http://www.anneortelee.com/ In honor of Uranus moving from Pisces to Aries on Friday, I am moving the Mundane section (world predictive section) of my column to the top for this week. Many thoughts and heart prayers for all the citizens of Japan who lost their lives, families, friends and homes in last weeks earthquake and tsunami.
Mundane: A number of you wrote to me after last weeks earthquake, tsunami and apparent nuclear power plant explosion and meltdown in Japan. Yes that WAS Uranus, explosions and chaos, leaving Pisces, the sign of the ever changing ocean and entering Aries the sign of starting, initiating Fire. As I wrote last week, we have a once in a life time event taking place this week. Often as planets leave a sign, they remind us of their entry into the sign. Shortly after Uranus entered Pisces ~ wild and crazy ocean water ~ and Sedna, the Ocean Goddess dwarf planet was discovered and named, we had the earthquake and subsequent tsunami arrive on Indonesias and Thailands shores killing hundreds of thousands of people.
Now, as Uranus exited the sign of Pisces, another tsunami arrived on Japans coastline. For all those did my zodiac sign change? questions raised a few months ago by the media, this event is the synchronicity that 29 Pisces still ends at 29 Pisces! We just saw Uranus exit 29 Pisces in a wave of whooshing slam and crash of explosive energy. As Uranus entered Aries to begin a new 84 year journey, the explosive fire of melting down nuclear power plants appeared in our world.
The good and bad part about Uranus is it is unpredictable. So while we can apply key words, we dont always know HOW the events will appear. And Uranus always throws a twist in EVEN if you THINK you CAN predict it. Uranus likes the unpredictable! We were able to see with his entry into fire, that we could expect an explosion of fire. And right on cue, Uranus brought a partial meltdown and explosion of nuclear power plants affected by the tsunami and earthquake. Uranus rules earthquakes. Here in New York, 14 people were decapitated on I-95 in a bus crash ~ Uranus rules severing and Aries rules the head ~ where the bus tipped over and slid sideways into a sign pole that sliced through the bus at head level, slicing off the passenger heads and top of the bus. Uranus has a crooked rotation, rotating sideways through the heavens and the bus slid sideways. You cant make this stuff up! And if you did, no one would believe you! At times like this, I am totally in awe of astrology and its symbolic representation of what we are experiencing here on earth. As above, so below, as without, so within.
Back in 1927 when Uranus entered Aries the LAST time, we didnt HAVE nuclear power plants to explode or meltdown. However, that part of the world was quite active in 1927 with Marchs Earthquake measuring 8 on Richter scale striking Tango, Japan, Aprils Shanghai Massacre, a large scale purge of communists led by Gen Chiang Kai-shek beginning a counter revolution in China, and Mays 8.3 earthquake in Nan-Shan, China, with 200,000 killed. One of the first skirmishes of what was to become World War 2 happened when the Nazis had bloody battles with the Communists in Berlin. And the Middle East was active with Spain routing 20,000 soldiers to Morocco and Saudi Arabia becoming independent of Great Britain. There was also a "Black Friday" on Berlin Stock Exchange.
We STILL have some MORE rocking and rolling to do astrologically in the heavens which we can expect to see echoed down here on earth as we approach a very loaded Full Moon at the end of this week. Mars and Sun dance over Uranus on the World axis and at the same declination at the end of the month. Neptune enters Pisces on April 4 to mark a 164 year cycle as he shifts into the sign of his ruler ship. Neptune was last in Pisces from 1847 to 1862 ~ the lead up to the Civil War and the end of slavery (ruled by Pisces) as well as the California Gold Rush which ran from 18481855. The gold rush began on January 24, 1848, when gold was found by James W. Marshall at Sutter's Mill, in Coloma, California. It led to a large global migration as people poured into California to find their fortune following their dream of becoming rich ~ Neptune IS the planet of dreams after all.
Uranus cycle is only 84 years long. Pluto, who entered Capricorn in January 2008 and signaled the economic collapse was last in Capricorn 248 years ago. So Neptune changing signs next month, awaking a 164 year old sleeping planet, is something to watch for.
Notice the last sentence three paragraphs up~ We have the last pass of the possible stock market crash energies in the weeks ahead of us ~ particularly the last week of March and first week of April. Once we get through this month and next, we are in the clear ~ at least as relates to major market crashes for a while. Obviously the hot spots of the Middle East and the earthquakes economic devastation of Japan are two areas to watch as they impact the global economy. Plus Mars and the Sun both roll over the earthquake point, triggering it, the eclipses from December 21, to perhaps set off companion earthquakes some where else in the Ring of Fire that circles the Pacific Ocean. March and April are the most astrologically active months this year.
The Regular Weekly Weather Report:
Our week ahead has a great deal of energy flowing through the heavens which will reflect in our lives down here on earth too.
