A Hybrid Solar Eclipse Brings Secrets to Light Amid the Phoenix Rising

CURRENT MOON

moon phase

It has been said that Solar Eclipses create effects that are felt more externally or all around us and lunar eclipses are internal and experienced via inner emotions. Of course there are other factors which defy this pat explanation. Eclipses come in pairs and to the astronomer are judged by the outer visibility. The last Lunar Eclipse on October 18th was considered a minor event since you had to look closely so as not to miss it. This his penumbral lunar eclipse is known as a Full Hunter's Moon which passed through the edge (penumbra) of the Earth’s shadow just after moonrise on the East Coast of North America. The western part of the Philippines (including western Luzon and Palawan) saw this penumbral eclipse at moon set. Two days before this eclipse, the a massively dangerous quake hit the Bohol region of the Philippines killing 222 peopleand causing upwards of 4 billion dollars in damage. That and successive quakes in Taiwan, Chile and off the coast of Honshu where anything but minor. In fact fast forwarding to November 6th. we see that another Super Typhoon named Yolanda is bearing down on the Philippines with maximum winds of 115 kph and gusts of up to 146 kph and could make landfall on Friday November 8th. with the Moon entering the sign of shocking/sudden events. The solar eclipse which happened Sunday, November 3rd. was the type of event which eclipse chasers don't bother chasing because was of such a short duration in some places lasting only a matter of second. In this report we will be examining some of rapid and potent effects of the last New Moon Eclipse in the sign of mystery and secrets, Scorpio.

Seeking the truth and adding to the effects of the Solar Eclipse Even though Bob Dylan said: "I don't think the human mind can comprehend the past and the future. They are both just illusions that can manipulate you into thinking there's some kind of change". We are now in a time of total and irrevocable metamorphosis. All that I can do as an astrologer is to view moments in time and the accompanying movement of the planets as they transit that horoscope. For us it is the significance of the angle or aspect that the planets make to each other in that moment of time. Suffice to say we have crossed the Rubicon of history where there is no turning back.

On Friday, November 1st we marked the 4th. passage of seven astrological transits involving Uranus a planet connected to finding freedom, revolution and unexpected actions and Pluto, lord of power and bringer of collapse leading to transformation. These passages will go all the way into 2015. Since June 2012, the start of these Uranus-Pluto waxing squares in pivotal or cardinal signs, Aries and Capricorn,we have seen our share of social upheaval. The tumult came in the form of  strikes, protests,riots and and attempted collective bargaining all reflecting these passages. In fact on November 1st. a shocking and violent event at LAX rocked the nation as aTSA officer killed, at least 7 injured in shooting at LA airport. With Uranus-Pluto @ 10 degrees and in a tight 150 degree angle known for sudden adjustments) to close Scorpio "Stellium" or grouping which includes Mercury,the messenger, N. Node of Destiny, the Sun representing identity and Saturn, structure and karma and tomorrow the Moon, emotions all point to a time of truth being demanded. After all with Scorpio breaking taboos and high end transformation are the coin of the realm. Plus the powerful " Extreme" and phoenix generation from 1984 to 1995 (when Pluto was in Scorpio) is being activated. The LAX shooting suspect: Paul Anthony Ciancia, the 23-year-old is one of the Pluto in Scorpio generation. Along with things underground and from the underworld coming into the light per example this super drug tunnel discovered in San Diego on Nov. 1st. Not to mention that Mars in mutable earth sign Virgo is pushing up against the upheaval created by the Uranus-Pluto aspect adding to multiple seismic and weather related  events.


 Hybrid Eclipse
So on November 3, 2013 @ 4:50 AM PT or 7:50 AM ET, a new moon in Scorpio occurred along with a Solar Eclipse. This was not your ordinary new moon solar eclipse, it was a hybrid eclipse of the Sun with a magnitude of 1.0159. A "hybrid eclipse": shifts between a total eclipse (when the Moon completely obscures the bright light of the Sun forming a corona) and an annular eclipse (when the Sun and Moon are exactly in line, but the apparent size of the Moon is smaller than that of the Sun).
At certain points on the surface of Earth it appears as a total eclipse, whereas at other points it appears as annular. Hybrid eclipses are comparatively rare The totality of this eclipse will be visible from the northern Atlantic Ocean (east of Florida) to Africa (Gabon (landfall), R. Congo, DR Congo, Uganda), with maximum of 1 minute and 39 seconds visible from the Atlantic Ocean south of Ivory Coast and Ghana. Already in the Congo,  there is a sudden hope for peace. since Congolese rebels surrendered on Tuesday to end a bloody 20-month uprising offering tentative hopes of peace in one of the world's deadliest conflicts. This family of eclipses is known for "sudden, unexpected releases of energies from the collective unconscious  which can provide insight in order to solve ongoing problems that have festered for years."

The path of this weird hybrid eclipse is shown below in this animation:

Secrets to be Exposed Looking at the A New Moon over DC: We see Scorpio rising @ 25 degrees with this Sabian Symbol: "An X-Ray photograph helps with the diagnosis." Relating to penetrating insight, revelations and the ability to see thru layers of physical reality. Also this relates to the larger picture that spying of all kinds has become beyond intrusive. On the personal level be cautious about invading others personal space.
Chart below set for 7:50 AM Eastern Time in District of Columbia:

Scorpio was rising, adding to the stirring of extreme opinions and darker secrets about the shadow government to be exposed per military industrial complexities... Plus with ancient ruler of Scorpio, Mars now in detailed Virgo on the top of the chart at Mid-Heaven @ 11 degrees Virgo 11 minutes
With this Sabian: "A bride with her veil snatched away."
This is the opportune time to break down the walls between people and unveil those sick and dirty secrets. Since the Sun and Moon were conjunct @ 11 degrees 15 minutes Scorpio many of those hidden, covert actions will involve the elite and people in high places. There is always a purging and time of revelation with Scorpio. Per example on November 5th.a long time hinted at but always denied dark secret can come to light with roly poly mayor of Toronto, Rob Ford. And since Pluto is in Capricorn in mutual reception to Saturn now in Scorpio, that which is covert, secluded or obscured will be exposed more dramatically. Not to mention that Venus entered down to earth Capricorn which squares Uranus (the planet of sudden revelations) and those revelations were disclosed in a big way.

