  The Wagner private military company led by Evgeny Prigozhin launched a coup attempt in Russia that began on Friday evening and lasted through Saturday. The armed contractors managed to seize an army headquarters in the southern part of the country. However, they failed to rally other units and eventually aborted their advance towards Moscow after a deal was reached with authorities. https://www.rt.com/russia/578650-recap-failed-coup-wagner/   Presented here is the chart of Russia. Radix Pluto [21sc] makes a sharp square to the horizon axis [1 st -7 th house cusps].    In an individual’s chart a Pluto square to the horizon axis generally implies that the person is skilful in misrepresenting himself and often trapped in a web of lies woven unintentionally sometimes for the highest of reasons, for example a woman who smilingly abides in a sham marriage “for the sake of the kids” - in other words keeping the peace.   Extrapolating from there what might this mean in a national chart

  Believe the Chart… Charts are true. Utterly. With a precision that can stun.  The task, then, is to learn and understand the factors and techniques that reveal the truth and to honor, serve and embrace the knowledge of self and the profound gift of life events.   -Martha Wescott  The Fall of Bellerophon On 18 June 2023, Titan, a submersible operated by OceanGate, went missing in international waters in the North Atlantic Ocean some 400 nautical miles (740 km) from the coast of Newfoundland, Canada.[2] The submersible with five people on board was on a tourist expedition to view the wreck of the Titanic. Communication was lost with Titan 1 hour and 45 minutes into its dive to the wreck site; authorities were notified when it did not resurface at its scheduled time later that day. On 22 June, after nearly 80 hours of searching, a remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROV) discovered a debris field containing parts of the Titan approximately 488 m (1,600 ft) from the bow of the Titan

     At approximately 7:50 this morning (17 June), the YCSO dispatch center received multiple 911 calls about a man who was being mauled by a bear in the Groom Creek Area. When YCSO deputies and Prescott PD arrived at the scene, which was in a heavily wooded remote area, they found Steven Jackson, 66 years old of Tucson dead of an apparent bear attack, and the bear dead nearby. Deputies called officials from Arizona Game and Fish to respond to the scene as well.    https://tinyurl.com/mts4ajnb   Astrologers look at the stars to see whether there are any omens that show how affairs on earth are likely to be affected, according to the essential principle: as above, so below. To this end astrologers pay attention to the monthly lunation cycles among other mundane phenomena. A chart for the 17 June New Moon drawn for Groom Creek holds the key to the tragic event reported in the news.

  To the magus, there exists no accidental happening…everything is established solidly by that law which the wise man discerns in happenings that appear accidental to the profane. The curve observed in the flight of birds, the barking of a dog, the shape of a cloud, are occult manifestations of that omnipresent, coordinator, the source of unity and harmony - Karl Seligmann Mensa, the Mountain   Thousands of tonnes of rock have broken off the summit of a mountain popular with climbers and tumbled into a valley in Austria, in an incident blamed by geologists on melting snow and thawing permafrost. https://tinyurl.com/42xaf2ev The Fluchthorn or Piz Fenga is a mountain in the Silvretta Alps, located on the border between Austria and Switzerland. With a height of 3,399 metres (11,152 ft) above sea level, it is the second highest summit of the Silvretta Alps. The Fluchthorn lies between the Jamtal (Tyrol) and the Val Fenga (Graubünden). It consists of three summits of which the southern o

      A massive fire erupted in Bhopal’s Satpura Bhawan complex, which houses several important government offices, on Monday evening. According to fire department officials, the blaze was first reported on the third floor of the building around 4 pm. https://tinyurl.com/yk9b7pw8 Many events can be explained by what astrologers refer to as planetary ingresses. This term refers to the entry (or re-entry) of a planet into a new sign. And places where the ingress takes place on the horizon or meridian axes are the ones most likely to be affected.  On June 11, Pluto retrograded back into Capricorn. A chart for the ingress at Bhopal has it placed exactly on the IC (4 th house cusp). In mundane astrology, the 4th house rules buildings among other things [1].   Pluto is a pattern disrupter and deprogrammer. And in Capricorn this means its disruptive energy is focused on large institutions like governments. Most institutions suffer scandal after scandal as hidden frailties and fall

