Ship of Fools

The cruise ship MV Hondius set sail from Terra del Fuego on April 1, 2026. Sickness broke out on April 6, just in time for World Health Day, April 7. By the time the Hondius reached the port of Praia, Cape Verde, the first death from Hantavirus was reported.

• First Hantavirus Death (HANTA): 11 April, 2026, noon, Praia, CV

• WHO Founded (WHO): 7 April, 1948, noon, New York, NY

We will use these Name Minor Planets:

• MP Hondius (for MV Hondius, you never know what you will find in the MP database)

• MP United Nations

For the Virus theme:

• MP Hantang (var. for hanta)

• MP GatesWest (a proven MP for Bill Gates)

• MP Medea (goddess of Pharmakia)

• MP Meta (Hebrew word for death)

• MP Koronis

• MP Poseidon (anagram for “poisoned”, aka Neptune, ruler of poisons)

And these two untested Minor Planets

• MP MeSick

• MP TheChills (as in fever)

Here is the synastry:

Right away we see WHO Moon Mercury MP Hanta on HANTA Mercury MP Medea, the goddess of Pharmakia.

The Hondius voyage took place during the WHO solar return: see WHO SUN on HANTA MP Gates. Given the mutual conjunctions of their Mercury’s and Sun’s, I’d say that the Hondius Event is a congruent expression of the WHO’s mission.

HANTA MP Hanta conjoins the rather ominous WHO Stellium of Pluto, MP Gates, Saturn, MP TheChills, and Mars.

The root word of Venus is venenum, which is Latin for “potion” or “poison”. See how HANTA Venus is perfectly conjunct WHO MP MeSick NN MP Koronis. This is doubly reflected in HANTA Uranus MP Koronis MP Hondius conjunct WHO Venus.

And lastly, WHO MP Hondius is in perfect alignment by opposition with FS Alphard,(death by water or by poisoning).

Venus Virus

After seeing the significance of Venus (as poisoner) and MP Koronis in this synastry, let’s take a look at the comparison of the First Hanta Death to the first report of the COVID outbreak:

• COVID Outbreak (CV): 19 December, 2019, 5:43 p.m., Wuhan, China

Notice the astounding recurrence of the Venus-Poison theme: HANTA Venus in perfect T-square to CV Venus MP Koronis opposite HANTA MP Hanta.

Just as we saw in the 1948 WHO chart, COVID also has a tight Saturn-Pluto conjunction, this time on HANTA MP Poseidon (poison).

See also CV MC Chiron (healing crisis) MP TheChills on HANTA Mars Neptune (poison attack at sea).

Note as well, that the CV 8th cusp (death, other people’s money) conjoins the close HANTA Pluto Moon conjunction. See, too, that FS Unukalhai (death by poison) is perfectly opposite the CV POF, with CV MP Meta (death) on the CV 12th cusp: death was surely a “money maker”.

And in the COVID natal chart itself, see Moon MP Gates in alignment to FS Alphard (death by water or by poisoning). This echoes the same theme in the WHO synastry above, where its MP Hondius is in perfect alignment to Alphard.

This is an excellent example of how the Minor Planets can lend themselves to even the most poisonous of events.

There it was: the transit of MP Klonios, sitting retrograde on my Mercury. I joked with the others about it, and then speculated that the rumored death of Netanyahu would be a good way to test its validity. (For details, read my recent article, Dead or Alive?.) This was also the day the news of Netanyahu’s cancer diagnosis popped up.

Look what I found:

• MP Klonios on EVENT SN with Mars Mercury Sun and MP MOSS (Mossad) on the NN

  • square EVENT MP Meta (Hebrew for “death”) on BIBI AC

• BIBI MP Klonios sextile the EVENT NN

• EVENT Jupiter perfectly conjunct BIBI 8th cusp, trine EVENT NN

Looks like Netanyahu’s “death”, real or otherwise, was a benefit to someone.

This small test of MP Klonios was enough to encourage a further look. Little did I know, however, that the opportunity to do so would arrive later the same day.

White House Press Club Shooting

One of my sources yielded the date of birth for the shooter, Cole Tomaso Allen.

• Cole Allen (COLE): 11 April 1995, noon, place of birth unknown

The Name MPs:

• MP Cole

• MP Tomasko ( for “Tomaso”, Allen’s middle name)

• MP Allen

• MP TRIUMF (var. Trump)

• MP Orangia (OrangeMan)

• MP WhiteHouse

• MP PressBurger (Press Club)

• MP MOSS: a proven MP for the Mossad

• MP Israel

We will also use the Assassination group of Minor Planets, along with Klonios:

• MP Klonios (illegitimate son of Priam, the last king of Troy)

• MP Beksha (proven assassination MP)

• MP Meta: (Hebrew “met” for dead; “mita” for killing, death)

• MP Harig: (Hebrew “hariga” for execution)

• MP Dilles: (Somali “dil” murder)

• MP Sheraqul: (Somali “shirqool” for conspiracy)

• MP Patsy

Here is Trump’s synastry with the shooter, Cole Allen:

Note that COLE Noon Moon is very close to DJT Ascendant conjunct the FS Phaecda, a star associated with Assassination. This aligns with DJT DC POF on MP Meta, which means “death” in Hebrew. This axis makes a t-square to COLE Pluto opposite his MP Patsy on DJT MP OrangeMan, with COLE MP Tomasko perfectly conjunct DJT MC.

COLE MP Israel NN opposes his MP Allen on DJT SN, while the rather ominous axis of DJT MP TRIUMF, MP Israel, and MP Prey is tagged by COLE MP WhiteHouse.

DJT famed NN Sun Uranus stellium is joined by COLE MP Cole on Uranus, opposed by COLE MP MOSS.

See the rather frightful 12th house figures:

• COLE MP Cole on DJT 12th cusp

• COLE Mars MP OrangeMan MP TRIUMF gathered near DJT Pluto

• COLE MP Meta opposite his MP Klonios on DJT MP Patsy MP Deception

Now, let’s add in the shooting event:

• White House Shooting (SHOOT): 25 April 2026, 8:35 p.m., Washington, DC

The key figures are:

• Both COLE and SHOOT Moons on DJT AC Phaecda

• SHOOT Sun on COLE SN and DJT MP Allen opposite COLE NN MP Israel

And last, but not least:

• SHOOT MP Klonios MP TRIUMF in the DJT AC Stellium

I think MP Klonios has shown itself worthy of further study in the charts where doubt exists that the actual person is involved. Take your time to explore this chart, as I regret that scheduling issues preclude further comment at this time.

Oh! I almost forgot my manners! I want to publicly acknowledge my Discord Imposter, without whose prompting I might never have found MP Klonios. Much obliged to you.

MP Senator Confirms Rumor

MP Senator has just signaled the 25th Amendment. While this looks like curtains for Trump. it may simply be an indication of this detail of the narrative:

• Trump’s Algol MC perfectly conjunct his MP Senator joining Uranus MP Bonk to form the “OrangeMan Crazy” Stellium

• Easter Truth Post MP Senator perfectly conjunct Trump’s 12th cusp.

(Full story below)

Whatever possessed him to post this utterly horrific Truth on Easter Morning?

In this short piece, we will explore the Minor Planet indications for Trump’s state of mind as reflected in his synastry with the chart for his Easter Truth post.

Minor Planets used:

• MP Bonk (for “bonkers”)

• MP MANIAC

• MP EasterWood (the wooden cross of the crucifixion)

• MP Pascal (homolog for “Paschal”, another word for Easter

• MP Paschen (homolog for “The Passion”)

• MP Post

• MP Truth

• MP TRIUMF (var. anagram of “I Trump”)

• MP Orangia (“OrangeMan”)

Iranian Energy

Kharg Island is Iran’s most critical oil export terminal, handling approximately 90% of the country’s crude exports.

• MP WhiteRabbit (Persian for “khargh” (rabbit); and for “khargosh” (dementia)

• MP Hormuthia (for “Hormuz”)

• MP Heracles (Greek God of Power, for “Power Plant Day”)

See the bunny ears? We will see their significance in the chart below.

Easter Truth Post

That the Truth Post is genuine is born out by:

• POST SN MP TRIUMF MP Post on DJT MP Truth

The Red T-Square delineates Trump’s mental status:

• POST MP Truth perfectly conjunct DJT AC

  • perfectly opposite POST MP Pascal: the Easter Truth

• POST Uranus MP Bonk on DJT MP Orangia: Orange Man crazy

See also the Blue Solunar Nodal Axis aligned with Rasalhague, the Head of the Snake, a fixed star associated with mental depravity:

• POST POF MP MANIAC perfectly conjunct DJT NN Sun Uranus (crazy) MP Paschen

  • opposite POST MP EasterWood on DJT SN Moon Rasalhague: he will be “crucified” for this

Power Plant Day

While the Black axis between DJT MP MANIAC and POST MP Hormuthia is hardly reassuring, the “Tuesday Power Plant Day” that Trump called for is clearly evidenced in the Brown Beksha T-square, featuring MP Heracles, God of Power. Look at the precise timing by Solar transit:

• POST MP Beksha opposite Sun MP Heracles applying to DJT MP Hormuthia MP Heracles. The Sun will conjoin DJT MP Heracles on April 7/8

  • square DJT MP Beksha: violent disruption in the Strait

The Demented Rabbit

The final figure of note is the Purple Mars Rubicon Yod, indicating that the Truth Post marks a “point of no return” for Trump:

• POST Mars MP WhiteRabbit (demented rabbit/Kharg Island) on its 12th cusp

  • in Yod to POST MP Rubicon on DJT Mars MP America in his 12th: Iran will appear to have the final say, but the real dynamic will remain hidden behind the curtain.

Remember: you have a front row seat in the Theatre of the Exilarchy1, starring the Three Amigos: America, Israel and Iran. Take a look at your playbill. The final act is about to get under way.

As one might expect, the Istituto per le Opere di Religione, commonly known as the Vatican Bank, has a dark and plutonic history, founded, as it was, in 1605 by the newly ordained Bishop of Rome Pope Paulus V, aka Camillo Borghese, the “papa” of one of Italy’s most powerful and sinister “Black Nobilities”.

It is against this backdrop that we will consider the synastry between the Vatican and its new Bank President, Francois Pauly, followed by a look at the bank’s astrological origin.

Minor Planets used:

• MP Vatican

• MP Banks

• MP Francis

• MP Pauly

• MP Gold

• MP Goldman

• MP Beksha

The Vatican

• Vatican City State (VAT): 7 June 1929, 11:00 a.m., Rome, ITALY

Banker Pauly steps into an important position at the Vatican, an employer with a great deal of emphasis on money in its chart:

• Venus rules the MC, North Node, and Jupiter, all in Taurus

  • trining POF on the Ascendant

• Neptune perfectly conjunct FS Regulus in the 12th: great hidden wealth

  • trine MP Gold

• MP Banks and Uranus in the 8th

• MP Vatican in the 5th

• Mercury and Moon, rulers of the 2nd and 11th, the house of gains, conjoin its 10th house Sun

• Pluto, ruler of the South Node, in the 11th and perfectly conjunct MP Goldman, confirms that the Vatican is an old hand at the wielding of financial power.

The Vatican and Pauly

• Francois Pauly (PAUL): 30 June 1964, noon, Luxembourg, LUX

We bring in the Minor Planet of the Khazarian War Chiefs, MP Beksha, a “violent disruptor”, as we take a look at the Pauly-Vatican synastry:

• PAUL NN perfectly conjunct his MP Vatican (we can see quite clearly where he’s going)

  • square VAT MP Banks on its 8th cusp: other people’s money, “unearned” income, dare we say “ill-gotten”?

• VAT 12th House Mars perfectly conjunct MP Pauly: hidden machinations

• VAT 8th house Uranus on PAUL MP Francis: an unconventional approach is sought from Pauly

• PAUL MP Beksha (disruption) on VAT Sun Moon and his own VE/MA midpoint: lots of energy here, as these two major midpoints mark the degrees of greatest vitality; harmonizes with VAT MP Beksha placement on its POF

• PAUL Mars t-square his Uranus Saturn opposition on VAT AC DC Axis promises that he will initiate change, but with a stabilizing hand.

