Dear Marjorie
NYT is reporting Project 2025 is alive and well and moving into position with the transition team. Could you please take a second look at it?
The insanity that is going on in the US right now is truly a lot to process.
Thanks very much for your work
Marjorie I like this page. Interesting articles. Your horoscopes are always insightful filled with detail yet pragmatic. Thanks for your hard work.
Just read about the death of a Russian chef called Alexei Zimin (not reported as suspicious).
Would love to see/hear more about his chart.
The Guardian describes him as ‘ “much more than just his literary and culinary talents.”
“He cooked, he sang, he wrote, he spoke – he embodied life itself, a zest for life. Intelligent, witty, joyful.’
Another quote here:“He engaged in everything – from writing to culinary arts – and did it all with remarkable success. His approach was deeply humanistic, driven by joy and a genuine care for people. Outwardly, he was just as warm and joyful.”
Born in Dubna, 13th December 1971 (can’t find a birth time, sorry).
Is it Neptune in Pisces that has brought about so much information about narcissism? There’s been an explosion of information online. I was raised by a narcissist who drinks Trump’s kool aid and then I married a narcissist but I never really understood the pathology (and was able to start healing from it) until around Trump’s first administration. I wonder if Neptune in Aries will help people to finally be done with these narcissists through awareness and then shunning.
Trump was a bit of a damp squib, wasn’t it? Nothing has happened so far. The sky didn’t fall down? And also the elections went ahead without UFOs or catastrophic events as predicted by some. What is the projection for Trump’s leadership? I am imagining trying to balance all of those extreme left wing policies and political correctness may help ease things. The vocal and angel-ised left and the silenced and demonised right wasn’t helping, was it? Trump seems to be a sanitised version since the last whirl we had with him? What has happened to Biden, where has he been wheeled to on his castors? I imagine a scene like the Budapest Soviet Statue Park where they warehouse all these awful dinosaurs like Obama, Sunak, Biden, Harris. Macron, Netanyhu, Sisi et al….Here’s hopin’! Do give us, particularly economy, a prediction under Trump.
Instead of smirking you could try Search. 6 November is the most recent post on the subject
To Bea, or not to troll? That is the question. Whether tis more noble to go over to X with this ordure.
I don’t remember anyone predicting anti-Trump ufos, but perhaps I wasn’t paying enough attention.
Nice. Love it. I think she was trying to start something.
Solaia—I’m an astrology novice but I would say Neptune in Pisces has been the defining and most difficult period of my life thus far. I dealt with intense acute health challenges during my college years in the 90’s which was rough, but Nep in Pisces opposite my Moon has been next level debilitating and rough. Also, it’s been hard to deal with the rise of social media and the over sharing that has come with it. I never joined Facebook. I’m looking forward to the shift in Aries personally. And a part of me does want the US to form separate confederations but I don’t know how that can work given that there are red and purple counties within blue states. I’ve traveled extensively to the South and in many ways they won the Civil War. The lasting impact of the brutality of slavery obviously remains. Maybe us separating is for the best —energetically. If not, we need a robust truth and reconciliation period.
Sorry to hear about your Neptune-opp-Moon experience. I’ll be catching this myself in 4 years from now.
Trump is not in cognitive decline. He’s just a batsh*t crazy fascist. He knows exactly what he’s doing. He will next take control of all media. Looks like his Jupiter-Uranus luck never runs out.
Marjorie, the astrology of two ‘Teds’ in the news might make for interesting (separate) pieces:
John Thune (b. January 7, 1961) was elected Senate Majority Leader. Rick Scott was the MAGA choice. Thune denied Trump’s stolen election claims in 2020. Hope this vote can put to rest my friends’ fears that Trump will rule like a Nazi.
@JAS
Thune is only one person
The SCOTUS has given Trump immunity and what challenges occur it will only be after Trump has committed some crime.
Thune has the power to move Senate members against Trump’s worst decisions and power grabs. Let’s hope he can sway members away from allowing Matt Gaetz to be Attorney General. My delight in hearing of Thune’s win was thwarted once I heard Gaetz is nominated for AG. But Gaetz will have much opposition, even with Republicans.
Trump is going to bypass the Senate so Thune and anyone who opposes Trump’s nominees will be irrelevant.
Also Trump has announced he’ll bypass security clearances, another concern when you look at the nomination of sex trafficker/pervert Gaetz (which signals Trump’s intent to persue full-on his plans for revenge and retribution against his opponents) and the exceptionally unqualified Russian asset Tulsi Gabbard, with no intelligence experience as Director of National Intelligence.
I understand that Thune has agreed to Trump’s plan to avoid Senate confirmation and accepted Trump’s demands to allow unconfirmed recess appointments.
My worst fears confirmed.
@Nicole Sours Larson, Republicans are Republicaning, but I actually think they will challenge Gabbard nomination. Gaetz, they ultimately have a hold of.
What I find interesting is that people still seem to think DJT has this fight in him. I will say he hasn’t, based on what I saw yesterday when he visited WH. He seemed to have all the air sucked out of him.
