We've had some intensified heavy storms of astrological weather the past few weeks and starting next this week we have a few weeks back to a bit more normal degree of chaos on Planet Earth. :)
Some of you have conveyed the wish I could do this daily, and I wish I could too, as for the most part I have to ignore lunar transits when doing a weekly forecast. Right Now, Life in all It's Infinite Wisdom has not deemed me the resources necessary to pull that off, so I trust Its Reality in the Now is right for me now (if you can follow that convulated stream). One thing I do have to remind you though (because I think I mentioned it before in a past blog) is that while the Cardinal Square/T-Square between/among Pluto and Uranus/Saturn is active (through 2015 for the square people!), every week the Moon will have one day with hard aspects to it, and that will be the day you will emotionally feel the issues of today's world and your own personal issues connected with that the most/deepest - so that will be a stressful day: this week it is Wednesday, last week it was Thursday. Last Thursday, people were calling me stressed out all day.
This Monday is an excellent day to get the week started and get working on whatever you're doing with a Sagitarrius Moon and Mercury in Leo sextile Mars in Gemini: expect lots of communications, plans to take action, filling of the calender, short trips and errands, etc. It's also a great day to do work either/or/both physically and mentally. (Aside: my blog is so late today because of this Mercury/Mars combo: phone has been ringing and e's filling box all day!)
Ceres ingresses into Aries today also, but is stationing also right on the very important 0* Aries Point (beginning of the zodiac), and will go retrograde on August 4th (through November 12th) and head right back to Pisces for remainder of this year. This may have something to do with the budget talks in being so slow on all levels - Pisces has made it a very slippery affair trying to divvy up resources this year on all levels and it looks like it will continue to do so. Now it goes into Aries as Obama and Congress battle it out over the debt ceiling - a decision that must be made right when Ceres goes retrograde - and the fighting words/boxing gloves are on politically. Don't expect any solid long term solution though - it will remain nebulous for the long term. It's actually possible they may let the US fall into default as a country over an inability to compromise now. Same in our personal lives with resources. Ceres in Pisces is trying to teach us to love our Mother Earth and understand the Oneness that connects all/everything we share on Earth also and how to honor that.
Wednesday, Venus makes the last of its hard aspects to the Cardinal T-square creating a Cardinal Grand Cross (see last week's blog for more detail on this). Venus square Saturn will cool off/sober up relationships. You will see the Shadow side of others, feel restricted by responsibilities to others, be conservative in social situations. etc. This is actually a good day to work alone or to have work as the focus of your relating with others. Solid relationships can be built now, or big challenges within relationships can be acted upon. Once again, this is an indicator of resticted resources. This will likely not be a good week for the markets, economies, investments.
Thursday is the Full Moon in Capricorn. It is very easy to slip into fear on the Capricorn/Cancer axis and try to control everything/everyone around you via manipulation, ruthlessness, restriction, etc. What we need to do is remember the original source here of why this energy exists: to survive and protect - to make sure our loved ones and ourselves are able to survive - a form of love! That's why we take measures to nurture and give, to create boundaries and relegate duties - so that the ones we love can survive! Fear of losing them/their love/our ability to help them survive is a vicious cycle to fall into, for fear feeds fear, and then the worst parts of this axis comes out. This Full Moon should help us to see where these fears lie and to begin the emotional alchemical process of returning them to love, a nurturing/understanding/protective love for all - everyone deserves it: you, your family, your friends, and all the rest of the world - who are all at the most only 34th cousins or less to you relations-wise according to the latest genetic studies. That's how we can begin to re-create the world through the power of our individual actions and through love: to remember we all deserve it always! This helps us to understand others and thus ourselves in the process. Look to the houses in your chart to see what areas of life this will manifest for you personally. Each must do their part, but along with others, to ensure the survival of both self and humanity - that's what this Full Moon is telling us. Empathize with others to the level that you do with yourself - and if you don't for yourself, then find someone or something to help you learn to do so, so that you in turn may do so for others. Mercury opposite Vesta, sesiquadrate Uranus, with Mars quintile Uranus and trine Vesta on Thursday/Friday will fill these two days up with electric connections that are imbalanced, exciting, nerve-wracking, visionary, and very active.
