Just when you thought how can it get worse, there’s your answer: bribes are O.K. and will kickstart American business.
Something to cheer us up, a photo of the King and Angela Rayner in a very becoming olive coat, the King’s face is a picture of many interpretations, amusement, etc. her face is totally oblivious of his gaze.
Hi, I noticed the heavenly headlines still show January, it’s something I like to read. Just wondering if it’s no longer being updated?
My bad – life a touch scrambled. Will be updated tomorrow. Thanks for the nudge
Hi Marjorie, Is there any way your site can prevent people signing up with a name that’s already in use? Looks like I’ll have to change mine as there are two ‘Trish’s using this site! Thanks.
You can add an initial if you want. I had the same issue and did just that. Problem solved. Person has since disappeared but I kept the E
Question (put here because the US thread is bursting): Marjorie, did you do a reading on US Treasury somewhere in the past couple of weeks? I can’t find anything with “search”… It’s interesting because of the following piece of, that was commented by Paul Krugman on Bluesky in a way an average college graduate or any avid reader will understand. It seems like Trump is ready to default some of the US debt:
Hi See
USA 2025 – a Cancerian moment of truth
15th December 2024
Federal Reserve chart is under extreme stress and meltdown as tr Neptune moves into Aries.
Thank you! This is different chart though. Even the Revolutionary war was financed by equivalent of Treasury Bonds, and the US Treasury was established in September 2nd, 1789. The treasury bonds are interesting in exactly that they are such “old timey” financial tools that they played a role during the last Pluto in Aquarius. For instance, Swedish Crown, which was at war with Russia, created National Debt Office to finance a war against Russia also in 1789, likely in Winter-early Spring due to it having been inaugurated with Riksdag, and this is when they usually gathered. The war ended with status quo, but led to inflation and near bankruptcy of the Crown, and later to assassination of Gustav III. We are obviously still quite a long way from the 1789 Pluto Return, but I think I’ll look at this out of curiosity.
Aah not really my area. Thanks. Will do a write up tomorrow. Guy in charge is a pro-Trump hedge fund type. He’s not looking happy through 2025 for sure. and the treasury chart is completely road blocked in 2026 and on.
Hi Marjorie,
Sandie Peggie Vs NHS Fife. Can you predict where this case is headed to?
Thanks
Ann
Sorry no dates
Marjorie,
You’ve probably seen that there is a piece in The Financial Times about Peter Mandelson – could you take a look at his fortunes, his astrocartography in Washington (don’t know if therr’s a birth time), and his relationships with Trump, Keir, and maybe Angela (who might be Labour’s next chief).
I am beginning understand your stance on the rants, Marjorie. The few that have managed to have come through have left me quite stressed myself. Please everyone, chill out, the World hasn’t ended.
Yesterday, regarding the psyche of Trump, I bumped onto an article/interview in the Scientific American with Bandy X. Lee, a forensic psychiatrist, and in one reply to a question she mentions two interesting psychological phenomena, narcissistic symbiosis and shared psychosis:
“The reasons are multiple and varied, but in my recent public-service book, Profile of a Nation, I have outlined two major emotional drives: narcissistic symbiosis and shared psychosis. Narcissistic symbiosis refers to the developmental wounds that make the leader-follower relationship magnetically attractive. The leader, hungry for adulation to compensate for an inner lack of self-worth, projects grandiose omnipotence—while the followers, rendered needy by societal stress or developmental injury, yearn for a parental figure. When such wounded individuals are given positions of power, they arouse similar pathology in the population that creates a “lock and key” relationship.
“Shared psychosis”—which is also called “folie à millions” [“madness for millions”] when occurring at the national level or “induced delusions”—refers to the infectiousness of severe symptoms that goes beyond ordinary group psychology. When a highly symptomatic individual is placed in an influential position, the person’s symptoms can spread through the population through emotional bonds, heightening existing pathologies and inducing delusions, paranoia and propensity for violence—even in previously healthy individuals. The treatment is removal of exposure.”
How true or not is left to the reader, but it is intriguing to find out about stuff that exists in human psychology.
Thanks El Aznar
Sounds about right to me. The descriptions perfectly fit.
That’s very interesting EA. I’ve read about ‘collective narcissism’ before and the wiki article on the topic is worth reading. Collective narcissism is connected also to ethnocentrism – the idea that one’s culture, customs, language is superior to any orther. Sam Vaknin writes well about the subject too in his book, ‘Malignant Narcissism Revisisted’. I think you’re right that there’s also a collective yearning for a golden father figure from those wounded or abandoned by their own fathers or mothers. Astrologer Liz Greene (the name of the book escapes me) talks about Hitler’s 8th house Pluto/Neptune conjunction and 12th house Uranus, how he was able to channel and give voice to the collective shadow, for example in his performance at rallies where he appeared to be fed by the crowds’ infantile longing for a strong, steadfast father figure as well as their supremacist fantasies.
Have you read any of Ken Wilber’s Integral Theory, virgoflake? You triggered a memory for me when you mentioned ethnocentrism.
In Ken’s studies he mentioned how consciousness displays itself as it evolves in stages throughout humanity (and individually of course). Also, groups of people can be at different levels of learning to each other in any time period. A crude break down of his levels were;
1 – ARCHAIC – Has a worldview where it just needs to survive the elements. The baby.
2 – MAGICAL – Began about 50,000 years ago. This is when shamanic/animatic cultures emerged. Awareness of something beyond us. Childhood play and wonder.
3 – EGO – Emerged about 10,000 years ago where aggression and an interest in power attitudes impacted and drove cultures. Child emerging into its identity.
4 – MYTHIC – Emerged about 5,000 years ago. Much more group orientated. Can be seen in fundamental religious cultures. Very ethnocentrism or nation centric. This is where a substantial number of Americans are. Teen finding it’s own tribe.
5 – RATIONAL – Emerged about 500 years ago. Has a multiplistic view. Starts to move away from ethnocentric views and incorporate other realities to learn from. Democracy would come under this stage. College/university level adult thinking.
6 – PLURALISTIC – Emerged about 150 years but came into real affect in the 1960’s. Values human relationships and able to see different levels of reality. The environmental movement came out of this.
7 – INTEGRAL – This is where we’ll see an integrated worldview emerge. Will become more involved with how we and the environment work better as a healthy, cared for system. We will also see more demands for transparent hierarchies that are held accountable.
8 – MATURE INTEGRAL – Knows and understands we are not separate but one unified field and will hold a global view that will look after everyone and the planet.
I listened to his audiobook about 15-20 years ago and I remember him saying we will start to see the integral stage emerging into our awareness when we see people advocating and being activists for others they might not necessarily have previously cared for even in the 1990’s. I think we’re already seeing this we so many movements emerging today.
