Marjorie, could you show us Rickie Hatton’s chart? His funeral in Manchester today was attended by many of his fans, including various celebrities. He struggled with alcohol and drug abuse issues, was very charitable and a highly successful boxer. A complex character, I guess Neptune and perhaps Mars/Pluto may feature significantly?
Hi Marjorie,
Would you take a look at what’s happening with regards to the massive demonstrations taking place in Madagascar?
The BBC has been reporting on it daily…but few other news sources have given it much coverage.
Marjorie I just read that Joan Kennedy has died. Can you briefly discuss Ms. Kennedy’s chart? Thank you.
I was wondering if you could read on the authors Leslie Thomas, who has written some amazingly funny books like The Dangerous Davies series of books, which was made into a series of films starring Peter Davison and Sean Hughes. And Josephine Mey, not her real name. I have only recently discovered her work. She died in the 1950s. So anything on her would be most welcome.
I should have put Josephine Tey. Apologies for my typo. Put it down to having a senior moment. Well that was my mother’s excuse, I guess I am carrying on the tradition.
Marjorie, would you care to take a look at Pam Bondi’s chart for those who are interested, namely me. She is the US Attorney General whose approach to the role differs significantly from the independent approach of previous US AGs.
No birth time unfortunately. Born 17 Nov 1965 Tampa FL USA.
She has a Virgo Stellium (Pluto, Uranus, Moon) opp Saturn in Pisces square a Sag Mercury. To me those aspects suggests significant challenges, but I would appreciate your expertise and thoughts.
Have just found out that the US civil war (worst death toll in American history) and the Taiping rebellion (civil war under the Qing dynasty that resulted in 30 million deaths), both ended at roughly the same time – 1864 for the Taiping rebellion, 1865 for the US civil war.
So China must have a Gemini point that got activated by tr Uranus, just like the United States
But I can’t find which chart shows that. Any ideas?
Hello. In the US, the Democratic presidential candidate has not won the white vote since 1964 (not even Pres Obama). Are there transits that show this in the collective chart (like a specific retrograde planet that would show that this demographic is lost) and what house and transits could reflect the white women vote (53% voted for Trump). TY.
You need to include the electorate who didn’t vote. In Australia, you have to vote whether you want to or not. Though I don’t know whether you put your cross on an ‘I am officially abstaining,’ or if you have to deface the document, by voting for 2 candidates instead of one. Kind of difficult if you have proportional representation, though.
Hi Marjorie
Which houses & planets indicates a person because an author? I would appreciate your assistance.
The French Prime Minister has just resigned after less than a month. In September Marjorie wrote:
“The Revolutionary France chart of 1789 is certainly under water with Eclipses plus Scheat plus tr Neptune Saturn all assaulting its last degree Virgo Sun.
France 5th Republic chart, 28 September 1958 6pm is equally at a critical point with the Solar Arc Uranus conjunct the North Node almost exactly now.”
I noticed that the full Harvest Supermoon at 14 Aries energises:
5th Republic Moon, 13 Aries
Macron Presidency Jupiter (one of Macron’s nicknames) 14 Libra
And transiting Mars in Scorpio, ruling this Full Moon, highlights:
5th Republic SA Pluto, 10 Scorpio
France/Macron composite Mercury, 10 Scorpio
Dame Jilly Cooper, 21 February, 1937, has died very suddenly after a fall on Sunday. She’s famous for her ‘bonkbuster’ novels of course (Riders, etc) – but was just such a joyful, funny, human being, with a great love of dogs and gardens too. She’d just had her Saturn Return, and Uranus was squaring her Pisces Sun. RIP.
Just to add – this message about Jilly Cooper from her friend, Queen Camilla, seems warm and apt:
“And may her hereafter be filled with impossibly handsome men and devoted dogs.”
Here’s a good one. The NFL selected Bad Bunny, a Trump trolling rapper who performs in Spanish, to play the Super Bowl halftime show. The Trump admin vowed a strong ICE presence at the Super Bowl. Worth looking at Trump, Bunny and the Super Bowl itself for the day of the big game? Maybe Roger Goodell, too?
Hi Marjorie,
Would you look into Trump’s peace plan for Gaza? Hamas has supposedly agreed to the terms and days they’ll release the Israeli hostages.
