Uranus squares Pluto at 7° - 8° of cardinal signs. This is the waxing square
of the cycle that started in the mid 1960s, with the conjunction of these two
planets in mid Virgo. This square is a symbol of innovation competing directly
with the entrenched power elite (corporate power may be challenged in a new
and positive way, especially in a U.S. election year). Mountain Astrologer
2012 will see the start of 3 years of global innovation and rebellion with the aforementioned Uranus square Pluto.
(The years around 2026 with Pluto in Aquarius and Uranus in Gemini may be even more rebellious times than 2012-2015).
2012 lists fourteen predicted occultations, with eight of them involving the planet Jupiter, four involving Mercury, one of Venus, one of Mars.
All of these are included in the Daze commentary.
January 2012 starts with Jupiter opposite Saturn eased by Neptune, a planetary picture that lasts all month.
Forecasts and trends 2012
In case you missed recent commentaries on this site regarding 2012 here is a selection.
Syria's President Assad was born Sept 11 1965, a member of the the Uranus conjunct Pluto
generation, on a full Moon day. His chart is muddy, (no fire, much water and earth)
Saturn transits his natal Venus Dec 2011 to Sept 2012 and opposes the Sun in
the Syrian Independence chart during this period. Pluto likely sextiles the the Syrian
Moon in 2012 too. The progressed Sun entered Cancer in Dec 2012, a new 30 year
chapter has started for the country. The Bacch party, to which Assad belongs,
has a chart where Neptune has been hovering in 2011 conjunct lunar node and
has the double whammy of the lunar node conjunct natal Neptune in August 2012.
So Assad will loose popularity and much more, the party faces dissolution and the country
emerges with a more powerful populace. We shall see.
The astrological chart for Greece (1974) portrays a proud and thoroughly
protective populace. Saturn is currently conjunct natal Uranus, and Uranus hovers in trine to natal Saturn,(now to Aug 2012) the
progressed Moon is waxing to the full in Aquarius (2014). Fierce and resolute independence
is suggested at this time. The question is will Greece remain in 'Eurozone'?
The natal Libra Moon suggests yes, Greece wants to belong, but right now
the balance could be seen to tip towards going it alone outside Euroland.
The UN's nuclear watchdog said Iran is doing research that can only be aimed at
developing the capacity to make nuclear weapons. The Iran (1979 revolution)
chart has transiting Uranus conjunct the natal Moon in the summer of 2012
and Pluto square natal Moon from February 2012 onwards. Crisis approaches.
Aung San Suu Kyi's NLD party agreed to re-enter
Burma's political process and contest parliamentary elections. Pluto is trine her natal Mars
right now giving her energy and enduring ambition. However Uranus squares her Mercury
in the new year which is very unsettling. It looks a difficult and bumpy road to me.
Yesterday Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh signed a Gulf Arab-brokered deal,
which will see him stand down after months of unrest. The 1990 Yemeni chart has
Pluto conjunct natal Uranus during 2012 and 2013.
It all adds up to major change in Yemen.
UK and Iran.
Iran's parliament has voted by a large majority to downgrade diplomatic relations
with the UK. The Iran (1979) chart undergoes Uranus conjunct natal Sun and Neptune conjunct
Venus starting in 2013. In 2012 the most notable transit is Jupiter conjunct Moon in the second
half of the year. Iran's 'arab spring' revolution looks set for 2013 then.
The Iran/UK relationship chart is full of planets in air signs, and its not even hot air, just a
slightly dry desert wind. There is a whopper of a progressed New Moon in Oct 2012 in Gemini,
in the relationship chart which will put the relationship on an entirely new footing.
Putin has undergone transiting Saturn conjunct his natal Sun in 2011, and now he has Saturn
conjunct his natal Mercury which extends well into the summer of 2012. Both transits evoke
unpopularity and misfortune. The Solar eclipse in Nov 2011was opposite his natal Moon which
again inhibits his popularity with the masses.
Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov says he will challenge Prime Minister Vladimir Putin in next
March's presidential election. Born May 3rd 1965, Prokhorov at birth has Mars Uranus and Pluto
in Virgo opposite Saturn. He is one of the richest men in Russia, with a rumor of scandal as natal
Venus in Taurus is opposite Neptune. Jupiter is conjunct his natal Taurus Sun at the end of March 2012,
which certainly will bring him fame, but I suppose not enough to secure power. Putin at that time has
Jupiter opposite natal Venus, but his progressed Moon in Leo is trine his progressed Mercury.
More politically astute astrologers than me, (eg Marjorie Orr) forecast that Putin will cling on. The man
pictured above however is the new kid on the block, and will gain some notoriety in the spring of 2012.
The Russian presidential election is set for Sunday March 4th 2012. On that day a cardinal
planetary T-square is manifest in the sky. The Moon in Cancer, (symbolizing 'the people
seeking security'), Venus in Aries and Saturn in Libra (applying to Putin's ascendant),
are involved. Neptune is opposite Putin's Sun/Uranus midpoint, on that day. A strong
and peculiar glam will be at work. A Putin victory after all this opposition? Interesting.
When will the UK Coalition government break up? The Cameron government chart has Uranus
square Pluto during early 2012, Mars hovers over the coalition MC from end of March through to the beginning of May 2012.
Jupiter is conjunct coalition Sun May 4th 2012 Saturn opposes coalition Moon on May 20th 2012 and
the chart has a progressed New Moon in August. It is just conceivable that the coalition will survive
this formidable array of planetary influences.
The UK chart has very powerful influences in store in 2012 and 2013. Jupiter is conjunct UK Mars March 23rd
2012. Pluto hits the IC of the national chart for the first time in March 2012. Uranus also hits the descendant.
Pluto conjuncts natal Sun in 2013. The whole direction, purpose and relationship structure of the UK is going
to undergo a revolution during the next two years. Hold tight Brits.
North Koreans are in mourning after the death of their leader, Kim Jong-il.
The North Korea chart (Sept. 12th 1948) has had Neptune
opposite natal Saturn in 2011, and this repeats in Jan 2012. This has and will
invoke a harsh confusing array of energies. The Total Lunar Eclipse on Dec 10th
2011 was opposite natal Mercury. The big transit in the future is Pluto conjunct
the N.Korean natal Moon from 2013.
It has been known for some time that there is a worrying connection between
Barack Obama's chart and Korea. The world watches the situation with concern.
Wishing all Daze readers a very Happy New Year.

Yesterday Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan declared a state of emergency in areas targeted
by Islamist militants, who killed dozens on Christmas Day. The Nigerian chart will be hit hard
by the Uranus Pluto square in 2012 and 2013. Pluto squares, and Uranus opposes the natal Sun.
Simultaneously Saturn is conjunct natal Mercury in Jan, March and September 2012 and then
Saturn is conjunct natal Venus in Nov 2012. Expect this country to make headlines in the coming
weeks and months.
Nasa's Grail satellites prepared to go into orbit around the Moon to map its gravity in unprecedented
detail, revealing its internal structure. The chart for NASA (Noon July 29th 1958 Washington DC)
works quite well in practice: Man landed on the Moon in July 1969 as Pluto was in trine aspect to
NASA's natal Moon. Challenger exploded on January 28, 1986 (11:38 am; Cape Canaveral )
as Uranus was conjunct NASA's Saturn Similarly, Columbia exploded on February 1, 2003
(8:00 am over Dallas, TX) as Pluto was conjunct NASA's Saturn. In 2012 Pluto opposes NASA's
Venus, suggesting financial implications, and Neptune opposes NASA's Mercury suggesting some
difficult decision making. There is success in Feb 2012 when Jupiter is conjunct NASA's Mars, but the real
big one in the future is in 2019-2020 when Jupiter Saturn and Pluto all in Capricorn are conjunct the NASA
natal Moon. Some really important project will be underway by then.

There are 79 days to the Vernal Equinox.
We are out of eclipse season which has featured the Partial Solar Eclipse in
Sagittarius on Nov 25th and the Total Lunar Eclipse in Gemini on Dec 10th.
Mercury is a direct morning 'star' in in Sagittarius, and after recent retrograde motion
is back up to speed and in new territory. He sextiles both Saturn and Neptune on Jan 7th.
Mercury enters Capricorn on Jan 8th 2012.
Venus is an evening star in Aquarius. She is trine to Saturn and conjunct Neptune in
climatic fulfillment on Jan 13th. She floats into Pisces on Jan 14th.
Shining brilliantly in the evening sky in early May 2012, Venus turns retrograde on May 15th 2012
at 24 Gemini, and is at Inferior Conjunction, passing over the disc of the Sun, on June 6th 2012.
Mars is now in Virgo and remains there right up to July 3rd 2012.
Mars turns retrograde Jan 24th 2012, in Virgo, and is in opposition to the Sun on
March 14th 2012 also in Virgo.
Jupiter in Taurus will make his final trine aspect to Pluto in Capricorn in mid March 2012.
We then have to navigate a total of 7 instances of Uranus square Pluto, the first being on
June 24th 2012 (as Jupiter squares Neptune) and the last in March 2015.

on the final day of naval exercises near the Strait of Hormuz. Saturn is hovering over the Sun in
the USA/Iran revolution relationship chart
Tens of thousands of South Sudanese have fled their homes as some 6,000 fighters hunt down
members of a rival ethnic group following deadly cattle raids. The tightest aspect in the 1957 Sudan
chart is a harsh repressive Saturn square Pluto. Yesterday Saturn was exactly sextile Sudan's Pluto,
obviously setting off the natal resonance.
Both of Nasa's Grail satellites have succeeded in getting into orbit around the Moon where they will
map gravity variations to reveal the lunar body's internal structure in unprecedented detail.

There is a potent Full Moon just around the corner. Its climax is next Monday morning (GMT).
The Strait of Hormuz is 'starred'. A medium-range surface-to-air missile was successfully launched
on Sunday as Iran conducted 10 days of exercises near the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20%
of the world's seaborne oil passes. Tehran said on Monday that "mock" exercises on shutting the strait
had been carried out, although there was no intention of closing it.
Today Israel's progressed Mars ingresses Libra, indicating a major long term shift in the country's expression
of energy. Pluto is about to sextile Mars in the Israel/revolutionary Iran relationship chart, and the Full Moon
on Monday is conjunct the Lunar node in this relationship chart. Something is brewing maybe. Yesterday
France urged EU countries to follow the US in freezing Iranian central bank assets and imposing an embargo on oil exports.
Voters in the rural state of Iowa were preparing for the first test of the US election season as they choose a Republican
candidate to take on Barack Obama for the White House in November. The contest launches a series of state-by-state
caucus and primary ballots. Mitt Romney, Ron Paul and Rick Santorum lead a field of six contenders in a race that remains
too close to call.

Mitt Romney born March 12th 1947 9-51 Detroit.
Backed by Wall Street. Well funded, well organised.
Sun, Mercury, Mars in Pisces. Moon in Scorpio. No Earth. Lots of fixed and mutable water.
Jupiter sextile Pluto in August 2012, Jupiter square Mercury November 2012.
He probably will win the Republican nomination contest in August, but unrealistic expectation abounds.
Rick Santorum born May 10th 1958. No birth time.
Backed by the Evangelicals.
Sun Taurus, Moon Aquarius. Mercury in Aries opposite Jupiter, trine Saturn. An excess of fixed fire.(Brimstone)
Jupiter conjunct his Sun in late April. Saturn very active on his chart in August. Uranus conjunct
his Venus all year and into 2013.
The Total Solar Eclipse on Nov 13th 2012, just 7 days after the USA Presidential Elections, falls just 8
degrees from Obama's Mid heaven. A grand trine in Fire signs, on election day, nicely resonates with Obama's
natal Mercury. The Moon is in Leo that day, Obama's Sun sign. My bet is on a second term.

Yesterday as the gibbous Moon accelerated in Gemini and Mercury moved into position to form
a very dynamic planetary arrangement with Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune, renewed violence across
Syria left dozens dead, including up to 26 in what officials said was a suicide attack in the capital
Damascus.
Also China's state media warn the US against "flexing its muscles" after it unveiled a defence review
switching focus to the Asia-Pacific region.
Today is a very dynamic day. The accelerating gibbous Moon opposes Mercury and forms
a planetary kite with Saturn and Neptune. In addition 5 points of a
hexagon are formed, with Saturn, the missing point is in late Leo.

This is the first full Moon following the Total Lunar Eclipse on Dec 10th 2011, and
the 5th before the Partial Lunar eclipse on June 4th 2012.
This Full Moon is a potent lunation. Its influence is to touch on national and tribal
identity. Issues of territory and possession may arise. The Full Moon makes a hard
135 degree aspect with the Saturn/Pluto midpoint which has a tragic hue.
This Full Moon directly hits Saturn in the Syrian chart, the ascendant in the Iran (republic ) chart
the lunar node in Queen Elizabeth 2nd's chart, the Moon in the UK chart, Saturn in Russell Brand's
chart, the Mars Saturn conjunction in David Gilmour's chart and the MC in NASA's chart.

Venus is an evening star in Aquarius. She is trine to Saturn and conjunct Neptune
on Jan 13th. She floats into Pisces on Jan 14th.
Shining brilliantly in the evening sky in early May 2012, Venus turns retrograde on May 15th 2012
at 24 Gemini, and is at Inferior Conjunction, passing over the disc of the Sun, on June 6th 2012.
Mars is now in Virgo and remains there right up to July 3rd 2012.
Mars turns retrograde Jan 24th 2012, in Virgo, and is in opposition to the Sun on
March 14th 2012 also in Virgo.
Jupiter in Taurus will make his final trine aspect to Pluto in Capricorn in mid March 2012.
We then have to navigate a total of 7 instances of Uranus square Pluto, the first being on

The US has condemned the killing of an Iranian nuclear scientist in a car bomb
attack in north Tehran. National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor said
the US "had absolutely nothing to do" with the attack. Mostafa Ahmadi-Roshan,
who worked at the Natanz uranium enrichment facility, died along with the
driver of the car. Several Iranian nuclear scientists have been assassinated
in recent years, with Iran blaming Israel and the US. Both deny any involvement.
The Venus Neptune conjunction right now hits the lunar nodal axis in the Iran/US
relationship chart. It also opposes Uranus in the said chart. Intrigue, deception
and murder focused on Uranium enrichment are quite fitting outcomes.
In the UK the main news right now is that of Scottish Independence.

Yesterday the US announced that it will exchange ambassadors with Burma,
after a landmark Burmese political prisoner amnesty. The progressed Sun
in the Burmese chart is exactly sextile the progressed lunar node today. The
chart has a progressed New Moon in Pisces in 2014.
France confirmed it has lost a top AAA credit rating after stock markets fell
on reports many eurozone governments are being downgraded. Transiting Jupiter is
conjunct Saturn in the French (1st republic) chart, right now. Also the current Venus
Neptune conjunction is exactly 150 degrees from the France natal Sun.

Venus sextiles Jupiter on Jan 15th, and sextiles Pluto on Jan 20th. She squares the lunar node axis
on Jan 23rd and opposes a retrograde Mars in Virgo on Feb 2nd. She enters Aries Feb 8th. Her
residence in the sign of the fish starts well, but the subliminal universality of Pisces, which Venus
enjoys bathing in, is crossed and marred, by a weak pernickety, uptight and reluctant Mars in the
opposite sign Virgo. Look for disharmony between male and female energy.

State of the skies:- Today the Sun is at 25 degrees Capricorn. The Sun enters Aquarius on Friday.
There are 65 days to the Vernal Equinox.
Mercury is a direct morning 'star' in Capricorn. Mercury trines Mars
on Jan 23rd and squares Saturn on Jan 27th. He speeds into Aquarius on Jan 27th.
Mercury is in Superior Conjunction with the Sun on Feb 7th, the day of the next Full Moon.
Venus is an evening star in Pisces. Venus sextiles Pluto on Jan 20th and squares the lunar node axis
on Jan 23rd. She opposes a retrograde Mars in Virgo on Feb 2nd. She enters Aries Feb 8th.
Shining brilliantly in the evening sky in early May 2012, Venus turns retrograde on May 15th 2012
at 24 Gemini, and is at Inferior Conjunction, passing over the disc of the Sun, on June 6th 2012.
Mars is now in Virgo and remains there right up to July 3rd 2012.
Mars turns retrograde Jan 24th 2012, in Virgo, and is in opposition to the Sun on
March 14th 2012 also in Virgo.
Jupiter in Taurus will make his final trine aspect to Pluto in Capricorn in mid March 2012.
We then have to navigate a total of 7 instances of Uranus square Pluto, the first being on
June 24th 2012 (as Jupiter squares Neptune) and the last in March 2015.

