NZ HERALD HILARIOUS

Every couple of years NZ Herald tries to lure me back with a free trial subscription.

And a reminder of how much the once-honourable paper has deteriorated since my nearly 4 years there as a racing journalist in the mid-1970s. 80% of the modern-day front page is a TAB advertisement !

" TAB
Makes betting easier than winning a one-horse race."

There was a picture of a racehorse leaving the starting gates. At the bottom in the smallest print: " R18 BET RESPONSIBLY "

Once upon a time " betting " was regarded as a social evil. So it's reasonably hilarious when it is being actively encouraged in a c**try with a national debt of $182.2 billion ! Especially when in 3 years time 50% of the TAB profits will be heading to its offshore owner !

NZ'S SERIOUS CANCER CONCERNS
October 20

The Sun signs are a minor part of the great Astrological science. A starting point for delving and discovering another 11 important planets and 2 key positions in the natal chart.

The daily Sun sign paragraphs are rubbish. Especially some 50 and 60 years ago, when 4 Capricorn Sun possessors were regularly bashing each other in search of the world heavyweight boxing title-----Muhammad Ali, Floyd Patterson, George Foreman, and Joe Frazier.

How about the " Cancer " babble for November 2, 2019 ? When 1975 Cancer Kristian Woolf's Tongan rugby league team upset the world champions Australia, coached by 1960 Cancer Mal Meninga. It's also gonna be a tricky one for the day of next year's NZ general election, with 3 more Cancer " coaches " heavily involved.

It would be quite demeaning for great humans like Big Mal, Woolfie and current NRL rockstar Reece Walsh to be reading the same Cancer paragraph as NZ pollys Luxon, Seymour and Swarbrick. The National, ACT and Greens leaders, in charge of the angriest and most hopeless New Zealand in recent history.And their election-year fortunes shall be described in the " Cancer " section of November 2025's Annual Prophecies !

Luxon, Christopher:
The P M's blissful Neptune-Mars free ride ends in Feb. Thereafter chaos and confusion from Uranus v Node, with June and Dec crucial.

Seymour, David:
Unbelievable confusion and dithering from polly with Neptune-Sun, Saturn-Sun and Uranus-Jupiter negativity. Feb, March, June, Dec and Jan 027 very crucial.

Swarbrick, Chloe:
Polly getting pummelled by confusing, indecisive Neptune attacking Mercury and the Sun, with April, Sept and Feb 027 crucial. Also Pluto v Jupiter massive career change between March 026 and Nov 027.

All told, 10 pollys are possible for November 2025 of the Grand Annual Prophecies. Most are looking angry and unhappy in election year, with plenty of December dithering and dramatics in that recurring year of the uncontrollable Fire Horse.

SIMON DALLOW's " TIME OUT "
October 18

It's a serious matter when a national icon leaves the television screens, after delivering the 6 pm news for 19 years.

" One of New Zealand broadcasting’s most familiar and trusted names, Simon Dallow, is understood to be preparing to step down as TVNZ’s prime-time newsreader.
Sources say TVNZ is preparing a carefully choreographed announcement in the coming weeks – a mark of respect for a newsreader who it considers a major factor in consistently strong ratings for its flagship bulletin."

Devastating for the many-headed monster of the pit. Who's come to view these " trusted names " on the " flagship bulletin " as fresh air after a day in the toxic workplace and an hour or 2 of gridlock on the way home.

No surprise here though, after yet another phenomenal prophesy in last November's Annuals !

" Dallow, Simon:
Time out recommended for veteran newsreader with Neptune and Saturn attacking both Venus and the Node, and erratic Uranus disorganising his Mars. Needs to rest in March, May, June, July, Aug, Oct and Jan, Feb, March, April 026. "

A " veteran newsreader " hardly deserves to be on the same page as rugby league and union personnel like Warren Gatland, Des Hasler, Jahrome Hughes, Kristian Woolf, Scott Robertson, Scott Barrett, Portia Woodman or Patrick Tuipolotu. Or horse racing's Mark Walker, Andrew Forsman or Luke Nolen. But they have all been the subject of phenomenal prophecy from last November, along with the deeply-troubled Tory Whanau and Donald Trump.

