After years of intense political, economic and social crisis caused by the death of Hugo Chávez, the fall in oil prices and the economic war sponsored by the United States, Venezuela’s economy began to recover. The United Nations Development Program (UNDP) study published in April reported a 2.6% growth in Venezuela’s GDP in 2023 and estimated that in 2024 growth will be 4.2%. ...China and Russia are very involved with the Venezuelan government and this is an important pillar of support for Maduro, whose government has been reaping good results from this alliance – and from agreements with other countries, such as India, Turkey and Iran. Unlike the last crisis, in 2019, the two main neighbors (Brazil and Colombia) are now governed by presidents allied with Maduro.  An indication of the recovery and stabilization in Venezuela is the fact that the country has left the international news headlines in recent years. The major international media outlets are clearly anti-Chavista and take a

  Massive landslides hit Kerala’s Wayanad district in the early hours of July 30, which buried a large area under debris, killing at least 89 people and leaving scores injured. The death toll is likely to go up further given the number of people missing. As per the Kerala State Disaster Management Authority, landslides occurred in Meppadi panchayat, Vythiri taluk of Wayanad district, at around 3.49 am on July 30.   In mundane astrology, the cardinal ingresses of the Sun (entry into the four cardinal signs/ constellations, i.e. 00 deg of Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn ) have a traditional reputation as important mundane events. Presented here is the Cancer ingress of the Sun (current cardinal ingress) drawn for Meppadi. Our attention is drawn to the Mars-Pluto square on the angles that has been triggered by transit Sun [7le17] on July 30 reaching a square to Mars [8ta36]. Among other things Pluto is the sudden release of nature’s forces that create devastation. The Sabian symbol fo

  Adam Elenbaas in his July 29 post, Venus Appearing As Evening Star and Squaring Uranus [1] discusses this important aspect coming up that will affect people who have elements of their chart at about 26 degrees of the Fixed Signs i.e. Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius.   A Venus-Uranus square can be disruptive, jarring or challenging for relationships. If we have siiting on feelings of restlessness and frustration within an existing relationship and have little or nothing to improve the situation, the square could signify a separation or parting of ways. As the transit takes effect (roughly the first week of Aug), pressure builds uo to such a point that we finally voice or act on our growing frustration. If we don’t do something to change the situation, unexpected external circumstances probably will do the job for us.   At Delhi, India the Venus-Uranus square will straddle the meridian so that it may affect political alliances in the government.   Venus will be placed conjunc

  ASEAN countries have expressed interest in Russia’s idea of forming a new security architecture in Eurasia, as they understand that the West is pushing for narrower formats within ASEAN to restrain China and Russia, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said during a press conference following the ASEAN Summit on Saturday..."The West is still pushing for narrower formats with an outspoken goal, it does not hide it — to restrain China and Russia. Our ASEAN partners understand this perfectly well and have shown interest in the initiative of [Russian] President [Vladimir] Putin, which I have already mentioned, of a Eurasian security system that would be indivisible and equal," Lavrov said at a press conference following the Russia-ASEAN meeting and the ministerial meeting of the East Asia Summit in Laos.

An underwater discovery has emerged from the depths of the Submerged Archaeological Park of Baiae in Bacoli, Italy. Archaeologists have uncovered an exquisite marble floor belonging to an ancient Roman villa. This discovery, part of an ongoing restoration project, showcases ancient Rome’s artistic and architectural sophistication. July 20 https://archaeologymag.com/2024/07/marble-floor-of-sunken-roman-villa-discovered-in-italy/   When we insist on too narrow orbs for traditional aspects, we can neglect the importance of the angles and how they can bring together planets that would otherwise be looked upon as separating in aspect.   Presented here is the chart drawn for the Full Moon at Bacoli, Italy. TNPS Kronos-Hades are on the MC, Neptune is on the descendant and TNP Cupido is on the IC. For all practical purposes, this is a T-square and together can refer to:   An ancient (Hades) aristocratic/upmarket (Kronos) villa (Cupido).   Cupido is not only “housing/residence” but also