That overturned boat was still dominating world headlines yesterday. The event was more
symbolic than it was grievous, and it has captured the public's consciousness. I have already
mentioned that the Italian 1946 chart was under pressure, both fromtransiting Uranus, which is
currently square the Italian natal Mercury, and the Venus Neptune conjunction on the day,
highly suggestiveof ' luxury' and 'sea liner', being on the IC of the Italian chart. There had been
very dynamic astrological aspects building up all last week.
The astrological chart set for 20 30 GMT at Giglio Porto on Friday 13th 2012, the time the
ship hit the rock, is striking. Saturn was exactly square the Ascendant/Midheaven midpoint,
and the South Lunar Node was almost exactly conjunct the Midheaven.
The ascendant was on the midpoint between Uranus and the Venus Neptune conjunction.
Chiron was almost due west. The other conjunction that day, Mercury and Pluto in Capricorn,
was exactly 45 degrees from the Sun/Mars midpoint globally, and locally was conjunct the
Ascendant/Jupiter midpoint, which with Sun/Jupiter conjunct MC maybe conferred a degree
of luck on the event, in that not too many people lost their lives. During the following 40 minutes
before the boat overturned the Moon and Mars applying in conjunction in Virgo rose over Italy.

Yesterday the echoes of last week's Italian boat misadventure continued to ripple on.
Italian rescuers found five more bodies in the wreck of the cruise ship Concordia,
as a phone call allegedly incriminating the captain was released.
We are now coming to the last few days of the astrological month of Capricorn. The Sun
is drawing in a square to Saturn in late Libra as the 'month' ends. We have weighty
considerations to entertain in these next three days. There is nothing 'light' right now.

Yesterday the US House of Representatives and Senate postponed two anti-online piracy bills,
Pipa and Sopa, days after widespread web protests. Researching a possible Internet birth chart
I found this on Astrology weekly.
On July 3, 1969, it was announced that the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) will become the
first station in a nationwide computer network which, for the first time, will link together computers of
different makes and using different machine languages into one time-sharing system.
Professor Leonard Kleinrock was heading this project therefore he is considered the father of the Internet
The first Node connected to the network was UCLA's on September 2, 1969. This is when the first two
computers were connected over what was to become the Internet.
From a personal communication with Professor Leonard Kleinrock, I learned that it was mid-morning
Pacific Time; he estimated it to about 10:00 am. This is the moment that marks the physical birth of the Internet.

We now have 'an Internet chart'. It is a fairly earthy chart with Sun Virgo in the 11th house of the global society,
trine a here to stay Saturn in Taurus.
The Moon also in Taurus opposite a difficult to pin down and regulate Neptune in Scorpio. Mercury conjunct
Jupiter in Libra, in a very file sharing sort of situation, and Libra rising. Mars is in freedom fighting Sagittarius.
This chart was 9 days before a Solar Eclipse, in Virgo. Currently transiting Saturn is on natal Uranus/Neptune,
trying to regulate the universal availability, but transiting Neptune is on Mars/Saturn undermining the attempt.
With transiting Jupiter conjunct Internet Saturn and Moon this spring, and Saturn hovering over the Internet's
ascendant we can expect the fight to go on.
Right now the Aquarius Sun is caught in a planetary T-square with Jupiter and Saturn,
but he sextiles Uranus. Part and parcel of the same conflict I guess. Technology eases
the discomfort a little, and wins out.
We are now in the astrological month of Aquarius. In the north is the dawning realization that the stirring
of a new spring is but a few weeks away. In the south the full glory of the crown of summer is embraced.

Yesterday a series of bombings by Nigerian Islamist militants Boko Haram killed about 150 people
in the city of Kano, the group's deadliest attack to date. The Nigerian chart has dire transits this year.
Transiting Saturn conjunct natal Mercury, January, March and September. Transiting Pluto square
natal Sun starting right now. Uranus square natal Mars, starting in March. Uranus opposing natal
Sun starting in May. The young progressed Moon in the chart entered Capricorn six days ago, when it seems
the proverbial hit the fan. This Moon moves on to conjunct progressed Jupiter, Venus and Saturn over the next
12 months, stirring up all sorts of heavy duty trouble.
The final results in Egypt's first post-Mubarak parliamentary elections confirmed an overwhelming victory for Islamist parties.

This is the 2nd New Moon following the partial solar eclipse on November 25th 2011
and the 4th New Moon before the annular solar eclipse in Gemini on May 20th 2012.
At this time, Mercury trines Jupiter, Neptune sextiles Jupiter, and trines Saturn.The New Moon
itself falls on the Neptune/Pluto midpoint. There is a predominance of planets in Earth and Air
signs. The New Moon is square Jupiter and sextile Uranus. All of this means we have on our hands
an essentially favorable if not a little over-indulgent lunation which is good for objective, and
empirical assessment and future oriented thinking and activity. It favors 'people power', revolution,
and democracy, and it holds a deeply mystical secret as symbolised by the Neptune/Pluto midpoint.
At the moment of New Moon, 07-41 GMT today, the Moon rises over the UK, and Mercury rises
at London. We are at a significant moment in our history in the UK this year, with Pluto reaching the IC,
Uranus conjunct the descendant, and Neptune conjunct the Pluto, all in the UK 1801 astrological chart.
Today's New Moon rise over the UK may herald the start of important matters here. The Sun rises over
France and Spain, Neptune rises over Italy, Jupiter and Saturn straddle the horizon at the gulf of Hormuz,
where Mercury culminates, a potential flash point which has been starred for the second time in two weeks.
The sun and Moon culminate at Karachi and set over Japan and New Zealand.

Yesterday EU foreign ministers formally agreed to an oil embargo against Iran, as Western
powers reinforced their naval presence in the region.
Today MARS TURNS RETROGRADE at 23 Virgo 00 51 GMT. Mars is retrograde for 82 days
and is at opposition to the Sun on March 3rd at 14 Virgo. He turns direct on April 14th at 4 Virgo.
He enters new territory on June 20th. Mars is, astrologically speaking, at his least powerful when he is closest
to us, and he is not totally at home in Virgo. So we are today entering a period when the 'collective animus'
is weakened. It is easy to imagine compensatory tantrums, masquerades, and ruses being much in evidence in
the forthcoming weeks. It is however a period for detailed well prepared and thought out activities.

Our planet is being bombarded by high-energy particles unleashed by the strongest solar storm since 2005, scientists say.
The charged particles are mostly a concern for satellites - which they can disrupt - and astronauts.
But they can also cause communication problems for aircraft traveling near the poles.
The geomagnetic storm has been caused by a potent flare that erupted from the Sun at 0400 GMT on Monday.
The International Monetary Fund says the world's economy is "deeply into the danger zone", with the

A very slippery day.
Today is dominated by a conjunction of the Moon and Venus at 14 Pisces.
Potentially this is the sweetest of combinations, perfect for fairytales. However the day's news will
probably have an element of dubious financial wrangling and maneuvers, the
other side of this slippery symbolism.
14 Pisces happens to be the zodiac position of the natal Mercury of Mitt Romney, he also has a
Pisces Sun, and is the very rich US presidential hopeful. (The candidates are now campaigning in Florida,
which holds its primary on 31 January). In the UK Harry Redknapp, March 2nd 1947, tipped as
a possible next English national football team manager, is in court on tax evasion. His natal Sun is 11 Pisces.

ASTEROID FLYBY: Newly-discovered asteroid 2012 BX34 will fly past Earth on Jan. 27th only 77,000 km
(0.2 lunar distances) away. There is no danger of a collision with the 14-meter wide space rock. Advanced amateur
astronomers might be able to observe the flyby as the asteroid brightens to 14th magnitude just before closest approach
today at 1530 UT.
Today a planetary cardinal/fixed T-square forms for 3 days involving
Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn. This pattern will correspond with challenge and
conflict of interest. The Sun formed such an arrangement one week ago. Once again

Russia has said it will block a draft UN Security Council resolution calling for a transfer of power in Syria because
it "leaves open the possibility of intervention" in Syria's affairs. The US, the UK and France are lobbying on behalf
of the Arab League's draft text, which calls for President Bashar al-Assad to hand power to a deputy. The White
House said Mr Assad had lost control of Syria, adding "he will go". But Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister said the
text was "not balanced". Meanwhile, fighting in Syria continued as government troops bombarded the central city
of Homs. Transiting Pluto is quincunx (150 degrees) Bashar's natal lunar node next week ,and transiting Neptune
squares Syria's natal Uranus mid February. It's a very messy mixture.
A 'slow to move' day is in store.

At least 73 people were killed and about 156 injured in clashes between football fans in the Egyptian city of Port Said.
Transiting Uranus is exactly conjunct the Egyptian natal Venus today. The Venus Mars opposition in the sky right now
aligns to the Egyptian natal Sun. Egypt progressed Moon at the end of Capricorn is quincunx progressed Mercury.
Also yesterday Pakistan's foreign minister said her country has no hidden agenda in Afghanistan, as a leaked
Nato report accused Islamabad of links to the Taliban. There are mixed fortunes at work in the Pakistan

confused power plays, and armed forces with an agenda, transiting Saturn continues to square natal Moon
symbolising a repressed populace, but Uranus trines natal Mercury bringing some development.
Republican presidential front-runner Mitt Romney's campaign marches on to Minnesota and Nevada,

State of the skies:- Today the Sun reaches 17 degrees Aquarius.
There are 43 days to the Vernal Equinox.
Mercury is a fast moving direct morning 'star' in Aquarius.
Mercury is in Superior Conjunction with the Sun at 18 Aquarius tomorrow . As an evening 'star'
he then forms a reflective trine with Saturn on Feb 13th. Mercury enters Pisces on Feb 14th
Venus is an evening star in Pisces. She enters Aries on Wednesday and closely aligns to Uranus on Friday.
Shining brilliantly in the evening sky now, and increasing to maximum brightness in early May 2012,
Venus turns retrograde on May 15th 2012 at 24 Gemini, and is at Inferior Conjunction, passing over the
disc of the Sun, on June 6th 2012.
Mars is now retrograding Virgo and remains there right up to July 3rd 2012. He reaches opposition to the Sun
on March 3rd 2012 at 14 Virgo. He turns direct on April 14th at 4 Virgo. He enters new territory on June 20th.
Jupiter in Taurus will make his final trine aspect to Pluto in Capricorn in mid March 2012.
We then have to navigate a total of 7 instances of Uranus square Pluto, the first being on
June 24th 2012 (as Jupiter squares Neptune) and the last in March 2015.
The Full Moon tomorrow and the close alignment of Venus and Uranus on Friday dominate
the week ahead.

This is the second Full Moon following the Total Lunar Eclipse on Dec 10th 2011, and
the 4th before the Partial Lunar eclipse on June 4th 2012.
Mercury, The Sun, the Earth and the Full Moon are aligned between tropical Leo and Aquarius.
Venus applies in conjunction to Uranus, Jupiter sextiles Neptune, Venus is quincunx Saturn,the Moon
is opposite the Venus/Pluto midpoint.
This Full Moon directly and closely hits the natal Neptune of Robert Mugabe, the natal Mars Saturn
of Al Gore, the natal Pluto of Phill Collins and George Brown, and the Lunar Node of Jim Carey.
At the moment of Full Moon, the Moon rises at Georgetown Guyana sets at Perth (Aus), and culminates
at Nicosia. Mars culminates Karachi, Pluto lower culmination Rabat, Jupiter sets Athens, Mercury rises
at Boston (Mass. USA). Saturn rises at Belgrade. The Sun, Moon, Mercury combo aligns to Turkey,
Russia, and Western Australia.

Yesterday, as the full moon climaxed, Gulf Arab states expelled Syria's ambassadors, accusing
Damascus of shunning Arab efforts to end months of bloodshed, as Russian officials visited President Assad.
Assad has transiting Pluto quincunx his natal lunar node right now, the Full Moon yesterday was square his
natal Neptune, and retro Mars is conjunct his natal Virgo Sun, for a second time on Feb 18th. Something
has to give here.
New Maldives President Mohammed Waheed Hassan vowed to uphold the rule of law following the dramatic
resignation of his predecessor Mohamed Nasheed. Transiting Uranus squared Maldives natal Moon, and
transiting Jupiter squared natal Sun on Feb 4th, Progressed Moon opposes progressed Pluto today. Transiting
Neptune opposes natal Venus on Feb 25th. If the Maldives chart was that of a person, a nervous breakdown
would be forecasted right now!
Iran's parliament has summoned the president for questioning for the first time since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad faces a long list of questions about the state of the economy, as well as his foreign and
domestic policy decisions. Yesterday's Full Moon trined Iran's natal Pluto. A change for the better is at work in the country. As
for Ahmadinejad, the cosmic machinery is working with precise timing. His tight natal Pluto square lunar node was opposed
by transiting Neptune yesterday. Jupiter opposes his Sun on Feb 17th. Saturn is conjunct his natal Mercury for the 2nd
and 3rd times, in May and in August. Saturn is conjunct his natal Sun in November. A very testing year for him is likely.
Today Venus enters Aries 06 02
Venus as an evening star in Aries resides there for 27 days. She makes a near alignment
with Uranus on Friday, squares Pluto on Feb. 15th, trines the lunar node on Feb 17th
and opposes Saturn on March 3rd. Venus moves into Taurus on March 5th.
Venus in Aries symbolises ardor, passion, and sudden love impulse. Mars is very weak

This New Moon falls midway in time between the partial solar eclipse on November 25th 2011
and the annular solar eclipse in Gemini on May 20th 2012.
This New Moon is significant because it is conjunct Neptune, newly arrived in Pisces, and Chiron.
The New Moon is also sextile Jupiter. This renders a deeply spiritual and inspirational quality to the
time. However there are other, more material influences at work. Mercury applies in opposition
to retrograde Mars. Mars is himself in dangerous aspect (150 degree) to Venus and (165 degree)
to Uranus. This arrangement suggests violent disharmonious and unexpected events, both globally
and personally. An emphasis on water signs and a lack of fixed signs in the planetary situation ensures
a time of emotional fluidity and change. Poised midway between eclipses we are at a karmic point of
balance.
At the moment of New Moon today, the fishy Sun Moon Neptune combination rises over Borneo,
eastern China and Indonesia. The Moon rises at Beijing and at Hong Kong. The three bodies are
at lower culmination at Greece, scene of turmoil right now, and are setting at Venezuela and at
Haiti, Argentina and Bolivia. The Moon sets over the Falklands. Neptune sets at Washington DC.
At London Saturn rises and the New Moon is conjunct the UK Pluto. Something very big is set for the UK I feel.
Today is the birthday of Robert Mugawe, Nina Simone, Charlotte Church. Rhianna, and Gordon Brown
celebrated theirs yesterday. All these people are entering new chapters in their lives.
The New Moon also hits the natal Venus of Shirley Bassey and the Mars of Tracy Bingham and Bjon Borg,
and the natal Saturn of the UK Labour Party, and Sophie, Countess of Wessex. The New Moon also
hits the natal Moon of the chart for the transfer of power recently in North Korea.
This is a New Moon to be mindful of.
The day ends with a deep sleep of dreams.

Yesterday's New Moon brought tragedy in the form of a commuter train crash at a station in the
Argentine capital, Buenos Aires, killing 49 people and leaving at least 600 injured. At the moment
of New moon the Sun, Moon and Neptune were setting over Argentina, square the Argentina natal
Sun and probably conjunct the natal Moon. Retro Mars is currently opposite Argentina's natal Pluto.

What might have been the biggest physics story of the past century may
instead be down to a faulty connection. In September 2011, the Opera
experiment reported it had seen particles called neutrinos evidently
traveling faster than the speed of light. The team has now found two
problems that may have affected their test in opposing ways: one in
its timing gear and one in an optical fibre connection. Yesterday's Venus
quincunx Mars, semi-sextile Mercury seems to have coincided with
the fault finding.
It was a low news day yesterday. We are in a rather quiet period
now astrologically speaking. Moreover, Mars is approaching his 'challenging' opposition
to the Sun, Venus is applying in 'severe' opposition to Saturn, and Mercury is
applying in 'sudden surprise' conjunction to Uranus. These three aspects occur on March 3rd,
4th and 5th respectively. The next Full Moon peaks on the morning of Thursday March 8th.

