Speaking of soldiers/military and accidents like this one where where Seven Marines Killed, Others Injured, in Blast at Nevada Training Site on 3-18 shortly before 10:00 PM
A chart set for 9:58 PM on March 18th. for Hathworne, NV. has Scorpio rising with Saturn (serious extreme) and N. Node of destiny in the first house associated with Aries and abilities, action, explosions but the real culprit is Mars is in the 5th.

The fifth house associated is also with fire, fireworks as is Uranus - the Shocker. Chart below also shows a growing Grand Water Trine consisting of Saturn, the Karmic Teacher in the first house @ 11 degrees Scorpio (a sign relating to death). Next 10 degree angle goes To Chiron (wounds) - Mercury(mindset) -Neptune(dreams-miracles) All Direct in Pisces (mourning) the 4th house

and pointing at the Moon in early Cancer in the 8th house of death, premonitions and transformations

As I said: Emergency situations are appearing everywhere the form of accidents, fires and bank runs among other things. All this is happening more frequently as we move closer to the next Uranus-Pluto waxing square on May 20th. One of those ongoing situations is happening in the Cypriot part of the Eurozone This has been a $$ A Major stunner getting worldwide attenion, one that can spread, Updates: March 19th - Here we go the panic button has been pushed regarding the Eurozone
per Mars-Uranus TSQ the Moon and Pluto and Pluto is about both debt and power:

Earlier today (March 19th) Cyprus Finance Minister Resigns, President Refuses To Accept Resignation and a reflection of sentiment from news out of NZ National planning Cyprus-style solution for New Zealand Panic started with with early withdrawls in Cyprus: Again the result of the Mercury-Jupiter square and the Uranus-Pluto tumultous waxing square. (I will have more about Cyprus and when they joined the EU on May 1, 2004 when Capricorn was rising @ 10 degrees opposing Saturn in the 7th in Cancer and Mars-Venus in Gemini - currently all these points in the 2004 chart are activated. Chart Below for May 1, 2004 @ 12:00 AM in Nicosia, Cyprus. With Capricorn rising Saturn is the ruler and in Cancer deals with serious threat to families. Prominently the Sun-N. Node in Taurus in the May 1st 2004 chart is now closely opposed by Saturn in Scorpio representing debt and accountability. Also even more telling transiting Jupiter near Aldebaran is closely TSQ Jupiter in Virgo opposing Uranus/Vesta in Pisces. This TSQ involves banking panics and more volatility with Jupiter representing banking. Since Jupiter stationed direct back on January 30th and gave a boost to the stock market he has been moving closer to fixed star Aldebaran - a pale rose star marking the right eye of the Bull in the constellation Taurus Update on the Cypriot banking holiday: Cyprus banks will stay closed until Thursday In fact on Monday Night when I wrote this, "we are on the cusp of seeing a lit fuse blazing toward detonation - first with the First Qtr. Waxing Moon on March 19th @ 10:27 AM PDT with the Gemini Moon @ 29 degrees 16 minutes square the Sun also @ 29 degrees 16 minutes but of Pisces. The 29th degree the Anaretic Degree or Karmic Degree with the moon can encourage people to open up and communicate in a more instinctual way. With the Sun the focus will be on identity or should say shapeshifting with Pisces? The Moon then enters her home sign cardinal, Cancer @ 11:55 AM to set off the on going Mars(Warrior's impulse) Aries journey to meet Uranus (the wild and unexpected guy).

Then we head into March 20th with the Aries ingress early am 4;02 AM on the West Coast - Quake/Volcano/Tsunami are all possible from here on out. I will quickly examine a chart set for March 20th the Spring Equinox for the N. Hemisphere but in Seattle: Other astrologers are predicting an Major Earthquake here or closer to sub-duction zone off shore., I say either that or a volcano on the West Coast! From the guys over at Extinction Protocol - planet is currently reeling from a spasm of quakes, seismic stress could be building to a larger event.
Notice first that Pluto is rising on the Ascendant in Capricorn with Pluto sitting near the first house and opposing the Moon in the 7th TSQ Mars-Uranus in Aries in the 3rd we might think in terms of the controller Pluto being rebuffed and a dangerous situation since Saturn the ruler of this chart is at Mid-Heaven near N Node in Scorpio.

Now for the Southern Hemisphere also - Volcano Watch white Island Actually when we look at the Southern Hemisphere say Auckland, NZ where the Sun enters Aries on March 21st @ 12:02 AM LMT Sagittarius is rising opposing Ceres near the 7th house of open enemies. It is about fire and expansion. The impulsive Aries fire grouping sits in the 4th. or Ground Zero ready to erupt. Jupiter ruler of the chart is posited to expand everything relating to Gemini, the mutable air sign and in the 6th. house Since the 6th house not only dealing with law enforcement and labor but also health and illness...On the ninth house cusp is Leo the other fire sign in sympathy with Sagittarius rising and the nine house of wide open spaces, of prophecies and expolorations . But wait what about Volcanic Watch? On White Island where Volcanic Tremor Increases Sharply! After showing a very slow and gradual increase during the past days, tremor has jumped to some of the highest levels recorded since increased unrest and minor explosive activity has started last August.

Looking ahead toward March 22nd with Mars conjunct Uranus @ 11:17 AM on Passover March 26th with Mars SQ Pluto which could mean False Flag Takeover or even attack from Israel? Then from March 28th to March 31st (Easter) a potential weather disaster, miracle or chaos or False ET landing
or something even more wild. Most importantly there will be new leaders installed and newer more innovative ways at addressing any crisis. Stay prepared and hopeful.

White Smoke is Seen for Pope Francis

2013-03-14T00:32:00.000-07:00

CURRENT MOON

moon phase

March 13th. back to "pseudo-reality" and the Papal Conclave where A New Pope Has been Chosen!
Where there is white smoke there is fire with Mars and Uranus in Aries along with shockers.

