“August, which is ruled by Leo, is the month of the Dog-star, or of Sirius, which brings Sirius into close relationship to Leo. Leo is ruled by Sirius … the home of that greater Lodge to which our fifth initiation admits a person and to which it brings them, as a humble disciple.

Later .. we shall find that the major, monthly festival in August, held at the time of the full moon, will be dedicated to the task of making contact, via the Hierarchy, with Sirian force. Each of the months of the year will later be dedicated (through accurate astrological and astronomical knowledge), to whichver constellation in the heavens governs the particular month, the Sirius governs Leo.”1

Sirius: Source of Love-Wisdom
Sirius is the source of the blue Love-Wisdom energy, the very fabric of our solar system. Our Sun (or Solar Logos, “Sun”), is the progeny or incarnation of that stupendous life we call Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky.

The colour of the Love-Wisdom ray has been given as dark indigo blue or “midnight blue”, contrasting with this brightest star, symbolic of humanity groping its way through obscuration, back to its divine source.

Sirius is a beacon of hope and accomplishment for those who will eventually liberate themselves from Earth and choose a way that leads beyond this solar system – this is the “Fourth Path” or the “Sirian Path”. The old saying that “we are stardust” is scientifically and esoterically true – inhabitants of this solar system are literally composed of “Sirian substance”.

Part of the mystery of incarnation and the “why are we here” answers lay in this field. The Sirian force that casts its influence over our tiny, “unimportant planet” (as one of the Masters described it!), redeems and makes sacred this Earth sphere; this is achieved courtesy of billions of human souls incarnating over countless aeons, eventually finding perfection and a joyous flowering.

From spirit into densest matter and returning to spirit again, each soul contributes its part; individual redemption contributes to planetary redemption. As each soul-cell achieves release, its “perfume” lingers within the aura of the Earth, contributing to the evolutionary plan.

In our current (unprecedented) cycle, this rhythm is accelerating through greater numbers of humanity preparing themselves as candidates for initiation – linking the higher guiding divinity with the inner germinating seed.

As the twelve zodiacal petals of the heart lotus open – over many lifetimes of pleasure and pain, sorrow and joy, attachment and detachment – finally the revelation of the Jewel within the Lotus is all that remains.

“The Path to Sirius: The bulk of liberated humanity goes this way, and the prospect holds out glorious possibilities … in the secret of the sun Sirius, are hidden the facts of our cosmic evolution, and incidentally, therefore, of our solar system.”2

Sirius, Leo and the Birth of Human Consciousness
As the “science of all sciences”, Esoteric Astrology necessarily embraces the vast sweep of time cycles and history, particularly the event of human Individualisation during ancient Lemurian times, 21,000,000 years ago.

At that time, the Sun was precessing on its 2,160 year-cycle through Leo, an appropriate sign for Humanity to receive the “spark of mind”, as solar-infused Leo is about true self-consciousness.

The esoteric teachings inform us that this spark of mind was “implanted” in Humanity by a massive and deliberate electrical stimulation that had its source on Sirius, coming via Venus.

Sirius is the higher self to our solar system as a whole, just as Venus plays the same role to its “sister planet” Earth. The cyclic and karmic opportunity had arrived where it was the turn of our tiny planet to receive this impulse:

“Only one Being (from Sirius) has visited our system and that was at the time of individualisation … The effect of such a visit as that of the Avatar from Sirius is seen as the sum total of civilisation and culture, viewing these from the standpoint of the entire system and in one flash of time.”3

An extraordinary statement! A Cosmic Avatar such as the one from Sirius is,

“… as far removed from the consciousness of Man, as man is from the consciousness of the atom of substance. Thousands of those great cycles which we call “a hundred years of Brahma” have passed since They approximated the human stage, and They embody force and consciousness which is concerned with the intelligent co-ordination of the starry Heavens.”4

Another staggering passage to reflect upon! Penetrating to an understanding of these themes can only be achieved through a disciplined study of the ageless wisdom, combined with the reflective processes of right meditation.

As the Mystery Schools re-emerge in this Aquarian cycle, clarification of these enigmas will be granted to those who have fitted themselves for the task.

The Science of Initiation (one of the sub-sciences of Esoteric Astrology), is an evolutionary tool that achieves a more rapid expansion of human consciousness than would otherwise be the case – if we were left to our own devices to wander somewhat circuitously back to the source. The occult wisdom informs us that embarking upon the path of initiation is a choice made by every human soul, based upon their own free will and accord.

It was far back in Lemurian times that the planetary centre known as Shamballa was established, as well as those guides of the race known as the Hierarchy – who instituted the first (very primitive) mystery schools and received candidates for initiation. Indeed, Sanat Kumara as the “King of Shamballa”, is the ultimate Lion – here on this planet. On a higher turn of the spiral, our Solar Logos (Sol) aspires to be a “Lion of Cosmic Will” – in the likeness of his greater Sirian counterpart.

The Great White Lodge on Sirius supervises our Hierarchy here on Earth; our Hierarchy is under the “spiritual magnetic control” of Sirius. The various Lords of Karma in our solar system (Saturn is one), are under the rule of a greater Law of Karma on Sirius. There is in fact a triangle of relationship between these three entities.

The Hierarchy: Heart of the Sun
Note “heart of the Sun”, esoterically known as Neptune, Leo’s soul ruler – more on this later. Sirius is known as the “great star of initiation” and is called the “brilliant star of sensitivity”, a theme shared with Leo:

“I am reiterating the necessity to recognise the stimulation of consciousness as the objective of all the astrological influences because the outstanding theme of Leo is the activity of the self-conscious unit in relation to its environment or the development of sensitive response to surrounding impacts by the one who stands – as the Sun stands – at the centre of its little universe. The whole story and function of Leo and its influences can be summed up in the word “sensitivity”…

… I want you to have this innate spiritual sensitivity and this outer material sensitivity most carefully in mind if you want truly to understand the influences of Leo upon human beings and especially upon the person born in this sign or who has this sign rising …”5

Sirius and Number 4
The current revolution in technology is accelerating a global awareness of the inter-connectedness of all traditions, dissolving boundaries and separation, whilst at the same time over-emphasising the differences, bringing the warring pairs of opposites into potent play.

Here is the fourth ray of Harmony through Conflict at work (also the ray of beauty and art); it is the ray that governs humanity and is coming “slowly” into incarnation in 2025; it has a correspondence to the buddhic consciousness of a liberated human soul and it also corresponds to the fourth Sirian Path:

“…the Sun, Sirius, is closely related to our planetary Life … [there is a] particular relationship of this fourth Path to humanity, the fourth kingdom … a relationship of very ancient date between our Lord of the World, Sanat Kumara, and the Lord of Sirius …

… Our planet, on the inner planes and subjectively considered, is a sacred planet; the effects of this transition from non-sacred to sacred have not fully demonstrated themselves objectively … The majority of liberated humanity, and therefore a large number of the initiates who have to make decision, choose this way [The Sirian Path] to the cosmic centre.”6

The importance of the number 4 in relation to the fourth ray and the fourth Sirian path, has several correspondences, making this period of history one of momentous and unique synchronisation:

“1. Fourth Creative Hierarchy The human. 2. Fourth scheme Our earth scheme. 3. Fourth chain The earth chain. 4. Fourth globe Our planet. 5. Fourth kingdom The human – ruled by the fourth ray. 6. Fourth round – the first strictly human round. 7. Four Kumaras Embodiers of humanity. 8. Fourth plane Buddhic, the human goal – leading to Sirian Path. 9. Fourth ether Physical correspondence of the buddhic plane.”7

Leo and the Star Regulus
“The influences of Sirius, three in number, are focussed in Regulus … a star of the first magnitude and which is frequently called “the heart of the Lion.”8

Note the phrase “three in number” referring to the influences of Sirius, alluding to a triple system of stars. The ancient Dogon tribe in Mali, Africa, believed in the existence of a Sirian triple system, including the white dwarf star Sirius B (invisible to the naked eye), well before its discovery by telescope in 1862.

