I hope that the new format for 'The Daze' is not too disorienting.
I am including helio-centric planetary positions and helio aspects 
for each day, ordered by orb, giving a daily comprehensive 'Sun centred'
perspective. Today and tomorrow for example the helio view shows Mars
and Venus in waning square aspect. We may be able to compare and
correlate such dynamics with earthly events as time unfolds. 
Also included is a detailed geocentric transiting midpoints overview. 
Today for example geocentric Mars in Aquarius 'zaps' the Neptune/Pluto
midpoint. This influence peaks around 18 00 GMT. This particular midpoint
can manifest as the ability to assert oneself in subtle, psychic ways. Again
it will be interesting to compare these transiting midpoints with events
and experiences along the way. 
Otherwise The Daze remains the same. Stay tuned.

The year starts with vigor, invention and recreation.
The Moon however is void of course in Leo.

Yesterday At least 60 people were killed and more than 200
were injured in a stampede during new year festivities in 
Ivory Coast's main city Abidjan. The astrological chart of Ivory
Coast shows a Full Moon, a preponderance of fixed and fire signs,
and Mars in tight square to Pluto. Stable at times this country does
have a strong 'national will' and a tendency to react with power and
forcefulness to events. Currently transiting Saturn is hovering
around natal Neptune and the progressed Moon in Capricorn is
applying to a conjunction with progressed Saturn, so times are tense
slightly wayward and serious. Fine tuning yesterday shows Neptune
opposite natal Venus/Pluto showing serious misjudgment and trauma,
many of the victims were children, the death toll is expected to rise,
and Mars opposite Sun/Mercury providing the ignition. This event
is a grievous start to 2013.  

Today the waning accelerating Virgo Moon is in 'finger of fate' pattern
with Mars and Uranus 02:00 to 07:00. Sharp and dangerous 'edges'.
The remainder of the day has an efficient and productive feel to it.

Yesterday a Syrian warplane hit a petrol station with a missile,
killing dozens, as the UN said 60,000 have died since the uprising
began in March 2011.The 'Arab Spring' started with Uranus entering
Aries at that time. This planet was conjunct the IC in the Syrian
astrological chart as Saturn was conjunct natal Mercury in 2011.
 In 2012 Saturn was conjunct natal Venus, progressed Moon was at
first quarter in Pisces, Pluto opposed natal Sun/Mars. Suffering,
crisis and violence has been the agenda. Is there an end in sight?
2013 sees Uranus opposite natal Sun/Venus, which is revolutionary,
Pluto opposes Mars/Neptune, which is truly chaotic beyond words,
progressed Mars trines progressed MC which suggests a boost to an
administration. Assad has Neptune opposing natal Mercury, slowly 
dissolving his world. There are so many differing factions and groups
in Syria to consider, certainly there is some hope of a change.

The most significant aspect over the next 50 hours is Mars trine Jupiter,
which peaks tomorrow but whose influence will be experienced today.
There is an intellectual and muscular exuberance about. Mind and matter
in sequence. Get lucky.

Yesterday morning Indian and Pakistani troops clashed near the
Line of Control in disputed Kashmir, with Pakistan saying one
of its soldiers has been killed. The Indian independence chart
has transiting Mars conjunct the MC, the Indian republic chart
significantly has Uranus conjunct the ascendant, which suggests
that India is seeking to upset the 'rickety apple cart' which
is the long running uneasy truce over Kashmir. The Pakistan chart
has transiting Mars opposite the Sun/Moon midpoint. In the
relationship chart (India republic and Pakistan) progressed Mercury is
conjunct progressed Mars this year. Maybe there is more to run
on this story and that yesterday's incident is more than just another
spat.
 
Mars is square Saturn today, some hard-heartedness will be evident.
Today the rapidly accelerating Moon in Scorpio sextiles the Sun  11:32
and becomes void.
Mars square Saturn  19:34
Moon conjunction her Node  21:20

State of the sky:-The Sun reaches 17 degrees Capricorn. There
are 71 days to the Vernal Equinox. We are out of eclipse season.
The next New Moon is in Capricorn on Friday.
Mercury is a morning 'star' in Capricorn. He sextiles the lunar
node on Jan 15th. Mercury reaches Superior Conjunction on Jan 18th.
He enters Aquarius on Jan 19th and decelerates to the first of 
three conjunctions with Mars and Neptune in Pisces on Feb 6th.
Mercury next turns retrograde on Feb 23rd 2013.
Venus is a morning star in Sagittarius. She enters Capricorn
on January 9th.
Mars is in Aquarius. Today he is in fixed square to Saturn.
He squares the lunar node Setting off possibly all manner of
eclipse related events on Jan 24th. He enters Pisces on Feb 2nd,
and is conjunct Neptune on Feb 4th. Mars in Aquarius promotes
individualisation, rebellion, non-conformism and altruism. 
Comet Ison.
Right now comet Ison is retrograding, brightening slowly at 22
degrees Cancer in the tropical zodiac.

The raging fires in south east Australia are coinciding with transiting
Pluto exactly conjunct the Australian natal Sun, and the current Saturn
Pluto sextile hooked into the Aussie Mars/Saturn midoint, symbolic of
raging destruction.

Today the rapidly moving balsamic Moon starts the day in Sagittarius
sextiles Mars, becoming void 02:29 and remaining that way for the
ensuing 30 hours. 

Venus enters Capricorn  04:12, joining the Sun, Mercury and Pluto
in that sign. Venus resides in this sign as a 'morning star' for a
brief 24 days. She sextiles Neptune tomorrow, squares Uranus on Jan 13th,
and is conjunct Pluto at 10 Capricorn on Jan 17th. Venus sextiles the
Lunar Node on Jan 27th and enters Aquarius on Feb 2nd. An appreciation
of value, reliability in affection, and a need for appreciation are the
hallmarks of this period. This morning Pluto momentarily sits on the Sun
Venus midpoint. Fateful love encounters are possible today.

A very capricornian couple of days follow, setting a robust and
pragmatic basis to all events and experiences. The Moon is approaching
an occultation with Pluto and a New Moon event tomorrow. Today all is
laid bare, tomorrow the impregnation. We are in a time when plans can be

Today's New Moon is the 2nd New Moon following
the Total Solar Eclipse on November 13th 2012 and
the 4th New Moon before the Annular Solar Eclipse
in Taurus on May 10th 2013.
This New Moon is quintile Uranus. Saturn is
sextile Pluto, Uranus is square Venus and sextile 
Jupiter. There is a predominance of planets in
cardinal and earth signs. The New Moon is on the
Saturn/Uranus midpoint, a signature of resilience
and endurance. Uranus is especially strongly starred.
This a New Moon where invention and discovery are
set in motion with will and determination.
At the exact moment of New Moon Neptune is setting 
at London and culminating at New York. 
The Moon culminates at Las Vegas, Jupiter rises at
Buenos Aires, Uranus culminates at Rio,the Sun rises
at Adelaide.
Today's NEW moon hits the ascendant of Queen 
Elizabeth, the natal lunar node of the
Dalai Lama, the natal Jupiter of China, the natal Sun
of Tracey Bingham, the natal Mars of Boris Becker,
the natal Mercury of Ed Milliband and Rowan Atkinson
and the natal Jupiter of Bruce Springsteen.
The Moon is void of course from the moment of
New Moon.
The infant Moon sextiles her node   21:46

France has ordered security be stepped up around public buildings
and transport because of the risk of Islamist attack after
military operations in Africa. He was responding to the risk of 
attack after French forces attacked militants in Mali and Somalia.
French warplanes yesterday bombed the rebel-held town of Gao in
eastern Mali, extending the campaign against what France calls
"well-armed" Islamist militants
Friday's New Moon hit the France 1st republic ascendant. On Friday
when action began, transiting Pluto was square the French Mercury/
Neptune midpoint suggesting a deeply subliminal nerve had been
touched in the collective French psyche. The Total Solar Eclipse
on Nov 15th 2012 was close to the French natal Mars, initiating
this war. The next New Moon on Feb 10th hits the French Pluto.
Makes you wonder where this will end.

The infant Moon starts the day void in Aquarius.
Moon  enters Pisces  10:51
Moon conjunction Neptune  13:22

State of the sky:-The Sun reaches 24 degrees Capricorn. There
are 64 days to the Vernal Equinox. 
Mercury is a morning 'star' in Capricorn. He sextiles the lunar
node tomorrow. Mercury reaches Superior Conjunction on Jan 18th.
He enters Aquarius on Jan 19th and decelerates to the first of 
three conjunctions with Mars and Neptune in Pisces on Feb 6th.
Mercury next turns retrograde on Feb 23rd 2013.
Venus is also a morning 'star' in Capricorn. She squares Uranus
on Jan 13th, and is conjunct Pluto at 10 Capricorn on Jan 17th.
Venus sextiles the Lunar Node on Jan 27th and enters Aquarius on
Feb 2nd. An appreciation of value, reliability in affection, and
a need for appreciation are the hallmarks of this period.
Mars is in Aquarius. He squares the lunar node Setting off possibly
 all manner of eclipse related events on Jan 24th. He enters Pisces
 on Feb 2nd,and is conjunct Neptune on Feb 4th. Mars in Aquarius
promotes individualisation, rebellion, non-conformism and altruism. 
Comet Ison and Comet Panstarrs.
There are two important comets in the sky right now. Comet Ison is
retrograding, brightening slowly at 21 degrees Cancer. Excitement
continues to rise among both professional and amateur astronomers
about Comet ISON, which on Nov. 28 of this year might become one 
of the brightest comets ever seen, outshining such recent dazzlers
as Comet Hale-Bopp (1997) and Comet McNaught (2007). 

Comet Panstarrs will pass closest to Earth on 5 March 2013 at a  
distance of 1.09 au. It will come to perihelion(closest approach to
the Sun) on 10 March 2013. An estimate from  October 2012 predicts 
the comet may brighten to magnitude -4(roughly equivalent to Venus).
This comet is today positioned at 28 Sagittarius in the tropical zodiac.

Yesterday more than 50 people were killed by two explosions
at a university campus in the northern Syrian city of Aleppo.
Also yesterday Pakistan's Supreme Court ordered the arrest of
PM Raja Pervez Ashraf and 15 others over corruption allegations,
raising fears of a political crisis just months ahead of an
election.
Both the Syrian and the Pakistan independence charts have the 
Moon in Cancer, and both Moons were opposed by last Friday's New
Moon. In addition transiting Mars opposed the Pakistan Venus and
Mars opposed the Syrian Venus/Uranus midpoint yesterday.



Today Venus is nearly conjunct Pluto. Helio Venus opposes Jupiter,
and there is a significantly strong and unusual 14th helio harmonic
in action as the day starts. Multi-dimensional stuff this, pretty
powerful maybe. 
The decelerating crescent Moon trines her node 02:58
Moon sextile Mercury  06:55
Moon sextile Sun  becoming void 09:34, remaining that way, drifting
for 7.5 hours.
The Moon enters Aries 16:08 and applies to Uranus. Venus applies
to Pluto. An urgent and compulsive ending to the day.

Venus and Pluto are conjunct in Capricorn.
Compulsive viewing.

Yesterday the main UK news was the report that two people were
killed and 12 injured when a helicopter crashed into a
crane at the top of a building in Vauxhall in central London.
According to BBC news the helicopter took off from Redhill Surrey
at 07 35 GMT. The local MC at that moment was the exact eclipse
point 21 Scorpio 57 of the Total Solar Eclipse on Nov 13th 2012. 
The crash occurred 25 minutes later after the nodal axis past over
the local MC. Dense Fog seems to have played a part in the tragedy,
Neptune was almost due east as the helicopter hit the crane.


The main world news yesterday reported that two foreigners,were killed
and more than 40 taken hostage at a gas facility in eastern Algeria.
The Algerian interior ministry said a heavily-armed "terrorist group"
using three vehicles had attacked the bus carrying workers from the 
In Amenas gas field at about 04:00 GMT. There appears to be a connection
with the war in Mali. An astrological chart set up for this time and
place shows the nature of the raid and maybe the outcome. Sagittarius
rising shows a daring adventure, Uranus exactly conjunct the IC, a surprise
and sudden action of a terrorist group, acting on deep emotion, under dark
skies. Ascendant square Moon, unfortunate for the locals, MC square Venus Pluto
conjunction, a compulsive motive and maybe a tragic outcome, except that is
for the fact that the Libran MC is also trine Jupiter, possible negotiations,
and Sun and Mars in the 2nd house of financial gain. I will refer back to this
chart as the story unfolds. With so much cardinal earth in the chart, the tale
may well take a long time.
 

More compulsive vibrations today.

Today Venus is conjunct Pluto 01:30
The Moon is conjunct Uranus  01:40
This decelerating crescent Moon in Aries sextiles Jupiter  04:29
Moon square Pluto  10:40

The UK braces itself for heavy snow as transiting Mars squares
UK (1801 chart) natal Neptune over the next few days and maybe
echoes and amplifies in resonance, the Helio Mars Neptune conjunction,
currently in sway.

Yesterday an Algerian military raid to free hostages at a desert
gas plant left a number of victims as at least four foreign hostages
were freed. Reports are sketchy at the time of writing but it looks
like the MC square Venus Pluto conjunction in the hostage attack chart
mentioned yesterday, has corresponded to a tragic outcome.
France has increased its troop strength in Mali to 1,400 to help fight
militant Islamists in the north.

Today is the last full day of the astrological month of Capricorn.

Monday 21 January 2013
January 20th 2013 Inauguration of USA president, Washington.

The Moon will slowly sweep near the planet Jupiter in what will be
the closest Moon-Jupiter conjunction until the year 2026.
North Americans are particularly well-placed to see the Moon
and Jupiter very close together in the evening sky on the
night of January 21, 2013. It is a waxing 'nearly gibbous' moon
that’ll pass less than a degree to the south of Jupiter tonight.
It should be very beautiful, as seen from around the globe.

State of the sky:-The Sun reaches 2 degrees Aquarius. There
are 57 days to the Vernal Equinox.
The Sun, Mercury and Mars are in Aquarius, Venus and Pluto
are in Capricorn. 
 
The slowly waxing and decelerating Moon enters Gemini 14:05
Moon square Neptune  17:34
Moon trine Sun  17:54
Moon trine Mercury  23:14
The Moon is full in the early hours of next Sunday.


Mercury is now an evening 'star' in  Aquarius
Mercury quintile the lunar node  23:15 today.
He is sextile Uranus tomorrow, trine Jupiter on Jan 23rd, 
square Saturn on Jan 25th and square the lunar node on Feb 1st.
Mercury enters Pisces on Feb 5th. He decelerates to the first of
three conjunctions with Mars on Feb 6th. The first one also involves
Neptune on Feb 8th at 4 Pisces. The 2nd is on Feb 25th during
Mercury's retrograde phase at 18 Pisces, and the final conjunction
is on May 8th at 13 Taurus.
Mercury next turns retrograde on Feb 23rd 2013, reaching repeatable
territory before this on Feb 9th, and slowing to an apparent speed
less than a degree per day on Feb 17th.

Venus is a morning 'star' in Capricorn. Venus sextiles the Lunar
Node on Jan 27th and enters Aquarius on Feb 2nd. An appreciation
of value, reliability in affection, and a need for appreciation
are the hallmarks of this period.
Mars is in Aquarius. He squares the lunar node setting off possibly
all manner of eclipse related events on Jan 24th. He enters Pisces
on Feb 2nd,and is conjunct Neptune on Feb 4th. Mars in Aquarius
promotes individualisation, rebellion, non-conformism and altruism. 
Comet Ison and Comet Panstarrs.
There are two important comets in the sky right now. Comet Ison is
retrograding, brightening slowly at 24 degrees Cancer. Excitement
continues to rise among both professional and amateur astronomers
about Comet ISON, which on Nov. 28 of this year might become one 
of the brightest comets ever seen, outshining such recent dazzlers
as Comet Hale-Bopp (1997) and Comet McNaught (2007).In the early months
of 2013, the comet will arrive in the solar system, from above (north)
of the elciptic, from the direction of Cancer.

ISON is in Cancer in the summer, Leo in September and October, Virgo in
the first week of November, Libra from the 9th of November to the 19th
and then Scorpio from 20th November for one week. From the 28th November
it is in Sagittarius,  it thensling shots round the Sun in Sagittarius
and again appears to retrograde.
It will be astrologicaly conjuct Mars, 21 deg Leo around the 2nd of
October. It passes below the ecliptic plane on the 7th November and
shoots round the sun at the end of November. From December onwards,
the comet should be visible in the eastern sky in the evening, and this
is the time the tail might develop.
http://www.rainbowcircle.f2s.com/Mysite/Comet/Index.html
  
  
Comet Panstarrs will pass closest to Earth on 5 March 2013 at a  
distance of 1.09 au. It will come to perihelion(closest approach to
the Sun) on 10 March 2013. An estimate from  October 2012 predicts 
the comet may brighten to magnitude -4(roughly equivalent to Venus).
This comet is today at 5 degrees Capricorn in the tropical zodiac.

Barack Obama's 2nd Inauguration chart set for Sunday 20th Jan
2013 Washington DC. (Taurus always rises in these inauguration
charts, the Sun always rides in the 10th house). Obama's 2nd
is a 'difficult moonrise chart'. The rising Moon in Taurus is 
square Mars and Saturn is exactly setting. This indicates
possible antagonism at home and frustration abroad. There is
little joy with the economy and with the national debt. The chart
is confident and wilful but full of challenge and opposition.
The 2009 chart with it's void Moon in late Scorpio setting had its
Pluto line passing through Afghanistan, this one strangely has a 
paran at Bamako, capital of Mali, where Uranus culminates and Pluto
sets. Saturn rises over North Korea, Jupiter culminates at Tehran,
both potential flash points over the next 4 years.

 
Today the very slowly waxing Moon in Gemini sextiles Uranus 00:50.
Moon close conjunction Jupiter  03:14 less than 1 degree from exact.
Mercury sextile Uranus  10:29
Moon apogee, slowest all month and furthest from the Earth 10:52
Venus waning semi-square Neptune  12:39

Today's Full Moon is the second Full Moon following
the penumbral Lunar Eclipse in Gemini on Nov 28th
2012 and the 3rd Full Moon before the Partial Lunar
Eclipse in Scorpio on April 25th 2013.
This Full Moon is separating from a sextile to Jupiter,
separating from a trine Uranus and applying in square
to Saturn. Saturn is sextile Pluto, Jupiter is sextile
Uranus. Air and fixity predominate. 

At the moment of Full Moon, 04 39 GMT, the Moon is 
setting over central Turkey, Mars rises at Tehran
and at Daressalem, and culminates at Vladivostok.
Pluto rises at Rome.

Today's Full Moon falls directly on the natal Mercury
of Bill Clinton, the ascendant of George W Bush, the
natal Mars of Terry Wogan, the natal Saturn of
David Bowie, the lunar node of Keith Richard and the
natal Pluto of Jeff Beck, Joesph Biden and John Humphries.

As the Full Moon climaxed yesterday at least 230 people died in
a fire that swept through a night club in southern Brazil, 
after a musician reportedly let off fireworks on stage.
The fire broke out some time after 02:00 (04:00 GMT) when between
300 and 500 people were believed to have been in the club. The Full
Moon climaxed 04:49 GMT. The Full Moon hit the natal Mars/Saturn
midpoint in the Brazil chart (Sept 7th 1822)and transiting Mars
is approaching the ascendant in the said chart. Grievous.

Other headlines occurring at the time of full moon were...

French and Malian forces moved on Timbuktu after recapturing other
northern towns from rebels, as African states discussed sending more
troops. At the moment of Full Moon Uranus exactly squared the local
ascendant at Timbuktu.

Three people died as a mass funeral was held in Egypt's Port Said for 
some 30 people killed in unrest on Saturday, while fresh clashes
erupted in Cairo. It was last month's Full Moon which fell on the
Egyptian natal Pluto which provoked the recent troubles.

North Korea warned of "substantial and high-profile important
state measures", days after announcing plans for a third nuclear
test. North Korean leader Kim Jong-un made the statement during a
meeting with top security officials, state media said.

The reports did not give details of what the measures might entail.
The big news for North Korea is that Pluto is about to conjunct her
natal Moon, the first of three this year. Very serious issues will
occur there.

State of the sky:-The Sun reaches 9 degrees Aquarius today. There
are 50 days to the Vernal Equinox.
The Sun, Mercury and Mars are in Aquarius, Venus and Pluto
are in Capricorn.
 
Mercury Mars and Neptune are 7 days and 17 degrees away from a
triple conjunction in early Pisces on Feb 4th-6th. This is the next
astrological wave, a punchy affair, evoking events and experiences.

Today the slowly accelerating and waning 'hung over' Moon, just past
the full in Leo squares her node 08:44
Moon opposition Mars  becoming void 17:00
The Moon enters Virgo  23:28


Mercury is now an evening 'star' in  Aquarius
He squares the lunar node on Feb 1st.
Mercury enters Pisces on Feb 5th. He is rushing and decelerating to
the first of three conjunctions with Mars on Feb 6th. The first one
mentioned above also involves Neptune on Feb 6th at 4 Pisces.
The 2nd is on Feb 25th during Mercury's retrograde phase at 18 Pisces,
and the final conjunction is on May 8th at 13 Taurus.
Mercury next turns retrograde on Feb 23rd 2013, reaching repeatable
territory before this on Feb 9th, and slowing to an apparent speed
less than a degree per day on Feb 17th.

Venus is a morning 'star' in Capricorn. Venus enters Aquarius on
Feb 2nd.
Mars is in Aquarius.  He enters Pisces on Feb 2nd,and is
conjunct Neptune on Feb 4th.
   
Comet Ison and Comet Panstarrs.
There are two important comets in the sky right now. Comet Ison is
retrograding, brightening slowly at 24 degrees Cancer. Excitement
continues to rise among both professional and amateur astronomers
about Comet ISON, which on Nov. 28 of this year might become one 
of the brightest comets ever seen, outshining such recent dazzlers
as Comet Hale-Bopp (1997) and Comet McNaught (2007).In the early months
of 2013, the comet will arrive in the solar system, from above (north)
of the ecliptic, from the direction of Cancer.

ISON is in Cancer in the summer, Leo in September and October, Virgo in
the first week of November, Libra from the 9th of November to the 19th
and then Scorpio from 20th November for one week. From the 28th November
it is in Sagittarius,  it then sling shots round the Sun in Sagittarius
and again appears to retrograde.
It will be astrologically conjunct Mars, 21 leg Leo around the 2nd of
October. It passes below the ecliptic plane on the 7th November and
shoots round the sun at the end of November. From December onwards,
the comet should be visible in the eastern sky in the evening, and this
is the time the tail might develop.
http://www.rainbowcircle.f2s.com/Mysite/Comet/Index.html
  
  
Comet Panstarrs will pass closest to Earth on 5 March 2013 at a  
distance of 1.09 au. It will come to perihelion(closest approach to
the Sun) on 10 March 2013. An estimate from  October 2012 predicts 
the comet may brighten to magnitude -4(roughly equivalent to Venus).

Yesterday a suicide bomber attacked an entrance of the US embassy
in the Turkish capital, Ankara, killing a security guard.

Egyptian protesters clash with police outside Cairo's presidential palace,
after the deadliest week of violence since Mohammed Morsi came to power

Today is a day of change.

The accelerating Moon in Libra, rapidly approaching last quarter
trines Mercury  becoming void 01:04.

During a period of 11 hours of 'lunar void of course' Mars enters
Pisces  01:55 and Venus  enters Aquarius  02:48'

Mars will reside in Pisces for 39 days. His schedule
is busy. He is conjunct Neptune on Monday at 2 Pisces.
He squares Jupiter on Feb 10th, sextiles Pluto on Feb
15th and is trine Saturn on Feb 16th. He is conjunct Mercury a 2nd
time on Feb 26th at 19 Pisces, and is trine the lunar node on 
Feb 27th. Mars storms into Aries on March 12th. His stay in Pisces
is punchy and will rock many boats and upset many apple carts.
Looking further ahead he is conjunct Uranus at 8 Aries on March 22nd,
overtaken by Venus at 19 Aries on April 7th and is conjunct the Sun at
28 Aries on April 18th.

Venus is on his chase. In Aquarius, where she resides for 25 days, she
trines Jupiter on Feb 7th, squares Saturn, dour and grey, on Feb 11th,
and squares the lunar node on Feb 18th. She ingresses Pisces on Feb 26th.
Venus in Aquarius is cool, beautiful and detached, somewhat at odds with
the blustering bubbling Mars in Pisces. Strange days are here.  

 
The Moon enters Scorpio 12:03 and the day deepens. Five planets are now
in water signs. The heart rules.
The Moon water trines Mars  12:40 
Moon square Venus  12:58
Moon trine Neptune  15:46
Moon in finger of fate with Jupiter and Uranus as the day ends.

State of the sky:-The Sun reaches 16 degrees Aquarius today. There
are 43 days to the Vernal Equinox. We are midway between eclipse
seasons, there is a Partial LUNAR eclipse in Scorpio in 80 days, and
an Annular Solar Eclipse in Taurus in 95 days.

The Sun, Mercury and Venus are in Aquarius. Mars today is conjunct
Neptune in Pisces with Mercury rapidly approaching them.
We are on the crest of an astrological wave, the nature of which is
event producing,cerebral, and maybe something to do with climatic 
oceanic or geophysical matters. 


Mercury is  an evening 'star' in  Aquarius entering Pisces tomorrow.
He is rushing and decelerating to the first of three conjunctions with
Mars on Feb 6th. The 2nd is on Feb 25th during Mercury's retrograde
phase at 18 Pisces,and the final conjunction is on May 8th at 13 Taurus.
Mercury next turns retrograde on Feb 23rd 2013, reaching repeatable
territory before this on Feb 9th, and slowing to an apparent speed
less than a degree per day on Feb 17th.

Venus is on a chase of Mars. In Aquarius, where she resides as a morning star,
she trines Jupiter on Feb 7th, squares Saturn, dour and grey, on Feb 11th,
and squares the lunar node on Feb 18th. She ingresses Pisces on Feb 26th.
Venus in Aquarius is cool, beautiful and detached, somewhat at odds with
Mars who is now in Pisces. Today he is conjunct Neptune 2 Pisces.
He squares Jupiter on Feb 10th, sextiles Pluto on Feb 15th and is trine
Saturn on Feb 16th. He is conjunct Mercury a 2nd time on Feb 26th, and
is trine the lunar node on Feb 27th. Mars storms into Aries on March 12th.
His stay in Pisces is punchy and will rock many boats and upset many apple carts.
Looking further ahead he is conjunct Uranus at 8 Aries on March 22nd,
overtaken by Venus at 19 Aries on April 7th and is conjunct the Sun at
28 Aries on April 18th.


  
Comet Ison, Comet Panstarrs and Comet Lemmon.
There are two important comets in the sky right now, and a new one. Excitement
continues to rise among both professional and amateur astronomers
about Comet ISON, which on Nov. 28 of this year might become one 
of the brightest comets ever seen, outshining such recent dazzlers
as Comet Hale-Bopp (1997) and Comet McNaught (2007).In the early months
of 2013, the comet will arrive in the solar system, from above (north)
of the ecliptic, from the direction of Cancer.

ISON is in Cancer in the summer, Leo in September and October, Virgo in
the first week of November, Libra from the 9th of November to the 19th
and then Scorpio from 20th November for one week. From the 28th November
it is in Sagittarius,  it then sling shots round the Sun in Sagittarius
and again appears to retrograde.
It will be astrologically conjunct Mars, 21 leg Leo around the 2nd of
October. It passes below the ecliptic plane on the 7th November and
shoots round the sun at the end of November. From December onwards,
the comet should be visible in the eastern sky in the evening, and this
is the time the tail might develop.
http://www.rainbowcircle.f2s.com/Mysite/Comet/Index.html
  
  
Comet Panstarrs will pass closest to Earth on 5 March 2013 at a  
distance of 1.09 au. It will come to perihelion(closest approach to
the Sun) on 10 March 2013. Comet PanSTARRS will emerge from the Sun's
glare low in the western twilight in early and mid-March of 2013. But
how bright will it be? Probably fainter than was originally predicted.

GREEN COMET LEMMON: 2013 could be the Year of the Comet.
Now we must add to that list green Comet Lemmon (C/2012 F6). 
"Comet Lemmon is putting ona great show in the southern hemisphere.

Jupiter and Uranus are currently in sextile aspect as are Saturn and 
Pluto.

A skeleton found beneath a Leicester car park was yesterday
confirmed by archaeologists as that of English king Richard III.
His birth time given by Astrodata bank, Astrotheme and others as
09:02 am Oct 2nd 1452 at Fotheringhay Castle England and shows
Neptune conjunct his natal IC right now. This transit has occurred
two times previously since his death but of course Mars was there
as well this time actually conjunct Neptune yesterday on his IC.
How weird and wonderful.

Mercury will reside in this sign for a very lengthy 68 days, 23 of
which will see him retrograde. During this time he will conjunct Mars
twice, square Jupiter, sextile Pluto, and trine Saturn, all three times,
and conjunct Venus on March 7th during his retrograde phase. This is a
veritable blitz of a stay in Pisces, creating whirlpools, tides and
plunges into reruns of old ideas, and subliminal beginnings with new ones.
Mercury in Pisces speaks of fathoms and impressions. Thought forms will
be fluid and receptive. This is a time to open up and at the same time
guard against. 'Psychic surfing' is the name of the game here.
Mercury will eventually leave Pisces and enter Aries on April 14th. Much
will happen before then.  
 
The Moon sextiles the Sun becoming void 20:43 for nearly 21 hours.

An odd day is in store.
The day starts 'void'. Things may appear to be burning up and going
nowhere fast.
During this time Uranus 'zaps' the Venus Jupiter midpoint inducing
boisterous and rather hollow merriment. 
The very rapidly waning Moon is in 'void of course' mode for most
of this day but enters Capricorn 17:56
Things then 'get grounded' but remain somewhat novel and strange.

This is fairly early in Mercury's fine evening apparition;
it will be considerably higher a week later. But as long
as the air is clear and your location has an unobstructed
view to the west, you should have no trouble spotting
Mercury a half hour after sunset as a tiny pinprick of
light in the bright glow. Mars is only one-tenth as bright
and may require binoculars or a telescope.

http://www.cybercauldron.co.uk



Today's New Moon is midway between the Total Solar Eclipse on
November 13th 2012 and  the Annular Solar Eclipse in Taurus on
May 10th 2013.


This New Moon occurs at at time when 6 bodies (7 if you
include Chiron)are gathered in 30 degrees from Venus at
10 Aquarius to Mercury at 9 Pisces. This concentration
of energy in Aquarius and Pisces contributes a the 'fizz'
which aptly describes this time. The New Moon itself is
unaspected and void but falls on the Venus Neptune midpoint
adding to the general instability of the lunation. Also
at this time Mars in Pisces, himself full of froth, is exactly
square Jupiter rendering outlandish outbursts of misdirected
and wasteful activities. There is sensation here but really
no substance and because of this it is a New Moon to be wary of.
  
At the moment of New Moon, 07:21 GMT, the Sun, Moon and Venus
rise over various parts of the UK. New developments shortly to
follow there. Mars and Mercury rise at Turin. 

Neptune rises at Koln and at Bremen. The Sun rises at Seville.
Pluto culminates at Cairo, Kiev and at St. Petersburg. There is
a 'sinister liaison' Saturn Lunar Node paran occurring near Moscow. 
Over Mali, where it is all going on, Neptune rises, Mercury rises,
Mars rises and Jupiter is at lower culmination.
It is high noon at Mumbai. 

Less than an hour after the New Moon moment Mars  square Jupiter 08:13
The tiny infant barely alive Moon, void all day, enters Pisces  21:21,
joining Mercury, Mars and Neptune in this sign.

State of the sky:-The Sun reaches 23 degrees Aquarius today. There
are 36 days to the Vernal Equinox. We are midway between eclipse
seasons, there is a Partial LUNAR eclipse in Scorpio in 73 days, and
an Annular Solar Eclipse in Taurus in 88 days.

The Sun and Venus are in Aquarius. , Mercury,Mars and Neptune are in
Pisces.
 
Mercury is  an evening 'star' in  Pisces in repeatable territory.
Mercury is slowing to an apparent speed less than a degree per day
on Feb 17th and turns retrograde on Feb 23rd 2013. Mercury will be
retrograde for 23 days. During this time he will conjunct Mars
square Jupiter, sextile Pluto, and trine Saturn and is conjunct
Venus on March 7th. This is a lengthy residence in Pisces,
Mercury will eventually leave Pisces and enter Aries on April 14th.

Venus is on a chase of Mercury and Mars. In Aquarius, where she resides
as a morning star,she squares Saturn, today,and squares the lunar node
on Feb 18th. She ingresses Pisces on Feb 26th.
Venus in Aquarius is cool, beautiful and detached, somewhat at odds with
Mars who is now in Pisces.

Mars sextiles Pluto on Feb 15th and is trine Saturn on Feb 16th. He is
conjunct Mercury a 2nd time on Feb 26th, and is trine the lunar node on
Feb 27th. Mars storms into Aries on March 12th. His stay in Pisces is
punchy and will rock many boats and upset many apple carts. Looking further
ahead he is conjunct Uranus at 8 Aries on March 22nd, overtaken by Venus
at 19 Aries on April 7th and is conjunct the Sun at 28 Aries on April 18th.


  
Comet Ison, Comet Panstarrs and Comet Lemmon.
There are two important comets in the sky right now, and a new one. Excitement
continues to rise among both professional and amateur astronomers
about Comet ISON, which on Nov. 28 of this year might become one 
of the brightest comets ever seen, outshining such recent dazzlers
as Comet Hale-Bopp (1997) and Comet McNaught (2007).In the early months
of 2013, the comet will arrive in the solar system, from above (north)
of the ecliptic, from the direction of Cancer.

ISON is in Cancer in the summer, Leo in September and October, Virgo in
the first week of November, Libra from the 9th of November to the 19th
and then Scorpio from 20th November for one week. From the 28th November
it is in Sagittarius,  it then sling shots round the Sun in Sagittarius
and again appears to retrograde.
It will be astrologically conjunct Mars, 21 leg Leo around the 2nd of
October. It passes below the ecliptic plane on the 7th November and
shoots round the sun at the end of November. From December onwards,
the comet should be visible in the eastern sky in the evening, and this
is the time the tail might develop.
http://www.rainbowcircle.f2s.com/Mysite/Comet/Index.html
  
  
Comet Panstarrs will pass closest to Earth on 5 March 2013 at a  
distance of 1.09 au. It will come to perihelion(closest approach to
the Sun) on 10 March 2013. Comet PanSTARRS will emerge from the Sun's
glare low in the western twilight in early and mid-March of 2013. But
how bright will it be? Probably fainter than was originally predicted.

GREEN COMET LEMMON: 2013 could be the Year of the Comet.
Now we must add to that list green Comet Lemmon (C/2012 F6). 
"Comet Lemmon is putting ona great show in the southern hemisphere.

Jupiter and Uranus are currently in sextile aspect as are Saturn and 
Pluto.

Back on line, connected to the world.


Yesterday Pope Benedict XVI became the first pontiff to resign
in nearly 600 years, saying his health is deteriorating.
The current Mercury, Mars Neptune conjunction in Pisces is square
his natal Saturn, and his progressed Moon which entered Sagittarius
in January, shortly to become gibbous, is conjunct his
progressed Saturn. The New Moon on Sunday was opposite his natal
Neptune,in his 12th house together with Mercury, Mars and Neptune.
It all adds up to weakness, frailty and impending dissolution.
In the Vatican independence chart, 11am June 7th 1029 Rome,
transiting Pluto is square natal Uranus right now and Uranus is at
his return this year. Jupiter will conjunct the natal Mercury and

North Korea yesterday confirmed her 3rd Nuclear test after
international monitors recorded seismic activity consistent with
a powerful underground explosion at 02:57 GMT  yesterday.
Activity had been observed at the Punggye-ri nuclear test site for
several months. The astrological chart for the inception of North
Korea has uncertain timing. Many different times are in use. I
use the chart given in 'The Book of World Horoscopes'. 12 noon
Sept 12th 1948. In it transiting Pluto is conjunct North Korea's
natal Moon right now, and she experiences a progressed Full Moon
next year. Very profound developments can be expected for this
country in the immediate future if this chart is accurate.

destructive brutality, at best it brings great force to bear.

Friday 15 February 2013







 A near-Earth asteroid – called 2012 DA14 by astronomers
 – will pass very close to Earth on February 15, 2013.
Astronomers estimate that, when  it's closest to us, 
the asteroid will be about 21,000 miles (35,000 kilometers)
away – much closer than Earth's moon (about 240,000 miles away)
and closer even than some of our own orbiting satellites. 
Asteroid 2012 DA14 is a little guy, compared to 
some asteroids, although its size has not been
pinned down precisely.  It is thought to be only
about 150 feet (46 meters) across.
Today, the asteroid will travel rapidly from the southern evening
sky into the northern morning sky with its closest Earth approach
occurring about 19:26 UTC when it will achieve a magnitude of less
than seven, which is somewhat fainter than naked eye visibility. 
About 4 minutes after its Earth close approach, there is a good
chance it will pass into the Earth's shadow for about 18 minutes
or so before reappearing from the eclipse. When traveling rapidly
into the northern morning sky, 2012 DA14 will quickly fade in 
brightness.

