Unveiling Astrology Part 2)
START NOTHING (ALL TIMES ARE PACIFIC DAYLIGHT): 4:03 am to 4:44 am Sun., 1:47 pm to 2:16 pm Tues., and 12:30 pm Wed. to 2:33 am Fri.
PREAMBLE:
ALL SIGNS — A slowdown looms, will arrive by mid-July, and last through Aug. 10. Avoid starting big projects that will be “developing” during this time, as delays, mistakes, indecision and missing supplies or personnel could harm the project.
WEEKLY FORECAST:
ARIES: March 21-April 19
The accent remains on home, family and security, Aries. (An area of great good luck for the next 12 months.) A mildly fortunate money phase will end Friday, when a few weeks of pleasant communications, pleasurable travel, and possibly remunerative or otherwise rewarding paperwork, begins. Work is top of your mind now — chores/tasks are big, timely, and “double” — you might be working in 2 places, or holding two positions, etc. You are growing increasingly serious about your future, your ambitions and your moral side. Romantic or creative talks, trips, meetings occur repeatedly now to Sept. 2. Tackle chores Sunday to mid-afternoon Tues. (PDT). You’ll succeed, all flows well. Relationships arise Tuesday eve to pre-dawn Fri. Be cautious Tues./Wed. — others don’t seem to agree. Thursday, just continue with routine, even if others try to lure you away. (Read “Start Nothing” above.) Fri./Sat. bring secrets, mysteries, research, hidden treasure, perhaps medical or lifestyle choices — generally fortunately!
TAURUS: April 20-May 20
Your days continue to be filled with details, paperwork, communications, short trips and casual acquaintances, Taurus. (This is only the start of a 12-month flurry of the same.) Generally, you’re happy — and you’re still good-looking, until July 4. Romance has two effects until early August: 1) passionate; and 2) restrictive. Much talk and activity around the home now to Sept. 2, with some confusion or delays mid-July to early August. Sunday’s romantic and creative “goodness” lasts into mid-afternoon Tues. — take advantage! Later Tuesday to pre-dawn Friday, chores, employment, health and tools/machinery predominate — it’s a bit of a tough period, so just soldier on — stick to convention, routine. Relationships and opportunities light up Fri./Sat. with good luck and solid results — but don’t argue Friday morning.
GEMINI: May 21-June 20
The accent remains on casual sex, book learning, possessions and income, Gemini. These things will grow in importance and benefice for 12 months — best Sept./25 to mid-February./26. They might even lead singles to marry. (But think twice.) Your home remains argumentative until August 6 (when a huge romantic streak will arrive — if you’re single, someone might view you as marriage material — but that’s all August onward). You can reduce domestic friction by plunging into a physical project — e.g., build a garage or swimming pool. (But read “ALL SIGNS” in the PREAMBLE above.) Starting Friday, you’re granted “good hair days” for the remainder of July. Lots of details, running around, paperwork, calls and texts until Sept. 2 — these will run into delays and second-thoughts in mid-July (but also might bring back a long-missed friend). Sunday to mid-afternoon Tues. (PDT) nudges you toward home, family, nature, rest and contemplation. Despite my harping on domestic friction, these are very pleasant days. Romance or creative or “gambling” notions grab you Tuesday afternoon to pre-dawn Friday. Go slow during this interval — several barriers, not much luck. Tackle chores Fri./Sat. — you’ll get them done quite easily, and might see an opportunity to earn more, Friday.
CANCER: June 21-July 22
You’re still at a peak in energy, charisma and effectiveness, Cancer. You feel confident and capable, and that feeling will grow over the next 12 months, as you grow more friendly, cheerful and optimistic. A grand year awaits you! Friends have been and are affectionate until Friday. Then to July’s end you will find favour in gov’t, management and institutional settings. Many communications involve your career until early August. Your money/income picture looks very active now to Sept. 2. Sunday to Tuesday afternoon brings errands, paperwork, trips, calls, texts, etc. Dive in, as you can accomplish a lot here. Home, family, security, mother nature — these absorb your attention Wed./Thurs., but not happily. Get ready to solve some problems. Romance (or a creative or gambling urge) could entrance you Fri./Sat. Singles could find love — but seek after Fri. morning (after 9 am PDT, noon EDT).
