The 4th April 2015 Lunar Eclipse indeed is a powerful Eclipse as Sun conjunct on Uranus and Square  Pluto , Moon opposite Uranus also square Pluto this trigger last Uranus Pluto square. Uranus is right above Middle heaven in most west European countries this could suggest certain upheaval , more important if countries going to have election like UK.

Just couple days before Lunar Eclipse south Pacific near Samoa and Tonga experience a magnitude 6.4 earthquake . Uranus IC line is near this area on Luna Eclipse chart .

Also a Category 5 high-intensity supertyphoon that looks set to hit Philippines within the next three days , South East Asia is busy area of Aries Ingress chart Mars-As Uranus-As Pluto-Mc all pass that area .

Meanwhile Geodetic Mars-Ds line also near Philippines .Also south China area near Guangdong Hainana , Hong Kong has Chiron Ds pass on the Solar Eclipse Chart , Mars Ds on the Lunar Eclipse .   

1st April 2015 explosion at Mexico oil rig

An explosion and a fire erupted on an offshore oil platform operated by Mexico’s Pemex on Wednesday, killing at least four workers, injuring 16 people. Uranus Ass line pass this area on 4th April 2015 Luna Eclipse . 

The Aries Ingress Neptune Dsc line is near and Saturn IC is 5 degrees away . Also by checking Geodetic map of the area I am more worry about Cuba Haiti Dominic Republic, Peru , Colombia Venezuela .

Religious freedom law and Hatred

Here is Astro map for Lunar Eclipse 4th April 2015, see wha Planet pass by Indiana and Arkansas .

After Indiana governor Mike Pence sign the religious freedom law , the criticisms come from every where. The support say this law meant to protect free exercise of religion however the opponents see this as a legal way to discriminate against the LGBT community under the guise of religious liberty. A pizza shop in Indian already said they will not service on gay widening.Arkansas also passed same law .

http://www.politico.com/story/2015/04/indiana-religious-freedom-pizza-yelp-review-116572.html

Elimination is part function of Pluto , Pluto also relate to hatred , religious freedom is not allowed people practice their religious but carry out elimination discrimination and hatred .

Pluto Mc line on 4th April Lunar Eclipse pass by Indiana and also near Arkansas fit this image.

Another scandalous news from Duke University North Carolina  .An incident in which a noose was found hanging in the Bryan Center plaza on 31 March.

We all know what this means,  as 1960′ Uranus Pluto conjunction relate to Civil right movement  , Uranus Pluto waxing square is revealing the work we have done  and the issues we need to deal with in the future.

This Luna Eclipse trigger Uranus Pluto square with tight orbs , this will not be last hatred event we face but just show that we still have long way to go .

Solar Eclipse Saturn Mc line is only 35 miles aways from Durham North Carolina .

Lunar Eclipse Mars As line is 194 miles away .

Geodetic Uranus As line is also in this area .

 In Astro locality skill Local space is as important as ACG and Geodetic map , it also reveal that energy direction of one place and one particular moment . Astrologer who use Astro map skill usually draw a Local space line and see what kind energy  from which direction .

It is very easy sometime you even don’t need a map , if Jupiter is on your Ascendent or Descendent , then on the Local space map you will have Jupiter Local Space (LS) line across the place you were born. This suggest you will receive Jupiter’s energy either from East or West and if this Line pass by a city let us say New York you will have Jovian experience ( Jupiter ’s influence ) with people or things from this place .

While I am study Astro locality and Air disaster events i apply lots of different of astro mapping skill. Local Space line is one of it . I suppose that both arrival city and departure city have most passenger on board and they receive energy from either departure place or where plan crashed . I use this idea on few different airplane crash it shows very interesting result . I first draw Solar and  Lunar Eclipse chart from the place where airplane suppose to arrive and use Local Space map to find the link between departure city or where airplane has been found. 

4U 9525

First example is Germanwings 4U9525, the Solar Eclipse on Dusseldorf has Uranus and Sun Moon near MC , Mercury Neptune Chiron in 9th , if we draw astro map according to this chat . The Local Space Mercury Neptune and Chiron was between Barcelona to Dusseldorf . 

Lunar Eclipse on 4th April is also very strong , Uranus on Mc and Jupiter on Asc . On the Local space map of Lunar Eclipse Mercury and Node pass by Barcelona but Uranus pass by French Alps area.

AF447 

AF 447 flew from Rio to Paris , most passengers were French , if we use Lunar Eclipse LS map we will see several planet LS lines ( Mars Jupiter Neptune Chiron) linking between Brazil and Paris   . The Solar Eclipse on 22 July 2009 has Pluto link between Brazil and Paris

MH370

Last year same time on 8th of March the MH370 was disappeared near indian ocean , flight was support fly from Kuala Lumper to Beijing. The Solar Eclipse on 3rd November 2013 Neptune  LS line and Chiron LS line link between Beijing and Kuala Lumper and Mars LS line link between south indian ocean (where find debris ) to Beijing .

MH17 

The Lunar Eclipse before MH17 crash is 15 April 2014, the Saturn Local Space line from Kuala Lumper go pass by South East Ukraine where Airplane has been attacked . 

