      Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu underwent successful surgery Sunday to have his prostate removed, hospital officials said, a procedure that came as he manages multiple crises including the war in Gaza and his trial for alleged corruption.   Netanyahu, who has had a series of health issues in recent years, has gone to great lengths to bolster a public image of himself as a healthy, energetic leader. During his trial this month, he boasted about working 18-hour days, accompanied by a cigar. But as Israel’s longest-serving leader, such a grueling workload over a total of 17 years in power could take a toll on his well-being. https://edition.cnn.com/2024/12/29/middleeast/netanyahu-prostate-operation-successful-intl-latam/index.html   Most astrologers are aware of the method of secondary progressions, in which one progresses the natal chart forward at the rate of one day per year. However, other progression techniques are also viable and accurate ...

      This is going to be controversial to many, but I am going to tell it like I see it, so damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead. The Biden administration, set up as it was by the Obama administration, has been a clear and present danger to the United States of America. In almost every way imaginable. It has tanked an economy that otherwise was on the way to (an almost inevitable) rapid, post-pandemic recovery, causing pain to countless American families. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/there-no-pardoning-biden-administration   The greatest truths about ourselves are learnt through interaction with others. It is easy to blame Joe Biden for the present difficult condition of the US. Carl Jung believed that psychological projection is a defense mechanism where people attribute their own traits, feelings, thoughts, or behaviors onto others. He thought that projection is a way to keep negative emotions at bay by placing them outside of ourselves.   Astrologers ...

  Electrical Cable Rupture This week saw yet another incident of alleged submarine cable sabotage in the Baltic Sea. A power line running along the seabed from Finland to Estonia was reportedly disrupted. Western news media have fingered a tanker carrying Russian crude oil as being responsible, with the implication that the damage was caused deliberately. https://strategic-culture.su/news/2024/12/27/fishy-story-of-cable-sabotage-in-baltic-sea/   On 25 December 2024 at 12:26 EET, the Estlink 2 submarine power cable had an unplanned failure, reducing the Estonia–Finland cross-border capacity from 1,016 MW to 358 MW. The Finnish transmission system operator Fingrid expects the failure to last until August 2025. https://tinyurl.com/yvjk79y8   Coincidence is the visible aspect of a more pervasive framework of design that underlies all experiences. The events in our lives are connected by an intricate chain of linked analogies and astrology offers a way to see these connec...

      India’s 13th prime minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh, who passed away on Thursday night after losing consciousness at his home in New Delhi, will be noted as one of the most historically significant people to lead his country. He opened up the economy, gained America’s confidence in India in the post-Cold War 21st century, pushed through a host of social legislation, and laid the groundwork for digitization of the economy.  https://www.rt.com/india/610084-manmohan-singh-indias-greatest-statesman/     India gained its independence on August 15, 1947 at the stroke of the midnight hour.

  A German man who was recently exonerated after spending 13 years in prison for a crime he did not commit has been presented with a €100,000 ($104,000) bill for his incarceration expenses, sparking widespread condemnation...The decision has sparked public outrage and debate over the fairness of the policy. Advocacy groups argue that billing an exonerated individual for their imprisonment adds insult to injury and highlights systemic flaws in the justice system’s handling of wrongful convictions. Dec 25 https://www.rt.com/news/609938-germany-prison-bill-innocent-man/     The alignment of Jupiter and Saturn in Aquarius in December 2020 represented a call for a balance between opposing forces, like freedom and restriction. It also signalled a need for significant changes in personal lives and societal structures.   Four years later we are now in the waxing square phase of these two giant planets when the seed ideas must now be implemented or take shape. Presen...

  Over the last two years, the Republican-controlled House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight found numerous inconsistencies and outright lies in the testimony of Cassidy Hutchinson, who was the Democrat-controlled January 6th Commission’s “star witness” in the wake of Jan. 6, 2021.   https://www.zerohedge.com/political/report-speaker-johnson-shielded-dishonest-j6-committee-star-witness-gop-subpoena   An accurate event chart has the advantage that derived charts such as solar or lunar returns can be used to track future developments. The current lunar return chart for the well documented storming of the Capitol [6 Jan 2021; 14:15 EST; Washington DC] is very significant with a powerful Jupiter-Saturn-Mercury T-square aligned with the meridian.   If we have have made false statements (Mercury) and/or have been hypocritical and over extended ourselves (Jupiter) we are going to face consequences (Saturn).   As always the asteroids (listed below) in as...

Dec 24 https://www.rt.com/russia/609889-russia-new-cancer-vaccine/     In several recent posts, we have seen examples of how much information is packed in national horoscopes. Here is the horoscope of modern Russia, [25 Dec 1991; 17:20 UT; Moscow]. As always the most important progressions are those of the Sun. Currently Russia’s progressed Sun [7aq] is still within effective conjunction to its radix Saturn[5aq] - Asclepius[6aq] in the 6 th house associated with public health. Saturn in Aquarius is dignified in its own sign so that the solar progression has brought about success in difficult to cure illnesses. A major transiting trigger comes from Mars [5le] retrograding opposite radix Saturn [5aq]. (Mars-Sa...

