Churchill's bloodthirsty Lusitania LIE!!

With Pluto (0CP33) peripartile conjunct Mercury(0CP25) in 0 degrees of Capricorn in the lunation chart of 12th Dec 08, dirty little secrets are bound to emerge. The probing beneath the surface (Pluto) of knowledge (Mercury) inevitably reveals hidden information (Pluto cj Mercury) of a political nature (Capricorn).

In the last week or so, the salvage team diving on the wreck of the Lusitania off the coast of Ireland has demonstrably proven what the Germans have claimed all along ... the ship was carrying arms from New York to Liverpool, specifically FOUR MILLION rounds of .303 ammo. As such it was a legitimate military target. The Lusitania sank in 1915, within minutes of a U-Boat torpedo strike, killing 1200 victims, a hundred children included.

The anti-German spluttering on both sides of the Atlantic exploded as people loudly condemned this slaughter of innocents. As a direct result of this civilian massacre, the USA entered the war in 1917 and tens of thousands of Americans swarmed to enlist. Germany lost the war.

As it turns out, Churchill (then first Lord of the Admiralty) was aware of the Lusitania's provocative cargo and was in fact hoping for just such an incident to bring America into the war.

Now, thanks to the Pluto-Mercury contact, with Mercury way out of bounds in an extreme southern declination (-25:27), those who bear true responsibility for this outrage are coming to light for the first time in nearly a century.

Let's start with Churchill for setting up the sting. Then there are the functionaries of the US military industrial complex (Remington has been mentioned) who cynically participated in Churchill's scam by shipping arms on a civilian liner. I daresay more of these greedy bloodthirsty pigs will come to light before the salvage is over.

Note from the astromap below, how the Pluto-Mercury conjunction is tightly angular across Dublin, the political capital of Ireland, where the salvage is taking place.

2012 Series - Part 1 - How it works ...

This series of posts (of which this is the first) deals with important celestial configurations shaping up in the skies over the next 8 years. These patterns have been associated in certain circles with apocalyptic scenarios relating to the end of the Mayan long count around the December solstice in 2012 ... along with all the other WW III end-of-the-world nightmare scenarios that people have been expecting since 1988.

By the way, 1988 was fingered thanks to Alsacian prophet Alois Irlmaier whose prophecies mention a date with "two 8's and a 9". Since this ambiguous piece of crap can mean anything from 1988 to any day in August 1998 to 8th August 2009, cult heroes and their zombies have been periodically holding onto their hats waiting for nukes to start flying.

21st century astrologers have an advantage over idiot gurus and their zombie acolytes because we have access to high precision astronomical ephemerides, Pentium processors, and all of recorded history delivered to the desktop via broadband. This is how it works ... Step 1: look at what is coming up in the sky; Step 2: search back in time to find the same or similar configurations; Step 3: research history for what happened on the previous occasions these same celestial patterns shaped up in the heavens; Step 4: based on this, draw appropriate and sensible conclusions about what might be coming up in the future.

The world is already experiencing some 2012 configs. The 8 year series kicked off in January 2008 with Pluto's ingress into Capricorn, followed by the Uranus-Saturn opposition which came into 1 degree orb round about the same time the markets crashed. Funny that.

This is not the forum to discuss the future of the markets and the SA economy as this information has been bought and paid for by my corporate subscribers. But it makes for very interesting reading, I can assure you.

I will be featuring all the other significant 2012 transits. So, if you're worried about what might be happening to the world, keep checking the blog.

