From a post by Marjorie on 7 December 2019.
“2025 will be the year of the decade and not necessarily for positive reasons…
…The September 2025 Solar Eclipse indicates clearly the forces in play – a Uranus in Gemini trine Pluto in Aquarius trine New Moon which is opposition Saturn Neptune.”
I’m glad I kept the receipt for Mr Barbault’s beautiful bread basket in 2026. Hoping I won’t need a refund.
Marjorie, you said ‘Trump’s personal chart looks a touch downbeat over this week with tr Saturn square the Mercury/Uranus midpoint; and pushing against headwinds until early December with tr Pluto opposition his Saturn/Pluto midpoint. In part one assumes due to Charlie Kirk being shot.’ on 15th Sept.
Then it was reported on 16th Sept that Trump sues NYT for $15bn. However come to find out that it’s as an individual and not as President and in that case will have to waive his right to immunity because that only covers him as President. This might be his comeuppance, because during ‘discovery’ NYT can ask for all manner of things which he has to provide as an individual (civilian). Hope I’ve got the gist of that right.
I wonder why he is downbeat when his ego growing even bigger as he has now gotten what he wanted with the indefinite suspension of the Jimmy Kimmel show yesterday. He/they are ‘heroing’ up Charlie Kirk, who I think they are using as PR given his over 7 million followers. Apparently it was reported that when asked about said CK he practically dismissed the question to continue to acclaim the new White House Ballroom.
Wondering if you could take a look at Trump/NY Times please? I don’t have a time for the 16 Sept when reported.
Anyone else know?
Thanks
The lawsuit is just another distraction from Epstien just like Charlie Kirk’s death.
A history chart question. Christopher Marlowe or Sir Francis Bacon were once thought to have written. Shakespeare ‘s plays. As there was extensive knowledge of Astrology, Philosophy and Mathematics. I read that there was over 200 allusions to astrological predictions in Shakespeare’s plays which all were fulfilled. Perhaps it would be interesting to compare their charts?
Also, Edward de Vere could have been the Bard. He was highly educated and well traveled. I believe de Vere was Shakespeare. Derek Jacobi was part of an excellent documentary about him. Shakespeare himself only owned one book, the Bible and his children were illiterate which is strange. Also, he never visited Italy which was a popular setting for Shakes.
Very interesting. Thank you! The more you understand the breath of knowledge at court in those times and who lived near Shakespeare in London. . It makes you wonder ? He was not knighted by Elizabeth 1. Although he did receive a Coat of Arms from King James 1. Decades ago I can remember reading a book about Sir Francis Bacon being the real author behind some of his work.
Some breaking news in the NYT, Marjorie. Charismatic Leo, Robert Redford has died aged 89.
O man.
Genuine legend .
Heaven will be glad for him.
Marjorie, could Donald Trump be the most litigious president in US history? He has now set his sights on the New York Times with a reported defamation lawsuit of $15bn. Maybe his 10th or 2nd house is currently being rattled as you would say.
Another Charlie .. Charlie Sheen has a new doc out on Netflx. Getting famous easly then had so many years of addication and destructive behavior . From his story , he turned his life around to be there with his kids. Now sober for seven years.
Hi Marjorie,
Please would you look at Alexander Stubb? Finland is lucky to have him.
I was trying to work out Starmer’s time of birth. I think it’s 22:45 on 2nd Sept 1962.
That would give an ascendant of 9 Gem 46, Moon at 21 Libra 4, Midheaven at 5 Aquarius 21 conjunct Saturn at 5 Aquarius 49. I think his grim public persona is due to Saturn on the MC.
When he became PM on 5th Jul 2024, tr Jupiter was at 9 Gem 10, conjunct his ascendant. Tr Pluto was at 1 Aq 16, approaching conj of his MC and Saturn – so taking power and responsibility.
When the Southport riots happened on 30 Jul 2024 to 5th Aug 2024, tr Mars moved from 6 Gem 57 to 10 Gem 19. So it crossed his ascendant.
