Aquarius Sun, Virgo Moon: The Truth Seeker

Combine an Aquarius Sun’s radical inventiveness with a Virgo Moon’s instincts for clear thinking and forensic research and the result is a Sun/Moon pairing that will not only seek the truth but will actually find it. Astrologer Bil Tierney says this pairing is “not afraid to be exposed to knowledge and will not tolerate censorship.” (Source) To illustrate: using its registration date as its date of birth, the website Declassification-Engine.org (DCE) is an Aquarius Sun, Virgo Moon. (Chart) The site has some similarities to Julian Assange’s brainchild Wikileaks but with one big difference: the DCE traffics only in publicly available documents that have already been declassified. What makes the DCE unique is that its proprietors have developed radically advanced technologies (Aquarius) that can actually decipher (Virgo) the parts of declassified documents so often censored behind black bars. Exactly how they do this is beyond the technological understanding of this astrologer but Wired Magazine recently published a lengthy profile of the DCE so if you’re curious about its methods — and Aquarius/Virgo is always curious — then that’s a good place to start.

Astrologer Stella Hyde says Aquarians make for great data miners while Virgos make for great crime scene investigators. (Source) While the folks behind DCE are by no means political radicals, it sure seems their data mining (Aquarius) techniques could potentially be used to discern (Virgo) evidence of crimes committed in the name of national security but hidden behind those ubiquitous blacked out redactions.

Using its registration date as its date of birth, the website ShadowStats.com is also an Aquarius Sun, Virgo Moon. (Chart) According to a San Francisco Chronicle profile of the site, ShadowStats is “a one-man crusade to expose official economic data as grossly misleading at best and, at worst, a pack of lies.” (Source) One of the key research findings repeadtedly published on the site is just how cooked the government’s official unemployment numbers are. According to ShadowStats, the U.S. unemployment rate is generally 250-300% higher than what the government says it is. Many of us have suspected this to be the case but ShadowStats has utilized advanced technologies (Aquarius) and forensic research (Virgo) to actually prove it.

Aquarius/Virgo makes for a great analyst and loves to study curious phenomenon so here’s a very curious phenomenon that a number astrological analysts have come across in their studies: the character traits of an actor’s signature role(s) will usually match the characteristics of their Sun/Moon pairing, often to an uncanny degree. To illustrate: actor Marc Singer is a Aquarius Moon, Virgo Moon. (Chart) Singer is best known for portraying truth-seeking (Aquarius) journalist (Virgo) Michael Donovan in the ground breaking 1983 miniseries “V”. In particular he’s most remembered for a pair of scenes widely considered to be two of the most shocking moments in television history. In the first scene he climbs aboard the alien mother-ship and finds out that the Visitors are not the benevolent humanoids they’ve been passing themselves off as:

In a later scene he comes to find out that the real reasons the Visitors have traveled across the galaxy are not to seek our assistance but to steal the Earth’s water and abduct humans for use as food back on their home planet. According to astrologers Suzi and Charles Harvey, a metaphoric image for Aquarius/Virgo combination is “Aliens extract human genes to breed the human race on a planet of superior design.” (Source) That’s a spooky accurate approximation of the Visitors’ conspiracy to use humans as food back on their home planet uncovered by Singer’s truth seeking alter ego Mr. Donovan.

What’s really spooky about the original “V” is just how how similar the modus operandi of the Visitors was to the modus operandi of the Bush/Cheney regime. Just substitute “water from Planet Earth” with “oil from Iraq” or “laundered drug money from heroin soaked Afghanistan” and the plot of V offers an excellent approximation of the actual agendas behind the various wars initiated since 9/11. The mysterious epidemic of deaths among microbiologists during the Bush/Cheney years even parallels the disappearance of scientists depicted in V. The Bush/Cheney regime may not have planned to use humans as food but their friends on Wall Street have certainly been eating Americans out of house and home. What’s equally spooky is that the only journalist in the mainstream media principled enough to call Bush/Cheney out for the fascist reptilians that they are was Keith Olberman who, like Marc Singer, is also an Aquarius Sun, Virgo Moon.

