Supermoon 2012
This full moon is a bit different from the others this year. It has been nicknamed “Supermoon 2012.” Bigger and brighter than other full moons, it is unusually good for romance. (A number of new Aquarians and maybe a few Capricorns will be started tonight.) The moon does have a risk: some people will engage in mischief, likely mean spirited, that they should avoid. Watch for criminal behavior.
Here is the chart for the Full Moon of May, 2012

If you are a beginning analyst (astrological analyst), then the following chart may be helpful:
I am going to make a bold leap and assume that, if you are reading this blog, you understand the dynamics of a Taurus Sun / Scorpio Moon Full Moon. At sixteen degrees, these planets (astrologers call the Sun & Moon planets, just in case you do not know) are on top of the Fixed Sign 15 degree points that some (many) argue are “The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.” That is, some argue that the “Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse” of the Book of Revelations in the Christian New Testament is actually a code for the 15 degree points. These points are also associated with the “Quarter Days” which are in turn represented by various holidays in the United States and other cultures: Cinco de Mayo, Halloween, etc. We note that this Full Moon actually occurs on Cinco de Mayo.
That said….
Particularly interesting is the Jupiter / Uranus semisquare. Jupiter / Uranus aspects are associated with “luck” and such things as lotto winnings. They also present reversal of fortune for some. Expect big wins and loses about this date. In sports, “upsets” are likely more common at this time.
The Death of Whitney Houston

I was never a fan of Whitney Houston. I did not dislike her; I just was not a fan.
However, I took notice of her. We somehow seemed to be karmicly linked in an inverted pattern: when her life was getting better mine seemed to get worse and vice versa. In recent years, she seemed locked in a downward death spiral. In contrast, my life has been rising and improving on many levels. 2011 was a “banner year” for me; I was not quite surprised when I learned that she died today (technically yesterday, but I have not been to sleep yet).
The entire thing felt very astrological, and I had not posted in a long time. I will not have a window to post again until March or April. So, here is my lone post until I can return.
I note the following ideas which are well documented in the media: (1) she had a significant alcohol / drug problem; (2) she had repeatedly attempted recovery; and (3) we do not (yet) know the cause of death. I draw the following conclusions: (1) she really wanted to be clean & sober but seemed unable to maintain that condition and (2) we do not (yet) know her cause of death. What I am really saying is that, although some may infer drugs, she might have been perfectly clean.
This last idea is not so far-fetched. I have a clear memory of the day that I heard that Waylon Jennings died. I heard it in the early morning, and I think that he died the night or afternoon before. We learned that he had been clean & sober for 10 years, but that diabetes had led to his death. I learned subsequently that this type of death is common among people in recovery: the booze & drugs causes so much damage that diabetes, liver failure, and similar disorders cause a death at an early age. That is a heartbreak. And, maybe that is what happened to Whitney. We’ll find out soon, and I’ll likely edit this post with updates.
Now to the Astrology.
I cast a chart for the moment that I heard of her death. My consistent methodology is to allow the software determine this. That is, I operate on the idea that my idea or realization is not fully manifest until I open a chart of the current date and time.
For my initial analysis, I used this chart as a proxy for time of death. Generally, this chart differs from the death chart mainly (1) by Ascendant and (2) by Lunar position. (Different parts of the country, also, but that is mainly manifest in construction of the Ascendant.) So, just to do a quick analysis, I checked for birth charts from several sources. I settled on http://www.astro.com/astro-databank/Houston,_Whitney That chart looks like this:
The Aries and Leo planets, including Sun and Moon, tell us who she was. She was vibrant and sparkling. But, the Pisces ascendant gave her both the ability to touch people’s hearts AND the alcohol and drug problems. For her, those were inseparable. However, the vast majority of us could not see this inner pain and turmoil, even when she documented it in her movie “The Bodyguard.”
I like the list of aspects provided here: http://www.strangehouse.com/option,com_horoscope/year,2012/month,02/day,11/user_id,whitneyhouston
That list shows several things: (1) for her, the phrase “she is now at peace” is very true; if I heard that she “passed in her sleep” then I would not be surprised and (2) some kind of strong emotional issue either came to a head or had come to a head (Moon OPP Moon; transiting Mars square natal Pluto).
I note that she had experienced her fourth Jupiter return. Much discussion has been made of people being carried away by Saturn, but Jupiter can do this as well. Arguably, the life lessons she taught and learned were Jovian in nature: she lived a larger than life personna as dramatized in “The Bodyguard.” That movie illustrated some of the pitfalls of being a “larger than life” personna. After her death, and at the time I received the news, transiting Moon opposed natal Jupiter.
