Where I have sadly been very wrong is over the capping of the Gulf oil spill. An attempt was made at the Full Moon - but, as we all know it failed. Also, as yet, thankfully Iceland remains quiet. Unfortunately though there have been many news items that the eruption of Katla is close The stockmarket volatility also continues. Looking back over previous cycles we also have to watch for issues to do with babies and fires and the 'sudden ignition' of unrest. The football club Roma also shows up, so changes/surprises there. New posts coming soon
As a result of the recent election in the UK, and indeed the Presidential Election in the USA in 2008, many people must surely have a found new respect for the subject of astrology. A good number of my fellow astrologers called the 'Hung' Parliament and the coalition election result - much further in advance than the expensive polls that the media and official bodies conduct in these circumstances. Almost all had said that it was madness to call the election in a Mercury retrograde period.
In many cases, you don't need to be an astrologer to see how closely the cycles intertwine. Here are just two charts you may find interesting, even if they usually all seem like gobbledygook to you, these should be clear. Click them to enlarge and read clearly.
This first one shows the Conservative party formation of 1867 and the precise time that David Cameron became Conservative Coalition Leader of the new 'ConDemNation' (!) in 2010. A press release from the Palace was released, after we had seen Mr Cameron leave the Palace. This was timed at 20.35BST but should not be taken as the precise time of his being asked by the Queen to form a Government. The time was 20.26 +/- seconds.
This next chart shows when Brown was inside the Palace being asked to 'form a Government' in 2007 as a result of Tony Blair relinquishing his seat and it is next to the moment Gordon Brown resigned his position as PM in the Queen's presence in 2010.
Now onto a smorgasbord of tit-bits for you, ending with another chart to peruse of the New York Stock Exchange:
We are already witnessing the effects of the move of Uranus into Aries on May 28th GMT and its imminent -0- aspect (conjunction) to Jupiter (8th June). The full charts of both these events can tell us a lot about how the aspects will play out for the UK and abroad. We are also approaching a pivotal Jupiter/Saturn -180- (opposition). Put all these together and we get a Jupiter/Uranus -180- (opposition) to Saturn, which is -90- (square) to Pluto.
The picture these aspects form is distinctly angular, this means they don't really harmonise and the effects are stop/go, push/pull, forward/backwards and bring us to a definitive turning point - a point of no return - with all the resulting tensions that feeling torn and uncertain can bring. The addition of Pluto almost angular to Saturn/Uranus and Jupiter ensures one thing though, huge SHIFTs - seismic and otherwise. Historic events are happening/looming and the Earth will be mirroring these shifts and discomfort as we transition.
Here are some more of my considerations for the future based on these aspects:
I am as sure as it is possible to be that Uranus into Aries at the end of this month is going to usher in some form of major cyber attack (latest by November 2011) or the release of a virus comparable to WinNuke As Jupiter meets Uranus in Aries (and the first section of the zodiac, Aries, corresponds to the Face) I would suspect Facebook may be the entry point for the rapid spread of some attack. If your livelihood depends on your computer be warned now and be doubly cautious about suspect attachments and other known forms of virus transmission.
There is a possibility that the source will not be some spotty computer nerd in his bedroom but a professional organisation who stand to profit from the problem or use the attack as some form of weapon against a government. Cyber security will be one of THE profitable industries to be in.
Facebook may also get a facelift, or face to face viewing of our friends, or some other change (perhaps surprising or revolutionary) could happen - like a mass exodus from it, or its alliance to something else.
As JU/UR correlates to sky and space, power cuts or systems failures may even be the result of unusual phenomena from 'up above'. Solar radiation tsunami's.
Companies organisations, places and things with the word Red, or evoking that word, such as: Fever, Hot, Cut, Fire, Sword - e.g Red Knight Consortium (currently involved in negotiations to buy Manchester United) Red Bull(s), Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Red Wings airline, Red Square, Red Magazine, Red shirts, Heat magazine, Hotmail, Firefox etc may be in the news as will things like: 'Hot' Stocks, Cutbacks, Sudden layoffs (firings). Airlines in the red. Planes on fire - you have to play around with the symbolism. Where there is a negative there is always a plus so we will also see large new opportunities in some sectors corresponding to Aries.
Astrology could also come to the forefront at this time and with a new, added respect. The words 'new start' also corresponds to Aries.
The -180- aspects are almost -90- to Pluto so this gives us a Saturn/Pluto square. New boundaries, border controls and shifts in the structure of the Earth are also almost assured. Terrorism, especially in Europe and the UK (around the City and Canary Wharf) is a real threat as Terrorist organisations often like to 'test the mettle' of a new Government or administration soon after they enter power. JU/UR Aries ( sporting prowess) denotes the Olympic buildings, which are to the East of London (Aries) could be a target and construction companies should also take care that all safety measures are taken to guard against accidents, electrical problems or other failures there.
Those people who find their lives responding to the JU/UR aspect i.e those who have it natally, will be prominent in global news. I would for example (a lightweight example) expect Jennifer Aniston to have a baby or new start as she responds to the JU/UR cycle and Aries correlates to embryos and births.
The opposite sign is always invoked in any aspect so Libra comes into play too. So think JU/UR Libra. We also have Saturn moving to Libra reinforcing the symbolism of this sign.