I have to make a clear point i do not exclude ACG line or other tech but in this study I only focus on LS line and arrival city . What I want to say is I will always careful with place where have outer planets on the angle ( where outer planets ACG lines pass on the map ) . For example the Solar Eclipse on 29 April has no outer planet LS line between Ukraine and Kuala Lumper  but Pluto DSC and Jupiter ASCGeodetic lines pass by the  area where  airplane crash it gave us another indication ( or warning ) of this area . Also the Geodetic Pluto Uranus are always near Malaysia suggest unsettle of this area too. 

Another idea is Ingress chart, this is also important timing for mundane events , I dry both Cancer Ingress 2014 before MH17 event there are Mars move from /to Kuala Lumper and Ukraine  

 , and Aries Ingress 2009 before AF447 crash Chiron Jupiter and Node LS was pass between Rio and Paris . This maybe need more study on it .

According news a Germanwings flight 4U 9525 has crashed near French Alps near   Digne-les-Bains arean on 24th March 2015 . This flight departure from Barcelona at 10:01 am  schedule arrive on Dusseldorf  on 11:39 am Local time. flight data from http://uk.flightaware.com/live/flight/GWI9525

Eclipse 

As astrologer we know this moment is not a quiet time as we are near Solar Eclipse and still during Moon Wobble period.

As this Eclipse can be seen in Europe the influence could be direct and strong.  The Solar Eclipse has Sun Moon in 29 Pisces and Ruler Jupiter in 13 degrees Leo 。

If we cast chart from Barcelona Jupiter near Ic .  There is no angular planet near the Asc/Dsc and Mc/IC Axis. I would like to point out that Saturn just turn retrograde from Station on 4 Sagittarius  , last July when Saturn Uranus station we had 3 airplanes crashed .  

Aries Ingress 

If we check Aries Ingress chart we will see Mercury conjunct Chiron and Neptune near IC of Dusseldorf and Barcelona . It is very often that outer planet conjunct the angles in the Ingress chart and Eclipse chart  when the huge mundane events happened at that time. 

Company chart 

Germanwings found on 27 Oct 2002 if we use midnight chart have 13 degree Aries where transit Uranus is there, the Saturn in on 29 degrees of Gemini square by Solar Eclipse , transiting Saturn is just turn retrograde on 4 degree Sagittarius near company’s South Node  .

Country chart 

I don’t know what Germany ’s chart would German Astrologer use , I check the book of world horoscope and find few different charts . The  Federal Republic of Germany and constitution were set up on 23 May 1949 and East West Germany were united on 3rd Oct 1990 . I try to look both Charts and they all mean something , however if anyone would like to give some advise about what chart of Germany you use , I will really happy to know .

1949 chart  have 5 degree Libra ascendent and Eclipse point is very close to Dsc and it square 1949 charts Uranus ( 28 Gemini ) in 9th . 1949 chart has retrograde Mercury on 17Gemini in 9th House and transiting Chiron square it with 1 degree orb. Transiting Saturn conjunct 1949’s Chiron on 3rd house cusp and  opposite 1949’s Sun right on 3-9 House cusps.  

Unification chart 1990 has 4 degree Leo Asc and 10 degrees Aries Mc , transiting Uranus and South Node is very close to MC  . 1990’s chart has Mercury on 25 Virgo opposite by Eclipse point . Transiting Chiron exact conjunct  the 1990’s Moon in 9th ,transiting Pluto is conjunct Neptune and Saturn . 

Take off chart 

I don’t really think taking off chart give much  information and not very useful for forecasting and prediction. According radar record 4U 9529 was schedule on 9:35 am but take off on 10:01 am, take off chart has Jupiter ( Eclipse ruler ) on IC and Saturn on Dsc . It is very interesting to know that Saturn just turn  retrograde .

ON the Astromap of take off chart 4U 9529 was flew along the LS Pluto line . 

The Eclipse chart has no any outer planet near this area however the Geodetic map suggest that Geodetic Pluto is on 180 miles away from Barcelona , Uranus is 400 miles away from where we lost contact with Germanwings 4U 9529. 

This year we have a Solar Eclipse on 20 March and perhaps I can see it in London if there is good weather (wish me good luck). However ancient astrologers  may not have been happy to see a Solar Eclipse as they were usually considered to be a predictor of tragic events.

Water , Fire , Celebrities, United Kingdom  

Sun and Moon on water sign suggests the event could link with water, sea and flooding. The ruler of Eclipse is Jupiter in Leo, as Leo is a fire sign this suggests the wild fire and war may cause big problems.   Leo rules important people which suggests the country leaders and famous people, especially the Royal family, are going to face challenges.

United Kingdom is one of the countries that is going to be affected by this solar eclipse, not only is it located in the Solar Eclipse zone, also the 29 degrees of Pisces is important for UK. 