Sirius and the Egyptian Tradition
It has been established that the Egyptian goddess Isis represents Sirius A, the brightest star. Sometimes her male consort Osiris is assigned as Sirius B, whilst their “son” Horus as Sirius C. This Egyptian triplicity reflects all traditions of the Christian mother, father, son; the Hindu Brahma, Shiva and Vishnu etc.

Isis is also connected with Virgo, the signs Leo-Virgo creating the Mystery of the Sphinx. (See essay.) The annual reappearance of Sirius heralded the flooding of the Nile and the bounty of crops that could be harvested – hence Virgo, the sheaf of wheat. In The Egyptian Book of the Dead, Isis proclaims herself as Sirius:

“I am the Queen of these regions … I was the first to reveal to mortals the mysteries of wheat and corn. I am she who rises in the constellation of the dog … (Dog-star) Rejoice, O Egypt! thou who wert my nurse.”9

Isis and Osiris also represent the constellations of Sirius and Orion respectively; two shafts of the Great Pyramid at Giza are aligned precisely to them: The King’s Chamber shaft to Orion and the Queen’s Chamber shaft to Sirius. In that far-off era, at astrologically propitious times, the priest-astrologer-astronomers would invoke through solemn ritual and sacred mantras, the energies of these guiding constellations.

The Great Pyramid is well known as an electro-magnetic receiver-transmitter, due to its design and construction with crystalline granite materials; hence guiding spirit is brought into matter.

The pyramids at Giza are like major acupuncture points that serve (or served) for the inflow of energies from those constellations. Also, according to Robert Bauval, the three pyramids at Giza were perfectly designed to reflect Orion’s Belt – as above, so below:

” … we have demonstrated with a substantial body of evidence that the pattern of stars that is “frozen” on the ground at Giza in the form of the three pyramids and the Sphinx represents the disposition of the constellations of Orion and Leo as they looked at the moment of sunrise on the spring equinox during the astronomical “Age of Leo” (i.e., the epoch in which the Sun was “housed” by Leo on the spring equinox.) Like all precessional ages this was a 2,160-year period.”10

The Eye of Horus is a profound symbol, and represents many, many things. As the right eye it represents the Sun (Ra), as the reversed left eye, Mercury (Horus). Esoterically Mercury and the Sun are one, hence the Eye of Horus is the “lens” through which the Sirian Logos “peers” into our solar system. Therefore Mercury (also Thoth) has a close association with Sun-ruled Leo – as described in the next section.

Leo, Mercury, Sirius and the “Eighth Gate”.
Students of the Wiz-dom may have seen references on social media to catchy phrases such as “8/8 Lion’s Gate” and similar, regarding Leo and Sirius. There is some truth in this but it is a little distorted. Here follow a few passages from Esoteric Astrology, from which one of these Lion’s gate passages may have been derived – and which take us back to the very origin of human consciousness evolution.

“Leo, being the fifth sign of the zodiac, counting from Aries via Taurus, and also the eighth sign, counting from Aries via Pisces, is closely connected through numerical affinity with Mercury, who is esoterically called “the Messenger at the eighth gate”.

Mercury was active at the time of individualisation when the “eighth gate” was opened and a major initiation of our planetary Logos took place, producing, in the human kingdom, the process of individualisation.”11

As discussed in The Hidden History of Humanity I, Individualisation and Humanity’s subsequent evolution of consciousness, began in the middle of the Third Rootrace – or Lemuria, 21.6 million years ago. The Leo zodiac “gate” was hitherto closed,

“In Lemurian days, during the early period of animal man and before humanity appeared on earth, in the interim period of development, eight signs influenced the planet and the kingdoms of nature found upon it. There was no response to the influences of Leo and Virgo. The mystery of the Sphinx did not exist and these two signs were not then part of the zodiacal wheel.

Then individualisation took place and the seed of Christhood was planted in man and these two signs began to influence humanity, and gradually that influence was recognised and the zodiac was then known to have ten signs.”12

There are a few points to make from these two passages:

1. Leo was the 8^th sign in ancient times – counting backward from Aries.

2. The zodiac signs are actually groupings of angelic beings (or “creative hierarchies”) who work with human evolution. The 8 zodiac“gates” open at that time were: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius and Capricorn.

3. The Sun is the ruler of Leo – the Sun and Mercury are often referred to in Esoteric Astrology as being “one”, due to Mercury’s close proximity to the Sun – a messenger for the solar logos.

4. Mercury is the hierarchical ruler of Scorpio – the “8^th gate” on the Aries to Pisces wheel – and “5^th gate” on the Aries via Pisces wheel.

5. Leo and Scorpio are two signs of the fixed cross, the cross of discipleship and initiation – they are two of seven signs that are conduits for bringing through Sirian forces.

“Scorpio is under the influence or inflowing energy of Sirius. This is the great star of initiation because our Hierarchy (an expression of the second aspect of divinity) is under the supervision or spiritual magnetic control of the Hierarchy of Sirius. These are the major controlling influences whereby the cosmic Christ works upon the Christ principle in the solar system, in the planet, in man and in the lower forms of life expression.

It is esoterically called the “brilliant star of sensitivity.” For the first time in the history of both mankind and disciples the energy of Sirius, pouring into the seven groups which form our planetary Hierarchy evokes a response.”13

6. “August, which is ruled by Leo, is the month of the Dog-star, or of Sirius, which thus brings Sirius into close relation to Leo. Leo, in the cosmic sense (and apart from our solar system altogether) is ruled by Sirius.”14

August represents the heliacal rising (with the Sun) of Sirius after its reappearance from the “underworld”. Depending on the longitude, this occurs anywhere from July 23 to August 10. In Cairo, home of the Leo-Virgo sphinx, the heliacal rising of Sirius is August 4-6. Hence some writers have honed in on August 8^th, inventing a kind of mantric poetic potency with the number 888.

7. 888 is said to be the number of the Christ – a true Mercurial Messenger. Three x 8 = 24 – the number of Shamballa, the “centre where the will of god is known” on this planet. 888 is said to “hold the hidden mystery of two planets” in this solar system – Venus and Mercury come to mind. More on them in point #9.

8. “When individualisation took place … the fourth kingdom in nature appeared … that stupendous event [was] 21,688,345 years ago.

At that time the Sun was in Leo. The process then initiated upon the physical plane and producing outer physical events took approximately 5,000 years to mature and the Sun was in Gemini when the final crisis of individualisation took place and the door was then closed upon the animal kingdom.”15

“When individualisation took place and the “Lions, the divine and tawny orange Flames” came into being and thus humanity arrived upon the planet.”16

9. “It was the activity of Venus—under the influence of Gemini—which produced the great crisis of the individualisation when the two kingdoms “approached” each other. Venus, Mercury and the Earth then set up a magnetic field which made the intervention of the Great Lodge on Sirius and the dual stimulation of Gemini effective in producing significant results of which the fourth kingdom in nature is the expression.”17

Humanity today has moved from Individualisation in Lemuria to Initiation in this Fifth Rootrace. Much more information can be found on these themes in the author’s soon to be re-released book, The Hidden History of Humanity I: Mysteries of the Rootraces and Cycles – and documentary of the same name (2hrs. 37’.)

