Have you checked out that Kona Blue document that was declassified?

Key Carson:

“No comment, my dear brother,” Rep. Andre Carson exclusively tells Ask a Pol.

But wait, if you’re just saying, ‘No comment’, then that means they didn’t declassify it all.

“I don't know, my brother,” Carson says.

What’s flying over US secure airspace? Hobbyists?

“What does your gut say? Gun to your head (a water gun)?” Carson pushes Ask a Pol’s Matt Laslo.

No, that was my question to you. Cause if this is foreign adversaries, I mean…

“If this were a game show, what would your guess be?” Carson presses.

Not like we’re playing. We're playing for real here. But, like, do you guys got it? I mean, US airspace was invaded last year by China. Like, are they doing enough?

“I just think the environment is rapidly changing, my brother,” Carson replies. “So, you always have to be on alert. You never know what's gonna happen. You know, I think that — that's why these public hearings are so tricky, you know? Because people are listening for context and clues.”

Saw an interview with one of the scientists doing this and he said it will take a few months for analysis but he says right now he thinks the chances they've discovered life is 50/50.

That being said we've talked about this in the thread before and even if they confirm that it is emitting this type of gas that is only produced by life most scientists won't consider it confirmation of life because they'll say there could still be other sources we just don't know are possible. NASA has an official scale for what type of evidence it needs to have in order to confirm alien life and it's so strict that there really isn't any way to pass it if observing from afar, they need their hands on it.

LITERALLY A BIRD: Sep 27, 2008; I knew you were trouble
when you flew in

e: also, Sniper, if you'd like to figure out your moon and rising astro.com does pretty good birth charts. If you plug in your info it will pop you out a chart with your stars and houses and then if you're interested in learning a little more about it you can use Riot Bimbo's post as a guide and Google the things you see in yours to find out what they might mean.

I don't remember astro's default orbs settings but be sure it include Chiron at least. It's an asteroid, not a planet, but it's said to represent your "deepest wound." My Chiron is in Cancer for example, and when you Google that websites will talk about people with Chiron in Cancer having lots of family-inflicted early life trauma, and a constant fear of abandonment. I perceive this to be accurate! You can contrast it with Demilich's Chiron in Gemini, which is a wound that involves not being able to communicate effectively. If my Chiron were in Gemini I would not perceive that as accurate for myself.

Natal charts can provide a lot of really interesting insights into the self, even just by looking at the signs and houses involved and comparing them to your lived experience. If you get really into it like RB is you can start picking out particular structures too, with how the planetary bodies are interacting with each other and how that affects you. But even something like "oh, my Pluto is in my first house" or what your rising sign may be gives you interesting insights into your self and how others perceive you.

I'm so sorry, friend

love and support to you and your family. Learn to play the bodhran anyway, in his honor, and weave good memories of him through the music you make with it. Our loved ones never really leave us. They are there every time, every place we look for them in our own lives. May he rest well, and his memory provide strength and inspiration for those who love him.

But even something like "oh, my Pluto is in my first house" or what your rising sign may be gives you interesting insights into your self and how others perceive you.

Nativities are great starting points. To me astrology starts becoming interesting once the nativity is established and we begin doing more comparative work, trying to help people navigate life. You can generate a chart for anything you can time and date. If you have the date of incorporation for where one works, you can compare an individual nativity to the chart of the business (setting the ascendant for things where precise times aren't available is tricky, but you can use things like the moment of filing, when available, or the first day of operation, the start of the first day of work, etc.)

And it's in that kind of comparative work that I have the most fun.

An example would be comparing Rachel Dolezal's nativity (which is, weirdly, available and the data source is rated pretty high), to the date of her first controversy, and her most recent one (she got popped selling onlyfans pics while working as a teacher lol), and it's seriously striking - both times, in slightly different circumstances, the universe elevated her to main character largely to ruin her loving life, and it's explicitly readable in these charts - fate can be really brutal lol

but yeah, the nativity is just the starting point, but i'd be lying if i said I didn't love helping people work through theirs, but there's so much more one can do.

oh certainly. But we learn to walk before we can successfully run, and Sniper not knowing their moon or ascendant speaks to maybe being a little closer to the walking lessons than the ones you're talking about. I agree with you that knowing even just a little bit of "real" astrology can benefit a person a great deal.