Cancer Sun, Virgo Moon: The Sports Technology Specialist and the Self-Made Lab Savant

USA Today is reporting that the CIA has finally acknowledged that Area 51 actually exists. (Source) The establishment date for Area 51 is a bit hard to pin down but after doing a good deal of research my best guess is it was “open for business” on July 22nd, 1955. This makes it a Cancer Sun, Virgo Moon. (Chart) Cancer is the homebody of the zodiac who likes to stay fortified from the outside world while Virgo is the precision oriented analyst known for being obsessive about their work. According to astrologer Bill Tierney the textbook Cancer/Virgo is “keenly attentive to details” and excels at “keeping everything well-maintained”. (Source) Area 51 was originally established by the CIA as a fortified base (Cancer) to perform keenly detailed maintenance (Virgo) on its U-2 spy plane. At least that’s the official story. The unofficial story is that it’s where the government keeps space aliens housed (Cancer) for research purposes (Virgo):

We’ll probably never know for sure what goes on at Area 51 but these mission patches from projects or units associated with the base courtesy of geographer Trevor Paglen may offer some clues. The patch on the upper left comes from “The Ghost Squadron”, a unit who (supposedly) fix the actual “black helicopters” we’ve heard so much about. The latin on the patch translates as “A Secret Squadron . . . From Deep in the Night . . . Don’t Ask Any Questions.” The patch on the upper right comes “a test squadron for classified prototype aircraft and advanced concept technology demonstrators” according to Paglen. (Source) Nobody’s been able to figure what the bottom two patches pertain to exactly although there’s been wild speculation on the net that the “Green Door” one has something to do with rooms in which “trans-dimensional portals” are kept locked away. More likely it’s related to military intelligence:

Author Tim Ferriss is also Cancer/Virgo. (Chart) Ferriss has built up a huge cult following by performing medical experiments on himself as futuristic, freaky, and in some cases as frightening as anything that goes on at Area 51. Stem cell injections, blood letting, brain wave analysis, “polyphasic” sleep experiments, exotic smart drugs imported from European pharmacies, etc. are all in day’s work for Ferriss. A 2010 article in Wired Magazine referred to him as a “self-made lab rat”. (Source) Here, for instance, is a talk he gave at the 2011 South by Southwest Film Festival on what he calls “Hacking the Human Body”. Ferris recently showed off various brain-monitoring probe devices he likes to wear during a recent appearance on the The View television show:

As you can probably infer from Ferriss’ OCD tendencies, Cancer/Virgo can be a bit of a hypochondriac but also makes for a great doctor, health guru, or sports technology specialist. Linda Goodman writes of the Cancer/Virgo’s bedside manner:

This pairing can create a powerful healing vibration. These two, when they join their auras, hands, and hearts in any sort of mutural venture, possess the magic to cure many of the mental, emotional, and physical ills that plague all Earthlings. (Source)

Mr. Ferriss may be a bit of an oddball but he has made it his life’s work to produce very useful, well-researched information in regards to holistic weight loss, athletic performance, sexual enhancement and other matters of great interest to all Earthlings. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for the work of his fellow Cancer/Virgo Dr. Max Jacobson, the doctor who served as President Kennedy’s personal physician (drug dealer). (Chart) If Ferriss is the Dr. Jekyll side of the Cancer/Virgo equation then Dr. Jacobson represents the Mr. Hdye side. Jacobson had Kennedy so loaded up with amphetamines, painkillers, and steroids that the Secret Service, with tongue firmly in cheek, famously referred to him as “Dr. Feel Good”. Jacobson is the subject of a new book by Richard A. Lertzman and William J. Bines:

Ferris got his start in the nutraceuticals industry and does advocate low-dose anabolic steroids for certain medical conditions if used under the strict supervision of a physician. The original name of his best selling book The Four Hour Workweek was “Drug Dealing for Fun and Profit” — a tongue-in-cheek reference to the fact he made his first fortune promoting dietary supplements designed to enhance brain function not totally different than some pharmaceutical drugs. Ferriss is something of a controversial figure in the fitness world but at least he’s advocating holistic programs designed to nourish (Cancer) health (Virgo), not destroy it.

