LEADING THE CUNTRY

January 30

 Finding a cure for cancer could be the best discovery since sliced bread.

 You would think so. But cancer is a zillion dollar business and for pharmaceutical companies and doctors, the butter that goes on their bread.

 They aren’t too fussed on the earliest detection possible, for which there is no better than the Astrological. As I have noted in the last few years,  key  planets in the 6^th House of health and diet like Pluto, Uranus and Neptune appear so often in the birth charts of the seriously ill. Too many coincidences to be ignored.

 Just as certain other orbiters in the secretive House 12 supervise depression, remembering the great words of the father of modern medicine, Hippocrates:

 “ A physician without a knowledge of Astrology has no right to call himself a physician.”

 Hilarious, really, when you consider that moneyed drug companies also control the media who desperately try to hide the great Astrological and prefer the great unwashed to only read sun sign paragraphs. Expecting that amazingly successful sportsman-humble humanitarian Sonny Bill Williams to read the same “ Leo ” effusion as Captain Tampaxtic, leader of our Cuntry, a.k.a John Key ?

 Captain T is also a sworn enemy of the greatest cure and reliever of pain, cannabis. He is, as we know, a puppet of Jewish money. When you watch this clip, think of  cruel Captain T and also his fellow Cuntryman, health minister Peter Dunny……

MITCHELL PEARCE AND PLUTO

January 29

Possessors of Venus in adventurous Aries are renowned for their love of  “ new challenges ” in close relationship matters.

Venus in Aries tires easily of same old and aren’t recommended for long-term commitment. This recent headlinemaker even got tired of fellow humans:

‘ Mitchell Pearce's NRL career could be over after the Roosters captain was filmed simulating a lewd act with a dog during drunken Australia Day celebrations.

The NRL has demanded an urgent report from the club after footage went viral.

The footage showed a female reject Pearce's advances and attempt to kiss him, saying "I'm a lesbian", before the Roosters captain turned his attention to a dog. Pearce was then seen picking up the dog and simulating a sex act. She then accused the 26-year-old of urinating on himself and the couch.

"You peed on my couch, you peed on yourself, get the f--- out," she said.

The footage, which was heavily promoted during Nine's Wednesday night news bulletin as "some of the most disgraceful behaviour you have ever seen from a footy star", quickly went viral.’

2016 has already produced some pearls from the November 2015 Annual Prophesies on www.donmurrayastrologer.com.

Like the predictions on Rafael Nadal, Rupert Murdoch, Donald Trump, Bill Cosby, Sepp Blatter, Louis Van Gaal, Ravi Shastri and Brendon McCullum from the select 100. Add this joker:

“ Pearce, Mitchell:

NRL star getting severely dealt to next 2 years with Pluto anti his Sun, Mercury and Venus. ”

BREEDING DISCREPANCY

 One of my great life experiences was being a night porter in the Royal International Hotel in Auckland which housed the champion Australian Rugby League team for a fortnight in June 1985.

I had the opportunity to smoke marijuana with almost half the team and greats like Mike O’Connor, Chris Close, Greg Dowling, Greg Conescu and Peter Tunks etc.

Heaps of fun, with Tunksie providing the highlight, when he decided to saunter down Victoria St to the Queen St intersection and strut his stuff around 3 a.m. P Tunks was stark naked, except for a pair of underpants on his head. In the middle of winter !

The team had many brilliant party animals, with one “ super straighto, ” a totally devoted fitness freak who didn’t even drink alcohol---- Wayne Pearce, a.k.a “ Junior, ” later to become the father of you know who……..

Footnote: For the undereducated, " Pluto " is a powerful planet, not Walt Disney's canine character.

THE FRANKEL COLT DOOMED

January 28

 There’s no shortage of losers who fail to consult the Astrological before plunging into investment.

 All of those finance company flops and other business ventures. Not to mention the zillions wasted on horse racing purchases. Like this recent headliner:

“ The thoroughbred racing power group who outlaid $1.3 million for the buzz colt of today's Karaka yearling sales was only formed the night before his purchase.

The combination, brought together by agent Adrian Nicoll of BBA Ireland, smashed through the $1 million ceiling to buy the first yearling sold in the Southern Hemisphere by world champion galloper Frankel.

The colt was sold by Sir Peter Vela's Pencarrow Stud, who flew the colt's dam Our Echezeaux to England to be mated with Frankel, who retired from racing three years ago.

He had caused a huge buzz in the build-up to this week's Premier Sale at Karaka and did not disappoint, with some of the heavyweights of racing lining up to buy him.”

With a foaling date of September 9, 2014, this Frankel colt is receiving an awesome Pluto-Sun trine this year, like all humans and animals sharing the same birthday. He’s booked to do the big O E and  have residency in a Sydney stable, with the Pluto buzz finishing sometime between November 25 and December 27, when he’s very unlikely to have even been to the races.

Thereafter it’s all downhill. Between April 2017 and November 2019, all  of September 2014 birth shall have destructive Pluto attacking the North Node. Identical Pluto attack was harassing Team NZ skipper Dean Barker during one of history’s greatest chokes in the iconic 2013 America’s Cup. ( Team NZ were leading 8-1 before an 8-9 defeat ! )

All of September 9 birth are to be harassed through 2018 and 2019 by another horrific, the Neptune-Sun negative and by the end of his three year-old season  this  $1.3m purchase will have also endured an incredible four difficult progressions involving Venus and Mercury !

There are untold sagas of expensive yearling sales flops, some northern hemisphere crapouts in teen million figures. NZ’s classic  is a resident stallion named Saperavi, who cost $2.2 m at Karaka and returned just $11k in stake money after one win. “ Sapper ” was retired to stud in the South Island, blowing his load for a paltry $3k per mare. Naturally his Astrological situation was a nothing as well.

Saperavi’s purchaser, Te Akau’s David “ Tom Thumb ”  Ellis  is renowned for putting the kiss of death on his buys, with an horrific profit-loss record over the years. With another instant flop in the form of a Savabeel-Bling  which cost him $775,000 this  week, and was born just 2 days before the Frankel one.

Similar Astrologicals consequently, also  the identical Pluto, Neptune and progression complications of the Frankel colt meaning that the Savabeel will  follow Saperavi into Tom Thumb’s  dung heap.

Ideally you’d be looking for a horse who’d be receiving an awesome Pluto trine to something like the natal Sun, Mars or Jupiter in a 3 year-old season. So for the January 2017 edition an automatic  starting point would be those born in the last week of either October or November in 2015……..

