I write a monthly post based on planetary or zodiacal principles. These are the ones tagged ‘The monthly planet’. Using my astrological eyes and ears, I try to make sense of the world. This blog also contains my thoughts and rants on random topics and these are tagged ‘Not the monthly planet’. They are usually my comments on news items. …
New Zealand – a time to choose
Virgo 2023 Back in 2017, I wrote a post about the then upcoming NZ elections. At that time Jacindamania had taken hold, as Jacinda Ardern had just been elected as leader of the Labour Party. She was up against Bill English of the National Party who had been in power for 9 years. I was excited with this new turn …
Rupert Murdoch has a thing for women age 66!
August 2023 This headline about Rupert Murdoch having a thing about women age 66 made me smile.

Mercury โ the original nonbinary?
Gemini 2023 Usually I try to post each month when the Sun is in the sign of the blog post title. Since I am writing now in Cancer time, clearly Gemini didn’t make the deadline!

King Charles III – finally!
Taurus 2023 He’s waited all his life for this moment and despite many astrologers saying he would never be king, he is! It’s Taurus time and he is following on from his mother – a Taurus.