The Astrological advantage comes from identifying these road blocks in the future. Life is more productive when you can manage the road blocks, by dodging them or waiting until the difficult aspect has finished.

Poor struggling, angry New Zealand. Will it ever wake up ?

KIWI COWARD CULTURE
October 16

18 years ago this month New Zealand really earned its " CUNTRY " status.

After one of NZ's worst national disasters, when the hot-favourite All Blacks got dumped in a Rugby World Cup quarter-final by France. Amongst the many funnies was a TV news shot at Christchurch airport that evening, of an All Blacks supporters group preparing to depart for France. Also flying out, quite arrogantly for only the semi-finals, were many of NZ's mainscream media !

A G.O.A.T for me, after the epic warning with Murray Deaker on Newstalk ZB, around 4.45 pm on Saturday, November 22, 2003. Deaker had raved about my amazing predictions in the annual January 2003 show, about then ailing rugby greats Jonah Lomu and Andy Haden, and deeply-troubled broadcaster Martin Devlin. And All Blacks' coach John Mitchell, whose 2003 RWC failure had been predicted 18 months earlier.

The November 2003 Deaker session totally wiped the chances of probable ABs coach Graham Henry in 2007, simply because of Pluto v Moon and Uranus v Sun atrocities. Also suffering the identical Pluto v Moon attack in 2007 was broadcasting king Paul Holmes of Newstalk ZB. With emotional and family turmoil forecast, Holmes' adopted daughter Millie was exposed in June as the nation's leading teenage methamphetamine addict !

Chosen ABs coach Graham Henry's Pluto attack supervised the All Blacks' worst-ever RWC performance, a quarter-final defeat on Sunday, October 7, 2007. Then Paul Holmes' producer decided Paul was going to interview the Astrologer who predicted the disaster on Monday's breakfast show. Holmes didn't like Astrology or me, and had actually copped some light-hearted ribbing from colleagues about Pluto and his family turmoil !

The bastard would try and make the interview as brief as possible, but I had other ideas. A long-winded speech was prepared that had Holmes huffing and puffing, with my distractions and diversions. Wriggling and squirming he was, and happy when the 8 a.m news arrived.

KIWI COWARDICE

And that was it. No further media coverage even if the phenomenal prediction had been on 3 or 4 TV shows with similar in the print industry. The nation was bitter, unable to cope with simple truth. Once noble New Zealand gave birth to a future icon-- the Kiwi Coward. Who could run from the truth, tell lies and turn the page so easily, especially with investigative journalism soon to be phased out.

The sickest of all media was Murray Deaker ONZM. 14 Annual January shows with him on Newstalk ZB had really changed a nation's thinking and introduced many new clients. But there was no repeat of his November 2003 ravings that went for 8 minutes. Deaker would not speak to me until the January 2008 Annual show, but there was a reason:

The fellow who had raved about the " Astrologer extraordinaire " that he brought back every year " because he gets it right. " The stupid c**t had gone and written a book on Graham Henry's All Blacks !

Then there was Radiosport host Doug Golightly. Former Truth sports editor who'd sub-edited " Sports Stars with Astrologer Don Murray," December 5, 2003 and the heading: " Henry's not the man for the job." Dougie ran the column for 7 or 8 years, but in spite of the amazing predictions, always liked to think he knew better. And was bitching and bleeding and blaming everyone on Radiosport in October 2007, but not brave enough to tell the truth from Truth.

THE JIGSAW PUZZLE

No longer could NZ be taken seriously. I'd had my doubts back around 1980, after a year of investigative journalism with Sunday News. So much corruption was discovered in the police force, and the corrupted news media was slowly starting to rot. Too much dishonesty, I was over NZ and went wandering.

When Astrology was discovered in London, 44 years ago this month, pieces started fitting into the human jigsaw.We were born with unchangeable traits and the future could be predicted ! New Zealand was okay again and I'd apply this amazing science to horse racing where all kinds of money could be earned. Where profits from " gambling " were untaxable, even when they became " investments on Astrological probability " ! With all the tax loopholes, working the dishonest NZ system became fun.

