Uranus Pluto and Pandora's Box

Technical wizardry devoid of wisdom

 is more a curse than a blessing

This has never been truer than now in the context of rapid-paced AI evolution where previously unimaginable power can be accessed through a keyboard.

Pluto transiting Aquarius for 2 decades lays the potentials for a modus operandi of mass destruction and widespread harm - such outcomes elevated when a partner planet teams up with Pluto for the purpose of colluding with Pluto's darkest agendas.

July 2026 saw Pluto in a feedback loop with Uranus Neptune and Jupiter. Uranus-Pluto together provided enhanced information processing but also rogue activity (breakout! bypass! subvert!) 

Ths theme has duration beyond the immediate examples and requires sustained vigilance. 

Outer planetary pairs belong to long cycles: the origin cycle related to 2026 was 60 years ago - URA-PLU 16°-17°♍️ 3 conjunctions 10/65 4/66 6/66. 

Virgo is system behaviour - how all the interconnected parts create the whole 

Progressively  since the late 1960s the larger and smaller systems operating in human lives have been subject to challenge change breakdown and need for reinvention. Little progress has been made. Confidence in artificial intelligence to be the game-changer has been challenged by mounting concerns as Uranus and Pluto merged in a trine and in a larger 4 planet convergence in July 2026. 

2012 signalled the turning point around the potentials of the current Uranus-Pluto cycle. Rogue energy came through Uranus in Aries square the traditional/state regulation pattern Pluto in Capricorn - promising various levels of anarchy with destructive potentials.

Mutable factors are strongly tied to this Uranus-Pluto cycle.

All 3 URA-PLU conjunctions 1965-1966 were in mid Virgo degrees but early mutable degrees have held sway in this cycle. 

At the onset conjunction October 1965 the lunar nodes were 5'51 Gemini-Sagittarius

At the June 2012 onset square  of URA-PLU Jupiter♊️ was tightly square Neptune in Pisces - and both these mutable planets close enough to infiltrate the ♐️♊️ lunar nodes: Jupiter was 3 Gemini Neptune was 3 Pisces. The nodes were 4'46 Sagittarius-Gemini

Mutability is in itself a cause for concern under conditions where power is the God and low regulatory frameworks and deficient ethical consciousness provide little restraint.

The next viability point is 2046 when the URA-PLU opposition is early degrees of Virgo-Pisces. 

2029 is the halfway period in calendar years. The trine of URA-PLU has occurred in July 2026. 

2026

2026 has opened Pandora's Box with transit Uranus in September holding 5'41 ♊️ at retrograde . The North Node was 5'51 ♊️ when Uranus Joined Pluto - start of cycle Oct 9 1965.

Global concerns related to rapid speed AI development became very elevated in September 2026

It took some time for The "Hugging Face" incident   [July 9-13 2026 ] to reach wider public awareness around rogue AI. Reports filtered through since mid July. 

This notification lodged into human consciousness a far more heightened awareness re AI capabilities.

By the incident onset date 9 July Uranus Neptune and Pluto all at 4º were progressing towards their tight convergence and 100% capable of producing an attack [Neptune in Aries] of a technological nature - data-based [ Neptune sextile Uranus 4º Gemini ] revealing the anarchic power  [Pluto in Aquarius ] of an AI system using bot swarms

Clearly the Mutables in early degrees are playing a huge  - and in many respects an unhelpful role  within the march of AI towards system control. Uranus carries the potential for anarchic themes strongly in the near outlook.

2027-2028

The retrograde of Uranus means 5'41-5'51 is also transited directly in the last week of May 2027 and at 5'56 ♊️ station Direct February 2028.

These Uranus activation points extend the  impetus of rogue behaviours within the AI  ecosystem if appropriate controls cannot retain dominance.

If not managed effectively the controls flip into power abuse running rampant: both generated within the architecture and through users of that framework.

The opposition viability point begins Sept 2046 in Virgo-Pisces. 5 oppositions over 2 years in the range 3°-8° but the third - August 2047 - is notable at 5'54 ♍️♓️ now square the ♊️♐️ lunar nodes of  October 1965 URA-PLU cycle onset and forming a mutable cross with the 4'46♐️♊️ lunar nodes of the June 2012 first quarter square.

These mutable sign indicators as always can hold either/or potentials: Pluto can eradicate corruption fraud deception - all easily rampant within AI systems. Uranus can create new systems. Both can flip into a ♍️♓️ frequency driven by ethics and morals. It may take another 20+ years to get there but it is on offer.

The role played by Mutables in the immersion of AI into and across our world is very evident energetically and demonstrably pointing to the need for checks and balances in any system capable of wielding extreme power. 

When embedded with rogue expressions of the Fixed signs the Mutables become corrupted and know no limits. The Cardinals are the guardrail creators and without a strong Cardinal influence this revolutionary era is problematic.