White Smoke is Seen White smoke appeared from the chimney above the Sistine Chapel Wednesday, and bells from St. Peter's Basilica have pealed, meaning the 115 Roman Catholic cardinals gathered at the Vatican from all over the world have chosen a new pope. Thousands of Catholics gathered under umbrellas outside St. Peter's Basilica, eagerly waiting for the church's 266th pontiff to emerge and greet the faithful from the balcony. A chart set for 7:06 PM LMT in Vatican City has Libra rising at 5 degrees Sabian Symbol: "a man teaching the true inner knowledge." While Mars-Uranus in Aries are opposing from the 7th. The conjunction of Mars-Uranus in Aries relates to new leaders being chosen, unexpected actions, along with bold initiatives and breakthroughs to come. Also ruler of the chart Venus between Chiron and the Sun in the sixth house dealing with service to the sick, injured and down-trodden. This pick by the Cardinals was a shocker as the the conclave cardinals picked Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio considered a humble man. There was much speculation as to the identity of the new pope. In fact with only 19 of the 117 cardinal-electors being from Latin America, there were doubts that from the media and other sources that a pope from Latin America would be the most papabili. Of course South America which has the world's largest Catholic population sorely needs more representation. Who will it be?
Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Argentina((born December 17, 1936)), the first Jesuit is chosen
Pope. He is unusual pick known for being a humble man. A NEW DAY FOR THE CHURCH?
Jesuits and are also known colloquially as "God's Marines", due to their willingness to accept orders anywhere in the world and live in extreme conditions... The chart below is set for Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio On December 17, 1936 using noon birth in Buenos Aires. He is a man of simplicity and pastoral humility with Jupiter the ruler of his optimistic and benefic Sun-N Node in Sagittarius. Since he has Jupiter-Ceres and Mercury all in unassuming Capricorn there is also an expansion of his social vision involving helping his flock with basic needs. The Capricorn combo also can make for a traditional and conservative approach at times. Still he is willing to defend the helpless against the injustices of the world with Mars in Libra. In fact ‘He is a real voice for the voiceless and vulnerable,’’ said Kim Daniels, director of Catholic Voices USA, a pro-church group. Our new Pope is also willing to take some major risks with forceful Thors Hammer involving Neptune in Virgo, Uranus in Taurus and Pallas in Sagittarius. Pallas the asteroid goddess of wisdom and strategy in Sagittarius is about a larger vision, spiritual knowledge along with being a defender of the truth. With Pallas and Neptune in a square relates to powerful transcendent urge, intuitive abilities, psychic influences, blind faith, possible delusions and even a dissolution of his belief system . Consider too that he is Venus and the Moon in Aquarius and idealistic yet radical placement. Both planets are in a sesqui-quadrate aspect (135 degrees) to Uranus
relating to humanitarian and erratic thinking along with rebellious/revolutionary ideas. Not only does Pope Francis the First have the above natal combinations, but also a powerful Grand Cross in mutable signs
with Saturn opposing Neptune (where boundaries of all kinds can dissolve)
With Saturn-Neptune relating to the bitter enemies due to his tendency to dissolve old patterns and structures within the church
He may not live for more than a couple of years...
crossed by Chiron opposing Pallas/N Node (where real wounds may prevent him from succeeding in office) So you would think that this would put an end to the darker conspiracies about Petrus Romanus and the last pope. With the selection of Jorge, you may have thought that St. Malachy's prophecies of the pope would have ended. As you will see with the video below things are carried down a danker rabbit hole. Noting that in Italian, San Francesco d’Assisi, baptized Giovanni, renamed Francesco, original name Francesco di Pietro di Bernardone. In fact this idea reflects the insanity and paranoia present with the current transits in Pisces and the last new moon - Even to the point of pointing out that he is first Jesuit and Jesuits are supposedly considered the Black Pope?! Come on give it a rest..

The Pisces New Moon : the Artist , the Spiritual Law Givers and the Courage to Make it Happen.

2013-03-10T22:30:00.004-07:00

CURRENT MOON

moon phase

On the surface the New Moon in Pisces may seem like a confusing mixture of elements dominated by water and mutability but like the sign there is merging of inter connectedness. Some of these disparate elements involve polarization of thought, views, lies, disinformation per Mercury SQ Jupiter besides seeming exposure of manipulations and on the positive side a huge boost to artistic creative efforts of all kinds. Perhaps the image of a boiling surf (per the photo below taken by Scott Meade best describes
the volatility of this time period.

With all these Piscean planets,, Sun-Moon, ruler Neptune adding mystery , 12th house where secret enemies lie hidden and Saturn now retrograde in Scorpio adds to the sense danger and treachery everywhere particularly involving leaders.. Note that in the chart below Neptune is conjunct Fomalhaut, a reddish star in the mouth of the Southern Fish, Piscis Austrinus (not to be confused with the constellation Pisces). Fomalhaut is often connected to the artist or idealist appropriate for this lunation. Fomalhaut is one of the four Royal Stars known as the watcher of the South and assigned to archangel, Gabriel. Fomalhaut is star connected to magic, seeking expression in art and poetry, reveling in idealism but contains a nemesis which can create undoing and fall from grace. That nemesis involves being seduced by charisma within or from others. With Neptune, Fomalhaut can be practiced in the art of deception along with an inspired artist. Robson gives this warning with Fomalhaut and Neptune together involving: " self-seeking, analytical, detective ability, many secret enemies, connected with secret affairs or government work, occult interests, somewhat dishonest, influential friends.." At chart below is set for 3:51 PM in Washington, DC

Leo is rising at 13 degrees making the Sun ruler of the chart and posited in the 8th house. The 8th house is about the debt owed to the nation, taxes, interest rates, suicides, multinational companies and also secret societies. The ascendant is in close square to Saturn in Scorpio in the 4th house. The 4th house reflects nationalism, underground water, difficult weather conditions, the party not in power and to some extent the folk soul of the nation. The Sun in the 8th is joined not only the Moon, Venus and Chiron but also Mars in the last degrees of Pisces ready to move into aggressive Aries. Mars is also conjunct fixed star Scheat a yellow star on the leg of the Winged Horse, Pegasus. Scheat is about the love of intellect and search for truth and with Mars reflects military strength and confidence. (Standing up to North Korea is likely scenario). Consider that with the last Mercury-Jupiter square on March 9th. that North Korea cut off the hotline to South Korea as it escalated it's war of words with Seoul and Washington, DC. Per Robson, Scheat with Mars can mean multiple accidents, sickness to native and their relatives. Scheat also is known to precess floods or other weather catastrophes.

