Virgo New Moon 8 -9-10 Stars of Catastrophes and Natural Disasters

Hubble Spies an Amazing Cosmic Spiral
he Hubble Space Telescope’s Advanced Camera for Surveys has captured a remarkable image of a spiral in space. I would say as perfect as can be formed and despite the next sentence bearing close resemblance to the image of the December 2009 - Norway Spiral.
No, not a spiral galaxy, (and not another Norway Spiral!) but the formation of an unusual pre-planetary nebula in one of the most perfect geometrical spirals ever seen. The nebula, called IRAS 23166+1655, is forming around the star LL Pegasi (also known as AFGL 3068) in the constellation of Pegasus.





Tomorrow's New Moon is a type of SuperMoon where Luna is in Perigee or a distance of closest approach to the earth. Since the sign is Virgo, you might want to check out a table provided by Richard Nolle which details all the SuperMoons both new and full moons from the year 2,000 to 2100.
During this lunation where the dualistic side of Virgo might show a well organized face
where inwardly and deep within the infrastructure everyting is breaking down.
On a mundane side with Mars-Venus together in Libra followed by Vesta all in the 2nd house of values. The 2nd house signifies money markets, banks and financial institutions, investments, national wealth and values and
represents the conditions of supply and demand. So this passionate pari in balancing Libra are trine Neptune/Chiron in the natural 6th house of Virgo. The sixth house of course relates to public health, sanitation, food, national service, army, navy, police, and the working class. With this much Virgo, the healing of national wounds around 6th House matters like workers, the laboring classes, unions, labor organizations, wage conditions, employment and unemployment becomes unavoidable.

This Virgo Moon is wittingly complex or is that fittingly over analytical as Sun-Moon join
and are forced to integrate the right brain part of nature via certain Fixed stars both in aspect and paran. Since Uranus went back into Pisces on August 13th. the fixed star SCHEAT
has been in close aspect with SCHEAT @ 29 degrees and 32 mintutes. SCHEAT continues close to both Uranus and Jupiter during tomorrow's luantion.
Since Fixed stars travel due to precession at a rate of less than one minute per year, so they need seventy-two years to move slightly more than one degree of arc. SCHEAT relates to catastrophes caused by the weather, airplane accidents and shipwrecks. By August 21st. heading towards the Pisces Full Moon, there had already been two waves floofing in Pakistan causing major tragedy along with Major floods on China-North Korea border.
Around that time on August 19th we heard that Bolivia followed Russia declaring emergency over giant forest fires.


Menkar was prominent at the time of the Leo New Moon
on Aug. 9th and relates to large fires. Speaking of fires that were raging in both
Colorado and Detroit - Downed power wires blamed in some Detroit fires In Detroit: "High winds were causing dead limbs to fall from trees, knocking down the wires which have been igniting, Varnas said."

On August 9th. Alderamin was also culminating with the Sun-Moon and relates to large earthquakes. Speaking of quakes on August 10th VANUATU had a nummer of aftershocks after the 7.3 mega quake on Tues. Aug. 10th at 04:23:46 PM at epicenter
I would be remiss to say that within a week of this New Moon another 7.0 or greater quake will occur. Recently this article talking about the 2010 Earthquake Frequency Graphic to show that since 2009, We’ve gone from a couple Mag 7 earthquakes every other month to 2-3 per month. Others are predicting that this September there will be at least three Mag 7+ quakes. Even saying that before the end of the year, not a week will go by without a Mag 7+ quake. No question that the potential is
seeded in this new moon.

Suffice to say stars like Thuban which relates to poisoning of rivers and the air with be conjunct Mercury, covering up environmental damage won't work no matter which agency spouts off. Thuban, is a pale yellow star in the constellation Draco the Dragon.
Since Thuban is rising with Mercury, it could represent prospectors or protectors of gold and silver. Thuban could also indicate the money managers (this might include accountants, clerical workers, cashiers etc. )

So let's get on with it: Fixed Stars in Paran for the New Moon over DC @ 6:30 AM EDT
The HELIACAL RISING STAR is Alphard a an orange star in the neck of the constellation Hydra or Water snake. signifying living on the edge amid intense emotional encounters. Alfard is also prominentently linked to accidents @ around 27LEO28 and according to Robson:When rising can cause trouble, anxiety and loss in connection with estates and building
The HELIACAL SETTING STAR Sadalmelik seems more benign.
Sadalmelik, is a third magnitude pale yellow star on the right shoulder of the constellation Aquarius 1° south of the celestial equator.

MARKAB from Pegasus is important during this lunation culminating with the Sun on the nadir which relates to highly energetic forces, that are unlucky, impermanent involving martial honors and disappointed ambitions - sounds like Petraeus in Afghanistan.
When we look at the background themes for the last several months we find
Uranus is setting with Markab - relating to large mass off public opinion, Public expectations. Markab, is a white star on the wing of the Winged Horse - Pegasus.
Markab is Arabs' word for a Saddle, Ship, or Vehicle,— anything ridden upon and shows up
consistently regarding accidents or injuries. Markab also augurs danger from cuts, blows, stabs and fire...


Pegasus
Another important legend involving Pegasus: Pegasus was born from the blood of Medusa (see Algol) after Perseus had cut off her head, and was after wards tamed and ridden by Bellerophon. Going deeper into this legend and the The Pegasus Syndrome, which is reflected by the legends of Perseus and Bellerophon. This syndrome is concerned with the innate ability possessed by some people to negotiate difficulties by rising above them, on the one hand, and the danger of overreaching themselves, on the other. Pegasus, by birth, is the child of Medusa and Neptune, symbols of 'wisdom' and 'emotion,' respectively, which shows the dichotomy of his nature. As in the story, Bellerophon attempted to fly to Olympus (overreach his potential). He believed that Pegasus was subject to his will. However, it was Pegasus who made it to Olympus, while Bellerophon was tossed back to earth, lame and reproached by others.

Algol again...
Remember too that Pluto - The Crises or the Changes that Occur during this time
Pluto is thus Culminating when Algol is Rising which may relate to assassinations or efforts to kill one's enemies - something like the CIA hit list or maybe something like the Webots predicted where the famous began meeting mysterious deaths.
Jupiter is also On Nadir when Algol is setting and
Jupiter is also Rising when Algol is Rising which is more about confronting evil and voicing what others are afraid to say!
yes we have already seen the effect the most evil star in the heavens (per Robson)
Algol also relates to major meteorological phenomena...

Deneb Adige, is a brilliant white star in the tail of the Swan is also rising as the sun
is culminating. Being in curtailed passage it will last a while giving way to images of
a Black Swan event. Manilus poetically speaks of the astrological influences of the constellation Cygnus "In its own person the Swan hides a god (as being in the disguise of Jupiter) and the voice belonging to it; it is more than a bird and mutters to itself within"



Pairs and Skeptics.

