Today is more than just a New Moon and Annular Eclipse in mutable Gemini, which in itself is significant. Today marks the start of a new way of thinking and mendacity.
Actually we are now in the middle of a battle for consensus reality on the Internet or what it was formerly known the Darpa Net. For many this is time of revisiting the battle for war and peace that drove the the mid-sixties when Uranus-Pluto where together in Virgo. Today at the Nato Summit we seem to be having a replay of the drama that occurred at the democratic convention in 1968 as Uranus-Pluto in cardinal signs are heading toward their first waxing square on June 24th:
Police, protesters clash outside NATO summit
This is a time of manic, hysterical and wild awakenings for the inhabitants of this planet as the earth herself is not holding back.
Looking back on yesterday, May 19th and a powerful but shocking opposition of the Sun in the last degree/minutes of Taurus (the Anaretic Degree or Karmic Degree) Opposing Juno..not to mention a Jupiter opposition which is building, the earth accelerated her activities.
In other words early in the morning of May 20th in Northern Italy (Bologna, Italy) at 4:03:52 local time sesimic shockwaves . Strong earthquake strikes near Bologna in Italy upgraded to Magnitude 6.0
As you can see from this picture, buildings crumbled under this series of quakes.
May 20th. first @ 8:16 AM the Sun changed signs from more inflexible fixed Taurus a sign of the epicurean and sensualist into a more intellectual, literary and curious Gemini. Gemini is the sign of quicksilver, superficiality and cynicism where constant motion and activity is favored
Then @ 4:47 PM the New Moon in Gemini begins on the West Coast of the USA. and the eclipse starting around 5:30 PM on Sunday May 20th.
New Moon's are times of visions and new ways of looking at things and with Gemini this will mean communication, education
and data collecting. Newer agendas and inspiration mix with passions since Mars in Virgo is applying to a square with Venus now retro in the sign of the twins. There is a strong push for new initiatives to take us into the future.
After the eclipse we have a rather confusing and strange Lunar square to Neptune in Pisces @ 10:23 PM
Religions overtones, institutional dramas in prisons and hospital along with artistic/entertainment celebrities and their endeavors will continue to make the news along with scandalous happenings. This is a time to stay grounded in reality!
In fact this aspect translates the light from the upcoming Sun-Neptune square on May 23rd. In fact with the Sun-Neptune in hard aspect expect more resignations, scandals, and other uncertain conditions to make this a difficult time to make accurate predictions.
Sunday May 20th. begins the "eclipse season" with the first of four eclipses for 2012: First an Annular Solar Eclipse @ 4:47 PM PDT. Then on June 4, 2012 right before the Venus Transit on 6-6-2012, a Lunar Eclipse/Full Moon in Sagittarius @ 4:12 AM PDT.
On the Partial Lunar Eclipse the Moon will be in the sign of the archer-Sagittarius @ 14 degrees 14 minutes. The Sabian Symbol being the "ground hog looking for his shadow."
At the time of today's eclipse the Sun and Moon meet Alcyone - "The Central One" and the central or main star, the largest star of the Pleiades or Seven Sisters. Alcyone which is one of the most mystical fixed stars has been considered to have a mixed blessing. As you know the Pleiades have had deep connection with many cultures living on the earth into the present.
when conjunct the Sun or Moon Alycyone has been connected to extreme weather activities including major floods and also fires.
Alcyone is said to bring honor and glory along with new politcal undertakings but also throat ailments, blindness, bad eyes, injuries to the face, sickness, disgrace, wounds, stabs even imprisonment.
Today's New Moon occurs @ 0 Gemini 20 degrees with a Sabian Symbol seemingly more suited to Pisces
"A glass-bottomed boat drifts over under-sea wonders." There will be a connection to the ocean during this eclipse especially with the Sun-Moon square Neptune in Pisces. Many supposed prophets are predicting a literal tsunami and news of oceanic disasters. I say look beyond those changes even if they occur and consider a renewal of the earth's vast seas and resources.
Visibility for the eclipse :
The annular phase will be visible from the Chinese coast, northern Taiwan, the south of Japan, and the western part of the United States and Canada. Guangzhou, Taipei, Tokyo and Albuquerque will be on the central path. Its maximum will occur in the North Pacific, south of the Aleutian islands for 5 min and 46.3 s, and finish in the western United States.
The animation below demonstrates the eclipse action over Albuquerque, New Mexico
The chart set for 5:47 PM MDT in Albuquerque, New Mexico has Scorpio rising just like others on the West Coast. Scorpio rising continues to put emphasis on Mars (action) and Pluto (transformation-debt and death). Mars@ 10 degrees Virgo is in the angular 11th house of groups and associations forming a Grand Earth Trine with Pluto in the 3rd. and Vesta (dedication) in Taurus and located at another angle in the 7th. A major event will definitely occur in this New Mexico region by the Summer Solstice on June 20th. The Heliacal Rising Star for the Eclipse crossing Albuquerque is Al Rescha or Al Risha a star found in the the Knot of the Cord in the Constellation Pisces. This star which is also rising over San Francisco, Chicago and New York symbolizes a person who an bring ideas and/or people together.
The Heliacal Setting Star for the Eclipse crossing Albuquerque city is Zubenelschemali, Zubenelschemali is a pale emerald star marking the Northern Scale of Libra and relates to both positive and negative social reform.
Today's eclipse begins at 5:30 pm PDT and lasts for two hours. Around 6:30 pm PDT, the afternoon sun will become a luminous ring in places such as Medford, Oregon; Chico, California; Reno, Nevada; St. George, Utah; Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Lubbock, Texas. Outside the narrow center line, the eclipse will be partial. Observers almost everywhere west of the Mississippi will see a crescent-shaped sun as the Moon passes by off-center.
Part Two will Follow
Tommorow's Full Moon in Scorpio is generating a lot of ominous buzz from astrologers and those who are prone to emotional waves. The occult, the shadow side of life and primal passions are boiling and aroused to say the least. The Scorpio Moon will pick up speed in the morning with sextiles to both Mars and Pluto (twin rulers of the Scorpion. Before the Full Moon hits the last of the explosive Mercury Aries transits in hard aspect occurs, this time to Saturn (exact 6:09 PM UT). The Moon will be not only at 16 Scorpio 01 degree with a conjunction to fixed star Zuben Elgenubi - indicating major social reform.
The Heliacal Rising Star for the chart set for London @ 3:35 AM on this powerful but strange full Moon is Deneb Algedi -a star in the Sea Goat's tail. called the "Judicial Point of the Goat" per Robson. This again is about the rule of law or the rule of justice. Supreme court decisions and major legal cases are set to be completed. Symbolically it is about desiring the legal, physical or metaphyical laws that govern the world. For the chosen it can bring great glory, fame, wealth, dignity and authority with the help of influence.
the Heliacal Setting Star is Zosma a multicolored triple star on the Lion's rump, near the tail of the Lion. Zosma is about victimization or being made powerless.
Zosma relates to sacrifice yet independent, one who would prefer death rather than servitude to an unloved career. This also relates to the wounded healers who become advocates for equality. This is pertinent since Mars, ruler of this chart is opposing Chiron in Pisces.
