Chart d.o.b. and the 2015 of Forecaster Martin Armstrong

Martin Armstrong is a financial forecaster who developed his own system based on history to predict all time highs and lows, and crisis in nations. Although it is common knowledge that results from the past don't guarantee those of the future, I am interested after seeing The Forecaster (http://forecaster-movie.com/en/the-movie/ )

He forecasted a problem with the states debts in October 2015 (a close down) and - in 2014 - he saw indications for a world wide war and/or the fall of Europe after clashes with immigrants. It is not hard to predict problems in Europe, but ... in February 2014 there weren't those amounts of immigrants to house, feed and more, like today. It is a migrant crisis (see Wikipedia), during Neptune in the first 10 degrees of Pisces, like the Migration Period of 376 (see: http://www.astromarkt.net/astrology_to_study-html/neptune-in-pisces-html/ )

How are Europe, the USA and Putin doing today according to the charts?

• The chart of Europe (Treaty of Rome, January 1 1958) has Neptune conjunct progressed Sun right now and that is in line with confusion, invasion and uncertainty. 
• Transit Pluto is opposite the USA Sun and this describes how the leading position of the USA is being challenged today.
• Transit Pluto is square Vladimir Putin's Sun, even on his birthday:)

It is stressy.

Shortly, transit Neptune will hit the USA Progressed Sun as well. Neptune always offers mist and obscurity, if there is no strong ideal to 'go for' (and end up in the mist as well, sometimes:). So, the 'stars' aren't favorable. But we can all see that.

Neptune is all around. I mentioned this before here http://astropost.blogspot.nl/2015/09/syria-merkel-germany-and-astrology.html and I quote myself:

...The chart of Germany (United Germany, October 3, 1990, Berlin, zero hours) has transit Neptune in Pisces inconjunct the natal Sun in Libra. That is exactly the kind of aspect that makes it hard to deal with all the Neptunic things such as refugees, the sea, idealism, beliefs and the media. This aspect demands clarity, openness and open eyes when there is little balance and too much confusion. It is hard to do. The chart of the leader of the nation is in line with that. 

As Angela Merkel's Progressed Sun is in the 24th of Virgo, quindecile (165d) transit Neptune, there will be a strong focus..

Martin Armstrong however, will see Jupiter trine his progressed Sun later this month, just like in 1989 when he forecasted the all time high (going low). There is no time of birth available, so that all I can tell you about his chart is this:

- Saturn doesn't make major aspects in sigh or orb 5 degrees. Parents! Ambition! Business!
- Sun in Scorpio, Moon in Pisces: discretion and secrets (he never gave away his source code, even not in jail and under pressure)
- Jupiter/Neptune = Sun (speculations, fans and followers, beliefs)
- Jupiter 157.5 Pluto (minor aspects, major impact; this increases confidence)

Well, time will tell if the system of Martin Armstrong can forecast major problems like wars and crashes always or if those who have been warned will be able to prevent this or...that it is just speculations. I'd rather believe that...

PS The picture is of the place where they kept Martin Armstrong for 7 years without sun or rain on his face, trying to make him give away the source code of his system (according to the movie). From the way that he has been treated you can tell how scary it is for some people if a person can really 'forecast' the future of those in power and with money.

Syria, Merkel, Germany and astrology

Battle of the Sea Gods by Mantegna, thanks to Wiki Commons

No way to look away and not consider the charts involved in the tragedy of refugees in Europe today...What is in the charts? You'll see Neptune in the charts of Germany and Merkel, while Uranus and Pluto hit the chart of January 1, 1925 (Syria). And coincidence, or not: Neptune is the planet of 'no borders, no limits' and Uranus-Pluto means intense tension and dramatic change.

