Why did Justin Trudeau choose October 17 for the start of legalized recreational cannabis? Could it in recognition of Canadian singer/song writer Gord Downie, (Tragically Hip Front Man, activist), who died on this date one year ago from Glioblastoma, (brain cancer). I think this is Trudeau’s nod to Gord Downie for his work in bringing attention to truth and reconciliation for the indigenous peoples of Canada. The same year that Downie was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour he released Secret Path, an album about Chanie Wenjack, a 12-year-old Ojibwa boy who died trying to walk home after escaping a…

Brett Kavanaugh, Senate Vote September 28 2018

Transiting Pluto is conjunct Brett’s natal Juno which is trine his natal Jupiter in…

Aretha Franklin passed away early August 16, 2018 in Detroit, Michigan. A solar eclipse will often bring news of a transition of note. Here’s the Aug 11, 2018 partial solar eclipse, super new moon in Leo eclipse around Aretha Franklin’s chart. It opposes Venus in her 4th house.

Mercury retrograde has just crossed her MC and is into the 9th (also an indication for the…

Total Lunar Eclipse July 27 2018
Eclipses, their general influence: A solar eclipse is a more dynamic new moon; A lunar eclipse is a more dynamic full moon. Both hold elements of surprise, added excitement, heightened stress, drama, and unpredictability. Both act as acceleration catalysts.

Stephen Paddock, Las Vegas Massacre
See below charts for brief astrology details Who was he? (from msn.com) He was a nocturnal creature who gambled all night and slept all day. He took Valium at times for anxiousness, and had the doctor who prescribed it to him on retainer. He wagered up to a million dollars a night, but wandered around glitzy Las Vegas casinos in sweatpants and flip-flops, and carried his own drink into the high rollers’ area because he didn’t want to tip the waitresses too much. This was Stephen Paddock as he saw himself four years before he opened fire on a…
