College Football Week 5, Big Ten Schedule

September 21, 2025

Good morning, everyone!  Here’s a look at the College Football Week 5 schedule for games involving Big Ten teams.  I know, I know, there are only six games this weekend, but this is going to be an interesting week of football for the Big Ten.

First of all, we have the game between Oregon and Penn State, which really needs no introduction, but how about the game between Ohio State and Washington?  Both teams are undefeated, but how good is this Washington team?  Can you imagine if the Huskies beat the Buckeyes and go 4-0?

Then, we have USC and Illinois.  The Fighting Illini are looking to avenge last week’s embarrassing loss to Indiana, and USC is looking to extend their winning streak to five games.  If Illinois loses this one, it might be a fall from grace right out of the AP Top 25.

The situation is similar for Rutgers.  After suffering a heart-breaking loss to Iowa at home, the Scarlett Knights are looking to get back on track, but Minnesota isn’t going to be easy, and, finally, will UCLA get their first win of the 2025 season against Northwestern?

Bye Week

Big Ten College Football Preview; Week 3

September 8, 2025

There are fifteen games scheduled this week featuring teams from the Big Ten College Football Conference.  Two of those games will be played on Friday, September 12th, and thirteen will be played throughout the day on Saturday, September 13th. Welcome to the third week of the college football season! Here is your Big Ten Preview.

Friday, September 12, 2015

6:30 P.M.

Indiana State (2-0) @ (22) Indiana (2-0)

Right now, the Hoosiers are 2-0 overall and expecting to pick up win number three Friday night against an undefeated Indiana State team.  Is Indiana worthy of that #22 national ranking?  Honestly, I think it’s too early to tell, and Indiana State isn’t really going to be the team to test them.

When I look at the Hoosiers, I like what I see.  At home against Kennesaw State last week, Indiana amassed 593 yards of total offense and scored 56 points.  Quarterback, Fernando Mendoza, completed 18 of 25 passes for 4 touchdowns and 245 yards. 

Running back, Lee Beebe ran for 90 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries, and Maryland transfer, Roman Hemby, picked up another 64 yards on 9 carries. Defensively, the Hoosiers looked good as well.  They played with good awareness and high energy. 

Like I said before, Indiana State isn’t a good test for them, this is more of a tune-up game/possible trap game, but the Hoosiers should get their third win at home Friday night.

10:00 P.M.

UCLA (0-2) @ New Mexico (1-1)

I’m going to ask the question that everyone is thinking. Is this the week that UCLA finally gets their first win of the 2025 season?

In Week 1, UCLA lost 43-10 to a Utah team that was nationally ranked at #20. Last week, they played UNLV, and they lost again, 30-23, but the interesting thing is that the Rebels are 3-0 now, and I think UNLV might’ve been a much better team than the Bruins expected. I’m not making excuses for them, I’m just saying.

New Mexico beat Idaho State last week for their first win of the season, but it was a closer game than the final score would lead you to believe. In their first game, the Lobos showed a lot of heart in the Big House against Michigan, and yes, they did lose to Michigan 34-17, but New Mexico played hard.  I think it was a 17-10 ball game at the half.

If UCLA expects to win this week, they’ll need to clean up their act.  In that loss to UNLV, the Bruins were penalized 14 times for 129 yards, and they turned the ball over twice.  That’s crazy!  If they can protect the football and play mistake free, they should win, but it’s not going to be easy.  New Mexico is scrappy, and they’re not going to lay down for the worst team in the Big Ten when they already stood up to Michigan.

Saturday, September 13, 2025

12:00 P.M.

Central Michigan (1-1) @ (23) Michigan (1-1)

Michigan is looking to get back on track this week after a 24-13 loss to the Sooners, but in order for the Wolverines to that, they’ll need a better performance from their quarterback, Bryce Underwood, who completed just 9 of 24 passes last week.  In general, the offense needs to start fast this week, and they need to do a much better job on 3rd down.

Central Michigan began their season with a win but took an ass whooping from Pitt last week.  In their 45-17 loss to Pitt, Central Michigan was penalized 9 times for 75 yards.  They were also held to just 40 rushing yards.

