Lunation 25 August 2014 and Mars Saturn conjunction.


The New Moon of 25 August 2014 @ 2:12pmBST comes just a mere five hours before the exact conjunction of Mars and Saturn. In the UK 1801 chart the New Moon appears in the 11th house of diplomacy and the government’s resources while the Mars Saturn conjunction appears in the 2nd house of the National wealth.

A notable observation of this lunation is that the New Moon (in Virgo) is not quite midpoint but certainly sits between the UKs secondary Saturn (25Leo09) and secondary Mars (6Virgo18) while the transiting Mars Saturn conjunction (17Scorpio40) is conjunct natal Neptune (Secondary Neptune has traveled only a few degrees since 1801 going direct and then retrograde).

The current world stage is beset with war, primarily within the Middle East but in no way contained there. Russia, America and China are in some way involved, particularly where the desire to protect oil and gas is concerned. The overall flavour of the wars appears to be that of civil, ethnic and religious groupings. Countries are not some much fighting other countries as they are imploding on themselves. What is unfortunate is that nations whose export includes the sale of arms are quite happy to feed these wars for the profit they make in sales; and this includes the UK.

Now there’s one thing selling arms to those who wage war but quite another to start spending the country’s money to get involved in war. The US has often used the UK as a support for it’s actions. Currently, as the civil conflict in Iraq starts to escalate and the conflict in Israel / Palestine builds in intensity, more pressure is applied to contain the disruption of the flow of oil to the Western world. For the UK there is not only the concern about the uncertainty of oil but for Westminster there is the uncertainty over its own oil if Scotland votes for independence in September. So oil (and gas) for the UK is very much on the agenda.

To make matters worse for the UK government, there is a large volume of gas destined for UK shores coming via the gas pip lines from Russia. So the Ukraine conflict is also worrying. And to add to the misery, the majority of the UK public are against the government’s desire to being fracking.

The UK is a small island, so there is a likelihood that any fracking operation would need to drill horizontally under people’s homes. Under current legislation this cannot be done, which is way in August there is a consultation underway to change the trespass laws that would remove this obstacle. Campaigners against fracking have mounted a strong resistance, particularly at the sites where test drilling has taken place. The UK population do not want fracking at all. It is the sort of clash between people and government that could case civil conflict.

The UK government has recently purchased three water cannons to use against the UK population if they protest too loudly or make too much noise against government policy. Freedom of speech appears to be illusional at best.

Transiting Pluto still sits close enough to the world axis that the Uranus Pluto square is in operation against world leaders. Fundamental reform is the only thing that will make progress but the powers that be would rather create war than make the changes. At this point with the Mar Saturn conjunction the potential to escalate conflict within the UK is strong. One should point out that the UK Neptune is historically steeped in fraud and corruption, so the potential by the people to wage war on that corruption is equally strong.

Jupiter sits in the 10th house at 8Leo48, exuding confidence and promises of ‘getting the job done’ but the level of hubris will get worse, as within 5 days Jupiter crosses to the 11th house, conjunct the UKs secondary Sun and joins the madness of the world stage in the insane belief that involving themselves more in conflict is in some way going to solve it; not even thinking about trying to solve the reasons it started.

The only thing that the general population can do is to be aware that the UK government are not acting in the best interests of the people; they will be acting to maintain the UK’s influence on the world stage. Given how the world stage looks, one wonders why anyone would want to be a part of it other than to claw as much fiat currency to it’s shores as it can (plus make a fortune from selling perpetual war). So the people are lost in the equation, which is why fundamental reform, both political and financial is crucial by 2020. The stakes could not be higher. The people of the UK must become more politically aware of what is going on behind the main stream media news or perish through ignorance.

The financial stability of the world is about to disintegrate. It is more of a case of when rather than if. The potential for stock market crashes have been around for almost a year but every time the banks push money into the system ‘quantitative easing’ it holds the inevitable off for a little while longer.




