August, is a time when the valiant, heroic sign Leo, is ready to risk his/her life for true love but not always his/her pride and dignity. For many us this month will be a time of beautiful dreams coming true and for others a series of nightmares The Eclipse Season resumes with the New Moon on 8-1 at 6:13 AM ET. Our heroic paths may not be all that clear with Neptune, the esoteric ruler of Leo now in the sign of community Aquarius opposing personal planets. This is a time when we need to cooperate with the divine. Venus is separating from a difficult opposition to Neptune (exact on July 31st) a time of idealistic love along with defeats, the acceptance of losses which includes resignations of the famous and infamous. On July 30th the "Wannabe Machiavelli" Karl Rove who befriended the Idiot Prince was cited for contempt of Congress. See Chart Above for Solar Eclipse Outer Wheel to Rove natal chart. Update: July 31st with Venus Opposing Neptune @ 12:30 PM EDT: WASHINGTON - President Bush's top advisers are not immune from congressional subpoenas, a judge ruled Thursday in an unprecedented dispute between the two political branches of the U.S. government. . There are rumors (Neptunian energies) of Rove being publicly pursued for possible punishments including an array of alleged past and present Bush administration misdeeds. On August 6th Mercury opposes Neptune adding to the examples of deception and scandals. On Aug. 15th Sun opposes Neptune exactly right before the next eclipse a Partial Lunar Eclipse @ 24 Aquarius. Both Eclipses fall across Rove's (born Dec. 25, 1950) Ascendant Descendant making him the next scapegoat before GWB finally falls. Of course the president's chief of staff, Josh Bolten, and former legal counsel Harriet Miers would have to accept defeat or even jail too.
"I am asking you to vote your conscience, vote your dreams, vote your future, vote Green," McKinney told the convention's 800 or so attendees. "A vote for the Green Party is a vote for the movement that will turn this country right-side-up again."
MckInney (born March 17, 1955) sorry no exact time yet - who has Uranian rule Chiron, Venus and Mercury all in Aquarius will be creating real change. After the Mars-Saturn alignment on July 10, 2008 brought the upcoming Saturn-Uranus Opposition on the Election Nov 4th we are all on edge and ready for some time of revolutionary change. Cynthia has a Greand Trine with Sun (leadership) to Uranus (innovation-freedom) to Saturn (organization) in her natal chart all in emotional water signs giving a positive nurturing tone to her campaign.
The August 6th Mars-Uranus Opposition (2:37 PM EDT) is a monster This explosive aspect has many mundane and personal interpretations dealing with possible major earth changes from Tsunamis to Earthquakes yet creates a final release of restrictions, seething anger creating rash and sudden disruptions. Yet every aspect whether opposition, square or trine involving volatile planets like Mars (agression-initiative) or Uranus (unexpected change- need for freedom) has a positive side. In this case a chance for lots of people to experience liberation and end inhibtions whether self-imposed or from outside sources. This Mars-Uranus Opposition will give a huge boost to the Green Party as many of the previously disaffected factions in this country will began to really get up and speak out. FYI another interpretation of this opposition which involves Uranus in Neptune ruled Pisces directly relating to oil may be a critical reaction to Iran's Oil Bourse. The Oil Bourse, which finally begins to trade Oil in Euros not dollars on July 14th kicking off the Oil Bomb! Cynthia's Vesta (devotion-focus-commitiment) is @ 22 Gemini 01 dealing with intellectual communications, networking as an asset but also a vulnerabilty with a SQ to her Sun creating some conflicts dealing with her life's work but now their is a resolution. Most remarkable on August 6th her Vesta is exactly - perfectly TSQ to the above opposition of Mars-Uranus - expect some major media drama!
Part One: After today's nose thumbing and impending Congressional thumping, Karl Rove might be asking himself "You wanna go to jail or you wanna go home?" this of course was said by another Capricorn, Denzel Washington, considered a lot cooler then Rove, in a movie about police corruption all the way to the top: Training Day. Rove whose cool, calm Aquarian rising isn't offering any clue to how scared he might be especially with Impeachment back on the table. A spokesperson for a National Impeachment Network (NIN) lobbying delegation, which has been meeting with Congress members in Washington DC this week, said "There is clear evidence that the mood of Congress has shifted. Impeachment hearings could start this month." Both Bush and Rove think they are above the law and are in for a rude awakening especially when Mars Opposes Uranus @ 22 degrees on Aug. 6, 2008. This opposition of Mars-Saturn will cross Rove's Pisces N. Node and Virgo S. Node so it will be the details that will trip him up. The petty dictator GWB gets a full on TSQ to his Nodes @ 20 Gemini-Sagittarius On that day in August, Neptune-Chiron-North Node will all be in GW's 7th adding insult to injury to his fatal demise and impeachment hearings? What's up with this Wannabe Machiavelli Karl Rove who befriended the Idiot Prince?(I wrote back in July 2005 about the Bush-Rove relationship) Today Former White House adviser Karl Rove defied a congressional subpoena and refused to testify Thursday about allegations of political pressure at the Justice Department, including whether he influenced the prosecution of a former Democratic governor of Alabama. With both noted malefics, Mars and Saturn in vicious conjunction transiting his 7th house of open enemies and legal problems, Rove again is telling a congressional committee to kiss his ass. What gives? I ask this incredulously especially since Aquarian Committee Chairwoman Linda Sanchez (born January 28, 1969) (D-Calif.) is one person Rove doesn't want to trifle tangle with. Linda with her Juno-Pallas in fiery Sagittarius and her natal Mars in determined, intense and persistent Scorpio is someone Rove better pay attention to - Watch her tear up Dubya's legal lackey and former attorney general: Alberto Gonzales back on May 10, 2007: Sanchez who was having none of Rove's "executive by contact nonsense" that, is really a focused individual with (3) stelliums all touching her nodes of fate: one in Libra (Jupiter-Uranus-S Node0 brining previous legal experience perhaps from a past life demanding justice. The other with N. Node (1Aries)to Chiron and Venus offering universal compassion to those that have been injured. ( saying, "I hereby rule that Mr. Rove’s claims of immunity are not legally valid, and his refusal to comply with the subpoena and appear at this hearing to answer questions cannot be properly justified." Notice the side chart with Karl in the middle and outer wheel showing Linda Sanchiez contacts like a Neptune/Scorpio right at MC to offer an almost spiritual vendetta brought about by this Angel of Justice with a powerful Pluto-Venus opposition (Virgo to Pisces) right on Rove's Nodes! Again we will see he mark of Kali Ma helping right the traiterous wrongs. I wrote back in my blog July 17, 2005 almost three years ago: "At this point in Rove's political career, the usual level headed, man of objective taste and actions has fallen into a pit of confusion. The illusions and fantasies will continue to play out with Sp (Secondary Progressed) (to 7/18/05) Mars/Venus and NNode at 21 Pisces getting blasted by Transiting Pluto in Sagittarius. Pluto takes no prisoners and sweeps everything out of our life like a monster hurricane and Rove's actions, values and future direction are all Sp in his his area of personality and how he faces the world." (Well with Uranus (ruler of Rove's ascendant) stationing retrograde on June 26, 2008 @ 22 Pisces 39 just minutes away from K.Rove's North Node of destiny - the proverbial shit is going to hit the Rove machine's fans.
