Red,White and Blue Moon May 22.

MARS, the red planet
will be opposite the Sun and be closest to the earth on MAY 22
on a Blue Moon
- During the Mars opposition, the red planet will be brightly visible from dusk to dawn
- Eight days later, Mars will be closest it’s been to Earth in more than decade
- Blue Moon will be on Saturday night, followed by Mars opposition Sunday
- A Blue Moon is not actually blue, but is third full moon of four in a season
The opposition of Mars will take place on May 22 and will bring the red planet within roughly 47 million miles (75.6 million km) of Earth. This means that it will align with the sun in a way that places Earth directly in between the two objects. Opposition is pictured above, image not to scale.
In effect the earth is eclipsing Mars from a Heliocentric perspective. For…

Full Moon 2016-05-21 (Grand Cross, Kite, Hele, and Thor’s Hammer)

Full Moon 2016-05-21 (Grand Cross, Kite, Hele, and Thor’s Hammer)
This Full Moon marks an important turning point. The FM perfects on the 21st, the day before Mercury Direct Station on the 22nd. And, the FM is in the “too early to tell” parts of Sagittarius and Gemini. That means that more will be revealed to us, particularly if you are a Sagittarius or Gemini.
Because of the presence of a Grand Cross, with Astraea in Virgo and Pallas in Pisces, that same admonishment applies to Virgo and Pisces as well. If you are Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo, or Pisces, then you about to receive a major surprise, most likely a beneficial one, but nevertheless a surprise.
Here is the Full Moon (FM), filtered for the Grand Cross:

We also have a slightly longer term Thor’s Hammer (God’s Fist) present that covers the few days before the FM and the days after as well (meaning the weekend). As with other Thor’s Hammers, the potential for danger is present, and the energy needs to be channeled into productive outlets to prevent something or someone from going “boom.”
Here is the FM, filtered for the Thor’s Hammer:

Also present is a Hele, a sign of the formation of long-term, or at least longer term, alliances. What is thorny, here, is that the alliances will tend to be formed in the “too early to tell” period, and that means that you may discover some aspects of your allies, later, that might not be so pleasant. (Be careful who you pick for your new friends.)
Here is the FM, filtered for the Hele:

An opportunity is present here also. We have a kite, a bit of a loose one, and that shows opportunity for those who can see it. Here is the same FM, filtered for the kite:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
This opportunity tends to favor Pisces and Virgo in particular. For Pisces, this is easy to see and easy to take advantage but does not represent a “growth opportunity.” (Are you looking for one of those?) For Virgo, the reverse is true: hard work and personal growth results but it is a major opportunity.
In any case, do keep in mind that Mercury is about to station direct, that this FM is in the “too early to tell” period, and that we are all about to experience a “surprise” of some kind.
And, by the time of the next Full Moon (June 20th, also Sagittarius Moon / Gemini Sun), it will seem that everything that occurred was “fate.”

