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.

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”
This post is a continuation of the 12-Day War post about Operation Rising Lion. In this post we have a closer look at the astrology of the three belligerents in this war – Israel, Iran and the US. In doing so we will see how the tide of the war turned for each party and why. For more, read on… Continue reading “Israel, the US and Iran in Operation Rising Lion”
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”
The results are in! And the winner of the 2024 US presidential election is…Wall Street, along with the American oligarchy. The American people lost, though change is coming. The Democrats had completely lost the plot, and the election. Oh, and Donald Trump was elected as the 47th POTUS. For more, read on… Continue reading “The US presidential election of 2024”
The full moon of 18 Sep 2024 is also a partial lunar eclipse. It is also a supermoon, as well as the Harvest Moon for 2024. There will be two more supermoons after this one. But this eclipse will have some importance and bearing going into the US election in November, as well as effects for the US in April of next year. For more, read on… Continue reading “The partial lunar eclipse of 18 Sep 2024”
The total solar eclipse of 8 April 2024 is perhaps the most important eclipse of the year. There is huge hype about it in social media (see: ‘The full moon’ and ‘Eclipse humor’). Besides the fact it is a total solar eclipse, it traces its path of totality across central Mexico up through Texas, striking an arc across central states and finally passing out to sea from Newfoundland. It will be the first total solar eclipse visible in the US in seven years. The next total solar eclipse will not be visible in the US until 2044. But there is more to it than the eclipse visibility in the US. This eclipse affects the US, and in important ways, and comes at a critical juncture in American domestic and international affairs.