Saturday is a good day to chill out with Venus sesiquadrate Neptune and 3 positive Moon aspects. Have fun, relax, socialize, go see/make art, etc. Ditto with Sunday.
See, more normal astrological weather, but the reality is (or metaphor), we've changed the weather for good: we are in accelerated times and there's no slowing down in the forecast.

Astrological Winds for Week of 7/4/11
So like I mentioned last week, it's Venus' turn to aspect all the outer planets hard this week in the Cardinal T-square making it a Cardinal Grand Cross. With Venus involved, relationships will likely be the area of manifestation, but finances, art/creativity, leisure pusuits can all be affected too. Venus in Cancer is interesting: it's an affectionate/warm/protecting kind of love that is conjugal and familial in expression many times. Thus, a great time of the year for marriage, or school being out and the family unit spending QT with one and other on vacation/outings. The Shadow side of Cancer can be emotional manipulation or "smothering"types of love from certain family members who's own life is empty without family to find some self-value through.
On Monday, Venus hits the sweetest of the sweet with a trine to Neptune - perfect for 4th of July in the typical familial gathering. There's a beautiful connection between higher and lower forms of love when these two meet up and even more so with a trine. Romance, compassion, empathy, creativity, inspiration, deep spiritual connections/experiences, positive emotions, emotional sensitivity/connectedness, etc. are all part of this make up. At the same time that theses deep positive emotional vibes are going on, Mercury in Leo is trine Uranus in Aries too, bringing boldly inspired inspiration, ideas, self-expression to our mental side. This is fun loving and mischievious even: go out and have some fun with loved ones on this holiday.
Tuesday, Mercury squares Jupiter, which can fill us with grandiose ideas and bring what seems to be some positive expansion, at least on the surface and in the present. However, I have seen this aspect many times show up quickly with many problems from bighting off more than you can chew, and the gamble/risks you take now may have you on the losing end when all plays out. Use your intuition and be smart here - run through all the details as Moon is in Virgo and practicality is available. This energy could be used more safely by just challenging yourself to learn more about anything you need to know. Mercury is actually involved in another short term, yet very powerful aspect this day: it is quincunx both Chiron and Pluto, which are sextile each other. This forms a yod, or Hand-of-God/Fate, aspect with Mercury at the point. It shows a need for one to work on the self to do some deep psychological purging in order to release guilt and fear and accept the weaker, Shadow sides of ourselves. It asks us to redefine our attitudes about our fear and negative traits - to love ourselves despite. If we are able to tap into deep enough of a level, we can sense a deep need to do this and an actual desire of the self to do so - there's also some fear/trepidation, but an excitement in wondering what life can be like with less of a load that is blocking you from a deeper part of your true self, not your programmed self.
Wednesday Mars in Gemini is trine Saturn: this is an excellent day to get work done/be majorly productive/efficient, either physical or mental or any combination thereof. Truly, you will get a deep self-satisfaction out of what you can achieve today.
Thursday is the first of three trines of Jupiter in Taurus to Pluto in Capricorn in effect through mid-March next year. These two together can normally bring some big, powerful expansions in markets, finances, investments, strength, knowledge, power bases, value systems, the law. My feeling with this one is that it will give some gains to those already in power, but for the rest of the world, it may actually teach us to be more efficient and to realize how much we already have, and putting what we do have to a more maximum output in order to regain some sense of stability. This can also spur more growth in spiritual and self-healing pursuits. It is best to use this energy for mutual benefits to self and others by reforming the world around us into more harmonious ways of living.
Venus sqaures Uranus on Thursday also, and this usually indicates a desire to break away from the same people you normally relate to every day and find some new folks to hang out with. However, these new relationships are usually very short-termed in nature. Many of us may experience this by meeting someone different today who may be a bit eccentric in nature. Relationships that are under stress at this time may be suddenly and surprisingly be broken from, or you may make some rash decision that can upset existing relationships. Your patience for your normal loved ones may be thin and sarcasm/cynicism between you could creep in. There could also be shocks with finances/investments, or you could come up with some brilliant creative ideas. With Sun sesiquadrate Neptune this day too, some of us may end up thoroughly confused/lost by these shocks, while others may be in a listless/lazy/escapist zone.
