Due to a confluence of multiple serious medical conditions and other worldly obstacles, I am formally suspending weekly transmission of JOHN DELANEY’S ASTROSCOPE backdated to Labor Day, September 2, 2024.  I will continue to write and to transmit astrology copy, but not to the extensive degree that I have for the past 29 years.

When I began to write JOHN DELANEY’S ASTROSCOPE on January 1, 1995, one local newspaper, The Manhattan Mirror, published me. Some three or four months later, another local African-American newspaper, The Brooklyn Advocate, later called The Neeedw York World, began to publish me. Publication in the AAN (Association of Alternative Newsweeklies) followed in 1997.

Since 2006, publication of JOHN DELANEY’S ASTROSCOPE has been sparse. I continued to pursue newspaper publication and will continue to do so going forward.

However, as time progressed, the mission of JOHN DELANEY’S ASTROSCOPE evolved. Simultaneous with my foray into astrological research of recently named and unnamed planets, I began to investigate, to pitch newspapers concerning, to write and on occasion to publish astrological analyses of cities, states, provinces, elections and historical events. However, neither my business model nor my purpose in writing JOHN DELANEY’S ASTROSCOPE has evolved with such expansion. This step is overdue.

I am still available for consultations.

I hope you have enjoyed JOHN DELANEY’S ASTROSCOPE over the years and appreciate your support. Feel free to contact me with any and all inquiries.

2001-KF77> in Aquarius
from September 24, 2024 to February 10, 2028.

What is the true significance of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to the overall MAGA coalition? Many simple & short explanations have significant merit – such as the mere branding of the Kennedy name grafted onto the Trump historical logo. This is impossible to miss. But enduring a semiotic analysis beyond what seems obvious is critical to understand the concomitant psychological integration of a historic political family dynasty which has fierce champions & enemies with an aspiring political family dynasty now equally heralded & vilified.

Deep background is necessary.

While critics might accuse the Los Angeles Times’ Meredith Blake’s “The Reality TV Roots of the MAGA Coalition” of mirroring the culpability of what she describes, it would be far wiser to assert that the Los Angeles Times’ Blake is merely making a skeleton outline of an argument which requires further explanation & analysis. To assert that the popularity of reality television led to the genesis of Donald Trump’s political dominance is to simplify both reality television & Trump. To disregard the emergence of the Internet, the emergence of Google as a dominant force on the Internet, the effect of the Internet in laying absolute waste of both the newspaper industry & the music industry, the proliferation of cell phones and the emergence of social media within the Internet while discussing how the popularity of reality television led to the genesis of Trump’s political dominance is akin to two rabid fans discuss the strategies of a professional sports coach in a bar over many drinks. A little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing.

To be fair, the Los Angeles Times’ Blake is not the only journalist guilty of such oversimplification. In “John McCain Opened Pandora’s Box – Sarah Palin Came Out, But Trump Was Right Behind Her,” the Guardian’s David Smith argued that 2008 Republican Presidential candidate John McCain’s choice of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as a Vice-Presidential candidate established the conditions necessary to facilitate Trump’s political rise from obscurity to dominance. Such a statement not only ignores completely how the polarizing effect of U.S. President Barack Obama compelled the most irrational & intolerant of Republicans to form the Tea Party in opposition to him – and the acknowledgement of such polarizing effect of U.S. President Obama is itself an oversimplification – but the media phenomena of Trump previous to the Internet. Trump had an established media presence as far back as the mid-Eighties, when Bill Gates was still tinkering with code to create Microsoft Windows. Trump did not follow anybody.

Still, it is fairly easy to see a parallel between the mix-and-match sensibility of The Celebrity Apprentice, which established a context for the famous & the fallen & the notorious & the infamous with the near-famous & the never famous, such as Piers Morgan, Gene Simmons, Joan Rivers, Rod Blagojevich, Sharon Osbourne, Darryl Strawberry, David Cassidy, Richard Hatch, John Rich, Meat Loaf, Victoria Gotti, Terrell Owens, Boy George and Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, to name a scant few, with the Trump Administration, whether first or second, with disgruntled or regional, if not small market, insiders, and outright outsiders, such as Tulsi Gabbard, Pam Bondi, Kristi Noem, Elon Musk, Linda McMahon but especially Pete Hegseth. Of course, like almost everything today, some people love this & some people hate this, but all should acknowledge it. And, while the Los Angeles Times’ Blake is merely trying to make an if A then B argument, because that is the rule of the sound byte within the word count, the reality of our contemporary society is that technology grew like a mushroom in an appropriately fetid environment while consciousness did not.

In truth, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. stands outside of this dynamic. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. represents the privileged blue blood that Donald Trump wants his children to be. Kennedy Jr.’s own nuclear family ostracizes him not only for his thuggish, rich bad boy adolescence, but his acutely checkered careers as an outspoken lawyer & legal advocate – a very successful one for the environment, particularly rivers & waterways, and a very controversial one as a prominent vaccine opponent. But Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s name still is “Kennedy.” The Kennedy name carries with it weight & resonance beyond rational quantification. Furthermore, that Kennedy name looms even larger given that nobody else in the Trump White House, with the exception of Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, a Yale undergrad & economics professor who was a protégé of, of all people, George Soros, has any significant relationship to the traditional power structure of the United States.

Yet to confuse the Kennedy family name with the Washingtonian current & contemporary deep state is to miss the point.

Staughton Lynd explains a parallel phenomenon very well in Intellectual Origins of American Radicalism. Broadly, Lynd asserted that there are two strains of thought in how one views the founding of the United States of America via the Declaration of Independence: 1) The severing of the American colonies from the British Empire established the tradition of American government via self-determination; and 2) For those who object to how that tradition of American government via self-determination manifests, becomes entrenched & either evolves or devolves, an organized revolution against that government is also a legacy & a tradition in & of itself. Lynd sharply expresses how that “revolutionary tradition” against an entrenched order defines itself:  

For almost two hundred years all kinds of American radicals have traced their intellectual origins to the Declaration of Independence and to the Revolution it justified. They have stubbornly refused to surrender the memory of the American Revolution to liberalism or reaction, insisting that only radicalism could make real the rhetoric of 1776.  

Of course, the Kennedy family postures itself within both of Lynd’s political continuums. But it is crucial to remember, and anathema to disregard, that the Kennedy family represents its own political continuum per se.

NBC News’ Megan Lebowitz reporting in “Members of the Kennedy Family Denounce RFK Jr.'s Decision To Endorse Trump” expresses this division expertly, albeit with a very distinct overlap between the Kennedy family bloodline & the Democratic Party. NBC News’ Lebowitz recounts that a statement signed by five of RFK Jr.'s siblings read:  

Our brother Bobby's decision to endorse Trump today is a betrayal of the values that our father and our family hold most dear. It is a sad ending to a sad story.

More accurately, this official statement by five siblings of RFK Jr. amounts to an excommunication of RFK Jr. for a breach of the traditional Kennedy family ideology.

However, looking at RFK Jr.’s political defection from traditional Kennedy family ideology in light of Lynd’s analysis of America’s “revolutionary tradition” adds much more gravitas to a mere, if sharp, political disagreement. What RFK Jr. has forged with his alliance to Trump codifies his maverick ways, dating back to his well-documented rebellious activity in high school, his years of work as an environmental lawyer & his anti-vaccination political stance, as an entirely new strain of legacy within the Kennedy political tradition. Those who champion RFK Jr. will call it a maverick or libertarian strain to a tyrannically egalitarian Democratic party ideology while those who oppose RFK Jr. will condemn it as a rogue strain of a quintessentially noble tradition.

Where one stands upon how RFK Jr. opens up this new strain of the Kennedy legacy is not nearly as important as the fact that this new strain of the Kennedy legacy actually exists. This strain allows the Kennedy name to affiliate far beyond the confines of the traditional, national Democratic party – the fact & reality of which Vice-President J.D. Vance & his political champions are fully aware. Moreover, the fact that certain individuals fiercely oppose this new strain of the Kennedy legacy will serve to give that viral new strain more than enough resistance to gain strength and to exist, if not thrive.  

ARIES – Chariklo, 2003-CO1 & 2001-KF77 warn that, in many circumstances, the outright charlatan can veto & overrule the true expert. The only solution to such a crisis is to forestall it – one must create a situation where the charlatan will never get an opportunity to engage the true expert on any level. A spokesperson representing the unbridled will of the ignorant masses intends to crush the gray matter of the legitimate specialist with brute force. Neptune is in 3:2 resonance with Pluto!  

TAURUS – What do Dr. Anthony Fauci and Joe Rogan have in common? Both spokespeople have a face & a mouth, and both use their faces and their mouths to represent a constituency. Do Dr. Anthony Fauci and Joe Rogan agree? Apparently not. So, which do you choose – A or B? Chariklo, 2003-CO1 & 2001-KF77 reply, whether television or radio, when an audience member is confronted with live media where an individual is speaking, they must choose “expertise” or “belief.” Often, a spokesperson will address an audience member’s lack of knowledge to curry favor with them – this is demagoguery. But to call any individual spokesperson a “demagogue” is a judicial decision. It does not weigh just one one-time occurrence – it analyzes a pattern of behavior. But that is a larger topic. When watching TV, listening to the radio or viewing or listening to a podcast, ask yourself, “Is this an appeal to my intelligence or my emotion? Is this an attempt to further inform my knowledge or an attempt to exploit my ignorance through provocation?”  

GEMINI – Astronomers, astrologers, star-gazing aficionados: The most useful & instructive general theme of Tom Standage’s The Neptune File, about the history behind the discoveries of Uranus & Neptune, as well as Juno, Pallas Athena, Vesta & Ceres, involves the depiction of not only how outsiders to the infrastructure of power brokers who dictated the science of astronomy (herein, specifically, Sir William Herschel) can & did change the codification of that science, but also how the insiders of that infrastructure responded to the changes which the outsiders piqued. This puts the career & contemporary achievement of world Chiron expert & Centaur astrologer Zane Stein, and his relationship with Minor Planet Center (“MPC”) director and renowned astronomer Dr. Brian Marsden in its proper context – particularly following the naming of Mike Brown’s 2003-UB313, named by Mike Brown as Eris, where the MPC changed the rules to planet naming so that only astronomers, and not astrologers, could name planets. Whether you are trying to discover & to name planets or whether you must deal with the infrastructure of your daily life, Chariklo, 2003-CO1 & 2001-KF77 will demand that you notice this dialectic between “insiders” & “outsiders.” Laymen say, “A man who represents himself in court has a fool for a lawyer.” Lawyers say, “A man who represents himself in court has a fool for a client.” Take heed.  

CANCER – Those who enjoyed the pleasure of witnessing performance poet Maggie Estep read her classic poem Political Lesbian during the heyday of Matthew Courtney’s Wide Open Cabaret at ABC NoRio on Rivington Street in New York City’s Lower East Side in the late Eighties completed related to her own ambivalence about her sexual orientation precisely because she prioritized the legitimacy & validity of her own personal stance in the face of an evolving & volatile body politic. Recalling those good old days of no money & acute joy, Chariklo, 2003-CO1 & 2001-KF77 comment that Maggie Estep was an artist, not a politician. Living in the world, Maggie Estep needed to negotiate politics in order to protect her inner self, her core identity, her soul. Not much has changed, but now, there are some politicians feel entitled to proclaim as a result of a privileged financial or hereditary position, while other politicians will simply aggrandize you & everybody else around you, no matter what you believe . . . or who you are. Don’t fool yourself: Homosexuals are no different than Republicans. Protect your innocence.  

LEO – You already know that some professional colleagues, business partners & friends speak to you with the full understanding that you will remember what they said, while others, whoever they are, fly off the handle with total nonsense with no concern for themselves, you . . . or consequences. All well & good – but, to that end, Chariklo, 2003-CO1 & 2001-KF77 advise you now to keep punctilious score. For whatever reason, or for no reason, other peoples’ words & behavior are likely to become a lot more complicated & convoluted – and, in cases when dealing with people with intelligence, inscrutable. Pay closer attention. Tighten all slack.  

VIRGO – Software engineers, tech industry employees: Certain professional colleagues & employees have been engaging in “sharp practice” for so long that the truly accomplished individual serving as compliance officer must correct the problem by addressing it step by step. As a result, Chariklo, 2003-CO1 & 2001-KF77 states that those steps that such accomplished individual now takes to address such issues will seem counterintuitive & counterproductive. Heed the wisdom of Lao Tzu, ““If you want to shrink something, you must first allow it to expand. If you want to get rid of something, you must first allow it to flourish. The soft overcomes the hard. The slow overcomes the fast. This is called the subtle perception of the way things are.”  

LIBRA – Read Scorpio. Politicians, public officials, executive management: You learned, at some point in your life, the hard way, that shortcuts not only don’t work, but lead you hard & fast, headfirst, into a brick wall – and that brick wall hurts. So, enough of that. But Chariklo, 2003-CO1 & 2001-KF77 observe that you notice that some other “peers” (we use this term loosely) have not learned this lesson. “Oh, well,” you shrug – but don’t shrug. Some will learn this lesson; others will not. Observe. Take notice. Keep score. You might like to think that such information will come in handy at some point – truth be told, it will be mission critical for you to notice all of this, down to the very minutiae, down the line.  

SCORPIO – Read Libra. Some local municipal officials have played, and will continue to play, too hard & fast with inviolable laws in order to get what they want when they want it, whenever they want whatever they want. Those local municipal officials in question may think this is funny, but you, personally, are furious, and are very determined to set things straight. That is all well & good, and you are noble for feeling that way & acting upon it, but Chariklo, 2003-CO1 & 2001-KF77 insist that, to do so, you must work through channels. Your adversaries don’t work through channels because they are cheaters – that’s why you oppose them. You cannot stoop to their level & succeed. You are setting the example for everybody else. Be patient. Do the right thing. Grin & bear it.  

SAGITTARIUS – Writers, performers: On November 17, 2006 at the Laugh Factory in Hollywood, California, Michael Richards, Kramer of Seinfeld, irrevocably ruined his career in show business by making, not just racist comments or jokes, but direct racist insults, of paying Mexican & African-American audience members. Chariklo, 2003-CO1 & 2001-KF77 denote that any extremely famous Hollywood producer or director with all appropriate credentials can recreate exactly what transpired that night, with the exact language used, as long as they precede & follow this specific incident with a narrative which demonstrates how wrong & destructive that episode was & is. The lesson: Context is everything – everything.  

CAPRICORN – Many people follow & obey the guru word for word – but why? Chariklo, 2003-CO1 & 2001-KF77 reply, “One of two reasons: Either they are 1) True believers who need meaning in their lives; or 2) Ideological & self-initiated slaves on some hegemon’s payroll. And, who knows? Sometimes Number 1 becomes Number 2. As for you: Keep your own counsel. Reserve all rights. Refuse to participate if you are not allowed to question “authority.”

AQUARIUS – The Waterbearer more than any other sign, except for, on occasion, Sagittarius, can make absurdly outrageous public statements without doing any damage to their personal reputation. Even so, Chariklo, 2003-CO1 & 2001-KF77 nevertheless warn that, if you go to that well too often, the tarnish will accumulate & you will do permanent damage to your personage – not only in the eyes of others, but to yourself. An Aquarian absolutely must tolerate & respect themselves. Flippant speech exposes a lack of individual purpose – and if you have no true purpose as an individual, why are you worthy of respect? Be & speak like somebody whom you, yourself, would admire.

PISCES – As long as you completely trust that politician, doctor or school administrator who addresses your institutional crisis, you can approve when they come up with a novel solution “out of the box.” However, Chariklo, 2003-CO1 & 2001-KF77 strongly recommend against giving any such authority figure carte blanche to do as they like. Cutting corners is not a practice – it reveals a character flaw. Assert, upfront, that you retain veto rights.  

^ Chariklo, named after the wife of the centaur Chiron who enjoyed a close friendship with Pallas Athena, was discovered in February 1997 & named in September 1999. Chariklo helps Chiron to bridge the gap in consciousness between Saturn & Uranus, reminding us that we have to employ vision, perception & imagination when we find no leeway & no loopholes in the entrenched status quo.  

< 2003-CO1 is an unnamed centaur planet discovered on February 1, 2003. The orbit of 2003-CO1 commences just beyond the orbit of Saturn as it crosses over the orbit of Uranus & Neptune.

ARTICLE #2

Cyllarus< conjuncts* 2001-SQ73> in Leo from June 10, 2024 to July 19, 2027. To procure for one’s self a high-paying professional position, one must of course make one’s self available to an interview process – first with a recruiter (or, as is more & more the case these days, a generative AI interface), second with the group, third with each direct report – to determine one’s social suitability for the position. As all this Q&A is ping-ponging back & forth, the head recruiter often mentions the background check – not to ask permission, but, more often than not, stating, “We’re not sure when it is going to be finished.” This makes sense to most people – most people have only the vaguest idea of what a background check might entail. Most people presume a background check involves the collection of official records to determine whether or not the candidate is an excellent worker, a convicted felon or an excellent worker & convicted felon, which would include employee reviews & official records of law enforcement. However, while those who did background checks most likely kept checklists of documents from which to draw for every single profile, truth be told, in an idiosyncratic world, those pursuing the oftentimes hard to reach “last word” may fail to realize that the efforts to collect all that paperwork may have been completed before your actual interview: What you all wait for now is for the potential employer to contact all private investigators, professional adversaries acting as vendors, law enforcement & government officials to get in touch with you personally, to talk to you directly under guise of cover story or false pretense, to find out your attitudes about specific controversial topics that they could only discern as circumstances where one has at stake, absolutely anything significant to win or to lose.  

ARIES – Read Leo. Whether in the sports arena, as the Atlanta Falcons Eugene Robinson, on film, TV or theater, as comedian Bill Cosby, in the music industry, as Sean “Diddy” or “Puffy” Combs, the star wants the public to think well of them as they represent themselves for somebody whom they are not. For the moment, the motivation of the performer does not concern you. Cyllarus conjunct 2001-SQ73 denotes that it is in the public’s interest to see people for who they really are.  