For a more in depth analysis, see this analysis by Jude: http://judecowell.wordpress.com/2012/02/12/whitney-houstons-sad-passing-w-an-astro-note-about-fights-while-married/
A bi-wheel might be helpful. The inner wheel is the birth chart, and the outer is when I received the announcement:
We see from the Bi-Wheel that she also had a 12th house stellium of transiting planets. (These planets were in natal 12th house, the house of self-undoing.)
I know that a fair number of you want the actual death chart. She was pronounced at 3:55 PM PST, but reports say Paramedics found her unresponsive and performed CPR for 20 minutes. Actual time of death could have been earlier. Oddly, an argument could be made for a slightly later time of death (the culmination of opposition of transiting Moon to natal Moon). I note that the same four transiting planets that formed a stellium in her natal chart are in the 8th house (Death House) in this chart.
And, I have this to say: Jupiter is saying that she had completed her mission here. But Chiron disagrees. Chiron says that if she had stayed with us long enough for Chiron to return, she might have finally found that special healing she was looking for. And, in doing so, she had additional lessons to offer all of us, even a self-described non-fan like me. (Click to enlarge)
Full Moon of May 27, 2010

This Full Moon comes as a powerful punctuation mark in a rare series of powerful patterns. Interpretations of these patterns vary widely. Probably because the are so rare they are difficult for the astrological community to form a consensus. Some claim they are disruptive (they have been), and others claim opportunity. Whichever set of advice that you follow, these patterns will tend to produce clear winners and losers. And, in some cases, they will produce lose-lose situations where nobody benefits.
To paraphrase what has been described as “an old Chinese curse,” we are living in “interesting times.” (See, also, this link.)
Here is the basic chart along with a few variations:
For those who like more details
In addition to the required Sun-Moon opposition, a number of other oppositions are occurring. Jupiter and Uranus are “near” each other (most would say conjunct) and both oppose Saturn. Uranus enters Aries about an hour and a half later. Since Uranus has an 84 year orbit, it is clearly on the cusp, and even a slight error in calculation could mean it has entered Aries. Regardless, this entry heralds (more) explosions, accidents, and revolutions (of all kinds, including but not limited to political).
Both Saturn and Uranus are also making stations. This means they are almost “standing still” currently. Saturn turns direct on Sunday, and Uranus turns direct on Monday. Frankly, for the financial markets, this probably means “you ain’t seen nuttin’ yet.” That is, an even more profound downturn could happen Monday or sometime early that week.
A large number of Arabic Parts are activated, you may explore these in the next version of the chart:

March 31, 2010 Moon Enters Scorpio: A Time to Quietly Get Things Done
March 31, 2010 at 10:04 am | Posted in Astrology, Patterns, Predictions | 1 CommentTags: God's fist, God's Fist key, hele, hele key, Jupiter, jupiter sesquiquadrate, Mars, Moon, moon square mars, Patterns, quadriform, quadriform key, scorpio, sesquiquadrate, thor's hammer, Thor's Hammer key
Two patterns dominate today’s sky as the Moon enters Scorpio. Both of them demand action. The potential for more damage or violence exists here.
The first is known as Thor’s Hammer or the Quadriform. It is also known as “God’s Fist.” From the article just linked to:
Other astrologers see the energy flow originating in the apex planet, which then must find a way to wield the power and dynamic stress of the square planets. It’s a little like holding a live grenade – what do you do with it?? You need to find a way to use it constructively and creatively, or the energy can become destructive. This image is like a Hammerhead or God’s Fist.
Here, the planets are the Moon (in Scorpio), Mars (in Early Leo, square to the Moon), and Jupiter in Pisces sesquiquadrate to both. How will you use this energy? The following chart is entry into perfection of the Thor’s hammer at 9pm local (Dallas) time:
But, earlier, a Double Thor’s Hammer occurred. The second square involved is Mercury square Mars, so both patterns are connected by the common planet Mars. This larger pattern made of two embedded patterns is not an acknowledged pattern, but the pattern is obvious, and so is what the name should be:
Of course, this is a bit like having a hand-grenade in EACH hand, and the explosive power is provided here by Mars (maximum explosive power). Actually, this should be called a “Left Double Thor’s Hammer” since an alternative form, the “Right Double Thor’s Hammer” can exist. (Or, if you prefer the less dramatic: Left Double Quadriform and Right Double Quadriform).
