Unveiling Astrology Part 2)
START NOTHING (ALL TIMES ARE PACIFIC DAYLIGHT):2:33 pm Mon. to 12:06 pm Tues., and 7:18 am Thurs. to 0:27 am Fri.
PREAMBLE:
Wow — seldom see this, only two “Start Nothing” periods all week. Unfortunately, one of them eats up a whole day’s promise, probably Tuesday.

Ecstasy is not a wind; it’s a breeze. (Roaring/short vs Playful prolonged.)
***
As I write this – Sunday, April 26 – the Secret Service, which protects President Trump and his cabinet and other influentials, have not been paid for 71 days. (I’m writing this April 26, so add another 8 days.) That’s over two months. I think the White House should offer them all free breakfast, lunches, and dinners. — and their families also. I think that would super boost morale.

That huge lawsuit between the two titans of artificial intelligence, Sam Altman and Elon Musk, began Monday, April 27, when the moon was void-of-course (I.e., in a “Start Nothing” phase). So it will likely come to nothing. The suit is a kind of social conversing for Elon, a double Cancer (Sun and Ascendant) with a Virgo Moon. Sam will tend to be the active one, as the court starts with Sun in Taurus, and Sam’s a triple Taurus (Sun, Moon and Ascendant in that sign).
BTW, you might think: Taurus? That’s not a computer sign, how did a Taurean (Altman) become so central to Artificial Intel? Well, that’s easy. Taurus’ sign of ambition, of career, is Aquarius, the sign of computers and AI. (With Pluto.)
***
Speaking of Cancer and Virgos and Taurus — the earth and water signs dominated the last couple of decades. But the years ahead favour the air and fire signs — Gemini, Libra, Aquarius, and Aries, Leo, Sagittarius.
WEEKLY FORECAST:
ARIES: March 21-April 19
You’re deep into “possession territory,” Aries. Means you will be focused on buying/selling, costs and values (including moral ones) — on knowledge as a possession (increased by active learning) and casual sex, which is possession, not love. A casual friend might exchange affectionate messages with you. This is a herald: for seven years you will be diving into happy friendships, many of them brief. Remember, your real estate, family luck is splendid until late June — take advantage. Sunday to noon Tuesday (PDT) brings a mellow mood and enquiring mind. Love lurks here, too. All’s dandy Sunday, and to mid-afternoon Monday, but after this the ride gets rough — with one exception: real estate luck is high Monday pm. Be ambitious Tuesday pm through Thursday. Tuesday needs resolve and a realistic outlook. Wednesday daytime, night, can be very productive. But Thursday morn brings disruption. Your popularity rises, optimism and eagerness fill you, social delights grow, Fri./Sat. Friday’s fine. Saturday has a few bumps, but also a very sweet morning to early afternoon (PDT). Flirting permitted!
TAURUS: April 20-May 20
You’re still on top, Taurus — filled with energy, confidence, and charisma. Start projects, gather allies, see and be seen, state your case, ask favours. Study your income picture over the years ahead — something’s changing, not sure if it’s “detectable” yet. Basically, your career planet will be in your income sign until 2032. This is a natural “match,” and should increase your coffers. Until May 19, avoid sketchy venues and belligerent individuals. (Same period, your income and purchases will be fortunate — especially if you’re buying beauty, art.) The deeper side of life emerges Sunday to noon Tuesday (PDT). Expect secrets, do research, commit, and be honest — because some temptation can come, especially in sexual and financial zones. Sunday’s best. Monday night and Tuesday morning are obstructive and empty of results. A wise, tolerant, mellow mood flows over you Tuesday pm through Thursday. International affairs, higher learning, law, media — these might draw you. It’s a bit of a rough ride, tho. Wednesday daytime and pm best. Be ambitious Fri./Sat. Both days, a mild good luck rides with you.
GEMINI: May 21-June 20
Lie low, avoid competitive situations, Gemini. Rest, seek advice, contemplate and plan. Your energy is low, will climb late May. But you charisma seems fine — others are attracted, and friends remain friendly. Your future social life is changing deeply. This will unfold over the decade + ahead. Your friends will be more serious, more psychic, more “calm” than ever before. The biggest news: Uranus just entered your sign (April 25) for a seven-year stay. This will make you more nervous, more intellectual, more travel-prone and eager to meet foreign-born people, and could bring true love. (Big year in this: Sept./28 to Sept./29. Earlier, not quite so big: July/26 to July/27.) Your good money luck continues — but only this month and next. Sunday to noon Tuesday (PDT) brings exciting meetings, opportunities and public appearances. Better Sunday and before mid-afternoon Tuesday. Life’s depths float to the surface Tuesday afternoon through Tuesday. Research, ask questions, but be slow to commit, in either sexual or financial areas. Wednesday pm best. International affairs, travel, higher learning, law, media — these can draw your attention Fri./Sat. Someone might wink, and you know the message.