His current problems are likely because tr Mars is currently sitting on his Moon, with tr Chiron opposite. Tr Mars crosses his descendant into his 7th house of enemies in mid Nov. Tr Mars will conjunct tr Pluto on his midheaven at the end of Jan 2026.
But wouldn’t a Gem Ascendent project strong and engaging communication skills and a flexible and curious approach to life? This description doesn’t really fit the PM.
Hi Marjorie, could you have a look at Tommy Robinson’s chart over the next few years if possible. Thanks
I was just going to ask the same question.
These rallies are scary …
They really are. Tommy has already been exposed by Double Down News journalists as having connections to Israel. And Israel’s Likud party, Netanyahu’s political faction, has been involved with, supported, or aligned itself with far-right movements and parties in Europe, especially in the last decade. I need this cancer nipped in the bud yesterday.
He’s boasting online about having ‘Mossad’ sponsorship for today’s rally.
I believe the implications of this uprising go further & wider than we can imagine.
I just checked and Marjorie did a reading on this creature back in 2018 and she didn’t think he’d amount to much going forward:
But could he be a vessel to bring something darker in, Marjorie?
I can’t help but think people are being covertly manoeuvred into accepting a fascist government at some point if we don’t wake up. That whole ‘Let’s create a mass problem and we’ll give them the solution,’ scenario.
Looking at the astrology, from late 2027 through 2028, the UK could face a perfect storm of financial crisis, social unrest, and institutional breakdown, as a series of intense astro aspects hit the national chart. The aspect that worries me is the Pluto-Saturn square at 8° Aquarius-Taurus (exact on 28 June 2028) which could bring a clash between authoritarian control and unstoppable systemic change. This tension could manifest as government crackdowns, mass protests, or radical resistance movements as old institutions strain under the weight of public disillusionment. It’s looking rough for a bit, I think.
However, astrologer Andre Barbeau, who focused on long-term planetary cycles, especially Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto, predicted some big hits like the Berlin wall falling, the soviet union collapse, and 2020 being ‘the worst planetary tension since WWII,’ which gave us the covid pandemic, lockdowns and the surge in digital control, saw better things for the world from 2026. In his model, he saw:
– 2001–2020 as a steep global decline (terrorism, war, authoritarianism, collapse)
– 2021–2025 as transitional chaos
– 2026–2032 as the ascending curve of human development
So, maybe from 2026, we will see some lifeboats in all this coming chaos. What say you, Marjorie?
It is worth doing a search on Tommy Robinson in Marjorie’s previous charts; most instructive.
Love a good Wikipedia’s rabbit hole. To help us get through these illogical times where up is down and down is up I find looking at it from a growth lens valuable- rather than say just throw up our hands- what is this sycophant situation here to teach us? Bc this too shall pass and what we make of tomorrow must be informed by what we are meant to learn from the trouble we’re in today. And it isn’t about well we need gun reform as much as it must be about how we see each other and how we find a way to understand deeply that we’re all connected which would then be about choosing gun reform bc my desire to have a gun can’t be more important than your children being gunned down going to school. As an elementary teacher, Charlie Kirk getting half mast when minutes later yet another school shooting and 2 weeks ago one in mpls where I live… it makes you pause and reflect – not to judge, but to try and understand. What all these charts on famous lives show again and again are often the sad endings of unexamined lives…
Would love to see Wikipedia’s horoscope, seeing that they are the new target of the Alt-Right police, apparently for not reflecting their talking points.
Rectified Charts – I was wondering if Marjorie has done any work on anyone of notoriety, with rectifying their time and could post a comment on this subject. Or indeed show us one
Rectification is always guesswork and I tend to avoid it I am afraid
I know people specialize in just rectification and that they will ask the client about important milestones in life (good and bad) in an attempt to work backwards into the chart. A daunting task.
