We start with a version of the chart that specifically focuses on aspects to the Sun. Since the Sun and Moon are precisely aligned in an opposition (a Full Moon is an opposition of the Sun and the Moon), aspects to the Sun are also aspects to the Moon. However, we are showing the Sun to make the point that these aspects are longer lasting, surrounding the FM before and after.
This Full Moon is active (as the previous chart showed). Here are the patterns that are in play here:
- Grand Trines (a Grand Earth Trine and a Grand Fire Trine)
- A Kite (and a separate “almost” Kite that we omit)
- Hard Rectangle (which likely affects Texas and certain other geography but not everyone directly)
- Thor’s Hammer / God’s Fist
- Rosettas (which we show) and Heles (which we omit as poorly formed)
- Square Keys
Our analysis: The grand trines are almost always a sign of opportunity, if we seize it, but a temptation to simply enjoy a “good time,” allowing the gift to pass us by. The Kite emphasizes this moreso, and since the kite is tied to the Moon we know this will not last long, a day or two at most, maybe only a few hours.
A Hard Rectangle appears for the chart set in Plano, and it will affect certain other parts of the United States, also, but since the Midheaven is involved it will be fleeting. Tempers can soar with these, and since Neptune is involved the anger or violence may have alcohol or drugs involved. If no alcohol or drugs, then a person who has been marginalized may go on a rampage.
The Thor’s Hammer patterns further confirms what the Hard Rectangle tells us, and at least one of these is global, not tied necessarily to a particular geography. I hate to say it, but we may still see more shootings.
Rosettas and Heles tell us that the politicians will be active, and anyone similar to politicians will also be active. In particular, issues of allegiance and loyalty will be in play, and treachery will be part of the mix. Watch your back!
Finally, we have Square Keys. These tend to tell us that we have lessons to learn, and we can learn them if we pay attention.

Full Moon 2016-07-19 Diamond Pattern
The Full Moon of July 19th of 2016 has a rare diamond pattern in it.
[Click Image to Enlarge]
We will have more to say about this FM as it approaches perfection, but you need to know now that this indicates we are in a window of rare and powerful importance. Diamond patterns are rare, and we had one on the Winter’s Solstice of 2012 (when many people predicted the end of the world). We are not at the “end of the world,” but we (collectively) are facing major change, and this diamond pattern confirms that.
This is likely the most pattern rich lunation we have seen since we started the blog in 2008. (But, you might want to compare this to the Full Moon of May 21st, also an important lunation this year.) The following patterns are included in this particular lunation:
- Diamond
- Rosetta (several)
- Hard Rectangle (has been associated with violence when not properly channeled)
- Mystic Rectangle (a sign of rare opportunity and present in Hillary Clinton’s birth chart)
- Kites (two, interlaced; signs of powerful opportunity)
- Thor’s Hammer (aka God’s Fist, a pair of them in an incredibly rare configuration resembling a Star of David)
- Grand Cross (sometimes associated with violence as we saw in late June of this year)
- A Yod (sign of a decision; a “fork in the road” where we must decide with no turning back)
We will have more to say in the hours that come as this FM perfects, but we are just getting the basics out there for anyone else interested in patterns. Let’s face it: we live in unusual times, and the days really are bringing new, and sometimes disturbing, events.
The Rosetta is a sign of quick alliances that might turn to treachery or deceit later. Pick your “friends” carefully at this time. This chart has SEVERAL of them:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
We have seen the Hard Rectangle previously associated with violence this year. (Compare the Hard Rectangle of April 22nd.) This FM has one of those, also:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
The Mystic Rectangle is also particularly rare. We note that Hillary Clinton’s birth chart has one of these. They bring special gifts and opportunities to a person, and they bring the same to a window of time and the events in that same window of time.
[Click Image to Enlarge]
We note that in addition to containing the Full Moon itself (Cancer Sun opposed by Capricorn Moon), that the Mystic Rectangle also contains Astraea (law and lawyers) in Virgo (healthcare and accounting) opposite Chiron (the Wounded Healer and Teacher) in Pisces. I bet major changes are happening that involve BOTH the legal system and the healthcare system. (We may not be publicly aware of them, but they are happening. The story will eventually come out.)
On a personal level, it is best to take care of either set of matters (legal system, healthcare, accounting / record keeping, and educational) at this time. This is, clearly, a turning point.
We have two interlaced kites present. This could be considered to be a “kite key” or something similar. These are not just “kites” (windows of opportunity), they are “super kites” (huge windows of opportunity, if you have the eyes to see it).
[Click Image to Enlarge]
We note that these Kites CONTAIN the Mystic Rectangle WITHIN them! Open your eyes: something special is waiting for you! We note that a similar pattern occurred with the Winters Solstice of 2015.
An incredibly rare pair of Thor’s Hammers are also present. These are INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS, but they also contain the power to “get things done.” Channel that energy (and anger) into a constructive process that harnesses the opportunity (opportunities, really) that are present.
[Click Image to Enlarge]
We call this unusual pair of Thor’s Hammer patterns a “Thor’s Hammer Star.” (But, if you like to call them the “God’s Fist” patterns, then we would call this the “Star of God” pattern. Truly this signals that God / the Universe / your Higher Power is speaking to you now. Please listen!) We note that each of the nodes (“Rahu” and “Ketu”) are each at the apex of each Thor’s Hammer pattern. The nodes are considered “fate” or “karma” by many astrologers.
Also present is a Grand Cross. The mutable grand cross of late June was discussed much by a number of astrologers. The consensus was that it was associated with the shakeups and violence of that period.
[Click Image to Enlarge]
We note that this is a CARDINAL Grand Cross. The Mutable Grand Cross was about ENDINGS and cleaning things out. This one is about launching new things, though we may still want to do some “cleaning out” during the next two weeks of the waning moon.
A Yod is also present:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
Yods are places where we MUST make a decision. Even “deciding not to decide” (abdication) is a decision. We are at a fork in the road. We must choose and never look back. The other path will always “look better,” but it, too, had its difficulties. The time to decide is at hand.
Finally, we note the presence of a Grand Trine. It is contained within the heart of the pair of kites we mentioned earlier. It brings “good times” and can make us lazy when we should be working. Do not let the opportunity slip by you.
[Click Image to Enlarge]
We will add more, later, as we approach perfection of this FM. But, for now, we have covered “the basics.” And, in this case, those “basics” present to us very much to consider and act upon.

