Hebe – cupbearer to the gods President Trump reportedly told a group of reporters Friday afternoon before leaving for Camp David that he had fired his former secretary and Oval Office 'gatekeeper', Madeleine Westerhout, because she had made inappropriate comments about his relationship with his daughters. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/trump-aide-and-oval-office-gatekeeper-fired-leaking The monthly rhythm of the Lunation Cycle (the cycle of relationship between the Sun and the Moon) is perhaps the most important planetary cycle. The ancients were well aware of this natural cycle, and planned and executed important activities according to its rhythm. While a New Moon is a worldwide event, its message is felt strongly at those places where it falls on the angles.    A chart for New Moon of August 30 drawn for Washington, DC has it placed exactly on the Ascendant making a hard aspect to Pluto in the 5 th house [1] which incidentally rules children.  

Two weeks ago we wrote that war on Yemen will soon end. The Saudis lost their ally, they lost the war and would have to sue for peace. They are now doing so. But they fighting in Yemen will continue until that country finds a new balance. Aug. 29 https://www.moonofalabama.org/2019/08/saudi-arabia-acknowledges-defeat-in-yemen-starts-to-sue-for-peace-.html#more The news bears out our “prediction” in a previous post [1]: The horoscope of Saudi Arabia as provided by Astro-databank is reproduced here. What strikes us immediately is that the upcoming Lunar Eclipse of July 17 falls exactly on the radix Sun[24cp] and the horizon axis. In a nation’s chart the 1 – 7 axis (horizon) is all about its relationship with its allies (7th house).   Moreover, Saudi Arabia’s current solar arc Moon [24cn] is opposite radix Sun [24cp]. Eclipses tend to bring about endings and new beginnings. Things become clearer when we add the TNPs. Notice that the Sun [24cn] on the Ascendant is

The prime minister's decision to suspend Parliament has prompted an angry backlash from MPs and opponents of a no-deal Brexit. It sparked protests across the country, a legal challenge and a petition with more than a million signatures. The government said the five-week suspension in September and October will still allow time to debate Brexit. But critics said it was an "undemocratic" attempt to stop MPs from blocking no deal. Aug.29 https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-49504526 With the current focus on Sun sign astrology, we have lost touch with the well established methods used by astrologers   to outline the nature of events/challenges that we face on a daily basis. One such method is the use of the annual solar return chart (birthday chart)   and its daily progressions. Regular readers will know that a planetary configuration becomes active when the progressed angles (horizon or meridian) come in contact with it. Here is Boris Johnson’s [1] solar r

The Virgin and the Raven BRASILIA (Reuters) - A Brazilian Supreme Court justice believes jailed ex-President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva deserves a retrial after leaked social media conversations appeared to show the judge hearing Brazil’s largest-ever corruption case collaborated with prosecutors. Aug. 27 https://in.reuters.com/article/brazil-politics-judge/brazil-supreme-court-judge-says-lula-deserves-retrial-idINKCN1VG23U In order to make the shift into the paradigms of the coming age, all unfinished business must be resurrected in order for it to be exposed and evolved. Saturn- Pluto’s transit through Capricorn is serving to draw back the curtain until the flaws, failings, and destructiveness of the system become so obvious, they can no longer be ignored. The horoscope of ex-President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva as provided by Astro-Databank [1]   is reproduced here. He was born at a New Moon with the Sun and Moon amid the stars of truth seeking Virgin and Corv

It used to be done regularly and it worked: The West identified a country as its enemy, unleashed its professional propaganda against it, then administered a series of sanctions, starving and murdering children, the elderly and other vulnerable groups. If the country did not collapse within months or just couple of years, the bombing would begin.  https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-08-26/suddenly-western-regime-changes-keep-failing Pluto in astrology acts as a force for creative destruction. This term, creative destruction, was coined by the Viennese economist, Joseph Schumpeter. Schumpeter described creative destruction as, a “process of…mutation that incessantly revolutionizes the….structure from within, incessantly destroying the old one, and incessantly creating a new one.” The chart of the USA (7/4/1776) has been   undergoing some major Plutonian transits. First   Pluto transit to the natal Sun in the US chart. Second the US Pluto return. The Sun is also the heart of a

Mohammed Zahur Khayyam Hashmi (18 February 1927 – 19 August 2019), better known mononymously as Khayyam, was an Indian music director and background score composer whose career spanned four decades. On his 89th birthday, Khayyam announced the formation of a charitable trust, Khayyam Jagjeet Kaur KPG Charitable Trust, and decided to donate his entire wealth to the trust to support budding artists and technicians in India. His wealth at the time of announcement was valued at around ₹ 10 crore (US$1.4 million). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammed_Zahur_Khayyam#Personal_life_and_death Eclipses tend to bring about endings and new beginnings. The areas that these changes can affect is a function of star alignments and other aspecting planets occurring at the time of the eclipse. Although eclipses effect the entire Earth, they are more influential in places where they fall on the angles or make hard aspects to them. The partial lunar eclipse of July 17 at Bombay (Mum