Back to the chart on the top of this page Today was both busy astrologically and with a Venus SQ the Moon aspect @ 4:10 PM adding a Woman's touch to the drama. Especially with Moon in Justice Oriented Libra moving across Rove's 8th house of power plays in direct conflict to Venus in his 6th: of day to day activities, civil servants and health.... We need to remember that Venus is void of course and is exerting more power Committee Chairwoman Linda Sanchez is setting the stage for a contempt charge which means Check in Chess - as Alonzo Harris said in Training Day: The shit's chess, it ain't checkers! To further complicate this game of chess and strategy, it went barely notice that Bush declared a national emergency on June 26th, 2008 regarding the North Korea situation which could checkmate all of us with Martial Law! Obviously the "supposed democratic process " of a general presidential election will also be suspended. Part Two Continued....
On a day when Jupiter, the law giver, reached maximum brilliance this week, on July 9th, when it makes its closest approach to Earth for all of 2008 our rights to free speech were buried. Astrologically Jupiter @ 17 Capricorn symbol of the Urnion Jack or another flag flyiing from a new Britihs destoryer. Here we have the planet of exaggerations and belief systems ending the day in a tight TSQ to Sun and Moon with the crisis ridden first qtr. moon phase unable to integrate the power of dualistic Mars-Saturn in mutable Virgo, mutable opposition of Mercury (Air) to Pluto (in fiery Sagittarius) besides of course Uranus a potent symbol of sudden, unepected change moving backwards near the 4th house representing values as real estate and agriculture, housing and living conditions. It is the foundation or base of the society and its traditions. Compromise Solutions or Restrictions of Technology? Under the illusion of compromise with Libra Moon applying to a trine with Neptune, the more draconian results of this law are not revealed. "Th bill also would allow the government to obtain broad, yearlong intercept orders from the FISA court that target foreign groups and people, raising the prospect that communications with innocent Americans would be swept up." Another factor with the heavy emphasis on technology present with transits of Mars-Saturn in Virgo and Neptune in Aquarius SQ Pallas in TAurus to confuse the isueesl "The original FISA law required the government to get wiretapping warrants for each individual targeted from inside the United States, on the rationale that most communications inside the U.S. would involve Americans whose civil liberties must be protected. But technology has changed. Purely foreign communications increasingly pass through U.S. wires and sit on American computer servers, and the law required court orders be obtained to access those as well." The perfect storm crossed our nation's legacy of freedom as with Mars-Saturn together in Virgo (ruled by Mercury) transited the US Sibley Chart (July 4, 1776) 9th house of legislation, foreign relations just as Mercury Opposes Plutoacross the 1st and 7th houses of our Nations Image our nation as a whole and persona opposed by an agreement to support via an agreement or alliance in the 7th. Plus Sun-Jupiter TSQ the Moon in Law Giving Libra - also Venus ruled Pallas @ 20 Taurus (Sabian: Moving finger points to significant message in a book) with a confusing SQ to Neptune @ 23 Aquarius (SAbian: A man turning his back on his passions and teaching from his experience). This aspect indicates an overloaded nervous system and erratic thinking which of course describes our Senators.
This important vote was obscured with cover stories about Jesse Jackson insulting Obama or the big grandstand sotry about how new DNA Technology Clears the Family of JonBenet Ramsey - Please this is a blatant obscuration of actual history being made and revolution fomenting... especially with transiting Uranus retrograde near the IC.,
Transiting Venus is closely opposing the US Sibley Pluto @ 27 Capricorn right on the Money-Resources aspect as the Sub-prime crisis cuts deeper into our GDP-Credit and economic health. Yesterday as these cardinal aspects began to build with lunar ingress into Libra the writing was on the wall and the fix was in for the Telecom's. Listen to this broadcast with Rachel Maddow Guest Hosts Countdown The mutable energies of Mercury building to an exact opposition to Pluto both @ 29 degrees to reflect the most critical positions exact @ 2:49 AM July 10th. Mercury-Gemini represents the Telecom companies as opn enemies in the US Chart's 7th and Pluto the secretive and destructive effect of the shadow government crossing our nations first house.

List of Senators who just sold you down the river: Where are the true patriots?
Today's article in the Free Press International asks if John McCain will be attending July 11-27, 2008 Bohemian Grove? This article which downplays the entire Boho-Bilderberg and Illuminati connection as Mr.Woowoo goes to camp. Yes this article talks of the Masters of the Universe in jest with references to Nixon's comments about homosexuality. Clearly nobody in any media is taking in account astrological aspects for John Sidney McCain. An examle in the Tri Wheel below tells of a progressed Neptune, Juno, Moon and Mars all in Virgo in the 12th and trine the Capricorn Full Moon @ 26 Capricorn (Sabian Symbol: "a Mountain Pilgramage" A ritualistic combination is topped off by secondary progressed Mercury-Sun together in Mars ruled Scorpio very powerful from a ritual standpoint especially since transiting Mars-Saturn are together in their martial dominant best in close orb sitting in the 11th of group associations. Also another somewhat political revolutionary event per the planets is a transiting Vesta @ Taurus applying to a conjunction with his progressed-natal Uranus @ 7 Taurus which could mean a Ritual Dedication to McCain's race for the Whitehouse. This will be the year that many will no longer scoff at Icke with tongue in cheek passages which veil the truth: "However, according to Icke, members of this secret sect—including the aforementioned George H.W. Bush as well as Hillary Clinton—shed their human skins once a year and can be detected by their slitted, reptilian eyes."
