CAMBRIDGE DRUG RAPE UPDATE

December 29

Down on December 6 we broke the news of a recent drug rape in Crimbridge. 2 licensed trainers and a stable manager v a 19 year-old stablegirl. A video went viral, but NZ racing's law enforcers took no action, as usual.

The Too Hard Basket is an important part of NZ racing's DNA. Recalling a weird quote that  then racecourse John McKenzie provided me for a Truth article back in 1996. When he was interrogated about his ignoring a spate of stableboy/girl and wife bashings by high-profilers in theTakanini region. McKenzie explained racing's need to ' protect our rising stars ' !

So an angry mother took the latest Crimbridge matter to the police.The video made it to Hong Kong and there were some very unhappy people. Unlike NZ, business dealings with drug rapists are deemed unethical in their culture. ' Instructions ' ensured a cash settlement was made and the complaint has been withdrawn.

Nearly 20 years back a 15 year-old Te Akau employee was videoed performing ' mouth to south ' on a jockey. That went viral and the employee's mother went mental and then to the police and racecourse inspectors. It was settled with the wet bus ticket punishment, which is also part of racing Matamata's DNA.

Case history of the renamed Methametha includes the pack rape of a 14 year-old girl by a dozen racing youths in 1975. $15K was donated to a trust fund for the victim, by a future NZ Racing Hall of Fame member, in order to save a few arses. The not-so-notable arses got blacklisted after a very secret inquiry.

With December 2023 also providing a crack up involving another desperately stupid, high-profile trainer in the Waikato region. He was shagging a stablegirl, ' about 40 years younger than him '   in the office when another employee sauntered in ! The ' 40 years ' was an overstatement, because the stress of horse training has made him look a lot older.

Things are a bit ' murky ' in the household and the missus is having second thoughts about a possible move to Melbourne. From whence some festive memories led me to other nasty discoveries.

MALE RAPES MALE

Christmas Day, 1977 was spent in Mordialloc, where I was relishing the experiences of Melbourne horse racing. There was a small evening gathering at a friend's house, and a Cannabis joint was circulating, just as the legendary aboriginal jockey Darby McCarthy arrived.Dressed very casually, carrying a small dog, with his girlfriend Anna, the ex-wife of a nephew of USA baseball legend Joe Dimaggio.

With ' Aaaaah, McCarthy times his run to perfection ! ' Darby had a long drag of the joint, then with ' and before I forget, ' told us to punt a 2 year-old he was riding for Caulfield trainer Geoff Murphy tomorrow. A name like Tiebreaker ? and a $4 winner, so I tried a  google search for verification. The trainer's name introduced a major horror story.

Incredible tales of young boys being abused and raped in the stables in the 1970s. The initiations that set many on the path to serious drug addiction:

December 28

As if there hasn't been enough amusement from the out-of-control youths of K.I.W.I. land. Notably the skyrocketing crime stats, the great wastage on counsellors and the Gumboot failures. Today:

Remuera home invasion: Police arrest five aged 11 to 13, man taken to hospital

THAT  54% TRUANCY

December 27

One of 2023's many highlights was the incredible rise in youth crime.

Epitomized by a clip of the peelers chasing Otara youths on their trail bikes. Uncatchable among the trees and lanes of Ngati Otara Park, one peeler vainly giving chase on foot, then hurling his long baton in desperation !

Epitomizing the frustrations of the average K.I.W.I. They just can't work it out, especially with the almost nightly ram raids that were keeping us amused in winter. Currently NZ has an horrific school attendance rate of around 46 %, with variations, --' Nah, it'd be about 5% in Mangere, bro' ----and there shall come the day when today's ' scholars ' shall be making the dumb decisions for their seniors !

With average Keen Interest Without Intelligence blindly donating, even during the recession, to the Gumboot mob. To pay for counsellors who are supposedly gonna stop all those kids getting depressed and topping themselves As I celebrate a decade since an epic exchange of ideas !

In December 2013 I tweeted ' mental health advocate ' and Gumboot founder Mike King with the logical suggestion about Astrology. Having done thousands of Astrological enlightenments and discovered formulae for ' depression, ' there would be many benefits for confused kids from the wonderful science, so recommended by the great Hippocrates 2600 years ago. I did think he might be serious about solving problems.

Has it made you into a millionaire bro ? " was the reply.

Weird answer, but I merely suggested that an enlightenment would help understand his depression.

What a dickhead thing to say Don. You don't know me mate, what makes u think I'm depressed? "

Poor old Mikey, merely part of the New World Order plan to create a nation of cry babies. Elsewhere he claims " I'm a drug addict, an alcoholic and I've had self-esteem issues for most of my life. "

Thousands of enthusiastic clients have been stunned in the initial 10 minutes of the great enlightenment-- the character and past analyses and old Mikey would have learned about the serious happiness blocker, Saturn anti his Venus that brings so many disasters in close relationships !

Sad that he couldn't spare 10 minutes, but over-hyped ' experts ' are always fearful of truths that might knock them off the perch. Obviously the pathetic fellow doesn't want any solutions, he just wants to be on stage. He's in sync with the incredible 54% of truants who've had brain seizures and don't want to learn either !

And you think of all those $$$$$ of K.I.W.I donations to the Gumboot mob that have been totally wasted, with the youths of today more out of control than ever. Poor old K.I.W.I. 

There shall come a time when today's teenagers are in charge, and a referendum on primary and secondary education. 46%  for, 54% against ?

GEORGE ORWELL TROPHY

December 25

The George Orwell Trophy is an innovation to recognise prolific promoters of the gambling industry. And to honour the man's great wisdom:

FOOTBALL, beer, and above all, gambling, filled up the horizon of their minds. To keep them in control was not difficult

That’s a direct quote from Orwell’s hauntingly poignant 1984 in which ‘Big Brother’, the ‘double speaking’ powerful elite, destroyed the personal freedom of the masses.

Last Melbourne Cup day, even the once conservative NZ Herald was full of TAB adverts urging people to have a bet. Not surprising, considering the destruction of the staunch old bulletin I worked for in the 1970s. Not so much news now, more propaganda aimed at dividing and distracting the dumb folk, and ultimately wrecking families. Which is easier when the head of the household has a gambling problem.

My journalism training in 1973 included newsworthiness, and you could think that such would include early-warning discoveries for things like cancer, depression or national disasters. And we know how the media despise Astrology, in spite of the recent stunners on Australia ( Jan 2, 2020 ) and the late 2023 recession for NZ that was forecast nearly 2.5 years ago !

So there could only be another triumphant chandelier punch to celebrate our mutual dislike, when NZ Herald's ' WUM ' Currie delivered the sensational news 4 days ago: 1000+ media persons around NZ will soon be made redundant !

The Herald's advertising manager was a finalist for the supreme award. But it was a Trackside Channel presenter named Pip, acting like a drip, who claimed the George Orwell Trophy after a stellar performance on Melbourne Cup day. Ms Pip Morris was going full bore, encouraging people to open a TAB account and get a free $20 bet. ' Tell anyone you know,' she said. ' Your friends, your aunty, anyone.'

We must remember that horse racing is hardly an essential industry, and it needs losing gamblers to survive. We ain't much help there, with the Don Murray Racing System more an investment on Astrologically-calculated facts than a gamble. With an average win dividend of $12.42 on a 38% winning strike rate in the last 5 years, our OCR is reasonably impressive.

Poor old Pip just has to do what her employer orders. But she did overlook one important factor. Melbourne Cup day was ' benny day ' and she could also have been urging solo parents and pensioners to ' fill up the horizon of their minds ' as well and squander their fortnightly earn on the TAB instead of the pokie machines !

May your Christmas day be wonderful and full of laughter and love.

THOSE  PISSHEAD POLLIES

December 22

One of 2023's many highlights were  the drunken Maori sheilas in important positions.

MP Kiri Allan got drunk, pranged her car and resisted arrest. Wellington mayor Tory Whanau's drunken behaviour in restaurants and bars made  headlines as well.  Allan's terrible relapse was actually predicted by Astrology.

They're just 2 of the unfortunate humans who grew up with alcohol advertising on TV from 1984. Obviously a normal part of life, the happy ' red-blooded, blood brothers but we all got different mothers ' in the Lion Red beer advert. Following the misery gutses reading out the gloomy news bulletins, happy drunks were a breath of fresh air.

With another recent, gloomy-for-some revelation:

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. And whenever a university does extensive research, alcohol is always deemed to be worse than any drug, including upside down b !

There was a sensational announcement from a tearful, then Auckland mayor John Banks, way back in October 2010. After his son's friend had overdosed on alcohol in a skulling competition:

Making a personal statement to the court, Banks said that if anything could be learnt from the death of this "beautiful boy" it was that binge drinking was wrong.

Thanks to Banks. Learning keeps us young !

As is customary, on April 9 each year, I shall have a special remembrance bong to celebrate yet another major declaration 48 years earlier.

'Twas on Friday, April 9, 1976 that an arresting officer, over enough Murrayjuana for 3 joints, claimed that ' If alcohol was discovered tomorrow, pal, it would be illegal as well. '

8 years later alcohol became worthy of heavy promotion. 48 years later Murrayjuana is still illegal. And  the upside down b epidemic is skyrocketing, with NZ amongst the world leaders per capita !

A serious problem I discuss with Chinese swimming pool acquaintances: China man bring P to Kiwi land and Kiwi like so much he have to sell house to support habit and China man say thank you Kiwi, much easier for me to buy nice house. China man is smart man. (They all agree )

 May the P epidemic continue, until NZ wakes up and legalises Murrayjuana.

.

THIS AWESOME RECESSION

December 20

What an amazing way to celebrate another awesome year.

Last week NZ was officially declared to be in a recession. After we announced it here, with  December 2023 crucial, nearly 2.5 years ago !

There have been frequent references to the ' late year, liquidations and lay-offs looming '  that are so happening everywhere. And a very well-connected fellow reckoned yesterday that 15,000 public servants are waiting to get made redundant. Following the discoveries in mid-2021 that Jupiter-Sun, Mars-Pluto and Saturn-Moon attacks by solarc arc or progression would be wrecking NZ between October 2023 and March 2024 !

 Hard on the heels of Australia's June 2020 recession announcement, that was covered in the phenomenal 2 years-of-great-destruction forecast for the land of wombats and wallabies on January 2 that year !

Real sad, though, how Astrology has dropped off the media radar. 20 to 30 years ago there was plenty of TV and radio interest and appearances. Then the world turned nasty, under a new media system. No more investigative journalism either, since the rulers don't want people digging and delving and discovering.

Because the magnificence of Astrology teaches us to be individuals, and cut corners, gaining advantages that we shouldn't and being prepared for catastrophes.  Anybody who isn't moved by the amazing predictions has to have serious mental illness issues.

Consider the Greatest Of All Time, from men like Wayne Bennett, Sir Graham Henry and Konrad Hurrell etc to pathetics like Prince Harry and Martin Devlin.