Full Moon 2016-05-21 (Grand Cross, Kite, Hele, and Thor’s Hammer)
May 19, 2016 at 8:01 pm | Posted in 2016, 2016-Lunations, Annual Repeating Aspects, Astrology, Hele, Kite, Lunations, Patterns, Predictions, Weekends | 5 CommentsTags: 2016, 2016-05, 2016-Lunations, Astraea, Astrology, God's fist, Grand Cross, Grand Cross Full Moon, Hele, Kite, kites, Mutable Grand Cross, Pallas, 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:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
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:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
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:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
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.”

Full Moon of December 6, 2014
December 3, 2014 at 11:38 pm | Posted in 2014, 2014-Lunations, Astrology, Lunations | 4 CommentsTags: 2014-lunations, 5th order harmonics, 7th order harmonics, Astrology, biseptiles, Grand Cross, Grand Cross Full Moon, Grand Trine, Grand Trines, Lunations, maps, Mystic Rectangle, Quintile, quintiles, Rosetta, septiles, Solar Map, Solar Maps, Square Key, squares, t-square, triseptiles
We live in complex and troubling times. While that might could be said of any period of time (“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness”), we see a number of patterns activated during this full moon and are reminded of the disasters of 2010 (a series culminating in the Deepwater Horizon).
A number of astrologers have mentioned the ongoing series of Uranus / Pluto squares covering several years. We do not need to cover that again here, but we do need to note the important of the context that aspect provides in the following discussion. If everything was driven by loving trines, then maybe it would not matter. But, that’s not true. We have squares in general, and grand crosses and t-squares in particular. And we have Thor’s Hammer (aka God’s Fist) patterns. A rosetta and mystic rectangle tell us that we are (still) polarizing. (Duh, you easily read that in the news. But the astrology is consistent.) A large number of 5th order harmonics tells us we can find creative solutions. A large number of 7th order harmonics tells us that we are dealing with karma that insists that we find those solutions.
Step by step, here are the variants of the Full Moon Chart for December 6th of 2014.
1. Grand Cross and T-Square
[Click to Enlarge]
If we allow ourselves to count the node, we have a long term grand cross that has been in play for some time and will continue. This grand cross is an extended vision of the famous Uranus / Pluto squares discussed elsewhere. It brings in the fate and karma of the North Node along with the issues of health, healthcare, and healing from the asteroid Hygeia. Though the node is technically not a “planet” (or asteroid or other body), we suspect that this method of approaching the current variant of the Uranus / Pluto square yields the most insight. We cannot ignore issues and disparities in our healthcare systems any longer.
The Full Moon combination of Sun/Moon has Chiron (the “wounded healer”) square to it. This is another signal that issues in health and healthcare must be dealt with, and Chiron blends in issues of education (particularly healthcare education, such as the training of healthcare professionals). Expect to see changes in healthcare education, starting in 2015 and beyond.
2. Grand Trines
We see a series of variants of a particular grand trine (Fire: Aries / Leo / Sagittarius) in this chart. Grand trines are usually stabilizing influences, but this is a FIRE grand trine. When tied in with the other aspects, what we see is that it likely provides an insistence on change and on the need for leadership in facilitating the needed change(s).
[Click to Enlarge]
No matter which side you take on these current issues, you know that strong leadership is needed at this time. Few people can honestly believe that we can move forward from where we are without certain major changes in our system happening.
3. Kites
Kites sometimes occur with grand trines, and the signify opportunities. One of the strongest here involves the node (opportunity, but HARD WORK needed to manifest that opportunity), and the other integrates the full moon itself (and this means it is particularly tied to the days of December 5/6/7). Somebody will make some serious money from this, perhaps a HUGE windfall.
[Click to Enlarge]
Since Jupiter / Uranus are involved in this second kite, this will be a time where we might see some huge “lotto” (figuratively if not literally) windfalls. Somebody will win big.
We would also argue that this interlaced pattern of kites constitutes the emergence of a new pattern, perhaps it could be called something like a “twin kite key.” (It looks a bit like a house, so it could be the “house that kites built.” But “twin kite key” is more succinct.)
4. Rosettas and Mystic Rectangle
We see two rosettas (highly polarizing in their influence) and a mystic rectangle (an odd mix of conflict in some areas but stability in others) in play in this full moon:
a. Rosettas
[Click to Enlarge]
We note that both of these involve the North Node (“fate” and hard work).
b. Mystic Rectangle
[Click to Enlarge]
The North Node is also involved here as well as the current full moon and Uranus. This combination likely indicates a fleeting but powerful opportunity; the window will close soon.
5. Square Key
[Click to Enlarge]
Yet another pattern telling us of work to be done. Additionally, this pattern indicates that we may be dissatisfied with the results not being quite what we had hoped for. Sun / Uranus / Hygeia / Chiron in this pattern ties together the health and healing issues again.
6. 5th Order Harmonics
We see a number of 5th order aspects (quintiles and bi-quintiles) in this chart, telling us that creative solutions are available if we are open to receive them.
[Click to Enlarge]
7. 7th Order Harmonics
We also see a number of 7th order harmonics. This tells us that we had better avail ourselves of the available creative solutions (and do the work necessary to make them happen) or “else.”

