    Four of Cups by Pamela Colman     WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The percentages of Americans who believe in each of five religious entities -- God, angels, heaven, hell and the devil -- have edged downward by three to five percentage points since 2016. Still, majorities believe in each, ranging from a high of 74% believing in God to lows of 59% for hell and 58% for the devil. About two-thirds each believe in angels (69%) and heaven (67%).

The New Moon of July 17 was square the Nodes and fell in 9 th house at Washington DC. In previous posts we have mentioned that Sun square the Nodes is a phenomenon referred to as “Moon Wobble” and linked to personal or social upheavals. Here with the Sun in the 9 th house, the upheaval is with respect to belief systems.   Ninth House In Mundane Astrology: Religion, th...

  A religious procession escalated to violence in Haryana's Nuh on 31 July, claiming the lives of five people..The violence began 10 minutes after the procession started there around 2 pm. https://tinyurl.com/2zcrrx84       Astrologers routinely draw charts for monthly lunations, planetary ingresses, exact planetary aspects etc to understand how they affect events at any place. As always planetary combinations brought to the angles in these charts (horizon and meridian) are the ones that are most influential. A chart for the exact Mercury (Virgo) - Saturn (Pisces) oppostion of Aug. 2, drawn for Delhi has it significantly placed on the horizon. With Mars conjunct Mercury on the Ascendant  and both opposite Saturn, it is not surprising that we have a violent incident.    In his book The Pulse of Life , Dane Rudhyar described the function of Pisces thus:   Transcendence, overcoming, piercing through illusions and false security, severance of so...

  RAGE at anti-motorist schemes is spreading, with London’s Ulez cameras vandalised and removed, and other cities’ low-traffic neighbourhoods sabotaged. A group dubbed the Blade Runners claims to have snipped cables to Ulez “spies” in the capital and taken them as trophies. https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/23253811/blade-runners-snip-ulez-camera-cables/ Many events can be explained using a well timed national chart. In the chart for the United Kingdom [Jan. 1, 1801; 0:00 hrs LMT; London], Mercury [17sa] is placed in the third house (roads) conjunct the asteroids Photographica [15sa] and Ophelia [18sa]   To these entities, the solar arc progressed Sun [18le] and MC [17aq] form a trine and sextile respectively providing a progressed trigger. As the news reaches us, transit Mars [14vi] begins a square aspect to Mercury - Photographica - Ophelia.   Martha Wescott [1] provides the following interpretation:   Ophelia/Photographica   Photographs can have such ...

        A meeting of the BRICS members will take place in Johannesburg, South Africa 22-24 August 2023. In this post we look at the chart for the April 20 solar eclipse that was placed very significantly on the Ascendant at Johannesburg and examine what challenges it presents.   The BRICS have emerged as a powerful alliance of emerging-market economies over the course of the 21st century. Comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa as their acronym alludes to, the group has increasingly become the bricks and mortar which supports the global economy. One aim of the BRICS is to use cooperation to reshape the global political and economic architecture to benefit them. Can it be a coincidence that the eclipse chart has Pluto having just entered Aquarius is on the MC at Johannesburg.   Pluto is the most distant planet from life on Earth. It is the horizon between worlds, between life and death, between what has been and what will be. He rules...

  On 26 July 2023 a coup d'état occurred in Niger, in which Niger's presidential guard detained president Mohamed Bazoum and presidential guard commander general Abdourahamane Tchiani proclaimed himself as the leader of a new military junta. Presidential guard forces closed the country's borders, suspended state institutions, and declared a curfew. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Nigerien_coup_d%27%C3%A9tat     The coup in Niger is easily explained by the recent “Moon Wobble”. The Sun square the Nodes is a phenomena known as “Moon Wobble”. A chart drawn for the New Moon at Niamey, Niger has the powerful Sun-Nodes-Pluto Grand Cross aligned with the horizon.   During Moon Wobble the instability factor is high, resulting in more accidents, fires, plane crashes, freak accidents, floods, and feats of nature, bizarre weather patterns, earthquakes, tornadoes, violence, terrorism, riots, and political and personal upheavals. https://www.astrology.com.tr/articles.asp...

