    Quote Hi Flash, I'm so sorry that you went through all that pain. I had a pretty nasty time with my toothache a month ago, which I still remember clearly.
    Anyway, I had a look t your chart and could not see what was going on that would have triggered such a painful ear infection. The only transit which was exact was Chiron trine your Saturn. I have heard of malignant trines before...normally trines are benign. Then I saw it....Saturn (in Scorpio) had hit the midpoint between your Saturn/ Moon conjunction.
    Midpoint transits are harder to spot. So you can put this down to the second Saturn return...and the moon is of course all about sensitivity...so lets hope you cleared out some ancient Karma and can now start on a fresh new cycle, all renewed.
    When Scorpio is involved pains can be hellish.
    That is sooooooo strange Ulli, I had not told anybody and I rarely think that way, but i had the feeling that i was clearing something, some old karmic debts, or something having to do with not hearing, or not wanting to hear.

    I went to a meditation class last week end, whith a very developed (spiritually) teacher, and someone ask me to ask him a quesiton because for some reasons she could not, and he blasted me with one short sentence for asking too much from the head instead of the heart. He was right, I had mentally processed the question to be able to ask, and it was not my question.

    The feeling was "OK OK" like a clueless teenager, then a feeling of well, crying, holding up my throat got very soar, then a feeling of rejection, etc etc and all those images from the past emerging in cascades. Images of the fear to speak from the heart and wanting to disappear, not be noticed, in a small corner in a basement, to hide. It went on for 24 hours, then this terrible ear infection.

    It resonnated a bit like once, when Carmody wrote on a post to tell me to stop writing about the fairy love kind - you know, the love and light wanting too much to be love lol. He was right too.

    I know something will change or is / has changed

    One lesson for sure: don't mix in somebody elses incapacities and salvation demands, and ask yourself if a question is Worth asking, finally speak from the heart (I do not mean emotions here, but heart). For those who do not know, my daughter nicknamed me the scientific mom lol. Although i am far from as brilliant as some here, I do have a tendency to be intellectual and love science.

    Thanks Ulli for checking my chart and your comments.
    I find that Geminis are so brainy, and have such high mental capacity that they frequently don't understand
    that the real self has little to do with the intellect.
    So it often takes some painful event to kick them into a higher gear.

    Having a great intellect is a gift, and yet one should never forget that it is only a tool
    which needs to be put back in the tool box once a job is done.

    gotta run for a bit, but I thought I'd post this before I forget.

    Let' see if folks can figure out what this means....

    Quote Ancient Earth might have had an extraterrestrial supply of vitamin B3 delivered by carbon-rich meteorites, according to a new analysis by NASA-funded researchers. The result supports a theory that the origin of life may have been assisted by a supply of key molecules created in space and brought to Earth by comet and meteor impacts. "It is always difficult to put a value on the connection between meteorites and the origin of life; for example, earlier work has shown that vitamin B3 could have been produced non-biologically on ancient Earth, but it's possible that an added source of vitamin B3 could have been helpful," said Karen Smith of Pennsylvania State University in University Park, Pa. "Vitamin B3, also called nicotinic acid or niacin, is a precursor to NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), which is essential to metabolism and likely very ancient in origin." Smith is lead author of a paper on this research, along with co-authors from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., now available online in the journal Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta.

    Do not be dismayed that the SUN is entombed for three days below the horizon on the winter solstice, and fear not the longest night as the pagans did, using blood sacrifice rituals to appease their fears. There is no need for atonement, for after three days, as is written in all of the ancient texts from thousands of years ago, in the stone hieroglyphs and Sumerian tablets, as well as the astrology hidden in the bible, that the SUN does rise again and brings its life giving properties to the earth, and you shall eat again and surely not die. The Spring does come, and spring equinox is the festival of Easter, when the earth is born again, and the SUN has risen, and the days of the SUN become longer and longer, until the festival of the summer solstice, when the SUN is at its zenith, and we prepare once again for the fall of man, bringing in the harvest from our own efforts, preparing to fall into the darkness of the cold winter.

    Why is it that we still believe in pagan blood sacrifices and death, when it is assured that the SUN will return? It takes 26,000 years for one precession of the Equinoxes to go through all twelve of the constellations, and it was not till Pisces that the SUN of man came. That “age” of 2100 years is only a small part of the story, only one twelfth of the last precession, and it does no one any good to ignore the hundreds of thousands of years of prior history of this earth. Only the elite controllers, who came from the sky, defiled our women, infused us with their DNA, and still to this day control all of the historical documents, such as the bible, who benefit from this secrecy. They wrote the story and left out 90% of the truth that is there for us. They murdered and killed the indigenous Gnostics, burned the library at Alexandria, went all around the Mediterranean and murdered anyone who did not go along with Rome’s sanctioned story. But the truth is still out there for those who are willing to look deeper.

