Well, a saviour from Ontario fixed this blog — thank you John! Still, this has happened twice since Blue Host took over. So keep my address: suningem@gmail.com.

Mercury retrograde ends Friday (afternoon, PDT). So, by Friday onward we can start new projects, relationships and situations. But remember, nothing new before March 20!

Several months ago I wrote here that there will be stronger military action, and that the ocean would be vital, the biggest influence militarily, for 13 more years. Trump’s bombing of drug boats in the Caribbean, and now The Strait of Hormuz and the oil panic, are the first salvoes.
WEEKLY FORECAST:
ARIES: March 21-April 19
This is your last week of relative solitude, rest, and low energy, Aries. Now through June, think about upgrading your domain — rent a better place, or decorate, new furniture, or sell and buy — find a new neighbourhood! Also a great 3 months to sculpt and ensure a good future for your kids — scholarship plans, etc. You might have to deal with the gov’t this month and early April — be diplomatic! You’ll be happy Sunday to late afternoon Monday (PDT) — your popularity rises mildly, friends and social things attract your attention. Sunday better, as Monday is disruptive, others act unpredictably. Retreat, Monday suppertime to Wed. night. Lie low, rest, contemplate, seek advice and liaise with gov’t or management types. Your desire for a new home might be answered (or echoed) Tuesday — an ad? Wednesday’s smooth, fortunate. Your energy returns late Wednesday night through Friday — not only the Moon, but the Sun also enters Aries. And the retro is ending. This is the start of a powerful month, Aries! Saturday’s for shopping, collecting $ owed, casual sex and book learning.
TAURUS: April 20-May 20
This is your last week of social joys and general happiness, Taurus. Enjoy it, as Friday begins a month of quietude, rest, recuperation, and planning. Your charisma will ebb a little, so avoid competitive personal situations. A whole suitcase full of paperwork, messages and messaging, and short trips awaits you — no, has already arrived, and stays till early April. Don’t toss these apparently superficial tasks aside, as they can lead to good fortune, perhaps a financial windfall, good investment, or sexy hook-up over the next 14 weeks. Be ambitious Sun./Mon. — but expect at least one disruption (that could be a doorway to advancement — e.g., your warehouse floods, and you’re the first one to discover it and call the people who fix it, and the boss notices). There might be a person is your social sphere who befriends you but can also be a drag on your energy and/or freedom, this month and early April. Monday eve to Wednesday night (9 pm PDT) bring happiness, social joys, optimism — and maybe a climax in a love affair. Retreat from the bustling crowd, Wednesday night through Friday. Rest, contemplate, seek advice and begin to tentatively plan future projects. Your energy and charisma rise Saturday for a very successful weekend. You will impress someone Saturday!
GEMINI: May 21-June 20
A “testing phase” ends this week, Gemini. Hopefully, you’ve worked hard, have overcome disappointments and obstacles and not opted for laziness. Now, in a way, the reward(s) come: through June, you can make more money than you anticipate, maybe much more. And maybe from the same source that “cost” you recently. Bosses remain impatient yet friendly, temperamental yet forgiving, until April 9. Be diplomatic, keep your sense of humour. By week’s end, recent social contacts blossom, perhaps bring a celebration. This will start a whole month of optimism, popularity and flirting. A mellow, wise mood steals over you Sunday to late afternoon Monday. Themes include law, far travel, higher learning, media, and love. Not the easiest interval, so go slow, be forgiving. This month’s main theme, ambition and dealing with authorities, returns strongly Monday suppertime (PDT) to Wednesday night (9pm PDT). Good for all attempts, so charge ahead! The Moon enters Aries Wed. night and the Sun enters the same sign Friday morning. This sets up a month ahead, of happiness, social joys, optimism and light romance. But first you must go through a benevolent weekend of quietude, rest, and new ideas, new plans. A good week, with money opportunities.