Mars which is moving into the sign of everything new, brings courage in spades to the Artist, the self-less and sacrificing ideals of Pisces. Aries is the ruling sign for warrior where explosive forces are felt. In fact Mars is leading the Sun which on March 20th marks the advent of Spring and an entrance into Aries.

This Pisces Lunar Event has highly artistic and symbolic overtones reflecting the waves cresting and breaking with the Pisces New MOON. Pisces by far represents the image of the artist and musician who is hearing a muse from another dimension. Tomorrow's New Moon allows us all to able to create art in some way or another. Afterall, "The word art is derived from the Latin "ars", which, although literally defined means, "skill method" or "technique", holds a connotation of beauty." This Pisces New Moon also imbued with the skill from the opposite sign Virgo which always perfects and hones technique. There is also a sense of melodrama and romanticism present.

As I said in my March 2013 Forecast about this New Moon and the subsequent shift of Mars into Aries.
By the time the dissolving and psychic Pisces Moon moves VOC @ 12:51 PM. , it might seem like a tidal wave of emotions and power has passed over us. This is a prophetic and visionary New Moon that precedes the electric Spring Equinox on March 20th. Remember that with so much Piscean energy there is a blending and merging of identities, personalities, events and ideas which demonstrate how we are all connected. The Moon and Sun are co-joined @ 22 degrees Pisces marking a time when the sacred, divine can be brought down to earth or within. "A man bringing down the new law from Sinai." This image has direct correspondence to Moses or a prophet bringing down the tablets to be made manifest in our daily lives. In other words a New Moon when visions can be received. Also The Heliacal Rising star is again Deneb Algedi, the judicial point of the goat so seeking to uphold laws both spiritual and material are in focus. The courts of the land will have some major rulings worldwide. Parallel to this is a powerful Yod or Finger of God between Jupiter (law giver) and Pluto and Saturn. Both Pluto-Saturn are sextile and mutual reception where Saturn adds structure and Pluto transformation along the gift of endurance and persistence and are quincunx to Jupiter. Everything and everyone will heat up as Mars enters Aries @ 11:26 PM. Now the brave Warrior shifts from passive-aggressive Pisces into masculine, ultra confrontational Aries. Mars will stay in a dignified position in Aries till April 20th.

Yes there are multiple dangers on the horizon around the fiery and highly combustible transition of Mars intoAries on March 11/12th. Like all signs of the zodiac and planetary configurations there are polarities. The courage to define and defend what and who we want on the planet is major advantage with this transit. With Mars moving into a cardinal sign and Venus following March 21st the immense power of the Uranus-Pluto square will activated. One of the areas of Uranus-Pluto upheaval and turmoil is within the earth. Even though the alternative media and blogs have been talking about the ongoing situation in Assumption Parish for over 8 months. It is this New Moon directly relating to oil, gas, hidden caverns and a sinkholes which is making this national news. In fact world of OZ the Great and Powerful is about to get a HUGE WAKEUP CALL! Environmental activist Erin Brockovich told a group of Bayou Corne residents on Saturday "For those of you who are there, I want you to really consider your safety and why you're there," she said.

If there was ever a time when we need heroes with spiritual bravery and pioneering efforts it is after this New Moon. Mars in Aries can help us conquer our fears and help bring renewal on many levels to this planet if used with patience. The next two weeks moving toward perhaps the most important Full Moon of the Year on March 27th. will determine our futures regarding accepting peace vs. war. In other words, since we are all interconnected per the Pisces transitions, the time
to get in tune with renewal vs. destruction is here now!

Mercury in Pisces Square Jupiter in Gemini 3 times Feb./March 2013

2013-03-10T13:14:00.000-07:00

With the Mercury retrograde cycle in Pisces hit a mid-point Wednesday - March 6th. there was a shift even though this particular cycle of the cosmic messenger started on Feb. 23rd. won't end till St. Patrick's day 3-17-2013.

This shift deals with a type of amorphous collapse which occurs when the mid-point of any Mercury retrograde cycle (Merc. retrogrades occur regularly about three per year). At the mid-point systems in the matrix start falling apart like the story about the RBS Crash

There is also a beneficial change with this 90 degree angle, where involves shifting sentiment (Pisces) and words/ideas (Mercury)
So as the movement to embrace food's health-giving propaerties as a medicine progresses expect some positive transformations.

Review: Jupiter is the ancient ruler of Pisces. And Jupiter corresponds to the expansion of multiple things besides banking, from ethics to education to courts of law to verdicts to air travel to sports to ideas to publishing etc. Since Mercury entered Pisces on Feb. 5th., Mercury the planet relating to the weather, our minds, intellect and the distribution of information
Mercury in Pisces can be highly emotional even leading to panic and hysteria. Mercury makes 3 major squares to Jupiter Mercury made it's first SQ to Jupiter on Feb. 9th., moved into retrograde motion on Feb. 23rd. and squared Jupiter again on March 4th. and will move direct on March 17th to make the final square to Jupiter on March 29th.
Today's Square is particularly potent with the Moon in Aquarius an in a Balsamic, Visionary Phase of transition and preparation for epic transformation preceding the New Moon on March 11th. . . This Mercury-Jupiter also accounts for accidents like the two: Planes collide on tarmac at JFK
The collision took place just after Air India Flight 102 landed at 6:19 a.m. Saturday as it taxied to the gate. The chart below is set for 6:19 AM, the time of the collision and Pisces is rising with Mercury-Chiron-Sun-Venus
Rulers of the chart, Jupiter (in the 3rd house) and Neptune (in the 12th) relate to confusion and communications error Sagittarius, the sign most connected to air travel is at Mid-Heaven Besides the collision at JFK, there were other accidents involving aviation Saturday: like the one on the West Coast in Washington. One dead, one hurt when plane crashes into Woodinville home One person died and another was hurt when a Maule M-5 crashed into a house in the 23000 block of NE 144th St. in Woodinville on Saturday
afternoon.

