  On September 19, 2025, Kaja Kallas, the EU's High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy since late 2024, made her first official visit to Latin America, traveling to Brasília, Brazil.During her visit Kallas countered Trump's "America First" protectionism. If Trump slaps 20% tariffs on EU goods, the EU can pivot south, reducing reliance on the US market. In her press remarks she explicitly contrasted this need for openness rising from global barriers—a veiled nod to Washington without naming it. Readers will notice that the transiting Mars-Pluto square falls sharply in aspect to the EU chart’s meridian.  “So it's important that we think about Mars as a cutting or severing or separating process that can really serve and facilitate individual definition and individual growth or separation from various categories that we come to recognize are not us. They're not individually unique enough.   So anytime that Mars hits Pluto, one of the...

  The Shocking Cost of Goodness | Machiavelli’s Hidden Truth https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNayW9VZTQg   The video "The Shocking Cost of Goodness | Machiavelli’s Hidden Truth" refers to themes from Niccolò Machiavelli's book "The Prince" (Il Principe). This work, written in 1513, explores political philosophy, including the idea that virtuous actions can sometimes lead to negative consequences in politics, aligning with the video's title.Machiavelli did not publish The Prince during his lifetime; it was published posthumously in 1532. The concepts discussed, such as the cost of being "good" in a world of power struggles, are central to this text. Presented here is Machiavelli's horoscope [1] with a strong Saturn-Neptune opposition aligned with the meridian. As Richard Tarnas points out this combination can be related to the “use of deception and fraud (Neptune) as a strategy to maintain power (Saturn)”. Below we will see the same combinat...

      With public debt at high levels, some governments have begun to explore financing additional expenditures without raising taxes while also not increasing public debt outstanding. One possibility is using proceeds from valuation gains on gold reserves, as has been floated in the U.S. and Belgium recently.1 For the U.S., this would involve revaluing the government's 261.5 million troy ounces in gold reserves—the largest gold reserves globally— from a statutory price of $42.22 per troy ounce to current market prices, which stand around $3300 per troy ounce. August 1 https://www.federalreserve.gov/econres/notes/feds-notes/official-reserve-revaluations-the-international-experience-20250801.html     The Federal Reserve (Fed) has recently sparked renewed interest in gold revaluation through a research note titled "Official Reserve Revaluations: The International Experience," which examines historical cases from countries like Germany, Italy, Lebanon, and So...

    The Western United States continues to face persistent water challenges, including widespread drought, declining reservoir levels, groundwater depletion, and post-wildfire water quality degradation. These issues affect agriculture, municipal supplies, hydropower, and ecosystems across states like California, Colorado, Washington, Oregon, Utah, Wyoming, and the Colorado River Basin.   Aeas in eastern Iran are experiencing severe water problems as part of the country's broader, escalating water crisis. As of September 2025, 19 of Iran's 31 provinces are in significant drought, with eastern ones facing rainfall deficits of 40-72% below long-term averages.   From the astrocartography map for the upcoming solar eclipse[29vi] of 21 September 2025, we can see that the merdian lines pass through both western USA and eastern Iran  activating the Saturn [29pi] - Neptune [1ar] conjunction. With Saturn (lack) in Pisces (water) one of the manifestations of the eclips...

        The upcoming solar eclipse [29vi] of September 21 is particularly relevant for the US since it occurs on the MC [1li] of the US Sibly. From the diagram below we can see that the eclipse is part of a prominent Kite formation.   This Saturn-Neptune cycle is important for the U.S., since Saturn and Neptune are conjoining precisely on the Lower Heaven of the U.S. Sibly natal chart at 1 Aries. The roots of the US are likely to be remade from within — a process of disintegration of the old by rising new ideals replacing old assumptions with new dreams will probably be quite rocky. The old structures give way only grudgingly to new dreams and ideas that are often immature or even childish, but which seek to establish themselves in our perceptions and beliefs about reality.   If we remember that there is nothing in any chart that tells what will definitely happen, we can go back to planets on the Sibly MC (triggered by the eclipse) to look for possib...