Michigan is home this week, and a loss to Central Michigan would be totally unacceptable.

Towson (2-0) @ Maryland (2-0)

The Maryland Terrapins are currently 2-0 overall. They beat Florida Atlantic in Week 1, 39-7, and last week, they beat Northern Illinois 20-9. Quarterback, Malik Washington, threw for 254 yards and 2 touchdowns, and tight end, Dorian Fleming, caught 4 balls for 70 yards and 1 touchdown. Senior receiver, Jalil Farooq, caught 5 passes for 55 yards.

On the ground, Nolan Ray and DeJuan William split the rushing duties. Combined, they rushed for 71 yards on 21 carries.

Towson is 2-0. They beat Norfolk State 27-7, and last week, they beat Morgan State 27-22. The Towson Tigers are playing with confidence, and they think they can steal one in the shell.

Houston Christian (1-1) @ Nebraska (2-0)

Last week, Houston Christian lost to Eastern Kentucky 20-10. Nebraska is 2-0 overall and they’re going to be much harder to beat than Eastern Kentucky was. Nebraska looked good last week against Akron. They won 68-0! Quarterback, Dylan Raiola, completed 24 of 31 pass attempts for 364 yards and 4 touchdowns. Running back, Emmett Johnson, averaged 10 yards per carry, and Jacory Barney Jr. caught 7 passes for 132 yards. Nebraska had 728 yards of total offense and pitched a shutout! It’s going to be a long day for Houston Christian.

(4) Oregon (2-0) @ Northwestern (1-1)

I think this is the first game of the season featuring two Big Ten teams. Northwestern bounced back rather quickly from a Week 1 loss to a pretty good Tulane team by destroying Western Illinois 42-7. This week, the Ducks are coming to town. Oregon is ranked fourth nationally, and they made a statement last week after beating Oklahoma State 69-3. Oregon is playing with a chip on their shoulder, and rightfully so. It seems like Penn State and Ohio State are getting all the attention.

Wisconsin (2-0) @ (19) Alabama (1-1)

Alabama started this season ranked eighth nationally but then fell significantly after losing to Florida State 31-17. The Crimson Tide redeemed themselves with a Week 2 win over Louisiana Monroe. Alabama won big last week 73-0.

Wisconsin is 2-0 after victories over Middle Tennessee State and Miami Ohio. The Badger defense held Miami to 117 yards of total offense and just 34 yards rushing. Miami didn’t convert a third down for the entire game, and Wisconsin possessed the ball for almost 40 minutes.

This game is super interesting. Was Alabama’s loss to Florida State an early season fluke? How good is Wisconsin? No one expects Wisconsin to win this game on the road, but hey, this is college football. No one expected Florida State to beat Alabama either. Alabama quarterback, Ty Simpson, is hot. He was 17 for 17 last week, and in two weeks, he has thrown for almost 500 yards and 5 touchdowns. Alabama has the edge here, but don’t count the Badgers out until the final whistle.

3:30 P.M.

Youngstown State (2-0) @ Michigan State (2-0)

The Youngstown State Penguins are 2-0, and they have something special going on with quarterback, Beau Brungard. He made Robert Morris look silly last weekend after rushing for 264 yards and 4 touchdowns from the quarterback position, but Brungard and the Penguin offense will face a much faster defense this week.

Michigan State beat Boston College last week in overtime for their second win. Wide receiver, Nick Marsh, showed everyone just how tough he can be when running after a catch. He caught 5 balls for 68 yards and 2 touchdowns. Quarterback, Aiden Chiles, finished the day with 231 yards passing and 4 touchdowns. The Spartans defense played the run well and held the Eagles to only 67 yards on the ground.

I don’t think this is going to be a blow-out victory for Michigan State, but I do expect them win. Youngstown State’s offense will challenge the Spartans, but defensively, they don’t have enough.

Villanova (1-0) @ (2) Penn State (2-0)

I don’t know man, I think Penn State is a little overrated. They beat Nevada in Week 1, 46-11, and they beat Florida International last week 34-0, but I wasn’t impressed with that win at all. Florida International played the Nittany Lions tough, and they were only losing 10-0 at halftime. I feel like if Penn State doesn’t beat Villanova this weekend by 60 points, it’s a loss.

