The Promethean New Moon of 2012
This New Moon is as Uranian as they come. With the midpoint of the New Moon precisely located between Retrograde Mercury (overdue events, running late, and sometime accidents) and Uranus (aka Prometheus, the bringer of light, discoveries, and sometimes ‘accidents’), how can any NM be more Uranian?
An extremely cursory (brief) search of the internet yielded plenty of names for Full Moons but none for the new ones.
This New Moon deserves its own special name: the Promethean Moon of 2012.
Here is the basic chart of the New Moon of March 22nd of 2012:

Aspect Grid
Looking at that NM chart may not show the power that will present itself on March 22nd of 2012. So, if you can read aspects, consider the Aspect Grid (shown above). (And, if you cannot, just consider that this grid is composed almost entirely of two symbols: conjunction symbols and trine symbols.)
Conjunctions
Each conjunction is a CONCENTRATION OF ENERGY. Here, it is in Aries (energy, vitality, violence, & war), and involves Uranus, Mercury (retrograde), and the Sun/Moon as a New Moon. The conjunctions, in the Aspect Grid, are the circles with the lines sticking out of them. This many of them together does not happen very often. And, the little triangles mean that the effects of any event at this time tends to be very long lasting. AND, this new moon is only two days after the Spring Equinox of 2012.
March 22nd
March 22nd is associated with a few interesting historical events: the Jamestown massacre of 1622, the British Parliament passes the Stamp Act (setting in motion the American Revolution), Intel ships the first Pentium chips and (in 2009) Mount Redoubt (a volcano) begins erupting. It is a good day to be the Promethean New Moon.
United States Map
The United States map is particularly interesting, since this Promethean New Moon rises off the coast of earthquake prone California. We may not see the quake at the time of the NM, but do not be surprised if we see one, a really significant one, between the time of the Vernal Equinox and the Autumnal Equinox. Why such a large range? The answer is that the range is so large because of a number of other interesting events, particularly the Summer Solstice of this year (which is tied to ANOTHER New Moon).

With the Promethean Moon on the Descendant in the Middle East, we can expect an “active” spring in that region.

Consider the following chart (with a Sun-Mars-Saturn Yod). (Note that it is not JUST the Sun aspecting Mars & Saturn, nearby Uranus & Retrograde Mercury are really part of that pattern, too.)

For those of you familiar with the uncertainty of Yods, this looks interesting so soon after the New Moon. One more map, this time of the Yod. Note that the Uranus line is practically on top of Sacramento / San Francisco.

Am I predicting an Earthquake in California this Spring? Let’s just say that I do not plan on vacationing there this spring or summer. One more disturbing note, a similar set of lines is just east of Tokyo at this time.

