WHO CAN YOU TRUST ?
November 16

Why would Simon Dallow suddenly stop reading the 6 p.m news after nearly 20 years ?

Why would 2025 be so unproductive for celebrated footy coaches Des Hasler, Kristian Woolf and Warren Gatland ? Why so many reversals for Dame Lydia Ko, Jahrome Hughes and Portia Woodman ?

All predicted in the November 2024 Annual Prophecies, as yet another year of amazing Astrology is petering out, with the normal 90%-plus success rate. Rugby union personnel Scott Robertson, Scott Barrett, Scott Hansen and Patrick Tuipolotu featured, along with horse racing's Mark Walker, Andrew Forsman, Luke Nolen and Warren Kennedy. Also Dame Lisa Carrington and Scott McLaughlin, with pearls on Donald Trump, Tory Whanau, Millie Holmes, Duncan Garner and John Tamihere.

Add the long-range predictions of May-June disaster for Israel and Netanyahu. But my favourite was the declaration in February of Grand Final success for the NZ Warriors' Reserves, and the awesome forecasts on coach David Tangata-Toa and players Kalani Going and Geronimo Doyle. 2 Grand Finals actually, the NSW Cup and State Championship.

Poor New Zealand. So accustomed to mediocrity in the police, media, education and mental health, they just cannot handle a system that actually gets it right most of the time. Not a country to be taken seriously.

The next Annual Prophecies shall be published on November 26.

A McSKIMMING MATTER IN MATAMATA
November 14

From the muck around the disgraced cop McSkimming emerged:

" Police fear victims may now hesitate to report sexual offences."

There was that feeling in Matamata some 50 years ago. As the brother-in-law of future Hall of Famer Mike Moroney told me of a recent horrific pack r**e by some apprentice jockeys and stablehands: " But there won't be any charges by the police because some of Dave O'Sullivans' boys are involved."

At the time I was a NZ Herald racing journalist and had no reason at all to break such a scoop. I was seriously cementing my position in the noble industry. A few months later I would actually win a national journalism competition, with 10 days at The Boulevard Hotel in Sydney for the Easter carnival. And be standing in the Randwick birdcage alongside D J O'Sullivan after his Oopik won the Sydney Cup.

44 years later a lady with a Matamata upbringing came for an Astrological enlightenment, later wondering if I knew about the pack r**e involving her former classmate ? Only from what Moroney's bro-in-law told me, and the client filled in the gaps.

A story went up on www.donmurrayastrologer.com, then the Astrological client phoned again with memories of an iconic Matamata nun named Sister Kathleen. Who she'd recently encountered at a funeral, and the kindly nun still remembered comforting the r**e victim 44 years earlier

Names like O'Sullivan, Moroney, Gillies, Clements and Moody were amongst the dozen in the pack r**e of a diminutive, 14 year-old redhead at Alan Robinson's stables in Burwood Ave. The local police had got involved and future OBE owner and Hall of Famer D J O'Sullivan called in his friendly Waikato District racecourse inspector Norm Sowter to calm the waters.

Former Auckland vice squad cop Sowter used his powers of persuasion with the Matamata police, and Mr O'Sullivan donated $15k in 1976 money to the victim's trust fund. End of story. Their story.

Several Matamata racing personnel from the 1970s noticed the website article and contacted me with information. Like legendary jumps rider Graeme Walters in a skype from the Phillipines, and a lesser known jockey who named 4 of the rapists that didn't get the special treatment.
After a secret inquiry, these 4 comparative nobodies got quietly blacklisted from the racing industry.

EVIL ALCOHOL DEMOTED

NZ's serious substance-abuse issues have long been a source of great amusement.

Especially the heavy promotion of alcohol, although that evil is no longer regarded as the world's most dangerous drug. Alcohol was the perennial table topper in surveys all over the world, until demoted in a mid-2025 assessment in England !