UPDATE: Uranus sq Mars strikes KZN

Accident 11 Dec 08:

At least 40 people were injured on Thursday when an SA Roadlink bus crashed on the N3 freeway in the KwaZulu-Natal midlands, paramedics said. Paramedics said the bus collided with another private bus, while police said the bus in question had hit three vehicles. Police spokesperson Inspector Joey Jeevan said the SA Roadlink bus collided with three vehicles in Lions River in the midlands. "We don't know the extent of the accident or if there were any injuries or fatalities. Our police officers are on their way to the scene," she said. ER24 spokesperson Derrick Banks said both buses were fully laden and that the Roadlink bus was a double-decker. "Over 40 people have been injured, but at this time we don't have an exact figure. The driver of the SA Roadlink bus was trapped and he is being extricated." Netcare 911 spokesperson Chris Botha said paramedics were presently heading to the scene. "All we know right now is that there are a lot of patients with injuries... we don't know how
many." No fatalities have been reported thus far. Nonkululeko Mbatha, spokesperson for the provincial transport department, was not immediately available for comment. Health department spokesprson Chris Maxon was also not available for comment.

Conflict & Accident

11 - 13 December 2008 (next few days) are dominated by the mutable Uranus-Mars square. This is a quarrelsome, accident-prone kind of vibe. Expect religious conflicts, spectacular car accidents due to high speed and negligence, leg injuries.

Hotspots (inter alia) are Cape Town, Gauteng, Durban, Katanga (DRC), Toledo, Stockholm, Budapest, Sarajevo, Denver, New York, Adelaide (Australia), Dunedin (NZ).

People with active planets in 18,19 degrees of mutable signs will be affected. For starters, the following birthdays puts the Sun in 18-19 degrees mutable: 8-10 May, 10-12 Sept, 10-11 Dec, 8-10 March.

Other birth dates that might run into trouble in the next few days are:

• Oct 22 1965 - Mar 3 1966
• Aug 7 1966 - Oct 25 1966
• Feb 20 1967 - Aug 29 1967
• Aug 8 1972 - Nov 29 1972
• Apr 24 1973 - May 13 1973
• Feb 7 1978 - May 1 1978
• Dec 3 1978 - Dec 5 1979 ... a big group!

That's enough for now. There are some birth dates for kids born 1995 and 2002 - 2003 which could be tricky but I need to sleep now.

Tension between the signs Sagittarius (Mars) and Pisces (Uranus) usually points to conflicts over matters of philosophy and belief, mainly in the religious domain. However, strongly held political dogmas sometimes also fall into the category of "blind faith". In this context, the next few days could bring heightened political tensions in the hotspots mentioned.

If your birthday falls into one of the above mentioned periods don't assume anything will necessarily happen - a whole lot of factors need to line up before the potential collapses into reality. Just take it easy and be careful - especially if you're driving in one of the hotspots listed. The only way to be sure about these things is for me to pore over your chart.

Mugabe - will he last beyond first week Feb 2009?

Enough of the explosions & fires.

Let us turn our attention to the solstice chart for December 2008. Unlike the rest of astrologers in the world, I maintain and always will that the solstice represents the midpoint of the period over which the ingress chart has jurisdiction. The Capricorn ingress therefore rules the 6 odd weeks prior to the solstice and the 6 weeks after - ie. from around 7th November to 3rd or 4th February. (Traditionally, the Capricorn ingress chart would rule the period between the December solstice and March equinox, ie. from 21 Dec to 20 March.)

The Capricorn ingress for 2008 has a very interesting feature: a Pluto-Sun conjunction ... not unexpected since slow moving Pluto entered the sign of Capricorn scant weeks ago.

The Sun in a mundane chart represents the ruling political authority, cabinet ministers, and the president in particular. When the Sun conjoins Pluto, the planet of power and transformation, in a sensitive degree (solstice point) which is 90 degrees to the vernal point fiducial (0 Aries), in the sign of Capricorn - the zodiacal segment with jurisdiction over government and political authority - THEN we are looking at some pretty powerful political forces at work. The phrase "regime change" comes to mind.

Pluto's modus operandi takes many forms. Leaders can drop dead. Or they can be deposed. Or they can resign. Or they can be voted out. Whatever the case, the old one departs and a new one takes his place.

The question is, where in the world will these regime changes take place? A more appropriate question is: where in the world will incumbent leaders and administrations experience enormous pressures from the currents of destiny that prompt them to get the hell out?

