Argo Navis – Jason’s celestial ship US actor Leonard Nimoy, who played Mr Spock in the cult sci-fi series Star Trek, has died at the age of 83 in Los Angeles , his family has said. His son, Adam, said he died of end-stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease on Friday morning in Bel-Air , California . Nimoy had a long career as both an actor and director. However he was best known for his portrayal of the half-human, half-Vulcan character in both the TV franchise and series of films. Last year, the actor revealed he was suffering chronic lung disease COPD, despite stopping smoking 30 years ago. BBC http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-31662024 Leonard Nimoy’s horoscope [1] is available at Astro DataBank. He was born at the last waning Uranus-Pluto square.  When the two planets went through a conjunction at [16vi] during 1965-67,  close to stars in the sail of the Celestial Ship Argo Navis,  he  became famous as the pointed-eared alien Spock in "St

A leading Russian opposition politician, former Deputy Prime Minister Boris Nemtsov, has been shot dead in Moscow , Russian officials say. An unidentified attacker in a car shot Mr Nemtsov four times in the back as he crossed a bridge in view of the Kremlin, police say. He died hours after appealing for support for a march on Sunday in Moscow against the war in Ukraine . Feb.27 BBC http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-31669061 Boris Yefimovich Nemtsov ( 9 October 1959 – 27 February 2015) was a Russian statesman and liberal politician. He was a successful politician during the 1990s under President Boris Yeltsin, and since 2000 he was an outspoken critic of Vladimir Putin. Yeltsin and his team is considered by many to be part of an American plot to loot and destabilize Russia after the break up of the USSR . If  Nemtsov wasn’t assassinated by the CIA in order to blame Putin, most likely he was killed by Russian nationalists who saw him as Washington ’s agent [1].

Aquila kidnapping Antinous A South African woman has appeared in court over the kidnapping of a baby in a Cape Town hospital 17 years ago. The girl's biological parents, Celeste and Morne Nurse, were reunited with her after she was enrolled in the same school as her sister.  After seeing the pair's likeness, the biological family invited the girl for coffee and then contacted police. DNA tests have confirmed the identity of the girl, who has been placed in the care of social workers. Mr Nurse said his daughter was receiving extensive counselling. His wife said it was "like a dream" to see her daughter again.  "When she met Cassidy [her sister], there was just an incredible connection and it started from there," she told CapeTalk radio.

The Federal Communications Commission approved the policy known as net neutrality by a 3-2 vote at its Thursday meeting, with FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler saying the policy will ensure "that no one — whether government or corporate — should control free open access to the Internet."  The Open Internet Order helps to decide an essential question about how the Internet works, requiring service providers to be a neutral gateway instead of handling different types of Internet traffic in different ways — and at different costs. http://n.pr/1GyIs1P Shown here is the chart for the February 25, First Quarter Moon at Washington , DC where the Federal Communications Commission has its headquarters. The Sun is conjunct stars in the Urn of the humanitarian Water Bearer. The refreshing water flowing from the Urn is a symbol a commodity available for all who “thirst”. The Moon is conjunct stars of action oriented Taurus. The following passage from Nick Fiorenza [1]

Citing RT’s influence, Secretary of State John Kerry asked US lawmakers for more money for propaganda and “democracy promotion” programs around the world. “Russia Today (sic) can be heard in English, do we have an equivalent that can be heard in Russian? It’s a pretty expensive proposition. They are spending huge amounts of money,” Kerry told the House Appropriations Subcommittee, apparently forgetting that Voice of America had been broadcasting in Russian since 1947. Feb. 26;  http://rt.com/usa/235579-kerry-budget-rt-hearing/                                     This news is best understood if we start with the current directions in the US Sibly [1]. The solar arc Sun [9pi] is square Uranus [9ge] in the seventh house which in mundane national charts deals with enemies. This is especially relevant in our context since Uranus is in Gemini – the sign associated with news or news channels so that the enemy so to speak is a foreign news channel! A solar arc direction is like t

