Libra is the sign most associated with choice. Choices made on the bases of emotions and weighing options can be slow and maddening to onlookers. But choices made according to consciousness – of the soul – can happen in an instant. In the Libra quarter for this year choices made over the course of this quarter will reach far into the coming year. We have, in ways, reached some points of no return… Continue reading “The Libra solar ingress 2025”
On the 21st of September 2025 a partial solar eclipse will take place over the South Pacific. This is the last of three lunations in Virgo, making this also an astrological blue new moon. The eclipse also ushers in the Libra equinox. Kiwis should get a good view of the eclipse, with the maximum view at Invercargill, South Island. If you happen to be in Antarctica at the time the maximum eclipse will be visible at the Mario Zucchelli Station. This is a south node eclipse, with the major mundane effect being that of bringing hard realities to earth with a hard thump.

It produced a tsunami wave 5m high at the nearby Kuril Islands, with much lesser tsunamis reported across the northern Pacific coastline.

In the early morning hours of Jun 13th 2025 Tehran as rocked by a series of explosions. The Israelis had just launched ‘Operation Rising Lion’, an attempt at overthrowing the leadership of Iran – a regime-change operation. The Israelis claimed the attacks were targeted to destroy Iran’s nuclear program, but the operation’s title gave the real game away. It was an attack the Israelis would very soon come to regret, as the astrology shows. For more, read on… Continue reading “The 12-day Israel-Iran War”

The Sun entered the sign Cancer early in the morning of June 21st UTC. We were in what was to be the last days of a brief war between Israel and Iran, which will be covered in a separate post. On the day after the ingress Trump launched an attack on the Iranian uranium enrichment facilities, which at the time seemed as though the act might provoke a regional war with devastating consequences. But only a couple of days after that, a tentative cessation of hostilities is in effect. No analyst worth their salt expects it to last, at which point the war would flare up again, entering its next phase. That conflict has set the tone for this quarter, as we will see. This quarter, like the Aries quarter, looks to be a restive, even violent one. For more about what this quarter should bring, read on… Continue reading “The Cancer solar ingress 2025”

As was forecast for the Capricorn quarter last year, the year thus far has been a pretty wild ride. Between Trump, the DOGE, the reshuffling of American politics, events in Ukraine and Europe, events in West Asia, we might think the worst is behind us, that peace is coming. It’s just around the corner, right? Maybe…..or maybe not. The Sun enters Aries today, the 20th of March. From appearances this quarter may be calmer than the one just passed. But appearances can be deceiving. For more, read on… Continue reading “The Aries solar ingress for 2025”
