devil's chariot. The absurdities of the UN are startling as all of this takes place. 

While the world is burning, the officials in the UN are shuffling papers, sipping tea and arranging appointments for meetings totally unphased in their luxury offices. They don't even check the metaphorical spam folders for an email warning them of war and destruction. Why would they? 

The Sun on the card brings me to Africa and the turmoil being ignored by the rich and powerful (UN, WEF, Human Rights organisations and the global military) and those that could step up and help end the suffering just don't seem to want to take appropriate action as usual. In the past 60 years that I have been on this Earth there has never been a permanent stabilising of Africa to lift the people up. No one wants to do anything to change lives for the better. Why? well it's all about the money and resources over human lives that's why. I don't see that ever changing because the rich and powerful would have to be in prison for that to happen.  

We have two elements here Fire and Water dominate this month, these elements are related to world events such as anything connected with water, Maritime transportation, Navy, conflict connected to water with the element of fire. Fire being male energy, anger, power and control over the seas (water). Water of course  comes in three forms ice, liquid and gas. The gas form being fog. 

We have the continuing of cold frigid conditions in the northern hemisphere and Africa with heat, but I feel there will be floods in an African nation. 

Travel by air (Uranus) by the public to conflict zones needs to be thought carefully about. Do you really need to go there? Please check on the internet for updates on travel to stay safe. It may well be your undoing if you don't factor in safety. 

As we expected there will be problems obtaining fresh fruit and vegetables and transporting products both in and out of conflict zones.This will escalate in the next few weeks and companies will have to do a risk assessment as to a contingency plan for trade. There will not be enough safe passage of goods because it may be way too difficult to patrol at present. That boosts the price of goods which will last for many years, we don't have the choice. Unfortunately more and more countries will be absorbed into this horrible conflict very soon. 

This is where China will eventually step up and over confident in their plans and abilities. Here is where the wild card strikes. I don't think it was factored in to the equation but should have been. A nation that was unexpected to take part in conflict suddenly throws its hat in the ring. I feel his could be Qatar or a small  Middle Eastern country (geographically it looks small) but it is wealthy. I would say either Qatar, UAE or Saudi Arabia. 

The solidifying of plans take place in February with world governments, especially the US, UK, France and even Australia has to be onboard with this. Australia doesn't have a choice really. This feels like big business securing trade, fuel etc and choosing sides. This will throw some European nations into chaos and they would rather not be involved. Memories of WW2 still haunt many in Europe understandably, as well as the communist era. Expect a further destabilising in Eastern Europe to continue. This is nations surrounding Ukraine.  

Boy things are just starting to heat up and we can see the fear, tensions and anger building. We ordinary people are not the problem.   It's the same old rich and powerful again as always then they have the arrogance to conscript ordinary people to fight a rich man's war. And then the people are left broken and ruined with heavy losses but never the elite. They don't do poverty they cause it. They don't do spirituality either they suppress it.

Take care of yourselves where ever you live in the world and pray for this madness to end.

Warm and fuzzy hugs to every one and all the animals

Has the mystery identity of the Cerne Abbas Giant been solved? Academics claim Dorset's 180ft chalk figure may depict Hercules - after centuries of debate over the landmark

 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12916121/academics-reveal-hercules-inspired-cerne-abbas-giant.html

The first thing that comes into my mind is an astrological point of reference. Just by clicking on the news article and seeing the picture. Having been reading metaphysical and mythological literature for 20 years I am very aware of the night sky and the mythological links.

To suggest Oliver Cromwell is utterly ridiculous how the hell can a mythology figure so ancient be connected to Cromwell of the 1600’s?  This is astrological and one needs to study the night sky map to see this and look at the names for each planet, constellation, star, asteroid, moons etc. The ancient scholars studied the night sky thousands of years ago and we are only now discovering how accurate they were thousands of years ago without modern technology to assist them. It was pure mathematics and observation of the night skies. Those astronomers were also astrologers too. These sciences were only separated due to the Catholic Church in modern human history, the 17th century in fact. Astrology is and always will be a science no matter what the Vatican says and does!

Human origins are said to be related to Orion, Sirius, the Dog Star; and the Dogon people of Africa know this from their mythology. The Dog Star or Sirius being very important in human history, mythology and astrology. And regardless of where on this planet you live, the night sky for astronomy and astrology has markers on the ground, such as Newgrange in Ireland, Stonehenge in England, the Giza pyramids aligned to the belt of Orion and Sirius. 

