Hi Jessica thanks as always for your work. I’ve been reading your latest pieces avidly - I have Fortuna at 29 TA and Jupiter retrograde opposite at 27 SC. Beyond the personal, I have been reflecting a bit on the wider implications of these nodal conditions. Venus the ruler of Taurus rules not only hard currency and fiscal matters of all types, but also art and culture. Aside from unpaid war debt and all the physical losses of lives, land and property, there is also a massive legacy from that time period of the widespread institutionalised, systematic looting of cultural objects and institutions, also the treasuries of sovereign nations. WW2 is considered by many to have resulted in the largest wholesale loss of cultural objects in history. There are still incalculable amounts of artwork and bullion and other treasures missing. You mention the Swiss banks. There are also secret vaults with undisclosed contents and shadowy ownership in Switzerland from that time that remain hidden from view to this day. The work of reparation has continued all these years but the vast majority of all this wealth remains unaccounted for. We still don’t even have an accurate picture of just what and how much was lost. There have been a number of nodal cycles since the war, but not together Uranus in Taurus as in 1938 and now. Personally I hope that it means lost things will be found, returned and seen again. I’d love to read your comments on this.

You m ight be interested in this reading this book/true story - I found it quite the eye-opener when I read it several years ago and made me think now about the karma you mention. https://www.countrylife.co.uk/out-and-about/theatre-film-music/book-review-joes-war-my-father-decoded-43189

Once again I groggily get myself up for my day to find incredible writing from Jessica Adams on my cell phone. I’ve been mulling over the debts owed from the Second World War as you’ve mentioned them before. My own father passed through France, Belgium, Germany and Austria and I felt his own quiet pain dealing with what was then called “shell shock”. I wish that those who were actually there and suffered unmeasurable loss could be the ones who get paid back somehow.

Outstanding again.