Notice the Sabian Symbol for 12 degrees Scorpio:"A brilliant assembly of officials at an official embassy ball." This symbol also describes the bringing together an elite circle of leaders together for political game playing and take overs. Since Sun-Moon are in a sign relating to security, spying and surveillance issues around the NSA and Snowden revelations will be prominent. On a collective and personal level there will be role-playing and diplomatic stand-offs. Of course in this situation rules and protocol are in the forefront. Since this is a time when new agendas and projects are announced and begun large changes in leadership will occur. Secret Societies, the Occult, secret fraternities, that old standby The Iluminati along other assorted masonic minions will be making their move to control more and more. Mercury (lord of the 6th/3rd house and Virgo) is still retrograde in SCORPIO till November 10th. Yes Mercury can be caustic when in this t sign of Enigmas, gangsters, the underworld, taboos, sexuality, transgressions, other people's luxury and possessions. Mars (the ancient ruler of the Scorpion ) now in Virgo, the Virgin which is in mutual reception to Mercury traveling in the shadow slightly pessimistic realms. No matter how much they try to suppress, manipulate everything including the weather more will be out in the open including refuge/garbage like the million tons of Fukushima debris just 1,700 miles off the American coast. Remember that Scorpio can be quiet vindictive and seek retribution like the massive anonymous million mask march on Guy Fawkes day-November 5th.

 Take heart ultimately, Scorpio is about the Phoenix rising from the ashes than the collapse and destruction of a society. In fact when I spoke of the last Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse on October 18th. I said that the
 " Lunar Eclipse and the subsequent Solar Eclipse on Nov. 3, 2013 are part of Saros Series 16 North which began on Feb. 15, 1599 and ends on March 25, 2843. This family of eclipses are known to bring a sense of deeper inspiration that illuminates new, progressive ideas." And I went onto say: 

There will be a sudden and unexpected release of energies from our deeper unconcious and the earth herself thus offering major insight to help solve many of our current problems. These ideas or realizations whether generated from inner spiritual forces or the outer universe (as above so below) should be acted upon."

Earth Shadows Fall on a Full Hunter's Moon in Explosive Aries

CURRENT MOON

moon phase

On Friday October 18th. A FULL HUNTER'S MOON/LUNAR ECLIPSE IN EXPLOSIVE ARIES occurs. Even though the view of this eclipse may not be dramatic for astronomers, the inner and outer effects will be memorable. The Moon will pass through the edge (penumbra) of the Earth’s shadow just after moonrise on the East Coast of North America. This eclipse is described as being minor or slight, such that you have to look closely so as not to miss it. Look for a shading on the lower half of the Full Moon. It will also be visible in Africa, Europe, and the Middle East. Since Mars (our assertive nature) is in meticulous and detailed Virgo, let's check it out a little closer to find: The eclipse will be visible from the Americas (only at the end), for Europe, Africa, and most of Asia (the beginning of the eclipse will be visible in east Asia). The western part of the Philippines (including western Luzon and Palawan) will see the penumbral eclipse at moonset.
Map of Visibility Below

 
FULL HUNTERS MOON This penumbral lunar eclipse occurs on October 18th. @ 7:50 PM ET or 23:50 Universal Time synched up with this powerful Full Moon in Aries @ 4:38 PM PDT or 7:38 PM EDT The Moon is full @ 26 degrees Aries opposing the Sun @ 26 degrees Libra known by Native Americans as the Full Hunter Moon, Blood Moon, or Sanguine Moon. For the North American Indians, this was a time when the harshness of winter was looming, the trees were shedding their leaves , deer had grown fat and it was time to begin storing up meat for cold and darkness coming . Those tribes like the which hailed from New England to Lake Superior had much to teach 21st century humans who are so removed from nature. In fact speaking of hunters or predators this lunation will bring more revelations which the Native American's spoke of encounters with "Star People" and Sky Gods. These alien encounters have been well-documented thru research by authors like Ardy Sixkiller Clarke. Disclosure of ET influence here on earth has been blocked by the powers that be for centuries and with this eclipse season commencing the evidence will take a new turn. In fact a recent interview with Veteran Michael Relfe (Mars relates to military service) lets the true hunter out of the bag. "Open letter sent to the military leaders of many prominent nations asserting that “Previous members of the military made a grave mistake when they hid the reality of aliens from the people of earth. That mistake has been continued. That mistake could endanger the future of humanity forever. It is time to remedy this situation before it is too late."

  Sabian Symbols and Saros Series 16 North. When we look closer we see an abundant Sabian Symbol for 26 degrees Aries : A person possesed of more gifts than they can hold The gifts reflect talents and possessions of inordinate scope along with too many demands and expectations. There is also a link here to obsessions relating to achieving grandiose goals yet not being able to focus on one thing at a time. Perhaps even more prescient is that the Sabian Symbol for the Sun @ 26 degrees Libra speaks of the union of opposites in many variations: "An eagle and a large white dove turning constantly into each other." This rich symbolism speaks of tempering one's iron will with the power of love. Even though there may be some question whether to use more force or love at times, going for the highest good involving cooperations of the heart and will power can succeed in the end. Note that this Lunar Eclipse and the subsequent Solar Eclipse on Nov. 3, 2013 are part of Saros Series 16 North which began on Feb. 15, 1599 and ends on March 25, 2843. This family of eclipses are known to bring a sense of deeper inspiration that illuminates new, progressive ideas. Since Mars now in practical, detailed Virgo is the ruler of the Aries Moon and current passage of Uranus the awakener we are drawn to find pragmatic solutions to long standing problems. Also during the Full Moon there is an alignment of the Grand Water Trine, a Mars-Neptune opposition and of course the Uranus-Pluto Square. There will be a sudden and unexpected release of energies from our deeper unconcious and the earth herself thus offering major insight to help solve many of our current problems. These ideas or realizations whether generated from inner spiritual forces or the outer universe (as above so below) should be acted upon. Under this transit (which is the full moon), conscious decisions or judgments are often reached, in many cases under pressure. Turning points in awareness are reached as a result of crisis situations that actually force responses.
Chart set for the Aries Full Moon over the UK @ 23:38 PM Universal Time with dramatic Leo rising.
Ruler of this chart the Sun now in equalizing and balancing Libra on the IC or ground zero with the Scorpio Stellium adding some weirdness and sexual fantasies.
Since Mars the ancient ruler of Scorpio and ruler of Aries is now in a close opposition to Neptune on the angles of the first and 7th house ,
this eclipse includes a Guradian Angel aspect where intuitive understanding and uncanny certainty can materialize.. The moon is elevated at the Mid-Heaven and speaks volumes for new more progressive ideas to be implemented soon!