The Pluto-Sun complex in the solstice chart will make itself felt in locations where it interacts with an angle. ESPECIALLY those locations where Pluto-Sun is aspecting both axes. Astromapping makes it a simple matter to identify affected countries: Canada, Ukraine and ... not surprisingly, Zimbabwe.

Canada is a vast landmass and has three different locations which meet the criterion of interaction between the Pluto-Sun conjunction and both axes simultaneously. However, none of these locations fall anywhere near major political centres such as Ottowa. Still, it is interesting to note that the conservative Canadian prime minister Stephen Harper avoided losing a no-confidence vote by suspending parliament until 27 January. The liberal-progressive forces are howling in indignation. Can he keep his minority government intact, come the new year? Time will tell. But these moves to get rid of him and his administration are typical of an active Pluto-Sun conjunction. It is quite possible that a no-confidence motion will be tabled and passed before the expiry of the Capricorn ingress jurisdiction in first week Feb.

The other case in the news at the moment is President Yushchenko in Kiev. As of today, the Ukranians have put together a new coalition government after a deadlock of some months. The emergence of the new government is also typical of the kind of political transformations wrought by the Pluto-Sun conjunction. One wonders whether the coalition will survive the balance of the ingress jurisdiction, given that powerful "regime change" forces remain operational in the region.

The most glaring activity of the Pluto-Sun complex appears in the ingress chart erected for Harare, Zimbabwe. Click images below to enlarge chart and astromap. The Pluto-Moon contact trines the Asc, inconjuncts IC. This is a text book case of a country ripe for regime change. Indeed, you will note that the cholera crisis entered the international headspace in the 2nd week of November, precisely when the Capricorn ingress chart kicked off its jurisdiction. It is this same cholera outbreak which is fomenting unprecedented challenges to the Mugabe regime. In the Harare chart, note how the Pluto-Sun complex is hugging the 9th house cusp - inter alia significating churches and legal environments. In this context, we observe that some of Mugabe's most strident critics of late have been church leaders. There are also moves afoot to have Mugabe indicted by the ICC in the Hague.

If ever there was a time to unseat Mugabe this is it. Once the Aries 2009 ingress assumes jurisdiction around first week in Feb 2009, the regime change momentum tails off and Mugabe regains his foothold. Any intervention to turf out Mugabe, whether foreign or internal, will be harmonising with natural cycles and should enjoy a high level of success. This is a window of opportunity during which Mugabe has never been weaker or more compromised.

Explosion in San Diego, Monday 8th, caused by fighter jet crash.

A fighter jet returning to a Marine base after a training exercise crashed in flames in a San Diego neighborhood Monday, killing three people on the ground, leaving one missing and destroying two homes.

The pilot of the F/A-18D Hornet jet ejected safely just before the crash around noon at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar. Explosions rocked a neighborhood of half-million-dollar homes, sending flames and plumes of smoke skyward.

"The house shook; the ground shook. It was like I was frozen in my place," said Steve Krasner, who lives a few blocks from the crash. "It was bigger than any earthquake I ever felt."

Three people were killed in a house where two children, a mother and a grandmother were believed to be at the time of the crash, but fire officials did not immediately know who died. Another person remained missing, and officials said the search was suspended until Tuesday morning.

Huge fire in Mount Hua National Park, Shaanxi, China - apparently flared up 1:30pm Monday 8th, still burning 20 hours later.

A mountain forest in northwest China's Shaanxi Province has been ablaze for nearly 20 hours and at least 100 forestry workers are still working all-out Tuesday to extinguish the fire. The fire started in the weeds and bushes near the Huangfu Valley in the renowned Mount Hua at 1:30 p.m. Monday, said a clerk with the mountain's management committee. She said the committee and the local government sent a fire fighting team to the site shortly after smokes and flames were detected. "But it was impossible to put out the fire right away because the place was extremely steep," the clerk said on condition of anonymity. A second team was sent to the fire site at 5 a.m. Tuesday, she said. "Until now, I can still see thick smokes through the windows of my office." She said no casualties had been reported so far and the cause of the fire was being investigated. Mount Hua, in the Qinling Mountain Range, is about 100 kilometers east of Xi'an, the provincial capital. It is one of China's five renowned Taoist mountains and has several influential Taoist temples.