Of note in the Vatican chart:

• VAT AC POF with MP Beksha: a financial “war chief”, a disruptor

• VAT SN on its MP Banks (where they’re coming from), ruled by Pluto in the 11th: old power, old money

I expect change and disruption in the Vatican’s financial affairs, but with its Mars MP Pauly in the 12th, this will be kept well hidden.

Transits

Here we see the transits during the process of his Pauly’s selection:

• Elected by Committee of Cardinals on 28 January 2026

• Announcement (A) on 26 March 2026

• Starts (S) his tenure on 28 April 2026

Pauly’s selection seems very natural, confirmed by the following:

• MP Vatican A and MP Pauly on VAT AC

  • opposite MP Banks

• MP Francis S on VAT Sun Moon

• Sun S on VAT MP Francis and PAUL MP Pauly

• Mars MP Banks S on VAT Uranus MP Pauly

• MP Banks A on VAT MP Banks 8th

• Both VAT and PAUL MP MasterMan are conjunct: indicator of “spycraft” and “intrigue”

• Note Moon Jupiter A on VAT Pluto: they hope for “big things”

The Borghese Bank

The Borghesi were a leading family of Italy’s Black Nobility, as evidenced by their crest with its two dragons, one black, the other gold. Born on “Algol Day”, Camillo Borghese was made Pope in 1605, and immediately founded both the Vatican Bank and the Bank of the Holy Spirit.

• Pope Paulus V (BORG): 16 May 1605, noon, Rome ITALY

Camillo founded the Vatican Bank on 13 December 1605, just as Mars touched FS Spica (great wealth) with MP Black on the North Node, promising it would be a financially successful venture with the Borghesi in control.

Minor Planet used for Camillo Borghese:

• MP Borgoamozzano (site of “The Devil’s Bridge”)

Here is a small detail of the synastry between The Vatican (blue) and Camillo Borghese (red):

He slots nicely into the Vatican’s Algol Stellium. Apparently Camillo’s spirit is pleased with how things are going:

• BORG MP Pauly MP Vatican MP Lucifer on VAT MC

• BORG Moon Venus near MP Roth (for Rothschild) on VAT MP Francis

• BORG MP Sun Uranus on Algol, on VAT MP Roth MP Guardi (Swiss Guard)

The Darker Side of the Vatican

In this deeper look at the synastry of Pauly and the Vatican, we see:

• PAUL Pluto opposite his Moon MP Borgoamozzano (Devil’s Bridge) perfectly conjunct VAT MP Lucifer, squared by PAUL Mars: seems a rather ominous note.

• PAUL MP Black MP Francis on VAT Uranus, square PAUL Sun on VAT MP Black opposite VAT MP Vatican: harkens back to the Bank’s Black Family ties.

It looks to be that Pauly is aligned with the spirit of Camillo through his “Devil’s Bridge” Moon Pluto pattern on the Vatican’s MP Lucifer on the Ascendent axis.

I’ll close with the Vatican coat-of-arms, with its gold and silver keys to the Kingdom:

I hope you’ve enjoyed this brief look at the Vatican, its banking history, with the chart of its new Bank Director.

On March 9, 2026, we heard rumors of the death or injury of both Mossad Chief David Barnea and Benjamin Netanyahu. We will be using the following Minor Planets to help us assess their status:

• MP Meta: (Hebrew “met” for dead; “mita” for killing, death)

• MP Harig: (Hebrew “hariga” for execution)

• MP Dilles: (Somali “dil” murder)

• MP Sheraqul: (Somali “shirqool” for conspiracy)

• MP MOSS: a proven MP for the Mossad

• MP DaviDying: for death of David Barnea

Charts used:

• Benjamin Netanyahu (BIBI) 21 October 1949, 10:30 a.m., Tel Aviv, ISRL

• Transits on Rumored Death (DEATH?) 9 March 2026

I posted the initial analysis on the Astro Edge Discord at 10:11 p.m. on March 9:

The most striking features:

• DEAD? MP Meta (dead, killing) perfectly conjunct BIBI AC

• DEAD? Moon perfectly conjunct MP Harig (execution)

  • square FS Phecda (bloodbaths and assassinations)

• BIBI 12th house MP Meta opposite FS Algol

  • square BIBI Mars: natal image of violent death

The possibility that both Netanyahu and his Mossad Chief, David Barnea, were killed is also shown in the Mossad theme:

• DEAD? MP DaviDying perfectly opposite DEAD? Sun MP MOSS (Mossad)

• DEAD? MP Dilles (murder) on BIBI Saturn MP MOSS

  • square DEAD? MP Meta (dead/killing) perfectly conjunct BIBI AC (his body)

That Netanyahu and Barnea were taken unawares, and that the event might be part of a Khazarian (Zionist) plan, seems to be shown by the prominent position of MP Beksha, which figured dramatically in the Butler Attempt on Trump:

• DEAD? MP Beksha (Khazarian War Chief) MP Sheraqul (conspiracy) perfectly conjunct BIBI SN Moon Neptune

• BIBI MP Beksha with his Sun and MP Harig (execution)

  • opposed by DEAD? Chiron

With this configuration, and if actually dead, Netanyahu and Barnea may have been an intentional or expedient “sacrifice” to advance the Zionist cause.

Oil Karma

Given the role of Oil in the war:

• MP Olieus

See, as well, the role of

• MP Karma

• MP Veratar (a homolog for “verrat”, the German word for betrayal):

• DEAD? SN perfectly conjunct MP Oileus

• BIBI Sun MP Harig (execution) perfectly opposite BIBI MP Oileus

  • square BIBI MP Israel

• DEAD? Moon MP Harig perfectly conjunct BIBI MP Veratar (betrayal)

And lastly, see MP Karma:

• DEAD? MP Karma perfectly conjunct BIBI MP Beksha on 12th house cusp

  • perfectly opposite BIBI MP Karma on the 6th, with < 1° orb

Conclusion

The rumored event seems fated, karmic.

The transits to Netanyahu’s chart on March 9, 2026 seem to account for the deaths of both men. With Minor Planet orbs of < 1° to Netanyahu’s AC, Saturn, Neptune, Moon, South Node, Sun, and 12th house cusp, we can clearly see how MP DaviDying, MP MOSS, and the MPs for “dead”, “assassination”, “betrayal”, “execution”, “murder”, and “karma”, complete the story.

As of today, March 13, unless I’ve missed a recent official announcement, we still aren’t completely sure, but I would say both men are no longer alive.

Your thoughts and comments are invited.

Yesterday, I read for a new client, a surgeon from Argentina. I will include his natal chart as context for an unexpected Minor Planet anecdote I wish to share.

Aside from the emphasis on the 8th and 12th houses that portends a life where much must be broken and rejected in order to create the authentic way forward, it is impossible to miss the key to who this man is:

• Taurean Lilith on the AC: image of the Stubborn Rebel

He has help and protection for the heavy challenges he must put himself through:

• Earth Grand Trine in 4-8-12, the moksha trikona, or houses of spiritual detachment, liberation, and transformation

  • Exalted Taurus Moon in the 12th

  • Venus, ruler of AC Lilith Moon, and of the SN, in the 8th

  • Jupiter, ruler of the 8th, while blessing and protecting the native by aspect, connotes the deep psychological and spiritual work indicated by the their placements.

  • Jupiter also looks at his Piscean Mercury, which contributes to his gift of a very keen and compassionate intelligence.

The parental dynamic:

• Moon in 12 square Sun, ruler of 4th: mother loving and earthy, perhaps remote, but inspiring; her message at odds with the father’s?

• Saturn at its fall in Aries: father restricts and invalidates, ensuring he learn to fight and struggle for the independence required by his Aries NN.

The NN is difficult:

• Aries NN on cusp of 12: must sacrifice it all to answer the question: “Who am I, without you and your rules?”

• Saturn square Venus, ruler of the SN: early life restriction creates the necessary impetus.

• 11th Lord Mars in the 10th, ruler of the NN, in an oppositional tangle with Chiron, Pluto and Uranus: he must fight to establish his own definition of “success” through crisis and pain, much of it his own doing.

This classically trained surgeon emigrated to America, where he practiced in the expected fashion for 30 years until he threw it all over to become a medical iconoclast. We see it in the Aquarian Sun, which carries the eye to its dispositor Uranus, snarled in the core struggle of the chart:

• Uranus Pluto in Virgo opposing Pisces Chiron Mars: the Wounded Warrior must endure both internal and external criticism until the need to be “correct” is transformed and he becomes the Compassionate Healer of both spirit and body, on his own terms.

• Neptune, natural lord of the 12th, and dispositor of Mercury, Mars and Chiron, supports this otherwise difficult dynamic by trine.

Transits:

• Saturn began its distribution phase in 2022, requiring that he let go of all structures that no longer serve: divorced his wife, left his surgical practice, and became a wanderer, without a home base, as he sought to ground his Piscean ideals into a new way of being a healer.

• Pluto opposes his POF: deep transformation of how he defines “success”, which manifests the necessary 11th house growth.

• Pluto applying square to his Moon, which concludes in 2029: power struggles in private and outer life will drive him to claim his emotional and spiritual authority and to recognize where his true security lies.

Santiago’s Shadow

As we chatted after the reading, he posed one more question, giving me a specific date and asking if I could explain the significance of “Santiago” on that day. I turned to the Minor Planet list, found MP Santiago, and added it to his chart (blue), with transits for the date in question (red).

“Well, what do you see?”, he asked.

“I see the end of Santiago.”

• Pluto transit perfectly conjunct his MP Santiago

• MP Santiago transit perfectly conjunct his 8th cusp

“But Santiago was necessary”, I continued, “to bring you to an awareness of your own power, instead of his. It marked the end of his influence over you.”

• NN transit perfectly square MP Santiago on his 8th cusp

• Sun transit perfectly conjunct his DC, opposite Lilith, and square natal Sun.

“Santiago carried part of your Shadow for you. His “end” gave you the gift of seeing how to carry this aspect for yourself.”

Which was true, he explained, saying that “Santiago” had intervened to help him through a vicious midlife crisis, but at the cost of consigning his own authority. On the date in question, he came to the recognition that his dependence on “Santiago” was like having Stockholm Syndrome. He broke off the relationship, ready to move on.

Such is the amazing grace and power of the Minor Planets when they are exact and thematically relevant.

Let me know in the comments if this type of information on the practical use of MPs in the individual chart is of interest to you.

Well, it finally happened, and all it took was the Eclipse. Someone connected to Epstein has been arrested, albeit for “suspicion of misconduct in public office”.

Let’s see what the charts say, with the help of:

• MP d’Arrest (I’ve waited a long time to use this one!)

• MP Randi (for Andrew’s very prescient nickname “Randy Andy”)

• MP AndrewLowman (seems apt)

The Eclipse at 28°50’ Aquarius ignites a compelling Grand Cross across his chart. See Andrew’s Sun Chiron on 8th house cusp (28°58’), with Eclipse MP Randi (29°08’) and nearby MP AndrewLowman. The Eclipse Uranus squares the 8th as it opposes Andrew’s MP York, his former royal title as Duke.

I want to make special mention of MP d’Arrest, whose debut completes the Grand Cross as it transits opposite the Eclipse point, very near Andrew’s Pluto. It’s another fine example, along with MP Randi, of the Minor Planets’ unrestrained sense of humor.

The Libido Twins

Let’s move on now and take a look at Andrew in synastry with Jeffrey. Keep an eye out as we add:

• MP Listz (a homolog for “list”)

• MP Loos (for “loosh”, a term coined by Robert Monroe, used in connection with the appalling practice of “energy harvesting”)

• MP Batten (for Mountbatten-Windsor, Andrew’s surname)

• MP Epstein

Between Andrew’s MP Epstein on his NN, squaring Epstein’s MP Randi MP d’Arrest, and Epstein’s nodal axis aligned with Andrew’s AC/DC, theirs seems a fated relationship. Libido, which is certainly the reason they got together, is represented in astrology by the Mars/Venus midpoint. See Andrew’s Mars Venus MP Loos bracketed by Epstein’s MP York and Sun. This figure is reciprocated in Epstein’s Mars Venus MP Batten on Andrew’s Mercury in his 8th house, which brings up the matter of “the list”.

