The Full Moon on May 27 is especially interesting. All clients and astrologers should study this moon, for to me it is a trigger moon. Mercury has gone direct on May 11, Jupiter opposes Saturn on May 22 and Saturn goes direct on the 30th right after this moon and then we go into the celestial fireworks of the summer when Jupiter conjuncts Uranus and then we enter into an extremely dynamic eclipse and Cardinal Cross configuration that astrologers have been writing about for months. The count down technically started with the opposition of Uranus and Saturn April 26th.
What makes the May 27th full moon a trigger moon? It is a splay chart with five, that is right, count them, five oppositions: Sun (Gemini) -Moon (Sagittarius), Mars (Leo)-Neptune (Aquarius); Saturn (Virgo) Uranus Jupiter (Pisces) Mercury ( Taurus) – Athena (Scorpio); Venus (Cancer) Pluto (Capricorn).
Oppositions stretch boundaries. Typically astrologers agree the the slower moving planet in an opposition has more power and its affect is more dominate. Since all the personal planets are involved with these power planets the fall out is going to affect everyone. Mercury is the only personal planet that has any power, it opposes Athena in Scorpio, so the tension of discipline and wise power must find articulation.
When we stop the astrological jargon what we have here is that some kind of national or international event is being foreshadowed here. I feel that the present stock bubble may well burst and a new wave of defaults and credit card debt has to be dealt with.
We can know for sure that larger battles on the political arena are unavoidable. The Tea Party movement, the aggressive and misguided Fox News, the very polarization in the Senate and House, a growing anger over Wall Street/Main Street, the confusion over the Health Care Bill, the growing worry over Iran, the possible growing instability in Iraq, and possible terrorist attacks here within the boundaries of the US.
Two large and volatile problems might easily create a large chaos. First the Arizona immigration law will cause the Mexican and other Hispanic populations to take to the streets in numbers that may well make the march on Washington look small. Second a terrorist attack of a sizable proportion could create terrible consequences for the Muslims living in the US. Should this group of moderates get radicalized, the situation would be hard indeed.
What of natural disasters. Here in California the chances of a major quake seems to be growing as tremors have been felt in Baja, San Diego, Eureka, and the Indio desert. With the quakes in Chili, Haiti and China and Indonesia actually showing how active the Pacific Rim is –and let’s not forget volcanoes (!) Finally bizarre weather, tornadoes and hurricanes and rain.
I do not want to sound like an alarmist, but golly-gee Frodo, something is afoot!
Hopefully this will be a time of deep transition where things get done in terms of the necessary social and judicial changes we need as well and the economic changes necessary to lower unemployment–perhaps like Australia, UK and several European countries there will be a permanent unemployment benefit.
Living in LA and seeing the chaos that is the California political climate, where the state and large cities are bankrupt, there has to be developed a vision that can revamp what was once a great example of good government.
So, ladies and gentlemen, strap on your seat belt for the astrological energy that is the summer of 2010. These are the times that try the soul of humanity. Meditate on it and go out and spread a little love in your heart.