LEO: July 23-Aug. 22
Continue to lie low, rest, avoid the hustling crowd, and plan your future, Leo. Your energy and charisma are low for three more weeks. This is a time to pamper your health. A door might open to management levels. The entire year ahead will be fortunate if you deal with gov’t, seek advice, invest, research, and are charitable toward others. If you are a criminal, incarceration might be approaching. You will be rather talkative and restless all the way to early September — don’t talk yourself into a situation that you don’t really want to be in. money flows swiftly to you now until August 6. Try to keep it, or to pay down debt, rather than spend. Higher-ups still favour you until Friday. That day starts 3 + weeks of flirting with a friend, or with the idea of love, friends, social life. Chase $, buy/sell, collect and pay, Sunday to mid-afternoon Tues. (PDT) — a good interval. A casual sexual embrace might occur. Ereands, paperwork and communications are slated Tuesday afternoon through Thursday. This interval isn’t so easy Tuesday, and not much to crow about overall. Be diplomatic in communications. Head for home, family, a nature vacation, gardening, etc., Fri./Sat. Other than a wee (subtle and deep) “lack of harmony” Friday morning (evening in Europe) this is a fruitful and fortunate two days.
VIRGO: Aug. 23-Sept. 22
Mars in your sign until August 6 imbues you with strong sexual magnetism, Virgo — as well as a drive to research, uncover secrets, commit to someone/thing. Along with this, July emphasizes friendly love and flirtations, optimism, popularity and social joys. This happy theme will actually last a full 12 months, and could somehow tie in with where you live, your family, could bring real estate bargains, might start a life-long love, and will bring one or two of your more major wishes true. Now to Sept. 2, you will be holding confidential discussions, seeking therapy, liaising with gov’t or institutions or “head office,” and generally trying to figure out who you are and what you truly want — look as far down the road as retirement. Your energy and charisma soar Sunday to mid-afternoon Tuesday (PDT). Get out, see and be seen, ask favours, seek allies, and start things — but not long projects, as a period of confusion, delays, missing people or supplies starts mid-July. Chase money, buy/sell, hug, flirt with a friend, read a book Tuesday afternoon through Thursday. But proceed cautiously, as the aspects aren’t great. Errands, paperwork and communications slated Fri./Sat. Charge ahead, you’ll get it/them done!
LIBRA: Sept. 23-Oct. 22
The main accent falls on your ambitions, Libra, for 3 more weeks. Worldly status, prestige relations, and dealings with authorities — these are in focus. Work hard, but especially, work smart. This area of ambitions will be hugely blessed now through June 2026. (Best early Sept. to mid-Feb.) It’s time to befriend the boss, to hone and show your skills, to attend any upgrading classes, etc. DO be willing to travel. Investments and sex remain favourable before Friday. Realize, if since, that any new “prospects” who show up before Aug. 6 will NOT make good partners — they will undercut and restrict you eventually. If married, your spouse might, same period, need help, or be irritable or simply argue. Oh, well. Now to September 2, you will invest a lot of hope in a friend, a flirtation, an optimistic plan or social life (especially social life around school, travel or church). A Gemini might be involved. (If a Virgo is involved, be careful.) This might seem to fail, late July/early August, then will revive. Rest, contemplate and plan Sunday to mid-afternoon Tuesday (PDT) — connect with head office, an institution or gov’t, apply for a grant, seek advice, ask for a tax refund, etc. Your luck is good. Your energy and charisma soar Tues. pm through Thursday, but unfortunately the aspects are poor — opposition Tuesday, in work and home/family areas, and “blah” (but not harmful) influences after that. Chase $ Fri./Sat., hug a friend, read a book, pay bills (ask for a pay raise?). All’s well!
