[Originally posted shortly past Election Day 2016 (November 8, 2016)]
Chances are good that, if you follow this blog, you read my piece “A Few Election Predictions.” In it, I wrote “Here is our analysis of the 2012 election. It was also extremely close and extremely messy and difficult to predict. But, we wrote these words: “But, Obama has the Moon conjunct Mercury, a bit more favorable as far as aspects go. We think he will win.” This time we think Hillary will win. But, again, it will be both close and messy.”
Well, I got it “wrong.” The decision came back more quickly than I thought. But, it was “extremely close,” (not in terms of electoral college but in terms of actual votes in each state / county) and Hillary won the popular vote, albeit narrowly. I do not think I should fault myself too strongly.
A piece called “MAD PROPHECY, BAD ASTROLOGY AND THE TRUMP WIN” by McCleary has inspired me to write a followup. The most important point made is one I completely agree with: astrology and Christianity should NOT be viewed as in conflict. The conflict emerged, and emerges, any time an intermediary attempts to interpret God (or “the Gods” or “the Cosmic” or however you conceive of God, assuming you are not an atheist or agnostic).
Witness any of a number of “Black Magic Specialists” out of India and the Middle East, and you can easily pick up on why the entire domain has a bad name. Western astrologers are frequently guilty of abuses also, as are card readers, palm readers, and anything remotely similar. And so was it true with the Catholic Church prior to (and probably after) the Protestant Reformation as they sold “indulgences” and similar corrupt practices. The problem is NOT with Astrology, itself. The problem is with intermediaries who “interpret” God. (The same thing could be said of anyone who has “words to thank for their positions,” not just “poets, priests, and politicians.”)
That said, once the motives of money and power are stripped out of the process (which is one of the main reasons why Grandtrines is both anonymous and not for profit), an entirely new dynamic emerges. “Getting it wrong” can still happen, but the mistakes tend to be “honest” ones.
So, noting modifications that must be necessary (refer to “Zeitgeist,” which we referenced in our previous post), astrologers CAN be based in Christianity (much to the chagrin of both non-Christian astrologers and fundamentalist Christians). You may not agree with that, but we are living in the times of Uranus (Aries) square Pluto (Capricorn), and awakenings to ideas outside of the standard mental “boxes” are happening.
Someone almost certainly lived who was the basis for Jesus Christ. What we have documented in the Christian Bible is almost certainly such a modified story that it may bear little resemblance to what happened in the life of the actual person. Some of it, we know now, is simply preposterous if taken literally. Much of it is almost certainly hidden astrological (and metaphysical) allegory (as per Zeitgeist). Embracing these ideas in modern times leads to a radically new form of “Christianity” that is quite remote from the fundamentalists. It is necessarily tolerant of other belief systems, including the Wiccans that the Fundamentalists reject. (Indeed, this highly modified variant of Christianity may have more in common with the Wiccans than the Fundamentalists.)
For anyone well read enough to know it, one of the old classics in Astrology in the 1600’s was titled “Christian Astrology.” Somehow “we” have forgotten or ignore that despite it being one of the most important books ever written regarding Western Astrology. And, hmm, wonder why he titled it that?
Since my beliefs do not seem to fit with much of anyone (other than McCleary and Lilly and a few like-minded readers), I ordinarily do not discuss those beliefs.
“Mainstream Media” has followed in the footsteps of the aforementioned “black magic specialists,” money changers in the temple, and corrupt priests. They have been so corrupt and deceptive for decades, now, that I (along with others) prefer to call them “lamestream media.” (See, also: Wikipedia entry discussing lamestream media. And, though we adopt this term, we mean no offense to anyone with a disability of any kind, except maybe the ones with a comprehensive inability to think for themselves.)
The power they can wield, and money they can make through their influence, is extraordinarily corrupting. And that is both why THEY “got it wrong” AND why Trump was elected. Enough of us are fed up with the crap this broken system has been putting out that we voted for Trump and halted them from putting their chosen darling into the highest office of the land. For once, we won.
The lamestream media would have us believe that Trump was the KKK president and all that rot. That is what they WANTED us to believe, and that is what they repeatedly published. But, is that really accurate?
If you think it is accurate, then maybe you should read Jack Brewer’s piece where he says “Former President Bill Clinton’s crime bill resulted in more blacks being sent to prison for non-violent crimes than during any other president’s administration in our nation’s history. Not only did he enforce and promote mass incarceration at that time, he went on to stand behind these policies for almost 20 years. If there is one thing that has stripped underserved black communities of opportunity, it is the unwarranted incarceration of non-violent black men and women that has left hundreds of thousands of families without their fathers or mothers.”
Have you not heard this? If not, then maybe you are getting too many of your “facts” from television news.
And if both of those things are true, that you did not know what Brewer states but do get your “facts” from television, chances are good you are a Democrat (or Dem leaning independent).
How can I say that? If you look back at my piece “Presidential Election 2012” you will see this Amazon Heat Map:
That heat map is the kind of thing lamestream media wishes would disappear. Again, you might ask, “Why?” The answer is that it tends to indicate that Republicans (and conservative independents and Libertarians) tend to read while Democrats (and liberal independents and Libertarians) tend to watch television. Sales of paper-based books are dropping, and the pundits and “experts” tended to write off people who read in favor of the dumbed-down television audiences.
But the reasons why paper-based book and newspaper sales are dropping is because those are being displaced by the Internet where, despite the prevalence of Youtube and other “tube sites,” Internet users tend to read, just as you are doing at this moment! “We” (Internet users) are a totally new ballgame, and we are a huge and growing audience.
Collectively, we do not like dumbed-down anything except maybe “Grumpy Cat” videos. And, it was “Dewey Beats Truman” all over again. (See, also: the Wikipedia entry on Dewey Defeats Truman. I think the Chicago Tribune deserves kudos for having the courage to write that piece. But, then, they are a bit of mainstream media for people who read.)
In that election (Truman), the pollsters were wrong because they thought checking the automobile registration rolls and phone books were enough for a “representative sample.” But enough people who did not have either cars or telephones voted to make a big difference. That same kind of thing happened this time, but it is television viewers who drink the lamestream media Kool-aid as opposed to more discerning Internet audiences.
It was NOT just “people who do not have a college education.” (As an aside, that was touted as some kind of insult. We cannot say anything untoward anyone because of race, gender, religion, sexual preference or the rest of the laundry list, but lamestream media pundits can slam an entire group of people because maybe they did not have an educational opportunity? And they call themselves “liberals”? Really?)
The fact is, any astrologer worth their salt knows that these events (including Brexit and more to come) are being driven by the series of Uranus square Pluto transits that have been written about so much. Those are about empowering the disenfranchised and often about drawing new lines in the sand. The fascists, now, are the “liberals” who want to slam their groupthink down our throat using three populous states and a few “swing states.”
The conservatives, now, have become the “rebels.” (Maybe not the best way to say that. If you are a liberal and a “rebel” then it refers to mythic poetry of Star Wars, and you are a hero. If you are a conservative and a “rebel” then you are considered a de facto white supremacist. How is THAT for chicken-sh*t double talk? It ain’t just “Crooked Hillary” that is out lyin’.) Jack Brewer has a good point about the lies and deception coming out of the “liberals.” And people, black, white, latino, asian and other, are awfully tired of it. Mark my words, the election of Donald Trump to the White House is just the beginning.
This is not just about a somewhat vitriolic conservative going into office. It is not just about the fact that NAFTA and Obama-care are abominations. (Free trade is needed, and health care reform is needed (“pre-existing conditions” were just a way to cheat the public), but “open borders” is not the answer and the “Affordable Care Act” has been a disaster.) New lines are being drawn. The Pluto Return for the United States circa 2020 will tell us just how much.

