TONGA'S NEW TAUMALOLO
November 5
Only once in my life have I ever wanted a prediction to fail.
On October 30, I predicted a Kiwi win last Saturday, courtesy of Astrological complications for the Tongan coach, adding that I hoped to be wrong.
I was buzzing when Tonga were leading 24-0 after 34 minutes, then back to earth as the Kiwis returned to be level at 24-all. Then Tonga's breakdown service came to the rescue--- Katoa x 3-- Eli, Sione and Ice, who booted the match-winning field goal, and the red and white army went crazy yet again with the 25-24 win.
I'd patched over to Tonga in 2017 and my car was a red and white flag-bearer in their historic win over the Kiwis 7 years ago. A few days later I'd just parked at the Otahuhu pool when a scrawny, hungover-looking palagi walked past and stopped. He looked at me, the flag, the ground, the flag again then produced a statement:
' You bastards'll never beat us again.' He was probably suffering from another hangover last Sunday morning.
CULTURAL DIFFERENCES
The great Tongan revival was inspired by John Hopoate, a former Australian league rep and heavyweight boxing champion, and father of 11 children. Fighting to keep their wonderful culture of family,wisdom and respect alive.
A culture I enjoy comparing with the struggling horse racing industry, where a human's goodness is gauged on the number of group one races they've won. So I posted a video of the Otahuhu Saturday night celebrations on a racing Facebook page. With a suggestion: NZ racing needs to find passionate fans like these people. Much is the siege mentality among racing people, like a 71 year-old who's spent her life struggling for recognition:
I'm sure they know lots about racehorses.
They don't, and that's why they're such happy, uninhibited people who can enjoy the simplicities of life
ummm. You're not up with their culture I don't think. Go check out the Otara Markets.
Do you know any of them personally ? Have you been to a Puaka feast and eaten Feki or Faicacai ? Have you ever sat in the Otahuhu spa pool with rellies of Taumalolo, Fifita, Tupou or Fuifui Moimoi's female cousin who produced 9 children ? Have you got a Tongan lawyer who doesn't charge because ' we're mates ' ?
Questions that remain unanswered.
CHARCOAL TAUMALOLO
2 months ago a homeless black staffy-pitbull cross aged about 4 months, was roaming our precinct and decided to adopt the lovely young Indian couple over the fence as her caregivers. They named her Charcoal. Very popular, except with Daisy the kitten-enforcer at my place, but Charcoal still comes over for a yarn 5-6 times a day. With her even demanding freedom from her caregivers when she hears my door close or car returning, so she can prance over the lawn, through the hole in the fence and trot up my driveway.
Then on Sunday morning I noticed her new RED tracker-collar with WHITE flowers ! Suddenly she became Charcoal Taumalolo, and I told her about adopted cousin Jason, an Otahuhu boy whose life changed dramatically as a 14-year-old during a Townsville tournament. When he became a must-have for the North Queensland Cowboys talent scout, who bought 8 pizzas at the pizza place for Jason and his father before Mr Taumalolo agreed to Jason being signed. 17 years later J Taumalolo is still at the Cowboys, and very notably caused a major amendment to a statement I had made.
Like deciding that Otahuhu Rugby League had no equal for any suburban sporting club in the world, in producing the captain of the national team ! Like 5 for NZ in the last 50 years, namely F R Christian, M Graham, H McGahan, R Barnett and R Wiki. So when Jason Taumalolo captained Tonga in the greatest upset in rugby league history, over Australia 16-12 exactly 5 years ago last Saturday, an amendment had to be made.
Changing ' the national team ' to ' a national team ' means Otahuhu Rugby League's tally is now 6, courtesy of Charcoal's adopted cousin Jason !

THE AMAZING MELBOURNE CUP
November 3
At a very young age I identified Melbourne Cup day as a special one.
In 1962 I felt very happy for the winning owner of Even Stevens, Sir James Wattie. His cannery in Hastings made Watties' spaghetti and sausages, an 8 year-old's favourite meal at the time. My first wager was in 1969, when I drew outsider Allsop in a sweepstake and he finished 2nd.
In 1970 I got specifically kicked out of Latin class at Mt Albert Grammar so I could catch the 2 buses necessary to get home and watch the Cup on television.As a racing journalist in 1976 I got a rare front page story in NZ Herald next day, about the comical, casual nomination of the Cup winner Van Der Hum at the Waikato Racing Club.
THE WORLD RECORD
1977 was my first and only attendance on Cup Day at Flemington, one that I couldn't even try and emulate. One bet on the 11-2 Cup winner Gold'n'Black, and a wonderful day getting drunk with many Kiwi mates from racing journalism that had finished 6 months earlier. Unaware that Melbourne Cup day 40 years later would have a world record for long-range prophecy that may never be beaten:
www.donmurrayastrologer.com, July 4, 2012:
WAYNE HILLIS FOR MELBOURNE CUP DAY, 2017 '
including
' And the final leg in November. Especially 7, the first Tuesday, Melbourne Cup day to racegoers. Don’t matter whether W P Hillis is at Flemington, Hanging Rock or back home somewhere, he will be buzzing.
Hopefully he lines up, to get us a nice win on November 7, 2017. And set a new world record for long-range racetipping. '
On November 7, 2017, trainer W P Hillis had one runner---Watch This Space, who won the open 1600 metres handicap at Ellerslie and paid $9.80 for the win !
There are possibilities of this epic prophecy being beaten. I have already given 7 and 6 years notice respectively for trainers Rochelle Lockett (November 30, 2030 ) and Nick Bishara ( January 1, 2030 ) as winners. Providing they line up on those days.
$55 SHOT FOR BART
1986 had a pinnacle, when I was based in Sydney operating the Astrological tipping service, with trainer J B Cummings the day's label. Just a 4th in the Cup that year for the great man, but his only other runner in the country, Cropley Road, won the next race at Flemington, paying $55 !
For the first Tuesday of 2001, NZ-based iumps jockey Nathan Hanley was labelled for the day in various media outlets way back in January----- if he managed to get a mount in the Cup Day Hurdles over in Melbourne. He did, $15 shot Lesvos Ruler who finished 2nd. A $3.95 place dividend eased the pain.
Times have changed, especially in racing, but I'm still stuck in the Golden 1970s. When I worked at NZTR's predecessor in Wellington, the NZ Herald in Auckland and stables in Otaki and Melbourne. And picked the brains of some master trainers, even working for 2 of the cunningest. Like the Melbourne boss who told us not to back his even-money shot in a Saturday maiden at Moe. " I'll have a better mid-weeker coming up."
Spot on a couple of weeks later with a $7 winner at Sandown. Then he told me about a bookmaker's offer to not win at Moe, when the even-money shot got beaten by a neck on purpose ! A very popular pastime in Australia and I'd been party to plenty of similar case histories from jockeys and trainers during my racing journo days NZ. It's okay when you're inside the tent, but racing was resigned to being just an amazing chapter in life's great comic book until I discovered Astrology in London 43 years ago last month.
The great science can circumvent the corrupt practices. I've had a lot of fun emulating the master plunge setters of the 70s, and without being party to any hook-up jobs.
SLOWING DOWN
Since 2019 began the Don Murray Racing System has only had 23 investments, for 8 winners. 3 of which have paid double figures: $18--$26--$27.40 so there's a very healthy average win dividend of $12.42 on a 34% winning strike rate.
A far cry from the 0900 line's first full season in 1995-96, when we had 143 investments for 53 wins, 9 paying double figures with a $22.30 topper. 5 years later my mortgage took early parole at age 11, and I started focusing more on the personal enlightenments. Like returning home 15 minutes after the annual January hour with Murray Deaker on Newstalk ZB to a dozen messages on the answerphone.
Apart from the Wayne Hillis epic, I've only had one other Melbourne Cup day investment in the last 10 years----- Atacama, a $6 winner in a supporting race at flash Flemington on November 2, 2014. Unfortunately we may have to pass on Tuesday.Our trainer for November 5, 2024 has accepted but is on the ballot list and very unlikely to get a start.
We wait. As the great J Bart Cummings, winner of 12 Melbourne Cups said: ' Patience is cheap, it doesn't cost anything.'

