CRISES LUNATIONS:  https://www.fourmilab.ch/earthview/pacalc.html

Crises New Moon Periods:  February 28, March 29, April 27 (exact) and May 27 2025

Crises Full Moon Periods:  October 7, November 5, December 4 2025 and January 3 (2026)

NOTE:  In my experiences with the Crises Lunations, I find that there is a cycle of 4 months rather than 3.   But, you will only be impacted by 1 of these lunations, not all.

Crises Lunation periods occurs when, at the time that the Moon is New or Full, the Moon is physically very close to the earth. This closeness-lunation parallel will amplify our emotional reactions, bringing matters to a crisis point. This Crises Moon period usually begins about one week before the New/Full Moon and lasts several days afterward.

I find that you are only affected by one of the Crises Moon periods, usually one that falls close to a natal planet.

When a crisis arises, my advice is always to “stay calm, relax and make no impulsive decisions for at least a week.” The most critical are eclipses. The most potent occurred on April 15, 1995, because it occurred at the time of a Lunar Eclipse.

Of course, the event it portended was the Oklahoma City bombing as the Eclipse fell on the ASC/DESC axis over that city. The WTC/Pentagon attack occurred within a wide orb of a Crisis Lunation. The US invaded Iraq on a Crisis Full Moon in March 2003.

I remember one example – a father called about his daughter who had run away from home about 4 days before the CFM. I told him what was occurring and that he should wait for about a week and she would likely return home….and she did. After the effects of the CFM were over, she became rational again. Hormones and a CFM are not a good mix!

During the year, there are generally 4 Crisis New Moons and 4 Crisis Full Moons. There is usually only ONE of these CFMs that hits you — generally, not all of them … and you cannot always tell which one it is going to be.

When it hits, you go crazy and your emotions are magnified. But, when the Moon begins to move away from the earth, we calm down. I am a Virgo so a rational explanation is very satisfying for me. If I know that I am feeling this way because of some astrological/astronomical configuration, it makes it seem OK and I feel much better.

I first noticed this lunation in the early 1970s when my grandfather was in a nursing home. I saw that there were certain lunations in which the patients, called the Walkers, would pace more than usual. At that time, all I had was the Farmers Almanac to determine what was going on with the Moon. At first, I only used the Full Moon. Many years later, I saw that another astrologer, Richard Nolle, used the Perigee New Moon…and he is absolutely correct. These work the same.

PERSONAL EXPERIENCES: Full Moon: The Full Moon of July 3 2012 was 2 days away from perigee. It seemed like the worst Crises Lunation to me with the horrible storm, loss of power and the loss of my beautiful Yard Tractor when a huge tree fell on it, crushing all but the headlights.

Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse: On April 25 2013, the Perigee Moon occurred at the time of the lunar eclipse. This has been a terrible time with fires, explosions and political crises. Around May 25, another eclipse, bridges collapsed and earthquakes brought destruction. Personally, I have had health issues around these eclipses and mechanical problems – a DVD got stuck in my TV with a DVD combo and then a CD got stuck in my car CD player (at least, the car is still on warranty).

Full Moon: I have been experiencing endocrine-related health issues since last November (2012). After finding a wonderful doctor and feeling much improved, the July 20 2013 Full Moon brought a big-time relapse for reasons I do not understand. It could have been stress-related – the impending county fair, a friend visiting, and NCGR conference – but I improved by August 13.

Full Moon: The Full Moon Crises Lunation of August 21 2013 was the one that hit me with a vengeance. I am a very cautious driver and, on the 20th, despite wonderful transits and progressions in my chart for this period, I had a very bad accident pulling out of the visitors’ center in Wildwood New Jersey. I was so cautious pulling out because the road visibility was poor. A truck filled with young people, who were obviously speeding, hit my car. If the good aspects helped, the worse did not happen. We were fine, no damage to the truck (the driver claimed I did all kinds of damage but I clued the insurance company of what he was trying to pull and I had photos to prove my point), and the kind folks at the visitors’ center came out and helped tie the bumper back onto the car so that I could continue my trip. Everyone was so kind there. I learned on this trip that any visitors’ center can arrange discount rooms.

For the CFM of June 2014, my small female cat developed sinusitis. At first, the vet did not diagnose it properly so the medication I was giving her did not work. Finally, I just took the cat to stay over with the vet until he could observe her properly. This was a very stressful time when the cat was in crisis!

The October 8 2014 Crisis Lunation hit people closest to me – my partner had a second eye stroke from high blood pressure. We are hoping that his sight will return in early 2015 but he can no longer work – this is a big crisis!

One of my best friends hired a group to work on her house – they did nothing correctly and it was a disaster! And, because they did not speak much English, she could not tell them what she wanted.

The Crises New Moon of February 18 2015 was horrible and long lasting. What I thought was a sinus infection turned out to be a tooth issue and did not resolve easily or quickly. Enough said about this!

Just before the Crises Full Moon of August 29, 2015, I was served papers stating that I was being sued. I was traumatized. As I read the papers, the lawsuit was regarding a minor accident I had at the Crises Full Moon on August 21 2013 (see above). The only damage was to my car but the lawsuit states that he has suffered permanent disability and he will never be able to work again. A good friend, with a Stellium in Virgo in the 12th (she should have been a detective), researched Adam V. Walker on the internet.

The paper said that he “resides in Delmont NJ.” Delmont is the location of the state prison. He had been in jail for a year, filed the papers while in jail and he needed money for when he was up for parole on August 18 (papers filed on August 12). Yes, he will probably never be able to work with his criminal record. I was sent a list of New Jersey lawyers, thinking I would try to buy him off as opposed to calling my insurance company. It was handled by their fraud department and, if they simply call the jail warden, he may be heading back to jail to finish his sentence.  In the end, the judge threw out the case and I won.

The Crises Lunation for mid-September 2024 did not hit me but I felt the emotional reaction.  A close friend got caught in a scam.  Someone called to say that his iPhone was hacked – which it was not.  Actually, this person experienced 3 scams all within a short period.  The culprits did not get any money but it was stressful.

There is an interesting pattern when Uranus enters the sign of Gemini in 2026. Since its discovery, there has been a great battle for Democracy. First, the American Revolution; Second, the American Civil War; Third, World War II.

I realized after attending lectures and concerts that saluted the “Greatest Generation” of the Age. I realized that this Greatest Generation were largely born with Uranus in Pisces and were called to service when the Battle for Democracy began with Uranus in Gemini (their first Uranus Square).

The Pattern at the American Civil War is repeating again – in 2027, Uranus in Gemini and Neptune in Aries repeat their alignment from the 1800s. This was a battle to save our Democracy and our Constitution, specifically the Declaration of Independence.

Many respected economic and mundane astrologers have predicted a great civil war. We can see the seeds of this with the Trucker Strikes and the Vaccination Rebellion with Saturn in Aquarius.

In my studies in Theosophy, I observed that Esoteric Gemini rules the concept and Principles of Democracy – that all people have the education, the freedom and the accurate information by which they can make accurate decisions for themselves. Dis-information is a step in the direction of dismantling Democracies around the world.

Bill Sarubbi (Meridian) states that, in May 2031, humanity will be forced to make a choice between the Higher Self and the lower self.  NOTE:  A friend corrected me by saying it was 2025-26.

I have always had great respect for Bill’s predictions.

FROM A BERLIN ASTROLOGER REGARDING TRUMP’S FIRST ELECTION:

The collective mind/soul which is regressing to old patterns of behavior, born out of old, collective fears. The U.S.A. never experienced dictatorship and they feel patriotic without having to confront the negative aspects of nationalism.

In Germany, it had always been a threat but the only reference the younger generation has to this period is the teachings of the elders.

People are simply looking for identity, feeling overwhelmed by rapid changes, by influences they cannot understand or cope.  They are looking for a ‘Savior’ or an ideology which gives them back some kind of feeling of self-worth and support.

May it be Trump, or Putin, or Kim Yong Oon, or Hitler: These leaders all had this kind of link to the ‘group soul’ of the masses, articulating its fears, and seemingly having a ‘remedy’ to cure it.

As long people are unwilling to think and decide and take responsibility by themselves and for themselves, this will still work…for a while.

Pluto in Capricorn makes me believe that the collective is not ripe for democracy at all.  The so-called ‘swarm intelligence’ is still about to follow the most talented Pied Piper.

Crisis Lunation periods occurs when, at the time that the Moon is New or Full, the Moon is physically very close to the earth. This closeness-lunation parallel will amplify our emotional reactions, bringing matters to a crisis point. This Crisis Moon period usually begins about one week before the New/Full Moon and lasts several days afterward.  There is nothing SUPER about it – it is a Crises Lunation.

I find that you are only affected by one of the Crisis Moon periods, usually one that falls close to a natal planet. When a crisis arises, my advice is always to “stay calm, relax and make no impulsive decisions for at least a week.” The most critical are eclipses.

A most potent occurred on April 15, 1995, because it occurred at the time of a Lunar Eclipse. Of course, the event it portended was the Oklahoma City bombing as the Eclipse fell on the ASC/DESC axis over that city. The WTC/Pentagon attack occurred within a wide orb of a Crisis Lunation.

The US invaded Iraq on a Crisis Full Moon in March 2003. I remember one example – a father called about his daughter who had run away from home about 4 days before the CFM. I told him what was occurring and that he should wait for about a week and she would likely return home….and she did. After the effects of the CFM were over, she became rational again.

I am a Virgo so a rational explanation is very satisfying for me. If I know that I am feeling this way because of some astrological/astronomical configuration, it makes it seem OK and I feel much better. Yet, there are times when events occur that are not transient.

Crises Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse:  On April 25 2013, the Perigee Moon occurred at the time of the lunar eclipse.  This had been a terrible time with fires, explosions and political crises.  Around May 25, another eclipse, bridges collapsed and earthquakes brought destruction.

During a Personal Crises Lunation in 2013, I had an automobile accident and, at another Crises Lunation in 2015, after getting out of jail, this man with whom I had the accident tried to sue me for total disability, hoping that I would not show up in New Jersey for the deposition.  I have this discussed under the list of personal experiences.

In January 2019, at the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse Crises Lunation, I received a message that my dad had passed away while I was in Switzerland.

The month of August 2019 had a Crisis New Moon at the beginning and at the end of the month. This is somewhat like a Blue Moon month. The Blue Moon (see a short article on my website) is a Full Moon at the beginning and end of the month. It is my experience that it is like an entire month of Full Moon crises and tension. August being bracketed by a Crises New Moon is like a month of crises – at least for me. I had a dental crisis, my cat became very ill, and the non-profit that runs my farm had taken all of the joy out of farming for me. Yes, I have a good lawyer.

The Crises New Moon occurred on my birthday, August 30, 2019. A lunation occurring on or within a day of one’s birthday will trigger a major change within the coming year. This works even if it is not a Crises Lunation. The major change was in my home – major renovations and Bill moved in with me.

At the March 2020 CFM, I had a terrible panic attack at night – I thought I was going to have a heart attack. In August and September, with the CNMs, there were so many plumbing problems. My pipes are mostly from the 1930s so they are in bad shape.   During the November CNM, my old desktop started to grind and make a lot of noise. Just as I was about to take it to Ellicott City to a repair shop, my lawyer came by and told me about a mutual friend a couple of blocks away and he fixed it for $20!!!  It just needed cleaning and oiling.

