Haym Solomon

Living in California my whole life the historical markers I grew up with are so different from the East Coaster's childhoods. American History as it is written in history books is so accessible to people on the East Coast. They can visit the sites.

As a child I visited Spanish Missions. The swallows came back to Capistrano every year. The friars and the Catholics and the Mexicans and the Indians were mentioned on the placards I guess but nobody read that stuff. We were there for the birds.

When I was older I played my harp at a wedding in an incredible Mission in San Diego and, Dude, the acoustics were awesome. One certainly didn't read the plagues that are set up in that place.

I think it might almost be impossible to know what the real history of California is at this point. I suspect that almost nobody would have been able to live in Southern California because of the mudslides and wildfires. It is said that the Native Americans would intentionally set fires in order to control when they happened. Once I went to an exhibit of Native American basket weaving and those baskets gave a lot of information. The baskets from Washington State area were finely detailed and crafted. You could tell those guys could sit down and concentrate for hours and hours. But, in comparison, the baskets from the California tribes were sort of all over the place. I mean, they were in pretty much the same style, but put together roughly and looked sort of like they were created while under the influence of some mind altering problem. ADHD and Divorce must have plagued the natives, even back then. I had never realized how an exhibit like that could tell so much about the differences of the psychology and probably of the life style of the people who made them.

What am I babbling about here?

Oh yeah, the Jew who funded the American Revolution. That's someone you never hear about. Thing is, all I really remember after visiting the grave of Benjamin Franklin in Philadelphia is the pauper's grave of the guy next door to Ben. This was a guy named Haym Solomon who immigrated from Poland in the 18th Century. He had traveled around Europe before coming to the States and had learned about finance. According to the placard on his grave, he provided much of the money that was used to fight the Revolution against England. And he died bankrupt. He is forgotten and unknown, but he is lying there right next door to Ben. It's the strangest thing. I don't think the folks on the East Coast know what they've got there.

Can't find Haym's birthdate. Wikipedia claims that he was born in 1740 in Leszno Poland. This means that he was born while Pluto (planet of other people's money and bankruptcy) is in its own sign while he was born. Sure wish I could get a date for this guy. Whichever end of the year you look at the outer planet activity there's something going on. Uranus in Capricorn was in conjunction with the South Node for pretty much the entire year. That sets up the theme of the Revolutionary for everyone born that year.

At the beginning of 1740 Saturn in Cancer would have been opposing Uranus and in conjunction with the North Node. Towards the end of the year Neptune and Jupiter would have been in conjunction with the North Node in Cancer. That's a lot of Rebellion against Government and Idealistic Thinking about setting up new forms of "Homeland."

At any rate, Thanks, Haym.

Boy Hackers and Girl Sailors - The Amazing Uranus-Neptune Conjunction Generation

As Pluto is entering Capricorn and moving up to the spot where the big Capricorn conjunction of 1989-1993 was it's interesting to see what the kids who were born around that time are up to. They had to do something spectacular early on in life. Capricorn is born old so it makes sense that these kids would have a head start. Saturn, Uranus and Capricorn all rule the signs and section of the chart that is most aware of how society works on a large scale. On the heels of that conjunction, Pluto might back track a bit into Scorpio vibes, but Pluto rules Fame.

I found out about the first kids because the company who runs my virus program sent me an email saying that there is a new worm or virus or thingee whatever it is running around that nobody can do much about. My program tells me how many attacks I get per day/week/and month and the numbers have escalated since I filed my taxes online. So, gray hair girl here is gonna wrinkle pretty bad over this. I believe this thing is called a "Trojan." It's called a P2P worm, or thingee, I certainly don't know the difference, but right now I'm not feeling like I don't have Odysseus on my side. P2P means peer-to-peer. That's so Uranus-Neptuney.

At any rate, one of the people who made the original P2P worm, virus, trojan thingee was a kid. He was 19 when he was caught (Pisces Node Return, self-undoing). Obviously a genius. When the Feds caught him they only gave him 5 years' probation because they needed to hire him to work for them. The thing he created was the Nugache worm. I think what I'm worried about now is the Heloag Trojan but can't be real certain about that.

While studying this kid I found another kid over in New Zealand who did the same thing. He was caught and was also hired. Interesting that both boys were born in 1989 right as the Uranus-Neptune conjunction in Capricorn along with Saturn. They were born in early stages of the conjunction.

