survivors' desperate wait for aid goes on.

Last year, when NASA's IBEX (Interstellar Boundary Explorer) spacecraft discovered a giant ribbon at the edge of the solar system, researchers were mystified. They called it a "shocking result" and puzzled over its origin. Now the mystery may have been solved. "We believe the ribbon is a reflection," says Jacob Heerikhuisen, a NASA Heliophysics Guest Investigator from the University of Alabama in Huntsville. "It is where solar wind particles heading out into interstellar space are reflected back into the solar system by a galactic magnetic field.

Full Moon at 10 degrees Virgo

16:39 GMT.

The Full Moon is tightly opposite Jupiter

http://planetaryapothecary.com/tag/full-moon/

The Full Moon in Virgo is always a tense and brittle affair. This particular lunation coincides with a lot of planetary activity. There is a lot going on.

This Full Moon is the second one after the Partial Lunar Eclipse on 31st Dec. 2009 in Cancer and the 4th Full Moon before the Partial Lunar Eclipse on June 26th in Capricorn.

The Full Moon in Virgo is opposite Jupiter in Pisces. This is a very 'Over the Top' arrangement. Mercury is conjunct Neptune in Aquarius. This alignment is separating but is casts a sublime intelligence on the whole weekend. Venus is conjunct Uranus in Pisces, symbolizing a flash of the collective anima, watch out for unexpected feminine reactions. Mars, retrograding towards his station is early Leo, is sextile Saturn in early Libra. There is the power to apply and organise. Saturn still squares Pluto, an echo and a rumble of trouble close at hand, and Jupiter sextiles Pluto, international power plays. The majority of planets are in water and air signs. There is fizz!

This Full Moon hits the personal planets of many charts in the Daze collection. Amongst these is a direct hit on the natal moons of the Dalai Lama, Madonna, and Robert Mugabe, and the natal Mars of George W Bush, Joan Collins, Pete Burns and Stephen Gerrard. The natal Plutos of Jim Carey and Tom Cruise are also hit.

At the moment of Full Moon today the Moon rises at Vienna. The Moon Sun and Jupiter are aligned to Hong Kong. Mercury culminates at washington DC, Saturn rises at Baghdad, Mars sets at melbourne,Venus sets at Cairo and Khartoum, Uranus sets at Nairobi.

The 8.8 quake is one of the biggest ever recorded and the largest to hit Chile in 50 years. Globally at this time Mars was on the Neptune Pluto midpoint, locally Saturn was conjunct the Midheaven of the earthquake chart set for the epicenter. The lunar nodal axes straddled the local horizon.

Today , Mars Express will fly past Phobos at a distance of only 67 km, the closest any spacecraft has ever been to this mysterious moon of Mars. The purpose of the flyby is not to take pictures but to map the gravity field of Phobos and, thus, to determine its internal structure. Spacecraft cameras will be turned off during the encounter to provide a clean "carrier signal" for the radio-gravity experiment. Hi-res images will be made, however, on March 7th during a follow-up flyby at a range of 107 km. Follow the action at the ESA flyby blog.

THE MYSTERY OF PHOBOS: Something is wrong with Phobos. The martian moon

looks like a solid, but it is not as dense as a rocky solid should be. Some researchers

think Phobos might be riddled with vast caverns; others say it is just a "rubble pile"

masquerading as a solid body. To solve the mystery, Europe's Mars Express spacecraft

is making a series of close Phobos-flybys this month. March 10th update: According to

gravity-field data just beamed back from Mars Express, mass is not evenly distributed

throughout the moon’s interior. A detailed analysis is underway by ESA researchers. Stay tuned

Friday April 16th 2010

Flights across much of Europe will be severely disrupted well into Saturday because of drifting ash ejected from a volcano in Iceland, officials said. Much of the airspace across northern and western Europe has been closed and air control officials said some 17,000 flights would be cancelled on Friday. Hundreds of thousands of passengers in Europe and around the world have been affected by the disruptions. Scientists say the volcano is still erupting but producing less ash.

In the skies of Earth Saturn is applying in opposition to Uranus. This opposition is now 10 days away. Uranus is symbolic of human flight. Saturn is the restriction.

Mercury is just 2 days from his station. The grounding of all civil aircraft is in keeping with this situation.

This nearly stationary Mercury is hovering over the UK Mars in the (1801) National Chart. It hits on April 14th and April 22nd. This whole period is affected.

Moon crescent phase 05:42 GMT at 13 degrees Gemini.

The Aries Sun sextiles Neptune 08:16 GMT.

The UK Genera Election is now 18 days away. It will be held as Mercury is in his retrograde period, which does suggest a 'hung parliament' with people changing their minds later. Gordon Brown is however a Pisces subject. Both Uranus and Jupiter are currently in 'his' sign. The progressed Moon of the UK is also in Pisces. In 2011 Neptune enters Pisces. The 'emotional base' mood of the UK is certainly Piscean at the moment.

There are big astrological changes after the election. In late May and early June 2010 both Uranus and Jupiter enter Aries, and set the scene for a very powerful planetary Cardinal Cross with Pluto and Saturn in July and August this year. This forthcoming 'electric planetary whip lash' might be an indication of a Cameron victory at the polls in early May.

Astrologically this UK election is too close to call. Most astrologers are hedging their bet with a Conservative victory. My money is still with Gordon Brown, marginally. He has Pluto crossing his Mid heaven this year, an indication of changes of power and career status, and Neptune crossing his Pisces Sun, sensational and visionary, in the two years following. His progressed Moon is approaching the Full. He is approaching a major climax in his life.

David Cameron's exact birth time is uncertain. What is certain is that Jupiter is conjunct his Saturn on May 6th 2010, which does suggest 'the bottom dropping out of his world', which can mean both a win or a loss ! Saturn in Libra, his Sun sign, transits his natal Sun in 2011. Either way his near future is beset with care and responsibility. All of these transits can be used as evidence either way in forecasting the election result. The astrological mood on election day, May 6th 2010, is 'rebellious' 'fixed' 'modern' and 'stubborn'.

Nick Clegg's birth time is more uncertain than David Cameron's. His birth chart is simi liar to Cameron's. He too has Jupiter over his natal Saturn in early May. His recent rise to popularity after the first TV leadership debate last Thursday coincided with benevolent Venus transits accentuating his earthy Capricornian quality.