I mentioned yesterday about some of the retrograde pairs that will interact with tomorrow's new moon in Virgo. The left-brain skeptics may seem bolstered but they will meet challenges as this article by Amitakh Standord entitled Error in Rigour says: Under the “rule of science”, anything that is supernatural or metaphysical is often scoffed at or outright scorned. The scientific rulers have encouraged skeptics to belittle various phenomena, such as: UFO sightings, alien encounters, religious experiences, spirit communications, ghosts, astral beings,
Tomorrow's new moon with the retrograde motion of Jupiter into Pisces and Venus direct into Scorpio opens up decidedingly more dimensions as science only provides technology but also unsubstantiated theories which should not be treated as religious beliefs


Passion and Debt Go into High Gear
There is another pair which up until September 8th @ 8:45 AM PDT will both be in cardinal Libra - Venus ruler of the scales (along with Juno) enters Scorpio.
Mars enters the sign of the Scorpion on Sept. 14th joining his sexy partner.
Be aware that Venus stations retrograde on October 8th @ 13 Scorpio 13 with the Sabian Symbol for 14 degrees: "Telephone linemen at work after a tornado, one taps into a line to request more cable, while the other taps into his girlfriend's line. "
Yes Venus will station retro. next to Mars in Scorpio expect both intense, passionate and obsessive behavior in all kinds of areas. From the financial side this retrograde period with Pluto direct (as of Sept. 13th) will put an even bigger spotlight on worldwide debt.
With this pair together in Scorpio, the chance of huge market crash is particularly troubling or at least a 20% drop on the DOW and S&P. Of course with this super complex Virgo Moon opening all kinds of doors to the Equinox on September 22nd and Aries Full Moon on September 23rd. hitting those resonant frequencies of the Cardinal Climax again - a major tipping point is inevitable.

New Moon in Virgo its a Retrograde World Afterall Part One

So here we are less than two days before the next new moon in Virgo finishing off
a Leo Moon which has separated from an opposition to Neptune with a sextile a quiet, more pleasant sextile to Venus. But it has not been quiet with fireballs hurdling across the Colombian sky yesterday. Business is not as usual in Columbia or on Labor Day with Mercury leading Jupiter and Uranus, Neptune and Chiron all retrograde along with Pluto
and the nodes. Back to the sky news...
Officials confirmed the phenomenon was a meteorite that left a crater 100 meters in diameter where it crashed into the earth in the San Joaquin municipality in Santander - Video below:


If a huge spiral shaped fireball wasn't enough, there was an 11th hour asteroid discovery
with another pair calculated to pass as close as 0.21 lunar distance from earth.
Another unexpected bit of space news involves yesterday's discovery of two near earth asteroids which make close pass by Earth Sept 7th/8th. In fact the smaller object, 2010 RF12, will be the more favorable observing target in that it passes closest at about 0.21 lunar-distance, i.e. about 80,000 km.
A lot of this started on August 20th, when Mercury, the cosmic messenger, began retrograde motion @ 20 degrees Virgo (Sabian symbol: An automobile caravan)
Expect many hassles around transportation to blow up as an oppositions to Uranus is exact on October 2nd. Mercury also opposes Jupiter on October 1st. since Jupiter retrogrades back into more compassionate, emotional and a bit insane Pisces on Sept. 8th day of the lunation. Jupiter will then conjunct Uranus on September 18th for some real volatility whether in the stock markets or with socio-political hot buttons.
Uranus relates not just to figurative explosive situations but literally - watch the news! We will see more shocking news items, swift and unexpected innovation, and accelerated changes as the high priest (jupiter) and the reformer (uranus) get together
Uranus deals with controversy and bizarre behavior espoecially in Pisces.
Controversial or radical persons make news from Paris to Prince Harry.
Prince Harry who was born a Virgo Sept. 15, 1984 rides his way into middle of polo controversy Harry who has Juno, Vesta, Mercury conjunct in Virgo and square his natal Uranus/Mars in Sagittarius ( risks with horses). His Mars-Uranus conjunction in Sag. with a penchant for adventure and risk overpowers his Sun (identity) in Virgo @ 22 degrees. You would think he would have shown some restraint with Capricorn rising. Maybe it is the fact that Harry has natal Uranus in a close opposition to Chiron in Gemini?
Harry injured a polo pony in an overly exuberant application of his riding spurs. A photograph published in the U.K. Daily Mail shows that the young prince continued to ride the horse in competition in spite of the blood from the horse's wound.

Mercury-Uranus in opposition is also about protests, challenging authorities and putting out detailed information that pushes the conventional viewpoints of what is normal!
Like I said accidents: September 4, 2010: Besides the huge quake in South Island's main city, Christchurch, another unexpected event happened.
on Saturday in New Zealand which would reflect the Moon TSQ Jupiter in Aries and Saturn in LIbra a dangerous and fiery plane crash.
New Zealand probes plane crash that killed nine



In the New Moon chart below set for 6:30 AM EDT. with Virgo ascending and Sun-Moon rising
we find the ruler Mercury in the 12th house - a hidden and cadent house. Cadent in Latin means "to fall", the Cadent houses are those which "fall away" from the Angles, namely the 3rd, 6th, 9th and 12th houses. In this chart the 6th house or natural house for Virgo has Neptune and Chiron both retrograde in Aquarius and Neptune is the ruler for Pisces where Jupiter will be at 9:51 PM also retrograde.

Also the discovery yesterday of two asteroid about to make a close pass to earth in the next two days. In fact the smaller object, 2010 RF12, will be the more favorable observing target in that it passes closest at about 0.21 lunar-distance, i.e. about 80,000 km.
Looking back to August 20th Mercury, the cosmic messenger and ruler of Virgo, began retrograde motion @ 20 degrees Virgo (Sabian symbol: An automobile caravan)
Expect many accidents and hassles around transportation to blow up especially with the coming oppositions to Uranus.
Uranus relates not just to figurative explosive situations but literally - watch the news! Even though Mercury won't be in exact opposition to Uranus till Oct. 2nd due to retrograde, we are already seeing many shocking news items, off the wall discoveries and innovation, and plus swift changes.
Uranus deals with controversy and bizarre behavior and lifestyle aberations in Pisces.
Many controversial or radical persons make news from Paris to Prince Harry. In . Mercury-Uranus in opposition is also about protests, challenging authorities
and putting out detailed information that pushes the conventional viewpoints of what is normal! .



