2020 was a year few will chose to remember but none can forget as events became more challenged and surreal. The past is gone - the present fleeting - the future uncertain - with 'hope' forever its promise. Old administrations failed in many ways with new players coming into power that too will bring consequences in the digitized world we think is real as we apply emotions to visualizations - the grids unplugged.

In the November US presidential election Donald Trump lost to Joe Biden but refused to accept defeat in order to raise money from supporters and his narcissistic need to never lose anything.

Americans suffered at Christmas while Trump played golf and sowed chaos by pardoning corrupt loyalists and undermining prosecutors. Nothing better could be expected in a year that saw denial and delusion, led by Trump, presage a wave of illness and death coupled with evictions, bankruptcies, hunger and ruined livelihoods.

The biggest story of the year was a global pandemic COVID-19 killing hundreds of thousands of people and changing the face of reality - destroying people financially, emotionally and physically.




My daughter Tracy and her family in Arizona created a combination
Hanukkah-Christmas theme this year. It's all about love.

Happy Holidays !!

Covid or no Covid - Santa Claus Is Coming To Town



You better watch out
You better not cry

Better not pout
I'm telling you why

Santa Claus is coming to town

He's making a list
And checking it twice;

Gonna find out who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is coming to town

He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake

He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake!

Oh ... You better watch out!
You better not cry

You better not pout
I'm telling you why

Santa Claus is coming to town!


He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake

He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake!

Oh ... You better watch out!
You better not cry

You better not pout
I'm telling you why

Santa Claus is coming to town!

Great Conjunction of 2020

Jupiter and Saturn descend on world's tallest building in epic 'Great Conjunction' video


Christmas star: Jupiter and Saturn align in the night sky a first since 1226




History of the Magi - Star of Bethlehem

This is an Insert

As all roads (myths) lead back to Z (Zoroaster, Zarathustra) - The Magi were priests in Zoroastrianism and the earlier religions of the western Iranians. The earliest known use of the word magi is in the trilingual inscription written by Darius the Great, known as the Behistun Inscription. Old Persian texts, predating the Hellenistic period, refer to a magus as a Zurvanic, and presumably Zoroastrian, priest. Pervasive throughout the Eastern Mediterranean and Western Asia until late antiquity and beyond. Magi were the practitioners of magic, including astronomy, astrology, alchemy, and other forms of esoteric knowledge.




December 21, 2020 - Age of Aquarius


December 21, 2020 - Aquarius allegedly started at 1:22 PM EST.

Bye-bye Pisces. We've got bigger fish to fry ...


The Age of Aquarius and my generation - Hippies who smoked weed,
put down the establishment, and hung out. Some things never change.
Ellie at Woodstock barefoot and pregnant - no weed - never did drugs.


Behold the dawning of the Age of Aquarius

Precession of the Equinoxes


This coincides with the closure of the simulation and the Jupiter-Saturn Conjunction
today all of which go back to Z as Jupiter/Zeus etc.

Aquarius-Leo ~ Alpha-Omega ~ The Beginning and the End
It's been an interesting journey

I'm an Aquarian so it must be my time ... Sing it B.B. King.

The Day After The Winter Solstice


I bought you flowers and a present to brighten your day. Enjoy!


I love this weather so much I decided to go back to the pier not realizing how windy it would be. As we are in Aquarius - this Aquarian loves the feel of ocean, mixed with the sounds of the birds, the ferry coming in, and most of all the view of the city skyline.


Best close-up I could get of the Statue of Liberty. To the right and around the bend is the World Trade Center.

In days of Covid we find our friends where we can. Birds in the area are well fed by people who live here. There's this one guy who chirps like a bird every day as a call to feed them or he's just going crazy from quarantine. He really sounds like a bird but what do I know. I don't speak bird but I always appreciated the Language of the Birds (which goes to Quetzalcoatl or Thoth or Z) and Whistled Languages.