  IN THE QUIET OF HIS STUDY A CREATIVE INDIVIDUAL EXPERIENCES A FLOW OF INSPIRATION. Why Spiritually Awake People Are Quietly Disappearing from Society - Carl Jung https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aG_E4UnGWp8   The essence of the video—spiritually awake individuals withdrawing from society due to the process of individuation, shadow integration, and disillusionment with collective projections and personas—aligns closely with Carl Jung's foundational concepts introduced in Psychological Types, first published in 1921 in Zurich, Switzerland. This work marks the initial systematic description of psychological typology (introversion/extraversion), the persona as a societal mask, and the broader tension between individual inner development and external social demands, which often leads to such quiet retreats.   Spiritually sensitive individuals are among the first to receive the hidden messages of cosmic phenomena. Presented here is the chart for the total lunar eclipse of ...

      United States President Donald Trump has arrived in the United Kingdom for his second state visit, describing it as a “great honour” to be hosted by King Charles III at Windsor Castle.  The US president landed at the London Stansted airport on Tuesday evening, where new UK Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper was among those greeting him as he stepped off Air Force One. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/9/16/us-president-donald-trump-arrives-in-uk-for-second-state-visit     A well timed national chart is a treasure trove of information. Not only is it possible to rely on its derivates like the solar returns but also to progress these returns to dates of interest to better understand events.   Presented here is the current solar return for the UK [1]. The Pluto-retrograde Mars opposition aligns with the horizon and is therefore very significant.   Wherever Mars is transiting retrograde we are contacting deep seated and often disguised for...

  Mary Madalene and the resurrected Jesus Forbidden Knowledge: Why The Gospel of Mary Was Banned! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0_IZEHnzuk       The Gospel of Mary of Magdala: Jesus and the First Woman Apostle, is a scholarly work which explores the ancient text. It was written by Karen L. King and published in November 2003 by Polebridge Press, based in Santa Rosa, California.   The Gospel of Mary is a second-century early Christian document discovered in  Jan 1896 and attributed to Mary Magdalene. King, a Harvard Divinity School professor, provides a new English translation of the surviving fragments (about half the original text is lost) and contextualizes it within the broader landscape of early Christianity.The Gospel of Mary portrays Mary Magdalene not as the repentant prostitute of later traditions (a misconception King debunks as theological fiction originating from medieval church interpretations), but as a prominent disciple and "apo...

  September 9, 2025, at 13:00 UTC: Israel's airstrike on a residential compound in Doha's Leqtaifiya district, targeting Hamas political leaders. The strike involved missiles from over 10 Israeli fighter jets, killing several individuals associated with Hamas (including the son of a senior leader) and a Qatari security member, while wounding civilians. Qatar condemned it as a sovereignty violation, and it was the first known Israeli attack on Qatari soil amid Gaza ceasefire talks.   The incident can be understood from the horoscope of Qatar (1 Sep 1971; 0:00; Doha) and its derivatives. The upcoming solar eclipse [21 Sep] opposite Saturn-Neptune activates Qatar’s radix Pluto [29vi]. One meaning of Neptune in Aries is a “sneak (Neptune) attack (Aries)”. Saturn-Neptune can show up as “weakness or inhibitions” and with Pluto when facing a powerful and obsessive enemy.   Saturn-Neptune are conjunct the star Deneb Kaitos.   Deneb Kaitos embodies "strong emotional t...

  Mary Magdalene weeping at the empty tomb eventually encountering the resurrected Jesus  Mary Magdalene: The Divine Feminine Returns & the Truth They Tried to Bury https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHYXOEhXyng The Nag Hammadi texts, a collection of early Christian and Gnostic manuscripts, were discovered in December 1945 near the town of Nag Hammadi in Upper Egypt.(coordinates roughly 26.1°N, 32.3°E). These texts, particularly the Gospel of Philip and the Gospel of Mary, portray Mary Magdalene as a significant figure in early Christianity, often emphasizing her spiritual insight and close relationship with Jesus. She is described as companion of Jesus, with suggestions of a special bond and sharing them with the other disciples.  The discovery of  the texts took place just around the Sun’s entry into Capricorn on December 22, 1945.  The chart for the Capricorn ingress has a powerful T-square aligned with the meridian. Jupiter (religious teacher) - Hades (f...