KANE WILLIAMSON REVELATIONS

January 27

 Way back in  March 1995 , 21 year-old Stephen Fleming was highly recommended in TRUTH as a long-term captain for the Black Caps.

 Much ado with Fleming’s great leadership and reliability omens, as an Aries Sun possessor from the Chinese Ox year of 1973. A reasonably awesome prophesy, with Fleming  becoming the longest serving Black Caps skipper in history, from 1997 to 2007, when Uranus and Pluto complications recommended his departure.

 There’s a very different paddock on the cricket farm for a Leo born in a Horse Year ( 1990 ) like the Black Caps latest skipper Kane Williamson. Unlike the stable Ox, the Horse ain’t suited to routine and boredom for very long.

 So how well is K Williamson going to go this year, and how long till he tires of captaincy’s seriousness  ?

 To be revealed in the weekly Astrology Report, which returns to the Auckland-based Indian radio station Humm Fm  tomorrow morning.

 8.30 am Thursdays, 106.2 fm ( NZ) or via the website hummfm.com.

 

SCOTT WATSON : WHO DUNNIT !

January 25

 Astrological factors guarantee that there will always be innocents locked up for crimes they didn’t commit and spending much time in seclusion.

 Few more notable in NZ than Arthur Allan Thomas, who did 9 years inside because filthy cop Bruce Hutton planted the infamous cartridge case. Astrologically, Thomas had a very loaded 12^th House, indicating he was fated from birth to spend considerable time in “ secret places.” ( During the " planting " operation, Detective Inspector Hutton was under an  Uranus-Sun attack that weakens mortals and makes them behave erratically and without reason….)

 As with the another controversial, the David Bain case, there were no planetary influences indicating either was in murder mood at offence time. With both encountering serious, surprise sadness at verdict time.

 Ditto Scott Watson, who made the news recently:

Publisher Ian Wishart says a new book will finally solve the infamous Marlborough Sounds murder case.

Wishart will next week publish the book, Elementary -- The Explosive File on Scott Watson and the Disappearance of Ben and Olivia. The book looks at the disappearance of Ben Smart, 21, and Olivia Hope, 17, in the Marlborough Sounds on New Year's Day, 1998.

Scott Watson was convicted of their murders in May 1999 and remains in prison. He has denied any involvement in their disappearance and death.

The remains of Smart and Hope have never been found.

Wishart said he was "pitching" the book as "solving the case".

Underworld sources have described the killer as a  paedophile dentist, aged 55  and owner of the often discussed  " mystery ketch. " A fan of drug rape, apparently.

AVOIDING DISASTER

January 24

 The incredible accuracy of public prophesy leaves little room for debate about the wonders of the world’s oldest science.

 The normal 90% success rate is proof enough, especially with the pearls already  from last November’s Annuals. Like the prophesies on Rafael Nadal, Rupert Murdoch, Donald Trump, Bill Cosby, Sepp Blatter, Louis Van Gaal, Ravi Shastri and Brendon McCullum from the select 100. So far.

 Personal readings are the real convincer. As per some recent feedback:

 “ Hi Don,

Back in July I met with you to discuss my chart along with my fiancee, X.

Your assessment of the transits has been proven to be accurate.

 I have left the corporate work place, I have changed up my career path completely and have decided to start a business on my own with the aim to base it in USA.

 This is pretty significant as you said. I'm hoping not to fail otherwise I'd have to return to the workforce which I don't want.

 I had learnt that my parents had visited you in 2014, you obviously didn't tell me for confidentiality reasons which I appreciate. You had said I would have difficulties with my partner around the middle of 2015 to them. You had also said this to me when I met you back in July.

 Our relationship ended during Venus retrograde. Out of nowhere. This disconnect is causing me great stress and tension as it makes zero sense. ”

All readings are done in complete confidence. We have a motto: If it’s gonna happen ( or not gonna happen ) , you might as well be prepared………

 

HARRYDICULOUS !

January 22

From the latest media:

“ Britain's most eligible royal bachelor is reportedly dating Princess Maria-Olympia .

After a string of high-profile break-ups, Prince Harry has fallen for a new woman  – and a princess no less!

‘Harry has fallen head over-heels with Maria-Olympia,’ a royal insider tells. ‘He’s absolutely smitten. They’ve been on a string of dates and are planning to go skiing in Switzerland before Easter. ”

From the Annual Prophesies, www.donmurrayastrologer.com, November 26, 2015:

“ Harry, Prince of England:

Uranus-Venus chaos ends February then the frustrating  Pluto-Venus love block rules until late Nov 2017. The awesome Pluto-Moon trine of 018-019 will supervise marriage.”

Hazza’s presently got erratic Uranus ( Aries 16 ) enhancing his Mars ( Sagittarius 16.57 ) until January 26 then  harassing his Libra 17.42 Venus until February 17 to supervise romantic reversals and chaos. With Pluto in the Libra-unfriendly sign of Capricorn around 17 degrees causing all matter of romantic frustrations until November 2017.

Obviously this liaison hasn’t been sanctioned by the royal Astrologer. For Princess Maria is the last thing you’d wanna get tied to. It’s got a gloomy, dark Scorpion Moon ( like Harry’s uncle Andrew )  and Venus in Gemini which loves duality and having a dart down the blind side. Also a very tight Sun-Uranus opposition that’ll make it easily bored and liable to cheat or have a gambling problem.

RAFAEL NADAL’S  “ JANUARY ”  !

January 20

From the latest media:

“ Rafael Nadal has been knocked out of the Australian Open in the first round by Fernando Verdasco.

Should the defeat be treated as a one-off, or does it indicate the 14-time Grand Slam champion, who turns 30 this year, is in a state of decline?

Nadal's defeat by Spanish compatriot Verdasco was only his second ever first-round exit at a Grand Slam.

But it followed a 2015 season in which he failed to win a Grand Slam title for the first time since 2004.”

Silly question ! Already answered in the Annual Prophesies, www.donmurrayastrologer.com, November 26, 2015:

“ Nadal, Rafael:

Major off-year for the tennis champ with Pluto-Venus attacks in Jan, July, Nov. Uranus-Mars negativity lowers the energy in May, Oct as well.”

METHAMETHA COBALT DOWNDATE

January 19

 There’s  no update on the current hilarious in horse racing, so there must be a downdate.

 As per the Matamata stable of Lance O’Sullivan-Andrew Scott having gallopers return positive tests to the banned drug cobalt last February ( two ) and March ( one).

 Still no charges laid, almost a year later !  All the indications are that the Racing Integrity Unit are desperately trying to find loopholes for this incredible case to be accidental. Stable excuses have been offered like the cobalt was included in a sample from a feed company representative.