Environmental Effects of Geo-Engineering per Mercury-Jupiter SQ So Pisces the last sign of the Zodiac deals with the oceans of the world, methane gases and the larger collective of humanity Also Jupiter now direct in Gemini relates to the air we breathe and the atmosphere
Jupiter in Gemini relates not just to the rise of the drones but to Geo-Engineering which is causing an extinction level event
compared to the Permian extinction event, when 96% of all marine species became extinct 251 million years ago.

The Lion Strikes with Serpent Power

2013-03-10T12:46:00.000-07:00

CURRENT MOON

moon phase

Pisces is a time of mourning, grief but also of opening a window to the super-natural symbolism
all around us. I am referring to the symbolism of the 8th Tarot Card Strength or Force which the Qabalistshave assigned the Hebrew letter Teth. Teth means snake and represents serpent-power which is appropriate for this 2013 year of the Water Snake. This energy which has been described as "cosmic electricity" or kundalini also has a mode of consciousness. The mode of consciousness attributed to Teth is "Intelligence of the Secret of all Spiritual Activities." Suffice to say when we try to "open the mouth" of the symbolic Lion, a fixed sign, King of the Beasts and one of the 4 holy creatures we are connecting with sub-consciousness which is at all times in control of every sub-human manifestation of cosmic energy. Note too that the Helical Setting Star, Regulus or the Heart of the Lion was present in the last new moon on Feb. 25th This type of control starts with self-conscious control, something that Donna Hanson was unable to do on March 6, 2013.

The sad tale of Donna Hanson's swift and untimely death from the swipe of a lion's paw has made national news. The story carried by AP and all major news outlets like SF Gate says she was killed by the lion while she was cleaning his enclosure. They also show the same picture below of Cous Cous, a a 4-year-old male African lion. Cous Cous was not an ordinary lion, in fact he was a Barbary lion (Panthera leo leo), per Wikipedia: also known as the Atlas lion which is subspecies of lion that became extinct in the wild in the 20th century. Its former habitat range was in North Africa
encompassing the region from Morocco to Egypt and last known Barbary lion was shot and killed in Morocco in 1922.
.

Specifically the AP article places the time of the attack on Dianna Hanson, 24, at around 12:30 p.m. while she was in the lion's enclosure at Project Survival's Cat Haven in Dunlap, about 45 miles east of Fresno, authorities said. Donna who was a protector of big cats per another article published today started started a six-month internship at the sanctuary Jan. 2. By the next day, she was familiar with every cat on the property and introduced her father to Cous Cous. The article goes on to quote her father again "She was disappointed because the owners told her she couldn't get in the cages with the big cats,"

Below is a chart set for March 6th @ 12:30 PM PST in Dunlap, California. Cancer was rising @ 11 degrees reflecting the nature of this sanctuary and of the protective nature of Donna. The Sabian Symbol for this rising degree: "A clown making grimaces." The ruler of the chart, the Moon which was conjunct Pluto @ 12 degrees Capricorn opposed the sensitive ascendant and represented the tooth and claw of nature's subhuman strength. The Sabian Symbol for 12 degrees Capricorn: "A student of nature lecturing. " Mars, the planet associated with this attack was at the Mid-Heaven and Void of Course in Pisces when accidents can occur. When Mars is VOC it is at time when individual actions stimulate progressive movement, or panic and risks are taken. Mars in the chart below is also in a dangerous 90 degree angle to Ceres (the nurturer), in a sesquiquadrate (135 degree angle) to Saturn creating agitation and contra-parallel Uranus reflecting sudden violence .

A Virgo Moon Rises Immersed in Dreams and Hunger- Feb. 25, 2013

moon phase

I started writing about this Full Moon a couple weeks ago and then caught a glimpse of the moon rising tonight. It was then that I realized no matter how many astrological correlations, symbols or new spin you put on it this Full Snow Moon it a portal to a the other worlds. Transfixed is the best to describe the effect this moon will has on people . I will go into more detail below yet this lunar goddess seems to inspire a hunger for the spiritual and metaphysical worlds of the unseen and etheric...
.

Monday, February 25th. was a day of dreams floating thru our conscious minds, whether they were derived from angels or Oscar winners. We had may have been overwhelmed by waves of high energy and dimensional shifts on the planet. A day when all things watery, oils and oceans of fantasies continue to immerse . Much of the tidal ebbs and flows began on Feb. 18th, the day the Sun entered Pisces. Pisces the sign of the victim/savior. These Piscean bodies are a perfect foil for Virgo, the thorough Virgin. The planet elevating Full Moon occurred @ 12:26 PM PST or 8:26 PM UT.

The Moon is full @ 8 degrees Virgo - Sabian Symbol - a girl takes her first dancing instructions. This is a symbol of not just learning dance an attribute of pisces but the idea of acquiring new psychic skills taking us beyond imagination. Yes also waking up to service. Unlike the late summer when the living is easy and the harvest is abundant, we are at a time Native Americans dubbed the Full Snow Moon. A time when hunting and gathering is difficult. Since the last New Moon in Aquarius on Feb. 10th the extreme cold weather has continued spawning storms and blizzards.
The other name the Indians had for the Full Moon in February was the Full Hunger Moon. As I said it is not just the visceral hunger generated but that of the need to connect to the stars within and without.