UK’s 1066 chart have Moon in 29 Pisces and this should not be ignored.  Maybe a new cycle of British Royal family going to begin, and we can expect a big change in the British Royal family.  Dramatic Political change in UK may be another effect,  as UK has a general election in May, the Eclipse point on 1066 chart’s Moon could indicate a dramatic change. Moon rules 1066 chart’s IC, repent opposition party, lands, house price, people’s need , food and agriculture, these are all areas to  focus on. 

Where else ? Astromap and Geodetic map indication  

According the ancient rules, the northern Europe (UK,  Ireland and North Europe countries ) may face a huge impact immediately, especially as Pluto is right on Norway-Sweden area’s Dsc , if we use Astro map we can see it very clearly that Pluto Ds line passes Oslo and Stockholm and Neptune Mc line is also next to Stockholm.  This means that if you draw a Solar Eclipse chart using Stockholm as the location, you will see Neptune on Mc and Pluto on Dsc. This will be the place experiencing huge solar eclipse energy. 

 Iceland is near the Solar Eclipse zone and it has Transit Saturn on Mc during Solar Eclipse, Saturn was station right on MC before Solar Eclipse this suggest important shifting  for power , Transiting Pluto is conjunct on Iceland Mars, Solar Eclipse point on Iceland ’s Chiron , this suggest Iceland could be another place where  we have to pay more attention .

Now let us look at other areas on the Astro map:  Spain, Portugal (which has Des on 28 Pisces in country chart ), Poland, Ukraine, Russia, Bulgaria, Turkey, Iran,  Syria (where unsettle as IS takes over), Iraq, Omen, Saudi Arabia.  Iran and almost whole Middle East has outer planet on Angle in Solar Eclipse chart . Most West African countries have Saturn on Descendent of Solar Eclipse chart.

China and SE Asia countries have Neptune Chiron Saturn.  As Neptune and Saturn are going to Square this year, an economic slowdown may come into effect in this area after Spring 2015.  Transiting Saturn is stationary on China’s Natal Chiron in 10th House weakness of this country should be careful  ,  Australia is another hot spot of this Eclipse, Mars cross there, could it suggest a wild fire or some other shocking event?

East coast of America (US and Canada) has Saturn, west coast has Mars Uranus effect which is not to be ignored,  as recently several cases suggest, US people are against their police force  abusing their power.  Brazil is another country that will be unsettled this year. 

Geodetic map is another useful skill, as outer planet move slowly on Geodetic map , this give us a clear idea about where in the world we should be careful.  It shows Eclipse degree is on UK.  Uranus and Mars are going to affect East Europe. 

New York and east coast of US, Haiti, Colombia and Chile are going to experience Pluto energy and should be aware that a big crisis could happen in that area. In Asia Geodetic Pluto and Uranus is already having a huge impact in South East Asia since last year: Malaysia had an Air plane crash and political issue.  Mars line passes by Beijing and Hong Kong indicative that danger, violence, political unsettlement and struggle could happen in this area.      

This article was written for online mundane astrological magazine INFINITY found by Smiljana Gavrancic , so I only post small part of it and if you are interested in this article , I will post the link once INFINITY is published .

Outer planet stationary usually has powerful impact on Mundane event from Political to Economic . Most financial astrologer observe the unsettle of  financial market during the period when outer planet change direction and stationary. In March 2015 Saturn will stationary on  4 degrees 55 Sagittarius from 11th March to 19th March and we all know that  an Eclipse  will happen on 20th March also this is the time of last Uranus Pluto exact square (trigger by Mars )  . What does this mean ? Where going to be effected ? I am very very curious . I would like to study the last Stationary on 2014 and to see what we can learn from there.

Last year most powerful stationary was happened on 20-21 Jul when both Saturn and Uranus station together.   Saturn was station on 16 degree of Scorpio and Uranus was stationary on 16 degree of Aries .

During that time we were focus on Russia Ukraine conflict , at sometime international criticise about  Israel strike on Palestine school and civilian area .  If we check Ukraine independent chart on 1 Dec 1991 we will find Moon on 17 Libra opposite Uranus station degree . The Ukraine proclaim  independent chart have 13 Scorpio and Pluto on 17 Scorpio  where stationary Saturn right above .

Israel has south Node on 14 Scorpio and Palestine proclaim independent chart has 8 degree Libra Asc , stationary Uranus near Descendent and opposite Chart ruler Venus on 19 Libra . Station Saturn was on 16 Scorpio conjunct Palestine ’s Pluto Mercury Sun stellium in Scorpio. 

2014 was not  a good year of Malaysia Airlines , after MH370 disappeared on 8th of March , another flight MH17 was crushed near Ukraine Russia border by attacked by missile . Malaysia ’s chart has Jupiter retrograde on 17 degree Aries where transiting stationary Uranus located . Malaysia airline has two founded time 21 May 1946 has Mercury on 13 Aries and 1 Oct 1972 chart has Chiron on 15 degree Aries opposite Mercury on 15 Libra and Uranus on 17 Libra, both chart has planet near 16 Aries where Uranus stationary . 

Another Asian airline also have airplane crushed on 22 July 2014 . TransAsia airway ,a Taiwanese airline, has an airplane  crushed on 22 July 2014 ( TransAsia also other airplane crushed on 4 Feb 2015  )This company was founded 21 May 1951,  has Mc on 16 Scorpio and Moon on 20 Scorpio. 

