stellArium & ethereal counterparts

We have entered an upbeat phase, so to speak, indicated by Mercury's alignment with Jupiter and Uranus culminating tomorrow. It all begins to unfold today, yet we ought to expect surprises. Anything can happen! nasa on March 28 After the last weeks' intensity, this tuning into lovely Venus as she sextiles Jupiter and conjuncts independent Uranus on the same day will present a nice break.  Also on March 28, Uranus sextiles Jupiter, giving Venus its freedom theme!  When entering Sagittarius the Moon joins in this cheerful alignment, and will definitely help keep our spirits high. This is an electrifying, sparkly aspect. Be ready for an out-of-the-blue meeting, or a huge desire to change things.  In relationships, expect the kind of conversations exploring how close is too close, or how can the excitement be kept alive.  With mercury, tongues will go fast enough to speak first and think later. Jupiter is the planet of expansion and is in achievement-oriented Capricorn no

mahakala mandala Depending on your time zone, the Sun enters Aries late Wednesday or early Thursday, marking a new astrological year with the Vernal equinox in the Northern Hemisphere (Autumn Equinox in the Southern Hemisphere).  Fueled with the spirit of rebirth, this equinox alignment is immediately and emphatically followed by the Libra Full Moon on Friday, promising some surprises. An explosive t-square between Pluto in Capricorn (read my earlier post about Pluto), Mars in Cancer, and the Sun in Aries will turn into a Grand Cardinal Cross, an aspect calling for integration and perfect equilibrium when the Moon moves into Libra and opposes the Sun during Friday's Full Moon. The grand cross announces a turning point in our collective destiny, and it will particularly affect individuals who have key points in those degrees of their charts. Pluto will bring to the surface any hidden emotional and psychological issues that demand to be acknowledged and dealt with before healing

March 7:  Mars in opposition to Pluto at 00°58' of Cancer/Capricorn is a highly significant transit: a taste for the major structural changes that are on their way. Mars and Pluto together are a formidable combination that results in irrevocable change when the lessons from the earlier phases of the cycle are integrated. Remember that Mars/Pluto will definitely destroy but it will also contain all the ingredients for renewal and regeneration. With Pluto in Capricorn, a sign of society rather than the individual, we are not likely to see in the near future, the forces attempting to subsume the individual into the collective ease up in any way.  We can see this in terms of the various crises - environmental, economic, nuclear - that we are facing collectively, and the resultant insecurity that they create.  Individuality is seen as a luxury by an insecure society. (I have much to say about this from my own experience) Mars Symbolic indications: 1° Cancer is: “On a ship t

Nasa A total eclipse of the Moon occurs during the night of Wednesday, February 20/21, 2008. The entire event is visible from South America and most of North America as well as Western Europe and Africa. During a total lunar eclipse, the Moon's disk can take on a dramatically colorful appearance from bright orange to blood red to dark brown and (rarely) very dark gray. An eclipse of the Moon can only take place at Full Moon, and only if the Moon passes through some portion of Earth's shadow. The shadow is actually composed of two cone-shaped parts, one nested inside the other. The outer shadow or penumbra is a zone where Earth blocks some (but not all) of the Sun's rays. In contrast, the inner shadow or umbra is a region where Earth blocks all direct sunlight from reaching the Moon. chart for the total lunar eclipse feb 21 2008, (on the 20th for the US) Nice (FR), 3:31 AM (univ. time) 2° Virgo: A Large White Cross Dominates The Landscape.
