WEEKLY FORECAST

 

  ARIES:  March 21-April 19

Work, work, work — this is your lot, Aries, for the few weeks ahead. Don’t launch any new projects (nor buy equipment) before September 15. Instead, protect, ongoing projects, relationships, and situations from delay, indecision, mistakes, and missing supplies; or reprise one or more of these from the past. Love remains sweet and romantic, but won’t “move forward” until next week onward. At the same time (Sept. 3/4) your good income/$ luck will slow until the end of 2023 — then will shower rewards/luck, Jan. to May, 2024. All that said, Sunday starts six weeks of relationship volatility — and potential partnership — but don’t jump before Sept. 15, UNLESS this is an old flame.

Sunday is a super day for your career, status, and ambitions. Even tho’ it’s Sunday, charge ahead, call the boss, whatever. Popularity, friends, new hopes, flirting — these buoy your heart Mon./Tues. Practical matters face obstacles (except before 8:30 am PDT Mon.) so enjoy, have fun, rather than pursue goals. Retreat, rest, ponder (don’t plan) liaise with gov’t or management, be charitable, spiritual, Wed./Thurs. This interval flows pretty smoothly. Your energy and charisma rise nicely Fri./Sat. — charge ahead, get things done! But lower assertiveness, don’t be a bully, Friday morning (PDT).

 

  TAURUS:  April 20-May 20

The weeks ahead, emphasize romance, creativity, a gambling instinct, beauty, pleasure, and charming kids. However, stick with ongoing partners and/or projects before September 15. Meanwhile, an old flame might show up. If so, look at the past you had with this person. If it was good, then embrace this again. That holds for everything pleasurable, except one thing: creativity. This is usually a bad period to rewrite something you wrote before or tackle that old painting again… Usually this leads to muddling and more confusion. These months — to May 2024 — favour you immensely, in intellectual, international, legal, media zones, and might bring the kind of love that can lead to a wedding. This dovetails with a possible old flame now to Sept. 15, and/or a new flame, Sept. 15 onward.

Sunday blesses you in those areas just listed, intellectual, international, love, etc. Take a plunge in some way! Your ambitions, worldly status, and career pressures are emphasized Mon./Tues. — act Monday, early best. Caution Tues. An optimistic, cheerful, popular and flirty influence lifts your heart Wed./Thurs. Charge ahead — issue and accept invitations, party, flirt, relax! But retreat for a breather Fri./Sat. — a good interval for liaising with the gov’t or “head office,” charity, meditation, resting and pondering — but don’t make long-range plans.

 

  GEMINI:  May 21-June 20

The weeks ahead, emphasize your domestic situation, Gemini. At work, you might be tasked with finding a new premises, or renewing a lease or whatever. Security, family, love, gardening, and nutrition, camping and vacations — these are favoured until late September. However, don’t start any new projects, nor major purchases, nor even relationships, especially in this domestic area, before September 15. Until then, work on old projects, or simply putter around. Patience and waiting could be your secret advantage right now. Sunday starts six weeks of intensity in romance, creativity, sports and teaching children. You’ll need to be more gentle with children. Remember, only an old flame qualifies for a new relationship before September 15.

Sunday is for sex, finances, secrets and investigation, and medical and lifestyle concerns. Plunge into at least one of these, as luck puts wings on your heels. Intellectual, international, legal, philosophical and cultural, and media zones grab your interest Monday/Tuesday. It’s very simple: Mondays lucky, Tuesday is not. Be ambitious Wed./Thurs., when your worldly status and prestige relations come into focus. Both days are mildly helpful, so proceed confidently (without starting anything new). Happiness, hopes, social delights and popularity, flirtations, and entertainment, add to your life Friday/Saturday. Both sweet and sour combine. Best action: Friday pm.

 

  CANCER:  June 21-July 22

The weeks ahead fill with paperwork, communications, contacts, errands and short trips. Usually, this will be a great time to start a Mail campaign, or a podcast or anything similar. However, until September 15, anything brand new that you tackle will likely fail. So stick with ongoing projects and subjects, or reprise something from the deep past. (E.g., resurrect an article you wrote a decade ago.) You are aided in all your communications with the optimism and affection you feel for everyone in general, especially for coworkers. Sunday starts six weeks of intense emotions and actions on the home front. Be gentle with children. Some Cancers might start a home-based business (e.g., sell that jam) – but do this after September 15.