Wonder about the buzz day labelled for cricketer Martin Crowe, nearly 11 months later--- when he would score 193 not out in a national championship fixture ?

Or the 5 years, 4 months and 3 days notice given about horse trainer Wayne Hillis' certainty day---when his sole runner bolted in with a $9.80 win dividend ?

You may even wonder about forces above, beyond our control, and a wonderful science that's been suppressed by tyranny.

LUXON TAKING STRESS LEAVE

December 18

' THOSE  WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITIES  FOR GRINNY WINNIE '

 was that headline back on November 29 that definitely deserves further honours.

In which we recalled some October 11, pre-election advice to Winston Peters re his upcoming difficulties:

' Soak up the suffering of Pluto v your Venus and await the new and wonderful career/lifestyle opportunities that Uranus shall start bringing to your Jupiter around mid-December. '

Not a bad prediction, eh, considering the announcement on December 12 ?

' Winston Peters is once again acting Prime Minister - this time just two weeks’ into the new Government - as Christopher Luxon travels to Australia for his daughter’s graduation.'

We had also noted the 2 awesome Uranus trines to Winnie's Jupiter, peaking in early January and mid-February. And wondered if these promotions might have something to do with another appearance last November:

' Luxon, Christopher:

Polly in for major stress and setbacks from Pluto attacking his Mars. Best to be bed-ridden in Jan, July, Nov, but 2025 has much improvement from Neptune and Uranus assisting that Mars position.'

We also noted recently that Luxon's ambitious, dutiful Capricorn Moon is renowned for hiding dark secrets. Like what he says is often not the truth, and you gotta wonder about 2 weeks off for a graduation ceremony ? As an anti-Cannabis christian he epitomises ' palagi trash ' and is already getting sick and tired of his dealings with a couple of Maori fullas like Winnie and Seymour. So Luxon is having stress leave.

Not that it really matters. But it is going to be fun monitoring Luxutive through ' Jan, July and Nov ' with the high probability that he'll hoist the white flag and run away.

FOOTNOTE: For the undereducated, Astrological greenhorns, scroll to December 8 and case histories Lux Flakes will be emulating in 2024.

CAMBRIDGE DRUG RAPE UPDATE

December 15

One of life's many awesomes is plundering the decomposing racing industry.

As yet another very profitable racing year ends, with just 6 investments for my loyal clientele, and 2 winners returning $26.00 and $8.50. The industry's hatred of the awesome Astrological system has been well documented. They continue to tell lies about certainties and cowardly commentator George Simon still hasn't come clean about the original Trackside Channel ' certainty ' nearly 29 years ago !

Consequently I've had to address the industry's badly-balanced journalism. Down on December 6 we broke the news of Crimbridge's latest ugly, the drug rape of a 19 year-old  stud employee by 2 licensed trainers and a stable manager. The victim's grandmother is a Group One-winning trainer and her parents took the matter to the police.

One trainer, in his 40s, has a policy when employing female jockeys: ' If they want to ride for me, they have to root me.

There's a video of the event which has gone viral. ' It's 10 times worse than what Matty Cameron did,' a viewer claimed. ( Licensed jockey Cameron was stripped of his racing licence in the wake of a conviction for indecent assault. He was sentenced to 90 hours’ community work and ordered to pay $900 to the victim, in the Hamilton District Court after pleading guilty to the booze-fuelled assault. When he crawled into the bed of a heterosexual couple and started giving the sleeping male unwanted manual relief. )

A prominent industry figure known as  ' the fat cunt ' advised the Crimbridge drug rapists to ' Deny, deny, deny.' He's got history, too, after seducing his daughter's 15 year-old schoolmate in the Te Akau region. This victim blew the whistle and earned $30K in hush money.

Fate had me meeting this victim many years later, and hearing a hilarious tale about the then 40 year-old seducer's ' smallest cock in history.' Fate also brought me an Astrological client, who'd been at school with the 14 year-old victim of the pack rape by a dozen Matamata racing industry workers. 

Reminding me of information received from one of then stablehand Michael Moroney's family. Sad fact: 3 members of NZ Racing's Hall of Fame are  persons of interest and could assist with inquiries.

Along with Karma, fate is amazing, especially for introducing me to an Astrologeress in Cricklewood, London in 1981. When I realised that Astrology could predict winners, my interest in horse racing was rekindled, with December 2023 celebrating 38 years since the Astrological system was first shared with the public as a tip sheet. 

And performing as well as ever, with 8 winners from  just 21 investments since 2019 began !
 

Blanco Bay $5.50, Anarchy $18.00, Winning Ways $4.70, Invisible Spirit $3.80, Concert  Hall $5.60, Opaea Joe $27.40, So The Fox $26.00, Livid Sky $8.50.

The plundering shall continue, naturally, with our  possibilities for 2024 including  10 Australian-based personnel and more hot days for Jim Collett and Stephen Autridge, trainers of  So The Fox and Livid Sky respectively.

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. Very successfully used by an American-born entrepreneur/lawyer on a business rival in Ireland.

One of the worst decisions I ever made was under a Pluto-Sun attack. When I was persuaded not to retire as an unbeaten mixed-netball player at age 55. I still retired unbeaten after the next game, but with a bruised achilles that meant no sport for 3 months !

Weakness Astrology was also used to assist the Auckland Warriors in their early years. In a Truthsport column, players in rival teams under difficult aspects on game day would be noted. Many send-offs or hobble-offs, with notable injuries to Matthew Ridge, Ian Roberts and players like Jarrod McCracken, Tony Iro and Gary Freeman ( twice ) etc getting marched on ' unhappy ' days.

Our favourite place for ' weakness Astrology ' is horse racing, of course. When difficult planetary aspects are affecting rival trainers and jockeys in certain races, especially where the TAB favourites are concerned. Eliminating them produces choice dividends for us, with not a single 1-1 favourite in our recent roll of honour !

Since 2019: 21 investments, 8 wins, with an average win dividend of  $12.42 on a 38% winning strike rate.

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

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

And to the Iranian or Hamas warlord with the best $$$ offer, I would explain how May, December and February 025 would have Israel very vulnerable courtesy of erratic Uranus zooming over its Sun.

' Does history have any precedents of this ? ' A Sheikh or Shah might ask.  So I would demonstrate how Uranus ' zoom-overs 'supervised the 2022 turmoil for All Blacks coach Ian Foster, and Mark Zuckerberg losing a few zillion $$$ !

This Sun sits in Israel's 8th House, a placement that has much ado with regeneration and self-improvement, deeper meanings, other people's money and death.

Israel shall also have erratic Uranus attacking its Mars ( energy ) position between June 025 and March 026, also Neptune confusing its Jupiter between March 024 and October 025, with the phase including one of the most destructive progressions ever.

Separately, slow-moving Pluto makes a rare, very negative square-connection to Israel's Sun in May 025. Very serious reversals in 8th-House matters for Israel.

This under-fire Sun also has rulership of House 11, the domain of friends, societies, groups and ambitions. Humans in general, so the obvious conclusion for May 2025 would be multiple deaths in a very weakened Israel.

PAEDO FILES: ALAN JONES

December 11

' Long considered one of the most influential and formidable figures in Australia, Alan Jones is now facing accusations of using his position of power to prey on multiple young men, engaging in indecent assaults and inappropriate behaviour without their consent. The renowned broadcaster and former Wallabies coach, 82, vehemently denies the allegations.'

The dirty old bastard has been vehemently denying allegations for probably 50 years. Down on September 29 there were some ripper tales of Australia's hideous paedo network. When Kerry Packer  had a blackmail threat from Alan Jones,  who'd been busted for little boy activities in France in 1984. Kerry had to pull strings with the French authorities to get Jonesy released from jail, otherwise Jonesy was gonna blow the whistle on Kerry's own paedophile activities !

Some Australian members of the original Auckland Warriors told me about Alan Jones, when coaching Balmain, and his liking for discussing the day's game with young players while they were taking a shower !

' On 6 December 1988, Jones was arrested in an underground public toilet on Broadwick Street in the Soho area of London. He was taken to the Mayfair police station and charged with 'outraging public decency' and 'committing an indecent act'. Jones' friends rushed to his support, and when the case was heard in the Marlborough Street Magistrates' Court the next day The Crown withdrew the more serious charge, with Jones pleading not guilty to the lesser charge of committing an indecent act. The authorities ultimately did not present any evidence to support either charge, and the second charge was also later dropped, with Jones' lawyers winning £70 in costs. '

The Astrological: Of 12 April, 1941 arrival, Annal Al has Sun, Mercury and Venus in Aries. Very common in broadcasting and school teaching, Jones' initial career. A natural for new challenges and adventures and not recommended for ' until death to us part.' To Jonesy's credit he never married, which would be even more not-recommended with his Moon in Scorpio !

 Scorpion Mooners plunge into the dark more than others, with sex and drugs often involved in the big downer.Showbiz notables  born with such include Charlotte Dawson, Rod Stewart, Liz Hurley, Michael Hutchense, Paula Yates, Snoop Dogg and Princess Caroline of Monaco. Also royal paedo Prince Andrew.

Horse racing is laden with Scorpio Mooners, and it seems to suit their depressions. Where hero goes to zero very quickly and a racehorse's nose can be life-changing. Cathy Autridge, Stephen Marsh, Paul Moroney, Lisa Cropp, Sir Mark Todd, Graeme Forbes, Chris Gibbs, Laura Cheshire and Brian J Smith are some NZ-racing personnel renowned for their descents into the darkness.

Anal Al's got Astrological form, too, after a phenomenal performance from the November 2019 Annual Prophecies:

' Jones, Alan:  

Aust broadcaster and Scorpio Moon possessor getting extremely restructured from transiting Pluto-Sun and Uranus-Mars atrocities. Jan very notable, also May, Aug, Nov, Dec and Feb 021.'

In May 2020 Jones retired from his role at 2GB after 18 years, citing ill health. He was pushed, of course,  after making controversial comments about New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern that had cost his breakfast program large sums of money from advertisers.

Looking ahead, there's a lot more Pluto-Sun restructuring for A Jones from the solar arc instead of the transit. More major downers for him in the next 9-12 months.

In case you missed it, September 29  had a very informative video on the Aussie paedo network:   https://www.facebook.com/ray.benzino.3386/videos/575822491382569

LUXON  LIKE TODD MULLER !
December 8
Old Lux flakes Luxutive is already very adept at telling lies.
No surprise really. He possesses a Capricorn Moon, like a predecessor named Ardern. Possessors of a Capricorn Moon are generally ambitious, disciplined and dutiful. And also very good at putting on a brave face and hiding dark secrets.
 
