June 2016 could be a hectic month for everyone as Sun, Moon, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune form a Mutable grand cross on the New Moon chart, even though this Grand Cross will disappear after one week, its influence, like a solid imprint on the ground, will last for whole month (lunar cycle). The New Moon chart gives astrologers an idea of what is going to happen this coming lunar cycle.  In one way we can predict what type events are going to happen, and what we will experience.  In another way we can adapt and prepare for what’s come up.

Moon Wobble and Neptune Mars stationary: Unstable situation

As the Sun square Nodal axis at this moment, it is Moon wobble time between 24th May to 14th June and we usually observe disasters during this time. Serious loss will happen if there is other astrological indication suggesting unstable situations happening during Moon Wobble, such as Outer planets stationary.  Neptune will turn Retrograde in June and will be stationary between 11th – 16th June at 12 degrees of Pisces.  These days could be crucial times, important events and disasters are more likely happen during this period.  Neptune rules the Sea, Fog, Smog, Gas, Air and water, pollution, Viruses, Epidemics, Chemistry and Drugs. It also related to the film industry and financial markets. ( Malaysia and Indonesia both have Transit Neptune Stationary on MC )

Mars will turn direct at 23 degrees Scorpio in the end of June. It will appear stationary between 18 June to 11th of July.  Mars represents dry and hot climates, a heatwave or explosion may cause some problem, Mars also represents riots, robbery, violence and War.  As Mars trine Chiron the symbol of wounds and healing in the New Moon chart, this double whammy suggests  Mars-type events are more like to be observed during these dates.    ( Poland has Mars Stationary on MC and Transit  Pluto on Asc )

Between 13th and 30th of June Venus will cross the boundary of the Zodiac to become out of bound. When a planet is out of bound, this suggests something related to this planet could be out of control and surprise us.  We usually observe crazy trading during Venus out of bound, as Venus represents Value and Art.  Therefore some surprise news may come from Art investment.

Mutable Grand Cross in June 2016

Sun, Moon, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune form a Mutable Grand cross in the new moon chart.

A mutable grand cross suggests a highly uncertain view of the future, like we are at a crossroad and don’t know which way to go.  There are so many choices and  there are so many rumours. US presidential candidate Donald Trump is a great example, it  does not matter whether you like him or hate him, he changes quickly to adapt to a situation and say what people want to hear.  One moment he can support Transgender rights, next moment, when facing a  Christian state, he will tell you that you should go to the toilet according your biological sexual identity. He wants to build a wall between the US and Mexico and kick out all illegal migrants from Latin america, then a few weeks ago we saw him tweet  “Love Taco “.  His Sun and Moon are both in Mutable sign Gemini and Sagittarius and he was born on the day of a Lunar Eclipse. I am not predicting whether he going to win the election or not I, just point out how he represents the current outer planets configuration.

If we examine the planets involved in this grand cross we can understand the areas where we should be careful. The Sun suggests leaders and celebrities.  During this time they are representing different futures that we are going to choose.  What kind of society do you want to live in, for example in US:  Dramatic Trump style; Socialist Sanders style; or old elite Clinton style. While in the UK there is a referendum for staying in or leaving the EU.  As Neptune involves so many celebrities it could confuse or mislead others or they may become victims for what they stand for.

The Moon could represent the common people, who will be forced to choose sides. Do not forget that the Moon also represents Female (together with Venus) suggesting a female person could be a Scapegoat during this lunar cycle. The Moon represents agriculture and both the Moon and Neptune represent the Ocean.  Agriculture and fisheries businesses will also face huge challenges.  Jupiter represents higher education and airline businesses we can expecting some loss, closure and confusion in these areas. Jupiter Saturn aspect suggests we are on the turning point of social development and Venus, Jupiter and Neptune all have the flavour of generosity, how do we help each other under the critical economic conditions?  How do we share limited resource in this world? Social benefit policies, wealth inequality, migrant and refugee issues will be focussed on by the media during this month.

Update : Mutable signs or Common signs  ( 4 Jun 2016 )

Mutable signs maybe suggest that we are wondering where to go? However, could we do more ? Make more options rather than to be compelled ? No one tell us the only ways is East or West. Could we go North East or South West ?

That make me think about what Guido Bonatti said about Mutable sign “ Indeed, signs are called “ common,” because if the Sun were to enter one of those signs, the weather become common, nor is it truly called fixed, nor movable, but it participates with each, namely with the fixed and the movable. Whence part of the weather belongs to one, and part of other.

There for we maybe need to go to find more possibility. If only choice is Hillary VS Trump,  we should make them listen what people said, if UK choose leave EU what we could do to keep what EU used to benefit us in the human right and equality? I am just thinking, Is there another way to benefit both side…

Another idea Jump out when I look the New Moon chart , if we look the New Moon chart , Mercury is SUN MOON Dispositor in the New Moon chart, look Mercury’s position , 20 degrees Taurus , it is 2 degrees away from Jupiter Saturn conjunction in 2000 (22 degrees Taurus ) .

This is clear enough , this Mutable ground cross in New Moon chart suggest we are in ending part of  Jupiter Saturn cycle and what we observed ( to See : Sun) at this time is guiding us go to exam the choice we made in 2000 when Jupiter conjunct Saturn in Taurus. If our choice is “ Money , Material world , Material orientation “ and look what we have now , Super Rich , Plutocracy , if we continue like this the things we going to eat is bank note , coins and bank statement .  It time to make some change and don’t let other do it for you .

“Ladies and gentlemen, the Captain has turned on the fasten seat belt sign. We are now crossing a zone of turbulence. Please return your seats and keep your seat belts fastened. Thank you.”