A meteor crashed to earth yesterday in Russia's Ural mountains and
injured at least 950 people, the shockwave blew out windows.
The trajectory of the Russian meteorite was significantly
different to the trajectory of the asteroid 2012 DA14, making
it a completely unrelated object. It was a 'cosmic coincidence'
that the two events occurred on the same day.


The astrological chart for the meteor impact set for
the site, shows that Uranus was very shortly to
rise in Aries and was on the Moon Mercury midpoint,
an unexpected flash of an event having an emotional
effect on all people on earth. Globally Neptune was
on the Sun Mars midpoint, unnerving vigor, and Pluto
as I have been pointing out over the last few days was
, and still is, on the Mars Saturn midpoint, indicating
brutal cosmic violence.

The asteroid 2012 DA14 passed closest to Earth at 19:25
GMT. Astrologically that moment was not too significant,
Pluto was rising over south Korea at the time and Saturn
was rising over eastern Iran. The tightest midpoint was 
the lunar node on the Moon Jupiter midpoint which could
be viewed as an impelling urge to form tighter global 
associations to develop asteroid impact avoidance
strategies in the future. Events like this serve to remind
us of our precarious position and maybe bring us closer
together.

Today the slowly waxing crescent Moon in Taurus trines Pluto 07:22
Moon sextile Mars  08:15
Moon opposition Saturn 08:46 
at this time half a grand sextile is formed.
Mars water trines Saturn  16:15

Yesterday at least 63 people were killed in a sectarian bomb
attack in the Pakistani city of Quetta - the second major attack
there in weeks. I have been looking at the secondary progressed
chart of Pakistan. Currently the progressed Moon in Sagittarius
is opposite Uranus and is forming a 'yod' with the Sun and the
lunar node. This is a fateful month or two for Pakistan.

Today is the last full day of the astrological month of Aquarius.
Mercury is now moving at less than a degree per day in apparent
motion prior to his retrograde motion which begins in 6 days time.

Today is a day of movement. Winds and waters of change are stirring.

State of the sky:-The Sun reaches zero degrees Pisces today. There
are 29 days to the Vernal Equinox. There is a Partial Lunar eclipse
in Scorpio in 66 days, and an Annular Solar Eclipse in Taurus in 81
days.
The Sun is conjunct Neptune on Thursday.

The Sun, Mercury, Mars and Neptune are in Pisces.
The Moon waxes to the full this week and reaches its full moon climax
a week today.
 
Mercury is  an evening 'star' in  Pisces in repeatable territory.
and he has slowed down to an apparent speed less than a degree per day
prior to turning retrograde on Feb 23rd 2013. Mercury will be
retrograde for 23 days. During this time he will conjunct Mars
square Jupiter, sextile Pluto, and trine Saturn and is conjunct
Venus on March 7th. This is a lengthy residence in Pisces,
Mercury will eventually leave Pisces and enter Aries on April 14th.

Venus is on a chase of Mercury and Mars. In Aquarius, where she resides
as a morning star,she squares the lunar node today and ingresses Pisces
on Feb 26th. Venus in Aquarius is cool, beautiful and detached, somewhat
at odds with Mars who is now in Pisces.

Mars is conjunct Mercury a 2nd time on Feb 26th, and is trine the lunar
node on Feb 27th. Mars storms into Aries on March 12th. His stay in Pisces is
punchy and will rock many boats and upset many apple carts. Looking further
ahead he is conjunct Uranus at 8 Aries on March 22nd, overtaken by Venus
at 19 Aries on April 7th and is conjunct the Sun at 28 Aries on April 18th.


  
Comet Ison, Comet Panstarrs and Comet Lemmon.
There are two important comets in the sky right now, and a new one.
Excitement continues to rise among both professional and amateur
astronomers about Comet ISON, which on Nov. 28 of this year might become one 
of the brightest comets ever seen, outshining such recent dazzlers
as Comet Hale-Bopp (1997) and Comet McNaught (2007). In the early months
of 2013, the comet will arrive in the solar system, from above (north)
of the ecliptic, from the direction of Cancer.

ISON is in Cancer in the summer, Leo in September and October, Virgo in
the first week of November, Libra from the 9th of November to the 19th
and then Scorpio from 20th November for one week. From the 28th November
it is in Sagittarius,  it then sling shots round the Sun in Sagittarius
and again appears to retrograde.
It will be astrologically conjunct Mars, 21 leg Leo around the 2nd of
October. It passes below the ecliptic plane on the 7th November and
shoots round the sun at the end of November. From December onwards,
the comet should be visible in the eastern sky in the evening, and this
is the time the tail might develop.
http://www.rainbowcircle.f2s.com/Mysite/Comet/Index.html
  
  
Comet Panstarrs will pass closest to Earth on 5 March 2013 at a  
distance of 1.09 au. It will come to perihelion(closest approach to
the Sun) on 10 March 2013. Comet PanSTARRS will emerge from the Sun's
glare low in the western twilight in early and mid-March of 2013. But
how bright will it be? Probably fainter than was originally predicted.

GREEN COMET LEMMON: 2013 could be the Year of the Comet.
Now we must add to that list green Comet Lemmon (C/2012 F6). 
"Comet Lemmon is putting ona great show in the southern hemisphere.

Jupiter and Uranus are currently in sextile aspect as are Saturn and 
Pluto.  
With Mercury approaching his station and another full moon on the horizon
and the Sun conjunct Neptune on Thursday the week ahead is one of rather
confusing impending about turns.

A tense day but full of watery piscean dreams. As well as the
intense Pisces energy right now we have the Sun Venus midpoint
on Neptune percolating all manner of intoxicating love dreams.
The accelerating full Moon opposes Venus becoming void 04:51
The Moon enters Virgo  06:53
Moon opposition Neptune  12:23


State of the sky:-The Sun is at 7 degrees Pisces today. There
are 22 days to the Vernal Equinox. There is a Partial Lunar eclipse
in Scorpio in 59 days, and an Annular Solar Eclipse in Taurus in 74
days.

The Sun, retro-Mercury, Mars and Neptune are in Pisces. Venus joins
the throng in Pisces tomorrow.
The Moon  reaches its full moon climax later today. 
 
Mercury is a retrograding evening 'star' in  Pisces.
Mercury will be retrograde for another 21 days. During this time he will
conjunct Mars square Jupiter, sextile Pluto, and trine Saturn and is
conjunct Venus on March 7th. This is a lengthy residence in Pisces,
Mercury will eventually leave Pisces and enter Aries on April 14th.

Venus is on a chase of Mercury and Mars. In Aquarius, where she resides
as a morning star, she ingresses Pisces tomorrow.

Mars is conjunct Mercury a 2nd time on Wednesday, and is trine the lunar
node on Wednesday. Mars storms into Aries on March 12th. His stay in Pisces is
punchy and will rock many boats and upset many apple carts. Looking further
ahead he is conjunct Uranus at 8 Aries on March 22nd, overtaken by Venus
at 19 Aries on April 7th and is conjunct the Sun at 28 Aries on April 18th.

Comet Ison, Comet Panstarrs and Comet Lemmon.
More about Comet Lemmon: 3D orbit, ephemeris,
light curves; and Comet Pan-STARRS:
3D orbit, ephemeris, light curves.
A GREEN LEMMON: At the moment there are three significant comets plunging
toward the sun: Comet ISON, Comet Pan-STARRS, and Comet Lemmon.
The most beautiful so far is this one, Comet Lemmon.
The comet is now slightly closer to the sun than Earth. Solar heating has
turned it into a binocular object (magnitude +5.5 to +6) barely visible to
the human eye, but dazzling through backyard telescopes.
Comet Lemmon has a tropical zodiac position today of 28 Aquarius, conjunct
Venus. 


Taken by Phil Hart on February 17, 2013 @ Lake Eppalock, Victoria, Australia

Update on Comet PanSTARRS: The incoming comet that was once hoped would make
a fine showing in March now seems unlikely to brighten past 3rd magnitude.
It will be low in the western evening twilight, so even peaking at 2nd magnitude
might not be quite bright enough to be visible to the unaided eye.
But PanSTARRS should be in range of binoculars and wide-field telescopes. 
See our updates and finder charts atSkyandTelescope.com/panstarrs.
  
FULL MOON   20:27 tightly square Jupiter

http://templedarkmoon.blogspot.com


 
Today's Full Moon is the 3rd Full Moon following the
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse in Gemini on Nov  28th 2012 and
the penultimate Full Moon before the Partial Lunar
Eclipse in Scorpio on April 25th 2013.

This Full Moon in Virgo is almost exactly square Jupiter,
Saturn is sextile Pluto, retrograde Mercury is conjunct
Mars, and Jupiter is sextile Uranus. There is a preponderance
of the element water and of the quality mutable.
Moving flows of water, changing emotions, swirling feelings.
The tight square that this lunation makes with Jupiter is
the key signature of the event we can expect inflamed and
over the limit responses. 

In the sky the planets form 5 points of a hexagon, the missing
point being 8 Taurus. 

At the moment of Full Moon today 20:27 GMT the Moon rises at
Recife Brazil, Saturn rises over Israel, Lebanon and at
Cape town. Pluto rises at Mandalay, the Sun and Mercury
culminate at Vancouver, it is true midnight at Kumzar.
Over the UK the MC, Saturn, the Sun and Chiron form
a water grand trine.
Today's Full moon directly impacts on the natal Sun of Cameron
Diaz,the Mercury of Terry Wogan, the Venus of Michael Gove,
the Mars of Burma, the Saturn of Iran (1979 chart), the 
the Uranus of Sandra Bullock and the Pluto of MC Hamer and
of Barack Obama.
The Full Moon in Virgo is always a tense affair.
Shortly after the full moon moment the Moon squares Jupiter  20:35
Sun square Jupiter  22:27

As Mercury started his retrograde period and the Full Moon
climaxed yesterday early results from Italy's election suggested
the houses of parliament may split between left and right, 
causing new anxiety over the EU's fourth biggest economy.

In the UK the main news focussed on the resignation of Britain's
most senior Roman Catholic cleric, Cardinal Keith O'Brien, 
after being accused of inappropriate conduct. Also Nick Clegg
denied a cover-up over the alleged behaviour of ex-Lib Dem chief
executive, Lord Rennard, variations on a theme really. With 
Neptune still pretty much hitting the UK (1801) natal Pluto
we continue to receive a drip feed of cheap skate scandals
in the wake of the J.Saville allegations. Today's Mars Mercury
conjunction also trines the UK scandalous Neptune for good
measure.
Today Venus enters Pisces 02:04 joining the Sun, Mercury, Mars
and Neptune in that sign. Venus remains in Pisces for 25 days.
During her residence there, she is conjunct Neptune at 3 Pisces
on Thursday. On March 7th she sextiles Pluto, trines Saturn and
is conjunct retro-Mercury at 11 Pisces. Venus trines the
lunar node on March 12th. She enters Aries on March 22nd and
reaches Superior Conjunction with the Sun at 8 Aries on
March 28th when she is also conjunct Uranus.
In the meanwhile, before such torrid times, as Venus drifts
and glides through the deep waters of Pisces amid a shoal
of planets in that sign we find ourselves in a dreamy alluring
drifting, shadowy and impressionable period. 
A time to live the dream.

The 'hung over' accelerating full Moon trines Pluto 03:06
Moon sextile Saturn  03:52
Retro Mercury conjunction Mars at 19 Pisces 09:09
The Moon now opposes this Mercury Mars conjunction, 
eased by the lunar node.
Moon opposition Mercury  17:23
Moon opposition Mars 18:14 becoming void 
Moon sextile Node  20:16
A final note, today's Mercury Mars conjunction falls exactly on the 
natal Jupiter and probable ascendant of the current 
Pope Gregory XV1. Amen to that.

Mercury yesterday in true retrograde style coincided with
European politicians and markets reacting anxiously after Italy's
general election produced a stalemate between the centre-right
and centre-left. The whole process will probably require doing again. 

Pisces energy pervades everything right now. 5 planets and chiron
reside there.
Life is a dream, and a dance.

The 'hung over' full moon, waning and accelerating, starts the day
void of course in Virgo. 
The Moon  enters Libra  13:03



Venus bathing in Pisces is almost conjunct Neptune.
'Right this way, smiles a mermaid,
I can hear Atlantis full of cheer.'

More dreamy wierdness...changes of heart and mind...and drifting..

The accelerating, still 'hung over' waning Moon in Libra forms a
cardinal T square with Uranus and Pluto 00:00 to 09:00
The Moon opposes Uranus  01:12
The Moon trines Jupiter  02:36
Mars trines the lunar node 03:04
The Moon squares Pluto  becoming void 08:38 and remains that way for
nearly 35 hours.
During this lengthy 'lunar void of course' period, Venus is conjunct
Neptune and the Sun applies to a sextile to Pluto and to a trine to
Saturn. Pluto is the focus of 4 planetary midpoints right now. 
Venus close conjunction Neptune  13:38 less than 1 degree from exact.
Mercury is drifting in retrograde motion.
Everything is drifting with the current.

Yesterday an explosion near a mosque in a Shia area of the
Pakistani city of Karachi killed at least 45 people and injured
dozens more. The transiting lunar node was exactly conjunct the
Pakistan natal Jupiter on the descendant.

In the UK the Queen is in hospital as a precaution, while she
is assessed for symptoms of gastroenteritis. Transiting Uranus
is exactly conjunct her Sun Venus midpoint and transiting
Neptune is conjunct natal Venus Jupiter. It adds up to a 
disruption in the royal schedule.  
  

Minor lunar occultation, observable from the UK,
 of star Omega Scorpio, 02:32 to 03:10.

A dynamic situation. The rapidly waning Moon opposes Jupiter and squares
Neptune, Venus and the Sun.
Moon square Neptune  02:43
Moon trine Uranus  09:20
Moon square Venus  10:46
Moon opposition Jupiter  11:01

This is the 10th Inferior Conjunction of Mercury before a 'transit of
Mercury' across the disc of the Sun on May 9th 2016.

The Moon squares Mercury 20:42
The Moon reaches last quarter 21:34


State of the sky:-The Sun is at 14 degrees Pisces today. There
are 15 days to the Vernal Equinox. There is a Partial Lunar eclipse
in Scorpio in 52 days, and an Annular Solar Eclipse in Taurus in 67
days.

The Sun, retro-Mercury, Venus, Mars and Neptune remain in Pisces.
 
 
Mercury  is a retrograding and after today 'morning star' in  Pisces.
Mercury will be retrograde for another 14 days.He is conjunct Venus
on Thursday. His is a lengthy residence in Pisces, Mercury enters
Aries on April 14th.

Venus is in Pisces and is on a chase of the Sun, Mercury and Mars.
On March 7th she sextiles Pluto, trines Saturn and is conjunct
retro-Mercury at 11 Pisces. Venus trines the lunar node on March 12th.
She enters Aries on March 22nd and reaches Superior Conjunction with
the Sun at 8 Aries on March 28th when she is also conjunct Uranus.
In the meanwhile, before such torrid times, as Venus drifts
and glides through the deep waters of Pisces amid a shoal
of planets in that sign we find ourselves in a dreamy alluring
drifting, shadowy and impressionable period. 

Mars is is in Pisces but storms into Aries on March 12th. Looking further
ahead he is conjunct Uranus at 8 Aries on March 22nd, overtaken by Venus
at 19 Aries on April 7th and is conjunct the Sun at 28 Aries on April 18th.

Saturn sextiles Pluto a second time on Friday. 

Comet Pan-STARRS (C/2011 L4) is now inside the orbit of Mercury, brightening
as it plunges toward the sun. Observers in  the southern hemisphere report
they can see Pan-STARRS with the unaided eye in the evening sunset sky. 
Several important dates are approaching. On March 5th, Comet Pan-STARRS makes
its closest approach to Earth (1.09 AU), followed on March 10th by its closest
approach to the sun (0.3 AU). As Comet Pan-STARRS passes the sun, solar glare
will make it difficult to see even as the nucleus vaporizes and brightens.
By March 12th and 13th, the comet will reappear in the sunset skies of the
northern hemisphere not far from the crescent Moon.http://www.spaceweather.com/

Counting is under way in Kenya's first elections since the disputed
contest of 2007, with the two presidential frontrunners taking an
early lead. Results are due out on March 11th. The Kenyan chart
looks under pressure. Transiting Pluto opposes the natal lunar node
all year. Uranus squares natal Mercury later this month. 

Mars is on the Jupiter Pluto midpoint today. Great deeds await!

Venezuela began seven days of mourning after the death of President
Hugo Chavez, with crowds accompanying his coffin through the streets
of Caracas. Larger than life Chavez had Sun in Leo, Moon, Mercury,
Jupiter and Uranus in Cancer.

According to analysts at NASA, newly-discovered Comet 2013 A1
(Siding Spring), yes yet another one! will pass very close to Mars in
Oct. 2014. Observations through March 1, 2013, suggest a flyby only
31,000 miles from the red planet's surface, and NASA cannot yet rule out
an impact.

A full astrological itinerary follows through today. Expect interesting
developments.

The ageing Moon enters Aquarius 03:03
Saturn sextiles Pluto  07:12

The Saturn Pluto cycle has currently a 38 year period. They
were last conjunct in the summer of 1982 in late Libra, they
were in opposition in 2001-2002 and today's aspect, the second
of 3, proceeds their next conjunction in 2020 in Capricorn.
The first sextile occurred on Dec 27th 2012 and the last one
occurs on Sept 21st 2013. The Saturn Pluto is concerned with
the process of crisis, transformation, and destruction of
the current system, authority figures or institutions. Deeply
rooted forces are involved here. War and violent control are
the manifestations of Saturn Pluto.

The Comet (Panstarrs)which was first discovered on June 6th
2011 as the 'Arab Spring' was in full surge, is now about to
manifest visible in northern skies. Its presence enters the 
mass consciousness. This occurs as China urges both Koreas 
and their allies to remain calm, after Pyongyang said it had
torn up all peace deals with Seoul and threatened nuclear
strikes. So far then we have a nuclear threat, the abdication
of a pope, and the death of a leader, Hugo Chavez.  

Today the balsamic decelerating Moon in Aquarius squares her
nodal axis 13:09. 

Retro-Mercury is about to run into his 2nd of 3 squares to Jupiter.
We have a weekend 'wide of the mark'.
The planets are still amassed in Pisces. Much sublimation, much in
ferment, and much deep consideration is underway. After Monday's
New Moon, Mars will lead the onslaught into Aries and this current
piscean 'drifting' will give way to impetus, anger and action.

Several important dates for this comet are approaching.
On March 10th,  makes its closest approach
to the sun (0.3 AU). On March 12th and 13th, Comet Pan-STARRS
will reappear in the sunset sky--this time in the northern hemisphere
not far from the crescent Moon.
Today the comet is positioned at 4 Aires in the zodiac. Panstarrs
is conjunct Uranus in Aries tomorrow. 
 

Here are the comet's zodiac positions for the next few days.

State of the sky:-The Sun reaches 22 degrees Pisces today. There
are 8 days to the Vernal Equinox. There is a Partial Lunar eclipse
in Scorpio in 45 days, and an Annular Solar Eclipse in Taurus in 60
days.

The Sun, Moon, retro-Mercury, Venus, Mars and Neptune remain in Pisces.
 
 
Mercury  is a retrograding 'morning star' in  Pisces.
Mercury will be retrograde for another 7 days. His is a lengthy
residence in Pisces, Mercury enters Aries on April 14th.

Venus is in Pisces and is on a chase of the Sun, and Mars.
Venus trines the lunar node tomorrow.
She enters Aries on March 22nd and reaches Superior Conjunction with
the Sun at 8 Aries on March 28th when she is also conjunct Uranus.
In the meanwhile, before such torrid times, as Venus drifts
and glides through the deep waters of Pisces amid a shoal
of planets in that sign we are still in a dreamy alluring
drifting, shadowy and impressionable period. 

Mars is is in Pisces but storms into Aries tomorrow. Looking further
ahead he is conjunct Uranus at 8 Aries on March 22nd, overtaken by Venus
at 19 Aries on April 7th and is conjunct the Sun at 28 Aries on April 18th.

Today's New Moon is the 4th New Moon following
the Total Solar Eclipse on November 13th 2012 and
the penultimate New moon before the Annular Solar
Eclipse in Taurus on May 10th 2013.

It occurs at 19:52 today at 21 Pisces on the Uranus
Neptune midpoint. At that time the Sun and Moon are
rising at Brisbane, they culminate just east of Lisbon,
and at Monrovia and they are on the IC under western
Afghanistan.

At London at the moment of New moon a planetary kite
is manifest involving, the MC, Saturn, Pluto and Venus.

Today's New Moon heralds change. Mars enters Aries
tomorrow, Mercury turns direct in a week's time.
    
    
Tuesday 12 March 2013
     
    
Jupiter is now applying in finger of God formation
with Saturn sextile Pluto. This pattern builds up 
over the next two weeks and peaks on March 25th.
We are dealing here with transformation in all
power structures everywhere. It will be interesting
to observe where this planetary axe falls.

Strong geocentric harmonic 1 around still manifest as the day
starts.


Mars enters Aries  06:27 joining Uranus (and the comet) in the
sign of the Ram.


Mars storms through Aries in a pugnacious and rumbustious manner
in 40 days. Mars is conjunct Uranus in a flash fire conjunction
at 8 Aries on March 22nd. Four days later on March 26th Mars
sextiles Jupiter in a bold flutter. Mars squares Pluto in grievous
trauma on March 27th. Venus is conjunct Mars at 20 Aries in
hot love on April 7th, and Mars is in conjunction with the Sun at
29 Aries on April 29th. Mars is on the far side of the Sun and 
furthest from the Earth at this time. When he is far away he is
at his strongest!
Mars finally leaves Aries for Taurus on April 20th.


The tiny infant New Moon also enters Aries 11:18 joining Mars and Uranus
there. Moon conjunct Mars 11:36 GMT zero degrees Aries.

So now, all of a sudden, we have the explosive mixture of an immature
Moon, Mars and Uranus in Aries. The dream lingers, but awakening, impetus
and action are upon us. 

Stay calm over the next 40 days, look before you leap and think before
you speak. At the same time, when certain, strike while the iron is hot.

Yesterday as Mars surged into Aries we saw Syrian rebels were locked
in a fierce battle with government troops as they tried to take back
the Baba Amr neighborhood of Homs. Black smoke emerged from the
Vatican's Sistine Chapel chimney, indicating that cardinals failed
to elect a new pope on their first day of voting. The US space agency
reported that its Curiosity rover has identified clay minerals on Mars
an important indicator of water in the planet's past.

Argentina's Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio, a Jesuit, is announced as
the Roman Catholic Church's new Pope, to be named Francis I.

Here is his 'noon chart'. He was born 4 days after
an Annular Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius. He has
transiting Pluto conjunct his natal Mercury this
year. 
his chart is a mixture of tradition and novelty.
He has reforming power and is super high tech. 
He will travel extensively. Watch out for the 
'Popecoptor'.

White smoke bellowed from the Vatican chimney at
19:06 CET, March 13th 2013. The Comet Panstarrs
and Uranus were setting at Rome, at that moment.

Yesterday the US unveiled plans to beef up missile defences on the
West Coast to counter the threat from North Korea, after its third
nuclear test last month.
 

Today there is a significant geocentric harmonic 19 around 12:00 GMT

'I regard the 17th and 19th harmonics as inclining towards an abstract
kind of thinking that incorporates Venusian as well as Mercurial 
qualities, and the 19th harmonic appears to be a bit more Mercurial
than the 17th harmonic, and the 17th harmonic more inclined to be 
active in theatre, especially acting. Both harmonics are inclined 
to literature and the humanities in general and they tend to 
incorporate different perspectives. The 19th harmonic especially
appears to be inclined to utilize different perspectives.'

The slow Moon close conjunction Jupiter  01:49 (2 degrees from exact).
Sun quintile Jupiter  04:54
Mars biquintile Saturn  13:18


State of the sky:-The Sun reaches 29 degrees Pisces today. There
are 2 days to the Vernal Equinox. There is a Partial Lunar eclipse
in Scorpio in 38 days, and an Annular Solar Eclipse in Taurus in 52
days.

Mercury, Venus, Mars and Neptune remain in Pisces, Mars and Uranus are
now in Aries.
 
 
Mercury  is now a direct 'morning star' in Pisces.
He enters Aries on April 14th.

Venus is in Pisces and is on a chase of the Sun, and Mars.

She enters Aries on March 22nd and reaches Superior Conjunction with
the Sun at 8 Aries on March 28th when she is also conjunct Uranus.
 
Mars is storming through Aries Mars is conjunct Uranus in a flash fire
conjunction at 8 Aries on March 22nd.
Mars was last conjunct Uranus in Aries, astrology's 'red hot
chilli pepper', on April 3rd 2011. Prior to that it occurred
4 times during the mid 1930's. The 2011 event coincided with
violent events in Ivory Coast and in Pakistan. After this week's
conjunction there will be 3 more in our lifetime before 2020.
The conjunction on Friday at 8 Aries hits the natal Mars of 
Bilawal Zardari Bhutto, chairman of the Pakistan People's Party,
the natal Jupiter of Ayatollah Khamanei, supreme leader of Iran,
the natal Moon of Bill Gates, the natal Venus of Tony Benn, the
natal Sun of Lady Gaga, and the natal Neptune of Sweden.

Four days later on March 26th Mars
sextiles Jupiter in a bold flutter. Mars squares Pluto in grievous
trauma on March 27th. Venus is conjunct Mars at 20 Aries in
hot love on April 7th, and Mars is in conjunction with the Sun at
29 Aries on April 29th. Mars is on the far side of the Sun and 
furthest from the Earth at this time. When he is far away he is
at his strongest!
Mars finally leaves Aries for Taurus on April 20th.

Jupiter is tightly applying in finger of God formation
with Saturn sextile Pluto. This pattern peaks on March 25th.
We are dealing here with transformation in all
power structures everywhere. It will be interesting
to observe where this planetary axe falls. 
Also Jupiter, Uranus and Saturn are also in similar formation.

So then for the week ahead the Vernal Equinox is on Wednesday and
Mars is conjunct Uranus at 18:18 GMT on Friday, THE TIGHTEST PLANETARY
CONJUNCTION OF 2013. The days ahead and the equinox are coloured by
the volatile energy of this conjunction.

Comet PanSTARRS, for all the attention it's receiving,
has turned out to be barely visible to the unaided eye,
and only if you know exactly where to look. That would
be low in twilight, due west or just a little to the
right of due west now, about 45 minutes after sunset.
This week the comet starts fading even as it gains a
bit more altitude as seen from the world's mid-northern
latitudes. Bring binoculars or, better, a low-power,
wide-field telescope.
 
Here are the comet's zodiac positions for the rest
of March.

Cyprus citizens are in uproar regarding the proposed tax on savings.
Transiting Pluto is conjunct Saturn next year in the Cyprus
In dependance chart,(Aug 16th 1960 00:00), so the future does not look
good and the present crisis may be 'just for starters'. The financial
structure of the country may well undergo severe transformation. 
Currently transiting Jupiter is conjunct natal Mars, March 11th, and
natal Moon, March 31st. Popular protest may win through in the short term.

Yesterday at least 48 people were killed and scores were injured
in a series of bomb attacks in Baghdad on the 10th anniversary of
the US-led invasion of Iraq. Transiting Mars today is conjunct the
natal MC in the Iraq Republic chart.

Vernal equinox

http://blog.beliefnet.com


The Moon in Cancer forms a cardinal T-square with Pluto
and Uranus, trine Saturn 10:00 to 18:00. It is under
this tense planetary situation that the Spring Equinox
takes place.

The Vernal Equinox occurs at 11:03 GMT today as 
the Sun crosses the equator and enters the sign
Aries, joining Mars and Uranus in that sign. Spring starts
in the northern hemisphere and Autumn starts in the south.
Light and darkness are finely balanced everywhere.


The Moon at this moment is embroiled in exact square to Uranus,
square Mars and opposite Pluto, The Moon is also immersed in a
watery grand trine and kite formation with Saturn and Mercury.
This dynamic configuration confers an uneasy and serious
complexion on the weeks ahead. 

At the equinox moment the Moon is rising as Pluto sets over
the UK. Mercury culminates over northern Ireland and Neptune
culminates over Eire and Portugal. It is high noon at Vienna,
Uranus rises at Athens. Several planetary 'lines' criss cross
over Libya, Chad and central Africa. It is also Moonrise at
Harare. 
At New York the Sun and Venus are rising. At Bloomington Idaho
Mercury and Neptune are exactly rising on the eastern horizon.
Uranus significantly rises at Caracas. 

A double finger of God is manifest in the skies, Saturn sextile
Pluto with the focus on Jupiter and Uranus sextile Jupiter with
the focus on Saturn. This equinox is something to write home
about. It is a serious omen of the important season ahead.

One week from today we have the Full Moon in Libra. The days
between today's equinox and this lunation may, with your permission,
be called holy.


Moon square Uranus  11:06
Venus quintile Jupiter  14:29
Moon trine Saturn  16:42
Moon opposition Pluto  18:03 becoming void.

The Sun, Mars and Uranus are now in Aries. Things are 'hotting up'.
Today the slowly accelerating first quarter Moon in Cancer, instinctive, 
moody and tenacious, is void of course all day and is trine her node 09:55.
Mars is almost conjunct Uranus. This aspect dominates everything.
Any pent up anger evident? The cauldron of cosmic energy is about to boil
over.

Yesterday Scottish first Minister Alex Salmond announced that the
Scottish independence referendum will be held on 18 Sept 2014.
It does not look likely to me that Scotland will vote for
independence. The UK 1801 chart has major turbulence this year
but the major astrological storms, i.e. Pluto conjunct UK Sun and IC,
Neptune conjunct UK Pluto, Uranus square UK Sun, conjunct UK Descendant,
are all over by the referendum date. I would imagine Scottish independence
would show up clearly in the 1801 chart. It does not. My reservations
are that Pluto starts to oppose UK Moon from 2018, and at this time I am
uncertain as to when independence would commence if a 'yes vote' is
recorded. I think  independence would start before 2018 so this Pluto
Moon opposition will correspond to other events. Also the New Moon just
after referendum day is conjunct UK 12th house Uranus, sudden self
undoing? and the Total Lunar Eclipse on Oct 8th which is conjunct UK
7th house natal node, exciting the UK 'relationship' to its core. 

Salmond has his Saturn return and Saturn trine natal Mars in Sept 2014,
sure he has the Sun sextile natal Venus on the referendum day, sparkling
up his demeanor but Pluto is conjunct his natal Mercury, and Saturn is
conjunct his natal Venus before the end of the year. Dashed hopes for him
I say. The referendum day itself chosen by Salmond  is very low key.
An old slow Moon in Cancer hangs high in the dawn skies, the mood that
day being a practical need for safety and security.
Let's stay United Kingdom. 

Today significant geocentric harmonic 3 occurs around 12:00-18:00 GMT


Venus enters Aries 03:16 joining Uranus, Mars and the Sun 
in that sign and chasing them all. Venus resides in Aries for
only 24 days. During this time she is conjunct the Sun, at
superior conjunction, and Uranus, at 8 Aries on 28th and 29th
March. Venus squares Pluto and sextiles Jupiter on March 31st.
She overtakes Mars at 20 Aries on April 7th and then Venus enters
Taurus on April 15th. Venus and Mars in Aries is passionate
enough, add the Sun and Uranus into the mix and you have on your
hands a thermonuclear situation. The 24 days ahead are
astrologically white hot. We have urgent, flash-fire emotion. We
have surges of love, hate, passion and lust. 



The Moon enters Leo 06:51
There are now 5 bodies in fire signs, an enterprising situation,
after the watery nature of the last month or so.

Moon trine Sun  10:41, a planetary trapezium is manifest
involving the Sun, Moon, Mars, Saturn and Pluto at this time. 
Mars conjunction Uranus  18:18 THE TIGHTEST PLANETARY CONJUNCTION OF 2013

Uncompromising actions may well be evident today and tomorrow.
Don't spare the horses, take no prisoners.

Once again an acute astrological aspect, in yesterday's case
Mars conjunct Uranus in Aries, has coincided with severe
weather in the UK. The main world news focussed on the monetary
crisis in Cyprus.


Today starts with a significant geocentric 3rdharmonic around 00:00 GMT. The 3rd
harmonic chart set for London is shown below.

Jupiter is really tightly in 'finger of fate' pattern with
Saturn and Pluto.

We are now into the last week of March which promises to be astrologically
very eventful with a a double 'finger of God' punching out a strong
destiny today and tomorrow, a difficult Full Moon on Wednesday, a triple
conjunction of the Sun, Venus and Uranus on Thursday, and strong 12th
harmonics rippling out on Friday and Saturday. Fasten your safety belts.

State of the sky:-The Sun reaches 6 degrees Aires today. There are
84 days to the Solstice. There is a Partial Lunar eclipse in Scorpio
in 31 days, and an Annular Solar Eclipse in Taurus in 45 days.

The Sun, Venus, Mars and Uranus are now in Aries. Mercury,and Neptune
remain in Pisces, 
 
Mercury is now a direct 'morning star' in Pisces. After recent retrograde
motion Mercury is back up to apparent speed greater than a degree per day
on April 1st and he enters 'new territory' on April 5th. He enters Aries
on April 14th and he next turns retrograde on June 26th 2013.

Venus is in Aires and is on a chase of the Sun, and Mars. She reaches
Superior Conjunction with the Sun at 8 Aries on March 28th when she is
also conjunct Uranus at 8 Aries on 28th and 29th March. Then as a morning 
star Venus squares Pluto and sextiles Jupiter on March 31st. She overtakes
Mars at 20 Aries on April 7th and then Venus enters Taurus on April 15th.
 
Mars is storming through Aries. Tomorrow Mars sextiles Jupiter. Mars
squares Pluto in grievous trauma on Wednesday, the day of the Full Moon.
Venus is conjunct Mars at 20 Aries in hot love on April 7th, and Mars
is in conjunction with the Sun at 29 Aries on April 29th. Mars is on the
far side of the Sun and furthest from the Earth at this time. When he is
far away he is at his strongest! Mars finally leaves Aries for Taurus on
April 20th.

Jupiter is tight in finger of God formation
with Saturn sextile Pluto. This pattern peaks today.
We are dealing here with transformation in all
power structures everywhere. 
Also Jupiter, Uranus and Saturn are in similar formation.



Comet PANSTARRS over Stonehenge
http://earthsky.org/
 
Comet Pan-STARRS is receding from the sun and dimming as it goes,
yet sky watchers are seeing it better than ever as it moves into
darker skies. The comet's brightness is magnitude +1.9, a factor
of five fainter than five days earlier. However, thanks to
the increasing altitude of the comet in a somewhat darker sky, it is
still just as easy to see with the naked eye.

The 'double finger of fate' with accompanying potent astrological
aspects and an approaching potentially traumatic Full Moon is
coinciding with financial uncertainty in Europe, severe weather
in the UK and sectarian violence in Burma.

Yesterday European and US stock markets reversed early gains and
headed lower, despite the agreement of a bailout deal for Cyprus.

Mosques and houses were ransacked in central Burma, the latest in
a series of incidents since sectarian violence which have broken
out in Meiktila town.

Britons tell of their struggles to cope in the unseasonably cold
weather after snow hit the UK, leaving thousands of homes without
power.


The Full Moon is almost upon us. Mars is about to square Pluto.

The accelerating gibbous Moon, void of course in Virgo, sextiles
her node 02:26

Significant geocentric harmonic 11 around 06:00 GMT

Mars sextiles Jupiter 10:28 very much a ' go get it' vibration.
The Moon enters Libra  21:32, and the Full Moon wave breaks on
our shores, with rushes and swirls.

Wednesday 27 March 2013
Full Moon in Libra square Pluto
trine Jupiter.
MARS is SQUARE PLUTO.

Wake up to the Full Moon they are all talking about!
Today's Full Moon is especially poignant because it
occurs as Mars squares Pluto, a thunderously violent
combo, and as Jupiter receives the 'finger of God'
configuration of Saturn and Pluto, a formation that
has been building for months, the gibbous Moon makes
hard and difficult aspects to Mars, Uranus, Pluto
and Venus. This Moon is also  trine Jupiter.
It all serves to rachet up everything by several
notches. 

Today's Full Moon is the 4th Full Moon following the
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse in Gemini on Nov 28th 2012 and
the Ultimate Full Moon  before the Partial Lunar Eclipse
in Scorpio on April 25th 2013. With its passing we once
again enter the foothills of another eclipse season.

At the moment of Full Moon this morning (09:28 GMT), the
Sun, Venus and Uranus culminate over Syria, the Moon is
at lower culmina ion there. Mars culminates at Baghdad. 
Mercury culminates at Prague, Neptune at Stuttgart 
and Bremen. The Moon is also 'under' Moscow.
Pluto rises midway between San Francisco and L.A.

