THE LONGEST NAME

June 5

Many a Polynesian has been asked the big question:

' What's the difference between Otahuhu and the Holy Bible ? '

Nobody has ever answered correctly: In the Holy Bible there are 3 wise men. In Otahuhu there are 3 white men !

This was not always the case. I found a team photo for the first major championshipwin of the Otahuhu Rovers' rugby league team in 1945. The team photo contained names likeHardy, Kent, Wells, Ritchie, Sanderson, Smith, Riley,Parry, Halsey, Johnson x 5, Seymour, McManus, Patillo, Fogarty, Hall, Brady, Simons, Rodger, Martin, Speedy x 2.

A noticeable dearth of Polynesian names. Nowadays you're flat finding a ' palagi ' name in any South Auckland sporting team. Some notable unusuals, like a member of the Otahuhu league premier reserves--Faithinmiracle Sonny Taiese.

None greater though, than one who scored3 tries for the Otara Stingers women in their recent 60--6 win over the Mt Albert Lionesses. Officially named

EARLY CANCER DETECTION

May 29

The latest, very predicted NZ recession has been a ripper.

Another great triumph for Astrological magnificence, and for many idiots a long overdue wake-up call.

I've been producing stunning, public prophecies for over 30 years. Giving 2.5 years warning of the current economic and social disasters was justanother task for the tradesman. And there are still sick headlines like this recent NZ Herald disgrace !

'Nothing is guaranteed in your future':

21yo student diagnosed with terminal cancer eager to help others spot symptoms

Nice thoughts that would need Snotty-Nose Jane'sapproval. A.k.a Jane Phare, a veteran with 46 years of ' Herald experience.' Phare's claim to fame is being a survivor of breast cancer, when revolutionary Pluto wassquashing her Venus position. After I had been unsuccessfully pitching the greatness of Astrology to journo Jane, she gave her date of birth, then was warned of ' a major life upheaval in a couple of years time '

Which coincided with her having a breast removed ! Some years later I resurrected the original dialogue, suggesting that finding her own time of birth would produce an early detection formula. For so many, when the argument is lost, the personal attacks begin and Snotty-Nose Janesharpened her pocket knife:

' You didn't predict the birth of my son ! '

Correct, because I didn't even know her birth date then ! And a time of arrival would have been necessary to forecast something like motherhood. With some 5 or 6 successful parenting predictions in the Astrological archives and some very happy couples. Like a pair who also began a successful cleaning business under Astrological supervision during the Covid era. I decided to support their business when the carpets needed a tune up last January.

Boss man muttered about sorting the payment later and his meticulous worker was no wiser. So when the wife phoned a few months later requesting a 3-years Astrological update I told her that I'd have to charge her the same amount as her husband billed me for the carpet cleaning----' Nothing.' She disagreed, because the carpet job was an appreciation, and deposited the normal $50 into the bank account she'd used last time.

Snotty-Nose Jane debuted at NZHerald in 1976 and did try to be an own boss many years back, as a free-lance journalist. Obviously she didn't have the mental toughness required and went crawling back to a wage at the Herald after a year or 2. If Phare did possess the X factor she would have located her birth time and learned all about the Astrological 6th House complications which supervise every major illness. ' My byline ' takes precedence though, and even 10 years after her breast removal, NZ Herald regurgitated the Phare facts inFebruary 2023 !

After three operations, two hospitals and one death sentence, Jane Phare concentrates on the art of being grateful.

The day after the unfortunate student's claim, there was yet another reminder of Health Astrology's magnificence:

Celine Dionhad a heartbreaking reaction while discussing her health battle withstiff person syndrome.

A trailer for the star’s self-titled documentary,I Am: Celine Dion, was released this morning giving fans their first look at thePower of Lovemusician’s reality of living with her diagnosis.

Dion, 56 has used her upcoming Amazon Prime Video documentary to speak candidly about her health for the first time, appearing to break down in tears while doing so.

Filthy Herald loves to peddle misery, but hates amazing prophecies like this pearl from last November's Annuals,www.donmurrayastrologer.com!

Dion, Celine:

Incredible come down for the entertainer with Pluto antagonising her Moon and Mars and Uranus doing same to Jupiter. Needs to rest in April, May, July, Sept, Oct.

With yet another stunner from last November !

Moroney, Mike:

Gap year recommended for the triangular-shaped horse trainer with Pluto-Moon emotional turbulence and the unhealthy, energy-sapping Neptune-Mars attack. Feb, April, July, Aug, Sept, Dec crucial, then Uranus-Mercury chaos in 2025.

He was rushed to hospital in ' crucial April ' with serious breathing problems and discharged 7 weekslater.

' Nothing is guaranteed in your future ' claimed the 21 year-old of minimal life experience. Only long-range horse racing certainties, national disasters and some of the greatest upsets in sporting history !

' THE 55 PERCENTERS '

May 27

Among the many hilarities of modern day NZ are the school truancy statistics.

Only 45% were deemed regular attenders last year ! Down from around 99% in my era, so comment had to be sought from the best wagger at Mt Albert Grammar in 1967, Ricky Ball.

Ricky had slid down the academic ladder from 3A French to 5B Gen. Renowned for his long hair and socks around the ankles, and bad attitude to authority, Ricky took days off when he felt like it. As the drummer in Battle of the Bands winner and Top Ten group Challenge, R Ball was a rarity with his television appearances, easily the most famous in that school of 1100 pupils.

He lacked academic prowess at MAGS, but could still calculate that only 45% of regular school attenders today left an incredible 55% truants. Naturally we wondered about the chances of those fitting into the workforce and paying taxes, or simply becoming lifers on the unemployment benefit. And what lucky bastards we were, and what NZ would be like in 20 years time ?

EDUCATION ?

72 year-old Frederick Gardiner Ball is actually an inspiration to school dislikers, and still-alive proof that serious study and faith in the system doesn't guarantee an exciting and/or productive life. ( As thousands of public servants and media puppets have discovered recently.) Rick's main band Hello Sailor first broke up in 1980 and he moved into the rag trade, and still runs his clothing import business.

Still drumming, too, with various bands and the long-ago reformed Hello Sailor recently did a few weeks of national touring with contemporaries Dragon. Minus Sailor originals Graham Brazier and Dave McArtney, of course, who are possibly upstairs doing a remake of their 1986 classic, Winning Ticket. Which included

'To every wayward boy, in detention centres

All the jails, the one percenters,

To every death, by misadventure,

I really sympathise.'

A song titled ' The 55 Percenters, ' in honour of the skyrocketing school truancy. So many possibilities for thewayward boy, like detention centres, jail and death by misadventure. Add ingang patches and terms unknown to us scholars of the 1960s like ram raids, drive-by shootings and knife wielding teenagers in the shopping malls. What a ripper of song they could be making in Rock'n Roll Heaven.

B SHARROCK AND ENTAIN HAVE BIG PROBLEMS

May 24

There are, quite naturally, recipes for long-standing relationship successincluding marriage.

Most notably when the Sun of one and the Moon of the other share the same degree. Even for one with the dreaded Scorpio Moon. Those born with the Moon in dark, gloomy Scorpio can plummet into great depressions and totally lose the plot.