Sunday brings opportunities and relationships — great, potentially rewarding ones, so plunge in. (But remember, no one new before Sept. 15.) Life’s mysteries, medical and lifestyle choices, lust, financial actions, commitments, and consequences fill Mon./Tues. Go slow, be cautious. Monday better. A wise, mellow mood flows over you Wednesday/Thursday – pursue intellectual, international, legal, cultural or media goals/experiences. Both days are good, and something might reach a climax. Be ambitious Fri./Sat. — best time, Friday pm to Saturday dawn (PDT).

 

  LEO:  July 23-Aug. 22

You’re still “desirable,” Leo, at least to early October. Glances, words will tell you so. Your career and reputation remain under lucky auspices. Don’t start any new projects, relationships nor major purchases before Sept. 15. Instead, protect ongoing ones from delays and misunderstandings, and/or reprise a project from the past. Applies esp. to money and possessions.

Sunday starts six weeks of “hurried” messaging, trips, paperwork and many quick little chores. This day offers good luck in pursuit of sex, finances, discovery, medical and lifestyle choices. Relationships fill Mon./Tues. Monday’s fine, but go slow, be diplomatic Tues. Finances, debt/investments, lust, temptations, medical and lifestyle concerns — these fill Wed./Thurs. Both days are mild, helpful, rather neutral, tho’ you might overspend Wed. Gentle love, wisdom, international, legal, philosophical and cultural zones attract you Fri./Sat. — a good interval, but avoid an argument Friday morning (PDT).

 

  VIRGO:  Aug. 23-Sept. 22

Your energy, charisma and clout reach a year high until late September, Virgo. However, no one, you esp., should start any brand new project, relationship nor major purchase before Sept. 15. (Then charge ahead hard to Sept. 22.) Your intellectual and cultural sides meet good fortune for another nine months. Sunday starts 6 weeks during which money will flow to you in larger amounts, but so will bills/spending. Careful — bank it! A casual intimacy might lure you. The gov’t seems to be delaying answers — but they should start coming after this week.

Sunday’s for romance, creativity, pleasure and beauty — a superb day! Tackle chores Mon./Tues. Monday’s better; Tuesday’s a bit disruptive. Relationships spice your

days Thurs./Fri. — a love situation might reach a climax. All’s well. Secrets, underground currents, heightened intuition, major financial actions, commitments and consequence, fill Fri./Sat. Avoid a fight Friday morning (PDT). Best time: noon Friday to pre-dawn Sat.

 

  LIBRA:  Sept. 23-Oct. 22

Whatever else I say, Libra, remember to not start any brand new projects, relationships, or major purchases before September 15. Instead, work with ongoing situations, or reprise something (someone?) from the past. An old flame, one who was a light, fun, social lover, might show up, or recently has. Your social life gets a boost in September, which is odd, considering that this is your “retreat” month. Rest, ponder, deal with gov’t and “head office,” be charitable and spiritual. Remember I kept telling you lately that anyone new who entered would be a burdensome or restrictive mate? Well, that influence ends now (Sunday). So, looking ahead, Sept. 15 to Oct. 12 could give you the option of “accepting” someone who might make a good mate — or at least a good friend.

Be home, domestic, Sunday. A beautiful day, so hug the kids, arrange a picnic, whatever. Romance (or at least the notion) arrives Mon./Tues. So do a creative urge, risk-taking, beauty and pleasure. Remember, tho, your energy and charisma are low. Take life in little bits, not big pieces. Relationships, opportunities (only old ones count) and relocation themes play Fri./Sat. — A pretty good interval, but avoid an argument Friday morning.

 

  SCORPIO:  Oct. 23-Nov. 21

A fun month has started, Scorpio. Your popularity will rise, your optimism too, and social delights, flirting, sports and entertainment fill the days. Higher-ups still favour you, but their hands are tied — until Sept. 3, which starts a very favourable time (to Oct. 9) for your career and worldly status. However, DON’T start any new projects, relationships nor big purchases until Sept. 15 onward. For six weeks, avoid belligerent people and dare alleys. You will feel that work is a real burden, partly, because you just want to get out and play! Relationships are a source of great good luck for you during the next 9 months, but they will “tread water” until the end of 2023.