Epstein’s DC Uranus MP Andrew MP Listz conjoin Andrew’s 12th house cusp, which would seem to explain his recent arrest, regardless of the charge. And if you look across the chart to Andrew’s DC, you will see his MP d’Arrest MP Listz squaring Epstein’s POF MP Loos, which opposes Andrew’s POF. But unless “the list” relates to his “public office”, it’s probably just a coincidence.

The Arrest

Although quite close upon the heels of the Eclipse, there are few additional points made by the angles in the Arrest synastry.

• Arrest MC perfectly conjunct Andrew’s Jupiter MP Maxwell: I suspect we will learn more from Ghislaine

• Arrest MP d’Arrest opposite Arrest Sun MP Randi on Andrew’s Sun: it’s Randy Andy’s 66th birthday!

• Arrest Mercury MP Listz on Andrew’s Mercury: a particularly telling sign of “misconduct”

• Arrest POF Chiron on Andrew’s MC, with MP Loos square Andrew’s Mars Venus MP Loos: “Mum’s the word.”

As an afterthought, I include this detail of Andrew’s synastry with Ghislaine (red). See her Saturn MP Veratar on his Libido MP Loos. MP Veratar represents betrayal, based on it being a homolog for “verrat”, which is the German word for betrayal. Her Jupiter MC is also conjunct his MP d’Arrest MP Listz.

Silver and the Krash Eclipse

Silver and the Krash Eclipse have a most intriguing synastry, featuring a reciprocal Chiron Uranus conjunction with MP Midas, MP Short, MP Gold and MP Silver involved. This certainly evokes the image of volatility and crisis, some of which effect we have already seen.

The Eclipse AC on Silver’s North Node suggests that Silver will find a new footing and identity as a metal, after the volatility, as its own MP Krash is uncomfortably close to its South Node.

In addition, The Krash Stellium is on SILVER MP Plunge opposite Neptune, the ruler of the Stellium.

And again, the Eclipse “Jupiter Rx with Crash MPs” theme is seen here with MP Hunt MP Swann on SILVER Sun MP Swann.

Charts used

• Silver Futures (SIL): 5 July, 1933, 10:05 a.m., Chicago, IL

• COMEX: 23 February, 1933, noon, New York, NY

• January Contract Expiry (JAN): 28 January, 2026, 12:25 p.m., Chicago, IL

• February Contract Expiry (FEB): 28 February, 2026, 12:25 p.m., Chicago, IL

• SEC Founded (SEC): 6 June, 1934, noon, Washington, DC

COMEX January Expiration

Going forward, this one single contract month will forever cement my trust in the Krash Group of Minor Planets.

What louder signal could they have sent?

• JAN Pluto Mars MP Plunge perfectly conjunct COMEX MP Plunge

  • opposite JAN MP Gold

• JAN MP Chaos perfectly conjunct COMEX MP Black

• JAN MP Swann perfectly conjunct COMEX Pluto

  • square JAN Chiron MP Copper MP Silver on COMEX Uranus MP Swann MP Short

• JAN MP Short on COMEX Chiron perfectly square COMEX MP Krash

• JAN MP Krash quincunx COMEX MP Copper

• JAN MP Chaos quincunx COMEX MP Gold

• JAN POF perfect opposition COMEX MP Karma

Here is a TV Daily bar chart for Silver:

The SEC seconds that emotion

A brief look at the SEC COMEX synastry seems to affirm the “rightness” of the current moment. Not only does the SEC chart have its own version of the “Jupiter Rx with Crash MPs” theme discussed in the Krash Eclipse article, but that group sits on the JAN POF opposing COMEX MP Karma: see SEC Jupiter with MP Krash and MP Short.

SEC “Lord of Karma” Saturn is perfectly conjunct JAN MP Krash, as well. Will there finally be an end to the paper shenanigans of the past four decades?

COMEX February Expiration

Now a look at the next expiration, which seems to extend the Krash Eclipse effect:

• FEB MC/IC MP Krash perfectly opposite COMEX Mars

• FEB MP Chaos perfectly conjunct COMEX MP Black

• FEB NN Pisces Sun perfectly conjunct COMEX NN MP Chaos

  • opposing COMEX Neptune, dispositor of the NN cluster

• FEB POF opposite COMEX Uranus MP Short MP Swann

• FEB MP Short 12 cusp square COMEX MP Silver

Conclusion

I will end my analysis here with the following suggestions for those who might wish to apply these concepts:

• Keep in mind the NYSE and USD “crash-sensitive” degree of 14 Virgo, discussed here

• Analyze all perspectives: Index, Exchange, Underlying, and Contract Expiry

• And follow the market research of the brilliant finastrix Margo Amala

During the most recent Margo Amala:Astro Edge AMA Members Webinar which focused on the market effect of the upcoming eclipse, I created a set of charts to include some of the additional Crash MPs I use. Based on their configuration within the upcoming Solar Eclipse on February 17, 2026, I am dubbing it the Krash Eclipse.

• MP Krash perfectly conjunct Eclipse NN Venus, all at 8°, forming the Krash Stellium

We will use the NYSE and USD charts.

• NYSE: May 17, 1792, 7:53:20 a.m., New York, NY

• USD: April 2, 1792, 10:57:14 a.m., Philadelphia, PA

We will also apply a predictive “look forward” to both markets, using the pattern that emerges from the historic market data.

Minor Planets Used

• Crash MPs: MP Plunge, MP Short, MP Swann, MP Krash(eninnikov)

• Precious Metal MPs: MP Hunt, MP Silver, MP Gold, MP Midas

• Financial MPs: MP Banks, MP Buck

  

Of Note

Before we begin, I want to point out these points of commonality between the NYSE and the USD charts, and to the two historic market crashes: 1929 and 1987.

• NYSE and USD share identical angles

• NYSE and USD both have Mars at the same degree

• both 1929 and 1987 Moons conjoined this degree on the USD and NYSE Mars

• MP Krash is precisely aligned with the Moon-Mars point in all the synastries

  

1929 Crash and NYSE

In the 1929 Crash, the DC Jupiter Rx MP Plunge was on NYSE MP Krash, opposing MP Black. This axis was also in T-square to 1929 Moon MP Black on NYSE Mars.

1987 Crash and NYSE

Here again we have a Jupiter Rx, but more interestingly, we see both the 1987 and NYSE MP Krash conjunct and opposing NYSE MP Black. This axis makes a T-square to another Moon Mars conjunction, as well. See 1987 MP Plunge on NYSE MP Plunge, opposing NYSE MP Banks MP Buck.

Krash Eclipse and NYSE

It is interesting to note that the Jupiter Rx figure in the 1929 Crash repeats in the Krash Eclipse. See it on NYSE AC Chiron, with MP Hunt, MP Swann MP Waterloo, and squaring NYSE MP Swann.

With Eclipse MP Silver on NYSE Saturn, the Lord of Karma, conjunct MP Karma and square MP Short, we’d expect this eclipse to “balance the scales” somehow.

In addition, the Krash Stellium aligns with NYSE MP Banks MP Buck opposite MP Plunge.

And lastly, the Eclipse squares Uranus MP Short on NYSE Sun, and opposes NYSE MP Gold.

Looking Forward: 2026 Crash and NYSE

After seeing the USD and NYSE Mars sensitivity to Crash Moons that also activate MP Krash and other Crash MPs, I projected forward to see if a similar pattern was in the offing:

• TEST, March 3, 2026, cast for 4:00 p.m., New York, NY

Here we see the TEST Moon on NYSE Mars. This point will oppose TEST Mercury MP Banks MP Krash, all in T-square to NYSE MP Krash. TEST Nodal Axis activates the NYSE MP Buck MP Banks MP Plunge Axis. The Jupiter Rx Crash Group is still on the NYSE AC.

Now we will look at the same synastries with the USD chart.

1929 and USD

The US Dollar chart and the NYSE share almost identical angles, and both have Mars within one degree. In the USD, the 1929 DC Jupiter Rx figure precisely opposes the USD MP Black, while the 1929 Moon MP Black is precisely on the USD Mars, just as with the NYSE Mars. But in the USD chart, this point opposes USD MP Swann, completing the Grand Black Cross.

1929 MP Krash perfectly opposes USD MP Krash, as well.

1987 Crash and USD

The Grand Black Cross recurs and intensifies in 1987, with the added involvement of 1987 Saturn on USD MP Black opposite 1987 MP Krash, and 1987 MP Krash T-square to the Moon Mars conjunction, opposite MP Swann.

Krash Eclipse and USD

The Krash Stellium is on USD Venus opposite MP Plunge, which also squares the USD 12th cusp, while the Eclipse Jupiter Rx, with MP Hunt MP Swann, is on the USD AC Chiron and square USD Sun.

Additionally, see the Eclipse AC Axis on USD Pluto MP Banks MP Buck opposite USD MP Gold.

Looking Forward: March 2, 2026 and USD

While this is a purely speculative exercise to test the Crash Group MPs, let’s look at the chart for March 2, 2026.

On March 2, the transiting Moon Mars opposition makes a perfect T-square to MP Short on USD MP Krash, thus echoing the overall theme of Moon-Mars-MP Krash we’ve established.

By 6 p.m. on March 3, 2026 the Moon will conjoin USD Mars opposite MP Swann, with the Krash Stellium still in effect and the Sun just a day shy of conjoining MP Krash, on USD MP Swann.

As they say, we shall see.

AI and Robot Astrology

In this article I will use the events around the life and work of Nikola Tesla as a way to develop and test a group of Minor Planets for the astrology of AI and Robots. We will cover:

• Nikola Tesla and his Telautomaton, the first modern robot

• Use of Minor Planets for patent numbers

• Tesla and the Dove

• MIT Professor John Trump and the Tesla papers

Nikola Tesla

Nikola Tesla was born during a lightning storm, the perfect namita, or omen, to herald the arrival of this “Master of Lightning”.

• Nikola Tesla (TES): 10 July 1856, 0:01 a.m., Smiljan, HRV

His powerful Uranian Harmonic structure activates both his inventive authority and his command of Earth’s telluric currents:

• Pluto MP Tesla on AC/DC Axis

  • T-square to Chiron

• Aquarius POF Chiron MP Amphios (who drew force from the Earth)

  • disposited by Uranus conjunct Algol

• Mars on SN

  • dispositor of the NN

What better planetary activation for a cosmic-class inventor than Chiron, Mars and Uranus. You can feel the Etheric Force pouring into the man through the inverted Pentagram.

We note the current transit of Pluto to the Pentagram Activation point of 4° Aquarius. Death does not “turn off” one’s natal chart. In fact, this point will prove important in this and in my upcoming article on Energy Weapons. Note below that Chiron was at this degree when the Tesla Coil, which was the basis for the Teleforce “death beam”, was patented.

We also see Uranus transit to MP Telephus, a homolog for his “death beam”, which he called Teleforce.

• Sun IC perfectly conjunct MP 613809, the patent number for his invention of the first robotic device, the Telautomaton

• MP Telephus, “death beam”, 1° Gemini: under Uranus transit.

Robot Group

For those who wish to research the theme of AI and Robots, I suggest starting with this basic set of robot-related Minor Planets:

• MP Tesla

• MP 613809 (patent number for the Telautomaton)

• MP Robot

• MP Sophia (for Sophia, first robot citizen)

• MP Elektra (for Elektro, the Motor Man, first humanoid robot)

• MP Talos (the ancient Greek bronze robot, and close anagram for “tesla”)

The Telautomaton

My AI /Robot investigation picked up speed when fellow researcher Margo Amala suggested I look at the chart for Nikola Tesla’s robotic boat Telautomaton, the first remotely controlled wireless device. Tesla explicitly stated that this boat was the “first of a race of robots, mechanical men, which will do the laborious work of the human race.” 1

Tesla revealed the Telautomaton at the 1898 Electrical Exposition held at New York City’s Madison Square Garden. We will use this event as our synastry base chart.

• Telautomaton Demo (DEMO): 23 September 1989, noon, Madison Square, NY

U.S. Patent No. 613,809 “Method of and Apparatus for Controlling Mechanism of Moving Vessels or Vehicles” described the Telautomaton as a machine with a “borrowed mind.” I found a way to signify it by using an unnamed Minor Planet, MP 613809. It shows remarkable relevance across the charts.