KIWIS WILL BEAT TONGA
October 30
Just over 7 years ago, on October 11, 2017 a brave prediction was made beneath
TONGA BEATS THE KIWIS
For the first time ever on November 11. Simply because of difficult Saturn attacks on the birth planets of Kiwi coach David Kidwell and captain Adam Blair.
And I had been very inspired by Tongan great John Hopoate's idea to unify his small nation and keep their wonderful culture alive. Andrew Fifita patched over from Australia, Otahuhu-born Jason Taumalolo joined him from the NZ team and other Tongans from the NRL followed the Hopoate directive.
Tonga were down 2-14 at half-time on that wonderful evening in Hamilton. Then went crazy in the 2nd half for a 28-22 win with winger David Fusitu'a scoring 3 tries.
I joined an amazing Tongan celebration in Otahuhu, with 2 hours of sunlight after the game finished. Unbelievable gridlock, with normal 5-minute journeys taking 35. The cops were very busy with 53 arrests made in Otahuhu that evening.
Rather miraculously a serious Saturn-Sun setback would also be hindering the Australia coach Mal Meninga within a fortnight of his meeting the Tongans in early November 2019. Which would have much ado with Tonga beating Australia for the first-time ever, 16-12 at Eden Park.With $6 fixed-odds for Head to Head with the NZ TAB !
Predicted here, with the irony that both Meninga and Tonga's coach Kristian Woolf were Cancer Sun sign possessors, so the corrupt media system would have them reading the same paragraph that morning.
Come Friday, 18 October, 2024 there was a Tonga-Australia test in Brisbane. My research found no Saturn sinstery for Meninga and no reason for him to get beaten. Sadly there was a difficult Saturn-sesquiquaderate hampering Mr Woolf that evening, so the 18-0 loss harmonised with his expected disappointment.
Next Saturday evening Tonga are playing the Kiwis at Mt Smart, practically their home ground. Astrology has a very rare and unwanted phenomenon that evening. Saturn is making another difficult sesquiquaderate to hamper Woolfie's happiness. While Kiwi coach Stacey Jones is being assisted by an awesome Neptune trine.
I'd love to be wrong and see a repeat of this magic