The Crises Full Moon for August 19 2024 has Saturn square Jupiter at 17 degrees (Pisces/Gemini).  This hits my natal Uranus at 17 Gemini.  I have felt very depressed and over-whelmed.  I did have a crisis as the energy moved towards this period – I ran over some decorated rocks left in the high grass by some volunteers and they broke the blades on my tractor (and I have an acre to mow).  The good news is that I purchased my Cub Cadet at Zimmermans in Burtonsville MD.  They immediately came down, picked up the tractor and returned it in 2 days!  It was more of a crisis since using a push mow is difficult since I tore the ligaments in the back of my left knee – while doing stretching exercises in the bed.

In 1966, I went to an astrologer for the first time in my life.  It was a life-altering event and I knew that I wanted to be just like this astrologer, Catherine Grant. During the course of the reading, she told me about the upcoming Great Jupiter-Uranus Conjunction in 1969.  She informed me that, when it occurs in Aries or Libra, there is always a great scientific breakthrough that impacts the world — ”Just watch what happens in July of 1969!!”  I could hardly wait as it was only 3 years away.  Indeed, at that time, in July of 1969, there was a great scientific breakthrough as man landed on the Moon.

When I looked back into history for the last Conjunction in Aries, this was when Lindburgh crossed the Atlantic – anyone with a radio was listening to hear the news of his safe arrival on the Irish coast.   And, 42 years later, the world would be watching on television.  These two events were not just an American Experience but a World Experience, an achievement of the Human Race.

When these two planets move into an alignment of 36 degrees, usually during the preceding year, we get a glimpse as to the nature of this breakthrough.  In 1968, during the 36 degree approach, we began sending astronauts around the Moon, preceding the actual lunar landing.

Jupiter and Uranus are aligned every 14 years.  In any sign, I have found this Conjunction to represent an expansive time in my personal life:

1969 – This is the year when I became a full-time professional astrologer.  With the Lunar Landing, astrology was very popular and astrologers were in demand.  It was very easy to transition into a full-time practice in 1969.

1983 – During this period, I was studying and teaching Esoteric Astrology & Psychology.  This was an expansive period and, for me, these studies were life-altering.  The new organization that I helped initiate in 1982, AMETHYST, brought a great deal of recognition and publicity for me.

1997 – This was a major turning point in my life in terms of my diet, weight loss and appearance.  This gave me such confidence and I was never the same again.  I was a featured speaker at an international astrological conference.  Yet, an important relationship ended.  Looking back, this was an important part of my expansion process.

2010 — During this period, there was a breaking up of the Aries-Libra conjunction.  There was only one hit at 0 Aries but, on September 18 (2010) and January 4 (2011), the conjunctions occurred at 27-28 Pisces.  This broke up the trend of great scientific breakthroughs – except if you want to include Apple introducing the iPad.

Years ago, at the home of Mary Downing, astrologers were discussing the observation that Virgo-Pisces planetary configurations historically have an impact upon Afro-Americans.  We elected the first Black president who instituted the Affordable Care Act so that everyone could have health insurance.

Personally, it was a professional breakthrough for me.  I gave my first medical lecture for a Baltimore conference – this was the first time my colleagues hear me speak on this subject.  This opened up opportunities and I became an officer on the NCGR National Board.

Think about what happened to you during these cycles in your own life.  There were difficult experiences but, overall, these were highly expansive periods in my life.  It is a progressive cycle so that it is much easier to do progressive things.

This article is not about historical events but about how we will experience the Great Jupiter-Uranus Conjunction.  Where this Conjunction falls in the natal horoscope shows where we feel compelled to take a risk with our lives, to experience adventure, to explore our creative potential and to overcome the fears in our lives.

There is always something within the human psychology that resists change so that there will still be a lot of psychological “arm wrestling.”  That is, some of us may not be ready to let go of the past.  There will be some people, like the old dinosaurs, who are about to become extinct — people who will never change.

The April 2024 Jupiter-Uranus conjunction will occur at 21 Taurus.  The last time that this conjunction occurred in Taurus was in May 1941.  Americans were highly resistant change, to any involvement in the war in Europe, until Japan bombed Pearl Harbor and Hitler declared war on the U.S. – we were forced into making changes.  Once again, we may be forced to accept changes that we have been resisting.

The significant breakthroughs were the isolation of plutonium that contributed to the development of the nuclear bomb – that ended WWII.  Then, the development of the first computer to be controlled by software.

֎

There will be those Creative Souls who are willing to take a leap of consciousness and a leap of faith into a New Dimension of Being.  Our world is changing and we must change with it.  If you want to understand diversity in the multi-cultural society, learn to value and respect the opinions of others, even if you do not agree with them.

Let’s look at the conjunction in the different Houses for a more personal interpretation.

In the 1^st House, the individual is willing to take risks in self-expression, to take a risk in the projection of the self out into the world, and to express the self in a new way.  Often, this House will attract the individual to political and activist activities, seeking to bring changes into the world and to be politically active in the expression of one’s views.  It is a time to stand up for your beliefs.  While this may appear to be a 9^th House experience, in actuality, the core identity will change.

In the 12^th House, however, you are to take the risk of exploring your true inner nature, to find out who you really are, to confront your fears, where you fear life, intimacy and people – all of which makes you feel a bit disconnected.  Changes will occur on the inside before they can manifest externally – and they will indeed manifest externally.  This is not an inactive time.  A little used interpretation of the 12^th House is that it rules distance places where people do not know your “old self.”  You can find yourself more active in some place or location where no one knows your “old self,” freeing you to explore and flower into the new self.   There are transformational experiences that start on the inside.

In the 2^nd, 6^th and 10^th Houses, the individual is willing to take a risk with the career, to follow one’s heart and seek to simplify one’s life in terms of material acquisitiveness.  In the 2^nd House, your values will be transformed in order to give new meaning to the life.  You may feel lost until some new activity is found that gives new meaning and new direction to the life.  In 1969, the Libra Conjunction occurred in my 2^nd House.  I caught the expansive wave and pursued my dream of being an astrologer.  In the 6^th House, you seek changes in the habits and systems in your life, freeing yourself from addictive patterns and learning to coordinate your efforts with others.  The meaning of coordination/collaboration must be clearly defined.  The 2^nd and 6^th Houses are Healing Houses and some may find a special interest in the Healing Arts.  In the 10^th House, there will be a transformation in your attitude toward authority so that you can assume your own role as an authority figure.  Each of these Houses show a need to achieve a sense of wholeness and integration through doing what is best for the Whole, operating from your Center of Integrity and not reacting to the critical complaints of others.

In the 3^rd and 9^th Houses, the individual must take the risk to change thinking patterns, to explore new mental worlds and to transform long cherished but outmoded concepts.  In order to continue to grow, the individual must embrace new ideas, new techniques, new technologies, even new philosophies and cultures rather than maintain the old order of doing, thinking and believing.  Travel and education will have a transformational impact upon the life.

In the 4^th House, we are urged to break free from old ancestral patterns in our lives, to uproot ourselves from our environment and to take the risk of making drastic change in our foundations, for a new way of being that supports who we are.  Natal planets in the 4^th House often describe emotional shocks or traumas in the childhood that bind us to the past.  The 4^th House represents behavior patterns – fear, guilt or an undue sense of responsibility – that have been passed down through the generations that keep us from growing and moving forward.   This is a time to make a break with the past!

With the Great Conjunction occurring in the 4th House, we need to take the risk of changing those old outmoded concepts, to liberate ourselves from the past in order to embrace the future.   One of my students was raised in a family in which all of the children were told repeatedly that, if they want to be happy, they should never have children – and no one ever took the risk to change this programming and have children.  With the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in her 4^th House, this woman found herself pregnant for the first time in her life – and she was in her mid-40s!  In taking the risk to start a family, she shook the foundations of her entire family, changing the traditions for everyone in her family!

The 8^th House is a House of Transformation.  This House rules all things totally beyond our control and our attitude toward such matters – how we feel about being out of control.  Transformational events can occur, totally beyond our control, and we are challenged to flow with whatever happens rather than engage in a futile attempt to control.  Sometimes, the feeling of powerlessness in the 3-dimensional world facilitates the development of empowerment through new spiritual values and insights.  This spirituality can produce healing talents – physical, emotional, mental, spiritual and even economic – through which the individual can transform the lives of others.

In the 5^th House, this is a cycle for creative transformation of the personality, a time to get in touch with the inner child and to take a risk with creativity.  It is a time to explore what gives you inner joy, to find something that gives you so much pleasure that you just do it., without regard for the approval or disapproval of others.  It is a cycle for re-defining the concept of LOVE, what makes us feel loved and appreciated.  For this reason, this can be disruptive to some of our personal relationships.

The 7^th and 11^th Houses rule our relationship with others – personal intimacy with the 7^th House and the intimacy of shared goals with the 11^th House.  This is a cycle to take the risk of expanding one’s social circle beyond what is comfortable and familiar.  I personally spent many years meditating in groups to expand my consciousness but this was never achieved.  It was only when I went out into the world, explored the unfamiliar, the unknown, in relationships, that my own consciousness began to expand.

The 7^th House asks the individual to re-define what is really needed in terms of relationships.  Maybe you do not need as much closeness in your relationships — maybe you need something less traditional, maybe you need to find an important aspiration that bonds you to others.   A friend found that her new job provided a sense of community connectedness – “it was not just a job but a place where a great diversity of people could meet and share interests.”  The 7^th House is a Public House, the projection of self into a public arena.  Yet, all of the changes that come into our lives will be directed by others.  We must follow their lead if we are to trust, grow and expand.

In the 11^th House, Jupiter-Uranus marks a cycle for taking a risk in connecting socially with others, with people who are different, unusual, but with whom there are shared goals and aspirations.  Both the 7^th and 11^th Houses need to connect with people with whom you can experience something bigger than the relationship.  In depersonalizing the relationship, we can explore a great vision in relating to others.

I emphasize the concept of intimacy, with one’s self and others, in interpreting the effects of the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction.  Resulting from the previous conjunctions of Uranus-Pluto and the Great Capricorn alignment, humanity seemed to experience a loss of intimacy as we sought to discover ourselves in career-oriented and materialistic ways.  The Uranus-Pluto square led to a crisis commencing in 2012-2014 for rebelling against government and big businesses that are no longer responsive to the will of the people.

With the Saturn-Uranus-Neptune alignments in the late 1980s-early 1990s, there arose an awareness that something had been lost.  Spirit had been abandoned.  The Jupiter-Uranus Conjunction provides an opportunity to reconnect with the creative part of ourselves, a part that we relinquished for external security.

Relating and intimacy under the Jupiter-Uranus Conjunction will be experienced through a sense of community, connecting with what has been lost in a new, dynamic way.  No one relationship can satisfy its expansive needs.  Initially, this Taurus Conjunction may force on a road that is very difficult to walk.

In modern times, when humanity takes a leap in consciousness, this is paralleled with great advances in technology, psychological understanding of ourselves and a renewed demand for human rights.  Such a major breakthrough can stun the thinking of the masses, uprooting us from the past so that we can take a leap of consciousness.

NOTE:  An excellent reference on the Alignment Cycles of the Planets can be discovered in Richard Tarnas’ excellent tome, COSMOS & PSYCHE.  On page 480, he states, “All periods involving major Uranus alignments tend to constellate these themes in concrete events, each cycle doing so with different inflections according to the second planets involved.”

From MAY 1 through JUNE  2024, Mars transits the sign of Aries. Personal energies at this time tend to be fiery, impulsive and high spirited. Anger is quick to form but it often blows over quickly. While it is a good period for dealing with crises as they arise, it may not be good for the long haul since this is an impatient sign. For this type of effort, wait until Mars enters the sign of Taurus on February 14..

