Just watched 4 part documentary about Lisa Frank, “Glitter and Greed”. It was quite an eye opener as my son worked for her for about six months when she was in her downfall. Confirmed many things the documentary examined.
She’s no longer listed in AstroDatabank which she was when he got the job because I checked and his progressed moon was same as her natal Venus. Anyway, birthdate is April 21, 1955, Bloomfield, Michigan.
Just a couple of thoughts with Cancer full moon taking place
Apparently Meghan’s new TV series, which was due to launch on Jan 14th, has been postponed due to the wildfires. I recall Marjoirie saying it wasn’t going to be a good date for a launch due to the Pluto-Mars opposition.
And then today, Keir Starmer spent this morning announcing how Britain is intending to become a leader in AI. It appears he is desperately scrambling to find a source of growth.
My thought about H&M is they are postponing due to so much attention given to the wildfires that perhaps their series won’t get the attention they feel it deserves. I thought it was interesting they are being called “Disaster Tourists” and “Grief Vultures.” Remember her trip to Uvalde with photographers? Perhaps postponing to add the LA footage to the new series?
I’m not a fan of theirs at all, but this might be a case of damned if they do, damned if they don’t? It’s hard to tell.
“Disaster tourists” is a bit cheeky as Meghan is an LA girl, born and bred.
Yes she’s from LA but what did she bring to the situation? How does her presence alone and her hugs help anyone? The fire is still burning and she stands around getting snapshots and film of her and Harry. She’s also the one who alerted the press. Why did they need to “tour” the damage? She left the Royal family. She swooped in at Grenfell too. Why not send a nice check and stop making it about her? It’s “me,me, me, what do you think about me?” IMHO
I agree. Self serving. Both of them are. But then their timing has always been off. The hug looked so insincere. Meg drips hollywood fakery. It would never wash with the British public. Completely jarring.
Forgive the cynicism, but all that ‘performance hugging’ looks devoid of any sincerity to me.
Fergie, Duchess of York, used to do that and it was irksome – no disaster in the world too horrific but she needed to be in the centre of it, bringing succour to the victims. It’s an oddly narcissistic addiction to attention.
Agree, Marjorie.
To be fair, it may not as desperate as it may sound. As the mathematician Clive Humby said “Data is the new oil”. Thanks to the NHS the UK has one of the richest, most diverse health data sets in the world (I can’t think of a bigger one). That’s one of the most obvious uses.
NHS data could be used in anonymised ways, respecting privacy while providing insights that would otherwise take decades to gather through clinical trials. These breakthroughs could spur huge economic growth, developing and deploying cutting-edge solutions. There are still world class universities and a strong biotech and pharmaceutical industry in the UK, which makes this fertile ground for innovation and opportunity.
There are also many other industries that could be boosted – manufacturing, energy, education, finance. As a small country with hardly any natural resources, this is exactly the sort of thing they should be focussed on, surely? Could align well with Starmer’s Sun Pluto in Virgo and the current Pluto in Aquarius.
It did occur to me that it might be a stroke of luck of picking the right thing at the right time especially as AI seems to be the initial signature theme of Pluto in Aqua.
I didn’t watch any of the presser, just read a few quotes on the livestream which all sounded rather like the sort of thing Boris would have been saying a few years ago – “world leader in AI”.
Nonetheless it can also be true that Keir is desperately scrabbling round. Before Christmas he was going to ask the utility/energy companies for ideas.
I just note the launch data is on the Cancer full moon. Interesting set of aspects.
Interesting too that Starmer was born just over one year before future Labour PM Harold Wilson’s famous “white heat of technology” conference speech on 1 October, 1963. The speech had Mars 12 Scorpio conjunct Neptune 14 Scorpio – Starmer’s Neptune is 11 Scorpio. His Sun/Pluto in Virgo is close to the speech day’s Pluto 12 Virgo, and Uranus 7 Virgo.
“If the speech was rapturously received by Wilson’s contemporaries, most historians have taken a rather more sceptical view. After winning the 1964 general election Wilson did keep his promise to establish a dedicated Ministry of (Education and) Science, but his government failed to deliver the scientific national renewal that the Scarborough speech had promised, and was in fact responsible for scrapping several high-profile technology projects.” Guardian, September 2013
Better luck this time around perhaps. I agree with Tara that we have strong biotech and pharmaceuticals industries here. Be nice to see science supported and encouraged right across the board really. Not just AI.
Lovely historical callback there Jane. It’s almost like science and politics are incompatible, perhaps because science is rational and long lead times to produce results. Whereas politics is rabble-rousing and firing up the emotion and doing things which win votes in the short term.
