 When will the US stand up for the edicts of its founding fathers of whom it used to be so proud, who laid down the constitution defending democracy and created the institutions which have stood the test of 250 years?

  Trump’s relationship with the USA in essence is chained together with a composite Sun trine Pluto sextile Saturn – but even that is beginning to come unstuck this year with a disappointing, undermining tr Neptune square the composite Sun starting late this April to late May, dissolving the ties that bind; with serious tensions erupting from this July onwards as tr Uranus is square the composite Saturn, followed by a pressure-for-change tr Pluto square the Pluto to the year’s end. Tr Uranus will continue to ratchet up tensions till May 2027 and tr Neptune will continue to sink the ground under his feet till early 2028. He won’t let go easily but whether through unpopularity or ill-health or both, he will find his grip on the nation loosening fast. Tr Saturn squared the composite Sun recently in mid March two weeks after the Iran attack when it became clear this was no speedy in-and-out venture.  

  The Supreme Court is managing to find a backbone having  recently ruled his administration had no authority to use emergency powers to impose tariffs. The justices were not willing to give Trump a blank cheque to bypass Congress and the courts.  They now appear sceptical about his executive order limiting birthright citizenship, which is a key element of his immigration agenda. The decision is expected in June. A loss would be a setback to Trump’s immigration agenda and would also represent a larger blow to his efforts to aggressively expand executive power since returning to office.

  The Supreme Court, 2 February 1790 New York, has a Sun Pluto conjunct in Aquarius which seems fitting for the new era. But it will be facing a monumental battle ahead with the Progressed Mars square the Sun in 2027 as well as being conjunct the Scorpio North Node. So it may come to a considerable standoff and collision, almost existential, so it will test their resilience as tr Pluto opposes the Uranus in 2027/28 as well threatening to upset the applecart.

 DT’s relationship with the Supreme Court chart hints at bitter arguments this year and next. With John Roberts there will be ongoing differences into 2027 though one argument may be ducked this year.

 His relationship with virtually all the justices will be stressed ahead apart from Samuel Alito and Brett Kavanaugh. Even Amy Barrett is having a meltdown with him, as well as the other liberal or more moderate justices like Neil Gorsuch, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and especially Ketanji Brown Jackson. Ketanji has a bitter-dislike composite Mars conjunct Pluto in her relationship chart with DT which is being triggered by tr Uranus in June and across the New Year.

George Washington:

“The constitution vests the power of declaring war in Congress; therefore no offensive expedition of importance can be undertaken until after they shall have deliberated upon the subject and authorized such a measure.”

“Truth will ultimately prevail where there is pains to bring it to light.”

“The Constitution is the guide which I never will abandon.”

“If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.”

“Guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism.”

“Observe good faith and justice toward all nations. Cultivate peace and harmony with all.”

“For happily the Government of the United States, which gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance requires only that they who live under its protection should demean themselves as good…”

  Pet astrology is fun and works better than you might expect even if you can only find a rough approximation of their sun sign. Pedigree or breeder friends, even better, can proffer, the exact time.

Tashi, small fluffball Lahsa apso, 17 September 2025 8.15pm Aberdeen, has a busy, busy 6^th house Virgo Sun and vocal Mercury opposition a not-always practical 12^th house Saturn. A flashy and attention-demanding 5^th house Leo Moon and Leo Venus give her confidence; and a 4^th house Jupiter hints at happy-home-time. Plus a determined, get-my-own-way 10^th house Pluto trine a wayward 1^st house Uranus may make her tricky to train.

Prior to this 4 kilo squiggle, was a 40 kilo grey Weimaraner, named Turtur (colour like a dove), 5 May 2012 11.30pm Salernes, France. A boisterous Sun Jupiter in Taurus in the entertaining 5^th house she insisted on being centre of attention at all times – greeting everyone with rapturous glee and knocking them over, stealing canapes and anything else that was not stored in a locked cupboard. She had an Earth Grand Trine of Sun trine Mars trine Pluto and was all physical vitality demanding endless exercise of 10 kilometres a day at least. And for a breed known at best for what is politely called ‘dominance’, her Mars Pluto could be seriously defiant and strong-minded.