Friday, Venus opposes Pluto and sextiles Jupiter. Normally, Jupiter/Venus together in a sextile can bring some lucky breaks, but in this case it may just inflate the energy of the stronger Venus/Pluto opposition. This could be a harbinger for the continued divide between us (regular people struggling to have secure resources) vs. them (those with more and more resources and power) that is dominating the political landscape these days across the planet. This is the aspect of fierce power struggles within relationships both personal and Collective/mundane. Lines are being drawn/dares are being made - who will decide to make a move to break the impasse? Sub-concious energy/fears dominate our relations with others. This a is a time where we have to be careful with our investments on all levels and seriously question our own relationship to resources. Powerful creative output is available too, especially when we can come together equally with another or group. Venus trine Chiron will help facilitate that.
On Saturday, with Mercury sextile that day's ruler, Saturn, we will have the opportunity to get much work done and the energy to make it happen. This is good for any type of mental work or detailed work/planning. The mind will be on serious concerns but in a controlled enthusiastic way. It's a good day to work with others too. Uranus goes retrograde this day too, a subtle shift. It will remain so until Decemer 11th, reminding us that the revolution we want to see in our outer world is driven by the one we must first make in our inner world, and that ultimately we are all on our own in our Hero's Journey - that no one can force us onto it - we must choose to take that lonely, yet rewarding path of our own volition.
Relationships will be the issue this week - striking the right balance between your's and other's needs will be key in resolution.

Speaking This Week
I will be speaking this week at the Desert Crones Meeting for women older than 50, although I heard younger than 50 is OK, but absolutely no men or children. The lecture will be on the current Uranus/Pluto Square and what it means for humanity and what we can do about it. The meeting is on Thursday from 1-3 PM at Fellowship Square Villa III, 210 N. Maguire Ave, Tucson, AZ. More info: 886-55-37 or 409-3356.
Astrological Winds for Week of 6/27/11
As many of you are aware of the outer planets are locked in a long term Grand Aspect configuration of a Cardinal T-square among Uranus opposite Saturn both square Pluto with the square between Uranus and Pluto lasting until 2015. This configuration is in the early (1st 10*) of the cardinal signs Aries, Libra and Capricorn and provides the long term background of these tumultuous times during these years: a breakdown of society/tradition/culture/authority through rebellious acts and surprising events (both human and nature driven) that are completely transforming the times and our reality. So this energy is there in the background every day now, but some days/weeks it is more acute when some of the inner planets, which we feel/experience more subjectively as human beings on a personal level, pass through early degrees of cardinal signs also, thus making aspects to these long term planets and bringing them into our subjective reality in more concrete terms/levels. This is especially stressful when one of the inner planets fills in the open leg of the above T-square by filling in the Cancer side and creating a Cardinal Grand Cross. Mercury did that last week when it went into Cancer and the Sun in Cancer is currently doing it and in a week or so it will be Venus' turn and a month after that it will be Mars' turn! A Cardinal Grand Cross can spring up so many issues simultaneously that it is difficult to get a grip on any of them. It can make the mind and your actions very scattered and thus it may feel as if you're the proverbial boy with the "fingers in the dyke" trying to maintain while it becomes virtually impossible to do so. The best course of action is to focus on one issue deeply, as many times it will bring the awareness that all the issues are actually tied together and that resolving one starts to help resolve the others.
The Sun opposes Pluto on Monday to start off this intense week. Most of us will be forced into some type of big decision this week that revolves around a need to change/transform our lives, but is bringing up alot of fear and a part of us that wants to hold on for dear life. It's definitely a power struggle within between the ego/will and a much deeper/sub-concious part of ourselves, that can easily be projected into our outer reality in a myriad of ways with others or even our present subjective reality. Still, it is best to not make rash judgements right now that could endanger our well-being - it's best to avoid dangerous people/places/situations this week if possible. Resources/family/home/partners/authorities can all be sources of this stress. Fortunately, on Monday, there are two very helpful aspects. The first is Mars sextile Uranus, which will likely be experienced as excitement at the possibilities of change and what it can mean for you, and even unexpected opportunities to act immediately in confronting necessary changes in a postive and enthusiastic way. The second is Sun trine Chiron: that accepting the need to transform is actually the flow right now, and that ability to learn and get healing from these experiences and to forge deeper connections with others having similiar experiences so that we can learn from one another is at a peak time.