TAURUS – Younger family members will have you believe they are doing fabulously well professionally when they in fact trade upon what you don’t know. No matter – Cyllarus conjunct 2001-SQ73 declares that the world provides a fixed limit to all sorts of deceit. The ugly truth scrapes off the veneer of glossy paint with a potency that painfully strips the stain. Let this be a lesson to those not to misrepresent themselves to the tolerant but underinformed.  

GEMINI – The best way to discern whether an individual is telling the truth under the current influence of Cyllarus conjunct 2001-SQ73 is to ask an extremely penetrating question. Just because one does not answer the question does not mean that they are lying – just the opposite. Conversely, because the answer chronically shocks.  

CANCER – Your net worth is represented by the accumulated aggregation of your assets. Cyllarus conjunct 2001-SQ73 asks, “How can you be sure that the value that you placed on each one of these assets is truly accurate?” Be much more discriminating.  

LEO – Read Aries. You are on the precipice of not only fame, but immortality. Cyllarus conjunct 2001-SQ73 will test you to determine if you are who you say you are. More than half of America at the time who had witnessed the ascent to fame & power from the late Sixties to the early Nineties were prepared to witness O.J. Simpson’s fall from grace. Once bitten, twice shy. Prove that you walk your talk.  

VIRGO – As far as you are concerned, even Michael Jordan had to prove himself – again & again & again. Cyllarus conjunct 2001-SQ73 now agrees, “Enough talk – let’s get to it.”  

LIBRA – The irony of the candidacy of Democrat John F. Kerry in the 2004 Presidential Election is that he acted as if the Presidency & his campaigning for it fell below his elite character – and, watching Kerry’s biography unfold for the last twenty years, it may indeed be true. Keeping former Democratic Senator from Massachusetts in mind, Cyllarus conjunct 2001-SQ73 suggests that you will soon come into direct contact with professional superiors & clients whose personages resemble this elitist attribute. Penetrating questions will indeed be forthcoming. Answer succinctly, referencing without fully articulating deeper backgrounds. Demonstrate high respect not only for your audience but the gravity of the issues you now discuss.  

SCORPIO – To work as a motorcycle police patrolman requires bravery. The detective’s penetrating gaze cracks the air. You are not foolish enough to play one against the other – but Cyllarus conjunct 2001-SQ73 denotes that somebody else is. (You all contend with a profoundly elite integrated team.) As Mr. T. would lament, “Pity the fool.”  

SAGITTARIUS – The ending of Stephen Soderbergh’s Ocean’s Eleven, with the pathos of a classic Hollywood love triangle & Claude Debussy soundtrack, pales wanly in comparison to the pathos of the greatest film of all time, Casablanca, both of which take place at casinos. Why? Cyllarus conjunct 2001-SQ73 replies, “The life circumstances surrounding Casablanca demanded pronounced personal character, not street-smart chutzpah.” There is a meaning to life.  

CAPRICORN – Cyllarus conjunct 2001-SQ73 asserts that a strategic use of balance transfers in conjunction with bank loans can tame your debt quickly. The key: Be way ahead of whatever instrument has a deadline which rewards early payment.  

AQUARIUS – You don’t want to reveal how much you admire your new companion because you are too busy competing with them. Cyllarus conjunct 2001-SQ73 declares that your attitude only aggravates this new partner – and with good reason. Expect this companion to issue a challenge to your personal character designed to dispel your juvenile egoism once & for all.  

PISCES – Weightlifters, gym rats: Sure, your routine will build you up – but something makes you wonder if the results you now see are as ephemeral as sugar. Cyllarus conjunct 2001-SQ73 surmises that they might be. Scale down from heavy bulk weights. Increase repetitions with conspicuously lighter weights. Fool your muscles with concentration as you go through your routine. .

< Cyllarus, a centaur planet that traverses between Uranus & Pluto, was discovered in October 1998 & named in June 2003. Cyllarus, the noble husband of Hylonome, was killed by a random spear from an unknown hand in the battle between the Centaurs & the Lapiths. Upon witnessing the death of Cyllarus, Hylonome committed suicide by jumping on the spear that killed her husband in order to die with him. For further information on how to interpret Cyllarus, formerly 1998-TF35, note reference to Philip Sedgwick below.

ARTICLE #3

2003-WL7< in Virgo trines* Pholus> in Capricorn from July 23, 2024 to August 29, 2025. Either clients or management now save bosses from employees’ requests, complaints or submissions, whether reasonable, unreasonable, necessary or stupid. How? Respectively, either: 1) Clients have work to be done on deadline that they want started now; or 2) Management calculates how to pay such employees enough money, whether via severance pay, rebates, reimbursements or pay-out bonuses, to dissolve their employment relationship with them so as to save money on employment overhead (Read: Medical benefits.)  

ARIES – Bosses may now pay you for extra effort, an offer which will be happily made explicit as “overtime,” or bosses may now pay you for past effort & for no current effort, an offer which will be unhappily made explicit as a “layoff” or a “buy-out.” Either way, 2003-WL7 & Pholus declare that the money will be more than you expect. Take the money – then follow the yellow-brick road.  

TAURUS – Motorbikes on pedestrian sidewalks aggravate you because they are outright treacherous & can cause considerable physical harm of the innocent by the uninsured guilty. Even son, 2003-WL7 & Pholus note that Taurus the Bull will not succumb to intimidation. You know where to stand & how to walk to prevent motorbikes, bicyclists & rude pedestrians from dominating the sidewalk in disregard to everybody else, including you. But be careful – some individuals will not care if they hurt you.  

GEMINI – It does not matter whether you are working in the office or working remotely at home. 2003-WL7 & Pholus guarantee that you will be chained to your desk. You will be busy. It will not matter where you are, but it will matter where your desk is, because your boss will, invariably, find you . . . at your desk.  

CANCER – Don’t call a spouse at work. Don’t call a spouse on their cellphone during work hours. 2003-WL7 & Pholus denote that your spouse must be psychologically & emotionally clear to take sudden telephone calls from clients or their upper management bosses. Don’t burden your spouse with the potential for effusive emotions & irrationality. Concede to your spouse the enclave of tranquil logic.

LEO – Your bosses admire the hyper-robotic efficiency of your experienced consultants. Indeed, your bosses are prone to ask, “Why not have these superstars here all the time?” Because these bosses know the answer but simply do not wish to face it, 2003-WL7 & Pholus make it incumbent upon you to deliver the bad news, “We can’t afford Einstein on tap. What we can afford is Baby Huey’s Nanny on tap.” Still, bosses will insist, “Can’t we find something on the skilled end of the spectrum rather than the unskilled?” Smile sadly, “Bargains are not available every day.”

VIRGO – Many coaches & trainers ask themselves, “What would we need to do to motivate Darryl Strawberry of the late Eighties’ New York Mets in such a way that his achievement mirrored the career of perpetual championship that served as the personal & professional emblem of Edmonton Oiler demigod Mark Messier?” 2003-WL7 & Pholus state that the answer is clear, “If the material reality of that career of perpetual championship does not suffuse the one who already possesses talent & opportunity with the spirit of a limitless will to power, then there is nothing that any other mere human being can do.”  

LIBRA – The City of Philadelphia has recently acquired more than its share of problems. The unjust shooting & death of African-American Eddie Irizarry Jr. through the windshield of his car at the gun in the hands of the Caucasian Philadelphia Police Officer Mark Dial. The murder of revered homosexual journalist & advocate for the homeless & drug-addicted Josh Kruger by a teenage African-American man with whom Kruger is accused of engaging in sex & illegal drug use when the American-American man was an under-age boy. Social media influencer Dayjia “Meatball” Blackwell livestreaming herself yelling “Free cell phones!” during recent Center City riots, outside the Apple Store on Walnut Street. Assigning these three incidents an appropriate playwright, 2003-WL7 & Pholus chooses Dostoyevsky for the police shooting & Shakespeare for the two gay men, as both Dostoyevsky & Shakespeare can depict nobility in a flawed humanity – appropriate, perhaps, for 19th century Philadelphia. As for “Meatball?” Ionesco, author of Rhinoceros, chronicler of the thuggish & barbaric urban jungle – but only after Ionesco finishes his epic about the cocaine hippopotami of post-Pablo Escobar Bogata.  

SCORPIO – Bosses: Too much criticism of you over too much time has led you to censor yourself when issuing instructions. Quite benevolently, business partners who have known you forever now tell you to stop worrying – 2003-WL7 & Pholus exhort you to behave naturally, “Stop being gun-shy! Do those things in those ways which made you a dazzling success right from the very beginning.”  

SAGITTARIUS – Rather than haranguing & harassing you to do an unreasonable amount of work, 2003-WL7 & Pholus declare that mercurial & temperamental bosses will yield to your emotional stability. You will work hard to do all that you can do on a regular basis just as a matter of course. Nobody will intimidate you. You need not draw firm boundaries with which it is impossible to argue legally – instead, you yourself are the firm boundary. Be as clear to discern as the Mason-Dixon Line.  

CAPRICORN – Artists, actors, athletes: Because the public knows that you are rich, disputes against you formalized as lawsuits will escalate. 2003-WL7 & Pholus therefore state that the answer to your problem is easy: The less you see the public, the safer you are. The studio, the stage, the film set, the arena, the field – although this is where you work, this is exactly where the motley public is not allowed. Protect yourself from trouble by secluding yourself, personally & professionally.  

AQUARIUS – Stay close to your home, including when you go out to eat or to have a drink, so that you need not drive. Don’t allow your compute to notify the Internet about your location. 2003-WL7 & Pholus insist that other people – especially people who do not necessarily obey the law – do not need to know anything about you. Protect that precious, privacy.  

PISCES – A rival or an enemy wants to start a fight with your ally or friend. 2003-WL7 & Pholus advise you to grab this ally or friend by the arm & to drag them away physically. If this ally or friend offers resistance, simply continue to drag them away against their will until you get to your car or another save haven. Emphasize loudly & aggressively, “This is non-negotiable.” 

< 2003-WL7 is an unnamed centaur planet discovered on November 16, 2003. The orbit of 2003-WL7 crosses over the orbit of Uranus. 

> Pholus, named after the centaur who accidentally died because mighty Hercules was thirsty, was discovered in 1992 & named in 1996. Pholus bridges the gap in consciousness between Saturn & Neptune, forcing us mere mortals to realize that even our most severe discipline is worthless when God wishes to teach us a lesson.

ARTICLE #4

Elatus< in Scorpio sextiles* Pholus< in Capricorn from September 24, 2024 to November 7, 2025. Business professionals & accountants all over the United States look at the civil trial trying former President Donald J. Trump and the Trump Organization with disbelief at their defense strategy: Former President Donald J. Trump, as well as two of the Trump Organization’s high-ranking officers, his sons, Donald J., Jr. and Eric, state that they did not participate in drafting the financial statements for the firm, and could not be held liable for it, as they simply approved what had been handed to them by the accountants. If it was anybody’s fault, this defense infers, it was the accountants’ fault, even though only former President Trump & his family would enjoy the benefit of those accountants’ errors. Reality only set in, as per Newsweek’s Kate Plummer in “Letitia James Has Found 'Smoking Gun' Against Donald Trump – Attorney,” when, “Lawyers for James' office on Tuesday presented McConney with a draft of Trump's net worth statement for 2014 that had a note in blue ink on the first page that said: ‘DJT TO GET FINAL REVIEW.’” 

ARIES – Administrators, accounting: Bosses are responsible for their own expense report & business credit card transactions. If bosses provide permission for electronic signatures for each & every transaction, then all is well. However, if something is missing or unpaid, Elatus & Pholus denote that you should approach bosses first. 

TAURUS – Whatever the transaction, wherever the transaction, if the customer or client cannot provide whatever information or money is necessary, the transaction will be declined. Elatus & Pholus explain that only transaction accepted for improper or fraudulent reasons will attract the attention of the police – in which case, the client or customer violated will only know of the violation after the transaction has been approved. 

GEMINI – Monitor your monthly credit card statement for ongoing subscription charges. Elatus & Pholus warn that, should you fail to monitor these as they happen, you will find that unauthorized ongoing subscription charges will replicate like a virus. 

CANCER – Yes, leaving a spouse an unexpected dirty voice mail will arouse them – but what if they play it unwittingly on speakerphone during a meeting with a boss. Elatus & Pholus state that the element of surprise does not always delight. Try sexting – it is silent. 

LEO – The same password for your home email account as you did when Steve Case ran AOL before the existence of Google is no big deal – and who wants to read the advertising spam on your personal email account, anyway? But Elatus & Pholus state that logging into work from home is a whole other animal. Whatever the deadline, usually 90 days, change your email password to work based upon something strictly in your short-term memory – the restaurant special at a diner in a different city is perfect. 

VIRGO – Men at work: Elatus & Pholus insist that dirty jokes & photos of hot women clad in bikinis or jack noting in emails is forever banned for distribution – amongst all work channels. What you do at home is your business – but why not get a girlfriend? Why not screw your wife? 

LIBRA – Read Scorpio. Men: If the family patriarch asks you to investigate a situation, and insists that you use code to broach the subject further, Elatus & Pholus advise that you obey. Other family members can be more intrusive than the CIA! 

SCORPIO – Read Libra. The Scorpion is super famous for always being involved in what is covert & secret. Indeed, Elatus & Pholus insist that some colleagues drop your name to watch other people change their behavior. (You don’t believe this? Recall, “When E.F. Hutton talks, people listen.”) 

SAGITTARIUS – Nobody is slicker with slang than Sag the Archer. Unfortunately, Elatus & Pholus suggest that new slang you may learn may attract the attention of the police. (Why? If you didn’t already know it, you parroted some criminal organization’s code.) Careful! 

CAPRICORN – Cops are not always cops – cops are human, too. However, when approaching a cop, especially a friend who is a cop, about police matters, Elatus & Pholus advise that you first approach the cop as a human. Talk football. Then, deep in the third quarter, add, “By the way. . .” Let the cop respond as a cop, “10-4, we’ll swing by on reconnaissance.” 

AQUARIUS – Officers of the firm, especially involving real estate, private equity, law: Internal nomenclature is so thick that it becomes part of the offices in the building. Elatus & Pholus advise against speaking such internal nomenclature outs of those offices. Keep those words, “Professionally toxic.”

PISCES – Detectives: You identify your mark or a criminal party by a clear external mark – tattoo, gang color, baseball cap, scarf, niche sneaker brand. Elatus & Pholus declare that bosses need that information & who the mark or the criminal is. Let them unpackage everything else. 

< Elatus, a centaur planet that traverses the orbits of Saturn & Uranus, was discovered in October 1999 & named in June 2003. Elatus, along with Chiron, was injured by the same poisoned arrow of Hercules when an entire tribe of centaurs attacked Hercules for drinking the communal wine of the tribe while the centaur Pholus cooked & served Hercules dinner. For information on how to interpret Elatus, formerly 1999-UG5, note reference to Philip Sedgwick below. 

> Pholus, named after the centaur who accidentally died because mighty Hercules was thirsty, was discovered in 1992 & named in 1996. Pholus bridges the gap in consciousness between Saturn & Neptune, forcing us mere mortals to realize that even our most severe discipline is worthless when God wishes to teach us a lesson.

ARTICLE #5

Cyllarus< in Leo sextiles* 1998-BU48> in Libra from November 17, 2024 to June 18, 2025. The best possible business partnership happens when one assumes the role of “brains” while the other assumes the role of “brawn.” Not that the one in the role of “brains” is weak; not that the one in the role of “brawn” is stupid. What it really suggests is that the one who assumes the role of “brains” naturally exercises caution while the one who assumes the role of “brawn” naturally indulges impatience. Brawn complains, “Time is wasting!” So, brains lets brawn go – until brains invokes its veto power, “Hold it! Red flag!” 

ARIES – Musicians, Thespians: Sometimes, while in concert with King Crimson, guitarist & lead vocalist Adrian Belew would go off, would get seriously loud & crazy, go way over the top, and all that lead guitarist & just plain leader Robert Fripp would do is smile deeply & nod in approval – until, as Cyllarus & 1998-BU48 note, Fripp would just . . . stop smiling. The song would move in a new direction. 

TAURUS – A business owner who inherits their business from a parent or a long line of dead ancestors sometimes issues instructions from their own personal experience – but, then, Cyllarus & 1998-BU48 state that sometimes the decisions such a business owner makes is channeled from the wisdom of the dead. Learn how to tell the difference between a human mind & the spirits of the lineage of ghosts. 

GEMINI – On “Tangled Up in Blue” off the painfully deep masterpiece Blood on the Tracks, Bob Dylan sings as a lonely man far from home in a gentleman’s club when he is approached from behind by one of the topless strippers, a woman he knew & loved for many years, “I must have felt uneasy when she bent down to tie the laces of my shoes.” Cyllarus & 1998-BU48 cried – they both cried! She loved him – she absolutely loved him. 

CANCER – Rich parents: Do not buy your children privileged toys, like water skis or foreign cars. Cyllarus & 1998-BU48 exhort you to buy a training program for your children such as foreign language classes, musical lessons or flight school so that they may become accomplished adults rather than popular kids. 

LEO – Read Libra. A tight professional partnership with a boss who is really a mentor serves both of you under the current influence of Cyllarus & 1998-BU48. You do the work – they have the veto power. 

VIRGO – You may resent the fact that inhouse professional security conducts ongoing surveillance of you & all your professional business partners, but Cyllarus & 1998-BU48 declare that as long as you keep your nose clean, such surveillance will serve you well if one of your closest partners goes rogue. 

LIBRA – Read Leo. A tight professional partnership with an employee who is really your apprentice serves both of you under the current influence of Cyllarus & 1998-BU48. They do the work – you have the veto power. 