 When I moved from France back to England, tr Uranus was conjunct her Sun as she was wrenched away from her beloved vineyards where she could be let off the lead and went snake hunting, non-poisonous there mercifully. Weimaraners were bred to hunt wild boar but they only came out at night in that region and she only met one who got away. In rural England she had to make do with diving into hedges on the end of a lead and coming out with a poor assassinated pheasant.

Before her were two brother felines – Camembert and Roquefort, 14 April 2005 4am Port Vendres, France, whom the vet unkindly dubbed les chats du guttieres – alley cats. They had charming and high vitality 3^rd house Sun Venus in Aries though they were very different temperaments – one pushy and the other quieter. Sun Venus trine Pluto with Mars Neptune on the midpoint did give them chutzpah. Sadly when the transiting North Node was conjunct their Pluto and tr Saturn was conjunct their Jupiter, one ran away over a house move and the quieter, sweeter brother died suddenly a few weeks later of a heart attack.

Before that – Sophie, a Maine Coon, 5 July 1994 11.47pm London, was clingy affectionate and not even-tempered – a Cancerian with a Moon Mars in Gemini. She co-habited with a midget rescue tortoiseshell called Peppermint who had to have been Gemini since she never stopped vocalizing and disappeared every night out of the cat flap to go terrorizing the neighbourhood cats.

Back a step on the pet ladder there was an English pointer, exquisitely beautiful but oh so stupid and neurotic, named Dizzy, who was terrified of Slasher (renamed Tom Pom) a stray black cat, bruised and battered who moved in without an invitation and stayed.

 First pets were two Jack Russells – one called Demon (not by me) who was anything but demonic in nature, a sweetie, except if you were a rat or a rabbit.  Totty bought to keep him company turned out to be a fiend and had to be rehomed.   

Pets have a short lifespan compared to human and when they go it is painful. But the consolation is that they have had a good life and it is their time.

Nasa has launched four astronauts on a 1mn km flight around the Moon and back, the next step in the US space agency’s plans to establish a long-term presence on the lunar surface. The 10-day mission will take humans further into space than ever before, and is designed to test many of the technologies that Nasa will use for Artemis IV, scheduled to land on the Moon in 2028. Last week Nasa laid out a phased programme to build a $20bn Moon base. It will start with occasional human visits to build infrastructure on the lunar surface and then eventually transition over several years to continuous human habitation. This launch marks the first time since the Apollo 17 mission of December 1972 that humans will have left lower Earth orbit.

 Artemis 11 took off at 6.35pm 1 April 2026 from the Kennedy Space Center on Merritt Island, Florida with a successful Jupiter in the 10^th square the Full Moon; Uranus in the far-travelled 9^th, a costly Venus in Taurus in the financial 8^th, Pluto in the grandstanding 5^th and Saturn Neptune together in the 6^th fittingly for the first woman and first black man to go into space.

  NASA 29 July 1958, will be on tenterhooks and under great pressure with tr Pluto square its Mars exactly now and moving to oppose its Leo Sun in 2027. Tr Uranus will also square its Pluto Mercury from mid May and throughout the rest of the year which will either cause an upset to plans or bring a renewed push with innovative projects. It is certainly facing a challenging year and on as tr Pluto moves to oppose the Sun/Uranus midpoint in 2028/29 and then oppose the Uranus for a major turnaround.

 There is nothing like as difficult or calamitous in the NASA’s astrology as there was for the Challenger disaster in 1986 when there was a destructive Solar Arc Mars square Pluto.

  Astronauts are beyond brave – or have a different mentality to ordinary folk. Living on the edge.