CANCER: June 21-July 22
Celebrate May, Cancer, because it’s bringing new friends (new groups if you seek — and you should). Popularity, optimism, flirting, visualizing wishes — these fill the three weeks ahead. You are also personally much luckier than in most Mays. Wish upon a star, Cancer, then chase it! A secret attraction might be brewing. Bosses are impatient, pushy, but accept this, flow with it. (The storm will pass.) It’s a reminder that your career or ambitions will be very different from now forward. More mental work, travel and “partnering” will enter you work sphere for years. Tackle chores Sunday to noon Tuesday (PDT). Sunday into mid-afternoon Monday is better for action. After this, obstacles. Exciting meetings, opportunities, opposition, relocation themes and public appearances fill Tuesday pm through Thursday. Best Wed. afternoon to pre-dawn Thursday. Otherwise, be cautious, diplomatic. Life’s mysteries emerge Fri./Sat. Sexual and financial “openings” appear — yes, mostly good results if you act, commit. Better Friday, to about 1 pm Sat. (PDT).
LEO: July 23-Aug. 22
You’re in a strong career/ambition phase in May, Leo. Your social life is fine, brings some delightful, attractive people (until May 18) — but this is just a hint, a precursor, of the social “buoyancy” you’re going to experience for the next seven years. If you’re married, you and your mate will grow happier and livelier — your social circle will expand. If you’re single, these 7 years can bring you true love, a “destined” mate. You’re going to be happy, Leo! Meanwhile, though, there’s work to be done. Intellectually, your path deepens and widens over the years to come. In three months, you will start a super-lucky year that will emphasize romance, the arts/creativity, sports/games, and charming children. Until then, be supportive of someone(s) in need — karma demands it! Sunday to noon Tuesday (PDT) brings a foretaste of that romantic and creative influence. Best Sunday to mid-afternoon Mon. Tackle chores Tuesday pm through Thursday. Careful Tuesday — many glitches, some hidden. Wednesday is pretty good, especially late. Fri./Sat. bring exciting meetings, public appearances, relocation themes, opportunities and opposition. (But more opportunities than the other.)
VIRGO: Aug. 23-Sept. 22
Your mind is wide awake yet flowing with a mellow understanding of things and people, Virgo. This influence also favours far travel, international affairs, law, media and higher learning — any of which you might dive into during May. Your social life remains buoyant and fortunate. At work, higher-ups favour you for at least the two weeks ahead… Might be a good time to angle for a pay raise. Your deepest urges, especially for sex, power, and or money, rise to the surface now and into the future — even 13 years into the future. You will encounter many opportunities to invest profitably, IF you 1) research, 2) are honest, ethical, and 3) are willing to partner with someone. Your work will also change, slowly but surely, until the 2040’s. Be home, with family, or work on security or digestive issues Sunday to noon Tuesday (PDT). Sunday to midafternoon Monday best. Someone’s rambunctious late Monday. Romance, creative and speculative urges, charming children, pleasure and beauty greet you Tuesday pm through Thursday. Tuesday’s a bit rough, deceptive, but Wednesday daytime/night look fine — dive in! Tackle chores Fri./Sat. — you’ll get a lot done!
LIBRA: Sept. 23-Oct. 22
