    A fossilized Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton, estimated to be around 66-68 million years-old, is expected to sell for as much as $25 million in an upcoming auction at Christie's Hong Kong in November. The sale, which will occur on Nov. 30, will mark the first time a T-Rex skeleton is offered at (public) auction in Asia, Christie's said in a Thursday statement. https://bit.ly/3dYqCla     The phases of the Moon are among the most reliable indicators of events on earth. A Moon phase can act as a local “step down transformer” for powerful energies generated by far away stars and planets that it aspects. To understand how their energies are focused at any place of interest astrologers routinely draw charts of monthly lunations. Presented here is the chart for the First Quarter Moon of Nov. 30 drawn for Hongkong.

Hurricane Ian continues to strengthen ahead of landfall. As of 0733 ET, the National Hurricane Center said Ian's sustained maximum winds were 155 mph, just 2 mph shy of a Cat. 5 storm https://www.zerohedge.com/weather/hurricane-ian-strengthens-powerful-category-4-florida-landfall-immient   In her article A Basic Guide to Astrometeorology , Kim Farnell explains the use of maps for the cardinal ingresses of the Sun (entry into the four cardinal signs/ constellations, i.e. 00 deg of Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn ) for forecasting the weather[1]. The event in the news has occurred in the current Libra quarter. A chart for the Libra ingress of the Sun drawn for Sarasota Florida is shown here. On the Ascendant is the Arabic lunar mansion Al-Sharatain [03ta 28 to 21ta07]. Arabs said Al Sharatain brought “whirlwinds:” planets transited these stars when in 1991, a massive cyclone with 145 mph winds hit Bangladesh; in 1955 a record of 110 tornadoes in 3 days hit 6 states – a monst

    A former Polish Defense Minister, Radek Sikorski, has attributed to the United States the sabotage of two pipelines, Nord Stream 1 and 2, which carry natural gas from Russia to Germany. “Thank you, USA,” Sikorski wrote on Twitter. https://bit.ly/3UI7ybf   In just 200 days as chancellor Olaf Scholz has broken what his predecessors Gerhard Schroeder and Angela Merkel had been building for thirty years. The German economy has collapsed like a card tower especially so now after the blowing up of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline by the Americans.. The Americans are willing to completely destroy Germany to maintain their dominion over the EU.   Perhaps the people of Europe deserve what is coming their way. Simply put: if you have no self-respect, why would anybody have any respect for you?   In a previous post [1], I had discussed the pressure created by the Saturn return in the EU chart. With Saturn now retrograding over its natal position some kind of rethinking should occur (now we kn

  The New Moon in Libra opposite a Jupiter retrograde in Aries on September 25 makes it ideal for reflection upon the path we chose in the past and the possible mistakes we made in our over enthusiasm. The Scales of the Libra New Moon amplify themes of balance and correction and the necessity of taking the time needed to think through options and issues in order to distill the essence of what needs our focus.  The New Moon [2li48] is conjunct the newly discovered centaur Rhiphonos [2 li18]. About Rhiphonos, Benjamin Adamah writes:   Rhiphonos learns to rediscover his own passions and points out that ambitions, aspirations and passion must be synchronised if our course is to be the right one and the path of our heart. In the Rhiphonos       process there is at first a notion of being stuck or an impasse, then an awareness of a farce, dead end or dormant state or wrong turn that was taken earlier in life, followed by a decision to take the leap to another course, another attitude, b

  Protesting Iran’s Compulsory Hijab Law A fifth day of protests in Iran have resulted in multiple deaths amid a security crackdown, following the death last week of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old from Iranian Kurdistan who reportedly died due to being roughed up by police for "unsuitable attire" - or not conforming to Islamic Republic standards of a hijab.

Iran’s chart is based on the return of Ayotullah Khomeini from exile (Feb.1, 1979; 9:30 am IT; Tehran) to form the present Islamic Repubic. Presented here is the current lunar chart for Iran.

Among other things the TNP Poseidon rules “religion”.   In a previous post Saturn-Uranus square: Singapore to scrap anti-gay law [1], I wrote:   Most readers would be well aware that the defining aspect of 2021-2022 has been the last quarter square between Saturn and Uranus.

    The 2022 SCO summit was the 22nd annual summit of heads of state of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation held between 15 and 16 September 2022 in Samarkand, Uzbekistan. During a meeting, the Chinese leader re-affirmed his understanding both of the historical moment now shaping the world and also the vital role he understands both Russia and China must play in navigating humanity through this storm. The common theme amongst the discussions of the SCO Summit and broader multipolar alliance is shaped around the common good, common security and coordination of action towards improving the conditions of life of peoples and sovereign nations.   So what if any are the astrological indicators of the summit? First and foremost, the meeting has taken place in the shadow of the Sun’s ingress into Libra - the sign that is associated with co-operation. At Samarkand, the ingress Sun is on the Ascendant opposite a Jupiter-Neptune conjunction on the descendant.   Neptune in Pisces invites un

  Neptune - the Earth Shaker TAIPEI, Sept 18 (Reuters) - A 6.8 magnitude earthquake hit the sparsely populated southeastern part of Taiwan on Sunday, the island's weather bureau said, derailing train carriages, causing a convenience store to collapse and trapping hundreds on mountain roads.  The weather bureau said the epicentre was in Taitung county, and followed a 6.4 magnitude temblor on Saturday evening in the same area, which caused no casualties. https://reut.rs/3RMZS5H The phases of the Moon are among the most reliable indicators of events on earth.

  As if there wasn't enough evidence already, the political left's duplicity on how to handle illegal immigration is now a matter of obvious historic record..You see, the political left is perfectly fine with relocation and strategically implanting migrants into specific area of the country, but only if THEY get to choose the locations. They do not like that their tactics are now being used against them...Officials in Martha's Vineyard put on quite the song-and-dance theatrics for the media cameras when the 50 DeSantis migrants showed up on their doorstep. They pontificated about taking care of the less fortunate and leaving the door open to helping others in need. They even fed the migrants, unloading hot meals from vans and trucks as the media recorded everything carefully. But, their hospitality only lasted for a day and everything changed. Martha's Vineyard is now busing most or all of the migrants off of the island and sending them to Cape Cod Military Base. S

      German Chancellor Olaf Scholz urged Russian President Vladimir Putin on a phone call (Sep.13) , ‘to find a diplomatic solution to the conflict in Ukraine. It could be based on a ceasefire and the complete withdrawal of Russian troops as soon as possible,’ as stated by a German government spokesperson....The Germans and French are the two biggest economies of the EU and their recent show of solidarity with Moscow and against Pentagon is a good enough reason to assume that Europe has finally given up arms. https://bit.ly/3qBW37w   The world is in a state of continuous change or flux. Astrologers mark the change of seasons primarily with the ingress of the Sun into the four cardinal signs, i.e. 00 deg of Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn. A major shift is due at the Autumn Equinox marked by the Sun’s entry into Libra. A chart for the event drawn for Berlin has the powerful Saturn-Uranus square straddling the horizon. Saturn- Uranus alignments coincide with periods of politic

  Railroad Strike Nearly 115,000 US rail workers are poised to go on strike on Thursday at midnight, shutting down 40% of long-distance trade, after negotiations between rail unions and carriers failed to bear fruit. While the end of the “cooling off” period does not guarantee a strike, two of the 12 rail workers’ unions have yet to reach a deal with the industry’s bargaining committee, and the other 10 have vowed to walk off the job if even one union is left without a contract. https://www.rt.com/news/562814-rail-workers-strike-unions-attendance/   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.

  Multiple regions of southeastern Ukraine suffered electricity shortages and blackouts late on Sunday. President Vladimir Zelensky has said the cause was missile attacks by Moscow on “critical infrastructure.” https://www.rt.com/russia/562602-ukraine-blackout/     The horoscope of a nation and its derivatives are crucial in understanding the nature of events it faces. The horoscope of Ukraine has an Admetus-Pluto opposition that aligns with the meridian.  Admetus-Pluto : Situations that have been endured for a long time begin to surface – problems that have been on simmer break into a full rolling boil. Having delayed elimination of intolerable problems, one faces confrontation with self or others and experiences a need for return to integrity – a need to know where one stands (and then to decide if one is willing to stand there!). To see that things reach critical mass - in other words, although one has been able to stand up under increasing pressure, the burden finally becomes

  The Crab Nebula In A.D. 1054, a nearby star ran out of fuel and blew up in a dazzling supernova explosion. Though located 6,500 light-years away, the blast was clearly visible in the skies over Earth for 23 days and several hundred nights after.  The explosion, now known as SN 1054, was so bright that Chinese astronomers dubbed it a "guest star," while skywatchers in Japan, Iraq and possibly the Americas recorded the explosion's sudden appearance in writing and in stone. But in Europe — which was largely ruled at the time by the Byzantine Emperor Constantine IX and the Christian church — the big, bedazzling explosion in the sky was never mentioned, not even once. Why not? Did the church simply ignore this spontaneous star, or was a more nefarious plot to cover up the reality of the cosmos at play? https://bit.ly/3RQz7Nb   Hopefully regular readers are by now convinced that no event happens without an underlying message.

  Have you ever experienced the sudden feeling of somehow being exactly where you’ve been before, doing exactly what you swear you’ve already done? It could be while rearranging your living room, having a conversation, or simply sitting alone doing nothing. This feeling of familiarity is, of course, known as déjà vu (a French term meaning “already seen”) and it’s reported to occur on an occasional basis in 60 to 80 percent of people. It’s an experience that’s almost always fleeting and it occurs at random.  Many researchers propose that the phenomenon is a memory-based experience and assume the memory centers of the brain are responsible for it. https://bit.ly/3TQOSWv   Astrology embodies a system of new categories that are different from the ones to which we are habituated 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.

  UK Foreign Minister and Conservative Party leader Liz Truss was elected as the next UK Prime Minister on Monday (at 12:38, BST London). Liz Truss will succeed ousted Boris Johnson as British Prime Minister. Liz Truss defeated her rival, former finance minister Rishi Sunak, to win the Tory leadership contest.   Truss is a democratic fundamentalist who has a very dogmatic understanding of the world. Her brand is built upon overselling Britain’s capabilities, on pretending it is something it is not. Liz Truss said she would be willing to unleash nuclear war if she were to become prime minister. She is not alone among political leaders in the western imperialist states to threaten nuclear annihilation in the past few months if their hegemony and imperial profits were threatened by resistance to their exploitation and control of the globe.   Nations always get leaders that they deserve. Most often the horoscope of a nation provides clues to why certain leaders come to power. The UK horo
