You mean to tell me Jesus from the Bible was also an Aries like me?

In an earlier blog I mentioned the Three Wisemen from the Bible (when I discovered that a lot of men in my Patriarchal line were named after one of them called Melchior). During the research for that blog entry I came across an interesting theory that Jesus was born in April. This would mean Jesus was an Aries like me. (side note: Since this really isn't about my ancestry like the other blogs are, I should also mention that Geni.com says that Jesus is my 10th cousin 81 times removed.)

Jesus being an Aries kinda makes sense to me as Aries are outspoken people who tend to make their own paths in life. What do you think? Was Jesus an Aries? 

Here are a few things other people have said about it: 

"First, Luke 2:7-8 says "We know that shepherds were in the fields watching their flocks at the time of Jesus' birth." As everyone who lives north of the Florida knows, it's way too fucking cold in December to have any living creature out there. This suggests Jesus was born in a more temperate month. Another verse, Luke 2:1-4, says "Jesus' parents came to Bethlehem to register in a Roman census." Apparently, the census was historically taken in the Spring." (April 1st to be exact)

"Astrology was widely used at the time, and with the Magi coming from Babylon, it's plausible that they were astrologers. And due to a particular alignment of planets and stars, they may have read a hidden meaning among the stars, leading them to King Herod. For example, Jupiter's display could have been of great significance here, as astrology associated the planet Jupiter with royalty, so the moon passing it in the constellation of Aries on April 17, 6 B.C. could have heralded the birth of Christ."

"Biblical scholars agree that Christ was born sometime between April 1 and September 30, 4 BC. I think that April is the most likely month, because of these 4 arguments:

1) The fact that the shepherds were “keeping watch over their flock by night” (Luke 2:8), would seem to indicate, according to some historians, that it was “the spring lambing season, when nights would have been balmy and shepherds would have needed to be awake, tending the ewes.” The spring lambing season is mostly in April. (J. I. Packer, Merrill C. Tenny and William White, Jr., The World of the New Testament (Nashville: Thomas Nelson Publishers, 1982), p. 115.)

2) In 243 AD, the church produced an official feast calendar called De Pascha Computus, which placed the date of Christ’s birth on April 2. It is a historical fact that many in the early church celebrated Christ’s birth in April (Paul Lee Tan, Encyclopedia of 7,700 Illustrations (Rockville: Assurance Publishers, 1979), n. 2714. )

3) There are historians such as Edward Reese and Frank Klassen who wrote The Reese Chronological Bible (Minneapolis: Bethany House Publishers, 1980), who state that the origin of April Fools Day is in Christ’s Birth. Early Christians were often derided by the Jews and Greeks, and these historians claim that since Christ’s Birth was on April 1, the Christians were called “April Fools.”

4) Another argument comes from the idea that Jesus is the Lamb of God. In keeping with that idea, it would make sense that He was born at the season when other passover lambs were born (John 1:29). The passover lamb was to be “a male of the first year” (Exodus 12:5), which means that it was born the previous April. (Edward Reese and Frank Klassen, The Reese Chronological Bible (Minneapolis: Bethany House Publishers, 1980), Introduction and p. 1250.)"

What's in a name? Who are the Jossy's and where did they come from?

I decided to research my Jossy Patriarchal line as far back as I could. I made it all the way back to the 1300s and along the way I learned some things. For one thing my last name has evolved over time. My father spelled his last name Jossy but a few generations back they spelled it Jossi. Go back a few more and it becomes von Jossa. This journey took me from Washington State to Oregon to Switzerland and eventually Germany. I also learned that the "von" represents nobility.  I also noticed that they repeated the same first names a lot. There were a lot of Peter's for example. Peter is a very old name. The people of ancient Greece used it and its said to mean "rock." Of course Peter was also one of the disciples of Jesus which is probably where most people know it from but Peter the disciple was nick-named that by Jesus. He was born with the name Simon and I found that name in my Patriarchal line too.  Simon is also an ancient name. It means " hearkening or...

All that Jasz

While following my Patriarchal line, I noticed that my last name evolved over time - the last change I can't yet find but I found some hints. As I explained in my last blog seemed that around 1100 AD we may have been named after a river. Or the river may have been named after us. All I know is that we were both there with the name Jossa around that time. I can't trace the name beyond that point. They were obviously wealthy because they built castles and had "von" in front of the name which indicated Lordship.  I read also that German last names can mean their original occupation but it can also indicate the place where they are from. Several times while reading about the von Jossa's, they also called them "von Jasza" and this confused me.  I also learned that they used to name rivers after their Gods. Was the Jossa river named after an old Pagan God? Probably not. I see no evidence of this. Then I ran across a old map of Europe that had a place named Jas...

Elon Musk isn't the only one interested in the underground

I've always been fascinated with tunnels. As a young girl I went spelunking on a school field trip through several caves in the Ozark Mountains. I couldn't tell you where exactly but I vividly remember one cave that we had to go down through a small opening down into a huge cavern where we camped inside for the night. It was as big as a football field. Another cave we had to wade through red clay almost knee deep. As an adult I visited Montana and we went into a small narrow cave just tall enough to walk upright and narrow enough to be able to touch both sides of the cave with my hands. Probably to the annoyance of my companions, I couldn't help but to sing as we walked because the sound was so amazing in there. Cave resonance I learned recently is a real thing and can be very powerful at healing and accessing our third eye spirituality. If you study religion at all, you know that many mystics and spiritual leaders received inspiration and messages from beyond while spendin...