Lots of people love the birds in their garden, but it's rare for that affection to be reciprocated. One young girl in Seattle is luckier than most. She feeds the crows in her garden - and they bring her gifts in return. Eight-year-old Gabi Mann sets a bead storage container on the dining room table, and clicks the lid open. This is her most precious collection. "You may take a few close looks," she says, "but don't touch." It's a warning she's most likely practised on her younger brother. She laughs after saying it though. She is happy for the audience. Feb.25 http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-31604026 We will use this story to  illustrate how the essence of the April 2014 lunar eclipse is brought out  through the kindness of a little girl. The eclipse along with a powerful Grand Cross was placed significantly on the meridian axis at Seattle . The eclipse Moon [25li]  was conjunct the stars Spica, [24li] alpha Virgo, the Vir

Hyades Residents in the northern Dutch town of Purmerend have been advised to take umbrellas out at night after a spate of attacks by an owl. Dozens of residents have suffered head injuries over the past three weeks at the claws of the rogue European eagle owl. Two runners were attacked on Tuesday, with one requiring stitches for five separate head wounds. Feb.25; http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-31628508 This news comes at the First Quarter Moon, a chart for which is shown here. Notice the very significant placement of the Moon on the MC as part of a T-square with the Sun-Neptune conjunction on the descendant and Saturn on the IC. The Moon [6ge] was conjunct the stars of Hyades in the constellation of Taurus. Taurus, the Bull,  is a very ancient figure dating from the Magdalenian epoch (ca.19,000 to 10,000 BCE) or even earlier: the Lascaux cave paintings of southeastern France include a bull (actually, an aurochs, now extinct) with the tilted “V”

Respected Moscow scientist Professor Vasily Bogoyavlensky has called for 'urgent' investigation of the new phenomenon amid safety fears. Until now, only three large craters were known about in northern Russia with several scientific sources speculating last year that heating from above the surface due to unusually warm climatic conditions, and from below, due to geological fault lines, led to a huge release of gas hydrates, so causing the formation of these craters in Arctic regions. Two of the newly-discovered large craters - also known as funnels to scientists - have turned into lakes, revealed Professor Bogoyavlensky, deputy director of the Moscow-based Oil and Gas Research Institute, part of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Feb. 23 http://bit.ly/1JLH0yy Shown here is the chart for the First Quarter Moon  of Feb.25 at Bovanenkovo close to the place where the craters appeared. Notice the Uranus-Pluto square placed significantly on the angles with b

Toxic fumes in cabin air pose a health risk to frequent fliers and aircrew, a coroner has said in a landmark report. Stanhope Payne, the senior coroner for Dorset , said people regularly exposed to fumes circulating in planes faced “consequential damage to their health”. Mr Payne, who is inquiring into the death of Richard Westgate, a British Airways pilot, called on BA and the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to take “urgent action to prevent future deaths”. Most airline passengers, who fly only occasionally, will not be affected by the problem, but some frequent travellers who are genetically susceptible to the toxins could fall ill.

Feb. 18, 2015 (EIRNS)—What Americans need to know about Greece and “its debt,” is that the new Greek government is asking the European Union to shut down a huge Wall Street-London bank swindle and make economic growth possible again in Europe . If that doesn’t happen, the worsening bankruptcy of the whole trans-Atlantic banking system will continue to generate desperate confrontations with major powers Russia and China, with the threat of world war. The Greek debt swindle was classic. In 2009 Greece ’s debt was $300 billion. It then “got” two huge bailouts in 2010 and 2012, of about $140 billion each. Less than 10% of that $275 billion stayed in Greece and was spent by the Greek government; more than 90% went directly and immediately to Deutschebank, HSBC, JPMorgan Chase, and their fellow sharks, with small amounts crumbling to the hedge funds swimming alongside. Former Greek Economics Minister Louka Katseli has given documentation that the Greek government actually got to sp

A group of shipping companies and a powerful dockworkers union reached a tentative labor deal late on Friday (Fe. 20) after nine months of negotiations, settling a dispute that disrupted the flow of cargo through 29 U.S. West Coast ports and snarled trans-Pacific maritime trade with Asia .  The agreement, confirmed in a joint statement by the two sides, was reached three days after U.S. Labor Secretary Thomas Perez arrived in San Francisco to broker a deal with the help of a federal mediator who had joined the talks six weeks earlier. http://read.bi/17qSqGm This news is best understood if we start with the October 23, 2014 solar eclipse. Shown here is the eclipse chart drawn for San Francisco . Notice that the eclipse is not only placed in the 9 th house that is linked with shipping [1] but also conjunct the star Mia Placidus, the beta star of the celestial ship Argo Navis. Three other entities define the eclipse. It is conjunct the asteroid Pallas, quincunx

