                                   Poison Dart Frog     For discerning observers, there was an obvious attempt this week by Britain to poison a delicate stage in peace negotiations for ending the conflict in Ukraine. The sabotage effort was as vivid as, well, how should we put it?, as vivid as a brightly colored dart frog from the South American rainforests. Five European governments signed a joint statement this week that dramatically claimed that Russian opposition figure Sergey Navalny was murdered two years ago in a Siberian prison by poisoning. https://shorturl.at/3YQMF     The astrological charts in this post highlight a striking thematic convergence around "frogs" (via fixed stars Rana and Fomalhaut) and the idea of slander or false accusation (via the Chinese asterism T’ien-Tsan, the Celestial...

          https://www.zerohedge.com/political/trump-hike-global-tariffs-15-blasts-ridiculous-anti-american-scotus-ruling     In mundane astrology, particularly when using the Sibly chart for the United States (July 4, 1776, 5:10 PM LMT, Philadelphia) the 8th house is frequently linked to tariffs, customs duties, import taxes, and broader financial relations with foreign countries—including trade imbalances, national debt tied to international dealings, and "other people's money" in the form of foreign investments or payments.This aligns with standard mundane significations:The 8th house governs financial relations with foreign nations, international debts/credits, shared resources across borders, and mechanisms like duties or taxes imposed on imports/exports (as a form of extracting or regulating "other nations' money" flowing into the country).   In the Sibly chart the Sun is in the financial/tax-related transformations or crises (8th)...

    The February 17, 2026, solar eclipse occured at approximately 28-29 degrees Aquarius on the MC at London.  Astrologers widely describe this as a highly charged, unpredictable event because the eclipse point forms a tight square to Uranus (at around 27 degrees Taurus). This square creates tension between Aquarian themes of freedom and Taurus, a sign tied to stability, and entrenched structures (which include issues of racial and ethnic bigotry) . Uranus, the modern ruler of Aquarius, amplifies the eclipse's disruptive, revolutionary energy—especially as Uranus is nearing the end of its long transit through Taurus.   The destabilizing nature of eclipses aligns well with the meaning that Austin Coppock gave to the third face of Taurus in his book 36 Faces. About this decan, Coppock states that it “represents a confrontation with destructive factors which impede completion,” as well as the need to enact remediation and “make plans to accommodate the unforeseen...

    Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the brother of King Charles III, was briefly arrested by UK police on Thursday on suspicion of misconduct in public office. He was later released and remains under investigation. Mountbatten-Windsor was stripped of his royal titles last year over his past friendship with disgraced US financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein https://www.rt.com/news/632802-prince-andrew-arrested-misconduct/     The astrological horoscope for Prince Andrew (born February 19, 1960, around 15:30 in London) is striking, especially in light of the timing around February 17–19, 2026. His natal Sun is at 0° Pisces part of a tense Grand Cross involving fixed signs or challenging aspects, including a square from Kronos (a transneptunian point associated with authority, elevation, and sometimes abuse of high position or hubris) to Pluto (power, transformation, corruption, hidden forces, and extremes). Kronos-Pluto contacts often symbolize themes of abuse ...

    On February 3, the US House Judiciary Committee published a 160-page investigation into how the EU systematically pressures social media companies to alter internal guidelines and suppress content. It found Brussels orchestrated a “decade-long campaign” to censor political speech across the bloc. In many cases, this amounted to direct meddling in political processes and elections of members, often using EU-endorsed civil society organizations. The report features several case studies of this “campaign” in action in EU member states, the gravest example being Romania. https://www.rt.com/news/632732-eus-quiet-war-on-democracy/     DYNAMIC REPORT   P1     Asp       P2 (H)              Type              Date            ...

      Genghis Khan's birth name was Temüjin. The  most widely accepted year of  his birth among modern historians is 1162. Some traditions or astrological interpretations suggest specific days like May 1 or May 31, 1162. Approximate coordinates for the claimed birthplace area near Delüün Boldog/Dadal are around 48.75°N, 109°E   This is a speculative reconstruction based on the traditionally favored Mongolian date of May 31, 1162. Presented here is a chart for the Full Moon on May 30, 1162, at approximately 11:47 local mean time near 48°45'N, 109°E.   The Full Moon at 14° Sagittarius is close to the IC (Imum Coeli, the lower meridian/4th house cusp in the Koch house system used here), tightly conjunct the fixed stars Aculeus and Lesath This placement ties into the Scorpion's "stinger" symbolism of venom, piercing attacks, crisis, and transformative power—fitting for a figure whose conquests involved ruthless military campaigns, mass destruction,...