Neptune in 2026 was the only Cardinal carrier in the 4@4º convergence in July. Neptune weakens Cardinal energy and remains in Aries until 2039. The plus side of weakening can paradoxically - eventually - evoke strengthening. Neptune when flipped into highest good mode can instil strong codes of behaviour based on consciousness -not  Capricornian external rules regulations and authority imposed.

Necessary protections are the only way to contain the aberrant potentials. The onus lies within humanity on an individual and collective level to know what limits serve us and to recognise the lack of limits that destroys us.

The Fixed sign potentials of Pluto in Aquarius also pose this hazard. This then necessitates a co-partnering of benign transformative Fixed energy with the highest frequency Mutable energies that are embedded in the mix - but dormant if not evoked and activated.

Cultural Patterns in the Cycle of Mutable Neptune

 The Mutable Neptune Cycle

At late stage Neptune in Pisces we ought to have some grasp of another slippery era in a mutable sign for this powerfully confusing planet

The most recent mutable periods for Neptune

Gemini         1889-1902 - 13 years

Virgo           1928-1943 - 15 years

Sagittarius   1970-1984 - 14 years

Pisces          2011-2025 - 14 years

A rule of thumb to keep in mind: 

that Fixed signs precede the Mutable and Cardinal signs follow Mutables - and on that basis expect to see the flow from a Fixed sign Neptune era flow into the expressions that arise in the Mutable - and that key themes arising in the Mutable period will merge with what emerges in the Cardinal transit

An example: Neptune in Taurus prior to the last Neptune in Gemini saw occult  [Scorpio-Taurus ] interests merge with the mysticism and magic era under Gemini.

Neptune in Gemini 1889-1902

The 1890s serve as an excellent snapshot for mutable Neptune.

Aside from social issues like crime and drug use and creative signifiers like the mainstreaming of photography through wider public access and the development of the moving picture camera - very Neptune in Gemini - we can expect some weird ideas to have floated around -and yes they did - but not as weird as in the 2020s

Ideas under Gemini led to the influential Rider Waite Tarot being released in 1909 following the more occult-oriented Neptune in Taurus era which stimulated fixed sign expressions through Neptune

Outpourings of what arises under a particular sign

 extend in a flow beyond the exact dating of the transit

 -creating an overlap and seeding of ideas into the subsequent period

Blogger Tene Hreno loves to post about the 1890s - and along with period illustrations she has listed some of what fits the weird tag: these tend to reveal Neptune in Taurus activating the Aquarian obsession with electric things and the drug and chemistry focus under Mutable Neptune

Cocaine and Heroin sold as everyday medicines

Coca Cola "brain tonic"

Tapeworm weight loss plan

The chin-reducer gadget

The cure-all electric corset

The electric hair restorer

Wafers laced with arsenic

Neptune in Virgo 1928-1943 following on from earlier Fixed Leo that held sway as dark forces seeking dominance -the zeitgeist became attached to eugenics and racial purity along with building a super-race through healthy physical exercise. Most of that Nazi ideology was weird and evil - even the exercise activities were very regimented.

Naomi Klein in Doppelganger [2023] has unintentionally provided such a case study of Neptune that I have been able to reference some examples here as well as writing a dedicated Neptune post.

Klein says there was also a push to promote healthy exercise in the US during the Depression era -the creation of National Parks for hiking and general health benefits and building of swimming pools reflect the Sagittarian and Pisces aspects of Neptune while in Virgo

Purity of thought demanded by wartime totalitarian ideology tends to put people under the scrutiny of everyday spies pressured to work for the regime

Modest and plain scrimping and saving re-use and recycling as well as home-made would have been encouraged in many parts of the world during the early 1930s Great Depression and extending into the late 1930s outbreak of World War 2 and enduring during the war period up to the mid 1940s.

Many sacrifices happened in the Virgo period -lives lifestyles livelihood -immense suffering -a very cruel period

credit: Profilerastro

Neptune in Sagittarius 1970-1984

Many born under this transit will be featuring in protest and alternative networks that have come to the fore under Neptune in Pisces 2011-2025 

Escapist beliefs and philosophies as well as the freedom flag flew highest in this period -travel adventure expansion beyond known boundaries. Drugs alcohol and gurus - "turn on tune in drop out" was a famous slogan adopted in pursuit of a way of being that wasn't attached to the system -along with the pursuit of nirvana through higher consciousness in far off lands like India [no guarantees offered]

The Beatles in the late 1960s while Neptune transited Scorpio [metaphysical-mystical themes] led the way with stoner songs like Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds and their Yellow Submarine album -several of the album songs used a Neptunian keyword -sea or sub

The fitness craze of the 1980s also acquired a beauty factor says Klein in Doppelganger. This is when mutable Neptune flowed into Cardinal Neptune - under Capricorn the Libran body beautiful urge came to the fore as a very viable business compatible with Sagittarian body fitness.

