I would just like to note that Sturgeon has been cleared of breaking ministerial code today, the day that Jupiter transits exactly square with her natal Saturn. Apparently there is something happening tomorrow in regard to her misleading parliament (as I said, I am not up on the politics of this) an...

i too reached a similar conclusion to yours - this next year from the solar return 2021 looks much more challenging... i expressed this in my last comment from yesterday towards the bottom... we seem to have a similar viewpoint in a predictive sense at this time.. hopefully others will read your po...

I will try to make this as brief and as simple as I can. Here are Sturgeon’s current PDs: https://i.ibb.co/tMSJWYL/NS-PDs.png [/url] Sturgeon's directed ASC is currently in the Mercury bounds of Scorpio, with the last aspect being the trine with Mercury itself. Mercury is in the natal 10th, appearin...

Based on just the Pluto transits to Sturgeon and the Scottish chart I predicted Sturgeon was in for an exceptionally tough period from late 2020 onwards. And how do you see it resolving, Mark? I don't have any knowledge of the political intricacies, but my sense from Sturgeon's chart is that this p...

Hi James, I hope I can comment on this chart over the weekend, but I wanted to say regarding this: 'i generally wonder and raise concern about the persons mental quality and character' Let's just say that I am not surprised that angular, fallen malefics have control/connection over Sturgeon's lots o...

I would only caution not to use essential dignity as a shorthand for 'good' or 'fortunate'. If you have the moon in Cancer applying to a square with Saturn in Aries, it is going to be more problematic for whatever it signifies than the moon in, say, Gemini applying to a trine with Jupiter. Essential...

If you want to ban the use of the sidereal zodiac here, then do it, but, please,, unlike the Traditional forum and Tom's censorship, acknowledge that it isn't a decision based on either historical or contemporary practice, but rather the views of the particular moderator. Did I ban anything? I said...

Well that isn't true. You are conflating Indian astrology with the sidereal zodiac. There are a few of us around who use the sidereal zodiac and most of the standard techniques you'll find in early Traditional astrological texts. We have a sidereal section clearly defined. Again, this isn't the sid...

StellarTiggy- If you want to use sidereal, I would post this in the sidereal forums. I can move the thread for you if you want. We do western astrology interpretations here. Using a sidereal chart and applying western methods is not standard for either approach. For example, in sidereal methods the...

My observations have shown that Venus and Jupiter are not particularly benefic. Well, your anecdotal observations would be counter to many years of traditional astrology theories and applications. As far as Jupiter being present at death, Jupiter can bring relief or release. Also, benefics may stil...

Thanks James. I have been around, but have just not had the time to do much astrology the last couple of years. Thanks also for highlighting the position of Mars in India's national chart. I haven't looked at any national charts at all as I just find the sheer volume of them bewildering; I wouldn't ...

Hi James, I recently started to look into mundane astrology, and I was immediately drawn to the eclipse this coming weekend as it occurs in Gemini with Mars in overcoming square. In my admittedly limited experience, that has never been a good sign for events to come. Added to this, neither benefic c...