Our 2022 Liar Of The Year award actually went to a Capricorn Mooner, prolific racehorse purchaser David Ellis. In August 2022, a Japanese jockey was killed in a racetrack fall at Cambridge. National radio interviewed Ellis, who claimed it was NZ's first racetrack death in over 100 years. Unbelievable, blatant lie ! Facebook colleagues and I soon came up with 10 raceday deaths in the last 60 years. With a dozen or so more sentenced to Home D in a wheelchair forever.
You imagine strapping Ardern to a polygraph and asking: Who got your nanny pregnant ?  I know, after a long-time Ardern-family associate told me, but the official word ' from the horse's mouth ' is necessary.
It's also fact that Capricorn Moons are not made for motherhood. Career comes first and one of Ardern's bitter rivals in polly days was also a Capricorn Moon possessor whose kid wasn't planned either-- Paula Bennett, at age 17 !
 
You could also strap Luxon to the polygraph and ask him about the $500K he paid Barack Obama for a speech when he was CEO at Air New Zealand. The appearance in the Annual Prophecies last month was quite scary for the troubled nation:

' Luxon, Christopher:

Polly in for major stress and setbacks from Pluto attacking his Mars. Best to be bed-ridden in Jan, July, Nov, but 2025 has much improvement from Neptune and Uranus assisting that Mars position.'

And had me harking back, to when National's Todd Muller was announced as leader of the Opposition:

MULLER  DONALDED ' AND NEEDS TO BE ' ON HIS TOD '

May 22, 2020

simply because Toddy's Mars was soon to be smashed by Pluto. He only lasted for 2 months before he quit, with ' mental health ' issues !
It would be downright offensive putting ' short-term Todd ' and ' Lux flakes ' in the same category as Rugby League gun Reece Walsh, but it has to be done for purposes of case history. Walshy's Pluto-Mars horrors of 2022 were confidently predicted, when the missus dumped him and Walshy had the NZ Warriors fuming when he canned his Auckland move to stay in Brisbane to be near his child. But what about this candidate for G.O.A.T-hood, November 2017, Annuals

' Smith, Steve:

2 major off-years for Australian cricketer with Pluto attacking his Mars until Nov 019. Feb to June 018 crucial.'

Following an investigation into ball-tampering by Cricket Australia, Smith was banned from all international and domestic cricket in Australia for one year starting from 29 March 2018, and from consideration for any leadership role for an additional year !

It was also Pluto v Mars that supervised harness great Mark Purdon's recent, brief retirement, and in 023 Beauden Barrett, Anthony Griffin and Megan Woods were among the notable sufferers.As we know, R Walsh bounced back with the Broncos and has enjoyed a very awesome 2023 under his Neptune-Mars positive.
.
The identical aspect will be improving Luxutive's life dramatically in 2025. It's easy to imagine Luxutive getting the shits and dropping out in 2024. And starting afresh at a ' new club ' with a lot less pressure. It was just over 2 years ago that his upcoming 2024 horrors were first predicted: CHRISTOPHER LUXON VERY ' DONALDED ' December 3, 2021
.
FootnoteFor the undereducated, ‘ Donalded ’ is an accessory of ‘ Donald Duck ’ in Cockney rhyme. Being ‘ on your Tod ’ honours a great jockey, Tod Sloane, when one is ‘ on one's own.’

BIG SLASHINGS IN NZ RACING

 December 6

We started laughing about the Entain mob ages ago.

That's the Gibraltar-based company which took over/rescued the NZ TAB that was struggling financially. Entain had been involved in some major losses overseas after various crimes including money-laundering. And just a couple of weeks ago was fined 600 million UK pounds after a long-running investigation into bribery.

 Followed by : ' Entain has suffered a major snub from the Goldman Sachs investment bank. Goldman Sachs have double-downgraded the betting operator to ' sell ' from ' buy ' and slashed its price target to 820p from 1450p.'

Last week Entain's share price plummeted to its lowest since August 2020 and NZ TAB staff were notified of major, cost-slashing moves in the near future. Veteran commentator Tony Lee announced his upcoming retirement in a Facebook page interview, looking as if he'd just landed an alternative role as Death Warmed Up.

Dressed in jeans and a T-shirt, Lee spent most of the 6 minutes muttering with his hands in his pockets. He's a broken person, racing has wrecked his family life. He was living in his car for a time and dealing with some serious personal issues. There was a group wail on Facebook last weekend, as the great unwashed do when one of their electronic idols leaves the screen. Will they man/woman up and take action ?

An obvious recourse would be a national punters' strike. Solidarity in the T Lee fans will have them ignoring the Entain product and betting with off-shore agencies, or illegal SP bookmakers. The racing industry needs losing bettors to guarantee its survival and a sea of red ink in turnover would add to the ginormous problems for the NZ industry.

Which has also got a terrible reputation for sweeping dirty matters under the carpet. The recent drug rape of a 17 year-old industry worker in Cambridge might have difficulty making the RIB's too-hard basket, though. Her parents have taken the matter to the police. 2 licensed trainers and a racing manager were identified as  persons of interest and have been assisting with inquiries.

It's rapidly becoming such an ugly industry, but with the amazing Astrological system, we don’t take racing seriously, we just take the money. So it won't matter if they're racing for rosettes and ribbons on Raglan Beach, in lieu of stake money. There will always be win dividends, hopefully similar to our last 8, from just 21 investments since 2019 began:       

Blanco Bay $5.50, Anarchy $18.00, Winning Ways $4.70, Invisible Spirit $3.80, Concert  Hall $5.60, Opaea Joe $27.40, So The Fox $26.00, Livid Sky $8.50.

Footnote: What chance of his fellow keeping his job, after last month's Annual Prophecies ?

' Innes, Leith:

Massive and difficult change for the Trackside Channel employee with Neptune-Jupiter and Pluto-Venus atrocities. Jan, April, Sept, Oct, Nov crucial with partnership matters highlighted.'

UGLY ' WUM ' THE HATE PROMOTER

December 4

Almost hourly the once noble NZ Herald produces repulsive headlines like this:

Mother who beat daughter with dog collar avoids jail

and you must wonder: What is the point of such a negative story ?  Is there nothing more newsworthy ?  And why did it take precedence over this ?

Hi, Barbie! Margot Robbie spotted dining out in Auckland

You'd have to ask an Auckland lifer journalist, deemed some 20 years ago by his peers to be ' the World's Ugliest Male '

' W U M ' a.k.a Shayne Currie, once poured his heart out to a colleague, during an alcohol and pills binge. Currie opened up about the personal ugliness that supposedly hampered his chances of finding a good wife and having a family. In lieu of finding true love, he would channel everything into his journalism career.

Currie said ' yes ' to the right people, now he is the NZ Herald's ' editor at large ' who helps decide what the masses should be reading. The obsession with misery way back in 2009 even earned  ' car crash Currie '  acclaim for his love of motor-accident headlines, when editor of the Herald on Sunday.

HOLMO BUYING DRUGS

As we remember the hideous creature's role in one of NZ media's ugliest carpet jobs.14 years ago this evening, a Friday night, with the Herald's Xmas party happening in the nearby Shakespeare Tavern. NZ Herald editor Tim Murphy and HOS editor Currie were in deep discussion at the company's Wyndham St entrance. Photographer Greg Bowker had been rushed to hospital after getting bashed by 2 unknown males.

Was a ' heartbreaking ' headline being considered for WATCH: INNOCENT HERALD MAN GETTING BASHED on video from CCTV footage ? No way. Bowker had been exiting the building when he noticed broadcasting king Paul Holmes across the road in deep discussion with 2 men. A nice human interest photo

Click click from Bowker...smash-bash from the angry men who obviously didn't like being photographed. Holmes, who was receiving $1800 weekly for his Herald on Sunday column, ran away as soon as he saw a flash. Ending with Bowker being gagged, the CCTV footage being wiped and definitely no story. Not allowed in rival publications either, although every journo in Auckland seemed to know about it, some that Holmesie had been purchasing his Class A drugs from 2 gang members !

A certain Sunday News reporter reckoned one of the gangsters was also supplying his former, P-addict fiancee. A female friend of G Bowker actually showed me the crime scene. So the story was published only here and on the Whaleoil site. 4 months afterwards I phoned Herald veteran David Fisher for his comments on the matter. Like most media veterans, Fish resorted to personal attack to uplift his fragile ego:

' There's something about it on your website that isn't true!

Fish wouldn't elaborate on the ' it ' but I thanked him for the confirmation. Along with Currie, Murphy and co, he had been party to one of the dirtiest cover-ups in NZ journalism history. It was the evening that NZ's media lost its innocence.

WUM'S POTENTIAL STEPSON

A 2015 appearance in the NZ Herald continued the Currie legend:

' The teenage son of one of New Zealand's most decorated journalists has been accused of selling cannabis to school children.

Jay Lichter - an 18-year-old male model - is the son of Donna Chisholm, the editor at large of North and South, as well as a writer for the New Zealand Listener. His father is Fairfax Media racing editor Barry Lichter.'

Chisholm was a reluctant mother at age 38 and soon after the relationship became ' open.'  Like Lichter, she had worked for the Sunday Star-Times. Where Chisholm met WUM, 14 years her junior, and they became a long-standing item. With Chisholm, as deputy-editor, phoning me one Saturday evening in March, 2007, demanding removal of a story about her and toy boy Currie's relationship.

Her editor was supposedly unhappy and lawyers were going to get involved. The ' cold chizzy ' of journalism was assured that no stories would be removed. As I wondered then how the 10 year-old son was coping with his parents' open relationship. Chisholm had Currie, and Lichter was spending much time with harness trainer Nicky Chilcott in Cambridge.

Even funnier was the Chisholm-Currie affair continuing when WUM moved on to  the Herald on Sunday and  became the editor. I likened it to Team NZ skipper Dean Barker rooting Alinghi's bosun ! Currie and Chisholm ended bitterly, when WUM found the dream family of a divorcee with some children. Jay Lichter spent time in rehab for his drug problems.

There's daily laughter about the very predicted current state of despair in NZ. It goes to another level when things like Currie, Fisher and Chisholm can decide what the many-headed monster of the pit shall read.

7 YEARS NOTICE FOR LOCKETT

November 30

Copping a disqualification from the racing authorities is usually a great omen.

As I explained to an ex-cop racecourse inspector, who'd banned me from all racecourses, after an editorial in my tipping publication back in August 1987. When I criticised his superiors, who'd banned a pair of jockeys caught with Cannabis in a police matter. My point was that Cannabis was no hindrance to good horsemanship, an advantage in fact, with the relaxation factor.

But what really pissed the racing hierarchy off was an 8.45 a.m prime-time interview with Paul Holmes on 1ZB. Containing my claims that 50% of northen jockeys were smoking Cannabis, and that I personally had puffed the magic flagon with about 60 jockeys, ' before and after races. '  Holmesie was quite taken with jockeys riding in races when they were stoned !

Finally one of the racecourse inspector's superiors stepped over him and pardoned me after 8 months. But not before I'd reminded the ex-cop that I was in very good company, along with some legendary racing men who've been disqualified. Rattling off names like  Graeme Rogerson MNZM, Syd Brown, Jack Winder, Irvine Tucker, Wally Pratt, Brian Smith, Norman Holland OBE, Don MacKinnon, Reg Collett , Hector Gray, Laurie Collett, Harry Long, Nugget Ensor, Jim Hely and George Walton.

