2016-09-16 Lunar Eclipse (Full Moon; Rosetta + 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:

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.

For many people this is either a day of rest or a routine workday without disruption. Venus trines Jupiter, and this is one of the ultimate “feel good” aspects. You might overeat or spend too much money or overindulge in some other way. That is the main “danger” for most people. Sun is quincunx Jupiter, so misunderstandings might occur (double check or defer any contract that you might sign). But, for most people, it is mostly a good day. Enjoy if you can.

Wednesday January 13th 2016
Wednesday is complex. The good news is that the Sun trines Jupiter, an annual aspect that almost always confers benefit (unless you “overdo” it). (Traditionally, Jupiter is a “malefic” (bad) though many modern astrologers (including myself) count it as a “benefic” (good). Why the dispute? It is an AMPLIFIER. Jupiter makes “things” “big,” such as Powerball winnings. It makes the bad worse and the good better. Like big Powerball winnings, the result you get depends on where you point it and how you use it.) However, we do note that the best use of this particular aspect on this date is “getting things done.”
The bad news is the Venus Squares Chiron. Issues involving either (a) finances + education or (b) the physical body and the pain of recovery will rise to the surface. (As always with Chiron, health, or education, or both, will likely become the focus of the day.)
A potpourri of lunar aspects color the day, squares and trines alike, but most of the day in the western hemisphere (and the later part of the day into the early morning hours of Thursday in UK / EU) is colored by a bracketing of the window by Moon in Pisces conjunct Neptune at the beginning 7:17 AM CST and near the end by Moon in Pisces conjunct Chiron 12:22 AM CST on Thursday. BOTH of these emphasize the “healthcare” aspect of the day, and the first throws into the mix a need to help those less fortunate than ourselves along with a risk from scammers. (Best to donate anonymously to well known causes that you thoroughly understand. Please do not throw money to criminals.) For some people, particularly students about to begin a new semester, this day is a turning point.
And just in case you might somehow miss the “message” of the previous paragraph, Sun also Semisquares Neptune, producing a significant sense of urgency to address these issues immediately, whatever they may be.
Astrological Patterns for Hillary Rodham Clinton
August 2, 2015 at 3:38 am | Posted in 2016, Astrology, FamousPeople, NatalChartAnalysis, Patterns | 8 CommentsTags: Astrology, Clinton, Grand Cross, Grand Trine, Grand Trines, Grand Water Trine, grandtrine, grandtrines, Hele, hele key, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Moon in Pisces, Mystic Rectangle, Natal Chart, NatalCharts, people, pisces, politics, Rosetta, rosetta key, scorpio
Astrological Patterns for Hillary Rodham Clinton: A Natal Chart Analysis
First, let me state my position: I am neither particularly a HRC fan or detractor. I agree with her on some issues (diplomacy) and (vehemently) disagree with her on other issues (gun control). So, as much as possible, I will make this a neutral analysis and try to be fair. (AND I think I am capable of doing that.)
This is a complex chart with many patterns, something this is not true of all birth charts. We list the patterns in groups:
1. Hele patterns (multiple): Hillary tends to polarize people into strong allegiances that last over time
2. Rosetta patterns (multiple): Hillary also forms many temporary allegiances that can be characterized as treacherous at times (both for and against her)
3. Mystic Rectangle: Perhaps her defining pattern. It highlights (1) just how much Bill’s betrayal (the Lewinsky scandal) bothered her and (2) her ongoing interest in healthcare issues. The Mystic Rectangle tends to be a rather rare pattern.
4. Kites and Grand Trines (multiple): she has more “luck” than anyone can imagine. Maybe she should just play the lotto and retire. Then again, maybe American politics IS the lotto.
5. Grand Cross: it gives her the energy to do an AMAZING amount of work, but it also leads to significant conflict with others. Like the Mystic Rectangle, the Grand Cross is a relatively rare pattern.
We will show her natal chart repeatedly, but each time it will be filtered for different patterns:
First, we show the Hele patterns (when two or more are interlaced, we call this a “Hele Key”):
[Click Image to Enlarge]
These patterns emphasize her ability to (1) form long term allegiances at the price of (2) polarizing people. If you are truly her friend, she will stick by you through thick and thin. But, it can be difficult to know whether or not your are truly her friend (only she really knows), and if you betray her there will be HELL TO PAY.
Here is her natal chart filtered for the Rosetta pattern (MANY of these; arguably a “Rosetta Key”):
[Click to Enlarge]
