  1. Read an interesting article today by Molly Jong-Fast writing about the relationship with her mother, Erica Jong. A child who felt both neglected and abandoned by both biological parents, overshadowed by her mother’s fame – she wrote the book ‘Fear of Flying’ (which my own mother owned – a bestseller in its day) – on one occasion EJ left her child in the charge of her nanny for a whole year.

    Erica jong: 26/3/1942 Manhattan

    Molly Jong-Fast: 19/8/1978

  2. Meghan Markle’s Pluto square Cancer Ascendant could suggest a strong need to control and manipulate her image. She retreats for lengthy periods, usually when she feels under attack or that things aren’t going her way, which is also feels quite Plutonic.
    Her Moon in Libra really does seem to see-saw in an exaggerated manner – perhaps because it is sandwiched with Jupiter and Saturn. Her judgement seems off. Libra can oscillate wildly but it does appear to be cranked up here. Mean Lilith is conjunct Uranus in Scorpio in the fifth house.
    I feel a bit sorry for her daughter – who has Mars Pluto, Moon Chiron aspects. Of course there are many people who share similar videos on social media but it is not on a worldwide scale to be consumed by everyone reading the tabloids and so on.

  3. So, Saturn-Neptune conjunctions.

    The one in Nov 1989 took place near 10 Capricorn. Arguably within orb of West Germany’s 1949 ascendant at 5 Capricorn. Berlin’s chart for 28th Oct 1237 at 12:01 p.m. has it’s ascendant at 9 Cap 23. A symbol of East German authority, the Berlin wall (Saturn), came down/dissolved (Neptune).

    The current Saturn-Neptune conjunction is taking place close to Israel’s descendant at 3 Aries.

    Denmark looks like it is in trouble too. The first king of Denmark was Gorm the old who came to the throne on 20th March 936. The Sun was at 0 Aries, and the Saturn-Neptune conj will be exactly on top of it.

  4. Morten Harkett of A-ha revealed that he has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s. I recall you look at charts previously, does his show any similarities?

  5. Pam Bondi, born November 17, 1965, Tampa, Florida, United States.

    Anyone happen to have come across Pam Bondi’s birth time in your astrological meanderings?

    Legal experts have filed a complaint against her for serious misconduct. Approximately 70 law professors, attorneys and justices filed an ethics complaint against the Attorney General with the Florida Bar during the latter part of last week. The complaint alleges that she has weaponised the Department of Justice by threatening lawyers with discipline or termination if they fail to purse Trump’s objectives.

    Looking forward to seeing where this one goes.

  6. Robert Kiyosaki, who is, as he himself say, about $1.5B in debt, is predicting the biggest crash of the US ever. Apparently, he was right before.

  7. Just as the golden beams of Jupiter are departing Gemini (Trump), they will shortly glide across to Cancer (Musk).
    Powered by the April Aries Solar eclipse in Musk’s Solar 10th house, my money is on Musk in this bun fight, turned ugly.

  8. If Musk dishes out enough dirt on Trump, there could be a new President as Trump gets Liz Truss’d.

    If Congressional Republicans can’t stomach Vance, they have to get rid of him FIRST before going after Trump, leaving the path open for Speaker Mike Johnson to become President.

    Can you look at the charts of JD Vance and Mike Johnson?

    • JD Vance has his IC at 22 Scorpio 02, conjunct Mars at 22 Scorpio 32 and his Ascendant at 27 Leo 46.

      Tr Mars is at 23 Leo 44, making a square to Vance’s MC, IC and natal Mars. Tr Uranus is at 28 Taurus 23, squaring Vance’s ascendant.

      So strife and upheaval, but it doesn’t seem like he gets the Presidency because Mars squaring the MC doesn’t seem auspicious.

    • @Candy, if there really is an election fraud here, they are all in it and complicit. It could turn into an Italy 1992 kind of a situation. Could be helpful to look at those charts, too.

    • A pithy comment on Substack about this ahem incident “Today is a huge win for every woman concerned she acted like a psycho during her last breakup”

  9. Whilst Musk and Trump slap it out, Reform are in chaos again in UK with Chairman and co director Zia Yusuf resigning seemingly triggered by new MP Sarah Pochin’s HoC question yesterday 4/6. What now for Reform, Farage Tice Anderson et al ? ( including exiles Ben Habib and Rupert Lowe )

  10. Hi Majorie

    Musk and Trump are duking it out in real time, getting really ugly on Twitter & Social. If you have a minute is it a lunation setting this on fire or is it the square to the nodes (DJT Sun) … yikes !

