The astrology of the coming weeks promises high drama, epic sweep and lasting impact. No one is likely to get away unmoved: some of us will go up and some of us will go down, some of us will watch it on TV. There will be endings, but there will also be music and sweet promise. And it’s already started — as of March 10 or so we are in a period of upheaval. For example, an extraordinary cyclone has flattened the Pacific archipelago of Vanuatu, right in the path of next month’s lunar eclipse, which happens to take place at 14° Libra, within a […]

Saturn retrograde. What we’ve consistently persisted in building and accomplishing, will slowly start to grow exhaustingly heavy with Saturn stationing retrograde on Saturday, March 14. Saturn is the great disciplinary for responsibily and inner strength, which is also connected with rules, duties, tradition, ties that bind, self-discipline, restrictions and consequences. Whatever we’ve been carrying to enforce conditions, will finally start to […]
Yes, at midnight tonight it’s debt ceiling time again and the US Congress has been privileged to set such a limit since 1939. The limitation doesn’t mean more budget-busting spending, it means satisfying obligations the US government has already taken …
Lush with satin and velvet, beautifully lit by candles and England’s cool northern daylight, the TV adaptation of Wolf Hall is as enthralling as the book. At the centre of the bedizened, voluptuous court of Henry VIII, there is a still, dark point, Thomas Cromwell. For more on the story and why — astrologically speaking — it has had such an impact on the collective imagination, read my piece about the novel here. Mark Rylance is mesmerising as Cromwell — still, watchful, intelligent. Of course, he is beautifully directed, and supported by an outstanding cast, notably Damian Lewis as the king (epitomsing Cancer Sun/Aries Moon), and Clare […]

Media reports tell us that the city of Rome is now under threat by jihadists looking to settle a very old score as the next world war brews. Wonder if the pope is feeling anxious?
From The Independent: Italy warned Libyan jihadists are ‘just south of Rome’.
Fears in Italy of an imminent Islamic terror attack mounted after Libya-based Isis affiliates warned the jihadist group was now “just south of Rome”.
The old East vs West conflict replays in the New Millennium as the East uses extreme violence to establish its own version of ‘global governance’…just as Western ‘new world order’ promoters knew they would. To me it seems the influence of the August 11, 1999 Solar Eclipse is starkly revealed by such brutality and power struggles. As you know, this is the eclipse Nostradamus emphasized, the one with its *Oxen, Lion, Eagle, and Angel Points featured as noted in the Book of Revelation—when the angels ‘let go the winds of war’. And war is precisely what has been unleashed thanks to power elite politicians, their enablers and financial backers, and “insurgents” as Washington prefers to call them.
Of course, we in the West use our own blend of brutality, violence, torture, snipers, assassinations, and bombs, don’t we? And it’s usually veiled by propaganda such as “spreading democracy”. Even western sanctions against other nations via the UN may starve and kill; meanwhile millions of refugees are created and many are knocking on western doors.
Currently Jupiter now traverses Rx and Direct through the sign of Leo so the planet of increase and expansion now affects the degree (18Leo) of the 1999 “King of Terror” Eclipse (or, ‘King of Alarm’ Eclipse including financial crises) which is also called the ‘Mother of All Eclipses’ in the 1 North Saros Series which began on January 4, 1639 @13Cap48. At the least, we now have two sensitized degrees from the 1N Series: 18Leo and 13Cap long with their opposite degrees (18AQ and 13Cancer–the degree of America’s natal Sun on July 4, 1776.) Yes, there are rules for the duration of influence for eclipses but to me, this eclipse’s powerful affects are ongoing for all of humanity.
As you know, assassin Pluto, powerful and wealthy representative of The Underworld and of the Pope, now creeps through Capricorn and has opposed US natal Venus, Jupiter, and most recently, US natal Sun (the president). You do not need Astrology to tell you about the major conflicts and government topplings the transformative Pluto transit describes in an As Above, So Below fashion for the news media tells plutonian tales 24/7.
1N themes include a caution against making hasty decisions because information is ‘distorted and possibly false’ and ‘unexpected events’ along with fatigue and health problems (Brady.) Sometimes it seems the US government has lost any ability it ever had to tell the truth to the public. Not that Washington is the only one using falsehood as a tactic to get its way.
Adding to the intensity is the ongoing Cardinal Square between Uranus and Pluto, the revolutionary pair. Their 7th and last exact square occurs on March 16, 2015 though sighs of relief on that date would be premature.
Events and people born under the 1N Series include: the UN, the first atomic bomb attack, the assassination of John F. Kennedy, and Washington Irving, author of Sleepy Hollow, a novel that now inspires a FOX TV show of the same name which uses such themes as prophecy, horsemen and the Apocalypse, demonic possession, a ‘new world order’, life vs death, reincarnation, satanism and witchcraft, and Witnesses. Needless to say, the atmosphere of and the events occurring on Sleepy Hollow ring out with vibes of the outer planets, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, with Mars, god of war, nearby.
And I might even say that the Solar Eclipse of August 11, 1999 influences the show’s themes, too. Someone is certainly placing these dark themes within the Collective Unconscious with the satanic ‘entertainment’ fare we’re constantly fed.
Here listed are the Solar Eclipses of 2015, 2016, and 2017 with a few details; #6 is the next manifestation in the 1 North Series.
*Mid-degrees of Taurus (oxen), Leo (Lion), Scorpio (eagle), and Aquarius (angel).

Twelve people at the offices of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo were gunned down on January 7. In the same week, Saudi blogger Raif Badawi received the first 50 lashes of his 1000-lash sentence for blasphemy, ironically, an echo of the Charlie Hebdo cover that caused such offense in 2011 — “1000 lashes if you don’t die laughing”. Not to mention the on-going incarceration of Palestinian poet Ashraf Fayad in Saudi also, for blasphemous verses. Islamofascism (still apparently a contested term, but loosely defined as a political ideology based on Islam) has been gaining in strength for decades, but its […]
