2023:CHINA ' DONALDED ' AS WELL
December 31
Back on October 24, it was revealed that the USA is reasonably ' Donalded ' for late 2023.
Joining Australia and NZ in the No Win Bin. With Britain's new prime minister also suffering a pair of chaotic Uranus transits next year as well !
Similar to the Russian leader, who made last month's Annual Prophesies:
' Putin, Vladimir:
An horrific year, with Uranus chaoticizing his Jupiter, Midheaven and Node points. Turmoil in May, June, Nov, Dec and Feb, March, April 024. Much stress from Neptune whacking his Mars in April, Sept and Feb 024. There's Saturn-Moon despondency in March, Sept and Dec.'
Next stop was the natal chart of China. A big ouch there, with explosive activity around May and June. A Mars--Jupiter negative is very unproductive and often aligned with job loss.The 2nd House of money and possessions is very involved.
Same era has Neptune--Sun negativity, causing a victim to be gullible, confused, unhealthy and careless with money. House 10 of status and ranking is involved, also the 9th of foreign lands.....
The deterioration continues with a serious Sun-Saturn negative supervising great restrictions in October, November and December. The domains of finance and foreign lands are involved !
Things are already quite serious over there, from reports: ';Overwhelmed emergency wards. Queues outside crematoriums. Terrified people refusing to leave home. It’s the pandemic nightmare everybody feared. It’s happening now. China is experiencing a Covid-19 surge unlike any other.'
Like it's Bachman-Turner-Overdrive time and ' B-b-b-baby you just ain't seen nothin' yet '

CHUTNEY MAN--ADJOURNED AGAIN
December 29
We lit the first match here on June 27, 2020.
Information was received about a high-profile harness racing professional sexually abusing one of his teenage, male employees. In our revelations the abuser was dubbed ' Chutney Man.'
Earlier the victim had taken the matter to the Racing Integrity Unit but they didn't want to know......
Word got around, though. Gang members visited Chutney Man over the accusations and he called the police. Who eventually got very interested in the abuse case, with charges laid, and 2 more abuse victims came forward after the original story.
A few weeks back Chutney Man was in court and allegedly ' not going too well.' Then adjourned till next year, after yet another male victim came forward !
The archives of the great science contain some very accurate predictions on courtroom matters. 10.5 years ago it was decreed that the accused in the very notable Scott Guy murder would be acquitted. He was, surprising most, and a few years earlier there was a private stunner.
A fellow was expecting to serve a minimum of 2 years, after pleading guilty to unsuccessfully trying to get a hitman to bump off his ex-wife. Courtesy of aspects indicating positive residential movement, he'd be free in 12 months time ' or on Home D.'
' But it's a crime with no provisions for home detention ! '
Just wait and see, he was told. 13 months later the ex-wife rings me with the news that he's free and staying with their oldest son !
There is no time of arrival for Chutney Man, but he wouldn't want to be fronting a beak in February. Serious Saturn is harassing his Sun and Venus positions. Then nebulous Neptune will be molesting his Mercury position until February 2024, with April and September 2023 crucial months.
Hard to see Chutney Man getting off under those aspects...

COLIN JILLINGS
December 27
The horse training legend Colin Maurice Jillings ( 91 ) went to the big track above last Friday.
I first met him as a junior racing journalist in 1973. When I learned that already C M Jillings was the rare, complete trainer. He'd won major races with stayers, sprinters and jumpers, as well as the classic 2 and 3 year-old races. He was very astute when setting them for the punt as well.
In February 1976 a national competition was announced for junior racing writers, to submit a story with a yearling sales theme. On January 1, 45 year-old C M Jillings trained his 3rd Auckland Cup winner at Ellerslie with Perhaps and a few weeks later purchased her half brother at the yearling sales.
That was the story I thought, but Jillo's buy had nothing to do with its breeding. He selected his horses on conformation and temperament, and was very attracted to the super-relaxed and laidback ones who never stressed and saved their emotional energies for the big race.
Jillo's wisdom helped me to win first prize and 10 days at the Sydney Cup meeting at Easter with accommodation in the Boulevard Hotel. A decade later and Jillo became quite fascinated with the theories I had gained through studying Astrology.
Like countless great sportspersons and coaches, Jillo was intelligent enough to understand the only science that can explain the unexplainable. Especially after a long-range prediction on jockey Paul Hillis coincided with his winning the 1987 Great Northern Steeples on a Jillo jumper that paid $12.55 for the win !
C M Jillings shared the March 11, 1931 birthdate with notables like Australian publisher Rupert Murdoch and Greymouth-born lawyer twins Kevin and Gerald Ryan. Very powerful Pluto aspects in their natal charts would guarantee reasonably successful lives.
I visited Jillo in his Remuera rest home several times this year. Last month there had been a sharp deterioration of the brain and he couldn't even remember the cottage he'd lived in 18 months ago. But mention Paul and Baggy Hillis and other great characters from racing's golden era like Rodney Heaslip, Ron Taylor, Jack Winder and Grenville Hughes etc and Jillo's memory is excellent.
R I P Colin, as one of many who have benefitted from your great wisdom.

THE CHRISTMAS STORY
December 25
'Tis Christmas Day, so let us pay.
Let us pay tribute to the 3 wise men, who invented the greatest work of fiction ever. Ancient equivalents of Keith Richards, David Bowie and Lou Reed had been smoking primo Lebanese hashish in Bethlehem and came up with a brilliant idea on February 28, 7 b.c.
A Superman would be born ! To a virgin, and a pure creature who could heal the poor and turn water into wine ! He could walk on water, too, and had a mate named Moses who could part the seas....
Jesus the Superman would also be crucified, then come back to life !
A Jewish publisher loved the idea. 6 years of writing and editing meant Superman's date of birth had to be rearranged. The Holy Buybull was invented.
Thanks to this wonderful creation we have one day a year where everybody tries to be nice to each other.
May your festive season be blissful, and your new year full of enlightenment and awesome Uranus and Pluto trines.......

KEITH RICHARDS AND CLARKE GAYFORD
December 23
Belated ' happy birthday ' to the legendary musician--substance abuser Keith Richards, who turned 79 on December 18.
Keith is a wonderful example of an Astrological ' excuse.' Astrology covers every base because there are planetary influences responsible for every form of behaviour.
Like the rebellious, sporty,surfer girl telling her mother: ' Don says I'm allowed to smoke lots of weed because the Moon was right beside the Neptune planet when I was born.'
Keith Richards arrived when erratic Uranus was right beside energetic Mars. A text-book description:
' Mars blending with Uranus
You tend to be rebellious, fiercely independent, original, unique, abrupt, head-strong, self-willed, volatile, rash, ahead of your time, eccentric and bohemian. You want to do your own thing and you hate restraint of any kind. It is hard for you to take orders. You have an unpredictable temper that can go off at a moment's notice. Yet you do have extraordinary drive and energy and can accomplish a great deal for good or ill depending on whether you use your energy constructively or destructively. Major directional changes and mid-life crises are common.'
Notable New Zealanders born with the same aspect include ex-champion jockeys Lisa Cropp and Tony Allan, unique All Black Keith Murdoch, mental illness icons Sir John Kirwan and Cameron Slater, media weirdo Michael Laws and the very mysterious Clarke Gayford !
Notable foreigners include Boy George, Robin Williams, Lou Reed, Steve Bing, Michael J Fox, Klaus Schwab, Johnny Depp and Samantha Markle.
Clarke ! Have you been taking drugs ?
Yes, Jacinda. Don says I'm allowed to because I've got similarities to Keith Richards in my natal chart.....