(I thought I had better include the Grumpy Cat video for any liberals who are actually reading this. 🙂 )

A Review of 2016
January 15, 2017 at 2:33 am | Posted in 2016, Astrology | 24 CommentsTags: 2016, Astrology, Stats, Traffic, wordpress
In most previous years, WordPress provided (apparently automatically) a “year in review” post, such as this one. That did not happen for this year, and I can only guess that is because this blog is either too old or receives “too much” traffic. Regardless, we are producing our own variant.
- Total Pageviews: >77,000
- Total Visitors: > 33,000
- Views per Visitor = 2.38
- Posts published: 3,435 (mostly reblogs but SOME of it our own content)
Traffic by country (and, oddly, this shows far less than >77,000; unsure of the discrepancy):
The only thing “surprising” here is that South Africa and Bulgaria have passed up Australia in the number of pageviews. Again, unsure why.
Also surprising: the drop in Canada’s traffic, which routinely tied for second and third place with the U.K. in the past. We see, instead, that India has supplanted Canada in traffic, and that does not tell the entire story. I routinely have chats with various people from India, this blog is rising in popularity in India, and I would not be entirely surprised to see them challenge the U.K. this year (2017) for level of traffic. Bulgaria and Estonia have been strong the past few years, but Estonia seems to have dropped out altogether.
Most Popular Pages:
Select links from those stats:
- An exploration of November 8, 2016
- Jupiter Square Saturn 2016-05-26
- Full Moon in Aries October 2016
- Real Time Astrology: Full Moon in Virgo February 22, 2016
- Black Moon Rising In Scorpio: Prepare For September 30, 2016
- Full moon in Sagittarius – forecast for each sign (Anya’s Astrology)
We have omitted links to our homepage (for obvious reasons), and we are glad that the home page (counted two different ways for reasons we do not understand) as well as three of our forecasts (not reblogs) occupied the top slots.
The traffic for the weekly forecast for Week 21 (466 views) was sufficient justification for spinning off “Weekly Forecasts,” (we also had some other good weeks, not listed here) but then traffic plummeted as soon as the spinoff was done and never came back up. Even worse, the time requirement to write a good set of forecasts is about five hours per week, and that is about 250 hours per year, or a little over six forty hour work-weeks. I simply cannot justify doing that for “free,” and until I can develop a way to “sufficiently” monetize that process the weekly forecasts will continue to be “on hold.”
That Clarissa (Viva Combusta) occupied another top slot is also not surprising, and I am willing to bet Tara Greene will be in a top slot in 2017.
Note, also, that “likes” do not really tell what traffic is. “An Exploration of November 8” had 961 pageviews but only seven (7) likes (other than the one I give myself to “prime the pump”). 961 views but only seven likes? Really? This kind of thing was true on the other pages as well, although Clarissa did manage to obtain eleven “likes” for her 333 pageviews.
This does beg a question: what do “likes” mean, if anything? (Isn’t traffic really a much better measure? Maybe this is a question for Social Psychologists as much as it is for Marketing researchers.)
While Full Moons and New Moons are hot as far as search terms go, the hottest is “horoscope” (predictably) followed by “mercury retrograde 2016” (maybe not quite so predictably). If you want traffic, then write about Mercury Retrograde!
In any case, 2016 was a good year as far as traffic to Grand Trines went.
Edit: Apparently, decision makers at WordPress decided to NOT do the Annual Report (of stats) this year. Thanks to John, Jr. who pointed this out.

