In my last post, I wrote that the full moon in Virgo on 2-28-2010 would relate to matters connected with the earth, as the sign Virgo rules matters associated with the earth/Mother nature.  I also wrote the Mercury-Neptune conjunction relates to adverse weather conditions and more accidents than usual-water.  The obvious result is the earthquake in Chile and the subsequent alarming of the Pacific Coast rim with fears of a tsunami as a direct result of the earthquake. But, in true Neptunian fashion the tsunami did not reach the dreaded peak that had been feared and Hawaii was not devastated.

The earthquake in Chile is not a strict result of the full moon.  The bigger planetary influence at play is Saturn square Pluto, a transit that started as soon as Saturn moved into Virgo October 31, 2009.  The square has been within a few degrees of being exact since it started.  This configuration will continue within a few degrees until April when Saturn retrogrades into a direct opposition with Uranus at 28 degrees of Pisces, at which time we enter another period fraught with risk of further earth changes.  The transit will also relate to matters connected with business, banking, work, jobs health and healthcare issues and reform.  It will represent another stressful period in the 21 months remaining leading up to the much publicized-speculated about year of 2012.

Much of the year 2010 will be a year of unexpected events-surprises, some of them connected to the earth and natural disasters, as we approach the year 2012, the end of the Mayan calendar. This is a year of change.  Between now and 2012 we will see future events connected with the earth-and with water. As we approach 2011 we may start to run out of water, and/or the water will turn colder, resulting in harsher winters with water in the form of ice and snow.

 

Before the devastating earthquake in Haiti on January 13, we were moving toward another very important full moon and an eclipse in Capricorn on January 15, 2010.-Capricorn rules matters connected to the earth-land-oil, as well as business. Eclipses are powerful astrological events that are known to ‘set off’ planetary configurations, and the eclipse ‘set off’ the powerful Saturn-Pluto square, triggering this massive earthquake.

On January 12, I was talking to Keen speaker Ness21, who said, “I feel we are going to have another earthquake very soon.  Perhaps within 24-48 hours, and I feel, an...’earthquake in the water.’ So, I knew then, the potential for earth changes and disasters I saw in the stars would come to soon come to pass.

Ness has been predicting earthquakes for years, and I have seen this occur on several occasions.  She has the gift of being in tune with nature and Mother Earth speaks to her when something is about to happen.  She became aware of this gift as a child when her Grandmother began teaching her about listening to nature.

The disaster in Haiti has been of monumental proportion in terms of human life.  The most the people there can hope for is that the international community will continue to be as generous as it has been as time goes on and rebuilding starts in earnest.

Ness’s prediction about the earthquake in the water came to pass on February 27, a direct result of the full moon/Saturn-Pluto square setting off another earthquake in Chili, then  sending  ripples throughout the Pacific Rim area.  Ness sees more earthquakes, especially around the Pacific Rim, and further risk of tsunamis in the future.  She has studied earth and climate change for years and predicts the events leading up to 2012 are going to be focused on the earth, among other situations that will occur.  She believes the earth is in a cyclical stage and the climate will become colder, leading up to shortages of food as a direct result of the climate change. Food crops in Florida have already been affected by an unusually cold winter this year.  She says this is only the beginning and the price of some foods will skyrocket, such as citrus fruit and coffee.

 

Ness21 is not the only person who believes this.  Many famous and well known astrologers are predicting food shortages over the next few years. The Saturn-Pluto square is separating this month, but that does not mean some other planetary configuration may set it off again.  Saturn opposes Uranus again, and April 23-May1, this configuration is exact.  We have seen this alignment in the past and when it occurred on November 5, 2008 at 16 degrees, America elected its first black President.   This will be the final opposition in these signs and it will relate to change that can be of a disruptive nature as the energy of Saturn the taskmaster, collides with the unexpected, explosive energies of Uranus in Pisces, revealing issues we are not yet aware of.  And there is always potential for further ‘earth changes.’

When Saturn moves forward and into Libra for the final time July 21, it will collide in a square—struggles and obstacles- with Pluto, the transformer and regenerator in the sign Capricorn, the ruler of earth, land, mining, oil, banks, and business.  This time, a new element will be introduced.  Uranus, the planet of sudden, explosive, unexpected surprises moves to the 0 degree of Aries and is exact  opposing Saturn, squaring Pluto July 23-August 14, for the first time. On June 26, 2010, we have another eclipse in the sign ruling matters connected with the earth—Capricorn, at 4 degrees, thus increasing our chances of seeing another disaster relating to ‘earth changes.’

  Not only is it a complete change as Uranus moves out of Pisces, it is the 0 degree of the first sign of the zodiac,that is significant within itself. Thus, Uranus in Aires opposes Saturn, squares Pluto and Pluto and Saturn square each other in what is called a giant T-square.

 

Uranus moving into Aires, is a huge change, after the planet of unexpected rebellions, explosive surprises and  catastrophes moves from the spiritual peaceful laid back sign of Pisces to the sign ruling the self.- It represents ‘the newborn individual’ in all its glory and trauma, as the focus is placed upon the self-the individual will. 

Certain individuals in the world will make their p presence known. Not only is the sign Aires the complete opposite of the lessons of Pisces, it is at a critical degrees.  Critical degrees for cardinal signs are 0, 13 and 26 degrees.  In moving from 29 degrees of Pisces to the 0 degree Ares point the Uranian energy moves from the gentler Pisces to a degree considered crisis-oriented.  Aires takes the energy of Uranus of moves it toward a situation that will manifest outward events in the world.  Aires represents, the ‘I am’ and the 0 point has been called the Alpha and the Omega and representative of the world at large. Renowned astrologer-author Celeste Teal calls it, ‘an event/ events that will affect the world at large.’
