  1. Marjorie, re the current Mars opposition Pluto continuing over 6 months, I was wondering, has there ever been such a long period of Mars opposition Pluto before, and if so, were there repercussions historically for the generation born during those months ?

    • So, I, my grand mother, and her younger brother are all October 1st births like Jimmy Carter. My great uncle was born the very same day in 1924. Unfortunately, his life was cut short due to tuberculosis after WWII. However, I think he had significant common ground with Carter through having a technical mind and also service minded religious/spiritual upbringing. It’s also uncanny that Jimmy Carter was from a small community of 600 or so people – this is the background for my grandmother and her brother, too.

  2. Looks like there is an internal War now with MAGA. The Tech-Bros versus the White AntiImmigrant faction. Some of the TechBro arrogance is not a good look for them. Marjorie – wondering how you could even get your hands around the astrology of this? Laura Loomer versus Elon as well. It is going to be an interesting year. I have been news free since last Monday – dipping my toe in the water today. Much calmer being news free – so I don’t know how far in I will go.

    • @ Newbie,

      These are good questions. Personally, I’m glad the Republicans are disorganized and fighting among themselves. The more division the better – it might stymie them from enacting Project 2025 and other horrible ideas on their fascist checklist.

    • Would be useful from someone knowledgable on the astro-antics of the falling out of thieves.

      @Newbie – thanks for the update. Glancing over the headlines, seems it was bound to happen. Too many cooks (kooks?) in the kitchen of MAGA love.

    • @Newbie, Elon Musk is having a very public bipolar crash after mania as we speak. Telling people they should post more positive things on X. I think he has never listed this as one of his neurological/psychological issues, but he has mentioned depression he “cures” with ketamine. I think this is actually him leaving a manic phase.

  3. Would be interested to hear your take on former Indian prime minister Manmohan Singh who died Thursday aged 92.

    Reading the BBC article he sounds like a very interesting character, described by his daughter as helpless around the house, couldn’t boil an egg or switch on the TV and seems to have become India’s PM by accident yet transformed them … “https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cyrrd4nlr0yo”

  4. Hi Marjorie,

    I haven’t been reading or watching the news about Donald Trump or U.S. politics for the past 2 months because: 1. I don’t need anymore anxiety or stress in my life and 2. I find the whole MAGA clown show exhausting, boring, and endlessly irritating.

    However, there was one news story that managed to capture attention while I was looking for updates about Syria and Ukraine.

    Apparently, Donald Trump has been running his big, loud, obnoxious mouth (which is nothing new, of course) and telling his supporters that the U.S. should retake the Panama Canal and Greenland for “national security” purposes.

    Trump’s arrogant comments have, unsurprisingly, caused alarm and outrage in Panama, Greenland, and Denmark.

    Panamanians have no desire to go back to the days of being subservient to the White “Gringos” of Anglophone America and Greenland is already facing its own dilemma as to whether or not to seek self-determination or remain under the rule of Denmark.

    Astrologically, how do things look for the Panama Canal and Greenland in the upcoming years? How does Donald Trump’s relationship look with these 2 polities?

    • @Chris Romero, it’s painfully obvious those Panama posts are NOT written by DJT, or even his trusty typist Dan Scalise. While Trump undoubtedly hates Panama for ceasing his tower, the posts have Stephen Miller tone.

      While certainly not “reassuring”, this does tell a lot about the incoming chaos, as does the fact DOGE guys are now feuding with the OG MAGA influencers on who exactly should be accepted in the US. Elon Musk has spent the last 24 hours personally administering X, especially Laura Loomer’s account. You WOULD think the founder and Chairman of the Board of several multibillion dollar companies had better things to do December 27th. But no, this is where we are with this manchild.

  5. A side note but with humor: the news surrounding Trump and his Day 1 activities are becoming more and more humorous. Forcing Panama to take a knee to Prez Trump and the US, massive deportations of immigrants (illegal invaders), curing world hunger, closing the US order with Mexico…and Canada (of course, if Canada becomes the 51 state…contrary to Puerto Rics).

    I can only shake my head with amazement and smiles. Go for it, bro’.

    • It is very much the way of megalomaniacs – a word that seems to have been lost. A success can never be enough, they have to find new things to conquer. And the more it becomes the norm, the more outrageous they have to be to achieve the attention they desperately need.

      Hope you’re well Larry – always enjoy our interactions through the year.

    • @larryc, I read on Daily Kos that he has outstanding taxes and unpaid judgements in Panama, a result of his shifty business dealings and another failed hotel, the likely reason for his campaign against Panama. Surprise, surprise! It’s all about the grifting.

      • @Nicole Sour Larson, administrator of Trump Tower Panama City acting on behalf of the majority owner playing grand piano at the lobby may be my single favourite “Resist” character.

  6. A historical mystery:

    On 30 June 1550, Mary Tudor (Henry VIII’s eldest daughter), nearly fled for Spain.

    Mary moved her household to Woodham Walter, two miles from the shoreline of the Blackwater Estury. Three Imperial Spanish warships approached. A man called Dubois rowed ashore to fetch her.

    She unexpectedly changed her mind and refused to go. After arguing with her, Dubois returned to the warships which left without her.

    It’s believed she was persuaded to stay by a member of her staff, who told her that they had cast the horoscope of her brother the king (Edward VI), and it indicated he would soon be dead. Despite him being a healthy teen who looked like he might reign for 40 years.

    Edward died unexpectedly three years later, after catching pneumonia (they had no antibiotics back then).

    What I want to know is, what was in the chart that indicated Edward was in peril?

    P.S. Edward VI’s death and Mary’s ascension to the throne take place on England’s Pluto return.

    P.P.S. If Mary had fled to Spain, she’d never have become Queen. Either Elizabeth would have been crowned, or Northumberland’s plot to crown Lady Jane Grey would have succeeded.

  7. Marjorie have you previously done John Maynard Keynes chart? I wondered how this would be different in terms of Rachel Reeves chart. Or the comparison of. I read today he had a huge respect for Isaac Newton and purchased some of Newton’s library. A well read man!

  8. It is Chrismukkah. And, of course, searches for Seth Cohen (Adam Brody) from The O. C. seem to have shot up. I bumped onto an article on ScreenRant.com how he find his whole career resurgence “f-king ridiculous”. So I was wondering is there anything in his transits indicating this moment of glory?
