More than 380 people have been confirmed dead after a tsunami triggered by a magnitude 7.5 earthquake hit an Indonesian city on Friday. Waves up to 3m (10ft) high swept through Palu on Sulawesi island. Video on social media shows people screaming and fleeing in panic and a mosque among the buildings damaged. Strong aftershocks rocked the city on Saturday. Thousands of homes have collapsed, along with hospitals, hotels and a shopping centre. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-45683630 H.S. Green’s book on Mundane Astrology written around WWI is still considered a bible of sorts amongst astrologers. In the chapter on “Earthquakes”, he writes: Earthquakes are found to be associated with eclipses and important planetary conjunctions and oppositions. An eclipse is always liable to cause seismic disturbances where it is visible, especially if it falls very close to the line of horizon i.e. the cusps of the first and seventh houses, or of the meridian i.e. the cusps of the tenth

Symbolic   interpretation   of planetary combinations in a mundane chart   are meaningful because they ultimately reflect an inner field of consciousness with its own laws and principles of meaning.   Here we look at the current lunar return chart for the US Sibly. Notice the Grand Cross on the angles.   Venus in Scorpio   reflects a desire for revenge in a relationship while the Venus-Mars square is indicating   that the vindictiveness could be in   connection with a sexual encounter. During   the confirmation hearing of Judge Kavanaugh, the media reported that on September 16, 2018, Christine Blasey Ford, a professor at Palo Alto University, said Kavanaugh had sexually assaulted her when she was 15 and he was a 17-year old high school student. In a completely unrelated news it is being reported that the US military has suffered the first crash in its hugely expensive F-35 fighter jet programme.   The Mars square Uranus in the lunar return indicates an accid

Judge Brett Kavanaugh's hearing before the US Senate Thursday won praise from US President Donald Trump, who called the Supreme Court nominee's testimony regarding allegations of sexual assault "powerful, honest and riveting." The Senate Judiciary Committee will vote on Friday morning to advance the nominee. https://sptnkne.ws/jCPv The September 9, 2018 New Moon lies under the auspices of Mizar of the Great Bear. Additional conjoining stars include Chara and La Superba of Canes Venatici – the barking hounds. Mizar and associated entries can also produce a lot of dramatic racket and fiery commotion due to toxic conditions or an unrefined awareness. This can also be a part of the often diversionary tactics intended to distract the unsuspecting from the real issues or path at hand, a theme common to late Leo. Thus discernment is essential. Nick Fiorenza Brett   Kavanaugh’s noon   horoscope is shown here. The Sep. 9 New Moon occurred right o

The British government "expressed grave concerns" to the US government over the declassification and release of material related to the Trump-Russia investigation, according to the New York Times. President Trump ordered a wide swath of materials "immediately" declassified "without redaction" on Monday, only to change his mind later in the week by allowing the DOJ Inspector General to review the materials first.   https://russia-insider.com/en/uk-begged-trump-not-declassify-russia-docs-cited-grave-concerns-over-steele-involvement/ri24858 The Full Moon of   September 25 conjoins Diphda and Iota (ι) of Cetus, and also Salm and Alkarab of Pegasus. Beta (β) Cetus, Deneb Kaitos [1]or Diphda is a star in the tail of the Whale, or Sea Monster. Diphda creates a strong emotional turbulence, bringing the potential to get knocked down and thrashed around due to the inability to lift one's self above the dramatics of the intense psycho-emo

The Tory press is apoplectic in their fear of public utilities and the railways being taken back into state ownership and the consequent loss of huge dividend payments to already wealthy investors. Labour’s shadow chancellor, John McDonnell, in his speech at the Labour Party conference in Liverpool detailed plans to renationalise the water companies and sack their current executives before re-advertising their jobs with dramatically reduced salaries. Sources within the Labour Party confirmed that such action would apply to all utility sectors taken back into public ownership and that the huge dividends currently paid out to private and other shareholders would instead be reinvested in the companies themselves. There is little doubt that the electorate as a whole is sickened by the profiteering of the water, power and electricity companies since privatisation that has seen utilities bills double and treble since being sold to the private sector in a move that has made bi