Quite a list and I would have added some Australian legends, maybe George Moore, Mel Schumacher, Darby McCarthy, Harry Green, Rob and Bill Waterhouse, Mick Mallyon and Athol Mulley. I did mention the great English jockey Lester Piggott, then preparing to be imprisoned in October 1987 after a ginormous fleece of the taxman !

Some great jockeys have earned disqualifications in the interim---James McDonald, Darren Beadman, Damien Oliver, Hugh Bowman, Tommy Berry and Jim Cassidy etc  in Australia. Add Auckland punting great/harness enthusiast Tim Vince, who earned 8 months away from the Auckland Trotting Club after sending a very colourful email to an official.

Champion Wanganui jumps rider-turned trainer Rochelle Lockett joined the legends in April last year, when she copped a 3 years-disqualification after a winning galloper returned a positive to a prohibited drug. Suspended for 18 months, so Ms Lockett resumed training recently.

R Lockett was the gun jumps rider for the training great Kevin Myers, with 110 wins from 626 rides. A 17% winning strike rate, then injuries forced her into training, with a reasonably healthy 24 wins from 224 runners. With some very awesome phases on the horizon, including a Pluto-Moon trine in  2029-30 !

There have been so many awesome ' Pluto-Moon ' enhancements but my favourite memory is the same phase for Lockett's fellow Wanganui trainer, Alexander Fieldes through 2007-08. To which ARA Fieldes was alerted on September 11, 2006. I wanted to swap places with ARA and be a freezing worker-hobby horseman for 2 years, and he naturally wondered about ' the advantages of being Don Murray ? '

That evening he would be the guest of 4 young black African ladies at the Ethiopian New Year's celebrations in New Lynn. A Fieldes opted against the identity switch. The next 2 years included his galloper Capecover  winning 16 races from 63 starts, many in Australia where he was good enough to run in the 2009 Melbourne Cup !

That list of disqualified racing men above contains some absolute legends. Time away from the grind and bitching in racing is very mind-expanding. Wanganui trainer R Lockett will bounce back, with some awesome Uranus phases in 2026 and 2027 as well, but I'm going a little further. She wins a race on November 30, 2030, providing she has a runner.

That's 7 years in advance, to eclipse the current World record holder, Watch this Space, a $9.80 winner on November 7, 2017. The only runner for Matamata trainer Wayne Hillis, who had been labelled a certainty for that very day back on July 4, 2012 !

THOSE ' WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITIES ' FOR GRINNY WINNIE

November 29

Beneath

PLUTO v WINSTON PETERS

 back on October 11, there was the pre-election warning: Pluto would be attacking Winston Peters' Venus, with the final hit somewhere between October 26 and December 2 !

Not a happy time for anybody, with some words of wisdom for Winnie: ' Soak up the suffering of Pluto v your Venus and await the new and wonderful career/lifestyle opportunities that Uranus shall start bringing to your Jupiter around mid-December. '
 

So it was reasonably hilarious when Luxon and Peters and Seymour kept withering and dithering and trying to form a government. No hurry Winnie, with the unhappiness there soon to be replaced with 2 awesome Uranus trines to Winnie's Jupiter, peaking in early January and mid-February !

November 24, finally, W Peters gets the deputy PM's job, for the 3rd time. That's a big part of his first Uranus buzz, so you gotta wonder about the 2nd one peaking in mid-February. You couldn't rule out further promotion, noting in the Annuals of November 27  that the current prime minister deserves be bedridden in January, courtesy of his first destructive Pluto-Mars attack !

And what makes it even funnier, David Seymour's got his Mars at Gemini 26-something. And bracing itself for a big assault from nebulous Neptune in Pisces sometime in February. Getting angry and frustrated in January, too.

So you've got 2 of the 3 stooges having their energy planet misappropriated by the big planets in the supposed holiday month. The other one, enjoying his Uranus trine is Grinny Winnie.

THE COMEDY CONTINUES

Soon we shall be giving further consideration to Luxutive's destructive Pluto-Mars situation next year. With some notable examples of victims who suddenly retired or got sacked under this aspect. Including one of Luxutive's predecessors !

THE 2024 PROPHECIES

November 27

The next super edition is ready. Packed again with all kinds of notable humans and their ups and downs in advance.

 The 90% plus annual success rate demonstrates why the Astrological system works, much better than prayer or the propoganda of ' mental health advocates ' and mainstream media slaves.

It's a shame so many cringe away from the hard, cold facts. But the great science does have formulae for liars and cowards.

Plenty of notable horse racing names have earned berths in the 2024 edition. Notably C Waller, P Moody, O Bosson, J Richards, A Scott, L Innes, K McEvoy, R Elliot, D Weir, L Allpress, M Moroney.

The usual array of royalty and celebrities, a few old broadcasters getting the boot and some rugby league notables like S Johnson, T Harris, I Cleary, L MItchell, W Bennett.

REVIEWING THE 2023 RIPPERS

November 24

It's been a ripper of a year and almost non-stop laughter.    

Like back in July, the Neptune-Mercury issues of MP Kiri Allan were considered, and mental illness leave until December was recommended. A week later she got ' Brahms and Lizst, ' smashed up her car and got charged with resisting arrest and drunken driving !

Next month, musician Lorde opened up about her mental problems that had been predicted for August some 9 months earlier. There were sensational prophecies and dramas involving Eddie Jones, Israel Adesanya, Steve Pateman, Anthony Griffin, Nathan Cleary, Brandon Smith, Rafael Nadal and the dumped pollies A Little, K Faafoi, G Robertson, M Woods and N Mahuta etc

Cricket dominated March, with those amazing predictions on Kane Williamson, Gary Stead, Brendon McCullum and Virat Kohli. Prince Harry and Meghan's predicted ' post-marital issues ' also kept us amused throughout the year.

On April 28, National MP Melissa Lee was added, with ' massive and unbelievable change ' predicted and ' Dec very crucial.' She became a former MP earlier this month after requesting a recount !

When God's washing machine was going loony last summer, it was noted that Auckland itself would still be a bit dazed and confused by nebulous Neptune opposing its natal Sun until December. Still great problems around properties, transport, food prices etc and a dramatic rise in youth crime this year. 

Stats also show a dramatic rise in empty shops in the CBD. 4 years ago there were 33 vacant in the region, to 172 empties there in June 2023. These stats assist with NZ's late 2023 horrors, that were first forecast over 2 years beforehand !

As always, bashing the bookmakers is our favorite.  6 racing investments and 2 winners in the year with $26.00 and $8.50 win dividends !  It was 38 years ago this month that the wonderful Astrological racing system was first shared with the public as the Planet Kingdom tip sheet.

The year was full of wonderful feedback from trusting, patient clients. Like:

' I'm p ( name withheld )... I was talk with you regarding my Visa. I told you when I got my Visa I will contact you. Finally I got my Visa and thank you so much for helping me thank you so much for you to have a downtime you’re supposed to me '

To satisfy the scowling sceptics and hate promoters there were errors in the 50 Annuals of November 2022, on Billy Slater and Max Verstappen. But overall another reasonably amazing year. With more rippers to be revealed with the 2024 prophecies  here on November 27.

.

4 YEARS NOTICE

November 22

' Twas on this very day 20 years ago that a reasonably phenomenal prophecy was made.

It was a Saturday, and around 4.45 pm broadcaster Murray Deaker and a nation of Newstalk ZB listeners got the big warning. Don't employ Graham Henry as the next All Blacks coach !

A week earlier the John Mitchell-coached All Blacks had bowed out in a semi-final of the 2003 Rugby World Cup. That had been predicted 18 months earlier, courtesy of Mitchell's difficult aspects for November 2003. Amidst the euphoria I had consulted the natal chart of Mitchell's likely replacement, G Henry. After some initial expletives, I decided the nation needed a warning.

SOUND THE ALARM

The November 22, 2003 interview with Deaker wasn't enjoyable. The producer intended ringing me at 4.30 pm, but the call came 7-8 minutes later, and I was getting quite toey. The Champion Racing System clients had a big punt in the 4.45 pm sprint at Pukekohe, but Deaker went into one of his great raves. About my phenomenal prophecies of the year on fellows like Jonah Lomu, Andy Haden and Martin Devlin etc.

I'm mumbling about the horrible Pluto-Moon and Uranus-Sun destructives awaiting G Henry in late 2007, and trying to watch the 4.45 pm race on mute. Sound The Alarm suddenly dashed into the picture and won by a long neck. But I was unable to squeal or punch the chandelier, with a  $6.55 win dividend. Just as I was sounding the alarm for one of the biggest disasters in NZ history !

Come October 2007 there wasn't the same enthusiasm from Deaker, or any of the other media places who'd used the great prophecy. Neither Truth, Sunday Star-Times, TV One, TV3 etc would review the All Blacks worst-ever RWC with a quarter-final exit. Strange that Deaker didn't show his excitement of November 2003, but not really.

The stupid ' pakuranga hunt ' had totally ignored my prophecy, and gone and written a book on Graham Henry's seemingly invincible 2007 All Blacks !

So Deaker, who was renowned for his mental illness issues, was filthy. He didn't review the great prophecy until the annual January show 3 months later. Ditto fellow Radiosport host Doug Golightly, yet another broadcasting sheep, who was inciting the great unwashed to anger in those gloomy NZ days of October 2007. As Truthsport editor, Golightly had  published the  warning about  HENRY'S NOT THE MAN FOR THE JOB on December 5, 2003 !

Sad nation. The best early-warning system in history and the rulers weren't interested. Fortunately many Deaker listeners were. I'd whizz home after the show and 15 minutes later there's around a dozen messages on the answerphone already. With one post-show Monday receiving 67 calls to the 0900 number !

Stupid nation. The prophecies keep getting better, the influencers keep wriggling away. You think of the sad souls who could have been warned of the earthquake, Covid, flooding and other disasters. Also the dangers of foreign excursions if you haven't checked ' Travel Astrology ' !

But thanks for the major freebie, NZ. You gotta wonder what one hour of prime time advertising x 18 ( years ) on the national leader Newstalk ZB would have cost  me ?

THE ' pakuranga hunt ' EXAM

Go to  http://www.donmurrayastrologer.com/predictions.html  Read, if you are capable. If you are impressed with the G.O.A.T and find evidence of a truly amazing science, involving humans like Wayne Bennett, Wayne Hillis and Prince Harry etc you have failed. Go directly to the compound for elite brains, the rebellious who think outside the square. Do not listen to talkback radio or television.

If you spit, snivel and scowl with a curled lip, then change channels, you've cracked the code. An accredited, authentic, narrow-minded ' pakuranga hunt. ' Your reward will come in the form of losing your job, your business being liquidated or your property red-stickered after a mega flood !