Jupiter will be at 21 degrees 47 minutes of Taurus expansion of pleasure seeking, food trends, farming, abundance, extravagance in art. Note that this is a critical degree: 21 degrees of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius are critical degrees but with a tendency to misfortune.
Where there is Venus the Goddess there is surely Mars, the Warrior.
Below is a chart set for May 6th @ 3:35 AM UT in London England with Aries rising
and Mercury in aggressive Aries in the first house. Right before the Full Moon Mercury exactly opposes Saturn (@ 2:09 AM UT). This has already been an explosive transit
like all the preceding Mercury-Uranus conjunctions in Aries or the last Mercury square to Pluto on April 25th. Looking back to 4-24-2012 Huge Blast rocks central Damascus
Lunatic Alert for extremists of all signs especially on the fringe of the pseudo occult. Yes there will be rituals and sightings of famous illuminati members creating a world of illusion and paradox. The bottom line is that another "super-Moon" is in the offing. We should expect some major earth changes both in the Northern and Southern Hemisphere. This perigee full Moon starting in May will be as much as 14% bigger and 30% brighter than other full moons of 2012.
Venus met El Nath by longitude/aspect at Sunset on May 4th.
On he Full Moon over London or SF. El Nath is rising with Venus via paran putting even more emphasis on the anti-social or should we say contra-social aspect of this Full Moon.
Yes the brillant Evening Star, Venus, was not alone meeting the Second-magnitude star El Nath is less than a degree away
Per Robson: Venus with El Nath is favorable for gain, while enemies who are powerless to injure (El Nath the horn in the constellation Taurus).
El Nath marks the tip of the northern or left horn of the Bull.
Venus will also be conjunct Capella (constellation Auriga), Phact (constellation the Dove ) Phact is about the quest for adventure. Venus also conjuncts Bellatrix (marking the left shoulder of Orion the Hunter.
Bellatrix is the known as the Amazon star or Roaring Conqueror - the Female Warrior who succeeds via the shadow side of life. Bellatrix with Venus is the rogue.
Whether you are a rogue or a conventionalist those who want to succeed and overcome will be aided also by a Grand Earth Trine. This trine will involve
Mars in pragmatic yet pedantic Virgo to Vesta-Ceres-Sun in fertile Taurus and to Pluto now retrograde in Capricorn offering a behind the scenes approach.
The Grand Earth Trine also coincides with major earth changes especially since the ongoing Uranus-Pluto waxing square is affected. Speaking of sudden seismic shifts
and volcanoes erupting as the earth herself continues in this "ascension" process.
Energies deep within the earth's core up toward the mantle and ready to burst are much stronger during this lunation and the subsequent days after.
On May 5th at the Full Flower Moon the ruler of the Taurus contingency, Venus is @ +27 degrees 49' North by declination marking a long period of time till June 2nd when this goddess of love and beauty is Out of Bounds and wild. This is a time when the limits are being broken in these arenas.
A new element is added to this Extreme Venusian Saga - asteroid Nemisis @ 22 degrees Sagittarius Rx is closely opposing our Goddess of the feminine and harmony.
In Greek mythology, Nemisis or "the goddess of Rhamnous" relates to divine retribution against those who succumb to hubris (arrogance before the gods). On Saturday's Full Moon Nemisis and Venus will be only 28 minutes apart!
As I have the "War on Women" is in synch with this OOB period which started on April 2nd) Venus transiting in Gemini will enhance communications, aiding more of us to talk about our feelings of love and senses. The Out of Bounds Venus triggers us to go beyond limits in those more feminine areas of VENUS - Goddess of Love, Beauty and sensory pleasures is reacting to a critical, pedantic yet service oriented Mars in Virgo
This Full Moon will be exciting, highly transformative, dangerous from the overly extreme nature inherent in the above configurations. Scorpio as I have mentioned in a previous entry is rising over San Francisco at the time of the Full Moon. This adds a
an investigative element to this lunation when the phoenix will rise as the revelations about the truth behind the news is brought into the light.
The Heliacal Rising Star over SF. and the West Coast is is Al Rescha or Alrisha which is the Knot of the Cords, which joins ends of the ribbons that binds the two Fishes by tail in the constellation Pisces. In this placement Al Rescha will help bring together
differing ideas, concepts and knowledge much like joining the two hemispheres of the brain. Another factor relating to this Rising Star involves the disparate opposition of Mercury-Saturn but in a positive light. Per Ptolemy
"Those stars in Pisces which are in the head of the southern fish have the same influence as Mercury, and, in some degree, as Saturn...those in the tail and in the southern line are like Saturn, and, moderately, like Mercury. This is the joining of the Northern and Southern Fishes. This star will help join many of the extreme ideas and crusader-like concepts to a more, solid grounded footing as the Grand Earth Trine
continues.
The Heliacal Setting star over the West Coast is Vindemiatrix a bright yellow star in the right wing of the constellation Virgo- the Virgin Angel.
Vindemiatrix is the collector and a person driven to complete things.
Vindemiatrix is culminating as Venus is Setting adding to cultural change.
In this position we should expect a real boost to agricultural production and research
which of course relates to Jupiter in Taurus. Consider the original name and myth per Robson: Vindemiator, the Gatherer of Grapes, represented Ampelos, the son of a satyr and a nymph, to whom Bacchus, in token of his fondness, gave a vine planted at the foot of an elm. While gathering grapes Ampelos fell and broke his neck, whereupon Bacchus, God of Wine and reveries, placed him among the stars as a memorial of his former affection.
There will be some major news about the grape producing regions of California and the West Coast. The sustainable farming movement will be one of the best parts of this Full Moon.
Speaking of Beltane or Beltaine, tommorow is the time of converging celebrations, protests and rituals. In Neopaganism, Bealtaine was considered a cross-quarter day, marking the midpoint in the Sun's progress between the spring equinox and summer solstice. The astronomical date for this midpoint is closer to 5 May or 7 May, but this can vary from year to year In 2012, the mid-point occurs on the Scorpio Full Moon which occurs @ 8:35 PM PDT set for San Francisco. One more thing as we look a this Scorio/Taurus axis is a Gaelic festival celebrated in Ireland, Scotland and the Isle of Man. Bealtaine and Samhain (Oct. 31st) were the leading end dates of the civil year in medieval Ireland, though the latter festival was the more important. The interplay between the dark and light is quite obvious in this chart below where Scorpio is rising @ 23 degrees 03 minutes - Sabian Symbol: "Crowds coming down the mountain to listen to one man." Christian symbolism you say but the Moon is @ 16 degrees Scorpio 01 minutes with this odd Sabian Symbol: "A woman the father of her own child."
With Mars so prominent in the chart above at Mid-Heaven and opposing both Neptune and Chiron there is crusader aspect to this day. Not to mention that Mercury in Aries is in an exact opposition to Saturn in Libra. use of foreign enemies. Consider that training events are happening all of the US in May.
This is from Minnesota U.S. Troops In Neighboorhood Streets Fully Armed
Also another story which is striking fear into the hearts of Chicago Land:
Is Chicago now under Martial Law? Evacuation and Blockade of Downtown Chicago
The Illinois Department of Transportation is testing an emergency plan to shut off access into and out of downtown Chicago. The plan uses a network of highway security gates that are designed to shut down all traffic coming in and out of Chicago in the event of a terrorist attack.
