Spring March - June astrology transits

VIDEO Spring March - June transits

Mars turns direct, and not a moment too soon!
As soon as it turns direct it forms a wonderful helpful aspect to Saturn.  Don't let all that drive dissipate, look for ways to make it more productive. Saturn can help you focus your intention.

April is full to overflowing with the latest round in Saturn Uranus opposition. Notice how the labels are falling off. Who is conservative and about which issues? Who is really the radical now? Is that a wise course of action, or must we move fast and faster, not enough time to make carefully thought out choices?

June finds Jupiter racing through the tail end of Pisces, leaping headlong into the fire to join Uranus entry into Aries.
Just for a teeny little bit; then they both back up into the water, to cool down again.

RuPaul! How nice to see you again, you are looking fabuloso, if I may say.
New Moon in Scorpio. Cancer rising. Mars is co-ruler of Scorpio, the Moon rules Cancer. Mars is conjunct the ascendant, and trines Moon. OOOH la la, so many changes to make, so much to explore - in depth.
 
Saturn is so prominent, conjunct the descendant, opposing Mars, sextile Moon. Strong and dominant in it's own sign, comfortable in the 7th house.  "I will stand up for sissies everywhere'

Of course, WE see the ascendant, but RuPaul is deeply deeply Scorpio, so no one knows the many depths and layers, we only see what he wants us to see.  Strongly placed in the 5th house, Sun is EXACTLY square Uranus demanding liberty, AND square Chiron demanding inner healing. I love seeing how well you have used that mysterious Mercury conjunct Neptune, known for wild imagination and excess, here in Scorpio, the sexiest sign. And of course, Venus conjunct Jupiter, the favorite of artists across time.  In Capricorn, not exactly playful, but yet, it is fun and funny if everyone is WORKING TOGETHER. Love to work, love to work with people who will get down to business and WORK!

I took a look at the charts for the 1st show of "RuPaul's Drag Race Feb 2, 2009. WHEW, wow ee zow ee. Progressed Sun and Mercury just recently came over the line of the horizon for the first time ever, often a big jolting outward real life event. Progressed Sun and Mercury are EXACTLY conjunct your natal Saturn, 
also a once in a life time event. 
But wow does that emphasize how difficult this show was for you to pull off, Mr. OverAchiever. AND transiting Pluto was conjunct your Venus/Jupiter!
What is that old Scorpio slogan? Oh yes

Happy Birthday Dakota Fanning: Astrology of a Pisces artist

Oh Pisces girl!
Dakota Fanning has Sun EXACTLY conjunct Saturn in the sign of Pisces. Venus makes three, a lot of Pisces energy.
The dreamer, soft, sensual, intuitive, compassionate.
Saturn adds RESPONSIBILITY.  Hard work is to be expected.
The major aspect we see here is a bunch of MUTABLE oppositions, all to Chiron. With so many roads, how to choose which one to take CAN become a major energy drain. 
Thankfully she has some very different aspects also.

Mercury is EXACTLY square Pluto/nNode. I don't look at the
nNode all the time, but couldn't quite feel this fixed energy pattern until I added it to the mix. She could feel COMPELLED to choose a certain path, no matter if it suits her gentle Pisces sensibilities.

The Moon is trine to Pluto/nNode.
[for techies: This aspect is called seperating out of sign. It is not as potent as it would have been a few hours earlier, when the Moon was in Cancer, because the Moon is quickly moving away from the exact trine it made when it was at 28 degrees Cancer. Pluto is in water you would expect a trine to be in water, but the Moon has in the past few hours moved into early Leo.]  But the only other aspects the Moon makes are close inconjuncts (inharmonious) to the Sun/Saturn. So, we'll take this Moon/ Pluto trine as a very major aspect indeed. Cheerful and warm, the crowd loves her. Her response (Moon) comes with such depth (Pluto), so easily (trine) it is so easy to believe her.  Isn't that the definition of acting?

With Taurus rising Venus is her ruling planet. Venus makes an EXACT trine to Jupiter, so common in the charts of successful artists. In this case it is in water, emotional and possibly impulsive. Loving creature comforts, unless the Pisces guilt sets in. Bountiful princess, dreamer of glorious dreams, the world is at your command.

 I love the visual parts of astrology, especially the patterns the aspects make. This chart shows why I am having such a great time with Kepler 7. When I got this latest update, it was because I finally got a new computer and Windows 7. Turns out I had been using Kepler 5 for eight years! The new one is such an improvement, I play every day.

Please notice how much easier it is to read because this program allows me to eliminate the minutes, placing the attention where it is important, the degrees. Notice how much easier it is to see which aspects are more important, because the program allowed me to choose which aspects I wanted, and vary the width of the lines to show the strongest ones. Save the chart as a jpg, or gif, or many other choices. Thanks to KEPLER! Thank you.


This is the birthchart of Johnny Cash, AstroDataBank rated "from memory". Here the colors of the planets represent the elements: red fire, yellow/tan air, green earth, blue water. One air planet - Saturn, strong in it's own sign and house, representing the requirement to communicate no matter what it took. Sun Mercury Mars looking for the innermost path in Pisces, which is made even less worldly in the 12th house. All the Pisces planets are conjunct, and all three oppose the ruler of Pisces and the 12th house, Neptune. 
A teeter totter. Balanced on 2 more aspect sets.

Venus conjunct Uranus trine Jupiter. 
Chiron sextile Pluto. 
All 5 of these are within a few degrees and create a bigger picture.  The slightest shift of the supports sending the teeter totter on it's way. 
Me/Not me. 
Urgent intuitive love/ revolutionary/ grandiose.  
Easy path/ Or pain and hopeless demands
Insecurity required/ faithful tenacity desired. 
All of this massive inner life 
rendered in full color on the BIG screen of God's world, 
with /or without popcorn. 

