  A fierce tornado destroys buildings in Cimenyan, Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. March 28 202 https://www.sott.net/article/450753-Fierce-tornado-destroys-buildings-in-Cimenyan-Indonesia     Maps drawn for lunations (New and Full Moons) are among some of the tools used in mundane astrology. When  these charts carry important planetary configurations on the angles they are especially significant for the place. Shown here is the chart for the Full Moon   drawn for Bandung. Notice  the Saturn-Uranus square straddling the meridian. In a previous post [1], I wrote: Saturn Uranus alignments represent periods of radical change and disruption to the status quo. They’re good times to break out of old habits and patterns that have become too restrictive and limiting).   Any structures in our lives that no longer serve a useful or creative purpose can be dismantled and reformed – and we might not have much choice in the matter . More specifically, Uranus [8ta] is on the   4 th house

  A landslide at the Middle Rhine Valley near Kestert has blocked the underlying railway, with no traffic possible the entire week. On Monday 15 March 5,000 cubic metres of stones and rubble came down, not only affecting the rails but also blocking part of the B42 federal highway between Kamp-Bornhofen and Kaub. Currently, geologists and special forces are securing the area and unblocking the way for transportation. https://bit.ly/3rtqE5a A   person for whom the universe is meaningful views all events as elements of a supremely ordered whole . No situation or event is out of place. Each event gives form to the prevailing planetary patterns. Astrologers routinely cast horoscopes for exact planetary aspects. A chart for the exact Venus-Neptune conjunction on March 14   at Ketstert is shown here.   As always alignments with the angles are the ones to focus on. Notice a Admetos-Mars conjunction on the IC. In a previous post [1] we  saw several examples of Mars interacting with Admetos:

    “The greatest and most powerful revolutions often start very quietly, hidden in the shadows. Remember that.” ― Richelle Mead Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley have reportedly sold $19 billion worth of shares in Chinese tech and US media companies. Traders are now wondering what caused the unusually massive move and whether it will continue next week. Goldman Sachs alone liquidated $10.5 billion worth of stocks in block trades on Friday, Bloomberg reported citing the investment bank’s email to clients. https://on.rt.com/b4sb In financial astrology, the movement of the money planet Venus is closely tracked. On March 21, Venus entered Aries and subsequently conjoined the Sun on   Friday, March 26 when the Wall Street banks made their move. Do these banks know something that ordinary traders do not?   Highly likely. In a previous post [2], I have spoken about a potential crisis brewing around mid April when Pluto stations retrograde. But for the moment, let us look at the chart for

  The population of bald eagles in the lower 48 states of the US has quadrupled to more than 316,000 federal wildlife officials say. The population was once on the verge of extinction but a new survey by the US Fish and Wildlife Service found more than 70,000 breeding pairs of the iconic bird. Mar. 26 https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/bald-eagle-population-increase-survey-b1822689.html   In mundane astrology, the ingress of a planet   into a new sign is an important event. Astrologers routinely cast the map for such events keeping an eye for places where the planet aligns with the angles. On Dec. 19, 2020, Jupiter moved into Aquarius but more specifically conjoined the stars of Aquila the Eagle. At Washington,DC, it formed an exact T-square with the meridian. With Jupiter’s association with good health and regeneration, is it surprising that the bald eagle is making a major recovery in the US. The news of the survey by the  US Fish and Wildlife Service comes to us o

  “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

  One day after imposing a 5-day ultra-strict lockdown set to take effect over Easter weekend (presumably to head off any holiday-inspired spread), German Chancellor Angela Merkel has abandoned the plan, though Germany is still planning to extend its current restrictions through April 18. Merkel is dropping the plan after it inspired an intense public backlash and resistance by politicians in the opposition and Merkel's coalition, anonymous sources reportedly told Bloomberg.  Mar. 24  https://bit.ly/39cgWOi   A   person for whom the universe is meaningful views all events as elements of a supremely ordered whole .