SCORPIO: Oct. 23-Nov. 21
The main emphasis for the few weeks ahead lies on higher learning, profound thoughts, international affairs, legal, media and philosophical pursuits – and gentle love. This area should prove productive this month, but in addition will be blessed with very good luck for the whole 12 months ahead. so it’s a great time to go to school, travel afar, fall in love and write a book and all that stuff. Now to August 6, your social life seems to connect to your chores. You might make friends with coworkers — a good idea. Communications involving your ambitions or career take place now to early September. There will be a lot of confusion in this mid July to early August, so remain flexible, willing to wait for eventual outcomes. optimism, popularity, flirting, social delights and entertainment fill Sunday to Tuesday mid afternoon (PDT). All’s good, so plunge in! Retreat from the crowd Tuesday pm through Thursday — rest, contemplate and plan. Seek advice from a mentor, gov’t or an institution. Don’t attempt much, as glitches and opposition prevail. Your energy and charisma surge upward Fri./Sat. — and smooth good luck accompanies you — start things, get things done. (But before starting a big project, realize mid-July to early August will bring delays, shortages, mistakes and indecision — so plan to work around this difficult period.)
SAGITTARIUS: Nov. 22-Dec. 21
Three more weeks of secrets, mysteries, life changes, medical concerns, sex/lust, and large finances, Sage. This whole area is blessed with good luck now through June, 2026. (September to February will be best; before and after your romantic or creative leanings might actually interfere with or dampen good luck — but not entirely!) Higher-ups are temperamental until Aug. 6, so be diplomatic, reliable. Co-workers remain pleasant, gracious — until Friday. (This day starts a month of generally pleasant relationships, esp. with Gemini or Leo.) Much thinking, discussion around higher learning/subjects, law, far travel, society, and love, until Sept. 2. Watch what you sign up for here — confusion, mistakes might arrive mid-July to early August. Be ambitious Sunday to mid-afternoon Tues. Career, prestige relations and worldly status are in focus (and you “escape” an irritable higher-up). Wishes predominate Tuesday pm through Thursday — popularity, optimism and flirting exist, but there isn’t much luck, so enjoy the mood, welcome what/who comes. Retreat, find a quiet place Fri./Sat. — your energy and charm are low. Think, examine the past and plan the future. A good interval that ends well.
CAPRICORN: Dec. 22-Jan. 20
The accent lies on relationships for 3 more weeks, Cap. “Relationships” include relocation themes, opportunities, public dealings. Be diplomatic. This area is chock-full of great good luck for the next 12 months. You singles could meet your life mate. Every Cap will face opportunities — and some opposition (probably political or religious or “opinion-based”). Strictly avoid lawsuits before Aug. 7. Much discussion and/or exploration/research involving debt, investments, lifestyle changes, and sexual areas (desire, pregnancy, etc.) now to Sept. 2. Be cautious here — don’t invest (or jump into bed, etc.) impulsively. Mid-July will bring unforeseen circumstances, could stand an investment “on its head.” Friday starts a month of benign co-worker involvements. Sunday to mid-afternoon Tuesday brings profound thoughts, far travel, higher learning, law (careful!) philosophy, media and gentle love — all’s fine! Pursue ambitions Tues. afternoon through Thursday. But proceed cautiously, as luck has left the scene. Fri./Sat. promote happiness, optimism — your popularity rises, friendly flirting occurs, and social delights arrive. Enjoy!
AQUARIUS: Jan. 21-Feb. 18
Three more weeks of work and health concerns, Aquarius. But this area of work can be very lucky for the next 12 months. (Best this week and next, but more so Sept.-Feb.) This is one of the prime times to gain from work, to obtain a promotion or a permanent pay raise — or simply to find employment. If self-employed, you might be purchasing equipment or machinery in the year ahead, and this will redound to your benefit, perhaps for years to come. Your sexual desires are hot now to Aug. 6, and by Friday (to July 30) your romantic outlook and chances will get a boost. Mercury in your relationship sign until Sept. 2 will ring many talks, meetings, texts with others, perhaps about love, but perhaps about a project, or relocation, or public dealings — and hidden dealings, too. You might have to choose between a sweet romantic person and a very sexy person. (Believe it or not, romance will win.) Sunday to mid-afternoon Tues. (PDT) brings secrets, investigations, major finances, change, medical decisions — all favourably, so plunge in. Good investments available. Mental pondering, international affairs, law, education, publishing and love form a picture Tuesday eve through Thursday — but not an appealing one. Take care, remain non-committal. Be ambitious Fri./Sat. — good progress in career, projects, and public events. Slow but good friends might show up.