Today's Full Moon directly hits the natal Venus of David
Cameron, the Mars Neptune conjunction in Bill Clinton's
chart, the UK ascendant, the Syrian Neptune and natal
Mercury in the Libyan chart.

The planets are full of Cardinal and Fiery energy.
Heads will fall. God will call.

Ripples of 12th, 6th and 4th harmonics manifest around 12:00 GMT. 

Strong geocentric harmonic 12 around 18:00 GMT
Significant geocentric harmonic 4 around 18:00 GMT
    
After the Full Moon climax the ailing Moon opposes Uranus  12:06
The Moon air trines Jupiter  16:51
The Moon squares Pluto  17:28
And finally the Moon opposes Mars becoming void 18:16.
Rather too much.

At the time of writing no world event appears to have occurred
of the serious magnitude expected with the Full Moon. In the 
UK the most 'brutal' event in keeping with Mars square Pluto
was the savaging of a teenager in Manchester by 4 or 5 vicious
dogs, some 12 hours before the aspect peaked.
World news yesterday reported a severe plague of locusts had
infested about half of Madagascar, threatening crops and raising
concerns about food shortages.


We are today in the wake of yesterday's Full Moon. An set of
unusual planetary conditions exist. The Earth, the Sun, Venus
and Uranus are aligned in the solar system in wide square to
Pluto. I still feel there is more to follow.

Geocentrically Mercury is in 'sensible' trine to Saturn.

Yesterday Russia warned that the North Korea issue could spiral
out of  control, after Pyongyang announced it will "settle
accounts" with the US and puts missile units on stand-by. North
Korea's leader Kim Jong Un reportedly approves a plan to prepare
rockets to hit U.S.and South Korean targets. China's foreign
minister urged an end to tension in the Korean peninsula
Astrologically tensions have been generally very high over the
past few days. This weekend continues in the same vein but pressures
subside somewhat as April begins. 


There is a small but non-negligible chance that Comet 2013 A1
will strike Mars next year in October of 2014, Current
solutions put the odds of impact at 1 in 2000.

The DAZE computer is alerting me to the continuing strength of
geocentric 3, 6 and 12 planetary harmonics. You will notice the
number of planets at 9, 10 ,11, 12 14 and 15 degrees of the signs,
which are giving rise to this phenomenon. Strangely over Easter
news wires were pretty quiet. The 6th harmonic I have always
associated with 'rhythmic activity'. It has  been business as
usual. Nothing too untoward.

State of the sky:-The Sun reaches 12 degrees Aires today. There are
78 days to the Solstice. We are in the foothills of an eclipse season
there is a Partial Lunar eclipse in Scorpio in 24 days, and an Annular
Solar Eclipse in Taurus in 38 days.

The Sun, Venus, Mars and Uranus are in Aries. Mercury,and Neptune
remain in Pisces, 
 
Mercury is now a direct 'morning star' in Pisces. After recent retrograde
motion Mercury is now back up to apparent speed greater than a degree per
day. He enters 'new territory' on April 5th. He enters Aries on April 14th
and he next turns retrograde on June 26th 2013.

Venus is in Aires.  She is only 3 degrees from Mars and she overtakes him
at 20 Aries on April 7th and then she enters Taurus on April 15th.
 
Mars is storming through Aries. 
Venus is conjunct Mars at 20 Aries on April 7th, and Mars is in conjunction
with the Sun at 29 Aries on April 29th. Mars is on the far side of the Sun
and furthest from the Earth at this time. When he is far away he is at his
strongest! Mars finally leaves Aries for Taurus on April 20th.

The next astrological event then is the conjunction of Venus and Mars next
Sunday.

Venus is closing on Mars 2 degrees of zodiac longitude separate
them in Aries. A passionate time, be it love or hate. Actually
Mars is the stronger at the moment.

As today ends the Moon approaches an occultation of Pluto 
focussed on the Middle East and central Asia.

The decelerating, 'past last quarter' Moon enters Aquarius 08:43
The only move she has today is a long application to a Uranus
sextile. Clear and cool but 'fifty fifty fire and ice'.
Venus is a degree from Mars in Aries, and closing.
Hot thing.

 

Friday 5 April 2013
After recent retrograde motion Mercury enters 'new territory'
today. Venus is almost conjunct Mars.

Because of a rare planetary geometry, Venus and Mars are
conjunct from both Helio and Geo perspectives
We are into new adventures with new horizons.

The weekend ahead is dominated by Venus conjunct Mars in Aries.
This is quite rare. There have only been 3 of these since 1950.
It last occurred on Feb 27th 1985, there was an IRA mortar attack
the following day on the RUC. Before that it occurred on April 5th
1981, 6 days before the Brixton riots in the UK, before that in May
1977, nothing much happened then. It occurs again on Feb 22nd 2015
at 1 Aries and then we have to wait till 2045.

Sun quinquncx the lunar node 03:16
Moon conjunction Mercury becoming void 04:11, remaining that way
for 15 hours.
The ancient Moon enters Aries 19:03 joining the Sun, Venus, Mars
and Uranus in that sign.

State of the sky:-The Sun reaches 19 degrees Aires today. There are
71 days to the Solstice. We are in the foothills of an eclipse season
there is a Partial Lunar eclipse in Scorpio in 17 days, and an Annular
Solar Eclipse in Taurus in 31 days.

The Moon is New in Aries on Wednesday.

The Sun, Moon, Venus, Mars and Uranus are in Aries. Mercury,and Neptune
remain in Pisces, 
 
Mercury is now a direct 'morning star' in Pisces. After recent retrograde
motion Mercury is now back up to apparent speed greater than a degree per
day and into 'new territory'. He enters Aries on April 14th
and he next turns retrograde on June 26th 2013.

Venus is in Aires. She is now an evening 'star'. She enters Taurus on April
15th.
You’ll probably first see Venus at evening dusk sometime in May.
Venus is soaring upward toward Jupiter and will catch up with
the king planet in late May 2013. After Venus and Jupiter’s
conjunction on May 28, Venus will continue to climb away from
the setting sun, and Jupiter will sink toward it. Jupiter will
leave the evening sky on June 19, whereas Venus will adorn in
the evening sky for the remainder of 2013.
You probably won’t see Mars in the morning sky until sometime
in July 2013. Your first time may well be when Jupiter catches
up with Mars in the morning sky on July 22. 
 
Mars is storming through Aries. 
Mars is in conjunction
with the Sun at 29 Aries on April 29th. Mars is on the far side of the Sun
and furthest from the Earth at this time. When he is far away he is at his
strongest! Mars finally leaves Aries for Taurus on April 20th.

Baroness Thatcher, the UK's first female prime minister, died
yesterday at the age of 87 following a stroke. As reaction poured
in from around the world, it was announced that she will have a
ceremonial funeral with military honours at St Paul's Cathedral,
and Parliament is expected to be recalled for tributes.
Astrologically her well documented birth chart provides an excellent
study for students of the art. Born 9am Oct 13th 1925,Grantham,
England, her Libran Sun, Mars and Mercury form a dynamic cardinal
T-square with Jupiter in Capricorn, and Pluto in Cancer. Jupiter
opposite Pluto dominates her chart. She had a very strong Saturn,
conjunct her Scorpio ascendant, 2.5 degrees of altitude above the
horizon of Grantham at birth, in strong water grand trine with
Uranus and Pluto.
At the moment of her birth the Sun was exactly rising over the
Falkland Islands(the Malvinas). Her iconic destiny is aptly described
by her stars.

Today the Sun, very old Moon, Venus, Mars and Uranus are in Aries.
We are in the balsamic 'prophetic' phase of the lunar cycle, the New
Moon is tomorrow.

Yesterday a 6.3 magnitude earthquake hit Iran's Bushehr province,
killing 37 but leaving the nearby nuclear power plant unaffected
seismologists said the quake struck at 16:22 (11:52 GMT) at a
depth of 10km (6.2 miles) near the town of Kaki, south of Bushehr
a Gulf port city that is home to Iran's first and only nuclear
power plant. The Moon was conjunct Uranus, ( only 2' separation)
and exactly sextile the local MC of Kaki both in yod formation
with Saturn. The exactness of this pattern needs seeing to be
believed.

UK news programs were yesterday overdosing on the death of Margaret
Thatcher. I thought it would be interesting to see how the recent
political time line of the UK fits into the progressed lunation cycle
of the UK 1801 chart.
The UK has a progressed New Moon in Oct 1962 in Gemini. This ushered 
in the swinging sixties and two years later Harold Wilson as PM.
The progressed Moon had moved into Leo by 1966 as the UK hosted the
football world cup. The progressed Moon hit first quarter in June 1970,
Edward Heath was prime minister, and there followed 7 years of economic
decline as the Moon waxed to the Full, Harold Wilson and then James
Callagan presided as the progressed Moon reached her peak in May 1977
in Capricorn. 
With a 'hung over' and 'groggy' full Moon in Capricorn we hit the winter
of discontent. On January 9th 1979 the UK progressed Moon entered 
Aquarius. Three months later Margaret Thatcher was elected to power.
In 1982 with the Moon in Pisces we hit the ocean waves in the south
Atlantic. The last quarter phase was in 1983 in Aries. So the Thatcher
years unfolded as the now old Moon waned through Taurus, Gemini and
Cancer.
The cycle was almost at an end, Margaret Thatcher was ousted by her
own party in Nov 1990 one year before another progressed New Moon,
this time in Cancer. It took another 6 years of Conservative rule and
the progressed Moon to have waxed to Virgo before the decade of Tony
Blair began in 1997. His watch as UK prime Minister oversaw the
build up to another progressed Full Moon, this time in Aquarius,
in 2006, before he resigned one year later in 2007. Gordon Brown
ministered as the UK progressed Moon waned in Pisces, his own Sun
sign. In May 2010 David Cameron became Prime Minister. The UK
progressed Moon entered Aries, and then Taurus on Oct 18th 2012.
The last quarter phase occurs on 23rd June this year.
We are due for another General Election by 2015. In March that year
the progressed Moon enters Gemini. The last twice we have had 
Conservative administrations under such moon beams.
The next progressed New Moon for the UK is on Aug 10th 2021 in Leo. 


NEW MOON in Aries today 09:37 


http://www.radicalvirgo.com



    
    
Today's New Moon is the 5th New Moon following the 
Total Solar Eclipse on November 13th 2012 and the
ultimate New Moon before the Annular Solar Eclipse
in Taurus on May 10th 2013. We are now in the full
sway of an eclipse season.

Today's New Moon is conjunct Venus and Mars and serves
to initiate a new surge of energy and a great many new
changes. This is a refreshing blast of primal motivation.
Fire and cardinal astrological energy pervades the biosphere.
This is a time to take situations head on. Courage and
zeal are to the fore. This is purification by fire.

At the moment of New Moon, the Sun, Moon, Venus and Mars are
aligned to Brazil, Guyana,Syria, Turkey, Moscow, Nairobi,
East Africa, and southern Japan. A Jupiter Neptune Paran is
manifest at New Orleans, Neptune culminates at Dublin, Pluto
sets over Scotland.
The New Moon directly hits the natal Venus of Mariah Carey, 
the Mars of David Crosby, the Mars Jupiter conjunction in
the wedding chart of William and Kate (UK) and the Neptune
in the national rifle association (NRA).

Today is the birthday of poet Adrian Henry, footballer Carlos
Tevez, Omar Sharif, Gloria Hunniford and singer Sophie Ellis
Bextor.

After the New Moon moment, the infant New Moon is conjunct
Mars  13:03 (1.86 degree orb)
and goes on to conjunct Venus (2.27 degree orb) becoming void 16:26.

Today there is significant geocentric harmonic 7 around
16:00 GMT, septile aspects involving the Moon, Venus and Pluto,
are manifest as is one between the Sun and the lunar node, and
between Mars and Jupiter.
All in all an important day.

Yesterday G8 foreign ministers condemned North Korea's nuclear
and ballistic missile programmes in the "strongest possible
terms" after talks in London. The continual bellicose outpourings
from North Korea over the last 2 weeks have been in keeping with
the astrological weather of the Sun, Mars, Venus and Uranus in
Aries. It has been a matter of sparring. Things start to change
soon and we may see a more concrete manifestation of the policy
of the regime there.

Today the slowly decelerating very young Moon in Taurus trines
Pluto 01:50.
 
Very 'steady as she goes', both brutal and tender.

Significant geocentric harmonic 15 around 12:00 GMT
Moon opposition her north node  14:50
Pluto turns retrograde 15:47 and tightens once again towards
his square to Uranus.

Refuge sought in material comforts on this Friday night.

Saturn quinquncx Uranus  03:31
This is the second of three hits of this fateful
aspect. The first was Nov 16th 2012 and the last is
on October 5th. These two planets were conjunct in
1988, the '1988 activator'. They were in opposition
between 2008 and 2010. Their last quarter phase is
in 2021 and the next conjunction of Saturn and Uranus
is in Gemini in the magical year of 2032. We tread 
dangerous paths right now with these two in waning quincunx.
 
A slow moving start, actions deliberate and solid.
The day eventually (14:14 GMT) opens up somewhat.
Movement follows inertia. Some give. Silence gives way to
chatter.
    
The slowly waxing young Moon sextiles Mercury  becoming void 12:31

Mercury enters Aries  02:38 joining the Sun, Venus, Mars and 
Uranus in that sign. Mercury will be in Aries for the rest of
April. He leaves Pisces after a long residence, he has been 
in that sign since Feb 2nd.
Mercury as a 'morning star' in Aries is symbolic of thought
processes that are are geared to initiate immediate and future
oriented plans. Impulsive communications, sharp wit and, repartee
and fast reaction replace the rather melancholic thinking of recent
weeks. Go with it, go for it. Sign of the times.
Mercury is conjunct Uranus at 10 Aries on April 20th, he squares
Pluto on the 21st, and sextiles Jupiter on April 24th. 
Mercury enters Taurus on May 1st. He goes on to conjunct Mars on
May 8th at 13 Taurus and reaches Superior Conjunction at 21 Taurus
on May 11th.

Today is the only day with so much Aries energy. Although Mercury
enters Aries today, Venus leaves Aries tomorrow.
Today is pretty 'brash and breezy'.

Venus will reside in her own sign for 25 days. She opposes

the lunar node on April 28th. Venus leaves Taurus for Gemini
on May 9th.

State of the sky:-The Sun reaches 26 degrees Aires today. There are
64 days to the Solstice. We are in the intimacy of an eclipse season.
There is a Partial Lunar eclipse in Scorpio in 10 days, an Annular
Solar Eclipse in Taurus in 24 days, and a Penumbral Lunar Eclipse,
the first of Lunar Saros 150, in 40 days.


The Sun, Mercury, Mars and Uranus are in Aries.
 
Mercury is now a direct 'morning star' in Aires. After recent retrograde
motion Mercury is now back up to apparent speed greater than a degree per
day and into 'new territory'. 
Mercury is conjunct Uranus at 10 Aries on April 20th, he squares
Pluto on the 21st, and sextiles Jupiter on April 24th. 
Mercury enters Taurus on May 1st. He goes on to conjunct Mars on
May 8th at 13 Taurus and reaches Superior Conjunction at 21 Taurus
on May 11th. He next turns retrograde on June 26th 2013.

Venus is now an evening 'star'. She enters Taurus today.
You’ll probably first see Venus at evening dusk sometime in May.
Venus is soaring upward toward Jupiter and will catch up with
the king planet in late May 2013. After Venus and Jupiter’s
conjunction on May 28, Venus will continue to climb away from
the setting sun, and Jupiter will sink toward it. Jupiter will
leave the evening sky on June 19, whereas Venus will adorn in
the evening sky for the remainder of 2013.
You probably won’t see Mars in the morning sky until sometime
in July 2013. Your first time may well be when Jupiter catches
up with Mars in the morning sky on July 22. 
 
Mars is still storming through Aries. Mars is in conjunction
with the Sun at 29 Aries on April 18th, and finally leaves Aries for
Taurus on April 20th.

Jupiter makes a waning biquintile aspect to Saturn on Thursday. This
proceeds the waning square aspect between these two in 2015-2016
and their grand conjunction on the Winter Solstice in 2021.

Uranus and Pluto are again moving to their square aspect. The 3rd
of 7 of these squares occurs on May 20th. The seven squares started in
June 2012 and finish in March 2015. Most of the current global
trauma can be correlated to this planetary phenomenon.

The astrological 'wave of the week' is the Sun Mars conjunction at
28 degrees Aries on Thursday. All through the week the Moon gains
in light and motion as she accelerates towards lunar eclipse.

Yesterday at least two people were killed and 23 injured as twin
explosions at the finish line of the Boston Marathon caused chaos
and confusion. The first explosion was reported by the BBC to be 
at 14:50 EDT. At that time Mars and Pluto were 105 degrees apart,
there's the explosions, their midpoint on Neptune, there's the
will to cause suffering to others, opposite the local ascendant,
that brings it to Boston. Pretty tight and mean minded. 


Today the very slow but accelerating waxing crescent Moon enters Cancer 02:50

Iran was yesterday hit by a 7.8-magnitude earthquake, the most
powerful for 40 years, with tremors felt across Pakistan, India
and the Middle East.



The astrological chart set up for the exact time of the start
of the (first) quake at the epicenter is striking in its
tight double yod pattern involving Uranus exact sextile local
MC (and I mean exact) with their focus on Saturn (.3 degree 
tightness) AND local ascendant sextile Saturn with their focus
on Uranus. Quite remarkable. Having viewed scores of earthquake
charts I have not seen anything like this. There were however
no significant equatorial alignments, but a few very tight
midpoints involving the local circumstances, e.g. ASC/Saturn=
Uranus (2' orb). 
The Iran (1979 revolution) chart has Uranus conjunct natal
Sun on May 17th and Pluto square natal Sun on May 27th.
I can certainly connect today's earthquake to the impending
partial lunar eclipse next week, at the time of maximum
eclipse Saturn is conjunct the local MC (2 degree orb) of the
epicenter The Sun and Moon are roughly aligned to the epicenter
MC/IC prime vertical.

I cannot find any connection between the oncoming 3 eclipses
to Boston, the scene of Monday's terrorist incident, but as has
been pointed out, we are in the intimacy of an eclipse season.
There is a lot going on.
Sharp eyed readers will have noticed the Heliocentric T-square
which has been in operation over the past couple of days. It
all appears to matter, its all connected.
Geocentrically we are now 'suffering' under the Sun Mars conjunction
in Aries. The heat is on.  
 

Today the slowly waxing and accelerating Moon approaching first quarter
in Cancer opposes Pluto  02:19
The Moon trines her node  15:10
The Sun is almost conjunct Mars in late Aries, and Mercury is
applying in conjunction with Uranus at 10 Aries.
Stay tuned to The Daze !

Well that's over! What a combination, and it's rarer than we
realise. In the 100 years from 1950 to 2050 it only happens
3 times. Last time was April 1981, and the next time is March
2028. Make a note in your diary...astrology's red hot chilli
pepper! The next opposition of the Sun and Mars is in April
next year, and their next conjunction is in Gemini on
14th June 2015.

Yesterday as the Sun Mars conjunction was only 1 minute of arc from
exactness there occurred a deadly blast at a fertiliser plant in
the US state of Texas. The blast occurred at 19:50 at West near
Waco. The Sun Mars conjunction in Aries (the astrological red hot
chilli pepper)was conjunct the local descendant, at West, and
Jupiter which was aligned due west, formed a near exact
semi-square with the local MC. This is another powerful event
within this working week which all astrologers correspond to the 
Sun Mars conjunction in Aries. The forthcoming lunar eclipses
when relocated to West in Texas show planets conjunct the local
angles. The Texas explosion occurred as the Mars/Pluto and Sun/Pluto
midpoints were on Neptune. 
 
 
Mercury is now close to his conjunction with Uranus in Aries.
We can expect a few sudden realizations and unexpected responses
today, hopefully more cerebral than the actual explosions and 
quake of the last few days..

Scientists say Nasa's Kepler space telescope has found distant planets
that may be the most Earth-like it has yet discovered. The two now
being highlighted were actually found in a group of five planets
circling a star that is slightly smaller, cooler and older than our
own Sun. Called Kepler-62, this star is located in the Constellation
Lyra.

State of the sky:-The Sun reaches 2 degrees Taurus today. There are
57 days to the Solstice. We are in the intimacy of an eclipse season.
There is a Partial Lunar eclipse in Scorpio in 3 days, an Annular
Solar Eclipse in Taurus in 17 days, and a Penumbral Lunar Eclipse,
the first of Lunar Saros 150, in 33 days.


The Sun, Venus and  Mars are in Taurus. We are in a very fertile time.
 
Mercury is now a direct 'morning star' in Aires. After recent retrograde
motion Mercury is now back up to apparent speed greater than a degree per
day and into 'new territory'. 
Mercury sextiles Jupiter on April 24th. 
Mercury enters Taurus on May 1st. He goes on to conjunct Mars on
May 8th at 13 Taurus and reaches Superior Conjunction at 21 Taurus
on May 11th. He next turns retrograde on June 26th 2013.

Venus is now an evening 'star' in Taurus.
You’ll probably first see Venus at evening dusk sometime in May.
Venus is soaring upward toward Jupiter and will catch up with
the king planet in late May 2013. After Venus and Jupiter’s
conjunction on May 28, Venus will continue to climb away from
the setting sun, and Jupiter will sink toward it. Jupiter will
leave the evening sky on June 19, whereas Venus will adorn in
the evening sky for the remainder of 2013.
You probably won’t see Mars in the morning sky until sometime
in July 2013. Your first time may well be when Jupiter catches
up with Mars in the morning sky on July 22. 
 
Mars is now in Taurus until the end of May. Mars will sextile
Neptune on April 27th, trine Pluto on May 5th. Mercury overtakes
Mars at 13 Taurus on May 8th. Mars opposes the lunar node on May
13th and leaves Taurus for Gemini on May 31st.


Uranus and Pluto are again moving to their square aspect. The 3rd
of 7 of these squares occurs on May 20th. The seven squares started in
June 2012 and finish in March 2015. Most of the current global
trauma can be correlated to this planetary phenomenon.

The astrological 'wave of the week' is undoubtedly the lunar eclipse
on Thursday.

 April 25th 2013  Partial lunar Eclipse at 6 degrees Scorpio. 
           Central eclipse 20:08 GMT




This is the first of 5 eclipses in 2013. It falls at 6 degrees
Scorpio 12 degrees east of Spica, and is a 'barely partial' lunar
eclipse with a partial phase lasting only 27 mins. 
At this time the eclipsed moon trines Neptune, opposes Mars and
is applying to a conjunction with Saturn. We are dealing here
with a rather intense pulse of energy that can be viewed as both
magical and educational. There is a learning experience with this one.
Venus trines Pluto, Uranus squares pluto. Fixed and earth signs
predominate.

At the moment of maximum eclipse 20:07 GMT the Moon is at upper
culmination at Kumzar Iran, and at lower culmination at Seatle,
Vancouver and San Franscisco. The Moon rises at Recife and is
setting over Japan. Pluto is conjunct the local MC of Pyongyang,
capital of North Korea.Jupiter aligns to Istanbul, Uranus to Ankara,
Pluto rises at Addis Ababa, the lunar node rises at London.

Timings of the eclipse.

Penumbral Eclipse starts 18:03:38
Partial Eclipse starts 19:54:08
Greatest Eclipse 20:07:30
Partial Eclipse ends 20:21:02
Penumbral Eclipse ends 22:11:26


Today's eclipse falls directly on the natal Sun of Bill Gates
and Grace Slick, the natal Mercury of Gerry Adams, the natal
Mars of North Korea, the natal Saturn of Kim Basinger, the natal
Uranus of Tiger Woods, the Neptune of Cyprus, and the natal Pluto
of Lady Gaga. 

Today is the birthday of Al Pacino, Eric Bristow, Hank Azaria and
Monty Panesar.
 
Lunar Saros 112
Today's eclipse is member 65 of the 72 lunar eclipses which make
up Lunar Saros 112. As such today's eclipse belongs to an old
Saros. The series started on May 20th 0859 AD and the chart for
maximum eclipse of that first saros member, set for London,
is shown below.


The eclipsed Moon in Sagittarius is square Jupiter.
The flavor of this Saros is one of exploration and
international communication. 
Saturn in Leo opposite Neptune is square the nodal
axis. Seeking escape from oppressive forces under fateful
circumstances. The opposition is eased by Pluto in Aries.
Fortune favours the bold.

Lunar Saros 112 'went total' between 1364 and 1616, with
the longest Total Eclipse in 1490. This was the year that
Leonardo Da Vinci invented the oil lamp and observed 'capillary
action', it was also the year of the battle of Glendale (SKYE).

Today's eclipse is the final partial eclipse in the series. It
is described by astronomeres as 'barely partial'. The remainder
of the Saros, which ends in the year 2139, consists wholy of
penumbral events. 
The last eclipse in the Saros, April 15th 1995, precipitated 4
days later the Oklahama bombing, 168 died. The eclipse before
that on April 4th 1977 coincided with a major flood in Virginia,
the Clash released their debut LP 4 days later. The eclipse 
before that March 24th 1959 was the time of the Dai Lama's flee
from Tibet, one week earlier, and his arrival in India, one 
week later.  The 1941 eclipse coincided with Eisenhower's 'Lende
Lease', the 1923 eclipse coincided with the 1st edition of Time
magazine, and the eclipse on Feb 19th 1905 coincided with the start
of the battle of Mukden in the Russo Japan war. 
It appears that this Saros Series is still pretty potent.

The next Lunar Eclipse is a Penumbral Eclipse of the Moon
in one month's time on May 25th 2013 in Sagittarius.
The next Partial Lunar Eclipse is on October 18th 2013
in Aries. The next Total Lunar Eclipse is on April 15th
2014 in Libra, not visible from the UK. The next Total
Lunar Eclipse visible from the UK occurs during the early
hours of Monday September 28th 2015 at 5 Aries.

The wake of yesterday's lunar eclipse dominates our day.

The weekend ahead is very much coloured by Saturn's opposition
to the Sun. Truth laid bare. Stark but full of opportunity.

The main news so far following Thursday's lunar eclipse has been
emerging evidence from the US and the UK that Syrian government
troops have used chemical weapons. The eclipse squared the Syrian
Pluto, and Jupiter squares the Syrian Sun today. Very bad press.
Neptune is about to start to oppose the natal Mercury of president
Assad. This influence lasts right up to the end of 2014. I am
wondering if this will be the astrological factor which dissolves
his historical role. The lunar eclipse on May 25th squares this
point in his chart, maybe initiating a kick start to his demise.

Yesterday a fire broke out in a collapsed factory in Bangladesh's
capital Dhaka, hampering efforts to reach survivors of a disaster
that has killed hundreds and which together with Syrian reported
use of chemical weapons, seem to be the historical events 'thrown up'
by the lunar eclipse in Scorpio last Thursday. Both events truly
horrific.

Today Venus quintiles Neptune  00:58
Moon reaches disseminating phase 02:28
Moon trine Mercury becoming void 04:38
Venus opposition Node  08:10
Moon  enters Capricorn  12:22 joining Pluto.
The Moon then applies towards a unique occultation at 07:21
GMT tomorrow morning of Pluto focussed on the UK and eastern USA
(see map below).
Moon sextile Neptune  20:33


State of the sky:-The Sun reaches 9 degrees Taurus today. There are
50 days to the Solstice. We are in the full fury of an eclipse season.
There is an Annular Solar Eclipse in Taurus in 10 days, and a
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse, the first of Lunar Saros 150, in 26 days.


The Sun, Venus and  Mars are in Taurus. We are in a very fertile time.
 
Mercury is now a direct 'morning star' in Aires.
Mercury enters Taurus on May 1st. He goes on to conjunct Mars on
May 8th at 13 Taurus and reaches Superior Conjunction at 21 Taurus
on May 11th. He next turns retrograde on June 26th 2013.
Mercury is conjunct Venus twice this year, May 24th at 19 Gemini,
and on June 21st at 22 Cancer. These two are then conjunct opposite
this point at 23 Capricorn on Jan 7th 2014.

Venus is now an evening 'star' in Taurus. She enters Gemini on May
9th.

You’ll probably first see Venus at evening dusk sometime in May.
Venus is soaring upward toward Jupiter and will catch up with
the king planet in late May 2013. After Venus and Jupiter’s
conjunction on May 28, Venus will continue to climb away from
the setting sun, and Jupiter will sink toward it. Jupiter will
leave the evening sky on June 19, whereas Venus will adorn in
the evening sky for the remainder of 2013.
You probably won’t see Mars in the morning sky until sometime
in July 2013. Your first time may well be when Jupiter catches
up with Mars in the morning sky on July 22. 
 
Mars is now in Taurus until the end of May. Mars will trine
Pluto on May 5th. Mercury overtakes Mars at 13 Taurus on May
8th. Mars opposes the lunar node on May 13th and leaves Taurus
for Gemini on May 31st.


Uranus and Pluto are again moving to their square aspect. The 3rd
of 7 of these squares occurs on May 20th. The seven squares started in
June 2012 and finish in March 2015. Most of the current global
trauma can be correlated to this planetary phenomenon.

The astrological 'wave of the week' is Mars opposite Saturn early (GMT)
on Wednesday and Mercury undergoing the same opposition to Saturn
on Sunday.

Today the Moon occults Pluto. This occultation is focussed on
the area shown on the map below which includes the UK.
This is a very rare astrological event. 

Also today an opposition of Mars and Saturn is biting hard. It peaks
early tomorrow but its effect will increasingly be felt as the day
proceeds.
A desire to push resolutely forward is challenged by an equal and 
opposite tempering restriction. Stay cool.

Uranus square Pluto is 'hot' again now.
The 3rd of 7 of these squares occurs on May 20th. The seven squares
started in June 2012 and finish in March 2015. Most of the current
global trauma can be correlated to this planetary phenomenon.

The fast moving but decelerating disseminating Moon squares
Mercury becoming void 14:08
The Moon enters Aquarius 14:21.
Mercury enters Taurus  15:38 joining the Sun, Venus and Mars there.

Mercury will whizz through Taurus in just 15 days. He has a very
busy time there. He sextiles Neptune on May 4th, opposes Saturn on
May 5th, and trines Pluto on May 7th. On May 8th he is conjunct Mars
at 13 degrees Taurus, and opposes the lunar node on May 9th. Mercury
is at Superior Conjunction with the Sun at 22 degrees Taurus on May
11th. He enters Gemini on may 15th as an 'evening star'.


So with all this Taurus energy we are in for a very 'solid' practical
'rooted' steady couple of weeks. A good time to lay firm foundations
in all areas of life.  

The Taurean Sun trines Pluto 17:37. Changes for the better.

Thursday 2 May 2013
The Sun and Mars are opposite Saturn today 
squared by the last quarter Moon.

Hundreds of Syrians have fled coastal areas where activists
claim government forces have massacred dozens of people in recent days.
Transiting Mars hit the Syrian independence chart Mars Saturn 
midpoint yesterday. Sheer brutality. Jupiter is square Venus/Pluto
today, Saturn squares Pluto. Uranus sextiles Jupiter/Neptune. 
Still ongoing and worse to follow. Mars is conjunct Mars/Uranus on 
Monday. There are three heavyweights acting at this time. Transiting
Uranus is opposite Syrian Mercury throughout 2014. 2014 sees changes
then?
The Syrian independence chart, Sept 16th 1941, has has its 6th Jupiter
return on May 15th 2014. Painful growth and maturity.   
 
Today the ageing decelerating Moon in Pisces trines her node 01:08
and squares Jupiter  03:34.

At 08:18 we are exactly at the midpoint between the Vernal Equinox
and the Solstice. The Sun reaches 15 degrees Taurus. In the north
we enter the lightest quarter of the year, it is almost early summer.
In the southern hemisphere the season of 'fading' begins.

Mercury opposition Saturn  11:14 Serious deliberation and decision.
Moon sextile Venus becoming void 16:02, follow through.
Mars earth trines Pluto  21:30. Effort, energy and endurance.x

Full bloodied day. Strong and emphatic. Sun and 3 in Taurus,
old Moon in Aries. We are within 96 hours of Solar Eclipse.
Also Mercury is within 3 degrees of his conjunction with Mars
on Wednesday. Both trine Pluto. Great schemes are afoot.

Moon conjunct Uranus 2.78 degree orb, 20:58


State of the sky:-The Sun is now at 16 degrees Taurus. There are
43 days to the Solstice. We are in the full fury of an eclipse season.
There is an Annular Solar Eclipse in Taurus in 3 days, starting late
on Thursday, and a Penumbral Lunar Eclipse, the first of Lunar Saros 150,
in 19 days.


The Sun, Mercury, Venus and  Mars are in Taurus. We are in a very
fertile time.
 
Mercury is now a fast moving direct 'morning star' in Taurus.
Mercury  trines Pluto on May 7th. On May 8th he is conjunct Mars
at 13 degrees Taurus, and he opposes the lunar node on May 9th. Mercury
is at Superior Conjunction with the Sun at 22 degrees Taurus on May
11th. He enters Gemini on May 15th as an 'evening star'.
Mercury next turns retrograde on June 26th 2013.
Mercury is conjunct Venus twice this year, May 24th at 19 Gemini,
and on June 21st at 22 Cancer. These two are then conjunct opposite
this point at 23 Capricorn on Jan 7th 2014.

Venus is now an evening 'star' in Taurus. She enters Gemini on May
9th.

You’ll probably first see Venus at evening dusk sometime in May.
Venus is soaring upward toward Jupiter and will catch up with
the king planet in late May 2013. After Venus and Jupiter’s
conjunction on May 28, Venus will continue to climb away from
the setting sun, and Jupiter will sink toward it. Jupiter will
leave the evening sky on June 19, whereas Venus will adorn in
the evening sky for the remainder of 2013.
You probably won’t see Mars in the morning sky until sometime
in July 2013. Your first time may well be when Jupiter catches
up with Mars in the morning sky on July 22. 
 
Mars is now in Taurus until the end of May. Mercury overtakes
Mars at 13 Taurus on May 8th, that's Wednesday of this week.
Mars opposes the lunar node on May 13th and leaves Taurus for
Gemini on May 31st.


Uranus and Pluto are again moving to their square aspect. The 3rd
of 7 of these squares occurs on May 20th. The seven squares started in
June 2012 and finish in March 2015. Most of the current global
trauma can be correlated to this planetary phenomenon.

The astrological 'wave of the week' is the Annular Solar Eclipse on
Thursday night Friday morning (GMT), preceded by a lunar occultation
of Mars focussed on the UK on Thursday, and the robust conjunction of
Mercury and Mars at the very start (GMT) of Wednesday.

Three weeks from now, May 27th 28th Mercury,
Venus and Jupiter will be conjunct at 19 degrees Gemini. I've heard
it described as a 'love fest'.

May 10th 2013 Long Annular Solar Eclipse at 20 degrees Taurus. Lasts 6m 3s. 
Central eclipse 00:25 GMT, visible from Australia and the pacific ocean.

This eclipse occurs 3 days before lunar apogee which is why the eclipse path
is so broad.


This eclipse starts its sequence at 21:25:10 on May 9th 2013, and the
moment of greatest eclipse is 00:25:13 on May 10th.

Today's eclipse occurs at 20 degrees Taurus. Its 'feel' polarizes the
quality of the lunar eclipse in Scorpio two weeks ago very dramatically.
The intensity of that eclipse is complimented by the 'full bodied' energy
of today. 5 bodies are in earth and 5 are in fixed signs. Saturn trines
Neptune and Uranus squares Pluto, and there are separating aspects of
Mercury conjunct Mars, Mars trine Pluto, this eclipse 'sees things
through'. 

Today's eclipse directly hits the natal Sun of Bono, the natal Moon of
Bill Clinton, the natal Venus of Joe Cocker and Paul McCartney, the
lunar node of Alice Cooper, the Moon in the Obama 2nd inauguration
chart, the Pluto in the national rifle association chart, the Moon in
the Chile proclamation chart, the ascendant of Jamaica, the Moon in the
Togo chart and natal Saturn in the Syrian Bach Party chart.
At this time the birthdays of Donovan (singer), Glenda Jackson and
Billy Joel are occurring. New chapters in all their life stories are
now commencing.

An astrocartography analysis of the moment of maximum eclipse today
shows the Sun and Moon rising over India and eastern Afghanistan,
they are setting over southern Mexico and eastern USA, they are at lower
culmination over Ireland and at Rabat. Mars Mercury the Sun and Moon
and the lunar nodal axis align to New Zealand, Pluto exactly aligned 
to Sydney. 



Today's eclipse is member 31 of the 70 solar eclipses which comprise
Solar Saros 138. This Saros family reaches its climax in the year 2554.
The Saros is increasing in its potency.
The first eclipse in the series was on June 6th 1472 with greatest
eclipse at 20:20:31. The chart for this moment, set to London, is 
shown below.



Today's eclipse is the 24th of 50 Annular eclipses.
The saros ends in 2716.


Solar Saros 138 has a definite communication focus.
The Sun and Moon are in Gemini trine a conjunction
of Jupiter and Uranus in Libra. This Saros favours
peace treaties, diplomatic moves, retreats and above
all high speed communications.