Homeless people in the UK are getting free meals thanks to a centuries-old Sikh tradition. Why, asks Rajeev Gupta. "We come here because we get food... A hot meal. It's a luxury for me." John Davidson is 55 and homeless. He is one of 250 people who have just received a hand-out of hot soup, drinks, chocolate bars and other supplies from the Sikh Welfare and Awareness Team van parked up on the Strand in central London on a cold Sunday evening. The Swat team, as they're known, park at the same spot every week so a group of volunteers from the Sikh community can hand out vital supplies. Homeless people, who overwhelmingly are not Sikh, patiently wait in line to be served.

Venus and Mars Strange and surprising findings have been reported from ongoing excavations at Alepotrypa Cave , a site in the Peloponnesus that one archaeologist called "a Neolithic Pompeii," the Greek Ministry of Culture, Education, and Religious Affairs announced. The most striking discovery was a burial from roughly 5,800 years ago containing two well-preserved adult human skeletons, one male and one female, with arms and legs interlocked in an embrace. National Geographic; Feb.20. http://bit.ly/1DIrlwf Shown here is chart for the current New Moon at the Alepotrypa Cave , Mani , Greece .  The New Moon [0pi] is conjunct Neptune [6pi] and square Saturn [4sa] on the Ascendant making it significant for the place.  The New Moon and Neptune are conjunct stars of the Chinese Wei which presided over tombs and graves [1]. The fourth house is linked to the beginning and end of life so by association it has been referred to as “the womb and the to

Apollo and the Raven Three shrines, dating back about 3,300 years, have been discovered within a hilltop fortress at Gegharot, in Armenia .  Local rulers at the time likely used the shrines for divination, a practice aimed at predicting the future, the archaeologists involved in the discovery say. Each of the three shrines consists of a single room holding a clay basin filled with ash and ceramic vessels. A wide variety of artifacts were discovered including clay idols with horns, stamp seals, censers used to burn substances and a vast amount of animal bones with markings on them. During divination practices, the rulers and diviners may have burnt some form of substances and drank wine, allowing them to experience "altered" states of mind, the archaeologists say. "The logic of divination presumes that variable pathways articulate the past, present and future, opening the possibility that the link between a current situation and an eventual outcome might be

Evidence emerging from a CIA leak case could change the outcome of United Nations’ assessments of Iran ’s nuclear program, Bloomberg reported Friday (Feb.20). The revelations emerged from the trial of Jeffrey Sterling, a former CIA agent convicted of leaking details of a 2000 plot wherein the agency fed faulty blueprints for nuclear weapons to Iran in an effort to derail any weapons development efforts.  The International Atomic Energy Agency is the UN agency tasked with determining whether or not Iran has been pursuing a weapons program, and a judgement that they had not been could mean the lifting of sanctions against Iran . This new information will likely mean a reassessment of their intelligence reports if evidence for Iran ’s pursuit of nuclear weapons rested on planted blueprints supplied by the CIA, two diplomats told Bloomberg on condition of anonymity. http://sputniknews.com/military/20150221/1018557533.html The Capricorn Ingress chart is considered th

CINCINNATI , OH – Do you believe in past lives? An Ohio boy’s family says they didn’t until the child started sharing specific details. He spoke about living another life, in a different city,  as a woman who suffered a horrific death.  Feb.16 http://bit.ly/1MEE7i2 This news can be understood if we look at the chart for the current New Moon at Cincinnati . The New Moon is placed significantly on the descendant. Here the Sun which is the ruler of the twelfth house is conjunct Neptune . The Twelfth house and its ruler have a strong connection to past life memories [1]. Neptune itself is associated with the spirit world so that the combination of Sun and Neptune speaks of  the capacity to get in touch with residual past life memories. In addition the Sun is trine the TNP Hades (past or past lives) and semi-sextile the asteroid Memoria (memories). The TNP Zeus (fires) makes hard aspects to the MC, IC  and the New Moon. On the IC are the asteroids Lacrimosa (death) and