Scorpio Sun, Pisces Moon: The Cloak and the Chameleon, the Symbol and the Subterfuge, the Code Which Shall Not be Cracked and She Who Casts No Shadows

Scorpio is the sign of the Covert-Op and the Deep Cover Cop, the World Wide Vampire Slayer and the Witch Goddess in Chief, the Psychologist Emeritus and the Sorceress Semper Paratus. When a person or project has their Sun (identity) in this clandestinely inclined sign they will come to be identified with psychology, intensity, or deep level research. According to astrologer Judy Hall, Scorpios are naturals in “silent-but-deadly” professions such as experimental science or submarine surveillance. (Source) To illustrate: using its establishment date as its date of birth the Tonopah Test Range, aka “Area 52”, is a Scorpio Sun. (Chart) Area 52 is the younger, much more secretive sister of the infamous “Area 51” base. This Area 52 mission patch, obtained by way of geographer Trevor Paglen’s book Covert Operations and Classified Landscapes, suggests the base is home to occult projects, secret technologies, and silent-but-deadly aircraft that are to the year 2013 what submarines were to the year 1320:

Sitting 120 degrees from Scorpio is Pisces, the sign of Psychic and the Seer, the Mystic and the Mist, the Specter and the Spook. Pisces shares Scorpio’s attunement to the mysterious but whereas Scorpio seeks out the unspeakable, Pisces seeks out the unfathomable. Scorpio digs deep, Pisces dissolves boundaries. Scorpio susses out the taboo, Pisces puts the taboo in a trance. Judy Hall says Pisceans do best in professions that involve intuition, illusion, or imagery as well as any endeavor which requires connection to the ocean, be it the actual ocean or the oceanic realms of the unconscious. (Source) When a person’s Moon (emotional needs) is in this elusive sign they need to be involved in matters hypnotic, intuitive, illusory, or mystical in order to feel emotionally nourished. For instance, physicist Russel Targ is a Pisces Moon. (Chart) Targ has published more than a 100 papers on plasma physics, laser applications, and electro-optics but is best known for co-founding the Stanford Research Institute’s remote viewing program. Under Targ’s leadership, the SRI spent 23 years and $25 million investigating psychic spying methods for the CIA and other U.S. spy agencies. (Source)

Combine the secretive nature of a Scorpio Sun with a Pisces Moon’s affinity for the hypnotic realms of the unconscious and you get a Sun/Moon pairing that is imaginative, mysterious, and deeply in tune with all that is hidden. This pairing is quite capable of communicating information without speaking or speaking without communicating information, both of which are survival skills when you lead a life filled with subterfuge as Scorpio/Pisces often does. For instance, Claus Von Stauffenberg — the German military officer who was executed for attempting to assassinate Adolf Hitler — is a Scorpio/Pisces whose life was filled with more subterfuge than a Tom Clancy novel. (Chart) If you’re not familiar with Von Stauffenberg’s story he was portrayed by Tom Cruise in the 2011 film Valkryie.

Jefferson Anderson calls Scorpio/Pisces the Sun/Moon pairing of “The Sponge” whose ability to absorb energy from the environment “allows it take on the color of its surroundings like a chameleon”. (Source) To illustrate: using its launch date as its date of birth the U.S. government’s “Advanced Technology Observatory Platform” (ATOP) project is a Scorpio Sun, Pisces Moon. (Chart) Almost nothing has ever been officially disclosed about the ATOP project but between its astrological chart and clues found in its mission patch we can make some educated guesses as to its capabilities. For starters we know that since we’re dealing with a Scorpio/Pisces entity what’s not shown in the patch is more important than what is shown. Additionally, astrologer Stella Hyde says Scorpio makes for a great secret agent while Pisces makes for a great escape artist. (Source) We can thus deduce that the ATOP project might have involved some sort of technology which would allow a secret agent (Scorpio) to make his or her escape (Pisces):