ADD ON: Victor Glover, pilot of Artemis was born 30 April 1976 6.17 am Pomona, California (thanks Astrodienst). He has a Sun Jupiter conjunction in Taurus close to his Ascendant and Moon in Taurus in his 1^st – steady, practical, unflappable. His Sun Jupiter South Node oppose Uranus in his 6^th and his Descendant North Node, which will suit him for an experimental career. A tough-minded, disciplined Mars Saturn conjunction in his 3^rd are square Venus Chiron in Aries. An 8^th house Neptune is sextile Pluto for a yod inconjunct Sun Jupiter, designing him for a singular role in life, highlighting his personality and giving him luck though at times a tendency to over-confidence.

 He does have a catastrophic tr Uranus square his Mars/Pluto midpoint at the end of April to mid May with more unsettling challenges in June and beyond but overall, assuming a happy re-entry, he has a run of fortunate Pluto transits to his Jupiter/Uranus midpoint and then Jupiter in coming years.

  His Taurus heavy chart is similar to Chay Blyth, the Scottish lone round-the-world yachtsman, born 14 May 1940, 4.30am Hawick, Scotland. He was also a Sun Taurus in his case conjunct Uranus with Mercury Saturn also in Taurus, plus Neptune in Virgo in his 6^th house with a Taurus Ascendant close to Jupiter and a Capricorn Midheaven.  

 Charlie Dalin, who won the world’s toughest solo, non-stop, unassisted round-the-world yacht race, rounding the three great capes (Good Hope, Leeuwin, and Cape Horn) is also a Sun Taurus . See post Charlie Dalin, 11th January 2026 which also has Chay Blyth’s chart.

 Cosmic or oceanic – earthy Taurus appears to be a surprising asset.

On the threshold of the new era with Uranus poised to be the final piece of the jigsaw to fall into place in late April as it moves into Gemini, there are several minor planet conjunctions to help or hinder the way ahead.

 Mercury in Pisces will conjunct Nessus on April 9^th. Usually associated with deceit Nessus has a positive role, making us better equipped to deal with risks and cons. It might suggest the ‘negotiations’ in the Middle East and elsewhere are hindered by treachery and insincerity. Nessus is also linked with ancestral and collective trauma – unresolved issues passed down through family lines or cultural groups which like the Shirt of Nessus slowly poisons or wounds. On the upside it encourages individuals to stand up against injustice and toxic patterns to ensure the past does not repeat itself, demanding that these hidden wounds be given voice and visibility. Which certainly sounds accurate for the ancient blood feuds of the Middle East.

On the 9^th Mars in Pisces is conjunct the Fixed Star Scheat, which generally is regarded as unfortunate, likely to occur with accidents, natural disasters and in this case because of combative actions.

On the 15^th the Aries Sun is conjunct Eris, the dwarf planet, recognized for its similarities to Pluto. Although thought to be a force that disrupts, provokes and shatters illusions, it can also be a potent force for personal evolution.  Both conflict and catalyst, it highlights fractures that already exist. It calls for a stand against falsehoods and prompts a confrontation with uncomfortable truths. With awareness it brings a moment where it is crucial to challenge distortions and say ‘No More’.

 On the 16^th the Aries Sun is conjunct the centaur asteroid Chiron which suggests that progress will not be made on the basis of pride, ego or ‘winning’. Healing can only come from a place of selflessness – which in a fight between alpha males, fuelled by ancient blood feuds and egged on by a rampant narcissist, may give the fates pause for thought.

 The Aries New Moon on the 17^th pulls together with the Eris Chiron conjunction – with all four tied in a bow. At best it could point to new beginnings where there are enough voices saying ‘no more’ and healing of collective and generational trauma can begin. But that does seem to be a gigantic ask and a Pollyanna delusion.

  For all that there is a message coming from the universe at the moment with the Chiron Eris conjunction which I cannot articulate but seems crucially significant. It has been in place since 2023 and moves out of orb before mid 2027. Perhaps part of it is about negative events having to reach crisis point before real change takes place – e.g. the Middle East saying enough is enough to Iran and Israel since this latest conflict had its beginnings in 2023 with the Hamas attack. And somewhat later, Trump going on a despotic rampage in the US since his election.

 To finish off April, Uranus as it moves into Gemini on the 26^th will conjunct the dwarf planet Sedna.  In mythology Sedna was betrayed by her angry, cruel father but survives her abandonment to become a mighty sea goddess and ruler of the monsters of the deep.

