  Fyodor Dostoevsky     Dostoevsky delivers a very prescient thought in his “Diary of a writer”. He states that the collapse of the West (“Europe,” in the parlance of Russian intellectuals of his day) will occur suddenly and precipitously. Dostoevsky’s bold prognosis, written over a hundred fifty years ago, must have struck his readers as fanciful for at least two reasons. Firstly, in the context of the period when that prediction was made, mid-nineteenth century, on the surface there was very little to support the notion that the West was approaching collapse, whether gradual or accelerated. Quite the contrary, it was advancing and gathering strength in science, industry, and every other significant field of human endeavour. https://strategic-culture.su/news/2026/01/29/the-accelerated-collapse/   Dostoevsky published A Writer's Diary serially from 1873 to 1881, with the bulk of his major political and cultural commentary (including his critiques of Western/E...

PHASE 339 (PISCES 9°): A JOCKEY SPURS HIS HORSE https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2026/1/28/india-curbs-grocery-under-10-minutes-but-riders-must-still-fatally-race?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-intl   The quick commerce (q-commerce) or ultra-fast grocery delivery services (often advertised as 10-30 minutes, later tightening to 10 minutes or less) in India evolved gradually. The shift to true quick commerce came later: by 2021 (especially post-COVID acceleration). Historical records confirm that Grofers (now Blinkit) introduced its 10-minute delivery service in August 2021, expanding it to 12 major cities after piloting faster times (e.g., 15 minutes in Gurgaon in July 2021)   An astrological analysis of the India's solar return (SR) chart for August 2021 as a symbolic "birth" or inception point for Blinkit's ultra-fast (10-minute) delivery rollout is well-aligned with the themes of speed, risk, and worker strain in quick commerce. This marked the aggressiv...

          Britain's PM Keir Starmer has landed in China – the FIRST UK PM visit in 8 YEARS – he will meet President Xi Jinping aiming to enhance trade and economic ties. His visit is the second by a NATO leader to China this month, following Canada.   The event chart for Keir Starmer's arrival in Beijing on January 28, 2026, at 17:15 local time (CST, UTC+8, equivalent to ~09:15 UTC) shows a striking alignment: the Sun (around 8° Aquarius), Mars (around 3-4° Aquarius), and Pluto (around 3° Aquarius) clustered closely together in Aquarius, opposing TNP Vulcanus (at approximately 4° Leo, retrograde) across the horizon axis (Ascendant/Descendant). When unbalanced, Aquarius energy can lead to "selling out" one's truth to maintain alliances, avoid conflict, or gain approval from the authority structures. Leo reminds us that true contribution to the collective comes from radiating genuine selfhood, not diluted compromise.       Since th...

        The astrology behind China's recent military purge aligns strikingly with the Lunar Return chart for January 19, 2026 (set for Beijing at approximately 12:09 AWST/China time), and its tight connections to the nation's natal chart (October 1, 1949, 15:02 Beijing time). This setup provides a coherent astrological signature for high-level purges involving military leadership, power consolidation, decline of top brass, and aggressive enforcement of authority—precisely what unfolded with the public announcement on January 24-26, 2026.   Key elements from the Lunar Return (LR) chart map directly to the events:Mars at 27° Capricorn exactly conjunct the MC (26° Capricorn): Mars on the Midheaven is a classic indicator of aggressive action, conflict, or forceful changes at the top levels of government, authority, or public status. In mundane astrology for a nation, the MC represents the government/executive power structure and national reputation. Mars here ...

    Lord Palmerston   https://x.com/PrometheanActn/status/2015886133536710773 Palmerston (1784–1865) was an aggressive British statesman known for "gunboat diplomacy," supporting liberal/nationalist causes abroad when it suited British interests (e.g., in the Crimean War, Italian unification, or interventions in China/Opium Wars), but also for realpolitik and imperial expansion.   Palmerston is frequently framed as an archetype of oligarchical/British imperial manipulation — using deception, divide-and-conquer, cultural subversion, and sometimes crowd psychology or induced chaos to weaken nation-states. This ties into the view of history as a battle between "republican" (American/FDR-style) forces and "British imperial" oligarchies. Palmerston's support for revolutionary movements (like in 1848 or against Russia) in fomenting disorder, support the narrative of using controlled opposition/crowds.     In Palmerston’s noon horoscope - a...

