Any astrological insight into the cyclosporiasis parasite outbreak in the US as it relates to the gutting of the CDC over the past year and a half?
Hi Marjorie
I’m curious about whether it can be seen in the astrology somehow what is with all six children dropping Brad Pitt’s surname or whether it’s the mind bending of Angelina that’s resulted in this? It just seems so strange to me.
Was Brad that bad or is this Angelina’s work? What say the astrology please if you have a little time to take a look?
Much thanks
My thoughts exactly. Will look tomorrow
Lindsay Graham had Jupiter at 5 Leo opposite Chiron at 3 Aquarius.
So he died within 3 degrees of his Jupiter return. Jupiter couldn’t protect him when tr Pluto was sitting on his Chiron.
Can someone explain why Pluto was more powerful than Jupiter in this instance?
Marjorie, I second a post on Lindsey Graham if possible. He also had a transit Saturn inconjunct / quincunx Saturn. His natal Saturn is in retrograde.
Is saturn really that bad? Especially that 150 degree aspect?
It could be to do with day charts v night charts, but unfortunately, I can’t find a time of birth.
With day charts, the most powerful benefic is Jupiter and the most dangerous malefic is Mars. With night charts, the most powerful benefic is Venus and the most dangerous malefic is Saturn.
If he had a night chart, that would fit with tr Saturn hurting him while his Jupiter return being meh.
I myself have a day chart and find Mars transits horrid all the time. Whereas Saturn transits end quite well – lost weight when saturn went through my first house, big payrise when it went through my second house.
Jupiter is not always positive. But Pluto will always outweigh it no matter what since it has a stronger influence.
Jupiter close by around death, once again.
The 1801 UK chart is experiencing it’s Jupiter Return right now. Is this the reason for the miraculous progress of the England team in the World Cup?
If Scotland cheer England against Argentina, we’ll know it was the 1801 chart wot dun it.
A look at Graham’s chart would be interesting. He was always shifting his views to adapt to whomever was the most powerful person of the moment. I assume the Uranus Mars conjunction played a role in the suddenness of his death, too.
Andy Cohen (Jun 2, 1968 St. Louis, Missouri, USA) – Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde?
Just saw his buddy SJP hawking eye drops in a new commercial. I can’t watch AC bc I get aggressive vibes – Ryan Murphy, Ryan Seacrest ( tho much more likable ) Kelly Ripa…they all seem part of a relentless moneymaker cult.
Possessed, genius, or greedy – what say ye Astrology?!

“Illiberal Amnesty thinks a woman’s place is at back of the queue” The Times Saturday July 11 2026
Ann Widdecombe was a very good friend of Sir David Ames, Conservative MP for Southend West, who was also murdered. Both were Roman Catholics, animal lovers, social conservatives but with a strong humanitarian underpinning.
As we in the UK are expecting a coronation on 20th July, I am playing around with a chart of that day. I expect the new Prime Minister to take over between 11AM and 1PM, so just before or after noon.
I had a look at Marjorie’s earlier post on Andy Burnham and Candy had posted a reply there about Moon opposition Saturn, closely aligned to the Asc-Des axis at about noon.
It does seem a difficult chart, to me at least. Moon opposition Saturn & Neptune would suggest hardship or discipline being imposed on the public, and/or the public resenting/fighting the discipline being imposed on them, and perhaps issues with the NHS.
Pluto is in the fourth, opposition both the Sun and Jupiter. Pluto in the fourth can be interpreted in many ways, such as death and rebirth at home/of the homeland/of ties to the homeland and thus could indicate race based tensions. Hopefully, Jupiter’s presence is benevolent and not just magnifying the negative effects of Pluto in the fourth.
Mars and Uranus in the ninth could suggest an unusual war. Nuclear is almost blase nowadays. But perhaps cyber warfare or cutting off the UK’s undersea cables at a time when almost all of the UK’s government and bank resources are accessible only online could be a crippling form of warfare without a single bullet being fired. Besides we don’t have much of a military any more.
