According to Magdalene Publishing author Paula Lawlor: “In 1279, St. Louis’ nephew, Charles II (Prince of Salerno and Count of Provence) acquired knowledge that the relics were buried in the town of St. Maximin in the church with the same name, so he ordered excavations in Saint Maximin to search for them. On December 10, 1279, deep in the earth, he found the marble tomb. When he tried to open it a wonderful smell of perfume filled the air. Inside lay her entire body except her jaw bone. In the dust inside the tomb was a wooden tablet wrapped in wax: ‘Here lies the body of Mary Magdalene’ and a parchment which explained that in 710 her remains had been secretly transferred during the night into the marble tomb of Cedonius and hidden so that the Saracens wouldn’t find them.”
On the very day of the exhumation of Mary Magdalene’s body at St. Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume in 1279, Pluto, the planet of death and rebirth, was moving at 17°32-33 Capricorn (the house where Pluto takes down authority structures, according to astrologers), at what would come to conjunct my 16°52 Capricorn Mid-Heaven as the tomb was opened, the Mid-Heaven or “middle of the sky” being the point for an individual “that represents the most public parts of life” (career, fame, reputation, the masculine). The New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aries (or the birth of spring) on 20 April 2023 aligned exactly to the degree and minute of my Ascendant and Descendant [which forms the horizons of that Mid-Heaven] at 29°49 Aries/Libra just before the Lunar Eclipse in the depths of Scorpio. It was exactly quincunx to 29°49 of my Anaretic Moon in Virgo, conjunct John’s Venus at 29°10.
(Those minutes of his and mine together of 49 & 10 are the Genesis prophecy with my name and our birthdays.)
My Descendant is compounded by conjuncting the “expanding, crowning” Jupiter at the Classic Critical Cardinal 26°29 of Libra, the balancing scales. [As I was writing this], Jupiter was at 28°35 conjuncting my Ascendant as it moved exact into the upcoming New Moon in Taurus–the body, fixed earth, ruler: Venus. The North Node, the collective future path, is also conjuncting. It will be within 2° at the new Moon. Eris, the dwarf planet and Goddess of Discord who began the Trojan War by demonstrating the false values based on surfaces of the feminine, is also conjuncting.
In July 2023, the collective North and South Nodes (“the collective future and past”) is exact on my birth horizon and my Natal Jupiter, crowning and expanding in Libra.
In exact opposition to that Pluto from 1279 (and my mid-heaven) is my Natal Sun 17°34, a separation of that Pluto of only one minute which happened within a day, and my alignment being one expressing the drive to write: Sun (creative drive), Mercury (writing, communication, media) & Mars (will and action) conjunct in Cancer, the house of protection, nurturance, the feminine, and home. John’s & my Mars, or our drive and actions of that drive and writing, are aligned there, conjunct at 24° & 25° Cancer, or “Home Life.” That is where Mars is the day I am writing this [10 May 2023], at 24°18. Uranus, the Great Awakener, is currently at 18°59 Taurus conjuncting my Natal Saturn 19°58, those long-term goals in my 1st house of physical identity, where the Sun is right now, 19°41. (Today is Bono’s birthday, or that poetic bard voice of John’s quest for the “Joshua Tree of Vaginas.”) Mars will be conjuncting our Natal Mars at the anaretic on the momentous New Moon in Taurus on 19 May 2023.
The Full Moon of 18 July 2023 is exact on John’s and my Mars, conjuncting. That day the Nodes move exact on my Natal Horizon.
