TITBITS OF ASTRO INFO - you won't want to miss

I've got a round-up of info for you with this post - which is perhaps an easier format for both of us. It saves you having to wade through a lengthy, one topic, article and allows me to convey all the titbits I have come across in recent days.

First off then; Valentines day is looming. I was interested to read that on February 14th, a few minutes after sunrise GMT, the Moon is in the seventh house (and in the sign of relationships, Libra) as Jupiter aligns with Mars (and the North Node). Could this be the 'Dawning of the age of Aquarius'?

Okay, I know Jupiter and Mars meet every few years and have met in Aquarius before, with Moon in Libra and/or the 7th house BUT Moon in Libra (7th) with Mars and Jupiter in AQ has happened only a couple of times since the 60's (18 Jan '98) and never with this heavy Aquarian line up and s0 close after Leo/Aquarius eclipses (next one 9th Feb) and a Saturn/Uranus line up (5th Feb).

Remember too Uranus, the ruler of Aquarius, is the sign of 'Awakening' and the realisation of possession of an individuated consciousness (UR) in an earthbound vehicle - the body (SA).

Plus, Comet Lulin is brightening overhead. Add in the fact that we are being catapulted towards the start of two new cycles - the JU/NE and JU/UR and that seems like quite a few hallmarks of a new 'Aquarian' era to me. Many thanks to Dr Jude Currivan PhD for pointing out the alignment of the 14th Feb. She says (with relation to the nodes being reversed but close to JU and MA in AQ in 1962):

In 1962 we essentially took a collective in-breath of possibility and now with the cosmic support of the Aquarian alignment of 14th February 2009 we are able to take the out-breath and make it happen.

and I just love the strap line on her site:

In the commonality of our humanity, we are all ordinary,
In the commonality of our divinity, we are all extraordinary

For those of you interested in finding if your 'amour' is your Soul Mate, I found a nice little article here, in which the author suggests using the asteroids Valentine, Eros. Amor, Union and Juno to determine 'Soulmate synastry' in astrological charts. Read the article through and then bring up the charts using this site or Astrodienst and input the following numbers for the asteroids (the numbers will be the same)
Eros ( 433)
Valentine (447)
Juno (3)
Amor (1221)
Union ( 1585)

I'm noticing a lot of ACG lines accumulating around Lisbon and up and down that line of longitude, so up into Western Ireland and down to Morocco and Western Africa. This may be related to ongoing negotiations pertaining to The Lisbon Treaty but it may not. Eyes and ears peeled over the next few weeks for any events in these areas, possibly related to SA/UR - breakdowns, breakthroughs, rebellion, unexpected etc

In my last post I mentioned that I thought things would start appearing relating to magnetism. I must be tuned in at the moment because within a day of writing that Hay House sent me advice of a new book and in the review for the book it says:

The powers of magnetism are not as mystical as you might think. You can learn to switch your energy like flipping a switch on an electrical current, changing the very direction of your life. Every single day you can establish a new, consistently positive life force—one that will propel your intentions with focus, optimism, and personal power.

The world exists in a constant state of flow, and your consciousness can shift in the blink of an eye.

Hot on the heels of that popping into my inbox I was 'coincidentally' led to i.e., I wasn't consciously seeking them out, numerous articles on Magnetism including a fascinating treatise from the 'New Thought' era on how to use personal magnetism to bend people to your will*. Hmmm, I'm not sure about this but I'll give you the details in my next newsletter, where I'll also let you know how I get on putting the principles into practice over the next few weeks. I'm a pretty competent manifester but can I bend people to my will? We'll see ;-)

Here's a video on Magnetism so we can all understand how we are surrounded by magnetic fields. Fabulous! Roll on 2012.

What this latest series of syncronicities suggests to me is that, yet again we can see that astrology may not be brilliant at straightforward prediction per se but it's excellent for pinpointing an idea, or theme, whose time has come - or is arriving.

* Update: I've had a few letters about this as to 'bend one to your will' is patently a transgression of 'right thought and action'. I totally agree, which is why I wrote it in a tongue in cheek manner, but the possibility remains that if we can alter our personal magnetism it may affect who we are able to more readily attract or repel. There's something to be investigated here.
