• Josh Brolin – Mars Pluto and the will to survive

    A Mars Pluto family legacy could have cut actor Josh Brolin’s life short as he started on drugs aged nine and was an alcoholic over the next four decades. He emerged with distinction in the Coen Brothers’ No Country for Old Men (2007) and was nominated for Best Supporting Actor in the biopic Milk (2008). More recently he has gained recognition for playing Thanos, the destroyer of worlds, in Marvel’s Avengers franchise and in Dune.  His destructive childhood was down t
  • Alexi Navalny – driven by a vision

    Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny was killed two years ago in a Siberian penal colony using a poison developed from a dart frog toxin, UK and European allies have said. There is no innocent explanation for the toxin, called epibatidine, being found in samples taken from Navalny’s body, the UK Foreign Office said.  He was Putin’s most prominent political opponent convicted this final time on what are described as trumped up charges. For many years he was a lawyer and an an

  • Cuba – the bell is tolling

      Cuba, already on its knees after decades of communist rule, is facing collapse as Trump has cut off vital Venezuelan oil supplies and strong-armed the Mexican government to do likewise.  According to reports, people are starving, many living in extreme poverty without even one meal a day. Daily power cuts commonly last 20 hours a day, with disastrous results for sanitation and medical care. Rubbish is strewn on the streets. There is no petrol for cars and no aviation fuel for planes.
  • Scotland – Neptune in Pisces dream subsides

    Another Neptune in Pisces dream dies as former SNP chief executive Peter Murrell and husband of Nicola Sturgeon faces a charge of embezzling £459,000 from the party over 12 years. He is accused of illicitly purchasing items including luxury goods, jewellery, cosmetics, two cars and a motorhome. He made no plea during an initial appearance at Edinburgh Sheriff Court last year after which he was granted bail.  The initial push for a Scottish independence referendum was made in 2012 as N
  • Galileo – condemned for being right

    Galileo Galilei, the Italian astronomer known as the “father of modern science”, stood trial for the second time on 13 February 1633 for the heresy of proclaiming that the Earth revolves around the Sun. He had revolutionized astronomy using an improved telescope to discover Jupiter’s moons, Venus’s phases, and lunar craters but his support for heliocentrism led to life imprisonment by the Catholic Church.   His birth date varies by a day but on 16 February 1564
  • Wuthering Heights – dark and destructive

    Wuthering Heights, Emily Bronte’s classic novel has been given a ‘hyper-sexualised’ makeover in a new Jacob Elordi/Margot Robbie film. The provocative scenes in question are erotic, with much moaning and writhing though they are not explicit. One reviewer pointed out the passionate Heathcliff Cathy love affair had been interpreted in different ways at different times, which say more about the era in which they were produced — its expectations, prejudices, and neuroses &md

  • See saw charts – two halves trying to be whole

    See saw charts are evidently one of the rarer configurations, indicating complex, not always stable temperaments who are constantly dancing between opposing sides of themselves, trying to find a balance and a way of integrating their inner incompatibility. They are constantly pulled between alternatives and two distinct, often competing sides of their personality. Sometimes they seek out a partner to carry the ‘other half’ of themselves, making them overly dependent with their relati

  • Rudolf Steiner – a complicated legacy

    Rudolf Steiner, founder of an esoteric spiritual movement, a philosopher, social reformer and educationalist, has attracted devoted followers as well as critics for his racist, antisemitic and pseudo-scientific beliefs (according to mainstream academics). His Waldorf inspired schools opened in Stuttgart in 1919 and have spread across Europe and the USA. Recently there have been scandals involving sexual abuse, a “toxic” culture of bullying. Concerns have also been raised about far-ri
  • US ship of state – on stormy seas

    When behind-the-scenes political aides become the focus of media attention it usually spells trouble ahead. They fall on their swords or are pushed; and then spill the beans.  The UK is following a well-trodden path with Morgan McSweeney exiting stage left carrying the can for Starmer. In the US, Trump-inspirer Stephen Miller has recently found himself thrust into the national spotlight with the ICE killings and is widely seen as the architect of the mass deportation policy which is me

The tension comes from the tug-of-war between past securities and the urge to leap ahead across the brink