  One of the world’s biggest container ships has caused a massive traffic jam on the both sides of the Suez Canal after it ran aground and blocked the key waterway. The predicament has spawned a hasty effort to refloat the ship. The Panama-flagged cargo ship Ever Given has been thrust into the spotlight of social media attention after the 59m-wide vessel found itself trapped in the narrow channel connecting the Mediterranean to the Red Sea. https://on.rt.com/b4fp   Eclipses remain in effect long after they are gone. They become activated when a planet transits over the eclipse degree. While eclipses are worldwide in their scope, their influence is felt strongly in places where they appear on the angles.   A chart for the Lunar Eclipse of Nov. 30, 2020 drawn for the co-ordinates of the Suez Canal has it aligned very significantly with the meridian. In the last couple of days, Mars [9ge] has been transiting over the eclipse Moon [9ge]. The Moon is placed amid the stars of Perseus

  New Delhi: The Guru Harkrishan Institute of Medical Sciences and Research’s new block at Delhi’s Gurdwara Bala Sahib was teeming with people Tuesday (March 9) as the facility threw its doors open for those seeking free dialysis treatment.    Built by the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC), the 100-bed dialysis centre at the gurdwara in Sarai Kale Khan is being touted as India’s biggest dialysis centre. March 10   https://bit.ly/3ccbM6X In the midst of a 24/7 news cycle dominated by stories about violence, war, natural disasters and corruption, good news comes like a breath of fresh air on a hot summer day.   In this blogpost, we shall see this news as a positive   example of Neptune in Pisces at work. We begin with the chart of the total solar eclipse of June 20, 2020  drawn for Delhi where it fell very significantly on the meridian forming a T-square with Neptune (humanitarian) – Mars (action)  on the descendant in Pisces. Both Neptune and Pisces are linked to the

  Bellerophon falling off Pegasus Amid a growing number of Houthi-launched attacks on Saudi Arabian oil refineries which recently inspired the kingdom to launch a round of naval drills intended to intimidate, Saudi Arabia has proposed a sweeping cease-fire agreement that would end the world's worst humanitarian conflict and help revive Yemen's badly damaged economy. March 22 https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/saudi-arabia-floats-peace-deal-end-war-yemen-spark-economic-revival     The Saudi war  in Yemen began  on 26 March 2015, in response to calls from the pro-Saudi president of Yemen Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi for military support . The war and ousting of President Abd-Rabbuh Manṣour Al-Hadi in Yemen are not the results of a Houthi coup in Yemen. It is the opposite. Al-Hadi was ousted, because with Saudi and US support he tried to backtrack on the power sharing agreements he had made and return Yemen to authoritarian rule. The ousting of President Al-Hadi by the Houthis an

  Achernar, the Brightest Star on the River of Eridanus Sydney is facing a once-in-50-year flood emergency tonight. Evacuation orders are in place, thousands of people on alert, with sections of suburbs around the Hawkesbury and Nepean Rivers expected to go under. Adding to the crisis, Warragamba Dam is spilling enormous amounts of water with fears of flooding not seen since the 1960s.

Of these the Capricorn Sidereal Ingress chart  (Capsolar) is considered by many astrologers to be the most important and often referred to as the Annual Chart. Presented here is the Capricorn Sidereal Ingress chart for Sydney, Australia. As always, aspects to the angles are the ones to focus on. Here we have Neptune  on the Ascendant square the Nodes aligned with  the meridian . The March 13, New Moon [23pi] fell on the Ascendant [22pi] and Neptune [19pi] w

  A volcano has erupted south-west of Iceland's capital Reykjavik, the country's meteorological office says.It says the fissure is about 500-700 metres long (1,640-2,300ft) at Fagradalsfjall on Reykjanes peninsula. The last eruption there was some 800 years ago. Mar.20 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-56465393 In mundane astrology, the cardinal ingresses of the Sun (entry into the  four cardinal signs, i.e. 00 deg of Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn ) have a traditional reputation as important mundane events.Today  the Sun has entered Aries. A chart for the event has Pluto placed very significantly on the MC opposite the TNP Vulcanus. In his essay, An Introduction to Archetypal Astrology, Richard Tarnas explains the action of Pluto: Pluto rules upheaval, breakdown and decay, but also regeneration and the purifying fire of catharsis. It reflects the archetypal Underworld--the dark, mysterious, and often terrifying reality which lurks beneath the surface of things, be