The most difficult for close relationships, and theyare plentiful in the decadent racing industry. With names likeLisa Cropp, Paul Moroney, SirMark Todd, Dean Howard, Chris Gibbs,Blake Shinn, Kellie Kersley, Robert Smerdon,Terry Wenn, Tineke Balcombe and the very topical Stephen Marsh etc.

Also lesser-known Capricorn Cathy, formerly of Matamata. Herjockey husband suffered a career-ending injury, with wheelchair possibilities, so Capricorn Cathy left him and their 2 kids for a new life in Auckland's sex worker industry.

And NZ Racing's C E O, ' Loose Bruce ' Sharrock ! Back on April 29, we revealed howat a recent board meeting, Sharrock opened up about his new relationship with a female South Island jockey. In respect of 'conflict of interest. ' Which could be dangerousif the new broodmare got involved in a drugs or horse cruelty scandal. But nobody protested.

As noted previously, Loose Bruce would be difficult enough to manage as a Cancer Sun possessor born in the 1966 Firehorse Year. Even more dangerous with that Moon at Scorpio 28.36 degrees. Giant expletive when the potential Mrs Bruce, Ms Kylie Williams' 21.11.79 birthdate has the Scorpio Sun at 28.04. A very recommended union with that Sun-Moon proximity, but 2024 is going to be full of dramatics.

Scorpio's arch-rival, opposite Taurus, houses erratic Uranus at present and the zodiac's terrorist shall be zooming between Taurus 27 and Gemini 1 next year. Consequently attacking the Moon of B Sharrock and Sun of his broodmare, between May 2025 and March 026. Whence an appearance in the next November Annuals !

Sharrock, Bruce:

Racing administrator in need of supervision and monitoring with Uranus-Moon and Pluto-Mercury catastrophes. March, June, July, Dec and Jan 026 notable, with a major separate upset around April 025.

This fellow has apparently been missing in action during the many recent track dIsasters. Hardly a leader, especially considering theCancer Firehorsefactor. But obviously with other things on his mind, as well as his day job in sports management.

Now B Sharrock was one of the principals in selling the NZ TAB to dodgy foreigners Entain nearly a year ago. Last week Entain's share price hit a 52-weeks low with a 50.33% decrease in the last 12 months ! Last year Entain's overall loss equalled NZD $2.1 billion.

78% ofEntain shares are owned by institutional investors, who are demanding a return and a reduction in debt. A committee has been formedto explore the divesting of recently acquired businesses that aren't looking profitable with the future in mind.

Originally Entain guaranteed the NZ TAB for 5 years. That's looking very shaky with the recent, plummeting NZ betting turnovers. Having a coach like B Sharrock wouldn't be any kind ofinspiration to Entain shareholders either.

GERONIMO TO REPLACE JOHNSON

May 22

There's always a giant expletive when discovering a pair of natal planets in the early degrees of Libra.

Libra's great mates Aquarius and Gemini will soon have Pluto and Uranus respectively as lodgers. So those who arrived in the last week of September, anywhere or in any year, shall be beneficiaries of Pluto-Sun and Uranus-Sun advancement in the next 2 -5 years. With many others gaining from either Uranus or Pluto to other natal spots in early Libra, like their Moon, Mercury or Venus etc.

As previously noted, rugby league great Roger Tuivasa-Sheck's Jupiter ( Libra 4.47 ) shall be receiving very positive trines from Pluto and Uranus in 2026 and achieving some great career pinnacles. Same year and 2027 have even more positives for small-time racehorse trainers Matthew Enright ( Melbourne ) and Reece Cole ( Matamata ), along with 80 year-old Auckland lawyer Alan Galbraith KC, a super keen racehorse owner for around 50 years.

Consider Geronimo Doyle, a utility back in the rapidly-improving NZ Warriors Reserves team. Whose brilliance was described here way back in 2017, when G Doyle helped the Otahuhu Leopards return to the top grade after their only ever year in the Auckland 2nd division. When the regular, large presence of the very supportive andsporting Doyle family on the grass bank of Otahuhu's home ground caused me to rename it the ' Doyle Stand.'

Then I hadn't even looked at G Doyle's birthday situation. Now he's playing for the NZW reserves and there was a hastened search and some calculations after his recent stunner against the Newcastle Knights a few weeks ago. Newcastle were leading 7-6 with 5 minutes to go. A Warriors' dropped goal attempt was charged down, Geronimo scooped the charger's spill andbeat 5 players to score the match winner.

The G Doyle birthday planets have an amazing array of Uranus and Pluto positives, assisting his Jupiter, Mars and Node between June this year and May of 2027.

Ideally ' GMO ' would be helping Otahuhu win another Fox Memorial or 3 in the Auckland comp, but much higher honours are guaranteed. His Warriors' role this year has seen many vacancies in the Doyle Stand, but one former season pass holder is working on obtaining a desired time of arrival for the young superstar.

Current Warriors' playmaker Shaun Johnson's troubles of 2024 have been accurately prescribed and he will be turning 34 in September. There's not much improvement for him next year, whence the recommendations for Geronimo Doyle.

Lest we not forget the great advancement under similar, awesome Pluto trines that was correctly forecast for NZ Warriors personnel John Ackland and Stacey Jones in 2010 and 2011.

Amidst the economic and social turmoil, there will always be fortunate recipients of awesome Pluto and Uranus trines

GOLD MEDAL BULLIES

May 20

TinyNew Zealand has few peers when it comes to world leadership per capita.

It's perennially near the top in rugby, yachting, league and mens' softball. Plenty of greatness from rowers as well, and various others like Israel Adesanya. We of 1950s-birth grew with stories of world leaders in athletics like Peter Snell and Murray Halberg, and Bruce McLaren and Denny Hulme of motor racing. Also Sir Edmund Hillary, a world champion mountain climber.

NZ can also claim the World Champion Astrologer, courtesy of the stunning prediction on a horse racing certainty 5 years, 4 months and 3 days in advance, that paid $9.80 for the win.

More recently NZ's domestic violence, homelessness, youth suicide and teenage crime have taken very high rankings in the developed world. A survey in 2017 even had NZ 3rd in world rankings per capita for obesity. With yet another Gold Medal---New Zealand was revealed to have the highest bullying rate !

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) report highlights the significant impact bullying has on students' mental health and attendance.

The report said New Zealand reports the highest rate of bullying among OECD countries and the recent PISA survey indicated that 15% of students in New Zealand reported being frequently bullied.

Such an achievement can be attributed to the training programmes. There's encouragement to be violent in the headlines each morning !

Watch: Terrifying moment man swings machete at Auckland high school student

Watch: Weapon-wielding thieves target Michael Hill jewellers at Auckland mall

Watch: Military horses run loose through London, four people injured

Watch: Dramatic smash and grab as jewellery store targeted in daylight raid

Watch: 'Absolutely devastated': Honey company forced to destroy $2m worth of bee boxes.

While the leader of the very troubled nation, an epitomiserof the palagi plastic trash culture, thinks that banning gang patches will solve most of the problems !

NO ARGUMENTS, OKAY ?

May 17

The referee blew the final whistle and the game was over.

Not. There were millions of replays and arguments, some even lastingfor months. About a red card, a forward pass or a bunker decision.

