  The Virgin and the Raven Former US president and current presidential candidate Donald Trump has been found guilty of falsifying business records to influence the 2016 election, in a case related to alleged ‘hush money’ payments to porn actress Stormy Daniels. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, a Democrat, charged Trump last year with 34 counts of criminal behavior, alleging that the Republican politician sought “to conceal damaging information and unlawful activity from American voters before and after the 2016 election.” https://www.rt.com/news/598493-us-court-convicts-trump/       Apart from the Pluto return, perhaps the most significant transit in the US Sibly that explains the Trump trial and the dirty politics that appears to affect the entire US leadership is the current movement of the TNPs Hades/Kronos over the Sibly Sun. While this is a slow moving transit that has been active for some time, the movement of the nodal axis [14ar-li] over the 10 th house Saturn [

  An archeological site in the former Italian city has revealed children’s stick figure doodles of gladiator battles, indicating that Roman youth as young as five or seven attended the violent shows, according to the experts who assessed the drawings.   Recent archeological research at I’Insula dei Casti Amanti (part of Pompeii's Archaeological Park) comes amid a stream of discoveries, during which a team of specialists recovered children's charcoal drawings that are nearly 2 millennia old. https://tinyurl.com/ysber9bv       Below is an extract from a previous post Mars-Saturn conjunction: Artworks uncovered in Pompeii excavation [1].   It may be difficult for most of us to believe that major discoveries like this one take place when relevant planetary configurations occur. Presented here is the chart for the Mars-Saturn conjunction on April 10 at the co-ordinates of Pompei. We immediately notice that the alignment takes place very significantly on the 4th house cusp (I

  The paradox is that Team Biden – wholly inadvertently – is midwifing the birth of a ‘new world’. It is doing so by dint of its crude opposition to parturition. The more the western élites push against the birthing – through ‘saving Zionism’; ‘saving European Ukraine’ and by crushing dissent – perversely they accelerate the foundering of Leviathan.    President Xi’s double farewell hug for President Putin following their 16-17 May summit nonetheless sealed the birth – even the New York Times, with customary self-absorption, termed the warm embrace by Xi as ‘defiance of the West’. https://strategic-culture.su/news/2024/05/27/brink-dissolution-neurosis-in-west-as-levee-breaks/     In astrology, synastry refers to the comparison of two individuals’ birth charts to understand the dynamics of their relationship. Each planet (and its progression) in one person’s chart interacts with the planets in the other person’s chart, creating a unique tapestry of energies. This concept can also be

  A woman holding a bag out of a window Hunter Biden’s laptop is real. With those words and pictures like this one of Biden using crack, the Justice Department introduced the Hunter Biden laptop as evidence in his upcoming trial over federal gun violations.  The federal prosecutors went on to denounce suggestions of Russian disinformation, long peddled by the Bidens, the media and former intelligence officials, as nothing more than a “conspiracy theory.”...The response from the media has been a collective shrug. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/laptop-real-justice-department-denounces-claims-russian-disinformation-biden-conspiracy     Presented here is Hunter Biden’s natal chart. The current Primary Mundane directions in this chart are (a) directed Mars conjunct radix Sun (b) directed Uranus opposite radix Sun. In this chart Sun (9 th house) is not only conjunct Venus (ruler of 12 th ) but is also square TNP Hades (12 th house). The 9 th house rules “law courts” while the

The Great Storm Bird A large tornado was confirmed, according to CBS News Texas meteorologist Jeff Ray. Multiple rotations were spotted in the impacted areas. Storm damage was reported across North Texas. Overturned semi-trucks were reported on I-35. There were reports of injuries throughout the night. The towns and cities of Anna, Melissa, Lane, Celeste, Hogeye, Kingston, Midway, White Rock, Wolfe City, Jacobia, Aberfoyle and South Sulphur appeared to have been in or were near its path. May 26 https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/severe-weather-threat-continues-in-north-texas/       An eclipse can be activated by the passage of a planet over the eclipse degree. As the news of the tornado comes in, Mars [19ar] is transiting conjunct the degree of the April 8 solar eclipse [19ar]. Presented here is the chart of the eclipse drawn for Anna, Texas. Notice its significant placement on the upper meridian. The South Node on the lower meridian is conjunct stars of Corvus, the Raven.  