Be wary on Tuesday that soemof the anger you may be feeling under the surface could be triggered and lash out and actually do some damage when Mars is square Chiron. The obstacles that are blocking you now are requiring super human effort to overcome, so it's natural to feel angry, but dumping on someone else will not help. The best use of this energy is to channel it into a "do not quit" attitude - a peaceful warrior.
Mars quincunx Pluto on Wednesday can make you feel quite restless, nervous, scattered in your actions, yet without an ability to quite put a finger on why, whcih can actually be quite disturbing. It's a feeling if needing to run/purge something/let something go, yet what is it? Once again, avoid dangerous situations today as much as possible.
Friday is a New Moon in Cancer/Solar Eclipse square Saturn- the last of three eclipses in this eclipse season at 9* Cancer this time. This eclipse series (SS 13 South) usually has something to do with expansion, but also brings up all the issues that come with expansion. Of course, the Sun/Moon are now completing the Grand Cross - this can be one of the most stressful times of the year for humanity. It's become obvious that if we don't change our ways that our very survival could be at risk. Old ways of doing things must be torn down and replaced wirth innovative new strategies that benefit all of Life. Many of these ideas are out there, the squares show it is time to seriously activate them, to rise to the challenges of these times, to initiate new actions and solutions now! Saturn in Libra's tight square to the New Moon/Eclipse says we are all responsible - we all must do our part, and it will be hard work to do so, and that it will only work if there is equality and justice for all and through our collaborating with others. Uranus in Aries shows we all need to be fearless leaders in our own circles and to bring our most brilliant. individual contributions to the table. As mentioned earlier, the opposition to Pluto in Capricorn shows an need to face our fears, our Shadow, our power and to react to them in a positive self-empowering fashion without hurting others in the process. This eclipse is telling us this is the beginning of the challenge as far as actions go: that for the past 50 years many great ideas have been seeded, but now they must be put into action for humanity to take its next step forward in evolution and to overcome the myriad of problems now facing humanity because of our own decisions in the past. Mercury's ingress into Leo on this same day should embolden our minds and tongues to speak out about how we feel and what we feel needs to be done, just don't get too mentally voyuearistic or you could wind up looking silly. It also helps us to remember the lighter/child-like/playful side of life even in tough times. Jupiter sextile Chiron on Saturday will also aid you with opportunities to learn valuable information on how to proceed. It's a good time to take a class, attend a lecture, visit someone/somewhere off your beaten path, etc to broaden learning.

Fixed Star Analysis of Ft. Calhoun, NE on 6/7/11
I decided to look at the fixed stars for the day the release supposedly started. To say it fits the events well is an understatement.
In mundane events, one first looks at the Sun's parans to stars and the Helical Rising and Setting Stars to find the main themes for that altitude every year on this day. For 41* North, the Helical Rising Star is Menkar in Cetus, the Whale. This is one of the most intense stars to deal with for it has to do with big issues that we've pushed deep into the subconcious Collectively (THE WHALE: big & deep indeed) and have now surfaced through an event or individual that the Collective will then demonize while denying the part that each has to play in the events. In this case, the issue is how we get our energy and the dangerous by-products of that choice - and the reality is we all Collectively take advantage of the energy provided whether we agree with the method of delivery or not. Brady says of Menkar as Helical Rising Star: "The emergence or eruption of hidden or violent issues." The Helical Setting Star is Arcturus in Bootes. This is a star of adventure and leadership in a protective way, not a domineering way. Brady says: "Exploring different options." Perhaps that's the solution?!