Stay tuned for more astrological commentary on the UK election.

Monday April 19th 2010

Yesterday in the midst of pre-full moon anxiety World markets slid as Greece's debt was downgraded to junk status amid fears over its economic crisis.

In a simi liar anxious atmosphere a smoke bomb was thrown in the Ukrainian parliament amid protests over the deal extending Russia's Black Sea fleet lease.

Today's Full Moon is the 4th Full Moon following the Partial Lunar Eclipse on 31st Dec. 2009 in Cancer and the penultimate Full Moon before Partial Lunar Eclipse on June 26th 2010 in Capricorn.

Today's Full Moon is opposite Mercury and square Mars. This is a difficult and an intense lunation.

After the Full Moon moment, Mercury is at Inferior conjunction 16:44 GMT. The Moon and Sun tighten into a fixed T-square with Mars. The Moon squares Mars 18:21 GMT.

Stay cool!

Thursday April 29th 2010

Yesterday's full moon in Scorpio coincided with a convoy of Thailand's red-shirt protesters clashing with troops in northern Bangkok, with a number of casualties reported. Tensions appear to be climaxing there.

The head of the IMF warned that the economic crisis in Greece could spread across Europe, as pressure grows on Germany to support a bail-out.

The US plans to set fire to an oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico after failed attempts to stem a leak from a sunken rig.

In the UK Gordon Brown was "mortified" after being caught on microphone describing someone he had just spoken to as a "bigoted woman". Gordon has Mars approaching a conjunction with his Leo Moon on May 1st and Jupiter conjunct his natal Piscean Venus on May 3rd. There is still all to play for.

Today the 'hung over Moon' wanes in Scorpio.

The sting of the full Moon has now been taken.

Friday April 30th 2010

The main world news story yesterday in the wake of the full moon in Scorpio was the US oil spill being designated as an "incident of national significance", as officials warned it will hit the coast within a day.

The European Union (EU) is on the verge of agreeing the details of an emergency plan to rescue Greece's economy.

Scientists have detected water-ice on the surface of an asteroid. The first-time observation was made on 24 Themis, a huge rock that orbits almost 480 million km out from the Sun. The researchers say that ice is not stable in such circumstances and has to be replenished by some means - perhaps from inside the object. They tell Nature magazine the finding plays into the theory that much of the water in Earth's oceans was delivered from space.

Today from 00:00 GMT the waning Moon eases the Saturn Uranus opposition and trines Uranus 00:40 GMT becoming void.

The Moon enters Sagittarius 02:36 GMT.

A rip roaring Friday is then in store.

A veritable barrage of expressive outpourings can be expected.

May 2010

Saturday May 1st 2010

The month starts with the Sun and a retrograde Mercury in Taurus, Venus in Gemini and Mars in mid Leo. After a relatively quiet start this month has in store a complex set of planetary dynamics from 16th to about the 22nd.

Today the Moon wanes in Sagittarius.

The only planetary aspect in the skies this weekend is the Taurus Sun starting to applying in fixed square to Mars in Leo. Massive clashes of 'will and purpose' can be expected over the next few days.

Sunday May 2nd 2010

Moon at disseminating phase 27 degrees Sagittarius 03:38 GMT.

From 07:00 to 08:00 the Moon forms a mutable T-square with Saturn and Uranus.

The Moon squares Uranus at 08:08 GMT and becomes void.

She enters Capricorn at 10:00 GMT.

The Sun and the Moon together with Mercury Saturn and Pluto are in earth signs.

Realism rules.

The Sun is applying to a square aspect with Mars which lasts for three days.

Clashes of will are likey.

Monday May 3rd 2010

State of the skies:-The Sun today reaches at 14 degrees Taurus, and he

squares Mars tomorrow. There are 46 days to the Cancer Solstice.

The Moon is very slowly waning in Capricorn. She hits last quarter phase

on Thursday, the UK election day. The next New Moon, in Taurus is on May 14th

Mercury is currently an 'morning star' in his retrograde phase in mid Taurus,

turning direct on May 11th.

Mercury trines Pluto at 12:09 GMT today. He trines Pluto again for a final time on May 19th. Mercury returns to 'full speed' on May 27th and reaches 'new territory on May 30th, trines Saturn on June 8th, squares Neptune on June 9th finally entering Gemini on June 10th.

Venus is the bright 'evening star' in Gemini. Venus sextiles Mars on May 7th, squares Saturn and Jupiter on 17th and 18th of May, trines Neptune on 18th May and squares Uranus on May 19th. She enters Cancer on May 20th. Affections are 'fickle' and 'light' and 'fancy free' during this time. Accompanied by Mars in Leo at the moment these can be playful times. Venus turns retrograde in Scorpio on Oct 10th 2010.

Mars is moving direct and now picking up speed in Leo. Mars is opposite to Neptune in Aquarius on June 4th 2010. Mars will be in Leo right up to June 7th 2010.

More importantly Jupiter is now less than five degrees from his conjunction with Uranus, the first of which occurs on June 5th 2010 at zero Aries. Currently Saturn, retrograding in late Virgo is opposing these two.

A new planetary wave approaches.

Tuesday May 4th 2010

Yesterday Oil giant BP said it is "absolutely responsible" for cleaning up the

massive oil spill off the US Gulf of Mexico coast.

Police made "substantial progress" in investigating a failed car bomb attack

in New York.

Germany's cabinet backed a eurozone and IMF bail-out of Greece, which

amounts to 22.4bn euros over three years.

The Moon enters Aquarius at 20:52 GMT

Wednesday May 5th 2010

Yesterday Welders in Louisiana were working against the clock to build a giant iron funnel for BP in a bid to halt the huge spill from a Gulf of Mexico well. The 98-tonne, dome-topped box being built by steel workers is to be ready on Wednesday and may be shipped to the site by the end of the week.

The spill began after an explosion and a rupture in the pipe on April 20th, the first day of the month of Taurus, and incidentally on the day Chiron entered Pisces.

Greek public sector workers stormed the Acropolis and scuffled with riot police during a strike against austerity measures.

Today the Moon wanes and is slowly approaching Last Quarter phase in Aquarius.

