There are numerous instances of saints raising people from the dead. This is not a miracle left to only Biblical accounts. Jesus said his followers would perform more and greater miracles than he did. This happened. Previously, I charted a headless man walking. That was a cephalophore: A beheaded man living. Like that instance, this is the only instance of a resurrection I can find a date for (other than Jesus’), though the accounts of saints raising the dead are numerous (St. Nicholas was said to have raised the dead, for example). This resurrection has a commemorative mass celebrating it every year, which is how I got the date for it.

St. Phillip Neri was saying a mass when he was called to see a dying boy before the boy was to die. St. Phillip could not leave the mass, so another priest had to give the boy Xtreme Unction. As soon as the Mass was concluded, St. Philip left to attend to Paolo. Don Fabrizio, weeping, met him at the top of the stairs and said to him, “You are too late. Paolo is dead.”

St. Philip replied, “And why didn’t you send someone to call me sooner?”

“We did,” rejoined Fabrizio, “but Your Reverence was saying Mass.”

Philip then entered the room where the dead body of the youth lay. Setting himself at the edge of the bed, he prayed for seven or eight minutes with the usual palpitation of his heart and trembling of his body. He then took some holy water and sprinkled the boy’s face, and put a little in his mouth. After this he breathed in his face, laid his hand upon his forehead, and called him twice with a loud and sonorous voice, “Paolo, Paolo!”

The youth immediately awoke as from a deep sleep, opened his eyes and said, as in reply to Philip’s call, “Father! I wanted to see you. I forgot to mention a sin, and I would like to make a confession.”

The holy priest ordered those who were round the bed to retire for awhile, and putting a crucifix into Paolo’s hand he heard his confession and gave him absolution.

When the others returned to the room, Philip began to talk with the youth about his sister and mother, who were both dead, and this conversation lasted about half an hour. The youth conversed naturally with a clear distinct voice, as if he were in perfect health. The color had returned to his countenance, and to all who looked at him it seemed as if he had no ill heath at all.

At last St. Philip asked him before his father and all the others in the room if he would die willingly; he replied yes. A second time Philip asked him me if he could die willingly. He replied, “Yes, most willingly; especially so that I may go and see my mother and my sister in Paradise.”

Philip then gave him his blessing, saying, “Go, be blessed, and pray to God for me.“

Immediately with a placid countenance and without the least movement, Paolo expired in Philip’s arms.

Witnessing all this were Fabrizio with two of his daughters who were nuns in Santa Marta, his second wife Violante Santacroce, the servant Francesca who assisted Paolo in his illness, and several others.

The time is unknown. We can infer it was during the day from St. Phillip having celebrated mass, but that’s it.

Natally, St. Phillip Neri has a Uranus-Saturn quincunx: “Resurrect (Uranus) Dead (Saturn).” And Juno (Saturnian) is right next to this aspect, as well, emphasizing it.

Uranus and Sappho are conjunct in transit. Sappho is a Venusian object. “Resurrect (Uranus) Child (Venus).”

Sun conjunct Venus in transit in late Pisces trining Juno in late Scorpio (Uranus). “Day (Sun) Dead (Juno) Child (Venus) Resurrected (Uranus).” The Sun-Venus conjunct in late Pisces adds Plutonian themes to the aspect. Pluto brings mystery, illness, and other ill themes. It can be “Resurrect Sick (Pluto) Child from Dead.” Of course, Sun and Venus already square Pluto for that.

ECLIPSE

Eclipses cause a disruption in the earth’s energy. It’s like someone temporarily turning off the power supply (the Sun or Moon). For miracles, there will always be either an eclipse or a powerful station of an outer planet causing this disruption. On the day of the boy’s resurrection, Neptune is 12 days from stationing direct. The gas giants’ stations are felt many days before the day they station, and after. Astrologers have various takes on how many days, just as they do orbs for aspects.

The eclipse is conjunct the transit’s Neptune. Cancer is Martian. So, this would signal “Raise (Neptune) Male (Mars) [who is] Bedridden/Diseased (Pluto).” Or: “Raise Male [from] Hades (Pluto).” This is using Johndro’s Astrological Dictionary strictly. However, I often see Pluto involving the dead. Johndro’s dictionary has “corpse” in Saturn, but I think it should be in Pluto, where all the other gross things are, and let Saturn keep “dead.” If we do that, we get: “Raise Male Corpse (Pluto).”

There was also an eclipse on the prior Christmas. The eclipse’s Venus is conjunct Neri’s Moon in Sagittarius. Sagittarius is ruled by Uranus. The rulerships at 15-16 Sagitarius can read: “Child (Venus) Resurrected (Uranus) at Home (Moon) from Death (Saturn).”

Unfortunately, we do not have the boy’s chart. We would expect the eclipses to show not only his death, but also miracle (Uranus) about it. Based on Johndro’s electric phase technique, it would likely be a transit at 25 Aries.

I previously covered the Liturgy of the Hours and its relation to astrology. There is also the Catholic weekday devotions. This system is something that developed over the centuries. While Sunday and Friday were always devoted to Jesus, the rest of the days developed over time. Catholics soon devoted other days of the week to other devotions.

Sundays are devoted to Jesus’ Resurrection.

Mondays are devoted to the Souls of Purgatory.

Tuesdays are devoted to the angels.

Wednesdays are devoted to St. Joseph.

Thursdays are devoted to the Eucharist.

Fridays are devoted to Jesus’ passion.

Saturdays are devoted to Mary.

This system is also overlayed with the rosary mysteries. The rosary is a devotion of rote prayers combined with meditation on Christ’s life called “mysteries.” It developed over centuries. Currently the mysteries are split between the “traditional” system, and the current. The mysteries are prayed according to the days of the week.

Trad Rosary Mysteries:

Sundays - Glorious Mysteries. The Ressurection of Jesus, and the Ascensions of Jesus and Mary and her Coronation.

Mondays - Joyous Mysteries. Jesus’ conception, nativity, and childhood.

Tuesdays - Sorrowful Mysteries. Jesus’ Passion.

Wednesdays - Glorious Mysteries

Thursdays - Joyous Mysteries

Fridays - Sorrowful Mysteries

Saturdays - Glorious Mysteries.

The current rosary was instituted by Pope St. John Paul II in 2002. It added the Luminous Mysteries which cover Jesus’ ministries. This shifted the schedule for the mysteries. They now look like this:

• Sunday - Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary

• Monday - Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary

• Tuesday - Sorrowful Mysteries of the Rosary

• Wednesday - Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary

• Thursday - Luminous Mysteries of the Rosary

• Friday - Sorrowful Mysteries of the Rosary

• Saturday - Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary

Now we will compare these devotions to the Planetary Days. This is an ancient system, going back to the origins of astrology. It is comes from the Planetary Hours, which rotates the hour’s planetary ruler. Each day, the first hour’s ruler gives the Day’s ruler. This is where we get the names for our days of the week from.

Sunday - Sun

Monday - Moon

Tuesday - Mars

Wednesday - Mercury

Thursday - Jupiter

Friday - Venus

Saturday - Saturn

This can be correlated with the Catholic devotionals. It’s not perfect, but is interesting to look at.

SUNDAY

Day of the Sun. The Sun is the attributes of God. Immortality, Everlasting, Light, Glory. This is the day of worship. Specifically, it is about Jesus’ Resurrection. Jesus is the sol invictus: The Unconquerable Sun. In the rosary, we meditate on all these themes of resurrection, ascension, and immortality.