SCORPIO – A titanic law enforcement legend has the law on their side as they harass you mercilessly. However, Cyllarus & 1998-BU48 implore you to realize that such a titanic law enforcement legend believes that you are guilty because they have what they believe to be a reliable eye witness account. Either that reliable eye witness account is telling the truth or lying. If that reliable eye witness account is telling the truth, succumb & submit. If that reliable eye witness account is lying, object vociferously & relentlessly. 

SAGITTARIUS – Cyllarus & 1998-BU48 denote that you & a partner have the potential to be he next great superstar partners since Robert Redford & Paul Newman, Brad Pitt & George Clooney or Steve Carlton & Tim McCarver – or the biggest loser washouts since Dwight Gooden & Darryl Strawberry. The company you keep! 

CAPRICORN – General Growth Properties of Chicago, Illinois wanted to own any public landmarked American property that represented anything special & lucrative in the early Millennium – but then they declared Chapter 11. How did such a well-heeled, slick, wealthy & powerful real estate consortium, rivalled only by Trammell Crow of Dallas, Texas, engineer such a titanic failure? Cyllarus & 1998-BU48 reply, “Their eyes were bigger than their stomach.” 

AQUARIUS – Musicians: Being a front-man takes too much energy away from composition & virtuosity. Cyllarus & 1998-BU48 insist that you need not be Jim Morrison or Roger Daltrey – Ray Manzarek & Pete Townshend got plenty of attention. On top of that, when the front-man went over the top, it plays to your strength, “Yo, Hercules! Keep it real.” 

PISCES – While it may be counterintuitive to suggest that an arduous gym regimen will help stabilize contentious marital & business relations, Cyllarus & 1998-BU48 insist that heavy lifting & long-distance running will kill all your nervous energy. Your muscles are too sore to tense up. Your body is too exhausted & relaxed to mirror some partner’s enervated rage. 

< Cyllarus, a centaur planet that traverses between Uranus & Pluto, was discovered in October 1998 & named in June 2003. Cyllarus, the noble husband of Hylonome, was killed by a random spear from an unknown hand in the battle between the Centaurs & the Lapiths. Upon witnessing the death of Cyllarus, Hylonome committed suicide by jumping on the spear that killed her husband in order to die with him. For further information on how to interpret Cyllarus, formerly 1998-TF35, note reference to Philip Sedgwick below. 

> 1998-BU48 is an unnamed transneptunian object (TNO) discovered on January 22, 1998. The orbit of 1998-BU48 traverses from the orbit of Uranus out past the orbit of Pluto. For information on how to interpret 1998-BU48, note reference to Philip Sedgwick below.

1999-OX3! in Taurus squares1 Chariklo^ conjunct2 2003-CO1< conjunct2 2001-KF77> in Aquarius from December 17, 2024 to June 14, 2025. The danger in inherently dismissing the self-serving nature of public statements & grandstanding public relations stunts, whether made by political ideologues or by billionaire high-tech plutocrats, lies in disregarding the timeline of their ultimate agenda. The point of such statements & stunts is to debase the public discourse so that responsible people who do not respect such tactics will disengage, leaving only those individuals who treat all of life like a clown show – because, ultimately, all that they know how to do is to look in the mirror.  

ARIES – Accountants who do not properly abide by accounting standards seek to dismiss accounting standards as irrelevant to the issue at hand. 1999-OX3, 2003-CO1, Chariklo & 2001-KF77 counter that, without criteria, even the most self-destructive, pathetic mess of a “business” is acceptable – and that is simply not the case.  

TAURUS – Pure symbolic logic is non-inductive – if A, then B. Logicians apply pure symbolic logic to inductive narratives – if it rains, the ground gets wet. 1999-OX3, 2003-CO1, Chariklo & 2001-KF77 now cites pure symbolic logic because certain theorists will bring up theories that are wrong – if I sell individual products at a loss, I will make a profit if I sell them in volume. Beware the clever packaging of incorrect ideas.  

GEMINI – There are those who will never know better & those who should know better. When both do something egregiously wrong, those who will never know better, most often, get punished severely, while those who should know better usually get away with a slap on the wrist, at that. 1999-OX3, 2003-CO1, Chariklo & 2001-KF77 declare that this dynamic should be reversed. Do your level best to restore the scales to the proper equilibrium.  

CANCER – The most destructive part of the bad business decision Anheuser-Busch made when it hired transgender actress Dylan Mulvaney as spokesperson for Bud Light is that it caused its long-time, loyal clientele to mistrust it as a brand. 1999-OX3, 2003-CO1, Chariklo & 2001-KF77 qualify that, while the consumer will forgive a company for launching an inferior product, that consumer will punish a company which transgresses its public image.  

LEO – Bosses do not want to work with idiots – and 1999-OX3, 2003-CO1, Chariklo & 2001-KF77 state that bosses consider many, but not all, of your business partners to be idiots. Your boss will tell you, and has already repeatedly told you, whom amongst your business partners are not idiots. Coordinate with them & only with them. As for the idiots: Meet them only after you have already talked with bosses – and meet them with the business partners whom bosses respect.  

VIRGO – Publishers, editors, readers of fiction & non-fiction: Announce, to those who need to know, that you trust certain authors & book reviewers. Gallery owners: Declare the criteria for artists whom you curate, then list those artists. 1999-OX3, 2003-CO1, Chariklo & 2001-KF77 warn that flippant & undereducated minds wish to “expand your canon.” Have none of it. This is what works – stick with it.  

LIBRA – Prominent individuals with a high public profile: You know the difference between right & wrong morally, legally & illegally under the written law, and you know for a fact that specific individuals are operating illegal operations on a routine basis. Should you speak out publicly? 1999-OX3, 2003-CO1, Chariklo & 2001-KF77 reply, “1) Only if you are invulnerable to harm; and 2) Only if your strategic law enforcement or political purpose would serve a genuinely effective purpose.” Don’t make things worse by trying to make things better.  

SCORPIO –Business partners have a practical outlook, not an academic or intellectual outlook. This, at times, makes one vulnerable to crackpots, as you have seen recently. Now you have the opportunity to enlist the help of a local, brilliant university professor to give your partner some scope – and, as 1999-OX3, 2003-CO1, Chariklo & 2001-KF77 note, to protect less erudite business partners from intellectual corruption by morons.  

SAGITTARIUS – Corporate executives: Both skilled professional trainers on computers & high-tech protocol & intelligent reserved employees are is worth their weight in gold under the current influence of 1999-OX3, 2003-CO1, Chariklo & 2001-KF77. Such individuals edify your corporate infrastructure – while fools who speak & act in unthinkable & outrageous ways actually make certain types of bad behavior societally acceptable.  

CAPRICORN –Artists, writers, painters, filmmakers: You now know, as the result of a consultation with a gallery owner, literary agent or film producer, what your current (project) (pipe dream) is likely to cost – and how much it is likely to bring in. 1999-OX3, 2003-CO1, Chariklo & 2001-KF77implore you not to disregard what they tell you simply because you dislike their accurate mathematics. Fine art is not pure hand-to-mouth market capitalism. Don’t confuse t-shirt designs for the masses with an artistic masterpiece for a plutocrat attending Art Basel in Miami.  

AQUARIUS – Local politicians: Complaints to you from citizens earlier in the year about misleading statements by your fellow local politicians now resurface, and, instead of offering some short-term solution to the problem, you investigated their complaints. 1999-OX3, 2003-CO1, Chariklo & 2001-KF77 declare that you should now know which of those complaints are valid & which are hot air. Prepare your agenda. Make your moves.  

PISCES – Somebody in your social circle who is an expert at tasks you have recently addressed & still currently address showed what needed to be done. 1999-OX3, 2003-CO1, Chariklo & 2001-KF77 state that now is the time to do it. Hire that expert & work with them side by side to bang it out. Disregard fools who simply want in on somebody else’s action.

! 1999-OX3 is an unnamed transneptunian object (TNO) discovered on July 21, 1999. The orbit of 1999-OX3 traverses between the orbits of Uranus & Pluto. For information on how to interpret 1999-OX3, note reference to Philip Sedgwick below.

^ Chariklo, named after the wife of the centaur Chiron who enjoyed a close friendship with Pallas Athena, was discovered in February 1997 & named in September 1999.

ARTICLE #7

Thereus< conjuncts1 1998-BU48> in Libra from October 30, 2024 to April 9, 2025. A predator lurks as Thereus< conjuncts1 1998-BU48> conjuncts1 the South Node$ in Libra from November 8 to December 20, 2024. Will that predator strike immediately – such as when Stationary2 Mars conjunct1 Cyllarus>> conjunct1 2001-SQ73>> in Leo sextiles3 Thereus< conjunct1 1998-BU48> in Libra from December 5 to 9, 2024? Certainly, the time will be ripe for one such predator to strike – but not every predator will choose to do so. The predator has its own timeline. The predator negotiates according to the availability & vulnerability of its prey.  

ARIES – Read Leo. You don’t trust an unknown & unquantifiable new individual in your general environment. You do not want to wait in order to act – but Thereus & 1998-BU48 insist that there is nothing you can do. Simply observe – but observe closely.  

TAURUS – A new employee or colleague with a negative vibe has an agenda that you don’t know but that you don’t like. Thereus & 1998-BU48 denote that you cannot react until they act. This new employee or colleague knows this and intends to manipulate workplace opinion & detached professional superiors. Don’t jump the gun. Engage actively without overtly opposing.  

GEMINI – Romance? Possibly. Love? Ideally. Much more likely, Thereus & 1998-BU48 estimates, “Seduction.” What do you have to lose? Beware.  

CANCER – Parents: As a parent, you have much more latitude to restrain a child or family member whose attitude & behavior signals nefarious intent than a professional authority figure or even law enforcement official does with sovereign citizens. Even so, Thereus & 1998-BU48 advise you not to overplay your hand prematurely. Establish restrictions which address entirely different issues but contain the negative behavior in question.  

LEO – Read Aries. Law enforcement: An unknown & unquantifiable new individual in your general environment is up to no good. Thereus & 1998-BU48 confirm that you cannot act, but that you can watch them. Watch them closely.  

VIRGO – Military leaders, corporate executives, mayors: You send a spy into the camp of the enemy or enemy leaders send a spy into your camp. Thereus & 1998-BU48 declare that you know because you smell but the insights of your nose are not valid according to the law. Extreme discretion is paramount. This is intrigue at its most negative.  

LIBRA – Read Scorpio. Outsiders: Locals in the general environment perceive you as the enemy. Are they paranoid? Presuming you are doing, or, more importantly, intending, nothing wrong, Thereus & 1998-BU48 respond, “Perhaps.” Maybe they have a reason to be paranoid. Maybe it is not you that really worries them. Make no snap judgments.  

SCORPIO – Read Libra. Law enforcement keeps upon you because, even though you are doing nothing, they believe you pose a threat. Despite the personal nature of this, Thereus & 1998-BU48 recommend that you do not take this personally. Rather, realize that a threat exists. You are merely the most prominent of “the usual suspects.”  

SAGITTARIUS – You can already deeply feel how an ally or adversary will betray or sabotage your expansive & lucrative agenda. Thereus & 1998-BU48 impel you not to wait for that other shoe to drop. Take very active yet procedural steps to forestall interference & aggression.  

CAPRICORN – Read Aquarius. Thereus & 1998-BU48 severely warn that banks, credit card agencies & those to whom you own money are monitoring you & your financial dealings very closely. Expect these creditors at act harshly against you without previous notice.  

AQUARIUS – Read Capricorn. Adversaries & enemies prepare civil litigation action against you under the current influence of Thereus & 1998-BU48. The timetable will not be yours.  

PISCES – You cannot trust your work colleagues & fellow employees. While you should not stir up any gratuitous trouble, if you have any actionable complaints about them, no matter how petty, Thereus & 1998-BU48 advise you to contact human resources. It doesn’t matter what human resources says or does – only that they know.

> Thereus, a centaur planet that traverses the orbit of Saturn, was discovered in August 2001 & named in June 2003. Thereus was a centaur who hunted bears which, upon capture, he carried home alive. For information on how to interpret Thereus, formerly 2001-PT13, note reference to Philip Sedgwick below. 

> 1998-BU48 is an unnamed transneptunian object (TNO) discovered on January 22, 1998. The orbit of 1998-BU48 traverses from the orbit of Uranus out past the orbit of Pluto. For information on how to interpret 1998-BU48, note reference to Philip Sedgwick below. 

Juan Antonio Revilla

postulates that 1998-BU48 should be named Alastor, after one of the four demon-steeds of Pluto's chariot. 

<< Cyllarus, a centaur planet that traverses between Uranus & Pluto, was discovered in October 1998 & named in June 2003. Cyllarus, the noble husband of Hylonome, was killed by a random spear from an unknown hand in the battle between the Centaurs & the Lapiths. Upon witnessing the death of Cyllarus, Hylonome committed suicide by jumping on the spear that killed her husband in order to die with him.

1 A Conjunction is a harmonious aspect wherein two or more planets meet as they transit the same sign.

2 Planets either move forward, in which case they orbit in Direct Motion, or move backward, in which case they orbit in Retrograde Motion. Planets in Direct Motion seek to make progress, while Planets in Retrograde Motion seek to redress past imbalances.

3 A Sextile is a harmonious yet primarily mental & social aspect between either Fire & Air signs (Fire being Aries, Leo, Sagittarius; & Air being Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) or Earth & Water signs (Earth being Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn; & Water being Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces).

ARTICLE #8

Echeclus^ in Leo & Cancer transits Retrograde Motion* from November 5, 2024 to April 4, 2025, during which Cyllarus< in Leo transits Retrograde Motion* from November 8, 2024 to April 16, 2025, and during which 2001-SQ73> in Leo transits Retrograde Motion* from November 10, 2024 to April 12, 2025. The only way that you will find something you lost, or target an individual who insists upon evading you, is by looking in the same places where you expect it or them to be, over & over & over again. Don’t listen to vain outsiders who insist, “Think outside of the box.” The box is what you know. In order to have an insight into what you don’t know. To unearth where else such insight may reside, you must exhaust every attempt to catalogue & to categorize all that you know & control within that box – the sheer pressure of your failed search will in & of itself force the inevitable breakthrough.  

ARIES – Athletes, romantic suitors: Strange as it sounds, if you want to win, and you want to win love, Echeclus, Cyllarus & 2001-SQ73, all in Retrograde in Leo, demand that you prepare. Prepare what? Technique? No! You prepare your self. You already do what you do the way you do it – that does not change. You must be ready for what you do not & cannot expect. Your response is not something you will do – it will be the individual whom you are.

TAURUS – Family members & children who have gotten too big for their britches will not tolerate your reproach or chastisement as they now steamroll all competition. Do you intervene or let things take their course? Echeclus, Cyllarus & 2001-SQ73, all in Retrograde in Leo, reply, “Do nothing. Just observe.” Circumstances develop – nothing remains static. Do not interrupt proactively. Act in response to what actually happens – when your action warrants it.  

GEMINI – Read Cancer. The choice is theirs: Vendors & employees with a short-term advantage as a result of supply chain or personnel issues will either leverage it or will take a hit themselves to maintain the good will of the customer. Either way, Echeclus, Cyllarus & 2001-SQ73, all in Retrograde in Leo, comment that the supply chain or personnel issues will resolve themselves – but the personal characters of the vendors & employees which they unwittingly revealed will remain the same. Keep a mild temper & a long memory. Observe. Remember.  

CANCER – Read Gemini. So you (made a bundle) (lost your shirt)? In real business or that mirage called “the stock market?” Echeclus, Cyllarus & 2001-SQ73, all in Retrograde in Leo, shrug – but also remind you “Short-term financial advantage or disadvantage is fleeting.” Why you do how you do what you do is much more important. Do nothing to violate your conscience. Do everything to enhance & to strengthen your nobility. Value dharma over ephemeral results

LEO – Ring every bell, toot every whistle, cross every T, dot every I & hammer every single nail as you prepare to make your star appearance for the ages – then wait. Echeclus, Cyllarus & 2001-SQ73, all in Retrograde in Leo, announce that further changes are forthcoming. You may then ask, “What did I do wrong?” The answer: “Nothing.” Truth be told, everybody else must catch up with you. Be prepared for an avalanche of other peoples’ ineptitude.  

VIRGO – You recently learned that, as a result of all the low blows dished out by unseen enemies behind your back, you can take a punch. That’s great – but, even so, Echeclus, Cyllarus & 2001-SQ73, all in Retrograde in Leo, advise you to stay out of the spotlight. Masochism is not courage. Endeavor to identify secret enemies from silent allies.  

LIBRA – Echeclus, Cyllarus & 2001-SQ73, all in Retrograde in Leo, demand that you reassess the validity & value of the characters & personages of allies & adversaries. Not only to prepare for the next six months, but for the long haul. Character is fate. Don’t be fooled by “issues.”  

SCORPIO – Are law enforcement officials, vested with legitimate legal authority, fulfilling the duties of their positions of responsibility. Are law enforcement officials, vested with legitimate legal authority, feeding a very unhealthy ego? Echeclus, Cyllarus & 2001-SQ73, all in Retrograde in Leo, declare that this is the $64,000 question. Take your time. Study the phenomenon. Develop an answer longer . . . than one word.  

SAGITTARIUS – You are reminded that some casual or leisure activity is decidedly illegal, and, for whatever reason, this attracts you to it more, like a magnet. Echeclus, Cyllarus & 2001-SQ73, all in Retrograde in Leo, demand that you repel that magnet to remain in good standing with the law & to fulfill your responsibility as an adult. If necessary, seek worthwhile professional counseling. Ruthlessly redress & recalibrate unconscious motivations to danger & self-destruction.  

CAPRICORN – Declaring bankruptcy is easy – a lot of paperwork & aggravation, particularly negotiations, but, ultimately, easy. Echeclus, Cyllarus & 2001-SQ73, all in Retrograde in Leo, confirm that what is not easy at all is rebuilding relationships you destroy by declaring bankruptcy – or building new relationships in view of your deadbeat status. Indeed, it will be much easier for those with whom you had or want to have relationships, because they will simply write you off summarily. Anticipate consequences before taking irrevocable action. Demonstrate good faith under duress.  

AQUARIUS – Partners & rivals roar like lions, thump their chests, declare their eternal dominion, then disappear. Will they get what they want? You don’t care – nor, as Echeclus, Cyllarus & 2001-SQ73, all in Retrograde in Leo, confirm, should you. Do you try to figure out why they behave so badly? Of course! Do you forgive them for it? Well, that depends upon the conclusion of your psychological & judicial analysis, doesn’t it?  

PISCES – Parents working as skilled professionals: You are working to secure enough money for your family – not for the empty & uncompensated prestige of colleagues. Point conceded, Echeclus, Cyllarus & 2001-SQ73, all in Retrograde in Leo, insist that you do your job well – and that your colleagues & employees do their jobs well. Work commands applied intelligence & focused effort. The workplace is not a pilot screenplay for a sitcom. Emphasize expertise, capability & diligence. Work does not get done by itself!

^ Echeclus, a centaur planet that traverses from the orbit of Jupiter to the orbit of Uranus, was discovered in March 2000 & named in February 2006.

ARTICLE #9

Saturn conjuncts@
Nessus* in Pisces
from December 28, 2024 to March 15, 2025.

They hadn’t seen each other since the Super Bowl afterparty, so they decided to just meet for breakfast at the diner – it would be easier.

They kissed. They sat down. Even though they had not seen each other for several weeks, the silence felt comfortable. They looked over the menu with deep interest. After the waiter came & took their order, then returned immediately with their coffee, they regarded each other at length.

He knew, sometimes, that he spoke cryptic nonsense, so he tried to keep it light & topical, “Don’t know if you saw it in the news – Oklahoma City will be building the tallest skyscraper in America.”

She waved her right hand in dismissive disgust. “Sears Tower in Chicago, Boardwalk at Bricktown in Oklahoma City, is there really any difference?”

Her eyes bulged. She gasped in disbelief. “Oh, my God!” she exclaimed. “I had forgotten all about it and you just reminded me. I was going to tell you about the novella I just started writing!”

He regarded her duly, misunderstanding. “I didn’t know that you wrote!” he objected.

“Usually, just songs,” she replied. She paused. “Can I tell you?”

He regarded her duly, understanding better. “Sure, you can tell me!”

“Fay Wray meets Judy Garland for breakfast at the Chock Full of Nuts at the Empire State Building to discuss the assigned topic of the two books they read for their own private book club on April 4, 1973,” she begins.

“That is the day they opened New York City’s World Trade Center,” he comments.

She smiled, clapped her hands & pointed at him. “You are very astute!”

“And one month before they finished building the Sears Tower in Chicago,” he finished his thought.

“Please stop mentioning these noplace backwaters,” she asked petulantly.

She continued. “Anyway, they are about to record their discussion about The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged – ”

“By Ayn Rand,” he filled in the blank.

“ – according to the assigned topic on a cassette player for distribution on NPR Radio,” she concluded. “In terms of the discussion, Fay Wray agreed to confine her perspective to King Kong – ”

“Explaining the Empire State Building,” he commented.

“– and Judy Garland agreed to confine her perspective to The Wizard of Oz,” she defined.

“Explaining . . . ,” he commented, “what?”

She paused. She regarded him with reproach.

“That men are still scary to women even in a prepubescent state of nature.” He extended open palms from his forearms before him.

“How could I be so foolish?” he asked – rhetorically.

He put cream in his coffee. He looked her in the eye. “So,” he began. “What is the assigned topic?”

“‘Is Ayn Rand a feminist?’” she smiled.

He smiled. He grinned.

“You like it?” she asked.

“What’s not to like?” he asked. “I assume that, given that Judy Garland died in 1967, this is revisionist history.”

“Glenn Ford decides to retire & to marry Judy Garland in 1963 after the success of The Courtship of Eddie’s Father,” she explained.

“Too much information,” he complained.

“And it is revisionist historical fiction,” she corrected him.

“I stand corrected,” he said, “but, for the moment, I’ll just sit.”

“So, Fay Wray turns on the cassette recorder, and the two discuss if Ayn Rand is a feminist, based upon The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged while eating breakfast at the Chock Full of Nuts at the Empire State Building for their own private book club on April 4, 1973,” she concluded.

“Referencing the archetypical architect Howard Roark and the archetypical engineer & inventor John Galt, both with utterly inviolable ethics,” he inferred.

“Of course!” she concurred.

“Ironically,” he added, “on the day they opened New York City’s World Trade Center.”

“It is not irony when you do it on purpose,” she corrected him. She absolutely smirked.

He sipped his coffee. He paused. He thought. “Like the groundbreaking of Liberty One on the day of the MOVE bombing,” he commented.

She paused. She did not know what he said. “I’m sorry?” she apologized.

 “Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain,” he instructed via quotation. “What did you conclude?”

“What did they conclude?” she corrected him. “This is revisionist historical fiction!”

“But of course!” he confirmed.

She paused a dramatic pause for her big finale. “‘A real woman attracts a man who will then take care of their family,’” she replied.

 He sipped more coffee. He paused. “The two of them thought that?”

“The two of them concluded that, yes,” she softened her correction.

“Well,” he said, “I must read this book.”

“Novella,” she corrected. The waiter carrying their food was arriving.

“But I think she – Ayn Rand, that is – would see it differently,” he disagreed.

 “Do tell,” she instructed. “I’ll keep it brief so we can eat,” he said as the waiter served them their food. “Ayn Rand was not a Puritanical North American native,” he explained. “She was attracted to a man who knew his own power, and who proved it by building his symbol of that power, the skyscraper. What he did after that was his own business.”

“Their own business,” she corrected.

He paused. He grinned. “No comment.”

The waiter left.

“Breakfast is hot,” he raised his fork. “To be continued.”  

ARIES – Write down the scariest dreams you have under the current influence of Saturn & Nessus in a journal. They, most likely, do not reflect your psychological state of mind. Rather, they reflect the impersonal admonitions of the internationally mundane zeitgeist. How can you share them if you don’t accurately record them?  

TAURUS – Partisan voters have flippant opinions about enormously complex political positions, particularly, for example, the U.S.–Mexican border – and Texas Governor Jim Abbott & Florida Governor Ron DeSantis have flippant policies regarding those who cross that border. Saturn & Nessus will, down the line, punish such flippancy. Don’t disagree, however, with anybody. Simply infer what will happen, logically, when somebody induces a cause.  

GEMINI – Some labor is robotic & transparent, while some labor demands absolute 1000% concentration as life & death circumstances are involved. Saturn & Nessus now put the chocolate in the peanut butter: Some labor which is robotic & transparent demands absolute 1000% concentration as life & death circumstances are involved. For example, ironworkers shouldn’t drink booze at lunch when they must ascend to the half-built forty-fourth floor of the structural skeleton of the skyscraper.  

CANCER – Local anecdote has it that a large swath of Halifax, Nova Scotia is haunted with spirits cloistered indoors during the Halifax Explosion of 1917. Because Halifax had been at the apex of its civic reputation & international glory as the North American headquarters of the British Navy during World War I, Saturn & Nessus can empathize with Haligonians who believe that absolutely no good came from such a calamity. However, whether one believes in spirits or not, not every man is privy to the wisdom of the dead.  

LEO – Would the noble Leo the Lion wish to indulge a truly delectable, forbidden pornographic pleasure? Forget naked bodies – Saturn & Nessus counter that such prurient interest is for teenagers. No, this is better: Study the exploits of rogue cops of your metropolis dating back to the beginning of your city’s history. Ronnie Van Zant sings “That Smell” off Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Street Survivors, “The smell of death surrounds you.”  

VIRGO – A perpetually unresolved issue in New York City’s art world involves whether the landscape painter April Gornik is equivalent in skill & accomplishment to her husband Eric Fischl, and, therefore, to contemporary art’s greatest couples, including Lee Krasner & Jackson Pollock, Elaine & Willem deKooning, and Joan Mitchell & Jean-Paul Riopelle. But do April & Eric even care? Saturn & Nessus say, “Probably not.” McEnery & Skarstedt have booked their next shows, respectively; they have tangible deadlines; they have rich, famous & accomplished friends. They can travel when & where they like with either media attention, or not.  

LIBRA – Financiers: Joseph Jett killed Kidder Peabody. Nick Leeson killed Barings Bank, But Saturn & Nessus smile, “Bernie Madoff killed every success that he & his bloodline ever had.” Nepotism into the ninth circle of Hell, “Brimstone.”  

SCORPIO – Porn star Ron Jeremy committed sexual harassment and rape? Really, how unnecessary! How unseemly! Saturn & Nessus state that Brad Pitt as Tyler Durden in Fight Club demonstrated to the entire world throughout history that there is a place in society for indulging unbridled lust – without engaging in it before the camera. Yes, children are expensive – and if you make children, from scratch, you pay for them. But a porn star guilty of sexual harassment and rape – what exactly does a cockroach or a bedbug revile?  

SAGITTARIUS – Whether your grandmother or grandfather is dead or alive, when they were alive, they could not tell you things you needed to know about yourself or your family because 1) Your grandmother & grandfather were authority figures who both knew that those things are outright occult & forbidden; and 2) You had, and you have, no attention span. So why does your grandmother or grandfather act so outrageously, speak so loudly & seem so irrational in your dreams? Partially, most likely, because they are already dead – but Saturn & Nessus state that there is something that you need to know, and your grandparents are simply trying to ensure that no subtlety will be lost on you – which explains why they are not subtle at all.  

CAPRICORN – As you discuss the history of architecture or skyscrapers in your city, particularly if you live on the east coast, you do not view it as an unpopulated ghost town. But how do you view it? Simple – Saturn & Nessus surmise that, whether consciously or otherwise, you believe in reincarnation. Further, you believe that, while people “evolve,” people really do not change.

AQUARIUS – Reincarnation? Cool! So, who was John Lennon in a past life? What about Arnold Schwarzenegger? John Elway? Sidney Crosby? Salman Rushdie? What did they do in the past that they needed to return? And, as Saturn & Nessus look forward, “Who will these individuals be when they return and what will they do when they come back?”  

PISCES – Read Aquarius. You have premonitions of your reincarnational lives & the purpose of your eternal soul. Do you tell anybody? Saturn & Nessus suggest, “Similarly inclined friends, for sure.” But how do you know? Prove it. Not to a scientist, for God’s sake. Start small. Prove it to yourself, “What would Jane Roberts do?” ” 

* Nessus, named after the centaur whose bloodied & semen-stained shirt eventually killed Hercules, was discovered during the siege at Waco in April 1993 & named in 1997. Nessus bridges the gap in consciousness between Saturn & Pluto, forcing us to discard naivete about jealousy, anger, irrationality & evil in ourselves & in others so that we may cultivate the will & the stomach to evolve as a species.

ARTICLE #10

Cyllarus^ in Leo sextiles1 Thereus< conjunct2 1998-BU48> in Libra from December 13, 2024 to March 22, 2025. The recent arrest of Luigi Mangione for the assassination of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson at dawn on the streets of Manhattan on December 4, 2024 in no way closes the book, either on the investigation of this assassination or more especially upon how law enforcement must now approach the protection of significant public figures. What is alleged is that an unknown but nevertheless highly prestigious & academically accomplished blue-blooded Ivy League graduate used the pretext of doing significant research in planning this assassination as a personal homework assignment. To be fair, some mass murderers, such as the 2017 Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock or the 2012 Aurora Batman murdered James Eagan Holmes, have done similar levels of research to execute outright bloodbaths – but the assassination of United Healthcare CEO Thompson is a different phenomenon. As former Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau said to journalist Tim Ralfe across from Parliament in Ottawa at the beginning of the October Crisis in 1970, “You can’t protect them all, but are you therefore arguing that you shouldn’t protect any?” Skilled, intelligent & highly strategic law enforcement officials must feel chills running up & down their spines.  

ARIES – Singles in romantic relationships: Do not propose marriage until after you get in your first fight. Because all intimate relationships have their blind spots, Cyllarus, Thereus & 1998-BU48 require that you identify what those blind spots are first before committing to irrevocable next steps. Remember: Love may be blind – but marriage requires clear vision as well as love.  

TAURUS – Employees of business owners who have inherited their business from a parent or a long line of dead ancestors can & do operate from intuition as well as instruction. Cyllarus, Thereus & 1998-BU48 strongly advise you not to underestimate them. Acting in concert with the intentions of the spirits of the lineage of ghosts is hard-won knowledge that is hard won indeed.  

GEMINI – Lovers with new loves: Romantic gestures & sweet nothings in the ears! Bestill thy beating heart. That being said, Cyllarus, Thereus & 1998-BU48 urge you to appraise more coldly, “Are such gestures & breathy words expressions of deep affection – or the hardware & couture for a strategic seduction?” Careful how you answer!  

CANCER – Rich parents: Withhold privileged toys, like water skis or foreign cars, from your spoiled children. Cyllarus, Thereus & 1998-BU48 know that you want to buy a training program for your children such as foreign language classes, musical lessons or flight school so that they may become accomplished adults rather than popular kids. Make them beg. Gain negotiating leverage. Indoctrinate achievement into nouveau hedonists.  

LEO – Read Libra. While a tight professional partnership with a boss who is really a mentor serves both of you under the current influence of Cyllarus, Thereus & 1998-BU48, you must remember that they have the veto power – and they can & will use it abruptly, without warning.  

VIRGO – Yes, you resent the fact that inhouse professional security conducts ongoing surveillance of you & all your partners. Nevertheless, Cyllarus, Thereus & 1998-BU48 insist that there is a reason for it – which you shall see as one of your closest partners goes rogue. Just keep your nose clean.  

LIBRA – Read Leo. Let an employee with whom you have a tight professional partnership act as they see fit. Cyllarus, Thereus & 1998-BU48 remind both of you that you have the veto power – nobody is about to forget it.  

SCORPIO – A titanic law enforcement legend has the law on their side as they harass you mercilessly because they have what they believe to be a reliable eyewitness account. Then again, such a titanic law enforcement legend believes that you are guilty without such a witness. Either that reliable eyewitness account is telling the truth or lying. Given such a cruel & uncompromising position, Cyllarus, Thereus & 1998-BU48 demands that you wait for the right moment, with the right personnel, to ambush that witness & to extract the truth from them so as to release yourself from such insulting injustice.  

SAGITTARIUS – Law enforcement officials, school administrators & disciplinarians: You must economize your resources. Cyllarus, Thereus & 1998-BU48 warn that, at any time, a spectacular event or crisis will demand that you deploy & exhaust truly finite resources. Use no shotguns on individual mosquitos. Know not just how, but when & why, to escalate.  

CAPRICORN – Whether it is you, your company or somebody else, somebody out there is accumulating massive amounts of debt to acquire massive amounts of property. Cyllarus, Thereus & 1998-BU48 informs you that what you need to know is that banks & credit agencies are keeping score. Every request will be granted until such point as every request will be denied. Don’t allow your own eyes to be bigger than your stomachs – and position your own self to punish such destructive, self-destructive & selfish avarice.  

AQUARIUS – Cyllarus, Thereus & 1998-BU48 reminds you that, while the spokesperson gets all the public attention, without the brains behind the operation, the spokesperson is useless. In all such circumstances, the spokesperson carries on . . . . until the brains chooses to veto.  

PISCES – You have to be ready for anything. While it may be counterintuitive to suggest that an arduous gym regimen will help stabilize contentious marital & business relations, Cyllarus, Thereus & 1998-BU48 insist that heavy lifting & long-distance running will kill all your nervous energy. Your muscles are too sore to tense up. Partners acting in bad faith will be surprised that you don’t recoil at their selfish ambush. Fortunately, your body will be too relaxed to mirror such insulting manipulation. You will not react – you will respond. 

^ Cyllarus, a centaur planet that traverses between Uranus & Pluto, was discovered in October 1998 & named in June 2003. Cyllarus, the noble husband of Hylonome, was killed by a random spear from an unknown hand in the battle between the Centaurs & the Lapiths. Upon witnessing the death of Cyllarus, Hylonome committed suicide by jumping on the spear that killed her husband in order to die with him. For further information on how to interpret Cyllarus, formerly 1998-TF35, note reference to Philip Sedgwick below

> Thereus, a centaur planet that traverses the orbit of Saturn, was discovered in August 2001 & named in June 2003. Thereus was a centaur who hunted bears which, upon capture, he carried home alive. For information on how to interpret Thereus, formerly 2001-PT13, note reference to Philip Sedgwick below. 

> 1998-BU48 is an unnamed transneptunian object (TNO) discovered on January 22, 1998. The orbit of 1998-BU48 traverses from the orbit of Uranus out past the orbit of Pluto. For information on how to interpret 1998-BU48, note reference to Philip Sedgwick below.

ARTICLE #11

Aphidas* in Virgo opposes1 Nessus! in Pisces from August 21, 2024 to April 4, 2025. Flaunting expertise, including, but not limited to, knowledge of technology involving cell phones, aps, personal computers, clouds & the Internet (as well as, of course, driving automobiles) before the uninitiated, and letting the uninitiated know not only that one flaunting such expertise is smart but that the other lacking such expertise is not, sets up a rather predictable extremely harsh backlash. Similarly, secular types who assert that it is outright backward to believe in, and to worship, God, whichever flavor of God that might be, will inevitably endure the fury of the devout who cling to, and who have a constitutional & human right to cling to, their religion, for personal, familial, psychological, sociological & financial reasons of their own. Therefore, if your DNA prevents you from speaking & acting charitably, be silent – and do nothing.  

ARIES – Skill empowers the spirit. However, Aphidas opposite Nessus warns that skill that one takes for granted inflates the ego, encourages contempt for those who do not possess that skill & inclines one towards hubris. Don’t congratulate yourself, with an eye of contempt for others, for gifts & talents bestowed upon you. Share knowledge & skills to give life & strength to the powerless.

TAURUS – Artists, writers, performers, athletes, including acrobats and gymnasts, automobile race car drivers: You want to test your chops. You want to make some slick, daring, hard-to-execute moves. While that is all well & good, Aphidas opposite Nessus reminds you that demanding & cynical audiences will claim either that you are showing off or that you make your best moves when there are no stakes involved. Take no risks in front of an unsupportive public. Furthermore, when competing previous to playoffs & championships, concentrate upon winning the game or event with as little flash & dazzle as necessary so as to avoid rubbing the salt in bitter competitors’ wounds. But during playoffs & championships? Killer instinct!  

GEMINI – If you snap harshly at spouse, children or family members at home when you get annoyed, then Aphidas opposite Nessus indicates that you may unwittingly snap harshly at professional superiors & bosses by sheer habit. This would not end well. Temper what you say to each & every individual whom you see every day.  

CANCER – Merchant-customer & cashier-customer hostility increases sharply under the current influence of Aphidas opposite Nessus, particularly when the merchant or cashier is of a different race, religion or nationality than the customer. Discussing platitudes about race, religion or nationality flatters each & every participant as enlightened, worthy individuals – conflicts in transaction & with meager dead presidents, coinage & debit cards brings out the unconscious malice. Steer clear of the usual suspects in the marketplace looking to give you a bitter argument over a coupon, a rain check, an extra soy sauce or ketchup, or a penny.  

LEO – You have skill & accomplishments, and the employees directly under your charge have skill & accomplishments, which embarrasses lazy & corrupt colleagues, employees & adversaries within your company, market sector or industry. And, because you & those under your charge have those skills & accomplishments, you all flaunt it before those lazy & corrupt. However, because it has always been like that, and it will always be like that, Aphidas opposite Nessus advises you to do nothing different. The zodiac now turns to highlight questions of inherent personal character because leopards cannot, or outright refuse to, change their spots.  

VIRGO – Refrain from lashing out in kneejerk fashion at nasty comments & provocation from those whom you have helped quite generously. While the familiarity borne of contempt afflicts all, Aphidas opposite Nessus declares that only the mentally & psychologically weak express it directly. One harsh comment is like a tennis serve begging a volley – but this sport yields no winners. Reserve your most acute comments to inspire the execution of accelerated skill, not to insult the harassed & overburdened who weakly succumb to bitterness.  

LIBRA – Both the scale & the type of criminal wrongdoing which you have recently discovered at your professional workplace insults you personally, your bosses professionally & your company as an institution. However, because the due process of law must take its course, Aphidas opposite Nessus advises you strongly to keep your emotions under wraps as guilty employees engage in piddling, mean-spirited celebration until that remote day where you, your bosses & your company get to indulge that last laugh.  

SCORPIO – New associates & allies who want to purge your company & workplace of the past run into head-on conflict with long-time employees who absolutely refuse to leave quietly under the current influence of Aphidas opposite Nessus. However, most likely, the longer you have employed certain people, the more likely you have codified & intractable contractual arrangements which you cannot sever. People who agree with each other can agree to disagree – but can people with differing financial interests who outright hate each other learn, for their mutual survival, to get along?  

SAGITTARIUS – Cruel bosses do not care about your private pain. Aphidas opposite Nessus states that bosses will insult you as they charge you with acutely difficult and strenuous tasks that they dare you to screw up because they seek to leverage your private pain for their professional advantage. Function as efficiently & as coldly as a robot as you finish all tasks before you in your search for a way to exit the labyrinth. If Daedalus can escape, so can you!  

CAPRICORN – Aphidas opposite Nessus denotes that the only reason to assert your legal advantage is when the incorrigible challenge it. Of course, the incorrigible will challenge it. Even so, allow the incorrigible to demonstrate very clearly how ugly they are & can be before you shut them down for good.

AQUARIUS – Reckless, egoistic drivers, who treat automobiles, motorcycles & bicycles as toys, and demons, who rely upon computer technology to steal identities, to hack personal accounts within large-scale businesses or to prey upon children, are not only criminals without souls who have no respect for the pain & suffering of the human animal, but also often egoists, who see themselves as glamorous outlaws, thumbing their noses at the law. To pique the outrage worthy of the most egregious & heinous of such miscreants, Aphidas opposite Nessus encourages you to reposit the dialogue from “rebellion against authority” to “preying upon the defenseless.” Redraw the portrait of the villain from intrepid rebel to cowardly ape or craven reptile.  

PISCES – A new partner or enemy will challenge you to your core – and, at some point, Aphidas opposite Nessus guarantees that you will not like it. Calm terrified innermost demons. Keep focused. Remind yourself, “What is the end goal? What is it that we are, and I am, trying to do?” Forge that plan. Come Hell & high water, stick to that plan.  

* Aphidas, a centaur planet which crosses between the orbits of Saturn & Neptune, was discovered in December 1999 and named in October 2017. The centaur Phorbas, disgusted because his fellow centaur had passed out, drunk, rather than fighting the Lapiths during the wedding feast of Pirithous, killed Aphidas with a javelin, with black blood pouring from Aphidas’s throat into his wine cup.  

! Nessus, named after the centaur whose bloodied & semen-stained shirt eventually killed Hercules, was discovered during the siege at Waco in April 1993 & named in 1997. Nessus bridges the gap in consciousness between Saturn & Pluto, forcing us to discard naivete about jealousy, anger, irrationality & evil in ourselves & in others so that we may cultivate the will & the stomach to evolve as a species.

1  An Opposition is a disharmonious 180 degree aspect between or amongst planets transiting signs of like modality (modalities being Cardinal – Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn; Fixed – Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius; & Mutable – Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces).

ARTICLE #12

Jupiter in Gemini trines1 Chariklo^ conjunct2 2003-CO1< conjunct2 2001-KF77> in Aquarius from November 6, 2024 to January 8, 2025. Whatever the agenda – political, scientific, astronomical, A.I., mathematical – good questions by a crack reporter yields brilliant copy that serves as jet fuel to the curiosity of the interminably bored now saddled with an exciting new obsession.  

ARIES – Whatever the ideas were, whether political, scientific, astronomical, A.I. or mathematical, they have always intrigued you, but you are only willing to investigate so far – partially because there was only so far to investigate. Jupiter, Chariklo, 2003-CO1 & 2001-KF77 state that that can now change. Dig deeper.  

TAURUS – Esoteric interests which you have pursued casually show up on your TV screen as “new ideas of the next generation.” Jupiter, Chariklo, 2003-CO1 & 2001-KF77 encourage you to view what TV has to present – or to misrepresent. Don’t bother trying to determine if the producers are dishonest or stupid. Recognize the pollution for what it has attempted to debase.

GEMINI – Unlike many other people intrigued by such ideas, you understand them, did not misinterpret them & studied them deeply. Jupiter, Chariklo, 2003-CO1 & 2001-KF77 denote that studying these subjects now can take you far intellectually. Follow naturally.  

CANCER – The new subjects of the age do not benefit you. Allow those geniuses more inclined to follow such pursuits. As for yourself, Jupiter, Chariklo, 2003-CO1 & 2001-KF77 advise you to disengage if it does not feel natural, walk down the other side of the street.  

LEO – Clients not only favor the ideas of tomorrow but into fact believe that they are now far behind in what they need to know. Jupiter, Chariklo, 2003-CO1 & 2001-KF77 denote that the next thing that such clients will tolerate is your intellectual indifference. Tell clients bluntly, “You are really too far ahead of yourselves.” Indulge in no arguments about the relative merits of future development beyond anybody’s control.  

VIRGO – Just like people in the workplace talked, talked, talked about the new tools at their disposal from 1993 to 1995, very few people actually built up the muscle memory to make something out of these tools. Jupiter, Chariklo, 2003-CO1 & 2001-KF77 denote that this exact same phase now recurs. You get an opportunity to cut your teeth upon the fundamental tools of the next millennium. Grab it!  

LIBRA – Litigators: Back from 1993 to 1995, you studied various commercial word processing software & spreadsheet packages, not to see who the best was, but who was stealing from whom. Jupiter, Chariklo, 2003-CO1 & 2001-KF77 note that you do the same now with a much more advanced level of electronic product. Keep your eye firmly upon each & every stray detail.  

SCORPIO – The city plans to implement generative A.I. widely despite your objections. Jupiter, Chariklo, 2003-CO1 & 2001-KF77 accordingly confirm that was you need is a staunch ally represent your interests amongst your adversaries so that nobody leaves you high & dry.  

SAGITTARIUS – Whether you are a journalist, a public relations specialist, a comedian or a screenwriter, you recently did some research on A.I. or technology to get more information than for which you could bargain. No matter – Jupiter, Chariklo, 2003-CO1 & 2001-KF77 declare that you had a goal in mind when you started. Return to the origin.  

CAPRICORN – Merchants: you are not interested in representing one A.I. product over another. Jupiter, Chariklo, 2003-CO1 & 2001-KF77 surmise that you seek to represent the entire market from the vantage of your expertise. Stick to this position. Don’t turn into a frontrunner.  

AQUARIUS – You’d prefer to what you know about generative A.I. to integrate it into the various companies amplifying your guitar so that you can become the 21st century’s Robert Fripp & Adrian Belew in one personage. Jupiter, Chariklo, 2003-CO1 & 2001-KF77 state that such a goal is antiquated, obsolete & vain. Use your knowledge of new technology to learn complex ideas that you will not immediately understand,  

PISCES – It is unlikely that, under the current influence of Jupiter, Chariklo, 2003-CO1 & 2001-KF77, you will be in control as an end user of generative A.I., but will be much more likely the generative A.I. will target you & your family for agendas of its own. Don’t be paranoid. Cooperate.  

^ Chariklo, named after the wife of the centaur Chiron who enjoyed a close friendship with Pallas Athena, was discovered in February 1997 & named in September 1999. Chariklo helps Chiron to bridge the gap in consciousness between Saturn & Uranus, reminding us that we have to employ vision, perception & imagination when we find no leeway & no loopholes in the entrenched status quo.   

< 2003-CO1 is an unnamed centaur planet discovered on February 1, 2003. The orbit of 2003-CO1 commences just beyond the orbit of Saturn as it crosses over the orbit of Uranus & Neptune.

ARTICLE #13

Neptune in Pisces squares* 1996-TL66! in Gemini from March 1, 2022 to March 20, 2024. That which happens everywhere, and therefore happens elsewhere, also happens here. But that which one can see & understand from a distance, one cannot see & understand directly in front of them. Why? Because one cannot feel the effects of what one sees happen over there because what happens over there does not involve one at all. Conversely, when something happens to one exactly where one stands, one has no time to analyze the situation – one must ascertain a convergence of divergent forces via one’s extremely brief, fleeting impression so as to take meaningful action to further one’s own self-interest immediately . . . and irrevocably. 

ARIES – Conversations & dialogues about politics & religion of the recent past during which you interface with only one person all of a sudden now mushroom into group discussions where individuals of undeclared loyalty steer conversations in directions where you do not wish to traverse. Neptune square 1996-TL66 will punish you until you learn how to pay more attention to those of undeclared loyalty lurking in your peripheral vision. Remember: The game you now play is not “tennis” but “dodgeball.” 

TAURUS – Listen respectfully to associates who discuss their religious, psychedelic or visionary experiences, whether historic, recent or, in extreme cases, current. Neptune square 1996-TL66 will at times challenge your natural propensity to live & to let live as you witness strangers’ accounts of their intellectual & sensory perceptions. Give everybody the benefit of the doubt – “Hell, why not?” – but think very long & very hard before choosing to invest money in every such thing that other people so casually recommend. 

GEMINI – Prepare for the inevitability that the professional chain of command which informs your decision-making & work priorities will break down under the current influence of Neptune square 1996-TL66 – most likely, exactly when a deluge of either stellar opportunities or laborious grunt work threatens to overwhelm you. Remember: At the moment when even the smallest details evade your personal control & when you realize that you cannot possibly execute that which you absolutely must complete on a very strict deadline . . . is the moment to smile placidly with a profound & anchored inner calm. (After all, just as Broncos offensive guard Keith Bishop said about the Cleveland Browns just before quarterback John Elway led a 98-yard drive at the end of regulation time in the 1987 AFC Championship Game in Cleveland, “We got ‘em right where we want ‘em!”) 

CANCER – You followed the path of your recently developed impetus to travel to pursue publication, spiritual growth & religious understanding. Profoundly, Neptune square 1996-TL66 notices that what you unwittingly discovered along the path of your many travels is that all the local neighborhoods which you first entered & which you then exited all harbor unique karmic issues of their own – karmic issues which both locals & frequent tourists habitually overlook. Why are you the only person who has identified many of these unique local karmic issues? Because, quite clearly, that is what attracted you to meander through that certain location in the first place. 

LEO – Fear of jellyfish stings! You already know how silently & amorphously certain sneaky, disloyal professional & political enemies surreptitiously conduct their subterfuge within various infrastructures – but Neptune square 1996-TL66 takes all of this to entirely new levels. Such sneaky, disloyal enemies respect no boundaries; therefore, you must explicitly clarify & distinguish what is yours amongst what is not yours or what is collective – and you must defend that which you claim. 

VIRGO – Partners, rivals & enemies will assert to bosses under the current influence of Neptune square 1996-TL66 that, for all your technical expertise & ability to analyze correctly, you miss the point. Do not make the mistake of reacting to, or discussing with, such bosses, the pleas of such partners, rivals & enemies. Certain bosses are allies; certain bosses are adversaries; others are independent. You already know this; therefore, don’t waste the time of anybody who does not welcome, and will not openly regard, your input & influence upon any issue which you choose to discuss. 

LIBRA – Your workload, the number of people who report to you directly, and the number of professionals with whom you have ongoing business, will increase steadily & consistently for many years to come. Neptune square 1996-TL66 therefore demands that you define, much more clearly & precisely for yourself, criteria you will use to decide who or what you will exclude from your business & life, and when. You & your time are valuable – protect them from that & those which will waste its latent & irreplaceable value. 

SCORPIO – Scorpio – especially the creative Scorpio – the ultimate skeptic of the Zodiac, is nevertheless a real sucker for romance. Therefore, simply to protect your heart (Yes, Scorpio, the rumors are false: You do have a heart!), Neptune square 1996-TL66 reminds you to remind yourself, each & every time that you think about giving your heart away to your spouse, to a new lover, to a child or to an artist or writer whom you admire absolutely infinitely, “Betrayal . . . as well as love . . . is eternal.” 

SAGITTARIUS – Recent doom-and-gloom obsessions about members of your family or the future of your city, state, province or country merely mirror your equally fantastic hopes. Neptune square 1996-TL66 therefore demands that you now grasp the steering wheel of your inner self to guide yourself & to influence everybody in your life away from the curse of an inevitable fate towards the unfolding of a magnificent destiny. 

CAPRICORN – Of course, certain employees now take, and will always take, unfair advantage of your generosity & good will. Disappointingly, other such individuals with whom you felt comfortable enough to socialize & to engage in frank if philosophical discussion now attempt to usurp total control of such previously casual dialogues any time that you refrain from using iron-clad declaratory sentences to entertain, via complex & incomplete phrases & sentences hinging upon the subjunctive mood, doubts. Your mission under the current influence of Neptune square 1996-TL66: Teach these smug & disrespectful individuals the inherent danger of taking such arrogant liberties.

AQUARIUS – While some people immerse themselves in a crowd in order to hide their individual personage, other people immerse themselves so as to drive that crowd forward in a direction of their own individual choosing. Whether you do the former or the latter, within that crowd you will meet both types of people. Also within that crowd, Neptune square 1996-TL66 declares that you will meet another individual with whom you will see eye-to-eye about what it is you & that crowd should be doing – as well as yet another individual who disagrees with you about everything. Once you know who is who & what is what, then make your moves in coordination with your partner as you keep abreast of your actions of your rival. 

PISCES – Review novels such as Robert Penn Warren’s All the King’s Men or Ken Kesey’s Sometimes a Great Notion in which the ostensibly omnipotent protagonist – in these instances, Willie Stark & Hank Stamper, respectively – loses a very close family member as a result of their own obstinately blind pursuit of their megalomaniacal ambition. Neptune square 1996-TL66 makes you a ripe & ready potential victim of classic Greek tragedy. What can you do to forestall such a gloomy & sorrowful fate? Easy: Do not succumb to that overweening pride which the ancient Greeks labeled hubris.

! 1996-TL66 is an unnamed scattered-disk object (SDO) transneptunian object (TNO) discovered on October 9, 1996. SDOs are far more remote in space than even Varuna or Pluto, the outermost planets in our current solar system; 1996-TL66, an SDO, is also a TNO because, at perihelion, it hovers around the orbits of Neptune. For information on how to interpret 1996-TL66, note reference to Jonathan Dunn below. 

Jonathan Dunn

postulates that 1996-TL66 should be named Nero, after the emperor who presided over the fall of Rome.  .

* A Square is a disharmonious 90-degree aspect between or amongst planets transiting signs of like modality (modalities being Cardinal – Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn; Fixed – Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius; & Mutable – Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces).

ARTICLE #14

Jupiter in Gemini squares1 Aphidas@ in Virgo from July 18 to September 9, 2024. Whatever the nature of upcoming conversations & transactions, 90% will be exactly the same, 9% will be somewhat irregular, and 1% will be a labyrinth collapsing into itself. Organize what you process so that you can handle the bulk of the work robotically – perhaps with Microsoft macros, but not with A.I. One irregular conversation & transaction will take as much time as 100 normal ones. Labyrinthine conundrums will take two people at least one whole day.  

ARIES – When deploying cops, ushers, clerks or representatives to answer the questions of the public, assign two to each one spot. Why? Because, while 90% of those requests will be identically the same, Jupiter, Aphidas, Saturn & Nessus denote that the irregular request will be so complex & convoluted, it will gum up the process. Keep the flow flowing even if one individual’s confusion continues to compound.  

TAURUS – Jersey Mike loses a lot of production line efficiency by its commitment to slicing the meat of every sandwich individually in order to make the sandwich fresh – but Jersey Mikes does not dispense with prepping its food altogether. Indeed, unless their other mass food operations operate at constant outperform capacity, Jupiter, Aphidas, Saturn & Nessus denote that Jersey Mikes would not be able to operate a fast-food operation at all.  

GEMINI – Learning how to organize before you execute what you organize saved & exalted you at your job. Jupiter, Aphidas, Saturn & Nessus declare that applying the same skills at home will allow you to have life outside of both the office & your domicile. Prepare lunch for the week on Sunday. Use your dishwasher.  

CANCER – Operations supervisors, mailroom operators: After you determine who gets what mail, organize each individual’s mail. How? Jupiter, Aphidas, Saturn & Nessus present different options – envelope size, personal vs. promotional, segregating checks & invoices from everything else. Bottom line: Mail is now a time drain. Eliminate it.  

LEO – Most client representatives do not know how to handle the new members of your firm committed to tracking working progress. That’s okay – Jupiter, Aphidas, Saturn & Nessus encourage you to deploy a spy amongst all the saboteurs within the client representative who knows what is going on. That spy will be in a position to transfer that client representative to your most skilled professional technicians & diplomat.  

VIRGO – Bosses intend to organize the flow of work against your skill set so as to allow their corrupt cronies to coast & to assign blame even though it undermines your overall firm. Even so, Jupiter, Aphidas, Saturn & Nessus advise you to do nothing different. If you handle the types of transactions you can handle, then what is left over is the natural workload of your colleagues. If bosses intend to threaten you, force them to make good on their threats.  

LIBRA – Most likely, you are organizing the work goal for your firm. For those who need busy work, give them all the easy types. As for those curveballs intended to confuse, if you can manage it, Jupiter, Aphidas, Saturn & Nessus advise you to give assignments to your experts one case at a time. Review what happened with each before moving onto the next one.  

SCORPIO – Make sure the individual directing the work flow is not trying to sabotage your operations. The rest of your team knows exactly what to do – they are the envy of your industry sector! Which, as Jupiter, Aphidas, Saturn & Nessus state, all points to the individual communicating with everybody. (And what does Denver Bronco Head Coach Sean Payton have against Quarterback Russell Wilson?)  

SAGITTARIUS – Your spouse knows best how to communicate with medical insurers & healthcare agencies in behalf of elderly relatives. Jupiter, Aphidas, Saturn & Nessus advise, “Let them.”  

CAPRICORN – Merchants: If cops really do plan on cracking down on shoplifting offenses, then Jupiter, Aphidas, Saturn & Nessus state that you must learn to expedite police reports for real-time criminals you want to send to jail.  

AQUARIUS – Musicians, athletes, performing or competing locally: Peers from other localities like to feign rivalries as an excuse to start trouble in some other communities’ backyards. Jupiter, Aphidas, Saturn & Nessus warn that to engage in such mischief could leave you & your associates with a bad reputation which, over time, may prove hard to shake. Stick to the straight & narrow. Keep your nose clean.  

PISCES – Read Aquarius. You & your teammates may not have a lot of self-esteem, but you take yourself & life seriously. Some of your competitors do not, and will seek to cause all sorts of mischief in order to entertain themselves. Jupiter, Aphidas, Saturn & Nessus warn that if you get into altercations with such phony troublemakers, you may get into more trouble than it is worth – because you will mess such fools up far worse than you expected. Really, why risk your reputation by engaging such second-rate minor leaguers?  

@ Aphidas, a centaur planet which crosses between the orbits of Saturn & Neptune, was discovered in December 1999 and named in October 2017. The centaur Phorbas, disgusted because his fellow centaur had passed out, drunk, rather than fighting the Lapiths during the wedding feast of Pirithous, killed Aphidas with a javelin, with black blood pouring from Aphidas’s throat into his wine cup.

ARTICLE #15

2002-CR46$ in Scorpio trines*
Neptune in Pisces
from October 19, 2024 to March 30, 2025.

He opened up the Indeed email. He first read the name of the sender, and then read the job offer: Paralegal, paying $60K to $70K. “Well, look at that,” he said.

He autodialed the cell phone of his long-time friend whom he had known for thirty years & with whom he spoke every morning most of his life. Her cell phone segued directly to voice mail. He called a second time; her cell phone segued directly to voice mail.

He googled the name of her employer. He identified the switchboard number. He called it.

The receptionist answered, “Law firm.”

He requested, “Controller’s office, please.”

The receptionist paused, confused, “Can I ask the reason for the call?”

He replied, “I’m answering a Help Wanted ad.”

The receptionist replied, “Please hold while I transfer you.”

His friend answered her office phone, “Controller.”

“Hey,” he greeted her.

The controller paused, confused, “You called the office phone.”

He replied, “I’m calling about office business.”

The controller paused, even more confused. “Call my cell.”

The controller hung up. He hung up.

He called her cell. She answered. “Hey,” he repeated.

The controller replied, “What’s going on?”

He replied, “Your boss emailed me with a job offer as a paralegal.”

The controller paused. “My boss doesn’t know you.”

He replied, “Of course not.”

The controller asked, “From where did my boss get your name?”

He replied, “Indeed.”

The controller asked, “My boss sent you one of those listings emails with ten or twelve or eighteen jobs?”

“No,” he replied. “Apparently, he clicked on some button where my resume is listed on Indeed and sent me an email directly from him to an email address which Indeed assigned him.”

“Okay,” the controller replied. “Do you want the job?”

“No,” he replied.

“So why are you calling me?” the controller asked.

“First, to tell you the scenario,” he said, “then to ask you if you thought it was a good idea to talk to him to see if he needs anybody temporarily to fill in before he hires somebody permanent.”

The controller paused, confused. The controller asked, “What would you tell him?”

“If you thought it was a good idea,” he told his friend the controller, “I would tell him that he got in touch with me by a direct email in Indeed, that I’m not interested in the job permanently, but I’m friends with your controller, and figured I would ask if you needed somebody part time in the interim.”

The controller asked, “What makes you think that I would want to work in the same workplace as you?”

He replied, “I didn’t think that.”

The controller asked, “What makes you think that I want you telling him that you know me as you ask him about part-time work?”

He replied, “I didn’t think that.”

The controller paused. The controller asked, “What did you think?”

“I already told you what I thought,” he told his friend the controller. “If you thought it was a good idea, I would tell him that he got in touch with me by a direct email in Indeed, that I’m not interested in the job permanently, but I’m friends with your controller, and figured I would ask if you needed somebody part time in the interim.”

The controller paused. The controller thought. The controller said, “Oh.”

He asked the controller, “So what do you think?”

The controller paused. The controller thought. The controller replied, “I think that anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.”

He replied, “I agree with that.”

The controller got angry, “So then why did you call me?”

“Don’t get mad,” he said.

“I called to see if you thought it was a good idea,” he explained. “I didn’t know what you thought.”

The controller paused. The controller thought. The controller asked, “Do you need this job?”

He replied, “No.”

The controller asked, “Do you want this job?”

“I don’t want this permanent job,” he said, “but if it was possible to work a couple of days a week as he keeps looking & I keep looking, I figured it might work.

“That’s why I called you,” he continued, “to see if you thought if it was a good idea.”

“I see,” the controller saw.

He paused. The controller paused. He sought final clarification, “So you don’t think it is a good idea?”

The controller asked, “Have you said that you are interested in the job?”

He replied, “No.”

The controller asked, “Have you said that you are not interested in the job?”

He replied, “No.”

The controller asked, “And you are not interested in the job permanently?”

He replied, “No.”

The controller asked, “And you have had zero dialogue, in conversation or online or on the telephone, with my boss?”

He replied, “Your boss doesn’t know me from Adam.”

The controller paused. The controller thought. “Whether it is or it isn’t a good idea,” the controller repeated, “I think that anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.”

“So, you want me to decline?” he asked.

“If you would,” the controller replied.

There was a pause on the line. After about thirty seconds, he told the controller, “I’ve declined the offer.

“Thanks,” he thanked the controller.

“Thanks for calling,” the controller replied. The controller hung up. 

ARIES – Law enforcement may refer to “inside jobs” or “inside help,” but such a circumstance is in no way ideal to the strategic criminal mind – in the first, one waits at work to get caught by police; in the second, one waits for an employee to rat one out. Therefore, 2002-CR46 & Neptune predict that criminals looking to do crimes on location will only try to fool naïve employees to give criminals what they need. After all, naïve employees almost always believe, “It can’t happen here.” 

asked– The fact that you look down on certain local working class or outright vulgar types denotes that you take them for granted. Not that they have prestige – more likely, 2002-CR46 & Neptune suggest, “They have a long & violent criminal record.” Most likely, you live in a class-conscious bubble. Make inquiries with a friend who knows the other side of the tracks. 

GEMINI – As you look for a job or a better job, you ask a friend who works at your chosen employer to recommend you to their boss. 2002-CR46 & Neptune confirm that this strategy will work well – as long as your friend is in good standing with that employer & that boss. 

CANCER – An intense new romance where you accelerate from kissy-face to hardcore sex will, as a side effect, introduce you to your new lover’s friends. 2002-CR46 & Neptune smirk as they ask, “Are this individual’s ‘friends’ devout members of a church (Not the Church of Scientology) or on trial altogether for criminal conspiracy?” Not a joke! 

LEO – Parents: 2002-CR46 & Neptune declare that if you don’t trust the friends & associates of your teenage son or daughter, spell it out for them in black & white, “I can’t follow you around seven days a week twenty-four hours a day, but, listen closely, none of the people with whom you associate are allowed in this house for any reason!” 

VIRGO – Single men & women: Why are you suspicious of a casual friend or acquaintance who invites you to a party? 2002-CR46 & Neptune ask you, “Can’t you see what this host or hostess is trying to do? You are going to meet a lot of single men & women – if you are smart enough to say, ‘Thank you very much, of course, should I bring something with me?’” 

LIBRA – Your employer may be spending an unusual amount of cash on contract employees. 2002-CR46 & Neptune indicate that certain agents & agencies now make hefty commissions per head. Find out who these agents & agencies are. Find out the accurate numbers. 

SCORPIO – Some brilliant, accomplished men married Marilyn Monroe. Two beautiful women married Brad Pitt. 2002-CR46 & Neptune state that every relationship brings with it its own story. What story do these relationships tell that can help or inform you? 

SAGITTARIUS – Parents, spouses: You crave to learn where your children or spouse is getting their hardcore illegal drugs – and you need to know as soon as possible. Should you physically thrash or verbally berate it out of them? Of course not! The mere suggestion of it disgusts 2002-CR46 & Neptune. Even so, such ugly consequences demand desperate measures. Protect your relationship as you hire private detectives – or as you ask a favor of a cop friend – willing to go down, grime & grit dirty. 

CAPRICORN – At the bar, you tell some slick snake God’s honest truth, “Listen, buddy: I’ve got to tell my thirteen-year-old daughter about illegal, hard drugs.” As you conclude, 2002-CR46 & Neptune urge you to emphasize the fire & ice truth you must impart, “And, truth be told, the drug dealer who sells the lethal dose to the now forever dead celebrity may warrant mention in a journalist’s account of the crime, but they are never, ever, a story in & of themselves.” 

AQUARIUS – Whoever it is & however they get their power – the corrupt totalitarian real estate investor, the murderous international illegal drug trafficker, the pimp who rotates fresh sex slaves to & from their area in their human trafficking network – 2002-CR46 & Neptune state that the next to last thing you want to do is to catalogue their most immediate coterie & their relationship to each & every one of them. The absolute last thing you want: That gangster to look directly at you. 

PISCES – Evil people do not scare you. 2002-CR46 & Neptune confirm that evil people only bring out the nobility of Pisces’ profound core strength. What scares you are weak people who sit on the fence. What scares you is moral relativism. What scares you are people who refuse to learn, to know & to proclaim who they are & what they believe – and why.

$ 2002-CR46, officially named “Typhon”, is an unnamed transneptunian object (TNO) discovered on February 2, 2002. The orbit of 2002-CR46 traverses between the orbit of Uranus out past the orbit of Pluto.

* A Trine is a harmonious aspect between or amongst planets transiting signs of like element (elements being Fire, Earth, Air & Water). 

ARTICLE #16

Bienor< in Cancer opposes1 2002-GZ32> in Capricorn from November 20, 2024 to January 13, 2025. The detour local pedestrians encounter has not diminished (on their way to the local train & bus station during their local commute) since real estate contractors installed it at the end of the winter, but has actually expanded, impeded even more people & augmented the total time & cost of delay. Even so, nobody, as a rule, complains – an outside event has yet to trigger a protracted hostile response.  

ARIES – Forget your most recent arguments with your mother. Bienor & 2002-GZ32 denote that you must concentrate all your attention & energy on overcoming overwhelming logistic obstacles. Consider your emotions only after you have conquered untoward yet costly impediments.  

TAURUS – Alcohol & driving do not mix. Further, Bienor & 2002-GZ32 confirm that this fact is not the cop’s fault. Don’t create obstacles that did not already exist.  

GEMINI – Whatever assets you have are diminished if you don’t pay your debt. Of course, you can use your assets as a secured loan to pay your debt, but all that continues to be a function of your debt, not assets. In any event, Bienor & 2002-GZ32 declare that there is no reason to worry about it. Get a plan. Amortize. Pay it down.  

CANCER – Spouses: If your husband or wife is remote from you physically or psychologically, you cannot get into a meaningful argument with them because they will look at you as if you are from outer space. Bienor & 2002-GZ32 denote that what you really bemoan is your lack of control over your spouse. Accept what is.  

LEO – Lately, the work in your professional workplace has been physically arduous, intellectually complicated & dirty. When employees complain, Bienor & 2002-GZ32 state that it only makes the job worse. Look them straight in the eye & explain, “We all still have to do this ugly job.”  

VIRGO – Young male student athletes: If you do not make an effort to court the favor of the institution’s mothers at the beginning, then Bienor & 2002-GZ32 warn that you will suffer irrevocable downfall when you go too far personally & professionally at the very end.  

LIBRA – While it deeply aggravates you how professionally irresponsible the employees under your control really are, Bienor & 2002-GZ32 confirm that to complain is counterproductive. You need the money – and you need to address the extremely labyrinthine complexities which now overwhelm your family.  

SCORPIO – Give instructions piecemeal, tersely, in writing. When the task is done, give no more instructions, but give employees a break until you decide to start the next task. Bienor & 2002-GZ32 proclaim that the entire exercise is exhausting. Do as little as necessary.  

SAGITTARIUS – Professional NBA players hire multiple bodyguards to prevent gamblers & whores from encroaching upon them in public. Bienor & 2002-GZ32 emphasize the ugly truth that some people have more to lose than you will ever have. Don’t take your own safety & security for granted.  

CAPRICORN – Sure, you can tune out the complaints & pain of your spouse by remaining profoundly unavailable – but Bienor & 2002-GZ32 feel that it is their duty to ask, “Do you value your relationship?”  

AQUARIUS – If the seafood in the restaurant does not seem sufficiently fresh, do not eat it! Bienor & 2002-GZ32 state, “Better to seat some place less special than pay very good money for a hospital bed.”  

PISCES – If you are serious about disrupting a hyperemotional & extremely wayward child, then Bienor & 2002-GZ32 advise you to get yourself lost in a group of powerful adults. Emphasize that your time is worth money.  

< Bienor, a centaur planet that traverses from just outside the orbit of Saturn just across the orbit of Uranus, was discovered in August 2000 & named in January 2004. Theseus, fighting for the Lapiths against the Centaurs to avenge the honor of Pirithous's bride Hippodamia, killed Bienor by jumping on his back, pulling his hair, and smashing his mouth while it spouted violent threats. For information on how to interpret Bienor, formerly 2000-QC243, note reference to Philip Sedgwick below.

1  An Opposition is a disharmonious 180 degree aspect between or amongst planets transiting signs of like modality (modalities being Cardinal – Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn; Fixed – Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius; & Mutable – Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces).  

ARTICLE #17

2002-PN34@ in Taurus trines# Hylonome! in Capricorn from June 4, 2024 to January 13, 2025. Many on both sides of the issue of whether or not to return to the office are more than willing to believe that “San Francisco Is A Mess, And The Owner Of The City’s Largest Hotel Is Just Walking Away” by viewfromthewing.com’s Gary Leff represents rhetoric for the “return to the office” contingent. After all, viewfromthewing.com’s Leff says in the penultimate paragraph of his article, “People left (whether for LA or other states), and the reason to stay in San Francisco was because of the other people who were there. Work from home and work from anywhere increasingly meant being in San Francisco was no longer the exclusive path to success in tech and adjacent industries. Park Hotels had made a big bet on the city, and now they’re walking away too.” But that is misreading what is on the surface. The truth is that the owner of the properties in question, the Hilton San Francisco Union Square and Parc 55 hotels, could not afford to maintain them as they waited for business to return to the city – after the employees who generate the business for the city return to the city. The owner of the hotel chain in question is losing big money now. End of story. 

ARIES – Just because employees who work remotely refuse to yield in their demands does not mean that your & your company’s large-scale business concerns should yield to them. 2002-PN34 & Hylonome therefore recommend a mandatory public forum in public for all employees where both sides negotiate until everybody has formed a mandate to come to the workplace on a very routine basis more often than not. 

TAURUS – 2002-PN34 & Hylonome signifies a cogent codification of political ideologues about the scale of the role of municipal policing in your city. Pay close attention, and participate – this ongoing debate presages genuine negotiations. 