The slowly waxing crescent Moon pairs spectacularly with Venus in the evening sky!
Venus and Jupiter are converging, and the Moon swings around the sky to meet them
today. They will form a triangle in the sky less than 15 degrees wide. Venus and Jupiter
will converge even more until, on March 12th, the two bright planets will form a
double-beacon in the sunset sky only 3degrees apart. Astrologicaly, the conjunction of
Venus and Jupiter in Taurus, represents, sheer opulance, so much for March 2012.
Today's conjunction of Venus and the Moon and Venus in Aries evokes very much
a 'me-centred' impatience. Events of a sudden and volatile nature, will I guess,
burst out on Saturday.

will hit Earth's magnetic field on Feb. 26th at 13:30 UT (+/- 7 hr). The impact could
spark a G2-class geomagnetic storm.http://www.spaceweather.com/
Yesterday Nato withdrew all its staff from Afghan ministries after two senior US officers
were shot dead in the interior ministry in Kabul. Sharp assertive action in keeping with
Venus, Uranus and the Moon in Aries, the Sun, Mercury and Neptune in Pisces,
and a 'close to Earth encounter' with retro Mars.

and first few days of March offer a rare chance for people at mid-northern latitudes to
see at least a half dozen of the night sky's brightest objects simultaneously, 30 to 60

Yesterday the Syrian government held a referendum on a new constitution, as violence
continued around the country killing at least 30 people. Towards the end of March
president Bashar al-Assad has transiting retrograde Saturn conjunct his natal Venus.
On April 4th Uranus is quincunx his natal Mercury and on April 6th Jupiter opposes his natal Mars.
This is a possible period for his downfall, but his is a tough chart, and not much shows up at that
time in the Syrian map.
France and Germany are following the US and Britain in withdrawing civilian staff from Afghan
government institutions in the wake of the killing of two senior US Nato officers.

State of the skies:- Today the Sun reaches 8 degrees Pisces. There are 22 days to the Vernal Equinox.
The Sun Neptune and Mercury are in Pisces, Venus and Uranus are in Aries.
Mercury is an evening star in Pisces. He enters Aires on March 2nd. Mercury slows to less than
a degree per day on March 5th, turns retrograde at 7 Aries on March 12th, and is inferior
conjunction with the Sun on March 21st. He re-enters Pisces on March 23rd and turns direct
again on April 4th at 24 Pisces. He finally leaves the sign of Pisces on April 16th.
Venus is an evening star in Aries . Venus opposes Saturn on March 3rd. Venus moves into
Taurus on March 5th. Shining brilliantly in the evening sky now, and increasing to maximum
brightness in early May 2012, Venus turns retrograde on May 15th 2012 at 24 Gemini, and
is at Inferior Conjunction, passing over the disc of the Sun, on June 6th 2012.
Mars is now retrograding Virgo and remains there right up to July 3rd 2012. He reaches opposition to the Sun
on March 3rd 2012 at 14 Virgo. He turns direct on April 14th at 4 Virgo. He enters new territory on June 20th.
Jupiter in Taurus will make his final trine aspect to Pluto in Capricorn in mid March 2012.
We then have to navigate a total of 7 instances of Uranus square Pluto, the first being on
June 24th 2012 (as Jupiter squares Neptune) and the last in March 2015.
In the western sky, bright Jupiter and brighter Venus are 14° apart and closing.
Watch the gap between them narrow by 1° per day as they approach their March 13th conjunction.
So then Mars is approaching his 'challenging' opposition to the Sun, Venus is applying in 'severe'
opposition to Saturn, and Mercury is applying in 'sudden surprise' conjunction to Uranus.
These three aspects occur on March 3rd, 4th and 5th respectively.
The next Full Moon peaks on the morning of Thursday March 8th.

Yesterday North Korea agreed to suspend uranium enrichment, as well as nuclear and
long-range missile tests, in return for food aid from the US. The next Full Moon makes
a 'promising' hit on the the natal Sun of North Korea, which is also the degree of the
natal Mars of the recent North Korea power transfer.
Syrian troops launched a ground assault on opposition strongholds in the city of Homs,
as the UN humanitarian chief was denied entry to Syria. This same Full Moon next Thursday
hits the natal Sun and Neptune of President Assad.
A US experiment has confirmed previous findings that hinted at new phenomena outside our
understanding of physics. The results show that certain matter particles decay differently
from their antimatter counterparts. Such differences could potentially help explain why
there is so much more matter in the cosmos than antimatter. The findings from scientists
working on the CDF experiment have been presented at a particle physics meeting in La Thuile, Italy.
Mars is approaching opposition. On March 3-5, the Red Planet will be up all night long,

Mercury is an evening star in Aires, approaching his station. On March 5th Mercury is
conjunct Uranus at 3 Aries, and he slows to less than a degree per day. He turns
retrograde at 7 Aries on March 12th, conjuncts Uranus a 2nd time at 4 Aries March 18th,
and is at Inferior Conjunction with the Sun on March 21st. He re-enters Pisces on
March 23rd, for 24 days. He sextiles Venus on March 29th, and turns direct again on
April 4th at 24 Pisces. He re-enters Aries on April 16th, he is back up to speed on
April 19th, and he is conjunct Uranus at 6 Aries for a third and final time on April 22nd.
Mercury enters 'new territory' on April 23rd, squares Pluto on April 25th, sextiles
Venus again on May 4th and opposes Saturn on May 6th. Mercury enters Taurus on May 9th.
The triple conjunction of Mercury and Uranus over this period is significant and will enforce
quite a few jolts, shocks and changes.

Terrible Syrian situation. Even the Russians have capitulated.
The Red Cross says it has been refused permission to deliver aid to the Baba Amr
district of the bombed-out Syrian city of Homs, despite earlier getting the go-ahead
from the authorities. ICRC President Jakob Kellenberger said the hold-up was "unacceptable".
The delay has given rise to opposition allegations that government forces were trying to get
rid of evidence of summary killings. Even the Russians have capitulated. There is a progressed
New Moon conjunct Uranus in Aquarius taking place in the Russian (1917) chart, this season.
According to some estimates, 10% of Russia's global arms sales go to Syria, with current
contracts estimated to be worth $1.5bn (£950m). Besides ammunition, recent sales have
included military training aircraft, air defence systems and anti-tank weapons.
The current Syrian government also provides something else Moscow craves - the prestige
of a navy base at the port of Tartus which is Russia's last base beyond the borders of the former Soviet Union.
The coming Full Moon directly hits the natal Sun Neptune conjunction of Bashar Al Assad .

planetary T-square is manifest in the sky. The Moon in Cancer, (symbolizing 'the people
seeking security'), Venus in Aries and Saturn in Libra (applying to Putin's ascendant),
are involved. Neptune is opposite Putin's Sun/Uranus midpoint, on this day. A strong
and peculiar glam will be at work. A Putin victory after all the popular opposition
recently, is expected I understand. Interesting. Elections to follow this year in France,

A strong solar storm is expected to hit Earth shortly, and experts warn it could disrupt
power grids, satellite navigations systems and plane routes.
The storm - the largest in five years - will unleash a torrent of charged particles
between 06:00 GMT and 10:00 GMT, US weather specialists say.
They say it was triggered by a pair of massive solar flares earlier this week.
It means there is a good chance of seeing the northern lights at higher latitudes,
if the skies are clear.
Mars Jupiter and Pluto are currently in earthy grand trine

becoming void.
This Full Moon is mid way between the Total Lunar Eclipse on Dec 10th 2011, and
the Partial Lunar eclipse on June 4th 2012. This Full Moon in Virgo separates from
retrograde Mars and is in tight 135 degree aspect to Venus. Mars Jupiter and Pluto
are in a tightening productive discriminating earthy grand trine.
This lunation directly hits the natal Sun Neptune conjunction of Bashar Al Assad, and
the natal Sun of North Korea. It hits the natal Mars of the North Korea power transfer,
and the natal Jupiter of Aung San Suu Kyi, the natal Saturn of Prince Philip of the UK,
and the natal lunar node of Iran. Today is the birthday of musician Gary Numann and
of actor James Van Der Beek.
At the moment of Full Moon today Mercury and Uranus culminates at Tehran. It is high
noon at Moscow. There is a mutable cross at London.
After the full moon moment has passed, the Moon is void of course for the remainder of the (GMT)

A coronal mass ejection (CME) hit Earth's magnetic field on March 8th around 1100 UT.
The impact was weaker than expected, sparking only a mild (Kp=5) geomagnetic storm.
However, the storm could intensify in the hours ahead depending on electromagnetic
conditions in the wake of the CME. High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras.
The Full Moon passed with swiftness, rumor and an accompanying coronal mass ejection. The rumor
was an intoxicating mixture of Israeli threats against Iran, hints of the close downfall of a Syrian dictator,
a luke warm victory of a guy called Mitt, and pointless deaths in Afghanistan.
Mars Jupiter and Pluto are currently in earthy grand trine, conferring a measure of

The largest solar storm in five years has passed Earth without incident,
but the Sun's activity could flare up again. Sunspot AR1429 has unleashed
another strong solar flare, an M6-class eruption on March 9th at 0358 UT.
The blast hurled a coronal mass ejection directly toward Earth .According to
analysts at the Goddard Space Weather Lab, the cloud will arrive on
March 11th at 0649 UT (+/- 7 hr) adding to the geomagnetic unrest already underway.
Mars, Venus, Jupiter and Pluto are currently in earthy grand trine

State of the skies:- Today the Sun reaches 22 degrees Pisces. There are 8 days to the Vernal Equinox.
Mars, Jupiter and Pluto are singing out in grand earthy trine.
The fast but decelerating disseminating Moon is in Scorpio.
Mercury, and Uranus are in Aries. Mercury is now a retrograde evening 'star'.
He conjuncts Uranus a 2nd time at 4 Aries March 18th, and is at Inferior
Conjunction with the Sun on March 21st. He re-enters Pisces on March 23rd, for
24 days. He sextiles Venus on March 29th, and turns direct again on April 4th
at 24 Pisces. He re-enters Aries on April 16th, he is back up to speed on April 19th,
and he is conjunct Uranus at 6 Aries for a third and final time on April 22nd.
Mercury enters 'new territory' on April 23rd, squares Pluto on April 25th, sextiles
Venus again on May 4th and opposes Saturn on May 6th. Mercury enters Taurus on May 9th.
Venus is an evening 'star' in Taurus. Venus trines Pluto, conjunct Jupiter at 10 Taurus, and is trine Mars on
Wednesday, and she sextiles retrograde Mercury on March 29th. Venus moves into Gemini on April 3rd.
Shining brilliantly in the evening sky now, and increasing to maximum brightness in early May 2012,
Venus turns retrograde on May 15th 2012 at 24 Gemini, and is at Inferior Conjunction, passing over
the disc of the Sun, on June 6th 2012.
Mars is now retrograding Virgo and remains there right up to July 3rd 2012. He reached opposition to the Sun
on March 3rd 2012 at 14 Virgo. He is trine Jupiter on Wednesday and trine Pluto on Thursday.
He turns direct on April 14th at 4 Virgo and enters new territory on June 20th.
Jupiter in Taurus will make his final trine aspect to Pluto in Capricorn tomorrow.
We then have to navigate a total of 7 instances of Uranus square Pluto, the first being on
June 24th 2012 (as Jupiter squares Neptune) and the last in March 2015.
In the western sky, bright Jupiter and brighter Venus are 2° apart and closing.

This is the final of 3 of this robust aspect. The other hits were
Jul 7th 2011 and Oct 28th 2011. They proceed their climatic opposition
in 2013-2014, of a cycle which started in Dec 2007 in
Sagittarius, and will end with the planets next conjunction, a triple,

David Cameron has arrived in Washington for a three-day visit, with Afghanistan expected
to dominate his talks with US President Barack Obama.
The Cameron/Obama relationship chart, below, is a difficult map, dominated
by Mercury and Mars opposite Pluto. However the next few days sees transiting Saturn
trine natal Saturn, so a constructive time should be experienced.
Today the Moon decelerates towards her last quarter phase is in Sagittarius and
makes no aspects today.
However there is 'strong astrology' in the first 10 hours of the day.

People in Belgium are in mourning following the death of 28 people, including

I call it 'Strong Astrology'. It certainly is a lesson to us all how powerful,. and not
so necessarily favorable, these earth grand trines can be.

a probe into the massacre of 16 civilians by a US serviceman. The past week has been witness to
this massacre and a terrible coach crash in Switzerland killing 22 school children and 6 adults returning
from a skiing holiday. Both events have occurred as an earth grand trine, involving, retrograde Mars,
Venus, Jupiter and Pluto has dominated the skies.
A repeat of the measurement of the speed of neutrinos finds they do not exceed light speed, in contrast
to controversial results reported last year. Retrograde Mercury sets the record straight.
Now retrograde Mercury is applying to Uranus, their conjunction is tomorrow, beware now of

Yesterday as Mercury retrograded into Uranus' degree the news in the UK concerned the shocking
collapse of footballer Fabrice Muamba during an FA Cup quarter-final. Born April 6th
1988, retrograding Mars opposed his Sun/Mars and Jupiter/Neptune midpoints on Saturday.
Uranus has just hit his natal Mercury, Jupiter opposes his natal Pluto and the New Moon
on Thursday directly hits his natal Mercury. God speed good health.
In the wider world, tens of thousands of Egypt's Coptic Christians held an overnight vigil and attended
a Mass for Pope Shenouda III, who died on Saturday aged 88.
State of the skies:- Today the Sun reaches 29 degrees Pisces. The Vernal Equinox is tomorrow.
The Moon is old and decelerating in Aquarius. There is an New Moon on Thursday.
Today the Moon makes a waxing air trine to Saturn, becoming void, 20 32.
Mars, Jupiter and Pluto are still singing out, in grand earthy trine, but that is now fading.
Mercury, and Uranus are in Aries. Mercury is now a retrograde evening 'star'.
He is at Inferior Conjunction with the Sun on Wednesday. He re-enters Pisces on Friday, for
24 days. He sextiles Venus on March 29th, and turns direct again on April 4th
at 24 Pisces. He re-enters Aries on April 16th, he is back up to speed on April 19th,
and he is conjunct Uranus at 6 Aries for a third and final time on April 22nd.
Mercury enters 'new territory' on April 23rd, squares Pluto on April 25th, sextiles
Venus again on May 4th and opposes Saturn on May 6th. Mercury enters Taurus on May 9th.
Venus is an evening 'star' in Taurus. She sextiles retrograde Mercury on March 29th.
Venus moves into Gemini on April 3rd. Shining brilliantly in the evening sky now, and
increasing to maximum brightness in early May 2012, Venus turns retrograde on
May 15th 2012 at 24 Gemini, and is at Inferior Conjunction, passing over

Mars is retrograding in Virgo and remains there right up to July 3rd 2012.
He turns direct on April 14th at 4 Virgo and enters new territory on June 20th.
We have to navigate a total of 7 instances of Uranus square Pluto, the first being on
June 24th 2012 (as Jupiter squares Neptune) and the last in March 2015.
So then, the Equinox is tomorrow, the inferior Conjunction of Mercury is Wednesday,
Thursday is a very sharp day with strong 7th harmonic wave crashing, a close alignment
of the Moon and Mercury and a New Moon in Aries conjunct Uranus.
Stay close to The Daze!

Three gun attacks which left seven people dead and two wounded have sparked a security
alert in south-western France, with fears that the same killer could be at work. The major
transits at work in the France (1st republic) chart this month are Saturn conjunct natal Neptune,
and Uranus trine natal Moon. The former is mean, hard and subversive, the later serves to unite the
shared mood of the people. As the attack at a Jewish school in Toulouse yesterday took
place, retro Mars was exactly sextile natal Moon/Venus symbolising an attack on children.

The Sun, retrograde Mercury, and Uranus are in Aries, the Moon, Neptune (and Chiron) are
in Pisces. Venus and Jupiter in Taurus. The Moon applies in opposition to retrograde Mars in
Virgo. The time of germination is slightly muted by an ambivalent sky.
We now enter a 'holy period' between the equinox moment and the New Moon

midpoint. Retrograde Mars is almost exactly opposite Chiron at this time.

in southern France, after a 32-hour siege in Toulouse. Mohammed Merah, Oct 10th 1988,
was born on the day of a New Moon in Libra and died on the day of a New Moon in Aries.

of Saturn and Uranus. Police commandos stormed into his flat at 09:30 GMT. He has recently
undergone transiting Uranus conjunct his natal Mars. Jupiter is currently opposite his natal Pluto.

These next 24 days will be very much a time to re-adjust and re-focus.
The remainder of this day continues with 'a rush and a race' to the weekend.
The weekend ahead sees an 'electric Saturday' with the infant moon waxing in Aries,
and the Sun conjunct Uranus. Sunday looks to be a lot steadier, with the Moon joining
Venus and Jupiter in Taurus, making constructive aspects to Mars and Pluto.

Russia has the key to the Syrian problem, China has the key to the
North Korean problem. Last week's New Moon directly hit the natal Sun in
the China/North Korea relationship chart. US President Barack Obama
yesterday warned North Korea its planned long-range missile launch will
achieve nothing and increase its isolation. The launch is scheduled for
12-16 April, to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the birth of the
country late Great Leader Kim Il-sung.
Yesterday Russian President Dmitri Medvedev gave envoy Kofi Annan's mission full
backing, saying it may be the "last chance" to avoid a long civil war.