In examining my personal journals, I found Mars in Aries to be a time when I started a lot of new activities and projects but these activities caused a lot of crises! The word chaos appeared several times in my journals. Crises arose through anger and bad temper in others. In the 1990s, when Mars in Aries was making difficult aspects to other planets, I felt that others were speeding ahead of me which left me feeling depressed, alienated and a bit confused. When life speeds up and crises explode, the Cardinal signs (Aries-Cancer-Libra-Capricorn) can become indecisive. The enthusiasm of ill-considered projects was short-lived. I felt bored without the stimulation of something new — and then I found myself alleviating this boredom with compulsive behavior (usually shopping and buying things that I did not really need).

With many crises occurring around me, I found myself consumed by the “brushfires” generated by others. People were either angry or “in crisis!  Even when a friend visited from the west coast, he was in the midst of his personal anger issues. As I read these earlier journals, I wondered how I survived all of these crises that others generated around me. I found myself emotionally disengaging in order to cope.

In retrospect, I realize that one can experience great difficulty if you do not know how to handle the crises of others that impact upon your life. It is important to know that you can say NO…or NO MORE! If it is not your problem, if it is not your crisis, do not get involved. Make yourself less available to others. Aries supports having fun and planning adventures. During one Mars in Aries transit, the AFA assigned a wild Texas woman as my roommate at their convention. She stirred up a lot of adventures and I had a wonderful time. It is essential that you do not waste your time catering to the predicaments of others. Get on with your own life. No one can solve another’s crisis except that person!

During the 2003 and 2005 transit of Mars in Aries, I found myself experiencing new activities and having new adventures in my life. I wrote new and innovative articles. However, there were crises! In 2005, it was the crisis over the farmers market – the local farmers being thrown out for out of state farmers. Friends and neighbors joined in aggressive town meetings and letter writing campaigns and I ultimately won my case, at least for my dad. With some activities that I initiated, not all was realized or fulfilled. During both cycles, I had crises with my cable television not working and the repairmen not showing up as promised.  I also had problems with my office equipment. In one case, I had to tell a client off and tell her never to call me again. It may be because Mars in Aries transits my 8th House but each time I was given a great deal of money.

In 2007, Mars in Aries had a profound effect upon my career. While I gave one of my best workshops in Chicago at that time, the most significant event was that Molly Cliborne created my website. When she sent me the mock-up, it took my breath away…it was so beautiful. There have been long range effects for this New Beginning and, in March 2009, I was getting over 1000 hits every day! That Mars in Aries was very well aspected to other Jupiter-Saturn-Neptune-Pluto and it showed in the effect that this website had upon my career and international recognition.

In 2017, this period initially brought health major crises. My dad was not doing well — weak, water retention and breathing problems. I took him to a surgeon who wanted to do a lot of different procedures, hoping that they would work, and Charlie would be bed ridden for awhile. When I had time to think about this, I said NO! And, this was a good thing because it turned out that he just needed his pacemaker replaced. The battery was dead! His regular physician urged me to go to Europe in March and he would replace the battery in April — after which, my dad returned to normal health.

I know that I was suffering from PTSD from the election. My Cortisol levels were very high but I used Holy Basil and Lemon Balm to lower this.

The good part of this period was a visit from my Austrian friend, Ingrid, and the Baltimore NCGR conference. This is a great conference and I had a great time.

In 2019, the crisis was around the death of my dad and my aunt on the same day.  I was in Switzerland at the time and I had to fly back home immediately.  For the first time, I was an orphan and I had to do everything practical myself.  I realize that my parents never taught me anything about living in the real world.

MEDICAL: When angered or provoked, Mars is in Aries will manifest as a disturbance in the biochemical cell salt of Potassium Phosphate (Kali Phos). This cell salt creates the grey matter of the brain by uniting with albumen and oxygen. Kali phos. is given for mental or physical exhaustion often brought on by extreme stress, over-exertion, anaemia, following flu or an acute illness. Complaints can be accompanied by profuse sweat after the slightest physical exertion. Potassium is essential for proper nerve functioning and impulses within the nervous system. Kali Phos (Nerve Nutrient) is useful for treatment of nervous conditions such as headaches, nervous exhaustion, dyspepsia, insomnia, depression and lowered vitality. Used with Mag Phos,it is recommended for shingles and nervous asthma.

Kali Phos has antiseptic properties and it is recommended for all skin troubles, especially where there is an irritation and, with Ferrum Phos, if there is a burning sensation. Years ago I recommended this in an article on intercepted signs. A woman had spent a small fortune working with a holistic doctor who could not cure the skin irritation on her hands. She took Kali Phos and, within one week, she was cured!

Intercepted planets operate like 12^th House planets in that they represent blocked energy.  Unlike 12^th House planets, the intercepted planet can only express itself in the House in which it is placed.  Once the intercepted planet gains momentum, it is very powerful.

Initially, the energy of the planet is intercepted, fenced-in and blocked by the parents or the environment.  Once the individual finds an outlet for the energy of the planet, it is a very powerful force in the life.

I found an old article without the author on Interceptions, which I believe was THE MERCURY HOUR.   Since the copyright has long since expired (from the 1980s), I feel that I can share this.  The author states: “If the Sun, Moon, ruler of the Ascendant or if the ruler of the intercepted signs are also intercepted, there may be some delay in getting the life stated in the right direction.  Tensions and frustrations must be worked out.  Often the best avenue is through the House that the intercepted planet rules.  If there are no planets in the intercepted signs, the House itself needs attention.”

This author iterates my thoughts exactly as I have observed them in natal charts.  I will also add that, if the ruler of the intercepted sign is in the 12^th House, life will also be delayed.

I use interceptions in medical astrology.  If there is no outlet for the sign/planet, it can lead to health issues.  I have three planets intercepted in Gemini – Moon-Uranus-Mars.  These energies were definitely blocked by my mother as I was growing up.  Eventually, I developed allergies and respiratory illnesses until my studies in astrology liberated these planets.  In the 10^th House, it was through my practice of professional astrology.

NOTE:  On my website, under Medical, I have an article on medical astrology and the intercepted signs.

NOTE:  The unknown author turns out to be Marion March from one of her THE ONLY WAY OT LEARN ASTROLOGY books.

SUN:  A sense of “who I am” was not instilled by the parents so that the individual initially lacks a sense of purpose, direction and career ambitions.  The individual feels no respect for their own individuality.  Once the intercepted Sun is released into the House in which it is placed, the leadership qualities begin to manifest.  Like a 12^th House Sun, they may not feel that they can be ON, extroverted, 24/7.  They need time to retreat and have “quiet time.”

The unknown author states:  “The Sun intercepted may indicate one who is under some kind of restraint, especially in the early years of life.  The need is to find a special field or place where this person can be comfortable and stand alone.  Often, there is a feeling of some lack within self, making it difficult for the individual to relate to others.  With dedication and proper direction, the individual can go straight to his/her goals.

I might add that, using Astro-Carto-Graphy, the individual is encouraged to visit the Sun Asc/MC or even IC line.  The Sun-Descendant line would give more power to others so this is not advised.

MOON:  During the childhood, the individual was not allowed to express or be in touch with emotions, often experiencing them as being “cut off” or compartmentalized in some way.  This repression can lead to health issues that are connected with the emotions.  Yet, at other times, like a beach ball being pushed under the water and the released, the emotions can flare up beyond the individual’s control, dominating over reason.  The family did not have empathy for the individual’s feelings.

As a child, I was reprimanded against crying.  Any type of emotion made my mother feel uncomfortable and angry.  I learned to keep my tears inside until severe allergies developed whereby tears could flow from my eyes in a more accepted manner.  My eyes would tear and my nose would run just as if I was crying.  Diseases associated with the Solar Plexus Chakra can be affected.

The unknown author states: “An intercepted Moon intensifies the emotions.  Feelings are accentuated but there may be a problem in communicating and, at times, even a speech impediment (although this would have to be verified elsewhere in the chart).  There may be a feeling of rejection and a withdrawal at the emotional level.  Once this is handled, the person can be very effective in communication – then others will listen and heed words spoken.”

 MERCURY:  The individual felt that he/she could not communicate during the early environment – and everyone needs to communicate in some way.  They come to feel that no one understands their ideas or thoughts, especially since they have no experience in communicating with others.  Communication is blocked or frustrated.  This can eventually slow the thyroid as Will and Words become “stuck” in the Throat Chakra.  When you do not express yourself, you do not get feedback on your ideas so they can become distorted or illogical.

The unknown astrologer states: “Mercury intercepted indicates that the thinking process works along lines different from those of others and often this person feels misunderstood and out of step with peers.  Once the individual has learned to evaluate his/her own intellectual integrity, becoming very good at appraising values so that others respect his intellect.”

VENUS:  When Venus is blocked, the individual feels unable to reach out, express and get love in the life in a normal manner.  Relationships may be unsatisfying and unfulfilling because they do not know how to express what they want.  The sign of Venus will indicate the type of love that they need and appreciate.  When you do not know what you value and what makes you feel loved and appreciated, you will ultimately attract the wrong types.

The unknown astrologer states:  “With an intercepted Venus, the individual seeks love in an entirely personal way that may even be secret or held apart from all other area of the life.  Since the idea of love is very intense and limited, the individual may feel that he/she has never really experienced real love.  In this case, a creative outlet is of great benefit.”

Medically, Venus is connected with blood sugar disorders, Lyme disease (and I do not know why except that there my be loneliness or relationship stresses at onset) and the Heart Chakra.

MARS:  When Mars is blocked, anger becomes frustrated and interrupted.  Initiative is blocked by the parents or by early environmental factors.  Anger may be seen as BAD or “don’t do this because you might get hurt.”  Nothing normally excites the individual into action so that they need externals to motivate.   Frustrated anger causes intolerance and sudden outbursts of temper.

Medically, Mars can be accident-prone; it affects the thyroid and the adrenals; auto-immune diseases and chronic inflammations.  This is not so difficult to remedy.  I only have thyroid issues.  However, in the 10^th House, while I am not very ambitious, a lot of energy goes into my work in astrology.  Mars rules my 9^th House and international travel is another energetic outlet for me.

The unknown astrologer states: “An intercepted Mars intensifies power and energy in the horoscope and how it will be worked out is shown by the activities inherent in the House position.  The individual needs a specialized goal for unlimited drive and aggressive energies.”

JUPITER:  When Jupiter is blocked, there can be a limited ability to find an area of freedom and expansive self-expression.  Freedom may be found in externals ruled by the House position since internal freedom cannot be experienced inwardly.  Inner faith may be lacking.  The individual may only find something to believe in from Jupiter’s House position.  Practicality and logic supplace faith.

The unknown astrologer states:  “Jupiter intercepted may indicate difficulties in the early life and a bottling up or frustration of the natural enthusiasms.  The individual has a sense of values that is uniquely his/her own.  When opportunity knocks, the individual can take advantage in a different way than contemporaries.”

Medically, Jupiter is associated with role-playing, moderation and proportion.  For this reason, it is connected with diabetes and eating disorders, and disease of excess.  One individual with Jupiter Intercepted in Pisces developed “gut overgrowth” due to low body temperature and poor HCL.

SATURN:  When Saturn is blocked, there can be issues with the father.  As a result, it may be difficult for the individual to define limits, structure and cultivate a sense of responsibility.  Where are my limits?  Activities of the House position will quickly define these for the individual.

While Saturn is not intercepted in my chart, it is very weakly aspected in the sign of Cancer.  I was never given real supporting structure and a sense of responsibility for my life.  This was a real problem for living in the real world.  Astrology became my substitute parent.  With its House position in the 11^th, I developed a real sense of responsibility in groups, in some type of leadership position.  I also learned lessons about commitment from Capricorn friends – who I hated at first and then, as I become more responsible, I came to love and appreciate.