THE ASTROLOGY OF ABUSE
October 28
For nearly a decade, a South Auckland home for at-risk boys – operating for a time out of a remote former psychiatric hospital building – was the site of disturbing physical and sexual abuse, jurors were told today as the trial began for three former staff members.
On one of the alleged occasions, a boy who was about 14 years old refused to engage in sexual activity with a female staff member who had used threats of violence to coerce sexual abuse in the past, Crown prosecutor Charlie Piho said during his opening address in the Manukau District Court. The boy said he was held down and urinated on by the woman in retaliation for his refusal, the lawyer alleged.
The complainants – between the ages of 6 and 17 while residents at the home – also described to authorities being tied to a fence post or stairs and left for hours, frequent beatings, being forced to fight other youth residents, being ordered to disrobe as a form of punishment and other sexual abuse. One person said his eyebrows were shaved.
With the recent revelations about 200,000 victims from the Royal Commission into Abuse in Care. And the news of
Private boarding school Dilworth’s bill for historic abuse climbs to $55m
There shall be no end to the problems, because of powerful Pluto, erratic Uranus and energetic Mars etc's need for a home. There are 12 Houses in the natal chart and long ago the 12th of them was identified as the domain for mental illness issues. Planets in 12th House are aligned with secrecy, repression, institutions, behind-the-scenes activity, crime, horses and other large animals.
PRIEST OR UNCLE ?
Mars in a human's 12th House is the classic for depression, possessed by notable NZ-born abusees like Charlotte Dawson, Dame Kiri Te Kanawa and Jayjay Feeney etc. And a Maori client some 25 years back, brought to me by her partner, a career cannabis creator and successful investor with my horse racing system.
Her character analysis confirmed the early childhood abuse, courtesy of the Sun and Mars secreted in House 12 beneath a mysterious Scorpion Ascendant. The past analysis suggested a phase of violence, frustration or trauma at age 6.
' Was that the priest or the uncle, Bub ? ' her partner asked.
' The uncle,' she replied. ' The priest was when I was 10.'
With another serious Pluto phase for that age as well.
Courtesy of the residential requirements, approximately one in every 12 humans shall have Mars in the 12th. Just as a similar 8% shall have another black dog classic, the Scorpio Moon. An integral part of the healing process are the discoveries, why people think and act differently to the norm, and that no-one is really to blame for the past misdemeanours
Ideally there would be a central database with every birth time registered. Within 10 minutes each arrival would be analysed and their 12th House complications, Uranus afflictions and Scorpio Moons etc noted. And the progress of these future victims could be monitored and the necessary assistance given.
There would be ' early detection ' of cancer and other serious health issues involving House 6. Along with early detection of the criminally inclined, so a register of potential pedophiles would be developed.
In lieu the system wastes zillions on ' counsellors ' and NZ's horrific youth statistics prove it's not working. We know all about the amazing crime rate and high school truancy. The latest youth justice statistics show a 26 per cent spike last year in the number of serious young offenders who continue to offend. Latest stats show 877 young people aged between 14 and 17 identified as “serious and persistent” offenders, the highest number since 2016/17 and well above the last year (694 such offenders).
Nothing will stop the creation of these people as long as the Sun continues to shine and Pluto and his mates are zooming around the zodiac. Just like nothing will stop the many-headed monster of Mike King's pit squandering money on Gumboot Friday's ' counsellors ' for the 5th consecutive year.
THE APPRECIATION
Apparently each young Gumbooter is entitled to 2 free counselling sessions, valued around $130 each. W T F ? Onto it people get the complete Astrological character and past analyses, and 3 years into the future, for between $50 and $90. Enthusiastic youngsters can get the package for an edible donation.
There is so much positive feedback from the Astrological, which often appears on this site. Very noteworthy was Bub the abuse victim, who rang me a couple of years after her enlightenment. Life was pretty good and she was making one of her rare visits to Auckland from the Far North tomorrow.
Just checking I was at the same address because ' Henry's got a present he wants me to give you.' The ounce of Henry's primo product was greatly appreciated.

TORY WHANAU AND ' SUPERVISION '
October 26
Embattled Wellington Mayor Tory Whanau admits her council “must do better” after the Government moved to appoint a Crown observer at Wellington City Council.
Local Government Minister Simeon Brown made the announcement today following the council’s decision to reopen its Long-Term Plan.
Brown said the Government had written to Wellington City Council with a draft terms of reference and has given the council 10 working days to respond, as required under the law.
New Zealand is renowned for not taking Astrological advice and have suffered accordingly in the Covid era and latest recession. They may be finally waking up with recent developments. Back on June 12, beneath TORY WHANAU'S UPCOMING STUPIDITY we previewed her debut appearance for the November 2024 Annual Prophecies !
' Whanau,Tory:
Legendary pisshead more stupid and confused than ever from Neptune and Saturn squashing her Sun. Also Pluto attacking her Venus, so needs supervision in Jan, March, May, Aug, Oct, Nov and Jan+Feb of 026. '
Obviously this need for ' supervision ' is the reason for the ' Crown observer ' being appointed !
.
.
GOLRIZ AND CRIME ASTROLOGY
October 24
Goli the former poli and shoplifting sensation had a bad smell about her from day one.
I approached her at a pre-election rally in 2017 with my normal introduction and got ' I don't believe in Astrology ' which got: Do you know anything about it ?
' It doesn't matter ' was the reply but she did divulge a requested date of birth. Which would entitle her to a sensational debut in the November 2018 Annual Prophecies here !
' Ghahraman, Golriz:
Massive and difficult changes for Greens MP with Pluto-Node complications until late 020 and Uranus attacking her Mercury, Venus and Jupiter. May and Nov 2019 crucial too.'
In February 2020, NZ's first Iranian-born MP revealed that she'd been living with Multiple Sclerosis for the past 18 months ! There was no further Astrological work on Golriz, who was a sensation last summer when she pleaded guilty to stealing 4 items of clothing worth nearly $9000. Last week Ms Ghahraman failed in her 2nd attempt to have the convictions quashed.
During the shoplifting spree ' Goli the poli ' was suffering a Neptune v Venus phase, a time of confusion and contemplation about making life changes, and being single at age 42. Further investigation gained her entry in the club containing so many legendary criminals, with seriously afflicted Mercury positions at birth.
Many fraudsters therein, with iconic foreigners Hillary Clinton, Bernie Madoff, Klaus Schwab, El Chapo Guzman, Imran Khan, Jeffrey Epstein, Donald Trump, chairman Mao's wife, Michael Jackson, Kim Dotcom and Rocky Elsom in the club. Add NZ's own Leicester Monk, Eric Watson, Mika Haka and Cameron Slater. Serious Mercury afflictions are also common in the charts of crooked racing identities, who dope horses and do ticket-clipping swindles.
Plenty of bent cops too with serious Mercury afflictions, including the late detective inspector Bruce Hutton. Decided by a Royal Commission to have planted the controversial cartridge case that caused Arthur Allan Thomas to be wrongly imprisoned for 9 years over the 1970 Crewe murder.
These difficult aspects define fearful experiences in the first couple of years of life. When innocent toddlers have changes of residence or feel domestic tension from parents or siblings, and become suspicious of an untrusting world. Like Ms Ghahraman's childhood in war-torn Iran, or my telling a very attractive Fijian-born Indian about Astrologically-defined dramas in her first 12 months.
Her father had shunned an arranged marriage and chose a polynesian wife. His mother was embittered by the cultural catastrophe, eventually cracked and attempted to throw the first-born from the top of a building when she was 7 months old ! The baby was saved but the fearful experience had much ado with her 3 broken engagements and a wine problem at age 28.
Nothing will stop the creation of these people as long as the Sun continues to shine and Pluto and his mates are zooming around the zodiac. There will always be criminals, drunks and drug addicts.

