Bird attacks on humans are growing more common as people continue to encroach on bird nesting territory, wildlife experts warn. Mary Heiman was walking her dog around a lake in downtown Denver, Colorado, in late July when a bird started flying uncomfortably close to her head. Before she knew what was happening, the bird "body slams you in the back of the head, flies around frantically and then goes back in the bush", she told the Denver Post. July 18 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-48993220 An eclipse can   affect our surroundings as much as it affects us. But we are so cut off from this natural phenomena that we are unable to appreciate its importance. Ancient skywatchers would look at the stars that formed the backdrop to the eclipse to understand how it might influence terrestrial events. The news about the increase in bird attacks comes to us just   after the lunar eclipse of July 16. The eclipse [24cp] was placed amid the stars of Aquila, the E...

Most veterans believe the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were not worth fighting, and a majority also view U.S. military efforts in Syria as too costly in dollars and casualties, according to a new poll from the Pew Research Center released Wednesday (July 10). In a survey of nearly 1,300 veterans conducted in May and June, 64 percent of those surveyed said the war in Iraq was not worth fighting, as opposed to just 33 percent who said the security benefits outweighed the sacrifices.   https://bit.ly/2XVMcZb The US Sibly solar return chart accurately reflects the mood of the nation. The Sibly Sun conjoins the North Node and is opposite Saturn-Pluto and the South Node. The South Node of the Moon symbolizes past patterns of behavior that have outlived their usefulness and need to be discarded. Here the South Node is conjunct Saturn-Pluto amid stars of the Archer and the Eagle both easily recognizable symbols of war. On the other hand, the North Node, which represents...

Rare conjoined twins have been separated at a world-leading children’s hospital in London, surgeons have announced. Two-year-old sisters Safa and Marwa Ullah, from Charsadda in Pakistan, underwent three major operations to separate their heads at Great Ormond Street hospital (GOSH). July 15 https://bit.ly/2O0CdSM The announcement of a rare operation to separate the twins comes just a day before the Lunar Eclipse. The news connects Charsadda in Pakistan and London in UK. The chart for the eclipse drawn for the midpoint between the two places has the eclipse axis aligned very significantly with the meridian. The eclipse Sun is conjunct the stars p Geminorum and b Geminorum   in the head of the Twins Castor and Pollux. For these stars Diana Rosenberg lists “multiple births, birth anomalies and head ailments or injuries” . In addition for the position of Venus and the North Node also on the IC, Diana Rosenberg adds “conjoined twins” [1]. The eclipse Moon conj...

Angela Merkel has insisted she is in good health after experiencing a third bout of shaking in as many weeks at a public event in Berlin. The German chancellor was seen trembling during military honours for Finland’s prime minister, Antti Rinne, in the forecourt of her chancellery on Wednesday morning. The bout of shaking was said to be less intense than in the previous two instances, and stopped when Merkel moved her body. Jul.10   https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/jul/10/angela-merkel-seen-shaking-for-third-time The horoscope of Angela Merkel as provided by Astro-Databank is reproduced here. For the purpose of our analysis we will focus on the sharp T-square aligned with the meridian. At the apex of the T is a Sun-Uranus conjunction in the 8 th house in square aspect to the   Admetus-Neptune opposition. But why is this T-square important now. Well for two reasons (a) her solar arc converse Mars at [24li] triggers the T (b) a lunar eclipse on her birthday ...

A Kolkata metro passenger died on Saturday after his hand got stuck in the train door. The incident took place in the evening around 6:40 pm at the Park Street metro station. The man was trying to board the train and was on the platform outside when his hand got stuck. The door, equipped with sensors, is believed to have malfunctioned. The man, identified as Sajal Kumar Kanjilal, was taken to a hospital nearby where he was declared brought dead. He was 66 and a resident of south Kolkata. Jul. 14 https://bit.ly/2Y32xzy Tragedies like this one offer an opportunity to look at the deeper reasons behind what might be considered just an unfortunate event. To begin the analysis we first look at the chart for the Total Solar Eclipse of July 3 at Kolkata. The eclipse itself fell in the third house[1] which among other things rules: The transport system and all means of inland transit, locomotion or communication, such as railways, road and river traffic, cars, underground networ...