Footnote: For the undereducated, ' pakuranga hunt ' is cockney rhyme for a certain kind of person.

JOHN GALVIN'S $75K TICKET CLIP

November 20

Horse racing ownership is fast becoming the new ' P.'

It's very addictive, very expensive and wrecks families. And there are lots of rip-offs as well.

Costs in NZ for training fees are as high as $145 per day. On average a maiden-race win will cover a bit more than 2 months training and statistics show that around 4% of gallopers actually manage to pay their way.

Racing ownership can be a wonderful

THE HALL OF FAME

October 7

To honour the amazing predictions in 2023, the Astrological Hall of Fame has created a couple of new berths. 

2 sensations were selected to join subjects of amazing prophecy like Wayne Hillis, Stephen Autridge, Graham Henry, Martin Crowe, Mike Hesson, Jarrod McCracken, Wayne Bennett, Prince Harry, Grant Dalton. and the nation of Australia.

The newcomers are at opposite ends of the usefulness scale:

WORLD FIRSTS

November 2017 Annual Prophecies:

' Hurrell, Konrad:

Rugby League star over the Neptune  bads of 2017. Positive Saturn trines for Feb, June, Nov of 2018 before his biggest year from a pinnacle of progressions around Oct 2019.'

Comical Konrad was in the Tongan team that beat Great Britain 14-6 in a first-ever on October 26, 2019. And ' around Oct ' included that 16-12 stunner on the 2nd day of November, when Tonga also beat Australia for the first time !

MENTAL ILLNESS

www.donmurrayastrologer.com, May 31, 2021

' With ( Martin ) Devlin's Mercury position ( Aquarius 14.39 ) getting a few rammings from erratic Uranus in unfriendly Taurus. July, August and September are crucial months, when Devlin's thoughts and communicating will be much weirder than usual. And his emails.

3  months of gardening leave wouldn't be a bad idea......'

On July 24, troubled broadcaster Devlin was found unconscious after attempting to take his own life.

OUR $8.50 WINNER

October 5

The plundering continued at Tauranga on Wednesday with Astrological Hall of Famer Stephen Autridge.

For several years trainer S Autridge had been slotted in for October 4. He accepted with 2 runners, both in the same maiden race. As soon as Fixed Odds were available around 4 pm the day before, clients were emailed and they pounced on Livid Sky ( $8.50 ) and Midnight Monarch ( $31.00 ).

Livid Sky came in to around $5 before braining them on Wednesday. Taking our record since January 2019 to 8 wins from 21 investments. With an average win dividend of $12.42 on a 38% winning strike rate.

Our plundering of this decadent, once-proud industry shall continue. It's fun emulating the master trainers I worked for or interviewed in the golden 1970s.They would use secret track gallops, hook-up jobs and fibs to the trackwatchers and pressmen in order to get a healthy dividend. I just concentrate on finding awesome Uranus days for people from the planet book.

S Autridge earned himself a spot in the Astrological Hall of Fame after being the initial long-range certainty, almost 30 years ago !

FRIDAY FLASH, October 30, 1992:

I'll be surprised if punters don't make a fortune backing runners from Stephen Autridge's stable on February 6, July 23 and November 28 next year.'

 Trainer S R Autridge did not have runners on the first two dates but his only starter on November 28,1993, Matsqui, won and returned a $22.65 win dividend !

Anyone can join us. As Pablo Picasso so wisely claimed “The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.” And it's so much fun beating the system.

Watch number 10 in the green and blue who was slow early:

BARNETT'S WIFE AND EARLY CANCER DETECTION

October 4

You would think the world would be interested in early detection of cancer, wouldn't you ?

Cancer is apparently quite awful, but also a massive earn for the drug makers. Who don't really mind the losers and their fund-raising campaigns, plus there are plenty of horror stories in their media to keep the great unwashed living in fear. As per last weekend's Herald ugliness:

Radio and TV star Simon Barnett’s wife Jodi has battled brain cancer for more than five years but doctors have now given her just weeks to live. A devastated Barnett and his four daughters invite editor-at-large Shayne Currie into their home to tell Jodi’s story, and to pay tribute to a ‘perfect’ wife, mother, and matriarch: ‘I’ve cried bucket loads’.'

Fact: Barnett is not a ' radio and TV star, ' he is an institutionalised media puppet. And we know all about those things, especially in the saga of Herald lifer  ' snotty-nosed Jane ' Phare here on September 8. As per Phare having a predicted  ' major life change in a couple of years time ' which coincided with her much-publicised bout of breast cancer !

Fact: If snotty-nosed Jane hadn't been so lazy, Mrs Barnett could have been saved.

Many years later Phare was reminded about my great prediction. She claimed that breast cancer wasn't ' life changing, ' then went on the attack and also claimed that I did not predict the birth of her son. An impossible task, since I didn't even know her birthdate when the child arrived !

This is what you're up against, poor Keen Interest Without Intelligence. Such a reply is typical of these dirty old puppet-wage earners with very fragile egos. When Phare began her 45 years of Heralding back in the 1970s, investigative journalism was big and delving reporters from the now defunct rival Auckland Star brought about the release of the wrongly-convicted Arthur Allan Thomas.

Investigative journalism has been dumped in the cemetery as the New World Order media system changes. I continue to delve, as I did 42 years ago this month when my first Astrologeress blew me away with facts about my nature and past, especially identifying my caesarean section birth.

 I was born with a clean 6th House, and consequently no major health issues, but have done plenty of work on this with clients.  It's been discovered that a dirty 6th House with heavies like Pluto and Uranus etc causes major health problems like cancer, asthma, diabetes, leukaemia etc.

Quite amazing that all of these can be detected minutes after birth. With terms and conditions also applying to birth, as we consider one of the greats from the November 2019 Annual Prophecies, www.donmurrayastrologer.com :

' Holt, Hayley:  

Broadcaster-reformed alcoholic in danger of another serious meltdown with Neptune-Mars harassment. March, Sept and Jan 021 the crucial months.'

In 2020 Holt had a miscarriage. Non-client/disbelievers like Mike King, Martin Devlin, Tony Veitch and disgraced jockey Jason Waddell have also been the subject of phenomenal, public  prophecies involving their great depressions. It's even funnier that just 10 minutes of Astrological enlightenment has convinced so many clients, including 7 or 8 national sports champions !

Rather ironically, Barnett and Phare have more in common than being wage-earning media lifers. They have both been booked for berths in next month's Annual Prophecies:

' Barnett, Simon:

Veteran broadcaster in need of monitoring with destructive Pluto attacking his Mars. April, May and Jan 025 crucial, with Pluto-Venus attack 025 as well.'

Phare, Jane:

Massive personal restructuring for the lifer journo from destructive Pluto attacking her Mars. Feb, June and Jan 025 crucial.'

Lest we never forget the words of Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, around 400 b.c when he decided that ' a physician who doesn't use Astrology is a fool, not a physician.'

SILENCING THE SKEPTICS

October 2

Are those scowling old skeptics coming to their senses ?

Back on September 14, I revealed the threats from NZ Skeptics Inc: Please stop spamming our posts with your irrelevant links. If you don't stop, we will have no option but to block you from our page. -- Craig '

On Sept 16, this link was posted on the Skeptics site:

Don Murray

Truth v NZ Skeptics ..http://www.donmurrayastrologer.com/news.html

All about the laziness of cowards who run from the truth, and the names of 10 sports and racing personalities who've been the subjects of amazing prophecy. All fitting with the Skeptics motto: ' Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. ' 

Only a truly sad ' pakuranga hunt ' could cringe away from the horse racing certainty forecast 5 years, 4 months and 3 days in advance. That would return a $9.80 win dividend on Melbourne Cup day 2017 !

17 days later my post is still there, without a single comment. Unlike a previous debate, which ended with a spastic suggestion:

David MansDon Murray Challenge to Don: Next predicted 100:1 - re-mortgage your house and put down $100,000.'

Maybe the skeptics are having a serious meeting ? Trying to decide if Don should be banned or believed With more sad news from their site, about the filthy South African racist Heather du Plessis Allan having one of those sad skeptics on her Newstalk ZB show earlier this year !

The very Newstalk ZB that promoted the wonders of Astrology so heavily with the Murray Deaker show for 18 consecutive years. You can't con people on live radio, with the ravings from Deaker about the ' Astrologer extraordinaire, ' and thousands of people were fortunate to be introduced to the great enlightenment. Just a memory now.

You could feel sorry for poor old Keen Interest Without Intelligence. The honest taxpayer who put his faith in the ' New Zealand way '--- learning to worship things like dirty old Holmo and plastic tits Dawson, Sir Johnny Wino and medication Mikey, Team NZ, the All Blacks and  occasionally the Warriors --- but suffered terribly from the Covid disaster, the earthquakes and flooding.

Or you could just laugh at the dumb bastards, remembering that you can't help stupid if he/she don't want to be helped.

THE AUSSIE PAEDO NETWORK

September 29

I've read some amazing books on corruption in Australia.

This joker's unauthorised biography is mind blowing:

One of the most prolific paedophile priests to go unpunished for his crimes in Australia was Monsignor John Day. He received more than 100 complaints in the Towards Healing program, an organisation set up to deal with allegations of abuse in the church.'

Abe Saffron's unauthorised biography has some beauties, too. Including the blackmailing of Sir Frank Packer, who was captured with a little boy by the 2-way mirror !

Many years later, Sir Frank's son, Kerry Packer, had a blackmail threat from broadcaster Alan Jones, when he' d been busted for little boy activities in France. Kerry had to pull strings with the French authorities to get Jonesy released from jail, otherwise Jonesy was gonna blow the whistle on Kerry's paedo activities !

A touch of irony here, considering the blasting that Wallabies' coach Eddie Jones is getting at the moment. When unrelated Alan Jones got sprung in the motel in France, he was also coaching the Wallabies !

So it wasn't really a surprise when some other very notable names got a mention in the amazing 22 minutes video below.

With reasons why the NRL shun the involvement of rich and powerful paedos like John Singleton and Alan Jones. Experienced Aussie league men in the 1990s had some horrific tales of the pervert Jones, who loved talking to young players while they were showering, when he coached Balmain.

Plenty of other notable Aussie names like Turnbull, Kennedy, Laws, Howard, Hadley, Hawke, Whitlam, Menzies, Burke, Bell,  Newton, Meldrum, Carr, Wran, Nicole Kidman's father and the Costello brothers etc

THERE'S HOPE FOR EDDIE JONES !

September 27

Nothing can match this amazing, ancient science, so favourably recommended by the father of modern medicine, Hippocrates ( c. 460 – c. 370 BC. )

Especially when it comes to knowing when the unproductive phases shall end. Consider a couple of NRL personnel who appeared in the November 2021 Annual Prophecies:

Walters, Kevin:

More problems for the NRL coach with Uranus-Mercury and Pluto Node complications. June particularly horrific, also Oct.