Transiting Moon opposes his natal/progressed Pluto riding a red horse reminicient of the depression era. This years Full Moon Coincides with the Bohemian Grove Event Is Demeter on Strike Again?
The heat alone is in seeming destructive partnership with the massive conflagrations burning the hillsides will make this one of the most difficult Boho Events... It will seem like the normally clean air around the Monte Rio resort will be filled with unhealthy smoke. So here we have the patriarchy in ceremonial robe laughing like naughty children like Mcain the III while Cali burns. Lots of opinions about what really takes place at the Bohemian Grove When we arrive at the Full Moon on July 18th we may find that things are progressively worse economically with Sun-Moon across the 2nd and 8th axis. This Full Moon at 26 degrees Capricorn will presage a dangerous cardinal T-square formation between Saturn, Uranus, and Pluto coming in August 2010. The last time this rare cardinal TSQ happened was in 1930-1931 during the great depression. During this July 18th lunation, both Mars-Saturn (ruler of Moon) are sitting on the DC chart's IC and Ceres is almost exactly opposed Jupiter. With Ceres (Demeter) the Goddess of Agriculture and Grain in Cancer we find that nurturance on all levels is on everybody's mind, especially the most basic survival level: Food. Just like the time in legend when Persephone was kidnapped by Hades-Pluto, our earth seems to be on strike as floods, hail and tornadoes have hammered America's breadbasket, while at the same time fires are choking the west coast. Many of us will feel like the crab who retracts its head back into the safe, protected shell till the rest of the world cooperates.
Kali Ma is Angry On the Full Moon Just as food was a main topic at the recent G-8 meetings which actually are leading up to the Bohemian Grove Event, both Ceres-Mercury (recent ingress July 10) are opposing Jupiter (now in the 4th with scarce Capricorn making us all think lean. Note that having mental Mercury in highly emotional sign of nurturance next to Ceres -the Goddess of Agriculture not only creates eating disorders but puts even a false sense or even exaggeration of what is true sustenance. The Sabian Symbol for 27 Cancer on the Full Moon is "A storm in a canyon" (per Dr. Mark Edmond Jones, page 266) which deals with intensification of the untamed forces of nature. The Mother Goddess like the Moon has dual forms. Beside the gentle aspects there are the terrible ones known as Kali, Medusa, or the Sea Serpent, Typhon, dispatched by Zeus. The July 2nd New Moon has a Jupiter opposition to Sun-Moon-Venus all in the sign of the mother. Jupiter's opposition to the Sun has already forced legal, moralistic decisions via the Supreme Court laws, but next month a new level of judgment will occur. Kali has many faces in India and even if many of them are projections the notion of her terrible fierce fury is well known. As tectonic plates shift and extreme, even shocking, weather mirrors the mutability of Mercury-Gemini SQ Uranus-Pisces exact on July 5th. Besides the upcoming Mars-Saturn conjunction in Virgo, there is a difficult square from Juno to Mars. Juno in Sagittarius in US Sibley first house in stressful aspect to Mars will deal with difficulties in cooperation with foreign powers along with other problems involving domination and subjugation in partnerships. From July 24th till the end of the month explosive, fiery confrontations could occur.
Each lunation in 2008 has it's own unique galactic and spiritual flavor and tommorow's new moon in mothering sign Cancer at 10:19 PM is no exception. Today's Mars ingress into another feminine sign: Virgo (related to ISIS) brings us face to face with our own health and ideas of true service upon this planet. Even the Mayan calendar has the Galactic Tone 9 (patience) in the sign MANIK or Deer. The spirit of the deer with is about sacrifice and upholding the pillars of the four directions relates well to the protection offered by mother goddess. The primary symbol for this watery lunation is Kwan Yin. the merciful. Kwan Yin means “She who hears the cries of sentient beings." Kwan Yin, as also known as "Guanyin", had vowed to never rest until she had freed all sentient beings from samsara (cycle of reincarnation or rebirth in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism and other related religions). Other forms of this healing goddess include, Tibetan Tara, African Yemaya and the South-American Virgén de Guadalupe. All of these incarnations offer unconditional love and assistance in this world: blessings of children, health, and long life including rescuing people from drowning, lightning, and poverty
If there ever was a time when we needed the spirit of Kwan Yin upon this planet it is the Cancer lunation on July 2nd. The New Moon in Cancer this year claims spiritual marks of destiny per the chart set for Washington, DC @ 10:19 PM. The asteroid Nemesis is conjunct the N Node near Chiron and opposed S Node (Karma) representing the spirit of divine retribution against those who succumb to hubris. Bellatrix a fixed star in the constellation Orion, is the Heliacal rising star speaks of success born of struggle when we have to face our demons. Regulus and Mars are together rising in paran, linked to violence and destructiveness where one can gain great success but if they stoop to revenge, face a swift fall from grace. Nemesis may target some like the Neo-cons, who have bankrupted us with an illegal war that exhibits this form of overwhelming pride, self-confidence and arrogance. GWB one of the world's most famous Cancers has his solar return on July 6th (so does the Dali Lama born a few years earlier). Bush has transiting Mercury-Uranus SQ across his N Node-Uranus conjunction in Gemini in the natal 11th. This conflict not only deals with 11 house issues like community associations and special interest groups but the legislature, Congress and the Senate.