A Few Predictions that do not require astrology (2017 et seq, Presidential Politics)
[Originally posted 5:31 AM CST November 8, 2016; minor edits on Feb 10th 2017]
3 Election Predictions
No Astrology Needed
Before we elect a new President here in the United States, facing the choice between Donald Trump (and his family, hereafter “Trump” as is popular) and Hillary Clinton (who is a package with Bill Clinton, the impeached former President, and their daughter), I would like to make a few predictions without astrology (and a bit of one with astrology).
- Whoever is elected will face impeachment, though different reasons apply.If Hillary is elected, the same kind of conduct that has characterized the Clintons in the White House before (email scandals, Bill’s sexual predation, etc.) will continue and impeachment proceedings will be launched.If Donald is elected, his various comments (such as the “locker room talk”) and past actions (such as the Trump Casino boondoggle) will form the basis of investigations and, again, impeachment proceedings will begin.Whether these impeachment proceedings will happen in 2017 or 2019 requires further analysis.
- Obama inherited a financial mess from George Bush consequent to the unnecessary war in Iraq (probably to help make the cronies of the Bush family wealthy but excused by the events of 9/11, sort of, as we went hunting for “weapons of mass destruction”), and Obama’s continued incompetence has NOT healed the economy despite all the rhetoric he is pushing.A particularly bad “crash” is facing us after a dishwater tepid “recovery” and whoever comes into office will be facing that financial crisis. But, to some degree, a bit of a coverup will be done to give Obama a chance to save face.
- In order to cure #2, the incumbent will have little choice but to pursue a “hot” war (tanks and soldiers and battlefields, and as opposed to a “cold” war using spies and diplomacy).This will probably be a middle east war, will probably involve ISIS or some similar entity, and will probably have a precipitating event similar to 9/11 (and “intelligence failures” will be covered up again, just like what happened years ago with Pearl Harbor).
I think any sufficiently astute observer of 20th Century history, and early 21st Century history, can easily piece together what I am saying here.
A Wee Bit of Astrology Needed
[If you have not read our August 2015 analysis of the election, you might want to do so.]
Now the part that requires a bit more analysis, and I tend to rely on astrology here:
If Trump is elected, we will move into a “hot war.” But if the Clintons go back in (and, as of this writing, the indicators are that the Clinton branch of the Bush-Clinton machinery is likely to be back in the White House), then we will go into a “*HOT* war.” This war might be the first one to involve nukes since World War II.
(Might it be “Armageddon”? Let’s hope not!)
Mars and Pluto
Why? What astrology supports a “hot war” regardless of which one is elected? The answer is that *BOTH* of them have Mars (War) in Leo (Presidents and Kings) AND Pluto (Annihilation, Nukes, Spies, Assassinations) in Leo (Presidents and Kings).
However, Hillary has these CONJUNCT (highly amplified and focused) whereas Donald merely has them in the same sector (bad enough!). This deserves a separate, detailed article later, but election day is at hand (and the time is not available to do this kind of detailed analysis).
In either case, the entry of Mars into Aquarius (opposing, ultimately, both the Mars and Pluto of BOTH candidates) marks the coming of the event that precipitates the war.
Strange Bedfellows
One more prediction, part astrology (based on Mars/Pluto) and part not: do not be surprised at all for the one who is NOT the incumbent to become a supporter of the one who IS the incumbent, particularly in this matter of the “hot war.” Both have Mars/Pluto in Leo, and politics does make strange bedfellows.
Post Script: (a rant)
Regarding “Armageddon”: I am not a Bible-thumper, but the Christian Bible does have some valid points from a metaphysical perspective, or at least that is my opinion. As is true for many of us in “The South” (of the United States), I am from a Christian heritage and respect those teachings as much as I can but I cannot ignore certain scientific challenges (example: the idea of a “literal” virgin birth) and historical ideas that have long been concealed but is now coming to light.
Zeitgeist
What might those historical ideas be? I think that Zeitgeist the Movie has some valid points. (I am referring to the roughly the first thirty minutes of the movie, specifically but NOT necessarily the later parts of the movie. (As always, you will have to decide for yourself.)) Let’s face it, astrology is woven all through the original Christian mythos, and 2,000 years of attempting to purge it has simply failed, as censorship inevitably does.
Persecution of Prometheus
What really irritates me the most about the Christian ideology is the conversion of Prometheus, a hero in the Greek mythology who brought the gift of fire (and light and enlightenment and the source of the “Olympic Torch”) to the humans from the Olympian gods into the “fallen angel” named “Lucifer” and an obvious villain in the Christian story.
Frankly, that stinks! SHAME on whoever did that! Prometheus is the ancient emblem of our ability to innovate and create art and technology. But I suppose it is precedent for our collective tendency to sometimes villify people (or ideals) who are truly heroes!
Whoever did that nasty deed was the enemy of independent people who choose to think for themselves, outside the guidelines of the thought police.
Temptation is the Philosopher’s Stone
Do you like Lucifer the Television Show? I do! He makes great points: his power stems, almost completely, from his ability to tempt. Were it not for temptation, he would have no power. But, then again, neither would any of the advertising on lamestream media.
But, let us be clear: temptation is the Philosopher’s Stone. In the crucible of the misery that results from our own bad choices, temptation leads us down a road that transforms us either by our death (literally! as in from alcohol or drug overdoses) or that metaphorically “kills” the old self leaving someone new, as was true with Saul / Paul.
Being a “message bearer” is a dangerous job. The Titans rejected Prometheus after he liberated Zeus (Jupiter, and higher order thought) from Kronos (Saturn, and the bonds and the exoskeleton of “how we have always done things”). He was welcomed by Zeus into Olympus and did well there until he gave fire (light, reasoning, insight) to the humans. Then he was kicked out of Olympus.
But, we humans had to commit the same error as the Gods. As part of the price of learning to reason and have insight, Prometheus exposed the power of Temptation to humans, so we showed our collective gratitude by renaming Prometheus into Lucifer and sending him to Hell (also known as “casting him into the darkness”).
If Prometheus could speak directly to the typical “Christians” and the Christian Power Structure, he would probably say this: “O why dost though persecute me so?”
I bet they might answer thus: because it is just too tempting.