USC (2-0) @ Purdue (2-0)

Interesting. This is the first conference game for both teams, and at this point, both are undefeated. The winner of this game will be 3-0 overall and 1-0 in Big Ten play-that’s not a bad start at all, but who will it be? They said this was a rebuilding season for Purdue, and they were picked to finish dead last in the Big Ten, which is a big deal because the Big Ten has eighteen teams now.

USC isn’t the USC of old, well, not yet anyway, but they do have a lot of speed on offense, and their quarterback, Jayden Maiava is pretty good. USC has a little bit of an edge in this game, but I expect Purdue to play hard, especially at home.

Norfolk State (1-1) @ Rutgers (2-0)

When Rutgers looked at their 2025 schedule before this season started, I’m pretty sure they said to themselves, “Hmm, we can start this season with three wins.” Well, they beat Ohio (but almost blew it), they beat Miami (Ohio), and Norfolk State will be victory number three. There it is, they expected to be undefeated heading into their Week 4 showdown against Iowa, and that’s exactly how it’s going down.

7:00 P.M.

Ohio (1-1) @ (1) Ohio State (2-0)

Ohio is a good football team, and they’re competitive, but the Buckeyes are on a level right now that no other team seems even close to. The Buckeyes opened their season with a game against Texas, who at the time, was ranked #1. They won 14-7, and Arch Manning was a none factor. In their game against Grambling State, we got to see how deep with talent their roster really is, and believe me, it’s deep. Quarterback, Julian Sayin is only going to get better. Parker Navarro will be fun to watch, but don’t expect him to run around like he did against Rutgers. Ohio State’s defense will make him earn every inch.

Western Michigan (0-2) @ (9) Illinois (2-0)

Wow! The Fighting Illini are 2-0 and ranked 9th nationally. They blew out Western Illinois in their 2025 opener, 52-3, and then in Week 2, they went on the road to face Duke for an early season test. They beat Duke 45-19! There’s a lot of experience on this Illinois team. I think they brought back seven seniors on defense and seven on the offensive side as well, including underrated quarterback, Luke Altmyer. So, it’s two games and zero turnovers, and the offense is averaging well over 400 yards per game. Wide receiver, Hank Beatty, caught 8 balls for 128 yards against Duke, and we should see more of Altmyer to Beatty this weekend.

7:30 P.M

UMASS (0-2) @ Iowa (1-1)

UMASS hasn’t won a game yet, and I don’t think this week is going to be any different. Iowa lost a close game to Iowa State last week, so in a sense, I feel like it’s back to the drawing board for the Hawkeyes. Iowa is going to win at home this week, but more importantly, they need this game to fine tune things before heading to New Jersey for a Big Ten match up against Rutgers next week. It’s a good opportunity for quarterback, Mark Gronowski and the rest of the Iowa offense to gel and find some consistency.

10:30 P.M.

Minnesota (2-0) @ Cal (2-0)

After wins against Buffalo and North Western State, the Gophers are Golden at 2-0.  Defensively, Minnesota has allowed only 193 yards of total offense in two games, and Buffalo was considered to be one of the best teams in the MAC.

Minnesota running back, Darius Taylor, had 30 carries for 141 yards against Buffalo, but there are rumors about him being injured, and as of now, Taylor’s status for this week’s game against Cal is unknown.  If he can’t go, Grant Washington should see significant playing time.

California defeated Texas Southern 35-3 and Oregon State 34-15.  Cal’s quarterback, Jaron Sagapolutele, completed 26 of 37 passes for 259 yards against Texas Southern, and against Oregon State, he threw 30 passes and completed 20 for 234 yards and 3 touchdowns.

Sagapolutele is young.  He’s only 18 years old, and I expect Minnesota to attack that inexperience.  They’ll try to confuse him by disguising coverages, and they’ll use different blitz packages to keep the pressure on all day. Minnesota wants to rattle him and force him to make mistakes, and at the end of the day, I think their game plan will be successful.  Minnesota wins on the road and extends their winning streak to three games.

