News Astrology and Mundane Events

Facts from yesterday's Court hearing:
New York Times:


The details
In court yesterday, Carey Dunne, a senior member of the district attorney’s office, described the Trump Organization’s behavior as “a sweeping and audacious illegal payments scheme.” The indictment argues that the company gave Weisselberg $1.7 million in perks that it recorded as compensation in an internal spreadsheet but kept off its books to avoid taxes. Weisselberg also failed to mention some of the payments in his own tax filings. (Here is a more detailed Times explainer of the charges.)

Weisselberg pleaded not guilty, and his lawyers said he would fight the charges. Lawyers for the Trump Organization released a statement calling the charges politically motivated: “This case signals that it is now open season for local prosecutors to target federal political opponents and adversaries.”





Among the charges in the indictment:

The Trump Organization spent almost $1.2 million in untaxed income to allow Weisselberg and his wife to live in an apartment on the Hudson River. While living there, Weisselberg also concealed the fact that he was a New York City resident, allowing him to evade city taxes.
The company paid for two of Weisselberg’s relatives to attend Columbia Prep, a private school in Manhattan, at a cost of $359,000. Trump personally signed some of the checks.


The company illegally paid for two Mercedes-Benzes for Weisselberg and his wife, as well as beds, TVs and carpeting installation for his and his children’s homes.
The company gave — and hid — cash to Weisselberg that he used as holiday tips.
For more: The charges may hurt Trump’s finances. Indictments can jeopardize relationships with banks, and Trump has large outstanding loan

The Trump organization high priced defense Lawyer said:

similar matters are typically handled in civil court.

Not true as just noted, back in 1989, Leona Helmsley, dubbed "the Queen of Mean" was tried and convicted for Income Tax Evasion schemes, not too unlike the Trump Corp was.. They were both Billionaires, and they both bragged, and they both were Luxury Hoteliers who did their own P.R. commercials in New York. Lots of similiarites between them, but Donald at that time commented, "Leona is a disgrace to humanity", his typical description of many. Her hotels were a rival to his for the same high priced clientele.


Leona served a 4 year prison sentence, and not in a white collar prison either.


She also received 150 Hrs of Community Service for her probation period, which she tried to get a maid to do it for her but was caught.


"Alan Futerfas said, arguing that similar matters are typically handled in civil court." So NO, this statement is not true, and Al Capone the mobster was likewise, convicted and sent to prison for Income Tax evasion.

Thank you. Coming from you, I"m sure that's a complement.

We're still recovering from a heatwave in British Columbia that started in earnest on 26 June 2021. Ambulance system completely broken, 486 dead by the last bulletin from the coroner's office, and the village of Lytton burned to the ground on Monday night - after reaching a temp of 122 F, which is higher than the record for Las Vegas, much less Canada.


My money is on Saturn-Mars.

+++The temperature beat that of Phoenix Arizona too. Probably Palm Springs as well. Shocking (climate changes) are here to stay.
Mars is now 13° Leo (a fire sign)
Saturn is now 12°(opposite sign) Aquarius, Air sign (blowing wind hot air) you are probably correct in that assumption!

Very interesting: I'd like to find an incorporation date -



Name origin

Novelist Bulwer-Lytton was a friend and contemporary of Charles Dickens and was one of the pioneers of the historical novel, exemplified by his most popular work, The Last Days of Pompeii. He is best remembered today for the opening line to the novel Paul Clifford, which begins "It was a dark and stormy night..." and is considered by some to be the worst opening sentence in the English language.[7] However, Bulwer-Lytton is also responsible for well-known sayings such as "The pen is mightier than the sword" from his play Richelieu.