Moon Wobble 
If you are familiar with lunation forecasting or Eclipse study, you will understand why I give such a warning, because between 24th May to 14th June we are going through Moon wobble period. This is usually the moment that important political and economical events take place. During this time the Sun will, step by step, get closer to forming a tight square to the Nodal axis and usually at this moment the Sun will be close to the area of zodiac where it will trigger Solar and Lunar Eclipse chart.

Beware that the next New Moon in 14 Gemini will trigger 2016 March Solar Eclipse as this Solar Eclipse degrees on 18 Pisces, also as it is on Mutable signs, timing and event styles are usually unpredictable, therefore I prefer give an early warning from now, especially as few bad financial indicators are happening this two weeks, there is Mercury Stationary (22 May),   the Moon wobble and of course The Jupiter Saturn Neptune T-square  happens at the same time.

Important Aspect for next two weeks :Jupiter Saturn waning square and Saturn Neptune waning square

As both financial indicators aspect, Jupiter-Saturn and Saturn-Neptune, are in the ending of their cycles , this usually causes upheaval in the world economy and it will last for one or two years. In this case please be very careful when you take any financial risks.
This idea comes from the planetary synod cycles. For humanistic astrologers, the cycle begins when two planet conjunct (like new moon). After conjunction, the faster planet moves away and there comes a waxing moon period like first semi-square (for example: crescent Moon) and first square (like first quarter Moon when Moon 90 degrees away from the Sun, after New Moon ). Then Opposition. This is waxing period and suggests development and growing time. After opposition, like the Sun Moon relationship after full Moon comes a time of decreasing the light, like waning Moon, then the square happens after opposition is most crucial timing as this cycle begins to end.

Jupiter represents ideas and development, Saturn is about structure and realisation of ideas. This pair of Planets relates to our social development. Jupiter-Saturn hard aspect also suggests we are at a turning point of our social development plan. The current Jupiter Saturn cycle began in 2000 and for the last 15 years we constructed our society in a materialistic way, as Jupiter-Saturn conjuncts in Taurus in 2000.

Now we are facing new challenges. Doesn’t money mean everything? How will our society develop now? How could 1% of the population end up owning a very large portion of economic wealth on the world, while the other 99% hold much less? When Jupiter forms a square with Saturn before the next conjunction in 2020 we need to think about these questions. Do you still want to live like this? If not, what do you have to do? Keep an eye on what happens in the next five years as we will notice some social development plans are not going to work. We have to abandon those projects which are out of date and no longer work, in order to give space for new projects to develop.

Mars semi-square Pluto : crisis and Oil Price 

Mars semi-square Pluto: as we expected, the oil price began to change from 17th May, the day Mars started to form a semi-square with Pluto. This could suggest another dramatic change on 20-22 May.  We also heard about the Egypt Air airplane crash on 19 May. Mars Pluto aspect usually brings us crises to remind us what is the meaning of life for you.

During this full moon we also have Sun Mars opposition, this suggests a Leadership challenge could be important news in the media for the next two weeks, from political to business spheres.

Lunar Family
This full moon is related to
22 Nov 2014 New Moon and the first quarter Moon in 22 Aug 2015. Therefore things happening between
22 Nov 2014 -21 Dec 2014 and 22-29 Aug 2015 could continue develop for the next two weeks. The oil price dramatically dropped on 28 Nov 2014; A riot broke out because of the shooting of Michael Brown; Sydney hostage crisis cause; Bird flu in Europe, US build normal ration with Cuba. The Europe migrant crisis in 2015 August. Therefore we can also expect these events will have another change when the last quarter Moon happens on 18 Feb 2017.
This Full moon could also trigger
2012 May Solar Eclipse, Eclipse and things happen near that time may come back into our life as a result or re-examination.

Astromap and Geodetic map 

Full Moon astromap suggests following country are more affected by major change
Australia, UK, France , Ireland, Brazil, , Mexico, West Coast of US, Iran, Afghanistan , Taiwan , China

The Geodetic map suggests following countries and area should be careful too
New England area in US South California, Hawaii , Alaska , Chile , Peru Ecuador and Colombia ,Greece Spain , Algeria, India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia area and New Zealand.

Last quarter Moon
Last quarter Moon happen on 29 May 2016 at 8 degree Gemini-Pisces. triggering 2014 March event and 2014 June and possibly the week 2-9 Sep 2014 and week of 25Feb-3 Mar 2015.

Sun Square Jupiter opposite Saturn Neptune , in one way the Sun triggers the important political and financial events, in another way we notice there are some things that that we can no longer demand and we should let go of fantasy and dreams. This could also happen when famous people delude others with rumour.

From the chart we see as Sun join the outer planets square make a mutable grand cross, this could suggest something more unstable and unsettle in the world political situation.   Interesting UK have these planets on the angles when last quarter Moon happened.
Finally, be very very careful between between 24th May to 14th June , things could get very bumpy during this time.

News update

France labour dispute: Wave of strike action nationwide

I like Eurovision, an occasion that I can hear different songs from different talented singers and this event give us a chance to see different countries present their cultures and creativities. Be an astrologer I like the relation between the position of transiting Jupiter on the Gran final contest chart. Not only Jupiter represent social develop, party , joy and glory, Jupiter is also a symbol of pop culture and media , how we see the world.

Jupiter sing and Winner songs

I started to notice these when the Finish  hard rock and heavy metal Group Lordi won in 2006,  they are famous about  wearing monster masks and using horror elements , the moment they won Jupiter was on Scorpio, a sign related to horror .     

Next year Serbia singer Marija Šerifovic won the contest with a song call Molitva , what does that mean ? “ Prayer “ Where to find a sing better then Sagittarius link with this song?  Jupiter was in Sagittarius in 12 May 2007. When Russia won in 2008 Jupiter was in Capricorn .. no need to say that year was disaster of Eurovision, people were arguing about political vote.