Rare photographs of the king of Thailand's newly anointed consort have been released by the palace, reportedly causing its website to crash. The images show Sineenat Wongvajirapakdi, 34, piloting a fighter jet, wearing combat fatigues and aiming a weapon on a firing range. A consort is a title given by a monarch to his or her spouse or companion. Aug. 27 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-49474422 Astrologer Adam Elenbaas [1]   writes:   Venus and Mars are conjunct in the sign of Virgo, though both are under the beams of the Sun, and Venus is in its fall.   We can watch for: * Marriage and sexuality (The news refers to the King’s marriage and sexuality) * Gender, gender-bending, gender blending (The King’s consort is also a fighter pilot) * Where gender and sex are lost, blurred, combined, or no longer * When our relationships come under scrutiny or public criticism (Rare photographs of the consort now in public domain) * Sexual inhibitions, dryness

As leaders of countries that control 40 percent of the world’s GDP gather at a French resort to discuss economic inequality and other issues they consider pressing, the rest of the world wonders if the G7 still has a purpose. https://www.rt.com/news/467179-g7-macron-amazon-crisis/ The 45th G7 summit is being held on August 24–26, 2019, in Biarritz, France.   In this post we shall see how the July 16 lunar eclipse describes the nature of the challenge being posed to the G7 nations. But first notice that the eclipse axis   makes hard aspects to the horizon at Biarritz. This means that it has a significant message for the place. But when do the heavens blare out the message? Well whenever the progressed angles align with the eclipse axis. Here is the eclipse chart progressed to Aug. 24 when the progressed meridian axis aligns with the eclipse….meaning that the heavens are trying to get the eclipse message across on approximately that day and the couple of days tha

     After rebuffing Donald J. Trump's hypothetical proposal to purchase Greenland, the government of Denmark has announced that it would be interested in buying the United States instead. "As we have stated, Greenland is not for sale," a spokesperson for the Danish government said on Friday. "We have noted, however, that during the Trump regime pretty much everything in the United States, including its government, has most definitely been for sale." https://www.sott.net/article/418700-Denmark-offers-to-buy-US In a previous post [1], I wrote: The chart of the USA (7/4/1776) also called the Sibly is undergoing a Pluto return i.e. Pluto returning to the position it occupied in the radix.   The Pluto Return is an extremely rare event. Since Pluto takes almost 250 years to complete one orbit around the Sun, no individual human being lives long enough to experience a Pluto Return. Not even close. Nations can, but few do. So, America’s Pluto

The   Brazil wildfires are now receiving international attention. Most of   the wildfires   have occurred in the Amazon region,   the world's largest rainforest, which is considered to be "vital to counter global warming". As of August 20, there are fires burning in the rainforest in four Brazilian states: Amazonas, Rondônia, Mato Grosso and Pará. Many events like this one can be related to the New Moon or Full Moon. Here is the chart for the current New Moon of August 1 at Brasilia, the capital of Brazil. Notice that it is placed very significantly on the lower meridian forming a square (90   degrees) aspect to Uranus on the Ascendant. Among events connected to the stars that conjoin the New Moon, Diana Rosenberg lists “fires”. Moreover, Uranus [6ta] on the Ascendant is among stars of Cepheus also called “inflammatus”.  Diana Rosenberg writes: There are devastating fires here – among them the Great Fire of Rome, 64 CE; the Charleston SC fire of 1838

What makes astrology supremely relevant is that it discloses an unsuspected dimension of the world we think we know so well. It is as though we have become accustomed to see only the horizontal yarn of the weaving, the weft, and are largely unaware of the warp. We are accustomed to break down our world, in order to understand it, into certain categories, recognizing what belongs to this category, what belongs to that. That is ‘scientific’. However, astrology is about learning to think in new categories. It embodies a system of new categories that are as different from the ones to which we are habituated, as the warp is from the weft. In this system objects and events that at first sight appear to have nothing whatever to do with each other are shown to be intimately connected. Conversely, things we naturally tend to associate may be distributed otherwise in the astrological scheme. Understanding the world around us depends on our power to perceive patterns of meaning, to make the ri

Putting to rest any remaining doubt of America's continued deep military involvement in the Yemen war, a US military drone was shot down outside the Yemeni capital of Sanaa on Tuesday night. After local footage of fiery wreckage falling from the night sky over Yemen appeared online, US officials confirmed to Reuters on Wednesday that it was authentic, and further it was the second such US drone shoot down in months. Aug. 21 https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-08-21/us-drone-downed-surface-air-missile-over-yemen The Yemeni Civil War is an ongoing conflict that began on 19 March 2015 between two factions: the Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi supported by the Saudis and the Houthi armed movement, along with their supporters and allies. Both claim to constitute the official government of Yemen. Houthi forces are currently controlling the capital Sanaʽa, allied with forces loyal to the former president Ali Abdullah Saleh, have clashed with the forces loyal to Hadi who are based in Aden.

