Can you read Oprah Winfrey? Her transits for the turn of the decade? She’s in the news for an ignorant comment about saving Whitney Houston’s life
Which Whitney’s family have come out to categorically deny. They acknowledge that she had her issues but that particular occasion she was clean/sober.
So what’s up with Oprah? Clearly she didn’t do a good job of saving Whitney according to ‘her truth’. So is she missing the spotlight.
It must be tr Pluto on her Sun and Venus but far from her Mercury for her to be having a ‘foot in mouth’ experience?
What is your impression of the upcoming July 19th configuration? The so called Barbault’s Basket.
Apologies, I just spotted your 12th May 2026 post.
Thank you for the explanation of why you use composite instead of biWheel with the 1801 chart. You said it was better for timings, do you then look at the transits to the composite?
Does this often show the endings of a relationship?
It can do – though all relationships go through rough patches and some come out the other end intact.
Can you look at Taylor and Travis with their upcoming July 3rd wedding?
Her solar return around that time seems challenged which could just be nerves about wedding preparation.
Any projections for how the upcoming Jupiter trine Saturn transit might play out on the world stage?
Hi Marjorie, any thoughts on the ‘astrocartography’ trademarking drama? It was mentioned in the June 2026 The Astrology Podcast with Chris Brennan, and Helena Woods posted a video on YouTube – ‘My student trademarked Astrocartography’. Wondering if you have any thoughts to add? Thanks again for all you do Marjorie

Please, what’s the name of that coral-salmon-apricot color rose?
My favorites are Blu Moon ( Mainzer Fastnacht) and Charles de Gaulle. They smell similar to white peonies.
Thank you
Sorry don’t know except it is a tea rose planted 38 years ago. Plant net app was no help. Sorry. My favourite is Handel (above).
Thank you.
It might be Silver Jubilee or possibly Pink Peace, though PP is likely more of an even (one) colour. Photos are unreliable, but the rose in the photo looks like it has peach highlights, which Silver Jubilee has. It’s a 1977 hybrid tea that is hard to get in North America because it cannot handle heat but does not like very cold winters either, and where roses are a matter of fashion, marketed as the latest, but not necessarily the greatest. SJ is a very beautiful, strong, upright rose of modest height to 4′ that won many prizes in the memorable Jubilee year when I happened to visit England. It was the favorite of an older friend, sadly passed, who grew over 500 roses and really knew her stuff. Depending on the soil and the seasonal temperature, SJ’s colour varies from deep pink to salmon-peach and combinations thereof. Lucky you, if you have it and can grow it!
Thanks, It sounds likely though this is north east Scotland and not always temperate over the winter. But it is against the house which will help
Wow! Thank you. It looks like Silver Jubilee. Pink Peace is beautiful too. Politicians are same everywhere, but roses are best in England. I will find it in my little country, not famous for beautiful gardens, or l’ll eat my hat.
Once again, thank you Marjorie and Sweet Grapes.
Definitely looks like it.
Rosa ‘Silver Jubilee’
Dense, vigorous upright shrub about 1.2m tall, with plentiful, glossy, dark foliage. Very free-flowering, shapely, high-centred, double, pink blooms to 12cm across, darker on the reverse, and tinted with apricot towards the centre, almost continuously in flower during summer and autumn
Withstands severe winters, surviving temperatures as low as -20°C to -15°C.
Well, -20 winters seem too optimistic, but near the coast up north may be ok for wintering roses as any place near the ocean should have more moderate temperatures.
Hi Marjorie, you looked at Leo Messi and Kylian Mbappe back in December 2022 – time for a revisit? Both Seem to be doing well in the 2026 World Cup thus far.
Majorie, if you have time would you mind doing a reading on Egypt. The last post was dated 2022/2023. How the relationship with Israel and will it finally become the emerging market that everyone was hoping for years. Thanks.
Revolutionary change comes to Cuba. Any thoughts on this remarkable development?