Pluto90MC in sunrise chart. Interestingly, the orb of this aspect in sunrise for 8th is 1:35. The orb on 7th is 0:19. Therefore, we conclude the fire started in the period of jurisdiction held by the sunrise chart on the 7th ... ie. before sunset on the 7th. So reports of the fire starting 1:30pm on 8th may be inaccurate.

Mountain fire, Gordons Bay, Cape Town, Dec 8th.

A raging mountain fire in Gordon's Bay on Monday has resulted in dozens of people being evacuated, fire officials and police said.

"The fire jumped across a dam on the Cape Town side and has now gone down the mountain," said Reinard Geldenhuis of Cape Nature Conservation Fire management.

An inspector at the Steenbrass Forest station said it was suspected that the fire was started on a farm and spread quickly due to "strong wind conditions".

He said no fatalities had been reported but that firefighters had been battling to contain the flames.

Said Geldenhuis: "We are still fighting the fire on our side and trying to prevent it from going towards the residential area."

Fire guts Russian naval ship in Baltic port, Dec 8th.

One naval officer died in a fire on Russia's Baltic Fleet frigate the Neukrotimy (Indomitable) on Monday, a senior Navy official said. "The body of an officer was discovered during a thorough search of the ship," Captain 1st Rank Igor Dygalo, an aide to the Russian Navy commander, said. Earlier reports said no one had been hurt in the fire that broke out early on Monday on the frigate anchored at Baltiisk, the Baltic Fleet's main base. A regional emergencies official said the fire was put out at 14:00 Moscow time (11:00 a.m. GMT). He said five firefighting teams, including a special firefighting boat, had been involved in extinguishing the fire. The Baltic Fleet press service said only insignificant damage had been caused to the vessel, while the cause of the fire had yet to be established by a special investigations commission. Dygalo said the frigate, at the end of its operational life span, was due to be taken out of service, adding there had been no weapons on board the ship when the fire started.

Seven dead in methane explosion in Vietnam mine, Monday Dec 8th.

A blast Monday at a coal mine in northern Vietnam killed at least seven workers and injured 15, a company executive said. Rescue workers pulled their bodies from a 750-foot-deep 230-meter-deep) tunnel in Quang Ninh province and were still searching for another victim following the methane explosion early Monday morning, said Nguyen Van Thuan of the Khe Cham Coal company. Fifteen miners were being treated for burns, while 103 others escaped unhurt, he said. Authorities believe the miners died from severe burns. Investigators were trying to determine what started the blast, Thuan said. Quang Ninh, about 120 miles (190 kilometers) east of capital Hanoi, is Vietnam's main coal mining region.

Peshawar again - 62 NATO trucks go up in smoke on Dec 7th.

Pakistani police say suspected militants have killed a policeman and torched 62 trucks at a terminal used to supply Nato and US troops in Afghanistan. Police official Kashif Alam says about 30 assailants attacked the terminal near the northwestern city of Peshawar with rockets and guns early on Sunday. Alam says fire engulfed 62 trucks and containers likely carrying supplies to foreign forces in Afghanistan.

