The Osaka G20 summit, one of the largest gatherings of world leaders outside the United Nations General Assembly, will bring together over 30 presidents, prime ministers and heads of international organizations for two days of talks on Friday and Saturday. Some 30,000 participants are expected for the G20 — the first to be held in Japan. In addition, all eyes will be on key bilateral meetings to be held during the summit. Drawing the most attention will be the one between U.S. President Donald Trump, who has formally announced his re-election bid, and Chinese leader Xi Jinping, who paid a visit to North Korea last week, as the world’s two largest economies seek to resolve a festering trade war. https://bit.ly/2ZTVR48 The 2019 G20 summit is being held on 28–29 June 2019 at   Osaka.   Here is an extract from a previous post [1] with the relevant Cancer ingress charts drawn for Osaka.

There’s a solar eclipse on July 2, at 10°38’ Cancer. Whenever the Moon overshadows the Sun, previously hidden emotions as well as previously undisclosed information comes to light. There is usually a three month span in either direction—before or after the actual event—during which we feel the eclipse effect. For the record, this eclipse happens within 2°19’ of the US Sibly Sun and 1°46’ of Mr. Trump’s Mercury, which means it’s close enough not only to affect the US horoscope but also the President’s   state of mind, thus revealing additional hidden personal information.   More specifically   the eclipse makes hard aspects to the following mid-points in the Sibly. Had/Vus: 10°05'                Sat/Zeu: 10°23'         Nep/Had: 11°36' Martha Wescott in her book, The Orders of Light provides the meaning of the midpoints as under: Saturn-Zeus: to encounter obstacles that require the control of enthusiasm; to have limitations or consequences through

The top US diplomat has landed in New Delhi, aiming to pressure the Indian government into rejecting Russian S-400 air defense systems and China’s Huawei mobile tech in favor of “better” military and trade deals with Washington. Expanding cooperation in energy, aviation, space, and defense fields will top Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's agenda during his three-day visit to India, the State Department said just as their boss landed in New Delhi on Tuesday evening. Pompeo is expected to pressure India into compliance on a number of issues, including the S-400 missile defense deal with Russia, the purchase of Iranian and Venezuelan crude oil, and limiting Huawei's access to the massive South Asian market that Washington is now keen to capture. https://www.rt.com/news/462683-pompeo-india-trade-diplomacy/ Synastry is the art of relationship Astrology.

Deneb Kaitos : Thrashing tail of the monster Iran averted all-out war in the Middle East at the last moment when the Central command and control operational room of its Army and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) ordered not to shoot down a US Navy anti-submarine warfare, Intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance Poseidon P-8 . Unusually, there are 38 on board the P-8 aircraft which requires a crew of 9. There were a minimum of 6-8 officers on board (2-3 Col, 3-4 Lt) and the remaining crew likely held grades under Lieutenant. The plane was flying within range of Iranian missiles over Iranian waters when Iran’s central command and control received confirmation that the US would not go to war or hit any target in Iran. https://bit.ly/2Y9qIck   Expansive Jupiter and delusional Neptune, two of the most idealistic and no-limits planets,   lock into three tension-fueled squares (90-degree angles) in 2019.

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced Sunday he was traveling to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates for talks on Iran.

In a nation’s chart the 1 – 7 axis (horizon) is all about its relationship with its allies (7 th house).   Moreover, Saudi Arabia’s current solar arc Moon [24cn] is opposite radix Sun [24cp]. Eclipses tend to bring about endings and new beginnings.

The tenth international meeting on security has just concluded in the Russian the city of Ufa. The forum has been under-reported, but it represents one of the few global examples of multilateral meetings between high-level representatives of countries that are in conflict. Hundreds of representatives from as many as 120 countries attended the meeting over three days to discuss humanitarian crises, hybrid warfare, terrorist threats and ways to recover from armed conflict. A war against Iran is a red line for virtually all forum participants. The fact that the US is represented at the forum at a time of elevated tensions with Iran, especially after having not attended for the previous four years, is a good signal from the Trump administration that it is willing to open dialogue with Iran despite the risk of continued provocations or intentional accidents between the two countries.   June 22 https://bit.ly/2x6b4T5 The elements of a horoscope are symbols.

Tensions between the US and Iran flared on Thursday when the Iranian Revolutionary Guard shot down an American drone that was said to have flown into Iranian airspace (the US claims the drone flew over international territory).

Apollo - God of Sun, light, knowledge & healing Roger Stone is requesting proof that Russians hacked the DNC server, as was reported in the Mueller report. Stone claims if the Russians didn’t hack the DNC, his case should be dismissed. As we’ve pointed out…. the entire fake Russia collusion narrative was based on the fairy tale that Russia hacked the DNC and then provided emails they stole to WikiLeaks.   Roger Stone is out to prove that this narrative is a total fabrication. We reported on May 11, 2019, that Roger Stone and his legal team requested the report from Crowdstrike, the firm connected with the Deep State who reportedly did inspect the DNC server after emails were released by WikiLeaks. This report was used by the FBI and the Mueller gang as support that the DNC was hacked by Russia. Stone’s position is that if the Mueller team and the FBI did not inspect the DNC server, then how can they know that the server was hacked. This logical argument makes sense.   htt

Nothing says ‘Happy Father’s Day’ to the men and women who work at Deutsche Bank in the U.S. like finding out today that they or their loved ones might soon be out of a job. According to the Financial Times “Deutsche’s equity and rates trading businesses outside continental Europe will be severely shrunk or closed entirely as part of the revamp.”  Because Deutsche Bank is a significant derivatives and securities trader in the U.S., this shrinkage or closure will hurt U.S. residents employed by the perennially troubled German bank.  According to the FT, Deutsche Bank CEO Christian Sewing, "is likely to announce the changes with the bank’s half-year results in late-July.”  https://bit.ly/2x0M6Vl Deutsche Bank AG  is a German multinational investment bank and financial services company headquartered in Frankfurt, Germany.

If a dog has eyes that seem to be telling you something or demanding your attention, it could be evolution's way of manipulating your feelings. Researchers have found that dogs have evolved muscles around their eyes, which allow them to make expressions that particularly appeal to humans. A small facial muscle allows dog eyes to mimic an "infant-like" expression which prompts a "nurturing response". The study says such "puppy eyes" helped domesticated dogs to bond with humans.