• Telautomaton Patent (PAT): 8 November 1898, noon, Washington DC

Coincidentally, I began this study on January 7, which is the anniversary of Tesla’s death. This is what the synastry with Tesla revealed:

Right away, we can see the significant placement of the Robot Group MPs:

• DEMO MP Talos opposition Sun

• DEMO MP Tesla on TES DC MP Tesla

• TRAN NN MP Sophia

  • opposing TES IC Sun MP 613809

• TRAN MP Robotti

  • return to DEMO MP Robotti Moon

• TRAN Moon on DEMO MP Sophia opposite DEMO Elektra

• TRAN MP Elektra on TES AC

  • opposing DEMO MP Tesla and TES MP Tesla

• TRAN Uranus MP Robot on Algol

  • opposing TRAN MP Tesla on DEMO Chiron

Minor Planets as Patent Numbers

The Telautomaton patent number, as MP 613809, shows precise synastry with Nikola Tesla (blue).

• TES Sun is perfectly conjunct his MP 613809

  • trine PAT Sun

• PAT Chiron square MP 613809: currently under Uranus transit

• TES MP Tesla is perfectly conjunct PAT MP Robot

To further test the validity of patent numbers as MPs, I extended this technique to the Tesla Coil by using MP 8575 (Seishitakeuchi) to represent its UK patent number.

• Tesla Coil British Patent (COIL): June 20, 1891, noon, London ENG

• TES Moon MP 8575 (red)

• COIL Mars MP 8575 (blue)

Note that the Tesla Coil was patented when Chiron touched the Pentagram Activation point of 4° Aquarius as it made its opposition to Tesla’s own Chiron, igniting a Grand Cross tied to his powerful AC Pluto-MP Tesla opposition, his Mars, and Aries North Node. This indicates that the energetic “push” to manifest and harness the telluric force with the Tesla Coil was his destiny. In fact, the Tesla Coil is what underpinned Tesla’s subsequent invention of the Teleforce energy weapon.

MP Robot MP Tesla Conjunctions

The conjunction by transit of MP Robot and MP Tesla has figured prominently in the charts of the various robots, adding further evidence of their validity to represent this theme. We will use the charts for Elektro, the Moto-Man, who made his debut at the 1939 World’s Fair, and for Sophia, the first robot to be granted citizenship.

• Mr. Elektro (ELEK): 30 April 1939, 3:12 p.m., Queens, NY

• Citizen Sophia (SOP): 25 October 2017, non, Riyadh, SAUDI

The conjunction by transit of MP Robot and MP Tesla in the charts for both Elektro and Sophia, and their mutual NN MP Elektra exchange seems highly significant, as does the Elektro MP Elektra return to Tesla’s own MP Elektra conjunct MP Robot. And lastly, Sophia Sun and Jupiter conjoin Tesla’s MP Tesla. All are good examples of the validity of the Robot Group of Minor Planets.

Tesla and the Dove

In the last, lonely decade of his life, an impoverished Tesla lived at the Hotel New Yorker. He invested all his care and devotion to the pigeons he fed everyday in nearby Herald Square Park, calling them “my doves”.

Tesla, who never married, admitted to falling in love with one very special white dove that visited him regularly. He said, “I loved that pigeon as a man loves a woman, and she loved me. As long as I had her, there was a purpose to my life.”

Many accounts place the death of this particular dove in 1922, adding that this was only a few days before his own passing. However, as Tesla died in 1943, this anecdote seems doubtful. Therefore, I have included the only documented date related to a special dove, that of February 6th, 1935:

The newspaper reports that Tesla adopted the pigeon and nursed her back to health. It specifies that the pigeon’s leg-band number was #1286. How curious, then, to find it is perfectly conjunct Tesla’s Venus:

• MP 1286 Banachiewicz

His biographer, John O’Neill, writing in 1944, quotes an amazing story of Tesla’s:

“I have been feeding pigeons, thousands of them, for years,” Tesla said. “But there was one pigeon, a beautiful bird, pure white with light gray tips on its wings; that one was different. It was a female. I would know that pigeon anywhere. No matter where I was that pigeon would find me; when I wanted her I had only to wish and call her and she would come flying to me. She understood me and I understood her. I loved that pigeon.”

He described an extraordinary energy/light effect that came from this pigeon’s eyes:

“Then one night as I was lying in my bed in the dark, solving problems, as usual, she flew in through the open window and stood on my desk. I knew she wanted me; she wanted to tell me something important so I got up and went to her.

“As I looked at her I knew she wanted to tell me—she was dying. And then, as I got her message, there came a light from her eyes—powerful beams of light.

“Yes,” he continued, again answering an unasked question, “it was a real light, a powerful, dazzling, blinding light, a light more intense than I had ever produced by the most powerful lamps in my laboratory.

“When that pigeon died, something went out of my life. Up to that time I knew with a certainty that I would complete my work, no matter how ambitious my program, but when that something went out of my life I knew my life’s work was finished.”2

As you might expect, the MPs for “dove” dominate the astrology for the moment of Tesla’s death and appear to accompany him on his journey home, as we shall see below when we look at Tesla’s death from the perspective of John Trump, the executor of Tesla’s scientific legacy.

Telluric Chicanery: The Office of Alien Property and the Teleforce

Upon Tesla’s death in 1943, the U.S. Office of Alien Property Custodian asked MIT High Energy researcher John Trump to collect and assess Tesla’s unpublished papers. Trump was no stranger to our government’s interest in advanced defense systems, having served on the National Defense Research Committee under Vannevar Bush since 1940 where he worked on V-1 rocket interception and directed radar deployments for the D-Day invasion.3

Clearly, Trump was uniquely qualified for the assignment, but when asked later on about the “death beam”, he always insisted that nothing had ever been found. I find this very hard to believe. In fact, the synastry between John Trump and Tesla’s death gives a very different answer to that question.

• Tesla Death: Jan 7 1943, 10:30 p.m., New York NY

• John G. Trump (JGT): 21 August, 1907, noon, New York, NY

The Truth about the Death Beam

We will use the following Minor Planets to assess the prospects for the government’s retrieval of Tesla’s Teleforce:

• MP Tesla

• MP Colombianus (Latin for dove, columba)

• MP Golubev (the word for “dove” in Serbian, Tesla’s native tongue)

• MP Telephus (for Teleforce, “death beam”)

• MP Schadow (what is hidden, cloaked)

• MP MasterMan (has shown relevance in many espionage charts)

MP MasterMan represents “spy craft” and is one of my Intelligence MPs. It is named for UK spymaster John Cecil Masterman who ran the Double-Cross System of agents in WW2. In Trump’s chart, we see it perfectly conjunct his Sun, which may shed some light as to the true nature of his role.

Given Tesla’s devotion to the Dove with the energetic eye beams, it is tempting to read significance into the Dove MPs in their nodal synastry. Is it as a sign that Trump somehow received the Dove’s “energetic transmission”? While worth noting, this is literally “over-Schadowed” by something far more intriguing to be seen in the charts.

As I was considering Professor Trump’s denial concerning the existence of any documentation for the “death beam”, the word chicanery came to mind. It seemed to fit with what was I seeing in the charts, and I wondered if there might be a MP to represent it.

The MP database has taught me to be flexible with my spelling, so when my initial search for “Chi***” yielded nothing, I searched for “Sch***”, and found MP Schadow. It became a last minute addition to the Trump/Tesla Death synastry.

Do you think it mere coincidence that MP 5265 Schadow, discovered in 1960,4 is numerically consecutive to the “death beam” significator, MP 5264 Telephus, which was discovered in 1991? If so, then explain their uncanny placements in the synastry, all orbs > 1°.

• JGT MP Schadow perfectly conjunct DEATH MP Telephus

  • opposite JGT Saturn

• DEATH MP Schadow perfectly conjunct DEATH Mercury

  • on TES POF opposite Pluto

• TES MP Schadow on JGT Sun MP MasterMan

  • opposite DEATH MP Tesla

• JGT MP Tesla perfectly conjunct DEATH Neptune

In addition, when MP Telephus was discovered on May 17, 1991, the Sun, conjunct Algol, was making a perfect square to MP MasterMan precisely on John Trump’ Sun MP MasterMan. Let that sink in. There is no way I can be persuaded to believe that the Teleforce died with Tesla. No way at all.

But with configurations like these, involving the planets for “deception” (Neptune) and “restriction” (Saturn), coupled with the MPs for “spy craft”, “shadow” and “death beam”, I doubt we will ever be told the truth.

Stay tuned! Tesla: Parts 2 and 3, coming soon.

Here he is! Our new BuckMaster!

With Trump’s announcement on Truth Social giving us a solid event chart, Warsh’s elevation warrants a quick update to my August, 2025 article. New readers will want to know that the term “BuckMaster” refers to Minor Planet BuckMaster, which has proven itself to be a worthy astrological ambassador for the Fed Chairman.

For context, you may wish to review my two previous articles about Kevin Warsh and the Federal Reserve.

As always, my aim is not to judge current events, but rather to use them to illustrate Minor Planet astrology, for we can all relate to a good mundane chart.

• Trump Post (TRUTH): 30 January 2026, 6:48 a.m., Washington DC

• Kevin Warsh (WARSH): 13 April 1970, noon, Albany, NY

• Federal Reserve (FED): 23 December 1913, 6:02 p.m., Jekyll Island, GA

FFGRV Bullseye

Last summer, when the Future Forecasting Group targeted “the next Fed Chairman”, Warsh was but a gleam in remote viewer Nyiam's eye. His data was rather alarming, however, in that it described the next Fed Chair as having certain unsavory attributes: “sleaziness”, “involved in some bad things”, and “he gets his cruelty fix sexually”. He picked Warsh because of his close resemblance to Nyiam’s sketches.

While your Minor Planet astrologer never seeks to emphasize the salacious, in this case, I was compelled to assess Warsh’s chart for those rather dark and kinky themes. But now, with his selection, there’s no more beating about the bush, is there?

Seen from the perspective of astrologer Gerry Born, who once said, “People usually tell you what their “kink” is in the first few moments of conversation”, what are we to make, then, of Warsh’s use of the words “discipline”, needing to be “fixed”, and “policeman” to describe his “monetary policy style”? This clip was immediately scrubbed, but not before yielding its clues in this regard.

Therefore, when a member of the Margo Amala: Astro Edge Discord group mentioned an interest in “666”, the number of Man, I was inspired to search for “MP 666”. It surprised me to find that the academically conservative IAU Naming Committee had actually seen fit to assign this controversial number to a near earth object they named “Desdemona”, of Shakespeare’s Othello. Who knows what prompted the Naming Committee to connect the victim of Iago’s intense sexual jealousy, misogyny, and repressed homoerotic desire for Othello1 to the number “666”, but there you have it.

Given the precise, hard, and Luciferian cast to Warsh’s natal chart, I felt justified in adding MP 666 to the current analysis for his selection. Take a moment to note:

• TRUTH AC Pluto on Fixed Star Tarazed, Plundering Falcon:

  • opposing TRUTH MP Gold

  • near Warsh’s MP Silver opposite his Moon MP Gold on TRUTH MP Swann

I take this to mean that the new BuckMaster will be instructed to use precious metal market dynamics to “even things out” in the Dollar/Debt landscape.

• TRUTH MP Banks on FED MP BuckMaster

  • opposing WARSH Sun MP Banks MP FredTresaure

• FED MP Banks MP FredTreasure on WARSH Chiron opposite Uranus

MP 666 and MP Lucifer

While Lucifer, the Light Bringer, can be viewed as a Promethean figure with humanity’s best interest at heart, he is also the Trickster. Regardless, he carries a very negative current cultural burden, as does “666”. It is not my place to argue either perspective as I invite each reader to draw his own conclusions from the following astrological facts:

MP 666 and MP BuckMaster are boldly and perfectly configured across this three-way synastry, which features an 11th house BuckMaster Stellium, involving a mix of MP BuckMaster, MP 666, MP Lucifer and MP Waterloo on Rasalhague, Head of the Snake”.

