Recently, Casey DeSantis, Gov Ron’s wife, wore a green dresses straight out of The Handmaid’s Tale. It’s the dress the commander’s wives wear in the story. I mentioned it to Rob and he replied, “That’s a sychronicity.” Meaning, that it fit the governor’s agenda of autocratic rule, abortion ban after 6 weeks, banning of books, targeting trans and gays and any other group he personally objects to, taking over liberaal New College of of Florid and turning it into a religious right college.
But I think it was as deliberate as Melania Trump wearing that jacket with I DON’T CARE ACROSS the back when she went to the border to visit immigrant kids in cages. Casey radiates the part.

Labels added to this visible-light Hubble Space Telescope image of Jupiter point out several atmospheric features on the planet, including a ‘brown barge’, four hot spots (which appear bright in the infrared image from Gemini North), a superstorm, the Great Red Spot, and Red Spot Jr. (also known as Oval BA).
First, happy birthday to Rob! And lucky Rob! He’s a Taurus with a Taurus rising and today Jupiter enters his sign. This is what that means:
Today, at 1:20 PM EDT and 10:20 AM Pacific, Jupiter enters Taurus, where it will be until May 25 2024. Jupiter is the planet that represents expansion, luck, good fortune. It rules Sagittarius, co-rules Pisces, and governs higher education, the higher mind, synchronicity, foreign countries, cultures, and people. Its year-long transit through Taurus should benefit all earth signs and water signs Pisces and Cancer. You Scorpios will be experiencing a Jupiter opposition, which means you take on too many responsibilities that realistically, you may find it difficult to juggle everything!
If your natal Jupiter is in Taurus, then you’ll be entering a Jupiter return, which occurs every 11.6 years – call it 12. The last time Jupiter was in Taurus was in 2011-2012., so look back at that period and think about what was happening in your life then. Did your life expand in some way? A move, a baby, a marriage, a huge raise… The Jupiter return year is usually terrific – prosperous and expansive.
Whatever sign you are, take a look at your natal chart to see where Taurus falls. You can get a copy of your natal chart here. The house where Taurus falls in your chart will be the area that undergoes the most expansion and good fortune. If it falls on your ascendant, the doorway to your chart, the place where you entered this life, you’re in for a double treat. So Rob, it’s going to be fun!
Here’s a quick reference on what the houses govern.

Tomorrow, May 14 at 11:17 p.m. Eastern and 8:17 p.m. Pacific, Mercury turns direct in Taurus. I don’t know about you, but this retro has been a monster for me. Snafus in communications, revisions on a novel, missed opportunities. Whenever some oddball thing went askew, I’d mutter, “Merc retro. Deep breaths.”
Sometimes it helped, most of the time it didn’t.
The good news is the next Mercury retro doesn’t happen again until August 23- September 15 and it will be in earth sign Virgo.
Then, the 4th Mercury retro of the year begins on December 12 and takes us into the new year. It ends on January 1, 2024, in Sagittarius.