The Scales Weigh Toward Passion and Magenta on Libra New Moon Oct. 4, 2013

CURRENT MOON

moon phase

On the cusp of scale tipping and heavily unbalanced New Moon in Libra, the upheaval and volatility has become the new normal. Instead of waxing about the beauty of natures harmony radiant in the light of autumn, I am going to speak of the sheer intensity and power that accompanies this lunation. Of course justice, high profile trials, elements of fashion and romance will make news but there is more an element of Mars and the warrior present than Aphrodite. To illustrate the power and emotional ramifications what is coming in the next couple of weeks, let's turn to Spaceweather and to  how on October 2nd, a CME hit Earth's magnetic field, sparking a G2-class geomagnetic storm. Auroras were seen in both hemispheres and many of the lights were rare shades of red. Minoru Yoneto photographed the example above in Queenstown, New Zealand.

There is a  predominance of Scorpio and extreme transformation per the New Moon chart. Mercury is moving retrograde on October 21st @ 19 degrees. with a Sabian Symbol - "A parrot listening and then talking, repeats conversations he has overheard." This image can represent everything to recorded messages, NSA surveillance, talking heads and gossip. Also  Mars the  ancient ruler of Scorpio relates  to the color Red as in passion, crimson, magenta, or deep blood in tone.

  Fixed Stars on this New Moon by Paran In the chart set for tomorrow October 4th. @ 8:34 PM in Washington, DC. Looking first at some important fixed stars we see that Alcyone, the central adn largest star of the Pleiades or Seven Sisters is rising at the Ascendant. Alcyone rising relates to not just visionary skills and judgemental attitudes but to eye problems like blindness or injuries to the eyes and face. Alycyone rising per Robson also represents disgrace, wounds, stabs even imprisonment, sickness or quarrels and violent consequences. Alcyone is also connected to major fires. Alkes is the Heliacal Rising Star not just for DC but(also over the West Coast. Alkes found in the base of the Cup or Crater Constellation. Alkes represents the principle of carrying something precious and has a prophetic and mystical quality. Per Noonan: " When rising the star indicates dedicated environmentalists whose love for rivers and streams lead them to be very protective regarding water resources." Another interesting thing about Crater is that it is associated with the Roman Bacchus who is identified with Greek Dionysus. Manilus goes on to say that those born under the Constellation, Crater " will sow corn among the grapes and will adopt any other of the countless forms of cultivation that exist throughout the world and will drink without stint the wine he has produced and enjoy in person the well earned fruits of his labors; neat wine will incite him to jollity, when he will drown all seriousness in his cups Scheat, yellow star on the leg of the Winged Horse, Pegasus is the Heliacal Setting Star over DC and San Francisco. Scheat is known to be prominent during natural disasters including floods - this is a warning. Per Elsbeth Ebertin. Scheat when mixed with malefics by transit, could mean that the native might lose his life in catastrophes, such as floods, shipwreck, mining accidents, airplane accidents, or maybe suicide. On the other hand, a positive influence can emanate from Scheat, but only for some people, it can have a positive effect on their mental creativity. Also on the West Coast, Venus already in a water sign is culminating when Scheat is Rising social order confronted with change. Suffice to say, Scheat makes the list of influence when it comes to many tragedies and natural disasters.

The Chart Below is set for October 4th. @ 8:34 PM in Washington, DC. and more ominous is that Algol is rising when the Moon is Setting which describes being plagued by personal tragedies, one's own, or other people's   Yes in Washington, DC the government shutdown continues and while women and men are angry, intense and even filled with revenge per the shocking car chase and eventual shooting of the woman attacker near the US Capitol. Venus is transiting in Scorpio The female motorist's black Infiniti, according to authorities on Thursday afternoon,struck a security barrier and a U.S. Secret Service officer near the White House before hurtling down some of the capital's most famous streets, In other words a 35 year old woman and 1 year old child virtually "terrorized" the White House and put them on temporary lockdown and she didn't even have a gun!   - pretty weird  stuff . With the Sun applying to in a 90 degree angle to the Jupiter in Cancer (exact on October 12th.) there are not only moral conflicts but major distortions of the truth. In fact Venus is in a contra parallel or opposing aspect to Jupiter adding to this time of lies.

Update for Friday Afternoon before the New Moon in DC, as a Man lit himself on fire at the National Mall. Authorities were called to the Mall on Friday afternoon to respond to reports that a man had set himself on fire. Mars is positioned in fiery Leo in the 4th. house of ground zero plus fixed star Zosma found in the back of the Nemean Lion and in the Leo constellation is conjunct Vesta - Zosma represents the principle of victimization relating to today's incident of Self immolation. So lets take a quick look at the new moon chart below

Taurus is rising @ 24 degrees Taurus with this Sabian Symbol: "An Indian Warrior is riding fiercely with human scalps hanging from his belt. " This speaks of a time when fighting tooth and nail for territory, aggression, risk taking and deadly attacks is here. In fact this ascendant is opposing Venus, ruler of this chart now Void of Course in dark, seductive and obsessive Scorpio. Venus Void of Course relates to impulsive and passionate emotions that can precipitate risky acts. Venus is also the ruler of the Sun-Moon now conjunct in Libra @ 12 degrees Libra with this Symbol - "Miners emerging from a coal mine." which could actually refer to a mine disaster or explosion underground where workers are rescued.  This symbol does relate to the act of being transformed by coming into the light. This Sabian also can relate to secrets and revelations being unearthed and the opportunity to breathe clean air or alternately a gloomy outlook, breathing problems or even a depressed state.

Speaking of new information be unearthed about the notorious chemical attack in Eastern Ghouta, Syria. New credible allegations have surfaced that a Saudi black op team behind Damascus chem weapons attack – diplomatic sources
A penetrating view of the Scorpio stellium comes back to that Mercury station on October 21st to turn retrograde This occurs right before the Sun enters Scorpio (Oct. 22nd.) In fact with this retrograde, we might see the Government Shutdown prolonged. Mercury has already had that serious, super realistic and candid meeting with Saturn, the Lord of Karma on October 8th. and Mercury retrograde will again conjunct Saturn on October 29th. Mercury-Saturn together in Scorpio can many times crystallize our perceptions which can enhance critical thinking but it also has a tendency to stir negative thinking, mental blocks and self-destructive thought. By the time the Sun enters Scorpio after the next Full Moon in Aries on October 18th. some mega events will have transpired from weather related to economic downturns. Look toward the First Qtr. Moon in Capricorn on October 11th. for some major events to transpire in the economic sector.  Already there are rumors that Banks are stuffing ATM's ahead of panicked withdrawals.

