Saturn in Retrogrades and Conjunctions Too

In my past blog article and YouTube postings, I have pointed out that the planets Jupiter and Mercury are simultaneously retrograding, proclaiming the importance of the great celestial sign as foretold in Revelation 12:1 and 2. Now I have even more evidence to add to this—Saturn has also been retrograding during the same time frame and comes into conjunction with a star of great significance. Wait until you see what it has been circling and what it means.

Saturn changes constellations about every two years and has been ever so slowly retrograding around the left foot of the constellation Ophiuchus with the main constellation of Scorpio. The retrograde began on March 26, 2017 and terminated on August 28, 2017. The circle Saturn drew on the ecliptic path was relative to the star Saiph.






“Ophiuchus” is a Greek name that means “serpent holder,” which shows the aggressiveness of this symbol that represents Messiah. It’s depicted as one of heaven’s “giants” wrestling a snake and stomping a scorpion, then being stung by the scorpion and bruised in the process. Jesus of Nazareth referred to the truth of this constellation in Luke 10:19.

Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.                                                                                                                                        Luke 10:19

The star that Saturn has been pointing out in its retrograde is the one on the left (from our perspective) in Ophiuchus’ heel. This star has the Hebrew name Saiph, which means “bruised,” and it is same word that it is used in Genesis 3:15.

And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel.                                                                                                                       Genesis 3:15

Genesis 3:15 prophesies that the seed of the woman, the Messiah, would crush the head of the serpent’s seed, bruising His heel in the process.

In my previous blog on the conjunctions and retrogrades of Jupiter and Mercury, I made a big deal about conjunctions and the dates they occurred. During the five-month period of time that Saturn retrograded around Ophiuchus’ left foot, there is no doubt that it also came into conjunction three times with Saiph, although Saturn’s movement is so slow that it’s difficult to pinpoint the exact dates. However, the fact that it repeated this conjunction three times is what brings so much significance to the message it was announcing—“I am coming to crush Satan under My foot. I am coming to fulfill Genesis 3:15. I will put down all rebellion and disobedience.”


Saturn

Out of all the planets in our solar system, Saturn’s name and meaning has probably been the most distorted and misunderstood. Perhaps because its name resembles “Satan” in English, it has received a bad reputation; but hopefully, the following explanation will help redeem it. Although Saturn is the name of the Roman god of agriculture, plenty, and harvest, the more plausible etymological explanation is that it came from the Hebrew name, shabatti, where the Hebrew word “sabbath” also came from, meaning “seventh” or “sanctified.” In scriptural numerology, “7” means “perfect,” “complete,” or “mature.” This understanding of Saturn’s name represents completeness and maturity, rather than Satan and the picture of the devil dressed in a red suit. With that in mind, Saturn could represent the complete and finished works of the Messiah; and its retrograde around Saiph, the bruised, begins to make sense.

Saturn’s retrograde shows the Messiah’s complete and finalized work as He throws down Satan and his minions. The circle that Saturn has been drawing around Ophiuchus’ foot has been declaring the fulfillment of Genesis 3:15. It says, “I am coming to finish my work. I am coming to crush the head of Satan and to throw him out of heaven.”

This parallels the message of Revelation 12:7ff and its prophecy of a war in heaven waged by Michael and his angels against Satan and his angels. The message of Saturn’s retrograde in Ophiuchus’ foot is this: Satan will be cast down, which will transfer the war in heaven to Earth and bring to pass the next section of Revelation 12.

Note: Even if we attribute satanic characteristics to Saturn, it was still retrograding around, or under, the foot of Ophiuchus, so the meaning would be the same—Satan is cast down and is underfoot.


