The year 2020 was always the target year, both politically and astrologically. The Jupiter-Saturn conjunction in Dec. 2020 highlights an astrological target year, and with it many non-astrological factors that can also be described by the planets. When the JU-SA conjunctions started to dominate in sidereal EARTH signs, from Sept. 9, 1921, the shift began from the previous FIRE period that had featured the power of both religion and the nation-state. In the EARTH period (1921-2199), businesses, corporate conglomerates, industrialists and bankers would gain increasing power over nations and their policies. Continue reading

Coronavirus – War Against “the Invisible Enemy”
By Edith Hathaway © 2020
The last time we fought “the Invisible Enemy” – in real and also astrological terms – was in Sept. 2001, with the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City and elsewhere. This time a public health crisis is affecting almost all nations in the world, most of which are currently on lockdown. Again as in 2001, international trade and travel are radically disrupted, this time to an unprecedented degree, at least from mid-March 2020 onward. Most schools, universities, and businesses were ordered to close through April 30th at a minimum. Other businesses require staff to work from home. Continue reading
Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Brexit – Finally!
“My chances of being PM are about as good as the chances of finding Elvis on Mars, or my being reincarnated as an olive.” Boris Johnson (age 40), The Independent, 2004.
And yet on July 24, 2019 Boris Johnson did become U.K. Prime Minister (at age 55), with his mandate assured in a nationwide election five months later. Vedic astrology could have told us that Johnson would be greatly elevated in the public sphere within a few months before or after Sept. 9, 2016. This date marked the start of his 16-year Mercury Dasha (a planetary period) and a phenomenally successful period in his life. Continue reading
Jupiter-Saturn 2020: The Tipping Point
By Edith Hathaway © 2019
Many arenas of life are sweeping to a tipping point in Dec. 2020. As we approach this tipping point, the excesses or weaknesses of any ideology become more obvious, as if they are ready to either explode or break. Though many arenas are in play, among the most prominent is the battle between Nationalism and Globalism, with Nationalism and issues of national sovereignty generally supported by the Right, and Globalism and One World Government generally supported by the Left. Continue reading
December 2019: Solar Eclipse & a Planetary Conclave in Sagittarius
By Edith Hathaway © 2019
December 2019 brings some extra acceleration and intensity due to eclipses on Dec. 26, 2019 and Jan. 10, 2020. They occur at 9:59 Sagittarius and 25:52 Gemini, respectively. (All planetary positions are sidereal zodiac/Lahiri ayanamsha.) In addition, we have a Sagittarian focus for nearly eight weeks. This includes the entire month of Dec. 2019 and from Nov. 21, 2019 to Jan. 12, 2020. Continue reading
Immigration – the Defining Issue of the 2020 U.S. Election. Part 1
Part 1: Immigration – Left and Right
By Edith Hathaway © 2019
“It’s a Republic, if you can keep it.” Benjamin Franklin, 1789
Jupiter is the planet of expansion, abundance, law, justice and religion, while Saturn is the planet of constriction, discipline, limits, borders and rules – especially for marriage, families, and societies. Saturn is more concerned with tradition, material security and safety. In the planetary hierarchy, the teaching is that rules are needed in the midst of expansion and prosperity. Continue reading
Immigration – the Defining Issue of the 2020 U.S. Election. Part 2
PART 2: WHO WINS THE IMMIGRATION BATTLE?
By Edith Hathaway © 2019
WHY GLOBALISM MAY FAIL IN THE EARTH PERIOD FROM 2020
The next U.S. Presidential Election will hinge on who wins the battle between Globalism and Nationalism. It has now become a very heated battle, especially in the U.S., where President Trump is leading the fight for Nationalists, and the Globalists are mostly Democrats who are firmly supported by the United Nations.