URANUS v ROCKY ELSOM + JAMIE RICHARDS
October 22
You wouldn't normally have disgraced rugby player Rocky Elsom, former wonder boy horse trainer Jamie Richards and dumped football coach Jitka Klimkova in the same basket. But all 3 have been among the notable victims of Uranus-Sun attacks in 2024.
Nobody is spared the wrath of the orbiters above. King Charles was a Uranus-Sun victim last year, with Meghan Markle. Kane Williamson and Brad Fittler copping it in 2022. Team NZ boss Grant Dalton was another sufferer during his boat's iconic choke in the 2013 America's Cup, as was rugby coaching great Sir Graham Henry during the All Blacks' annus horribilis of 2007.
Last November we predicted Uranus-Sun reversals for all with birthdays from February 12-16, May 14-18, August 16-20 and November 15-19. February 14 arrival Elsom, an ex-Wallabies captain, has just been sentenced to 5 years jail in France for fraud. Klimkova is an August 20 celebrant, 2 days after NZ-born Jamie Richards, who's really come back to earth since shifting to Hong Kong.
1989-born J Richards was the golden boy and premier trainer in NZ, with 160 wins from 790 runners in 20-21 and 117 wins from 629 next season. Plenty of group one wins and successes in Australia before a bitter split with his Te Akau bosses and the move to Hong Kong in 2022. Where the J Richards' stable has just 1 win from 56 starters in the current season !
Hardly a surprise after his appearance last November:
Richards, Jamie:
Major reversals for leading trainer with Uranus attacks on the Sun and Node. June, July, Nov crucial with other upheavals around April, July.
Unlike most of NZ's weird systems, the Astrological machine will always be working, with another bunch of birthdays in the Uranus v Sun programme for 2025. With those born on February 16-18, May 18-20, August 20-22 and November 19-21 having their reversals next year.
Which includes rugby personnel Scott Barrett and Scott Robertson, disqualified jockey Matt Cameron and NRL names Andrew Johns and Des Hasler. Also oddballs like Prince Andrew and NZ's Martin Devlin and Millie Holmes.
Sad cultures blatantly ignore the Astrological advantage, and squander zillions on ' counsellors.' But it's gotta be a big plus knowing when the tide shall turn. When the bad shit's gonna end and there's no need to contemplate the noose or the razor blades.

‘ WHEN THE ARGUMENT IS LOST ’
October 21
Astrology is so amazingly accurate which is the problem.
It's impossible to argue with, and that's why the greatest of sciences is totally shunned by the media. Because an angry nation is a good nation in New World Order speak.
Angry people don't think rationally and they make bad decisions. They are less likely to gain the psychic powers that animals in particular possess. Humans that attack awesome Astrology get asked simply if they can read English, then are directed to ' a few world records ' at http://www.donmurrayastrologer.com/predictions.html !
So many are unable to distance themselves from negative influences in order to minimise idiot contact, or separate fact from fucktion. But only a seriously sick person would not be moved by the long-range horse racing certainties or the national disaster warnings. Like the 2017 Melbourne Cup day winner that was labelled 5 years, 4 months and 3 days in advance, or the NZ catastrophe of October 2007 predicted 4 years earlier !
The great Greek philosopher Plato claimed that he who speaks the truth is the most hated. And that when the argument is lost, the personal attacks begin.
As we near the 8th anniversary of the Leighton Smith epic. When the veteran Newstalk ZB knowall's ego had been shattered by Donald Trump's shock election win, and my accurate prediction. And he launched a personal attack on the airwaves: Smith reckoned he'd received a letter from a listener who claimed that none of my predictions with Murray Deaker had ever come true !
For 18 years from 1994, Deaker had hosted an Astrological hour every January and raved about the accuracy of the great predictions. Donating ' Nobody gets the talkback lines ringing like Don Murray, his New Year predictions have become legendary ' when I requested a recommendation. Leighton Smith had actually used me a few times in the late 1990s, and even phoned the mother of Sydney racing great Gai Waterhouse for a birth time on my suggestion, while a nation of listeners waited !
There was some knife-sharpening, too, by journo lifer Jane Phare, now with nearly 45 years of Herald employment in her CV. Phare had been very pissed off by a reminder of my advice to her many years back, like warning of a ' major upheaval in 2 or 3 years time.' Which happened to coincide with her much-publicised bout of breast cancer !
Phare struck back with ' You didn't predict the birth of my son ! ' I didn't, but it was not possible for at the time I didn't even know her birthdate. And an arrival time would have been necessary to make such a prophecy.
Absolutely no interest in the 20-minutes Astrological enlightenment which would lead to evidence that most personal disasters are very predictable. So I recently googled Phare to find out what subjects took preference over early detection of breast cancer and other illnesses:
A beautiful obsession: Why we copy celebrities, royalty and influencers-like-kate-middleton-and-victoria-beckham By Jane Phare
and
Jane Phare delves into the multimillion-dollar adult toy industry: what's popular, and which New Zealand towns buy the most per capita.
Unfortunately there are too many like Smith and Phare who go through life like the proverbial trotting horse wearing blinkers. While the prediction machine keeps producing, with 36-2 the score in Astrology v Establishment of 2024. Nobody can argue with the major reversals this year for horse racing personnel Mike Moroney, Opie Bosson, Lisa Allpress, Kieran McEvoy, Sir Mark Todd, Steven Pateman or Jamie Richards.
Or the great prophecies on rugby league's Latrell Mitchell, Shaun Johnson, Tohu Harris and Wayne Bennett. Without forgetting the major setbacks for Celine Dion, Jayjay Feeney, Eric Watson, Marama Davidson and Tana Umaga etc. I like to focus on major upheavals and reversals so the great unwashed may realise the futility of pointless argument..
There are the invincibles, too. Like the Indian cricket team, courtesy of the awesome times forecast last November for Virat Kohli and Rahul Dravid. With 30 wins and 4 losses this year, Kohli and co are close to the excellence of the Astrological machine !