Strong Words

Remember that three retrogrades were occurring simultaneously in the heavens during the solar eclipse of August 21st. One of the ways to interpret the significance of an eclipse is to search out the darkness around it during its totality to see what is being declared. Jupiter, the king planet was retrograding around Spica, saying “The kingdom of heaven is coming to Earth.” (It could have also been saying that the bride is going to the wedding chamber in heaven.) Meanwhile Mercury, the messenger, was circling Regulus, proclaiming, “The King is coming and a new sheriff is coming to town!”  And Saturn, the finisher of faith was saying, “I will throw down the thief and claim my kingdom.” In the mouth of two or three witnesses let every truth be established. These are not the words of a hit-or-miss human prophet—these are the celestial witnesses that are the true messengers, foreordained by God to announce these times of the coming of the Lord.

These are strong words. But for those who are looking for the Lord and the promise of His coming, they are words of comfort and hope. On the other hand, to the foolish, unprepared virgins (Matthew 25:1ff), it is a time for some last-minute preparations before they are forced to face the dire consequences.

I believe that the signs in Revelation 12:1 and 2, as well as verses 3 and 4, are heavenly warnings of what is to take place shortly on Earth. I can see the possibility of the bride being taken, because Revelation 12:17 indicates that there will be some believers left. (The rest of Revelation 13 and 14 also chronicles some of that action.) It is not a place where you want to be. Yet, can you imagine the witness to the world if the bride of Christ were taken off the Earth? It could quite possibly evoke rage and envy from Israel and hatred from the rest of the world. What a witness it would be for those who are saved but will need to go through more tribulation to be purified.

We can play a lot of “what if” games but that does not alter reality. The will of God, which He planned a long time ago, is coming to pass on Earth; and He is, and has been, announcing it in the heavens.  

Jupiter, the king planet said it, Mercury the messenger confirms it, and Saturn, the final word, establishes it. The King is coming, and He will cast down Satan.


Even so, come quickly Lord Jesus.

Magi Alert!!! The Alpha and Omega of September 23rd, 2017 Retrogrades of Mercury and Jupiter

Millions of eyes were focused on the skies of August 21st during the Great American Eclipse; and now as we look toward the September 23rd phenomenon, another secret treasure is unfolding. Mercury, Kova Chammah—the Sun’s messenger—has been retrograding since July 25, and will continue doing so until September 9, 2017, around the omega star Regulus. In addition, Jupiter, Tsedeq—the king planet—has also been retrograding around the alpha star Spica in Virgo, the virgin. These retrogrades, which bookend the September 23rd event that is taking place at the beginning and ending of the Mazzaroth (between Virgo and Leo), are heralding the coming of Alpha and Omega!

As if this were not enough, during the solar eclipse, Mercury’s retrograde was drawing a circle around the Earth, Moon, Sun, and Regulus—all while the world was watching the eclipse. The signs in the background of the Sun contained a great mystery; and the daytime curtain was pulled back for all to see it. The truth was no longer hiding but was brought out in plain sight as the Sun was blacked out by the Moon’s shadow; so anyone in the path of totality was able to see this wonder. An amazing four-celestial-sphere linear conjunction was in plain sight during the Great American Eclipse 2017. What does all this mean?

When the probabilities of all these signs and wonders in the skies are considered, they should dazzle any mathematician and statistician. My recent YouTube post on the event of September 23rd, at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QP3SicH2NPI, shows the almost inconceivable probability of the celestial lineup of this date—19.25 quadrillion to 1. And now there is data that confirms the importance of the event with additional celestial understanding of its meaning.  

This exciting news should thrill anyone who believes in the intricacies of the celestial, eternal God-clock and His ever-watchful care over His Word. Remember the key to unlocking the mysteries of the heavens is the same one for unlocking the Bible: It is all about the Messiah. Many of us already know His name; but we need to pray that millions more come to know Him through the messages being practically shouted from the heavens during this time. Please share this news and check out the link at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCg15HWE2R4zAanq88xM6Avw.