Aquarius is rising @ 12 degrees is Quincunx the Sun-Moon in Cancer indicating that some big time adjustments are coming. Uranus, modern ruler of Aquarius in the 2nd house of the economy includes supply and demand, the manner in which food and other resources are produced. is applying to a SQ with Mercury in the 4th. We should expect some bad news in the area of real estate and agriculture. Already the amount of foreclosures is creating a glut of houses on the market. In a report by the Case-Shiller home price index on June 24th: Home prices across 20 major U.S. cities have dropped a record 15.3% in the past year and are now back to where they were in the summer of 2004. The N Node, Chiron and Neptune are all together posited in the first house representing the image of the nation and outer persona of it's people. This represents people thirsting for progressive, future oriented change that won't stomp on their history of freedoms. The Sabian Symbol for 12 degrees Cancer Sun-Moon: "A Chinese woman nursing a baby with a message" Per Dr. Marc Edmund Jones (Sabian Symbols page 250). This symbol tells of a message to humanity filled with empathy and intuition. Alice Bailey, astrologer and writer of Esoteric Astrology had Mercury in this degree and did offer spiritual insights for the future. Vesta, the asteroid that rules devotion and commitment to service, along with sexuality, enters Taurus right before this lunation. In Taurus, Vesta brings a persistent focused effort which can bind together social groups. Kwan Yin, who was concentrated in her devotion, will be of tremendous help. Whether our challenges involve tragic events dealing with violent weather, earthquakes or other situations of overt aggression (7th) she will offer solace. Notice that this Mars has recently moved into Virgo for a dangerous meeting with Saturn exact on July 10th. Again worries of another a war with Iran are surfacing, perhaps via a militant incursion by Israel.
June 24th News of Complete Home Price Decimation in US Surfaces.
Link WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- Home prices across 20 major U.S. cities have dropped a record 15.3% in the past year and are now back to where they were in the summer of 2004, according to the Case-Shiller home price index released Tuesday by Standard & Poor's.
Even Charlotte, NC is feeling the price drop - a first. With Sun-Ceres-Venus all in Cancer Opposed newly retrograde Pluto and ruler of Cancer that moody, domestic and shelter crazed Moon now in Pisces Waning has lots of aspects. From the disturbing SQ to Mercury also a mutable sign, this time Gemini. (We are also preparing for a second SQ to Uranus on July 5th. Of course as Moon meets Uranus again in Pisces tomorrow - it ain't business as usual as we approach the cardinal events with an Aries Moon ingress on July 25th @ 7:49 PM blowing the cover on national denial. US Sibley Sun-Venus-Jupiter are all caught in the cross fire for July! Chart Set for 7:19 PM on July 2, 2008 in San Francisco (Northern California) Sun and Venus both in Cancer are contraparalell Jupiter in scrooge-like Capricorn by declination adds to low prices. Jupiter is closely opposed Venus which reflects falling home prices besides a great time for social events like marriages if you cna deal with wildfires in califonria. floods in Illinois, Iowa or tornadoes on the great plains or southeastern california. Since we are examining a chart set for San Francisco Bay Area having Pluto in first retrograde and still in orb of Mars now in Virgo coming near Saturn for a fated meeting on July 10th and to Vesta just arrived in Taurus for values under transformation dealing with homes (4th)
A gay couple Del Martin, 87, and Phyllis Lyon, 84 really marked the old in Jupiter transiting in Capricorn as they inaugurated the state’s court-approved and potentially short-lived legalization of same-sex marriages starting at 5;01 PM in San Francisco. Of course Jupiter representing the law giver is only one factor present with this historic event.
When we examine the chart above we see that Mars in joyful, celebratory Leo stands proudly at the Mid-Heaven @ 21 + degrees. Mars is also the focal point of YOD (finger of God-Goddess) with both Jupiter and Uranus sextile and quincunx. With such a configuration, the idea of peace on this planet is attainable. The Sabian Symbol for 22 Leo: "A carrier pigeon with a message alights before it's master. Musing over the missive's content, the man strokes the birds feathers and mentally composes a response. " This is an image that conjures an openness to spiritual inspiration and our hearts if we are not to stay attached to the illusion of family values. I say this because Mars is applying to a major opposition to Neptune on June 21st. and we are in a time when actions, motivations, and initiatives like this seem both objectionable and questionable for some. Neptune @ 24 + Aquarius Retrograde is not only a factor in unrelenting floods, oil and gas skyrocketing to destructive prices but also to psychological dissolution where rational thought is challenged by intuitive perceptions and confusing unconciousness. The Sabian for 25 degrees Aquarius: "A scientist pokes a chrysalis with a probe, whereupon it breaks open and a beautiful luna moth emerges, left wing first." The preceding image invokes a time when mysteries are unfolding on lots of dimensions despite antagonism to coming changes. This ceremony had a surreal carnival atmosphere as several hundred supporters and protesters chanted, cheered and jeered in equal measure...
Having Mercury retrograde and opposing the Moon does not help the atmosphere of sensitivity since the strong emotions engendered by these ceremonies could lead to some crazy misunderstandings. Not technically the best time to get married since Mercury will move direct on Wednesday morning @ 7:31 AM PDT. Yet Wednesday when the Sagittarius Full Moon occurs at 10:30 AM PDT, things will not resume to normalacy in any sense of the word. Yes this is a new day as history is happening all over the world not just in California.
Both Sun and Venus are Opposite Pluto and we are seeing some power struggles play out as relations are strained from an electional point of view not the best time to get married at least in a personal one on one sense. In the collective sense, a great time to offer real transformation the thousands of years of cruelty and control that have existed on our planet.
Sagittarius Full Moon Together with Pluto Moves Us Toward the Solstice. One of the most active and sensational Full Moon explodes on the scene June 18th @ 10: 30 AM PDT or 1:30 PM EDT This mighty lunation has all four elements and elementals working at warp speed reflecting the raging review of all other planets retrograde. (1)Fire With Pluto the Great Transformer and Lord of the Deep Underworld moving back into the strong fire sign Sagittarius...Plus Mars near South Node in fixed Leo fire already ravaging with conflagrations all over the world (2) Water Element Uranus in oceanic pisces representing the shocker... Underwater Volcano Eruption Off Oregon Coast as Uranus is ready to station retrograde @ 22 Pisces 39 on June 27th (3)Air Element: Neptune Retrograde in the sign of ferocious wind Aquarius brining F 5 tornadoes and possibly hurricanes to Carribean-Florida. (4)Jupiter now retrograde in Cardinal Capricorn expanding earth events from quakes to sinkholes now sesiquadrate Saturn also in Earth but direct in mutable earth for some real, difficult adjustments.