CRAIG GRYLLS IS BLESSED
October 19
In the early days of the Auckland Warriors I had media privileges, courtesy of writing a weekly column in Truth on Astrological influences affecting sportspersons.
Relations were then very hostile between the media and the team, with sensationalists always looking for shit on league in a rugby nation. I was treated differently by the players and staff, being just there to gain birth information and talk racing with the team's punters.
One visitor I especially sought out for birth information was Rod ' Rocket ' Reddy, when he coached the short-lived Adelaide Rams in 1997. Player Rocket had been the most renowned prankster on Kangaroo tours. What sort of planets could create the creator of this epic from the 1982 Invincibles tour of Britain ?
MOVIE PRODUCER
Often when based in an English hotel for several weeks, players would chip in and purchase a cheap car to get around in. Rocket told a prospective English vehicle vendor he was an Australian movie producer named John Ribot, making a film on the life of a serial killer known as The Yorkshire Ripper--- Peter Sutcliffe, who brutally murdered 13 women across the north of England over the course of 5 years in the 1970s.
Sutcliffe was still at large. John Ribot was a teammate, brilliant winger and later high-profile CEO, but a very serious fellow with no sense of humour. Their hotel's phone number was given. Rocket and his mates returned to find the police swarming their hotel, being naturally keen to speak with this Ribot !
When Rocket donated ' 1 March 1954 ' I couldn't stop the laughter. A Pisces in the Horse Year ?--- freedom-loving, a fun freak, adventurous, not good at being tied down. Rocket confirmed the prognosis with a big grin. Then the nearby Adelaide Rams CEO, Liz Dawson, said she was also a Pisces and on the other side of me, high-ranking league official and lawyer Gerald Ryan added that he was Pisces as well.
BORN TO SUCCEED
Gerald Ryan's March 11, 1931 donation brought You were born on the same day as Rupert Murdoch and Colin Jillings the great horse trainer ! Gerald had great admiration for Jillo, and added that his and Murdoch's fathers had actually fought together in World War 1. And mentioned his twin brother, Kevin Ryan, who'd been one of the country's leading criminal lawyers.
I was an admirer of the great C M Jillings from 1973 days as a cadet racing journalist. Our friendship continued when I became an Astrologer. Like many successful people, Jillo was fascinated with the great science that could explain the normally unexplainable. I visited him many times during his final year of life ( 2022 ) in an Ellerslie rest home, and explained my theories that our lives are predetermined.
Because all March 11, 1931-borns were blessed with their 18-19 degrees Pisces Suns and Mercury positions in near perfect trine to powerful Pluto at Cancer 18. Aspects that guarantee general success in life, making the right decisions and being in the right place at the right time.
So many born in the world under the awesome Pluto-Sun trine, very notably the Queensland and Melbourne Storm greats Billy Slater and Cameron Smith, who were born an hour apart on June 18, 1983.Others with same positive aspect include golfing champ Nelly Korda, the unbeaten Australian racehorse Black Caviar and leading jockey NZ Craig Grylls etc
THE INHERITANCE
Craig Grylls' March 8, 1990 arrival means he's also a fun-loving, prankster Pisces Horse like Rocket Reddy. No surprise that Gryllsie's got a passion for flying aeroplanes after gaining his pilot's licence at age 16. And shall be guaranteed a productive and fortunate life from the Pluto-Sun power, like media mogul Murdoch, Jillo, and the Ryan twins etc.
C Grylls' ability to fly an aeroplane might also have something to do with inherited concentration. His grandfather John F Grylls was a fine jockey with more than 700 winners and a very popular, laid back dude with a dry wit.
And a rarity when driving a car. With a beer in one hand while rolling a cigarette with the other, that ' scared the shit out of us ' according to some of his jockey mates.

PUTTING THE BOOT INTO ' GUMBOOT '
October 17
Laughter is an awesome form of medicine. And the mental unhealthiness of NZ sure provides plenty of amusement.
With another burst after a client directed me to this !
According to a landmark condemnation from the Auditor-General this week, the politicians need to follow the rules. The watchdog published a damning letter on Wednesday that he had sent to the Ministry of Health, chiding them for letting the Minister for Mental Health, Matt Doocey, hand out $24 million to a charity closely connected with various political parties – Mike King’s Gumboot Fridays.
Back on June 10 we reproduced the figures that showed only 51% of the Gumboot mob's take was actually going to their counsellors !
Failed comedian King and his partner in Kirwanking Ltd have been peddling their mental health rubbish for most of the 21st century. Lest we not forget that they are an important part of the New World Order's mission to wreck families, with counsellors just another nudge towards oblivion for mother and father.
That's why members of the Golden Generation shudder at the thoughts of being a teenager today. ' No, any one under 50 ' reckons the head larrikin of Mt Albert Grammar School House in 1967. Now I've never known this nation to be so angry. So many shootings, with an unprecedented number of teenagers involved. Obviously the Gumboot goons are a failure.
I missed the great battles of 1981, when I was a bartender in the Scottish Highlands. But I was often alerted to clips on the 6 pm news from ' doon under, mon ' of the Springboks tour clashes. With that NZ civil war only being temporary, for 2 months until the South Africans went home.
The current unrest is totally different. It's all about poverty and repression, and desperation. From generations of media brainwashing, television, tablets and the new age influencers adopted by idiot parents.
As we know you can't help stupid when he doesn't want to be helped. Like way back in December 2013, I wondered if Mike King 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, Mikey got extremely vicious: " What a dickhead thing to say Don. You don't know me mate, what makes u think I'm depressed? "
Absolutely no excuses for one so seemingly concerned about mental health, to be unable to spare just 20 minutes for the highly recommended character and past analysis ? That thousands of people have experienced. And raved about.
And no excuses either for a nation that squanders money on King's cowardice and cringes away from this magnificence !
http://www.donmurrayastrologer.com/predictions.html
Which include probably the biggest upsets ever in international rugby league and rugby, courtesy of the epics involving Konrad Hurrell and Sir Graham Henry.
It's obvious why angry, ignorant New Zealand has such a bad credit rating with the Gods of Karma. With a further downgrade coming during the predicted ripper recession between February 025 and November 026.