Spies, Propaganda, Censorship & the Origins of the Trump-Russia Collusion Investigation
By Edith Hathaway © 2019
This is not breaking news. It has been out there in independent media for several years, but you may not have heard it. The conspiracy against Donald Trump began from at least 2015 onward and used the combined powers of the DOJ (U.S. Dept. of Justice), the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation), the NSA (National Security Agency), and the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) to run a counterintelligence operation against a presidential candidate, also using foreign intelligence agencies. Their allies were the leftist mainstream media, also known as the DNC (Democratic National Committee) Media Complex. But even earlier, from 2012 onward, the Obama administration spied on its political opponents through illegal access to the NSA data base. Continue reading
Jussie Smollett – Act 2
By Edith Hathaway ©2019
On Tues. March 26, 2019 all criminal charges against the actor Jussie Smollett were suddenly and mysteriously dropped and the case sealed by Cook County Attorney General Kim Foxx. This was for his alleged hate crime hoax on Jan. 29, 2019. Though she had recused herself in the case on Feb. 19, 2019, Foxx now says she had not really done so. The sequence is unprecedented due to the prior Grand Jury indictment of Jussie Smollett with 16 felony counts of disorderly conduct for making a false police report. The indictment was based on only a portion of the large body of evidence presented by the Chicago Police Department. Continue reading
Jussie Smollett – Hate Crime Hoax in Chicago
By Edith Hathaway © 2019
Jussie Smollett, the popular American TV actor and singer, was charged on Feb. 21, 2019 with the felony of filing a false police report. He faces the possibility of up to 3 years in prison for an alleged hate crime that Chicago Police now says he himself choreographed. His bond was set at $100,000, and upon paying a $10,000 bond he was released from police custody the same day, with a court date set for March 14, 2019. In spite of overwhelming physical evidence and testimony, evidence from surveillance cameras as well as credit card, bank, phone, and text records from Smollett and the two men he hired and rehearsed to do the deed, Smollett continues to plead innocent of any wrongdoing.

Brett Kavanaugh and the Run-up to the Last Close Pluto Station opposite the USA Sun (3° orb)
by Edith Hathaway © 2018
“If you vote no – you’re legitimizing the most despicable thing I have ever seen in my time in politics,” said a furious Senator Lindsay Graham to Republican colleagues at Brett Kavanaugh’s Judicial Committee hearing Sept. 27, 2018, also dubbed the Sexual Assault Hearing. On their side, Democrats decided the hearing was also despicable, but for totally different reasons. Some of this was echoed in the T-shirts of battling supporters outside the Dirksen Senate Office building that morning, with a much admired anti-Kavanaugh T-shirt reading “Men are Trash” and a pro-Kavanaugh T-shirt reading “I Stand with Brett.” Continue reading
Peter Strzok – Update
Peter Strzok (pronounced “strock”) was the lead FBI investigator in the Mueller probe into both Hillary Clinton’s emails and the Trump-Russia collusion, 2015 -2017. Last month I wrote about The Inspector General’s Report, June 14, 2018 and the critical role Strzok played in both of these high profile investigations. He appeared before Congressional hearings June 27, 2018 (behind-closed-doors) and July 12, 2018 (televised). Both sessions endured for over 10 hours, but the latter received particular notoriety. This story is not over yet. Continue reading
More Investigation around the 2016 U.S. Election: The Inspector General’s Report, June 14, 2018
by Edith Hathaway © 2018
The IG Report: Background
“On July 10, 2015, the FBI Counterintelligence Division opened a criminal investigation [on Hillary Clinton’s emails] in response to the 811 referral from the IC IG [Office of the Intelligence Community Inspector General].[i] Although only a small percentage of 811 referrals result in criminal investigations, witnesses told the OIG [Office of the Inspector General] that a criminal investigation was necessary to determine the extent of classified information on former Secretary Clinton’s private server, who was responsible for introducing the information into an unclassified system, and why it was placed there. The FBI gave the investigation the code name ‘Midyear Exam’…” Continue reading
Anatomy of a Pluto Station: Las Vegas Shooting and Other Notable Events
By Edith Hathaway © 2017
