Unveiling Astrology Part 2)
START NOTHING (ALL TIMES ARE PACIFIC DAYLIGHT):5:57 pm to 10:43 pm Mon., 8:59 pm Tues. to 10:25 am Thurs., and 6:07 pm to 11:00 pm Sat.
PREAMBLE:
Notice the long Start Nothing period this week, from Tuesday eve to Thursday morning.
This “fits” with our present Mercury Retrograde situation (July 18 to August. 11) in which little that is started now will be “true” and “solid” and relevant.
(So I’ll repeat my advice: DON’T start any new projects, relationships nor major purchases before August 11.)
***
ALL SIGNS: DO NOT start a love affair or attraction Wednesday eve to Friday.

Well, I didn’t quit yet! Partly I was so disheartened by the shut-down of this site. For a while it looked like the end of the world – at least my world. But so many readers wrote to help and sympathize that I figured, well, I’ll give it another year… the shut down, by the way, was caused by the corruption of my security certificate. When I finally contacted the web host, within an hour they created a new one for me, sans charge. 🙂 all’s well!
WEEKLY FORECAST:
ARIES: March 21-April 19.
Romance, creative surges, risk-taking (and its reward) pleasure and beauty, sports/games, charming kids and dramatic displays (a back yard theatre?) fill the weeks ahead, Aries. With Saturn and Neptune in your sign now for the years ahead, you will become more responsible and ambitious, and yet more sympathetic and dreamy. In those dreams there can be great inspiration. You will also “grow” your management skills, and your connection to gov’t or a large company, institution. You are still working hard for another week or so, as Sunday/Monday demonstrate — two great days for accomplishment, but not for love. Relationships, opportunities, fresh horizons, cooperation and opposition fill Tuesday to late morning Thursday (PDT). Act early — only Tuesday will bring significant results. (Remember, don’t start any no relationships, projects or major purchases before August 11.) You might have to go against the family’s wishes on Tuesday, but little harm is done as Thursday starts a month of affection and happiness at home. Life’s secret side, lust for power or sex, major finances, medical and lifestyle concerns rise to the surface Thursday morning through Saturday. Investigate, research, ask questions — but be very slow to commit. Thursday and Friday combine good luck with bad. Saturday is productive and smooth.
TAURUS: April 20-May 20
The weeks ahead emphasize your home life, security, real estate and mother nature, Taurus. You might re-start an unfinished repair or other domestic project. This would usually be a great time to end some associations and situations, and plant/nurture new ones for the future. But remember, you should not, for your own sake, start any new relationships, projects or major purchases before August 11. (That can also refer to ending things. The very day Mercury went retrograde I sold my Bank of Nova Scotia stocks. A week later, they’re up by 6 % — 3,000 bucks not gained!) So start your pruning after August 10. The weeks ahead will be excellent for resting and contemplating — and hugging the kids, of course. Sunday/Monday are romantic and creative. You might see someone whose beauty stuns you. But love might promise more than it delivers Monday night (PDT). Tackle chores Tuesday/Wednesday. Eat and dress sensibly. Tuesday’s productive, but Wednesday yields few results. Mid- week ends a month of favourable money luck, and starts a month of pleasantness and mild good luck in communications, paperwork and travel. Thursday to Saturday features relationships, fresh horizons, co-operation and opposition, perhaps a public appearance. Luck is mixed Thursday./Fri., but Saturday rolls smoothly, for work and intimacy.
GEMINI: May 21-June 20
Errands, communications and paperwork fill the weeks ahead, Gemini — not in an overwhelming way, but quite likely in a confusing or delayed way. Double check messages before you send them, and make sure you have the address in your pocket when you get in the car. Don’t start any new projects, relationships or major purchases before August 11. One or two former acquaintances might show up soon. You are quite lucky for the 11 months ahead in daily money — earned income, dividends, sales of items, etc. This luck actually increases from late Wednesday night to August 25. Sunday/Monday focus on your home and family members, and your security. A fine time to go hiking in nature. Romantic and creative influences charm you Tuesday/Wednesday — but only Tuesday delivers any results, so don’t procrastinate. Tackle chores and care for your health Thursday through Saturday. Thurs./Fri. Show mixed results, but Saturday is smooth, productive — a friend might help.