The last eclipse in the Saros was on 29th April 1995.
Jacques Chirac was being elected French president, and
the Nuclear non-proliferation treaty was being sorted
out. Prior to that the April 1977 eclipse coincided with
the first use of of optical fibre for live telephone.
The April 1959 eclipse coincided with the IADB bank
being established. The eclipse on March 27th 1941 occurred
as the battle of Cape Matapan and the preliminary spying
on Pearl Harbour was underway by Japan. The 1925 (March)
eclipse coincided (5 days later) with the first ever live
Hockey broadcast. The March 1905 eclipse happened as Russian
troops were retreating from Mukden.Friday's eclipse finishes at 03:25 GMT. 
The day continues in a positive and steady manner.

The main 'popular' event surrounding last Friday's Solar Eclipse
seems to have been the escape of three women hostages captive
for a decade in Cleveland Ohio. Other events and stories are 
still emerging. The World Health Organization has warned that
it appears "increasingly" likely that the new coronavirus can
be passed between people in close contact. British scientists
at a research centre in Cambridge say they have developed a
new type of wheat which could increase productivity by 30%.



Former Pakistan PM Nawaz Sharif yesterday celebrated victory in
the country's elections, as unofficial results suggested a big
lead for his party. Sharif was born on 25 December 1949. His
chart is a robust but highly tense map. Sun in Capricorn 
opposite Uranus, Mars and Saturn in Virgo, Venus and Jupiter
in Gemini. A pragmatist, a communicator and a man of faith,
with a Pisces Moon.

Syria said it was not behind two car bombs which claimed the
lives of 46 people in the Turkish border town of Reyhanli on
Saturday.

Parliamentary elections were under way in Bulgaria with opinion
polls putting the two main parties neck and neck.

Venus square Neptune  20:48
Venus biquintile Pluto  23:29
Mercury semi square Uranus  23:55

State of the sky:-The Sun is now at 23 degrees Taurus. There are
36 days to the Solstice. We are still in the full fury of an eclipse
season. There is a Penumbral Lunar Eclipse, the first of Lunar Saros
150, in 12 days.


The Sun, Mercury, and  Mars are in Taurus. Venus and Jupiter are 
in Gemini.

 
Mercury is now a fast moving direct 'evening star' in Taurus.
He enters Gemini on May 15th.
Mercury next turns retrograde on June 26th 2013.
Mercury is conjunct Venus twice this year, May 24th at 19 Gemini,
and on June 21st at 22 Cancer. These two are then conjunct opposite
this point at 23 Capricorn on Jan 7th 2014.

Venus is now an evening 'star' in  Gemini. She squares
Neptune today, sextiles Uranus and May 18th, is conjunct
Mercury at 19 Gemini on May 24th, is conjunct Jupiter on
May 28th at 23 Gemini and enters Cancer on June 3rd. Venus in
Gemini is light and communicative. Affections are divergent
and multifarious. 

You’all probably first see Venus at evening dusk sometime in May.
Venus is soaring upward toward Jupiter and will catch up with
the king planet in late May 2013. After Venus and Jupiter’s
conjunction on May 28, Venus will continue to climb away from
the setting sun, and Jupiter will sink toward it. Jupiter will
leave the evening sky on June 19, whereas Venus will adorn in
the evening sky for the remainder of 2013.
You probably won’t see Mars in the morning sky until sometime
in July 2013. Your first time may well be when Jupiter catches
up with Mars in the morning sky on July 22. 
 
Mars is now in Taurus until the end of May. 
Mars opposed the lunar node yesterday and leaves Taurus for Gemini
on May 31st.


Uranus and Pluto are again moving to their square aspect. The 3rd
of 7 of these squares occurs on May 20th. The seven squares started in
June 2012 and finish in March 2015. Most of the current global
trauma can be correlated to this planetary phenomenon.

The astrological 'wave of the week' is on Saturday when all the
planets in the the solar system except Mars and Jupiter seem to knock
one another about astrologically. Not the easiest of days but pretty
dynamic. 

Two weeks from now, May 27th 28th Mercury, Venus and Jupiter will be
conjunct at 23 degrees Gemini A very jolly time is in store.

Venus makes a waning quinquncx aspect to Saturn 06:55, some
bitterness in the start of the (GMT) day.
The accelerating slowly waxing crescent Moon in Cancer sextiles
the Sun becoming void 12:15

Mercury enters Gemini 20:42 joining Venus and Jupiter in that
sign. Mercury flies through Gemini in 15 days. Mercury squares
Neptune on May 18th. He sextiles Uranus on May 21st. Mercury is
conjunct Venus at 19 degrees Gemini on May 24th and is conjunct
Jupiter at 23 Gemini on May 27th. Mercury leaves Gemini for 
Cancer on May 31st. There is an astrological wave starting to
build with today's ingress. The triple conjunction of Mercury,
Venus and Jupiter during May 24th-27th is an exciting prospect.
The next couple of weeks is a vibrant fast moving kaleidoscope
of words, ideas, fancies, decisions and affections. Simultaneous
synchronistic events will take place. People will behave in
'butterfly and bee' mode, fluttering from flower to flower,
sampling secrets and stinging shallowly. This is a time for
communication, movement and exchange. Use it well.
 
Two hours later the Moon enters Leo 22:39
The Moon then sextiles Mercury, newly arrived in Gemini 23:04.

From the Helio perspective Venus is conjunct Jupiter tonight. 
This conjunction occurs every 8 months. The next conjunction
in Gemini is in 2025. This vibration is a regular and steady
pulse in the solar system, its symbolism encompasses vibrant
wisdom and love.

Historical astrological analysis of the current eclipse season
will possibly find correspondence to the announcement this
week by US scientists of the world's first successful cloning
of human embryos for the medical use of extracted stem cell
material.

nodal axis 07:09
The Moon squares Mars 14:16
The Moon sextiles Jupiter  16:18


Tomorrow  all the planets in the the solar system except Mars
and Jupiter seem to knock one another about astrologically.

David Cameron UK Prime Minister is under political and astrological
pressure this month. He has had, last week, transiting
Jupiter square Pluto and Saturn square natal Moon 
(which returns in August), and today he has Jupiter square Saturn.
Jupiter is conjunct his Midheaven on July 7th, which could be a
defining moment in his career.
The Tory Party chart has its heavily gibbous progressed Moon
enter Libra on May 28th 2013. This Moon is a progressed Full Moon
opposite Neptune on September 1st 2014. In addition transiting
Saturn is conjunct natal Tory Sun on Christmas Eve 2013, May 15th 2014,
and on the Autumn Equinox September 21st 2014. The UK Conservative
party has a severely climatic immediate future.
 
Today the first quarter Moon in Virgo, gaining in light and motion
squares Jupiter  01:56
The Moon earth trines Mars  02:23
The day continues in Virgo 'work mode'.
The Moon earth trines the Sun becoming void 16:49
The Moon enters Libra 17:08
The Sun enters Gemini 21:11 and a new astrological month starts.
Uranus square Pluto  23:01

State of the sky:-The Sun enters Gemini today. There are
29 days to the Solstice. We are still in the full fury of an eclipse
season. There is a Penumbral Lunar Eclipse, the first of Lunar Saros
150, in 5 days.


The Sun and Mars are in Taurus.
Mercury, Venus and Jupiter are in Gemini, thirteen degrees between them.
 
Mercury is now a fast moving direct 'evening star' in Gemini.

Mercury next turns retrograde on June 26th 2013.
Mercury is conjunct Venus twice this year, May 24th at 19 Gemini,
and on June 21st at 22 Cancer. These two are then conjunct opposite
this point at 23 Capricorn on Jan 7th 2014.

Venus is now an evening 'star' in  Gemini. She is conjunct
Mercury at 19 Gemini on May 24th, and is conjunct Jupiter on
May 28th at 23 Gemini and enters Cancer on June 3rd. Venus in
Gemini is light and communicative. Affections are divergent
and multifarious. 
Venus is now visible at evening dusk. 
Venus is soaring upward toward Jupiter and will catch up with
the king planet in late May 2013. After Venus and Jupiter’s
conjunction on May 28, Venus will continue to climb away from
the setting sun, and Jupiter will sink toward it. Jupiter will
leave the evening sky on June 19, whereas Venus will adorn in
the evening sky for the remainder of 2013.
You probably won’t see Mars in the morning sky until sometime
in July 2013. Your first time may well be when Jupiter catches
up with Mars in the morning sky on July 22. 
 
Mars is in Taurus until the end of May. 
Mars leaves Taurus for Gemini on May 31st.


Uranus and Pluto are again at their square aspect. The 3rd
of 7 of these squares occurs today. The seven squares started in
June 2012 and finish in March 2015. Most of the current global
trauma can be correlated to this planetary phenomenon.

The astrological 'wave of the week' is the penumbral lunar eclipse
on Saturday followed by the 'love fest' of Mercury, Venus and
Jupiter, conjunct in Gemini one week from now, May 27th 28th.
Mercury, Venus and Jupiter will be conjunct at 23 degrees Gemini.
A very jolly time is in store.

Yesterday more than 70 people were killed and many more
wounded by car bombs and suicide attacks in one of the
worst days of violence in Iraq in recent months. Iraq's
progressed Moon is currently hitting the opposition of
Venus and Saturn in her natal chart. Progressed Moon is
opposite progressed Saturn. Sinister.

The search for victims of the gigantic tornado that struck an
Oklahoma City suburb continues into a second day, with 24 people
confirmed dead. The ACG map below shows the planetary situation
at the moment of maximum eclipse of the Solar Eclipse on May 10th.
 

The near vertical lines represent how Saturn rising and Mars
setting straddled Oklahoma. The band of lines traversing the
map show how exact the local azimuth coordinates of the Moon,
the Sun, Mercury and Mars were at that moment near exact.
All four bodies had azimuth coordinates of 284-285 degrees. All
four bodies would have appeared to be in a vertical line up from
the horizon in roughly midway between west and west-north-west
at 5, 8, 10 and 10 degrees of altitude. Startling. Check out the
other astro-blog sites for further insight into this event.

At the moment the tornado reached Moore Oklahoma, on Monday
the Moon was shortly to rise, 3 degrees beneath the horizon,she 
was rising on the Oklahoma state eastern border,  but of more import
was the Mars/Saturn midpoint almost exactly on the local
Ascendant/Mid heaven midpoint at 14 degrees Leo. Of course every
point on earth will undergo that local midpoint transit every day,
where the significance lies here is that Mars and Saturn were
themselves almost in hard 165 degree 'quindecile' aspect, that's
11/24 of a circle at this time. Their midpoint was exactly
45 degrees from both the local ascendant and local Mid heaven.
The harsh and violently destructive force symbolised by these
two planets was focussed on an Oklahoma suburb in the form of
a record breaking tornado at that moment. It's a mercy only 24
were killed, maybe the kindly Venus/Mid heaven midpoint conjunct
Jupiter softened the death toll.

Today the rapidly waxing gibbous Moon in Libra air trines Jupiter
becoming void 07:36
The day follows in an intensifying pregnant limbo.
Lunar pressures are rising. 
Jupiter biquintiles the lunar node  10:11
Venus quinquncx the lunar node  17:33
The Moon enters Scorpio 20:56, joining Saturn there.

A man was be-headed and two were injured after a  machete attack
in Woolwich, south-east London, which government sources said
was being treated as a suspected terror incident. This incident
occurred at 14:20 BST on Wednesday. Mars was trine the Virgo
Ascendant and Jupiter was almost conjunct the Gemini Mid Heaven.
We possibly have an opportunist violent attack attracting notoriety.
The Uranus/Neptune midpoint was exactly conjunct the ascendant
suggesting a localised manifestation of a fanatical and delusionary act. 
The event seems connected to the Lunar Eclipse next Saturday when,
at the moment of maximum eclipse, the Moon is almost exactly setting
(9 minutes of arc above the horizon) at Woolwich.  

The United Kingdom (1801) chart had transiting Mars square Saturn
yesterday which is savage, and transiting Saturn was square the
Sun/Pluto midpoint throwing up a ruthless event involving martyrs
of their own ideas. Saturday's Lunar Eclipse is square the UK natal
Pluto. This remarkable event in Woolwich can be viewed astrologically
as pre-eclipse trauma.

An intense day is in store.

Yesterday was bromming with news stories. Afghan security forces
battled insurgents for several hours in the centre of the capital,
Kabul, following an attack claimed by the Taliban.

Two men were held on suspicion of endangerment of an aircraft after
RAF jets were scrambled to escort a Pakistan Airlines plane in UK
airspace.

Reinforcements of specially trained police were sent to Stockholm
after five nights of unprecedented rioting in the capital's suburbs.

A powerful earthquake struck off the Kamchatka peninsula in the
far east of Russia, briefly triggering a tsunami warning.

These events occured as the Moon approached today's Lunar Eclipse.


FULL MOON   04:26
May 25th 2013.  First eclipse in Saros series 150. 
A slight penumbral eclipse centred on 04:10 GMT
 occurs at 4 degrees Sagittarius.
First eclipse in lunar Saros series 150



http://ancientlights.org




Today's eclipse is very significant for the reason it is
the very first eclipse in Lunar Saros 150. This Saros
series lasts right up to the year 3275. It
comprises of 71 eclipses including 21 penumbral eclipses,
38 partial eclipses and 12 total eclipses. The Saros peaks
with the longest Total Lunar Eclipse on July 7th in the
year 2680. 

The chart above is not only the chart of today's eclipse,
describing its quality, but also that of the complete Saros
Series. I have arbitrary set it for London. We see the 
eclipsed Moon in early Sagittarius near her ascending node 
square Neptune, with a tight Mercury Venus conjunction only
3 degrees from Jupiter in Gemini Saturn trines Neptune and
of course Uranus squares Pluto. This last aspect spoils what
would otherwise be a lively and potentially merry time if
not a trifle disorienting with the Moon square Neptune. Air
and mutability predominate. Movement and change are inherent.

At the moment of maximum eclipse the Moon sets and the Sun
rises over the UK. The Moon exactly sets at Lancaster, Paris
and at Tripoli. The Moon is at lower culmination and it is
high noon at Beijing. The Mercury Venus conjunction is 
culminating at Vladivostok, Mercury rises at Amsterdam and at
Koln. Pluto rises at Minneapolis, Jupiter rises at Cairo and
at Mogadishu and is at lower culmination at Rio.


The next  Lunar Eclipse is a Partial Eclipse on
October 18th 2013 in Aries. The next Total Lunar Eclipse
is on April 15th 2014 in Libra, not visible from the UK.
The next Total Lunar Eclipse visible from the UK occurs during
the early hours of Monday September 28th 2015 at 5 Aries,in 
855 days time a 'must-see agenda item'. Pencil it in.

After the eclipse the Moon squares Neptune  06:20

The day continues dominated by the wake of the eclipse.

The Moon 'fire trines' Uranus  16:02

State of the sky:-The Sun reaches 7 degrees Gemini today. There are
25 days to the Solstice. We are now starting to pull out of the
recent eclipse season. 


The Sun, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter are in Gemini.
 
Mercury is now a decelerating 'evening star' in Gemini.

Mercury next turns retrograde on June 26th 2013,
Mercury reaches 'repeatable territory' on June 10th and
he slows to an apparent speed of less than a degree per day on
June 11th.
Mercury is conjunct Venus twice this year, May 24th at 19 Gemini,
and on June 21st at 22 Cancer. These two planets vare then conjunct
opposite this point at 23 Capricorn on Jan 7th 2014.

Venus is now an evening 'star' in  Gemini. She is conjunct Jupiter 
tomorrow at 23 Gemini and enters Cancer on June 3rd. Venus in
Gemini is light and communicative. Affections are divergent
and multifarious. 
Venus is now visible at evening dusk and will adorn in
the evening sky for the remainder of 2013.
You probably won’t see Mars in the morning sky until sometime
in July 2013. Your first time may well be when Jupiter catches
up with Mars in the morning sky on July 22. 
 
Mars is in Taurus until the end of May. 
Mars leaves Taurus for Gemini on May 31st.


The astrological 'wave of the week' is a watery grand trine
involving Mercury, Saturn and Neptune which starts to build
up on Friday and peaks one week tomorrow. This planetary
pattern will influence music, art and emotion. Open your
heart, turn on your love light.

We are still very much in the wake of eclipses. Yesterday EU
foreign ministers were discussing whether to ease the arms
embargo on Syria as France said there were "growing suspicions"
of chemical weapons use.
More than 50 people were killed in a series of car bomb
explosions in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, as a spate of
violence continues.
It was reported yesterday that five severely disabled stroke patients
showed signs of recovery following the injection of stem cells into
their brain. It seems we are in the time of advances in stem cell
science.  

Today the fast but decelerating Moon in Capricorn reaches
disseminating phase 09:05

The day is in the main a tougth talking affair. The

The astrological ether is clearer and lighter, 5 bodies are now in
air signs. The Syrian civil war however grinds on. The outside
world too is in conflict as to how to deal with the 2 year old war.
During this time, Syrian rebels have begged the world to arm them as
they try to overthrow a four-decade dynasty. Now, European Union
countries may be stepping up to that call. In response Russia 
says it will deliver S-300 anti-aircraft missiles to Syria to deter
foreign intervention.
The Syrian conflict began on 15 March 2011, just 2 days after the
ingress of Uranus into Aries. Uranus resides there until May 2018.

News stories 'thin on the ground' yesterday.
Today the decelerating disseminating Moon in Aquarius, setting
locally before noon, glides and wanes easily. She air trines
Jupiter  14:02, Venus at 17:22 and Mercury at 23:38.
This is essentially a smooth and light vibration.
The Moon squares 'spoil sport' Mars at 23:58, becoming void
for just over half an hour.

Subtle changes today. The Moon, Mercury and Mars change signs.
The decelerating Moon approaching last quarter, enters Pisces
00:31, joining Neptune there. Today has a buzzy but dream like
character. Things 'move on' today.

Mercury enters Cancer  07:08
Mercury will reside in Cancer right up to August 8th. His agenda
is extensive and he will undergo his retrograde period from June
26th to July 20th. Prior to his station in 27 days time he forms
a water grand trine with Neptune and Saturn on June 3rd and 4th,
opposes Pluto and squares Uranus on June 7th and 8th, trines
the lunar node on June 12th and is overtaken by Venus at
22 Cancer on the solstice day. He turns retrograde 5 days later.
This prolonged residence in Cancer will give rise to shrewd
thinking and thrift oriented decisions. A careful and deliberate
period not without some tears.


Moon conjunction Neptune  09:55

Mars enters Gemini  10:40, joining, the Sun, Venus and Jupiter
in this sign. Mars will reside in Gemini for 44 days. He squares
Neptune on June 7th and sextiles Uranus on June 17th. He enters
Cancer on July 13th. Many pots on the boil with this one.


The Moon trine Saturn  10:55
The Moon is at last quarter  18:59

We are limbering up to an important 'watery grand trine' planetary
pattern involving Mercury, Saturn and Neptune, peaking in 3 days
time and which then modulates as Venus takes over from Mercury.
The 'effects' or at least the 'sympathetic reaction' from this
event, may well be in the form of events of noteworthy human
intercourse, a wondrous story, (Mercury Neptune). The consequence
of what is about to unfold is of great significance(Saturn). 
The modulation is to a more heartfelt conclusion.
A ripple in the sea of tranquility.

Today as the wave approaches, the Last Quarter decelerating Moon
in Pisces trines her node  04:11 conferring a continuing dream
like quality
The 2nd decant Gemini Sun approaching the Mars Jupiter midpoint
is 'waxing 150 degrees' Pluto 08:41. Important manoeuvering. 


The Moon squares Jupiter  20:19, much too much.

Sunday 2 June 2013
A water grand trine
involving  Mercury, Saturn and Neptune
starts today, peaks on June 4th
lasts to June 10th.

There is a touch more 'Fire' now, the dreamy nature of the 
past couple of days has given way to more urgency.

Yesterday Turkish police said more than 900 people were
arrested and 79 people injured in the worst protests for years.
The protests were anti-government. Transiting Saturn is conjunct
the Turkish natal Sun this month and by the end of the month
Jupiter is conjunct the Turkish Moon. Seriously testing times are
part and parcel of the story of that country right now.

Hundreds of protesters yesterday returned to the streets of
Istanbul and Ankara, with the PM accusing some elements of 
trying to undermine democracy. Transiting Saturn is conjunct
the Turkish natal Sun this month and by the end of the month
Jupiter is conjunct the Turkish Moon. Uranus is square natal
Pluto. Seriously testing times are part and parcel of the
story of that country right now. 

Venus enters Cancer  02:14, joining Mercury in this sign.
Venus will reside here for only 24 days. She joins Saturn
and Neptune in the watery geand trine on June 7th. She
then joins Uranus and Pluto in cardinal T-square on June 11th
and 12th. She trines the lunar node on June 16th and is
conjunct a slow Mercury on June 21st. She enters Leo on
June 27th.

Moon square Pluto  03:13
Moon conjunction Uranus  04:40 (2.63 degree orb)
Moon sextile Sun  06:48
Mercury trine Neptune  19:19

State of the sky:-The Sun is at 13 degrees Gemini today. There
are 18 days to the Solstice. We are now pulling out of the
recent eclipse season. 

A watery grand trine, involving Mercury, Saturn and Neptune
is manifest strongly in the skies of Earth.
The Sun, and Jupiter are in Gemini. Mercury and Venus are in
Cancer.
 
Mercury is now a decelerating 'evening star' in Cancer.
Mercury next turns retrograde on June 26th 2013,
Mercury reaches 'repeatable territory' on June 10th and
he slows to an apparent speed of less than a degree per day on
June 11th.
Mercury is conjunct Venus twice this year, May 24th at 19 Gemini,
and on June 21st at 22 Cancer. These two planets are then conjunct
opposite this point at 23 Capricorn on Jan 7th 2014.
Mercury will reside in Cancer right up to August 8th. His agenda
is extensive and he will undergo his retrograde period from June
26th to July 20th. Prior to his station in 23 days time he forms
the water grand trine with Neptune and Saturn on June 3rd and 4th,
opposes Pluto and squares Uranus on June 7th and 8th, trines
the lunar node on June 12th and is overtaken by Venus at
22 Cancer on the solstice day. He turns retrograde 5 days later.
This prolonged residence in Cancer will give rise to shrewd
thinking and thrift oriented decisions.


Venus is now an evening 'star' in  Cancer, and is now visible at
evening dusk and will adorn in the evening sky for the remainder
of 2013. mentioned above She is arrayed with Saturn and Neptune
in watery geand trine on June 7th. She then joins Uranus and Pluto
in cardinal T-square on June 11th and 12th. She trines the lunar
node on June 16th and is conjunct a slow Mercury on June 21st.
She enters Leo on June 27th.

Mars is now in Gemini. He squares Neptune on June 7th and sextiles
Uranus on June 17th. He enters Cancer on July 13th. Many pots on
the boil with this one.
You probably won’t see Mars in the morning sky until sometime in
July 2013. Your first time could be when Mars catches up with
Jupiter at 6 degrees Cancer in the morning sky, on July 22nd.
Both planets in grand trine with Saturn and Neptune, and then
one week later the watery grand trine becomes the
'Mystical Grand Sextile'. A time long looked forward to.
  

The astrological 'wave of this week' as the watery grand trine
'crashes out' all week with Venus taking over from Mercury, is
the rather difficult New Moon on Saturday (June 8th) which
occurs as Mars is square Neptune and quincunx Saturn, and Mercury
opposes Pluto and squares Uranus. At the exact moment of New
Moon, Saturn rises over SE England.
It looks as if we have an ominous wave to surf first.

Tuesday 4 June 2013
The watery grand trine involving
Mercury,Saturn and Neptune is
ringing out.
The watery grand trine is now at its peak.

A fire has killed at least 119 people at a poultry processing plant
in north-east China's Jilin province, with reports that factory
exits were locked. Looking at the Oct 1st 1949 chart for China we
can see it is under effect from the last two lunar eclipses. On May
31st Saturn trined the China ascendant at 6 Aquarius, a point which
was squared by the April 2013 lunar eclipse. The May 2013 lunar
eclipse was conjunct natal Chiron, often a harbinger of disaster
and tragedy I have found, quincunx natal Uranus. China's Chiron, and
her ascendant are natally in 'yod formation' with the focus on Uranus
close to the 'health and safety' 6th house cusp. This continues to be
a major issue with China.

Yesterday Syrian government forces regained control of the
strategic town of Qusair, near the Lebanese border, the army and
the rebels confirm.

Activists in Turkey demanded the sacking of police chiefs over the
violent suppression of protests, as striking workers joined the
demonstrations.
 
The old slow decelerating Moon in Taurus is void of course all
day today. There are no lunar or planetary aspects.There is a bit
of a lull today. Jupiter is on the Sun Venus midpoint as today ends.
Luxury, romance, and the pursuit of happiness is the mission. 

Despite the building up of a favourable water grand trine involving
Venus, Saturn and Neptune, several other more sinister aspects are 
now applying. Tomorrow looks very difficult as Mars squares Neptune
and Mercury hooks into the Uranus Pluto square.

The grand trine in water peaks again today with Venus,
Saturn, and Neptune. We are dealing here with potent
astrological energies. There is much 'going down' now.
Today is the day before the New Moon.

Today's New Moon at 18 degrees Gemini occurs as
Venus, Saturn and Neptune form a watery grand
trine. Mercury forms a cardinal T-square with
Uranus and Pluto. Mars squares Neptune and Venus
opposes Pluto. The Sun, the Moon, Mars and Jupiter
are in Gemini. We have on our hands quite a 
powerful set of aspects indicating both turbulence
and opportunity. The source of both lies with human
communication and with personal and shared feelings.
Air and Water predominate, we have effervescence, fizz,
froth and feeling.

This new moon directly hits the natal Sun of Johnny
Depp, Ray Illingworth, Joan Rivers, Nancy Sinatra,
Boz Scaggs, Derek Underwood, Julie Driscol, Kayne
West, Bonnie Tyler and Nick Rhodes. All these
folk are flagged up for important new changes in
their lives over the forthcoming year. 
The New moon also hits the natal moon of Iraq, the
natal Mercury of Paul Macartney, and Cuba. The natal
Venus of Kevin Pieterson, the natal Mars of Michael
Portillo, the natal Uranus of David Bowie and the Sun
Uranus conjunction in the Italian chart.

At the exact moment of New moon 15:57 GMT today the
Moon is rising at Honolulu, setting with the Sun
at Baghdad and at lower culmination with the sun at
Manila. Pluto culminates at Melbourne, Neptune aligns to
Hong Kong and to Toronto. Saturn rises over SE England,
over Madrid and over Rabat. At Ankara the Sun and the
Moon are square the local Midheaven, Mars is setting
2.5 degrees above the local horizion. Conflict and
strife hovers over the country.  


Today's New Moon is the first New Moon following the 
Annular Solar eclipse in Taurus on May 10th 2013 and
the 5th before the Annular/Total solar Eclipse in
Scorpio on November 3rd 2013. With its passing we
are leaving the current eclipse season.

After the New Moon moment is over the infant Moon
applies in a long conjunction to Jupiter. Mercury
applies in awkward square to Uranus, we have a restless
jumpy time.

State of the sky:-The Sun is at 19 degrees Gemini today. There
are 11 days to the Solstice. We are all but out of the
recent eclipse season. 


The Sun, Mars and Jupiter are in Gemini. The Moon, Mercury
and Venus are in Cancer.
 
Mercury is now a decelerating 'evening star' in Cancer. He
next turns retrograde on June 26th 2013. Mercury reaches
'repeatable territory' today and he slows to an apparent
speed of less than a degree per day tomorrow. Mercury is
conjunct Venus twice this year, May 24th at 19 Gemini, and
on June 21st at 22 Cancer. These two planets are then conjunct
opposite this point at 23 Capricorn on Jan 7th 2014. Mercury
will reside in Cancer right up to August 8th. His agenda is
extensive and he will undergo his retrograde period from June
26th to July 20th. He trines the lunar node on June 12th and
he is overtaken by Venus at 22 Cancer on the solstice day.



Venus is now an evening 'star' in  Cancer, and is now visible at
evening dusk and will adorn in the evening sky for the remainder
of 2013. She joins Uranus and Pluto in cardinal T-square on June
11th and 12th. She trines the lunar node on June 16th and is
conjunct a slow Mercury on June 21st.She enters Leo on June 27th.

Mars is now in Gemini. He  sextiles Uranus on June 17th. He enters
Cancer on July 13th. Many pots on the boil with this one.
You probably won’t see Mars in the morning sky until sometime in
July 2013. Your first time could be when Mars catches up with
Jupiter at 6 degrees Cancer in the morning sky, on July 22nd.
Both planets in grand trine with Saturn and Neptune, and then
one week later the watery grand trine becomes the
'Grand Sextile'. A time long looked forward to.
  

The astrological 'wave of this week' is the waning trine aspect of
Saturn and Neptune which peaks tomorrow and forms the backbone of
much astrologically that is to follow in the weeks ahead, including the 
Grand Sextile on July 29th.

An ex-CIA employee says he acted to "protect basic liberties for
people around the world" in leaking details of US phone and
internet surveillance. Edward Joseph Snowden (born June 21, 1983)
pictured above was born on the Summer Solstice in 1983, so maybe
a Gemini Sun with Mercury, north node and Mars there. His Moon
is almost gibbous in Scorpio and his Mars in Gemini is trine a
heavy weight conjunction of Saturn and Pluto in Libra. He has 3
planets in Sagittarius, two of which, Jupiter and Uranus were
hit by last month's lunar eclipse catapulting him into the 
limelight and into the fray. With 9 bodies in fire and air
signs a Venus in Leo we have a fearless courageous libertarian
in our sight. God bless him.  


The young Moon is void all day, slowly waxing in Cancer.
Venus is opposite Pluto in rather worrisome rapture.
Emotional overtones and some insecurity will abound today.

Venus is all of a sudden hooked into a tight cardinal T-square
with Uranus and Pluto with the square to Uranus peaking tonight
(GMT). Today may well witness uncompromising (Moon in Leo) crazy
scenes (Venus opposite Pluto square Uranus). The 19th harmonic
is significantly strong over the next couple of days, and this
harmonic is considered to relate to abstract thinking. All in all
we have an interesting if not a touch erratic day on our hands.

Turkey appears to be dominating the world stage right now.
Clashes between Turkish protesters and police continue in
Istanbul's Taksim Square, despite the PM's warning that he will
not back down. Transiting Saturn is now exactly conjunct the
Sun in the Turkish National chart.

Police fire tear gas and water cannon amid fresh Turkish unrest,
as PM Recep Tayyip Erdogan's supporters hold a huge rally in
Istanbul.
                                    

Turkish PM Recep Tayyip Erdogan born February 26th 1954. Sun in
Pisces, Moon in Sagittarius, heavily mutable, much water, no
Earth, natally Sun square Mars trine Saturn, Mercury conjunct
Venus in Pisces. Very much a product of his followers, maybe
should have stuck to football management.
Transiting Neptune conjunct natal Sun starting next year. 
Inevitable dissolution.


Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu warns against "wishful thinking"
after reformist-backed Hassan Rouhani is elected Iran's
president.


New Irani President Hasan Rouhani born Nov 12th 1948. Strong
Sun in Scorpio square Pluto. Mars trine Pluto. Adept and ruthless.
Transiting Saturn conjunct his Sun Dec 2013 to Sept 2014, probably
serving to strengthen and consolidate.

State of the sky:-The Sun is at 26 degrees Gemini today. There
are 4 days to the Solstice. We are all but out of the
recent eclipse season. 


The Sun, Mars and Jupiter are in Gemini. Mercury and Venus
are in Cancer.
 
Mercury is now a decelerating 'evening star' in Cancer. He
turns retrograde in 9 days time on June 26th 2013. Mercury is
conjunct Venus twice this year, May 24th at 19 Gemini, and
on June 21st at 22 Cancer. These two planets are then conjunct
opposite this point at 23 Capricorn on Jan 7th 2014. Mercury
will reside in Cancer right up to August 8th. His agenda is
extensive and he will undergo his retrograde period from June
26th to July 20th. He trines the lunar node on June 12th and
he is overtaken by Venus at 22 Cancer on the solstice day.



Venus is now an evening 'star' in  Cancer, and is now visible at
evening dusk and will adorn in the evening sky for the remainder
of 2013. She is conjunct slow Mercury on June 21st.
Venus(magnitude – 3.8) is gaining altitude very gradually, low
in evening twilight. Look for it in the west-northwest.
Mercury has closed to just 2° or 3° from Venus, but Mercury is
fading fast: from magnitude +0.6 on the 15th to +1.6 on the 22nd.
Look for it to Venus's upper left (for mid-northern observers)
early in the week, directly left around June 16th and 17th, and
below Venus by the 20th. She enters Leo on June 27th.

Mars is in Gemini. He  sextiles Uranus today. He enters
Cancer on July 13th. Many pots on the boil with this one.
You probably won’t see Mars in the morning sky until sometime in
July 2013. Your first time could be when Mars catches up with
Jupiter at 6 degrees Cancer in the morning sky, on July 22nd.
Both planets in grand trine with Saturn and Neptune, and then
one week later the watery grand trine becomes the
'Grand Sextile'. A time long looked forward to.
  

The astrological 'waves of this week' are the Summer Solstice
on Friday and the Full Moon in Capricorn on Sunday morning (GMT).

Significant geocentric harmonic 16 around 12:00 GMT. At this
time Mercury Jupiter and Neptune are in 16th harmonic conjunction
as are Saturn and the Lunar south node. The Moon squares Venus 
and Mercury. The 16th harmonic has to do with inner motivation,
today's wave seems of 'social motivation'.

Comet Ison.
From January through May Comet ISON brightened hardly at all,
remaining stuck at magnitude 16 or 15 and falling nearly two
magnitudes behind the early predictions. It became lost in
twilight around the end of May and won’t be back in view
until the end of August. Indications are that it will not be
'the comet of the century', but we will see.

Yesterday under peace making Moon in Libra vibrations,
and the Mercury Venus conjunction in Cancer, and an
impending Sun Jupiter conjunction in Cancer, the US
announced that it is to open direct peace talks with the
Taliban after more than 10 years of war in Afghanistan.

In resonance, G8 leaders back called for Syrian peace talks
to be held in Geneva "as soon as possible", without
mentioning the fate of President Bashar al-Assad.

Also Mali's government signed a peace deal with Tuareg
rebels to help pave the way for elections next month.


Today there is still significant geocentric harmonic 16

manifest around 06:00 GMT. As we approach the Solstice
this 'personal ambition' harmonic strengthens.

Sun enters Cancer  05:05
At this Solstice, Jupiter is moving to form an important water grand trine
with Saturn and Neptune.
Mars and Jupiter are 14 degrees from their conjunction.




The Sun reaches his maximum declination north of the equator at
05:05 GMT today and 'enters' the tropical zodiac sign of Cancer.
The solstice marks the mid winter point in the southern
hemisphere and mid summer in the north. The Moon is void of course
accelerating in late Scorpio and is gibbous. Mercury is approaching
his station, Venus is today in conjunction in Cancer to Mercury.
Saturn trines Neptune, Uranus squares Pluto. 
This solstice marks an intense and 'heartfelt' moment in  time. The
heart rules the head right now. Actions are multifarious and light
with Mars in Gemini but sentiment and feelings run high with five
bodies in water signs. This is a solstice of promise and commitment.

At the exact moment of Solstice the Sun is culminating at Singapore
and is rising at Kineshma. The Moon rises at Melbourne. Venus rises 
at Inverness and at Venice, Uranus rises at San Juan. Jupiter is at
lower culmination at Washington DC. Mercury and Venus culminate
over Korea, where all now is fairly sweet after the belligerent verbals
earlier in the year. At Damascus however the ascendant is square Saturn
and the Mid heaven squares Venus and Mercury. Troubles are set to
continue here.

After the Solstice moment has passed the Moon enters Sagittarius 08:32

The day which follows is free spirited and adventuresome.
We are living and breathing between Solstice and Full Moon
The time is high.

The Moon squares Neptune  17:05

An intense solstice, a nearly full Moon, Mercury approaching station,
and Mercury conjunct Venus in Cancer, all conspired to evoke the
following events.  
The death toll in floods in the northern Indian state of Uttarakhand
more than double after 550 bodies were seen buried in "slush". 

Pollution levels reached a new record high in Singapore, as smoky
haze from fires in Indonesia shrouded the city state for the
third day in a row. Singapore was 'starred' at the solstice moment
yesterday as high noon coincided there.  

Authorities ordered the evacuation of central Calgary as flooding
left swathes of the Canadian city underwater and forced 75,000
people from their homes. The Canadian natal chart has transiting
Jupiter conjunct natal moon right now and the lunar node is about
to oppose natal Pluto. 

Brazil's President Dilma Rousseff held an emergency cabinet meeting,
a day after more than a million people joined nationwide protests.
I am of the opinion that the current unrest is a manifestation of the
Full Moon on Sunday conjunct Brazil's Uranus Neptune conjunction,
and that it will quickly pass. Dimla Rousseff has transiting Neptune
opposite natal Mars this year. That transit always undermines everything.
Right now she is energized as Mars sextiles her Pluto. Mars opposes
her Sun on July 1st.