We usually thing of the sign Virgo as bringing the utmost in service, practicality, work ethic and health. Even though a mutable sign, Virgo always seems pretty steady, discriminating and at times methodical but since Virgo's co-ruler, Mercury stationed (appeared to stand still)retrograde on August 20th we are seeing a much more dualistic nature of Virgo. Mercury stationed a 19 degrees 03 Virgo with the Sabian symbol or 20 degrees Virgo - an automobile caravan relating to lots of transportation issues and yes accidents.
Since August 20th and August 24th with the Full Moon, he changeable nature of Virgo is readily apparent in everything from landslides that bury bus travelers to Volcanoes going off. Like on August 28th Mount Sinabung, quiet for 400 years erupts in Indonesia. There is a good/evil - black white dicotomy which seems to reflects two symbolic figures in this case the maiden/Virgin and bird (often depicted as a maiden with wings. The other ruler of Virgo, Vesta who is the sister of Jupiter and Juno also choose to remain a virgin and not marry. Virgo is anything but a virgin sexually.
Events since the Sun-Neptune opposition on August 20th which preceded
the Full Moon in Pisces (Aug. 24th) near Neptune and Chiron have been crazy and as I said filled with desperation, idealogical obsessions and lots of hysterical outcries. Outcries especially over Muslims and religious differences. Most notably the Mosque at ground zero. Another Mercury retrograde example Two Men Held On Terrorism Precrime Charges as Anti-Muslim Hysteria Reaches Fevered Pitch
The arrest of two men in Amsterdam on “preparation of a terror attack” charges were reversed. In fact on Sept. 1st Two Yemeni Men Set Free in Netherlands Days after "Suspicious" Luggage Set Off Terror Hysteria
Marsexactly trines Neptune on Sept. 9th one day after the New Moon but the religious, idealistic confusion has hit a third act climax with actions like Koran burning: Top US commander: Burning Quran endangers troops The top U.S. and NATO commander in Afghanistan warned Tuesday that an American church's threat to burn copies of the Muslim holy book the Quran could endanger U.S. troops in the country and Americans worldwide. Holy Shiite! We will have major trouble when Mars enters Scorpio and sextiles Pluto on September 18th - Yom Kippur - two extremist planets are in aspect.
August 29, 2010: Now that Mercury is retrograde and in orb of a shocking opposition to Uranus (the cosmic trickster) the
mainstream media is forced to counter an little bit of truth coming thru especially with Mercury also in orb of a trine to Pluto (deception)
Corporate Media Dismisses Castro’s Bin Laden Claim As Far-Fetched Conspiracy Theory
August 28, 2010: With Moon in militarisitic Aries (relates to war and soldiering) with an opposition to Saturn-Mars
while Mercury in Virgo (Virgo to servicemen) opposing Uranus the shocker

Old soldier drops three explosive bombshells
The biggie is of course that he Saw a live Roswell alien - yeah he saw a grey...
The account, very much sixth house day to day for a solider but:
In the summer of 1950, Paul was in the U.S. Army and working at Camp Wallace on the James River in Virginia...‘All right, I’ll give you a brief look at it.’ So he opened the door.”

Behind the door, just 15 to 20 feet from him, was an alien standing in a small cage with a base that was only three to four feet square. The alien was about 4 ½ feet tall and only wearing briefs.

Pisces Full Moon - Die for Ideals or Live for Health

Now that we have reached the Last Qtr. Moon phase with Luna @ 9 degrees 31 Gemini
and the Sun @ 9 degrees 31 Virgo we are seeing some pattern to the dissolving chaos
of the Pisces Full Moon.


The 3rd. or last qtr. moon phase can help expand our awareness, since it is about necessary turning points when both conscience and a need resolve our problems is at the forefront. The last quarter moon is also about an idealism which becomes inflexible even hardened. This Moon phase leading to the detailed and health oriented Virgo New Moon on Sept. 8th reflects a tremendous tension in social consciousness or ideological awareness. Today's phase tends to breed spokesman for the collective who are prepared to sacrifice for those same collective demands.
Mars is also in a trine with Neptune causing some people like the Discovery Gunman to attack others for their beliefs.
So today's big story was about James J. Lee Believed to Be Environmental Protester who took Hostages in Discovery Channel Building

The inner wheel chart set for 1 PM EDT when Lee entered the building and waved a handgun shows Scorpio rising and Pallas in the 12th house reflecting a deep level of vengeance on his part Note that the ruler of the chart Mars is in the 11th house of large groups trine Neptune-Chiron in the 3rd (media disseminating his crazed beliefs. This all relates to the last qtr. moon. Looking at the outer chart wheel with Capricorn rising when James J. Lee was shot dead at 4:48 PM EDT. Yes Saturn ruled Capricorn was rising and Pluto (lord of the underworld) was in the doomed 12th. Perhaps we will find a connection to some
clandestine false flag.
Scorpio was in Mid-Heaven as opposed to rising when the gunman entered the building.
Revenge and mistaken beliefs are what got him killed with Saturn-Mars in the 9th square Pluto and the Nodes of destiny.
Police kill gunman who held 3 at Discovery Channel




Also today a story broke about an incident last night (August 31st)
Man survives 39-story NYC suicide jump (Suicides attempted relate to Uranus, the 12th house and Neptune
Thomas Magill, 22, underwent surgery for two broken legs Tuesday night after landing feet-first on the roof of a parked Dodge belonging to a construction worker from Jersey.

Yeserday August 31st the big story reflected the Aug. 24th Full Moon with Regulus culminating in paran with the Moon being at MidHeaven - Regulus in this case deals

Obama discussed what Iraqis must do now that the U.S. has ended combat operations, re-affirmed America's commitment to the war in Afghanistan, and ended with a focus on the economy and restoring the middle class in America.


Heading toward the Virgo New Moon with Sun and Moon @ 15 Virgo 40 minutes
applying to an opposition to Uranus with this curious Sabian Symbol : "An Aborigine seeking food and companionship enters the crumbling outskirts of a modern Australian city." Allowing us to see our more primitive, instinctual side which wants to follow
intuitive desires and at the same time cling to human dignity.

Full Moon of Conspiracy, Paranoia and Craziness Part One

The Pisces Full Moon is almost here and the bizarre and even martyr like behavior has already escalated.
Of course the fact that Neptune (ruler of this moon) is traveling next to Chiron the wounded healer and both of them retrograde has something to do with it. Drugs, pharmaceuticals, stem cells, depression, fears, hallucinations to name a few themes. Not to mention that Mercury is retrograde in the sign of service and the police, Virgo Just today we saw a a 12-hour drama involving 8 hostages killed in a Manila bus hijacking. The perpetrator was 55-year-old Rolando Mendoza, a disgruntled ex policeman angry at being sacked from the force. Mendoza in his fit of inasanity hijacked a busload of Hong Kong tourists. Mendoza the suspect apparently wanted his job back (Mercury in Virgo opposing Uranus in Pisces). When we deal with hostage situations, Saturn and Pluto are also usually involved and they are still in orb of a fatalistic square.

Or maybe the fact that the Moon will be at 1 degree 25 minutes Pisces with panicky sabian symbol: "An angelfish draws it's tail across its face, spying a fisherman it darts into the shelter of a coral reef." It is clear that issues around who are the friends and who are the foes playing the victim vs. finding a safe haven are part of this lunation.
Notice that the Sun is right at MidHeaven conjunct Regulus in this chart set for DC. @ 1:05 PM. So in this case Regulus would confer honor, preferment, good fortune, high office under Government along with military success. Except that the Sun is opposing the
trifecta of depression with Neptune/Chiron and the Moon all on the IC. The IC and 4th house signify the land, its values, harvest per real estate and agriculture, housing and living conditions. The Moon will seem to cast a pale of the foundation or base of the society and its traditions in the US. Neptune is also sesquiquadrate the S. Node/Cancer in the 8th house adding irritation or agitation to the growing debt, international finance, multi-national corporations and social security.