2016-05 W20: Forecasts for Week 20 of 2016

2016-05 W20: Forecasts for Week 20 of 2016
We are in the middle of May as well as a series of retrogrades including Mercury Retrograde, and “things” are likely to be interesting until at least after May 22nd (arguably later because of the other retrogrades in play also). (Clarissa has written a great piece on the Mercury Retrograde. And you can find more about these periods for the rest of the year here. This page may also be useful.) The Taurus New Moooon perfected on May 6th, and we will have a Sagittarius Moon / Gemini Sun on May 21st (a day after Sun moves into Gemini). Let’s be clear: for better or worse, “things” will change with that lunation and the accompanying Mercury direct station.
School is out, and has been out, for most students, and that particular weekend (May 21/22) marks the true beginning of “summer” for anyone who follows the academic year. But astrological summer, the official beginning of “summer,” does not begin until the Summer Solstice on June 20th (which also has another full moon). The retrograde station of Chiron on June 27th and direct station of Mars on June 29th will mark another significant shift. We will cover these events in more detail as they near, but keep in mind these critical dates as you set plans for vacations, trips, meetings, and so forth.
Some time in the next few days we will delete the older May predictions and add newer ones, so please do check back. We are not gone, but we are not checking in EVERY day, either.
One final note: we know that the “Live Traffic Feed” in the sidebar is not working correctly, but the problem is not on our end. We want to give the provider at least a few more weeks before we remove it altogether. It has been with us since the beginning (2008), and we hate to remove it. (But, if it continues to be broken, then we will be forced to do the inevitable.)
May 8th
Today is Mothers Day, and a (very loose) Grand Cross is arguably in play. “Things” may be a bit weird with some “things” grinding to a halt (“full stop!”), and others suddenly becoming ready for launch. Look beyond the chaos for the opportunity, and launch whatever needs to be launched today. That could include being kind / helpful / generous to your mother / someone else’s mother / a woman who wishes she had been someone’s mother or someone similar. Look beyond the obvious for the opportunity to be a decent human being worthy of having had someone to care for you when you could not care for yourself.
May 9th
Jupiter stations direct today. Some of you have been feeling this for a few days or maybe longer. You really feel it if you, or someone close to you, is clergy (or a particularly spiritual person), a lawyer or otherwise involved with the legal system, or someone who works in higher education (or someone who once worked in one of those systems, including those who are retired or disabled).
Jupiter is associated with centaurs and kindness to animals can be a good idea today. Consider watching Earthlings if you have never developed a sense of decency or kindness towards animals. (Warning: “Earthlings” is not for the faint of heart. It can be very difficult to watch!)
May 10th
Venus (Taurus) trines Jupiter (Virgo) today, and the Moon is very active. Retrograde Mercury (Taurus) also trines the North Node (Virgo), and the outer planets are quiet. Given the consideration that five planets are retrograde, much can be accomplished today particularly short term objectives that may be part of resurrected projects from the past. Most people tend to benefit from today although earth signs (and water) tend to benefit the most. This is likely the best “get things done” day of the week and maybe the entire Mercury Retrograde period.
May 11th
Most of the work day in the Western Hemisphere is void, and Venus Quincunx Saturn clearly marks that yesterday’s window of opportunity has closed and this is mostly an “off day” for most people. Jim Shawvan marks this particular lunar void as an “opportunity period,” but we still think it is a risky period. Avoid major commitments today if at all possible and stick to routine.
Hygeia stations direct, and issues involving health and healthcare will come to the forefront for some people. Also, Mars sesquiquadrate Uranus in early hours tomorrow makes both today and tomorrow potentially dangerous. Do not do anything rash in traffic, and avoid saying words that you may not be able to take back later.
May 12th
Today is a mixed bag but more good than bad and certainly better than yesterday. Today is not as good as Tuesday but much better than yesterday. Retrograde Mercury (Taurus) trines Pluto (Capricorn) and something comes back to us. This could be an old project or it could be a lost (and important) object. Quadrinoviles involving Vesta (bright ideas but typically more for police / military) are present this evening.
Write down those fleeting ideas and know that they can be useful later, possibly as the planets move direct. Late evening has annoyances, and new parents may have a baby that cannot be consoled. With yesterday’s Hygeia station consider healthcare for the young one if any doubt whatsoever exists regarding their status.
Mars sesquiquadrate Uranus in early hours makes both yesterday and today potentially dangerous. Do not do anything rash in traffic, and avoid saying words that you may not be able to take back later.
May 13th
Retrograde Mercury and Venus join and later Venus trines Pluto. This is all mostly benevolent, but a lunar void tells us to stick to routine after noon. Previously planned events (and dates) may not work out. Your date this evening might be a “no show.” Try not to be too angry as this may have involved events beyond the control of the other person. Stick to routine if you can, and have fun with whomever is present.
May 14th
Early morning hours are tainted by a lunar square to Mars which is wonderful for athletes and can be good for police officers but is miserable for most of the rest of us. It is short term and will pass. Sun sextile Chiron dominates the day bringing up issues involving healthcare, teaching, and mentors. While all of those will not apply to you, likely one of them will apply. Today and tomorrow the mutable T-Square we have been discussing (refer to our New Moon analysis) is activated by Moon in Virgo. Expect irritations and channel that energy into useful accomplishment.

