THE PROFILER ASTROBLOG

Scroll down for updates Prior blog entries this year, on Christchurch, like this one  and Recent Quake Data , give some background of my concern over the future of Christchurch as a safe, viable place to live. These concerns involve not only the geophysical state of the local region and city, but also the disturbed people energy , which spreads and reproduces. A regular tracking of the daily aftershocks through the Christchurch Quake Map  (2640 aftershocks plus the initial event on Feb 22, (7068 from Sept 4 2010 to May 31) shows how regularly the area is pummeled, from central Christchurch, west to the Greendale fault which occurred last September, and east to the harbour hills as well as the seafloor. Challenging social issues will continue to hit the headlines despite the highly commendable efforts of many who wish to rebuild their lives and communities. Their lives will never be the same as pre-quake and their strong attachment to their beloved neighbourhoods may test them

The partial solar eclipse on June 1 2011 affects most strongly those born on or around: June 1, Sept 4, Dec 3, March 2, as well as Jan 16, April 16, July 19, Oct 19, any year. (note June 1st is the northern hemisphere date: check your local correspondence of 9.04pm Universal Time. In NZ this converts to 9.04 am on Tues June 2) View the eclipse chart for Auckland NZ here On or around means primarily the actual day and a day either side, due to calendar fluctuations and the fact that energy doesn't stop on a fine line: it has a range of influence. (If you are fortunate enough to have had a birth chart prepared for you, this eclipse will also strongly target those with Gemini rising, especially around 11 degrees, as well as those with Virgo, Sag, or Pisces around from 9-13 degrees rising) This is a Gemini eclipse - with effects related to information, communication, ideas, thinking, mental activity in general as well as short journeys, especially on foot, by bicycle o

In UT, Universal Time (UK/GMT) the Full Moon for May is on the 17th at 11.10 am,  (NZ 11.10pm) Scorpio is one of the most extreme energies and often on the negative side of the balance sheet because few people get to evolve quickly the sort of transformational qualities that Scorpio offers those with this sign strongly in their chart -Sun, Moon or rising sign in particular - or if you have Pluto closely implicated with any of these as well as Venus or Mars. Scorpios who undergo radical transformations, death/rebirth type changes such as sinner to saint, athlete to tetraplegic symbolise the sort of major life changing shifts that scorpionic or plutonic energies can bring about. No coincidence that a plutonium bomb featured in the Nagasaki devastation in 1945. Scorpio is intrinsically linked to its opposing force Taurus because both concern physics or the physical - but Taurus is about the manifest, 5-sensory physical of our everyday existence - all our possessions, money, environm

                              This 2009 video provides some background ( Maori language with English subtitles)          Latest: scroll to end of post for 2014 updates Hone Harawira likes the cut and thrust of political life and as the son of a long-standing political activist, he has a suitable genealogy. According to the omens indicated on his birthday let's see what confirms this. A little bit of digging has unearthed the supplied birth-date, though not birth time, for Hone Harawira, firebrand NZ Maori politician. Firstly, being a Capricorn he is well placed to climb. The mountain goat symbolises the hardy, nuggety stamina that serves people well in political life. The view from the top is preferred over that from the valley floor. Hone is a youthful looking 56 years of age in 2011, with a birth date of January 6 1955. Lacking an exact time of birth only a partial analysis is possible, but the main interest at present is his political future, so that will be consider

Find the enlarged chart view here This is based on a birth time quoted as 10.58 am on the Astrotheme site in Jeddah/Jiddah, Saudi Arabia No guarantee can be given re the accuracy of this data. Here are some brief observations to provide a more nuanced look at this widely known -and feared person, who has been depicted in a rather one-dimensional manner by the world press. Astrologers can, when given accurate birth data, present the bigger picture, the contradictions and complexities that show no one is totally good, no one totally evil. Bin Laden is a Pisces, with Mercury and Venus in Pisces. Not the face of terrorism, but the face of faith. It is only when we dig deeper, do the defining aspects of Bin Laden's life and death reveal themselves. The Pisces group is the most elevated = 10th house of the chart - where a person comes into public view.  Next look at Neptune, the carrier of the Pisces themes. It's in Scorpio in the 6th house along with the North Node, also in Sc

This month May 2011 with the news of the death of Osama Bin Laden at the hands of US military forces, the observation arises regarding the amount of aggressive energy to the forefront this month. The month started with 6 factors in Aries and Mars in exact conjunction to Jupiter in Aries being prominent in that mix. Now with the global release of the death being confirmed the opportunity for big release of the anger & aggression of Mars is to be expected. America's chart was highlighted by the 13 Capricorn partial solar eclipse on January 4 ( America's sun at 13 Cancer) The next eclipse event on June 1, at 11 Gemini  has a 26 degree cardinal activation. This month, May, that point in Aries will be activated several times. In Universal Time (UT) the following dates and activators seem to be the most important May 1st - Moon May 6 -  Mars May 9 - Moon May 13 - Mercury, Venus May 15 - Moon May 17 - Death Moon ( Full Moon Scorpio ), Jupiter, Saturn May 18 - Jupit

The Royal Wedding of William and Catherine provided a global spectacle as well as the gift of joy to millions worldwide. The uplifting experience provided by the joining of two people in harmony and commitment will forever seal their union with a stamp of goodwill, sent to them by those who watched in person or from afar, the wedding unfold. As weddings go, it appeared to be remarkably free of glitches, testimony to the immense and meticulous planning necessitated. An analysis of the astrological indicators in play, at the time of the vows is available here  with some interesting observations made by Cerena Childress. The birth chart of Prince William and data are available here No online posting seems available for Kate Middleton's birth time, so her birth data of January 9 1982, in Reading, Berkshire, UK are referenced by those offering synastry opinions.