Klein explains in a referenced* explanation that our idealistic dreams and philosophies for society were dashed by neoliberalism  - and so people - firstly women then men - responded by utilising their most personal of assets - their looks -to gain a survivalist edge. The vision then [under Neptune in Cardinal Capricorn] became about controlling what you can control - things involving your body and its appearance.

It's important to note that Neptunian freedom differs from Jupiterian freedom: Neptune in Sagittarius is at risk of being delusional or illusory. 

The essence of freedom has far more of an actual basis when expressed through Jupiter

Neptune in Pisces 2011-2025 occurs in a different millennium as well as a different century but still carries through the strands and themes of prior mutable periods infused with the fixed sign that preceded each.

As noted under Sagittarius -the arrival of Neptune in Pisces has taken many of that Neptunian generation to a new level of wacko -reminding us that the mutable cycle especially the squares will produce some significant resistance from people who reject the current program -whatever is mandated or mainstreamed or government policy that appears to threaten mutable values [freedom choice ] or is suspected of being malign/dictatorial becomes a target for minds with a big imagination and already carrying a loss of trust of  Big Brother [Daddy basically] All of this came to a head of course during the 2020+ Covid pandemic and has become itself firmly structured within online communities [thankyou Aquarius] and the structure does not look likely to dissolve quickly...the main focus though will shift to other hotbeds of conspiracy that some will insist upon until they arrive at their grave.

The early new millennium has absorbed Neptune in Aquarius 1998-2011 [addiction to technology] as a lead into how Pisces manifests in roughly one eighth of this century -flowing into Neptune's Cardinal period signified under Aries from 2025.

Has life on planet Earth ever been this bad? 

Morally ethically in terms of godlessness probably no. 

Such is our tech-focussed Earth-abusive global culture

War Economy Stalled Growth Poverty Tight Budgeting are a reality for many globally in contrast to the lives of the wealthy class.

Behaviour within the human collective is riddled with dysfunction despair and discord: we aren't doing well following outdated past century models. Clearly the demands of Pluto in Capricorn require significant accountability and refashioning of societal structures - as will arise as Pluto in Aquarius increasingly rolls out over 2 more decades - but Neptune's role - soon in Aries - 2025 - until the mid 2030s and while in tight sextile to Pluto -functions in necessary support of Pluto's transformative agenda

But first we need to learn well from Neptune in Pisces sextile Pluto in Capricorn which was tight for several months in 2023: the ultimate lesson being applying the maturity principle to all of Pisces' wayward behaviours - ideally many would have received the message of restraint  withdrawal detox limits to the point of professional help if needed.

Our devices are extremely addictive -Aquarius meets Pisces under the rays of Neptune. Apps social media gaming and pornography are in many ways a toxic recipe arguably designed to use control and data-mine us whatever the collateral damage -deterioration in mental health body issues like obesity eating disorders bodily self hatred and social dysfunctions like loss of direct connection with people and diminished communication skills are distress signals. 

We weren't designed for the digital life. Early adopters are guinea pigs in a plan unfolded that apparently wants to rush us into some degree of transhumanism - a modern species with digital implants. This plan also involves the eradication of gender as purely a status at birth. Chosen gender with surgical and pharmaceutical alterations is also an Aquarian notion devised under a Neptunian in Aquarius vision and the momentum has flowed into Neptune in Pisces.

Humanity is riddled with addiction and escapism of multiple kinds in the Pisces period. No ideal society - a Neptune in Aquarius concept - has come through - in fact more the reverse due to the formation of groups with very intense agendas doing battle with each other -socially and politically.

Humanity has not -2 years away from the end of Neptune's Pisces transit - found peace harmony compassion empathy to any globally impactful degree. Should there be further degeneration instead of awakening the Cardinal period ahead will merge with much accumulated distress and dysfunction.

Some light is evident in small communities where natural disasters have devastated lives and lifestyles. The old saying applies -such events can bring out the best in people and the worst in people.

Is is major devastation that will save humans from ourselves? Will we need to be shocked out of our ignorance and selfish competitive individualism?

The odds in respect of that seem high.

In 2025

Neptune in Aries bringing Cardinal emphasis from 2025 while closely aspected to Pluto in Aquarius is capable of instilling much more collective responsibility graciousness shared support and a dissolving of the separate selfish ego - not suddenly and overwhelmingly but eventually - as a recognised necessity.

Expect a sustained period of events that demand collective cooperation at grassroots and small community levels -due to the collapse of various forms of infrastructure -both built and societal/managerial systems that have reached their terminal date under Pluto in Capricorn -demanding a mountain of restoration to be addressed but no fast fixes on offer.