MONDAY

Moon Day. The Church devotional are the souls of Purgatory. The rosary mysteries are Jesus’ birth and childhood. Purgatory is the dead, specifically the ghosts of the dead. Ghosts are the purgatorial souls. The Moon covers ghosts and phantoms. The Moon’s theme is also night, which is where we often think of and see ghosts. “Nightmare” is another attribute of the Moon. The first Joyful Mystery is the Annunciation which announces Jesus’ conception. Conception is a lunar attribute. So is “gestation.” That is the Second Joyful Mystery: The Visitation where pregnant Mary met pregnant Elizabeth and the babies recognized each other in the womb. Moon is also “mother.” Mary’s motherhood is a theme in every Joyful Mystery.

TUESDAY

Mars’ Day. Angels. Most Catholics devote Tuesdays to the Archangels, Michael being the most popular, or their Guardian Angel. Angels are protectors, a Mars theme. St. Michael is pretty much the Catholic war god. He is the patron saint of every military and paramilitary branch. Anything to do with fighting he is the patron saint of. In the rosary, we cover the Sorrowful Mysteries. These are the bloody and violent mysteries of Christ’s passion. Mars is blood and violence.

WEDNSDAY

Mercury. This one is not a perfect match in Catholic devotion. The devotion is a late one. St. Joseph. St. Joseph was not a popular devotion until the 15th Century. St. Joseph doesn’t say a line in scripture. He’s not a Mercurial figure. The Rosary devotion are the Glorious Mysteries. Sunday is a better day for those.

THURSDAY

Jupiter. Devotion to the Eucharist. God in the flesh. Jupiter is about God and holy things. In the trad Rosary, we return to the Joyful Mysteries of baby Jesus. This can work as meditation on God, but I like the Luminous Mysteries better for Jupitarian themes. In the Joyful Myseries, you are looking Lunar themes of Motherhood and conception. With the Luminous Mysteries you do get Jupiter themes out of Jesus’ ministry, including the institution of the Eucharist that Thursdays are devoted to. In fact, Johndro has “ministry” as Jupiter theme. Many of the Luminous Mysteries are announcing Jesus as God. The Baptism has God announcing from Heaven that Jesus is the succosor king (Jupiter) to King David (“beloved Son” being a Davidic king title). The Third Mystery is Jesus’ proclamation of Kingdom (Jupiter) of God. The Fourth is Jesus’ Transfiguration where he displays his divinity (Jupiter). And then we have the Eucharist.

FRIDAY

Venus. Fridays have always been about Christ’s Passion. Venusian or not, that is what Fridays are. What is fascinating is that Johndro’s dictionary includes both “Blood” and “Passion Play” under Venus. Perfect.

SATURDAY

Saturn Day. This is Christ in the tomb. While, the devotional day is Marian, there has always been an underlying Catholic remembrance of Jesus in death and Hell on Saturday. These are Saturnian themes and fit better than Mary and her Sacred Heart. You can however, combine the themes and remember Mary’s sorrow at Jesus’ death. In the trad rosary, Saturay is Glorious Mysteries of resurrection and assumption. In the current rosary it is the Joyful Mysteries. With the Glorious Mysteries, you are using Saturday to anticipate the resurrection. With Joyful, you are looking back to the nativity. I give the Joyful Mysteries the edge, here, because half of them Jesus is in Mary’s womb, and I mark the womb as Saturnian and many Catholic thinkers note a typology between Jesus gestation and birth with his tomb. St. Pope John Paul the Second wins again. The new rosary is more aligned with the planets than the old.

The SSPX is a society of schismatic priests who are still crying about Nostra Aetate and the Second Vatican Council. They believe any mass not said in Latin is invalid inspite of no pope saying anything remotely close to this. Contrarily, they think consecrating bishops inspite of a pope saying “no” is not an invalid act. Such are people who do not understand authority.

The SSPX was founded by, then, Bishop Marcel Lefebvre. He was disappointed in the training of priests and so started his own priest society to train priests. This was cool with the Church until Lefebvre decided to consecrate his own bishops. When he decided to do this was after St. Pope John Paul II did nothing wrong at the World Peace Day in Assissi. Lefebvre was growing frustrated with change after the Second Vatican Council and the documents he signed and helped author there.

The SSPX maintain that even the best of the liturgies, as done today (Novus Ordo) are an offense to God. It is a contemporary schismatic order outside of the Church denying the Second Vatican Council and all its teachings. They deny papal authority and the ecumenical council of Vatican II.

Lefebvre decided to consecrate his own bishops. He did not want any bishops who affirmed Vatican 2, so he picked four priests to make bishops. St. Pope John Paul II told him if he did this, he and all those priests will be excommunicated. Lefebvre did so. Pope John Paul II excommunicated them instantly. These became known as the Econe Consecrations.

The planets aligned on this one.

The Sun is trining SSPX Sun. This shows a significant event for the order. The Moon was full, the night before.

Saturn and Uranus are conjunct in Sagittarius. “Schismatic (Uranus) Priests (Saturn).” Or “Schismatic (Uranus) Consecration (Saturn).”

For Marcel Lefebvre, things get more interesting.

The Saturn-Uranus conjunction is conjunct Lefebvre’s Mercury. Lefebvre is announcing schism. Lefebvre is having a Lunar Return. The Sun is on his Neptune. This shows the day is regarding his Catholicism. Transit Vesta in Leo is conjunct his Juno. “Ordain (Vesta) Priests (Juno).” These asteroids are in the Jupitarian half of Leo, so the ordination language can be spelled out even without Vesta.

Two hours after the consecrations, Pope St. John Paul II declared Lefebvre as excommunicated as a matter of law. The next day, he issued a decree formally declaring Lefebvre and his bishops as excommunicated. Here is the decree biwheeled with Lefebvre’s priestly ordination:

Transit Juno opposes the ordinations Saturn. “End (Juno) Priest (Saturn).” The Saturn-Uranus conjunct is conjunct that Saturn showing an excommunicated (Uranus) priest (Saturn). In fact, Lefebvre’s ordination has this natally with Saturn in Sagittarius, since Sagittarius is ruled by Uranus. The Moon is semisextiling all this. The Saturn-Uranus conjunction is also squaring Ordination’s Sun. “Day (Sun) Priest (Saturn) Excommunicated (Uranus).”

THE SECOND CONSECRATIONS

The SSPX plans on doing a second set of consecrations, since the original bishops are dying. Again, the pope is not allowing it. Again, the SSPX are going ahead without the pope. The new consecrations will be on July 1, 2026 (the solar return of the Econe Consecrations).

Mars and Uranus are in conjunction. “Schismatic (Uranus) Act (Mars).” Neptune is in sextile with Mars and Uranus to show the schism is with the Catholic Church (Neptune). Jupiter is ingressing Leo. “New (Ingress) Ordinations (Jupiter) Acts (Mars) Announced (Mercury).”

At the time of this writing, who will perform the consecrations and who will be ordained has not been announced. So, until it happens, I cannot chart their upcoming excommunications.

Revelation was written before 70 AD, since it describes John measuring the Temple. The Temple was destroyed during the Sagittariun ingress of the Galactic Center. It was written during the reign of Emperor Galba in 68 AD.

Revelation 12 is the basis of the September birth of Jesus.

1 And a great sign appeared in heaven: A woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars: 2 And being with child, she cried travailing in birth, and was in pain to be delivered. 3 And there was seen another sign in heaven: and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads, and ten horns: and on his heads seven diadems: 4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to be delivered; that, when she should be delivered, he might devour her son. 5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with an iron rod: and her son was taken up to God, and to his throne.