Alpha and Omega

Alpha (A) and Omega (Ω) are the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet, or aleph and tav in Hebrew. They mean “beginning” and “end,” respectively, and form a type of an encoded name for Messiah, found in Revelation 1:8. There is a definite beginning and ending marker in the zodiac, specifically between Virgo and Leo. This recent discovery in the celestial scriptures concerning these two retrograde bookends frames the huge significant sign in the heavens that will occur on September 23rd. The one bookend retrograde occurs in Virgo (the beginning of the zodiac) and the other is happening in Leo (the ending constellation of the zodiac). I have been teaching my fellow magi the importance of retrogrades as a means of interpreting the celestial messages for some time now. With these two currently going on above us at such a pivotal time, we will see this applied in a very real way. I cannot overemphasize the depth of this truth—it is layers and layers deeper than most stargazers could conceptualize; and I am not saying this to be condescending, but to express the depth and importance of it.  

It will be necessary to cover a brief lesson in Christological astronomy in order to grasp the significance of this alpha and omega truth. The Mazzaroth (the Hebrew name for the zodiac) begins in the constellation of Virgo. Virgo represents the virgin (Mary) who gave birth to the Messiah. It then ends in the constellation of Leo, which represents the lion of the tribe of Judah—the King of kings. They are the beginning (Alpha) and end (Omega) of the circle of ecliptic constellations that tell the story of Messiah.

·         He was born of a virgin (Virgo)
·         He was a sacrifice for sin (Libra)
·         He was wounded (Scorpio)
·         He overcame death and Satan (Sagittarius)
·         He was raised from the dead (Capricorn)
·         He gave the Holy Spirit to His followers (Aquarius)
·         Which empowered them to rule over Satan (Pisces)
·         And to reign in life (Aries)
·         He is coming as the bull (Taurus)
·         For His bride (Gemini)
·         To reign with Him (Cancer)
·         As the Lion—King of kings (Leo)

There is even now a celestial light show taking place in Virgo around the star Spica, or Al Zemach—the righteous offspring, and in Leo around its primary star Regulus, known as the King star and the omega star of the Mazzaroth. Not only are the retrogrades occurring in the alpha and omega constellations (the beginning and ending constellations of the Mazzaroth), but they are specifically around Spica, the alpha star of the heavens, and Regulus, the King Star of Leo, which we are designating as the omega star of the Mazzaroth. These simultaneous retrogrades are messages at the beginning and the end of the Mazzaroth and signify that the First and the Last—Jesus—is coming to Earth.

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. ~Revelation 1:8

Celestially, the Lord is the Alpha and the Omega, the Virgo and the Leo, and the Righteous Branch and the Coming King. These two retrogrades are signaling the coming of the Alpha and the Omega.  




Simultaneous Conjunctions

Furthermore, when two celestial bodies align with the celestial north within a certain degree boundary, another astronomical event occurs called a conjunction.1 On September 9th, Mercury, the messenger, will be in conjunction with the omega star Regulus and Jupiter will be in conjunction with the alpha star Spica. Both of these planets will be directly aligned on that day with the major stars of the two constellations. Then, within two weeks, as these two planets continue in their movement, they will both be in exact positions to fulfill the celestial picture from Revelation 12:1 and 2. It is beginning to look like the woman (Virgo) is the bride of Christ, and the King (Leo) is the Bridegroom—the Coming King. Could it be that He is coming to take His bride away in preparation for His 1,000-year reign upon the Earth?

Has anyone considered that Jesus may have been referring to Jupiter coming out of the womb of Virgo as the fulfillment of Matthew 24:8 when He said that the beginning of tribulation begins with birth pangs?

All these are the beginning of birth pains. ~Matthew 24:8 (NIV)

It appears this September 23rd date may be a good candidate for the beginning of the Great Tribulation. Mercury, the prophetic herald, and Jupiter, the King, are saying this. This might be the post-figure and celestial re-presentation of John the Baptist announcing the coming of Jesus of Nazareth, proclaiming, “The kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Let’s not overlook the truth that John the Baptist and Jesus both commanded the people to repent to prepare for it.