Most amazing relation between chart and winner is 2014 when drag singer Conchita Wurst won the contest, Jupiter in Cancer Exaltation and what is winning song ? “ Rise Like a Phoenix “ and what doest ” Exaltaiton ” mean ? Rise to highest position

The opening of 2014 Contest have Saturn opposite Sun , Venus in Aries opposite Mars in Libra with “ Mutual reception “  was very close to MC/IC axis by the time they announce the winner, could this mutual reception represent a beard lady or long hair Male in a dress?   And last year Sweden won the contest with song call “ Heroes” I don’t need to remind you that Jupiter was in Leo last year (May 2015).

Eurovision 2016 and 1944 Deportation of the Crimean Tatars

This year ’s eurovison opening chart we have, Scorpio rising , Moon conjunct Jupiter and North Node in Virgo opposite Neptune .  If we look the Astromap from this chart , Saturn As line go through Ukraine to Moscow (very interesting) but Local space Mercury and Venus lines from Stockholm go to Ukraine where the winer Jamala from.

As Jupiter in Virgo , I was waiting for a girly or earthy song to win. It could be “ Money money money” or “ Like a virgin “ before the contest started, but I did not get that much Virgo flavour during this contest, part from much of  the participate were stood on the stage sang their song alone without dancer, fire or guinea pig wheel. However this is the best musical performance I ever seen , they were all great. Maybe this refer to hard working training of Virgo character. I have difficult to relate the winning song 1944 to Jupiter in Virgo . I almost gave up but next day I ask myself , why 1944 ?

1944 Deportation of the Crimean Tatars

Ukraine singer Jamala won the 2016 Eurovision song contest with a song name 1944, I then read the story about this song and realised there are big argument about this song as Russia is not happy with the story behind this Song “Deportation of the Crimean Tatars “ . Use her voice Jamala told us the story about what’s   happen between 18-20 May 1944. It is a collective punishment ordered by Stalin for the Crimean Tatars collaboration with the Nazi occupation regime in Taurida Subdistrict during 1942–1943. During this period 200,000 crimean has been remove from their homeland and cause more than 100,000 deportees die in starvation or disease as a direct result of deportation.

Here is Lyrics

When strangers are coming…

They come to your house,

They kill you all

and say,

We’re not guilty

not guilty.

We could build a future

Where people are free

to live and love.

The happiest time.

Where is your heart?

Humanity rise.

You think you are gods

But everyone dies.

“Yaşlığıma toyalmadım, ooh

Men bu yerde yaşalmadım

Yaşlığıma toyalmadım

Men bu yerde yaşalmadım

“I couldn’t get enough of my youth

I couldn’t grow old here

I couldn’t get enough of my motherland”.

• 1944 Jamala

Saros cycle, the reason 1944 link with 2016

Does this mean much virgo for you ? Not for me , so far.

Let us back to Astrology what’s the relation between today and 1944 ? It is 72 years away , this directly leading us to thing about Nadal cycles ,yes both 1944 and 2016 are belong to same  Saros cycle, according Dr Bernadette Brady this is S.S 18 south , as an Mundane astrologerI am not a surprise the story of Deportation of the Crimean Tatars has been jump on the important musical event this year if both year belong to same Saros cycle. Usually events will have new develops when same saros cycles’ Eclipse happen again.   

The character of this Eclipse family are ending or separation however the pain of the separation leading to a positive outcomes. What a beautiful description, and it does fit in Jamala’s story.

Here is the chart of Deportation of Crimean Tatars , I use Sun rise chart as event happen form the early morning. We have Saturn square Neptune (Same as now ) we have Uranus sextile Pluto (We have Uranus Square pluto ) Uranus in Gemini square Chiron in Virgo Mars conjunct Node.

That year Solar Eclipse was occurred 25th Jan 1944 if we draw a chart form Sevastopol we will see the Sun Moon conjunct in 4 Aquarius and opposite Pluto in 6 Leo, Pluto conjunct south Node and Ascendent, Mars in 6 degree Gemini conjunct Uranus, Saturn in 20 Gemini square Chiron in Virgo.

Now if we make a bi wheel between Eurovision final and Deportation on 1944 , you will surprise find out Venus is back to same position , Eurovision Mars is opposite 1944 Uranus (opposite 1944 Eclipse Mars) , 2016 Eurovision Moon Jupiter conjunct on Virgo on 1944’s Chiron (the wounded healer).  When the winner announced Moon move to 8 degree Virgo, tight conjunct with 1944 Chiron.      Jamala told us part of this song is … is a Crimean Tatar folk song she heard form her great grandmother , Moon , Jupiter , Chiron Virgo … planets combination fit into this sad story.

Finally if we check the astromap form 1944 deportation we will see the Sun As line and Mercury As Venus  line were near Stockholm, two events were 72 years apart, a tragic event and a music festival were link by Eclipse Cycles and Astromap for the both Event.

Yesterday’s wounds today’s glory from Chiron I/C to Jupiter near MC 

Maybe I am still not get how to link this year winner’s song  to Jupiter Virgo but when I watch again Jamala’s performing I saw that beautiful flower pattern grow to a tree while she was sining , is that Chiron on the IC ? Is that Jupiter Moon on the MC of event chart ? Yesterday’s wound could be heal by today’s glory?

I don’t know argument of song 1944 before I watch the Song contest, however this song  is really touching , Jamala’s voice is deep and healing, people talk about her accusation of 1944, yes it sounds like accusation if you take Russia’s view however if you step in to crimean Tartars shoes, we are witness a tragic event we share their pain and help to heal this wound by recognise their sorrow. I’d rather say it is a requiem for 1944 of a requiem for people who lost homeland, for people who lost family, who been killed or torture during Genocide, it is very healing … I wasn’t listen the lyrics first time  but with her voice I had already tears in my eyes. Her magnetic voice drag people to listen with heart , her body move like a witch healing everyone in a shamanic way . The feeling is so powerful for me. She heard the story from her family she witness their sorrow, I wish by singing their sorrow her music and glory can maybe heal these collective wounds , maybe this time detriment Jupiter Virgo try to show Us not only he can be joyous but he know how to heal too.

