Full Moon 2016-02-22 Square Key, Hele, Thor’s Hammer, and more
This is a complex Full Moon, and it will be more of a turning point for some people than others. A Hele is present (one that involves Uranus / Pluto, of the famous series of squares involving those planets since 2012). We will see a solidification of alliances that moves beyond anything we have seen before. No doubt this will particularly play out in the political area (especially Presidential politics), but we will see it elsewhere as well.
The Square Key, an interlaced pair of Huber Learning Triangles, brings us a set of important “lessons” related to the decisions today. A Yod, with Vesta at the apex, forces us to between Mars (taking action, quickly and decisively) and the North Node (a point rather than the planet, but an important one involving “karma” (Rahu/Ketu in the Vedic world) and struggling to “work through” an important issue). We also have a Thor’s Hammer (involving the Moon (of the FM) and the Uranus/Pluto pair mentioned earlier. This gives much “energy” but can lead to anger, tempers flaring, and sometimes even violence.
We have four patterns in play: (1) a Hele; (2) a Square Key; (3) a Yod; and (4) a Thor’s Hammer. This is a particularly busy Full Moon, and 2016 has a number of these.
We present the Full Moon chart, perfecting in Plano TX, filtered for the Hele:

As noted elsewhere, this day is also active regarding Outer Planets (Mars out). Some of the activity includes Hygeia, Juno, Jupiter, and Neptune. Here is a link to the chart for the similar 2014 Full Moon and the similar 2015 Full Moon.

Astrological Chart and Analysis for San Bernardino Shootings 2015-12-02

Astrological Chart and Analysis for San Bernardino Shootings 2015-12-02
We have been analyzing disasters and shootings less lately in favor of forecasts and similar analysis. Previously, we have produced a chart analysis for Adam Lanza, the West, TX Fertilizer plant explosion, the Orbital Sciences Antares Rocket explosion, the Philadelphia Amtrak wreck, the Marysville school shootings, and the Boston Marathon bombing. That said, we will provide a chart and preliminary analysis of the San Bernardino shootings on December 2, 2015. We note, also, that this attack comes only a few weeks after the massacre of 130 people in Paris by ISIS based terrorists.
Click here for our Calendar Page for Wednesday, December 2nd. The event occurred two days before perfection of Mercury square Jupiter, an amplifier of either good will or bad intent. For practical purposes, that aspect applies here. The event also occurred four days before perfection of Mars square Pluto, perhaps the most dangerous of all aspects, and, again, for practical purposes that aspect applies here. Saturn square Neptune, a very slow moving aspect that governs weeks and months, perfected for the first time (of three) on November 26th. Again, that is so close (Saturn has a 28 year orbit; Neptune a 160 year orbit), that it applies here. All of this, together, is a bit tough.
We present the chart, based on the reported time of 10:59 AM PST and filtered for T-Squares:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
We count ten squares and four oppositions in that chart. Frankly, that seems rather high. But we think that the critically important events occurred earlier in the day, during this window:

Since this is a preliminary analysis, we will hold any further commentary until more information is available. (Particularly, we would like birth information for the shooters, should that ever become available.) For an alternative analysis, posted on Astrotheme, click here. Another analysis is located here. Astrology Weekly has a discussion located here.

