The 6th of January, the tech companies and the Patriot Act v. 2.0

Continued from Part I. Since the events on the 6th at the US Capitol, the tech companies have been busy banning people and groups, censoring anything that hints of violent speech, conspiracies and so forth, with Twitter purging over 70,000 accounts related to QAnon alone, and this after banning Trump himself for life. This is a move that will haunt them for years to come, as reaction has been swift, and the fall in the stock prices of Twitter and Facebook alone having tanked by $51 billion as of this writing. Facebook has borne the lion’s share of the lost stock price – karma, perhaps. Continue reading “The 6th of January, the tech companies and the Patriot Act v. 2.0”

An American epiphany – and more to come

Def: Epiphany – a moment of sudden and great revelation or realization. Wednesday (Jan 6) was a public holiday here in Italy, being a religious celebration. In the Catholic world it is the Day of the Epiphany, the Christian feast day that celebrates the revelation (theophany) of God incarnate as Jesus Christ. It was the day when the Magi paid a visit to the Christ child, the day also known as the Three Kings Day. It Italy it is also known as the day of Befana, who is a broomstick-riding old woman who brings gifts or a lump of coal to the kids. Yeah, it’s like a 2nd Christmas morning for the kids. She missed out on the Magi thing, so she has to work hard through the night bringing gifts to the other kids as a penance. But yesterday also had a great significance to the United States, and we watched all the goings-on here in Italy from across the pond. It was certainly a day of great realization for America, and a day of epiphany. The rest of the world looked on in disbelief. Continue reading “An American epiphany – and more to come”

The planetary indicators for 2021

Got a feelin’ ’21 is gonna be a good year? With last year in mind, we would probably have good reason not to be over-optimistic. But we start with a song:

“You didn’t hear it. You didn’t see it. You won’t say nothin’ to no one ever in your life. You never heard it, How absurd it, all seems without any proof… You won’t say nothin’ to no one. Never tell a soul, what you know is the truth” Apt lyrics, because 2021 will be the year of the great gaslighting across the West, along with a big dose of censorship. Je suis Tommy. Continue reading “The planetary indicators for 2021”

Varuna: Progress starts with a little imagination

In the growing pantheon of new astrological planets, albeit small ones, there is one of particular interest to more esoterically inclined astrologers, which has its meaning grounded on the Vedas and Theosophical writings. This little planet was discovered in the year 2000 and is now known to us as Varuna (with the accent on the 1st syllable). Its symbolism is most interesting and revealing. It is also said to be connected with Neptune and Uranus. So, without further ado, meet Varuna. Continue reading “Varuna: Progress starts with a little imagination”

Biden: Adventures in chart rectification

Given Joe Biden is now the de facto victor in the Presidential race in the US, we want to have a closer look at his astrology. In this post that is all we will be doing, instead of looking at charges of corruption, his character or whether or not he will ‘restore the soul of America’. Opinions are just as hardened about Biden as they are about Trump. But such is the state of play in the US. It has been so for several decades now and will be into the future. There was a discussion of the latter in the Sagittarius letter for this year. But on subject, the birth time for Biden is given from memory from a piece in 1987 and looks to be rounded off. With that in mind, it would be a good idea to have a closer look and probably rectify his chart a little, especially if/when he becomes President. Continue reading “Biden: Adventures in chart rectification”

America and the 14 Dec 2020 solar eclipse

There will be an eclipse in less than a week, on 14 Dec 2020, which will fall across from the US Mars and across Donald Trump’s natal full moon axis. What could possibly go wrong? I have read comment to the effect that America has not been this divided since the Civil War. Maybe so. But the date of the eclipse perhaps will register for people who know a bit of civics: It’s the date when the Electoral College has to declare who won the election. The media has declared Biden the winner. Trump and most of his supporters are crying voter fraud. And Trump wanted to take this all the way to the SCOTUS. Who will prevail, and if voter fraud is proven, what next? And since Trump’s claims have been overall dismissed by the courts, including the SCOTUS, what next? We’ll have a look at the astrology of what will be a most interesting eclipse and historical moment in the annals of US elections here. But, before we get to the astrology and the background, we’ll begin with a quote to set the tone. Continue reading “America and the 14 Dec 2020 solar eclipse”

The Capricorn ingress 2020 and the Great Conjunction

We are in for a rare treat at Christmastime this year, starting with the Capricorn ingress of the Sun at the solstice. It will precede by a couple of hours an event that takes place every 20 years. What’s so rare about it, then, you might ask? The 20 year bit refers to the Jupiter/Saturn conjunctions, which happen at that interval of time. But this one happens to be at the solstice on the first degree of Aquarius, and it will be the closest one such since 1623, appearing almost as a Christmas star. Nice! No doubt you have heard about it by now, and no doubt quite a bit of woo-factor in relation to it. We will have a look first at what the ingress holds for the next quarter, and then an in-depth look at what this Great Conjunction will actually produce. Continue reading “The Capricorn ingress 2020 and the Great Conjunction”

Fakhrizadeh: What his death really means

On 27 Nov 2020 Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, a prominent Iranian physicist, was murdered in what can only be described as a professionally executed act of state sponsored terrorism. It was a pre-planned assassination that has been roundly denounced, if not condemned, even by a US official. We don’t have any birth details on Fakhrizadeh himself, and in our considerations to follow, it doesn’t matter anyway. What is important is what his assassination means to the wider world, the region, and specifically Iran, the US and Israel, the latter two being blamed for the event, and for obvious reasons, to be outlined as we go along. This post will be the first of several on the matter, as this event is a very significant event in the history of Israel and Iran, and the influence of the Zionist lobby in the United States. Continue reading “Fakhrizadeh: What his death really means”

The changing fortunes of No. 10

There have been some goings-on at No. 10 in London over the past days. Cain and Cummings have ‘resigned’ – actually have been summarily dismissed. That’s ‘Dom’ Cummings and Lee Cain, the dynamic duo of Brexit and the fingernails-on-blackboards for Ministers and journalists alike. Apparently, not too many people are sad to see them go. Regarding their departure, as a friend of mine used to say, “Glad to see your back!” In other words, good riddance. Then, to top it off, Boris is self-isolating again, something about exposure to a mild flu virus. ‘Where’s Boris?’ is trending again on Twitter. We’ll look at the astrology of all that here and what it means. Continue reading “The changing fortunes of No. 10”

An update on Trump

In a previous post on this site we had a look at Donald Trump’s adventure with the coronavirus and resulting COVID-19 illness. We have all probably seen doubts as to his ever really having had the illness. But his astrology clearly showed it, and his subsequently being healed of the disease. In this post we want to look a little bit ahead, because there was more to Trump’s story than was covered at the time. As well, we will look at the course of his illness and why, as so many people had hoped, Trump was not finished off by COVID, either by death or in leaving office. Trump’s troubles are not over, however, and there remain other possibilities for health matters to crop up. This is not a post on wishful thinking or warning, but instead a look at his situation in the light of cold analysis. Continue reading “An update on Trump”