Leo New Moon 2025
The new moon in Leo ( July 26) saw an extraordinary, exact opposition between Pluto and the Sun-Moon, offset by an “easy opposition” from Uranus in Gemini. For all of those who feel powerless in this current world situation, here was an opportunity to invoke the power of Pluto and the confidence and courage of Leo – to serve the greater good, symbolised by polar-opposite Aquarius.

Aquarius ruler Uranus in Gemini, was trine-sextile to this opposition aspect, lending the power of innovation and invention to effect revolution and reform. The potency of this new moon may also further exaggerate abuses of power by various world leaders – in terms of lower-Leo traits of personal pride, the dictator, tyrant and bully. Yet, through being brought to their knees, the antidote of humility may be stimulated in some.

Leo is a sign of great passion and drama, an emotional factor which matches Leo’s mental strength. Esoterically, Leo rules the astral permanent atom which contains emotional experiences from all incarnations – and Leo is ruled esoterically by Neptune, the ruler of the watery body:

“Leo—is connected with the astral permanent atom, for the reason that desire or the power to go forth and occultly touch that which is desired is the basis of all sense of awareness or responsiveness and the underlying cause of progress or evolutionary movement forward; it is the keynote of the man who has achieved that true “self-centred” attitude which makes him an individual.

Later, as responsiveness grows and the world of small affairs is converted into the world of ever larger values and reality, the desires change into aspiration and finally into spiritual will, purpose and intent.”18

This astral factor relates to several leves{ From the out-of-control rampaging lion of the jungle, to the impassioned orator or the actor at centre stage.

Given the evolutionary goal of humanity to raise energy from the solar plexus to the heart, there is Leo the Lionheart – the one who has tamed the lion of self-will, hence qualified to be the benevolent and courageous leader of others; who stands in power as the ruler, but also kneels, asking how can I serve my kingdom?

When evaluating several groups of students that he had formed in the middle of last century, The Tibetan pulled no punches when he discussed the theme of courage:

“The significant spiritual effects of the war [WWII] can now be clearly seen, and I can begin to consider with you (earlier than I had anticipated) some of the problems with which you—as potential servers of the race and pledged disciples—can now deal.

I could wish, as far as the immediate present is concerned, that you were all younger and had availed yourselves more definitely of the teaching I have sought to give you these past years. Above everything else, I wish you were more courageous.

Does that word surprise you, my brothers? In considering this year as a whole, I question not your devotion or your steadfastness; I have confidence in the depth of your aspiration and your desire for the will-to-good; I know that naught will turn you for any length of time from the pursuit of your goal.

I do, however, question your courage. It takes courage to make spiritual decisions and to abide by them; it takes courage to adjust your lives—daily and in all relations—to the need of the hour and to the service of mankind; it takes courage to demonstrate to those around you that the present world catastrophe is of more importance to you than the petty affairs of your individual lives and your humdrum contacts …

… it takes courage to discard the alibis which have prevented you from participating to date in the all-out effort which characterises today the activities of the Hierarchy; it takes courage to make sacrifices, to refuse time to nonessential activities and to deal with the physical body as if it were free from all impediments…

… it takes courage to ignore frailties which may be present, the tiredness incident to a long life, the physical tendencies which handicap and limit your service, the sleeplessness which comes from world pressures or from a badly regulated life programme, and the nervousness and strain which are the common lot today; it takes courage to attack life on behalf of others, and to obliterate your own wishes in the emergency and need.

… My brothers, let me repeat: The disciple has to take himself as he is at any given time, with any given equipment, and under any given circumstances; then he proceeds to subordinate himself, his affairs and his time to the need of the hour, particularly during a phase of group, national or world crisis.

When he does this within his own consciousness, and is therefore thinking along lines of the true values, he will discover that his own private affairs are taken care of, his capacities are increased and his limitations are forgotten.”19

The Soul of London: Leo the King and Tyrant
With the age of the Kali Yuga in its full flush, the world is witnessing the decline of many Western nations – once vast colonial powers, now seeing their power ebbing away. Consequently, under various weak leaders – those nations have been vainly trying to assert their now-spent-authority, in meaningless edicts and by passing draconian laws.

In Britain’s case, London is a Leo soul – representing “Rule Britannia” – over the vast British Empire of yesteryear. Whereas there may have been some generous or kind Leonine rulership via the monarchy, or from Britain as a political pioneer of democracy, those days have long gone.

Instead, we are now seeing the horrifying spectacle of lower Leo at work – tryannical and dictatorial, passing laws to make it illegal to peacefully protest the Gaza genocide. The Palestine Action group was classified as terrorists – what? This kind of thinking started to become more evident in 2020, when people walking their dogs on the moors were being arrested during lockdown.

Furthermore, alongside the USA, France, Germany and the EU leadership – at the time of writing, Britain has not outrightly and officially condemned the genocide – regardless of many MP’s criticising Israel in parliament. But in recent days, during Trump’s trip, Britain is finally acknowledging the cruel starvation and slaughter at food distribution points in Gaza. Its so obvious now, on mainstream media – it simply cannot be ignored. Only recently, almost grudgingly,

“Starmer told his ministers that, because of the catastrophic situation on the ground in Gaza and the diminishing prospect of reaching a two-state solution, now was the right time to finally move.” (UK to recognise state of Palestine in September unless Israel holds to a ceasefire.)

But where was Britain, France, Germany and the USA – in the past two years leading up to this major tragedy? They all could have moved much sooner, but chose to stay under the yoke of Zionist propaganda.

France will now officially recognize the state of Palestine, “true to its historic commitment to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East … making a “solemn announcement at the United Nations General Assembly in September,” said President Macron. The G7 nations now appear to be all on the same page in this regard, but how disingenuous their motives are, remains unclear at this stage.

Now, even if food does come in (Trump says he is going to make sure it will), thousands will need special care getting back to reasonable health. Permanent damage has been done physically, not to mention the emotional trauma and mental agony to which children and parents have been subjected for two years. And the razing of Gaza to the ground, flattened. Unofficial estimates of over half a million killed.

The world has watched in horror and disbelief that such a crime was allowed to happen, under the guise of “fighting Hamas” and with the support of roughly 75% of the Israeli population. Yet, massive demonstrations all over the world have taken place, as an outraged Humanity has voiced its anger. This is a virtually unprecedented planetary event that augurs well for the future upholding of human values and compassion.

The British government suspended some arms export licences to Israel, saying the weapons could be used to commit violations of international humanitarian law. This was good for political optics but critics say did not go far enough because it exempts crucial F-35 fighter jet parts. Here is the classic lower expression of Britain’s Gemini soul – sleight of hand, well versed in the art of double-speak. As noted a century ago, regularly quoted in these missives and reiterated,

“It is the Gemini influence which has produced — viewing the work of the nation from the personality or lower angle — the secret and oft devious diplomacy and subtlety which has in the past distinguished Great Britain’s political activity.

Gemini people are often distrusted, and the Gemini effect along this line makes of Great Britain no exception. Such distrust has been warranted in the past but is not as justifiable now, for the nation is old and experienced and is fast learning the lessons which she has had to master. As yet, from the higher angle, Gemini does not entirely control, for the soul of Britain is only now struggling for expression.”20

Yet Britain’s “child” – the USA, a Gemini personalilty – has become far worse in its routine lying, to the point where few nations now hold any trust when it comes to treaty talks or international diplomacy. Britain and the USA: The apple does not fall far from the tree …?

But Israel outdoes both Britain and the USA by a mile – its horoscope has Mercury in Gemini trine Neptune in Libra. Mercury in its element as the trickster Gemini – master of misdirection, invoking Neptune’s lower penchant for deception and illusion. All performed with alacrity and finesse.