 Many have noted the great loss of form by the O’Sullivan-Scott stable since the cobalt revelations.

 In the  2013-14 season they had 30 wins from 211 starters and in 2014-15, 51 wins from 328. A winner every 7.03 and 6.43 starters respectively.

 In 2015-16 it’s a win from every 14.78 starters, like just 9 from a total of 133 !

 It’s been well documented how junior partner Andrew Scott’s done time previously for serious racing offences. And the birth chart of Lance O’Sullivan ONZM includes Saturn in House 12, that classic for hiding dark secrets and presenting a smiley face. Puts him in the company of national leaders like Helen Clark, Barack Obama, Vladimir Putin and George W Bush etc…….

 Ironically, the longer they fuck around, the closer it gets to the fruition of an appearance in the Annual Prophesies, www.donmurrayastrologer.com, November 26, 2015:

“ O’Sullivan, Lance:

Turmoil for former champion jockey-turned trainer eases  after Uranus attacks in March, but  with massive lifestyle restructuring from Pluto anti Jupiter in 2017, then the North Node and Mars in 2018. ”

Meanwhile in Australian racing there seems to be a fresh cobalt case coming up every month. There’s a minimum of 3 years disqualification, as  a Kavanagh, Brennan, D Smith, and the Hopes etc have discovered, with others like O’Brien, another Kavanagh, Moody and an O’Sullivan partnership in wait of their fate.

Just like the human responsible for his own positives to methamphetamine or alcohol, the horse trainer is responsible for presenting his horse to the races drug free. Very simple, instant loss of licence.

The  Matamata  O’Sullivans have long been regarded as NZ racing’s Royal family and a protected species. Even if their incredible three cobalt positives do get the hoover-Bremworth treatment, the “ massive lifestyle restructuring ” will still happen for  L A O’Sullivan  ONZM……..

 

GLOOM MAINTENANCE

January 17

It’s hardly surprising there’s so many angry and depressed humans, when you look at the gloomy mainstream media headlines !

Check the NZ HERALD online, at  8.47 pm  16 January 2016:

Woman run down by car in street clash

 Scorcher weather: how long will it last?

 One injured after car hits power pole

 Road works begin days before car ban

 Lucky escape after car rolls onto rocks

 Ed Sheeran fan dies after cancer battle

 Hundreds 'stranded' in Queenstown

Woman killed in 'burglary gone wrong' in Te Atatu named

Fatal car crash in Waipu

 Women 'reclaim streets' for slain mum

Of course it’s all part of the evil Jewish master plan to have the masses living in fear, inhibited and stressing about terrorists and paedophiles.

Hating each other, too, as the great unwashed  get dirty on the umpire’s bad decision or waiting 45 minutes for a beer at the cricket game. Same reason why they refuse to acknowledge the wonders of professional Astrology, which empowers individuals who shall understand why the Auckland Blues and Warriors are " Donalded " this year. Courtesy of horrific Saturn and Pluto phases for coaches T Umaga and A McFadden respectively.Etc

Hardly something evil Jew wants the many-headed monster of the pit to know. Otherwise they won’t bother bitching to VEITCHY ON SPORT.

As an Heraldian of 40 years ago ( see story below ) I note the drastic changes forced upon them by competition. And recall an older colleague there who claimed that “ reading the Herald each morning is the highlight of my day.”

Just like Kevin Spacey in the movie AMERICAN BEAUTY, reckoning that his day’s highpoint was having a wank in the morning shower.

Enjoy your headlines !

WHY XTRAVAGANT GOT BEAT

January 16

Following the sensational defeat of $1.30  red-hotter Xtravagant today, plenty of shock-cock horseyheads would been quoting their favourite idiocy.

“ There are no certainties in racing.”

Wrong, of course, conclusively proven with the “ Astrological certainty ” tag being placed on the $7.85 winner of the 6400-metres 1996 Great Northern Steeplechase on Trackside Channel 3.5 weeks beforehand. A prophesy supervised by presenter George Simon, who called today’s race at Trentham and the 4^th  placing of NZ racing’s supposedly next big thing.

Officially, two of the Xtravagant camp, trainer Stephen Autridge and manager “ Tom Thumb ” Ellis were under horrific solar and martian aspects today  to their natal Neptunes. With Ellis’ appearance in last November’s Annual Prophesies indicating more health and marital problems for 2016 instead of having a champion racehorse.

Ironically the $26.80 winner Dukedom has a trainer, 24 year-old Steven Cole, who’s experiencing some awesome Uranus-Venus action this Autumn and would be better off conquering Australia than  team  “ Tom Thumb ”. As I remember an advisory blast from Cole’s father David in the same year Steven was born.

I had known D Cole as a racing journalist in the mid-1970s and he was horrified at my 1991 lives, as an Astrologer, and shellfish deliverer in lower socio economic Otara: “ If you’d had any bloody brains or discipline, you could have had Allan Brown’s job and he got nearly a million in redundancy ! ” ( when NZ HERALD racing editor Brown retired after 43 years service in 1991.)

Yep, I could have been racing editor, like Mike Dillon, the 70 year-old with even more column years than Brown, interviewing members of team Tom Thumb and desperately trying to find reasons for Xtravagant’s downfall. But David Cole came to accept  that there was more to life than racing  journalism, and that Mr Brown definitely hadn’t been a wharfie, a truck driver or polo pony groom in various parts of the world, and probably hadn’t befriended ladies from faraway lands like Zimbabwe, Poland or Greece.

Meanwhile I shall be reporting to Team Cole with some nice “ buzz dates ” this Autumn. Possibilities, as always, of longshots ( like $26.80 ), as the Champion Racing System is about to return from some time in the spelling paddock, around January 30, February 1. We’ve had a couple of  quiet years, with no double figure win dividends since Civics Rock ( $28.50 ) 25 months ago.

Difficult Pluto affects Astrologers like everyone else. Clear of such, the game plan this year is to eclipse the 8 wins from 18 starters in the year 2012. It’s such fun extracting money from such an evil and decadent industry and anybody’s welcome to join……

 Since 2011:  89  investments, 23 wins 
Average win div $7.73  on a 25% winning strike rate ( Investment $1=$1.93 )

Since 2000:  713  investments, 239  wins.

 Average win $3.81  on a 33 % winning strike rate  ( Investment $1=$1.27 )

JOSEPH PARKER ISSUES

January 15

 It was no surprise that South Auckland boxer Joseph Parker maintained his unbeaten record last year, when you consider the appearance in the Annual Prophesies of November 2014:

 “ Parker, Joseph:

 Big ups for the boxer with Pluto trining his Jupiter until December.”