2012 Revisited: A Messy and Close Election
Edit: [late on 2016 November 08, near 6 PM CST] “We also recommend that you read this analysis by Katie Turner over at Know Your Vibes Astrology. It is a good analysis. However, I would offer that I think, long term, that Hillary is by far the more dangerous of the two. (It has to do with this issue of a “hot war” I wrote about earlier. Only time will tell. At an intuitive level, without any deep analysis, I tend to agree also with the others that, whoever goes in, we are almost certainly looking at a one term president, similar to the Jimmy Carter situation of the late 1970’s.)
Here is our analysis of the 2012 election. It was also extremely close and extremely messy and difficult to predict. But, we wrote these words: “But, Obama has the Moon conjunct Mercury, a bit more favorable as far as aspects go. We think he will win.” This time we think Hillary will win. But, again, it will be both close and messy. And, we expect impeachment proceedings to be at least attempted if not completed.”
Neptune Conjunct South Node: Will They Live Long Enough to be Impeached?
Edit #2 November 8th [about 6:35 CST]: Tara Greene has posted “You’ve never seen this, Neptune conjunct Pisces South Node.” So, what was going on in 1849? This was. More specifically, United States President Zachary Taylor took office on March 4, 1849. “Taylor’s status as a national hero as a result of his victories in the Mexican-American War won him election to the White House despite his vague political beliefs.” (Almost sounds like Donald Trump a bit, doesn’t it?)
But, more disturbing, is his death not even two years into the term: “Taylor died suddenly of a stomach-related illness in July 1850, so had little impact on the sectional divide that led to civil war a decade later.” Sworn in in March of 1849 (Pisces) and dead by July of 1850 (Cancer).
Therefore, we modify our #1 impeachment prediction based on the astrological consideration of Neptune conjunct South Node: the impeachment proceedings will be attempted (or completed) given that the incumbent lives long enough for this to occur. (And, based on what happened to the POTUS the LAST time we had the Neptune / South Node aspect, we are concerned regarding some kind of “repeat” could occur. Maybe the big question is actually who will be Vice President?)
Jupiter Quincunx Neptune 2016-10-23 (Focused Yod + Thor’s Hammer)
October 22, 2016 at 11:43 pm | Posted in 2016, Astrology, biseptile, Focused-Yod, Higher Order Aspects, Long Term Analysis, Patterns, Predictions, septile, septile-T, septiles, Thor's Hammer, triseptile | 4 CommentsTags: 2016, 2016-10, Astrology, Focused-Yod, God's fist, Jupiter, Jupiter Neptune, Jupiter Quincunx, Jupiter quincunx Neptune, Neptune, Quincunx Neptune, Thor's Hammer, Yod, Yods
Jupiter Quincunx Neptune 2016-10-23 (Focused Yod + Thor’s Hammer)
As we have written elsewhere, this is part of a larger pattern that we detailed in August of 2014 and, arguably, extends back to 2012, including the notorious Winter Solstice of 2012. We thought that the Focused Yod in the Winter Solstice of 2012 was the most important characteristic, along with a Diamond pattern that manifested later that evening.
Perfection of this occurrence of Jupiter quincunx Neptune also contains a Yod, and if you are willing to use the Nodes (lunar nodes, “Ketu” and “Rahu”) then a Focused Yod is also present here. We also have an additional analysis of this aspect located here in our Week 44 Forecast for 2016.
First, perfection of the aspect filtered for the Yod:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
We note that Neptune (Pisces) is at the apex with Jupiter (Libra) on one leg and the Moon (Leo) on the other. By itself, this Yod tells us that we face a decision, and it is a major decision. When we add the Nodes, we have a Focused Yod:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
So, in addition to facing a “big decision,” we know we are dealing with our individual and collective fates / karma (the Nodes). Chances are good that we are dealing with issues of service to others, jails, institutions, or acts of “self-undoing.” Health issues or spiritual matters may be at the forefront also.
A pair of overlapping Thor’s Hammers (God’s Fists) are also present:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
These tell us that danger, real danger, exists as tempers flare and the potential for people, places, and things to go “boom.” Note that this is following only a few days after perfection of Mars conjunct Pluto, perfecting recently on October 19th. If you can focus this energy and the related emotions, then you can accomplish much.
We have a modest amount of 5th Harmonic activity, but do not see a coherent pattern in these aspects:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
So, some potential for bright ideas and inventions exists. But what is more interesting is a triangular pattern of 7th order harmonic aspects:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
Moon (Leo), Pluto (Capricorn), and Ceres (Aries) form this triangular pattern. Mars is two degrees away from Pluto, and Uranus is five degrees away from Ceres. Pluto and Ceres have a well known history, the story being that Pluto had Ceres (prosperity, food) below ground for about half of the year (a period of fasting and famine) and Ceres was above ground for half the year (a period of food and feasting). Halloween / Samhain marked the start of Fall, reputedly, in Celtic cultures so this set of issues seems somehow appropriate in a metaphoric sense.
We think issues of prosperity / feast / famine will face some (or many) of us at this time. It may be telling us something important about this United States Presidential election and what will be coming afterwards. What may be unclear at this time will be perfectly clear by the period from next April to August (with perfection of this aspect again in May and July).
The last time we had a similar series of aspects was 2004. The next time will be 2027. While they are not a “once a century” kind of rare aspect, they are not particularly frequent either.

Mars Conjunct Pluto 2016-10-19
You have been feeling this building. Solar Fire shows this aspect, perfecting October 19th, to be in effect during this window:

We start with the 7th harmonic filtering of the chart rather than finishing with it. This is the pattern that can give us some hope during what may be a difficult time for many people.
We see a triangular 7th harmonic (septiles!) pattern involving Mars/Pluto, Juno (trust), and Ceres (prosperity). In an ordinary and “low” form, this is females (primarily) deciding to go on extreme diets prior to the holidays. It is not healthy, and we hope that not so many people will do this. Don’t take that path.
In a higher form, this is about trust and prosperity and picking your friends carefully. The Hele pattern that is also present confirms that the choices of friends and allies made at this time is particularly important.
Here is the chart, filtered for 7th harmonic (septile) aspects:

Here is the Hele, a signal to pick your allies carefully at this time:

The remainder of the patterns are hard, except for a single Grand Trine pattern. We start with a Grand Cross formed from Moon opposite Saturn (also very “tough”!) both square to the Nodes (Karma):
[Click Image to Enlarge]
Note that some astrologers will not consider this a “Grand Cross” because the nodes are “points” rather than “planets.” Vedic astrologers, though, do treat the Nodes as planets. (For purposes of patterns, I agree.)
A Hard Rectangle is also present:

We also have TWO Thor’s Hammer patterns present[Click Image to Enlarge]
Thor’s Hammers (God’s Fist) are associated with people, places, and things going BOOM! So are Hard Rectangles. Grand Crosses (the equivalent of four T-Squares overlapping) can be also. It is all very difficult, and it is associated with Mars (violence, war) conjunct Pluto (the higher octave of Mars and police, intelligence agencies, drugs, poisons, and death by assassination).
We do have one more bright spot: a Grand Trine (Grand Air Trine: Sun in Libra, Pallas in Aquarius, and Moon in Gemini) and this is very good for generating ideas and communications. Avoid resorting to violence; talk it out if at all possible!