Fixed Stars on the Virgo Moon No matter if we are in Hollywood or Washington, DC or even London, the Heliacal Rising star is Deneb Algedi and the Heliacal Setting Star Regulus. First Deneb Algedi a star in the Sea Goat's tail. This star is called the "Judicial Point of the Goat" per Robson. This known as the law-giver, justice-oriented and practicing the laws of the land and along with the metaphysical laws. Deneb Algedi connects to both dignity and authority along with Saturn by way of Capricorn. This is a star which inspires solutions and inventions to make life easier. Second the Royal Star Regulus is setting - "A strong belief in the correctness of one's position, or path." Regulus is known as the Lion's Heart or Cor Leonis and one of the Four Guardians of Heaven. Raphael The Healing Archangel corresponds with Regulus and is known as Watcher of the North. Regulus can bring success, honor and wealth if revenge is not sought. When setting Regulus can be subject to rumors and envy from those that try to discredit natural and divine abilities .

A Chart Below set for Washington DC has Leo rising relating to how "The Academy Awards suddenly turned into the Michelle Obama Oscars" or the fact that Venus in surprising Aquarius was opposing the Royal Leo Moon last night.

OK this Full Moon has Leo rising meaning that the ruler is the Sun posited in the 8th house dealing with taxes, the debt owed to the nation, interest rates and foreign investment. Since Chiron, Mars and Mercury are there too opposing the Moon in the 2nd house The second house is about banks/financial institutions, investments, national wealth and the debt owed by the nation to others. This headline reflects this While Sequester Looms, Congress Eyes Next Fiscal Deadline The word sequester derives from the Latin sequestrare, to set aside or surrender, a late use, is derived from sequester, a depositary or trustee. Taking us back to the Heliacal Rising Star,"Judicial Point of the Goat" since the word sequester was a term of used in Roman jurisprudence.

.

Virgo represents the Virgin, the Virgin of Guadalupe, the Virgin Mary and the divine feminine relating directly to Mater (the latin term for mother) thus the material harvest, all matter and birthing Christ/Spirit. Yes Virgo opposes a host of Piscean planets in many ways representing transcendence of this mortal coil. Both signs Virgo and Pisces are feminine, mutable and can shape shift when needed.

Since Virgo as an archetype which symbolizes discernment and devotion, I suggest that if you want to see a major shift on this planet, you start praying. You may want to even send prayers to the Divine Mother. Be aware that this particular lunation relates directly to facing the duality of spirit (Pisces) and materialism (Virgo) in fact this is a time of a huge evolutionary shifts for humanity. Even before the Full Moon began their the Moon opposed Neptune @ 4:22 AM adding a foggy uncertain nature. Like the fluidity of water signs especially Pisces boundaries are ill-defined, merging and dissolving. At the time of this Full Moon - the Virgo Moon will Square Jupiter in Gemini (@ 12:35 PM) With Jupiter in Gemini - information is multiplied as are rumors, hoaxes and scandals. always a time when the powers of discernment are necessary since feelings may be misleading. To magnify all of this the Sun in Pisces squares the principle of Expansion, Jupiter in Gemini @ 2:26 PM and TSQ Virgo allowing us to use our analytical ability. Sun-Jupiter squares signal a time of over confidence, irrational enthusiasm and self assurance in the realm of leadership. An attitude of pomposity and imagined greatness could appear along with fraud and con games. Adding to the realms of illusion and romantic dreams, Venus enters more artistic and romantic Pisces @ 6:03 PM (Venus remains in sensitive and nostaglic Pisces till March 21st. ) This could be a good time to relive or redo Valentines Day with a dreamy dinner date out on the town. As the evening continues the Virgo Moon then trines Pluto @ 7:05 PM when letting go of preconceived notions allows us to enjoy. This is also a time when we may be motivated to dig deeper and investigate surface appearances. Finally this Big Full Moon evening ends with the Virgo Moon in a positive sextile Saturn in Scorpio @ 7:51 PM By now we may be more thoughtful and contemplative adding to intimacy along with sensitive conversations and diplomacy.

Pope Benedict XVI announces resignations amid prophecy and speculations

2013-02-12T20:42:00.001-08:00

CURRENT MOON

moon phase

The religious shocker on Feb. 11th. that got everyone's attention! The pope's decision, which he announced in Latin one day after the unpredictable Aquarian New Moon. Pope Benedict XVI (born April 16, 1927) with his Natal Uranus at critical 0 degrees Aries intercepted in his first house. This the oldest pope at 78 years old to be elected made his announcement during a meeting of Vatican cardinals. Yes he is the first pontiff to resign in nearly 600 years. It was perhaps the most shocking moment of his nearly eight years as leader of the world's roughly 1 billion Catholics Pope Benedict XVI announces resignation

He is the first pope to resign in 600 years.
The last pope to resign was Gregory XII in the 15th century.
And with the Pisces Stellium relating to prophecy and the Uranus-Pluto waxing squares to historical upheaval.
It might be a good time to look at: The Prophecy of the Popes, attributed to Saint Malachy These prophetic writings purport to describe each of the Roman Catholic popes (along with a few anti-popes), beginning with Pope Celestine II (elected in 1143) and concluding with current Pope Benedict XVI's successor, a pope described in the prophecy as "Peter the Roman", whose pontificate will end in the destruction of the city of Rome. A Video below covers the most common interpretaton:
As I have been saying when introducing the Year of the Serpent which commenced on Feb. 10, 2013...

