Astrology Readings


THIS WEEK
 Mondays

Tuesday’s New Moon helps us finally get a grip on some of this stress.  The Moon is perigee, meaning it’s at its closest point to the Earth.  She is stronger than usual, more personally forceful, and so is the Sun’s sextile to Mars to get stuff done.  Do it now!
         

And, is there a reward?  You betcha.  Saturday, we find an arrow straight alignment of the Earth, Mercury, the Sun, and Venus.  What an energy pipeline!  With all linked harmoniously to Mars, dare to start it, you’ll soon get it.  Mercury retrograde is often disruptive and disturbing, but with this configuration, for all those ready to react, all who stumble will quickly be passed by the fleet and more sure of foot.  Snooze and lose.
 
Monday - Tuesday, 2 June.  (perigee New Moon in Gemini.  The Sun aspects Saturn / Uranus, sextile Mars.  12-14 degrees of Mutable Signs, 27-29 Cardinal Signs)
Get down.  Get into this!  There is enough Stress and Tension for all, but when you are willing to work with it, it works for you, not against.  Get in someone’s face, relate to who they are and what they’re about, and make them work as your ally.  Not willing to connect personally?  Then, you’ve just reinforced a fight.
 
Friday – Sunday, 6-8 June.  (Moon in Leo.  Retrograde Mercury and direct Venus conjunct the Sun, all sextile Mars.  15-18 degrees of Mutable Signs, 0-3 Fixed Signs)
“They like me!  They really like me, no matter what I do or say.”  Not totally, but this one is powerful, far more than any average Personal Planet Complex.  Even taking something back, this is still doable, there is just that much cooperation looming in this. Sticky criticism starts it, because mistakes were made.  If not well meant, take it as such.
(Jupiter square Sun / Neptune.  21 degrees of Cardinal Signs, 6 Mutable)
Sometimes the way to lead is be led, the way to rule is listen, the way to the top starts at the bottom.  This delivers many useful questions and doubts.  It’s a most helpful pause.

If you want the "horrible-scopes", go somewhere else.  If you want the meaning behind them, stay on.
 
Is your Number up?
  Check Your Four Personal Points for every day, see below.  If the numbers match, this day is for you.
 
Each forecast shows: the Moon Sign, the Planetary Aspect, and Numbers of degrees in Signs for the Planetary Aspect.
The Moon Sign is the Sign the Moon is in for that day.  The Moon Sign gives advantage to the Sign it is in, puts extra pressure on the opposite Sign, and tends to cross up or neutralise the Signs at right angles.  For example, with Fixed Signs, if the Moon is in Taurus, Taurus has the advantage, Scorpio gets challenged, and Leo and Aquarius get shifted or crossed up.
The Planetary Aspect is where action is released.  It's the Excuse.  Unlike daily Horoscopes that suggest each day has the same level of influence, this is the core of changes in the daily energies.
The Sign Numbers are the degrees in the Signs of the Zodiac being emphasised.  If the degree for any day is close to any degree of Your Four Personal Points (see below), within a degree or so, THIS IS YOUR DAY.  Pay extra ATTENTION.
You may have several days in the week activated for you, or you may have none.  As a degree hits one of Your Four Personal Points, the forecast tells about the important things in your life.  The daily forecasts tell you when.  The overall story comes through over time.  Sooner or later, the degrees of the Forecast catch up to you.

Your Four Personal Points are, in order of importance:
The Ascendant, the Mid-heaven, the Moon, and the Sun.
These are the most important Points of your Horoscope, calculated from your birth date, your birth-place, and the time of day you drew your first breath.  The first two Personal Points, the Ascendant and Mid-heaven, are the points that fix the Earth in space for your birth time at your specific birth place.  We live on the Earth, not the Sun or the Moon.  The Ascendant, also called Your Rising Sign, is more important than your Sun Sign.
 
Simply, and generally only, forecasts that affect your:
Ascendant     relate to matters in your environment.  Use it to see what's in your "face".
Mid-heaven  relate to matters in your personal life.    Use it to see what's in your mind.
Moon           relate to matters in your emotional life.   Use it to see what's in your heart.
Sun              relate to matters in your physical life.        Use it to see what's in your core.