CANCER: June 21-July 22
The focus for the weeks ahead lies on earned income, buying/selling, paying bills, casual acquaintances, casual sex and rote learning, Cancer. Remember, don’t start any new projects, major purchases or relationships before Aug. 11. But also remember you are the luckiest member of the zodiac for the year ahead! For the years ahead also, your ambitious side might hook up with a partner, and you might seek markets or income sources or simply prestige in far away places. If single, you might marry up, into a higher social or economic status. Thursday starts a month of “good hair days” — you will be attractive and gracious, and you’ll earn a lot of smiles. Until August 6, paperwork and messaging – and some travel – remain slightly hectic, but there is also a road to career success lying in there somewhere. Sunday/Monday bring this communications and paperwork influence to a peak. Both days flow well, but don’t form the idea that a friend could be a lover — won’t work. The focus switches to your home/family Tuesday to mid-morning Thursday. Get done what you need to do here Tuesday, as Wednesday is good for nothing except routine chores. Thursday morning (PDT) through Saturday brings romance, beauty, pleasure, creativity, speculation — a bit “iffy” Thurs./Fri., but all signals are green Saturday (to suppertime PDT, evening EDT, and deep night in Europe).
LEO: July 23-Aug. 22
You’re at the top of your game, Leo. But still, don’t start any new projects, relationships nor major purchases. Opportunities might return from the past — that’s good, but don’t chase brand new ones before Aug. 11. (They’re likely to be bear traps, a flimsy surface with a hole beneath.) A former friendly, light lover might return (a Gemini?). In some ways, this is a good time to just sit back and enjoy the attention and (perhaps) adulation. Contemplate this: your legal, travel, learning and media area is growing, subtly but hugely, over the years ahead. Your career success could depend on investments, research, deep commitment. — But don’t make any promises before Aug. 11. Your money picture is still quite active until August 6 — Sunday/Monday bring a peak, so plunge in. Errands, trips, calls, messaging and paperwork fill Tues./Wed. Tuesday is mixed but generally favourable, whereas Wednesday holds nil results (except in routine chores). Home, family, nature and security are slated mid-morning Thursday through Saturday. Only Sat. is without obstacles.
VIRGO: Aug. 23-Sept. 22
Lie low for the weeks ahead, Virgo. Your energy will be low, your charisma too. It’s a fine time to deal with gov’t, head office, or institutions. (There well might be things that have to be completed or caught up here.) A good time to seek advice, to rest, and to contemplate your life, past, present and possible future. But DON’T make plans before Aug. 11, as they will very likely change, or prove weak if you follow them. Your future over years shows a deep development in sexual attraction and partnership. Despite your weariness, friends come around, lift your spirits, right into late August. You exude sexuality, determination and “heat” (avoid aggression) until Aug. 6. You’ll probably “feel” this Sun./Mon., when your charisma and energy lift somewhat. (No, no advice. All’s well.) Chase $, buy/sell, hug a friend, learn something Tues. to mid-morn Thursday (PDT). Only Tuesday offers results, so act early. Thursday morning through Saturday brings errands, trips, calls, texts, paperwork and casual friends. Obstacles arise here Thursday and Friday, with “bits” of success. Saturday is good, productive, and your sexuality is showing. Remember, don’t start any new projects, relationships nor major purchases before August. 11.
LIBRA: Sept. 23-Oct. 22
Wishes can come true, Libra, especially old wishes. The weeks ahead feature popularity, social delights, flirtations/light romance, optimism and entertainment. A former flame might return from the past — so might a social or political group. But DON’T start any NEW projects, relationships or major purchases before Aug. 11. (Those returning from the past could be viable and worth engaging with or in.) Don’t even think of marrying someone you first met/meet June 18 to Aug. 6. The kind of person you should NOT marry (or situation you should not marry into) is probably around you (“in view”) Sunday/Monday. Use these two days to connect with government or head office, to rest, contemplate — but don’t create long-range plans; they will change. Your energy and charisma soar upward Tuesday to mid-morning Thursday, but only Tuesday is productive. Stick to routine Wednesday and early Thursday. (Thursday starts a few weeks in which higher ups will favour you.) Chase $, buy (minor stuff, not big things) sell, pay bills, hug a friend, learn by reading, Thurs. mid-morn (PDT) through Sat. Both Thursday and Friday hold obstacles, but Saturday sails smoothly — plunge in.
SCORPIO: Oct. 23-Nov. 21
The weeks ahead feature ambition, career, prestige relations, and worldly status, Scorpio. However, situations remain unstable until August 11, so don’t start anything new, projects, relationships or big purchases. Your work in the years ahead will feature two things: creativity/love for the work, and a lot more communication. The 11 months ahead, and the month ahead, are very fortunate in areas such as far travel, social rituals/weddings, gentle love, law, higher learning, media and life philosophy. The year ahead is a great time to make sense of life, of destiny and God. The insights and conclusions you arrive at can serve you well for the next decade +. Many (single) Scorpios will wed by next summer. You continue to prefer male friends, until August 6. Some of these friends might show up Sunday/Monday, when your hopes are high and you’re feeling optimistic and friendly. Again, do not form a new relationship. Stick with the old guys. Retreat from the bustling crowd Tuesday to mid morning (PDT) Thursday — rest, contemplate, seek advice, and liaise with government and head office. This is the time to take care of those insurance applications, etc. Your energy and charisma surge upward Thursday morning through Saturday. Thursday and Friday are quite mixed, luck-wise. But Saturday only has a green signal — charge ahead, especially with a social group, or less so, a group from work. All’s well!