Retrograde of Mercury

Who pointed out the fact that during the magnificent solar eclipse of August 21
st, Mercury, the Sun’s messenger, was retrograding directly around the eclipse? I admit that I did not see that while my wife and I were privileged enough to witness its totality in Casper, Wyoming. During totality, when we removed our solar shields, I looked for Regulus, but the alignment was only 1 degree away and the corona of the Sun obscured it. But, regardless it was there, even though I could not observe it at the time with my naked eyes. Regulus was in direct alignment with the Sun, Moon, and Earth in the heart of Leo the Lion of the tribe of Judah. In other words, the Earth, the Moon, the Sun, and the star Regulus were in conjunction. Four celestial spheres in alignment and conjunction is quite rare indeed. Yet, as an additional surprise, Mercury was drawing a circle around it—showing its extreme significance.

A retrograde is what led the wise men (the magi) to Jesus in Nazareth (not Bethlehem) when He was a young child (not a newborn baby). Retrogrades are optical illusions that occur when one celestial object overtakes another moving celestial object. When observing the background behind the other object, it (the second object) appears to go backwards and then forward.

In this sense, it appears that a planet stops for a brief time and then goes briefly backwards, and then stops again and reverses back into its prograde movement. This makes it seem to draw a circle or ellipse in that portion of the sky. When any planet begins its retrograde motion, it appears to stand still.

When they (the magi) had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.                                                                   Matthew 2:9
Years ago when I was teaching my youngest daughter Elisabeth about astronomy, I asked her, “Do you think it would be important if the planet Mars drew a circle in the sky?” “Oh, my goodness yes!” she exclaimed. Then, with amazing perception, she asked, “What is it drawing the circle around?” Great question, Elisabeth! In the instance of this particular retrograde, Mercury has been drawing a circle around the primary star Regulus since July 25th—almost a month before the Great American Eclipse. As it was drawing its circle around Regulus, it also came into conjunction with it three times, as if it was repeating it for emphasis. As the Sun’s messenger, it heralds and announces in much the same way John the Baptist did for Jesus of Nazareth. This is what Mercury is doing for Jupiter in the retrogrades culminating on September 9th when both of them re-enter prograde motion and come into conjunction with the primary star in the respective constellations.

The conjunctions are restating the message of Regulus during the retrograde. The number three means complete; and Regulus has several meanings from ancient languages, including “regal” or “kingly” (Latin) and “to trample under foot” (Hebrew).

The solar eclipse at Regulus and the retrograde around it is pointing to the Alpha constellation of Virgo where Jupiter is moving out of Virgo’s womb. Regulus is playing the role of John the Baptist who announced “prepare the way for the coming of the Lord.” The meaning of Regulus is important—and it is announcing “prepare the way for the coming of the King.”

Certainly, Regulus means king, no doubt. It is the king star in the king constellation; and Jupiter, the king planet, retrograded with it three times in the year of the birth of Jesus of Nazareth. Yet, Regel (its Hebrew name) means “to trample under foot,” which is displayed in the constellations where Leo has its paws over the top of Hydra, the great sea serpent.

The triple conjunction of Mercury around Regulus says the same thing three times: “The King is coming; the King is coming, the King is coming, and He is coming to throw down Satan; He is coming to trample him under foot; and He is coming to rend him to pieces.” These messages are in agreement with Jupiter’s message: “The King arriving,” as announced in Virgo. Remember, these retrogrades are taking place in the Mazzaroth’s Alpha and Omega constellations and stars.

The following table will give you the positions of Mercury and its retrogrades and conjunctions for an approximate two-month period. This is the herald that announces the coming of the King (Revelation 12:1 and 2) and the casting down of Satan (Revelation 12:3 and 4.)

