More 11s!

Posted on September 25, 2018 by Trish and Rob

Recently, we posted a piece on 11,111, and it precipitated emails from several people. I’m always curious about how these numbers play out in other people’s lives. Various meanings have been attributes to 11s – the number of angels, spirit contact, a sign that events are going to unfold. I don’t think there’s any one interpretation. The meaning seems to be as individual as each of us is.

Here’s Melissa’s experiences in a single day that started with seeing 11:11 as she headed out her front door.

9/16/2018
11:11 AM on my phone when checking the time on my way out the door.

I headed out of the house and while I was walking this man — he was black, tall, skinny but not sure if homeless or crazy or both, I couldn’t tell — smiled at me. So, I smiled back as you do. Then he lifted his hand making a gesture like a gun and fired it in my face. I just looked at him and he continued to smile and I walked away. He said nothing, I said nothing. He watched me because when I turned the corner I could see him in my periphery.

I got on the train and headed toward my destination, MoMa (the Museum of Modern Art) to renew my membership and see some art. I was going there specifically to see the 12:30 performance of ‘Yvonne Rainer: Early Dances 1961-1969’ but the trains were all be rerouted in weird ways, due to maintenance and construction. I swear that the particular re-routes were not on the MTA site when I checked before heading out. I was annoyed.

I basically got off a stop much farther away than I had wanted – 17 or 18 blocks, about a mile. I made it there in 15 minutes after speed-walking and having to stop at almost every crosswalk for the light, but I was able to renew my membership and snag a spot for the performance, so it worked out.

I studied Rainer’s film work in college. Her career began in minimalist dance and she incorporated film into her pieces, which eventually segued into film making. She was a frequent topic in my feminist film studies classes.

As I waited for the performance to begin, I noticed an older woman standing to my right, it was Yvonne Rainer!

This is significant to me because shortly after I graduated college, I was still living in Gainesville and Rainer came to UF’s Harn Museum for a screening of her film ‘MURDER and murder’ accompanied by a discussion and Q&A afterward. Of course, I attended and that evening, probably 18 or 19 years ago, I was seated in the back of the audience next to an older woman. At the time, I had no idea what Rainer looked like, having only seen her on the screen from the 60s and 70s, much younger. When the film ended, I exchanged pleasantries with this woman as one of my film professors gave an introduction. Then that same woman stood up and went to the podium. The woman on my right was Yvonne Rainer!

Yesterday, before the performance, we exchanged brief pleasantries once again, nothing too significant. And I should have asked for a quick photograph, but I didn’t.

And, after I shared this with you on text last night, I looked at my phone to check the time and it was 11:11 PM! Nice closure to the day.

Full Moon in Aries

Posted on September 23, 2018 by Trish and Rob

 

On September 24, at 10:52 p.m. EDT, we’ve got a full moon in Aries. Full moons are generally times of harvest, culmination, news, illumination.

This one may have something of a bite to it, though. Saturn forms a challenging angle to it, suggesting trouble or confrontation with a boss, parent, or other authority figure. Avoid confrontation. Any news you hear may require some flexibility or adjustment.

Aries: The news you hear should be personally satisfying, but with the above caveat. This is the harvest time of the month and if you’ve laid the groundwork throughout the rest of the month, the payoff should occur on or around the time of this full moon.

Taurus: The full moon illuminates an issue or belief that you should deal with so you can move forward in your various endeavors. If you’ve held a grudge, resolve it. Pay close attention to your dreams.

Gemini: This full moon ramps up your social life. You and a group of friends or colleagues may do some brainstorming about a joint project. Your passions run fast ands furiously during this full moon.

Cancer: This full moon lights up your career area. There should be career news or news about someone with who you work. A project you’ve been working on is completed. Avoid confrontation with your boss.

Leo: Overall, this full moon should be a good one for you – if you can avoid disagreements. Aries is also a fire sign, so this one stirs your passions and thrust for independence. You may travel suddenly on or around the time of this full moon and because it falls in that area of your chart that rules foreign countries and travel, the trip could be overseas. Or, you hear news about a publishing project.