2016-05 W19: Forecasts for Week 19 of 2016
May 1st
Moon enters Pisces as Sun (Taurus) sextiles Neptune (Pisces). Generally, poetry, music, photography and videography (and cinema) prosper today whether you are audience or artist. Vesta / Neptune quintile favors arts that examine traditions and Venus BiQuintile Mars hints at police or military traditions. For many people, this is mostly a quiet day and a very good day to visit someone who is sick or wounded and in the hospital or otherwise in need of having their spirits lifted.
May 2nd
An early morning conjunction of the Moon and Neptune (both in Pisces) brings either good sleep or vivid dreams or maybe both. If you did visit a sick or wounded person yesterday, then you may find that today is a turning point for them (they either get better or they “decide” it is time to leave this world). A variant of the mutable T-Square (very loose) affects the day as Moon opposes Jupiter (Virgo) then squares Saturn (Sagittarius) over the course of the day. You will want to wrap up old projects if you can and clean house. “Things” can be accomplished today, but with the Moon in Pisces (and waning) and five planets retrograde (including Mercury and Mars), you should like stick to issues involving healthcare or spirituality.
May 3rd
Moon turns v/c after a sextile to (retrograde) Mercury just after midnight (CDT / EDT; before midnight MDT / PDT) and remains void until Noon (CDT) when it enters Aries. This same period is good for cleanup and writing poetry and spiritual matters but not so much business dealings or signing contracts. Jim Shawvan marks this as an “opportunity period,” but a risk of theft or deception is present. (Maybe it is an “opportunity” for thieves?)
Sun trine Jupiter makes this a “feel good” day for most people, and there IS the possibility of accomplishing something profound. Just make certain you are thoroughly prepared and be ready for “surprises” to happen anyway. The evening tends to be quiet.
May 4th
This is a mixed day in terms of lunar aspects with trines and squares present along with a conjunction to Uranus (both in Aries). Sun quincunx perfects late at night (or early morning depending upon your time zone), and we can be “bitten” by false hopes and unwarranted expectations. Communications are particularly confused today.
May 5th
Today is Cinco de Mayo, a Spanish holiday. Like Beltane (May 1st), it is associated with a Cross-Quarter Day. A Venus (Taurus) / Mars (Sagittarius) quincunx joins the Sun (Taurus) / Saturn (Sagittarius) quincunx, and we expect communications (and transportation) to be even more confused and chaotic than yesterday. Moon is v/c again in the early morning hours after a conjunction to Uranus (both in Aries) and “surprises” are the order of the day. By shortly past Noon (CDT), the Moon moves into Taurus (setting the stage for the New Moon on Friday).
Since the Moon is very “old,” this is a good time to clean house and discard of unwanted or unneeded items. This is also a time to terminate relationships that are no longer useful or helpful. AND, that means this is also “Dark of the Moon,” and powerful intuitions can come at this time. Some people use this window to “work magic.”
May 6th
The New Moon is today (perfection at 2:30 PM CDT), and more housecleaning is in order in the morning along with a suggestion of taking Friday afternoon “off” today. A “cazimi” period is present from 2 PM to 3 PM (CDT), and that can be very useful for accomplishing important matters that must be done today. Two outer planet biquintiles are present, so if you have brainstorms that require action today then do them in the cazimi period or put them on hold until another day. After 10 PM CDT the Moon moves void, and a quiet evening at home is recommended by that point.
May 7th
Sun trines Pluto in the early morning hours, and Moon moves into Gemini (ending the void) about a half past noon CDT. We think that this Sun / Pluto trine is strong enough (a Kite is present that includes a Grand Earth Trine that includes Jupiter and the nodes) that, once the void is over, you might accomplish something useful today. Keep in mind that the Moon will still be in the “too early to tell” period and five planets retrograde (with Jupiter station direct on Monday) that you may have to do a “re-do” or somehow adjust your project later. But, this is a particularly powerful kite, so you might consider plunging ahead with the opportunity anyway (even knowing that some of it might be a bit “messy”).

May 19, 2016 at 4:21 pm | Posted in Astrology | Comments Off on Sun in Gemini; May 20 – June 20, 2016 ☀♊
“We are all butterflies. Earth is our chrysalis.”
― LeeAnn Taylor
After the sensual phase in Taurus, the Sun beams into fun and flirty Gemini on Friday, May 20th. This shift is taking us from Earth to Air, from our bodies to our minds.
As the social ice-breakers of the Zodiac, Gemini enhances the pleasure of communicating with others and brings a lively, playful vibe that enlightens us. Our lust for knowledge and stimulating conversation will be on the rise…as well as the need to point a middle finger at ancient ways of thinking.
Gemini’s symbol, the Twins, gives us the image of duality: things often come in twos for the Gemini born! Their dualistic nature is rumored to have a split persona (more often labeled as two-faced) channeling the twin depiction. This is because Gems can usually see both sides of every situation and can change their…

Full Moon Ritual: Make it simple and meaningful
May 19, 2016 at 4:19 pm | Posted in Astrology | 1 Comment
“And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand, they danced by the light of the moon.”~Edward Lear
The upcoming full moon on May 21, 2016 will emit a spirited frequency that will surely leave you feeling more playful than in recent weeks.
We can start to celebrate (nearing) the end of a tumultuous Mercury Retrograde by turning our attention within and taking those last few reflective moments as Mercury hangs in the sky preparing to move forward on May 22nd.
This is a time to literally “dance by the light of the moon” and if you happen to be lucky enough to live near a body of water you can do it “hand in hand, on the edge of the sand”. Full moon rituals don’t have to be complicated and there is no right or wrong way to do them.
A full moon ritual honors the cycles…