At 14:46 GMT the Sun reaches 15 degrees Taurus. We are then exactly midway between the Vernal Equinox and the Cancer Solstice.

Thursday May 6th 2010

Yesterday at least three people were killed in Greece as protesters set fire to

a bank building during a general strike over austerity measures.

UK General Election day.

Mercury is in his retrograde period, which does suggest a 'hung parliament' with people changing their minds at a re-run election some time in the future. Gordon Brown is however a Pisces subject. Both Uranus and Jupiter are currently in 'his' sign. The progressed Moon of the UK is also in Pisces. In 2011 Neptune enters Pisces. The 'emotional base' mood of the UK is certainly Piscean at the moment.

There are big astrological changes after the election. In late May and early June 2010 both Uranus and Jupiter enter Aries, and set the scene for a very powerful planetary Cardinal Cross with Pluto and Saturn in July and August this year. This forthcoming 'electric planetary whip lash' might be an indication of a Cameron victory at the polls today.

Astrologically this UK election is too close to call. Most astrologers are hedging their bet with a Conservative victory. My money is still with Gordon Brown, marginally. He has Pluto crossing his Mid heaven this year, an indication of changes of power and career status, and Neptune crossing his Pisces Sun, in the two years following, which is both sensational and visionary. His progressed Moon is approaching the Full. He is certainly approaching a major climax in his life.

David Cameron's exact birth time is uncertain. What is certain is that Jupiter is conjunct his Saturn on May 6th 2010, which does suggest 'the bottom dropping out of his world', which can mean both a win or a loss ! Saturn in Libra, his Sun sign, transits his natal Sun in 2011. Either way his near future is beset with care and responsibility. All of these transits can be used as evidence either way in forecasting the election result.

Nick Clegg's birth time is more uncertain than David Cameron's. His birth chart is similar to Cameron's. He too has Jupiter over his natal Saturn in early May.

From 02:00 GMT to 04:00 GMT the Moon forms a Fixed T-square with the Sun and Mars.

At 02:23 GMT the Moon, the Earth and Mars are linearly aligned (41 minute arc).

The very slow Moon hits last quarter 16 degrees Aquarius 04:15GMT.

In the UK the polls open after a difficult night.

The Moon then continues to decelerate to a conjunction with Neptune which occurs tomorrow.

The mood of this day is 'fixed' 'rebellious' and 'stubborn'.

Traditional allegiances will be adhered to.

Moon apogee 22:01 GMT

Friday May 7th 2010

Important times.

Greece's parliament voted in favour of austerity measures, as police used

tear gas to disperse protesters outside.

US stockmarkets have plunged in New York as concerns about high levels of

European government debt continued to shake investor confidence.

Many people alive today possess some Neanderthal ancestry, according to a

landmark scientific study.

In the UK, as the old Moon appplies to a conjunction with Neptune, a cloud of uncertainty hangs regarding the political future.

Stand by.

More to follow.

The eta Aquarid meteor shower, caused by dust from Halley's Comet, peaks this year on May 7th. The shower is strongest over the southern hemisphere, where observers could see more than 30 meteors per hour despite the bright light of a waning half Moon. No matter where you live, the best time to look is during the hours before local sunrise on Friday

The Moon is conjunct Neptune at 06:37 GMT and becomes void of course.

She slips into Pisces 09:34 GMT.

Venus in Gemini sextiles Mars in Leo 21:55 GMT.

Saturday May 8th 2010

Listen and tell your family and friends. Mercury is still retrograding.

Currently Jupiter is approaching a conjunction with Uranus at the

end of the sign Pisces almost on the Aries cusp. Opposite this

wondrous conjunction is Saturn in late Virgo, teaching, tempering,

testing. Major changes are at hand. A new level of shared experienc ,

a new wave, and a new situation is nigh.

The situation will intensify in the weeks ahead, throughout May, June,

July and August 2010. The new vibration will manifest, and then repeat in 2011, when Uranus finally enters and resides in Aries.

Today the old slow Moon wanes in Pisces, Gordon Brown's sign. Jupiter and Uranus are in this sign too, for a few more weeks.

In response to this new wave influence described above, there is insecurity and mild panic in the collective heart. Shares in the US and Europe are falling amid investor fears over Greek debt, and sterling is slumping during the British general election debacle.

The 'astrological relationship chart' of of Brown/ Clegg looks more interesting that of Cameron/ Clegg.

A giant funnel is positioned above a blown-out oil well in the seabed in the Gulf of Mexico in an attempt to contain leaking oil.

The beat goes on, and 'the unfortunately named'

Today the Moon is conjunct Jupiter 12:32 GMT at 25 degrees Pisces.

The Moon is conjunct Uranus at 20:13 GMT at 29 degrees Pisces. The Moon is then void.

She ignites into Aries 21:30 GMT.

Monday May 10th 2010

The US has evidence Pakistan's Taliban were behind a car bomb plot in New York's Times Square, the attorney general yesterday said.

In the UK we all await the outcome of power sharing talks between Liberals and Conservatives.

State of the skies:-The Sun today reaches at 20 degrees Taurus. There are 40 days to the Cancer Solstice.

The slow moving but accelerating Moon reaches balsamic phase 06:17 GMT 4 degrees Aries.

The next New Moon, in Taurus, is on May 14th.

Mercury is currently an 'morning star' in his retrograde phase in mid Taurus,

turning direct tomorrow. He trines Pluto for a third and final time on May 19th. Mercury returns to 'full speed' on May 27th and reaches 'new territory on May 30th, trines Saturn on June 8th, squares Neptune on June 9th finally entering Gemini on June 10th.

Venus is the bright 'evening star' in Gemini. Venus squares Saturn and Jupiter on 17th and 18th of May, trines Neptune on 18th May and squares Uranus on May 19th. She enters Cancer on May 20th. Affections are 'fickle' and 'light' and 'fancy free' during this time. Accompanied by Mars in Leo at the moment these can be playful times. Venus turns retrograde in Scorpio on Oct 10th 2010.

Mars is moving direct and now picking up speed in Leo. Mars is opposite to Neptune in Aquarius on June 4th 2010. Mars will be in Leo right up to June 7th 2010.