30 June 2021, fire swept through the valley in which Lytton is located, destroying much of the village.







We do however, have Mr. Lytton's date of birth who may have been instrumental in the founding of this area?



https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lytton,_British_Columbia


Edward George Earle Lytton Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton, PC (25 May 1803 – 18 January 1873) was an English writer and politician. He served as a Whig member of Parliament from 1831 to 1841 and a Conservative from 1851 to 1866. He was Secretary of State for the Colonies from June 1858 to June 1859, choosing Richard Clement Moody as founder of British Columbia. He declined the Crown of Greece in 1862 after King Otto abdicated


The War Office chose Richard Clement Moody, and Lord Lytton, who described Moody as his "distinguished friend",[26] accepted the nomination in view of Moody's military record, his success as Governor of the Falkland Islands, and the distinguished record of his father, Colonel Thomas Moody, Knight at the Colonial Office.[27] Moody was charged to establish British order and transform the newly established Colony of British Columbia (1858–66) into the British Empire's "bulwark in the farthest west"[28] and "found a second England on the shores of the Pacific."

In 1858 (but what month ??)


The former HBC Fort Dallas at Camchin, the confluence of the Thompson and Fraser Rivers, was renamed in his honour by Governor Sir James Douglas in 1858 as Lytton, British Columbia.

That Mars in the fixed fire sign Leo is making things HOT

Looking around for updates on the Georgia Fulton County Grand Juries who are looking into Trump's interference in the Elections in their Sate.




We've heard little about it lately, which got my curiosity up:


Fani Willis is the Prosecutor for Fulton County:

dob 10/27/71



https://younolly.com/fani-willis-bi...h-salary-family-daughters-education-attorney/

It appears from all I can tell is that the holdup is due to getting subpoenas out especially for witnesses such as the office of Brad Ruffensperger and his staff as they are not now cooperating with finding the truth with the Grand Jury.

His Neptune is conjunct her Pluto! Does Pluto win out over Neptune?

https://www.valuewalk.com/georgia-criminal-investigation-trump-heats-up/
Note: Fani on the inner circle while the donald is on the outer: Her natal Jupiter (the law as a prosecutor) and her Neptune (perhaps uncovering lies and distortions in her life) are conjunct the donald's BML & Veritas (truth)



Her job, if the Grand Juries subpeona enough witnesses and documents will lead to a confrontational about the truth with djt.

6.2 Earthquake - Nevada- California border



July 8, 2021:



Depth9 kmDistances

• 2.0 km (1.2 mi) WNW of Walker, California
• 45.8 km (28.4 mi) SSE of Gardnerville Ranchos, Nevada
• 62.2 km (38.6 mi) SE of South Lake Tahoe, California
• 74.9 km (46.4 mi) SSE of Carson City, Nevada
• 107.3 km (66.6 mi) SSE of Truckee, California

Appears now to have been downgraded to 5.9 - still quite strong:


July 8th: 3:54PM Sacramento reporting:

One earthquake and several aftershocks could be felt across Northern California on Thursday afternoon. The US Geological Survey reports that a 5.9-magnitude earthquake happened on the eastern side of the Sierra in California, 19 miles SSW of Smith Valley, Nevada.
There were also more than a dozen aftershocks ranging from 3.1 up to 4.2, which were near the towns of Walker, Markleeville, Dardanelle, and Coleville. They all happened just within minutes of each other.
Rumblings could be felt in and around the Sacramento region, including West Sacramento, Stockton, Elk Grove, and in parts of the Bay Area, including San Francisco.


https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/6...rnia-nevada-border/ar-AALWsPP?ocid=uxbndlbing


and another time:
The earthquake struck at 3.49pm local time PHOTOS _
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jul/08/california-earthquake-nevada-border-walker

For such a large earthquake, heard and felt by many locations from Sacramento to San Francisco, to the Nevada Lake Tahoe area - I think the P.O.F. in the 12th house (called the Part of Misfortune) when there, is fortunate in that there were no reports of any casualties, (POF also trines Jupiter and the Moon!