Our Top 10 Most Dangerous & Addictive Drugs

1. Fentanyl – The Most Dangerous Drug On The Street
2. Alcohol – Often Underestimated
3. He**in – A Potent Class A Opioid
4. Co***ne – Powerfully Addictive & Moreish
5. Bromazolam in the UK – A Designer Benzo Overtaking Scotland
6. Ketamine – “The Horse Tranquilliser”
7. M**hamphetamine – Death Rates Up by 180%.
8. Oxycodone – One Of The Most Dangerous Opioid Drugs
9. M**hadone – Frequently Prescribed For He**in Addiction
10. Synthetic Cannabinoids – Nothing Like Cannabis

Murrayjuana a.k.a Cannabis is nowhere to be seen, and now has a 0000 formline in recent editions of the DDWC--- Dangerous Drugs World Cup. Alcohol has 1112.

A notable dropper from 4th to 7th place is M**hamphetamine. Obviously an inspiration to NZers, with recent stats showing that M**h use has doubled here in 12 months, to a $19 million weekly spend !

THE LOGIC

Aristotle-Buddha-Confucius-Dalai Lama-Hippocrates-Plato- logic would decide:
" NZ government is criminal, allowing a very bad drug to be sold. Therefore it is not a crime to sell a not-as-bad drug. "

The supposed M**h epidemic wouldn't be so dramatic if a human equivalent of evil alcohol had been honest. Ex-PM Ardern, the New World Order Slut, decided to publicise her " I voted yes " in the 2020 Cannabis referendum after the election. Her endorsement beforehand would have got the 48% over the line, and NZ would be a much happier place.

But there is good in everything. The $19 million weekly spend means a massive earn for gang members, with Karmic considerations for the many who were abused in care and had deprived and violent childhoods. The gang provides a supportive family, pathways and self-employment and revenge on the systems they'd learned to mistrust.

" MONITORING " JOHN TAMIHERE IN " NOV "

The mainstream media headlines are indicating a lot of trouble in the farty party. We know the media has long been stripped of its trustworthiness, and is laden with liars and cowards.

However some of their work can be verified by Astrological awesomeness. And they have got it right with Te Pati Maori, after the leader's appearance in last November's Annuals !

" Tamihere, John:
Major reversals and erratic behaviour with Uranus savaging his Mars and Jupiter. Needs monitoring in June, Nov and April 026."

DAVID ELLIS' HOSTILITY FLOP

Zillions of $$$$$ have been squandered on slow racehorses.

Some sensational prophecies have been made on failures among the expensive yearlings, especially those purchased by NZ's chief squanderer, Te Akau Racing's David Ellis. Who featured in a website sensation on January 19,2024:

" Ellis splashed again at the Gold Coast sales recently, squandering $3.7 mill on 3 yearlings of October 16, 18 and 19 births. There's a major chance of all mid-October 2022 borns becoming flops, through arriving under very negative Sun-Pluto, Mars-Neptune and Saturn-Uranus squares."

Ellis' latest head scratcher is Hostility----of October 19, 2022 birth ! This $1.65 million purchase looks like the latest of Dave's duds, after being early favourite for the NZ spring's richest 3 year-old race. Hostility had been shaping as a next big thing, when twice 2nd last season. 3 starts this season have produced a 777 formline !

THE MURDERER
Hostility was fated to join Ellis' long list of flops. With Sun v Pluto, Venus v Pluto, Mars v Neptune and Saturn v Uranus complications at birth, he was made to be lazy, inconsistent and angry with a generally bad attitude. Similar complications were noted for a human of April 1977 birth in a recent client request. His girlfriend had been sent to me for an enlightenment, with feedback from the girlfriend's original recommender.

I deemed that the April 1977 fellow was the client's big problem, with his serious anger management issues, and the recommender agreed: " Actually he's just come over from Australia, after getting out of jail for murder. "

The mob for the next yearling sales arrived in the Spring of 2024. Perfect Uranus and Pluto trining the Sun dates are featured, with those brilliant aspects that supervised the arrivals of champions Ka Ying Rising and Black Caviar ! Along with Pluto negatives possessed by Hostility, the April 1977 murderer and probably floppy Dave's best dud---Saperavi, who cost $2.2 mill and earned $12k with just one win.

That list of recommendations should take about 5 minutes to compile. Watch this space.

Footnote: Earlier this year statistics from elsewhere demonstrated floppy Dave's legendary wastefulness. Over 5 recent yearling sales, Ellis purchased 30 horses for more than $350k---- 28 of them failed to return their purchase price in prize money..