A year ago music student Jessica Hurst, 25, was told her father had died at the age of 56. Then came the discovery that he had killed himself after getting into debt. As she explains here, it had begun as a relatively small debt for unpaid council tax - but it multiplied many times after the council had him declared bankrupt. Sadly, suicide rates for men over 50 are increasing. This is a generation that doesn't always find it easy to talk about problems. People should be aware of this, and try to talk to them instead. If not, this will happen again. And no young person should be left without their father because of a few thousand pounds of debt.

Entire north, central and large parts of south Kolkata went dry on Saturday afternoon as the Kolkata Municipal Corporation water supply department engineers struggled to repair a leak in a 72” underground pipeline considered to be the lifeline of the city’s water supply system. Sep.22 https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kolkata/kolkata-goes-thirsty-on-saturday-as-kmc-repairs-leakage-in-underground-pipeline/articleshow/65913772.cms This is not some big international news which I normally focus upon in my blogs. The only reason for including it here is to illustrate some important mundane astrology principles. Let us look at chart for the current   New Moon at Kolkata (Calcutta). Notice that it is placed on the 4 th house cusp (IC) opposite Neptune on the MC and makes hard aspects to the Mars-Uranus square.   When Mars, the planet   associated with mechanical equipments squares Uranus a planet associated with upsets and disruptions, it is not surprising

Gunmen have opened fire on an Iranian military parade in the south-western city of Ahvaz, killing at least 24 people, including civilians, and injuring more than 50, state media say. The attackers shot from a park near the parade and were wearing military uniforms, reports say. An anti-government Arab group, Ahvaz National Resistance, claimed the attack. The foreign minister has blamed "terrorists paid by a foreign regime". Iran is marking the anniversary of the beginning of the 1980-88 war with Iraq with several military parades across the nation.Fars news agency said the attack started at 09:00 local time (06:30 BST), lasted about 10 minutes, and appeared to involve four gunmen.

A new theory has emerged in the case of whether Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted accuser Christine Blasey Ford roughly 35 years ago; it was Kavanaugh's high school look-alike, whose high school house better fits Ford's description, and who kept in touch with the other guy allegedly in the room, Mark Judge.

The chart for the solar eclipse of July 12 at Washington, DC can help explain the news.   Notice that the eclipse falls in the 5 th house and makes hard aspects to the horizon axis as well as to Venus-Pluto. Venus-Pluto hard aspects have been related to the story of Persephone (Venus) and her abduction by Hades (Pluto)   and therefore to sexual violence and rape. [1] [2] Moreover   the eclipse   is conjunct the star Castor of the

Judge Brett Kavanaugh on Friday moved a step closer to being seated on the Supreme Court, as four days of chaotic and tumultuous hearings wrapped with Kavanaugh largely having swatted away Democratic attempts to derail his nomination. Democrats spent the week trying to catch Kavanaugh in a lie and employ old emails to cast him as a radical conservative. But Republicans say they believe Democrats failed to land a fatal blow. Meanwhile, members of an American Bar Association committee gave Kavanaugh their highest rating of "well qualified" based on his integrity, competence and judicial temperament. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/09/07/kavanaugh-avoids-dem-traps-as-chaotic-hearing-winds-down-confirmation-vote-looms.html President Donald Trump nominated Judge Brett Kavanaugh to become an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.   Kavanaugh's confirmation hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee began on September 4 and lasted four

A Russian military aircraft went off radar near Hmeymim Airbase on Monday, which coincided with Israeli strikes on Syrian targets in Latakia. On Tuesday, the Russian MoD stated that the plane was downed by Syrian air defenses after Israeli jets used it as cover. Sep. 18 https://sptnkne.ws/j8GV   A planetary aspect like the current Mars-Uranus square can become very significant for a place if it is brought to the angles in a lunation chart. A chart for the First Square Moon phase of Sep. 17   at Damascus, Syria (much the same at Tel Aviv, Israel)   is shown here.   Notice that the Mars-Uranus square straddles the horizon axis.