Rather ironically the most famous, unpenalisedforward pass in history was part of one of the greatest-ever predictions ! When France upset the All Blacks in October 2007 for NZ's worst-ever result in a Rugby World Cup. See http://www.donmurrayastrologer.com/predictions.html or ' Predictions ' above..

This arguing andbitching is sanctioned by the New World Order, of course. Keeping the masses dumb and distracted is part of the game plan. As per George Orwell's claim in 1949 that 'football, beer and above all, gambling filled up the horizon of their minds. To keep them in control was not difficult.'

Whence no more Astrological predictions in the media. The NWO wants dopes dumbly debating, which is reasonably impossible when the sensational Solar system is getting 90%+ amazingly correct. Especiallywhen it involves superstars getting injured or losing form.

One of last November's sensations owned the headlines around April with his on andoff-field misbehaviours. His Rabbitohs team is currently 17th of 17 on the NRL ladder !

Mitchell, Latrell:

Neptune v Mars and Uranus v Jupiter cause major problems for NRL star around April. Sept and Feb 025 crucial as well.

Whileanother November 2023 subject is enjoying his ' Major advancement ' of ' April, May, ' with his 2nd-season Dolphins now 4th on the NRL ladder after a 13th place finish last year.

Bennett, Wayne:

Emotional turbulence from Uranus squashing his Moon in July, Oct, Dec. Major advancement from Pluto-Mars trine, April, May and right through 025. Separate achievement pinnacles from solar arc trines Nov 024 and Nov 025.

This genius player's ' Slow autumn ' has included achilles tendon issues and his NZ Warriors currently languishing in 14th place. The ' notable May ' has supervised his time out with a pectoral problem.

Johnson, Shaun:

Slow autumn for rugby league gun from difficult solar progression and Saturn restrictions. April, May, Sept notable.

Obviously the Warriors' captain isn't too happy either.

Harris, Tohu:

Leading Warrior hampered by Neptune-Mars attack. March, April, Sept crucial.

Back on May6 we also explained how Warriors' assistant coachStacey Jones was experiencing a very frustrating, angry and rare Mars v Midheaven by progression, thatwould be endingin June. Which harmonises nicely with the head coach's appearance last November:

Webster, Andrew:

Great improvement from Uranus-Sun trine between July and Oct. More awesome Uranus trines in 2026, 2028, 2029.

I have no birth time for A Webster which would be necessary to explain his current downers. His ' Great improvement ' is a formalityas per the hundreds of amazing prophecies made on players and coaches in all sports.

And when you're getting these Uranus positives you're also getting the breaks. You make the right decisions and don't lose the team's superstars toinjury. And you don't get penalised when the experts think you should have been.

But the grizzlerswill always find something to grumble about.

.

IT GETS FUNNIER

May 15

This current recession is not onlyamazing, it's awesome as well. Because the predictions started nearly 3 years ago !

Alliteration is also awesome and' lots of liquidations and lay-offs looming ' got frequent use. Check out the recent headlines.

Job cuts take toll as unemployment rises to highest level in three years

Monthly liquidations hit six-year high as Inland Revenue cracks down on struggling businesses

Some 3534 have already been confirmed to be losing their jobs in the civil service since this tranche of cuts began. Also the awesome news about some 400 media puppets having their strings slashed.

You could even feel sorry for poor old Keen Interest Without Intelligence, who stumbles through life like a trotting horse wearing blinkers. Brainwashed by the media puppets into investing in their systems, with all those 'experts.' Systems that obviously ain't working very well.

To be fair though, ' getting a job ' is becoming less of a priority in modern NZ. 2023 stats releasedshow that just 45.9% of school students were regular attenders !

The only authentic system is the one so recommended by the father of modern medicine, still honoured today in the ethics and morals oath taken by doctors. Hippocrates was praising Astrology some 400 years before the birth of Jesus Christ. Whose arrival was also predicted by Astrologers known as The Three Wise Men.

Many are stuck in these super-gluemy times. You can't help stupid if he doesn't want to be helped, but there is always plenty to laugh about !

' People don't realize how hard it is to speak the truth to a world full of people that don't realize they are living a lie.' --Edward Snowden

MAFIAMAN IN SYMONDS ST

May 13

These recent headlines hastened a withdrawal from the memory bank:

Man arrested after toy gun sparks armed police response at Auckland’s LynnMall

Armed police swarmed an Auckland apartment building after a witness mistook photographic equipment for a gun.

'Twas a Friday afternoon in December 1979, when a pair of constables were cruising up Symonds St, Auckland in a police car and noticed the gunman.

Strolling down Symonds St, wearing a black mafia hat with a white band. A gun holster strapped on his right shoulder! A screech, a u-turn, another screech to the halt. Suddenly they were ordering the gunman to hands-in-the-air, freeze and not move !

I thawed out quickly and explained. Auckland'sShocking Society was holding its Gangsters, Molls and Rock Stars fancy dress bash at a North Shore restaurant that evening. My mission was the Gangster's prize. Already I had a friend screen-print a boring old white shirt with black polka dots. I had the wide black mafia hat with the white band.

My job as a Sunday News investigative reporter had plenty of contact with the cops, so I had managed to borrow a shoulder-holster from a CIB senior, Terry Ward, to complement my outfit. All I needed was a water pistol. Friday afternoon at Sunday News was usually free of work, so dressed in my gangster's outfit, complete with the holster, I sauntered down to the Karangahape Rd shops to find the gun.

There was friendly advice to take that bloody thing off and keep it hidden. Withbest wishes for the Gangster's competition. Which I did win.

RACING'S PROTECTED SPECIES

May 11

There's been plenty of mockery of NZ horse racing and its protected species.With a classic just over 19 years ago.

On the morning of Sunday May 8. 2005 I returned from the gym to a long email from a Waikato source. All about serious pre and post-race threats at Te Rapa races yesterday by diminutive 44 year-old trainerNigel Tileyto diminutive 19 year-old apprentice jockeyLee Callaway.

A ripper story, with assurance that there'd be a website article as soon as I'd returned from watching 2 lesbian mates playing for the Richmond Roses Rugby League team in nearby Mangere. Another landmark day, with Richmond Roses scoring 20 tries in the 88-0 demolition.

Monday morning's NZ Herald included a small piece on a heated, post-race argument in the birdcage between Tiley and Callaway. With stipendiary stewardAlan Colesindicating that both would be spoken to advisedly. ( Coles was Tiley's neighbour in Karaka, and had been a guest at his wedding 2 months earlier.)

BUT hundreds had already digested the riveting tale of the Tiley-Callaway stoush atwww.donmurray.co,nz. Witness accounts of Tiley warning rival Callaway pre-race not to battle Tiley's runner for the lead in the open sprint. Callaway stuck to his plan, with his mount and Tiley's runner cutting each other's throats in front until they both surrendered.

Post-race, in the birdcage, there was Tiley to Callaway with " If I didn't have to hold this horse I'd punch your f*cking head in ! "

Tales here get tongues wagging.The racing authorities changed tack and eventually misconduct charges were laid against Tiley, who pleaded guilty and was lightened by $2250 .

In the official transcript, chief racecourse inspector John McKenzie sounded more like a defence lawyer than a prosecutor when making all kinds of excuses for Tiley. Conveniently not mentioning acase some 7-8 years before that McKenzie had ignored. When a diminutive Tiley employee was bashed and booted for refusing to work another 6 hours without pay on his weekly half-day off !

