  1. SCOTUS ruled, 7-2, that Trump should turn his Tax Returns to NY investigators. I’m not surpriced of this vote not being even close, seemed the kind of thing “Liberals” and “Conservatives” whi value Rule of Law would see as a no brainer. But how this even became a case is a demonstration on US legislation lagging on financial transparency. I’ve had Corporate Lawyers tell me Delaware, in particular, now has laws making Switzerland seem champion of transparency. And guess where Trump Org is incorporated…

    • I’m not surprised Gorsuch joined Majority, but Kavanaugh stepping to the light is a telling. He has a lifetime appointment, but Trump has to re-elected. And something tells me Republicans don’t trust Trump being there to replace RBG.

        • He is literally the only POTUS and I think even major candidate since the 1960’s who didn’t make this information public to begin with. Given his NPD – now diagnosed by his qualified niece, who also thinks he has Antisocial Personality Disorder – we can safely assume these contain if not proof of criminal activity, information he finds embarrashing.

  2. Mary Kay Letourneau passed away on July 6.
    Born January 30 1962 at 17.15p.m., in Orange CA, althougb I also see Tustin, CA listed as place of birth.
    Any thoughts Marjorie? (I see she was born during that Aquarian Stellium which
    also produced the 1st gig the Beatles played in the Cavern Club with Ringo Starr on February 5 1962 @ 20.30p.m.,
    a couple of hours before a Solar Eclipse and King Abdullah 2 of Jordan born same day as MKL but at 5.23a.m., in Amman, Jordan.
    Also Eddie Izzard born on February 7 1962 @ 19.30p.m., in Aden, Yemen.

  3. Marjorie: Mary Kay Letourneau has just died at age 58 (second Saturn return?). Can you please comment on this? Thanks Gina

      • The astrology seems very evident here, tr Pluto is hovering in a tight square to the composite Sun in Aries and is conjunct the composite South Node in Capricorn, though I don’t exactly know how to interpret tr Pluto conjunct the South Node. They had a Venus/ North Node synastry connection. Fualaau’s BML was conjunct Letourneau’s Sun Venus conjunction in Aquarius. BML connections seem to show up very often in meaningful relationships. His Moon in Capricorn was close to her Mars (conjunct Saturn). Mars in Capricorn can mean being attracted to older men but it seems there was a role reversal going on here.

  4. Marjorie,

    Was just ruminating about how we saw a lot of stellar presence in Capricorn this year and last and how we have focussed on how hierarchies, ruled by Capricorn, are coming down, etc.

    But of course, Capricorn is opposite Cancer and we have seen a rise in nationalism across the globe, whether in the US, UK, Turkey, Brazil, India, China, you name it.

    As the stellar presence of the outer planets moves to Aquarius, how will that impact Leo, which I interpret as the sign of the ruling classes? Will that lead to an increase in the power of the ruling classes, as the opposition to Cancer led to an increase in nationalism?

  5. Evolution of English language – reading many articles about how English has to be quickly evolved to eliminate all words birthed from the slave era. I think the drive to introduce Newspeak is going way too far, along with closing all museums. Doubt there is an astrological trigger for this movement, tho perhaps in 100 yrs, it will be come clear as crystal. Thanks.

    • Every violent revolution leads to a corrective reaction within 10-15 years.

      15 years after the French revolution, Napoleon was Emperor.

      15 years after the Russian Revolution, Stalin led Russia and was far more cruel than most tsars were.

      This revolution is laying the seeds of its own destruction.

      • Unmystic Mom, with all due reapect, I think you are drawing some truly light comparisons here. I happen to have lived with a grandfather who was a teenager during a Civil War started by Russian Revolution his older brother fought. Also, live in a place with much of that history still present.

        To put it in perspective, I really don’t think you can compare the current situation to Russian Revolution before the day American Policemen start to murder their superiors. Because if you didn’t know this, it was how Russian Revolution got started. I live literally on site where officers escaping from Russian Baltic Fleet Headquarters, currently Ministry of Foreign Affairs, tried to escape by ice in March 1917. But hundreds were slaughtered, in my town, with population not much caring for Russians in a way or another (later, Reds would seek alliance with Revolutionary forces, Whites were lead by a former Imperial officer) looking on, in just a couple of days.

        • I think Unmystic Mum (why the moniker?) is right about the pendulum swing. Goes one way and then back. Though Martin Luther King was right about the long arch of history on the whole heading towards progress (mainly).

          • Well, yes. But then maybe going back to MLK days, 1964 or 1965 to be precise would be a better comparison. And then, one should take into account the “Conservative” backlash that took place in The US starting from the late 1970’s. In many ways, policies in the 1990’s US were more racially divisive than those that what were at least tried in the 1970’s. Same goes, and maybe even to a greater extend, with gender politics. You can see the difference there between developed countries where that “Conservative” backlash never took place and The US in particular simply by looking at women’s participation to job market, and most recently gender roles in family life. While Millenials seem to be making their own decisions, there is a notable difference in where women who entered jobmarket in the 1980’s or 1990’s have ended up.

