  Minerva - goddess of war   This week, the 79th General Assembly of the United Nations was held on the brink of world war. It should prompt pause and inquiry why an organization formed 79 years ago at the end of World War Two to prevent future wars is such a failure. Unbridled Western imperialism is and always has been at the root of global danger and impotence of the UN. The Second World War defeated specific forms of imperialism – Nazi Germany and Japan. It did not eradicate the disease of imperialism, which soon metastasized in the form of the United States and its Western partners. https://strategic-culture.su/news/2024/09/27/un-abject-failure-has-one-primary-cause-western-imperialism/     A study of the horoscope of the UN[1] can help us understand the problems it has faced so far and the possible way forward. On the Ascendant are two heavy weight TNPs Admetus and Hades. Asc-Admetus-Hades: the negativity or maliciousness of others are obstacles or hindrances to the achievement o

        The prime minister has had a two-hour dinner with former US President Donald Trump in New York.It is the first time Sir Keir Starmer and Trump have met. The pair were joined by Foreign Secretary David Lammy. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c2439897mg2o   Readers will recall that on Sept. 13, President Joe Biden and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer met at the White House to address the urgent question of granting Ukraine permission to use Western-made weapons to strike deeper inside Russia [1]   Subsequently we learnt that “the Pentagon has taken over, essentially, diplomacy as well as any action, militarily speaking, with regard to both theaters of war,” meaning Ukraine and Israel. and forced the President to back down” [2]   Starmer knows that if Donald Trump should return to the White House and decide to bring the Russia-Ukraine conflict to a close, as he has hinted, the UK would likely have to follow suit. This is the reason behind why UK is turning to Tru

    The EU is having a full-blown existential crisis. Someone has really screwed up its economy, and the culprit is conspicuously absent from a new report outlining the carnage. Are there no mirrors in Brussels? F ormer European Central Bank president and Italian prime minister, Mario Draghi, has published a new “economic competitiveness” report (on Sep. 9) after a year of work at the request of unelected ‘Queen’ Ursula von der Leyen’s ‘Royal’ European Commission. And it’s a real page-turner, one of the great mysteries of our times.  https://www.rt.com/news/603975-eu-mario-draghi-report/   Anyone with the slightest common sense could see where the EU was headed with the self-sabotaging policies of its leaders and yet in the 400-page document, Draghi cannot find a culprit responsible for the massive amount of economic carnage he details.   The New Moon of Sep. 3 at [11vi03] was conjunct Draghi’s [1] radix Sun and the star Zosma. “Denebola is of a foul breeze, indicative of smok

  In a 30-minute interview with Judge Napolitano on September 18, Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, former chief of staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell and critic of America’s wars, described a recent event in which Pentagon chief Gen. Lloyd Austin told President Biden that, in Wilkerson’s words, “the Pentagon has taken over, essentially, diplomacy as well as any action, militarily speaking, with regard to both theaters of war,” meaning Ukraine and Israel. Wilkerson added, “And so they're now in charge.” Austin, according to this telling, listened “to the people in the bowels of the Pentagon who know the truth” and forced the President to back down. Biden was furious, we’re told, but “took that advice.” Except, as Wilkerson tells it, it wasn’t advice, but instruction. “No dice,” as Wilkerson characterized the message, sounds pretty final.  https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/american-coup   Below are two extracts from previous posts [1][2] which read together explain the above ne

  Waking from a Dream Painting by Nancy Fruchtman    Britain’s debt has surpassed 100% of GDP, figures from the Office for National Statistics published this week show. The debt load – the UK’s highest since 1961, is attributable to an array of factors, among them the political class’s readiness to sacrifice the economic interests of ordinary Britons in favor of foreign elites, observers say. https://tinyurl.com/y45665tk   Here is an extract from a previous post UK will not help Ukraine against Russia [1]   We get more insights if we note that in UK’s chart the directed Sun [19le] is moving through the radix 11th house is square its radix Neptune [18sc] in the 2nd house.   Friendships (11) become tense over money/resource issues (2). Since a square creates tremendous stress friendships that have become smothering or suffocating in some way may breakdown under pressure.   And let us not forget that when Neptune is under pressure ...a common response is evasiveness or even downright de

  A FINGER POINTING IN AN OPEN BOOK Tirupati laddu [1] or SriVari laddu is the laddu sweet offered as Naivedhyam to Venkateswara at Tirumala Venkateswara Temple in Tirupati, Tirupati district, Andhra Pradesh, India. The laddu is given as prasadam to devotees after having the darshan in the temple. The Tirupati laddu controversy is a political issue that involves allegations of animal fat being used in the making of the consecrated sweet. The TDP spokesperson claimed that a lab report confirmed the presence of beef tallow, lard, and fish oil in ghee samples from the Tirupati laddu. The Andhra Pradesh government and the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) have not officially confirmed the lab report. Sept 21   In this post we endeavour to understand the news from the chart of the Sun-Neptune opposition that not only occurred on the same day but which was also significantly aligned with the horizon at Tirupati presenting the polarity between Virgo (Sun) and Pisces (Neptune) with both s