Mars Opposite Chiron 2015-10-23
As this aspect perfects, we see much “energy” (likely anger) regarding issues that involve healthcare or education or both. This is a repeating theme over this week and into next week, with some of the issues causing a frantic panic for some people. Friday (today) and Sunday (October 25th) are particularly busy days. We note that both a Hele and a Thor’s Hammer are in effect for these aspects, and do not repeat the filtering here.
Here is the chart for perfection of the aspect, filtered for oppositions:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
With a large cluster of planets in Virgo, and another group of planets in Pisces and Aries, we see a period of numerous oppositions and some quincunxes. We also note that this particular opposition involves, specifically, “outer planets” (generational planets) and marks another turning point in the stage that we all play upon.
Self-Worth, Values & Venus in Virgo
October 9, 2015 at 8:19 pm | Posted in 2015, Astrology | Comments Off on Self-Worth, Values & Venus in VirgoTags: 2015, 2015-10, Astrology, Virgo
Today, Mercury in Libra goes direct. It can mean many things but there is certainly a forward motion and perhaps incoming messages. Projects, thoughts, communiques that were halted are now revitalised and infused with new momentum. We have been working backstage and we are now ready to bring forth some ideas/projects/dialogues.
Because the retrograde happened in Libra, the revision or internal dialogues of the last few weeks were coloured by the Libran themes. Partnerships, fairness and equality, beauty and maybe even establishing a better rapport with what we value and need within our relationships and re-evaluating our existing love patterns.
Christina’s world by Andrew Wyeth, 1948
Venus also happened to change sign yesterday after having spent all of summer in fiery Leo. Venus in Leo is warm, exuberant and loud. When the Goddess Aphrodite finds herself in a fire sign, her expression is quite dramatic. This summer was branded with…

Focused Yod (Moon Opp Mars) 2015-09-25

Focused Yod (Moon Opp Mars) 2015-09-25
We see a focused yod covering most of the day on September 25th of 2015, starting with the Moon v/c in Aquarius and culminating with the perfection of Moon opposite Mars, Moon in Pisces and Mars in Virgo. The Virgo / Pisces theme that we have seen for most of the month of September effectively culminates here before we face the “Blood Moon” of September 27th. With that eclipse, we will more clearly move into Aries / Libra issues.
Here is the chart for Moon opposite Mars, filtered for the Focused Yod:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
Needless to say, this Focused Yod is about “getting things done” on this Friday and closing the books on certain key issues. Yesterday we had Pluto move Direct and Mercury (retrograde) square Pluto. A sense of urgency to complete certain tasks faces us now. Some things are already different with the advent of the equinox; this will only be more true next week after the eclipse.

Full Moon 2015-08-29
As far as FM’s go, this is one of the quieter ones. The past few months have been FULL of patterns, particularly Thor’s Hammer, Hele, and Rosetta patterns. To some degree, one might start to believe that they are ALWAYS with us, but that is not so. Again, this is one of the quieter FM’s, but we could easily see some action in certain areas. In particular, Jupiter / Neptune influences this FM, and some people may go “overboard.” Resist the temptation to speak hyperbole and the temptation to tilt at windmills. But, if you are a “creative,” then this can be a very, very good time for you to create music, poetry, photography, and videography (and similar arts).
This FM has a T-Square (and, yes, THOSE are common), Grand Trines (multiple overlapping, almost functioning as a single GT), and a simple uncomplicated Hele.
We present first the chart filtered for oppositions first (that is what an FM is, namely Moon opposite Sun) that shows the other oppositions in play (notably Mercury opposite South Node, meaning a tendency to “take the easy way out” instead of doing necessary hard work):
[Click Image to Enlarge]
We also see Astaea (law and justice) opposing the mid-point (combination) of Pluto (power politics and sometimes police & intelligence agencies) and Ceres (feast and famine issues, likely agents of economic control here). We would not at all be surprised to see lawsuits along these lines at this time. (i.e. Shareholder’s derivative lawsuits and similar).
Here is the FM chart filtered for the Hele, showing certain clear cut alliances at this time:
[Click to Enlarge]
We note a square between Ceres and Uranus here. This could be a fight inside Tech companies between the visionaries and engineers and creatives, on one side, and the bureaucrats and management and similar on the other side. Maybe something a bit like this scene:
Betrayal is likely to be part of the mix. Compare, also, this scene:
We also see a T-Square, giving us the energy to accomplish very specific tasks:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
And, those specific tasks are directly tied to the Hele: legal department, finance/management, and creative geniuses at war. As an aside, I am betting on the creative geniuses. (But, I am a bit biased and tend to favor them anyway.)
Finally, this chart also contains Grand Trines (opportunities):
[Click Image to Enlarge]
These GT’s are similar to the various ones that have been with us all month (or similar), and they indicate leadership opportunities.