SYRIA
The Syrian Federation became the State of Syria in 1 January 1925, says Wikipedia. Have a look at the chart of that moment:

Sun, Progressed Sun, Ascendant, Progressed Midheaven and MC all have a position between the 10th and 16th degree of the Capital Signs. Those are exactly the degrees that were and will be hit by Uranus and Pluto. These two planets were 90 degrees apart (square) since 2011 and symbolized the unrest, extreme tension and dramatic change in the world right now. Also, the Progressed Sun of Syria's chart will be inconjunct Saturn within a year from now. This is a signal of coming decline. Right now there is migration from Syria to Europe. The people wants to move to Germany, where they expect to get a better life than in any of the countries that they walked or travelled through on the way to the country of Mrs Merkel, who recently sort of invited the refugees but she forgot to bring them 'home'. Progressed Ascendant near Mercury (planet of transportation) perhaps illustrates the situation. 

Charts of people who depend upon the State or the leader of the nation have to be considered in the light of the charts of the nation or the leader of the nation. The bad and hard aspects in that chart will mirror nasty situation and conditions, more than they do in times of peace and harmony. There is more... 

Transit Pluto opposition the Progressed Moon of the chart above reflects intense emotions and the people in problems, while transit Saturn inconjunct progressed Mercury seems completely in line with the difficult voyage with so many lost lives and what people left behind when they said goodbye to there home land.

Meanwhile, the area is at war, people die and suffer, and there is no help on the way. That is how migration started in 376, too, also with Neptune in early Pisces (see my site Astromarkt: http://www.astromarkt.net/astrology_to_study-html/neptune-in-pisces-html/)

Considering the chart above, it doesn't look like there will be a solution for Syria, not soon enough to stop the migration. Now how about Germany?

GERMANY

The chart of Germany (United Germany, October 3, 1990, Berlin, zero hours) has transit Neptune in Pisces inconjunct the natal Sun in Libra. That is exactly the kind of aspect that makes it hard to deal with all the Neptunic things such as refugees, the sea, idealism, beliefs and the media. This aspect demands clarity, openness and open eyes when there is little balance and too much confusion. It is har to do. The chart of the leader of the nation is in line with that. 

MERKEL

As Angela Merkel's Progressed Sun is in the 24th of Virgo, quindecile (165d) transit Neptune, there will be a strong focus (if not obsession) with the issue of Sun-Neptune that is in the nation's chart as well. Here is her chart:

In her natal chart Neptune is on the MC and square the Sun (just like in the chart of Obama) to show you that certain ideals, ideologies and beliefs will be of utmost importance in her life and connected to her career. Now Mrs Merkel's name sounds all over the Budapest' railway station. Being an idol that way, may not have been her purpose.

It is a complex situation and apparently, the political leaders can't deal with it. So the people who lost their homes and didn't see any future, made the choice to start walking to an unknown but peaceful future and to demand access to the nation that seems to have the best economic and cultural cards.

Uranus-Pluto and Neptune in Pisces, symbols of revolution and change, did there job. All that astrologers can do, is signal the aspects and point at the indications of dramatic change. There is no astrological solution, but there is some hope.

The Uranus-Pluto square is fading away slowly, and Neptune in Pisces is moving on. Someday, all charts have changed and I hope it will be in a good way.  There are hard aspects always, but these two  astrological indications were present in revolutionary times of religious wars and migration in the past and are now losing there importance. But, like I said on Astromarkt:

Eventually, any hard aspect between Uranus and Pluto issues the value and problem of change, and the price to pay for it.

Some of us had to pay a lot...

Quindecile and final WC2014

World Cup final 2014 and what's the quindecile's got to do with it? Read it here!

I have been experimenting with the charts of coaches and the final moments of matches to see if the Midheaven of that moment points at a planet that shows their emotions (happy or not) , combined with the coach's chart, transits and progressions. Looking back at Netherlands-Argentina, you see that the transit Sun square Louis van Gaal's natal Neptune signaled a negative trend, while the positive Jupiter helped Alejandro Sabella's Sun. Of course there was more, like the Midheaven of the official final moment on Neptune in the chart of the Netherlands That is when it went wrong. So, good times for Mr Sabella, and not for Van Gaal. 

Of course, they could have won anyway, because there is free will and no predestination, isn't it? So never mind what follows here.

