This year, the Aries New Moon activates certain parts of the United States.  (More on this in a moment.)  Here is the basic chart:

You will notice that this chart is dominated by Fire as an element.  Fire is not necessarily literally fire(s), but can be explosions both literal (an oil rig explodes) or figurative (a person on a rampage).  Fire is also indicative of leadership and initiative.  The Fire of Spring is all about starting new things.

We note that New Orleans is activated by a Chiron and Neptune crossing.  This can mean many things, ranging from a healing from Katrina to bracing for a hurricane season even worse than the one that brought Katrina.  Whatever the case, we predict New Orleans is a place to watch this year.

Saturn in Scorpio at Midheaven has a line along the northern portion of the West Coast.  We think this may indicate the possibility of more earthquakes, significant earthquakes, in this region this year.  And, more generally, a number of complex activations are lighting up eastern Washington, Idaho, and Western Montanna.  Nevada is part of this mix as well.  We expect a series of complex and important issues to emerge in this region of the country.

While this is not an eclipse, we have a number of eclipses this year.  Jude Cowell has written this excellent piece about the eclipses this year.