State of the skies:- Today the Sun reaches 6 degrees Aries. There are 84 days
to the Solstice. The Moon is a slowly waxing crescent in Taurus.
There are 55 days to an Annular Solar Eclipse in Gemini, and 69 days to a
Partial Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius.
Mercury is now a retrograde morning 'star' in Pisces. He sextiles Venus on March 29th,
and turns direct again on April 4th at 24 Pisces. He re-enters Aries on April 16th, he is back up
to speed on April 19th, and he is conjunct Uranus at 6 Aries for a third and final time on April 22nd.
Mercury enters 'new territory' on April 23rd, squares Pluto on April 25th, sextiles
Venus again on May 4th and opposes Saturn on May 6th. Mercury enters Taurus on May 9th.
Venus is an evening 'star' in Taurus. She sextiles retrograde Mercury on March 29th.
Venus moves into Gemini on April 3rd. Shining brilliantly in the evening sky now, and
increasing to maximum brightness in early May 2012, Venus turns retrograde on
May 15th 2012 at 24 Gemini, and is at Inferior Conjunction, passing over
the disc of the Sun, on June 6th 2012.
Mars is retrograding in Virgo and remains there right up to July 3rd 2012.
He turns direct on April 14th at 4 Virgo and enters new territory on June 20th.
We have to navigate a total of 7 instances of Uranus square Pluto, the first being on

Yesterday China and the US agreed to co-ordinate their response to a controversial
North Korean rocket launch, as Korean tensions rise. The USA China relationship chart
has transiting Pluto conjunct the ascendant this month. Good news maybe.
In the UK a scandal has broken out concerning David Cameron in what has been dubbed
the "cash for access" affair. The Conservatives were initially unwilling on Sunday to say which donors
had been guests in David Cameron's flat for dinner, but by lunchtime on Monday they published details.
Cameron, a Libran Sun sign, is being battered from Uranus in Aries. Uranus is currently quincunx his
natal Mercury, a simple twist of fate, and Uranus moves on to oppose his natal Venus in May,
September 2012 and in March next year. His fate resonates with that of the UK. Big events
are in store as Pluto this spring is conjunct the IC of the UK chart. Around the 24th - 25th April
Jupiter opposes UK Neptune and Neptune is conjunct UK Pluto. In May Uranus is conjunct the
UK descendant( just as Uranus opposes David Cameron's Venus). Historical events are
likely in the UK, starting this year. At the exact moment of the next Full Moon on Good Friday, Saturn
is exactly rising at London.
As an aside, UK fuel tanker drivers have voted in favour of taking strike action in a row over terms
and conditions and safety, the Unite union has said. The government is holding a meeting with fuel
delivery companies and supermarkets to plan tactics for coping with any resulting strike.
Army drivers are being trained to deliver fuel to petrol stations in case of a walkout by tanker drivers.
Today is not an easy day astrologically speaking.

Saturn and Pluto together give rise to struggle and endurance.
Readers are encouraged to read an article by Robert Hand on their cycle.
The current Saturn Pluto cycle started in November 1982 with their conjunction in Libra.
It was mainly a period of brutal but regional wars. The Iran-Iraq War raged throughout this
period, with severe loss of life on both sides. The opposition was manifest in 2001.
The '9-11' event occurred during Saturn opposite Pluto.
Today's aspect, the second of 3 has its final hit, on Aug 19th 2012.
We have elections in Russia, China, France, Germany and the USA
as this 'transforming' waning quintile aspect rings out.
The cycle ends in Jan 2020 with a conjunction in Capricorn.

In the UK government advice to top up petrol tanks and fill jerry cans as part of
"sensible" precautions ahead of any fuel tanker strike initiated widespread activity.

IS IT SNOWING MICROBES ON ENCELADUS? As NASA's Cassini spacecraft
completes its deepest-ever pass through the plumes of Enceladus, researchers are
wondering if it might be snowing microbes there. The idea is not so far-fetched as
evidence mounts for a "uniquely accessible" habitable zone on Saturn's icy moon. [full story]

April 2012 will witness a very dynamic set of planetary patterns in the sky,
mostly set around retrograde Mars opposite Neptune (and Chiron)
square the lunar nodal axis. These planetary arrangements are bound to bring about
the breakdown and dissolution of many structures and systems. Changes ahead.

Many changes starting today.
The waxing and accelerating Moon sextiles Saturn 08:57
The Moon hits gibbous phase 12:27 and the procession towards
the 'Good Friday' Full Moon begins in earnest.
The Moon, Mars, Venus and Neptune
form a mutable T-square 13:00 to 22:00.
This is the start of potentially many strange events both personal
and global in nature during April 2012.
Moon squares Venus becoming void 13:48
The Moon leaves today's T-square but
the three planets continue to be arrayed
in T-square right up to April 10th.
Moon enters Virgo 13:54 joining Mars in that sign.
Venus enters Gemini 15:19
Venus will turn retrograde in Gemini so she resides here for the long haul.
She also transits the solar disc during her retrograde phase.
Venus squares Neptune on April 6th, squares Mars on April 8th, sextiles Uranus
on April 9th, and opposes the lunar node on April 12th. On that day she enters
repeatable territory. Venus will shine at her very
brightest during the early evenings of early May. Venus turn retrograde
on May 15th at 24 Gemini, squares Mars a 2nd time on June 5th, transits the disc
of the Sun on June 6th and sextiles Uranus a 2nd time on June 21st. Venus
turns direct again on June 27th at 7 Gemini. She sextiles Uranus a final time on
July 5th. During mid July Venus will shine really brilliantly in the morning skies.
Venus enters new territory on July 31st, the day she trines Saturn.
She enters Cancer on August 7th.
Venus in Gemini symbolises a time of variety and interplay.
These coming months are vitally important. Venus in Gemini will preside over
the first blast of Uranus square Pluto, and with Mars in Virgo until July 3rd; the square
he makes to Venus make is not conducive to 'harmony in relationships'.

This is a one off aspect in the Jupiter Neptune cycle. The cycle began
with a triple conjunction in 2009 at 24-26 degrees Aquarius.
Today's aspect precedes the waxing square aspect with Jupiter in
Gemini on June 25th 2012. The climatic opposition occurs in Sept.
2015 across Pisces Virgo, and the cycle ends in 2022 in Pisces.
The cycle symbolises speculation and fantasy. Today's aspect maybe
provides an artistic outlet for the rather the rather errant energy of these two.

This is the 4th Full Moon following the Total Lunar Eclipse on Dec 10th 2011, and
the penultimate Full Moon before the Partial Lunar Eclipse on June 4th 2012.
This Full Moon is applying in conjunction to Spica and to Saturn. The skies are
currently dominated by a mutable cross involving the lunar nodal axis, Mars, Venus,
Neptune and Chiron. There is only one body, Jupiter, in a fixed sign. Change and
inconstancy are therefore in the air. This lunation, which is a serious but potentially
beautiful affair, evokes and induces change and readjustment.
At the moment of Full Moon Saturn is exactly rising at London and at Madrid. The
Moon is rising over north Scotland and Ireland. The Moon culminates at Kabul and
sets over south New Zealand. Mars culminates at Cairo. Neptune rises over the
Korean peninsular and is at lower culmination at Istanbul.
Today's Full Moon directly hits the natal Moon of Burma, and is close to the natal
Moon of Aung San Suu Kyi. It also hits the natal Mercury of Leonard Cohen, the natal
Venus of Sean Connery, Elvis Costello, and Prince Harry, the natal Mars of Nick Clegg
and the South Korea chart, the natal Jupiter of Italy, Fabio Capello and George W Bush,
the natal Saturn of Vladmir Putin, the natal Neptune of Steve Hillage, and the natal Pluto
of revolutionary Iran. Today is the birthday of Andre Previn (83), Paul Daniels (74),
Rory Bremner (51) and Fabrice Muamba (24).
After the Full Moon moment passes, the Libran Moon accelerates towards Spica
and is conjunct Saturn tomorrow.

Scientists have found new evidence that resistance to the front-line treatments for
malaria is increasing. They have confirmed that resistant strains of the malaria
parasite on the border between Thailand and Burma, 500 miles (800km) away
from previous sites. Researchers say that the rise of resistance means the
effort to eliminate malaria is "seriously compromised".
The details are in The Lancet (April 5th 2012) medical journal. Mars was
square Neptune when this news broke, one arm of the powerful mutable
cross dominating the skies this easter.
The Full Moon has passed, and Mercury is on the move again, picking
up speed, and Venus is applying in a flirtatious waxing sextile to Uranus.

was launched from north-west North Korea early on Friday. The rocket went up
at 07:39 local time (22:39 GMT Thursday).
Transiting Neptune is exactly opposite the North Korea Sun/Pluto midpoint today.
This influence obviously undermined the country's power ambitions.
At the time of writing a fragile ceasefire appears to be holding in Syria, despite
violations reported by both sides, as the UN considers deploying monitors.
Today the Sun, the Moon and Saturn form a cardinal T-square 10:00 to 16:00.
A hard graft of a day, but not without progress.

Daze readers will no doubt be curious to learn about Anders Breivik. We have no time of birth
but he was born Feb 13th 1979. He was born during an eclipse season which climaxed with his
progressed New Moon in 1992 being a Total Solar Eclipse in Pisces when he was 13. His progressed
Full Moon in 2007 was a partial lunar eclipse, square his Neptune. He was born with the Sun, Mercury
and Mars in emotionally detached Aquarius and his Moon and Saturn were in regimental Virgo. He has
a strong Mars, trine Pluto and violently square Uranus. His Sun and Mars are in delusional sextile to
Neptune. At the time of his misdeeds last July the lunar node was conjunct this lost sheep Neptune, and
his soul was ill. Currently Pluto is conjunct his natal Venus, blowing up his personal Nazi publicity. What a
mean and merciless man. He has damned himself by misdirecting his God given energy.
Today is an old Moon Friday, don't expect too much, but the weekend ahead is amazing.
The Sun now in Taurus is in waxing biquintile the lunar node 19 31, heralding the dawn of
a new eclipse season.
The ancient, slow, Moon in Aries is opposite Saturn becoming void 19:36
Mercury is in awkward waning quincunx to Mars 22:16.
Well, the weekend ahead is very interesting.
The New Moon is tomorrow. Sunday is astrologically strong. The Moon will be
conjunct Jupiter, the Sun sextiles Neptune, Mercury will be conjunct Uranus and there
are strong 9th and 14th harmonics at work.
The French election is on Sunday. Nicolas Sarkozy has transiting Pluto square his Mars
and Saturn square his Uranus, so is a defeat on the cards? By the end of May, Uranus sextiles
his natal Sun, setting him free again.

A plane carrying up to 127 people has crashed in a residential area near Islamabad
international airport. Aviation officials said the Bhoja Air jet, flight BHO-213, was flying
from Karachi to Islamabad when it crashed in bad weather minutes from landing.
Emergency teams are at the crash site, reported to be at Hussain Abad village.
There are no reports of survivors. The jet left Karachi at around 17:00 local time
(12:00 GMT) and had been due to arrive at 18:50 (13:50 GMT). At the time of
take off Uranus and Mercury were setting at Karachi square the local MC and quincunx

At the time of this pre-eclipse New Moon, Mars remains opposite Neptune and
Chiron and square the lunar nodal axis. Mercury applies to Uranus, and the New
Moon is sextile Neptune and trine Mars. There are five bodies in Earth signs and
only one (Neptune), in a water sign. There is a predominance of trine aspects at
this time.
At the exact moment of New Moon the Sun and Moon align to the MC of Kabul.
Venus rises at Madrid, Neptune rises and Mars sets at Lima, Neptune culminates at
Kinshasa, and sets at Singapore, Uranus rises at Rio de Janeiro. Mercury and Uranus
align to Mogadishu.
Today is the birthday of Queen Elizabeth of Britain who is 86, and of Iggy Pop who is
65. Both these individuals have big new 'chapters' in their lives starting today.
Today's New Moon also hits the natal moon of Prince Charles, Joesph Biden, Dimitry
Madvedev, and probably Brian Cox. It hits the natal Saturn of Ginger Baker, Cate
Blanchett, Ayatollah Khamanei and Ed Milliband.
This is the 5th New Moon following the partial solar eclipse on November 25th 2011
and the ultimate New Moon before the annular solar eclipse in Gemini on May 20th 2012.
With the passing of this New moon we are once again in the foothills of a new eclipse season.

Earth is approaching the debris field of ancient Comet Thatcher, source of the annual
Lyrid meteor shower. Forecasters expect the shower to peak on April 21-22;
a nearly-new moon on those dates will provide perfect dark-sky conditions for
meteor watching. Usually the shower is mild (10-20 meteors per hour) but
unmapped filaments of dust in the comet's tail sometimes trigger outbursts 10 times stronger

opposite Jupiter. Mercury is opposite Saturn.
This is the 5th Full Moon following the Total Lunar Eclipse on Dec 10th 2011, and
the ultimate Full Moon before the Partial Lunar eclipse on June 4th 2012. With its
passing we are in the fury of an eclipse season.
The sky currently is dominated by a separating Mercury opposite Saturn, and the
Full Moon herself, in Scorpio, close to the Saturn/Node midpoint is opposite Jupiter.
This 'super Full Moon' oversees an outlandish atmosphere which is both intense and
substantial. 'Serious consideration', is the hallmark, 'fateful decision' the outcome.
This Full Moon directly hits the Mars Neptune conjunction in the charts of
Bashar al Assas and Dimitry Madvedev. It hits the natal Sun in the Russian (1917) chart,
the Midheaven in the 1956 Sudan chart, and the ascendant in the Cameron Government chart.
It also hits the MC of Prince Harry of the UK, and the natal Venus of Hilary Clinton.
At the moment of Full Moon the Moon rises at Vancouver. Pluto culminates at Toulouse,
Mercury and Saturn align to Berne, Pluto rises at Bangor Maine.

Socialist Francois Hollande has been elected as France's president, defeating incumbent
Nicolas Sarkozy, in a vote that has wide implications for the eurozone.
Francois Hollande was born 00:10 Aug 12th 1954 Rouen, with Gemini rising,
Sun, Mercury and Pluto in presidential Leo,
waxing gibbous Moon in 9th house autocratic Capricorn tightly opposite Jupiter,
humanitarian, square Neptune, with ideals. Venus was in Libra, a sweet charm, Mars
in Sagittarius, always a military hue, trine Pluto, courage. He sports a predominance
of brazen Fire and Cardinal signs. His is on a glory ride to his Progressed Full Moon
in 2015 in Aries. Currently May 2012 sees transiting Saturn sextilePluto, conjunct Neptune,
transiting Node sextile MC, Uranus sextile Ascendant, prog Moon in Aquarius sextile Mars.
His relationship chart with David Cameron is interesting. Here we see in mutable
T-square, Mars opposite Jupiter square Mercury, very irritable and testy . Very Virgo.
Moon opposite Neptune, love and confusion in a mist, loads of Earth, common sense
and practicality.

Mercury is now a direct morning 'star' in late Aries. Mercury enters Taurus on May 9th.
Venus is an evening star approaching her retrograde station in Gemini. Venus is in repeatable territory.
Venus turns retrograde on May 15th at 24 Gemini, squares Mars a 2nd time on June 5th, transits

again on June 27th at 7 Gemini. She sextiles Uranus a final time on July 5th. During mid July
Venus will shine really brilliantly in the morning skies. Venus enters new territory on July 31st,
the day she trines Saturn. She enters Cancer on August 7th.
Mars is now moving directly in Virgo but remains in this sign right up to July 3rd 2012.

All change in Europe. The political barometer has moved to the left. With swings
to Labour in the UK local elections last week, with the election of socialist Francois
Hollande in France, and with the rejection of 'austerity economics' in Greece over
the Super Full Moon weekend just past, we have a new political landscape.
Greek conservative Antonis Samaras has three days to form a coalition in the face
of strong EU warnings to keep to the terms of bailouts, as anti-austerity parties
make big gains in parliamentary elections.
New French President Francois Hollande vows to redraw a pact on EU budget
constraints, saying "austerity can no longer be the only option.
In addition to yesterday's bit on the new French president, I looked today at
his relationship chart with Angela Merkel of Germany. This chart is shows a New
Moon in Leo, and contains several positive attributes but is tempered by the Sun
and Moon square Saturn. The personal chemistry is there, to good effect, this
relationship has the potential to be warm hearted, but there is limitation in what
can be produced. The chart is shortly to undergo a progressed New Moon in Libra,
probably next year. So we have an amicable, fair minded if dithering couple on our,
hands, uncertain how to move forward.
We are moving deeper into eclipse season. We have an honest and forthright day, today.