      Nayib Bukele (b July 24, 1981), the President of El Salvador, has been in the news for several significant developments as of September 2025:   Constitutional Changes and Power Consolidation: In August 2025, El Salvador's National Assembly, dominated by Bukele's Nuevas Ideas party, approved constitutional amendments that abolished presidential term limits, extended the presidential term from five to six years, and eliminated the two-round election system. These changes allow Bukele to potentially remain in power indefinitely, raising concerns among human rights groups and regional experts about democratic backsliding.   Gang Crackdown and Deportation Policies: Bukele's aggressive anti-gang campaign, known as the "mano dura" (iron fist) policy, has led to the arrest of over 85,000 people with alleged gang affiliations by December 2024, significantly reducing El Salvador's homicide rate to 1.9 per 100,000 in 2024, one of the lowest in the Americas. How...

  The Bundestag’s Budget Committee reached agreement on Friday regarding this year’s federal budget. In the end, record debt remains, publicly masked with accounting tricks and hopeful rhetoric. Friedrich Merz is driving Germany deeper into a debt spiral.   Political chaos in Berlin, including early elections and failed budget negotiations, delayed the adoption of the federal budget this year. On Friday, the Union parties reached agreement with the SPD in the Budget Committee on the final budget. Germany will spend €502.55 billion over the course of the year, continuing its fiscal record chase – year after year, the political circus demands ever-increasing allocations. Sep 8 https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/gamechanger-merz-plunges-germany-debt-crisis     The national horoscope of Germany [24 May 1949; 0:00 CET Berlin] can help explain the news.

  As an observer no longer resident in Britain, I am reluctant to pontificate on the fate of my homeland. Yet it is a sight to behold: an establishment seemingly bent on self-destruction, clinging to an incontinent immigration system and an almost devotional attachment to international and human rights laws that disadvantage its own citizens. https://www.sott.net/article/501634-Britains-spiral-down-towards-civil-war-is-no-accident   A total lunar eclipse in Pisces brings events that illustrate the very essence of this last sign of the zodiac. Dane Rudhyar describes Pisces in his The Pulse of Life as below:   A world utterly dominated by social behavior and by the concept of the State, has now unfolded to the point where it has to be recognized by a society breaking down under the weight of its crystallizations. The once-powerful Empire is attacked from all sides by waves of destructive energy, by the rip-tide of Barbarian invasions. New blood is flowing into the ol...

    President Donald Trump is weighing a proposal to block U.S. tech companies from outsourcing IT jobs to India, aiming to protect American employment and revive domestic opportunities. This initiative, potentially involving tariffs and visa restrictions, could spark trade tensions with India, where the IT sector supports millions of jobs, while critics warn of higher costs and innovation setbacks for U.S. firms. https://x.com/i/trending/1964099724686086144       Below is an extract from an earlier post Lunar Eclipse: India Stands Up To The US [1], The South Node of the eclipse is in Virgo about which Steven Forrest writes:   As always, we start by underscoring a point that is really the bedrock of evolutionary astrological theory: the south node of the Moon represents the gravity of old habits which are holding us back, while the north node symbolizes the remedy that can liberate us.

    NEW DELHI (AP) — Relentless monsoon rains have unleashed some of the worst flooding and landslides in decades across northern India, killing at least 90 people and displacing hundreds of thousands in recent weeks, government officials said.  India’s Himalayan Mountain states and territories such as Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, as well as Punjab state, are among the worst affected. India’s capital city, New Delhi, and nearby regions have been hit by rising rivers and heavy rain. Thousands have been moved to safer ground as city officials said the Yamuna River in the city has breached danger levels.

       Why Trump Can’t Afford to Be Tough on India Anymore | Jordan Peterson https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2E35AZ_oDSE       Major world events are being influenced by the upcoming lunar eclipse. But while eclipses are worldwide in their scope, they are especially significant for places where they they fall on the angles. The total lunar eclipse of September 7, 2025 is going to be felt strongly in the US-India relationship since it aligns very significantly with the horizon.at the midpoint between Delhi and Washington DC.   The South Node of the eclipse is in Virgo about which Steven Forrest writes:   As always, we start by underscoring a point that is really the bedrock of evolutionary astrological theory: the south node of the Moon represents the gravity of old habits which are holding us back, while the north node symbolizes the remedy that can liberate us.   Once again, we are talking about an era running from this past...