Stay tuned for some wild happenings...

"A Harvest Moon Illuminates the Sky" as the Hidden Comes to Light with Sudden Impact

CURRENT MOON

moon phase

Looking at the bright orb peaking over the horizon at sunrise, excitement and wonder are building. May it is the fact that as we are just a few hours a way from a momentous Full Moon @ 26 degrees 40 minutes in the sign of the two fishes. The moon in Pisces speaks of the mysterious, poetic and hidden. We are talking about the Harvest Moon or as Native Americans called this moon closest to the closest to the autumn equinox, the Full Corn Moon. In fact the Sabian Symbol for 27 degrees Pisces explicates so well: "A Harvest Moon Illuminates the Sky" There is of accomplishment achievement present with this symbol along with a time to reap the abundance and benefits of our hard work. In many ways this is a time of celebration.

With such a powerful Pisces Moon and Vesta/Ceres in work analytical Virgo also opposing Neptune/Chiron, we all may have trouble sleeping along with other folks suddenly embracing some lunatic behavior. Traditionally we are at the peak of harvest or the fruition, when farmers worked late into the night by the light of this Moon. And this year with the threat of rain in the forecast heading into October for parts of Northern California's Emerald Triangle, the harvest may be early this Fall. Corn, pumpkins, squash, beans, and wild rice the chief Indian staples are now ready for gathering.

  More Astronomical Info. on this Harvest Moon. Yes the Harvest Moon Cometh! As the article above from NASA says this Harvest Moon falls closest to the autumnal equinox, the beginning of northern autumn. The equinox follows close behind on Sept. 22nd. @ 1:44 PM a Sunday when the Moon has entered Taurus highlighting the Grand Fixed Cross with oppositions to N. Node-Saturn-Venus all in secretive Scorpio. Back to astronomical viewpoint, one of the things that makes this lunation special is the rising interval. In other words throughout the year the Moon rises, on average, about 50 minutes later each day. But near the autumnal equinox, those few nights around the Harvest Moon, the Moon seems to rise at nearly the same time each night: just 25 to 30 minutes later across the U.S., and only 10 to 20 minutes later for much of Canada and Europe. The reason is, at the beginning of autumn, the moon's orbital path makes a narrow angle with the evening horizon. Just like with Pisces the sign of illusions/magic our low-hanging moon will appear as a reddened color due to clouds and dust. The visions of this moon will appear to be swollen to unbelievable size by this mysterious trick of the eye which sounds even more like Neptune's altered perception mania.  One thing about Piscean energies where Neptune has been in a long term trine with Saturn in Scorpio, Saturn is a  planet which can help us perfect our artistic skills and this article illustrates the trend of "Faceoff style transformations" Speaking of bizarre transformations in the entertainment world (where Mars is pushing the dramatic envelope in Leo) check this out.
where  Academy Award winner Halle Berry donned some serious prosthetics and makeup for "Cloud Atlas." In 2000,

The Sun is in Virgo @ 26 degrees 40 minutes with a curious Sabian Symbol: "Aristocratic Elderly Ladies Drinking Afternoon Tea in a Wealthy Home." This symbol speaks of special privileges for some along with a leisurely and composed attitude. This exclusivity and smugness won't be received well by the majority. During this Full Moon on the Victim/Martyr/Service axis of Pisces/Virgo Looking at the Full Moon set for Washington DC tomorrow morning @ 7:13 AM EDT we see Virgo rising @ 29 degrees with the Sun. First of all with the ascendant @ 29 degrees 47 minutes Virgo - a prescient Sabian Symbol takes shape: "Having an Urgent Task to Complete, a Person Doesn't Look to any Distractions" This speaks volumes about single-mindedness and completion well not giving into temptations and powerful focus. The opposite of this urgency is letting outside influences take us off course. So Mercury is the ruler of the chart below set for the beltway or the hill where the cosmic messenger is intercepted in the first house which the nation or group as a whole, the country and its inhabitants along with the psychology of the masses.

Mercury is separating from an opposition from Uranus in the 7th house ( foreign relations, treaties and/or disputes, business relationships). Mercury also is TSQ both Jupiter at Mid-Heaven and Pluto at the IC or 4th. house. As we know the 4th house relates to agriculture, farming, crops, land, real estate, the opposition party in government, mines, minerals, and the weather. The weather is pretty wacked out for sure but with the fact that the triumverate of limitations and repression regarding national debt: N. Node-Saturn-Venus all in Scorpio are in the 2nd house. In a mundane chart like this one, the 2nd house reflects the national wealth and values, the Gross National Product(GNP) the treasury, currency and its circulation. Whoa! a recent article discussing the gold shortages also mentions the failing of servicing the debt for G-7 the most industrialized countries in the world: The U.S., the U.K., France, Italy, Canada, Germany and Japan. "The G-7 represents around 50% of world GDP, which totals $30 trillion. But these countries have a total debt of $140 trillion, which is a remarkable 440% of their GDP." Yes this conjunction lit up on the Full Moon is finally bringing this debt secret to light- per the article again:" the world’s so-called richest nations need $7 of debt to produce $1 of GDP."  All of this comes with a looming US Government shutdown in October with the GOP led House pushing for defunding.

 Mercury ruler of the chart above and Virgo Sun (healing/medical profession) and asteroids Ceres (nurturance) and Vesta (devotion/focus) is transiting in equalizing and cardinal sign Libra. Right after the Full Moon, Mercury is in an exact square to Jupiter in Cancer a combination that reflects important and emergency news being announced. Will much of the news deal with flooding as we saw in Colorado or in Mexico where storms led to a killer landslide?Since Mercury is also separating from an opposition to Uranus (unexpected events) and with medical/disease elements so strong with this luantion the video below talking about FEEMA's recent efforts at the mobilization of the National Disaster Medical System FEMA 48 Hour Delivery Order: 100,000 "Doctor Scrubs"; 1000 (100 Person) Shelters; + Fuel, Showers, Bathrooms, and Hygine Equipment. Watch the Video below:

As I mentioned in my title and my catch phrase for this 2013 Year of the Water Serpent, "The hidden comes to light with sudden impact. " Without a doubt this Full Moon is a time of great secrets revealed including recent exposure about Monday's Navy Yard massacre is appearing suspicious which had libra rising with Mercury similar to the 9/11 rising sign.
The Navy said shots were fired at the Naval Sea Systems Command Headquarters building on the base at 8:20 a.m. A chart set for DC @ 8:20 AM has Mercury rising in Libra closely opposing Uranus in Aries with Venus-Saturn-N. Node intercepted or hidden
in the first house. Venus is the ruler of the chart so look here where the deadly Scorpio conjunction relates to self-image and primary psychology of the event. Normally a Mercury-Uranus aspect wouldn't mean a massacre but with Mercury in a sextile to Mars - events occur at breakneck speed. Regarding the comparison to the 9/11 False Flag, both Mercury was rising in Libra and applying to a square to Jupiter in Cancer adding to the lie and redundant propaganda. In the chart set for 8:46 AM EDT when the first plane hit the North Tower on September 11, 2001, Venus ruler of the chart was in fixed Leo posited in the 11th house and opposing Uranus in Aquarius adding to the shocking attack and planes that were unable to scramble due to planned war games. .