    • Musk has a bunch of transits from Jupiter/Saturn/Uranus/Neptune …

      In a recent post, Marjorie wrote “Elon Musk who appears to have a free hand to run riot through government departments will feel the full weight of tr Uranus moving into Gemini in July 2025 as it collides with his can-be-neurotic Saturn opposition Neptune. Even before then tr Uranus will oppose his Jupiter in May, probably bringing a surge of over-confidence as it lights up his natal Jupiter Neptune conjunction – only to bring him crashing down as tr Uranus is opposition his Neptune in July and conjunct his Saturn in August (and so on into 2026). It won’t do much for his mental balance. By 2026 tr Neptune Saturn are square his Cancer Sun for losses and disappointment.”

      DJT has transit Uranus heading for a square with his 29Leo Asc/Desc at the end of the month. This might attack from Elon may well have come as a shock to him.

      They are fighting like children in a playground.

      • Uranus transits … makes sense, the uncontrolled bubbling over of resentments … the suddenness has a uranian quality and yes shocks to both their systems …

      • GD – yes, “fighting like children in a playground” is an excellent description for this so-called clash of the Titans! The bromance break-up is either a brief eruption, or keeps bubbling at least until the full Moon at 20 Sagittarius? That’s just one degree off DJT’s natal Moon, three days before his birthday on 14 June. It’s also right on the Moon’s Sagittarian South Node (karma, the past?) in his natal, waxing Moon opposing 17 Gemini Uranus as it moves towards the exact Full Moon degree. With Elon Musk being a Cancer Sun male, I suspect he’ll hang on in there and won’t give in easily.

        • I am also watching this lunation : full moon 20 sag squaring the nodes & the much hyped military birthday parade mess … phew …

      • “DJT has transit Uranus heading for a square with his 29Leo Asc/Desc at the end of the month. This might attack from Elon may well have come as a shock to him.” – GD, yes and also tr Mars in Leo, 28 degrees, square Uranus 28 Taurus over his birthday weekend.

    • @Daraja, the “fun” thing is that some of the “Trump Truths” are obviously written by Stephen Miller. The best (and the funniest) outcome of this would be Trump falling put with Miller, who is a remarkably and truly a horrible person

  11. Marjorie,

    Would you take a look at:

    1. Sadhguru, who seems to be having problems. (I’ve always been so undecided about him – some of the stuff I was listening to years ago was so refreshing, clear, and evident, and I really loved it, but I was having my doubts regarding the way he operated: parts of it seemed like a business.)

    2. Opus Dei, who were given an ultimatum by the Pope yesterday or something like that. Maybe the founder as well.

  12. Hi Majorie,

    any thought on the collapse of the Dutch Coalition-Government, I am aware that you have several articles on Geert Wilder. I am curious about a country which was considered very liberal in the 1990ies and it’s sharp turn to the right after the co called ‘Failure of Multiculturalism’.

  13. It is interesting how the Internet random conversation has changed after Saturn goes into Aries. The topics are no longer “my parents are toxic and I shall move out and cut ties but can my parents chase me out of their house and my inheritance when they are gone” . Sigh, both topics just don’t sound too nice to me.

  14. Apparently, Ukrainian drones have hit several Russian airbases destroying allegedly 40 aircrafts. There is footage from Olenya airbase in Kola Penisula, almost 2000 km of Kyiv with Tupolev-95 long range bombers burning.

    The attacks would have started around 14:00 Kyiv time, and seem well coordinated. Interesting to have have more details.

    • According to Kyiv sources, they have planned this for 18 months. The drones were hidden inside the roofs of mobile cabins, and remotely released while transported by drivers unaware of the cargo carried. There’s footage of a driver who has pulled off the road is swearing heavily having figured what’s happening.

      Incredibly humiliating to FSB, we might see another season of defenestrations soon.

  15. Wow, June and July are going to get some longish periods of VOC Moon. I think Tara here might have written about it a few months ago. In Air and Fire signs.

