"Zach Bernhardt Astrology"<BR> Posted by Mikie on Sep-24-00 at 01:44 PM (EST)<P> Zachary Michael Cole Bernhardt<BR> b. Dec 18, 1991<BR> NATAL POSITIONS<P> Sun 26:16 Sag; Moon 19:00 Tau; Merc 07:55 Sag; Ven 14:32 Sco; Mars 14:05 Sag; Jup 14:23 Vir;<BR> Sat 04:26 Aq; Ur 12:54 Cap; Nep 15:43 Cap; Pl 21:39 Sco<P> Sunsign Sagittarius, (knowledge seeker), Moon in Taurus, (calm, steady, unchanging).<P> NATAL ASPECTS<P> Mars square Jupiter 00:18 (50) <BR> Definition from Braha "How to be a Great Astrologer"<P> If Mars is square Jupiter, the person is an extremist. He lacks balance and moderation, does not know<BR> when to quit, and is often foolishly fearless. There may be poor judgement and an overly-confident<BR> nature. Many individuals with this aspect are impetuous, biased, and opinionated. He may annoy<BR> others with conceit and exaggerated importance. He may give new meaning to the concept of<BR> arrogance. He excels in sports and loves to compete. He is a natural fighter and wins more often than<BR> not. There is strong sex drive and plenty of energy to get his desires fulfilled. <P> The person has a tendency to overextend himself. He may vacillate between extreme vitality and<BR> laziness. He may be overly indulgent in pleasures, and should be careful not to consume too many<BR> sweets or oils. As always with Jupiter afflictions, the liver is at risk. Rhough the person lacks common<BR> sense and temperance, success is favored. He takes risks easily and is impervious to the opinions of<BR> others. He is unyielding in his convictions. He is energetic and spirited. He is rarely, if ever, to be<BR> dissuaded from pursuing his goals.<P> The person may have a tendency to irritate or antagonize others. He enjoys winning, and bragging<BR> about his conquests. There may be difficulties with gurus or religious teachers. The person is intense<BR> in his beliefs, and may be known as a religious or philosophical fanatic. His energy is<BR> outward-directed, and there is a need for introspection and self-reflection. The person must take<BR> care not to produce sloppy or careless work. He may lack sensitivity, and lose friends on account of<BR> selfishness. The person is restless, and lives an active, physical life. He may be prejudiced and have<BR> troubles with authority. Traditional astrological texts declare that the person must avoid gambling and<BR> taking dangerous risks. He should work on modifying his excessiveness and extreme behavior, and<BR> consider the possibility of living a deeper, more rewarding existence based upon moderation,<BR> sensitivity, trust, and generosity. Martial arts master Bruce Lee had the Mars opposite Jupiter aspect<BR> within 3 degrees.<P> Jupiter trine Neptune (01:20) (49)<BR> (Braha)<P> "...the person is saintly...does no harm to others and his greatest concern is to help...sympathetic<BR> and compassionate...has the best heart...he is assured a life of happiness and profundity for the rest<BR> of his days...he is sensitive, kind, sincere, and genuine...a great human being.<P> ...there is a strong devotional nature...has unwavering faith in the devine...spiritual, reverent,<BR> inclined towards religious enthusiasm and ecstacy...may live a monastic life...is mystical, intuitive...is<BR> inspired and always shares his religious and philosophical knowledge...loves to pray and may<BR> occasionally rise to lofty heights of bliss...<P> "...is a visionary...dreamer...there is a need for discipline, responsibility, and practicality if the person<BR> is to make the most of the harmonious Jupiter Neptune aspect. He looks for the best in people and<BR> often misses the flaws and base motives of others. Because his intentions are so pure he has<BR> difficulty understanding corruption, greed, and selfishness. He is bewildered by politics and the "way<BR> of the world". ...is contemplative, receptive, and introspective... creative and he has a wonderful<BR> imagination...likes to consider the possibility of a utopian society where everybody wins.<P> "...is pleasant and easygoing...artistic...may choose a career in music, drama, photography, or any<BR> endeavor where he capitalizes on his inspiration and aesthetic sensibilities...is romantic and<BR> spirited...highly intuitive and may have accurate insights and hunches...love magic and large bodies<BR> of water...is generous and willing to care for others...will give up anything for his loved ones...There<BR> is an acute sense of right and wrong..may be lazy or too passive...may be overly<BR> sentimental...succeeds in hospital work or any other social service..often receives conspicuously<BR> lucky benefits and is well-loved for his remarkable character. Marlon Brando had the Jupiter trine<BR> Neptune aspect within two and one half degrees.<P> Venus sextile Jupiter 00:09 (40)<BR> (Braha)<P> Graceful, charmed, poised, optimistic, has good taste, well-liked, compassionate, sensitive, kind,<BR> sympathetic, high morals, good ethics, loyal, devoted, trustworthy, will never hurt his lover's feelings,<BR> has unwavering faith in God, always expects the best to occur, is happy, enthusiastic, thrilled with<BR> life, avoids all circumstances of potentially or melancholy vibrations.