The myth of Sedna revolves around betrayal, abandonment, resilience, and the transformation of victimization into spiritual empowerment.  It prompts a confrontation with harsh truths to uncover inner strength.  Key Themes: The Survivor and Resilience: Sedna energy comes into play during extreme stress or situations where self-preservation is vital. It represents the ability to dive into deep, uncomfortable emotional waters and survive, turning hardship into a “backbone”.

  Quite what effect Uranus will have on Sedna remains to be seen – but one possibility is the innovative side of Uranus will come into play to ‘rescue’ a situation of hardship.

Interesting month.

King Charles is expected to be welcomed by Trump to a US state visit on April 27 to 30, assuming fate and the Iranian fiasco do not upset best laid plans.

 The Royals are used to smiling politely through gritted teeth when on duty no matter what their personal feelings are. Assuming it goes ahead on the stated dates Charles has tr Pluto conjunct his Descendant from late last month till after mid June so in general will be experiencing intense reactions in relationships with those he meets. On April 27^th as well, tr Mars in Aries will be in a short-fused conjunction with his Midheaven and just passed the conjunction to tr Saturn – so the mood will be fractious. Tr Mars is also in a suppressed frustration opposition to his Sun/Saturn midpoint and tr Pluto is in a marginally contemptuous conjunction to his Mercury/North Node. Nothing too alarming but not exactly a light-hearted romp.

On the synastry, Charles’ Scorpio Sun sits on Trump’s IC so he will make the president feel warm and fuzzy inside; though Charles’ Saturn in Virgo in DT’s 1^st will dampen his flamboyant approach a touch. Charles’ Mars in Sagittarius is conjunct DT’s Moon South Node and opposition his Gemini Sun which could be argumentative – though Charles’ Jupiter close by may mellow the interaction.

 There will be enough schmaltz from DT’s Jupiter conjunct Charles’ Venus in his familial 4^th to cover over much of the edginess, no doubt with much talk of the late Queen Elizabeth.

 Camilla will have a harder time with her Cancer Sun conjunct DT’s Saturn and her Saturn conjunct his Pluto for downbeat chemistry; and worse, her Uranus conjunct his Gemini Sun and opposition Moon so it will take all her well bred stiff upper lip to sail through without flinching or letting fly.

 And certainly she and Melania are not a match made for compatibility with Melania’s Uranus square Camilla’s Venus Moon; and Melania’s controlling Pluto square Camilla’s defiant Uranus – differing agendas and a tendency to upset the other’s plans.  Their relationship chart has an active-dislike composite Mars square Pluto, covered over by a superficially amiable Sun Venus although even that is hemmed in by a dutiful Saturn.

 If it comes to pass, the body language will be an entertainment.  

Céline Dion is to make comeback with series of concerts in Paris after a neurological condition called stiff-person syndrome stopped her touring after it was diagnosed in 2022. The condition, which affects between one and two people in every million, causes severe muscle stiffness and spasms. Though she has said she did suffer from symptoms for years before that.

 She announced her return with an illuminated message on the Eiffel Tower. Her last big appearance was her powerful performance of Édith Piaf’s Hymne à l’amour from the lower deck of the Eiffel Tower in the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics. Her return to performing suggests that she has managed the condition enough to handle the rigours of a season at a single concert venue, though not an international tour. Her concerts will be spaced out, taking place on Wednesdays and Saturdays from September 12 to October 14 this year.

  Born 30 March 1968 12.15pm Charlemagne, PQ Canada,  she has a determined, self-reliant Sun Saturn in Aries on her Midheaven with a late Aries Moon conjunct an ambitious Mars in Taurus also in her 10^th. Her musical Venus Mercury in Pisces on the cusp of the international 9^th house is opposition the constantly changing Uranus Pluto conjunction in Virgo. Her Jupiter in flamboyant Leo in her 2^nd will be lucky with money and it squares creative Neptune in Scorpio.