More importantly Jupiter is now less than four degrees from his conjunction with Uranus, the first of which occurs on June 5th 2010 at zero Aries. Currently Saturn, retrograding in late Virgo is opposing these two.

Uranus ingresses Aries on May 28th.

A big planetary wave approaches. Major changes are at hand. A new level of shared experience ,

a new wave, and a new situation is nigh. The situation will intensify in the weeks ahead, throughout May, June,

July and August 2010. The new vibration will manifest, and then repeat in 2011, when Uranus finally enters and resides in Aries.

Tuesday May 11th 2010

Mercury is stationary, turning direct 22:22 GMT at 3 degrees Taurus.

The Moon wanes In Aries.

Gordon Brown yesterday said he is to step down as leader of the Labour Party and has asked the search for a successor to be started. His party opened formal talks with the Lib Dems about forming a government. Mr Brown, prime minister since 2007, said he hoped a successor as Labour leader would be in place by September. In keeping with Mercury being apparently motionless, the whole of the United Kingdom 'hovers', awaiting the decisions and outcomes of the General Election's aftermath.

The Nick Clegg/David Cameron astrological relationship chart has no air in it. Communication between the two will not be easy. There is no 'shared mind' there. There is however a grand trine in Fire, with the Sun in Sagittarius, the Moon in Aries and Jupiter in Leo. I suppose this might set champagne corks popping, but a nitty gritty, devil in the detail, conjunction of Mars Uranus and Pluto in Virgo is held in check by Saturn in Pisces. The chart has spirit and impulse but energy is tempered and restricted by a deep rooted Saturn.

The Nick Clegg/ Gordon Brown relationship chart has plenty of Earth and Air. An Aquarius Sun and a Libran Moon set a amicable backdrop to a rather unmovable rigid planetary T-square involving Venus Mars and Jupiter. The New Moon on Friday of this week hits the Mars in the chart.

As I said we await the decisions.

Yesterday global stock markets jumped after Europe agreed measures to try to stop the Greek debt crisis affecting other countries.

At least 72 people, including 30 workers at a clothes factory, were killed in a series of bombings and shootings across Iraq.

Wednesday May 12th 2010

Britain has a new prime minister.

This astrological chart is that of the moment that David Cameron left Buckingham Palace as Prime Minister of the UK.

The moment is taken as the symbolic start of the new government.

The date is exactly two calendar months from a Total Solar Eclipse. Major changes are ahead. The time in Westminster is exactly Sunset. The heart and purpose of this government will be concerned with relationships. Scorpio rises, the ascendant degree is on the Saturn/Lunar Node midpoint, (hindrances from associations!) applying in trine aspect to a conjunction of Jupiter and Uranus. Virgo culminates on the Jupiter Neptune midpoint, rather lacking in clarity. An old Moon in Aries on the Venus/Neptune midpoint (rather illusionary, dreamy and dependant on the moods of others) and applies in sextile aspect to Neptune and is eight hours from forming a tight 'finger of fate' with Saturn and Neptune. A fateful event can be expected.

Venus aligns to Baghdad, the Lunar node to Kabul.

Globally Mars is on the Uranus Pluto midpoint, a very destructive combination. Saturn is rising at Washington DC, serious issues with the USA can be expected. This astrological chart is the product of an old cycle. The Moon is really old and approaching a really difficult situation. Retrograding Mercury is just under three hours from his station. Even at the very start of this administration there is still doubt and confusion regarding the nature of the pact with the Liberal Democrats.

Minds will change.

Today around 04:12 GMT the Moon forms a dangerous 'finger of fate; with Neptune and Saturn.

The old Moon is void in Aries from this moment.

She enters Taurus 06:49 GMT and is conjunct the newly direct Mercury at 11:47 GMT at 3 degrees Taurus.

The day that follows is deeply rooted in finance, productivity and structure.

Thursday May 13th 2010

The astrological chart above is that of the relationship chart of Nick Clegg and David Cameron. This is set for the midpoint in time and space of their respective birth data. (Please be aware we do not have exact birth times for both these men but some very interesting and useful pointers emerge). Note the triangle, in fire signs. Sun just burst forth in Sagittarius, the Moon in fast moving 'all of a sudden' Aries and Jupiter in 'champagne corks a-popping as the big picture is contemplated' Leo.This is indicative of a spontaneous, creative enterprising and flamboyant relationship. See also Mars conjunct Uranus and Pluto in Virgo opposed by Saturn in Pisces. This is a dynamic and explosive planetary pattern. its symbolism contains suddenness, volatility and brittleness, held in check by and in harness by a solemn and responsible Saturn in Pisces. The Saturn opposition to Pluto component of this pattern represents a deep and unavoidable power struggle. In this chart there is no planet in an air sign. This relationship has a suffocating quality. It is grainy hot and steamy but it lacks oxygen.

Mars in virgo works very hard and attends to every detail. Venus in Sagittarius is open, honest and direct. Mercury in Scorpio is penetrating, practical and adamant. This relationship has to work, and it may last a fair while, but there will be great tests of strength, for example this year 2010 Uranus opposes the relationship Mars, this manifested in the Spring and repeats in the Autumn, and in 2011 a year from now when Pluto squares the chart's probable Moon and Neptune squares the chart's Sun, and in 2012 when Uranus in Aries contacts the chart's Moon and Jupiter opposes the chart's Sun.

Yesterday as Cameron and Clegg were patting each other on the back in the rose garden of number 10 a child aged about 10 was the only survivor of a plane crash at Tripoli airport in Libya which killed more than 100 people.

A new container dome was placed beside the damaged oil well polluting the Gulf of Mexico since a drilling rig disaster,

Seven children and two adults were hacked to death at a kindergarten in China, the latest in a series of school attacks.

A super massive black hole may have been observed in the process of being hurled from its parent galaxy at high speed.

The week ahead holds new challenges. Adjustments will have to be made. Unlooked for events will occur.

As this day draws on the Moon draws closer and closer to an almost exact alignment with Venus in Gemini which peaks tomorrow. In the light of this sweet and flirtatious conjunction today has a merry potential.

There is a quickening.

Thai officials have ruled out UN-backed mediation in an increasingly violent

dispute with anti-government protesters on the streets of Bangkok.

A protest leader suggested the talks, but a government spokesman was quick

to rebuff the offer, saying outside groups should not interfere.

