Budget Canada January 2009

Sunday, January 25th, 2009 | Canadian Politics, Current Planetary trends, Mundane astrology | 7 Comments

Throne Speech and Budget finally arrive following the October 14, 2008 elections, the controversial Coalition threat and proroguing the Parliament. The budget will be tabled January 27, 2009. I don’t know the time of the budget announcement, but apparently it will be broadcast by CTV at 13:00 PST. I expect the session to open at 10:00 EST in Ottawa. Much of the timing appears rather irrelevant. But let’s note that the Parliament resumes following a Solar Eclipse, which in itself might indicate that this is not the time for grandstanding. True to form much of this information was made public days prior to the official budget. The tempest in the teacup and the coalition threat has faded out of the picture—the ‘threat’ has subsided. At 10:00 in Ottawa 12°Aries 14′ is Ascending, Canada’s Ascendant is 17°22′ of Aries. This sign ascends very fast at Northern latitudes. At 10:39 Taurus will be on the Ascendant. Cardinal signs such as Aries imply fast action. The ruler of Aries, Mars is exalted in Capricorn and in the 10th house separating from a recent conjunction to Mercury, this is an indication about how the details were already leaked before the budget was to be tabled. This little detail might also mean that some of the statements or promises will be retracted, probably within two weeks of the budget. › Continue reading

Obama Era

Tuesday, January 20th, 2009 | Mundane astrology | No Comments

On January 20, 2009 Barack Obama becomes the 44th president of the United States of America. Officially the transfer of power takes place at noon in Washington DC. From an astrological perspective, the Moon is void of course in Scorpio. The Moon moves into Sagittarius at 12:30, half an hour after to the swearing in ceremony. The void of course period is typically defined as ‘not a good time for new action’. This concept was popularized by Al H. Morrison in the mid 1970s and it is a vital concept in horary astrology. Horary astrology is a branch of astrology which addresses questions posed at a specific time and place. When the Moon is void of course in a horary chart, the answer tends to be ‘nothing will come of it’ or ‘there is nothing to worry about’. Vedic astrology pays no attention to the void of course concept, naturally the Moon would not be void from this perspective at the inauguration as all planets are about 24 degrees earlier from the Western reckoning. › Continue reading

Harper and Ignatieff, two peas in a pod

Tuesday, December 9th, 2008 | Current Planetary trends, Mundane astrology | No Comments

I was creating a graphic in anticipation of the Liberals naming their leader, which to me astrologically speaking was a foregone conclusion, and decided to make a quick grocery shop run, and in the car I heard the news which stated that Harper has to put in a televised request to the new leader of the Liberal Party—Michael Ignatieff—to meet with him to discuss the upcoming budget. I just about burst out laughing, in light of what I had just been working on, but a picture is worth a thousand words. Here comes that picture. › Continue reading

Liberal Party Saga…

Tuesday, December 9th, 2008 | Current Planetary trends, Mundane astrology | No Comments

The saga continues with the Canadian Federal Liberal Party. In my earlier post  –early hours of Monday December 8– I drew the conclusion that Ignatieff would more or less be acclaimed the new permanent leader by Friday Dec 12) at the latest. Sukhwinder’s comment states that Bob Rae stepping aside is already in the news. It isn’t a done deal yet, however, it is fascinating to watch the timing of the various announcements from Ottawa–invariable when the Moon has become void of course. That happens at 11:23 Ottawa time tomorrow Dec 10. All of the astrology, the comments by journalists in Canadian press are prompting me to look at the astrology of the budget, and the likelyhood of a constitutional crisis in the Spring… more to come, of course.

Liberals Change Leaders

Monday, December 8th, 2008 | Canadian Politics, Current Planetary trends, Mundane astrology | 3 Comments

The Liberals have a scheduled meeting to discuss leadership of the party for Wednesday. However the biggest decision was already made over the weekend—Dion needs to step aside. I have been writing about Wednesday and potential outcome and who is likely to be at the helm. There seem to be persistent themes in the charts of the politicians playing the power battles in Ottawa. Most of the players in this drama have Neptune influencing a personal planet. Ideologies, the theatre, illusion, enchantment, deception, dissolution and drugs are some of the concepts astrology assigns to Neptune. In terms of perception through the lens of Neptune, let’s think how something looks on film as opposed to what our eyes see. Last week a movie was being shot in our little town, it was a Xmas movie so snow was needed. Workers laid out white batting on the ground and made a smidgen of artificial snow and once the movie is out in theatres people will see a beautiful snow-covered landscape… Photography is another illusion; a blurry lens will soften hard lines and make people look younger or illusive/ethereal; the wrong kind of lighting will do the opposite. We saw that with Dion’s address to the nation. › Continue reading

Chart for India

Friday, December 5th, 2008 | Current Planetary trends, Mundane astrology | No Comments

I have found two charts for India August 15, 1947, at 12:00 am IST, Delhi and Republic of India, January 26, 1950, at 10:15 am IST, Delhi. A student wondered what might have triggered the unrest and the events in Mumbai. In the chart for the Indepence Mars is a 0°Cancer and in the chart for the Republic Uranus is at 1° Cancer. Sometimes it is the obvious connections; Mars is the god of War, Uranus represents rebellion and Pluto as I have been discussed at length brings profound change by destroying and rebuilding, these are the extremes, of course. Pluto will not return to the first 39 minutes of the sign during its retrogradation next year, which may state that it won’t get quite as bad again, but there are more elements to consider in any chart.

Act II — (behind the) scene(s) I

Thursday, December 4th, 2008 | Canadian Politics, Mundane astrology | No Comments

Canadian politics hasn’t been this interesting in ages… Now we have an eight-week cooling period and I have some new charts to look at thanks to Chris McRae’s comments and her research into the various dates and times—thank you Chris. The Ratification date of our constitution by the King or sovereign on March 29, 1867 looks very interesting in light of the proroguing of government. The announcement was broadcast at 9:43 EST in Ottawa. It looks like Harper came on the air at 9:44:19 EDT. I will be looking at more charts… the lack of times means that we may not get the full picture but the planetary influence will give us many clues, which can make the analysis intriguing. BTW, all of the comments need to be approved by yours truly to prevent ‘spamming’ for traffic; however, comments by people who post a real name and email will be posted. More later…about what I can derive from astrological ‘clues’ re the Liberal Party conundrum and what might happen late January…

Power battles on Parliamentary Hill

Thursday, December 4th, 2008 | Canadian Politics, Mundane astrology | 6 Comments

Pluto moved into Capricorn a week ago, and Saturn is slowing down and will station retrograde this month. Pluto’s shift influences us for 14 years and the intent is to change the way we govern our business and our countries. There has to be a solid plan and a sound plan to execute changes. Saturn’s retrograde period lasts 4.5 months and begins this month—this tends to mean that business slows down while we ‘research’ our options. For a year and a half we will have ‘battles’ about what structures need to be broken and which are working. For the first time in ages, Canadians are fired up about politics. This is my analysis of the players in this drama and the potential outcome. Yes, I expect we will have another federal election › Continue reading