  US and Chinese officials have exchanged sharp rebukes in the first high-level talks between the Biden administration and China, taking place in Alaska. Mar.20 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-56452471 Charts for the phases of the Moon are among the most reliable indicators of events on earth. This is especially so at places where they bring significant planetary aspects to the horizon or meridian. Moon phases act as   local “step down transformers” for powerful energies generated by far away stars and planets. Presented here is the chart for the First Quarter Moon of March 21 drawn for Anchorage, Alaska. Notice the Mars-Mercury – Node T-square aligned significantly with the meridian. About this square Astrology King writes: Mercury Square Mars Transit Mercury square Mars transit can cause rushed thinking and make you short-tempered and aggressive. You may rush your decision-making, jump to conclusions, and say the wrong thing. All of this can then lead to disagreement

  One in two Austrians prefers to keep their opinions to themselves, partly due to fear of being labeled an "alt right," a new survey shows, as people in the Alpine land appear to grow wary of "exaggerated" political correctness. An increasing need to watch one's mouth, which is in no small way influenced by modern "woke" trends, seems to be "getting on the nerves" of many Austrians, a survey commissioned by Der Standard newspaper revealed. Indeed, 57 percent of respondents said they've grown tired of being "increasingly dictated" to what they can and cannot say. March 17 https://on.rt.com/b404 Astrologers have long recognized that eclipses tend to bring about endings and new beginnings. They offer a time to resynchronize our selves with the ever-changing cosmic currents supporting our evolutionary progression in consciousness. While an eclipse is worldwide in scope, its effect is more prominently felt at places where signific

  A dangerous outbreak of severe thunderstorms is imminent for portions of the South and Southeast, where destructive winds, hail and tornadoes, some potentially strong, are expected Wednesday and Thursday. The onslaught of storms may set off a very active severe weather and tornado season across the Lower 48. https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2021/03/16/south-severe-thunderstorm-outbreak-tornadoes/   Charts for the phases of the Moon are among the most reliable indicators of events on earth. This is especially so at places where they bring significant planetary aspects to the horizon or meridian. Moon phases act as   local “step down transformers” for powerful energies generated by far away stars and planets that they aspect. And quite often, the images associated with   the star constellations are brought to our attention in surprising ways when Moon phases activate them. Shown here is the chart for the Crescent Moon drawn for Washington, DC. Notice the Sun placed significan

   An official in the Georgia secretary of state’s office was the only source for at least one story that falsely claimed former President Donald Trump told an investigator with the office to “find the fraud.” …A recording of the call recently emerged from a records request, showing that the Post and a slew of other outlets had falsely reported Trump uttering several phrases. Mar. 16 https://bit.ly/38NyY9f   The news item above is easily explained astrologically, if readers refer to extracts from two of my recent posts [1][2]. The monthly New Moon provides fairly reliable information when it falls on a significant point in an individual or national horoscope. The   New Moon   [23pi]   of March 13 falls exactly opposite the US Sibly Neptune [23vi]. The Sibly Neptune is conjunct the stars Alkaid and Denebola. About these stars, Nick Fiorenza writes: “   (they)…embody the diversionary tactics, usually of a grandiose scale and glamorous facade, a front large enough to draw attent

  Neptune A London vigil for murder victim Sarah Everard -- held in defiance of a police order amid the Covid-19 pandemic – turned ugly after large numbers of officers arrived and tried to clear people from the area. https://on.rt.com/b3q8 Neptune represents our need for transcendence and the desire to escape limitations through surrender to an   ideal which quite often turns out to be an illusion.With Neptune you can never be sure what’s going on. However, its real function isn’t to create illusions but to reveal it. In a previous   post   Sun-Neptune synod: Unveiling of deceptions ,[1]   I wrote: Of all planets Neptune is adept at undermining things from within…If a true reality is to be appreciated and outwardly realized then a false reality must be shown up for what it is. When we truly come to understand Neptune, we may find that he is actually the revealer of reality. There are no victims. We co-create everything. So recognizing the part   a victim plays in his or her own

