The Power of an Image

Posted on December 18, 2019 by Trish and Rob

Anyone who is even vaguely familiar with The Handmaid’s Tale – book or TV series – recognizes this iconic image. These are the handmaid’s in Margaret Atwood’s brilliant and visionary novel, The Handmaid’s Tale. The fertile women. The ones whose lives and bodies have been handed over to the wealthy and powerful men in Gilead, a Dystopian nightmare town in New England.

This evening, they appeared at an impeachment march in West Palm Beach, just strolled through the crowd in front of Senator Rick Scott’s office. They didn’t carry any signs, didn’t shout slogans, didn’t boo every time a trump truck circled the area. They simply moved along silently, not raising their heads,  and stepped up onto the low wall and stood there, heads bowed, a powerful statement.

Margaret Atwood’s now classic novel was published 34 years ago, in 1985. Given the direction of things for the last three years, and how close we may get to the world of Gilead, this one probably qualifies as precognition.

Here’s another image. The caboose is unhinged! Happy Impeachment Day!

An Art Garfunkel Synchro

Posted on December 16, 2019 by Trish and Rob

   

Our dog park is an interesting place. I’ve written about it before in terms of some of the synchronicities we’ve experienced there or that other people have told us about.  People are from all walks of life, particularly during the equestrian season when the competitors arrive from Europe and South America to compete for the big stakes. Regardless of who you are or where you’re from, if you’re at the dog park, it’s because you have a dog, love dogs, and know this is the best park in the area for pooches. Five acres to run around in.

On November 5, 2019, our friend Arlene, who owns a Wheaton – Riley – and a collie, Izzy – had some sad news. Riley, 14, has a grapefruit-sized, malignant tumor in her stomach. Arlene isn’t going to put the dog through surgery and isn’t going to have her put down as long as she isn’t in pain and continues to eat etc. We both agreed that Riley will let her know when it’s time. Because it’s so depressing to talk our beloved pets nearing the end of their lives, we changed the subject.

Arlene, who hails from Manhattan, mentioned that a friend of hers was tutored in trigonometry by Art Gunkuckle when she was in high school. She apparently had a terrible trig teacher, so she and friend hired Art. Arlene’s friend ended up getting a 96 on her test, so it looks like Art knew his math! Arlene  used to work as a legal aid in an entertainment law firm and has some fascinating stories about various celebrities she met during her tenure there.

“How old was Art at the time?” I asked.

“I don’t know.”

“Google,” I said.

And she did. It turns out that Art Garfunkel was born in 1941 and today, November 5, is his 78th birthday.

“Synchro,” I exclaimed.

“Figures,” she murmured.

Later, I wondered about this synchro. On the day she learns that Riley has this malignant tumor, we got into this discussion about Garfunkel and discover it’s his birthday. Is there a deeper message about the state of Art Garfunkel’s health? His mortality? It’s certainly possible that the synchro is just a simple thing, that’s what I hope.  We’ll see…

Phoning it in from the Past

Posted on December 14, 2019 by Trish and Rob

When people make predictions about how things will be in the future, there’s no way to verify or dismiss such comments until that future arrives. Here’s a case that clearly sounds prophetic. Was this person tuning into the future or just making a wild guess, like those in the ‘50s and ‘60s who predicted flying cars by the ‘80s and humans living on Mars by the turn of the century? That’s hard to say, but here it is, an uncanny prediction from the pre-computer era.

Full Moon in Gemini

Posted on December 12, 2019 by Trish and Rob

The full moon in Gemini ET occurs on December 12; other time zones are looking at December 11. This full moon is all about communication, travel, learning, social media, and socializing. It’s excellent for air signs – Gemini, Libra, Aquarius – and for fire signs – Aries, Leo, Sagittarius. But every sign will benefit in some way.

Full moons illuminate, brings issues and situations to the forefront of our awareness. What’s interesting about this chart is the planets and points in the 4th house – all in earth sign Capricorn. From left to right, those symbols are: Jupiter (luck), the South Node (our comfort zone), Saturn (structure), Venus ($, romance, love), and Pluto (power).  Notice that Venus and Pluto are only a degree apart and Saturn is one to two degrees apart from the other two. This qualifies as a conjunction and indicates that it’s an excellent time to put your plans and goals into forward motion.

Notice also that Jupiter at 2 degrees Capricorn in the 4th house forms a beautiful angle to that lone planet in the 8th house – Uranus at 3 degrees Taurus. The 8th house rules other people’s money and resources, royalties, insurance, as well as the paranormal. Uranus rules our individuality, genius, and sudden, unexpected events that seem to be appear out of the blue. When Jupiter and Uranus form a trine to each other (120 degrees), luck and prosperity appear suddenly. Hint: buy several scratch-offs and a lottery ticket.

