  • Charlie Dalin – a legendary endurance test

    Away from tawdry politics, meltdown neurosis about the state of the world and flim flam celebrities, there is the inspiring and remarkable tale of Charlie Dalin, a French offshore sailor. Having been diagnosed with gastrointestinal cancer, he decided against the odds to compete in and won the Vendée Globe yacht race around the world last year. He took 64 days plus a few hours, beating the previous record by 9 days while taking immunotherapy pills.It is the world’s toughest solo, non
  • Trump’s trusty wingmen – unravelling by 2028

      The two Trump henchmen, son-in-law Jared Kushner and son Donald Jnr, will be a better guide ahead since neither is likely to be tossed aside as other high-level appointees might be when/if they fall out of favour.   Donald Jnr, 31 December 1977, starts a long trail of transiting Neptune undermining his Venus in Capricorn from this June onwards and moving on to square his Sun in 2029/30. None of which looks successful or confident. His Solar Arc Uranus will conjunct his Venus for
  • Astrological prediction – optimism v pessimism

      Bias in astrological prediction is all-too-common and to a degree understandable but a hazard to keep in mind and avoid where possible. Since astrology points to a spectrum of possible and potential developments, there can never be absolute certainty about a definite outcome. There will be a range of likelihoods though the ‘mood music’ of the times can usually be described with a degree of accuracy.  ‘Difficult’ aspects often occur side by side with &lsqu

  • Iran on the brink – will people power win?

    Iran is in turmoil with widespread demonstrations which have happened before and been crushed with gunfire, arrests, imprisonment and torture but this time there is a sense that “it is different”. The 49 year repressive, theocratic dictatorship of the ‘beards’ under the present Ayatollah Khamenei may be crumbling and their collapse, analysts say, would be as consequential as the fall of the Berlin Wall.   Support is rallying round Reza Pahlavi, the exiled son of

    Australia’s 2026 opened with catastrophic bushfires in Victoria and a climb down from PM Anthony Albanese in agreeing to a royal commission into last month’s shooting at Bondi Beach which targeted a Jewish festival and left 15 people dead. He had previously argued that reforms on gun ownership and hate speech, steps to tackle antisemitism and a review into intelligence and law enforcement agencies offered the quickest response.

    The outrage over the Minneapolis shooting of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, a prize-winning poet and a hobby guitarist, by an immigration agent is likely to fester. Conflicting versions of the actualite have the Trump camp labelling her a domestic terrorist while city leaders claim she was there as a legal observer and onlookers say she was trying to get out of the way.It occurred on 7 January at 9.30am in Minneapolis with the overly excitable, exact Sun, Venus, Mars conjuncti

He said financial troubles were partly what led him to spy as well as his acquired knack of compartmentalising his thinking after being in the spy and counterspy business for 31 years, usually as a State Department official while working undercover as a CIA ope

    David Bowie has been graced with a documentary about his final years a decade after his death in January 2016 from liver cancer. Regarded as one of the most influential musicians ever, he constantly reinvented himself, being dubbed the “chameleon of rock”.

    With a midheaven on his Gemini Sun Trump gave the order to extract Maduro at 10.46pm on January 2nd. When the mission landed at 2.01 am the midheaven was conjunct his secretive, duplicitous and double-dealing 12th house Pluto. The swampy and ill-starred Neptune Saturn Scheat in late Pisces was prominent in both; and Uranus conjunct the destructive Fixed star Algol was also in play.  His intention is to take over the country’s oil production for America’s benefit and to control t

  • Epstein, the end – another smokescreen

    In death as in life and the aftermath Jeffrey Epstein has/had an intriguing way of casting a sinister and lingering smokescreen over events. His misdeeds earned him a brief holiday-camp prison sentence. His legacy has left a swirling cloud of suspicion but as yet only the hapless (and unpleasant) Ghislaine has been nailed. And his death in odd circumstances has led to myriad conspiracy theories – was it suicide or murder or is he not dead at all? I am allergic to conspiracy theories,

    China having pushed the Trump-tariff offensive to one side without blinking, is surrounding Taiwan in a simulation blockade and talking up China’s future role in global governance. Xi’s third five-year term of office expires in 2027 and he has given no hint that he has any intention to step down. The policy ahead seems to be relying on its export-led growth model in steel making and toy manufacturing and also future technologies, such as robotics and artificial intelligence.But