This seems like the ugliest time. I’m trying to remember when it was worse, but can only turn to history even though I’m over sixty. I remember seeing the play Hair when it first came out and I was still a kid – this isn’t the Age of Aquarius they sang of or that I expected. Everyone I know in the US is dejected, depressed, angry and upset about the direction our country has taken since Trump returned. I know things change, but when? Will it get better or worse?
Sometimes I think Trump is the new Mad King George, III and ICE agents are the British Red Coats (who threw people out of their own homes to occupy them) Will there be a revolution in 2026 that in any way mirrors 1776? Will America be America again (the one it has yet to be?)
I miss all the hope of the Obama years (even though the GOP thwarted him in many ways – he did so much and brought so much dignity to the country.
On some days, I go down a Wikipedia rabbit-hole, some times by accident.
Yesterday, I googled “Sic transit gloria Mandy” posted by somebody on Twitter and was of course directed to the Wikipedia article on “Sic transit gloria *mundi*” (thus pass the glories of the world), which in turn led to the interesting story behind the phrase “This too shall pass”.
That is a phrase that is meant to be always true, in both adversity and in prosperity. Nothing will ever last, neither glory nor infamy.
What is past is past and soon, so will the troubled present be past. All we can hope for and shape is the future.
There are certainly parallels. Trump is the mad king, ICE serves as his troops, and MAGA are the red hats as opposed to the red coats.
But Pluto is going through Aquarius, promising transformation.
The mad king was ultimately defeated in 1781, and the red coats either went home or migrated to Canada.
Now, I don’t expect MAGA to move to Canada (they wouldn’t be welcomed). But I think that this period is similar to the war of independence. And we know which side won, don’t we?
The Republicans overreached in California and are no longer in power. The same will happen here. The economy is getting worse. I suspect the 2026 midterms will be a turning point, like Washington crossing the Delaware in 1776 and winning a major victory. After that winter of hardship, he emerged with an army capable of going toe to toe with the British.
I suspect we will also emerge victorious. We won’t give up. And Republicans are starting to question whether all of this strife is worth it, now that they are also the victims of violence (much like they made Democrats suffer through since 2014 since they targeted them over Obamacare and have been violent ever since).
Should Democrats wrestle control of one of the houses of Congress, they will do everything possible to stop Trump. I suspect the stress of that will cause Trump to go crazy (aka-threaten to nuke California) or something else will happen that will force him out.
Is it like 1776? Yes. But we are lucky. We know which side will ultimately win.
I miss Obama
Too much information out there. I turn everything off for a least a couple of hours a day, if not more. Just read what I want to read, without anyone telling me what they think. It is my head, stars or thoughts, not anyone else’s – the only real influencers in my life!
Live from the Primetime Web Channels: Erika Kirk promising unleashed wrath to those who oppose her assassinated husband.
And the plot sickens….
I’m reading Elizabeth Gilbert’s latest, All The Way To The River, and am very curious about her natal chart. Her blockbuster work, Eat Pray Love was published about 19 years ago and is still selling brilliantly. This new work is very different but engrossing all the same. Are there aspects in her chart that point to her great ability to draw in audiences with her work? Or aspects that indicate extreme fame? I recall seeing a mention that she had Pluto near conjunct her moon and many people, including her have said that she’s emotionally extravagant, are there aspects that point to this trait?
I look forward to reading it Anne. Two of her others, City of Girls and The Signature of all Things showed the depth of research she does for her novels, it’s far from formulaic, with both books very different from each other and radically different from Eat, Pray, Love. I am always fascinated by anyone who can keep reigniting a creative spark rather than churning out similar books. I see she has a Jupiter /Uranus conjunction at 0 Libra which might point to that.
I’m sure you’ll really love it, Louisa! I agree about how radically different both City of Girls and Signature of All Things from not only each other but Eat, Pray, Love. She is such an amazing talent!
On a side note, I just thought of this before I posted,
I am very familiar with Utah, I have personally been to the town where Charlie Kirk was killed.
First thing I thought of that surprised me, is that it is a rather small town. Not a large metro area at all.
I lived nearby in south east Idaho. Idaho is where many Mormon families lived, outside of Utah. In Utah and SE Idaho,
Mormonism is quietly the dominant societal religion. I say quiet, because it is just that, quiet. Either next door, or across the street from most public middle or high schools, you will find a building that is owned/operated by the Mormon church. These buildings are where the teenage students are to go on either specific days, or times of the day, in relation to the public school. This is because Mormon social rules encourage church members stay in close social contact with one another outside of church. Utah and Idaho are full of remote or small rural communities, so it is fairly east to do.
What saddens me most is that the accused shooters parents may be told, or treated like this act that their oldest child
is accused of doing, which is said that the father himself turned Tyler Robinson in to law enforcement, I fear that the very well meaning Mormon church may place unfair blame upon the parents. This is because Mormon faith teaches that good works must be done on earth, in order to reach a spiritual level in the afterlife. That is why Mormon faithful are mostly very good, hardworking, kind people who are very charitable and socially open. Mormons believe that they are judged by how well they served, sacrificed and helped others in this lifetime. They mean well, and religion is always open to interpretation. It’s just that sadly, some church leaders can be covertly cruel with unfairly placed blame. Active church attending Mormons submit to their particular community church stake leadership. They voluntarily submit their financial information, in order for their personal church bishop to determine how much is required by the information, to tithe. They are required to meet personally with the Bishop, in private, where they are questioned about intensely personal matters, mostly to determine if they meet the social and financial requirements to visit a temple. Temples are considered the Heavenly Father’s home on earth, to be granted permission to visit a temple is to determine if one lives a worthy lifestyle.
This is because the temple is considered by Mormon faithful to be a heavenly, and not earthly, building. They must purchase specific clothing to wear to this pre arranged visit. The way it was described to me was that they believe if you walk into a Mormon temple and you have not abided by Mormon religious code, then your footsteps would be seen by the Heavenly Father as dirty or muddy. Temples are mainly white, they are meant to evoke clouds and an environment where angels and not people, reside.
That being said, I did appreciate my Mormon friends and neighbors. They were some of the kindest people I ever met or knew. Sometimes when I learned of various punishments given to the faithful by the church elders, I was sad because it can be so socially punishing or isolating. This whole scenario is very unusual, in my opinion. I do pray for their family during this horrific life altering ordeal. Bad things do happen to good people, unfortunately.
My boyfriend is very politically conservative, I am very liberal. My boyfriend was raised by extremely conservative Christian parents who were very dedicated to serving their own church. I was very surprised today when I spoke to my boyfriend about Charlie Kirk, for the first time. We had never spoke about him before, and I did not know much about Charlie Kirk, except that I did not approve of his public statements. I have since seen some of the outlandish statements he is quoted as saying, and I was truly horrified. I realized, speaking to my very conservative minded boyfriend, that he like Charlie Kirk and saw him as a diplomatic debater of biblical principles. I always get flustered and upset when I hear marginalized groups of people get insulted or degraded. I lose all respect for the person doing the degrading. My boyfriend does not see it like that. That’s what I get for loving a man with an Aquarius ascendant, and Uranus/Sun/Moon in Cancer!!
Tyler Robinson, the accused shooter of Charlie Kirk, I found a picture this morning from his mother’s social media, giving Tyler Robinson the birthdate 16 April 2003. I assume he was born in Cedar Creek or Falls, Utah, no birth time mentioned. Sun and Moon appear to be in opposition, as are Saturn and Pluto, also Jupiter and Neptune. Noon chart shows Chiron exact on Descendant in Capricorn. Venus in Pisces square Saturn and Pluto.
His mother’s FB is public, dad’s is somewhat private, obviously because he is in law enforcement. Mother seems like a very nice person. Marriage seems solid despite the Sun Moon opposition in Tyler’s chart. Tyler had younger brothers and almost all of the photos in mom’s FB show them all having a great time as a happy family, they appear to have gone on many fun vacations together. Nothing struck me as fake or insincere. There were no overt opinions expressed that I could see, either. The only odd thing that I noticed was a reel that the mother posted of Tyler Robinson celebrating receiving the news that he received a generous college scholarship. From what I read, Tyler only attended for one year. I saw nothing that indicated the parents favored any of their children over another, they all appeared to me to be equally loved and included. They all appear to be a very close family, the photos are mostly casual and carefree. It appears to me, in my opinion, that they were exceptional parents who were financially comfortable and they appear to encourage their growing children to explore traditional American activities such as hunting, fishing and camping. Very puzzling situation. The father appears in pictures to be kind and loving with no obvious sign of any negative masculine traits or insecurities.
I could post the mother’s name in case you wanted to see for yourself, but she is an innocent person going thru an unimaginably painful ordeal, so I will refrain from doing that here, now.
Re the Sun-Moon in opposition that you mentioned, keep in mind that a Sun-Moon opposition gives us a full moon.
In Vedic astrology, birth on a full moon (so a Sun-Moon opposition or close to it) gives one philosophical gifts. In India, almost all the major gods/religious figures (Buddha, Guru Nanak of Sikhism) have their birthdays attributed to a full moon. So it isn’t all that bad.
My brother and niece (his daughter) were born precisely on a full moon (so a proper Sun-moon opposition) and I am very closely so (but not within an orb of each other). Our parents even have natal Suns in opposition to each other. But they are both still in love with each other and support each other.
So I would not read a Sun-Moon opposition in wholly negative terms. It can, like all astrological combinations, have a positive interpretation to it as well.
Retrograde planets. How do they influence a natal chart? I knew there were a couple in my natal chart, but recently a google chart indicated a list of 7 or 8! Unfortunately I can’t locate the chart again. Oddly in personal readings only one astrologer over the years has mentioned them. I remember that one retrograde matched one of Muhammed Ali! I’d really like to know how practising astrologers interpret them. I’ve always been a bit surprised that I experience a sort of block or blur before I do something, which is odd because once I start I’m off like a rocket. Would that be due to retrogrades?
Zita, Marjorie is best to answer your question as to the range of effects from retrogrades since she sees a lot more charts than most of us (certainly more than me). However, I don’t think the block/blur you report would be attributed to retrogrades per se – there would have to be other things besides Rx’s alone to cause a pattern of hesitation, or expending energy in different ways, or getting motivated differently in changing circumstances.
The thing about Rx’s in general is that they can reverse at some time during the person’s life, specifically the inner planets because they move faster by progression. Depending on the the degrees in the birth chart, any planet Rx at birth can reverse later on, especially if you live long enough. Secondary progressions are pretty slow moving, so the inner planets, like Mercury and Venus, are most often experienced going into or out of retrograde at least once in a lifetime. When progressed planets slow down, go stationary, and then again direct (or the reverse), it often leads to changes in the life – like job changes, relationship changes etc., depending on the planets, houses and so on that are involved. It is highly individual to each person.
Thank you SG and Marjorie. Their effect seems elusive but interesting that they can reverse but then the dreaded Mercury retrogrades come and go regularly.
I have never been sure about retrograde planets since some hugely successful types have them sprinkled round their charts.
The only time I pay much attention is if Progressed Mars goes retrograde or direct which does tend to have a noticeable effect.
I’ve been reading a lot of commentary from Trump, as well as his appointees and media-supporters, regarding the tragic death of Mr. Kirk – and they all seem uniform in their declaration of wanting ‘retribution.’
So, can you please offer an astrological perspective regarding Mr. Trump’s seeming promise to ‘declare war on the left’?
I’ve noticed the tone and rhetoric has changed now it appears the alleged shooter is republican and comes from a Conservative Christian background
The hypocrisy of it all. SmH
Watch out cause they’ll still find a way to blame everyone else, Dems or their mother.
The shooter was not a conservative tho his family was. Tyler Robinson’s bullet casings prove that.
He literally wrote “hey fascist! catch!” and Antifa phrases on bullet casings. It’s possible he was mentally ill but that has not been reported. When you call your political opponent “literally Hitler” or say “he’s a fascist” you get all kinds of violence against him and his supporters.
I would like to ask whether anybody knows who inherits Epstein’s fortune, he has been described as a billionaire.
Oracle Ellison and entertainment media
Charles Kirk . I saw his date not the time of his birth and there is the moment of the shooting. It is also fascinating the ripple effect around the world . I have a niece that was born a day earlier. It is interesting to see the transition influenced.

But Pluto is going through Aquarius, promising transformation.
The mad king was ultimately defeated in 1781, and the red coats either went home or migrated to Canada.
Now, I don’t expect MAGA to move to Canada (they wouldn’t be welcomed). But I think that this period is similar to the war of independence. And we know which side won, don’t we?
The Republicans overreached in California and are no longer in power. The same will happen here. The economy is getting worse. I suspect the 2026 midterms will be a turning point, like Washington crossing the Delaware in 1776 and winning a major victory. After that winter of hardship, he emerged with an army capable of going toe to toe with the British.
I suspect we will also emerge victorious. We won’t give up. And Republicans are starting to question whether all of this strife is worth it, now that they are also the victims of violence (much like they made Democrats suffer through since 2014 since they targeted them over Obamacare and have been violent ever since).
Should Democrats wrestle control of one of the houses of Congress, they will do everything possible to stop Trump. I suspect the stress of that will cause Trump to go crazy (aka-threaten to nuke California) or something else will happen that will force him out.
Is it like 1776? Yes. But we are lucky. We know which side will ultimately win.
I miss Obama
Too much information out there. I turn everything off for a least a couple of hours a day, if not more. Just read what I want to read, without anyone telling me what they think. It is my head, stars or thoughts, not anyone else’s – the only real influencers in my life!
Live from the Primetime Web Channels: Erika Kirk promising unleashed wrath to those who oppose her assassinated husband.
And the plot sickens….
I’m reading Elizabeth Gilbert’s latest, All The Way To The River, and am very curious about her natal chart. Her blockbuster work, Eat Pray Love was published about 19 years ago and is still selling brilliantly. This new work is very different but engrossing all the same. Are there aspects in her chart that point to her great ability to draw in audiences with her work? Or aspects that indicate extreme fame? I recall seeing a mention that she had Pluto near conjunct her moon and many people, including her have said that she’s emotionally extravagant, are there aspects that point to this trait?
I look forward to reading it Anne. Two of her others, City of Girls and The Signature of all Things showed the depth of research she does for her novels, it’s far from formulaic, with both books very different from each other and radically different from Eat, Pray, Love. I am always fascinated by anyone who can keep reigniting a creative spark rather than churning out similar books. I see she has a Jupiter /Uranus conjunction at 0 Libra which might point to that.
I’m sure you’ll really love it, Louisa! I agree about how radically different both City of Girls and Signature of All Things from not only each other but Eat, Pray, Love. She is such an amazing talent!
On a side note, I just thought of this before I posted,
I am very familiar with Utah, I have personally been to the town where Charlie Kirk was killed.
First thing I thought of that surprised me, is that it is a rather small town. Not a large metro area at all.
I lived nearby in south east Idaho. Idaho is where many Mormon families lived, outside of Utah. In Utah and SE Idaho,
Mormonism is quietly the dominant societal religion. I say quiet, because it is just that, quiet. Either next door, or across the street from most public middle or high schools, you will find a building that is owned/operated by the Mormon church. These buildings are where the teenage students are to go on either specific days, or times of the day, in relation to the public school. This is because Mormon social rules encourage church members stay in close social contact with one another outside of church. Utah and Idaho are full of remote or small rural communities, so it is fairly east to do.