In particular, we see:

• TRUTH MP 666 MP Silver on WARSH Chiron opposite Uranus

• WARSH MP 666 on TRUTH POST MP BuckMaster MP Waterloo

  • square MP Lucifer

• FED MP 666 on Algol and WARSH Mars MP Lucifer MP Swann

Only time will tell, but with these indications, the best I can hope for is that the Promethean Force (MP Lucifer) will use Gold and Silver to free the USD (MP Buck) from the fiat death spiral of debt slavery established by TPTB on Jekyll Island.

With Warsh’s dynamic Chiron-Uranus axis on TRUTH MP Prometheus and his own MP Prometheus firmly on his North Node, we shall soon see which version shows up: the Trickster, or the Light Bearer.

You can learn how the Federal Reserve Group of Minor Planets was developed here:

On the morning of September 18, 1970, Monika Dannesen awoke in her apartment at London’s Samarkand Hotel to find her bedmate deceased beside her. And with that, the high alchemical music of Jimi Hendrix was gone from this world.

St Mary Abbots Hospital judged the cause of death to be an accident, due to “asphyxiation from a barbiturate overdose”.

Featured Minor Planets

In this article we will examine the correspondence of these Minor Planets in Jimi Hendrix’s message and death.

• MP JimiHendrix

• MP Angel

• MP Porta Coeli (Gate of Heaven)

• MP Thananon (homolog for thanatos, Greek for death)

• MP Morpheus (drug overdose during sleep)

• MP Samarkand (name of hotel where he died)

• MP Saint-Marys (hospital where he was pronounced dead)

• MP Monika (she was with him when he died)

Fender Stratocaster

(Imagine playing like that guy. Look at the expression on the policeman’s face.)

Known for his unorthodox style, his guitar of choice was the iconic pre-CBS Stratocaster, considered the most influential guitar of all time. Although left-handed, he played the right-handed model, upside-down and restrung for a left-handed grip, which reversed the pickups and string tension, adding to his unique sound.

For those wishing to do more research, I will point out there are two Minor Planets available to represent his Stratocasters. Normally, I would use the stronger of the two, but, for reason of the multitude of Strats he played and their equal strength across the analysis, I feel the use of both is justified.

• MP Strateva

• MP Stratton

MP Angel

His posthumous album, Cry of Love, has a track entitled “Angel”. Are you familiar with the lyrics? If not, you may want to read them before going on.

• JIMI MP Angel trine his Neptune: an Angel in harmony with his music, the “high over yonder”, drug poisoning, and death - all are attributes of Neptune

To call him “innovative” would be an understatement. Jimi was born with an Aquarian South Node in the 3rd, North Node conjunct Regulus, the “Heart of the Lion”, and nodal dispositors, Sun and Uranus, in perfect opposition, a very strong placement.

• JIMI Uranus MP Angel MP Strattonia square MP Stratteva: this certainly describes his “high electric” Stratocaster unorthodoxy

Jimi Hendrix

• Jimi Hendrix (JIMI): 27 November 1942, 10:15 a.m., Seattle, WA

• Death (DEATH): 18 September 1970, 11:25 a.m., London, ENG

Now, let’s look at his chart in synastry with his death:

I have found that the IC and nodes of a death chart are very often significant, as if forming an exit ramp for the departing Soul. We can see their importance in Jimi’s death synastry, accompanied by both MP Angels.

• DEATH IC NN MP Angel on JIMI SN square JIMI MP Angel, quincunx his exalted Jupiter Moon: as the lyrics say: “About the sweet love between the moon and the deep blue sea (Jupiter, traditional ruler of Pisces and oceans)

• DEATH IC NN MP Angel in T-square to JIMI Uranus MP Angel MP Strateva opposition JIMI Sun Mercury: the end of this guitar genius

MP Morpheus, MP Porta Coeli, and MP Thananon

My research with MP Morpheus has shown it to be a valid indicator of both dreams and drugs, not to mention international shenanigans. At the time of Jimi’s death, transiting MP Morpheus was making its return to its natal position opposite natal Moon MP Thananon, giving us, coincidentally, the first test of MP Thananon to represent death.

• DEATH Sun Pluto MP Strattonia trine both MP Morpheus’, opposition JIMI Jupiter Moon MP Thananon: the day the music died from a drug overdose

• Death MP Truth on JIMI Jupiter Moon MP Thananon: seems to second that interpretation, affirming the drug overdose as cause of death

MP Porta Coeli, which means “Gate of Heaven”, was also making a return to its natal placement, with DEATH MP Thananon opposing by transit.

• DEATH MP Thananon opposite both MP Porta Coeli’s: seems to indicate where the Angel is taking him, “high over yonder”, through Heaven’s Gate.

MP Samarkand, MP Saint-Marys, MP Monika

Let’s look now at the Minor Planets representing the place of death and the person he was with at the time, Monika Danneman.

• Monika Danneman (MON): 8 November 1946, noon, Dusseldorf, GER

Here is the synastry between Jimi, Monika, and his death:

In a nutshell, each Place Name MP, every Heaven/Death MP, and both Name MPs make significant synastry aspects, with orbs <1°.

• MON MP Monika MP Samarkand on JIMI Morpheus DEATH Morpheus

• DEATH Mars MP Monika square JIMI 12: the sleeping pills he took were Monika’s Rx

• DEATH Sun Pluto MP Samarkand MP Saint-Marys MP Strattonia sextile JIMI Moon Jupiter MP Thananon; trine MP Morpheus: the music died at the hotel, pronounced dead at hospital, seemingly with the blessing of Jimi’s exalted Jupiter Moon with MP Thananon

• DEATH AC on Zuben Algenubi opposing JIMI MP Saint-Marys: a star noted for poisoning or drowning, pronounced dead at hospital from drowning in his own vomit due to barbiturate overdose

• DEATH AC on MON Sun: she witnessed his death

• DEATH MP Porta Coeli conjunct JIMI Porta Coeli in T-square to DEATH Uranus opposition Chiron: it was a sudden, unexpected death, with an exit through the Heavenly Gates

For those interested in secondary measurements (not shown), you will find the following in Jimi’s chart progressed to the date of his death:

• Prog Moon conjunct Prog MP JimiHendrix on natal 8, opposing Prog MP Morpheus: legendary for its exquisite timing, the Progressed Moon said it was time to go

• Prog MP Samarkand conjunct Prog SN opposite Alphard: the hotel moved into orb of Jimi’s destiny (SN) on a star noted for musical expression, sudden death by poison or drowning, and problems with love affairs and drugs

• Prog Venus on natal 12: loved in death, embracing death

• Prog MP Angel has backed up onto Algol: just doing its job

Monika’s Death

Monika committed suicide in 1996 after losing two libel suits. In this simple illustration of her death, we see the action of the Suicide Star Hoedus 1, as well as MP Porta Coeli, MP Morpheus and MP Monika.

• DEATH MP Monika on natal Moon, opposition DEATH Moon on MP Porta Coeli: the “doorway” out for Monika

• DEATH AC on Hoedus I on her Uranus: a sudden impulse for suicide based on legal troubles (DEATH Jupiter square Sun NN)

Cry of Love

Jimi Hendrix was deeply in debt when he died, but his musical legacy has made millions. His posthumous Cry of Love album was released on 5 March 1971:

• CRY Mars on Jimi’s AC: how did the producer know?

• CRY MP JimiHendrix in JIMI 12th house trine JIMI POF: riches in death

• CRY MP Porta Coeli on DEATH IC MP Angel NN: indicating the posthumous release

Restless and unable to sleep in the hours before his death, Jimi Hendrix jotted down the lyrics to a new song, “The Story of Life”:

I will count on that. Miss you, Jimi.

The themes of “dark money”, “extortion”, “Ukraine”, and Lindsey Graham coalesced in my stream today, which prompted me to look at the Senator’s chart in synastry with that of the Department of Justice.

Recently, we met the rather exotic MP VIMS in the matter of Ukrainian money shenanigans and the US Senate. MP VIMS, a homolog for the Ukrainian word “extort”, made an impressive debut. If you missed that article, I recommend you give it a quick look before proceeding: "Pentagram".

• Lindsey Graham (SEN): 9 July 1955, noon, Central, SC

• Department of Justice (DOJ): 1 July 1870, noon, Washington, D.C.

Look at what I found:

Algol Nexus

DOJ MP Graham and MP Black, and Graham’s own MP Graham, are conjunct Algol, the Most Evil star, and are part of one of his “Extortion Yods” (purple).

Extortion Yods

We see Mr. Graham’s natal MP VIMS in yod to his Neptune (deceit) sextile Pluto (coercion) and MP Volodymyr, Zelinsky’s first name. Note that MP Waterloo sits on the midpoint. MP Waterloo, which carries the image of “downfall at the hands of a tactically superior enemy”, was also prominent in the US Senate and Ukraine extortion synastry. The second Extortion Yod involves MP VIMS and the “Algol Nexus” to his Neptune, as well.

Not looking good, Mr. Graham.

Transits

• Pluto is on SEN Chiron in yod to his Venus ($$$) sextile MP Black: dark money crisis?

• Saturn on his MP VIMS: time to pay the piper?

• Chiron and MP VIMS on both the DOJ and Graham’s MP Senator: Extortion crisis seems dialed in for Mr. Graham.

Even though the DOJ’s MP VIMS is bang on Mr. Graham’s Saturn, indicating he might be made to “pay up”, I still don’t expect much. But I sure do love seeing a great Minor Planet do its thing. Simply beautiful.

As usual, all orbs <1°, unless in a stellium.

This piece is rather long, so settle in with a cup of coffee, and let’s begin.

Sandy Hook

On the morning of December 14, 2012, Adam Lanza shot his mother to death before proceeding to Sandy Hook Elementary School. He would take 28 lives including his own that day, 20 of them belonging to children.

On the way to school that morning, 6 year-old Jesse Lewis traced the words “I love you” in the frost on his mother’s car window. Barely an hour later, he would find himself amidst the chaos of his classroom, shouting “Run!” as Adam Lanza paused to reload his Bushmaster semi-automatic rifle. Jesse did not waste those critical seconds. He bravely faced the gunman and used that precious time to direct nine of his classmates to safety before Adam Lanza shot him in the head.

Just a few days before his murder, Jesse had a very bad dream. He made a drawing of what he had seen, and called it “The Angel and the Bad Man”, reproduced here with the permission of his mother, Scarlett Lewis.

We will explore two broad themes: that of the Angel, and that of its counterpart, the Bad Man, whose astrology is carried by two separate, but related forces, Evil and its sidekick, the Spirit of Possession. We will also examine the charts for clues about the ultimate meaning of this terrible event.

While the base chart for our analysis is that of Jesse Lewis, let’s first take a look at the Sandy Hook school shooting for context.

• Sandy Hook Shooting (SAND): 14 December 2012, 9:35 a.m., Sandy Hook, CT

Here is the chart, without any MPs:

In simplest terms:

• Pisces Neptune Chiron in 1: spiritual crisis event

• Sagittarius Sun in 11: much media attention, message of philosophical ideals

• Capricorn Pluto Moon Mars in 12: deeply buried anger explodes; angry at “the system”; raw emotional force; psychological compulsion; powerful sacrifice

• Elements disposited by Pluto in 12:

  • Scorpio MC NN Venus in 10: the “job” of Sandy Hook is to expose the hidden factors and failures that led to the sacrifice; to teach loving compassion at a deep, transformative level

  • Scorpio Saturn in 9: lessons learned about the danger of buried anger; teaching fairness and love

Jesse McCord Lewis

Now, let’s meet Jesse, the young hero who was murdered after saving nine of his classmates:

• Jesse Lewis (JES): 30 June 2006, 6:03 p.m., Danbury, CT (birth data shared with his mother’s kind permission).

Jesse’s Yods at 8° between Sun, Moon, Chiron and Ascendant carry the image of someone who came here on a mission. Notice that Jesse’s Sun is perfectly conjunct MP Angel, just 1° from his 8th house cusp, with Moon in perfect sextile. Jesse‘s mission was certainly aligned with his Angel, but Chiron on the Sun/Moon midpoint presented a crisis that cost him his life.

• Chiron quincunx Sun on 8; quincunx Moon

• Sun on 8 quincunx AC

Look back at Jesse’s chart for a moment. Do you see the Angel in the Yod aspects? His head is on Jesse’s Sun MP Angel. Quite remarkable.

