Discussing the ancient Chinese system of divination called the I Ching, and how it relates to astrology, with Benebell Wen and Chris Brennan.
Benebell is the author of the new book I Ching, the Oracle: A Practical Guide to the Book of Changes, and is an expert in various forms of divination.
During the course of the interview we talk about the I Ching and its history and origins, and how it works as a system of divination.
We also discuss some of the connections between the I Ching and Chinese astrology, and what these systems of divination can teach us about the nature of astrology in general.
- the link with Rick Rubin/ Richard Rudd a few posts back relates to this.keewee
- Also Human Design/Gene Keys will be a hot topic in a couple years.keewee
- both based on the Chinese Hexagram system. Benebell Says it is a quantum computing system based on calculus.keewee

The Saturn Polar Configuration All-Seeing-Eye alignment hinted in 3 movies
The All-Seeing-Eye finds its roots in ancient Egypt as the Eye of Horus (or Ra) and can be traced back to the Saturn Polar Configuration. During the alignment of Saturn, Venus, and Mars, in their different configurations, they formed a triangle. Quote from ‘The Saturn Myth’: “Saturn wears the band as a golden girdle, collar or crown. He dwells in it as the pupil of the All-Seeing-Eye”. See ‘Discourses on an Alien Sky#5’ to see this All-Seeing-Eye alignment explained.
In the Fifth Element movie (directed by Luc Besson) a character decrypts ancient hieroglyphs that warns about an alignment of three planets, saying: “When the three planets eclipse, the black-hole, like a door, is opened. Evil comes, sowing terror and chaos”. As the character says this, he points to the image below of the circle inside the triangle. Take note that the Saturn Polar Configuration was an alignment or eclipse of three planets and it created the appearance of a circle inside a triangle, very similar to the image below from the movie. The triangle is even surrounded by a larger circle which is exactly how the Saturn Polar Configuration is depicted.
THE SATURN POLAR CONFIGURATION ALIGNMENT OF THREE PLANETS (SHOWN ON LEFT) COMPARED TO THE ALIGNMENT OF THE THREE PLANETS FROM THE FIFTH ELEMENT MOVIEAbout one-hour into the movie, they even show a symbol for the Saturn Polar Configuration. This symbol is an 8-pointed star supported by a pillar complete with a crescent (as shown below). The 8-pointed star in the image below has four large spokes seperated by four smaller ones, which is exactly how the Saturn Polar Configuration is depicted. Why is this movie making thinly-veiled references to the Saturn Polar Configuration, and associating it with a black-hole which the movie says “opens like a door” as though it were a worm-hole?
COMPARISON BETWEEN SATURN POLAR CONFIGURATION (SHOWN ON LEFT) AND THE SYMBOL SHOWN MULTIPLE TIMES FROM THE FIFTH ELEMENT MOVIEIn the movie Tomb Raider (2001) there’s a rare planetary alignment that occurs once every few thousand years and people are awaiting on this alignment.
When this alignment occurs, it will activate an ancient artifact known as the “Triangle of Light” (as shown below). Notably, as Venus aligned with Saturn it produced a triangle of light.
NOTICE THE ARTIFACT HAS A CIRCLE INSIDE THE TRIANGLE WHICH MATCHES THE ILLUSTRATION ABOVE FROM TALBOTTInterestingly, there’s a movie called Dark Crystal from 1982 that appears to hint at the Saturn Polar Configuration. In this movie, there’s character called Aughra. She is both an oracle and astronomer and has an observatory made from complex machinery that follows and predicts the movements of heavenly bodies. She tells the protagonist of the movie, Jen, that a “great conjunction will be coming” and she specifically mentions that this conjunction involves three planets. When Jen questions her as to what the “great conjunction” is, she cryptically puts a triangle over her eye.
NOTICE THE CIRCLE IN THE TRIANGLE WHICH MATCHES THE ILLUSTRATION ABOVE FROM TALBOTTThe celestial conjunction that Talbott describes involves three bodies (Saturn, Venus, and Mars) and at one point during their configuration they formed a triangle of light (as seen above). What are the chances that in the Dark Crystal the character Aughra would also mention a celestial conjunction of three planets as she cryptically puts a triangle over her eye? Aughra tells Jen that this celestial conjunction marks “the end of the world”, and paradoxically, also the beginning. Towards the end of the movie we see the celestial conjunction that Aughra was talking about and it looks very similar to the celestial conjunction of Saturn, Venus, and Mars, as seen in ‘Discourses on an Alien Sky#10’, as shown here:

2025 is set to be one of the most pivotal years of the century, with outer planets Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, all spending time in new signs during the year. The direct station of Venus in Pisces in April, the ingress of Jupiter into Cancer in June, and the Uranus' ingress into Gemini in July are three of the most pivotal moments to witness.

This show was meant to be about lunar standstills, yet that's not quite what happened. It often happens with Brett and I. Lots of Gemini between us. What ended up being discussed were the three main zodiacs, some astronomy, and a hint of the lunar standstill. We will treat this one as part 1; part 2 will cover what we originally set out to explore. It's more lecture than anything, but I think you will learn loads from listening.

