Since Donald Trump won the 2016 Presidential election, which I had speculated he would lose, I re-examined the 2016 Aries Ingress to identify precursors of his victory. Astrology is perfect as it speaks through celestial messengers, even though astrologers err. The Aries Ingresses set for Washington, D.C. have previously accurately predicted whether the incumbent party […]
The lunar eclipse of February 10/11 acts as a precursor for more intense activity the world will see in 2017. The lunar eclipse falls in the third decan of Leo, traditionally ruled by Mars, and promises feisty times ahead. William Lilly, in his text on eclipses, writes that when a lunar eclipse occurs in this […]