Ohio at Rutgers

August 25, 2025

Week 1 of the 2025 college football season begins this Thursday, August 28th. There are fourteen games involving Big Ten teams scheduled to play on Thursday, but this preview is for the game between Rutgers and Ohio.

Ohio Bobcats

The Ohio Bobcats are predicted to finish 4th in the MAC Conference. They finished their 2024 season with 11 wins after a 30-27 victory over Jacksonville State in the Cure Bowl. Overall, they finished 11-3, and they were 7-1 in the MAC.

Anthony Tyus III is no longer with the Ohio Bobcats. He plays for the Seattle Seahawks now-let’s start there. The good news for Ohio, however, is that senior running back, Sieh Bangura, who was once a 1,000-yard rusher for Ohio, but transferred out to Minnesota for the 2024 season, just transferred back in. That’s huge.

Senior quarterback, Parker Navarro, is back! Navarro is strong, fast, and athletic. Last season, he threw for 2,423 yards and 13 touchdowns, and he rushed for another 1,100 (That’s actually very close to Vince Young’s numbers in 2006). That’s a lot of productivity, but Navarro won’t have to do it all by himself.

We know they have a guy back who can run the ball, and at wide receiver, juniors, Rodney Harris II, and Chase Hendricks, lead a deep and talented group.

The offensive line will be pieced together around two seniors, left tackle, Davion Weatherspoon, and right guard, Trent Allen. 6′ 4″, 310-pound-center, Kam Wright, steps in as a redshirt junior who saw action in 11 games last season. The right tackle, Jordan Jones, is also a redshirt junior who played in 11 games last year with the Bobcats.

Defensively, well, this is where things get interesting for Ohio because they had an absolute beast coming back at defensive end, senior, Bradley Weaver. Weaver decided to transfer to Rutgers! As a matter of fact, the defense lost seven starters.

The strength of Ohio’s defense will be their secondary. They have three seniors returning in the defensive backfield and All-MAC sophomore, free safety, DJ Walker. The group is led by All-MAC senior, cornerback, Tank Pearson.

At linebacker, they have French Fries. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Just kidding. I’m talking about junior linebacker, Jack Fries. Fries is a redshirt junior, and he didn’t get much playing time last season.

Their starting front seven consists of six juniors and a sophomore. It’s a young and inexperienced group. Sophomore defensive tackle, Austin Mitchell, saw action in five games last season, and he’s the only starter on this year’s defensive line that was actually with the Bobcats last season.

Rutgers Scarlet Knights

In the tough and extremely competitive Big Ten Conference, Rutgers is predicted to finish 12th. The Scarlet Knights finished their 2024 season with a loss to Kansas State in the Rate Bowl. They were 7-6 overall, and 4-5 in the Big Ten.

On the offense, Rutgers has eight seniors in the starting lineup, and three of them are studs on the o-line. Left tackle, Tyler Needham, left guard, Bryan Felter, and center, Gus Zilinskas, anchor a very strong and experienced group.

At running back, we got to see then freshman, Antwan Raymond, score his sixth touchdown of the season in the Rate Bowl. Raymond is good enough to start as a true sophomore, but Rutgers will feature a senior, CJ Cambell Jr. Cambell transferred from Florida Atlantic.

Senior quarterback, Athan Kaliakmanis is back, and so is his stud tight end, Kenny Fletcher Jr. Wide Receiver seems to be a strength for Rutgers. They have a young talented sophomore, Ben Black, but this group will be led by the senior transfer from North Texas, DT Sheffield. Ian Strong and KJ Duff are good.

Defensively, the Scarlet Knights will start the Ohio transfer, Bradley Weaver, at defensive end, and both tackles are back from last season, Zaire Angoy and Keshon Griffen. The Scarlet Knights actually have six seniors starting in their front seven, and the only junior happens to be their star linebacker, Dariel Djabome.

In the secondary, Rutgers got two seniors who transferred and will start immediately. Safety, Jett Elad, transferred from UNLV, and cornerback, Cam Miller, transferred from Penn State. Senior safety, Al-Shadee Salaam is solid.

