Hello Marjorie,
Would you consider looking into Dr. James Dobson who recently passed? He may be a bit outside of the norm for you but he was the Founder of Focus on the Family, a Christian R-Wing organization that espoused family values through violent disciplinarian actions against children (and even his Dachshund dog!) in an effort to keep them fearful and obedient. We was also a proponent of “purity culture” where young girls (only) pledged their virginity to their fathers until marriage. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Dobson https://www.forever-wars.com/james-dobson-godfather-of-child-abuse-finally-dies/
I presume that not many people know who Karren Brady is. Not even in the Kingdom. The woman underwent a remarkable physical transformation that raised eyebrows, got her called a Kardashian clone, and has been filling the newspaper columns in Blighty for days.
I always wonder what happens behind the scenes to cause such a transformation and what is the astrological signature of it.
Weight loss can be Saturn (squeezing, depleting, diminution, paucity, scarcity, lessening) over Sun (one’s identity, vital force). Or it can be Saturn over the ascendant (presentation towards the outer world [in other matter also one’s priorities]).
Then there is that remark by Marjorie if there is no promise of a successful relationship in a personal chart, no matter how good the synastry, the relationship is unlikely to last. So if we could yet again take a peek at Aniston, and this time with Curtis, it’d be nice. No data for him: somewhere it says he was born in 1976, other spots mention February 1965. If anyone is good tracking it down, it would be lovely.
A profile of Anna Lapwood would be interesting: the TikTok organist, the Taylor Swift of classical music – a musical prodigy – still only 30 and already at the top professionally, inspiring many young musicians. Her passion for music and love of performing make her a joy to watch. She is fearless on the organ bench, one comment described her as not so much playing the organ at the Royal Albert Hall as piloting it. Someone who expresses the known qualities of Leo in a really positive way.
TIA
The FBI under Kash Patel have raided John Bolton’s house today. I’m assuming it is an act of petty vengeance by the dictator in the WH – there’s currently a yod on his Ascendant with Pluto sextile Neptune and Saturn.
Trump’s Ascendant, I mean. Bolton’s Jupiter in Capricorn is currently being hit by Saturn/Neptune in Aries.
Hi Marjorie, can you look into Larry Fink? He runs BlackRock, the world’s biggest asset manager with $12+ trillion under control, a firm that’s been accused of fueling housing crises (buying up homes and jacking rents), backing fossil fuels and defense contractors, and profiting from global instability. Now he’s been made interim co-chair of the World Economic Forum, the same crowd that once floated ‘you’ll own nothing and be happy.’ How is it not a massive conflict of interest to put the man who literally profits from people owning nothing in charge of shaping global policy?
Hi Marjorie,
It’s being reported by HuffPost that Texas Republicans have been given the green-light to redistrict their federal congressional map. The new congressional map will give Republicans a 5 seat advantage and could give them a leg up in the 2026 midterm elections for control of the U.S. House of Representatives.
Democratic Governors Gavin Newsom of California, Kathy Hochul of New York State, and Wes Moore of Maryland have all condemned what the Republicans are doing and accusing them of cheating. As a result, Gavin Newsom has already vowed to redistrict California (which will require a special election this November) and New York and Maryland are considering doing the same.
This has been a top story here in the U.S. because Donald Trump is pushing for red states to redistrict in an effort to keep himself and his associates in power after next year. Even former President Obama just came out to endorse Gavin Newsom’s efforts to redistrict California in retaliation.
Anyway, I was hoping you might be able to give some kind of an astrological analysis of this debacle. Does the astrology suggest any Karma for the Republicans….or does it suggest yet another lucky break for all of them?
Alvarado has told the Republicans she is going to filibuster. She has done this before for 15 hours but astrologically she will most likely filibuster through the Balsamic Moon into a New Moon. In Austin, that happens at 1:07 am tomorrow, August 23.
Hi Marjorie,
Occasionally you mention the Moon someone was born under e.g.New Moon, would you consider a post highlighting how being born under different Moon cycle phases can show up in a person’s life?
Thank you
Todays High Court ruling to grant a temporary injunction to Essex Council to stop housing asylum migrants in expensive hotels strikes me as very Pluto in Aquarius. As did the UK Supreme Court ruling that clarified the legal definition of a woman.
Nonsensical rules were never going to wash with intellectual Aquarius.
I see Plutos retreat into Capricorn to ‘finish the job’ as a key turning point.
Hi Marjorie.
One to consider. Henry Marsh the brain surgeon born 5 March 1950 in Oxford. There was a wonderful programme on TV on him last night portraying him as a man troubled by those he operated on who did not make it saying “ all surgeons carry inside themselves an inner cemetery, a place full of regret”.
And yet he was one of the best brain surgeons in the world pioneering brain surgery where the patient is conscious and so the effects of the surgery can be monitored in real time. He also took on cases that other brain surgeons would not touch. There was regret about sacrificing his family for his career but also tremendous compassion for his patients. He also founded a hospital in Ukraine and continues to visit there since the Russian invasion. An extraordinary man.
Sounds like a remarkable man Susy. True to his sun sign Pisces, compassionate through and through.
I correctly guessed Aquarius strong in his chart too (scientific brilliance and working for the collective good).
Hi Marjorie, Aubrey Plaza has just been on Amy Poehler’s podcast ‘Good Hang’ (on YouTube) after a 7 month or so hiatus after her husband died. She is 41, and known for her deadpan expression and sarcastic sense of humour. She was on Parks & Rec, amongst others. Would love some insight into her chart please. Thank you.
Hello Marjorie
Inspirational and courageous Irish writer Sally Rooney is defying the Munchausen-esque uk legislation which arrests old people protesting peacefully against genocide. Born 20.2.91 in Co Limerick if you have time. The ultimate fate of that legislation and its author Cooper of interest too if you have time.
Could you look at Catherine and Williams new home. They say it’s a forever home but that’s what they said about kennsington palace and ameer. Will they move again?
Clarence House at one point is a given, no?
Marjorie, would you be able to look at Charli xcx? She has had a huge year with her music (after being consdered underground since her debut in 2013) and married recently. She is is mixed heritage (mother is Indian and dad is english) but wouldnt describe herself under the category of ‘british asian’ – her song ‘Apple’ is the closest shes ever been to describing inter-generational strife.
I just read power brokers and the king of kings and I was interested in how these men were similar: Robert Moses and the shah of Iran.
Is there any way of telling if someone was born prematurely in their chart? If so, would their due date have any influence in their life?
Interesting question! I was told by an astrologer decades ago that I was born prematurely, but I didn’t ask how she could tell. I assumed later that it had to do with Venus and Mars conjunct in Aries, at the Aries Point.
Sounds like intuition on the part of the astrologer.
I’m interested in the question of prematurity and the birth chart from a slightly different angle. If I had arrived on my due date, I would have been born with a Sun-Saturn conjunction. Was my premature birth 8 days earlier an attempt to evade this family pattern of strong Sun-Saturn contacts?