The “secret and oft devious diplomacy and subtlety” has its most powerful expression through Britain’s secret services – MI5 and MI6, glamourised for decades in the James Bond movies, a perfect piece of MI6 propaganda! Indeed, MI6’s motto is “Semper Occultus (“Always Secret”) – and its birth chart for July 4, 1909 has Mercury conjunct Pluto in Gemini (!) with a Sun in Cancer conjunct deceptive Neptune!

Additionally, USA’s CIA, NSA and other agencies, plus Israel’s Mossad – all work together sharing intelligence, all are run by an underlying philosophy of interference, ruthless control and sabotage. Together they employ well over 100,000 people – a veritable army that is a law unto itself.

Another part of the reason for the lower expression of Britain’s Gemini-Leo soul qualities is that it is one of the oldest nations, and hence subject to the crystallising forces of outmoded thinking and redundant laws. The first ray of Will-Power pours through Leo and unless blended with Leo the lionheart, finds its point of least resistance through domination and riding roughshod over the will of the people. (Occurring also in USA via its Leo leader.)

Now with the planet of power Pluto, transiting through Aquarius and opposing the sign Leo, we are seeing the point of least resistance in expression. However, at the same time the people (Aquarius) are rising up and saying they will not take it anymore. Millions are out on the streets around the world protesting in many major cities. And likewise in Britain, but they are being arrested for it (same in USA) – from the young to middle-aged, to very old pensioners.

They are all putting their principles on the line, willing to be dragged off by police, in defiance of the state’s edicts. Here there are the signs of the Age of Aquarius and its esoteric ruler Jupiter – the 2^nd ray of Love-Wisdom, pouring forth for thirsting Humanity. It has taken one of the worst genocides in history to unite the world as one heart, one mind and one willed-intention.

Britain, France and Germany’s New Leo Coalition

Here is the Leo triumvirate: France and Berlin are ruled by Leo at the personality level, London at the soul level:

“France … and its Leo personality can control with force to the detriment of future world understanding … Berlin is controlled by Leo from the personality angle, and there again comes out the relationship between the countries. They are both powerfully influenced by this sign of self-interest and of individuality …

… It is the Leo aspect also which links London to Berlin, but it is Leo in its more self-assertive aspect and hence some of the difficulty and hence also the close and not-to-be-evaded relationship between London-Paris-Berlin, a triangle of force which conditions Europe most potently.

It is between these three that the destiny of the race of men in the immediate future lies, and again the question arises: Will the coming decisions be based upon the good of the whole or upon the good of a part of the whole?”21

It appears more “the good of a part of the whole” at this juncture in history! Recently, German chancellor Merz called for a strategic axis between London, Paris and Berlin – to “tackle illegal migration and deepen defence cooperation”. This is the first formal pact between the UK and Germany since WWII:

“The agreement, signed at the V&A Museum and followed by a meeting at Downing Street, sets out plans for closer cooperation on migration, defence, trade and education, including a framework for school exchanges:

• A mutual assistance clause on national security, including shared recognition that Russia poses “the most significant and direct threat” to both countries.
• Joint procurement and development of defence technologies including Typhoon jets, Boxer vehicles and long-range missiles.
• A joint rail taskforce to explore infrastructure links, including a future London–Berlin train line.
• Commitments to boost school exchange programmes and cultural ties.”22

This coalition was set up mainly to accommodate the first point above – Russia as a “direct threat”. This posturing, projected toward a conjured-up enemy, reminds one of a chihuahua barking at a Russian bear. Or as Shakespeare would have it, “a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”

Russia is a Leo personality (Aquarian soul) and has a fierce national pride that stands resolute in maintaining its sovereignty. In comparison, the other Leo nations seem like hoarsely-roaring poseurs.

These leaders of Britain, France and Germany – Starmer, Merz, Macron – (Starmerzcron?) – have significant Leo or first ray emphases in their horoscopes: Starmer – Sun-Pluto in Virgo and north node in Leo. Macron – Mars in Leo. Merz – Uranus, Pluto and Jupiter in Leo, the latter two  conjunct the fixed star Regulus, having close synastry with Trump’s Leo ascendant.

Other players include Ursula Von der Leyen – head of the EU, with a Moon-Uranus conjunction  in Leo. Similarly, dedicated Zionist Zelensky has Mars, Earth, Moon and Saturn in Leo – similar to Israel’s horoscope.

One of the key factors of this fifth sign Leo – which it has in common with our Fifth Rootrace as a whole, is the glamour of privilege and entitlement. One could say, that along with selfishness and narcissism, these traits exemplify some of the major expressions of the global dweller on the threshold.

Leo Rising Trump and the USA
Disclaimer To avoid any misunderstandings, let the reader be reminded that the author does not have a political affiliation or bias with Democrats or Republicans, or for that matter – any parties in any nation. Events are reported and analysed in the light that astrology can throw upon the psychology of nations – and individuals who lead them.
——————————
Millions who voted for the pre-election promises of Trump – say they have been let down. Several months into his presidency, some good initiatives began, but Trump has broken several promises and made some errnt decisions on a number of issues. The primary one would be that he promised to be a “president of peace” – on Ukraine and the Middle East.

Having just approved a new shipment of weapons to Ukraine on July 14 (now paused) – ironically on Bastille Day, Trump stated that it was “good for business” and signalled his growing dissatisfaction with Putin. Unless there is some cagey “long game” that Trump is playing – which everyone is missing, it appears that its a case of “meet the new boss, same as the old boss”: Deep state simply changed its personnel:

“Trump’s superficial “lamentations” about the number of casualties are further revealed to be nothing but a cheap PR strategy as he fully exposes himself as yet another Washington DC “Swamp’s” war profiteer. The US/NATO’s insatiable hunger for unchecked expansion and an endless supply of (neo) colonies continues to devour the lives of millions around the globe, with the unfortunate Ukrainian people being at the forefront of this monstrous agenda.

The American-led so-called “defensive alliance” keeps leaving oceans of blood, death and destruction in its wake, as evidenced by the trail of shattered states across all inhabited continents. All this is done under the hollow pretext of “deterring aggression” by Russia, China, North Korea, etc.

In other words, every single sovereign country on the planet is a “legitimate target” for the US/NATO war machine in its rapacious expansionism that keeps swallowing entire nations into its orbit, almost like a black hole consuming stars and leaving behind nothing but the irradiated ruins of what used to be sovereignty.

The puppet masters in Washington DC, Brussels and London, clad in the tattered robes of “freedom and democracy”, demand unequivocal fealty from European vassals and satellite states that are expected to obediently parrot the mantra of “the looming Russian threat”. Meanwhile, their own economies crumble under the weight of militarized hysteria and Trump’s economic warfare that openly aims to weaken and enslave them.”23

Trump’s fickle Gemini personality changes its mind every other hour, day or week depending upon the influences of those around him – or his own capricious whims. He probably did not realise how much the deep state was in control – that “swamp” which he had vowed to clean up. Or was he a willing participant from the get-go, giving a misleading sales pitch to a gullible part of his electorate, desperate for change from the previous administration?

Trump’s hitherto MAGA supporters are now labelling him a “swamp creature”. Hence, his original claim of ending the Ukraine conflict with “one phone call, overnight” – has evaporated.

But even worse – and the most egregious, is Trump’s financially compromised devotion to Israel – and its genocide of the Palestinians. What else would his supporters have thought, when Trump has not only voiced a long-standing support for Israel, but made a slew of Zionist-Israel appointees/fanatics to his cabinet, many of whom occupy top positions?

Marco Rubio Secretary of State. Called for allowing Israel to do what’s needed to defeat Hamas. Has extreme religious views on Israel’s right to inhabit the “promised land”.