At least 29 people have died since Thursday, when soldiers and police moved in

to shift the demonstrators.

The protesters, known as red-shirts, have been camped in Bangkok for months.

They want Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva to resign and call a new election.

The Sun today reaches at 27 degrees Taurus. There are 33 days to the Cancer Solstice.

The accelerating Moon reaches her crescent phase 13:38 GMT 12 degrees Cancer.

Mercury trines Saturn on June 8th, squares Neptune on June 9th finally entering Gemini on June 10th.

Venus is the bright 'evening star' in Gemini. Venus is about to square the current Jupiter Uranus opposite saturn configuration. Venus makes a mutable waxing square aspect with Jupiter 10:57 GMT today and Venus squares Saturn tomorrow the 18th of May, trining Neptune also tomorrow 18th and squaring Uranus the day after. She enters Cancer on May 20th. Affections have been 'fickle' and 'light' and 'fancy free' during the time of Venus in Gemini ; accompanied by Mars in Leo at the moment these can be playful times. However the mutable t-square of the next few days will bring forth some regret.

Venus turns retrograde in Scorpio on Oct 10th 2010.

Mars is moving direct in Leo, drawing near to Regulus. Mars is opposite to Neptune in Aquarius on June 4th 2010. Mars will be in Leo right up to June 7th 2010.

More importantly Jupiter is now less than three degrees from his conjunction with Uranus, the first of which occurs on June 5th 2010 at zero Aries. Currently Saturn, retrograding in late Virgo is opposing these two.

Uranus ingresses Aries on May 28th.

A big planetary wave approaches. Major changes are at hand. A new level of shared experience ,

a new wave, and a new situation is nigh. The situation will intensify in the weeks ahead, throughout May, June,

July and August 2010. The new vibration will manifest, and then repeat in 2011, when Uranus finally enters and resides in Aries.

Yesterday Thailand's authorities put the capital Bangkok under curfew after red-shirt protest leaders surrendered to troops storming their barricades. Some 20 fires were burning across the city of 15 million after the surrender and pockets of resistance remained despite pleas from leaders to go home. Some 40 people have died since troops ringed the protesters last week, with at least six more deaths on Wednesday.

South Korea's foreign minister says it is "obvious" that North Korea sank a South Korean naval ship in March.

Yesterday it was reported that scientists in the US have succeeded in

developing the first synthetic living cell. The researchers constructed a

bacterium's "genetic software" and transplanted it into a host cell.

The resulting microbe then looked and behaved like the species "dictated"

by the synthetic DNA. The advance, published in Science, has been hailed

as a scientific landmark, but critics say there are dangers posed by synthetic

organisms. The researchers hope eventually to design bacterial cells that will

produce medicines and fuels and even absorb greenhouse gases.

In a surprising development that has transformed the appearance of the solar system's largest planet, one of Jupiter's two main cloud belts has completely disappeared. Get the full story from Science@NASA.

Today the Sun enters Gemini 03:34 GMT and a new astrological month starts.

The Sun and the Moon together with Uranus, Jupiter and Saturn are then in mutable signs.

Change is in the air, as are movement and transmission.

Mercury is currently a 'morning star' and is now nearly up to full apparent speed after his recent retrograde phase in mid Taurus. He is at 'full speed' on May 27th, reaching 'new territory' on May 30th. Mercury trines Saturn on June 8th, squares Neptune on June 9th finally entering Gemini on June 10th.

Venus is the bright 'evening star' in Cancer. Venus opposes Pluto 03:12 GMT today, and sextiles Saturn on June 26th.

Venus leaves Cancer and enters Leo on June 14th. Venus in Cancer is 'a deep seated feeling of love'. After the frivolous Venus in Gemini of previous weeks this placement is a lot more ardent. Venus turns retrograde in Scorpio on Oct 10th 2010.

Mars is moving direct in Leo, drawing near to Regulus. Mars is opposite to Neptune in Aquarius on June 4th 2010. Mars will be in Leo right up to June 7th 2010.

More importantly Jupiter is now less than two degrees from his conjunction with Uranus, the first of which occurs on June 5th 2010 at zero Aries. Currently Saturn, retrograding in late Virgo is opposing these two.

Uranus ingresses Aries on May 28th.

A big planetary wave approaches. Major changes are close at hand. A new level of shared experience ,

a new wave, and a new situation is nigh. The situation will intensify in the weeks ahead, throughout May, June,

July and August 2010. The new vibration will manifest, and then repeat in 2011, when Uranus finally enters and resides in Aries.

Yesterday the US announced joint naval exercises with Seoul after a report blamed North Korea for the sinking of a Southern warship.

Two police officers were killed and six others wounded by gunmen during unrest in Jamaica's capital, Kingston.

Today the gibbous Moon in Libra trines Neptune and is void from 04:01 GMT

The Moon squeezes into Scorpio 06:18 GMT

What follows is a day with a mood of increasing intensity.

Wednesday May 26th 2010

Yesterday at least 27 people, mostly civilians, died in gun battles in Jamaica, as the hunt

continued for a suspected drug lord. The Jamaican National Astrological chart has Saturn

and Uranus/Jupiter bearing down on Venus now and in the Autumn.

Trouble is brewing in the far east as North Korea is to sever all ties with the South as

tensions escalate over the sinking of a South Korean ship.

European stock markets closed sharply lower yesterday after a day of continued

global fears about eurozone debt problems.

Today the Moon waxes to the Full in Scorpio.

Today is intense and penetrative.

Thursday May 27th 2010

A coronal mass ejection (movie) is heading for Earth and it could spark geomagnetic storms when it arrives on May 27th or 28th. High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras.

BP says an attempt to plug its leaking oil well in the Gulf of Mexico with mud and cement is under way.

The international community must respond in the growing crisis over the sinking of a South Korean warship, the US says.

At least 44 people have died during fighting between police and gunmen in the current anti-drug offensive in Kingston Jamaica.

These are the current news stories as the nearly full moon starts the day in Scorpio, trines Uranus and is void from 11:14 GMT.

She enters Sagittarius 11:16 GMT.