  The wingtips of two Japan Airlines (JAL) passenger planes collided at Tokyo's Haneda Airport on Thursday morning, local media reported. JAL said the incident occurred at around 7:30 a.m. local time. Both aircraft sustained damage, but no injuries were reported, public broadcaster NHK said. May 23 https://tinyurl.com/23feasp7   In this post we shall see an example of how the effect of a planetary conjunction can be felt days later. Here is the chart for the Sun-Uranus conjunction of May 13 that fell very significantly on the descendant at Tokyo. Ten days later on May 23, transit Moon [23sc] was moving over the Ascendant and opposite the degree of the Sun-Uranus conjunction [23ta] triggering the “accident”.   But the chart reveals surprising details. The Sun-Uranus conjunction is in hard aspect to Mars [9ar] which is one leg of a T-square comprising Hades-Kronos-Nodes-Mars . Mars[9ar] is conjunct the star Algenib [9ar] in the wing tip of the Flying Horse! [1] Martha Wescott l

  Rishi Sunak has vowed to "fight for every vote" as he called an early UK general election for Thursday 4 July. The PM made the announcement in a rain-soaked speech outside 10 Downing Street, as he bids to win a fifth term in office for the Conservatives. The surprise move overturned expectations of an autumn poll, which might have given the Tories a better chance of closing the gap with Labour. May 23 https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-69050450     In this post we shall see how the Oct 23 solar eclipse is beginning to create serious problems for the Sunak government. But before that here is an extract from Gray Crawford that summarizes the essence of the eclipse.   The paradoxical nature of eclipses correspond with an unraveling of ties that have bound us to previous conceptions, a loosening of our fixation upon the way things have been. New storylines emerge from the fertile void while old narratives dissolve into the black.  The Solar Eclipse in Libra is aligned wi

  The Light of Asia, or The Great Renunciation (Mahâbhinishkramana), is a book by Sir Edwin Arnold. The first edition of the book was published in London in July 1879 . In the form of a narrative poem, the book endeavours to describe the life and time of Prince Gautama Buddha, who, after attaining enlightenment, became the Buddha, The Awakened One.    A solar eclipse on July 19, 1879, at [26cn19] marks the publication of the book. Cancer 27 (26° - 27°) Storm in a canyon filled with expensive homes CRISIS LEADING TO TRANSFORMATION Eventually our lives are disturbed by forces that call ​attention to the transient and shallow nature of luxuries.   The degree symbol describes well the challenge faced by the Buddha. Born a Prince who renounced his life of luxury.  Presented here is the chart for the eclipse drawn for London. In this post we look at some significant points about this chart.   First the Minor Arcana Tarot card linked to the third decan of Cancer, where the eclipse fal

  Two of Swords The challenge of witnessing a historic event in real time isn’t to notice it. That’s the easy part. What’s hard is to understand its meaning for the future, which is what historic events are really all about. Recent news from the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague have confirmed that rule. Its prosecutor, Karim Khan, has applied for arrest warrants that will make history one way or the other. May 22; https://www.rt.com/news/598059-hague-netanyahu-hamas-israel/     Presented here is (a) the chart for the March 28, 2024 lunar eclipse in Libra at the Hague (b) its progression to May 22, 2024 when it aligns with the meridian and is thereby activated   Eclipses demarcate periods of accelerated change, even more so than normal when in the cardinal signs of Libra and Aries...Since this is the second in a sequence of eclipses in Libra, you will likely notice important transitions, endings, or new storylines connected with narratives that began developing af

  After India pursued a deal with Iran on the Chabahar Port, the US responded by threatening New Delhi with sanctions. This has exposed a possible growing geopolitical incompatibility between the two countries over the past several years, even as the US championed India as a critical strategic partner against China. https://www.rt.com/news/597650-relations-between-india-us/     In the realm of astrology, synastry refers to the comparison of two individuals’ birth charts to understand the dynamics of their relationship. Each planet (and its progression) in one person’s chart interacts with the planets in the other person’s chart, creating a unique tapestry of energies.   In this post we look at the major progressed synastry between the charts of India and the US.     DYNAMIC REPORT   Dynamic Chart (P1):  Sibly - Natal Chart  4 Jul 1776 NS, 17:10, LMT +5:00:39  Philadelphia Pennsylvania, 39°N57'08'', 075°W09'51''     Radix Positions Chart (P2):  India