Conclusion and Predictions

When seniors transfer, they usually do so for two reasons: to start immediately, and to win a championship. That’s what I think of when I look at Rutgers. Do I think Rutgers can win a national championship? Heck no, lol, but I think the mindset of guys like Bradely Weaver and Cam Miller is to come together for that one great season.

This is the first game of the season for both teams, and I know they’re both looking to walk away with a win. It’s a Thursday night game and the Scarlet Knights are playing in front of their home crowd. The atmosphere will be electric.

If Ohio can’t stop Rutgers from running the ball, this will be a long evening for the Bobcats. Honestly, I’m wondering if Ohio has enough to win this game. They have Navarro, they have a capable running back, and they have the talent at wide receiver, but their o-line is questionable. On defense, their front seven lacks experience and leadership.

Keep something in mind. Rutgers is building a team that has to compete with teams like Ohio State, Penn State, Oregon, Michigan, etc. It’s cliche to say, but they’re built differently.

Ohio’s defense lost seven starters, and that’s the same defensive unit that almost blew a 27-7 lead at halftime to Jacksonville State in the Cure Bowl.

The Scarlet Knights must begin this season with three consecutive wins before heading into Big Ten action, and that begins with a win against Ohio.

My Pick to Win: Rutgers

My Pick Versus the Point Spread: Rutgers +14

Mars, Mercury, and Astraea Connect Houses Twelve, Two, and Ten

Augustus 23, 2025

Good morning!

A look at the current astrological alignment revealed a Twelfth House Mars in Libra, Mercury in Leo in the Tenth House, and Astraea in Sagittarius in the Second House.

Taking an aggressive approach to a possible lawsuit involving the workplace, or because of some form of defamation or libel that has destroyed your reputation with the public, seems like the way to go now.

Perhaps you’ll gain enemies from following through with that plan, but were they really your friends to begin with?

This is about truth, and it’s about righting a wrong that, quite frankly, could’ve been a long time coming.

The alignments of these planets and the relationships between them can manifest in many different ways.

The Second House governs survival and the necessities that, at the very least, support life or some form of comfortable living.  A trine to Mercury in the Tenth House indicates that any type of conversation or commerce aimed at increasing possessions, money, or that which is needed to survive is good. 

However, a Twelfth House Mars warns against violence from secret enemies, and so, with Mercury, the God of Communication, in trine with Astraea in the Second House, I would refrain from speaking about money or personal possessions in front of certain people.

It’s not that jealousy is so much of an issue now, but it looks to be more like entitlement. 

Sometimes, you have people who are not honest with themselves about their own ability, or their own efforts to acquire what they want and need in life, and no matter what you say to these people, it’s hard for them to release the thought or feeling that they’ve been wronged or slighted.

Overhearing a conversation about how good your life is, and how much money you just spent on clothes and jewelry, can be enough to trigger them if they believe it’s them who should be at the top of the mountain instead of you.

They don’t see their actions as being motivated by jealousy but rather as some form of justice.

On a good note, this alignment favors fun and earning money or acquiring possessions in a fun or pleasurable way. 

Mars in the Twelfth House is not only about secret enemies and violence.

When things are hidden from us or kept in secret, it can take a real effort both physically and mentally to get to the bottom of things.  It can be draining, but more importantly, it’s a natural deterrent.  

Mars in the Twelfth House makes us assertive, energetic, and aggressive when it comes to penetrating the depths of something.  We won’t take no for an answer, and taking this kind of action when no one else will can be highly rewarding.

Some type of secret is discovered now, and the revelation of it will not only balance the scales, but it will also provide a feeling of love and harmony that for a very long time, has been missing from your life.

Innocent White People the Target of Vicious Racial Assault

What took place in Cincinatti on July 26th, was not a melee, it was not a street brawl as the mainstream news would like you to believe. It was racially motivated, it was senseless, it was one-sided, it was vicious, and it was terroristic.

This woman pictured below is not only a hero, but her courage and bravery might have saved someone’s life who was being beat to death. While a cowardice crowd stood around filming this assault with their cell phones, this woman decided to step in to try to stop what was going on, but she was immediately punched in the face and knocked unconscious by a black male who then felt the need to stand over her and celebrate by dancing.