Walsh, Reece:

Many upsets for NRL young gun with Pluto attacking his Mars. Feb, June, Dec notable.

Kev's Brisbane Broncos finished 9th in 2022, and Walshy had major relationship break-ups with his missus and the NZ Warriors. Then Pluto and Uranus stopped wreaking their havoc before the 2023 season began. Now R Walsh is one of the superstars in K Walters' team and they're both heading for Sunday's Grand Final.

Down on September 19 we were considering ' million-to-one Eddie ' Jones after his Wallabies got shocked out by Fiji. Last Monday morning he was front page again !

The Wallabies were all but knocked out of the Rugby World Cup this morning following a 40-6 defeat to Wales - which looks set to be the first time they’ll fail to make the quarter-final stage at the tournament. Eddie Jones’ side were completely outclassed to be handed their biggest loss at a World Cup.

 You could imagine how Eddie Jones is feeling at the moment. In the analysis on  September 19, it's rather coincidental that all the Neptune-Jupiter stress supervised his dumping from the England coaching job. And Neptune-Node problems with his Australian job at the moment, but all those shall be gone come next January And the erratic genius Uranus takes over.

Eddie's Node ( Virgo 25 ) is getting the harassment from confusing Neptune ( Pisces 25 ) at present. Virgo's great mate Taurus currently has erratic genius Uranus as a house guest. With awesome Uranus-Node phases filling E Jones with positivity from Taurus 25 around June and November next year, and April in 2025. Then speedy Uranus zooms into Gemini, whose buddy Aquarius has the Sun of Eddie Jones as a tenant, somewhere between 8.40 and 9.40 degrees !

Meaning that Eddie's gonna benefit extremely from the powerful Uranus-Sun trine between July 2027 and May 2028. October 2027 is a very fortunate month for E Jones. And also when the Rugby World Cup is going full bore in his native land !

The chances of E Jones getting retained by Aussie for the next 4 years would be about a milllion to one as well. But it doesn't matter what Eddie Jones is doing in 2027, he's gonna be a lot happier than now. And whatever team he is coaching will do a lot better than expected.

WARRIORS SWEET FOR  2025-26

September 25

The rare lateness of a very regular Laos lady was noted by a Monk at the Temple lunch yesterday.

I told the Monk that ' Karma Lady ' had stayed up late to watch the NZ Warriors' game, and she was so devastated by the result that she was unable to sleep. For several seconds he seemed to believe me. Of course  Buddhist beauties have no interest in such an aggressive activity, the lateness was simply a daylight-saving error, and soon after the Monk was full of laughter.

While many fans were very devastated after the Wahs got battered 42-12 by the Broncos in Saturday night's semi-final. But they surprised everybody in 2023, and did manage to win their first, and only, play-offs game in 12 years.

They made the top 4, and I had already labelled them for much bigger things in 2025 and 2026.Courtesy of current assistant coach Stacey Jones benefiting from awesome Pluto trines in those years. The little legend has experienced 4 Pluto-trine years in his head-coach life and won 3 premierships---with NZ Warriors Juniors, and Point Chevalier Pirates twice, in the Auckland competition.

The owner Mark Robinson is to be blessed with an array of amazing progressions through 2025 and 26. Positive activity in the several months preceding July and September of 2025, with November a time of great achievement. 2026 has major highs for Robbo approaching April and August, also January 2027.

Returning superstar Roger Tuivasa-Sheck's disappointing 2023 in rugby was predicted. And it has been previously noted that R T S has an amazing 2026 on the horizon, when big hitters Pluto and Uranus are both positively trining his Jupiter position 

Like all with a January 17 birthday, coach Andrew Webster shall benefit from an awesome Uranus-Sun trine in 2024. No time known, after a request to the media person, so I shall have to visit him at training, and re-enact a day there in late March, 2009.

When the Warriors were 2-2 and top of the ladder. I introduced myself to then coach Ivan Cleary, explained the purpose and that the later he was born, the better it was for 2011.

' 11 p.m ' was the reply, with confirmation that there was no need to confirm it further, but I did detect a WTF ? from Ivan about waiting 2 more years. Perfect ! said the Sorcerer later, because the late birth time confirmed that I Cleary would be benefiting from an awesome Pluto-Moon trine in 2011 !

Then it all went wrong in 2009. Late August, the Warriors are struggling in 14th place and Sir Mad Butcher hauls me onto the podium in his lounge at Mt Smart and wants to know how the stars are for their last home game. I was more interested in the new season, so I suggested to Mad that he ' stop pulling that thing down there ' and pull some strings at the Warriors So they've got John Ackland as head coach and Stacey Jones his assistant, because they had awesome Pluto trines in the next 2 years, insisting that present coach Ivan Cleary to be kept on for 2011 with his Pluto buzz as well !

Ackland went from Cleary's assistant to sole charge of the Juniors. Player Jones was released and took up a coaching position with Pt Chevalier Pirates in the Auckland 3rd division. Ackland's Juniors won their NRL Grand Finals for a club first in 2010, and 2011. Jones' Pirates won the 3rd and 2nd division premierships in consecutive years. And Cleary's top side made the 2011 Grand Final !

Since then ? Twice into the final 8, for the one win. But a Golden era is about to begin, as long as they retain the above-mentioned. Even without a birth time, coach Webster still has Uranus trining, and Neptune sextiling, his Venus very positively between May 026 and April 027. Another coaching staffer Richard Agar is of January 20 arrival, so he gets his awesome Uranus-Sun trine in 2025.

At this stage it's looking like Grand Final appearances in 2025 and 2026 at least.

LORDE'S ' MENTAL PROBLEMS ' OF ' AUG '

September 23

Lorde has given her fans a bittersweet new update in her latest newsletter.

Explaining her heartbreak, Lorde writes: “It’s different but the same. I ache all the time, I forget why and then remember. I’m not trying to hide from the pain, I understand now that pain isn’t something to hide from, that there’s actually great beauty in moving with it. But sometimes I’m sick of being with myself.

She adds that she has tried to ease the pain and “manipulate the endorphins” by eating chocolate, however it appears to have had the opposite effect as the Grammy winner says “my body is really inflamed”.

My gut isn’t working properly, my skin is worse than ever, I’ve gotten sick half a dozen times. I realised earlier this year that listening to my body is hard for me, it’s something I never really learned how to do.” The star goes on to say she has stopped taking the “little yellow pill” that she has taken each morning since she was 15. While she doesn’t confirm what she is referring to, it may be a reference to a prescription antidepressant.

Of course we are not surprised, after the appearance in last November's Annual Prophecies !

' Lorde:

Serious mental problems from Mars-Saturn attack Aug. Needs monitoring in April, and Jan 024 as well.'

Remembering that Lorde has been diagnosed with a serious Mars-Pluto negative in her natal chart. So often possessed by those with anger management and substance abuse issues, putting her in esteemed company. Others born with the Mars-Pluto energy block include Muhammed Ali, Oprah Winfrey, John McEnroe, Lisa-Marie Presley and legendary sex offenders Harvey Weinstein, Woody Allen and Roman Polanski. Plenty of alcoholics, and notable Australians Chopper Read and Greg Hall.

And an ex-jockey mate, discharged from hospital after ticker problems with ' Give up drinking and smoking ' from the doctor. Half an hour later he was in the pub.

Rather ironically, progressed Mars and Pluto are currently at war in the NZ chart until December, creating more angries than ever. But as we know so well, only Astrology gives real hope and the tide is turning for aching Lorde.

She'll be bouncing back in 2024, as the beneficiary of awesome Uranus trines to her Moon and Midheaven point. Then back in the doldrums again in 2026, though, with more major aches from Uranus assaulting her Mars.

A physician without a knowledge of Astrology has no right to call himself a physician.' -- Hippocrates

DUNCAN GARNER THE MONK

September 21

Last Sunday at Temple lunch the head Buddhist Monk for NZ sought a favour from ' Lung Don.'

This Thailand-born gentleman wanted someone to support applications for 2 fellow Monks to extend their time in New Zealand. 

Monks are very humble people, who own nothing and practice celibacy and temperance. They pray, chant and bless people. The community provides their daily meal, lunch at 11 a.m. They avoid vanity and competitiveness, and the dearth of stress from employers, landlords and families allows them to make good judgements.

 I've often compared the Monks' lifestyle to that of my pet kittens, so it's natural for them to gain the psychic power and 6th sense of cats, dogs, horses etc and some humans.

 Naturally there was a ' yes ' to the request, and I replied that I would state that these men had all the right attributes to be a Kiwi male. They love the All Blacks and watch every Warriors game and prefer going to the pub to argue about sport than spending time with the wife and kids, wherever they may be.

Perfect ! ' declared the Master. Knowing that I would go home and email him proper references, using words like ' honest, reliable, and of fine principles.'  Then have another read of an article on the fellow who inspired my statement at the Temple.

A Monk equivalent of New Zealand, a radio ' editor-in-chief ' with thousands of adoring fans and important enough recently to be the NZ Herald's lead story !

Duncan Garner: Why I refuse to vote in a general election '

The ' master ' to thousands is aged 49 , and has never lived abroad, spending nearly 30 years wallowing in the NZ media industry. He's got 4 kids to 3 different women and isn't renowned for being a devoted father. Just recently ' Dunga ' was living with his mother, and in his car. 

Remembering that Dunga's role is to make waves and controversy, angries and argument. The Monk is happiest when there is peace, co-operation and healthy food.

Buddhists often mock the ' Farang culture, ' even without knowing about the hero-worshipping of things like Garner, Hosking, Holmes, Feeney or the ' Topper twins, ' Veitch and Devlin, etc !  ' You guys don't look after your old people, ' noted a Laotian plasterer.

We do so ! We dump them in rest homes ' was the reply. Whereas the Buddhists love to have as many generations at the Temple as possible. Like a great-grandmother named Cai, who doesn't speak a word of English but always greets me with a big grin. Remembering her learning, through an interpreting daughter, that Kai is the Maori word for food.

Many are the residents in the Chocolate Triangle region with little or no English. Like the waitress at Yum Cha lunch one day, when I asked my Chinese companions if they could ask her for the recipe of the scrumptious Turnip cake I had just tasted. In return, I would teach her English.

After some discussion, the reply was: ' She doesn't want to learn English but she will give us the turnip cake recipe.'

They live with Chinese/Korean/Cambodian/Vietnamese/Indian/Thai/Laotian etc people, work, shop and socialise with them. No reason to stray from their wonderful, superior cultures. Plus English is such a difficult language.

And the chances  of being poisoned by things like Garner, Hosking, Feeney or the Topper twins etc are very slim if you don't understand a word of English !

MILLION TO ONE EDDIE '

September 19

Every man and his blog is having a wank about Australian rugby's first beating by Fiji in 69 years.

Bloggers just grizzle and moan about what happened. Astrologer's use facts, and it is fact that Australia were ' Donalded ' for the 2023 RWC the minute they hired Eddie Jones. Obviously with a birth time for Eddie and the Fijian coach this great upset could have been forecast.