America is at odds with itself. You have a Mythic/ethnocentric group of people trying to drag the next evolving stage of consciousness via the Rational/Democratic groups. I think it’s more a fear of having to come to terms with a world that is changing out of all recognition for them. Tribalism is starting to recede and they’re digging their heals in.
Thanks that fits with psychological development, Interesting.
Jo, that’s fascinating, thank you. No, I had not heard of Integral theory, many thanks for sharing.
That’s an interesting perspective, and I think you might find Bob Altemeyer’s work particularly relevant if you’re not already familiar with it. His research on Right Wing Authoritarianism (RWA) provides an empirical look at why some individuals are psychologically predisposed to follow authoritarian leaders, embrace conspiracy theories, and resist critical thinking.
While Bandy X. Lee describes these phenomena using psychiatric terms like “shared psychosis” and “narcissistic symbiosis,” Altemeyer takes a more data-driven, socio-political psychology approach. He conducted decades of experiments measuring authoritarian submission, aggression, and conventionalism, showing how fear, social stress, and group dynamics make people more susceptible to leaders who promise security and dominance.
One of the most striking aspects of his work is how authoritarian personalities don’t just emerge from nowhere – they are shaped by family dynamics, education, and societal structures. If you’re interested, he actually made his book The Authoritarians available for free online. You can check it out here (skip to chapter 1): https://theauthoritarians.org/
Thank you so much! That is precisely what I was interested in, a psychological and sociological viewpoint. This will give a lot of answers.
I’m not sure if Marjorie is deleting my posts, but I wonder where did my Bandy X. Lee brief reply go and why? I wasn’t offensive or anything.
I also had a huge South Korea astrological Sunday go away into nothing. Never understood what that was about.
Respectfully there is a fine line between contextual comments and just chatter – and this is not a chat site. Astrology only plus any helpful background info but not opinions or just random thoughts.
There is an Astrology Thread on Reddit where you can just post away El Aznar. You have interesting insights. Maurice Fernandez is a good place to post away as well.
The concept of American Exceptionalism by its very nature reinforces such processes. A country which thinks it is an historical exception by its very nature is likely to be narcissistic and to look for leaders that reflect and reinforce that self image. Someone like Trump plays into that process but he did not create it and historically it has not been an idea just exploited by Republicans. In some ways it relates back to the Puritan origins of the USA and the fact they saw themselves as the “Elect” as the Presbyterians would describe it. In that respect it is slightly different to most European concepts of national identity.
Do you guys have any tarot readers on YouTube to recommend?
I don’t watch them often, but I’d sample out Ali’s Tarot, Julie Poole, The Quietest Revolution (Amber Khan?) and Nicholas Ashbaugh (Nicholas Tarot?).
Decades ago, I had a well-known reader advise me to purchase some cards (Rider Waite deck is best) and a primer booklet on reading them. I’d give it a go, as It really works.
Oh, thank you so much! I bumped onto Ashbaugh, but I only watch his short videos. Somehow haven’t had the patience to go through the longer ones, but I’m glad he’s good.
I watched various ones, e.g. The White Feather Tarot, The Nordic Light, Venus Return, but the two last ones I dropped some time ago, and The White Feather I somehow got a bit fed up with. I learnt a lot, but also felt sometimes there was a lot of inventing as you go along or too much positivity, even with “bad” cards (weirdly, in recent shorts I’ve noticed a lot more cautiousness and “negative” stuff, and I hated it!!).
Now I’m somehow hooked to Crossroads Meets the Ocean Rose, though sometimes I feel like it’s all the same, and Brittany Bento.
Not everyone is for everyone.
I like Mad World Tarot and Strange World Tarot. The Tarot reader for both is Paula.
Yes. Maryann Weston of Revealing Light Tarot, Libby of Maighstir Tarot and Lena Rodriguez of Lena Down Under. They’re all three Australian women doing readings on American politics and spirituality, with an amazing knowledge of and subtle understanding of American politics which impressed me (and I grew up in American politics). Maryann and Libby are extremely kind and sensitive, Lena deliciously snarky and funny. I also like Linda G the Comanche Psyche, though she lacks the depth of political knowledge but has the kindness and empathy.
The recent revelations from the DOGE, specifically of USAID, might be worth exploring.
There are no revelations from DOGE about USAID.
There expenditures have always been documented.
Musk is only attacking USAID because it was heavily involved in ending apartheid in South Africa.
What DOGE is doing is just a distraction while Musk and his hackers are digging into classified/secret information in Energy Department (nuclear codes), Treasury Department and other departments.
Explain why Musk needs to have access to the medical information of millions of government workers along with their evaluations to do a monetary audit on a department.
Do you notice how many people tell us how they do not watch or read news at all these days. People actively avoid news of any sort. This is something different. I remember when people used to devour newspapers and news programs and discuss them at work and in cafes and pubs. Several people quite ordinary sort of people told me they avoid news completely now. I do notice on the buses these days that people actively do not pick up the Metro newspaper now too. It is curious. I do find myself that I also avoid reading news too. One woman said to me, “If it is important. I’ll hear about it sometime. But I won’t read the news”. Funny times.
Thank you, Diedrie
I have discovered this to be quite a profound experience in my life, as well
There are multiple facets for reasoning, imo; unable to elaborate at the moment…
Will respond further in a day or so…
Alabe.com Astro-Weather says:
“Neptune void in Pisces
Trends are unclear. Not everything is known, there is much to suspect. The fabric of reality seems to be ripped asunder. Faith in leadership is low. Social and economic conditions are unstable and subject to devaluations. The future looks uncertain and no one is taking any chances. Beliefs about reality are challenged. Some feel overwhelmed, even flooded, literally and figuratively.”
Also
“Uranus void in Taurus
Actions are unconventional, radical, or surprising. Not everyone agrees on how things should go, therefore there is discord within groups. Others, who have a specific agenda, persevere to make their point despite fierce opposition. Social conditions are volatile now. The bottom could fall out. It’s a time for experimentation and deviant behaviors. Sudden, unusual, and disruptive conditions occur now that reveal deep inequalities in society and culture.”
The media has gone badly off in recent years – and no it is nothing to do with the ‘deep state’ which expression is heretofore banned.
The emergence of social media, twitter especially, has led to a ranting and raving, divisive culture – and the media has responded by becoming over sensationalised. Some of the popular tabloid media nowadays is like a Victorian freak and horror and semi-porn show. Journalists apart from a few worthy exceptions have lost the ability to be detached observers.
Atrocities from all four corners of the globe are headlined instantly on TV when in ye olden days they would have emerged (if at all) much later in more detached language and without the blood and guts pictures.
