So the synchronicities continue: I 'happened' across the Donnelly book about Comets and mentioned it in my last post, and then, within days, Donnelly's name and another of his books was suddenly becoming a web-wide talking point. Why? Which book? Well he also penned: (read it here) Atlantis, the Antediluvian World and unless you have been off the planet for the last week, you can't fail to have heard the story about the 'apparent' discovery of Atlantis. (Catch up here if this story has eluded you)
Anyway, Google are saying that what can be seen on their maps is nothing more than a remnant of the map making process itself, whilst those who love a good conspiracy are insisting that Google's denial is a little fishy!
What does the great mirror in the sky tell us? Well the Sun has moved into the sign ruled by the God of the sea, Neptune, which is associated with mysteries, whilst the planet Uranus is also in the same sign - Pisces. This points to an overall focus around extraordinary discoveries associated with the Ocean and indeed anything water related, so I'm not surprised this story is picking up speed now.
Uranus in Pisces, however, also relates to waves of the water or light(wave) variety.
News of the find may only have broken worldwide in recent days but according to this site, Larkin and Cynthia Jones first spotted 'Atlantis' one month ago on 22 January 2009. Meanwhile a Mr Bernie Bamford from Chester, UK got his 15 minutes of fame from this by calling The Sun newspaper and claiming he was the one who spotted it on Google. I'll let them slog out who should take the credit for the discovery, although in this astrological climate it is entirely possible they both happened across it separately as the speed of information exchange in the collective unconscious is increasing in line with the information and networking explosion that we are consciously aware of.
If I've lost you there, it's really a difficult subject to broach (as is Jade Goody's plight but I'll try and give an alternative viewpoint on that too, soon) but, suffice to say, if you believe that your thoughts emanate from your brain; inside your skull, and are not broadcast to anyone else, you need to think again. Your brain is just the hardware, your thoughts are the software you choose to use and the information is coming to you ( and going out from you) wirelessly! As a general rule of thumb, although this requires further explanation, what you focus on is what you'll pull in and vice versa. That's the Law of Attraction at work.
Therefore any number of people can pull in the same information from the Mind out there and one person happening upon something on Google can transmit their discovery to someone else on the same vibrational wavelength, either instantly or when they come into alignment with them - making it appear that a coincidence, synchronicity or even a bit of plagiarism has taken place.
Where astrology comes in for helping one to 'collaborate with fate' is it can help us to make sense of the different energetic exchanges at work. For example someone with their Moon in Taurus is more likely to connect more easily to someone who was born when their Sun was in Taurus or perhaps with someone who's Venus was in Cancer at birth, than they are to resonate to someone who has Venus in Leo.
Likewise when transiting planets are congregating in the sign of Aquarius, as they are now, those receptive to Aquarian related events, places, people etc will receive and transmit them more easily and therefore also find themselves more readily mixed up in events of a nature that corresponds to their birthchart placings.
In essence then, Astrology is just like a version of The Radio Times - a magazine that lists the frequencies and timings one needs to be informed about in order to tune into the programmes of their choice.
So, what's with the sudden appearance of Donnelly in my life twice in one week? Is it a synchronicity? Well, synchronicity is just another word for alignment of frequency/wavelength.
I have now gone and located his birthdata and unsurprisingly ( to me) Donnelly and I have multiple natal planets in common and we both have progressions in our birthcharts (his is valid even after death) bringing us into an alignment at this precise time. Over and beyond my personal involvement with his work these last weeks, we note that the transiting planets of this time (for all of us) are aligning with his birthchart, bringing his name to public attention once again.
He is effectively just starting, as we all are, a new Mars/Jupiter cycle at this time, as Mars is exactly conjoined to his birth Jupiter as I write. Also, in this case the transiting planet is Jupiter - the planet of publishing - and it is transiting his natal Uranus, the planet of unusual or generally left field, heretical( and, it must be said, sometimes just downright weird and loopy) information.
Was Ignatius Donnelly correctly interpreting the works of Plato and did he really believe in the existence of Atlantis? In his own reality, yes. And here again we go off into the realms of the weird and wonderful.......
In the perfection and order of the Universe, it may yet transpire that we are all, as a collective, meant to be questioning the existence of lost worlds and we are being alerted to previous times of cataclysms in nature as part of our unfolding purpose and evolution. Or, it may, one day, become apparent that we have cranked up the 'end of the world is nigh, there must be something beyond this' vibration to such a level that we are all attracting stories of this ilk and being brought back into resonance with the works of those who at one time emitted this vibration (and therefore, at some level and plane of existence still are).
If anyone knew what was really going on we'd have the secret of existence in our palm. All I know is that, via astrology, we can perceive the unity in all things.
I'll leave you to ponder the charts. This one shows today on the outside against Donnelly's birthchart in the middle wheel. The picture at the top shows where Donnelly thought Atlantis would be found - near the Azores and Canary Islands!