Pam Bondi Attorney General. Israel is “one of our, if not our greatest ally in the world”. Doing a 180° turn on the Epstein files reflects influence from those who lurk in the shadows and probably Trump himself.

Pete Hegseth Secretary of Defense. Ex-Fox News host who provided favorable coverage of Israel – expressed support for Israel and ran a series titled “Battle in the Holy Land: Israel at War.”

Mike Waltz National Security Adviser. Former Green Beret with a staunchly pro-Israel record. Recommended that Israel strike Kharg Island and its nuclear facilities at Natanz.

Elise Stefanik U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. Called for cutting off aid to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine (UNRWA). Gained popularity among conservative Jews for challenging university presidents on campus antisemitism.

Mike Huckabee Ambassador to Israel. Baptist minister, evangelical fanatic. Denied existence of Palestinians, supports annexation of occupied West Bank. “Hamas is the cause of the prolonged war. They are evil … the cause of prolonged suffering. ”

Steve Witkoff  Special Envoy for the Middle East Brings a real-estate negotiating approach valued by Trump. Served as backchannel to Jewish business community.

Asked recently about Gaza, Trump gave a tepid response, not exactly damning the situation:

“Donald Trump has said he believes there is a famine in Gaza and he has told Israel that “maybe they have to do it in a different way” … [maybe?] … people in Gaza needed “to get food and safety right now” and that he wanted to get ceasefire talks restarted.

Asked if he agreed with the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, who said that there was no starvation in Gaza, Trump replied: “I don’t know. Based on television, I would say not particularly, because those children look very hungry. We’re giving a lot of money and a lot of food and other nations are now stepping up.”24

Since then Trump further acknowledged that there was starvation in Gaza, saying “we must get them food”. Trump’s recent erratic behaviour and some public gaffes, might be reflected by transiting Uranus square his Leo ascendant.

Uranus’ recent “whole sign” entry into Gemini – triggered Trump’s sun sign conjunct natal Uranus in Gemini. Unpredictable Uranus is throwing a spanner in the works – globally, some react chaotically. Others in a more orderly fashion – after all, Uranus rules the 7th ray of Ceremonial Magic and Organisation.

But Trump’s natal Sun-Uranus in Gemini is The Disruptor, and this has been primarily his role on the world stage, shaking up the world order, “throwing curve balls from left field”, playing the Trickster, being contrary, fickle etc.

This Uranus transit may have bought out the worst of Leo the king, tyrant and dictator – puffed-up with pride. Trump is his own worst enemy, by adopting an aggressive stance with many nations on various issues. President Lula of Brazil voiced concerns of the international community by saying, “we don’t want an emperor”.

Trump is now making many autocratic decisions with one decree after another, virtually bypassing Congress. There are opinions through the whole political spectrum – this one opines, It’s Official: Donald Trump Is a Raging Megalomaniac: The 47th president is a clear and present danger to the U.S. and the world.

Trump’s Uranus transit lasts until April 2026 and represents a danger period for him, the nation and the world. Some say that his recent reaction to Russia’s Medvedev’s provocations could have been more restrained. Medvedev (Sun-Pluto in Virgo, Mars in Scorpio) – was however, responding to US/NATO’s continuous provocations of supporting Ukraine and fighting Russia. Russia will now get on with the war on their own terms as they have become entirely exasperated in playing any more games with Trump, the USA or NATO:

“Medvedev said that Trump should picture the apocalyptic television series “The Walking Dead,” and referred to the Soviet capacity for launching automatic nuclear strikes. The US president responded Friday by ordering two nuclear submarines to move to “the appropriate regions.” The skirmish comes after Trump set a new deadline for Putin to bring the war in Ukraine to an end, threatening US sanctions if a ceasefire was not agreed upon – an ultimatum that the Kremlin is unlikely to heed.”25

Rachel Blevins on Trump vs Medvedev

The US is acting like a teenage bully to the world, led by several arrogant loud-mouths in its administration, the very worst expression of USA’s Gemini personality.

A dangerous collision course has been set upon which is endangering the whole planet, through USA’s relentless Neocon-driven desire to control everything. Here is national meglomania.

Aquarian soul – USA’s dharma, is to be a world leader into an Aquarian Age of sharing and the fair distribution of resources. But instead, is way off course – seeking to corner the market and exploit other nations.

At this point in its maturation process, it appears the foxes have taken over the henhouse, many would say that this has been the  case for decades now. One might well ask, who is Trump is taking his orders from? Is he a puppet of the deep state that he vowed to overcome – and/or an amanuensis for Netanyahu-Mossad?

The Jeffrey Epstein Scandal
Disclaimer: Again to be noted, the following is not a personal or political attack, it is simply an examination of facts in the public domain, combined with astrological analysis. Readers can reach their own conclusions.
————————-
There has long been emerging evidence that Israel’s spy agency, Mossad – ran a “honey-trap” operation through Epstein, compromising many prominent people in business and politics. Hence, there are several things unfolding in this present chapter of the Epstein saga.

One is that Mossad may be covering-up some sexual scandals on Trump’s behalf, to keep their loyal long-time Israel supporter in office. And/or, Mossad is trying to protect itself from revealing its deep influence/interference in American politics, along with Zionist organisations like AIPAC.

Trump has had a long association with Epstein, and despite trying to distance himself, there are many incriminating videos (a short list below) – about his obvious or alleged sexual impropriety, plus many careless remarks he has naively made in public.

Bear in mind that Trump’s past behaviours are the visible tip of the iceberg. There is a widespread global culture of rich elitists who act with impunity; who consider themselves above the law, indulging in depravities which include child sex abuse and pornography, trafficking of children and adults, money laundering etc.

Annual statistics for missing children in the USA are about 460,000 children – with a 97% recovery rate – which leaves 13,800 unaccounted – each year. Trump made a pre-election pledge to clean it all up, which may well have been a genuine.

“The FBI says sex trafficking is the fastest-growing business of organized crime and it’s the third-largest criminal enterprise in the world. The second highest number of cases in the nation is right here in Texas.”26

Understandably most people prefer to look away from such an unsavoury topic, or are incredulous that it is going on in a “civilised society”. But when there is revealed long lists of people charged with involvement in these crimes, there is a complete cross-section of society:

Judges, lawyers, academics, police, politicians, prominent business people, the very wealthy, welfare workers, teachers, building trades, shopworkers etc.

All have been caught up in a nefarious net of curiosity, desire, indulgence and compromise. (See also, The Untouchables: The Sexual Predators Within America’s Power Elite. “Protect the Predators not the Victims”.)

“This isn’t just about Trump being in the files. It’s about the staggering number of high-ranking officials, media figures, judges, and legal enablers willing to twist themselves into knots to make sure no one ever sees what’s in those files.

It’s about the sudden walkbacks, the contradictory statements, the theatrical lawsuits, the sleight-of-hand filings. It’s about how this machine of power, not just political, but cultural, financial, and judicial, is circling the wagons around a man whose connection to Epstein is not just alleged, but documented.

The public backlash is growing, even among Trump’s own base. The same MAGA faithful who once flooded message boards with conspiracy theories about Epstein and the “client list” are now grappling with the reality that their guy may be the one holding the match over the pile of sealed documents. Elon Musk said as much. So did Sean Hannity, in his own passive-aggressive Fox News way. But the truth keeps coming.”27

Some of the alleged, incriminating evidence for Trump’s past behaviour and his close association with Epstein, dates back several decades – reiterating what is already in the public domain:

1. Trump with Epstein in 1992, like a couple of teenagers watching girls dancing. (Probably legal age.) Ghislaine Maxwell in the background.

