THE PROFILER ASTROBLOG

With the resignation of Russel Norman on January 30 2015 as NZ Greens co-leader the door is open for a new encumbant, expected to be another male as co-leader. Comparing what is known of the energy templates for two possible candidates gives a preview of who might be a more successful candidate in the longer term picture . Kevin Hague 's name was mentioned by news media almost in the same breath as the Norman announcement,  followed by James Shaw , both men currently within the ranks and with good profiles as Green Party List MP's. What can be explored in the energy on the day each man was born. This is the imprint each received and though not able to be further refined by knowledge of either man's exact time of birth, some standout features will be obvious. When analysing a person's energy using the planetary patterns at birth,  zodiac signs are shown to relate to personal traits as well as to particular fields of experience or personal resonance.

News on January 20   2015 re the decline in China's economy prompts a review of this astroblog post from 2013 re the astrological warning signs for China returning:   The November 17 2013 post: I recently watched Niall Ferguson's series  China Triumph & Turmoil  [ You Tube has 4 episodes] in order to understand the mind of the dragon nation - now as we face an increasingly easternized world -  see t his post also related to Ferguson's proposals for an historical shift While watching the episode related to the famine in the years surrounding 1960 - the Great Chinese Famine  1958-1961 with mass fatalities from starvation on account of a mega failure of Maoist policy involving greatly reduced food production, coupled with drought & adverse weather I was very interested to see the astrological picture in effect at that time and the connections to the astrology of China To select a "birth" chart for a nation is not easy becau

The massacre in Paris  on Wednesday January 7 2015, involving staff of the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo has occurred in the context of clearly forecast astrological adversity. [massacre timeline] cover in the highly irreverent style typical of Charlie Hebdo The dominant cross pattern in Cardinal zodiac signs -Aries, Libra, Cancer, Capricorn has global long-term significance on numerous levels and carries themes applicable to this event: Indicative of the role of Libra in justice/injustice, the perpetrators of the attacks voiced their intention to avenge the prophet Mohammed whose image had been depicted in the magazine in a manner viewed as offensive to them. Cancer and Capricorn are associated with the larger family -people's shared cultural and nationalistic values and connections. Patriotism will be intensely raised in France as a consequence. Vigilante justice [Aries-Libra] is a high risk response under current energy patterns. The risks remain strong

The role of Uranus in storms and earthquakes is one of the solar system factors well worth examining. With Uranus conjuncting the true position of the south lunar node in January 2015 past examples of Uranus-node alignments may provide forecasting support. * Uranus in Aries will be in near exact south node conjunction by the 3rd week of January. The Aries-Libra nodal axis implicates issues of balance/imbalance being enacted through natural forces such as seismic movement and the winds. January 6 Looking at 2007 as a recent example Uranus in Pisces conjuncted the north lunar node in late March. Prior to that an array in mid Pisces - Sun-Uranus-north node in the range 15-16 degrees provided the most relevant trigger, coinciding with two destructive quakes in east Sumatra  on March 6.