If the change of Prime Minister happens at or around noon, the saving grace may be an Air Grand Trine between Uranus in Gemini, the Ascendant in Libra and Pluto in Aquarius, which may be turned into a Kite with Saturn & Neptune in Aries being on the Descendant/opposition Ascendant and the latter two planets thus being sextile both Uranus and Pluto.
The Ascendant being in Libra would suggest that the public face of the government may well be all about justice. It is deeply ironic that that placement would have been more apt for Sir Keir’s government.
Anyway, much of the above is predicated on the changeover of the Prime Minister taking place at or around noon, which has been the practice of changeovers in the past. This is only an educated guess.
I look forward to some interesting comments and interpretations of that hart.
Only just noticed that the website I used to generate the chart (astro-charts.com) gives an observation summary for free.
The chart forms a Splay shape
Planets cluster at three or more distinct points — an irregular, individualistic distribution.
Heavy concentration in Cancer
Sun, Mercury, and MC share one sign — a chord of the chart sounds.
Lower-right quadrant is empty
The houses of resources, work, and daily life carry no planetary weight.
Earth is a singleton element
Venus is the only earth placement — it carries the whole element on its own, disproportionately weighted.

There may well be two charts to consider. The first is when Burnham is formally announced as leader of the Labour Party. This will probably govern his relationship with MPs, the Unions and the membership. The other will be the kissing of hands chart which will be the start of his government. It will be interesting to see how they interact.
The chart I’m using/assuming for noon on 20th July would be the kissing of hands chart, when he is formally commissioned by the King to form His government.
The fact that at noon Mercury in the 10th is retrograde and makes a square to the Moon in 1st and Saturn in 7th is slightly worrying. Miscommunication, delays, misunderstanding and inconsistency are highlighted.
The Sun and Jupiter on 20th July will be conjunct the 1801 UK chart’s Jupiter in the 10th house. (The UK is experiencing it’s Jupiter return right now).
10th house is leadership. That Jupiter in the UK’s 10th house is responsible for the Empire. Within years of the 1801 Act of Union, Napoleon was defeated and Britain became the hegemon.
It feels auspicious that Burnham will become PM on a Jupiter return.
(Would be interested in a post from Marjorie about the other Jupiter returns the 1801 chart has experienced).
The Lunar Nodes shift Into Aquarius (North) and Leo on 26 July. Any analysis appreciated!
Be interesting to see how it ties with Jupiter in performative Leo, given Jupiter’s ability to magnify.
Ruth Ellis, the last woman hanged in Britain, has received a conditional posthumous pardon (commuted to life imprisonment). The decision recognised she was a victim of domestic abuse and coercive control.
She had an interesting chart (personal planets Jupiter and Mars in retrograde, scorpio moon, moon square jupiter and venus). Her 4 degrees Venus in Libra is currently opposing Neptune but forming an exact grand trine with transiting Uranus & Pluto.
I would like to see your take on her chart, Marjorie.
I’m curious, now that we’re closer to the time, what do you think Barbault’s Basket might deliver?
Some financial breakthrough. Since jupiter is transiting 2nd house. Pluto in 8th House. Gemini in 12th. A number of new household equipments are planned for installation in that week or after. (and I thought these are 4th house maybe not my 4th house). Oh well.
I’m an old grouch but travel hopefully. I am always marginally suspicious of predictions which promise a) an overdose of bounty or b) the end of times. We wait we see. Can’t say it is looking too hopeful at the moment.
I think maybe Barbault’s vision was of this period planting hopeful seeds for humanity’s future, rather than a hamper on the doorstep which some might be looking for right now.
Chuckle. Thank you for that. Made me laugh.
Much wisdom in that statement.
JB, I agree with your statement because we still have get through the years of tr Saturn in Taurus which will be squaring Pluto in Aquarius which Marjorie described as ‘deprivation’, and the U.S. has to get through its third Uranus Return which I think will result in the U.S. federal government being dismantled and states with like ideologies forming regional governments.