If you have a basic Planisphere (a double sided plastic disc showing both Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere), astrological software or astronomy software you can see the night sky mapped with the diagram of all the mythological creatures and the entire zodiac.  I have this software and I also put a link on my blog to download the Stellarium astronomy map of the night sky for anyone that’s interested. Astronomy is a good hobby to learn without doing the professional astronomer thing. 

There are many places around the world where the ancient people have mapped out the night sky and used it for astronomy as well as astrology for thousands of years. We nowadays have the luxury of technology that is incredibly precise down to seconds in the movement and the planets. These ancient people did it without technology, smart cookies huh. However astrology can warn us of events and how to deal with them as they arise. Hence the use of horary astrology that is favoured by world leaders since astrology was invented.

Happy reading and perhaps you may want to investigate this phenomenon yourself and get a real buzz out of it. It’s informative and very useful to navigate through life with this knowledge. 

Judgement of Mental Issues From Horoscopes by Anand Sagar Pathak

Very interesting article and something that is very important. Still some things may be preventable and also having a proper consultation with a very good astrologer will help direct the individual to the optimum life path. Having said that it is up to us the individual to be self empowered in taking care of their health and life.

 

Tarot card of the month: December 2023, 10 of Pentacles

 

This card is ruled by the planet Mercury and Virgo which are the rulers of the 6th house of the zodiac.

The element is earth.

Loss and separation, foundations upending, financial loss and disputes, family feud and restrictions are some of the reversed interpretation of this card. This card aligns with the 6th house of the zodiac governing work, the unconscious mind, health, habits, service given and small animals. The 6th house represents the social urge and affection . The key phrase is, I analyse.

Mercury represents communication in all aspects, reasoning ability, the intellectual urge, avenue of expression, it can be quick and volatile action, means of transport, travel, trade and emotional capacity to name a few things it covers.

Virgo is health and wellbeing related, it can be sterile practical, perfection seeking and industrious.

You will find hygiene connected to Virgo, germaphobic behaviour and such likes. 

This is the last tarot card of the month for 2023. There is a see saw effect happening in the card with how the pentacles are displayed. But the card does not have any fun attached to it. 

The world is in a state of transformation right now, I get the urge to use the word precipice though because we are balanced on the edge of a cliff right now. It’s 50/50 as I look at the card. Notice the old man looking at the young family or the new generation. Be that the new generation or younger leaders, or even society in general. The old man does not look happy as he watches them from his vantage point. They don’t see him or are unable to see him because he is in the shadows and the young family are in the clear daylight in the market place. 

The old man represents authority, a powerful authority hidden from public view. This is a social division and not about teamwork, one puppet master pulling the strings. I feel a sort of religious or fanatical ideology connected to this man, especially his mindset. This is a western man with silver hair (Schwab?) He wields a lot of power and influence and I do feel a link with the Vatican here. He seems to be closely linked to the Vatican in a very powerful way. I would call this man vengeful and there is nothing spiritual in his nature or personality. This man thrives on absolute power, he is not easy to stop once started on a mission or purpose. He has a frugal mindset, yet wealth beyond imagination. As he takes he never gives, this is not charity it greed and a hunger for power he has an insatiable hunger for power. He is given orders by other higher powers yet he sees these higher powers as inferior to himself. He only recognises his authority and is only a team player when it suits him. Humanity are not on his team! 

I feel harvesting of money and power happening, at present it is in its early stages and will build up over 2024/25. Many people will be alarmed by this yet feel afraid to speak out due to fears of persecution from peers in western society which has become gagged. People no longer feel safe to speak their minds individually now in the west. As I look at the card I get the feeling of the public being spied on.

This is by non government powers, these are people that are not elected by the people in the west. This is hidden NGO’s who are openly hostile to people being happy. There is a feeling of the public must be made to comply and obey these faceless unelected NGO’s . After all the leaders of the western countries obey these NGO’s. The western leaders do not carry out the wishes of the citizens that voted for them.

December is shaping up to b a month of mystery and hidden knowledge. Behind our back’s plans are being formulated to strip the west of power, wealth, sovereignty and form a different type of partnership.

This partnership will have long lasting consequences and pushing us closer to war, poverty and suffering. It has nothing to do with being fair and humane, it’s quite the opposite. 

I see protests countered by more climate change activists, protesting as a distraction. 

But under the surface something is about to explode in various regions. Eventually this will get out of hand as some of these conflicts will join hands so to speak, forming dangerous partnerships.

The ranks will be strong and western leaders will start to see they have backed the wrong horse in the Asian-Middle Eastern stakes. Well may be they should have listened to their astrologers more often because it has been pointed out to these leaders. But these leaders are rather selective in taking advice. This is wilful arrogance on their part, warnings are always given! Yes, of course leaders use astrologers they always have done. 