Marjorie:
Can you please look at Dame Patricia Routledge’s chart? I always enjoyed her performances.
Thanks!
The yacht episode of Keeping Up Appearances on the BBC this evening was so funny.
In other news that has happened today just so far, and it is still morning (in London anyway)…
(a) Grand Duke Henri Of Luxembourg (born 16 April 1955 in Betzdorf, Luxembourg) abdicates on the 25th anniversary of his own accession to the Throne and his son Guillaume (born 11 November 1981 in Luxembourg City) is now Grand Duke of Luxembourg as of today morning.
(b) Bishop Sarah Mullally of London (born Sarah Elisabeth Bowser on 26 March 1962; location not given on Wikipedia, but her schooling was done in Woking, Surrey) is announced as the next Archbishop of Canterbury. She will be the first ever female Archbishop of Canterbury.
(c) today is of course the 35th anniversary of German Unity Day (3rd October 1990). So perhaps a chart of Germany as it is now, and in context of the German chart of 1871 may be appropriate too.
Thought occurred to me after posting the message above.
Marjorie, what date(s) would you use for the office of the Archbishop of Canterbury?
Dame Sarah will not legally be in post until the confirmation of election in January 2026. Following that there will be the Archbishop enthronement ceremony, date unannounced as yet. So I guess there will be more than one date for Marjorie to work from. Her birth (nee Bowser) was registered in the Surrey North Western registration district, which includes Woking.
There are already some wobblies being thrown by the ‘women should not be ordained’ cliques within the Church. We shall see.
God, this is a lot of news coming out this morning.
Dame Patricia Routledge (born 17 February 1929 in Tranmere in Birkenhead, Cheshire, according to Wikipedia) has gone to get the great Bucket/Bouquet in the heavens.
Perhaps the people up there also needed a laugh.
Born in Woking as per The Archbishop of Canterbury’s website.
Can you look at the astrology of Manchester and why they have so many terrorist attacks?
Corporation Street bombing by the IRA – 15 June 1996
Manchester Arena bombing (Ariana Grande concert) – 22 May 2017
Synagogue attacks – 2 Oct 2025
Other cities like Cardiff, Newcastle, Edinburgh don’t experience this sort of thing. So what is it about Manchester’s astrology that makes them the victim of terrorist attacks?
Have just realised the synagugue attack is tied into Keir Starmer’s chart.
He has Saturn at 5 Aquarius 49. At the time of the attack, the Moon was at 6 Aq 49 conjunct Pluto at 1 Aq 24. Both were squared by Mars at 6 Scorpio 47.
And if you look at the stabbings of those girls Southport on 29 Jul 2024, again Starmer’s Saturn is involved. When the incident took place, tr Pluto was at 0 Aq 43, the Sun was opposite at 6 Leo 46 (and making an opposition to Starmer’s Saturn). Tr Mars was at 5 Gemini 52, trining the Sun that day and sextiling Starmer’s Saturn.
So in a weird way these horrible events are all about Starmer’s destiny and his cold authoritarian Saturn which is being activated by Pluto. The ancients would have associated him with bad luck and removed him.
I’m convinced Starmer was born at 22:45 which would put Saturn on the midheaven and would give him an asc of 9 Gemini 46. Gemini rising would fit in with his tendency to flip-flp and fib. Saturn on the midheaven would give him his grim public persona.
I think a gemini ascendent is a possibility. Long thin hands vs his built.
I can’t remember off hand with midpoint of Starmer’s falls on Argol placement on the election night, yet I have a feeling, I came across one that does in his chart. The energy all ties in together. As a leader represents their country,. This Labour Party was elected under the Algol energy. Incidentally Tony Blair has his Sun conjunct Algol. Although, I read, HAMAS have now rejected him having anything to do with Gaza. I think you may be right about him having Gemini Ascendent.
It appears that Putin’s power is finally waning. There have even been criticisms by political pundits on Russian TV. This is an interesting time astrologically because of the Saturn/Neptune conjunction – the signature of regime change in Russia – moving back over Scheat into late Pisces for the remainder of this year, until it finally moves into Aries in February 2026.
Also reports that Assad, supposedly under Putin’s protection has recently been poisoned. It is allegedly the second assassination attempt on the former Syrian dictator. The new leadership in Syria is demanding that Assad be extradited to face war crime charges.