Now last year at May Day per this article by David Icke centered around the Royal Wedding - But energetically, Beltane is not just May Day. It begins to build through April 29th and on to April 30th for its culmination on May 1st. The Roman celebration of Beltane was called Floralia, the Festival of the Flowers in honour of the Roman goddess, Flora, and ran through April 29th and May 1st. Native Americans also called the full moon in May the Full Flower Moon – of course flowers are abundant everywhere during this time. Other names include the Full Corn Planting Moon, or the Milk Moon.
April 21st. Today's New Moon @ 2 degrees Taurus happens in the early morning around the world from 12:18 AM on the West Coast to 7:18 AM UT in other parts of the world.
The Sabian Symbol for 2 degrees Taurus - An electrical storm. may not seem appropriate at first since Earth Day coincides with this pragmatic salt of the earth lunation but considering the weird weather, thunderstorms and tornadoes
leading up to this lunation it fits.
In the UK where the New Moon has a curious, versatile and highly mutable Gemini rising @ 22 degrees we see another (Sabian Symbol) "Three fledglings in a next high in a tree." Birds that are ready to take their maiden flights.
Angry birds strike again. On Thursday, there were three high profile incidents of birds flying into jet engines.
Bird Strikes Hitting Senior Obama Administration Officials' Planes including Biden
Fixed Stars at UT
In this chart set for 7:18 AM UT Deneb Algedi the Heliacal Rising Star
Deneb Algedi has been strong in March/April with high profile court cases. Deneb Algedi a star in the Sea Goat's tail. According to Robson is symbolically called the "Judicial Point of the Goat".
Regulus, the heart of the Lion is the Heliacal Setting Star one of the Royal Persian Star and the Watcher in the North. Since Regulus is setting the next couple of weeks will bring news of a worldwide celebrity or leader who has natural talents but will be attacked by rumors.
Gemini Rising in the New Moon chart for UK/UT relates well to the symbol of birds and with a close square to Pallas in mystical Pisces. Pallas in Gemini enhances the theme of psychic, faith healing along with guided imagery. With Pallas in Gemini in this 90 degree aspect there is merging and diffusion which occurs in conjunction with spiritual techniques along with film and movies. In this chart Venus in flirtatious Gemini is in the 12th house @ 14 degrees. where secret loves and eroticism can blossom.
The other side of Venus in the 12th is to underscore the Sun (Taurus) spiritually oriented trine with Neptune in Pisces.
Venus Retrograde from May 15th to June 27th.
I digress to emphasis the fact that Venus will station retrograde on May 15th @ 24 Gemini and won't move direct till June 27th @ 8:07 AM PDT @ 7 degrees Gemini.
When Venus, the sign of love, pleasure, relaxation, harmony, money and values is retrograde there is more obsession in relationships along with doubts about love that is offered. In fact we may notice that relating others could be more awkward.
With Venus retro. we are likely to find our ability to attract or magnetize what we want restricted or inhibited. Many people will be more concerned with achieving or external beauty, enhancing the flow liquid cash, questioning your ideas of pleasure, aesthetics, or even revaluating their feelings about romantic relationships.
This solid New Moon acts as a gateway for several world initiations and rebuilding efforts
New Moon over San Francisco and the West Coast with Fixed Stars
Sagittarius is rising at the degree of the Galactic Center describing swift changes
within and without the bay area. Jupiter though is the ruler of the chart and @ 17 degrees Taurus in the 5th house will light up the music, singing and entertainment industry.
Looking at the Fixed Stars for this New Moon over San Francisco, California we see:
Fomalhaut is the Heliacal Rising Star from the constellation the Southern Fish (Pisces Australis) Fomalhaut, is one of the Royal Persian Stars or one of "four Guardians of Heaven", sentinels watching over other stars. When rising per Robson brings great and lasting honors This royal star also aligns with the archangel Gabriel (Fomalhaut) watcher of the South.
Fomalhaut which bestows magic on charisma on this lunation and stimulates dreams and ideals for a better world. Also deals with a hubris or pride which can bring downfalls.
Denebola the non-conforming tale in the Lion constellation is about finding alternate solutions to problems
by stepping outside of the established order. My guess is that not only will this involve the much touted silicon valley entrepeneurs but much more pervasive reaction from the populous.
April 21st. Today's Venus ruled New Moon will signify a calmer day with much of the action happening in the morning
with the Taurus Moon Sextile Neptune in Pisces @ 2:25 AM
A greater sense of spirituality meets sensitivity and compassion now.
Our intutition is strong.
Since the Moon Trines Mars @ 5:12 AM it is a time of action but also
the formation of a Grand Earth Trine
Today's Grand Earth Trine features the Moon Trine Mars in Virgo and trine Pluto now retrograde in Capricorn
At 4:25 PM today the Moon trines Pluto which helps us let go of inhibitions and opens us up to major transformations.
This is a major trine which is helping the earth herself rebuild and will include tectonic earth changes.
In fact today's Grand Trine is a preview of what is to come when the Sun trines Mars on April 23rd.

One thing for sure there was a major shift as the Sun entered Fixed Taurus on April 19th. @ 9:12 AM the sign of the farmer with the symbol of the bull and minotaur.
Since the Sun is on track to meet Ceres (nurturing with food and sex) and also Jupiter (ethics-morals) expanding all things Taurus

Ahead of the influential Venus Transit on June 6, 2012 @ 1:10 AM UT - we should expect a boost to all things involving Venus and women. Mars now direct will be transiting in orb of a square with Venus, Goddess of Love in Gemini. On the last Full Moon in Libra (Venus ruled) Mars and Venus were square. We have seen how Mars-Venus in hard aspect amplifies unbridled passion and desire to succeed with stimulating a liberal amount violence, jealousy and mistrust. The Venus tranis which is a rare, twice in a lifetime occurrence. This transit always happens in pairs, 8 years apart, but those pairs can be as much as 105.5 to 121.5 years apart.
Venus is connected with a nations resources and finances through bankers, financial institutions and farming. More importantly Venus relates to the 7th House where Hilary's N Node resides in Taurus. This relates to foreign relations, treaties and/or disputes, business relationships, agreements.
The chart below has the outer wheel as Hillary's natal chart Oct. 26, 1947 with Scorpio rising at the powerful 22nd degree along side Mercury and S Node in Scorpio. The inner wheel dipicts last Full Moon in Libra over Washington DC.
Notice that Hillary's power packed Saturn-Pluto-Mars all in dominant Leo in the 12th house of hidden secret groups, secret government entities and enemies within.
More importantly her Moon @ 22 Pisces is conjunct transiting Mercury getting her more publicity
and changing her image.
There are many predictions and prophecies from Mayans to Mystics, that the Venus transits change the course of history. In the following article by Richard Giles, he look back at the last several occultations: in 1518/26, 1631/39, 1761/69 and 1874/82 and the patterns presage great shifts in human consciousness.