FINAL World Cup 2014

Charts below are for Netherlands-Brazil with the transits of November 9, 1948 (Scolari) and August 8, 1951 (Van Gaal). Just click for a better view.

My interpretation of these charts lead to the following results of July 12 and July 13 2014:

1 Argentina

2 Germany

3 Brazil

4 Netherlands

And I hope I'm wrong and I know that there is no hour of birth for 3 out of the 4 coaches. But...

GERMANY - ARGENTInA

Joachim Löw (see his chart on Astrodatabank) has transit Neptune inconjunct Progressed Midheaven on July 13. If he wasn't a coach right now I'd warn him for leaking roofs, insects, negative press and disillusionment. Perhaps it is his roof only... Still, it is a silly aspect for the day of joy that his fans are waiting for. 

Now here comes the quindecile (the 165 degree aspect of focus and obsession). During Germany-Brasil the German coach had Jupiter on his side. Transit Jupiter was conjunct his progressed Ascendant AND quindecile his natal Sun. This double support was mirrored by the score: 7-1! 

Jupiter didn't stay in the same place, but moved on. Plus, on July 13, Sabella's progressed Sun is quindecile Jupiter. The Argentine coach is certain of his future position and doesn't need to win. He is happy anyway. But on July 13, he is more happy. So? My guess is that Argentina wins. But I might be wrong, so don't bet on it. 

Have you noticed that there are two quindeciles with Jupiter and two coaches for the positions 1 and 2 in the world? That is because quindeciles are strong aspects. There is a strong focus on success for both coaches in this period. More on the quindecile later...

NETHERLANDS- BRAZIL

Who wants to win more? I guess that it is Scolari. He lost so badly when the Saturn-Uranus inconjunct hit his natal Sun! He lost his contract already. He's got nothing to loose and everything to win, including his honor. The team of Louis van Gaal tells the world that they don't want a 'comforting finale for 3 and 4'. Van Gaal still wants to win. Will he win? 

Scolari's progressed Sun opposition the natal Mars of Van Gaal tells us about competition. Both have a Sun-Pluto issue at the official final moment. Sun-Pluto wants to win. And Sun is for honor. Scolari's Sun is spot on the Midheaven of the final moment. 

QUINDECILE:165 degrees

Noel Tyl pointed at the quindecile for obsession and focus and he is right. Venus quindecile Venus in synastry, for example, mirrors obsessive love (whatever happens, see: http://astropost.blogspot.nl/2012/08/venus-quindecile-venus-obsessive-love.html )

Transit quindecile or progressed aspects of 165 degrees show that you are in the middle of a period with a focus on a special person, idea or job. Check your chart for it. I mentioned the Sun-Jupiter quindecile of the two winning coaches above. When Jupiter was in the 5th degree of Cancer in my 4th house, quindecile my Sun and MC, following the good results of a check up in hospital, I quit my job and never ever felt sorry for it. So... a Sun-Jupiter quindecile makes you aware of your fortunate situation, of being happy and lucky. If this happens to any coach on the day of the final of the World Cup 2014, wouldn't you expect him to be very happy, too? But, to make it tricky for the astrologer: it could be about something else than that match! 

It is (and almost WAS) an experiment. A difficult, time eating experiment. But for some silly reason I keep doing it. It is like trying to see it the cloud above the place of the match warns for rain over one of the coaches or will simply be blown away by the wind. Still, I liked doing it. Must be a quindecile somewhere! Have a nice weekend!

French president Hollande, Julie Gayet and Venus-Neptune

French president Hollande was in the news this week because of a picture of a man with helmet on a scooter, supposedly him, on his way to his lover Julie Gayet. It is interesting to see how Venus-Neptune works in this case.

Here is the chart of Julie Gayet. The transits are the positions on the day of birth of the president.

