    Pluto - dark god of the underworld    Trump earlier on Wednesday announced in a post on his Truth Social account that India would face 25% tariffs and additional penalties starting August 1 over its high tariffs and continued energy and defense trade with Russia... Hours after US President Donald Trump announced a 25% tariff on Indian goods, New Delhi said it would take “all steps necessary” to secure the interests of its domestic players.   https://www.rt.com/india/622276-india-us-tariffs-trump/     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. To understand relationship issues between nations, the lunation charts can be drawn for the midpoint of the capitals. Presented here is the chart for the current New Moon of July 24 drawn for the Washington DC - New Delhi midpoint. Notice the...

  A tsunami warning has been issued for the coastal areas of Russia’s Far East, with hazardous waves also possible in Japan, Alaska and Hawaii, after a powerful earthquake struck off the coast of the Kamchatka Peninsula. The quake, initially measured at magnitude 7.5, was registered around 11:30am local time on Wednesday.  https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us6000qw60/executive     Let us begin with the chart for the time and the co-ordinates of the quake. And sure enough it is very powerful with Jupiter square Saturn-Neptune on the angles. Saturn-Neptune on the descendant [1-2 Aries] are conjunct the star Deneb Kaitos - the thrashing tail of the sea monster Cetus. Diana Rosenberg links this area with “tsunamis” .   Next take a look at the current New Moon chart at the co-ordinates of the quake. Once again we see the powerful New Moon opposite Pluto making a T-square to the MC. Among other things Pluto is:     “ the dark, myster...

  Let’s be honest: pretending to be okay is one of the most energy-draining things a person can do.You’re constantly editing yourself. Thinking about tone, facial expression, body language. Playing the role of someone who’s composed, unbothered, emotionally “together.” Even when you’re hurting, unraveling, or flat-out numb.This kind of emotional labor isn’t just tiring—it creates a split inside you. A gap between what you show and what you feel. And over time, that gap turns into loneliness. I’ve read that psychologist Carl Rogers called this disconnect between our real self and our presented self “incongruence.” Not only is it distressing and uncomfortable, it quietly chips away at our mental well-being. Because no matter how good you get at acting fine, a part of you always knows you’re lying.That part starts to feel unseen, unheard, unfelt. You become emotionally disconnected not just from others, but from yourself. Over time, this gap between inner truth and outer performance c...

  https://x.com/SachabhartiyaRW/status/1949885173165936782   Divya Deshmukh, born into a Marathi family in Nagpur, Maharashtra, India, has emerged as a prominent figure in the chess world, notably becoming the first Indian woman to win the FIDE Women's World Cup on July 28, 2025 at Batumi, Georgia.   The March 14, 2025 lunar eclipse at Nagpur was prominently placed on the IC in Virgo (triggered by transit Mars in the last few days). Specifically it is conjunct the star omega Virginis, on top of the Virgin’s head. Virgo is associated with analytical skills, which are beneficial in chess, due to traits like detail-orientation and methodical thinking, strategic planning and problem-solving. Several chess Grandmasters, including Emil Sutovsky and Vasilios Kotronias, are born under Virgo (August 23 to September 22).   Rising on the Ascendant [4cn] is the star Tejat.   The foot of Castor is composed of Tejat, Eta Gemini; IC 444, a bright emission nebula, IC 443,...

  Vassal in medieval Europe The United States and the European Union have agreed on a new trade deal, which envisages, among other things, a zero tariff on US imports to the European markets and a 15% baseline tariff on all EU goods coming to the US, including cars, US President Donald Trump said on Sunday. https://sputnikglobe.com/20250727/trump-strikes-biggest-deal-ever-with-eu-zero-tariffs-for-us-15-for-europe-1122500298.html   This deal, announced by President Trump, is portrayed as a major victory for the US, with the EU's agreement to purchase $750 billion of American energy over three years, although the specifics and implications for both economies remain unclear and subject to further negotiation. The context of this trade agreement is set against a backdrop of escalating trade tensions, with the EU initially hoping for a 10% baseline tariff similar to the US-UK deal, but facing a threat of a 30% tariff if no agreement was reached, highlighting the high stakes and...