The academics read this as an astrology passage. They see “woman clothed with the Sun” as Sun in Virgo. “Moon at her feet” they read as the Moon being positioned at the feet of the Virgo constellation. They also read the passage as being about the birth of Jesus, and thus this passage giving a natal horoscope of when Jesus was born. This interpretation is a contemporary read. It is proposed by Dr. Michael Heiser, which prevents me from being condescending in attacking it. I like Heiser. However, this is a fashionable academic take. Academics get the fun of decoding a puzzle using a mysterius magical system (astrology) and then get to play with Stellarium until they find the moon underneath Virgo.

The September birthdate is so minority that it is not even mentioned by Finegan and other Biblical chronologists. There is a good reason for this. Ancient, First Century people knew the constellations and astrology better than professors of religious studies. If the Bible said the Sun was in Virgo when Jesus was born, there would be no tradition of a December birth date. The December 25th birth date is named by early Christians (St. John Chrystothem, and others earlier).

The passage is not an astrological passage. The imagery is apocalyptic and draws from more ancient visions and prophecies in the Old Testament. The woman is the Church. This draws from Genesis 3 where there is enmity between the Serpent’s seed and the woman’s children. These are not always literal, but a more spiritual lineage. The end of Chapter 12 spells this out: The seed of the woman are those who keep the commandments of God and follow Jesus. The seed of the woman is the Church. “Clothed with the Sun” is an image of glory, immortality, and God. The Church is protected by the glory of God. “The Moon at her feet” is saying she is over darkness. The Sun is her clothing, the Moon is beneath her. This is not astrology language. Astrology was already an ancient discipline in 68AD. Many prominent astrologers we still follow and read have already written their books. Ptolemy wrote his book in the BC…Manilus was writing in the 1st Century…..Astrology, complete with houses and charts, was already around. None of these astrologers cared about the Moon being positioned in a particular spot of a constellation. This is not astrology. And it’s not a celestial omen (an occultion would be more proper for lunar omen).

The Christmas birthdate is attested to early and often. The only other proposed month and day is January 6th. I go with the Christmas chart as its validated through transits and synastry. The synastry can be seen in my articles on St. Rose of Lima and Catherine of Sienna. Further proof will be given in my future articles on the crucifixion and resurrection. For now, you can see the synastry between these saints married to Jesus no longer exists. For St. Rose, it was a Juno-Juno conjunct. That does not exist anymore.

For Catherine of Sienna, she also loses the conjunct:

For St. Gemma, she has a 30 degree aspect between her Juno and Jesus’ Juno. In the September chart, she loses that aspect for what is a loose conjunct at best:

So, I find the September chart to be unvalidated.

Recently, Timothy Renner of Strange Familiars has done a series of King Arthur videos with Br. Richard. He then released a video of himself and Chad exploring a little known legend of King Arthur and his knights traveling to Pennsylvania to find a healing spring where Arthur died and was buried. They hike into the mountains and later find the grave and healing spring.

The Moon is at an exact, 0'00" 90 degree angle with the asteroid Sappho. Sappho is a Venusian object. So, three things can be true at once: "Friends (Sappho) Observe (Moon) Grave (Saturn/Libra); Fun (Sappho) Finding (Moon) Grave (Saturn/Libra)." Or, the Sappho in Cancer 90 degrees the Moon is showing the healing spring. Cancer is traditionally associated with Water. This can also be true with Sappho squaring Neptune, which is opposing the Moon conjunct Saturn. The Moon opposite the Saturn/Neptune conjunct shows both "Finding (Moon) Grave (Saturn) and Water (Neptune)." The asteroid Vesta makes these aspects a cross of Moon-Sappho-Saturn/Neptune-Vesta. Vesta is a Jupitarian asteroid. Jupiter is the King Planet. So, you now have “King” in these associations. The Sun in 23 Scropio is at the perfect set of rulerships to spell out “Day Exploring Lost Grave in Forest/Mountain/Legend.”

The transitting Medium Caeli is conjunct the star Miaplacidus, which is the star of wanderlust and exploring to learn. On Timothy Renner’s natal chart, the Medium Caeli is conjunct his Jupiter and semisextile transitting Moon: showing “Success (MC) Finding (Moon) King’s (Jupiter) Grave (Saturn/Scorpio).”

It is now my personal head canon that King Arthur died in Pennyslvania.

Viewing the above video, Renner reads out the legend of King Arthur dying in Pennsylvania, how he found the grave, and footage and full audio of him and Chad searching for and finding the grave. They also describe numerous odd experiences and coincidences during this time. It is the opinion of this astrologer that such things are due to the transits spelling out the theme. So, I already showed how the transits describe a search for a legendary king’s grave, so anything to do with that may occur under the transits.

Obviously, the standard lore is that King Arthur was buried in Glastonbury or elsewhere in Britain. Renner, Br. Richard, and Chad discuss the significance of legends and differing tales in these videos.

“I would rather die than do something which I know to be a sin, or to be against God’s will.”

With now Sabaton and Powerwolf both creating songs of Joan of Arc, she is now officially the most metal saint. St. Joan is one of the few saints who actually did something in the world, rather than retreat to a cloister. St. Joan of Arc was a holy person in the midst of war, leading armies. She ordered her soldiers o observe chastity. She chased off any sex workers following her army by using her sword (the only time she used her sword).

St. Joan also holds the unique distinction of being the only canonized martyr who was martyred by The Church. She was executed as a heretic.

Her birthdate seems to be uncertain, but nothing astrology can’t solve.

When verifying a birthdate, my first task is to run a biwheel with the death date.

Immediately, you can see Transit Saturn is conjunct Joan’s Sun. That is a death transit. Transit Sun is also conjunct her Pluto. This is also a common death transit. Pluto = Hades and the underworld and corpses, or “being [Sun] nothing (Pluto).” The transit being in Venusian Gemini gives us “girl.” For Joan, on this day, she was condemed for crimes. So, Sun + Pluto = Day of Crime. The Sun also semisextiles her Saturn for a death transit. But, you also have multiple angles at 18 degrees creating death transits. Transit Juno is trining her Saturn. Mars and Juno, in transit, are in semisextile. “Burned to Death.” This Mars also squares her Venus for “Girl in Flames.”

The next step is to use the prenatal chart. Deaths will show in the prenatal chart. This is the primary use of a prenatal chart: To verify natal charts.

Transit Saturn and Moon are conjunct the prenatal Juno. This is a death transit akin to a Saturn Return. This conjunct is opposing her prenatal Vesta in Cancer: “Virgin (Vesta) Dies (Saturn-Juno) by Fire (Mars-Cancer).” Prenatal Mars is semisextile her prenatal Moon, as is the Transit Ceres (Moon) conjunct this: “Torched (Mars) Girl (Moon/Ceres).” Transit Mars opposes her prenatal Aries Mercury and Transit Vesta. Mercury is any communication. St. Joan had her famous last words and prayers that showed a saint was being executed. “Virgin (Vesta) Confessing/Praying (Mercury) in Flames (Mars).”

Her prenatal chart has her manner of death all over it. Of note is her prenatal Sun is semisextile her Saturn and sextile her Uranus. “Immortalized (Sun) by Dying (Saturn) a Heretic (Uranus).”