2. The infamous “grab em by the pussy” remark.

3. That he would date his own daughter because she has a “hot body”.

4. 26 Women Accusing Trump of Assault Are Speaking Out. (Accusations of groping, kissing and rape.)

5. Renewed Lawsuit Accuses Donald Trump Of Raping An Underage Girl.

6. Report Says Trump And Epstein SHARED Residences With Underage Models.

7. Trump walking into the dressing room at Miss USA Teen Beauty pageants 2005.

8. Porn star Stormy Daniels describes her alleged affair with Donald Trump.

Given that Trump had a long association with Epstein in Florida (15 years), said that he was “a terrific guy” with whom he “had a lot of fun”, had an “above average” interest in young girls, plus accusations of rape from many women … well.

Trump’s Psychology
According to Trump’s niece – Mary Trump (a clinical psychologist):

“Analysis of her uncle stated that his personality and actions were profoundly shaped by his relationship with his father, Fred Trump Sr. – whom she describes as a “high-functioning sociopath” – characterized by emotional unavailability, cruelty, and a relentless demand for dominance.

Fred’s parenting style discouraged vulnerability, empathy, and kindness, while rewarding lying, selfishness, and cruelty.

Donald, as a young child, witnessed his father’s harsh treatment of his older brother, Fred Trump Jr. (Mary’s father), who was humiliated for not meeting Fred Sr.’s expectations.

This dynamic taught Donald that weakness was unacceptable, and he learned to emulate his father’s brashness and boldness to gain approval. Mary writes, “By limiting Donald’s access to his own feelings and rendering many of them unacceptable, Fred perverted his son’s perception of the world and damaged his ability to live in it.

… exhibiting narcissistic personality disorder, with traits of antisocial and dependent personality disorders, potentially compounded by an undiagnosed learning disability. She argues that these traits stem from Fred’s influence, which stifled Donald’s emotional development.

Fred’s “sociopathic” behavior — including emotional abuse, belittling others, and prioritizing financial success over human relationships — became a model for Donald.”28
————————————
Regarding Epstein and his island (or their Florida hijinks), Trump may something to hide – that if exposed might ruin his presidency.

Already there are overwhelming polls that say the majority of the American public want to know about the Epstein files. In this regard, it is possible that Trump may be made a sacrificial goat – a scapegoat for the sins of the many.

Trump’s Progressed Moon in Scorpio
One of Trump’s astrological “signatures” for his prurient sexcapades – is the Moon in Sagittarius, the Archer having a well-known proclivity for the “hunt”, or stalking. (At a higher level, the spiritual quest.)

Bear in mind that the Moon is esoterically the Dweller or shadow. The Moon in Sagittarius is trine to Mars in Leo – in the last Sagittarius decanate of Leo, reinforcing the “hunt” theme.

It is said in Esoteric Astrology that because the Moon is not regarding as having any spiritual emanation (only biological), that it “veils” a hidden planet – Vulcan, Uranus or Neptune.

Given that Trump’s moon is opposite Uranus, it might be fair to say that Uranus is the veiled planet.

Apart from its reputation as the planet of science and revolution, Uranus rules the sacral-sexual chakra – described regularly in these missives as “the seed of mind awaiting raising to the throat/head centres”.

In the Hindu teachings, the sacral centre has a symbol of the moon, representing the biological processes of procreation and reproduction. Hence, this Sagittarius moon opposite Uranus, is a major factor in Trump’s psyche. And Uranus rules his 7th house of relationships.

Mars in Leo tenants the “unconscious” 12^th house – Trump’s expression of a bullying arrogance, lack of humility, the drama queen, entitlement, the tyrant or dictator. Hence, regarding his Sagittarius moon at this critical juncture in Trump’s life – the progressed Moon is of major importance to consider, passing through Scorpio for the past 18 months – and for the next 12 months. It has been an extremely thorny path for Trump and will continue apace.

This 27-year cycle of the progressed Moon creates a great emotional intensity that easily defaults to all the shadow Scorpio characeristics: Hatred, desire for power, revenge, vindictiveness, jealousy, pride –the tests and trials on the right use of sex.

The progressed Moon in Scorpio is moving into an exact square with Trump’s Mars in Leo – by mid-April 2026. Also amplifying the Scorpio theme is the transit of Black Moon Lilith (BML) through Scorpio, having an impact on the whole world, not just Trump. BML is already very Scorpionic in its expression:

“Geometrically, Black Moon Lilith represents the empty focal point of the Moon’s elliptical orbital path around the Earth. As an astrological symbol, Lilith seems to show the unfolding of the ancient archetypal feminine power of creation, growth, stasis, decay and destruction.

It is connected with emotional maturity, and seems to be involved in working with turbulent feelings, jealousy and rage to a point of inner balance and harmony.

This leads to Black Moon Lilith’s gift of self-empowerment. Its dark face is revealed in volcanic eruptions of destructive anger, intense passion, emotional manipulation and disordered aggression.”29

From mid-October to mid-November 2025, transiting BLM in Scorpio will also square Trump’s natal Mars – a few months before the progressed Moon in Scorpio does same.

Hence, those last few months may be a critical period when the whole Epstein affair can no longer be hidden – and the ensuing ramifications. Scorpio digs deep, right down into Pluto’s hell-realm, bringing into the light of day all that must be revealed.

Indeed, the progressed Moon in Scorpio opposes Trump’s midheaven (public, career) and transiting Uranus in mid-February 2026, indicating a possible crisis. Then shortly afterward, progressed moon in the last degree of Scorpio squares his Leo ascendant. Here is a simplified timeline for these movements through Scorpio:

Another interesting point is that Trump’s progressed midheaven is currently making an exact conjunction to natal Pluto in Leo, co-ruler of Scorpio. (See quad wheel above.) It was this force that brought him into power, but which could just as easily unseat him – not unlike The Tower tarot card.

If Trump does fall from grace/power, then it will also considerably weaken USA’s position in the world, more recently sullied due to its unwavering support for Israel and the Gaza horrors – plus unfettered tarriff aggression toward other nations and BRICS.

Trumpstein: The Mercurial Trickster
In Epstein’s horoscope, Mercury makes a close square to Neptune in Libra, and in its lower sense, Neptune is the planet of deception, illusion and sabotage.

Hence, trickster Mercury square Neptune can be the ultimate con-man. (Note the earlier reference to Israel’s Mercury trine Neptune.) Trump also has Mercury square Neptune – from Cancer to Libra, discussed in a 2019 newsletter – a brief excerpt:

“Mercury is placed in emotional Cancer square to Neptune, the soul ruler of Cancer. Trump’s erratic actions can be attributed almost entirely to his divided and unintegrated Gemini personality, that has the Mercury-Neptune square underlying its expression.

… Mercury square Neptune can have a strange effect on your mind … you can be a master of illusion and find great ways to express your ideas. Some will excel as tricksters or magicians, some as entertainers on the stage or screen … sensitive to criticism or rejection … Mercury in Cancer has the sensitivity to be a channel for the masses (Cancer) – voicing their sense of powerlessness, but could easily be a psychic dupe (or dope) for more insidious, shadowy forces …

… master of double-speak, deception and subtle manipulation – a far cry from the supposed “tell it like it is” directness of his Sagittarius moon … As Mercury is the ruler of his Gemini Sun, this square to Neptune is the adamantine pattern that lies at the heart of his personality dysfunctionality.”30

No wonder Trump and Epstein (Trumpstein?) hung out with each other for so long – two peas from the same pod, the twins of Gemini. Or tweedledee and tweedledum of Alice in Wonderland infamy. One of Gemini’s descriptions is “the warring brothers”:

Tweedledum and Tweedledee
Agreed to have a battle;
For Tweedledum said Tweedledee
Had spoiled his nice new rattle.
Just then flew down a monstrous crow,
As black as a tar-barrel;
Which frightened both the heroes so,
They quite forgot their quarrel.^[1]

————————————————-

Indeed, a “monstrous crow, black as a tar-barrel” has descended upon the whole world in recent years, as Humanity faces the Forces of Materialism and its own Dweller on the Threshold.