It’s of note that sciences like maths/economics over the past 20years seems to have moved towards research and papers which are less theoretical/abstract and more appealing probably because it’s easier to get funding for. I saw yesterday that Hannah Fry has just been appointed as Professor of “Public Understanding of Mathematics” at Cambridge.
Re the Meghan and Harry LA visit – they could always emulate the low-key, serious example of Sophie, Countess of Wessex, who volunteered in a number of meaningful, helpful ways during the Covid Pandemic. She did not seek publicity for any of it.
Marjorie, Hugh Jackman and fellow dancer/Broadway star Sutton Foster went public with their romance on a date in Santa Monica on 6 Jan. It looks like the date squares his chiron, suggesting some pain? But with a north node in Aries, it looks like he might be finally putting his wishes first. Any insight welcome.
Hello Marjorie, I am changing my ‘Name’ to AC as I see someone has just posted a bizarre comment on Marine Le Pen under what was my name ‘anna’ all small caps and I do not want to be associated with the commenter. Thanks
I switched my name to lower case, ages ago now, when another Tara appeared – hasn’t been back though! It happens from time to time I guess.
ah good to hear it isn’t just me
What is going on with Mark Zuckerberg’s sudden total about-face on safety, truth & liberal policies, and sucking up to Trump. I assume it’s a desire for more money & power? Possibly he’s seeing Musk and wants that influence for himself? Will this new direction be successful for him? It seems so totally disingenuous.
@Belle, no, this is who Mark Zuckerberg has always been. Somehow, he manages to keep his opinions under a lid for years, enough for some people to think he is “liberal”.
As for his relationship with Trump, I remembered a post from Marjorie from 2020, the height of BLM movement, touching Trump / Zuckerberg dynamics:
“Do you think he’s directly responding to the threats that you have made to him in the past?” the reporter asked.
“Probably,” Trump replied.
Meta’s new policy changes comes as Trump prepares to return to the White House and make good on the threats he’s been making to Zuckerberg for months.
“We are watching him closely, and if he does anything illegal this time he will spend the rest of his life in prison—as will others who cheat in the 2024 Presidential Election,” Trump wrote in his book Save America, which was published in August.
Marjorie, there are many celebrities who have lost their houses in the horrible fires in Los Angeles. Their birth charts will be available publicly and so I wondered if they show the astrology of these shocking events so we can study what transits occurred at this time?
I was pondering on Anthony Hopkins chart with a stressed SA Moon. Will have a look round some others tomorrow
Thank you, I look forward to reading what you find.
I read that this is Anthony Hopkins’ second house to burn down, with his London house burning down in 2000 and another house, in Woolsery, Devon, coming close to burning down in 2018 (the fire got as close as his next door neighbour’s house there).
What astrological signature would suggest attracting destruction by fire? Would one look at just the natal charts in such a case or at the relocated charts too? Do we look at the fourth House in each of the above charts? Or would one look at Cancer specifically as the “natural” fourth House?
Marjorie would you pls have a look at Rupert Lowe tipped to take over from Farage?
Great planetary alignment on 21 Jan 2025. There were also a few other dates between Jan and Feb. So any other things that I need to worry about on top of the current world we lived in?
Callie S , not sure Marjorie is going to add to your list of things to worry about. 🙂
Worrying about things out of your control can only make you sick which will then cause your family to worry about you. Keep strong and everything will work out how it should.
Interested in insights into Italian photographer/photojournalist Letizia Battaglia’s chart. Born 5th March 1935 in Palermo, died 13th April 2022. I can’t find a birth time unfortunately. She spent her entire career documenting Sicilian life and the effect the Mafia had on society. Sounded like an amazing woman
I reread the post about Canada. Does astrology indicate that Canada will indeed become part of the US? Thanks.
No.
Aren’t they part of the King’s Commonwealth anyway?
I feel stupid for asking about the bird, but what species is it? Lovely creature though!
I feel stupid for asking about the bird, but what species is it? Lovely creature though!
Also could you read on Canada’s Governor General? Fir some reason the King is getting blamed for her support of Trudeau. I have tried explaining to oeople that the Monarch has no say about the selection of the Governor General. I expect Trudeau chose her himself.
Some even think The King might be trying to put Prince Harry in her place. I don’t think anyone is that stupid! But some people need convincing.
The Governor General is appointed by the British monarch on the advice of Canada’s Prime Minister. (and, I would think, much discussion with others).