According to Linda Goodman the Scorpio/Pisces combination of signs is associated with deeply subtle, very covert forms of movement. When paired together they take on “an other-worldly ability to navigate the invisible realms that connect people on psychic levels” she writes in her book Love Signs. (Source) It’s unlikely that ATOP has anything to do with the invisible realms of the psychic world, at least not on the literal level. It may, however, have something to do with technology that absorbs light from the surrounding environment in order to produce optical invisibility, not unlike what a chameleon does. In other words, a cloaking device. At least that’s what some informed observers such as Mark Pilkington, author of Mirage Men: An Adventure into Paranoia, Espionage, Psychological Warfare, and UFOs seem to think it might be. As Pilkington explains in his 2010 article on the mystery of ATOP patch, “today’s radar-evading drones are carefully optimised to blend in with the sky and to avoid casting shadows.” (Source)

Marie Curie is another Scorpio Sun, Pisces Moon known for handling dangerous material. (Chart) She won a Nobel prize for her pioneering work with radiation, also an “entity” which also casts no shadows. Something similar can be said for the infamous “Men in Black” (MIB), the ominously dressed government agents thought to show up at people’s door to intimidate them into silence should they learn too much about extraterrestrials. The concept of the “MIB” was popularized by the comedic film franchise starring Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith but they’ve been rumored to exist in real life since the 1956 publication of the book They Knew Too Much. Nobody knows for sure what the truth is about the real MIBs but many UFO aficionados seem to think they originated with the U.S. Air Force’s Air Intelligence Service Squadron (AISS), a classified unit established shortly after World War II. According to a recent article in Air & Space magazine:

Perhaps the most famous AISS unit (relatively speaking, for a secret organization) was the 4602nd. With 19 detachments spread across the United States, the 4602nd was, like other AISS units, officially responsible for “rapid exploitation and field analysis of downed enemy aircraft and uniformed personnel.” But the unit was soon tapped to investigate reports of unidentified flying objects in conjunction with Project Blue Book, the Air Force’s UFO inquiry. Some buffs insist that the legendary “Men in Black” figures who supposedly harassed UFO witnesses were from the 4602nd. (Source)

Using its establishment date as its date of birth, the AISS is a Scorpio/Pisces organization. (Chart) Even if reports of UFOs and “Men in Black” are the product of imagination or fiction, the AISS still fits the profile of a Scorpio/Pisces organization as they are tasked with top secret missions (Scorpio) to capture crashed enemy airmen — individuals who can be thought of as the modern day equivalent of escaped ghosts (Pisces Moon).

According to astrologer Grant Lewi, this pairing “can see right through people, maybe better then they can see themselves”. (Source) The ability to see through people while remaining (nearly) invisible endows this pairing with the capacity to see things hidden out of sight and hide things that are seen in plain sight. To illustrate, sculptor Jim Sanborn is a Scorpio/Pisces. (Chart) He’s best known for creating the encrypted Kryptos sculpture at CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia. In true Scorpio/Pisces fashion, Sanborn placed four coded messages within the Kryptos sculpture, each of which is a mystery hidden in plain sight. (Source).

krptos

It took 8 years for one of the CIA’s cryptanalysts to decipher three of the messages, one of which happens to nicely sum up the Scorpio/Pisces approach to life, “Between subtle shading and the absence of light lies the nuance of iqlusion”. If you’re wondering what the word “iqlusion” means, it turns out Sanborn included misspellings in the messages to add an extra layer of subterfuge to the Kryptos mystery. (Source) Scorpio/Pisces can be sneaky like that.

Twenty years after the first three Kryptos messages were deciphered, the fourth remains a mystery.

