Chart for intiation of the process of writing predictions for the weekend starting Friday March 27th of 2009
Although the astrology makes sense, I still do not fully understand why it is the way it is. What I mean is that some of you, perhaps many of you, will find that this weekend will lead you to reconsider the New Year’s resolutions that you made and either kept or broke back in January and February.
I include the above chart for the “Ketarke” of this. Note that Saturn is in the 1st and Ascendant is near a sign change boundary. This implies that I will miss something important, and possibly I may miss something very big. Maybe I am focused on diet and weight loss when, in fact, some huge change happens somewhere else (such as in the Financial Markets).
Well, if it says I “can’t” predict it, then I won’t.
For many of you this weekend is about diet and more than a few of you are wrestling with debt. You may have to struggle with both, perhaps doing well with one but not the the other. Maybe none of it is working.
I know of at least one person who will be struggling with clearing of clutter and house cleaning in a major way this weekend. That, too, can be represented by the configuration. Just be careful not to end up with MORE clutter. (You go to the garage sale to release your “stuff” and buy more than you delivered.)
Regardless….
You’ll reach a decision this weekend: blow it all on a big splurge or be more modest. I am not saying that you must be so strictured that you explode because that will not work either. But, this weekend is about making the changes necessary to be modest and practical in your dining and expenditures.
And a few of you, a very special few, will have given up altogether only to see glimmer of a new hope this weekend. For you, this is your chance to restart your life in terms of possessions and tangible things. You will need to be VERY modest, but you can, once again, have hope.
Regardless of who you are, you’ll need to have a heart to heart with that special someone on Saturday.
Just when you have things lined up, you will encounter challenges on Sunday. Squabbles will tend to break out. Use this energy, instead, for sculpture or writing of poetry or at least making home movies about happy times.
This is for you Ms. Marmite: this is THE weekend to emphasize to your customers the quality of your food, the nutrition, and the value. Oddly, this is a logical turning point in relation to my February 3rd post for you specifically.
A few of you may wonder where I am deriving this analysis from. I have included another chart showing entry of Moon into Taurus and its relationship (grand trine) to Pluto and Ceres. Note, also, how precisely Mercury is opposite the Part of Fortune (Fortuna) here. Especially for those who are “early risers” (or those who are sufficiently inspired that they choose to rise early this day), this will be a time of “luck” for dealing with those “broken” New Year’s resolutions regarding diet, “getting in shape,” money, and tangible physical items.

Note positions of Moon, Mercury, Ceres, and Pluto
Weekend of January 30th Dominated by Mercury Direct Station

What eclipses this weekend (sorry), is the Mercury Direct station. This this station follows so closely after the eclipse is even more of a sign of changes to come.
For many of us, personally, this presents another major turning point in the diet issue. Will we feast or will we famine? If you are fighting this issue, this weekend is an important milestone. You will especially find Saturday frustrating, as your plans to stay on track are upset by Mercury changing directions. As I have written before, keep in mind that if you fall down you can get back up.
But even if you are not fighting the diet fight, you will feel the shift in other ways.
Friday morning starts slowly, but the day becomes more “lively” with a possible power struggle or financial issue in the afternoon.
Friday has a quiet Piscean period which includes a void from about 3am Dallas time (6am UK) until the Moon enters Aries after 9am. Aries Moons tend to bring about activity. And this Moon squares Pluto early, as early Aries Moons will do for the next few years.
Plutonic activity often signifies concerns over taxes. (It is that time of year again, isn’t it?) This can be a sign of other disputes, or perhaps intense sexual activity. By itself, it is not a major aspect, but following so closely after an eclipse it can signify that you will see a major turning point in your life this afternoon. Keep your eyes open.
The day ends pleasantly enough with an aspect to Jupiter.
Saturday is the peak day in the diet battle, and Saturday also brings to fore issues with with “will” and the intensity needed to get things done. This is embodied in a “finger of God” that has Ceres (food) and Saturn (structure, willpower) at the focal point, and the Moon in Aries at one fork and five planets in Aquarius at the other fork.