In the UK the debt bubble bursting is under threat from an aggressive booming house price bonanza. London is seeing double digit house price increases as investors move away from high risk stock market shares and into property. Wages on the other hand are at their lowest ever in terms of keeping up with the economy. The gap between rich and poor has never been more apparent. The Bank of England sees the housing bubble as a threat and it may force them to raise interest rates.

But even a quarter per cent interest rate hike will place millions of mortgage payers into the threat of defaulting on their payments. The Bank of England tells us that we could see an interest rate increase as early as November.

However, if the stock market crashes in October then all plans made to date would have to be hastily revised. Some astrologers have been aware that August 2015 starts the real downward spiral (once again probably notable October 2015) but there is plenty of room for drama between now and then as governments pretend that the economy os growing while they continue to hold of debt by adding yet more debt.

The Virgo lunation is therefore going to be a month of frustration, with analysts trying to spin their pet theory into a fitting explanation that is not an economic crash. The government will try to convince us that more war is good for the world. We the people may find no respite in our lunatic leader’s rhetoric. And perhaps the only way we may become the change we want to see is to be more vocal about what we want our next government to be.

With transiting Mars and Saturn on natal Neptune in the UK 1801 chart, there may well be the possibility that we could see ebola come to our shores. Globally the ebola outbreak is set to reach epidemic proportions this month. Mars and Saturn is no stranger to death in whatever form it chooses to take.

Barbault (Doolard) and The Future


Barbault, Doolard and The Future

At the time of writing this article it is August of 2014. The UK economy, we are told, is on the up. Employment is at its highest rate ever. We should ‘keep calm and carry on’. The Scottish referendum is just over a month away with polls indicating that there is unlikely to be an independent Scotland any time soon. House prices are positively booming, especially in London and the South East of England.

Those who have followed my Barbault series will know that all this positive talk about the improving economy is predicted to be a sham; not just by me but by other mundane astrologers who are attuned to the cyclic index I have been writing about. As one person put it recently on the social media network, the economic upturn is only improving for the 1%. All evidence globally suggests there is truth in this observation.

The year 2015 marks the beginning of a big downward turn in the lives of ordinary people. Yet it is not the reason for this most important of global events but war that dominates the main stream media. Meanwhile the monetary machine works almost invisibly in the background to set up a global financial reset that will change the world fundamentally so much more than all the wars (real or manufactured) put together.

In short, the 99% are being caught with their proverbial trousers down because of distraction, obfuscation and media omission. But some of us have noticed and we implore those with a mind to heed the warning that there is a need to see beyond what the corporations who own main stream media want us to think.

Recently the Russian President Putin signed a massive 30 year gas deal with China. This is a tremendously important move because the deal is made without the use of the petrodollar. What the world is not being shown is the intentional disappearance of the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency and the beginning of a new world order with China and Russia at the vanguard. Don’t be fooled into thinking that this is all speculation; this is a done deal that is already happening in line with the reforms predicted by the seven hits of Uranus square Pluto and the Grand Cardinal Cross of April 2014. How the reforms will affect all of us can bee witnessed in Barbault’s cyclic index.

pastedGraphic.pdf




In 2009 I noticed that the Barbault cyclic index plummeted for the year, just after the Sub Prime Mortgage crash that plunged the world into debt and made many banks insolvent. For those not familiar with the method, please see my article ‘The Barbault Scale’. What I didn’t know at the time was that Saturn’s aspects plunged collectively into nasty negative territory from 2007 but most particularly from the 2009 year I pointed out, which is when Doolard’s Saturn wave turned into minus (I was invited to peruse Doolard’s method much later but I have since married the two methods with some rather significant results).

However, the Uranus wave and the Jupiter wave from 2008 were both positive (the Jupiter wave went negative in 2009), which made me consider how Doolard’s wave groupings might behave on the world stage. These are my thoughts...

