…sponsored by Sun-Neptune in Pisces:
“2020 Census undercounted Latinos, Blacks and Native Americans, bureau estimates show.” Neptune refers to wipeouts.
“Justice Department finds more than $7 billion in fraud from Covid aid claims”
U.S. warns that Russia could use chemical and biological weapons against Ukraine
“Russia makes claim of US-backed biological weapon plot at UN” Neptune refers to deception. Here’s the NYT fact-check on that rumor.
Scientists find octopus ancestor that predates dinosaurs and name it after President Biden.
Octopuses are using plastic waste as camouflage, shelters
A Capitol rioter pushed an officer over a ledge, FBI says. A photo from a sea turtle fundraiser led to his arrest. Neptune refers to photos, sea turtles and charities.
This year I’ve noticed an uptick in stories reflecting an increased awareness of animal (i.e., any creature that is not human) intelligence. Not just in the newspapers — but in social media, too. Did you see the videos of dogs playing Jenga? This NYT piece struck me as intuitively obvious, ” “Wildlife Personalities Play a Role in Nature,” i.e., scientists are recognizing that all living creatures have unique personalities — not just creatures we keep as pets. Way to go, scientists! Empathy — and the awareness that we are all connected — a Neptune in Pisces thing!
Satellite images show flooding north of Kyiv in possible sign of ‘hydraulic warfare’ Neptune refers to water and floods.
Australia experiences devastating floods
Endurance: Shackleton’s lost ship is found in Antarctic — after sinking 107 years ago.
It is revealed that Mark Meadows — a resident of Virginia and the former guy’s Chief of Staff — voted in North Carolina in the 2020 election, using the address of a mobile home in which he does not live. Neptune refers to voter fraud.
WaPo columnist Karen Tumulty’s personal essay about the death of her brother and his years-long experience with the U.S. health care system will tug at your heart strings. Neptune refers to healing, empathy and the surreal.
“Massive superyacht owned by Luckoil CEO vanishes“
“Biden orders study of cryptocurrency risks and a digital dollar.” Neptune refers to intangibles and imaginary objects.
Elon Musk and Grimes announced they have a daughter — and it’s surreal
Meanwhile, the battle between proponents of democracy and proponents of authoritarianism continues…as suggested by Pluto at the verrrrry end of Capricorn vs. Saturn square Uranus and the Great Mutation in Aquarius.
Missouri lawmakers introduced a bill to make it illegal for a woman to abort an ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancies are not viable — and they are life-threatening. Greg Olear is a journalist who — like Heather Cox Richardson — publishes on Substack. In his latest post, he writes about the history of misogyny in the United States. Browse his Substack site and you’ll find an impressive in-depth piece on another Neptune-themed topic: Jared Kushner.
Speaking of Substack, another good read is Eric Boehlert, who holds the media accountable in his blog, PRESS RUN. His latest post is about rising oil & gas prices –(hellooooo Neptune!) and what the media fails to mention.
In Chile, Gabriel Boric -23 AQ- was sworn in as the nation’s youngest president. The outgoing president is a billionaire; Boric is a 36-year-old former student activist. According to Al-Jazeera, “[Boric] is now heading a feminist, environmentalist government that’s going to try to bring about historic social change, led by a cabinet that is