Let it be.

Today the very rapidly waxing, nearly full Moon in Sagittarius,
trines Uranus  04:10
The Moon then opposes Mars 09:15
The day continues...just one day between Solstice and Full Moon.
Consider it a holy day.
The full Moon waxes in a day long opposition to Jupiter, himself
about to ingress Cancer shortly after midnight on Wednesday morning.

The times, they are a-changing again and better days they are ahead.

SUPER FULL MOON in CAPRICORN   11:33
THIS FULL MOON FORMS A KITE PATTERN
WITH SATURN AND NEPTUNE.


http://filhodelogunede.blogspot.com

Rapidly following on from the majesty of the solstice
we now have this spectacular Full Moon in Capricorn
which falls in resplendent planetary kite pattern with
Saturn and Neptune.
Today's Full Moon is the first Full Moon following the
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse on May 25th 2013 in Sagittarius,
and the 4th lunation before the Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
in Aries on October 18th 2013.

The Full Moon in Capricorn is a 'Super Full Moon' because
it occurs on the day when the Moon is perigee, i.e. nearest 
the earth in the monthly cycle. The disc of the Moon will
appear large and low in the northern skies, large and high
in the southern hemisphere. 

The planetary kite which today's Full Moon forms will serve
to harness great artistic, creative and emotional energy. The
time is of great import. Five bodies are in water signs, hence
the emotional nature of the time, six are in Cardinal signs
which 'generates' events and experiences. Today's Full Moon
is remarkable. Change and transformation will follow in the
wake of this 'Planetary Kite Super Full Moon'.

At the moment of Full Moon today the Moon is shortly to rise
at Bangkok, and is setting at Dallas and at Santiago where
Jupiter also rises. The Moon is at lower culmination under
Bern and Koln. Saturn rises at Baghdad and culminates over
Korea. Uranus culminates at New York, Mercury at Istanbul.
Pluto rises at Hong Kong and Mars rises at Los Angeles.

focussed on the UK, Europe and north west Africa, see map below.

State of the sky:-The Sun is at 3 degrees Cancer today. There
are 87 days to the Autumn Equinox. We are out of the recent
eclipse season. 


The Sun, Mercury and Venus are in Cancer. Mars and Jupiter are
in Gemini. 
 
Mercury is now a decelerating 'evening star' in Cancer. He
turns retrograde in 2 days time on June 26th 2013. Mercury
will reside in Cancer right up to August 8th. His agenda is
extensive and he will undergo his retrograde period from June
26th to July 20th. 


Venus is now an evening 'star' in  Cancer, and is now visible at
evening dusk and will adorn in the evening sky for the remainder
of 2013. She is gaining altitude very gradually, low
in evening twilight. Look for it in the west-northwest.
Mercury has closed to just 2° or 3° from Venus. She enters Leo
on June 27th.

Mars is in Gemini.  He enters Cancer on July 13th. Many pots are
on the boil with this one. You probably won’t see Mars in the 
morning sky until sometime in July 2013. Your first time could
be when Mars catches up with Jupiter at 6 degrees Cancer in the
morning sky, on July 22nd. Both planets in grand trine with 
Saturn and Neptune, and then one week later the watery grand
trine becomes the 'Grand Sextile'. A time long looked forward to.
  

The astrological 'wave of this week' is the ingress of Jupiter 
into Cancer on Wednesday some 12 hours before Mercury turns
retrograde and the Sun forms a grand trine with Saturn and Neptune.

Jupiter  enters Cancer  01:41

Jupiter will reside in Cancer for just over
a year. During that time this gas giant will
make three waning trine aspects to Saturn in
Scorpio attempting to evoke a stabilizing and
nurturing influence on government and on society.
The rub however is the planetary T-square which 
Jupiter makes with Uranus and Pluto, firstly in
August 2013, then again at the end of January and 
February 2014, but especially on April 20th 2014
when this mighty T-square is as tight as can be.
These are conflicting energies at work in society,
which will induce popular protest and uprising
and possibly result in changes of administration.
Politic and policy will be directed towards further
cutbacks and economy drives, pressure will directed 
towards national self sufficiency and eco-sense.
Changes can be also expected in the housing sector of
society, in agriculture and in care.
The first planetary event of this residence is the 
conjunction of Mars and Jupiter at 6 degrees Cancer on
July 22nd at the time of the full moon, quite a day.
Jupiter will leave Cancer for Leo on July 16th 2014. 




The rapidly waning still 'hung over' Moon in Aquarius,

MERCURY TURNS RETROGRADE 13:09
He will be retrograde for 25 days. He is at Inferior 
Conjunction with the Sun at 18 degrees Cancer on July 9th.
He makes no aspects to planets whilst retrograde but trines
the lunar node on July 16th. He turns direct at 13 degrees
Cancer on July 20th. As he turns retrograde today, the Sun 
makes a water trine with Saturn and Neptune, when he turns
direct on July 20th it is the turn of Mars to form a grand
trine with Saturn and Neptune. What you sit back and accept
today will actually get you moving in 25 days time!

July 1st, trines Uranus on July 8th and squares the lunar node
on July 9th. She enters Virgo on July 22nd. She regally complements
Mars who is in Gemini during most of this this period. This is a
fine combination. Venus in Leo is lavish in affection and generosity.
This is a good period for recreation and fun.

inducing all manner of about turns and altered plans. Saturday has
an emotional drift 'till early afternoon, the rest of the weekend
is 'pushy'.

You can see the 12th harmonic helio centric in the helio
table above with the Earth, Venus, Mars, Saturn, Uranus
and Pluto all at 8-9-10 degrees of their respective
helio signs. This unusual arrangement lasts over the next
few days. The helio-centric, 'sun-centred' perspective is
currently energised. This 12th harmonic involves two 'yod'
patterns suggesting the energies at work are difficult for
the soul to handle. Strong 12th harmonics always involves
yods.

Venus is square Saturn today. Some bleak misgivings about.

The slow last quarter Moon in Aries sextiles Mars 05:28
Moon square retro-Mercury  becoming void 06:49 and remaining
that way for over 11 hours.
Venus square Saturn  17:04
Moon enters Taurus  21:44

State of the sky:-The Sun is at 10 degrees Cancer today, and is
almost opposite Pluto. There are 80 days to the Autumn Equinox.
We have left the recent eclipse season far behind.

We are now living astrologically within a very watery planetary
atmosphere. Jupiter in Cancer is forming a mighty grand
trine in water signs with Saturn in Scorpio and Neptune in
Pisces. This situation will last well into August. Emotions
are at an all time high during these weeks. This period is a
time to learn how to cope with intense emotion.
  

The Moon is new one week from today. That New Moon is 
the second New Moon following the Annular Solar eclipse in
Taurus on May 10th 2013 and the 4th before the Annular/Total
solar Eclipse in Scorpio on November 3rd 2013.

The Sun, Mercury and Jupiter are in Cancer. The Moon and Uranus
are in Aries. Ten degrees separate Mars and Jupiter. 
 
Mercury is now a retrograding 'evening star' in Cancer. Mercury
will reside in Cancer right up to August 8th. His agenda is
extensive and he will undergo his retrograde period from June
26th to July 20th.
 

Venus is now an evening 'star' in Leo, and is now visible at
evening dusk and will adorn in the evening sky for the remainder
of 2013. She is gaining altitude very gradually, low
in evening twilight. Look for her in the west-northwest. She
squares Saturn today, trines Uranus on July 8th and squares the
lunar node on July 9th. She enters Virgo on July 22nd. 


Mars is in Gemini.  He enters Cancer on July 13th. Many pots are
on the boil with this one. You probably won’t see Mars in the 
morning sky until sometime in July 2013. Your first time could
be when Mars catches up with Jupiter at 6 degrees Cancer in the
morning sky, on July 22nd. Both planets in grand trine with 
Saturn and Neptune, and then one week later the watery grand
trine becomes the 'Grand Sextile'. A time long looked forward to.
  

Amid the dominating energy of the grand water trine mentioned
above, the astrological 'wave of this week' is that of the Sun
forming a cardinal T-square with Uranus and Pluto for most of
this testing week. Is a difficult one to negotiate.

All eyes are on Egypt. The New Moon next Monday at 16 degrees
Cancer is tightly square Egyptian (14th March 1922 chart) natal
10th house Jupiter in Libra. At the moment of this New Moon the
Cairo ascendant is trine Pluto, Neptune squares the Cairo
Mid heaven and Uranus/MC midpoint is hit by Mars. If it was not
for the soothing influence of Venus on the Sun and
New Moon/local ascendant midpoint I might predict total confusion,
overthrow, rebellion and armed response, but this last influence
may just save the day. Do the Egyptians know what they want?
I suppose the economy is at the heart of the matter as transiting
Jupiter is now exactly square Egyptian natal Venus. Transiting Mars
squares Egyptian natal Sun as today ends. If military action is
unleashed as threatened, and the imminent Mars in Gemini transit
suggests it could be, it will be a fast moving affair. The New Moon
on Monday suggests a measure of confusion and some hope.


Today the Sun shines in difficult cardinal T-square with Uranus and
Pluto.
The slowly waning old Moon in Taurus is opposite her north node 01:06
The Moon sextiles retro-Mercury becoming void 15:52
A bit of a slog, and some harshness about.

Yesterday Egypt's army unveiled a roadmap that suspended the
constitution and saw its democratically-elected president,
Mohammed Morsi, forced from office. This occurs as transiting 
Jupiter squared Egyptian natal Venus and transiting Mars 
squared Egyptian natal Sun. (See yesterday's note)

Today he slowly decelerating Moon, void of course in Taurus, reaches
her balsamic phase 04:03
The Cancerian Sun squares Uranus 06:23
The Moon enters Gemini 09:23, joining Mars in that sign.
Lots of mixed messages today, double meanings and fickleness.

Mr. Adly Mahmud Mansour was sworn in as interim leader of Egypt.
The swearing in occurred 08:37 to 08:42 GMT in Cairo. Mars was
exactly culminating there.  Mansour born Dec. 23rd 1945 was born
in eclipse season, 3 days after a Total Lunar Eclipse. He is a
stalwart Sun Capricorn with Moon in Leo/Virgo. Jupiter tightly
squares Saturn in his chart. He is 'the rule of law'.

Today the aged slow Moon in Gemini sextiles Venus 03:38
Mars waxing quintile Uranus 10:09
The Moon sextiles Uranus  10:37

Venus in Leo waxing semi square Mars in Gemini 15:09
The Venus Mars cycle is always a source of interest to me.
The pair were last in conjunction on April 7th this year, at
20 degrees Aries. The main event in the UK at that time, in fact
the day after, was the death of Margaret Thatcher. Venus and Mars
are next conjunct on Feb. 22nd 2015, at 2 degrees Aries. The two
planets are in waxing square between the end of September 2013
and mid May 2014. That period will be really testing for Man Woman
relationships. Today's aspect invokes 'demonstrations' of love
and dispassion. It's gritty.

The Sun trines the lunar node 15:23

The weekend ahead mellows to a 'homely home experience'
by Sunday. Saturday is the day to flit around.

Significant geocentric harmonic 9 during the mid morning GMT.
Jupiter is 80 degrees ahead of Uranus, that's 2/9 of a circle.
Venus trines Uranus this morning and of course Saturn trines
Neptune at this time, hence the emphasis on 3rd and 9th harmonics.
This harmonic is especially strong on Wednesday.

Venus trine Uranus  00:15
Moon trine her node  01:53
SATURN TURNS DIRECT  04:21


State of the sky:-The Sun is at 17 degrees Cancer today.
There are 83 days to the Autumn Equinox.
We have left the recent eclipse season far behind.

We are living astrologically within a very watery planetary
atmosphere. Jupiter in Cancer is forming a mighty grand
trine in water signs with Saturn in Scorpio and Neptune in
Pisces. This situation will last well into August. Emotions
are at an all time high during these weeks. This period is a
time to learn how to cope with intense emotion.
  

The Moon is new today.

The Sun, Moon, retro-Mercury and Jupiter are in Cancer. 
Seven degrees separate Mars and Jupiter. 
 
Mercury is now a retrograding 'evening star' in Cancer. Mercury
will reside in Cancer right up to August 8th. He is at Inferior 
Conjunction with the Sun at 18 degrees Cancer tomorrow.
He makes no aspects to planets whilst retrograde but trines
the lunar node on July 16th. He turns direct at 13 degrees
Cancer on July 20th.
 

Venus is now an evening 'star' in Leo, and is now visible at
evening dusk and will adorn in the evening sky for the remainder
of 2013. She is gaining altitude very gradually, low
in evening twilight. Look for her in the west-northwest. She
trines Uranus today and squares the lunar tomorrow.
She enters Virgo on July 22nd. 


Mars is in Gemini.  He enters Cancer on July 13th. Many pots are
on the boil with this one. You probably won’t see Mars in the 
morning sky until sometime in July 2013. Your first time could
be when Mars catches up with Jupiter at 6 degrees Cancer in the
morning sky, on July 22nd. Both planets in grand trine with 
Saturn and Neptune, and then one week later the watery grand
trine becomes the 'Grand Sextile'. A time long looked forward to.
  

The astrological 'wave of this week' is today's New Moon.


NEW MOON in Cancer   07:15

New Moon conjunct retro-Mercury,(a close 0.15 degree orb)
trine lunar node, square Uranus.
Mars Jupiter now 6 degrees from conjunction.

Today's New Moon is the second New Moon following the 
Annular Solar eclipse in Taurus on May 10th 2013 and
the 4th before the Annular/Total solar Eclipse in
Scorpio on November 3rd 2013.

At this time Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune are in watery
grand trine, 6 bodies are in water signs and the New
Moon herself is conjunct retro-Mercury and square
Uranus. Venus trines Uranus.

At the moment of New Moon the Sun and Moon are culminating
at Mumbai, and setting near Melbourne. Uranus sets at Kabul.
A Venus lunar node Paran occurs at Bangkok, Saturn is at
lower culmination for the UK.
The New Moon is tightly square Egyptian (14th March 1922 chart
natal 10th house Jupiter in Libra. At the moment of this New Moon
the Cairo ascendant is trine Pluto, Neptune squares the Cairo
Mid heaven and Uranus/MC midpoint is hit by Mars. Venus is on
the Sun and New Moon/local ascendant midpoint. 

Today's New Moon is conjunct the natal Saturn of Jamie Oliver
and the natal Uranus of Michael Portillo. It falls close to
the natal Moon of Kate Middleton, who will give birth during this 
lunation, and it hits astrological points in the charts of other
members of the British royal family. It is square Prince William's
natal Saturn and square Prince Charles Venus Neptune conjunction.
It directly hits the Queen's natal Pluto Node midpoint. 
All pretty hard hitting and important signs and portents. 

Today is the birthday of Beck Hansen, Monty Donn and Jaden Smith.


After the New Moon moment has passed the baby Moon is conjunct
retro-Mercury  becoming void  at 11:45.
Venus squares the lunar node  22:15

Yesterday Egyptian interim leader Adly Mansour expressed 
"deep sorrow" over the deaths of at least 51 people near a Cairo
barracks, and urged restraint.
The Egyptian Independence chart (March 14th 1922, the first of
three Egyptian charts listed in Nicholas Campion's 'the Book of
World Horoscopes')has had transiting Jupiter in Cancer being
active over the last week squaring natal Venus and natal MC.
The gas giant will square natal Saturn (July 18th). On 21st July
the transiting lunar node squares natal Neptune, Progressed Moon
in Aquarius sextiles progressed Mars and Jupiter creeps up to
natal Pluto. This last transit occurs on July 31st 2013. These
all spell outlandish reactions, confusion, defiance and
sweeping change. 


Today the slowly accelerating infant Moon enters Leo 10:49,
joining Venus in that sign. So,the Sun, Mercury and Jupiter are in
Cancer and the Moon and Venus are in Leo. 
Mercury is in Inferior Conjunction with the Sun 18:42
This is the 10th Inferior Conjunction of Mercury before a
'transit of Mercury' across the disc of the Sun on May 9th 2016.

Mercury receives his 'solar impregnation of seed ideas'. This
is an outstandingly good time to meditate on new beginnings. Think
but don't act.
The young Leo Moon squares Saturn 20:28

Yesterday six people died and 22 others were badly hurt when a
train left the rails and ploughed into a station platform south
of Paris.
  
Flights resumed at Heathrow Airport after runways were closed for
90 minutes due to a fire on a parked Ethiopian Airlines Boeing
787 Dreamliner jet.

Mercury is retrograde, applying square to Uranus in Aries, not to be
consummated. Still more upsets and delays ahead.

The waxing crescent Moon in Virgo sextiles her node 00:08,
forming a finger of fate with Uranus at this time.
Moon sextile retro-Mercury  04:31
Venus waxing semi square Jupiter  07:54

Mars enters Cancer  13:23
Mars will reside in Cancer for 46 days. During that time he
trines Neptune and Saturn on July 20th. Two days later on July
22nd he is conjunct Jupiter at 6 degrees Cancer. On July 27th
he is opposite Pluto and he squares Uranus on August 1st. There
is therefore  danger within the enchanting time of the grand
sextile (July 29th). Mars trines the lunar node on August 1st. 
Mars enters Leo on August 28th.

 
The Virgo Moon sextiles the Sun becoming void of course 15:27.

Significant geocentric harmonic 9 around 18:00 GMT

Mars and Jupiter are low in the east-northeast during early dawn.
Jupiter is far and away the brightest at magnitude –1.9. Look just
upper right of it for Mars, magnitude +1.6. Binoculars help.
Jupiter is drawing closer to Mars daily. They'll pass just 3/4°
apart on the morning of July 22nd.

Cancer. Mars Mercury and Jupiter are all there. The astrology
over this next week speaks of energy directed homewards.
All that matters is at 'home'.

State of the sky:-The Sun is at 24 degrees Cancer today.
There are 66 days to the Autumn Equinox.
We have left the recent eclipse season far behind.

We are living astrologically within a very watery planetary
atmosphere. Jupiter in Cancer is forming a mighty grand
trine in water signs with Saturn in Scorpio and Neptune in
Pisces. This situation will last well into August. Emotions
are at an all time high during these weeks. This period is a
time to learn how to cope with intense emotion.
  

The Sun, Mars, retro-Mercury and Jupiter are in Cancer.
These four remain in Cancer for another week. 
Mars now less than 3 degrees from his conjunction with
Jupiter. Mars catches up with Jupiter at 6 degrees Cancer
in the morning sky, on July 22nd. Both planets in grand trine
with Saturn and Neptune,and then one week later the watery
grand trine becomes the 'Grand Sextile', July 29th 2013.
A time long looked forward to.
  
Mercury is now a retrograding 'morning star' in Cancer. Mercury
resides in Cancer right up to August 8th.
He makes no aspects to planets whilst retrograde but trines
the lunar node tomorrow. He turns direct at 13 degrees
Cancer in 5 days time on July 20th.
 
Venus is now an evening 'star' in Leo, and is now visible at
evening dusk and will adorn in the evening sky for the remainder
of 2013. She is gaining altitude very gradually. She enters
Virgo on July 22nd. 

Mars is in  Cancer. He trines Neptune and Saturn on July 20th.
Two days later on July 22nd he is conjunct Jupiter at 6 degrees
Cancer. On July 27th he is opposite Pluto and he squares Uranus
on August 1st. This is the danger period. Also on August 1st he
trines the lunar node. Mars enters Leo on August 28th.  

The astrological 'wave of this week' is the the near exact grand trine in
water signs of Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune. This pattern manifests very
strongly all week.

Moon trine retro-Mercury  14:31

Jupiter trines Saturn  17:33
This waning trine is the first of three between
Jupiter and Saturn. The other two are on Dec 13th
2013 and May 24th 2014. All involve Cancer and
Scorpio. Strong emotional footings are being set
at these times. This first one is probably the
important one being tied in with Mars and Neptune
in grand trine. The time is indeed special.
They precede the 'Great Conjunction' of Jupiter
and Saturn on the Winter Solstice 2021.

This one off aspect is the waxing trine of the cycle which began
with a conjunction of Jupiter and Neptune in Aquarius in 2009-2010.

The rapidly waxing Moon in Sagittarius squares Neptune 02:06
Strong geocentric harmonic 9 12:00 to 18:00 GMT

Saturn trine Neptune  13:18
This is the last of 3 waning trines between these two planets
which have been active since Nov 2012. The 36 year cycle of
Saturn and Neptune started in 1989 in Capricorn. The waning
square phase of the cycle is in 2015-2016 and the cycle ends
with their conjunction at 1 degree Aries in Feb. 2026. The
current waning watery trine aspect has provided an artistic,
musically creative and visionary period amid much global trauma. 
A great many works of art will have originated from the time of
this aspect.
With the passing of today's Saturn Neptune trine, almost the final
piece of the planetary grand trine jigsaw of the current time is in
place. Mars will complete the picture this weekend. 


The Moon hits gibbous phase, the procession to the full starts 13:46
Moon trine Uranus  14:32
Mars is about to conjunct Jupiter, Mercury is about to turn direct
and the grand watery trine of Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune wheels
above the world. The time is indeed very special.

Such is the time that a British Royal Baby may choose to be born.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the resumption of peace
e talks with the Palestinians is a "vital and strategic
interest" for Israel. This must be a manifestation of the
planetary Grand Water Trine. Blessed be.



Mercury is now direct in motion. His apparent speed reaches 1

The almost Full Moon is void of course all day up to 18:08

Mars conjunction Jupiter  07:36 (0.78 degree orb). This conjunction
occurs every 2 to 3 years and is always a punchy 'event producing'
aspect. The previous conjunctions were on May 2011 in Aries, Feb
2009 in Aquarius and Dec 2006 in Sagittarius. The next couple are
on 17th October 2015 in Virgo, and Jan 7th 2018 in Scorpio.

Significant geocentric harmonic 9 around 12:00 GMT

Venus enters Virgo 12:42.
Venus resides in Virgo for 25 days. Venus is now an evening 'star'
in Virgo,and is now visible at evening dusk and will adorn in the
evening sky for the remainder of 2013. She is gaining altitude very
gradually. She opposes Neptune and sextiles Saturn on July 26th.
Venus sextiles Jupiter on July 28th, trines Pluto on July 30th then
sextiles the lunar node and sextiles Mars on August 2nd.
Venus enters Libra on August 16th.The Sun entered Leo  15:57 and a new astrological month begins.

The Full Moon enters Aquarius 18:08

FULL MOON IN AQUARIUS  18:17
quintile Uranus.

Today's Full Moon is the second Full Moon following the
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse on May 25th 2013 in Sagittarius,
and the 3rd Full Moon before the Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
in Aries on October 18th 2013. 
This Full Moon forms an enlightening and an awakening
waxing quintile to Uranus and is applying in a
conservative square aspect to Saturn. At this time Mars
is conjunct Jupiter and they form a grand trine in water
signs with Saturn and Neptune. The time is full and rich
with feeling and emotion. Water and cardinal signs
predominate. Mercury now moving slowly direct is in orb
of an unsettling square to Uranus, but fears prove
ungrounded as Mercury pulls away from the influence.

At the moment of Full Moon 18:17 GMT, the Moon rises at
Florence, Mars and Jupiter tightly align to the Midheaven
of Los Angeles. Saturn rises at Atlanta and Saturn
culminates over England. Serious issues in the UK are
likely during the next few weeks.

Today's Full Moon tightly hits the Sun in the Greece National
Chart, Venus in the chart of Madonna, Mars in the chart of
George Clooney, Uranus in the Tunisian chart and Neptune in
the chart of Terry Wogan.



Tuesday 23 July 2013
We now know that the  British royal baby boy has Sun sign
Cancer. Moon in Capricorn.  Scorpio rising. Virgo Midheaven.
Venus conjunct the royal star Regulus,(see graphic above) now
in Virgo, Mars conjunct Jupiter in Cancer.
The child was born on the day of the Full Moon
just as his mother Kate Middleton was. His father was born
at New Moon. Both parents were born on eclipse days. The
current Full Moon is not an eclipse.

This child has a very watery horoscope, indicating
an essentially emotional and sensitive nature, with
no planets in air signs, so he will unconsciously
seek out this element in others. He has  only one
planet, Uranus in a positive sign in the 5th house,
indicating an essentially self-repressive nature,
whose sports and loves are full bodied. This native
is a serious minded intense character. The Sun was
at the very end of Cancer in the 9th house, indicating
an inner need to travel and study, and he is quite at
home with pomp, tradition and formality. He has a 'void
of course' 3rd house Full Moon in Capricorn. He will
have pride and a strong sense of duty.
Corresponding to the Full Moon he was born under he
will lead life to the full and be in possession of
great reserves of energy.
He has a massive total of 7 planets in cardinal signs,
which will make him something of an instigator, and his
instigations will be within the culture, finances and
traditions he is born into.
Mercury, Mars and Jupiter are in Cancer in the 8th house.
Scorpio rises, Virgo is on the Midheaven. We have an
artistic, scholarly historian here. A profoundly private
person, intense and willful, a force to be reckoned with
but one true to his inheritance and at one with his own
destiny.
The child's Sun and Full Moon lines were aligned to Lhasa,
Lima and Alice Springs. His Mars Jupiter lines were aligned
to Koln, Prague, Tehran and Perth. His Venus Neptune line
was aligned to Wellington NZ. His Saturn line was aligned to
San Francisco, Daressalem and to Nairobi where the Full
Moon was exactly rising. He would be advised to avoid Nairobi.
Jupiter was on the Midheaven of New York and Venus rose at
Los Angeles. Serious wealth, fame and fortune within the USA.

Yesterday as Mars was conjunct Jupiter and the Full Moon
climaxed the following news stories broke.


Hundreds of Iraqi inmates broke out of two prisons near Baghdad
after gunmen launch a military-style assault, killing at least
20 security forces personnel. The Mars Jupiter conjunction was
square the Iraq Republic chart Midheaven. The Full Moon fell
on the Iraqi Uranus/Ascendant midpoint.


Two powerful earthquakes struck China's north-west Gansu
province, killing at least 75 people and leaving more than 400
others injured. The first quake occurred 23:46 GMT (Sunday). The
lunar nodal axis was exactly aligned to the local Prime Vertical
axis of the epic entre, with the lunar south node conjunct the
local Midheaven. Globally the Lunar Node was in an exact grand
trine with Chiron and Mercury. Pluto was almost due West at the
epic entre with the Mars Jupiter conjunct within 3 degrees of
due East.

It is so good as an astrologer to have an accurate and reliable
birth time to work with. Such is the case with British royal
babies. We can, with good grace, compassion and a scientific open
mind, correlate the events of these people's lives with
the passage of planetary motion throughout their lives.

I continue to be amazed by the Cancer-Capricorn, New
Moon - Full Moon and Eclipse interplay at work in this current
royal mother, royal father and royal baby astrology. Prince
William eclipsed Sun and New Moon in Cancer. Kate Middleton Sun
Capricorn, Total Lunar Eclipse and Full Moon in Cancer.
Baby Cambridge Sun Cancer and Full Moon in Capricorn.

At the moment of Full Moon on Monday, the baby's birthday,
Saturn was culminating in Scorpio over the UK. The symbolism
is quite clear. Saturn stamps an emphatic hallmark on the nation.
The structure and establishment of the Monarchy is preserved and
reinforced. 
This Full Moon also directly opposed Jupiter in the UK(1801) chart
giving rise to great jubilation, excess, and social celebration
in the UK at the present time. The world watches us with a 
measure of awe.
Now then, it is quite rare to have an eclipse occur on one of
your birthdays in a life time. The Queen for example will never
have an eclipse on any of her birthdays. Looking up to 2050
Prince William had a Total Solar Eclipse on his 19th birthday on
June 21st 2001. That same year Kate Middleton had a Total Lunar
Eclipse on her 19th birthday on Jan 9th 2001. They first met in
September 2001!
This is a not Saros cycle phenomena, that cycle is 18 years 11 days,
rather it is a 'calendar coincidence' at work, but astrologically
very pertinent. There is an Annular Solar Eclipse on William's 38th
birthday in 2020 and another in 2039 on his 57th birthday. Kate has
no more eclipse birthdays up to 2050. I am pleased to report that!
Baby Cambridge has a Total Solar Eclipse on his 15th birthday,
on July 22nd 2028, and a Partial Solar Eclipse on his 35th birthday
on July 22nd 2047. Both eclipses are focussed on Australia and New
Zealand. Interesting don't you think?


 
Today the Moon is void of course in Aquarius. 
Venus is applying in opposition to Neptune, peaking on Friday.
Mars is applying in opposition to Pluto, peaking on Saturday.
The Sun is applying in square aspect to Saturn, peaks on Sunday.
On Monday we have the 'Grand sextile'. A full agenda, fasten
your cosmic safety belt.

arrayed in the skies of Earth on Monday July 29th 2013
involving Pluto in Capricorn, Neptune in Pisces, the Moon in Taurus,
Jupiter and Mars in Cancer and Venus in Virgo. The hexagon is formed
in feminine (Earth and Water) signs of the tropical zodiac.
Astrological Chart set for London below.
This time was first pointed out to me by Derekdjwilliams@aol.com.

State of the sky:-The Sun is at 14 degrees Leo today.
There are 46 days to the Autumn Equinox.
We are midway between eclipse seasons and almost midway between
solstice and equinox.
 
The Moon, Mercury Mars and Jupiter are in Cancer. The Sun is
isolated in Leo.

The very old, very slow but accelerating Moon in Cancer is
conjunct Mercury becoming void 06:50 and remaining that way for
10 hours.
The Moon enters Leo 16:59 and is New tomorrow.

Mercury is now a direct 'morning star' in Cancer, back up
to full apparent  speed and in new territory. Mercury enters Leo on
August 8th. He is at Superior Conjunction with the Sun on
Aug 25th. Mercury next turns retrograde on October 21st at
18 degrees Scorpio.
 
Venus is an evening 'star' in Virgo, and is now visible at
evening dusk and will adorn the evening sky for the remainder
of 2013. She is gaining altitude very gradually. She enters Libra
on August 16th. 

Mars is in Cancer. Mars enters Leo on August 28th. 

Jupiter is opposition Pluto on Wednesday and is square Uranus on the 
day of the next Full Moon, August 21st. During this time Jupiter is 
trine the lunar node. This opposition is a dark affair with the
emphasis on war and changes of power. The T-square with Uranus adds
a more revolutionary and violent edge. We are in for difficult times.

In keeping with this looming T-square twenty-one US embassies and
consulates, mostly in the Middle East, were closed throughout Sunday
amid fears that al-Qaeda may be planning an attack.
The astrological 'Wave of the Week' is the colourful New Moon in Leo
tomorrow.

For most of today the very ancient Moon slowly 'fading' in Leo
creates 'an old Moon day'. There is a general feeling of things
having run their course.
The Moon squares Saturn 03:55
The Moon squares her nodes 16:55
The Moon 'fire trines' Uranus 17:30

There is always a surge of motivation after the time of
New Moon.

NEW MOON in LEO becoming void 21:52
The New Moon is weakly square the lunar node and trine Uranus.
JUPITER IS OPPOSITE PLUTO.

Today's New Moon is midway between the Annular
Solar eclipse in Taurus on May 10th 2013 and
the Annular/Total solar Eclipse in Scorpio on 
November 3rd 2013.

At this time the skies are dominated by Jupiter
opposite Pluto, and Saturn trine Neptune. The 
New Moon is separating from a trine to Uranus
and is on the Venus/Jupiter midpoint.


At the moment of New Moon the Sun and Moon are
shortly to rise at Hong Kong. The Moon is at
lower culmination at Cairo. The Sun and Moon
at lower culmination straddle Ankara. Saturn
sets at Tripoli. Pluto rises at Washington DC.
Pluto rises and Jupiter sets at San Salvador.
Jupiter rises at Kabul. Mercury rises at Bangkok.
In the UK Pluto culminates and Jupiter lower
culminates on Wales, Scotland and SW England.

Today's New Moon directly hits the natal Sun of
the Ivory Coast, the natal Venus (and Saturn) of
India and of Pakistan, the Venus of Zardari Bhutto,
Yingluck Shinawatra and Edward Snowden, the natal
Mars of China, Hilary Clinton, and the Vatican, 
the Jupiter(and Node) of Roger Walters, the Saturn
of Orlando Bloom and the natal Pluto of South Korea,
Burma, Dilma Rousseff and Robert Plant. 

The New Moon hits the Venus Jupiter midpoint so
there is a note of 'luxury and romance' sounding
out.
The tiny new infant moon is now void of course
for the remainder of today and all of tomorrow.

The new baby infant Moon is void of course in Leo all day today.
Helio-centic Venus is conjunct Saturn.

At 08:21 GMT today the Sun reaches 15 degrees Leo. We are then
exactly half way between the June Solstice and the September
Equinox. In the northern hemisphere summer is starting to wane.
In the south the season of 'stirring' is starting.


Mercury waxing biquintile Neptune  14:17
Sun waning biquintile Pluto  19:22
Jupiter opposition Pluto  23:46

This is the first of 3 oppositions of these two in the 13 year cycle
which started at 28 Sagittarius in Dec 2007. The other two oppositions
are Jan 31st 2014 and April 5th 2014. The cycle ends in 2020.
The Jupiter Pluto cycle in astrology is said to be synchronised with the
ebb and flow of power structures (civil and political) in societies and
in the global community as a whole. The opposition period underway at
this time is by nature a time of 'fullness' of power structures, a point
of climax before the inevitable waning of the 'plutocratic' structures,
and a manifestation of a polarisation of opposites in affairs of 'state'.

The slow and accelerating infant Moon enters Virgo 03:58 joining
Venus in that sign.

Mercury as a morning star enters Leo 12:14 joining the Sun in
that sign.
At last after a lengthy 68 day residence in Cancer Mercury now
shifts into Leo and will remian there for a mere 15 days.
Mercury will square Saturn on August 11th, square the lunar node
on August 14th and trine Uranus on August 15th. Mercury flees 
into Virgo on August 23rd. Mercury is at Superior Conjunction
with the Sun on Aug 25th. Mercury next turns retrograde on
October 21st at 18 degrees Scorpio.
Mercury in Leo represents a straight forward manner of
communication with the emphasis on 'self at the centre'. We have
a couple of weeks of formative and creative communications.

The intense Scorpionic Moon of the last couple of days has 
invoked several high intensity events.

Yesterday Egypt declared a state of emergency after scores were
killed in Cairo, as security forces stormed the camps of Muslim
Brotherhood supporters. The current Jupiter Pluto opposition 
forms a cardinal grand square with the nodal axis in the Egyptian
chart(14/03/1922 Cairo 22:43 GMT). Last week's New Moon was a
degree from Egyptian Neptune and (I rarely use Solar Arcs but
this one hits me in the face!) Solar arc Mars is conjunct natal
Uranus in 3 days time. Also transiting Pluto is sextile Egyptian
Uranus. With all of these astrological correlations we
have here a cauldron of crazed revolutionary energy unleashed.


Indian Defence Minister AK Antony described two huge explosions
and fire on an Indian submarine berthed in Mumbai as a "shocking
tragedy".
A suicide bomb at a cafe in central Iraq  killed at least 16
people and wounded another 35.


Today the first quarter Moon, gaining in light and motion enters
Sagittarius 01:05
Mercury fire trines Uranus 02:11
The Moon squares Neptune  08:25
 
Today there are 4 bodies in Fire signs so expect a lively one.


The Moon, Mercury and Uranus are in a fire grand trine
21:00 to 01:00. Inventive, cerebral, exciting.

Moon trine Uranus  21:49

Geocentric Venus is on the Sun Saturn midpoint.

Today the rapidly waxing Moon in Sagittarius 'fire trines' Mercury  01:01
Mercury semi-square Venus  06:24
Mercury biquintile Pluto  15:15

Venus enters Libra  15:38
Venus resides in Libra for a mere 25 days and her residence is far
from easy and harmonious. She forms a cardinal cross with Pluto
Jupiter and Uranus, squaring Pluto on 24th Aug, opposing Uranus on
Aug 26th and squaring Jupiter on Aug 27th. Those few days will be
extremely difficult for human relationships. Venus enters Scorpio
on September 11th.

The Moon fire trines the Sun becoming void 17:33
Sun waning quintile Saturn 19:04
The weekend ahead is dogmatic, hard hitting and pretty ruthless.

Three days to the Full Moon. Lunar tensions are rising. Yesterday
under the moon beams of a gibbous Capricorn hard hitting Moon:-

Egypt's security forces  cleared a Cairo mosque, 
after a long stand-off with Muslim Brotherhood supporters
barricaded inside.

At least 31 people died and around 170 are missing after a ferry
with more than 800 on board collided with a cargo ship in the Philippines.

Yesterday at least 24 Egyptian policemen were killed in an attack
near Rafah in the troubled Sinai peninsula. 
37 people crossing the tracks at a remote train station in the
northern Indian state of Bihar were killed after being hit by an
express train.
At least 105 people have died in days of torrential rain and
devastating floods in north-east and southern China.

