ROME/MILAN, Aug 30 (Reuters) - Italian energy group Eni said on Sunday it had discovered the largest known gas field in the Mediterranean off the Egyptian coast, predicting the find could help meet Egypt's gas needs for decades to come. The Italian major said in a statement the offshore "Zohr" field could hold 30 trillion cubic feet of gas, covering an area of about 100 square kilometres (60 square miles). http://in.reuters.com/article/2015/08/30/eni-gas-idINL5N1150EF20150830 We are now in the shadow of the total lunar eclipse of September 28. A chart for the eclipse at  Rome has the Jupiter-Neptune opposition on the horizon axis that was activated by yesterday’s Full Moon. In mundane astrology, Neptune rules  “natural gas”[1] while a keyword for Jupiter is “large”. In addition, Neptune is conjunct the star Gamma (γ) Aquarius, Sadalachbia. Sadachbia, Gamma Aquarius, is the lucky star of hidden things and hiding places. Sadachbia is a part

Researchers say taking forty winks in the middle of the day could reduce blood pressure and stave off heart attacks. The findings of the study were unveiled at a conference of the European Society of Cardiology. Aug 30 http://www.bbc.com/news/health-34101263 The upcoming total lunar eclipse of September 28 overshadows  major world events. A chart for the eclipse at London,  where the European Society of Cardiology  conference is being held, is shown here. Notice that it makes hard aspects to the meridian suggesting that it has an important message for the place. The salient  elements of the eclipse from which the news can be pieced are as follows. Mars and Neptune align with the horizon axis. It is well known to astrologers that with a Mars-Neptune  combination, focus is compromised and physical energy depleted. Here Mars, the planet connected with energy and activity, is opposite Neptune, the planet linked with sleep, in a way suggesting a need for rest. Mars

The European Union has called emergency talks on tackling the bloc's escalating migration crisis.  The EU presidency said interior ministers from all 28 member states would hold an extraordinary meeting on 14 September, and the crisis had reached "unprecedented proportions". It follows a week that saw hundreds more people drown in the Mediterranean and 71 die in a lorry in Austria. A record number of 107,500 migrants reached the EU's borders last month. The UN says the continuing conflict in Syria is a major factor behind the rise in numbers. Border controls in Greece, Italy and Hungary have particularly struggled with the stem of migrants from not only Syria but the rest of the Middle East and Africa. Next month's extraordinary meeting was announced late on Sunday by Luxembourg, which holds the EU's rotating presidency.

Depressed people who display "risky behaviour", agitation and impulsivity are at least 50% more likely to attempt suicide, a study has found. Research by the European College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ECNP) concluded that the behaviour patterns "precede many suicide attempts". The study said effective prevention measures were "urgently needed". The World Health Organisation estimates that there were more than 800,000 suicides worldwide in 2012. Aug. 30 http://www.bbc.com/news/health-34101608 To understand this news we will go back to the lunar eclipse of April 4. This eclipse was discussed in two previous posts [1][2] connected to mental health and depression. We start with the chart for the eclipse drawn for Barcelona where the author of the study Dr. Dina Popovic  is based. The eclipse axis coincides with the meridian and is part of a T-square with Uranus-Pluto which among other things is associated with a breakdown. So

A team of archeologists from the University of Tel Aviv have uncovered a collection of ancient scrolls in the West Bank region, near the Qumran Caves, where the Dead Sea Scrolls were originally uncovered in 1947, and which promise to shed a new light on the life and physical appearance of Jeomessus Christ. The newly found documents which are believed to have been written by a small Jewish sectarian group, called the Essenes, retraces different elements of the Old Testament and New Testament similar to the Dead Sea Scrolls, but scholars have turned their attention to a peculiar fragment which describes the birth of the Christ figure in a new light. The manuscripts that have been dated between 408 BCE to 318 CE shed a new light on the physical appearance of Jesus Christ, admits professor Hans Schummer of the University of Tel Aviv “It is quite revealing that the unknown author of the document notes with a certain sense of surprise that the infant’s skin tone is darker in colo

A binary black hole found in the center of  Markarian 231 Using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, a team of astronomers discovered that Markarian 231 is powered by two central black holes furiously whirling about each other. Markarian 231 is the nearest galaxy to Earth that hosts a quasar, located 581 million light-years away. The finding suggests that quasars—the brilliant cores of active galaxies – may commonly host two central supermassive black holes, which fall into orbit about one another as a result of the merger between two galaxies. Like a pair of whirling skaters, the black-hole duo generates tremendous amounts of energy that makes the core of the host galaxy outshine the glow of its population of billions of stars, which scientists then identify as quasars.

Police in Austria say the bodies of 71 people, thought to be migrants, were found in an abandoned lorry found on a motorway on Thursday (Aug.27). The bodies of 59 men, 8 women and four children are thought to have been dead for one-and-a-half to two days. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-34083337 The incident occurred during the First Quarter Moon , a chart for which is shown here.  The Sun -Jupiter combination makes hard aspects to Uranus-Pluto on the angles. A key phrase from Martha Wescott is: Uranus-Pluto-Jupiter: To feel restless in response to a cauldron of feelings that cry out for change or excitement. The Sun -Jupiter combination is also opposite Neptune and square Moon-Saturn.   Saturn  acting on Jupiter – Neptune  combination is a reality check (Saturn) on unrealistic dreams (Neptune) of expansion or journeys to foreign lands (Jupiter).  Here Jupiter , ruler of the 9 th (foreign lands) placed in the 6 th house (working class) is op