            Comparing the current situation, where the worst thing that could happen to most people talking here is being socially shamed for having their prejudice exposed by a smart phone recording to Russian Revolution seems hyperbolic and is frankly disrespectful to people “on both sides” who fell victim of that madness in decades to come.

    • “I think the drive to introduce Newspeak is going way too far, along with closing all museums.”

      Say what? I just think it’s time for you Americans to become adults and face the dark sides of your history, which really hasn’t been done. I think this may, ultimately, lead to establishment of places such as Auschwitz Museum or Occupation Museums in Baltic States (and mind you, almost all Balts did collaborate with an occupier or another, and I admit some work needs to be still done dealing with the sad fact many Balts ended up snitching their Jewish neighbors).

      Colonialism in general was not dealt with adequately in the 1960’s, when it ended. It’s almost as if British especially used the “we beat Nazis” card to get away with practically having invented concentration camps as a part of their Colonial War.

      • Apparently, DJT’s niece Mary, whose book will now be published warly, does not hold back defining his uncle with Narcissistic and Antisocial Personality Disorders. Her assessment on the root cause being her namesake grandmother falling seriously ill when DJT was 2-year-old (I think after giving birth to DJT’s youngesr brother) and “caregiving” falling to Fred who had no interest in learning how to take care of a toddler. So, DJT was neglected and even abused as a young child, much more than his siblings even, who obviously were raised up in a toxic environment, too.

        This is very much like the scenario I gathered was behind this, because it played in my immediate family with the person who ended up with NPD, too.

      • I agree with Unmystic Mom, and Marjorie about the pendulum swing throughout history. It may not always be possible to directly measure or correlate occurrences in one period to another over any particular lengths of time, but there do seem to be recurring themes that continue to present themselves over time, in response to, or as result of other things that have happened before. Both Karma, and Newton’s Third law seem to model, and support this idea.

        I’ve also been thinking about how the pendulum swung over the course of the French revolution and how that may correlate with what is currently going on in, particularly in the U.S., as well. I’ll add to what Unmystic Mom said about Napoleon’s rise, and say that within the span of only one year, Robespierre went from being an egalitarian member of the revolution to becoming corrupted figure head of it, for which he was sent to the guillotine almost one year to the day after the start of the revolution. That would be an interesting chart to read if Marjorie would be interested in doing so? Maximilien de Robespierre 6 May 1758 Arras/Artois, Fr. These occurrences in part paved the way for Napoleon’s rise.
        I can see some overlap of this with the current trends toward excessive reliance on cancel culture as a means for change. I think there’s a time, and a place for cancel culture but that it’s certainly not a first step to take in order to promote change. The fact that it seems to be a kind of de facto method in some quarters, seems to speak to a certain degree of despair that people are feeling right now, but this to me seems to be like acting as though you are running the 1000m, when in reality you’ve signed on for a marathon. It seems best reserved for those whose character, and repeated actions truly deserve it.

        I think you hit the nail on the head here Solaia. Though there are no shortage of museums, history classes, or lack of access to information in the U.S., that kind of work has been done on any significant scale in the U.S. I recently learned that there are words in German (vergangenheitsaufarbeitung, and vergangenheitsbewältegung) which aside from being mouthfuls mean to do exactly that, “to do work to overcome the past.” The starkest difference is in how Germany has taken toward combating hate speech, holocaust denial, and disinformation. All of which the U.S. is currently failing. Neither country is doing particularly well with racism (of which slavery and Indigenous genocide are unique to the U.S., and the Americas in general) including bigotry towards immigrants. Here again the U.S. is doing significantly worse, no doubt again to not having done the work, let alone significant portions of the population still being in denial. And this is only comparing these two countries. I’m aware that there are worldwide trends, and problems, each somewhat unique to the place where it is occurring, and likely to the degree that there have been similar unpacking, and reckoning with past histories (or not).

        Hopefully that’s not too long of a reflection to share here, and that someone finds it useful for their own processing, and reflection.

        Marjorie, I’m wondering if you’d be willing to look at another chart as well?
        Jacques Ellul, 6 January 1912 Bordeaux, Fr. Lay theologian, philosopher, critic of technology, who helped a number of Jews escape the Nazis. Some of his critiques of technology may be helpful for us to understand where we currently stand in relation to technology, and how we might develop a healthier relationship to it.

        Thanks in advance if you choose to do so!

      • “I just think it’s time for you Americans to become adults and face the dark sides of your history,”

        I find this conclusion to be insulting and presumptive. You’ve lumped “all Americans” into the toilet bowl before you flushed. Maybe you don’t care who you categorize.

        Bad girl. Now you’re on the naughty list for Xmas.

    Ghislaine Maxwell, the confidant and ex-girlfriend of Jeffrey Epstein, was transferred to a New York federal prison on Monday following her arrest in New Hampshire last week.

    “Yes, she is in BOP custody at MDC Brooklyn. We decline to comment further,” the Federal Bureau of Prisons told Fox News.

    won’t be long now………………..
