A 27-year-old French national was recently arrested in India for allegedly making a nude video shot at the popular hanging bridge "Lakshman Jhula" in Rishikesh, police officials said on Saturday. Police said they received a complaint last Tuesday from Ganjendra Sajwan, a resident and local politician, about the incident, following which the woman was arrested on Thursday. https://sptnkne.ws/D4uB Astrologers routinely cast charts for the ingress of a planet   into a new sign. Here is the chart for the Sun ’ s   entry into Virgo drawn for Rishikesh. Notice that   the Mars-Saturn-Pluto square aligns significantly with the horizon axis. Saturn represents social structures and institutions   as well as the restraining control of traditional authority to maintain the status quo. Saturn is conservative and cautious—the “order” side of law-and-order.   By contrast, Pluto represents total transformation, the urge for complete change that bubbles away in the collective

As the United States moves into the last weeks of climatological summer, one-third of the country is experiencing at least a moderate level of drought. According to the Drought Monitor, more than 93 percent of the land area in Utah, Colorado, Nevada, and New Mexico is in some level of drought; 69 percent of Utah is in severe drought, as is 61 percent of Colorado. More than three-fourths of Oregon, Arizona, and Wyoming are also in drought. The effects of “severe” drought include stunted and browning crops, limited pasture yields, dust storms, reduced well water levels, and an increase in the number and severity of wildfires. Most of those areas had no sign of drought in the mid-summer of 2019. https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/147118/a-third-of-the-us-faces-drought Weather prediction by astrometeorology is a highly refined area of sidereal science. Classical horoscopic weather prediction is based on forecasts of the influences of the planets in solstice or equinox

Japanese PM Shinzo Abe has announced his resignation for health reasons. He said he did not want his illness to get in the way of decision making, and apologised to the Japanese people for failing to complete his term in office. The 65-year-old has suffered for many years from ulcerative colitis, an inflammatory bowel disease, but he said his condition had worsened recently. Last year, he became Japan's longest serving prime minister. His current period in office began in 2012. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-53943758 The mundane horoscope of Japan as provided by Campion, in his  "The Book of World Horoscopes" [1] is reproduced here. There are two   significant transits in this chart. First   Uranus station retrograde on Aug. 15 right on top of the radix Sun square radix Pluto. Among other things the Sun in a national chart symbolizes the Prime Minister. For Ebertin Uranus-Pluto is “ the process of transformation - the collapse of the old order of th

The 2020 Belarusian protests are a series of political demonstrations against the Belarusian government and President Alexander Lukashenko. The demonstrations, which are part of the Belarusian democracy movement, began in the lead-up to and during the 2020 presidential election (9 August), in which Lukashenko sought a sixth term in office.. The protests intensified after 14 August when the opposition candidate Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya claimed that she had received 60–70% of the vote and announced the creation of the Coordination Council, with membership applications open to all Belarusians who agree that the election had been falsified. In mundane astrology, the affairs of a nation are judged primarily from the horoscope set up at the time of its official inauguration, and various phenomena such as eclipses, lunations, planetary stations and ingresses. The horoscope of Belarus [1]   based on its independence is reproduced here. The current solar arc progressed Sun [0li11] is

Mundane astrology, the study of heavenly cycles upon groups and nations is the most ancient branch of astrology. The affairs of a nation can be judged from the horoscope set up at the time of its official inauguration. The horoscopes of several nations are directly affected by the current Saturn-Pluto transit in Capricorn. Saturn represents social structures and institutions   as well as the restraining control of traditional authority to maintain the status quo. Saturn is conservative and cautious—the “order” side of law-and-order, By contr

     Prashant Bhushan. In the background is the Supreme Court A proceeding that is supposed to decide whether two tweets by lawyer Prashant Bhushan constitute contempt of the Supreme Court is turning into a serious legal quagmire for the apex court, partly because of its decision to revive an older case and partly because of aggressive legal moves by Bhushan’s advocates. The Supreme Court will pronounce on Friday its judgment in the contempt of court case initiated suo motu (on its own) against lawyer Prashant Bhushan for his tweets against the Supreme Court and Chief Justice of India, SA Bobde. A three-judge bench headed by justice Arun Mishra and also comprising justices BR Gavai and Krishna Murari will deliver its verdict at 11 am. August 14. The Supreme Court of India ( founded 28   Jan. 1950) is the premier judicial court under the Constitution of India. It is the highest constitutional court, and has the power of judicial review. Of late the supre