Not that surprising, because McKenzie had been yet another guest at his fishing and golf buddy Tiley's wedding ! It's hardly the worst of the decadent industry's unravelled carpet jobs, but the wedding factor gives it a special significance.

CHUTNEY MAN GETS HOME D

May 9

Four years ago next month we broke the story of a high-profile harness professional sexually abusing a male employee.

Employee complained to the Racing Integrity Board but it was ignored. Gang-member intervention got the police interested and the story here encouraged 2 more victims to come forward about the evils of the scumbag we dubbed Chutney Man.

He finally went to trial in February and was found guilty with name suppression. Earlier this week hereceived 10 months Home Detention for his misdemeanours. Chutney Man has driven more than 1500 winners and trained over 400. While many in the waning industry were wondering why this harness great suddenly seemed to retire a couple of months ago, although it's yet to be officially confirmed. Other greats get honoured on retirement with something like

The Chutney Man Farewell Trot ( restricted to 2 year-old colts )

Both of the horse codes are renowned for protecting their sex offenders, especially the Group One winners and the well-connected. And this 60 year-old old Chutney Man can still ply his trade. He's doing his Home D with a fellow harness trainer and will still be able to drive trotters in their work. There may even be young stableboys for him to get excited over.

It must be noted too, that Chutney Man's new sponsor has a sister, who once did 7 months with the ankle bracelet for assisting her boyfriend in a burglary of her ex's house.

Ironically this matter would still be in the RIB's Too Embarrassing basket if the victim hadn't opened up to a mate of mine. And it was only Chutney Man's being visited by gang members that got the police interested.

THE FEENEY ROLL MODEL

May 8

We're always laughing at the out-of-control youths and skyrocketing crime and school truancy statistics in NZ.

Poor kids don't have the great role models of our Golden Generation of 1940s and 50s births. They have ' roll ' models instead. Like this thing, who gets an unbelievable amount of publicity for one so repulsive.

Jay-Jay Feeney’s brother infuriated gunman who shot him is eligible for parole

Feeney comes across as a ' woman of many rolls '------sausage rolls, jam rolls, ham rolls, lard rolls, lucky dog rolls--- but her ugliness may have more to do with the booze. Early last year the shapeless hideonwith the crimson face appeared here, in a video of her making champagne from a soda stream.

Feeney actually came for an Astrological enlightenment in February 2005. Like 99% of full-reading receivers, she agreed with the past analyses, including her troubled childhood and highly dysfunctional family etc. Milestones of the past were correctly identified, but Feeney didn'tdisplay the usual enthusiasm over theAstrological phenomenon. Something wasn't quite right with her.

Crunch time came when she asked about having children. ' No ' was the answer and the reasons were explained. Then a few months later, Feeney got very vicious and ruthlessly bagged astrologers, psychics and seers in a Sunday News column. I figured the filthy pig had probably been to lots of them and got the same verdict---no kids.

Feeney was born with the depression classic, Mars in House 12, that takes people into very dark places. Also during the clash of Mercury and Neptune, an aspect which frequently weakens possessors enough to become serious substance abusers,liars or criminal fraudsters.All Astrological readings are done in confidence but the privacy clause disappears when a client brings the great science into disrepute.

It's like the Gods of Karma intervened, and the laughter began. Feeney and her partner spent more than 8 years and $$$$ trying to have a kid before finally giving up ! With Feeney constantly grizzling about the fertility drugs making her fatter than normal and depressed!

Morale in NZ keeps finding new rock bottoms with the economic and unemployment crises. And it's very hard to sympathise when a nation invests its emotions in ' pakuranga hunts ' who tell blatant lies. There are many like Feeney in the vicious media system.

Check it out. The roll model for general losers, the narrow-minded and rut dwellers.

GUMBY'S WORLD RECORD ?

May 6

Occasionally there are rugby league teams that score a try in the first minute of a game.

The odds of the same tryscorer getting a second try in the first minute of the second half would be Astronomical. But it did happen last Saturday at the Otahuhu Leopards' home ground. Veteran Otahuhu 2nd rower Sione ' Gumby ' Feao notched the unusually rare double during his team's whipping of Glenora by 42-22.

The hallowed ground actually came close to hosting another world record on July 9, 2022. When the Otahuhu Leopards pulverised the Papatoetoe Panthers by 136-0. Bested by English 3rd division teamYork City Knights with their 144-0 win over West Wales Raiders in August 2018.

Rugby league is booming in Auckland, with the dedication of the Wahs' fans, and pushing rugby yawnion from the it'sperch. Interest in the womens' game is skyrocketing,too, with an NZ Warriors' team joining the exciting NRLW competition next year. But already there's woke stupidity threatening the great game, that for some strange reason has a female CEO in the Auckland Rugby League.

The problem is with the ARL website's most watched page---the Premiers' draw--- and some of the disrespectful and idiotic team names.

A newcomer notices Otahuhu Leopards and Mt Albert Lions, sweet. Then the problem starts, with not one of the other 14 teams in the Fox Memorial qualifier having their suburb named. There are also teams listed simply as ' Blackhammer ' and ' Premier Men. ' So Why TF should a newcomer have to ask Who T F are they and Where T F do they come from ?

' Premier Men ' are actually Ponsonby. Nowadays a poofter's paradise but in the 1960s a haven for wharfies and hard men. When it was quite normal for the Kiwi rep team to have 4 or 5 Ponsonby wharfies like Bailey x 2, fa*gan, Snowden and McClennan in the backline alone ! Absolute sacrilege, with ' Blackhammer ' actually being the Manukau team. The place that produced greats like Dean Bell and his cousin Clayton Friend.

Imagine the horrors of one day having ' Blackhammer ' or ' Premier Men ' on the same page as prolific Fox winners like Pt Chevalier, Northcote, Mt Albert or Otahuhu ?

And you wonder about keeping it simple---like Ponsonby Ponies, Otahuhu Leopards, Manukau Magpies, Point ChevalierPirates, Mt Albert Lions et al.

THE 'WAHAHAHAHAHAS'

The NZ Warriors lost yet again yesterday, now 14th of 17 on the NRL ladder. Of course 'twas just last week that reassurance was given here that they'd be firing again from July, courtesy of coach Andrew Webster's awesome Uranus-Sun trines.

So while I was analysing the 2025+26 awesomes for Webster's assistant and Kiwis' coach Stacey Jones, I decided to consider the unawesomenessof S Jones' present. Yet another Ginormous Expletive. Currently S Jones is experiencing a very frustrating, angry and rare Mars v Midheaven by progression !

The good news ? This bad sh*t ends for S Jones in June.

GOODBYE JUMPS RACING

May 3

One of NZ racing's greatest spectacles, jumps racing will end next year.

Hurdles and steeplechases have been on death row for ages. The breeding industry hates them, because nobody's gonna buy the rellies of a plodding old jumper at next year's yearling sales. Speedsters are the go, so jumps racing has never got the promotion and stake increases it deserves.

The NZ TAB's new owner, Entain, also hates them. Jumps races, early in the programme, have never been great for betting turnovers. Which are going badly at the moment. The TAB have still not released their report on the 2022-23 season which finished last July ! An official audit of the TAB will happen in August.