The News media were a big help, with all the free advertising. Newspaper space and airtime donors actually thought they were doing me a favour, like " getting your name in the paper. " Not, and I even had to tell one uppity editor that " You were just doing your fu***ng job ! "

Which they did not in 2007. Think of all those people who could have been forewarned of the earthquakes, Covid, travel disasters and the recessions. Also early detection of major health issues. Soon after Astrological magnificence would disappear from the mainscream media.

“One of the most cowardly things ordinary people do is to shut their eyes to facts.”
― C.S. Lewis, Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

Poor struggling c**try, with the latest wastewater stats showing that NZ is spending $32 million a week on methamphetamine !

There may be a culture problem ?

TORY WHANAU THE LOSER

" Tory Whanau has opened up on losing a Wellington City Council spot and life after a “challenging” mayoralty, saying she is considering leaving the country.
Whanau quit the mayoral race in April to instead run for the Māori ward, but was beaten by Labour’s Matthew Reweti, who gained the high-profile endorsement of local iwi."

No surprise after her appearance in 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. "

SKEPTIC SCABS AND CANCER
October 12

Back on September 24 a nasty, hateful mob known as NZ Skeptics were getting ridiculed here.

Notably their chief spokesperson, for his ignorance, and blatant lies like this: " The bottom line is that Don claims to have made successful predictions, but really isn’t presenting any proof of that. Give us a single solid prediction - something that is not likely to happen - and then we’ll be impressed! "

Words from a sick bastard named Craig Shearer. Who's been noticeably quiet lately. Which is because his wife's beginning chemo for a 2nd bout of breast cancer. Poor woman. If these skeptic scabs spent less time scouring the skies for scammers and more reading, thinking and asking questions, she could have been saved.

Yet another reminder of how ridiculous NZ has become. Astrology specialises in early detection of all major personal problems---like minutes after arrival from the natal chart !

Some 15-16 years back I was pitching unsuccessfully for Astrological space in the Herald on Sunday. Veteran media puppet Jane Phare wouldn't have a bar of it, but did volunteer her birthdate on request. And was told casually of her " major life upheaval in a couple of years time."

When revolutionary Pluto would be sitting on her Venus, supervising Phare's much-publicised bout of breast cancer, and losing one ! Several years later " Snotty nosed Jane " still wasn't interested. I might have even reminded her of Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, who claimed some 300-400 years before Jesus Christ's very predicted arrival that " A physician without Astrology is a fool not a physician."

Eventually Phare resorted to a Craig Shearer-type personal attack: " You didn't predict the birth of my son ! " No I didn't, because I didn't even know his mother's birthdate then, and a time of arrival would be necessary for such a prophecy.

Phare has perfect qualifications to be a skeptic. She's still piddling away in the NZ Herald, after starting off 50 years ago early next year. A true lifer, and possibly the ultimate in " going through life like a trotting horse in blinkers," like most of those skeptics. They toil away as automatic taxpayers, in banking, IT and medical. They think that tertiary education has made them intellectuals.

They don't wander and make great discoveries, take risks or the challenge of their own business. They watch a lot of television, and also watch the world go by.

I'm still waiting for Shearer and his fellow skeptical scabs to answer the questions. How were the phenomenal prophecies on Martin Crowe, Wayne Hillis, Stephen Autridge, Wayne Bennett and Sir Graham Henry etc created ?

From REECE WALSH to JAHROME HUGHES
October 10

Nothing matches the amazing Astrology when a dark tunnel needs illuminating.

We are hope, for razor gazers and those contemplating the noose. Consider a now epic prophecy of November 2021:

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

Walshy's " many upsets " in 2022 included breaking up with his missus and breaking his contract with the NZ Warriors, so he could stay close to his daughter in Brisbane. There was reassurance that Walshy would be back to his best with the Pluto attack finishing, and his Mars being enhanced by an awesome Neptune-Mars trine.

Which took him to the 2023 Grand Final with the Broncos, then becoming the highest-paid NRL player. Then winning a Gold Medal last weekend. A comeback that will inspire 2025's Mr Luckless, Melbourne halfback Jahrome Hughes. Fracturing an arm and dislocating a shoulder were part of J Hughes' Annus Horribilis that included a Grand Final defeat and missing the upcoming Pacific Cup.