 Of course this had nothing to do with him reading a “ Capricorn ” paragraph like Richie McCaw, Kim Jong Un, Tiger Woods and David Bowie ( until recently ). It was about his personal Astrology.

 With a different perspective in the www.donmurrayastrologer.com Annuals of November 2015:

“ Parker, Joseph:

Boxing  champ on major slowdown with Uranus-Sun attack Feb then Pluto reconstruction between April 016 and Nov 017. Feb, March, May, Sept, Oct in 016 difficult.”

Consider this effusion in the recent media:

“ Joseph Parker and trainer Kevin Barry have labelled their preparation for next week's bout against Jason Bergman in Samoa as 'frustrating' and 'concerning'. 

The January 23 clash will be Parker's sixth fight in 10 months, with Barry saying "we just haven't had any down time" and "Joseph's body is telling him he needs a break."

So what about trainer Kev, born 10 October 1959, alluded to also in the Libra section of last Novembers Annual Prophesies ?

“ Difficult  Pluto-Sun restructuring for October 9,10,11 births and Uranian chaos for Oct 14,15,16,17.”

Therefore deserving of a late entry into the November 2015 Annuals:

“Barry, Kevin:

Boxing coach being severely hampered by Pluto-Sun and Uranus-Mars attacks. Jan, May, July, Oct, Nov and March 2017 challenging.”

 

AUSTRALIA’S “ VERY CHALLENGING JANUARY ”

January 14

You can lead a mentally ill moron to water, but you can’t make him think.

Just over six years ago I warned blogger Cameron “ Fail Oil ” Slater about an upcoming Uranus-Jupiter explosion in his Astrological chart. Advice to “ find out what time you were born ” went unheeded and just five months later an insurance company stopped his payments. Again, Slater had to sell the family home and rental illness joined his mental illness !

Last year we had some " Uranus anti Jupiter " pearls from the November 2014 Annual Prophesies which brought major and expensive reversals:

McCullum, Brendon:

Career chaos when Uranus whacks Jupiter in April, November, January 016 . Pluto-Jupiter attack 2016 will supervise even bigger changes.

Williams, Serena:

Major reversals with Uranus whacking Jupiter and midheaven April, Sept and Jan 016 before Pluto attacks them both in 2016-17 to supervise major personal reconstruction.

 Abbott, Tony:

Australian Prime Minister enveloped in chaos May, October and March 016 with Uranus attacking his Jupiter. Worse in 2017 when Pluto takes over.

 Woods, Tiger:

Golfing legend on the big downer with crazy Uranus over Jupiter in March then Pluto causing the problems from April until January 016. Serious Saturn-Venus blocks July, August 015 also.

 Last year the archives of www.donmurrayastrologer.com had another warning:

CHINA “ DONALDED ”AS WELL !

August 26

Including

' So what about China, centrestage in the current crisis ?  I had a find of China’s natal chart and immediately had to call to my fictitious neighbour from Shenyang “ Ho Lee Fuk ! ”

Looney Uranus, retrograding through Aries 19 shall soon ( in September )  be smashing China’s natal Mercury ( Libra 19 ) that’s in the 10^th House of business and political matters. In direct motion, chaotic Uranus shall again be slamming into Libra 19 next March before 22 Aries has it whacking China’s Jupiter ( Capricorn 22 ) from May 2016 for another 10 months !

This Jupiter’s in China’s 2^nd House ( money, finance, possessions) ! Plus nebulous, wicked Neptune’s anti China’s natal Moon until next February, the Moon being in House 9 of foreign and overseas matters and involved with the moneyed House 8 !

“ Ho Lee Fuk…. you better ring your  relatives and warn them all. ” '

Hardly a surprise that the Chinese stockmarket’s been crumbling recently, with a dozen or so billionaires suddenly disappearing. Early January has had plenty of carnage in the Australian stockmarket, and that is hardly surprising either.

From the Annual Prophesies, www.donmurrayastrologer.com, November 26, 2015:

“ Australia:

Nation getting its Venus and Mars hampered by negative  Neptune energy until December 2017. General  lack of positivity and much unhappiness from a worsening economy, with early Jan, May, Sept 016 very challenging. ”

As Bachman Turner Overdrive sang about 40 years ago “ B-B-B-Baby you just ain’t seen nothing yet ! ”

RUPERT MURDOCH’S “ WONDERFUL NEW PARTNERSHIP ”

January 13

Back in July 2011 it were Astrologically decreed on then www.donmurray.co.nz that Rupert Murdoch’s marriage to Wendy Deng would be ending in 2013.

Nothing to do with stray Donalds or other matters, simply Murdoch’s Jupiter ( Cancer 10.28 ) being attacked in that year by Uranus in Aries and Pluto in Capricorn both from 10 degrees as well.

Come July 2013 and their separation is announced, around which time I indicated a further wonderful partnership for 1931-born Murdoch. With  Neptune in Cancerian-friendly Pisces heading for 10 degrees, and the receiving Jupiter being placed in the 7^th House ( governor of partnerships and close relationships ) in Murdoch’s natal chart. Earning him a spot in November 2015’s Annual Prophesies on www.donmurrayastrologer.com:

“ Murdoch, Rupert:

Wonderful  new partnership for the media’s dirty old man, with awesome Neptune-Jupiter and Uranus-Moon trines. March, July, Aug, Sept and  Jan 017 blissful. ”

So yesterday’s announcement ain’t too surprising:

" She may not have been wearing a diamond engagement ring at the Golden Globes on Sunday night, however former supermodel Jerry Hall, 59, and her new boyfriend, 84-year-old media mogul Rupert Murdoch, are set to make things permanent.

The pair have announced their engagement, with a small notice appearing in the Murdoch-owned London newspaper The Times just hours after they walked the red carpet in Los Angles."

So notable are the movements of brilliant/erratic Uranus, through Aries 20 and 24 degrees this year, and assisting the Sagittarius 24.18 Moon in the Murdoch chart. ( The Moon rules Cancer, ruler of the 7^th House ). Then Uranus around Aries 27 next year causing more grief to another Murdoch birth position—Mars at Cancer 27 !

Interestingly this Mars is in Murdoch’s 8^th House ( sex, research and post-marital life.)  Said Uranus-Mars attack shall bring major troubles in post-marital matters and has already booked R Murdoch a spot in the Pisces Sun section of the Annual Prophesies for November 2016, along with Dan Carter, Martin Devlin, Peter Dunne, Danielle Johnson and Floyd Mayweather.