PISCES: Feb. 19-March 20
The main emphasis in July lies on romance, charming children (and raising/teaching them) creative surges and speculative urges, sports/games, risk/reward, and general joy, beauty and pleasure, Pisces. These are blessed by good, even great, luck until July 2026. Your ruler (Neptune) entered Aries last March, so you’ll be “obsessed” with earning money until 2039 — 14 years. But this year ahead, think love and pleasure, let $ be a secondary interest. (Believe it or not, wishes will come true in the $ area in the next 2 + years.) Relationships are dicey now to Aug. 6 — 1) could bring a money earning partnership; 2) could bring hot intimacy; 3) could bring hostility, even violence. Friday to July’s end brings affection, happiness to your home. Much talk, for 2 months, about health, and, at work, about tasks, projects, machinery. (Realize a slowdown will come, mid-July, bringing delays, indecision, perhaps mistakes for 3 weeks, so plan accordingly.) Sunday to mid-afternoon Tues. (PDT) brings those relationships, on the good side — charge ahead, good luck rides with you. But poor luck affects your money affairs Tuesday eve through Thursday, so proceed with caution, especially Tuesday suppertime/eve (PDT). Fri./Sat. will please you. Love, understanding, travel, long-distance talks, higher learning, law and media, all go well these 2 days.
THE END.
AFTERAMBLE:
How do you find your perfect physical/sexual mate?
Easy. Go to Google or any search engine, and ask: how many days between (enter your date of birth — day, month, year — let’s call it your ANCHOR DATE) and (enter today or any day)? Take that figure and divide it by 23. If it divides perfectly, excellent; this — today, the date you entered AFTER your birth date — is your PULSE or TRIGGER DATE. This pulse will occur every 23 days after your birth. (I.e., on the 24th day.) But say, after dividing by 23, you have a remainder of 4. Then take today’s date and go back 4 days, to find your pulse date. If you have a large remainder, say of 20, then go forward, add 3 days to locate your pulse or trigger date (or take 20 days away — either method works).
You can use your anchor (birth) date in two ways: you can embark on a long and perhaps useless search for anyone born in any 23 day interval from your anchor (birth) date. For example, say your birth date was July 1, 1980. Then every 23 days after that date would be your trigger date or pulse date, meaning that anyone born on these 23-day markers or trigger dates, will experience a reciprocal physical attraction to and with you. (The attraction will still be strong if someone was born any multiple of 23 days from your birth date, but falls short or over-shoots by 1 to 3 days. The attraction and compatibility slowly wanes/decreases as we move away from these trigger dates, which occur every 23 days. So you can even make a little calendar of them – also because your trigger days are ones of extra energy and charisma for you, and favour starting projects and seeking a partner.
(If you count 23 days from your birth date, say Dec. 1 to Dec. 23, then your physical ideal will be born on Dec. 24 — but don’t use 24 as a divider or counter!)
More useful perhaps, especially if you lead an active social life, is to use your anchor point and its trigger dates as measuring sticks. Say you meet a nice young man and because it’s nice you haven’t had sex yet but you know it’s eminent. What will it be like, realms of magic or disappointment city? Well, hit that search engine again, and enter your birthday and year, and his birthday and year, and ask how many days between. Then divide these days by 23 and look at the remainder: if it’s less than three points over or under 23, you will have a strong physical attraction that can last decades. The further you get from 23 with 0 remainder, the weaker the mutual attraction grows. (With one exception, which only applies to physical attraction, not emotional or intellectual — there will also be physical excitement with anyone born 11 or 12 days from the “23 day ideal,” i.e., from your pulse dates. Without seeing enough examples to be sure, I suspect that this attraction is dynamic rather than harmonious. I suspect it has a strong push-pull dynamic, and all that entails.
Unfortunately, the 23-day divider only measures physical attraction/harmony. There are intellectual and emotional rhythms also. To find your intellectual/social sympathizer or partner, copy the above method, but use 33 days instead of 23.
To judge your emotional compatibility, use the same method, but use 28 days as your divider.
NOTE: in intellectual and emotional cases, a huge remainder showing zero or very low compatibility (e.g., a remainder of 15-17 intellectually or 13-15 emotionally) will NOT spark an attraction, but lead to misunderstanding and dislike.