Blame it on TV – if it bleeds it leads – or twitter. Or the money men moving into to take over EVERYTHING and only the bottom line is important which has perverted the direction the media has taken.
We live in uncertain times and everyone is frazzled not knowing what is coming next. I find myself aiming for TV shows that are calming and don’t include missing children, sadistic serial killers or animals being chomped by bigger predators.
Maybe Hugh has a thought about a parallel with the decline of the Roman Empire? As the culture debases and eventually disintegrates.
But this stuff should change once Uranus enters Gemini, a sign associated with communication, media, and the third house.
The last few days I was thinking whether I was shocked & horrified and deeply saddened by the La isla de la tentacion Montoya & Anita story or if I was being fooled by ‘telebasura’ TV and where it is all going and leading to.
I have been worried about how this is mimicking Rome.
Since ‘the unspeakable’ happened in November last year, I’m limiting time spent on news media now, simply for the sake of my mental wellbeing. I don’t want bread and circuses to distract me either – temptation/love island would just make me feel even more alienated and out of step with humanity. Social media is becoming ever more aggressive and unhinged with its users’ instant reactions to events, rather than considered reflection before arriving at an opinion. I prefer to read Marjorie’s fantastic blog and the interesting comments for my news.
I can’t wait for Spring when I can get outdoors and be in my garden and with nature. I watch the birds and animals and I feel at peace again.
Love him or loathe him, Gore Vidal made some interesting points about Ancient Rome and the USA.
“I complain about the United States not being Athens. I certainly say we are a very good Roman republic, and the lies are based upon the most advanced techniques of advertising, which is the only art form my country has ever created—the television commercial—and we sell soap and presidents in the same fashion. Once a country is habituated to liars, it takes generations to bring the truth back.”
― Gore Vidal, Imperial America: Reflections on the United States of Amnesia
Have to say I totally agree with this summary. I do think that it is sometimes difficult as an individual journalist to go against the grain of what your editor/news editor demands unless you have a profile that means they need you more than you need them. The media is now so competitive that there will always be someone willing to step into your shoes if you won’t stick to the script and that’s even if the script relates to something much less serious than or as consequential as geopolitics. I also think that some of those who rise to the top, just like other industries, are much less self-reflective than the average. Personally, I think the rot began to set in with rolling 24-hour news programmes. In days of yore if anything really significantly newsworthy happened the broadcasters would break into ordinary programmes with a newsflash. I remember this as recently as the Kegworth air crash in the late 80s. Most of the time very little of real significance is occurring or at least not so significant that it requires continuous coverage. In the absence of genuine updates that space is filled with interviews with various talking heads who, more often than not, are forced to speculate. Or say: “I can’t really speculate on that…” before going on to do exactly that. Those opinions feed into phone-ins etc, and become amplified, especially since the rise of social media. At least half of what we think of as news now, I’d argue, is actually opinion in the guise of news. I wonder if there was some sort of astrological signature that prepared the rise of rolling news? Also, is there any way of being more precise, astrologically, about developments in the mass media. I guess if someone had tried to describe the Internet ahead of time, few of us would have been able to conceive really what it meant. My very rudimentary understanding of astrology has me believe that Mercury is the prime mover with regards to media but I’m sure there is a lot more to it than that. I saw a reference on another astrology site suggesting Mercury ruled social media but is that just to lump all media in together when there might be greater nuances to be considered. What effect AI is going to have on journalism I shudder to think.
yes the Dog House is my favourite binge watch…because dogs are the best humans.
I used to work in the technical and business side of media and it’s been extremely tough out there for 20+ years now. I started as a technician and gradually became more and more of a data analyst, because advertisers demand more and more metrics. They want to see evidence of engagement in real time, instead of simply exposure like the old days. It pays to wind people up, it’s as simple as that.
My antidote to it all has been volunteering. Real engagement with people and the community. I know I’m lucky to have the means to be able to do that. What I’ve noticed a lot in the last 10-15 years or so is the amount of people who increasingly complain that they find social contact “draining” and they flake out of real world interactions in favour of staying at home on their devices, they have become so dopamine driven. Of course it worsened over the pandemic, but I saw it before that. It’s incredibly bad for physical and mental health, there is plenty of evidence now to show that real social contact is as important as physical exercise as a predictor of longevity and overall health outcomes.
I’m curious about Senator John Fetterman (August 15, 1969). When he was elected, people were very excited that he would be a centrist Democrat. Then, shortly after taking office, he had a stroke. Now his votes are all over the map, often contradicting his stated views. Can astrology shed some light on his stroke and its outcomes?
OT, Boris Becker’s chart displayed an interesting pattern: a rectangle composed of two oppositions connected by two sextiles. Is there a name for this pattern, and what does it indicate?
As always, thanks for your insights.
I haven’t looked at his chart, but maybe you mean mystic rectangle?
Sounds like it, El Aznar. Thank you.
It is known as a mystic rectangle but appears not to have a mystical effect – more a problem balancing disparate energies.
His interview today was interesting… sounds like he may cross the floor soon.
US invasions of Canada:
June 1775 to October 1776. Montreal captured Nov 13th 1775. Quebec City attacked Dec 31st 1775, but the British held it. Montreal was recaptured by Britain on June 17 1776.
War of 1812. Declaration of war on 18th June 1812.
In both wars, the Americans expected the Canadians to welcome them, and were surprised when they didn’t.
Jupiter and Uranus were in Gemini in June 1775.
Neptune was at 11 Sag 37 at the start of the 1812 war (conjunct the US ascendant).
So Americans go on the attack when the asc-desc axis is activated. Jupiter is in Gemini now, and Uranus will be in Gemini in a few years.
What I need help with is how this relates to Canada’s chart.
The Sun was at 27 Gemini square Pluto at 19 Pisces at the start of the 1812 war.
In June 1775, Neptune was conjunct Mars at 20 Virgo. On Nov 13th 1775 when Montreal was captured, Mars was at 23 Sag, Jupiter at 19 Gemini and Neptune at 24 Virgo.
So 19 to 24 degrees of a mutable sign seem sensitive for Canada – but I can’t see anything at that point in Canada’s 1867 chart. Is there an older chart?
Might the USA based Fenian raids in 1866 also be included?
Hi Marjorie,
Trump has halted aid/charity money that involves billions of dollars to South Africa, etc. This could have dire consequences not only for South Africa but also for America. Could you please take a look at astrology for South Africa as this may result in China gaining an even larger foothold. Thank you.
Hi Marjorie,
Could you please look at Hugh Jackman & Sutton Foster’s compatibility? Curious also if either of them had transits that could be connected to the end of their marriages.
