From 2007…

Hi Elsa, I’ve been noticing lately that when in discussions with friends their Sun sign brings out my house placement. For example my Moon is in Leo in the 4th house. When talking to my Leo sun sign friends we end up always talking about our early families: our parents , our grandparents, aunts and uncles and siblings. Same with Libra ruling my 6th House. With my Libra Sun sign friends we invariably end up talking about our health issues.

What do you make of this? Can others relate? Or is this so obvious and basic astrology?

Melody Zindell comments on the Piece Of Work Boyfriend Is Back blog:

“A favorite book of mine, one that I am quite passionate about relative to helping people lift the veils of subtle and insidious control is "Controlling People: How to Recognize, Understand, and Deal With People Who Try to Control You " by Patricia Evans. Some of us are more susceptible than others, but it is the m.o. of the world in general and so we don’t even realize what’s happening. The book can be a real eye opener.”

This was the follow up to the Crimes Of Passion piece in 2008. I was surprised at the results of the poll (repeated below). Very few of you (7% in 2008, 9% in 2010) believe there is no such thing as a crime of passion when hard research shows otherwise. “I lost my mind and killed her?” Turns out this is something criminals tell juries and judges and lawyers but it is not what they tell Lonnie Athens.

I’m home from the library with a book, History Of Magical and Experimental Science by Lynn Thorndyke.  The book was on hold for me, I don’t remember placing the hold but obviously I did.

I sat down and cracked the book open thinking it was a book on prisons, published in the 1930′s that I am waiting to read.  The book is old (published in 1958) and has no cover so I just thought that was what I had in my hand. I just wanted to get a flavor of my prison book and instead I read this about, Bernardo Cesi, (1581 – 1630).

“Cesi still regards it as certain that the heaven and stars act upon and influence this lower world, which they do by their motion, light and occult influence…”

What are the odds?

Carl Panzram (28 June 1891 – 5 September 1930) writes in notes that were published in 1970, in Killer a Journal of Murder:

“In my lifetime I have murdered 21 human beings, I have committed thousands of burglaries, robberies, larcenies, arsons and, last but not least, I have committed sodomy on more than 1,000 male human beings. For all these things I am not in the least bit sorry. I have no conscience so that does not worry me. I don’t believe in man, God nor Devil. I hate the whole damn human race including myself.

If you or anyone else will take the trouble and have the intelligence or patience to follow and examine every one of my crimes, you will find that I have consistently followed one idea throughout my life. I preyed on the week, the harmless, and the unsuspecting.”

He’s got a stellium in Gemini with Mercury in a tight trine to Uranus.  Jupiter in Pisces trines Mars – this chart is prolific and if there was ever an example of energy being neutral until directed, this is it.

“It is not a murder book, at least not yet,” I told my husband on the phone. “It’s about Italy after the war at the moment and it’s engaging. This is a very good book, well written and interesting.” (House of Versace)

“Okay.”

“Okay, so they were poor. The Versace family. Everyone was, after the war.  They had very little, they were peasants but the mother was talented. She was a seamstress. All the fashion came out of Paris at the time but she’d buy the couture patterns, the high end stuff from Paris and she’d make the clothes but she’d add some flair. She’d put an Italian spin on the clothes, I guess you could say. Sex them up a bit.”

To combine two recent topics on this blog, I started reading, Zero at the Bone: The Playboy, the Prostitute, and the Murder of Bobby Greenlease last night. It is the story the kidnapping and murder of a 6 year old boy in 1953, Bobby Greenlease. I have become interested in police tactics and the justice system in this era and the blurb on the book was incredibly promising.

Bobby was killed shortly after he was kidnapped but the kidnappers, a man/woman team received $600,000 in ransom money, the highest ransom ever paid at the time. The perps were caught right away (this is all in the blurb on the book), and the couple was executed together (in the same gas chamber) just 81 days after the murder. So that’s the story, I cracked the book to read it and I couldn’t even get through the prologue without having the problem.

From 2007 – Please excuse the tears in this. I left them in because they are Venus / Neptune of course. Stephen Arroyo’s book is linked below. So is Leonard Cohen’s Energy of Slaves. I think my 8th house is also vividly displayed here. I get pregnant… easy.

UPDATE in 2009, I wound up sending the book of poems to the soldier’s son when he was in Iraq…