The transit of Venus over the Sun in tropical degree 15 degrees. Gemini 41 minutes
The Sabian Symbol: A woman agitator makes an impassioned plea to a crowd. with the obvious reference to a woman who is forceful as a leader. Some one like Hillary Clinton - It appears that she is letting loose while her star is shining with her Natal Sun identity - leadership @ 2 degrees Scorpio is now opposing Ceres in sensuous Taurus when she was in her photo op. Livin' la vida loca! Hillary Clinton knocks back a beer and dances the night away at a Colombia nightclub
You may remember that on April 3rd right after Venus entered Gemini,
Venus met fixed star Alcyone (the principle of inner vision but judgemental which enhances poetry, music and theatre. Alcyone, aka "The Central One", Alcyone is themain star and also the largest star of the Pleiades or Seven Sisters, the seven stars that are situated on the shoulder blade of the Bull.
Per Robson: Alcyone causes love, eminence, blindness from fevers, small pox, and accidents to the face.
Looking at the other really big news out of the Summit of the Americas - the Sex Scandal which mars Obama's wooing of Latin America
Notice that the interpretation of Venus in conjunction with Alcyone stimulates immoral, erotic passions, disgrace through sex and sometimes sickness, loss of fortune.
Are we seeing a changing of the guard? Will Hilary be able to move her chess pieces further since this "prostitution scandal involving U.S. security personnel in Colombia and an unprecedented regional push to end the isolation of Cuba threatened on Saturday to eclipse President Barack Obama's charm offensive to Latin America."
Hillary dancing (her natal Mercury trines transiting Mercury in Pisces) dancing into the VP position and taking more power in this faltering administration.
It seems that in this year of 2012, things keep building toward one big events to the next. We are even seeing similar events cross in kind of a multi-dimensional wave. One of those big events will occur around the Libra Full Moon on Jan. 6th and on Jan. 7th with Mars in an exact square to Venus. God of War in a battle with the Goddess of Beauty. From early January 2012, the anticipation built on MSM propaganda for the Iowa Caucus on Jan. 3rd. to the Concordia Disaster which happened this year the One Hundredth Anniversary of the RMS Titanic disaster the night of April 14/15, 2012. Yes we continue to move from large event like yesterday's Tornado swarm in Dallas/Ft Worth. Since January 23rd the day the Year of the Black Water Dragon began and when Mars stationed and moved retrograde controversy and revolution have jumped the graph's limits.
On January 27th for instance there was an X-2 Class flare and by March, both X and M-Class flares were commonplace. In fact just yesterday the destructive power of tornadoes was filmed and broadcast to millions.
So as we rush toward this coming Full Moon with Moon-Saturn together in Libra to cool things off and demand tough negotiations...But the opposition to Sun-Vesta-Ceres in wild, chaotic Aries a dangerous turning point might be looming. In my previous blog entries like this one for the Aries New Moon on March 22nd. I have mentioned the power of the Super Moon and its theorized
effects on the earth's tectonic plates. Synchronized with this Paschal Libra Full Moon aka the Pink moon of the Phlox flowers a perigee point is reached.
The moon will arrive at its perigee point on April 6th @ 10 PM PDT or on April 7th at 17:00 UT (1 p.m. EDT.
The chart below is set for Washington, DC @ 3:19 PM EDT on 4-6-2012 two months away from both the Venus Transit and the Lunar Eclipse.
In the chart below, Leo is rising @ 26 degrees 26 minutes with the chart's ruler the Sun in the 8th house of death and taxes. Strikingly Mars is intercepted in "critical" 4 degrees Virgo
opposing Neptune and Chiron in Pisces (relating to water and oil) in the 7th. The descendant or 7th house relates to open enemies and trading partners - all of this will involve the oceans and waterways around the USA.
Consider that Libra is co-ruled by Venus, and Venus now opposes Juno in adventurous Sagittarius. So the nodes of destiny (future and past) are in play and crossed by the sign of the prepper, Mars in Virgo. Mars in this highly analytical sign fo the Virgin is retrograde and frustrated. Mercury has finally stationed and even in his fall in perplexing Pisces it is getting better. It won't be long before, Mars, the warrior and athlete can finally move direct on April 12th. Except that Mars will be in orb of an opposition to Neptune and Chiron for awhile as more news of the Elgin Gas Leak in the Atlantic surfaces with the help of Greenpeace. Greenpeace Observes 'Oily Sheen' Miles from North Sea Leak Site Thus with Mercury also in Pisces now direct the truth about the serious environmental impacts of this ongoing gas leak are coming out. This is a leak which has been ongoing since March 25th off the coast of Scotland in the North Sea. Also news of more dolphins dying off the coast of Peru is finally being revealed with Mercury direct in Pisces. 615 dead dolphins found on Peru beaches; acoustic tests for oil to blame?
The complimentary and oppositional qualities of Venus and Mars are in play. Here we see themes which concern the feminine and masculine aspects of desire and sexuality being in played out with the mutable cross. Consider that Venus representing the force of attraction and Mars representing the force of assertion and Mars move direct then Venus moves retrograde on May 15. setting up these same dynamics into June 2012. In the chart above all four angles are covered with Venus and S Node at the apex (past gifts and themes). Venus in the sign of the Twins near the S. Node and all that implies from twin events to physical twins and other reflections of duplicity.
Fixed Stars for the Full Moon set at 3:19 PM EDT in DC:
Algol is culminating at Mid-Heaven - the passionate of the Ghoul is featured in a life of fighting against injustice, either for yourself or for others. The attempt to "achieve justice" in the Trayvon Martin case will continue with highly obsessive and fanatical mass movement. Note: Saturday April 7th will be a crucial day as the Moon begins in Scorpio, the sign of retribution hosts a Mars-Venus square in mutables: Virgo-Gemini.
Deneb Algedi is the Heliacal Rising Star again dealing with judicial and legislative issues.
New laws and an outcry for justice with shades of fantacism.
While Venus is conjunct Mirfak by degree and Mirfak the warrior in the constellation Perseus whose sword is raised in victory holding the head of medusa. Mirfak with Venus is about challenges Denebola is the Heliacal Setting Star.
Denebola the fixed star in the tail of the Lion represents non-conformity and connects with goddess worship form ancient myth. Since Denebola is the setting star over DC, more and more people will start to move beyond the restrictions of the established system.
Another portend relating to Denebola (now transiting in Virgo) involves sedition and the deaths of great men. Since Regulus has also been prominent in the last few lunations, we should expect something regarding some great leader passing during this Full Moon.
Approaching what has to be one of the true Dragon Moons of 2012, the Libra Full Moon on April 6th
we began to feel the heat rise all around us. Two of the primary influences of this Full Moon besides the Grand Mutable Cross are Mars and Venus. And today April 3rd.
One of the unusual aspects of this lunation is the 'Hard Rectangle', comprised of the Moon-Neptune-Sun-Mars. In the chart set for April 6th. @ 7:19 PM UT has multiple TSQ's along with even a Thors Hammer aka an Arrowhead, or God's Fist. In this Hammer configuration, Mars (Virgo) leads again along with N Node (Sagittarius) and Vesta (Aries) and consists of of two planets in square aspect (90 degrees) (Mars-N Node) and both in an octile or sesqui-quadrate aspect (135 degrees) to a third planet or asteroid in this case: Vesta @ 19 Aries near the Sun @ 17 . The energy of this aspect pattern is a little like a T-square, since it has stressful, dynamic quality.
