Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has a 19-year history of beating American war drums against Iran. Yesterday, he addressed a Joint Session of Congress and did just that in what some pundits call an unprecedented act. Netanyahu also addressed t…

Bitter Lake
Adam Curtis’ extraordinary and beautiful documentary, Bitter Lake, mesmerises. Archival footage from the BBC, overlaid with a textured, eclectic soundscape creates an experience that leaves you breathless, wondering at the new world order that you sense, and at a new art form for the internet age. Ostensibly, Bitter Lake is a partial explanation of how the West wildly misunderstood Afghanistan. There are, as you might expect, an authoritative sounding voice over, subtitles and clips of world leaders shaking hands and soldiers fighting. But instead of delivering a load of facts to chew over, like most documentaries, Bitter Lake leaves you with a set of […]

Something about Mercury, Neptune and a name…
So anyways, it’s been a mad mad week. In parts it’s also been a mad bad week. This has been partly because I’m just back from holidays* and (in this weeks surprising news) wanted to still be on holidays, and…Read more →
National Journal: The Rise of Dark Money and the Koch Party
The plot to seize the White House just after FDR took office (and thus collapse all social safety net programs) continues apace in 2015 with Campaign 2016 on the political menu and The Rise of Dark Money and the Koch Party in the spotlight. Wait. Did I…

Venus entered Pisces today, and she’s within orb of a square to Saturn (at 3 degrees Sag) exact on January 30th. I discussed this in the weekly horoscopes, but I wanted to say a bit more about this aspect. I … Continue reading →

Papantonio: Defense Contractors Try To Gut Whistleblowers – video
Fraud loving Neptune now floating through its own murky, sometimes criminal sign of Pisces, just keeps outdoing itself as it expresses in the real world. And usually on Capitol Hill. Iraq war contractors, government fraud, the pharmaceutical industry-…
The Waves and the Wall: Mars in Pisces Squares Saturn
Mars entered Pisces today, kicking off a square to Saturn in Sagittarius (exact on January 15th at 2 degrees). Creative or faith-driven actions will be challenged by Saturn’s reality, and Saturn’s structure will be challenged by vague irrit…
Neptune At The Movies
It’s Boxing Day, a perfect day for slothing on the sofa and succumbing to the magic world of the movies. I’ve noted before that I think this period of Neptune in Pisces (2011-2024) should be great for the moving image. One thing that’s already clear is that we’re going through a wonderful period for TV drama. Now that we watch episodes back to back, we’re diving right into that ocean of imagination in just the way our ancestors immersed themselves in those huge novels back in the 1850s, last time Neptune was in Pisces. In this country at any rate, something else […]

Venus in Capricorn Sextile Neptune
Nice little aspect tomorrow (December 14th). Venus in Capricorn sextiles Neptune, at 5 degrees Pisces. Neptune softens Venus in Cap’s edge, making her about more (Neptune expands) than social position or responsibility. Venus gives Neptune backb…
It Hurts, But Keep Moving
Mars (action, initiative) in Capricorn inconjuncts Jupiter (expansion, optimism) at 22 degrees Leo today (exact this evening). There’s potential to aim too high (Jupiter) or take action that ends up undercutting your confidence. The inconjunct de…