Few updata

1.  My astrologer colleague Eva Krajewska point out that ‘s birthday on 27 August 1983 here is the chart, Thank you Ewa .

2. My colleague Marcos Patchett suggest  ” Virgo is a loud-voiced, humane, feminine sign of the virgin, where Jupiter is in detriment so might indicate dissolution of Jupiter things – faith, national identity, freedom. Also, Jupiter squaring Saturn, but receiving Saturn’s hostile impositions & overcoming them – “you think you are gods, but everyone dies” & the “future where people are free”.Thank you Marcos .

 Taurus new Moon will occur on 6 May at 16 degrees Taurus its influence will last until 5 Jun.  This new Moon has Sun Moon trine Jupiter and Pluto, Sun Moon also quincunx Saturn. The ruler of the new moon is Venus, it moves into Taurus where Venus rules.  Meanwhile Jupiter turn to Direction from Retrograde The flavour of this lunar cycle could be exciting and jubilant. As Jupiter turns direction In one way, people may focus on progression positive future but underestimate the challenge still waiting. Saturn quincunx Sun Moon suggests that we may notice some people who are not so popular at this moment as they remind us of the challenging tasks that are still there waiting for us.

Important aspect

During this New Moon the outer planets aspects are still focussed on the challenges of global economy, the Jupiter square Saturn and Saturn square Neptune suggest the threat of bear market is one step closer.  However as Jupiter moves direct, Jupiter conjunct North Node, Jupiter started to trine Pluto and Venus trine Pluto suggesting that most people have a positive view of the market at this moment, this could be a brief relief before we face a bigger challenge, or we could say it gives us time to prepare for the winter. The 12th, 20th,  21st, 30th of May could be very important turning point of investment market.  

Not only the financial market holds this positive view, the international political situation also has this kind of jubilance.  The ongoing peace talk gives us some hope of peace.  The give-and-take conditions that we will not see, can only reveal later.

Lunation

This new Moon will trigger the 10 May 2013 Solar Eclipses as the Sun Moon was located  on 19 Taurus. That year we had Edward Snowden revealed the mass surveillance project of the Pentagon.  We also have the Egyptian political crisis as President Morsi was deposed and there were also several huge earthquakes in the Philippines and Pakistan (both areas also need to be careful at this time).

Another related lunation is the Solar Eclipse on 7 Feb 2007  as it happened on  17 degrees Aquarius, it worried me as early that year the stock market had a big fall on 28th Feb.  The current new Moon triggered on Feb 2007 Solar Eclipse gives rise that possibility of upheaval on stock market during this lunation. The other events include Turkey blocking Youtube and China giving permission to Foreign banks including Citi bank and HSBC to start their business in China.

As this new moon is related to the first quarter moon on 5 Jan 2017, full moon on 5 Oct 2017

and last quarter moon on  6 Jul 2018 this suggests that things happen this moment could come back in these 3 periods in the future.

Where?

According to the Astromap of the New Moon, the following countries should be more careful, especially if this area is also affected by outer planets during the Solar Eclipse, Aries Ingress or Jupiter stationary.

Asia-Pacific area: Japan, South Korea, North Korea Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Bangladesh, Iran

Europe- Africa: Ethiopia, Somalia, East Coast Africa, Libya, ALGERIA, Greece, Croatia, Italy , France.            

America: Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Brazil, Cuba, Dominique Rep. North East of US

Geodetic: in the Geodetic map suggest following areas could be tense areas: North East of US, west coast of Latin America, Spain, Portugal, Greece, India Pakistan, Vietnam and Thailand.   

Jupiter stationary 6th-13th May

Jupiter direction on 9th May and Jupiter stationary between 6th-13th May on 13 degrees Virgo before it turn to direction. The traditional view of a planet being stationary before turn direction is better than the stationary before retrograde. Therefore this stationary has a positive meaning of recovery and temporary relief.

However we should still be very careful with outer planet stationary time as the most important shocking events, nature disasters happen during this time. It could be Jupiter related areas like Justice system, Higher Education, Religions, aero-industry and anything related to flight and also economic and finance market.   

It is very interesting if we check the fixed stars during the Jupiter stationary time.  For most places Jupiter is paran  with Alkes ( α Crater ) as Jupiter is culminating when Alkes is culminating.  Alkes has Venus and Mercury nature, it brings kind, generous, cheerful and receptive qualities, very similar the flavour of this new moon.  In the Myth, the constellation Crater is the cup given by Apollo to Raven to bring some water for a party but Raven delays bringing it by eating the figs and lies about the water snake delaying the mission.  Therefore Apollo sent them to Sky and Raven can never drink the water in the Crater. Some stories also relate Crater with Icarus’s wine and prophecy.  The Crater also could be seen as a symbol of the cup related to the holy grail and represents the female nature as the vessel that carries life. 

Maybe during this time we will witness someone chasing things that they long for.  We get some new idea (or a lie) of future (Prophecy)  , maybe the important meaning of all this events suggest that we focus on life itself and focus on what we receive.

In the 28 house of (Xiu) of Chinese astrology this part of southern sky represent by Rose Finch (or Phoenix) the Alkes located in Yi Xiu (翼宿) represent Finch’s wing also related to honour the guest from far away. As Jupiter related to Birds and Foreigners, I will take these Chinese fixed stars meaning as a double whammies.

Jupiter stationary at 13 degrees Virgo, the following countries have Sun, Moon, Asc/Dsc Axis or Mc/IC Axis near stationary Jupiter.