A rash of fatalities from Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) has been reported in Saudi Arabia, where 19 people have died after contracting the disease this week alone. Including the recent spate, the kingdom’s Health Ministry has recorded 502 fatalities and 1,171 reported cases since June 2012 when the virus first appeared, reports Agence France-Presse. The surge in infections comes as Saudi Arabia prepares to host about 2 million Muslims who will travel to the country for the annual hajj pilgrimage next month. Aug. 27 http://time.com/4014376/saudi-arabia-mers-fatalities/ In the last several posts we have seen one manifestation of Jupiter-Neptune as “ponzi schemes” in which masses are deceived.   Here we will see another way this combination manifests as “respiratory diseases”. Jupiter-Neptune: Respiratory illness and allergies [1] We often think of Neptune as the lord of the sea and therefore ruling water. But if we remember that Neptune also rules the sens

The economy is collapsing and the stock market is crashing... again. Is this crash the big one, or is it just another hiccup on the slow road to certain doom? Should we stampede, or should we continue to graze? For those who've shouldered the responsibility of understanding how our government and economy truly work, this new, latest economic collapse, is not in any way unexpected, but rather a predictable certainty in a long train of abuses by government and Wall Street. You see, the economic system is designed to fail. Collapse is in its DNA.  At its core, our fiat-based, reserve-currency, derivates-driven, interest rate-manipulated economy is a criminal enterprise that is explicitly designed to fail at offering human kind an equitable, just and common-sensical way to facilitate exchange. However, it is very well designed to transfer wealth from the middle class to the wealthiest of the world's elite in crisis after financial crisis until the whole thing collapses. It is en

A pack of wolves has been spotted in Northern California for the first time in nearly 100 years. The appearance of the five grey wolf pups and two adults could signal a return of the animals, which have not been found in the state since 1924. California Department of Fish and Wildlife first discovered the pack this month in Siskiyou County near the Oregon border using a remote camera. The wolves have been named the "Shasta Pack" after a nearby mountain. "This news is exciting for California," Charlton Bonham of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife said on Thursday. "We knew wolves would eventually return home to the state and it appears now is the time."

Jerry Ashton and Craig Antico spent decades hounding debtors to pay their bills—until an offshoot of Occupy Wall Street inspired them to find a way to pay struggling people's debts. When Paola Gonzalez received a phone call from RIP Medical Debt, she was certain what she heard was a mistake. A prank, maybe. The caller said a $950 hospital bill had been paid for in full: It would not affect her credit and she wouldn't have to worry about it again. "They wanted to pay a bill for me," she said. "I was just speechless." The 24-year-old student from Roselle Park, New Jersey, has lupus, a chronic autoimmune disease that in 2011 put her in and out of hospitals for a year. Even with insurance she faces a barrage of medical bills that often get pushed aside. "I can't always work," Gonzalez said. "I'll be fine today and sick tomorrow. It's really amazing that people would help out like this. Aug. 17 http://goo.gl/Yr0tau

Having seen the nation’s benchmark Shanghai Composite stock index get slammed by 4.21% on Friday (Aug.21), taking its weekly loss to 11.54%, Chinese authorities wheeled out their latest attempt to underpin shaky investor confidence over the weekend, announcing that China’s giant pension fund will be able to increase its allocation in domestic shares to as much as 30%. http://goo.gl/W9YV2s  Years of bailouts and monetary expansion have created one of the most inflated and artificial economic booms in history, and now it appears that this global economic bubble is deflating. Markets across the board are melting down and the financial crash that supposedly “fringe” analysts have been predicting since 2008, is finally upon us. In this post we will look at why Shanghai became the epicenter of the global market carnage. Shown here is the chart for Saturn station direct drawn for Shanghai. Notice that Saturn is placed on the Ascendant as the apex of a T-square that

SAVANNAH, Ga. –  The armored skeleton of a Confederate warship that spent 150 years at the bottom of the Savanah River in Georgia is being raised to the surface one 5-ton chunk at a time. Navy divers began work midweek retrieving an estimated 250,000 pounds of armored siding from the wreckage of the CSS Georgia. Confederate troops scuttled the ironclad gunship in December 1864 to prevent its capture by Union troops taking Savannah. Navy Chief Warrant Officer 3 Jason Potts says his crew began Wednesday breaking down three large sections of armored siding into 20 smaller chunks and raising them to the surface. The team has already recovered four cannons, the ship's propeller and other artifacts. The CSS Georgia is being recovered as part of a $703 million deepening of the Savannah harbor.

An extremely large sinkhole in Lynn, Massachusetts, has tied up traffic for the Friday afternoon and evening commutes. The sinkhole is located at Shepard and South Common Streets. It is about 12 feet in diameter. The problems are mounting after a sewer line broke Friday afternoon. Crews on the scene Friday night were working to shut off the water. The concern is if the water line breaks, and it’s already leaking, it could cause a gas main to rupture, which could then lead to an explosion.

Ship in Storm by Buttersworth A message in a bottle thrown into the sea 108 years ago by British scientists has been discovered washed up on a beach in Germany.It is believed to be the oldest message-in-a-bottle ever found. Marianne Winkler, a retired post office worker, found the message from the past while on holiday with her husband on the North Sea island of Amrum.Mrs Winkler found the bottle in April, but was shy of publicity and the full story has only now emerged.  "It's always a joy when some one finds a message-in-a-bottle on the beach," she told the Amrum News, a local website."Where does it come from, who wrote it, and how long has it been travelling on the winds, waves and currents?"But when Mrs Winkler stumbled on her message-in-a-bottle, she had no idea quite how old it would turn out to be. Written on a piece of paper inside were the words "Break the bottle"."My husband, Horst, carefully tried to get the message out of

The tiny African state of Djibouti has reportedly ordered the US to vacate its secondary Obock military base in the nation in a bid to turn over the installation to the Chinese military and its contingent of 10,000 troops, raising major concerns in Washington, which holds the largest military base in Djibouti, Camp Lemonnier.