There are 5 Sun parans this time of the year at this latitude and 3 are worth mentioning here. Aldebaran, the Eye of the Bull in Taurus, and one of the 4 Royal Stars of Persia, and thus one of the most fated stars is even more so in this position as it is arising and lying hidden as the Sun is rising. Aldebaran brings success, but for it to continue honesty and plans must be adhered to, otherwise a great fall could occur. With the Sun, Brady says: "A military event." Ankaa is on the nadir as the Sun is setting and also arising and lying hidden giving it a fateful quality also. Brady says: "To rebuild, to rise from the ashes." El Nath, the Horn of the Bull, another intense star, is rising as the Sun is rising. El Nath is a very military like star. Brady says: "Issues of attacks, battles or aggression." It's important to remember the whole 41* latitude around the globe is sensitive to the above, so these alone do not make Ft Calhoun any more sensitive then anywhere else at 41*, but just part of its background energy at this time of year every year currently.
To hone in more on that look at outer planet parans that are active (similiar to outer planet transits active for several months) now in Ft. Calhoun. Parans to Pluto describe the crisis and the changes occurring. Alphecca, the Woman's Crown, in Corona Borealis, is setting while Pluto is setting. Alphecca is a star of great achievement yet requires great sacrifice, usually lives! Brady says: "Those who seek power come undone." Alphecca is also in a more than usual fated position because it is in a condition known as curtailed passage. Alhena, one of the feet of the Twins is setting while Pluto is rising. Brady says: "A shift of foundations, taking a different path of action." Uranus parans decribe how the public Collectively feels about the event. There is one paran to Uranus: it is on the nadir as Antares is rising. Antares is the Heart of the Scorpion and one of the Royal Stars of Persia and thus more fateful than the others. It brings great success which ends up becoming one's own demise. Brady says: "Collective worry, Collective concern about well being."
Saturn parans show how the Law and Civic Order are handled during this time period and is honed in even tighter time and location wise. There are 2 worth mentioning: Saturn setting while Facies is culminating. Facies can be very ruthless, especially when in positions of power, when it can become dictatorial. Brady says "An attack on civil rights or groups of people." Saturn is setting while Hamal is rising. Hamal is the Horns of the Ram and is active, independent, admired despite being so, and roguish in nature. Brady says: "Harsh critics, people are angry." This seems to all back up the cover up of this story and supposed forced evacuation of many people from the immediate area.
Mars parans show the events specific to that day. Algol is culminating while Mars is culminating. Algol is the Head of the Beast/Gorgon. It is another violent and vicious star. Brady says: "Tragic events or losses." It seems very likely on June 7th some tragic event took place in Ft. Calhoun.
Mercury parans shows the media reaction on that day. Mercury is setting while Bellatrix is setting. Bellatrix is a star of success as long as one is courageous and faces the Shadow. Here we have a local TV station send a crew up the Missouri River to check the plant's condition out and reveal it to outside world. Brady says: "The clever plan revealed." Mercury is also on the nadir while Antares (see above) is culminating. Brady says: "Anxiety and worry."
The Moon parans shows the emotions of people in reaction to the event that day. Menkar (see above) is setting as the Moon is culminating. Brady says: "Emotions running high in the general public." Also, Capulus culminating as the Moon is rising. Once again, Capulus repeats a theme of a leader who takes control of a situation but can be cruel in doing so many times. Brady says: "A hostile environment, cruelty." These were the emotions local people were feeling specifically that day in this area. Once again, the astrology indicates that the leaked out stories seem to hold much validity.
In closing, please note Jupiter parans show which action should be taken that would be most beneficial in light of the event. There is one: Jupiter on the nadir with Aculeus rising, one of the stingers in the Scorpion, and speaks of attacks that drain or weaken, many times health. Brady says: "To come at a problem from a different angle." Indeed, oil spills, acid rain, nuclear events, dams that kill off habitat - all these sources of energy need to be eliminated and replaced with ones that come from a different angle: solar, wave, wind, geothermal, etc. With hope, events like these will spur humanity to do so.
In mundane events, one first looks at the Sun's parans to stars and the Helical Rising and Setting Stars to find the main themes for that altitude every year on this day. For 41* North, the Helical Rising Star is Menkar in Cetus, the Whale. This is one of the most intense stars to deal with for it has to do with big issues that we've pushed deep into the subconcious Collectively (THE WHALE: big & deep indeed) and have now surfaced through an event or individual that the Collective will then demonize while denying the part that each has to play in the events. In this case, the issue is how we get our energy and the dangerous by-products of that choice - and the reality is we all Collectively take advantage of the energy provided whether we agree with the method of delivery or not. Brady says of Menkar as Helical Rising Star: "The emergence or eruption of hidden or violent issues." The Helical Setting Star is Arcturus in Bootes. This is a star of adventure and leadership in a protective way, not a domineering way. Brady says: "Exploring different options." Perhaps that's the solution?!