2020 astrological calendar

A calendar view of 2020 will be posted month by month. Though not a typical day by day account of our solar system in transit, this view aims to highlight standout periods of significant energy giving a visual guide to the time frames when focus can be applied to the meaning and opportunity behind the event.
2020 is an important year in reinforcing Cardinal sign values: accountability responsibility care protection and how we relate to the world through Aries Libra Cancer & Capricorn.
In 2020 3 outer planets will be in the last degrees of Capricorn. Jupiter and Saturn go the full 30°. Pluto just to 25°. When Jupiter Saturn and Pluto are in the 20-30° range in Capricorn the earth energy of the Virgo decanate influences Capricorn expression. Keywords and activities related to Virgo include the work ethic, health hygiene diet nutrition, sorting organising cleaning tidying categories and classifications, critiques and criticism, analysis and research, comparison and difference, separateness simplicity plainness modesty... the Amish way. Virgo energy needs management when hypercritical of self and others and when perfectionist or seeking extreme purification. Eugenics and racial superiority are expressions of this. The extreme side of sorting or cleansing is often seen in obsessive rituals and autism spectrum behaviours.
Moon declination is noted as an amplifying force when at extreme North South and over the equator.

Stations of outer planets are noted with an orb of expanded energy surrounding the date of exact station.
Solar-lunar events full new moons and eclipses are noted
Outer planet aspects and sign changes noted.
Periods of multiple outer planet retrogrades and when all 5 outers are direct are noted.

JANUARY 2020 CALENDAR
 Emphasis occurs in the period 7th-13th.
Multiple factors clustering around  eclipse date Jan 10 (Universal Time) show this is a period of highly activated forces. Landscape shifting - literally metaphorically politically. Major restructuring in hierarchies of power.  A critical and historic period in laying the groundwork and foundations for transformative approaches in politics business corporates and banking. - and in the expression of patriarchal power.

Addendum:
In some places a much greater shift towards authoritarian and dictatorial governments and corporate power but where possible there will be resistance and reformation demanded
Purification and perfectionist agendas have returned as in the 1930s across Europe but now in diverse nations East and West including within major world powers
Polarised politics reflect the ongoing intense struggle for humanitarian conditions of life across the planet.

2019 Zodiac Astrology in a nutshell

The astrological signs are usefully sorted into groupings that have matching types of expression and this method helps to show what similar themes apply in 2019 for related signs
If you want a global perspective on 2019 a detailed forecast is posted on this site

In this forecast the zodiac Sun Signs are presented in their groups CARDINAL FIXED and MUTABLE

 and their shared group themes are revealed

The Cardinal group is Aries Libra Cancer Capricorn

In 2019 all these signs are unusual in that they are all dealing significantly with cardinal issues. Cardinal issues are those that involve:

•  working on your personal style of self expression or personality
• improving how you function in relating to others especially private relationships
• dealing with career issues, matters of true calling or vocation
• focussing on family, roots, the meaning and function of home

All of these are on the table for cardinal signs in 2019 -for many this is a continuation lasting several years. All that differs is the degree of emphasis of the cardinal themes and where additional influences - Jupiter, Uranus Neptune and Pluto - play out:

• Aries is likely to be pulled towards living, studying or travelling overseas with an emphasis on seeking retreat. Money/income changes/unstable. A lot of personal change needed. Partnerships have less of a focus. Habits and expectations around survival needs undergo major change.
• Libra has a home and family/parenting focus. Personal and partnership needs hard to cater for. Resources/assets undergo unexpected changes. Health is weakened. Digestion especially weak/sensitive. Service work or volunteering is a positive expression. Contact with foreign language - perhaps a new study. Habits and expectations around survival needs undergo major change.
• Cancer has an emphasis on the challenges in partnerships & these can cause issues re home/location and career. Friendships affected by change -new beginning, some ending. Spiritual study or travel, better healthcare and nutrition are all beneficial. Habits and expectations around survival needs undergo major change.
• Capricorn is required to do a lot of personal growth regarding self expression, self management -switching away from controlling others to controlling self. Less energy for home, family, career. Personal retreats/going within and reading spiritual self help are all beneficial. Relationships with children, lovers are changeable. Try to find a new creative outlet. Habits and expectations around survival needs undergo major change.

The Fixed group is Taurus Scorpio Leo Aquarius
In 2019 all these signs are dealing significantly with mutable issues. In addition points are made regarding  where other important influences - Jupiter, Uranus Neptune and Pluto - play out:

Mutable issues are change/adaptation/movement conditions that involve:

• the mind - how it functions and grows, thought patterns, ideas, beliefs, mental patterns

With a strong mutable effect the fixed [stubborn, rigid, obsessive] signs are being pressured to become more easy going, tolerant, educated, lateral, laid-back, accepting, forgiving through making changes to their conscious and subconscious ways of thinking.