The last part of this quote (“master of double-speak”) was written in 2016 when the Russiagate controversy over Trump was raging, allegedly proven to be false and an act of treason – according to a recent report by Tulsi Gabbard.

Gemini rising Hillary Clinton was alleged to be a prime instigator in the affair, she has the Sun and several planets in Scorpio, as sign whose keynote on the “ordinary wheel” is – “Let maya flourish and deception rule.”

Clinton also labelled Gabbard as a “Russian Asset” so now, ten years later the boot appears to be on the other foot!  (As a former Democrat and as a New Yorker, Trump has had a long association with the Clintons.)

Hence, another scandal may be brewing and the Trump administration is most likely hoping that it will divert attention from the Epstein issue!

Or will they come together with other issues and world events – as one mighty tidal wave that will purge the rot that has been in Washington for decades?

Jeffrey Epstein
Whether dead or alive, Epstein’s chart still “works” – his progressed moon is also in Scorpio, only about 2° ahead of Trump’s. Hence Epstein’s progressions will apply to Trump’s chart about two months before.

Capricorn rising is/was Epstein’s soul purpose. Capricorn the goat,

“Esoterically, all world Saviours and Sun Gods are born in Capricorn but also the very worst type of man—hard, materialistic, cruel, proud, selfishly ambitious and egoistic …

… When crystallisation has reached a certain degree of density and so-called “hardness,” it is easily shattered and destroyed and man, born in Capricorn, then brings about his own destruction …”.31

Epstein was born Jewish and Capricorn is the personality of the Jewish people. Epstein was said to be a Mossad agent and had many dealings with Israel and its leaders.

What are the factors that reflect Epstein’s Machiavellian manipulations of people and money – and as an alleged assett of Mossad?

The shadow of the 3^rd ray of Active-Intelligence stands out, a ray that passes through his Capricorn Ascendant – plus Chiron and Mercury – the latter extremely shrewd in business! (e.g. Capricorn Jeff Bezos.)

Epstein’s Sun is in the first degree of Aquarius – indicating his unusual and eccentric personality. Epstein’s Sun-Earth opposition T-squares Saturn in Libra, the place of its exaltation and most elevated planet in the chart, in the ninth house of foreign affairs.

Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn and is adept at magic – i.e. creating geometrical blueprints upon the mental plane that manifest as practical schemes and plans. The 7th ray of Ceremonial Magic also passes through Capricorn and can be the black or white magician, depending upon motive.

The aforementioned 3^rd ray is ruled by Saturn and is the only ray to pass through Libra – a sign connected esoterically to three major themes: The Law, Sex and Money.

Epstein was a major manipulator of money and sex, operating outside of the Law. (Libra is prominent in the planetary horoscope in this cuspal period between Pisces and Aquarius.)

As far as Epstein’s sexuality goes, his Moon in Aries ruled by Mars is the archetypal  masculine symbology of the zodiac.

Epstein was alleged to be the homosexual lover of billionaire Lesley Wexner (Virgo sun), who made his fortune from women’s sexy lingerie – Victoria’s Secret. (Their liason may have been another planned bid for compromise and bribery.)

Aries’ ruler Mars is watered down in water sign Pisces – giving it a non-confrontational nature (quite Libran in some ways) and which can also be passive-aggressive.

Mars is conjunct Venus in PIsces – a very charismatic combination which trines Uranus (ruler of the sexual/sacral chakra) in Cancer.

The Moon in Aries is approaching a T-square pattern to Uranus opposite Chiron in Capricorn. (Wexner’s Uranus conjoins Epstein’s Jupiter.)

Chiron the “wounded healer” in this position may refer to a deep emotional or physical insecurity. With Moon in Aries square to Chiron, the wound may be literally that of Mars, whose glyph symbolises is an erect penis.

One of Epstein’s victims claimed he had a “tiny penis shaped like a lemon” … another said he had a bulbous and “extremely deformed” penis that others had compared to an egg”.32

Here may well have been the source of an ultimate insecurity for a man, for which Epstein constantly had to prove himself with many sexcapades and conquests of young girls.

The Moon in Aries can be very dominating and rage-fuelled. Both Bill Gates and Steve Jobs have/had the same position and were well known for their tempers. (It eventually killed Jobs through cancer of the pancreas.)

Gates’ moon in Aries is in the same degree as Epstein’s, hence they probably saw “eye to eye” on many things. Similarly, Gates’ ascendant in Cancer is opposite Epstein’s business-oriented Mercury in Capricorn.

Jupiter is placed in Taurus, a potent position for the acquisition of property and money. Bernie Madoff (made-off with the billions!), had five placements in Taurus, representing its lowest expression of greed – the endlessly insatiable desire nature.

Jupiter’s position in Taurus may relate to Epstein’s personal sexual appetite – the fecund and rutting bull.

Furthermore, Taurus ruler Venus, is placed in Pisces conjunct aforementioned Mars, uniting the feminine-masculine, creating a suave charisma – with a dose of Neptune in Libra charm.

Jupiter in Taurus squares the south/north nodes in Leo/Aquarius, indicating his association with people in power (Leo) and the distribution of resources (Aquarius).

Indeed, Ghislaine Maxwell’s Moon in Leo falls right on Epstein’s north node, indicating a possible past life association. Like Epstein, Maxwell is also a Capricorn sun and her infamous father Robert Maxwell (media tycoon, politician and fraudster), was a major Mossad asset. The apple does not fall far from the tree!

As touched upon earlier, Capricorn is a sign of magical manifestation trhough the power of its ruler Saturn – the mind, but also the 7^th ray of Ceremonial Magic which passes through this sign.

Hence, the five-pointed star of magic can be the up-pointing one of altruisitic white magic, or the down-pointing star of selfish black magic.

We live in an age of many “returning black magicians” from Atlantean times – and Epstein is one of many who work in business, politics and technology.

Arachne is Weaving her Web
There was a spectacular formation on the Cancer-Capricorn full moon July 10. The precision, geometry and deep meaning is astonishing. The spider resembles the crab of Cancer, but in this case it is the constellation of Arachne that spans 25°23′ Taurus to 23°05′ Gemini. Venus, the esoteric ruler of Gemini – and “higher self” to our Earth, was currently passing through this sign.

“The myth of Arachne – a skilled weaver who was transformed into a spider by the goddess Minerva. Her myth serves as a cautionary tale about pride and the relationship between mortals and gods. The transformation into a spider symbolizes the enduring nature of her craft, as she continues to weave webs through her descendants.”

“The Weaver” is a symbol of the third ray of Active Intelligence – which has much in common with the third sign Gemini. The spider’s web is also a symbol of the third ray, particularly its shadow aspect relating to Machiavellian manipulation. (“What a tangled web we weave …”.)

The third ray is the prominent force in software, AI and technology. Bill Gates was once featured on the cover of Time magazine – at the centre of a spider’s web, referring of course to the World Wide Web. Hence, this latest formation may be Arachne’s cautionary tale regarding the tech oligarchs trapping Humanity in their sticky webs of data harvesting, manipulation and control. (Palantir, Google, Facebook, Oracle etc.)

“All the major institutions in society now seem to be captured by and aligned with a transnational deep state which is working on behalf of a transnational ruling class – to replace liberal democracy with a global technocracy. And thereby to subjugate the entire global population.

