On 20 March 2026 the Sun enters the sign Aries, inaugurating the astrological New Year for 2026. It marks the spring equinox in the northern hemisphere and the autumn equinox for the southern hemisphere. This figure reveals a great concentration of force which we will address here as well as a different dynamic from what we’ve seen in the past few quarters.

On the last day of February 2026 a joint US-Israeli military operation targeted the leadership and military facilities of Iran. This was an unprovoked attack on a sovereign nation, one which had been close to making a deal with the United States on its nuclear program, one which would have given the US an even better deal than that of the JCPOA. Instead, we have what is very likely to turn out to be a wider regional war with global consequences. For more, read on… Continue reading “Operation Epic Fury”
There will be a total lunar eclipse on 3 March this year, the accompanying eclipse to that of the 17th of February. It is also the full moon. This eclipse comes at a time of high geopolitical tensions, especially in West Asia. The dynamics of the eclipse are very similar to those of the 17th of February eclipse. But there is a more pointed reason to look at this eclipse, pairing it with the previous one. For more, read on … Continue reading “The total lunar eclipse of 3 March 2026”
The Lunar New Year on 17 February 2026 begins with a solar annular eclipse, thus ringing in the Year of the Fire Horse. To have an eclipse at the start of the Lunar New Year can be seen as being most auspicious as well as being ominous. We will have a look at the eclipse in what follows. Its major effects will be seen in Europe and the Middle East. Unless one lives in Antarctica, the eclipse will not be visible except for a slight dimming of the Sun in the extreme south of South America and Africa.

Just so you know, this post has nothing to do with the famous play by Eugene O’Neill by the same name. Some of the subject matter in the play may have a role in what will follow here, though. But this isn’t theater. With the recent shootings of American citizens by ICE officers in Minneapolis, that city has become yet another bellwether for the testing of the American soul. ICE is America on the rocks. In this post we look at the origins and astrology of the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, commonly known by its acronym ICE. We have seen the ICE men, and they are here. But first, a song… Continue reading “The Iceman cometh”
In a previous post we looked at the sinking of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald, focusing on the astrology of the event itself. In this post we will focus on the launching of the ship – the birth of the ship – and compare it with the event chart to see if indeed events such as ship christenings and other birth events foreshadow significant events to the entity going into the future. For more, read on… Continue reading “The Fitz: the prequel”
There have been celebrations in many cities, mainly across the West regarding the capture kidnapping of Nicholas Maduro of Venezuela. Hi, ho, the merry-o, the brutal dictator is gone. Freedom has returned to Venezuela! So the story goes. But is it the truth? In what Trump has called “one of the most stunning, effective and powerful displays of American military might and competence in American history,” Maduro was seized by Delta Force and DEA operatives in Caracas in the early morning hours of January 3. But there is quite a bit more to the story than the theatre that has been presented to the Western public. For more, read on… Continue reading “Operation ‘Absolute Resolve’ – the kidnapping of Nicolas Maduro”
The Capricorn quarter for 2026, which started at the end of 2025, began literally with a bang, leading with the crash of a private jet flight in Turkiye two days after the ingress. This is expected to be a restive quarter, full of surprises and setbacks for some, with profound insights into the world’s inner workings on the other hand, for those fellow travellers who are more sensitive. For more, read on… Continue reading “The Capricorn solar ingress 2025”
That’s the Beach, not the Trump official. On 14 December 2025 there was a mass shooting at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia. Two gunmen opened fire on a Chabad Hanukkah gathering, killing 15 people, with one of the shooters being killed at the scene. Over forty more were wounded as of this writing. It was a terrorist attack and has been widely condemned, as it should be. But there is more to it than that. For more, read on… Continue reading “Bondi”
November 10th is a solemn day of remembrance for Merchant Mariners in the US and abroad. On that day 50 years ago, during a November storm, the SS Edmund Fitzgerald broke in half and sank to the bottom of Lake Superior. There were no survivors. In this post we take a look back at the event itself and the astrology of the event. As it turns out, there are aspects to this tragedy that have yet to be resolved even today. For more, read on… Continue reading “The wreck of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald, 50 years on”