Very interesting that both stationary Planets were locate on Mars ruler sign on 20-21 Jul 2014, and all the area affected has Mars influence on Geodetic map . Could this suggest the ruler of Stationary planet play an  important role ? 

From these data I suspect that Countries and Organisation which has planet or As/Mc Axis near  degree near transiting outer planet stationary are easily affect by that Planet . So I have use Data bank to list those countries which has Sun Moon Asc Mc Axis near 4 degree Sg.

Sri lanka independent  chart has Moon on 4 degree Sg, Latvia Ukraine , UAE , Mexico constitution chart have all have Moon opposite 4 degree Sg.

Dominican rep, Ukraine, UAE, Lebanon has the Sun near 4 degree Sg. 

Burma , China ( 21 Sep 1949 ) , Costa Rica , Croatia . Irland ,Vietnam have Ascendent near 4 degree Sg and Japan Meji constitution ,  Indonesia , Singapore , Spain all will have Stationary Saturn near Descendent  . 

China ( 1 Oct  1949) , Dominican Republic , South Africa, Lebanon   , Iceland all have Mc near 4 degrees Sg.

I am very new of Geodetic map but this technic  always surprise me , so I draw a map of  Geodetic outer Planet location ( includes Mars ) of this time and this maybe give us some idea about affected areas , those location should be careful observe  as 20 March 2015 Solar Eclipse is also not far from now .

On 13th January 2015 the international oil price hit its lowest point, under $60.  Everyone is starting to wonder when this drop is going to stop.  Some people have said that the oil price will never go above $100 again. Although for some countries a low oil price helps the economy, but some people are worried that the low oil price suggests that the World economy is in crisis again .

As  Mundane astrologers we have no doubt that the economy will face some big challenges in 2015 as Jupiter/Saturn is in its waning square (so called 270 degree ) and also Saturn/Neptune is also in the waning square. Both Jupiter/Saturn and Saturn/Neptune are important World economic indicators in financial astrology.  We have no reason to be optimist for the future economic situation.

Therefore I would like to apply some prices skills what I learned from Financial astrologer Olga Morales.

This technique takes important price changing dates and examines the planet aspect on that dates, if there is a pair of planets that draw your attention then single it out.

Use 45 degrees Graphic Ephemeris we can see the planetary movement, check the next time this pair of planets forms a hard aspect and check the price. Usually you will find the price changing when the same pair of planets forms a hard aspect. Here is the example of oil price. I have to say that I am not great in investment and finances so if you find mistake in the data or in financial terminology and want to help me to correct it I will be really appreciative.

Last time crude oil price hit the highest point was on 11th Jul  2008, the price was $147 per bbl and then it started to drop. That was when Mars formed a hard aspect with both Jupiter and Saturn .

The oil price hit the lowest price of under $50 per bbl on 28 Dec 2008 and started to come back , that was happen during Mars conjunct Pluto in Capricorn .

So I pick up this 3 sets of planetary aspects from transit and see how they influence oil price.

After the oil price improved and hit a high point on 23 Jul 2011 at this time, Mars on Gemini semi square Jupiter on Taurus. From then until 8 Aug 2011, the price dropped from $118 to $103. Mars opposite Pluto and form T square with Uranus.

The oil price was steady  in early 2014 and then began to drop from 20th Jun 2014.

We can see Mars was waning square Pluto (270 degrees ) in 20th Jun 2014 and Sun should be near Cancer cardinal point when the oil price started to drop.

Here is an interesting observation, during late October and early November, Mars first formed a sesquiquadrate with Jupiter when the oil prices stopped dropping for a few days and when it conjunct Pluto starting another Mars Pluto cycle the price started to drop again.

The oil price hit new low on 13th Jan 2015. On that day Mars semi square Pluto.  Could this suggest that Mars’s aspect with Jupiter and Pluto (possibly including Uranus) could indicate oil price change?

If so, perhaps the oil price will change significantly on the following dates:

1. near 20 Feb  when Mars sesquiquadrate Jupiter

2. near 10th March when Mars conjunct Uranus square Pluto. Beware this is also when the Moon wobbles happens near the solar Eclipse and at the same time there is Saturn Stationary.

3. Near 17th April, Mars square Jupiter (near Jupiter stationary and going to direction and near Pluto Stationary, also Chiron comes to 0 degrees of declination)

4. 12th May 2015 Mars forms a Hard aspect with Pluto.

Here is second half part of 2015, I highlight the Important time when financial astrology indicators form aspect or stationary .

Really sad to hear about what happened this morning in Paris , 2 gunman attacked Paris  news paper Charlie Hedo ( means Charlie Weekly ) . 12 people was killed and 10 injured , this news really made me angry and sad . I used to living in Paris and I understand that sometime foreigner are  difficult to accept European humours however I can not agree with violence and killing .

Charlie Hebdo is a  is a French satirical weekly newspaper, on November 2011  weekly news paper published a controversial issue related to Muhammad and Islam law  maybe the reason of this tragedy .