So after 2025 there shall no longer be Great Northerns and Grand Nationals. The unique figure-8 steeples track at Trentham, which had its first contest 51 years ago this weekend, is to be replaced by a sports stadium.

Sad, but we have so many wonderful memories of jumping races, especially all of those certainties in the Great Northern Steeplechase over the Ellerslie hill. In fact plenty of certainties in jumps racing everywhere and we'd seldom bet on anything else between April and September when the 0900 number was operating.

Plenty of options, with Saturday usually having 2 jumps races in NZ'sNorth Island and 2 in Melbourne. Another 2 in the South Island on Sundays . Average field size about 7 or 8. And if the planets weren't favourable for the favourite or 2, the chance of a nice dividend. I wasn't too concerned about the dividends, just winning the race but we did get $19.70 from Norville Prince, $16.25 from Phantom Jay and Fleestone $14.65.

Racing programmes changed dramatically on bothsides of the Tasman about 15 years ago. The breeding industry started its plan to cull jumps racing and most of them got shifted from Saturdays to Sundays, and days with 5 or 6 jumps races. A lot harder for the Astrological method, so I changed the game plan to an irregular system that concentrates on longshots. The results speak for themselves:

Since 2019:22investments, 8 wins

Average win div $12.42 on a 36% winning strike rate.

and a big improvement on the days of small dividends in jumping races:

Since 2000:757 investments,253 wins.

Average win$4.03 on a 33 % winning strike rate.

Australian racing reached a new low at the iconic Warrnambool jumps meeting on Tuesday. There were 7 runners in the feature Brierly Steeplechase, not one ridden by an Australian-born !

Aaron Kuru representing NZ, a Frenchman and 5 from Ireland.

Sadly, the demise of jumps racing shall also see the disappearance of an amazing brand of human--the jumps rider. Fearless, brave and mad are among the descriptions of this rare breed. They are renowned for their excesses and often develop war veteran syndrome after retirement. Volumes could be written about partying with these characters in the 1970s and 80s when plenty of Marijuana was consumed.

A pair of straight-laced, catholic Brazilian ladies happened to meet one of the greatest jumps jockey party-animals about 20 years ago. When they were in Auckland having gap years from lawyer and accountant lives. And happened to be working with me as extras in a production like Outrageous Fortune or Shortland St. Theywondered about visiting a farm and seeing some countryside and animals ?

An ex-jumps jockey mate, doing home detention for drink-driving offences on his rural property, was phoned. He assured me that ' I'll always be here. ' We eventually located him in the barn, greeted with' Hey Donny, just in time for a King Kong ! '

Wearing an ankle bracelet, and sharing a Marijuana bong with another ex-jumps jockey. The Brazilian belles declined the offer but their wishes to see horses, cows, sheep and dogs and the countryside were granted. They were quite horrified when I later explained the relevance of the ankle bracelet.

THERE'S HOPE FOR THE WAHS

May 1

Those long-suffering fans of ' the Wahs ' are starting to fear that their emotional investment has been misplaced. Yet again.

Back on April 24 the NZ Warriors' dismal performanceswere being analysed, along with the ' slow autumn ' forecast for chief playmaker Shaun Johnson.

The next day they lost to bottom-placed, hitherto winless, Gold Coast Titans at home ! After conceding 27 unanswered points, and have gone from 10th to 12th on the NRL ladder. But there is no reason for Wah fans to start contemplating the razor blades or car exhaust !

As we know, only Astrological magnificence can provide the real I am Hope.While S Johnson is still risky in May, the coach has got some upcoming awesomeness, after his appearance last November !

' Webster, Andrew:

Great improvement from Uranus-Sun trine between July and Oct. More awesome Uranus trines in 2026, 2028, 2029.'

This man will really be getting the breaks and making the right decisions. With 2 very productive and fortunate 3-4 weeks phases between July and October. A time of birth for A Webster would reveal more, but there are great difficulties getting through the Warriors' security net. For some strange reason there are no more training sessions open to the public. For schoolboy teams to come and take notes, or fans to get hyped up for the next game.

So I can't just rock up and start yarning to players and coaching staff anymore. A shame, because professional sports persons are a lot smarter than arse-licking administrators and media slaves, and plenty have been fascinated by the great science. I would even inspire Andrew Webster with some recent feedback from a teenager, who got a free enlightenment last year after her mother had recommended so many clients.

Her older sister had that awesome Uranus-Sun trine last year, so I asked junior about the ' great improvement ' that had been forecasted: ' Oh, she graduated from uni and scored a job in Melbourne.'

A Webster's ' great improvement ' is a formality, but there's no guaranteehe'll score a job in Melbourne.

MELISSA LEE ' SPELLING '

April 29

The heading was clear exactly 366 days ago

MELISSA LEE FOR THE SPELLING PADDOCK

April 28, 2023

The ' spelling paddock ' had a veiled reference to Ms Lee's birth in the Oriental Year of the difficult-to-manage Fire Horse ( 1966 ). Culminating with her late entry into the November 2022 Annual Prophecies:

' Lee, Melissa:

Massive and unbelievable change for veteran polly with Uranus attacking her Sun and Mercury and Pluto suffocating Venus. Feb, May, June, July and Dec very crucial, with major reversals around March 024.'

Lee lost her Mt Albert seat in last October's election, narrowly enough to demand a recount. ' Very crucial Dec ' ended that bid but she did get in as a National List MP and gainedsome portfolios.

Those 'major reversals around March 024 ' supervised some erratic behaviour that pissed a lot of people off. Prime minister Luxon announced last week that the old mare waslosing her role as Media and Communications Minister. Indicating that she may not be mature enough for the job with ' Luxon claimed the decision had been made in light of the sector’s struggles and the need for a more senior minister to tackle them.'

F F S ? Melissa Lee turned 58 on February 8. Being born in the Oriental Pig Hours ( 9 -11 pm ) does give her a bit more humility and responsibility than otherFire Horses.

BRUCE SHARROCK ?

As previously noted, the 1966 Fire Horse doesn't cope with dull routine for very long. With a platinum example in NZ'sdeeply-troubled horse racing industry. NZTR's C E O Bruce Sharrock seems to be missing in action and avoiding the very seriousissues. Maybe his new love interest, in horsey speak ' a broodmare with foal at foot x 2,' is taking priority ?

At a recent board meeting, Sharrock opened up about his new relationship with a female South Island jockey. In respect of ' conflict of interest. ' Which could be dangerousif the new broodmare got involved in a drugs or horse cruelty scandal. But nobody protested. Not that any horse racing person could, for cronyism and the protected species are part of NZ racing's DNA. As shown with the recent, filthy Kurtis Pertab horse cruelty scandal.

In the meantime, there's enough major amendments on the horizon for B Sharrock to have him booked for a debut in the Annual Prophecies next November !

ELLERSLIE'S LATEST WORLD RECORD

April 26

Once upon a time gambling was regarded as evil.

Not everyone approved of its part in the ' rugby, racing and beer ' trilogy. Gamblers were seen as desperates, and many regarded the racetrack and TAB as havens for lowlifes

Long before great humans like Harry Chapin, Bachman Turner Overdrive and Jeff Beck were inspiring members of the Golden Generation. How inappropriate that their treble of awesome tunes on Magic Music FM last week would precede a TAB advertisem*nt with encouragement to ' Back Waitak ! '

Waitak was a racehorse, in some quarters touted as ' New Zealand's own, ' competing in a $5 million race, wayoverin Western Australia last Saturday ! Yet another sick trick, playing the support-the-nation card, as the NZ TAB'snew owner Entain is desperate to get everybody gambling. Waitak finished 5th.