The other pattern is a Hele. The pattern was recognized recently, in 2004, by Sally Fisher (according to the link just provided). Here, Uranus and Neptune are in a semi-sextile. Uranus trines Mars (a potentially bad aspect regarding bombs and terrorism) and Moon trines Neptune (which either leads to great creativity or things being cloudy and obscured). Moon and Mars complete the pattern with their square.
Only recently recognized, not much is known about the Hele. But, the two trines involving two planets with large orbits (Uranus 84 years / Neptune 160 years) implies that the events of today (and maybe the past few days) will have significant consequences for many years to come. Although maps would be “nice,” choosing a specific point in time is difficult. For example, would it be the Moon ingress to Scorpio or the perfection of Moon square Mars? When the Hele perfected? When the Quadriform(s) perfected?
The two patterns are intricately connected and make two different but inter-related pronouncements on the same matters (Moon in Scorpio square Mars in Leo). In fact, this might be considered some greater pattern, a superset of both embedded patterns. In a sense, this pattern looks a bit like a square key or double yod key (prevalent yesterday).
The author of this blog (who prefers to be anonymous until after his death, and only known as “Grand Trines”) will therefore dub this, as alternative synonyms, the Quadriform Key or the Hele Key. (And, arguably, it could be called a “Thor’s Hammer Key” (more dramatic than the other names) or the “God’s Fist Key” (the most dramatic of all).)
Then again, maybe someone else (Grant Lewi?) found the same thing in the 1930′s. (But, as of this writing, no clear evidence exists of any prior recognition or naming. But the author of this website is a fan of Lewi’s, so he gets a plug.)
Here are the two versions of the chart:

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:
Vernal Equinox 2010: A Bad Moon a Risin’

Algol and the 2010 Spring Equinox
[If you are looking for the 2012 Spring Equinox click here.]
We usually think as the start of Spring as a happy time, and Friday Saturday March 20th of 2010 will certainly mark a turning point. Perhaps the most important point in this particular equinox is the Moon at 26 degrees of Taurus. That is where the star Algol (“The Ghoul”) is located. Generally, Algol is considered “unfavorable” or “malefic.”
We do not usually think of a “ghoul” as being the icon of the First Day of Spring. Of course, if your thing is casting spells, this might be an especially powerful time for you. I might add, the rest of this article is not about landscaping and gardening. However, if you do participate in rituals and celebrations, you might choose add an extra measure of care this year the Friday night before the Equinox, lest March be the cruelest month (instead of April).
Most astrologers would say Algol is the most malefic of stars since it is associated with murders, serial killers, and beheadings. Especially beheadings. Reputedly, “Saddam Hussein [had] Mercury on Algol (torture lover), [and] Richard Speck, murder[er] of 8 nurses had Pluto on Algol.”
Algol is a bad dude, and Moon for the equinox is conjunct it. For beginners reading this, the Moon is supposed to be both our innermost self and the part of us that is nurtured and can nurture. The Moon is the most comfortable place in our home, and it is our final resting place (grave). Algol has alternatively been called the head of the demon, Satan, and the Medusa’s Head. The moniker of “Medusa’s Head” comes from Ancient Greece. The severed head of Medusa destroyed anything its gaze fell upon.
The Moon conjunct Algol is like your mother, sister, daughter, or best female friend falling in love with the worst possible person imaginable. Your mom + Charles Manson doing LSD together and planning something really scary.
Some people have had very bad experiences with Algol.
I do not know what Moon on Algol will mean for us, but here are some possibilities:
- The war in Iraq gets worse instead of better, with some of the worst / bloodiest / most tragic battles or events of the war.
- More mass killings by terrorists
- Possible expose’ of one or more serial killers of large proportions (over 20, and probably over 50 killings)
- And more: death by “beheading, hanging, choking, asphyxiation, electrocution, murder, [and] mob violence.”
Certain kinds of other events may occur:
- Landmark movies about the kind of events described above. (Consider, already, the winner of the Oscars: “The Hurt Locker.”)
- An unanticipated event involving Mick Jagger (reputed to have Moon on Algol, so this is a sort of “return” for him)
- A romantic event, perhaps peculiar, for Prince William (reputed to have Venus on Algol)
And, that’s the GOOD news! (Just kidding. That’s the worst part.)
To be expected: typical news articles like this one from CNN, the Lindsay Lohan Muse Photoshoot Video (notice how it tends to be dark and distrubing), child star Amanda Bynes posing for Maxim in lingerie, and the NY Times Article “Drug Slayings in Mexico Rock U.S. Consulate.” These are probably the beginning of a long chain. And, as disturbing as this is, we might have another event similar to the Virginia Tech slayings.