(click to enlarge)

Her Venus is exactly square his Venus. So even if they don't have the same tastes or preferences, they like each other.
Her Venus is inconjunct Neptune. It is not uncommon for an artist to have a Venus-Neptune aspect. In fact, most of them have such an aspect, as you may see on Art&Astrology. But it is also an aspect related to 'affairs' (secret loves, romance and unfortunate loves).
Transit Neptune is inconjunct HIS Venus now. So now they both have a Venus inconjunct Neptune to share.
Her Venus receives a trine from Neptune. As I mentioned in the article on resonance, a transit repeating a natal aspect combination is more important than usual.

Hollande has a 'calling' Venus. You know who also had a 'calling' Venus? Mitterand: http://astropost.blogspot.nl/2008/10/when-ladies-smile-like-in-chart-of.html

Living example of Uranus-Pluto: Dieudonné M'bala M'bala

Uranus is square Pluto, still and Mars adds some fuel. You can see it in the New Year's chart. 

Some of what happens these days perfectly mirrors Uranus-Pluto. This post is about a man born in 1966. That was with Uranus conjunct Pluto. 

Remember the post on 'Resonance',  the effect of the interaction between mundane transit aspects and natal aspects?*) 

 Quote:

When a transit repeats a natal aspect combination, this transit resonates the natal aspect. It sounds and resounds. It sounds harder on fruitful ground.

The generation of the mid-sixties is likely to be 'hit' by Uranus-Pluto's square. M'bala M'bala is one of them.

DIEUDONNE

Dieudonné M’bala M’bala was born in the decade of the 'protest generation' and is now the example of a ‘living Uranus-Pluto’. He is one of the most controversial persons in France today. I'll tell you why. 

He is the inventor of the ‘quenelle’, a salute that reminds us of the Nazi salute. He is said to be an anti-Semite because what he says is anti-Semite. He is supporter of and supported by the regime in Iran, they say. He has been convicted seven times on antisemitism charges. He is friends with the right wing, while he used to be an anti racist left wing activist. 

When the polemics started, in 2002, his progressed Sun was changing sign. That is the mark of a changing life style, a new period in life. … For more you just have to Google him.

That is one side of M'bala M'bala. He also has a lot of fans and followers (copying his gesture, the quenelle). Jupiter inconjunct Neptune, in aspect with the Sun is one of the  indications for this. People all over France (and in the USA) are making selfies with the quenelle, on spots related to Jews. 

 This is his chart, with today's transits and progressions.

URANUS-PLUTO

His natal chart is very Uranus-Pluto:

• 1.     Sun Aquarius (ruled by Uranus) with Moon in Scorpio (ruled by Pluto) for a rather radical character
• 2.     Uranus is conjunct Pluto in his natal chart

Right now there is Uranus square Pluto and Mars is adding some fuel to this aspect. This combination hits his Progressed Sun and Mercury. In the progressed chart that you see here, Mars is inconjunct Uranus-Pluto. That is a sign of crisis (see the links for more examples).

Also, the Progressed Sun is conjunct Eris (the symbol of discord). 

LINKS

1. The exact square between Sun and Neptune in his natal chart really causes confusion. People like Woody Allen seriously think that M’bala M’bala is just joking (http://www.legorafi.fr/2013/05/15/woody-allen-dieudonne-est-le-plus-grand-humoriste-juif-de-tous-les-temps/ )

Is it an act? Then who is the real M’bala M’bala? For more on Sun-Neptune and being 'double': http://astromarkt.net/sun-neptune.html

2. I checked what happened when Uranus hit Pluto in history (here: http://www.astromarkt.net/uranus-pluto-history.html ). The mid sixties, when Mao had his cultural revolution, in the time of the beat-generation.

Transit Saturn, Transit Neptune, NSA and Obama

Here is the chart (natal, transits and progressions) of Barack Obama and what do you see?

natal-t&p-october2013

Transit Saturn is square his Sun. 
Transit Saturn is in the ninth house (the house of 'abroad')
Saturn rules the 12th and is in the 12th house of secrets and the media
Sun rules the 7th house of 'them' and allies.