Known as both the Full Strawberry Moon and the Rose Moon we have the 2008 June Swoon or Full Monty of Earthyly-Spiritual crossing - A name universal to every Algonquin tribe. While in Europe they called it the Rose Moon. Also because the relatively short season for harvesting strawberries comes each year during the month of June.
Looking at the chart above for deeper interpretation: Uranus is Quincunx Mars with a Sabian Symbol: the materializing medium which conjures up a ghostly mysterious presence which is quite apt sitting on the 8th house cusp and ruled by Neptune. As I have stated on my site the Neptune-Mars Opposition is strong perfecting on June 21st just in time for the solstice creating hysteria and many people are driven more by ideology/belief systems then firm basis in reality. This is a time when religion gets in the news along with fires and other disasters are tornadoes. Big shaker to traditional religious precepts for all Christians especially Catholics. Christianity's FIRST church uncovered in Jordan? These ruins have been uncovered and is believed to be the first church in the world, dating from 33 AD to 70 AD. Quote: " We have evidence to believe this church sheltered the early Christians - the 70 disciples of Jesus Christ. " Talk about confusion and counter productivity just as he is finally being called on the carpet for impeachment or prosecution for war crimes, George W Bush comes up with another fog screen. GWB and Pope Benedict XVI have held an intimate meeting in Rome as rumours mounted in Italy that the president may follow in Tony Blair's footsteps and convert to Catholicism!
Whether we are talking about a railroad bridge collapsing over the Cedars river or swarms of quakes in the Virgin Islands, Reno-Verdi Mogul Nevada or Baja California some of the same forces are at work. Primary focus is Uranus in Pisces ready to station retrograde on June 21st same day that Mars makes an exact opposition to Neptune... Railroad bridge over flooded river in Cedar Rapids collapses The Cedar River poured over its banks here Thursday, forcing the evacuation of more than 3,000 homes, causing a railroad bridge to collapse and leaving cars underwater on downtown streets. Most outstanding aspect Uranus in Pisces 22 degrees (over water)Sabian: "a materializing medium." in 90 degree aspect to Venus @ 22 Gemini ("three fledglings nesting in room.") and to Sun @ 21 degrees Gemini both ruled by Mercury now retrograde... Oh yeah Neptune in mutual reception to Uranus and known to dissolve the strongest structures is now opposing Mars-South Node in Leo. Scorpio sits at the IC or homeland where 4,000 homes were evacuated on Thursday. Uranus in the 8th house domicile meant sudden, shocking change to the residents of Cedar Rapids. June 11th Tornado Kills 4 in Iowa Boy Scout Camp Looking at the chart for Blencoe where four teenagers were killed and 48 people were injured when a tornado tore through a Boy Scout camp in western Iowa on Wednesday night...we see N Node, Chiron-Neptune all in Aquarius near the IC - as you can see their ruler Uranus sits right at an angle in the 4th SQ Mercury-Sun in the 8th of Death. Mercury was a trigger just as Mars in Leo is a trigger for death of young people these days.
A Super Moon Looms Just like the New Moon on May 5th which brought Cyclone Nargis, tomorrow's lunation @ 12:23 PM PDT is dubbed a Super Moon per Richard Nolle. Super Moons are in perigee (closest to the Earth). We may be in for another round of extreme coastal tides, severe storms and major seismic activity (more magnitude 5+ earthquakes and volcanic eruptions). Using AstroCartography we see that a strong line formed by Sun-Moon-Venus-Mercury runs from N to South @ 111 to 115 West Longitude from Canada thru the Rockies down to Baja. NOTE: Mercury line crosses Uranus around 51 to 54 N and 104-106W from New Mexico up thru Denver and onto Canada. Also a potent Mars line stretches from the Aleutians (crossing Uranus for some shaking) to just east of Hawaii (crossing the Chiron-N Node-Neptune line) to emerge just off the southeast coast of Africa before jutting up through the Middle East and out through Siberia. All these areas are subject to unusual storms and seismic fractures.
My feeling is the most potent of the three Super Moon's will be July 2nd with Cardinal Cancer @ 12 degrees. The July event will have Sun-Moon-Venus-Ceres all applying to an opposition with Jupiter now @ 18 Capricorn.
Mutable Means Change This New Moon features a prominent alignment of Venus-Sun-Moon all closer together at about 14 Gemini with the Sabian Symbol: "two people living apart in telepathic communication." A time when psychic flashes and intuition may prover more reliable then traditional communications networks. When we bring in Mercury @ 19 Gemini now retrograde and still in orb of a square with Uranus to keep causing more disruptions and weird erratic changes with psychics world wide buzzing about coming natural disasters. Yet despite all the possible tectonic or extreme weather changes, the real story is that Mars in heartfelt Leo is bringing us lots of courage to change our minds and open up to compassion. Now that Ceres in Gemini is moving quickly towards an opposition to Pluto on the Full Moon, there will be lots of letting go. A great realignment A great realignment involving communication, transportation, local communities, and a resurgent inner spirituality began last May 26th. At this time Mercury moved retrograde less then an hour before Neptune stationed. In Greek myth, Hermes was the messenger, the trickster, associated with merchants, thieves and patron of roads and boundaries. He rules the two signs, Gemini and Virgo. For full integration, Gemini needs to move from the specific to the general and Virgo from the concrete fact to the larger picture. Hermes was a traveler in all three worlds from the higher realms of the Gods to the earthly denizens of us humans to the guide who guaranteed souls safe passage in the underworld. We may all meet Hermes in some form or another during this Gemini period. Uncontrollable Forces Within and Without This is a month when it’s necessary to have the two phases of personality on speaking terms and in harmony. As powerful as the fixed signs were in May, the volatility of the mutable energies will be a rival. The effect of the mutable, or common signs, grappling with the uncontrollable forces of outer planets Uranus, Neptune and Pluto in June will be extreme. The chart above set for San Jose and the West Coast has N Node-Chiron-Neptune all together in the 6th house of health, service and labor. We should expect news about certain persistent health issues or even a major advancement in the world of healing fatal diseases...Police, workers and strikes will all be prominent now as more people are starting to realize that they have to become their own volunteers in order to make a change.
