Leaping Through the Portal
As the solar Eclipse of July 1st nips at our heels, Greece is in flames. The cradle of Western civilization is exploding with the cardinal Cross.
Glimpsed sneaking away from the mayhem: none other than Wall Street’s Goldman Sachs, who apparently helped Greece to mask its debt crisis with the same slimy credit-swapping tricks that trashed the world economy three years ago. I swear, the snarkiest ironist could not have made this up. (I’m obliged to reader Preston for turning me on to an excellent article by Michael Hudson on the European crisis, epitomized right now by Greece but of worldwide relevance.)
Eclipses and Sanity
Eclipse season began with the New Moon of June first.
This month’s Skywatch discusses the series of squares taking place from Neptune in Pisces, the Great Dissembler. I thought of this ingress last weekend when I heard about the yogi Swami Ramdev, whose protest against corruption in government took a Neptunian turn. Accosted by the police during his hunger strike, the yogi fled into the crowd disguised as an old woman, covering his black beard with a white shawl.