REHABILITATION

“In consideration of the request of the d’Arc family against the Bishop of Beauvais, the promoter of criminal proceedings, and the inquisitor of Rouen ... in consideration of the facts. ... We, in session of our court and having God only before our eyes, say, pronounce, decree and declare that the said trial and sentence (of condemnation) being tainted with fraud (dolus malus), calumny, iniquity and contradiction, and manifest errors of fact and of law ... to have been and to be null, invalid, worthless, without effect and annihilated ... We proclaim that Joan did not contract any taint of infamy and that she shall be and is washed clean of such.”

The most notable fact is there is a solar opposition. This shows it is Joan’s day. Transit Sun is conjunct Transit Mercury semisextiling Venus: “Day (Sun) Joan (Joan’s Sun) Declared (Mercury) Innocent (Venus).” In transit, Uranus and Pluto are conjunct. “Reverse (Uranus) Crime (Pluto).”

As an important historical figure, St. Joan surely has all kinds of historical dates I could look at. I am not terribly familiar with the saint and so can’t deal write an extensive research article on her. This article is an exercise in validating a birth chart. But, one final chart to show this is St. Joan’s chart:

Moon opposing her Sun squaring transit Venus. Moon is observing, camera….Whenever I find a video published of someone I will see the Moon in transit. With it squaring Venus, this shows a music video. A perfect lunar opposition to her Sun the second the video is uploaded. This is Joan’s chart.

She is asked : Do you know if you are in the grace of God?

JOAN: If I am not, may God place me there; if I am, may God so keep me. I should be the saddest in all the world if I knew that I were not in the grace of God. But if I were in a state of sin, do you think the Voice would come to me? I would that every one could hear the Voice as I hear it.

The total lunar eclipse on September 7, 2025 resulted in the beatification of people who died young. Most notably, Carlo Acutis, The First Millennial Saint. Acutis’ beatification is a powerful move against Puritanism. Carlos played video games (including, the FPS, Halo), Pokemon, and other media, while still living a holy life. In other words: Movies and video games are not a sin. However, Acutis was not obsessed with these things, rather he was obsessed with building a website cataloging Eucharistic Miracles.

Pier Giorgio Frassati is the other youth beatified. The fit, mountain climbing, social activist.

A lesser known Blessed beatified is Bodi Maria Magdi. This one was a martyr of Chastity (Martyres Casitatis). She was murdered while fighting off a rape attempt.

The eclipse chart shows what’s going on. The eclipse (Moon and Sun) are both aspecting Venus (Youth) by semisextile and quincunx. The Moon is 15 degrees off ingressing Neptune (New/Saint/Catholic). Neptune is in early Aries which is ruled by Mercury thus showing Neptunian things being announced. The Sun is in a 165 degree aspect (“Johndro Aspect”) with Neptune. Together these all show youth being beatified. This lunar eclipse was visible in totality over the Vatican as a blood moon at 20:11. Where the eclipse is visible is where it is potent.

You can see the eclipse’s Medium Caeli is on Acutis’ Moon showing an important event for him. The eclipse’s Sun and Moon both aspect his Neptune, meaning the Neptunes are in 75 degree aspect. The eclipse is also in aspect with Acutis’s Sun (Glory or even “immortalized”).

BODI MARIA MAGDI

Martyres Casitatis. She was beatified in Hungary on September 6, thus she is now Blessed Bodi Maria Magdi. She was a Hungarian factory worker during the Second World War. Two Russian soldiers tried to rape her and she stabbed one with scissors. She shouted to another girl to run. “Annuska, run! You’ll be next! I’m already going to die… Mother, go away, I’m going to die now!” The soldiers shot Magdi and after the first bullet hit she raised her arms in the orans posture and said, “Lord, my kind, take me with you!”

Her death transit:

There’s a number of kill aspects on this chart. Transit Mars is in sextile to her Juno: “Shot (Mars) to Death (Juno).” Transit Juno and Saturn are conjunct each other conjunct her Venus sextiling Transit Venus, all aspecting her Mars. These transits are all showing a young girl murdered.

Magdi’s Sun and Neptune are in semisextile to the Eclipse’s Sun and conjunct the Venus. “Girl (Venus) Glorified (Sun) and Immortalized (Sun) as Saint (Neptune).”

Mary’s birthday has been celebrated since at least the 600s on September 8th. This appears to be based the Eastern Church starting its new year on the same day, as well as the date given for Mary’s conception. Whether her birthdate has been preservered or the date is based on calendar convenience, the astrology is still interesting. This astrologer is still attempting to validate whether Sept 8 or other birthdates work for Mary, and the results will be posted when something workable is found.

In the Infancy Gospel of James, Mary’s parents are Sts Joachim and Anna. They have a story similiar to Abraham and Sarah: They were infertile and an angel announces they will give birth to a child. Anna dedicates the child to God. In other words, Mary was something of an ancient Israeli nun. She was a dedicated temple virgin, devoted to the Temple from birth. Mary was concieved and born without sin and never sinned in her life.

On September 8th, the Sun is at 16 Virgo. Virgo is ruled by Jupiter. The subruler at 16 Virgo is also Jupiter, shifting from Mars at 15 degrees. The third ruler, at 16, is Neptune. Simply going down the rulerships for every September 8th we get “Birth (Sun) of Immaculate (Jupiter) Virgin (Jupiter) Saint (Neptune).” This day is also known as the “Dawn of Salvation.” We can make that in these rulerships as well: “Dawn (Sun) Immaculate (Jupiter) Virgin (Jupiter) Saves (Neptune).”

Once again, the Sun’s degree placement shows what a day is about.

Many biographers make note Gemma’s life coincided with the papacy of Pope Leo XIII. She was born and died when his papacy started and ended. St. Gemma prayed often for Pope Leo’s intentions. Pope Leo the XIII was Pope from February 20, 1878 to July 20 1903. Thus, his ordination was nineteen days before Gemma was born, and ended three months and nine days after Gemma died, with his death. Coincidences occur due to astrology. The answer for the papacy aligning with Gemma’s life is that both were born at around the same time, and thus are astrological twins, in many respects. Thus, the planetary actions are there for both to die around the same time (astrology creates sufficient events, not necessary).

Gemma was born shortly after the Capture of Rome, in 1870, which created the Prisoner in the Vatican period. Catholicism no longer had an empire. It was the end of the Papal States and the Pope having his own military. The Vatican refused the Law of Guarantees, from Italy, and thus the Pope could never leave the Vatican walls, hence terming himself “Prisoner in the Vatican.”

In mundane astrology we can look at National Birth Charts, but there is also the more ancient tradition of looking at the ruler’s ordination or birth chart. Thus, Pope Leo the XIII represents the Vatican, for Gemma.

Pope Leo XIII was the first pope of whose voice a sound recording was made. The recording can be found on a compact disc of Alessandro Moreschi's singing; a recording of his praying of the Ave Maria is available on youtube. He was also the first pope to be filmed by a motion picture camera. He was filmed by its inventor, W. K. Dickson, and blessed the camera while being filmed. Born in 1810, he is also the earliest born person to appear in a film.

Further, Pope Leo XIII re-founded the Vatican Observatory. This astrologer loves to geek out at the fact that the Vatican has an observatory. While, officially, the observatory is purely for astronomical purposes, I can’t help but think the Vatican is watching out for Jesus’ words in Luke 21:25, or aliens. But, that is pure speculation on my part.

Leo XIII also declared Anglican orders as “null and void.”

Today, Pope Leo XIII is best known for composing the St. Michael prayer (after a vison he had). It was said at the end of every low mass as a prayer of protection for the church. This prayer is no longer mandated at the end of mass, by the Church.

Sancte Míchael Archángele,

defénde nos in próelio;

contra nequítiam et insídias diáboli esto praesídium.