Here in California under a nebulous, chemtrail sky heavy and dense, I await the rising Wesak Moon now that Scorpio is Void of Course on the cusp of much more exhuberant Sagittarius @ 8;18 PM PDT Astrology of the Wesak Moon Jupiter the ruler in tight sextile to the cosmic shocker Uranus @ 22 degrees - an aspect which perfects on May 21st @ 11:08 AM activating a false economic wave with stocks rising for a few months. Uranus is the planet of Mass Tonight's Full Moon besides the critical 29 degree Sun and Moon has the focal point of the Yod (Finger of God) @ 22 degrees S. Node in MidHeaven over the West Coast and at the base of that triangle is Jupiter 60 degrees away from Uranus both Quincunx to the Dragon's tail in super-dramatic Leo now bolstered by Mars in this hot and dry sign...Notice how the Sun has been really changing since meeting with Central Sun Alcyone (heart fo the Pleiades) this year.
Energies are definitely building to a crescendo as with the Scorpio Moon @ 29* 27' with a certain ominous dark Sabian Symbol of the Halloween Jester ready to pull more pranks on a hysterical human race...a modern image talks of " a criminal walking among the revelers at a Halloween ball wearing the mask of a boar." aren't we in the year of the boar? This degree of Scorpio catalyzes the Midheaven of the foundation chart for Israel, Lebanon's Sun (more trouble there), Fiji's Neptune (illusions of coups and certainly more quakes) and Tonga's connection to Neptune with a real shocker to come to Antiqua-Barbados with this degree of the Scorpion meeting Uranus! As for 29 Taurus 27 we have connections to the Midheaven for Yugoslavia, Uranus for Romania, the MidHeaven for Cuba and finally last but definitely not least the MidHeaven for Vatican City. The Sabian for 30 Taurus is a bit more stylish and coloful: "A peacock spreads its feathers on the grounds of an old mansion."
Before we get even deeper into the Wesak Festival and the spiritual nature of chart, let's take a quick look at the Venus SQ Neptune aspect which perfects this evening @ 11:28 PM creating an atmosphere for resignations, defeats, mystery and illusion. Just three days ago we passed the MidPoint of the Galactic 5th “Night” in he Mayan Calendar - a period of time that began on Nov. 19th, 2007 and finally ends on Nov. 12th, 2008. Despite tonight's Wesak Lunation(also known as the Festival of Buddha and Festival of Enlightenment) we are deep into a time when many are ready to break the bonds of the NET super-imposed around our planet thousands of years ago. A time when many want to rise above the ignorance and superstitions that have been placidly accepted via religion and other authorities.. With Saturn now direct and moving toward an exact opposition on Nov. 4th 2008 - the masses no longer are so complacent in this cycle of life. The question is how they will become active participants bring about change in this tumultuous world. I say it is much safer to telepath with the devotees on Mt. Shasta celebrating Wesak which is commemorated during the full moon in May then adhere to the masses around Obama or Hillary or McCain. Wesak is considered to be the holiest day of the year, when Heaven and Earth are connected and these candidates all are using this force to further old agendas. A politcal-social struggle based on firsts First time we have had three generations in a presidential race. Obama (born Aug. 4, 1961) representing the X generation (Pluto in Virgo) has Mars @ 22 Virgo Opposing transiting Uranus and his own Uranus @ 25 Leo SQ Neptune creating a mass of true beleivers. Leading the baby boomers (Pluto in Leo generation) Hillary (born Oct. 26, 1947)with Moon @ 22 Pisces is getting a major boost for her form of autocratic rule. Finally from the time of the silent majority (Pluto in Cancer gen.) comes John Sydney McCain III (Aug. 29, 1936) with Venus @ 22 Virgo keeping a firm grasp on family values while riding the tide of the Neptune SQ with Juno @ 24 Leo and dramatic Mars @ 12 Leo catching the wave of current transits.
So what's all this about Blue Beam? Well the current fixed Neptune aspects starting with a Sun SQ then today's Venus SQ and finally a Mars-Leo Opposition on June 21st. Mars opposing Neptune on the nodal axis is probably the most powerful known as a time when actions, motivations, and initiatives seem questionable and often counter-productive. This is a time when institutions like the Vatican tend to be driven more by ideology or belief than by reality - hmmmm... Didn't the Vatican's chief astronomer and scientific adviser to Pope Benedict, say that there's no conflict between the Christian faith and the existence of extraterrestrials? Then we hear that Guy Consolmagno - Vatican Astronomer and major Jesuit player, commissioned by the Vatican to write a booklet on incorporating Extraterrestrials into Vatican theology, talk about Baptizing Aliens. Finally Padre Corrado Balducci - Vatican Head Demonologist and advisor to several Popes appears on Italian TV saying that Aliens exist. WTF - A Setup For Sure
PROJECT BLUEBEAM
Wesak Moon and the Yods and Mystic Rectangle. Prominent are two Yods and a Mystic Rectangle. It is no accident that the Yods alternately point at both Jupiter (stationing in Capricorn) and the South Node, both in the master number of 22 degrees, which bring gifts from the past. The first Yod has Mercury in it's rulership, Gemini, and combines with Ceres to enhance communications, and sextiles the South Node in Leo, with spiritual focus on Jupiter (esoterically the realm of the ascended masters). With the second Yod, the Jupiter sextile to Uranus is demanding freedom. This puts the finger of god onto South Node in Leo requesting that the gifts of heart and generosity are deposited with all spiritual adherents. Chiron, Neptune and North Node of future destiny are all close together in Aquarius, trine Mercury in Gemini, creating a space for tremendous healing on many planes. Also a mystic rectangle (composed to two oppositions that are sextile to each other) marks this lunation. Inspiration and creativity are dominant with air and fire elements: Juno in Sag. sextiles Neptune in Aquarius and they oppose Mercury/Ceres in Gemini and S Node in Leo respectively. Astrologically the end of May (the 26th) and following the Wesak Moon, Neptune and Mercury station retrograde offering a time to revisit the beauty of this powerful time of invocation and merging with future planetary enlightenment. Don't forget we all have free will to only believe our own senses not some freakin' holograms!