Dancing with Regulus

In addition to all the great signs of September 23, 2017 and Revelation 12:1–4ff, we have seen what the Mercury retrograde means, but the light show is not over. If the attention was not drawn to Jupiter and Spica, we might easily confuse the most important event with what is happening in and around Regulus. In less than two months, Regulus is involved with six major celestial arrangements—one of which was the August 21st solar eclipse.

Remember that Regulus is the Messiah’s Omega star, announcing His coming; and these celestial phenomena mark that prophetic fulfillment. Regulus is also mentioned in Genesis 49:10 as the “lawgiver between the feet of Leo, the lion of the tribe of Judah.”2 In Yeshua of Nazareth’s first coming, Jupiter circled Regulus, showing that He was bringing the new law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus. Mercury’s encircling of Regulus in our current time is pivotal because it is showing that a new law is coming and that there will be a new sheriff in town soon. This is what Mercury and Regulus are saying too. This new sheriff will not tolerate the rebellion of Satan, the dragon, nor any of his cohorts. He will shortly bind Satan for a thousand years. He is not coming with a shepherd’s crook but with a rod of iron, a sword and a serious attitude. (When one enters the battle with an attitude and his vesture dipped in blood, he is obviously not there to negotiate.) The archangel Michael will enforce the rule (Revelation 12:5ff), and Satan will be cast down—according to the new lawgiver’s (symbolized by Regulus) new laws for His millennial reign. Rebellion will not be tolerated. The King is coming to rule with a rod of iron. Repenting ahead of time is the key to receiving Him with joy and not trepidation.

This many conjunctions of Regulus within a two-month time period is highly unusual and rarely duplicated. In light of Jupiter’s retrograde in Virgo, it is unprecedented. The bookend retrogrades of Jupiter around Spica in Virgo and Mercury around Regulus in Leo are breathtaking, but Regulus’ participation in its eclipse alignment with the Sun, Moon, and Earth is beyond the realm of possible recurrence.  


Summary

The retrogrades of Jupiter and Mercury simultaneously being in conjunction with the Alpha and Omega stars of Spica and Regulus make up the bookends of the great sign of Revelation 12:1–4. The addition of the triple retrogrades of Mercury underwrites the coming judgment foretold in Revelation 12:3 and 4 and the casting down of Satan chronicled in the remainder of Revelation 12–14.

The aligning of the three planets with the crown of nine stars in Leo could symbolically picture a headdress for the bride of Christ as they dutifully march in processional order for the start of the ceremony. Regulus the King, being coronated by Mercury the herald, along with Spica the righteous branch, being honored by the Jupiter the king, make a perfect wedding picture for Virgo and Leo.


Men and Brethren, What Shall We Do (Acts 2:37b)?

This appeal from those who were pricked in their hearts for crucifying the Son of glory seems appropriate for all of us now have the fear of God in us and want to do what is right. In the depth of my heart, I believe the simple command, “Repent,” summarizes what we can do to change any potential outcome. If Yeshua ben Yahweh is coming for His bride, nothing can prevent that, but the outcome for us as individuals can be changed if our lamp is trimmed.

It is feasible that the bride of Christ could be gathered to the Bridegroom on, or about, the day of September 23rd, or shortly afterwards throughout the fall feasts. Meanwhile, the foolish virgins of Matthew 25:1–13 will watch them leave with embarrassment because they were asleep at the switch and were not watching to be ready. Scripturally, the bride of Christ will come out of the body of Christ just like the bride of Adam came out of the body of Adam. It appears that if the bride is taken, then the rest of the body of Christ will be left here during the Great Tribulation. Revelation 12:17–14:20 indicates that the dragon will persecute the remnant of the woman’s seed and those who keep the commandments of Jesus Christ. I believe this pretty much says that there will be some believers who will go through the Great Tribulation—or at least be here after September 23rd. I know a lot of people who confess Jesus as their Lord but need a good scrubbing in their conscience, their soul, and their character; and they will surely get a chance to do so during that time. And they will also have the opportunity during that time to make the choice of either living their faith or taking the mark of the beast and suffering the eternal consequences.