This poor woman ended up in tears as she, first the first time since the attack happened, decided to do an interview. Not only was she physically assaulted, but she’s now suffering severe emotional and psychological damage as that night keeps replaying over and over again in her head.

It’s not even what happened to her that’s troubling her, it’s the image of the man who reached out to her bloodied and battered and said, “Please, help me, God, please help me God.”

Is the answer to add more police? Is the answer to increase the size of government to infringe on the lives of everyone who wasn’t involved. I’m sure some people would say yes, but I would let this situation be a wake-up call. Let it sink in.

Getting into a fight is one thing, but this attack was on another level. Imagine being attacked for no reason and beat senselessly in front of a large crowd who instead of helping or calling 911, decided to film it and cheer your attackers on.

Imagine that.

Imagine being attacked by a group of young black men and women who were celebrating and dancing, taunting you, and shouting racial slurs as they stomped your head into street.

If a group of young white men and women did this, there would be national outrage.

In an unrelated incident, a black woman who was a city hall employee, just lost her job because she staged a fake hate crime.

Can you believe this?

She placed a noose on her own desk, and she tried to blame it on white people. She got caught and lost her job. Good!

Who the fuck does something like that?

I’ll tell you. A black woman who hates white people, that’s who.

Stop buying into the story lines that black people are oppressed in this country, and stop buying into the story lines that all white people are racist.

Atlantis Found?

July 16, 2025

Off the coast of Cadiz, Spain, is the location for the recent possible discovery of Ancient Atlantis. This, of course, is an exciting discovery because not only does it help us track human’s time here on earth, but it also proves that we absolutely do live on a planet that undergoes dramatic changes that are geographical in nature.

Here is the problem with this discovery. The Vatican, and those groups that are responsible for shaping human perception by controlling what we read, hear, and see, aren’t ready to release the truth yet.

So, even if the people who made this discovery, actually found ancient Atlantis, the mainstream will be geared towards disproving their claim and discrediting them individually. Honest people who are seeking the truth-this is what we’re up against.

Science is the strong arm of the church. The church wants full control over all spiritual matters, things that are unexplainable, natural healing, and pretty much anything to do with what people call God. Science is there only to refute people whose claims challenge the authority of the church.

We got all that, right? We’re above and beyond all the games that are designed to keep the truth from the people, right? Okay. Let’s move on to what was found.

Archaeologist, Michael Donnellon, believes he discovered evidence of the real ancient civilization, Atlantis. This report comes from an article published on thearchaeologist.org two days ago on July 14th.

Donnellon’s discovery came off the coast of Cadiz, Spain, only miles from the Straights of Gibraltar. Apparently, Donnellon has been exploring the area for the past eight years with advanced technology capable of mapping the seafloor. He found a series of enormous circular walls arranged in an organized pattern, carved canals between the outer walls, and a rectangular monument in the center of it all believed to be Poseidon’s Temple.

It’s an interesting and an exciting discovery indeed, especially for those of us who are ready for the revelation.

The Universe Has Amazing Timing

July 8, 2025

Good evening!

In 2003, I graduated from William Paterson University earning a Bachelor of Arts. Four years later, I set out on my spiritual quest, and by 2011, I was enrolled in another undergraduate program.

This one, however, was a little different. My awakening had started, and I knew my consciousness was expanding, so naturally, I had many questions. I wasn’t sure exactly what I was looking for when I joined the University of Metaphysical Sciences in Arcata, California, but energetically, I was drawn to their program.

Today, I just received my second bachelor’s degree, this one a Bachelor of Metaphysics, and some people asked me, “What took you so long?”

Well, I enrolled in 2011, and it’s now 2025. That’s like fourteen years, and honestly, that’s triple the time it took me to earn my first bachelors, but like I said, this one was a little different.

My education with the University of Metaphysical Sciences has been congruent with my spiritual journey. Yes, this journey, and the process of learning along the way is highly personal, and as I’ve learned, it’s all under divine timing.

I looked over my degree closely, and my official graduation date was June 25, 2025.

On Wednesday, June 25, 2025, a brand-new lunar cycle had just begun in Cancer! Yes, this current lunar cycle that culminates in two more days on the 10th, began on the 25th of last month.