Full Moon of April 28, 2010
April 28, 2010 at 10:17 am | Posted in 2012, Astrology, Lunations, Predictions | 1 CommentTags: 2012, 2012 Focused Yod, 8 Scorpio, Astrology, ceres, full moon, FullMoon, hele, Mercury, mercury retrograde, Predictions, Yod, Yods
First of all, many of us will be impelled to action by the impending conjunction of the retrograde Mercury with the Sun at this time. We will feel that “things” are overdue, and that we must act. A real danger of acting rashly exists here. Act, to be sure, but act wisely.
For the details of this, check the midpoint tree of Mercury on the Wheel and Data page, shown later in this article.
Full Moon Activates the 2012 Solstice Focused Yod
This Taurus Sun / Scorpio Moon Full Moon occurs at 8 Taurus / Scorpio, which is an activating point for the 2012 Solstice Focused Yod. Events that happen on or around this time will tend to have long term consequences, and that is confirmed by the final Saturn / Uranus opposition of that series with Saturn / Uranus in the final degrees of Virgo / Pisces.
Unquestionably this is a signal of some kind for the financial markets, but what kind? Some say a recovery; some say a “Bear Rally.” In this case, the entry of Pluto into Capricorn a year ago signals the beginning of a long period of what might be called “Fiscal Conservatism.” Pluto is related to investigations, and Capricorn is the sign of finances and financial markets. Deep, probing investigations into the financial services industry is, or should be, the norm. The Saturn / Uranus opposition series has been the herald, and the astrological avatar, of the recession. That opposition series also signal a need for evaluation of existing structures (Saturn) and possible change (Uranus).
Hele of Full Moon of April 28th
This Hele appears to be active and important at the time of this Full Moon:
Since Hele is a new pattern, this is difficult to interpret. However, it appears to at least potentially involve the severe anger of betrayal (Pallas) aligned with Venus (Art & Beauty or Finances) in relation to Neptune (Deception), Moon (Full), and Saturn (Authority). An “explosion” (not literal) regarding Goldman-Sachs, Madoff, etc. may be about to “come to a head” today. A pimple appears waiting to be popped.
Venus in a Yod with Ceres and Pluto v. The Full Scorpio Moon
That said, the current economic condition is about as good as it will get. It may or may not have peaked yet, but the exuberance of the preceding twenty years is no longer warranted. The Venus / Cerus inconjunct confirms that some (many) will be irrationally exuberant over the current rally. Venus is also inconunct Ceres, and Ceres and Pluto are conjunct each other.
In fact, Venus is in a Yod with Ceres and Pluto on one side, and the Moon on the other. Ceres / Pluto conjunct could be called the “I want to have my cake and eat it, too” aspect. You cannot have both, but that is exactly what we feel. A decision must be made, based on the conjunction alone. But, Yods emphasize decisions, and we are almost never satisfied with the results (from a hindsight vantage point).
To best understand the energy of this full moon, read about Ceres and Pluto here.