Imperet illi Deus, súpplices deprecámur,

tuque, Prínceps milítiae caeléstis,

Sátanam aliósque spíritus malígnos,

qui ad perditiónem animárum pervagántur in mundo,

divína virtúte, in inférnum detrúde.

Amen.

Blessed Michael, archangel,

defend us in the hour of conflict.

Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil

(may God restrain him, we humbly pray):

and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host,

by the power of God thrust Satan down to hell

and with him those other wicked spirits

who wander through the world for the ruin of souls.

Amen.

This is a great prayer against evil. It is a lay exorcism prayer, by itself. Today, the dissenters against The Church bellyache and conspiracy theory about this prayer no longer being mandated. If the prayer not being said bothers you so much, feel free to say it by yourself at the end of each mass.

The chart was built at the time of The Vatican’s surrender in the Capture of Rome. What’s interesting, is this time and day puts the Sun at 27 Virgo, one degree off Gemma’s Ascendant at 28 Virgo. If we read this chart as a country chart, this is a connection between the monarch (Pope) and Gemma. Further, Gemma’s Neptune opposes the chart’s Ascendant at 1 degree. That’s a connection between Gemma Catholicism and this period of the Vatican. Further, Saturn is at a 0 degree square with Gemma’s Saturn and Sun. This shows a “Life (Sun) of Dogma (Saturn) or Obligation (Saturn). This aspect is creating an aspect much like Gemma’s natal Sun/Saturn conjunction. This can be read as Gemma leading the life she did because of The Vatican and Catholicism.

The Sun is ingressing Pisces showing a new religious ruler. Neptune, at 5 Taurus is sextiling the Sun. “New (Neptune) Monarch (Sun).” Gemma’s birth chart also has a Sun/Neptune aspect, a semisquare, making “New (Neptune) Born (Sun).” This is an example of how the planets allow for different expressions and events on earth. The one aspect shows a birth, the other shows a new ruler. Neptune doesnt’ move between the two charts, but the Sun does. However, the two planets remain in aspect and the new degree for the Sun creates a different expression where we get Gemma.

On Pope Leo XIII’s ordination chart, his Juno is conjunct Gemma’s Mercury. This shows a compatibility between her intellect and communication with Vatican. Further, the Papacy’s Moon is at an inconjunct with Gemma’s Mercury and parallel her Juno. This can show the papacy “Watches/Observes or Scrutinizes (Moon) Gemma’s Writings (Mercury).” The parallel to Juno is interesting as showing a strong connection between the two. Moon represents Mother, which is how the Church is referred to by Catholics: “Holy Mother Church.” Thus, the Juno connection is showing Gemma tied to Holy Mother Church, and particularly Pope Leo XIII’s papacy. At Pope Leo XIII’s death, three months after Gemma died, Juno opposes Gemma’s Pluto at 1’57” orb. “End (Pluto) Ties (Juno).” Thus, there seems to be a heavy connection between Gemma and Pope Leo XIII.

Because the two died three months apart, all the planets from Saturn and out barely move. They are in the same degrees. These are the planets that govern death and the afterlife. On both death charts we have Saturn at a semisquare with Uranus. “Suddenly (Uranus) Dies (Saturn).” Interestingly, both also have Saturn trining the Moon. For Gemma, this means “Dead (Saturn) Female (Moon).” For Pope Leo XIII, this is showing “Observes (Moon) Death (Saturn)” showing how many witnessed or heard of the death of the Pope.

Gemma died on an eclipse. As stated earlier, an eclipse’s effect can reach out three to six months. So, it may also have shown Pope Leo XII’s death. There were two eclipses surrounding Gemma’s death: A new moon, solar annular eclipse at 7 Aries on 29 March 1903, at 02:00, less than two weeks before Gemma dies. The chart, by itself is interesting with so many planets at 7 degrees.

On Gemma’s chart, this eclipse is in her House 8, the house of death.

This eclipse portends death. Saturn (Death) is sextiling the Sun (Life) and Moon (Girl). It is opposed by Mars (Kill). And, for good measure, it also trines Juno (Fate). Juno appears often in death charts. Thus, we have “Dead (Saturn) Girl (Moon).” Saturn also squares Venus, which the eclipse is in a semisextile with, to give “Dead Girl.” The Mars opposition gives us a bloody (Mars) death (Saturn) and girl (Venus/Moon). Saturn is in a trine with Mars. Mars is of nails, piercing, cross, and crucifixion. So, it should be remembered that Gemma was said to have died undergoing a mystical crucifixion.

In the biwheel, we have the Eclipse’s Mercury conjunct Gemma’s Sun and Saturn in Pisces (Pluto). “Disease (Pluto) Stop (Saturn) Breathing and Life (Sun).” The Eclipse is also 15 degrees off her Sun and Saturn showing her life being eclipsed and blocked out. This same chart can show a Pope’s death since Saturn is in that 0’00” sextile with the Sun (Monarch). Pope Leo XIII died from pneumonia. Thus, Mars at 7 Libra is showing a death (Saturn) from fever (Mars).

The eclipse is on Pope Leo’s Mars opposing the eclipse’s Mars. The eclipse’s Juno is trining his Mars, and the Saturn is in sextile with his Mars. Mars shows the fever, Saturn and Juno show the death from it. This eclipse signaled Pope Leo XIII’s death.

Gemma’s death ecipse is an eclipse over Pope Leo’s Jupiter, a classic indicator for death of a monarch. Other than that, I don’t see too many strong aspects on this eclipse. While Gemma died under this eclipse, it looks like the prior, March 29th, solar annullar eclipse was the real powerhouse behind their deaths. This aligns with astrological theory that total eclipses are more “powerful” than partial eclipses.

On July 9th, Pope Leo XIV performed the first liturgical mass for the Care of Creation. It is a special liturgy to pray for the planet and enviroment. The mass has a number of special use liturgies, the most notable and common being for weddings and funerals. There are also masses for various blessings, prayers, healings, and exorcisms.

Man was created as a biological machine to care for God’s Holy Mountain garden (Eden). After being split into male and female this task was reaffirmed and reaffirmed again after being expelled from Eden and expanded to the Earth. Noah continued this task by saving all natural life on earth, and the task was once again reaffirmed after The Flood was over. We are supposed to take care of the earth. It’s what humanity was created to do.

The mass was created (Uranus) during the Uranus ingress into Gemini. Gemini is ruled by Venus. “Care (Venus) for Creation (Uranus).” Venus is also conjunct Uranus at a 5’04” orb, to give the same message. The Ascendant is also squaring Uranus in all this, showing “Care for Creation” as the identityty of this mass. The medium caeli is also moving conjunct with Uranus. Neptune (Nature) is just coming out of a station and going retrograde. And Saturn (tabernacle, or things below, or priests) is preparing to station in three days.

The Sun is in 105 degree aspect with the Neptune-Saturn conjunct (which are in sextile with Uranus). Aspects with the Sun show the Day’s (Sun) events. “Care (Venus) of Creation (Uranus) Above (Neptune) and Below (Saturn).” “Love/Care (Venus) for Nature (Neptune).” The Saturn-Neptune conjunct in Aries (ruled by Mercury) shows a “Tabernacle (Saturn) Petitioned (Mercury) for Nature (Neptune).”

Jupiter squares Neptune. “Praying (Jupiter) for Nature (Neptune).” Jupiter is also parallel the Sun. “Day (Sun) of Praying (Jupiter) for Nature (Neptune).”