Comet ISON is not brightening as much as expected as it zooms
toward the sun, an amateur astronomer has reported, dealing a
blow to skywatchers hoping for a spectacular show from the icy
wanderer during its close solar approach this November.
ISON, which almost immediately after its discovery last September
was branded as a "comet of the century" candidate, now seems in
jeopardy of completely disintegrating before skimming just
724,000 miles (1.16 million kilometers) above the surface of the
sun on Nov. 28.
Since early June, ISON has been unobservable because of its close
proximity to the sun in our sky. The comet is now slowly moving
out of the bright solar glare and is becoming better placed for
viewing in the morning, low in the eastern sky just before
sunrise.

FULL MOON again in Aquarius becoming void 01:46

http://www.keen.com


  
Today's Full Moon is the 3rd Full Moon following
the Penumbral Lunar Eclipse on May 25th 2013 in 
Sagittarius and the penultimate Full Moon before the 
Penumbral Lunar eclipse in Aries on October 18th 2013.
This Full Moon directly falls 2 degrees from the
Egyptian natal Mercury, so dialogue must start there.
The Brazilian ascendant is hit, Brazil's 'image' is an
issue regarding forthcoming FIFA football world cup and
Olympic games. The UK conservative party Jupiter and the
Cameron government Neptune are singled out. Also Neptune
in the Mars probe 'Curiosity' chart is hit.  

At the moment of Full Moon Mars rises over the UK. This
'injection' of impetus goes hand in hand with the the
Full Moon contacts to the Cameron Government chart and
the Tory Party chart. The Conservatives may get a boost
as transiting Neptune currently erodes the Labour Party
Saturn in Pisces.
Elsewhere Saturn is tightly square the local ascendant at
Cairo.

The nature of today's Full Moon is 'extrovert power struggle.'
This is an expressive lunation. Actions are bold brash and
unrefined.
The dominant planetary theme of the current time is the
tightening Cardinal Cross involving Jupiter, Pluto, Uranus
and Venus. The Jupiter Uranus arm of the cross is exact
today and is explained below but Venus will draw them all
together over the next week. We are having to deal with
'new energy' in the form of power struggles and upheavals.
It may well all come to a head. Egypt and Syria are just
the start.  

After the Full Moon has peaked the Moon is void for two
hours. 

Mercury quintile Saturn  02:57
Moon  enters Pisces  04:45
Then the Sun and Mercury are in Leo.
Mars and Jupiter are in Cancer.
The Moon and Neptune are in Pisces.
Jupiter square Uranus  07:16
The Jupiter Uranus cycle has a period of 14 years and is
concerned with 'adventure and discovery' a firm 'astro-
favourite' of mine. The current cycle started in 2010
and 2011 in Pisces and Aries ( a triple conjunction).
Today's waxing square is the first of 3, the other two
being on Feb 26th 2014 and April 20th 2014. Their opposition
is in 2016 and 2017 and their next conjunction is in 2024
and in Taurus.The square aspect between them today is
powerfully hooked into the Venus Pluto square which 
unfortunately perverts to a power struggling meglomaniac
nature to proceedings. It's all cardinal energy. Much will
'kick off'.

Grim news surfaced as the full moon climaxed yesterday.

Attacks using chemical weapons have killed hundreds of people near
the Syrian capital, Damascus, the opposition alliance said.

Japan's nuclear agency upgraded the severity level of a
radioactive water leak at the Fukushima plant from one to three on
an international scale. The Full Moon yesterday fell within a degree
of  Neptune in the Fukushima disaster chart. Transiting Uranus is
sextile Venus in the said chart.

State of the sky:-The Sun is at 4 degrees Virgo today.
There are 26 days to the Autumn Equinox. 

Mars and Jupiter are in Cancer. The Sun and Mercury are
in Virgo. 
Venus, Jupiter and Uranus are in strong cardinal T-square

Mercury is a direct evening star in Virgo. He
sextiles Saturn tomorrow, trines Pluto on Aug 28th,
sextiles the lunar node on August 29th and sextiles Jupiter
on August 31st. Mercury enters Libra on September 9th.
Mercury next turns retrograde on October 21st at 18 degrees
Scorpio.

Venus is also an evening 'star' but in Libra, and is now visible at
evening dusk and will adorn the evening sky for the remainder
of 2013. She is gaining altitude very gradually. Venus's
residence is far from easy and harmonious. She 
opposes Uranus today and squares Jupiter tomorrow.
Venus enters Scorpio on September 11th. 

Mars is at the very end of Cancer. Mars enters Leo on Wednesday.

 The world watches to see what now will happen regarding Syria.
US President Barack Obama says allegations of a chemical weapons
attack in Syria represents a "big event of grave concern".
Meanwhile, Russia joined calls for an "objective investigation"
by UN chemical weapons experts. Foreign Ministry spokesman
Aleksandr Lukashevich said Moscow had urged President Bashar
al-Assad to cooperate with a probe, but also that questions
remained about the willingness of the opposition to provide
"secure, safe access of the [UN] mission to the location of
the incident".
 
Let's look at the astrology of the situation. Assad has a
very tough chart, difficult to displace. The next New Moon is
conjunct his natal Saturn and the next Full Moon is opposite
his Moon. Something is going on here. Saturn is conjunct his
natal Mars in early November, he seems to thrive on such
pressure and he steams on regardless. 


The relationship critical to the affair is that of Putin and
Assad. Transiting Saturn this week is conjunct relationship
Neptune which has put a great strain on their partnership.
Very debilitating. Progressed relationship Mercury is square
progressed Uranus this autumn and Uranus is conjunct
relationship Mercury in October. This double whammy suggests
disruption of communication and misunderstanding, a very
unsettling time for these two together. Transiting Saturn is
opposite relationship Venus in the next week. This could well
put the squeeze on their affection!


Barack Obama is in a bit of a daze. Neptune squares natal Moon
in mid September as Saturn is conjunct natal Neptune. Transiting
Saturn is sextile natal Pluto during the remainder of August. He
looks really in a fog, unable to see the way.


The Syria Baath Party to which Assad belongs has transiting Saturn
conjunct natal Jupiter, Ascendant, Venus and the Sun before the
end of 2013 and into 2014. This suggests major fracture.
The  next Full Moon is opposite Neptune in the Syrian Independence
chart which is foaming confusion, however there is not much else
in this chart until Uranus opposes natal Mercury starting May 2014
and lasting into 2015. All things pass and this may well spell the
greatest change for the country. 

Finally the Obama Putin relationship chart has had transiting
Neptune conjunct relationship Mercury from April 2013 and it
continues to Feb 2014. Neptune then moves on to conjunct their
natal Venus into 2015. No wonder these two have not seen eye to
eye. There is little hope in this relationship, it has run into
oceanic storms of chaos. Last week's full moon was opposite
relationship Pluto, irrevocable splits, and the next full moon
is opposite their Jupiter. Uranus is currently conjunct their IC
and Saturn opposes their Moon and the only glimmer of light in 
their discourse is Jupiter trine relationship Sun mid September 2013.

Yesterday there was bullish rhetoric. American forces are "ready"
to launch a strike on Syria if President Barack Obama gives an
order to attack, US Defence Secretary Chuck Hage said.
In the UK Parliament has been recalled on Thursday to debate the
Syrian government's 'use of chemical weapons' issue.
Yesterday the Moon waned in bullish Taurus. Neptune was at opposition.
Venus squared Jupiter.

Today Mars enters Leo, that's 'full guns a blazing' Leo. It is of
some hope that Mercury currently in Virgo will afford moderation,
realism and circumspection. Venus in Libra holds a fragile 
olive branch. 

The next New Moon is opposite Assad's Saturn and the next Full Moon
is opposite his Moon. Something is certainly going on here.

Today Mars enters Leo  02:06.
Actions with no compromise are ahead.
Mars resides in Leo for 47 days. Mars squares Saturn on Sept 9th,
and squares the lunar node on Sept 11th, so there will be a
tightening of pressure, a slow throttle. Mars is under pressure
from his fixed square to Saturn as we approach September 9th.

Mars trines Uranus on Sept 14th, a very 'flash fire' combo.
Still the opportunity for global community agreements remain. 
Mars leaves Leo for Virgo on October 15th.


On the socio/sexual scene we have for starters Mars in Leo and
Venus in Libra; a very stylish, chic and colourful combination.

Just so it's not forgotten, the use of Chemical Weapons in 
Syria on Wednesday August 21st 2013 occurred on the day of the
Full Moon. The chemical agents were probably released as the
Moon in Pisces was conjunct Neptune. 
At the current time and despite the beating war drums two days
ago, Mercury in Virgo is shedding restraining sense on the west's
response. Syria's leader yesterday said threats of Western
strikes bolster his resolve, as the five permanent UN Security
Council members prepared to meet. In the UK Prime Minister
David Cameron put his case for action against Syria to MPs,
but conceded intelligence that the regime used chemical weapons
was not "100% certain".

Today as the day starts the Moon in Gemini is void, slow but now
accelerating.

Sunday. The old Moon in Cancer couples in to provide a nourishing
time, economically focused, with hints of minor adjustments.

David Cameron and President Barack Obama have discussed
Parliament's block on UK involvement in possible military action
in Syria. The relationship chart of these two men is a tense map.
Mars and Mercury in Pisces, oppose Pluto, really acute and tight.
You get the sense of suffering of the innocents, martyrdom, violence.
To complement this, these two, leaders of their nations, middle aged
fathers and family men have relationship Sun, also in Pisces, their
chart has much movement, and kinetic energy, and also a softer 'Earth
Grand Trine' with Moon in Capricorn trine Venus in Taurus, trine
Uranus in Virgo. Cameron can aid Obama with electronic listening and
communications?
Their relationship progressed Moon is Full in intense Scorpio in early
2014. This time is the pinnacle of these two men's relationship.

There is a Heliocentric T-square crashing out. Mars
Pluto and Uranus are involved, this is now peaking.

As September starts, the Lunar Node and Saturn are applying
to a conjunction in Scorpio, sextile the Sun and sextile
Pluto over the next couple of weeks. There are inevitable
changes in tow. Saturn and the (mean)lunar node are conjunct
on September 25th. A wave approaches.
Venus too is applying in conjunction with Saturn and the lunar
node. This occurs on 18th 19th September, at the time of the
next Full Moon.


The old, slow but accelerating 'Cancer Moon' squares Venus
becoming void 00:08 for 24 hours.

Sun trine Pluto 08:47

The 'void of course' Moon reaches her balsamic phase 12:30
The procession to another New Moon is then underway.

USA Congress is due to reconvene on 9th September, meaning any
military operation in Syria would not happen until then. On that
day Mars is square Saturn. That's a tough aspect. You could even
imagine Saturn winning out and thwarting a vote to action on that
day. Barack Obama goes to Sweden this Tuesday, then on to the G20 in
Russia. The president has transiting Saturn square his natal Sun/Mercury
midpoint on Wednesday which certainly symbolises tough talking, and on
Thursday Jupiter sextiles his natal Mars/Pluto which gives power to his
elbow. On the day of the Congress vote, Mars is square his Neptune, and
the whole period is, as I have previously said, very strongly coloured by
Neptune squaring his natal Moon. Believe me, if his birth time is accurate
this man is deeply troubled and confused at this current season. The
most significant planetary transits occur on 16th and 17th September. 
Mars is conjunct Obama's Sun on the 16th, Saturn and the Lunar Node are
conjunct his Neptune on the 17th. Neptune squares his dazed and confused 
natal Moon on the 18th. God bless the president of America.

Today the slowly accelerating balsamic Moon enters Leo 00:02 joining Mars
in that sign.

There are 19 days to the Autumn Equinox, 46 days to a
penumbral lunar eclipse, 62 days to a Hybrid Total Solar
Eclipse and 110 days to the Winter Solstice. 
The Sun and Mercury are in Virgo. The Moon and Mars are in Leo.

The Moon in Leo, is balsamic and accelerating slowly to New Moon on
Thursday.

Mercury is a direct evening star in Virgo. Mercury enters
Libra on September 9th. Mercury reaches 'repeatable territory' on
October 1st and his apparent speed is below a degree per day on
October 9th prior to Mercury next turning retrograde on October 21st
at 18 degrees Scorpio.

Venus is also an evening 'star' but in Libra, and is now visible at
evening dusk and will adorn the evening sky for the remainder
of 2013. She is gaining altitude very gradually.
Venus enters Scorpio on September 11th. Venus (magnitude –4.0
shines brightly low in the west in evening twilight, far below
Arcturus. Look a little to its left for much fainter Spica early
in the week, then watch Venus close in on Spica every day.
It passes less than 2°above Spica on September 5th. Binoculars help.
Look too for Saturn about 14° upper left of Spica

Mars is in Leo.  Mars squares Saturn on Sept 9th,
and squares the lunar node on Sept 11th, so there will be a
tightening of pressure, a slow throttle. Mars is under pressure
from his fixed square to Saturn as we approach September 9th.

Mars trines Uranus on Sept 14th.  Mars leaves Leo for Virgo on
October 15th.

Saturn and the (mean)lunar node are conjunct on September 25th.
A wave approaches.Venus too is applying in conjunction with
Saturn and the lunar node. This occurs on 18th 19th September,
at the time of the next Full Moon.

We are 3 months from the half way mark in the series of 7 square
aspects between Uranus and Pluto. The 4th square occurs on Nov 1st
and the single Heliocentric square is on November 23rd 2013. The 
7 geocentric squares can be viewed as pre-echos and echos of the
this Helio fundamental square. Most of the current world troubles
are being correlated to Uranus square Pluto over this 3 year period.

Today's New Moon is the 4th New Moon following the 
Annular Solar eclipse in Taurus on May 10th 2013 and
the penultimate New Moon before the Annular/Total
Solar Eclipse in Scorpio on November 3rd 2013.

At this time Saturn sextiles Pluto and Mars applies
in fixed square to Saturn. The New Moon is sextile
Jupiter and is 1.25 degrees from the Venus/Mars
midpoint.

As always with the Virgo New Moon this is a time for
careful choices and and pragmatic consideration.
Today's lunation is essentially positive with shades
of social opportunities, but with Mars tightening on
a square to Saturn there is an underlying harsh edge,
and the feeling that not all is smooth right now. 
The New Moon directly and tightly hits the natal Sun
of Roger Walters, Raquel Welch, Al Stewart, Loundon
Wainwright and Mark Ramprakash, the natal Venus of 
Mick Jagger, the Venus Pluto conjunction of Leonard
Cohen, the natal Jupiter of Joan Collins, and the natal
Saturn of Lindsey Buckingham. This New Moon tightly
opposes the natal Saturn of President Assad and it
squares Saturn in the relationship chart of Barack
Obama and Vladimr Putin.

At the moment of New Moon, the Sun and Moon are 
culminating over Eastern France, Belgium and Holland.
Pluto rises at Baghdad, the Moon culminates at Algiers,
Saturn rises at Recife, the Sun rises at St. Louis,
Uranus is at lower culmination at Cairo. Saturn culminates
over Kumzar. At Damascus at the moment of New Moon Jupiter
is two degrees from a square to the local MC. 

Once the New Moon moment has passed and the new lunation
cycle is underway there is the inevitable 'rush' of slightly
more positive and evolving cerebral sensations. 
The day that follows is 'reasonable' and constructive.

We have two days here which are eminently suitable for
jobs of work that require care and attention to detail.

State of the sky:-The Sun reaches 18 degrees Virgo today.
There are 12 days to the Autumn Equinox, 39 days to a
penumbral lunar eclipse, 55 days to a Hybrid Total Solar
Eclipse and 103 days to the Winter Solstice. 
Mercury and Venus are in Libra. The Moon, Saturn and the
lunar node are in Scorpio. 


Mercury is a direct evening star in Libra. Mercury will
reside in Libra for only 20 days and has a pretty difficult
time there. He hooks into the Uranus Pluto square, squaring
pluto on September 14th and opposing Uranus on 16th. He
sextiles mars on sept. 17th and squares Jupiter on the 20th.
He enters Scorpio on September 29th.  Mercury reaches
'repeatable territory' on October 1st and his apparent
speed is below a degree per day on October 9th prior to
Mercury next turning retrograde on October 21st at 18
degrees Scorpio.

Venus is also an evening 'star' and in Libra, and is now visible at
evening dusk and will adorn the evening sky for the remainder
of 2013. She is gaining altitude very gradually.
Venus enters Scorpio on Wednesday. 

Mars is in Leo.  Mars squares Saturn today, and squares the lunar
node on Sept 11th. Mars trines Uranus on Sept 14th.  Mars leaves
Leo for Virgo on October 15th.

Saturn and the (mean)lunar node are conjunct on September 25th.
A wave approaches.Venus too is applying in conjunction with
Saturn and the lunar node. This occurs on 18th 19th September,
at the time of the next Full Moon.

We are 3 months from the half way mark in the series of 7 square
aspects between Uranus and Pluto. The 4th square occurs on Nov 1st
and the single Heliocentric square is on November 23rd 2013. The 
7 geocentric squares can be viewed as pre-echos and echos of the
this Helio fundamental square. Most of the current world troubles
are being correlated to Uranus square Pluto over this 3 year period.

The 'wave of the week' is a planetary trapezium involving Pluto,
Lunar Node, Uranus and Mars manifests over the next few says and
peaks on Wednesday as Mars is quinquncx Pluto. The energies
involved here are formidably warlike.

As a Russian proposal to strip Syria of its chemical weapons
began to take shape, the White House eased off the gas yesterday
in its drive for congressional approval to strike the Middle
Eastern country.
 President Barack Obama asked Senate Democrats
to delay voting on authorizing military action in Syria while
the diplomatic process works itself out, according to senators
in the meeting. The president "asked for some time to work
things out -- a matter of days into next week,"
Next week will see the Full Moon and a triple conjunction of
Venus, Saturn and the Lunar Node in Scorpio. It looks far from
easy.  
  

Venus enters Scorpio  06:17 today, joining the Moon Saturn and
the Lunar Node in that sign, and remaining there for 25 days.
Venus trines Neptune on Sept 14th,and is conjunct the Lunar
Node and Saturn on September 18th at 9 degrees Scorpio. Venus
sextiles Pluto on September 19th, trines Jupiter on Sept 26th,
and squares Mars on Sept 28th. Venus leaves Scorpio for Sagittarius
on 7th October. Venus in Scorpio with Mars in Leo symbolises a
dynamic and wilful interaction. Fun and games a plenty.

The Moon and Venus are both in Scorpio for 20 minutes.

State of the sky:-The Sun reaches 25 degrees Virgo today.
There are 5 days to the Autumn Equinox, 32 days to a
penumbral lunar eclipse, 50 days to a Hybrid Total Solar
Eclipse and 96 days to the Winter Solstice. 
Venus,Saturn  and the lunar node are in Scorpio. 


Mercury is a direct evening star in Libra. Mercury is
having a pretty difficult.  He sextiles Mars on
Sept. 17th and squares Jupiter on the 20th.
He enters Scorpio on September 29th.  Mercury reaches
'repeatable territory' on October 1st and his apparent
speed is below a degree per day on October 9th prior to
Mercury next turning retrograde on October 21st at 18
degrees Scorpio.

Venus is also an evening 'star' but in Scorpio, and is 
visible at evening dusk and will adorn the evening sky
for the remainder of 2013. She is gaining altitude very
gradually.Venus is conjunct the Lunar Node and Saturn on
September 18th at 9 degrees Scorpio. Venus sextiles Pluto
on September 19th, trines Jupiter on Sept 26th, and squares
Mars on Sept 28th. Venus leaves Scorpio for Sagittarius
on 7th October.   

Mars is in Leo. Mars leaves Leo for Virgo on October 15th.

Saturn and the (mean) lunar node are conjunct on September 25th.


We are 2 months from the half way mark in the series of 7 square
aspects between Uranus and Pluto. The 4th square occurs on Nov 1st
and the single Heliocentric square is on November 23rd 2013. The 
7 geocentric squares can be viewed as pre-echos and echoes of the
this Helio fundamental square. 

The astrological 'wave of the week' is the combination of the
Full Moon in Pisces on Thursday and the the triple conjunction of
Venus Saturn and the Lunar Node in Scorpio. Intense emotion and
significant developments are likely.

Yesterday the UN confirmed "unequivocally" that sarin gas was
used in a rocket attack in Syria last month, branding it a
"despicable war crime".

At least 12 people were killed and at least four injured,
including a police officer, in a mass shooting at the
Washington Navy Yard. The incident occurred at 08:20 EST.
The event seems to have been a product of Mercury opposite
Uranus which had peaked some 7 hours before. Mercury was
rising as Uranus set at Washington DC.

Venus is now two degrees from Saturn in Scorpio. They are
conjunct tomorrow. A serious but stable hue is cast over
our lives today and tomorrow.

FULL MOON in Pisces  becoming void 11:14

all4myspace.com


Today's Full Moon is the 4th Full Moon following
the Penumbral Lunar Eclipse on May 25th 2013 in 
Sagittarius and the ultimate Full Moon before the 
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse in Aries on October 18th 2013.
With its passing we once again enter the 'foothills'
of another eclipse season.

Today's Full Moon makes no major aspects to any
planet and is void from the moment of fullness. At
this time the skies are dominated by the triple
conjunction of Venus Saturn and the Lunar Node in
Scorpio. Pluto is sextile this triple conjunction.
Mercury applies in square to Jupiter, Venus applies
in square to Mars. The resulting 'atmosphere' at
this time is very much vengeful and serious. This
Full Moon is a sea vessel without rudder, compass
and guiding star. There is however will, emotion
and the need to follow and feel.

At the exact moment of Full Moon, Pluto rises at
Damascus and Jerusalem. The Moon is about to rise
at Mandalay and at Rangoon. Mercury culminates at
Johannesburg, Saturn culminates at Dhahran, the Sun
rises at Charleston USA.

Today's Full Moon is conjunct Uranus in Queen Elizabeth's
chart and directly hits Jupiter in the Cameron UK 
Government's chart, Mercury and Mars in the Iran chart,
and the MC in the Nigerian chart.

After nearly 7 hours of titanic voidness during which
people react in herd like or rather shoal like behaviour,
the Moon enters Aries 16:59 joining Uranus in that sign.

Venus conjunct the lunar Node  17:32

72 hours now to the Autumn Equinox.

In the UK we had the mild distraction of UKIP taking disciplinary
action against MEP Godfrey Bloom for making a "demeaning" joke
about female activists. Bloom was born 22nd Nov 1949. The Sun
moved from Scorpio to Sagittarius that day and the Moon from
Sagittarius to Capricorn. (I'd opt for his birth being later in
the day). Yesterday Jupiter was exactly opposite his natal 'slutty'
Venus.

Nigel Farage born April 4th 1964 has the Sun, Mars and Jupiter in
Aries, Moon in Sagittarius. Mercury and Jupiter trine Uranus
yielding some popular support. Uranus will be conjunct his Aries
Sun next year and Pluto will square it in 2015.  


Today the decelerating and waning Moon in Aries opposes Mercury
becoming void 01:27
Saturn sextile Pluto  05:44  
  
The Saturn Pluto cycle has currently a 38 year period. They were last conjunct
  
in the summer of 1982 in late Libra, they were in opposition in 2001-
  
2002 and todays waning sextile aspect, the last of 3, proceeds their
  
next conjunction in 2020 in Capricorn. The other two sextiles were on
  
Dec 27th 2012 and on March 8th 2013. The Saturn Pluto cycle is concerned
  
with the process of crisis, transformation, and destruction of the current system,
  
 authority figures or institutions. Deeply rooted forces are involved here. War and
  
violent control are the manifestations of Saturn Pluto. The current waning sextile
  
aspect offers a brief opportunity to 'deconstruct and withdraw', it appears particuarlly
  
relevant to what is happening in Syria.
  

  
The 'hung over' Moon  enters Taurus  22:34, setting
a resolute determination as the back drop to tomorrow's
Autumn Equinox.

At 20:45 GMT today the Sun crosses the equator and 
enters the tropical zodiac sign of libra. It is the
Autumn Equinox in the northern hemisphere and the
Spring Equinox in the south. At this moment the Sun
is setting at Rio De Janerio.

The Moon at this time some 4 days past the full is
firmly rooted in Taurus and under pressure applying
in fixed T-square with Venus and Mars. Saturn is 
sextile Pluto and of course Uranus is square Pluto.
Saturn and the lunar node are conjunct in Scorpio.
Today is somewhat doom laden with power struggles
and deep entrenchment. The season ahead as set up
by this equinox is tough.

State of the sky:-The Sun reaches 1 degree Libra today.
We are in the 'foothills' of an eclipse season.
There are  25 days to a penumbral lunar eclipse, 43
days to a Hybrid Total Solar Eclipse and 89 days to
the Winter Solstice. 
Venus,Saturn and the lunar node are in Scorpio. 

The Moon slowly waningin Taurus reaches disseminating phase 03:09
Moon fixed square Mars 05:27
Moon sextile Jupiter  becoming void 07:14 and remaining
that way for 24 hours. The next New Moon is on October 5th and is
a tough lunation being in Libra opposite Uranus and square Pluto.

Mercury is a direct evening star in Libra.
He enters Scorpio on September 29th.  Mercury reaches
'repeatable territory' on October 1st and his apparent
speed is below a degree per day on October 9th prior to
Mercury next turning retrograde on October 21st at 18
degrees Scorpio.

Venus is also an evening 'star' but in Scorpio, and is 
visible at evening dusk and will adorn the evening sky
for the remainder of 2013. She  trines Jupiter on
Sept 26th, and squares Mars on Sept 28th.
Venus leaves Scorpio for Sagittarius on 7th October.   

Mars is in Leo. Mars leaves Leo for Virgo on October 15th.


We are 2 months from the half way mark in the series of 7 square
aspects between Uranus and Pluto. The 4th square occurs on Nov 1st
and the single Heliocentric square is on November 23rd 2013. The 
7 geocentric squares can be viewed as pre-echos and echoes of the
this Helio fundamental square.

Yesterday Kenyan officials said they were in the final stages
of bringing to an end the deadly stand-off with suspected
al-Shabab militants at the Westgate shopping complex in Nairobi.
The official death toll stands at 62 and more than 170 have
been injured. There are fears the death toll will rise further.

The Kenyan chart, Dec 12th 1963 00:01 Nairobi, has Uranus conjunct
the Ascendant at 10 Virgo, with Pluto at 14 Virgo. The New Moon on
September 5th 2013 fell at 13 degrees Virgo. Transiting Uranus is
currently retrograding at 11 degrees Aries, inconjunct this area.
Kenya's progressed Moon has recently entered Virgo and is slowly
applying in a conjunction to natal Uranus and Pluto. These peak
next year. The Uranus Pluto theme, dominant at the birth of the
nation and active now, aptly describes the sudden brutal terrorist 
nature of the event.

Protests and vigils are taking place across Pakistan as Christians
demand better protection after suicide blasts have killed at least
80 people at a church. Transiting Mars conjunct Pakistan Venus, 
transiting Venus square natal Saturn and Pluto, transiting Sun
square natal Mars and transiting Saturn square the sun/moon midpoint
have all been active and exact over the past couple of days.

All is all, Saturn sextile Pluto is at work in the world right now
and watch out early tomorrow (GMT) as the Moon forms a deadly
finger of fate with them.

A balmier, breezier day is in store.

Yesterday Barack Obama told the UN General Assembly's annual
meeting that recent moves by Iran offer the basis for a
"meaningful agreement" on its nuclear programme. The Iran
(1979 revolution) chart has transiting Uranus conjunct natal
Sun this year symbolising a 'new awakening'. The last Solar
eclipse on May 10th 2013 was conjunct the Iran MC. Hassan
Rouhani was elected president on June 15th. The Full Moon
last week was conjunct Iran Mercury and Mars. Currently Pluto
trines that Iran MC. Yesterday transiting Mars was conjunct
Iran ascendant as Barack Obama and Hassan Rouhani attended
the assembly for the first time. It bodes well.
Hassan Rouhani (born Nov 12th 1948) has an inspiring transiting
Neptune trine natal Mercury currently and transiting Saturn 
conjunct his natal Sun at end of the year and during 2014,
a period maybe of serious accomplishment.
The Obama/Rouhani relationship chart (I use relationship charts
not composites) is a real eye opener! A fixed cross dominates
a New Moon in Aries. Mars, Saturn, Venus and Pluto form a very
powerful cross. The chart is steamy and brimming with powerful
energy. The world must watch these two carefully. 
Mr Rouhani pulled out of a leaders' lunch on Tuesday, ending
speculation the two could shake hands. Mr Obama's scheduled
departure from the UN later on Tuesday dimmed prospects of a
historic meeting between Mr Obama and Mr Rouhani. However 
bilateral contacts are on the rise. On Thursday, Iran's Foreign
Minister  will discuss its nuclear programme with Mr Kerry
- a rare instance of a formal encounter between the counterparts.



During the first three hours of today the Moon forms a very
tight 'finger of fate' planetary picture with Saturn and Pluto.

A powerful earthquake has killed at least 328 people and wounded
hundreds more in Pakistan's remote south-west province of
Balochistan The 7.7-magnitude quake struck on Tuesday afternoon
 at 11:29:48 UTC, at a depth of 20km (13 miles) north-east of Awaran.
After the quake, an island appeared off the coast near the
port of Gwadar. People gathered on the beach to see the new
island, which is reported to be about 200m (656ft) long, 100m
wide and 20m high, and scientists have been sent to survey it.
Neptune was rising over Pakistan at the time of the quake, square
the Moon. Saturn sextile Pluto formed a 'finger of fate' with
the epicentre IC. Jupiter was close to the local ASC/MC midpoint.
Uranus was a degree from the local Mars/Uranus midpoint.

The Moon in Cancer squares Mercury  becoming void 07:31
The Moon enters Leo 07:58
Mercury enters Scorpio  11:39 joining Venus, Saturn and the lunar
node in this sign.

Mercury will reside in Scorpio for a lengthy 67 days and will 
undergo his retrograde phase during this time. His itinerary is
very extensive. He trines Neptune on October 1st, and he reaches
'repeatable territory' that day. He conjuncts  the lunar node on
Oct 5th at 8 degrees Scorpio, sextiles Pluto on Oct 7th and
conjuncts Saturn on Oct 8th. Mercury's apparent speed falls below
a degree per day on October 9th. There is a quieter period
for the planet as the Lunar Eclipse crashes out on October 18th.  
Mercury turns retrograde on October 21st at 18 degrees Scorpio and
is conjunct Saturn a 2nd time at 13 degrees Scorpio on Oct 29th,
and is at Inferior Conjunction with the Sun at 10 Scorpio on
November 1st, sextiling Mars and Pluto that day. Mercury then
conjuncts the lunar node a 2nd time on Nov 3rd at 8 Scorpio, the
day of the Solar Eclipse and sextiles Venus on Nov 8th.
He turns direct on Nov 10th at 3 degrees Scorpio. He sextiles Neptune
for a 2nd and 3rd time around this station. Mercury's apparent speed 
is back up to speed of a degree per day on Nov 18th. He conjuncts the
lunar node for a final time on Nov 19th and he sextiles Pluto for the
final time on Nov 21st.  Mercury is conjunct Saturn a final time on
Nov 26th at 17 degrees Scorpio. He sextiles Mars on Dec 3rd and enters
Sagittarius on Dec 5th.

This really is barrel load of information for the mind to absorb. The
Saturn conjunctions symbolise huge lessons to be learnt. The next 67
days are a schooling period for us all when we can dive and delve into
mysteries, secrets and sagas. The universal mind is in the underground
now.

State of the sky:-The Sun reaches 8 degrees Libra today, and is
drawing into a cardinal T-square with Pluto and Uranus over the
next week as we approach a difficult and dark New Moon.
We are very much in the 'foothills' of an eclipse season.
There are  18 days to a penumbral lunar eclipse, 36
days to a Hybrid Total Solar Eclipse and 82 days to
the Winter Solstice. 
Mercury, Venus,Saturn and the lunar node are in Scorpio.

 
The slowly waning but accelerating Moon squares her node  02:16
Moon square Saturn  03:43
Moon trine Uranus  05:12
The next New Moon is on October 5th and is a tough lunation being
in Libra opposite Uranus and square Pluto.

Mercury is a direct evening star in Scorpio.
He trines Neptune on October 1st, and he reaches
'repeatable territory' that day. He conjuncts  the lunar node on
Oct 5th at 8 degrees Scorpio, sextiles Pluto on Oct 7th and
conjuncts Saturn on Oct 8th. Mercury's apparent speed falls below
a degree per day on October 9th. clipse There is a quieter period
for the planet as the Lunar Eclipse crashes out on October 18th.  
Mercury turns retrograde on October 21st at 18 degrees Scorpio and
is conjunct Saturn a 2nd time at 13 degrees Scorpio on Oct 29th,
and is at Inferior Conjunction with the Sun at 10 Scorpio on
November 1st, sextiling Mars and Pluto that day. Mercury then
conjuncts the lunar node a 2nd time on Nov 3rd at 8 Scorpio, the
day of the Solar Eclipse and sextiles Venus on Nov 8th.
He turns direct on Nov 10th at 3 degrees Scorpio. He sextiles Neptune
for a 2nd and 3rd time around this station. Mercury's apparent speed 
is back up to speed of a degree per day on Nov 18th. He conjuncts the
lunar node for a final time on Nov 19th and he sextiles Pluto for the
final time on Nov 21st.  Mercury is conjunct Saturn a final time on
Nov 26th at 17 degrees Scorpio. He sextiles Mars on Dec 3rd and enters
Sagittarius on Dec 5th. 

Venus is also an evening 'star' in Scorpio, and is 
visible at evening dusk and will adorn the evening sky
for the remainder of 2013. 
Venus leaves Scorpio for Sagittarius on 7th October.
   
Mars is in Leo. Mars leaves Leo for Virgo on October 15th.


We are less than 2 months from the half way mark in the series
of 7 square aspects between Uranus and Pluto. The 4th square
occurs on Nov 1st and the single Heliocentric square is on
November 23rd 2013. The  7 geocentric squares can be viewed
as pre-echos and echoes of the this Helio fundamental square. 

The 'astrological wave of the week' is the triple conjunction
of the Moon, Mars and comet Ison tomorrow. Wonder
what news that will bring?

Tuesday 1 October 2013
The Sun forms a cardinal T-square
with Uranus and Pluto which lasts
right up to the New Moon on Saturday.


Comet Ison will  conjunct Mars, 21 deg Leo around the 2nd of
October.

Mercury reaches 'repeatable territory' today prior to his station
on October 21st. What this means is that decisions made now and
current outcomes may well have to be re-visited and remade in the
near future.

Yesterday US President Barack Obama vowed not to allow
Republicans to undermine his signature healthcare law as a
condition to restart the US government. The progressed Moon
in the USA chart (Jul 4th 1776 16:50) entered Scorpio at the
end of August this year, and during this autumn applies in
conjunction to progressed Saturn. A bleak mood has gripped
the country. Transiting Neptune is trine USA Venus casting
an unreal glamour on the collective affection there. 
Saturday's New Moon is 3 degrees from the USA natal Saturn,
adding to the seriousness of the current stalemate.

Yesterday at least 130 African migrants died and many more were
missing as a boat carrying them to Europe sank off the southern
Italian island of Lampedusa. This event can be traced to the
'sudden catastrophe' nature of the Sun opposite Uranus square
Pluto, which has been operative all week.

NEW MOON in Libra   00:36
opposite Uranus, square Pluto. 



theastrologyplace.blogspot.com


Today's New Moon is the 5th New Moon following the 
Annular Solar eclipse in Taurus on May 10th 2013 and
the ultimate New Moon before the Annular/Total
Solar Eclipse in Scorpio on November 3rd 2013. We
are now fully into an eclipse season.

The symbolism of this New Moon is incredibly dark.
The New Moon may well bring out the very worst of
the ongoing Uranus square Pluto aspect. The New
Moon herself is opposite Uranus and square Pluto.
We have disruptive(Uranus) and degenerative(Pluto)
influences at work.

What has happened is that this 'dark' New Moon has
drawn to itself a devastating event off Lampedusa. 
Italians are aghast at the scale of the tragedy that
unfolded on Thursday, Italy's worst ever migrant
shipwreck, A day of mourning was declared on Friday,
with flags flying at half-mast and a minute of silence
observed in all Italian schools.
 Rough seas force Italian
rescuers to postpone their search for hundreds of migrants
still missing. 


Today's New Moon is 3 degrees from the USA natal Saturn,
adding to the seriousness of the current stalemate there.
The New Moon hits the Mercury Neptune conjunction
of North Korea, the Uranus of the Syrian Bacch Party
the Venus in the French republic chart and the natal
Jupiter of singer Beyonce. 

Today is the birthday of Bob Geldoff and of Kate
Winslett. New chapters in their life stories are
starting. 

Saturn quinqunx Uranus  04:46
This is the last of three hits of this fateful
aspect. The first was Nov 16th 2012 and the second was
on April 13th 2013. These two planets were conjunct in
1988, the '1988 activator'. They were in opposition
between 2008 and 2010. Their last quarter phase is
in 2021 and the next conjunction of Saturn and Uranus
is in Gemini in the magical year of 2032. We tread 
dangerous paths right now with these two in quincunx.