<P> Uranus conjunct Neptune in Capricorn 02:51(40)<BR> (Braha)<P> "...will experience intense confusion regarding his independence, self-reliance, and individuality...may<BR> feel no inner confidence regarding his own creativity, originality, and inventiveness...may have the<BR> greatest idealism, romanticism, and visionary nature about the possibilities of human existence...may<BR> grasp, from birth, the concept of maya (illusion) and the futility of materialism...will percieve the<BR> potential for utopian life and help make it a reality...are likely to be extreme escapist tendencies and<BR> therefore the person should avoid drugs and alcohol altogether. Extrasensory perception will be acute<BR> and abundant. Karl Marx, Walt Whitman, Clara Barton (originator of the Red Cross) and Mary Baker<BR> Eddy (founder of Christian Science) were born during the last Uranus Neptune conjunction, which<BR> occurs every 170 years.<P> PLANET POSITIONS AT TIME MISSING<P> Sun 18:53 Vir; Moon 20:34 Aq; Merc 05:30 Lib; Ven 13:42 Lib; Mars 26:24 Leo; Jup 10:41 Gem; Sat<BR> 00:59 Gem; Ur 17:41 Aq; Nep 04:06 Aq; Pl 10:16 Sag<P> TRANSITS AT TIME MISSING<BR> Sept 11, 2000 4am<P><BR> Transiting Neptune conjuncts Natal Saturn(100)<BR> (from Braha's "How to Predict Your Future")<P> When transiting Neptune conjuncts natal Saturn, the person experiences a stressful period during<BR> which old perceptions of reality erode and worn-out structures of his life crumble. The personšs<BR> business may disintegrate, his career may end, and certain basic externals of his life may suddenly<BR> collapse. The person finds that he can no longer rely on the foundations upon which he has based his<BR> existence. Even more disconcerting, his convictions, beliefs, and dverything important to him are<BR> proved inconsequential by the uncontrollable circumstances that are destroying his past attainments<BR> and accomplishments. It is impossible to predict exactly which areas of the personšs life will be most<BR> affected. But whatever constitutes the basis of her reality now dissolves in order to help the person<BR> grow.<P> The puropose of this transit, on the mundane level, is to force the person to move on to new realms<BR> of life because his old reality has outlived its usefulness. An individual who is concerned with his<BR> personal growth confronts the ever-changing nature of existence during this transit and realizes that<BR> realities are different in different states of consciousness. When the person analyzes the reason<BR> behind the profound changes of his external circumstances, he begins to realize that his inner being<BR> has slowly been transformed. As he considers the matter carefully and honestly, he realizes that his<BR> ambitions are no longer what they were. His motivations coming from within - from the soul, psyche,<BR> or spirit - have changed, and, consequently, important features of his life have broken down. <P> For many, the approximately two-year period when Neptune repeatedlyy conjuncts the natal Saturn<BR> for two to four months at a time is difficult. The person feels insecure, vulnerable, and unprotected.<BR> He is confused, disoriented, and anxious. Many of his resources are gone, he has little control, and he<BR> has lost his authority over others. Worse than this, he has no access to his usual wisdom. He feels<BR> his current problems are caused by his past experience. Had he not undertaken the course of action<BR> chosen long ago, he feels, he would not be in his current precarious situation. The person should take<BR> particularly good care of himself. He is under great stress, whether he realizes it or not, and should<BR> eat well and get plenty of rest. His best strategy is to let go of attachments to the form and<BR> structure of his life and try to flow with nature. He should follow his heart, his instincts, and his<BR> intuitions, and above all, avoid making decisions based upon what is most reasonable, most<BR> conservative, and appears like the right thing to do. The personšs task is to act in accordance with<BR> his feelings and his nature, whatever that happens to be. He may have to endure a temporary but<BR> necessary period of uncertainty and adjustment before moving foreward. Or he may have to embark<BR> on a path that, though relevant now, seems frivolant from his previous perspective. The important<BR> thing is for the person to be true to himself and pursue the most honest, heartfelt desires that he<BR> can.<P> The person has troubles in the areas of life ruled by Saturnšs natal postition. (Time of birth not<BR> available). He is forced to acknowledge his flaws, and he may suffer a great loss of reputation and<BR> prestige. Activities begun during this transit flounder, intensifying the personšs discouragement and<BR> depression. Business activities are not at all favored. The person has problems with real estate and<BR> building projects. He gets no help from old, wise persons or those in authority. He should surround<BR> himself with loving, supporting individuals throughout this entire period and avoid negative or<BR> pessimistic people who add to his fears and gloom. As for his health, the teeth and bones are<BR> vulnerable, and the person should therefore take calcium in a healthy form. Individuals with arthritis<BR> may experience more discomfort than usual. The person is susceptible to strange illnesses that may<BR> be difficult to properly diagnose.