  Castor and Pollux - the Horsemen The live NBC broadcast kicks off with a pre-show at noon ET Friday, and the ceremony itself begins at 7:30 p.m. Paris time, or 1:30 p.m. ET. The prime-time encore telecast, which features additional content, will air later in the day for U.S. viewers, at 7:30 p.m. ET. The ceremony is expected to be over four hours.   In mundane astrology, the cardinal ingresses of the Sun (entry into the four cardinal signs/ constellations, i.e. 00 deg of Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn ) have a traditional reputation as important mundane events. Presented here is the July 17 ingress of the Sun into the constellation of Cancer drawn for Paris.   The ingress Sun is placed very significantly on the Ascendant among stars of the Gemini Twins, Castor and Pollux.  About the Twins Castor and Pollux, Wikipedia has:  They became the gods of sailing and horsemanship. ... Pollux and Castor were also known for their boxing abilities and were thus t he gods of athletes a

       The world is 'greening' at an astonishing and rapidly growing rate and deserts are shrinking almost everywhere you look. All due, it seems, to a natural rise in carbon 'plant food' dioxide, not forgetting the small annual 4% portion contributed by humans burning hydrocarbons. Inconvenient to the political Net Zero narrative of course - along with high numbers of polar bears, cyclical recovery in Arctic sea ice and recent record growth of coral on the Great Barrier Reef - so there is naturally little mention in mainstream media and politics. "Desertification is turning the Earth barren," reports the Guardian, and the expansion of drylands is leaving entire countries "facing famine". Great story, shame about the facts. A recent article in Yale Environment 360 states that rather than shrivelling and dying, vegetation is growing faster and deserts are retreating. https://www.sott.net/article/493378-Flip-flop-Global-greening-becomes-so-obvious-

  If ye lay bound upon the wheel of change, And no way were of breaking from the chain, The Heart of boundless Being is a curse, The Soul of Things fell Pain.   Ye are not bound! the Soul of Things is sweet, The Heart of Being is celestial rest; Stronger than woe is will: that which was Good Doth pass to Better — Best.   I, Buddh, who wept with all my brothers' tears, Whose heart was broken by a whole world's woe, Laugh and am glad, for there is Liberty! Ho! ye who suffer! know   Ye suffer from yourselves. None else compels, None other holds you that ye live and die, And whirl upon the wheel, and hug and kiss Its spokes of agony.   The Light of Asia: Sir Edwin Arnold   Congratulations to all European Union citizens. With the re-election of Ursula von der Leyen, you can all expect more of the same. It should be of further comfort to Europeans within the bloc that 284 of 401 elected parliamentarians voted to put the Queen of vaccines and European militarism

  A man died after being struck by lightning near the summit of Germany's highest peak, police said Monday. The 18-year-old German resident was one of a group of three young men who took the mountain railway up the Zugspitze late Sunday afternoon and then continued to the summit, which is a climb of about 80 meters (260 feet) from a terrace used by many visitors. https://www.sott.net/article/493336-Man-dies-after-being-struck-by-lightning-on-Germanys-highest-peak   Many events like the one here can be explained from the charts of monthly lunations. The tragic accident took place on Sunday, July 21, the day of the Full Moon. A chart for the Full Moon at Zugspitze is shown here.   On the Ascendant are stars of Corvus and Draconis for which, Diana Rosenberg has “lightning and electrical events”. And for stars Sirius and Canopus on the MC with TNPs Kronos (mountains) - Hades (messy situations) she has “travel disasters caused by weather conditions”. Mars (rash or impulsive actio

A chart for the April 8, Aries solar eclipse at Los Angeles, CA has it placed very significantly in the 10 th house with its associated Grand Cross straddling the horizon axis. And further if we progress the eclipse chart to July 16, the date of the news, we will notice that the eclipse has reached