The Uranus wave contains all the outer planets, known as the transpersonal planets. The collective unconscious and the will of the world is what creates the stage on which we perform the events of life. This wave was negative in its outlook until 1965, around the time of the Uranus Pluto conjunction that is making square as we speak for seven hits. History will confirm that 1965 was a time when the people - the collective - began to reject the world order and make their own stamp on how we live and behave. The easiest legacy to observe is how much the music changed, only to be seized on by corporate greed. Yet the Uranus Pluto cycle is not short (111 and 143 years according to Pluto’s elliptical position) and the reasons that the 99% broke away from the established orders in 1965 have raised it’s revolutionary head again as the Uranus Pluto square burst onto the scene.

The Uranus wave remains in positive territory until 2046 until the Uranus Pluto opposition challenges everything the will come to pass between now and then. Will we, as a people agree that the right reforms were made back in  2014 - 2020?

The Saturn wave, it would seem, relates to the way in which the world is structured. The world order is what went badly wrong in 2007 (the reported beginning of the sub-prime mortgage fiasco).

But Doolard’s method adds the Saturn cycles onto the Uranus wave to create the Saturn wave.  One presumes that the Saturn structure can only be assessed upon the stage on which it is set. So the Saturn wave runs minus from 2009 to 2018, which I believe gives a fairly good indication of how long global austerity measures will be enforced.

pastedGraphic_1.pdf



Jupiter and Saturn are seen astrologically as the societal planets, hence they are read in context with each other; for example there is law (Jupiter) and order (Saturn) or church (Jupiter) and state (Saturn), boom (Jupiter) and bust (Saturn). It therefore makes sense that if Doolard adds the Uranus wave to Saturn that Jupiter’s cycles are added to both waves to create a sum total. This sum total is where Barbault (and before him Gouchon) began the journey of assessing planetary cycles; Doolard separated the planetary influence of the transpersonal, the maintaining and the growing.

Jupiter pertains to our belief systems, be it religion, law or money. Now if you look at the Jupiter wave purely in monetary terms, you will see how money appears to be at its most scarce when the Jupiter wave begins to hit high negative number levels. 

The Wall Street Crash, for all it’s hype, did not really hit the collective until a year after the event. All three of Doolard’s waves were in minus territory but the depth of minus numbers in Barbaults method indicated the severity of the global impact.

We can see from the chart above that 1929 and 1930 were not particularly notable as far as Barbault’s total is concerned (-84 and +86 respectively). But in 1931, Barbault’s cycle took a plunge to -116 and we started to see some severely deep numbers. Not surprisingly, these numbers grew ever deeper as we got to the event of World War II

The same applies, I believe, when considering the global involvement in war. Barbault’s theory of extremes in numbers, in my opinion, modifies Doolard’s notion that mega wars appear when all three waves are minus. The depthof the Barbault’s minus figure (which is the same as Doolard’s Jupiter wave) and the number of years that minus figure persists will greatly enhance the likelihood that a mega war takes place.

Virtually all astrologers missed WWII, which is what set Barbault off on a quest to discover why? Had astrologers been looking at cyclic indexes back then, I think you will agree from the next chart that the signs were there.

Was it just a coincidence that Barbault’s very deep minus figures coincided with the event of a mega war? Doolard thought not and went on to investigate and publish ‘Waves Of War with some very comprehensive statistics that leaves no one in doubt how compelling the evidence is.

So the triple minus waves of Doolard and the deep minus figures of Barbault  indicate the possibilities of mega wars (wars where people die in the millions) has been posited. The cycles do not concern themselves with localised wars like the one in Syria today because it does not have a large financial and emotional impact on the collective. Many in the Western World are naturally incensed by growing conflict in the 2010s and we have sent out soldiers to die for oil and political control. We mourn the loss of so many thousands of lives but they are not millions of lives. Therefore the cyclic index implies a sense of proportionality to the collective. Doolard noted that wars occur all the time but the cyclic indexes are only concern with global events.

This brings us to an anomaly that is about to be played out from 2015 to 2020. Theodore White and WIlliam Stickevers have written much on the subject of the Grand Cardinal Cross and the coming mutable years of 2015 - 2017, so I will not repeat what is already available. But it is worth seeing what is coming during this period of time according to the cyclic index.

