    Medical astrology is a science that demands a union of knowledge of both astrology and  medicine. Ideally, it takes years of acquiring astrological expertise and then becoming totally familiar with physiology and anatomy to qualify as a medical astrologer who with the cooperation of a physician can accurately diagnose diseases and advise clients on the best procedures for regaining health. One writer who has achieved this degree of expertise is Eileen Nauman.  In her book Medical Astrology , she has meticulously provided details of diseases linked to planets in signs. The table below from his birthchart [1] gives Mitch McConnell’s placement (currently activated by his solar arc directed Sun [21° 33' Taurus]. Transit Uranus [23ta] has recently stationed conjunct the three planets, thereby providing the necessary trigger.            Mars 21° 29' Taurus   Saturn   22° 22' Taurus Uranus 26° 28'

  The Biden administration has imposed a blockade on advanced computer chips headed for China. The action is expected to slow China’s technological development while inflicting serious damage on the broader economy. The strategy has been widely praised by the media and foreign policy experts, but a growing number of analysts wonder if the plan could backfire? https://www.globalresearch.ca/biden-thwarting-china-development-job-one/5828435   Synastry is a method of comparing two or more horoscopes. This makes it possible to find the interaspects, i.e. the aspects between the planets and axes of one horoscope to another one. It is an effective and easily understood method, and it can be combined with predictive tools such as progressions and transits.   Using the national charts [1][2[, we find China’s progressed Sun [21sa] is completing a T-square with the US Sibly Mars [21ge]-Neptune [22vi] .

      Castor and Pollux - the Horsemen   On January 24, 1536, England's Henry VIII was involved in an infamous jousting accident that may have unwittingly changed the course of history. As the 44-year-old lunged forward, he fell from his horse and found himself trapped beneath the animal.  A 2016 study conducted by scientists at Yale University posited that in his later years, the Tudor monarch displayed symptoms consistent with a history of traumatic brain injuries. (Researchers compared the king’s injuries to those of professional American football players.) As a young man, Henry had embraced rough-and-tumble sports—particularly jousting—and he seemed to have a propensity for accidents. In 1524, the king failed to lower the visor on his helmet while jousting and suffered a blow to the head above his right eye. The injury caused serious migraines that persisted for the remainder of his life. https://tinyurl.com/nhhkwcmp   Henry VIII (28 June 1491 – 28 January 1547) was King o

  Orion battling the Scorpion Good luck trying this case, DA Fani Willis. And by all means roll the TV cameras in the courtroom. You are about to supplant the Scopes trial of 1925 as the most notoriously ridiculous piece of legal work in US history.   This week, DA Willis staged the circus parade of bookings, forcing the large cast of indictees - most of them attorneys for Mr. Trump - to submit to the finger-printing and mugshot ceremony in the county jail, in case any of them had thoughts of decamping to Uruguay. The cable news peanut gallery went berserk with glee at the humiliation of election denial celebrities Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell especially. On Thursday, attorney Kenneth Chesebro, who advised Georgia GOP officials on the process of assembling alternate electors in the case of election fraud under Georgia law, demanded a speedy trial.   Will the defendants be allowed to present evidence of serious irregularities in the 2020 Georgia election results? If not, would that no

    The development of the situation surrounding the possible invasion of Niger by the troops of certain countries of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) is remarkably reminiscent of the discussions that took place on the eve of this summer's Ukrainian "counter-offensive."   But there is a significant difference. In the case of Ukraine, we are dealing with a regime that is pursuing a murderous policy towards the territory under its control. African leaders, on the other hand, are not at all willing to take risks for the interests of France and the United States. Therefore, what was a tragedy in Ukraine may turn out to be a farce in West Africa, with the end result being an amicable agreement between all parties concerned. https://tinyurl.com/w65fancr     Presented here is the horoscope of Niger as provided by Astrotheme with AA rating from a timed official source.

        In Russia’s chart [25 Dec. 1991; 17:20 UT; Moscow], Uranus has been transiting opposite radix Pluto [21sc] which makes a sharp square to the horizon axis [1st -7th house cusps]. In a previous post [1], I wrote:   Transit Uranus opposite Russia’s radix Pluto is a long term transit. So what happened today to set it into motion. Well for one thing transit Mars [20le] conjoined Russia’s Ascendant [21le] and triggered the combination. In a strange coincidence it was also conjunct Wagner group chief Evgeny Prigozhin’s radix Uranus [22le]. His birthdata is 1st June 1961 so that he becomes the rebel or the catalyst for the change or rupture.   In June it was the Mars transit over Russia’s Ascendant and Prigozhin’s radix Uranus [22le], now it is the New Moon [23le] and the Uranus station[23ta] that is triggering the same combination. Here are the charts for the New Moon and the Uranus station at Moscow. Notice how powerful these charts are with their alignments to the meridian.