Mirth attains another level when you consider the incredible promotion of such a perceived evil. In a nation with skyrocketing youth crime and a 53% school truancy rate etc. Amidst the national sadness of some 400 media puppets getting dumped last week, courtesy of media companies struggling to pay the bills. It's ' any port in a storm ' for advertising managers in these dark days, and the Entain zillions of $$$ are greatly appreciated.

I do not regardthe Champion Racing System ( above ) as gambling, simply investment on Astrological probability. We took a risk at Hellerslie last Saturday, recommending an each-way punt on a $26 shot. A profitable place dividend almost happened, but Rumeur missed 3rd by half the width of a pubic hair. Our first plunge since the $8.50 winner last October.

You need your arse kicked every so often, but my pain was quite minor compared to the majority of NZ's racing industry. The almighty Hellerslie racecourse, after the $55 million facelift/upgrade, had its 2nd consecutive mid-meeting abandonment !

There'd already been problems with 2 meetings in January,after 20 months off. The officials were babbling about roots andcoring and sand, and the perfect surface suddenly needing time ' to bed in.' A drainlayer mate had some logical theories, so ELLERSLIE TRACK DONALDED was declared here on January 31.

They did manage to complete 3 meetings in February and March, before the April 10 fixture collapsed after 3 races. Soonafter our Rumeur reversal last Saturday, the influence of Paul Simon was detected, and some ' slip sliding away ' in that race meant the meeting was called off. Soon after, that very drainlayer mate rang, from the Gold Coast races in Queensland, wanting to know WTF was wrong with Ellerslie ? Answered with ' You put the bloody curse on it.'

But we must always look at the wonderful side of Hellerslie, and it's great assistance to the Astrological movement. The World's first-ever television certainty ( Astrologically calculated ) was successfully declared there on Trackside Channel in February 1995. Same with the 1996 ( $7.80 ) winner of the track's legendary Great Northern Steeplechase, declared a certainty 3.5 weeks earlier. With Hellerslie hosting, in November 2017 on Melbourne Cup day, a winner that set the World record for long-range prophecy ! Declared 5 years, 4 months and 3 days in advance, with a $9.80 win dividend !

With Hellerslie very probably a world-record setter in its own right. The first track ever to have 2 consecutive meetingsabandoned mid-program because of track safety issues ? Wisely they've transferred their next for May 25, and have already started trying to fix what looks like an unfixable problem.

SHAUN JOHNSON'S ' Slow autumn '

April 24

With just 3 wins from 7, the NZ Warriors have slipped to 10th on the NRL ladder.

And their superstar playmaker has been having problems:

' Warriors halfback Shaun Johnson has been on a restricted workload while managing an Achilles injury. Coach Andrew Webster expects him to be fine to play the Gold Coast Titans in Auckland on Anzac Day on Thursday. But he has raised the prospect of resting Johnson in the near future, even if their opponents that week might take it the wrong way. '

To borrow a frequently used cliche from this site:' We are not surprised ' after his performance in last November's Annuals !

' Johnson, Shaun:

Slow autumn for rugby league gun from difficult solar progression and Saturn restrictions. April, May, Sept notable.'

Around 20 of last November's50 are looking very correct already. These amazing predictions encourage smart thinkers, but the snivelling, scowling sceptics get bitter and twisted. Deep down they know the amazing Astrological system is the only one that gets anything right. They know they've been sucked in by the palagi trash education and media systems. And spat out.

The scowlers have given up searching for a rare error. Personal attack is often their only retort, while forgetting that

“Blind belief in authority is the greatest enemy of truth.”

Albert Einstein

WHEN ISRAEL IS ' VULNERABLE '

April 22

The war between Iran and Israel is escalating rapidly, with warnings from NZ's MFAT

' The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has placed a 'Do Not Travel' advisory on Israel and 'strongly' advises all New Zealanders in Israel to leave when safe, a spokesperson says. '

We are not surprised ( I say that quite often these days ) after the revelations here just before Xmas !

WHEN ISRAEL IS VULNERABLE

' December 13

Little known, and seldom used is the great science's gem known as 'Weakness Astrology. '

When times of weakening from severe Pluto or Uranus etc attacks are selected for the 'target.' Because under these destructive aspects, the human makes bad decisions and takes wrong turns.Also including:

'Just imagine if war lords had the use of 'weakness Astrology.' Especially after I considered the natal chart of unpopularIsrael, a May 14, 1948 celebrator. Then considered part of the latest Annual Prophecies!

'Difficult Pluto v Sunattacks for April 20,21,22 birthdays. Chaotic Uranus-Sun issues for May 14-18 borns.'

And tothe Iranian or Hamas warlord with the best$$$offer, I would explain, after consulting Israel's own natal chart: How May, December and February 025 would have Israel very vulnerable, courtesy of erratic Uranus zooming over its Sun ! '

Further massive problems, as were also noted last December:Slow-moving Pluto, by progression, makes a rare, very negative square-connection to Israel's Sun in May 025. Serious reversals in 8th-House matters for Israel and the likelihood of many deaths.

Next check was Team Israel's coach. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, by remarkable coincidence, has erratic Uranus attacking his Mars, through July and October then May of next year ! Netanyahu shall be subject to considerable energy misappropriation and erratic behaviour.Very notable that this vulnerable Mars is placed in his 9th House of overseas activity and foreigners.

With another serious, unrelated aspect causing much trouble for Netanyahu in June 2025 as well. Meaning it's gonna be a very exciting next 12 months for enemies of Israel.

THE MASSIVE METH BILL

19 April

'Twas 48 years ago last week that an arresting officer made a very profound statement.

In respect of a small amount of Marijuana: ' If they discovered alcohol tomorrow, pal, that would be illegal as well. '

8 years later, advertising alcohol on television became legal ! And the floodgates of escapism burst open. So you can only laugh at the depression of New Zealand at the moment. It hasn't been in such a hopeless, despondent state for about 80 years.

And Marijuana is still illegal of course. What's even funnier are the stats around methamphetamine use. Wastewater analysis estimated that NZers in 2023 were spending $1.4 million on methamphetamine daily !

Unfortunately the preferred Marijuana can stay in the body for a month and more. Very risky for random drug tests, so methamphetamine becomes a big option, as it's out of the system in 2 or 3 days. So you must wonder if any cops of today think like the April 1976 arrester, about Marijuana v alcohol. Although these days they epitomise those who go through life as trotting horses wearing blinkers.

And have to abide by the ' law of the police, ' which the rebellious Ross Meurant explains, always overrules the ' law of the land.' Fighter Meurant, once a high-ranking cop and MP, has published several books. He stresses that the ' law of the police ' is paramount, where they automatically have to back their colleagues and superiors, and tell lies when necessary.

Lest we not forget that the brains of regimented, blinkered policeman aren't really made for Marijuana use and mental expansion. But you do wonder if they could actually decide that life would be a lot easier if they didn't have to deal with so many drunks ?

