Summer Solstice

Thursday, June 18th, 2009 | Canadian Politics, Current Planetary trends, Mundane astrology | No Comments

The Summer Solstice takes place June 20, 2009 22:46 PDT. The direction changes, now the days begin to grow shorter until the Autumnal Equinox, when day and night are of equal length. The solstices and equinoxes are pivotal — our direction changes. Naturally this plays out more strongly in the mundane world of politics and the current dramas.

When writing an analysis about the current planetary weather I am looking at probabilities. When I write for the signs it is directed at the Sun sign only. Personal horoscopes however are rather complex in comparison and offer more specific information. I do think that many horoscopes are valuable, because they can provide information about the natural cycles in our lives. They cannot give detailed information specific to you.

The Sun is in Cancer until July 22, 2009, at 9:36 PDT, the Sun moves into Leo. The universal themes associated with the sign of Cancer are home, family, heritage and retreat from the hustle and bustle of life.
I chose to cast this Solstice chart for Washington, DC the seat of the US government, because it is one of the astrological tools to look at the season in terms of the USA. › Continue reading

Summer Elections in Canada

Tuesday, June 16th, 2009 | Canadian Politics, Current Planetary trends | 4 Comments

As a voter I cringe at the idea of yet another federal election, but then I am not alone, according to a recent poll 75 percent of Canadians do not want to have nor pay for yet another election, where we will send the same message—a minority government for the party in power. The bottom line is that the result of a summer election would be that the conservatives get a few more candidates in. I think that with the current planetary weather and so much ‘fixity’ in the stars we would choose the ‘devil’ we know… I have studied the charts for Ignatieff, Harper, Layton and even Duceppe and the chart for Canada over the past six months. As I talked about in my previous posts, the two men have much in common; both have a Taurus Sun, Aquarius Moon, and Jupiter in Scorpio. Ignatieff is on the left side and Harper on the right. Ignatieff is the philosopher and Harper clearly an economist—both are realistic about what is possible. The timing is not great for Ignatieff to win an election at this point; I am sure he knows this. › Continue reading

Delta MLA progress report

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009 | Canadian Politics, Mundane astrology | No Comments

I wrote a prediction about this riding Monday May 18, http://www.annemassey.ca/2009/05/18/delta-south-mla/— stating that Wally Oppal would be defeated in this riding and that it would still most likely go to a judicial recount. According to the newsfeed there were 918 absentee, Vicky Huntington received a total of 9,977 votes and 9,945 votes were cast for Oppal. Because the margin of the win was so close, the vote will now go to a judicial count to confirm the result. This and another riding were the recount changed the victor now has 50 Liberals, 35 NDP and one independent. I do think this result stands, but I guess these two candidates won’t breathe easy until that result is in.

Delta South MLA

Monday, May 18th, 2009 | Canadian Politics, Mundane astrology | 1 Comment

Vicky Huntington and Wally Oppal

This article is an intellectual exercise to determine the winner in the contested South Delta riding using two horary charts. The latest information is that incumbent Wally Oppal who declared himself the winner on election night leads by three votes, which means that there will be an automatic recount and also that votes cast prior to the election are not yet included in the numbers. He was serving as the Solicitor-General in Campbell’s cabinet prior to the dissolution of the legislative assembly and the election writ issued April 17—the official date for the start of the campaign. I was thinking of writing a post script for my election analysis posted April 11, 2009, in which I stated that the BC Liberals would win. Read my earlier post at http://www.annemassey.ca/2009/04/11/bc-elections-a-close-race/.  However, I was distracted by this particular riding where there will be an automatic recount. I don’t have the option to look at the charts of the candidates, because I have no data for Oppal, other than he was born in 1940. I have even less for the independent candidate Vicki Huntington. The recount will not begin until May 25, when Mercury will still be retrograde in Taurus (23°53′); the Sun was at 22°30′, when the polls closed on May 12 at 20:00 PDT. Two days later when the results will be announced (May 27) Mercury will be at 23°16′ and on May 30 Mercury changes direction at 22°52′. The reason I am listing the actual degrees is that Mercury of accounting, counting and recounting will not return to the Sun’s degree on Election Day, which suggests that recount might not favour Oppal. However, I do not have a time for the announcement of the result of the recount, thus casting or reading an event chart is not an option. There are numerous aspects between the planets that day suggesting lots of news and activity. We will have a New Moon on Sunday May 24—a new direction with changes… maybe. › Continue reading

