START NOTHING (ALL TIMES ARE PACIFIC DAYLIGHT): 11:55 pm Sun. to 3:33 am Tues., 3:54 pm Wed. to 6:22 am Thurs. and 10:12 pm Fri. to 9:01 am Sat. (All times are Pacific Daylight.)

 

PREAMBLE:

ALL SIGNS: 0:30 am Monday, Pacific Daylight time, marks the technical end of the Mercury retro period. The indecision and confusion of the retrograde can linger like wisps, but basically the “don’t start” advice is over. We are all free now to start new projects, relationships and big purchases.

***

Last week was a bit of a grinder. But this week is much more pleasant and benevolent, and gives us all a little boost if we’re starting anything.

Empathy is love without action. Compassion is love with action.

WEEKLY FORECAST:

 

aries icon  ARIES:  March 21-April 19

The romantic vibes continue, Aries. It might not be noticeable overnight, but you are entering one of the more serious and ambitious two years of your life. These two years will be mixed with a new 14-year influence that nudges you more and more into management positions, and expands your capacity for compassion. Your psychic and intuitive abilities will also increase now to 2039. You might see or sense this Sunday/Monday, when your energy is low but your luck is high. Two great days — especially Sunday — to deal with the government, head office, or seek advice. This present year though, summer 25 to summer of 26, blesses you in everything to do with home, family, security, mother nature and real estate. ‘Nuff said. Your energy and charisma shoot skyward Tuesday to predawn Thursday (PDT) — dive in and get things done! (Or woo someone.) Buy/sell, collect and pay, hug a sometime lover and/or learn something from a book or a teacher Thursday morning (PDT) to mid morning Saturday. Thursday isn’t so easy, but Friday daytime offers bargains, and a chance to increase your income. Saturday brings errands, paperwork, small trips and happy acquaintances.

 

taurus iconTAURUS:  April 20-May 20

Go slow, Taurus. There is no need to rush anything. Train your main focus on your home, family, security and food for the next couple of weeks. You can finally untangle a mess in this area. Could be an emotional mess or a physical/practical mess, or both. Until late September, work will be intense and a little burdensome — less so if you work in management. (If you do work in management, you will make many new friends over the 13 years ahead.) But take the present work intensity in stride; proceed at your calm, steady pace. Friends are sweet and affectionate.  The 10 months ahead Bring a flurry of paperwork, communications and short trips, all of which can contribute to a solid increase in your assets.  Sunday/Monday is intellectual and gently loving, and focusses on legalities, social rituals, international affairs, higher learning, philosophy and media. All’s well! Retreat to find a quiet refuge Tuesday to predawn Thursday: rest, contemplate, make plans and seek advice, and liaise with head office or government. Good and bad luck mingle, but the good luck is stronger. Your energy and pizzazz return somewhat Thursday morning to mid morning Saturday. This is a fine interval during which you can accomplish a lot. Chase money or go shopping Saturday – your luck is good!

 

gemini icon  GEMINI:  May 21-June 20

The general accent lies on short trips, cars and vehicles, paperwork, communications and friendly acquaintances, Gemini. This stuff is your cup of tea, so you should be happily occupied — the mistakes and delays of the last few weeks should end now. For 10 months ahead your income will be very favoured —  especially this month — but your expenses might be very high also. (I’m a Gemini. My retirement account gained about $ 80,000 in the last few months, but I also had to spend over $ 11,000 since June on my vehicle and my daughter’s difficulties.) Uranus now in your sign will bring a lot of wisdom and love over the next seven years. It will also heighten any nervous condition you have. Romance can be intense for the next five or six weeks. Your wishes and social desires are quite sober and practical, and will continue this way until early 2028. For the next 13 years, your hopes about career and prestige will come true, to the extent that you are “realistically intuitive” about them. Sunday/Monday might illustrate this, as your career and welding standing are in strong — and benevolent — focus. Your popularity, optimism and your flirty side rise up Tuesday to pre-dawn Thursday  (PDT). Social joys, entertainment and happiness visit you. Find a quiet place to rest and meditate Thursday morning to mid morning Saturday. This is a pretty good time (Friday) to make plans, seek advice, and liaise with government or head office. The rest of Saturday is for shopping or casual sex.