There are 5 Sun parans this time of the year at this latitude and 3 are worth mentioning here. Aldebaran, the Eye of the Bull in Taurus, and one of the 4 Royal Stars of Persia, and thus one of the most fated stars is even more so in this position as it is arising and lying hidden as the Sun is rising. Aldebaran brings success, but for it to continue honesty and plans must be adhered to, otherwise a great fall could occur. With the Sun, Brady says: "A military event." Ankaa is on the nadir as the Sun is setting and also arising and lying hidden giving it a fateful quality also. Brady says: "To rebuild, to rise from the ashes." El Nath, the Horn of the Bull, another intense star, is rising as the Sun is rising. El Nath is a very military like star. Brady says: "Issues of attacks, battles or aggression." It's important to remember the whole 41* latitude around the globe is sensitive to the above, so these alone do not make Ft Calhoun any more sensitive then anywhere else at 41*, but just part of its background energy at this time of year every year currently.
To hone in more on that look at outer planet parans that are active (similiar to outer planet transits active for several months) now in Ft. Calhoun. Parans to Pluto describe the crisis and the changes occurring. Alphecca, the Woman's Crown, in Corona Borealis, is setting while Pluto is setting. Alphecca is a star of great achievement yet requires great sacrifice, usually lives! Brady says: "Those who seek power come undone." Alphecca is also in a more than usual fated position because it is in a condition known as curtailed passage. Alhena, one of the feet of the Twins is setting while Pluto is rising. Brady says: "A shift of foundations, taking a different path of action." Uranus parans decribe how the public Collectively feels about the event. There is one paran to Uranus: it is on the nadir as Antares is rising. Antares is the Heart of the Scorpion and one of the Royal Stars of Persia and thus more fateful than the others. It brings great success which ends up becoming one's own demise. Brady says: "Collective worry, Collective concern about well being."
Saturn parans show how the Law and Civic Order are handled during this time period and is honed in even tighter time and location wise. There are 2 worth mentioning: Saturn setting while Facies is culminating. Facies can be very ruthless, especially when in positions of power, when it can become dictatorial. Brady says "An attack on civil rights or groups of people." Saturn is setting while Hamal is rising. Hamal is the Horns of the Ram and is active, independent, admired despite being so, and roguish in nature. Brady says: "Harsh critics, people are angry." This seems to all back up the cover up of this story and supposed forced evacuation of many people from the immediate area.
Mars parans show the events specific to that day. Algol is culminating while Mars is culminating. Algol is the Head of the Beast/Gorgon. It is another violent and vicious star. Brady says: "Tragic events or losses." It seems very likely on June 7th some tragic event took place in Ft. Calhoun.
Mercury parans shows the media reaction on that day. Mercury is setting while Bellatrix is setting. Bellatrix is a star of success as long as one is courageous and faces the Shadow. Here we have a local TV station send a crew up the Missouri River to check the plant's condition out and reveal it to outside world. Brady says: "The clever plan revealed." Mercury is also on the nadir while Antares (see above) is culminating. Brady says: "Anxiety and worry."
The Moon parans shows the emotions of people in reaction to the event that day. Menkar (see above) is setting as the Moon is culminating. Brady says: "Emotions running high in the general public." Also, Capulus culminating as the Moon is rising. Once again, Capulus repeats a theme of a leader who takes control of a situation but can be cruel in doing so many times. Brady says: "A hostile environment, cruelty." These were the emotions local people were feeling specifically that day in this area. Once again, the astrology indicates that the leaked out stories seem to hold much validity.
In closing, please note Jupiter parans show which action should be taken that would be most beneficial in light of the event. There is one: Jupiter on the nadir with Aculeus rising, one of the stingers in the Scorpion, and speaks of attacks that drain or weaken, many times health. Brady says: "To come at a problem from a different angle." Indeed, oil spills, acid rain, nuclear events, dams that kill off habitat - all these sources of energy need to be eliminated and replaced with ones that come from a different angle: solar, wave, wind, geothermal, etc. With hope, events like these will spur humanity to do so.