Now food affordability and financial struggles are biting in for many people and charities will be struggling to keep up with demands on top of new arrivals to the shores of host nations. Just watch the tensions rise yet again. The homeless are now too big a problem to deal with so governments throw their hands up in the air because they don’t have a solution. REALLY?? 

Talk about defeated nations, it’s a fait accomple guys! You lost.

The worm has turned and shows its true purpose. The youth of the world are highlighted from here on in. Are they ready for dramatic change? I get the feeling of young people being under instruction (trained) to act on demand, as in protesting. Here are the young people who are trained to reject their parents, grandparents and great grandparents generation. What they don’t see is their own  manipulation going on against them. Be it spiritual, political, financial or familial.This is communism in disguise and the task of the young generation is to accept communism with open arms without any understanding of what taking shape despite the warnings given from older people that have witnessed this up close and personal. 

Well the lives of these young people will be turned upside down, war in their lives and only after this will they think, OMG, what have we done. Sadly it’s too late to turn back the clock.

The breakdown and rebuilding energy has been released into this world and the world is currently in the crash and burn phase to reform via trauma into a new world. Not the sort that we want or need. The light is going out, to bring in a dimmer light,  but not entirely out of humanities making. Astrological phenomena have always played a major role in the fate of humanity. It is up to us to learn to read the warnings and try to circumvent them in a positive way.

Warm and fuzzy hugs to everyone 

Tarot Card of the Month: November 2023, Page of Cups

 

This card of the month is a little different from the other ones because I am taking an astrolgical tilt this time.

Notice the little fishy in the cup, he represents the zodiac sign of Pisces which is ruled by the planet Neptune and this rules the 12 house of the zodiac.

The key word is understanding  The key phrase is I believe

Positive interpretations include, Compassionate, Sacrificing, Charitable and Sympathetic 

Negative interpretations include, Procrastinating, Timid, Impracticle, Pessimism and Inhibited

I have narrowed down the possible interpretations to suit the month of November.

Neptune is the rulling planet of Pisces and the 12th House. It represents Spirituality and the freedom urge.

The key word is intuition 

Neptune is the ruler of Maritime matters, liquid, fog, petroleum and mystery

The 12th house of the zodiac rules limitations, frustrations, hidden strength and the subconscious mind, it is also a house of the three houses of endings. The other two being the 4th house and the 8th house. 

Ok, now focusing on the Page of Cups, I notice the Page's eyes fixed on the little fishy in the cup and not the cup itself. In the background we see the water (Neptune) which is human consciousness and emotions which align to the heart chakra.

The Page has puffed sleeves giving the impression of being muscular and strong, of course he isn't. He is not what he pretends to be. He actually believes his own imagination or delusions. The Page is ruled by his emotions rather than his intellect and may not see the big picture as a result of this.

This card reminds us to face reality in November and stop being so gullible and naieve. This message should be taken onboard by young people in particular but includes everyone. Younger people do not have the advantage of years of experience nor the wisdom of older people that have lived through all sorts of things in this world. Information that is presented to the world currently in  different subjects or issues  may well be clouded by deceptions, illusions, incomplete information and fantasy, so be warned.

The time is over for silly games and jumping straight into something without knowing all the important and relevant information; including the history of the issues and real facts. 

Prudence and listening to older and wiser people who know their subject matter is advised or it may cost you dearly. Now this is also a warning about money or financial matters such as get rich quick schemes. When in doubt, stop, wait and watch. Then you will learn and save yourself some heartache. 

Be very careful if traveling in November, check the news regularly on travel destinations including flight delays or hold ups, cancellations, safety and security issues etc. Get travel insurance that covers activites you may be doing and that covers the destination that you are going to. You never know when an accident may happen also be careful around water in particular such as Jet-skies or any water activities. Medical bills are exorbidant so think wisely please. Just think worst case senarios when traveling and taking out travel insurance because it is better to be safe than sorry.

Travel by air restrictions are possible so please be wise and check on your travel dietination right up to departure time, both coming and going. Drug use is in the news so be warned and avoid drugs if going overseas because you may well be locked up in the "Bangkok Hilton" or similar. Act in haste and repent at leisure, so heed the warning. 

There are new rules in regards to the above matters so get online and read up on the laws and keep safe. Pay attention to matters involving water in general everyone, the sea and oceans in particular. I have a feeling of forboading with water. Refugees and the military  are connected to issues involving water.