THE SHEIKH NEEDS A TWEAK
October 15
Every spring there's a big ' Nup to the Cup ' protest from Australia.
As in animal rights activists getting stuck into the Melbourne Cup and its alleged cruelties. How about a fresh campaign against the biggest racing owner in the World, a cruel bastard who's officially on record as a kidnapper of his own children ?
That's Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, whose Godolphin racing empire has amassed 8842 wins worldwide since 1992. He won the 2018 Melbourne Cup with Cross Counter from English-based trainer Charlie Appleby's yard.Godolphin has a large Australian team trained by James Cummings in Sydney.
Hark back to December 2021 when Sheikh Moh had to settle with his ex-wife Princess Haya:
' A British court has ordered the ruler of Dubai to pay his ex-wife and their children close to 550 million pounds ($730 million), in one of the most expensive divorce settlements in British history.
As part of the ensuing custody case, Sir Andrew McFarlane, President of the Family Court division in England and Wales, made a series of "findings of fact" about allegations raised by the princess during hearings over the last nine months.
Sir Andrew said he accepted her claim that Sheikh Mohammed arranged for his daughter Shamsa, then aged 18, to be kidnapped off the streets of Cambridge in central England in 2000 and had her flown back to Dubai.
He also ruled it was proved that the Sheikh had arranged for Shamsa's younger sister Latifa to be snatched from a boat in international waters off India by Indian forces in 2018 and returned to the emirate in what was her second failed escape attempt.
Both remained there "deprived of their liberty", Sir Andrew said.'
It's been previously noted how British detectives were denied permission to travel to the Sheikh's country to gather information on the broad-daylight kidnapping of Shamsa in Cambridge. Noting of course that then Queen Elizabeth was a racing fanatic and acquaintance of Sheikh Moh. And would have the final say on detectives' travel.
In fact we joked here several years back about conversation between the pair at Royal Ascot. Sheikh Moh teasing Queen Liz about not winning the Broodmare of the Year award, courtesy of Prince Andrew's recent form ! With Queen Liz spitting back and producing a cutting of the court's findings over the kidnappings. With the Sheikh quick to explain the need to keep such expensive, richly-bred fillies protected, in a world with colts like Liz's own randy Andy roaming around !
And horse tragics worship a dirty old bastard like that ? Somebody really needs to tweak the Sheikh.

THE MAGNIFICENCE OF MATE MA'A TONGA
October 13
Another chapter in the cultural success story of the 21st century is beginning.
On Friday, October 5, 2007, I was driving from Otahuhu to Mangere and noted that the journey was full of lunatics. Mad persons waving red and white flags with many attached to their large wagons. Eventually I discovered the reasons for this lunacy.
They were Tongans, simply celebrating their rugby team playing England in a RWC quarter-final tomorrow. A strange thing to celebrate, to Americanised New Zealanders. But the Tongans are just happy to be there, and the result is never as important as their reunions and the big feed of Puaka afterwards.
A bit over 10 years later I was amidst those lunatics in the red and white army. Living in Otahuhu since 1990 has introduced me to some very fine Polynesian people. I had learned the basics of Samoan and Tongan languages when operating a home delivery shellfish business in nearby Otara for 6 years in the 1990s. To the Fonuas, Mahes and Katoas I was a ' Siana Masalo, Paaka, Tukumisi, ' who delivered fresh mussels, crabs and kina.
As a rugby league fan I was very impressed in 2017 when Tongan great John Hopoate called for his tokos to turn their backs on Australia and NZ, and play for their homeland. Hoppa wanted to keep his proud culture alive, to ward off the evil influences of the American-inspired palagi media scum and their role models.The Fifitas, Taumalolos and Tupous etc responded to Hoppa's call. On November 11, 2017 Tonga beat NZ for the first time, and 2 years later Mate Ma'a Tonga claimed the first-ever scalps of Great Britain and Australia on consecutive weekends.
I'm anti-palagi establishment and prefer the traditional cultures still alive in my region.My vehicle joined the November 2017 victory celebrations with a red and white flag, for 2 hours of uncontrollable laughter in heavily-gridlocked Otahuhu. Tongans all over the world copied that and eventually the Samoans followed suit in flocking to represent their heritage. Toa Samoa beat England at the 2022 Rugby League World Cup and got to the Grand Final against Australia. When I had a Samoan flag as well.
The red and white army are returning. Tonga's playing Australia in Brisbane next Friday, then NZ on home turf at Mt Smart on November 2. Auckland's gonna be gridlocked again and it's gonna be fun.
INVENTING A TONGAN JOKE
Lesley Vainikolo is a very talented and humorous Tongan I have met several times. A rarity who's represented 3 nations in 3 different sports---rugby league for NZ, rugby for England and rugby sevens for Tonga. His late father was possibly the first man to hear a Tongan joke invented by a palagi.
One day at the Onehunga swimming pool I asked my good mate Salome Vainikolo what was the Tongan's favourite insurance company ? He had no idea, then roared with laughter at F A I Which is the Tongan word for ' making love.'
Then I told him how F A I were the Manly Sea Eagles' sponsor, when the great John Hopoate was playing. And running around with ' FAI ' on his back ! Hoppa became a father at age 18 and he and his wife now have 11 children.
Both Tonga's sensational upsets of NZ and Australia were Astrologically predicted. Slow planets at present have no indications for any of the teams, so I'm just gonna cheer for the red and whites as usual. And joke about their breakdown service, with Katoa x 3---- Isaiya, Eliesa and Sione---- in the Tongan team.