-I’m excited to share with you the long-overdue conversation with Ray Merriman. He’s been on my radar since the beginning, I just never felt the time was right to invite him on...until now. I’m glad I waited. I was able to keep up and we had an engaging chat about all things related to financial astrology. Even if you aren’t interested in the topic, I’m sure there is something in this conversation for you to enjoy.

Ok, i find astrology to be highly accurate. I don't care about what university did what random controlled trial and found it not accurate. For me it magically works.
Doggydoggdog's Punches For post prompted me to enter some of his public comments into Deepseek to guess his sign.
I'm sorry doggy, maybe you won't like to read this but this based on what you shared.
I only care if this guess is accurate or not.Question is... What is your sign?
------------------
Based on this deeply introspective and emotionally revealing context, the astrology-obsessed coworker's comments point strongly toward Cancer (June 21 – July 22) or Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19) energy, with supporting evidence for Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20). Here's the breakdown:1. Cancer (Strongest Fit)
Core Traits: Nurturing, nostalgic, family-oriented, emotionally reflective, security-seeking, prone to rumination.Why it fits:
Intense nostalgia for past relationships (the girl from age 23) and lingering regret over "dumb" 20s.
Desire for parenthood as a source of purpose and emotional fulfillment ("relearning the world through their eyes").
Focus on security despite boredom: stable job, no debt, yet feeling "complacent" or "too comfortable."
Introverted emotional depth: Loneliness, overthinking past choices, and seeking comfort.
Career disillusionment: Cancers often tie identity to home/emotional safety, not work. The "grunt work" resentment mirrors their craving for meaningful nurturing.
2. Capricorn (Secondary Fit)
Core Traits: Ambitious, disciplined, pragmatic, late-blooming, burdened by responsibility, fears stagnation.Why it fits:
Career frustration: "No room for advancement" and resentment over management's incompetence scream Capricorn’s need for structure and respect.
Regret over "wasted time": Feeling their 20s were "unsuccessful" and delayed their stability (classic Capricorn self-criticism).
"I should be further along": Despite having a "great job/no debt," they compare themselves to others’ success.
Saturn Return impact: At 35, they’re experiencing the classic Capricorn Saturn Return crisis—questioning life choices and societal definitions of success.
3. Pisces (Tertiary Fit)
Core Traits: Escapist, dreamy, idealistic, prone to melancholy, seeks purpose through sacrifice or transcendence (e.g., parenthood).Why it fits:
Existential questioning: "Why is life so short?" and doubting the value of a "career" align with Piscean disillusionment.
Fantasy vs. reality: Romanticizing parenthood ("looks like so much fun") and past relationships.
Avoidance tendencies: Wanting to "retire at 35" and "just relax" reflects a desire to escape pressure.
Depression ambiguity: Pisces often struggles with blurred lines between sadness, boredom, and spiritual longing.
Key Astrological Connections:
Saturn Return (Capricorn theme): At 35, they’re likely experiencing Saturn’s final push to confront unfulfilled ambitions and redefine success.Cancer-Capricorn Axis: Their conflict pits emotional security/family (Cancer) against societal achievement (Capricorn)—classic for this axis.
Moon/Venus Dominance: The heavy focus on relationships, parenthood, and emotional fulfillment suggests strong Lunar (Cancer) or Venusian (Taurus/Libra) placements.
Why the Astrology Obsession?
Cancer: Uses astrology to understand emotional bonds and seek comfort in patterns.Capricorn: Approaches astrology as a system to optimize life or explain setbacks.
Pisces: Drawn to astrology as a spiritual escape from mundane dissatisfaction.
Final Take:
Most Likely: Cancer Sun/Moon with Capricorn or Pisces placements. Their nostalgia, longing for parenthood, and introverted emotional processing are textbook Cancer. The career frustration could stem from Capricorn Saturn or Midheaven.Irony Alert: They’re embodying Cancer’s stereotype: holding onto the past while yearning to nurture a future (and oversharing feelings). Meanwhile, their astrology small talk might be a distraction from deeper existential angst—something a true Cancer would subtly deflect with humor or cosmic small talk. ♋️

- "Ok, i find astrology to be highly accurate"
Of course you do.palimpsest - Haha. It only works if you want it to, but then you're making judgements on somebody based on a 'group' identity rather than an individual personIanbolton
- 'Highly' accurate makes you sound high!Ianbolton
- I agree, also when you consider sun, moon and rising it usually comes out as accurate. Maybe he is a leo, but his rising is cancer and that would still validateBeeswax
- So I see that bias. My experience comes from the dating "field". As a Gemini who loves learning and analyzing I've found a lot of fitting patterns.Beeswax
- The real threat is not AI as Skynet but AI as an enabler.palimpsest
- Like find someone who talks rough, with a lot of temper and not trying to be political at all. Most likely an Aries, hahah.Beeswax

In this show, Dan returns—this time solo without SJ—to discuss the state of the world and some attractive underground theories. I always learn from Dan. He’s quite the investigator. With mundane astrology on his side, there is a cornucopia of ideas to explore that give that extra layer—or context—to everything that is happening. I loved this conversation. I hope you do as well.