The five planets in Aquarius speaks to use tending to decide to do “what the group wants to do.” If you have a support group, this is a good time to attend activities. Go to OA if you attend that, or an extra Weight Watchers if you attend that.
For many of us, we see a drama that includes three different groups: (1) a group of people, possibly five or more, who advocate THEIR viewpoint; (2) an authority figure and possibly a “young lady” (who could be engaged to marry); and (3) a lone, but exteremly strong, female. When we think of this “lone female” think of Diana the Warrior.
I cannot say who will win this battle of wills, but I can say that the drama will be a lively one. Enjoy!
January 8th, 2009: Stick with the Diet; Temptation Strikes
January 7, 2009 at 9:33 pm | In Astrology, Predictions | 1 CommentTags: ceres, diet, Moon, Neptune, resolution, Uranus
Temptation strikes today around 10am Central, a popular “coffee break” time. Those who have already fallen off the wagon tempt those who have lasted so far.
With a Gemini Moon (chatter) Squaring (disagreement) Ceres (Diets / Feasts) in Virgo (health issues), expect a bit of chatter if not bickering or outright disagreement about diets. And, given the proximity to New Year’s Day, this is almost a certainty. If you have survived so far, hang in there. You can make it.
Of course, in the UK and Europe, this drama happens at the supper table.
Back in Texas, at Central Time, the moon forms a T-Square with the Uranus-Neptune opposition. Squabbles can easily erupt, particularly if you are Gemini, Virgo, Sadge, or Pisces. No one will “win” unless this is an old dance where the same player always “wins.” If so, and you are not the winner, then don’t play.
One other thing: Ceres enters Libra on August 3rd. This places Ceres in a Square with Pluto (Ceres rules feasts & famines because, according to myth, Pluto gets her for six months of the year (late fall, winter, early spring). During this time, when Pluto has her, we have famine (in modern time: diets).
With the square, as long as we aren’t have a REAL famine (or food supply problems), you should NOW put an reminder where you will find it in August (personal calendar or elsewhere) to re-visit your diet resolutions. If your plan is working, you might think about how to tune it. If you “fell off” the diet wagon, then this (Thursday August 6th, just after the Full Moon) will be a good time to restart.
Not sure what plan you want to follow? Try this.
Much of life is about “getting up” after we “fall down.”
January 3, 4, 5 of 2009: A New Romance May Show Itself; Other Peoples Money
January 3, 2009 at 3:24 pm | In Astrology, Predictions | 1 CommentTags: ceres, diet, Jupiter, new, NewYear2009, pisces, resolution, Sun, Venus
Venus enters Pisces, and we suddenly have a chance at love, new or renewed.
Our New Year’s dreams seem truly possible, and they are if we work at them.
Sun Trines Ceres (Saturday, 3rd) and says that a diet just might work this time. If you are like me, and think that NY Resolutions to lose weight are hopelessly flawed, you could reconsider. A little optimism is warranted this time. You’ll need to focus, and you should expect to be “tested” more than once.
Please don’t spend on anything until Monday. Ditto for career changes, and those aren’t really very good until after the Mercury Retrograde is over (February 1st). In fact, almost anything done this month will be “revisited” somehow later.
Plan accordingly. Don’t “burn bridges” with anyone this month.
Sunday may bring out your kinky side, if you have one. If not, then issues about money & taxes or money & inheritances. In some way, if Sunday is not about Sex & Romance then it is about “other people’s money.” Sunday is also a good day to ask “what if?”
Monday tends to be a day to “lay low” in the UK & Europe (Jupiter is void) but okay in the US after about 11am EST.
Monday (Jan 5, 2009) is a “cross-ways” day: it is good for some and bad for others. No pronounced aspects on Monday, so this is a housekeeping day for many. Much of this day is about the official change from 2008 to 2009. (That’s not hard to predict, is it.) But, again, do plan for having to “do it over.”