Full Moon 7 degrees Sagittarius

23:08 GMT

http://auntiemoon.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/sagittarius-constellation.jpg

Today's Full Moon is the 5th Full Moon following the Partial Lunar Eclipse on 31st Dec. 2009 in Cancer and the ultimate Full Moon before Partial Lunar Eclipse on June 26th 2010 in Capricorn.

With the passing of this Full Moon we are entering a new eclipse season.

A major feature of this Full Moon is the fact that at the exact moment of Full Moon Jupiter, Uranus and Saturn are aligned to Korea. Note also Pluto setting at Beijing.

Friday May 28th 2010

Uranus first enters Aries 01:48 today.

A momentous ingress.

Except for the period Aug 14th 2010 to March 12th 2011the planet Uranus will be in Aries until May 16th 2018.

This period which starts today will be characterised by a surge of rebellious revolutionary energy and a flash fire of sudden, inventive, scientific and incendiary spirit.

Changes will occur suddenly like a thunderbolt from the gods. This ingress serves as a trigger and cosmic wake up call.

The last time this occurred was in the pre war years 1927 to 1935 and corresponded with the stock market crash, the rise of the Nazi party, the rise of Stalin and of Mao TseTung and the rapid development and expansion of 20th century technology and industry.

Hold on to your Hollyhocks Daze readers. Sudden unlooked for changes are at hand. The message is one of 'personal and social liberation'.

Today the 'hung over' full Moon sweeps through Sagittarius.

Saturday May 29th 2010

Nearly 190 nations have agreed to hold a conference on a nuclear-weapons-free

Middle East, as Israel is singled out.

China faces pressure to censure North Korea over the sinking of a South Korean warship,

at a three-nation summit with Japan.

Today the Moon, Jupiter, Uranus form a mutable T-square from 16:00 to 19:00.

The Moon in Sagittarius squares Jupiter 16:40, becomes void, and ingresses Capricorn 18:44.

Sunday May 30th 2010

The Moon is conjunct Pluto 03:49 at 5 degrees Capricorn.

Saturn is stationary turning direct 17:04 GMT.

Monday May 31st 2010

The Gulf of Mexico oil spill is the worst environmental disaster the US has faced,

a senior official yesterday said.

The Sun today is at 10 degrees Gemini. There are 20 days to the Solstice.

The Moon reaches disseminating phase 19:43 GMT 25 degrees Capricorn.

The next Full Moon is a Partial Lunar Eclipse on June 26th 2010 in Capricorn.

We are therefore in the foothills of a new eclipse season which culminates with

a Total Solar Eclipse at 19 degrees Cancer on July 11th 2010.

Mercury is currently a 'morning star' in Taurus and is now up to full apparent speed.

Mercury trines Saturn on June 8th, squares Neptune on June 9th finally entering Gemini on June 10th.

Venus is the bright 'evening star' in Cancer. Venus sextiles Saturn on June 26th.

Venus leaves Cancer and enters Leo on June 14th. Venus turns retrograde in Scorpio on Oct 10th 2010.

Mars is moving direct in Leo, drawing near to Regulus. Mars is opposite to Neptune in Aquarius on June 4th 2010. Mars will be in Leo right up to June 7th 2010.

More importantly Jupiter is now less than one degree from his conjunction with Uranus, the first of which occurs on June 5th 2010 at zero Aries. Currently Saturn, retrograding in late Virgo is opposing these two.

Uranus ingressed Aries on May 28th.

Neptune turns retrograde 13:20 GMT

A big planetary wave approaches. Major changes are close at hand. A new level of shared experience ,

a new wave, and a new situation is nigh. The situation will intensify in the weeks ahead, throughout May, June,

July and August 2010. The new vibration will manifest, and then repeat in 2011, when Uranus finally enters and resides in Aries.

June 2010

June 5-6, 2010: Things really heat up starting in mid May, as Saturn opposes Jupiter and Uranus. Then, Uranus enters Aries and, a few days later, is joined by the Moon and Jupiter at exactly 0° Aries. Meanwhile, Pluto is at 4°+ Capricorn and Saturn is at 28° Virgo, forming a T-square with the Moon, Jupiter, and Uranus. Mars at 29°+ Leo (conjunct Regulus) opposes Neptune and Chiron. This seems to me to have the potential for a major popular movement (at best) or an armed revolt (at worst). The key is to channel all this energy in constructive ways. Mountain Astrologer

As the month begins, the Sun is isolated in Gemini, Jupiter and Uranus are applying to their conjunct and are within two degrees of an opposition to Saturn

Mars is in Leo, Mercury Taurus. Venus is in Cancer.

Big things are stirring and starting up. We have before us Jupiter's ingress into Aries on June 6th forming a conjunction there with Uranus, an eclipse season followed by a Cardinal Grand Cross on August 7th, read on.

Tuesday June 1st 2010

The Moon in Capricorn sextiles Jupiter 03:42 and is void, the Moon at this time is easing the big opposition in the skies right now.

Saturday June 5th 2010

The waning Moon slowly accelerates in Pisces.

Sunday June 6th 2010

We rarely see a good comet when it's at its best. Most comets are brightest when nearest the Sun — just when they’re most likely to be hidden in the Sun’s glare or below the sunrise or sunset horizon.

That's the situation this spring with Comet C/2009 R1 (McNaught). Even so, observers in the Northern Hemisphere should be able to pick it up with telescopes, and possibly binoculars, just before dawn for at least part of June, during its runup in brightness.

On June 6th and 7th it’s within about 2° of the 2nd-magnitude double star Gamma Andromedae. The Moon is much thinner then, but also closer to the comet.

Tune into this one!

The Moon is conjunct Jupiter 05:50 at 30 degrees Pisces. She is then void of course.

One minute later at 05:51 GMT, the Moon enters Aries.

The Moon is then conjunct Uranus at zero Aries, 06:20 GMT,

Jupiter then enters Aries 06:27 GMT.

During this brief episode the Moon, Jupiter and Uranus are opposite Saturn.

Monday June 7th 2010

The Sun today reaches 17 degrees Gemini. There are then just 13 days to the Solstice.

The Moon wanes and accelerates in Aries. Also in Aries are Jupiter and Uranus.

The next New Moon is on Saturday. The next Full Moon is a Partial Lunar Eclipse

on June 26th 2010 in Capricorn. We are in a new eclipse season which culminates with

a Total Solar Eclipse at 19 degrees Cancer on July 11th 2010.

