Taurus Scorpio Full Moon will happen on 22 Apr 5:23 am UT at 2 degrees 30’ Scorpio (Moon) and Taurus ( Sun ). The influence will last for one month but the most obvious affect will happen between 22 April to 5 May (Before Taurus new Moon on 6 May ) .
Stationary (Retrograde) Mars Pluto
During this time we are still under the influence of Stationary Pluto and Stationary Mars. Both Planets started to go retrograde on 16 and 17 April but as they move very slow they still count as stationary until the end of April. On the 13 April and 16 April we have 4 earthquakes occurring in Burma, Ecuador and south Japan, as I mentioned in my last report, both countries have 9-10 degrees Sagittarius ascendent or descendent which is hit by stationary Mars. Also some of my colleagues who are familiar with Fixed stars point out the this stationary Mars is very close to the Fixed star “Antares” which is located at 9 degrees Sagittarius. According to Ptolemy, Antares has Mars’s distractive nature (thanks Sharon and Ralph). Therefore we should be more careful with this Mars and the countries affected by this Mars (here I just repost the list from my previous report)
The countries that could be affected by stationary Mars include:
Sun near 8 degrees Sagittarius: Albania, Dominican Republic, Iceland, Ukraine, South Yemen
Moon near 8 degrees Sagittarius: France (1st Rep), Denmark (constitution), Portugal, Sri Lanka, US (Federal Constitution )
Asc near 8 degrees Sagittarius: Costa rica, Burma, Indonesia, Japan, Swaziland, US, Vietnam, Egypt
Mc/Ic near 8 degrees Sagittarius: Iceland, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, South Africa, UAE, Sri Lanka, Philippines
Also do not forget the countries that could be affected by stationary Pluto include:
Sun near 17 degrees Capricorn: Burma, Saudi Arabia
Moon near 17 degrees Capricorn: Latvia, Morocco, Singapore, Russia
Asc/Dsc near 17 degrees Capricorn: Ecuador, Iraq, Latvia , Mexico, Greece, Poland, UK (1707)
Mc/Ic near 17degrees Capricorn: Lebanon, Nepal, Greece, Cuba, Syria
About Earthquake
4 major Earthquakes happened during Mars Pluto stationary, this is what Mundane Astrologers have given warming , major events usually happened during stationary of Outer planets. Some scientist suggest we should be more cautious about the activity of ring of fire area.
We can use different techniques to find out the countries will been affected , Country chart like Japan Burma , Ecuador all have As Ds affected by Stationary Mars or Pluto, we can use Astro map from Solar Eclipse and Lunar Eclipse and Ingress chart
If we look at Solar Eclipse chart we can also see those country have been affect by outer planets . Include Japan US west coast , both the Lunar Eclipse and Aries Ingress chart suggestTaiwan Philippine Indonesia New Zealand and west coast of South American ( Chile, Peru,Columbia, Ecudor)
Mercury retrograde
Mercury is retrograde from 28 April to 22nd May and between 25 Apr to 1 May is Mercury stationary, although most astrologers remind us that don’t make important decision and don’t sign important contract during Mercury retrograde time but I think it will be fine so long as we deal with our business more carefully. Mercury retrograde suggests that we think twice and do not rush into any decisions, but does not suggest we “do not make decisions”. Also, most astrologers suggest that you do not travel during this time. I personally disagree, as for last eight years I often have important trips during Mercury retrograde time and I have been fine. It could suggest some delay, so one just needs to be more flexible with one’s itinerary.
The Mercury retrograde is from 23 Taurus, if we have to re-do, re-write, re-think or re-negotiate anything, we should think about Taurus themes which include money, finance, resources, body, abilities, stability, accumulation. Also Mercury stationary point is very closed to Fixed Algol it has been considered as most evil star in the heaven, has Jupiter Saturn natures, related misfortune, violence, decapitation, hanging, electrocution and mob violence. Dr Brady suggest Algol embody everything that men feared in the feminine. ( Thanks Theo for remind me about Algol)
Important Aspect
The important aspect include Saturn square Neptune, Jupiter square Saturn which remind us to be very careful with the financial markets and the dangers of religious fanaticism. Usually the Jupiter opposite Neptune and Jupiter trine Pluto suggests bankers are more daring to invest. The contrast between Saturn Neptune square (signs for bear market) and Jupiter Pluto Neptune aspects (signs for bull market) made finance market more unpredictable we could expect some dramatic actions for next two weeks.
Another indication of unstable financial markets is suggested by Venus conjunct Uranus. This could suggest a shocking event: unexpected trading news or an unusual trading event could happened at this time. Uranus also suggests techniques that improve our life therefore we may hear some breaking news of technology, Medicine or Science.
Un-aspected Sun until 28th April
Part from it’s contact with Moon, the Sun will appear un-aspected before 28th April, we may notice some people acting with total confidence and may appear a little forward. Usually the Sun represents famous people and country leaders. We have more chance to see them act in this way and this may cause some conflicts.
With Moon phase family this full moon in 2 degrees Scorpio could trigger events which happened between 23 October – 22 November2014 ( New Moon in 0 Scorpio) and 24-31 Jul 2015 (1st quarter Moon in 0 Scorpio). The event happened during this week may be triggered again on 19 Jan 2017 as last quarter Moon will be in 0 Scorpio too.
Between October to November 2014 ( New Moon in 0 Scorpio): ISIL were a major concern in international relations; Libya and Syria were in civil war; the worries of Ebola outbreak arose; President Dilma Rousseff was re-elected in Brazil; the conflict between Ukraine and Russia was very intense; and the Hong Kong authorities start dismantling a protest site in Admiralty following a court order.
Dilma Rousseff
Very interesting as Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff were re-elected at same Moon phase family and Brazilian congress just vote to impeach her. We will see the Full Moon is right on Brazil country chart’s Mars ( ruler of MC ). The Astromap from the Full Moon chart also have Mars (Mc ) Saturn (Mc ) Neptune(Asc) Jupiter(Dsc) pass Brazil. If we look her birth chart ( from Astro.com ) the Solar Eclipse Point and Chiron all have square her Sun and transiting Pluto on her Venus , when the Congress vote impeach Pluto was station and turn retrograde on her Venus.
Astromap of Full Moon suggest we should be careful with following areas
America: West coast of US, East coast, Brazil
Asia Pacific: East Australia, New Zealand
Middle East, Turkey, Egypt, Israel, Palestine North Europe,Scotland, East England, East Europe
30 April to 5 May Last Quarter Moon
The last Quarter Moon happens between 30 April and 5 May. The ending of the lunation cycle usually bring the struggle of feelings to let things go. However we should be careful of upheavals in financial markets in the first couple of days of May. It could be a briefly peaceful week as Sun trine Jupiter and strongly Venus will be un-aspected most of time, unlike the un-aspected Sun bringing arrogance, Venus suggests more peaceful and diplomatic actions during this period. Venus also urges us to think about Its value, beauty, and peace.