Even with a lovely Venus-Moon conjunction today (May4) the dark of the moon with rising images of Balsamic Visions has not been calm. Juno (goddess of relationships both fair and squre) is applying to a conjunction with the dark lord Pluto recently retrograde back on April 2nd. That day just three short days before the last New Moon in Aries also had a spiritual signature of Moon occulting Neptune (happens once a month now with Neptune in collectively, revolutionary Aquarius). So today we had Neptune exactly meet North Node of destiny @ 10:56 AM PDT gathering all the souls for a massive spiritual thrust both within and without. Mystery of Mary Magdalen and Jesus Revealed? The new moon occurs on May 5th at 15 Taurus 22. Per Dr. Edmund Jones in his book The Sabian Symbols (page 194) the Sabian for 16 Taurus: "An old man attempting vainly to reveal the Mysteries". This speaks loudly (Taurus rules throat-larynx) of an unwavering integrity and higher vision, and an strong determination to dramatize it. On May 9th a new movie premieres in New York then the West Coast on May 16th. and it deals with recent finds which prove Jesus Christ was married to Mary Magdalene and they had a child. A recent ABC interview with Bruce Burgess (born Feb 15, 1968) with an Aquarian Stellium that is conjunct current North Node-Neptune and a Mars- Chiron Pisces conjunction opposing Uranus in Virgo which is substantiating the proof of this claim. Othe ther press conferences are starting to get the word out.
You will see below in this article a that the current trines to Uranus are breaking lots of the ancient taboos and walls around the sacred...
A TIME FOR CROP CIRCLES With excessive, expansive belief oriented Jupiter stationing in Form Oriented Capricorn @ 22 degrees matching a time in 1993 when Uranus-Neptune were brining crop circles in tremendous regularity to the UK. Again with the combo of Pluto's Cap. ingress and Jupiter moving backwards to sacred geometry merging with sacred art. Again the mighty circular and harmonious forms will be visible.
Tornadoes and Cyclones Mercury ingress into Gemini and Capricorn's Ruler stationing direct to trine Pluto-Venus in EARTH. Arkansas deadly tornadoes during a Mercury Void of Course period with a prominient Neptune-NNode Quincunx inundating, wet and moody Mars in Cancer. A physical manifestation: tremendous damage caused by a tropical cyclone in Myanmar on Saturday which has South Node culminating on Monday's New Moon west of a Mars Line. So what does all this have to do with tomorrow's New Moon in deep, earthy fixed Taurus? Everything...
Early am the eta Aquarid meteor shower peaks and is visible on Monday, May 5th, and Tuesday, May 6th. Best visibility is during the hours immediately before sunrise. So the Aquarius is represented with Neptune-North Node and Chiron all opposing the royal dominion of Leo representing the Dragon's tail...gifts of generosity are coming from the past along with a fading of the old dominance of kings and queens. Pluto and Juno culminating among other Astro Cartographic Lines out West Using astrocartography we find these two unlikely partners culminating way out to sea between 137 W to 139 W all the way from Antarctica to the Arctic. Folks up and down the west Coast are nervous to say the least as multiple quakes have hit off the Oregon Coast primarily 158 km ( 98 mi) W of Bandon, OR and in the last three days literally swarms of tremors in the ANDREANOF ISLANDS, ALEUTIAN IS., ALASKA...Not to mention the literally hundreds of quakes in the Reno: Verdi-Mogul, NV region around 39 N to 120 W. right around where Venus-Hygeia-Sun-Moon are crossing Jupiter culminating in MC and stationing retrograde on May 9th. New Madrid is marked by Chiron running right thru this fault line and North Node culminating on the East. The epicenter of the recent S. Illinois/Missouri quakes right in the middle at 38.450°N, 87.860°W
The chart above set for San Francisco shows Venus-Hygeia-Sun-Moon all together in the first house perhaps reflecting a movement to build true health after some rough economic hews caused by the wholesale price index moving up with the price of oil. Well one thing is for sure the Mars transit thru Cancer now in the 4th house of domestic values has not only brought a stoppage to the movement of goods thru the West Coast as ILWU (International Longshore and Warehouse Union) was successful in Shutting Down West Coast Ports May 1, Demanding End to War in Iraq, Afghanistan.
Background The great restructuring of earth, reflected in our socio-political and economic upheavel, begun in earnest after Pluto entered Capricorn back on January 25th. In esoteric astrology, Taurus works with Pisces, via Vulcan and Pluto (secret ruler of Pisces), in order to channel the first ray of Will and Power. Ideally this combination should lead to the transmutation of desire into sacrifice, and of the individual will into divine will; but we do not live in a perfect world. Yes as Pluto continues to retrograde the Galactic Center all the way to 28 Sagittarius 29 to station on Sept. 9th we will have crossed over many of those same areas of abandon as we did in 2007 yet Juno pushes buttons faster to transmute emotional, sexual and power urges towards regeneration. The other part of the Fixed Cross is Scorpio the empty part of the chart were jealousy and possesive nature is met head on The ritual murder-suicide of the DC Madam won't stop the revelation of Washington and Global leaders sexual escapades.
Uranus the Trickster Strikes again. Modern ruler of Aquarius pushes the envelope... This chart has three Uranian aspects moving forward towards the Wesak Moon on May 19th @ 7:11 PM but this time with South Node at 22 degrees Leo. Speaking of the Wesak Moon and that degree for SNode near MC: "a bareback rider in a circus thrills excited fans." Mars @ 5 degrees in performance oriented Leo is in an out of sign trine to Moon now @ 29 Scorpio plus parallel Sun, semisextile Mercury and for the topper Sesquiquadrate or a 135° angle(a square [90°] + a semisquare [45°]). to Uranus. Which can be a bit stressful or having evil portents when falling between two important planets.