With a recent reminder here on July 31 last:

' Footnote: Australia is a million to one with Donbet, and drifting for the RWC after this epic in the November 2021 Annual Prophecies:

Jones, Eddie:

Rugby coach hampered by Neptune-Jupiter complications in April, Aug and Feb 023. With Neptune-Node complications in Oct 023 as well. '

BAR-BRAWL CLOBBER AND THE SWABBER

September 16

NZ's very dysfunctional Racing Integrity Board had to prosecute one of their own recently.

 A night on the booze turned ugly for swabbing steward Nicole Lloyd:

1.2 Information A15764 Alleges that; On the 12th of August 2023, at the Racecourse Hotel, Riccarton, Nicole Lloyd, Class B Trainer, did misconduct herself by assaulting Harness Trainers, Cheree Wigg and Alan Edge. This behaviour being in breach of Rule 340 and subject to the general penalties set down in 803(1) of the Rules of Racing.

Ms Lloyd frankly admitted the breach and has an outstanding record in regard to any charges in a racing context over a period of 19 years. A fine of $900 was imposed, and as a result of the charge, Ms Lloyd has resigned from her position of a swabbing steward, which will cause a level of financial distress.

THE FORTUNATE RACING PEOPLE

September 16

The best things in life are Pluto trines.

That's when the planet of revolution is assisting a position 120 degrees away. Like from 2024, for 20 years, Pluto shall be in Aquarius and helping the positions of his good friends Libra and Gemini. With milder assistance to Aries and Sagittarius from 60 degree sextiles.

I've found these Pluto trines very helpful when starting a new business, gaining National recognition or setting World records. And when reassuring clients that there is light at the end of the dark tunnel. One favourite:

On Sunday, September 11, 2006 I phoned 49 year-old Wanganui-based freezing worker and horse racing enthusiast Alexander Fieldes and told him I wanted to swap places with him for 2 years, because of the awesome Pluto-Moon trine he would be experiencing. Including some fame or achievement.

“ So what’s in it for me if I suddenly become Don Murray ? ” Alexander asked.

 For starters, I explained, tonight he would be the guest of 4 young black African ladies at the Ethiopian New Year’s celebrations in a hall in New Lynn. “ Pass ” was the reply.

Along came Capecover, part-owned and trained by A R A Fieldes. 6 weeks after the Ethiopian festivities he won the 2nd of his 16 races, and would amass over $1 million in prizemoney. There were some big wins in Australia and the continued success had A Fieldes swapping his white freezing worker gumboots for Gucci in the mounting yard at the 2009 Melbourne Cup when Capecover made the final field.

There are zillions of Pluto stories. Like telling rugby league player Tony Tatupu about his upcoming elevations for 1995 and 96. His Auckland Warriors contract increased by 600%  with Super League, he represented NZ and Western Samoa, and ‘ Taps ’ became a father under the awesome Pluto-Sun trine.

A fellow extra in the rugby movie Skin'n'Bone in 2003 named Nick got alerted to his majors the following year. Like an awesome Pluto-Sun trine that might bring him some bigger movie roles ? Instead, as ' Nick Evans ' this guy became an All Black in 2004 !

Even amidst the Covid catastrophes, 2 separate clients were given the green light and launched successful business ventures. Both, a 21 year-old Chinese girl, and a 41 year-old Indian with his wife, found good reason to come around and tell me all about it .

 TRUTH v NZ SKEPTICS

September 14

This predicted, upcoming recession is starting to get brutal.

Much more to come. For many losers, ' Good fucking job ' is the only verdict possible. Because

       “ One of the most cowardly things ordinary people do is to shut their eyes to facts. ”

― C.S. Lewis, Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader 

And you know all about facts, don't you NZ Astrological facts, like those horse racing certainties going back 33 years, the 18 years of Newstalk ZB shows with Murray Deaker ONZM, the sensational All Black prophecies and Deaker's raving about the great science etc.

A few months back I noticed the NZ Skeptics mob attempting to poison the nation with their negativity. I went to their Facebook page and showed them the G.O.A.T prophecy, that prediction on July 4, 2012 about the horse racing certainty predicted for November 7, 2017 that produced a $9.80 win dividend.

Nobody, anywhere, could argue about that, as proof of forces above beyond human control. This epic prophecy even moved a couple of Skeptic members to wonder if ' Craig ' might give consideration. No, Craig the president stuck to his rules about completing the proper application form to gain their approval.

So I would have to complete the application for the November 2017 epic ? And those other, successful, long-range  predictions  on horse trainers Stephen Autridge, Kenny RaeRoger James and jumps jockeys Tommy Hazlett, Chris Allen and Raymond Connors ?  As well as the ' Martin Crowe day ' and the 'Jarrod McCracken night ' or the ' 2 years of great destruction for Australia ' forecast before Covid struck in 2020  And the Wayne Bennett 1997 classic or the 2007  Rugby World Cup phenomenon ?

It was getting a bit embarrassing for Craig the president, so I got a warning:

NZ Skeptics Inc. is responding to a comment you made on their Page. View comment.

' Please stop spamming our posts with your irrelevant links. If you don't stop, we will have no option but to block you from our page. -- Craig '

THE FRANK ENDACOTT STORY

September 11

We're always laughing here at the modern-day media's role models and influencers.

They are New World Order-compatible and some are very disgusting. It's like you've gotta be a runaway father to qualify, preferably with serious alcohol or substance abuse issues, with mental illness issues another tick earner.

 Every so often I read the autobiography of a great man named Frank Endacott ONZM, as a reminder of the wonderful fathers some generations grew up with.

Frank Endacott was the longest serving, and most successful, Kiwis rugby league coach, and only the second New Zealander after Graham Lowe to have coached at international level as well as in the Australian and British professional competitions.'

Frank's first home was a tent behind his grandparents' house in Christchurch, for his Australian-born dad,mum and Frank. Later a state house. Frank married Joan, aged 20, a month before his 18th birthday, claiming " I had one shilling in the bank. " Joan's parents died within a couple of years of each other, so Frank and Joan raised Joan's 5 younger siblings, as well as their own 4 little boys.

 Frank worked lots of overtime in the printing industry, and played rugby league as well. He coached at club level, then the Canterbury reps and the national team. Then coaching the Auckland Warriors reserve team and later the top side .

Plenty of reminders in the great read of the jealousy, dirty politics and general nastiness of  media  scabs, CEOs and board members. Dubbed ' Happy Frank '  by a sportswriter, F Endacott could piss people off because he was so popular and honest, and lived on his father's philosophy of greeting people warmly with a smile on the face.

With a great sense of humour. There was one of those legendary ' on tour ' pranks when a condom containing condensed milk was put in a certain player's bed. To management the disappointed victim went.Coach Endacott dipped his finger in the condom, tasted the contents then claimed it wasn't his !

There was an obnoxious league writer in the 1990s named Jim Marr, noted for his misquoting. Which he did with F Endacott, then a few weeks later ambled up to him at a match with a question. A heated argument followed, with Frank taking off his jacket and preparing to use Marr's bright red face for punching practice. 2 seconds later a TV camera arrived, Frank calmed down and later joked about them turning up too early and missing the scoop of the year.

I was party to some of Frank's minor violence in Townsville on a Saturday morning in July 1995. Game day for the Auckland Warriors, and I'm at the team's hotel to collect my stand tickets from head trainer Bob Lannigan, and settle  a bet with the iconic supporter named Peter ' the Mad Butcher ' Leitch. Earlier in the week ' Mad ' had been stunned by my plans to hitchhike the 345 kms from Cairns to Townsville, and wagered a beer on me managing to get to Townsville alive.

Mad started squealing about 9 a.m being too early for a beer. Second-rower Steve Kearney put him in a headlock and Frank beat Mad with a rolled up newspaper until settlement of ' an orange juice and beef sandwich ? ' in lieu of the beer was agreed. Frank liked a flutter on the horses and told Mad how stupid the bet was--- if the hitchhiker did get murdered, as Mad had originally considered, how would he be able to buy Mad his beer ?

 Frank's reserve team and the premier side both won their games that night against the North Queensland Cowboys and there was lots of happiness. More laughter in the early hours of Sunday, when Frank and Bob Lannigan strolled around a corner into the main street of Townsville, to see a bunch of local Maori and myself in our Warriors' jerseys performing the  team haka.

12 months later Frank would knock me down a few pegs. After breakfast at the team hotel on match morning of the Gold Coast game. I'm discussing horse racing with several of the team including 32 year-old utility Phil Blake, playing for his 8th club at premier level. Then job changes, and I wondered about claiming a world record with 33 employers in 42 years of life ?

You are nowhere near it , ' interjected  Frank, who then told of his own father's 112 jobs in NZ and the outback of Australia.

F Endacott's sacking as Auckland Warriors' coach in 1999 was very controversial. He even had a lot of difficulty getting his last pay, with a final assurance from the idiotic C E O that the cheque would be delivered to his house at 7 p.m. It arrived, around 11 p.m, handed to Frank by a turban-wearing taxi driver. Just the cheque, no envelope !

The role model scene has changed dramatically since the television era. You laugh at the masses who have worshipped things like the departeds Paul Holmes and Charlotte Dawson, or Paul Henry, Duncan Garner, Martin Devlin,Mike King, Tony Veitch and Jayjay Feeney etc.

But there's no space in the media for the great man from Christchurch who's been married for just over 57 years. And has more than ' one shilling in the bank ' now.

BEING FRANK. The Frank Endacott storywith John Coffey.

POINTING THE BONE AT COWARDS

September 8

Once upon a time, telling lies and dishonesty were unacceptable in New Zealand. Now it's part of the DNA. Dodgy politicians and dirty media scabs have created the vulture culture and inspired a nation of retail criminals. Pilfering and pocketing are skyrocketing.

In ancient times witchdoctors were used to punish the dodgy and dishonest by ' pointing the bone ' or placing curses. An Aboriginal chief explained it to me in Broome in 1979.So I decided to revive the practice when dealing with some of the dirty media scabs who tell lies and cower away from the truth.

 It's quite easy, you just note when offenders have a difficult Pluto phase or 2 on the horizon. Difficult Pluto phases bring difficult changes and reversals. Sometimes, within 10 seconds of noting a famous person's birthday planets, a ' shit, he's fucked ' verdict can be delivered !

SCABBY SUSAN

Like broadcaster Susan Wood, who some 25 years ago irritated a few colleagues with her snubbing Astrology, and arrogantly tossing supportive faxes over her shoulder on breakfast television.

I declared then that the dirty ' pakuranga hunt ' needed a lesson. Her elevation to TV One's 7 pm spot was forecast, along with her controversial dumping and a 2nd marriage that would be flat lasting 2 years. Spot on there, with Sunday Star-Times gossipist Bridget Saunders favourably reviewing the predictions as well.