When to post a New Moon or Full Moon Post
October 15, 2016 at 2:16 pm | Posted in 2016, 2016-Lunations, Astrology, Editorial, Lunations, Special Days | 9 CommentsTags: 2016, 2016-10, 2016-W42, Astrology, blog, blogging, blogs, FullMoon, FullMoons, lunation, Lunations, Traffic
Most of my content, for about the past two years, has been reblogged. Through a near “accident” (wondering what WordPress could do and testing different options) I transformed my blog into a “content aggregator blog.” The decision was the correct one for me though it requires hours a day to maintain.
That said, I see a huge variety in the timing of posts for a lunation (Full Moon or New Moon). Having watched this process for about 50 lunations or more, I have some observations:
- If you are not interested in “click through” from reblogs by someone like me, time your posts for 24 to 48 hours before the lunation. Less than 24 hours, and you have lost your audience. They have gone out to play, and they are no longer interested in what you have to say.
- If you want the benefit of reblogs, as well as the full attention of your audience, time your posts about 48 to 72 hours out. You will capture about 24 to 48 hours of audience, and my reblogs will capture the rest. Your click through rate will tell you how interested people are in your particular way of analyzing and describing the upcoming lunation (as well as providing useful solutions to the many who seek those).
- From my vantage point, I can see clear “winners” and “losers” in terms of who gets readership. If you want to see who the top five were for this Full Moon (October 15/16), check the links at the bottom of my page for the Full Moon. The order has been randomized to obscure who was “#1” and who was “#2” and so forth. But these five had nearly as much traffic as everyone else combined. (OK, my page did well, too. But I am taking myself out of the mix since I cannot evaluate myself neutrally.) See, also: Full Moon of October 2016.
As an example, here are my stats leading up to the Full Moon of October 15/16 (Saturday night, and weekend Full Moons are almost always the busiest in terms of traffic):

Harvest Moon 2016 (2016-10-15) A Butterfly and a Hard Rectangle
More than a few of you have correctly deduced that this is one of the more special Full Moon(s). We begin by showing a chart of the FM that contains a pattern we have not seen before. We call it a “Hard Butterfly” in the absence of any other name to the contrary. It is composed of two interlaced T-Squares that also contain a Hard Rectangle within them. Here is the fourth order harmonic chart that most clearly elucidates this pattern.

Here is the Full Moon chart filtered to more clearly show the Hard Rectangle:

As we have discussed before, these kinds of patterns (T-Squares and especially Hard Rectangles) provide so much energy that they are “dangerous.” You can accomplish much, but you run the risk of “overdoing it.” Martians (Intelligence Agencies, Police, and Athletes) will tend to do well and in some cases have tremendous accomplishments but, again, run the risk of “overdoing it.” If you are not a Martian, then make certain you avoid dangerous people, places, and things and avoid being such a person yourself.
A Thor’s Hammer (God’s Fist) pattern is also present with Saturn (the Greater Malefic, and a source of tests, trials, and tribulations) is at the Apex. This is yet another amplifier of the situation we have already described, and it is associated with people, places, and things going “boom.” Here is the same chart but filtered for the TH:

We will likely have more to say and more to add over the course of the day as the FM moves towards perfection. Till then, we encourage you to focus your efforts into beneficial and useful work, avoid dangerous people, places, and things, and have as much safe fun as you can muster on the even of this “Harvest Moon.”

Mercury Square Mars 2016-10-13 (Thor’s Hammer)

Mercury Square Mars 2016-10-13 (Thor’s Hammer)
The bad news is that, once again, we face this dangerous aspect. The good news is that it is the last occurrence this year. In fact, SolarFire’s Electional Search feature does not find another occurrence until 2018 (refer to list, below).
This one is uncomplicated, and a single pattern is present: a Thor’s Hammer. Watch your temper today, avoid sharp words and avoid dangerous people, places, and things. Whatever it is, walk away from it. If you are a warrior or criminal, then you might be empowered today. But, if you are one of those and you lose, then you will tend to “lose big.”
We present the chart for perfection of Mercury Square Mars on this date, filtered for the Thor’s Hammer pattern:

2016-10-07 Sun Square Pluto (Thor’s Hammer)
This repeats in two versions, each once a year. The other one was earlier in April, and both will repeat in April and October for the next few years. We repeat what we said in April: Sun Square Pluto is about power and power struggles. On a personal basis, chances are good you will see conflict, and you may see violence (including the use of lethal force). Police and intelligence agencies tend to be activated at this time, and death and taxes are issues, too. We add that you might want to look back to what was happening on or about April 6th to understand better what is happening at this time.