' BRAIN DEAD OPIE '
October 11
Back on September 25 we broke the news of the rift in the high-profile Bosson marriage, and the Astrological reasons. With the stunning prophecy from November last year
' Bosson, Opie:
Many reversals for champion jockey with Pluto attacking his Sun in Feb, July, Dec. Saturn restrictions in March, Nov. '
supplemented with ' Closer inspection also indicates progressed Mercury flopping onto serious Saturn in October. ' Brain dead and burned out ' instantly spring to mind. Plus the Saturn restrictions of Nov include 2 attacks on O P Bosson's Moon, spotlighting home and family matters ! '
Quite notable that Opie copped a 9 national riding days suspension on October 3, for a fortnight from October 14 ! Yet another stunning prophecy from the only system getting anything right at the moment, but a minor problem compared to others in the Bosson world.
We've often mocked the pathetic sycophants of the racing media ignoring the playboy qualities of O P Bosson, and of course the sensational marriage bust-up. Mother-of-2 Emily Murphy has been promoted as some kind of super woman because she's a regular television babbler.
Fans love personal info on their idols, be it Taylor Swift or the latest NRL star getting busted for Cocaine. And the Australian media didn't hold back when 2 of Queensland's greatest products, Wayne Bennett and Wally Lewis left their wives for younger versions.
But not in dull, rotting NZ racing. Except for a story some 10 years ago on the NZ Herald racing page of a knighted trainer leaving his wife, for a stablegirl 24 years his junior ! It was actually Sir Henry Cecil of England, and a story off the wire from abroad that the sports sub-editor thought was interesting enough.
RACING ROYALTY ?
But it don't even make the NZ media when O P Bosson ONZM leaves the wife for one 23 years his junior ?
Back in July Waikato studmaster Mark Chittick started a promotion to raise money for a horse ambulance. Some lucky bidder on Gavelhouse could experience ' the renowned warmth and hospitality of the Chittick family ' and enjoy a long lunch with ' Em and Opie, Racing Royalty.'
Royalty ? But it does make sense when you consider the current English mob and the battling broes of Buckingham Palace. The legendary infidel King Charles, with wife Di and Camilla his secret root; then the boot for Princess Anne's first husband, after the world learned of his 1985-born NZ love child;Prince Andrew the legendary pedophile needs no introduction, and even Harry bucked the trend when he married a half-breed, divorcee from the USA !
And some bidder won lunch with NZ's ' Racing Royalty ' for $1600 !

ARL FRAUD INVESTIGATIONS
October 9
Last year we broke the news of Cameron George disease spreading into the Auckland Rugby League.
As per the NZ Warriors CEO's penchant for failure seeping into the ARL headquarters close by in Beasley Ave, Mt Smart. Mainly hopelessness in website matters and you just couldn't believe this was the shop window of a once great community that could produce Auckland teams which regularly beat Australia and Great Britain.
Even now there is still no result posted for the Premier Grand Final between the Bulldogs and Sea Eagles of August 17 ! This disease was obviously becoming quite serious. Then the sensational news broke last week, and a disease much stronger than hopelessness:
Up to $7.2 million of spending is in the spotlight at Auckland Rugby League as an investigation at the sporting body turned up allegations of conflicts of interest and poor financial management at a board level as well as accusations of fraud against one employee.
One police inquiry is already underway into a former Auckland Rugby League (ARL) employee and further legal action is being considered by the sporting organisation.
ARL, which is in charge of amateur league clubs across the city, commissioned a year-long investigation from financial services giant PwC which uncovered alleged conflicts of interest, poor decision-making, and one instance of fraud. ARL says the inquiry painted a picture of an organisation with a 20-year history of slipshod management and governance.
The NZ Warriors' best-ever coach, John Ackland had a short time as the ARL's C E O. The man who guided the Junior Warriors to consecutive Grand Final wins eventually got sick of owner Eric Watson's crap and took a job down the road. Where he started questioning the Cameron McGregor regime, but didn't last long.
The Acks had some choice expletives for the ARL during our 2017-18 conversations when he was coaching Otahuhu. He wouldn't have shed any tears over Cameron McGregor being stripped of his ARL life membership last week either.

THE BRUCE SHARROCK WARNING
October 7
We've often marvelled at the stupidity of NZTR having a 1966 Cancer Firehorse as the C E O.
As per ' loose Bruce ' Sharrock, who got the bullet last week after 2.5 years in the job.
All 1966 Firehorses are risky investments, especially one sharing the Cancer month with Mike Tyson and disgraced Melbourne horse trainer Tommy Hughes jun ! 58 year-old Sharrock's regular absence from the major race meetings has been noted. As well as his showing no kind of leadership in NZ racing's many current crises.
Horses of any year love galloping around and having fun, and responsibility isn't their long suit. Auckland-based Sharrock also operates a sports management business. And has become very involved with a 44 year-old jockey-solo mother in Christchurch, Kylie Williams. About which he opened up to his NZTR board members in respect of conflicting interests, and got their approval.
But not TAB owner Entain's. They're not impressed with the absolute shambles that NZ racing is in at present. Betting turnovers are struggling to keep up, so a change of coach was needed for the gambling world's underperforming NZ Warriors equivalent. Sharrock officially resigned, but he was pushed.
Maybe Entain noted the warning here on May 24, with the preview of an appearance in next month's Annual Prophecies ?
' Sharrock, Bruce:
Racing administrator in need of supervision and monitoring with Uranus-Moon and Pluto-Mercury catastrophes. March, June, July, Dec and Jan 026 notable, with a major separate upset around April 025. '
The sort of guy All Blacks fans would love to see coaching the Springboks next year.

