  ... the conscious impotence of rage At human folly, and the laceration Of laughter at what ceases to amuse. And last, the rending pain of re-enactment Of all that you have done, and been; the shame Of things ill done and done to others' harm Which once you took for exercise of virtue. Then fools' approval stings, and honour stains. From wrong to wrong the exasperated spirit Proceeds, unless restored by that refining fire   - T. S.

    A Carrier Pigeon   It seems that over two hundred years after the Revolution, in France the Liberté part of its celebrated slogan has not really stuck. On Saturday 24 August, Russian social media platform entrepreneur Pavel Durov was arrested by the French police at La Bourget airport near Paris on trumped-up charges. The French authorities went about it in a sneaky third-world manner that does them no honour. They waited for Durov’s plane to enter French air space before issuing the arrest warrant. https://strategic-culture.su/news/2024/08/27/pavel-durov-the-quixotic-free-speech-hero-of-our-time/   Since the author of the article, refers to the French Revolution, it would be interesting to look at Pavel’s arrest through the lens of the horoscope of the First Republic [1]. And we are certainly not disappointed. Not only is there a Uranus-Pluto opposition aligned almost perfectly with the meridian. The solar arc progressed Sun [21ta] completes a perfect T-square with radix op

“What makes astrology supremely relevant is that it discloses an unsuspected dimension of the world we think we know so well. It is as though we have become accustomed to see only the horizontal yarn of the weaving, the weft, and are largely unaware of the warp. We are accustomed to break down our world, in order to understand it, into certain categories, recognizing what belongs to this category, what belongs to that. That is ‘scientific’. However, astrology is about learning to think in new categories. It embodies a system of new categories that are as different from the ones to which we are habituated, as the warp is from the weft. 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. Conversely, things we naturally tend to associate may be distributed otherwise in the astrological scheme. Understanding the world around us depends on our power to perceive patterns of meaning, to make the rig

It started with bombings and gunfire targeting a national military camp in Pakistan’s Baluchistan Province, which left at least one soldier dead.   https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/pakistan-over-70-dead-gunmen-storm-highways-execute-civilians-24-hours-terror   Many news events can be simply explained by charts drawn for the monthly lunations.

  President Vladimir Putin on Monday signed a decree allowing foreign citizens and stateless individuals to apply for temporary residency in the country if they share “traditional Russian spiritual and moral values,” even in cases when a person does not speak Russian.  Aug 19 https://tinyurl.com/mcvj736y   This new policy is seen as a response to the ongoing tensions with Western countries, according to Russian news agency TASS. The decree is aimed at those who share what the Russian government describes as “traditional Russian spiritual and moral values.” It offers a refuge for individuals who feel disillusioned with the policies of their own countries, particularly those influenced by Western neoliberal ideologies, the official statement read.   About the Full Moon, the August Astrodienst newsletter states:   You may suddenly desire to try something completely new, give up what you are used to, and leave everything behind...Take such impulses and events seriously, as they indic

  Three people were killed and four more were seriously wounded during a stabbing spree at the Festival of Diversity in the German city of Solingen on Friday evening, police said. The sole suspect remains at large.   According to eyewitnesses, the perpetrator started attacking people at random at around 9:45 pm local time at Solingen’s Fronhof square, where many arrived to celebrate the city’s 650th anniversary.   https://www.rt.com/news/603007-stabbing-rampage-germany-solingen/   In Germany’ chart  (24 May 1949; 0:00 CET, Berlin) perhaps the most important current solar direction is Sun [14le] conjunct radix Pluto [14le] triggering the Mars-Pluto - 4 th - 7 th square. The August New Moon [13le] fell within about a degree to the Sun-Pluto directed conjunction. At 9:45 pm, the reported time of the event, on Aug.23 the Ascendant is [14ta] triggering the Sun-Pluto direction. So you can see how the “hour”, “minute” and “second” hands of the cosmic clock worked together to precipit

  The Ancient Dance Between Eros and Thanatos Several years ago I came across a news article which shook me to the core. It was about a highly accomplished 104-year old British-Australian botanist, David Goodall. He travelled from Australia to Basel, Switzerland, to self-destruct by taking advantage of the liberal Swiss law which allows suicide on demand. Aug 22 https://strategic-culture.su/news/2024/08/22/the-spirit-of-thanatos-haunts-moribund-west/   In his essay The spirit of Thanatos haunts a moribund Wes t Stephen Karganovic discusses the death of British-Australian botanist, David Goodall using him as an example of how the modern West scornfully rejects transcendence and disdains its gifts.   The reason I thought Goodall’s story was extraordinary is that his desire to end a long and apparently rewarding life by assisted suicide was for none of the reasons one would normally suppose. He was successful and honoured in his profession. He was not suffering from a terminal or excr