A new album is being released this week: Ain't No Grave. 
I'm sure we won't have to wait long to hear it.

Ron Paul Astrology: Looking at November 2012

Video: Ron Paul Election Day 2012 

I've heard from so many people re: Ron Paul Video of the CPAC strawpoll win who all want to know the same thing: WHAT DOES NOVEMBER LOOK LIKE? OK, OK already, I'm looking.

We already talked about his natal Mercury/ Saturn opposition which is helped by aspects to natal Uranus. This was the important aspect we just looked at, because transiting Jupiter was EXACTLY conjunct natal Saturn for the CPAC win. Election day November 6, 2012 shows transiting Chiron occupying that same place, and EXACTLY  aspecting Uranus at 5 degrees Taurus. Moon is in Leo all day, but for part of the day it creates a fire grand trine with transiting Uranus 5 Aries and transiting Mercury at 4 Sag, thus triple triggering Ron Paul's natal Uranus.  Since Uranus can rule upsets, the unexpected, even revolution, this is quite significant.


Natal Uranus is always trine his natal Mercury, and they form a fascinating pattern in the sky for a lot longer than just election day. Transiting Pluto is already creating a grand trine, which is exact on and off for the next couple of years. Progressed Mars is ALSO ALREADY creating the same grand trine for at least 2 years! Grand trines are considered storehouses of potential, but the individual has to CHOOSE to use the potential. This grand trine interacts with his natal Saturn to form a KITE, which, as the name implies, has the ability to HARNESS the vast energy latent in potential, and fly!


The next most significant transit involves his natal Chiron which always aspects Jupiter EXACTLY, and closely aspects Mars and Neptune. On election day we find planets setting off all of these. First comes lucky Jupiter EXACTLY conjunct his Chiron, and thus EXACTLY aspecting natal Jupiter, while very closely aspecting Mars and Neptune. Progressed Sun is EXACTLY conjunct natal Mars (once in a lifetime!) and triggered by transiting Sun. The reason this is important is energy. After the last presidential run he sometimes looked so very tired. This time, he will have a lot more help, and will finish with plenty of energy.


Will he run? Who knows. Will he win? No. Will he make a difference? Always.

Astrology of Ron Paul: CPAC win

WOW! What was a surprise! 
Ron Paul just won the straw poll at the prestigious CPAC annual meeting in Washington DC. The headlines said he won 31%, easily beating Mit Romney  previous winner 3 years in a row (22%) and  Sarah Palin (7%). So of course I wanted to take a look.
No ones knows the time of birth for Ron Paul, so we don't know the exact degree, but the Moon is 14 to 26 Taurus. And this unexpected win happened while Moon was in Taurus.

Today the strongest aspects are transiting Neptune and Chiron EXACTLY opposition his Sun. YOU, Sun in Leo,  you who have spoken such brave words to power, have been chosen to represent a chunk of the idealistic mass craving healing of this broken system.  
He also has transiting Jupiter (good fortune) EXACTLY conjunct his natal Saturn (hard work) which is always EXACTLY opposition Mercury (how we think and communicate).  This exact opposition is helped out by aspects from Uranus at 5 Taurus in his natal chart. Unique, independent, marches to a different drum: add a little Jupiter, and wa la, he becomes a trendsetter. His life long attempts to communicate his core values have won him great honor today.

Astrology of Tiger Woods Apology

Click on chart for larger view
OK, let's take a look, shall we? Tiger is a Capricorn, with Mercury also in Capricorn. Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn, and here we see his Saturn is 1 Leo. At the time of the crash his Saturn was closely aspected by transiting Saturn (helpful sextile) and Pluto (inharmonious inconjunct). At the TIME of the crash (time is a keyword for Saturn) transiting Saturn was in his first house (how he is seen) and conjunct to the transiting Ascendant (super noticible). And the transiting Sun and Moon formed a VERY BRIEF grand trine with his Saturn. So Saturn, his ruling planet, representing responsibility, stature, maturity, pride in work well done, was having a lot of POSITIVE aspects from all but Pluto. At the time of the crash. Hmmm.
At the TIME of the apology, transiting Saturn and Pluto had barely moved. Mars is transiting directly on top of his Saturn, acting as a major itchy trigger finger, and the Sun is exactly inconjunct in Pisces, known for it's faith in the power of the mea culpa. The first thing I read said even if he was sincere in his apology,  his timing was off, trying to attract attention during a major tournament.
So much for Saturn. 

Tiger has 23 Virgo rising, and wow was that set off at the time of the crash by transiting Uranus EXACTLY opposite and Neptune EXACTLY inconjunct. "NOBODY is ever going to see me the same way again!" Venus acted as a trigger at the time of the crash. By the time of the apology Uranus and Neptune had moved on, changed houses, no longer aspecting the ascendant. But they both moved into aspect with his Mercury (how we think and communicate). The swiftly moving Ascendant was exactly trine natal ascendant, and creating a grand trine with his natal Mercury. Helping make communication a little easier is one way of looking at it. Slow and sure wins the race.

Notice that the crash has Libra rising ruled by Venus, and Venus was in Scorpio, almost conjunct his own Venus. WHOOOHOO lets talk about SEX. Let's see the dirty photos, eh what? The apology has Taurus rising, also ruled by Venus, and this time Venus is in Pisces. Compassion, empathy, "let he who has not sinned cast the first stone".