Kryptos may be Sanborn’s most famous sculpture but some of his others, such as the Cyrillic Projector located at the University of North Carolina, are just as riveting:

Astrologers Suzi and Charles Harvey say one of the Scorpio/Piscean’s greatest strengths is the ability to “capture the imagination” while “evoking a mysterious atmosphere”. (Source) Sanborn’s Kryptos statue has captured the imagination of a generation of cryptanalysts, both amateur and professional, while his other statues have made his name more or less synonymous with the “ability to evoke a mysterious atmosphere”. Here, for instance, is a Sanborn sculpture outside M.D. Anderson’s library at the University of Houston courtesy of Flickr member “MeltedPlastic” that is both captivating and mysterious:

UH Library Sculpture

Many of Sanborn’s sculptures make use of what a Rhizome.com article calls “eerie luminescence”. (Source) While few Scorpio/Pisceans will necessarily become sculptors like Sanborn, many will be attracted to lagoons, full moons, and other haunting landscapes which are both eerie and luminescent.

Hilary Clinton is probably the world’s most (in)famous Scorpio/Pisces. While Sanborn is known for placing hidden messages inside the Kryptos statue he was hired to build at CIA headquarters, Clinton is now (in)famous for hiding email messages in a private server she had built, possibly to elude the prying eyes of three letter agencies like the CIA.

Like his fellow Scorpio/Pisces Marie Curie, Sanborn is fascinated by invisible forces of nature such as radiation. In a sculpture entitled Critical Assembly, Sanborn included a disassembled sphere that had been designed to hold the nuclear payload of plutonium and uranium — glowing substances which Marie Curie actually carried around in necklaces she fashioned, a habit which ultimately led to her death.

Sanborn probably hasn’t ever made a habit of carrying radioactive materials around in necklaces like Marie Curie but for his sculpture Terrestrial Physics, he did recreate a fully functional particle accelerator. When working on the sculpture he managed to achieve nuclear fission, albeit at a low level. (Source) He also seems to have exposed himself to naturally radioactive uranium ores for his Uranium Autoradiograph Series. (Source) Few Scorpio/Pisces will go so far as to handle materials that are literally radioactive the way Curie and Sanborn have but many will end up working with issues that are psychologically, socially, or artistically radioactive.

This pairing’s affinity with the death, danger, and the dark undercurrents of the occult means it’s also going to lean towards the paranoid side. For instance, in an interview he gave with the Washington Post Sanborn described the extremely secluded nature of his art studio, “I needed 15 acres, minimum, to insulate myself . . . I have video cameras, threatening signs, whatever it takes.” (Source) That Sanborn would go to such extremes to protect his privacy makes perfect sense. Of the 144 Sun/Moon pairings, Scorpio/Pisces might be the one most likely to subscribe to the philosophy of “It’s not paranoia when they really are watching you” — a philosophy that recent events have proven is no ghost story.

Pisces Sun, Scorpio Moon: The Blackbird

Symbolized as two fish swimming amid the depths of the ocean, Pisces is the sign of the Psychic and the Seer, the Mystic and the Mist, the Specter and the Spook. People with their Sun (identity) in this sensitive sign are often identified with their ability to move in and out of unseen realms as naturally as a fish moves in and out of ocean currents. Pisces’ orientation to the non-material means it’s also the sign most likely to simply disappear from the radar of general society, whether for tragic reasons or more strategic ones. Astrologer Linda Goodman warns her readers that once a Pisces disappears, “Don’t try to use your binoculars to spot them. Binoculars don’t work in the Deep”. (Source)

Even Pisceans of neither the human or aquatic persuasions will possess the ability to disappear into “the Deep”. To illustrate: using its deployment date as its date of birth, the CIA’s most secretive reconnaissance satellite — a multibillion-dollar device codenamed “Misty” — is a Pisces Sun. (Chart)Instead of reflecting light as other satellites do, Misty is equipped with technology that allows her to simply vanish into the blackened depths of outer space. In other words, binoculars don’t work on a Pisces like Misty, just as Linda Goodman warns. The closest anybody has come to photographing this elusive bird is satellite tracker Marco Langbroek who says the glint in this image is the decoy satellite (“USA 144”) the CIA launched to throw people off the (non-material?) tracks of Misty’s twin sister “Misty #2”:

What’s even more Piscean (spooky) than Misty’s disappearing act is that she’s programmed to avoid detection by anybody who develops the ability to spot her. (Source)

Sitting 120 degrees away from Pisces is Scorpio, the sign of the Shaman and the Spy, the Sorceress and the Spell-Caster, the Investigative Detective and the Investment Banker, the Covert-Op and the Deep Cover Cop. It’s symbolized by three animals – the scorpion, the snake, and the eagle – each a deadly predator capable of surviving in the most hostile of environments. People with their Moon (emotional needs) in this passionate sign are actually nourished by intense situations that would have less resolute souls running into the night.

