Something tells me that this latest ‘flip-flop’ may have been his intention all along. And yet, the bond market is what made him act. The stock market can always recover. And the amount of tariff revenue from all those imports for the 12 or so hours from when they went into effect yesterday (at midnight) would have been enough to fuel tax cuts for his rich friends. The tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports have not changed, and China’s now at 125%. But instead of the fraudulent rates announced on Liberation day, the tariff rate for the world is 10%, which was his intention, too. (You see, if you put the rates outrageously high, people will accept a lower, ‘paltry’ rate of 10% as reasonable.)
US Stocks were seesawing between gains and losses on Wednesday morning when Donald Trump chimed in with some financial advice. At 9:37 am (US time), he posted on Truth Social: “THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!! DJT.”
Just under four hours later, Trump announced a 90-day pause on nearly all tariffs—news that sent markets soaring. By the close of trading, the S&P 500 had jumped 9.5%, recouping around $4 trillion in market value—roughly 70% of what had been lost over the prior four trading days.

Most would suggest that this amounts to insider trading, a con, if there ever was one.
The original show was delayed by a week due to the power outage that caused all schools in Simcoe County to remain closed, until this week.
It was a great showcase for the students’ talents. The music (especially the brass section) could overpower the vocals at times, but overall the song choices and performances were excellent.
Here is the ensemble group in a photo taken by the Midland Today newspaper:
They must have worked their butts off preparing for the show. (Susan said that they had started working on it a year ago.)
There is no definitive listing of the songs they performed, so if some of them were obscure it’s probably because they tried to encompass all genres. Two songs stood out: “Harvest Moon” by Neil Young and “Safety Dance” by Men Without Hats.
.
The title of the show refers to a song that they ended the night with: “Home for a Rest” by Spirit of the West:
Do you get the cross-Canada flavour of the night? It was advertised as a two hour show. It was a three hour concert in the end. A fine time was had by all.

As an antidote to yesterday’s post, here’s a sweet little film about a young woman who needs to get her life figured out, in the year after her mother dies. For some this will require a box of tissues, but not me.
The final item on her list was to find true love. That’s a tough one, for anyone at any age. Here’s some advice:
The reason I’m highlighting this sequence is the fact that the screen playwright mixed them up when Alex recites them near the end of the film. Didn’t they know that someone would have taken note?
Here’s a partial list of The Life List:
It’s something everyone should do: remind yourself what your goals were when you were young.
We binge-watched this four episode limited series on Netflix over the weekend. What a ride!
If you’ve watched all of Netflix’s limited series Adolescence, take a deep breath. The moving but agonizing tale about a young boy named Jamie (Owen Cooper) who is accused of murdering his female classmate is a harrowing watch, as the four episodes chronicle his arrest, a psych evaluation, and the effects on his classmates and family. Each episode of the U.K.-set drama is shot in a single take, embedding the audience into the action—and the emotions—alongside the police, the Miller family, and Jamie himself.
The standout third episode of the must-watch series is a two-hander between Jamie and his court-ordered psychologist (Erin Doherty), and their conversation is both biting and nurturing at the same time. During their one-on-one, Jamie reveals that the victim had cyberbullied him by referring to him as an incel, and then accidentally admits to the crime—a sentence he tries to take back immediately.
I’ve written about incel, previously. The D.I.’s son suggests to him that 80% of women like only 20% of men, implying that 80% of men are involuntary celibate. That’s a problem, isn’t it? When male hormones are seeking release, violent things happen to women. That has to stop.
“Lies, damn lies and statistics.” Never a truer word has been spoken, especially with the example of the US tariff calculations. But don’t take my word for it, watch this CBC News program “About That”:
See what I mean?
What a load of crock! So, I decided to look at the exact (published) moment that this fraud was perpetuated on the world. Here’s the chart:
A-ha! The Yod pointing at the 1° Vigo Ascendant was formed by inconjuncts to Neptune and Pluto. It’s been a while since Neptune and Pluto were sextile to each other, but we are essentially back in time to an aspect that was in effect for most of the 20th century.
Because I did the birth chart of Peter Navarro, the ‘author’ of these tariffs, yesterday, I wondered if his ‘fingerprints’ would be all over the Liberation Day chart. I should have guessed that they would be.
