Uranus/Jupiter Conjunction in Taurus

Posted on April 18, 2024 by Trish and Rob

I read an article recently that implied  the quake in New Jersey/NY/East coast on April 5 was  due to the conjunction of Uranus/Jupiter. That conjunction will be exact 2 days from now, on April 20. Right now, the two planets are three degrees apart. It was noted that the last time this conjunction occurred was in 1941.

It’s true that Uranus rules sudden, unexpected events -including earthquakes. Jupiter rules expansion and Taurus is an earth sign. But just because the 2 planets are conjunct in Taurus doesn’t necessarily mean we’re due for a big quake on 4/20.

I brought up the astrological ephemeris for 1941 and found the two planets were conjunct within a degree of each other from May 6-9 and within a degree of each other for several days on either side of those dates. I then looked up earthquakes for those dates.

Turns out the strongest quake in May 1941 was a 7.4 in the British Solomon Islands. On that days, Jupiter was at 27 degrees and 24 minutes in Taurus and Uranus was at 26 degrees and 9 minutes in Taurus . So they were less than a degree apart.

However, if we go strictly by the astrological playbook,  Uranus and Jupiter will no longer be conjunct when the season begins. On May 25, Jupiter enters Gemini.

 

May
Strongest magnitude 7.4 Mw British Solomon Islands
Deadliest 6.0 Mw  China
132 deaths
Total fatalities 182
Number by magnitude
8.0–8.9 0
7.0–7.9 1
6.0–6.9 10

What IS true, though, is that the conjunction of these 2 planets in Taurus now,  in 2024, points to sudden changes in the earth caused by a number of factors, including global warming. Researchers at Colorado State University  anticipate 23 named storms for this hurricane season, which starts June 1 and ends November 30. An average season has 14 named storms.

Frog in the Window & the Lost Cat

Posted on April 11, 2024 by Trish and Rob

 

 

This tree frog on the outside of my dirty office window is stalking an insect just above him. Usually, I see these guys during the hotter summer months, but today – April 10 – was warm – 88 but not too humid. We have the AC on tonight because there’s no breeze.When they appear out of season like this, I’m reminded that frogs are often a sign of good luck for me. This little guy  isn’t hurt or dying. He’s simply hungry.

On March 20, when we returned from the Dominican Republic, Megan’s cat, Indy (named after Indiana Jones) got out of the house and hasn’t come back. We think something in the backyard spooked him and he jumped the back fence. Here’s Indy.

We put up lost cat fliers in the neighborhood across the street, with Peggy Adams, local shelters and vets. He was sighted several times by Dillon and his sister in the neighborhood across the street. A cat loving woman in the neighborhood lent us  a no harm cage.

We put a dollop of sardines at the front of the cage, some cat food at the back. The first night, the cage caught a racoon. The second night, it caught a cat that resembled Indy. Another night, it was a kitten. Megan bought a trail camera, a complex piece of equipment that I didn’t program correctly the first couple of  nights. By the 3rd night, it caught photos of rustling leaves, of a dog passing by on the nearby sidewalk, of a guy on the sidewalk.

No Indy.

People in this neighborhood have been extraordinarily kind- texting us early on about sightings, allowing us to put the cage in their yards with the camera. This evening while Rob was setting up the cage in the yard where we’ve been putting it,  a woman across the street was walking her dog, so I went over to her with a lost cat poster. She already knew about Indy. She’d seen one of the fliers we put up in that neighborhood.

In recent days, no sightings. No texts. But tonight, the frog appeared. The first since Indy’s disappearance. Maybe it’s a sign, maybe it’s delusional on my part. But sometimes during Mercury retrogrades, we find what has been lost.

We’ll see.

1953 Prediction about Phones

Posted on April 10, 2024 by Trish and Rob

 

That newspaper article sure qualifies as a precognition!

This clipping is from an Associated Press article:

We live in the age of the smartphone, which took more than a few of us by surprise. But in all human history, not a single piece of technology has actually come out of nowhere. Long before smartphones came on the market in the 2000s, those close to the telecommunications industry had a sense of what form its most widely used device would eventually take. “Here is my prophecy: In its final development, the telephone will be carried about by the individual, perhaps as we carry a watch today,” said Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company director Mark R. Sullivan in 1953. “It probably will require no dial or equivalent and I think the users will be able to see each other, if they want, as they talk. Who knows but it may actually translate from one language to another?”