  As the Kiev regime has de facto banned the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate (UOC-MP), Western globalist elites are seeking to get their hands on Ukraine's cultural treasures, including those belonging to the UOC-MP.   https://sputnikglobe.com/20240822/western-globalist-vultures-set-to-prey-on-ukraines-orthodox-treasures-1119876329.html     This news is best understood if we look at the current transits in the Ukraine chart. The TNP Poseidon (religion and spirituality) placed in the 9 th house (church and religion) is square Saturn [1aq] (tradition, orthodox). Transit Pluto [1aq] is moving over Saturn and will station exactly square Poseidon in October. Saturn is conjunct stars of Aquila. About Aquila, in the Constellation of Stars, Anne Wright writes:  In the IlkhanianTables, as perhaps elsewhere, it was Gups Petomenos, the Flying Vulture; the Turks call it Taushaugjil, their Hunting Eagle; — all these for the three bright stars. The Hebrews knew it a

  Hercules attacks the Centaurs A lot of AMC folks on social media demand something radical like Russia striking targets in NATO and/or having Wagner carry out cross-border incursions against its frontline members from Belarus, but neither are likely to materialize.  Time and again, Russia consistently refuses to escalate, only doing the bare minimum of what its most zealous supporters in the AMC demand when it finally decides to do something out of the ordinary.  The reason for this (some would say too) cautious approach is Putin’s fear of inadvertently triggering World War III, which he’s afraid might become inevitable if Russia radically responds to its foes’ provocations due to the fast-moving sequence of events that it could lead to.   https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/dont-expect-radical-response-russia-washingtons-involvement-ukraines-invasion-kursk     Synastry is the art of relationship astrology.

  British technology tycoon Mike Lynch is among six tourists missing, The Independent understands. Mr Lynch, who founded software giant Autonomy in 1996, was made an OBE for services to enterprise in 2006. In June, he was cleared of conducting a massive fraud relating to a $11 billion (£8.64bn) sale to US company Hewlett Packard. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/bayesian-yacht-sinking-sicily-italy-map-b2598785.html     The luxury yacht sunk off the coast of Palermo, Sicily around 5 am on Monday Aug. 19. On this date we not only have a Full Moon but also a T-square between Venus-Jupiter-Saturn. Presented here is the chart for the exact Venus-Jupiter square drawn for Palermo. Notice that it is significant for place as it straddles the horizon.  From Ebertin’s Combination of Stellar Influences , we have: Venus-Jupiter (-) disadvantages through wastefulness or through too rich living ... with Saturn: destroyed hopes.   In a root cause analysis, it is always best to st

  Moses crossing the Red Sea The Red Sea crossing, one of the Bible’s most dramatic events, has long been a subject of reverence and skepticism. For centuries, this miraculous tale of divine intervention and deliverance has captivated believers, while raising questions among historians and scientists. Aug 15   https://medium.com/lessons-from-history/scientists-finally-found-evidence-for-mosess-red-sea-crossing-6ea440178d42     The biblical account of the Red Sea crossing is a cornerstone of the Exodus story, found in the Book of Exodus in the Old Testament. This narrative details the escape of the Israelites from Egyptian slavery under the leadership of Moses. After enduring harsh treatment and plagues sent by God, Pharaoh finally allows the Israelites to leave Egypt. However, he soon changes his mind and sends his army to pursue them. The Israelites, trapped between the advancing Egyptian forces and the Red Sea, face what seems to be an impossible situation. The rest of the story

  A Caged Animal A volcano near a major naval base on Russia's eastern coast erupted early Sunday after a powerful magnitude-7.0 earthquake struck in the Pacific about 63 miles away, according to Russian state-run media.   It was triggered by a powerful 7.0 magnitude earthquake off the east coast of Russia's Kamchatka peninsula at 7.10am local time on Sunday (8.10 pm UK time on Saturday), according to the US Geological Survey (USGS)   The Full Moon in Aquarius on August 19 comes with high tension. Two T-squares dominate the zodiac on this day. The Sun and Mercury oppose the Moon, each squaring Uranus, which forms the apex of the T-square.   Uranus (shocks,creative breakthroughs) and Taurus (earth) are an interesting combination to attempt to fathom. Taurus — the sign that, out of the entire zodiac, is the most resistant to change — meets the planet that insists upon it. Uranus challenges the status quo and forces both the individual and society to change and, in particular

  Three days ago,(Aug.15) in the aftermath of the WSJ report seeking to radically shift the narrative over the Nordstream sabotage, where instead of the CIA being blamed for the explosion of the critical gas pipeline from Russia to Europe, unnamed "intelligence" sources forged on with a hilarious script according to which a top Ukraine general (operating initially under the instructions of Zelensky but then going rogue wen Z got "cold feet") was responsible for coordinating the sabotage using a handful of rank amateurs who somehow managed to sneak to the bottom of the Baltic sea and conduct an unprecedented military operation, we said that - no matter the laughable veracity of the report - relations between Germany and Ukraine are "about to turn ugly", and we asked why this story is coming out just now? https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/beginning-end-germany-ban-all-new-ukraine-military-aid     One of Saturn’s primary functions is to protect, solidify,