2016-09-16 Lunar Eclipse (Full Moon; Rosetta + T-Squares)
September 16, 2016 at 12:56 am | Posted in 2016, 2016-Lunations, Astrology, Lunations, Patterns, Predictions, Rosetta, Special Days | 3 CommentsTags: 2016, 2016-Lunations, Cardinal T-Square, eclipse, eclipses, full moon, Full Moons, FullMoon, lunar eclipse, lunation, Lunations, Moon in Pisces, Mutable T-Square, Rosetta, Sun in Virgo, t-square, T-Squares
2016-09-16 Appulse Lunar Eclipse (Full Moon)
First of all, let’s clarify the basic message of this Full Moon / Eclipse: you have much to accomplish in the next month to eighteen months, some of the projects are overdue, you have the energy to do it if you can avoid unproductive and unnecessary anger (note that SOME anger, sometimes, CAN be productive!), and you will have to form temporary allegiances with people who have the potential to later betray you. THAT is the basic message.
How do we get this? First, Mercury is Retrograde and less than a week away from the Direct Station. This FM/Eclipse must involve projects on hold, details that must be attended to, and the resurrection of old projects whose time has come.
Next, since this is a Full Moon, it will govern the next two weeks the strongest but could govern a period of up to eighteen months because an eclipse is involved. The time period may vary based on other factors such as subsequent eclipses, subsequent Mercury retrograde / direct stations, and patterns in your personal chart or the charts of those around you.
Finally, this eclipse has a number of T-Squares in play, including a very “tight” (potent, powerful) T-Square with Mars in Sagittarius squaring the Sun in Virgo and Moon in Pisces. Mars is at 23 degrees and Sun/Moon at 24 degrees, and in many cases (but not all) this involves Algol aspects in the birth chart. If you have Algol near 24 degrees (as many do) ans aspected in your birth chart, then you will likely “feel” this one. Moon is also close to Chiron (health, education, and sometimes both; the “wounded healer”) and those issues may be in play. (More on that in a moment.)
We could stop there, regarding the mutable T-Square, but ANOTHER mutable T-Square is present, this one involving Saturn in Sagittarius, squaring the Nodes. Note that Neptune is conjunct the South Node, and this makes sense because the third (of three) Saturn square to Neptune recently perfected.
This mix (Nodes, Saturn, and Neptune) brings in a heavy dose of “karma” tempered by problems with “reality checks.” (aka “Oops, my reality check just bounced.”) No matter which side of it you are on, you are WRONG here. (That is what you wanted to hear, right?)
If you are being practical and realistic (Saturn) then you lack vision and will never accomplish your heart’s desire (Neptune). And if you are a bit too dreamy, then you lack the necessary practical effort to accomplish it, either. The real answer is in balance. Some dreams can never be accomplished but, also, sometimes we surprise ourselves. BOTH of these contradictory and paradoxical truths are necessary.
We present the chart of the FM / Eclipse, filtered for T-Squares:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
While many (most?) other astrologers have focused on the Mars / Eclipse T-Square, we believe that you cannot safely ignore the T-Square with Vesta (traditions) in Cancer (family in particular but also water, liquids, oceans, and related) at the apex, Uranus (23 Aries) squaring Vesta on one side, and Venus (love, money, health) / Astraea (law, lawyers, and the legal system) / Hygeia (health and healthcare) in Libra (very STRONG for Astraea) on the other side.
We would not be surprised to see important lawsuits filed at this time, or events that lead to important lawsuits, or both. These will tend to involve health and healthcare (Hygeia AND Venus) especially involving females (Venus) and maybe cosmetics or beauty products (Venus). Do pay attention to these possible issues that may affect some of you, particularly if you are twenty three degrees of a Cardinal sign (i.e. Aries, Cancer, Libra, or Capricorn). We suspect that those born near 23 Capricorn (January 12th to January 14th) may feel this especially strongly.
More obviously affected are the mutables (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces) at twenty three degrees, and we think those at 23 Gemini (June 12th to June 14th) will feel this especially strongly.
What does “feel” mean? It means that you will have “strong” energy and that is very good or very bad with not much in between depending upon your “level of advancement” (which is New Age speak for the ability to harness and direct the energy and circumstances to your will). For mutables, this might be more of “surfing” the energy and circumstances (as you tend to do anyway) rather than “harnessing” the energy and circumsntances. Other signs would be wise to work on developing those same skills to the degree possible. (I am certain that a Taurus surfer exists somewhere in the world, maybe several of them, but it is a bit difficult to imagine a piece of granite gliding atop a wave. I suppose anything is possible. I have seen the universe produce some rather curious events and circumstances in my lifetime.)
So, in summary, you must address ALL THREE sets of issues (T-Squares) to “get this right.”
Most forecasts stop there, but we will not. (OK, I admit it. That was a self-serving advertisement. Yes, it is true. I AM a solar Leo. The only reason I can do astrology is that 11th house stellium. In a sense, I am an “Aquarius in Leo clothing.” But, I digress.)
The pesky matter of that Rosetta remains. Short term alliances are essential to accomplish what you must get done, whether it is in the next two weeks or next eighteen months, but the fact of the matter is that the Rosetta pattern tends to bring treachery. People not only tend to “sell out,” but they do so easily. Expect no loyalty no matter how sincere they may seem. Here is the same chart, but filtered for the Rosetta pattern:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
At this point you should have enough to work with. For some people, maybe many people, this is a special and rare opportunity. (As, curiously, much of 2016 has been.) Use it wisely. (2017 and points forward will be a very wild roller coaster. You will look back at these days longingly. Trust me on that!)
Love it or hate it, the period that started “about” August 15th is soon coming to an end. We will have a major shift, maybe a previously unthinkable shift, soon. (This might involve presidential politics.) Expect it.

Mercury Square Mars 2016-09-12 (Hele + Rosetta + Thor’s Hammer)

Mercury Square Mars 2016-09-12 (Hele + Rosetta + Thor’s Hammer)
As was true with the Mercury Square Mars aspect of July 29th, a Hele and Rosetta are present in this variant of the aspect. Unlike July, a Thor’s Hammer is present rather than a Yod. That means that this time issues have “heated up,” possibly issues from late July, and the key is to examine your alliances without losing your temper or being victimized by your associates. To be certain, this is a dangerous window. (We say window because arguably this aspect affects at least the day before and day after perfection of the aspect, namely the period from September 11th to September 13th.)
We present perfection of the Mercury Square Mars aspect, filtered for the Thor’s Hammer:

Sun Trine Pluto 2016-09-07 (Mystic Rectangle + Kites + Rosetta + Hele)
This repeats in two versions, each once a year. The previous one was in September, and both will repeat in May and September for the next few years. Sun Trine Pluto is also about power and power struggles, but the trines tend to be more benevolent than the squares in April and October. Still, take a look back at April 7th. And, when you reach October 7th, compare your experiences now to then.
The perfection of this aspect is very busy with a number of patterns present, including a Mystic Rectangle, Kites, a Rosetta, and a Hele. Opportunities about, and you may need to form coalitions to achieve certain results, but sorting out friend from foe could be tricky.
Here is the chart, filtered for the Mystic Rectangle:

Solar Eclipse of September 1st 2016

Solar Eclipse of September 1st 2016
This particular eclipse is personal for reasons I do not wish to disclose on the open internet. I thought about NOT writing about it and just leaving the 2016 New Moons page and the writings of others (reblogs) as my proxy.
But, I changed my mind. And then I found a body of work I had produced on this eclipse a few weeks ago. No written work, mind you, but chart graphics from the time when I developed my analysis of the rather important Grand Quintile of August 28th. That confirmed for me that I needed to put up what I had done in a post.
This Grand Quintile period we are in, from August 28th until September 11th, is particularly rare. If you check the Grand Quintiles from 1800 to 2050 page, you will find most of them last a few hours or a day. Exceptions exist, such as in 1809 and 1810, but they are just that: exceptions. So is this current window.
This Solar Eclipse, a special type of New Moon, is a punctuation mark in this window. It also corresponds to an Eclipse in September of 1997, which was an extremely important period for me personally. I am left wondering what this one will bring me.
First, let us take a peek at the Kite pattern that is present. Kites are not extremely rare, but they are not particularly common either. This one has the Eclipse, itself, at the focal point and Neptune in opposition (and Neptune is part of the Grand Trine that forms the body of the kite). (Kites are always, inherently, built from Grand Trines, the pattern that is the namesake of this blog (and my internet alter ego).) Some of us, likely many of us, are facing one of the most important opportunities of our lives. We are at one of the most important junctures in our individual and collective lives. The decisions, and followup actions, that we make (or not) are critically important to the results that manifest (or fail to manifest) consequently. Negligence is a profound danger here.
Here is the chart of the Eclipse, filtered for that Kite pattern:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
Juno and Vesta (both major asteroids) form the other points of the Grand Trine. Juno brings issues of trust and intimacy to the forefront, particularly as they involve wives, sisters, mothers, and other female family members. Vesta is about traditions and whether or not we follow and honor them or create new ones when old ones no longer serve us.
Here is the same chart, filtered for the Grand Trine instead of the Kite:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
We note that the opposition of the Eclipse to Neptune has not yet quite perfected, but will perfect soon with the annual opposition of Sun to Neptune on Friday. Friday’s opposition has a Thor’s Hammer (energy, often in the form of violence or explosions) and a Yod (insisting that an important decision must be made). You will have to make a decision in this period, and something or someone from the past (Mercury Retrograde) will be part of that decision.
This Eclipse also has a Thor’s Hammer (aka God’s Fist) present with all the “energy” (and DANGER!) that brings. (Do be careful!)
[Click Image to Enlarge]
We also note the presence of a Rosetta; we interpret that pattern as indicative of the important of short-term alliances and relationships. Treachery is a very real possibility, and people (including major politicians) are likely to shift their positions and allegiances at this time.
[Click Image to Enlarge]
T-Squares are present and amplify the energy (and danger) of the Thor’s Hammer:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
This next point is particularly important: please note there are TWO independent sets of T-Squares. This makes “handling” the sources of “irritation” difficult and more likely impossible. We would not be surprised at all to hear about someone or something “blowing up” (or a mass shooting) in the next few days. Since the Eclipse really consumes nearly the entirety of the African continent, we would not be surprised to see the event there.
Here are the Seventh Harmonic or “karmic” aspects:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
We note the presence of a triangular pattern of septiles composed of a septile, biseptile, and triseptile. Chiron, Saturn, and Astraea are involved. We would not be surprised to learn of a major lawsuit (or similar legal system involvement) involving either educational or healthcare systems (or both). Frankly, we think there will be “hell to pay.”
We will stop there, but we cannot emphasize strongly enough just how important this window of opportunity is. After September 11th, most of it closes. All will be gone by Mercury Direct Station and the Autumnal Equinox. By then, “the concrete will have set.”