The unknown astrologer states:  “An intercepted Saturn gives great sensitivity to other’s problems and an uncanny knack for solving problems.  However, things that upset others rarely bother this person and he/she develops an outer expression to enable him/her to take the risks needed to achieve goals.”  NOTE:  That is, without a strong structuring system, one can more easily take risks.”

 Medically, without limits, health issues come from taking on too many responsibilities for others.  This leads to osteo-porosis, osteo-arthritis, neuropathy and back pain.

URANUS:  When Uranus is blocked, the individual is inhibited in expressing the need to be different, to pursue progressive and unique interests, worrying too much (from the parents) about what others will think.  Like Uranus Retrograde, the individual will bottle up-bottle up-bottle up and then explode with a sudden decision or action that may shock others.  The unconventional may make the individual feel uncomfortable.  These actions may be externally motivated.

The unknown astrologer states:  “With Uranus intercepted, there is a certain timidity of expression, particularly where originality is concerned.  There is a fear of ridicule.  There is a need to overcome the sensitivity that will not allow the individual to express his/her idealism and uniqueness.”

Medically, Uranus rules the electromagnetic field, the electrical currents that run through the Nadis and the nervous system.  Unless the person engages in Uranian activities or career, there are be disruptions in the electrical currents such as spasms and arrhythmia.

NEPTUNE:  With a blocked Neptune, it may be difficult to get in touch with ideals and materialize them.  The individual is cut off from fantasy life and, thus, these can become phobias.  It is important to seek ideals outside of one’s self, possibly in some humanitarian work or travel.  Being practical and realistic were emphasized in the early environment (this is very true of Neptune in the 12^th House and there it is an ancestral pattern).  While the Unknown Astrologer feels the person can be a recluse or dreamer, I do not feel that they were allowed to dream but rather to be more practical and realistic.  Practical studies in creative subjects and mythology are suggested.   They can also have boundary issues – in the 8^th House, they distort reality.

The unknown astrologer states:  “When Neptune is intercepted, there is a desire to avoid leadership.  This is the person who must be urged to step out and assert self or he/she can become a recluse or a dreamer, completely introspective.  If Neptune is angular, there is a strong need to reach out to others and this should be encouraged.

Medically, Neptune is connected with the immune system, allowing overgrowth of bacteria and parasites and even some cancers, such as skin cancer.

IMPORTANT MEDICAL NOTE:  When there is overgrowth of mold and bacteria, there is often a pattern of not defining boundaries in relationships.  Dr. Jenna Henderson:   “Mold likes colder than normal body temperature.  Usually I see a chronically low body temperature where there’s yeast or mold.  They usually have suboptimal thyroid.  If you change the soil, you change what grows there.

Acidity (HCL with Pepsin prevents h. Pylori) in the stomach is an important barrier to keep many pathogens out of the rest of the GI tract.  If using any antacids, it would be good to phase it out and look at other ways to control reflux.  

 PLUTO:  With Pluto blocked, the need to feel powerful, to express personal power, is limited except in the House position.  Transformation occurs from outside of one’s control.  Feeling empowered will come through the activities of the House position.

The unknown astrologer states: “With Pluto intercepted, the life motivation is different from that which spurs others.  This person’s need for action often comes from a group feeling and a giant need for approval.  The individual should be urged to use the deep sense of obligation to investigate the life thoroughly and completely.”

Medically, Pluto is associated with psychological feelings of powerlessness.  This occurs with prostate cancer with men.  Many cancers arise from repressed resentments that suddenly surface in the life

PREDICTIONS GIVEN FOR 2022:  Lynn Koiner

PLUTO IN CAPRICORN:  2009 through 2024 (here it goes back and forth from Capricorn into Aquarius)

The Sign in which Pluto transits denotes the world crises focus, the “terrorism of the moment” and what needs to be transformed in the current social order.  In entering Capricorn, Pluto crossed a World Crisis Point (World Points are 0° Cardinal signs).  Changes and transformations occur that have a global impact.

When Pluto transited Scorpio, the crisis was AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases.  When it entered Sagittarius, AIDS did not go away but it was put on the back burner of our concerns as new, effective medications replaced the cocktail of drugs that did not always work.

In Sagittarius, the new terrorism was fueled by religious fanaticism – not just by Moslem extremists but Christian fundamentalism as well.  In 1984, I predicted that the Sagittarius cycle would “knock the hat off the Pope.”  I have observed that any outer planet transiting Sagittarius will produce scandals and the Catholic Church was the first to take the hit.  The only way to successfully survive a Sagittarius transit is to tell the truth.  President Eisenhower did this in 1960 with Jupiter is Sagittarius and the Gary Powers U2 incident.  His presidency was in crisis until he just told the truth – “Yes, we are spying on the communists!”

The new source of terrorism will be observed in governments that are controlled by big corporations.  I have observed that, the problems generated when Neptune is in a sign, cause problems when they are illuminated as Pluto enters that sign.  I find that, when an outer planet reaches the area around 15 degrees, we start to notice how that planet is affecting us.  It becomes obvious at that point.

According to a lecture at the National Endowment for Democracy (established under Reagan), the speaker said that, when big corporations own the government, the politics and the working class move towards the Conservative Right.  However, in doing so, the corporate policies work against its workers.

Going back in time when Neptune was in Capricorn, President Reagan was very naïve about big business.  He felt that what was good for the big corporations will be good for America and Americans.  His sweeping deregulations and, later, a Supreme Court decision to allow corporations to donate to political parties with impunity caused campaigning to be only for the rich.  Corporations can more easily control elections with their financial donations.  Then, Reagan overturned the fairness act by which a radio or television program must give equal time to each party or candidate – if 10 minutes was given to one politician, then equal time had to be given to his opponent.  Fairness and Honesty were no longer requirements in publicity.  This has given rise to Rage Radio – inflaming listeners with much false information or exaggerated information.

Fiscal irresponsibility led to the U.S. to become a Debtor Nation for the first time since 1914!  While Nixon drastically reduced taxes for the very wealthy, Reagan’s Tax Reform states that the more money you make the less taxes you pay – not favoring the poor or middle class.

Under the Bush administration, the president was given unprecedented power.  Congress rolled back our Constitution with Checks and Balances, established by our Founding Fathers so that Fascism could not occur in this country.  This Institutional Terrorism has been occurring all along but it is finally be in our face during the Capricorn Cycle.  In this latter part of the cycle, terrorism is internal…portending a Civil War once again when Uranus in in Gemini and Neptune is in Aries, in the 2020s and 2030s.

I remember anti-monopoly/Trust laws that prevented a single company from taking over its competition.  Where are these laws now?  Only very rarely are the anti-trust laws invoked.  Our communication networks are in the hands of a very few people so that our news is filtered through their personal, biased perspective.  Stockholders do not challenge the big corporations when they lay-off thousands of employees in order to keep their expenses down and stock prices up.  This Institutional Crisis occurred early in the Capricorn Cycle, more noticeably from 2012-2014 with the Uranus-Pluto square that creates a massive fiscal crisis.  In 2012, there was a plunge in the world markets.  We always recover but it marked a recessive period.

Looking back in time, during the last Pluto in Capricorn Cycle, the reign of Catherine the Great brought Russia into political dominance in Eastern Europe and the Middle East.  While she initially wanted to initiate progressive reforms, she lapsed into rigid conservatism and control over the people as a result of her fears regarding the Peasant Uprising and the French Revolution.  The rigidity and oppression of Capricorn led to a revolution – something that sounds familiar today.  However, because Pluto in Capricorn and Uranus in Taurus formed a 120° aspect, the true revolutions did not come until Uranus entered Gemini.  Historically, Uranus in Gemini portends a great battle for the principles of democracy – the American and French Revolutions, the American Civil War and WWII.  Uranus will begin its next 7-year transit of Gemini in 2026.   In this current cycle, the change in the order of government and big business will be experienced first with the Uranus-Pluto square from 2012-2014.

In Dell HOROSCOPE many years ago, Bill Meridian (my favorite financial and mundane astrologer) quoted Charles Jayne who, in the 1940s, stated that the transits of Pluto always represent shifts in power.  In 2012, Putin bargained his way into the Russian presidency – eventually for life, a dictatorship.  He sees Americans having to fight for independence once again as a result of Pluto transiting Capricorn.  In the 1700s, we had to battle the tyrant in England.  Now we must battle another type of tyrant – big corporations.

A comment by the late Al Morrison:  I remember hearing him lecture at a conference in the 70s and he was talking about the coming big conjunctions in the sign Capricorn at the end of the century. He predicted that they would herald a new and very conservative era.

Richard Tarnas said that Pluto intensifies the sign it is in.  Usually, there is a strong attempt to suppress the individuality.  Nationalism, as we have now, manifested in the 1930s with Pluto in Cancer and the rise of Fascism.  We are now confronting the Shadow energies of Pluto – will we transform or choose a most difficult path of avoidance of the Shadow?  It is ours to choose.

 In 2017, I wrote to an astrologer in Berlin and this was her comment about the New Trump-Influenced Era:   …it is not only him (Trump) but the collective mind/soul is regressing to old patterns of behavior, born out of old, collective fears.

The U.S.A. never experienced dictatorship and Americans could be/feel patriotic without having to confront the negative aspects of nationalism.  In Germany, it had always been a threat but the only reference the younger generation has are the teachings of its Elders. People are simply looking for identity, feeling overwhelmed by massive changes, by influences they cannot understand or cope.  So, they look for a ‘Savior’ or an ideology which gives back to them some kind of feeling of self-worth and support (such as groups like the Proud Boys who previously felt alienated.

May it be Trump, or Putin, or Kim Yong Oon, or Hitler: They all had this kind of link to the ‘group soul’ of the masses, articulating its fears, and seemingly having a ‘remedy’ to cure it.  As long people are unwilling to think, decide or take responsibility by themselves and for themselves, this will still work for a while but no for long.

This Pluto transit makes me believe that the collective isn’t ripe for democracy at all.  The so-called ‘swarm intelligence’ is still wanting to follow the most talented Pied Piper.  It is easy to influence the masses, as long as there is a (seemingly) realistic promise for better living.

EARTH CHANGES:

Since its discovery, Pluto in Capricorn portends Earth Changes – great fires, hurricanes, earthquakes, environmental catastrophes and a shift in the water levels.  The Maldives (Islands east of India) are only 3 feet above water.   There was a president of this country to recognized the impact that global warming would have.  He started buying land in India to shift the population when the end was near.  The population did not want to hear this and voted him out.  This ended the relocation goals.  China now owns most of the Maldives.  The French vineyards are dying due to the heat and, now that England’s climate has shifted, the French vineyards are moving to England!  The exceptionally cold winters are due to polar ice breaking off causing a flow of frigid air to flow towards the northern hemisphere countries.

We are embarking upon a cycle in which the Earth is rebelling against how humans have treated it.  Solar Max has just begun, peaking in 2025-26.  When a Coronal Mass Ejection hits the Earth, major earthquakes occur.  The worst earthquake for this country will involved the New Madras fault that, if triggered, will portend the Edgar Cayce predictions that the Great Lakes will eventually flow into the Mississippi and divide the U.S. with a great waterway.  John Van Auken said that the Pyramid Prophecies will end in 2038.

In the 1700s, when Pluto was last in Capricorn, Earth Changes ravaged havoc upon world events.  We were in a mini-Ice Age, due to the Maunder Minimum (almost no sunspots).  In the Netherlands, the waterways were frozen all during the summer.  Crops in Europe, especially France, failed which fueled revolutions.