WHEN YOU'VE GOT HEROES
December 21
Around 28 years ago a progressive thinking 16 year-old hit me with some serious philosophy:
' When you've got heroes, you can only be second best.'
She'd been having a dig at couch potatoes drooling over their rugby and league teams, but her theories were easily swatted away. There can be nothing wrong with emulating your rugby league heroes at the gym. No sin to be Josh Addo Carr or Lionel Messi nowadays when you're training in the swimming pool.
But the thought stayed, especially when those couch potatoes started worshipping broadcasting things like dirty old Paul Holmo and ' plastic tits ' Dawson !
Fair dinkum. The later knighted ' Paul Holmes ' was well-known for his heavy drinking, drug use and bisexual depravities. Consider a Saturday in May 2007 when veteran broadcasting colleague Kevin Black was visiting in Remuera and Holmo was chain smoking, sipping wine, jittery, fidgety and checking his watch regularly.
Blackie wondered if Holmes was in need of some weed, but was assured that ' I've got some stuff being delivered shortly.' Just as Blackie was exiting Mahoe Ave, a white mercedes with tinted windows came screeching to a halt outside the Holmes residence and Holmo was seen galloping down the driveway and scrambling into the back seat !
Next month Holmo's adopted daughter was a big media splash and soon to become NZ's most infamous teenage P addict. Millie had finally been evicted from the Holmes home after stealing a cartier watch from Holmo that she swapped for some P. More drama there, when Millie's female accomplice told me that the cartier happened to be a fake and a further theft was necessary to settle the account....
Millie moved into a house with a large P supplier and in June 2007 both were facing serious charges. Reasonably hilarious that the P dealer drove a white mercedes with tinted windows !
Middle-class wannabes in Remuera and Epsom were drooling over the Holmo that ruled NZ broadcasting for nearly 20 years. While their teenagers were finding it very fashionable to be out blazing with ' $850K Millie.' That's what it cost P Holmes to eliminate one of Millie's lesbian mothers from the scene so he could marry the other one and officially adopt Millie !
And I did wonder about those people who worshipped Charlotte ' plastic tits ' Dawson. Who charmed televisionites in NZ and Aussie, while renowned for its binge drinking, depression and having its breasts enlarged on 3 occasions.
There was a marriage that lasted 6 months and included a terminated pregnancy ! Dawson blew all its money on shoes, chardonnay and tit jobs and was penniless at age 47 when it topped itself in Sydney. An idol for millions was gone, but a trend had started and new heroes were emerging.
It was the New World Order's plan to reduce the influence of wise men, leaders and chiefs. Television produced plenty of temporary heroes, and the woman involved in the Lotto draw can even be described in the media as a ' Lotto star '
Long gone are the days when 1950s-born children idolised the amateur rugby players who had day jobs or worked on the farm and became All Blacks. Don Clarke, Wilson Whineray, Colin Meads and Sid Going ( for Northlanders ) and Olympic Gold medal-winning runners like Murray Halberg and Peter Snell. Motor racing great and family friend Bruce McLaren was another of my favourites.
We had enthusiastic teachers, scout masters and footy coaches. Also parents and grandparents who didn't have a dirty old Holmo or plastic tits Dawson to drool over !
Being a ' depression sufferer ' became very fashionable early in the millennium and suddenly the screens and airwaves were full of presenters and performers with ' mental illness ' issues.
Failed rugby coach, the later knighted John Kirwan, ' opened up ' and became the national cry baby. Also Murray Deaker, Jayjay Feeney, Mike King and Leighton Smith etc. Class A users with horrific family situations like Marc Ellis, Brent Todd and a fellow known as ' Meth you ' wowed the sports fans.High--profile sportscasters like Tony Veitch and Martin Devlin proved that theirs was a job to die for. Both tried topping themselves as well.......
In Astrological terms, 2023 will be horrific for NZ, especially the last half. The second besters are going to need all of the wisdom their heroes are capable of mustering......

MAHUTA CONTROLS ARDERN
December 19
The heading was half right:
' Jacinda Ardern has lost control over Nanaia Mahuta and must sack her - National
The pressure on Jacinda Ardern to sack Local Government Minister Nanaia Mahuta is building. But Mahuta is too powerful within the Labour Party to get rid of easily.'
The NWO slut has lost control of ' Hooter ' but cannot sack her. Hooter actually has control over Ardern, courtesy of a time-honoured political tactic involving ' sins of the partner.'
Same caused much grief to Helen McLicker, a former Labia Party leader. The sins of her husband, ' San Francisco Pete ' forced Helen to change a few public opinions at the behest of George W Bush.
' Don't fuck with me, white bitch ! ' says Hooter. Or she'll threaten to ' open up ' about the Waiheke Island drama that caused the cancellation of the ' wedding ' last summer. And the pregnancy of Ardern's Brazilian nanny is quite interesting. For starters.....
Ms N Mahuta's Astrological chart includes some very ruthless aspects:
Moon in Aries
Adaptability and inconstancy in your efforts to initiate are present here. Frequent emotional upheavals due to a fiery temper are possible. Patience is not your strong suit and if things don't happen the way you want, and now, well, you can go off like a bolt of lightning. Your tendency is to be spontaneous, temperamental, impetuous, headstrong and you dislike restraint. You are very direct in thought, action, and speech and everyone knows how you feel. You pull no punches. You can be a very bossy individual if you do not try to control your moods.
Mars in Leo
You are proud and probably have a big ego. You want to excel, to stand out and be recognized for who and what you are. You like to be Number One. It is difficult for you to take orders or to stay in the background. You like to be noticed and will do things in a dramatic manner just to get attention and be seen. You hate being wrong and may insist that you are always right. You are forceful, strong, energetic, artistically creative, determined, and highly competitive.
Mars discordant to Saturn
Energetic drives collide with conservatism and caution. This aspect in its worst expression tends to make you cruel, cold and unfeeling. You keep anger and resentment within you and you do not forget nor forgive a wrong. Revenge is on your mind and you want to pay back those people who have gotten in your way, either in reality or simply just in your mind. But this aspect can also give a very determined and ambitious nature. It can make a person persevere, endure, struggle and work hard, in spite of difficulties and discouragement.
And it’s going to need surveillance and monitoring after the appearance in last month's Annual Prophecies !
' Mahuta, Nanaia:
Erratic behaviour and energy restructuring from Uranus-Mars attack with March, June, Sept, Oct, Dec crucial. Major Pluto-Jupiter career change 024. '

BRUCE SHARROCK: VOLATILE FIRE HORSE
December 17
I thought we'd had enough amusement from thoroughbred racing this year.
And the peak had been the track debacle of November 11 and 12, when Awapuni and Riccarton's NZ Cup day were called off after a couple of races.
' Unsafe ' track surfaces yet again, so the governing body announced it was going to hold an inquiry into both fuck ups !
Let us consider NZ racing's ' leaders.' Much has been shared about the volatility and emotional roller coaster of a Cancer Sun person born in a Chinese Horse Year. None with great management credentials:
As per mortals of 1942,1954,1966, 1978, 1990 etc. Like footy bad boys Reece Walsh, James O'Connor, Kieran Foran and Billy Smith ( St George, 1960s.) Also Hells Angels legend Petar Vitali and former All Blacks captain Stu Wilson, renowned for his business failures and many occupations. Add the late, Australian professional wife Susan Peacock--Sangster--Renouf .
Fire Horses of 1966 vintage are traditionally the most difficult of all to control. Cancer Firehorses include boxing legend Mike Tyson and Melbourne's Tommy Hughes jun, the son of a horse training great, currently in custody over a stabbing. Also Bruce Sharrock, chief executive of NZ Thoroughbred Racing !
It was horrible, watching Sharrock and a Pisces Dragon delivering the devastating news about stagnating stake moneys last week.
' BAD KARMA CAMERON '
Best suited to work in music, caregiving or serving the lord. The last person you'd want to be in charge and making major decisions. Dragon Years are 1952, 1964, 1976 etc.
One is ' Bad Karma Cameron ' a.k.a ' Lebcam ' or ' Kiss of Death Cameron ' George, the job-hopping, Lebanese--Australian chairman of the NZTR board. How ironic that the ' supreme daydreamer ' is also CEO of the disastrously performing NZ Warriors !
Awapuni, run by the RACE group, was scheduled to race again on Saturday, December 10. But on December 6 there was a warning in a racing chat room...
Posted Tuesday at 09:41 PM
' You would have to be worried about Awapuni again this Saturday. Horse slips galloping on the course proper today and they close gallops on the track. 4 days from a raceday. Should we be worried or just sit on our hands again??? What will they do to the course proper under H&S to allow races to be held on Saturday? Its a worry! '
PAUL SIMON'S INFLUENCE
On December 10, the governing body announced the findings of the inquiry. Same old rubbish, nobody was keelhauled or forced to walk the plank, just various rules and regulations and reports. And this, in respect of Awapuni:
' We have requested and been assured RACE have put in place further protocols to ensure this does
not occur going forward.'
Then Paul Simon arrived, and in race one at Awapuni there was enough ' slip-sliding away ' for a meeting, and a track inspection, and yet another abandonment !
The funniest aspect is that both Riccarton and Awapuni have all-weather tracks inside the unusable grass tracks. Initially these all-weather tracks were made for midweek, 2nd and 3rd-string horses normally racing in the winter mud. Horsey tragics think that their good horses deserve grass to gallop on.
So Riccarton's next grass meeting in January was transferred to Ashburton, while the all-weather track at Riccarton sits unwanted and lonely. There was a meeting at Ashburton on Thursday, and guess what happened after race 2 ? The meeting was abandoned after a jockey was killed in a 4 horse-fall.....
RUNNING A RUBBISH DUMP
Betting turnovers are plummeting so badly that the governing body has to take $1 million a month from reserves to prop up the prize moneys until the end of July next. What you could expect with a Cancer Firehorse and a Pisces Dragon running the rubbish dump......
Ironically one of the most notable Pisces Dragons also had experience running a rubbish dump:
Terence Murray Lewis, GM is a former Commissioner of the Queensland Police Service who was convicted and jailed for corruption and forgery as a result of the Fitzgerald Inquiry. He was stripped of his knighthood and two other awards in consequence.
Born: 29 February 1928 (age 94 years)
Conviction(s): 16 counts of corruption and forgery
Criminal penalty: 10½ years imprisonment
COMING UP:
A former premiership-winning trainer has taken legal action against a large organisation in respect of unpaid stake money percentages.