Is There a Nuclear Incident Occurring in Ft. Calhoun, NE?
You may have heard the News now (http://nation.com.pk/pakistan-news-newspaper-daily-english-online/International/18-Jun-2011/US-orders-news-blackout-over-crippled-Nebraska-Nuclear-Plant-report) that a Category 4 nuclear disaster is occurring at a nuclear power plant in Ft. Calhoun, MO (equivalent to the disaster in Japan in terms of actual radiation release), and that a news blackout has been ordered by the President himself (this is why it came and went on the newswire very quickly and was never picked up again). Here's a link to a local TV news stations report on it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzj6tv32guo
on Youtube.
Anyway, an old friend asked if it was possible that this was really going on, since he lives relatively close by in Kansas City area. Just a few days ago I blogged here a quick analysis of the Solstice Chart and what it meant for US in next 3 months: recall, "...possible attacks, power struggles, large deadly events in our homeland due to both natural and man-made disasters..." My reasoning behind this was because of one of the parts of the Cardinal Grand Cross, Pluto conjunct I/C in Capricorn in 4th house. Pluto, of course, rules plutonium and the atomic/nuclear industry. It also exposes the ugly underbelly of humanity by bringing to the surface the things we like to pretend don't exist or are not a problem - the things we submerge to our subconcious until they come back to haunt us in our concious world. It is in the 4th house and conjunct the I/C: the home land, the actual physical land of a nation in a mundane reading. Pluto also co-rules the 3rd house in the chart showing the results of this event: the power play to muzzle the press and hide this event from the information/communication channels that the nation uses. Also remember this from last blog: "...emotional manipulation in order to control the public by the President/Executive Branch of the government..." I saw this because of Mercury, the planet of communications, in Cancer in the 10th house opposite Pluto in the Grand Cross. The 10th house is the Executive Branch/President/Leader, and the opposition shows forcing a decision onto others, and the Cancer theme shows the manipulation in order to protect others by "the less they know, the better" motto. Mercury rules the 12th house so once again the result is about keeping secrets, possibly deadly, secrets by large institutions. I also ran a horary chart for when he asked me via e mail, and that chart also reponded a "yes." (Mercury in Cancer ended up being the significator of the chart and it was tightly square (to within 7 minutes) Saturn opposite Pluto, and trine Moon/Chiron). So unfortunately, the answer from an astrological perspective seemingly confirms that there is a very strong possibility this event is occurring currently.

Astrological Winds for Week of 6/20/11 & Solstice Chart for USA
This week starts off with Mars ingressing into Gemini for the next 6-7 weeks. This will push mental energy to a highly active peak, and allow the mind to become more flexible in its approach to problems, but it may also easily get immersed in trivial pursuits or overwhelmed by the sheer amount of things grabbing for your attention. It can also indicate intellectual battles, but gives us the ability to find new solutions to blockages and problems we've been facing. This is a good time for people who are normally very fixed/set in their ways to introduce some changes to their patterns/behaviors. In general, the pace of life picks up for most people during this time with summer activities, connections, excursions, etc.
Tuesday is the Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere with the Sun ingressing into Cancer (see my mundane report for USA on this below following this blog). This brings more of a focus on family, home, and security in our personal lives. Nurturing others is a gift, but not to the point of emotional manipulation, which will only drive others away from you. Remember to pursue one of your own dreams during this time too, so all of your emotions are not invested in the results of actions of loved ones.
Tuesday also has two difficult squares to deal with: Mercury squares Saturn (see last week's blog on Mercury aspecting all the outer planets these past few days) creating a Cardinal Grand Cross among itself with squares to Saturn and Uranus and an opposition to Pluto. The restrictions placed on us right now are downright hard and are seemingly coming from every direction simultaneously. This can be quite overwhelming to both the mind and emotions (Mercury in Canncer) and have us in a depressed/restricted/conservative mind set. It's as if the weight of the world is on our shoulders and we see the Shadow in all. Remember, this is only a passing phase. It is best to use this energy to tackle some hard mental work that requires a discplined mind and a critical eye. Criticizing others at this time is likely to lead to defensive reactions and depressing bursting of the bubble type scenes. It's best to be self-critical and work on correcting your own faults. Focus on one issue at a time in order not to be too weighed down. Making headroads on a solution to one problem may lead to answers/breaks in starting to resolve others. To top all of this off, Mars squares Neptune this day also, which can add to lowered psycological/emotional states, and can also drain you of your physical energy. This is not a day for hard labor or fast movement: take your time, be cautious, try to move in a slowed down harmonious way or you could even jeapardize your health/well-being in some way.
