At Paris, the Total Lunar Eclipse of May 16 fell very significantly on the horizon. In Scorpio, the Moon in her fall feels things intensely and deeply, necessitating a descent into buried emotions. It is potentially capable of unleashing overwhelming emotional tides of the psyche.

  Zeus: God of thunder and lightning Over 70 head of sheep and goats died when lightning struck a remote Rajgundha village, 90 km from Palampur, last night.

Suddenly, lightning stuck the tree, killing 70 animals on the spot. However, he and his two companions had a narrow escape. https://bit.ly/38uQKkH   Sudden tragic events like this one often leave us wondering whether they have an astrological signature.

  Two European leaders over the weekend urged Russian President Vladimir Putin to end his country's hostilities in Ukraine and return to the negotiating table as the war nears the 100-day mark.

  With Russia's war in Ukraine now in its fourth month, mainstream media consumers have been treated to seemingly endless headlines and analysis of Russia's extensive military losses. At the same time Ukrainian forces have tended to be lionized and their battlefield prowess romanticized, with essentially zero public information so far being given which details up-to-date Ukrainian force casualties, set-backs, and equipment losses. But for the first time The Washington Post is out with a surprisingly dire and negative assessment of how US-backed and equipped Ukrainian forces are actually fairing. https://bit.ly/3z4MmnB   Many of us live in a world of delusions. A delusion is defined as a state of irrational belief that holds even when there is strong evidence to the contrary. The ability to distinguish between reality and fiction in one’s own thoughts is an important aspect of development. Reality testing plays a significant role in this process. It is the ability to see a sit

  Zelensky rips Kissinger over suggestion Ukraine cede territory to Russia The New York Times has abandoned the neoconservative demand for victory over Russia:   “A decisive military victory for Ukraine over Russia, in which Ukraine regains all the territory Russia has seized since 2014, is not a realistic goal. … Russia remains too strong…”   “… Mr. Biden should also make clear to President Volodymyr Zelensky and his people that there is a limit to how far the United States and NATO will go to confront Russia, and limits to the arms, money and political support they can muster. It is imperative that the Ukrainian government’s decisions be based on a realistic assessment of its means and how much more destruction Ukraine can sustain.”   Any astrologer could have foreseen this outcome with one look at the Ukraine horoscope. Look at the stellium of planets in the 8 th house - Sun, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter.   In general, the 8 th rules “all matters relating to death, decay, fear, anxi

    Norway should share the “excess” profits it’s been making as oil and gas prices soar amid the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said at the National Youth Dialogue Congress on Saturday.   “But should we be paying Norway gigantic money for gas – four or five times more than we paid a year ago? This is sick,” he said, claiming that the excess of the annual average gas and oil profit “will exceed €100 billion” this year for a country of five million people like Norway. https://www.rt.com/business/555926-poland-norway-gas-profits/     Synastry is the art of relationship Astrology.

   In Varanasi, one of the world's oldest living cities, Hindus and Muslims have prayed close to each other in a temple and a mosque that sit cheek by jowl. The heavily-guarded complex points to its uneasy history. The Gyanvapi mosque is built on the ruins of the Vishwanath temple, a grand 16th Century Hindu shrine. The temple was partially destroyed in 1669 on the orders of Aurangzeb, the sixth Mughal emperor. Now the place is in the throes of a dispute which could stoke fresh tensions in Hindu-majority India, where Muslims are the largest religious minority. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-61476741   Eclipses have a way of bringing up the past to help resolve issues that have remained unaddressed.