They should have followed my advice years ago on how to handle the flood of migrants into the US: they should have been handled by an army of bureaucrats/officials. So they would not be turned away, but instead would be identified, given a booklet in Spanish telling them what’s going on and the process. They would be held until they could be identified, fingerprinted, photographed, strip searched, record searched, showered, disinfected, and given a Social Security number. The booklet would explain that they were free to work in the US for anyone they liked anywhere they liked, but they must pay taxes, both income and employment taxes. If they do not commit a crime for five years and are gainfully employed for at least four of those five years and paid taxes, they would be granted citizenship. All this would be explained in the pamphlet.
Then they would simply be let go. The whole process could take 40 minutes per immigrant, so one processor could handle 12 to 40 a day, depending on the system. If you had two shifts per day and 100 processors, they could handle 2400 to 8000 immigrants per day. You could build as big and as many processing centres as you need. Once through the turnstiles of this Social Security/ID process, the immigrants are simply left outside on the U. S. Side.
If each immigrant was given $200 during the SS/ID process, they would be able to buy bus tickets, eat at a restaurant, etc. The rest would be up to them. If there were 20 million immigrants in this past wave, giving each $200 would cost
$4 billion — a pittance in U.S. spending.
This satisfies the Democrat demand for illegal farm and hotel and dishwasher workers, and the Republican demand that immigrants don’t overwhelm the Social Security net. This method widens the taxpayer base, and accepts the new vibrancy, genius and ambition of immigrants. It also deepens America’s DNA pool.
Any criminals, gang members or foreign actors such a spies could be winnowed off and placed in separate holding cells/areas to be processed for either incarceration or expulsion.
Now it’s too late to do any of this. The 21 million are scattered across the nation. What could have been done with a simple Democratic process at the border will now take massive billions of dollars and millions of human hours to accomplish.
Obviously ICE is not up to the job of finding and deporting 21 million illegal immigrants. I think they will accomplish much of their partial/primary goal, to arrest and deport criminals. But much of the remainder will hobble along in the US, going from one menial job to another because they don’t have citizenship. This will increase the divide in the US between the poor and the affluent, with its consequences. So to a large degree Biden’s intent will remain fulfilled. But we can thank Trump for hopefully winnowing out the criminal element. Aside from the non-registration of the aliens and the lack of Social Security numbers, and therefore of tax revenues, this was a good thing that happened to the US. Immigrants, especially those brave enough to go through the dangers of coming to the US border, bring in new ideas, new blood, and new energy. They are a tonic to any nation, and should be respected as such.
Someday, hopefully, there will be no immigrants because there will be no nations.

When I was a boy, our neighbourhoods — there were many; I had a paper route that spanned three or four of them — were filled with Scottish and English people; in the more sophisticated neighbourhoods downtown, and the towers, there would be a more diverse mix. But in our neighbourhood, there was only two kinds of foreign people: the Germans, who ran the butcher shops and were treated as equals, and the Chinese/Asian, who were mostly of the servant and labourer classes. In our neighbourhoods, they ran the Chinese restaurants, herb dispensaries and the corner convenience store. We called them the chink stores. I could say we said it in innocence, as everyone said it. But there was a slice of slander in there, an almost translucent slice. It wrapped us in an expression — no, it was an expression that wrapped us in a biased view of the world, whether we felt that bias at the time or not. Like wild horses being corralled, adopting these phrases chases us gradually into canyons of negative beliefs and moral dead ends.

The first great gift was the Sun, and on a universal scale the stars. The second great gift was water. From water and the sun, everything flowed, even to today. On a minor scale, to humans and others, God granted minor gifts: sex, intelligence/consciousness, imagination, and the desire to live and improve, or to explore. I don’t know if He or She or –I like to call It Isness — really wanted human beings to develop to the rank of angels (*), or if it was just a cook’s experiment. Either way, we’re cooking! (I say this optimistically.)
(*) I figure we are about 1/5 to 1/4 the way there.

What’s with Ukraine? If I were Zelensky, I would send 10,000 drones in one wave directly at Moscow. I would bomb the Kremlin and downtown Moscow and all the wealthy neighbourhoods. Then let’s see how popular Putin’s war is with the Russians.