Plus with Mars(Leo) applying to a  square with Venus (in Scorpio)  passions can heat up quickly as more incongruities  continue to surface like this factoid From the BBC  Navy Yard: Swat team 'stood down' at mass shooting scene One of the first teams of heavily armed police to respond to Monday's shooting in Washington DC was ordered to stand down by superiors, the BBC can reveal. In fact it gets more curious as we find out that a  tactical response team of the Capitol Police, a force that guards the US Capitol complex, was told to leave the scene by a supervisor instead of aiding municipal officers.
We already have the conspiracy network in full gear with the Scorpio and Pisces transits. regarding the Navy Yard Shooting as a potential False Flag Operation:
Another example of what is to come as more secrets are brought into the light.  The DOD's infamous Mind Control programs dating back to the 1950's. Here we have a Whistleblower who Exposes the MK Ultra Conspiracy, He gives the Defense Department until 9/23/13 to fess up telling of a government conspiracy to murder him. A bit of histrionics yet. Robert Connors says he has video and audio recordings proving the existence of project and is giving DOD until 9/23/13 to fess up or he'll release the info via Youtube. He's encouraging other DOD employees to speak up.  

Oceanic Influences: 

Today September 18th when an oceanic Pisces Moon adds news of the art world extending to aquatic and marine life, it is again the good, bad and ugly scenario The artistic and highly developed Cetacean gets the nod in Japan where

Beluga whales create art in Japan aquarium <Beluga whales at an aquarium near Tokyo are learning how to paint pictures as part of an autumn art programe for visitors, an official said Wednesday. The sea creatures at the Hakkeijima Sea Paradise aquarium in Yokohama will be showing off their skills with specially adapted paintbrushes that they can hold in their mouths... The bad aquatic news comes from Virginia where new information is revealed:
the total number of dead dolphins found along Virginia's coast this year has reached 300 way beyond the average number VIRGINIA BEACH, VA (WWBT) - New details about the dolphins that are washing ashore in Virginia. We now know the total number of dead dolphins found along Virginia's coast this year has reached 300. Over the past decade, the average number of dolphins that wash ashore each year has typically been 65. Finally the Ugly News coming from Fukushima where: 1000 tons of polluted Fukushima rain water dumped into the sea
JAPAN - The operator of the leaking Fukushima nuclear plant said Tuesday that it dumped more than 1,000 tons of polluted water into the sea after a typhoon raked the facility. Typhoon Man-yi smashed into Japan on Monday, bringing with it heavy rain that caused flooding in some parts of the country, including the ancient city of Kyoto. The rain also lashed near the broken plant run by Tokyo Electric Power (TEPCO), swamping enclosure walls around clusters of water tanks containing toxic water that was used to cool broken reactors.
Also a related phenomena which may occur within 3+ days of the Full Moon is a potential tsunami hitting one of the world's coasts as the Uranus-Pluto waxing square continues to be set off and the Fixed Cross grows in power.

Tomorrow's early AM Full Moon gives way to a short Void of Course period starting @ 4:13 AM PDT/7:13 AM EDT which changes dramatically @ 9:58 AM, when Aries takes over. Aries will be the spark for even more explosive action on Friday, the 20th when Pluto, the Lord of the Underworld and power monger stations direct @ 8:27 AM. Pluto stations at 9 degrees Capricorn with this Sabian: "An Angel Comes Carrying a Harp" which offers redemption, revelations and the ability to tune in to the harmony of the spheres so to speak. On the negative side this can also relate to an holier than thou attitude or loosing oneself in a religious fantasy. When Pluto is retrograde people tend to keep inner upheavals private by keeping up a good front. Now that Pluto will continue direct into April 2014, a new time of major destruction and transformation is on the way as mega-intense outside forces will intervene with both natural and man made catastrophes. We will all have to be willing to go to extremes and prepared to cut away the useless in those areas of life represented. In October following the Equinox when the Sun enters Libra to first square Pluto on Oct. 1st. those possesed by the hunger for power, the despot and outlaw alike may become consumed by their own desire for power.

Virgo New Moon - A War Chart or Time of Red Lines and Fog? Pt. One

CURRENT MOON

moon phase

So here we are at the darkest part of the moon in the Balsamic Phase right before a New Moon in Virgo tomorrow morning (Sept. 5th.) @ 4:36 AM PDT or 7:36 AM EDT or 11:36 AM UT. The Balsamic Moon Phase is known as a time to tie up loose ends, journey within/contemplate, and prepare for new beginnings ahead. This phase can also signal psychic, intuitive and mystical understandings and in Virgo a certain ability to solve mysteries. Yet because their is an impassive, methodical, even a narrow-minded side to this rather tenuous, on the edge type of attitude. Today when the moon entered adaptable, earthy and conscientious Virgo this morning it may have felt like a New Moon but there were clouds of confusion from an oppositon to Neptune. Since the last massive Full Blue Moon (August 20th/21st) more and more leaders/authorities have been pushing their agendas with Mars entering Leo (August 27th) heading into a dangerous square to Saturn in Scorpio
Mars-Saturn squares are about the desire to GO out of impatience with Mars in Leo while Saturn always screams STOP and in Scorpio with over-active passion. The drumbeat for war in Syria has become stronger and stronger since Saturday August 31st even though Americans widely oppose Syria strike despite drumbeat in Washington  

The New Moon Chart for Sept.5th.  is not necessarily a "War Chart" but more of a prediction of war with Mars-SQ-Saturn...and of course the Uranus-Pluto waxing square exact again on Nov. 1st. and Pluto, the Lord of Destruction stationing direct on September 20th. in Capricorn and also in a 90 degree angle to the rebel Uranus in mad and hyper-active Aries. Yes the chart set for Washington, DC for 7:36 AM EDT attempts to State a Case for War ostensibly a strike on Syria. The chart has Mercury rising in Virgo @ 23 Degrees 29 SQ Gemini at Mid-Heaven @ 22 Gemini 22. Which as you will see relates directly to the 13+degree of the Sun-Moon in Virgo. And the Sabian Symbol for this lunation"Finely lettered names and mysterious lines are seen, it is a family tree." which relates to our ancestral roots and those of the United States.