With the Earth Changes, we will see a mass migration to warmer areas.  During the Mini-Ice Age, there was a mass migration to the United States to escape the weather and its subsequent famines.

When Pluto enters Aquarius (back and forth in 2024; fully in 2025-2043), the technology and informational and financial manipulation that started with Neptune in Aquarius entering this sign in 2001 will become highly problematic.  Pollution into the atmosphere may worsen as the permafrost melts and methane into our atmosphere. Earth Wobble is caused by the oceans.  As melting worsens, the Arctic ice melts and more water will cause instability in the earth’s rotation.  Another aspect to Pluto in Aquarius, the Washington Post says: “the U.S. is considering a radical rethinking of the dollar for today’s digital world.  The U.S. is gingerly considering whether to adopt a digital version of its currency, one better suited for today’s increasingly cashless world, ushering in what could be one of the dollar’s most fundamental transformations.”

An interesting addendum, Bill Meridian’s (pen name) wife, Surya, told me years ago that she felt that Pluto in Capricorn would bring a crisis with rare minerals.  What is interesting is that there has been a nationwide phenomenon with CATALYTIC CONVERTER thefts!  Why?  These contain rare minerals that bring a hefty summon the black market.

☼

Looking ahead, Neptune in Aquarius dissolved boundaries of communication with a new type of subversive activity occurring, ignoring the laws, via the internet.  When Pluto enters Aquarius, the new terrorism will occur through the internet – which has already started.  Pluto in Aquarius brings a revolution against technology and the controls of technology.  When Neptune was in Aquarius, the world voted for the Board of Directors of the World Wide Web – only 3% of Americans voted or even knew about this election.  When Pluto entered Capricorn, an astrologer in Berlin informed me about Hacker Sites.

In order to access these sites, you must solve a hacker problem.  To advance to the higher-level sites, you must solve more complicated hacker problems.  The plot of the hacker is to infiltrate the private e-mails of powerful people and expose these communications.  This form of terrorism is here now with hackers in Russia blackmailing corporations by locking down their computer systems.

WHAT DID JEANNE MOZIER SAY:   Our beloved speaker, Jeanne Mozier, died at the end of 2020.  I have notes from her lectures and I wrote many articles based upon her thoughts.

Jeanne described the period from 2008 through 2015, with Uranus-Pluto, as a Cycle of Chaos.  It should be noted that astrology does not run on a calendar year – cycles begin with an outer planet enters a new sign.  As the last outer planet, Neptune, changed signs, many things that we know now will disappear, never to be seen again.  In Theosophy, Iris White once said: “Appreciate everything on your planet now because it will never be this way again.”  LYNN:  In 2008 and 2012, we had economic crises and a plummeting stock market.

There are two major forces active:  Pluto in Capricorn’s continued revolution and disruption of established forms and Neptune entering Pisces, causing the dissolution of boundaries and the awareness of Leaderless Mobs, devoid of logic and reason.  January 6 2021 is a good example of this.

Jeanne added that, as a Trends Analyst in Political Science and Political Relations (for the CIA, no less), she observed that Astrology is the best system for making these analyses because one can readily see the patterns.

Pluto will be in Capricorn until 2024:  This is a cycle for breaking down our structures and institutions to molecular level so that the new can manifest.  The Forces of the Establishment, Institutions, the Corporate World that are conservative and, therefore, inflexible, will crumble when the cycle ends.   The Rights of the Individual will be at variance with the World Force.  Globalization must eventually be shaped to respect the individual.

As Jeanne stated in 2011, Pluto in Capricorn will make life very difficult everyone.  The obstacles are still the old, crystallized forms – governments, institutions and corporations – but these will crumble down to their molecular level.   There are those who fear the sweeping changes occurring in society now.  Even old people in Russian who could not change with modern times long to return to the days of the cruel dictator, Stalin.  Revolutions will occur to restructure these.  These obstacles will arise through the fears associated with transformations.  As Alice Howell states in THE HEAVENS DECLARE, when humanity becomes so polarized, a New Era is about to occur.  These New Eras do not come easily but as a result of a revolution.  Lynn feels that this timing will be when Uranus is in Gemini and Neptune in Aries.

In 2015, Jeanne made these predictions:

Uranus-Neptune-Pluto Predictions: 

• Physical Epidemics – Started with Pluto-Saturn and peaks with Saturn square Uranus
• Secrets created and exposed
• Great technological developments and inventions (cars that can drive themselves – inventions are a monthly occurrence)
• Unification of the Islamic World (becoming a threat to the western world)
• Focus upon Mental Health — resulting from the madness of the shootings globally and the fears around political and societal revolutions
• Institutions crumble quickly
• Reactionary forces to tighten controls – controls that were eliminated when Neptune was in Capricorn
• Green Revolution to GMO crops, poisoning the land and the people – Many people are becoming Vegan. Local farmers markets and sustainable gardening are very popular.  Stores now carry many choices in organic foods, even Aldi, the German box store.
• Emotionally fueled movements, swept by mobs – radicalization by Islam followed my Internal Terrorism from White Supremist groups.  NOTE:  According to Oleg Kalugin, Putin has Plants on both sides of an issue to keep democratic countries in conflict with their citizens.

Just before Jeanne passed away, she discussed Neptune in Pisces and Mass Madness and the addiction to Fake News.  She said that our country needs leaders who are in tune with the energies at the time.  During an astrological cycle of Chaos, Trump fit with the chaotic energies.

She said that CoVid would transform our economy.  Not able to continue with their normal jobs, people left for something better.  People working in underpaid jobs are making sweeping career changes.

Our current job market is expanding while less desirable jobs go wanting.  It is a cycle that favors Labor and now workers can demand better pay.  You do not have to have any flying experience as the airlines will train you with the 1800 flying hours.  This is the greatest shift in labor since the two World Wars.

In conclusion, Pluto is now in the Ending Degrees of Capricorn.  These are what Gilbert Navarro termed the “End of One’s Rope” Degrees.  Being at the end of a sign, it is like a boil that is about to break.  It is very painful.  People act out of desperation.  Acts of violence are prominent in the news, especially with Pluto.  If you have a planet being aspected at an Ending Degree, it is time to shut the door and move on.  When anything get complicated, let go.

NEPTUNE IN PISCES:  Summer 2011 through January 2026

From my notes from Jeanne Mozier –

There may be earth disasters due to imbalances on the planet – a dramatic, natural disaster followed by outpouring of compassion.[1]

The compassion is due to Neptune in Pisces and many people, now more in tune with multi-dimensional realities, will manifest this.  Yet, there will be many others who make outrageous predictions to feed on the fear of the masses – this is how they make money (feeding on fear) and stay on television and radio.  This is the result of Neptune in Capricorn as well – as a result of this transit, news programs no longer had to be balanced, giving both points of view…giving rise to Hysteria Radio/TV. I am personally hoping that Neptune in Pisces will make them so crazy that they will be locked up permanently.

Neptune entering Pisces brings the dissolution of boundaries and the awareness of Leaderless Mobs, devoid of logic and reason (no Air signs).  We can see this with our Congress, a group of antiquated old men who think only of their own personal power, not the needs of the citizens.  There is no logic behind their refusal to pass bills, only the greed for power.

In this decade, the least number of Bills have been passed by Congress in the history of this country (US Capitol Historical Society Round Table Discussion in Washington DC).  “With the lack of the Air Element, we will see the end of the Age of Reason and the beginning of the Irrational Age, albeit, it will also be observed as Creative, Poetic and Intuitive.”  Jeanne was saying this BEFORE Saturn entered Aquarius but this transit has shown little logic, possibly being flooded by the Water influence of Neptune in Pisces.  This comes from the Neptune in Capricorn Cycle with “Greed is Good.”

Neptune first entered the sign of Pisces during the summer of 2011.  It will transit Pisces through January 2026!  Mass consciousness is ruled by Neptune – the Neptunian hardware penetrated everywhere with its transit through Aquarius.  This transit will bring radically new ways that we can solve problems of everyday life.

Reality was broken, as Neptune left the Rational Air sign of Aquarius and entered a Water sign, a sign with no sense of boundaries!  The veil between the Seen and Unseen will become more tenuous.  When people say that they have the answer, they really have no clue – trust your inner voice and take care of yourself!

NOTE FROM LYNN:  A few years ago, I attended the showing of a Nazi propaganda film about the Jewish population.  It seemed so deceptively logical.  The film can only be shown to groups with a discussion afterwards.  I realized that, if you do not have a core of integrity, you can become deluded into this false thinking and you all too easily buy into the lies.  I try every day to think about a Core of Integrity in doing the right thing.  It is something I really have to think about – it is not always easy.  This is why I am addicted to Holocaust Rescuer films and books.  If these people can do the right thing when they could lose their lives, I can do it too.  I can “have the back” of my friends and I can do the right thing.  Actually, I can think of 5 friends who did not have my back when they heard another criticize me.  So, I now know to voice truth when people are falsely critical of others.

We are now in the final phase of a cycle that began in 1862.  As with all final phases, you harvest what you have sown in the past.  You will not miss this shift – you will FEEL IT!  With this transit, those who have a very tenuous grip upon reality may very well lose it.  Most obvious, we have observed this madness in the tragic school shootings.  There is an abundance of delusional thinking and, with Uranus in Taurus, this thinking cannot be budged!

Since Neptune’s discovery, Jeanne has observed that there has been an accumulation of a tremendous wealth of knowledge via psychology about ourselves, how human beings work – and we did little with the knowledge!  Only the advertisers and political consultants use it for their selfish ends.

The ability for people to think in the abstract came with Neptune’s discovery.   Neptune was last in Pisces from 1848 through 1862.

We find that 1848 was a transformational year of revolution sweeping Europe by the common man.  In this current cycle, the youth will start the revolution because there is no place for them in the working world with older ones working longer and retiring later.  We saw this with the spontaneous conversions into radical Islam in the poor communities in the world.

Amazingly, we have observed the legalization of marijuana in several States.  Pot will seem tame when compared to other pharmaceutical soups made available illegally. Escape, withdrawal and the loss of boundaries will occur due to the speed that people are able to connect instantly.

Utopian philosophies began in the last cycle (1800s) and they will re-emerge in this new cycle.  At that time, with Neptune in the sign of universal compassion, Karl Marx writings showed a great concern for the poor, the working class and small children working in sweat shops.  The political regimes and dictatorships that developed from this were not what Marx had in mind.

In the current cycle, Utopian philosophies will unfold from a great hunger for something to believe in, something that explains the new Neptunian energies pouring onto the planet.  These are what I term the New Seekers.  While this is not a problem for those of us with a long history of metaphysical studies, this new energy may prove deeply problematic for the religious Fundamentalist.

It is our job, not to proselytize, but to demonstrate through example and right-living ourselves.  Like the alcoholic who attends an AA meeting and says: “I want what you have.”

LYNN:  It is my theory that we are godlings who have descended into a material world. The Greek and Roman gods showed us how to be human; the new spiritual philosophies will awaken the “God-Aspect” of ourselves and teach us what we need to do in order to return Home – home to our original God-State.  But, like the alcoholic, many will have to hit bottom before they embark upon the upward Path.

I recently began to observe new groups forming that are made up of Seekers, seeking kinship with others on The Path, to learn how to cope with life as it now exists and to cultivate some faith in the future.  Some of these people are in recovery from seeking Spirit through alcohol or drugs.  Some have gone through recent losses of loved ones.  I remember being in this place back in the 1970s when I first joined an ARE study group.  Seekers are looking for spiritual answers in their lives, especially when the world around us is in chaos. 