• Taurus has a strong emphasis on mind expansion drawn from overseas experiences or with other nationalities at home or the energy can be used through higher education/spiritual studies. Demands of work and health may conflict with these goals. A change of personality is on offer to shift you from old attachments and values.  Habits, behaviours and expectations around relating in general undergo major change. Becoming a community volunteer and finding greater empowerment from esoteric explorations and sexual intimacy are all beneficial options.
• Scorpio is mostly asked to transform through you  altering your everyday communication style -making sure any overbearing, domineering and controlling traits are corrected . If obsessive, vengeful and destructive thinking takes hold help should be sought as it truly is time to continue the process of making your mind more healthy. Try to channel mental energy into reading, writing and education. Work and health are areas of challenge during 2019. Relationships are set to be unconventional and or unstable. Financially a good year. Romantic energy may best be put on hold and be used in an imaginative creative outlet. A compassionate role with children is a beneficial option. Habits, behaviours and expectations around relating in general undergo major change
• Leo has a strong continued emphasis on service types of employment and health matters. This issue could conflict with any travel plans and educational options. Changes are sustained in the career sector -new goals or discovery of a true calling. Involvement in charity or philanthropy is beneficial. Romance, creativity and children are focus areas all offering potential growth and positivity. Habits, behaviours and expectations around relating in general undergo major change.
• Aquarius is best focussed on retreating from the world -whether by choice or through forced circumstances such as health. Changes in the home and or family circumstances are indicated. Travel with friends or to be in a group is very beneficial for learning and growth. Money and assets can be much less significant as part of this withdrawal towards a greater spiritual emphasis. Habits, behaviours and expectations around relating in general undergo major change.

The Mutable group is Gemini Sagittarius Virgo Pisces
In 2019 all these signs are dealing significantly with Fixed issues. In addition points are made regarding  where other important influences - Jupiter, Uranus Neptune and Pluto - play out.
Fixed issues are those that involve:

• survival: this will be faced in the context of any or many of the following aspects of daily life - financial position, income, assets, resources, personal power/self empowerment, charisma/attractiveness, love and attention, feeling of being supported through networks of friends or contacts or community in general

• Gemini - changes regarding resources previously shared with others or gained through others can become a factor propelling you towards the responsibility for accumulating greater personal resources. Personal empowerment or charisma needs to be developed now. Fixed ideas around love and attention need to be revised. You are on the path towards making meaningful spiritual contributions to the world at large. Changes in the subconscious clear away obstructions. Best growth area in 2019 is through partnerships and an overseas factor could be in that mix. Issues around love and friendship are being resolved in order to reap the relating benefits.
• Virgo will develop most in areas involving areas of creative expression such as love affairs, children and the arts. A big emphasis on overseas is noted  -coming either through travel, study, home relocation. Beneficial energies also relate to expanding the home or family and through having a spiritual [not boozy or druggy] partnership -such as a teacher-student interchange. Fixed mental patterns involving control, power, jealousy, revenge need to be revised.
• Sagittarius has a big focus on material and financial assets and how to manage and transform them. Living by water or in a spiritual environment is beneficial. A very positive year of freedom adventure, success and personal growth. Changes in health and health routines, nutrition/diet are all worth exploring. Routine work situations also subject to change. Fixed beliefs involving freedom  and independence need to be revised.
• Pisces has a big focus on friendships, networks, communities, expanded contacts. Personal expression continues to move towards more spiritual compassionate responses to the world in general. Fixed mental patterns are subject to significant change. Career or true calling is very positively linked to overseas or people of other nationalities

Avicii -the Outer vs Tim Bergling the Inner

The death of successful DJ Avicii reveals the mismatch between the public world in which he achieved fame -and the private nature of

 Tim Bergling

Born 8 September 1989 Tim Bergling was zodiac sign Virgo - which is associated with hardworking perfectionists as well as those who apply this focus to being physically perfect on the inside through special diets and nutritional supplements.

Virgo is opposite Pisces in the zodiac and both are in the same group as Gemini and Sagittarius = the Mutable group which are known for a lot of thinking and contemplation as well as searching for ideals and the meaning of life.

Looking at Tim's birthday [full chart not accessible so this is not a complete profile] the planets Mercury and Neptune are important due to their association with Virgo and Pisces.

Mercury was 10 Libra

Neptune 9 Capricorn

and it is clear that other planets link to these closely

Saturn 7 Capricorn

Jupiter 7 Cancer

Libra Capricorn and Cancer all belong to the Cardinal group. This group has the lesson of learning through relating, relationships with significant others, relating to family, relating to society in general - and the relationship a person has with themself - knowing how to self-nurture, be self aware, meet personal needs, knowing what you need and how to achieve it.