A huge sunspot, the biggest for years, is crackling with M-class solar flares and
appears to be on the verge of producing even stronger blasts.

as the sunspot turns to face Earth. http://www.spaceweather.com/

The “path of annularity” is a strip about 300 km wide and thousands of km long. It stretches from
China and Japan, across the Pacific Ocean, to the middle of North America. In the United States,
the afternoon sun will become a luminous ring in places such as Medford, Oregon; Chico, California;
Reno, Nevada; St. George, Utah; Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Lubbock, Texas.

Solar Saros 128
Today's eclipse is the 58th member of the Solar Saros Series 128. The first
eclipse in the series was a partial eclipse at the south pole on Aug 29th 0984.
The time of central eclipse was 08:35 UT. The astrological chart for this moment,
set for London, is below. The saros produced Total eclipses from 1417 to 1471. all
the eclipses since 1561 have been annular. The longest Total eclipse was in June 1453.
This was proceeded by the fall of Constantinople and was followed by the end of the
100 years war.
Suffice to say that the last eclipse in the series was May 10th 1994, the
very day that Nelson Mandela was inaugurated, and two days later
UK Labour party John Smith died. Before that the eclipse on 29th April 1976
coincided 8 days later with an earthquake in Italy killing 700. The eclipse on
April 19th 1958 coincided three days later with a mid air collision,
as did the one in March 1922, which coincided 9 days later with the world's
first mid air collision. The eclipse on April 7th 1940, coincided with the German
invasion of Denmark (2 days later) and there followed of course Winston Churchill
coming to power, the start of the holocaust in Europe, and the Battle of Britain. The 1904 eclipse
seems to oversee the completion of the trans siberian railway and the start of the
building of the Panama Canal.
The next two eclipses in this Saros are on June 1st 2030, and on June 11th 2048,
the series ends in the year 2282.
The Saros chart has a stellium in Virgo
Astro personality contacts.
Today's eclipse directly hits the natal Sun of Cher, Joe Cocker and Morrissey, the natal
Moon of Mick Jagger, the natal Mercury of Bjon Borg and Mercury in the Russian 1990
chart, the natal Saturn in the chart of Julian Assange and Uranus in David Crosby's chart
and Uranus in the Syrian Independence chart.
Astrocartography.
At the moment of greatest eclipse, the Sun and Moon rise over central East India and NE
Pakistan. They set over Cuba and central America and are at lower culmination under
SE England, central France and Algeria. Mars rises at Sofia, Mercury sets at Kabul, and
Neptune is at lower culmination under Havana.

Mercury enters Gemini 11:13, joining the Sun
and retrograde Venus in that sign.
Mercury will whiz through this sign in just 14 days. He is square Neptune
tomorrow, and opposes the Lunar node on Saturday. He is at Superior
Conjunction with the Sun on May 27th at 6 Gemini. As an evening 'star'
he squares Mars on May 31st and is conjunct retrograde Venus at 18
Gemini on June 1st. Mercury trines Saturn on June 4th, entering Cancer
on June 7th. Mercury next turns retrograde at 12 Leo on July 15th.
We can expect lightening fast reactions and developments during this
brief period.
We are now in a very busy period. Vibrancy and vacillation will command
the coming days.

Yesterday UN observers counted at least 90 bodies, including 32 children, after
Syrian government forces attacked the town of Houla, on Friday, sparking foreign
condemnation .Western nations are this morning pressing for a response to the massacre
with the US calling for an end to what it called President Bashar al-Assad's "rule by murder".
Astrologically the president is hit by next weeks lunar eclipse which is square his natal Sun,
Uranus, Pluto conjunction, and the looming Uranus Pluto square hits his Sun/Venus midpoint.
Saturn transits his Venus this year, and his Mars next year. His progressed Mars is square his

State of the skies:- Today the Sun is at 7 degrees Gemini.
We are deep in eclipse season, poised between the Annular Eclipse of
the Sun on May 20thm and the Partial Lunar Eclipse on June 4th.
7 days to a Partial Lunar Eclipse.
9 days to the Transit of Venus... 23 days to the Solstice.
Mercury is an evening 'star' in Gemini, he squares Mars on May 31st
and is conjunct retrograde Venus at 18 Gemini on June 1st.
Mercury trines Saturn on June 4th, entering Cancer on June 7th.
Mercury next turns retrograde at 12 Leo on July 15th.
Venus is an evening star retrograding in Gemini.
Venus squares Mars a 2nd time on June 5th, transits
the disc of the Sun on June 6th and sextiles Uranus a 2nd time on June 21st. Venus turns direct
again on June 27th at 7 Gemini. She sextiles Uranus a final time on July 5th. During mid July
Venus will shine really brilliantly in the morning skies. Venus enters new territory on July 31st,
the day she trines Saturn. She enters Cancer on August 7th.
Mars is in Virgo and remains in this sign right up to July 3rd 2012.
He enters new territory on June 20th.
We soon have to navigate a total of 7 instances of Uranus square Pluto, the first being on
June 24th 2012 (as Jupiter squares Neptune) and the last in March 2015.

Umbral eclipse starts 09:59:53
Maximum eclipse 11:04:20
Umbral eclipse ends 12:06:28
Penumbral eclipse ends 13:18:13
At the moment of maximum eclipse The eclipsed Moon rises over Vietnam sets over Panama,
and at New Orleans and is at lower culmination at Berlin. Jupiter culminates over the UK,
Neptune and Uranus are in configuration over Syria, Turkey and Saudi, Mercury culminates Athens,
Venus culminates at Madrid, venus sets over North Korea, Neptune sets at Madrid, Saturn
rises over the straight of Kumzar.
Lunar saros 140.
The Saros family to which today's eclipse belongs began on September 25th 1597. The chart
for the moment of maximum eclipse of this Saros, set for London, is set out below. The series
'went partial' on May 3rd 1958 and will 'go total' on July 30th 2102. The Saros peaks with
its longest Total Eclipse in April 2264. The Saros series ends in the year 2968. This Saros
is currently in its adolescent phase and only starting to make its impact on human evolution.
The quality of lunar Saros 140, as shown in the chart of the first eclipse in the series, is one
of impulse, revolution and adjustment through trauma and inspiration, an odd cocktail. The
said chart is a highly combustible mixture of 5 air and 4 fire signs. Uranus and Pluto are
conjunct in Aries opposite Venus. The Sun and Moon are square Mars, Neptune is trine
Uranus. Its influence inflamed Hitler's invasion of France and the Low Countries in 1940.
Both war and peace are interwoven here. The Saros is a 'wild card', one to be mindful of.
This eclipse directly hits the natal Venus of Tracy Bingham (sex is over), the natal Mars of
Cate Blanchett, the natal Jupiter of Jimmy Carter and Burma, the natal Saturn of Argentina,
and the natal Uranus of Chelsea Davy and Australia. The eclipse is closely square Queen Elizabeth's
Venus, square Bashar Al Assad's Uranus, and square Aung San Suu Kyi's Uranus. Today is the 37th
birthday of time twins Russell Brand and Angelina Jolie, and the 41st birthday of actor Noah Wyle.
This eclipse forms a T-square with Mars. The 4th point of this square is 16 Pisces which is David
Beckham's Mars, Greece's Jupiter, and Robert Mugabe's Uranus.
The next lunar eclipse is a weak penumbral event in Gemini on Nov 28th this year.
The next Total Lunar Eclipse is on October 8th 2014 in Aries, 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, a 'must experience' night trip agenda item. Pencil it in.

and the 5th New Moon before the Total Solar Eclipse on November 13th 2012 in Scorpio.
At the moment of today's New Moon Jupiter culminates at New York.
The New Moon today directly hits the natal Sun, of Aung San Suu Kyi, of Paul McCartney,
and of Ayman al Zawhiri, the current leader of al Qaeda. It hits the natal Moon of Japan, the
natal Mercury of England Football captain Stephen Gerrard, the natal Mars of Sean Connery
and Pope Benedict, the natal Jupiter of Bashar al Assad and Dimitri Madvedev, the natal Saturn
of Kate Moss and the natal Uranus of Cat Stevens and Robert Plant.

We live and breath in a world that is currently poised in a difficult situation.
The infant Moon in Cancer applies to Mercury, both square Saturn ,about to turn direct,
therein lies some hope. Care, protection, circumspection, financial and ecological prudence
amid titanic monetary and climate turbulence. That is the message of this time.
Wishing all Daze readers a very happy solstice.

The Sun, the Moon and Mercury are in Cancer.
The world, as you may guess, has moved on.
Antonis Samaras born 23 May 1951 was yesterday sworn in as Greece's new PM, vowing to "give hope" to
Greek people after political turmoil threatened to spill over to the eurozone.
The announcement of the result of Egypt's presidential election has been delayed
to investigate complaints, with no new timetable set.

Yesterday The Muslim Brotherhood's Mohammed Mursi wais declared the winner
of Egypt's presidential run-off, prompting wild celebrations in Cairo's Tahrir Square.
Mursi has a fiery Sun, Mars, Pluto in Leo, Moon and Jupiter in Aries square Uranus.
Turkey's government called a meeting of Nato member states to discuss its response
to the shooting down of one of its warplanes by Syria. Turkey has a very explosive
Pluto square and Uranus opposite her natal Mars in early August.

State of the sky:-The Sun is 4 degrees Cancer. There are 86 days to
the Autumn Equinox. We are now almost out of the recent eclipse
season.
The Moon is waxing to first quarter which she reaches on Wednesday. The next Full
Moon is on July 3rd in Capricorn, and is a very difficult lunation, being conjunct Pluto
and square Uranus.
Mercury is a decelerating 'evening star' in Cancer. He enters Leo tomorrow.
On July 27th Mercury reaches 'repeatable territory' and slows to a geocentric
speed of less than a degree per day on July 1st, prior to turning retrograde
at 12 Leo on July 15th, remaining retrograde until August 8th.
Venus is a decelerating retrograde 'morning star' in Gemini. She turns direct
on Wednesday, and enters Cancer on August 7th.
Mars has been in Virgo since January 24th, he enters Libra on July 3rd.
From July 16th to July 20th he forms a very violent planetary T-square
with Uranus and Pluto. The Moon joins them in a Cardinal grand square
on July 17th. All this time Mars applies in conjunction to Saturn which
occurs on August 15th.

casualty of Uranus square Pluto aspect in the sky right now.
The Cyprus chart has Mercury, Venus and Mars, at 8 degrees of signs all being hit hard by
transiting Pluto and Uranus. The Cyprus Sun is also hooked into the melee.
Mercury enters Leo 02:25, and he will remain in this sign right up to September

Yesterday fierce fighting was reported between troops and rebel forces in the suburbs
of the Syrian capital Damascus, amid heightened tension between Syria and Turkey.
The violence came as Turkey issued a stark warning to its neighbour Syria over the
downing of a jet last week. The transiting lunar node 'point of destiny' is currently
conjunct the important Sun/Moon midpoint in the relationship chart of these two countries.
Transiting Saturn squares the tight Moon opposite Pluto in the said chart in the last
week of July with Mars conjunct relationship Sun at that time.
The astrological symbolism suggests big forces are at work between these two countries.
Mercury today reaches 'repeatable territory' and slows to a geocentric
speed of less than a degree per day on July 1st, prior to turning retrograde
at 12 Leo on July 15th. Matters arising now may well have to be revisited
later on in the weeks ahead. This is not an auspicious period for initiating
new plans.
The Moon, Sun Uranus and Pluto form a grand cardinal cross
03:00 to 08:00 today, serious considerations may manifest.
The Sun continues to tighten in Cardinal T-square with

Yesterday Mohammed Mursi was sworn in as Egypt's first civilian,
democratically elected president at a historic ceremony in Cairo.
Hours after the ceremony, he was saluted by Field Marshal Hussein
Tantawi, leader of the military council which is handing over power.
His swearing in occurs at Pluto, Uranus and the Sun are in very
difficult T-square.
Talks on Syria's crisis end with agreement that a transitional government
should be set up to pursue peace.
A violent summer storm cut power to three million people around the US

This Full Moon is the first one following the Partial Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius
on June4th, and the 5th Full Moon before the Penumbral Lunar Eclipse in Gemini
on Nov 28th. Today's Full Moon is separating from Pluto and square Uranus.
Mercury, Venus and Pluto are in tight finger of fate arrangement, this is a difficult lunation.
At the moment of Full Moon the Moon rises over Algiers and at Monrovia, culminates
at New Delhi, and is at lower culmination at Wounded Knee USA. Pluto rises at
Stockholm, Saturn rises at New Orleans. Jupiter and the lunar node highlight Syria,
Manila, Tasmania and Moscow.
Today is the birthday of Julian Assange, Tom Cruise, Montel Williams, Elizabeth
Edwards and Tom Stoppard. All these folk can expect a climatic year ahead.
This Full Moon at 12 degrees Capricorn directly hits the Sun and natal Mercury
of Burma, and the natal Saturn of African countries, Nigeria, Congo and Ivory Coast,
and the Saturn of Cyprus. It also hits the natal Venus of Miley Cyrus, the natal Mars
of Cherie Blaire, the ascendants of Prince Harry and Prince Philip of the UK,
and the lunar node of Francoise Hollande.
Phew! This Full Moon is a real problem, handle carefully, beware its power.

Another Full Moon is over, and Mars is now in Libra. At the time of the full moon peak,
news reports were 'low key'. Pakistan is expected to reopen supply routes to Nato-led
forces in Afghanistan, as Washington apologises for killing 24 of its soldiers in November.
Also Syrian President Bashar al-Assad expressed regrets "100%" that a Turkish F-4 jet was
shot down after entering Syrian airspace. He told a Turkish newspaper. Moderate reports these,
occurring with a smoother Mars in Libra vibration. It seems to have taken the sting out of
the difficult lunation. The cosmos has to work itself out.
Today a decelerating Mercury, in Leo, 11 days from his station is waning quincunx Pluto 06:20.
The fast moving, hung over Moon, now waning in Capricorn is square Saturn,
becoming void 12:26 for 12 hours. Not an easy GMT morning then.

Yesterday Egypt's highest court rejected President Mursi's order to reopen parliament,
heightening tensions between the new leader and the military. The confused square
between transiting Neptune and the Lunar Node, peaking today, is directly and exactly
linked by hard 45 degree and 135 degree aspects to Mursi's natal Neptune. This is a
chaotic start to his presidency.
A day to follow urges.

A very violent and harsh cardinal T-square with Mars, Uranus and Pluto has started
to make itself felt.
Yesterday UN and Arab League envoy for Syria Kofi Annan has said he was
"shocked and appalled" at reports of mass killings in the Syrian village of Tremseh.
The UN said it had confirmed intense fighting including the use of tanks, helicopters
and heavy artillery. Syrian state media claimed "terrorist groups" had massacred
civilians, but activists blamed government forces and said 200 people had died.

Today's New Moon is the second New Moon following the Annular Solar Eclipse on May 20th
and the 4th New Moon before the Total Solar Eclipse on November 13th 2012 in Scorpio.
This New Moon occurs as Mars, Uranus and Pluto are arrayed in strong and potentially
violent cardinal T-square. Jupiter in Gemini eases the situation a little. Mercury is retrograde.
There is a predominance of cardinal and air signs at work right now and a lack of fixed and earth signs.
At the moment of New Moon the Sun and Moon are rising over the UK, France, Libya
(Moonrise at Tripoli), and Central Africa, including Harare. Mars culminates and
Uranus lower culminates at Brussels. The Sun and Moon culminate at Hong Kong
and at Perth. Mercury rises at Cairo. Neptune sets at tehran. Pluto sets at Cape town.
This New Moon directly hits the natal Moon of Pakistan, the natal Sun of Asif Ali Zardari,
president of Pakistan, it also hits the natal Venus of Russell Brand, the natal Mars of
Cyrus Miley, Saif Gaddafi, and most significantly of the Syrian Intendance chart (1946).
Could this New moon provide the impetus to regime change?
The New Moon also hits the Jupiter Uranus conjunction of the generation born around the
birth of Rowan Atkinson.
After the New Moon , a period of lunar 'void of course' ensues for almost 6 hours. During this
period Mars waning biquintile Neptune 08:16
The infant Moon accelerates into Leo 10:14 and slowly applies to retrograde Mercury in that sign,

The US space agency (Nasa) says it has narrowed the expected landing zone for its Mars rover, Curiosity.
The 900kg robot is heading for a touchdown on 6 August (GMT) in a near-equatorial depression on the
Red Planet known as Gale Crater.
The rover's entry capsule is due to hit the top of the Martian atmosphere just after 05:10 GMT.
It will then take six or seven minutes to reach the surface, depending on factors such as the wind.
Touchdown is therefore expected at about 05:17 GMT. Given the light-travel time involved, signals
confirming these events should be received at Earth at 05:24 GMT and 05:31 GMT (06:31 BST) respectively.
Transiting Saturn is right now exactly conjunct Jupiter in the NASA astrological chart. Since these two
planets are in favorable sextile in the chart we can expect today's landing to be successful. Landings on
Mars have been very unsuccessful in the past,

The Political Astrology Blog has discovered Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan’s birth time.
According to an uncertified copy of Paul Ryan’s original certificate of live birth from the
Wisconsin State Vital Records Office, he was born on January 29, 1970
at 2:37 AM in Janesville, Wisconsin.
While Paul Ryan is not exactly a household name yet, over the past few years he
has become a rising star in the Republican party.
If the birthtime is correct we can see the current Mars Saturn conjunction in Libra
is right now conjunct his natal Moon. His progressed Venus is conjunct natal Mars.
Transiting Saturn is conjunct his natal Jupiter in November, the pair were in fixed
opposition at birth. Not the best omen for him, but we shall see.
Marjorie Orr wrote yesterday, '
Born 29 January 1970 he's a Sun Venus in Aquarius with an Air Earth chart so cool like
Romney though more practical. Ryan has Jupiter in Scorpio like Romney so immersed in
finance. He has a dislikes-failure Saturn in Taurus opposition Jupiter (Moon) square a
Fixed focal point Sun Venus - so ego-centric, stubborn, enduring and charming with it
in a detached way.
He also has a volcanic, hates-interference Mars in Aries opposition Uranus Pluto with
Uranus square Mercury so he'll be outspoken and overly impatient at times. He could be
ruthless when it comes to it with that Mars opposition Pluto.
His Sun is further emphasised being in an innovative trine to Uranus and also on the point
of a mini Grand Trine of Mars to Neptune - so he loves publicity and glamour and
definitely craves personal attention. He could end up being a bit of a troublemaker.'