Both boys are said to have Asperger's Syndrome and so have very introverted personalities. They had to leave school early because they couldn't fit in. And they sat at home on the computer teaching themselves programming. Meanwhile they became a huge presence anywhere they wanted to in the world.

Jason Milmont (Nugache Worm) was working out of Cheyenne, Wyoming. Owen Walker, hacker, was working out of New Zealand. Jason Milmont's birthday is maybe Mar. 8, 1989.

In 1989, Saturn and Pluto were both very strongly placed in their own signs. When these two work together there can be a tendency to apply too much force in some way. That's great when they are working on the right side of the law.

On the other end of the Spectrum (no pun intended) there's another set of Uranus-Neptune conjunction kids. Adventurers who are taking the physical world on. And fun thing is they are female!

These are two 16 year old girls. This brings new meaning to that old Sweet 16 and Never been Kissed Motto. Both girls have been attempting to sail Solo and Nonstop around the world. One is from the U.S. and one is from Australia.

Abby Sunderland of Thousand Oaks, CA has had mechanical problems with the autopilot on her boat and is being forced to stop so she won't break the record. But, it looks like Jessica Watson of Australia really will complete her goal. There's a 14 year old girl in Europe who plans to set out next year to try to break Watson's record.

Both Sunderland and Watson were born in 1993 while Uranus and Neptune were in very tight conjunction at 20 Capricorn and 22-23 Capricorn respectively. They both have Saturn in Aquarius. Pluto is still in Scorpio. Both have Sun in strong contact with Jupiter in Libra. Free and independent thinkers who've got a good dose of luck.

I think the girls have been sailing in opposite directions of each other. Watson is finishing ahead of schedule, having gone towards the East. Sunderland has been struggling. She even managed to be out on the ocean during the tsunami warning from the Chile earthquake. And as I said, she has to stop to get some equipment fixed.

Suicides at Cornell

Cornell University in Ithaca, New York has been put on suicide alert as 6 students have committed suicide during the current school year. 3 committed suicide during the Fall, 2009 semester and 3 more have committed suicide since the 2010 Winter/Spring Semester began.

I'll list the names and birth information that I have found for the 3 students who passed most recently. All 3 were white male and all 3 jumped off the bridges that apparently surround the school. From what I can gather Cornell had a high suicide rate in the early 2000's, especially among its Asian students. (some sort of Pluto in Sagittarius transit due to Sagittarius rulership of international affairs?) Between about 2005-2008 there were no suicides.

The 3 young men who are listed below were born while Pluto was in Scorpio and just as Uranus and Neptune were in conjunction in Capricorn. This is going to be more reserved and driven generation. They are probably more vulnerable to not thinking they can live up to all their ambitions. These are slow moving planets that a generation shares.

Pluto/Scorpio is related to all topics that are taboo, such as Sex, Death and Other people's money. This generation won't show its feelings easily only to express it self in a crisis type of manner. The Capricorn planets, Uranus and Neptune, can show a generation that is very aware of what doesn't work in the world. They will either be intolerant of such problems or will go to great lengths to fix the problems. Either way, they might be either more insecure than other generations, or colder in feeling. I heard that a pair of students who observed one of the jumpers made sure that 911 had been called and then left the scene. This is the practical Capricorn mentality. Capricorn is very ambitious and success oriented and has a great fear of failure. These kids need some touchy feely. Oh, yes they do. Yes, those cute little Cornell kids, bite your head off with their big fat brains, Goochy-goochy-goo most certainly do. I doubt they spent much time playing tickle games as kids and just laughing. Oh yeah, they were probably all disciplined with that "Time Out" slogan. That's so Capricorn (rules "time"). Bah. They're not like us Pluto in Virgos who were just fine sitting in front of the Boob Tube for hours. We had Pisces on the other end of our Axis. Time to bring back goofy Cancer comedy gags. Hope I'm wrong. I can see them standing in utter mortification at reading this.

Either way, this is the generation that is probably most advanced culture-wise. They might not have a sense of their own individuality, however.

Either way, they were born during a serious recession and they might have been more vulnerable to the current one, i.e. the Saturn-Uranus-Pluto t-square.

May these young kids' spirits' Rest in Peace. I send my condolences to their families.

The information is here for anyone who wants to study it maybe later down the line. I didn't save the sources, but tried to get it off of obituaries.