What saddens me most is that the accused shooters parents may be told, or treated like this act that their oldest child
is accused of doing, which is said that the father himself turned Tyler Robinson in to law enforcement, I fear that the very well meaning Mormon church may place unfair blame upon the parents. This is because Mormon faith teaches that good works must be done on earth, in order to reach a spiritual level in the afterlife. That is why Mormon faithful are mostly very good, hardworking, kind people who are very charitable and socially open. Mormons believe that they are judged by how well they served, sacrificed and helped others in this lifetime. They mean well, and religion is always open to interpretation. It’s just that sadly, some church leaders can be covertly cruel with unfairly placed blame. Active church attending Mormons submit to their particular community church stake leadership. They voluntarily submit their financial information, in order for their personal church bishop to determine how much is required by the information, to tithe. They are required to meet personally with the Bishop, in private, where they are questioned about intensely personal matters, mostly to determine if they meet the social and financial requirements to visit a temple. Temples are considered the Heavenly Father’s home on earth, to be granted permission to visit a temple is to determine if one lives a worthy lifestyle.
This is because the temple is considered by Mormon faithful to be a heavenly, and not earthly, building. They must purchase specific clothing to wear to this pre arranged visit. The way it was described to me was that they believe if you walk into a Mormon temple and you have not abided by Mormon religious code, then your footsteps would be seen by the Heavenly Father as dirty or muddy. Temples are mainly white, they are meant to evoke clouds and an environment where angels and not people, reside.
That being said, I did appreciate my Mormon friends and neighbors. They were some of the kindest people I ever met or knew. Sometimes when I learned of various punishments given to the faithful by the church elders, I was sad because it can be so socially punishing or isolating. This whole scenario is very unusual, in my opinion. I do pray for their family during this horrific life altering ordeal. Bad things do happen to good people, unfortunately.
My boyfriend is very politically conservative, I am very liberal. My boyfriend was raised by extremely conservative Christian parents who were very dedicated to serving their own church. I was very surprised today when I spoke to my boyfriend about Charlie Kirk, for the first time. We had never spoke about him before, and I did not know much about Charlie Kirk, except that I did not approve of his public statements. I have since seen some of the outlandish statements he is quoted as saying, and I was truly horrified. I realized, speaking to my very conservative minded boyfriend, that he like Charlie Kirk and saw him as a diplomatic debater of biblical principles. I always get flustered and upset when I hear marginalized groups of people get insulted or degraded. I lose all respect for the person doing the degrading. My boyfriend does not see it like that. That’s what I get for loving a man with an Aquarius ascendant, and Uranus/Sun/Moon in Cancer!!
Tyler Robinson, the accused shooter of Charlie Kirk, I found a picture this morning from his mother’s social media, giving Tyler Robinson the birthdate 16 April 2003. I assume he was born in Cedar Creek or Falls, Utah, no birth time mentioned. Sun and Moon appear to be in opposition, as are Saturn and Pluto, also Jupiter and Neptune. Noon chart shows Chiron exact on Descendant in Capricorn. Venus in Pisces square Saturn and Pluto.
His mother’s FB is public, dad’s is somewhat private, obviously because he is in law enforcement. Mother seems like a very nice person. Marriage seems solid despite the Sun Moon opposition in Tyler’s chart. Tyler had younger brothers and almost all of the photos in mom’s FB show them all having a great time as a happy family, they appear to have gone on many fun vacations together. Nothing struck me as fake or insincere. There were no overt opinions expressed that I could see, either. The only odd thing that I noticed was a reel that the mother posted of Tyler Robinson celebrating receiving the news that he received a generous college scholarship. From what I read, Tyler only attended for one year. I saw nothing that indicated the parents favored any of their children over another, they all appeared to me to be equally loved and included. They all appear to be a very close family, the photos are mostly casual and carefree. It appears to me, in my opinion, that they were exceptional parents who were financially comfortable and they appear to encourage their growing children to explore traditional American activities such as hunting, fishing and camping. Very puzzling situation. The father appears in pictures to be kind and loving with no obvious sign of any negative masculine traits or insecurities.