  Sanjana, a tailor’s daughter from Kota, has risen to the top in Kota district in the dabi trade. May 20  https://lognews.in/a-tailors-daughter-has-secured-twelfth-rank-in-commerce-stream-aiming-to-become-ias/     The result of an eclipse can be felt well after its actual occurrence, most often when triggered by passing transit planets. Presented here is the chart for the March 28 lunar eclipse which fell very significantly on the meridian at Kota, India. As the news of the success of a tailor’s daughter comes in, Mars is transiting over the Aries North Node [15ar] conjunct the eclipse Sun [5ar].   Conjunct the North Node is the star Alpheratz:   Alpheratz, the head of Princess Andromeda, and Alderamin, the Alpha star of King Cepheus. Making passage through the tumultuous waters of life, and the means to do so, is of issue. Alpheratz is one of four stars of the Great Square of Pegasus and is part of Andromeda and Pegasus both. As Alpha Andromeda, it is the head (psyche) of the

  President Ebrahim Raisi was travelling over East Azerbaijan province, located in Iran’s northwest, when his helicopter made a "hard landing," statements from Tehran have outlined. He was returning from a visit to the country of Azerbaijan on Sunday. Poor weather conditions have been reported. https://www.rt.com/news/597844-raisi-iran-president-helicopter/   The phases of the Moon are among the most reliable indicators of events on earth. 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 May 15 at Tehran.   The Sun-Moon are significantly placed in hard aspect to the angles. On the MC conjunct the TNPs Kronos-Hades are the stars Sirius and Canopus. About events in this area, Diana Rosenberg has: Travel disasters caused by weather conditions. Among other things, Martha Wescott relates the TNP Kronos to “heights, people in authoritative posi

  Celestial Ship - Argo Navis   Taking off from yesterday’s post, Russia and the birth of a decentralized monetary order , I invite readers to look at Russia (1) and China’s (2) chart with emphasis only on Venus-Pluto.  In (1) Venus/Pluto squares the horizon..in (2) Venus/Pluto straddles the meridian and Russia’s Asc-Dsc axis if we superimpose (2) on (1) .  Also Venus positions are essentially the same..close to the cusp of sidereal Scorpio so that the recent Jupiter/Uranus conjunction [22ta] has activated both countries’ Venus/Pluto. About this area Nick Fiorenza wrote:   Early sidereal Scorpio teaches us how to graduate from the karmic clutches of naivete, from falling prey as victims to the entrapping forces around us, fighting in struggle to live, and to realize that we experience a wide dynamic of forces that mold our experience; and that it is up to us to claim our mastery in the midst of these forces.

  Get ready for what may well be the geoeconomic bombshell of 2024: the coming of a decentralized monetary ecosystem. Welcome to The Unit – a concept that has already been discussed by the financial services and investments working group set up by the BRICS+ Business Council and has a serious shot at becoming official BRICS+ policy as early as in 2025. https://tinyurl.com/2trb777k           In his essay on the 2024 Jupiter-Uranus Conjunction, Brian Clark writes:   Both Jupiter and Uranus share an unrestrained, adventuresome, often stormy, character. As boundary crossers, both disrupt social and collective patterns through expansion, inflation, rebellion or interruption. The convergence of these two planets evokes images of innovative shifts in education, culture, religion and science, as well as liberation movements, original trends, and collective protests in response to an intensification of social inequality. It suggests a growth of Promethean qualities, a spirit of chan

  Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico was shot and wounded on Wednesday when multiple shots were fired at him as he greeted the public after a government meeting.  Fico was taken to hospital by his security detail after the shooting, while his attacker was detained by police. According to Deputy Prime Minister Tomas Taraba, Fico has survived the surgery and is expected to recover. https://www.rt.com/news/597641-slovakia-prime-minister-shot-updates/         National charts are a good place to start when trying to find root causes for such events as the one in the news above. The mundane horoscope of Solvakia [1] as provided by Campion in, "The Book of World Horoscopes," p. 335 is reproduced here. To understand the assassination attempt, we will confine ourselves to the elements of the Sun-Mars-Moon-Pluto combination which make hard aspects to each other.   On May 13, the Sun [23ta] was conjunct Uranus [23ta] with both opposite radix  Pluto [24sc ].