    So, go forth and plant seed! Happy Easter everyone!

    It has begun. K has a sign that is 14 degrees in a cardinal sign. Upheaval, trauma. That's what it looks like. Little One has one that is 15 degrees, so I think he is observing this, being effected but it isn't happening to him. We found out yesterday he has a reaction to fire ant bites. Everyone does, but his is a bit severe.

    From my new perspective, I see that upheaval is necessary for repositioning. Even my last six months. It's really only traumatic when there is identification with the physical world. Which, obviously, we are supposed to have. Otherwise what good would it do to be here? But I can say, for certain, that I am not nearly as entangled in the physical as I used to be.

    M has gone to stay with K and Little One for a while. Her plans are to smudge, burn incense, clean and clear the space...and then...be my little warrior. Though there is a conscious aspect to this, I know the lion's share is unconscious on her part.

    More objective nowadays than ever before, my prayers are not to prevent suffering. My prayers are that the Highest Good unfolds, with the least amount of trauma or pain. Yes, especially for K. But after the past six months, I see that some discomfort will be necessary. Em, M and I are sending some good stuff in K's direction. It looks like puffy golden clouds of energy that surround her as she navigates rough waters...in a life boat showing wear. Little One is already surrounded, though I still see the trauma that unfolds.

    It's Okay. Trust.

    and Much Love,

    Dear David,

    Whilst making your enqiries did it not occur to you to pop your head round the door of the Ministry of Defense to ask those chaps ? the DoT are far too busy filling pot holes.

    Alternatively you could have just stuck your head out of the window and looked up.

    - or you do know, and thats why you promised unlimited funds for recent flood damage repairs in Conservative dominated constituancies in the South West.

    Don't want another Lynmouth Disaster, do we ?

    Project Cumulus

    Quote Operation Cumulus was a project of the UK government in the 1950s which was investigating weather manipulation, in particular through cloud seeding experiments. Known jokingly within the project as Operation Witch Doctor,[1] the project was operational between 1949 and 1952.

    this reminds me of a very funny story:

    My first job ever, a summer student job, at 16 or 17, was as a typist for the air force. So I was located at a small airport typing contracts and demands for bids to repair the airport, all summer long, one side of the booklet in French, the other side in English, on an old typewriter with 3 carbon copies to be erased everytime i would make a mistake - at the end of the summer i was typing more than 100 words a minute, with no mistakes. lol and have since excellent fingers to give massages lol.

    Well, the letter S is typed with the lelft ring finger, and the letter L with the right ring finger, sometimes typing fast you become finger dyslexic kind of. So I was typing the contracts to repair the airport air strips, and sending them back to engineering.

    One day, one young engineer came back in the secretaries office and told me "you just had to plainly tell us what you truly thought of us, no use to use subterfuges" and then told everybody: "instead of typing - you have to plug all holes, she typed : you have to plug a s s holes" Everybody laugh and I became tomatoe red, but they laughed still more when I asked "what does arse holes means" you see, I could not speak English and I was typing exclusively by sight, not understanding the English version of what I typed, and nobody had guessed.

    So yes, i did tell the military once in my life that they were arse holes. lol

    Was going over some of my favourite Wingmaker passages just now, and thought I'd share this:


    Dr. Neruda: "No one who's invested in astronomy, cosmology, or physics likes to think that their discipline is misguided by false or incomplete assumptions. But they are. And there's a good reason."

    Sarah: "Which is?"


    Dr. Neruda: "Imagine that the observable universe is the middle rung on a ladder of unknown length. Each of the rungs above and below our observable universe represents an order of magnitude beyond our senses. For example, let's say that the rung above the one that represents our observable universe is the outer perimeter of our Milk Way galaxy. Using a telescope we can see the next rung above us, but the rest of the ladder is lost in a thick haze.

    "Looking downward -- at a microscopic level with an electron microscope -- we can add another rung below our observable universe, and with a particle accelerator, we can even theorize what the next rung below that might be, but the rest of the ladder trails downward into a thick haze no different than when we try to look up.

    "With all of our technology and theory, we still have no idea how tall the ladder is or even whether the ladder is straight or begins to curve like a double-helix. We don't know if perhaps the top end of the ladder curves to such a degree that it actually connects with the bottom end of the ladder. And we don't even know whether there might be additional ladders."

    ... thought I'd share this:


    Dr. Neruda: "No one who's invested in astronomy, cosmology, or physics likes to think that their discipline is misguided by false or incomplete assumptions. But they are. And there's a good reason."

    Sarah: "Which is?"