In this case, we must make a decision about decisions. What issue will we focus upon? If we focus upon a Ceres/Pluto viewpoint, then we will be faced with the challenge of “having our cake and eating it too.” If we pick the Moon, then we are picking a Full Moon with the Sun Conjunct Retrograde Mercury. This means that we must double check everything and look at old projects we had discarded. In the end, we will have to balance investigation and intrigue (the Scorpio Moon) with art, beauty, and productivity (Taurus). Investigation is necessary, but investigation (alone) WILL NOT GET THINGS DONE. No matter how we approach things today, if the 2012 Solstice is important, then we will see today (and this week) as a turning point in our lives.
On a more personal note, this is a tough time for anyone who starts a diet. Certainly it CAN be done; Pluto helps but only through pain or traumatic events. The Ceres (giving into the temptation to eat what you want) is far easier and far more pleasant. All that said, here is the Full Moon Chart:

Mercury and Algol for 2010
April 25, 2010 at 2:22 pm | Posted in 2012, Astrology, Patterns | Leave a commentTags: 2010, algol, Astrology, God's fist, June, Mercury, quintile kites, quintiles, thor's hammer
Now that routine forecasting is on Weekend Forecast, Grand Trines can be devoted to more exotic subjects.
Given the season of havoc that has occurred recently, after Moon CNJ Algol at the time of the Spring Equinox, we will pick up with Mercury CNJ Algol, for 2010, as a topic.
Mercury Conjunct Algol on June 7th
Continuing with the position of the Moon Conjunct Algol at the Vernal Equinox as a topic of interest, Mercury will touch that point a number of times this year. This is a potent activator. The Sun as an activator is a topic for another post; Lunar returns are obvious (but also a topic for another post). Venus is interesting and has been briefly analyzed; upon touching Algol it produced a number of tornadoes in Texas as well as a devastating oil rig explosion in the Gulf of Mexico (the “Deepwater Horizon” catastrophe). Outer planets are an entirely different topic warranting a number of posts.
That said, Mercury is currently retrograde and overdue (pardon the wordplay) for an analysis. For fun, we are looking initially at higher order harmonics: quintile & septile. Here is the chart for Mercury touching Algol on June 7th, focused on higher order harmonics:
Pluto BiQuintiles both the Moon and Mercury providing a sense of urgency here. The mood is one of “we have to get things done.” Powerplays are a certainty; could they lead to disaster? For any willing to speculate on this chart and aspects, the remainder can be addressed in comments.
Outside of the topic of disasters, some people / organizations will be able to accomplish some amazing work in creative areas at this time. But, they would be wise to make safety paramount.
Quintile Kites circa June 7, 2010
This period is active for Quintile Kites. Using June 6th through June 8th for the search period, the first Quintile Kite involves the Ascendant at 8 Scorpio. Though one of many, that chart is representative of the energy. Of course, since the Ascendant is involved, the energy will manifest at different times in different regions. On the East Coast (of the U.S.) it is an hour earlier; on the West Coast two hours later. Here is the chart and the sensitive periods:
Sensitive Periods (set to CDT / Plano, TX):
Thor’s Hammer (God’s Fist) for June 7th
Finally, and most interesting, this period is active for the Thor’s Hammer pattern. One occurs immediately (minutes) after Mercury touches the Moon’s Equinox position, and this one directly involves Mercury:
Here are time for Thor’s Hammer during this period (set to CDT / Plano, of course):