CANCER: June 21-July 22
This is your last week of profound thinking, higher learning, travel, media, law and social rituals, love and philosophy, Cancer. A smooth, easy week. Now through June you can make great strides in employment, health, machinery and services to others. One of these might take you to foreign shores. Avoid lawsuits until after April 9 (unless you deal with the law or with gov’t, in which case this could be a busy, successful period in legalities). Don’t become adamant or forceful about your opinions. Bottom line, though, is you’re the luckiest member of the zodiac for the next 14 weeks, so go out and make your mark, claim your “place.” Bosses favour you the rest of March. (Realize your career sector faces huge, gradual changes for the decade + ahead.) Sunday to late afternoon Monday brings temptations, secrets and depths, esp. around sex and finances. Take care both days — disruption more likely than accomplishment. Monday suppertime to Wed. night (9 pm PDT) brings things mentioned in the first sentence above — dive in, as these are 3 great, productive days! Love, international travel quite possible. Be ambitious Thursday./Fri. — this interval promotes ambition, and starts 4 weeks of the same. Saturday starts a weekend of friends, social joys, optimism and flirting — enjoy!
LEO: July 23-Aug. 22
This is your last week of secrets, sexual and financial temptation, medical and lifestyle choices, Leo. It’s a smooth, easy week. (In truth, a slightly weaker streak of sexual and financial impulsiveness will last right into April 9.) Relationships, exciting meetings, opportunities and opposition face you Sunday/Monday — however, not much works, so go slowly. Re-read the first sentence above (“secrets,” etc.) — these factors peak Monday suppertime to 9 pm Wed. (PDT) — and very fortunately, so do dive in. Be honest, ethical, and you’ll win. (Something romantic is holding you back, has since last summer — a hint of this, and a glimpse of solution, freedom, Tuesday.) Thursday/Friday bring profound thoughts and feelings, love, higher learning, far travel, law, media — and set up the whole 4 weeks ahead for the same. This sector is slowly but deeply changing over the decade + ahead. Secrets and understanding will merge. Saturday starts a weekend of ambition, mingling with prestige people. All’s good! You can make a fortunate investment Saturday.
VIRGO: Aug. 23-Sept. 22
This is your last week of “open” relationship intensity, Virgo. By week’s end, you’ll start a month during which relationships slide behind a light curtain, to operate a bit in the shadows. Meanwhile, good stuff relates to relationships, relocation, opportunities and public dealings. (Starting Thursday, your dealings will be a bit quiet, secretive, not public.) Your biggest good fortune will blossom now to late June — in romance, creative or speculative projects, teaching children, sports/games, and pursuing pleasure and beauty. Single Virgos could fall in love, perhaps with someone a bit higher on the social/$ scale. Tackle chores Sunday to late afternoon Monday. But proceed carefully, esp. with driving, electricity or computers Monday. Exciting and benevolent relationships and opportunities blossom Monday night to 9 pm Wed. (PDT). If there is something from the past that you can pick up on here, do so: aspects spell s-u-c-c-e-s-s. (There might be a strong sexual or financial angle here.) Thursday/Friday bring secrets, heightened intuition, financial and sexual lures. Good — investigate, discover, prepare plans. You could change your life by degrees. All’s good. Friday begins a whole month of the same — investments, sex, pregnancy, medical and lifestyle choices. Mercury goes direct Friday, so the future will not be as tangled as the last few weeks. Saturday starts a weekend of pondering, gentle love.
LIBRA: Sept. 23-Oct. 22
This is your last week of chores, lower health, and boredom, Libra. Well, that’s not entirely true — Mars, your partnership planet, stays in this “chores” space until April 9. Could mean your work alongside your partner, or you have a co-worker affair. Your relationships change deeply over the next 13 years. Others treat you affectionately all March. Mercury retro ends Friday, so you can proceed with new projects and people. The biggest “news,” though, is that your ambitions now reach a blue-sky optimism and luck, through June. Go all out in pursuit of a promotion, or, if self-employed, to raise your profile. Sunday/Monday are romantic, creative, but without any real results. Just accept life. Those chores rush in Monday suppertime to Wednesday night (9 pm PDT) — but the aspects are so favourable that you can accomplish a satisfying pile. Thursday/Friday bring relationships, opportunities and opposition — not huge, but not small either. Friday starts an entire month of relationships, public appearances, relocation themes, opportunities and possible opposition. Both days (Thurs., Fri.) treat you fairly well. Saturday starts a weekend of mysteries, valuable knowledge, sexual and financial openings, medical and lifestyle decisions — a good weekend, so dive in! Display your unique talent Saturday, it will help your career.