The Signs of the Zodiac are:
Card:
Cardinal Signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn)
Fix: Fixed Signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius)
Mut: Mutable Signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces)

Heaven, Help Us!  The forecast is the mood of the moment. For example, if it rains, we all get wet, no matter what "Sign" we are.
If you like this forecast, let others know.  SEND IT TO THEM.  If you have comments or questions, LET ME KNOW.  Check Your Four Personal Points each week if any of them is targeted, and...  PAY ATTENTION!

Everyone was yawning.  More than just a Monday, everybody was tired, even those who should have had a good night’s sleep.  Did they really?  Probably not.  Something was ‘up’.
Where do we get that phrase?  From the Heavens.  And, when the Heavens are disturbed, we little critters on this dust speck get buzzed, even in our sleep.  As ions, charged energy particles, wave about, we react, often not consciously.  Actually, it takes a lot to make things ‘conscious’.  Most of what goes on in our minds and our brains never reaches the level of consciousness.  And, when there’s a disturbance in that sea of tiny charges running around through each of us, what’s called ‘consciousness’ gets disturbed.
The weekend of the 25th was disturbed.  Two Planetary stationaries on the same day.  China had another major quake, a biggie of thousands in the two weeks since it’s Big One.  Tornadoes flew through the US Midwest.  Everybody blaming everybody, from themselves to all the gods in Heaven.  Was China’s quake its karma for supression of Tibet, like for the Taliban for blowing up the Bamian Buddhas?  Were the twisters in the Bible Belt God’s wrath for a lesbian in Iowa or a scared teen having an abortion in Minnesota?
Come on, the sky is not falling, but foundations are shaking and there are logical explanations for all of it.  Iceland had a 6.1 shake.  China’s leaders keep shaking as much as the ground over “tofu buildings”.  Olmert’s position in Israel is shakey because of 5 fraud charges, not Bush chastising him over ‘appeasing’ Syria Lebanon wants to keep the shakeups down, so they put a general in the top spot.
Iran won’t cooperate with the IAEA, but a new Speaker could soon shake up their stance.  The Iraqi ‘coalition’ can’t coalesce with Australia now gone.  The British PM warns of more global oil “shock” as that market continues to shake way up.  Zimbabwe shakes down it’s own military with treats if any of them vote for the opposition.
Canada’s Foreign Affairs Minister’s affairs shook up Harper’s credibility.  BC’s Libs choked on their own election gag rule.  And, a BC Justice shook Ottawa’s stance over principles versus humanity; a safe injection site is a health facility under provincial jurisdiction and 25 studies show it saves medical money and policing costs.
The US Senate had its environmental bill shaken as Exxon’s CEO openly attacks, after Alberta’s tar sands lost a federal permit.  And, Bush’s White House and McCain’s election chances were shaken to the core as true blue Bushie, former Press Secretary Scott McClellan blasted Bush et al as the liars, deceivers and manipulators so many have suspected.  Endless campaigning without shifting to administrating is no way to build a democracy.  Of course Scott was attacked, but not one of his points.
Any time principles reign over humanity, problems will arise.  Addicts deserve to live.  So do children in a school parents thought was safe.  Some friends, and even members of my own family disagree, but authority is not a right, absolutism in any form is not an absolute.  There is something about the suffering of any creature that just bothers me and always has.
 
Aside: The family mourns the passing of Aunt Frannie, taken in the prime of her life.  She was 96.
 
Nota Been: The landing of the Phoenix spacecraft on Mars was on the 25th.  Its first signal reached NASA’s JPL Lab in Pasadena at 16:53:44.  Sure, you can do the Horoscope, but for when and where?  Available software can’t calculate the chart from Mars’ point of view.  Besides, the signal took 15 minutes to reach Earth at the speed of light and do you have exact co-ordinates for the landing site?  BTW, they’ll find water, but not traces of life.  Oops, those damned scientists just said brine nixes the chances.