 

Cancer icon  CANCER:  June 21-July 22

The main accent for August lies on money and possessions, Cancer. Since intimacy is a form of possession, casual sex might also enter the picture. You are free now to charge ahead, as the period of delays and mistakes ends Monday (3:30 am PDT). Your physical beauty shines, and can attract compliments or pursuers. You are also quite happy now, which will be the source of some extraordinary good luck over the next 10 or 11 months — do something with this luck — especially in work/employment/machinery areas. (Many Cancerians will receive a pay raise in the next 22 months — and it might be based on your work performance in the six weeks ahead.) Your career zone promotes partnerships now into early 2028, and is generally blessed for the entire decade ahead.  But your home life looks argumentative or problematical until late September. This, and your optimism, might somehow combine into a huge tantrum or blowup. For best results, contain your temper! Your career and prestige and social standing will climb steadily for the next two years. Sunday/Monday brings insight, gentle love, profound thoughts and hints of international travel — Sunday’s luckiest, best. Be ambitious Tuesday predawn to Thursday dawn (PDT) — your luck is good so just charge ahead. Wishes, hopes, optimism, popularity and social delights, happiness and entertainment fill Thursday to midmorning Saturday. After this, settle down for a quiet, restful weekend.

 

Leo icon  LEO:  July 23-Aug. 22

This is your month, Leo! Your energy, charisma, clout and effectiveness are at a yearly peak. The recent phase of delay and mistakes ends Monday morning, so you are free now to advance, to start projects and relationships. For the next seven years, especially if you’re single, a new and friendly kind of lifemate prospect will arrive. You will probably meet your best companion/lover in a group, whether political, social or work oriented. You will be oddly optimistic about your partnership prospects for the whole seven years. Now to late September, communications, travel and paperwork will be important in either a legal way, or in education, publishing or love. Your relations with government or head office remain pleasant and helpful – at least until August 25. Sunday/Monday bring mystery, secrets, lifestyle, medical, investment and sexual lures — not necessarily bad ones — in fact, good luck rides with you here, especially Sunday. Law, far travel, international affairs, higher learning, philosophy and publishing and love fill Tuesday to predawn Thursday. Your luck is jumbled here, but mostly good, especially Wednesday. Be ambitious Thursday morning to mid morning Saturday (PDT) — you will advance or tend to succeed. The rest of Saturday is for friends, flirts, and happiness!

virgo icon  VIRGO:  Aug. 23-Sept. 22

Lie low, Virgo. Rest, plan, seek advice and liaise with government or institutions or head office. (The period of mistakes and delays ends Monday morning.) Your energy is low, but this is a pretty benevolent week, so you should be fine. Now to late September your money picture looks like a whirlwind. More money will come to you, and if you aren’t careful, will flow through you. Your sector of investment and sexual intimacy has grown very serious lately and will stay that way for up to 13 years. You will be much more interested in combining your money with someone else’s, perhaps in a partnership. If married, you will also need to watch your loyalty quotient, for your eyes might be drawn to temptation. Now to 2033, your career will change: elements of science, high tech, electronics, computing, politics and social causes will enter. As you embrace them, so your career goes. Sunday/Monday focus on partnerships and opportunities. This is a fortunate little interval, especially Sunday. Secrets, sex, temptations, major finances and medical and lifestyle decisions fill Tuesday to pre-dawn Thursday (PDT). Your luck is mixed here, so depend on your intuition. Thursday morning to mid morning Saturday bring a fine, mellow mood — and gentle love, and possibly, law, higher education, far travel and/or media involvements. Charge ahead here, as results look quite benevolent. The rest of Saturday, dress well and be ambitious – or brag to your friends.