Another example of how convoluted the world of conspiracies and whistleblowers has become comes in the video below with Dr. Horowitz along with independent journalist Sherri Kane. Horowitz was the "first researcher," internationally, to decree the World Health Organization's pharmaceutical fraud from the start of the 2009 H1N1 Swine Flu fright.
Revelations by Dr. Horowitz and Sherri Kane have learned that independent journalists and whistleblowers are increasingly being reported murdered and libeled (discredited) in an apparent conspiracy targeting leaders in the alternative medicine (anti-vaccination), patriot, activist, communities.


Looking at the fixed stars in paran for this Full Moon
Pluto which represents The Crises or the Changes that Occur
(1)Pluto is on the Nadir when Diadem is Rising
A lone sacrifice that can change a nation
(2)Pluto is Setting when Alphecca is Setting
Those who seek power come undone - here we see another example of the shifts of power
that are continuing. Alphecca, is a brilliant white star in the Corona Borealis
Alphecca is also on the Nadir with the Sun rising which according to Robson involves
a brilliant mind, self-seeking, subject to scandal that does not affect the position.
(3)Pluto is Culminating when Algol is Rising
Assassination, to kill one's enemies

Saturn-Pluto TSquare Jupiter Forcing Transformation

Yesterday I mentioned some of the elements that are adding to the stress of change
and major transformations. Today I will focus on one of the most strident which is pushing the very nature of survival and security: the Saturn-Pluto
synodic cycle with Saturday's exact square from Saturn-Libra to Pluto-Capricorn.
Jupiter although fading back in Pisces on September 8th. remains in orb @ 2 Aries
adding more tension to the economic demise worldwide.
More succinctly Saturn-Pluto squares in cardinals signs deal with major shifts of power. (the last one in Sept. 1973 with Saturn in Cancer TSQ Pluto in Libra and N Node in Capricorn). Power taken by force. On 11 September 1973, the government of President Salvador Allende was overthrown by the Chilean military in a coup d’état. General Pinochet assumed power and ended Allende's democratically elected Popular Unity government.

August 21st: All things end and others begin - Applying Saturn Square Pluto @ 2:47 AM
The next phase of the Cardinal Climax kicks into high gear with the Saturn-Pluto Cycle where history is forged. Major social and economic transformations are in set in motion.
Resistance Now is the call against the e powers that be.
This is a time of Territorial disputes, boundaries are enforced, scarcities, and obsessions prevail. safety and security become dominant issues during this transit.
especially with Saturn direct in Libra and Pluto ready to move direct in Cappy. - All about Authorities who limit or control freedom and activities plus they may levy taxes. Survival itself becomes an issue, and many may feel trapped and depressed.

From Merriman: PLUTO IN CAPRICORN:
THE GOOD, THE BAD, EVEN WORSE, AND REDEMPTION
Standing like a huge monolith rising out of the earth in the middle of nowhere, and casting a very long shadow over all the other signatures within the forthcoming “Cardinal Climax,” stands Pluto in Capricorn. This is the initial signature that starts the complex and fascinating cosmic pattern of the “Cardinal Climax,” and it is the last to leave.

Not sure how fascinating this period will be but it sure has its share of disasters...
This article seems to echo the type of collapse that is happening with the Titans Saturn-Pluto-Jupiter all in hard aspect
Pakistan floods: disaster of epic proportions raises the spectre of systemic collapse
Pakistan’s lenders must start considering debt cancellation as a form of assistance because it might be a more effective and sustainable solution.

Looking back on the Aug. 9th Leo New Moon set for Washington, DC @ 11:08 PM EDT
we still had Uranus in Aries near Jupiter adding to this destructive TSQ.
Plus the HELIACAL RISING STAR was Acubens
Acubens, is a double star, on the left arm-socket of the Crab - Cancer .
Per Robson: Acubens has the nature of Saturn and Mercury. It has been called "the sheltering of hiding place," and gives activity, malevolence and poison, making its natives liars and criminals.
Well that sounds familiar with the lies coming from every qtr. whether it be the FDA
BP or Obama. Also when rising, Acubens relates to questions and issues around the sacredness of life and survival. Like the Gulf of Mexico where Gulf fishermen being held responsible for toxic seafood! Note that the S Node in Cancer deals with food, agriculture, sustenance per past issues. Soon Saturn will be TSQ both the S Node in Cancer and N Node in Capricorn - in fact Sept 27th is that day.
Expect the Gulf Seafood issues to enlarge along with other food recalls including eggs.

HELIACAL SETTING STAR was Altair on the Leo New Moon of August 9th for DC
Altair is a pale yellow star in the neck of the constellation Eagle or Aquila.
According to Ptolemy the influence of Aquila is similar to that of Mars and Jupiter. It is said to give great imagination, strong passions, indomitable will, a dominating character, influence over others, clairvoyance, a keen penetrating mind and ability for chemical research.
Altair setting with the Sun relates to bold action and risk taking and also to notoriety, honors along with per Robson: some ill-health and losses, danger of bites from venomous animals.



On Saturday, Aug. 21st when the square perfected, new more restrictive rules for travelers were announced.
New Logan searches blasted as TSA becomes even more invasive.
"Logan airport security just got more up close and personal as federal screeners launched a more aggressive palms-first, slide-down body search technique that has renewed the debate over privacy vs. safety."
Saturn relates to these kind of limitations and security measures while Pluto adds to the
transformation that ensues while Jupiter deals with travel. My guess is that the general public will respond with some resistance than settle in..

Kucinich compares Iraq ‘exit’ to Bush’s ‘Mission Accomplished’
Before we look at Kucinich comments consider this action as another shift of power or
semblance of shift. With Saturn in Libra, diplomacy and negotiation rule while Pluto in Capricorn always means a hidden agenda whether in political or financial realms.

According to a Libra, peace oriented politician (rare indeed) Dennis Kucinich
Orwell in charge? Kucinich compares Iraq ‘exit’ to Bush’s ‘Mission Accomplished’ Dennis blasts the White House obvious spin around Iraq
“Who is in charge of our operations in Iraq , now? George Orwell? A war based on lies continues to be a war based on lies. Today, we have a war that is not a war, with combat troops who are not combat troops. In 2003, President Bush said ‘ Mission Accomplished ‘ . In 2010, the White House says combat operations are over in Iraq , but will leave 50,000 troops, many of whom will inevitably be involved in combat-related activities.

Before the Full Moon, the Age of Hysteria and Grim Passion Begins

Since the Last New Moon in super-dramatic Leo on August 9th the performance and expression
countered idealism and confusion. As we get ready for the Next Full Moon on August 24th
with Sun @ 1 degree 25 minutes Virgo and the Moon in a state of hysteria @ 1 degree 25 minutes Pisces next to Neptune-Chiron.


