This one is going to be centred on Greenland and the Eastern portion of the Canadian Far North. The rest of us will get a partial eclipse only. And the exact moment (for me) will be before the sun rises @ 6:58 am EDT.
There are no inconjuncts, so what you see is what you get.
Happy viewing, wherever you may be.
It took a week before the story finally came out, via The Atlantic Magazine: senior US government officials used a non-secure group chat to discuss the Houthis war plans in advance of the air strikes. We know this because the editor-in-chief at The Atlantic was included in the group chat by mistake.
Need I say more?
The world has a fascination with Sherlock Holmes. Besides the original Basil Rathbone films of yesteryear, there are modern adaptations, mostly for television: Elementary, Sherlock and now Watson.
Premise
One year after Sherlock Holmes’s apparent death at the hands of his archenemy Moriarty in Reichenbach Falls, Dr. John Watson resumes his medical practice by opening the “Holmes Clinic” in Pittsburgh to treat patients with strange and unidentifiable issues. Soon however, Watson must face his past when evidence surfaces indicating that Moriarty is still alive.

We started watching this show on Global TV at episode 5. It seemed intriguing and the group dynamics of his team needed to be explored, so we began binge-watching the earlier episodes from the beginning to catch us up-to-date. Episode 6 was where we stopped last night. Episode 7 (which aired last night) isn’t available on Paramount+ until today. So far, so good.
Yes, it takes some getting used to having someone from a different ethnicity playing Watson, but they changed Moriarty, too: he’s Asian. I guess being an Executive Producer, as well as the lead actor, allows Morris Chestnut some latitude. Although American, his speech patterns are very British, and he wears a waist coat which is anachronistic in a modern setting. His ‘protector’, Shinwell Johnson, played by Richie Coster, has a very thick London accent, so sometimes the full meaning of his delivery is hard to grasp. The rest of the cast are mostly American, and one individual gets to play a set of twins, one with glasses and the other without. The giveaway was the camera shots hardly featured them together, unless one was in the background but out of focus. I’m not sure how they got this photo of them together.
I suspect you’ll enjoy the mysterious illnesses and their cures, since this show is not your regular medical soap opera. You also might learn a thing or two about Shakespeare and British culture.
Just sit back, relax and enjoy the ride.
This film is a trip through history from a singular perspective as witness to what happens through time.
Here is a 2024 American drama film produced and directed by Robert Zemeckis, who co-wrote the screenplay with Eric Roth, based on the 2014 graphic novel by Richard McGuire. Echoing the source material, the film is told in a nonlinear fashion: the story covers the events of a single plot of land and its inhabitants, spanning from the distant past to the 21st century. During the film, the screen is often subdivided into multiple panes, presenting events from different time periods simultaneously.
At times the film is confusing, switching back and forth between episodes in the house’s history, but there is a certain eventuality to it: death. And that has the inherent lesson to be learned. People and events come and go, but the hummingbird goes on, doing what it does every day.
As an elderly man, Richard takes Margaret—who now has dementia—to the empty house in 2024. He reminds her of the time Vanessa, as a child, lost a blue ribbon from school, which triggers her memories of their shared life at the house. The stationary camera then starts to move, and it ends up on a shot of the original house from William Franklin’s mansion roof. A hummingbird appears in the final scene.

Now, I’m being a bit provocative, here. Susan’s angiogram, at Royal Victoria Hospital in Barrie, passed without a hitch. There were no blockages and Susan’s arteries are fine. No, the heart-stopping moment came as the anesthesiologist, Dr. Li, was making sure that Susan didn’t have a DNR (do not resuscitate) order. His exact words were, “If your heart stops during the procedure, do you want us to do everything in our power to start it again?” Susan calmly answered, “Of course.” He then got her to sign the consent form. Meanwhile, I’m sitting on the sidelines, watching Nurse Holly and Lab Tech Susan scrambling to prepare Susan for the procedure, absolutely gobsmacked. It hadn’t occurred to me that she could die!
Looking at the event chart, I can now see that there are two inconjuncts: the Moon and Uranus (the sudden realization that I could lose her); and Neptune and the Ascendant (the mystery of it all).
Comparing the event chart with mine, the Moon is transiting my natal 1st House (of Personality), Pluto is transiting Venus. This was a wakeup call, for sure.