There’s no doubt who’s at fault for this fraud. He should be arrested and charged with a felony.
Well, I’ll be damned! Rachel Maddow has let the not-so-secret cat out of the bag. The authority that Peter Navarro has been quoting in his books is none other than an anagram of his own last name.
This is the basis of a fraud that has been perpetuated on the American people, and, by reflection, on the whole world. What the hell?!
I randomized Navarro’s birth chart, and, very appropriately, Neptune is conjunct the chart’s Ascendant in Libra. Normally, that tells me that someone is an actor or actress, but, in this instance, refers to an out-and-out fraudster. There is but one inconjunct, so let’s look at the hidden motivation of this individual:
Mars Inconjunct Jupiter
It is important for you to realize that you are not unlucky. Accidents or mishaps result from going too far too fast rather than from bad luck. If you slow down and learn new skills carefully and slowly, you will do as well as anyone else, perhaps better. However, this may be difficult for you, because you are somewhat impulsive and quite restless. You find it almost impossible to sit still for very long. You are always eager for change and new experiences, even when you are not ready for them yet. The only way to get over this is through self-discipline.
Planets in Youth (page 228) by Robert Hand (1977)
Yes, that rings true. You couldn’t find a proper source to quote, so you just made one up, out of your own name. God help us all!
As a landmark event, there can be no other one that is as important, both to the white settlers in Jamestown, Virginia and the Native America peoples who lived nearby. As we do not have Pocahontas’ birth date, this event is the start of the Europeans’ conquering of North America.
During her stay at Henricus, Pocahontas met John Rolfe. Rolfe’s English-born wife Sarah Hacker and child Bermuda had died on the way to Virginia after the wreck of the ship Sea Venture on the Summer Isles, now known as Bermuda. He established the Virginia plantation Varina Farms, where he cultivated a new strain of tobacco. Rolfe was a pious man and agonized over the potential moral repercussions of marrying a heathen, though in fact Pocahontas had accepted the Christian faith and taken the baptismal name Rebecca. In a long letter to the governor requesting permission to wed her, he expressed his love for Pocahontas and his belief that he would be saving her soul. He wrote that he was:
motivated not by the unbridled desire of carnal affection, but for the good of this plantation, for the honor of our country, for the Glory of God, for my own salvation… namely Pocahontas, to whom my hearty and best thoughts are, and have been a long time so entangled, and enthralled in so intricate a labyrinth that I was even a-wearied to unwind myself thereout.
The couple were married on April 5, 1614, by chaplain Richard Buck, probably at Jamestown. For two years they lived at Varina Farms, across the James River from Henricus. Their son, Thomas, was born in January 1615.
The marriage created a climate of peace between the Jamestown colonists and Powhatan’s tribes; it endured for eight years as the “Peace of Pocahontas”. In 1615, Ralph Hamor wrote, “Since the wedding we have had friendly commerce and trade not only with Powhatan but also with his subjects round about us.” The marriage was controversial in the British court at the time because “a commoner” had “the audacity” to marry a “princess”

I’ve set the clock for noon. Significantly, there are three inconjuncts, only two of which would be consistent for the whole day. Let’s look at them:
Sun Inconjunct Neptune
You are very sensitive to your environment and to the people around you. On one level of your being, you feel what is going on very acutely. Unfortunately your understanding often comes in terms that are very difficult to communicate to others, because their meaning is not clear in your own mind. Your greatest danger is in being exposed to negative people who are full of anger or depression or who act very harshly toward you and undermine your self-confidence. Your self-confidence has to be boosted at every conceivable opportunity, and it would be very destructive for you to be criticized sharply, unless the person has made it very clear that he or she loves you.
Planets in Youth (page 92) by Robert Hand (1977)
Mars Inconjunct Jupiter
With this aspect you probably are quite active, with abundant energy for anything you want to do. But you must learn to control your energies rather than have them control you. You may be inclined to take excessive risks, to try out things that you are not sure you can do. But be careful, because with this aspect the energies of Mars and Jupiter do not work very smoothly together. If you overextend yourself and try to do more than you are physically capable of, you may have an accident. Also you may be clumsy when you take up a new activity until you learn to control your physical body better.