Sun:Brazil Macedonia North Korea MONGOLIA VIETNAM  SWAZILAND  GHANA  Libya

Moon: FINLAND HUNGARY LATVIA LEBANON POLAND SWITZERLAND (constitution) THAILAND PHILLIPINES

ASC: ALGERIA Azerbaijan Ethiopia Jordan Kenya Libya Norway Scotland South Africa Zimbabwe

MC: Indonesia Malaysia Romania Thailand Turkey North Korea

First quarter Moon

First quarter Moon will happen on 13 May, Sun in 23 Taurus and Moon in 23 Leo, this belongs to Lunation family started at 18 May 2015 ( New Moon in 26 Taurus) and it also triggers New Moon of 14 Aug 2015 and 17 Aug 2012.

Events happened during these three lunation cycle maybe have echo between 17-21 May.

May 2015:  Biggest Earthquake since 1976 in Malaysia; Landslide in Colombia; Ireland votes to legalise same-sex marriage.

Aug 2015: Car bomb in Bangkok; Germany backs the third Bailout for Greece and Greek Prime Minister Tsipras resigns; ISIS Destroys Ancient Temple in Palmyra.

Aug 2012: Pussy Riot are convicted of hooliganism and sentenced to two years in a penal colony for performing an anti-Putin song; U.S. Embassy attacked in Middle East.

Un-aspected Mars

From 12-17 May Mars will not form major aspect with other Planets. This is could be seen as un-aspected although there are a few minor aspects or aspect with Moon sometimes. During this time people are seeking a chance to prove that they are able to do something.  As Mars is still retrograde and there are minor aspects with Pluto this un-aspected Mars have more unrest affecting in psychological level, we could easily feel offended and feel it is difficult to release our anger. 

Mars Pluto semi square usually suggests crisis, fighting and explosion , in my research it usually relates to oil price changes. There are the things that we should be careful between 17-21 May.

At 23:17 local time (UT 15:17) a magnitude 5.3 earthquake first hits Hualien (East Taiwan), although this is not a mega earthquake but it last more than 20 seconds this does made most people aware and panic,  10 minutes after another M4.7 earthquake happened .  

3 hours after another M 5.0 quake occurred in Taitung ( a little bit south ). 3 earthquakes in one night does made Taiwanese worry is there a major earthquake coming as the neighbour country Japan just had few mega earthquake early this month. 

From Astrological view, this area does need to be careful as both Solar Eclipse chart and Aries ingress chart has powerful planet on angles. On the 9th Mar 2016 solar eclipse chart Hualine area has Mars on Dsc and on the Aries Ingress chart Taiwan has Pluto near Dsc.

When 1st earthquake happened tonight (27th Apr 2016) Pluto was right on Ascendent. So as second earthquake as it only happened 10 minutes after, the 3rd one happen at 2:19 am Local time (18:18 UT) This time there is Saturn on Mc and Neptune on Asc.

Check the Fixed stars paran in Hualien East Taiwan area there is  Procyon setting when Pluto rising when Earthquake happen, the Procyon the Canis Minor. Ptolemy told us Procyon has Mercury Mars nature, Robson told us Procyon has meaning of action and sudden violence.    Ebertin Dr Brady talk about Babylonian meaning of this star is healing but Greek see it as small dog of Orion. jump on the stage before the big dog ” Sirius ” come to the sky.   

On 17th April Brazilian congress lower house voted to impeach President Dilma Rousseff, most people believe there are more behind this impeachment. At mean time there is mass demonstrations by a group called “Democracy Spring” began from Mid of April in US, so for the Police has arrested 900 People. I would like to exam these two event with recent lunation charts , Eclipse and New Moon Full Moon and Astromap according these chart.

Story 1. Political Crisis in BRAZIL  

The Political crisis in Brazil since 2015 is arrive the highest point when the congress voted impeach President Rousseff. Here is some paragraph from David Miranda ‘s Article on The Guardian website.

” The country’s elite class and their media organs have failed, over and over, in their efforts to defeat the party at the ballot box. But plutocrats are not known for gently accepting defeat, nor for playing by the rules. What they have been unable to achieve democratically, they are now attempting to achieve anti-democratically: by having a bizarre mix of politicians – evangelical extremists, far-right supporters of a return to military rule, non-ideological backroom operatives – simply remove her from office.

Indeed, those leading the campaign for her impeachment and who are in line to take over – most notably the house speaker Eduardo Cunha – are far more implicated in scandals of personal corruption than she is. Cunha was caught last year with millions of dollars in bribes in secret Swiss bank accounts, after having falsely denied to Congress that he had any foreign bank accounts. Cunha also appears in the Panama Papers, working to stash his ill-gotten millions offshore to avoid detection and tax liability.

….

That the real plan behind Rousseff’s impeachment is to put an end to the ongoing investigation, thus protecting corruption, not punishing it. There is a real risk that once she is impeached, Brazil’s media will no longer be so focused on corruption, public interest will dissipate, and the newly empowered faction in Brasilia will be able to exploit its congressional majorities to cripple that investigation and protect themselves. ”

Here is the news link article by David Miranda  ” The real reason Dilma Rousseff’s enemies want her impeached” http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/apr/21/dilma-rousseff-enemies-impeached-brazil

What we Since on the news is 2015 on going protests in Brazil demand President Dilma Rousseff’s exit because fail to save Brazil economy and she been accused of juggling federal accounts to make the economy seem better than it was before her re-election in 2014.

However the in the David Miranda‘s article he point out ” But what most outside Brazil did not see was that the country’s plutocratic media had spent months inciting those protests (while pretending merely to “cover” them). The protesters were not remotely representative of Brazil’s population. They were, instead, disproportionately white and wealthy: the very same people who have opposed the PT and its anti-poverty programmes for two decades.”