Virgo: This moon highlights your finances, in particular the resources you share with others – a roommate, partner, parent. If you’re trying to figure out how to make your money go farther, the news you hear may help that to happen. New client? A sale?

Libra: This moon brings culmination of some kind with a business or personal partner. You may decide to cut ties or to deepen your commitment. With both the sun and Mercury, the planet of communication, in your sign, there’s plenty of conversation about the direction in which the relationship is headed.

Scorpio: There may be news about a work-related project or about a job. You could be called back for a second interview or learn that you landed the job. Since Saturn forms a challenging angle to this full moon, it’s wise to carefully consider what the job entails before you commit to it.

Sagittarius: This moon shines a light on your love life, creative endeavors, and kids. There could be news connected to one or all of these areas. You may complete a creative project on or around the time of this full moon. Your passions are heightened.

Capricorn: Expect news about your family/home or, because Aries is involved, about some entrepreneurial venture in which you’re involved. You may feel more impulsive and impatient and that’s may lead to a discovery of something exciting and entirely new. A word of caution: don’t speed while driving.

Aquarius: News arrives about a sibling, neighbor, or friend. You finish up a project you’ve been working on and approach everything with a kind of fearlessness. With mars in your sign now, you’re physically energetic and ready to take on the world.

Pisces: This full moon lights up your financial area and could bring news about money. Perhaps it’s a new source of income or a raise or you’re paid the remainder of what you’re owed. With Neptune still in your sign and Jupiter forming a beneficial angle to it, or you land a raise, the news may seem too good to be true! Pay close attention to the details.

Michael Moore’s 11/9

Posted on September 21, 2018 by Trish and Rob

Is there a synchro here? Well, maybe.

I can still recall when we went to see Fahrenheit 911, Michael Moore’s documentary on the Bush presidency, the biggest grossing documentary of all time – $222 million globally. At the end, I stood up and cheered. I remember that at the end of Sick-O about health care in this country, I also cheered. Now, I’m eager to see his take on the Trump presidency, a documentary that opens today, Fahrenheit 11/9.

When I first heard about the movie, the numbers struck me, 11/9 as the reverse of 911. I thought the 11/9 referred to the date of the 2016 election, which would be an intriguing numerical  synchro that connected to 9/11. But when I Googled it, the election in 2016 fell on the second Tuesday, 11/8, not quite the same thing. But Moore,  as adept as self-promotion as trump is, apparently selected 11/9 not only because of what the numbers are in reverse, but because it was the day after the election when we all understood that trump had won the electoral college and would be our next president.

In other words, what looks like a number synchronicity was manufactured. The synchro may actually lie deeper. Harvey and Bob Weinstein initially had control over the documentary and were blocking Moore from finding a theatrical distributor or broadcast outlet.

From Deadline Hollywood, in November 2017: “Sources said the brothers paid just north of $2 million out of the $6 million pledged in a docu deal Moore used to get the film to this point. That deal was made before TWC was hobbled by the testimonies of numerous women that painted Harvey Weinstein as a serial sexual predator. Sources describe the crux of the dispute this way: the Weinsteins want their money back, while Moore and his WME reps want them to step aside, chalking the loss up to the price of scandal.”

Read the whole article. The synchro may lie in the behind the scenes machinations, when Michael Eisner of Disney had stood in the way of the Fahrenheit 9/11 release and then the Weinsteins  stood in the way of the 11/9 release. As the article says, “To Moore’s camp, cutting a check to the disgraced mogul would be wrong, morally, and their feeling is that Weinstein is ironically positioned similarly to where Eisner stood years ago, when the former Disney chairman stood in the way of the Fahrenheit 9/11 release.”

I’m still drilling down on this one. Synchronicities often appear in the global spotlight and I’m sure there are some glaring ones here, but I suspect they won’t be obvious until I see the movie. Stay tuned…

In the meantime, the trailer for Fahrenheit 11/9 is pure Michael Moore.

PS. We saw the movie this evening. It’s the most disturbing movie I’ ve ever seen. And after seeing it, Moore picked the right title. At 2:16 a.m. on 11/9, trump became the winner. I remember: I was still awake, watching.