So, unless the PM wants to have Prince Harry in that position!!!, the King cannot simply decide for himself who gets the job! 🙂
Great Spotted Woodpecker – I have one visits my garden. Well it maybe several but they only come one at a time.
Absolutely beautiful bird, thank yo !
Apparently Trump plans to announce a “national economic emergency” to impose his tariff scheme.
Indira Gandhi had declared a state of emergency in India that was in effect from 25 June 1975 and ended on 21 March 1977, mainly to extend her own term of office. In the election that followed in 1977, she was soundly defeated.
Are there parallels between Indira Gandhi and Trump?
I feel he is using shock-and-awe tactics. “Only __I__ can solve these problems…” Another wrote herein another post, “megalomaniac”.
Fraid not – she was v Scorpio
@Marjorie, she was a Leo rising, though, just like DJT. Assassinated by her own Sikh bodyguards, who wear orange turbans, over a Golden Temple. This was one of the events that ignited my interest for geopolitics, I remember my 8-year-old self consulting our family’s Great Enciclopedia from 1963 on the Sikh religion after the fact (this enciclopedia still remains a great source on lives of the 17th and the 18th century Swedish politicians and scientists, article writers were top notch in their fields).
I hadn’t realized she was born just 12 days from October Revolution, though, making her chart truly a sight to behold, and maybe making her demise an early sign of what would come of Soviet Union.
“she was born just 12 days from October Revolution”
I didn’t know that. That explains why she got along so well with the Soviet Union. Some children in the Soviet Union were even named “Indira” in her honour>
Thank you for your continuing insights into the people and events shaping our world.
I know this may be a lost cause, but can ordinary people look forward to anything positive in the next two to four years? At the moment, it appears Pluto in Aquarius will be even worse than his transit through Capricorn. It’s depressing as hell.
Not just in two to four years. Jupiter in Gemini is doing its best to counter balance Saturnine glooms. Part of the problem nowadays is the media who sensationalise everything to a ludicrous degree – everything is brutal, savage, outrageous, when the truth is we have all lived through much worse in the past and come sailing through. This too will pass and we will all survive to chuckle through another day.
Given Gemini’s association with journalism, do you think Uranus when enters it we will see a positive change to journalism?
Perhaps things will improve once Pluto leaves the 1801 British Charts 4th house? It does appear to exposing the hidden problems that have been bubbling beneath the surface, especially to do with groups.
If Pluto is heading for the UK’s fifth house, of among other things children and entertainment, I’ll guess that the birth rate will fall even further (I think last year was the first year when there were more deaths than births in the UK) and that entertainment (movies, cinemas, etc) will be censored/regulated.
@Unmystic Mom, I think censorship is Saturnian, rather than Plutonian. Pluto is psychology/psychoanalysis. I’d say this will bring forth even greater attention to psychological wellbeing of children. In art and entertainment, we’ll see more introspective work.
Thank you for your hopeful comment Marjorie. I think you are spot on about the media (all media! Social, mainstream etc.) making a mess of things.
I was going to ask when the foolishness would stop—if “journalists” actually behaved seriously the information floating around wouldn’t be so idiotic (I’m a retired teacher-the current crop of “News” “reporters” remind me of middle school kids gossiping & playing grown up-but also just playing. I find it tiresome.)
Will it ever end?

I’m just learning astrology now and I really love this site!
I was noticing that there seem to be many aspects/transits coming up this year that were also present in the 1988/1989 time
frame. The nodes in Pisces/Virgo, Saturn conjunct Neptune, Jupiter transiting Gemini. Also in 1988 both Venus and Mars went retrograde. Saturn and Uranus were conjunct in 1988 and this year they are making a sextile aspect.
Is it possible that these aspects will bring events from that timeframe into consideration again? If so would that be on a personal level, or more of a collective such as international events?
Thanks so much!
And also the eclipses are on the same Saros cycle (which repeat every 18 years and 11-13 days). So the eclipses this year will echo the ones from 1989 and 2007.
Just to clarify, astronomically, eclipses occur when the Sun and Moon are conjunct the Nodes. So the eclipses will occur in the same sign as the Nodes.
Have you noticed events from 1988/1989 or 2007 coming back up in your life? Career was big for me at both times and I’m curious to see what will happen now 🙂
In my case, it was house moves in both those years. And I am not wildly keen on another one, as I feel settled in my current house. Both former house moves were caused by family dynamics, so I don’t know if that will play out again this year.
Some may be similar but the 1989 triple conjunction was the major whammy which is not around now except in a very dilute form.
Thank you so very much for your insight, Marjorie 🙂