SAGITTARIUS: Nov. 22-Dec. 21
A month of mystery and perhaps sexual temptations is over, Sage. Now you are entering weeks of stuff you love: far travel, social rituals, law, learning, publishing/media, philosophy/religion and international affairs. But remember: start NO new projects, relationships nor major purchases before August 11. A former spouse or old flame might return — might be a Gemini, Leo or Virgo. (If Virgo, you’ve had trouble before.) Research, other people’s money, sex, investments, lifestyle changes — these are blessed now (especially August!) to next summer. It will be a great 11 months to invest or tie tie your life to some sort of “ship.” Mars is your romance planet, but now (mid-June to Aug. 6) it sits in your career sector — which can spur you to new creativity in work, and/or make bosses rather touchy, temperamental — be diplomatic! Sun./Mon. demonstrate this career/status trend. Your hopes and optimism, your popularity and happiness rise Tues. to mid-morning (PDT) Thurs. Only Tuesday offers results, so act early. Otherwise, just enjoy! Lie low, rest and recuperate, liaise with gov’t, head office, contemplate and ask advice Thursday morning through Saturday. Thurs./Fri. Are dicey, mixing good luck with bad. But Saturday’s clear and productive.
CAPRICORN: Dec. 22-Jan. 20
Relationships have been plain and clear over the last month, Cap. The weeks ahead focus on the private or more hidden side of relationships, agreements, financing, investments, debt, medical and lifestyle issues. This is where attraction or love becomes intimate and consequential. But remember, start no new relationships, projects, investments or major purchases before August 11 — especially in this “hidden,” more private zone. Although you are delving into the deeper side of things, open, honest and transparent relationships remain fortunate — very fortunate, as they can bring major opportunities to you for 11 months ahead. Others treat you affectionately and graciously Thursday to late August. Sunday/Monday brings wisdom, profound thoughts, and perhaps travel, legal involvements, higher learning, religion and/or publishing. All’s fine, but don’t bother chasing love Monday p.m. Be ambitious Tuesday to mid morning Thursday. Act Tuesday, as Wednesday and early Thursday yield nil results. Mid morning Thursday (PDT) through Saturday brings happiness, optimism, and flirtations. You will be intrigued! Thursday and Friday have a bit of luck, but many obstacles, so just enjoy the mood and don’t try to get ambitiously practical things done. Saturday is happy all over! Be with friends, tell them your ideas and hopes.
AQUARIUS: Jan. 21-Feb. 18
The weeks ahead focus on relationships, fresh horizons, opportunities, relocation themes, agreement and dispute, Aquarius. Be diplomatic. Focus on the past and returning opportunities here — not on the future. Remember, don’t start any new relationships, major purchases or projects before August 11. Until then, a former spouse or old flame might re-enter your life. Judge this by the past — if it was good, then be open to re-establishing the bond. Lots of work until next summer — guard your daily health. Both these (work, health) will be blessed through August; co-workers will treat you with affection. Your sexual and financial sector remains intense until August 6 — and is highlighted Sunday/Monday. Resist a spur to “new action.” Law, publishing, fame, media, education, rituals, far travel and gentle love are emphasized Tuesday to mid-morn Thursday (PDT). Only Tuesday yields results, so act early! Work hard, be ambitious, impress the powers that be Thursday morning through Saturday. Thursday and Friday definitely hold obstacles, but Friday also offers employment or payroll success if you can avoid fantasizing/dreaming about an unrealistic love. Saturday is a go-ahead day — dress “up,” display your worldly status.
PISCES: Feb. 19-March 20
A month of creativity, pleasure and romance is over, Pisces. Now through late August you will encounter many chores — many of these have been hanging fire, or have returned from the past, so tackle them. A former health problem might arise, also. But DON’T start a new project, relationship nor major purchase, esp. of machinery. (E.g., if you buy a new computer now, it will always give you trouble.) Although your general month of romance and creativity has ended, 11 months of great good luck remain in this area. Additionally, the three weeks ahead bring a secondary but strong and sweet romantic atmosphere. Relationships are highlighted Sunday/Monday. They remain volatile until August 6, so be diplomatic! (The best of these will focus on earning money, as Monday might show.) Secrets, subconscious promptings, investigation, lust for sex or power, medical and lifestyle decisions, major financial actions — these fill Tuesday to mid morning Thursday (PDT). Act Tuesday, as after this day little of lasting consequence will result. Thursday morning through Saturday brings profound thoughts, a gentle love of a person or humanity, international concerns, higher learning, law, life philosophy and/or media. Bad luck mixes with good Thursday and Friday, but Saturday gives an “all clear” signal for relationships, love and action.