NOTE:  This is what Theosophists call the First Initiation but the warning is to stay away from gurus!!   There is an organization that guarantees that they have a technique that allows you to erase all of your past karma.  Edgar Cayce said – God is not mocked.  You will have to meet every jot and tittle of your actions.

In this 13-year cycle, the veil between the conscious and unconscious will be very tenuous.  The danger thus being that it will also be too easy to absorb negative matter, especially when the transiting Neptune is making a hard aspect to your personal planets.  Fact checking may be non-existent.  Even now, e-mail posts occur daily that have no basis in fact.  Anyone can say anything and many will believe it without question, even when I urge them to check it out on Verification sites. Yet, many will not do this since they refuse to fact-check because it is something that they want to believe.  Truth becomes irrelevant, in their thinking.  It is essential that we develop an internal check about this new reality.  After it is over, only then will people become aware of the delusions they held.  Yet, a great Renaissance in art and technology will occur. 

LYNN:  New Souls born around 1988-1991 (The Great Capricorn Climax) are now adults and bringing in the new energies.  I remember this period when I sensed the speeding up of the vibration of the Earth’s etheric body – and this is happening again with Neptune in Pisces.  This was most unsettling for many people who experienced “vision flux,” a condition actually described by an eye doctor who had many patients coming in asking about seeing colors, pink and violet – but there was nothing wrong with their eyes!  These new Souls came in with and are imbued with this energy.   It was a time of dissolving structures and these Souls will be called to reform and bring in the newer structures.  How do we fit into the global economy?  The New Souls can create this.  The 2019-2022 pandemic is causing a great career migration that these Souls are initiating.

Currently, I have observed some born at the time move into a selfless, humanitarian direction.  However, where they feel ungrounded, disconnected and not belonging, they unfortunately find an accepting “family” in radical beliefs.  Why should you be an under-paid clerk in a store when you can die for God or your Cause.

Neptune in Pisces will also manifest great Spiritual Delusions.  Many will feel seized by the power of God due to Neptune in Pisces.  People who do not believe in psychic energy are in for a shock, especially when they start having visions.

Delusions are not just spiritual.  Watch where your money is going!  If someone tells you that they have the answer, they too are delusional.  Avoid gurus and leaders who say that they have these answers to our problems.

Watch out for those who manipulate the masses through fear, “excitement” and agitation – agitating and manipulating the minds of others who choose not to think for themselves.  You hear these types on radio and television all the time.  They are just looking for ratings!  And they are psychological vampires (see article on www.lynnkoiner.com).

Learning how to tune out from this incoming Neptunian flow will be important, since we do not want this to impact or interfere with our daily routines.  If it is too much, more people will look for escapes – chemicals, virtual reality experiences, internet fantasy relationships, living in fantasy worlds with “increasing levels of detail,” and some others will get “drunk on God” – something even worse than alcoholism!  When our world seems to be blowing apart at the seams, many will want to just tune out.  And, our world will be shrinking due to the speed of connectivity.

Neptune rules states of mind – the dream world, the meditative, inspired and even confused states of mind.  Even those with clear purposes will become confused at times – what is real and what is not!

Find ways to protect yourself, to tune out or block the negative energies.  These can be all too readily absorbed during the transit of Neptune in Pisces.  Find your “Safe Place” where you feel grounded. Working in a garden, with plants in your home and walking in nature will prove to be very grounding.  If you are experiencing strong Neptune transits, the Bach Flower Remedy, Clematis, will be extremely helpful in making you feel more grounded and connected to your body.

Yet, in the midst of the chaos, there will be unlimited creative energy available, albeit, chaotic.  Remember, creative people are not always rational so irrational is not always a bad thing.  Transpersonal experiences can transform your life but only if you know how to use the incoming energy.  New forms are not ready yet but rather they are incubating now — not all solutions will be workable in the beginning of this cycle.  The new forms will not manifest until after 2015 – especially in 2019-20, the midpoint of the Neptune transit.

Neptune in Pisces will herald new types of medicine – alternative medicine is more popular than ever.  Along with this is the movement towards organic and sustainable gardening.  A Maryland farmer is cultivating manure that normally pollutes the ground water and going into our Chesapeake Bay.  With this new type of cultivation, the manure is used to produce gases that provide power for 3 working farms.  Even our land-fills can be a source of energy from the gases produced.

There will be great studies in ESP, Near Death Experiences and the science of metaphysical philosophy will become a proven fact.  The “mystics” in the world can threaten the established forms.  Recently, on several daytime talk shows, there have been discussions of Past Life Regression and Near-Death experiences.  About 10 years ago, I learned that nurses in Baltimore’s Shock-Trauma Unit could spot when someone was having a near-death experience.  When the patient would become conscious, they would offer counseling on this subject.

Neptune in Pisces will affect our sensitivity as well as receptiveness to alternative medicine, our ability to see into the etheric plane (lavender/violet) and doctors may work more closely with medical intuitives/observers (these are observers and not psychic).  Transpluto having moved into its ruling sign of Virgo will eventually herald new medical techniques that work with mind-body-spirit, since Transpluto rules wholeness and integration. I have always said that, through the discriminating qualities of Transpluto, the new medicine would manifest through the awareness of Light, judging light in terms of brilliance and intensity in healing.  Amazingly, many medical doctors are taking my medical astrology courses.

Jeanne predicted that the refugee situation would worsen with Neptune in Pisces.  Haitians are now going into the Brazilian Amazon.  Africa’s draughts and terrorist regimes create mass migrations.  Terrorist groups are creating refugees in the Middle East.  Population shifts, massive shifts, triggered by natural disasters and rising water levels have occurred in the past.  Our Afghanistan allies need to find new homes in the U.S. and other countries because they will be killed by the Taliban.  This is part of the Earth Changes that trigger mass migrations globally.

Lastly, hoaxes and deceptions create chaos.  With collective media participation, Jeanne Mozier reminds us that, just because you have a mouth, it does not mean that you have something worthwhile to say.   There is a hunger to believe anything, creating an addiction to delusion/disillusion.  Do not allow yourself to be possessed by opinion – seek the facts and facts from legitimate sources, not sources fueled by the Dis-information Program operating out of St. Petersburg Russia (according to Oleg Kalugin, former KGB, living in my area).  All of this began with the Neptune in Capricorn Cycle.

EXAMPLES:  Marjorie Taylor Green saying that the Jewish Bankers have a satellite that is sending laser beams to start the fires in California and people believe this.  Q-Anon!  In the news, My Gentle, Intelligent Brother Is Now A Conspiracy Theorist And His Beliefs Are Shocking — “While other family members refuse to engage, I’m triggered into a primordial rage by the videos he texts me ‘because he loves me and wants to help me wake up before it’s too late.'”  These are examples of Neptune in Pisces at its delusional worse.

Do seek the Principle of Order and the Principle of Enlightenment on a higher level – rise above the fray.  Compassionate Causes will get a tremendous boost, especially for children, animals, and other voiceless people will gain a voice.

In April 2022, Jupiter in Pisces will conjoin Neptune in Pisces.  Some astrologers are saying that this will portend a great spiritual awakening and a push towards humanitarian goals.  Personally, I feel that many people caught in the trap of the Neptune will just be more delusional.  There might even be a Bubble in the stock market.

► Andre Barbault, the French astrologer, wrote in PLANETARY CYCLES that the Jupiter-Neptune conjunction in Pisces portends a swing to the Left politically.  He has observed the past 18 cycles of Jupiter-Neptune with a movement to the Left “with international aims of an associative, peaceful or humanitarian nature.”  For example, the Jupiter-Neptune conjunction in Aquarius in 2009 herald the election of a liberal Democrat for president.  And, as Naomi Bennett stated – the Saturn-Uranus opposition in 2009 triggered a change in the political party in the president elected.

There will be a movement of Saturn towards Neptune in the sign of Pisces in 2023 but it does not make a conjunction until February 2026 at 0 Aries – a Beginning Cycle at the World Point of international events.  Barbault states that it portends “the most benefic conjunction of the (21^st) century and its interplanetary partnership will work for the best in a splendid relaunch of civilization.”  He goes on to say that there is a positive relationship between Uranus in Gemini and Pluto in Aquarius.  This alignment is strongly connected to the U.S. chart.  Financial astrologers feel that the Saturn-Neptune in Aries will trigger a recession.

Mike Kirk states:  Planetary testament to instability and crises – Peak planetary action for crisis in March 2 to May 18 2022 and then August 2-27 2022; finally, turbulence in the markets in October 2022.

URANUS IN TAURUS:  From 2020 through 2026

I am first going to approach this from an esoteric perspective.  The Great Depression occurred with Uranus in Aries with Pluto in Cancer and Saturn in Capricorn.  By 1934, Uranus started to enter Taurus.  I felt that this was a time when new Souls and a Soul Group began incarnating to bring a stabilizing energy to a planet already in crises (Cardinal signs).  Now, I feel that this same Soul Group is incarnating again (not the same Souls but from the same group) again at a time of crises and as a vanguard to bring stabilizing energies in future crises, especially as Uranus enters Gemini with Neptune in Aries.  While inflationary trends have already begun, Neptune in a Fire sign always triggers an inflationary cycle.  Since Saturn-Neptune can trigger a recession, this may be fueled by a civil war in this country, triggered by Uranus in Gemini and Neptune in Aries (aligned with our last civil war).

Remember, however, that stabilizing energies are usually very resistant to change – and change is definitely afoot.  When changes are blocked, Uranus will explode unexpectedly so that the change can ultimately flow through, like breaking up a dam.

There will be shifts in our economic theories with the great career migrations resulting from the long period of isolation during the pandemic.  All things financial will be turned upside down.  There may be changes in labor relations, in our banking and financial institutions and, for the biggest Resistors, the super rich will have to assume responsibility for the economic crises and pay more taxes.  This happened in the 1930s when Roosevelt pressured the wealthy to be a part of our country’s recovery.  He also implemented the Social Security Act and programs to stimulate opportunities for the unemployed to become employed.  In this cycle, we may find changes that impact the student loan debt and stronger health programs.

In an excellent paper by Karon Meakin, she states: “Uranus and Pluto do have one thing in common, they are enemies to those things that are entrenched. Uranus ultimately objects to anything unfair to large portions of society and Pluto will not allow stagnation of any sort, which includes those things most tenaciously preserved by vested interests.”

In 1934, heads of the major U.S. corporations made an attempt to overthrow President Roosevelt and establish Fascism in this country.  Too many politicians are in the pockets of corporations.  See post at the end of this lecture.

Currently, we have just had our last Saturn-Uranus square, triggering a peak in the pandemic health crises.  Hopefully, this will be the last peak for infections.  Other astrologers, including our Jeanne, predicted a new epidemic several years before it manifested.  This was an interpretation of the alignment and transits in Earth signs, Earth sign impacting the physical – with our bodies, with our economy and with the planet.  The pandemic commenced with the Pluto-Saturn conjunction in Earth (Capricorn).

► There is an interesting pattern when Uranus enters the sign of Gemini in 2026.  Since its discovery, there is a great battle for Democracy.  First, the American Revolution; Second, the American Civil War; Third, World War II.  I realized after attending lectures and concerts that saluted the “Greatest Generation” of the Age.  I realized that this Greatest Generation were largely born with Uranus in Pisces and were called to service when the Battle for Democracy began with Uranus in Gemini (their first Uranus Square).  The Pattern at the American Civil War is repeating again – in 2027, Uranus in Gemini and Neptune in Aries repeat their alignment from the 1800s.  This was a battle to save our Democracy and our Constitution, specifically the Declaration of Independence.  Many respected economic and mundane astrologers have predicted a great civil war.  We can see the seeds of this with the Trucker Strikes and the Vaccination Rebellion with Saturn in Aquarius. 