May 19, 2016 at 4:13 pm | Posted in Astrology | 1 Comment
Whoompf! Here it is!
This month’s full moon is on the mutable axis of Gemini and Sagittarius. The polarity of the mind and the mind(?) Well, you know Gemini is the twins, right? It can be said that Gemini is in two minds- a mind-hive of ideas and industriousness, creativity and ingenuity. Well, Sagittarius is the othermind- the explorer, adventurer and philosopher. This polarity is always open to insightful moments.
Back in November, we had this from the other side. The Sun was optimistically running through Sagittarius and the Gemini Moon was there giving airy fuel to the fire. The challenge that Sagittarius and Gemini gave us then is being looked at from the other way around. Air, meet fire, how do you do?!
What else is going on?
Well, we’ve had crazy patch of retrogrades- five at one time. Now down to four and then three after…

In Memory of Cainer

Some time over a decade ago, and before I started this blog, I discovered the work of Jonathon Cainer. He was a standard “Sun sign” style newspaper astrologer in the UK, but he was also much more than that. His daily entries had a remarkable quality to them that I describe as “philosophical.” While others, myself included, would focus in on the details of what, say, a Sagittarius Moon / Gemini Sun type full moon had to say, Cainer would zoom out and speak in lyrical words of poetry about the bigger picture of such a turn of events.
He was, in a word, inspiring.
So, I was disappointed to discover this morning, May 19th, that he had passed away on May 2nd of this year, 2016. No chance now of him reading that email that I kept thinking about sending him for years but then not sending because I wanted to remain anonymous. No chance of somehow showing up in England and having a chance encounter where I might speak to him for a moment. The windows are closed, and the best I can do is an analysis of his birth and death charts (based on available data) in his memory.
His birth chart is remarkable, having both a Stretched Pentagram and a Diamond in it. These tend to be rather rare, and he had both of them. We show the birth chart for the Stretched Pentagram first:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
It is the kind of chart, from the perspective of patterns, that is nothing short of amazing. Here is the birth chart, again, with the Diamond highlighted:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
Much of the Diamond and Stretched Pentagram overlap. The evening of Winter’s Solstice 2012 (aka “The End of the World as We Know It”) had a Diamond in it, and while 2012 came and went without the end of the world, we can say that this period of years, marked by the Uranus / Pluto squares (or, as Cainer called it: “the bell tolls seven times”) has been remarkable in changes and upheaval (“Arab Spring,” “Black Lives Matter,” the dominance of “smart phones” in our collective lives, the candidacy of Donald Trump for President, etc.)
Cainer had other patterns also. He had a “Square Key” which is really two interlocked “Huber Learning Triangles.” These tell us what his biography said: he worked through some rather intense “karma” to reach the point he did in life. Life was not particularly easy for him in the beginning, and arguably it was probably fairly tough even after he had acquired fortune and fame.
Here is the chart filtered for the Square Key:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
Just in case that was not enough, he also had a “Double Yod Key” (DYK). This tells us he was face with many tough decisions, the kind where you always look back and wonder “what if I had taken the other path”? Filtered for DYK:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
The DYK is hard to see because it is built into his other patterns. But, if we filter for yods, we find three of them, and they are a bit more obvious:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
This is NOT an “easy” life. It is spent worrying about “what if” I had done something else. But Cainer was also born with the ability to accomplish much, and he did.
[Click Image to Enlarge]
Finally, we see a Rosetta in the birth chart. We interpret this as “unstable alliances,” and from what we know this was true as well. He moved back and forth between newspapers as shifting alliances pushed him to do just that.
If we filter for a Grand Cross we do not find one, but if we filter for T-Squares, then a slightly “loose” Grand Cross is obviously present (and a source of tremendous energy and the ability to “get things done”):
[Click Image to Enlarge]
A 5th Harmonic filter shows a triangular pattern (two quintiles and a biquintile) involving Mars, Pallas, and Venus:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
We might add here that his highly activated Neptune near Midheaven is an indicator of psychic abilities. It can also indicate alcohol or drug problems or some kind of involvement (he did manage a bar at one point). We suspect that he felt many people “pulling” on him. (Neptune can be the savior / martyr complex as well.)
Seventh harmonic in the birth chart also contains a triangular pattern and is sufficiently activated to indicate, again, these “karmic” issues to work through:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
Vesta/Hygeia, Neptune, and Sun compose the triangular pattern and indicate, again, both psychic abilities and physical illness as well. (We suspect that long term / chronic illness may have plagued him but that he did not disclose it publicly.)
Now to the death chart. A single pattern dominates: a hard rectangle!
[Click Image to Enlarge]
One other pattern is present in the death chart: a Kite (if you are willing to use North / South lunar nodes):
[Click Image to Enlarge]
We note that the remainder of the kite is formed by Mercury and Pluto, both retrograde. It is almost as if the cosmic said “OK we will give you a little more time to accomplish something, and then it is time to go.” We may never know what that “something” was because it likely dealt with family and financial matters. But he had received a reprieve of some kind from what was likely a “close call” of some kind earlier. (Again, we will likely never be able to confirm or deny this.) This kite also says that someone, somehow, greatly benefited from his death! (What could that mean?)
Seventh Harmonic is also interesting:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
Mars, Astraea, and Sun are involved in a triangular 7th harmonic pattern (made of a TriSeptile and two BiSeptiles). We wonder if some kind of legal issues were about to emerge at the time of his death. (Again, we would bet that this is something private despite 2 out of 3 planets being above ground.)
Finally, we present the bi-wheel without patterns or much analysis except to note that his second Saturn return was upon him (and the one for the author of this blog is not too far away either). Saturn returns often “take us home,” and that is what happened for him.
[Click Image to Enlarge]
We have little more to add to this analysis, especially since we prefer our readers dig into it for themselves. But, he was a giant in the field, and he will be missed. And, as an aside, my own coming Saturn return leaves me rather “nervous.”
Jonathan Cainer – An Astrological Eulogy
May 19, 2016 at 5:48 am | Posted in Astrology | Comments Off on Jonathan Cainer – An Astrological EulogySaturn returns tend to take us home, and Jonathon Cainer was on top of his. He was a strong influence on my astrological work; his voice will be missed.
Jonathan Cainer has been acclaimed the most successful astrologer of his generation and the “world’s most trusted astrologer”. He was reportedly read by up to 12 million people around the world (his horoscopes were translated into Spanish, Italian, German, Turkish, Japanese and Chinese), and was the Daily Mail (UK) astrologer for 20 years. His daily astrological forecasts were widely syndicated including the USA, Canada, South Africa, Australia, (Bali) Indonesia and New Zealand.
He suddenly died in early May 2016 but having been acclaimed rightly or wrongly the most popular and successful astrologer of his generation, this is an achievement that warrants astrological examination of both his western and Vedic charts to see what was indicated in his astral destiny and a brief analysis of why he died ‘in the prime of his life’.
I did not know Jonathan well. I first heard of him in the early 1990s from a…