Now let us go to check few chart

1. Solar Eclipse Chart 2016Mars on the 1 degree Sagittarius near  Ascendent and Venus on 25 Aquarius on IC. When the congress voted impeach Mars was stationary on SE chart’s Asc.

2. 9 Mar 2016 Solar Eclipse with Brazil country chart

Here we can see the SE Venus is right on country’s Asc, Venus rules country’s IC, SE Mars is very close to MC in 10 and also rulers MC. This Mars trine country’s Pluto in 2 house and Pluto is another ruler of MC . Pluto in country ‘s chart ruler MC and locate in 2and house describe the corruption and long term military government in past history, the transiting Mars trigger this wound. The Jupiter on SE chart is on country’s Sun opposite by SE Sun Moon and both square Saturn in SE chart.

3.Full Moon chart’s Retrograde Mars are right on MC

Transit Pluto currently conjunct Rousseff ‘s Venus ( chart ruler )  and SE Sun Moon and Chiron square her Sun . 

When the congress voted  impeach in the evening of 17th April ( time unknown ) Pluto stationary on Rouseff’s Venus her Chart ruler. Mars stationary on the 8 degrees Sagittarius as I mention in other article the fixed star ” Antares ” is 1 degree away and interesting the ancient Chinese astrologer consider when Mars stationary near Antares will cause problem to ” Emperor” ( country leader).

In the Solar Arc chart Rouseff has SA Neptune conjunct NA Sun, suggest some confession with her image, SA Asc conjunct her NA Moon suggest at this moment she maybe showing her Feminine side  and caring image to people. The Mercury square Chiron describe the tension between Rousseff and media. The SA Mars square her Pluto and SA Uranus on her Mars totally describe the crisis she is facing and She may have to bring another revolution to against the conservative plutocracy power and against corruption  .

Does anyone see where is her SA Saturn ?       2 degrees Scorpio …on Brazil country chart’s Mars …Will she become the Heroine to over come the political crisis or Victim of Plutocracy ?

Very interesting if we check this Full moon when she face the huge political crisis , the Full Moon fall on 2 degrees Scorpio Taurus axis,  the lunation family of this full moon beginning at 23 October 2014 at 3 day before she been re elected. … Sun Moon are near her Asc/Dsc axis.

If we put New Moon on 23 October 2014 and Full moon on 22 April 2016  together with Brazil country chart we will notice again that country’s Mars has been trigger. 

I from David Miranda’s article I am also interesting in Brazil’s contemporary history

1. When the Military regime started in 1964, the Solar Eclipse of that year, New Moon was on 23 Capricorn,  Venus Saturn was on Brazil’s Asc.  Saturn conjunct North node opposite Venus. Mars in 1 degree Aquarius square country’s Mars and sextile Pluto. There there is also Pluto on the Sun .  This is Uranus conjunct Pluto in 60s and if you look carefully Brazil has Uranus on 3 degrees Capricorn and Pluto on 0 Aries.
2. From 1984 the Brazil move gradually from Military regime to democracy after leaves of  João Figueiredo and Civilians returned to power in 1985. Here we have the Solar Eclipse chart of 1984 Nov ( influence the presidential election ). Sun Moon in 10 conjinct MC. Pluto play an important role again this time right on country Mars. SE Mars square country Mars ( Mars return of the solar eclipse 1964) .   SE Saturn also opposite country Mars.     
3. As the March 1985 Brazil return to democracy I am also interested to the Solar Eclipse of May 1985 chart . In this chart we can see the SE Chiron Venus Moon and Sun all conjunct Brazil’s Moon Jupiter in 4th house.   The Sun Moon conjunct in 9 degrees Gemini. 
4.  When first left wing president Lula da Silva  elected in  2002. We can see the Solar Eclipse chart of December 2002 suggest this major change . Uranus on Asc, SE Jupiter and SE Mc conjunct south Node and Venus,  Se Node conjunct Jupiter Moon, Se Pluto and Sun Moon ,  square Sun, SE Mercury square country’s  Mercury and there is again SE Mars conjunct country Mars … wicked … 
5.  However if we put 2002 Solar Eclipse with 2016 Solar Eclipse together we will see some interesting point. Both Eclipse are locate at mutable signs and square Brazil country Sun in 14 Virgo. 2016 Saturn conjunct 2002’s Sun Moon Pluto and opposite Saturn. 2016 Venus conjunct 2002’s Uranus .   

 Brazil has Uranus on 3 degrees Capricorn and Pluto on 0 Aries. It react in 60s when Uranus conjunct Pluto, therefore we are not surprise when Uranus square Pluto from 2010 this country face another wave of upheaval.  This is showing us what’s Uranus Pluto square are working on .   Democracy or Plutocracy.

Story 2.Democracy Spring in Washington D.C

Yes it is happen in U.S now … but our media don’t want us  to know so they are keeping silence. ( my friend accuse me trust fake news… oh well …)

More than 900 ‘Democracy Spring’ protesters arrested in D.C.
Mass demonstrations by a group called “Democracy Spring” began last Monday. A related group, “Democracy Awakening,” joined the efforts on Saturday and are holding often integrated sit ins and other demonstrations to protest laws it considers discriminatory.

The Democracy Spring effort started in Philadelphia, where thousands began a 140-mile walk to the U.S. Capitol to “demand Congress take immediate action to end the corruption of big money in our politics and ensure free and fair elections in which every American has an equal voice.” 

What’s means “the corruption of big money in our politics   ” again the super rich and big cooperation has been dominate this country for so long is US Democracy ? or Plutocracy ?

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.      

4 major Earthquakes happened during Mars Pluto stationary, this is what Mundane Astrologers have warned, major Mundane events usually happened during stationary of Outer planets. Very important that Mars was stationary at 8 degree Sagittarius conjunct with ” Antares ” a fixed stars has Martian nature.