In fact on this next lunation the Pisces Moon will translate the light from the last time Chiron entered Pisces on April 19th/20th @ 11:33 PM PDT or 2:33 AM EDT. the same day that the Deepwater Horizon Oil rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico. Also note that Mercury stationed retrograde yesterday and the last time that happened was (April 17-May 11)

Just yesterday (August 20th) the climax of this Full Moon occurred with Sun-Neptune/Chiron in exact opposition. The addition of Chiron really kicked this into high gear as the wounded healer demanded that we take notice.
Related to this of course was that Mercury, the cosmic messenger, began retrograde motion @ 20 degrees Virgo (Sabian symbol: An automobile caravan)
Expect many hassles around transportation to blow up especially with the coming oppositions to Uranus.
Mercury will be retrograde till September 12th
Mercury retro. will keep the tension and shock waves going since Uranus moved into Pisces (Aug.13th) setting up even more hysterical conflicts between the cosmic trickster Uranus and the planetary messenger Mercury. Even though Mercury won't be in exact opposition to Uranus till Oct. 2nd due to retrograde
We will see more shocking news items, innovation, and swift changes since Uranus deals with controversy and bizarre behavior particularly in Pisces. Controversial or radical persons make news. Mercury-Uranus in opposition is also about protests, challenging authorities and putting out detailed information that pushes the conventional viewpoints of what is normal!

Mosque Controversy Moving toward Seventh Day November 3, 2010
Oh yeah, let's not forget the ensuing Mosque controversy at Ground Zero where conflict is fueled from both sides. Where the talking heads can't stop spewing out worthless chatter. Divide and conquer is the game, causing panic, fear, anger more food for the
reptilian powers that be..
Fox News co-owner funded ‘Ground Zero mosque’ imam: report
According to the report from Yahoo!'s John Cook, Saudi Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal, who owns seven percent of News Corp., "has directly funded [Imam Feisal Abdul] Rauf's projects to the tune of more than $300,000."

Not about petty religious controversies, we are moving swiftly at an accelerated pace toward the Seventh Day of the Galactic Underworld..
The reality is that East finally be on parity with West as we head toward the start of the Day Seven of the Galactic Underworld?
per Robert Lorenz, Ph.D.from his newsletter: regarding the last cycle dubbed the Planetary Underworld which was from 1755 till 1999. The Seventh Day of the Planetary Underworld from 1992 to 1999 with major economic growth via the flat earth view where wealth moved from the US. to aboard. Lorenz: "during the Seventh Day of the Planetary Underworld the seeds of the dualistic Galactic Underworld were sown, with the evolutionary aims of transcending the material frame of life and consciousness, and also the balancing of the dualities established during the National Underworld between East and West, the left- and right-hemispheres of the brain, spirituality and materialism, and men and women."



Serious Drama with Sun opposing Neptune/Chiron

We are still under the influence of yesterday's Sun-Neptune opposition which coincides
with indecisiveness, the reaching of an impasse, scandals, and other uncertain conditions.
Also with the addition of Mercury moving retrograde expect changes or breakdowns in agreements, glitchs and more scandals
Plus confusion and disension within religious circles will occur. Leo is about performance and rock concerts fall in that area..
while Neptune relates to suicide, depression and with Chiron injuries effecting us on a collective level.

Grim Passions

In fact August 20th was a "Big Day" to say the least with that Venus -Mars conjunction in peace and love Libra - No attack on Iran folks!
Thankfully Venus-Mars will be traveling together within two degrees orb past the next Full Moon till August 31st ...
Both were in orb of a TSQ to the Moon's Nodes in Capricorn/Cancer dealing with Security and Survival.
Keep in mind that Venus is in conjunction with Mars inspires passions to run hot - emotions will be bouncing off the walls. Many people will start feeling more sexy, daring and ready to try new things in relationships
Cooperation is the key as we are motivated by feelings of attraction or devotion.
A time for action in money matters, love, romance and sex - especially sex.

and the Sibley US Chart as Inner Wheel
Placing Mars-Saturn right on the US. MC with Uranus-Jupiter on the IC
So the angry fighter Mars is aroused but frustrated transiting over the house hat rules the government, the leadership or ruling class. In a nation's chart it rules the national reputation and prestige,
Uranus-Jupiter in self identified and confronting Aries are at the IC of the US Foundation Chart. Jupiter is about travel and Uranus deals with sudden action so:

Since the 4th house the land, its values as real estate and agriculture, housing and living conditions, the urge to fight for these values is strong. The IC represents the foundation or base of the society and its traditions. It is a place which reflects nationalism and patriotism...




At metaphor for this Mars alignment relates to "sudden" and primal reactions Like
Video Below showing over 300 alligators in a feeding frenzy swimming in a Georgia river


Keep in mind that when the Boxing Day or Sumatran Tsunami took place on Dec. 26th 2004
@ 6:58 PM NSUT - 6:30, Mars had just changed signs into Sagittarius the night before!
Even though Mars entered a mutable sign Sagittarius on 10:34 PM on 2004 it was square Uranus in Pisces. On July 30th we have Mars in a cardinal sign opposing Uranus in Aries
representing primal fire. Expect something huge to occur...


The month is ending on an even more turbulent note as we head toward the next earth shaking opposition on July 30th. Let's get a perspective of the build up to the Mars-Uranus opposition.

July 29th. The Big News is Mars entering Libra on @ 4:47 PM - fierce fighter for peace
Tension builds as the ending Pisces Moon opposes Venus in purist Virgo
Emotions are over the top. Estrogen session as relations with women present challenges. Rational choices are bypassed as things progress.

Getting back to Mars in Libra , who wants to solve problems with charm, diplomacy and can be too indecisive. But things just ain't normal with this shocking opposition to Uranus.
The date for this is July 30th exactly @ 6:32 AM PDT or 9:32 AM EDT
But first on July 30th: Mercury Trines Pluto 3:03 AM and Pluto is TSQ in the chart above in the first house
Voices are raised with challenging words spoken and tough agendas for change are announced. It’s a good time for intelligence- gathering operations, spies, espionage and all that other Black Ops stuff - way beyond what WikiLeaks reports.

There is a chance that new fires will be started just as the others are put out
Firefighters gain ground on 2 wildfires in Kern County

Like a shot that ricochets, the hits keep coming as the Moon opposes Saturn @ 3:16 PM
A more serious, self- consciousness even restrictive period begins.
The Aries Moon squares Pluto in Capricorn @ 8:16 PM
Powerful emotions, primal instincts like jealousy and territoriality are fired up.
It feels like a time for a massive change.
Just a few minutes later the Moon dances with Jupiter both in the I AM sign of Aries
Luck is back along with generosity, benevolence, successful actions and new collaborations.

Back to that reverberating transit of MARS IN LIBRA

The Sabian Symbol for this Maritian Ingress: 1 deg. Libra : A butterfly made perfect by a dart through it.

And with Saturn in the same degree, there is really a feeling of the trap being set.
Wounding as part of the process

This time Mars in gentlemanly Libra is pushed too far.
Mars-Uranus in hard aspects also mean explosions and explosive events.