Come 2018 and deceptive, seductive Neptune’s up around Pisces 15 and squashing Murdoch’s natal Mercury. If ever there’s a mind fucker, it’s Neptune over Mercury. Dementia or Alzheimers a major probability, with R Murdoch turning 87 that year……

THE KILLER HUNCHES

January 12

 There’s one certainty about every murder, car crash or  terrorism victim.

 They were all in the wrong place at the wrong time. There are some phenomenal stories of psychic awareness and hunches, and the great warnings  given. Only for those in the zone of peace and love, just like the very gifted animals, which is foreign to the masses who are unable to distance themselves from negative influences in order to minimise idiot contact.

 Like being at the gym one morning  when the strong hunch is to go visit an Ethiopian lady named Abebe, whose family I’d met through a refugee assistance programme. She ain’t home this morning, but 2 sisters are and eagerly telling me about the Ethiopian Orthodox Church 50-day fast which ended at 4 am. And inviting me to join the celebration feast after so much denial of  animal products  which included chocolate cake, neenish tarts, caramel slices, pavolva  etc. It is extremely good manners to accept Ethiopian invitations…….

 Asking WTF a hunch is telling me to brave the gaggle of  4 pm rush-hour traffic for, just to go and see a Maori mate in Otara ?  Going to see him tomorrow wasn’t acceptable.  Hunch followed and heaps of cars visiting the grinning guy who’s been in a wheelchair for 20 years: “ Hahaha, was just trying to find your number and  say come round for a  farewell smoke bro’,  because I’m going to live in Napier tomorrow.”

 Like the man who changed his plans about the fatal 1979  Mt Erebus flight and avoided being one of the  257   killed. His psychic had seen a plane surrounded by ice and snow…..

 Or the Hillsborough tea leaf reader in March 1981 who saw  " a long  journey " for me. My indication that the truckdriving job could be taking me way down to Wellington soon was dismissed. " I see water…another country. "  Two weeks later I was relieved of my truckdriving job and 4 hours after booked a ticket to London……

 September 1983 back home I revisited the Hillsborough lady. The tea leaves saw a tall, dark man from the crown, or law, some minor troubles but nothing  serious. One hour later I’m driving home in the darkness of rural Ihumatao ( near Mangere Airport ) and notice a large Holden tailing my Austin 1100. Into my driveway and he stops outside.

 A tall, Maori policeman wanting confirmation that I own the car.

How long have you owned it ? 

4 months

Have you got the registration papers ?

No

Who did you purchase it from ?

A Mr David Jameson

A maori guy ?

Yes

Maori Dave of Highway 61 ?

Yes

 Apparently a woman was claiming it was her car that had been stolen, with new number plates.The involvement of a motorcycle gang leader must have got him excited. I was instructed to take it to the Otahuhu cop shop next day in sunlight to get the engine and chassis numbers checked. They didn’t match the " stolen " vehicle and the peelers gave me the address of the last-known owner for finding purposes. No such address, so I just made a declaration about purchasing the car from Mr D Jameson……

 “ A tall, dark man from the law, but nothing serious.”

DAVID BOWIE’S DEPRESSION

January 11

The musical legend’s 69^th birthday last week took me back more than 40 years to the great days of Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane, Diamond Dogs and Starman etc.

I decided to locate his Astrological chart for character consideration and noticed the depression classic—Mars ( Capricorn 16.44 ) in secretive House 12 ! Putting him in the same cot as classic New Zealand depression sufferers like the late Charlotte Dawson, model Nicky Watson, broadcaster Murray Deaker, rugby league coach Bluey McLennan and obviously millions of others including Donald Trump.

For Mars has to go somewhere, and there are only 12 Houses, so approximately 8% of the world shall be born with the depression classic. Another with same is Rolling Stones legend Mick Jagger, sprung one morning getting a blowjob from David by Mrs Angie Bowie, who has spoken openly of D Bowie’s depressions and addictions to threesomes.

Having the sensitive, changeful Moon on his 7^th House cusp made it very difficult for D Bowie to stay faithful, something also in the chart of  NZ entertainer/rugby league star  Methyou Ridge. And an Indian client  also with the Mars depression classic and a Scorpio Moon, which made me suggest that his marriage might have been “ very short.”

“ Vedi vedi short, ” he explained. “ It was arranged by my father, lasted for 3 days and wasn’t even consummated ! ”

Most interesting is the  12^th House Capricorn 16.44 Mars and nearby Sun at 17.15 degrees in the natal chart of D Bowie. Which means that Dave’s got destructive Pluto squashing his Mars next month and the Sun in March and May. There’s more Pluto-Mars destruction in June and December, with further Pluto hits on the Sun in January, August and October 2017.

D Bowie is, consequently, a major depression watch over the next 2 years…..

·         PIG BENNETT “ VISIBLY UPSET ? ”

·         January 10

Apparently so, if the desperately dirty NZ HERALD can be trusted:

' Cabinet Minister Paula Bennett has spoken out about slain Auckland mum Jo Pert - one of her best friends - in an emotional press conference this afternoon.

Ms Bennett is a close friend of Ms Pert's family and spoke on their behalf at Auckland's Viaduct at 12.30pm.

Ms Bennett went to school with Ms Pert's cousin and eventually became "best friends" with her.

Ms Bennett said she and Ms Pert's family "thought long and hard about making a statement".

"We want to be left alone now," Ms Bennett said, tissues in hand and visibly upset.'

Obviously a major publicity stunt for the Pig, known for treating state house tenants, the unemployed and homeless like shit. She who stipulates that sickness beneficiaries be searching for work while awaiting cancer treatment !  She who was a solo mother at age 17.

Hardly any reason for Bennett to poke her snout into the media trough, when “ we want to be left alone now ” ?  Very possibly ordered by the leader of the cuntry, John Key, who would have used his Jew connections in Hollywood to arrange for Pig Paula to have “ crisis acting ” lessons. ( see Jan 8 article ) There is a correct way to sob, and use tissues, and of course dirty old Herald don’t mind a death story or several on the lead page every day…..

There’ll be more weirdness, too, and probably some more publicity stunts in the near future. With some major catastrophes following her appearance in last November’s Annual Prophesies, www.donmurrayastrologer.com:

“ Bennett, Paula:

Massive  comedown for the pig of politics. Extremely erratic behaviour March-April  with Uranus bombing her Sun, Mercury and Venus. Same 3 getting hammered by  Pluto destruction 017-018, while Neptune attacks her Mars. ”

Fast forward to 4 min mark:  https://insightnz.wordpress.com/2015/11/15/watch-andrew-little-tear-paula-bennett-to-shreds-in-parliament/

 

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE FOREVER

January 9

From Australia:

" One in six women have experienced violence by a partner. Among indigenous women, that rate is one in three.