Bomb blast in Peshawar Pakistan Dec 5th 2008:

At least 20 persons have been killed and over 80 others injured in a high intensity explosion in Koocha Risaldar located behind Qisa Khawani Bazar in Peshawar on Friday. Police sources confirmed the above casualties which resulted after a powerful blast in a narrow and congested ally where a market is situated. The injured including women and children are being shifted to different hospitals of the city including Lady Reading Hospital where emergency has been declared. Power went off in the area after the explosion, plunging the area into darkness. Ambulances and rescue teams headed towards the blast site - a congested area which has been cordoned off by the police. Windowpanes of the nearby buildings were shattered by the blast which also damaged many shops and vehicles. The blast also triggered fire which is being extinguished by the fire fighters. IG NWFP, Malik Naveed Khan talking to Geo News said about 20 to 25 kilograms of explosives were used in the blast which was planted in a vehicle. He said the explosion has left a crater on the ground which indicates the blast was not a suicide attack.

Just in from Kamiros, Rhodes ...

Firefighters struggled in their attempts Thursday [4 Dec 08] to contain a blaze that started a day earlier in the Kamiros region of Greece, authorities said. Fire crews have been battling the fire on the island of Rhodes since Wednesday, but firefighting aircraft have been limited in their efforts by strong winds in the area. The area is under a state of emergency ordered by the civil protection general secretariat. Authorities told the news agency the fire had already consumed nearly 6 square miles of brushland and forest.

Sun 0 Mars has now moved beyond the nodal degree. The conjunction remains in 1 degree orb until Dec 10th. It is still an explosive, fiery force, and perhaps becomes more so as Mars applies to square Uranus, partiling on the 12th.

Sun cj Mars = explosions: UPDATE #1

The following report has just come in at 04:44 UTC (6:44am SA).

Montserrat's Soufriere Hills Volcano has erupted, hurling hot rocks more than half a mile in the air, and setting buildings ablaze in the abandoned capital Plymouth. Roderick Stewart Director of the volcano observatory in Montserrat, said buildings burned for several hours but no one was injured or evacuated. According to Mr. Stewart, the blast was smaller than the July explosion which spewed ash some 40,000 feet into the air. "It generally happen without any warning ... the first thing I heard was the explosion which alerted me that something was going on ... I went outside and there was a lot of ash in the atmosphere. Mr. Stewart added that there were lightening strikes associated with the ash clouds and glowing rocks could be seen on the side of the volcano that had been thrown out from the lava dome. "We could also see that a lava flow had gone down into Plymouth which had been abandoned a long time ago and there were actually some building burning several miles from the volcano," he added.

In the sunrise chart erected for Montserrat, we have Mercury90MC, Chiron150MC, Uranus0IC.

As an aside, you would be surprised at how often Chiron is complicit in extreme natural phenomena. The recent floods in Santa Catarina province in Brazil had Chiron written all over them. This wounded healer does a lot more wounding than healing, I think. It was also involved in the collapse of those two schools in Haiti towards end October.

Traditionally in astrology, in return charts and lunations one is supposed to pay attention to planets in the degree of the Node as they are thought to be significant players in the forecast. I have not found this to be so. Planets that interact with angles of return charts, in tight orb (<1 degree) are far more important.

Occasionally, you get a blockbuster scenario where planets interact with angles AND tenant a degree of the Node. Such a case occurred today (3/12/08) in the sunrise chart. The rising Sun conjoins Mars both of which trine the South Node in 12 degrees of the fire triplicity. An even tighter orb of conjunction occurs in the sunrise chart tomorrow (4th).

This is an explosive combination. Already, an apartment complex has blown up in Gava, south west of Barcelona, in the early hours of the morning. And a fertilizer plant in southern Norway blew its lid later in the day. People have died and been horribly burnt in both cases. There will be other incidents before the setting of the Sun tomorrow evening (4th).

The question is where? How does one locate where these explosions are to take place? Sun cj Mars cj Asc in the degree of the Node applies across the globe in all the sunrise charts. The key to nailing down location is to look at aspects to the MC in the sunrise chart. In Gava, Pluto90MC. In Heroya (south), Jupiter90MC. Both within 1 degree orb.

With the current level of technology in astromapping, searching for such locations is like looking for the proverbial needle in the haystack.

Vote yourself into a love and sex fest in 2009 - the Obama way!!