THE JELLY ROLL WARNING

" Fans of Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Jelly Roll have been left in tears after he cancelled his Auckland show at Western Springs on Saturday.
The global superstar country artist announced the decision on his Instagram."

I'd never heard of the bloke but his photo suggested a very intense Astrological chart. Which it is, with very powerful unions involving the Sagittarian Sun and Uranus, and Mercury alongside Neptune at Capricorn 0 = Crazy, brilliant, many unusual turns in life + Very imaginative and creative, but easily led and very self-indulgent.

With Jelly Roll's recent problems so easy to diagnose. Deceptive Neptune and restrictive Saturn have been hovering around Aries 0 in the sky this year. Aries and Capricorn do not agree, with a major showdown next February ! When Neptune and Saturn shall be locked together in Aries 0 --- and attacking both the Capricorn 0 planets in the natal chart of Jelly Roll.

4 months of gardening leave is recommended for the fellow. And house arrest in February.

RIPPER RECESSION UPDATE

If this wasn't enough to laugh about:

"Unemployment hits 8-year high leaving 160,000 Kiwis out of work"

Then Labour got into the blame-game, and made a ginormous spelling mistake ! " Unemployment has hit 5.3% because of Christopher Luxon’s cuts."

In the haste and horror, the " n " was omitted from " cuts, " but in reality it ain't anybody's fault. Possibly the witchdoctor who pointed the bone nearly 18 months ago ?

" NZ'S NEXT RECESSION
June 14 2024
I thought I'd done enough ' Recession Astrology ' in recent years. "

Various, reasonably phenomenal case histories were used to explain why NZ was having another Ripper Recession between February 2025 and November 2026. Simply because of revolutionary Pluto squashing NZ's natal Mercury position in that era. With further economic catastrophes forecast for around December this year and March of next !

There was a similarly destructive Pluto squash way back in 1991, when the revolution-maker was crushing NZ's Jupiter position. And NZ's unemployment skyrocketed to a post war high of 10.6 %. 12 months left to double the current stats and smash the record ?

You can do this New Zealand !

Footnote: It ain't all bad though. As we know so well, there shall always be beneficiaries of Pluto positivity to all the Gemini and Libra positions. From NRL champions like David Tangata-Toa, Roger Tuivasa-Sheck and Craig Bellamy featuring in the upcoming Annual Prophecies, to Ghislaine Maxwell, Meghan Markle and NZ polly Shane Jones.

SAVING MATE MA'A TONGA

Not a lot was expected from the Mate Ma'a Tonga team this year. After the coach's appearance in last November's Annual Prophecies:

" Woolf, Kristian:
Major off-year for NRL coach with Uranus v Venus and the Node, and Pluto savaging Mars. March, May, June, July, Oct crucial."

Unfortunately Pluto shall continue to savage Woolf's Mars for another 12 months. Totally wiping Tonga's chances of winning a now very wide open Rugby League World Cup in November 2026. Recent speculation from Tonga has

" David Tangata-Toa favoured to be the next Tonga Rugby League head coach once Kristian Woolf retires."

Which should be right now, after Tonga's thumpings by NZ ( 14-40 ) and Samoa ( 6-34 ) in the last fortnight. Woolf's 2025 woes included his Dolphins finishing 9th in the NRL. Back on September 29 I was raving about Tangata-Toa, after his NZ Warriors Reserves' NSW Cup Grand Final win that was confidently forecast way back on February 20 :

" With big possibilities of an NSW Cup repeat next year. The coach is booked in for the November 2025 Annual Prophecies !

Tangata-Toa, David:
Major achievement year for NRL coach with awesome Pluto and Uranus trines to his Jupiter. And Neptune trining his Node. March, June, Aug, Nov very notable. "

As has been proven so often, it don't matter where you are or what you're doing, Pluto and Uranus trines will still operate. That " very notable Nov " would ensure a Grand Final appearance for Mate Ma'a Tonga in the 2026 RLWC if D T T is the coach.

MELBOURNE CUP MAGNIFICENCE

It's always been one of the year's greatest days for me.