Astrologer Raven Kaldera associates the Scorpio Moon with the myth of Hecate, the mysterious witch goddess who “passes back and forth between the depths and the night fields like a creature of caves who only comes out after dark”. (Source) To illustrate: using its release date as its date of birth the 1981 cult film Escape from New York starring Kurt Russel is a Scorpio Moon. (Chart) The film is a fictional work but its intensely subterranean atmosphere is an accurate projection of a Scorpio Moon in his or her natural habitat. Like Hecate herself, Russel’s character “Snake” is considered a criminal, is very much a creature of the night, and is widely assumed to be dead. He doesn’t fly around on a silent broomstick like the witches associated with Hecate but he does arrive in the underworld by way of a silent glider, which can be thought of as the modern day equivalent of a witch’s broom. In true Scorpio Moon fashion he even sports a tattoo of a cobra on his stomach:

Pisces and Scorpio have a good deal in common. Both signs are naturals when it comes to camouflage and cloaking, madness and mysteries, the haunted and the hidden. There are, however, some key distinctions between the two that should be highlighted. Pisces, the most paranoid of signs, automatically assumes the sexy looking person friending them on Facebook must be an FBI agent. Scorpio, the most secretive of signs, is the sexy looking person friending Pisces on Facebook. Superstitious Pisces calls upon their spirit guides before making any big decisions. Super-suspicious Scorpio runs background checks on the Piscean’s alleged “spirit guides”. Pisces spends time in deep reverie, Scorpio in deep research. Pisces sees dead people, Scorpio handles dead people’s financial affairs. Pisces can spend days wondering the latent nightscapes of its dreams Scorpio can spend a lifetime rooting through the catacombs of its psyche. Pisces pours over the quatrains of Nostradaums, Scorpio internalizes the works of Machiavelli.

Pisces/Scorpio is attracted to the occult (Photo: Astrology, A New & Complete Illustration of Occult Sciences by Ebenezer Sibly)

Pair the cabalistic leanings of a Pisces Sun with the clandestine instincts of a Scorpio Moon and the result is a Sun/Moon pairing that — if it isn’t already obvious — will be drawn to death, danger, and the dark undercurrents of the occult. Some of these undercurrents will be located in waters that are literally of the occult, others will be found in the equally fascinating realms of high finance, deep politics, covert operations, or psychological research. To illustrate: using its release date as its date of birth the 2013 movie Phantom is a Pisces Sun, Scorpio Moon. (Chart) The film stars David Duchovny as a former KGB agent on a submarine mission cloaked in mystery. The film’s tag line “You’ll never see it coming” is an excellent approximation of the Pisces/Scorpio approach to life:

Pisces Sun, Scorpio Moon is the pairing of the Phantom
Pisces Sun, Scorpio Moon is the pairing of the Phantom

Bil Tierney says this pairing is able to “intuit, almost psychically, things going on inside others that seem anything but obvious to the outside world”. (Source) Possessing such finely honed senses is a survival skill when you swim not with the fishes but with the barracudas as this pairing does.

Just like a submarine on a mission cloaked in mystery, human Pisces/Scorpios always keep their real plans concealed.

According to Jefferson Anderson, “this combination can produce spiritual and artistic individuals, or it can result in criminally inclined personalities”. (Source) According to Stella Hyde, dark-side Pisceans make for great pirates and fraudsters while dark side Scorpios make for great drug barons and masterminds. (Source) Mitt Romney is a Pisces/Scorpio who earned hundreds of millions of dollars while working as a financial pirate-baron at Bain Capital. (Chart) His primary role there seems to have been masterminding the destruction of companies by loading them up with labyrinthine forms of debt obligations as toxic as any form of street drug. Even Howard Stern of all people has described Romney as having a criminally inclined personality, “I’m not sure Romney shouldn’t be in jail . . . he was such a monster . . . to me he’s a demon” Stern explained on his show after learning about the necromantic tactics Romney utilized while heading up the night crawlers at Bain:

According to Grant Lewi, many Pisces/Scorpios have a “morbid interest in death and the fate of the dead”. (Source) If you’re wondering what’s behind that look in Romney’s eyes it could be that, according to a 2012 Huffington Post article, he started Bain with money from families tied to South American death squads.