Hugh Jackman October 12, 1968 Sydney, NSW, Australia (Astrotheme)
Sutton Foster March 18, 1975 Statesboro, Georgia, USA (wikipedia)
Deborra Lee-Furness November 30, 1955 Annandale, NSW Australia (wikipedia)
Ted Griffin December 21, 1970 Pasadena, California, USA (wikipedia)
Dear Marjorie,
I have a suggestion for you. Jack Schlossberg had what is seems to be a mental breakdown and quit the Internet. He is the Kennedy heir. Given, how his cousin is back in the spotlight it would be interesting to see what is going on with him. It seems Jack was the person who convinced his mother to denounce RJK Jr.
I wonder whether you could at the prospects of the ‘magnificent seven’.
Too my eyes they are very exposed in trade wars that could break out. Deepseek new open source AI revealed how fragile Nvidia’s revenue stream is.
The rest of the software and hardware produced by the other companies could be upended by open source software in a similar manner
Linux could easily replace Windows, which would mean all of the software running on Windows would be redundant. The Chrome web browser could be replaced by the open source Chromium. The Microsoft and Oracle RDMS could be replaced by Postgres. Open source RISC processors could replace ARM, AMD and Intel processors. In all these cases the replacement would cost a fraction of the existing software, which would mean existing high development costs would be slashed.
If this was to happen worldwide, the exalted valuations of the the so-called ‘Magnificent Seven’ would collapse with devastating financial and economic consequences for the rest of the US economy.
People who live in glass houses should not throw stones.
I forgot to mention Open Stack for cloud computing.
Why isn’t it happening if it could happen? Some of these technologies have been around, no?
My experience suggests inertia amongst management. In my day you never got sacked for buying IBM although Univac and Vax were cheaper and just as good and had none of the bloatware of IBM. In the later days of my working life Microsoft became the new IBM. Again management were not prepared to rock the boat, although many current users are finding the latest copies of Windows is full of bloatware, necessitating the purchase of ever increasingly powerful hardware. Doesn’t happen on Ubuntu.
In addition, my local library informs me that ‘blue screen death’ is alive and well in the land of Windows.
I forgot to mention tie ups between OEMs and Microsoft and Google.
I bought a Chinese PC, but I still had to pay the Microsoft Tax (about£80-100), which I ripped out on receipt.
I love my little Chromebook – Comms device only. It is a brick if the internet is off. But for Comms – it works great – Asus / Chromebook OS. I had home windows for years. Am looking at a small Apple computer for more serious things like writing. I wish I was more confident around LInux. I have a System Admin on a large node that is all he does.
Hi Marjorie,
Could you please take a look at Belle Gibson’s chart. An Australian con woman who faked having brain cancer, duped the public, the media etc. the story is currently on Netflix called Apple Cider Vinegar. She mentions in the show she is a Libra sun and Capricorn rising. Birth time 8 October 1991 Launceston Tasmania.
Thank you
@Sarah, I saw a documentary on her and the healthy lifestyle website she built. Never looked at her astrology, but must say building a lifestyle grift of some kind is VERY Libran. “Healthy” lifestyle usually has some Virgo in the mix. (Speaking as a fellow Libra Sun/ Capricorn Moon with some Virgo thrown in…)
Yes omg. She has Venus conjunct Jupiter in Virgo and a stellium in Libra!! I should have added that yes she claimed to have cured her brain cancer through diet alone and other alternative remedies.
All those Libra planets square Neptune and Uranus!! Blimey!!
“…building a lifestyle grift of some kind is VERY Libran. “Healthy” lifestyle usually has some Virgo in the mix.”
Some interesting similarities with Gwyneth Paltrow, her lifestyle brand Goop, and her astrology. She has Pluto-Sun-Mercury-Uranus in Libra and Mars in Virgo.
Do you guys understand the psyche of Trump, where is he coming from, what he’s about, why is he the way he is, what might have been some formative experiences, and maybe how it all gets reflected in his chart?
I know Marjorie is sick of talking about DJT. Jude Cowell has done extensive analysis of this over at her website StarsoverWashington dot com. It is all she writes about. She won’t let anyone comment – but you can dig deep on that part.
What interests me is that Trump will have transiting Uranus conjunct Midheaven around 22nd March 2025 for a possible disruption in status/career (if birth time is correct). He will also have transiting Uranus square Mars around 8th May 2025, for intense frustration, anger and disruption. I had this transit recently and it wasn’t pretty. However, I regained my composure quickly and I don’t have the military, weapons at my disposal or a narcissistic pathological need to feed off chaos! I hope he plays golf during those days!
Government is going to Shut Down on March 14th at this rate. May have something to do with that. Dems had to help them keep it open the last multiple rounds in 2024 (4 rounds) as the GOP could not agree among themselves. This time, Dems are in no mood to help due to what has been going on the last two weeks.
Super Bowl LIX kicks off at 6:30 p.m. ET on Sunday. Marjorie could you look at this date pls. It feels like a pivotal date .
A couple of years ago I predicted that Pluto in Aquarius would inevitably mean extreme power in the hands
of tech bros and populists. Now they have access to everything in the US and Musks substitute father, Trump has no comprehension of what he is doing.
There is no one to exert control over him whatsoever, beyond perhaps, his mother.
You are 100% correct, and what is going on over here is not pretty. It is the fall of a cultural order, and many of us are very very worried.
The USFSA and its seven charter clubs were officially recognized on April 4, 1921, in New York City. The recent crash of the American Eagle flight in Washington is the second one to wipe out many very promising US figure skaters. It follows the Sabena flight 548 Airlines disaster in 1961 that wiped out the entire USFSA team heading to the World Championship competition in the then Czech Republic. It would be interesting to see if there is anything in the chart of the USFSA which indicated a risk.
Dear Marjorie
Fully understand you’re tired of Trump related but could you please take a loot at Russell Vought he is just confirmed as Director of the United States Office of Management and Budget. Extreme radical and primary architect of Project 2025. He is probably the most dangerous person yet and basically has advocated that the president ignore the law and court orders He is also facilitating the process of dismantling our government agencies which has now started. You have done a post on the project in general but not this character. Much appreciated
There’s an add-on to the very recent article about Curtis Yarvin et al which looks at Vought.
Something different. In May 2009, Ssangyong, a struggling car giant was taken over by a consortium of banks and private investors, announcing the layoff of more than 2,600 people, or nearly 40% of its workforce.
That was the beginning of an occupation of the factory and a 77-day strike that ended in clashes between strikers armed with slingshots and steel pipes and riot police wielding rubber bullets and tasers, job layoffs and suicides all of which inspired …SQUID GAME. The game is based on a game children play in Korea. Question is do we have May 2009 stars coming up on a bigger scale?