From being specifically booted out of Latin class at Mt Albert Grammar in 1970 in order to get 2 buses home to watch the Cup on TV in One Tree Hill. To the epic 2017, when the World Record for long-range prophecy was established. On July 4, 2012 boutique Matamata trainer Wayne Hillis had been labelled for Melbourne Cup day 5 years, 4 months and 3 days in advance. With:

" 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. "

W P Hillis took one horse to Ellerslie on Melbourne Cup day, 2017---Watch This Space, winning the main handicap race and paying $9.80 for the win. Conclusive proof of Astrology's magnificence.

Eventually I contacted the Guinness Book of Records, who could find no section for " Long-range prediction/prophecy." They kindly offered to consider my application, for 10,000 English pounds up front, with no guarantee of any reimbursement.

No reply was necessary. The Guinness query merely confirmed that there is no record of any similar prediction. So Wayne Hillis, Watch This Space and myself hold an unbeatable world record.

BART'S $55 WINNER

The Champion Racing System began in December 1985 and next year brought an auspicious Melbourne Cup day debut when operating in Australia.Trainer J Bart Cummings was the label for Tuesday, November 4, 1986.It was a major off-year for the Cups king, with only 2 runners in the whole nation that day. Bart's Cup horse finished 5th, and his Cropley Road won the next race at Flemington--- paying $55 !

I've only been to one Melbourne Cup, in 1977 during a spell as a stablehand in Mordialloc. One amazing day of drunkenness and only one bet---Bart's Gold'n' Black, the Cup winner at 7 to 2.

There is no longer the great NZ dominance of the 1960s and 70s. In 1977 there were 5 NZ-trained gallopers among the 24, and 8 NZ-born jockeys involved. Often in the 1980s there'd be 8 of the 24-horse field from NZ. Today there is not a single NZ-trained runner, and only 2 NZ-born jockeys, James McDonald and Mick Dee, who've been based in Aussie for more than 10 years, are involved.

CUP DAY HURDLES LONGSHOT

The Astrological system has had lots of fun on Melbourne Cup day, with a very profitable formline this century of 2111232323011. The first " 2 " was from Lesvos Ruler in the now-defunct Cup Day Hurdle of 2001. In January that year Takanini-based jumps jockey Nathan Hanley was labelled in several media outlets as the bet for Melbourne Cup day, if he managed to get a ride somewhere.

Hanley decided to try his luck in Melbourne that year and landed the mount on $15 shot Lesvos Ruler. Birth information was required for that horse's trainer, a little-known Peter Gelagotis of Moe. Trying to explain the Astrological to his father, Michael Gelagotis got " You notta pulla my leg ah ? ". The elderly Greek was reassured that I was deadly serious, and they'd run a blinder on Tuesday----- 2nd place with a $3.95 dividend.

The Champion Racing System hasn't had a Melbourne Cup day punt since the Wayne Hillis epic 8 years ago. We're down to less than 4 investments a year and phenomenal profit margins, and there's nothing again today. But next year is very likely. With a trainer who usually lines up a couple at Ellerslie meetings slotted in for the fantastic first Tuesday of November 2026.

In the meantime I'm hopeful of starting our current season on Saturday, November 22.

SUICIDES UP AGAIN

NZ's supposed mental crisis has long been a source of great amusement. Their systems ain't working at all, but some don't think it's funny:

" Frustration, sadness, as su***de rates remain high
31 October 2025
A key leader in New Zealand's mental health sector says it is frustrating there has been little change in New Zealand's su***de rates in the past decade.
According to the latest figures from the Coroner's Court and Health NZ, there were 630 suspected su***des in the year to June, up from 617 the year before. "

Hilarious when a sad cuntry continues to ignore great Astrological science. That which the father of modern medicine, Hippocrates was using and recommending some 300-400 years before Jesus Christ arrived ! Which arrival was forecast by Astrologers known as the Three Wise Men.
Hilarious when the sad cuntry has been conned by the failed comedian/mental health advocate, national cry baby Mike King, and wastes so much money on " counsellors " and his gumboot goons. In fact next month sees that 12th anniversary of communications that confirmed the attention-craving, super-coward King was only there to get his name in lights:

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 di****ad thing to say Don. You don't know me mate, what makes u think I'm depressed? "

Wow. Genuinely interested parties are usually convinced after 10 minutes of analysis. King needed to be taught a lesson. The Annual Prophecies decided that 2019 was a " Major off-year for the depression expert with Pluto-Sun and Saturn-Mercury catastrophes."

