• Assad falls – a shift in the great power game

    The tectonic plates in the great power game are shifting on cue with the outer planet transitions and an October Solar Eclipse pointing to a time of completion and separation from the past.  The fall of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is marked in the date of the original military coup which brought his repressive father to power on 13 November 1970. That happened with Neptune at zero degrees Sagittarius and Pluto at 29 Virgo. The Assad Dynasty born on a change, dies on a change, albeit a
  • James Bond – Barbara Broccoli defending his honour

    James Bond fans will be chewing their fingernails at the delays over their next favourite movie as producer Barbara Broccoli and Amazon, the new owners of MGM, appear to be at a standoff.  Old school versus the algorithm generation don’t appear to be a good mix with no sign of a script or replacement for Daniel Craig in the offing. Barbara Broccoli, 18 June 1960 9.55am Santa Monica, California, who took over the franchise when her father Cubby died three decades back, is a confid
  • Ariane Grande – a fairy tale gone sour

    Ariane Grande’s tumultuous love life strewn with a series of short-lived flings and a recent two year marriage followed by a divorce has managed to wreck another marriage. Co-star of her recent movie Wicked Ethan Slater left his childhood sweetheart, wife of several years and mother of his months’ old baby, to hook up with her. She was born 26 June 1993 9.15pm Boca Raton, Florida, and has a hard-working 6th house Cancer Sun square an easy-going Moon Jupiter in her 9th.

  • Gaza – the end of times with no respite

    The mind-numbing stories from Gaza of a starving, traumatized population in mid winter, described by an Oxfam director as “apocalyptic” with no help in sight from an international community seemingly incapable of taking action is a sobering indictment of the times. The Israeli liberal newspaper Haaretz, now sanctioned by the Netanyahu government, relates stories from IDF soldiers about civilians, even children, being treated as combatants. ‘The regime of arbitrary, even competi

  • Blakey Lively & Justin Baldoni – Virgo Scorpio clash

    The fallout from the doomed domestic violence movie It Ends with Us rolls on with Blake Lively making accusations against her former co-star/director Justin Baldoni, filing a legal complaint claiming sexual harassment and making allegations of a coordinated PR effort to damage her reputation. What is astro-intriguing are two coincidences.  One is that she was born 25 August 1987 5.07am Tarzana, California.

    The battle of the egos between Elon Musk and Trump has not so far incurred any noticeable damage to their bro-romance. Though Musk’s $250 million contribution to the Trump campaign with an eye to more in the future no doubt plays a part. The recent kerfuffle over the spending deal had led some to conclude that Musk could be used as a effective weapon to pressure Congress and be a scapegoat for any backlash. Musk born 28 June 1971 7.30 am (biography) Pretoria, South Africa, has a Cance

    Mexico in the full line of Trump’s wrath over immigrants and drugs could not be more star-crossed if their meeting was ruled by Kali, the goddess of destruction. Mexico, 15 September 1810 11 pm Dolores Hidalgo, has Trump’s Uranus sitting on its Ascendant, causing disruptions to its image, and square its 10th house Pluto shaking up its control on power and direction.

    All eyes are on Russia with the upcoming Saturn Neptune conjunction, a marker of the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution, of Stalin’s death in 1953 and the break up of the USSR in 1990. If the same astro-pattern holds good then Saturn overtaking Neptune will be the crucial period which means mid 2026 to early 2027. That coincides with flags on several of the related charts. The Russia 8 December 1991 7.45pm Moscow chart, has a ‘shocking’, explosive, insecure Solar Arc Mars conj

  • Canada 2025 – facing Trump’s threat

    Canada is in political turmoil as Trump, the great disruptor, throws a spoiler into the mix with his promised 25% tariff on all goods and services, causing the Deputy Prime Minister to resign saying that Justin Trudeau was not up to the job of confronting aggressive “America-first” economic nationalism.  Trudeau’s popularity was already plummeting and the blunt accusations from Chrystia Freeland, long seen as an ally, may well the tipping point which pushes him out. Though

    Matt Goss is back in the UK after an 11 year solo Vegas residency talking sadly of the estrangement from his twin brother Luke, formerly part of the teen sensation Bros in the late 1980s. They were the biggest band in Britain, peroxide bombshells in leather jackets with eight Top 10 singles. Then they split acrimoniously since apparently, Luke was jealous that Matt got more attention. They reformed for a 2016 London concert, the subject of a documentary in which the brothers scream at one anothe

    An elemental shift from Earth Water to Air Fire in 2025 and beyond will pose challenges for the USA’s stellium in Cancer. Cancer dislikes letting go, tends to airbrush the past, gets overly defensive when criticized, tends to be conservative and traditional in outlook and views detached Aquarius as a liberally-minded rebel and a threat to family togetherness.  In Sun sign astrology, Pluto into Aquarius will be moving through Cancer’s 8th house of economy and finances.