Here is a map of the United States on this FM. We note that the east coast is quite “lit up” with activity.

Here is the map for Southeast Asia. We note that a coast of India is highly activated. Malaysia and Indonesia are activated. And a crossing of Juno and Jupiter near Japan indicates that issues involving trust are brewing there.

We see the Moon in Aries opposing the Sun in Libra, which is what we expect at this time of year. Several things make this FM interesting. First of all, Pluto in Capricorn squares it, which greatly heightens the tension. Some of the people born at this time will be quite remarkable, judges, or generals, or maybe serial killers. If you use asteroids in your interpretations, then we see Hygeia (healthcare and health issues) in Cancer in opposition to Pluto in Capricorn. I would not be surprised to see HMO’s or some similar kind of healthcare issue pop up in the news. (We already have the Ebola discussion, but this involves something financial, such as why Big Pharma has not funded much (any?) research on developing a vaccine for Ebola.)
[Update: Thomas Eric Duncan dies on this date (less than two hours after culmination of the full moon), spurring much debate about the healthcare system. NY Times Article. ]
Another condition that makes this FM interesting is that Mercury is retrograde. Some things really are “coming to a head” or to a “boiling point” with this FM and some people will decide that “something must be done.” We may see some kind of important breakthrough about six days after the FM as Mercury moves backwards to conjoin Pallas. Alan Lin describes Pallas as the “Goddess of Applied Intelligence.” We may not see a good window to fully apply this breakthrough until after the New Moon and possibly until after Mercury turns direct.
All of that SHOULD be enough, but we note, also, that a Grand Fire Trine is in play: Moon and Uranus together in Aries, Jupiter in Leo, and Mars (and Vesta!) in Sagittarius. This provides the inspiration to “get things done” but does have the danger of “much talk and no action.” Whether or not action occurs depends on Pluto (finances) in this case. If you decide to become enthusiastic about something, pick a project (or projects) that have the resources (money) to actually be done. Otherwise it will all be much ado about nothing.
Like one of those late night television advertisements, here is where we say “but, wait! That’s not all!” Remember that rare (and USEFUL!) Quintile Kite that we keep talking about! Well, that happens the NEXT DAY on October 9th. Use this surplus of energy (FM, Grand Cross, Grand Trine) on a project that is feasible (Pluto in Capricorn) and funnel those energies into creative solutions (Pallas, Vesta, Quntile Kite). Solving problems involving healthcare issues are especially favored. And, keep in mind that you may hit some bumps in the road. You may not see progress until after the New Moon or even after Mercury makes the Direct Station (October 21st).
Apparently some of you do like the maps (I received some feedback about this). Keep in mind that what I put up, or say, depends on feedback. 1,000 visitors and no one comments about maps means that no one is interested and I take them down. (And, yes, that kind of thing can easily happen. This site sees roughly 12,000 to 13,000 visitors per year currently, so 1,000 visitors can easily come through in a month. A month with no comments leads me to believe that I do not have much interest in what I am doing and I expend my time and energy elsewhere.)
Here is the U.S. map:

This is a very active map, but it only has one noteworthy crossing. We see lines through Denver, Albuquerque, and Nashville. Eastern Seaboard is lit up with a complex collection of lines with Boston and Philadelphia particularly affected. But most interesting of all is the crossing of lines a few hundred miles due east of San Francisco. If I had to pick an “interesting” place to be (in the U.S.) on this full moon, I would pick San Francisco or more specifically that spot a bit east of there. Interesting “things” may happen there. (But, even more interesting, see Trondheim, below.)
Regarding the map of Europe, we first see a Vesta line through the UK, approximately on the border between Scotland and England. Looks like things there may not be quite settled. And, since Vesta (THE “warrior goddess”) is involved, and on the Ascendant, we may see the UK become involved (decisively!) in a military action. What I am saying is that they may decide to strike. And, if they do become so focused, they will pretty much obliterate the enemy, whoever that is. (Ouch!)

Something equally troubling is brewing in Poland (I do not read the news there, so I do not know what), and we see this with the Mars line coming so close to Warsaw. Lithuania is similarly activated, and we see Austria, Italy, and several other countries “picked up” by this Mars line. Sun and Moon lines are near Berlin and prominently influence the Czech republic as well. Not sure how Germany will handle this, but I bet that change is “afoot.” I think that Germany CAN use this time/energy to make their financial position EVEN STRONGER. (And, to be sure, they are very strong.)
Even more interesting is how the already powerful financial juggernaut of Norway has a Vesta/Venus crossing! Wow! If I could move to Norway and start a career there, then I would be tempted to do just that! This is really the place to be, maybe even more than Germany. Trondheim is VERY strong. (Refer to Map.) All of Scandinavia is treated quite well by this FM, but Norway is particularly strong (with Sweden very close)!
(Too bad Trondheim is not a sister city to Plano!)
The complex of lines through Southeast Asia, including Cambodia and Viet Nam, is really too complex to interpret. This may be the most highly activated area in the world currently, and the unrest could break out into some kind of war, possibly something similar to a civil war. The instability is really difficult to describe. Also worrisome is the triple line crossing at the northernmost edges of India and Pakistan. Involving Chiron (old wounds), Neptune (deception and misunderstanding), and Mars (violence and war), “things” could become very dicey here as well.

The Jupiter / Vesta crossing in Eastern Iran indicates some kind of powerful opportunity there for someone who knows how to take advantage of it. Here is a “zoomed out” map of SE Asia:

Australia is far quieter than these other parts of the world. However, Sydney and Newcastle may be experiencing some odd kinds of problems with their food supplies this spring. (This is spring in Australia, and that is probably a good excuse to go visit.) Perth is also activated, but a Pallas Descendant line is likely to be beneficial: certain individuals (and maybe teams) in Perth has an opportunity to innovate solutions that may not be obvious to others.
MLK Holiday Weekend Astrology Forecast for 2014

MLK Holiday Weekend Astrology Forecast for 2014
Sometimes the astrology tells us what we already know. That is, it confirms the obvious. That is true for this weekend. Two patterns stand out, and both are following the recent Grand Cross Full Moon of January 2014.
The first pattern is a Thor’s Hammer a bit past 1 AM CST, (2 AM EST) on Saturday morning. This would be just past midnight in Denver and past 11 PM on Friday in California. Thor’s Hammers have been associated with people and places that go boom, and we have seen them in events associated with problems in mines and mining. If it passes uneventfully, then the energy will likely dissipate quickly. Otherwise it will feed into the Yod that follows.
Yods are associated with choices. Since Thor’s Hammers are associated with unpredictability, we cannot say what key decisions would follow if an event occurs related to the TH. Otherwise, we get an obvious holiday weekend pattern for the MLK Holiday weekend of 2014.
Namely, the Yod has Mercury at the apex (youth, communications, transportation) and Jupiter (in Cancer, which probably means family outings and travel) at one decision point and the Moon in Virgo at the other decision point (which likely means time spent at home quietly). We expect these decisions on holidays weekends, but the Yod tells us (1) the decision is an important one and (2) we will be disappointed with the decision regardless of which option we choose.
Since the Yod is a fairly wide pattern that covers at least a day if not two or three, we do not present Solar Maps for that pattern. Here are the charts (and maps for the Thor’s Hammer) for both patterns:
