German 2013 elections

15-04-2013

Federal election in Germany is due on September 22, 2013 and A. Merkel is candidate for a third term in the Chancellery. So far, with an unemployment rate around 5% and a stable economy, Germany has become the pay-master for the rest of the euro zone, accepting to provide bailout funds for the debt-laden South, primarily in order to retain its exporting capacity.

Yet, the anti-European sentiments are increasing in the country and Merkel is facing difficulties in pushing the bailout packages thr…

Cyprus crisis

22-03-2013

The Cyprus crisis is the first major event of 2013 which proves that the stability of the single currency remains fragile. Although the Cypriot economy makes up less than 0.2 percent of the euro zone, recent events on the island are indicative of what is going to happen if a bigger debt-laden country of South asks for a bailout in order to save its financial sector. Images of shuttered banks and queues at cash points were a matter of hours after the terms of the Euro group plan had been rejected…

Greece in the eurozone

12-03-2013

Greece's adherence to the eurozone has become a euro-moan. The economy is in its sixth year of contraction and there is little hope of a return to a noticeable growth for the country. It has been almost three years since the first bailout and the poverty is soaring, protesters are regularly taking on the streets and unemployment rate is reaching the 27% mark. Certainly, without the consecutive bailouts combined with austerity measures, Greece could default on its debt. This absolute worst case s…

Shootings in the US

09-01-2013

The Uranus-Pluto square (2010-2015) seems to be the agent of criminal acts, whereby Pluto's darkness and hatred is abruptly projected onto society. Nowadays, this kind of action appears more frequently in America, where too many people have access to firearms.

The endnote contains a table with serious criminal acts committed recently in the US. Most of them can be related to the ongoing Uranus-Pluto square, activated by transits of Sun, Moon and Mars. In the second column the crimes are cited, …

Suez Canal blockage

27-11-2012

The Suez Canal was officially opened on 17 November 1869 (1) with considerable celebration which lasted several days and was attended by thousands of people and many heads of State. Yet, there is a narration of an official quest indicating the November 15 as date of opening (2). I hold the latter testimony because it also defines the hour, which is always useful in the delineation of an astrological chart. So, what's the use of a canal's chart? Its projection onto the future helps foresee the s…

Petraeus eclipsed

16-11-2012

On November 9 General David H. Petraeus (7 Nov 1952) resigned his position as CIA Director publicly admitting to have an extramarital affair with his acolyte Paula Broadwell (9 Nov 1972). Both have Sun in Scorpio, so astrologically the scandal was a clear Saturn-in-Scorpio affair in combination with November's solar eclipse in this sign. General Petraeus and P. Broadwell were placed in the umbra, General John Allen (15 Dec 1953) and Jill Kelley (1 January 1975) in the penumbra of the eclipse. Th…

Welcome

Articles on astrology, predictions and comments are the topics of this site.
I cherish astrology and I have been practicing it for many years as a hobby. Somebody has said: "Profession is a practice which we are paid for; the same, when we pay for it, is a hobby". I admit I have paid for it sometimes, as he who walks gazing at the stars is proverbially at the mercy of puddles in the road. But the Earth is round and rotating, in order to stand on its surface one must set a foot out of it. Besides, I am Greek and Thales who fell into the well was a compatriot.
