Hi Marjorie, I think you did a piece on the UK water companies but I can’t find it in an, admittedly quick, search. I wonder if it would be possible to look at dates for the privatisation of the utilities and other areas like Royal Mail, given how the last few years seem to have revealed the mess they are all in now.

Thank you
Could you take a look at Taylor Swifts upcoming transits?
I have been thinking on what Marjorie said about the Israeli chart showing grinding pressures and difficulties for the next 15 years or so. Given this, I have been feeling that somehow this proves Netanyahu or someone like him being in power and leading the country to a bleak period was inevitable somehow. I presume there are alternative tomelines where Israel has more enlightened leadership but the transits Marjorie outlined seem to suggest that the most likely timeline was this one or similar variants of it. Struggling with this as a concept TBH.

I am resistant to an overly fated view of what happens. It can feel like a convenient way of looking at events – Trump/Netanyahu had to happen to fit in with the celestial influences. But that seems to exonerate them from bad behaviour which I dislike. I don’t think we/or leaders are merely puppets on the strings of fate. There are always different ways of influences working out, some more productive/constructive then others.
Not sure what the answer is except that it is undoubtedly complicated.
Very sad to learn of Jenni Murray’s passing. Many of us grew up listening to ‘Woman’s Hour’. She was born 12 May 1950, Barnsley, West Riding.
Me too VF. It seemed like she was always there. Such a great interviewer, such a lovely warm voice.
It would be interesting to look at the Meningitis outbreak in Canterbury in the light of Saturn Neptune in Aries.
I tried the chart for midnight, 5th March where the infection seems to have begun.
It shows a kite with Saturn Neptune at the apex.
Saturn Neptune in one of its manifestations does coincide with epidemics.
Rachel Maddow on MSNow connected dots between Saudi Arabia’s huge investment in Jared Kushner’s projects (in the billions!), Saudi’s long-standing animosity towards and competition with Iran, Kushner’s Middle Eastern “advisory” position with Trump — and the American/Israeli war on Iran. Much obliged, Marjorie, if you could look at any undercurrents to suggest that Saudi pushed for this criminally unnecessary war on its old enemy without having to lift a finger itself?
Are my eyes deceiving me or does Jessie Buckley resemble Molly Vevers (call the midwife) to an extent that I confused them.

Is there a possibility of a post-mortem reading of Cesar Chavez, given the bombshell news about him sexually assaulting Dolores Huerta and other women?
Minor UK politics point, but the planetary realignments do seem to suggest forthcoming changes.
In this current session (the period between two consecutive State Openings/Speeches from the Throne) of the UK Parliament, we have seen two major policy changes come from the backbenches (non-ministerial members of parliament); assisted dying and complete decriminalisation of abortion.
For those not from the UK (and perhaps even for those within the UK, procuring or providing abortion of a foetus is still technically a crime under the Offenses against the Person Act 1861. In the 1960s-70s, if a pregnant woman procured abortion using the procedure prescribed by law (approval by two doctors, within a limited number of weeks of conception, etc), then that was a sufficient excuse from the the 1861 law and such a woman could/would not be prosecuted. But any abortion that departed from the procedure in the 1960s-70s law was still criminalised and could be prosecuted.
In this current session of Parliament, during the passage of a different bill on criminal law, women MPs (I think led by Stella Creasy MP, but I am not sure. I am talking from memory) put forward an amendment completely repealing the relevant sections from the 1861 Act, thus completely decriminalising abortion, no matter how or when it was procured.
This week and next week, that Bill is going through the Lords and it is quite likely that the Lords may delete that amendment from the Bill and pass it back to the Commons to think again. Given that Keir Starmer is aiming for a State Opening in May, just after the May elections, it is likely that the government may be willing to drop that amendment, which was not proposed by it, to get the rest of the Bill passed.
The newly appointed first female Archbishop of Canterbury, who is automatically ex-officio a member of the House of Lords, has already announced that she intends to speak and vote in the debate on the abortion amendment (though she has not mentioned which way she will speak and vote).
Outside Westminster, in the relatively (compared to Westminster) left leaning Scottish Parliament, the assisted dying bill there was put to death (it was rejected 57 to 69 on Tuesday). And it is likely that the Assisted Dying Bill in Westminster will also die from the intense scrutiny it is receiving in the Lords.
My wider observation is, both the main back-bench interventions in the law, which got a lot of fanfare when proposed last year, will likely have come to nothing by May. Has the astrological weather for such matters of conscience, on birth and death, changed drastically so suddenly?
Heard on the radio today that the Lords not only agreed with the Commons back-bench amendment on full decriminalisation of abortion, they have gone further and added an amendment to retrospectively pardon all women who were convicted under that provision in the past.
I had got the proposer of the amendment wrong. It was Tonia Antoniazzi MP. She had argued in the past for full-term abortions and now it seems that will soon become law.
It is interesting that countries like India have laws on in-vitro gender identification and abortion to prevent girl children being aborted (India already has a very warped gender imbalance of ~108 boys being born for every 100 girls), whereas in-vitro gender identification is legal in the UK (and in most other parts of the world) and soon full-term abortions will be too.
In other UK politics news, two ancient structures in UK politics will also soon be gone. The last hereditary peers/lords will soon lose their right to sit in the UK House of Lords. So now, with the exception of the 26 CoE bishops, all members of the House of Lords will have been appointed for life, like the Canadian Senate.
And jury trials will soon be restricted to only serious crimes. One argument made for judge-only trials is that the conviction rate for rape cases is too low, because juries are more reluctant to convict accused rapists, and that judges only trials will help convict more rapists faster.
There is also a plan to limit the number of appeals in criminal cases.
I wonder if a look at the charts for England 1066 and Magna Carta 1215 can be looked at to look at the end of such ancient structures. I also look forward to comments from Hugh Fowler and Jane, who have interesting approaches to astrological analyses on historical topics.
Off my mind, Singapore and Malaysia whose legal system is based on the English common law had abolished the Jury Trials. Singapore (1969), Malaysia (1995)

Marjorie — Any wagers on when China will make its move on Taiwan? Back in 2015, a retired U.S. Navy officer told me that long-term military thinkers have long played around with a 2025 date, but obviously that has passed. When the world order is seemingly up for grabs, it seems inevitable that China will flex its muscle at some point. I’d love to see your astrological take on a “reunification” of Taiwan and China, Marjorie.
Can you cast/read a chart for the US dollar? With the debt where it stands, and the decreasing status of the dollar as a safe haven, it would be interesting and relevant to know what is in store for this currency and its impact on US life in the years ahead.
Thank you Marjorie.
Marjorie has done a detailed article on the US Dollar on 9th April 2023 (found using the search function in the top right corner on the desktop version of this site), with charts on the first US Dollar coin, first US dollar note, etc, where she had said that the US dollar is looking for a period of “extreme turbulence” till at least mid-2028.
A lot of the international value of the dollar is based on it being the currency used to denominate petroleum products (i.e. the petro dollar). If the Gulf states move away from using the dollar as the basis for denominating their products, that could dent the dollar superiority and thus make US government debt unattractive, which could move global economic pressure into the US domestic economy and politics.
