Note on Nov. 15, 2013 — one of our readers was poking around the archives and reminded me about this article. I thought I would reprise it and open up the discussion, now that we’re one week ahead of the 50th anniversary. –efc
The question of what exactly happened on Nov. 22, 1963 persists, and it will until the government releases the secrets that it’s been keeping all these years. We do have the astrological chart, however: one cannot hide the date and time of such a public event. If you’re an astrology student, memorize the data: 12:30 pm in Dallas. I have provided the chart below; in some ways it’s difficult to see what is going on. But as with the event itself, common sense has a way of prevailing. Or perhaps lies have a way of reeking in the approximate scent of their own existence.
I come back to this chart from time to time, from year to year, to see if I notice anything new, and here is what I can tell you today.
As background, the Sun in this chart is void of course in Scorpio; it is placed very late in that sign, at the end of the last degree. In other words, in about six hours the Sun will be in Sagittarius.
The time of day is just past noon, so the Sun is in the 9th house (the time of year determines the sign placement; the time of day determines the house). The void opens the way for a lot of mischief, if one is inclined to take advantage of it. The 9th house is the secret or hidden zone of the government, which is contained in the next house over — the 10th. Vesta is the most elevated planet in the chart, in the 10th, what you might call the presidential zone. Vesta suggests sacrifice.
Mercury is conjunct Vesta. Because Virgo is on the 8th house cusp (the house associated with the nature and cause of death), Mercury is the delegate of this house; and Mercury is conjunct Vesta in the 10th. This suggests two things: one is a human sacrifice of President Kennedy; and second that the government itself was involved. This is fairly simple: Mercury represents the nature and cause of death; Mercury is placed in the house of the president/government — the 10th. The cause and the effect are directly connected. One gets the sense that someone known to President Kennedy was involved in the plot to kill him; but writing this, that seems obvious.
