As I stated in my weekly blog, the great storm that hit the
Northeast of the US was driven not only by a Full Moon on an earth/water axis
when the tides are highest and the behavior of everything in natural world can
become exaggerated, but it was greatly enhanced by the energy of the Mars in
Sagittarius opposite a debilitated and retrograde Jupiter in Gemini that gave
the gift of expansion to Mars’ normal level of action which is already enhanced
in a fire sign like Sagittarius. Mars opposite Jupiter creates super
power/activity and old limits/restrictions/barriers are broken. A third factor
in this storm was Mercury in Scorpio square Neptune in Pisces (winds from the
sea and seawater flooding) almost exact at same time as Full Moon on Monday.
Since then the storyline of the storm has followed the daily
transits energy. On Tuesday, the storm was enhanced by Sun sextile Pluto
weaving a destructive wake behind that will require much clean-up and
un-cluttering and purging. Then today, as the storm begins to clear, issues of
fresh water, food, supplies, sanitation must be dealt with on the day Ceres
turns retrograde and squares Venus: the need for care from others in a crisis
situation. Also, the Moon in Gemini keeps the Mercury/Neptune square active as
it forms a T-square with them and keeps the winds and waves churning even as it
begins to dry out a bit. And if being
stuck and having to obey authorities and be conservative and responsible in
your own movement/actions doesn’t describe a Mars/Saturn semi-square, then what
does?
Now we’ll be entering the rest of the week with Venus
forming an exact T-square with Uranus/Pluto: you can be sure tattered and
bruised nerves will have people lashing out at each other, while others form
quick yet deep respectful bonds to overcome a challenge together. With Pluto at
the top of the point of the T-square, transformation and reformation will be
permanent, deep, scarring. Issues of shared life and death and rebirth
experiences will be a part of many people’s lives. With Mercury Retrograde
approaching next week, you can be sure residual issues in normal
communications, travel, commerce, education, information, and routine will
continue to be felt acutely for the next month.
On a personal note, my Mom & Dad live in Toms River, NJ
so the center of the storm hit them dead on. Pt Pleasant Beach is the town on
the ocean side of the bay that got buried in sand 3 feet deep. Since I was
standing on that street 2 months ago, it’s hard to imagine the change that has
occurred. Mom and Dad made it safely through storm with a short power outage
(lines are underground in their neighborhood = smart!) and some broken tree
branches. Right out on the highway, boats from the harbor two miles away were
now parked! Last year NYC got a freak blizzard Halloween week, this year a
hurricane. This is the time of the year when the spirit world is said to be
closest and most influential upon people and affairs of the earth. Is the
spirit of the Earth/Gaia/Mother Nature striking blows to the epitome of human
civilization as represented by New York City/Manhattan? A thought we should all
be pondering perhaps, especially as we approach an election that no one wants
to seem to talk about climate change consequences in, or how economy can
continue to pay for the costs of these storms/disasters without producing more
debt. And remember, Mitt Romney wants to eliminate FEMA. You’d be on your own
to work it out privately with for profit companies. Ouch.