 She also has a yod of Uranus sextile Neptune inconjunct her Moon which will make her emotionally fragile and disorganised.

 Saturn rules her 6^th house of health and given its position beside the Sun and Midheaven hints at workaholic tendencies and an inability to relax.

 Tr Jupiter will move across her Ascendant from July of this year onwards bringing a new cycle of enthusiasm and renewed confidence. Though several of her midpoints have undermining transits this year and her Solar Returns no matter where located look challenging.

 But tr Pluto is moving out of her 6^th house as of this year where it has been since 2012, so that will lift pressures off her health. And tr Saturn is heading for her Midheaven across the summer and again next year, so she will want to be out pushing her ambitions forward as before.

 She evidently spends much time at her home in Las Vegas or did before she paused her career. Her chart relocated there puts Neptune in her 6^th and Uranus Pluto in her 4^th – not ideal as a restful or health-giving environment. But good for career.

An unlikely quartet of Egypt, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Turkey have come together in an effort not only to broker a Middle East ceasefire but also to discuss ways of curbing the dominance of Iran and Israel after the war. It may also draw in other Gulf countries if their desalination and power plants continue to be attacked.

  Looking across a range of charts what is obvious is that any negotiated settlement reached in the near future – hopefully before this August’s helpful, hopeful, problem-solving eclipse – will not be the end of it. Aggravation and hostilities will break out again in a couple of years towards the end of this decade and a couple of years beyond.

The Israel/Iran 1501 relationship chart shows this April as truly devastating with tr Uranus opposition the composite Neptune. With a slipping and sliding 2027; and a major upset and further rift in 2028 as tr Uranus squares the composite Sun and much worse in 2030/31 with tr Neptune square the outright dislike/warlike Saturn Mars conjunction.

Saudi Arabia, 15 January 1902 3.45am Riyadh, will be facing a blockage along with fear and frustration in 2029 to 2032 as the SA Mars is conjunct their Pluto and opposition Uranus; with a hint before then in 2028 of an opportunistic push which could produce luck but could also go the other way as the SA Uranus square their Sin Jupiter.

 Saudi Arabia’s relations with Israel will be high tension this year, evasive and deceitful in 2027; and finding the constant jockeying for the upper hand comes unstuck 2028 to 2031 as tr Neptune undermines their composite Jupiter opposition Pluto.  Iran/Saudi – on a downward slide now till 2029, worse in 2030 through more disappointing than aggressive.

Egypt, 14 March 1922 10.43pm Cairo, will be on high alert in 2028 with tr Uranus square its Uranus and opposition its Mars; with SA Uranus square its Sun in 2028 and logjammed by 2029 with SA Sun conjunct Plito.  Its relations with Israel with be tense in the extreme and likely to erupt in 2028/29  with tr Uranus square the Neptune Saturn (Moon). Relations with Iran will be jangled and jolted through this year with tr Uranus square the composite Venus, Mars, Uranus into 2027. But it is 2029 when the really serious tensions will be hard to resolve with tr Pluto square the Saturn and tr Uranus square the Pluto.

Turkey, 29 October 2023 8.30pm, Ankara, is panicky in 2027 with failure looming (which could be for a variety of reasons), with confusion and drift in 2027 with SA Sun opposition Neptune; and hugely unsettled towards 2030 with tr Uranus square Uranus, tr Neptune square Pluto and SA Mars square Saturn.

 Relations between Turkey/Israel are seriously at odds 2028 to 2031. With Iran there’ll be disappointment and confusion as well as rifts this year and a major upset and possible turnaround come 2030.

 Both the United Arab Emirates and Qatar founded in 1971 are having to cope with tr Uranus opposition their Neptune and conjunct Saturn this year and next which will be nerve-wracked and for both tr Uranus moves in to hard aspect their respective Sun in 2027/28 so a phase of major upsets. Qatar looks seriously aggravated and stuck in a conflict across 2030/31 with tr Pluto conjunct its Mars. UAE looks in meltdown come 2031/32 with its Solar Arc Pluto opposing its Saturn and conjunct Neptune.