Also note the position of MP McCord, his middle name, on Jesse’s AC. Jesse was named for a special great-grandfather who is remembered for his bravery, wits, and adventurous spirit, just as his namesake Jesse is.

These Yods at 8° involve the Fixed Star Adhab in the constellation of the sacrificial maiden Andromeda, where, as legend has it, the dark planet Dybbuk lurks deep within her domain. We will see further down the important role it plays in the fulfillment of Jesse’s mission.

The Angel and the Bad Man

Now we will test the validity of the MPs to represent Jesse’s dream of “the Angel and the Bad Man” by synastry with the Sandy Hook Shooting (SAND) chart, all orbs < 1°:

• MP Angel

• MP Malus (Latin for “bad”)

• MP Schott (homolog for “shot”)

• MP Morpheus (the god of dreams)

MP Angel

• SAND MP Angel on JES Moon sextile JES Sun MP Angel

It is quite poignant to see that at the moment of the shooting SAND MP Angel was a mere two minutes of arc beyond Jesse’s natal Moon. This seems to affirm his Angel’s comforting presence amidst the violence of the events that surrounded him and his classmates. It also confirms the natal placement of JES MP Angel on his Sun, reassuring us that Jesse was covered at birth, and at death, by the unequivocal presence of his Angel, strengthening him for his mission.

MP Malus, MP Schott, and MP Morpheus

• JES MP Malus MP Schott (red)

  • opposite JES Uranus MP Morpheus synastry SAND MP Adam: Adam embodied the “Bad Man shooting” from the dream

• JES Angel Yod to JES Chiron on SAND Morpheus (purple): the dream fulfilled in Sandy Hook

• SAND Sun MP Malus on JES Pluto: discussed below

These elements clearly confirm the validity of these MPs as emblems of the dream. They also specify the involvement of Adam Lanza through the significant placement of SAND MP Adam in alignment with JES MP Schott, representing the violent act that connected them.

The meaning is self-evident. We can see it all with just these five MPs: the dream, the Angel and the Bad Man, the gun violence, and Adam Lanza.

The Message

When Jesse’s mother returned home after identifying his body at the school, no heart could have been more broken. Like many parents in those days, she kept a chalkboard in the kitchen for family messages. Out of habit, she glanced at it as she came in.

There, in Jesse’s ebullient childish hand, she read a message she’d overlooked in the scramble of the school day morning: “NoRuRtiNg HeLinn LoVe”, which translates into grown-up as “Nurturing, healing, love.”

As she took in the meaning of Jesse’s message, Scarlett had an epiphany. She knew she was meant to take his message of love to the world.

Speaking of the message he left on the chalkboard, she said, “He knew he didn’t have a lot of time. He wanted to leave a message of comfort for us, and inspiration for the World. This is what we need to survive and thrive.”

This became the impetus for her Jesse Lewis Choose Love Movement, aka “Choose Love”, whose mission is to teach others how to choose love over anger. While Scarlett Lewis has received worldwide attention and many honors for her tireless work in this regard, she would be quick to say that the only thing that matters is choosing love.

Remarkably, there is an MP LewisLove.

I believe you will be impressed by its role in the charts, where it helps us see the force of Love at work in Sandy Hook on that terrible day. Before we conclude with a look at MP LewisLove, we have one last chart to consider.

• Adam Lanza (ADAM): 22 April 1992, noon, Kingston, NH

Adam, Jesse and the Angel

When I look at the synastry between Jesse Lewis and Adam Lanza, I am struck by the perfection in the orbs of the extraordinary action of MP Angel. It is simply elegant. MP Angel was on Jesse’s Sun at birth, on his Moon as he died, and on his Pluto when Adam confronted him. The Angel had them both covered. The Angel was always with them.

But to fully understand the Angel, we must find the missing element to complete the T-square (red) implied by their synastry. Taking our cue from the gestalt of “explosive, buried anger” in the Sandy Hook 12th house, whose Mars just happens to be perfectly conjunct MP Angers, we must go deeper for the answers.

Adhab, MP Clingan and MP Messenger

When Jesse was born, the Fixed Star Adhab at 8°was tightly configured in his chart and significant across the synastries. Its association with the hidden planet Dybbuk ties it to the Jewish folk tradition of the dybbuk: “an evil spirit which enters into a living person, cleaves to his soul, causes mental illness” which must be exorcized1.

I added MP Clingan, a homolog for “clinging”, to represent the dybbuk, and MP Messenger to stand for Jesse’s last message.

Let’s look again at the previous chart, this time with the addition of MP Clingan and MP Messenger. See how they perfectly complete the T-square to MP Adam on Jesse’s Midheaven, with orbs < 1°.

Suddenly, Jesse’s 1st house Pluto is activated. On the day of the shooting, the Sun ignites this powerful figure, showing us that both he and Adam had roles to play in bringing us “the message”.

• JES T-square: MC square Pluto opposite MP Clingan MP Messenger

  • ADAM MP Adam on JES MC

• SAND Sun MP Malus transit

  • JES Pluto

  • ADAM MP Angel

This is affirmed by his mother’s chart, seen in this detail of her synastry (red) with Jesse.

She is the one who created the meme of “Choose Love” to carry Jesse’s message to the world:

• MOM Solar Stellium with MP Messenger on JES MP Messenger MP Clingan: activates Choose Love message with robust passion

This tightly configured nexus, surrounded by Jesse’s Sun MP Angel and his loving Venus on his DC, smothers the dybbuk with Love. What better astrological representation for “choosing love to conquer hate” than this.

It shows how the dybbuk, or “possessing demonic spirit”, is connected to what happened at Sandy Hook, and how Adam carried it for the sake of the message.

What do you suppose happened to Adam that the dybbuk might attach to him?

MP Sherlock

There is a certain critical facet of the Sandy Hook story that, until this writing, has never been publicly discussed. It concerns Mary Sherlach, the Sandy Hook school counselor, who was among the first to be shot that day.

While it is well known that Adam Lanza was repeatedly bullied as a young student at Sandy Hook, the nature of the school system’s response to his plight has been obscured. When Adam began to show signs of severe emotional distress, his family sought the help of counselor Mary Sherlach, but she denied them the special services to address his social and emotional needs. This important element, which speaks to the “why” of the tragedy, was never included in the official report.

Mary Sherlach (SHER): 11 February 1956, Endicott, NY

We will use MP Sherlock as a homolog to represent her. We will see that Adam’s MP Sherlock is perfectly conjunct his South Node, “where things should be safe”, while her own MP Sherlock is on the IC, “the birth or origin”, of the shooting itself.

Let’s move on now to our final point of analysis, that of MP LewisLove.

MP LewisLove

This multi-synastry graphic includes the three principle charts, along with those for Mary Sherlach (SHER), Scarlett Lewis (MOM) and the Choose Love Movement (LOV).

Take a moment to study it.

Judging by this chart alone, where all six of the individual MP LewisLove’s are significantly configured with each other, and with five of the nodal pairs, I’d have to say that the murders at Sandy Hook, horrific as they are, were a vector from Love into our reality, meant to awaken us to our numbness and failure. Its all about choosing Love.

• ADAM NN MP LewisLove on SAND 12 opposition ADAM MP Sherlock: Mary Sherlach was one of the first people Adam killed at the school

• SHER MP LewisLove MP Sherlock on SAND IC: she “underpins” the shooting

• SAND MP LewisLove

  • opposition ADAM Sun on JES MP LewisLove: Adam’s role in Jesse’s death brought about Choose Love

  • conjunct LOV NN MP LewisLove: the tragic deaths at Sandy Hook gave life to Choose Love

• MOM MP LewisLove MP Angers on SHER MP LewisLove MP Sherlock: Jesse’s mother felt anger after learning that Adam had been denied the counseling help he so clearly needed; this fueled her conviction to “Choose Love “

Scarlett Lewis has repeatedly stated that “if only someone had helped Adam, his need to express his anger in such a harmful way might have been avoided”. She has never felt anger or blame towards Adam himself, only towards those who failed him.

Afterword

MP LewisLove was just another random near earth object, minding its own business way out there in space, until we tapped him on the shoulder. He’d never even thought about being in a chart, much less of taking the lead. But he has proven his ability to contribute to our understanding of what really happened at Sandy Hook, an event that united the shooter and the slain in the delivery of a message that seems orchestrated by Heaven.

Yes, there was Evil that day, but the meaning of Sandy Hook is clear: when we forget to love, or anger is allowed to fester, Evil will always come to the fore. The sacrifice of Jesse, Adam and the others who died at Sandy Hook reminds us of what can happen when Evil has its way.

Scarlett Lewis and the Choose Love Movement continue their global outreach to educators, students, military and other organizations by providing the Choose Love curriculum, offered freely to any who wish to adopt it.

So remember, if you ever find yourself face to face with Evil, just do what Jesse did.

Be brave and choose Love.

My sincere thanks to Jesse’s mother, Scarlett Lewis, for entrusting his chart to me. I hope she will recognize Jesse in the pictures I have drawn from his astrology and that my interpretation will, in some small way, affirm his heroic legacy of Love.

What is a Minor Planet ?

The focus of Star Maps Substack is to explore the astrological use of what are called Minor Planets, otherwise known as “near earth objects”. These are housed in a massive database maintained by the Minor Planet Center under the auspices of the International Astronomical Union. While this database of 1.5 million near earth objects is constantly updated, only a small fraction of them have been named, to date: < 30,000.

Over the past ten years, I have endeavored to test and define the astrological validity of the named Minor Planets. Given the sheer volume of data they represent, I found it helpful to create guidelines to reduce the extraneous “noise” of having too much information. When these guidelines are followed, the Minor Planets have shown an uncanny, often shocking, elegance in their coherence to theme.

How to Choose a Minor Planet

• Direct correspondence

  • MP Nanking for Treaty of Nanking

• Extension

  • MP Zhongguo for China (Zhongguo is “China” in Chinese)

• Implication

  • MP Morpheus for the Opium Wars (opium-derived morphine was named after Morpheus)

Be Careful with Orbs

Use orbs < 1°, unless the MP is in a very tight stellium.

Ukraine’s jam-packed 7th house provides a good example:

• MP Senator, MP Black, MP Buck, and MP Waterloo, all within 4°28’ of each other.

Choosing Between Multiple Minor Planets

You will often find a number of MPs that reference the same target name. Let’s use the example of a client named Neil Smith, whose wife is named Anne. For all three of these names, there are a great many candidates.

To pick the ones that are significant, simply enter all the possible MPs and look for those with the most exact orbs and meaningful placements. Then add a significant synastry chart to further compare.

Here we see that “Neil”, the husband MP, and “Anne”, the spouse MP, and the surname MP all show precise alignment.

Unusual Ways to Find a Minor Planet

When the normal ways to find a Minor Planet fail to yield results, don’t give up. The IAU Minor Planet List is an international database, and spellings often differ from their English equivalents:

• Searching for “Socrates” will fail, but “Sokrates” works.

I’ve also found instances where an MP name is a homolog, or “sounds like”, the target term:

• “Liszt” for “list”

Go By the Numbers

When the event or theme you are researching is a number, don’t hesitate to use it. An excellent example of this is “911”, for the September 11 Twin Tower Attacks. I found that MP 911, which was named for Agamemnon, worked flawlessly across all the charts for that event.

Here we see the Sun position in the chart for the North Tower attack. It is perfectly conjunct MP 911 (Agamemnon) on the 12th house cusp:

Here, in synastry with the World Trade Center incorporation chart (red), is WTC MP 911 (Agamemnon) on the IC of the North Tower attack. This implies that the origin of the attack had something to do with WTC, Inc. and its owner.

Using an Unnamed Minor Planet

I have found one instance that justifies the use of an unnamed MP. In researching Nikola Tesla’s patent for the first robotic device, the Telautomaton, I used the patent number itself: 613809. MP 613809 has no name, but it was clearly significant in all of the related charts.

Here is just one synastry example: Nikola Tesla (blue) and Telautomaton Patent (red). Tesla’s natal Sun is perfectly conjunct MP 613809, which trines the Patent Sun conjunct MP Tesla. (And while we are here with Mr. Tesla, I can’t resist pointing out that Tesla’s MP Tesla is perfectly conjunct the Patent MP Robot.)