      • The Void of Course Moon is a period when the Moon has completed its last major aspect with another planet before changing signs, often seen as a time for rest and reflection. During this phase, it’s generally advised to avoid making important decisions or starting new projects.

        • I always remember a story, and maybe I recall badly, told by an American astrologer Linda on a message board about a restaurant that opened on a VOC Moon – for a while it did so well, it was full of people, but ultimately it closed down.

  16. A q for Canadians. King Charles’s speech to Parliament started with ‘ I would like to acknowledge that we are gathered on the unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishinaabeg people. ’. Is this how all addresses start? Had never heard this?

    • hello AC.
      This beginning acknowledgement is very common now…. from small town hall meetings to workshops to government addresses. As we continue to make efforts to heal the multi-generational trauma experienced by the Indigenous Peoples here, this has emerged as an important step.
      There are still MANY treaties that were signed by England with various tribes across Canada that have not been attended to. Hence the “unceded”….. much development has happened on land that has not been given or sold by the Indigenous people.

      Our national anthem’s first lines are,
      “Oh Canada… our home and native land…..”
      Would be better to sing,
      “Oh Canada.. .our home on native land….”
      and we often do.

      at least… this is my understanding so far.
      As with anything.. it can be said and then left at that, with no further progress.
      However… it’s a beginning!

  17. Completely unreported in the western media for obvious reasons, a new commercial rail route connecting China to Iran has officially launched with the arrival of the first cargo train from the eastern Chinese city of Xian at the Aprin dry port near Tehran. Oil can be delivered in 15 days not 40 as per usual by ship.This flies in the face of all sanctions on oil exports and enables the entire closure of the straits of Hormuz to the detriment of everyone but China and countries on the train route.What is the astrology for this alliance bearing in mind that the countries along this route are coming online as we speak.

    • This is fascinating because some time ago I read of this project with the UAE as the hub for ongoing trains to Europe, which of course had huge implications for Arab states’ attitudes to Israel, Palestine etc and now with Iran’s full support of Hamas and other Palestine terrorist groups it’s especially relevant. The astrological lowdown, if possible for such a complicated enterprise, would be great.

  18. Hi Marjorie, wondering if it as at all (im) possible to look at the astrology of plastic ? Interesting piece on Radio 4 this week about plastics (on a commercial scale), it’s environmental impact and the anthropocene, Dupont and how intimately tied into the rise of consumerism.

  19. This really isn’t he place to complain as Marjorie asks for astrology only. That vein said, I’m sorry that happened to you. FB is a cesspool but not just from one side, I’ve seen it on both. I would never post about politics there, in fact I don’t post at all, just read. And I don’t join political accounts at all. Lesson learned from previous experience.

  20. I made the mistake of leaving my thoughts about Trump and Musk, under my local news FB page post.
    I did so, because my local news FB page has been trying their best to allow room to encourage
    both negative and positive things about politics in general. This they do in spite of the horrible
    backlash they receive from the local public watchers and readers. I for one have been so
    grateful that they are willing to speak out truthfully now, when it causes such an uproar.
    In my case, like the news, I only directed my post to Trump and Musk. I did not say
    a thing about their supporters.

    So, I see replies, and they are getting bad but not unexpected for around here where I live.
    Then someone apparently went to my personal page and copied a cherished family photo
    that I personally took. They posted it to the replies, adding something to the effect that
    I was ugly. I almost replied to say thanks, that I love that picture dearly and I am beautiful.
    But I decided to just delete my original comment about my feelings about Trump and Musk,
    which deleted the insulting invasion of my privacy. I forget about how bad misogyny is.
    I changed all the settings on my FB to private. I thought about a time recently where
    I too said something terrible about a Trump supporter in particular. I figured the
    universe was nudging me to wise up about the internet. I was scared, because
    in the picture with me, that the misogynist FB stalker posted in the replies,
    to make fun of me, was a federal employee. I saw the angry post that I
    made about the president and Musk, above it.

    As an American who is
    about to retire, I never imagined that I would fear retaliation by a presidential
    administration, in regard to public speech. Strange, scary times indeed.
    I deleted the whole thing for the same reason I posted it in the first place.
    Fear. Fear of who occupies the White House in Washington D.C., the place
    where my older sister was born.
