Those expecting an impeachment in the next 3 months may turn away now... (or you may simply dismiss the following as primitive conjecture).

It'll be interesting to observe how much of this will come to fruition by around this time July.

Excerpts:


...Nobody knows what makes astrology work. It’s a feeble and pigheaded excuse for rationality to insist that an effect can’t happen if its cause isn’t known—and when a scientist says “There’s nothing that can cause that effect,” what he or she actually means, of course, is “we don’t know of anything that can cause that effect.” In the kind of old-fashioned occult philosophy I favor, the working theory is that there’s a subtle something-or-other that seems to be related to biological life, which fills the solar system (at least), and in which planetary movements relative to the Sun, the Earth, the Moon, and the other planets set up complicated patterns of resonance that affect living things here on Earth. Is that true? Heck if I know, but it does seem to explain the observed phenomena tolerably well.

With that in mind, let’s proceed to the 2018 Aries ingress for Washington DC. As already noted, this kind of chart is a basic tool of mundane astrology. People have been casting ingress charts for national capitals since the national capitals of interest were Babylon and Nineveh, so we’ve got quite a rich body of analytical tools to go by.

Image

Here’s the chart. For those of you who don’t know how to read an astrological chart, the circle in the center is the notional Earth, and the circle around the outside is the notional heavens. The lines dividing the space in between mark the dividing lines, or cusps, between the twelve houses, which are divisions of the sky as seen from a particular point on Earth. Each cusp position is marked on the zodiac. See the one over on the left side, 04° Cancer 52’? That’s the ascendant, the cusp of the first house, which represents the point on the ecliptic that’s rising over the eastern horizon at the moment of the spring equinox at Washington DC. See the one a little right of the top, with an arrow pointing to it, 13° Pisces 39’? That’s the midheaven, the cusp of the tenth house, which represents the point of the ecliptic that’s highest in the sky at that same moment. Remember these; they’re of central importance to this chart.

The ascendant of an ingress chart tells you, among other things, how long the influence of that equinox will last. Cancer is a cardinal sign—the signs of the zodiac are either cardinal, fixed, or mutable—and an ingress with a cardinal ascendant only has effect for three months. We’ll have to cast another chart for the summer solstice to tell what’s going to happen after that.

[...]

So that’s basically what we can expect in the three months to come: a generally successful period for Trump’s presidency, marred by loud public quarrels with Congress and the military; a major shift in Congress, out of which important new legislation comes, probably affecting the military; more giddy excess in the nation’s speculative markets; a turn away from economic globalism, leading to enduring tensions in international affairs, but driving a significant improvement in domestic economic conditions; and an executive branch increasingly lost in its own self-referential bubble, but not yet undone by that bad habit.

You’ll notice that this ingress chart doesn’t predict the kind of future that most people like to insist we’re going to get any day now. The end of the world has no place in it, nor do any of the various leaps of technology, or consciousness, or the other forms of twinkle dust with which so many would-be prophets like to entertain their listeners. Neither does the all-consuming economic crash that so many people on the doomward end of the blogosphere have been predicting with the maniacal regularity of broken cuckoo clocks for decades now.

For that matter, this chart doesn’t predict that Trump will suddenly sprout a short black mustache, overthrow the Constitution, and impose the fascist police state that so many of his opponents like to pretend they’re fighting; nor does it predict that he will be impeached, or thrown out by a military coup. Do such things happen from time to time in history? Sure, but they’re fairly rare, all things considered, and signaled well in advance by an assortment of historical and astrological indicators.

Such fantasies are colorful, and they’re comforting to those who find the ordinary realities of politics and history too humdrum for their tastes, but it’s not the job of mundane astrology to cater to such interests. It’s the job of mundane astrology to give some degree of advance warning of the political and social climate in which politicians, not to mention the rest of us, will make the decisions that will shape our lives in the months to come. How well does it work? We’ll discuss that in three months.

I love astrology thanks for posting this

trump's three-front legal war turns on sex, money and Russia......and he has really really bad lawyers

It's in the stars!

and I believe trump's fate just maybe be in the hands of a adult film star that brings him down :)

Forecast

Spring Stormys in the future with possible conspiracy disturbance of the atmosphere....obstruction winds.....and perjury squalls
Mazars and Deutsche Bank could have ended this nightmare before it started.
They could still get him out of office.
But instead, they want mass death.
Don’t forget that.