(1)An Applying Sun Sextile Uranus which perfects on May 12th for more innovative thinking and unusual conditions (2) Applying Venus Sextile Uranus perfects on May 18th Hailing even more incredible events and First Time Happenings which will occur. Plus Uranus which symbolizes group activities and the masses or throngs bringing about behaviors are highly erratic to say the least - stimulated by the Internet. (3) Applying Mercury Square Uranus which doesn't actually perfect till June due to Mercury moving retrograde on May 26th @ 22 Gemini. This has a nice happy sabian symbol: The barn dance which symbolizes not only a gregarious mood but taking a new step in the dance of life. Of course we may find communications are interrupted and subject to some breakdown along with weather changes. Unquestionably transportation will also have glitches and be unstable. Media will seize on hocking news, more then likely some attacks on governmental and authority figures around the world. Plus a nice heavy dose of controversy, innovation, and protests will ring in this aspect.

Taurus, the first of the fixed signs has been called the most material with keywords like "I have" and relationship to currency as in money. Actually Taurus which is one of the "sustainable signs" including Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius by pursuing peace, awareness and the essence of comfort actually tunes well into the heart of spirituality. We are getting ahead of the story which always seems to lead to the Blue Moon of Buddha or the Wesak Moon in May. Let's backtrack to this morning. when the Sun shifted with full speed ahead today as Sun entered Taurus @ 9:55 AM...Just yesterday Mercury which has moving at a rapid pace almost 2 degrees a day changed from rapid-fire Aries to slower less verbose Taurus. Here we have Mercury first with a trine to Pluto then after tomorrow's lunation the Sun trines Pluto creating an aura of power intentsity and mystery especially with Scorpio Moon @ 00Scorpio 43 applying to a trine with Cancer and fitting Pluto the modern ruler. Sabian for 1 degree Scorpio: A Chinese emperor and the barbarian princess being interviewed, The empoeror finds her obstinate and resorts to threats, the Princess whistles and summons her giant dragon, who flies down besides her.

Luna and The Pleadies Together at Sunset - A Turning Point in the 5th Galactic Night
Perhaps you have looked at Spaceweather.com and found out that tonight at sunset is a chance to view a spectacular astronomical event. The Seven Sisters, the Pleiades a cluster of stars 400 light years from Earth will be touching a Moon newly ingressed into Gemini. "The brightest seven of these blue-white beauties form a little dipper visible to the naked eye even from urban areas. The Moon will come so close to the Pleiades, they almost overlap!"
This exquisite celestial event is the essence of timing with yesterday's new round of the Mayan Tzolkin begining and today's Mayan Day Sign: IK (Wind) representing the breath of life or spirit disseminating new ideas upon the planet. As we approach the midpoint of the 5th Galactic Night in May - a turning point in the march to the elite Armageddon fantasy. Today the hot seat was reserved for General David Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker who described progress in Iraq as fragile and reversible. Even Doris “Granny D” Haddock, 98, who spoke in Gettysburg on Sunday April 6th says Bush is guilty of treason. This grand old lady of the peace movement made sure we hadn't forgotten (Mars-Cancer active memories) : Saddam Hussein, several weeks before our attack, invited our military to come in and look at anything they wanted to look at. As Granny says: "Creative leadership is not the essential ingredient. We need leaders who can inspire the American people and the people of the world to move in new directions quickly. " Aries Sun-Pallas-Mercury and Venus all taking us in a NEW direction...
7 Sisters Work Together to Regain and Redress the Years of Injustice Tonight is more about a wind of change symbolized by the fact that the main seven stars of the Pleiades (intimately connected to all ancient civilizations including the Mayan) are now by longitude in the sign of Gemini. From Alcyone the queen who wards off evil storms and daughter of Æolus (guardian of the winds) to Asterope or Sterope - `lightning', `twinkling', `sun-face' Some myths say she was ravished by Ares and gave birth to Oenomaus, king of Pisa. In other versions , Oenomaus was her husband, and they had a beautiful daughter, Hippodaima, and three sons, Celæno - `swarthy' - who had two sons Lycus (``wolf'') and Chimærus (``he-goat'') fathered by Prometheus Electra or Eleckra - `amber', `shining', `bright' Wife of Corythus; seduced by Zeus and gave birth to Dardanus, founder of Troy, ancestor of Priam and his house. There are other identities for Electra including a daughter of Oedipus and daughter of Agamemnon and Clytæmnestra. Maia - `grandmother', `mother', `nurse'; `the great one' Obvious connection to Mayan race. She was the eldest and most beautiful of the sisters; a mountain nymph in Arcadia. Seduced by Zeus and gave birth to Hermes. Later became foster-mother to Arcas, son of Zeus and Callisto, during the period while Callisto was a bear, and before she and Arcas were placed in the heavens by Zeus (she as Ursa Major, he as either Boötes or Ursa Minor). Merope - `eloquent', `bee-eater', `mortal' Married Sisyphus (se-sophos, `very wise'), son of Æolus, grandson of Deucalion (the Greek Noah), and great-grandson of Prometheus. She bore Sisyphus sons Glaucus, Ornytion, and Sinon; Taygete or Taygeta Seduced by Zeus and gave birth to Lacedæmon, founder of Sparta, to which she was thus an important goddess. In some versions of the story, she was unwilling to yield to Zeus, and was disguised by Artemis as a hind (female red deer) to elude him... On many different levels this evening represents a turning point in today's world as the feminine nature of our planet is demanding a change from the old ways of war and patriarchy.
Below the chart set for sunset in San Francisco where the Olympic Torch has arrived has Mars-Cancer @ 14 degrees in the 9th of foreign influence in a tight TSQ with Astraea (jusotice) @ 15 Libra Retrograde opposing Pallase @ 13 Aries (bold stategist filled with courage). All the goddess energies are lining up to retrieve a reverence for beauty that was lost 11,000 years ago.