Another thing I’ve noticed in the news: Unlike 2016 when we got early reports from Trump World on him being on phone almost 24/7 hustling, nothing of the kind seems to be happening this time around. He is having his scheduled calls with World leaders.
Therefore, my reading on Republican leadership’s behavior is that they are buying time. They must know, or at least sense, DJT is declining and will sit nomination rounds out.
Thune won because Mitch McConnel whipped the vote for him. That means Thune has a lot of old school Republican friends – enough to win the Senate Majority Leader position in the Trump era.
Constitutionally, Congress is more powerful than the President. They control money, the ability to make war and the ability to make treaties. It’s just that since the Johnson era, they’ve deferred to the President. That can change.
He was one of the Republican senators (only Republicans attended) who visited Russia on the 4th of July, so perhaps he’s Putin’s choice.
“I would pin point tr Pluto opposition the US North Node in Leo in 2027/28 as being the critical turning point. 9/11 happened when tr Neptune was exactly opposition the US leadership Leo North Node which dented US pride – and this may be the point where the future trajectory is decided.” (Post on Trump, 6 November).
It may be premature to surmise, but looking into the 2030s are there any indications as to whether the US will “reunify” or Balkanise into separate countries? I’m asking out of interest in the astrology first and foremost, following on from some views where the UK could find itself in 2036 (Royal Commerce, 5 November).
@JB
After this election I believe thar this country will Balkanize
Given that along with the Supreme Court continuing to weaken the ability of the federal government to regulate the environment and Trump posed to defund agencies like the EPA and Department of Education more responsibly will be left up to states to create their own rules and regulations.
May be worth noting that the Pluto return of the signing of the Constitution (14 Aquarius) appears to be in Spring 2032.
Republicans almost control enough state legislatures to call a Constitutional Convention so maybe that is how the Pluto return of the Constitution will manifest.
@Roderick, honestly, won’t see this happening, if not for other, then economic reasons. Most Red States are heavily dependant on Federal funding.
@Roderick
Calling a Constitutional Convention appears to be fashionable in quite a number of countries, it is one of the most effective ways to change the route for a country to follow, mostly for the worst.
It is a favoured ploy used by dictators or worse one party directives to gain control of a country by eliminating the possible checks and balances offered by an active opposition. A sinister way to undermine democracy, however there is no doubt that sometimes it is necessary to amend and update the Constitution.
@ Solaia
The people in red states are self-deluded mainly by religion and have no concept of facts or science or reality.
It’s all about belief and fairy tales.
I grew up in Mississippi and now I live in Alabama.
Both states’ budgets are almost 50% funded by federal money but these people are still squawk about state’s rights.
Northern Alabama is booming mainly due to Redstone Arsenal and now Trump wants to move the Space Force from Colorado Springs to Huntsville, but these rednecks still hate the federal government.
The cognitive dissonance is nuts.
Apropos of nothing, which planet would best embody the concept of buyer’s remorse? Saturn? Neptune? Or both of them, sat together on a bench?
Or would it be Pluto, with one last withering glance through the train window as he leaves the station?
@JB, I’d say Saturn and Neptune. Neptune will first enter Aries April 18th next year. There will be two retrogrades to Pisces, but these will clear before midterms 2026.
I can’t, also, stress enough how vital Neptune entering Pisces was in the rise of the populist right in Europe. Here in Finland, then True Finns (they later changed the English name to simply Finns) gained went from 5 to 39 seats out of 200 just days after the first Neptune in Pisces entrance.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the Neptune in Aries brought an entirely different kind of energy.
Manchester United have yet another manager – Reuben Amorim 27 Jan 1985, Lisbon Portugal (no time). I’d be interested in his prospects.
Please explain Stephen miller
Could you take a look at Gary Lineker as he moves on from the BBC? He’s seemed to clash with them as he’s voiced his opinions in the last few years.
Lineker is quite an interesting person, much more savvy than people might think. He co-founded Goalhanger Productions which is the UKs largest podcasting company, and produces the UK’s No.1 Podcast ‘The Rest is History’, amongst others. Its been wildly successful. Its not like he needs MOTD anymore.
I would also be interested in whats happening in his astrology for him to have been so successful in so many different fields – Football, Broadcasting, Production, Crisps (joke!). When on the face of it he seems like a simple, yet affable & ordinary bloke.
The same managers/marketing people who ‘developed’ David Beckham started with Lineker. Apparently they had been looking for a very specific type of footballer with the personality, appearance and I suppose malleability to develop into a brand. At the time, we kept hearing about Lineker’s first wife Michelle Cockayne which was unusual then, but obviously the domestic element was required to round him out as a ‘nice guy’. Beckham turned out to be their golden goose, which they recognised the moment they saw him.

Ted Turner, the colorful billionaire entrepreneur, is featured in a new docuseries streaming this week – https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/12/entertainment/ted-turner-docuseries-call-me-ted/index.html

Good Chatham House article on this very thing here. Ideologically, some matters that are of prime importance to some-open borders, abortion, gender identity, restorative justice-are not paramount to others and can only lead to divorce.https://www.chathamhouse.org/2024/02/could-united-states-be-headed-national-divorce