 Relations between Qatar and Iran – undermined this year and under major pressure; tensions erupting in 2028 and more tussles for the upper hand. Qatar and Israel in a morass this year with a faint hope for improvement from August onwards; intense in 2027; worsening in the early 2030s.

 The UAE and Israel are at daggers drawn with hostilities rising in 2027/28;  and panicked in 2029.  USA/Iran – 2027 to 2031 increasing tensions.

  It is a volatile region and always has been, plus these countries individually have their own internal problems so some of the above astrology may refer to those. But there seems to be a pattern which certainly fits the Israel charts ongoing wrangles well into the 2030s.

  The pieces of the global chess board are shifting around dramatically with Ukraine signing a 10 year defence agreement with Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Ukraine has grown into one of the world’s leading producers of cutting-edge, battle-tested drone interceptors that are cheap and effective. In return Zelensky is seeking high-end air-defence missiles that Kyiv needs to counter Russia’s attacks. Last week Zelenskyy said that Ukraine was looking into whether it could play a role in restoring security in the strait of Hormuz. And he wants to build long-term ties with Middle Eastern countries in the energy sector, investment and sharing battlefield experience.

 The initial Ukraine Invasion Declaration chart from 23 February 2022 9pm will move into a new phase after an almighty upheaval come August this year onwards as tr Uranus is square the Sun.  Though the intense and destructive do-or-die challenges from the conjunction of Mars and Pluto won’t recede till well after mid 2027, once the Solar Arc Mars moves over the Pluto.

 The Ukraine chart, 24 August 1991 2.31pm Kyiv, will shift into a different gear as tr Uranus moves into Gemini in late April and squares the Virgo Sun. With hints from the recent February Aquarius and August Leo Solar Eclipses connecting with their Aquarius Moon opposition Jupiter, Mercury, Venus that there might be odd rays of sunshine through the continuing upset. Like all the ex-Soviet countries born during the triple conjunction in Capricorn, Ukraine will be facing major changes come 2028 onwards as tr Neptune moves to square their Uranus etc. So the aftermath will not be settled with a deadlock come 2031 from SA Pluto square Mars – but that may not be connected to this Russia standoff.

  Zelensky’s Term chart, 20 May 2019 10 am Kyiv, is in a rapidly changing year. Try Uranus is exactly conjunct the Sun at the moment till early April which suggests a new direction; with even more radical change from tr Pluto square the Uranus Venus in the second half of the year. The Mars is being undermined this year by tr Neptune through this October which suggest failure of one hope or project.

 Zelensky himself, 25 January 1978 2pm Krivoj Rog, Ukraine is rattled at the moment with tr Uranus square his Saturn till early April; followed by the highly pressured tr Pluto conjunct his Sun Venus now till late June and again into 2027.

The Ukraine/Saudi and Ukraine/Qatar relationship charts are volatile with a composite Mars square Pluto for one and Mars trine Saturn for the other – so well -suited to defence/military cooperation but for the same reason could be problematic if alliances swung in other directions. Both charts look to be on edge and highly charged through this year.

A public reckoning has arrived for big tech with two US juries finding they were liable for products that inflict harm on young people. A jury in New Mexico ordered Meta to pay $375m in damages on Tuesday over claims that its products led to child sexual exploitation, among other harms. The following day, a jury in California ordered Meta and YouTube to pay $6m over claims that both companies deliberately designed addictive products to hook young users.

These cases were the first to go to court and soon will be followed by more trials from two coordinated groups of more than 2,000 plaintiffs, including families, school districts and state attorneys general, who have brought lawsuits against Meta, parent company of Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp, YouTube, TikTok and Snap and Google, owner of YouTube,

‘With two unprecedented trial defeats, big tech firms face crisis akin to that faced by cigarette makers in the 1990s.’

  All of the relevant charts look to be facing major challenges ahead.

Meta, 28 October 2021, has a Scorpio Sun at 5 degrees square Saturn at 7 degrees which will be forced into a painful three year period of having to leave old practices behind with tr Pluto square the Sun this year and next; and then conjunct Saturn in 2027/28. 2028 also has a car-crash Solar Arc Mars conjunct Sun.

