On February 17th, country star Mindy McCready took her own life, about one month after her boy friend was found dead. She was born on 11/30/1975 making her a 3 of Hearts, the card of the performer.

Looking her current Yearly Chart on Plate 37 there are some obvious indicators it might not be a good year, along with other not so obvious placments that reveal the events that recently transpired.

Her Sun Return Card for the year (the card that returned to her original Life Plate Sun Card position) is the 6 of Spades. A Sun Return Card in the Yearly Chart is what surrounds us for the year. The 6 of Spades can indicate some adjustments or compromises that need to be made in order to have a sense of balance. It is also one of the traditional death cards, as well.

The Synastry Card is the one right behind our Sun Card and can define the theme of the chart. The 7 of Clubs is there and this can create a lot of anxiety, along with the sense of many challenges with one's plans. Letting go and seeking spiritual knowledge is a positive/healthy way to use the influence. Number 7 cards are usually associated with sacrifice in some way.

Since she is a 3 of Hearts born under the Sign of Sagittarius, her Planetary Sign Card (Natal Jupiter Card) is the 5 of Clubs. Her boyfriend was murdered during her 52 day Mercury Period and under her Planetary Sign Card she had the Jack of Diamonds Direct (signifying a man) and the 9 of Hearts Vertical, showing a loss of a person, or loved one.

Looking at her Yearly Chart under her Birth Card (3H) she had the King of Hearts in Saturn, this can indicate a warm loving man in her life, but under Saturn, there might be some difficulty with that person. If you notice the King of Hearts is displacing the Ace of Diamonds and in the box to the right is the 9 of Spades (one of the traditional death cards) is also displacing the Ace of Diamonds. This creates what is called in The Ancient Book of Time System a Mystic Reception. This connects these 2 cards by timing and the events/experiences created by them. In this case it can indicate a loss or completion (9S) with a warm loving man (KH). Another interesting configuration is the 9 of Spades (one of the traditional death cards) was also displacing the Ace of Hearts, a card that many times represents the self and she took her own life.

At the time of her death she was in her 52 day Venus Period and had the King of Clubs (most likely representing a man) with the 9 of Hearts Vertical (disappointment or loss of a loved one) which shows she was still deeply affected by the loss of her boy friend. In The Ancient Book of Time System, planetary motion and positions can trigger other cards within the chart as shown in the paragraph above.

Using the technique I discovered many years ago , the name Mindy McCready calculates out to the 7 of Hearts. Being the name she has been known by for quite some time, this vibration would have an important influence on her life. Being a Number 7, the Number of Neptune -- they can be prone to drug and alcohol problems and she was attending an outpatient program at the time of her death. This influence can also create many obstacles and challenges, along with sacrifices to be made in the area of relationships and that was evident, as well.

General Petraeus Resigns

The resignation of General David Petraeus

General David Petraeus resigned from his post as the Director of the CIA due to an extra marital affair on November 9, 2012.

General Petraeus was born on November 7, 1952 making him a King of Clubs. The King of Clubs is the highest Card in the Club Suit which rules information, communication and knowledge. Usually people who are this card are in positions of authority where decisions need to be made and tasks delegated.

In the Ancient Book of Time System the progressions through the 90 plates are based on the Orbits of Saturn, the Earth and the Moon, or seasons of those motions. A very interesting configuration unique to the Ancient Book of Time system occurs within the progression tables at the ages of 30, 60 and 90 – in the Yearly, 91 day Seasonal, 28 day Lunar and True 7 Day Weekly, they all line up on Plates 30, 60 and 90 respectively. (This does not happen in any other version of the Card System.)

In Chaldean Numerology, which I believe is part of the foundation of this system, the Numbers 3,6 and 9 are considered to be an important series of Numbers. The Numbers 30, 60 and 90 reduce to 3,6 and 9 – 3+0=3. 6+0=6 and 9+0=9.

General Petraeus turned 60 years old just 2 days before he resigned. This means that the Yearly, Seasonal, Lunar and Weekly Charts were all derived from Plate 60. In all 4 charts at the time he had the 9 of Spades as his Synastry Card. This is the Card directly behind the Sun/Birth Card and is the theme of the chart. The 9 of Spades would signify and ending, loss, or disappointment in dealing with one’s work, health and/or lifestyle. The 9 of Spades was displacing the 5 of Clubs/5 of Hearts position meaning change was in the air, especially in regards to plans and relationships.

He would be in his Mercury Period in all 4 of the Charts except the Weekly, in which it was his Mars Day. In Mercury on Plate 60 he had the Queen of Spades in that position, which can indicate a communication, or information about a woman. It was displacing the Ace of Spades, which is the Card of hidden secrets. The Vertical Mercury Card is the 9 of Diamonds indication an ending, or loss in dealing with finances. (The Ancient Book of Time System shifts columns when reading Vertical Cards, just as you do when reading the Direct Cards horizontally.)

This perfectly describes the events at the time as Petraeus resigned from his post as CIA Director due to an affair he had had with a women. With all the smaller Charts all derived from Plate 60 at the time, I am sure it was a significant change or shift in this lifetime for him.

In the larger 28 year Chart, he started a 4 year Venus Period at age 60 and has the 4 of Hearts there. In this case it most likely signifies a rebuilding (4) of his marriage (4H) and how he relates to women (Venus Period)

In his 7 Year Chart (The Seasonal Chart of Saturn) at age 60 he was in a Year long Saturn Period and had the 9 of Clubs in that position. Saturn usually has lessons to teach us and with the 9 of Clubs in that position his lessons would be with the ending or loss of plans, ideas, etc.

I am sure things will work out for the best, but I thought it interesting to show not only the clarity of the Cards in effect at the time, but also the importance of the evolutionary and unique alignments that occur during our lifetimes in The Ancient Book of Time System.