But First
 Mercury is the ruler of the New Moon chart tomorrow and the ruler both Virgo and Gemini - So Communications of all kinds are reflected...as is the US. Historical blind spot for WAR or the point which represents the Fog of War. Below is a Bi-Wheel Chart with Tomorrow's Virgo New Moon over DC posited in the Inner Wheel making the cusps On the Outer Wheel - the US. Sibley Foundation Chart set for July 4, 1776 @ 5:10 PM LMT
Jupiter is the ruler of this Sagittarius rising chart for the USA.
Notice that Neptune in the Sibley Chart is conjunct the Asc. Mercury for the Sept. 5, 2013 lunation.
Yes Neptune , planet of illusion, delusion, fog and confusion sits right on tomorrow's rising Mercury in Virgo
And in the US. Sibley Foundation Chart, Mars @ 21 Gemini 22 minutes sits right on the Mid-Heaven for tomorrow's Virgo New Moon - Holy Shit!

Skipping ahead and viewing with new eyes, the chart set for tomorrow's Virgo New Moon in DC. (a time when a voice of reason is desired). Virgo is rising so Mercury, the messenger of thoughts and announcements is this chart's ruler. In fact speaking of selling the Syrian War,
helped by Barack Obama (born Aug. 4, 1961)  and his natal Mars  @ 22 degrees Virgo
which is conjunct the ascendant of this chart for DC and Neptune in the Sibley Chart - hope and illusion goes a long way in the USA. Obama  said recently that "I didn't set a red line in Syria, the world did."  President Barack Obama insisted Wednesday that Congress and the world will lose credibility if Bashar Assad’s alleged chemical weapons massacre goes unpunished.
 From the "War is Peace - Peace is War" meme  of 1984 per Barack Obama (born August 4, 1961) with natal Mars @ 22 Virgo in opposition to Pallas @ 24 Pisces. When Mars-Pallas are in hard aspects like an opposition, there can be blockage in the ability to manifest creative intelligence. (Note: asteroid Pallas Athene, known as the "protectress of the state" represents creative intelligence and political strategy in a horoscope)
Also Pallas in Pisces represents a diffusion of perception where techniques involving
subliminal messages, guided imagery and even fantasy are used to achieve their ends.   9/4/13 - President Barack Obama flew to Sweden on Wednesday for a diplomatic meeting ahead of a two-day G20 summit in St. Petersburg, Russia. Obama held a wide-ranging press conference in Sweden relating to the White House's effort to build support for a strike on Syria



Virgo is rising in the New Moon chart especially with Mercury @ 23 + degrees indicating  time of debate, a changing vote, resolution(s), endless chatter, Rand Paul, the lone wolf  but nobody really asking Who benefits from a war between the United States and Syria? Along the line of Cui bono or literally "as a benefit to whom?" Looking with more detail: from the article above and the chart below where Jupiter in Cancer (Jupiter representing foreign powers) is intercepted in the 10th house representing the leadership class besides the the president, prime minister and the sovereign and their government.
Yes Jupiter now in the sign of Big, Powerful Families The party that stands to benefit the most is Saudi Arabia, and they won't even be doing any of the fighting. They have been pouring billions of dollars into the conflict in Syria, but so far they have not been successful in their attempts to overthrow the Assad regime. Listen to this from Democracy Now which describes how Prince Bandar bin Sultan al-Saud — Saudi’s former ambassador to the United States — is leading the effort to prop up the Syrian rebels.


  Jupiter also in a mundane or political chart represents religion, the clergy, bankers, judges and the high court Also Jupiter corresponds with all ruling bodies that ratify treaties. From the article again: "Now the Saudis are trying to play their trump card - the U.S. military. If the Saudis are successful, they will get to pit the two greatest long-term strategic enemies of Sunni Islam against each other - the U.S. and Israel on one side and Shia Islam on the other"
As I remember that last time Jupiter was in Cancer was July 2001 to August 2002 when 9/11 marked the biggest False Flag of All and the build-up to the Iraq war took a while. This year with Jupiter entering Cancer on June 25, 2013 an active, highly volatile and dangerous TSQ with Uranus (Aires) and Pluto (Capricorn) began things are happening much quicker! First and foremost, this is a chart about making everyone feel comfortable with the TPTB, blank faces decisions about starting World War Three or is it Four? The Sabian Symbol for 24 deg. Virgo - "Mary and her white lamb." speaking volumes about dependence/codependence and a sense of innocence and naivete. Will Americans be lead to another catastrophic, mire of war just like Iraq back in 2003?
This is also a symbol of the compulsive need for reassurance that everything is OK.
In the chart below the Sun/Moon together in Virgo @ 13+ degrees are posited in the 12th house of hidden motives when there can either be great sensitivity or an emotional numbness and both Sun-Moon in the house of Pisces are opposing Chiron, that ancient wounded healer in the house of Virgo adding a deeper and mysterious pain to all of this along with a Sabian Symbol elucidating something deeper from ancestral roots:"Finely lettered names and mysterious lines are seen, it is a family tree."
Of course with Jupiter prominent in Cancer and sextile the Sun- powerful families, elite voices are behind much of the desire to strike Syria. Mars the willful warrior in Leo:

Mars (the Warrior) now in aggressive, impatient Leo is posited in the 11th. house which represents the institutions of government such as the legislature, Congress, Senate where a vote is being held today just ahead of the New Moon in analytical Virgo.
Breaking News - Senate Foreign Relations Committee approves Obama's plan to strike Syria Here is just the solo chart for the New Moon over DC