Sullivan’s prescient-sounding words survive in the clipping of the Associated Press article . Think about it for a moment. The 1950s. That was when  the rotary phone was the most advanced personal communication device in American households.

Solar Eclipse in Aries

Posted on April 7, 2024 by Trish and Rob

Today, April 8, there’s a solar eclipse at 19 degrees Aries. According to articles on the Internet, avid eclipse watchers are flocking to the areas where the eclipse  will be fully visible.

Astrologically, solar eclipses are like double new moons. They usher in double the new opportunities . However since good ole trickster Mercury is retro in Aries until April 25, those opportunities may not show up until after it turns direct.

Or, if they do, just be sure you do not sign a contract. It’s not wise to list or sell your home, to start anything new or to travel. That pretty much limits life right there, so with the travel stuff try to go with the flow even if your itinerary is disrupted.

To find out how this eclipse may impact you, look here for your sun sign.

Mercury Retrograde Alert

Posted on April 3, 2024 by Trish and Rob

 

It’s that time of year again. On April 1, Mercury turned retro in Aries and by now, the 3rd day, you probably have some idea what this means for you. It stays that way until April 25. Eastern time this happens at 6:14 PM. For Pacific time it’s at 3:14 PM.

These weeks are when miscommunication runs rampant, so it’s vital that you communicate clearly and succinctly. It’s best to follow the rule of the 3 Rs: revise, review, reconsider. And for writers, it means rewriting. Don’t: sign contracts, have surgery, move, or travel unless yo don’t mind your itinerary changing at the last second.

Since Mercury rules both Gemini and Virgo, these signs tend to feel the retrograde most strongly. If you have a moon or rising in Gemini or Virgo, you’ll feel this retro as well.

To find out how this retrograde impacts your sign, check out the April forecast in the masthead.

Adele Aldridge

Posted on March 28, 2024 by Trish and Rob

I never met Adele Aldridge.But I was deeply distressed by news from her daughter on Facebook on  March 10 that  she had died.

Back in 2009 when we started our blog on synchronicity, she was one of our first visitors. In those many years since, we became friends. We shared a love of the I Ching, synchronicity, the paranormal, writing and, well, cats.

When Bernard Beitman started his  Coincidence Project, I told Adele about it and of course she joined. She was a wizard when it came to the I Ching. Knew it backward and forward. And she understood the nature of synchronicity and how it works in divination systems. A couple of times, I asked her how she would interpret an I Ching reading that I or someone else in  the family got. Her response invariably floored me.

Over the years, I haven’t met too many people who are familiar with the I Ching, much less well versed in it. My writer friend Nancy Pickard, Mary Kay Landon  on the Coincidence Project, and Adele. At one point during this long association between us, she sent me a copy of her book I Ching Meditations – the image above. It’s written specifically  for women. I was astonished at the breadth and depth of her knowledge and understanding of this most ancient divination system.

She was in the process of writing a book – a memoir, I guess  -about her years in San Francisco in the 60s, when it seems she knew everyone there was to know back then. I wish she’d finished the book before she died.

When my sister sided suddenly and unexpectedly in June 2023, I texted Adele about it. She wrote:

Trish – OMG! 😢 Terrible! And I see it is your birthday. That’s not fair!
A therapist once told me,”What makes you think life is fair?”  That was a shock to naive me.
The good thing is that you have a pack of friends of and in the spirit world. They will help.

Back in late January of this year, she texted that she was in the hospital in great pain. and that it was awful. Also, someone had hacked into her I Ching site and taken it over. I responded immediately, then didn’t hear anything for quite a while. The next message? She was in rehab and in terrible shape. I finally wrote to Luis, a mutual friend on Facebook, and asked if he knew what was going on. He didn’t have any new info.

Then, on March 10, her daughter Victoria announced her mother’s death on Facebook.

When a woman like Adele passes, the world becomes less bright, less enlightened. But her legacy perseveres. Many times, we speculated about how we would talk for hours when we finally met. We would share a bottle of wine. We would toss I Ching coins. Or do the yarrow sticks. We would talk about synchronicity and how it manifests itself  in all divination systems.

My biggest regret is that we never had the opportunity to meet in person.Yet, in many ways, she became my spiritual older sister. Stop by when you can, Adele. I’ll be listening. Waiting.