Mars-Uranus oppositions are known for serious accidents and collisions which we are already seeing:

No Survivors in Pakistan Plane Crash, Investigation Underway

Besides more calamities happening with this opposition, we are in a time when the fight for freedom and justice will take a surprising and revolutionary turn especially with the MC/IC contacts above.
Also expect more earth and weather changes with these extremes in progress:

Thundrous Aquarian Full Moon: Revelations, Shocks and Revolution

Today's Full Moon Chart set for DC. @ 9:37 PM EDT with Neptune-Chiron Rising



Despite the best efforts by the mainstream media and Hollyweird distractions to continue a "Rosy Picture" of life in America, their is a breakdown. The communications/entertainment machines have been trying to frame BP and the CIA as just good guys and gals that made a few mistakes, but it won't work as turning points are reached with today's Aquarian Full Moon. Before we go into more details note that
he Full Moon @ 2 degrees 59 minutes Aquarius begins @ 6:37 PM PDT or 9:37 PM EDT
The Sabian Symbol for 3 degrees Aquarius: "A deserter from the Army follows a rocky path through the wilderness impelled by a radically different vision of public service. "
When I placed "Revelations" in the title of this blog I was also referring to the doomed US war in Afghanistan. We think we have deserters and objectors now just wait...

Afghanistan war logs: Massive leak of secret files exposes truth of occupation
Game Over Neo-Cons and Obama retards:
A huge cache of secret US military files today provides a devastating portrait of the failing war in Afghanistan, revealing how coalition forces have killed hundreds of civilians in unreported incidents, Taliban attacks have soared and Nato commanders fear neighbouring Pakistan and Iran are fuelling the insurgency.


The sabian symbol above also relates to Mercury opposing Neptune where idealistic notions mislead people
but the deception is exposed for all to see. Neptune also deals with resignations and departures and latest on BP chief Tony Hayward 'negotiating exit deal'
BP's chief executive Tony Hayward has been negotiating the terms of his exit, with a formal announcement likely within 24 hours, the BBC has learned.

It is amazing with the Washington Post story about Top Secret America hitting the news and magazine racks, most Americans still unwilling to talk about this situation which has been escalating since 9/11 and the
specious and highly odious Patriot Act. Since 9/11, the United States government has added some 1,200 groups, 1,900 private corporations and built 33 new buildings (equal to three Pentagons), in 10,000 locations nationwide - reflecting the first passage of Jupiter in Aries (too much military) square Pluto in Capricorn (secret government)
Jupiter-Uranus in Aries sit in the first house of the chart above: the nation, its people
and its image.
The chart above shows Pluto, the transformer in the 11th house. In mundane astrology the 11th house is always about groups and the national purpose or purpose of the group including institutions of government such as the legislature, Congress and the Senate which are about to get shaken by this Thunder Moon (per Native American lore).

The propaganda machine is working overtime with movies (Neptune) like the upcoming RED where Helen Mirren, John Malkovich and Morgan Freeman as former CIA colleagues. Or the current blockbuster SALT where Angelina Jolie plays a CIA superspy in a continual effort to frame the CIA, secret spy assassins as dynamic super heroes or friendly, good guys or aged bumblers.
Well this isn't going to work with BP
The Lion sleeps now more as David Icke proclaims and Lioness per Sun in Leo is protective
over her pride.

The chart above set today's Full Moon in shocking Aquarius over Washington, DC has Neptune-Chiron rising (Neptune also can relate to poisons)

with a powerful opposition to Mercury in Leo
typifying the continual coverup of
BP's horrific actions in the Gulf. Neptune in collective Aquarius deals with all our health and the survival of the ecosystem with this ongoing conjunction to Chiron.
Chiron retrograde frequently has now slipped back into Aquarius on July 20th from it's
brief passage in Pisces dealing with the wounds of the oceans starting on April 19th right before the Deepwater Horizon Explosion .

The two stores below expose the complicity of the government with covering up
the dangerous health effects (Neptune-Chiron together) of Corexit mixed with oil- the criminal acitivies of BP

*JUST IN* Geochemist in Gulf says “When it rains, a lot of junk comes down from the particulate”

EPA Whistleblower Says Federal Government Covering Up Lethality Of Corexit And Lying About BP Gulf Oil Spill Water Samples To Save BP Billions
Here are some highlights of the revelations made by Hugh Kaufman.

Well, Corexit is one of a number of dispersants, that are toxic, that are used to atomize the oil and force it down the water column so that it’s invisible to the eye.


In this case, these dispersants were used in massive quantities, almost two million gallons so far, to hide the magnitude of the spill and save BP money.


And the government—both EPA, NOAA, etc.—have been sock puppets for BP in this cover-up.

Big Shaking Towards the July 25th Full Moon

Moro Gulf Earthquake - 17 August 1976

http://earthquake.phivolcs.dost.gov.ph/update_SOEPD/Earthquake/1976MoroGulfEQ/index-moro.html

A few minutes after the last stroke of midnight on August 17, 1976, a violent earthquake occurred in the island of Mindanao spawning a tsunami that devastated more than 700 kms of coastline bordering Moro Gulf in the North Celebes Sea. This offshore event generated by Cotabato trench, a less prominent trench system in the Philippines, was the largest tsunamigenic earthquake to have occurred in Mindanao in the last two decades. It was an earthquake that resulted in massive destruction of properties and great loss of lives. The tsunami generated contributed immensely to the devastation. The cities and provinces of Cotabato took the brunt of the earthquake while the tsunami generated cast its doom on the provinces bordering Moro Gulf especially on the shores of Pagadian City. According to surveys during the event, the tsunami was responsible for 85% of deaths, 65% of injuries and 95% of those missing. After the sea spent its fury and rolled back to its natural flow, thousands of people were left dead, others homeless or missing and millions of pesos lost with the damages of properties. Properties lost not only include establishments for residential and commercial use, but also bancas that, as a whole, represents the livelihood of hundreds of families.

A Sense of Justice in Relations - Saturn Now in Libra Till 2012

We live in volatile times when swift changes of persona, opinions
and prominence which are accelerating a shift of the balance of power. This was never more apparent today when Saturn finally entered Libra direct and in the sign of the scales till October 5, 2012. Saturn entered Libra today @ 11:10:31 EDT rising with the
ascendant @ critical 29 Virgo 53 with this Sabian for 30 degrees Virgo: "Having an urgent task to complete, a man doesn't look to any Distractions. " Now that Saturn is in a cardinal sign and moving into the first in a series of oppositions with Uranus in Aries on July 26th. Of course there is a longstanding TSQ to Pluto now in cardinal Capricorn where political and corporate structure are under pressure to transform. Pluto in an earth sign is not just about politics, financial scandals but also deals with earthquakes and happenings like landslides or sinkholes.
SINKHOLES EVERYWHERE from Quebec to Guatemala
I bring this up to segway back into Saturn ruler of the Capricorn and exalted in Libra where relationships of all kinds are under scrutiny.


Yesterday the Mainstream Media was feasting on another magnified racial controversy with
all the trappings of an extended scandal.
Reflecting the current Mercury-Leo opposition to Neptune/Chiron-Aquarius where altered perceptions tend to complicate and deceive the nature of communications. With Neptune involved we deal with 12th house issues involving exiles from the mainstream or those who have fallen from grace. Like other manufactured scandals Sherrod's demise on Monday stemmed from a snippet of a surreptitious video on Breitbart's Web site - similar to some extent to the idea of the Gibson tapes recorded secretly. Lest we forget Pallas (asteroid goddess relating to political strategy and justice) is transiting direct in vindictive Scorpio. The Moon was in Scorpio on Monday he 19th with a square to Mercury in
Leo.