Eternal consequences is a serious issue and we should take these things to heart. The statistical probabilities of the occurrence of these events are almost incomprehensible, and yet they are upon us now with absolute documentation. The ball is already in motion, and there is no possibility of reverse engineering. How fitting that no one could see them until computerized astronomy revealed them to us. We must be living in the end times when knowledge increases (Daniel 12:4). We have been warned.  

These are truly great signs in the heavens accompanying the great sign of Revelation 12:1–4 on September 23rd, 2017.

Coupling these celestial events with biblical prophecies and historical occurrence involving the nation of Israel, the odds are highly favored that the Great Tribulation, or Jacob’s Trouble, may begin this fall. Other celestial phenomenon may be visible in the heavens during this time too. It is a great time to be alive if we are armed with the Truth. We are children of the day and are not to be asleep.

Look up! Your redemption draws nigh. Even so. Come quickly, Lord Jesus.


Notes

1.       Conjunctions are defined as celestial objects aligning toward the celestial north. Currently, astronomers set degree limitations of how close they need to be for it to be considered a conjunction. However, to the ancient magi who measured with their eyes and not a telescope, a conjunction was considered a celestial alignment of at least two spheres that were contained within the same constellation, aligned toward the celestial north.

2.      “Lawgiver,” chaqaq (Hebrew), is used 18 times in the Scriptures.

Christological Astronomy Facilitators Compensation

I have an exciting announcement to make concerning Christological Astronomy. This has been a long time coming, but we are finally in a position to help liberate the ministries of those who are serious students of this subject. We are initiating a trial remuneration program for our certified facilitators who are introducing CA profiles to people from our website at http://astronomy.lmci.org. We believe that the generous remuneration from this apostolic program could potentially finance ministries in many places globally.

Several years ago, the Lord spoke this word to me: “If you can figure out how to maintain integrity within the Christological profile interpretations and pay the facilitators, this will burst into flames.” We are ready to do this now and I am excited to see this word being fulfilled. 

As we have prepared the website and trained facilitators, both in the US and abroad, we have been steadily working toward this remuneration program. We are especially excited to see what it will avail in India where people are addicted to the lies of astrologers and also in Brazil where people have not been poisoned against celestial truth. If we can manage this well, it could possibly help to lead millions to the Lord. Until now, I have been hesitant to release this in India because we needed a plan in place to help disciple those who are won to the Lord. I believe we now have that.  

About 30 individuals have completed the basic Christological Astronomy discipleship training study on our website at http://www.lmci.org/LMDPcurriculum.pdf. Several will be selected to initiate this trial remuneration program, with the hope and faith that this will eventually yield many more “destiny coaches” who will desire the same training and certification.

This new paradigm of ministry has the potential of opening up opportunities for those who desire to help others realize their God-given destinies. Christological Astronomy is the most prophetically rich environment I know of; if we can strip the shackles of prejudice off, the truth will brilliantly shine. A prophetic word was spoken over me that CA would first be rejected in the US, but that other countries who receive it would make the US jealous. Watch what happens. We are poised for a revolution. We are going on a fishing expedition (for people) in heretofore unexplored territory where the devil has posted the stream. Christological Astronomy is the right bait for this stream, perfect for New-Agers, Hindus, and Muslims—and even some lukewarm Christians.

I am excited about training our facilitators and helping them realize the huge blessing it will be to do this. This training will include new webcasts and other special items, so don’t forget to go to our YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClX29EzP-87tNyD9a3XUgnA to see what we have already posted and to keep checking it for new posts. You will find everything there you need to know to enter into this exciting new ministry.

We are looking for seasoned, prophetically-gifted individuals who desire to be destiny coaches. If this is you, please contact us at www.lmci.org  and we will give you the specifics.