Ibid (page 228)
Neptune Inconjunct Midheaven (perhaps)
You are very impressionable, in that you pick up the energies around you very quickly. Therefore it is very important that you be surrounded by wholesome influences in your early years, because negative influences will weaken your self-esteem and make it much more difficult to accomplish anything when you are older. On the other hand, your impressionableness may give rise to some psychic ability, or at least a very sharp intuition when you ae older.
Ibid (page 342)
After traveling to England, Pocahontas died before they could return to Virginia.
In March 1617, Rolfe and Pocahontas boarded a ship to return to Virginia, but they had sailed only as far as Gravesend on the River Thames when Pocahontas became gravely ill. She was taken ashore, where she died from unknown causes, aged approximately 21 and “much lamented”. According to Rolfe, she declared that “all must die”; for her, it was enough that her child lived. Speculated causes of her death include pneumonia, smallpox, tuberculosis, hemorrhagic dysentery (“the Bloody flux”) and poisoning.
Wikipedia
Her death may have been a clue that European diseases could somehow decimate the Native population, too.
Imagine if you will, trying to go to sleep while a thunderstorm rages outside in the dark of night: then one thunderbolt comes close enough to turn on your overhead bedroom light. Well, that’s a surprise!
In the Season 2, Episode 6 of “1923” one of the characters mentioned Edgar Rice Burroughs by name as someone he could tell of Elizabeth’s heroic adventure to reconnect with her husband Spencer at Yellowstone. It would be, he said, a love story: along the lines of Tarzan and Jane, I would imagine.
The timing of this birth chart is considered excellent by some astrology sites. My computer program suggested that it is conflicting/unreliable. There are two inconjuncts, one reliant on a correct time, the other not.
Moon Inconjunct Neptune (perhaps)
People with this aspect often hide their real feelings and make sacrifices for others that they do not really want to make. Then they resent the person who asked for the sacrifice. You must learn to tell people how you really feel; if you do not, you have only yourself to blame for what happens. You must learn to accept that you are responsible for your own life. Do not act as if you are the victim of strong forces that you can’t control, because you can control them.
Planets in Youth (page 134) by Robert Hand (1977)
Mercury Inconjunct Saturn (for sure)
This aspect can have several different meanings. First of all, you may have hidden fears that are difficult to express, but they cause you to do things that others can’t understand. These may include fear of the dark or of certain places or people. Or this aspect can mean that you often feel depressed and sad for no apparent reason. You tend to see the serious side of life, and it weighs on you more than on most people.
Ibid (page 164)
Are these aspects the reason he turned to writing about adventures in faraway places? I wonder.
Because I had already aligned David Cameron with George IV, it should come as no surprise that an intervening life as Edgar Rice Burroughs is quite possible, if only probable. The comparison of Burroughs’ birth and death charts with Cameron’s birth chart, does point to a link involving Burroughs’ South Node(s).
If you have an eye for astrology, the other links are there, but slightly more obscure.
Images come in dreams. Mostly they have to do with other people or situations. Seldom do they involve numbers. This dream happened the night before the day that an ice storm hit, which eventually knocked down trees and knocked out the electricity.
When the electricity finally failed, the time was 7:40 pm on March 29th. It took almost 2 days for the electricity to be restored on March 31st. Here’s a video of the damage in Barrie.
When I thought back on the dream numbers, I wondered if I was being told ahead of time that it would be darkness for 2 days, 2 hours, 2 minutes and 4 seconds. So I was optimistic that the power would be out for us personally for just over two days. It wasn’t until I looked for an image to include with this post that I realized that those numbers were an angel message.
By 5 pm on March 30th, Tracy and Roger came down from Alban and brought their generator, so that we could run our fridges and freezers, heaters and cook with an electric frying pan. Fortunately, our water and (gas-powered) hot water were intact, throughout the blackout. The generator was even able to help our next door neighbours run their fridge and sump pump. We can’t thank Tracy and Roger enough.
Our neighbours across the street had a load of branches fall off their tree. We had one branch of our next door neighbour’s silver birch fall into our yard. Basically we were spared any permanent damage.
The angel numbers were right:
Rest assured that all your troubles will disappear soon. They did.