  'Won't Help Ukraine...': UK PM Starmer Shocks Zelensky With Clear Refusal To Take On Russia   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5x5EQciuCI   Synastry is the art of relationship astrology. It is a fascinating and illuminating study of how individuals or groups interact with one another. No matter how hard we try we cannot get away from the issues that our relationship charts bring up. 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 UK [1] and Ukraine [2].   The current UK’s directed Sun hard aspects to Ukraine’s chart elements are as under:   Sun [19le15] ----> Sappho[16le] - Pluto[18sc] - Atropos [20le] - MC [20sc] - Siwa [20aq]   ( Ukraine’s solar arc directed Ascendant is [18aq32] so in its own chart it is triggering the same elements above...proving once again that it is not as t

        The biggest event for the West in the past week was the announcement of a military government in the US on July 9th. This announcement was made during the NATO 75th anniversary summit meeting in Washington DC. In case you missed it, here it is on the official White House website:  https://tinyurl.com/ybu45hz9   https://benjaminfulford.net/in-case-you-missed-it-the-us-now-has-a-military-government/     A silent military coup has taken place in the US under the influence of of the July 4 th New Moon. At Washington, DC, the New Moon was part of a Grand Cross that straddles the meridian. The New Moon square the Nodes is a phenomenon known as a Moon Wobble which has been linked to “political upheavals”. Here the New Moon is conjunct the TNPs Kronos-Hades which is about the deterioration of the executive function or the decline of leadership.    In addition, the stars on the angles add surprising details about what is happening.   For stars on the MC [12li41] and wit

  “I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from consciousness. We cannot get behind consciousness. Everything that we talk about, everything that we regard as existing, postulates consciousness.”   - Max Planck Patients with lupus have an imbalance in a crucial chemical pathway in their bodies, according to a Nature study published on Wednesday...Dr. Jaehyuk Choi, associate professor of dermatology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Chicago), and the study’s senior author, explained to The Epoch Times that AHR can be compared to “a molecular switch” that determines the fate of immune cells. By developing therapeutics that target AHR in rogue T-cells, researchers believe they may be able to reverse lupus. https://www.zerohedge.com/medical/scientists-find-cause-lupus-and-way-potentially-reverse-it   Presented here is the chart for the Mars-Uranus conjunction at Chicago where the study’s lead author is based.

    HEPHAISTOS - the lame Greek god Ukrainians seeking to avoid being mobilized for the fight against Russia can now have their legs broken by medical professionals, local media reported on Wednesday, citing advertisements on social media. According to the Ukrainian outlet TSN, ads with the morbid offer appeared on several Telegram channels in the city of Dnepr, in the central part of the country, but were quickly removed. https://www.rt.com/russia/600813-ukraine-mobilization-dodging-break-legs/       The phases of the Moon are among the most reliable indicators of events on earth so that astrologers routinely draw charts for the lunations to assess the nature of the energies acting at any place. As always planets appearing on the angles are the ones to focus on since they are specific for a place. Here the Ascendant for the July 6 th New Moon at Dnepr is [0ge].

  Tucker Reveals That Fauci Was Paid to Create the Covid Pandemic! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDZLbT3_bvk   In a previous post Dr. Anthony Fauci – The Celestial Punisher , I wrote:   Dr. Fauci’s (b. 24 Dec. 1940, Brooklyn,NY) prenatal solar eclipse (1 October 1940) was part of the Saros Series 133. The First Eclipse in this series took place on July 13, 1219 at [26cn42] conjunct Praesepe, M44 Cancri, “The Beehive”. In China this was Tíen Soung, The Celestial Punisher, presiding over sickness, death and extermination. Another name was Fou-Tchi, The Cutlass used for slaughtering sacrificial animals.   We must remember that eclipses and other celestial phenomena apply more to people in the limelight rather than to ordinary folks. What a coincidence that Dr. Fauci’s name actually fits the name of the Chinese asterism! And isn’t he living out his destiny by being the instrument of extermination? https://tinyurl.com/44mp2c4s   Taking off from the above post, we now have the f