Full Moon of March 5, 2015
February 25, 2015 at 2:23 am | Posted in 2015, 2015-Lunations, Astrology, Events, Lunations | 11 CommentsTags: 2015, 2015-03, 2015-lunations, Astrology, full moon, FullMoon, Hele, hele key, Jupiter, lunation, Lunations, pisces, Pluto, Sun, Virgo, Yod, Yods
Here is the chart for the Full Moon of March 5, 2015:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
EarthSky.org calls this a “micro-moon,” noting that it precedes an Eclipse on March 20th and a “Blood Moon” on April 4th. We start our analysis by noting that another yod is in play in this Pisces (Sun) / Virgo (Moon) FM! So, again, some KEY DECISION is in play for all of us, both collectively and individually. We also note that yods (decisions) have been prominent in the sky since last summer. Whether we realize it or not, the decisions we are making now will affect us for many years to come. Only hindsight will full reveal why this is (was) true.
A yod featured prominently the recent new moon that precedes this full moon. Also: here is the FM from March of 2014, the Aries / Libra FM of March 2013, and the equivalent Pisces / Virgo FM in February of 2013. For those of you who do not know what a full moon (FM) is, try here. As you will read there, it involves a Sun / Moon opposition, such as an Aries / Libra or (in this case) a Pisces / Virgo opposition. The Pisces / Virgo FM is the last FM of the astrological year, signifying a time of housecleaning and preparation for the new year (the Vernal Equinox or “first day of spring”).
This FM precedes an upcoming Solar Eclipse as well as the Vernal Equinox of 2015. Upcoming, also, is Uranus Square Pluto.
This FM (2015) is also characterized by two Hele, one somewhat stronger than the other, which indicate that people will polarize on two (or more) issues. (Arguably, this is what we have called a “Hele Key” in the past.) How you decide may be strongly affected by where you stand on these key issues, whatever they may be. At least we can be thankful for reduced complexity compared to the numerous patterns present in the recent Mercury Direct Station.
For better or worse, and right or wrong, we now believe we know where we stand and are ready to make a decision (if we did not do so previously) and move forward at full speed.
[Click Image to Enlarge]
The “stronger” of these two Hele contains Uranus Square Pluto. For some (many, actually), looking back to events that occurred some time near December 14, 2014 may provide insight to what is happening at the time of this full moon. February 7, 2015 may also be useful. Some may wish to look further back to late May of 2010.
Here is an alternative view of the Full Moon chart from Kepler 7.0. (The above charts were calculated with SolarFire 8.1)
[Click Image to Enlarge]
The remainder of this post focuses primarily on astrological maps. (Let us know if your region is missing and you need a map added.)
Here is a global map (also generated in Kepler):
[Click Image to Enlarge]
We also offer the Solar Maps version of the map:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
We now present the United States maps. The first is a Solar Maps map, and it shows the key lines (major aspects) in play in the United States at the time of this FM. The second is a detailed Kepler 7 map, and it shows a number of additional lines considered to be “minor aspects.”
[Click Image to Enlarge]
The key lines in the United States map are (1) a Saturn Descendant line that comes near Vancouver, Portland OR, and Las Vegas NV (and a number of other areas between them) and (2) a Hygeia line that goes through Sioux Falls SD and Memphis TN and a number of other points. We note that this second line crosses a number of other lines, and this part of the South (Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Alabama) are quite “lit up” by this FM. Additional key lines affect the region from New York City to Baltimore MD (Pluto and Ceres), and another line (Pallas) affects Boston. The region between New York and Baltimore will wrestle with certain important changes that may involve the food supply. Boston, already a notoriously “intelligent” city, will receive a boost in the form of insights. We offer the Kepler map without interpretations due to the fact that it is so detailed. We leave it as an exercise for the more motivated reader.
(Again, to be able to properly read these maps you will need to click the image to enlarge, possibly opening the image in a new tab in your browser.)
[Click Image to Enlarge]
We do note that, per the Kepler map, (1) Albuquerque NM (and the region west of Albuquerque as well as central Mexico) is HIGHLY activated in terms of minor aspects; (2) the coast of California (including San Francisco, again), is also quite activated; and (3) Northern Virginia / DC (and Western PA including PIttsburgh) is quite activated. Even though these are more “minor” lines compared to the lines in Solar Fire, they are so many of them in these regions that we can only conclude that the regions are activated. This map also confirms important activations in Memphis (and nearby St. Louis) and Mississippi as well as Southern California.
Kepler offers “Treasure Maps,” and here is the “Love and Romance” treasure map for the U.S. on this Full Moon:

So, Albuquerque (or Spokane) might be a GREAT place for a weekend getaway on this Full Moon. The same is true for central Pennsylvania, Northern Virginia, and eastern North Carolina. The shore could be fun, or you might try Hershey.

Here is the Solar Maps map (overview, no aspects) of Canada:

We offer this detail map of Canada with a caution: because of its very northern location, parts of Canada are near the poles. Since the poles are where all lines meet and merge, Canada invariably has a large number of lines.
Therefore, to look for points of activation, check for places with at least 3 or four lines near each other:

Toronto and the Great Lakes region looks interesting.

We should note, here, that Solar Maps can also provide more detailed maps. We are simply experimenting with the mapping features of both programs. (Feedback appreciated on this.) We think Moonrise in Dublin (Ireland, not Texas) will be particularly interesting. (Here is the chart, filtered to highlight aspects to the Moon.)

Here is a more detailed map of Europe (Kepler 7) for those who prefer this level of detail:
[Click Image to Enlarge]
We note a number of activations for the U.K., France and Spain at this level of detail. Additionally, eastern Greece will feel some sense of urgency (easy to determine from news reports, but this map confirms that), and both Saint Petersburg and Kiev are activated by some of these same lines. Moscow is quite activated by a number of lines as well. We present the chart for Moscow (filtered on 4th harmonic or “hard aspects” such as squares and oppositions):
[Click Image to Enlarge]
Note that the Nodes are near the Ascendant / Descendant, and Pluto is near the IC. These are challenging times for Moscow. (Again, we know this from the news reports but, again, the map and chart confirm what we already know.) With Uranus also on the 7th house cusp, we speculate that something could go “boom” in Moscow.
We have had several visitors from Kazakhstan, so we are offering a map for that region:

Autumnal Equinox, September 2014: the First Day of Fall
September 10, 2014 at 12:11 am | Posted in 2014, Astrology, Events, Lunations | 1 CommentTags: 2014, Astrology, Autumnal-Equinox, Chiron, equinox, libra, Neptune, New Moon, newmoon, pisces, Virgo
The Autumnal Equinox of 2014 occurs on September 22nd at 9:29 CDT this year (Plano, TX). (In other areas, such as the United Kingdom, it will occur on September 23rd in the early morning hours (0229 GMT)). It is followed two days later by a new moon (Libra / Aries). We will cover both in this entry.
First, the chart (set in Plano TX):
[Click to Enlarge]
We note that the Moon is very old and (predictably) near the Sun. Venus is between them and would be “besieged” if the Sun and Moon were malefics (which they are not). This places Venus on or near the mid-point of Sun and Moon and is arguably a favorable placement. Moon is slightly past an opposition to Chiron and and an earlier opposition to Neptune (both in Pisces) earlier than that.
Before we go further with our analysis, let us make clear that you should wrap up certain kinds of business (only you know the precise details) before this change in the sign of the Sun. This period is definitely about clearing out and letting go. Given the nature of the Full Moon (FM) earlier this month, this may mean fully releasing any remaining hopes of clinging to whatever path you chose to NOT follow when the time of the FM offered you a choice (or series of choices). Whatever it is that you chose NOT to do, it is GONE now. Trying to preserve it or “hang on” to it will only cause you problems and pain. CLEAR THINGS OUT.
Some of you had a “fling” earlier in September when Venus opposed Neptune (probably the weekend of September 12th). If you had a painful awakening later (Venus opposite Chiron), and that romance was ill-chosen, then CUT IT OFF. Cut your losses. Do not string that person along. And if you lost money on the romance (or venture), then do NOT think for a minute you are likely to get your money back. File the pictures you took in your scrapbook. Move forward.
If you are leaving a job at this time, start your start day for the new job AFTER the New Moon (next chart). Take a little time off to regenerate.
Looking for an alternative version of this chart? PlanetWaves.com has one located here. Another alternative is located here.
Here is the United States map. We note that Northern Nevada has an unusually high number of lines passing through it. (Looking for a place to spend the Equinox that should be transformative? Try Las Vegas or Reno (Reno is slightly stronger in this particular case) for Fall Equinox 2014! Note, though, that we said “transformative” and did not further qualify that statement as either “good” or “bad.”)