In the masthead, click on your sun sign and find out how this full moon impacts you.

Alex Miller’s Asteroid Astrology and Predictions

Posted on December 10, 2019 by Trish and Rob

I’m a real fan of Alex Miller’s asteroid astrology. He was contacted by the Daily Beast about his take on the 2020 election. So were several other astrologers, but  Alex’s take is the most specific.

“Saturn and Pluto have been playing tag for most of 2019, and will come into exact alignment in January 2020, just as the impeachment trial begins in the Senate,” astrologer and author Alex Miller wrote in an email. “At the same time, in late December, the president will be receiving an exact hit from a solar eclipse on his birth asteroid Whitehouse. This alignment could conceivably spell the end of his presidency.”

Here’s the link to the entire article. What I find so interesting about Alex’s take is the specificity.

We recently have gotten comments from a supposedly black woman, Kellynkerrigan, who seems to be a trump supporter. You can find her comments under the last two posts.We don’t  have any desire to argue with ardent trumpies and finally blocked her from commenting here It’s not something we like doing, given the 1st amendment:

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

One of her comments:

I didn’t come here to defend Trump, and I have no inclination to start my own blog. You keep bringing him up, so I keep responding. If you don’t want to talk about politics, then stop making your blog about politics. It’s not why I come here, and I’d wager it’s not why most of your other readers come here either. Stick to what you know.

But if you’re going to spout misinformation on a public blog, you can darn well expect to be challenged on it.

Really? Misinformation?

I don’t remember saying anything about climate change being a hoax, I just said this specific incident has nothing to do with climate change. You jumped to that conclusion because you’ve been told that all conservatives reject climate change as a hoax, so you figure I must fit the stereotype.

Have you ever met any actual conservatives or Trump supporters? You seem to have this preconceived notion of how all of us think and conduct ourselves. There’s a word for people who prejudge others based on stereotypes, you know – as an African-American I’m quite used to it. People are (usually) more subtle about it when it comes to race, but the idea of prejudging a person based on a stereotype is very much the same.

Sigh. We don’t feel like engaging in endless disputes and arguments about trump, climate change, or any of the other republican talking points. For us, the bottom line is simple: unless trump is removed from office, democracy will become history and we will be like the characters in The Handmaid’s Tale, asking, How’d this happen?

So, sorry Kellyn, go start your own pro-trump blog and join the likes of Fox News.I think I’ll stick to Alex Miller’s take on things!

And here’s Alex’s most recent article on the impeachment going public:

Door Prize synchros

Posted on December 6, 2019 by Trish and Rob

Here’s an interesting synchronicity from Scott Colborn, who is a radio show host of “Exploring Unknown Phenomena.”  He also a musician and teaches guitar lessons. We’ve been on his show a number of times and he’s always a very mellow and knowledgeable host. Here’s what he writes:

“This afternoon I was invited to speak to a group of people who have been through the rehabilitation process at Lancaster Rehabilitation Center. Lunch was provided (very good turkey and dressing) and then I have a talk on “Stories from the Ghosts of Lincoln (Neb.) Tours” to an audience of about 30-35 people.

“After the talk the business director Darcee asked me to draw a name out of a wicker basket to give away a door prize. Before I did, I told the story of being at a conference years ago in Eureka Springs, AR. On the final day of the conference, my friend Julie and I were seated in the big ballroom with about 300 other folks. Lou Farrish was at the podium, drawing names out of a box and giving away door prizes.

“Suddenly and without warning, I was literally filled with joy. In that moment with absolute clarity, I turned to my friend Julie and said, “He’s going to pick your name next.” She gave me a good-natured elbow and said, ‘Yeah – sure Scott.’

“In slow motion I watched Lou reach into the box and pull a slip of paper out. He then announced my friend’s name and hometown. She turned to me incredulously and said, ‘How did you do that Scott?’

A version of that happened again today. I was asked to reach into the wicker basket and pull a name out. A woman up front who had been asking some good questions said with humor, “Are you going to pull my name out?’

I reached into the basket and pulled her name out ! She was a little flustered and said, ‘How did you do that?” The truth is, I can say equally that I don’t know how I did it, and, I DO KNOW how I did it. Thanks be to God!”

Thanks, Scott. Good one. We normally don’t link God to synchronicities – though it may be true. But it just complicates and confuses things, brings in religion, and the sense that some outside being is creating synchronicities. We prefer to think of these events as part of an underlying reality that we are all part of, and sometimes that hidden, larger reality that exists outside of time and space and occasionally peeks into our everyday world, reminding us of the bigger picture of reality. Call it God, if you will, the Universe, the Source.