Not really. That was Pluto just into Capricorn pulling down financial/commercial structures,
Venezuela calls US seizure of plane ‘brazen theft’
“https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1jg221w6p8o”
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio oversaw the seizure of the plane on Thursday – the second Venezuelan plane the US has confiscated in the Caribbean country in less than a year.
What happens when others countries perform the same seizures on American soil? Quid pro quo?
Just when you thought how can it get worse, there’s your answer: bribes are O.K. and will kickstart American business.
Something to cheer us up, a photo of the King and Angela Rayner in a very becoming olive coat, the King’s face is a picture of many interpretations, amusement, etc. her face is totally oblivious of his gaze.

Hi See
USA 2025 – a Cancerian moment of truth
15th December 2024
Federal Reserve chart is under extreme stress and meltdown as tr Neptune moves into Aries.
Thank you! This is different chart though. Even the Revolutionary war was financed by equivalent of Treasury Bonds, and the US Treasury was established in September 2nd, 1789. The treasury bonds are interesting in exactly that they are such “old timey” financial tools that they played a role during the last Pluto in Aquarius. For instance, Swedish Crown, which was at war with Russia, created National Debt Office to finance a war against Russia also in 1789, likely in Winter-early Spring due to it having been inaugurated with Riksdag, and this is when they usually gathered. The war ended with status quo, but led to inflation and near bankruptcy of the Crown, and later to assassination of Gustav III. We are obviously still quite a long way from the 1789 Pluto Return, but I think I’ll look at this out of curiosity.
Aah not really my area. Thanks. Will do a write up tomorrow. Guy in charge is a pro-Trump hedge fund type. He’s not looking happy through 2025 for sure. and the treasury chart is completely road blocked in 2026 and on.
Hi Marjorie,
Sandie Peggie Vs NHS Fife. Can you predict where this case is headed to?
Thanks
Ann
Sorry no dates
Marjorie,
You’ve probably seen that there is a piece in The Financial Times about Peter Mandelson – could you take a look at his fortunes, his astrocartography in Washington (don’t know if therr’s a birth time), and his relationships with Trump, Keir, and maybe Angela (who might be Labour’s next chief).
I am beginning understand your stance on the rants, Marjorie. The few that have managed to have come through have left me quite stressed myself. Please everyone, chill out, the World hasn’t ended.
Yesterday, regarding the psyche of Trump, I bumped onto an article/interview in the Scientific American with Bandy X. Lee, a forensic psychiatrist, and in one reply to a question she mentions two interesting psychological phenomena, narcissistic symbiosis and shared psychosis:
“The reasons are multiple and varied, but in my recent public-service book, Profile of a Nation, I have outlined two major emotional drives: narcissistic symbiosis and shared psychosis. Narcissistic symbiosis refers to the developmental wounds that make the leader-follower relationship magnetically attractive. The leader, hungry for adulation to compensate for an inner lack of self-worth, projects grandiose omnipotence—while the followers, rendered needy by societal stress or developmental injury, yearn for a parental figure. When such wounded individuals are given positions of power, they arouse similar pathology in the population that creates a “lock and key” relationship.
“Shared psychosis”—which is also called “folie à millions” [“madness for millions”] when occurring at the national level or “induced delusions”—refers to the infectiousness of severe symptoms that goes beyond ordinary group psychology. When a highly symptomatic individual is placed in an influential position, the person’s symptoms can spread through the population through emotional bonds, heightening existing pathologies and inducing delusions, paranoia and propensity for violence—even in previously healthy individuals. The treatment is removal of exposure.”
How true or not is left to the reader, but it is intriguing to find out about stuff that exists in human psychology.
Thanks El Aznar
Sounds about right to me. The descriptions perfectly fit.
That’s very interesting EA. I’ve read about ‘collective narcissism’ before and the wiki article on the topic is worth reading. Collective narcissism is connected also to ethnocentrism – the idea that one’s culture, customs, language is superior to any orther. Sam Vaknin writes well about the subject too in his book, ‘Malignant Narcissism Revisisted’. I think you’re right that there’s also a collective yearning for a golden father figure from those wounded or abandoned by their own fathers or mothers. Astrologer Liz Greene (the name of the book escapes me) talks about Hitler’s 8th house Pluto/Neptune conjunction and 12th house Uranus, how he was able to channel and give voice to the collective shadow, for example in his performance at rallies where he appeared to be fed by the crowds’ infantile longing for a strong, steadfast father figure as well as their supremacist fantasies.
* apologies: ‘Malignant Self-Love, Narcissism Revisited’.
Have you read any of Ken Wilber’s Integral Theory, virgoflake? You triggered a memory for me when you mentioned ethnocentrism.
In Ken’s studies he mentioned how consciousness displays itself as it evolves in stages throughout humanity (and individually of course). Also, groups of people can be at different levels of learning to each other in any time period. A crude break down of his levels were;
1 – ARCHAIC – Has a worldview where it just needs to survive the elements. The baby.
2 – MAGICAL – Began about 50,000 years ago. This is when shamanic/animatic cultures emerged. Awareness of something beyond us. Childhood play and wonder.
3 – EGO – Emerged about 10,000 years ago where aggression and an interest in power attitudes impacted and drove cultures. Child emerging into its identity.
4 – MYTHIC – Emerged about 5,000 years ago. Much more group orientated. Can be seen in fundamental religious cultures. Very ethnocentrism or nation centric. This is where a substantial number of Americans are. Teen finding it’s own tribe.
5 – RATIONAL – Emerged about 500 years ago. Has a multiplistic view. Starts to move away from ethnocentric views and incorporate other realities to learn from. Democracy would come under this stage. College/university level adult thinking.
6 – PLURALISTIC – Emerged about 150 years but came into real affect in the 1960’s. Values human relationships and able to see different levels of reality. The environmental movement came out of this.
7 – INTEGRAL – This is where we’ll see an integrated worldview emerge. Will become more involved with how we and the environment work better as a healthy, cared for system. We will also see more demands for transparent hierarchies that are held accountable.
8 – MATURE INTEGRAL – Knows and understands we are not separate but one unified field and will hold a global view that will look after everyone and the planet.
I listened to his audiobook about 15-20 years ago and I remember him saying we will start to see the integral stage emerging into our awareness when we see people advocating and being activists for others they might not necessarily have previously cared for even in the 1990’s. I think we’re already seeing this we so many movements emerging today.
America is at odds with itself. You have a Mythic/ethnocentric group of people trying to drag the next evolving stage of consciousness via the Rational/Democratic groups. I think it’s more a fear of having to come to terms with a world that is changing out of all recognition for them. Tribalism is starting to recede and they’re digging their heals in.
Thanks that fits with psychological development, Interesting.