The First Sagittarian Full Moon
May 19, 2016 at 5:42 am | Posted in Astrology | 1 Comment
‘ You have to keep breaking your heart until it opens‘ Rumi
The Full Moon on Saturday is the first of two in Sagittarius. The issues of Gemini and Sagittarius will be open to us over the next twenty-eight days. This doesn’t happen often, so it must be a way to keep our attention on the issues of these two constellations, occurring again June 20th with another full Moon in Sagittarius.
Gemini can be summed up as our words and thoughts, Sagittarius as our beliefs.
The Gemini Sun scintillates in the double energy of twins.
Once again the hawk rises and sails. Mercury is the messenger of the Sun and ‘rules’ Gemini. It takes tremendous courage and discipline to hear the message coming from the solar center. At the moment of this full Moon, Mercury is traveling in retrograde motion, but on Sunday, the 22nd, he will station direct…

FULL MOON IN SAGITTARIUS 21st MAY
May 19, 2016 at 5:41 am | Posted in Astrology | 1 Comment
On Saturday 21st May we have the first of two full moons in Sagittarius. This one is nose-to-nose with the warrior planet Mars, at 1 degree of Sagittarius. The first and last degrees of signs always intensify the qualities of the planets in question, and this one puts a sword-like laser spotlight on communication and truth. Full moons are always pretty intense anyway, as whatever has been drifting along in the unconscious, is brought into the light. The combination of energies this full moon could create some wonderful exciting sparks in communications and ideas… or a raging inferno… depending on how we respond in the moment.
First of all, Mars… masculine, driven, assertive, passionate, impulsive and potentially aggressive, is still retrograde and because he’s a forward-moving type of chap, it’s not something he’s too fond of. Actually he can get rather edgy, frustrated, agitated or flat-out pissed off …