TRACKSIDERS GETTING SLASHED
October 5
Abandoned race meetings were rare in the NZ's Golden 1970s.
During my 3 years and 10 months as a Herald journo, only 2 meetings were called off in the Auckland and Waikato. There's already been 7 this year in those northern regions !
And 17 call-offs in the whole country for 2024, with a very alarming statistic: 11 of the 17 national call-offs have come after a race or more has been run. Group One day at Hastings last Saturday hoisted the white flag after just one race, the Hawkes Bay club's 4th abandonment this year !
There's been plenty of racecourse carnage in the last couple of years, with serious track problems as well at New Plymouth, Te Aroha, Awapuni, Trentham, Riccarton, Rotorua and Ellerslie. Add the recent research that's revealed the harm that synthetic tracks cause to horses.
The industry's culture has deteriorated horrifically, with our recent revelations about the drug rapists, the public bar urinator, the limmo chunderer and the Cherrie popper. Add Matty Cameron's Cocaine drama, the Kurtis Pertab cruelties and the escapades of Opie Cock-for-Brains Bosson and it's not a very attractive place.
2-3 years back betting turnovers in NZ racing had plummeted so badly that its leaders had to borrow from reserves to prop up the stake moneys ! Which are dependent on losing gamblers. There was an opportunity for a sugar daddy and foreign gambling giant Entain got the gig in June 2023.
Entain would provide life support for NZ racing for 5 years, then cut the tubes and go 50-50 in profits. With a moratorium on redundancies for 2 years, so the slashing's gonna begin in Autumn next year. The greedy foreign giant will have no place for fluffy local wafflers and their pathetic interviews. And it's not as if the Trackside presenters are driving betting turnover and providing value for the money wasted on them.
Very notably, Trackside's superstar Mick Guerin shall have a major Pluto v Jupiter career amendment next year. Same aspect has brought similar amendments to many in 2024, notably dumped television worker Patrick Gower and disqualified horse trainer Darren Weir. Autumn next year has Uranus chaos for Jayne Ivil, with major upheaval around June. Brendon Popplewell and Bevan Sweeney have similar Uranian chaos, with Sweeney some separate and massive life restructuring from Pluto squashing his Venus in 025-026.
Behind-the-scenes worker and Guerin's former partner Sharne Connolly shall be experiencing the Uranian chaos of 2025 as well. There are Karmic considerations too, because these Trackside presenters are the retards that still tell lies about ' no certainties ' --- a fallacy that's been trashed often since the inaugural unbeatable in Friday Flash 34 years ago last July !
As noted before, the nation shall be in chaos and major recession for much of 025 and 026, with Pluto squashing NZ's Mercury position. As we know too, Pluto and Uranus treat everyone as individuals. No matter whether it's a slump or a jump, there will always be recipients of the Zodiac's positivity.
Onto it people plan ahead and prepare, for a Rap Year, a Crap Year or a Gap Year.

7 SPACE WASTERS
October 3
Every morning I gaze at the NZ Herald online and wonder.
Could this have been me ? Until 47.5 years ago I was planning to be a Herald lifer, and, after a certain length of time, an ' expert.'
There's very little news now, it's more a propaganda machine full of opinion from ' experts.' . A minute max is all the dirty old hag is worth, but every couple of years they try and tempt you with a fortnight's free paper subscription. Mine coincided with the aftermath of yet another NZ disaster--the All Blacks losing 2 consecutive tests to the Springboks !
And the experts emerged. From the All Blacks-related headlines, I counted 7 experts who had opinions and solutions. Names like Paul, Rattue, Purcell, Napier, Gifford, Powell and Lewis. No need to read.
Merely slaves in the New World Order's plan to divide and distract, and wreck families, with Oscar Wilde's ' football, beer and gambling to fill the horizon of their minds. ' The masses must be angry and arguing over trivia. Whereas the Astrological had it all sorted with a couple of sentences on August 24 !
' Saturn is attacking Scott Robertson's Node, Mars and Jupiter positions during the first 3 weeks of September ! Definitely not a good omen for his upcoming visit to South Africa.'
' This ' celebrated its 30th anniversary recently. Remembering when Murray Deaker and the Newstalk ZB nation were warned about Pluto attacking the Sun of All Blacks coach Laurie Mains in 1994. Next day the All Blacks lost at home to France, with an unprecedented, despised double after the 2nd test !
Eventually the media would tire of this celestial terrorism. Idiots like the non-magnificent 7 above, and even Deaker, used to get very pissed off at their thunder being stolen. Their employers sympathised. Having some bastard putting curses on the All Blacks or Team NZ might get the great unwashed thinking.
No Astrology. Let the many-headed monster of the pit stay dumb, and do not change the Keen Interest Without Intelligence culture !
“The deep critical thinker has become the misfit of the world, this is not a coincidence. To maintain order and control you must isolate the intellectual, the sage, the philosopher, the savant before their ideas awaken people.”

JOCKEY LIES AND ALIBIS
October 1
In my varied racing experiences, jumps jockeys have been the cream of the people. They have to be brave and slightly mad for the sacrifices they make for such danger. They have plenty of ups and downs and time out, and usually a variety of occupations later on. With so much danger involved, injuries and addictions are aplenty and they are easily likened to war veterans. But they're brilliant party animals.
As jumps racing in NZ heads for the guillotine, an amazing breed of human will be lost. Down on September 21, I remembered some of the great party animals amongst the jumps riders. None of those mentioned feature here:
' Twas a gloomy July Saturday afternoon in the Waikato. Sharing a few bongs with an injured jockey mate when he received a call.
A fellow jumps rider, who was on the piss all night, and woke up 20 minutes after his mount for the steeplechase, 70 km away, had been successful ! So it was only natural for us to go round and cheer him up with a few bongs. In my journalism days, this would have been a major story, the meant-to-be-winning rider going AWOL. In the previous decade or 2 the standards of racing journalism had deteriorated terribly. Maybe only the Sunday Star-Times editor Barry Lichter of the current mob had the investigative nose.
So I suggested that the unpopular jumps rider prepare an alibi, just in case Lichter did ring. No mention of the night on the piss, turning up at the track to ride a couple, then going home and falling asleep. Instead, he rode a couple of horses in trackwork, getting hit in the eye by a clod of dirt, which necessitated a pain reliever, ' Say a Dialgesic tablet ' suggested the other jockey. And that tablet sent him to sleep ? Perfect.
We celebrated with another bong. Rather amazingly about 10 minutes later the phone rang and it was answered by the media liaison officer : Oh, hello Barry, hang on, he's right here. Then, hand over mouthpiece, It's bloody Lichter ! Hand phone to jumps jockey who managed to remember his alibi until, hand over mouthpiece, What were those tablets called ?
No dramatic Sunday newspaper story. But it could have been.