Sunday’s for errands, calls, paperwork, trips, contacting others — it’s a lucky day, so aim your missives in lucky directions. But steer toward home, family Mon./Tues. Monday’s better — be mildly cautious Tues. Romance, creative surges and gambling urges, pleasure and beauty fill Wed./Thurs. All’s well — a love or social situation could peak. Tackle chores Fri./Sat. You’ll get things done, but perhaps not the one thing you really wanted to do. Careful with tools, avoid spats, Friday morning (PDT — into the afternoon EDT).

 

  SAGITTARIUS:  Nov. 22-Dec. 21

Your career, prestige relations, ambitions and worldly status are in focus now to late September, Sage. You’ll face pressures. But remember: start nothing brand new, including projects, relationships, before Sept. 15. So shore up past or ongoing projects, be alert for delays, indecision, mistakes, misunderstood directions, missing supplies, “no show,” etc. If you plan to launch a project (those plans might change) schedule it for Sept. 15-22. Lots of work this year, but this work could open the door to a promotion. A social contact could start to look very attractive in the 6 weeks ahead.

Chase $, or shop, Sunday — a fortunate day, so do something special. Errands, calls, texts, travel, paperwork — these fill Mon./Tues. Monday’s better; Tuesday’s disruptive. Sigh and head for home Wed./Thurs. A good interval; you can find peace, rest, rejuvenation, esp. from kids, garden, hiking. If of age, you might decide on a retirement goal. Romance arises Fri./Sat., with a person who might be part of your social group. Avoid a fight Friday morning (PDT — mid-afternoon, EDT). Best time: Friday afternoon to pre-dawn Sat.

 

  CAPRICORN:  Dec. 22-Jan. 19

You face a mellow, intellectual month ahead, Cap. It emphasizes law, ethics, far travel, import/export, insurance, higher learning, cultural affairs — and love. Only one frustration: nothing moves, nothing progresses, before Sept. 15. Until then, deal with the past, or with ongoing situations — expect delays, misunderstandings, missing supplies, indecision, etc. Don’t make medium to long range plans; they will change. An old flame might appear. Your sexual (and financial) side is favoured, mildly lucky, but is also subject to delays, holdbacks, until Sept. 3. This is a great romantic year if you’re single, and September might dovetail into true love.

Your energy and charisma soar Sunday — remember, start nothing brand new, but do charge into things this lucky day, gather allies, solve obstacles, gain attention, state your case. Chase $ (or casual sex) Mon./Tues. — Monday good, but Tuesday needs caution. Errands, paperwork trips and communications fill Wed./Thurs. A good interval, all flows smoothly. You get a major amount done. Head for home Fri./Sat. — rest, hug the kids, garden, nature hike, etc. A good two days but avoid an argument or showdown Friday morning (PDT — afternoon EDT, evening/night in Europe.)

 

  AQUARIUS:  Jan. 20-Feb. 18

Relationships, though still attractive/sweet, or at least amenable, have been “held up” since July. In one more week (not this week) those delays and “non-answers” will dissolve, letting you speak sweet nothings from Sept. 3 to Oct. 8. (Late Sept. into Oct. will be a prime romance phase.) (Whenever I say “romance,” you can also include beauty, pleasure, sports and games, teaching kids.) However, start nothing brand new, relations, big purchases, projects, before Sept.15. An old flame might be on your mind, might appear.

Lie low, rest and contemplate Sunday. An excellent day for liaising with gov’t or management, for solving tax, application, grant or other concerns. Your energy and pizzazz returns nicely Mon./Tues. Get out, do things, see and be seen. Monday’s good; Tuesday’s a bit difficult. Chase money, issue invoices, pay and collect, hug a casual “lover” Wed./Thurs. Buy only routine items, e.g., groceries. (Don’t pay a high price — resist Wednesday’s urge to splurge.) Both days smooth, easy. Errands, easy chores, trips, calls, paperwork, reports fill Fri./Sat. Careful Friday morning (PDT — afternoon, EDT) — avoid an argument. Otherwise, an “okay” interval: reveal no secrets, run from gossip and gov’t mail.

 

  PISCES:  Feb. 19-March 20

Relationships come into high focus, Pisces, through Sept. 22. But until Sept. 15, you should NOT start any brand new relationships, purchases nor projects. In an ongoing bond, your partner might be indecisive, confused, or somehow delayed from embracing your goals. If you’re unattached, an old flame might appear. If it was good, dive in again. If it was bad, say goodbye. Same goes for opportunities and dealings with the public — if there’s a link to the past, good; if not, let it go.