From astrologer’s view I would like to study this event and to share what I can explain so far .

Event chart , Shutting happen around 11 AM in Paris , Ascendent was on 25 degrees Pisces  and Chiron is not far. As I know someone did suggest the exact time are around 11.35 am (Thanks for Izabela Podlaska-Konkel ‘s information )

Moon was 11 degree Leo opposite Venus , trine Uranus and quincunx Pluto. ( If we allow wide orb it will form another quincunx with Chiron as a Yod  ) .  Sun semi square Saturn and still square Uranus and conjunct Pluto. Mars opposite Jupiter and Square Saturn semi square Uranus . Saturn square Neptune and  Uranus still conjunct S.Node and we never ignore Uranus Pluto square , Pluto sextile Chiron  . Neptune right on Pisces Ascendent  is a important signature of this event , Mercy , religion , confused, idealism , kindness and tolerance , as Neptune are square Saturn at the moment , Saturn challenge us would you be nice and tolerance with people who see the world different with you ?  

So/Mo mid point connect Chiron , As /Mc connect Moon, Mars soon Saturn Jupiter mid point . 

4. I usually check Eclipse chart , eclipses happened on 23 Oct 2014 11:56 pm in Paris , this chart has 27 degrees Cancer Ascendent and 4 degree Aries Mc. There is no angular planet , Sun Moon and Venus on Scorpio. Mercury opposite Uranus on Mc / IC axis and conjunct Nodal axis suggest this kind of shocking news are going to happen on this Eclipse season.   Mars at 28 degree of Sagittarius was sextile Sun Moon Venus .Hard aspect is Jupiter square Saturn and Uranus square Pluto. 

5. Once thing really catch my eyes as Mars of Eclipse chart is Eclipse ruler and it is conjunct Galactic center  ( GC at 27 degree Sagittarius ) , we usually experience disruption and social upheaval when outer planet near Galactic center usually . Many important military conflicts between Israel and Pakistan happened when Mars passed through this point. For instance, in the end of 2008 and 2012 when Mars passed through the Galactic Centre, there were military action from Israel to Pakistan on both occasions. In 1963 when J. F. Kennedy was assassinated, and in 1961 when the States decided to deploy troops to the Vietnam War, Mars was passing through the Galactic Point too. Mars conjunct Galactic center on Eclipse suggest a strong Martian energy maybe spread world widely for this Eclipse season.

6. The Capricorn Ingress chart at Paris has Virgo rising , this happen just few hours before new moon , on this chart Sun Moon semi square Mars , Mars semi sextile Chiron and Pluto. Moon is on 28 Sagittarius conjunct October Solar Eclipse chart ’s Mars . I like discuss a little bit about semi sextile here , as this aspect are usually be under estimated .

This aspect suggest the place where we can not see , somewhere or something that we ignored and we usually feel annoyed by things that we can not see. A conflict cause by culture differences , a humour made people feel offensive , these feeling are very similar to semi sextile. 

7. I use France 5th Republic chart the date is 5 Oct 1958 0.00am , this chart has Sun conjunct Node this tell us that there eis a Eclipse happen right after country;s birthday. And This 5th Republic is on it’s Nodal return soon and as it’s Saturn in 21 degrees Sagittarius this suggest Saturn return will be soon  .      

Eclipse Sun Moon conjunct 5th Rep Chart’s Neptune, Neptune opposite 5th Rep chart’s Pluto and Square Mars  , this is another Neptune signature , as Event chart has Neptune rising .This moment Uranus Pluto are square 5th Rep’s Sun .

Eclipse Jupiter  conjunct 5th Rep Chart’s Uranus and opposite Chiron, suggest a Xenophobic atmosphere   and make people focus on religion and foreigner issues in this country.  (Another things related to GC point is Saturn was conjunct GC point twice , one in early 1958 and another time in the end of 1958)

8. Country leader’s birth chart usually can also explain things happen in this country . Mr Hollande has 07 Gemini Ascendent and 6 Aquarius M.C . Transiting Saturn is near his DSC. 

His Moon on 17 degrees Capricorn conjunct his North Node at 14 degrees Capricorn , Transit Pluto is right on his N.Node and approach his Moon .   He has Jupiter at 17 Cancer Uranus Pluto are going to hit this point. His Sun at 18 Leo conjunct Pluto on 24 Leo and Transiting Jupiter is here at the moment . I think 2015 2016 will be his big challenge year. Don’t forget he also has Mars on 26 Sagittarius  like Solar Eclipse chart.  

I would like to check the birth date of Charlie Hebdo ‘s found chart but I only know the original weekly  magazine was created  February 1969 and change name  at 1970 . That is still Uranus Pluto conjunction and we are int the end of Uranus square Pluto. 1969 Uranus was conjunct Jupiter and opposite Chiron , and we have Uranus semi square Chiron . The outer planet cycles are helping us to understand more about this tragedy.