Of course this wasn’t just any Pluto Station. When Pluto went Stationary Direct (from the earth’s vantage point) on Sept. 28, 2017 it was extraordinary in being almost exactly opposite the USA Sun, and the first time ever in U.S. history and in Pluto’s 248-year orbit around the Sun that such a phenomenon has occurred. I’ve been writing about this astronomical/astrological event since spring 2017, but let us review some of the main components. Continue reading
The Great Divide: American Civil War Redux
by Edith Hathaway © 2017
The American Civil War of the 1860s is reappearing in multiple ways during the summer and fall of 2017: The classic Civil War film Gone with the Wind (1939) was removed from a popular film festival in Memphis, Tennessee. Deemed “insensitive” to the local population, which is 64% black, it was removed from the 2017 and 2018 series after a showing on Aug. 11, 2017. The statue of Robert E. Lee and other Confederate soldiers may be removed all across the South. An Asian TV announcer with the name Robert Lee was removed from his announcer post at ESPN – temporarily, as a football game Aug. 26, 2017 was to be held in Charlottesville, Virginia, the scene of the protests and counter protests in mid-August regarding Robert E. Lee’s statue.[i] And since George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were also major slave owners, the question arises: Should their statues be removed as well? And what about their images on U.S. currency? Continue reading
ACCIDENTAL JOURNALIST & FRIENDS : The Rise of Citizen Journalists
by Edith Hathaway © 2017
George Webb calls himself the “Accidental Journalist,” while his admirers call him “an extraordinary and intrepid investigator” and his detractors call him (predictably) a “conspiracy theorist.” Others like him have become “citizen journalists” in recent years, joining the burgeoning ranks of on-line Independent news media. Generally they do not feel served by the mainstream media, especially during the 2016 U.S. Presidential election and dating back to 9-11 or earlier. Many citizen journalists did not plan to be journalists, but moved into it out of utter frustration with the level of information being presented on mainstream news (MSM). Continue reading
Deep State vs. Head of State : Tr. Pluto opposes the USA Sun (3° orb)
by Edith Hathaway © 2017
“Apparently, ‘conspiracy stuff’ is now shorthand for unspeakable truth.”
Gore Vidal, Oct. 2002
Transiting Pluto opposite anyone’s natal Sun is an arresting phenomenon, confronting the person’s very identity and legitimacy on deep levels. There are no political or geographical boundaries to Pluto’s realm, just as with Plutonian elements such as radioactivity. Expand the implications to cover the first-ever Pluto opposition to the USA Sun. Pluto’s orbit is 248.4 years, and the Sun in the chart of a nation-state is the President, or Head of State; also the presidency. Continue reading
POST ELECTION COMMENTARY: Nov. 28, 2016
ELECTION SURPRISE
When most astrologers predicted Hillary Clinton as winner in 2016, using both East & Western techniques and classical rules, it did not turn out as planned. Astrology did not work the way it normally works – at least I can say that for sure using Vedic astrology. I think all along was the revolutionary component that had to be considered and that would shatter all the usual rules we follow, including astrological rules – such as that Trump would lose in the last sub-period of his 18-year Rahu Dasha, which is normally the case. Continue reading
Election 2016 Update : Oct. 28, 2016
- By Edith Hathaway © 2016
2016 PRESIDENTIAL PREDICTIONS & TECHNIQUES
In Dec. 2015 I predicted that the Democrats would keep the White House in 2016 and that the likely Republican nominee was Donald Trump, out of a field of 17 GOP nominees. (Click here for the article.) I also noted that due to the timing to Trump’s birth chart, especially being at the tail end of his 18-year Rahu Dasha (a Vedic planetary period), and losing the protection of transiting Jupiter in sidereal Leo from Aug. 12, 2016, his chances of reaching the presidency would diminish noticeably from that time onward. Continue reading
ELECTION 2016 UPDATE : Sept. 28, 2016
By Edith Hathaway © 2016
PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE – Round 1 of 3
The first 2016 Presidential debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump surpassed all previous records for U.S. Presidential debates. It was viewed by some 80.9 million people, plus another four million or more via live streaming and other media venues. This superseded the previous record Oct. 28, 1980 – at 80.6 million – for the one televised debate between Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan. For the 2016 debate, most television audiences watched Continue reading