In fact this hard rectangle includes the opposition from Mars to Neptune adding a decidedly spiritual but a series of weird overtones. For example out of Wisconsin where the Clintonville booms were heard, enter Baraboo and mysterious light flashes too. So this was on April 4, 2012, Back to the description of the hard rectangle, which consists of two oppositions, the ends of which are joined by two semi-squares (45 degrees) and two sesqui-quadrates (135 degrees). Both of these "minor" aspects are active and challenging leading to swift change. The sesqui-quadrates are about sometimes painful adjustments. Like the grand cross, this rectangle is a closed aspect pattern, which means that it is self-contained and fiercely self-sufficient generating lots of actual physical energies with the Sun/Moon on the axis of conflict/resolution. Fortunatly there is less resistance than with the grand cross because the hard rectangle belongs to the eight series of numbers. I see this Hard Rectangle dealing with the integration of spirituality into daily life. Also preparing us for the next series of momentous shifts as we move deeper into April.
Then toward the historic Venus Transit on June 5, 2012 @ 6:10 PM PDT or June 6, 2012 @ 1:10 AM UT.
Tropically the Sun-Venus will be @ 15 degrees 44 minutes of Gemini
Sabian Symbol:A woman agitator makes an impassioned plea to the crowd. That just about sums up these times of revolutionary upheaval with the Uranus-Pluto Waxing Square in sessio.
Suffice to say Venus Transits, historically have presaged shifts in human consciousness.
More on the Venus Transit in June 2012 and the Full Moon Partial Eclipse, the day before in future blogs.
On this Waxing Crescent Moon in Gemini, there is an abundance of electrical energies and lots of conversations about how things will be in the future. Today the Moon meets the SNode (all those informational gifts from the past) come into play. By opposing Sagittarius and Juno in Sagittarius, there are no limits to how fare we can go. Except that with these two signs we have movements/travel near and far. We should expect even some mass evacuations like this story out of South Korea: Philippines readies evacuation of Filipinos in South Korea
On one hand the the current mutable cross is dividing light and dark while the hard squares to Mars and Neptune then Chiron and Pallas are reflecting mutations.
A more descriptive metaphor touches on the biological process of metamorphosis.
Since Mercury is a ruler of Gemini and the Moon squared Neptune in the morning (@ 7:40 AM)
craziness and confusion dominated. IE with Moon/Gemini-Neptune/Pisces in hard aspect there will be misunderstandings along with news around travel and temporary insanity. JetBlue pilot flips out, subdued by passenger
All day long there was a potential for electrical disruptions involving weather like in Guatemala when the lightning struck a transformer @ 6:20 PM CST Guatemala: A lightning caused blackouts throughout the country
Using fixed stars take a moment and look back on some of the themes of the last New Moon
besides the biggie with Deneb Algedi known as the judicial point of the goat found in the tail
of the Sea Goat - Capricorn. As the Heliacal rising star in New Moon charts around the world from the UK to Washington,DC
the challenge of justice being served is paramount especially with the Trayvon Martin case creating furor and outrage with everyone including Oprah.
BACKGROUND THEMES WHICH CAN BE ACTIVE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS
Uranus representing the Mass of public opinion and public expectations
Uranus is Setting when Diadem is Rising
Diadem from the constellation Coma Berenices near Aries
Again we see the theme of he sacrifice of the innocent
Uranus is Rising when Algol is Rising - the hyper-passion of the Demon Star
Rebellion, the anger of the common people
Uranus Culminating when Alpheratz is Culminating
People being affected by new technology - too much dangerous technology.
Listen to Regina Dugan, then director of DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
This is not such a magical place for many - And if we knew we could not fail we would renew the earth and all living things into a Garden of Eden - Not drones for war:
Today's Aries New Moon has been anything but quiet! Aries is normally a time activism, courage, massive energy, enthusiasm, inspiration, risk-taking and for March 22nd that was the case. The day was crackling with new energies as the Aries Moon exploded into the scene @ 2:57AM PDT/5:57 EDT. Right from the start, this was a total contrast from the emotionally-draining nature of yesterday's Pisces Moon. Notice a chart set for Washington, DC as Gemini is rising with the S Node
@ 8 degrees: Around a closed down factory, strikers mill defiantly. This sabian explicates the anger and frustration of the crowds calling for the arrest of George Zimmerman, the watch leader who has told police he shot Martin in self defense. Mercury ruler of the chart is on the 11th house cusp of crowds, groups and associations across the country. Making this voice resound in amplification is a conjunction to the Sun-Moon-Uranus all in the sign of the Ram. In the chart below Mars is posited at an angle in the 4th house close to an exact 180 degree angle away from
Chiron who represents a mid-point between Pallas (a goddess of justice and political activism) and Neptune the dreamer. Chiron in this chart acts as a mentor to derive healing from wounds, sacrifice and pain.
Whether we were in Clintonville, Wisconsin or Montello, 80 miles away where the mysterious booms, sounds of fireworks and rumblings were driving people crazy, the entrance of the Sun in Aries
(March 20th. @ 2:15 AM CDT). Watch video below
The rambunctious Aries Moon was primitive and even brutal whether we were in Sanford,FL or Toulouse, France or Oaxaca, Mexico where an earth quake swarm is building Everywhere the power of he Ram was evident. Also let's not forget that we are in the year of the dragon:
Right before the New Moon even begins @ 10:37 AM EDT, Mars the ruler of this explosive lunation, transiting in Virgo (retrograde) opposed Chiron in Pisces (direct)@ 7:22 AM PDT.10:22 AM EDT, and related to news of news of the Trayvon Martin case.
The Trayvon Martin case has drawn national and world attention and is a perfect metaphor for Mars-Chiron in a striking opposition like a Ram charging forward. Mars the planet of conflict represents civil servants, including the police and oppression all over the US. Chiron (the wounded healer) in the sign of the martyr Pisces Trayvon Martin's death is playing out with calls for redress
TRANSITIONS: "So much can change in a single moment. This morning in Veszprem, Hungary, Monika Landy-Gyebnar photographed the sun as it moved across the celestial equator, suddenly transforming winter to spring above.
As astrologers, we are acutely aware of the moon's phases much less than the biggies like the transition from winter into spring. Today, March 20th @ 5:14 AM UT, the sun crossed the celestial equator heading north. Also at this time the Sun made an explosive ingress into Aries. A few hours later a 7.4 quake hits Mexico, damaging hundreds of homes and is still shaking. Here is a link at USGS to the growing list of moderate to strong quakes following the precursor 7.4 seismic event. Refresh frequently because we may had another situation like Haiti where literally thousands of quakes hit after the initial 7.0 blast.
Looking quickly at the chart set for 12:02:48 PM CST in Huajuapan de Leon, Oaxaca, Mexico we see that Gemini is rising @ critical 29 degrees Gemini in an out of sign square with the newly arrived Sun and retrograde Mercury. Of course Mercury as the ruler of the chart near Uranus meant, the unexpected and swift communications via social media. forums, the web about the sudden shaking of this temblor. Also news that this was considered one of the strongest to shake Mexico since the deadly 1985 temblor that killed thousands in Mexico City. Looking at the chart we see Mars ruler of the Aries planets (at the top of the chart) was opposing the Moon and Chiron in Pisces indicating multiple injuries and panic from the aftershocks. Mars is in a long, beleaguered retrograde phase and is opposing Chiron (exact on the 3-22-2012 New Moon) and are crossed by the nodes destiny. Speaking of the nodes, North Node in Sagittarius was rising with Juno when the spring equinox began @ 11:15 PM CST on March 19th, just 12 hours before this monster quake. Yes the astrological transits fueled by he mutable cross and grand earth trine are mixing with a swarm of after shocks as we quickly march up to the 3-22-2012.