"Mars meeting Neptune (exact Feb.4th) for a fantastical, visionary and spiritual merging. The last time this occurred in the faith-oriented, oceanic and musical sign Pisces was on April 14, 1849. We have sailed into uncharted seas. By the Virgo Full Moon on Feb. 25th. both angels and demons will have been observed and touched." Well today we had the Moon in religious-oriented and ocean-oriented Pisces meeting Mars and Mercury and square Jupiter in Gemini the news of his resignation (Pisces relates to abdications and stepping down via Neptune the ruler.) We will look at a bi-wheel chart with Benedict's Natal chart ( April 16, 1927 @ 4:15 AM CET - 1:00)on the outer wheel and a close time of the announcement for 11:46 PM in Vatican per Giovanna Chirri, the journalist who first gave the world the news of the resignation of the Pope Scorpio, the occult sign was rising when the announcement was made in Latin. Mars and Pluto were the rulers indicating a transforming and deeper agenda. Mars/Mercury in Pisces posited in the 4th house of ground zero where shocking Aquarius is on the house cusp of the IC set up the surprising reactions. also the potential where the misuse of power will persuade others foreshadowing the picking of a new pope.
Chart Set for time of announcement

Now when we look at the dual wheel, we see the Pisces Stellium crossing Pope Benedict XVI's 12th house and where asteroid Astrea is positioned. Soon the Pisces grouping will be moving over his Ascendant @ 19 degrees 11 minutes and more secrets will come into the daylight. The Sabian Symbol for his ascendant : " A table set for an evening meal" relating to the fact that this was all planned ahead. The 12th house of course is about withdrawal, resignation, secrets and disolution - and bringing all this into the light as these planets cross his ascendant. The bottom line is that the 12th house deals with clandestine activities, prophecies and paradoxes nbsp;Speculations are running wild as to who will replace Ratzinger made even bizarre since ancient prophecy has a chance to be fufilled. Who Will Be The Next Pope
Paddy Power has Cardinal Peter Kodwo Appiah Turkson(born Oct. 11, 1948 in Western Ghana) ranked as a 4/1 favorite.

Peter aka Petrus Romanus is known as a superstar in the College of Cardinals,

and possibly Moon in Aquarius depending on time of birth a Mystic Rectangle and even a Double Yod Key. This rare double yod key would then include an independent Juno in Aries, Venus in cool,detached Virgo, Mercury, S.

Mercury, representing youth over age (Colin) is the ruler of the chart above. And adding to Mercury combust the Sun (extreme closeness to the Sun) in the sign of the unexpected events and reversals Aquarius. Mercury combust the Sun added to the mind (thus helping reflexes) the ability for intense concentration and eliminated distracting or diverting influences for players. One thing for sure is that fans in Atlanta were LOUD so this was an aid. In the chart above Sun-Mercury are in the 8th house relating to Colin's own natal Sun-Pluto conjunction by sign. More importantly Colin's natal Saturn-Uranus were near the 7th representing the plays and his execution for the 49ers as the opponent. Jupiter is the ruler of the 7th. the opponent to home team Falcons. Plus with Jupiter in the 12th house and conjunct Vesta (focus-commitment) relates to coming from behind and from a hidden place. Also with Neptune-Pisces on the Mid-Heaven representing the public temperment of the game we look toward Jupiter co-ruler of Pisces. To reiterate, the ruler of the 7th/the 49ers as the opposing team - ultimately beating the Falcons and their quarterback Matt Ryan 28 to 24.

Aquarian Solutions Special Update 1-17-2013:

From Aries fire to coming giant waves and their impact!

Just ahead of the Mavericks surfing competition on Sunday - January 19th. For the first time in three years, Mother Nature has delivered conditions worthy of holding the Mavericks Invitational, which will begin at 8 a.m. with a field of 24 renowned surfers from around the world.

Expect some major surprises this Sunday along with giant swells with the contest kicking off at 8:00 AM PST with Aquarius rising with Sun/Mercury! Before we look at this chart's rulers, we notice that Scorpio is at Mid-Heaven @ an ominous 29 degrees near the North Node. Sabian Symbol for 29 degrees Scorpio "An Indian woman pleading to the chief for the lives of her children." Obviously there is potential danger along with some breath taking and record breaking rides. Uranus, the shocker in high-energy Aries is in a semi-square to Mars in Aquarius at a powerful angle in the first house. Maybe even a small earthquake will strike near Pacifica or El Granda?

Whoa one thing for sure, semi-squares tend to test endurance, persistence and patience. (Make a note for the 49er game later today at high noon). Semi-squares tends to attract obstacles and rigid situations which will add challenges. The winner of this contest will be highly adaptable. Since the Sun will enter Aquarius @ 1:52 PM expect one incredible ride which till totally wow this great line-up of world class surfers .

Chart set below for the start of the start of the Mavericks surf contest:

Here is the BIG picture regarding the current/future waves, storm surges and consequent flooding in February/March 2013
Jupiter is ready to station direct (Jan. 30th.) which will square Mars/Neptune/Chiron (Pisces) moving into a period of huge oceanic events and danger for those living near the coasts of the world.
Already in the last two days with cruise ship and high tides:

Giant Wave Hits Cruise Line Silversea
Luxury cruise line Silversea has been forced to cancel a cruise onboard the Silver Explorer after the ship was damaged by a giant wave in rough weather while on an 18-night voyage in South America. Media reports claimed four crew suffered minor injuries when a wave struck in the waters between Tierra del Fuego and Antarctica. The cruise line confirmed all 133 passengers and 113 crew were safe, but the damage to the ship was severe enough for Silversea to cut short the cruise...

Another recent example... Storm Surge in Guyana on Thursday, 17 January, 2013
Strong winds and unusually high tides swamped Cornelia Ida and Anna Catherina, on the West Coast of Demerara on Monday afternoon. The villages were flooded after the enormous waves surged over the sea defences leaving some homeowners contending with water that was waist-high.

Before Mars enters Pisces on February 1st it would be could idea to take some precautions if you live by the coasts of the word.