SCORPIO: Oct. 23-Nov. 21
One last week of pleasure, beauty, sports/games, creative surges and romance, Scorpio, climaxing Monday to Wed. An easy week. Mars in Pisces intensifies the romantic part, and this planet continues to push you toward “testosterone romance” until April 9. (But if you’re planning to make a romantic move, do it this week, late Monday night to Wed. night (9 pm PDT), when good luck rides with you. (Something subtle here: a “true mate” might refuse due to a legal or “propriety” problem, while someone intellectual, or a traveller, is totally “on side.” Hint: a Taurus might pull back, but a Cancer or Pisces will be more enthusiastic. Now to June’s end, you can profitably ($ or emotionally) take a foreign trip, apply for school, start a lawsuit or create a media presence. Be near home, family Sunday to suppertime Monday. Not much luck here, so be long-suffering. Romance with a capital R comes Monday late to Wed. — described above. Tackle chores Thursday/Friday. Eat, dress sensibly. These days start a whole month of work, health and machinery concerns. But remember love and relationships — Saturday starts a weekend of relations, exciting and fortunate ones. (Now that Taurus might come on board.)
SAGITTARIUS: Nov. 22-Dec. 21
This is your last week of domesticity and domestic duties, Sage. By week’s end, you enter a month of romance and creative success. Meanwhile, this is a smooth, fairly easy week. Be cautious with romance and pleasure and creative chores until April 9. An affair might end by then. Your best approach: hands off. The biggest news: now to June’s end, delays dissolve and deeper questions are answered, dissolved — your luck will be huge in finances, investments, sex (preggies?) and power plays. Be honest, ethical for best results. Surgery might be called for. Paperwork, short trips, communications emphasized Sunday to Monday suppertime — say little, re-read before emailing, etc. Lots of opportunities for mistakes. Monday eve to 9 pm Wed. (PDT) highlights your domestic situation — your luck is high, so focus on the family, real estate, garden, security and ending boring or untenable situations. Romance starts Wed. night to Friday’s end. No fireworks here, but a stable, comfortable bond might begin, or expand. Saturday starts a weekend of successful chores, esp. around the home. Eat, dress sensibly.
CAPRICORN: Dec. 22-Jan. 20
It’s your last week of busy small chores, Cap: paperwork, messaging, short travel. It’s also the last week of delays and indecision. Re-read emails, etc. before sending — make sure your tone isn’t too aggressive or rude. Applies to April 9. Family is affectionate, supportive, all March. The biggest news is that a relationship or opportunity (and/or relocation) that might have “backtracked” a bit since November/25 now blossoms into perhaps one of the most fortunate relations of your life, through June 30. (This happens every 12 years.) If you’re single, head’s up! (Yes, there’s something restricting about this person/bond, but you more than anyone know there’s nothing free.) Chase money, buy/sell, hug a casual lover, read a book Sunday to late afternoon Monday — but don’t expect much. Monday night to Wed. night (9 pm PDT) emphasizes all that paperwork, communicating and short travel. A favourable interval, so return all those calls, etc. Thurs./Fri. effectively end this paperwork trend, and start a month of domesticity, family, and mother nature. Your home will be different for the 13 years ahead. Now to early 2028 you will be bound to your home, probably by choice. Saturday starts a weekend of romance, pleasure — a good weekend.
AQUARIUS: Jan. 21-Feb. 18
This is the last week of emphasis on money and possessions, on casual sex and rote learning, Aquarius. (Although, in another occurrence, money will flow to you until April 9 — tho’ you might want to spend it all.) Weeks of indecision and delay end Friday, just as a new trend begins, shunting you toward paperwork, communications and errands for the weeks ahead. The biggest “news” is that delays have ended in an employment, health or work situation, and a big benefit might be available now to late June. Work hard, display talents, and ask others for advice or direction. By July, you’ll look back in satisfaction at what you accomplished. (Also by July, you’ll be launched into a new, opportune world.) Your energy and charisma soar Sunday to late afternoon Monday — get things done, but don’t over-do, as aspects aren’t friendly. Your recent money focus returns and climaxes Monday eve to Wednesday night (9 pm PDT) — dive in, this is a super-smooth, lucky interval. Casual sex might occur. Thursday/Friday brings errands, communications and paperwork — aspects are mildly favourable. More importantly, these two days start a month of paperwork, messaging and trips. Be home or with family Saturday, as a very enjoyable weekend starts. Possible lucrative job Saturday.