  The Facebook IPO, 18 May 2012 11.31 am New York, looks seriously rattled now with tr Uranus conjunct the Sun and nerve-stretched from June onwards with tranches of unwanted publicity as tr Uranus starts to square the Neptune and then the opposition to Mars, running on for several years. The Solar Arc Saturn is opposition the Midheaven at the moment as it is pulled up short and tr Pluto will take up the cudgels through 2027/2028 forcing a change of direction. With a moving yod of the natal Mars sextile Solar Arc Saturn inconjunct Uranus – so paralysed at what will be a game-changing period.

 Mark Zuckerburg, 14 May 1984 2.39 pm White Plains, New York, will feel as if he has been holed below the waterline with his Solar Arc Mars conjunct his 4^th house Neptune later this year and through 2027, giving him an unaccustomed sense of panicky failure. 2027 looks high uncertain and consumed with anxiety as his SA Neptune squares his Saturn; and 2028 will seem him in a total upheaval as his SA Pluto is conjunct his Uranus.

 Google, owner of Youtube, 4 September 1998, was facing an upset from the recent Aquarius Solar Eclipse opposing its Venus with Solar Arc Neptune approaching the opposition to its financial Venus as well within months. It will feel the cold winds of hardship and deprivation from tr Pluto square its Saturn, especially August to December this year; as well as a major upheaval from August on and off into 2027 from tr Uranus opposition its Pluto.

 Youtube, 14 February 2005, is in no better shape with a panicky/high anxiety Solar Arc Neptune conjunct Uranus now; the recent Eclipse conjunct its late Aquarius Sun Mercury for a crisis and forced changes. 2027 will have the panicky-failure tr Neptune square its Mars with a jolting tr Uranus square Uranus – and a hugely uncertain 2029 with SA Saturn opposition Neptune.

 My goodness, it is not often that all the related charts are so starkly clear that a watershed moment has arrived.  The new era is finally beginning to make its mark.

FROM CJ

1) Elon Musk’s Grok AI has now been banned in Germany and being fined 100k euros daily due to his digital sex abuse imagery he allows on X. I’m sure Musk can afford that, however, it’s setting up a precedent in the EU of countries turning and hinting at what is to come.

2) Disneyland has just cancelled their billion dollar deal with Sam Altman’s Open AI, and have now shut down Sora and people are beginning to wonder if the AI bubble is looming.

Also, after Open AI’s deal with the pentagon, it has reportedly lost around 1.5 million users.

3) France, Germany and Denmark are leading the way by ditching Bill Gate’s Microsoft for Linux operating systems due to concerns of privacy and data harvesting.

4) Peter Thiel and Alex Karp’s company, Palantir, is under deep scrutiny and being investigated by officials reviewing a Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) deal and looking at it’s dealings with the NHS.

The Green Party’s Zack Polansky has also been loud about removing Palantir out of our infrastructure and NHS.

ADD ON: Larry Ellison, 17 August 1944, current chairman of Oracle, in contrast looks upbeat now with his Solar Arc Jupiter square his Sun this year; and tr Uranus moving to square his Jupiter from the middle of this year into 2027. He does admittedly have his Solar Arc Mars opposition his Uranus across this year which suggests a shock; and minor career setbacks now and on and off till late 2027 plus a calamitous midpoint this May but he will be buffered by positive aspects.  Where his chart shows more obvious strain is in 2028/29 with tr Neptune square his Saturn but even then he has a Jupiterian boost to compensate. 2031 has his Solar Arc Saturn conjunct his Neptune which will be problematic.

 Oracle, 16 June 1977, is showing more signs of stress – with tr Pluto starting to hard aspect its Fixed T square of Mars Venus opposition Uranus square Saturn picking up in 2027 and running through till 2031/32. That suggests massive pressures to change causing hardship and frustration as well as turbulence. There may also be a jolt in 2027 from SA Mars conjunct the Sun.
