  Achlys the ancient Greek spirit of despair   The upcoming Full Moon of Feb 2 at Tel Aviv is placed very significantly on the meridian axis. implying that it has an important message for Israel. At approximately 13° Leo, it falls directly on Israel's natal Pluto (12° Leo 38') and near Saturn (16° Leo 25'). In mundane astrology, a Full Moon on the meridian (MC/IC axis) in a nation's chart often highlights public visibility, leadership crises, or pivotal turning points. For Israel, this lunation illuminates the natal Pluto-Saturn conjunction in Leo—a signature of intense authority, resilience through hardship, and transformative power structures (Pluto) tempered by discipline, limitations, or karmic lessons (Saturn).     1. Leo's energy here emphasizes national pride, sovereignty, and creative self-expression, but when activated by a Full Moon opposition (Sun in Aquarius), it can bring tensions between individual (or national) will and collective/humanitari...

  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...