Sunday’s for fun, celebration, optimism, friends, social joys, entertainment, flirting — all good, all day and into the next dawn. But retreat Mon./Tues., lie low, rest, ponder (don’t plan this time around) and deal with gov’t or head office, institutions. Monday’s productive, but Tuesday contains barriers. Your energy and pizzazz pop back Wed./Thurs. — a good interval during which you can accomplish a good amount. Get out, gather allies, tackle ongoing (not new) projects, situations. A relationship might climax. Chase $ and/or casual sex (e.g., you like, not love) Fri./Sat. Avoid a showdown or sharp remark Friday morning (PDT). Friday eve to pre-dawn Saturday flows well, could bring a “date” — but the future of this bond is quite uncertain, it doesn’t fit your social needs and future goals. So just relax, have fun.

THE END.

 

AFTERAMBLE:

 

Evidence is now emerging that Fani Willis, the Scorpio prosecutor in Georgia, was told by Washington, D.C. (i.e., Biden) to indict Trump immediately, THAT NIGHT. So she did. That’s why she indicted Trump BEFORE the jury heard all witnesses (who were told they weren’t needed) and before the jury even had time to vote. Little Fattie Fani single-handedly indicted Trump, ignoring and making impotent the grand jury. That’s illegal, of course, but 1) democrats won’t punish her, and 2) the end justifies any means.

***

They probably will not, but Japan and South Korea should join NATO. [The recently floated idea that the entire world should join NATO was, frankly, dumb. NATO survives partly because it faces one or more common enemies, and shares a common cultural root. A worldwide NATO would have 1) no common enemy, and 2) many diverse cultural roots and beliefs. Internecine violence, anyone?]

***

In one U.S. city, a Black Lives Matter crowd was painting a permanent 15 or 20 foot long message on the sidewalk. About six or seven cop cars were parked along the block, doing nothing.

Across the street, two anti-abortion protesters, wearing “Pre-born Black Lives Matter, Too” T-shirts, were drawing on the sidewalk with chalk — which dissolves in the rain. The cops told the pro-lifers, two college students, to stop drawing with their chalk. They didn’t, so the cops arrested them, and off to jail. A reporter-witness crossed the street and asked the head cop if they were going to arrest the BLM protesters painting the sidewalk. No answer. Why do you arrest those two pro-lifers for doing far less than these BLM protesters, and let the BLM’ers go free? the reporter asked. After a moment of silence, the head cop turned and walked away. End of story.

***

OK, what’s with this Joe Biden 2024 coffee cup advertisement? It shows a grinning Joe with a hellish scarlet glow over his eyes. Is that intentional? It’s the same red that Biden used as a backdrop when he gave his Hitleresque speech, trying to condemn the modern Jew, i.e. the MAGA republican. Does he expect to win by having glowing red — It wasn’t just his eyes, but from the top of the cheekbones to the eyebrows, right across his face ear to ear, that red, aggressive colour. It’s almost like he wants to hint to us that he’s the devil, or Hitler reborn — is this his winning strategy?

***

They should manufacture pots for plants that have a transparent strip about 1 inch wide from top to bottom. This way a gardener could look at the roots, see the development, etc. Some roots are destroyed by light, so these transparent straps could somehow be coated to prevent damage to the roots. I’ll bet millions of apartment container gardeners would buy them, just to see.

***

In the early 20th century, Mexican artist Frida Kahlo painted a whole bunch of self-portraits. The way she portrayed her face is the archetype of how almost all girls, teen to middle age, make up their faces, especially their eyebrows. Kahlo-imitating portraits/paintings have sprung up everywhere in the last decade. (But who’s copying her husband, Rivera Diego?)

***

Another way Trump could at least throw sand in the gears, if not ultimately defeat the indictments against him: Hire only one lawyer per case. The courts nor the laws can force the man to have more than one defence  attorney. Nor can the judge tell a defendant and the defendant’s lawyer that they are not allowed to see all the evidence that the prosecutor has gathered or brought against them. In his federal cases Jack Smith has submitted over 1 million pages of documents.

