  Aries the Ram butting Cassiopeia The labor-organizing bug has clearly caught on in NYC - from the Amazon warehouse employees who package and ship products to the doormen who receive the packages on the other end of the "last mile" and deliver them to their well-heeled residents One week after workers at an Amazon facility on Staten Island succeeded in their vote to unionize (a vote that the company is now trying to contest), a group of doormen for Manhattan's elite buildings are driving a hard bargain, and threatening to go on strike if their demands aren't met, in their latest round of contract negotiations, according to a report from WSJ. https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/nyc-doormen-threaten-first-strike-30-years     We are now close enough to the upcoming solar eclipse of April 30 for it to begin manifesting itself in world events. Here is the chart of the eclipse drawn for New York. The eclipse is placed among the stars of Aries, the butting Ram and the pr...

  Sabian for Pisces 25 Paris - After a decade of meticulous measurements, scientists announced Thursday that a fundamental particle -- the W boson -- has a significantly greater mass than theorised, shaking the foundations of our understanding of how the universe works. Those foundations are grounded by the Standard Model of particle physics, which is the best theory scientists have to describe the most basic building blocks of the universe, and what forces govern them. April 7 https://www.sott.net/article/466436-Mystery-boson-finding-contradicts-understanding-of-universe   The upcoming Full Moon of April 16 aligns very significantly with the horizon axis at Paris. But more importantly, the Jupiter-Neptune conjunction makes hard aspects to the Moon and the MC. In the last few posts, I discussed several manifestations of the Jupiter-Neptune conjunction There are I wrote:   The combination of Jupiter and Neptune in Pisces will necessitate a descent into the dissolutio...

  The phone call to the Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Wednesday by Israel’s alternate Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Yair Lapid adds to the tectonic shifts in the geopolitics of the Middle East of late. Lapid reached out to China within ten days of the visit by the US Secretary of State to Israel. The Chinese readout plays up the Israeli overture, quoting Lapid as making a strong pitch for the two countries who “understand and appreciate each other” to leverage their “strong innovation capacity” for “accelerating the modernisation process.” Lapid stated Israel’s interest in maintaining close high-level exchanges and deepening cooperation in various fields with China. https://www.globalresearch.ca/israel-reaches-out-china-again/5776862     The reasons behind many world events are often obscure, covered as they are by lies, deception or just diplomatic jargon. Mundane astrology offers a way to see through the fog. In the previous post I spo...

    The Aries New Moon on 1 April 2022 involves the tension of two diametrically opposed astrological themes: Mars uniting with Saturn versus Jupiter uniting with Neptune. Mars and Saturn can involve the harshest aspects of strife and suffering we must face in reality. There are constructive ways to work with Mars and Saturn combined together, yet cyclic renewal of Mars and Saturn typically involves brutal collective events such as the present war in Ukraine. On the other hand Jupiter-Neptune is all about compassion as well as overcoming belief systems that may have kept us down and out.   For readers who may be unaware, a powerful outer planet conjunction can be felt in at least the following ways:   (a) The conjunction can fall on an element of a chart (radix or directed). (b) It can appear on the angles of a derived chart e.g. a solar or a lunar return. (c) In mundane charts e.g. eclipses, ingresses, moon phases ect, it can be be significantly placed, aspec...

  Fox News host Tucker Carlson noted that footage of Joe Biden wandering around the White House on his own as the rest of his handlers and Democratic underlings fawn before a visiting Barack Obama is a perfect visualisation of what the future holds.  After playing the footage, Carlson pointed out that “no one in Washington thinks the Biden presidency is glorious anymore. They think it’s a disaster. Polls show that voters strongly agree. Joe Biden is now the most unpopular person in virtually any room he enters.” https://bit.ly/3Jf8kFB   Astrologers have long recognized that eclipses tend to bring about endings and new beginnings. They offer a time to resynchronize our selves with the ever-changing cosmic currents supporting our evolutionary progression in consciousness. Eclipses are especially significant for individuals when they trigger important elements of their charts.   The upcoming lunar eclipse [25sc] of May 16 which falls close to the MC at his birthplace i...