September 19 & #137

Posted on September 19, 2018 by Trish and Rob

 

On September 19, 1961, Betty and Barney Hill experienced an abduction that became one of the hallmarks of alien abductions in the 20th century.

What’s interesting about this date to me as an astrologer is that whenever I meet someone born on September 19, I take notice. Nancy Pickard, writer and friend since 1985, was the first person I’d met born on this date. At the time, I though it might be important, but didn’t know enough to figure out why. Nancy’s books have been enormously popular and a movie was made of her wonderful novel, The Scent of Rain and Lightning. Her books aren’t about aliens or anomalies or the strange stuff, but rather on the vagaries of the human heart, which obviously possess their own alien language.

Several years after Megan moved to Orlando, I did a chart for one of her close male friends, Ryan. Well, surprise, Ryan was also born on September 19. He’s as brilliant as Nancy is, but in a different way – with programming and computers rather than novels – and now works in San Francisco for a tech company, developing apps.

Two others people have come along since then, each with a particular skill or talent. This cluster has me wondering if there’s an archetypal energy to his date that ties back to the abduction of Betty and Barney Hill. Worldwide, there are probably millions of people born on this date. But I haven’t met millions. I have run across a cluster of 4 people with this birthdate. It’s the equivalent of meeting someone born on your own birthday, a synchronicity that speaks to an underlying archetypal energy.

The other thing I’m wondering concerns birth times. I’ve erected thousands of natal charts over the years, but have never encountered a 1:37 birth time. Maybe the odds are within norms, I don’t know. But I was struck by the birth time in a chart I recently did for a woman’s daughter.

We’ve written about this number before.  In quantum physics, it’s known as the DNA of light. For Nobel laureate Wolfgang Pauli, it was a riddle, a mystery, and ultimately, his nemesis.

For me, seeing 1:37 as the birth time suggests the individual is here to do something special, something that impacts others – the collective of humanity – in a major way. I feel this same thing when I do charts for people born at triple times – 1:11, 2:22, 3:33, 4:44 etc. All of these numbers represent archetypes in the Jungian scheme of things and I probably need another few lifetimes to figure them out.

But if you know your time of birth and it’s 1:37 or any of those triple numbers like 1:11, 2:2 etc., let me know. Show me a picture of your birth certificate. In exchange, you’ll get a free natal chart interpretation.

2 new novels

Posted on September 17, 2018 by Trish and Rob

Rob’s newest novel will be available October 16. It can be pre-ordered now from Amazon.

Trish’s newest novel will be released October 23. It can be pre-ordered now from Amazon.

The other day, someone asked me why we don’t write mysteries anymore. My response is that we do! It’s just that the nature of the mysteries has changed. Who did it and why is couched within the larger picture of what sort of reality matrix are we living inside of, anyway?

Tulpas. The word is borrowed from Tibetan mysticism, and is about how the dream world becomes the real world through the machinations of powerful dream beings.

Skin Shifter. An alien race realizes the best and easiest way to invade a planet is to seize the bodies of the inhabitants so you look like them. And they look like you.

Stay tuned. We’ll be posting the prologues  here  on the blog.

Thanks to David Dodd of Crossroad Press for the terrific covers and to David Wilson for his tireless scrutiny of details!

11,111

Posted on September 15, 2018 by Trish and Rob

 

This image is from my Fitbit. Every Monday, it provides a lot of info about my physical activity during a given week. I was surprised by the average number of steps per day this past week – the figure under and left of the total steps for the week: 11,111.

I’ve experienced clusters of 11s and of 111s, but only once before has 11,111 appeared. That happened in Costa Rica in 2011, on a receipt.

That time, I interpreted it as contact with my parents, but this time I’m not sure what the message is. There are a couple of possibilities.

It may relate to the progress on our house repairs after Irma. We’ve now got a new roof, dry board replaced, everything inside freshly painted, and no more leaks! The exterior of the house still needs to be painted and we still have some bathroom remodeling to do. We hope to put our house on the market sometime this fall or winter and move farther north in Florida, closer to our daughter. So far, we haven’t found any particular area or a house that screams, Hey, move here! So the number could be saying, Relax, see how things unfold.