We all know that this time period marks the beginning of Spring in the northern hemisphere and Autumn in the southern hemisphere but this is not like any other Vernal Equinox. One reason for that this year Neptune is rising with the Ascendant in Pisces again on a 165 year return. Even the electrons in the Earth's outer radiation belt are significantly elevated.
Per Spaceweather.com:"analysts at the Goddard Space Weather Lab, the enhancement is caused by the aftermath of recent geomagnetic storms mixed with a high-speed solar wind stream." When we add astrological transits to the solar storms, we get the transits of Mercury-Uranus in Aries along with Ceres. But now we add the Sun in this fiery cardinal sign - we are not done with the X-Class flares or fliament ejections from our sun despite the fact that four new sunspots are temporarily quiet.
Oceans Away
Notice the chart below set for Greenwhich UK,, talking about Piscean themes from poets to oil wars to UFO's, we have it all. When the sun enters Aries, the Moon separating from a meeting with Neptune - a combination noted for the strange and supernatural. Highly mutable and deceptive situations are still developing framed by the daring and dangerous ala Aries.
The emotional and panicky Pisces moon was on a path to oppose Mars in the 7th to meet Chiron, the wounded healer, philospher and maverick. The warrior and belligerent theme is also playing out on many levels. In France, where it is now morning, the French police in standoff with suspect in Toulouse shootings. In an Aries confrontation, special operations police mounted their raid at 3:30 a.m. (10:30 p.m. ET Tuesday), shots rang out from inside, wounding two officers, police said. These potentially religiously motivated attacks stunned the world on Monday as a man driving a motor scooter pulled up in front of the Ozar Hatorah school and shot a teacher and three children. A chart set for 3:30 AM local time in Toulouse has Pluto -the lord of destruction near the ascendant square Uranus in the 3rd house of news and neighborhoods. The same house that is ruled by Mercury. The 11th house relating to supporters of this Algerian gunman has Scorpio on the cusp indicating, motives of revenge. While Juno-N Node are intercepted in both belief driven and foreign oriented Sagittarius. This standoff will not end well for the participants, since the suspect is probably under the illusion that he is a martyr.
In fact as all the multi-dimensional dramas play out big time tomorrow with the Sun meeting Mercury (now retrograde, compulsive and highly impulsive. This impending meeting is already yielding some major announcements but big news of hyped import is still imminent as the leaders gear up.
After seeing the video below and reading other predictions that on March 22, 2012, the Earth's Axis is expected to shift 5+ inches, I was curious to say the least since other information which clamied that potential 9+ magnitude quake happening.
Some believe will take place somewhere between California and Alaska...My investigation lead to both the chart below which has Uranus rising on the West Coast from Seattle to Los Angeles with San Francisco the closest location to the rising sign Aries with Uranus (planet of the unexpected event) and the ascendant Aries. The March 22nd lunation is also what is technically called a Super Moon of the perigee-syzygy of the Earth-Moon-Sun system Simply when the Moon makes it's closest approach to the Earth on its elliptical orbit, or perigee. This Lunar Perigee and Apogee Calculator shows that the moon on March 10th (after last full moon) was at 362399 km from the earth then on April 7th (near next Full Moon-Passaover) is even closer at 358313 km.
Looking at the chart below set for 7:37 AM PDT in San Francisco, the one thing I agree with Terral is that this will be a big day on many levels. Of course with Uranus and Pluto at potent angles from the 1st house to the 10th. we definitely should expect some Major Events to occur on the entire he West Coast.
I am not just talking about the potential for a 7.0 magnitude quake but also something involving the military since Mercury-Uranus are conjunct that day for the second time in Aries. Also with Mars (ruler of the chart) in an exact opposition to Chiron, maverick wounded healer, the role of the warrior and sacred warrior is being examined. Even the potential for some type of announcement as a precursor for "Martial Law?" Also perhaps more important is that Sun, which entered Aries on the Vernal Equinox
March 19th/20th. will be translating the energies from the forthcoming Uranus-Pluto square (exact on June 24th.) In fact the Sun (leadership-identity) will square Pluto (destruction-termination) exactly on March 29th. We will undoubtedly see the resignation of some major leaders.
We have already seen these type of abdications in the financial world with 358 RESIGNATIONS FROM WORLD BANKS, INVESTMENT HOUSES, MONEY FUNDS
The most critical time period is from this new moon in Aries to the critical first qtr. square in Aries on March 29th/30th. Strikes and protests are a given with this period of frustrations, unexpressed anger (Mars retrograde in Virgo opposing Chiron then coming close to an opposition to Neptune in April). Whether you want to believe in occult numbers like 322 or some mysterious heavenly body entering our solar system, we are in a for be a momentous time. This highly active moon will offer a glimpse into what will happen from June 2012 through March 2015 when Uranus-Pluto are in exact square 7 times, due to their own retrograde motions.
From upper left to lower right, the lights are Jupiter, Venus, and the Moon--all three bright enough to beam through wispy clouds.
I wasn't planning on talking about such a downer topic but I guess I will have to wait for another cosmic communique to go into depth about the upcoming positive alignment of Moon-Venus-Jupiter onto March 13th. . All in all best to start watching tomorrow evening when the Moon and Venus
are conjunct @ 20 degrees Aries - Sabian Symbol of the fighter with his/her fists raised: "A pugilist entering the ring. " Yeah every silver lining has a cloud especially when Mars and Saturn are both retrograde. Not to mention that we have seen multiple accidents occurring in and around Wednesday's exact Mars (now retro. in Virgo ) dangerous opposition to Mercury (confusing in Pisces)exact @ 3:25 AM 2-23-2012 but things did not stop there. Using reception and dispositors (the planet which is lord of the sign where another planet is located or "posited" using traditional astrology.) With Mars prominent in the sign Virgo - the servant both civil and military is ruled by Mercury now in his fall in the sigh of the two fishes. without looking far we see Mars relating to Aries where Uranus is square the lord of destruction, Pluto. There has been accident after another. Today- Friday Feb. 24th: Twelve killed in protests across Afghanistan
The religious wars over the Koran burning (Mercury in Pisces) square Mars in Virgo (books) where fomented on the religious oriented Pisces New Moon on 2-21-2012. a href ="http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/world/bagram/story-e6frg6so-1226277629148">Bagram base besieged after US troops burn Korans with rubbish
On Tuesday 0 2-22-2012 Military Collision: When the two U.S. military helicopters collided @ 8:00 PM PST over a training range, Virgo was rising and Mars was close by in the 12th
Ruler of the chart Mercury in confusing Pisces was near the Moon and the 7th angle adding to unsure conditions .
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Two U.S. military helicopters collided over a training range in Arizona on Wednesday killing seven Marines, the Marines said on Thursday.
