Matthias Neptune conjunct Sun in any sign is uber-charm
This page is dedicated to a Virgo, my Father, his birthday was the 26th. He had a Neptune~Sun conjunction and died over a decade ago.
Born into a powerful and elegant family with a family tree that dates back to 1363, he came here, the second born twin. He refused a 1000 hectar farm and came here with $10.00 in his pocket, no English and a sixth grade education after supporting his family.
His twin brother, Jacques, who went to the university inherited the farm my father built after his father was shot in front of him by Nazi renegade soldiers while Jacques went to school. The twins, 14 at the time, and their father, disarmed and killed five soldiers without having any weapons. One Nazi lived long enough to shoot my grandfather.
The twins, Jacques and Dad, didn't speak for over 30 years. Dad's mother gave the farm my father worked and expected to inherit to his twin brother, Jacques. My father expected that since Jacques had received the education he would be given the farm for his dedication in feeding and supporting the family from the age of 14 to 23. My grandmother offered to purchase another farm for dad, he refused it and came to the USA where he changed his name and dropped the title of three words and made his last name one word.
His father, my Grandfather, kissed his children and wife good-bye, my father rode with the doctor to the hospital. His father died of blood loss on the operating table after having not wanted to leave home and delaying too long. Dad didn't get to say good-bye to his father.
He was very careful to always say, "good-bye."
He was exceptionally handsome, refined high cheek bones, charming, quiet, elegant, never slammed doors, never walked heavily, never yelled. He was also, honest with his wife, my mother. He had integrity and honor and respect.
He was brilliant, a true genius.
When he died the little church in Middleburg, Virginia, built by JFK Jr., was filled to overflowing. Everyone from the captains of industry to the trashman thought Dad was just like him. He had true humility.
He disappeared every Saturday, we had no idea where he was but we, his six children and his wife never thought twice about it, he was doing whatever he needed to do. We found out later why he vanished after working and leaving home at 5:00 a.m. five days a week and coming home at 6:00 p.m.
When he died dozens of people came up to me and said, "your father saved my marriage, your father got me a job, your father helped me get a bike when I could not drive. Your father helped me get a car."
My father died due to political stress. Then Mayor, Marion Barry, of Washington, D.C. attempted to bribe my father with a million dollars and a thousand acres to give contracts to his "buddies," to build the Metro, which my father accurately assessed would cost D.C. three times as much money and five times as many lives as the Mayor had projected. My father refused and collected evidence against the then Mayor. My father's stress was due to the fact that he would have to subpoena witnesses who were his friends, coworkers who had children to feed.
Dad loathed politicians. He most loathed President Johnson, LBJ, an oil king from Texas. JFK's last act in office was to request an audit of the Federal Reserve. LBJ, Pres. Johnson, rescinded this request as his first act in office.
This dedication is to a truly incredible giant of integrity, who walked quietly among us.
I love you Dad, thank you for being you and being my father in this lifetime. Since our Saturns are conjunct, and very strong, I will look forward to seeing you again next time, although I appreciate all the visits you pay me now.