 

libra icon  LIBRA:  Sept. 23-Oct. 22

Two more weeks of popularity, social delights, light romance or flirting, optimism and happiness, Libra. Recent delays end Monday, so you can charge ahead. This is a good time to form wishes. (Best way: write your wish on a piece off paper1, fold it twice, and put it under your mattress. Leave it there until you forget about it. Or, if you want a friend/partner, put two chairs near each other in your yard.) Your career, worldly status and prestige relations are favoured, lucky, until Aug. 25. You’re more assertive/aggressive than usual until late September. (My recent warning about “bad prospective partners” has ended.) Over the decade ahead, marriage will be a serious thing, with a lot of “duty.” Sunday/Monday show a hint of this, as you tackle chores. Act Sunday, as Monday has a few results unless you live in Europe, Asia or Australia. Relationships confront you Tuesday to dawn Thursday (PDT) — opportunities also, and opposition. Both days are great, fortunate, but avoid an argument Tuesday morning. Secrets, sexual temptations, investments and other finances, research, medical and lifestyle decisions enter Thursday morning to mid morning Saturday. This is a good interval to invest or research. Saturday daytime is for gentle love, travel, profound ideas, learning, law, philosophy and media — all’s well!

 

scorpio icon  SCORPIO:  Oct. 23-Nov. 21

Be ambitious, Scorpio — for two more weeks. Delays here end Monday, so you’ll be free to charge forth. (Hint: look at the underside or hidden side of things.) Legally and morally, you’re in top shape, and will be for sometime. Work is growing harder, but is more creative, and your employment might produce a romantic partner — this for the next 13 years. Now to September 22, avoid sketchy venues and belligerent people. For the next 10 months, you can make money from international, travel, educational, legal and media/publishing zones. Sunday/Monday favours romance, creativity, sports and pleasure in general. Sunday night (PDT — morning in Europe and p.m. in Asia) is made for love. Tackle chores Tuesday to dawn Thursday. Dress and eat sensibly. You will accomplish things! Exciting relationships, and ones which might help boost your career (might) appear Thursday to mid morning Saturday. This is a time of opportunities, especially Friday. Be diplomatic, but reveal your ambitions and see who wants to join you. Saturday is for secrets, digging deep for treasure, major finances, sexual temptations and medical issues — a great day with good results!

 

sagittarius icon  SAGITTARIUS:  Nov. 22-Dec. 21

For two more weeks, the emphasis lies on everything you love, Sage — far travel, higher learning, law, social rituals, religion/philosophy, and dissemination of ideas — and gentle love. You are very optimistic about romance or a creative project, and perhaps for good reason. Anytime now to late September, you might meet “the one” in a group situation. Your investments, physical intimacies, secrets and research, medical and lifestyle actions — all are blessed until the end of next June (’26). Recent delays and mistakes will end Monday, freeing you to charge ahead in any area. Sunday/Monday is domestic. Be home, hug the family, contemplate and plan. All is well – and you could find an excellent investment, or throw your arms open to an alluring person. Tuesday to dawn Thursday brings romance, perhaps huge romance. But there are glitches also, so ride what you can and try to avoid potholes. This is a good creative interval also. Tackle chores Thursday to mid morning Saturday. Eat, dress sensibly. You’ll get it done! Saturday starts a weekend of relationships and opportunities. Avoid all fights, be diplomatic, because this day and evening is going to bring you at least the link to happiness. Whether you grab it or not it is up to you.