For Tim Bergling this aspect of functioning was difficult due to a struggle in balancing out the conflicting relating needs shown by Saturn and Neptune in Capricorn [dream career] being at odds with being able to nurture himself.

Saturn and Neptune together brought him not only the dream job for someone who loves music - an international following as a DJ, but Saturn and Neptune are also incompatible on the level of the business world of music [Saturn] versus the nurturing private world [Neptune]. Tim Bergling gave so much emphasis to Saturn that his Neptune needs could not be adequately met, leading to great distress.

This quote from his family captures the issues precisely

In 2018 Tim Bergling was at the point of life all of us meet in our late 20's. This is the first major life turning point marked by Saturn, [astrologer's know this as the Saturn Return] a time when the shift into more socially acceptable adult choices is activated in people's minds.

Some people choose this time for marriage or parenthood or career advancement. 

In 2018 we know Saturn reached 7 Capricorn and was exact on Tim's birth position of Saturn by the start of March.

For him this return of Saturn would have activated all the stresses pressures and conflicts inherent in his soul over career versus deeper personal needs.

It is deeply sad that being somebody in this contemporary world is so often incompatible with the true expression of sensitive seekers who are much more at home with the divine.

We need to honour the inner world and return to the grace and elegance of being our natural selves.

Who's Who ? Zodiac Roulette at the White House

Gemini Trump is the House

All the rest are merely players

And many there are

Too many to fully know

But a cast of characters is required to let the opera be staged

Michael Wolff's Fire and Fury inside the Trump White House delivered a dazzling ensemble 

of Who's Who at a certain point in time

 in this swiftly moving feast. 
Updated notes will be compulsory 

in order to keep abreast of the dizzying pace

 of cast alterations due to those who have jumped ship or been turfed overboard - 
but more importantly to those readers 
outside the Beltway

 a Gallery is of use to show at least most of those
 who got most mentions in FFITWH 
[which untangles as WTF!? ] 

plus a few recent cast members who have arisen 

after the book's publication.

March 17 2018

In the photo panels below

• A Large Red X indicates either resigned fired [ or dead in the case of Roger Ailes] 

• Possibly of no use at all is that where known, the zodiac sign of the character is used as their forename. 
• [in 3 instances forename Secret applied where birth date not freely available] 

As A Serious Astrologer, mere Sun signs are not the usual diet of The Profiler - but they can identify basic compatibilities or the reverse - as seen when Aries Tillerson [clashing with Trump's Cancer planets ] was fired and replaced by a more compatible Capricorn Pompeo.]
In fact this cast of characters does not feature one Cancer -but all other signs have come or gone.

Going by the cast of prominent characters the most politically oriented sign Capricorn still has the edge in this fraught environment - and Gemini is of course looked upon with some degree of grace.

Of course author Virgo Wolff has to be brought to task for stating in Chapter 13 that :
"So when they did win, by the fluke alignment of the stars for Donald Trump..."
as there are no fluke alignments. 
An accurately timed birth chart is all that is needed to trace the rises and falls over a lifetime.
Confusion over Hillary Clinton's birth time and mixed indicators for both her and Trump made it impossible to make a strong prediction in 2016. As it turned out both had "wins" but January 2017 having transit Saturn capturing a lot of Trump's energy was consistent with the new level of responsibility -which manifested and was set in stone at the Inauguration.
Without top quality data, politics is too complex for an astrologer to call consistently well.

As there's no likelihood of getting a full set of data for the transient cast only the chart for the boss himself is included for reference.

September 2017 New Moon in Virgo

This New Moon brings big flavours of Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune into the mix.

scroll to end for regular updates

Typically a basic Virgo New Moon will see issues that reflect the flow and organisation around jobs, employment, workplaces = the tasks that feed the machine-like function of society - as well as the flow and organisation of your internal system in respect of what feeds your biological system: so matters of health, diet, nutrition are more likely to arise in the lunar period starting from a few days before 20 September - until the approach to the New Moon of 19 October 2017.

New Moon exact in Auckland with connected energies

But every luminary event has its own signature, no two are alike so attention is drawn to what other transient energies are caught up in the flow of energy from the Sun and Moon as captured when the exact phase occurs.

Early triggering before exactitude is as common as events occurring on or after exactitude -it depends which other connected energy comes into position and adds weight and flavour to an outcome.

With multiple factors in the range 21-27 degrees activation of the event themes can start as early as one of the planets reaching 19 or 20 degrees -then right through to 28-29. 

For example, in September 2017 the Sun reached 19 degrees Virgo on the 11th and increased its typical one degree per day, joining Saturn at 21 degrees on the 14th. 

