and the Evidence for Astrology

“Two thousand years and no new god?”

- Friedrich Nietzsche

On July 30, 2021, the Taliban began their last battles to take the provincial capitals of Afghanistan. That was the day when Mars the God of war, entered the sign of Virgo the sign of the Puritan. The word Puritan and purification have the same root.

Virgo’s original Image was that of a young woman, not a virgin. Mary was conflated with Virgo in the early Christian era.

These are Puritans with Kalashnikovs. Like any militant religionists the Taliban enforce their view of black-and-white Islam with force, rage and bullets. It is always the crazy religious zealots who murder to defend their god.

These mountain men like the Mongols destroy what they fear. In this case the Taliban fear of the education of girls and women. They would rather see one of their soldiers die horribly then be healed or cured buy a female physician.

Let me state as clearly as I can these religious zealots are no different from those religious zealots who keep women in chains, whether these manacles are physical or metaphoric.

The god of war, Mars, was exactly conjunct Mercury, the messenger, that day, at 12 degrees of Virgo.

FROM REUTERS: KABUL, July 30 — “Anti-government elements” in Afghanistan attacked the main U.N. compound in the capital of the western province of Herat on Friday and at least one security guard was killed, the U.N. Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) said.

The attack, involving rocket-propelled grenades and gunfire, happened hours after Taliban fighters penetrated deep into Herat city, and there were heavy clashes with Afghan security forces near the UNAMA provincial headquarters, officials said.

It also came as U.S.-led foreign forces near a complete withdrawal of troops and Afghan security forces struggle to hold back Taliban fighters in three major provincial capitals.

In a statement following the attack, the United Nations said it was urgently seeking to establish a full picture of the assault and was in contact with the relevant parties.

Of course, this is a clear vindication of astrology, and of the way that astrology works. The planets did not cause anyone to become the Taliban or to attack the United Nations. This really reveals what happens when decisions are made and actions taken. Our infantile culture imagines that someone higher or some malicious malevolent force is at work here making helpless people bad.

The pattern you breathed in, that LANGUAGE of the planets symbolizes the work you came to do in this life, specifically as this person. I say language because the planets don’t do anything. Do green or red lights force a vehicle to go — or stop? No. Its something we all agree on; green means go and red means stop. {Unless you need to be infantile about it.} It is collective agreement.

Everyone knows what a tree or Michael Jackson looks like. These are called archetypes. You are part of a collective — that has opportunities within limits. No one is self made — no one can be anything they want to be. This is a story we tell children. Astrology tells how you evolve through earthly limits, opportunities and challenges. You are not now the same as when you were five or seventeen years old. There was certainly a time in our lives when tying our shoes was a very big deal. Later on it became almost nothing. In Astrology this is called the natal or birth chart, the transits, and progressions.

Some despise history yet are not conscious enough to say the words — think the words — I despise history. Viral plagues occur and re-occur thru-out history. The old hippie astrologers did a little too much mescaline. Their ‘enemy’ must be perfect and have perfected malaise. They are surprised and angry by their burnt toast, about their flat tire, yet look you in the eye to say there are no accidents. Accidents and shocks and surprises will fill their lives and yours and mine.

Listen carefully; no surprises — no life.

BEWARE OF GOD

Islam — like Judaism and Christianity was born of a tormented people who eventually found enough followers to turn from the persecuted into the punishers. How many people were murdered in the Old Testament?

FROM: https://dwindlinginunbelief.blogspot.com/2006/08/how-many-has-god-killed.html

How many has God killed?

I kill … I wound … I will make my arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh. — Deuteronomy 32:39–42

How many people did God kill in the Bible?

It’s impossible to say for sure, but plenty. How many did God drown in the flood or burn to death in Sodom and Gomorrah? How many first-born Egyptians did he kill? There’s just no way to count them all.

But sometimes the Bible tells us exactly how many were killed by God. So, what happens if you total all these killings? What number do you get?

Well, here’s what I came up with: 2,476,633

Note that this number is a gross underestimate of the total number. It doesn’t include, in many cases, women and children, and it completely leaves out some of God’s more impressive kills. (Like the flood, Sodom and Gomorrah, the firstborn Egyptian children, etc.)

So, what happens if you use estimates when the Bible provides only numbers for adult male victims or no numbers at all?

Here’s my estimate: 25 million

FROM WIRED :https://www.wired.com/2007/04/old-testament-m/

… comparing God’s Bronson-esque kill count in the Old Testament versus the Biblical Personification of Evil, Satan. Please note that God’s kill count is 227,037% higher than Satan’s. These numbers do not include women and children.

Ancient Carthage was founded by a group of Lebanese peoples who thought the city slackers were not sacrificing enough blood. Too civil — too corruptly civilized.

The Nazi party was formed February 24, 1920, when Saturn was at 8 degrees Virgo, opposed Uranus {01 degree} the Sun {4 degrees} and Mercury {18 degrees}, all in Pisces. They thought the West was decadent, impure, and defiled with art, brown people, homosexuals, gypsies, and congenital morons.

Think of the millions of lives saved if we took it upon ourselves to stop the Nazi’s around then, instead of waiting for God to save the Jews, and people like you.

There are Christians and Jews who would keep women barefoot, ignorant and pregnant. These number in the millions. There are those everywhere in the world who find it comforting and convenient to follow a punishing vindictive insane and clearly thin-skinned god of horror. This is the old god of severity.

As Mars begins his transiting opposition to Neptune {the first week of September 2021} at 22 to 25 degrees of Pisces, the Taliban will stop pretending to be tolerant of Kabul’s city life — and year Zero will begin, just like it did for Pol Pot.

That will also be the turning and telling moment when China will be the big money lender to the Taliban, to discourage the fire of radical Islam’s spread to the Chinese Uighurs.

Napoleon thought that the modern army runs on it’s stomach. The 21st century army runs on money.

To quote LBJ, “I never trust a man until I have his balls in my pocket.”

Time to fire the old God and hire a new one — one that is full of love, mercy, healing and compassion.

P.S. I’m telling you in advance that this new God is a little girl.