Mercury Retrograde April 2010 and Focused Yod
April 17, 2010 at 10:53 am | Posted in Astrology, Predictions, Weekends | Leave a commentTags: accidents, algol, Astrology, double yod key, earthquakes, explosions, focused yods, lost objects, Mercury, mercury retrograde, thor's hammer, Thor's Hammer key
This Retrograde Station seems to be keeping in the times of earthquakes, airliner crashes, and mine explosions. The Algol Moon of the Spring Equinox seems to have indicated this as well. We see, with this station, a Focused Yod that last several days, through April 19th, a Double Yod Key the hour before the exact moment of the station, and a Thor’s Hammer (God’s Fist) the hour after the exact moment.
From a personal perspective, this is likely to be a difficult weekend in which old dramas are rehashed and tensions increase as accidents occur. As is always true at this time of year, tragic accidents with teens or college students are almost certain to happen. Please make extra efforts to keep you and yours safe.
Mercury Retrograde in General
Mercury Retrograde has a bad reputation, and it deserves it. It is associated with communications and transportations problems that bring us to a halt or even make us move backward. This particular retrograde lasts until May 11th of this year. That is a little long for a Mercury Retrograde.
Previously this year we had a Mecury Retrograde that started in December of 2009 and concluded January 15th. We will have two more this year: (1) August 20th until September 12th and (2) December 10th until December 29th.
Mercury Retrograde does have uses. The core issue in MR is double checking everything or suffer the consequences. Earthquakes reveal shoddy construction where what was needed was not what was done. Mine explosions elucidate shortcuts in safety that caused lost lives. Airplane crashes likely show similar factors.
Thursday, about 48 hours ago, this astrologer saw a five car pileup on North Central Expressway (NCX) here in Dallas (aka DFW or “the Metroplex”). Transportation (and communication) especially suffers from events such as tailgating in this period.
Besides highlighting what needs to be done, MR also is a period where efforts to retrieve that which was lost may be successful. Frozen projects may be thawed. Items lost in the closet, shed, or garage may be found. This is a very good time to clean and organize and profit from those efforts.
Here is the chart for this MR, followed by specific charts and analysis for the Focused Yod (this is about making crucial decisions).
Noteworthy are the highly active midpoint trees for Saturn (authority), Uranus (accidents, explosions, earthquakes, etc.) and Chiron (the need to teaching and healing).
The Focused Yod
The Focused Yod of this period, which lasts for several days, is likely the most important pattern. This is a period of crucial decision making. Mercury Retrograde here says the we must take the time to slow down and do things write. Familiar with the old saying “there is never enough time to do things right but always enough time to do things over”? Here, we are having to do things over. And, if we do not get it right this time, we will probably revisit again, and again. The next to “opportunities” to get it right are late August and mid December. Probably best to get it right, now.
This Focused Yod has Saturn (authority) in one of many of a series of oppositions to Uranus. The issues here are large scale and will be revisited in years to come. But this period, the next few days, will be seen in history as a turning point in this conflict between old authority and new revolutionary (but sometimes a bit “nuts”) ideas. Neptune and Chiron suggest insights blended with confusion on one side of the decisions. The Sun, which is management and authority (neither new nor old) is on the other side. Traditionally, that which is today represented by Uranus (Prometheus) was represented by Saturn as well. Saturn was viewed as most distant from the Sun, and “opposite” as Aquarius (Uranus) from Leo (Sun).
So, here, a “good” decision is possible that does not heal the problem. We will all like it, but the solution will not be nearly as long lasting as the problem. This is solution found in the Sun (one year orbit) will not last as long as the problem(s) (Saturn, 28 year orbit, opposite Uranus, 84 year orbit). Worthy of note: the orbit of Uranus is a multiple of three of that of Saturn. Every time Uranus returns to a particular place, Saturn has orbited three times. In a sense, this means Uranus ultimately “wins” over Saturn. Change is the only constant.
The other decision, Neptune and Chiron, also LOOKS good but takes us through a time of murky unclear difficulty in which insights gained will teach us what we need to know to resolve the problem in question.
In any case, we will be unhappy (quincunx, always) and look back longingly at the ‘road not taken’ during this crucial period. Here is the chart:
Double Yod Key
Double Yod Keys are generally considered to be a new construct in astrology. As such, they are not fully understood. (What pattern is?) From recent experience, DYK’s appear to indicate multiple decisions and multiple events. DYK’s are associated with three decisions (at least). But, also, recently, DYK’s occurred with the triple categories of events of (1) earthquakes, (2) accidents (airplane, mine, & other), and (3) explosions (mine, terrorists, etc.). Everything comes in threes, right? Here is the chart of the DYK just before the precise moment of the Mercury Retrograde Station:
Note that the Ascendant is one of the four points, and it is at 25 Scorpio and continues in aspect until the Ascendant enters Sadge. Almost certainly this point of 25 Scorpio (opposite Algol at 26 Taurus) is a harbinger of additional ill-fate.
Thor’s Hammer (God’s Fist)
This Retrograde Station has a Thor’s Hammer about an hour after the station. It is yet another punctuation mark that the earthquakes, accidents, and explosions may not be over yet. They could easily continue as Sun, Mercury, and Venus move past Algol (through May). Here is the chart.
Please post comments, especially if you would like to see maps.
April 2010: Venus Square Mars and Mercury Square Mars
April 2, 2010 at 12:18 pm | Posted in Astrology, Predictions, Weekends | Leave a commentTags: equinox, full moon, Mars, Mercury, retrograde, squares, Venus
Not too long before the upcoming Mercury Retrograde, and this weekend, Venus will Square Mars and Mercury will Square Mars. Each will bring a culmination of events launch earlier, many starting on the recent Equinox and/or Full Moon. However, this is not the end of story. Mercury retrograde will force us to revisit, step by step, what happened. Mercury retrograde is about mistakes, errors, and omissions. But, sometimes, Mercury retrograde is about uncovering mistakes, errors, and omissions. You can bet that the upcoming retrograde will have interesting revelations.
This weekend shows, among other things, that Saturday is great for romance, of the hottest kind. But, reality will kick in Sunday, and for some terrible fights will be had. Try to find a constructive way to spin off all that anger on Sunday. Here are the charts:

More on March 30th and Full Moon of March 29th
March 29, 2010 at 9:10 pm | Posted in Astrology, BadDays, Lunations, Predictions | 1 CommentTags: alice springs, aries, Astrology, budapest, Chiron, DFW, FullMoon, jakarta, krakaw, libra, Mars, Mercury, Moon, nyc, oakland, Paris, philly, Rome, seattle, Solar Map, solarfire, tokyo, Uranus, vancouver
“The Cliff Notes” version: yep, this was another “Bad Moon” that certainly had the potential to generate a bombing. That it occurred in Moscow rather than Tehran or Baghdad is surprising, based on the maps. A number of global cities were affected in different ways, including New York, Philly, DFW (Dallas Fort Worth, aka “The Metroplex”), Oakland CA, Seattle, Vancouver, Tokyo, Jakarta, Alice Springs, Paris, Rome, Krakaw, Budapest, and most of Eastern Europe.
The Full Moon Will Provide the Energy for the Double Yod Key of March 30th
The Full Moon of March 29th has perfected, almost precisely as the beginning of this article about that Full Moon. Although the U.S. has some important activity, once again Australia looks “interesting.” We’ll cover the bombings today as well, and take a look at the Pacific Rim. Most of this post will be graphic so that you can “draw” your own conclusions. (Sorry, just could not pass that one up.)
The Double Yod Key of March 30th is still a powerful and “interesting” aspect. (Here is a different approach to March 30th) Decisions will be made on that date, and they will be major decisions following this Full Moon. Given the equinox this year with a precise Moon Conjunct Algol, other similar events may plague us this year. Focused Yods (fairly common) and Quintile Kites (not so common) are prevalent during this period, as mentioned earlier.
Here are two versions of the Full Moon chart, both done with Solar Fire 7.22 and one done with a specially designed “custom” page: (by the way, you can click on any graphic in this blog to open it for better viewing)
Also: here is a different interpretation of this Full Moon. And, here is another one.
and
Note that Uranus has the largest midpoint tree. Since Uranus (aka Prometheus) governs the unexpected, that is to be expected on the day of a bombing. Uranus also governs rebels, rebellions, and revolutions. So, that this bombing was done by rebels is not (after the fact) so surprising, either. Note that Uranus midpoints pick up Sun, Mercury, Venus, Neptune and Chiron. That is, Uranus aspects midpoints of most of the planets in the chart.
An Aries / Libra Full Moon always has the potential for violence. Violence is not the only thing happening here; this could be a great time for romance, or building a plan and then engaging in decisive action.
And, now, for Maps. Looking at the U.S. first, we see (1) MC line for a very strong Mars that forms a T-Square with the Ascendant and Venus (at this particular location). This line operates through the geographic center of the U.S. Neptune in NYC and Chiron along Philly show that the Mid-Atlantic is dealing with some kind of profound healing. Since Neptune is all about revelations, do not be surprised if corruption is exposed and scandals erupt. Curiously, these same scandals may lead (believe it or not) to the development of an educational curriculum (probably within a Criminal Justice program) that specializes in training law enforcement in the discovery of corruption and organized crime. If you are reading this, and you are a professor thinking about this kind of thing, this is YOUR TIME. Do not hesitate; charge ahead with your plan. The time is ripe.
A hint exists here that something from the U.S. may have been involved in the bombing today. Different versions of these lines exist in the former USSR, so do not be surprised if we learn the explosives or detonator were manufactured in the U.S., possibly somewhere in or near the Mid-Atlantic (or along that Mars line; maybe here in Texas?)
One other thing, Oakland CA, and Seattle & Vancouver have a Sun DSC line nearby. In addition to making this a powerful Full Moon in those localities, the Moonrise was probably spectacular in those locations (still near horizon as this is being written).
Australia and New Zealand are “interesting.” But, the most interesting thing is the Uranus line through Alice Springs. Will one of the bombers have a connection to someone there? Or, should people there be “aware” for “surprises.” (What kind? Who knows? It would not be a “surprise” if we knew. But it is not necessarily “bad,” and no need to think this is a bombing. But, count on a “surprise” of some kind. Also, this is a VERY good time and place for “creative types.”)
For comparison, here is the link to the earlier Moon Conjunct Algol Map of the recent Equinox.
With a Pluto line through Tehran and a Uranus line through Baghdad, the big surprise is that the bombings did NOT happen there. Given that Pluto is considered to rule Nuclear energy (and particularly Plutonium, which is appropriately named after Pluto), this emphasizes the continuing issues with Nuclear Power and Tehran. Note that, similar to the related Moon Conjunct Algol Equinox map, Jakarta is once again affected or even somehow implicated in the activities of today. Other parts of Asia are “interesting” as well:
Saving the most important for last, we have Europe. Oddly, Moscow does not have any lines. The most crucial point on this map is a crossing of Mars (violence) and Chiron (healing). That occurs very close to the eastern border of Poland. What this means is unclear, but do not be surprised if this region somehow played a pivotal role in the bombing. The UK is not clearly aspected, but both Paris and Stockholm have the Node on the Ascendant, implying that a turning point (at least one if not many) has been reached in both places. Most interesting would be to know what links exist between Paris and Stockholm. The aforementioned Mars line passes near Krakaw, Budapest, and Rome. Finally, that same Mars line, along with a Neptune line to the east, “bracket” much of Eastern Europe. Here is the map:
The Double Yod Key of March 30th