PISCES: Feb. 19-March 20
This is the last week of your birthday period, Pisces. Your energy and charisma remain high, but the Mercury retro lasts until Friday, so don’t start brand-new things. Mars is in Pisces, so you can be more assertive than usual until April 9. Just stop short of aggressive. Money is favourable now, and Friday starts a whole month of money themes. But the biggest news lies in your romantic, creative, child-raising and risk-taking sector, which will be almost overloaded with good luck now through June. If single and seeking, look around you. Lie low, rest and contemplate, Sunday to just before suppertime Monday. Not much luck here, so just relax and restore your physical/emotional batteries. Monday night to late Wednesday (9 pm PDT) your energy and charisma soar. Get out, see and be seen, give favourite projects a push. This is a very fortunate interval, so don’t let it slide away. Chase $, buy/sell, read, hug a sometime lover Thursday/Friday. Luck is mildly good. These two days start a new monthly trend of chasing money, buying/selling, etc. Saturday starts a fortunate, productive weekend of casual friends, short trips, paperwork and missives.
THE END.
AFTERAMBLE:
This is how bad a lover I was: when I was 20, with my first live-in girlfriend, I did a linoleum carving — the kind where the lines look like pen marks, and if you roll ink on the surface, you can make prints. It was a picture of her, nude, facing me, with her bell-like breasts and beautiful buttocks and thighs. It was fluid and smooth and one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever done. But it occurred to me now, 57 years later, that I never showed it to her and said it was her. I thought she should know. I always think people should know. Sometimes I’m so caught in my world that good gestures just don’t occur to me.

There is a long corridor in Iran, with millions of citizens on either side. To effect regime change, Trump should keep assassinating the mulahs until there are none left to lead… while eliminating GRC leaders/troops.…
But additionally he should rain 100,000,000 leaflets down on the population centres, printed both sides in Farsi telling people that the US wants Iran to have a democratic country and to that end the US will take over the government and military for the moment until we can show you a democratic gathering model and work on it with you to perfect a democracy and the constitution. We don’t want to write it for you, because your nation must have its voice. Once that is established, we will set up a voting election to find your next leader, and possibly 20 or 30 other positions. We predict this whole process will take about one year, so we ask for your patience and your help. We’re in a foreign land; we don’t know your customs or your ways so forgive us if we inadvertently say the wrong thing or otherwise appear rude. Our intention is to be friends with all citizens that hav been held down or repressed by the clerical regime for so many years.
“But I remain true to my promise: those members of the GRC who have surrendered are free to go anywhere or do anything they please as long as it’s not illegal. Please accept them into your community, and hope they will embrace you in turn, and your democratic future.
“Although we have not entered your country yet, if not enough of the GRC join the movement towards democracy by July, it puts the ordinary citizen who supports democracy in danger. In this case, we would likely enter as an occupying force, with soldiers whose main task will be to confront the GRC and defeat it; including hunting down any hidden or stubborn pockets. We want the citizenry of Iran to feel free and safe. Free and safe enough to create your own government and to govern yourselves. Think how your civilization will flourish then, with arts and invention, and fresh fruits always on the table. We encourage you to meet amongst yourselves but to not put yourself in any danger. Think before you act — many characteristics of group behaviour are not that obvious to the group, but are taught to intelligence agents and the GRC. Meet as friends, meet as you always do over Saturday coffee or whatever. But if you’re similar souls, then start thinking, discussing how to get the community organized. Be brave. In the unlikely event that this turns to Civil War, you will win, because the US military will be on your side.

If you look carefully, you might see that Gavin Newsom at least at times is channelling Bill Clinton.

