Peter Mandelson — liar or “the most charming man in Westminster” — may turn out to be the biggest traitor to this country since the Cambridge Four. Like them, he was deeply embedded in the British Establishment, so embedded, indeed, that they gave him a Lordship. Meanwhile, he was [...]

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has had a hell of a Saturn Return. He became the leader of his country, while standing up to his unruly southern neighbour, pivoted Canada’s alliances, and just last week delivered one of the most important 15-minute speeches of the decade. Carney is [...]

Stern Saturn and idealistic Neptune met in the 20th century in just three signs at approximately 35-year intervals. Each time, there was a paradigm shift for Russia. 1917—By February, more than 9 million had been killed in the war; famine scratched at the civilian population as the government [...]

No child should be part of any conflict — ever. So far, at least 20,000 Ukrainian children have been abducted and taken for “re-education” into the heart of Russia. Meanwhile, at least 17,000 Palestinian children have been killed outright by the Israeli military in the last 18 [...]

It was just that, until quite recently, for a few brief decades, in some parts of the world, we were able to carry on our little lives, listening to Daft Punk, making babies, sipping tea, scrolling through videos of foxes and grannies, planting carrots, dreaming, creating and generally trying [...]

It’s always a bit worrying going to talk with sceptics about astrology, but this interview with The Spectator was lovely. They were very nice people and we even had a bit of a laugh. Enjoy. Here’s how they describe it “When pollster Nate Silver declared that dissecting an [...]

Yesterday, Conservative members of parliament voted to make Rishi Sunak Prime Minister of Great Britain. He’s by far the wealthiest person ever to have held that office. He’s also the youngest in a very long time, and he’s the first British Asian. He’s also been in [...]

Boris Johnson, the British Prime Minister, is in trouble, but the astrology is sweet. Blond-bombshell Johnson was born with an extraordinary cosmic signature — Venus Retrograde in the heart of his Gemini Sun. So if you’d speculated that Venus Retrograde periods might be significant [...]

The redoubtable Alexandria Ocasio Cortez made a blistering speech to congress on July 23, in response to being verbally assaulted by Representative Ted Yoho on the steps of that institution. It’s worth hearing from beginning to end. Doubtless one day it will be taught to schoolchildren. [...]

The British Prime Minister’s Machiavelli, Dominic Cummings, is in trouble — even though his “boss” is backing him. The serpentine Cummings is a close equivalent to ex-White House advisor Steve Bannon. Indeed, they are said to be in frequent touch. Cummings’ great [...]

An odd feature of the current crisis — in this country — is the fact that the head of government has been missing for most of the time. Prime Minister Boris Johnson failed to take the pandemic seriously back in February, missing five meetings on the subject, taking two weeks’ [...]

New York governor Andrew Cuomo’s daily briefings about the Coronavirus have become comfort-viewing for millions over the past few weeks. As he sits behind the great big wooden desk in New York’s state capital Albany every day and calmly explains the numbers, the plan and the [...]

One of the most noticeable phenomena of recent times is the rise of the comedian-politician. And by that I don’t mean a funny guy running the country, I mean professional comedians who turn to politics. In democracies that is.  Just the other day, a comedian called Volodymyr Zelensky won the [...]

It’s easy to forget in all the fuss about the youngest ever congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, that her main asset is her mind (Mercury on the MC). Her evisceration of the campaign finance laws this week demonstrated her razor sharp intelligence and ability to get to the heart of an [...]

In this era of crazy behaviour by politicians, when white is orange, and green is encyclopedia, the behaviour of British Minister for International Development Priti Patel still seems outré. This summer, the minister took a “holiday” in Israel — during which she had more than 10 unauthorised [...]

Oh the splendidness of astrology. I was listening to that Jacob Rees-Mogg, a 48-year-old elderly schoolboy who may actually become the next leader of the British Conservative Party. He is a caricature of “posh”, with the faux self-deprecating, smooth-bumbling of an Etonian (super polite and [...]

Donald Trump has an important fixed star right on his Ascendant. It is one of the four royal stars, Regulus at 29° Leo. Here is what the medieval Italian astrologer Guido Bonatti wrote about the influence of Regulus on the Ascendant. “…this alone signifies that the Native shall be a person of [...]

You didn’t have to be an astrologer to predict the victory of centrist Emmanuel Macron in today’s French election — he was a clear 20 point ahead in the polls. Still it’s a relief, since Marine Le Pen, leader of the far-right nationalists, also had excellent transits. But astrology can tell us [...]

Theresa May became Britain’s second woman Prime Minister last summer, because there was no alternative. The rest of them had done each other in. She was the last woman standing, and the country breathed a collective sigh of relief when she stepped into the breach. She seemed capable, calm, [...]

Barack and Michelle Obama may have left the White House today, but they have certainly not left politics. In fact, Obama’s career as a world leader and elder statesman has only just begun. While he was president Obama carried a burden of huge responsibility, without always being able to wield [...]