GEMINI – “Mexico's 'Super Peso' Keeps Gaining, But Exports Will Likely Suffer” by reuters.com’s Noe Torres does not exactly tell Americans and Canadians the truth they don’t want to hear when it says, “But the Mexican currency's recent strengthening to about 17 pesos per U.S. dollar, from 19.50 pesos per greenback last December, makes Mexican exports more expensive,” because the Mexican Peso was close to 21 per dollar at the beginning of COVID. But 2002-PN34 & Hylonome ask, “Who cares who wants to hear it? Wait up & smell the dark roast coffee?” 

CANCER – Professional allies who have recently quantified, qualified & judged the merits of your current business partner’s vulnerabilities now speak in rhetorical terms to your business partner to communicate without getting personal. 2002-PN34 & Hylonome denote that these do not constitute sarcastic whispered asides: This is a status report. Instructions to follow. 

LEO – You tell your bosses that you lack the employees to complete ongoing business – but they know that. Bosses reply under the current influence of 2002-PN34 & Hylonome, “We don’t just need somebody now. We need somebody good.” 

VIRGO – Parents of adolescent males, men: Whichever man or boy is the hero, victim or the perpetrator, 2002-PN34 & Hylonome announce that authority figures, whether in the school or amongst law enforcement, no longer regard such individuals as sociological type, “Each & every individual, whether they like it or not, is a role model.” 

LIBRA – Read Virgo. You analyze whether certain police officers & politicians are vulnerable to or likely to commit crimes. However, as they now identify & catch somebody in the act of committing such crimes, 2002-PN34 & Hylonome declare that this is not amongst editors’ or bosses’ current priorities, “The perp walk makes a role model of one who did something he or she shouldn’t do for unethical & immoral reasons.” 

SCORPIO – Merchants: Being a debtor makes you uncomfortable, but you didn’t plan it, and your actions as a business entity don’t warrant it. Therefore, when you talk with people in power who can help you, 2002-PN34 & Hylonome advise, “Don’t demand – but don’t ask, either.” Power brokers really want to know, for reasons that include yet transcend you, “What’s the whole story?” Discuss candidly & dispassionately with like minds. 

SAGITTARIUS – Read Virgo. You make more money than most people – but your colleagues are quick to note that your lifestyle & expenses are unusually high. 2002-PN34 & Hylonome warn that, over time, you will not get the work you need if you live beyond your means. Put bluntly, other people want that money – and they live within their budget. Remember that you & everybody else serves as some sort of role model. Recalibrate. 

CAPRICORN – Actors, novelists, musicians, artists: The starving artist is a myth – but many artistic types psychologically invest into that mythology. Economically, 2002-PN34 & Hylonome remind you that poverty happens when you spend more than you have. That is all what a “starving artist” represents: An artist who spent money that that artist did not have – even though, most of the time, the artist spent that money on their art. Prioritize having enough money to pay for what you do. 

AQUARIUS – Is the company which employs you, which is currently having severe financial problems, “too big to fail?” 2002-PN34 & Hylonome demand that you reconsider your nomenclature. No business is “too big to fail.” Many businesses, which are big & which are in the process of failing, are “not yet obsolete.” Consider the difference – and the significance of that difference. 

PISCES – Professional allies currently on the outs need you to speak in their behalf – but 2002-PN34 & Hylonome now wonder if you can truthfully do so. After all, it doesn’t look good if the character witness actually saw what happened & proclaims one guilty. How clearly do these professional allies mirror any of the ideals which you officially espouse? Entangle yourself in no complications. 

@ 2002-PN34 is an unnamed transneptunian object (TNO) discovered on August 6, 2002. The orbit of 2002-PN34 traverses from within the orbit of Uranus out past the orbit of Pluto. For information on how to interpret 2002-PN34, note reference to Philip Sedgwick below. 

! Hylonome, named after the wife of centaur Cyllarus, with whom she died during the Centaurs' battle with the Lapiths, was discovered in February 1995 & named during the year 2000. Hylonome bridges the gap in consciousness between Uranus & Neptune, forcing us to draw unexpected links between "accident" & "devotion" much more rapidly than is either wise or comfortable.

# A Trine is a harmonious aspect between or amongst planets transiting signs of like element (elements being Fire, Earth, Air & Water). 

ARTICLE #18

1996-TL66! in Gemini squares1 Thereus$ in Virgo opposite2 Neptune in Pisces from September 4 to October 12, 2024. There is the certain type of investor who patronizes & studies those businesses on the brink, who drive through borderline neighborhoods, on the way up & one the way down, studying the quality of the houses, who read the municipal tax rolls to see which property owners aren’t paying their property taxes. They study long & hard, do nothing for a long time. Then, when they like what they see, they pounce. (I Ching hexagram #16, Yü (Enthusiasm), Line 2: “Firm as a rock, what need of a whole day? The judgment can be known.”) 

ARIES – You are not looking to buy in the new up-and-coming neighborhood, “Really, the time has passed.” On the other hand, you are not particularly interested in moving to Michigan Avenue in Detroit to plant your stake in seventy consecutive blocks of urban blight, either. What is one to do? 1996-TL66, Thereus & Neptune reply, “Do your ongoing research for when you have enough money – then prepare to strike when the iron is hot. 

TAURUS – A new local business catches fire or it doesn’t. Sometimes, the hot new local business flares out, flames to ashes. Realizing this, 1996-TL66, Thereus & Neptune observe, “Nobody wants to hit rock bottom.” If you a local businessman seems jittery & you have a plan, make an offer. 

GEMINI – Parents with kids & a lucrative job: At a certain point, if you burn the candle at both ends for too long, 1996-TL66, Thereus & Neptune warn, “There will be no more candle.” Furthermore, you think you have half a tank of gas left five minutes before you collapse on the floor. Get a better plan than, “Just adrenaline.” 

CANCER – Somebody else with news about a local foreclosing or bankruptcy tries to persuade you that your big real estate or business opportunity has arrived. 1996-TL66, Thereus & Neptune comment that you do have reason to be skeptical. Investigate firsthand yourself. 

LEO – You hear rumors about how your company’s biggest client is about to bail & to leave a hole in your company’s budget. Of course, you don’t want to change jobs just because of a rumor about a shift in the wind – but 1996-TL66, Thereus & Neptune recommend that you take look at what is available now, just in case. 

VIRGO – You are not popular at work because you are a stickler for the rules. Now, however, as bosses get punished, fired or arrested, 1996-TL66, Thereus & Neptune note how big bosses turn their eye in your direction. Now your unpopularity can help you move up the company’s org chart. 

LIBRA – A couple of employees & former employees now want to put your company out of business as a result of lawsuits. 1996-TL66, Thereus & Neptune wonder if the attorney defending your bosses & your company wish to talk to you about whether or not you believe this legal action to be justified. 

SCORPIO – Disloyal false friends & employees will betray you again & there is nothing you can do about it. However, 1996-TL66, Thereus & Neptune denote that a long-time professional associate loyal to you may not let that happen. It is their word against the betrayer – and the betrayer’s credibility is, at best, specious. 

SAGITTARIUS – Unexpectedly, and quite surprisingly, 1996-TL66, Thereus & Neptune announce that your biggest ally in your power struggles with a business partner, spouse or local politician is your boss, who never speaks to you unless they are criticizing you & giving you a hard time, “You are a total pain in the ass, but, unlike them, you are never full of crap.” 

CAPRICORN – Whether plaintiff or defendant, 1996-TL66, Thereus & Neptune assert, “In a court of law, your popular opponents have rumor, hearsay, gossip & resentment, and you have the facts.” The smart money is on you! 

AQUARIUS – Musicians: 1996-TL66, Thereus & Neptune advise you neither to drive home from the bar by yourself nor to drive home with friends. Somebody does not like you. Cab, Uber or Lyft. 

PISCES – For better or for worse, 1996-TL66, Thereus & Neptune signify that, regarding the deep problems afflicting your family or your city, your spouse or your partners, respectively, are correct. Help execute their agenda to the letter. 

! 1996-TL66 is an unnamed scattered-disk object (SDO) transneptunian object (TNO) discovered on October 9, 1996. SDOs are far more remote in space than even Varuna or Pluto, the outermost planets in our current solar system; 1996-TL66, an SDO, is also a TNO because, at perihelion, it hovers around the orbit of Neptune. For information on how to interpret 1996-TL66, note reference to Jonathan Dunn below. 

Jonathan Dunn
(http://ephemeral.info)
postulates that 1996-TL66 should be named Nero, after the emperor who presided over the fall of Rome. 

$ Thereus, a centaur planet that traverses the orbit of Saturn, was discovered in August 2001 & named in June 2003. Thereus was a centaur who hunted bears which, upon capture, he carried home alive. For information on how to interpret Thereus, formerly 2001-PT13, note reference to Philip Sedgwick below.

ARTICLE #19

1999-OX3* in Taurus trines1 2002-GZ32! in Capricorn from October 15 to December 26, 2024. Whether the obstacles are logistic in time & space or regulatory in law & politics, certain power brokers express hostile & impatient fury because they receive zero (or less than they need) cooperation in galvanizing the execution of enormously unwieldy, obtuse & complex projects. Is such intractable stubbornness wise. As wise as Napolean attacking Russia as part of a trade war with England. If one strives to overachieve incessantly, one must always & forever outperform – which is impossible. Channel limited resources towards well-defined goals. 

ARIES – When Michael Bloomberg first ran for Mayor of New York City in 2001, he accepted no political contributions but instead spent $73 million of his own money on expenses & advertising his successful campaign for mayor. Jupiter, 1999-OX3 & 2002-GZ32 put Aries the Ram in a similar position. You say you want it – you will have to put your money up, upfront, in order to conquer & to seize it. 

TAURUS – Canvasing for money for more police in the days of Black Lives Matter puts one head-to-head with an intractable political adversary. Jupiter, 1999-OX3 & 2002-GZ32 state that, while money may be necessary to achieve your objective, the truth is, the money only induces your adversary to oppose you directly. Adversaries will not acquiesce to the power of your purse. Prepare for negotiation – or for ruthless Machiavellianism. 

GEMINI – The Small Business Reorganization Act (SBRA), or Subchapter V of Chapter 11 U.S. Bankruptcy Code, same into being in the summer of 2019 in order to serve smaller business owners who could not avail themselves of the advantages of Chapter 11. After COVID-19, however, Subchapter V existed to expedite the interminable as well as to service small businesses. Jupiter, 1999-OX3 & 2002-GZ32 bring up the SBRA because a lot of people – creditors, debtors, lawyers, investors of distressed assets – now stand in a circle in a furiously massive hurry. You cannot stop a stampede. Lead, follow or get out of the way. 

CANCER – Your spouse maintains massive & daunting responsibilities. Your spouse needs support & practical help. You may not know what help your spouse needs, but Jupiter, 1999-OX3 & 2002-GZ32 qualify that you can tell an ally from an enemy, “You can tell a fish by looking at it.” Filter & segregate your observations from your emotions. 

LEO – Bosses & power brokers have the money & the political will to hire you, your employees & colleagues to execute impossible tasks on tight deadlines. Jupiter, 1999-OX3 & 2002-GZ32 therefore proclaim this as, “The failure is not an option counterpart.” Very well. This is your mission because others, not you, chose you & yours to accept it. Fork over money for the T-shirt. The Kool-Aid is free. Onward & upward. 

VIRGO – Print publishing, whether newspapers or books, in the early 21st century high-technology era is a mad dream – but Jupiter, 1999-OX3 & 2002-GZ32 agree, “You have drunk the Kool-Aid!” Well, we are all entitled to think & to “drink” what we like. But why do we think & “drink” this? What is the purpose behind your nascent plan? 

LIBRA – Elected political representatives: There is a lot – A LOT – of money being poured into local urban design. Jupiter, 1999-OX3 & 2002-GZ32 warn you harshly not to touch any of it. Hands off! 

SCORPIO – You are not issuing instructions to underlings – Jupiter, 1999-OX3 & 2002-GZ32 remind you that you are explaining status reports & next steps to the plutocrats funding your project. They have all the time in the world for meetings if you explain what & all they need to know – and to consider.

SAGITTARIUS – Contractors, freelancers, attorneys: A lot of work involving sprawling projects under the current influence of Jupiter, 1999-OX3 & 2002-GZ32 will force you to submit invoices to various entities in order to receive payment. Some will have taxes taken out; others will not. The pay will be lucrative but scattered amongst different vendors & timelines, some of whom only pay when you show up at their offices. Is all of this worth it? Oh, yes – yes, it is.

CAPRICORN – Just as Tony Bennett supported a creative sideline as a painter, the actor Paul Sorvino, known for his role as an Italian gangster in Goodfellas, not only played former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger in Nixon and Italian-American communist Louis C. Fraina in Reds, but also had achieved prominence sculpting in bronze, and, like fellow actor Paul Newman, making his own brand of spaghetti sauce. While all of these ventures brought in money, Jupiter, 1999-OX3 & 2002-GZ32 all highlight a quote by Sorvino, “"Most people think I'm either a gangster or a cop or something, but the reality is I'm a sculptor, a painter, a best-selling author, many, many things—a poet, an opera singer, but none of them is gangster, but, you know, obviously I sort of have a knack for playing these things. It would be nice to have my legacy more than that of just tough guy." Don’t take other peoples’ lack of imagination personally. Create heartbreaking works of staggering genius.

AQUARIUS – You cannot stop contractors for the city from doing work on your block – too many properties & entities are involved, making too many lawyers involved. As best, Jupiter, 1999-OX3 & 2002-GZ32 advise you to try to stop contractors for the city from doing work on or near your property. Scale down the battlefield.

PISCES – Associates seek your financial investment in their venture. While you have significant resources personally, Jupiter, 1999-OX3 & 2002-GZ32 note that you can invest all your money, and ten to twenty times it – for what return, exactly? You didn’t get all that money by gambling. Consider such investments carefully – and conservatively.

^ 1999-OX3 is an unnamed transneptunian object (TNO) discovered on July 21, 1999. The orbit of 1999-OX3 traverses between the orbits of Uranus & Pluto. For information on how to interpret 1999-OX3, note reference to Philip Sedgwick below.

ARTICLE #20

Uranus conjunct
2002-PN34^ in Taurus trines*
Thereus< in Virgo trines*
Hylonome> in Capricorn
from July 26 to September 22, 2024.

“I’m going to be blunt,” the power broker told the highly-paid consultant. “Because of the work that you did earlier in the year for it, we must either pay you & lay off a number of long-standing employees. Can we pay you in installments?”

The highly-paid consultant appreciated that the power broker did not appeal to the highly-paid consultant’s emotions. “I don’t know,” the highly-paid consultant replied. “Send me a proposed amortization so we can discuss it.” 

ARIES – A boss will either sell you down the river or sweat blood to make sure that you & all of your people get paid. To that end, Uranus, 2002-PN34, Thereus & Hylonome state that there will be no surprises. You know the people with whom you are dealing. 

TAURUS – Protesting against those who protest against cops can get you hurt or killed – especially, as Uranus, 2002-PN34, Thereus & Hylonome suggest, when some of those protestors, who do not appear do vocal or assertive, all of a sudden demonstrate that they themselves do not care whether they live or die, “When you have no reason to live, death can be a relief.” 

GEMINI – Investors: What you are worth on paper, according to your stock portfolio, IRAs & 401K, means little if you do not need to cash in your money right now. Uranus, 2002-PN34, Thereus & Hylonome therefore instruct you to negotiate against & according to the cash savings you hold in reserve. 

CANCER – You need enough cash for immediate transactions. Whether you refinance property or use your financial savings to take out a secured loan, Uranus, 2002-PN34, Thereus & Hylonome demand that you empower a currently subservient or weak position in financial negotiations by procuring cash on which to draw immediately. 

LEO – If you have enough money saved, then Uranus, 2002-PN34, Thereus & Hylonome encourage you to look for a more lucrative, better-paying job. That being said, unless bosses do something to assuage not only your workload but also the workload of all your firm’s overworked employees, bosses will not be working with your firm much longer themselves. 

VIRGO – Whether you are a plaintiff, defendant or a witness in a court of law, Uranus, 2002-PN34, Thereus & Hylonome declare that you have the capacity to change the direction of the trial 180 degrees – as long as you absolutely refuse to telegraph what your testimony will eventually be. 

LIBRA – Politicians, local government workers: Undercover detectives circulate amongst local city hall municipal cronies. Uranus, 2002-PN34, Thereus & Hylonome surmise that somebody requires a scapegoat. Unfortunately, to too many hardened white-collar criminals, you look naïve. Disappear. Stay away from the bad kids in the class. 

SCORPIO – A potential business partner will work with you but does not want to do business with what you negotiate the way you negotiate it. However, for your taste, this potential business partner seems a little too domineering. Uranus, 2002-PN34, Thereus & Hylonome advise both of you to find a third-party liaison to help you negotiate your differences – and, as destiny would have it, you both have the same third-party liaison in mind. 

SAGITTARIUS – A colleague who claims that you should take a retraining class to get much higher paying work speaks with legitimacy. While this colleague probably gets a cut for each person whom they recommend who makes the cut, from your end, Uranus, 2002-PN34, Thereus & Hylonome state that this deal is gold – especially since this work colleague also has professional connections who would be interested in hiring you right away. 

CAPRICORN – At the very least, expressing your creativity, even by attending an art gallery or a concert or by reading a book, can uplift your emotional negativity. Truly, on the upside, Uranus, 2002-PN34, Thereus & Hylonome insist that there is no limit. Be in the right place at the right time doing the right thing – and the right people will come to you. 

AQUARIUS – When too many real estate developers build in the same city at the same time, the glut of space makes it hard for many developers to pay back their debt. Uranus, 2002-PN34, Thereus & Hylonome advise you not to become too surprised that banks raise their interest rates to borrow money much higher than the prime rate would indicate. And, if you are looking for a place to buy or to mortgage, do not be too quick to cave into a realtor’s or landlord’s exorbitant demands – especially when the odds of the casino do not favor their current bets. 