capricorn icon  CAPRICORN:  Dec. 22-Jan. 20

Two more weeks of mysteries and secrets, Cap. if you can solve some of these mysteries, you might open the door to profit, especially in investments and business zones. The recent period of delays, mistakes and second thoughts ends this Monday, freeing you to advance in any direction you want. You might start a sexual relationship this week or next, but you are very broadly and generally favored/lucky in all relationships for the next 10 months — marital, business partnerships, associations — and the opportunities and fresh horizons which they bring. (Yes, relocation is very favoured before July/26.) Until September 22, bosses and higher-ups can be critical and short tempered. Bear this with a smile. The same period offers the opportunity to climb upward either through renting or buying a more prestigious place, or working in a domestic area: real estate, food prep/ restaurants, agriculture, forestry, mining, fishing, childcare, etc. Sunday/Monday is for communicating, errands and paperwork — Sunday’s best. Mid week, very early Tuesday to mid morning Thursday (PDT) nudges you toward home and family — all’s good here. Tackle chores and protect your daily health Saturday into the weekend.

Aquarius icon  AQUARIUS:  Jan. 21-Feb. 18

The major, general accent lies on relationships, opportunities and opposition, fresh horizons, public appearances and relocation themes for two more weeks, Aquarius. A recent period of delay and confusion ends Monday, so you can charge after these opportunities or relationships. Some singles could even meet their life mate. Work is full, and will grow more full over the next 10 months — but it’s also lucky, esp. this August. You are beginning to speak more hesitantly, as you start to see more deeply into meanings and things — this lasts for 13 more years, but is strongest before 2028. Strictly avoid lawsuits before September 22. Same interval, you might travel with friends. Chase money, buy/sell, hug a casual lover, or read to learn Sunday/Monday. Sunday is best, especially in North America. Errands, communications and paperwork fill Tuesday to dawn Thursday. Most things slow smoothly, but avoid any kind of showdown Tuesday morning. Be home, hug the kids, start repairs or renovations or start digging that backyard garden or pool, Thursday morning to mid morning Saturday. Be happy at home! Saturday starts a weekend of significant romance if you’re single. Don’t be shy – chase the one you want. Assertiveness is rewarded Saturday evening.

 

Pisces icon  PISCES:  Feb. 19-March 20

Two more weeks of work and drudgery, Pisces. The good news is that the recent period of delays and mistakes ends this Monday, freeing you to advance in any direction you choose. So just do the job, and keep yourself healthy through proper nutrition. Your sexual, financial, medical and power-playing side is very active now to late September. You might make a real little money bonus from this — or you could waste your resources. You choose. For the next 13 years, you will be focussed on money, earnings and possessions. For the next two years your income will for some reason fulfil your wishes. Romance is sweet until August 25 — but is super lucky all the way into next June. Your energy and charisma are very high Sunday/Monday. Sunday is best for action. Chase money, buy/sell, collect and pay, hug you sometime lover and/or read to learn midweek, Tuesday to dawn Thursday. There are some obstacles here, but even more good luck, so push on. Errands, paperwork and communications fill Thursday morning to mid morning Saturday — you will accomplish satisfying results. Saturday starts a down-home weekend. Rest, relax, contemplate and plan, throw out the old and start the new, and hug the kids.

THE END.

 

AFTERAMBLE:

 

The black mob beating white men and women in Cincinnati last week, will probably do more to swell the ranks of white supremacists than any recruiting drive. 

***

I can’t remember if I ever mentioned this in a column before, or told anybody: about two years before George Bush Senior became president in the US, I meditated and asked Nima (my entity, spirit, subconscious, whatever) who would be the next Prez. She said only two words: “Bush. Father.” I didn’t know what she meant. Was if someone with bushy eyebrows? Would he be called the father of his country, like George Washington? It never occurred to me that the name could be “Bush,” so I don’t think I put it in the column. It would have been dramatic proof, not that I was psychic, but that there was and is something that knows the future far beyond our comprehension. (Or how did Nima know, how could “she” point out the one person in 335,000.000 who would be the next president, even before the candidates were chosen?)

