I’m getting a Hobonichi five-year diary for 2027-2031 for my daughter who turns 5 next year. I plan to just note highlights from her days / years and give her when she’s older as a keepsake from her childhood. I only recently learnt about hobonichi and needless to say I very much regret that I didn’t have this idea whrn she was born in 2022. So I want to backtrack another 5-year diary from 2022-2026, but a hobonichi 2022-2026 edition turns out to be impossible to find. So then I thought it’s a better idea to go with an undated one. But every single one I’ve found have every page designated to one date, not leaving room for extra writing/photos on the right side as in the hobonichi - that has the date (with 5 sections) on the left hand side and a blank one on the right. Does it exist ANY undated 5-year diary with the same layout as the hobonichi? I really want the extra space. (Yes, I considered re-dating a hobonichi one but it seems like a lot of work / not ideal 🧐) - or if anyone happens to have a 2022-2026 hobonichi lying unused in a drawer I’d be very happy to adopt it!!

Transit chart at the time of death

Secondary progression chart at time of death

Norway's King Harald V passed away peacefully at 06:35 local time (04:35GMT) this morning. He was diagnosed with hemolytic anemia and admitted to hospital on August 17th, just five days after the solar eclipse in Leo. His condition worsened and was yesterday reported as very serious.

I looked up the transits at the time of his death and some are very striking. I'm sure there are LOTS of things to note - I'm just a hobby astrologer so I hope others more knowledgeable can chime in here as I want to learn. These are just some notes that I could think of, I hope that is ok to post here and please correct me if I got anything wrong. I am mainly posting this so as to learn more, not to show off with my own interpretations.

His birth data: Born on February 21st 1937 at 12:45 pm, in Skaugum, Oslo. This gives him an ascendant of 20˚ Cancer, making the Moon his chart ruler.

First, the most obvious thing: His death occured only 23 minutes after the maximum of the partial lunar eclipse in Pisces, in his 9th whole sign house, almost completely exact conjunt his Midheaven, opposing the the Sun and Mercury sitting on his IC, the bottom of his chart.

South node is in Leo, traditionally ruling kings, with the south node indicating a fall or release.

Mars is in his 1st house, conjunct his Moon within a 4,3˚ orb. Mars rules the blood, correlating with the condition that caused an accelerated breakdown of his red blood cells.

Pluto is transiting his 8th house, and its house ruler Saturn (transiting) square both his Moon and his Jupiter, the latter being the lord of the year. Jupiter rules his 9th house where the lunar eclipse just happened, literally flickering and turning off the light of his chart ruler (and obviously also indicating his body).

Transiting Uranus sits in an almost exact square to his MC and IC, and thereby also the eclipse and the Mercury cazimi on the bottom of his chart.

Vertex is conjunct his Mercury, ruling both his 12th house and the house of his IC.

I also attach here the secondary progression chart for the time of his death. This is a technique I am not familiar with at all, so I will refrain from trying to say something clever about it although I find several things striking there too with the little knowledge that I have. But I hope someone more knowledgeable than me can help analyse it, and also chime in on the transits at the time of his death. What do you all notice?

Lastly and most importantly, rest in peace dear King Harald, your nurturing, caretaking and family- and community-oriented Cancer energy was well-known and obvious to us all.

Anyone knows were I can purchase the 2022-2026 5-year hobonichi techo? If at all possible? I searched the internet but couldn’t find one anywhere, only several out-of-stock listings. I would really like one for a retrospect project. Any links or advice highly appreciated!