Now that Saturn has entered

"This is a good woman," Vilsack said. "She's been put through hell. I could have done and should have done a better job. I'll learn from that experience. I want this agency and department to learn from this experience, and I want us to be stronger for it."


Even White House press secretary Robert Gibbs vindicated Shirley Sherrod "Members of this administration, members of the media, members of different political factions on both sides of this have all made determinations and judgments without a full set of facts,"





Saturn in Libra deals with serious issues in relationships the kind of stuff that is
ready to untangle passionate and angry partnerships like the Gibson

Part Two: July 11th Total Solar Eclipse - Accepting Life vs. Death

Moa (Statues) Facing the Ocean on Easter Island


Another 2010 major astronomical, astrological and even historical event marks our survival as a human race. From the Sun's hyper-activity (pictured above) to the BP Deepwater Disaster, we are on the edge.
Note that we are six months out from the last Annular Solar Eclipse on January 15th.
More importantly, we are exactly six months out from a highly subtle takeover on January 11, 2010 by the self appointed "Illuminati-like" world rulers. That small group that claims to be the masters of our destiny. In this other January blog entry I mentioned: 1-11-2010 @ 11 AM Another Point of Staged Destiny or Spiraling Out of Control

So today a Total Solar Eclipse which is overshadowing life as we know it (Sun-Moon in Cancer). Dire predictions of what is to come not only to the world's oceans
but to many living things are surfacing. Doomsday: How BP Gulf disaster may have triggered a 'world-killing' event


The Total Solar Eclipse today where the path of the Moon's umbral shadow crosses the South Pacific Ocean where it makes no landfall except for Mangaia (Cook Islands) and Easter Island (Isla de Pascua).
The path of totality ends just after reaching southern Chile and Argentina. The Moon's penumbral shadow produces a partial eclipse visible from a much larger region covering the South Pacific and southern South America.
Video: Solar Eclipse 11 July 2010 Rapa Nui (Easter Island)



July 11: The tension and need for action has been building and we are finally here with the second super-powerful eclipse of the summer season.
First the Total Solar Eclipse in Cancer on July 11th @ 19:34:38 UTC
Then the New Moon @ 12:40 PM
Moon and Sun are together in the sign of the Mother, Cancer - time to choose the healing, nurturing aspect of Kuan Yin vs. the Goddess of Destruction, Kali.
Families, children, homes,food, agriculture and domestic stability are all in severe jeopardy.


"Navel of the World"
Ground Zero for today's eclipse is Easter Island where incredible stone statues, or moai, are found. These Moai were carved from 1100-1680 CE (rectified radio-carbon dates). A total of 887 monolithic stone statues have been inventoried on the island. This ancient island steeped in myth of the birdman/Makemake cult" is also the location of the unusual "Navel of the World" lithic (stone) site bordering Ahu Te Pito Kura, near Anakena. In astrological terms the navel relates to Virgo and Venus - Venus just made an ingress into Virgo yesterday! (keep in mind that trans-Neptunian dwarf planet, originally designated 2005 FY9, is named Makemake alluding to a connection of the dwarf planet and Easter Island.



The "Navel of the World" round water worn beach boulder similar to those found in New Zealand. Rapanui today say the central round stone was brought by Hotu Matu'a from his native land, though geologists consider the rock to be locally sourced,The fact that the stone is large and was naturally round indicated that it was charged with "mana" and could be used as a kind of large talisman.

An excerpt from thisinsightful blog:
"What really happened to the Islanders was cultural genocide hidden in plain sight. It is a story of a real Macondo visited by a death that could not be stopped. It is a story of a real Macondo visited by a death that could not be stopped."
Sound familiar: Jared Diamond endeavors in his
book Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Survive. According to Diamond,
the people of Easter Island destroyed their forest, degraded the island’s topsoil,
wiped out their plants and drove their animals to extinction.

Looking at the chart below set for maximum eclipse on Easter Island with Sun-Moon in Midheaven @ 20 degrees Cancer
the sign Cancer prominent dreams, fears and unconscious behaviors dominate.
An interesting Sabian Symbol for 20 degrees Cancer reflects how we need to break thru the armor and defenses within and without. (Cancer is a sign that relates not just to the hard outer covering of the crab/shellfish but to soft inner feelings and potent reproductive organs.
"The main gate of a castle, guarded by a bloodhound and a man in armor.
Seeking to gain admittance, an outsider plys the guard with flattery, whereupon the dog begans to growl. "
This eclipse will motivate many of us to go around established channels seeking new ways to preserve life, limb and Mother Earth.
Scorpio is rising in charts set for Washington, DC, Grand Isle, Louisiana and Easter Island below. The ancient ruler of Scorpio is Mars now transiting in Virgo pushed by Vesta (commitment and focus) moving closer to Saturn. This is real serious stuff and is moving a lot faster than anyone could imagine now that both Uranus and Jupiter are stationing retrograde. It won't be till March 2011 and January 2011 that both planets will be back in the more courageous and ground breaking sign of Aries. In the meantime
they both slip back into the sign of sleep, illusion and oil in August/September of 2010.



A look at the Fixed Stars/Parans for the chart above.
Heliacal Rising: Capella which is quite idealistic but still "the Goat" whether a scapegoat or scrificial. Noonan says: When rising its natives will be curious about all things and have an impatient eagerness to hear anything new. But care must be taken lest the native be overly anxious and take terror at even trivial bits of new information.
Are we just disillusioned or reacting in fear to the Gulf Tragedy or BP's promise to fix it?
Capella a white star and the 6th largest star in the sky marking the goat that the Charioteer is carrying on his left shoulder.
Believing in, and seeking, freedom and fairness

Pt. One: Jully 11th Solar Eclipse - Looking for Heroes Not Violent Explosive/Reactions

Now that we stand at the threshold of Sunday's Total Solar Eclipse, it is apparent
that all the issues involving Jupiter-Uranus in mutable Pisces are coming to both a resolution and greater intensity with this Cardinal Eclipse.

Per example: Deepwater Horizon Oil Rig Explosion on April 20th
Arizona Immigration Law signed into law by Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer on April 23rd .
Multiple stories of Mexican drug cartels wreaking violence and even turning fire on authorities
Jupiter-Uranus in the sign of the intertwined fish reflected escalation of drug wars,
illegal immigration and the consequence of the addiction to oil.


Coming more swiftly than ever is the second eclipse in the summer Saros 12 South Series
on July 11th. Sun-Moon will be at 20 degrees Cancer the sign of the Mother the question is which aspect of the mother. The nurturing Kwan Yin or the brutal Kali or the Reptillian Mother Goddess of ARizona Wilder fame?
Mercury Enters Leo - Multiple Explosions Are Triggered
Activities have heated up today big time as Mercury made an ingress into Leo with trines to both Uranus and Jupiter both in super assertive Aries both signs related to courage and facing fear.
Let's take a look at some recent developments: Oil Field Explosion in Clarke County, Mississippi. Large Evacuation in progress
MERIDIAN — An oil field explosion in Clarke County has sent at least one person to a Laurel hospital. The explosion reportedly occurred at about 4:30 p.m.
The Mercury-Uranus trine occurred exactly @ 7:36 p.m EDT
News comes of London Heathrow Airport warehouse hit by fire
No-one is believed to have been hurt but witnesses report a small number of explosions, probably from gas cylinders on the vehicle.