The former police chief leading the national response into domestic violence, Ken Lay, says we must work to prevent, not simply punish, these crimes."

Nice thought fella, but you are also fighting  the New World Order with designs on wrecking families. With an institutionalised ex-cop so unlikely to know about the “ Sun-Mars factor.”

Every year includes several days when the Sun and Mars are in disagreement, and those born in those times have an automatic gravitation towards anger and violence. About 20 years ago I began noticing that this aspect was very common in the birth charts of battering ram rugby and league props ( i.e jailed Russell Packer  ), and more recently so common in female victims of domestic violence.

My clients in 2015 included more Indian female victims of domestic violence than ever before. Some born during the above, others born during disharmony betweeen Venus  and Mars, that recipe for the restless workaholic type who has great difficulty relaxing. Same found in the charts of great sportsmen like Andrew Johns, and departeds like Chopper Read and the late Sir Paul Holmes (secretly renowned for his drug addictions and sexual deviancy.)

We must remember that Pluto’s tour de Capricorn between 2008 and 2024 is severely restructuring tradition, authority and the family unit and consequently supervising more relationship bust-ups than ever.

And that Mars will always have disagreements with the Sun and Venus. Like 2016 will have Sun-Mars disharmony during the 3-4 days either side of Feb 7, May 22 and Sept 14, with Venus-Mars clashes around March 15, May 25 and Aug 7. ( Consider the dynamics of those born between May 22 and 25 ! )

No anti-domestic violence campaigns, red noses, blue ribbons or pink pussies are gonna change that, unless the entire world goes Astrological. My planet book only goes as far as 2050, and already I can see Sun-Mars and Venus-Mars " domestics " on August 14 and July 5 respectively in 2050 !

 

SADCUN TOBAMA

January 8

 One  of the zillions of great Astrological discoveries is  “ Saturn in the 12^th.”

 When a subject has restrictive Saturn in secretive House 12 of the Astrological chart that allows the hiding of dirty dark secrets required by the need to display a proud public face. Quite common amongst national leaders being controlled by the Jew World Order.

 Much has been written about the awesome foursome, the prime ministerial quadrella of George W Bush, Helen Clark, Vladimir Putin and Barack a.k.a  Sadcun  Tobama, who sobs occasionally after one of the USA’s staged gun massacres. Saturn in the 12^th tells us that Sadcun’s hiding plenty.

 There’s brilliant evidence about the Sandy Hook and San Bernadino soap operas  being staged. There’s even greater revelations about the " crisis actors " with multiple identities, with the same female face losing " loved ones " at both Sandy Hook and November’s  Paris drama !

 This one’s a crack up,too.

METHAMETHA BASHING UPDATE

January 7

 Last month details were revealed of a vicious attack on a Matamata trainer by 3 members of the Moroney-Ormsby stable’s staff back in August.

The victim is continuing his fight for justice:

 " Received a letter from Dennis Ryan ( Matamata Racing Club president )  who stated that " the matter is closed " . I received his letter on 24th December 2015 .

 The letter stated that it was a reply to my e-mail which was sent to Matamata Racing Club on 17th August 2015 .

 I immediately reinformed Dennis by a letter that   ( a )  , he's taken a few months to reply to my letter   ( b ) the MRC have not complied with my Privacy Act Request for all pertinent information with regards to myself which includes all of the  concocted info against me which was cooked up at MRC in order to absolve the " bashers " from being accountable for their actions   and   ( c ) this matter is not closed . 

 Just a few days earlier from my " surprise " post from Dennis , I had a telephone conversation with the Privacy Commission who reiterated that those entities which have not complied with the Privacy Act and that it was unacceptable . 

 20 working days is the timeframe for a reply .

 MRC took  2 1/2    months following my initial request for info . They said that they didn't have anything .The NZ Police were sent an OIA Request on 30th October 2015 and have not been heard from at all .

 The NZRB say serious situation , not us it's them  ( meaning RIU & Police  ) who should be dealing with the assault and the other criminal damage against us and our property .

 The NZRB stated that it has no power over other Racing Jurisdictions .

 This is contrary to the Racing Act where it has control over everything , finances , the lot ! "

 There is a very slimy can of worms being slowly prised open. The Moroney family have a long history in horse racing Matamata, with Melbourne Cup-winning trainer Mike Moroney operating stables in both Matamata and Melbourne.

 Mike’s daughter  Aliesha Moroney is also “ Project Manager ” for NZ Racing and currently trying to eliminate the Sun with a water pistol i.e promoting a new craze called “ love racing ” to seduce the masses back to racemeetings ! ( The kind of stupidity that can be expected with Neptune-Sun and Uranus-Jupiter delusions in her Astrological chart )

 And her “ life partner ” is Mike Moroney’s  junior training partner, Chad Ormsby. He knows the identities of the 3 who ganged up on the small-time trainer…….

 As for Dennis Ryan, he might as well be wearing a straight jacket and handcuffs. He’s done every job in racing except jockey and Astrological Investment adviser, at present being the supposedly impartial editor of the weekly racing mag who answers to the rich and famous while also trying to keep Methametha racing shiny pastel pink and squeaky clean.

 This matter, for Ryan’s information, is far from “ closed.”

Footnote:  Methametha was so renamed after a spate of P scandals in " Matamata " began some 7-8 years ago. Just recently, however, a policeman down there, in discussion with an acquaintance of mine, referred to the town as “ Crystal City.”

ALCOHOL UPDATE

January 5

 On April 9 this year I shall charge my glass of guava juice in honour of an arresting officer.

 He who told me 40 years earlier that “ if they discovered alcohol tomorrow, pal, that’d be illegal as well ( as marijuana ).”

 Occasionally I consider him, and wonder how far he rose in the force with an attitude like that. After all, alcohol provides his colleagues with constant employment:

 From the NZ Police website.

"Alcohol – laws and penalties.
Over a third of all offences are committed by an offender who has been drinking. A significant proportion of police work therefore involves alcohol-related incidents. This includes violent offending, homicides, drink-driving, family violence, accommodating intoxicated people in cells and incidents or offending involving young people.
On an 'average' day in New Zealand:
52 people are taken home or detained in police custody due to their state of intoxication
340 offences occur where police see alcohol involved in the offending, including 100 drink-drive offences and 30 breaches of liquor bans
8,764 breath tests are undertaken
40 licensed premises are visited by police to monitor compliance with the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012."