        “There is NO CLIMATE Emergency” Independent Foundation, Scientists sign TOTAL SIGNATORIES 1,580   https://clintel.org/open-letter-from-clintel-to-the-un-secretary-general-antonio-guterres/     The joint letter by the scientists to António Guterres, Secretary-General, United Nations was signed by Professor A.J. (Guus) Berkhout on June 23, 2023 at Amsterdam. Coincidentally, this happens to be just two days after the Sun’s entry into Cancer. A chart for this important cardinal ingress drawn for Amsterdam is significant since a powerful Grand Cross straddles the horizon axis.   For the Jupiter-Pluto square, Ebertin has ”the desire to exploit the masses” . Pluto in Capricorn represents the hierarchy in society, where authorities at the top give orders that are to be obeyed by all those below. These “orders” may be literal policies and rules of social operation, or they may be less tangible instructions concerning what we all should b...

      Below is my column in the New York Post on the last ditch effort of the members of Congress and the media to get the public to just “move on” from the Biden corruption scandal.  The message has been clear and amplified, as former U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) insisted on MSNBC, “Everybody needs to back off!” As evidence and public interest increase, it is a bit late for spin or shiny objects. This week, the scandal is likely to be even more serious for the Bidens and the country. https://tinyurl.com/32s36z6s     As the Joe Biden scandal reaches a fever pitch readers may like to revisit some of my earlier posts [1][2].   Aldebaran is a bright red star in the sky in the southern eye of the constellation Taurus, The Bull. It was seen as the god Mithra, or Ahura Mazda, the slayer of the Cosmic Bull. As well, Mithra was a warrior king who also held the title ‘lord of contracts’. He considered all exchanges were sacred and in overseeing ...

  The 43-year-old man who drowned while paddleboarding off the Edgardtown coast of Martha's Vineyard on Sunday has been identified as the personal chef to Barack and Michelle Obama. Tafari Campbell was a White House chef before coming on in the personal employ of the Obamas after President Obama left office in 2017. https://tinyurl.com/2p84vj2f   Modern astrology having lost its moorings to the constellations of fixed stars has difficulty in seeing events as manifestations of star lore. The news of the death by drowning of Obama’s chef comes just as the Moon reaches its First Quarter phase. A chart for the Moon phase at Edgardtown has it placed very significantly aligned with the meridian as part of a Grand Cross with Pluto and the Nodes.   Sun square the nodes is referred to as a “Moon Wobble” which causes freak accidents by bringing “suppressed energies in people and Mother Nature to the surface, erupting and disrupting”. With Pluto also square the nodes we have a Moo...

  Understanding the world around us depends on our power to perceive patterns of meaning and to make the right connections. Often we miss a lot when we cannot see the common thread connecting events linked to the same planetary combination. Of late the Sun-Pluto-Node Grand Cross has been operative in several events covered at this blogsite.   Here we look at the consequences of the Sun-Pluto opposition chart drawn for Kiev, Ukraine, where the Grand Cross aligns with the meridian.   In his book, “The Combination of Stellar Influences” , for Pluto/Node in its difficult expression, Ebertin has:   - A common and tragic destiny of a large mass of people   To this if we add two other pieces of information, things become much clearer (a) Pluto is in Capricorn (b) Pluto is in 6 th house.   In this context I refer to two earlier posts [1][2] that serve as excellent examples of positive responses to the Sun-Pluto-Node Grand Cross.   The Lion that escaped fr...

  Pisces Australis, the Southern Fish Shark Week show delves into whether sharks off the coast of Florida are coming into contact with the huge quantities of cocaine that get dumped in these waters.   For decades, huge bundles of cocaine have washed up on Florida beaches, having been smuggled from South and Central America. Hauls are often dumped at sea (both to give to smugglers and evade law enforcement), and currents and tides push them to shore. In June, the U.S. Coast Guard seized over 14,100 pounds (6,400 kilograms) of cocaine in the Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean, with an estimated value of $186 million. https://tinyurl.com/44z6d9jx     Astrologers routinely draw charts for monthly lunations, planetary ingresses, exact planetary aspects etc to understand how they affect events at any place. As always planetary combinations brought to the angles in these charts (horizon and meridian) are the ones that are most influential. Presented here is the chart for ...