Mercury is currently a 'morning star' in Taurus. Mercury trines Saturn tomorrow June 8th,

squares Neptune on June 9th and enters Gemini on June 10th.

From today for 4 days Mercury joins in and activates a Fixed T-square

involving Jupiter, Uranus and Saturn. These are important days.

Venus is the bright 'evening star' in Cancer. Venus leaves Cancer and enters Leo on

June 14th. Venus turns retrograde in Scorpio on Oct 10th 2010.

Mars enters Virgo 06:11 GMT today joining Saturn in that sign. Mars is squared by Mercury on June 11th, Mars trines Pluto on June 15th, Mars is sextiled by Mercury on July 1st, and sextiled by an eclipsed Sun on July 11th. Mars enters Libra on July 29th and is opposite Uranus on July 30th, and conjunct Saturn on July 31st, opposite Jupiter and square Pluto on August 4th.

Jupiter is in close conjunction with Uranus at zero Aries. Currently Saturn, retrograding in late Virgo is opposing these two.

Tuesday June 8th 2010

A fresh comet is swinging through the inner solar system, and it is brightening rapidly as it approaches the sun. Presenting, Comet McNaught (C/2009 R1).

Michael Jäger of Stixendorf, Austria, took the picture on June 6th using an 8-inch telescope. The comet's green atmosphere is larger than the planet Jupiter, while the long willowy ion tail stretches more than a million kilometers through space. These dimensions make the comet a fine target for backyard telescopes.

Comet McNaught can be found low in the northeastern sky before dawn gliding through the constellation Perseus. It is brightening as it approaches Earth for a 1.1 AU close encounter on June 15th and 16th. Currently, the comet is at the threshold of naked eye visibility (5th to 6th magnitude) and could become as bright as the stars of the Big Dipper (2nd magnitude) before the end of the month. Estimates are uncertain, however, because this comet is a newcomer to the inner solar system, and thus somewhat unpredictable. spaceweather.com

The Israeli astrological chart had its Mars return last week and transiting Pluto is opposite natal Venus as transiting Neptune is opposite natal Mars. These factors explain the current situation regarding the country and its offensive actions of the past week in the seas around Gaza where nine pro-Palestinian activists died in an Israeli raid on an aid flotilla trying to break Israel's blockade of Gaza. Yesterday it was reported that Israel's navy had shot and killed four Palestinians wearing diving gear off the Gaza coast.

From today for five days Mercury, Mars, Pluto, Jupiter and Uranus form a striking planetary trapezium.

A very complex astrological situation is upon us.

Jupiter conjunct Uranus 0 degrees Aries, 11:46 GMT, a tight 26 minute orb. This is the first of 3. The second is on September 19th 2010, and the final blast Jan 4th 2011.

The Moon in Aries is sextile Neptune at 13:14 GMT at 29 degrees Aquarius and is then void of course.

The Moon enters Taurus 15:42 GMT and reaches balsamic phase 21:14 GMT 3 degrees Taurus

Mercury 'earth trines' Saturn 23:14 GMT.

A very 'practically based' end to the day is forecast.

Wednesday June 9th 2010

Three days to a New Moon.

Strange news item:-The Iranian government says it has evidence that one of its

nuclear scientists was abducted and is being held in the US against his will.

Shahram Amiri disappeared a year ago while on a pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia.

A video broadcast by Iranian TV purports to show Mr Amiri saying he was

kidnapped and is living in Arizona.

Hours later, another video posted on YouTube appeared to show the scientist

saying he was happy in America. The US denied abducting him.

I cannot find any birth data for this man.

At least two tonnes of cocaine with a street value of some $1bn have been seized

in The Gambia, destined for Europe.

A strong 5th harmonic wave breaks today. Amid all the current planetary 'high dynamics' three 'quintiles' are at work. Quintiles have a transforming quality.

Mercury squares Neptune 10:39 GMT, but confusion reigns.

The Moon wanes in Taurus. It's all down to what you can have and what you can hold.

Thursday June 10th 2010

17 days to a Partial Lunar Eclipse.

Yesterday the UN Security Council voted in favour of a fourth round of sanctions

against Iran over its controversial nuclear programme.

Four American soldiers are killed after their helicopter is shot down in Helmand

province in southern Afghanistan.

The current planetary dynamics continue unabated.

Mercury enters Gemini 05:41 GMT joining the Sun in that sign.

On entering Gemini Mercury immediately sextiles Uranus 10:28 GMT today,

and sextiles Jupiter 13:42 GMT today.

He will whiz through Gemini in 15 days, squaring Mars on June 11th, squaring

Saturn and trining Neptune on June 24th. He enters Cancer on June 25th.

Superior conjunction of Mercury and the Sun occurs on June 28th.

Mercury next turns retrograde on Aug 20th in Virgo.

Mercury in Gemini is a period of intense messaging and dialogue.

Also today the Taurus Moon squares Neptune and is void 19:51 GMT.

The old Moon enters Gemini 22:12 GMT hot on Mercury's trail.

Friday June 11th 2010

The Moon hooks into the planetary trapezium being in conjunction with Mercury 00:33 at 1 degree Gemini.

New Moon at 21 degrees Gemini

11:16 GMT

quintile Mars

http://webastrologer.info/images/johfra_gemini.jpg

Today's New Moon is the fifth one following the Annular Solar Eclipse on January 15th 2010, and the ultimate New Moon before the Total Solar Eclipse at 19 degrees Cancer on July 11th 2010.

With the passing of this New Moon we are in a new eclipse season.

The New Moon today falls directly on the natal Pluto of the UK Labour Party, the natal Uranus of Bill Clinton (and his generation), the natal Saturn of Mick Jagger and Jimmy Page, the natal Jupiter of Ian Duncan Smith and Kim Basinger, the natal Mars of the USA, the natal Venus of David Beckham, George Papandreou, the Iraq republic chart and the Cameron Government chart. It also falls on the natal Sun of super model Adriana Lima, Roy Harper, Boy George and that of the Philippines independence.