PISCES – If friends now hurt because they bit off more than they could chew & digest financially, you don’t want to make them look bad, even when you are alone with them. However, some people now hurting for the same reason were rather arrogant about their “wealth.” Uranus, 2002-PN34, Thereus & Hylonome notice that, as far as you are concerned, they appear as Jackie Gleason playing Ralph Kramden in The Honeymooners after the police discovered that the money in the suitcase Ralph found on the bus was fake. Well, okay, either worthy or unworthy – which informs you of the next step in the battle: When third-party predators try to take advantage of friends’ vulnerable position. Don’t put yourself out on the line for anybody else for no good reason.

^ 2002-PN34 is an unnamed transneptunian object (TNO) discovered on August 6, 2002. The orbit of 2002-PN34 traverses from within the orbit of Uranus out past the orbit of Pluto. For information on how to interpret 2002-PN34, note reference to Philip Sedgwick below. 

> Thereus, a centaur planet that traverses the orbit of Saturn, was discovered in August 2001 & named in June 2003. Thereus was a centaur who hunted bears which, upon capture, he carried home alive. For information on how to interpret Thereus, formerly 2001-PT13, note reference to Philip Sedgwick below. 

< Hylonome, named after the wife of centaur Cyllarus, with whom she died during the Centaurs' battle with the Lapiths, was discovered in February 1995 & named during the year 2000. Hylonome bridges the gap in consciousness between Uranus & Neptune, forcing us to draw unexpected links between "accident" & "devotion" much more rapidly than is either wise or comfortable.

ARTICLE #21

Crantor< in Pisces trines* Asbolus> in Cancer from July 9, 2024 to February 2, 2025. Teachers, school administrators, coaches, camp counselors, parents: While you must supervise all children under your charge, you can only be in one place at one time. If reports of what happens where you are may be accurate or inaccurate, for any one of a number of reasons, including honest mistakes, obscured vision, conscious deceit or outright lies. Determine what reserves to which you will have access where you are not so that you can resume conform from exactly where you are.  

ARIES – All sorts of surveillance camera infiltrate institutions & communities where there are many children, especially schools. Therefore, miscreants who show their faces while committing their crimes are known & will be caught. Crantor & Asbolus state that what becomes a problem is when criminals with face masks show up. When this happens, nine times out of ten, professional criminals commit organized crimes. Don’t confuse wannabes with players.  

TAURUS – People who hang out in specific bars know people who hang out in other bars. Whether somebody likes you or somebody doesn’t like you, Crantor & Asbolus denote that emotional appraisals impel those who like you to proclaim it & advise you – while those who dislike you begin to despise you.

GEMINI – You work for your bosses & other bosses on separate projects, but also your bosses & other bosses on the same projects. Crantor & Asbolus implore you to be careful how you bill your hours & your overtime.  

CANCER – Crantor & Asbolus insist that law enforcement in international locations provide no travelers a free pass – Amanda Knox had to learn the hard way.  

LEO – Law enforcement: Sure, both from many different neighborhoods & in the region are all engaging in some procurement or sale of contraband. Even so, chasing kids everywhere is exhausting. Crantor & Asbolus advise you that you husband all your resources into identifying the location. . . of the well.  

 VIRGO – Mothers: The regional representative of Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) will be speaking to different mothers in neighborhoods throughout the local area. Whatever that representative has to say, Crantor & Asbolus advise you to talk with other mothers throughout the region who also show up. Gather intelligence.  

LIBRA – The phrase “office politics” sounds so vapid & benign until one talks to a boss about each specific individual employee or to each specific individual employee about the boss. In this context, Crantor & Asbolus warn that the wrong question can trigger a hidden land mine. Don’t be fooled by anybody’s corporate “happy face.”  

SCORPIO – Authority figures or cops did not see who amongst the group committed the violently illegal act, so until the guilty party within the group comes forward, the entire group is guilty. Crantor & Asbolus remind the Scorpion of this familiar scenario to reinforce the lesson, “Choose your friends carefully.”  

SAGITTARIUS – Parents in extended families: You may live equidistant from your in-laws & cousins, which is convenient & can be heart-warming. However, Crantor & Asbolus surmise that secretive younger cousins also reside equidistant from each other & their favorite underage drinking establishment or freelance contraband distributor. Be not naïve.  

CAPRICORN – Conversations amongst you, your spouse & friends about the interminable reptilian weirdness of the world eventually pushes your spouse past the point of objective consciousness, whether during these conversations or afterward, to a presentiment of augury. Is such divination legitimate & accurate? Crantor & Asbolus admonish all of you, “Do not judge. Simply watch.”  

AQUARIUS – Restauranteurs: If the seafood is fresh & clean, then the bouillabaisse, the fra diabelo, even the happy family, will taste astounding. Therefore, Crantor & Asbolus ask in earnest, “Is the seafood fresh & clean?”  

PISCES – You have your own opinion about how your child or children are developing morally. What you really need, however, is corroboration from other adults who see how your children behave.  Crantor & Asbolus strongly recommend that you listen carefully to what these other adults say as much as you are able to heed them. Apply what you hear to what you see.  

< Crantor, a centaur planet which crosses across the orbit of Uranus between the orbits of Saturn & Neptune, was discovered in April 2002 and named in December 2005. Demoleon the centaur killed Crantor the Lapith with a tree trunk that Demoleon had thrown at Theseus, who ducked out of the way, as per the advice of Pallas Athena, at the very last minute. For information on how to interpret Crantor, formerly 2002-GO9, note reference to Philip Sedgwick below.  

> Asbolus, named after the psychic centaur whose wisdom was completely ignored while his foolishness was universally emulated, was discovered in April 1995 & named in September 1999. Asbolus, which embodies the higher mind in the lower self, bridges the gap in consciousness between Jupiter & Neptune, warning us not to take our “leaders” at face value.

2002-VR130< in Leo squares*
2002-CR46> in Scorpio
from May 28, 2024 to February 17, 2025.

The drummer showed up at the bar at ten minutes to three in the afternoon.

The bartender moseyed on by, “Word, yo.”

The drummer & the bartender fist-bumped.

“All business?” the bartender asked.

“Yes, sir,” the drummer replied.

“Yes, sir, it is,” the bartender mirrored. The bartender filled up a pint glass with ice, pressed a button for the flow of seltzer water and swiped the entire lip of the glass with lemon & lime.

“Refresh thy thirst,” the bartender proclaimed, placing the pint before the drummer.

“Forthwith,” the drummer declared, hoisting the pint before the bartender in a toast.

The drummer then took a long draft of seltzer water.

The bartender then grabbed the pint from the drummer & refreshed his seltzer water immediately.

“That’s a fine lad,” the drummer proclaimed.

The squarehead then approached the drummer drinking his seltzer water at the bar at seven minutes to three in the afternoon.

“You’re early,” the squarehead observed.

“I’m even earlier than you,” the drummer replied.

“Speaks volumes,” the squarehead commented.

“When speaking volumes,” the drummer pontificated, “I find it is more effective to be terse.”

“Here, here,” the squarehead affirmed.

The bartender moseyed on by, “Word, yo.”

The drummer & the squarehead fist-bumped.

“All business?” the bartender asked.

“Yes, sir,” the squarehead replied.

“Yes, sir, it is,” the bartender mirrored. The bartender filled up a pint glass with ice, pressed a button for the flow of seltzer water and swiped the entire lip of the glass with lemon & lime.

The bartender then grabbed the pint from the squarehead & refreshed his seltzer water immediately.

“That’s a fine lad,” the squarehead proclaimed.

The bartender raised his right forefinger in the air. “To business,” the bartender proclaimed.

“To business,” the drummer raised his pint glass.

“To business,” the squarehead raised his pint glass.

The drummer & the squarehead clinked their pint glasses as they toasted business.

The bartender took his leave.

“She’s not a cop,” the squarehead told the drummer.

“She’s not a cop,” the drummer parroted.

The drummer asked the squarehead, “She’s still dating the chief’s son?”

 “Yeah,” the squarehead replied.

“The chief’s son is still lead singer of the band?” the drummer asked the squarehead.

“Yeah,” the squarehead replied.

“Status quo since we last spoke?” the drummer asked the squarehead.

“Yeah,” the squarehead replied.

“Cool,” the drummer said.

The drummer asked the squarehead, “So why did you want to see me?”

“The chief’s son & his band is going on tour with another band starting at the end of the summer,” the squarehead replied.

“Where?” the drummer asked.

“Nine clubs, all within a three-hundred mile or so radius,” the squarehead replied.

“Everybody’s driving?” the drummer asked.

“Yeah,” the squarehead replied.

“Who is the second band?” the drummer asked.

“Twin’s Twin,” the squarehead replied.

The drummer nodded thoughtfully. “Wasn’t the drummer in Twin’s Twin arrested?” the drummer asked.

“So was the lead singer,” the squarehead replied.

“Really?” the drummer asked, surprised. “That really sultry brunette with the perky breasts? She was trafficking with the drummer?”

“Nope,” the squarehead replied.

“She was dealing for the drummer?” the drummer asked.

“Nope,” the squarehead replied.

The drummer said nothing briefly, dumbfounded. “What?” the drummer exclaimed.

The squarehead maintained level eye contact with the drummer. “She was eating the fruit,” the squarehead declared.

The drummer’s eyes bulged. “Whoa!” the drummer exclaimed. “She was servicing the band?”

“More than that,” the squarehead explained. “It was outside the band.”

“So she wasn’t servicing the band?” the drummer asked.

“Of course, she was, bro!” the squarehead exclaimed. The squarehead paused. The squarehead calmed himself down. The squarehead explained. “The lead singer, just like with the drummer – the band is family.”

“You take care of family,” the drummer replied.

“You take care of family,” the squarehead confirmed.

“Everybody in the band knew what everybody was doing?” the drummer asked the squarehead.

“Outside of the family?” the squarehead asked for clarification.

“Outside of the family,” the drummer clarified.

“Everybody knew what he was doing,” the squarehead replied, “but nobody knew what she was doing.”

“Stands to reason,” the drummer commented.

The squarehead & the drummer paused briefly.

“So?” the drummer asked.

“We need you & your squeeze to plug in with Twin’s Twin,” the squarehead asserted.

This didn’t surprise the drummer at all but it did surprise the drummer a little bit. “You want me and my lady,” the drummer recapitulated.

“How is she, anyway?” the squarehead asked.

“How is she?” the drummer parroted in a way that insulted the parrot. “She’s friggin’ great!”

“She is totally friggin’ great,” the squarehead smiled sharkishly.

“Yeah, I’ve got to watch your totally lame ass around her, you low friggin’ snake,” the drummer cursed the squarehead.

“Hey!” the squarehead lifted up his pint glass in toast to the drummer. “Business is business.”

The drummer backed off. The drummer lifted up his pint glass in toast to the squarehead. “Business is business.”

“So the chief wants to do clean up for the region,” the squarehead explained. “Twin’s Twin’s drummer played big fish in this region but he really wasn’t that big a player. Really, he was just a big a player as a musician as he was as a dealer.”

“No, the band’s great,” the drummer said. “Kind of like Roxy Music with Chrissie Hynde. Last album in the CD changer. Clothes have been off for at least two albums.”

“Can you play their music?” the squarehead asked.

“Well, how do you figure I’m going to get time off from my job?” the drummer asked the squarehead.

“Relax,” the squarehead replied. “Your gig with the homeless is with the city, right?”

“You know that,” the drummer replied.

 “Believe me, the chief will have it covered,” the squarehead guaranteed. “The chief might be able to arrange a promotion for you in the end.

“So,” the squarehead repeated, “can you play their music?”

“Yeah,” the drummer replied.

“Really?” the squarehead asked.

“Yeah,” the drummer replied. “It’s straight ahead.”

“Can she play their music?” the squarehead asked.

“My girlfriend?” the drummer replied. The drummer paused. The drummer thought. “You’d have to ask her,” the drummer told the squarehead.

“I’m asking you if she has the aptitude to play their music,” the squarehead asked.

The drummer leveled some heavy, penetrating direct eye contact with the squarehead. “You do understand that she would have to want to do it?” the drummer asked for confirmation from the squarehead.

“It’s no different with you,” the squarehead qualified, “except, of course, she is a woman.”

“And it’s going to be extremely uptight for me, you know,” the drummer asserted.

“No, it will be a piece of cake,” the squarehead replied.

“Everybody is going to come up to me looking for product,” the drummer objected.

“Believe me, nobody is going to come up to you looking for product,” the squarehead replied. “We’re already working with Twin’s Twin’s drummer.”

“Twin’s Twin’s drummer flipped?” the drummer asked.

“Twin’s Twin’s drummer totally flipped,” the squarehead confirmed. “You & your squeeze are going to have to practice with Twin’s Twin a lot through the end of the summer to get their music down. During that time, everybody within Twin’s Twin are going to believe that you & your squeeze are undercover cops. By the time you show up in town, you’ll be telegraphing. Nobody will cross your forcefield.”

“And what about my girl?” the drummer asked. “What if random douchebag approaches her to pay her to eat the fruit?”

“Look,” the squarehead told the drummer straight, “You already want to bash my skull for admiring your lady & you’ve known me forever – and you know that I’d never be that low a douchebag. So, as undercover bad ass, you just mark your territory as you walk into every bar in every town with your squeeze tight on your arm, just like you own her hot piece of ass.

“Then,” the squarehead explained, “when random douchebag approaches her to pay her to eat his fruit, you just Fred Flintstone his disgusting yap & rip the teeth out of his skull. There will be plenty of real undercover from here & from there. All will be status quo.

“You’ll enjoy it,” the squarehead promised.

The drummer paused. The drummer reestablished eye contact with the squarehead, “Probably.”

The drummer paused again. The drummer looked at the wood of the bar.

The squarehead waited an appreciable amount of time. Then, the squarehead asked, “Well?”

The drummer looked up. The drummer reestablished eye contact with the squarehead, “You really have to ask my girlfriend. I can’t speak for her.”

 “Well,” the squarehead asked, “what about you?”

“You already know,” the drummer replied. “My girlfriend will think of things that we would prefer to ignore.”

“That’s why we ignored them,” the squarehead replied.

“Right,” the drummer confirmed. 

ARIES – Somebody asks you to look at the four members of some band & says, “Who doesn’t belong?” You complain that nobody gives you the criteria with which to judge those four members – but 2002-VR130 & 2002-CR46 respond, “Nobody ever gives you the criteria by which to judge!” It is only at this point of the process that you learn who got arrested for what – but did you already know the answer? 

TAURUS – Parents instruct family members not to affiliate with specific local criminals under threat of punishment by those parents – a good sign, because, if you are a lost cause, like Lisa Robin Kelly as Laurie Forman in That 70s Show, parents would simply abandon you. Even so, 2002-VR130 & 2002-CR46 declare that parents expect family members to behave in extremely sneaky ways. Let’s hope that the parents find those family members first. 

GEMINI – Because one of your new best friends is related to, or knows, very well, one of your work colleagues, you learn secrets. 2002-VR130 & 2002-CR46 say that the only way to continue to maintain positive relations with both individuals is to act like you are completely oblivious. 

CANCER – Become more strategic how you spend your money on, or in the presence of, this new sweetheart – as well as in the presence of this new sweetheart’s “friends.” 2002-VR130 & 2002-CR46 worry that you may divide one from the other by devoting money, spontaneously, that you had already earmarked for the other. The best solution to the problem: Plan a major purchase for your sweetheart without telling anybody so as to limit your available cash for your friends without them knowing about it. 

LEO – Don’t discuss your family with your friends – unless your friends already know them. 2002-VR130 & 2002-CR46 declare that if any member of your family meets your friends than such a meeting was fortuitous. Otherwise, don’t test fate. 

VIRGO – Word filters down from bureaucratic & institutional enemies that they oppose & hate you through third-party proxies. Are these third-party proxies themselves allies or enemies? 2002-VR130 & 2002-CR46 recommend that you find out – that way, you can plan strategies by which to protect yourself or to retaliate. 

LIBRA – 2002-VR130 & 2002-CR46 urge you not to share your nitty gritty, gumshoe, law enforcement, borderline criminal, Rockford File personal & professional connections with to associates & clients alike. Offer to act as interface between one & the other – but don’t reveal the identities of such connections to associates & clients in any form whatsoever. 

SCORPIO – 2002-VR130 & 2002-CR46 state that law enforcement officials want to know why so many people from so many walks of life know you. To their mind, you engage in vice – also to their mind, you know enough people that make them think you traffic in vice. Indeed, you always seem to be where “the action” is – but law enforcement does not believe the innocent response that you are “a bell-weather for all that is interesting.” Protect your legal standing & reputation. 

SAGITTARIUS – Excursions into vice become legally & perhaps fatally treacherous under the current influence of 2002-VR130 & 2002-CR46. There is no longer any casual entourage; there are no “tourists.” The only people left are those in it for a dime & a dollar. Stop kidding yourself. 

CAPRICORN – Old money bluebloods & former financial gods of an untouchable pantheon as those in the process of falling from the heights commence to declare bankruptcy. 2002-VR130 & 2002-CR46 demand that you stop worshipping yesterday’s slain deities: Get in line – push hard to the front of the line if you must – and get your money! 

AQUARIUS – Both partners & rivals engage in economic & legal batter with power brokers & bosses. You therefore become a political football under the current influence of 2002-VR130 & 2002-CR46. Expect nobody to take your own interest in consideration. Seek out an exit strategy in case the heat in the kitchen starts to melt plastic. 

PISCES – Gym rats: You know what effort you had to make for how long in order to get the results that you now embody. Employees: You know what you had to do to earn the money, property & luxuries you now enjoy. Now so as to protect yourself as steroids make a comeback, and to zero in on one of your professional peers who has just begun to sell coke or weed on the down low, 2002-VR130 & 2002-CR46 urge you to segregate yourself from the cheaters as you affiliate only with the winners. Don’t tolerate “shadows.”