While the significance of this is difficult to explain, it will be totally understood by those who understand the meaning of timing in accordance with the phases of the moon.

A person couldn’t ask for a better and more divinely guided start. When one door closes, another door is sure to open, and this is truly a blessing.

I would like to thank everyone at the University of Metaphysical Sciences (Arcata, California), but we’re not done yet. There’s still a lot of work to do. I look forward to focusing on and developing my psychic abilities and taking my astrology work to an extremely high level.

Looking at the Current Ascendent/Descendent Axis

June 28, 2025

Hello everyone! At approximately 3:53 pm, Scorpio was rising, so let’s take a look at the polarity between Taurus and Scorpio.

Both Taurus and Scorpio are fixed, and both are feminine, so, we have this very passive and introverted energy that can be resistant to change. Please, don’t panic when you see “fixed”. A lot of people do, and they think, immediately, that it’s a bad thing. When you have two signs like Taurus and Scorpio, as determined and perseverant as they are, there’s a certain amount of stubbornness that comes with the personality. It’s natural.

As a matter of fact, it’s difficult to be passionate, determined, and committed without being a little resistant to change. The key is to know when you’ve pushed the envelope as far as it can be pushed. When your resistance to change becomes costly, then you must reconsider things if the preservation of what you have is important to you.

Taurus is an earth sign, and when we’re talking about earth, we’re dealing with sense, the five human senses we use to experience this reality. Earth signs are grounded, and they give is the ability to be in the moment-to be here now.

Scorpio is a water sign, and when we’re talking about water, we’re dealing with intuition. A lot of people say water signs deal with feelings, and while I used to slightly agree with that, I don’t anymore. Feelings, I believe, are something completely different, and I don’t want to get into that now, but if you really think about it, how we feel or our feelings, are stirred up or invoked through the senses.

When it comes to the balancing of any polarity involving water and earth, I like to say this: “It’s a muddy mess.”

If you take water and add it to earth, you get mud. You have a muddy mess, and you then have to get dirty and dive into that muddy mess to find something of value. The is the balancing between our intuition and our senses, and this can be tricky.

Without our senses it would be almost impossible for us to experience this life let alone enjoy it, but just because something appeals to us through our senses, that doesn’t mean it’s good for us.

Take food for example. A lot of foods that taste good aren’t actually the healthiest foods for us to eat. We can actually be misled by our senses, and an overindulgence in things we desire can bury that little voice within we call intuition. Balance. You must absolutely enjoy life, but not at the expense of your higher self.

There are certain darker qualities in the sign of Scorpio that can burn us up. Vindictive and merciless are two that come to mind immediately, but jealousy is another one. We need to have to control over these qualities because Scorpio can be extremely passionate. The good qualities of Taurus, if prominent, can certainly help us manifest the most beneficial outcomes. Trustworthiness and patience can help balance the dark side of Scorpio.

Right now, with the ascendant on Scorpio, and the descendent on Taurus, we’re dealing with the First House and the Seventh House. The First House is us and the Seventh House is the other-our partners, our partnerships, marriage, or our enemies.

Don’t get discouraged if you’re having a difficult time balancing this polarity. You’re not going to learn everything alone. Clearly, some of what we need to learn must come from someone else.

Murder in an Indiana Home

June 4, 2025

On Thursday, May 29, 2025, at approximately 8:30 p.m., a man called 911 and told the operator that he just shot four people in his Indiana home, and three were dead. Let’s look at the astrology chart for that date and time.

When I look at this chart, the Grand Fire Trine is what jumps out immediately. The trine aspect is favorable, but there’s other stuff going on here. The ascendant or rising sign is in Sagittarius (mutable/fire), Venus is in Aries (cardinal/fire) in the Fourth House, and Mars is in Leo (fixed/fire) in the Eighth House.

Fire is emotional, so with all three fire signs connecting, it’s obvious that this event was emotionally fueled. The mutable quality of Sagittarius indicates a changeable energy, which means there could be a swing in any direction in terms of action. Mutable energy is moldable to the environment, so an environment that’s calm and cool could produce cool people, and a volatile or dangerous situation could produce people who are likely to become more aggressive and adaptable to the rising levels of violence.