The Uranus wave is in positive territory, indicating a world stage that people believe they have a hand in reforming. These beliefs are evident in the growing social movements around that Western World as much as the fundamentalist insurgencies within the Middle East. The same thrust is in play albeit from different perspectives.

According to Doolard’s notion of mega wars occurring in triple minus years, the Uranus wave rules out the possibility. So the first major prediction here is that World War III will not be happening during this decade.

The Saturn wave is in negative territory but particularly so for the Saturn Uranus cycle. This indicates Reform (Uranus) of structure (Saturn), which has been a main theme now since the sub prime mortgage event. It has taken this long to get some of the reforms moving but as many of you will know there are some solutions that the people are dead against, like fracking, GMO food, austerity measures etc. But we have not seen the worst of it yet.

The Jupiter wave (Barbault’s original cycle) is what hits you in the eye. From 2016 there is a massive drop, perhaps a massive drop in money. But what we can be certain about is that from 2016 to 2020 there will be an unhappiness that will be spoken of more so than the Wall Street Crash or the Great Depression of the 1930s. Belief systems and ideologies will be among those destined to perish in the catharsis that all must endure before the next new world order is established. This is why I believe that the world in 2020 will have changed profoundly from what we experience as I write this article today.

And my next prediction is that whatever the next new world order looks like, we will have to fight hard to make sure the 99% have a voice. Make no mistake - our biggest enemy is apathy, which is partly what got us into this mess in the first place.

Apparently we should have a relatively good time from 2025; possibly even a renaissance. Bigger and better reforms are likely to come out of what was started in 2020. The likelihood of greater robotic advances may well change the working world but money looks set to be a continuing issue no matter who becomes the world reserve currency. Our advances will be hard fought for and the corporate world will fight real advancement every inch of the way.

So we will know by 2020 how much of Barbault and Doolard’s cyclic index reveals useable information. The index, if read correctly predicts no mega war for 2016 -2020, which leaves me with one final prediction to make; the question about when the next mega war is likely to be?

According to both Barbault and Doolard, the energies that need to be present to be able to wage the insanity of a mega war is next present in the year 2080. This is the first year from today that has both minus waves for all three of Doolard’s method and also a deep minus total for Barbault lasting at least three years inside Doolard’s conditions.

I offer this prediction not because i believe that such an event is inevitable but in the hope that world leaders are forewarned long in advance, so that they may see the warning signs and make something positive happen instead. This period of possible mega war time is at the point of a Saturn Pluto end of cycle where restructuring is indicated by the Universe as necessary. With a Saturn Uranus conjunction also occurring there is a danger of ultra conservative thinking that may relate to fundamentalist or extremist ideology trying to force the round world into a square hole or society trying to break free from oppressive regimes. 

A further opportunity for WWIII (or even WWIV) is 2101 to 2103.

When you look at the closing cycle of Uranus Pluto and also the sudden drop from great plus figures to great minus (an incredible swing of 930 points), the notion of a nuclear conflict is not unreasonable. So whatever advances we think we could make over the next 100 years, it seems likely that we will still have the potential for mutual destruction.

On a positive note, it should be emphasised that the energies we see here can be used for good if we did but learn how to respond to them. War is not the inevitable consequence of getting out of financial difficulties. Hopefully we can demonstrate this over the 2015 - 2020 depression and learn how to control corporate and state greed and irresponsible behaviour.

So there is evidence that using Barbault and Doolard’s methods together that one might better understand the zeitgeist when standing still in one snapshot moment - like today. But it is also a great tool to look ahead at what energies and trends could influence events and the ideological aspirations of people from all walks of life. I hope others will pick up on my work and develop it further. I also hope that astrologers will see the value of working in the field of mundane.

For me this is a concluding moment in my journey with Barbault. I would say it has taken me this long to understand how to employ the method in an effective way (I discover more every time I use it) but it has also given me a terrific template upon which to formulate a way to glimpse into the future, hopefully for the benefit of all.