Politics often deliver some interesting synchronicities. On May 10, George Santos was indicted on 13 federal counts that included 7 counts of wire fraud, three counts of money laundering, one count of theft of public funds and two counts of making materially false statements to the House of Representatives, according to the Justice Department.
The theft of public funds involved unemployment beginning in 2020 by applying for unemployment benefits that were made available to out-of-work people during the pandemic.
According to NBC News:
“Santos applied for the money even though he was employed as the regional director of a Florida-based investment firm, where he earned an annual salary of $120,000, according to the indictment.
“He falsely claimed that he had been unemployed since March 2020, the Justice Department alleged. From then to April 2021, when Santos was receiving a salary, he “falsely affirmed each week that he was eligible for unemployment benefits when he was not,” it said.
“As a result, Santos allegedly fraudulently received more than $24,000 in unemployment insurance benefits,” the Justice Department said.
Now here’s the trickster synchro. Santos recently co-sponsored a bill, the Protecting Taxpayers and Victims of Unemployment Fraud Act, which aims to recover fraudulent unemployment payments made during the pandemic.
Apparently, thee universe really does have a sense of humor!
Sometimes the dark trickster is so in your face it leaves you nearly breathless.
Back in 2013, the news about the death of Paul Walker, 40, was all over Reddit and other sites.
Walker starred in the Fast and Furious franchise, the first of which was released in 2001.
Walker played an undercover detective in 5 of the 6 films about illegal street racing and heists. He died as a passenger in a friend’s Porsche while en route to a charity event to aid Filipino victims of the recent typhoon. Apparently, the driver was speeding in an area known for racing and struck a streetlight. The car was demolished and engulfed in flames.
The first fire rescue team to get there pronounced both men dead within two minutes of arriving.
It’s easy to see the eerie similarities between Walker’s fictional life and the real life incident that ended his life. When these two worlds collide for actors, the defining event can be startling and deadly. Since actors essentially live the role they are playing, even if for a short time, the stage is literally set for them to attract synchronicity through the dark trickster. While these occurrences are rare, when they do occur, they shock us and we might pause to wonder about the deeper mechanisms of reality. Here are some other tragic incidents involving actors that reflected their work:
Christopher Reeves. His last role before the horseback riding accident that paralyzed him was that of a paraplegic. A few hours after the first news conference about his accident, HBO aired—as previously scheduled—a film starring Reeve that had debuted only a week earlier: Above Suspicion. Reeve played a police officer who was paralyzed after being shot in the line of duty.
Brandon Lee. He died while filming a scene in his last movie, The Crow. In the scene, he discovers his girlfriend being raped by thugs who kill both of them. Funboy, one of the film’s villains, fired a gun at Brandon’s character as he walked into his apartment. The gun was loaded with blanks, but a dummy cartridge had lodged in the barrel and the detonation of a blank propelled it through the barrel, killing Brandon at point-blank range.
Bruce Lee. Eighteen years earlier, Brandon’s father died on the set of another movie, ironically called, The Death Game. Both Bruce and Brandon were playing characters who died and then returned to life. Both deaths were ruled accidental, though highly suspicious. The dark trickster was present at the end of both of their lives.
David Carradine. He played a deadly swordsman, the head of a family of assassins, in Quenten Taratino’s Kill Bill movies, and died in 2004 in a luxury hotel room in Bangkok during the filming Kill Bill Volume 2. He supposedly hung himself, but may have died accidentally in a dangerous sexual act.
Heath Ledger. The dark trickster also came to play in the death of Ledger. At age 28, he was already a legend, an Oscar nominee for his role in Brokeback Mountain. He had just completed filming his role as the Joker in The Dark Knight. The movie made box office history, Ledger was praised for his portrayal of the dark character and won an Oscar for his performance. Unfortunately, he died of an accidental overdose of prescription medication six months before the release of the movie. Ironically, Ledger played the role of the dark trickster himself.
Life imitating art: another version of dark trickster.

Not long after we had author and UFO researcher Preston Dennett on our podcast, I asked Preston where he’d moved when he’d left L.A. Turns out he’d moved to Blue Ridge, Georgia, where my sister and her husband, Neal, have a weekend home. I told him we were going to be visiting them in a few weeks and suggested we get together for lunch. The synchronicity struck me as significant. Of all the places he might have moved, it just happened to be this rural town in Georgia where we were headed.
So on the Sunday of our visit, we met Preston at a local restaurant in downtown Blue Ridge. Surprisingly, Dolly Saffron was with him. She’s a lifelong abductee featured in Preston’s book Symmetry, and her story is fascinating. Dolly has an eidectic memory and recalls being abducted for the first time when she was 10 months old – being floated out of her crib. Since then, she has had numerous abductions and that included being taught how to fly a UFO craft.

Yes, it sounds out there. But when you hear Dolly talk about her experiences, she exudes such authenticity that it’s difficult to dismiss what she says. But I hope she’s wrong about what she foresees about the planet’s future.According to Dolly, the aliens – whom Whitley Strieber calls the Visitors – have left our galaxy because our planet is about to enter a period of dire chaos due to climate change.
People will get “crazier,” food shortages will become the norm, the rising oceans will obliterate coastal cities and the planet essentially will become uninhabitable. Dolly sees this beginning in about two years, when we will be forced into survival mode, and continuing for eight years. She and Preston have a greenhouse and are now starting to grow their own food. They are preparing to live off the grid. At the end of this period, the aliens will return, Dolly said, and take survivors to another galaxy. Earth will be uninhabitable.
When I related all this to my sister, who is on the fence about UFOs, her response was: “I don’t want to live out the rest of my life in survival mode.”
Neither do we.
I emailed Whitley about meeting Preston and Dolly and mentioned that I hoped her timing was wrong. He replied thast predictions about timing have been wrong and that the point isn’t about survivors being picked up, but about the evolution of souls.
Given all the chaos and violence in the world, the evolution of souls sounds like a welcome change