State of the sky:-The Sun is at 14 degrees Libra today.
We are deeply into an eclipse season.
There are  11 days to a penumbral lunar eclipse, 29
days to a Hybrid Total Solar Eclipse and 75 days to
the Winter Solstice. 
The Moon, Mercury,Saturn and the lunar node are in Scorpio.

Moon conjunction Mercury (1.86 degree orb) 00:13
Moon sextile Pluto  00:21
Mercury sextile Pluto  01:59
Moon conjunction Saturn (2.91 degree orb) 03:09
Moon trine Jupiter  17:34
Venus enters Sagittarius  17:55

Mercury is a direct evening star in Scorpio, approaching his
retrograde phase and in repeatable territory.
He sextiles Pluto on today 01:59, a shrewd and penetrating vibration and
he conjuncts Saturn on tomorrow. Mercury's apparent speed falls below
a degree per day on Wednesday. There is a quieter period
for the planet as the Lunar Eclipse crashes out on October 18th.  
Mercury turns retrograde on October 21st at 18 degrees Scorpio and
is conjunct Saturn a 2nd time at 13 degrees Scorpio on Oct 29th,
and is at Inferior Conjunction with the Sun at 10 Scorpio on
November 1st, sextiling Mars and Pluto that day. Mercury then
conjuncts the lunar node a 2nd time on Nov 3rd at 8 Scorpio, the
day of the Solar Eclipse and sextiles Venus on Nov 8th.
He turns direct on Nov 10th at 3 degrees Scorpio. He sextiles Neptune
for a 2nd and 3rd time around this station. Mercury's apparent speed 
is back up to speed of a degree per day on Nov 18th. He conjuncts the
lunar node for a final time on Nov 19th and he sextiles Pluto for the
final time on Nov 21st.  Mercury is conjunct Saturn a final time on
Nov 26th at 17 degrees Scorpio. He sextiles Mars on Dec 3rd and enters
Sagittarius on Dec 5th. 

Venus is also an evening 'star'  visible at evening dusk and entering
Sagittarius 17:55 today. She will adorn the evening sky for the remainder
of 2013. 
   
Mars is in Leo. Mars leaves Leo for Virgo on October 15th.


We are 1 month from the half way mark in the series
of 7 square aspects between Uranus and Pluto. The 4th square
occurs on Nov 1st and the single Heliocentric square is on
November 23rd 2013. The  7 geocentric squares can be viewed
as pre-echos and echoes of the this Helio fundamental square. 

The 'astrological wave of the week' is the conjunction of Mercury
and Saturn in Scorpio tomorrow. Lessons to be learnt.

Comet ISON is brightening (in tropical Leo) as it approaches the Sun.
At the moment it is glowing like a 10th magnitude star, too dim for
naked eye viewing but an easy target for many telescopes on Earth. 
This is what the comet looked like on Oct. 8th

Comet ISON (C/2012 S1) was discovered at 5:15 am on
September 21 2012 by Artem Novichonok and Vitaly Nevsky
at the ISON-Kislovodsk observatory in Russia.
Comet ISON should be visible to the naked eye from early
November 2013 to mid-January 2014. It makes its closest
approach to Earth on December 26. Comet ISON passes
through constellation Draco from December 26 2013 to
January 3 2014.

Indian disaster teams have begun a relief operation after Cyclone
Phailin smashed homes and blocked roads, but a huge evacuation
seems to have paid off. This has been the major event in the world
over the past few days and has coincided astrologically with the
build up to a lunar eclipse and a quinquncx aspect between Saturn
and Uranus.
In the USA the deadlock stalemate continues and World Bank President,
Jim Yong Kim, has warned the US is just "days away from a very
dangerous moment" because of the crisis over the borrowing limit.
Mercury is appearing to decelerate to his station in 8 days time.
His triple conjunction with Saturn in Scorpio has added to the severity
of the fiscal and intransigent nature of the event.
We are indeed in an intense approach up to a 'wildcard' penumbral eclipse
next Friday night (GMT). We can expect a correspondingly tense week ahead.


State of the sky:-The Sun is at 21 degrees Libra today.
We are veritably hooked into an eclipse season.
There are 4 days to a penumbral lunar eclipse, 22
days to a Hybrid Total Solar Eclipse and 68 days to
the Winter Solstice. 
Mercury,Saturn and the lunar node are in Scorpio.

Moon trine Sun  05:47
Mars quintile Saturn  16:31
Moon opposition Mars  becoming void 20:29
Moon  enters Pisces  21:07
Mercury biquintile Uranus  23:08

Mercury is a direct evening star in Scorpio, approaching his
retrograde phase in repeatable territory and with apparent speed
below a degree per day.   
Mercury turns retrograde on October 21st at 18 degrees Scorpio and
is conjunct Saturn a 2nd time at 13 degrees Scorpio on Oct 29th,
and is at Inferior Conjunction with the Sun at 10 Scorpio on
November 1st, sextiling Mars and Pluto that day. Mercury then
conjuncts the lunar node a 2nd time on Nov 3rd at 8 Scorpio, the
day of the Solar Eclipse and sextiles Venus on Nov 8th.
He turns direct on Nov 10th at 3 degrees Scorpio. He sextiles Neptune
for a 2nd and 3rd time around this station. Mercury's apparent speed 
is back up to speed of a degree per day on Nov 18th. He conjuncts the
lunar node for a final time on Nov 19th and he sextiles Pluto for the
final time on Nov 21st.  Mercury is conjunct Saturn a final time on
Nov 26th at 17 degrees Scorpio. He sextiles Mars on Dec 3rd and enters
Sagittarius on Dec 5th. 

Venus is also an evening 'star' in Sagittarius visible at evening dusk
She will adorn the evening sky for the remainder
of 2013. Venus makes a ravishing fire trine with Uranus on October 16th
and then makes no major aspects in Sagittarius. She is however approaching
her station. Her apparent motion falls below a degree per day on Nov 1st.
and she enters repeatable territory on Nov 21st. She enters Capricorn on
Dec 5th and is at greatest brilliancy in the evening sky on Dec 6th. Venus
turns retrograde on the Solstice day Dec 21st 2013 at 29 degrees Capricorn. 
She is at inferior Conjunction with the Sun on Jan 11th 2014 at 21 Capricorn.
   
Mars is in Leo. Mars leaves Leo for Virgo tomorrow and will oppose
Neptune in crazy confusion in 6 days time colouring Friday's lunar eclipse
with airs of uncertainty and bewilderment.


We are 1 month from the half way mark in the series
of 7 square aspects between Uranus and Pluto. The 4th square
occurs on Nov 1st and the single Heliocentric square is on
November 23rd 2013. The  7 geocentric squares can be viewed
as pre-echos and echoes of the this Helio fundamental square. 

The 'astrological wave of the week' is the 
'significantly deep penumbral lunar eclipse' on Friday night.

Moon in Pisces conjunction Neptune  01:58
The Moon hits gibbous phase, the procession to the Full Moon and a
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse starts 09:30

Mars  enters Virgo 11:06 
Mars resides in this sign for 52 days. Mars opposes Neptune on Oct
20th, colouring the lunar eclipse 2 days earlier with crazy tones.
He sextiles the lunar node on October 28th triggering eclipse 
related events, and is sextiled by Mars on Nov 1st and by the Sun
on Nov 3rd at the time of the Solar Eclipse. Mars sextiles Saturn
with a very productive aspect on Nov 9th. Mars sextiles Jupiter on
Nov 19th and leaves Virgo for Libra on Dec 7th. Daze readers are
advised that Mars from Libra will oppose Uranus on Christmas Day
and square Pluto on New Years Eve. Both of these days will have 
their share of probably unwelcome events.
  
The gibbous Moon in Pisces trines her node 11:32

technet.idnes.cz



The last lunar eclipse of the year is a relatively deep
penumbral eclipse. It should be easily visible to the
naked eye as a dusky shading in the southern half of
the Moon.
The times of the major phases are listed below.

Penumbral Eclipse Begins:  21:50:38 UT                
Greatest Eclipse:          23:50:17 UT                 
Penumbral Eclipse Ends:    01:49:49 UT
Today's eclipse is member 52 of the 71 lunar
eclipses which comprise Lunar saros series 117.
The first eclipse in the series had the moment
of greatest eclipse at 17:48 on April 3rd 1094.
The chart for this moment is shown below.

Lunar Saros 117.

This Saros Series appears to be a highly charged
'animal'. Its eclipses seem to coincide with events
of importance in all areas of human endeavour. At 
the height of the Saros, an eclipse in 1815 occured
3 days after the battle of Waterloo. The 1508 eclipse
coincided with Michael Angelo starting on the Sistine
Chapel, the 1725 eclipse coincided with the treaty of
Vienna. The longest Total Eclipse in the Saros in 1707
coincided (8 days after) by the climax to the War of 
Spanish Succession and the Act of Union which brought
into being the State of Great Britain.
The last eclipse in the series in 1995 coincided with
the discovery of the 1st exoplanet, and by the non-guilty
verdict on O.J Simpson. The 1959 eclipse occured as
the first plain paper copier was revealed. The
seige of Lennigrad started 3 days after the 1941 eclipse.
The great Kanto Earthquake which devastated Tokyo and 
Yokohama occured 6 days after the 1923 eclipse.
lunar Saros 117 is well passed 'middle age' but its
power and potential to invoke sensational events is 
not yet faded. The next two eclipses in the saros are on
October 30th 2031 and on Nov 9th 2049. 


Today's eclipse occurs as Mars is opposite Neptune, Uranus
is square Pluto, Mercury is trine Jupiter and Venus trines
Uranus.


At the moment of greatest eclipse the Moon culminates
at Birmingham UK. The Sun and Moon are aligned to the UK,
and Spain. The Mars Neptune opposition is focussed on
Istanbul, Stockholm and Cairo. At Damascus a T-square
with Mars, Neptune and the local MC is manifest. 



The next Total Lunar Eclipse is on April 15th 2014 in Libra,
not visible from the UK. The Lunar Eclipse following that
is again Total on October 8th 2014. The next Total Lunar Eclipse
visible from the UK occurs during  the early hours of Monday
September 28th 2015 at 5 Aries a 'must-see agenda item'.
Pencil it in.

Today is essentially a day to recover from the circumstances
of the last few days and from last night's lunar eclipse.
However  Mars will oppose Neptune early tomorrow so the 'wave of
confused activity' is still to break. Care is needed at this
time.

Yesterday at least 30 people were killed by a suicide truck bombing
targeting government troops on the edge of the central Syrian city
of Hama.
A state of emergency was declared in New South Wales as Australian
firefighters battled bushfires that are expected to worsen in hot
and windy weather.
We are in the very sensitive few days wherein eclipse related events
are made manifest.

MERCURY TURNS RETROGRADE 10:30
Mercury is retrograde for 20 days. 

The decelerating 'post eclipse' Moon enters Gemini 16:15
Mars 'waxing biquintile' Uranus  20:00
The Moon, Mars and Neptune form a mutable T-square 21:00 to
midnight.
Moon square Neptune  21:33
Moon square Mars  23:48

State of the sky:-The Sun is at 28 degrees Libra today.
We are veritably hooked into an eclipse fortnight
There are  15 days to a Hybrid Total Solar Eclipse.
There are 61 days to the Winter Solstice. 
Mercury,Saturn and the lunar node are in Scorpio. The Sun
enters Scorpio on Wednesday.


Mercury turns retrograde today at 18 degrees Scorpio. He
is conjunct Saturn a 2nd time at 13 degrees Scorpio on Oct 29th,
and is at Inferior Conjunction with the Sun at 10 Scorpio on
November 1st, sextiling Mars and Pluto that day. Mercury then
conjuncts the lunar node a 2nd time on Nov 3rd at 8 Scorpio, the
day of the Solar Eclipse and sextiles Venus on Nov 8th.
He turns direct on Nov 10th at 3 degrees Scorpio. He sextiles Neptune
for a 2nd and 3rd time around this station. Mercury's apparent speed 
is back up to speed of a degree per day on Nov 18th. He conjuncts the
lunar node for a final time on Nov 19th and he sextiles Pluto for the
final time on Nov 21st.  Mercury is conjunct Saturn a final time on
Nov 26th at 17 degrees Scorpio. He sextiles Mars on Dec 3rd and enters
Sagittarius on Dec 5th. 

Venus is a brightening evening 'star' in Sagittarius visible at evening dusk.
She will adorn the evening sky for the remainder of 2013. Venus makes no
more major aspects in Sagittarius. She is however approaching her station.
Her apparent motion falls below a degree per day on Nov 1st, and she enters
repeatable territory on Nov 21st. She enters Capricorn on Dec 5th and is at
greatest brilliancy in the evening sky on Dec 6th. Venus turns retrograde
on the Solstice day Dec 21st 2013 at 29 degrees Capricorn. 
She is at inferior Conjunction with the Sun on Jan 11th 2014 at 21 Capricorn.
   
Mars is in Virgo. He sextiles the lunar node on October 28th triggering eclipse 
related events, and is sextiled by Mars on Nov 1st and by the Sun on Nov 3rd
at the time of the Solar Eclipse. Mars sextiles Saturn with a very productive
aspect on Nov 9th. Mars sextiles Jupiter on Nov 19th and leaves Virgo for Libra
on Dec 7th. Daze readers are advised that Mars from Libra will oppose Uranus on
Christmas Day and square Pluto on New Years Eve. Both of these days will have 
their share of probably unsettling events.


We are two weeks from the half way mark in the series
of 7 square aspects between Uranus and Pluto. The 4th square
occurs on Nov 1st and the single Heliocentric square is on
November 23rd 2013. The  7 geocentric squares can be viewed
as pre-echos and echoes of the this Helio fundamental square.

Mercury turned retrograde yesterday and is now heading back
towards Mercury which he meets for a 2nd time at 13 degrees
Scorpio on in a week's time. This is a week of serious soul
searching.

had said it is "really not on" for friends to spy on each other,
as an EU summit was overshadowed by a row over US surveillance.

transiting Saturn yesterday was exactly sextile their relationship

European leaders warned Friday that reports of widespread
spying on world leaders by the U.S. National Security Agency
have raised "deep concerns" and could affect intelligence
gathering. This is a real 'backward step' in free world
trust and cooperation. The revelations and warnings occur as
Mercury retrogrades towards Saturn in Scorpio.

Astrologically this is a very watery and fixed period. This
results in an intense and strong 'atmosphere'. We are just one
week from a rare Hybrid Solar Eclipse in Scorpio which will 
bring great forces of change to bear on our lives, and of course
Mercury is in his retrograde period applying in a very sobering
second conjunction with Saturn in Scorpio. The time is difficult,
the cosmos full of intent. We are at the height of the sequence
of 7 Uranus Pluto geocentric squares over a period of 3 years from
2012 to 2015. A climax of sorts lies ahead of us.


Mars sextile Node  11:29
Moon trine Venus  becoming void 12:27
Venus semi square Node  23:56

State of the sky:-The Sun is at 5 degrees Scorpio today.
We are veritably hooked into an eclipse fortnight
There are 7 days to a Hybrid Total Solar Eclipse.
There are 54 days to the Winter Solstice. 
The Sun, retro-Mercury, Saturn and the lunar node are in Scorpio. 


Retro-Mercury is conjunct Saturn a 2nd time at 13 degrees Scorpio
tomorrow, and is at Inferior Conjunction with the Sun at 10 Scorpio
on November 1st, sextiling Mars and Pluto that day. Mercury then
conjuncts the lunar node a 2nd time on Nov 3rd at 8 Scorpio, the
day of the Solar Eclipse and sextiles Venus on Nov 8th.
He turns direct on Nov 10th at 3 degrees Scorpio. He sextiles Neptune
for a 2nd and 3rd time around this station. Mercury's apparent speed 
is back up to speed of a degree per day on Nov 18th. He conjuncts the
lunar node for a final time on Nov 19th and he sextiles Pluto for the
final time on Nov 21st.  Mercury is conjunct Saturn a final time on
Nov 26th at 17 degrees Scorpio. He sextiles Mars on Dec 3rd and enters
Sagittarius on Dec 5th. 

Venus is a brightening evening 'star' in Sagittarius visible at evening dusk.
She will adorn the evening sky for the remainder of 2013. Venus makes no
more major aspects in Sagittarius. She is however approaching her station.
Her apparent motion falls below a degree per day on Nov 1st, and she enters
repeatable territory on Nov 21st. She enters Capricorn on Dec 5th and is at
greatest brilliancy in the evening sky on Dec 6th. Venus turns retrograde
on the Solstice day Dec 21st 2013 at 29 degrees Capricorn. 
She is at inferior Conjunction with the Sun on Jan 11th 2014 at 21 Capricorn.
   
Mars is in Virgo. He sextiles the lunar node today maybe triggering eclipse 
related events, and Mars 'earth trines' Pluto on October 31st in a very strongly
'power play' time. Mars is sextiled by retro-Mercury on Nov 1st and by the Sun on
Nov 3rd, the day of the Solar Eclipse. Mars sextiles Saturn with a very productive
aspect on Nov 9th. Mars sextiles Jupiter on Nov 19th and leaves Virgo for Libra
on Dec 7th. Daze readers are advised that Mars from Libra will oppose Uranus on
Christmas Day and square Pluto on New Years Eve. Both of these days will probably
have their share of unsettling events.


We are at the the half way mark in the series
of 7 square aspects between Uranus and Pluto. The 4th square
occurs on Nov 1st and the single Heliocentric square is on
November 23rd 2013. 

Through the early morning hours and into dawn Tuesday morning, the waning crescent
Moon forms a triangle with Mars and Regulus in the eastern sky — for the second time
this month. By dawn it's high in the southeast.

The wave of the week is that of the Hybrid Solar Eclipse in Scorpio next Sunday.

The Sun and Mars are hooked into the Uranus Pluto square today
and tomorrow. Mars and the Lunar Node, with Mercury and the
Sun, are in 'yod' formation with Uranus. We have a volatile
astrological situation on our hands. The ensuing days are brimming
with potential events.
Also Uranus is exactly square Pluto on Friday. This is the 4th of
7 squares over the 3 year period 2012 -2015. This is heavy weight
astrology. The Inferior Conjunction of Mercury also occurs on Friday.
A rare hybrid solar eclipse occurs on Sunday. In the pre-dawn skies of
the Northern hemisphere Comet Ison is shortly to make its 'naked eye'
appearance. The time is indeed overflowing with fate and fortune.

Yesterday Pakistan's interior minister said the death of Pakistani
Taliban leader Hakimullah Mehsud by USA drone attack has destroyed
the country's nascent peace process. The attack occurred on Friday
November 1st 2013, 2 days before a Solar Eclipse.
The Eclipse directly hits the Moon in the USA/Pakistan relationship
chart. This is the 'life support system' of the said relationship.
I can't help thinking that the US strike will incur a most unpleasant
reprisal, and that generally the USA has not made too clever a 
performance on the world stage recently. The eavesdropping on Angela
Merkel, the shutdown of the government and now this drone attack have
occurred as the US progressed Moon in Scorpio is applying to progressed
Saturn, exact in a month's time, and transiting Saturn has recently
been in trine relationship to US natal Saturn. This pair are tightly
square in the USA natal chart so this transit has obviously set off an
in built flaw in the essential spirit of the US nation.

November 3rd 2013. Annular/Total Solar Eclipse 12-47 GMT at
11 degrees Scorpio conjunct Saturn, sextile Mars, visible
from the Atlantic ocean, and central Africa.

 The final event of 2013 is the most interesting eclipse
 of the year. It is one of the rare hybrid or annular/total
 eclipses in which some sections of the path are annular
 while other parts are total. The duality comes about when
 the vertex of the Moon's umbral shadow pierces Earth's
 surface at some locations, but falls short of the planet
 along other sections of the path. The unusual geometry is
 due to the curvature of Earth's surface that brings some
 geographic locations into the umbra while other positions
 are more distant and enter the antumbral rather than umbral
 shadow. In most cases, the central path begins annular,
 changes to total for the middle portion of the track, and
 reverts back to annular towards the end of the path.
 However, November 3 eclipse is even more unique because
 the central path to begins annular and ends total.
 Because hybrid eclipses occur near the vertex of the Moon's
 umbral/antumbral shadows, the central path is typically quite
 narrow.The hybrid eclipse of 2013 is visible from within a
 thin corridor, which traverses the North Atlantic and
 equatorial Africa. A partial eclipse is seen within the
 much broader path of the Moon's penumbral shadow, which
 includes eastern North America, northern South America,
 southern Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

Astrologically today's eclipse is an intense affair in tropcal
Scorpio conjunct Saturn and sextile Mars. It's message is a
serious appraisal of current financial legacy. It represents
a no-nonsense, hard hitting reminder of the harshness and
precarious of the human situation.

Solar Saros 143
Today's eclipse is member 23 of the 72 eclipses which make up
Solar Saros 143. This 'family of eclipses' started with a partial
solar eclipse on March 7th 1617 with a central eclipse time of
10:05:36 TD. The Saros 'went Total' in 1797 and peaked early
with the longest Total Solar Eclipse on August 19th 1887. The
last Total Eclipse in the saros was on October 24th 1995.
Today's eclipse is the 1st of 3 hybrids. The Saros ends in the
year 2897.

The chart of the first eclipse in 1617 is shown below
set for London. It has the Sun and Moon in Pisces.
Saturn is conjunct Pluto in Taurus sextile Uranus.
Mercury opposes neptune and Venus is square Jupiter.


There is a definite menace at work with the Saturn
Pluto conjunction in Taurus in this Saros chart.
The last eclipse in this Saros in October 1995 
preceded by 4 days the world's worst subway
disaster in Baku. The October 1977 eclipse was
one day before the hijack of Lufthansa flight
181 by the Red Army, and 8 days before the 3
deaths in the Lynard Skynyrd rock band. Six
days before the October 1959 eclipse Typhoon
Vera in Japan killed 5000. Five days after this
eclipse the first photos of the dark side of the
Moon were captured.
At the time of the September 1941 eclipse, to
return to the menacing theme, the Germans were advancing
into Russia and the Holocaust was in full sway.
The Sept. 1923 eclipse was preceded by 2 days
with the Honda Point disaster which was the largest
peacetime loss of U.S.Navy ships and by 9 days by
the Great Kanto Earthquake which killed over
100000. The August 1905 eclipse coincided with
the start of the Russian Revolution.
The longest Total Eclipse in this Saros in Aug.
1887 was followed 6 weeks later by the Yellow
Flood disaster starting, killing 1-2 million.
  

At the moment of maximum eclipse today the Sun and Moon are
rising at Dallas and have just set at Karachi. Jupiter
culminates at San Francisco, Mars at Boston, Pluto at
Mogadishu, Venus at Ankara. Neptune rises at Belgrade.
Jupiter sets over England.

Today's eclipse directly hits the natal Venus of Vladmir Putin
and Keith Richards, the natal Mars of Joseph Biden, the natal
Neptune of Jamaica, the natal Saturn of Barack Obama'a 2nd
inauguration chart and the ascendant of the UKIP chart.  
 

During the course of the eclipse, Mercury conjuncts the
lunar node 14:20

After the eclipse has ended the New Moon conjuncts Saturn
(2.12 degree orb) at 17:19. This is not at all an easy
start to the new lunar cycle, and the eclipse and the Saros
to which it belongs both have a rather unpleasant feel.

What we can look forward to is the Sun in Scorpio in water
trine to Jupiter in 9 days time.

There are 47 days to the Winter Solstice. 
The Sun, retro-Mercury, Saturn and the lunar node are in Scorpio. 


Retro-Mercury is now a morning 'star'. He sextiles Venus on Nov 8th.
He turns direct on Nov 10th at 3 degrees Scorpio. He sextiles Neptune
for a 2nd and 3rd time around this station. Mercury's apparent speed 
is back up to speed of a degree per day on Nov 18th. He conjuncts the
lunar node for a final time on Nov 19th and he sextiles Pluto for the
final time on Nov 21st.  Mercury is conjunct Saturn a final time on
Nov 26th at 17 degrees Scorpio. He sextiles Mars on Dec 3rd and enters
Sagittarius on Dec 5th. 

Venus is a brightening evening 'star' in Sagittarius visible at evening dusk.
She will adorn the evening sky for the remainder of 2013. Venus makes no
more major aspects in Sagittarius. She is however approaching her station.
Her apparent motion fell below a degree per day on Nov 1st, and she enters
repeatable territory on Nov 21st. She enters Capricorn tomorrow and is at
greatest brilliancy in the evening sky on Dec 6th. Venus turns retrograde
on the Solstice day Dec 21st 2013 at 29 degrees Capricorn. 
She is at inferior Conjunction with the Sun on Jan 11th 2014 at 21 Capricorn.
   
Mars is in Virgo.  Mars sextiles Saturn next saturday and sextiles Jupiter
on Nov 19th. He leaves Virgo for Libra on Dec 7th. Daze readers are advised
that Mars from Libra will oppose Uranus on Christmas Day and square Pluto
on New Years Eve. Both of these days will probably have their share of 
unseasonable distractions.
 

We are at the the half way mark in the series
of 7 square aspects between Uranus and Pluto. The 4th square
occured on Nov 1st. The single Heliocentric square is on
November 23rd 2013. 


The 'astrological wave of the week' is the combination of the industrious
Mars in Virgo sextile Saturn, and stationary-Mercury in Scorpio hovering
trine Neptune next weekend. A strange mixture of  mystery, imagination
and application.

The next eclipse is a Total Lunar Eclipse in Libra on April 15th 2014.
The next Solar Eclipse is a rare 'non-central Annular Eclipse' in
tropical Taurus on April 29th 2014.
The next Total Solar Eclipse occurs on Friday March 20th 2015 at
29 Pisces and has a shadow zone that passes north of the UK through
the Faroe islands.

The very rapidly waxing baby new Moon in Sagittarius squares 
Neptune 00:34

Venus enters Capricorn 08:44 joining Pluto in this sign.
Venus will reside in this sign for a lengthy 119 days and will
undergo retrograde motion during this time. Her apparent motion
fell below a degree per day on Nov. 1st.
Venus sextiles Neptune on Nov. 8th, sextiles the lunar node on
Nov. 13th, and squares Uranus and conjuncts Pluto on Nov. 15th.
Venus enters repeatable territory on Nov. 21st, sextiles Saturn
on Nov. 23rd and opposes Jupiter on Nov. 28th. Venus is at
greatest brilliancy in the evening sky on Dec 6th.
Venus turns retrograde on the Solstice day Dec 21st 2013 at 29
degrees Capricorn. On Jan 11th 2014 Venus sextiles Saturn
a 2nd time and is at inferior Conjunction with the Sun at 21
Capricorn. Venus as a morning star is squared by Mars on Jan 16th.
Venus turns direct on Jan 31st. On Feb 16th Venus is at greatest
brilliancy in the morning sky. Venus sextiles Saturn a final time on
Feb 25th, squares Mars a 2nd and final time on March 2nd and 
squares the lunar node on March 4th. Venus enters new territory
on March 4th and enters Aquarius on March 5th. Venus is back up
to speed of a degree per day by March 24th.
The entire period is one of 'sincere affection' and 'financial
constructivism'. The triple sextile to Saturn adds to the
formality and 'establishment nature' of the time. Mars currently
in Virgo is quite content with Venus in Capricorn but when he 
enters Libra on Dec 8th his footloose nature will clash with the
security seeking goddess.

The Moon fire trines Uranus 11:39
The Moon squares Mars 16:49 becoming void and remaining that way
for a long 29 hours.

Yesterday for most of the day D.R. Congo was the main news
story. The M23 rebel group in the eastern Democratic Republic
of Congo said it is ending its insurgency, hours after the
government claimed military victory. DR Congo had the path of
Totality of Sunday's Total Solar Eclipse pass right through it.


India has successfully launched a spacecraft to the Red Planet
with the aim of becoming the fourth space agency to reach Mars.
The Mars Orbiter Mission took off at 09:08 GMT from the Satish
Dhawan Space Centre on the country's east coast. Transiting
Saturn is making square aspects to India's natal Saturn, natal
MC and natal Venus. Quite an achievement. At the moment of launch
the planet Mars was actually setting over India. Venus was
about to culminate. Money, prestige and technological advancement
mark this event.


Today the Moon is perigee, fastest all month, closest to Earth 09:20
Sun conjunction Saturn  12:02
The rapidly waxing Moon hits crescent phase 21:07 at 30 Sagittarius
The Moon enters Capricorn 21:45 joining Venus and Pluto.
There are then 10 planets in negative signs. Intense self repressive
energy is now in abundance.
The Moon applies in conjunction to Venus in Capricorn as the (GMT)
day ends. Value.

then half way between Equinox and Solstice. In the northern
hemisphere the darkest quarter of the year begins, the season
is 'fading'. In the south the lightest quarter of the year

Comet ISON is now inside the orbit of Earth and racing towards
the Sun. On Nov. 28th, Comet ISON will fly through the Sun's
atmosphere little more than a million kilometers above the sun's
fiery surface.
Ison crosses the ecliptic tomorrow and enters tropical Libra. The
comet then applies to the fixed star Spica to which it aligns on
November 17th. No report has surfaced yet as to it becoming a 
naked eye object.

With Mars in Virgo making a sextile aspect to Saturn today there
is made maniest very real harnessing of practical energy to force
effect.
 

The rapidly waxing crescent Moon in Aquarius squares Mercury 04:10
The Moon squares her nodal axis 11:22
Mars waning sextile Saturn  11:58
Moon sextile Uranus  14:58

Retro-Mercury approaching his station trines Neptune 21:36.
This aspect is repeated in two days time, and strongly
colours the following 50 hours. A time for spells.

Comet ISON is upstaged! Fourcomets are currently on
 display for binoculars or small telescopes in the east
 before the beginning of dawn(for Northern Hemisphere
 observers). One is Comet ISON, still underperforming
 at only about 8th magnitude. It starts this week about
 midway between Mars and Spica and speeds toward Spica
 daily, to pass it on November 17th and 18th. But ISON
 is being outdone! Comet 2013 R1 (Lovejoy) "is a 
humdinger — almost as bright now as Comet ISON was
 forecast to be," writesS&T's Tony Flanders. "And
 it's very high in the sky... big, bright, and 
 beautiful in 10×30 binoculars. "The other two comets,
 Encke and C/2012 X1 (LINEAR), are fainter. See Tony's
 article The Other Great Morning Comet, with finder
 charts for Lovejoy and ISON. Further details and
 charts for all four are at comets.skyhound.com.

Ison still could enter the mass consciousness. There is
a mystery show underway.

Hundreds of people are feared dead in the Philippines, after Typhoon
Haiyan swept through on Friday, devastating towns and cities.
Haiyan has been described as the most powerful storm ever recorded on
Earth.
Such an event should have an astrological signature which is strong
and clear. It does have, but you have to look at the Heliocentric
situation to see it. In the Philippines astrological chart, July 4th
1946 09:15 CCT Manila, the Helio position of the Earth is 11 Capricorn,
Helio Philippine Pluto is 11 degrees Leo. Over the past couple of days
there has been a Heliocentric T-Square in the solar system. Helio
Jupiter is currently opposite Helio Pluto square Helio Uranus and
Venus all at 11 degrees of their respective signs. Also Helio Mars
has also been at 11 degrees Leo, and was conjunct Philippine Helio Mars
on Friday, which seems to have set off the whole show.
It appears that the Philippines has taken the full brunt of the tension in
the whole solar system at this time.
Food for astrological thought maybe?

State of the sky:-The Sun is at 19 degrees Scorpio today and is
trine Jupiter in cancer tomorrow.
We are starting to pull out of the eclipse season.
There are 40 days to the Winter Solstice. 
The Sun, retro-Mercury, Saturn and the lunar node are in Scorpio. 
Venus and Pluto are in Capricorn.


Mercury is now a direct morning 'star' in Scorpio. Mercury trines
Neptune today. Mercury's apparent speed is back up to speed of  
degree per day on Nov 18th. He conjuncts the lunar node for a final
time on Nov 19th and he sextiles Pluto for the final time on Nov 21st.
Mercury is conjunct Saturn a final time on Nov 26th at 17 degrees
Scorpio. He sextiles Mars on Dec 3rd and enters Sagittarius on Dec 5th. 

Venus is an evening star in Capricorn approaching her station.
Her apparent motion fell below a degree per day on Nov 1st.
Venus sextiles the lunar node on Nov 13th, squares Uranus and
conjuncts Pluto on Nov 15th.
Venus enters repeatable territory on Nov 21st, sextiles Saturn
on Nov 23rd and opposes Jupiter on Nov 28th. Venus is at
greatest brilliancy in the evening sky on Dec 6th.
Venus turns retrograde on the Solstice day Dec 21st 2013 at 29
degrees Capricorn. On Jan 11th 2014 Venus sextiles Saturn
a 2nd time and is at inferior Conjunction with the Sun at 21
Capricorn. Venus as a morning star is squared by Mars on Jan 16th.
Venus turns direct on Jan 31st. On Feb 16th Venus is at greatest
brilliancy in the morning sky. Venus sextiles Saturn a final time on
Feb 25th, squares Mars a 2nd and final time on March 2nd and 
squares the lunar node on March 4th. Venus enters new territory
on March 4th and enters Aquarius on March 5th. Venus is back up
to speed of a degree per day by March 24th.

   
Mars is in Virgo.  Mars sextiles Jupiter on Nov 19th. He leaves Virgo
for Libra on Dec 7th. Daze readers are advised that Mars from Libra
will oppose Uranus on Christmas Day and square Pluto on New Years Eve.
Both of these days will probably have their share of unseasonable
distractions.
 
We are at the the half way mark in the series
of 7 square aspects between Uranus and Pluto. The 4th square
occurred on Nov 1st. The single Heliocentric square is on
November 23rd 2013. 

The next eclipse is a Total Lunar Eclipse in Libra on April 15th 2014.
The next Solar Eclipse is a rare 'non-central Annular Eclipse' in
tropical Taurus on April 29th 2014.
The next Total Solar Eclipse occurs on Friday March 20th 2015 at
29 Pisces and has a shadow zone that passes north of the UK through
the Faroe islands.

The 'Heliocentric Cardinal T-square' which I see as 'responsible' for
the devastation in the Philippines, please see yesterday's comment,
continues to sound out and actually peaks on Thursday. The Philippine
Red Cross says the devastating Typhoon Haiyan has created "absolute
bedlam" as rescuers try to reach survivors.
This catastrophe has occurred 5 days after a Solar Eclipse. The eclipse
itself relocated to the Philippines does not throw up any really
pertinent astrological signatures. However the Solar Saros Series 143
to which the eclipse belongs often throws up horrible events like this one.
See my comments on Nov 3rd to read these. The Lunar Eclipse on October 28th
2012 relocated to the Philippines does have the Neptune opposite Mars
astrocartography lines passing west of the devastation area, but not too
exact to have thrown up an 'astro-alert'. Astrologers of the world need to
communicate on this event. My bid is that 'a combination of a tense
Heliocentric situation focussed on the Philipines Helio chart, and the after
effect of a Solar Eclipse, a member of the brutal Solar Saros 143, have
precipitated this awful event'.

Officials estimate up to 12,000 people have died in Tacloban city and
elsewhere. Hundreds of thousands of people are displaced. 

The US says Iran backed out of a deal on its nuclear programme in Geneva,
as Tehran and the UN atomic agency agree steps to resolve issues. This 
situation manifested as Mercury turned direct on Sunday. The situation
is a little confused but not hopeless.

Comet Lovejoy is one of four comets now rising in the east before dawn.
The other three are exploding Comet LINEAR X1, sungrazing Comet ISON,
and short-period Comet Encke, and the brightest of them all. All four
are easy targets for backyard optics. Dates of special interest include
Nov. 15-18 when Comet LINEAR X1 passes by the bright star Arcturus,
Nov 17-18 when Comet ISON has a close encounter with Spica, and Nov.
18-20 when Comet Encke buzzes Mercury. These stars and planets make
excellent naked-eye guideposts for finding the comets. Meanwhile, bright
Comet Lovejoy is approaching the Big Dipper; if you can't see it with
your unaided eye, a quick scan with binoculars will reveal it.

Comet ISON has brightened suddenly in the last few days to 5th
magnitude as of November 15th — a popsicle comet with a round,
sharp-edged, bright green head and a long, thin, dim tail.
It's speeding sunward near Spica and Mercury low in the east
just before dawn. It passes less than 2° from Spica on the 
mornings of November 17th and 18th.

Comet Ison conjunct Spica.

http://www.lunarplanner.com/Snippets/13.11-Comet-ISON/index.html
Here is the Ison discovery chart.


Check out http://astrologyking.com/comet-ison/
The message of this comet has threads of 'drastic change' woven within.
Mercury in the discovery chart is separating in tight T-square from
Uranus and Pluto, sextile a lower culminating fiery Sagittarian Moon.
The Comet itself was at zero degrees Leo. Virgo Sun, Virgo rising, we
may have on our hands a harbinger of evolutionary change. 
It will be very exciting to follow the story of this comet over the
next 12 days and hopefully beyond as it approaches perihelion. 
It may be engulfed by the Sun or it may emerge extremely bright,
illuminating the consciousness of us all. 
Comet Ison is at 17 degrees Libra today.

