2020 Virgo Ingress of the Sun
I rarely post on ingress charts other than the four cardinal Ingresses – the solstice and equinox events. Bot this is no ordinary year, by anyone’s standards and I’m there for watching the unfolding patterns that precede the Great Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Aquarius, an event that will have repercussions not only until […]

Read MoreIndian Independence Part II
In my judgment, this act was one of the most ill-concieved in history. India was the loser in virtually all instances. To understand the deeper nature of ongoing conflict there are many good books on the subject. I would personally recommend two fairly recent ones: Shadow War: The Untold Story of Jihad in Kashmir by Arif Jamal […]

This is to discuss some of the etymological and ubiquitous symbolic qualities of the Sky God known by several names, but most famously as Zeus or Jupiter. He is perhaps best known as the Master of the Heavens. He was identified by the Romans as Jupiter or Jove. Jupiter is known as the earth-shaker. At will, he could summon […]