    Dr. Neruda: "Imagine that the observable universe is the middle rung on a ladder of unknown length. ..."

    That is beautiful.

    Thanks, Ulli!

    To many people who think themselves as worldly-wise, even cynical, the notion of a worldwide conspiracy of warmakers, committed to the violent exploitation of humanity, seems ridiculous. They reach this conclusion not because there is a lack of evidence in the form of persistent warfare, the creation of horrific chemical, biological, thermonuclear and tactical nuclear devices, and mass profiteering by arms manufacturers, but from mere unwillingness to consider it. They reach this conclusion simply because they have never met a politician, banker, defense executive, or intelligence agent who admitted being a member of a secret society. They know nothing about the habits and behavior of billionaires and their armies of dependents. They think, simply because they consort neither with the rich nor with pedophiles, that there are no rich pedophiles, or at least, that the vices of the rich and powerful are elevated vices that do not include sick kicks like having sex with children. They cannot conceive of how the destruction of the Three Towers on 9/11 could have been executed as an inside job, because they think the secrets would have come out by now. They think the secrets would have come out by now because they do not know how secrecy is enforced. They do not know that secrecy is enforced by elevating people into wealthy, powerful positions, then inducing those wealthy, powerful people to indulge in sick kicks, like having sex with children, and recording those indiscretions on video, so they can blackmail them when it is time to get some legislation passed, some contracts signed, or to keep something from being investigated. The Franklin Cover-up provides an education for people who haven’t yet learned about these aspects of the lifestyles of the rich and perverse.

    Many people also cannot believe that secret societies exist that worship death and destruction, whose members believe in chaos and anarchy as creative principles, and are so twisted in their view of life that they view fertility as disgusting. Again, this disbelief is not grounded in a lack of evidence. While any two Mexicans meeting in a parking lot to deliver methamphetamine will constitute a conspiracy beyond a reasonable doubt, when dozens of wealthy men meet at secluded locations in the company of their lawyers to make business and political agreements that will net them billions in profits that they will then stash in offshore accounts to avoid taxation, much or all of which is felonious conduct, to describe this as a conspiracy is laughable. These people are not Mexicans! Take the Hollywood media moguls, who constitute a cabal that operates cloaked in secrecy, spends oceans of money with poor accounting, notoriously consumes narcotics and maintains addicts as paid talents, runs a secret ratings system in which the Catholic and Episcopal churches have an official role, and launders money for the mob. Hollywood has a long and well-documented relationship with the military, and has reliably glorified war, the American fighting man, and the rightness of the capitalist cause, ever since its emergence as a media force. Modern movies have elevated rape to an art form, and critics seriously discuss the merits of gore-drenched cinema, turning rape, murder and torture into the central dramatic focus of modern entertainment. Sadism is our daily fare. In their personal lives, Hollywood personalities are often genuinely debauched beasts, and the murders of actresses as elevated as Natalie Wood have gone virtually uninvestigated. As for pedophilia, need we say more than “Sunset Boulevard?”

    Many people also cannot believe that religion can be at fault in leading humanity down the path to destruction. But when judged by considering their culpability for engendering woman-hatred, there is little that can be said to get them off the hook. The Islamic mullas have been vilified enough for their cruelty to women, but they attain no special distinction in an objective review of the field of all world religions. Like spiteful children, generation upon generation of monks, magicians, tantrikas, swamis and saints have complained that they never wished to be born, and have offered imaginary antidotes to existence, closing their eyes to the sun, the wind, the burgeoning fields and the falling rain, seeking solace in their male minds. The Dalai Lama, often identified as some type of ideal human being, actually comes from a tradition that is steeped in the concept of female sacrifice as a means of capturing the female essence and appropriating its “gynergy” in the quest for enlightenment. Nearer to home, but still steeped in this tradition of stealing the female identity of women, every Sunday all across the United States, men dressed in robes like ancient patriarchs, called priests and ministers, stand in pulpits proclaiming the eternal verities of God the Father. For a connection to Nazism, need we say more than “Cardinal Ratzinger?” For a connection to pedophilia, will it be sufficient to say “Archdiocese of Philadelphia?”

    So I am delving into astrology and the grand cross.

    the moment mars hits 13.59 degrees Libra.

    The Ascendant is in gemini. which gives some thinking room.
    Sun in Taurus. which provides stability..

    Moon in aquarius, making us think about the accompanied emotions before we act maybe.
    Venus is in Pisces also reaffirming feelings of trust..

    Well as an astrology layperson just on the brink of gaining some understanding in this field, I could be wayy of the mark..

    mars is retrograde right? so all that fiery energy is tempered a bit.
    Anyway I think nothing major will really happen....

    WIth Love
    Eelco