Some scientist suggest we should be more cautious about  the activity of ring of fire area. This warning should be take seriously.

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, Ecuador)

Retrograde Mars conjunct Antares    

It is very special opportunities when Mars stationary or retrograde near Antares, I have found in ancient Chinese astrological records talk about Retrograde Mars in centre of Scorpio constellation  especially conjunct Antares , ancient astrologers in China doest took the conjunction between Mars and Antares seriously. In their view Mars represent War, riots,drought.  When it conjunct Antares is a bad omen for the court (country).

In the ” Records of the Grand Historian ”  The Antares were considers as part of ” Heart mansion ” represent dragon’s hear. The area of  Heart mansion is between Antares to μ¹ Scorpii  which mean between 9 degrees Sagittarius  to 16 degree Sagittarius on the tropical zodiac ( from μ¹ Scorpii is another mansion call ” Tail Mansion ” ). The heart mansion has besically two meaning , one is dargaon’s heart another meaning represetn Emperor’s court (or sky god’s court ).

In the astronomy the Heart mansion contain 2 parts , the south part located in constellation Lupus, called Ji-Zu (積卒)  represent group of Soldiers.  Another part in Scorpion constellation represent dragon’s heart . 3 stars include in this constellation  Antares σ Sco and  τ Sco , Antares also call big fire also rerepsent the Sky Emperor ,  next to  Antares σ Sco represent crown prince of Sky Emperor , the   τ Sco  represent 2nd Son of Sky Emperor.

 The ” Records of the Grand Historian ” also explained Mars’ role in Chinese  astrology , Mars represent unrest, it suggest dispute in the court or war. Especially when Mars stationary  in Heart mansion (near Antares ) or Room Mansion ( Acrab β Scorpius ) suggest problem of  Emperor.

In Han-Shu ( the record of East Han dynasty BCE 206- 23 )

As astrologer report  retrograde Mars  in Heart Mansion  (as a bad omen ) at Spring time 7 CE, the Emperor Cheng of Han dynasty ( name: Liu Ao ) demanded the Prime minister  to commit suicide but very soon after death of Prime Minister Emperor Cheng died . 

Mars retrograde in Heart Mansion also mentioned In the The Treatise on Astrology of the Kaiyuan Era (724 CE) , it said When Retrograde Mars conjunct Antares will change the Minister and the Lord left his court. it suggest fall of important person or death of emperor.

Although Mars was not conjunct Antares but retrograde in Scorpio constellation on zodiac  ” Heart Mansion ” in July 2001 and we see the terrible event of 911 happened, some Chinese astrologer does concerned this tragic related to   Retrograde Mars in dragon heart (Scorpio constellation).

This stationary Mars near Antares was conjunct Burma’s ascendent and Japan’s descendent .

Here is more analyse about this 4 major earthquakes happen between 13-16 April

13 April Myanmar Earthqauke

A 6.9 magnitude earthquake has hit north west Myanmar on Wednesday 13 April, so far there are no death record. The strong earthquake can also be notice in north east India.

New on BBC http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-36038029

Earthquake data from USGS

http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us20005hqz#general

The astrological timing of this quake is interesting, as this week Mars and Pluto both stationary before retrograde. Usually we expect important events happened during outer planet stationary. The earthquake happened at 20:25 local time (13:55 UT) The Moon at event chart located at 16 degrees Cancer, this is sensitive point of recent year as Uranus and Pluto form a cardinal square near this degree. 

From astrological view this earthquake is not totally surprise, I have also gave warning of this country on my lunation forecasting  which published at 3rd April ( It is not an special skill if we check  Eclipse charts, Ingress chart  and care with Outer planet stationary degree). If we check the 9th March 2016 Solar eclipse chart of Mawlaik, Myanmar ( 40 miles from earthquake place ) we will see Uranus on Ascendent and Pluto on M.C with 1 degree orb . In the 23 March Lunar Eclipse chart The Sun Moon opposition right on Asc/Dsc axis.

The Aries ingress chart Venus conjunct Neptune on MC, I usually take Neptune as a sign of Earthquake ( as in the mythology Neptune’s triton could cause earthquake.) Saturn in the Ingress chart also near Descendent. If there is no death record in the end must be Venus blessing but it is too early to say this.   

On the New Moon on 7th April Pluto is 7 degrees away of local IC this will be very clear if we use Astromap.  After We exam all the important chart now we can come to timing of event.

We should not under esteem the power of  Stationary Mars, it is at 8 degrees Sagittarius near the Ascendent of Myanmar and square Mars in Country chart with 1 degree orb. Transit Saturn is right on Myanmar’s Jupiter. Transit Jupiter at 14 degrees of Virgo the Mc of Myanmar. When the event happened the Ascendent is on 19 degrees of Scorpio very close to Myanmar ’s Chiron and south node. The Mc of event chart is on country’s Saturn , The Transiting Neptune is on country’s IC. 

The transiting Moon is very sensitive in this event chart, honestly I rarely see the transiting Moon trigger other chart with exact tight orb like this  event, don’t forget on the Solar Eclipse chart Uranus and Pluto are Paran on the Asc and Mc square each other at 17 and 18 degrees of Cardinal sign which triggered by the transiting Moon of event chart. Part from the 16degrees of Cancer opposite transiting Pluto, square Uranus , Myanmar also have Moon at 17 degrees Libra on the country chart square by transit Moon.     

14 & 16 April 2016 Kumamoto Earthquakes 

One hour after I first published the article of Myanmar earthquake, another Magnitude 6.4 earthquake happened near Kumamoto at 21:26 local time (12:26 UTC). This tragic made 3 dead 200 injured and 20 house collapsed. This is just the foreshocks the Main shock hit Kumamoto at 16 April 1:26 am JST.

