First of all I was wondering about that sparky FM of Feb 12th, a day after my birthday, and what had become of it with its ominous partile square to Uranus. What could it entail? can you think of anything? A celebrity divorce perhaps, some sort of split, a breakup....of the worlds tectonic plates, a lonely Europa left adrift on the world stage as it slowly sinks into impotent insignificance. Maybe a few clues in the symbols? Leo 25°- A large camel crossing a vast and forbidding desert. A long haul, calling for perseverance and endurance; wearisome suffering? longing for a distant goal? an impossible dream? stubborn determination? proud self reliance? Does it sound redolent of a feisty man of small stature with first letter 'Z'.

And opposite the Sun at 25 Aquarius- A butterfly with the right wing more perfectly formed

The keyword is UNIQUENESS.

When positive, the degree is a genius for turning deficiency into a real asset, and when negative, unhappy and rebellious conceit.

And who may that be?

Is Trump deserting Europe?​

This is down to Pluto's current residence in 3 degrees of Aquarius symbolised as ''A Deserter From the Navy''

from Lynda Hill

Commentary: ‘A Deserter From the Navy Stands Suddenly Aware of a Dawning Truth: Freedom is Never the Result of Compromise’ shows someone who’s come to the conclusion that staying in a situation that stretches, tests or ‘Compromises’ his needs, desires and values in some way is not worth the energy that has to go into it. Like being in the ‘Navy’, perhaps he had signed up for something for the long haul. He was expected to fulfill some employment, destiny, mission, or perhaps staying committed to a relationship. Now there’s been a realization that the mould cast for him just doesn’t work. It doesn’t satisfy his inner desires and longings. He may have been able to adjust to the situation for a while, but the time has come when he has to leave, bail out or jump ship.

from now a period of less frenzied activity should eschew until around March 13th - 17th when antagonism increases again between US and Europe due to Mars going direct and over old ground that needs further negotiation and revision.

Interestingly the last Pluto station retrograde was at 3 AQ back in May 2nd, 2024 just after this headline..
U.S. House of Representatives pass bills providing military aid to Ukraine
The U.S. House of Representatives passed bills providing military aid to Ukraine on April 20, 2024.

Recently Mars in Cancer has been retrograding back and forth t-squaring Chiron in Aries and the Nodal axis. If Mars in Cancer represents USA right now then certainly Europe is poor, suffering Chiron!

This wound won't heal anytime soon.

In a similar vein whilst Saturn conjoined Nessus at 19 Pisces JD Vance made his controversial speech about Free Speech to shocked EU leaders. It may have been true but it has apparently 'backfired'.
https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/worl...S ... 893e&ei=13
The 19 Pisces symbol is symbolised as -
A master instructing his pupil​
A reference to his relationship to Trump perhaps as its on 6th cusp or the performance of the speech which possessed a whiff of a Schoolmaster admonishing his pupils. And perhaps a warning of NO! (Saturn) to future arms/warfare(6th).

The standout aspect though is the square of Mercury (speech) to Sedna (abandonment/cutting ties). It must have sounded coldly ruthless to the ears of the Europeans but then it could be said the truth hurts.

My impression of the mysterious death of Hollywood legend Gene Hackman and wife, Betsy Arakawa, was an implication of suicide from what I saw of the astrology. The pisces emphasis and strong neptune influence point toward that way and Mars position feels to be more that of frustration than angry confrontation. In the Solar return chart one degree stuck out to me - 21 Cancer; “A young woman is waiting for a sailing ship” this Mars symbol suggests ''escape'' to somewhere better perhaps? Who knows where the 'waiting' fits in other than in the rather passive sense implied by the symbolism. However, stories of a violent end have appeared recently and at least one well known astrologer suggested a violent end on X/Twitter. I don't see much evidence of violence in the chart and will stick to a death by their own hands for now. Well what do you think, guys? Any clues?

He comes across strongly to me as someone who marches to his own drum so preferring to die quietly at home wouldn't surprise me...why did he leave the door open? his dog caged remain mysteries but I'm sure there is a simple explanation.

Hi Greg - can you add the data details for the chart(s) shown here?

Hi Deb, yes transits are for 17th Feb 2025 when Gene Hackmans heart pacemaker stops. We don't as yet have any detailed information about his Wife who was still a mere 65 yrs old. Or of course the dog but 17th Feb seems a reasonable time to use for Mr. Hackman at least for now.

Sabian -- A Woman awaiting a sailboat (cancer-22)

A woman shown here is meant to represent ''emotion, yearning, deep feeling'' so that week of waiting to be found must have felt like a lifetime. Did he, Gene Hackman the oscar-winning actor even want to be found? Suffering from Alzheimers his best days were long behind him so what was left? I was surprised he had no social care at all....maybe that was where the plan came in to both (?) go it alone but real life so often tears up all those plans. I feel for his Wife who was so young and would suspect that Mr. Hackman was happy to go when he did anyway.

OK Anti-Trumpers, not long to wait now. The backlash may be about to somewhat belatedly begin as even the likes of Farage and Meloni pipe down (unusual for them) and the more liberal politicians slowly join forces. It's not just the forthcoming Eclipses but the applying progressed Moon conjunct to Uranus that raised the alarm. I reckon the backlash took time to really take hold due to the sheer shellshock of subsequent events. Peak Moon-Uranus volatility/activism is around April 1st (easy to remember!).

Speaking of which, UK PM Keir Starmer will be gone within ''months'' according to Archie Dunlop, which is a bold prediction (esp. as polls show Starmer's popularity is increasingly on the rise! ). Archie is a good astrologer and getting more and more Youtube views so one hopes it hasn't all gone slightly to his head. Oh well..... 'Fortune favours the Brave' as they say.......

Looking at a few charts to guage whether Putin accepts a ceasefire. The Pluto exactly opposite the Leo ascendant in this Sun-Saturn chart seems to suggest a distinct no but it was the transit on the day to Sun/Sat from the moon that sealed it. Other charts also seemed to swing that way.

In hope some points to the chart like the sextile to Uranus in 11th (Aims/Future) are more positive suggesting some room for manoeuvre. in the future.

The hatch of the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft opened March 16 at 1:35 a.m. ET and the members of Crew-10 entered the Space Station with the rest of their excited Expedition 72 crew.