Using the Virgo qualities of analysis and details It is time to get a solid, realistic and down to earth idea of what the next war will be create. All we need to do is  look back with ancestral knowledge  per the current Grand Earth Trine involving Sun/Moon (Virgo)-Pluto/Astrea (Capricorn)  and S. Node/Hygeia (Taurus) Note that Astrea (asteroid of justice is now closely trine the Sun-Moon and Hygeia (health concerns) And with Pluto in mutual reception to Saturn expect revelations or messages depending on your alertness about
history.
Per this article from the MailOnline out of the UK: Revealed: Pentagon knew in 2012 that it would take 75,000 GROUND TROOPS to secure Syria's chemical weapons facilitiesThat estimate comes from a secret memorandum the U.S. Department of Defense prepared for President Obama in early 2012. Here is a video which brings up even more concerns to say the least:

More on the Virgo New Moon and the Grand Fixed Cross led by Mars in Leo relating to Solar Maximum One thing about Virgo, which relates to day to day activities, job, scientific research and practical details being a Mercury (mentally) ruled earth sign they love solving problems especially those involving weather, earth changes and even solar activity


September 4th. here on Terra Firma where the Grand Earth Trine is felt most along with the Cardinal TSQ's >and the unrelenting Grand Fixed Cross involving both power planets and "malifics per traditional astrology": Mars and Saturn expect major vulcanism! Fixed signs in hard aspects all signify continued explosions.
Like in Peru recently

Peru’s Ubinas Volcano erupts five times in 48 hours: awakens with strong activity

Or in Japan where: Sakurajima volcano (Japan): large explosion damages cars

Princess Diana Returns with the Aquarian Blue Moon and Other Parallel Transits

CURRENT MOON

moon phase

"Once in a blue moon..." means seldom or absurd and in the case of yesterday's or today's if you are in the GMT/Universal Time mode like in London an unusual yet psychic coincidence.

You may have heard this weekend about new allegations in the "murder" of Princess Diana . This celebrity murder case is no longer just a persistent conspiracy. The revelations come from a former SAS black-ops soldier, who let slip how his hit squad was behind the murder of the engaging and well-loved Princess Diana. Interestingly enough Princess Diana had an Aquarian Moon @ 25degrees 2 minutes in the sign of the Water Bearer But there are a lot more parallel transits which is the subject of another whole blog. Anyway this new information which has a decidely transiting Saturn in Scorpio, investigative theme and Diana's natal Neptune will be conjunct Saturn in mid September - adding a a darker twist to her mythos. Actually before you look at the Bi-Wheel chart below with the Aug. 21st Full Moon over London in the center and Princess Di's natal chart on the outer wheel. Note different standpoint, this second Aquarian Full Moon exact @ 28 degrees 11 minutes is almost exactly conjunct the S. Node for Princess Diana which in personal charts relates to past lives, gifts and remembrances. The real story here is that Princess Diana's natal Uranus (the shocker) in Leo along side N. Node (future destiny) and Mars in early Virgo @ 1 degree are all conjunct the Royal Lion's Stellium of Vesta-Mercury-Ceres and the Sun and will all be growing closer into September. In fact I expect a major announcement to (happen by August 24th.when Sun-Mercury are conjunct in Leo)about new circumstances in her death. Bi-Wheel Chart with Princess Diana natal chart on outer  wheel - Blue Moon over London August 21st set for UT. @ 1:45 AM

A Blue Electric Moon in Aquarius - 3rd. Full Moon of the Season brings Thunder, Lightening and Unprecedented Events

CURRENT MOON

moon phase

Lightening strikes and thundershowers are already heralding tomorrow's unusual, eccentric and wildly insane Full Moon in Aquarius. The Weather story has a low pressure system spinning through the Bay Area from Southern California. By the early Monday, it triggered more than 6,000 lightning strikes that had firefighters casting a wary eye on the region’s tinder-dry hills.

We are now only one day away from a mighty Blue Moon happening on Tuesday August 20th. symbolically the weather forecast for Northern California has thunder showers and dry lightening. (The last Full Moon in Aquarius on July 22nd. was known as by Native American tribes as the Full Thunder Moon. Since that time both literal and metaphorical thunder storms have occurred replete with flashes of lightening. Tomorrow's Blue Moon Not Happening Again Until 2015

Science Report: "History shows us that a blue moon is technically the third full moon in a four-full-moon season. Yahoo News notes, via a 1946 article titled "Sky & Telescope" magazine, that the blue moon was previously mistaken as the second full moon of the season, and unfortunately, the definition stuck at the time. " 

Our cosmos is ever changing and shifting as we will see further with this Full Moon and the ensuing two weeks leading up to the next new moon in Virgo on Sept. 5th. . Already by early AM today our physical Sun as brought an even more dramatic event:  
A SUNDIVING COMET AND FULL-HALO CME when a  small comet plunged into the sun this morning, and just before it arrived, the sun expelled a magnificent full-halo CME.
Reflecting a theme involving dissolution per our astrological event, from an astronomical perspective:

In the final frames of the movie, the comet can be seen furiously vaporizing. Indeed, those were the comet's final frames.

Princess Diana Returns with the Aquarian Moon               and Other Parallel Transits

You may have heard last weekend circa Aug. 18th. about new allegations in the "murder" of Princess Diana . This celebrity murder case is no longer just a persistent conspiracy. The revelations come from a  former SAS black-ops soldier, who let slip how his hit squad was behind the murder of the engaging and well-loved Princess Diana. Interestingly enough Princess Diana had an Aquarian Moon @ 25 degrees 2 minutes in the sign of the Water Bearer But there are a lot more parallel transits which is the subject of another whole blog.

                 The Blue Moon over the SF. Bay Area and Silicon Valley
One thing is for certain besides huge technological advances  with Aquarius rising at the time of this Blue Moon is that the Jupiter-Uranus square will mean even more controversy. 
 On August 21st. Jupiter squared Uranus  @ 12:14 AM
I am referring to  "controversial" products like the Google Glass which is now powering firefighters. 
Regarding privacy concerns (Jupiter is in Cancer - a private sign like scorpio) 
Of course, there could be privacy concerns with such an app. Recently, news came out that NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg and other officials in the U.S. oppose the idea of police body cameras, suggesting they’d be open to all kinds of dangerous interpretation.
Well as volatile as the Jupiter-Uranus aspect is, we have more coming with  on the weirdness scale as Mercury  enters Virgo (August 23rd.)  right after the Sun to oppose Neptune.   I say this only if some of the  major forest fires like the one near Yosemite Nat'l Park which has expanded is still threatening more than 2,000 houses, hotels and camp buildings, the U.S.  and even a volcanic eruption is possible in the area from Lassen Park where Mount Tehama and Lassen Peak to Siskiyou Mountain Range. 

