oh wow! You referrenced Union soldier Ingersoll Lockwood! If it's the same Ingersoll Lockwood, he later wrote the 3 book series which includes: "The Last President" , and "Baron Trump's Magnificent Adventures", the great illustrations shows a young boy who looks exactly like unusual face shaped Barron Trump alive today. The books from late 1800s are shocking peeps today with their prophetic references...Sparking questions about Donald Trump learning the secrets of time travel from his super genius favorite Uncle John Trump, Head Of Science or Mathematics Department of M.I.T., Boston, Mass. And he also was Nikola Tesla's friend and partner, helping him to built a hotel in N.Y.C., i think called The New Yorker? They built a power station below ground, and supposedly his time travel device was down there too. The power station said to power the hotel and the entire city block. When Tesla died, it was only John Trump was was allowed the task to go thru Tesla's papers. He was tasked by the government to examine if Nikola Tesla had some secret war technology...and only John Trump could understand and be trusted with his papers....He said he didn't find that...and the government swooped in and confiscated the documents. I guess i need to continue reading on to see if Adam knows about the books? The threads that run thru historical events to today is amazing! thnx!
I think you need to read it again. You wouldn't be asking that first question if you actually read it. And the John Trump/Tesla theories are fun ones =)
in the 2nd from last sentence, i cover that i only started to read it ...read again, ha (insert smiley faced emoji here) not expecting, Gemini -moving fast!
I was trying to find your fool's jokes inside of this one, however I wonder if this transit has you moving away from the annual folly? All prayers up for peace.
oh no, it was in there, it was just nuanced this year. I was mainly playing on people's obsession on both the Civil War connection to the ingress and the Baron Trump novels. If you know even a little more than nothing about either of those subjects, you will know that Ingersoll was indeed not at Fort Sumter for the attack. His obsession with the spirit world and the reason for writing those books weren't motivated by that. Honestly, it wasn't my favorite April Fools. I almost rewrote it, but I was running out of time haha
I really know nothing about those subjects, I am glad at least a little prankery was woven in there! Yours is the only one I look forward to - I wonder what next year might bring…
well, i got past my excitement of 1st paragraph, and calmed my Fire zeal enough to finish your very interesting article. The supernatural more seen. i jumped out of my boots when i saw your illustration. I was born on April 11, and the first Sunday of June 2015, i boarded Lincoln's Funeral Train, the exact train, including car w/the large painted name "Leviathan", 150 years to the day this train carried Republican President Abraham Lincoln's body for burial from Washington D.C., to Springfield, Illinois. This refurbished with private donations historic train passing through Lake County Ohio, and one week later Donald John Trump came down the escalator of Trump Tower and announced his Republican candidacy for president of the U.S.A., on or within a couple of days from his birthday June 14. I was Trump train since Day One, and kept the photo of me boarding this train that day since, as my Facebook Cover Photo....a reminder of where i sit on the timeline of history, 150 years. thanQ Adam.
i responded strong in your other Neptune/Aries post, defending Aries. i have many Pisces relatives, and some Aries. An example is my 4 years older Pisces brother, who might kick me under the family dinner table, without it showing in any way above the surface, and little me making some noise about him doing it, me the one considered causing some trouble.
No but my parents retired there over 10 years ago so I've been getting to know the town over that period of time. I really love Wrightsville Beach and the food of North Carolina. UNCW is cool too with all the stuff going on there.
Nice one, Adam! I knew a bit about the Baron Trump books—after all, what self-respecting ‘Net connoisseur doesn’t?—but the connection to the Civil War was all new to me.
Speaking of using our imaginations, I sometimes do fear that too many Americans haven’t used their imaginations enough to truly understand the tragedy and pointlessness of war. Even though WW2 was a whole Uranus cycle ago (can we say “one Uranus year” ago?), here in Japan the bitter and severe reality of war hasn’t been completely forgotten. As a result, all of the propaganda about the nobility and bravery of war that the American collective mindset swims in mostly doesn’t exist here.
Anyway, one of my concerns with Neptune’s ingress into Aries is that enough people have bought into an identity-defining-yet-nonsensical narrative during Neptune’s run through Pisces that they will then take their “knowing” zealotry and fight for it as Neptune (and Saturn) move into Aries.
I believe I was gifted an antidote to that scary certainty in March 2020 when I had a strong intuition to really surrender to an “I don’t know” mindset. That has been challenging but ultimately liberating, though it comes with a sense of sorrow and tragedy because conditions certainly do feel primed for large groups of people to go to war over the BS they have come to believe. I pray not.

I started to read a pretty good biography about Victoria Woodhull. It was an interesting time in history for sure.
Definitely. And can we spot the Neptune in Aries themes from then till now? Gotta study history to know =)
I really know nothing about those subjects, I am glad at least a little prankery was woven in there! Yours is the only one I look forward to - I wonder what next year might bring…
I'm happy that you enjoy them. I'll admit, this wasn't my best, but at least it was a historical puzzle =)
Me too Heather! I was looking for it. Maybe the prank is the non-prank?

there ya go, correcting a little Mercury Rx moment: fire and water zeal. Interesting tale around the 150 there. Historic.

This is SO good! Thank you!
You went to college in Wilmington? I had no idea.
for 3 years. You too?
