Here is a message from the birthday boy(!) yesterday.
This is what his birth chart looks like, rectified to have Mercury on his Ascendant:
The Pluto/South Node conjunction in Cancer and the Moon/Neptune conjunction in Virgo presents us with a way of understanding the man. The Saturn opposition to the Moon/Neptune conjunction allows us to see that the role he has is so different to his true personality, but everything is connected, as part of a Grand Trine with the Sun and Jupiter.
Has he been successful as the Dalai Lama? He thinks he has played a small part in keeping the tradition of Tibetan Buddhism alive. Thank you for your service.
This film was yet another suggestion from Susan’s daughter. This one is on Netflix, even though it was a Paramount production. And, in my opinion, the only stable character in the whole show was the Bernese Mountain dog. As you might expect, their household is chaotic and messy, but the reality would be like that. Going from zero to three children (each with their own issues) was never going to be smooth.
The purpose of this (truly inspired) story is to highlight the serious issue of too many children in the foster care system (in the US). When you add to the mix how abortion is now on hold in that country, a larger catastrophe seems likely. Somebody has to step up to help these children, but the very nature of fostering makes this situation even worse. People go into the idea of adoption, usually for the wrong reasons. And the children feel pushed from pillar to post. All they really want is for their parent(s) to take care of them and love them, in spite of the struggles that inevitably occur.
As always a crisis draws the individuals closer together. In the end, the all choose to be a family.
This illustration of media bias is from 2022. Until the first debate between Biden and Trump, I would have said that the positions had mostly stayed the same, then something went strangely awry. Most people would put the blame on the Democrats panicking, but actually the real reason is what Biden promised to do when he’s re-elected to the Presidency:
Joe Biden Facebook post: April 15th
Ouch! It’s amazing how the rich will do everything in their power to keep their money, especially if the other side always lowers their taxes. Biden is suddenly their enemy, so they want to be rid of him.
It wasn’t too difficult to read the tea leaves about yesterday’s UK election result. The Conservatives had coasted for too long, trying to right the sinking ship that is the United Kingdom. Labour came roaring back with a vengeance. This should have happened earlier, but the voters didn’t like Starmer’s predecessor, Jeremy Corbyn.
Starmer’s birth time is unknown, so I rectified his birth chart to show Venus @ 45, when he married his wife. Is he really this ‘soft’, with Pisces Rising, Mars in Cancer, Moon in Libra, and Sun in Virgo? I think not. His natal Sun is exactly conjunct his natal Pluto, which gives him an edge of steel. Of the three inconjuncts, shown above, only two can be relied upon:
Mercury Inconjunct Jupiter
You like to think big, and you have great ambitions, but you don’t always make sure that your thinking is clear or careful. When you make any kind of plan, be careful. Don’t try to take on more than you can handle and make sure not to overlook details, for that could hurt what you are trying to do. Careful planning will help you develop disciplined habits in other areas as well. This aspect can mean that you are sloppy in your personal appearance and in your work habits.
Planets in Youth (page 161) by Robert Hand (1977)
Mars Inconjunct Saturn
This can be a difficult aspect because it signifies a conflict between your sense of responsibility and your desire to fulfill your own needs and do what you want. This leads to a struggle within you that may keep you from acting decisively. Instead of deciding what you will do, you feel caught between these two forces, wondering whether you have the right to do what you want. You may feel that others are trying to frustrate you, but it is only your own indecisiveness that is causing the trouble. Sometimes this conflict makes you very irritable and resentful about nothing in particular. Then, when someone happens to act in a way that is obviously annoying, you focus all your built-up anger on that person.

Isn’t it amazing how astrology lets us see behind the mask?
Yesterday’s Landslide Election Results
By itself, the chart for yesterday’s events cannot tell us about how, or even why, Labour won so overwhelmingly. There has been word that the turnout was the lowest since 1945. I suspect that is because the ‘party on the left is now the party on the right’ (as predicted by Pete Townsend in his Who song, Won’t Get Fooled Again). His actual words were:
And the parting on the left Is now the parting on the right And the beards have all grown longer overnight
I’ve just always heard them as the ‘party’, rather than ‘parting’. Maybe he had disguised what he was trying to say, at least in my opinion.
When you combine the noon chart for yesterday with Starmer’s birth chart, only one thing stands out.
Yes, the event Part of Fortune is (exactly) conjunct Starmer’s Sun/Pluto conjunction. His time had come.
In 1977, when the original cartoon/live action film came out, this was considered a kid’s show. Now, watching this updated version, the movie has taken on some very serious issues, including the environment, family losses and even the animating spirit of love between species.
Now, compare the 2016 one with the 1977 film:
The difference is night and day. No slapstick song and dance this time. But the harm to legendary creatures and their environment is very visible. In spite of it all, the story touches the heart strings.