<P><BR> Mars trine natal Sun (70)<BR> (Lasts only a few days.) from Hand, "Planets in Transit".<P> During this transit your energies are high, and you feel vigorous and willing to work. At the same time,<BR> your self-confidence is unusually strong. You feel no need to struggle against others, because you<BR> know y our normal energies will carry you through any situation. And since you are able to work from<BR> such a calm position, your work is more effective and more competent than usual. <P> This period is favorable for initiating all kinds of activity, especially physical activity, but it is much<BR> more likely that you will work on projects that you have started earlier. <P> You do not feel violently competitive, but if someone offers a challenge, you won't back down.<BR> Therefore this is a good time for all types of athletics. You will enjoy the contest, but you will not<BR> feel driven to win at all costs. The game will seem satisfactory by itself. And you will carry this<BR> viewpoint over into all the activities you become involved in at this time.<P> This is a favorable transit for situations that require decisive action. Your mind is operating with great<BR> energy while maintaining equilibrium. Consequently you are very clear about your intentions, and you<BR> know what course to follow at every turn. <P> No matter what you do under this influence, others will see you as someone with a definite<BR> personality. Your vigor and enthusiasm will make a favorable impression, so you will be in a good<BR> position to deal with bosses or other persons in power. In general this is a favorable time for dealing<BR> with men, regardless of your own sex.<P> If you are involved in a love relationship, this is a favorable transit for that. The present balance<BR> between our needs and your loved one's needs for self-gratification enables both of you to give and<BR> gain from each other.<P> TransitingSun trine natal Moon (70)<BR> (Lasts only one day.) From Hand, "Planets in Transit".<P> "...a time of inner peace and balance...serenity...live through your feelings as well as your<BR> intellect...able to make the compromises necessary to getting along with others...Friendships and<BR> love relationships that start under this transit will have important consequences for your future life<BR> and may have a strong effect on your attitudes toward life in general."<P> SUMMARY<P> The aspects shows that Zach is a person with vitality and a natural fighter, that is well-liked, a<BR> knowledge-seeker who is religiously faithful and optimistic and enthusiastic about his life, who would<BR> not do anything to hurt those he loves, yet may be "foolishly fearless" and, "...his intentions are so<BR> pure he has difficulty understanding corruption, greed, and selfishness." <P> This implys that he was abducted by a stranger who did it for greed and selfishness. His character<BR> may have made his abduction easier since he would not see the abductor's ill intentions and his<BR> vitality would give him overconfidence.<P> The transits show that for Zach "...certain basic externals of his life may suddenly collapse. .. (he)<BR> feels insecure, vulnerable, and unprotected...he has no access to his usual wisdom...if someone<BR> offers(him) a challenge, (he) won't back down..." <P> Perhaps this means he was given some sort of lure such as a challenge, to get him out of the house. <P> <BR> <BR> <P> <BR> 3 . "Ladybug"<BR> Posted by LovelyPigeon on Sep-26-00 at 07:06 PM (EST)<BR> Do you hear anything about this case? Is there still searching going on by authorities? <P> This case really tugs at my heart...maybe because I used to live in that area, and because I have<BR> two sons... <P> <BR> <BR> <P> <BR> 4 . "Investigative Search"<BR> Posted by LadyBug on Sep-27-00 at 02:37 PM (EST)<BR> LovelyPigeon, I have 'friends' in Zachary's area who are keeping me updated and IF I could keep up<BR> with all the missing kids I would post anything new . Apparently, for a reason we do not know AMW<BR> did not run the flash feature of Zach on Saturday 9-23. Best to check AMW schedules again. Search<BR> <a href="http://www.amw.com";>http://www.amw.com<;/a> <P> YES the search goes on, but press releases are what I would be more interested in than a news<BR> reporters opinion, which in most missing children cases, is the cause of rumors to flow.<P> ALSO: I have a direct image above of Zachary from the NCMEC. If there should be is a red X, that<BR> would indicate that Zac has been removed from their files. Sometimes it takes a few days for the red<BR> X to appear. NCMEC is far behind, they need our help. <P> It just happened that Zachary (Clearwater, FLA) *was only ONE of the 2,000 children that goes<BR> missing each day. *(this information recently released by the FBI).<P> Place flyers in car windows, contact a trucking firm, ask them to take a pile of flyers along to truck<BR> stops. Zachary could be most anywhere, the state at this time wouldn't matter. HE's been away too<BR> long already, but I never give up hope. <P> <BR> <BR> <P> <BR> 5 .