The are short term allegiances that frequently sour and can turn to treachery. It does not mean that SHE is treacherous, but it does mean that someone takes advantage of someone eventually. She likely becomes skilled at becoming the winner in these conflicts over the course of her lifetime, especially given her other patterns (notably the Kites). I count at least FOUR of these in play. (That is, by itself, unusual.) If you interact with her, then the big question becomes this one: is this a temporary allegiance (Rosetta) or a true long term alliance (Hele)?
Mystic Rectangle: we think that of all the patterns present, this one defines her (but the Grand Cross is a close second):
[Click to Enlarge]
We note the four planets involved: (1) Sun in Scorpio (12th House); (2) Ceres in Taurus (6th House); (3) Juno in Sagittarius (2nd House); and (4) Hygeia in Cancer (8th House). Interpretations: (1) Sun in Scorpio in 12th: she is very powerful at working behind the scenes. Can she be a President and still do this? (2) Ceres in Taurus in 6th: economic woes (feast and famine); will this translate to the same pattern for the nation (BIG ups and downs!); (3) Juno in Sadge in 2nd: the Betrayed Wife of the Philandering Husband (yep, that really is who Juno is!); she was wounded by Bill far more than she will ever publicly admit; it was a BIG deal to her! (4) Hygeia in 8th: She wants healthcare as an issue, but the 8th is tricky. Maybe as a Scorpio she can pull it off. But she better be careful about trying to cut the pay of nurses again. In all fairness, I think she recognized her error and has made amends for it.
Juno in Sadge might be the most important planet for her as a person rather than a politician. She is far more of a devoted wife and mother than she will ever let the public know. This is because, as a Scorpio, she is afraid it might be seen as weakness. But that Piscean Moon cares DEEPLY for her husband and daughter. Truth be told, we will never know quite what she has gone through for them.
Hillary might can make the changes in healthcare that Obama has been trying to do if she is elected. No doubt about it, except for the diplomacy issues (Middle East et al), healthcare *IS* her priority.
Kites and Grand Trines: again, I wish I had so many of these. So do you. That’s because ALMOST NO ONE has a chart that looks like this. Kites tend to be “opportunity” and “luck.” They are amplified Grand Trines. She is almost drowning in them.
[Click to Enlarge]
I see at least three, but arguably four are present. FOUR kites in a natal chart? To speak in the vernacular: “ya gotta be kidding.” Again, she could probably just play the lotto (repeatedly) and retire. First house Jupiter confirms this. But, the way she is configured, she would never do that. That is particularly true with the Grand Cross.
Here are the Grand Trines:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
I count five (5) GT’s, and that means that FIVE Kites COULD be present. Wow! What else to say? But GT’s can make a person lazy. That would be true unless you have a T-Square or (even more powerful) a Grand Cross in the chart. She DOES have a Grand Cross (and, like the Mystic Rectangle, these are comparatively RARE):
[Click to Enlarge]
The Grand Cross is her other “defining pattern,” second only to the Mystic Cross. The Sun/Ceres opposition shows again, emphasizing the feast/famine issue in her life. But, perhaps more interesting is the Astraea / Vesta opposition. Justice opposite Tradition? That is what she has, and it shows that Social Justice is, and always has been, a core issue in her life. (I would say THE core issue, but we know from earlier that healthcare is at least as important as this one, and her family is most important of all.)
T-Squares: these are really almost superfluous after the Grand Cross, but we present them anyway to point out that she has an amazing amount of “energy”:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
Personally, I think she should recruit Al Gore to re-enter politics.
Finally, we present the chart in “Beginner” format with aspects with tightest orbs emphasized. We note the Mercury square Saturn is particularly important with her (that says she has a remarkable attention to detail and will not tolerate anyone near her being “sloppy”), Mars / Pluto conjunction near Midheaven (she could either be warlike or somehow provoke war), and finally, the Mercury / Saturn / Moon Huber Learning Triangle (an HLT3) which shows, again, that she is willing to work to “earn” her “luck.”

Summary
This is meant to be a neutral review. So, let’s be clear: if you are her enemy, chances are good she will destroy you. She can be quite merciless. And, frequently, people do not know where they stand with her. She can be confusing (Scorpio/Pisces). But, overall, she is benevolent and has good intent. More than most others, she can effect real change in the healthcare system and with regard to social justice. (Just leave our guns alone!)
It is possible she may be associated with a (big) war.
On that issue, let me say this: she is not a person to provoke a war by herself. However, the people she chooses to surround herself with, and the allegiances that she forms, may lead to a situation in which no other meaningful choice exists.
This is a very good chart, and it would be a particularly powerful chart for a politician (as she is) or a top trial attorney or <smile> maybe even a lotto player.
