‘Trump says strikes on Iran a ‘spectacular military success’ in address’ Iran did respond earlier to say US joining Israel would be a ‘very dangerous move’.
Marjorie I don’t know what time but it was last night . Can you look at the astrology for that action please. I pray that no one else joins in. OMG this is getting scary. Oh dear!
The US official announcement of the strikes on Iranian nuclear sites was 00.50 BST, 22 June – BBC. According to CNN they happened at 3.00AM Local Time in Iran, on I think 21st June – at least in the US. Iran is 2 and a half hours ahead of the UK, so 00.30 here. Very concerning for the whole region, let alone the wider world.
Thanks Jane
The trigger must have been Sun moving into Cancer at 0 degrees square Neptune 2 deg Aries and Saturn too?
Was just reading about the shadow side of Sun square Neptune that has 5 karmic rules. Interesting because some of what is mentioned fits this act and current attitude being displayed hy these parties.
Would it be poss to look at basic synastry maybe a primer of the most accurate/salient indicators of compatibility and incompatibility pls

The Ballad of John and Karen?*
“No one has fought harder for justice for John O’Keefe than I have, and my team.“ K.R. on the courthouse steps post victory. She repeated it again – sans the team part – as she approached a seaport bistro to celebrate that evening.
Is it star ego or born crusader? Typically both?
Wondering:
-J.O. post mortem chart on verdict day, coming trend/legacy
-KR -is she built to bring justice for John or is it more a survival moment (if one can call 3.5 years a moment)
-Outer planet aspect theme, the composite chart, clear destiny/yod signature?
The swings in her circumstance:
-losing her personal assets while accruing major donations
-having to resign as private financial advisor while becoming celebrated crusader
-moving back home w mom and dad after having to sell her home ( plus hotel living, w star council, during trial)
KR attorney Alessi:
“We’ve seen the evidence, we’ve seen it up close, this should not be over by any stretch.”
Has round three just begun? Does John get justice? Do KR’s strengths surpass her weaknesses?

Hello Marjorie, I would be very pleased if you could have a look at the New Moon of 25 June 2025 / Russia ( 862 as well as 1991). Thank you very much.
The magnificent Holly Johnson is in the middle of his ‘Welcome To The Pleasuredome’ 40th Anniversary Tour.
Talented and inspirational – I’d welcome any astro analysis.
Marjorie. Any thoughts on the ongoing fiasco involving HS2. Todays announcement suggests cost overruns continue to spiral even though large parts of the original project such as the links to Leeds and Manchester have been abandoned, postponed or descoped. The delivery date has been pushed back beyond 2033 now. Simin Jenkins in todays Guardian mentioned that the current Labour government is committed to spending £39 billion on HS2 during its current term in office which is twice the amount being spent on social housing.
It is difficult to precisely date the inception of the project but the Royal Assent to the High Speed Rail (London-East Midland) Act was given on 23 February 2017 which basically marked the beginning of on the ground activity. Just looking at the chart for that event suggests that the HS2 Project was going to be the
Apologies about the truncated final sentence which should read “the HS2 project was always going to be the toughest of challenges.
Now, the U.S. chart is another one that is perennially being debated, and everyone has his or her favourite. Probably Sibly is leading the pack.
But there is also the Marr chart, 4 July 1776 at 02:43:40 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
I was looking at it, and natally it has Pluto on the cusp of the 9th house. Very interesting. Now the nodal axis is on natal Saturn and the progressed ascendant (first priority) is on the cusp of the 8th house (debt, other peoples money). Moon (change) is traversing the 11th house (politics). It is not a small house using Placidus.
O. K., for those who might be interested, user ~Tara~ from Astro.com message board used the time 16:06:23 for Israel chart. She went on to list all the hits to angles for various events.
Don’t believe – test.
For Palestine: 15 November 1988 at 00:40 Algier, Algiers.
Debating (with myself mostly), whether there is anything to look at, date wise, in the swamp that is HS2, now further delayed and mired in fraud allegations. The Midlands section of the line is up the road from me and many contractors earning huge sums live close by and seemingly have been here for many years. I’m not nimbyish about the need for infrastructure, but the whole project seems to have been very poorly managed. I note the official approval date of 10 Jan 2012 has Uranus at Aries 1 degree square Mercury, which is currently being sat on by Saturn / Neptune so it seems likely it will remain in a state of chaos while that plays out. There are other dates of bills etc in 2021 but I haven’t looked at them. Not sure if this is a request or errant thoughts!
Marjorie wrote about HS2 on 8th September 2021. There’s an HS2 Inc chart for 14 January 2009 that’s got Jupiter 2 Aquarius. Pluto transit? I’m not happy about HS2 for various reasons, including all the huge trees cut down in front of Euston Station, and the negative effect of works on surrounding community and businesses.
Not sure how this might fit in, but the Railways Act 5 November 1993 might be relevant. This was the privatisation of the train operators, and separation of infrastructure management from them. Wry hilarity – it has traveller Mercury Retrograde, 15 Scorpio conjunct Sun. It also has Mars in Scorpio conjunct Pluto, square Saturn in Aquarius. A wild guess suggests no astrologer was consulted beforehand.
Thanks Jane, I will look back at that. I’m sure there were troubles with the Channel Tunnel but it was 6 years under construction, we are 6 and staring at another 10 to get HS2 done. Bat tunnels aside, it’s a poor show and yes, the destruction is vast.
The High Speed Rail (London-East Midland) Act was given Royal Assent on 23 February 2017. It occurred under a Pluto square Mars/Uranus. The chart also triggers the financially troublesome pair of the UK 1801 2nd House Neptune and the UK 1801 8th House Mars. At the time of today’s announcement Mercury at 18 Cancer was directly opposing the 2017 Pluto at 18 Capricorn. When the 10th anniversary of the 2017 Act occurs in 2027 Saturn by transit will conjoin with the 2017 HS2 Mars/Uranus and will be square the natal Pluto. I think that will be an important moment.
Marjorie, could you have a look at the chart for Louise, Baroness Casey of Blackstock, born on 29 March 1965 in Redruth, Cornwall?
If you look at her Wikipedia page, she seems to be the go-to person for UK governments of both persuasions to investigate difficult social issues, from rough sleeping to child grooming. She sounds quite formidable as a person.
Something went wrong in Spain: EuropeanConservative.com has an article titled “From Power to Prosecution: Spain’s Socialist Party on the Brink”.
Marjorie in 2023: “Spain is in for a sticky three years ahead (like everywhere else) with a panicky, undermining tr Neptune Saturn in Aries square the Mars in 2025 and an uncertain SA Neptune opposition Saturn in 2026 and square the Uranus two years later; plus tr Pluto opposition the Saturn for a tough slog through 2024/25 and on to square the Uranus. It may not all be political but it won’t help.”
Peter Thiel-backed crypto group Bullish has filed for Wall Street IPO. Thiel 11/10/67, Frankfurt. Could you pls look at him in the context of command and control over the next 2/3 years.