  The Red Vineyard by Van Gogh People employed to pick grapes for France’s luxury champagne brands are being forced to sleep rough and steal food to stave off hunger, an investigation has found. The Guardian reported on Monday that it had found seasonal workers from west Africa and eastern Europe in the town of Epernay in northern France sleeping on the streets or in tents as the vineyards did not provide accommodation.

  A packed bus collided with a truck and burst into flames early on Saturday in Brazil, killing more than 30 people, the fire department said.  After removing all of the victims from a major highway near the town of Teofilo Otoni in Minas Gerais, the state's fire department reported that of the 45 people on the bus, 38, including the bus driver, had been confirmed dead. https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/at-least-30-killed-in-brazil-bus-and-truck-collision-7306994     Retrocausality, or backwards causation, is a concept of cause and effect in which an effect precedes its cause in time and so a later event affects an earlier one. Many have considered that an effect preceding its cause is an inherent self-contradiction. However it is a well established principle in quantum physics as well as in astrology. So for example an eclipse begins to influence events say three months prior to its actual occurrence.   In this post we shall see how the upcoming Mercury -Sat...

  On Friday we featured a tongue-in-cheek headline, but which is sadly all too literal and true: Syrian Leader With $10M Bounty On His Head Meets With Delegation From Country That Put The $10M Bounty On His Head.  US Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs Barbara Leaf led the delegation along with Daniel Rubenstein, who is expected to stay in Damascus as America's top diplomat there, as they met with Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) leader Abu Mohammed al-Jolani in Damascus.  https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/us-scraps-10m-bounty-aq-linked-jolani-after-merely-one-visit-state-dept-officials   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, creatin...

        Scores of people were injured and at least two people, including a small child, were killed on Friday after a car ploughed into a crowd of people at a Christmas market in the eastern German town of Magdeburg, in what local officials are describing as a terror attack.  At least 68 other people were injured, including 15 who were left in a critical state, according to the city government.  https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/dec/20/death-and-injuries-in-germany-as-car-ploughs-into-crowd-at-christmas-market   When tragic events like these occur, we seldom look for root causes of the problem because it can be difficult to identify them, requiring deeper analysis and time commitment, while it's easier to address immediate symptoms, sometimes due to pressure to find quick fixes, lack of understanding of complex systems, or a tendency to blame external factors rather than examining personal contributions to the issue.   In the quote abo...

  Pluto  - the god of greed      Members of Congress are in line for their first pay raise since 2009 if they pass a massive stopgap spending measure that would avert a partial government shutdown https://idahocapitalsun.com/2024/12/18/dc/members-of-congress-rolled-a-pay-raise-for-themselves-into-big-must-do-spending-bill/   Lawmakers could get their first pay raise in more than a decade under a provision that was quietly tucked into the three-month continuing resolution that was unveiled Tuesday evening. https://gazette.com/news/wex/lawmakers-quietly-include-congressional-pay-raises-in-stopgap-spending-bill/article_4c26f4a3-52ff-56ca-8bad-929c8ccb4779.html   In the US Sibly we know that Pluto has returned to its radix position (in 2 nd house) , while square Hades in the 11 th (congress) [1].

     Poverty in Victorian London (1890) The British government has announced “the largest ever cash boost” to tackle soaring destitution in England, which Minister for Homelessness Rushanara Ali has admitted is “the worst housing crisis in living memory.”  Earlier this month, housing charity Shelter reported that homelessness had risen by 14% in a year, with at least 354,000 people homeless in England, including 161,500 children.   https://www.rt.com/news/609543-uk-homelessness-new-funding/       There are 3.5 million households in England living in a home that fails to meet the Decent Homes Standard. 2.3 million households are living in a home with at least one Category 1 hazard and 935,000 households are living in a home with damp problems.   A national chart is a treasure house of information. Major transits/progressions to the chart elements can explain events in a way that would be surprising to the lay public. Presented here ...

  Waking from a Dream Painting by Nancy Fruchtman    The long and colorful history of major media promotion of false, government-serving narratives has a new chapter. L ast week, CNN aired a melodramatic report from reporter Clarissa Ward that was supposed to show a CNN crew amazingly rescuing a victim of the Assad regime from the bowels of a Damascus dungeon. After days of mounting skepticism and pointed questions ricocheting across social media, alternative new sites and here at ZeroHedge, CNN now says the "rescued" man was actually a regime intelligence officer, and there are reports that he himself perpetrated crimes against civilians.

        The crucifixion of Jesus was the death of Jesus by being nailed to a cross. It occurred in 1st-century Judaea.. It is described in the four canonical gospels, referred to in the New Testament epistles, and later attested to by other ancient sources. In her book, Secrets of the Ancient Skies, Diana Rosenberg (see extract above) gives the date of the cruxificion as April 3, 33 CE - the very day of a lunar eclipse. According to the Gospel of Mark, Jesus was crucified at the 3rd hour (9 a.m.), and died by the 9th hour of the day (at around 3:00 p.m.).     A study of the chart of the April 3, 33CE lunar eclipse offers several clues about Jesus and the his crucifixion. The eclipse Sun and Moon were conjunct the TNP midpoint Zeus/Poseidon which symbolizes a “fiery preacher”.   The eclipse Moon [11li36] was conjunct the stars Gacrux [9li28] gamma Crucis, top of the Cross; Nusakan [11li43]. Diana Rosenberg links these stars to “events related to ...