No surprise really, after his appearance in the November 2024 Annual Prophecies !

" Hughes, Jahrome:
Major slowdown for NRL gun with Pluto attacking his Mars during Jan, Aug, Nov."

Pluto moves on, ending his torture of J Hughes in December. Neptune moves on with the Walsh Recovery Formula, and shall be positively trining J Hughes' energetic Mars in 2026, especially in March, October and December.

J Hughes will be back to his brilliant best, and the Melbourne Storm are early favourites for 2026.

MENTAL HEALTH MILESTONE
October 8

Thousands have experienced the magnificent Astrological enlightenment.

Last Saturday brought a probable first---a client working in " mental health." Recommended by another client, this newcomer's 2025 stress included a marriage break-up.

Hardly a surprise that destructive Pluto's been attacking her Mars since mid-2024 ! Same aspect that's featured in the predicted reversals of 2025 for Dame Lisa Carrington and footy personnel Warren Gatland, Kristian Woolf, Jahrome Hughes and Michael Cheika, and NZ oddballs Michael Laws and Miriama Kamo. Another is rugby star Jorja Miller, who missed her World Cup with injury.

Most importantly I was able to assure my new client that the Pluto-Mars horrors would end around December 26. Then life gets a lot better.

When she mentioned her occupation in " mental health " I wondered how useful this Astrology would be. She agreed, then again when I mentioned the acute lack of interest by Mike King. The national cry baby posing as a " mental health advocate " got very angry, with that epic text exchange back in December 2013 !

Firstly King wanted to know if Astrology had " made you into a millionaire, bro ? " Strange question. When he realised it was a serious matter, and was offered assistance, King got extremely vicious:
" What a di****ad thing to say Don. You don't know me mate, what makes u think I'm depressed? "

The new client agreed with my theory about sad sack Mikey just wanting to be on stage. She must have been impressed with the 3 years-update for $50, because 3 hours later she phoned me, re another friend wanting some advice. Tomorrow ? Yes, the 15-20 minutes max of enlightenment would be fitted in between lunch at the Buddhist Temple and the NRL Grand Finals.

Alternatively these fine ladies could apply to coward King's gumboot goons for 2 free, one-hour " counselling "sessions, costing taxpayers and d***y donors $120 a pop ?

Of course Pluto keeps producing. Already there are various mortals with Pluto v Mars supervising their appearances in the November 2025 Annual Prophecies----- Cricketers Pat Cummins and Ben Stokes, NZers Sir Graham Lowe and Nadia Lim, and Australian racing personnel Bjorn Baker, Peter Gelagotis and James McDonald etc. As well as the lots who'll be having the lay-off or liquidation experience in the upcoming, ripper recession.

Poor, struggling, angry New Zealand. Cowering away from the only system that gets anything right. Going on the current mess, it's obviously got a well-deserved, bad credit rating with the Gods of Karma !

JETT CLEARY " AROUND 5 PM " YESTERDAY
October 6

Much has been written about the Premiership-winning NZ Warriors Reserves, and the phenomenal prophecy last February.

Supplemented on July 24 with " BIG UPPERS FOR JETT CLEARY "

And how this recent, Australian addition, with strong Aries enthusiasm, would fit in very nicely with the team's predicted triumph. Including: " And there's nothing wrong with J Cleary either. On NRL Grand Final day, October 5, he's being enhanced around 5 pm ( NZ Time ) by a very positively energetic Mars-Uranus trine. Perfect for an early afternoon match, Aussie time. "

Then I discovered that his team's NSW Cup Grand Final would be on the Sunday beforehand. The principals of the team and J Cleary all fitted nicely and they won that 30-12. So I wondered WTF would be making Messrs Cleary, Doyle, Going, Tangata-Toa and owner " Robbo " etc so blissfully happy on the evening of October 5 ?

Then I discovered they would be playing the Burleigh Bears ( Queensland ) in the NRL State Championship, starting around 3.20 pm ( NZ Time )--- " Perfect for an early afternoon match, Aussie time ( 1.20 pm )."