thanks JB…ultra dark
The no kings protests on Saturday both in the US and globally were peaceful and remarkable. 11 million marched in the US alone. Trump’s parade on the other hand was lacklustre. The Moon/Pluto in Aquarius conjunction that day, with such huge movements of people was the perfect embodiment of people power.
Apologies. There are sundry estimates, with some reports estimating 4 million.
Harris got 75million votes yet only 4 million protested? That is extremely disappointing for democrats.
Sounds like a Fox or Newsmax chyron. Protests in red states like Idaho suggests this was far from a partisan affair.
Astrology of no kings & army’s birthday
Two squares present.
Aries Saturn-Neptune square Cancer Jupiter (no kings protest includes numerous gleeful burning of American flags) Jupiter is the King. Cancer Jupiter is America, the Cancer Sun, Sagittarius ASC.
Taurus Uranus square Leo Mars (Army on display at parade) Clinton insulting the army as lacklustre. Taurus the plodder. Meanwhile Iran is laying exposed as Israel takes over its skys.
No flags were burned. The marches were peaceful and the police praised the conduct of the protesters.
@VF, the numbers are being revised upwards as reliable reports come in. For example, in San Diego, where I joined the protests, a city known for its laid-back surf and beach tourism culture and not for its activism, the San Diego Police Department initially reported crowds of 20,000 in contrast to organizers’ reports of 50,000. By late afternoon SDPD, which tends to estimate low, in a press release thanking demonstrators for our respectful, peaceful behavior, revised its numbers to “more than 60,000” in two merged downtown protests. Organizers revised their numbers to 80,000. Altogether in our county, which is larger than seven states, there were 12 separate protests, many in very red, more rural areas. There were over 2,000 separate protests nationwide, including many in extremely red areas and states that went heavily for Trump.
The latest numbers I’ve heard are about 12 million protesters nationally, exceeding the 3.5 percent threshold I’ve heard tends to make a difference in effecting change. In my city and county, which used to be solidly Republican, we were at 4 percent of the population.
Many people of color followed advice not to come out for the protests out of concern of being disproportionately targeted by Trump’s goons for retaliation.
Our protests in San Diego were similarly disproportionately White, but, reflecting our demographics, with far more Asians and Latinos than the April protests. This time there were also far more young and middle-aged people than the April protests where seniors definitely dominated the turnout.
Those of us who were seniors remember the last time there were massive protests and we are showing up. I saw many people eager to be counted, despite needing walkers, canes and wheelchairs this go-round. I plan to participate in every coming protest I can.
Thank you, all
Along with more astro, would be great to have some references for the non-astro statements.

Thank you, Nicole. There were protests worldwide too. My sister attended a demo outside the American Embassy in London, wearing her ‘They’re eating the cats!’ T-shirt. AC, it was not partisan, there were conservatives as well as liberals there. The Aquarius vibration as a positive is an uplifting energy as it overlooks differences.
@Nicole, I have inserted this text above, I hope it reaches you. For some reason, my first response to your question concerning Trump, Netanyahu and Orban was overwritten by my second comment. So I’m trying again to share my initial answer, which actually addresses your question. I find all three men (Trump, Netanyahu, and Orbán) repulsive, destructive, and frankly treasonous. Their strongly afflicted Leo Mars, especially with the Alphard conjunction, gives them not only an appetite for power but, unfortunately, the power itself. To me, the dark side of Leo manifests as illusions of grandeur and an insatiable need for power and control.
Thanks, AM!
With the imminent release the Casey report, the UK government has just now announced a national inquiry into the Pakistani rape gangs.