  SINGAPORE – A woman was taken to hospital after her car fell into a sinkhole that formed on Tanjong Katong Road, near the One Amber condominium, on July 26. The public have been advised to avoid the area. In a Facebook post, national water agency PUB said the sinkhole had formed at about 5pm at the junction of Tanjong Katong Road and Mountbatten Road, and adjacent to a PUB worksite. https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/sinkhole-forms-on-tanjong-katong-road-near-one-amber-condo-public-advised-to-avoid-the-area   Readers may recall a similar story from India Taxi falls into sinkhole in Madras, India [1].   The “hour” hand (root cause) is the chart for the March 14 total lunar eclipse aligned with the meridian at Madras. The Moon and the S.Node on the IC are conjunct stars in the constellation Crater - which often literally indicates a cup like hollow or hole in the ground! (see image). In the last couple of days, the eclipse chart was triggered by the transiting Node...

  The Vulture   https://x.com/MumbaichaDon/status/1948745088856707469   This event, occurring in Kishun Daspur, underscores a growing societal issue in India where elders are increasingly being neglected or abandoned, despite cultural norms that emphasize respect and care for the elderly. The abandonment was not only a moral failing but also had fatal consequences; the elderly woman, who was suffering from cancer, passed away during treatment after being rescued by the police. This outcome is particularly poignant given the cultural reverence for elders in India, as highlighted by the AP News report, which contrasts traditional values with the harsh reality of modern societal pressures. The incident has sparked outrage and calls for justice, reflecting a deeper concern about the erosion of familial duties and moral decay.   The incident where the elderly woman was abandoned in Ayodhya occurred late on Thursday night, July 24, 2025. She was discovered unattended ea...

  It’s finally happened. After months of pundits wondering when would the moment come when western media would finally take a clear and decisive stand against Ukraine’s venal president, it has finally happened – and by the most ardent pro-EU broadsheet to note. The all-out hit piece on Zelensky recently by the Financial Times should indicate that something is about to happen in Ukraine and it will probably involve the president either having his own Ceausescu moment or simply fleeing the country. How long has he got? https://strategic-culture.su/news/2025/07/25/ft-hit-job-on-zelensky-is-a-clue-as-to-trumps-thinking/     Perhaps nothing shows the pressure on Zelensky to quit more than Ukraine’s upcoming solar return chart With Pluto [2aq] on MC (President) activated by the July 25 th New Moon [2le] opposite.   Martha Wescott’s key phrases for Pluto-MC are revealing:   To be called on the carpet by life, authorities; to have others test your authority, po...

  Prasanna Vadanam Mantra |Enigma’s The Child in Us| Slowed+Reverb https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4BGIBsTWS4&list=RDi4BGIBsTWS4&start_radio=1 The video, a rendition of Enigma’s song "The Child in Us," combined with the Prasanna Vadanam Mantra was uploaded on December 14, 2024, from India (most likely Bangalore). Here is a chart for the March 14 Lunar Eclipse drawn for Bangalore. Notice that this date is exactly three months before the eclipse. The transit Sun [23sa] is triggering the eclipse [23vi] via a square aspect.   Is it a coincidence that the SABIAN symbol of the eclipse degree asks us to pay attention to the  "The Child in Us"   PHASE 174 (23° - 24°):: MARY AND HER LITTLE LAMB. The more we progress in spiritual maturity the more we radiate childlike qualities and purity of spirit. Despite having a nobility of demeanour and powerful will the more advanced seeker is able to radiate innocence and purity, holding on to a childlike simplicity of ...

In what may become the most explosive revelation in U.S. political history, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard announced that declassified intelligence files directly implicate former President Barack Obama in authorizing a covert assassination attempt on then President-elect Donald Trump. The files, set to be publicly released, detail a sprawling, top-secret program initiated in the final 30 days of Obama’s presidency, with the explicit goal of preventing Trump from ever taking office. “Operation Silence was not just surveillance. It was an organized, multi-agency plot to eliminate the President-elect,” Gabbard said during an emergency intelligence briefing.   In yesterday’s post Mars re-activates March Lunar Eclipse [1], I wrote   Eclipses are significant astrological events, known for accelerating change, revealing hidden truths, and aligning individuals with their life paths.

           Eclipses are significant astrological events, known for accelerating change, revealing hidden truths, and aligning individuals with their life paths. Their effects can be reactivated when transiting planets move over the specific degree where the eclipse occurred, known as the eclipse degree. This can happen both before and after the eclipse, influencing personal and life events. For example, Mars transits are often noted for timing epiphanies or fresh starts related to eclipses, while Saturn transits may bring karmic or structural changes.     Transit Mars is beginning its transit over the March 14, 2025 total lunar eclipse [23vi]. Alllowing for a 3 deg. orb of influence the effect can last from about 22 July to 1 August . Here is the astrocartography of the eclipse indicating a world map with areas most affected identified by the lines of the eclipse (and linked planets). Since the eclipse line slices through India, there are ...

    Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard says she'll release more information next week to follow up on her bombshell declassification of documents that show "overwhelming evidence" of the Obama administration laid the groundwork for the years-long Trump-Russia collusion investigation after President Trump won the 2016 election. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/gabbard-release-more-obama-russiagate-files-cannot-fathom-how-durham-mueller-missed     It is now more and more likely that Obama will face prison time. But does his horoscope support this? Presented here is his natal chart as provided by Astro-databank [1].   Using this chart, Obama’s current secondary progressions are:   prog.

  Americans will finally learn the truth about how in 2016, intelligence was politicized and weaponized by the most powerful people in the Obama Administration to lay the groundwork for what was essentially a years-long coup against President Trump, subverting the will of the American people and undermining our democratic republic. For months preceding the 2016 election, the Intelligence Community shared a consensus view: Russia lacked the intent and capability to hack U.S. elections. July 20 https://www.zerohedge.com/political/treasonous-conspiracy-dni-gabbard-exposes-obama-center-trump-russia-hoax   Astrologer David Crook wrote on X   July 20-21: The conjunction between Mars & the Moon's South Node at 19° Virgo 38" indicates an active, purging, cathartic, cleansing, and purifying release of emotional patterns rooted in the past, that may be detrimental to our current health, happiness, & spiritual well being.

    https://x.com/TheTreeni/status/1946092902704193916   The X post documents a significant cultural and religious event where two Muslim women, Swaleheen and Noor Fatma, converted to Sanatan Dharma (Hinduism) and married Hindu men, Amit and Gaurav, in an Arya Samaj temple in Moradabad, adopting the names Shalini and Neelam respectively. This event is notable for its defiance of potential threats and the choice of love over traditional religious boundaries, reflecting a personal decision to embrace a different faith and cultural identity.   The event occurs against the backdrop of ongoing debates in India about interfaith marriages and the controversial "love jihad" narrative, which alleges that Muslim men convert Hindu women to Islam through marriage. This case, however, reverses that narrative, highlighting the complexity and fluidity of religious identity and marriage choices in contemporary India, and challenging the one-sided portrayal often seen in media an...

    You Will Never Heal Until You Face This About Your Mother https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2WJ21T3hVg&t=63s     This video clip is a Zen Buddhist teaching on how to heal from the “mother wound”. Erich Neumann's The Origins and History of Consciousness (1949) discusses a similar theme of and why the mother is the root of all suffering and how to get out of it. He builds on Carl Jung's theories, particularly archetypes and individuation, to outline the archetypal stages in the development of consciousness. The book draws on world mythology to illustrate how individual consciousness mirrors the broader evolution of human consciousness, with stages including the Uroboros, Great Mother, and the hero's journey to free himself from her influence.     Neumann suggests that the mother, as the unconscious, is the root of suffering because she traps the individual in an undifferentiated state, unable to achieve self-awareness. While it is necessary to ba...

  Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition government faces imminent collapse after the ultra-Orthodox Shas party announced its resignation from the government on July 16 over a dispute regarding the Haredi military draft law. The United Torah Judaism party had already quit the coalition earlier in the week over the same issue, which centers on proposed legislation to limit religious exemptions from compulsory military service. Opposition leader Yair Lapid declared the government “illegitimate” and called for immediate elections.

  Research appears to suggest that it is important for helpers or friends to step back when an individual has made up their mind to take a path that others perceive as leading to disaster. The reason why helpers need to do this was first explained by Jack W. Brehm, a notable psychologist. who first postulated the theory of psychological reactance where people react negatively to threats to their freedom or autonomy. The theory was publishedin his book "A Theory of Psychological Reactance." in 1966 during his affiliation with Duke University.   Astrologers have long understood that significant discoveries can often be related to eclipses and major planetary conjunctions. The year 1966 stands out as one in which two outer planets Uranus and Pluto were conjunct. Martha Wescott provides the following keywords for Uranus-Pluto.   Attempts to “force” change draw unexpected reactions based on resentment; vindictive or forceful reactions to freedom demands; to see that in...