If a defence lawyer read, annotated and analyzed 250 pages per day, he would be working at a very respectable rate, perhaps even a wearing and unsustainable rate. But say he did this 250 pages every day, five days a week, 50 weeks a year, no holidays except two weeks a year. No one can sustain such a schedule, but let’s say he’s a Superman lawyer. In 50 weeks there are 250 business days, So 250 days times 250 pages per, gives us 62,500 pages per year. To work his way through 1 million pages, this super diligent lawyer will have to work 50 weeks per year five days per week, for 16 solid years. Can the court wait that long? If it did, some kind of statute of limitations would probably apply. But even if it didn’t, Trump and the 2024 presidential election would be over a decade in the rearview mirror.

So the Trump-hating courts (esp. in DC, where judge Chutkan has publicly indicated her hatred for the defendant and his followers) will try to fight it any way they can. The problem for the court is, that this maneuver is perfectly legal and backed up by the court’s own laws.

It’s hard to see what the courts might claim. They could try to claim that this is an abuse of the defendant’s rights. But the defendant’s actions are directly a result of the prosecution placing an unusual burden on the defence. In other words what biased judge Chutkan might call an abuse of defendants’ rights can equally be seen as a mirror or counterpart to the prosecution’s abusive action (overloading the evidence cache)… And a perfectly legal reaction to the prosecution’s somewhat unsavoury actions. Then again, the court might just in a heavy-handed manner refuse the defendant enough time to look at the evidence. This kind of juridical abuse (a judge breaking the law, which Trump-hater Chutkan might try) would immediately open the stairway to the Supreme Court, where it belonged in the first place if it were validly charged. Making Chutkan irrelevant.

(BTW, Chutkan’s a Cancer Sun with Moon, Venus and Uranus in Leo. Trump’s a Leo rising, so if this was all Chutkan’s chart contained, she’d favour Trump. But her Mars is in Taurus, in Trump’s legal/judgement sector, indicating she wants to attack and destroy Trump. Hopefully, she, being essentiality criminal — among other things, holding a huge and probably racist bias against Trump and all Republicans — will be exposed and lose.)

***

Trump’s trial in Georgia: he’s basically charged with telling lies about the election. But “lies” he believed were truth — and still believes. This supposedly is a crime. This trial is prosecuted by little Fani Willis, who’s committed at least three lies, conscious, deliberate lies, one of them designed to cover up an illegal action by herself and her secret Washington masters. THAT’S obstruction of justice.

The defence lawyers should simply demand that she recuse herself, or withdraw what has been shown to be a fraudulent indictment. I’d go further: Fani should be indicted, and jailed for corruption.

Breaking the law by a citizen is not good, and should be punished. But breaking the law by a legal officer, such as a cop or prosecutor, or judge, should be punished at three times the rate. These legal types are supposed to uphold the law, and when they break it, they are not only committing a crime, they are destroying society and its belief systems. (One of Garland’s most heinous crimes.)

***

The defendant in the Georgia trial should be the FBI. They are the only ones who engaged in election interference — that is, besides the Democrats and their “tricks” — just ask Mark Zuckerberg.

***

Here is the bothersome thing: in the 1980s, I predicted that for 250 years, the following would be sources of deception, tawdry actions, bias and, basically, a source of badness. (in those days I didn’t use the word “evil”): universities, courts, judges, lawyers, international relations and trade, religion, publishing, philosophy, ethics, etc. All 9th house things, I said, would be integrally corrupt, a canker on civilization.

But I didn’t foresee how quickly and deeply this would occur. At 40 years in, 2023, already the corruption is solidly rooted. Judges are crooked, prosecutors just play with themselves, universities and libraries support pedophilia (“minor attracted persons” is academia’s new label for those who rape children) MDs experiment on children, surgically altering their sexual organs, profs teach subversion in the class room, etc. We are 40 years into the 250 year span of corruption — mostly in and by the intelligentsia — lawyers, librarians, professors/teachers, etc.

The real essential problem here is that the very ideational and philosophical foundations of our civilization are being distorted, perverted and made obsolete. What follows? Maybe a new, fresh humanity/government, or maybe dictatorship, Sodom and Gomorrah, horrible medical experiments on poor people, etc. (In China, a doctor reports that as he was doing organ removal from a body, the man was alive and watching him.) This would not be such a huge problem if it only lasted, say five years or 10 years. But this indication of corruption in legal, scholastic, and media areas will last over 2 centuries more. I guess the question is: how low can you go?