With the big " crash " forecast in the Annual Prophesies, www.donmurrayastrologer.com on November 26, 2013:

 Wood, Susan:

Veteran  broadcaster facing two years of difficult career change as Pluto and Uranus assail Mercury.”

Big “ crash ” it was, when Wood tumbled down the stairs during a wine drinking session 2 months later, receiving brain damage severe enough to have her off work for over a year. It could be argued that Wood’s brain was severely damaged when she was bagging a subject of which she had absolutely no knowledge many years earlier.

DIRTY OLD HOLMO

Broadcasting king Paul Holmes was another who despised Astrology. With Pluto assaulting his Moon in 2007, major emotional problems and home and family issues for him were widely predicted. How embarrassing for his adoptive daughter to hit the mid-year headlines---as NZ's most famous teenage P addict !

Poor Holmes arrived for his Newstalk ZB breakfast show on Monday, October 8, 2007 and grimaced at his list of interview subjects. Including that bloody Astrologer Because he had forecast the All Black's dramatic exit from the Rugby World Cup yesterday, nearly 4 years ago, on this very same station !

Holmes wanted to keep the interview short but I had a nice long speech prepared, harking back nearly 4 years, and Holmes was getting all agitated and I kept veering off on tangents and he was getting very angry. Even tried telling lies about Astrological events in his past !

ME ME ME MIKEY

Failed comedian-turned ' mental health advocate ' Mike King got unbelievably shitty when Astrological assistance was offered to depression sufferers. Obviously scared of what the 20-minutes enlightenment would reveal, but that's becoming normal for audience cravers

 Unlike a 26 year-old Asian lady, who last weekend requested an enlightenment for her older sister in Canada. Speechless she was, for 8 or 9 minutes during the character analysis, before declaring ' That is so my sister ! ' She had just learned about the aspects for black sheep of the family, self-indulgence and hating restraint etc.

The Asian lady had genuine concern. Mikey didn't. He just wanted to be in the public eye, so the bone had to be pointed  to teach him a lesson. He had shunned the one-on-one enlightenment, so there was some public advice in the November 2018 Annual Prophesies !

King, Mike:

Major off-year for  depression " expert " with Pluto-Sun and Saturn-Mercury catastrophes. Jan, Feb, June, July, Nov, Dec crucial, then close relationship issues from Uranus-Venus mayhem in 2020.'

That " major off-year " included a mental breakdown, King's gumboot mob running out of money and a motorbike crash when he suffered 9 broken ribs, broke his collarbone and punctured a lung !

SNOTTY-NOSED JANE

Way back in 2008 there was a phone call to Herald veteran Jane Phare. She'd started there in 1976,  and did try to be a freelancer. That didn't last long and Phare was soon back with granny Herald, and with no interest in real Astrology or its inclusion in her publication.

She did offer her birth date on request, the ephemeris book was consulted and Phare was warned of a major life change ' in  a couple of years time.' ( When revolutionary Pluto was over her Venus position in conservative Capricorn.)

In ' a couple of years time '  Phare had breast cancer and one of them was removed I contacted her, still at the Herald after nearly 45 years, in June 2022 for a review, and the response was amazing:

As for predicting "life changing" events, breast cancer to me was an illness for which i was treated. It was not life changing.

Life changing for me was the birth of my son, finally, 17 years ago. You did not predict that.' 

No I didn't. Because I didn't even know his mother's birthdate then. Soon afterwards snotty-nosed Jane was slotted in for a debut in the November 2023 Annuals:

Phare, Jane:

Massive personal restructuring for the lifer journo from Pluto attacking her Mars. Feb, June and Jan 025 crucial.'

A few weeks ago this was news:

NZME newsroom overhaul: NZ Herald staff presented with new digital/print proposal, senior roles impacted. A week later NZME announced a 76% drop in profits.

Plenty of other media organisations are struggling as well, and there will be a lot more ' massive personal restructuring ' in the dirtiest industry of all. Media scabs hate to retire, because their byline-column-show is more important than anything else. Suddenly they are nobody.

Smart people can prepare for those major reversals. Forewarned is forearmed in our language.

NZ RACING'S LATEST COVER UP

September 7

The ink was barely dry after yesterday's mockery of the once noble racing industry when news of another major scandal broke.

Yet another cover up involving a high-profile Matamata trainer, in respect of illegal raceday treatment. He instructed a staff member to inject a certain horse illegally, and it still raced.

The hearing was scheduled for August 31. Maybe it's gone to that special rubbish dump for Matamata matters. Like the matters of the the Moroney gang bashings and the Moroney meth scandals, or the 15 year-old girl epics from the Te Akau regime. Or the future hall of famer who donated $15K to a trust fund for a 14 year-old pack-rape victim to protect his son's arse. Same fellow viciously insulted a stipendiary steward outside the Rotorua judicial room about 40 years ago but that disappeared as well.

NRLW v THOROUGHBRED BREEDERS

September 6

No servant anywhere could ever be described as ' great, ' least of all in the rapidly decomposing NZ racing industry.

Servants are housemaids, butlers, kitchen hands and exploited slaves. Like the stablehands of NZ who do their 70-80 weeks for much less then the minimum wage. And the breeders' labourers a.k.a journalists, like Dennis Ryan, the ' great servant ' praised recently by NZ Herald's Michael Guerin.

I met Ryan 50 years ago last month when I debuted in the press gallery at Ellerslie racecourse. He did spend quite a time training, and had a stint in Great Britain, but is back to the start, toiling in the editorship of a struggling weekly. Still writing nice stories about nice people and their nice horses, in an era where niceness isn't very saleable anymore.

A stack of horse racing books gifted to me recently includes the 1970 Hoof Beats magazine, and a table of the previous season's jumping riders. 47 of them had ridden 2 or more winners. All of them NZ-born, to make an amazing comparison with the national total of 12 jumps riders who competed at Hawera last Sunday.

FROZEN SLAVES

Only 4 NZ-borns among the 12 ! Foreign jumps riders include 49 and 43 year-olds from Ireland and a 45 year-old from Austria. Once upon a time Kiwi kids used to be ' weetbix kids, ' but nowadays there's more chance of them being ' ram raid kids ' than ' hurdle jockey kids ' No interest in working in the stables anymore. The feudal industry relies heavily on 3rd worlders from Asia, India and Mauritius, who are desperate for work and wages to send home to struggling families.

There was nothing in the recent array of stake money increases for the frozen slaves, who start collecting horse shit as early as 3 .15 a.m. 20 years ago start time was 3.30 a.m in one stable at Matamata, with workers risking forfeit of the weekly half-day off if they were late ! When the early receptionist at the Panmure swimming pool grumbles about rising at 4 a.m in winter, a few stablehand stories bring her back to reality.

With 33 years of Herald racing journalism in his CV, Guerin might even consider himself a ' great servant ' like Ryan. When ironically it is their dull and boring articles that are the problem. The racing media harp on about breeding and group races and black-type in Australia, and horses and sires and broodmares, with a distinct dearth of cult figures and controversies. So unattractive to normal humans.

MELE HUFANGA

A Reece Walsh is sorely needed, or a Latrell Mitchell or an Adin Fonua-Blake, for fans to argue about. League players, of course, and there's also a major boom in the NRLW.

  ' They're all bloody lesbians, ' scowled a rugby, racing and beer stalwart, who's joined many of his ilk in patching over to watch the women. No, only about 30%, according to contacts, but that isn't important. Their brilliant ball skills and kicking games are just as good as the men. The NRL dedicates Saturday and Sunday afternoons to the girls and you can bet on their games as well.

I had the good fortune to chat with a female road worker recently, who mentioned ' playing league ' and I recognised her as the nippy little number 9  who scored 2 tries in the recent Auckland womens' Grand Final demolition. And she's telling me all about her mates playing in the NRLW, and about 50% of the Canberra Raiders being NZ-borns and she's off to play in Sydney next year as well.

With Mele Hufanga rapidly becoming another cult figure. A massive Tongan from Otara, Mele plays centre for the Brisbane Broncos and is the competition's leading try-scorer. Always favourite for the first try in a game, as another sport plunders the NZ TAB, that until 1996 only operated on NZ horse racing.

While horse racing's betting turnovers continue to plummet, like around 15% over the last 12 months. Their problem, with our Champion Racing System performing better than ever. Even if Pluto attacking my own person this year and last has lowered the strike rate drastically, with only 2 wins from 9 investments since 2022 began !

Although it ain't too sad when those 2 winners pay $26.00 and $27.40, but I'll be aiming for 100% winners to starters when the Pluto mongrel stops harassing me next January. Heading to celebrate 40 years since the Astrological racing system was first shared with the public in November 1985.

Since 2019: 19 investments, 7 wins. Average win div $12.99 on a 36% winning strike rate ( Investment $1=$4.78 )

IMPROVEMENT FOR AUCKLAND

September 4

Knowing when the bad shit's gonna end is the big Astrological advantage.

None of the shrinks or ' mental health advocates ' can tell a suicidal creature when the destructive Pluto phase will finish. Because Astrology is really the only option for the razor gazer.

Consider poor old Auckland. Very distressed and angry at present, many struggling after Covid and god's washing machine working overtime last summer. When investigation then detected the big problem-- Neptune in Pisces causing grief when opposing Auckland's natal Sun ! Officially between Virgo 24.38 and 25.38 degrees, courtesy of an 18 September, 1840 registration date.

It must be noted that Virgo's best friends are Capricorn and Taurus, with Pisces, Gemini and Sagittarius his enemies. Pluto's soon-to-be-finished Tour de Capricorn included his assisting Auckland's Virgo Sun with a powerful trine in 2021, especially the first 6 months when Auckland was basking in America's Cup glory. With the final leg in the 2021-22 summer, a time of elation after a 4-months lockdown ended in December.

POOR LUXON

Then Neptune in enemy Pisces started his harassment of Auckland's Sun, officially from May last year until January 2024. In the upcoming months there will be lots of liquidations and lay-offs, more rammies and robberies and unbelievable problems for the new P.M, Luxon. But improvement thereafter, especially with the Uranian awesomeness looming !

Since 2018, the erratic genius Uranus has been in Taurus, the domain of money and possessions, causing much disruption therein with all the financial problems and large debts from the Covid con. Although not everybody was conned, because Uranus can be helpful. He's currently at Taurus 23 degrees in retrograde motion before doing another U-turn next January and preparing to rescue Auckland's Virgo Sun and make it a lot more positive.

Uranus' Tour de Taurus  at 24-25 degrees will  bring a lot of  improvements for Auckland's morale, especially around June and November next year, and March 2025.

As noted 2 years back, NZ has got all kinds of disruptions from Jupiter v Sun, Mars v Pluto and Saturn v Moon wrecking the next 6 months. Thereafter improvement. Rather coincidentally May 2024  has NZ benefitting from a rare,  progressed Pluto trine to the Sun. 

Hang in there, Aucklanders. There is light at the end of the dark tunnel.