Perfect description of the present situation (given the circumstances). Allies like Angela Merkel are angry about the NSA spying on them. Obama said that he didn't know. Now the papers say he did ( http://www.dw.de/new-media-report-suggests-obama-knew-nsa-spied-on-merkel/a-17185662 ) Transit Saturn square Sun makes you face mistakes.

Transit Neptune inconjunct Mercury adds confusion.
Transit Neptune inconjunct his Mercury is a bad sign if you want others to believe what you say. Mistaken words, unclear statements, gossip and hiding facts work against you when Neptune comes along. Neptune is the symbol of mist, fantasy and all that is hidden and fake. It seems that those who work in or with the NSA can't stop leaking. And leakage is Neptune, the in conjunction is lack of balance and possible loss, Mercury is about KNOWING.

Is that enough to illustrate the situation? There is more if you want it. The progressed Moon conjunct cusp III, entering the 3rd house of communications, on her way to a quindecile with transit Saturn, promises worries ahead and a focus on communications. There is a lot of repairing to do in the next days and weeks.

It would be very bad if the progressed Sun didn't trine the Moon and if progressed Venus didn't square natal Moon. The moon is the symbol of popularity and Venus-Moon represents the need to be loved and all that eases feelings. Germany and the USA aren't enemies.

The NSA-revelations in a period of Saturn-Sun and Mercury-Neptune are difficult to deal with. Barack Obama is still an ally and a friend. Maybe this bad moment has a feel-good-ending, anyway? But not after a dramatic change in Angela's opinions, I guess, because transit Pluto and transit Uranus (the combination of revolutionary change, revolt and nervous stress) are making hard aspects with her Mercury.

Barack Obama and Angela Merkel ( Hamburg, 17 juli 1954 ) share an aspect (more on sharing...). Both have a difficult connection between Sun and Neptune. Being an idol and having to deal with the media isn't always easy and they both know it. They also share idealism or beliefs. Nevertheless: sharing Sun-Neptune doesn't mean everlasting sympathy. Both have a square between Sun and Neptune. This hard aspect, in the end, mirrors disappointment.

Sun and Neptune shared in aspect gives you shared ideals, dreams and faith or even a shared idol! But with hard aspects you might share the same disillusions as well or this relationship is disillusive. Cooperating could work out best in an asylum or in a non-profit organization where they can help others, and each other.

Another possible combination is between enemies and with Sun in hard aspect with Neptune shared. Ideology stand between you as was the case with the murderer of director Theo van Gogh who shared Sun square Neptune.

Neptune and the disappearance of Madeleine McCann

There is a lot of media (Neptune) attention (Sun) for the case of the disappearance of Madeleine McCann right now. It is still a mystery what happened to the little girl. Mysteries are often accompanied by transits and progressions of Neptune. In this case there is a lot of Neptune and that is confusing. Neptune is the god of the sea who loved to make it uneasy by means of storm and mist! In the mist, spotlights may be blinding. What happened to Madeleine? It must me horrific for the family not to know the answer and never to be able to end the search. Let us hope that the attention for the case provides an answer.


You know Neptune? Neptune is the symbol of all that disappears, is fake, immaterial, fantasy, mystery, dream, beliefs and media/mediums. It means that whenever Neptune appears, there is a mist. It is like watching a movie or television: you sort of imagine yourself to be part of the play, but you are not. With Neptune, you can never be sure. Rumors: it is one of the words in the astrological vocabulary under the N of Neptune! So is gossip and bad press. Is there anything Nice about Neptune? Not much, except for romance, sweet dreams and illusions or visions that help create art. That is why Neptune is part of the astrological pattern of artistic talent that I found in so many charts of artists (see Art&Astrology). Neptune is not fit for daily life and sometimes unreal. What you see may not be what you get. When dreams turn into nightmares, a tricky Neptune may be confusing those around you and... you.

Neptune is abundantly present in the charts of Maddie and her father. Her mother's day of birth is not known. Perhaps there is a lot of Neptune in her chart, natal, transits and progressions, too. As you may see in the links, there are more of such cases with Neptune and/or intense synastry. The lives of parents, family members, partners, friends and those involved in the case are of course changed or influenced by such a case and media circus. This shows in the related aspects.

