At Paris, the Total Lunar Eclipse of May 16 fell very significantly on the horizon. In Scorpio, the Moon in her fall feels things intensely and deeply, necessitating a descent into buried emotions. It is potentially capable of unleashing overwhelming emotional tides of the psyche.

  Two European leaders over the weekend urged Russian President Vladimir Putin to end his country's hostilities in Ukraine and return to the negotiating table as the war nears the 100-day mark. In a Saturday phone call, French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz spoke with Putin, asking him to hold "direct" and "serious" talks with his Ukrainian counterpart, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, according to releases from the offices of Macron and Scholz. https://n.pr/3wWay8R Why is there a sudden flurry of activity from the European leaders to get a ceasefire in Donbass?

  With Russia's war in Ukraine now in its fourth month, mainstream media consumers have been treated to seemingly endless headlines and analysis of Russia's extensive military losses. At the same time Ukrainian forces have tended to be lionized and their battlefield prowess romanticized, with essentially zero public information so far being given which details up-to-date Ukrainian force casualties, set-backs, and equipment losses. But for the first time The Washington Post is out with a surprisingly dire and negative assessment of how US-backed and equipped Ukrainian forces are actually fairing. https://bit.ly/3z4MmnB   Many of us live in a world of delusions. A delusion is defined as a state of irrational belief that holds even when there is strong evidence to the contrary. The ability to distinguish between reality and fiction in one’s own thoughts is an important aspect of development. Reality testing plays a significant role in this process. It is the ability to see a si...

  Zelensky rips Kissinger over suggestion Ukraine cede territory to Russia The New York Times has abandoned the neoconservative demand for victory over Russia:   “A decisive military victory for Ukraine over Russia, in which Ukraine regains all the territory Russia has seized since 2014, is not a realistic goal. … Russia remains too strong…”   “… Mr. Biden should also make clear to President Volodymyr Zelensky and his people that there is a limit to how far the United States and NATO will go to confront Russia, and limits to the arms, money and political support they can muster. It is imperative that the Ukrainian government’s decisions be based on a realistic assessment of its means and how much more destruction Ukraine can sustain.”   Any astrologer could have foreseen this outcome with one look at the Ukraine horoscope. Look at the stellium of planets in the 8 th house - Sun, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter.   In general, the 8 th rules “all matters relating to ...

    Norway should share the “excess” profits it’s been making as oil and gas prices soar amid the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said at the National Youth Dialogue Congress on Saturday.   “But should we be paying Norway gigantic money for gas – four or five times more than we paid a year ago? This is sick,” he said, claiming that the excess of the annual average gas and oil profit “will exceed €100 billion” this year for a country of five million people like Norway. https://www.rt.com/business/555926-poland-norway-gas-profits/     Synastry is the art of relationship Astrology.

The MC (10 th house cusp) stands for the government and its leader so that Pluto station often brings a collapse of the existing government.   A solar eclipse occurring on the same day as the Pluto station aligned with the horizon and squared the meridian once again indicating that change of leadership was quite likely. The eclipse conjunct Uranus in Taurus implies that upheavals (Uranus) in security relate...

   In Varanasi, one of the world's oldest living cities, Hindus and Muslims have prayed close to each other in a temple and a mosque that sit cheek by jowl. The heavily-guarded complex points to its uneasy history. The Gyanvapi mosque is built on the ruins of the Vishwanath temple, a grand 16th Century Hindu shrine. The temple was partially destroyed in 1669 on the orders of Aurangzeb, the sixth Mughal emperor. Now the place is in the throes of a dispute which could stoke fresh tensions in Hindu-majority India, where Muslims are the largest religious minority. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-61476741   Eclipses have a way of bringing up the past to help resolve issues that have remained unaddressed.