EDDIE JONES AND ENGLISH WISDOM
December 15
Full credit to the English Rugby Yawnion for being logical and sacking Eddie Jones.
The last thing you'd want in a Rugby World Cup year is a coach getting hammered by Pluto, Uranus or Neptune !
Remembering that 2 of those 3 orbiters featured in one of the All-Time Greats:
Newstalk ZB, November 22, 2003, around 4.45 pm:
Warning host Murray Deaker ONZM and a nation of listeners that probable next All Blacks coach Graham Henry was a big risk for the next Rugby World Cup year ( 2007 ) because of disastrous late year Pluto-Moon and Uranus-Sun reversals.
In October 2007, G Henry's All Blacks had their worst-ever RWC, getting dumped in a quarter-final by France !
Last November's appearance wasn't as dramatic with: ' Jones, Eddie: Rugby coach hampered by Neptune-Jupiter complications in April, Aug and Feb 023. With Neptune-Node complications in Oct 023 as well ' but England would have been much better off knowing this 3 years ago !
The idea now would be to study the models from Astrological magnificence that forecast the very productive 2022 for Mal Meninga, Lydio Ko and Dexter Dunn.
The ' to and froms ' are leaving it a bit late to find a coach receiving awesome Pluto or Uranus trines for October 2023.....
Coming up: What NZ racing boss Bruce Sharrock has in common with Mike Tyson and incarcerated Melbourne horse trainer Tommy Hughes jun. !

BROADCASTING'S GIRL DRUGGER
December 13
The broadcasting industry has become a dumping ground for the mentally ill.
Plenty of alcoholics and drug addicts too, the odd sexual deviate and heaps of sick liars.Generally rank failures as parents.
With yet another broadcaster facing serious police charges. He officially resigned from radio last year but was actually asked to walk the plank...
His bosses were not impressed to discover that he'd been drugging and raping girls he'd picked up in nightclubs.He turns 50 next February.

URANUS v NEYMAR AND RONALDO
December 12
The football world was stunned over the weekend with the sudden departures of Brazil and Portugal from the FIFA World Cup.
All is relevant to superstars Neymar of Brazil and Ronaldo ( Portugal ) having February 5 birthdays. And a sentence in the Aquarius section from the November 2021 Annual Prophecies, www.donmurrayastrologer.com !
' Chaotic times for Feb 4,5,6,7 borns from Uranus-Sun attack.'
The great sentence supervised the major, predicted 2022 reversals for 2 NRL coaches with Feb 5 birthdays as well---sacked West Tigers coach Michael Maguire and NSW's Brad Fittler !
And rather ironically there's a very troubled nation of February 6 ( 1840) arrival named New Zealand. A nation that hasn't been so divided and angry since the 1981 Springbok tour, and with the most despised prime minister ever.
Uranus attacking NZ's Sun actually has nothing to do with the crises awaiting NZ in the last half of 2023. Those previously discussed progression problems are separate, and very serious.
And there would undoubtedly be some ' Feb 4,5,6,7 borns ' among the losers below !
USE IT OR LOSE IT
' Up to 60 home buyers are at risk of losing cash and life savings in the $5.2 million collapse of an Auckland-based home builder, a company insider claims.
That includes 21 customers who collectively paid an estimated $2m in deposits for new homes that were never started, the person claimed.
It comes after Podular Housing Systems Ltd went into liquidation on November 25, with the liquidator’s first report finding the company owes an estimated $5.2m to 217 creditors.'
Fact: All the losers could have been warned. There are times for investing and also outvesting !

WHEN HARRY GONNA UNMARRY
December 9
Yet another ridiculous headline:
Meghan Markle making Prince Harry ‘weaker and weaker’, royal expert claims.
As we know, ' experts ' usually get it wrong and there was a world-wide warning here as soon as they got engaged. Meghan was born with energetic Mars closeted away in secretive House 12 and that's one of the classics for ' depression ' sufferers !
Mars in the 12th possessors are amongst the most difficult of all to live with. Case history time, to consider entertainers like departeds Charlotte Dawson, David Bowie and Michael Hutchence. At large are Mick Jagger, Nicole Kidman, Victoria Beckham, Beyonce, Mariah Carey, Larry King, Pippa Middleton,Paris Jackson, Britney Spears and Kim Kardashian. Also Donald Trump, Joe Biden and NZ's repulsive Jayjay Feeney.
A pattern is emerging. These possessors invariably have fragile egos and plummet into dark places. They drink heavily or do bad drugs, gamble madly or screw around. The highs and lows of the limelight life attract them and the depression aspect is also very common in cut-throat horse racing.
NZ horse racing personnel born with Mars in the 12th include Michael Walker, Darrel Lang, Graeme Forbes, Vinnie Colgan, Geoff Georgetti, Brett McDonald, Clayton Chipperfield and departeds Roger Lang, Cody Singer and Ross Doherty.
But we must remember that Harry's chaotic 2022 was planned from the minute he first drew breath, updated in the Annual Prophecies, www.donmurrayastrologer.com in November 2021 !
' Harry, Prince:
Unbelievable confusion from Neptune-Sun attack Nov and Dec. More career upsets from Uranus-MC attack, with June, Nov and April 023 crucial. Saturn-Moon emotional setbacks in March, Aug, Dec 022 with an explosive Pluto-Sun progression supervising massive change around Nov as well.'
' Twas just over 30 years ago that the Broil family failed to capitalise on a major event. The phenomenal prophecy that correctly predicted, more than a year in advance, the month that Prince Charles and Diana would separate !
They could have employed that prophet for pre-nuptial analyses of all of their prospective brides and bridegrooms. And avoided so much scandal and embarrassment.But, to the extremely-heated Broil family's credit, they have been responsible for some amazing prophecies, with one making the G.O.A.T list:
www.donmurrayastrologer.com May 13, 2015:
WHEN HARRY GONNA MARRY
including:
'At least until after November, 2017. At present Hazza’s got Uranus attacking his Venus until early next year, with Pluto causing the setbacks and love life problems through 2016 and 2017 !
There could not be a worse time to enter holy matrimony than under a Pluto-Venus block, which itself has supervised many relationship disasters and separations. With a total opposite through 2018 and 2019, when Pluto is positively enhancing his Moon.
Said Moon is placed in the 4th house that governs home and family matters, and ruling the 7th that supervises marriage and partnerships.
I’d love to know what odds the bookmakers are offering on Prince Hazza becoming a husband and father in 2018-2019…. '
A reasonably phenomenal prophesy, considering Harry got married in May 2018 and became a father 12 months later !
And ' WHEN HARRY GONNA UNMARRY ' fits his appearance in last month's Annuals:
' Harry, Prince:
Home and family chaos with Uranus atop his Moon in June, Nov and April.. Saturn-Mercury post-marital issues in April, Aug and Jan 024.'