And ifMarijuana was legal, there wouldn't be many gang-controlledtinny houses. And the cops might start eating into NZ'sannual methamphetamine bill of approximately $511 million !

NZ RACING'S 5-YEAR PLAN

April 17

It's to self-destruct, actually.

As we know, the rapidly declining industry is dependent on bettors losing their money to survive. We also know that betting turnovers had dropped so much that NZTR has borrowed from its reserves to prop up stakes in the last 2 seasons.

Foreign betting giant Entain took over the NZ TAB last June with further prop-ups and a commitment for 5 years. Then NZ thoroughbred racing comes off Life Supportand has to fend for itself. It won't be able to, with betting turnovers continually decreasing to a very embarrassing stage.

Racing authorities stopped publishing turnover figures because of the embarrassment. One of my informants has sent me some copies of the recent TAB figures and dark glasses were needed. So much red ink ! Small increases in black and any ideas about prestige races and the best horses attracting more betting have been totally crash-tackled.

Horrific examples at the heavily-promoted Karaka Millions race meeting at Ellerslie in January. With $4,450,000 stakes on offer, at NZ's richest-ever race meeting and the country's best racehorses were supposed to inspire great betting turnovers.

They didn't. Only $9,524,300 was outvested on the TAB, meaning that every $1 of prize money only inspired $2.14 in betting. Of the 5 NZ gallops meetings that week, the Ellerslie edition had by far the worst return rate. Midweek Matamata's 10 races included 6 for maidens with a paltry $250,000 in stakes on offer. But $1,634,900 went through the TAB, meaning every $1 of prize money at mediocre Matamata generated $6.54 in betting turnover.

Even funnier is the industry still awaiting the TAB report for the 2022-23 season, that ended last July ! And the six-monthly summary for the current season hasn't appeared, for obvious reasons.

Consider all the stuffed racing surfaces. With NZ racing also reaching a moral all-time low over the hideously ugly Pertab whipping affair. But this super-cruel individual got special treatment, because he trains for some important people---like the upcoming chairman of NZTR. In Monopoly speak, Pertab didn't ' go directly to jail, ' he was allowed to ' pass Go ' a few more times, like having about a dozen runners racing or trialling in the fortnight he was allowed to disperse his 20-horse team.

Nothing's gonna suddenly get normal NZers interested in such an unattractive and very corrupt industry. In 4 years time, stake monies will be returning to the abysmal pre-2023 levels and the once noble industry will become merely a breeding and pre-training place for Australia and Asia.

MIKE MORONEY'S ' GAP YEAR '

April 15

The Greek physician Hippocrates (460– 370 BC) is regarded as the father of modern medicine and he was a staunch believer in the oldest of sciences. ' A physicianwithout the use of Astrology is a fool not a physician, ' was one of his memorable claims.

The Great Man is upstairs, with his mates Aristotle, Plato and co, marvelling at his Otahuhu protégé’s latest contribution to Astrological magnificence. From last November's Annual Prophecies !

' Moroney, Mike:

Gap year recommended for the triangular-shaped horse trainer with Pluto-Moon emotional turbulence and the unhealthy, energy-sapping Neptune-Mars attack. Feb, April, July, Aug, Sept, Dec crucial, then Uranus-Mercury chaos in 2025. '

Melbourne-based, horribly overweight Mike has been resembling death warmed up for ages, and was admitted to hospital just over a week ago !

Mike's got Astrological form, too, asper aDecember 2000 Truth newspaper column. Predicting that he would soon become the next member of the fictitious Matamata Bachelors' Association. A month earlier M D Moroney had trained first and 3rd in the Melbourne Cup.

But Pluto would be restructuring his home and family situation dramatically in 2001, courtesy of Pluto transiting his Sun in the 4th House of residential matters. Identical happened to the now King Charles in 1992, with the month of his separation from Princess Diana forecast over a year earlier ! 2 weeks after the Truth article, news broke that Mike Moroney's wife had run off with another woman !

KURT O' NINE TAILS

Don't fool yourselves. Astrology is amazing and just keeps on delivering. Unbelievable how the palagi trash media system continues to ignore this magnificence, especially in an age of so many social problems. Mental health is very low priority among horse racing people, which was obvious after the super-cruel horse whipping we reported down on April 8.

For which the vicious Matamata trainer Kurtis Pertab only received 4 months disqualification. And there were people who thought this very disturbed person had been unfairly treated ! His mother, Tineke Pertab even submitted an entry for the Liar of the Year award, when on April11 she accused the Racing Integrity Board of making errors in the transcript typing !

' These are not the facts they are incorrect and currently being amended, ' she claimed on social media !

There have been no changes to the RIB report of April 5, meaning there are 2 options: The typists have taken industrial action, or that deranged woman is in need ofpsychiatric assistance. She wouldn't be intelligent enough to understand Astrology.

Go have a read on April 8 and tell me that super-cruel Kurtis doesn't need to be locked up.

CHAMPION WINX'S WOFTAM

April 12

' Twas 37 years ago this week or last that my world was shattered.

After 3.7 years as a racing journo, NZ Herald told me I was no longer required. I had been planning to stay there forever, so cushy was the job. Just a week before that I had been explaining to a bridesmaid at a mate's wedding that I had no desire to expand my horizons, as she had done with recent lives in Enlgand, Scotland and France.

I enjoyed working 2 days a week at the races, betting and drinking, and also getting By D C Murray on the racing page every day, which made me famous. This week I would have been writing about champion galloper Winx's daughter, as the racing world salivates over her $10 million purchase at the yearling sales in Sydney.

In lieu I was acting on the suggestion of a learned young lady friend that would ultimately lead to amazing revelations about Winx junior.The 19 year-old genius thought her Indian mum needed some further Astrological enlightenment to lift her spirits. Ma was very impressed.

Then the genius' mum wondered about afriend, X who'd also had the Astrological experience. A kind of disaster magnet who was never doing anything logical. Unfortunatelythere are many fated to never settle into a simple, productive life. With our formulae for gamblers, substance abusers etc and those with anger management issues or attitude and employment problems . I explained that X was just the opposite to her and her 3 gifted daughters, being without the same awesome Astrological positivity.

DAVID ELLIS' MILESTONE

In fact X was unblessedenough to be born with a similar Mars affliction to Saperavi ! These Mars afflictions cause major problems in maintaining positive energy and are frequently found in the charts of drunks and lie tellers. Saperavi, of course, is the most expensive racehorse ever to compete in NZ ! 2004-born ' Sapper ' cost David Ellis $2.2 million and was retired young after problems in maintaining positive energy. But he did earn $11k.

So after this lady departed, verycontent, I decided to Astrologically analyse the highlight of this week's horse racing fraternity-- Winx's foal selling for that $10 million. Then a giant expletive. Yet another serious Mars affliction that would severely hinder the maintenance of positive energy !

Winx's foal had Mars ( Gemini 22 ) and Neptune ( Pisces 23 ) clashing at birth ! Gemini and Pisces are enemies. Like Libra and Aries, providing a tight Sun-Chiron opposition that don't like success. A third negative involving Saturn and Uranus, with only one positive---Mercury ( Virgo 26 ) and Pluto ( Capricorn 26 ). Very good for communicating and writing, quite common in media lifers with no otherskills.