Moving ahead, we look at a chart set for the San Francisco Bay Area - specifically San Francisco where Aquarius is rising @ 5 degrees 40 minutes along side Juno (the asteroid of partnerships) with the Sabian Symbol: A masked figure performs ritualistic acts in a mystery play. This symbol tells of theater, performance, secret revelations, using parables with archetypical stories like the Biblical text. This symbol also begs for caution along with references to rituals and the occult.Modern ruler of this chart, Uranus now in the 2nd house of values opposes Venus now in cardinal Libra and in the house of other people's money and debt - in the financial world something sudden and shocking will occur. Also the moon is found in the first house @ 28 degrees 11 minutes Aquarius with the Sabian Symbol describing the need to break restrictions and make an evolutionary leap: "A butterfly emerging from the crysalis." Since this highly non-traditional moon opposes the dramatically charged Leo stellium including Vesta-Mercury-Ceres and the Sun in the 7th. entertainment, speculation, theater of all kinds will be dominating in the SF. Bay Area.

Back to the events on August 19th. taking us to this ultra-dramatic Full Moon: As the mood shifts in the morning from a lovely lunar trine to Venus in Libra @ 2:20 AM when interludes, meetings and social interactions are harmonious to a more serious frame of mind. The somber aspect has the Moon in Aquarius squares Saturn in Scorpio @ 7:10 AM With this restrained and conservative aspect some folks may feel isolated. Plus issues around revenge and payback will be making news. Already today has been explosive and collison filled from this morning unexpected news (Uranian in nature) Also looking ahead to August 24th. the other part of Venus Cardinal Square perfects in the early AM on Saturday morning when Venus, the sign of currency and values in off-balanced Libra Square Pluto @ 2:59 AM - the Lord of Destruction and Debt It is an understatement to say stressful events may occur during this challenging transit. Without a doubt participation is forced and demanded like this recent article where a recent voice mail from Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton asking for a bribe from a lobbyist. It’s a difficult time for open talks, trust, and sharing. Keep in mind, that Aquarius is a sign that relates to aeronautics, airplanes and aviation:
when a B-1 Bomber crashed in Southeast Montana >"Residents of Ekalaka, Montana tell us that the emergency sirens in that town were activated between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m. to alert the volunteer fire department of the crash." Which happened right around the time the Aquarius Moon progenitor of sudden events
was square the immovable Saturn in Scorpio

By the afternoon we could feel the highly palpable electricity especially after that first square with Saturn in the sign of extremes, Scorpio by 10:10 AM EDT
the moon then was applying to an exact TSQ with the Moons Nodes later in the afternoon when this explosion in Mercer County occurred. 1 Killed In Mercer Co. Plant Explosion- where 10,000-gallon fuel oil tank has exploded at a western Pennsylvania industrial park Pluto was rising ahead of Capricorn @ 12 degrees 52 minutes and opposing Pallas-Jupiter in hysterical Cancer - emergency. The Sabian Symbol for the rising sign is interesting - 13 degrees Capricorn (A fire worshipper meditates on the ultimate realities of existence. ")
Saturn ruler of this chart now direct in Mars ruled Scorpio opposes Taurus S. Node-Astraea - so issues around past injustices and by cardinal squares and the fixed cross. Full Sturgeon Moon The Native Americans called this Full Moon in August theFull Sturgeon Moon because of the abundance of the larger than usual sturgeon which was easily caught during this time of the year, a name that allegedly came from bodies of water including the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain. fish stories are non too pleasant and being told as the erratic, eccentric and shocking Aquarian Moon alternately opposes Vesta-Mercury (sensational stories)-Ceres-the Sun or Ego/Identity in super dramatic Leo
(1) :Biologist: Pacific herring in Canada bleeding from eyeballs, faces, fins, tails — I’ve never seen fish looking this bad
— All 100 examined were bloody — Officials informed of hemorrhaging soon after 3/11 — Gov’t ignoring problem Then from Canada.com-DFO investigating reports of bleeding herring
(2) A rescue would have been great and inspiring but...
42 foot Fin Whale stranded on Stinson Beach dies

With Pluto opposing Jupiter-Pallas in Cancer, rescue attempts are a matter of cours A whale discovered stranded and barely breathing on Stinson Beach early Monday died despite a rescue attempt by veterinarians, officials said.




Update August 20th: 
Perhaps one of the most unstable, shocking and explosive with a capital X lunation will be felt in Washington DC and in the Eastern Daylight Savings where Aries is rising with Uranus in a classic war signature and adolescent pranks  @ 12 degrees 03 minutes of Aries Sabian: " A bomb which failed to explode is now safely hidden from discovery. " Relating to explosive, pressure-cooker energies which need to be released. 

 We saw  in NJ that an explosion and fire at the Naval Weapons Station Earle in Middletown left 8 people hurt today.   
The facts: "an explosion happened during maintenance work on a 35-foot utility vessel in one of the buildings along the waterfront around 9 a.m."  At that time, Virgo was rising @ 29 degrees 55 minutes with this Sabian Symbol - "Having an urgent task to complete, a person doesn't look to any distractions." This symbol tells of a single-minded will or pushing thru with work but with Venus intercepted in the first in Libra opposing Uranus in Aries (sudden event dealing with the military) and part of a Grand Cardinal Cross where Pluto is at Ground Zero at the Weapons Station opposing Jupiter at the Mid-Heaven it appears that
some kind of welding accident took place or a propane tank exploded. The blast blew a hole through the roof of the building.

Regarding the adolescent and dangerous side of this Full Moon. 
First In Georgia a teen was in custody Tuesday, accused of firing shots from an assault rifle
In fact the suspect, was a  19-year-old man with no clear ties to the school, who fired at least a half-dozen shots with an assault rifle...
Even more unfortunate the tragic and senseless killing of an Aussie baseball player by Oklahoma teens really caught us off guard.  Although the murder of Christopher Lane occurred on Friday, August 17th. the teenagers were charged today. Two of the teens - age 15 and 16 - were charged with first-degree murder  ordered held without bond. The 17-year-old was charged as an accessory; his bail was set at $1 million.

No matter how much denial is embraced the illusion of control will fall apart making it almost impossible to  handle the most chaotic and anarchistic forces spilling over everywhere.
Speaking of rebellion from the states-right point of view it appears that North Coloradans have voted to on secession and becoming a 51st state.
Per the article in RT.com - "The Weld County commissioners on Monday voted to add the 51^ststate initiative to the ballot this November."