See how many times Neptune pops up:


A. Maddie McCann (born May 12, 2003 in Leicester, time unknown; disappearance May 3, 2007)
There is at least 4 times Neptune. See the links below and you will find a 5th.

1. Now: transit Neptune square Progressed Sun
2. Then: transit Neptune square Natal Sun
3. Her Neptune is trine her father's natal Sun

B.  Father (born June 5, 1968 in Glasgow, Scotland at 7:45 a.m.)
1. His Sun is quatronovile Neptune in the natal chart
2. When his daughter vanished, he had transit Neptune inconjunct Progressed Sun
3. Right now his Progressed Ascendant is square natal Neptune

C. Synastry
Her Pluto is opposition his Sun.
Her Neptune is trine his Sun.
Her Progressed Sun was opposition his natal Neptune in 2007(when she disappeared)

WHY SO MANY NEPTUNE?
There are a number of transits and progressions that relate people in a case (see the link and the quotes). When Madeleine McCann vanished with transit Neptune square Sun, her father had transit Neptune inconjunct Progressed Sun. Her progressed Sun was opposition his Neptune.

Unclarity and suspicion is part of the deal when Neptune is around. HER disappearance (Neptune) turned him into a suspect (Neptune). Right now there is media(Neptune)attention(Sun) for Madeleine again. Progressed Ascendant of Gerry McCann is square Neptune. There is a negative tendency coming with Neptune and sometimes Neptune means a bad press.

Neptune: you can see it coming. But what is it? And when will we know?

Here are some of the charts:

The pictures are clearer when you click for the larger picture...

Today the Portugese police closed the case of the missing Madeleine McCann. I don't know the time of birth of Maddy McCann, so this chart is for 12 noon on the day that she was born. In that chart Neptune was retrograding, but...Neptune started going direct after the year that she vanished. In 2007 Neptune was stationary. Right now, in this year, Neptune returned to the place of birth. 
Neptune symbolises among others: mist, mysteries and ...giving up.

http://astropost.blogspot.nl/2007/10/did-robert-murat-do-it.html
No, he didn't, even though he had rather suspicious aspects/synastry aspects (well, he WAS a suspect).  They said that DNA of Madeleine was found in his house (which doesn't seem to be true after  all). He has been compensated by the tabloids for the accusations and is not a suspect any more now. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-459316/Madeleine-Is-Robert-Murat-suspect-scapegoat.html

One day a so called killer shows up: John Mark Karr (11th December 1964 in Hamilton), a man with Mars partile conjunct Pluto. He and the victim share the aspect of Mars and Pluto. His Uranus is inconjunct her Moon (zero orb). His Venus trines hers. His Mars trines hers. He could have done it and so he was arrested. John Mark Karr has the same connection between Sun, Mars and Uranus as John Ramsey. But...his DNA does not match and though the man is a pedophile, he did not seem to be the murderer and was released on October 5, 2006. Karr was just obsessed by Jonbenet... 

On the final day of her life Jonbenet had an appropiate transit of Neptune inconjunct the MC. She was missing for a few hours and her death has remained a mystery. She is sharing the Neptune-MC aspect with her father, that day. 

The baby of Lindy Chamberlain (born March 4, 1948) is supposed to have been killed by a dingo and taken away on August 17, 1980. But nobody at the time believed what the mother told them (dingo's were supposed to be nice doggies). The press was against her. In her birth chart the Sun is inconjunct Neptune. 

http://astropost.blogspot.nl/2010/12/about-innocence-in-chart-of-patrick.html
When he confessed a murder that he never committed, a man had transit Neptune square Sun (being seen in a negative light). In the natal chart Mercury is in conflict with Neptune.

Here is the link to a documentary about a Swedish couple falsely accused of sexual exploitation of their little girls: http://www.idfa.nl/industry/tags/project.aspx?id=2538129f-e7f2-4231-aa60-8d8215175d3a