Residents in three communities north of Boston were asked to evacuate their homes following dozens of explosions and fires following problems with the natural gas system which the local authorities described as a "gas main meltdown." Emergency crews responded to at least 70 addresses for fires, explosions or the investigation of gas odor.

Event charts cast for the precise times of solar ingresses, lunations and eclipses are said to be some of the most basic tools an astrologer has for predictive astrology. Lunation refers to either the New Moon (Sun-Moon conjunction) or the Full Moon (Sun-Moon opposition).   A   chart for a mundane event becomes very significant for a p

Devotees at Sri Anjaneya Swamy Devasthanam in Kondagattu Pisces is an era of storms and of wholesale disintegration. But Piscean winds of destiny may impel men of vision and courage to discover many a "new world," as much as they do destroy or suffocate the many who stubbornly resist change. Pisces is an era of often sharp and violent repolarization. It is an era of purgation and cleansing. Man   must learn to stand alone and to rely only upon his own inner Voice. Transcendence, overcoming, piercing through illusions and false security, severance of social ties, embarking for the great adventure with utter faith and in denuded simplicity of being: all these things are to be learned in Pisces. Man is here face to face with himself, and with that Greater Self which he names: God. He can refuse such a confrontation. He can cling to oppressive and decadent cities. He can bundle up with refugees and moan forever before the Wailing Walls provided by dying religions and blo

Tropical Storm Florence was expected to strengthen back into a hurricane by Saturday night, as forecasters warned that the storm would bring life-threatening rip currents to the U.S. East Coast before possibly making landfall next week. Florence’s precise path remained uncertain on Saturday, but the NHC said the “risk of direct impact” somewhere between Florida and North Carolina was increasing.   Sep.8 https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/florence-hurricane-east-coast_us_5b940ad1e4b0cf7b0040536e New Moons and Full Moons can have a dramatic affect on the weather especially in those places where they make hard aspects to the angles.

He was god of the Sea and other waters. When angry, Poseidon would send hurricanes and

Two US jets have bombed a town in the Syrian Deir Ez-Zor province with white phosphorus munitions, causing massive fires, Russian military has said. Two F-15 jets on Saturday bombed the town of Hajin with white phosphorus incendiary munitions, banned under the Geneva Convention, according to the Russian Center for Reconciliation in Syria.   “Following the strikes, large fires were observed in the area,” Lieutenant-General Vladimir Savchenko said Sunday. There’s still no information on casualties caused by the bombing run, he added.   https://www.rt.com/news/438008-us-strikes-syria-white-phosphorus/ The New Moon of Sep. 9 is conjunct the star Mizar and   makes a hard aspect to Mars on the MC at Deir Ez-Zor . Zeta (ζ) Ursa Major, Mizar, is a double star, possibly binary, brilliant white and pale emerald on the Tail of the Great Bear. Supposedly, Mizar portends a Mars nature. The reputation of Mizar, if it is in maximal position in a mundane map, is that of being

The US Open women’s final was marred by shocking scenes as Serena Williams clashed with the match umpire, branding him a “thief” and a “liar” as the American suffered defeat against Japan’s Naomi Osaka. Osaka, 20, became Japan’s first-ever Grand Slam singles winner, beating Williams 6-2, 6-4 at Flushing Meadows – although much of the attention was focused on an extraordinary clash between Williams and umpire Carlos Ramos. The Portuguese official handed Williams code violations for receiving coaching from the stands and smashing her racket, sparking anger from the US star which culminated in a scathing attack on Ramos at the changeover while 4-3 down in the second set. "You are a liar. You will never be on a court of mine as long as you live. When are you going to give me my apology? Say you are sorry," Williams, 36, shouted at Ramos. https://www.rt.com/sport/437986-serena-williams-umpire-osaka-us-open/ Horoscopes can be very revealing. An ugly incident li