Recently, the comet C/2014 Lovejoy Q2 changed its magnitude and became visible to the naked eye. This surprising news has not only raised astronomers’ interest, astrologers also ask what does this mean. In my recent article entitled  “Comet in Astrology” which was published in Astrological Journal 2014 Nov.Dec issue,  I did summarise some ancient views of comets. If you are interested,the link to this article is on the astro.com website:

http://www.astro.com/astrology/aa_article141030_e.htm.

Comets are from the distant, cold and dark extremities of the solar system, approaching the Sun under the effect of its gravity. As they get close to the Sun, they enter our observable range. Temperature increases and ice start to evaporate and release the gases as a comet gets nearer to the Sun. Then, under the effect of radiation and solar winds, an illuminated tail start to appear, the comet’s trademark. Many comets will be burnt and split into pieces or even disappear when they pass close to the Sun, and great comets may split into several smaller ones, some of which will disappear after they pass the perihelion.

C/2014 Lovejoy Q2 is visible from end of December 2014 until end of January 2015. 

It passes through the constellations Lepus and Eridanus. It will become very bright when it enters the constellation Taurus on 4th Jan 2015 and move into Aries after mid January, finally coming to its perihelion on 30th January.

Token of Doom and a year of Surprise 

Ancient astrologers usually associated comets with disaster and upheaval. When a comet appeared in the sky, the ancient astrologer took it as a yearly signature, this suggested that there would be one year of unsettlement and surprise in our world.   I always feel that comets are associated with surprises, upheavals, release, important inventions and unpredictable events. Even with our knowledge and techniques we cannot predict the arrival of a new comet until it comes closer to the Earth.  C/2014 Lovejoy Q2  was only discovered on 17 August 2014, 4 months before we can see it with the naked eye.

Ancient Astrologers did take the siting of a comet seriously, viewing it  as a bad omen, a token of doom. Comets are associated with taboos in people’s heart. Whenever people see comets, they immediately believe that something unlucky, disastrous and extreme is going to happen. However, what do astrologers consider when they give predictions regarding comets?

SIGN and ELEMENT 

First, consider the sign and its element which the comet passed by. For example, fire signs are usually associated with fire hazards, wars and slaughters, water signs with rainstorms and tsunamis, earth sign with droughts and food shortage, and wind signs with hurricanes.

As the data suggest C/2014 Lovejoy Q2 becomes visible near the constellation Taurus and Aries , this suggest that we should consider Earth  and Fire elements: Food, Economics, Financial, War and Slaughter.

Fixed stars or the image of the Sign

Second, consider fixed stars or the image of the sign. For example: Taurus could be linked to issues related to cattle; Pisces could be about issues with oceans and fishery; and Sagittarius could be about wars. The comet’s effect could also be related to what is symbolised by the sign or fixed stars where the comet is currently located. 

Traditional astrologers even believe that every country has its own representing sign. So when a comet is in a certain sign, countries represented by that sign could suffer disasters. For example, when a comet was in Taurus in 1678, William Lilly pointed out that it would affect Poland and Russia.

Some astrologers have already pointed out that Ancient astrologers like William Lilly and Guido Bonatti associated Taurus with Poland, Cyprus and Russia and this fits Russia’s current economic situation.

However if we project comet Lovejoy’s path on the Tropical Zodiac, we will have more information and this will emphasise that the Taurus theme has been seriously affected. 

An example that suggests we should not only look at the constellations but also look at tropical area was when the 2013 Cyprus economic crisis happened, Comet Panstarr (C/2011 L4) could be seen in early degree Taurus in mid April. 

Now I will consider the other constellations on the visible path of C/2014 Lovejoy Q2.

1. Eridanus: the river, water, flood.  We maybe should careful about floods tsunami and water pollution.

2. Lepus: rabbits, hares, and all types of small mammal. Could suggest they bring some communicable disease or cause some problem?

3. Triangulum: also represent as Saturn’s sickle cut and agriculture , this constellation also related to  Peresphone/Demeter.  Suggests surprising measurements, disaster through mis-measurement,  familial discord and missing children.  

Although it will not contact any fixed stars on its path, it will be very close to the Pleiades, usually meaning eyesight and tears, and if we check the myth of the Eridanus constellation, that also indicates sadness as Phaethon fell into this river after being struck by Zeus.  Both this and the link with Persephone, represented by Triangulum, both link to lost children.

Planets

Third, we can consider which planets form a conjunction with the comet. For example, when a comet passes by Mercury, it may bring forth issues related to transportation and bridges.

This year C/2014 Lovejoy Q2 will contact with the Moon suggesting issues with Food, Agriculture, Sea, Fishing, mother/children relations and our emotions. 

Fourth, we can consider which houses the comet visits. This is a rather special case, in which astrologers need to cast a chart when they witness the comet. For example, the famous astrologer Tycho Brahe cast a chart by this method and predicted a disaster which would kill thousands of people. However I will not use this technique until I see it  in the sky. 

