Mundane Astrology Project Update

[ecosophia]

This has been a busy season for my subscribers/patrons-only mundane astrology project!  I've posted quarterly ingress charts for all five of the countries I'm currently doing -- USA, UK, India, Japan, and Australia -- as well as charts for the June 5 lunar eclipse and the June 21 solar eclipse; the final entry in this flurry of events in the heavens -- a partial penumbral lunar eclipse on July 5 -- is in process and should be up by the time the eclipse itself happens.  

In the two months or so before I start posting Libra ingresses, I plan on getting several more posts up on the upcoming Grand Mutation on December 21 -- the end of an era that's been in course since 1842, and the beginning of another that will last until 2219. I've already posted a first set of predictions, and gone back over the previous Grand Mutations in 1425, 1663, and 1842, as well as taken a look at the predictions made by Zadkiel (Richard J. Morrison) in 1842 for that Grand Mutation.  Now it's time to start looking at the destinies of individual nations as shown in the 2020 Grand Mutation chart. (Ingresses and eclipses are open to $5-a-month subscribers/patrons, the Grand Mutation charts are reserved for the $10-a-month level). 

I'd like to thank everyone who has contributed to this project and made it possible for me to devote many working days to traditional mundane astrology. Your support is deeply appreciated! Anyone who isn't part of the project yet and would like to be can find my SubscribeStar page here and my Patreon page here -- both have identical content, so choose whichever company you prefer.

Hi JMG
I'm on SubscribeStar, I've read the latest ingress for Australia and will be re-reading it to let it percolate further.
One thing I do miss is the comments that used to follow when you first started doing the astrology on this site.
I understand that you must be constantly super busy, but is there any way to have a public discussion about the charts? One of the things that makes your blogs so interesting is reading the responses from readers.
I also think it would be an opportunity to give on the ground feed back to what's happening in each of these countries, as well as the ability to provide links to relevant news articles etc, that show correlations to the predictions set forth in your writings.
I can say, that even just in the last few days here in Australia, the ongoing foreign policy tensions that have been simmering pretty much since the "CV Lunar Eclipse" have stared to ratchet up quite a bit.

Kind Regards, Helen in Oz

Hmm! Let me see what I can do about a forum for discussion. The real problem is that I don't have time to moderate another forum, but I might be able to work something out with volunteer moderators or something.

Thanks for the heads up about foreign policy tensions. Can you post a link to a good article online on the subject? I'm still learning about Australian politics, and more sources would be great.

I'd be willing to volunteer to help moderate such a forum. I can email you next week once I've settled in more from my move.

Been subscribed for a while, popped in just to say thank you for your work!

Possibly a dumb question, but would an ingress chart drawn for New York City (where the United Nations is Headquartered) work for (most of) the world as a whole?

[ecosophia]

I don't believe so. A chart for New York City isn't that different from a chart for Washington DC, and US ingress charts don't seem to predict world politics that well. It may just be that the UN is a debating chamber and not an actual government.

[brendhelm]

From what I've heard, some people have tried using heliocentric charts for global ingresses. From the standpoint of the Sun, what we call an Aries ingress is the heliocentric Libra ingress of the Earth, but I'm not sure how well that works. (With heliocentric, of course, there are no retrogrades, the signs of Mercury and Venus may drastically differ from geocentric, and the Sun and Moon don't feature at all, while the EArth does.)

A U.N. ingress chart would undoubtedly show you some insights relating the U.N. itself, but it isn't really a world government and can't be treated as such for the purposes of ingresses.

I personally would just look at the signs and aspects of the planets, ignoring the houses, to get the tenor of the world as a whole

[ecosophia]

Interesting. I've always assumed that heliocentric charts would be meaningful only for creatures who lived on the sun, but if they can make accurate predictions that way, more power to 'em.

I'm wracking my brain and I can't think of a better way to spend $10/month!

Thank you for doing it.

You're most welcome and thank you.

Which one of them gives you more money?

[ecosophia]

It's about the same either way. The main differences are that Patreon has better marketing but has been caught deplatforming people with unpopular political views; I make sure they know that if they do that to me, I've got another service waiting to pick up the slack, so all that happens is they stop getting income from me.

Eclipse July 5?

[(Anonymous)]

*Another* eclipse? Ye gods! I just spent days trying to stop a cyber-thief from robbing my online bank account. I *think* I've succeeded - don't want to be complacent - but it's been psychologically absolutely grueling. Plus current political events are appalling, with arsonists and looters and vandals destroying public monuments while receiving only praise and support from the mendacity industry - I meant to say the news media - as Peaceful Protesters. After all this, I hope we will be quit of eclipses for a while. To whom ought we to pray?

Re: Eclipse July 5?

[ecosophia]

Unfortunately eclipses are hardwired into the cycles of heaven. In traditional terms, they're ruled by Saturn, and therefore as inescapable as he is. 2020 will have a total of 6 eclipses, 2 solar and 4 lunar; 2021 will have 4, 2 solar and 2 lunar, though the solar eclipses will only be visible from the poles (one at each).

There’s a penumbral eclipse of the moon either tonight or tomorrow night.

Re: Eclipse July 5?

[ecosophia]

Here on the east coast of the US, it begins late tomorrow night, perfects early on the 5th.

What would it take to get you to add Canada to the mix? Seems like a decent number of your readers are Canadian, and I doubt I'm the only one who would appreciate reading Canadian mundane charts. I'm not necessarily in a position to drop a huge chunk of change to make it worth your while all by myself, but maybe if we rounded up a few more Canadian subscribers?

[ecosophia]

I'm sorry to say that right now I've got as much as I can handle. However, one of my readers is doing exactly what you've asked for at a blog named, sensibly enough, Canadian Mundane Charts. I'm hoping, to be frank, that more people will take up this kind of traditional mundane work, so that every country in the world has at least a few astrologers casting ingress charts and other mundane charts for it.

Fair enough! Glad someone is doing it.

While we’re on matters esoteric, Sonkitten just swatted a fly. He’s been killing flies for years. In the last few years he’s been using a flyswatter, but before that he used a child’s play ball. A fly that could hear anyone else armed with a swatter from across the room would sit on the wall, oblivious, as Sonkitten walked up with no particular stealth and rolled the ball over it. Likewise with his swatter. (If I have the swatter, it’s like a fly red alert goes off.). None of the many psychologists he’s had to see over the years had a scientific explanation (they didn’t even believe me until cell-phone video came along). He can’t explain how he does it. Has anyone ever heard of anyone else doing this? Is there an occult explanation for this unusual but useful ability?

[ecosophia]

That's really quite remarkable -- but then a lot of people on the autism spectrum have odd gifts like that. Do you happen to know if he can approach other animals without startling them?

[(Anonymous)]

He’s never tried. I’ll ask him to and report back.

I've recently subscribed and am diving into your fascinating Grand Mutation retrospectives. Thank you for your in-depth research and analysis! I look forward to your upcoming posts.

As a matter of personal interest, I'm going to be studying the possible influence of Pluto in the Grand Mutation cycles. Regardless of its planetary status in the shifting tides of astronomical fashion, I consider it extremely potent in terms of personal and collective archetypal influence.
