And welcome to 2026. It has started in a firestorm – literal and metaphorical – and, although we should never judge a book by its cover, the last seven days have given us a foretaste of the year to come.
I woke up to the news that the United States had carried out an attack on Venezuela and taken President Maduro and his wife out of the country. I shall be covering this and other stories in my next Friday Bite, however, I referred en passant to America’s bombing of the South American country in my most recent edition. The American president has been threatening such a regime-change operation for months, and with Uranus hovering over Maduro’s Sun-Mercury conjunction, it was only a question of time before he was removed, one way or another.
The special military operation (now, where have we heard that before?) was carried out just prior to the full moon in Cancer, which just happened to be the degree of the United States’ natal Sun, while the angles of the chart are those of the United States. It is a little too soon to consider the ramifications of this action, but it won’t go unaddressed.
Speaking of which, my 2026 forecast will be live on My YouTube Channel from 5:00 pm UK time tonight.
Next week puts Jupiter in the frame, with a series of oppositions to the Sun, Venus and Mars. I have looked at the extremely positive aspects of the astrology in all your forecasts, while also pointing out that Jupiter’s principles of expansion do not only apply to great and good events but exacerbate the bad.
Patterns and polarities, the stuff of astrology.