THE END.
AFTERAMBLE:
Canadian crown (i.e., gov’t) prosecutors are asking for sentences of seven years and eight years for two organizers of the truck convoy from the prairies to Ottawa in the early Covid years. Their “crimes” were evidently charged as misdemeanors, not felonies. Misdemeanors are jay walking, not paying a parking ticket, maybe a pub brawl, etc. They usually involve no jail time, and are either just dismissed, earn a warning or carry a minor fine.
But because these two dared to defy the corrupt, cowardly Ottawa government, their misdemeanours, say government prosecutors, should earn them almost a decade in prison — about the same sentence handed down for manslaughter, murder and rape in Canada. Even bank robbers get lighter sentences.
I thought we had seen the end of Ottawa’s cowardice when Justin Trudeau was turfed out of the PM position. But it seems to continue just as corruptly under Mark Carney. To throw people in jail because they protested an unfair, unjust and destructive mandate by a deceptive and wrongheaded government, to throw people in jail because they would not let you destroy their jobs, deny their children an education and destroy the prairie economy – which Ottawa has never cared about except to suck down its cheap wheat, oil and gas — is the mark of a totalitarian government, which unfortunately Canada can become at any time in its own polite, inoffensive way.
***
BTW, Canada’s Prime Minister, Mark Carney, is a Pisces. That means he can be very flexible and even indecisive in policy decisions. Uranus, Moon, Mars and Pluto sit in Virgo, opposite his Pisces Sun. (This gives him the manner of a Libran, a compromiser and soother.) This conjunction in Virgo is rare and powerful, and indicates that he deals with strong, even draconian personalities. (Trump, anyone?)
His rising sign is Taurus, making him more firm and steady — and stubborn — than most Pisceans. His rising degree hints that he has many more “servants” than friends. His Virgo moon surrounded by Uranus, Pluto and Mars hints that he is extremely good with details, even creative with them.
Carney’s Sun position dominates Donald Trump’s Gemini Sun, so he won’t be an easy victim for the Donald in these tariff wars. His Moon in Virgo also dominates Trump’s Sagittarius moon. However, Trump’s Moon dominates Carney’s Sun, and Trump’s Sun dominates Carney’s moon. Carney is extremely skilled in dealing with opposition, and persuading others. But his set-up with Trump reveals a Grand Cross, in which each of their Suns and Moons are square the other’s. Even their rising signs are in conflict: Carney’s Taurus to Trump’s Leo. This won’t be an easy relationship.
***
The WBNA (Women’s professional basketball) seems to be filled with black women who hate white women, witness Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark. Clark has been nothing but polite, inoffensive and focussed on her game. Angel Reese, the fight-provoking leader of her team, and a black woman, constantly attacks, both on the court and off, the more gifted white woman, Clark. She is probably the best female basketball player in the world, certainly in North America. And Reese, a black woman, can’t stand that. I suspect she believes blacks must always be better than whites in sports. But the WNBA blithely continues letting Reese foul and insult Clark. I said it before: in America, blacks are far more racist than whites. Of course they have a reason to be, but how long will all this blame continue?

Only a fool knows everything. In some cultures, a fool is close to God. Kind of expands the definition of fool, doesn’t it?
***
If you are intelligent, secondary schools, 6-12, are one of the worst places to learn, because to them knowledge is a concrete block. (Which is natural for block-heads.)
Not only is high school knowledge a concrete block, unchanging, unable to create, but you can never see anything beneath the surface.
Maybe this is unfair comment. I have always disliked teachers as, unfortunately, like some teenagers, I believed in (my) “truth” more than diplomacy. But also unfortunately, when I told this or that teacher that what they taught was wrong, they tended to kick me out of class. In a climax of sorts, when I critiqued my Grade 8 English teacher’s writing, the vice-P was going to suspend me, until my art teacher interfered.
I don’t know about today, but in the 1960s teachers were much more concerned about your behaviour than about your condition. They didn’t give a shit whether you were abandoned, sexually abused, shamed and humiliated by your hand down clothes, had rotten teeth, suffered excruciating ear aches, had worked since 4 am every school day to earn money for clothes — all they could say was: “Why are you so thoughtless and inconsiderate?” (I.e., why do you criticize teachers when you have absolutely no right to do so?)
But that’s not why I have almost no respect for high school teachers. It’s because they have no respect for true intelligence, for enquiring intelligence. To them, whoever does not agree with their rules and limited view, must be squeezed into the mold of mediocrity. Such teachers basically are communists who believe that everyone should be the same. Look at the teachers in America under union boss Randi Winegarten (sp?): she, and they, don’t care about the kids at all.

There are fewer and fewer avenues of truth as you age. But they are still plentiful.