Fifth, we consider the colour of the comet. When astrologers observe comets, they pay attention to their colours and thus determine their properties. If it has the same grey tone like Saturn, astrologers would believe that this comet would bring forth incidents which have similar themes or properties of Saturn. Sometimes, comets would change colour from time to time, like from white to grey. In 1680, William Knight documented that the comet he observed that year had a grey tone like Saturn initially, thus leading to issues related to lack of resources and politics. Several months later, it turned bright and it implied themes and issues related to Jupiter. Although no suffocating stress or pressure was related, there was a rise of problems related to religion and law, and this was not the last time this comet changed its colour. It finally turned red, and Knight believed it was an obvious implication about thefts and robberies. Tycho Brahe also applied this when observing comets.

At this moment C/2014 Lovejoy Q2 appears a green colour. William Lilly only relates Pale Green to the Moon and some astrologers suggest green could be the colour of Jupiter and Venus. Could it suggest or emphasise a Feminine, food, or financial theme?   I wish it would also bring the beneficial influences of Jupiter and Venus. 

The shape of comets differs from one another. Sometimes they look like a fireball with a short coma, and sometimes when they have a long coma they are described as “a long sword” implying war and assassination. Sometimes, the tip of the coma is described as a “dagger”.  

The interesting image of comet Lovejoy  has a dim green light , just like a tinny little green light bulb with a long slim  bend stock . I do feel familiar but  I can not find where I saw this image while I was working on this Article .  Next morning I just realised where  I saw this image before it was from the Hermit card of Thoth tarot , in this card Hermes ’s caduceus was represent like this ( in a Comet or  Sperm tail form ), in Thoth tarot Hermit is Thoth-Hermes on his way to help Demeter to free Persephone. Maybe A light , a hope, a seed, a new life ,  and the story of Demeter / Persephone is repeat here again. 

 After I publish this article online my best friend Astrologer Mandi Lockley pointed out that ” Lovejoy” was also a popular UK TV character in the 80s/90s? “Lovejoy is a trickster, a swindling art and antiques dealer who seems to get caught up in devious deals and `get rich quick’ schemes. But you can’t help liking Lovejoy, who has a talent for finding hidden treasures. When he’s not out for himself, he uses his skills as a con man to help the less fortunate and less sneaky.”  Thanks Mandi for this contribution and I to think inspiring. This is how Myth works and maybe ” Lovejoy ” can bring this ” new myth” meaning of finding hidden treasure and trickster hero into our world in 2015.

To conclude: C/2014 Lovejoy Q2’s appear to suggest 2015 may not be full of “Love and Joy”. As the astrological indications for this comet are about Food, missing children, Finance,  Economics,  Flood and perhaps some small animal problems. Also, as well as using the comet, we should not forget the rest of the sky. This year we have Uranus square Pluto and Saturn square Neptune around March to April and we have Jupiter square Saturn in the Summer. Financial astrologers usually see Jupiter-Saturn and Saturn-Neptune as important economic shift indicators and maybe C/2014 Lovejoy Q2’s path to Taurus is another indicator of this outer planet theme. 

Although astrologers don’t really apply comets on a personal level, I will suggest if you have personal planets on these signs and degree where comet is going to pass. Also, if you were born in a year that had a visible comet in the sky.  You had better use this unpredictable energy to shine, to be creative, to surprise yourself and to surprise people around you. 

Famous singer Lady gaga was born in 1986. Early that year, comet Halley was visible in the sky.  In the End of 2007 she was introduced to producer Redone and together they wrote  Lady Gaga’s debut single “Just dance”.  In 2007, Comet McNaught could be seene by the naked eye and it passed Lady Gaga’s So/Mo 24 Cardial and Ac/ Ic Midpoint 0 Fixed. 

As another example, I was born at early 1973 and in that year comet Kohoutek became visible in the sky (although not as bright as expected). 

I have had some interesting experiences related to comets. Comet Panstarrs started to be seen by people on 12^th February 2013, and that was just before my birthday. The comet was in the beginning of Aquarius where my natal Venus locates. In March, when the comet passed through Pisces where my natal Mercury is located, I started to be attracted by comets, and sought opportunities to observe them and study related astrological documentation and publications. Comets always bring new ideas to us. If you inspired to read further about comets then the link to my “Comet in Astrology” is:

From BBC An AirAsia Indonesia airliner flying from Indonesia to Singapore with 162 people on board has lost contact with air traffic control. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-30614627

Really sorry to hear that Air Aisa flight QZ8501 went missing , I give all my best wish and hope everyone on board is safe. 

No one like tragedy , Astrologer either . Since early this year Malaysia airline MH370 disappeared in the sky , we have 3 major air plane crash in the summer, and now another one and related to this area again. 

I think astrologers who use the Geodetic mapping system will not totally surprise about this , we may not know when but we know this area is not quiet. Transit Geodetic Pluto is right on Singapore at the moment, this is our major concern this area , include west Malaysia, west Indonesia , Singapore. 

The report suggest airplane lost contact from 7:24am , and some people will use this data which i don’t really think it is astrological relevant. Take off time is most important not missing time or last contact as the event may or may not happened right after last contract, and we have no idea where airplane was at that moment. 

However i usually check eclipse and ingress chart of both location before jump into take off time , as important event , it will not only show by transit of event chart , Eclipse and Ingress charts give us important information of local area . 