Many   events can be explained by what astrologers call the station point. This   term refers to the period when a planet slows down and stands relatively still before changing directions, and either starts going backward ("retrograde") or forward ("direct"). Think "station" as in stationary, in other words. Why is this important? Because in the process of slowing down and grinding to a seeming halt, the influence of that planet is dramatically amplified. Uranus stations retrograde once every year, spending just under half of the year retrograde; these retrogrades normally last five months. This time Uranus goes retrograde on Aug. 15, 2020 [1]. For readers interested in Vedic Astrology, Uranus is stationing in the Bharani Nakshatra. The symbolic meaning of this Nakshatra is “The power of renewal and purification. Rebirthing and transformation of spirit” [2].   On an individual level, those who have planets around 10 degrees of the fixed signs

Volcano erupting – heart ' s passion released Mount Sinabung in Indonesia erupted Monday, sending a column of volcanic ash more than 16,000 feet into the sky and dumped debris on nearby towns. Videos and photos have been posted on social media showing the volcano belching ash. Smaller rumblings started over the weekend, though the largest eruption was on Monday. July 10 The monthly rhythm of the Lunation Cycle (the cycle of relationship between the Sun and the Moon) is perhaps the most important planetary cycle. Astrologers routinely draw charts for the New Moon and the Full Moon to understand the energies operating at any place of interest. As always planetary configurations brought to the angles (horizon or meridian) are the ones to focus on. Here is the chart for the current New Moon of July 21 drawn for the co-ordinates of Mount Sinabung. Notice the New Moon opposite Saturn-Pluto axis is aligned with the meridian. Over the weekend transit Mars and Moon have trig

TEL AVIV   - About 5,000 people gathered in front of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's residence in Jerusalem on Saturday evening as anti-government protests in Israel entered the fifth consecutive weekend, police told Sputnik. Aug. 8 https://sptnkne.ws/Dq6T The horoscope of Israel has a Saturn-Pluto conjunction in the 10 th house which governs the Prime Minister or the head of the nation. Lunations (New or Full Moons) can affect a country dramatically when they fall on the on significant planets in its mundane horoscope. The Full Moon [12aq] of August 3  fell opposite Pluto [12le] activating the Saturn-Pluto  conjunction. Much like in Beirut, the Full Moon at Tel Aviv fell in the angles. In Beirut, the Full Moon square Uranus [11ta] caused a massive blast. In Tel Aviv  with transit Uranus beginning its square to the Saturn-Pluto conjunction in the Israel chart, we are hearing a “ blast ” of  a different kind. Noel Tyl delineates Uranus acting on Saturn-Pluto as: Brut

Stalactite – Mineral deposition from flowing water (CNN)The calcium in our bones and teeth likely came from stars exploding in supernovas and scattering this mineral across the universe in massive quantities, according to a new study. We truly are made of star stuff, as famed astronomer Carl Sagan once said. In fact, half of the calcium in the universe likely came from calcium-rich supernovae. But these explosions have turned out to be incredibly rare events that scientists have had difficulty observing and analyzing, so they weren't sure how the calcium was created. Aug. 5 https://cnn.it/2XEuY5n   In 1952 Swiss psychologist Carl Jung published Synchronicity: An Acausal Connecting Principle , one of the most controversial works of his career. In this book, Jung summarized decades of research on the subject of coincidence, concluding that such phenomena hold important secrets about the deeper nature of reality. The timing of “coincidences” seemed to arise in conjunc

Uranus in Taurus A large blast in the Lebanese capital, Beirut, has killed at least 70 people and injured more than 4,000 others, the health minister says. Videos show smoke billowing from a fire, then a mushroom cloud following the blast at the city's port. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-53656220 The monthly rhythm of the Lunation Cycle starting with the New 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 or a Full Moon   is a worldwide event, its message is felt strongly at those places where it falls in the angles…especially in the   Gauquelin sectors[1] of a mundane chart. The Gauquelin sectors cover ten degrees of the zodiac on both sides of the   ascendant and the   Midheaven. The chart for the August 3 Full Moon at Beirut has it powerfully placed in the angles. The Full Moon is sharply square Ur