The American military capabilities are amazing. But Trump invaded Iran just as mercury was turning retrograde, and it will stay that way until March 20. Mercury is Trump‘s ruler – he’s a Gemini sun. So he will be at the root of any significant delays, indecisions or mistakes. There will be two big ones, I think. (Gemini’s a double sign.) I think the invaders made one mistake almost immediately: with a surprise attack, they took out 40 or more of Iran’s leaders, including the supreme leader Khameni — an astounding feet. The mistake was that they should have simultaneously bombed every GRC barracks, wherever they found them. Now they’ve gutted Iran’s leadership, but the GRC is now scattered, armed, and dangerous. Rooting them out will be much harder than dealing with religious leaders.
Failing to prevent mine laying by Iran was the second mistake. Trump should destroy the island that the GRC navy uses as a base to harass shipping and lay mines. Why hasn’t he?
America might have to put boots on the ground, for that may be the only way to root out the rather massive remnants of the GRC. Certainly the civilian population will need protection if they are to set up a provisional government, and then a democratic republic. At some point the choice will become: do we occupy and hunt out the GRC, or do we arm the citizens and hope for the best outcome?

I often think: well there are huge animals like whales and the extinct dinosaurs and medium big animals like bears, humans, mice and raccoons, and insects, ranging from “noseeums,” to foot-wide mauve butterflies. Then, I imagine there is a whole soup of tiny bacteria and germs and vitamins and all that stuff you can’t see.
OK, sounds simple. But then one day you’re browsing through an agricultural book and you start finding out about nematodes and their very active life in the soil. You can’t see nematodes, but neither are they microscopic.
It might sound obvious, but when I start looking at these different layers, I realize that the mobile life on earth is a continuum from the molecule to the mammoth — there is no layer, not even a microscopic one, unfilled. It makes me feel nature is a continuous throbbing organ — a good one, a green and growing one, but not a haphazard one. A pulsing directed or self-directed, massive and intricate “machine” — going to what end?

When the urge to create is stronger than the urge to conform, you have the first element of genius.
The word genius is frequently used in the sense of some mythical intellectual mastermind, but it doesn’t really mean that. It comes from a word meaning to produce or beget or create. The Romans used it to describe a person’s soul or aura, and I think that degenerated into describing their character. And that, due to some twisted logic from the Age of Enlightenment, became a physical characteristic, or something very close to it: genius as Einstein — a character with unkempt hair and a large head, whose talents are visible, measurable, relatable. But in truth, genius should be judged by its product — which it often is.
To some degree, the non-genius or receiving crowd judges what the genius produces, and decides to either accept or reject it. In this sense they control the genius, or at least in a broader sense his/her production. On the other hand, the genius’s primary purpose is to bring something new to mankind, to affect its course, even if only in a minuscule way. Usually, this is 180° contrary to the receiving crowd – they want nothing new that will disturb the pond. But these wrestlers need each other, so they come to a midpoint: society will accept anything fanciful, entertaining, emotional, even shocking. In return the genius will — whatever. Tone it down?

In the following, I’m pretending that there is only one “famous career people” sector in the charts Gauquelin (*) studies — in fact, there are four. But just to make things simple for me, I’m pretending there’s only one, involving the 10th house of career. Gauquelin’s findings can be explained this way: he only used the birth charts of those who were famous or renowned in their fields. I saw a chart – I don’t know if it represents a study or not – that showed the distribution of well-known people and of merely competent practitioners. The average scientist, for instance — and his cohorts — do not form statistically significant groups, and their charts or identifying planet points are evenly spread around the zodiacal circle.
Whereas the same birth charts for sports champions, actors, famous scientists or well-known politicians, etc. formed a definite, pronounced grouping that does peak approximately at the 10th cusp as traditional astrology contends. But the bulk of the births fell into the traditional ninth house, and once that swell of nativities reached a peak in the 10th, it quickly fell off.
Here we run into a small puzzle: the majority of the well known or famous practitioners of their art/career (tenth house) had the planet of that art in the ninth house, not the 10th. I suspect that prestige (10th) and fame (9th) are intricately intertwined, and ambition is often tied to a need for recognition.
(*) M. Gauquelin was the French statistician who finally proved astrology “works” — is “real,” has scientific underpinnings (or at least statistical proof). His statistical samples were so large, no one could refute them. (He actually set out to prove astrology was bunk.)