St. Aphrodisius was martyred by beheading. After losing his head, he picked it up and continued walking. Thus, he is named as a cephalophore. These are saints who were beheaded and carried their own head. St. Aphrodisius is the only one I can find with a given birth date.

Aphrodisius’ beheading is given a traditional date of 28 April 68. Right away it’s affirmed by showing a kill transit of an exact Mars oppose Saturn.

St. Aphrodisius is also given a birth date. The way to affirm it is by biwheeling it with the death date. However, a death must show in multiple charts to validate the birth date is real. I look at the prenatal chart and its progression to the death date.

The conception chart has transit Mars and Saturn in a 3’33” orb with Aphrodisius’ prenatal Mercury. “Death (Saturn) by Severed (Mars) Head (Mercury).”

Progressing the conception chart to the beheading gives us this:

Secondary progressions, you must look at the Sun placement. Sun on Uranus and aspecting Saturn and Mars and squaring Algol. Uranus shows up repeatedly in the charts. It means “division” or “seperate.” Algol (“The Demon Star”) is associated with beheading. See my post on “The Pope’s Executioner” for an affirmation of Algol with beheading.

With the birth date validated we can look at the transits on it. Rather than use Aphrodisius’ birthplace for the Johndro chart, I use his death place. I’ve found, when looking at murders, that the birth locality chart angles are more meaningful in the death place than birth where the death is violent. Here, you can see all birth locality angles conjunct a transitting planet.

St. Aphrodisius’ Uranus is conjunct Algol at a 1’57” orb (Algol is 28 Aries). Aphrodisius is undergoing a tight Uranus square at this time, meaning transitting Uranus is at a square with Algol. Uranus + Algol = “Beheaded man Walking.”

The transits are Uranus, Saturn, Mars, and Mercury all aspecting each other and Algol. “Walking (Uranus) Priest (Saturn) with Severed (Mars) Head (Mercury).”

A further affirmation of the natal chart is that the nearest eclipses on the beheading chart all align with the nearest eclipses on the birth chart:

The Beheading’s nearest prior eclipse (a hybrid eclipes) squares Aphrodisius’ eclipse while conjuncting his Neptune and opposing his Sun. The other prior eclipse (partial) is trining his other prenatal eclipse.

Why do you deceive yourself, and not perceive that I have found the thing which I prayed to obtain at your hands? For I rejoice greatly in having been deemed worthy to be admitted to the participation of the sufferings of God's martyrs. For indeed, for this very cause, I stood up and spoke with them, in order that by some means or other they might make me a sharer in their sufferings, so that I also might obtain a portion in the kingdom of heaven together with them. Because so long as I had no share in their sufferings, I could not be a partaker with them in their salvation. Behold therefore now, how, on account of the future recompense, I stand at present before you with great exultation, because I have obtained the means of drawing near to my God, even before those just men, whom but a little while ago I entreated to intercede for me.

St. Theodosius was a 17 year old Lebanese girl. She was beautiful. Her and other Catholics were brought before a tribunal. She asked the other Catholics to pray for her, and this ticked off governor Urbanus. So, he singled her out, because she was young and pretty, and ordered her to offer sacrifice. She refused to offer sacrifice in front of governor Urbanus. So, he had her tied to a post and tortured with iron combs to the point her organs were visible. She was visibly happy at this suffering and said the above when Urbanus spoke to her. This got the onlookers laughing. Urbanus got angrier and ordered her thrown into the sea where she met her end. His anger was spent on her, and so the other Catholics he simply ordered to work in the mines. This occurred on April 2, 307, in Caesarea.

Right away you can see the Mars-Venus conjunct: “Torture (Mars) Girl (Venus).” In late Pisces, it shows a particularly gruesome torture. The Mars-Venus conjunct is also opposing Neptune: “Girl (Venus) Killed (Mars) in Sea (Neptune).”

But, I’m not a fan of looking at transit charts by themselves. I want Theodosia’s chart. All we got is her age and place of birth. That gives us a few planets to work with: the outer planets.

Her Saturn is parallel transit Neptune and being opposed by it: “Dead at Sea”; Watery Grave”; “Bottom (Saturn) of Ocean (Neptune).” Her Saturn is also trining transit Uranus: “Torturtuous Death.” Her Uranus is conjunct the Moon: “Girl Tortured” or “View Torture.” Her Uranus is also in a 165 aspect (“Johndro aspect”) to the transitting Mars-Venus conjunct (as would be the transitting Moon): “Girl (Venus) Killed (Mars) and Tortured (Uranus).”

This was a quick one. I will be doing more ancient martyrs. The Church may not have their birthdates, but they always have their death dates.

Like all the cardinals, I do not have a birth time.

One of my favorite things to do is to take the cardinals and biwheel their chart with Rome’s. It doesn’t mean much, as they all have strong connections to Rome, but it’s fun to look at.

What’s more fun is to put the Conclave on Rome’s chart:

“Announce (Mercury) Ruler (Sun).” “New (Neptune) Election (Uranus).”

When the white smoke appeared, the Ascendant was approaching Prevost’s Neptune, if not already conjunct. Neptune is Catholicism. Transitting Mercury is opposing his Neptune to show an announcement. Sun is opposing his Saturn. Saturn is “priest.” So, this can be read as an important or even “King Priest.”

Black Moon is on his Nepune. This is a pattern that holds for most every papal election, and future pope priestly ordinations that I found. I don’t know what it means yet.

On the chart of the papacy, Neptune ingresses Aries. Aries is ruled by Mercury. “New (Neptune) Teaching (Mercury).” Neptune is conjunct Saturn in Pisces. “Teach New Dogma (Saturn).” Pisces is ruled by Pluto. So the new teachings may be of Plutonian things: Demons, Hell, Sin, or some Mystery.

This new papacy will be teaching new things.

I tried looking at the seven different cardinals’ charts to predict the next pope. I cannot see anything dramatic in their charts upcoming. If any of those seven are elected, it shows I got some learning to do. My best guess is Cardinal Tagle due to him having a number of planets ingress on his secondary progression, including Neptune.

What I will predict is that the new pope will be a dramatic change for the Church, and that his election will be quick, likely the same day of the conclave. The new change is due to Neptune ingressing Aries. A new cycle for the Catholic Church is beginning (Neptune rules Catholicism). This does not mean dramatic reversals in Church teaching. Church dogma cannot change (for example, no pope can say Jesus is not God). Neither can infallible doctrine. Popes can reveal and elucidate teachings, but reversals rarely (some say never) happen. Popes also give guidance and teachings on new issues in society, for example advances in reproductive technology. The difference with Pope Francis, that the cardinals are saying they would like to continue, is his treating the Papacy as a pastoral and outreach position, rather than purely as a teaching position (something Pope Benedict XII did as a continuation of his prior position as the Vatican’s chief theologian).
I expect the next pope to be extremely vocal. His election will occur with Neptune on the most Mercurial part of the Zodiac: 1 Aries. He will be vocal and teaching alot. This may mean a pope more familiar and comfortable with media.

Neptune is at 75 degree aspect with Vatican’s Sun. The two Suns are in semisextile with Transit Sun at a 0’00 75 degree aspect with the Vatican’s AntiVertex. This shows the new day (Sun) of the New (Neptune) Pope (Sun).

This is a quick post to get something out there before the conclave.

Last week I posted excerpts from conversations I had with my astrology gc as Pope Francis was hospitalized. What I omitted was my immediate prediction that Pope Francis would die shortly based off the eclipse.