 There is a risk of unnecessary deaths (drownings). Fog may be a factor in some cases including a disaster involving the seas, oceans and travelling such as refugees traveling by boats involving illegal entry into Europe and the UK. This is a dangerous time of year to do such a thing due to the weather in November onwards. Coastal areas are a high risk and are often foggy reducing visibility. Flooding is another thing to watch out for and anything connected to water. Hopefully not your hot water tank leaking in your house or your washing machine over flowing etc. 

Petrol is back in the news again and the North Sea gas is another possible issue, gas being the new gold and also sabotage of gas pipes like what has already been in the news.

Points to remember are; a reality check on all forms of communication, don't fall for everything you hear or read. Please keep your emotions under control, I know it is very difficult right now but a cool calm mind can help us see the realities around us and not act hastily. We don't want to be draged into something that we cannot get out of. 

Please stay safe where ever you live and warm and fuzzy hugs

Astrology is not 100% accurate in certain areas

 As I am studying astrology I am quite aware that this amazing subject has extremely important values and I do believe in it. The science though is not such that it can explain all things in your life clearly or the right way around. Having read some interpretations of my astrological report on Astrodinst which is a fantastic website by the way, I noticed a couple of thing in interpreting my childhood it was completely round the wrong way. 

However before reading this part of my birth chart, I came across information in the course of my studies, in the series of astrology books by Marion March and Joan McEvers where the authors point out things such as, you cannot predict someone’s death. That can only be picked up after the fact. Also little things in your personality that you yourself are aware of or certain things that happened to you can not always be reflected in your astrology chart. The person interpreting the chart for instance may not pick up the reasons for you being upset such as in my case. 

The read out said that I wanted my mother to be complex, subtle and unfathomable. Hell no, I  actually wanted her to be open, approachable and not terrorise me and psychologically abuse me. Big difference between the delineation of my chart and reality. This is where I would look at the chart differently and perhaps say that either situation could have happened. Intuition also plays a role in astrology, which is pointed out in the study books. One must feel the energy of the individual which  is quite difficult to do especially when you are only learning the science of astrology. 

I had someone do an astrology report on me many years ago and I was offended by the opening remarks. I thought wow, how the heck can you make such an assumption. I would be rather cautious in my wording of an astrology report. This person had only met me socially once or twice but I can definitely see where some astrologers need to choose words very carefully lest they get something wrong and cause the client offence and upset. 

I as a Tarot reader always choose my words carefully and never do I go into personality traits that the person may be embarrassed about. I have a strong sense of duty of care and I hope that I will always be mindful of wording anything for my clients. A person knows their own personality within themselves whether they care to disclose to a psychic or an astrologer. A highly attuned psychic person knows either by picking up the vibes from the client or as they open the tarot deck to read the client. 

A little lesson in this for me to keep in mind if I decide to use this skill publicly in the future. Mindful use of words, words can be easily misused and this is something that I always keep in mind as a Libran. 

Warm and fuzzy hugs peeps 🤗🧸

Chiron in the 12th House of Astrology: Healing Your Subconscious

 https://wisdomtavern.com/chiron-in-twelfth-house/?expand_article=1

I came across this amazing website by googling Chiron in the 12th House, because I have Chiron in my 12th house. I found this a very interesting article and sure enough I am a natural born spiritual healer as is my father. And as you can see from my blog posts I am an empath. I do set strong boundaries nowadays but in the past I have been taken advantage of way too many times. These days I’m am not prepared to tolerate this behaviour and will set the boundaries pretty high. 

It is foolish to have weak or non existent boundaries because you set yourself up for suffering and loss of what you hold dear and of value. That is a big neon sign for predators to come along and take advantage of you and possibly your family too if you are weak. The predator mindset people don’t care about you and your family, they are just out to consume and control whatever they choose. 

As for the spiritual wound, I don’t believe in god, due to research over many years, I only believe in pure spiritual energy and a primary source way beyond the human concept of spiritual consciousness and our tiny part in the infinite multiverse. Astrology is only limited to this earth and not the multiverse so it is restrictive, but still a very interesting subject. 

Ok, here I have to call out the concept of being accountable for things. We are literally preprogrammed before we incarnate and we all carry the so called ancestral health and negative effects of the soul group because this in needed to keep humans in the debt cycle to keep us reincarnating. I have already commented on reincarnation is not in humanity benefit and is a manipulative unhelpful tool which is purposely used for spiritual enslavement of traumatised souls and spirits. I recommend that people do some reading on the topic and not just from the Wes Penre Papers, there are multiple articles and sources that state this. 