What's the over/under on who/what brings down Trump first (Mueller; Stormy Daniels; RussiaPocalypse; some yet-to-be-disclosed-probe/farce, or none of the above)? Tough call. Stormy may have an edge at the moment... (unless she opts to sell out).

The attorney representing porn star Stormy Daniels suggested his client would be open to settling her lawsuit against President Trump outside of court.

“If they came to you with a settlement in this case, would you accept it?” CBS This Morning‘s Anthony Mason asked attorney Michael Avenatti. “I think we would consider it; I would converse with my client. It would depend on the terms of a settlement,” Avenatti responded. “But at this point, I don’t see how the case gets resolved short of the truth coming out.”

Daniels, 39, is suing Trump over a non-disclosure agreement stemming from an extra-marital one-night stand she allegedly had with the president in 2006. Her lawyer argues the agreement is not binding since it was not signed by Trump himself.

whatever......trump can not weather the storm that is coming

trump has a 20 million dollar lawsuit against her

I don't think she would take a settlement considering the fact that trump never pays he bills :)

I don't think they are going away and neither is Mueller or Richard Painter

btw Michael Avenatti is a master at baiting

These passages in the Court's order do not bode well for the defendants and suggest that there is a strong likelihood that the Court will ultimately agree with our requests for discovery and a trial. They also destroy David Schwartz's claims that the motion was without merit.

Here is an order from the Ct denying our motion as premature on procedural grounds. We will refile the motion as soon as DT, MC, and EC, LLC file their motion to compel arbitration seeking to hide the facts from public view. We expect this any day.

Attention should shift to Trump's assault on Summer Zervos and then defaming her as a liar. This one's criminal.

Cue the appearance of Cohen’s lawyer. His name is David Schwartz; apparently, he’s supposed to be Trump’s fixer’s fixer. Last night on CNN, Schwartz endeavored to explain why Trump never signed the hush agreement: “The president was not aware of the agreement. At least, Michael Cohen never told him about the agreement. Michael Cohen left the (Trump signature) option open.” Schwartz said that Cohen had “the option” to go to Trump, but “he chose not to.”
The noise you just heard was Schwartz shooting off his own foot. What a gift to Stormy!

Schwartz declared, on national television, that Cohen negotiated a deal without even telling his own client (Trump) that he (Trump) was being made a party to a deal that, according to the document itself, required Trump’s signature. The whole deal was designed to ensure that Stormy wouldn’t talk about Trump or release “images” of Trump — and yet, according to Schwartz, there’s no signature from Trump because Cohen never told Trump.

My virtual pesos will be placed on the bet that, come July, there'll be no substantive change to the theatrics: Trump will still be squatting like an anti-Buddha in that Oval Office, tweeting away at his captive audience to the perpetual ire of those that choose to dedicate energy to this rabble (indeed, he may have more haters fervently tracking him than fans).

I'm ambivalent, either way. Whatever happens, The People lose: there is no salve on the horizon for us.

The props may change, but it's on the same stage.

You are misusing the term over/under. That refers to the final state (by the term of the bet) of a continuous value, not a binary outcome or a set of discrete outcomes that can be rendered as binary (Mueller Yes/No, Daniels Yes/No, etc.). You could have an over/under on how many days it takes until the down-bringing, but not on the cause. In sports betting, you bet on a team to win or lose (the binary outcome) or whether the total points scored by both teams exceeds a certain value (the over/under). I guess you're thinking of odds of an outcome. For example:

Next 3 months
Mueller investigation causes Trump removal/resignation. 1000:1
Revelations related to Trump's personal sexual violtions cause removal/resignation. 100:1
Sudden attack on North Korea or Iran. 5:1
Financial crash for reasons endogenous to present business/finance cycle. 20:1

As for the astrology, in the next 3 months I also do not expect any of the most horrific and dramatic outcomes listed-- the next crash or the ecological collapse are inevitable barring a radical systemic shift, but hard to date in advance; whereas the caricatured "Hitler" option totally misunderstands the workings of fascistic politics at the present time. When the three months pass and none of these happen, for predictable reasons evident to material analysis, I shall submit it doesn't prove anything about the significance of planet/satellite/star juxtapositions as seen from the planet in question.

Yep - i'm no sports gambler (poor 'bluff'), and as such employed the wrong terminology there -- "odds of an outcome" was my intention.

That next 'crash' has been on the horizon for well over a year now. Would be folly to attempt to time it; current levels have been unsustainable.. And yet, persistent. Until it happens.