While Virgo and Capricorn are soulmates, Virgo is also an enemy of Gemini and Pisces. Which means via the degree-a-year Solar Arc method, the legend's daughter shall be having her Mercury very confused by nebulous Neptune at age 3, then attacked by aggressive Mars at age 4 .With both terms guaranteeingmajor problems in maintaining positive energy, andanother difficult Neptune transit inspiring laziness in those seasons as well !

But as we know so well, only the greatest of sciences can lighten the dark tunnel. My genius mate's mum is so looking forward to some upcoming, awesome Pluto trines, which puts her in the same category as Winx junior. Who shall be receiving an awesome Pluto-Venus trine--- around age 6.

Something to look forward too, and an aspect that frequently supervises marriage or motherhood with humans. With her problems in maintaining positive energy, Winx junior won't achieve much on the racetrack, and the Pluto positive is likely to supervise her attaining motherhood.

You have wonder about an imbecile spending $10 million on a horse, especially when most of the high-priced yearlings have been major flops on the track. The world record holder is theUSA's iconicThe Green Monkey. A$16 millionyearling purchase in 2006, his 3 race failures managed to recoup just $10k!

WOFTAM ? Some clues--- the words ' waste, time, money ' and another starting with ' F ' are included.

' RUDDERLESS YOUNG MEN '

April 10

One of the highlightsof this awesome, predicted recession has been the role of revolutionary Pluto in conservative Capricorn.

When previewing Pluto's stay in Capricorn between March 2008 and November 2024, the general weakening of the male was emphasised. Including:

' But the scary piece relates to the massively changing role of the father figure, as the family unit slowly disappears and marriage becomes just another episode in life's great soap opera for many.
Naturally there will be a massive increase in the numbers of rudderless young men lacking direction, with no-one to guide and teach them in time-honoured Kiwi male tradition how to drink beer properly and the correct way to watch a rugby game.'

Yet Another Gold-medal winning prophecy ! And these ' rudderless young men ' have provided so much amusem*nt recently, with their ram raids, robberies and the amazing figures last year of only 47% of school pupils being regular attenders. ( More like 3% in Mangere, bro' ! )

Obviously they don't have much faith in New P Land's system. Earning a gang patch and selling drugs has far more appeal, and could you blame them ? They don't see much future as pitiful wage-earners, and there's a lot of money to be made in drugs. Gangs are big on brotherhood and the family, too, with strict codes and strong leadership.

There's nothing wrong with selling drugs either, in a nation that promotes alcohol so heavily. We've noted research from various countries that conclude with alcohol being worse than any of the drugs. And the revelations here beneath Exposing The Kirwan Con back on March 1:

'No amount of alcohol is "good for you". That's the message from the Heart Foundation as it releases new guidelines for Kiwis about alcohol.'

Poor New P Land, which can claim Sir John Kirwan, the world's first-ever ' mental health advocate ' to promote his own brand of alcohol ! Kirwan is actually part of thegreat male problem in cultural wasteland, when normal people are taught to worship cry babies like him and that gumboot joker with his I am hope campaign. And those ' counsellors ' cunningly contrived to replace parents !

The highly corrupt and dysfunctional media are turning anything that's been a broadcaster into a ' radio star. ' Which means that drunks, depression sufferers and unfit parents are slowly replacing the great role models the Golden Generation grew up with.

There's skyrocketing youth crime statistics, and we must wonder about payback time for a sick nation that tolerates this sick media and its promotion of violence. Like the Herald's ugly WATCH ! list l mock so often.

Plenty of laughter here until the stupid ' pakuranga hunts ' of New P Land come to their senses and legalise Marijuana. And start recognising Astrology, the only system that gets anything right !

B McCULLUM'S TRAINER DISQUALIFIED FOR CRUELTY

April 8

This awesome, predicted recession is taking its toll on many.

We've reported the very unacceptable behaviours of some high-profile horse trainers in the Waikato recently--- the married trainer sprung rooting a stablegirl----the drug rapists whose $40K silence money offer has been rejected---the photographer's harasser who spewed his guts in a hired limousine---the public bar urinator barred for 6 months from his favourite watering hole !

Now we have the bloke, who trained for cricketing great Brendon McCullum ONZM, getting disqualified for 4 months aftersome unbelievable animal cruelty ! Kurtis Pertab, who won a race with Stokes, named by McCullum after his English captain Ben Stokes:

' The Respondent was seen riding a horse that was out of control. He was witnessed trying to correct his horse assertively while walking off the track. He was seen to be attempting to manage it and in doing so, struck it about the head twice with a whip.

He was then witnessed walking the horse into the tie ups beside the swimming pool, where the horse is heard receiving a further beating, before being walked back out to the track where the Respondent has continued to beat the horse with his whip.

During this period the Respondent was witnessed striking the horse – with a whip over the head a number of times, with the horse being in a stressed state.

The Respondent was then further witnessed in the tie up area becoming very agitated with the horse. He was witnessed striking it excessively with the whip around the side of the belly, flank and across the shoulder, continuing for probably a good couple of minutes and estimated to have been 10 to 20 strikes of the whip.

All four witnesses have deemed Kurtis Pertab’s action in handling the horse that morning as excessive and unnecessary.'

Racing people are generally shocked by the leniency of the punishment. But there's also a rapidly-diminishing, incestuous racingfamily, desperate to keep members from dropping out or relocating to Aussie. Lest we never forget that getting the edge, by fair means or foul, is part of horse racing's DNA. The training greats of yesteryear would use anything to get an advantage before drug testing was introduced.

They still try and beat the drug testing system, without the consent of the animals,of course. We've also had tales on the extreme cruelties ofTakanini's Blinker Bash Bob and a certain horse-bashing blacksmith with his cattle prodder, and the widespread illegal jigger use. When ' The Dodger ' of Hamiltonwas the go-to man for cheating horses and slow barrier jumpers who needed some shock treatment.

Plenty of starvation stories too. Like all crime, horse cruelties will always happen, especially in the industry so riddled with debt, depression and despondency.

VOMIT THAT COST $1500

April 5

The story we first broke in December about the drug rapists of Crimbridge racing has gained a few more chapters.

The 2 ' group one-winning trainers ' can now be known as ' grope one ' winners. Consider ' Mr Libra ' and his performance around Karaka sales time in January. He was involved in a promotional photo shoot. When the female photographer had finished with Mr Libra, he had a request:

He suggested photographing her without her clothes on ! She was very upset, made a complaint, and NZ Bloodstock boss man Sir Peter Vela was furious. Even more so with a big bill for car cleaning that Mr Libra caused. After getting extremely drunk at Karaka one evening, officials decided to send him to his hotel in a VIP limousine.

Bad move NZB. Mr Libra spewed his guts, resulting in some frantic phone calls. Someone has to clean this hired limousine before it gets returned later this morning ! A team of 3 Indian car cleaners located in Auckland started the 3-hours job at 2 a.m and charged NZ Bloodstock $1500 for the vomit removal !

The other grope one-winning drug rapist has a drinking problem as well. He was recently barred for 6 months from a very popular Crimbridge bar--- for urinating in front of patrons !

Lest we never forget that horsey people rate humans on the number of ' group one ' winners they've amassed. With these pinnacles comes a kind of immunity, and sins are easily absolved.