  Tesla CEO Elon Musk now owns 9.2 percent of Twitter according to a 13G filing released today, Bloomberg News reports. According to the filing, Musk purchased the stake on March 14th. Musk has long been one of Twitter’s highest profile users and recently polled his over 80 million followers about the platform’s adherence to free speech. Twitter’s share price was up over 25 percent in pre-market trading on the news. Musk had been publicly calling into question Twitter’s approach to free speech via a poll conducted on his Twitter account on March 25th. “Free speech is essential to a functioning democracy.April 4 https://bit.ly/3K8hpS1   The horoscope of Twitter as provided by Deborah Houlding [1] is reproduced here. With Moon and Pluto rising opposite Mars and the TNP Hades, we can see why Twitter has become a controlled platform (Pluto) for venting anger and hate (Mars-Hades).  Now take a look at the current lunar return chart for Twitter. Notice Uranus-Pluto-Poseidon ...

  Andromeda and Cetus Today I want to talk about Japan as a US satellite state and what US hegemony means for the situation in Japan, the Japanese economy, culture and language...The US burned Tokyo to the ground during World War II and dropped atomic bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Since then, Japan has been a vassal of the world power USA, and had lived so relatively well because: important colony in Asia. http://thesaker.is/brutal-the-truth-about-japan-from-tokyo-university/     A study of a national chart can help understand the problems with which the nation struggles and especially if it has been a colony like Japan. The horoscope of postwar Japan as provided by Nick Campion [1] is reproduced here.  As in any analysis, the position of the Sun and the aspects it receives is a great way to start. Here the Sun is conjunct the stars Almach of Andromeda and Menkar of Cetus. Readers unfamiliar with the story can read it up here [2]. For our purpose, it is suffic...

  Today we have a Mars-Saturn conjunction at [22aq]. . The conjunction began on March 27, is exact and separating on April 4, and persists until April 13. Mars-Saturn is a pernicious interaction that can easily tend toward violence as a way of solving differences, and while its energy can also be applied to dangerous situations that require extraordinary precision, managing such power requires finding a way to navigate an often grueling obstacle course. When not well handled, a hasty and impulsive Mars meets an unmovable object resulting in an accident or violence.   Readers can look for news that can serve as examples of the Mars-Saturn energy. Here are some that are I picked up:   Russia’s national chart [December 25, 1991; 17:20 UT; Moscow] has its descendant at [21aq] and Russia’s president Putin (b. October 7, 1952; 9:30 am; St. Petersburg) has his radix Pluto [22le] on the MC. Therefore, the Mars-Saturn conjunction [22aq] affects both these charts. The desc...

  The Celestial Ship - Argo Navis A major bunker fuel contamination has been reported in Singapore, the world's largest bunkering hub, with dozens of ships receiving tainted high sulfur fuel oil (HSFO) that has led to dangerous power blackouts, according to Bloomberg.  Fuel testing firm Veritas Petroleum Services (VPS) reports 34 vessels were identified to have received HSFO from two unidentified Singapore suppliers between February and March. The marine fuel contained up to 2,000 parts per million (ppm) of chlorinated hydrocarbons. March 2 https://bit.ly/378HMc2   In this post we will see the importance of the national horoscope and the elegance with which it can show events like the one in the news. Singapore announced its independence from British on August 9th 1965 at 10am . This marks the birth of The Republic of Singapore. The horoscope of Singapore based on this data is shown here.   The Sun [16le] is the apex of a T-square with Neptune [17sc] and Hades [...

  Scarabaeus – the Dung Beetle Pakistan PM names ‘foreign power’ that wants him toppled. Imran Khan accuses the US of meddling as no-confidence vote looms. https://www.rt.com/news/553080-pakistan-khan-us-no-confidence/     Much like the horoscope of an individual, nations have their own horoscopes. A study of a nation’s chart can help understand the most serious problems faced by the nation. India and Pakistan are twins born on 14/15 Aug. 1947. Presented here are their charts based on their independence from British colonial rule.   Transit Saturn is opposite their common Sun -Venus - Saturn - Pluto conjunction and Uranus is building up to a square. Generally this is a period when the nation in general and leaders in particular go through a hard time. There may be breakthroughs (or unexpected developments) in long term problematic situations. Stress and tension can create uncompromising situations that force a disruption or break (or some form of Emancipa...