Trump Appeals NY Judge Ruling That Zervos Defamation Suit Can Proceed

Caitlin MacNeal


President Donald Trump’s lawyers on Sunday sought to appeal a New York judge’s ruling last week that the defamation lawsuit against Trump filed by former “Apprentice” contestant Summer Zervos can proceed.

New York Supreme Court Judge Jennifer G. Schecter ruled last month that Zervos’ lawsuit against the President can proceed. Trump had sought the case’s dismissal, arguing that a sitting President cannot face lawsuits in state court. Schecter disagreed with the argument from Trump’s lawyer, and allowed Zervos’ case to proceed.

Zervos filed a defamation lawsuit against Trump in January 2017 over his denial of her accusation that he inappropriately groped and kissed her in 2007. Gloria Allred recently left Zervos’ legal team in the case but said that her departure had nothing to do with the merits of the lawsuit.

John Michael Greer, has a new blog on the dreamwidth platform. He posted this relating to market changes that could well have a strong influence on US political events moving forward

https://ecosophia.dreamwidth.org/21604.html

I don't know how many of my readers have been keeping track of the price of oil, but -- ahem -- it's rising again. West Texas Intermediate (WTI), one of the two standard benchmark grades of crude oil, ended the day a little below $70 a barrel; Brent -- the other standard benchmark -- was just below $75 a barrel. Just a few years ago they bottomed out in the low $40s. Now some thoughtful observers are starting to warn of an imminent oil shock.

It's hard to tell at this point whether the price of oil will keep going up until it cracks $100 a barrel and once again starts drawing blood from the world's economy, or whether we'll see another downward lurch before the next oil price spike. My guess is that we're nearing the next spike. The gimmicks that kept petroleum prices under control for a while -- frantic extraction of shale oil and tar sands, on the one hand, and economic policies that suppressed demand by forcing a growing fraction of people in the industrial world into poverty, on the other -- were never more than temporary kluges; they postponed the problem while doing nothing to fix it and, inevitably, made the final consequences worse.

The predicament we're in isn't hard to understand. The Earth is a sphere, and therefore contains a finite amount of fossil fuels; we're drawing down that stock of fossil fuels at a breakneck pace; most of the good stuff -- light sweet crude, anthracite coal, and so on -- was extracted and burned a long time ago; and now we're trying to keep the global industrial system running on low-grade fuels that are increasingly costly to extract and yield less and less energy. Renewable resources can't meet more than a small fraction of the demand -- despite whopping government subsidies in many nations, renewables account for only 9% of energy production worldwide, and 7% of that consists of hydroelectric; wind, solar, and all the other renewable resources produce a fraction of one per cent each.

The solution isn't hard to understand, either. We have to reduce our consumption of energy, and the products of energy, to levels that can be supported indefinitely by renewable resources -- let's say, 10% of current energy consumption. "We," furthermore, means you, personally, and me, and everyone else. The only choice we have is whether we do this deliberately, or whether shortages, soaring prices, and economic dysfunction do it for us.

You've heard this before, dear reader. I've talked about it at length since the early days of my old blog, The Archdruid Report. The only thing that's changed since then is that billions more barrels of oil from our planet's dwindling supplies have been extracted and burnt. There may be another round of short-term fixes that will push off the day of reckoning a little further...or there may not. What will you do?

Spring of 2019 :)

Judge rules Trump must sit for deposition in defamation lawsuit

President Trump must be deposed in a defamation lawsuit brought last year by a former contestant on "The Apprentice," a judge in Manhattan ruled Tuesday.

In a court order, Judge Jennifer Schechter set a Jan. 31, 2019, deadline for both parties to be deposed in the lawsuit, the New York Post reported. The parties also now face a July 13 deadline to issue requests for documents in the case.

The lawsuit brought by Summer Zervos, a former contestant on "The Apprentice," alleges that Trump defamed her by publicly claiming she had fabricated claims that Trump groped and kissed her without her consent in 2007.

According to the Post, the lawsuit is set to go to trial sometime after June 7, 2019.

Despite Schechter's order that Trump must sit for a deposition, there's still a chance he could avoid that. His lawyers have appealed the case to the New York Court of Appeals, and are still awaiting a response.

Mark Kasowitz, a lawyer for Trump, also said on Tuesday that he would seek to block Zervos's lawyers from asking the president about other women who allege they were sexually harassed or assaulted by Trump, the Post reported.

Schechter's order came two weeks after Kasowitz argued in a court filing that the president is immune to prosecution, and offered point-by-point denials of the allegations against Trump.

Filing the response, however, allowed Zervos's legal team to request to formally question the president under oath.