2025 RLWC AND MAL MENINGA
December 7
Among the amazing, 95% correct November 2021 Annual Prophecies were 2 that I hoped would be wrong:
' Meninga, Mal:
Coaching great over the Uranus disappointments of 021, with a positive Uranus-Node trine energising him in June, Oct and April 023. Many downers in 023 from Pluto-Mercury opposition. '
Mal cruised through and bagged another Rugby Leaque World Cup with Australia..
' Taumalolo, Jason:
Plenty of reversals for the NRL star with Uranus attacking his Mars. June, Nov, and March 023 crucial.'
' Plenty of reversals ' included a 3-matches suspension, and Tonga getting exited in a quarter-final of the RLWC.
After which Tongan fans didn't go screaming to talkback radio or the chat rooms to blame somebody. The Tongan tokos simply patched over to support their Samoan usos in the vain hope of their winning the semi-final against England.
Large England had beaten little Samoa 60--6 in pool play. Then little Samoa struck back with a 27--26 shock and next Tuesday, South Auckland had sold out of Samoan flags ! ' Same in Sydney, bro, ' claimed an Otahuhu Polynesian. ' The relations over there told me.'
' Next shipment Thursday come in, ' said the Chinese chap in the $2 shop. ' I have list of people for flag.' And the Samoan flags continue to flutter proudly, all around and South Auckland is still full of drive-by tootings to remember the amazing achievement.
As well as showing the americanised, wealth-worshipping white trash, the cultureless palagi, just how simple it is to be happy and humble, with a large $20 flag and a vanload of cuzzies !
As I take the next step to secure a Tongan or Samoan RLWC win in France, 2025. Eliminating the coach of Australia is top priority, and I had hoped that would happen with Mal Meninga's ' Uranus disappointments of 021, ' in which year the RLWC was postponed.
There were vain hopes of a further postponement until 2023 to cash in on Mal's ' many downers from Pluto-Mercury opposition. ' The big hope now is that M Meninga will retire under same next year, so he won't be coaching Australia in France in November 2025 !
Ironically Mal's Mercury position-- between Cancer 29.18 and 29.37 degrees--- will be getting savaged by Pluto in unfriendly Capricorn next year, but enhanced by both Uranus and Neptune from compatibles Taurus and Pisces in November 2025 ! An amazing phase and M Meninga would be around $1.02 at Donbet to hoist the RLWC again if he's coaching in November 2025. Or even just part of a team...
An ideal world has Mal retiring from the Aussie job, and taking a ' technical consultant ' position with either Tonga or Samoa.
Ironically there is a very famous mentor of Mal Meninga's also in for an amazing 2025.

RACING'S METHED UP WEBSITE
December 5
Laughter is a wonderful form of medicine and the rapidly decomposing NZ racing industry gives us plenty.
The latest mirth involved the Racing Integrity Board's website, out of action last week for 3 days, the given reason being ' site maintenance '.
Nowadays, any official statements from racing authorities have to be considered very carefully, because the industry has so many liars. Especially when the ' site maintenance ' was still going 2 days later, and I started considering the options.
This site details all the charges and convictions for on and off-track offences, which have included a hell of a lot of methamphetamine cases. Most are same old: galloper, trotter or greyhound returns positive to meth after the post-race testing and invariably the animal's trainer follows suit.
Has so much meth involvement contaminated the site itself ? Is it incapable of functioning properly and got sent to rehab ?
Yes, to both questions. After more than 72 hours of cold turkey, the RIB site was back on December 3 with the latest cases !
Appeal – Decision dated 26 July 2022 – Paul Harris
Cambridge JC 27 July 2022 – R3 – Joshua Kam
NZ Metro TC 24 July 2022 – R7 – THE FIERY SPIRIT
Then on December 4 the site disappeared again ! Or got recalled to rehab ?
To the NZTR site I went, and their ' links, ' and that one failed the random memory test very badly. I noticed that there are ' links ' to only 3 jockeys----Hayden Tinsley, Sam Spratt and Masa Tanaka. Rather weird, because, according to elsewhere on the same site, Tinsley hasn't ridden since September 2017 and Tanaka since June 2018 !
While rather ironically the dodgy, degenerate industry copped a massive fine from the Gods of Karma last week as well.
There have been some horrific drops in betting turnover, while ' operating expenses ' have kept increasing. Resulting in the announcement last Friday that NZ racing's reserve fund will have to contribute $8 million to keep prize moneys at their promised levels until the end of the season next July !
Then what ? Will the nation of NZ suddenly rally to support the non-essential industry that survives on gamblers losing their money ?
Nah. There's no chance of stakes not being reduced next year, with the well-documented horrors of late 2023. There will come a day when they're racing for ribbons and rosettes on Raglan Beach.....

WHEN JAMIE RICHARDS IMPROVES
December 2
Knowing when the bad shit's gonna end is the major Astrological advantage.
Consider NZ racing's recent whizz-kid trainer Jamie Richards. He won the past 3 NZ premierships,with tallies of 117, 160 and 101 winners respectively, averaging a very formidable 20% winning strike rate. But 2022 was never going to be vintage after his appearance in the November 2021 Annuals !
' Richards, Jamie:
Major strain for the leading horse trainer around March from difficult Mars-Venus progression. Serious Saturn-Sun restrictions May and June. 2023-24 have a less stressful life from Pluto trining hisVenus.'
March had the stress of his partner's serious injury, and leaving his Matamata operation.Then acclimatising to Hong Kong and preparing for his debut season starting August.
A debut season that's not going too well. After last weekend, J Richards had only trained one winner from 51 starters in Hong Kong !
But, of course, there is always hope with the wonderful science. That ' less stressful life from Pluto trining his Venus ' will be a lot more productive, officially between March 023 and November 2024.
Following the Tony Pike disaster last winter, there is the need for a ' Gap Year ' register. Trainer Pike's predicted ' major off-year, ' with ' May and June notable ' included a disastrous winter campaign in Queensland without a single winner from 15 starters !
Very expensive. So there'll be a list of racing persons for whom overseas campaigns are not recommended in 2023. Which is going to be a very difficult year globally, but not for everybody.
There will always be humans receiving awesome Pluto and Uranus trines, as forecast for 2022 with harness racing gun Dexter Dunn and golfer Lydia Ko, now ranked number one in the world.
Same will apply to certain racehorse trainers in 2023. Watch this space !

THE FIRST SHOW
November 30
'Twas on November 23, 1992, that the NZ airwaves got their first taste of amazing Astrology.
I had been writing a prediction column in the racing weekly Friday Flash since June 1990. Kicking off with a horse racing certainty, then various other great predictions including a stunner on rugby league player Jarrod McCracken:
FLASH, July 18,1991:
" I'm not optimistic about the Kiwis winning the next league test against Australia, but I hope like Donald I'm wrong.Next Wednesday's a special for Mal Meninga and a bummer for Jarrod McCracken.
" I'll be relaying this prognosis to coach Bob Bailey so don't be surprised if the wonder centre is subbed early in the game."
After 26 minutes Jarrod McCracken was sent from the field after making an innocent attempt to stop a brawl.
Fresh challenges were needed, so I wrote to Auckland's Radio Pacific, with my resume and Astrological discoveries. Resulting in being booked for an hour of One on One with veteran broadcaster Tim Bickerstaff.
I'd actually spoken with Bickerstaff on Pacific twice in 1987, re my being temporarily banned from racetracks. For my revelations in a magazine about jockeys riding under the influence of Marijuana, and why it was beneficial and the authorities should leave the smokers alone.
Racing officials were very hostile with the publicity, which was extremely helpful for my recently-started Astrological racing system. Bickerstaff thought it was quite funny, so I was looking forward to another hour with him on Monday, November 23.
Much was made of my life experiences, like being a polo pony groom for the Royal Fergie's old man in Berkshire, U.K and tending bar in the allegedly roughest pub in the world, in Port Hedland, Western Australia ( 20 murders one year ) etc.
Then the Astrological. Talkback lines were opened, callers phoned in with their birthdates for quick analyses. Which were amazing. One girl was told about wonderful romantic developments this year, purely because of an awesome Neptune--Venus trine ! She spoke of her recent engagement.....
The normally sceptical Bickerstaff admitted that the show had been ' a revelation ' and he was ' impressed.' Then he asked about his own future, and Bickerstaff learned of some positive business expansion next year from an awesome Pluto--Jupiter trine. ( 6 months later Bickerstaff and his boss locked horns for the final time. Bickerstaff quit, leased radio space from another station and became his own boss.)
After the show I wrote to Radio Pacific's managing director, suggesting regular Astrological appearances. Thanks but no thanks, he replied, so I was spurred to send a letter to various other media outlets. A couple replied in the negative, then 12 months later I received a positive reply from Newstalk ZB.
Resulting in a show with Murray Deaker on January 1, 1994. A golden hour that would be repeated annually on 18 occasions courtesy of listener demand. 15 minutes after the show I'd be home to around a dozen messages already on the answerphone. With the 0900 number receiving 67 calls one Monday after a Sunday show.....
NZ was very fortunate to have this service. Initially it was a gimmick like crystal balls and tea leaves. Then it started to get serious. Sponsors and advertisers weren't happy with the curse being placed on NZ icons like the All Blacks and Team NZ.
The accuracy of some prophecies really upset the egoes of certain media know-alls, and some even started telling blatant lies !
So a nation has suffered. No more serious mainstream Astrology for over 10 years, even if Newstalk ZB proved there was such a massive demand.
You think of all those people who would have been helped through the subsequent earthquake disasters, and prepared for the cruel Covid era.
At least some are getting advance warning of late 2023.....

' THE IDES OF NOVEMBER 2023 '
November 28
Back on December 22 last we ran a headline:
BEWARE THE IDES OF NOVEMBER 2023 !
I had started considering the problems for NZ in late 2023 about a year ago.
As the final phase of the nation being ' weakened, unhealthy, gullible, confused and careless with money ' from difficult Sun--Neptune progressions petered out, with Covid restrictions easing dramatically. Resulting in this judgement:
' There shall be one ' difficult progression ' for NZ around November 023 and 2 more ' difficult progressions ' around January 024 !
In ' progression speak,' -Christmas 023 is gonna be 3 times more difficult than the spring of 2021. Finance and foreign relationships are seriously involved, with great restrictions on ' 5th House ' matters like sports, games, creative activities and children. '
Then this pops up last week, shunting aside the ram raiders, car crashes and killings as the lead NZ Herald story !
' The Reserve Bank has today lifted the official cash rate by 75 basis points, taking it to 4.25 per cent, its highest level since 2008.
The RBNZ now sees the OCR rising to a peak of 5.5 per cent in 2023 and has forecast that New Zealand will enter recession from mid-2023. '
This Reserve Bank dude is obviously onto it, in fact he could become the first unAstrological ' expert ' to make a correct prediction for ages !
Footnote: The ' Ides of November ' is a veiled reference to one of the greatest-ever predictions in the pre-Murray Astrological age. As per a Roman soothsayer in 44 b.c who warned the emperor Julius Caesar to ' Beware the Ides ( 15th ) of March ! '
Upon which day Caesar would be stabbed to death in the senate by his former friends Brutus and Cassius....

THE PREDICTIONS FOR 2023
November 25
It's been full-on laughter here since January 2, 2020.
When it was decreed that Australia would be experiencing 2 years of great destruction, far worse than the crazy bushfires of that era.
Nothing personal, I had just noticed that revolutionary Pluto would be sitting on Australia's midheaven point. ' Crucial ' months listed concurred with Covid arriving, and Australia officially going into recession ! The predicted ending in late 2021 was spot on as well, with similar time frames for NZ !
The Covid era carnage shouldn't really be a laughing matter. But when the magnificent Astrological science is continually ignored by the system, and its mindless media are allowed to tell so many lies, there can only be one verdict for the many unfortunates and haters:
You only have yourselves to blame.
As earlier noted, 2023 is going to be a very difficult year, especially the last half, with nations like New Zealand, Australia, the USA, England and China already analysed and facing major turmoil. And plenty of high-profile humans.
Notable New Zealanders like Richie McCaw, Jeremy Wells, Lorde, John Campbell, Brian Tamaki, Sir John Kirwan, Beauden Barrett, Scott Dixon and 8 members of parliament are in the Annual Prophecies below. Rugby League personnel Mark Robinson, Ivan and Nathan Cleary, Billy Slater, Brandon Smith, Stacey Jones and Anthony Griffin are there.
Also Nick Kyrgios, Rafael Nadal, Israel Adesanya, Virat Kohli and notable horse racing persons James McDonald, Opie Bosson, Steve Pateman, Jonathan Riddell, Vinnie Colgan, Sir Mark Todd and minnow Andrew Lacy.

THE 95% SUCCESS RATE
November 23
The world's oldest science just keeps on delivering.
Another phenomenal year is petering out, with the normal 95% success rate from the November Annual Prophecies. So far.
I've come to accept that our destinies are planned. Part of the acceptance has provision for negative and fearful humans. They who cannot accept the excellence of such an amazing strike rate.
The great apathy towards logic is a by-product of the television era. As wise persons, parents and grandparents have been purposely replaced by newsreaders and reality TV stars as the sources of wisdom.
Gone, too, are the readers and thinkers who learned to ask questions....
So far there have been 38 rights and 2 wrongs from the 50 prophecies of November 2021. It took some deciding to settle on the top 6:
Zuckerberg, Mark:
Unbelievable turmoil for the Scorpio Moon possessor, with Saturn suffocating his Sun, Moon and Mars, and Uranus dealing to his Moon and Venus.Crucial months are Feb, March, April, May, July, Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec then Pluto smashes his Mercury in 2023.
' In October last year, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg changed the social media platform’s name to Meta and introduced the metaverse. But now, a year later, the company is haemorrhaging money; Meta has shed an eye-watering US$676b ($1.1t) in market value this year.'
' Johnson, Danielle:
Massive and difficult changes for champion jockey with Pluto attacking her Venus and Node. Close relationship issues, notably in Jan, Feb, March, July, Sept, Oct, Dec. '
She has not ridden since a horrific race accident on January 1.
' Martin, Dustin:
Many reversals for AFL star with Saturn and Uranus attacking his Venus and Mars. Jan, Feb, April, July, Sept, Oct, Nov his off-months.'
There was his father's sudden death last December, with time out for grieving. Then a very disruptive season with injuries.
' Walsh, Reece:
Many upsets for NRL young gun with Pluto attacking his Mars. Feb, June, Dec notable.'
Walsh was the NZ Warriors' great hope for the year but it all went horrible in ' June .' Apart from his team's horrific performances, Walsh was naughty enough for his partner to evict him. She and their daughter wouldn't be accompanying him to NZ next year either. So he had to opt out of his 2023 Warriors' contract to stay in Brisbane near his daughter.
' Pike, Tony:
Major off-year for leading horse trainer with chaotic Uranus attacking his Mercury and Mars positions. May, June, Oct, Nov are particularly notable.'
Every Kiwi horse trainer's dream is a campaign at the rich and sunny Queensland winter carnival. It happened for T Pike this year but ended as a nightmare. He had 15 starters in Queensland in May and June, a 2nd and a 3rd his best efforts..
Mohammed, Sheikh bin Rashid Al Maktoum:
' Massive change and upheaval for the evil person with Pluto-Jupiter, Neptune-Mars and Uranus-Venus complications. March, April, May, June, Aug, Nov, Dec and March 023 crucial months. '
32 days after this prediction was made, the Sheikh was ordered to pay 550 million pounds to his ex-wife and children in one of the most expensive divorce settlements in British history. The High Court judge also accepted claims that the Sheikh had arranged to have 2 of his daughters kidnapped, one of Cambridge, U.K in 2000, the other in the Indian Ocean in 2018.
There were other sensationals on tennis personnel Serena Williams and Roger Federer; NRL stars Mal Meninga, Jason Taumalolo, Kevin Walters, Brad Fittler, Ivan Cleary and Michael Maguire; cricketers Kane Williamson and Virat Kohli, All Black Aaron Smith, and horse racing's Matt Cameron, Leith Innes and Jamie Richards etc.
Phenomenals also on harness racing's Dexter Dunn, golfer Lydia Ko, pollys Andrew Little and Phil Twyford as well. Also the Royals Harry, Meghan and Prince Andrew, the NRL embarrassment Cameron George and the national cry baby, Mike King...
These amazing predictions are made to show humans how to prepare for adventures or business ventures. Or travel. And when to have ' Gap Years.'
Like you wouldn't want to be having holidays in a ' June ' that Pikey and Walshy experienced, would you ? Much more logical to locate a ' very productive Nov ' that Ms Ko below is currently enjoying...
The 2023 prophecies shall appear here on November 25.
.
.
LYDIA KO'S ' VERY PRODUCTIVE NOV '
November 22
Another coup from the amazing science:
' NAPLES, Fla. (AP) — Lydia Ko never won more in one day than on Sunday in the CME Group Tour Championship, where she claimed the richest prize in women’s golf at $2 million with a victory that allowed her to win LPGA player of the year.'
Hardly a surprise after the appearance in last November's Annual Prophecies, www.donmurrayastrologer.com !
' Ko, Lydia:
Much improvement from golfing champ with Uranus-Mars and Pluto-Node trines. March, May, June, Nov, Jan 023 very productive but Uranus-Jupiter turmoil in July, Sept. '
' Jan 023 ' could even be ‘ very reproductive ’ being so soon after her wedding in late December....

THAT 100--1 WINNER
November 21
Plundering the decomposing racing industry is great fun.
Especially when you can emulate great role models of the 1970s and 80s, the astute trainers with small teams who specialised in setting one up for the big punt.
When I worked in the stables of crafty plunge setters like Clem Bowry ( Otaki ) and Ray McLaren ( Melbourne ) and learned from masters Colin Jillings, Brightson Meyer, Jack Winder, Wally Pratt and Melbourne's George Hanlon as a racing journalist.
Our 2022 has finished, with a horrific strike rate but an amazing profit margin from the Astrological system. Only one winner from 5 investments, but that winner paid $27.40. Four losers in a row caused me to address discipline issues and reaffirm the commitment to being unbeaten.
Part of the discipline issues have included visits to the legendary 91 year-old Colin Jillings in a Remuera rest home. He agrees enthusiastically when I remind him that he was the greatest when it came to setting them up for big races. Stayers, sprinters, jumpers, 2 and 3 year-olds, Jillo could master them all. I shared my personal favourite:
A party in Takanini, March 7, 1987, when my hurdle jockey mate Paul Hillis staggered over and wanted to know ' how's me stars Donny ? '
" Hilly" was told about a ' big buzz on Queen's Birthday Monday ' in June, then he wondered about ' what's on that day ? '
" The Great Northern Steeples ! " chorused 4 bystanders in amazement. Laidback Hilly noted that he hadn't won that one yet, adding that he thought " Jillo's setting something for it."
Jillo loved the memory of steeplechaser Deductable, who started in the 1987 Great Northern at Ellerslie with an uninspiring formline of 4267. Veteran NZ Herald racing writer Allan Brown gave Deductable no chance of winning after a distant 7th in a race 2 days earlier.
Punters agreed, Deductable was paying $12.55 for a win and cruised in. Pressmen were cursing and shaking their heads in disbelief, as the master Jillings got under their guard yet again. I was happily typing out a statement for P S Hillis to sign and verify my great prediction.
Long gone are the wizards like C M Jillings, including the astute farmers who specialised in stayers and jumpers. When 30 horses in work was a large team. Nowadays there are corporate trainers with massive barns, and Jillo was amazed to hear of the large teams of Mark Walker ( 211 horses ) and Stephen Marsh ( 149 ). Prolific purchasers at the Lotto shop. The more tickets you buy, the better your chances....
The great masters of yesteryear had all kinds of tricks. Secret training gallops, false horse names given to track reporters, and a few noughts in the formline would ensure a decent price. Ray McLaren once took a plunge horse to a remote track 30 km from his base for a secret, noon gallop away from touts and trackspys.......
Being unbeaten, as we were for a 21 months period during the Covid eon, is the aim when the champion system resumes next February.
2023 has 24 trainers ( 6 of them Australian-based ) and one hurdle jockey listed. There is always the possibility of another ' N McBurney,' a little known NSW provincial trainer who was labelled for Wednesday June 29, 1988, when the champion racing system was operating in Australia.
On that momentous day, Waikato-born Neville McBurney took one, Dixieland Jazz, into Sydney town and he saluted the judge, with as much as 100-1 being offered......
WE DON'T TAKE RACING SERIOUSLY, WE JUST TAKE THE MONEY
Since 2019 began we've only had 15 investments, for 6 winners. Dividends of $5.50, $18.00, $4.70, $3.80, $5.60 and $27.40 means we are well in front. That will continue, and anyone's welcome to join the scheme team....

SOLVING RACING'S MAJOR PROBLEMS
November 18
The once noble horse racing industry keeps finding new rock bottoms.
Following the disastrous and very expensive NZ Cup debacle at Riccarton last weekend, industry leaders Bruce Sharrock and Cameron George urgently requested an inquiry. In spite of the Canterbury Jockey Club offering refunds via Moshtix but asking for people not to claim to assist with the financial disaster Saturday turned out to be !
All of the brave and broadminded horse racing professionals, past and present, were summoned to a telephone box in Taihape. After many hours of serious discussion and debate,a decision was made: To honour the sunset industry in song.
They would advertise for composers, song writers and musicians to create dirges and blues tunes remembering the long-gone, glory days of the rapidly decomposing industry.
Every C E O and Trackside Channel presenter put their hands up to play the Lyre.....
Disqualified, sexual assaulter, ex-jockey Matt Cameron, a former premiership winner was another early volunteer: ' I'm pretty good on the Horn,' he boasted.
No shortage of Tuba experts in the harness racing code, with controversial Sheryl Wigg very favoured.
Disqualified jockey Jason Waddell put his hand up, citing his prowess ' on the Pipe ' and he also recommended David Ellis to be the Fiddler.

' WHY WE ARE SO ANGRY '
November 16
Events of nearly 13 years ago, caused veteran Herald writer David Fisher to produce a wonderful contribution to cover-up journalism.
'Twas that often remembered occasion, in December 2009, when NZ's highest-paid broadcaster Paul Holmes was purchasing drugs from gang members near the NZ Herald office. When the photographer Greg Bowker innocently snapped a human interest shot and got a bashing from the gangsters.
What an amazing story ! Known by every media person in Auckland but nobody was allowed to publish. Except for mentally-ill blogger Whaleoil Slater and Donmurrayastrologer.com. A female Herald colleague of Bowker's even showed me the crime scene a couple of weeks later, and a rival Sunday News journalist claimed that one of the gang members involved was also supplying his P-addicted, former fiancee !
A few months later I decided to torment Fisher about the landmark in cover up journalism. Fish angrily claimed that ' there's something about it on your website that isn't true ! '
He wouldn't elaborate on ' it ' but I thanked him for the confirmation. And wondered about all the poor tragics who place their trust in NZ's media system. Including Fisher, who' s celebrating his 34th year in journalism, 18 of them at the NZ Herald. And he produces rubbish like this ?
David Fisher: Why we are so angry - and what it means for election year
Not something you'd bother to read, but Fisher's anger is understandable. No matter how experienced they are, all journos get kicked around like pieces of shit these days. They epitomise the tragics who go through life like a trotting horse wearing blinkers, under Ardern's extreme media control.
The frustrations have obviously made Fish dream of being the national mood editor. But there is an option for Fish to make him a lot less angry:
Find some new reading matter, instead of your NZ Herald's sickening headlines !

ROGER LANG: GIFTED JOCKEY AND PRANKSTER
November 14
Roger Lang was one of the NZ's leading big-race jockeys in the Golden Era of the 1970s, and also a prankster.
Roger passed away at age 76 last week, joining his wife of 54 years, Sheryl who had departed a few weeks earlier. A gifted rider, but restricted by weight problems, he won major races in Australia on Oopik and Shivaree and was worthy of many stories in my junior journalism days.
The first ' scoop ' was a prank, though. One day in the Ellerslie birdcage, R C Lang called me over with a hot story. He was heading off to Queensland for a 2-weeks trial with a leading stable, and possibly leaving NZ altogether !
Journos automatically feel important when someone notable chooses them to get the big scoop. It was published the next day in the Sunday Herald, as ' R LANG OFF ON TWO WEEKS TRIAL' By Don Murray.
Monday back in the Herald office and one of my senior colleagues was not happy. ' Read this ! ' and handed me the Ellerslie judicial report with ' your bloody jockey mates ! ' After causing some interference in one of the races, ' jockey R C Lang was suspended for 2 weeks from..... '
That must have been the acid test, my initiation into the inner circle. Not long after Roger called me over in the jockeys' room at Tauranga and handed me some $$$ to put on his next ride for a win. It cruised home, and this happened more often. Roger became one of several jockeys on the ' payroll ' --- i.e getting write ups in NZ's largest daily newspaper for tipping me winners !
R Lang also played a cunning trick on our mate Lance Rokela, a fearless hurdles rider who also passed away earlier this year. One evening, after a slight domestic, Roger went down to the pub and teamed up with ' The Rok.' Come closing time, Roger grabbed half a dozen and invited Rok back home to continue.
At home, Roger remembered that he had to check on one of the horses, and assigned Rok to take the beer inside. Rok enters the household and cops an almighty whack on the head with a frying pan...
Some 10--15 years ago I thought of a prank for R C Lang and phoned him in Cambridge. Sheryl answered and Roger wasn't home. So I told Sheryl that apparently a Cambridge horse trainer named Roger had been noticed in Queen St, Auckland around 8 a.m, on Sunday of the recent Erotica Sexpo weekend, wearing a canary yellow jumpsuit. And I wondered if..
' That wasn't my Roger, it would have been that bloody Roger James ! ' I congratulated Sheryl on the correct answer.
RIP Roger and Sheryl. Thanks for the memories.
Considering the current, horrific state of NZ racing, I feel blessed to have been involved in that Golden Era. I've been mocking the shit out of NZ thoroughbred racing in recent decades, but the recent weekend saw new pinnacles of hopelessness attained.
Friday's meeting at Awapuni was called off after race 2 because of slippery track conditions. Then Riccarton's big one on Saturday, NZ Cup day, ending Christchurch's iconic ' Cup week , ' was postponed after just 3 races, also following some slip-sliding away......

AUSTRALIA WAS MADE FOR CORRUPTION
November 11
One of life's many pleasures is reading books about the incredible corruption in Australia.
Personal experience: In 1986 I had 3 days managing a sex shop in Sydney's King's Cross. A fill-in job for a new shop, organised by an acquaintance who worked elsewhere for the owner.
Such a boring job, but plenty of time to read or yarn with others in the Cross. Like an Indian doorman at a nearby strip club, who had some Marijuana to share. Yep to his request to roll up a joint in my shop. Soon afterwards the shop had its biggest crowd in 3 days.
There was a sleezy, dishevelled old dude in a long coat. Then a spiffy, well-groomed fellow in a suit and tie. Separately they sidled round to the back room. Then returned with an under-arrest Indian doorman !
Undercover cops, very interested in locating the shop's owner. Who was found at one of his other shops, and returned to face the music. Filthy he was, and dismissed me instantly without any wages !
My job organiser wasn't impressed, noting that the matter would probably cost the owner about five grand. Into the cops' pockets, of course, probably minus the crisis-actor fee they paid to the Indian bouncer to be temporarily arrested. Funny how the 2 undercovers would follow the bouncer, who needed my shop to roll up his joint, so they could extort some coin from the owner.....
Similar principles are in the amazing biography on a Sydney underworld legend, Abe Saffron. When certain rooms in his sleezy joints had 2-way mirrors. So a photo of media baron Sir Frank Packer in a compromising position with a young boy could be worth lots of money......
So many wonderful names in the annals of Aussie corruption, from the Mokbels, Williamses and Morans of Melbourne to the Freemans, Rileys, Waterhouses and Trimboles of Sydney to Bjelke-Petersen's notorious rat pack in Brisbane. And plenty of amazing tales of rigged horse races....
It's in the DNA, though. Sydney's first police force !
The Night Watch
The Marines of the Royal Navy were unable to control the ever-growing crime rates. The local government, led by Governor Phillip, soon recognized the need for a locally established law enforcement department and created the Night Watch. At the time, Australia had more convict residents than residents without criminal backgrounds. With convicts being the only human resources set before him, Governor Phillip decided to task 12 of the most well-behaved individuals with the responsibility of the "night watch".
These 12 men were divided into four groups that were assigned to different sectors of New South Wales. Given the success of this first group of convicts-turned-police-officers, the government decided to expand the program. In 1790, the Night Watch program was expanded to the city of Sydney. A new group of convicts joined the pre-existing Sydney Foot Police, allowing the enforcement area to expand into Toongabbie, Hawkesbury, and Parramatta.
On the other hand, you could consult the Australian natal chart of January 1, 1901 at 1.25 pm, and decide that it was simply born to be extremely untrustworthy. There's a very tight, powerful Mercury--Neptune dispute. Like Sagittarius 27.53 v Gem 27.30 !
An aspect also possessed by NZ's legendary fraudster Leicester Monk, and other dodgys like Sheikh Mohammed, Jeffrey Epstein, Donald Trump, Amber Heard and Aussie’s Bill Waterhouse for starters.
In fact most corrupt officials or cops invariably possess some kind of serious Mercury affliction that weakens them. A text-book definition of Australia for a human:
' Mercury discordant to Neptune (power = 10.62 and this aspect is discordant = -10.62)
You tend to be very imaginative and very visionary, but it is hard for you to put your thoughts and ideas into practical, everyday terms. You may occasionally be accused of cloudy thinking and of letting your imagination run wild.
You may have a tendency to run away from the world and its problems. Finding supposed shelter in gambling, drugs or alcohol only compounds any problems you have in the first place.'
JACKS AND JOKERS, by Matthew Condon, an amazing read about Queensland Joh and his rat pack.

THE ' DONALDED ' LUXON UPDATE
November 9
It took me about 20 seconds to decide that Christopher Luxon was ' Donalded ' for this year and next.
That was back on December 3 last year. Luxon was doomed to be suffering the horrific Pluto-Mars attack between March 023 and December 024.
Beforehand Pluto attacking his Sun through 2021 then the big planet smashing his Jupiter until December 2022 !
That explains why he's fancied as the weakest Opposition leader in history.
There are theories that Lux flakes tried to pull the skin off a rice pudding recently. And failed. Then he went to the gym and attempted to bench press a bamboo satay skewer. And failed.
Wonderful information from police contacts led to this beauty here early in 2022:
' THE BIG COCAINE STORY
February 25
A certain Aucklander has been identified in a major cocaine importing bust.
He was attempting to procure cocaine using coded phone calls and text messages, that were intercepted by the police.
Certain Aucklander has a high-profile de facto wife and cannot be named for legal reasons.
Detective Inspector John Sowter was in charge of the operation. 760g of cocaine wIth a street value of $300,000 was recovered.'
A big chance for Lux flakes to twist the knife and earn some vital leadership points. There was a large dossier on the cocaine bust in the public arena, that has since been removed from Facebook.
Footnote: For the undereducated, ' Donalded ' is a derivative of Cockney Rhyme's ' Donald Duck.'

MR VIOLENCE AND THE PERVERT
November 7
Bashing and abusing have become quite acceptable in the rapidly rotting NZ horse racing industry.
There's a major shit fight in the central region as Mr Violence battles his eviction. He's a horse trainer with a horrific temper who was told to vacate the stables he leases on racing club land. Very behind in rent,too.
Mr Violence has a history of abusing racing club staff, and trespass orders over an ex-partner. Recently he viciously abused a gay jockey and publicly blasted him as a ' faggot.' Before that there was a physical attack on an injured hurdle jockey in the training track tea hut !
The hurdle jockey was simply inquiring about several weeks of trackwork wages he was owed by Mr Violence. Fortunately a witness intervened.
And rather strangely the angry trainer has the backing of some of NZ racing's biggest names------- John Wheeler ONZM, Kevin Myers, Allan Sharrock, Kevin Gray and Lisa Latta----- who have pledged their support for Mr Violence in his battle with the landlord as it moves to the High Court.
Longevity can be extremely dangerous, psychologically, in an industry that survives on gamblers losing, and a human's goodness is gauged by the number of Group Ones they've accumulated--- the dirty kidnapper of Dubai leads the field. But there's always plenty of mirth:
Back in January 2021 the activities of a high profile racing person were revealed here. He had been escorted from Trentham racecourse by police and soon after suddenly resigned from his job.
For months this strange person had been sending inappropriate, suggestive texts to the teenage son of a jockey. Who kept it to himself, before finally opening up. Racing investigator Simon Irving received all of the inappropriate messages.
Nothing happened. No charges were laid, but that has become quite normal for RIU investigators. The Trentham pervert has since been employed in the ambulance and gardening industries, even if he was also known to have motel weekends away with 15 and 16 year old boys. He's got ' form ' from his time in Western Australia, too.
Meanwhile there are record levels of disqualifications for human drug offences this year as well.
The latest involves a pair of Stratford trackriders, among the 7 who were ordered to undergo random drug testing one morning. Adrian Bosson-Thompson and Nicole Thompson ignored their invitations to the testing van and bolted. Each received 10 months disqualification last week.