  Nessus and Deniara The most poignant key concept   about Nessus comes from Melanie Reinhart: the buck stops here, indicating that it in some situations it speaks to the conclusion of the karmic cycle involved. Nessus helps us sever ties that bind us, ties that if we don't sever them they may just forever harm us. Nessus will reveal the truth to us in a painful way, but it gives us a chance to get out before it gets worst. This is where Nessus in transits becomes really important. They can signify the end to something major. With Nessus, there may be some form of abuse of trust, and it may be subtle — until you see it clearly for what it is. An abuse pattern indicated by Nessus can be psychological, physical or sexual in nature; it can involve ‘potentially inappropriate’   behavior.   Nessus   is currently square the Moon’s   Nodes. The Moon's Nodes are related to the subconscious, the domain of the Moon. Thus, the South Node represents subconscious motivations that stem f

  In his post America’s Pluto Return , astrologer  Bill Herbst writes: Here’s the bad news in a nutshell: A financial meltdown of unprecedented proportions is coming in the years ahead in America (and the world), for which the great bulk of people, and particularly much of the American population, is unprepared or even unaware. The neoliberal financialization of EVERYTHING that began in America during the 1980s has continued into this century. Apparently, the only value that   matters in terms of economic policy is monetary profit, despite the fact that our money is more and more debased and disconnected from anything of real worth. The Masters of the Universe on Wall Street have come up with seemingly endless ways (one example of which is the financial instrument and investment product called “derivatives”) to make more and larger profits for themselves. These schemes have nothing to do with actual productivity (i.e., real goods and services) and everything to do with making and hed

  AccuWeather meteorologists continue to track the weekend winter storm, making its rounds in southern California mid-week and set to arrive in southern Colorado late Friday and dump snow across the state through late Sunday or early Monday morning.   https://bit.ly/30F6pGJ   Presented here is the chart for the Last Quarter Moon “Wobble” of March 5 drawn for Denver. Notice the Sun-Moon-Nodes T-square on the angles. This would apply to most regions in southern California and southern Colorado too . During Moon Wobble the instability factor is high, resulting in more accidents, fires, plane crashes, freak accidents, floods, and feats of nature , bizarre weather patterns , earthquakes, tornadoes, violence, terrorism, riots, and political and personal upheavals. How long a Moon Wobble and Moon/Solar Wobbles lasts varies according to other planetary factors that can trigger the point of Moon Wobble earlier or prolong it turning into a Moon/Solar Wobble. For a Moon Wobble usually, the

  In a previous post,   Major upheavals expected at Last Quarter Moon [1], I wrote:   The upcoming Last Quarter Moon of   Mar. 5 forms a T-square with the Nodes.   This is a phenomena known as “Moon Wobble”…These powerful contacts occur when the Sun and the Node are in the same sign, or the opposing sign, or when the Sun is in a square aspect to the nodal axis. During Moon Wobble the instability factor is high, resulting in more fires , plane crashes, freak accidents, floods, feats of nature, bizarre weather patterns, earthquakes, tornadoes, violence, Terrorism, riots, and political and personal upheavals. While the effect of the Moon Wobble will be worldwide in scope, it is   more likely to   cause “disturbances” in those areas where it is on the angles. Here is news from two places where the LQ Moon Wobble is on the angles.   Paris (Reuters) - A fire at a French cloud services firm has disrupted millions of websites, knocking out government agencies’ portals, banks, shops, n

  First , the Ukrainian government and parliament have, for all practical purposes, declared the Minsk Agreements as dead. Truth be told, these agreements were stillborn, but as long as everybody pretended that there was still a chance for some kind of negotiated solution, they served as a “war retardant”. Now that this retardant has been removed, the situation becomes far more explosive than before. Second, it is pretty obvious that the “Biden” administration is a who’s who of all the worst russophobes of the Obama era: Nuland, Psaki, and the rest of them are openly saying that they want to increase the confrontation with Russia. Finally, and most ominously, there are clear signs that the Ukrainian military is moving heavy forces towards the line of contact. March 10 http://thesaker.is/is-the-ukraine-on-the-brink-of-war-again/ In the past several blogposts, we have referred to the Moon Wobble creating unstable conditions which   cause subconscious or suppressed material that has