"America's Most Wanted"<BR> Posted by Satin on Oct-07-00 at 10:34 AM (EST)<BR> Ekgman on the St. Pete Times forum reports this:<P> "I called Gina at America's Most Wanted. Zach's story was scheduled to be run on Sept. 23. It was<BR> cancelled because "Zach's mother refused to give permission for the piece to be run"."<P> Apparently it was the police who contacted AMW, but naturally the parents need to give permission<BR> for it to be aired.<P> Still no updates on Zach's whereabouts, I'm afraid. No news stories, nothing. Its as if everyone lost<BR> interest in an investigation since Leah's actions came under suspicion! Let's not forget that those<BR> actions don't even indicate she was directly involved in Zach's disappearance, so the SEARCH must<BR> continue!<P> <BR> 25 . "The mother"<BR> Posted by Ashley on Oct-15-00 at 01:59 AM (EST)<BR> could have lied and now she's to afraid to tell the truth. Maybe she doesn't want the program to air<BR> because she fears they will mostly focus on her...and she doesn't want to be the next Susan<BR> Smith,especially if she's innocent of his disappearence.<P> I know this might anger some of you, but I feel the need to say it anyway. The neighbor with the<BR> website should be looked at very closely.<P> The mother might have been gone ALL night or possibly longer and left the poor child to fend for<BR> himself... some close by sicko that was watching could have known this and then acted.<P> Just some thoughts... he is gone under very suspicious circumstances. There's got to be a logical<BR> explanation for it.<P> Of course, there's nothing logical about a kidnapping, but you know what I mean. The kidnapper is<BR> close,very close. Not some weirdo off the highway who just happen to strike it lucky. <P> <BR> <BR> <P> <BR> 26 .

Visit the forum while at St. Petes and read for yourself the attitude<BR> of the posters while EKG screams out for help, they in turn are blasting Zach's Mother and seems<BR> rumors are what posters enjoy and like to chat about which IMO is worse than following the TABS. <P> Special 'thanks' to Satin who posted this link which will take us directly to news of Zachary.<BR> Note the last article date...few and far between.<P> You can find all the stories published on Zach's disappearance by the St. Pete Times at<BR> <a href="http://www.sptimes.com/News/webspecials/zacharybernhardt";>http://www.sptimes.com/News/webspecials/zacharybernhardt<;/a>/ <P> <BR> <BR> <P> <BR> 29 .

All they need is a color<BR> printer to download the picture from his site and print out as many as they wish. I sympathize with<BR> his frustration, but the way he expresses himself on that forum does very little that is positive.<P> If he rants and raves like that when he tries to communicate with law enforcement he may find<BR> himself being investigated. We all know that criminals will sometimes attempt to involve themselves in<BR> the investigation. I'm not pointing a finger at him, just pointing out that law enforcement may see his<BR> behavior in a very different way than he himself perceives it.<P><BR> <BR> <BR> <P> <BR> 30 . "Frustrated Yes Indeed !"<BR> Posted by LadyBug on Oct-19-00 at 03:06 PM (EST)<BR> Mousey, EKGman has been active in search for Zachary since he went missing. I know of his<BR> frustration and we have talked about it.<P> Sometimes efforts go to silent ears and the general public would rather condemn parent(s) and<BR> spread gossip than to search for the child. As quick as the information was reported about the<BR> Mother Leah, the ribbons and fliers started to come down. Poor Zachary is the loser.<P> For instance, where is Zachary's Father and where is Zachary's little black puppy he was seen with<BR> on the day before he went missing. No one is addressing these issues...they would rather gossip<BR> about Leah. Makes one want to scream, and EKGman is doing just that, IMO. However, it's best to<BR> take a break and this may be what EKGman needs to do.<P> There is much more information regarding security at Sierra Trace, the immediate surrounding area<BR> and the investigation which has been expressed to me by EKGman that I have his permission to post,<BR> however for the safety of Zachary, I have chosen not to do so, because I don't know who is lurking<BR> here.<P> Take a break EKG, you need it now ! <P> <BR>
