Musings: The Sign of Three

The sign of three has always been important, but did you know the secret of it?

I first learnt of it while watching BBC's "Sherlock". In the original Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Dyle, the story was called "The Sign of Four". But in BBC's version, they wrote a new story and changed it to "The Sign of Three". In that episode (spoiler alert), the sign of three actually refers to Doctor Watson and his wife and the child she was pregnant with.


In Egyptian mythology, Osiris and Isis gave birth to Horus, the Sky God. They represent the sign of three. A family/royal lineage.

In Christianity, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit represent the Holy Trinity. They would be the sign of three. The divine connection.

In Twinflame Studies, the two soulmates held together by the Divine One would be the sign of three. The divine union.

There are many other connections out there to be uncovered. And that triangle connection just can't be denied.



The sign of three exists in us too.

I realize I have three minds when it comes to learning astrology and the truth.

Moon represents the emotional mind ruled by feelings. It is what the heart and soul feels.

Mercury represents the analytical/logical mind. It is what the brains think.

and most importantly, Pallas.

Pallas refers to the pineal gland. It represents the third eye. It represents the intuitive mind that picks up information by our "sixth sense".

And when you use all three, you learn about the truth.

If you are reading this today, maybe there is a reason for you to learn about it.

Finding Atlantis Part 6: Mesopotamian Link

Similiarities of earlier Sumerian/Babylonian/Assyrian history with Plato's Atlantis


Structure and Purpose of the Temple of Poseidon

At a very early period - prior to 3000 BC - Nippur had become the centre of a political district of considerable extent. Inscriptions found at Nippur, where extensive excavations were carried on during 1888-1900 by Messrs Peters and Haynes, under the auspices of the University of Pennsylvania, show that Enlil was the head of an extensive pantheon. Among the titles accorded to him are "king of lands," "king of heaven and earth" and "father of the gods".

His chief temple at Nippur was known as E-kur, signifying 'House of the mountain', and such was the sanctity acquired by this edifice that Babylonian and Assyrian rulers, down to the latest days, vied with one another in embellishing and restoring Enlil's seat of worship, and the name Ekur became the designation of a temple in general.

Grouped around the main sanctuary, there arose temples and chapels to the gods and goddesses who formed his court, so that E-kur became the name for an entire sacred precinct in the city of Nippur. The name "mountain house" suggests a lofty structure and was perhaps the designation originally of the staged tower at Nippur, built in imitation of a mountain, with the sacred shrine of the god on the top.

Flooding (Judgement by Zeus on Bronze Age People)

(From Sumerian tablet called Eridu Genesis, dated around 2300 BC, Babylonian/Assyrian Atra-Hasis tablets dated 18th century BC)

According to the Sumerians, Enlil helped create the humans, but then got tired of their noise and tried to kill them by sending a flood.

"Enlil grew restless at their racket, he had to listen to their noise.
Enlil opened his mouth to speak and addressed the assembly of all the gods: 'The noise of mankind has become too much, I am losing sleep over their racket. Come now, let us all take an oath to bring a flood.'" (The Epic of Atra-Hasis)

Atrahasis (his name translates as `exceedingly wise') was warned of the impending deluge by the god Ea/Enki who instructed him to build an ark to save himself. Atrahasis heeded the words of the god, loaded two of every kind of animal into the ark, and so preserved human and animal life on earth.

Musings: Tracing Kepler

I heard a beautiful song about Kepler, sung by Stefanie Sun.

I looked it up and apparently the song is named after the Kepler's Supernova, a supernova in the Milky Way (Ophiuchius constellation) discovered by Johannes Kepler in 1604. Back then, the exploding star was so bright that it shone for 3 weeks.

Remnant of Kepler's Supernova (wiki)

The song lyrics is about how a star still wants to shine amidst all the darkness despite feeling like it's alone. Because by doing so, at least it radiates some light to other stars and they can in turn do so. And it reminds how people are the same that even though they are apart, they still radiate and remain connected like stars in the skies.

The song gives such a good feel. It seems to awaken consciousness.