If Mitt Romney is an extreme example of this pairing’s potential for corruption then novelist John Steinbeck is an example of its potential for compassion. (Chart) Best known for writing The Grapes of Wrath, Steinbeck documented the despair experienced by people on the receiving end of the financial black magic spells cast by Romney’s Great Depression era predecessors. Poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow is a Pisces/Scorpio who once said “Know how sublime a thing it is to suffer and be strong”, an approach to life John Steinbeck was quite familiar with. (Chart)

According to astrologer Jacqueline Bigar, the emotional ecosystem of the Pisces/Scorpio individual can be likened to a “case of rushing white water with tumultuous depths”. (Source) In a best case scenario the tumultuous depths of this pairing serve as a source of tremendous emotional depth. In a less favorable scenario these depths conceal serpentine creatures that are best left undisturbed and unprovoked. To illustrate: if you’ve read through this site’s archives you know that I often analyze the natal charts of dark side entities ranging from American International Group and the Federal Reserve to the CIA and the NSA. There is only one company from the so-called “black world” whose work so seriously spooks me that I feel it’s best to refrain from posting their chart or disclosing their name other than to say that using its date of incorporation as its date of birth this company is a Pisces Sun, Scorpio Moon. In true Pisces/Scorpio fashion, the nature of what this company does is so haunting that even seasoned members of the intelligence community are reported to keep a safe distance from its dominion.

According to astrologers Suzi and Charles Harvey, the Pisces/Scorpio pairing “can see right through anyone” but will often compensate for its tremendous interest in the mysterious by swinging “into very heady areas, such as math and computing”. (Source) Along these lines, the “company with no name” utilizes extremely advanced forms of math and computing to develop technologies that can see right through people in a manner akin to what a witch, warlock, exorcist, or voodoo doctor can do. Linda Goodman says the Pisces/Scorpio combination of signs is capable of telepathic communication across “the third and fourth dimensional levels of life and death” which, for all intents and purposes, is what this company specializes in. (Source) It’s my suspicion that at least some of the occult technologies depicted in the reality based spy thriller series The Activity are developed by this company although that is only conjecture on my point:

activity

(Editor’s note: if you’re curious about the acroamatic origins of The Activity you’ll want to check out the following article: Sagittarius Sun, Scorpio Moon: “The Widow Maker”)

On the upside, Pisces/Scorpio’s adeptness with the shadow world endows it with tremendous perception, intuition, and an instinctive feel for pathos. Bil Tierney says this pairing has “an otherworldy ability to navigate the invisible seas that connect people on almost psychic levels”. (Source) It thus makes for a fantastic psychologist, particularly one who uses alternative methods to pull people back from the most nightmarish of emotional abysses. Even the “company with no name” has a division tasked with retrieving ghosts from hell-like realms, at least in a manner of speaking.

If Pisces/Scorpio has an animal totem it’s the blackbird, a mysterious creature that Druid mythology associates with the magic of unseen worlds according to medium Matthew James:

The blackbirds iridescent black plumage holds the energies of mysticism and magic. Their singing puts the listener into a sleep or a trance which enables him or her to travel to the otherworld. It was said to impart mystic secrets. Those with this medicine often have a hypnotic influence on others as well as an uncanny ability to move between the seen and unseen worlds with clarity. They make excellent shamans and trance channellers. Blackbirds are timid and prefer their own company over the company of others. In humans shyness and insecurity in group settings is common. Vulnerable to outside influences those with this totem need to remember to clear accumulated influences from their energy field on a regular basis. (Source)