The immediate clue for me, if not shouting from the stars, was the eclipse squaring Pope Francis’ Sun. The Eclipse’ Sun was conjunct Saturn which was just exiting a Saturn Return for the Pope (he was hospitalized a month before during the Saturn Return).

Here, Saturn is conjunct Venus with both squaring his Sun. “End (Saturn) Beloved (Venus) Life (Sun).”

Saturn is at a 75 degree angle to his Mercury with a perfect 0’00” orb. “Stop (Saturn) Breathing (Mercury).”

The Neptune ingress is powerful. Aries is ruled by Mercury. Thus, we have, “New (Neptune) Head (Mercury).” The Neptune ingress, by itself, entering Aries signals a new era for the Catholic Church because Neptune represents Catholcism. And the Aries Point represents a new cycle. We also have a timing of the angles. Pope Francis’ death happened on The Vatican’s Medium Caeli and land on Transit Juno (Death).

Sun ingresses Taurus and conjunct Vatican’s Venus. The first half of Taurus is ruled by Mercury. The rulers at 1 Taurus are Mercury, Mars, and Saturn. “Announce (Mercury) Beloved (Venus) Pope (Sun) Stop (Saturn) Action (Mars).”

When Pope Francis was hospitalized, I took to the charts to see what was going on. The past month’s total lunar eclipse was taking its toll on him.

One of Johndro's many eclipse techniques is to set the eclipse chart for the native's place of birth. If I do that with Pope Francis, the Eclipse square to his Sun is even tighter.

Mercury conjunct Saturn = "Stop Breathing."

Pope Francis started coughing and vomiting and was put on a ventilator right when the Moon hit his Saturn.

It's this part of his chart that keeps getting activated. 16 Pisces is when Pisces starts getting double Plutonic rulerships. "Seeing Bedridden Catholic Father Vomit."

The Sun is sextiling his Mercury. "Day of Sickly Breathing."

And now his release from the hospital.

Moon, in a broad square with Transit Uranus, enters a 165 angle with Pluto and conjunct Mercury and semisextile with Natal Moon. “Sees (Moon) News (Mercury) Release (Uranus) Hospital (Pluto) to Home (Moon).” Marses are in square, and Transit Mars moves to a 0 orb 75 degree aspect with Natal Uranus (Release).

St. Catherine of Sienna is one of the few doctors of the Church. This title has been given to only 37 out of the countless saints. The title is reserved to saints who left behind voluminous writings that have heavily influenced the Church. The premier examples are St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas. During her life, starting in her 20s, she was already heavily influencing the Church. She dictated letters to the rulers and papacy asking for peace between the Papal States and the rulers. She also asked for the papacy, then in exile, to return from France to Rome. She was so influential and powerful that she was a threat to many. She has had multiple assassination attempts on her life.

St. Catherine’s premier work is The Dialogues. These are purported to be transcriptions from her dialogues with God. Thus, they are said to be the words of God to St. Catherine. She was a mystic who has had visions of God and Jesus and saints starting when she was a child.

She has a Venus-Juno conjunct. Juno is Saturnian. So, this is showing she’s a “reserved girl”, “hidden beauty”, “hermit girl.” It also shows a “fasting girl.” This focus on fasting and penance is also reflected in Saturn semisextiling her Sun. Sun-Mercury conjunct shows she was an intelligent person, especially in early Aries (Mercurial).

Jupiter, Pluto, and her Sun are in an even closer conjunct. “Holy (Jupiter) Mystic (Pluto) Life (Sun).”

THE INVISIBLE STIGMATA

Transiting Venus conjunct Natal Mars = Wounded Girl. In Pisces, “Catholic (Neptune) Mystic (Pluto) Girl (Venus) Invisible (Saturn) Wounds/Crucifixion (Mars).” Mars conjunct Neptune is “Wounds (Mars) in Ecstasy (Neptune); or perhaps “Transparent (Neptune) Wounds.”

Both the Moon and Ceres are on St. Catherine’s birth locality vertex. Ceres, I suspect to be lunar influences. They both also are in aspect to her natal Moon. So, there is heavy lunar influence on this day. Transit Moon in Cancer opposing Ceres in Capricorn can be “Wounded (Mars) Apparition (Moon) from Heaven (Neptune) Appears (Ceres).”

BEDRIDDEN

St. Catherine’s fasting intensified and she was unable to eat food. On February 26 she could no longer use her legs. Pluto is conjunct her birth locality Medium Caeli and semisextile her Pluto. Pluto is “bedridden” and “lame.” Saturn is semisextile Venus in transit “paralyzed (Saturn) Girl (Venus) + Day/Life (Sun).

DEATH

Time of death is unknown.

At her death, we have the classic death aspect of Mercury + Saturn: “Stop (Saturn) Breathing (Mercury).” This transit conjunct is on her Uranus to show a sudden aberration. Transit Sun is conjunct Juno and Venus. “Girl’s (Venus) Life (Sun) End (Juno).” Transit Moon is opposing her Birth Locality ascendant and squaring the Sun-Venus-Juno conjunct. Moon is observing, it can also be “home” or “girl.”

MYSTICAL MARRIAGE

St. Catherine had a mystical marriage to Jesus. Jesus’ natal Juno is conjunct St. Catherine’s Saturn. Juno is a Saturnian object, and so we have a marriage hard aspect. I will also note, while we’re looking at this biwheel, that Jesus’ Uranus is conjunct Catherine’s Mars. Uranus-Mars hard aspects are associated with the stigmata.

This is an analysis by Ian Murphy. My astrological studies are preoccupied at the moment, but will come out with stigmatist post soon, while the major project is due in mid-march at the Lunar Eclipse.

Sun is sextile Saturn showing this is the day a building is built and dedicated. Saturn in Virgo shows it is a religious building. Further, the building was dedicated hours before a New Moon, an auspicious time for religious purposes, but also showing something new and completed.

Ian has an interesting take on the chart, due to finding a large amount of Plutonic rulerships in the degrees.

Ian: "what do you think these riddles mean as a whole? Explain this detailed summary of events."

Chatgpt o1: "These riddles describe a grand site of spiritual significance that draws all kinds of people: those seeking solace and those riddled with doubt. Pilgrims arrive, hoping to find divine answers or relief from personal woes, yet rumors of physical contagion hover in the background. Tales abound of visitors unwittingly infecting one another through unguarded interactions. While some remain steadfast in their beliefs, others are disenchanted by the apparent hypocrisy of those in power, who sometimes misuse funds and exploit the faithful’s vulnerability. Wealthy elites, allegedly consumed by personal excesses, fail to recognize any need for repentance, exacerbating the public’s growing skepticism. Simultaneously, critics question the value of prayer and query whether the deity in question truly intervenes in mortal affairs. Despite such doubts, numerous individuals persist in worship, clinging to the promise of salvation or revelation. They believe that unmasking evil influences is essential to preserving whatever purity remains. This friction between unshakable faith and worldly cynicism underscores the complexity of a place that is both a beacon of hope for the devout and a cauldron of corruption for the disillusioned. At its core, the narrative highlights how human frailties and spiritual pursuits frequently collide in even the holiest surroundings, leaving onlookers to puzzle over whether devotion or doubt ultimately prevails."

The Holy Innocents are the sainted infants and children killed by Herod in fear of Jesus. They are liturgically sung as martyrs, but, are not really martyrs in that the children did not die for the faith. They were killed because they were born around the time of Jesus because Jesus was born. So, how were they canonized? There are two possible reasons: One is that they are a divine exception to the normal rules of martydom. Another is that this is the Church and Heaven showing that children two years and under go to Heaven when they die (a saint is simply someone in Heaven).