Lance Armstrong Under Oath - the Perfectionist with a Taste for Boundless Redemption

CURRENT MOON

We found out today that Lance's confession yesterday to the Queen of Exposure, Aquarian Oprah Winfrey (Jan. 29, 1954). But this is just the beginnin the law's point of view. It appears that the inquisitors want blood. Anti-doping officials want Armstrong under oath In fact under the rays of the last limiting Capricorn Moon including tomorrow's Venus-Pluto power play - Anti-doping officials want the disgraced cyclist to admit his guilt under oath before considering whether to lift a lifetime ban clouding his future as a competitive athlete. Everybody wants a piece of this story predicating a redemption. What I find interesting is not just Lance's confession and subsequent conversations with the law but from astrological point of view because of his crazy career. Chart set below using a noon time per Astro.com set for September 18, 1971 in Plano, TX

Mot only is he a persistent and a strong Virgo and paragon of physical perfectionism. (Sun-Pluto-Hygeia-Moon-Juno-Mercury all in the sign of the Virgin.),there is a totally expansive Jupiter-Neptune conjunction relating to both super achievments deceit, moral dilemnas, spiritual quests and most notabley performance-enhancing-drug user! As Virgo astrologer Liz Greene says in her mighty tome - The Astrological Neptune - the Quest for Redemption: "The co-rulers of Pisces share a taste for the boundless. When Jupiter and Neptune are in aspect, the longing to extend oneself beyond material and moral confines might take many forms;" Of course their is usually no malice directed with Jupiter-Neptune combos. Here is another article about Lance and using the word redemption:

Lance Armstrong's week of discordant redemption

Lances' also has a Saturn-Pallas conjunction in Gemini which adds to whole interview process. Saturn-Pallas together are known for self-discipline, consolidating assets and structure. In Gemini their is the element best described as the power of words no matter how limited will have power
as Jupiter transits in the sign of the twins.

Lance also has a Mystic Rectangle or a soft rectangle with planets in sextile in the corners. First Mars the warrior in Aquarius in a 60 degree angle to Chiron in Aries On the opposite corner: Uranus/Libra and S. Node/Leo. The opposition from S. Node to Mars especially with a priveliged S. Node in Leo (past gifts, adulation, hero status) opposing Mars in Aquarius (unpredictable athletic career). But there is also Chiron in Aries relating to his winning the the Tour de France cycling race in Paris despite his being diagnosed with cancer of testicles, abdomen, lungs and brain 10/02/1996! Doctors gave him a 40% chance of recovery - and no chance of returning to his sport this relates directly to his healing abilities aided by this mystic rectangle. Quote: "Here there can be exceptional skills which overcome immense obstacles, through synthesizing apparently different elements into an original and appropriate package. " Below is only a representation with this rare but powerful aspect:

Lance also has Mars and N. Node in Aquarius (if you read my forecast ) and is being activated by the current Mars movement and all fixed transits. The future will be crucial for him as the Sun enters Aquarius (January 19th.) and Mars enters Pisces (Feb 1.st) The first week of February will add a new element to this huge drama.

The bottom line for me is that he was an amazing athlete who will either re-invent himself
or crash and burn unexpectedly with his Mars-North Node conjunction. Perhaps after Saturn, now in dangerous Scorpio stations on Feb. 18th then moves direct again in July 2013...
then in the middle of October 2013 squares his natal Mars for devastating accident.

More Thoughts about this Cold Capricorn New Moon

2013-01-11T13:15:00.000-08:00

CURRENT MOON

moon phase

January 11, 2013 A New Moon in disciplined but serious Capricorn (exact 11:44 AM Pacific Time) when persistence and resilence are featured. A tip off to this new cycle which initiates today is the Sabian Symbol for 22 degrees Capricorn where the Sun-Moon meet: "A general accepting defeat gracefully." A time of surrender and acceptance to the orders of the day when many have to admit that things aren't working with US. Empire.
White House weighing full withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2014 Some of the issues involving surrender will be admiting the diminishing resources here on the planet and that capitalism is a dying system. Since Capricorn can be the grumbler/critic who demands accountability
and Capricorn is a sign dealing with business, we will need to look deeper at ongoing debt. (Saturn in Scorpio) and financial failures

this serious Capricorn Moon is a time of warnings. Yes the goatfish can be a sign of over worry and burdens but their is a deeper occult side and with Sun-Moon-Mercury-Pluto-Venus-Juno we should heed some of nature's warings! I am specifically speaking of two recent events off the coast of Dana Point in Southern California on Satuday and Sunday when:
1,000 Dolphins Stampeded In Extremely Rare Phenomenon

Below is a chart set for today's New Moon over Dana Point with Aries rising like in San Francisco. The ascendant is at critical, karmic 29 degrees it should be noted being close to Taurus. (In Seattle the Moon is at even more critical 0 degrees Taurus)
In fact speaking of precursors of great quakes and warnings, NBC Los Angeles just published this article today - Single Super Quake Could Affect Both Northern, Southern California: Study

The ruler of this So. Calif. chart is Mars in the sign of the sudden and unexpected Aquarius
Mars is intercepted at the top the chart where the Sun-Moon in Capricorn square the ascendant.

What is up with this super flu? Since Mars enters Pisces in February. Just when you thought it was safe to go out and play in the streets, a paranoid Capricorn Moon and a stellium of big daddy planets warns. This warning has morphed into a growing panic since another player in this drama, Jupiter the symbol of expansion/exaggeration is in over-communicative Gemini and closely square Chiron (wounds)-Hygeia (relates to health) and of course Neptune (crazy illusions) are all in Pisces relating to illness, influenza, hospitals and institutions.
Flu picks up steam across the U.S.since 41 states have widespread influenza activity

Looking ahead into February when Mars enters Pisces, we may even see a full-blown pandemic as unrestrained Mars in a more sensitive, mysterious Pisces will meet Neptune-Chiron and make difficult 90 degree angles to Jupiter in mutable Gemini when we will revisit the H1N1 scare but with a possibly weaponized flu! One thing is for sure alcohol and drugs especially those coming from Big Pharma will play a part in February's "mummer" soap opera. along with the big question: Now that states have started legalizing recreational marijuana, will the president continue the government’s war on weed?

Here is the story combining Chiron in Pisces and fixed, stubborn Mars in AquariusIt took weeks of protests, flash mobs, letters, rallies, and thousands of righteous tweets, but Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper finally caved. He agreed to a meeting with the woman who had been petitioning him for twenty-four days, subsisting on fish broth, camped in a tepee in the frozen midwinter, the hunger striker and Chief of the Attawapiskat Theresa Spence.
As an astrologer, I forsee this movement riding an emotional tsunami and with Mars entering Pisces, the spiritual warrior
square Jupiter in social media Gemini, this movement along with the "dancing, drum circles" and flash mobs will be big.