The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) has entered Khan Sheikhoun after the militants withdrew from the northern sector of the city this morning. According to a military source in nearby Hama, the Syrian Arab Army entered the northern sector of the city after receiving the green light from their high command. The Syrian Army is now combing through the empty neighborhoods to secure the city and clear any explosives left behind by the jihadist rebels before they withdrew from Khan Sheikhoun. Aug. 20 https://www.almasdarnews.com/article/breaking-syrian-army-enters-khan-sheikhoun-to-secure-city/ The horoscope of Syria is based on the French transfer of power to the Syrian Government on Jan. 1, 1944; 00.00. AM EET (+00.00) [1]. Our attention is immediately drawn to the long drawn transit of Saturn   and Pluto opposite the Sun and conjunct the MC of the chart since 2013 roughly the period of the war when US and Saudi sponsored jihadists descended to create chaos in the country. Now with Sa

“Initiates of the Egyptian Mysteries were sometimes called scarabs; again, lions and panthers. The scarab was the emissary of the sun, symbolizing light, truth, and regeneration.” – Manly P. Hall The Immortal Egyptian Beetle Five years is a long time in politics. In 2014, relations between Russia and the West went into a nosedive over Ukraine and Syria. The “annexation” of Crimea, the shooting down of the Malaysian airliner, and the conflict in eastern Ukraine destroyed the partial re-establishment of normal relations which had started in 2008 with President Obama’s “re-set” and Nicolas Sarkozy’s rapprochement with Vladimir Putin. Vladimir Putin’s visit on Monday to the fort at Bregancon, the official summer residence of the French president, demonstrates that that period is now officially closed. On every level, the West has now abandoned its earlier hostility to Putin and Russia. https://www.rt.com/op-ed/466882-macron-putin-meeting-france/ Lunations (New

A waiter near Paris has been shot dead by a customer who was reportedly angry because his sandwich was not prepared quickly enough. Police say a murder investigation has been launched after the incident on Friday evening in the eastern suburb of Noisy-le-Grand. The suspect fled the scene and has not been caught. Aug. 18 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-49385132 Astrologers routinely cast horoscopes for exact planetary aspects. While the effect of these aspects are worldwide in scope, those places where significant configurations occupy the angles are the ones most affected. Shown here is the chart at Paris   for the Mercury square Uranus on Aug. 16, the very day of the incident.     Notice that a Mars-Saturn-Admetus configuration makes hard aspects to the Ascendant. In astrology, Mars represents how we need to pursue what we want in order to be effective.   Ideally, our Mars needs to be spending most of its time in a state of focused action to bring us closer to our

A bomb has exploded in a wedding hall in the Afghan capital, Kabul, and many casualties are feared. Witnesses told the BBC a suicide bomber detonated explosives during a wedding ceremony. Witnesses said they had seen bodies. The explosion happened at around 22:40 local time (18.10 GMT) in an area mostly populated by Shia Muslims. No group has said it carried out the attack, which happened in the west of the city. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-49383803 When   slow-moving planets, like the current Saturn-Pluto combination, form aspects the effects can be   deep and far-reaching because these planets interlock for a longer period of time, and their contacts are much less frequent. Moreover if an eclipse illuminates this combination, their effect is felt very strongly in those places where they aspect the angles. Shown here is the chart for the July 2 solar eclipse at Kabul which fell opposite Saturn-Pluto and formed a Grand Cross with the horizon axis. In his

It was dormant for more than 20 years, exhibiting very little fluctuations in light. Then one day, it woke up, baffling astronomers around the world. A supermassive black hole in the center of the Milky Way called Sagittarius A* has just started flashing 75 times brighter than it has ever been seen before, following a two-decade 'quiet' period, RT reports. UCLA Astronomer Tuan Do and his team observed the transformation of the black hole using the WM Keck Observatory in Hawaii over four nights. https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-08-15/supermassive-black-hole-wakes-starts-flashing-75-times-brighter-ever Astrologers believe that when our attention is drawn by a cosmic phenomena, the object involved has a special meaning for us. The following extracts from two renowned astrologers explains the significance of the Galactic Center: Our solar system spirals and pinwheels its way about the powerful center of the galaxy. The Sun maintains the same relationship to the Gal