BC Elections a Close Race

Saturday, April 11th, 2009 | Canadian Politics, Current Planetary trends | 3 Comments

Our provincial elections date is fixed (since 2001), the second Tuesday in May at four-year intervals. The Sun will always be in Taurus, and everything else will vary. In 2001 we had a landslide victory for the Liberals or a wipe-out loss for the NDP depending on your take. The There were scandals and the NDP had several short-term leaders leading up to the elections, which was called April 18, 2001 at which time Venus finished her retrograde period-excellent timing for the opposition! This time the writ will be dropped April 14, while Venus is retrograde in Pisces, Mars with Uranus of upsets and Moon in Sagittarius at a 90-degree angle to that Mars-Uranus and about to square the Venus as well. There are winds of change! Some interesting annotations back in 2001 were that Mars was retrograde in Sagittarius, Mercury-Jupiter in Gemini opposed Pluto in Sagittarius and Venus was in Aries, following a retrograde period of forty days that ended the day after the election was called, April 18; that is with a stationary direct Venus. › Continue reading

BC Budget 2009

Tuesday, February 17th, 2009 | Canadian Politics | No Comments

In British Columbia the budget talk is delivered at 14:30 PST February 17, 2009. Like all budgets, stimulus packages and alike—this one will take time to filter to the designated cause(s). Venus is in Aries, moving slowly toward her retrograde period (March 6-April 17). This tends to mean delays with money. Venus apart from love and romance is about personal finances. She is not well placed in Aries, the sign belongs to Mars. Venus will be at 10°Aries25′, when the budget is tabled and at 9°Aries19′ at the close of polls on Election Day. This will be the hottest debate during the campaign—the budget and all the flaws in it. Venus will return to square Pluto twice still; and when it happened the first time it was about the overruns of the Olympic costs and where was that money coming from. › Continue reading

Huff and Puff Rhetoric

Wednesday, January 28th, 2009 | Canadian Politics, Current Planetary trends, Mundane astrology | 3 Comments

Jack Layton has been stating he will vote against the budget. No qualifiers, no reading it over—I guess he got a taste of being in power within the coalition and with it reason and logic left the equation. Layton the leader of the NDP is one of 37 MPs from that political party in the parliament; that is 12 percent of the 308 MPs. Gilles Duceppe of Bloc Quebecois is echoing that statement. The bloc holds 49 seats in the Parliament and represents Quebec only. Will this choice hurt these politician and their parties? The vote will take place on Thursday, but that will be a mute point… however, our political scene will change—well have Taurus vs. Cancer. More about that in future posts. Writing these commentaries is so much fun. › Continue reading

Liberals Budget Vote

Tuesday, January 27th, 2009 | Canadian Politics, Current Planetary trends, Mundane astrology | 2 Comments

16:07 PST

Ignatieff is scheduled to meet with his caucus at 18:00 on January 27, 2009 to decide how to vote on Wednesday at 11:00. Finally some times to look at. The budget was released to the public with the Moon void of course in Aquarius. This timing tells me that all the promises need to be honoured and that most of the content was known already. During the Caucus meeting the Moon continues to be void, which tells me this meeting is a formality the decision has already been made, it simply needs to be formalized. Leo is ascending in Ottawa at 18:00, which puts Ignatieff’s Taurus Sun-Mercury at the top in the event chart; the caucus will follow his lead. › Continue reading