Minor Planet Humor

If nothing else, the Minor Planets have a great sense of humor. I will add more examples in future, but for now will simply post this recent jest about my upcoming move:

(More will be added here from time to time . . .)1

The US Senate has a birth chart, cast for the day of its first quorum: 6 April 1789, New York, NY. As we continue to apply strict Minor Planet (MP) orbs of < 1°, I note with interest the following:

• MP Senator conjunct Algol: let us hope this is more about Medusa’s “Head of Wisdom” than her less savory attributes.

• MP Zelinsky perfectly conjunct MP Ukraine: what a surprise!

• Pluto conjunct MP Black: dark dealings, a theme we will explore further down

• Moon conjunct MP Waterloo: vulnerable to military downfall

• Sun conjunct MP VIMS: an English homologue for “extort” in Ukrainian

Pentagram

I have applied Uranian harmonics to the US Senate chart (SEN) by adapting Bradley Cowan’s Pentagonal Time Cycle Theory. While Cowan focused his research on financial markets, I find his Uranian measurements can be valid with any chart when the pentagram is aligned to either transiting or natal Uranus. In the case of the SEN chart, I have calibrated the pentagram to it’s 0° Uranus.

It seems highly significant to me that the internal pentagram in the US Senate chart connects Uranus to MP Zelinsky and MP Ukraine, and that Pluto is casting a Uranian harmonic by transit to all three of these points right now.

Additional harmonic transits in support of the Ukrainian theme:

• MP Deception: pentagonal and opposing SEN MP Zelinsky MP Ukraine

• MP Zelinsky: pentagonal and applying to SEN Sun MP VIMS, as transiting MP VIMS and Chiron oppose SEN Neptune.

The Senate

Before we test the validity of MP VIMS to represent “extortion”, we must first ask the question: why would extortion even come to mind when thinking of the US Senate? Is it a meaningful theme? After all, Merriam Webster says extortion is “the act or practice of extorting especially money or other property; especially: the offense committed by an official engaging in such practice”.

But for the sake of argument, let’s assume we do have reason to look for the theme of extortion in the US Senate chart. What next? What do you do when there is no MP Extortion? Well, as my father would say, you use your noggin!

Caution: a “willy-nilly” approach to Minor Planet astrology will get you nowhere, and everywhere, very quickly. Experience has taught me that when pulling an obscure Minor Planet into a chart, it is best to have several very good reasons for doing so.

How to Choose a Minor Planet

• Direct correspondence

  • MP Nanking for Treaty of Nanking

• Extension

  • MP Zhongguo for China (Zhongguo is “China” in Chinese)

• Implication

  • MP Morpheus for the Opium Wars (opium-derived morphine was named after Morpheus)

Be Careful with Orbs

Use orbs < 1°, unless the MP is in a very tight stellium.

From a chart related to our theme today, Ukraine’s jam-packed 7th house provides a good example:

• MP Senator, MP Black, MP Buck, and MP Waterloo, all within 4°28’ of each other.

This stellium makes a tight trine to Ukraine’s MP VIMS at 26°Sagittarius, suggesting that US Senate “dark dollars” have a financial relationship to Ukraine through its 11th house MP VIMS. I wonder if this might be a reciprocal dynamic?

Unusual Ways to Find a Minor Planet

When the normal ways to find a Minor Planet fail to yield results, don’t give up. The IAU Minor Planet List is an international database, and spellings often differ from their English equivalents:

• Searching for “Socrates” will fail, but “Sokrates” works.

I’ve also found instances where an MP name “sounds like” the target term:

• “Liszt” for “list”

MP VIMS sounds like the root of the Ukrainian word for “extort” vymahaty.

MP VIMS: Does it work for “extortion”?

Let’s use Ukraine as a related chart to test the validity of MP VIMS, which we first noticed on the US Senate Sun, shown here in close proximity to its MP Volodymyr and MP MANIAC.

(UKR) Ukraine, 24 August 1991, 6:00 p.m., Kiev, UA.

Ukraine has long been known as the money-laundering capitol of the world. See how MP VIMS, for “extortion”, is significantly placed in the 11th house of gains at the tip of a powerful Yod from MP Volodymyr and Algol, “Volodymyr” being Zelensky’s first name, of course.

To Chinese astronomers, Algol was known as Tseih She or “Piled-up Corpses.” This Yod perfectly combines both the mechanism for profit (extortion) and the true cost of this war with its staggering loss of life.

Remember that SEN MP Senator is also on Algol.

Dark and Plutonic: the Senate’s Black Yod

Having verified MP VIMS in a related chart, let’s turn our attention back to the US Senate chart where we see the perfect conjunction of SEN Pluto and MP Black at 18° Aquarius, in sextile to SEN Sun MP VIMS at 16/17°Aries.

When two planets are in sextile, their position implies a Yod drawn from their midpoint, in this case, to 17/18° Virgo. I have found that when a significant synastry populates this point, the Yod will be expressed.

We can imagine that extortion (MP VIMS) and dark money (Pluto MP Black) have, on occasion, found expression when the Senate’s Black Yod was completed. As President Eisenhauer warned, “Beware the Military-Industrial complex.”

Here are some examples to illustrate:

• Pearl Harbor NN at 18° Virgo: fulcrum to nullify civilian war hesitancy

• Japan (Meiji) MP Senator at 17° Virgo: some in the Senate must have known

• General George Patton MP Yen at 18° Virgo: he knew about the “take”. In 1937 Patton, then an intelligence officer, warned about attack on Pearl .1

  

• Twin Towers Attack Sun on MP 911 at 18° Virgo: surely someone knew

• Voldymyr Zelensky’s MP Bucks at 18° Virgo: seems quite apt

Although his connection to the US Senate is obscure, I find it fascinating that infamous Ukrainian arms dealer, Leonid Minin, has MP Black at this point, as well.

“Ukraine once held the Soviet Union’s arsenal valued at a staggering $90 billion after the Union’s dissolution, according to the International Institute for Strategic Studies. Dževad Galijašević a former intelligence officer in Bosnia, witnessed how weapons from Leonid Minin ended up in the hands of mujahideen during the Bosnian war.”2

The Last Word: MP Waterloo

Named for Napoleon’s defining loss, MP Waterloo carries the image of military downfall at the hands of a tactically superior enemy. Keep in mind that the both the US Senate and Ukraine have exact aspects to MP Waterloo in their respective charts, and across their synastry.

• UKR Moon opposite MP Waterloo: instrumental in the downfall of a partner

• SEN Moon conjunct MP Waterloo: Achilles heel, military-related downfall

• UKR Sun Venus on SEN Moon MP Waterloo: will a spotlight on Ukraine’s funding cause a downfall for the Senate?

Thank you for your time spent reading this post. I hope it encourages you to use the Minor Planets in your own work. Your comments and suggestions are always welcome.

This post will attempt to illustrate how the Minor Planets can augment the understanding of what is surely life’s most devastating event: the loss of a child to suicide. Since the COVID lockdowns, we have seen the incidence of suicide among the young grow to horrifying proportions, and so I write about a hard, hard topic on this beautiful Thanksgiving Day.

We will look at the synastry between the natal chart of a young man (SON) and the event of his tragic death by suicide (SUI). The Minor Planets that represent father and son have anonymized:

• MP Son

• MP Dad

• MP Surname

There are two other MPs with a curious name connection to both men that seems to echo across the chart. Given the strength of Neptune, I think it justified. See what you think:

• MP DadSong

• MP SonSong

Other MPs represent the name of the business they owned together:

• MP Work 1

• MP Work 2

For the sake of their privacy, I will give no more details.

Moons and Nodes

When I drew up the figures that comprise this synastry, I was struck by the poignant gesture of each Moon: transiting Moon on natal Pluto, exact; transiting Neptune on natal Moon, exact, and squared by the transiting Nodal Axis.

I’ve often found the action of the NN to be significant in death charts, as if it were an exit ramp or directional vector for the departing Soul. In this case, the stars seem to confirm it. See how the NN is perfectly conjunct Fixed Stars Hoedus 1 and 2, which some interpreters associate with suicide, a compelling connection in this case.

• SON MP Surname opposite SUI MP Surname: image of father losing son

• SON MP Son on SUI MP SonSong opposition SUI MP Work 2: son “singing good bye” to what they created together

• SUI MP DadSong Mars exact opposite SUI Moon SON Pluto: song of indescribable pain, anger?

• SUI Neptune on SON Moon square SUI NN Hoedus

I find this last point, that of Moon’s aspect to North Node on Hoedus, to be a most reassuring and loving figure. It’s as if Neptune has its arms around the young man’s Moon and is directing his attention home.

I realize this is an extremely difficult topic, but if I were to have the honor of consulting with the family, I believe they would be comforted to see the beauty, love and spiritual promise held within the astrology of this utter agony and loss.

Black Swan

We will look for indications of a Black Swan event in this short analysis of the charts for the NYSE, the Gold Fix, and Silver Futures under a transit identified earlier today by financial astrologer Margo Amala, who noticed the upcoming conjunction of MP Short and Uranus on November 23, 2025. Margo’s post is on her Discord, Margo Amala: Astro Edge.

We will be using the following Minor Planets:

• MP Black

• MP Swann

• MP Short

• MP Gold

• MP Silver

The Uranus MP Short Conjunction: November 23, 2025

This chart will orient you to the transit itself. See the Mystic Rectangle created by the conjunction. It involves Uranus, MP Short, POF, Pluto, MP Satoshi, MP Swann, and the Sun.

The Mystic Rectangle also includes Tarazed, a fixed star in Aquila at 1° Aquarius, conjunct Pluto.

Tarazed

In Western cosmology, Tarazed is called “The Plundering Falcon”, but to the Koori people of Australia, it is known as “The Children of the Black Swan”. This certainly adds a layer of significance to Pluto’s current position, with import for all manner of situations.

I will use UMPS to abbreviate the name of this chart, and I will refer to the “Tarazed Pluto opposition MP Satoshi MP Swann” figure as the “Tarazed axis”.

Now, let’s see its action in the market charts.

NYSE

Buttonwood Agreement: 17 May 1792, 7:53:20 LMT, New York NY

Here we see:

• UMPS Uranus MP Short, very near NYSE Sun Algol, opposition UMPS Sun

• UMPS Moon MP Black:

  • on NYSE DSC opposition NYSE Chiron

  • square NYSE Moon MP Swann

• UMPS Mars on NYSE MP Black square UMPS Nodes

Notice that the Tarazed axis aligns closely with the NYSE 2/8 axis of endings and loss.

Gold Fix

Gold Fix: 12 September 1919, 11:00 a.m., London

In the Gold Fix chart we see:

• Tarazed axis aligns with GOLD MP Gold

• UMPS Uranus MP Short aligns with GOLD Nodal axis

This certainly puts direct pressure on Gold.

Silver Futures

Silver Futures: 5 July 1933, 10:05 a.m., Chicago

Here we see:

• UMPS SN on SILVER MP Silver

• UMPS Uranus MP Short opposes SILVER MP Gold

• Tarazed axis aligns with SILVER Venus: the Plundering Falcon and Black Swan Children want to “transform” Silver’s value?

• UMPS Moon MP Black opposes SILVER MP Swann: this tightens the focus of the orb for the Black Swan event Margo is watching for.

  

Timings

More research is needed to increase our confidence in the ability of these and other Minor Planets to “read the markets”, but this small analysis is a good example of how Minor Planets can add timing and nuance to chart analysis. Note the sensitive degrees in these charts, and watch for aspects from the faster moving planets, such as Moon transit Tarazed on November 25.

Those of you who follow my writing here will recall the recent article about Mayor-elect Mamdani, Mamdani and the Plundering Falcon , where I first discussed Tarazed.

Mundane astrology is interesting because it involves the charts of people and events well-known to us all, which is why I use it to show practical astrological technique with an emphasis on the IAU’s Minor Planets (MP). In this piece, we will look at how a subset of those MPs associated with the theme of Communism present themselves in the charts of Communism’s past leaders, organizations, and in the chart of New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani.