At exactly 5 pm NZ-time, Jett Cleary charged off the reserves' bench and onto the field. 12 minutes later the ref blew the whistle---50--20 to the NZ Warriors. Soon after the commentator was congratulating the NZ Warriors, for the club winning their first-ever game on a NRL Grand Final day.

Totally wrong. John Ackland coached the Juniors to Grand Final wins in 2010 and 2011. Confidently predicted as well.

ROCKSTAR ECONOMY TO RIPPER RECESSION
October 5

" Top economist says NZ's 'Rock Star Economy' is over. "

Said the headline. So I wondered how a " top economist " is defined, and is he an " expert " ?

" New figures released by Stats NZ on Thursday continue to paint a grim picture of the New Zealand workforce.
To date in 2025, the number of filled jobs sits at 2,327,916, a drop of 17,446 for the same time last year. Since the coalition gained power in 2023, there are 37,959 fewer jobs available for New Zealanders.
“It’s clearly tough. The job losses you are seeing are considerable, and we’re seeing them come across a wide variety of industries,” economist and CEO of Infometrics Brad Olsen told Stuff’s Sam Hayes on Thursday.
Construction continues to be the biggest loser, with 10,214 fewer jobs than last year, and 18,427 since 2023 when the coalition came into power. "
And apparently one in six New Zealanders can't afford to see a doctor.

The World Champion Astrologer started predicting this ripper recession around 15 months ago. Another one for the trophy cabinet, alongside the World Record for long-range prophecy, the previous recession predictions for Australia and New Zealand, the national disaster warnings, royal marriages, the rugby and league upsets, horse racing certainties and the " Martin Crowe day."

With NZ in line for a national record/personal best. 1991 recorded a post-war high of 10.6% unemployment, when Pluto was crushing NZ's Jupiter. Going on the latest load of liquidations and layoffs, this figure could be bested by the crucial Pluto-Mercury crush in NZ's natal chart from February 2025 until November 2026.

It's gonna be brutal. And I could be able to claim a " goal assist " or become a " top economist/expert " if the 1991 record does get shattered ?

THE " LAWS " OF HOLIDAY ASTROLOGY

One of our favourite trump cards is " Holiday Astrology."

When you can select those perfect times for a vacation. When fishing and shellfish quotas can be exceeded. When a lodge forgets to send an email and you get $800 of free accommodation. When a hot lady with a tent, canoe and Murrayjuana picks you up hitchhiking and detains you for 3 days beside a secluded lake.

Flip the coin and you have plane crashes, unscheduled delays like Covid captivity etc in foreign lands. Summer vacation time is on the horizon, along with memories of a memorable warning back in October, 2009. When I was previewing the upcoming year for broadcaster-politician-knowall Michael Laws.

2 very torrid Pluto attacks through 2010, supervising some major personal restructuring and life changes, with January crucial and " not a blissful holiday month. "

Epic prophecy ! In January 2010, Laws and partner Leone Brookhammer separated. Laws had to call the cops after the " claw hammer " attacked him so violently ! She was taken away, later to rehab and Lawsie added " solo father of 3 " to his duties.

Now Lawsie's enduring another " torrid Pluto attack," after his appearance in last November's Annual Prophecies !

" Laws, Michael:
Media oddball facing major and difficult changes from Pluto anti his Mars, with Feb, July, Dec crucial. Serious Saturn restrictions in March and major comedown around Dec. More Neptune-Sun and Uranus-Moon chaos in 026. "

The " Dec " for Mr perfect/control freak/knowall will be extremely " crucial. " Remembering that NZ's confidently-predicted ripper recession is 6 months away from its nadir. And " Dec " for NZ has a sorrowful Moon-Saturn issue that shall supervise loads of liquidations and lay-offs. So similar to the epic destructions of the 2023-24 summer and the recession new prime minister Luxutive claimed he " inherited."

Meanwhile I-love-myself-Laws is babbling away on a pop-up radio station, that's funding was slashed in March and is allegedly surviving on the smell of an oily rag. That station will take " early parole " before this year's finished and 68-year-old Lawsie will be devastated.

All the preaching in parliament, as a mayor and media commentator, but to no avail. The country he has campaigned for, to make a better place for " our children " has never been so angry and hopeless.