The birth of Jesus is dated by finding the death of Herod. Herod’s death is written as occurring shortly after the massacre of the Holy Innocents, in Matthew 2. The ancient historian Josephus, wrote Herod died shortly after a lunar eclipse, but before the Passover of that year. Historians who refuse to date anything as making sense with the Gospels, use a partial lunar eclipse in 5 BC as being the date. Smart historians who knows nobody notices partial eclipses and are not afraid of dating things to agree with the Gospels use the 1 BC total lunar eclipse.

Herod ordered the death of all male Jews 2 years old and younger. This only makes sense if the magi reported to Herod the birth ocurred two years ago. This works with the 3 BC birth date of Jesus.

Jupiter semisextile Juno = Death (Juno) of King (Jupiter). Juno is in trine with Venus = “Death of Children or Innocents.”

Mars-Saturn opposition is a transit of death and killing. Of note, Herod ordered the execution of his son, Antipater, days before Herod died. Mars-Saturn can also be “Injure/Stab (Mars) Self (Saturn).” Josephus records that Herod was overcome with despair and stabbed himself in a suicide attempt.

Josephus records that Herod ordered the death of prominent Jewish leaders before dying. This aligns with the Gospel account of Herod ordering the children to be killed for fear of a new Jewish king.

The feast days of the octave Christmas were chosen for liturigical reasons, rather than historical. The historical celebrations range from various dates in Christmastide to the Epiphany. This does indicate, with the Gospel account being so prompt, that Herod’s death and the massacre, and the eclipse were quite close in time, perhaps days or a month apart.

The feast day of December 28 being the memorial is seen in Johndro’s rulership:

Sun at 7 Capricorn is Neptune, Mars, Saturn, Venus. “Catholic (Neptune) Day (Sun) of Children (Venus) Slaughtered (Mars) to Death (Saturn).” This is not to say the massacre ocurred on this day. Rather, the degree rulers plus the Sun (Day) allows for December 28 to be the memorial. The Sun acts as a light on such events.

Jesus was born in Bethlehem (literally “bread town”) inside a cavern home where he was placed into a feeding trough due to crowding in the cavern home. Jesus later taught that eternal life is through consuming him as bread. An interesting note is that much of fairy and alien lore has bread offerings (often with wine). The documentation is all well past the time of Jesus, so, it may all be a mock Christ communion. But, I think it shows Jesus to be a part of The Other that he instituted a religion based on consuming God as bread.1 Jesus was born to a teenage Mary who carried Jesus in her womb for nine months. Jesus being inside of Mary was her salvation, so, Jesus must be inside us for our salvation. This is accomplished by us eating him.

Jesus birth was to a virgin. He never exited Mary through the birth canal. Rather, he appeared outside her, thus preserving her virginity in every sense (before, during, after birth; virginitas ante partum, in partu, post partum). This is recorded in the Protoevangelium of James and attested to by the early Christians. The Catholic Church, in Lumen Gentium 57, reaffirmed that Mary was a virgin during and after birth.

Here, is where I may be asked why I chose the Christmas birth date. The reason is “Why not?” There are many alternative dates, but they all start with the baseless assumption that the Christmas date is wrong. The alternative dates seem to be a response to the “Christmas is pagan” line. Any claim of anything Catholic being pagan is not something I take seriously, since this is the response invented by protestants in the Protestant Revolt in the 1500s. Instead, I want to know why the only tradition for Jesus’ birth date is the Christmas one. There is no line saying Jesus was born in September, or April or anything other than Christmas.

I do not have the education to make a historical or chronological argument for Jesus’ birthdate. Ancient and Biblical chronology is a steep, difficult subject. Rather, I am making the argument based on astrology. However, you can find academics supporting the Christmas date. You can look there, not here, for historical and chronological reasons for the Christmas date. Such articles are few, but they are out there (the majority date is September 11).

I started with the Christmas date for Jesus, poked around with other dates, but continually found the Christmas date to be astrologically strong. It is so strong, I am certain Jesus was born Christmas in 3 BC. My colleague, Ian Murphy, was impressed with the chart, as well, and made his own read in his own style of the chart, previously published here.

Moon-Jupiter = Virgin Mother; King Appears; Godly Bread; Immaculate Conception

Uranus-Mars conjunct = Performs (Mars) Miracles (Uranus), Performs (Mars) Resurrection (Uranus)

Capricorn Ingress Sun = Savior (Neptune) Born (Sun).

Neptune semisquare Sun = Savior (Neptune) Born (Sun).

Moon-Pluto semisquare and parallel = Mystical (Pluto) Bread (Moon).

Mercury-Moon trine = Called (Perfect [+Jupiter]) Bread

Validating these ancient charts are crucial. The chart must work with other charts. Charts are validated through important dates. But, with the ancient charts, we do not have known dates. However, with Jesus we do have important known dates. His various mystical marriages. Marriage is always an important date. With Jesus, we have a few of them with known dates. All of these have a Juno conjunct. Juno, a Saturnian asteroid, moves faster than Saturn, so this helps affirm a much narrower date than if it was Saturn conjuncts.

St. Catherine of Sienna is one of, if not the first mystical marriage to Jesus recorded. Here, we can see her Saturn (Marriage) conjunct Jesus’ Juno. It may also be noted the stigmatist has her Mars conjunct Jesus’ Uranus and Mars.

For Gemma Galgani, who had an intense devotion to Jesus, was a stigmatist, and had a mystical marriage to Jesus, her Moon opposes Jesus’s Sun and her Juno semisextile’s Jesus’ Juno. Her Juno is conjunct the Crucified Jesus’ Juno (Jesus always appeared to Gemma crucified).

St. Rose of Lima is another with a mystical marriage to Jesus. Her Juno is conjunct Jesus’ Juno.

CRUCIFIXION

I will deal with the death and ressurection charts in the future. For now, I am only using the death chart to affirm the natal chart. Jesus gets a death transit with the eclipse. The Sun transits exactly between his Saturn and Juno, semisextiling both. “God (Sun) is dead (Saturn-Juno).” The Moon quincunxes both while opposing Sun. So, we get an observation (Moon) of the death. We can also read it as “Bread (Moon) of Life (Sun) Dies (Saturn-Juno).”

The transitting Ascendant is semisquare transitting Saturn to show the time of death.

There’s a million other things, but this should suffice to show that I have the correct charts. I will cover the Ressurection in another post and will not show the chart yet.

GALACTIC CENTER

The Galactic Center is a fascinating point. I’m still studying it for natal charts. St. Gemma was born with her MC-IC axis on it, for example. I have my Ascendant on it. Best I can figure, is that on angles it acts as an information conduit or a spiritual conduit. But, in mundane astrology, the Galactic Center is a timer for epochs.

Jesus was born with an anaretic Galatic Center. Obviously, this is far from a unique placement for him. The Galactic Center takes 2,000 years to traverse a sign. Here, it is prepared to leave Scorpio in a few decades. I will leave it for a future subscriber post to reveal what happens when it ingresses into Sagitarius and what it may mean when it finally leaves Sagitarius.

Jesus’ Galactic Center is at a semisquare with Venus. Perhaps this shows a Child (Venus) from Heaven. The Galatic Center anciently was known as the gate between the living and the dead. Neptune is also at a 15 degree aspect (“quin”) with the Galactic Center. This may indicate a Savior (Neptune) from Heaven. Neptune is slow enough to be parked there for a minute, so this is more of a mundane astrological aspect than a natal. It might be showing now is the time a Savior is born.