There is a SuperMoon in the Full Moon taking place on Saturday at 28 Virgo. For the past six full moons, since October, weve had full moons at the last degrees of the signs, encouraging us to release, release, release!. This Full Moon is a bit more special. The Moon will be very near to earth ~ perigree ~ which makes it have a larger effect on the oceans tides, the fluid in our bodies (we are 55% to 78 % water), the surface of the earths crust as it floats on our moving core of fire, and the fluid in the atmosphere. We can expect extreme coastal tides, severe storms, powerful earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions as the natural world responds to the closeness of the Moons gravitational pull on earth and we line up with the Sun and her. We can expect extreme emotional responses in ourselves as well as we feel the Moons pull on our bodys water.
The three days on either side of the Full Moon are when we can expect action! The Moon will set off and square the Nodes of Destiny, last weeks transition of Uranus into Aries and square the Full Moon Lunar eclipse of December 21, 2010. The next day, the Sun is smack on the equator as it crosses into Aries and sets off the worlds axis by declination. The day before the Sun enters Aries, the Sun sets off and squares the Nodes of Destiny, the transition of Uranus into Aries and squares the Full Moon Lunar eclipse of December 21, 2010.
I think of SuperMoons or their technical name ~ perigee-syzygy ~ as opportunities to get emotionally clear about a host of topics in the house that the moon falls in. This Full Moon falls in the last degrees of your Virgo house, adding an energy asking you to change your habits.
We human beings arent big on change. We like our routines and the rituals that support us. We like to think the world is a safe, predictable place. We like to know that our coffee will have enough half &half, our shower will be hot, our cell phone will ring and our computer will sign on to the internet. Sure, we can go without, but we tend to get cranky pretty fast if we have to go TOO long without our routines.
The end of the week we will each be asked to release, probably in a VERY emotional manner, something that is finished and isnt going forward with us on our journey. And it might be something that youve formed a bit of a habit with. Or are comfortably habituated to. Or think of as part and parcel of your daily routine. Virgo rules our work, our pets, our daily routines, our co-workers, our employees, our bodies, our diets and a host of mundane, life enhancing and habit supporting things. Stuff like our tooth paste and luggage are part of Virgos realm.
Remember, part of the energy of the past year and a half has been very much to get us ready for a major FORWARD evolutionary push of ourselves and the rest of humanity. It is exceptionally rare to have six major outer planets changing signs at the same time AND entering the angles, the action section, of the anima mundi or world chart. If you think about the changes youve experienced in your own, your friends and familys lives, theyve been designed to help you evolve and move forward.
The energy of the week wants us to emotionally process and CHANGE OUR HABITS. Release those bad old habits. Release the habits that no longer serve you. Add in some good habits. Focus on what you CAN change and change those things. Change those habits.
Mercury, the planet of communication, is rather active this week. First he squares Pluto in Capricorn on Monday so people are in the mood for power struggles with words. Then he joins with Jupiter on Tuesday in fire breathing Aries. Be very careful what you say. Or what you send in an email. Or what you type in your text messages. Folks can be VERY sharp tongued under this energy. Scissor mouth is my fond term for this aspect. Other people OR YOU can be VERY sharp tongued. Razor blade mouth works too. Words spoken in haste are repented in leisure! If you speak sharply to someone, the person will likely process and walk away, hurt and wounded. And then on Friday, they will end the relationship. Or they will come back and have a fight with you under the full moon when all that nasty energy is squaring the Nodes of Destiny. You dont have to go there. I suggest you dont. And if someone wants to fight with you, I recommend you smile and walk away. That will make them absolutely crazy and be much more effective (and relationship preserving) than fighting. If YOU feel like ripping someones head off, these are the aspects that permanently end relationships. Be warned.
Of course, the reason the Universe offers us these aspects is that there are times when we HAVE to or NEED to end relationships. So we get offered a sharp, quick, fast spoken way to end things.
The caveat to this energy is people do tend to overdo it. It is all the frigging Aries fire flying around. So if someone ends a relationship with you and says a WHOLE LOT OF MEAN STUFF, take all the mean stuff and talk about it to someone else who has a clearer perspective on it than you do. This is PROJECTING energy ~ meaning the person will be projecting THEIR stuff ~ their inner yucky, smelly, nasty bits on YOU! It isnt your stuff, it is their stuff. However, as the kitchen sink comes flying at you, full of detritus, Mars hits Chiron as does Mercury by declination so something in that mess of words is going to REALLY hurt your feelings and possibly cut you to the quick. So be kind. Be patient. Walk away if you can. Let them sit with all their anger, hate and hurting energy. Dont take it on.
Instead of fighting with the Aries energy, use the fire energy productively to power through the stuff youve been meaning to get to one of these days. This is a GREAT week to climb mountains of paper, clear out closets, wrap things up and release things. It isnt a great week for new beginnings like to send off your book to the editor (not for a couple more weeks until Mars gets out of Pisces) but it is a great week to redo you edits, double check your indexes, confirm the spelling on your acknowledgements, cast your movie, finalize the financing, approve, pay outstanding bills, do your taxes. The stuff that you postponed will find you have enormous energy to accomplish it right now.
The balance of the column will be posted later today.