Helped by Jupiter/Vesta and Ceres in Gemini,
the movement (Mars) of building a sustainable food system

On January 10, family farmers entered a courtroom in Washington DC to take part in the appeal of OSGATA vs Monsanto et al, a court case filed to protect farmers from genetic trespass by Monsanto’s GMO seed, which contaminates organic and non-GMO farmer’s crops and opens them up to abusive lawsuits by Monsanto. Note that this Capricorn New Moon on 1-11-2012 @ 2:44 PM for Washington,DC has Ceres, the Goddess of Grain/Food and true nurturing is rising in Gemini opposing Astraea, the asteroid of justice in Sag. Plus the ruler of this New Moon chart, Mercury is translating the energies from Pluto(power) to the Sun (leadership)
and like all earth signs, Capricorn relates to farming.

As I have been trumpeting:2013 will be a much more realistic year then 2012, All the hoaxes and disinformation aside
there is an actual awakening happening in January. After we saw the truth warrior, Mars in Aquarius square the Dark Magician of Secrets on January 7th. revelations came tumbling down faster than expected for some people who are protecting Geo-Engineering. Global Weather Modification Assault Causing Climate Chaos And Environmental Catastrophe Please consider that asteroid Juno (now in Capricorn) not only deals with all kinds of relationships but also rules our atmosphere and meteorological landscape
and is square Uranus, the planet of sudden outbursts for freedom.

Other factors not originating on earth are accounting for climate change verified by new report issued by the National Research Council, "The Effects of Solar Variability on Earth's Climate," The Sun and Mercury meet in an inferior conjunction on January 18th: as you know conjunctions are a time when two astronomical objects have either the same right ascension or the same ecliptical longitude. With Sun-Mercury in Capricorn, this not only is a time of big news coming from leaders but when there will be a focus on our own bright, active Sun.
Also Per Spaceweather.com NOAA forecasters have upped the odds of an M-class solar flare today to 50%. The likely source would be big double-sunspot AR1654. At the moment, the active region is crackling with lesser C-flares, such as this one recorded by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory during the late hours of Jan. 10th:

Per this website: AR1654 is a monster ready to explode

Thursday January 11th. A Capricorn New Moon what could be more cosy? Maybe an iceberg. But this is a time of not just extremely cold weather but new disciplines and novel look at time itself (Cairos). The Moon made determined entrance into a more organized, patriarchal Capricorn yesterday Jan. 10th. @ 12:54 AM. Be aware that this limiting Cap. Moon joins the Sun tomorrow early @ 2:21 AM PST for a somewhat conservative but slightly scary New MOON. All these planetary changes put focus on the tribe or family represented by the goat. Many consider Capricorn to be the most responsible and sometimes the most withdrawn or hermit like of all the 12 tribes

This tribe of players is comprised of the Ascetics, Managers, Conservatives, Politicos, the Dependable Workers. The sign Capricorn is represented by the Seagoat or Mountain Goat and is a feminine sign with characteristics of being cold and dry. The word Capricorn comes from the Latin word caper meaning 'goat'. Latin caper comes from (according to the American Heritage Dictionary of Indo-European Roots) the Indo-European root *kap-ro- 'He-goat, buck'. Derivatives: cabriolet (a two-wheeled, one-horse carriage, French cabriole, 'leap of a goat, caper'). The Sea-Goat expresses the more esoteric nature of Capricorn. Per Manilius in referring to this sea-goat tail part of the figure says: "The last part of Capricorn, which consists of the sting at the end of its tail,prescribes for its children service upon the seas and the handling of ships, a hardy calling and one which is ever close to death." Thus the connection to the word captain or master of the high seas with Capricorn. Now we see how those two crashes one in San Francisco with the Overseas Reymar The other in New York where 57 people reportedly injured after ferry crashes into New York pier The sign Capricorn is steeped in history and tradition and colors much of our collective conscious. First of all there are two goats:the climbing mountain goat and the sea goat. On Yom Kippur, the festival of the Day of Atonement, two goats were chosen and lots were drawn for them.One goat was sacrificed and the other allowed to escape into the wilderness. Speaking of "scapegoats'" lets go to recent news about the ongoing Libor Scandal and other financial scandals which relate directly to Pluto in Capricorn sextile Saturn in Scorpio. Not to mention all the transits of inner planets like Venus recently entering Capriorn which will conjunct Pluto on Jan. 16th. On this lunation we are seeing the real fallout from the bailout
Matt Taibbi & William Black on Bailout Secrets & How New Foreclosure Deal Spares Banks from Justice Back to Capricorn and the Days of Atonement involving the two goats The second goat who escapes is symbolically carrying with it the sins of the community.
Obviously this is where the word 'scapegoat' has its origin. When used as a metaphor, a scapegoat is someone selected to bear blame for a calamity.
Capricorn as the 'Gate of the Gods' where one 'escapes' this life on earth.
According to Chaldaean legend and Platonist philosophy, Cancer was the 'Gate of Men' through which souls descended from heaven into human bodies, or into creation. Whereas Capricorn, represented the 'Gate of the Gods' where souls of the departed ascended back to heaven. Back to the the natives of the Capricorn tribe, who represents the clear, concise evaluator and the most practical even to a fault compared to any of the 12 other constellations since he is able to concentrate even to being closed to newer innovations. Capricorn is known as one of the paragons of humilty and maybe , David Brooks (born Aug. 11, 1961) a strong Leo
should think twice about Teaching Humility at Yale Capricorn unlike neighboring fire sign Sagittarius, tends to be too serious and even mistrustful of the novel or revolutionary. To say that Capricorn is highly controlling is an understatement! Capricorn is part of the Cardinal Triplicity stemming from the Latin word Latin word "cardinalis," with the meaning of principal or pivotal.
these are the self-appointed leaders who forge ahead with plans in a restless fashion. Expect the other Cardinal signs, Aries, Cancer and Libra to be focus and with today's transits. Time to embrace the humble yet ambitious Capricorn and his stars
