One of the nearly forgotten chapters of the September 11 attacks is the anthrax letters. The US Department of Justice’s official summary is worth a read. “In the fall of 2001, the anthrax letter attacks killed five people and sickened 17 others.”

Of course, it was much more.

There were at least five letters mailed. Some had contents with messages like this, in folded-up paper that encased white powder with anthrax:

The first outbreak of Anthrax happened at a newsroom in Florida, a week after September 11. By October 12, four more letters had been received by mailrooms. Three were addressed to the following people: Tom Brokaw, Senator Tom Daschle, and Senator Patrick Leahy. A fourth was addressed simply to The New York Post.

Two of the envelopes recovered had innocuous fictitious return addresses:

The report explains the discrepancies of the return addresses; not only was the name of the school incorrect, but also the”08852″ zip code:

This seems quite buffoonish and inept, but considering the anthrax was found to be lab-quality and supposedly impossible to steal, it’s my guess that the little mistakes in the address were there to tell us something.

About 13 years ago, my friend John Ballantrae had an idea: maybe the zip code was a cryptic date – August 8, 1952 – and the date was all about the Directorate of Operations at the CIA, who do the serious skulduggery, such as false-flag terrorism, which many of us thought 9/11 was. John was hardly alone in thinking the letters were part of some cloak-and-dagger operation:

Barbara Hatch Rosenberg, a molecular biologist at the State University of New York at Purchase and chairwoman of a biological weapons panel at the Federation of American Scientists, and others began claiming that the attack might be the work of a “rogue CIA agent” in October 2001, as soon as it became known that the Ames strain of anthrax had been used in the attacks, and she told the FBI the name of the “most likely” person. On November 21, 2001, she made similar statements to the Biological and Toxic Weapons convention in Geneva. In December 2001, she published “A Compilation of Evidence and Comments on the Source of the Mailed Anthrax” via the web site of the Federation of American Scientists (FAS), claiming that the attacks were “perpetrated with the unwitting assistance of a sophisticated government program”.

John contended that the clandestine operations office within the CIA began on that date, though the CIA tells us that it actually began on August 1 of 1952.

It’s an interesting twist, surely, and worthy of some astrological dissection. What was going on in the heavens on 8/8/1952? I see 8/8 as a pentagram date, meaning that 8/8 is 3/5 of the way through a calendar year. Pentagon, anyone?

Going to my trusted Solar Fire, I noticed that that date had an exact opposition of Mars and Jupiter, and so I tweaked the charting around until I realized the opposition perfected on the horizontal axis:

Throwing up my usual array of fixed stars, I noticed that Regulus is on the MC and conjunct Venus, while the star Zubeneschamali [marked as ZES @ 18°42′ Scorpio] is conjunct Mars on the ascendant:

That strange star name comes from the Arab word for “southern claw.” Before Libra was the Scales, it was not its own constellation, but instead part of The Scorpion – the claws part:

The alpha star of Libra, Zubenelgenubi, is the marker for the exaltation of Saturn. It is very close to the ecliptic, as are Asellus Australis and the more famous Regulus.

So, where might this fit in the 9/11 saga? What does Israel have to do with the World Trade Center? Why would Allah be unhappy about the World Trade Center?

As it happens, date of 8/8/52 has a USA/Israel connection, with the passing of something called the Agreement on Industrial Investment Guarantee Program:

Loan guarantees were a major part of securing investments in Israel, which was notably unstable and under duress in the early days. Loan guarantees meant that any investments that went under would be guaranteed to the investor. For instance, if someone loans Israel a million bucks to build an office building, but the project goes bankrupt for any reason, the investor would get his money back. It was a way to just negate any risk, and the US government would pick up the tab.

It’s easy to see how something like that could be abused, and it often was. After the first Gulf War, the Bush Administration tried to get away from those scandal-plagued giveaways to Israel, and a whole kerfuffle took place that brought a new wave of pro-Israel lobbying to DC.

But, what does that have to do with the WTC? The answer is obvious: world trade. Debts are securitized and traded in financial centers like Lower Manhattan. So, where to start? The beginning:

The stars are definitely aligning!

• Moon = Moon @ the exaltation of Venus!
• Nodes square Nodes! Mars = Neptune!
• Neptune square Jupiter! And so on.

Astrologers should notice that we are now, right now, at the second Saturn return of the beginning of construction of the World Trade Center, as Saturn was in the last degree of Pisces. Astrologers should also note that 1952 was the year of a Saturn/Neptune conjunction @ fixed star Spica that factors into the early Israeli/WZO Status Law.

Followers of my other blog will surely recall that August 5 is famous in New York City for another monumental event – the cornerstone-laying of the Statue of Liberty. The date was chosen because the fixed star Sirius had its heliacal rising on that date in 1884.

All of that aside, maybe the major astro-thing to take away from the 1952 chart concerns the North Node on Mars’ exaltation, which we can easily see (at the bottom) when we convert to the Fagan zodiac:

Finally, when we compare the 8852 chart to the big moment, well, it’s like a kaleidoscope:

• Flight 11 Sun is aspecting the Mars/Jupiter opposition;
• Flight 11 Venus makes a T-square with the Mars/Jupiter opposition;
• Moons are square;
• Flight 11 Uranus is conjunct 8852 North Node @ Mars’ exaltation;
• Flight 11 MC is conjunct 8852 Uranus;
• The notorious trine from Mercury/ASC to Saturn for Flight 11 is bisected by 8852 Black Moon.

Of course, this could all just be coincidence, as I’m sure every True Believer of the official “It was them dern Moozlums” conspiracy narrative will tell us. I say that this many partile alignments are statistically unlikely, though not impossible if random charts are tossed on a bi-wheel.

To this day, not everyone agrees that the FBI’s main culprit mailed the letters. Obviously, we are dealing with a trickster – a Mercurial villain. The mail is ruled by Mercury, too. Mercury is the principal planet of 9/11, it being on the ascendant for the end of Flight 11.

Back in Medieval times, Mercury also ruled over astrology itself, as in the act of doing it, in the tradition of Hermetic pursuits and alchemy. Why? Because Mercury is all about learning and being learned. Why else put the word “SCHOOL” on those anthrax envelopes if not trying to teach us something?

And then, why the “4TH GRADE”?

The “fourth state” in alchemy is not a separate element but the perfected outcome of harmonizing the four cardinal elements of fire, earth, air and water. This state is embodied by the Quintessence on a material level and by the Rubedo phase in the spiritual and psychological journey toward complete integration.

The four stages of alchemy, also known as the color stages of the Great Work, are: Nigredo (blackening), Albedo (whitening), Citrinitas (yellowing), and Rubedo (reddening). These stages represent a cyclical process of transformation, moving from a state of chaos to a purified and perfected unity, symbolizing both alchemical and psychological transformation.

After all, making those buildings disappear was quite the majickal act! 9/11 is awash with all kinds of occult symbolism and sleights-of-hand. It’s a kabuki political theater on steroids.