***

Of course, there are brave professors and lawmakers and librarians and lawyers who speak out about the new slimy demagoguery under Pope Biden, which excludes all ideas except its own.

Envision eight people standing in a row: at one end is the hero professor who says that we should listen to conservative as well as liberal ideas, and in fact that we should listen to all ideas in the world. He is so firm in his beliefs that he will defend them if attacked, but otherwise he’s not aggressive.

The next six people are cowards, or simply ordinary people. (Or they are “common knowledge/opinion.”)  The eighth person is a professor also, but one who ONLY believes in certain ideas such as medically altering children, pedophilia, election tampering, parenting is a sin and should be handed over to teachers, to queers, trannies, groomers and pederasts. This eighth person is an adamant leftist aggressor, loud, overbearing, and very willing to use violence, very willing to cancel people in their careers, very willing to medically experiment on children without letting the parents know. Very willing to tell the entire world that you (the other man, the prof at the other end) are not leftist, that you hold heinous, even criminal ideas, and you should be shut up in whatever way works. This person Is not really shouting at the person who holds the opposite view at the other end of the line. He is really shouting to cow and persuade and seduce and bully the six ordinary guys between them. This is ironically one of the flaws of democracy.

The six in-betweeners fear losing their jobs, their spouses their children their income their house their shelter their car, so, in a very rational action, they remain quiet. Some will remain quiet but think Republican, but over time most will start to think leftist, mainly because all they see or hear are leftist viewpoints. Fox news is right of centre, but does have democratic guests sometimes. But the six other stations (which are piped into the six in-betweeners, or in a weird way are the six) broadcast leftist viewpoints.

The same situation exists with newspapers. I know nothing about radio.

It — this recipe of biased, controlled (by FBI) media with the law fare waged now by Genial Joe Satan — looks like a classic ideological takeover. It’s similar to Mao’s march in 1934/35, or Hitlers climb up the Reichstag, but it is being attempted on a lighter scale. The attempted coup(s) of 2016 and succeeding years were too light, so they failed. The impeachments were a deeper dive into the carnival of manufactured crimes. But they too failed, mainly because they had no evidence and both attempts were basically Nancy Pelosi’s hot air. Her vengeful (and stupid) balloon sagged, so the Democrats went on to phase 3, an even deeper dive: This is the lawfare campaign being waged right now. You’ve got to admit, those Democrats are darn creative and, unfortunately, have no shame. In this parade of three major attempts to destroy a political opponent, all of them based on phoney interpretations of the laws, but each one digging in a little deeper and more seriously than the prior one. And each one becoming a little less believable to the public.

This is the price Biden pays: increasing exposure of his own criminal machinations in exchange for an increasingly serious threat to Trump, whom he hasn’t been able to wound so far, unless you believe, as I do , the election really was stolen — The biggest wound of all.  (I can prove it was stolen in one paragraph, and did so in the August 20 AFTERAMBLE. Of course, no one in the Trump camp reads me. Too bad.)

These lawyer type pundits on CNN and MSNBC etc. repeatedly bray that Trump committed obstruction of justice. They cling to this “obstruction” theme because it’s both a really serious charge, and they know it’s the only one that has a chance of handcuffing Trump. They’re justified in their fictions ands character assassination, they feel, because they envision Trump as obstruction incarnate; he’s the epitome. It was the same charge levelled at Trump during the entire Russia hoax and both impeachment hoaxes. (And why are none of those smelly, pie-dropping cows — Pelosi, Hillary, Strozk, Comey, Shitty Shiff, Nadler, Raskin, Brennan, nine Biden family members and fifty others — in jail?)

But the proof lies in the pudding: you cannot be legally blamed for obstructing injustice. Say you’re standing at the bus stop and a man comes up with a gun and starts beating a woman on the head and you pull out your gun and shoot the man. Should you then be charged for obstructing the man’s injustice? On a perhaps more subtle level, the same principle should hold true: if you are unjustly being charged and know it, then obstructing the actions of those trying to further the injustice, should be acceptable behaviour to any court. (Limiting rules should apply, but killing would not be excluded, along the “stand your ground” laws.) This present lawfare might be Biden’s last hurrah, or he and Garland and Wray, the three witches at their cauldron (“toil, toil and trouble”) might have one more major weapon to throw at Trump sometime in 2024.

