Transits!!??

Our second cousins in modern astrology tend to spend a lot of time on studying transits to which they ascribe a lot of importance. Traditional astrologers however are much less enthousiastic about the fast-moving planets which every day make a lot of aspects on natal factors. The reason is that most of these fleeting connections…

Ice-cold case

Last week there was an unexpected development in one of the most notorious cold cases in recent history, the murder of Swedish prime minister Olof Palme in 1986.

Court Astrology

Last week we took a look at the current progressions in the US chart (the Great Conjunction chart of 18 March 1762, 11:33:32 LMT, Asc 8.59 Cancer). It was impressive to see how only one progression of the Sun over a very powerful fixed star, over Antares could describe the situation  so clearly. Anatres, the…

The end of the cycle

In the whole Corona crisis the US  have a remarkable role. First they seemed to escape the epidemic, a somewhat naive thought, but now the virus is striking mercilessly, disrupting the whole country.

Normally abnormal

Last week we took a look at the current solar return of New York City and as we could expect, there are very negative indications to be seen. The Big Apple is the epicentre of the Wuhan virus epidemic (it is remarklable how the name of the virus has evolved from Wuhan virus to Corona…

The Big Apple Eclipsed

Of all the cities in the world it seems that New York is most heavily affected by the Corona crisis, it is called the “epicentre of the wordlwide Corona crisis”  in the media. The mundane charts of this city about which so many songs were written ,must indeed be very dark. But how do we…