Whitley Strieber’s new book: A New World

Posted on December 4, 2019 by Trish and Rob

amazon kindle, $7.99

 

In 1987, Rob and I walked into a Walden’s Bookstore in a Fort Lauderdale mall, and there, on the most prominent display, was a copy of Whitley Strieber’s groundbreaking book, Communion, with that iconic grey alien face on the cover. Something clicked for me when I saw it.

A year or so earlier, Rob and I had covered a UFO conference in Hollywood Florida for OMNI Magazine, and had spent some time with Budd Hopkins, who alluded to a book by a well-known fiction writer that was basically going to blow the socks off of the UFO community. He didn’t give us the writer’s name, but that day in Walden’s, when I saw that book cover, I knew.

In the many years since, I’ve followed Strieber’s career with great interest. In my astrology book Creative Stars, his chart and career are the focus for the chapter on Geminis, my sign as well. And at the time, I hoped I would get to meet him in person one day because I had a lot of questions. That meeting did come to pass in 2017, after our being guests several times on his popular podcast, Dreamland. And yes, many of my questions were answered in his newest book, A New World.

This book is his most personal, following his visitor experiences through the years and his own evolution of beliefs about who or what these visitors are. At some point in reading this, I realized that Strieber may be more than an author and explorer of the psychic realm. He may well be a mystic, one of those individuals who delves so deeply into a matrix the rest of us only glimpse – if we’re lucky! – that if we ignore what he says and believes – we do so at our own peril.

When the book he and radio host Art Bell co-wrote called The Coming Global Superstorm became the movie The Day After Tomorrow, I thought, Wow, there’s hope for the reality of climate change. But that isn’t going to happen under the trump admin.

Strieber lost his wife and creative partner, Anne, in August 2015. They have since written a book together, The Afterlife Revolution. Yes, he meditated and she responded. Think it’s too weird? Think again. This kind of weirdness is part of the terrain of A New World, a matrix of reality that many of us sense – and then dismiss.

Anyone with even an iota of interest in the realm of the unknown, the mysterious, should read this book. It’s dense with information that is cleverly woven within the context of Strieber’s experiences and ultimately proves to be a mind-bending read that alters your concept of what reality is.

JUPITER!

Posted on December 2, 2019 by Trish and Rob

 

Jupiter isn’t just the largest planet in our solar system, it’s also the good guy in astrology. It rules luck, expansion, synchronicity, higher education, the law, spiritual beliefs and philosophy. Since November 2018, it’s been transiting fire sign Sagittarius. On December 2, it enters earth sign Capricorn, where it will be until December 20, 2020.

 

This transit will be especially good for Capricorns as Jupiter will expand opportunities in every facet of your life. Taurus and Virgo will also benefit because Jupiter will form a positive aspect to your sun sign, a trine, which facilitates the flow of energy. Water signs will also benefit – Pisces, Scorpio, Cancer. Even though Jupiter will be opposed to the Cancer sun, an opposition from Jupiter is rarely detrimental. If anything, you may take on too much.

Other signs will also benefit because most of us have air and fire sign planets in our charts.  Be sure to see which house in your chart will be impacted. At this site, you can get a free copy of your natal chart. If you don’t know the exact time of your birth, enter 12 noon. If you have questions about your chart, send me your birth info and I’ll take a look.

One hint with the impact of Jupiter. Look back 12 years – specifically to December 2007 to early January 2009, when Jupiter was also in Capricorn. What was going on in your life then? Some of the same patterns may unfold now.

With Whitley Strieber on Dreamland

Posted on November 30, 2019 by Trish and Rob

We spent a delightful hour talking with Whitley Strieber on his podcast, Dreamland, about our new book, Phenomena: Harnessing your Psychic Powers.  As always when we talk with Whitley, synchronicities don’t just happen, they flourish.  You don’t want to miss this riveting conversation.
This fun and exciting discussion with Trish and Rob MacGregor about pyschic empowerment is fun but also serious. We all have psychic power but we feel as if we don’t. The result of which is–well, we don’t. It isn’t a matter of just saying “I believe” and it happens. Most often, when we make that pronouncement inside ourselves what happens is exactly nothing. So, what does work? Whitley points out early in the show that the power of story is tremendously important. We need to know true stories about psychic power in order to find its place in our lives, and this show is filled with fascinating real-life stories that anybody can relate to and understand, that can encourage us to find our own psychic power.
We are all born with it, but as life intrudes and we get busier and busier, it slips away.
Listen, and you will find moments, almost certainly, that will take you back to your own truth, which is that you are a multidimensional being and loaded with psychic power.
