A search is under way for the founder and owner of popular Indian chain Cafe Coffee Day, who has gone missing in the southern city of Mangalore, police say. VG Siddhartha had been in his car on the outskirts of Mangalore when he asked his driver to stop his car at a spot close to the Netravati river. July 30   https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-49160816 V. G. Siddhartha went missing after a letter from him addressing to the board of directors and staff was made public in which he announces the company has not been able to create a profitable business model and he took the responsibility for it. The company was being investigated for tax evasion. A simple astrological explanation can be found in the chart for the current solar eclipse drawn   for Mangalore.   Notice that the eclipse falls very significantly on the IC. It is conjunct the TNPs Kronos-Hades and opposite Saturn-Pluto on the MC.   Martha Wescott provides the following interpretation: Kronos-Hades-

A multination project to build a fusion reactor cleared a milestone yesterday and is now 6 ½ years away from “First Plasma,” officials announced. Yesterday, dignitaries attended a components handover ceremony at the construction site of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor in southern France. The ITER project is an experiment aimed at reaching the next stage in the evolution of nuclear energy as a means of generating emissions-free electricity. July 29 https://bit.ly/2yl3Ew9 In astrology Pluto is associated with power lying hidden deep inside the earth (visible as in a volcanic eruption)   or for that matter deep inside the atom (nuclear energy). Nuclear energy is another name for atomic energy. It's the energy released from the inner core or nucleus of the atom and during the 1950s it was harnessed to generate electricity.  As Pluto transits Capricorn  we are learning  how to revolutionize our contemporary lifestyles by launching the movement away from o

Phaethon NEW DELHI — India’s auto parts industry could be forced to slash a fifth of its 5 million or so workforce if the slowdown in vehicle sales continues, the president of the country’s largest industry group for auto parts makers said. India’s auto industry is in the middle of one of its worst slumps. Passenger vehicle sales fell 18.4% in the first quarter, and monthly passenger vehicle sales in June fell by the biggest margin in 18 years.  July 26 https://bit.ly/2Oo1FC9 New car sales have been slumping in many of the world's major auto markets. In China, sales were down more than 12 percent in the first six months of the year. In the United States, after many years of strong sales, many consumers are driving vehicles that don't need to be replaced.  Jul 23 NYTimes It may surprise readers that the reason for the slump in the auto industry in general and more specifically for India can be seen in the chart for the current solar eclipse of July 2.

The thumping victory by the Ukraine President Vladimir Zelensky’s Servant of the People party, securing an absolute majority of 253 seats in the 450 member parliament, can be viewed as a tectonic shift in the geopolitical landscape of Eurasia. The next big party in the parliament will be the pro-Russia Platform – For Life, which secured 44 seats. The stunning rout of the pro-western forces symbolised by former President Poroshenko’s Solidarity party (24 seats). https://orientalreview.org/2019/07/24/ukraine-on-the-cusp-of-change/ In this post we examine the horoscope of Ukraine[1]   to understand the reasons behind the new developments. The most prominent alignment in this map is the conjunction of Uranus-Neptune-Node on the Ascendant and Pluto on the MC. In late 2013, (just prior to the Ukranian revolution of 2014)   transit Pluto reached a conjunction to Uranus triggering the Uranus-Neptune-Node combination.   The Ukrainian revolution of 2014   in February 2014, was

A previous post entitled The horoscope of the Democratic Party [1] is the basis for what follows. The most important astrological progression in a chart is always that of the Sun and when it makes a hard aspect to any radix planet, it contains a clue to the central theme governing the period. Currently, the most important progressionin the Democratic Party chart   is solar arc Sun conjunct radix Uranus opposite TNP Vulcanus square the horizon axis . Martha Wescott delineates Uranus-Vulcanus as below: To be aware of gale-force winds of change in the larger context of a societal/political “rebellion,” movement or shift; to recognize that disruptions are impelled by unseen forces or energies. This statement seems to get the heart of the matter. The Democratic Party is consciously or unconsciously  foisting a political “rebellion” on the American people. The thinking behind this “rebellion” can be  fleshed from the stars that conjoin radix Uranus. These are Zani

Robert Mueller's dual Wednesday testimonies were, by most accounts, a total disaster for Democrats hoping to bolster the case for impeaching President Trump. Not only were there no smoking guns, Mueller's stumbling, fumbling, confused performance alone was a massive backfire for Democrats looking to spotlight the former FBI Director - whose 'stellar reputation' as a career public servant melted away to reveal a befuddled old man who was clearly unfamiliar with his own report.  Jul.24 https://bit.ly/2Y3uEiN In a previous post Jupiter-Neptune: Failure following over extension , [1] dt. June 24, 2019,   I wrote: 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.

