Champion Max?

We have written on this blog before about the young Dutch Formula-1 driver Max Verstappen, who is the current leader in the battle for the world championship. There are now seven races to go, the last Grand Prix of the season is on 12 December and then it will be clear if Verstappen will win….

Air!

In December last year we had the Great Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in the first degree of Aquarius, and this means the most important mundane-astrological cycle has definitively moved over into the Air element. This has caused the Corona crisis, a change of elements only happens once in 200 years, so this brings a…

Kabul

Our post last week provoked some Twitter reactions from scientific sceptics, who adopted the usual condescending attitude. The problem of such comments is that these critics hardly know what they are talking about. They don’t know what astrology really is, what it does and what is achieves. It is a good scientific principle that if…

Taliban

Last week the news was dominated by the chaotic and dangerous evacuations of embassy staff and others from Kabul in connection with the seizure of power by the Taliban in Afghanistan. The evacuation is a disgrace for the governments involved, yes some people have been brought into safety, but that is all you can say….

Afghanistan

This week the radical-islamist Taliban seized power again in Afghanistan, power they lost twenty years ago in the aftermath of 9/11, when a Western alliance led by the US occupied the country.

Germany had not experienced such a flood in almost sixty years, the damage done is enormous, the number of deaths is more than 180 now. Other countries were…

The transition of the Great Conjunctions from Earth to Air signs in 1980-2020 have caused many political changes. As could be expected in this time of transition, the establishment was confronted with strong opposing forces, in some way promoting radical solutions. Often these were forces resisting the movement to the Air element (globalization, migration, loss…

VRooom!

Last Sunday Formula-1 driver Max Verstappen won the Grand Prix of France in style and by this victory he strengthened his leader position in the ranking for the world title.The season is still long, there are 23 Grand Prixs and the one in France was the eighth, but he seems to have a good chance…

Lilibet Diana

On 6 June the daughter of the “exiled”royal pair Meghan Markle and  (ex-) Prince Harry was born in Santa Barbara, California. The child received the name Lilibet Diana, Lilibet is a pet name for Queen Elisabeth and the combination with Diana relfects the whole family drama. So it seems  inevitable that this family history can…