At the exact moment of New Moon (11:16 GMT), the Sun and Moon are aligned to the Midheaven of Oslo, they rise over central America and hit Dallas. The Jupiter Uranus conjunction is aligned to the Midheaven of La Paz and the pair set at Krakow. Pluto rises over South Korea.

At the time of this New Moon, Venus in Cancer sextiles Saturn, and this pair form a tight and long lasting 'finger of fate' picture with Neptune. This adds a potentially psychotic edge to proceedings. Jupiter is conjunct Uranus in Aries, adding much impetus. Mercury in Gemini squares Mars in Virgo, puts a cat amongst the pigeons, and Mars 'earth trines' Pluto, invoking great muscular energy. There are a lot of planets in Air signs right now, but only Neptune in a fixed sign and only Venus in a water sign. The New Moon is tightly quintile Mars. We have on our hands therefore a planetary situation which is essentially empirical, unstable and highly intellectual. This lunation invokes change, movement and interchange.

After the New Moon Venus sextiles Saturn 15:19 GMT.

The tender but brittle infant Moon trines Neptune 23:36 GMT and is void.

The Moon as this day ends is forming a T-square with Jupiter, Uranus and Saturn

Sunday June 13th 2010

Kyrgyzstan's interim government gives shoot-to-kill powers to security forces after nearly 80 deaths in ethnic violence.

An earthquake of 7.5 magnitude has hit near India's Nicobar Islands, in the Indian Ocean.

WORLD CUP:- Apologies for this note but England Goalkeeper Green (birth date Jan 18th 1980) failed to get behind a Clint Dempsey strike from outside the penalty area, allowing the ball to squirm through his hands and over the line to gift the US an equaliser just before half-time in Rustenburg. Yesterday Green had the Sun opposing natal Neptune, Venus opposing his natal Sun and Mars opposing natal Venus in his astrological chart. It cost England dear, with Capello's men unable to find a response despite a bright start that saw Steven Gerrard score a fine opener after just four minutes.

Today the Moon enters Cancer 01:51 GMT squaring Uranus and Jupiter .

A quieter day today.

Monday June 14th 2010

Escalating ethnic violence in Kyrgyzstan that has killed nearly 100 people prompts

tens of thousands to flee to Uzbekistan.

An attack on the Iraqi Central Bank building in Baghdad killed 15 people and leaves

more than 50 injured.

A capsule thought to contain the first samples grabbed from the surface of an

asteroid has returned to Earth. The Japanese Hayabusa container hit the top

of the atmosphere just after 1350 GMT, producing a bright fireball over southern Australia.

The Sun today is at 23 degrees Gemini. There are 7 days to the Solstice.

The next Full Moon is a Partial Lunar Eclipse on June 26th 2010 in Capricorn.

Jupiter is now almost exactly square Pluto. The first blast of three of this aspect occurs on July 25th 2010, the second is on Aug. 3rd 2010, and the final blast Feb 25th 2011)This square is part of the looming grand cardinal cross manifest next month.

Uranus now retrograde applies in opposition to Saturn which peaks (for the second time) at month's end.

Chiron re-enters Aquarius (Chiron enters Pisces April 20th 2010, retrogrades back into Aquarius July 19th, then finally enters Pisces Feb 9th 2011 where he resides until April 17th 2018)

The Saturn opposite Uranus Jupiter Pluto T-square is now really tightening. Also, a 'finger of fate' (Sun, Saturn, Neptune) is also manifest for 4 days.

From 20:00 GMT for nearly 12 hours the Moon forms a dissociate Grand Trine with the Sun, Jupiter and Uranus

Significant planetary tensions are now developing as we approach the month's end.

Wednesday July 21st 2010

Yesterday a major conference on Afghanistan endorsed President Karzai's goal

that Afghan forces should lead security operations across the country by 2014.

Prime Minister David Cameron held White House talks with Barack Obama for the

first time, with BP, Afghanistan, the Lockerbie bomber and the economy on the agenda.

The Cameron Obama astrological relationship chart is full of planets in mutable water and earth signs. The chart is dominated by a very tight opposition of Mercury Mars and Pluto. It is a muddy mixture with a potential for extreme seriously violent consequences.

Russia will invest £527m in a new spaceport in the country's Far East, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin announced.

Today is the last day of the astrological month of Cancer.

The Moon in Scorpio sextiles Saturn 11:45 and is void for a mere 4 minutes maximum.

She flies in the face of Sagittarius 11:49 GMT

Saturn finally enters Libra 15:09 GMT. Saturn will reside in Libra until October 5th 2012 when he ingresses Scorpio.

The Saturn opposite Uranus Jupiter, square Pluto, T-square is now really tightening. Also, a 'finger of fate' (Sun, Saturn, Neptune) is manifest for another 3 days.

Thursday July 22nd 2010

SUN-EARTH CONNECTION: The Earth and sun are 93 million miles apart, but they are hardly separated. Magnetic lines of force connect our planet's poles directly to the stellar surface, forming a "sun-Earth system" that researchers are only beginning to understand. Ultimately, the accuracy of space weather forecasts hinges on their progress, and it may require an international effort to succeed. Read more in today's story from Science@NASA.

It is a small step in cognitive thought to realize that the positions of the planets in the solar system may well easily contribute to and effect this magnetic flux of the Sun Earth system. The study of astrology follows non from this leap of thought.

This is the first Full Moon following the Partial Lunar Eclipse on June 26th 2010 and the fifth

Full Moon before the Total Lunar Eclipse on the day of the Winter solstice December 22nd 2010.

The dominant feature in the skies at this time is the a Cardinal T-square involving Jupiter,

Uranus, Pluto and Saturn.

Mars is 3 degrees from his conjunction with Saturn. The Earth, Mercury and Neptune are nearly

exactly linearly aligned.

The time at hand has no comparison. Planetary forces are polaris ed. Exceptional events are at hand.

This marks another intense few days. Mars joins Saturn at 0° 49' Libra, opposing the Moon, Jupiter, and Uranus in Aries and squared by Pluto. Again, large masses of people may be affected by so much planetary energy concentrated near the cardinal points. Since cardinal signs are action-related, there may be a lot of people on the move (demonstrators, troops, refugees). The Mars-Saturn conjunction is on the Mid heaven in Indonesia, China, and the South China Sea, creating conditions for a crisis in that area. Mountain Astrologer