Jo, that’s fascinating, thank you. No, I had not heard of Integral theory, many thanks for sharing.
That’s an interesting perspective, and I think you might find Bob Altemeyer’s work particularly relevant if you’re not already familiar with it. His research on Right Wing Authoritarianism (RWA) provides an empirical look at why some individuals are psychologically predisposed to follow authoritarian leaders, embrace conspiracy theories, and resist critical thinking.
While Bandy X. Lee describes these phenomena using psychiatric terms like “shared psychosis” and “narcissistic symbiosis,” Altemeyer takes a more data-driven, socio-political psychology approach. He conducted decades of experiments measuring authoritarian submission, aggression, and conventionalism, showing how fear, social stress, and group dynamics make people more susceptible to leaders who promise security and dominance.
One of the most striking aspects of his work is how authoritarian personalities don’t just emerge from nowhere – they are shaped by family dynamics, education, and societal structures. If you’re interested, he actually made his book The Authoritarians available for free online. You can check it out here (skip to chapter 1):
https://theauthoritarians.org/
Thank you so much! That is precisely what I was interested in, a psychological and sociological viewpoint. This will give a lot of answers.
I’m not sure if Marjorie is deleting my posts, but I wonder where did my Bandy X. Lee brief reply go and why? I wasn’t offensive or anything.
I also had a huge South Korea astrological Sunday go away into nothing. Never understood what that was about.
Respectfully there is a fine line between contextual comments and just chatter – and this is not a chat site. Astrology only plus any helpful background info but not opinions or just random thoughts.
There is an Astrology Thread on Reddit where you can just post away El Aznar. You have interesting insights. Maurice Fernandez is a good place to post away as well.
The concept of American Exceptionalism by its very nature reinforces such processes. A country which thinks it is an historical exception by its very nature is likely to be narcissistic and to look for leaders that reflect and reinforce that self image. Someone like Trump plays into that process but he did not create it and historically it has not been an idea just exploited by Republicans. In some ways it relates back to the Puritan origins of the USA and the fact they saw themselves as the “Elect” as the Presbyterians would describe it. In that respect it is slightly different to most European concepts of national identity.
Do you guys have any tarot readers on YouTube to recommend?
I don’t watch them often, but I’d sample out Ali’s Tarot, Julie Poole, The Quietest Revolution (Amber Khan?) and Nicholas Ashbaugh (Nicholas Tarot?).
Decades ago, I had a well-known reader advise me to purchase some cards (Rider Waite deck is best) and a primer booklet on reading them. I’d give it a go, as It really works.
Oh, thank you so much! I bumped onto Ashbaugh, but I only watch his short videos. Somehow haven’t had the patience to go through the longer ones, but I’m glad he’s good.
I watched various ones, e.g. The White Feather Tarot, The Nordic Light, Venus Return, but the two last ones I dropped some time ago, and The White Feather I somehow got a bit fed up with. I learnt a lot, but also felt sometimes there was a lot of inventing as you go along or too much positivity, even with “bad” cards (weirdly, in recent shorts I’ve noticed a lot more cautiousness and “negative” stuff, and I hated it!!).
Now I’m somehow hooked to Crossroads Meets the Ocean Rose, though sometimes I feel like it’s all the same, and Brittany Bento.
Not everyone is for everyone.
I like Mad World Tarot and Strange World Tarot. The Tarot reader for both is Paula.
Yes. Maryann Weston of Revealing Light Tarot, Libby of Maighstir Tarot and Lena Rodriguez of Lena Down Under. They’re all three Australian women doing readings on American politics and spirituality, with an amazing knowledge of and subtle understanding of American politics which impressed me (and I grew up in American politics). Maryann and Libby are extremely kind and sensitive, Lena deliciously snarky and funny. I also like Linda G the Comanche Psyche, though she lacks the depth of political knowledge but has the kindness and empathy.
The recent revelations from the DOGE, specifically of USAID, might be worth exploring.
There are no revelations from DOGE about USAID.
There expenditures have always been documented.
Musk is only attacking USAID because it was heavily involved in ending apartheid in South Africa.
What DOGE is doing is just a distraction while Musk and his hackers are digging into classified/secret information in Energy Department (nuclear codes), Treasury Department and other departments.
Explain why Musk needs to have access to the medical information of millions of government workers along with their evaluations to do a monetary audit on a department.
Do you notice how many people tell us how they do not watch or read news at all these days. People actively avoid news of any sort. This is something different. I remember when people used to devour newspapers and news programs and discuss them at work and in cafes and pubs. Several people quite ordinary sort of people told me they avoid news completely now. I do notice on the buses these days that people actively do not pick up the Metro newspaper now too. It is curious. I do find myself that I also avoid reading news too. One woman said to me, “If it is important. I’ll hear about it sometime. But I won’t read the news”. Funny times.
Thank you, Diedrie
I have discovered this to be quite a profound experience in my life, as well
There are multiple facets for reasoning, imo; unable to elaborate at the moment…
Will respond further in a day or so…
Alabe.com Astro-Weather says:
“Neptune void in Pisces
Trends are unclear. Not everything is known, there is much to suspect. The fabric of reality seems to be ripped asunder. Faith in leadership is low. Social and economic conditions are unstable and subject to devaluations. The future looks uncertain and no one is taking any chances. Beliefs about reality are challenged. Some feel overwhelmed, even flooded, literally and figuratively.”
Also
“Uranus void in Taurus
Actions are unconventional, radical, or surprising. Not everyone agrees on how things should go, therefore there is discord within groups. Others, who have a specific agenda, persevere to make their point despite fierce opposition. Social conditions are volatile now. The bottom could fall out. It’s a time for experimentation and deviant behaviors. Sudden, unusual, and disruptive conditions occur now that reveal deep inequalities in society and culture.”
The media has gone badly off in recent years – and no it is nothing to do with the ‘deep state’ which expression is heretofore banned.
The emergence of social media, twitter especially, has led to a ranting and raving, divisive culture – and the media has responded by becoming over sensationalised. Some of the popular tabloid media nowadays is like a Victorian freak and horror and semi-porn show. Journalists apart from a few worthy exceptions have lost the ability to be detached observers.
Atrocities from all four corners of the globe are headlined instantly on TV when in ye olden days they would have emerged (if at all) much later in more detached language and without the blood and guts pictures.
Blame it on TV – if it bleeds it leads – or twitter. Or the money men moving into to take over EVERYTHING and only the bottom line is important which has perverted the direction the media has taken.
We live in uncertain times and everyone is frazzled not knowing what is coming next. I find myself aiming for TV shows that are calming and don’t include missing children, sadistic serial killers or animals being chomped by bigger predators.