Why you need to really watch your mouth on March 30th.
What you say on Tuesday March 30th could have pretty serious consequences. And, if you are at all prone to “road rage,” then you better take a taxi, bus, or train.
Tuesday March 30th will have a series of “Double Yod Keys” that include a square of Mars and Mercury. By itself, a Mars and Mercury square can cause trouble. But with the Double Yod Key (DYK), mouth in motion before brain in gear can have lasting consequences.
Double Yod Keys, as a pattern, have only recently been recognized and discussed. ”Yods” are called “Fingers of God” and mark points where major decisions often must be made. These kinds of decisions tend to persist. And, the failure to decide is (usually) the worst of all. The parable of “Lot’s Wife” applies here: pick one and never look back. With a Double Yod Key, two major decisions must be made. Actually, a third decision is made as well: of these two key issues, which is more important. (Be careful before you ask “who is it going to be, me or the dog?”)
A DYK always contains a square, and this one has Mercury (Communications) in Square (Conflict) with Mars (War and Fights). Said differently, for many people this will be a dangerous time when they say or do things they regret. In rush hour, this could be a particularly bad road rage incident.
Like any other energy, this can be harnessed productively. But, the tendencies here are misunderstandings that explode into events with unintended consequences. Chart + list of other DYK’s (Only the March 30th ones have the Mercury / Mars square) follows, with the March 30th periods in BOLD.
The East Coast of the US (particularly DC to Philly) picks up the Saturn energy here, but the rest of the US, UK, and most of Europe is generally unaffected. (Of course, certain individuals will be highly affected.)
Globally, the main cities affected are Tokyo, Beijing, Hanoi, Darwin, and Central Australia (especially near Adelaide). I believe Delhi may feel some impact from this as well, and, if any major event occurs, India has the potential to provide leadership in healing afterwards. Here are the maps followed by upcoming periods of Double Yod Keys followed by analysis of two more patterns.

