Softly, Softly Catchee Monkey[1]
Just fifteen days before the upcoming Full Moon on July 21st Keir Starmer presented himself to King Charles III to be publicly proclaimed as the UK’s new Prime Minister, having been handed the baton by Rishi Sunak. However, here lies the problem for Starmer and for the UK, it was not quite the New Moon – close for sure but not there. Whilst a New Moon is indeed a new beginning and a time of new intentions, we actually embraced a new Prime Minister at the dark of the moon – when there was no light. Keir Starmer became Prime Minister on the last knockings of a waningmoon – and a waning moon is just that; it is waning, its strength is diminishing. This is a time when things are hidden and before there is a new start and new intentions. So Starmer may talk incessantly about change, but there really is unlikely to be much change – just a continuation, or maybe even a speeding up, of the same. What was hidden, but did not stay hidden for any time at all, was the identity of the master puppeteer -Tony Blair; it wasn’t long though before he excitedly showed himself. What the UK people really have been handed is a Blair/Starmer governance.
Whilst the election may have been spun as a Labour landslide, it was not a show of trust and hope in Labour, but more an indictment of a public disillusioned with a Tory rule that appeared to favour the wealthy predator class. The Labour vote share marginally increased to 33.8% up from 32.2% in 2019, but with a decrease in the actual number of votes - 9.7 million compared to 10.3 million in 2019. In fact it was the lowest voting turnout in 20 years. The Tories were down from 43.8% to 23.8% and 6.8 million votes, only 2 million votes ahead of the recently formed Reform party. It is the Reform party that demands watching. It is the Reform party that is riding the crest of the wave, seizing the opportunity and building a credible opposition in readiness for the next election. It is the Reform Party whose horoscope ‘fits’ with the UK chart. They have the same approach and goals (angles of their charts). I would expect them to go from strength to strength, adding something to the UK rather than taking away, particularly on foreign policies.
We also see similarities with the French elections. In France the more left wing New Popular Front Alliance took 188 seats with 26.3% of the vote, whilst Marine Le Pen’s National Rally took 37.1% of the votes and yet only 142 seats. So Le Pen won, and yet she lost. Go figure our election systems.
This will be the second Full Moon in Capricorn and, therefore, the second Full Moon where the Moon, the people, are sitting outside their comfort zone because both are Moons governed by Saturn. Saturn symbolises authority, rules, morals and conscience - but astrologically at the moment Saturn is the epitome of ‘the sick man in bed’ – he has no dignity in Pisces and he is now retrograde. Will he be functioning with a lack of ethics and morality? He is in the 6thhouse of health, the armed forces, servants, and the drudgery of everyday life. But he is unaspected – he is unchecked by anything – and that does not bode well for the people; he has the potential to bring down. This Full Moon is also at the anaretic 29 degree marker of Capricorn – happily working with the outer planets, particularly Neptune. This Moon is enabling sudden, disruptive/shocking events (trine Uranus), which may be transformative in nature (conjunct Pluto) and certainly concealing via the media the true nature of what is happening around us (sextile Neptune).
At this election why has Patrick Vallance become so important? Just as with David Cameron’s required presence as Foreign Secretary, Vallance’s appointment on day one of governance as a peer permitted his accession to the role of Minister of State for Science, Innovation and Technology. This is even more interesting following his appointment as a Strategic Counsellor alongside former Chief of the Defence Staff, General Sir Nick Carter, in February of this year at the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change – providing both military and technological strengths. This has particular importance as Tony Blair stresses that he considers how much the UK will benefit by embracing technology and alongside it, digital identity.