This is another country has also effect by Stationary Mars, as Japan Meji constitution chart has 9 degrees Sagittarius Descendent, like Myanmar on the warning area of my Lunation forecasting.      

Transiting Mars station on Dsc is not only warning given by the planet, In the 2016 Aries chart  Japan  have Uranus on Mc this is very important sign of earthquake and for god sake we all know Japan is on the Pacific fire ring where most famous for earthquake, if we read the danger sing on Eclipse and Ingress chart or Important transiting planets affect the country chart a we should treat it carefully   .

With Astro map we can see that Kumamoto is 2 degrees away from Uranus Mc line, also we have Sun Saturn paran very close to this area.

The important Meiji constitution chart has 9 degrees Gemini ascendent therefore station Mars at 8 degree Sagittarius is on Descendent.

Chiron and South Node conjunct Mars and Venus return .

Pluto conjunct conjunct country’s south Node

The event chart of foreshock has Neptune ( again ) on IC .

16 April Main shock has Mercury conjunct IC

The Solar Eclipse chart has Saturn on Descendent and Venus ( again ??? ) on Mc . SE Venus also conjunct Japan Meji constitution chart’s Sun. 

 16 April Ecuador earthquake 

Few hours after Kumamoto earthquake another 7.8 magnitude earthquake hits Ecuador on 18:58 local time on 16 Apr, according BBC news at least 77 people have been killed and injured more than 50.

Pluto is stationary and slowly move retrograde on Ecuador’Asc ( Mars is stationary on Japan and Burma’s Asc Dsc, all these place has contact with Stationary Mars and Pluto )

The sign also suggest by solar Eclipse , check the Solar Eclipse Chart ‘s Astromap Pluto IC and Uranus DS line is near Ecuador. If we look at New Moon chart Pluto Mc and Uranus IC is on Ecuador

New Moon 7th April at 18 Aries

On 7th April we will have Aries New Moon. Some astrologers call this Super New Moon, as this new Moon occurs near the Moon’s perigee (the closest point to earth of the Moon’s orbit). Therefore the Moon will increase its influence.   Aries New Moon brings a strong vitality to our World. If we read this chart symbolically, Aries has the meaning of new born, fresh start, initiate, also the new moon is the starting point of the lunar cycle also having meaning of beginning. So we can apply this energy to the things we want to start with.      

New Moon located on 18 Aries, the ruler Mars in Sagittarius in its slow motion before stationary and retrograde.  Mars also square its ruler Jupiter.

This reception between Mars and Jupiter may suggest that we have a chance to review the belief system (philosophy) behind our actions. Perhaps we will get a chance to see what slows us down and what make us feel restless and frustrated.

 Retrograde of Mars and Pluto

Mars will be stationary at 8 degree Sagittarius from 6th April to 29th April and go retrograde from 17th April.  This is not the only planet go retrograde at this lunar phase, Pluto will also be stationary between 15th -24th April and go retrograde on 18th April at 17 degrees Capricorn.  This New Moon will also trigger the square between Uranus and Pluto. Mars,Pluto and Aries represent survival issues in our life: how to find food; how to fight for food; how to fight for protect ourselves when facing attack and how to express ourselves in order to gain a chance to mate and reproduce.

We may be going to witness many events related to Survival, Violence and Fighting. The New Moon triggers Uranus Pluto square and also adds some flavour of social movement in this fight and strive for protection: how people survive in a changing society and how we survive when the world is not the one you are used?  The Mars square Neptune at this new Moon may be a warning of seafaring problems, drug abuse and epidemic.

The events going to happen this month could develop in the following related lunar phases: Dec 2016, Sep 2017 and Jun 2018.

Where

The areas more likely to be affected are Australia, New Zealand, Central China, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, West coast of America, East Coast of America, Peru, Colombia, Spain, Portugal, Middle East, India, Algeria, Nigeria, West coast of Africa. 

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

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

1st Quarter Moon 14 April   (Sun 24 Aries, Moon 24 Cancer)

This 1st Quarter Moon will have its influence between 14-21 April, We already discussed that Mars and Pluto will be stationary and go retrograde during this time and Sun and Moon both quincunx Mars.  Your action may be paused by lack of motivation or fear.  When Mars and Pluto retrograde, it is the time to go inward rather the outward. When you feel frustrated, or when you want to regain your force, try to ask yourself (or discuss with your close friends or consultant) what stops you from moving forward? We may find our courage by recognising our deep fears and facing them to allow us to continue working on our challenges once Mars goes direct at the end of June.  Another hint that could help us to find a solution to the cause of our frustration (blockage) is this 1st quarter Moon which is linked with the New Moon of 16 Jul 2015 and perhaps events during that New Moon may help explain the current situation.

Major Aspect

Venus square Pluto

Jupiter square Saturn

Saturn square Neptune

Saturn trine Uranus

From 16th April Venus will square Pluto.  On the personal level this suggests: crisis in the financial area;  challenges in personal relationships; and also there could be issues of self-esteem. 

Currently the Jupiter Pluto trine has inflated the confidence of bankers and the financial markets were performing well in the last couple of weeks.  However, Venus square Pluto on the Mundane level raises concerns in the Worldwide financial situation.  This is not only indication of bad economic situations that we see in the sky: Saturn Neptune square are closer from April; Jupiter Saturn square and Saturn Uranus trine are all related to adjustments of the financial markets.

Venus not only relates to Money and Love but also to diplomatic relationships.  It is interesting that the  first quarter moon on 14 April are related to New Moon on 16 Jul 2015, during that time we had: the Greek economic crisis;  a group of Muslim women attacked a woman who was wearing a bikini in a park in France; and 2000 refugees tried to pass through the euro-tunnel causing Eurostar to stop services for a while.   It looks like the worries of the economic situation and refugee/migrant issue will be back in the news in April.