Maybe Hugh has a thought about a parallel with the decline of the Roman Empire? As the culture debases and eventually disintegrates.
But this stuff should change once Uranus enters Gemini, a sign associated with communication, media, and the third house.
The last few days I was thinking whether I was shocked & horrified and deeply saddened by the La isla de la tentacion Montoya & Anita story or if I was being fooled by ‘telebasura’ TV and where it is all going and leading to.
I have been worried about how this is mimicking Rome.
Since ‘the unspeakable’ happened in November last year, I’m limiting time spent on news media now, simply for the sake of my mental wellbeing. I don’t want bread and circuses to distract me either – temptation/love island would just make me feel even more alienated and out of step with humanity. Social media is becoming ever more aggressive and unhinged with its users’ instant reactions to events, rather than considered reflection before arriving at an opinion. I prefer to read Marjorie’s fantastic blog and the interesting comments for my news.
I can’t wait for Spring when I can get outdoors and be in my garden and with nature. I watch the birds and animals and I feel at peace again.
Love him or loathe him, Gore Vidal made some interesting points about Ancient Rome and the USA.
“I complain about the United States not being Athens. I certainly say we are a very good Roman republic, and the lies are based upon the most advanced techniques of advertising, which is the only art form my country has ever created—the television commercial—and we sell soap and presidents in the same fashion. Once a country is habituated to liars, it takes generations to bring the truth back.”
― Gore Vidal, Imperial America: Reflections on the United States of Amnesia
Have to say I totally agree with this summary. I do think that it is sometimes difficult as an individual journalist to go against the grain of what your editor/news editor demands unless you have a profile that means they need you more than you need them. The media is now so competitive that there will always be someone willing to step into your shoes if you won’t stick to the script and that’s even if the script relates to something much less serious than or as consequential as geopolitics. I also think that some of those who rise to the top, just like other industries, are much less self-reflective than the average. Personally, I think the rot began to set in with rolling 24-hour news programmes. In days of yore if anything really significantly newsworthy happened the broadcasters would break into ordinary programmes with a newsflash. I remember this as recently as the Kegworth air crash in the late 80s. Most of the time very little of real significance is occurring or at least not so significant that it requires continuous coverage. In the absence of genuine updates that space is filled with interviews with various talking heads who, more often than not, are forced to speculate. Or say: “I can’t really speculate on that…” before going on to do exactly that. Those opinions feed into phone-ins etc, and become amplified, especially since the rise of social media. At least half of what we think of as news now, I’d argue, is actually opinion in the guise of news. I wonder if there was some sort of astrological signature that prepared the rise of rolling news? Also, is there any way of being more precise, astrologically, about developments in the mass media. I guess if someone had tried to describe the Internet ahead of time, few of us would have been able to conceive really what it meant. My very rudimentary understanding of astrology has me believe that Mercury is the prime mover with regards to media but I’m sure there is a lot more to it than that. I saw a reference on another astrology site suggesting Mercury ruled social media but is that just to lump all media in together when there might be greater nuances to be considered. What effect AI is going to have on journalism I shudder to think.
yes the Dog House is my favourite binge watch…because dogs are the best humans.
I used to work in the technical and business side of media and it’s been extremely tough out there for 20+ years now. I started as a technician and gradually became more and more of a data analyst, because advertisers demand more and more metrics. They want to see evidence of engagement in real time, instead of simply exposure like the old days. It pays to wind people up, it’s as simple as that.
My antidote to it all has been volunteering. Real engagement with people and the community. I know I’m lucky to have the means to be able to do that. What I’ve noticed a lot in the last 10-15 years or so is the amount of people who increasingly complain that they find social contact “draining” and they flake out of real world interactions in favour of staying at home on their devices, they have become so dopamine driven. Of course it worsened over the pandemic, but I saw it before that. It’s incredibly bad for physical and mental health, there is plenty of evidence now to show that real social contact is as important as physical exercise as a predictor of longevity and overall health outcomes.
I’m curious about Senator John Fetterman (August 15, 1969). When he was elected, people were very excited that he would be a centrist Democrat. Then, shortly after taking office, he had a stroke. Now his votes are all over the map, often contradicting his stated views. Can astrology shed some light on his stroke and its outcomes?
OT, Boris Becker’s chart displayed an interesting pattern: a rectangle composed of two oppositions connected by two sextiles. Is there a name for this pattern, and what does it indicate?
As always, thanks for your insights.
I haven’t looked at his chart, but maybe you mean mystic rectangle?
Sounds like it, El Aznar. Thank you.
It is known as a mystic rectangle but appears not to have a mystical effect – more a problem balancing disparate energies.
His interview today was interesting… sounds like he may cross the floor soon.
US invasions of Canada:
June 1775 to October 1776. Montreal captured Nov 13th 1775. Quebec City attacked Dec 31st 1775, but the British held it. Montreal was recaptured by Britain on June 17 1776.
War of 1812. Declaration of war on 18th June 1812.
In both wars, the Americans expected the Canadians to welcome them, and were surprised when they didn’t.
Jupiter and Uranus were in Gemini in June 1775.
Neptune was at 11 Sag 37 at the start of the 1812 war (conjunct the US ascendant).
So Americans go on the attack when the asc-desc axis is activated. Jupiter is in Gemini now, and Uranus will be in Gemini in a few years.
What I need help with is how this relates to Canada’s chart.
The Sun was at 27 Gemini square Pluto at 19 Pisces at the start of the 1812 war.
In June 1775, Neptune was conjunct Mars at 20 Virgo. On Nov 13th 1775 when Montreal was captured, Mars was at 23 Sag, Jupiter at 19 Gemini and Neptune at 24 Virgo.
So 19 to 24 degrees of a mutable sign seem sensitive for Canada – but I can’t see anything at that point in Canada’s 1867 chart. Is there an older chart?
Might the USA based Fenian raids in 1866 also be included?
Hi Marjorie,
Trump has halted aid/charity money that involves billions of dollars to South Africa, etc. This could have dire consequences not only for South Africa but also for America. Could you please take a look at astrology for South Africa as this may result in China gaining an even larger foothold. Thank you.

Hi Marjorie,
Could you please look at Hugh Jackman & Sutton Foster’s compatibility? Curious also if either of them had transits that could be connected to the end of their marriages.
Hugh Jackman October 12, 1968 Sydney, NSW, Australia (Astrotheme)
Sutton Foster March 18, 1975 Statesboro, Georgia, USA (wikipedia)
Deborra Lee-Furness November 30, 1955 Annandale, NSW Australia (wikipedia)
Ted Griffin December 21, 1970 Pasadena, California, USA (wikipedia)
Dear Marjorie,
I have a suggestion for you. Jack Schlossberg had what is seems to be a mental breakdown and quit the Internet. He is the Kennedy heir. Given, how his cousin is back in the spotlight it would be interesting to see what is going on with him. It seems Jack was the person who convinced his mother to denounce RJK Jr.