Mars has now left Uranus and Algol behind as he enters Gemini – the accent now moves on to a modus operandi of words and information. But the foreboding astrologers had felt certainly played out in the USA, as the aspect fell on former President Trump’s Midheaven and he narrowly survived an assassination attempt on July 13th, as well as a worldwide IT outage on July 19th that affected Microsoft systems. Many theories surround the shooting and the dynamics at the event bring up more questions than answers. Trump has a very powerful and egotistical Mars in Leo, which sits opposite the USA Moon (the people) – he really is the marmite candidate. But, as an eclipse baby, he has the luck of the angels and the circumstances of the event appear shambolic. But the bottom line is that he has hugely increased his popularity and his future election chances, particularly as it occurred very shortly after Biden had suggested that ‘it’s time to put Trump in the eye of the bullseye’. Currently Saturn in Pisces lies opposite the USA Neptune and the Moon/South Node midpoint at the time of the shooting was on the USA’s exalted Saturn. Somehow this shooting plays into the USA horoscope and the destiny of the USA. As I write this Biden has declared himself sick. Is he now toast and the way paved for Harris? Would the scenario have been different had the assassination attempt on Trump been successful? Desperate now to avoid a Trump win, what will happen next in the American scenario?
Starmer on the other hand is more tactical, but he is essentially weak; his more feeble Mars in Cancer sits on the UK’s Midheaven; that should be a strong placement, but Starmer thinks he can manipulate through emotional persuasion. Is he clever enough? He has the chart of someone who wants to stand out from the crowd; he has luck on his side, but he does not possess the command. He is authoritarian by nature, flip flops in his decision making, but functions by stealth, concealing his true nature.
Starmer hit the ground running as he became PM. His motley crew of a cabinet met very unusually on a Saturday before he hot footed to the Ukraine, missing out on the NATO photo opportunity with all the other delegates. Instead he was photographed hugging a happy Zelensky, promising him £3 billion per year of our money. He informed the Ukrainian president that UK Storm Shadow missiles could be used for defensive strikes against targets inside Russia, although he was given a fairly quick slap on the wrist for this by our MoD. All this in addition to the recent NATO summit approving ‘a minimum baseline funding of 40 billion euros within the next year’ for the provision of military equipment etc. to support Ukraine in building a force capable of defeating Russian aggression.[2] Nowhere in the NATO document was there any suggestion of an effort towards peace however! Many countries over many years have thought they could beat Russia but have failed! The people will find themselves seriously unhappy if they are drawn into a world war – but are the real targets more like Iran and China?
One area that confuses many people, including me, is the huge number of think tanks that proliferate society in ever increasing numbers – their task to influence culture and society with ideological principles. Some are non-government in their nature, some appear charitable, and some are linked to government. They had their beginnings in the 19thcentury, with one of the first being the Fabian Society, founded in 1884; founding members included influential members of society such as H. G. Wells and Julian Huxley, brother of Aldous Huxley, also big players within the technocratic movement. Membership today is popular with Labour Party members such as Tony Blair and many on the Front Bench including Starmer. In order to really understand people’s views it is important to look at the societies they support.
The Fabian Society was named after the Roman Emperor Quintus Fabius Maximus Verrucosus who was tasked with defeating Hannibal between 218 and 201 BCE. Fabius developed a strategy that was based on avoiding direct conflicts, instead employing means that would apply pressures that would wear down the enemy on a more long-term level - so rather than one big ambitious action, a long-term goal was adopted that would be achieved by chipping away with small steps. A number of images abound, used by the Fabian Society to symbolise themselves; including the turtle/tortoise with a hard shell who gets to his goal slowly and determinedly, an anvil and hammer, presumably signifying the chipping away, and the wolf in sheep’s clothing. We can see all their tactics in play today, particularly with the World Economic Forum and their method of stakeholder capitalism/cultural Marxism. They have followed their goals with patience and pervasiveness as they have announced to us that they have followed a long-term process of educating ‘young global leaders’ who have infiltrated so many of the governments around the world – you can’t get much closer to that image of a wolf in sheep’s clothing!
And it seems we have been surrounded for a very long time by methods of wearing down – extremely powerful psychological and mind influencing tools, the prospect of economic and financial abyss, difficulties in accessing health solutions, fears associated with epidemics/pandemics/climate change/net zero, food security, energy security. Ed Miliband, the new Secretary of State for energy security and net zero, has also wasted no time at all in his new role. He appears to have ordered a ban on new drilling for oil and gas in the North Sea and has also approved three major solar farms whilst promising a rooftop ‘solar revolution’. The cynic in me would wonder how successful that would be unless the cloud seeding etc we have seen so much of since last October is reversed. One would assume that the success of a solar rooftop revolution would depend very much on being able to actually see the Sun. With this in mind, I hope he also has a strategy for food security going forward once valuable farmland is appropriated for these solar farms.
