Election Day 2025

November 4, 2025 was a big day in American politics. There were several elections, several ballot measures on the docket, and tensions running high across the country. In perusing the media, the only important race would appear to have been that for the Mayor of New York City. But there was much more going on of probably greater importance. That said, Zohran Mamdani swept the New York City mayoral race with a clear margin of victory over Mario Cuomo. His victory was significant, but not the most important victory in yesterday’s vote.

The 2025 Kamchatka-Krai earthquake and tsunami

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

The 12-day Israel-Iran War

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”

The Aries solar ingress for 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”

Trump v. 2.0 – Let’s change the subject

On the 20th of January 2025 Donald J. Trump was sworn in as the 47th POTUS. And the Western world held its collective breath. The Western liberal elites were alarmed. The Orange man hath returned, they thought, dreading what might come. Conservative elites were quite happy – at last, a return to sensible values, they thought. They were not to be spared. Roughly half of the American voting public was relieved and happy with the result, while the other half shared the sentiments of the liberal elites. So, the question is, what is to become of America over the next four years? And by extension, what will become of the West under this administration?
