Epidemiologist slams the swine flu fearmongering

Last updated on: July 24, 2009 at 9:45 am By Lynn Hayes

Following up on my “Conspiracy Corner” post from last week, an interview on the Spiegel Online website with Tom Jefferson shows that it’s not just conspiracy nuts that are spectacle of the latest attempt to frighten humans around the world. Dr. Jefferson is associated with Cochranes Vaccine Field, an organization based in Italy which was founded to facilitate the gathering of evidence on vaccines and their effects so it appears he knows what he’s talking about. The inception of this latest Swine... Read more

The collision of Jupiter and the Triple Conjunction

Last updated on: July 23, 2009 at 7:44 am By Lynn Hayes

Jupiter and Chiron reached their exact conjunction on Wednesday for their second time in this cycle, just as it was discovered that a huge body in space slammed into Jupiter, giving it a bruise “as big as the Pacific ocean.” Chiron of course is known as the “Wounded Healer,” and the synchronicity of the wound to Jupiter becoming known to us here on Earth as Jupiter conjoined Chiron is an interesting one. Those two are within a degree of an exact... Read more

The Solar Eclipse unmasks the fact that racism is alive and well

Last updated on: July 23, 2009 at 6:40 am By Lynn Hayes

The major force of the eclipse is now behind us, although its influence will linger for the next few days. Eclipses are often associated with the “unmasking” of something that has been hidden – in the solar eclipse, the power of the lunar unconscious force unmasks that which has been hidden from the conscious mind. So here we have the revelation that Professor Henry Louis Gates, arrested last Thursday (July 16) was arrested for trying to open the front door... Read more

Solar eclipse pits superstition against transformation

Last updated on: July 21, 2009 at 7:39 am By Lynn Hayes

An article in Yahoo News yesterday was entitled “Solar eclipse pits superstition against science,” but to me there is no better example of the split between traditional Vedic astrologers and “modern” transformational or evolutionary astrologers. I welcome my Vedic astrologer readers to chime in on this topic and look forward to an interesting discussion. From the article: Indian astrologers are predicting violence and turmoil across the world as a result of this week’s total solar eclipse, which the superstitious and... Read more

A journey from modern Iraq back into ancient wisdom and modern science

Last updated on: July 20, 2009 at 7:37 am By Lynn Hayes

Astrologer Dave Mockaitis has a fascinating essay up on his blog connecting the Yezidi, a Kurdish people on the border of Syria and Iraq, back to the Picatrix, a collection of Arabic texts that was widely used by mages during the Renaissance period. He then draws connections back to the Sabians of Harran, adding a layer of interest to my post last week on the Sabian Symbols, He then goes back to Hermes Trismegistus, a fascinating quasi-mythological figure who appears to combine the...

Total eclipse of the Sun, July 21-22 2009

Last updated on: July 18, 2009 at 7:12 am By Lynn Hayes

The New Moon that occurs at 10:35 pm EDT on July 21 (2 am GMT July 22) is also a total solar eclipse, in which the Moon passes in front of the Sun from our perspective here on Planet Earth, obscuring the light of the Sun for a short time. Solar eclipses always occur at the time of the New Moon, when the Sun and Moon are in the same degree of an astrological sign and said to be conjunct. Because the conscious... Read more

Sunday inspiration for the eclipse

Last updated on: July 18, 2009 at 6:41 am By Lynn Hayes

“Nations, like stars, are entitled to eclipse. All is well, provided the light returns and the eclipse does not become endless night. Dawn and resurrection are synonymous. The reappearance of the light is the same as the survival of the soul.” Victor Hugo I would argue that human beings are also entitled to eclipse. Sometimes when in crisis, when the dark night of the soul is upon us, we feel that we cannot bear another moment. Yet that’s when the... Read more

Conspiracy Corner: Swine flu hysteria continues

Last updated on: July 15, 2009 at 7:10 am By Lynn Hayes

The swine flu began as a mysterious strain of flu, a mixture of swine, bird and human flu strains, just as Chiron and Neptune were moving closer towards their exact conjunction. At the time I wrote of my suspicion over the sudden appearance of this hybrid strain of flu. After all, it wasn’t long ago that scientists recreated the Spanish flu virus that killed an estimated 50 million people back in 1918. Flu epidemics provide billions of dollars of income for pharmaceutical... Read more

A history of the Sabian Symbols

Last updated on: July 14, 2009 at 5:05 pm By Lynn Hayes

The Sabian Symbols were originally conceptualized in a partnership between astrologer Marc Edmund Jones and spiritual medium Elsie Wheeler in the early part of the 20th century, and published in a book by Jones called The Sabian Symbols in Astrology. Channeled by Ms. Wheeler, there is one symbol for every degree of the zodiac, from the first degree of Aries to the 30th degree of Pisces. Jones was a Theosophist and therefore well acquainted with the concept of channeling Ascended Masters and... Read more