Libra corresponds to diplomacy, fairness, equality, compromise, the legal system, Judges, economics, Sweet things (including Chocolate factories like Cadbury's - now Kraft). It includes fashion and glamour models and the beauty industry, agreements and arbitration. Themes like Me/You, Collaboration, Co operation( Co operative) and all words that evoke an us and them (or me and you theme) and joint schemes will be to the fore. Things do do with 'Confederation' could be prominent too. Watch out for that word e.g. Articles of Confederation, Confederation Cup, Confederation of businesses etc.
Getting back to the UK Election; as much as a coalition of two leaders, standing at dual podiums (and two leaders who also look like each other) could be said to correspond to the duality of Venus in Gemini, the wider correspondence is Libra, because Libra rules all alliances. Jupiter/Uranus cycles correlate to sudden surprises (including that of our new UK Government) but also can denote sudden upsets. Saturn in Libra can bring delays, or restructuring, or legal challenges from those mired in tradition.
Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg should not sit opposite the P.M., David Cameron at the Cabinet boardroom table as he did today. He should sit to his right if he wants to assume power, or to his left is he is willing to take a slightly subordinate position. After watching their body language on entry into Number 10, Clegg seems to already be in a power play and although I openly admit to voting for him, I feel he should curb his ambition to lead for a while or he runs a risk of alienating those he wants onside. He has definitely already felt the 'I can't believe my luck' aspect of the JU/UR conjunctions, which is one way they, rather notoriously, play out. He may also find himself unexpectedly standing in for the new Prime Minister. This will certainly happen upon the birth of Samantha Cameron's new baby.
In my April/May newsletter I said I feared that David Cameron may be worrying about his wife's pregnancy. Maybe what I was seeing in advance was the fact that Clegg may be too good a stand-in, so Cameron's planned paternity leave and absences must already be worrying David Cameron and his party!
Michael Munkasey, a well known astrologer writes of Jupiter/Uranus conjunctions in his book that this aspect correlates to 'Civil war due to a legal or religious system which stifles justice for common people". This applies globally at this time - and through to 2012. There are hot spots around the world where civil unrest is brewing to boiling point. These will all be off and on but, like the Volcanoes in Iceland, could suddenly explode under the build up of pressure. (Watch for run ups to Full Moons in this regard. Next one 27 May 2010).
Full Moons bring eruptions, but also endings and with the reversal of Neptune at the end of May latest I would expect the oil should finally be capped off (totally) in the Gulf but the recriminations will then begin in earnest. I'm still wondering if we have heard the full story about what happened there with so much Neptune obfuscating the truth.
You can read more about what the JU/UR conjunction relates to from this article, which I wrote in 2006. I also suggest you look at the Wiki page for 1997 to get an idea of what is ending, what is beginning and what may need revisiting.
One aspect that I haven't touched on lately is the JU/SA (Jupiter/Saturn) - 180-. These cycles strongly correlate to expansion and contraction. They also denote huge responsibility and are thus prevalent in charts of leaders, Presidents, PM's, CEO's and those who rise to positions of great influence. (The Royal Family 'respond' to this cycle too). Leaders and those mentioned can arrive and leave on these aspects. For the Stockmarkets, it is further indication of a 'way up' one day, 'way down' the next uncertainty. For the building trade and house market (which correlate strongly to this cycle) it is a turning point. Unfortunately, due to retrograde motion, this is the first of 3 oppositions of the same aspect not ending until the end of March 2011, so corrections will be made now and schemes implemented to lift the House markets out of the doldrums but they won't even begin to show signs of significant change until the final turning point in mid 2011 ( and by then we will be dealing with other issues). Only slow, steady, sensible moves could result in gains. The transformation in the use of big buildings could occur ( JU/UR/SA/PL) i.e turning offices to flats etc.
The chart of the NYSE has just seen Neptune move to an important position. Neptune correlates to fraud, uncertainty, viruses and pharmaceutical, train, gas and oil companies. Big fluctuations in the fortunes of the latter stocks are indicated by the move of Neptune ( seen here in the 10th). This move is long term

Traders need to get an ephemeris and watch the movement of Mars and the Moon around this chart. On 6th May 2010 Mars was precisely conjoining Uranus the planet strongly associated with shocks and computers. Mercury was also RX. A huge trading glitch saw stocks plummet in price and many of those stocks were 'of the nature' of Neptune which has just moved to the 10th. Saturn is hovering and moving in and out of the 5th and will be opposed by Jupiter on 23rd May.
So, the next key dates to watch for significant movements on the global Markets are 22/23/24/25th May and first week of June (1st-3rd June particularly) but the entire months of June/July/August are volatile.
More immediately on Earth, in general, from now to 17th/18th May watch for major events involving Police and natural events (earth shifts) as Heliocentric Saturn opposes Uranus just as Mercury and Pluto align and Saturn and Mars align. These often coincide with Earthquakes or situations with people that lead to a release of tension after much frustration.
We are in midst of significant change and it all sounds bad when listed like this but it has an ultimate purpose, longterm. Trust that.
To be continued!
P. S What a coincidence. Just seen this in breaking news. Read the article in full here. New York Times
“My amendment writes these organizations out of law,” Mr. LeMieux continued. “Why should we reward them and allow them to continue to have what, in effect, is a government-sponsored monopoly?” He added, “In a way, we’re looking here and saying the astrology that we relied upon in the past didn’t work. Let’s have some new and better astrology. The ratings agencies don’t work.”
