If you listen to the podcast, you’ll know that I’ve been certain of the outcome of the 4 July General Election in the UK since it was announced. Two reasons. First: the mood of the country was clear, and second: the conjunction of Jupiter and Uranus in April. The last two times this conjunction occurred […]

Oct 11, 2018: For those who may be interested, The Guardian has published a Timeline concerning Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi’s disappearance on October 2, 2018 going into the Saudi embassy in Istanbul, Turkey, "after lunch." Here is the country’s January 15, 1902 horoscope (one of three or more) for Saudi Arabia with October 2, 2018 planets highlighted in green surrounding the chart
Hot-metal printing was finally killed off in the mid-1980s. Its demise had been a long time coming, as it was superseded by other cleaner, faster, cheaper technologies. London’s print unions were some of the last in the world to hold out, in the Wapping Dispute with Rupert Murdoch’s News International. When they caved in February 1987, it was the end. Imagine though, a composing room, in 1983 or even 1883. Lead type melts, is moulded, banged into place on the composing stones with wooden mallets by the compositor. On one side of the stone, the compositor; on the other, the editor: jobs strictly delineated. Editors […]

Once again it’s time for the 10th annual G-20 Summit which is being held in Antalya, Turkey. The event spreads before and after for various groups but the main leaders get together on November 15 and 16, 2015 with Sun (leadership) in secretive Scorpio and the Moon in ambitious Capricorn. And of course the Moon’s sign clues us in on the mood of the two days–of the attendees and of the public-
If you didn’t believe in the power of astrological symbols before, you should now. The chart I use for the Republic of Turkey is set for the declaration of the Turkish Republic in 1923, absurdly recent for a country with such a long history, but as you can see from the transits to the chart below, accurate. On Saturday, two bombs ripped apart a peace demonstration in Ankara, the Turkish capital, killing more than 90 people and hospitalising dozens. This was the biggest terrorist attack in modern Turkish history. You can read more about it here. Who is responsible? Some say […]