We note that Los Angeles and Southern California are affected, also, but the effect is not as strong as in Northern Nevada. With Uranus (Prometheus) on the Ascendant, we would not be surprised to see huge gains/losses at the gambling tables. (But, anything goes!)
Here is the New Moon chart (a few days later):

A few of you will ignore the the earlier recommendation that “this period is definitely about clearing out and letting go.” In that case, some of those who ignore that advice will have a “reminder,” possibly an unpleasant reminder, to clear out the old. Given the position of the Sun/Moon conjoined in the first degree of Libra, this will likely have one of two outcomes. The first will be a potential for violence. The damn will burst. (This depends on the charts of the individuals involved.) The other outcome is the extreme opposite: prolonged negotiations that seem to go nowhere resulting in “a death by a thousand blows.” You will WANT progress but be unable to attain it, stuck by the lingering garbage of the previous period. (This could be in the form of a bankruptcy, possibly for some of those gambling in Las Vegas or Reno.)
A few of you, wisely, will decide to relocate at this time.
While any given chart, or pair of charts, contains many potential “lessons,” the “lessons” of these two are clear: CLEAN HOUSE (literally and figuratively) before this time arrives.
Chances are good we will add updates between “now” (the time of the initial posting) and the time of the events. (This has become our practice in the last year or two.)
Edit: A few key aspects (and when they perfect) in this period:
Wednesday September 10th: Venus Opposite Neptune
Friday September 12th: Mercury Quincunx Chiron
Sunday September 14th: Venus Trine Pluto
Wednesday September 17th: Venus Opposite Chiron
Sunday September 21st: Venus Sextile Saturn; Mars Square Neptune
Monday September 22nd Pluto Direct Station (within two hours of Equinox)
Tuesday September 23rd: Jupiter Quincunx Chiron! (About eight hours prior to the New Moon)
Thursday September 25th: Jupiter Trine Uranus
This is an active and complex time. The Mercury / Jupiter / Chiron quincunxes indicate yet another “fork in the road.” Venus is in a number of aspects, and this emphasizes in a general way an examination of values.
More specific situations may emerge: careers in the arts may be launched or reach turning points during this period. Great works of art may be produced. (See, also, our entry about The Quintile Kite of October 9th 2014.) If you have any interest in art, if you have thought about the possibility of being a professional artist, this will be your chance to “jump ship” and take on that challenge.)
Children born during this period will tend to see alternative viewpoints; they may have a tendency to break with tradition because they tend to embrace multiple perspectives. They will face a bit of a curse in that they are never quite satisfied. (But, this may drive them to produce great accomplishments!)
Jude Cowell, over at Stars Over Washington, has an interesting analysis of the equinox.