 

RAPIST ASTROLOGY----BILL  CLINTON

January 4

 How coincidental that Rapism USA has a white Billy C and a black Billy C.

 Black Billy Cosby’s finally facing the music ( article January 1 ) just as white Billy Clinton’ s completing his 7^th out-of-court settlement for a  matter involving rape allegations.

 White Billy’s got a primo natal chart for a sexual deviate. Consider his Taurus Moon in House 8. Wherever the Moon is, there is a great need, like an addiction. One with the Moon in House 3 of the mind, communications, mental interests, for example, has an addiction for learning and knowledge,frequently a gossip.

 Gambling addictions come from a Moon in the 5^th House ( sports, games, speculating ) and White Billy’s got his addictive Moon in House 8 that governs sexual activity and post-marital matters. With the 8^th House in  White Billy’s chart being ruled by Mars and that’s a totally different kettle of fish smell.

 Clinton’s Mars ( Libra 6.21 ) is dangerously close to his Neptune ( Libra 6.51 ) and therefore extremely  weakened. There’s a lack of willpower and a hint of nymphomania, with Mars’ rulership of House 8.

 Obviously his long-suffering  wife  Hillary gave up trying to  " bring her Billy to the boil " ages ago, remembering that Hillary’s chart has one of the classics for non-enjoyment of sex, courtesy of a very tight negative involving Venus and  the destructive Mars-Pluto union. Ditto in the chart of a gorgeous young Indian lady who came for an enlightenment recently, brought by a  girlfriend who joked about her mate “ being gay,”   and  “ nobody’s giving her any.”

 In one of those separate-life/separate bed marriages with immigrational complications. And born during that Venus-Mars tightness like Hillary C, with a husband who’d cheated many times, like White Billy C. She don’t like sex but gets her buzz from heavy gambling……..

 DIMINUTIVE DICK DAVE

 NZ thoroughbred racing has a prominent fellow with an identical Mars-Neptune construction  to Bill Clinton. Hereafter referred to as DDD and infamous amongst horse racing whisperers for some of his sexploits, which included seducing a 15 year-old friend of his daughter on weekend leave from boarding school. DDD also had to fork out $30k in hush money upon her parents’ insistence, and amazingly I encountered said 15 year-old many years later and she had memories of  " the smallest cock I’ve ever seen ! "

 Something I’d heard from 2 other victims of DDD, including “ like a fucking little bumble bee.” DDD’s second wife, also, has a serious Venus affliction ( like Ms Clinton and the gorgeous young Indian lady ) that is very inhibiting, sexually. What  an exponent of cockney rhyme would consider a  “ lousy Donald.”

 I was wondering if the Mars-Neptune affliction might be relevant to undersized male organs. Perhaps just better to warn women of males with a Mars-Neptune affliction, and men of females with Venus complications in the natal chart…..

CHRISTCHURCH SUICIDES

January 3

There’s a touch of irony about the latest suicide drama:

“ Concerns are mounting over the scale of Canterbury's mental health problem, as suicide-related emergency calls double in the last year.

It comes as documents reveal discussions between Canterbury health officials and the Government have stalled over a discrepancy over the size of the problem.

Two top clinicians have challenged the Ministry of Health's "dogged determination to deny any earthquake related increase in mental health needs".

Canterbury police district commander Superintendent John Price said "calls for service" relating to attempted suicides had steadily increased since 2011. ”

Following the February 2011 earthquake tragedy I had a plan for the confused people of Christchurch. Just a month earlier Newstalk ZB had hosted the 18^th consecutive, annual State of the Astrological Nation address, with thousands of listeners and presenter Murray Deaker ONZM furthering their education.

Thousands had received after-show personal enlightenment, but there was very minimal feedback from the January 2011 edition. Maybe all of Deaker’s listeners had got their charts done, so I approached the station manager yet again, with a more regular Astrological show away from sport in mind, to continue assisting the talkback callers who would jam Deaker’s lines as soon as I entered the studio every January.

It made sense to provide some Astrological interpretation for the grief stricken  Christchurchians after February 2011, but the station manager, a Dallas somebody, lost his rag: “ I’ve been to Christchurch, I know what it’s like. The last thing they want is someone predicting another earthquake ! ”

I was tempted to  call him a  sad cunt, but tried to explain that individual  talkback callers could be given enlightenment and Astrological advice, just like the thousands on Deaker’s show over the years. Nah, he wasn’t interested in helping the masses, obviously with Deaker and co babbling about sport his preference.

Deaker had been a fine promoter of Astrology until he went dog after his personal humiliation over the 2007 Rugby World Cup disaster for the All Blacks. He’d started making snide remarks about my “ lifestyle ” that he didn’t “ approve of .”  I was in good company in 2012, when Judge Deaker earned worldwide scorn for criticising the lifestyle of Sonny Bill Williams:

“ He is a Muslim, in a so-called Christian country, and that makes me uncomfortable'." 

Ironically Deaker was renowned for his battles with alcohol then “ mental illness.” Yet not once in those 18 years did his large ego allow him to seek wisdom  about his own personal struggles from one he frequently called  " the  Astrologer extraordinaire. "  Like a simple  10-minutes of explanation about Deaker’s  great depression classic— Mars in secretive House 12--- that creates  repression, paranoia and problems with the fragile ego.

I  decided that 2011 had been my last show with Deaker and Newstalk ZB. A very lucrative and wonderful chapter in the great comic book of life was over.

So it was very  interesting to read about  “ the scale of Canterbury's mental health problem, as suicide-related emergency calls double in the last year .”

 

“ HONOUR ”  FOR A.P McCOY

January 2

“ McCoy  A.P:

Awesome Pluto-Sun trine brings more honour for England's 19 times-champion  jumps jockey. ”

 While creating this entry  for the November 2014 Annual Prophesies, I often wondered WTF  else could send  a champion like McCoy over the Moon ?

 This, from the latest media:

“ Champion jump jockey AP McCoy has been knighted.

McCoy, 41, rode more than 4,300 winners in his career and is only the second jockey, after Gordon Richards in 1953, to become a Sir.

Champion jockey 20 years running, for every year he was a professional, McCoy was given the BBC Lifetime Achievement Award earlier this month. ”

Pluto trines are amazing and a major advantage when you know when to capitalise. Just look at how predicted, awesome Pluto trines have also advanced people like Joseph Parker, Gemma Flynn, Lydia Ko, Mick Jagger, Sonny Bill Williams, Steven Adams, Shahrukh Khan, Eminem  and Konrad Hurrell etc in 2015.

