  1. Have been looking for birth info on Leonard Leo since he seems to be a mover and shaker enabling far right wing throne. All I can find is Nov 1965. It would be great to get some insight on him

    • Agreed. Seems odd that no one has dug out the public records. In the UK I would do a company check which might help but not sure how it works in the USA

  2. Today, a huge bombshell was dropped when Jack Smith’s filings were unsealed and released to the public.

    The documents were pretty damning and incriminating too. Apparently, there was evidence that Donald Trump knew about the planned insurrection and he was quoted something along the lines of saying that he wanted “riots” and “violence.”

    Other documents showed that Mike Pence habitually tried to convince Trump into accepting his election loss to Joe Biden.

    Anyway, Donald Trump has been on social media today and he is literally in total panic mode. Trump has been having one meltdown after another and now even some corporate-owned mainstream news media outlets (which has been too soft on him) are calling for Donald Trump to dropout of the race.

    This was a pleasant much needed “October Surprise” and this story isn’t going away anytime soon.

    Anyway, one astrologer predicted things will only get worse for Trump between November 3rd and November 10th. She didn’t elaborate so I was wondering if Marjorie or anyone else here on this forum might have insight to such a prediction.

    • Tr Uranus is back squaring his Mars in Leo – which is a massive jolt and insecure-making tending to provoke over reactions.

  3. Marjorie,

    It’s being reported that the small industrial Ukrainian town of Vuhledar fell to Russian forces today (Oct. 1) as the Ukrainian Military decided to withdraw.

    Since I’m not an expert in Military science, I have no idea if this setback changes the trajectory of the war in Ukraine.

    I do know that the small town of Vuhledar has been discussed for months now by various war bloggers, war studies academics, and geopolitical experts. So, I’m assuming Vuhleadar may have been a strategic location of importance.

    Astrologically, is there anything you might be able to add this?

  4. Pete Rose, Dikembe Mutuombo have also passed away in the last few days. Is this also Neptune working? Both left major marks on their sport though Pete rose was outcasted.

  5. Marjorie,

    I was wondering if you could do an astrological comparison between Syria and Ukraine. I noticed that many Syrians and Ukrainians on social media and in real life have been promoting each other’s cause. I’m sure this because both nations are currently facing the same adversary: which would be the Russian Federation.

    On Facebook and Twitter / X, videos and photographs of Ukrainians and Syrians (in their home countries and in diaspora) celebrating with dance, music, and food over the death of Hezbollah leader Hasan Nasrallah. Ukrainians were posting photos of the Syrian opposition flag while Syrians were posting sunflowers and Ukraine flag emojis.

    Even here in Jacksonville, Florida (where we have the 10th largest Arab-American community in the U.S.; including a Syrian-American Mayor) many members of the Syrian community have sported Ukraine flag bumper stickers on their cars and have hung Ukrainian flags next to Syrian opposition flags from their houses. The Ukrainian community (which is highly visible, but still smaller than the Arab community here) has done the same thing.

    Astrologically speaking, do you see any similarities between Syria and Ukraine? I’m just curious.

  6. Another Neptune exit strike – Kris Kristoffersson. This one is there for me with Leonard Cohen and eventual Bob Dylan passing, because I loved his lyrics. With Kristofferson though I loved his lines before I knew they were his.

  7. Can you look at the chart of James Clevery (born 4th Sept 1969 in Lewisham, no time of birth.

    It’s just that transiting Jupiter is at 21 Gemini. Depending on time of birth, it might be conjunct his Moon. He also has Mars at 20 Sag.

    Also Robert Jenrick (9th Jan 1982, Wolverhampton) and Kemi Badenoch (2nd Jan 1980, Wimbledon) look like they might be Full Moon people.

    To my untutored eye, Cleverly has the most promising chart.

  8. You might turn out to have been right once again – this time, Marjorie, for your thesis that a natural catastrophe portends some larger shift in a country and its society.

    Austria is voting.

    The main contenders are:

    1. Karl Nehammer, 18 October 1972, Vienna Austria
    2. Andreas ‘Andi’ Babler, 25 February 1973, Mödling, Austria
    3. Herbert Kickl, 19 October 1968, Villach, Austria – the one to watch and, lo and behold, another Sun conjunct Pluto in Virgo.

  9. Hi Marjorie,

    I don’t know if you do astrocartography, but wondering about Wuhan, China, first with Covid and recently the nuclear sub sinking in their harbor. Seems very plutonian or maybe neptunian.

    Thanks!

  10. Marjorie just noticed an article in US Smithsonian magazine — that this year is 250th anniversary of First Continental Congress (start of our independence process). Next year 2025 is 250th anniversary of our Second Continental Congress which produced the Declaration of Independence. Also the first fighting at Lexington and Concord. These events have massive deep meaning to American independence. Given the fraught politics here and now as well as the eclipses coming – do you have any comments about our (US) governmental/ legal changes. So far you seem to indicate some uncertain period until next major election in Four years.

  11. Hi, as a counter to the ongoing political turmoil of recent years, would it be possible to look at the parkrun chart – its a community based 5km run race organised by volunteers, with events held every Saturday across the World. It’s probably one of the biggest mass participants sport events globally and celebrates its 20th birthdays on 2nd Oct. Not sure of the exact start time of the first race but traditionally they start at 9am on Saturdays in the UK. First race was held in Bushy Park (Kingston-upon-Thames). Thanks

  12. Hassan Nasrallah’s death on Friday in Beirut has been officially confirmed. Marjorie writes in August 2024:

    “Hezbollah’s relationship with Israel has a composite Sun catching this October’s Solar Eclipse exactly in opposition which points to a crisis. With more disruptions late December to mid March 2025 when tr Uranus is conjunct the composite Venus at the same time as tr Uranus is conjunct the Israel’s 8th house Sun.”