This is enoug h by itself; the rest of the equinox is for other articles. If you want, or need, a more detailed analysis, try this one.
Shameless Solicitation of a Vote:
I have included, below, a “Solar Maps” map of places in the U.S., Mexico, and Southern Canada with annotations indicating which geographical areas (in this region) will be affected the most:
March 13th Yod and Midpoints: Which Man Should She Pick?
March 13, 2010 at 1:47 pm | Posted in Astrology, ExampleCharts, Predictions, Weekends | Leave a commentTags: cheats, FingerOfGod, Mars, midpoints, Moon, Saturn, Yod, Yods
I used the “Wheel and Data” page from Solar Fire to produce this chart.
Although astrology charts address a number of issues, I am only going to address one particular issue here: certain women, tonight, will have to choose between one of two men.
One man is young, handsome, and dashing. Well, I am not sure about handsome, and he might not be all that young. But, for many the chances are good that he is an athlete, a police officer, or a member of the military. He is the kind of guy who will defend your honor, and he will punch someone in the face to do it.
He could be a sure bet, but he does have some downsides. He has a temper and might be violent. Sometimes he rushes in where others fear to tread. Based on his temper, he might hurt you. To be sure, he will say he is sorry afterwards, and he will charm you. But, this could easily become a very destructive pattern.
The other man is probably older. He could be an authority figure, but probably not a police officer. He would be more like an attorney or perhaps a judge. He could be in the military, but he would be a seasoned leader, perhaps of the platoon. He could easily be a banker or business owner. He is stable, and he probably has money while everyone else does not during this recession.
But he has his dark side as well. He may be developing problems: dental problems or baldness or other aspects of aging. You will always be in competition with his career or his business, and sometimes the business will win. You will feel like a neglected “business widow” or a “Trophy Wife” who must be perfect and greet the public to assure his position. He probably will not hit you, but sometimes he can seem mean. If you are a spender, then this is not the guy for you because he will be a penny pincher at heart. Violate the family budget and it could mean real trouble.
If some of you (I am assuming the female readers and not the guys) are wondering if you will be satisfied with either one, let me assure you that you will not. No matter how WELL things work out, you will always WONDER what would have happened if you picked the other guy.
If you pick the attorney / judge / corporate guru / Bill Gates (just kidding, Bill, we all know that you are, in fact, stunningly generous), then in your moments of boredom you will wonder what would have happened if you had picked “the exciting guy.” And, if you pick the exciting guy, you will wonder “why is this happening again” as he gets in yet another fight, this time with the guy turning off the cable because the bill was not paid. No matter which one you pick, you will always wonder. YOUR KARMA (Ladies) will be to COMPLETELY let go of the other “path” (guy). Failure to do so will bring you the worst possible result.
How bad can it get? You’ll feel like a character in this Eric Roberts movie.
This brings up another topic. Some of you ladies are cheating on your husband. He is the “Saturn Character” (older, possibly balding or dental, maybe a manager or business man). Well, this chart has maps (for beginners) to decode planets, signs, and aspects. If you use the maps to decode the “Midpoints” section, you’ll find the following: (1) The Moon is in a relationship with the midpoint of Mars and Saturn (and, specifically, each of those is quincunx, forming a “yod” or a DECISION THAT MUST BE MADE); AND (2) Uranus (accidents, surprises, and unexpected events) is in a relationship with Venus (women) and Jupiter (the big amplifier that makes everything BIG).
This latter aspect Uranus conjunct midpoint of Venus and Jupiter has several meanings. Some people will win BIG tonight. But, all three are in the sign of Pisces (revelations, self-undoing, and sometimes hidden enemies (that gossipy next door neighbor)). So, if you are cheating on hubby, chances are good that will be revealed tonight. AND, tonight he might have the energy to tell you to get out (if he is Saturn) or leave after he either beats you (Mars) or arrests you (also Mars).
Tonight can be very, very bad news for women who are cheats. (Remember the Eric Roberts movie mentioned above? It is based on a true story, and that woman went to prison, convicted of murder.) Remember, also, this is a VERY old moon preceding a new moon (and that is about ENDINGS).
Guys: I am leaving it up to you to discern who you are in this drama. Just realize that you may not be who you think you are. The police chief could be Saturn, and the business man might be Mars after all.
(I am adding an annotated version, below, of the above chart to help the casual reader identify Moon, Mars, Saturn, and their relationships in this particular Yod. I leave it as an exercise (Google helps) to identify Venus, Uranus, and Jupiter in their relationships. A search like this might help.)