MEDICATION MIKEY'S ' LOW ENERGY '
November 4
Medication Mikey just keeps on delivering.
I was directed to ' Your mate Mikey's latest trick ' on his Gumboot page:
' It’s Jo here. Mike’s wife.
Mike rang me when he was on his way in to the radio to do this talk. He was flat. He has been for days and he’s overwhelmed and he’s doing too much.
This is how the talk went and when he told me after that he cried I was not surprised.
For the record I don’t just cry because he has to go off on the weekends. I’ve cried lately because I suffer from depression and the wheels fell of a month ago. Thankfully I’m back on my meds and feeling well and I’m able to support Mike again and he’s going to be ok.
We don’t need messages of love.
We need help.'
There was yet another amazing prophecy in the Annuals, www.donmurrayastrologer.com on November 26, 2021 !
' King, Mike:
The " depression expert " will be low on energy and in need of time out with his meds, as deceptive Neptune squashes his Mars between March 022 and Feb 023. A time for mental health to be watched. Also chaotic Uranus attacking his Node with May and Dec crucial.'
And there was his pearler from the November 2018 prophecies, forecasting a ' Major off-year for depression " expert " with Pluto-Sun and Saturn-Mercury catastrophes. Jan, Feb, June, July, Nov, Dec crucial.'
2019 brought a mental breakdown, and in ' Dec ' he was airlifted to hospital after crashing his motorbike !
' We don’t need messages of love.
We need help.'
How can you help those who tell blatant lies ? And don't want to spend just half an hour on an amazing Astrological enlightenment ?
Back in December 2013, I wondered if Mikey might consider all the incredible Astrological factors around depression and tweeted him a suggestion. Firstly King wanted to know if Astrology had “ made you into a millionaire, bro ? ” Strange question. When he realised it was a serious matter, and was offered assistance, King got extremely vicious:
" What a dickhead thing to say Don. You don't know me mate, what makes u think I'm depressed? "
9 years later and he's no wiser, blubbering away on various videos about how ' the system is fucked.' At least he knows that ' Dec ' will be ' crucial ' and Neptune will finish squashing his Mars sometime in ' Feb 023 ! '

BRITAIN IS NOT A ' UFC '
November 3
Down on October 24 we were marvelling at the terrorist activities of the zodiac's mad dog Uranus.
And his movements between Taurus 14 and 18 this year, causing so much disruption to fellows like footy coaches Ian Foster and Stacey Jones, polly Andrew Little, Prince Archie and Aussie Pat Cummins and others.
Uranus also had a hand in the demise of both Britain's departed prime ministers this year. Like bombing Boris Johnson's Jupiter and also short-term Lizzy Truss' Mars position ! Towards the end of the October 24 revelation there was:
' In the meantime, the zodiac's mad dog shall be zooming between Taurus 18 and 23 next year, with chaos and reversals for those with birthdays on May 10,11,12,13. Similar date frames in August, November and February shall be affected.'
Next day Rishi Sunak became Britain's latest prime minister and the laughter erupted. Not at his extremely un-British name, but his birthdate !
' May 12, 1980.'
So next year Sunak shall suffer Uranus chaoticizing his Sun, and also his Mercury position !
We know all about coaches getting hammered by Uranus, Pluto and co which invariably affects the team. Prime ministers are just like coaches and their countries do it tough as well.
The search continues for a UFC --- ' unfucked country. ' NZ, Australia and USA have already been wiped, Britain too, and in the near future some horrific turmoil for China in mid-2023 shall be explained........

MELBOURNE CUP DAY IS SPECIAL
November 1
Once upon a time the Melbourne Cup was the benchmark for NZ gallopers.
There were NZ owned, trained and bred winners in 1960, 1962, 1964, 1970, 1971 and 1976. The importance had struck me as far back as 1970, when I specifically got kicked out in 6th period Latin at Mt Albert Grammar to get the necessary buses to watch the great race at home in One Tree Hill.
47 years later the wonderful day would see the establishment of a World Record for long-range prophecy. As per the labelling on July 4, 2012 of small-time Matamata trainer Wayne Hillis as a certainty to win on Melbourne Cup day 2017, November 7. As long as he lined one up.
W P Hillis only had 79 runners in that season, one of them being his only starter on November 7, 2017 at Ellerslie, WATCH THIS SPACE, a $9.80 winner !
We haven't had a Melbourne Cup day plunge since then, the previous thump being a $6.00 winner, Atacama, at Flemington on Cup day, 2014. Horse racing investments are serious, as our amazing profit margins testify.
We had a label for tomorrow at Avondale, our first since April, so perfect and my only concern was getting a paltry win dividend of $3 at the most. Then it was bloody scratched !
Temporary rage, before I remembered the weird words of the Melbourne Cup God, J Bart Cummings, who claimed that ' patience is cheap, it doesn't cost anything.' Bullshit. Bart tells the owners their horse will be better next season, be patient, so it goes to the spelling paddock, which costs money. Afterwards, 3--4 more months training before it can race, and in NZ that's costing around $100 a day !
' Training fees ' cost my clients $2 or $3 a year. As per the interest they lose from the $150 deposited with me in the commission account, from which deductions are made after a win.
55--1 WINNER FOR BART
Bart's even got a special place in the Astrological annals. The Planet Kingdom tipping system was operating from Sydney in 1986, with J B Cummings the big label for Melbourne Cup day. Obviously he'd win the Cup, wouldn't he ? No, his runner finished 4th and I sat there shaking my head and wondering what went wrong. Plus I'd persuaded the Italian babe next door's mother to invest her weekly pokie habit on the nose of Bart's Empire Rose in the Cup......
I snapped out of it when I heard a ' Cropley Road ' bursting through the middle in the very next race at Flemington. Bart Cummings was enduring a very lean spell, and Cropley Road was his only other starter in the whole of Australia that day. A winner at 55 to one !
The Astrological laws were changed. Don't assume anything, just keep backing the target until the first winner, and hope it's big. Ironically I never found another ' perfect ' puntable day for Bart, who actually had 12 Melbourne Cup wins in his lifetime. Sometimes he would have 5 runners in the race, which could never be a perfect day unless they all dead-heated for first.....
The horrific desecration of NZ racing is depicted in today's meagre representation. Not one NZ resident trainer or jockey involved in the Cup. 2 expat trainers, Bjorn Baker and Mike Moroney, have runners, while only one expat jockey, Jason Collett shall be competing. Only 4 of the 23 runners are NZ-bred horses.
And an NZ-based trainer hasn't won the big Cup since Welsh-born, Cambridge-based Sheila Laxon with Ethereal in 2001 !
BEEN THERE
Hark back 45 years. 5 NZ resident trainers involved in the Cup and 8 NZ-born jockeys riding. The 1977 Melbourne Cup was the only one I have attended and I had no desire to go back. One punt, one win in the Cup on one of Bart's, Gold and Black at 7--2, and the drunken, debauched experience that the day is renowned for.
Hard to beat that. Or this:
" We don’t take racing seriously
We just take the money "
It's the most astute of all that's simply geared to making a profit. I am a bad loser so we maintain a better strike rate than any others.
I am using a scientific, Astrological system which identifies pleasant surprises for horse trainers and jockeys on certain dates. If they line up, there's frequently an unexpected success and a nice dividend. And I don't make anything unless we get a winner.
