Mundane Astrology Update

[ecosophia]

Just a heads up to those interested in my posts on political astrology: the Capricorn ingress charts for 2019 for the US, UK, and Japan have now all been posted to my Patreon and SubscribeStar changes. It's taken most of a month to get all three up, and the London ingress was posted before the election -- no, the chart didn't predict the outcome, but it did indicate that Brexit is going to happen and that whoever won the election would be in a strong position. (As indeed it's turned out.) 

Next on the stack are charts for the upcoming annular solar eclipse on December 26 and the penumbral lunar eclipse on January 10. Eclipses are an ancient tool of mundane astrologers but I've done less with them so far, so my conclusions will be tentative. Still, the charts have a lot to say. 

If you're interested, and aren't yet a patron/subscriber, you can find my Patreon page here and my SubscribeStar page here.

Sadly I can’t afford the subscription right now but I was interested to hear your comments on the UK election. I now expect the Labour Party to descend into civil war as the blairites seek to take control again.

It's going to be very interesting to watch!

It dawned on me I’ve paid my last ovate subscription payment so freeing up a payment so I signed up. Excellent UK chart. Looking forward to the regular posts. I’d be interested to know any implications regarding Scottish independence. Brexit has hammered a wedge between Scotland and England.

I'm going to be doing some serious research into the astrology of separatist movements over the next three months, so I can address this in the Aries ingress and thereafter.

Not sure if this would help, but since Scotland has been mentioned...

Thanks for this. The methods of mundane astrology I use don't work with foundation charts, but those are something I want to explore as things proceed, so I appreciate the data.

I left a comment on your Subcribestar post on the UK. That was frighteningly spot on. I didn't want to believe it, to be honest (I am a Leaver, but Labour Party member). I feel like this was a good experience for me around my own perceptions and how those can cloud judgement. I am looking forward to re-doubling my efforts on Divination and meditation in the new year. And in reading more mundane analysis.

Thank you as always!

You're welcome and thank you.

I have a half-recollection that you are also working on an astrological take on collapses, perhaps in conjunction with the big...conjunction(?) that's due to happen soon and I thought this article might be of interest. I may be misremembering, and also most definitely not recalling the astrological vocabulary, so if this is tangential to everything, my apologies.

Thanks for this! Financial astrology is its own very intricate field, but I've been looking into it, and this will be helpful to go further.

Im pretty sure Ken Rogoff is a big proponent of banning cash and negative interest rates.
William K Black, who was involved in the prosecution of the savings and loans crisis is not a fan of this analysis, as are a number of other heterodox economists.
If you want good economic history​, especially regarding debt, try Michael Hudson and David Graeber.
The latter also co-authored a paper named On Kings, which is available as a PDF download.

Thank you for these, I am enjoying reading the posts and I am really looking forward to further posts on the Grand Mutation.

You mentioned that the next country you will post on is Australia once your subscriber numbers hit a certain level. This is of particular interest to me as I live there. Are you close to posting on Australia?

[ecosophia]

I'm going to be assessing my time commitments in the new year. The mundane astrology project has turned out to be a very solid income stream for me, so time and other circumstances permitting, I plan on adding India and Australia to the list of ingress charts as of the 2020 Aries ingress.

New Druid Order

[forturso]

I am part of a group trying to establish a Druid Order, we have members in several states and Canada so far. We have participants of tye major orders/ organizations as well as spuritualities. Our primary focus is fellowship among Druids.

My question is more of an ask for opinion. Should an order with fellowship as primary intent have smaller "focus groups" or should there be a stronger push towards "cross pollination"?

Did you mean to post this comment to Magic Monday? It's kind of off topic here.

Re: New Druid Order

[forturso]

Apologies. I knew I wanted to ask your opinion (based on your book "Inside a Magical Lodge", and misunderstood the format of Magic Monday. Not necessary to allow it to be posted.
Thank you for your time.