In 1604, when the supernova exploded, it left people amazed by its brightness for 3 weeks. Johannes Kepler was a German mathematician, astronomer, astrologer back then. He did not believe the rumours when people had spotted the splendid sight since 9 October 1604. It was only till 17 October 1604 that he looked at it. Kepler then studied the star for more than a year, which led to huge advancement in the studies in astronomy, math and physics (and maybe astrology ;) ).

This is the chart for when Kepler first discovered the supernova on 17 October 1604.

Astrometria at 18 Scorpio
Astronautica at 15 Leo
Astronomia at 20 Aquarius
Astrowizard at 24 Libra

What's really interesting is how all the "Astro" asteroids are aspected.

Asteroid Kepler quincux Serendip 
It shows Kepler's slightly less than enthusiastic attitude until he noticed his serendipitous find.

Sun conjunct Astrowizard at fixed star Spica/Arcturus 
A very lucky astronomical find blessed by the 2 most fortunate stars.

Uranus opposite Mercury-Astrometria, squaring Moon-Astronautica
There were groundbreaking changes in teachings in astrometry after the event since the assumption made by Aristotle that celestial spheres were unchanging didn't hold anymore.

Asteroid Pholus conjunct Astronomia/Discovery
Asteroid Discovery opposite Astronautica
A turning point in astronomy, a discovery made towards astronautical travels (to the moon).

The T-square to Moon-Astronautica didn't make sense to me as space travel wasn't happening then but later I found out Kepler wrote a novel called Somnium (The Dream) in 1608 about travelling to the moon to look at how planets move from another perspective. How apt. It's very possible the book was inspired from the event, and his book inspired future generations of the idea of space travels.

Pluto conjunct South Node
North Node at 29 Libra
A powerful transformation of the past. The supernova explosion actually happened in the past before it was seen in 1604 since it takes around 20000 light years for the vision to travel to our planet.

The Sabian Symbol for North Node is "Mankind's vast enduring effort to reach for knowledge transferable from generation to generation."

***

On 17 April 2014, NASA revealed that its Kepler program, a mission to find Earth-size planets, had succeeded in finding the first validated, Earth-size planet called Kepler-186f. Kepler-186f orbits around a red dwarf.

The announcement was made at 2 p.m EDT.

Astrometria at 6 Capricorn
Astronautica at 13 Aries
Astronomia at 8 Cancer
Astrowizard at 5 Leo

There was a Grand Cardinal Cross between Mars, Pluto, Mercury-Uranus, Jupiter.

North Node at 29 Libra
Again, the same Sabian Symbol is spotted "Mankind's vast enduring effort to reach for knowledge transferable from generation to generation."

Asteroid Kepler conjunct Astronomia, opposite Astrometria, trine Neptune
Kepler's new achievement in his dreams in astronomy, and also astrometry

Vesta conjunct Interkosmos
A dedication towards bridging of worlds in the name of diplomacy

Jupiter conjunct Somnium at fixed star Sirius
Uranus conjunct Astronautica, squaring Jupiter-Somnium
An blazing expansion of a dream. Kepler's Somnium perhaps? ;)
A new challenging difficulty in space travels arises from it.

A Grand Water Trine between Serendip, Jupiter-Somnium, Venus-Chiron-Neptune
A serendipitous find in the expansion of our dreams. Bridging old wounds idealistically in the name of love for our survival.

Moon-Saturn squaring Venus-Neptune
There's an uncertainty about the idealism but emotions are bonded with responsibility.

A Kite between Jupiter, Saturn (weak), Chiron-Venus with Pluto at the apex.
Pluto conjunct Vertex
Pluto in the Grand Cardinal Cross
The apex point of a kite will fly the kite. Pluto, the planet of transformations, will be the driving force for resolving challenges ahead. Pluto is also in Capricorn, the dictator. But I remain unsure because of the grand cross involvement. It just seems hard to balance between the cross and the kite.

Asteroid Astrowizard conjunct BML in 12th house.
Does this mean an advancement in astronomy and space travel in its darkest relam? As BML can be so unpredictable, I can't figure this out exactly. And I don't like that it's in the 12th House. It just feels too much uncertainty over something I don't really understand.

I'm not sure if anyone is planning an expedition to Kepler-186f. It's very likely someone would but I remain apprehensive about it.

And I suppose this marks the starting age of locating habitable worlds outside of Earth.

Kepler's Dream.