It’s a mystery that has still not been completely shared with his adoring public. We don’t have an exact of the event, but setting the event clock to noon might give us a sneak peek behind the curtain.
From birth, Foxx has had a Yod pointing at Saturn, formed by inconjuncts to Venus and Jupiter. His Moon is in Taurus in the 12th House (of the Unconscious). The event chart, set for noon, sets this one planet in a possible revelatory position.
Mars is about 2° from a Cancer Ascendant. Was this an accidental overdose of some kind? There is an accidental inconjunct linking the Moon and Venus. I wonder…
Putting the two charts together shows Uranus transiting his natal Moon. Nothing else jumps out at me.
I usually don’t write about sports figures. After watching yesterday’s UEFA Euro Cup 2024 game between Portugal and Slovenia, I thought I might take a look at what makes Ronaldo tick.
There is some dispute as to exactly what time Ronaldo was born. I’m going to follow the alternative timing as this doesn’t imply a dawn birth. As a result there are three inconjuncts all linked with Pluto.
Venus Inconjunct Pluto
With this aspect you must learn a great deal about the kinds of friends you want and the kinds of experiences you will have through other people. Even while you are still young, you may meet persons who are quite difficult to get along with, but who seem to be impossible to get away from, even when you want to. You may be fascinated by such persons, or circumstances may force you to stay with them. These people do have a definite role to play in your life, but it may not always be a pleasant one. They will teach you something about life or about yourself.
Planets in Youth (page 206) by Robert Hand (1977)
Mars Inconjunct Pluto
You have a strong will and always want to have your own way. But very often it seems as if tremendous forces are working to prevent you from getting what you want. If you have this problem, it is because of the way you go about trying to achieve your ends. If you put too much force into your desire to get something, you may unknowingly alienate people because your aggressive manner shows that you will let nothing stop you from getting what you want. Even if that isn’t the way you really feel about it, you should recognize that your forcefulness creates this impression.
Ibid (page 239)
Pluto Inconjunct Ascendant
Your parents and teachers should be very straightforward with you, because if you feel that people are not being honest with you, you will not be honest with them. You are quite capable of acting behind peoples’ backs if you consider it necessary or if you feel that you never get your own way.
Another problem that can arise if you are not treated properly is that you may withdraw into yourself and become very secretive, as though you have something to hide even when you don’t/ This can make people distrust you.
Ibid (page 357)
After missing a penalty shot, yesterday, he burst into tears. I wanted to say to him, “It’s only a game.”
Fortunately(!) for him, he was able to lead Portugal to their shootout win, in the end.
Carrie-Anne Moss was Trinity in the Matrix series of films. No one could kick butt like her. Now she’s starring as Indara:
A Jedi Master proficient in “Force-fu” fighting, who is killed by Mae at the start of the series. Headland wanted the audience to immediately feel that Indara was “the most powerful Jedi in the room”. She was inspired by Moss’s portrayal of Trinity in The Matrix film series when creating the character and intended for audiences to see Indara as “Trinity with a lightsaber”. Headland felt the character’s death set the tone for the series, established that Jedi can be killed, and indicated that audience assumptions about who is good and bad could be wrong. Moss bonded with Stenberg on set over their shared spiritual background.
Wikipedia
Well, wouldn’t you know it: no one knows her correct time of day for her birth, but some clues exist:
Date and place of birth from Wikipedia. Moss’ IMDb bio has the time 4:05pm; no source given .
An article in Esquire of 29 January 2007 states, “She was born early in the morning on an August day in the summer of love in Vancouver, British Columbia”, as Montanee Tantisook pointed out by email in January 2022.
birth announcement:
Sy Scholfield quotes name, date and place from birth notice, no time given, The Vancouver Sun (British Columbia), 22 August 1967: born at Grace Hospital to Bob Waterfield and Barbara (nee Sadgrove), a sister for Brooke. (Her mother must have later married Melvyn Moss).
My baby girl, Rosanna, was born at that same hospital, so in truth, Moss was born in Vancouver, itself.
So, I have followed the one dissenting voice in the astrology world and set Ms. Moss’ birth time to 5:05 am (bearing in mind that it could have actually been 4:05 am, instead).
There are two inconjuncts, but only one can be relied upon because it’s not time-dependent.
Venus Inconjunct Saturn
You may feel that you cannot indulge yourself in any pleasure or even love. When you are older, you may feel that duty and ambition must come before love and human relationships. Unfortunately, if you follow that path, you will become very lonely, and when you realize that you belong to no one and nothing, you will go through a spiritual crisis.
Planets in Youth (page 198) by Robert Hand (1977)
Moss seems to inhabit those roles perfectly, probably because of this one aspect: duty before love.
I’ve seen two episodes so far, and I’ve read somewhere that Indara returns in a flash-back in episode three. I’m looking forward to that. I wonder what Trinity would make of Indara.