Mursi has transiting Pluto conjunct his Jupiter/Saturn midpoint right now. He appears
to be making a gamble. The New Moon on Friday is close to his Leo Sun, he just may win.
Iran began a relief operation after twin earthquakes in the north-west of the country
have left at least 250 people dead and more than 2,000 injured. Iran's progressed

Today's New Moon is mid way in time between the Annular Solar Eclipse on May 20th
in Gemini and the Total Solar Eclipse on November 13th 2012 in Scorpio.
The characteristics of this lunation are the tight sextile relationship that the Sun and Moon make with
Mars and Saturn, and the separating cardinal T-square with Venus, Uranus and Pluto.
We have on our hands a resplendent, creative, colorful and flamboyant vibration. There is
little practicality but a wealth of enterprise and initiative. This one is good for vision and management..
At the moment of New Moon,. Mars and Saturn are culminating over the central UK, an
important month for the UK is indicated. Pluto rises at Copenhagen, Toulouse and
Stockholm. Turkey is starred, Mercury sets at Istanbul, the lunar node culminates at Ankara, the Moon sets
at Jerusalem, Jupiter and Neptune form a paran on the Iraq Iran border, Uranus rises at Kabul,
Jupiter rises at Shanghai and at Sydney, the Sun and Moon are at lower culmination at Manila, serious
flooding has been devastating that city.
Mars rises Atlanta, the Sun culminates at Buenos Aires, Mercury culminates at Lima,
Mars and Saturn rise at San Salvador.
Today's New Moon hits the natal Moon of Ahmadinejad Mahmoud, the natal Uranus
of Barack Obama, the natal Mars of Honduras and Italy, the natal Mercury Saturn conjunction
of South Korea and the Jupiter Pluto conjunction of Morocco,and of Bjon Borg.
Today is the birthday of Robert Deniro (68), Jiang Zemin, president of China (85),
Nelson Piquet (59), and Belinda Carlisle (54).
Being midway between eclipses, a point of karmic balance, today's New Moon heralds the
resurgence of the effect of Solar Saros 133, at a particularly potent stage in its history, and
to which the next Solar Eclipse on November 13th belongs.

Three members of Russian punk band Pussy Riot have been jailed for two years in Moscow
for hooliganism after performing an anti-Putin song in a cathedral.
From left to right Yekaterina Samutsevich born Aug 9th 1982, Maria Alyokhina June 6th 1986,
Nadezha Tolokonnikova Nov 12th 1989. These three are a symbol of the manifestation of
popular unrest and dissatisfaction with Putin's modern Russia.
Putin has just had transiting Saturn conjunct his Mars Pluto midpoint, a mark of aggressive
restriction. He has transiting Saturn conjunct his ascendant (assuming correct birth time) and
conjunct his natal Venus this Autumn, and Neptune will be squaring his natal Moon for some
time to come, all bleak and melancholy, but the real challenge comes in 2014 when Uranus
opposes his natal Sun. Bravo to Pussy Riot, shame on Putin.

Today's aspect heralds the waning sextile aspect Dec 2012 to Sept 2013,
and the next conjunction in 2020 in Capricorn. Saturn Pluto relates to
'power structures', today's aspect relates to a transformation.

infringing design patents.
US astronaut Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the Moon, has died at the age of 82 from
complications following heart surgery. Neil Armstrong, was a Leo Sun sign subject, with a
pioneering Sagitarian Moon. His conjunction of Mercury and Neptune in early Virgo was
trine Saturn in Capricorn, this and a first house Mars in Gemini sextile his Leo Sun and his Uranus

The fast moving but decelerating waxing Moon is in Capricorn, and is under pressure
whilst in this sign. All day she applies in opposition to Venus, which consumates early tomorrow,
and then she goes on to square Saturn.
The Full Moon peaks on Friday afternoon (GMT).
Mercury is a direct 'morning star' in Leo recovering from his recent retrograde motion.
Mercury is back up to speed and is now in new territory.
He remains in Leo up to September 1st. Mercury is in Superior Conjunction
with the Sun on September 10th. He is next retrograde November 6th to 25th.
Venus is now an accelerating direct 'morning star' in Cancer. On September 3rd she
makes a dispiriting square to Saturn and trines the lunar node on September 6th. On
that day she enters Leo.

Tropical Storm Isaac is likely to hit the US Gulf Coast with hurricane force, forecasters
say, seven years after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. Katrina occurred under very
heavy astrological indications. (See the Daze 2005). The situation now is not as bad,

This Full Moon is midway between the Partial Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius
on June 4th, and the Penumbral Lunar Eclipse in Gemini on Nov 28th.
This the 2nd Full Moon in August 2012, often referred to as a 'blue moon'.
The Full Moon is conjunct Chiron in Pisces and sextile Pluto and trine Mars.
We have some symbolism here of forceful storms and big ocean waves.
Mercury is applying to oppose Neptune and Venus is applying square
Saturn, so tensions are on the increase.
The message of the lunation could be 'surrendering to titanic forces'.
At the moment of Full Moon, 13:59 GMT, it is Moonrise over the eastern
Iran border, Saturn rises at Port-au-Prince, and at Lima. Saturn culminates
at Kinshasa and sets at Singapore. Jupiter rises Wellington New Zealand
and sets at Lisbon.
Today's Full Moon tightly and directly hits the natal Saturn of Jack Charlton,
the natal Jupiters of Leonardo Dicaprio, and Lady Gaga, the natal Mercury
of William Haig, and the natal Uranus of Haiti, (Port-au prince has been
already mentioned). The Full Moon is a degree from the natal Uranus of
Prince Philip. It is a couple of degrees from Mit Romney's natal Mars, which
might be an aggravation to him, and is trine Barack Obama's Neptune but opposite
his Pluto.
Today is the birthday of Richard Gere (62) and Van Morrison (66).
After the Full Moon moment has past, the decelerating Moon applies in
a wasteful square to Jupiter, which occurs early tomorrow.

Mercury cuts through Virgo in just 16 days. Currently a morning 'star' he is
immediately embroiled in a confusing debacle, squaring the lunar node and
opposing Neptune today. It quickly passes. Mercury trines Pluto on Sept 4th,
sextiles Mars on Sept 5th and squares Jupiter in a 'can't see the wood for the
trees' aspect on Sept 9th. Mercury is at Superior Conjunction with the Sun
at 18 Virgo on Sept 10th. He then sextiles the lunar node and 'cap in hand'
enters Libra on Sept 16th.

this year, a Partial Lunar Eclipse April 25th 2013, an Annular/Total Eclipse
on Nov 11th 2013 and a final Partial Lunar Eclipse on Oct 23rd 2014.
Eclipses in Scorpio invoke great emotional purges of the soul.
Two waves now building, Venus is about to square Saturn, a fair measure of melancholia in its tow,
secondly Mars in Scorpio is about to sextile Pluto, a lurch for the jugular.

DOUBLE ASTEROID FLYBY: A pair of big, near-Earth asteroids will fly by the Earth-Moon system on Sept. 14th.
2012 QG42 is a 300-meter space rock that comes from the inner asteroid belt; it will pass 2.8 million km
(7.4 lunar distances) from Earth. 2012 QC8 is even bigger, about 1.1 km in diameter, hailing from the
e vicinity of Jupiter; it will pass about 8.7 million km (22.7 lunar distances) from Earth.
Astronomers monitoring the incoming space rocks say they are glowing like 14th to 15th
magnitude stars, which makes them good targets for advanced amateur telescopes.
Ephemerides: 2012 QG42, 2012 QC8.
EXPLOSION ON JUPITER: Apparently, something hit Jupiter during the early hours of Sept. 10th
(11:35 UT), igniting a ferocious fireball in the giant planet's cloudtops. Amateur astronomer
Dan Peterson Racine, Wisconsin, saw it first through his Meade 12" LX200 telescope.
"It was a bright white flash that lasted only 1.5 - 2 seconds," he reports.
Andy Murray ended Britain's 76-year wait for a male Grand Slam
singles champion with victory over Novak Djokovic in the US Open final.
Curiously transiting Saturn is opposite Andy's natal Venus this week. It seems
that sheer determination has won the day here. These two planets were in
'harmonious competitive fire trine' at his birth. Transiting Pluto is also conjunct his natal
Neptune this Autumn, transforming his dream into reality.
In the wider world Chinese state media said two patrol ships had been sent to islands
disputed with Japan, which has just completed a deal to buy the islands. Transiting
Uranus and Pluto are afflicting the Chinese natal Sun this Autumn. Their economy is
slowing down too.

spreads through the Muslim world and beyond. Thousands of demonstrators stormed
the US, German and British embassies in Sudan, Tunisia and elsewhere as protests rage
over a film made in the US that mocks Islam. Transiting Saturn is square Pluto in
the USA chart.

Today's New Moon occurs amid protests in the Middle East and north Africa
over an anti-Islam film made in the US. Astrologically the key signature seems to be
the looming the 2nd exact hit of Uranus square Pluto which occurs next Wednesday.
New Moon in Virgo 02 12 conjunct Mercury
http://kellysurteesastrology.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/gem-symb.jpg
Today's New Moon is the 4th New Moon following the Annular Solar Eclipse
on May 20th in Gemini and the penultimate New Moon before the Total Solar
Eclipse on November 13th 2012 in Scorpio.
Today's New Moon in Virgo is conjunct Mercury, so this is a time for new
starts, new communications and new ideas. Uranus is square Pluto, of course,
Saturn is starting to trine Neptune, Venus separates from a trine to Uranus and
applies in square to Mars. We have an eminently practical and careful vibration
on our hands. Dextrous decision making based on realism is the order of the
day.
At the moment of New Moon today, 02:12 GMT, the Sun and Moon are shortly
to rise at Tehran, and over Saudi Arabia. There is an exact paran at Singapore of
Venus and Mars. Uranus is culminating at Reykjavik, the Moon culminates at Richmond
Australia, Mars rises at Saigon and the Sun sets at San Francisco.
Today is the birthday of time twins boxer Mickey Rourke and singer Maggie Reilly
who are both 56 today. Yesterday was the birthday of comedian Jimmy Carr,
who is now 40.
After the New Moon moment has passed the infant 'Moonling' is conjunct Mercury 11 27 becoming void
The Moon then sextiles her nodes 11 39
The Moon enters Libra 12 56
Mercury sextiles the lunar node 13 04
Mars waxing quincunx Jupiter 17 25.
Now Mars is up to full speed, we can look forward to the
next conjunction of these two planets in the summer of 2013
on the far side of the Sun, in Cancer, on the day of the Super
Full Moon in Aquarius, July 22nd 2013.
Their opposition is October 28th 2012. Today's aspect however
is fraught with a wilful intensity. Care required.
Mercury enters Libra 23 23, joining Saturn in that sign.
Mercury resides in Libra for a sweet but dithery 19 days.
The troublesome period is September 20th and 21st when
he opposes Uranus and squares Pluto. On September 28th he trines
Jupiter, and he is conjunct Saturn on October 5th. He enters Scorpio
that same day, and immediately water trines Neptune.
He is retrograde November 6th to 25th.

70 days to a penumbral lunar eclipse in Gemini and 95 days to the Solstice.
The Moon, Mercury and Saturn are in Libra.
Mercury is a direct 'evening star' in Libra.The troublesome period is
September 20th and 21st when he opposes Uranus and squares Pluto.
On September 28th he trines Jupiter, and he is conjunct Saturn on October 5th.
He enters Scorpio that same day, and immediately water trines Neptune.
He is retrograde November 6th to 25th.
Venus is now an accelerating direct 'morning star' in Leo.
Venus sextiles Jupiter on September 21st ,squares Mars on September 27th, squares the
lunar node on Sept 30th and sextiles Saturn on October 3rd. She enters Virgo on that day
immediately opposing Neptune.
Mars is in Scorpio . Mars is squared by Venus in Leo
on September 27th. Mars is conjunct the lunar node on October 4th, Saturn
enters Scorpio on October 5th, and Mars enters Sagittarius on October 10th.
Uranus and Pluto will undergo their square aspect on Wednesday, that
will be the 2nd hit of 7.
So the week ahead sees a troublesome few days from Wednesday ahead as
Mercury forms a tight and tough planetary T-square with Uranus and Pluto.The Sun will
pass over the same degree area with greater import towards the end of September.

president's natal Venus for the 3rd and final time last Friday. I had wondered if the
transit would herald the beginning of the end for Bashar al Assasd's regime. Jupiter

Autumn Equinox

http://fineartamerica.com/featured/autumnal-equinox-ernestine-grindal.html
The Sun crosses the equator at 14:50:15 GMT, the Sun enters Libra and the
winter half of the year commences in the northern hemisphere.
On this important day Uranus and Pluto are in tight square aspect, wreaking
financial and social turmoil on the global village. The Moon approaching first
quarter is in optimistic Sagittarius, applies in sextile to Saturn. The Sun, Mercury
and Saturn are in Libra, Mars and the lunar node are in Scorpio. Air signs have
the edge, there is a lack of planets in Earth signs. Venus is in square aspect to Mars
but Saturn slowly applies in trine to Neptune.
Amid tottering finances there is some hope. Amid many words and much indecision
there is the first hint of a plan. The time is not easy, there are strains on relationships,
there is vengefulness and misplaced loyalty. Only the Moon looks on the bright side
and therein lies the key to this equinox.
At the moment of equinox the Sun, fittingly, sets at Baghdad and at Mogadishu.
Pluto significantly rises over Scotland and Ireland. Mars culminates at Paris. Neptune
rises at Odessa, where there is a paran with Jupiter, and at Istanbul. Jupiter is at
lower culmination at Harare, Mercury is about to set Pluto culminate at Tehran. Pluto
is shortly to set at Seoul and at Brisbane.

skies during late 2013. With a perihelion passage of less than two million kilometres
from the Sun in November 2013, current predictions are of an object that will dazzle

Moon (in the 1975 Spanish chart) is conjunct her progressed Venus, in late
Scorpio, today, exactly. The focus is on money. Saturn shortly to enter Scorpio
will be conjunct her natal Uranus in November. Trial and tribulation ahead.
Today a burdensome gibbous waxing and decelerating Moon in Pisces squares
Jupiter 11 31. That is the only aspect today. Its all 'full and flat'.
A powerful astrological wave is about to break on the shores of the global village.

Comet Ison
BIG SUN-DIVING COMET DISCOVERED: Astronomy forums are buzzing with
speculation about newly-discovered Comet C/2012 S1 (ISON). Currently located
beyond the orbit of Jupiter, Comet ISON is heading for a very close encounter with
the sun next year. In Nov. 2013, it will pass less than 0.012 AU (1.8 million km) from
the solar surface. The fierce heating it experiences then could turn the comet into a bright
naked-eye object. Currently the comet is positioned on the Cancer- Leo cusp in the
tropical zodiac, and is square Saturn.