This is your month of changes, Libra. Your intuition will be high, so “listen” to it. Major financial and sexual doors might open now: enter with honesty, good morals. Research will be vital, helpful. Two or three months ago your relationship sector began to change — in future, domestic and work/health issues will affect or be core to, a major bond (marriage, business partnership, etc.). Relations are very active and “true” now to about May 18. (Your feelings are true, also, even if you feel disinterested, unimpressed.) For the next seven years, your romance planet (Uranus) will be in your wedding sector. (Your creative planet is in your intellectual house.) This can end two decades of frustration, as life undercut past relationships with domestic problems. You might even move away from those who have disappointed you. Sunday to noon Tuesday (PDT) brings errands, short trips, paperwork, calls and communications. Sunday and before mid-afternoon Monday is the best time for action. From Tuesday pm through Thursday, head for home, hug the kids, take a wee nature vacation, garden, contemplate, enhance security. Not much good here until late morning Wednesday to pre-dawn Thursday. You’ll be happy, maybe entranced, Fri./Sat. as romantic, creative, pleasure and beauty vibes enter. Friday (and around noon PDT Saturday) give best results.
SCORPIO: Oct. 23-Nov. 21
Relationships are of prime importance, Scorpio. You can either embrace/chase them, or elude/oppose them — in the latter case, have your diplomatic skills ready. There will be public appearances, contests of will, sudden attractions and opportunities, some at a distance. Your “private side” — sexual intimacy, financial actions/investments — is blessed until May 18. So maybe buy a bit of stock, whatever. This zone, of sex and finances, medical actions and lifestyle changes, will be very active for the next seven years. Many Scorpios will buy a house or other real estate, since your planet of “home” will be in your investment zone until 2033. Work is intense, hard — after May 18, it will just be hard for two years, but creative/pleasureable at the same time, and for a decade more. Chase $ Sunday to noon Tuesday (PDT) — buy/sell, learn by rote, and/or hug a casual lover. Best Sunday to mid-afternoon Monday. Calls and messaging, errands, trips and paperwork fill Tuesday pm through Thursday. This is a tough interval, but “succeeds” Wed. morning (PDT) to pre-dawn Thursday. Be home, hug the family, garden, hike, repair, rest and contemplate Fri./Sat. Both days “okay.”
SAGITTARIUS: Nov. 22-Dec. 21
Lots of work faces you until late May, Sage. Better dive into it! (But be cautious if starting a job Mon. or Tues. — don’t alienate someone, nor ignore safety rules.) Eat, dress sensibly. A strong streak of romance or creativity or sports lasts until late May (18th). In addition, Venus nudges others to be affectionate, gracious, also to the 18th. Even more, Uranus has now entered your partnership sector, for seven years. Relationships will be friendly, casual, unpredictable, and will revolve around slightly eccentric people. May and June will bless your investments and/or sexual encounters. Young marrieds might get pregnant. Your energy and charisma are high Sunday to noon Tuesday (PDT). Start things, gather allies, see and be seen. Sunday to mid-afternoon Monday best — disruption later. Chase $, buy/sell, collect and pay, or hug a “sometime lover,” or learn by rote, Tuesday pm through Thursday. Best Wed. daytime to pre-dawn Thurs. Friday/Saturday finds you restless, eager to talk, write, communicate. Run errands, do paperwork. All’s well.
CAPRICORN: Dec. 22-Jan. 20
Ah, sweet romance! You’re riding a winning streak, Cap. Pleasure, beauty, creativity, inventiveness, all are “close to hand.” Your home life is rather alive now, but by May 19 will settle into a long-term quiet phase. For two years, this phase will restore you, will replenish emotional, physical and mental batteries. Be gentle with kids, spouse for two more weeks. Work is pleasant, co-workers gracious, to May 18. Relationships and opportunities glow with good luck until June’s end — be active in welcoming, embracing. Lie low, rest, contemplate and plan Sunday to noon Tuesday (PDT). The dividing line is 2 pm (PDT) Monday — before this, good, fortunate; after, difficult. Your energy and charisma, clout and effectiveness soar Tuesday pm through Thursday. Get out, see and be seen, state your case, start projects, etc. Be assertive. You might hit a rough patch Tuesday afternoon to dawn Wed., but there’s smooth sailing Wednesday late morning (8 am PDT) to pre-dawn Thursday. Follow the money Fri./Sat. — collect, pay, shop, sell, hug a casual lover, read a book. All’s well.
AQUARIUS: Jan. 21-Feb. 18
The main emphasis is on home and family, nature and garden, security and domestic issues for almost three more weeks, Aquarius. A time to “settle in,” rest, plan, and decorate/renovate. However, you’ll be rather restless, too. Errands, calls, and a romantic or artistic interest will keep you hopping. Paperwork is a pain, but important — important for your income for the next 13 years. Work remains large, but it will shrink noticeably by July onward. Last week started a trend that will draw out your most creative, beauty-conscious, romantic side for seven years. True love isn’t denied — and might show as early as this July through July 2027. (If single, a partnership opportunity will occur.) Wishes can come true (be realistic) Sunday to noon Tuesday (PDT) — you’ll feel popular, friends gather, optimism and flirting abound. Sunday and Monday to mid-afternoon are best — disruption (or too much foolish courage) Monday eve/night. Retreat from the fray Tuesday pm through Thursday — rest, contemplate, plan. Be charitable. Tuesday’s tough, confusing. And Thursday might hold an argument or accident. Wednesday, “daylight” morning to night offers the best progress. Your energy and pizzazz jump up Fri./Sat. Friday’s fine. Saturday’s mixed, but has a sweet loving interval around midday.
PISCES: Feb. 19-March 20
The general emphasis lies on paperwork, short trips and errands, and communications, Pisces. As I’ve said ad nauseam for a long time, your romantic luck is at a decade high — only until June 30. (June 29, PDT.) This includes a general winning streak, at sports and games — and daily life — and a creative streak which can boost your career or prestige by a round-about way. Your income picture has changed deeply, for years to come. You’ll focus more on money and possessions; you’ll wish and dream about money, too. If you have any dealings with the gov’t, approach them now, before May 18, for success. Sunday to noon Tuesday (PDT) emphasizes your career, worldly standing, general ambitions. Sunday to mid-afternoon Monday is best for action. Be cautious later and Tuesday morning. Tuesday noon through Thursday brings hope, optimism, popularity, social delights, flirting, and happiness. However, be careful with practical matters (and volatile relationships) Tuesday eve and Thursday just after sunrise (PDT). Best time: Wednesday into pre-dawn Thursday. Retreat Fri./Sat. Lie low, rest, contemplate and plan your future. Liaise with gov’t, head office. All’s well!
THE END
AFTERAMBLE:
Putin’s war against Ukraine: Putin himself has admitted that one of his main goals, if not the main goal of his invasion, is to gain territory. But the solar chart of the start of the war on 24th of February 2022, shows Mercury, the ruler of the fourth house of territory imprisoned between Pluto and Saturn.
Behind him, Pluto shows the past. It rules, Scorpio, which in this invasion chart holds the ninth sector of law, internationalism, and ideas. Unfortunately, the lunar south note is in Scorpio, saying that Putin’s actions emerged from a bad idea. In front of Mercury stands Saturn, the king of delay. And that’s what Putin has encountered: years of delay, of incremental advances. Saturn also likes to get paid, in this case – who knows, you hear reports of up to 1 million dead Russians. The commander of the whole chart is the Sun in Pisces. And in front of the sun is lucky, expansive Jupiter. Also, in front of the sun, a little further away, is expansive, indecisive Neptune (ruler of the whole chart). In this chart, Saturn rules wishes for the future, and also points to secret allies. So Putin remains constantly optimistic about the war.
Putin was born a Libran, with a Gemini Moon. He’s probably more popular (or, actually, “prestigious”) now than in most years. (In Russia of course.) This lasts to summer 2027. He has the perfect KGB birth chart: Moon in the 8th of secrets, Scorpio (cops, investigators) rising, and Pluto, his rising sign’s ruler, is at the peak of his career section. He has Saturn, Neptune and Mercury in the area of management and bureaucracy. His Mars is in Sagittarius, opposite his moon in Gemini. Mars is war, Sagittarius is “other places.”
The Moon is in a very strong, capable degree, in the house of death. BUT both that warring Mars and that death-dealing Moon are in “intercepted” houses. This used to mean these planets could not find a situation to act in, or spark. But clearly Putin has acted, and started a bona-fide war. Still, a largely frustrated and impotent war, which might be the message of the interception — to “not fully grasp.” He’s going to be tempted to use nuclear weapons in 2035/6/7, should the war last that long — or in another situation.
***
The behaviour of groups does in someway predict the future. In astrology, groups and the future are both found in the same sector or house. The 11th house rules groups, including juries and political bodies, such as a legislature. Legislatures write laws that can affect peoples lives for centuries later. A jury’s decision can affect peoples lives, even take away a life. Both “control” the future.

I’ll bet a lot of those antisemites have never met a Jewish person. I was married to a Jewish girl for awhile. The Jews are generally and in my experience, almost without exception, kind empathic, sympathetic, and they really do try to be just or to act justly.
Israel is a Taurus state. Taurus people tend to be peaceful, calm, and secure in their strength. The symbol is a bull quietly munching grass. But Taurus is extremely determined also. If roused to war, Taurus, can be one of your worst enemies, as some Middle Eastern nations have found out.

It’s as though he knows we have seven or 10 senses, and he plays upon all of them.

This fight between Pope Leo and Trump:
First, Trump did not invade Rome. The Vatican has really no place in Iran.
Second, I know Trump exaggerates, and boasts, but I don’t think he’s a liar.
On the other hand, the Pope constantly lies about Jesus, as do most priests. Jesus said I have come to bring “Not Peace, but a Sword” (Matthew 10:34-36). And later he urges his followers to go to war. Yet the Pope calls Jesus the Prince of Peace. Jesus never donned that crown.
In occultism, a sword represents new thought. Jesus stated he brought a “sword” that sets families against each other. This is interpreted as a metaphor for the sharp division his followers experience when his teachings conflict with family or social expectations. (Sound a bit like the U.S.A. under Trump?)
What bothers me a bit about Jesus is that he never embraced the earth.
***
Expect great advances for the next seven years in flying technology, nuclear fuel, electricity: something about the electron will open a New World – no I should say a new source. Related to a black Sun. I predicted there would be a black sun in 1986 – and Chernobyl exploded. So I’m guessing a black son is uranium and that new source might be the harnessing of a different process or a different part of the atom… Somehow electrons are involved.
***
Trump should have finished the Iranian war before April 20. That period favoured military action. Now to May 20 neither favours nor disfavours war, but will feature dug-in positions. After May 20 into late June, if there’s been no action thus far (other than the blockade) military strikes could be very quick, and maybe unexpected. Or might feature war on a smaller scale — involving drones, speed boats, etc.
Trump did not firmly execute and finish the war because he started it when the sun was in Pisces, a sign of duality and indecision. Pisces also rules the sea, where Trump‘s might is gathered in the Middle East.
That said, even were Trump to walk away today, it would be in triumph.
But several goals would have eluded him: one, regime change; and two, dismantling of the GRC and freedom of the people; three, an agreement that Iran will not sponsor terrorists anywhere in the world; four, all the other stuff, for instance, an agreement that Iran will not pursue nuclear enrichment. But regime change is foremost in importance.

After many miles of thought, I have concluded that the purpose of life is to enjoy it.
Work can’t be the purpose of life because it’s something we only do to survive, to live the life. Nor can preserving the species be the purpose of life. In a macro view, we know that many species are simply wiped out by various factors. In addition, it is like saying, the purpose of living is living. It adds nothing.
But we could say the purpose of life is to learn and grow and advance, to progress to a higher and higher technological, emotional and spiritual level. I believe in this process; its recent fruits (since World War II, which created the welfare state) are all around us.
Actually, this sounds like more of a purpose than my first idea of living for pleasure. But I’m not letting go of pleasure. Yes, we do advance, and I think someday we will reach the condition of angels. But in the meantime, we do work and progress and learn in a paradise.
The Earth is not only a paradise, but it and its citizens are ultimately malleable – they respond to our expressions and actions. If we go around, frowning all day, we’ll tend to run into angry people. If we go around smiling, we get the same in return. This is manipulation, but one that is usually healthy, and one that offers an unhappy person, a simple and powerful way back to happiness. The instructions are so simple: be kind, compassionate, empathetic and friendly – don’t forget friendly! Acting like this, even if you are deeply into crime or the dark side, even if the acting seems empty because your feelings don’t fill it, even so it is the first step to happiness. What they used to call salvation.
After a time, you’ll realize that your acting has filled up with your feelings. And because the acting portrays goodness, so your feelings follow.
About pleasure: although improving mankind might be our primary purpose, its pursuit in the best cases will be pleasurable – a researcher, a scientist, a businessperson ,an artist, teacher, carpet layer, whoever loves their work and nurtures their tools leads, at least during working hours, to a life of pleasure. Nothing escapes. Pleasure will be woven into the fabric of human kind’s advance.
True pleasure is loving your life and all it touches.

What is God? I ask myself this question probably five times a week.

Yes, I said, the angel is with us right now. She surrounds us. Can’t you feel it?

I was sitting on the back steps of my office the other year when across the street and across the parking lot, two young man in black suits came diagonally toward me. They looked like missionaries. I went down the steps and met them just as they were at the little concrete wall of the parking lot. Don’t be afraid I said . Afraid of what, the taller one asked. Of me. Who are you? The shorter one said. John, I said. (My name is actually Tim, of course.) As in your book, I said. Curious, he opened his Bible where he had one of those red book dividers. The red ribbon laid across John in the New Testament. My break was over, so I left them there. I don’t know where they went after that.