Alternatively, Zelensky could publicly declare that Putin is a homosexual and has a homosexual rage that he appeases with violence. every week, at every turn, he could blare out that Putin is a closet homosexual. Eventually this would bother Putin and maybe provoke him into — what?
Or, I would ask for an audience with Putin, and if granted, I’d shake hands, with a tiny, sharp implement on one of my fingers, that when I shook hands would pierce his skin and deliver a fatal poison. I might die in the process, but I would’ve saved my country from one of the most evil people in the world.

At one point a month or two ago, I declared it would be a “long, slow grind down,” and more recently mentioned the economy might falter going forward. The U.S. has just reported (June 26) that their economy shrank 0.5 % in the first three months of 2025. If inflation continues and economic activity continues to shrink, we would have stagflation as we did in the early 1980s. However, with restrictive Saturn now holding hands with inflationary Neptune, I think inflation will be much flatter over the two years ahead than expectations.
But there is sunshine: The US, and by influence others, should have a fortunate year this June through next. There are only two clouds in the sky: one now through August, and again mid-February through June ’26. I would not start a business, or any practical enterprise, during these two “clouds.”
Each time, two clouds, though they might seem one, act together. One, Saturn, is there for two and a half years — means a partner or competitor is restricting the US’s luck, not co-operating, challenging, whatever — BUT is “gone” (in another sign) from Sept. to mid-February — a time when the US should really assert itself — Canada too.
That’s the first “cloud.” The second is Neptune — the USA’s “best behaviour” planet — now in the nation’s judgment and ambition zone for 14 years. In this 14 years, American judges will become more and more erratic, and some will — I kid you not — claim psychic powers/talents. At the very least, many will tend toward intuition in judging. The nation will truly reach for the stars. This will begin and continue as a military exercise. So will ambitions focused on oceans. Fishers will be held in more esteem, don’t ask me why. A new, carnivorous ocean dweller will be discovered.
To continue the luck theme, July 2026 to July 2027 will be one of prosperity for the U.S.A. The very things that “slowed” the nation in the prior year, now offer support, aid progress.

Thanks to P.C. for sending me Iran’s chart (based on the 1979 take-over). Iran has a Sagittarius Sun and a Gemini Moon. This itself is confrontational (and indicates a chasm between women and men). But in addition, Iran’s Mars (war, violence, aggression) is conjunct (joined with) Jupiter, Iran’s ruling planet, and a planet of religion, politics, and “I’m always right.” This is a perfect set-up for a religious government (Jupiter) allied closely with a military enforcer (Mars and the GRC). Jupiter here is arrogant and adventurous — and expansion oriented. Mars is Jupiter’s planet of love and pleasure, so Iran, in its proxies, has been having secret love affairs with bombs and IEDs (things of pleasure for Iran). Since this Mars/Jupiter is in Iran’s sign of career and ambition — well, you can guess the result.
This Mars and Jupiter are square the Moon (quick temper, anger) and the Sun — this nation was made for war, will constantly, almost involuntarily, wage war (it can’t help it, because Mars/Jupiter dominates Iran’s Sun). The only way to stop this is regime change. This might be hard, as in this nation, in this regime, men and women are pitted against each other, so co-operation is slim.
In addition, the GRC will violently move to crush any uprising. A couple of years ago I wrote that Israel should, if it invades Iran, FIRST destroy the gov’t palace and bomb the GRC barracks to smithereens, then go after the nuclear sites. As long as some nut religious leader and a fanatically religious army survive, the people of Iran won’t have a chance to rise up and cause regime change. Like Abraham, these religious nuts would rather kill their own “children” (citizens) than let them taste democracy or any other system.
(I know I’ll get emails, especially from S.P. and others, claiming I’m a hateful, evil soul for criticizing Iran. For instance, how can I possibly say Iranian men hate women? Easy — anyone who demands that women wear hot cloths to hide their hair and face and body, and will kill any woman who dares to show her hair in public, hates women. I don’t mean individual men hate women, but that men as a group control this country and keep the women enslaved. This is a sick country, made that way by priests and Imams. Political correctness (as practised, for example, by the American Democratic Party) is a vehicle of power and oppression. It is the little brother of rule by religion, which is even more toxic; it leads to fanatical priests/imams imposing power and oppression.)