Full Moon of September of 2014
August 31, 2014 at 1:47 am | Posted in Uncategorized | 24 CommentsTags: Astrology, Double Yod Key, full moon, FullMoon, pisces, Virgo
Here is the Full Moon chart for September of 2014, set in Plano, TX:
[Click to Enlarge]
We note that this particular Full Moon is preceded by a Double Yod Key that occupies most of the day. (Compare this to the Double Yod Keys of Spring 2013. What decisions did you make at that time? You may revisit them now and again on November 8th.) To be sure, this is another punctuation mark indicating that this is a period of decision-making, of “forks in the road.”
The ongoing Jupiter / Neptune / Pluto yod is one part of the DYK, the other involves Moon / Mercury / Jupiter. Mercury square Pluto (harsh words, arguments, fights, and at least wounded feelings) is part of the picture. We are living in “interesting times.”
But [in response to XCD’s request, below], what does this mean? Well, the key is to remember that any given Yod is a “fork in the road,” a place where we are faced with a decision and dissatisfied with the alternatives. Here we have an two interconnected, or interlaced, “forks in the road” (yods) that are connected by Mercury Square Pluto (harsh words and possibly violence).
A MINIMUM of two major decisions will face us as individuals and small groups, and we will see a similar set of decisions on a global scale. (Why? Astrology is recursive and arguably “fractal” in nature: “As above, so below” means that the pattern in the sky is reflected in multiple levels of human affairs.) Since “triple yod keys” and so forth are rare (or maybe impossible), the two interlaced yods are a symbol for “multiple” (i.e. two or MORE) decisions. Expect at least two on this full moon.

Per Caroline’s request, here is the map for Europe and the UK:
And here is the chart, relocated to London:
We see Pluto at Midheaven and South Node in the 12th house (having risen about half an hour before culmination). The Jupiter / Pluto quincunx is in full force, just past perfection on the Friday before (the time these notes are being written). This is a time of excess and could be a time of serious danger and risk in London / UK. Personally, I would stay home. To quote a line from the movie “The Crow,” “…bad people out on the street tonight.”
Compare, also, the interlocking Double Yod Keys on November 8th described earlier.

The time after this full moon, and until the Vernal Equinox on March 20th, is the most powerful time this year for cleaning out the old. Whatever needs to go to make way for the new, this is the time to send it to its new home wherever that may be. This is a very dynamic year with powerful transformations in play, and you do not want to be stuck with the old. So, whatever it is, clear it out and make way for that which is yet to come.

This is an interesting full moon for those that celebrate the changing of the seasons. It occurs just a very few days before the equinox.

December 16 & 17, 2008 Windows of Possibilities
December 14, 2008 at 11:22 pm | Posted in Astrology, Predictions | Comments Off on December 16 & 17, 2008 Windows of PossibilitiesTags: Leo, Mars, Mercury, Moon, opportunity, Pluto, Sun, Virgo
Monday is so awful that I thought I’d better write the forecasts for Tuesday & Wednesday now instead of waiting for Monday to do that.
That said, Tuesday offers a superb window of opportunity for most signs but especially fire signs (Aries, Leo, & Sadge). The Air signs (Libra, Aquarius, & Gemini) can cash in on this to a lesser degree. The period starts with a Mars trine about 2pm EST and ends a little after 730pm EST. Obviously, if you are in the UK this is a nice evening to be had.
Salesmen are especially strong on this day, but buyers are ultimately favored. If you aren’t a “fast talker,” then watch out for them. But, do know that you can still come out ahead in a purchase because buyers are favored.
Earth and Water signs get a shot, too, but not until Wednesday. The beneficial period for Earth (Capricorn, Taurus, & Virgo) and (to a lesser degree) Water (Cancer, Scorpio, & Pisces) starts about 5am EST and ends in the early evening.
These reprieves from Monday end on Thursday, when the events of Monday come to revisit us.
Godspeed.
December 15, 2008 A Day of Profound Power Struggles
December 14, 2008 at 1:35 pm | Posted in Astrology, BadDays, Predictions | Comments Off on December 15, 2008 A Day of Profound Power StrugglesTags: mars pluto inconjunct, Sagittarius, square, Virgo
Just when you might have thought that whatever happened Friday was “over and done with,” you’ll find it isn’t.
This day is characterized by more inconjuncts, but they don’t offer you the choice that you had on Sunday. These are merely disconcerting and annoying. You might even feel that you have things resolved, but you don’t.
This is a day when tempers can flare. Certain strong personalities may be seem to offer a permanent resolution, but they will fall to the side after a comparatively brief tenure.
If you think it is resolved by today, then by Thursday you’ll be forced to revisit it. You MIGHT can get a solution on Thursday. Maybe
December 1, 2008 Last Chance Lotto Ticket