  The BRIC acronym, a concept floated for the first time more than a decade ago in 2001,  represents the loose grouping of Brazil, Russia, India and China. The idea was coined by Goldman Sachs in a paper as part of an economic modelling exercise to forecast global economic trends over the next half-century. The main finding was that the BRICS would play an increasingly important role in the global economy.  The move towards formalisation of the group was concretised when the BRIC leaders held  their first summit on 16 June 2009 in Yekaterinburg, Russia, calling for a more democratic and multipolar world based on the rule of international law, equality, mutual respect, cooperation, co-ordinated action, and collective decision making of all states.   A noon horoscope drawn for 16 June 2009 can be considered as the horoscope of BRICS.

        By Tuesday evening, a wave of thunderstorms reached the region of Budapest. On Aranyhegy in Óbuda, at around 8:15 PM, a non-mesocyclonic tornado formed from one of the thunderstorm clouds. Meanwhile, there was heavy rainfall in several other settlements in Hungary, with minor flooding in several places. https://tinyurl.com/bde4bm37   Although science [1] does not recognize it, astrology accepts that eclipses can impact the weather at a place especially if they occur on the horizon or the meridian. And the effect of the eclipse need not be felt immediately but can take place well after its occurrence especially close to lunations just before or after the eclipse. (The Budapest thunderstorms have taken place on June 6 th just after the June 4 th Full Moon).   The last lunar eclipse of May 5 th was not only significantly aligned with the horizon at Budapest but also conjunct radix Pluto [14sc] (upheavals?) on the MC in Hungary’s radix chart [2].

  “The usual hero adventure begins with someone from whom something has been taken, or who feels there is something lacking in the normal experience available or permitted to the members of society. The person then takes off on a series of adventures beyond the ordinary, either to recover what has been lost or to discover some life-giving elixir. It's usually a cycle, a coming and a returning.” ― Joseph Campbell, quote from The Hero With a Thousand Faces Weeks after bidding adieu to Fox News, Tucker Carlson has resurfaced on Twitter with a new series aptly titled "Tucker on Twitter."

  “Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven”. —Matthew 18:3  S ix of Cups  A comprehensive investigation by the Wall Street Journal and the Stanford Internet Observatory reveals that Meta-owned Instagram has been home to an organized and massive network of pedophiles. But what separates this case from most is that Instagram's own algorithms were promoting pedophile content to other pedophiles, while the pedos themselves used coded emojis, such as a picture of a map, or a slice of cheese pizza. https://tinyurl.com/8svh67h5     Instagram is a photo and video sharing social networking service owned by American company Meta Platforms with its headquarters at Menlo Park, California.

  A major Soviet-era dam in the Russian controlled part of southern Ukraine was breached on Tuesday, unleashing floodwaters across the war zone in what both Ukraine and Russia said was an intentional attack by the other's forces. https://tinyurl.com/t5uw8am5     The effect of an eclipse is felt strongly when (a) it falls on major elements of a radix chart or  (b) when it aligns with horizon or meridian at any place. In Ukraine’s national chart (see image), the Scorpio lunar eclipse of May 5 th fell on the meridian activating the radix combination [Admetus-Pluto]. Martha Wescott defines Admetus as a “blockage” or “resistance”.  Admetus [15ta] is conjunct the star Zibal [14ta] in the constellation Eridanus - the Celestial River - (a dam?). Among events linked to this star, Diana Rosenberg has “inundations, drowning” !

      It appears to be a common practice among astrologers to draw the chart for an event when trying to explain the reason behind that event. Some go further and include charts for the current lunation. In my experience while these charts do provide some information, in many cases, they may still not be basic enough to understand the “root cause” . If the chart of the nation is available, it should be analyzed first...the other mundane charts can follow.    The table below gives the Primary (Van Dam) progressions for India’s chart. The two radix planets highlighted - Mercury and the Moon - are both placed in the 3 rd house which has rulership over “the transport system and all means of inland transit, locomotion or communication, such as railways, road and river traffic, cars etc.” The hard aspects of Sun and Pluto to the radix planets provide the first hint that an accident was likely. Transit Mars going over radix Mercury on 2 nd June provided the final trigger.   DYNAMIC R