    I noticed that Lebanon 1943 (Book of World Horoscopes) has Venus 12 Libra, a potentially excitable Venus trine Uranus 7 Gemini, and Mars 17 Gemini.
    Iran’s Massoud Pezeshkian’s term, 30 July 2024, has the Nodes at 8 Aries/Libra – plus resonates with our current atmosphere of Uranus/Algol, Neptune/Scheat. Prompts questions about Iran’s population, as well as it’s direction.
    Hezbollah’s chart has Mars 10 Aries, Venus 11 Aries – catching this imminent eclipse, and the Aries one next spring.
    There are probably more sensitive eclipse degrees to be found too, for both the Lunar and Solar eclipses this autumn and in spring 2025. Impossible to comment on this volatile situation really, apart from generalised despair about humanity……

  13. 30th October is Budget day. It would be interesting to look at the chart for this day. Algol was prominent in the July Election. Will it be prominent with the Budget as well?

    • Horrible frankly. Mars in late Cancer opposition Pluto almost exact – enraging and stuck. Sextile/trine Neptune Scheat and Uranus Algol. Brings all the winter’s nasties together.

  14. Marjorie,

    You have already covered the solar eclipse on 2nd October.

    But I just noticed that the path of that eclipse gives over Chile and Argentina and partially covers the Falkland Islands.

    Any thoughts on house the eclipse would affect those regions?

    Also, the solar eclipse of 29th March next year may be the one to watch as it will be visible in both Ottawa, most of New England and New York and (just barely) Washington DC. Would you (or indeed others) have thoughts on that eclipse?

    • Every time these eclipses come on, and I am reminded of them here, because they here seem to have a huge following (elsewhere I see people who say they “don’t work”), I am reminded of so many things I need to “compartmentalize” regarding them, such as do just conjunctions, oppositions, and square to them from a natal chart matter, if they are not visible in a part of the world, do they have an effect, how long does their effect last – if the obscurations is e.g. 6 minutes, is that 6 days, 6 weeks, 6 months, or maybe even years? So many facets.

      • My moon is sort of those duo planets on its own so I don’t feel eclipse that much on a personal basis. But I like reading this site and the comments for the world events which I am powerless to change but their ripple effects are getting felt more and more in my corner of the world. Guess that is the price of globalisation. And now we are having deglobalisation.

        • Maybe also the rule of three needs to apply. If only one transit, solar arc, or progression actives a point, then that might not mean much.

          It would maybe also be interesting, but at the same time overwhelming, to see what the Vedic astrology says about this nakshatra, because, I’ve just read, it will be in Hasta nakshatra, and Hasta nakshatra “is associated with skillfulness, craftsmanship, and the ability to manifest desires. It is represented by a closed fist or a hand.” So (the power of) manifestation will be one of the themes of this one.

          Elsewhere I think I’ve read Vedic advice not to be exposed to the light of the eclipse, not to eat food then or maybe not to have it exposed to the light or both, and I think to take a shower after it has passed, to wash over the possible negative energies.

          • Vedic will generate a different chart from placidus. From a sun aries I will become a sun pisces under vedic. So that means the coming eclipse won’t affect me.
            Washing away the negative energies are good. Do I need to add bay leaf for extra purification and to ward off evil?

  15. Thanks Marjorie.
    If Nasrallah’s daughter’s death is confirmed I don’t know if it’s relevant to your astrology on him.
    Still no news on Nasrallah.

    “Zainab Nasrallah, daughter of Hezbollah leader, reportedly killed in Beirut strike
    If confirmed, Zainab’s death could have significant symbolic implications for Hezbollah, potentially influencing the group’s response to the escalating conflict with Israel.”

  16. Marjorie, an update on your 9/25 post.

    Today’s news about Nasarrah

    Waiting to see if Israel succeeded in assassinating Nasrallah.
    Earlier today they bombed what is said to be Hezbollah Headquarters and flattened 4-6 residential buildings.
    Residents were killed and injured.
    Israel is assuming they did but there is no word from Hezbollah.

    Sept. 25 snip

    ” Hassan Nasrallah, 31 August 1960, the Hezbollah leader, an unyielding and ambitious Sun Pluto in Virgo trine Saturn in Capricorn, sextile Neptune, is powering ahead till late this year with some wins in 2025 but probably more losses”

    • Genuinely asking for anyone that can help as I’m just getting into astrology… but does this mean he’s dead even though the charts saying he’s powering through 2025?
      Could they just be his disciples powering on if he is dead?

      • The chart won’t tell you about death and in some odd way continues on. I’ll have another look tomorrow. His transits seemed OK till late November but did not look good next year. But that is not cut and dried.

      • If you go back a few days on this site, there was a post and discussion about Vincent Van Gogh (who is very definitely dead) and how his birth chart synced with a recent exhibition of his art.

        Use the search function at the top right corner to search for him.

        It has been argued that charts of people have resonance even after they are dead.

      • There is a quote which said “you have two death, one physical and the next one when someone last said your name.”
        So chart do “live” on and in synastry the person’s impact.

    • Not to my knowledge but it is possible. Interesting idea. The birth chart of the child will coincide with the influences affecting the parents’ relationship at that point.

      • I guessed, too, that when one parent was “out of range”, either through distance or estrangement, there would be the primary influence of the relationship between the proximal parent and the child.