I was mulling over the idea that political activists like Sophie Scholl couldn’t possibly exist in today’s climate. Climate! Of course, Greta Thunberg. Her birth time is unknown, so I’ve randomized the timing of her birth chart. (Since this method has worked before, I think I should trust the process.)
As proof, the position of her Saturn is (more or less) 15 years of age when she started her Friday protests. Evidently, her love of the planet was her motivation, hence the inconjuncts to the Venus/Midheaven conjunction. There is also one inconjunct that links the Moon and Jupiter. I won’t delineate these aspects here but please note that the Saturn inconjunct with Venus would endure for the whole day, while the Moon/Jupiter one wouldn’t.
Well, that’s the question, isn’t it? This image is from Degens Nyheter.se. Obviously, someone else is connecting the dots, too. (And I hadn’t realized that Sophie Scholl’s middle name was Magdalena!)
As you can see Greta’s North Node is within 1° of Sophie’s ‘fatal’ Saturn, and almost 5° from Sophie’s natal Mars. Rather than say Greta is the reincarnation of Sophie, it might be more appropriate to say that she was inspired by Sophie’s actions during the German Nazi regime of World War II.
Her story caught my eye on Facebook, yesterday. It’s hard to believe a 21-year-old woman would sacrifice her life for a just cause. She was beheaded by the Nazis for her resistance work against Hitler.
There’s a lesson in there, somewhere.
They say that anyone whose birth chart has Sun and Mercury within 1° is “combust.”.
Understanding Sun and Mercury Combust
In astrology, the term “combust” refers to a planet being in close proximity to the Sun, within a certain degree range. When Sun and Mercury are combust in a natal chart, it signifies that Mercury is either very close to the Sun or is in the same zodiac sign as the Sun.
Effects of Sun and Mercury Combust
Sun represents the essence of self, vitality, and ego, while Mercury governs communication, intellect, and mental processes. When these two powerful forces come into close contact, their energies intertwine, creating a complex interplay of influences.
Individuals with Sun and Mercury combust in their natal charts may experience heightened mental intensity and a strong sense of self-expression. Their communication style tends to be direct and assertive, often driven by a burning desire to communicate their ideas and opinions.
However, this conjunction can also bring challenges. Mercury, when too close to the Sun, may struggle to express its qualities freely, leading to potential conflicts in communication or difficulties in processing information. It’s like trying to see clearly through the glare of a bright light – the brilliance of the Sun may overshadow Mercury’s nuanced perspective.
In Sophie’s chart, the Sun and Mercury are both @ 18° Taurus. This may explain her life’s path.
Rather than show you the movement’s birth chart, I’m going to compare it to Sophie’s.
One wouldn’t expect to see such synastry between the individual and their chosen cause, but here it is. Most telling is the opposition between Sophie’s natal Moon and the event Moon. That’s what probably stirred her into action with her brother and the others in the resistance movement. Never let it be said that something is ‘just a coincidence’. Universal energies were definitely at work in Sophie’s life.
End of message,
My daughter, Rosanna, sent me a link for this book. When she mentioned the title, my ears perked up. Why? Because the opening paragraph of a monthly newsletter that arrived in my email box this morning used the American phrase ‘warp and woof’ which I take to mean the same thing.
From the angels, love from the heart and the Christ streams down in auric lines of energy, beautifully coloured. Pilgrims carry and ground these energies, helping to weave, repair and complete the warp and woof of light and sound vibration, for the holy vestment of energy that this universe should wear.
See what I mean?
One of these nights
One of these crazy old nights
We’re gonna find out pretty mama
What turns on your lights
The full moon is calling
The fever is high
And the wicked wind whispers and moans
You got your demons you got desires
Well I got a few of my own
Ooh… someone to be kind to in between the dark and the light
Ooh… coming right behind you swear I’m gonna find you
One of these nights
One of these dreams
One of these lost and lonely dreams now
We’re gonna find one
Mmmm… one that really screams
I’ve been searching for the daughter of the Devil himself
I’ve been searching for an angel in white
I’ve been waiting for a woman who’s a little of both
And I can feel her but she’s nowhere in sight
Ooh… loneliness will blind you in between the wrong and the right
Oh-whoa-oh
Ooh… coming right behind you swear I’m gonna find you
One of these nights
(one of these nights…)
Ooh in between the dark and the light
Coming right behind you swear I’m gonna find you
Get ya baby one of these nights
*Nudge, nudge, wink, wink* Say no more, say no more.