        The Federal Reserve on Wednesday cut interest rates for the first time since March 2020, as the central bank lowered the benchmark federal funds rate by 50 basis points amid progress in the fight against inflation....So why did the Fed pull the trigger on such a dramatic move on Wednesday?   Right now, we are less than 50 days away from the election, and this was the last opportunity that the Federal Reserve had to influence the outcome. A 50 basis point cut is inevitably going to provide a short-term economic boost, and the financial markets were thrilled when it was announced. In fact, it was being reported that stock prices were “exploding higher” on Thursday…Of course the Fed insists that cutting rates by 50 basis points had nothing to do with the election. But don’t let Fed officials fool you. They knew that a rate cut of this magnitude would cause stock prices to surge. And they waited until just the perfect moment to pull the trigger. The “sugar high” from this enorm

  Uranus castrated by Cronos/ Saturn At last month’s (19-22 Aug 2024) Democratic National Convention, men lined up to have themselves sterilized outside the conference center. You probably heard. So-called “reproductive rights” were one of the key issues of the Convention, which also had a giant inflatable IUD stationed close to the entrance, just in case attendees were in any doubt.  https://amgreatness.com/2024/09/17/emasculation-nation/   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. Myths and stories linked to the stars that form the backdrop to elements of the charts can be woven together providing clues to understanding the news.   The Democratic National Convention began on Aug 19 - the very day of the Full Moon whose chart at Chicago has it placed very significantly forming a Grand Cross with the horizon.

  A Child Born Out Of An Egg   How Your Trauma Actually HEALS (with Dr. Gabor Maté) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-64oZ-Kyhc4   Dr Gabor Maté | Authenticity Can Heal Trauma https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFLS1MTreGU     An eclipse close to a birth wraps the person up in its energy often forcing the person to adopt its agenda as a life mission. Gabor Mate ( 6 Jan 1944; Budapest) [1] was born just before a powerful total solar eclipse that fell very significantly on the horizon at Budapest with Pluto on the Ascendant opposite the South Node and the eclipse.    “Nightmare” is a useful word when Pluto lies in hard aspect to the South Node. Life is full of terrible possibilities…sadistic violence, accidents we can barely contemplate, the evil acts of lost souls. With this aspect one was probably touched by flat-out evil. As a result there exists a fear or rage or perhaps a morbidity that afflicts our mental equilibrium in this life. Paranoia about looming catastrophe can be proje

  In South Korea, a radical feminist movement called 4B tries to completely reshape patriarchy by rejecting any kind of relationships with men. What made thousands of women make this life changing decision and what consequences does it have within Korean society? Jun 18, 2024 https://www.scena9.ro/en/article/south-korea-men-women-radical-feminism-4b-misogyny-patriarchy     On 17 May 2016 with the Sun [26ta] conjunct the deadly star Algol, a Korean man stabbed to death a 23-year-old woman in a restroom in Gangnam, a rich neighborhood in Seoul. The 34-year-old suspect told police after his arrest that he had chosen a woman as his victim because he had felt “ignored and belittled” by women his whole life. The crime became known as the Gangnam Station Murder Case, sparked a series of protests and was one of the major contributing forces for the 2015-2016 feminism reboot in South Korea.   In the mundane horoscope of South Korea, we find the Moon in the 8 th house conjunct the asteroid

    “The difficulty lies not so much in developing new ideas as in escaping from old ones.” – John Maynard Keynes   The Parting of Ways The Full Moon lunar eclipse of Sept 17  is square Jupiter, sextile Uranus, conjunct Neptune, sextile Pluto. Exaggeration of perspectives, work or health matters will backfire. But there is also support for higher minded pursuits, pragmatic economic or resources issues. Edward Wollmann     The central issue here is to understand that the eclipse is highlighting a Jupiter-Neptune square that started as a conjunction about which Gray Crawford wrote:   The conjunction between Jupiter and Neptune will take place on April 12, 2022 at twenty-four degrees of Pisces. The combination of Jupiter and Neptune in Pisces will necessitate a descent into the dissolution of our previous beliefs, embodying the essence that will eventually coagulate out of the disintegrating stirring of our inner life. As a result, the disorientation and disillusionment that can oc

  Sabian   Gemini 21 (20° - 21°): A labour demonstration Members of the International Association of Machinists And Aerospace Workers, which represents 33,000 Boeing employees at factories near Seattle and elsewhere, overwhelmingly rejected a 'historic contract offer' with the troubled planemaker and voted to go on strike. Sep. 13 https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/spooky-boeing-workers-go-strike-first-strike-2008     World events when understood in the light of passing planetary transits help to increase our understanding of the myriad ways that planetary combinations can express themselves.     In [1] we had a demonstration of common sense when the US showed restraint (Saturn) amid the allies pushing for a risky endeavour (Jupiter) to give long range weapons to Ukraine.   In [2] we saw the German government being cautious (Saturn) and not allowing its borders to be invaded (security) against the demand to alllow free movement of immigrants (Jupiter).

  Henry Hazlitt In July of 1944, a year and some months before the official end to the Second World War, allied powers gathered at the Bretton Woods Hotel in New Hampshire to hammer out a new economic order that would dominate the world at war’s end.In the early days of the conference, the New York Times (NYT) editorialized against the scheme. T he pen behind the unsigned editorials was the great economist Henry Hazlitt. Hazlitt criticized the proposed new monetary system. He said that by making the dollar the world reserve currency, and guaranteeing convertibility into gold only by large trading nations, the new system could not last. This is because there was no mechanism to police nations’ fiscal and monetary policies. The new system would enable endless expansion of money and credit abroad without consequence. The United States would experience, eventually, a devastating gold outflow. At some point in the future, he predicted, the United States would have to suspend convertibility