I wonder whether you could at the prospects of the ‘magnificent seven’.
Too my eyes they are very exposed in trade wars that could break out. Deepseek new open source AI revealed how fragile Nvidia’s revenue stream is.
The rest of the software and hardware produced by the other companies could be upended by open source software in a similar manner
Linux could easily replace Windows, which would mean all of the software running on Windows would be redundant. The Chrome web browser could be replaced by the open source Chromium. The Microsoft and Oracle RDMS could be replaced by Postgres. Open source RISC processors could replace ARM, AMD and Intel processors. In all these cases the replacement would cost a fraction of the existing software, which would mean existing high development costs would be slashed.
If this was to happen worldwide, the exalted valuations of the the so-called ‘Magnificent Seven’ would collapse with devastating financial and economic consequences for the rest of the US economy.
People who live in glass houses should not throw stones.
I forgot to mention Open Stack for cloud computing.
Why isn’t it happening if it could happen? Some of these technologies have been around, no?
My experience suggests inertia amongst management. In my day you never got sacked for buying IBM although Univac and Vax were cheaper and just as good and had none of the bloatware of IBM. In the later days of my working life Microsoft became the new IBM. Again management were not prepared to rock the boat, although many current users are finding the latest copies of Windows is full of bloatware, necessitating the purchase of ever increasingly powerful hardware. Doesn’t happen on Ubuntu.
In addition, my local library informs me that ‘blue screen death’ is alive and well in the land of Windows.
I forgot to mention tie ups between OEMs and Microsoft and Google.
I bought a Chinese PC, but I still had to pay the Microsoft Tax (about£80-100), which I ripped out on receipt.
I love my little Chromebook – Comms device only. It is a brick if the internet is off. But for Comms – it works great – Asus / Chromebook OS. I had home windows for years. Am looking at a small Apple computer for more serious things like writing. I wish I was more confident around LInux. I have a System Admin on a large node that is all he does.
Hi Marjorie,
Could you please take a look at Belle Gibson’s chart. An Australian con woman who faked having brain cancer, duped the public, the media etc. the story is currently on Netflix called Apple Cider Vinegar. She mentions in the show she is a Libra sun and Capricorn rising. Birth time 8 October 1991 Launceston Tasmania.
Thank you
@Sarah, I saw a documentary on her and the healthy lifestyle website she built. Never looked at her astrology, but must say building a lifestyle grift of some kind is VERY Libran. “Healthy” lifestyle usually has some Virgo in the mix. (Speaking as a fellow Libra Sun/ Capricorn Moon with some Virgo thrown in…)
Yes omg. She has Venus conjunct Jupiter in Virgo and a stellium in Libra!! I should have added that yes she claimed to have cured her brain cancer through diet alone and other alternative remedies.
All those Libra planets square Neptune and Uranus!! Blimey!!
“…building a lifestyle grift of some kind is VERY Libran. “Healthy” lifestyle usually has some Virgo in the mix.”
Some interesting similarities with Gwyneth Paltrow, her lifestyle brand Goop, and her astrology. She has Pluto-Sun-Mercury-Uranus in Libra and Mars in Virgo.

Do you guys understand the psyche of Trump, where is he coming from, what he’s about, why is he the way he is, what might have been some formative experiences, and maybe how it all gets reflected in his chart?
I know Marjorie is sick of talking about DJT. Jude Cowell has done extensive analysis of this over at her website StarsoverWashington dot com. It is all she writes about. She won’t let anyone comment – but you can dig deep on that part.
What interests me is that Trump will have transiting Uranus conjunct Midheaven around 22nd March 2025 for a possible disruption in status/career (if birth time is correct). He will also have transiting Uranus square Mars around 8th May 2025, for intense frustration, anger and disruption. I had this transit recently and it wasn’t pretty. However, I regained my composure quickly and I don’t have the military, weapons at my disposal or a narcissistic pathological need to feed off chaos! I hope he plays golf during those days!
Government is going to Shut Down on March 14th at this rate. May have something to do with that. Dems had to help them keep it open the last multiple rounds in 2024 (4 rounds) as the GOP could not agree among themselves. This time, Dems are in no mood to help due to what has been going on the last two weeks.
Super Bowl LIX kicks off at 6:30 p.m. ET on Sunday. Marjorie could you look at this date pls. It feels like a pivotal date .
A couple of years ago I predicted that Pluto in Aquarius would inevitably mean extreme power in the hands
of tech bros and populists. Now they have access to everything in the US and Musks substitute father, Trump has no comprehension of what he is doing.
There is no one to exert control over him whatsoever, beyond perhaps, his mother.
You are 100% correct, and what is going on over here is not pretty. It is the fall of a cultural order, and many of us are very very worried.
The USFSA and its seven charter clubs were officially recognized on April 4, 1921, in New York City. The recent crash of the American Eagle flight in Washington is the second one to wipe out many very promising US figure skaters. It follows the Sabena flight 548 Airlines disaster in 1961 that wiped out the entire USFSA team heading to the World Championship competition in the then Czech Republic. It would be interesting to see if there is anything in the chart of the USFSA which indicated a risk.
Dear Marjorie
Fully understand you’re tired of Trump related but could you please take a loot at Russell Vought he is just confirmed as Director of the United States Office of Management and Budget. Extreme radical and primary architect of Project 2025. He is probably the most dangerous person yet and basically has advocated that the president ignore the law and court orders He is also facilitating the process of dismantling our government agencies which has now started. You have done a post on the project in general but not this character. Much appreciated
There’s an add-on to the very recent article about Curtis Yarvin et al which looks at Vought.
Something different. In May 2009, Ssangyong, a struggling car giant was taken over by a consortium of banks and private investors, announcing the layoff of more than 2,600 people, or nearly 40% of its workforce.
That was the beginning of an occupation of the factory and a 77-day strike that ended in clashes between strikers armed with slingshots and steel pipes and riot police wielding rubber bullets and tasers, job layoffs and suicides all of which inspired …SQUID GAME. The game is based on a game children play in Korea. Question is do we have May 2009 stars coming up on a bigger scale?
Not really. That was Pluto just into Capricorn pulling down financial/commercial structures,
Venezuela calls US seizure of plane ‘brazen theft’
“https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1jg221w6p8o”
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio oversaw the seizure of the plane on Thursday – the second Venezuelan plane the US has confiscated in the Caribbean country in less than a year.
What happens when others countries perform the same seizures on American soil? Quid pro quo?
Thank you.