I could post the mother’s name in case you wanted to see for yourself, but she is an innocent person going thru an unimaginably painful ordeal, so I will refrain from doing that here, now.
Re the Sun-Moon in opposition that you mentioned, keep in mind that a Sun-Moon opposition gives us a full moon.
In Vedic astrology, birth on a full moon (so a Sun-Moon opposition or close to it) gives one philosophical gifts. In India, almost all the major gods/religious figures (Buddha, Guru Nanak of Sikhism) have their birthdays attributed to a full moon. So it isn’t all that bad.
My brother and niece (his daughter) were born precisely on a full moon (so a proper Sun-moon opposition) and I am very closely so (but not within an orb of each other). Our parents even have natal Suns in opposition to each other. But they are both still in love with each other and support each other.
So I would not read a Sun-Moon opposition in wholly negative terms. It can, like all astrological combinations, have a positive interpretation to it as well.
Retrograde planets. How do they influence a natal chart? I knew there were a couple in my natal chart, but recently a google chart indicated a list of 7 or 8! Unfortunately I can’t locate the chart again. Oddly in personal readings only one astrologer over the years has mentioned them. I remember that one retrograde matched one of Muhammed Ali! I’d really like to know how practising astrologers interpret them. I’ve always been a bit surprised that I experience a sort of block or blur before I do something, which is odd because once I start I’m off like a rocket. Would that be due to retrogrades?
Zita, Marjorie is best to answer your question as to the range of effects from retrogrades since she sees a lot more charts than most of us (certainly more than me). However, I don’t think the block/blur you report would be attributed to retrogrades per se – there would have to be other things besides Rx’s alone to cause a pattern of hesitation, or expending energy in different ways, or getting motivated differently in changing circumstances.
The thing about Rx’s in general is that they can reverse at some time during the person’s life, specifically the inner planets because they move faster by progression. Depending on the the degrees in the birth chart, any planet Rx at birth can reverse later on, especially if you live long enough. Secondary progressions are pretty slow moving, so the inner planets, like Mercury and Venus, are most often experienced going into or out of retrograde at least once in a lifetime. When progressed planets slow down, go stationary, and then again direct (or the reverse), it often leads to changes in the life – like job changes, relationship changes etc., depending on the planets, houses and so on that are involved. It is highly individual to each person.
Thank you SG and Marjorie. Their effect seems elusive but interesting that they can reverse but then the dreaded Mercury retrogrades come and go regularly.
I have never been sure about retrograde planets since some hugely successful types have them sprinkled round their charts.
The only time I pay much attention is if Progressed Mars goes retrograde or direct which does tend to have a noticeable effect.
I’ve been reading a lot of commentary from Trump, as well as his appointees and media-supporters, regarding the tragic death of Mr. Kirk – and they all seem uniform in their declaration of wanting ‘retribution.’
So, can you please offer an astrological perspective regarding Mr. Trump’s seeming promise to ‘declare war on the left’?
I’ve noticed the tone and rhetoric has changed now it appears the alleged shooter is republican and comes from a Conservative Christian background
The hypocrisy of it all. SmH
Watch out cause they’ll still find a way to blame everyone else, Dems or their mother.
The shooter was not a conservative tho his family was. Tyler Robinson’s bullet casings prove that.
He literally wrote “hey fascist! catch!” and Antifa phrases on bullet casings. It’s possible he was mentally ill but that has not been reported. When you call your political opponent “literally Hitler” or say “he’s a fascist” you get all kinds of violence against him and his supporters.
I would like to ask whether anybody knows who inherits Epstein’s fortune, he has been described as a billionaire.
Oracle Ellison and entertainment media
Charles Kirk . I saw his date not the time of his birth and there is the moment of the shooting. It is also fascinating the ripple effect around the world . I have a niece that was born a day earlier. It is interesting to see the transition influenced.