          The First Quarter Moon chart (January 25, 2026, 23:47:06 EST / approximately 04:47 UTC on January 26, for New York City at 40°42'51"N 74°00'23"W) aligns strikingly with the peak meteorological intensity of Winter Storm Fern (the major January 2026 North American winter storm) along the US East Coast.This storm transitioned into a classic nor'easter phase on January 25, 2026, delivering heavy snow, sleet, ice accumulations, high winds, and extreme cold to the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions. Impacts were widespread but most intense and disruptive in the Northeast corridor, particularly around New York City, New Jersey, Connecticut, and into southern New England.Key astrological-meteorological correlations based on traditional astro-meteorology principles (e.g., as outlined by Kim Farnell and similar sources emphasizing the 4th house/IC for weather/ground-level conditions):The chart's IC (Imum Coeli) at approximately 1° Aquarius, with the Sun ...

          The Solar Arc directed contacts from Iran's natal chart to the US Sibly chart (as shown in the Solar Fire report) emphasize a multi-year process of unfolding tension, rather than pinpoint events on exact dates. Following Martha Lang-Wescott's approach, these asteroid-involved aspects highlight psychological, thematic, and behavioral dynamics playing out between the two nations' identities (Iran's Sun) and the US chart's structures. Key activations in the list include:Sun square Mars (May 2018): Direct activation of conflict, aggression, or military posturing. In mundane context, this can symbolize assertive or provocative actions, escalations, or forceful responses that feel necessary but draining. Sun opposite Neptune (2019): A classic signature of dissolution, confusion, deception, or idealism clashing with reality. For Iran (Sun) contacting US Neptune, it suggests undermined clarity in dealings, propaganda, hidden agendas, oil/illusion themes (...

    Jack Smith’s testimony before Congress did more than expose weaknesses in his own case against President Trump. It also laid bare just how partisan the entire January 6th investigation had become—and how willing Democrats were to elevate sensational claims they knew could never survive real scrutiny. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/jack-smith-accidentally-exposed-partisan-scam-behind-jan-6-probe   The charts below provide a clear astrological framework for interpreting the January 22, 2026, congressional hearing in relation to Jack Smith's natal chart       Hearing/Event Chart Confirmation The event chart is set for January 22, 2026, at 10:00 AM EST in Washington, D.C. This aligns precisely with official records from the House Judiciary Committee: the public oversight hearing titled "Oversight of the Office of Special Counsel Jack Smith" began at 10:00 a.m. ET . It focused on Smith's investigations into Trump (including Jan. 6-related elect...

        Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has admitted that the “rules-based international order” was always a partially false narrative that countries knowingly upheld for decades because it benefited them. During a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Tuesday (Jan 20), Carney said nations such as Canada prospered under and promoted a system they understood was not fully true. https://www.rt.com/news/631276-canada-rules-based-order/       Mark Carney's public declaration at the World Economic Forum in Davos on January 20, 2026, of the "death" (or at least the irreversible "rupture" and fading) of the post-WWII rules-based international order can be understood through his radix chart and its derivatives.   In his speech, he described it as a "pleasant fiction" that countries like Canada knowingly upheld for decades because it benefited them, even though the strongest powers (implicitly the US) often exempted themselves. He...

    In this post we will look at the charts of (a) Larry Fink (b) the WEF to see how they are telling us the same story.    For Larry Fink (b. November 2, 1952, 9:47 PM; Los Angeles (CA) ) here is his progressed solar return for Jan 21, 2026 when he is taking over as chairman of WEF as Klaus Schwabe steps down. You can see a Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Pisces on the MC. The WEF has been pushing a globalists agenda that is aiming for full control of the world populace e.g. climate change hoaxes, vaccination, digital IDs; “you will own nothing and still be happy” etc In his poetic style this is what Dane Rudhyar wrote about PISCES in his “The Pulse of Life” ”...attacked from all sides by waves of destructive energy, by the rip-tide of Barbarian invasions. New blood is flowing into the old ruling class, utterly transforming them. The proud "isolationists" are swept away when they refuse to link themselves up to the rising crest of the spring-to-be — as wintry i...

      The "Board of Peace" (also referred to as the Gaza Board of Peace or similar) is a recently proposed U.S.-led intergovernmental body, initially focused on overseeing the post-conflict reconstruction and governance in Gaza as part of President Donald Trump's 20-point plan to end the Gaza conflict, with potential broader ambitions for global conflict resolution. It has been endorsed in connection with UN Security Council Resolution 2803 (from 2025). The signing ceremony was scheduled for Thursday (likely January 22, 2026, at 10:30 a.m. (timezone unspecified, but local to the event) on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.     To understand the astrological timing for the Board of Peace event (the formal signing ceremony scheduled for Thursday, January 22, 2026, in Davos, Switzerland, on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum)we look at the Capricorn Ingress chart for Davos.The Capricorn Ingress (December 21, 2025, ~16:02 ...