Caution and healthy skepticism is good because it can help you sift through fake spirituality and bullshit. I’m speaking from experience here over many years. It is foolish to go with blind faith and accept of anything and especially anything of a spiritual or metaphysical nature. There are many blind alleys and wrong turns in the quest of truth and spirituality which often lead people to turn their backs and spirituality. Astrology is a tool to facilitate our way through life it doesn’t have all the answers. Only you have the answers for you at different points in your life. Our opinions and beliefs will always change so being flexible is important no matter what happens in your life. Play with the hand you are dealt and use it to your best advantage, especially spiritually. Keeping it honest and simple, you can’t go wrong in your quest for a better life and an understanding of what your life means. 

Sturgeon full moon and blue moon in August 2023

Here are things to watch out for astrology wise, including avoiding surgery on a full moon. 

https://astrostyle.com/2023-full-moons/

Read down the comments for each month’s full moon. September, yikes; keep anger under control!

I have a long way to go learning the subject to get to doing any of this skill to put out anything for a full moon or any fancy stuff. But who knows maybe one day I can. It would be nice to be able to do what these amazing astrologers do. But I do my stuff via tarot and to me adding astrology into the skill set gives me deeper insight to communicate to others. 

A breakthrough in my Astrology studies

 Yesterday I made a bit of a breakthrough in studying astrology. I now realise that I should have taken the plunge many years ago. Because I was under the false assumption that it would be too difficult for me to learn and I had never bought or even looked at a basic book on learning about astrology. 

Having dyscalculia and other learning difficulties I automatically assumed that there would be no possible way that I would be able to do this. I was wrong I have made progress, I understand what I am learning and I am very passionate about the subject. I’m so glad that I took the plunge into this subject. I just wish that I had done so twenty or even forty years ago. But everything comes down to timing. And when the student is ready the teacher appears.

I actually put off learning the Tarot cards out of fear for twenty years and a lack of faith in myself. But when I have a gift that is to be shared with humanity out of unconditional love then events are put into place by spirit to give one the courage and faith to be able to have confidence and courage to be able to carry out the mission and purpose for being given these gifts or abilities.

For a few months I have been anxious and fearful because of my fears of not being good enough to do this  calling. Having grown up as a child that was treated as a joke or a failure; life has never been easy for me.

My sibling sailed through life and was the favourite where I was seen as a joke. Well I have kept my faith in spirit and have always tried to be a good person and now I look back at from the moment that I picked up first deck of Tarot cards to where I am today and think well I managed to do this all on my own.

That was because I felt so strongly about the Tarot cards and understood that this is a spiritual journey and calling to help others. It’s not about me and never has been, it’s about humanity and spirit within humanity. Astrology is also part of the calling. I just didn’t know that until I started getting a strong pull towards it. The team behind me in spirit helping me every step of the way. I have no idea what will happen with all of this and turning 60 in a few weeks I think to myself why at this age? Other people are retiring and here I am moving into this.

I understand that I am merely a tool for spirit to help others and I am extremely grateful for the opportunity. But again why me and why when I am getting old and having health problems. 

I guess the thing to do is just get on with it and don’t overthink everything as I normally do. If one person benefits from this then it is worth it. I do get great happiness out of helping others and seeing them happy. I know what it feels like to be unhappy and depressed, but to bring happiness and hope to someone is in itself a gift. I feel joy to see happiness in others. 

So I pray that my studies will provide that opportunity to give to humanity and also prove to myself that I must have faith and confidence in myself, not to be put of by naysayers and just do what I am here for. I am getting much happiness in learning and will enjoy explaining and demystifying astrology to people in the future. One thing I keep in mind is, if I can do this then anyone can. If you have learning difficulties like I do then you will understand where I am coming from. 

You have to develop faith in yourself because nobody will give you the faith and trust you need, you must do it for yourself. Do not give in because others think it's a waste of time or you won't be any good at it. Please be courageous enough to live on your own terms and carry out your life’s mission. 

I now understand the dream that I had when the old men saluted me. I was baffled by the dream and it had me worried for the future. 

https://psychictarotreadingwithalexfulford.blogspot.com/2021/05/ok-what-did-i-just-sign-up-for-here.html

So if you feel a pull towards a particular form of employment or anything else then listen to your heart and give it a try.

Warm and fuzzy hugs

July full moon (Buck Moon)

 https://www.almanac.com/content/full-moon-july

The 3rd of July full moon is a super moon and knowing as a Buck Moon. 

Don’t forget to charge your crystals, if you are unable to put your crystals out in the moon light you can run them under the cold tap, bathe them in salt or smudge them with white sage. 

Smudging your crystals is perhaps the best alternative to the full moon because you are clearing the energy. Sort of jump starting your precious crystals and you’re infusing them with your loving energy.