Only a handful of New Moons have a Grand Quintile during the period from 1800 to 2050 (and Solar Fire did not count this NM as one of them though we argue that it is):

Sun Opposite Neptune 2016-09-02 (Kite + Yod + TH)
If you kept your notes from Sun Conjunct Neptune on February 28th, then review them now. This is another day that is best for poets and photographers. We have a Yod in play, so you may need to make a decision at a time when your decision making is not at its best. A Thor’s Hammer is in play, so you need to watch your temper and watch for others that might be dangerous. But a Kite is also in play, and an opportunity is present. Keep your eyes open lest it pass you by unnoticed.
Here is the chart for perfection of the aspect, filtered for the kite:

Grand Quintile of August 28, 2016
August 27, 2016 at 8:20 pm | Posted in 2016, 5th Harmonic, Astrology, Grand Quintile, Higher Order Aspects, Patterns, Predictions, Special Days | 20 CommentsTags: 2016, 2016-08, 2016-Lunations, Astrology, Grand Quintile, lunation, Lunations, Mercury, mercury retrograde, New Moon, newmoon, solar eclipse
As we have written elsewhere, we are entering an amazing window of time. Here is the basic chart for the Grand Quintile of August 28, 2016, filtered for the Grand Quintile:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
Here is what we have written about this window of time that begins with this pattern:
We are at the edge of entering a truly amazing period of time that starts “about now” (late Leo, circa August 15th and points forward) until some time in late September, possibly “about’ the change of seasons at the Fall Equinox. Here is why it is amazing:
- A Grand Quintile forms on August 28th. These are even more rare than the Mystic Rectangles we encountered a few weeks ago. By itself, that would be enough, but….
- Mercury stations retrograde on August 30th (and, as of August 15th, we are in the “shadow” of the retrograde where we are already “feeling” some of the disruptions and shifts in our patterns that are yet to come). (See, also: Mercury Stations and Ingresses for 2016.) I would argue that the Grand Quintile of August 28th continues to be in effect. BUT, how to use that massive influx of creative genius when Mercury is making a (retrograde!) station? And we note that Mercury stations direct again on September 22nd, shortly after the change of seasons (Fall Equinox). Clustering of events like this are a sort of “punctuation mark.”
- We have a Solar Eclipse (New Moon, but a rather special kind) that affects most of the African continent and especially central Africa. This Eclipse perfects on September 1st and has a number of other patterns present. While I am not sure of this, I would not be entirely surprised to discover that some (many? most?) people of African descent are affected. AND *SOME* geneticists argue that, to some greater or lesser degree, we are all descended from Africans (those of us who are of Asian or Caucasian descent being nomads who left Africa very long ago). I would AGAIN argue that the Grand Quintile is still in effect. (Why? Because it “re-appears” on September 3rd and continues to September 11th. That leads me to believe that the computer program that detects this pattern cannot see something that, currently, only human eyes can.)
- “Another” Grand Quintile (re-)appears on September 3, 2016 and continues until September 11, 2016. Is it really that big of a deal? YES! If you look at our page “Grand Quintiles from 1800 to 2050,” you will see that about 200 of these occur in the 250 year time span (a quarter of a millenium). BUT, they often occur in groups of two or three or more during a particular year and then not again for several years. The next ones happen in 2020 (curiously, the next election cycle!). For those of you who can “channel” this amazing energy, you have a window where you may produce some of the greatest creative works of your lifetime. Please do not let this slip by you!
- Mercury Retrograde will move backwards across the Sun AND North Node (Karma) during this cycle and back across them after moving forward. “Luke, it is your DESTINY!” Whatever is the best use of your personal creative genius, this is the time to use it/them.
We hope to write some posts about this amazing window, but sometimes we get derailed by personal events, have computer problems, etc. AND, we are getting older and crankier and sometimes we just do not get things out the way we would like. The computer that we used to produce our posts and content was out of commission for MONTHs, and it is just now online again. We will help if we can, but on the outside chance that does not happen, you need to HELP YOURSELF. Make a list of your goals, especially your creative goals, and what you would like to bring to fruition at this time. Is it photography? Poetry, Songwriting? Sculpture? Is your gift creative writing or maybe writing “how to” books? How about computer programming or “big data” data science? Are you a medical researcher or someone who might be writing a law review article? Whatever it is, THIS is your window. Every moment is precious. Use it wisely.
And, as far as the political arena goes, expect to see nothing short of AMAZING and unprecedented events!
Here is what one commentator wrote about the Grand Quintile of 2004.
Full Moon August 18th 2016: Danger and Opportunity
August 16, 2016 at 1:14 am | Posted in 2016, 2016-Lunations, Annual Repeating Aspects, Astrology, Kite, Lunations, Patterns, Predictions, Rosetta, Special Days, Thor's Hammer | 4 CommentsTags: 2016, 2016-08, 2016-Lunations, 2016-W34, Aquarius Moon, full moon, FullMoon, God's fist, Grand Trine, Grand Trines, Grand Water Trine, Leo Sun, lunation, Lunations, Moon in Aquarius, Rosetta, t-square, T-Squares, Thor's Hammer
Full Moon August 18th 2016: Danger and Opportunity
We see both danger and opportunity in this Leo / Aquarius Full Moon. With Sun at 25 degrees Leo and Moon at 25 Aquarius, both are square to Algol in Taurus. That alone would be enough to give pause. But, a pronounced Thor’s Hammer pattern is present, and that is present with anger and temper and people, places, and things that go Boom!
Here is the FM chart, filtered for the Thor’s Hammer pattern:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
A Rosetta pattern is present, telling us that we will need to make allegiances but they will tend to be short-lived and may turn to treachery:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
We often ignore T-Squares in our analysis, but a number are present and some of this has figured in a major way in events this summer starting in May / June. Here is the same FM chart but filtered for T-Squares:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
Please do note that Mars, in Sagittarius, is square the Nodes in Virgo / Pisces (the Nodes are sometimes called “Rahu” and “Ketu” by Vedic astrologers). This brings an especially “karmic” or fated feel to any violence that occurs at this time. And, by this FM, at least some of the violence will have manifested leading this to be a time of sorrow and weeping for many.
Opportunity is present and signaled by Grand Trines that connect to the South Node / Neptune:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
We note that, while a true Kite is not present, signalling a strong opportunity, we have what has been called an “almost Kite” completed by Pluto. Since Pluto is at the apex, we expect the “opportunity” to deal with death, police, intelligence agencies, or financial institutions (or some mix of those).
[Click Image to Enlarge]
Finally, the presence of a Yod signals that an important decision must be made. We choose one path or the other and should never look back. If we look back, we will only see the rosy picture of the other path and not the hidden dangers that peppered that choice.