Looking for Heroes to Defend the Border

KAWEAH, California -- SoCal Martial Law Alerts (SCMLA) interviewed Dutch Joens, host of the Dutch Joens Radio Program, who discussed a call that recently went out to America's militias to muster for at least three days near Arizona's troubled border with Mexico.
The messenger Mercury now in Leo is ultra proud and courageous especially with a trine to Jupiter in Aries where values of freedom and personal dignity are championed. According to Joens, an Arizona militia sent a request out to the nation's Constitutional militias to help secure a 50-mile section of Arizona's southernmost border for at least three days. The evening of July 9, 2010 and will extend at least until July 12, 2010.M

Mars is Strong as the Verdict Comes down in the Mehserle Case

Former BART officer convicted of involuntary manslaughter

The news hit the streets a little after 4 PM PDT when the verdict in the Johannes Mehserle case was read. The cold blooded killing or Oscar Grant was caught on video by several witnesses. Mehserle, fired a single round into the back of Grant, who was black and was lying face-down on the station platform. The Criminal Injustice system is broken perhaps as much as the BP negligence exhibited in the Gulf Oil Catastrophe.
Many persons all over the US from LA to Oakland will be immersed in a sense of hopeless resignation with Venus opposing Neptune @ 4:56 PM PDT. These two planets tend to create
irrational and impractical solutions where emotions dominate. Venus the partner to Mars, then turns Void of Course till July 10th when she changes from super dramatic Leo into earthy practical Virgo. In the meantime when Venus is Void of Course, intense emotions precipitate action. Risks are taken that may not be supported by others. Impulsive decisions will mean major conflicts. Keep in mind that when Oscar was killed on Jan. 1, 2009, Uranus was in Pisces. Uranus rules technology and Pisces signifies video and imagery which reflects the multiple video of Grant's killing on the internet creating a mega collective of witnesses. Pisces of course is the sign of the martyr. Now that Uranus is in Aries the sign of the activist and warrior
resolution to this case will not end well in the short term.

The Chart Below is set for the time of reading the Verdict in LA
Notice that Scorpio is rising @ critical 22 degrees. In traditional astrology 22 degrees of any sign is considered dangerous. Mars is the ruler of the chart below since Mars is considered the ancient ruler of the Scorpion. Expect a show of combative, militaristic strength from the police with Mars in Virgo. In the chart below Mars-Vesta are both heading toward restrictive Saturn. Virgo represents training, service and conditioned mentality along with protocol. Pluto the modern ruler of this chart is in the 3rd. House in destructive TSQ with Jupiter (legal rulings)and Uranus both in aggressive Aries and Saturn @ 29 degrees Virgo. Without a doubt the reactions to this verdict will catalyze rioting and mayhem.



With less than three days away from a Total Solar Eclipse (July 11th @ 19:34:38 UTC)
passions are high as resolutions to crisis seem distant. Tensions and nervous excitement

with a sextile Uranus in Aries @ 1:53 AM. Mars is powerful these days particularly with
Uranus stationing retrograde on July 5th. Mars currently transiting in Virgo near Vesta (the asteroid which represents focus and commitment and can transmute karma by purposeful

Oscar Juliuss Grant III born Feb. 27, 1986 and died January 1, 2009), lived in Hayward, California probably born in Oakland has become a martyr and a symbol for unlawful killing and torture by the police to Black America. Oscar born with Jupiter-Sun-Venus- Mercury
in the sensitive sign of Pisces has become larger than life in his death. His natal chart has Saturn-Juno, Mars and Uranus all in fiery Sagittarius in a volatile square his Pisces planets. Mars alone in Sagittarius much less Saturn and Uranus marked Oscar as a righteous crusader whose killing has ignited a movement in Oakland and other parts of the US. His face is plastered
on the storefronts of businesses in Oakland that want to avoid potential riots when the
verdict is announced this week. His face below has become the lamb's blood which will supposedly dissuade the potential anarchists and rioters from the type of vandalism that occurred on January 7, 2009 right after his murder.

"A woman has risen out of the ocean, a seal is embracing her." This seems fairly tame and with the oceanic reference reflects the possibility of stopping the oil volcano.
BUT another Sabian (Zodiac by Degrees) mirrors the more violent, Aries confrontational
attitude: "Rebel commander leads a charge down the gangplank of a huge warship. "
Uranus the consummate rebel, outsider, independence and risk taking freedom - the symbol of sudden change, independence and risk Uranus is retrograde for about five months out of every year. All difficult aspects to Uranus relate to the unexpected. When Uranus stations retrograde things seem in flux and not secure. Now that the Moon has moved from fiery Aries into Taurus we should expect a stubborn attitude. Since Uranus stations right before Jupiter (July 23rd) emotions explosive and uncooperative toward anyone or anything that represents the status quo. Internally, you may feel like you are so ready to take a risk and just blow off conventional wisdom or prescribed ways of doing things.
A verdict in the Johannes Mehserle Oscar Grant case is expected this week. Johannes Mehserle’s verdict in the Oakland shooting of Oscar Grant will be from Los Angeles. Yet Oakland officials are warning residents not to revert to riots as they did following the January 2009 shooting.

Let's presume that the verdict (represented by Jupiter in the chart below) comes as early as tomorrow, July 6, 2010, activists revealed plans to stage a rally at 14th Street and Broadway after a verdict is announced. The rally will occur at the same location at 6 p.m. the day of the verdict, they said.
The Chart below with Sagittarius Rising @ 11 degrees close to Oscar's natal Saturn-Juno-Mars in Sagittarius which could kick off some volatile and explosive violence.
Even with peaceful Moon in Taurus in a positive sextile to the Sun in tribal Cancer,
we see that the ascendant is square Mars-Vesta-Saturn all in Virgo (sign of police and servicemen). In fact this mutable and dangerous configuration is TSQ that crusading, independent combo of Mars-Uranus in Oscar's natal chart.
Looking at the ruler of the Sagittarius chart we see Jupiter in the sign of primal fire Aries. Jupiter corresponds to justice, juries and jurisprudence so expect a major reaction to the verdict. Jupiter in Aries can reflect intolerance and aggressive convictions sitting alongside Uranus
at the IC/4th house or ground zero for the Oakland Community. Yes Both Jupiter and Uranus
are in close but out of sign opposition with Saturn @ 29 degrees Virgo a compulsive aspect dealing with authority conflicts.




The BART Police shooting of Oscar Grant was a fatal shooting in Oakland, California, United States, in the early morning hours of New Year's Day 2009.
At approximately 2:00 a.m. PST, BART Police responded to reports that up to 12 people were involved in a fight on an incoming train from the West Oakland BART Station and the participants were "hammered and stoned."
Mehserle then stood up, unholstered his gun, a SIG Sauer P226,[3] and fired a shot into Grant's back.[23] Immediately after the shooting, Mehserle appeared surprised and raised his hands to his face; according to Michael Rains,