You cannot achieve social engineering on that scale without world war. A third world war was initiated – though undeclared in 2020, and waged by the few against the many.  They are the minsicule ruling class that can manipulate the means of production, the media and what happens in the skies. An omni war that has to be waged by stealth, a war waged over every conceivable domain of human life.”33

New Indpendent Media
Phillips-Alt-Media on Telegram

                                   

Mainstream media has a vested interest in maintaining a narrative that is determined or dictated by various interest groups and governments. The world is now witnessing the breakdown of those tradtional news sources and the emergence of thousands of independent voices who seek to report the truth.

The now burgeoning army of independent media report on the many falsehoods and biases of mainstream media, cutting through the spin, broadening the hitherto narrow spectrum that all of humanity have been subject for decades of propaganda and brainwashing.

The author finds these sources absolutely essential, when writing monthly newsletters – using astrological analysis commentaries on the global situation. There is not necessarily an endorsement of this whole list, but the author has read and watched all of these independent, free-thinkers over the years: They hold pieces of the planetary puzzle – their views are thought-provoking, relevant and truth-seeking!

One recent example of independent media that reveals the hidden stories, is this video by Global Research: The Secret Plan to Commit Genocide Against the People of Palestine. (Often “conspiracy theories” become conspiracy facts.)

Francesa Albanese: Heroine of the Hour

“Italian legal scholar and human rights expert. She was appointed United Nations Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories on 1 May 2022, becoming the first woman to hold the post, which was renewed in 2025.

She holds a law degree from the University of Pisa and an LL.M. in human rights from SOAS, University of London. Albanese is an affiliate scholar at Georgetown University and senior advisor at ARDD on forced displacement and migration.

She has been outspoken against Israel’s occupation and apartheid policies. After the invasion of Gaza, she called for an immediate ceasefire and warned of ethnic cleansing. In March 2024, she told the UN that Israel’s actions amounted to genocide.

Accused of antisemitism by critics, many human rights groups defend her work as legitimate. In June 2025, she published a report listing 48 corporations allegedly complicit in illegal displacement of Palestinians. In retaliation, the Trump administration imposed sanctions on her. Francesca Albanese is married to World Bank official Massimiliano Calì, with whom she has two children.”34

Francesa Albanese has been the heroine of the hour, standing up to bullying forces around the world, particularly the USA and Israel. Here is the face of courage, making a stand against thuggery and totalitarianism.

Albanese has the Moon conjunct Saturn in Leo – the former her passion, the latter as an authority in her field of Law. The Sun, Venus, and Mercury are in warrior-leader Aries – fast thinking and direct talking, cutting to the chase and not mincing words.

“We need to be blunt” she says – and journalists beware asking stupid questions, lest they be chewed up and spat out by Mercury in Aries! Although Aries ruler – Mars in Pisces – offers a little velvet glove diplomacy!

Her Moon in Leo is closely conjunct Israel’s Moon in Leo – arguably the most potent factor regarding the Lion of Judah, the Promised Land and the Chosen Ones. A sense of specialness, exclusive elitism, a law unto itself (the divine right of kings) – acting with impunity, ignoring international law.

Albanese was born almost 30 years after Israel, hence shares the same Saturn in Leo position – reflecting her academic authority in law, whilst Israel’s is a lower expression of the authoritarian, tyrant and hard task-master. Albanese’s Aries sun is opposite Pluto in Libra, empowering further the first ray characteristics of Aries. Her Pluto falls on Israel’s Neptune – representing its idealism, which Pluto directly confronts.

Israel’s Pluto in Leo sits close to Albanese’s Saturn – there is her authority, up against the prodigious power of the plutonium-armed Zionist state, supported financially and philosphically by the USA.

Rumour has it that Albanese has a “bounty on her head” – a dramatic description of sanctions imposed upon her. Yet at the same time she has been nominated by several groups for the Nobel Peace Prize. Others like Trump coveted that prize – purely from selfish ambition, not unlike Obama who was its least deserving recipient.

Albanese’s Jupiter is conjunct Alcyone, the star of intelligence and of the individual. Currently there are several Taurus progresssions around that point, including the transit of Uranus.

Uranus the revolutionary and rebel is undoubtedly the force that brought Albanese into the global spotlight. The first pass of Uranus over Jupiter was mid to late June 2025, again in mid-Nov. to mid Dec. – and finally mid-March to mid-April 2026.

Another factor relating to the rebel is her natal Uranus exalted in Scorpio, square to her Moon-Saturn in Leo – and Israel’s Moon, there is her direct rebellion in holding Israel to account. (Wikileaks whistleblower – Julian Assange, has a similar aspect with Sun square Uranus.)

Given that Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius, the personality of Italy – Albanese may well be Sagittarius rising – her soul purpose. (Gemini was the author’s first impression.) She emanates a lot of positive Sagittarius energy and the voluble Gemini polarity is very active, boldly calling-out the USA and companies that have supported the Gaza genocide:

“Amid this manufactured famine, however, Israel has permitted another kind of shipment to flow freely. Weapons imports have continued unabated, with thousands of pounds of bombs, guns and ammunition pouring into the Israel Defense Forces.

A new report by Francesca Albanese … has uncovered the major supplier of this fatal equipment: the United States … the exposé lays bare how major American corporations have been all too eager to facilitate Israel’s atrocities in Gaza in exchange for billions of dollars in revenue. It also reveals our nation’s [UK] now undeniable complicity in what has been described as the worst humanitarian crisis of the 21st century.

War profiteering is a phenomenon as ancient as war itself, but Albanese’s investigation shows that the military-industrial-technological complex is reaping uniquely horrible payoffs in Palestine. Albanese describes how companies led by Lockheed Martin have built fighter jets for Israel that have carried out bombings which have killed or wounded almost 200,000 Palestinians.

She describes Palantir’s work with the Israeli military … in IDF programs identifying Gaza targets. And she brings to light how Caterpillar Inc. equipment has demolished homes and hospitals, crushing to death civilians stuck inside those structures.

Perhaps the most hypocritical offenders are the members of the Magnificent Seven. Google’s unofficial motto was once “Don’t be evil,” but now the company has joined Amazon to provide cloud computing services to Israel and its military for a persuasive $1.2bn. Albanese quotes an Israeli colonel who calls this technology “a weapon in every sense of the word”, a cloud as deadly as any poison gas.

The Trump administration has responded to Albanese’s research with its classic combination of denial and retribution. The secretary of state, Marco Rubio, has sanctioned her, calling her work “political and economic warfare”.

But Albanese’s conclusions align with those of several prominent Jewish and Israeli figures. The former IDF soldier and leading genocide historian Omer Bartov defended Albanese by writing, “I have been teaching classes on genocide for a quarter of a century. I can recognize one when I see one.”

On Monday, two major Israeli human rights groups announced they agreed with that description. The journalist Peter Beinart, the editor-at-large of Jewish Currents, has called Israel an apartheid state, and recently condemned the crisis in Gaza as “an astonishing level of death and suffering that has been normalized”. A simple scan of the Israeli newspaper Haaretz turns up recent headlines like “The Mathematics of Starvation” and “Israel’s Destruction of Gaza”.”35

Apart from Albanese, if any one group of people deserve the Nobel Peace Prize, it must be the doctors and surgeons who work under appalling conditions. They not only deal with horrific injuries to children and adults that arrive on a daily basis, but they are starving – along with the rest of Gaza:

“They are in a state of extreme exhaustion. Some have fainted in the operating rooms,” … the director of al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City, who said that like the people of Gaza, staff had not received any aid or had any meals in the past 48 hours.”36

A sobering subject to reflect upon – as we take for granted our evening meal.