2016-08-02 New Moon in Leo (Mystic Rectangle and more)

2016-08-02 New Moon in Leo (Mystic Rectangle and more)
The New Moon of August 2nd is characterized by a Mystic Rectangle that begins July 30th and persists until August 4th. Mystic Rectangles are comparatively rare, but we note that 2016 has an abundant supply of them. (Click Here to compare other New Moons of 2016. And click here to compare the Full Moons of 2016.)
Hillary Clinton also has a Mystic Rectangle in her natal chart.
Here is the chart of the New Moon, filtered to identify the Mystic Rectangle:

The question remains: WHAT IS a Mystic Rectangle? A variety of comments have been made, but analysis of astrological patterns is not discussed much elsewhere (that I have found) and I am left with the impression that it is a late 20th Century / early 21st Century innovation. (I am sure someone “out there” has evidence to the contrary. But, so far, I have not seen it.) Here are some of the links we have found:
- Cafe Astrology on Aspect Patterns
- J Buss on Mystic Rectangles We note that Buss also calls these “Golden Triangles”
- Kelli Fox on Mystic Rectangles
- Kepler College on Lucifer’s Rectangle
- Lunar Living on Mystic Rectangles
- Real Astrology Academy on Mystic Rectangles
These all say the same thing: (1) they describe the pattern (two oppositions tethered together by sextiles and trines and (2) it is a rare but benevolent pattern. On #2, some variance exists with some saying that it is merely “helpful” while others describe it as “golden.” We think that it may include important lessons learned since we have seen it tied to certain traumatic events this year.
In any case, a window is open containing one from July 30th until August 4th of 2016, and the Leo New Moon is contained within that window. Since what we call a “Kite Key” is also present (two interlaced Kites that are often associated with a Mystic Rectangle), we think that a rare window of opportunity is present here. We suggest you seize it.
This New Moon also has a Hele (long term alliances) and Rosetta (short term alliances that might include treachery) present. We present the New Moon filtered first for the Hele and then again for the Rosetta:

We think these patterns mostly speak for themselves and need little explanation to regular readers of this site. But we will recap: the Hele (Venus / Uranus + Mars / Chiron) is about long term alliances and choosing between one side or the other. (For this reason, we consider both the Hele and Rosetta as “polarizing” influences that lead to conflicts such as The Police (as a collective) versus the Black Lives Matter movement (as a collective).) In this case, one side (leg) is Venus / Uranus (unusual romances or innovative finance, take your pick) and the other is Mars / Chiron (the Wounded Healer (health, education) in alliance with The Martians (Warriors such as police, military, and similar)). You can pick one side or the other but not both.
The Rosetta has Mars / Chiron on one leg (and we note that is RATHER similar to Mars / Neptune) and Astraea / Vesta on the other leg (law and lawyers aligned with traditions and “the way we have always done things). We think, among other things, this might involve the privacy battles between, on one side, Apple and the EFF (and most of the tech community), and, on the other side, the NSA and FBI (and most of the police and intelligence agencies). Needless to say, elements within each “side” do not trust other elements within the same side. Presenting a “unified front” is tricky.
This complex and sophisticated New Moon has more to offer. Upon filtering for Kites, we found what we call a “Kite Key.” This is a pair of interlaced Kites, and it represents a rare and incredible opportunity for those with “eyes to see it.” Here is the same New Moon, filtered for the Kites (and “Kite Key”):

We note that the Apex of this pattern is found in Vesta in Cancer: traditions and “how we have always done things” particularly with regard to home, oceans, graves (and graveyards), and anything having to do with water or any kind of “final resting place.”
The underlying Grand Trine is composed of asteroids, and if you do not use those then you can disregard much of what we are saying. (But, we think most of the audience DOES want to here what we have to say.) Here is the same chart, filtered for the Grand Trine underlying the Kites:

Finally, a Yod is present. That means you MUST make an important decision. You can choose one side or the other, but you cannot choose both. Here is the same New Moon, filtered for the Yod:

The last time we had a New Moon on August 2nd was 1970. If you were born on that date (August 2nd of 1970) then this NM represents a special turning point for you. We would argue that the same is probably true, also, for those born on August 1st or August 3rd.
Next is a list of Leo New Moons from 1950 until 2050.