A new study has determined that families living near oil and gas fields have a 40 to 70% higher probability of having their children develop congenital heart defects (CHDs) compared to those living at greater distances, reported CU Anschutz Today. https://bit.ly/2Ma8SCQ Eclipses support humanity’s evolutionary progression in consciousness. The subtle messages they carry can be deciphered from the planetary configurations occurring at the time of the eclipse. Presented here is the chart for the lunar eclipse of July 16 drawn for Colorado City where the study mentioned in the news was carried out. Although the eclipse axis makes minor aspects to the meridian, these aspects are very sharp implying that it is significantly affecting the place.   But what draws our attention is the T-square with the TNP Zeus at the apex making a quincunx aspect to Neptune in the 5 th house. The 5 th house rules children [1] while Neptune is linked to “oils and gases”[2]. Table I [5] shows Nept

It refers to an invisible agent or force dominating the characteristics of a given epoch in world history. A "zeitgeist theory of leadership" stresses that leaders do not become leaders by fate or accident. Instead, these individuals, like other things, are   a product of the "zeitgeist".

A new documentary film by Max van der Werff, the leading independent investigator of the Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 disaster, has revealed breakthrough evidence of tampering and forging of prosecution materials; suppression of Ukrainian Air Force radar tapes; and lying by the Dutch, Ukrainian, US and Australian governments. An attempt by agents of the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to take possession of the black boxes of the downed aircraft is also revealed by a Malaysian National Security Council official for the first time. https://bit.ly/2XZnKv1 The new MH17 documentary has been released on July 17 to coincide with the 5 th anniversary of the crash. This was also the day of the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse that aligned perfectly with Pluto on   the meridian at Hrabove, Ukraine, the site of the crash. It is at places where eclipses align with the angles that their message is most significantly felt.  Pluto is a freeing and opening force; a pattern disru

In his excellent article The Horoscope of the Federal Reserve [1], Bill Meridian wrote: On December 23, 1913 at 6:02 P.M., President Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Act into law (Chart 1 A at left). The time is well documented in many encyclopedias because it was one of the first live radio broadcasts from the White House. Historical accounts report that Wilson said that he was affixing his signature to the Act at the designated time. The Fed's horoscope is dominated by three major axes or groupings: 1)             Mars and Neptune rising opposite Jupiter. 2)             The Sun opposite Pluto, both squaring the zero Aries Midheaven. 3)             The Moon in mutual reception with Pluto, the former ruling the Ascendant and the latter the fifth house. The first grouping is descriptive of the Fed's tendency to inflate the currency. How could any entity with a hard Mars-Jupiter-Neptune aspect be expected to exercise restraint and maintain a sta

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has seized the British oil tanker Stena Impero in the Strait of Hormuz, Iranian media reported. UK authorities said the tanker had ‘veered off course’ before capture. The Stena Impero was headed to Saudi Arabia but left the international sea lanes and headed north towards the Iranian island of Qeshm, marine tracking data showed on Friday. July 20, 2019 https://www.rt.com/news/464594-iran-confiscates-british-tanker/ Tensions between the UK and Iran flared up earlier this month when Royal Marines seized an Iranian tanker which was suspected of breaking EU sanctions. The UK suspected Grace 1, detained on 4 July near Gibraltar, was carrying oil bound for Syria. The seizure was against international law. In response to the seizure, Iran threatened to seize a British oil tanker. On 9 July, the UK raised the threat to British shipping in Iranian waters in the Gulf to "critical" - the highest level.   Yesterday, the IRGC made goo

The Abduction of Ganymede , by Eustache Le Sueur A federal judge in Manhattan has ordered that multimillionaire Jeffrey Epstein remain confined while he awaits trial on federal sex trafficking charges. U.S. District Judge Richard M. Berman announced his decision that the 66-year-old financier be held without bail on Thursday, following a hearing Monday in which Epstein's lawyer asked that his client be placed on house arrest with round-the-clock private security guards paid for by Epstein. Jul.18 https://n.pr/32CsVzR Lay readers will have a difficult time believing that the US horoscope – the Sibly, that is more than 240 years old can still faithfully reveal the nature of events taking place now. Astrologers plot what is referred to as the monthly Lunar Return Chart to gauge the star patterns affecting an individual or entity in the now. Take a look at the July Lunar Return for the US Sibly. As always configurations that align with the angles (horizon or meridian) are