This Full Moon is the 4th Full Moon following the Partial Lunar Eclipse in
Sagittarius on June 4th, and the penultimate Full moon before the Penumbral
Lunar Eclipse in Gemini on Nov 28th.
The Moon is slow.
This Full Moon in Aries, the 'Harvest Moon' , is in dynamic cardinal T-square with
Pluto and Uranus. This planetary T-square may well serve to 'bring to a head' current
financial and social dilemmas. This lunation has a wealth of cardinal energy. It will 'generate'
situations, events and experiences. This full moon will ignite and inflame. Venus is under
pressure being square Mars, sextile Saturn and opposite Neptune. Finance and association
are the major themes. Bewilderment the response. This is not a practical time.
At the time of the Full Moon, the Sun, Moon, Pluto and Uranus are aligned to Syria, Korea,
Ethiopia, Kenya and French Guiana. Jupiter culminates at Vienna, Pluto is at lower culmination
at Moscow. Pluto sets at Boston and at Rio. Jupiter rises at Buenos Aires.
Some 17 hours after the Full Moon moment the Moon sextiles Jupiter 20 41,

gunmen in Mubi, north-eastern Nigeria. The Full Moon on Sunday was opposite
the country's natal Sun and appears to have set off the Uranus Pluto square which
has been afflicting this natal Sun position for most of the year.
Today the slow, decelerating, waning, still 'hung over' fullish moon
remains in Taurus. It's just like yesterday but even slower.
Today is dominated by this sluggish Moon and a confused opposition
of Venus and Neptune which intensifies as the day progresses.
Love and confusion in equal measure, and as always with Venus
afflictions, watch the markets!

Yesterday after skirmishes on their mutual border Turkey's PM said his country
has no intention of starting a war, after the parliament in Ankara authorized
military action inside Syria. Mixed messages here. The situation looks very
precarious. By the time Saturn has completed his transit through Scorpio
in the Autumn of 2015, the situation in Syria will no doubt be transformed.
By October 18th 2012 Saturn will have reached the natal Venus of the Syrian
independence chart. Deeper crisis and a glimpse of resolution may be the reality
by then.
A momentous day is in store today as Mercury and Saturn stride together into Scorpio.
The Moon graces the event as she occults Jupiter.
Today has a deliberate thinking, fast talking, fast moving buzz.

Saturn will reside in Scorpio until the end of 2014 when he first moves into Sagittarius. He will
finally leave Scorpio in September 2015. Saturn's time in Scorpio is essentially a positive one.
There are always lessons in 'the control of personal power' and in 'coping with loss' to be learnt
with Saturn in Scorpio, but these next few years can be looked on as 'stabilizing times'.
During his residence in Scorpio Saturn trines Neptune in Pisces on Oct 11th 2012, June 12th 2013
and finally on July 19th 2013. This trine 'cements the vision' and creates art forms.
Saturn is sextile Pluto in Capricorn on Dec 27th 2012, March 8th 2013 and Sept 21st 2013. This one
strengthens and impels, giving power and structure to events.
Saturn is conjunct the lunar node at 8 degrees Scorpio on September 17th 2013.
This conjunction occurs every 11 years. It last occurred in June 2012, in Gemini,
when Kashmir tensions were engulfing India and Pakistan. It last occurred in Scorpio
in October 1956 in pre-Suez Crisis days.
Saturn is water trined by Jupiter in 2013 on July 17th, Dec 13th and in 2014 on May 24th.
These are positive vibration times, both constructive and formative.
Jupiter squares Saturn from Leo on August 3rd 2015.
During the time of Saturn in Scorpio the Moon every month will be conjunct Saturn with
increasing intensity as each monthly pass appears closer and closer. The phenomenon
peaks in September and October 2014. A lunar occultation of Saturn by the Moon occurs
on October 25th 2014 centered on Europe.
Saturn finally leaves Scorpio on September 18th 2015, for a bumpier ride through Sagittarius.
Mars is in Scorpio with Mercury and Saturn for just 2 days.

Saturn is about to make a positive trine aspect to Neptune. Its all
about art forms and emotional expression in physical forms. An
imaginative and creative aspect this.
Comet Ison
A new comet has been discovered that is predicted to blaze incredibly brilliantly in
the skies during late 2013. With a perihelion passage of less than two million
kilometers from the Sun in November 2013, current predictions are of an object
that will dazzle the eye at up to magnitude —16. That's far brighter than the full Moon.
Today comet Ison is at zero degrees 28 minutes Leo, in the tropical zodiac, square Saturn.

This is the first instance of three of this positive aspect, over the next
nine months. The other two are on June 12th 2013 and July 19th 2013.
This is the waning trine phase of the Saturn Neptune cycle which started
in 1989 in Capricorn and ends in Feb 2026 in Aries. The Saturn Neptune
cycle is a dance between Saturn's 'need' to make real, and Neptune's role
to mystify, enchant, and dissolve. The current waning trine allows emotions
from the deep subconscious to emerge and make form. The result can be
creative artistic expression, and music. A new wave even.
The quickening waning Moon, void of course for most of this day,
squares her nodal axis 15 40. Expectation is low as to what can be achieved.

The Turkey/Syrian relationship chart has Neptune opposite natal Venus
during this month casting a chaotic gleam on the intercourse between
these two countries. Pluto is square the Turkish natal Mars as the month ends,
we can expect further proactive activity from Turkey.
Today the Moon and Venus are in Virgo, Mercury and Saturn are in Scorpio.

ever skydive by jumping out of a balloon 128,000ft (39km) above New Mexico.
He was born on April 20th 1969 and has a birthchart with a preponderance of
earth and fire signs. A young gemini Moon, a daring sagittarian Mars, and a careful
cluster in Virgo graced the skies that day. Right now the transiting lunar node is
conjunct his natal Neptune and sextile natal Jupiter. Saturn newly arrived in Scorpio
has just passed the opposition to his natal Taurus Sun.
Turkey has banned Syrian civilian flights over its territory, as tensions between the

Today's New Moon is the 5th New Moon following the Annular Solar Eclipse
on May 20th in Gemini and the ultimate New Moon before the Total Solar
Eclipse on November 13th 2012 in Scorpio. With its passing we once again enter
the 'foothills' of another eclipse season.
At the time of this New Moon in Libra, Mars is tightly trine Uranus, Mercury applies
in sextile to Mars and Venus applies in square aspect to Jupiter. The New Moon
itself is quintile Pluto and conjunct the fixed star Spica. This is a bit special.
At the exact moment of New Moon. 12:04 GMT today, the Sun and Moon are rising
at New Orleans. They are culminating over south western England, Spain and
north west Africa. The Moon is setting at New Delhi and the Sun and Moon are
at lower culmination at Wellington. Mars culminates at Moscow and over Syria.
Neptune sets at Baghdad, Neptune culminates at Seoul, Mars sets at Manila.
This New Moon directly hits the natal Mars of Kim Basinger, the natal Mercury of Cherie Blair
and the natal Saturn Neptune conjunction of Tony Blair, Jupiter in the Syrian Independence
chart and in the Iraq republic chart, Uranus in the Japan chart and natal Saturn in the chart
of Kate Middleton.
State of the sky:-The Sun reaches 23 degrees Libra. We are in a new eclipse season.
There are 29 days to a Total Solar Eclipse in Scorpio, 43 days to a Penumbral Lunar Eclipse in
Gemini and 66 days to the Solstice.
Mercury and Saturn are in Scorpio.
Mercury is a direct 'evening star' in Scorpio, and is
once again approaching his station within 3 weeks.
Mercury is retrograde November 6th to 25th.
Prior to this he reaches repeatable territory on October
19th, and slows to a geocentric speed less than a degree
per day by October 27th.

Friday's car bombing in Lebanon has left three people dead.
More than 80 people were wounded. The blast occurred in a
busy street in Beirut's mainly Christian district of Ashrafiya,
creating widespread destruction. No group has said it carried
out the attack. Mr Hassan - described by officials as the main target -
had close links with opposition leader Saad Hariri, a leading critic of
the government in neighboring Syria. It appears that Lebanon is being
sucked into the Syrian Conflict. Astrologically, transiting Jupiter hovering on the
Lebanese Saturn Uranus midpoint seems to have escalated a tense situation.

This opposition occurs as the Full Moon approaches her climax.
Very much a 'full on' weekend.

Venus as a morning star resides in Libra for only 24 sweet days.
At first this potentially charming combination turns sour because
from the 1st to 3rd of November, Venus forms a planetary
T-square with the ongoing Uranus Pluto square. This will
be a testing time for all human relationships and for finance.
Venus trines Jupiter on Nov 9th, which promotes benevolence
and peace keeping. Venus enters Scorpio on November 22nd.
Up until November 17th Venus in Libra
is complemented by Mars in Sagittarius, a good omen for
complimentary relationships between men and women.
The USA election on November 6th and the Total Solar Eclipse
in Scorpio on November 13th both occur as Venus glides through
Libra and Mars burns through Sagittarius. A colorful season!

State of the sky:-The Sun reaches 7 degrees Scorpio We are in eclipse season.
There are 15 days to a Total Solar Eclipse in Scorpio, 29 days to a Penumbral Lunar Eclipse in
Gemini and 52 days to the Solstice.
The Moon is Full today.
Mercury is a direct 'evening star' in Scorpio, entering Sagittarius
today and is once again approaching his station within the week.
Mercury is retrograde November 6th to 25th. He is already
in repeatable territory, and has slowed to a geocentric speed
less than a degree per day.
Venus is in Libra.
Mars is in Sagittarius. He enters Capricorn
on November 17th. Mars in Sagittarius is free wheeling.
Comet Ison
A new comet has been discovered that is predicted to blaze incredibly brilliantly in
the skies during late 2013. With a perihelion passage of less than two million
kilometers from the Sun in November 2013, current predictions are of an object
that will dazzle the eye at up to magnitude —16. That's far brighter than the full Moon.
Today comet Ison is at 1 degree Leo, in the tropical zodiac, square Saturn
quincunx Neptune and trine Mercury.
The Moon enters Taurus 06 16
Mercury enters Sagittarius 06 19
His retrograde phase occurs here. Mercury turns retrograde at 4 Sagittarius
on November 6th, the day of the USA election, remaining retrograde to Nov 25th,
being in square to Neptune from today right up to the day after the Total Solar Eclipse,
November 14th when he re-enters Scorpio. On Nov 17th he is conjunct the
lunar node and at Inferior Conjunction with the Sun at 25 degrees Scorpio
and he turns direct again on Nov 26th at 18 Scorpio. Mercury re-enters
Sagittarius on Dec 11th, squaring Neptune a final time on that day. He trines
Uranus on Dec 14th, and opposes Jupiter on Dec 17th. Mercury finally enters
Capricorn on New Years Eve. We once again, as in 2004, have the inevitability
of great confusion around the time of an election in the USA.

DEMON MOON!
This Full Moon is the 5th Full Moon following the Partial Lunar Eclipse in
Sagittarius on June 4th, and the ultimate Full moon before the Penumbral
Lunar Eclipse in Gemini on Nov 28th.
At this time Mercury is tightly square Neptune, which symbolises intoxication,
Mars is opposite Jupiter which symbolises excessive force, and Mercury is sextile Venus
which symbolises merriment. The Full Moon herself is trine Pluto and sextile Chiron and
loosely opposite Saturn. This Full Moon is wilful.
At the moment of Full Moon the Sun, Moon and Saturn are focused on Iran. The Moon
is culminating over the horn of Arabia, and is at lower culmination at Shanghai, at Taipei and
at Manila. The Moon is at lower combination at San Francisco and at Seattle. Uranus rises
at the Malvinas. At London the Moon is conjunct the local ascendant/mid heaven midpoint,
a note of significance is sounded there as Neptune culminates over the UK, and at Madrid.
With the passing of this Full Moon
we are now in the fury of an eclipse season
season.
After the Full Moon climax the Moon trines Pluto 21 03 becoming void.

Last Monday, as the Halloween Full Moon climaxed, Mercury squared Neptune,
and a Mars Jupiter opposition in full fury, dominated the skies, Hurricane Sandy
started to bombard the US eastern seaboard, bringing to a halt both US presidential
campaign trails. In the UK under less turbulent metrology but of course the
same astrology, the Jimmy Saville ghost story gripped the airways. Saturn's
arrival in Scorpio seems to have coincided with this issue which has hit the
UK collective psyche hard.
We are deep in eclipse season with further Scorpionic energy abounding
as a Total Solar Eclipse in that sign occurs in 11 days time. Venus is in tight
cardinal planetary T-square with Uranus and Pluto. Furthermore Mercury
is about to turn retrograde, square Neptune. All of this occurs as a USA election

Six Gulf states have recognised a new Syrian opposition coalition as
the country's "legitimate representative". The National Coalition for Syrian
Revolutionary and Opposition Forces was unveiled in Doha on Sunday,
aimed at uniting the various factions seeking to overthrow President
Bashar al-Assad. This alliance is in keeping with the nature of the Saros
Series to which today's eclipse belongs. Please see 'Solar Saros 133' below.

Solar Saros 133
The chart above is set for maximum eclipse of the first eclipse of Saros series 133
to which today's eclipse belongs. Today's eclipse is number 45 of 72. Solar Saros
133 has an intensely cancerian quality. The eclipsed Sun is conjunct Mercury
sextile Mars and square Neptune. Venus trines Uranus, Neptune trines Pluto.
This saros has a homely feel to it, it evokes a protective and careful motivation
seeking to protect the home nation by forming alliances and pacts with others
for mutual benefit. Some of these pacts are ungodly as in the case of the tri-partite
pact between Germany, Japan and Italy on October 1st 1940, the day of a Total
Solar Eclipse 4 eclipses ago in this series. An Anglo tibetan pact in Sept 1904, 6
eclipses ago, Hungary joining the league of nations in September 1922, 5 eclipses ago..
Other quite quirky events, in Nov 1994 the UK criminal justice public order act was
passed in the UK, banning raves and public gatherings, in order to preserve the peace!
The rise of the Sex Pistols, the start of Microsoft, and Jimmy Carter becoming president
all occurred at the time of the total solar eclipse Oct 1976. The first edition of 'Blue Peter'
and the birth of NASA in Oct 1958. Not such a bad Saros this.
Today's eclipse directly impacts on the natal Sun of Prince Charles of Britain and the natal
Sun of the BBC. It trines the natal Sun of Mitt Romney, granting some relief to him.
It sextiles the natal Mars of Barack Obama, granting him some agitation.
It also hits the natal Mercury of Hilary Clinton, John Cleese and Geoffrey Boycott,
the natal Venus (and Saturn) of BIll Gates, and Lindsey Buckingham, the natal Mars
(and Neptune) of Michael Gove, and of Sudan, the natal Jupiter of David Bowie,
the natal Uranus of Kevin Pieterson and Venus Williams, and the natal Neptune of Nick Clegg,
David Cameron, and the natal Midheaven of the UK Conservative Party.
Mercury is retrograding and heavily square Neptune as the day ends veiling and distorting
the true nature of today's eclipse.

Today starts with some weird astronomical and astrological phenomena.
Some of this is related to the eclipse geometry of the Moon.
Strong geocentric planetary 11th harmonic operative around 00 00
This 11th harmonic relates to the positions of the Sun. Moon Venus and Neptune, forming
an 11th harmonic conjunction in the first 10 degrees of Taurus. This harmonic refers to
'social consciousness'.

Israel was the main news yesterday. The head of the military wing of the Palestinian
Islamist group Hamas, Ahmed Said Khalil al-Jabari, was killed during a series of Israeli
air strikes in the Gaza Strip. As reported on Monday, Uranus is about to square the
Israeli natal Venus. Mars was conjunct her natal Jupiter yesterday and the Solar Eclipse
on Tuesday was conjunct Israel' Chiron and opposite her natal Sun. Much strain and stress
all round.
Also yesterday tens of thousands of workers staged protests and strikes across Europe
against rising unemployment and austerity measures.
Today the rapidly waxing but decelerating young Moon in Sagittarius
makes an opposition to Jupiter in Gemini 08 26

We are in the depths of an eclipse fortnight. Mercury is retrograde. The astrological

and there are changes ahead. Stay tuned to the Daze.

he has Sun Jupiter Mercury and Mars in Gemini, with the later two strongly trine Saturn
in Libra. His Moon is in Capricorn. Articulate and organised to the nth degree.
Today is another curiously astrologically eventful day between eclipses.
Strong geocentric planetary 11th harmonic operative 16th to 18th Nov 2012
The 11th harmonic positions of 6 planets and Chiron form an impressive stellium in Gemini over
these three days. We are dealing with 'social consciousness' and communication. Subtle
evolutionary forces at work.
Saturn waning quincunx Uranus 00 27
This is the first of three hits of this fateful aspect. The other two are next year on April 13th and
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

Mars is in Capricorn for 39 days. He sextiles Neptune today, squares
Uranus, a dangerous mix, on Nov 23rd and is conjunct Pluto on 27th

with Israel hitting 200 sites in Gaza, including PM Ismail Haniya's office. Its
all getting very serious. Mars getting stuck into Capricorn has gotten the
ground war tanks into position, Venus in Libra whispers words of truce.
The Moon, Mars and Pluto are in Capricorn.
Egypt's transport minister resigned after 50 children and a driver were killed
in a crash involving a nursery school bus and a train. Egypt's progressed Moon
was exactly quincunx progressed Pluto yesterday as this terrible event occurred,
these two bodies are in difficult square aspect in the Egyptian chart.