In my studies in Theosophy, I observed that Esoteric Gemini rules the concept and Principles of Democracy – that all people have the education, the freedom and the accurate information by which they can make accurate decisions for themselves.  Dis-information is a step in the direction of dismantling Democracies around the world.  Bill Sarubbi (Meridian) states that, in May 2031, humanity will be forced to make a choice between the Higher Self and the lower self. 

METAPHYSICAL NEWS — The New Humanity Coming:  It is here already because it started in 1988-1993 with the Mutation in Consciousness.  These souls are already here, capable of vibrating to the new energies, and incoming souls will be imprinted with new consciousness.  These children are very different.  They are now turning 18-24 and going out into the world.  These Souls are drawn into humanitarian enterprises or they are attracted to radicalization by extremists.

The Neptune in Libra folks (born in the 1940s) can prepare the way for these new souls.  Yet, these souls are being condemned to exist in the old forms, medicated or medicated with technology.

With 150 million souls coming in each year, we are getting close to critical mass – developing new forms.  Globalization is inevitable – if not, find yourself a nice museum society that lives in the past.  Jeanne feels that we will need a global regulating body to handle this.

SATURN IN AQUARIUS – 2021 through early March 2023

 In my 50+ years as a professional astrologer, I have observed the many generations.  Early in my career, I observed that people born with Saturn in Aquarius were very rebellious of authority.  The generation in the 1930s had Saturn in Aquarius sextile Uranus in Aries.  It was not as rebellious because they were born into a conservative time in history.  Yet, they saw authority figures as rigid, chauvinistic and excessively authoritarian.

The next time Saturn was in Aquarius was in the early 1960s and it was quincunx Uranus in Virgo — minor aspects do work with outer planet transits.  This generation is overtly rebellious of authority. The times were changing.  The war in Vietnam was starting and, by the time Saturn entered Pisces, it opposed Uranus in Virgo and young people rebelled en masse, as this was an illegal war.  The authorities, aka the government, did not listen and so this is a generation very rebellious and angry over authority figures.

When Saturn entered Aquarius in the early 1990s, there was no connection with Uranus.  Globally, everything was changing – no time for individual rebellion.

The Berlin War fell after a Saturn Cycle and communism lost its grip upon its satellite nations.  There was no need for rebellion – the Wall fell upon its own weight and oppressed people felt liberated as they walked through the opened Wall.

Now that Saturn is in Aquarius for the first time in the 21^st century and it is square the rigid, unyielding Uranus in Taurus.  The anti-government theme is prevalent with the rebellion against being told to get the vaccinations.  Uranus is more RAGE than anger as it goes to extremes in what it feels.  Pushing a vaccine sets some people up to resist and resist at all costs.  Psychologically, they do not want an authority figure to tell them what to do.  Resistance is powerful with Uranus in Taurus.

A NEW CYCLE:  Jupiter conjunct Saturn at 0 Aquarius

THE LONG VIEW OF JUPITER-SATURN CONJUNCTION IN AQUARIUS: 

• A new social, cultural and spiritual cycle
• The Times are A-Changing
• Shift in Ideals and Values
• DECEMBER 21, 2020 – Jupiter-Saturn at 0 Aquarius is a new beginning but the beginning is not immediately clear until Saturn enters 1 degree onward. At 15 degrees, it is the most clear
• The Pandemic we are experiencing with the Capricorn Stellium will create a shift in our consciousness and our behavior. This new Shift will be in tune with Aquarius

Historically, the Jupiter-Saturn Conjunction portends a great shift in the affected governments.

• In the cycle of 1961, the election of a very young president, John Kennedy, brought a great cultural shift – a Catholic president was very controversial and he aroused the enthusiasm of young people all over the world.
• In the cycle of 1981, the marriage of Charles to Diana brought a major, far-reaching shift in the monarchy of Great Britain. This conjunction occurred in Libra so there was a theme of changing relationships – personal and global.  We got a Polish Pope, an actor President, and a very modern Russian president in Gorbachov who set the stage for the changes that culminated in 1989.
• In the cycle 2000, this conjunction returned to an Earth sign, forming a Grand Earth Cross that impacted the presidency. Within a year, 9/11 changed everything, especially regarding travel, security and even the airline industry.  In an Earth sign, there are physical manifestations – a destructive earthquake in Turkey and the increase of terrorism, leading us into an unending war in the Middle East.  There was even a Dengue Fever that plagued Central America.
• In the cycle of 2020, the alignment occurs at 0 Aquarius – a new beginning in new social consciousness. The Zero Degree is inchoate – not yet developed. The awareness of the new consciousness commences at 1 degree, but becomes obvious at 15 degrees.

At https://www.lynnkoiner.com/the-jupiter-saturn-cnjunction-in-the-natal-houses/, I have an article of this conjunction through the Houses.  Where it fell in your chart portends a 20 years cycle for change.

Caroline Myss once said that, when there is an epidemic that impacts the health of humanity, there is a sickness in society:

• WWI brought the Spanish Flu that killed millions.
• During the Great Depression and WWII, we had polio. In the 1950s, when the post-war economy was optimistic, a cure was discovered.
• In the 1980s, with the delusions about the economy, small farms were going out of business and the sweeping deregulations generated problems that we are confronting with Pluto in Capricorn. At this time, AIDS manifested, affecting first the gay community but then moving into the straight community.
• In 2020, with the rise of Global Ultra Conservatism that punishes everyone but the rich and augments the rise of White Supremacy, the KKK and the global Neo-Nazi movement — now we have a pandemic. Until we heal what is ailing in our societies, the epidemic will continue.

This current Jupiter-Saturn conjunction had an impact upon the election and the inauguration charts.

NOTE:  Charts are not shown here

Bill Meridian once told me that Jupiter in Aquarius portends a Democratic president.  He was saying this just before Barack Obama was elected.  For the Biden inauguration, Jupiter is once again in Aquarius.  Naomi Bennet has excellent astrology posts on Facebook (I repost them on my NCGRAnnapolis page).  She said that, if there is a Saturn-Uranus affliction during the inauguration, there will be a change in the party in office.  Both interpretations were correct.

There is an alignment for future inaugurations that concerns me – for many years, the Sun will conjunct Pluto in Aquarius starting with the 2025 inauguration.

NOTE:  Charts are not shown here

In our constitution, the new administration always begins at 12pm ET on January 20 (or 21^st if the 20^th falls on a Sunday), regardless of the time of the swearing in.  Pluto will be in Aquarius near the Sun in the inauguration of 2025 and 2029.  It moves farther away from the Sun at 0-1 degrees of Aquarius in those charts but it will still be in the 10^th House of the President.

SATURN IN PISCES 2023 – 2025:

When Saturn last transited Pisces, even though it was well aspected to the outer planets, it was not an easy time.

• The Balkan War in which NATO had to intervene – later these countries joined NATO
• Eastern Europe was added to NATO  – This is significant since the Ukraine has wanted to join NATO for protection from Russia. They may be accepted in 2023-25

Other events –

• Massacre in Rwanda
• Rabin assassinated
• OJ Simpson trial
• Oklahoma City bombing

ELECTION CHARTS AND INTERPRETATION TECHNIQUES:

The famous political astrologer in Washington DC, Barbara Watters, used the first official ballot cast for the 2^nd Tuesday in November.  That place was at 12am/midnight in Dixville Notch, New Hampshire.  There are only about 12 people in the village so determining the outcome is very fast.

Another famous astrologer, Silver DeLong, used 7am (the opening of the poles) in Washington DC.

I realize that many people mail in their ballots but this is not the official timing.

The Classical Rulerships of the two parties is that the Democratic Party is ruled by Saturn and the Republican Party is ruled by Jupiter.

The rules for interpretation are that, whichever planet is elevated the highest in the election chart, this will determine that party that wins the election.

WHAT CHARTS DO I USE FOR THE UNITED STATES:

I have always used the Gemini ASC chart for the United States because it perfectly described the American people and out national life.  Barbara Watters said that the American people are very Gemini – the country was divided, we are divided by Red and Blue, developments do not last – in Rockville MD, in the 1970s, they torn down the historic section, built a Mall and then within 20 years, they tore down the Mall!

As a Gemini people, we give a vocabulary to issues and feelings that are picked up by other nations.  American English words are strongly integrated into the European languages.

In the Summer of 2001, the famous mundane astrologer, Nick Campion, said that he had been researching the Gemini and Sagittarius charts and he has observed that the Gemini chart works best.  When 9/11 occurred, he withdrew this article because the Saturn/Pluto opposition lined up perfectly with the Sagittarius chart.  It was off by a couple of degrees in the Gemini chart.

I conducted research many years ago and I observed that both charts work – actually, all of the charts used for this country work but they work best for different events.  For internal events, the Gemini chart works best and, for events that have an international effect and how other countries see us, the Sagittarius chart works best.  The Gemini chart most accurately describes the American people.  I cannot find the article with the events portrayed in both charts but I saw how each worked for different events.

Not long after the International Spy Museum in Washington DC opened, they had an exhibition called “Insurgency Within.”  I immediately saw that Uranus-Mars was in the 1^st House, describing the American people who are insurgent by nature.  Yet, other countries see us as very Sagittarian in terms of our influence over other nations and the vast knowledge that we develop.

In the Gemini chart, Mercury in Cancer is in the 3^rd House of Near Neighbors.  Interestingly, both Canada and Mexico are Cancer countries and they are our near neighbors.

NOTE:  Charts are not shown here

Nick Campion, in his THE BOOK OF WORLD HOROSCOPES, quotes a discussion with the pilot whose ancestor was one of the original signers of the Declaration of Independence.  Through the generations, it was stated that it was finalized at 2:15am.  Washington astrologer, Warren Kinsman, justified the timing was saying that the probably worked into the late hours to get the job done.  Finally, at 2:15am, they said, OK, it’s a Wrap, and that was the birth of our Declaration.

The Sibley chart, by Ebenezer Sibley, was the first chart published for the U.S. in 1787.  It was researched by an astrologer in England. So you see the difference in perspective – the Sagittarius and International perspective came from a British source but the personal perspective was developed by an American.

Both charts work so, whichever you use, it will work – but it will work best with specific events.  Michael Munkasey uses a Virgo ASC and he swears by this.  Jeanne Mozier used a different date with a Libra ASC.  These excellent research astrologers cannot be wrong – and I believe that they are all correct!

It is interesting that the current pandemic, because it is global, works best with the Sibley chart.  The global economies have been dramatically affected as T Pluto activates the 2^nd/8^th Houses in the Sibley chart.

If you are researching the Mundane interpretation of the Houses, I recommend a book by Nicholas DeVore.  I believe it has been added to the Solar Fire program for interpretations.

THE TRANSITING PLUTO IN CAPRICORN SQUARE TRANSITING ERIS IN ARIES:  2020-2021 – the pandemic begins

In 2010, I conducted research by using the transit of Uranus in Aries over natal Eris.  I believe in empirical research and personal observation rather than relying totally upon the myth connected with the planet.

Richard Tarnas (Psyche & Cosmos) states that the myths for the planets stop working effectively after Saturn (and Chiron).  I totally agree with his statement.

After I make my observations and determine a theme, only then do I look at the myth to see what parts of the myth can apply to the Object.  Yes, some work very well, such as Chiron.  But, as an astrologer and not a philosopher or mythologist, I prefer empirical observation.

Our Consciousness needs to resonate to the energies of the new Object.  When an Object is discovered, it is because enough of people on the planet are now and have been resonating to the new energies that the Object brings in.