Today's Full Moon is the first Full Moon following
the Penumbral Lunar Eclipse on October 18th 2013 and
the 5th Full Moon before the Total Lunar Eclipse on
April 15th 2014.

Today's Full Moon makes no major aspect and is 'void of
course' from the moment of fullness. Venus separating
from Pluto is square Uranus, Mars applies in a sextile
to Jupiter and Mercury applies in sextile to Pluto. 
Mercury is conjunct the Lunar Node.
There are no planets in Air signs and a total of 9 bodies
in feminine signs. 


 
Today's Full Moon directly hits the natal Saturn of the UK
Queen and of the UK Conservative Party. It hits the natal
Venus in Alex Salmond's chart, Mars in the France 1st
republic chart, Mars in Oprah Winfrey's chart, and Jupiter
in the Turkish chart. It hits the natal Sun of the National
Rifle Asscociation of the USA. 
Today is the birthday of Danny Devito, Jonathan Ross, Gordon
Lightfoot, Sarah Holding (girls aloud), and actrss Rachel
McAdams.

At the moment of Full Moon today it is Moonrise at Stockholm,
Mars rises at Wellington, Mercury and the lunar node are at
lower culmination at the Philippines. Venus sets at Munich,
Saturn sets at Istanbul, Mercury sets at Athens, Jupiter
sets at Caracas.

Comet Ison is today at 22 degrees Libra.
Reports of naked-eye sightings of Comet ISON are coming in
from around the world. Experienced observers put the comet's
magnitude at +5.5 on Nov. 16th. This means it is now fully
10 times brighter than it was only three days ago before the
outburst. To the naked eye, ISON appears as a faint smudge of
pale green light low in the pre-dawn sky. The view through
a telescope is more dramatic. The comet's tail has become a
riotous crowd of gaseous streamers stretching more than 3.5
degrees across the sky.
In short, no one knows for sure what is happening to Comet ISON.
This could be the comet's death throes--or just the first of
many brightening events the comet experiences as it plunges
toward the sun for a close encounter on Nov. 28th.

Today the slow 'hung over' Full Moon enters Gemini 00:08
The day 'breaks open' after the intensity of the past 
couple of days. Plenty to communicate about. The wires buzz.
Mercury conjunction the lunar node 03:04
The Moon squares Neptune 05:10
The Moon sextiles Uranus 17:36
Saturn is on the Venus/Mars midpoint today.
A deal is clinched.

State of the sky:-The Sun is at 26 degrees Scorpio today.
The Sun enters Sagittarius on Friday and is square Neptune
on Sunday.
We are now pulling out of the eclipse season.
There are 33 days to the Winter Solstice. 
The Sun, Mercury, Saturn and the lunar node are in Scorpio. 
Venus and Pluto are in Capricorn.


Mercury is now a direct morning 'star' in Scorpio. Mercury trines
Neptune today. Mercury's apparent speed is back up to speed of  
degree per day today and tomorrow he conjuncts the lunar node for
a final time. He sextiles Pluto for the final time on Nov 21st.
Mercury is conjunct Saturn a final time on Nov 26th at 17 degrees
Scorpio.  He enters 'new territory' on Nov 27, sextiles Mars on
Dec 3rd and enters Sagittarius on Dec 5th. 

Venus is an evening star in Capricorn approaching her station.
Her apparent motion fell below a degree per day on Nov 1st and enters
repeatable territory on Nov 21st. Venus  sextiles Saturn
on Nov 23rd and opposes Jupiter on Nov 28th. Venus is at
greatest brilliancy in the evening sky on Dec 6th.
Venus turns retrograde on the Solstice day Dec 21st 2013 at 29
degrees Capricorn. On Jan 11th 2014 Venus sextiles Saturn
a 2nd time and is at inferior Conjunction with the Sun at 21
Capricorn. Venus as a morning star is squared by Mars on Jan 16th.
Venus turns direct on Jan 31st. On Feb 16th Venus is at greatest
brilliancy in the morning sky. Venus sextiles Saturn a final time on
Feb 25th, squares Mars a 2nd and final time on March 2nd and 
squares the lunar node on March 4th. Venus enters new territory
on March 4th and enters Aquarius on March 5th. Venus is back up
to speed of a degree per day by March 24th.

   
Mars is in Virgo.  Mars sextiles Jupiter tomorrow. He leaves Virgo
for Libra on Dec 7th.  Mars from Libra will oppose Uranus on
Christmas Day and square Pluto on New Years Eve. Both of these days
will probably have their share of unseasonable distractions.
 
We are just past the half way mark in the series
of 7 square aspects between Uranus and Pluto. The 4th square
occurred on Nov 1st. The single Heliocentric square is on
November 23rd 2013. 

The next eclipse is a Total Lunar Eclipse in Libra on April 15th 2014.
The next Solar Eclipse is a rare 'non-central Annular Eclipse' in
tropical Taurus on April 29th 2014.
The next Total Solar Eclipse occurs on Friday March 20th 2015 at
29 Pisces and has a shadow zone that passes north of the UK through
the Faroe islands.
The 'astrological wave of the week' is the 'carefully expansive' Mars
sextile Jupiter tomorrow.

Comet Ison is now passing through the last few degrees of Libra.

Physically, ISON's tail is about 12 times wider than the Sun.
So, when the head of ISON plunges into the sun's atmosphere on
Nov. 28th, more than 15 million kilometers of the comet's tail
will still be jutting into space behind it. Because so much gas
and dust is spewing from the comet's core, it is impossible to
see clearly what caused Comet ISON's outburst on Nov. 13-14.
One possibility is that fresh veins of ice are opening up in the
comet's nucleus, vaporizing furiously as ISON approaches the sun.
Another possibility is that the nucleus has completely fragmented.

Yesterday under post full moon 'wake', a manhunt was under way in
Paris after a gunman attacked a bank HQ and the newspaper
Liberation, where a photographer was seriously injured.

Sunday's Full Moon brought with it dozens of powerful tornadoes
hitting US states including Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky,
killing at least six people, levelling houses and overturning
vehicles.

Today Mars sextiles Jupiter  14:50
A discerning and expansive wave is breaking on us which could be both
productive and positive. US markets yesterday had their best day
since January 2013, buoyed by a House Republican proposal to raise
the nation's borrowing limit for six weeks.
 
The slowly waning 'hung over' full moon in Gemini squares Mars and
becomes void of course 16:01

Generally I found a mainly positive vibration yesterday as Mars
sextiled Jupiter, but under its 'rays' at least 22 people were
killed in explosions that hit the Iranian embassy in Beirut, in
a stronghold of the Hezbollah militant movement. The Full Moon
on Sunday formed a Fixed T-square with Mercury and Saturn in
the Hezbollah chart (Feb 16th 1985) which was 'set off' by the
transiting Sun conjunct Hezbollah Saturn yesterday.

Today Mercury makes a waning quinquncx aspect to Uranus 05:51
The slowly waning and decelerating 'hung over' full Moon,
starting the day void of course, enters Cancer 11:24, joining
Jupiter there.
The Moon then water trines Neptune 16:36
Mercury sextiles Pluto as the day ends.

Comet Ison today races through 6 to 8 degrees tropical Scorpio.
The message of this comet has threads of 'drastic change' woven within.
Mercury in the discovery chart is separating in tight T-square from
Uranus and Pluto, sextile a lower culminating fiery Sagittarian Moon.
The Comet itself was at zero degrees Leo. Virgo Sun, Virgo rising, we
may have on our hands a harbinger of evolutionary change. 
It will be very exciting to follow the story of this comet over the
next 6 days and hopefully beyond as it approaches perihelion. 
It may be engulfed by the Sun or it may emerge extremely bright,
illuminating the consciousness of us all

The Comet is plunging toward the sun and brightening as
it heads for a perilous close encounter on Nov. 28th
Because Comet ISON is moving into the rosy glow of dawn, it will
soon be impossible for cameras on Earth to track it. NASA's fleet
of solar spacecraft are about to take over. 

Minor lunar occultation, observable from the UK,
of star lambda Gemini, 00:21 to 01:16

The Sun enters Sagittarius 03:49 and a new astrological month
commences.
Enterprise!
 

The very slow disseminating Moon conjuncts Jupiter in Cancer 03:00
Brilliant Venus semi-squares the Sun 06:16
The Moon sextile Mars  becoming void 07:12
The Moon is void for over 16 hours. 
Moon apogee, slowest all month and furthest from the Earth 09:48 
The Moon enters Leo  23:58

We have a bit of an 'over the top' weekend ahead. The Sagittarian
Sun squares Neptune on Sunday which throws up a degree of crazy
chaos, and on Saturday Venus in Capricorn is sextiled by Saturn
which adds some hard heartedness to the mix. The Moon in Leo 
provides a 'no holds barred' background. If life has been a bit
drab recently this lot may just 'jiggle things up'. 

Saturday 23 November 2013

Comet Ison accelerates through 9-13 degrees tropical Scorpio today, and
is conjunct Saturn tomorrow.
The disseminating Moon in Leo very slowly waning, trines the Sun 01:50
The Moon squares her nodal axis 12:43
Moon trine Uranus 17:49
Venus waxing sextile Saturn 18:47, the dominant, and rather dour,
aspect of the day.
Saturn(and Comet Ison) are conjunct the Mars/Pluto midpoint as the day ends.
This has been building up all week.	
The meaning of the combination is 'the desire to overcome all obstacles
at any cost', (Reinhold Ebertin). Here's hoping the English Cricket team can
tap into its energy !

Bit of a crazy Sunday. The Sun squares Neptune.
The Moon, slow but now accelerating to last quarter phase, wanes
in Leo and squares Mercury in Scorpio 04:03
The Moon then squares Saturn becoming void 08:00
Another 'long lunar void of course day'.

The Sun 'waning square' Neptune 17:53
This is the dominant aspect today.
Forces are out to undermine the status quo. 
 
Mercury waning biquintile Uranus 19:50

The big event going down right now is the comet Ison, 5 days from
perihelion and today astrologically conjunct Saturn (by zodiac
coordinates). There is a seriously important event taking place
which has been in the making since the start of the solar system.
This comet brings scientific, astrological and evolutionary change.

China has demarcated an "air-defence identification zone" over
an area of the East China Sea, covering islands that are also
claimed by Japan. China's defence ministry said aircraft 
entering the zone must obey its rules or face "emergency
defensive measures". The islands, known as Senkaku in Japan
and Diaoyu in China, are a source of rising tension between
the countries.
 Japan lodged a strong protest over what it 
said was an "escalation".

The China/Japan relationship chart has had a progressed Full
Moon this year. The last Full Moon (Nov 17th) was square
relationship Saturn and transiting Saturn is today square
relationship Sun/Moon midpoint. A Jupiter return is also
occurring in the said chart. Tensions are high.

Today the slowly waning but accelerating almost last quarter Moon
enters Virgo 12:12
Venus waning semi-square Neptune 12:34
The Moon, the Sun and Neptune form a mutable T-square 17:00 to 19:30.

State of the sky:-The Sun is at 3 degrees Sagittarius today and is
in 'fire trine' aspect to Uranus on Saturday.

We are almost out of the recent eclipse season.
There are 26 days to the Winter Solstice. 
Mercury, Saturn and the lunar node are in Scorpio. 
Venus and Pluto are in Capricorn.


Mercury is now a direct morning 'star' in Scorpio, and back up to
speed after recent retrograde motion, but not yet in 'new territory'.   
Mercury is conjunct Saturn a final time tonorrow at 17 degrees
Scorpio.  He enters 'new territory' on Nov 27, sextiles Venus and
trines Jupiter on Thursday (Nov 28th) and then sextiles Mars on
Dec 3rd. Mercury enters Sagittarius on Dec 5th. 

Venus is an evening star in Capricorn approaching her station.
She is already in repeatable territory and appearing to decelerate.
Venus opposes Jupiter and sextiles Mercury on Nov 28th. Venus
is at greatest brilliancy in the evening sky on Dec 6th.
Venus turns retrograde on the Solstice day Dec 21st 2013 at 29
degrees Capricorn. On Jan 11th 2014 Venus sextiles Saturn
a 2nd time and is at inferior Conjunction with the Sun at 21
Capricorn. Venus as a morning star is squared by Mars on Jan 16th.
Venus turns direct on Jan 31st. On Feb 16th Venus is at greatest
brilliancy in the morning sky. Venus sextiles Saturn a final time on
Feb 25th, squares Mars a 2nd and final time on March 2nd and 
squares the lunar node on March 4th. Venus enters new territory
on March 4th and enters Aquarius on March 5th. Venus is back up
to speed of a degree per day by March 24th.

   
Mars is in Virgo. He leaves Virgo for Libra on Dec 7th.  Mars 
from Libra will oppose Uranus on Christmas Day and square Pluto
on New Years Eve. Both of these days will probably have their
share of unseasonable distractions.
 
We are now past the half way mark in the  3 year long series
of 7 square aspects between Uranus and Pluto. The 4th square
occurred on Nov 1st. The single Heliocentric square was on
November 23rd 2013. 

The next eclipse is a Total Lunar Eclipse in Libra on April 15th 2014.
The next Solar Eclipse is a rare 'non-central Annular Eclipse' in
tropical Taurus on April 29th 2014.
The next Total Solar Eclipse occurs on Friday March 20th 2015 at
29 Pisces and has a shadow zone that passes north of the UK through
the Faroe islands.
The 'astrological wave of the week' is the 'easy opposition' of Venus
opposite Jupiter, sextile Mercury on Thursday. Wheels and deals.
Comet Ison reaches perihelion on Thursday.

French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius says some EU sanctions on
Iran could be lifted next month, as part of a nuclear deal with
world powers negotiated over the last weekend.
This satisfactory situation is part of the  role played by the 
transit of Uranus over the natal Sun of the Iran revolutionary
chart (April 1st 1979), which is dominating that chart in 
2013-2014 and bringing some welcome changes to Iran. Transiting
Saturn has sealed the deal opposing Iran Venus/Jupiter midpoint.

Comet ISON is hurtling toward the sun today
at 148,000 mph and, despite the rising heat,
the comet appears to be intact. Yesterday,
reports of fading spectral lines from the
comet's core raised concerns that the icy
nucleus might be disintegrating. Current
images from NASA and ESA spacecraft, however,
show the comet still going strong.

Yesterday under the 'deliberate' auspices of the Moon and Mars
in Virgo the US flew two B-52 military aircraft over the 
disputed islands in the East China Sea in defiance of new Chinese
air defence rules.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said a proposed free trade deal
between Ukraine and the EU would pose a "big threat" Russia's
economy.

COMET ISON, R.I.P? Evidence mounted yesterday that comet ISON did
not survive its brush with the sun. The nucleus seemed to have
disintegrated. The story looked to be over. However, a fraction
of the comet has survived. Whether this is a small scorched
fragment of Comet ISON's nucleus or perhaps a "headless comet"--
a stream of debris marking the remains of the comet's disintegrated
core--remains to be seen.

Yesterday China sent warplanes on "routine" monitoring
patrols in its newly declared air defence zone. Tensions are
increasing in the East China Sea. 

Today the accelerating Moon in Libra with Venus and Jupiter form
a cardinal T-square 09:00 to 11:15
Moon square Jupiter  09:57
Moon square Venus 11:14 becoming void and remaining that way for
17 hours.
The Moon reaches her balsamic phase 15:01, the New Moon is on Tuesday.

We have an 'old Scorpio Moon weekend' with the Sun trine Uranus.

Yesterday China scrambled fighter jets to monitor US and Japanese
planes inside its controversial new air defence zone over disputed
islands in the East China sea.

China also was in the news as her 'Chang'e 3' Moon lander is due to 
launch imminently, perhaps as soon as Sunday evening, UK time. This
will be the first Chinese attempt to land an unmanned spacecraft
on the lunar surface. It will be the first to make a soft touchdown
on the Moon since an unmanned Russian mission in 1976.

Comet ISON is back from the dead. On Thursday, Nov. 28th, Comet ISON
flew through the sun's atmosphere and appeared to disintegrate before
the cameras of several NASA and ESA spacecraft. This prompted reports
of the comet's demise. The comet has revived and is rapidly brightening.
Comet Ison is now appearing to retrograde at 6 degrees Sagittarius. It
is the resurrected comet of the century.

An eventful 24 hours has  occurred.
Yesterday Ukrainian opposition parties urged early elections,
as dispersed protesters regrouped to condemn the government's
refusal to sign an EU deal. 
At least one person was killed by gunfire as clashes broke out
in the Thai capital Bangkok, involving pro- and anti-government
protesters.
In the UK eight people died and 14 people are in hospital
after a police helicopter crashed into a busy pub in Glasgow.
The accident occurred at 22:25 GMT on Friday. The Venus Jupiter
opposition was aligned west/east at Glasgow at the time. Saturn
was approaching the IC and Neptune was shortly to set. The true
cause of the accident has not been declared at the time of
writing. The Venus Jupiter opposition possibly suggests misjudgment.

Today the fast old Moon in Scorpio is conjunct Saturn at 09:20
This is a lunar occultation of Saturn, the 1st of 14 over
the next 14 months. The last lunar occultation of Saturn was
in October 2007.

The Moon trines Jupiter 13:16
The Moon sextiles Venus 17:12

Yesterday four people were killed and 63 injured in a passenger
train crash in the Bronx area of New York City. 
The Metro-North train's locomotive and carriages derailed as
the train went into a bend in the railway line near Spuyten
Duyvil station. At least one eyewitness said the train - the
05:54 from Poughkeepsie to Grand Central Station - was 
travelling much faster than normal at the time. CNN gave the
time of the crash as  7-20 am'. The Sun had just risen and Mars
had just culminated, indeed a Sun/Mars paran had just passed
over New York. An air of recklessness surrounds the tragedy.
Also the Moon was reeling after a lunar occultation of Saturn.


In Thailand Thai Prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra has ruled out
an early election, following six days of protests aimed at removing
her from office.
Of the two astrological charts for Thailand the 1932 map seems
the most indicative of the current event. The chart is building
up to a progressed Full Moon and partial Lunar Eclipse in 2015,
so the story of modern Thailand is approaching a powerful climax.
Transiting Pluto is currently opposite Thai Venus, indicating
intense sentiment,and transiting Saturn is square Thai Jupiter,
challenging government and constitution. The Uranus Pluto square
in the sky hits Thai Mercury in 2014.
At the moment of New Moon on Tuesday Mars culminates at Bangkok.


Today the rapidly waning very old Moon in Scorpio sextiles Mars
becoming void 01:35
The Moon enters Sagittarius 06:32 joining the Sun there.
The Moon squares Neptune 10:55
Moon trine Uranus  20:40

State of the sky:-The Sun is at 10 degrees Sagittarius today.

We are almost out of the recent eclipse season.
There are 19 days to the Winter Solstice. 
The Moon, Mercury, Saturn and the lunar node are in Scorpio. 
Venus and Pluto are in Capricorn.

The Moon is new tomorrow. This will be the first New Moon
following the Total Solar Eclipse on November 3rd 2013. 

Mercury is now a direct morning 'star' in Scorpio, and back up to
speed after recent retrograde motion and in 'new territory'.   
Mercury  sextiles Mars on Dec 3rd. Mercury enters Sagittarius on
Dec 5th. 

Venus is an evening star in Capricorn approaching her station.
Venus is at greatest brilliancy in the evening sky on Dec 6th.
Venus turns retrograde on the Solstice day Dec 21st 2013 at 29
degrees Capricorn. On Jan 11th 2014 Venus sextiles Saturn
a 2nd time and is at inferior Conjunction with the Sun at 21
Capricorn. Venus as a morning star is squared by Mars on Jan 16th.
Venus turns direct on Jan 31st. On Feb 16th Venus is at greatest
brilliancy in the morning sky. Venus sextiles Saturn a final time on
Feb 25th, squares Mars a 2nd and final time on March 2nd and 
squares the lunar node on March 4th. Venus enters new territory
on March 4th and enters Aquarius on March 5th. Venus is back up
to speed of a degree per day by March 24th.

   
Mars is in Virgo. He leaves Virgo for Libra on Dec 7th.  Mars 
from Libra will oppose Uranus on Christmas Day and square Pluto
on New Years Eve. Both of these days will probably have their
share of unseasonable distractions.
 
We are now past the half way mark in the  3 year long series
of 7 square aspects between Uranus and Pluto. The 4th square
occurred on Nov 1st. The single Heliocentric square was on
November 23rd 2013. 

The next eclipse is a Total Lunar Eclipse in Libra on April 15th 2014.
The next Solar Eclipse is a rare 'non-central Annular Eclipse' in
tropical Taurus on April 29th 2014.
The next Total Solar Eclipse occurs on Friday March 20th 2015 at
29 Pisces and has a shadow zone that passes north of the UK through
the Faroe islands.
The 'astrological wave of the week' is the positive New Moon tomorrow.

Following its Thanksgiving Day brush with solar fire, sundiving
Comet ISON is now just a cloud of dust. Among experts, a consensus
is building that the comet broke apart shortly before perihelion
(closest approach to the sun).

NEW MOON in Sagittarius 00:24
separating trine from Uranus.

cosmicpsychic.com


This is the first New Moon following the Total Solar
Eclipse on November 3rd 2013 in Scorpio and the 5th
New Moon before the Annular Solar Eclipse in Taurus
on April 29th 2014. With its passing we leave the
recent eclipse season.
The New Moon separates from a trine aspect to Uranus.
Mercury is sextile Mars and applies in square to
Neptune. Jupiter trines Saturn. Venus apples in trine
to Mars. A forthright radical and optimistic wave is
associated with today's New Moon. This lunation 'outs'
skeletons.  There is something refreshing about today's
New Moon.

At the moment of New Moon, the Sun and Moon rise at Dacca,
and culminate over New Zealand. Moonset is at Phoenix and
at Vancouver. Mars rises at Nice and at Douala, and 
culminates at Bangkok. Jupiter culminates at Ankara.
Mercury rises at Mumbai, Venus sets at Rio.

The New moon directly hits the Mars of the Egyptian chart,
the Mars Saturn conjunction in the chart of Charlotte Church,
the Mercury Jupiter conjunction of Dilma Rousseff and
Neptune in the astrology chart of David Beckham.

Today is the birthday of Ozzy Osbourne, David Villa, Christian
Benteke, Eamon Holmes and Rick Mears. All of these folk
have new chapters starting in their lives. 

Since this New Moon occurs as the Moon is near perigee, we can
expect big ocean tides over the next 48 hours.

There is a change in the sky today. 
After a lengthy residence in Scorpio, 'morning star' Mercury now 
moves into Sagittarius and resides there for a brief 24 days. He
only makes two major aspects whilst there. Mercury squares Neptune
tomorrow Dec 6th and trines Uranus on Dec 10th. Mercury enters
Capricorn on Dec 24th. Mercury is at Superior Conjunction with the
Sun on 29th Dec at 8 Capricorn.

In the northern hemisphere we are now into the 30 darkest days
of the year, the lightest 30 are starting in the south. Two weeks 
remain the solstice.

The waxing crescent Moon in Aquarius sextiles the Sun 08:05
The Moon squares Saturn becoming void 12:12 and remaining void for
over 20 hours.

Mars enters Libra  20:42

Well then we have an important ingress here. Mars will be in Libra for
a massive 230 days because of his retrograde motion next spring. Such
a lengthy stay in Libra has not occurred since the spring of 1982 and
before that the spring of 1967. (Springs in the northern hemisphere that
is.) Mars is considered to 'fall' in Libra, this is not so good a sign
for him. It can lead to great diplomatic exercises but it really tests
all relationships to the limit. This particular residence involves 3
difficult entanglements of Mars with Uranus, Pluto and Jupiter. The 
first such period is 24th Dec to Jan 9th, the second is the now
famous cardinal square of 22nd and 23rd April 2014, the final blast
is 13th to 26th June 2014, this time without Jupiter. Other notable
dates are Mars turning stationary at 27.5 degrees Libra on March 1st,
Mars opposite the Sun on April 8th, and Mars turning direct on May 20th
at 9 Libra, and Mars leaving Libra on July 26th.
The immediate itinerary is Mars opposite Uranus on Christmas day, Mars
entering 'repeatable territory on Dec 27th and Mars square Pluto and
square Mercury on New Years Eve. Mars squares Jupiter on Jan 8th.

I remember the first 8 months of 1982, when Mars was last residing in 
Libra for such a long time, as being a time when a lot of friendships
and relationships, in my circle, broke up and moved on. Others were
strongly cemented. Similar events took place in the spring of 1967.
It is with some trepidation that we enter the lengthy Mars in Libra
period today.

Now that Mars is in Libra, we have until March 5th 2014 the
difficult combination of Mars in Libra and Venus in Capricorn.
There is conflict here in sexual and romantic activities.
When the 'sweet talking guy' encounters the 'material girl', 
its not all that smooth. We are stuck with this personal planetary
combination for first 3 months of the 8 month residence of Mars
in Libra.

Today Neptune is exactly conjunct the Venus/Uranus midpoint,
and Pluto is exactly conjunct the Saturn/Neptune midpoint. Both
transits have been building up for quite a while. The later is
extremely heavy, compulsive and destructive. The first symbolises
a yearning for love. Put them together with a rampant Moon in Aries
and we have on our hands a seeding ground for rash actions.
Hold steady.

The execution of a once-powerful uncle of North Korean leader
Kim Jong-un raises fresh fears of instability in the secretive
nuclear-armed state. Right now transiting Neptune is square the
Midheaven in the North Korea chart (9th Sept 1948 17:27 JST). 
North Korea has very heavy Neptune influences ahead both from
transiting Neptune and to her natal Neptune. The looming 
cardinal T-square in the sky involving Pluto, Uranus and Mars
over Christmas and the New Year period homes in on N.Korea natal
Neptune. Many astrologers are forecasting major events ahead for
the state. 


Significant geocentric harmonic 10 around 00:00 to 06:00 GMT. This
vibration is built upon the 36 degree aspect between Uranus and
Neptune at the current time. The Moon, Venus and the Sun vibrate
at the same harmonic during the first 6 hours (GMT) of today.

The slowly waxing gibbous Moon in Taurus sextiles Jupiter 07:53
Moon opposition Saturn  08:27.

The day gathers momentum and intensity as the gibbous taurean
Moon rises mid afternoon local time.
Tomorrow sees a release of communication.

China says it has successfully landed a craft carrying a robotic
rover known as "Jade Rabbit" on the surface of the Moon, the
first soft landing there for 37 years. Transiting Saturn is
almost conjunct China's natal Venus. (China 1st Oct 1949
15:15 CCT Peking). 

A chance encounter on a railway station platform in Kent, without
which the Rolling Stones might never have existed, is to be marked
with a plaque. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards had their first proper
meeting at Dartford station on 17 October 1961. On that Tuesday 
morning the Moon was conjunct Jupiter and Saturn in Capricorn and
Mars was exactly conjunct Neptune in Scorpio, sextile Pluto.

FULL MOON in Gemini unaspected   becoming void 09:29

redbubble.com


Today's Full Moon is the second Full Moon following
the Penumbral Lunar Eclipse on October 18th 2013 and
the 4th Full Moon before the Total Lunar Eclipse on
April 15th 2014.

This Full Moon makes no major planetary aspects so its
energy is largely without focus. Nevertheless the
Jupiter Saturn trine is wholly positive and this
dominates the map. Mars is the fly in the ointment.
He is now applying in violent opposition to Uranus
and in sinister square to Pluto which colours the
two weeks ahead. There is only one planet in a fixed
sign, (Saturn in Scorpio), so things right now are in
a state of flux and lack concentration. This is however
a Full Moon to enjoy and not be afraid of. There is
vivaciousness and versatility in the ether.

At the moment of Full moon today (09:29 GMT), the Moon
rises at Manila and at Darwin. It is sunrise at Santiago
and high noon at Moscow and at Nairobi. Saturn culminates
over the UK, Pluto rises over Scotland and Ireland.
Uranus culminates over Tokyo. Mercury culminates at Istanbul
and at Alexandria. Mars culminates at Rio De Janeiro.

Today's Full moon directly hits the natal Mercury of the Dalai
Lama, the natal Venus of Julian Assange, Cher and Cat Stevens,the 
natal Saturn of Roger Walters, the natal Uranus of India, and of
Pakistan, the natal lunar node of Edward Snowden and the ascendant
of the UK Labour party.
 
Today is the birthday of Tommy Steele, Milla Jovovich, Paula
Radcliffe, and Paul Rodgers.

The day that follows drifts rudderless but fairly safely.

The 'hung over' Moon enters Cancer 18:18, joining Jupiter in
that sign and immediately applying in watery trine to Neptune.

Yesterday's highly visible Moon Jupiter conjunction coincided
with the world's financial markets rising by about 1%. As the
aspect subsided the gains receded somewhat.

Today is the last full day of the astrological month of
Sagittarius. The Solstice is tomorrow.

The very slowly waning 'hung over' full Moon in Cancer opposes
Venus becoming void 04:38
The Moon enters Leo 06:49, setting a resplendent backdrop for
the solstice.
The Moon squares her nodal axis 16:40
The Moon sextiles Mars 19:54
An inspiring night follows as the Moon makes a 'fire trine'
to Uranus shortly after midnight (GMT).

Winter Solstice 17:11 GMT. 
An excellent Moonrise to observe mid evening,
around 20:30 local time.
A colourful event.

http://www.scenicreflections.com


The Sun enters Capricorn and the moment of Solstice
occurs. At the height of the darkness the light is born.
This magical time sets the scene for the year ahead.
The Capricorn Sun sextiles Neptune invoking vision, art,
music and mathematics. The Moon in Leo applies in fixed
square to Saturn symbolising manifestation of creativity
but inhibiting growth and testing of all systems to the
limit.
We have a year of colour, self expression, no compromise. 
Mars in Libra applies in extremely challenging T-square
with Uranus and Pluto. Violence, terrorism and fanaticism
reach new heights. Venus hovers, apparently motionless, in
Capricorn about to turn retrograde. Orientation and affinity
will change. 


Jupiter in Cancer rises at London and at Paris at
the moment of Solstice. It is Moonrise at Tehran.
Uranus rises at Montreal and Neptune rises at Dallas.
Venus culminates at Brasilia, Mars culminates at
Santiago. Pluto sets over Ireland. Neptune sets at
Kabul and at Mumbai. 

Venus turns retrograde at 29 degrees Capricorn 21:52
Moon square Saturn  22:01
After 22:01 GMT the Moon, released from the testy
square of Saturn applies in a lengthy fire trine
to Mercury. The clouds clear.

Well another Winter Solstice has passed. Great joy and celebration!
We are now on the way back up to summer here in the northern
hemisphere. 
Next year's Winter Solstice occurs two and a half hours before
a New Moon, both occurring either side of midnight GMT. It will be
the darkest night of the year with only Jupiter's starlight in Leo
to show the way.

Today day starts with a positive vibration.
Places to go, people to play with.
The slowly accelerating disseminating Moon in Leo 'fire trines' Mercury becoming void 13:26
Significant geocentric harmonic 9 around 18:00 GMT
The Moon enters Virgo 19:20
Moon trine Sun 21:45

Time now to 'gird the loins' for the firecracker of Mars Uranus and
Pluto tightening in Cardinal T-square as the Christmas period ensues.

The Mars, Uranus Pluto T-square tightens, the Sun sextiles Neptune,
the Moon wanes in Virgo and Mercury slam hammers into Capricorn on
this unsettling day.

The Moon in Virgo, accelerating to last quarter, sextiles Jupiter
05:20 GMT.

Mercury enters Capricorn 10:13 joining the Sun, Venus and Pluto. 
Mercury resides in Capricorn for just 19 days but has a very busy
hard hitting schedule.
Mercury sextiles Neptune on December 26th, sextiles the lunar node
on Dec 28th. Mercury is at Superior Conjunction with the Sun and
squares Uranus on 29th Dec at 8 Capricorn. As the year ends Mercury
hooks into a 'maniac T-square' with Pluto and Jupiter. Mercury is
conjunct Pluto at 11 Capricorn on Dec 31st. Mercury opposes Jupiter
on 3rd Jan. He sextiles Saturn on Jan 6th, and is conjunct retrograde
Venus at 23 Capricorn on Jan 7th. Mercury enters Aquarius on January
11th 2014. This particular residence of Saturn in Capricorn will be
an eventful 'tough talking time'. Mercury next turns retrograde at 3
degrees Pisces on 6th March 2014.

The harsh planetary situation over Christmas coincided globally
with grave news from the world's newest country South Sudan.
International efforts are intensifying to end the bloodshed in
South Sudan, where thousands of people are believed to have died
in the past 10 days.


You can see the cardinal cross in the inception chart
for South Sudan. Never was there a worse time for
a new country to begin. Transiting Pluto was square
South Sudan Saturn on Christmas eve.

In the UK planetary tensions manifested in extreme weather
and consequential power cuts. About 50,000 homes are without
electricity in the east and south-east of England after rain
and wind lashed the UK in the run-up to Christmas.

A tense planetary situation remains in force. Mars is opposing
Uranus and square Pluto.

We are now leaving behind the 10 darkest days of the year in
the northern hemisphere. 
The Sun and Mercury are rapidly approaching the ongoing
planetary T-square of Mars, Uranus and Pluto. Much is bubbling
under and about to boil over.

Significant geocentric harmonic 15 as the day starts. This
wave involves 15th harmonic Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, the Sun
and the Moon in Virgo. A brief discerning adjustment manifests,
an easy flow of exacting creative energy.

on this day, as Mercury and the Sun apply in dynamic T-square
with Pluto, Mars and Uranus. 

The rapidly waning old Moon in Scorpio sextiles Mercury 00:03
The Moon sextiles the Sun 01:26
The Moon sextiles Pluto 09:36
The Moon trines Jupiter 18:57
This 'old Moon situation' colours today and the remaining three
days of 2013. An important New Moon occurs on New Year's Day.

Yesterday a student died in Cairo as supporters of Egypt's banned
Muslim Brotherhood clashed with police and university buildings
were set on fire. Transiting Jupiter squared Egyptian Jupiter
yesterday. Transiting Uranus opposes Egyptian Moon 2014 to 2015
so very severe disturbances in the population can be expected
in the near future. 

Thousands of youths loyal to South Sudanese rebel leader Riek
Machar marched on the town of Bor, putting earlier hopes of a
cease fire in doubt. The very difficult nature of the South
Sudan horoscope is well documented.

In the UK forecasters warned of a fresh burst of heavy rain and
wind across the UK on Monday. This will coincide with the 
challenging astrology of the next few days.

State of the sky:-The Sun reaches 9 degrees Capricorn today. 
There are 82 days to the vernal Equinox.
The Sun, Mercury Venus and Pluto are in Capricorn.
 
Mars is in a tight cardinal T-square with Uranus and Pluto.
This difficult wave crashes as the month ends. Then Mercury
hooks into a 'maniac T-square' with Pluto and Jupiter. 

Mercury is now an evening 'star' in Capricorn. Mercury 'Hesperus' is
conjunct Pluto at 11 Capricorn on Dec 31st. Mercury opposes Jupiter
on 3rd Jan. He sextiles Saturn on Jan 6th, and is conjunct retrograde
Venus at 23 Capricorn on Jan 7th. Mercury enters Aquarius on January
11th 2014. This particular residence of Mercury in Capricorn will be
an eventful 'tough talking time'. Mercury next turns retrograde at 3
degrees Pisces on 6th March 2014.

Venus is a retrograding evening star in Capricorn.

On Jan 11th 2014 Venus sextiles Saturn a 2nd time and is at 
inferior Conjunction with the Sun at 21 Capricorn. Venus as 
a morning star is squared by Mars on Jan 16th.
Venus turns direct on Jan 31st. On Feb 16th Venus is at greatest
brilliancy in the morning sky. Venus sextiles Saturn a final time on
Feb 25th, squares Mars a 2nd and final time on March 2nd and 
squares the lunar node on March 4th. Venus enters new territory
on March 4th and enters Aquarius on March 5th. Venus is back up
to speed of a degree per day by March 24th.

   
Mars is now in Libra and in 'repeatable territory' prior to his
retrograde phase.  Mars squares Pluto and Mercury on New Year's
Eve. Mars squares Jupiter on Jan 8th. 
Mars turns retrograde at 27 degrees Libra on March 1st, and is
opposite the Sun on April 8th. Mars turning direct on May 20th
at 9 degree Libra. Mars remains in Libra till July 26th.

 
We are now well past the half way mark in the 3 year long series
of 7 square aspects between Uranus and Pluto. The 5th square
will occur on April 21st 2014. The single Heliocentric square was on
November 23rd 2013. 


The next eclipse is a Total Lunar Eclipse in Libra on April 15th 2014.
The next Solar Eclipse is a rare 'non-central Annular Eclipse' in
tropical Taurus on April 29th 2014.
The next Total Solar Eclipse occurs on Friday March 20th 2015 at
29 Pisces and has a shadow zone that passes north of the UK through
the Faroe islands.

We are caught in an astrological spell right now. As this day ends
Mars tightens on a square to Pluto. The 'fag end' Moon is dangerously
burning void of course in Sagittarius. Mercury is conjunct Pluto.
Hold steady in your inner world as we approach the New Moon now 48
hours away.