Moon is often symbolically involved in EArthquake charts, as is Mars & Uranus we see here:

Richard Branson makes history books for 1st Billionaire citizen into Space:

Jul. 11, 2021 Watch live: Richard Branson and Virgin Galactic crew complete suborbital space flight

Richard Branson, along with five other Virgin Galactic employees - two pilots and three others who are testing parts of the in-cabin experience - launched to suborbital space on the company's first flight with a full crew aboard. The carrier aircraft with the spaceship attached to its belly took off around 7:40 a.m. Pacific time Sunday from a New Mexico spaceport near the city of Truth or Consequences.

The spaceship detached from the carrier aircraft about 50 minutes after launch, once it reached an altitude of about 45,000 feet and a designated release point in the airspace. The ship then rocketed itself to suborbital space.


Branson had Transiting Jupiter (rx) trine his Uranus in the 11th, sextile the MC (public place) and trine the 4th IC cusp (foundation) with an exact 180 deg. opposition to his natal Moon - seems rather fated

Leomoon, what's the significance of the exact opposition to the Natal Moon? That doesn't sound good.

Natally, Branson was born with Jupiter opposing his Moon, so I guess he's having a Jupiter Return.

Normally,I'd check the person's Jupiter or other planets to see how they do for them.
In his case, Jupiter is exalted in Pisces. I think it's more a help then a hindrance.




Seems to have done okay for himself thus far.

Introverted extrovert!

Looking at the billionaires:

Elon Musk!
Bill Gates!
Jeff Bezos!
Richard WHO???

He might be into astrology. Or, it was unconscious that he calls it the Virgin Group, with his Natal-chart Moon and Saturn in the Sign of Virgo.

Do you think he may have used Electional to time the mission?

His real Jupiter Return won't be until next January. It didn't reach his Jupiter's Natal degree this time around, before the Big Guy retros back into Aquarius.

Moving from "the Famed" into "the Infamous" category?



I'm somewhat concerned about the mental health of a lawyer from Georgia, Lin-Wood who the Georgia State Barr is looking into because of his behavior pattern lately concerning everything trumpian.


He appears to have a biography that is disconcerting for good mental health:


More then this, since we do Astrology here, is his natal chart - also disconcerting:

Biography

Early years

Lin Wood was raised in Georgia after moving to Macon, Georgia, at age 3. Wood has stated in news accounts that his family struggled financially with frequent episodes of domestic abuse involving his parents. He has one sibling, Diane Wood Stern born February 1951 and a half sister, Linda Martin born in 1946. After a school dance, the then 16-year-old Wood returned home to find his father had beaten his mother to death. L. Lin Wood Sr. pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter, a charge reduced from first-degree murder. He served a little over two years in prison. Wood has stated that it was this experience that solidified his earlier decision to become a lawyer.


https://divorceschoices.blogspot.com/2017/05/l-lin-wood-divorce.html


Up until the time he represented the Ramseys in the famous murder case, he seemed more then capable of being on the top of his lawyer(ing) game.
Its only in the recent trumpian engagement past, that he appears to have lost all reality in his little world.


He now spends a lot of his time, scandalizing others (Supreme Court Justices, 2 retired Democratic Presidents and their wives, on and on and on) and goes far more the distance in doing so then trump ever did. (legally speaking)


What transits or progressions would give us the clues we need to see what in the heck is wrong with this man now?

He caught a bad case of TDS! I wonder if there are astrological markers for who's susceptible and who's immune.

Checking the natal chart of Lin Woods - the attorney from Georgia, who was once famous in his multi-million dollar block=buster settlements for people such as the Richard Jewell case, the Ramsey murder case, on and on....


He was born with his natal Neptune 21 Libra square Uranus 18 Cancer and Quincunx (often a medical problem), his natal Jupiter (rx) 18 Taurus.
In addition, (as if thats not enough):


His Mercury & his Moon both Scorpio, (although we don't have the exact tob)
and oppose his seriously ill Jupiter (rx) ....perhaps triggered for some time now.