Wednesday the Sun trines Neptune moving into a Grand Trine in Air with Neptune/Chiron and Saturn. This seems to be saying that the solution to the issues above is to focus on the spiritual side of life and to building stable/equal relationships in order to build a world more in tune with higher ideals. This is a time when collaboration with like minded groups should flow easily, and a time when you should speak your mind about the insights and points of view that you have to offer to make changes to our world that lead to more compassion and empathy in our approach to common problems/issues.
Saturday the Sun sextiles Jupiter which can bring some expansive opportunities our way. This is a good day to enjoy life through some postive endeavors that support and broaden your values, philosophies, plans, etc. Plans should work out this day, so get out and do something fun with others along for the ride.
Sunday the Sun locks into a square with Uranus and enters the same Cardinal Grand Cross that is mentioned above with Mercury. The problems in the world today and for the immediate future are persistent and tireless and we must meet them with that same energy. The Sun/Uranus square will find us wanting to do something radical/extreme in order to break free of the grip of them. The problem with that is we can seriously misjudge the effects of these actions and end up hurting ourselves. This is a good day to do something different: it doesn't have to be uber-over-the-top and risky, but it should add some thrill/zest/spark to your life that can give you a renewed sense of vigor to tackle all that is dragging you down.

A Quick Look at the Summer Solstice Chart for USA
The 4 seasonal ingress charts can be looked at to see the types of issues facing a nation over the next 3 months. For the USA, setting the chart for Washington, DC at 1:17 PM EDT on June 21st, gives an Ascendant of 1* Libra with Sun conjunct the 1* Cancer Midheaven and the Moon at 10* Pisces in the 6th house. There is a Cardinal Grand Cross in the angular houses with Saturn/ASC in Libra in the 1st opposite Uranus/DESC in Aries in the 7th house and square Sun/Mercury/MC in Cancer in the 10th house and square Pluto/IC in Capricorn in the 4th house. This is a very powerful statement that indicates many serious issues taking our national attention including our allies rebelling against us in our approach to wars and foreign policy and a subsequent loss of US influence in many parts of the world; continued escalating and persistent violence by our enemies in the wars we are involved in; possible attacks, power struggles, large deadly events in our homeland due to both natural and man-made disasters; emotional manipulation in order to control the public by the President/Executive Branch of the government; continued exposure of how deep the real estate collapse has affected the country; continued deterioration of infrastructure; a general feeling of malaise by the public about current events; etc. The Moon conjunct Neptune and Chiron in Pisces in the 6th house show that the Public, civil servants, military, and police feel absolutely lost, deceived, and hurt by the state of things and the leaders, and Mars square Neptune shows we don't know what actions to take at this point, but we do know that what we are doing now is not working and frought with lies and deceit. The chart's ruler and exalted ruler may show the way out however: Venus is in Gemini in the 9th house trine Saturn in Libra in the 1st house and square the Moon in Pisces in the 6th house. This indicates that people need to sit down with one and other and start to share info and build solid relationships by looking into alternatives to our current value systems, laws, foreign policy, etc that require equality and justice for all. The Moon in the 6th conjunct Chiron show that the people in this country do have the creative ideas and skills and the desire to work them that are necessary to begin a national healing journey together, but they will have to lead/overcome those who resist by using compassion and empathy and postitve messaging. This will be a long road, but it is one that must be started even if they can not get leaders to join them at this point. Much more could be said about this chart, but the reality is if we don't begin to value our relationships to everyone on the planet and begin to take over responsibilty about shifting our national values and being less reliable on our leaders to see us through, we will be continued to be led down a road of national ruin.