1. New Moon 22 Dec 2014 in Surabaya has  Mars conjunct Asc and opposite Jupiter conjunct Dsc.

2. Full Moon 6 Dec 2014 in Surabaya has Uranus conjunct Mc and Pluto conjunct Dsc, Jupiter Square Saturn . Same chart relocate to Singapore has Uranus and Pluto near the angle but not exact but if you check next Full Moon ( only about one weeks time ) We will have Uranus on Asc and Pluto Sun conjunct Mc with very tight degrees . 

3. Although we did not fing any important signature  on Eclipse of Surabaya area , but if we look Singapore ’s Eclipse chart we will find the clues . On the 2014 Oct Singapore Lunar Eclipse chart We have Pluto conjunct Mc and Uranus on Asc ,  Moon on Asc conjunct Uranus and Opposite Sun on Dsc .

On the 2014 Oct Singapore Solar Eclipse chart Uranus on Dsc opposite Mercury on Asc and both planets square Pluto on IC . 

4. On the Capricorn Ingress chart of Surabaya , Pluto on Asc Uranus on IC .

According the take off information , take off time is 5:20 AM from Surabaya Indonesia . Jupiter on 9th house cusp, opposite Mars , Chiron on Ic . 

If we check the take off chart ’s Astro Map there is no strong planet line on both city part form Neptune and Chiron are near Singapore  but if we use Geodetic map we will know that Pluto is right on Singapore.

If we also check the Local space of take of time , we will find that between Singapore is on the take off chart’s Mars and Jupiter line.  

I just read the news that Microsoft announce that they are going to step by step drop Nokia’s name and use Microsoft Lumia for its mobile brand. Which mean that Nokia maybe going to disappear from mobile phone market.

I am a bit upset as my first phone was a Nokia 6110 and before I switch to I Phone I was a Nokia fan . This news make me curious about Nokia’s natal chart , as this time i am not going to focus on Stock I am not interesting on first trading chart but company chat . I went on wikipedia blimey …Nokia is an long history company according wikipedia the found on 1865 at Tampere Finland, almost 150 years .

So that I continued investigate the exact date and find out that Nokia was granted an operating permit by the Senate on 12 May 1865. This is the birthday of Nokia and I will use Sun rise and Midaday chart , if it is a modern company I will use  sun rise or mid night chart for a country or an organisation which exists or operated form certain date  but I prefer use sun rise or mid day chart for a company as  company are most likely  running their business during the day time . 

Transit Saturn opposite Nokia ’s Sun , Transit Mars pass by their Jupiter and opposite Uranus during the Solar Eclipse.

If we use Mid-day chart Nokia will have 6 degree Virgo and Transit Neptune is near descendent and of course Saturn is on Ic where represent foundation of this company. 

 If we use Sun rise chart Nokia will have 10 degree Capricorn M.C and Transit Pluto is right above .

This company is also going to have its 3rd Chiron return . 

Nokia has 0 degree of Scorpio North node just hit by the Solar Eclipse on 24 Oct 2014, could this Eclipse suggest Nokia going to disappear or Nokia going to regain more energy to rise like a phoenix ? (sorry I am not a Conchita fans but an Eurovision fan ). 

Let us check secondary progression chart the moon was on 10 degree Gemini and SP Mars conjunct Natal Saturn , SP Pluto right on Venus, SP Saturn conjunct North node , I know we usually not look at North node on SP chart but this is a 150 years old company, I am really curious when was Nokia ’s sp saturn exact conjunct natal north node and found out it was end of 2006 early 2007 , that was the time Nokia ’s business decline as it mis judge the effect of launch of I-Phone and the wrong strategy of smartphone operation system. 

2014 Solar Arc Saturn is conjunct Chiron and Solar Arc Jupiter move to 21 degree Taurus and Soar Arc Uranus move to 21 Scorpio.  This is another hint suggest a new chance of Nokia if the company can use this chance to transfer their business. 

Could Nokia come back to Market ?

I have double check the business news and understands that Nokia did sale Mobile depart mend to Microsoft last year and before 2016 Nokia was unable to make mobile phone with Nokia name . 

 However at the moment  Nokia are also work with other mobile system such as Android system which means the company are still interesting in mobil business but could they get chance when the contract end in 2016 ? By that time Transit pluto will move out conjunction with Natal  MC , in sun rise chart Solar Arc Jupiter Uranus opposition still on Asc Axis. The Midday chart’s Soar Arc Neptune will conjunct Asc , this is not a strong sign for new mobile phone but maybe it get into entire different area as graphic or image ? 

I read a news last week talk about Microsoft are killing  Nokia, could this be true ? An famous mobile phone company are going to disappear in Microsoft’s hand ? If I check the astro map of Sun rise chart Pluto Ds line are very near  Redmond Washington , Pluto is god of death and come form where Microsoft located , very interesting isn’t it ?

 However  I don’t really take it in this way , as Midday cahrt’s Astro map has Moon Local space line near same place and Uranus Jupiter line near there too , I hope there still a chance Microsoft experience can change Nokia and help it .