Barack Hussein Obama - from less than zero to President in 2 years. HOW???


Mr Obama's rise to power has been prodigious. Starting as a rank outsider, he trounced establishment favourite Hillary Clinton to win the democratic nomination, and then annihiliated John McCain in the elections on November 4th.

To achieve this, as a "black" man, he had to overcome the innate racism of the American electorate. His time spent at a madrassa in Indonesia and a middle name of Hussein by all accounts should have wiped him out from get go. He also had to side-step a wave of homophobia associated with one time casual lover Larry Sinclair. (Fortunately, the main stream media never pushed this one.) Also, it seems he has got away with being elected without ever having to prove he was a natural born citizen. (The latter might just trip him up at the last minute - court cases demanding he show his original birth certificate have mushroomed all of the the USA, including one that is before the supreme court at the moment.)

For astrologers, by far his most challenging obstacle was the moment of the official launch of his presidential campaign; the moment he announced to the world that he was in the market to be president. February 10th 2007, 10:13am, Springfield, Illinois.

Astrologers everywhere, me included, scratched their heads about this. Clearly. Mr Obama was NOT using an astrologer to elect important events in the campaign, especially the announcement of his run. The Moon of this chart is most greviously voided, fallen in Scorpio, and losing light to boot. Three primary rules of classical electional astrology broken in a single moment. If the traditional approach to electing slots for success holds any water, Obama should not have been elected and will never be president of the USA.

Clearly, something has gone wrong with the astrology?

Or has it?

After studying Obama Announcement chart, I detected a unique geometry which appears to have upended some of astrology's dearly held assumptions and axioms. Sure, it is better to start important projects in a waxing phase, with a strong lunar dignity, the Moon in her joy and good aspect development. BUT!!! ... this Obama geometry is SO POWERFUL it cares not a fig for the classical rules. Obama rampaged to victory, notwithstanding the waning, voided, fallen Moon of the announcement chart.

I have changed my mind. This Barack Hussein Obama has a BRILLIANT astrologer on the payroll!

Anyone can take advantage of the Obama technique. For example, today, there is a beautiful Venus-Jupiter conjunction in the sky. Using the Obama geometry it is possible to leverage this config for maximum success in the field of love. Here's how.

Step 1: Choose your mark and get his/her phone number.
Step 2: Decide when you want the project to pay off ... in 2 months, 5 months, 18 months?
Step 3: Consult moi for the right time to call and invite the chosen one on a date.
Step 4: Make the call.
Step 5: Pursue success in this project with single-minded focus as though you were trying to achieve something really important like become the president.

It is probably a bit late to take advantage of today's conjunction. But there is a sextile coming up around Valentine's day in February '09, another one in June, and a trine in July. Any of these patterns can be leveraged to initiate love/sex fests which you are hoping will bear fruit later on in 2009.

Actually, the Obama geometry can be used for success in just about anything. And one does not need to wait for benefic aspects to shape up between Venus and Jupiter.

Tell you what, start donating $$ - see buttons on the right - and if enough people donate (reserve price $200) I'll post a few love slots on the blog with the Obama magic built in!!

Go for it. You know you want to! If you're lonely like my ex friend who accused me of poisoning him with psychoactive entheogens, and spend too much time doing bad things in front of your 500Gb porn collection, you really need to get out and try something new.

Time to enjoy startling Obama-style success in the field of love. Even if you have only an outside chance, providing you start at the right moment, you WILL BE SUCCESSFUL.

Ha Ha - Pierre's Blog scores its first success - unbeknownst to Pierre

In reading back over one of the earlier blog posts this morning ... entitled 1994 inauguration chart is radix ... I see that I inadvertantly made another prediction which has already materialised in fact.

In this post, date stamped 23rd September 2008, 3:32pm, I made the following statement:

By the time this progression plays out (March 2009), the face of "opposition politics" will have been completely transformed.

As you have no doubt noticed, October and November witnessed the birth of the new opposition party COPE.