Dragon – ancient symbol of electricity and lightning Parts of Manhattan have suffered a widespread blackout, which affected traffic lights, subway stations, businesses and tourist attractions all across Midtown and Upper West Side. Over 61,000 households and businesses have been left without power in New York, according to utility company Con Edison which continues to respond to “extensive outages” from 5th Avenue to the Hudson River, and from the West 40s to 72nd Street. Jul.14 https://on.rt.com/9y44 Among the celestial phenomena that contribute to events on earth, the phases of the Moon are particularly significant. Here is the chart for the First Quarter Moon at Manhattan. Notice the perfect alignment of the Sun-Moon related Grand Cross with the meridian. On the upper meridian (MC) is Eris, the dwarf planet that has been described as “the great disrupter”[1]. Opposite Eris is the Quarter Moon with the TNP Zeus on the lower meridian (IC). Martha Wescott links the TN...

Throughout history people have noticed correlations between the Moon and the weather. Serious astro-meteorologists often cast a chart for each phase of the Moon for the location they wish to study. The planetary alignments within the chart and especially   those to the angles provide clues as to what the weather will be like. Here is the chart for the Gibbous Moon of July 12 cast for Shell Beach, Louisiana where Hurricane Barry is expected to make landfall. Notice the sharp alignments with the horizon and meridian. The Sun-Saturn-Pluto opposition is on the horizon while the Mars-Uranus square straddles the meridian. The Gibbous Moon [5sa23] is conjunct the three Black Holes Circinus X-1, Scorpio X-1, Hercules X-1. Diana Rosenberg writes: Black Holes are often transited at storms: there were placements here in 1748 at John Newton’s Storm; at the 1815 Autumn Equinox, the day the devastating Great September Gale hit New England; at the Winter Solstice of 1898, a ...

Finally, the process of ending the war in Ukraine seems to be starting in earnest. But to understand how the war can now realistically end, the basic history of how it began needs first to be acknowledged, and this history is something that will be very difficult for U.S-and-allied media to report, because it violates what their ‘news’-reports, ever since the time of the war’s start, had said was happening. Jul. 12 https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-07-12/obama-ukrainian-nightmare-seems-be-ending-last Lay readers unfamiliar with the concept of collective destiny may be surprised by how much information can be gleaned from the horoscope of a nation. Presented here is the current solar return for Ukraine [1]  on Jan.22, just a day after a powerful total lunar eclipse. Eclipses offer a time to resynchronize our selves with the ever-changing cosmic currents supporting our evolutionary progression in consciousness. They tend to bring about endings and new beginni...

A new scientific study could bust wide open deeply flawed fundamental assumptions underlying controversial climate legislation and initiatives such as the Green New Deal, namely, the degree to which 'climate change' is driven by natural phenomena vs. man-made issues measured as carbon footprint. Scientists in Finland found "practically no anthropogenic [man-made] climate change" after a series of studies. https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-07-11/scientists-finland-japan-man-made-climate-change-doesnt-exist-practice The climate change debate is being used to foster a new generation of authoritarian, top-down rulers who will try bypassing consumers and institutions. This is because it necessitates a major shift from the kind of individual responsibility we have grown used to in the past 50 years, to greater state action. Such has been the effect of an unscientific ideology that many   people are   prepared to give up flying, change their boilers and cars, eat...

KOLKATA: A trainee technician in India was crushed to death just after midnight on Wednesday (Jul 10) by the landing gear flaps on an aircraft while conducting maintenance work, airline SpiceJet said. "Inadvertently, the main landing gear hydraulic door closed and he got stuck in between the hydraulic door flaps," SpiceJet said after the incident at Kolkata airport in eastern India.Jul.11 https://bit.ly/2NMFyVG The powerful solar eclipse of July 3 fell just off the meridian at Kolkata opposite Saturn-Pluto which conjoined the MC. This   implied   that its energy would be felt strongly at the place. Since the Sun [10cn] was separated from the North Node [17cn] by 7 degrees, it took roughly 7 days (Jul. 10) to arrive at an exact conjunction with the North Node.   The conjunction of the Sun with the Node is a phenomenon known as “Moon Wobble”. Moon Wobbles were discovered in the 1930's, when research by astrologer Carl Payne Tobey (1902-1980), the original ed...
