OFF-TOPIC BONUS : ASTROLOGY # 2 - Film Score Rundowns

signs, then earth signs, air signs, and then water signs. And every 800 years roughly, they
would start the next cycle. Well, this was the new movement into the water signs with
Pisces. A lot of astrologers were taken by that and said “That must be what the magi were
looking at when Jesus was born.” And they could’ve said that this was the time for a
teacher to come in for Pisces, the Piscean Age.
However, in 2 B.C., Jupiter and Venus were in a very tight conjunction that
started in 3 B.C. And then Jupiter, the King planet, conjuncted Regulus, and Regulaus
was the fixed star associated with the King. And three times in one astronomical year,
Jupiter came back and conjuncted Regulus in Leo, the sign of the king! So we had
Regulas, the King star, in the King sign of Leo, and the Jupiter, the King planet. Now that
would’ve been something the astrologers at the time would’ve known. They probably
didn’t know about the Piscean Age, and the 200 and 800 Jupiter-Saturn cycles that we
know today, but they did use Regulus, the did use Leo, and they certainly thought Jupiter
was terribly important. And Jesus was theoretically descended from David who was the
King—not from Aaron, the line of the priests. Remember, you could be anointed as a
king or as a priest. So Jesus was in the king line.
In late August 2 B.C., four of the planets –Jupiter, Venus, Mars, Mercury—all
came together in an unusual combination known as the massing of the planets. So an
astronomer conjectured that perhaps this was what the magi decided that it was then a
very important person was born in the king line, to be a leader of the people. If the tale of
the shepherds was accurate, then the birth wasn’t in the winter! Shepherds were not out in
the fields in the winter. It was cold! So it might’ve been spring, summer or fall….(etc).
The chart I am using is 2 B.C.—which is minus 1 if your computer is doing it
because there is no zero year! I am using 19:13 (or 7:13 pm) in Bethlehem. That’s my
speculative choice at the moment. The Ascendant is 24 Pisces, and 26 Sagittarius
Midheaven.
Now: A little more about the history. Jesus may’ve been more than a wandering
cynic. The Romans did not crucify people unless they considered them a rebel against the
State. The standard Roman practice in those days was to crucify anyone sedious, anyone
advocating the overthrow of the State, and thousands of Jews were crucified. So the fact
they crucified him suggests they saw him as a threat trying to overthrow Rome. …Jesus
went into Jerusalem—remember the story of the temple and the moneychangers? But it’s
said that he took over the temple, and drove out the moneychangers. The temple was
huge, many buildings, several great courtyards. It measured 200 by 450 yards. There was
a staff of 20,000 attendants. It was a public marketplace. There was a bank and a treasury.
It not only had a temple guard or garrison but also a Roman garrison of 500 to 600 men.
If Jesus took over the temple, he had a lot of men with him! It wasn’t just one guy with
twelve disciples. This is a possibly. We don’t know, but from this it suggests that he was
perceived as a threat by the Romans. Mark says Jesus held the temple day after day, and
theoretically that seizure led to his execution…(ETC)