Although I have identified some 15 MPs whose names are associated with Communism, we will confine ourselves to these few:

• 2250 Stalingrad (for Joseph Stalin)

• 26793 Bolshoi (for Bolshevik)

• 852 Wladilena (“Vladimir Ilyich Lenin”, a contraction of his name)

• 2807 Karl Marx

• 29829 Engels

• 28787 PeterPinko - someone has a sense of humor?

• 1283 Komsomolia (All-Union Leninist Young Communist League)

Before looking at Mamdani’s chart, lets’s test the validity of these MPs in the charts of a few well-known people and events connected to Communism. For the sake of brevity, I am only showing conjunctions. However, those who wish to delve deeper will be rewarded with a multitude of fascinating natal and synastry combinations.

MP Karl Marx, MP Engels, MP PeterPinko

Using Josef Stalin’s chart (6 December 1878 jul., noon, Gori, GE) in Fig.1, we see:

• STALIN Sun is perfectly conjunct MP Karl Marx

• STALIN Moon is conjunct MP Engel

• STALIN Saturn is perfectly conjunct MP PeterPinko

MP Stalingrad

In Fig. 2, we see two details from the natal charts of Karl Marx (5 May 1818, 2 a.m., Trier, GER) and Friedrich Engels (28 November 1820, 9 p.m., Barmen, GER), both of whose birth times are reasonably well established:

• MP Stalingrad on MARX DC

• MP Stalingrad on ENGELS DC

See how Marx and Engels, Communism’s two intellectual fathers, reach out through the 7th house to their inheritor, Josef Stalin. I found this figurative lineage in many of the charts I studied for this analysis, along with a preponderance of Sun, Moon, and nodal patterns typically seen in parent/child synastry.

MP Bolshoi

I was curious to see if this MP, named for the Bolshoi Ballet, would function as a stand-in for “Bolshevik”. In Russian, “bolshoi” means “big”, while “bolshevik” means “majority”. Let’s take a look at its position in the chart for the starting date of the Bolshevik Revolution (7 November 1917, Petrograd, RU):

• BOLS Sun perfectly conjunct MP Bolshoi

• BOLS Jupiter perfectly conjunct MP Wladilena, Lenin’s namesake

Communist Party USA (CPUSA)

The chart for its founding (1 September 1919, New York, NY), in Fig. 4, shows:

• CPUSA Pluto perfectly conjunct MP Engels

• CPUSA Mercury is perfectly conjunct MP Stalingrad

• CPUSA Sun conjunct MP Karl Marx

• CPUSA Venus perfectly conjunct MP Wladilena

MP Komsomolia, MP Harrington and the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA)

The DSA (20 March 1982, New York, NY) is the largest Socialist organization in America. It was founded by Michael Harrington (24 February 1928, 5:10 pm, St. Louis, MO). We will use MP Harrington as his namesake. MP Komsomolia, named for the All-Union Leninist Young Communist League, plays a prominent role, indicative, perhaps, of the DSA’s image as a “young people’s” party. The average age of its members is 30.

• DSA Moon perfectly conjunct MP Karl Marx

• DSA SN perfectly conjunct MP Komsomolia

• DSA MP Harrington (not shown) is perfectly aligned by opposition to DSA MP Karl Marx and MP Wladilena, emblematic of Harrington’s effort to distance the DSA from Communism.

• HARR Mercury Sun perfectly conjunct MP Bolshoi

• HARR SN perfectly conjunct MP Tito

• HARR Venus perfectly conjunct MP Stalingrad on the DSA Moon, MP Karl Marx and MP Wladiena

Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani

We have good birth data for Mamdani. His media officer, Grace Han, stated: “Zohran’s birthdate, place and time, confirmed by Zohran’s mother: October 18, 1991 / Kampala, Uganda / 1:15 am”. Therefore we can use his angles with confidence. Note that MP Kampala, his place of birth, is perfectly conjunct his Mercury on the IC. How apt!

Mamdani is Full of Stars

Look at his natal Sun, tightly conjunct two very fortunate stars, Spica and Arcturus. who carry the qualities of fame and wealth.

His North Node and Neptune, the planet ruling deception and illusion, align with Vega, a star that gives skill in double-dealing, and is therefore said to bring luck to politicians.

His Moon receives a terrible aspect from his Pluto at 19°16’ Scorpio on Serpentis, an extremely malefic star known as the “Accursed Degree”, 19°00 Scorpio.

In looking for Minor Planets to signify his name, I learned that “Zohran” means “new beginnings”. See his 0°ASC opposite 0°Saturn on the DSC, square 0°Mars. “Zohran” also means “bright” or “shiny”. There is one Minor Planet known for its astounding brilliance: MP MakeMake. Look where it sits in his chart, conjunct Jupiter and Venus, and on their midpoint.

Is it any wonder, then, that Mamdani achieved his recent triumph just two days after the start of his Jupiter-Venus-Jupiter-Rahu (NN) dasa? But with his North Node conjunct Neptune and Vega, should we ever believe what this bright and shiny politician has to say about new beginnings?

Mamdani and the Communist MPs

While President Trump and others have called him a communist, Mamdani says he’s a democratic socialist, which his image on the DSA website banner affirms. However, Communism, Socialism and Democratic Socialism are arguably on the same branch of the Arbor politica, so let’s take a look at how the MPs related to Communism array themselves in Mamdani’s chart.

• MAM MP Harrington on DSC Saturn on Tarazed, “The Plundering Falcon”, a star of strong will and passion: this certainly has something to say about the true nature of his DSA political affiliation.

• MAM NN Neptune MP Karl Marx on Vega, trine MP Wladilena: likewise

• MAM Sun MP PeterPinko

The Minor Planets do have a sense of humor!

Congratulations, New York, on your new mayor. His chart certainly confirms his ability to win an election, but leaves me wondering. Who do you think the Plundering Falcon is?

Remote Viewers Hone in on the Fed

Not long ago, the Future Forecasting Group targeted “the next Fed Chairman”, as seen in this sketch by remote viewer Nyiam, who thought Fed Governor Kevin Warsh was a possible “fit”. He certainly got the hair right!

A Wild and Crazy Guy, for a Banker

Warsh’s appointment to The Fed Board of Governors on January 26, 2008 at age 35 was not without opposition, but Bernanke deemed his “political and markets savvy and many contacts on Wall Street would prove to be invaluable”.1 Perhaps Ben had an inkling, as Warsh’s arrival just narrowly preceded the 2008 Crash.

Here are the transits to The Fed Warsh synastry on that day. Look at the emphasis on Uranus, Chiron, MP Banks, Sun and North Node, all of them at 6°, ± 45’ of arc. With an Aquarian Sun to kick it off, his tenure with the Fed would be a “game-changer”, pretty exciting stuff in the normally staid, Saturnian world of bankers!

• APPOINT Sun AQU conjunct FED Uranus quincunx FED POF: The Fed was “pushed” into accepting this unorthodox appointee.

• APPOINT Nodal axis on WARSH Chiron Uranus opposition and FED MP Banks sextile FED Uranus: any “bankerly” opposition would be “blown away” by the kinetic energy in this pattern.

And, prophetically:

• APPOINT MP Banks Uranus on WARSH NN and FED Chiron in the 8th: foreshadowing the monetary crisis currently evidenced by FED Progressed chart Yod to the same point, in my article “The Wanderer's Return to Jekyll Island”. Dealing with monetary crisis seems to be his destiny.

  

The Fed, Shaken and in Tears?

As we turn now to look at Warsh with The Fed, we are struck by the Cardinal Grand Cross that dominates their synastry. It involves all three of the Fed-related Minor Planets I have found to be relevant: MP Banks, MP FredTreasure, and MP BuckMaster.

• WARSH Sun, perfectly conjunct his own MP FredTreasure and MP Banks, squaring his Moon opposite FED Jupiter, all orbs < 1°: a seemingly workman-like rapport.

• FED MP BuckMaster completes the T-square to form the Cross, although it is 26’ out of the normal 1°orb. With his solunar pair so well aspected to the Fed, Warsh could very easily be identified as the future “BuckMaster”; they like what they hope for in him.

Note his two rather difficult midpoints on the FED ASC and Sun. It certainly was no surprise, given the highly Uranian theme between them, to find his Uranus/Pluto midpoint on The Fed Sun, “great tension, urge for freedom, revolution”2. However, that very destructive Saturn/Pluto midpoint (loss) on The Fed ASC is concerning. Noel Tyl’s definition of Saturn/Pluto on ASC is “sadness and mourning”.3 I’d hazard a guess that there might be a few regrets if Warsh is actually chosen.

A Warning from the Remote Viewers

(There’s that hair again!)

While all that Uranian stuff is fairly palatable, the remote reviewing session yielded some rather dark descriptors of the “next Fed Chairman” which must be taken into account:

• “Mastermind”

• ”He’ll be picked because of his ties to real power”

• “There is a sleaziness to him”

• “He is involved in some bad things”

• “He has a dark side”

• “Sexual deviances being a big factor, as in he gets his cruelty fix sexually”

Keep in mind that these descriptors are not about Kevin Warsh, per se. Rather, they purport to describe whomever is chosen. Even so, this puts your Minor Planet researcher in a bit of a bind, as it requires we look for the astrological expression of these darker themes in Warsh’s chart. For decency’s sake, I will detail only one of the more disturbing astrological themes in his natal chart, that of his Mars placement.

Gold and the “Head of the Snake”

According to his chart, Kevin loves Gold.

• His noon Moon is perfectly conjunct MP Gold, square Sun MP FredTreasure and MP Banks: seems appropriate for a money guy.

Financial astrologer Margo Amala has started using MP Gold in her market analysis with good results, which increases my trust in its relevance here.

But, as we can see, Warsh’s Sun, Moon and Mars are in the thick of a tightly focused, great big “spooky thing”. With that rather satanic Mars MP Lucifer on “Medusa’s star” Algol, quincunx his MP BuckMaster on Rasalhague, “The Head of the Snake”, it is tempting to read a certain je ne sais quoi into his ultimate loyalty.

But the “snake” is a complex symbol whose meaning and history have been shaped by the victors who sought to “crush its head”. Medusa, as Sophia or Wisdom, had every right to be furious and to turn the usurpers of her world into stone. So, let us not jump to conclusions. Only time will tell what sort of snake Warsh is, but you can take it to the bank that he most certainly is one.

If chosen to be the next Fed Chair, we can expect Warsh’s tenure to be colored by the condition of his MP BuckMaster. It initiates a powerful dynamic, the synthesis of which adds up to deep transformation and the ability to navigate complex situations with sly wisdom, all of which is released into the Fed MP BuckMaster point. Perhaps this is just what we need.

WARSH MP BuckMaster:

• conjunct Rasalhague, “Head of the Snake”: cunning, strategic mastery

• Yod to Mars MP Lucifer Algol and Moon MP Gold, MP Midas on midpoint: whatever happens, Gold will be involved

• trine Sun MP FredTreasure MP Banks: arcane finance is his oyster

• square Pluto, with transit of Pluto to MP BuckMaster: classic mid-life crisis stuff, but with a twist; ready for the “big move”.

The snaky theme of his MP BuckMaster opposition MP Midas placement gives me concern. Just as Medusa turned men to stone, Midas, to his everlasting regret, turned whatever he touched into gold. With his alchemical Chiron Uranus opposition, bent on the transmutation of matter (markets) through crisis and shock, the question remains: will he use this power for deep, strategic change, or simply for candle magick?

Echoes of Butler, PA

WARSH MP Beksha joins MP BuckMaster at the tip of a Yod formed by Mars Algol MP Lucifer and natal Moon, which echoes the Butler Assassination theme. When President Trump was targeted in Butler, transiting MP Beksha, Mars and Uranus touched Trump’s Algol MC, in T-square to his Mars ASC opposite POF.

MP Beksha represents the Beks, the Khazarian War Chiefs. Don’t expect them to behave. I don’t much care for Warsh’s MP Beksha quincunx Algol, with his Mars MP Lucifer on Trump’s MP Banks at that very sensitive degree, 26 TAU. See how Warsh (red) lines up with Trump (blue), at the time of the shooting (black), right down to Moon quincunx Moon:

I don’t even know what to hope for in a new Fed Chairman. Perhaps with the Fed MC and Prog Fed USA Composite angles all at the Aries Point, we might at least see some change. But truth be told, I’d rather the Fed just go away.