A New Shift in Values Thursday and Friday April 16 & 17, 2009
April 14, 2009 at 8:22 pm | Posted in Astrology, BadDays, Lunations, Predictions, SignChange | 2 CommentsTags: direct, DoubleVoid, grandtrine, Mars, Moon, Neptune, Station, Sun, Uranus, Venus, void, VoidOfCourse
Wednesday April 15th Moon enters Capricorn (tests, trials, and tribulations) after a few days sojurn in Sadge. The Sun sextile Chiron on Tuesday brought the necessity to at least consider issues of teaching and/or healing. Wednesday’s Mars conjunct Uranus will bring disruptions, especially to computers. My guess is that we will hear more about the “Conflicker Worm.”
The Sun also aspects Neptune (dreams, delusions, and confusion) on this day. Neptune can favor psychic activities, but the rest of us may just be confused or misled. A few may have truly profound insights on this day.
Moon conjunct Pluto at this time adds more stress, particularly with regard to control dramas. Mars, Uranus, Neptune, and the Sun tell the Moon and Pluto that control will not be had this day. Neptune may offer the illusion of “control,” but Neptune is famous for impermanance.
With that cheerful prediction, I might add that we receive some rest with the Grand Trine of Thursday April 16th. If your birthday is on that date this year, this may be a particularly fortuitous year for you. Earth and water signs will particularly benefit this day. Fire and air may still feel more of the aftershocks of Wednesday, but they will get SOME relief as well.
Friday brings back the pressure and intensity, particularly with the Capricorn void that begins the Fourth Lunar Quarter. Buyers are favored, but probably not during the void. My experience with voids is that you often get what you ASK for, but not what you WANT. I have in mind an audio device bought many years ago to play voice. It did that; but any attempt to play music uncovered the fact that the device was useless for that purpose. Avoid purchases before about 1:30pm CDT (Dallas time).
Much of the rest of Friday is pressure back on. Venus makes a Direct Station, and this signals a shift either in money, physical health, or romance. Finances will shift, though the direction is difficult to determine. The same is true for health, except more will have a favorable shift than not. Romance generally will be ending of a short-lived relationship, or possibly the beginning of a longer-term one.
Mercury trines Saturn Friday evening (in Dallas), indicating that this is a very good day for detail work. If you did NOT get your taxes in on the 15th, then you definitely want to get them out on Friday.
The Moon’s square to the Sun on Friday marks the beginning of a double void. For the Moon, that period ends Friday afternoon. But, the Sun continues to be void until Sunday evening when the Sun enters Taurus. The first three degrees of any sign has been called “too early to tell” by some Horary Astrologers. Generally, this tends to be a “wait and see” period. Routinely “launches” should be fine, depending on the project. But, avoid anything “too experimental” until a bit later.
No promises on when I will be able to write more predictions.
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.
March 29, 2009: Pluto Dominates
March 29, 2009 at 12:04 am | Posted in Astrology, Predictions, Weekends | Leave a commentTags: Chiron, deceit, Jupiter, midheaven, Moon, Neptune, Pluto, spendthrift, squares, Sunday, sunrise
Please do not get your hopes up that I will post any more than once or twice a week (at most). But, the mood hit me, and I thought I would do Sunrise on Sunday here in Dallas. (aka “The DFW Metroplex,” or just “The Metroplex”)
I pick the Metroplex for no other reason than “that is where I am located.” Generally, Sunday is characterized by squares. We know this already (if you read the Daily Planetary Guide), but this chart highlights power struggles and issues between the Moon in the 2nd House (money, finances, sometimes health) and Pluto dominant in the 9th House (Long distance travel, foreign relations, court battles, and higher education). Here are some of the dramas I expect to be “heightened” today.
Custody battles have a way of erupting on Sunday evenings. This one will be particularly delicate. Seek diplomacy if possible. Otherwise, be prepared to pay the lawyers again.
College students (higher education) may have to face their inquisitive parents about their grades and “how they are doing” this semester. Spring break is over for most (if not all), and the time is at hand to pass or fail (or whatever the goal may be).
On the political scene, this weekend is a bit fragile in general. This chart confirms that.
The Moon squares Jupiter, Chiron, and Neptune. Moon Square Jupiter is one of the two “spendthrift” aspects (the other being Sun Square Jupiter). Overspending and overeating are notorious here. Chiron signals the involvement of a mentor relationship (not usually parental but possibly) and Moon Square Neptune is all about deceit in many cases. Do not be surprised if you lie or are lied to. Armed with this knowledge, you can decide how you wish to handle the deceit.