Quintile Kites
These are key periods for learning concepts and creative problem solving. If you can set time aside to work upon your chosen problem (possibly the one you decided to solve with the advent and culmination of the recent equinox), this is a good time to brainstorm. Save your action, if possible, for the Focused Yods (next). Usable opportunities for CDT are in BOLD.

Based on the ideas and plans formulated in the Quintile Kites, you can take action on them now during the Focused Yods. A period of “Focused Yods” will being March 26th and continue through the end of the month.

Monday March 30, 2009 Chatty Cathy Monday
March 29, 2009 at 9:19 pm | Posted in Astrology, Predictions, SignChange | 2 CommentsTags: athletes, career, Combust, Financial, markets, Mars, Mercury, midheaven, Moon, news, Pluto, secrets, Sun
Don’t hope to hold secrets today, no hope of that exists with so much chatter in the air. Following on the tail of Sunday’s squares, the Moon moves into Gemini and squares Ceres (which continues to be active). By itself, the Gemini Moon is chatty, but Mercury conjoins the Sun later tonight as well.
Secrets are out.
The following chart, set in Dallas, shows the basic details.
Moon Enters Gemini (Dallas) on March 30th of 2009
Mars at Midheaven
Note that Mars is at Midheaven in this chart. The main hope for today is to avoid the almost inevitable fights and conflicts that may emerge from revealing so much so fast.
For athletes this is a good day. You may switch to a new team or manager and find that it benefits you well. Police officers and intelligence operatives may fare well also (as long as they are not wrongdoers themselves). A bad place to be, though, would be as an “agent provacateur.” If you are running a “sting” operation today you may get stung yourself by a television camera crew who sends it directly to a satellite feed.
Financial Markets
The financial markets are in trouble today not in the sense that anything economic is distressing them but that more of the truth will emerge about the misconduct of the past few years. Secretive Pluto in Capricorn (corporations and often finances (along with Taurus)) will lose to the chatty Moon today because of the help she receives from the Sun and Mercury.
Of course, not all secrets will be revealed, but today could represent a major “unraveling” for some. Do not be surprised if we discover that Madoff and Stanford are the tip of a larger iceberg.
Secrets Might Come Out During a Lawsuit
The 9th House is strongly colored by the current cluster of Jupiter, Chiron, and Neptune. Just in case Pluto thought he could keep secrets, he had better think again with these three in this place. Not only will it come out, but it will probably come out in “open court” in some circumstances.
For You and I Personally
For you, personally, be social, but avoid controversy (unless you are the kind of person that benefits from fights; if so, this is your day).
For the rest of us, today tends to be uncomfortable. (Sorry, I wish I could give a more cheerful forecast.)
Aries
You are very strong now. Generally, this day favors you. You can defeat most enemies, if that is your goal.
Taurus
You are not as strong as you were Saturday. A friend of yours may have a very bad day. You would like to help, but you may just have to distance yourself from them for now. They may become angry if you do this. Use your judgment.
Gemini
You are the center of controversy. This works well for some of you, but you could be very tired at the end of this day. You will realize (correctly) that tomorrow is a new day and something new is starting in your life.
Cancer
Today is tough for you, too. Use today for downtown. You do not have to be the center of attention.
Leo
A very weird and “sideways” day for you. Your secrets could be “outed” as well, but you might just be an “innocent bystander.” Proceed carefully.
Virgo
Today is just unpleasant for you. Normally you never worry much about diet, but you are for some reason now. Like Gemini, you will get a new start tomorrow.
Libra
The best position for you is to be the judge or mediator. Your job is to make peace today; just realize that peace will not be had today. Still, you are actually in a very good position.
Scorpio
It looks good for you. You seem centered and in control. But, more than any other sign, you could be easily blindsided today. As with Leo, proceed carefully.
Sagittarius
Gemini Moon will not leave you alone. If your boss is a Capricorn, then they might be in a bad mood. They will be in a very bad mood if you inadvertently disclose their secret. Even so, avoid the temptation to lie. Talk about the weather or something else generally considered “neutral.” Stay away from controversey today.
Capricorn
What an awful day! But, if you avoid deceit and just work hard, doing routine tasks that must be done anyway, you might actually make some money today. Avoid risks.
Aquarius
Many people are looking to you for leadership. If this is your day in court then you can win. You might be the strongest sign today. As with others, avoid lying.
Pisces
Aquarius may be the strongest sign today, but you are the star. You do not mean for it to be this way, but you may ultimately be in control. Capricorn and Scorpio, whether they realize it or not, will have to come by you to get things done. Just don’t flaunt it. With a gentle, VERY gentle nudge, they can deduce the reality of the situation.
Weekend of March 28, 2009 Remember those New Year’s Resolutions?
March 27, 2009 at 4:57 pm | Posted in Astrology, Predictions, Weekends | Leave a commentTags: aries, ceres, Mercury, Moon, Pluto, Taurus, Venus
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
January 30, 2009 at 12:57 pm | Posted in Astrology, Predictions, Retrogrades, Weekends | 5 CommentsTags: aries, ceres, diet, direct, eclipse, famine, feast, FingerOfGod, Mercury, mercury direct, mercury retrograde, Moon, Saturn, Yod, Yods
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!