Also on 2-22-2012 - Two cars crash behind reporter in Florida. Anchorwoman claims they were shocked by gas prices. (blame Mercury in Pisces)
With Mercury (Pisces-disease)close to an exact oppositon to Mars (Virgo-letters)
Poison Pen Letters are take to a whole new dimension.
This not only sounds like the 2001 anthrax attacks
and with Pisces so strong we have to shout hoax or false flag.
Another one on Tues. Threatening Letters Claiming to Have "Pathogens" Sent to Senators, Media Epic Train wreck in Argentina: Moon-Mercury in confusing Pisces
is heading toward an exact opposition with Mars in Virgo (Feb. 23rd)
Mars being the ruler of Aries ties in the mutable Pisces/Virgo to the accident prone cardinal aspects.
But since next two days with be high energy with the Moon in the sign of the independent and risk taker, teh Ram. will touching Uranus-Ceres and Venus in Aries will involve more crazy accidents, survival, bravery
along with women who become super-heroes. especially as the Moon translates the territory they made in squares to Pluto.
Also with Mars in Virgo (the Virgin) along with Venus in dare-devil Aries, we see the return of the Super Woman
Danica survived, unhurt on Thursday, Feb. 23, 2012 after a the nearly 200 miles an hour.
With natal Aries Sun-Moon - Danica Sue Patrick (born March 25, 1982) whose own Mars in Libra opposing Sun-Moon TSQ the Nodes in Cardinal Capricorn (discipline) and Cancer (protection) like Danica Patrick who was unscathed and racing again after wreck in Daytona 500 qualifier
Danica acknowledged this as "the hardest wreck of her career," a last-lap crash in which she got spun out and slammed nose first into a Daytona International Speedway wall going nearly 200 miles an hour. Looking at the chart below which has an approximate time of the crash @ 3:40 PM PST
and Danica natal (time unknown in the center). Not only was transiting Uranus in reckless Aries conjunct her Sun-Moon but the Mercury in the spiritual even miracle sign of Pisces was conjunct her natal Mercury along with that detailed Mars opposition where she threw her hands off the wheel to avoid injury. Also transiting Saturn is applying to her natal Pluto in Libra adding the super hero element in this amazing recovery.
Into March 2011
Looking ahead to Feb. 25th with with Sun-Jupiter are in favorable aspect:
Along with the danger comes luck, monetary gain and success as the Sun will sextile Jupiter on Saturday the 25th. Not to mention the brightest of all a Venus-Jupiter conjunction in Taurus (exact March 13th. ) we expect March to be a huge month for duplicity as we head toward a Grand Mutable Square. This shifting and unstable energy formation includes Mars (Virgo)
interlaces with a Grand Earth Trine - March 14th in time for the ides of March.
In fact two days before, Mercury stations retrograde on March 12th @ 12:49 AM PST
for an even more bizarre ride in the Media since Mercury is the sign of verbal outbursts in impulsive Aries (ingress March 3rd.)
Chart Below set for Pacific Time 3:00 AM when Pluto @ 9 degrees Capricorn is closes in a Trine to both Mars in Virgo and Jupiter in Taurus. The earth is ascending a lot faster than us humans
and we should expect some dramatic seismic shifts and volcanic outburts.
Then into the Spring Equinox on March 19th @ 10:15 PM PST with the Sun into Aries setting up some announcements involving aggressive and violent situations (hopefully not an incursion into Iran but Syria for sure). Those annoucements coincide with the Sun meeting Mercury on Wed. March 21st
right before the chaotic yet progressive New Moon in Aries on March 22nd as the Moon meets Mercury-Sun then Uranus for explosive times.
The Year of the Black Water Dragon commenced on January 23rd. with an awesome Aquarian New Moon and on Februrary 3rd. the Dragon is immersed in water with Neptune entering Pisces.
Tomorrow we see how the Dragon swims in his element, water with an incredible alignment of Piscean Planets mots notably Neptune-Pallas-Sun-Moon-Chiron. Not to mention that Mercury leads them @ 15 degrees (Sabian) An officer preparing to drill his men. And Mercury is set to oppose Mars on the long critical and frustrating journey retrograde in the sign of the Virgin and Critical scientist.
Vesta leads them all with diffuse, scattered and even martyr like energy in Pisces - where there is a blending of dreams, poetic memories and sexualtiy.
Despite all the imaginative imagery, we are in a time of major deceptions and distractions.
Yes my friends we are immersed in Jeremy Lin mania as Oil jumps to 9-month high after Iran cuts supply.
Just an aside with Jeremy Lin (born Aug. 23, 1988) with Vesta-Mercury @ 19 Virgo and South Node @ 14 Virgo is getting a boost from the Mars transit in his sun sign.
Another major theme to watch out for with the 12th House the home of Pisces are secret societies
like the Masons and some of their programs like the Masonchip.
In fact this recent video examines how the Masons microchip poor kids in exchange for food a few years ago at a Freemason sponsored fair in Flint, MI.
The last time Neptune made an ingress into Pisces was 164 years ago on Feb. 17, 1848 and this was the birth of "Spiritualism" Also Neptune relates to abdications, resginations and new territories with boundaries expanding - looking back
at 1848.
2-24-1848: King Louis-Philippe abdicates, 2nd French republic declared
3-20-1848: King Louis I of Bayern abdicates to marry dancer Lola Montez
5-19-1848: Mexico gives Texas to U.S., ending the war
5-29-1848: Wisconsin becomes 30th state
5-30-1848: Mexico ratifies treaty giving U.S.; New Mexico, California and parts of Nevada, Utah, Arizona and Colorado in return for $15 million
12-5-1848: President Polk triggers Gold Rush of '49, confirms California gold discovery
At that time (1848) there was a grand water trine with Chiron in Scorpio to Jupiter in Cancer (exalted) to Mercury-Saturn both in Pisces, Lots of emotional turmoil accompanied the Neptune ingress in 1848. As you will see below with the Feb. 3rd. ingress of Neptune this year, we have downright divisive and contentious actions and beliefs per the passionate Venus (Pisces) opposition to Mars (Virgo).
On February 3rd. we had the rebirth of "the Supernatural" more mysticism and channeling too along with Secret Societies with the newly birthed Neptune-Pluto Sextile applying from mutable Pisces to Cardinal Capricorn. This is a fantastical time with some darker, occult overtones yet ideally mystical hero theme/meme along with supernatural thrillers. Per astrological transit Neptune is in an orb of about 4 to 6 degree trine with Pluto all the way till 2024. which moves into retrograde motion starting April 10, 2012 @ 9:24:07 AM PDT while King Neptune won't move backwards till June 4, 2012 @ 2:04:30 PM PDT. The Neptune ingress was also enhanced by a Grand Air Trine per the Moon in Gemini aligned in 120 degree angles with Saturn in Libra stationing and to Pallas in Aquarius.
At the time of this Neptunian ingress 2-3-2012 @ 7:04 PM UT, Neptune's waves entered the Piscean seas Chiron-Vesta-Venus in Pisces
with mutable signs at all the angles from Ascendant to Mid-Heaven
Virgo was rising @ 9 degrees with this prophetic sabian symbol: "A man making a futurisitc drawing. "
The First Pisces New Moon with Neptune Conjunct.
