On the morning of the full moon, 10 Oct 2022 Russian missiles began to rain down on Ukrainian infrastructure. And then the lights started going out. The conflict in Ukraine has just intensified. After the Ukrainians (by their own admission) tried to blow up the Kerch Strait Bridge the Russians finally decided enough was enough. That was their red line. Those missiles were the first wave of what will probably be continuing strikes again Ukrainian infrastructure. It will also hasten the end of the war.

Ukrainian Armageddon (?)
The internet has been flush with talk of nuclear war in Ukraine in the last week, especially since the big two sabotage events – Nord Stream and Kerch Strait. Such talk is a sign of desperation, though, by the side that is losing. And the Russians are saying there will be no nukes used unless there is a threat to the very existence of the Russian state. Russia is under no such threat at the moment. So, will there be nuclear Armageddon in Ukraine? – very doubtful. However Armageddon has been unleashed in Ukraine, of a general kind. For more, read on… Continue reading “Ukrainian Armageddon (?)”
The 25 Oct 2022 partial solar eclipse
As the title of this post indicates, there will be a partial solar eclipse on the 25th of October 2022. It comes at a time of tumultuous developments in the world, very fitting for Scorpio, the sign in which it occurs. Scorpio is the sign of the victorious warrior, having claimed victory over the inner demons, illusions, glamours and maya that have beset humanity since there has been a humanity on this planet. There is more about victory scattered about in this post, too. For more, read on… Continue reading “The 25 Oct 2022 partial solar eclipse”
Of Liz Truss, the UK and asparagus
We’ll let this classic by Emerson, Lake and Palmer kick off this post:

Nord Stream – The gauntlet has been thrown down
Starting early in the morning on 26 September an explosion was registered in the Baltic Sea by the Danish Geological Survey near the island of Bornholm in the Danish economic exclusion zone. Exactly 17 hours later a second explosion was registered, this time northeast of the same island. Since then methane gas has been pouring out of the Nordstream pipelines, thus shutting off Germany’s only direct supply of natural gas from Russia. It was an act of war and a heinous act of ecoterrorism, as well as endangering the lives and livelihoods of millions of Germans and other European citizens by extension. The question is, who was responsible? Read on to find out… Continue reading “Nord Stream – The gauntlet has been thrown down”
Novorossiya reconstituted?
“There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen.” (Vladimir Lenin)
From the Libra equinox to the 27th of September four oblasts in present-day Ukraine voted on whether or not to secede from Ukraine and join the Russian Federation. The result was almost unanimous in all four: Thus starts the breakup of Ukraine. Those regions are now a part of Russia, from 30 September, whether the West accepts it or not. That is how the Russians see the matter now, as closed. Along with that, Russia has just announced a partial mobilization of its reserve forces, to the tune of just over 1%. Apparently and from the propaganda in the Western media proceeding from those events, the Western elites are apoplectic. We will examine all that here, starting with Ukraine’s astrology.

Italy’s historic vote
On the 25th of this month we went to the polling stations in Italy and cast our vote for the Prime Minister and Senate. Meloni was widely forecast to win the PM’s seat, which she did, landing her as the first female PM in Italian history. It was a great day for women in politics. And just who is Giorgia Meloni, for those who don’t follow Italian politics? Well, to hear the Western liberal press, she is the leader of a far-right, neo-fascist party, making her the most far-right prime minister since Mussolini. Fascism is returning to Italy! – or so the press would have us believe. What is the truth? We’ll start to unpack that a little here, along with a brief look at Meloni. Continue reading “Italy’s historic vote”
The Libra solar ingress 2022
The Sun enters Libra on Friday, 23 September just after 01:00 UT, signalling the Libra equinox. It also signals the coming of winter in the northern hemisphere and what is shaping up to be a very ‘interesting’ period across the Western world. Federal elections will be held in Italy two days after, where a right-wing coalition government is slated to take power. It will be a sign of the times for the EU if so. And to make things even more interesting, on the day of the equinox this year, four Ukrainian oblasts will begin voting to secede from Ukraine and become part of the Russian Federation. For more, read on… Continue reading “The Libra solar ingress 2022”
Ukraine’s dark winter?
Something big is about to go down in Ukraine. This will be the first of a two-part post, once we know more. But for the present, we deal with what has taken place in the last few weeks there. A distinct change in the character of the conflict in Ukraine has been noted. Starting at the end of August Ukrainian forces backed and partially manned by NATO forces launched counteroffensives, first in the Kherson region and later in the Kharkov Oblast. The latter was hailed in Western media as a great success to obsequious fanfare. Across social media, Ukraine supporters were gloating on ‘the knockout blow to Putin’ and how his fall was imminent (not likely, BTW) and Russian supporters were initially thrown into panic. As is usual in such cases, the media reporting was a psyop. The truth on the ground is somewhat different, which we will examine here. Continue reading “Ukraine’s dark winter?”
King Charles III and his royal pains
Prince Charles became King Charles III at the moment of the Queen’s death. He inherits vast wealth, for sure, but more than that he presides over a very troubled realm, as well as now being the head of a family with a very checkered past and ancestry. We will look at all of that here and what he faces. Continue reading “King Charles III and his royal pains”