Or it could relate to something professional that hasn’t happened yet . Or, maybe we’re going back to Costa Rica!

That’s Stephanie, the magnificent macaw, who became emblematic of Costa Rica’s magic. Her story is fascinating.

Florence

Posted on September 11, 2018 by Trish and Rob

So far in this hurricane season, the Atlantic basin has been lucky. It’s been quiet. Maybe that’s the way nature balances itself after a horrendous hurricane season in 2017 that set records. That flooded Houston. Destroyed Puerto Rico’s infrastructure. Did some major damage to our house. The damage to our place is now in the process of repair – new roof, new dry board, new paint job. But Puerto Rico is still suffering and the death toll there has been adjusted – from 64 to nearly 3,000.

Synchronistically, September 10 was the one-year anniversary of Hurricane Irma and  a new hurricane dominated  the news – Florence. As of tonight (9-10)  at 11 p.m., Florence is a cat 4 – which can have winds up to 155 m.p.h., and looks to be on track for North Carolina. She leaped from a cat 2 to a cat 4 in just a matter of hours. In satellite photos, her eye is perfectly formed and she’s big. The governor of South Carolina ordered the evacuation of that state’s 187-mile long coast and the Outer Banks of North Carolina are also being evacuated.

Since my family first moved to Florida in the early sixties, hurricanes have fascinated me. They seem like sentient beings, particularly now, when satellite imagery captures their spinning ferocity, their weird and sometimes perfect eyes. Hurricanes proved to be central characters in several of my novels –Storm Surge and Category 5 – and the novels ended up being prescient, so I no longer use them in novels.

From the National Hurricane Center’s 11 p.m. bulletin: “ The new intensity forecast calls for continued strengthening to near category 5 strength, although at a slower rate than what occurred during the last 30 h. Florence is expected to encounter southwesterly shear near the 72 h point, which could cause slight weakening before landfall. However, there remains high confidence that Florence will be a large and extremely dangerous hurricane, regardless of its exact intensity.”

One of the possibilities as Florence moves inland is buckets of rains, as much as several feet in some areas. There’s also a possibility that the storm may stall, like Harvey did in Texas last summer, and dump even more rain, creating catastrophic flooding.

There does seem to be a ray of hope in this, at least as of tonight. A system in the northwestern Caribbean, which could become a tropical storm by Thursday, may nudge Florence farther north along the coast.

To our friends and colleagues in North Carolina: stay safe!

New Moon in Virgo

Posted on September 8, 2018 by Trish and Rob

September 9,  at 2:01 p.m. EDT, there’s a new moon in Virgo and there’s a lot to love about this moon.

New moons are times to anticipate. They bring new opportunities, new relationships, new insights. Doors open, things we thought were stalled suddenly take off. They also bring good news. This moon in earth sign Virgo will be especially good for Virgos, of course, but also for fellow earth signs Capricorn and Taurus.

Pluto, the planet of transformation and power, forms a beautiful angle to the sun and moon, enhancing personal magnetism and empowering emotions and intuition. Jupiter, the planet of luck and synchronicity, is shaking hands with this new moon, bringing expansion to some area of your life.

If you work in publishing or higher education, areas that Jupiter rules, you might land a raise or promotion. It’s an excellent time to submit manuscripts, screenplays, and any artistic endeavors. If you’re traveling overseas today, your trip should be smooth and between no wand the full moon in two weeks, pleasant surprises fall at your feet.

In addition, the new moon chart features a grand earth trine – when three planets in the same element are 120 degrees apart from each other. This trine involves Mercury (communication, travel) at 6 degrees Virgo, Saturn (responsibility, discipline, physical reality( at 2 degrees Capricorn, and Uranus (sudden, unexpected events) at 2 degrees Taurus. This grand trine suggests unexpected surprises that seem to come out of nowhere – a job offer, a chance to do something on your bucket list, a new opportunity that thrills you. Because Saturn is involved, whatever it is has long-term benefits. With Mercury involved, the news comes through a call, email, text message.

Neptune at 15 degrees Pisces forms a trine to Jupiter, so creativity and artistic endeavors are highlighted. Your intuition will be deepened as well. There’s something positive here for everyone!