That " major off-year " included a mental breakdown, King's gumboot mob running out of money and a motorbike crash when he suffered nine broken ribs, broke his collarbone and punctured a lung !

A reasonably phenomenal prophecy, but not good enough for medication Mikey to be the " Mental Health " representative in the G.O.A.T section. This was:

www.donmurrayastrologer.com, May 31, 2021
' With ( Martin ) Devlin's Mercury position ( Aquarius 14.39 ) getting a few rammings from erratic Uranus in unfriendly Ta**us. July, August and September are crucial months, when Devlin's thoughts and communicating will be much weirder than usual. And his emails.
3 months of gardening leave wouldn't be a bad idea......'

On July 24, troubled broadcaster Martin Devlin was found unconscious after attempting to take his own life.

Poor, sick, extremely angry New Zealand.

" Take me down to the Su***de city
But mention Astrology
And they get real s**tty "

FEMALE JOCKEYS TAKEOVER

'Twas 50 years ago last weekend that the fledgling lady riders' movement got its biggest-ever booster.

The Rotorua Racing Club staged the Qantas International Lady Riders' Race. A non-TAB race that included NZ's best female jocks and others from Australia, USA, England and Singapore. With 1975 just happening to be International Women's Year. There'd been a few gimmick races for local girls, but this innovation brought the female fighters onto the international stage.

It was a raging success, with plans for a 1976 edition. The USA rep Lotte Von Bromssen spoke of the 200-odd licensed women jockeys back home, who were able to compete against the men. Many wondered why couldn't this happen in NZ ? Especially with licensed Canadian jockey Joan Phipps, who was invited to New Zealand for the 1976 Qantas Lady Riders Series, but refused permission to ride in tote races here.

Supported by the Rotorua, Waikato and Stratford Racing Clubs, the Series grew to four races in 1977. These three clubs, various racing journalists and a determined group of women riders around New Zealand proved to be strong, and ultimately successful, advocates for female jockeys.

Finally, in July 1977, the New Zealand Racing Conference approved the licensing of women as jockeys. The first woman to ride against male jockeys in a New Zealand betting race was Joan Phipps and she made the most of a memorable occasion by riding Daphalee (a mare, of course!) to victory in the Te Hinemoa Handicap at Te Awamutu on 1 November 1977.

On 15 July 1978, four New Zealand women, Vivienne Kaye at Trentham, and Joanne Hale, Joanne Lamond and Sue Day at Waimate all made their professional riding debuts.

Great names like Linda Jones, Debbie Healey, Maree Lyndon, Lisa Cropp, Lisa Allpress, Samantha Collett and Danielle Johnson have followed. In 48 years, females have won the national jockeys' premiership on 9 occasions.

Fast forward to a minor Taranaki meeting on Friday October 24, 2025:
17 jockeys rode, and only 5 of them were male. i.e 70% were female !

2026 RLWC UPSET
October 30

Back on September 18, the possibility of rugby league great Gorden Tallis joining the Kangaroos coaching staff was strongly supported, with the 2026 RLWC in mind. Including:

" But let us pray that G Tallis gains employment, with big possibilities of another major upset."

Tallis' appointment has been confirmed. And his appearance in the November 2025 Annual Prophecies !

" Tallis, Gorden:
Massive off-year for NRL personality from Pluto v Sun and Uranus v Venus attacks. Jan, May, July, Nov, Dec crucial, also Jan+Feb 027. "

The Kangaroos are the perennial World Champions, having won 9 of the 10 titles in the last 50 years. When a key member of the team is under difficult planetary aspects, the chances of a major upset are increased. Especially with the Grand Final being in " crucial Nov." On September 18 it was also decreed:

" Nothing's clear for the Kangaroos head coach Kevin Walters in 2026 and I'll have to wait until a Grand Final date is confirmed before cursing him. "

The appearance of one of the Kangaroos' superstars in the November 2025 Annual Prophecies adds fuel to the inferno:

" Cleary, Nathan:
Major off-year for NRL superstar with Neptune straining Mars until late 027. May, Aug 026 crucial, with Saturn-Venus setbacks in April, Nov, Dec."

Lest we not forget that tiny Tonga's first-ever triumphs over both the Kiwis and Kangaroos were confidently predicted.