  With inflation plaguing the economy as the U.S. dollar is increasingly being sidelined in international trade, potentially even at risk of losing its status as the global reserve currency, lawmakers in Washington and state capitals are touting gold and precious metals as the solution. Aug. 23 https://www.zerohedge.com/political/efforts-protect-us-intensify-amid-global-shift-dollar     Below is an extract from two earlier posts [1] [2] in which I discussed the chart for the birth of the fiat dollar.   The unilateral change in policy was made on 15 August 1971. The President spoke at 9 p.m. in the Oval Office at the White House. His address was broadcast live on radio and television. On that day, the Federal Reserve shut its "gold window," meaning foreign governments could no longer trade gold for dollars at the fixed rate of $35 an ounce. The Bretton Woods system officially ended and the dollar became fully "fiat currency," backed by nothing but the promise o

  Hurricane Hilary is a weakening tropical cyclone currently inland over Southern California. The eighth named storm, sixth hurricane, and fourth major hurricane of the 2023 Pacific hurricane season, Hilary originated from a disturbance south of the southern coast of Mexico associated with a tropical wave that entered the far eastern Pacific Ocean from Central America on August 12. The disturbance gradually grew more organized, and became Tropical Storm Hilary off the coast of Manzanillo, Colima, on August 16. Hilary quickly strengthened into a hurricane the next day. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Hilary_(2023 )   Hilary made landfall at about 11 a.m. local time Sunday, along the Mexican coast in a sparsely populated area about 150 miles south of Ensenada. In Astrometeorology, the cardinal solar ingress chart has a strong influence on the weather.  The chart for the summer solstice (Cancer ingress of the Sun) has the Sun anchored to a powerful T-square straddling the hor

  INDIAN WITH SCALP LOCKS China announced a crackdown on the export of the rare earth metals gallium and germanium, which are used to build computer chips.

It creates a crisis but also an opportunity for innovation and growth. ( Also think of Uranus as (electronics) and Taurus as (rare earths))   Uranus is often indifferent to the concerns of others.... conflict tends to build, with neither side backing down. The themes of ownership, mineral wealth and territory are all central to Taurus.   Taurus can be about taking, about making sure we have what serves our pleasure without regard for others . The raw materials and resources taken from faraway lands, the sovereignty seized and lives used up on cheap labour or servitude,

  "What makes life meaningful?"  This is an open-ended question asked in a 2021 survey by Pew Research Center to 17 advanced economies. Analysts found that while many people find meaning in their surroundings, both in terms of society and nature, some also mentioned religion.   As Statista's Anna Fleck shows in the following graphic, religion and spirituality was mentioned more frequently among US adults, compared to those living in other advanced economies. https://tinyurl.com/3pmzajav   This information is no surprise to anyone who cares to look at the US chart. The US national chart - the Sibly has the zodiacal sign Sagittarius rising. In his book The Astrology of America’s Destiny , Dane Rudhyar wrote:   I contend that America on the whole has found and should find the path to self-realization — that is, to who she is as a collective person — through the kind of religious approach characterizing the sign Sagittarius.

  The Argentine peso, already at historic lows, puked immediately after far-right political outsider Javier Milei won the country's primary election on Sunday. He wants a dramatic overhaul of the country's entire political and economic system, even vowing to ditch the peso. .. After winning 30% of the vote, beating the main conservative opposition bloc (at 28%) and the ruling Peronist coalition which came in third place, it's being hailed in Argentine media as a "political earthquake"....Milei is a rock-singing libertarian outsider candidate, an admirer of Donald Trump and self-described anarcho-capitalist... https://tinyurl.com/3cb866bj   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.

  In early August 2023, a series of wildfires broke out in the U.S. state of Hawaii. Affecting the island of Maui, and to a lesser extent Hawaiʼi (also known as the Big Island), the wind-driven fires prompted evacuations, caused widespread damage, and killed at least 36 people in the town of Lahaina. By August 9, a state of emergency was declared for the entirety of Hawaii.[2] This followed a first emergency proclamation signed on August 8, authorizing several actions, including activation of the National Guard. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Hawaii_wildfires       The Sun square the Nodes is a phenomena known as “Moon Wobble”.

Progressing the chart to Aug. 8, the date of the fire, has the Grand Cross straddling the horizon and is thereby triggered. During Moon Wobble the ins

  The Chinese nuclear safety body has given the go-ahead for the nation’s inaugural thorium reactor, a major step in its march towards advanced nuclear technologies.   Located in the Gobi desert city of Wuwei, in Gansu province, the Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences operates a 2-MW liquid-fuelled thorium molten salt reactor (MSR). On June 7, the National Nuclear Safety Administration issued a permit granting the Shanghai Institute the ability to run the reactor for a decade starting with trial operations. The Shanghai Institute is mandated to ensure the safety of the reactor in accordance with applicable laws, regulations and technical specifications laid out in the permit.  https://tinyurl.com/5ck4zwh7     Thorium-based nuclear power plants have the potential to be more secure, produce less radioactive waste, and be more efficient with fuel than conventional uranium reactors.