Interestingly the Zionist Organisation was formed at a similar period to the Fabian Society – in 1897. Not all Jews are Zionists and Zionism is more politically based than religious, but the founding goal is the creation of a Jewish homeland based on their right to ‘the Promised Land’. Trump is a supporter of Zionism, as is his new running mate Vance; and many Zionists are providers of financial support for many many organisations, including Trump’s. Hence the need to always look deeply at who is funding who and what ‘secret’ societies influence the influencers.
We are in a storm with many strategies of attrition surrounding us. But as we arrive at what could be the eye of the storm, it is important to realise that these changes have being actuated over a very long period of time with precision and patience, according to the exact strategy of the Fabian Society. Each step of change has been absorbed into the culture of society before moving on to the next. In this way ‘slowly slowly catchy monkey’ has achieved its goal and penetrated into society. How many members of the Fabian society also embrace the ideologies of the technocrats and the technocratic takeover of society? Certainly Blair has always pinned his hopes on a technocratic society that embraces digital identity. And how much have the long-term methods employed to achieve their goals successfully dulled down and corrupted Western society?
Pluto/Uranus conjunctions are markers of deep transformational societal change – and they don’t happen very often. The two most recent were the late 1800’s and the mid 1960’s. The former brought in the changes of the Industrial Revolution, alongside TV, cinema, Hollywood and new forms of transport connections. All would lay the foundations for the next conjunction, which would appear as more of a counterculture revolution where the young were pitched against the older generation. Influencing the young mind was required as the glitzy glamorous pied pipers led the way in the form of new bands, Hollywood, TV and the excitement that a post-war world embraced with glee. Consider the never seen before frenzy of Beatlemania – a manufactured construct. So began a huge era of social engineering via mind control programming that was unleashed in the form of free love, drugs, psychedelics etc. The aim was to erase traditional values and with that the strength of the family, at the same time creating racial and cultural division. Males were to be emasculated, sexual identity confused and Christianity dismantled. This was all aided and abetted by media influence and increased alcohol intake. In tandem with this period leaps and bounds were made in terms of computer technology. Women were encouraged to want more than playing their role in the dynamics of bringing up the family – they could have it all they were told, as the men became more feminised. Gradually society became more self-centred, self-obsessed, money focussed and corrupt.
Society was then brought to a crescendo of control that people never thought they would see in 2020; that was the point when many began to see what certain people/organisations have in mind for our futures. Plato’s allegory of the cave demonstrated how painful the process of realising and facing up to the truth can be; particularly when he said that those who do manage to see beyond the shadows and lies of their culture will never be understood let alone believed by the masses.[3] Many people understand that now. Plato lived between 427 and 348 BCE – more than 2,000 years ago and he was aware then. How long before the message gets through and what do we have to do?
Lord Baden-Powell used the phrase `softly softly catchee monkey' as the motto of the Scouting group because he had learned that he could get the best work out of his force by dividing it into small groups, or patrols, giving responsibility to the captain of each group. And this is exactly what groups have done over a number of years as they influenced society with the ‘values’ they had been targeted to carry out. However, when change comes from so many different flanks it can be really difficult to see it as a co-ordinated effort; until something such as 2020 propels you into a situation to really look – and look hard. Only then do we see how much society has been changed by massive corruption that has caused society to lose its core values in favour of self-gratification and self-obsession. But, as these people in control smell the success that they have long planned for, will they now show signs of extreme complacency that will bring with it their own hubris? As this government prepares to bring in measures that threaten to destroy the UK at its depths remember they have no crest of a wave to ride and they did not come to power with auspicious timing. We should put to bed the notion instilled in us that politicians serve us – that is not the reality – only then can we start again.
We need to be ensuring that our mental immune system is strong, as well as our physical immune system . as it was a waste of time moving the furniture around on the Titanic, there is no point changing the clowns – the whole circus has to be transformed.