On Feb. 21st the Moon will meet the Sun which entered Pisces (Feb. 18th) to make an incredible and confusing alignment
with Neptune-Pallas-Chiron-Mercury-Vesta all swimming
in the sign of illusion, music, magic, scandals, oil, water and limitless boundaries.
Update: February 20, 2011: Here it is folks the incredible Pisces New Moon begins tomorrow Feb. 21st @ 2:35 PM PST or @ 10:35 PM UT - look at the chart below along with the introduction the Year of the Water Dragon, Saturn Lord of Karma is in the sign of courts, legal rulings and balancing acts - Libra.
So Saturn transiting in Libra till mid-October reflects courtroom drama. The sign of the scales is none other than Blind Lady Justice with Acumen as the Heliacal Rising Star in the New Moon Chart. Thus Saturn in Libra is also connected to Pallas in Pisces and Astrea in Virgo (the asteroid that embodies the myth. Something tells me our courts are going to be very busy until about mid October, when Saturn finally goes into Scorpio and Pluto retro. in June gets some forward momentum moving direct on September 17th. Already we have had a Mercury in Pisces sextile to Pluto on Feb. 18th to translate the light
Saturn also connects to Pluto posited in the 3rd. house of communications and news media indicating a transformation that is about to occur on a world wide level.
Actually with a Pisces New Moon and the start of something kooky or spooked we could be alternately talking about Happy Feet and Global Hysteria!
This predominant Pisces grouping ultimately opposing Mars within orb is creating variable, fluctuating weather like in Miami on Sunday: Record-breaking heat in Miami, but only briefly While other parts of the Southern US receive heavy snow from Kentucky to Virginia to Tennessee to North Carolina.
Another symbol of this upside down New Moon is the 12th house which relates to prisons, prisoners
and rights of prisoners.
Just look at the recent news:
A deadly fight at the Monterrey prison in Mexico, as a prison fight kills 44.
This was the second deadly incident at a Latin American prison within a week.
On February 15, 2011: We had the horrendous fire which killed more than 300 in Honduras.
This prison fire fire started around 10:50 PM LMT on Tuesday, Scorpio was rising
Mars the ancient ruler of the chart was in the 11th house of groups-associations transiting retro. in Virgo and opposing the Pisces stellium in the 4th house relating to subterfuge and revenge by the prisoner who set his bedding on fire.
That's not the last of the Honduras inferno as Relatives storm Honduras morgue demanding remains keeping with the themes of the 12 house and death of children.
Then today - Feb. 20th. Hundreds of Occupy Protesters Gather Outside San Quentin State Prison
here we see Saturn prominent in Libra in an out of sign trine to Neptune.
We should look toward the aggressive and contentious transits of Mars in Virgo, we should note that another difficult aspect to Mercury in Pisces occurs on Feb. 23rd.
Funerals particularly of Whitney Houston and the theories of her sacrifice persist.
The Madonna Performance at the Super Bowl halftime show a week before her death on Feb. 11, 2012 - a master number for the occult members of illuminati like shadow groups. Even at the funeral home where her ritual ceremony was held. Egyptian theme? A statue of what appeared to be Tutankhamun outside the funeral home.
Unusual Historic Alignment with Both Neptune and Pluto
This article alludes to the Revolutionary War, they are speaking of Pluto - Lord of Death and Rebirth which entered Capricorn on 2008 and was last in Capricorn in 1759.
Don't freak out or be an alarmist with Neptune last seen in Pisces on Feb. 17,1848 when we had the birth of Spiritualism and the New Age Movement
Today we are seeing the "Supernatural" and 12th house matters like Whitney's funeral on 2-18-2012 (right before the Sun entered Pisces) compete with too much technology
Actually it is Uranus-Ceres-Venus all in Aries that are in a difficult squares to Pluto but the Pisces Stellium will be in a positive sextile to Pluto which which be more in line with occult, mystical, investigative deeper secrets being revealed.
Of course we are in a period when the drum beat to a war with Iran is becoming stronger and false flag operations have been ongoing...
This article and video Expect HUGE Changes With Upcoming Rare Astrological Alignment! talks around a recent (Feb. 16th) Cliff High's prediction that mainstream media whores burst out truth attack... Always the master of hyperbole and symbolism - a symbols are the stock in trade of the Piscean imagery.
Sorry folks they won't be suddenly telling the truth but will make plenty of major mistakes and we will see some bizarre media glitches due to the upcoming Mercury retrograde on March 12th @ 7 Aries near Vesta (focus) the Sabian for 7 Aries - A man successfully expressing himself in two realms at once.
A believe that with the merging of boundaries, all of us will "feel" a shift where the 4th and 5th dimensions become visible. Add the opposite mutable sign to Pisces as in Mars transiting in Virgo @ 17 degrees 47 mintues - Sabian Symbol: "Two girls playing with a ouija board. " Nature is chiming in too for volcanic activity
Aries involved as Venus moves to conjunct Jupiter as volcanic activity elevates.
As the balsamic moon began on Feb. 19th Aquarian Moon with a fiery sextile to Uranus-Venus in Aries added to the powerful earth changes and continued seismic awakenings. Massive explosive eruption seen at Japan’s Sakurajima volcano.
It is not just Sakurajima or volcanoes in Costa Rica but big bad Katla in Iceland is starting to rumble in the "Dead Zone" where seismic activity is rare. It contains the fissure swarms of Bárdarbunga, Grimsvötn and Katla. Grimsvötns fissure swarm is called Laki and Katlas is called Éldgja.
When Katla, Bardarbunga or Grimsvötn has a major and sudden influx of magma from the hotspot, and the fissure swarm of the volcano in question suffers a rifting of the Eastern Icelandic Seismic Zone opening it up. My prediction is that Katla will erupt by the Vernal Equinox along with the Mercury retrograde and spring equinox begins on March 22nd.
This is a time of multiple accidents and nature is not really cooperative as witnessed by Washington Avalanche Kills Three Advanced Skiers on Saturday
From the story where one survives: Three advanced skiers died Sunday when an avalanche pushed them down the back side a mountain pass and ski area in Washington's Cascade Mountains, while a fourth survived the slide by using an inflatable safety device. Sunday's deadly avalanche featured an Aquarian Moon (unexpected sudden event) in a square to Jupiter in fixed earth.
Just two days earlier on February 17, 2011: The Moon had entered colder Capricorn today @ 6:04 AM CET - 1:00 in the Austria Alps to square Uranus in Aries this was a dangerous time for accidents and snowy avalanches. Dutch prince buried in avalanche, condition critical
The other meme which will be significantly stronger after this Piscean New Moon is contact both ongoing and first time with ET. Notice stories like this one surfacing into this time period: Extraterrestrials: China releases Moon footage of alien bases
Tonight (Feb. 20th.) on Coast to Coast AM we find extrapolation of the theme of alien life, disclosure and hybridization.
"Hebrew scholar and expert in biblical prophecy, Douglas Hamp, warns that we're entering into an era of genetic manipulation that will set the stage for celestial intervention into the affairs of mankind. He predicts that within the next ten years a major disclosure event will take place which will convince the public to cooperate with aliens to participate in the next level of evolution."
Neptune and Pisces stellium are rampant with this program and the world's impending meeting with the creators.