On September 20 the sun reaches 27 Virgo, then joined by the Moon and both reaching Uranus and Chiron at 27 degrees.

Four factors at one degree position are all connected, irrespective of their different zodiac signs.

27 degrees is a position that triggers an angle at 12 degrees. Neptune holds this position.

What does this mean?

• This is a euphoric energy for many & a suffering moon for many.
• Many affected, either advanced or disadvantaged
• Multiple factors in mutable energy indicate very changing, unpredictable, fluid conditions.

[Hurricane Maria in the Caribbean at Cat 5 on Sept 19 ]

• Network flows are affected: within the body; in transport systems - as the roads and tracks represent the rivers on land. And sea routes, and sky paths are all potentially implicated 

[update Sept 20 - Auckland several recent road incidents/crashes/injuries including college students mown down ]

[Saturn in Sagittarius affects transport flow being restricted]

Neptune is the water element showing some locations globally will literally get significant water effects.

Neptune energy can also be expressed through fluids, gases, oils and fuel

[no surprise Auckland began to experience a significant fuel crisis on September 19]

Jupiter and Uranus in tight opposition began merging closer from Sept 16 and remain at 2 degrees offset at the New Moon.

These two are like a pair of wild stallions each trying to outdo each other as they gallop together, harnessed and pulling a wagon-load.[we are the wagon load]

[ two political leaders battling to win the race come to mind]

They are contributing a lot of volatile energy, changing conditions, instability, recklessness, this could flip into wanton disregard for the responsibility involved in hauling their transport.

This combination also creates high risk of transport/traffic accidents 

Take extra care and avoid anyone driving like a wild horse.

Neptune's exact opposition to Mercury creates confused states of mind, distraction,  -or functioning under the influence of Neptunian addictive/toxic substances -drugs, alcohol.

It also can dispose people to deceit, lies, fantasy, overblown imagination

[eg politicians accused of all these excesses in campaign period]

The wild horses who lose control will likely have consumed something that impairs judgement, be sleep deprived, or will be in a vague, confused, inattentive or mentally overloaded state - all likely precursors to unsafe operation of any form of transport.

With the NZ general election just days after exact New Moon = new cycle, new beginning - the flavours will morph into that scenario and express in relevant ways - Neptune can manifest as: confusion regarding the outcome is possible; fraud/deceit or illegal voting detected, hopes wishes and visions for a caring society fulfilled or simply a state of mental mush, being unable to comprehend what happens.

The Sun-Moon-Uranus-Jupiter-Chiron effect in the election contest shows one the one hand the euphoric [Jupiter] victors starting a new job and experiencing a sudden change of life circumstances and the flip side of the same coin - those who are ousted, also facing a sudden change of lifestyle & feeling wounded. [Chiron]

Some fortunes will reverse in the course of vote-counting.

These are the outcomes in the contests with clear election night results.

Those that are too close to call due to uncounted special votes may linger in the Neptunian fog for some days.

The triumphant Party could also be sitting in the fog -undetermined at night's end in the strong Neptunian energy latches onto this event.

For the bulk of society - outside of politics - try to avoid the pitfalls of Neptune -substances that impair the mind. Look after your health by beginning a new diet, new nutrition. 

If starting a new job make sure your contract is clear before signing -errors, miscommunication are also a significant risks all month.

Take extra care when operating any form of transport -road, rail, sea, air.

eyes of the triple storms

There's a lot going on in this lunar month - lots happening, situations changing rapidly, even reversing -stuff to make your head spin - matching the hurricanes in the Caribbean -  -and as always certain people are more affected -all relative to your own personal energies and how they match up with the current patterns.

The 27 degree position = extremes
Extreme forces are forecast. September has already shown extreme weather events within the first 3 week period and the energy for this will remain in effect for vulnerable zones due to retriggering.
27 degrees has environmental consequences in terms of significant disturbances in earth's atmosphere.
When an accumulation of energies fall in the range 25-29 degrees they synergise around the midpoint 27.
27 is significant due to 27 Sagittarius being the current -and extremely slow-moving - position of the Galactic Centre - the rotational centre of our Milky Way galaxy, where a super-massive Black Hole exists.
The centre has qualities which interestingly mimic the sun:
On 5 January 2015, NASA reported observing an X-ray flare 400 times brighter than usual, a record-breaker, from Sagittarius A. The unusual event may have been caused by the breaking apart of an asteroid falling into the black hole or by the entanglement of magnetic field lines within gas flowing into Sagittarius A, according to astronomers -source Wikipedia also NASA

-the ability to produce X-flares and the presence of entangled magnetic field lines are both events that occur on the Sun.