Konrad Hurrell, the NZ Warrior whose season was plagued with injuries, form loss and demotions ? Yep, his Pluto-Mars trine supervised the purchase of  some property, just six driveways down from myself. So I shall have to amble down and say “ sorry, uce/dox/bro for telling you that you were gonna have a great year on the field.”

BILL COSBY UPDATE

In the article below I marvelled at the swiftness of Bill Cosby’s prediction just a month earlier bearing fruit. Then I noticed the progression factor in his prophesy from November 2014:

“ Cosby, Bill:

Disgraced  comedian under fire from Uranus-Sun reversals. May, Sept and March 016 notable. Dec 015 has a very difficult progression. ”

 

INSTANT BILL COSBY !

January 1

From the recent media:

“ For the first time, Bill Cosby will face criminal charges in connection with an accusation of sexual assault.

Prosecutors in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, charged Cosby with aggravated indecent assault.

First Assistant District Attorney Kevin Steele said the single charge stems from an alleged sexual assault in early 2004.”

From Wikipedia: "  American entertainer Bill Cosby has been the subject of publicized sexual assault allegations. With the earliest alleged incidents taking place in the mid-1960s, Cosby has been accused by more than 50 women of either rape, drug facilitated sexual assault, sexual battery, child sexual abuse, and/or sexual misconduct. Earlier sexual assault allegations against Cosby became more public after an October 2014 comedy routine by comedian Hannibal Buress alluding to Cosby's covert sexual misbehavior went viral, and many additional claims were made after that date. The dates of the alleged incidents span from 1965 to 2008 across 10 U.S. states and one Canadian province^{. "}

Finally action is being taken. How coincidental, considering his appearance in the recent November 26 Annual Prophesies on www.donmurrayastrologer.com:

“ Cosby, Bill:

Unbelievably difficult 2 years for the king of drug rape, with Uranus anti his Sun, Mercury and Jupiter. March, May, June, Sept, Oct  crucial, also March, April 017. Plus Neptune-Moon disillusionment  from May 016 until Dec 017.  ”

9-11  HILARIOUS

How the  bahahahahahaha  plane crashed into the towers !

MICHAEL SCHUMACHER RECOVERY ?

December 30

There’s nothing like an awesome trine from Pluto, Neptune or Uranus to lift one’s spirits.

Like a very attractive, abused young wife who’s under an awesome Pluto-Mars trine in 2016. With Mars being governor of the 7^th House ( marriage, partnerships ) she has suddenly gained  the confidence to tell  “ that arsehole ” that “ I’m outta here.”

Or struggling Cambridge horse trainer Brian Jenkins, unaware of the awesome Neptune-Moon in 1997 that would change his life forever. Same year he wins both the Auckland and Melbourne Cups with Jezabeel and does an “ I’m outta here ” to “ Crimbridge ” and moves to Australia soon after. As a winner of the southern hemisphere's greatest horse race.

So we must consider seriously the future of former motor racing champion Michael Schumacher, who just 2 years ago yesterday  had his life-threatening skiing accident. The Schumacher family and his manager Sabine Kehm have released virtually no details on his condition in the interim.

From the year dot, Schumacher was fated to have both his Sun and Moon trashed by Uranus and Pluto through 2013 and 2014. With the Moon ( Cancer 10.21 ) and Sun ( Capricorn 12.58 ) being harassed by Uranus and Pluto as they moved through similar degrees in Aries and Capricorn respectively.

Noteworthy, too, that the Moon is placed hard on the cusp of  the 3^rd House in Schumacher’s natal chart. Such placement can indicate some kind of fame in 3^rd House matters, like mental interests, short journeys and communicating. A nice fit with driving motor cars, but notable that the affliction coincided with the world champion’s  becoming unable to walk or talk.

So what improvement can we expect when Schumacher’s ultra-sensitive Cancer Moon ( in House 3 of communications ) receives an awesome trine from Neptune ( as did B Jenkins ) through March and September this year ? With the most powerful, final leg in January 2017 ?

Officially Neptune’s in Cancer-friendly Pisces 7 degrees at the moment and moving through to 11 degrees in May before turning around.

Following the amazing Astrological revelations about depression and cancer symptons, we could be on the brink of yet another major medical breakthrough !

 

SONNY BILL AND BRUCE McLAREN ?

December 28

 You wouldn’t normally think that NZ’s greatest modern day sportsman and the greatest of all our motor racing drivers would have a lot in common.

 There was a forerunner to Sonny Bill Williams’ sensational medal  ceremony with the kid who dodged security guards at the Rugby World Cup Grand Final. Right here at Pukekohe racetrack in 1964 after Bruce McLaren become the first local ever to win the New Zealand International Grand Prix.

 In those days it was a major, with the best drivers in the world coming downunder  to combine competition with  a  summer holiday every year. Like Jack Brabham, Stirling Moss, Graham Hill, Jackie Stewart, John Surtees, Jimmy Clark  etc. And special for my father Gordon Murray, who’d began mechanic life with Bruce’s father Les in Remuera before doing an apprenticeship elsewhere. And following the career of young Bruce, who got a major contract with Cooper Climax in Britain, and returned in the early 1960s with a flash Jaguar to show off to  his petrol head mates.

 A trip to Northland, where G H Murray, a car club-hill climb-rally enthusiast in small Ruawai, directed Bruce over to the Aratapu straight near Te  Kopuru and we got up to 80 MILES PER HOUR in the Jag ( the speed limit then was 50 m.p.h ) !                                

 B McLaren’s Pukekohe triumph in 1964 was quite emotional for many, as he toured the track in  a chauffeur-driven limmo. Like the 9 year-old who evaded security and skipped across the front straight just as the limmo was slowing into pit lane, waving his autograph book:

 " Gordon Murray’s son from Ruawai ! " No crash-tackling security guards in those days, just Bruce telling the limmo driver to stop and the AKTV-2  News that evening witnessing the signature…..

 THE  McLAREN LEGACY

 Sadly, Bruce left us at age 32 after crashing one of his own McLaren racecars during testing in 1970.

 According to wiki:

His name lives on in the McLaren team which has been one of the most successful in Formula One championship history, with McLaren cars and drivers winning a total of 20 world championships. McLaren cars totally dominated CanAm sports car racing with 56 wins, a considerable number of them with him behind the wheel, between 1967 and 1972 (and five constructors’ championships), and have won three Indianapolis 500 races, as well as the 24 Hours of Le Mans and 12 Hours of Sebring.

With  great names employed by Bruce McLaren Racing like Fittipaldi, Lauda, Prost, Senna, Hunt, Hakkinen and Hamilton.