But you know, it’s all karma. On the negative side, bad karma, some of us are paying it, and some of us are making it. On the plus side, good karma, some of us are receiving it, and some of us are creating it. (I think there is a hint of imagination in performing good karmic acts.)

***

Bernie Sanders, the American independent senator, is a Virgo Sun, Aries Moon, and Scorpio rising. The Scorpio makes him durable and stubborn. The Aries makes him fiery and combative. The Virgo makes him detail-oriented, basically honest (tho’ he’s attracted graft as every pol does — does he reject or accept?  His wife was charged with financial fraud or something).

***

Teachers’ unions are there to protect teachers, not children.

***

And a farewell to my political items in the AFTERAMBLE. I know, I’ve promised/intended this in the past, and I always returned to the arena. However, now I think both sides have emerged as their true selves, so I say: have at it. Despite the apparent overwhelming advantage/strength of the democrats, they will lose — not necessarily the election, but the nation.

***

I brag about having visited heaven two or three times. Perhaps more accurately, the afterlife. I don’t know if there is a place of punishment after life. I only know what I saw, which was a vast, peaceful — did they used to call it empyrean? — a place inhabited by benevolent, silent beings or islands of “is-ness” that floated around a central, big, brown crystal. (Brown is a mixture of all colours. We tend to stigmatize it, to associate it with a negative mood or cooked meat, dirt. But that’s just a fashion, as brief as a stir of evening breeze in the morning of our civilization.) As I wrote before, each of these points of light seemed to contain whole worlds, complete with hills and valleys and pastures in the forest. This sounds silly, but it’s really what I saw. Of course, often the image is in the eye of the beholder. Maybe it was a symbol, or just a kind reaction, to show me something familiar, like a valley on earth. (How did I get there? In one instance — this one of the glowing lights — I was meditating when this long white being wrapped its arms around me, and we both flew almost instantly to this place.)

Perhaps, if there is no place of punishment, no hell, there is some other consequence for those who committed heinous crimes during their corporeal life on earth. Perhaps the consequence is self-created. (That was Dante’s thesis.) Perhaps these sullied souls are on the perimeter of these beings, who are like floating lights without shape. Perhaps the very act of doing evil repels one from the light, steers one away from the softer hearts of humanity, and thus these sinners create their own exile, an exile that might be overcome with a change in direction. However, some who commit such crimes and sins cannot see the benefits of changing: they only see the road ahead, and it is gray with pride. I’ve known that pride. It’s a difficult thing to escape.

I didn’t see any evidence either way, but perhaps these free floating lights are organized in this way: the more pure the heart or soul, the closer they are to the centre of the sphere of lights. So you and I will probably be about halfway. (Or maybe a bit better!)

It seems hypocritical to speak disparagingly of the souls of murderers, rapists, etc., (it’s hard to accept they won’t face punishment) if we believe in reincarnation, and that we will have to be born and die and visit heaven perhaps a million times before we complete the corporeal experience — in which, at certain points, we too will be murderers, rapists, thieves — and heroes, lovers, gentle teachers.

No more politics. I don’t like the anger that comes into me when I contemplate American politics. Also, as I mentioned above, I think that both parties, Republicans and Democrats, are pretty well aware of the threats posed by each other.

Although I’m a liberal, I have defended Trump repeatedly, and still do.

As for Joe Biden, I worry for him. I know there is an afterlife, and I worry about his soul. When the camera caught him glaring at the press while they were leaving the White House, it was obvious that he possessed a core of frozen rage, of hatred. When he realized that he was glaring… which he did for about three or four seconds, a long time *… suddenly one side of his face and lips curled up and he turned it into one of his famous winning Uncle Joe smiles. The strange thing was, that you could see how mechanical and artificial his change was. Put in another way, it revealed that Biden is at core, an angry and vengeful man. Perhaps some of that is early dementia, but I think a lot of it is that he simply hates anyone who asks him revealing questions.

(If you speak these words: “Hello Bob, how are you? Have you been to the store? Where is it?” You will have used up less than 4 seconds. So that glare was longer, maybe 5 or 6 seconds.)

As for Garland, he should roast in hades for quite some time. (That’s my last shot — I hope.)