Hopefully you were able to benefit from the magnificent energy of the past few days. Windows this benevolent are rare. My tendency, later, is to want a “do-over.” Of course, we do not ever really get a “do-over.” But, sometimes, we can change the path we are upon.
If you are in the UK, you still have a window of opportunity. But, here in the U.S., the moon becomes void about between 1030 and 11 am EST. A particularly powerful LAST CHANCE occurs between “about” 10am and 1030am. But, by 11am, kiss it goodbye if you haven’t taken action upon it and (ideally) completed it. If it must be mailed, mail it by 1030am.
The “message in the bottle” must be launched by that time.
By 11am, we have entered the contemplative period of a void. If you are smart, then you can harness this energy too. Remember, this is a good time to clean up and clean out. Oddly, sometimes lost objects turn up in a void, or just thereafter. Tuesday looks good, too, just not nearly as good as this final window. But, by Wednesday, “things” start to become “odd” again.
Earth Kite of June 28th of 2008
June 27, 2008 at 5:19 pm | Posted in Predictions, Weekends | Comments Off on Earth Kite of June 28th of 2008Tags: Capricorn, earth, Kite, Virgo
Saturday will provide an energy for Earth & Water signs similar to that for Fire & Air on Friday. The “lessons” are a little different, though, because Fire & Air (Friday) were learning to deal with anger & aggression through the healing power of faith & hope.
If you kept your cool on Friday (difficult here in Dallas, and worse in Phoenix), then you likely had a good day. The same is true for Saturday, but you’ll encounter a “surprise,” possibly in the form of some secret (maybe yours, maybe someone else’s) being revealed.
My take on it: unless you must catch up from Friday (probably Capricorn or Virgo), this is a good day to go play. Please do, and be careful out there.
Astrology of Memorial Day Weekend, May, 2008: Retrogrades!
May 20, 2008 at 6:10 pm | Posted in Holidays, Retrogrades | Comments Off on Astrology of Memorial Day Weekend, May, 2008: Retrogrades!Tags: Aquarius, Chiron, Gemini, Mercury, Pluto, Saturn, Venus, Virgo
Just in case you haven’t taken the time to notice, we will have a stack of retrogrades on Memorial Day Weekend. On Friday, Mercury in Gemini trines Chiron in Aquarius. Mercury should be strong in Gemini (its home, of course), but it is moving slowly (especially bad for Mercury) and about to turn Retrograde.
Chiron is about to turn retrograde, too. Conversations started Friday may lead into painful areas that are in need of healing, but anything started Friday will “open a can of worms.” Whether or not this is “good” or “bad” depends on your situation. To be sure, it won’t be resolved on Friday, and it may not be resolved for some time. I’d vote at least three weeks before anything that resembles a “full resolution,” and, for some, resolution won’t come until after Chiron turns direct circa October 26th of this year.
Neptune ALSO turns retrograde, Venus (values) enters Gemini (conversations), Venus inconjuncts Pluto (false hopes about power struggles), and Venus squares Saturn (authority). For the financial sector, the inconjunct with Pluto could signal false hopes about the effectiveness of tax rebates, and square Saturn could mean ACTUAL assets and debts discussed (Gemini) being at odds with the authority figures providing accounting (Virgo).
Any peace talks started now may take much longer to work out than expected, but have the possibility of “standing the test of time” once established.
Back to the personal level:
Unless you are really ready to deal with some big issue, and deal with it in a thorough way that might take months, be careful what you say this weekend.