Why didn’t I write that in the column and brag about it later? For one simple reason that has held me back from many things: lack of confidence. I and my siblings were sexually abused as children from (my) age of seven onward. Our mother not only allowed the abuse, she participated in it — not physically, but by arranging situations where one of us would be alone with her stepfather, the pedophile. (In one instance, she sent my 12-year-old sister to live in the pedophile’s house for the 10 day Christmas holiday. Evidently, he made her…When, at 20 years old, I remembered what happened, and kicked the grandfather and grandmother out of my mother’s apartment. (For which my grandmother called me a “sex maniac.”) I wish I could go back there now and smash her face in. Unfortunately, all the villains are dead.) When I confronted my mother after I learned about her plan to send my little sister to the pedophile’s dungeon, she refused to stop it. This realization of my own mother’s evilness felt like I was pressing my head against a red hot stove element. My head literally exploded with stars and fire, and I had no thoughts. Here’s the weird part: later that day I totally forgot about my sister and what was going to happen to her. I didn’t remember until another 20 years later, when I was in my 40s. I should have killed my grandfather just to prevent what he did to my little sister. In fact, that day I was mulling over buying a rifle and shooting him. I didn’t because I was scared to go to hell for eternity for murder. But I realize now I should have murdered him. Even God could not protest such an action. But I didn’t.

Now, here’s my question: why did God give me psychic capabilities and a high IQ (154 in high school) and then cause me to be abused to the point where I lacked almost all the confidence I needed to use those gifts? Is this God’s little joke? Is it frustration training? Does God toy with us? Is there even a God? I know there is spirit, and that that spirit is extremely awake and knowing. I know there is karma, and fate in the form of DNA. I’ve seen all this. But I can’t claim I’ve ever seen God. I did hear a huge voice once while I was lying on the grass in Stanley park with a semi-girlfriend. All of a sudden this huge, silent voice filled the white caverns of the clouds and the whole sky and the grassy fields and trees. It said: YOU ARE NOT ALONE.”

And nothing else. So maybe I did hear God. 

I just don’t know. I do know life is good and existence is a miracle, and that’s enough to justify any minor disappointment. But God, what are you doing?

Ghislaine Maxwell, the famous female pedophile who “captured” young women for her partner, Epstein, has Sun and 3 planets, Saturn, Mars and Mercury, in her 8th house. The 8th rules sex, pregnancy, perversion, control, power, crime, secrecy, and such things. She was the perfect predator. Mars and Saturn conjunct hint at repressed hatred and physical cruelty. Mercury adds the silver tongue. Saturn is the ruler of her Sun, and of the house of sex. Mars rules violence and male aggression. Mercury is her ruler, as she is Gemini rising. All this, in her sector of sexual and power temptations! In her Capricorn Sun birth chart, Ghislaine’s Moon is in Leo, Capricorn’s sex sign. So she loves attention and likes to work in “romantic sexual” areas. Leos are usually very principled, so what made her “kidnap” young women whom she knew were going to be defiled and hence live a ruined life?  My guess: to capture a man — Jeffrey Epstein.

Jeffrey Epstein, Maxwell’s partner who purportedly committed suicide while in jail awaiting trial, was an Aquarius native. He was Sagittarius rising, so he travelled the world and was friendly to everyone. The ruler of his Aquarius Sun, the planet Uranus, was in the eighth house of sex and all its byways. This “guiding planet” (Uranus) was in Cancer, in a degree that Carelli describes as “a coil of rats’ tails in an attic” and “many devils were entered into him.” (From Luke 8:30.)

His Mars and Venus are very closely joined in Pisces. Had he lived, and been incarcerated, he would’ve been one of those convicts that women pursue while they’re in jail. These two planets conjunct in the birth chart give a person a seductive manner, and indicate someone who is usually very successful in romance. They sit in Pisces, a sign that finds it hard to stick to a middle road between dominance and submission, and sometimes out of moral laziness, sometimes for other reasons, will choose to dominate. Once we’ve made the choice, we have to find someone that we are able to dominate. Someone weaker, hopefully naïve, maybe not totally developed so still malleable – underage girls. With his Aquarius Sun and Sage rising, he probably thought what he was doing was justified, even a part of natural biological processes.

Epstein’s moon is in the fifth house of romance, in impulsive Aries. Moon in the fifth often indicates someone who likes working around children, as a caregiver or teacher, etc. But Aries can very aggressive, and the moon in Aries is particularly that way. Also, the moon always refers us to Cancer, which is the sign in Jeffery’s chart where his ruler, Uranus, is lodged in an unusually “evil” degree. (Described above as “rats’ tails,” etc.)

His co-conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell: he was her boss, she was his burden. He was Aries rising at birth and she was Gemini rising – each other’s partnership and marriage signs. Her Mars, sun, mercury, Saturn and part of Fortune were in the sign Capricorn in her eighth house of sex and all its byways. That’s almost half her planets. Like Jeffrey (for they both had a significant 8th house) she could have been a detective or an accountant, a researcher or a medical doctor, a economist or investment advisor. But, as with her partner, something turned her in the direction of this house’s main lure: sex and its obsessions. 

As a Capricorn, she likes to control others, but will seldom appear to be a control freak. She has a Leo Moon, which inclines her toward romance, and toward partnerships with Aquarians (Jeffrey). He has a Moon in the 5th — Leo’s house (so labelled because Leo is the fifth sign. (If, say, the Moon was in Virgo, but in the 2nd house, we’d call it “Taurus’s house,” as Taurus is the second sign. So the 8th house is Scorpio’s.)

She’s a Cap, so her ruling planet, her “guide,” is Saturn. In her birth chart, Saturn is right on Jeffrey’s Sun. 

Well, enough!

We haven’t heard much from Antifa the last year or so. Maybe, like the Democrats, they have lost their leader. Or maybe they’re scared that Trump, unlike Biden, will crush their outrageous and illegal violence. Antifa was Biden’s little pet, kind of like Queen Elizabeth’s corgi dogs. But Biden is no more than an empty howl from the depths of dementia, and the pets now must return to their cages.

What I like about getting old is that all of life’s beauties slowly drift back to me, from standing in the snow at one or two years old and the crisp, cold busy street, to …. now.

For our own benefit, we should not be prejudiced. Prejudice is a form of self protection, coming from fear of the unknown. A black man is really unknown to a white man in early stages of inter-relating. 

I’m sure science will say that the more diverse the gene pool of a nation or area, the healthier the population will be. So any prejudice against immigrants of any stripe or colour is really a demand that the host country and its citizens be kept clean of what is seen as dirty or frightening  – in other words be kept free of new DNA. However, the more diverse the DNA, the more diverse the talents of the citizenry.

Prejudice, besides the social evils, violence and injustices it breeds, is also bad for the human race on another level.  If prejudice is essentially the fear of the unknown, a mechanism placed in us by nature, then at our present stage of evolution this fear has largely distilled into caution. Even caution, as I know too well, can impede progress. And profit. The same fear will prevent us from being exploratory beings, the scientists and inventors, artists and thinkers that advance our society. They often do so by thinking outside the box or daring to go beyond some boundary. Without them, we would likely not advance as a civilization or a nation.

Heard on the news: Israel’s land mass is 1/648th the land owned/governed by Arabs. So all the Mideast war scenarios and terrorists are really a case of huge nations (land-wise) trying to crush a pimple. If the mid East was an adult human body, Israel would be 4 ounces, or about the weight of 2 or 3 fingers.

When you feel sorry for the people of Gaza, remember that in a poll six months ago, 85% of Gazans fully supported Hamas and its murders of Jews. 85% of Gazans believe every Jew should die. 85% of Gazans approve of the October 7 massacre of Israelis. But they should have food, give them food.