State of the sky:- The Sun today reaches 28 degrees Scorpio and is square
Neptune on Thursday.We are deeply in an eclipse fortnight. There are
8 days to Penumbral Lunar Eclipse in Gemini and 32 days to the Solstice.
Fixed and water signs predominate right now.
Mars is applying to Pluto, 7 degrees separate them today.
Venus is applying to Saturn, 9 degrees separate them. Both conjunctions
reach exactitude in 8 days time on November 27th.
The fast but decelerating Moon approaching first quarter is trine Jupiter 10 49

He is a now a ''morning star' in Scorpio. He turns direct on Nov 26th at 18 Scorpio.
Mercury re-enters Sagittarius on Dec 11th, squaring Neptune a final time on that
day. He trines Uranus on Dec 14th, and opposes Jupiter on Dec 17th. Mercury
finally enters Capricorn on New Years Eve.
Venus is a also a morning star, but is in Libra. Venus enters Scorpio on November 22nd.
Mars is in Capricorn. Mars squares Uranus, a dangerous mix, on Nov 23rd
and is conjunct Pluto on 27th Nov. This one is the significant 'nuclear engine'

Comet Ison
A new comet has been discovered that is predicted to blaze incredibly brilliantly in
the skies during late 2013. With a perihelion passage of less than two million
kilometers from the Sun in November 2013, current predictions are of an object
that will dazzle the eye at up to magnitude —16. That's far brighter than the full Moon.
Right now comet Ison is retrograding on the Leo Cancer cusp in the tropical zodiac.

a clothes factory on the outskirts of Bangladesh's capital,
Dhaka. Five people died when a bomb exploded near a Shia
procession in Dera Ismail Khan in Pakistan, a day after eight
died in a similar attack. Two suicide bombers targeted a church
inside an army barracks in Kaduna state, northern Nigeria, killing
11 people and injuring 30.

penumbral lunar eclipse and full moon.

Timings of the eclipse.
Penumbral phase starts 12:14:58
Maximum eclipse 14:33:00
Penumbral eclipse ends 16:51:02
At the time of this minor penumbral lunar eclipse in Gemini, Venus sextiles Pluto, Mars is conjunct Pluto,
Venus is sextile Mars and conjunct Saturn. The eclipsed Moon sextiles Uranus and applies in conjunction
to Jupiter. Mars sextiles Saturn and of course underlying all these aspects, Uranus continues to square
Pluto. In addition the eclipsed Moon today falls opposite the Saturn/Pluto midpoint.
The timing of this eclipse is coloured most significantly by robust planetary placements. Although the eclipse
itself is astronomically a minor affair, only a light shading of the lunar disc will be observable, astrologically
the situation is pertinent. Events will be precipitated from its effect. The day is vibrant and oscillatory.
There are strong astrological suggestions of explosive events and portents of some shocks and bolts.
The Moon is slow, full and distant, being almost exactly at apogee.
Lunar Saros 145.
Today’s partial lunar eclipse is the 11th member of the 71 eclipses of the Moon which make up Lunar
Saros 145. This Saros is still in its childhood, having started on August 11th 1832. The series
peaks in the year 2427 with the longest Total Lunar Eclipse and ends in 3094.
This saros chart is a volcanic furnace. A preponderance of fixed
earth and fire astrological energy surrounds an eclipsed Moon in Aquarius separating
from a visionary conjunction with Uranus, square an insistent Mars and opposite a
prima donna Venus. Mars is tightly square Uranus in tense independence. This chart
exudes larva. So today's eclipse belongs to a Saros series, still in its infancy, but of
strong and defiant power.
At the exact moment of central eclipse today some flash points in the world are starred. Mars
and Pluto align to Ireland, Faroe Isles, Portugal, West Spain, Morocco, Ivory Coast, Mali and
Mauritania. Venus and Saturn align to Belgium, eastern France, Tunisia and Libya.
The Moon is rising at Bucharest, Nicosia, Istanbul, and Jerusalem. The Moon culminates at
Adelaide, the Moon sets at Los Angeles, Jupiter is rising at Oslo, over the Gaza Strip, at Mecca
and at Aleppo Syria. Uranus culminates at Hyderabad. Neptune sets at Seoul, and Mars rises
at Washington DC. Its maelstrom !
Today’s eclipse directly hits the natal Moon of the Iran (1979 revolutionary chart), the natal Uranus of
the Lebanon, and the natal Sun of Morocco.
Take the sting, survive and enjoy the eclipse.
The next lunar eclipse is a partial eclipse of the Moon on April 25th 2013 in Scorpio.
The next Total Lunar Eclipse is on October 8th 2014 in Aries, 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, a 'must experience' night trip agenda item. Pencil it in.

Mars quincunx Jupiter 02 43 forming a powerful
finger of fate with Venus. Actually two such patterns
are operative right now.
A strong and long lasting finger of fate involving Saturn sextile Pluto
quincunx Jupiter is also building up. This lasts well into January 2013.
Jupiter is the focus of both these patterns. Social consciousness, social reform and social
justice are all in sharp focus right now.

Egypt's Supreme Constitutional Court has halted all work indefinitely
and is complaining of "psychological pressure", following Islamist protests.
Right now transiting Jupiter is setting off the tight Mars square Uranus
in the Egyptian chart forming a T-square with the said pair. Always
the potential for flare ups in Egypt, such as is occurring now.

State of the sky:- The Sun today reaches 12 degrees Sagittarius and is
opposite Jupiter.
We are pulling out of an eclipse season and we are 18 days from the Solstice.
Water signs predominate right now. Mercury, Venus and the lunar node are in Scorpio.
Mercury is a direct morning star in Scorpio. He is back up to speed at 1 degree
per day by Dec 5th after his recent retrograde motion. Mercury re-enters Sagittarius
on Dec 11th, squaring Neptune a final time on that day. He trines Uranus on Dec 14th,
entering new territory that day, and opposes Jupiter on Dec 17th. Mercury finally enters
Capricorn on New Years Eve.
Venus is also a morning star in Scorpio and is conjunct the lunar node at 25 Scorpio
on Dec 11th. Venus enters Sagittarius on December 16th.
Mars is in Capricorn. Mars sextiles the lunar node on Dec 18th and enters Aquarius
on Dec 26th.
Comet Ison
A new comet has been discovered that is predicted to blaze incredibly brilliantly in
the skies during late 2013. With a perihelion passage of less than two million
kilometers from the Sun in November 2013, current predictions are of an object
that will dazzle the eye at up to magnitude —16. That's far brighter than the full Moon.
Right now comet Ison is retrograding on the Leo Cancer cusp in the tropical zodiac.
An 'astrologically quiet' week will follow.

The main UK news continues to concern the matter of the Duchess of Cambridge
expecting a baby and being in hospital with morning sickness. Prince William is and will be
astrologically buoyed up with transiting Jupiter conjunctions with 1) his natal Mercury this
month, and in March 2013, 2) his natal cancerian Sun in June next year, and 3) his natal
Moon in July. This last transit points nicely to family and birthing matters.
Kate however has transiting Saturn conjunct natal Jupiter and square natal Venus
later this week. Pressures are on for her. This is no easy pregnancy. Pluto squares both their
natal Mars' early next year. Transiting Uranus opposes her natal Mars early May.
Today the void of course accelerating waning Moon, starting the day in Leo,

Saturday 8 December 2012
Both Kate Middleton and Prince William were born on days when
eclipses took place. William was born on June 21st 1982 some 8 hours
after a partial solar eclipse. Kate was born Jan 9th 1982 some 5 hours
before the start of a (memorable) total lunar eclipse in Cancer. The
combined 'weird' energy of these eclipses has and will materialise from
time to time in their lives. A 'high destiny' is at work here. The tragic news
story yesterday of the death of a 'royal nurse' at the King Edward 7th hospital
where Kate was a patient earlier this week is indicative of this 'strange' eclipse
energy.
We are of course currently in the aftermath of a lunar eclipse some 10 days ago.
Without too much investigation I would assert that all these events are bound
together. One can only express both awe and sadness at this rather bizarre story.

On this lunar 'void of course' day, the month long 'finger of fate' involving Saturn sextile Pluto
with Jupiter at the focus, tightens silently in the background. This planetary picture and the
forthcoming New Moon, on Thursday are the pertinent astrological factors at work now.
The Moon enters Scorpio 21 51 joining Mercury, Venus, Saturn and the lunar node there.

tomorrow. Venus enters Sagittarius on December 16th.
Mars is in Capricorn. Mars sextiles the lunar node on Dec 18th and enters Aquarius
on Dec 26th.
Comet Ison
Right now comet Ison is retrograding on the Leo Cancer cusp in the tropical zodiac.
The week ahead will see Mercury and the Moon tumbling like snow balls to join
the Sun into Sagittarius.
These changes are augmented by the 'truth will out' New Moon in Sagittarius

however as he squares Neptune, but on Dec 14th he enters 'new territory'
and trines Uranus. Mercury opposes Jupiter in Gemini on Dec 17th and

Today's New Moon is the first New Moon following the Total Solar Eclipse
on November 13th 2012 and the 5th New Moon before the Annular Solar
Eclipse in Taurus on May 10th 2013.
The New Moon today makes no aspects but directly hits the Mercury/Pluto
midpoint. This is the 'truth will out' New Moon.
Mercury in truth seeking Sagittarius is trine Uranus.
Today's New Moon directly hits the natal Sun of Ted Nugent, Taylor Swift,
actress Paula Wilcox, Andrew Flintoff, and DJ Sarah Cox. All of these folk
have interesting new chapters starting in their lives. The ascendant of Egypt
is hit, fittingly enough for a country voting on a new constitution. The natal
Mars of Robert Mugabe and Prince Charles are hit, as is the natal Venus of
Judi Dench. The natal Moon Jupiter of Alice Cooper is hit. More serious
contact is made to the natal Saturn of Yasser Arafat, whose body has been
exhumed, and the natal Saturn of Iraq. The natal Uranus of Lady Gaga and
of Cuba, the natal Neptune of Iran and of Kevin Pieterson and the
lunar node of Cyrus Miley are all hit by this lunation.
At the moment of New Moon, the Moon rises at Buenos Aires, and culminates
at Al Kuwait. The Sun rises at Belfast and at Edinburgh. Mercury rises at La Paz,
Mars rises at Vienna and a Mars Venus Paran hits Warsaw. Saturn rises at Havana,
Jupiter rises at Alice Springs, Neptune rises over Syria and at Khartoum.
The Moon is void from the moment of New Moon, remaining that way all day
until the tiny infant Moon enters Capricorn 21 44, joining Mars and Pluto in
that sign.

at a primary school in the US state of Connecticut. The police arrived at the scene

the local prime meridian. Take a look at the 4th harmonic of this event, the Sun,
Saturn, and Neptune are globally in tight T-square arrangement, with the local MC

A transit of Mercury across the Sun as seen from Venus takes place today.
Naturally, no one has ever seen a transit of Mercury from Venus.
The Mercury-Venus synodic period is 144.5662 days.
The transit that occurred on March 22, 1894 was particularly interesting because on the 21st, when it began,
there were also transits of Venus and of Mercury visible from Saturn.
The dates of transits of Mercury in the life of 'the daze' are below.

US President Barack Obama wants to reinstate a ban on assault weapons,
the White House said yesterday, following the killings at a school in Newtown,
Connecticut. The National Rifle Association was founded on Nov 17th 1871
in Fairfax, Virginia. This chart is awash with fixed and cardinal energy, strong
to defend, quick to advance. There is no give here. The chart is currently under
duress from transiting Pluto square natal Venus and there is a progressed new
moon in Aries in 2014, but that looks more like a re-grouping and 'brush down'
after the knocks incurred between now and then.
Today has a dreamy quality. Its easy just to follow, just to flow along with the
collective mood. There is fun and excitement to be found with Venus trine Uranus
this evening (GMT).

WINTER SOLSTICE
Sun enters Capricorn 11 13
http://www.eilight.com/pages/solsticewinter.htm
December 21st, 2012 A.D., represents an extremely close conjunction of the
Winter Solstice Sun with the crossing point of the Galactic Equator (Equator of the Milky Way)
and the Ecliptic (path of the Sun), what that ancient Maya recognised as the Sacred Tree.
This is an event that has been coming to resonance very slowly over thousands and thousands
of years. This is the day to align your consciousness to the centre of the galaxy.
Saturn, Pluto and Jupiter stand in tight 'finger of fate', with the focus on Jupiter in Gemini.
Great movements towards social justice and universal communication are in full motion at this time.
The Moon applies in trine aspect to Mercury, the Sun sextiles Neptune, Venus trines Uranus, Jupiter
sextiles Uranus. This is a very positive set of aspects giving the world a glimmer of hope
for the year ahead from this solstice .
The Solstice moment is 11:12:43 GMT. Neptune in Pisces rises at london.
The Moon in Aries has just risen at Johannesburg, and is at lower culmination
at Caracas, where Pluto rises also. Venus and Jupiter lines straddle Karachi,
Mars culminates at Mecca, Mercury rises at Washington, Saturn rises at
San Francisco, culminates at Rio and sets over Syria. Uranus culminates
at Jakarta and at Hanoi, and is at lower culmination at New York.
The solstice Sun rises at Quito and sets at Perth, it is local noon at Florence.
The Moon in Aries 'waxing fire trine' Mercury 12 14, one minute later.
There are some good vibrations with this solstice .
The First Quarter Moon sheds useful light after Sunset.
An enchanting evening as the Sun applies in a sextile

World news has been on the quiet side, Egyptians are voting in the second leg
of a referendum on a new constitution and the west scrambles to prepare for
Syrian change of power, with concerns about serious stockpiles of chemical
weaponry.

Yesterday dozens of people were killed in an air strike on a bakery in the town of
Halfaya, in the central Syrian province of Hama. Saturn squares the Syrian Jupiter/Neptune
midpoint right now, which is thoroughly hard and crazy, Jupiter is conjunct the Syrian
Moon/Mars midpoint on Dec 30th which looks volatile. Syria's astrological future looks
very difficult in 2013.

Venus is also a morning star in Sagittarius. Venus enters Capricorn on Jan 9th 2013.
Mars is in Capricorn and enters Aquarius on Dec 26th.
Saturn is almost exactly sextile to Pluto right now and together they form a 'yod'

Right now comet Ison is retrograding, brightening slowly at 25.5 degrees Cancer

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 waning sextile aspect, the first of 3, precedes their
next conjunction in 2020 in Capricorn. The other two sextiles are on
March 8th 2013 and Sept 21st 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 particularly
relevant to what is happening in Syria.
Yesterday Syria's military police chief defected, saying the army has become
"gangs of murder", as reports emerged of deadly shelling in Raqqa province.

Today's Full Moon is the first Full Moon following the Penumbral Lunar Eclipse in
Gemini on Nov 28th 2012 and the 4th Full Moon before the Partial Lunar Eclipse
in Scorpio on April 25th 2013. With its passing we are finally out of the recent eclipse
season.
Today's Full Moon, square Uranus and opposite Pluto, is a robust affair and will probably
be difficult to negotiate. It is very much a sign of the times. The saving grace is that the Moon
is also trine Saturn. Practical and circumspect solutions to current economic woes could
manifest with the atmosphere surrounding this Full moon. Also Uranus is conjunct the Mars
Jupiter midpoint at this time. There is a visionary flash of future potentials and the materialisation
of a 'force majure'. The quality of the lunation is essentially emotional.
At the moment of Full Moon 10 22 GMT, Mars rises over Scotland, the Sun and Moon straddle
the MC of Tallinn, Neptune rises at Brussels, Mars culminates at Tehran, and a Venus Neptune
paran hits Toulouse
Today is the birthday of Edgar Winter, Nigel Kennedy, Denzel Washington, and Sienna Miller. All
of these folk may well have a climatic year ahead.
After the full moon the Moon opposes Pluto 14 35 bringing forth the worst aspect of this lunation.

Yesterday thousands of people across India held candlelit vigils to mourn the
victim of a gang-rape in Delhi who has died of her injuries. Transiting Saturn
is currently square the natal Moon/Pluto in the Indian independence chart and
Mars opposes natal Moon. There is a shadow and a compulsive impulse across
the collective mood there. India's young progressed Moon enters Capricorn
within the month and applies all year to a sextile with progressed Venus. The role
and status of women in India society is under great transformation.
Today is a day of autocratic responses, good for big time speculations.