The sign of Sagittarius is a freedom-loving sign, and if there’s one thing that upsets the creative explorer, it’s responsibilities. We could have a situation here involving an individual who felt overwhelmed by pressure and responsibilities. This could’ve been an individual who felt trapped and suffocated with no escape and no way out.

When we make our way over to the next point in our trine, we arrive at Venus in Aries in the Fourth House. Aries in the Fourth House indicates a potentially violent and dangerous home environment. At the very least, we see a home with conflicts and lots of arguing, but also one that’s filled with creative and inspirational energy as well. The presence of Venus means there was love in the home, and love between members. I didn’t see who this man killed, but there’s a very good chance that this situation began with or involved his wife, mother, or some female.

The last point in our trine is Mars in Leo in the Eighth House. I mean, here it is. We have the God of War and Violence in the Eighth House of Death. Mars in the Eighth House can indeed manifest as murder or non-accidental death by violence.

Sagittarius on the ascendant is ruled Jupiter, and this chart is also ruled by Jupiter. Jupiter is in the Seventh House of Marriages and Partnerships. This could’ve been a marriage turned bad, and Jupiter loves to provide in abundance. So, if killing is on the menu, it’s going to be a lot of killing. This situation is great example of that (when it rains it pours). Four people in total were shot, three died, and one was delivered to the hospital.

The moon is also in the Eighth House, and on May 29th, the moon was in its waxing crescent phase. Over the years, my research has indicated that more murders occur during the waxing crescent phase of the moon than any other phase.

The connection between Venus and the South Node in the Ninth House tells me that this entire issue was about something that happened in the past. Whenever the South Node is involved, there’s always problems and issues from the past.

When problems from the past resurface, that means either something happened that was kept in secret and revealed after a long time, which creates a problem now, or there was a situation that was left unresolved. Either way, there was more than likely an argument about something that happened in the past.

Uranus square Mars is the defining aspect here. Uranus represents the unexpected, the shock, and the thing that comes without warning. Uranus in the Sixth House (ruled by Virgo) square Mars in the Eighth House is unexpected violence leading to death. This is the altercation that begins as an argument and ends with someone pulling a gun out and shooting the other person.

Uranus rules Aquarius, and Aquarius is in the Second House. The Second House rules money and resources. Before, I mentioned a person who was overwhelmed with pressure and mounting responsibilities, and a person could’ve felt trapped or suffocated in some way. Now, Aquarius is providing us with another clue, especially with Pluto in the Second House.

I don’t know the details (who was killed and why), but this chart is revealing a situation where a wife is fighting with husband over money and resources or possessions. Maybe an argument began with her calling him a loser or a deadbeat. The conversation could’ve involved his ability to work (Sixth House of Work and Service) and be a provider. It’s highly emotional and passionate situation with personal and degrading comments that caused an unstable person with mounting pressure to pick up a gun and shoot everyone in the house. This may or may not have been the case, but that’s what I’m seeing in this chart.

This was a terrible situation, an unfortunate situation. One person is going to jail, one went to the hospital, and three people died.

The astrology, however, holds up here, which tells me that this situation was fated and written in the stars.

Pirates Rally Back; Down Six

May 28, 2025

I said once I started watching the Pirates, they would start winning, but I can’t take all the credit for what transpired yesterday.

Pittsburg was losing 6-0, until Henry Davis gave the Pirates new life with a two-run homerun in the top of the sixth.

Then, it was the top of eighth inning, and the Diamond Backs were winning by four. Tommy Pham singled and drove in a run, it was 6-3. Isiah Kiner-Falefa stepped to the plate with the bases loaded, and he cleared them with a double.

The game was tied at 6!

The bleachers erupted, it was pandemonium; and then, the unthinkable happened. Brian Reynolds hit a three-run home run, and the Pirates finally took the lead. The score was 9-6 and, that’s the way it stayed until the end.

Pittsburgh won 9-6.

The starting pitchers:

Corbin Burnes for the Diamond Backs versus Mike Burrows.