Prior observations by the blog author have noted major environmental events clustering when there is a significant energy build-up on or closely around the 27 degree position or on/around its trigger angle 12 degrees especially if a prior eclipse or new moon/full moon inhabits those degrees [Aceh tsunami 26-12-2004; Christchurch quake 22-2-2011; Japan nuclear events & 2011 tsunami; Galveston Hurricane of 1900 ; September 2017 hurricanes  & a dedicated post Extreme Weather from the Galactic Centre]

So extreme weather including wind, rain, flood, seismic unrest with tsunami have all been observed along with human generated extremes when planets cluster on or close to the 27 or 12 degrees positions and this may reflect a resonance with the 27 degree position of the galactic centre.

Multiple Mass Evacuations
Mass evacuations of people have been particularly noticeable in the period under the influence of the August 21st 29 degree total solar eclipse [effective period August 2017-February 2018]
The mass departure of Rohingya muslims from Burma to Bangladesh
Mass evacuation from Florida USA to flee Hurricane Irma
Evacuations in Puerto Rico due to Hurricane Maria
Caribbean evacuations
Mass evacuation in Bali due to Mt Agung volcano erupting
This phenomenon of masses of people in movement due to forced abandonment of their home/lifestyle due to a severe environmental or societal threat has been observed before in the effective period of a major solar-lunar event which is positioned in the range of 25-29 degrees
Prior examples posted on this site involved earthquake/tsunami events occurred in Japan and New Zealand in February-March 2011 after the December 2010 total lunar eclipse at 29 degrees


updates 20 Sept 8.03am NZT

A destructive mag 7.1 quake near Mexico City now adds to the force of Hurricane Maria in play in the Caribbean during this high risk time frame.

two large quakes -11 days apart

These events follow the sequence of total eclipse, full moon and approaching New Moon -and the sun unexpectedly emitted large X-flares disturbing earth's geomagnetic field - all these events contained in a four week time frame and all bore signatures of earth-impacting energies
During this period the most high profile environmental events already have been multiple hurricanes in the Caribbean, now 2 large quakes in Mexico...and the new lunar month is just beginning.
Events in doubles and triples have arisen
The Jupiter-Uranus opposition is the one to watch in this current context - the struggle for balance, readjustment..energy realigning..has been featured before in big quakes.
Meanwhile the nuclear option remains on the table due to North Korean missile testing provoking global alarm..and USA's Trump threatening to "totally destroy" North Korea

Mexico September 19 2017 and Christchurch New Zealand Feb 22 2011
There are significant energetic resonances between these two major earthquakes.

Mexico has occurred in the extended activation period after the 29 Leo total solar eclipse .
Christchurch occurred with multiple factors [Mercury, Mars, Neptune & Chiron at the polar opposite position 28-29 Aquarius, with Uranus combining at 29 Pisces, nodes at 29/0  - and following the 29 Leo full moon.
This intensity of mathematical clustering is regularly encountered in major events

August-September 2017 and the cluster from 25-29/0
Total solar eclipse and critical cluster on 21st set the template for following 6 months -ready to be reactivated as other factors reach those critical degrees

Sept 20 2.42pm M5 quake in seabed shakes central New Zealand - including the capital city Wellington, seat of parliament

Very quakey time
Quakes widespread in the M4.5 range up to M7.1 in the week to Sept 21

Very volcanic time
a cluster of event warnings around New Moon
-a string of volcanoes in imminent eruptive phase

Very Crazy time
With Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un -  hurling annihilation threats

Pluto
Pluto emphasises issues around sex, death, self-transformation and use/abuse of power. 
For some people one or more of these issues will be more significant in the period Sept 22-Oct 6 2017

• With Pluto in a stationary direct phase..virtually still.. in the days Sept 22-Oct 6 2017 -this enhances all other intense factors. In society this impacts the political arena and raises problems with inadequate or failing infrastructure.

• On an interpersonal level bullies are prone to behaving worse, power abuse is something needing to be challenged, disempowerment needs to be worked on.
• 
  
• An opportunity for all of us to adopt the wise choice, respond as an adult...not as a wounded child

Remember that New or Full Moon themes begin days before exact and are potentially active for the lunar month until the next sun-moon event.
Other planets coming into an activating position in relationship to the sun-moon positions will usually create outward expressions of one or more of the themes.

October updates

Jupiter-Uranus extremes

These two planets remain in tight to exact opposition in the period Sept 24-Oct 2. in this period extremes of aggressive behaviour have impacted masses of people.

Both of these events occurred on October 1st:

• in Las Vegas USA where dozens of innocent citizens were killed, over 500 injured by a lone gun man 
•  and in Spain where up to 900 now reported injured by Spanish police when Catalonians carried out an independence referendum

Jupiter in Libra and Uranus in Aries in opposition reveal extreme imbalances in the way many people relate. From very passive to very aggressive. From moderation to aggression. A sudden flip.

Under this influence sudden eruptive violence is high risk.