THE NEW OBJECTS BEING DISCOVERED SINCE PLUTO:  OBJECTS OF TRANSFORMATION

Planets or Objects that take 4+ years to complete an aspect to a natal planet are Objects of Transformation.

The Classifications are:

1)  Lights – Sun & Moon

2)  Personal – Mercury-Venus-Mars

3)  Social – Jupiter & Saturn

4)  Transpersonal – Uranus-Neptune-Pluto (Transpersonal can only be the higher octave of Personal Planets)

5)  Transformational Objects – Transpluto & Eris & many of the newly discovered slow-moving Centaurs.  We can have many objects of transformation but one three Transpersonal Planets.

In 2010, my research was based upon the transit of Uranus over Eris in the natal chart.  This is what I observed at that time –

My observation is that all of these Objects, regardless of size, represent a Process of Change in our lives. It is the long-term transits of these remote objects that trigger the process of change.

Even with the 4^th Harmonic aspects (conjunction-square-opposition), Eris acts as a benefic only if you are willing to grow and learn and integrate the lessons acquired.   If you cannot go with the new flow, it is not very friendly in our lives.

Where I have observed health issues under Eris, it is because the individual fears the needed changes, becomes blocked and cannot integrate the New into the life or respond constructively to external crises.

It may be, because Eris entered the challenging and pioneering sign of Aries in February 1926, that this planet works in a manner by which we are confronted with that which is totally new.  These new experiences eventually become integrated into our consciousness and we are no longer the same — some component of our personality (and even society in general) becomes morphed over a period of time.

The transits involve a process of adapting to challenges in our lives.  Eris only has negative ramifications when we cannot compromise or adapt to the new. 

On October 1, 2010, I read a post from Mark Holmes regarding Eris.  While his wording is different from my own, it fits extremely well with my interpretation of Eris.

Mark stated: “Eris requires understanding, adaptation and compromise to avoid clashes of ego.”

I responded:  I have observed this planet is fundamentally positive but only recently I have seen its involvement with health issues.  In 2012, the passing of a fellow astrologer who could no longer see a light at the end of her tunnel – Solar Arc Eris crossed her Ascendant, triggering her death.  This is rare.

When people are too afraid to adapt, when they are too rigid to understand or they are unwilling to make a compromise in their life, they can become ill.

► Another example of a friend whose Eris opposes his Mercury: “I get upset when confronted with very new ideas and I am forced to change or re-examine my opinions.”

I have also observed that interests begun in one cycle will return and become integrated into your consciousness in a future cycle.  It facilitates new qualities and attributes that flower into a manifestation of our true inner nature.

In conclusion, as I have stated previously, the well-known Jungian astrologer, Alice Howell, said that, whenever society becomes irreconcilably polarized, this means that a New Era is about to begin.  Paradigm Shifts and New Eras do not happen easily or often.  Usually, humanity coming together takes a global crisis.

On April 6, 2020, Ray Merriman wrote a long article for ISAR and this is a part of his article that rings in accord with Alice Howell:

The concept of a “new era for humanity” is now being realized by those outside of our discipline. In Saturday’s Wall Street Journal, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger wrote a column titled “The Coronavirus Pandemic Will Forever Alter the World Order.” In it, he writes: “The U.S. must protect its citizens while starting the urgent work of planning for a new epoch.” But of course, it’s not just the United States that must prepare for a new epoch. Still, Mr. Kissinger gets it. He gets what astrologers knew long before 2020 arrived.

THE PLOT TO OVERTHROW FDR in 1934:

1. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/02/27/95580/-The-Real-Plot-to-Overthrow-FDR-s-America

NOTE:  Chart now shown here

In 1934, Big Business, resentful of Roosevelt’s financial demands, made an intense effort to overthrow FDR and establish a Fascist State in America.

Astrologically, using the Sibley chart, there were major events occurring in this chart –

• Progressed Mars conjunct Progressed Neptune
• Transiting Pluto conjunct Venus in 7^th House and Mercury R in the 8^th House
• SA Neptune conjunct Moon in 3^rd House
• In 2006, the progressed Mars turned Retrograde; in August 2016, Mercury turned Direct by Progression. Some astrologers predicted that the U.S. would fall from being a major power.
• Using Solar Arc, Pluto squared Mars in 2011 and, in 2012, Pluto crosses Neptune in the 9^th House and Saturn crosses Uranus in the 6^th

I use this chart to see what aspects were occurring when Fascism tried to take a foothold on this country.  Facsism failed in 1934.  What I see is for the 2^nd half of this decade are similar patterns.  T Pluto/Uranus are afflicting Mercury and the T Neptune afflicts Mars.

Fascism is not about a political party at this time. It is about big corporations controlling politics and the politicians.   Their deep-pockets money goes to politicians who will do their bidding.  This is happening globally, not just here.  Smaller European countries are very dependent upon corporations setting up factories in their countries, providing jobs for the populations.  If the politicians do not adhere to the demands of the companies, they will pack up and move to a country who will adhere to their demands.  Always, these demands actually work against the workers – but the workers never realize this.

The Czech Republic is the only country that is not dependent upon big corporations to support their economy.

Changes and transformations occur that have a global impact at this time.  Therefore, I am currently working with the Sibley chart.

EDGAR CAYCE PREDICTIONS from John Van Auken

PISCES AGE – God came among men; in AQUARIUS, we re-acquire our Godly skills.  The Great Masters will walk among us.

The next clean-up on Earth will be by Fire – radiation from Pole Shift – magnetic storm and Van Allen Belt will break down.  This could be the fire.  Small animals can mutate to handle the radiation.  The body will change and more 4^th dimensional.  Body may be more florescent.  Furthermore, there is the military’s High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program and the G5 frequencies.

Souls who are in tune will be elevated.  There will be safe and unsafe areas.   The ones who are not in tune will go to Saturn where all uncleaned flesh goes to be remolded.

Others, like these terrorists, will go to Saturn.   They will not be the same.

Transition to 4^th dimension: Ouspensky’s book – each dimension is perpendicular to the next.  You need to conceive of something beyond the 3^rd in order to go to the 4^th.   Thought form is the 4^th dimensional.  This is where we can have an out of body experience.

Edgar Cayce said that the Shift would begin gradually in 2000-2001.  The Shift has actually begun in the South Atlantic Ocean region between Africa and South America.  The north-south polarity has been fluctuating back and forth, weakening the shield against solar radiation.  The Northern and Southern Lights (aurora) are the result of radiation moving to the Poles.

We will know that the Shift has begun when these Lights are seen around the world, even at the equator.  Scientists do not see this as a cataclysmic event but something that happens gradually. 

Cayce said that the Pole Star of the New Age would be Vega in late 14 degrees of Capricorn.  It is called the “Falling Eagle” or the star of the “Queen of Life.”  Because of its connection with Venus and Neptune, this can portend a cycle of great beauty and creativity with the higher aspects of mysticism.

Cayce said that we are in the END TIMES as prophesized in the Book of Daniel.  Those who work on the dark side will be brought to light.  Hence, we see the conflict occurring in the 21^st Century.  With the Dark coming to the surface, strike and turmoil will manifest in the world.  If it does not come to light, we cannot eradicate it.   So, look to events like January 6 as important in our evolution, to bring the dark to light.  Neo-Nazis and White Supremists, previously ignored by the mainstream population, have been empowered to show themselves.

Some of the advanced Souls may waver by these events but we all must maintain that Core of Integrity in these times.

EARTH CHANGES AND EARTHQUAKES:

Does the East Coast have fault lines?

Another well-known fault line is located in New York City. It crosses Manhattan from the Hudson River to the East River, running approximately along 125th Street. The Ramapo Fault, another New York Metro-area fault line, runs 70 miles through New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania.

Cayce said that New York in the main would be lost in time.  NYC is constantly being “uplifted” so that it will not go into the Hudson River.  This cannot go on forever, especially if there is an earthquake.

Be at ease, Cayce said that Los Angeles and San Francisco would be gone long before New York City, especially Manhattan Island.  NOTE:  In a dream, Cayce having reincarnated visited New York City in 2100 so it will still be here in 2100.

What part of the United States is most at risk for earthquakes?

The 16 states with the highest earthquake hazard from natural earthquakes are Alaska, Arkansas, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming.

Where are tsunami risks on the east coast?

The greater risks are in the north from Newfound down to just below New Jersey. A relatively minor offshore earthquake of magnitude 4.5 or above could cause submarine avalanches that then generate tsunami events with waves higher than 26 feet (8 meters).  So not the big danger on the East Coast.

PERSONAL PREDICTIONS:

In her lectures, Jeanne Mozier used to make a prediction for each of the signs.  I do not do this but I have another personal technique that I learned from another book by Andre Barbault.  He discussed the conjunctions to the personal planets and how they impact individuals.

The one that I worked with the most was the Sun-Jupiter conjunction, as a time of great personal expansion.  In world events, it can portend a time of peace and resolution.  You would think that this occurred often as a conjunction to a personal planet but it does not!

I only use the Sun-Jupiter conjunction within 1 degree of a natal planet.   The March 5 2022 conjunction occurs near the New Moon at 14 Pisces.  This is a new cycle of expansion and the resolution of conflict in one’s life.

• The first conjunction was on my 12^th House Mercury. While I had been giving professional readings since June 1969, I did not have the courage to give a lecture.  At this time, I gave my first talk to a metaphysical group.  No one would ever have known this was my first lecture and I gave mini-readings to everyone who attended (just looking at the ephemeris for the birth date)
• In 1989, the next conjunction occurred on my 10^th House Uranus and this was a most expansive time when the Berlin Wall came down and I just had to see it. Later, it allowed me to connect with astrologers in the former eastern bloc countries.
• In 2001, the conjunction was on the next planet in my 10^th, Mars, and at this time I impulsively signed up for a conference in Serbia. There I met many astrologers with whom I am still friends and it ultimately gave a great boost to my career and recognition.  Mars rules my 9^th
• In 2015, the conjunction was within 1 degree of my Asc, starting around my birthday – and it was a great birthday. In my journal I wrote: The Sun-Jupiter conjunction at 3 Virgo on August 26 was conjunct my ASC/Sun and I really felt it – like someone turned a switch on and I have energy and optimism again.
• In 2016, the conjunction was on my 2^nd House planets. At that time, I gave a talk to the County Council to give me an 80% discount in property taxes – which came to pass.

For others, the next Sun-Jupiter will occur on March 5 2022 at 14 Pisces; April 11 2023 at 21 Aries; and May 18 2024 at 28 Taurus (conjunct my MC)

Each year, there are conjunctions with other planet combinations.  Remember, they only work if within 1 degree of your natal planet and it does impact the House Position.  In many ways, it is like a Planet Return for the personal planets – the House position of the Mercury Return shows your mental interests for the year; Venus Return points to strong areas for relating; Mars (see my website about this) is where a lot of activity will manifest.   I only have one this year – Sun conjunct Mercury R at 0 Libra.

The most significant alignment will occur on March 3 when Venus-Mars-Pluto are alignment at 27 Capricorn.  If conjunct a planet in the natal chart, this is a powerful Ending Cycle when the individual is commended to end what has been outgrown, grown complicated, then shut the door and move on.

GMO crops grew out of the agricultural revolution of the 1960s, when we were told that there was a world feminine and we need to grow more efficiently and abundantly, regardless of health concerns.  Many people in the U.S. are developing intolerance to these GMO grains.  Banned in Europe, grained-based foods do not have the same detrimental effect.

We all became aware of the compassion and charity that manifested around the holidays when strangers paid for “Lay-Away” gifts – and it soon burst into a wave of charity.  Typically, people are less charitable during the hard times but this changed as Neptune in Pisces peeked into our consciousness.