Pisces/Scorpios can also be hypnotic, magnetic, and incredibly sexy but don’t be misled, their otherworldly appeal often camouflages pain as deep as the ocean itself. Elizabeth Taylor, arguably the most hypnotically beautiful star of the last 100 years, is a Pisces/Scorpio whose turmoil filled personal life is well documented enough that we need not rehash it here. (Chart)

Pisces/Scorpio is attracted to the taboo, a tendency that often gets it into trouble, but this means there is also the potential to express heartfelt sympathy for people considered off-limits or subhuman by the rest of society. Taylor, for instance, raised a tremendous amount of money for HIV and AIDS-related projects at a time when Congress was giving serious consideration to quarantining those with the disease. (No joke) These days being seen on the HIV charity circuit is quite fashionable among the Hollywood crowd but back in the early 1980s celebrities were terrified to be associated with the disease. Given the context of that era, Taylor’s efforts took enormous emotional courage. At its best, Pisces/Scorpio can be a sinner or saint. During her heyday many in society viewed Taylor as a sinner for having married six men seven times. However it’s difficult not to see her as far more saintly than sinful given the compassion she exhibited to those in such dire need.

Virgo Sun, Libra Moon: The Reconnoiter

Combine the analytical capabilities of a Virgo Sun with the relational instincts of a Libra Moon and the result is a Sun/Moon pairing that’s discerning, perceptive, and extremely aware of what others are up to. To illustrate: using its establishment date as its date of birth, the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) is a Virgo/Libra. (Chart) In short their job is to use satellite based forms discernment and perception to figure out what those of us back down here on earth are up to. If this is your first time hearing of the NRO then check out these NRO mission patches courtesy of geographer Trevor Paglen’s book I Could Tell You But Then You Would Have to be Destroyed by Me: Emblems from the Pentagon’s Black World, a concise but very thought provoking compendium of occult symbols used within the world of classified military projects:

According to astrologers Suzi and Charles Harvey the Virgo/Libra pairing has “great powers of observation . . . but finds the whole sphere of relating to warm blooded humans a bit messy.” (Source) In each of the NRO patches, for instance, it’s hard to imagine the cold blooded snakes or scaly dragons doing much normal relating to warm blooded humans. From their vantage points high up above the earth they will, however, be able to make wonderfully accurate observations.

Virgo/Libras are typically very courteous to others. For instance, the satellites symbolized in the above NRO patches are courteous enough not to intrude upon the day-to-day activities of earthlings even as they catalog our every move with total precision. The same goes for the “entity” symbolized by a pair of glowing red eyes in this patch from a joint USAF/NRO mission:

Linda Goodman tells her readers that the Virgo/Libra sign combination has an excellent chance to “live long past the 100 year mark”. (Source) This is true even when the Virgo/Libra in question is not an actual human being but an intelligence agency which manages spy satellites. According to Paglen, the satellites launched into geosynchronous orbit by the NRO “are destined to become the longest-lasting artifacts of human civilization, quietly floating through space long after every trace of humanity has disappeared from the planet”.

Some individuals of more conspiratorial persuasions have speculated that it’s the NRO who monitors UFOs as they enter and leave Earth’s atmosphere. (Source) If true that’s an awful strange coincidence because based on its premier date Fox’s bizarre yet strangely entertaining 1995 Alien Autopsy special is also a Virgo Sun, Libra Moon. (Chart) According to the Harveys, the Virgo/Libra combination is sometimes a bit of snob who “can forget simply how to be human”. (Source) Yeah, I’d say so:

Virgo/Libra excels at accurate analysis (Virgo) of “the other” (Libra), whether that “other” is an international rival from across the globe, a romantic partner from across the dinner table, a space alien from across the galaxy, or even a high ranking politician across the lectern or pulpit. Reverend Jeremiah Wright, for instance, is a Virgo Sun, Libra Moon. (Chart) His analysis of Bill Clinton’s time in office (“he did us just like he did Monica Lewinsky, he was ridin’ dirty”) is as dead on accurate as the high resolution surveillance photos the NRO might be taking of you at this very moment.
