July 30 New Moon 2011 - astro analysis

Image
It's a New Moon in Leo exact at 7LEO16 at 6.41 am NZ time on July 31st 2011. The Auckland chart gives 24CAN12 ASC & 15TAU32 MC. In Auckland NZ, its a first house Leo New Moon, with various interactions - emphasising self interest, self indulgence vs humanitarianism and generosity, survivalism vs compassion, cold heartedness versus warm fuzzies . Many of these aspects wilbe global, giving people tests to see which direction they are chossing during the month of influence -August -when situations or issues will arise giving people opportunity to reflect upon what sort of relationship they have to others. Pluto and Jupiter both in earth (material, money) signs means issues around finance, the economy, what you own or want to have, will be hi profile issues. not surprising the American debt crisis is right on the agenda as this New Moon has been developing. Interesting too that this is hovering around Obama's birthday -August 4, embroiling his energies with the spirit o

NASA Sunspot Predictions - from Maximum to Minimum

Image
If the Sun had ramped up it's magnetic energy from 2007 and was on target to reach dizzying heights in sunspot numbers by 2012, we could expect to get nervous about the sorts of impacts forewarned in You Tube videos on Solar Storm Warnings, coinciding with 2012. Instead the Sun confused NASA scientists and failed to kick into Cycle 24 until 2009. Since then, the results have been far from spectacular, leaving many to switch forecasts from Maximum to Minimum. Many online reports say NASA issued a 2010 warning re flares and a huge space storm whilst also declaring a Deep Solar Minimum and the two conditions are not mutually exclusive. A recent NASA news release (June 2011) still talks of such a storm, which is possible even in a below-average sunspot cycle - since one happened before (1859 Carrington Event). As for confirming a date. No such luck in this uncertain area of science. Also,if we do observe very low sunspot levels in 2012-2014, seen in the last similar era the Maund

Picking up Dog Poop with Sigourney Weaver

Image
                                                  Image courtesy of Wikimedia Commons   Sigourney and I had engaged in an enjoyable conversation at the gathering we were both attending. It was a film industry event held in New Zealand, in a location away from the city. We found ourselves on a sloping hillside amongst thick mounded rows of freshly cut green grass. Suddenly, Sigourney let out an anguished cry, as befits one with such impeccable skills. In her bare feet, she had stood on dog poop, as I discovered when I rushed over to her assistance. The droppings looked suspiciously like those of my own dog, Pablo - small, thin and moist, caramel-coloured, in a little heap. So many times I had collected up deposits like this. Of course, I had plastic bags available, but the enormous heaps of grass served well to scoop up the poop and clear it away beyond a rocky border. Whew! That drama over, we spoke of an associate's new project and that I was disappointed he  hadn't made

Celestial Geometry: The Mystery of Crop Circles

Image
Whatever you believe about crop circles, the persistently graceful, highly symbolic celestial geometry is undeniable. This one was documented on July 26 2011 at Windmill Hill, near Avebury, an historic location in south-west England. Some people consider the symbols to be a communication regarding events and changes on a galactic scale, impacting on our planet. If so the question remains whether the message is being sent as a subconscious transmission, rather than a code to crack intellectually.                                 To explore more visit the Crop Circle Connector                 

July 2011: Amy Winehouse & Oslo Events -astro-analysis

Recent News July 2011: Amy Winehouse Dead. Massacre in Oslo.                AMY JADE WINEHOUSE  September 14 1983-23 July 2011                                 Born and died in London, UK.  Here's a very useful link to start looking at the inner demons facing Amy Winehouse Viewing her chart  it is immediately evident how Mutable (changeable) her energies are, bolstered by a big dose of Fire signs . The intensity of the groupings and their interactions means she was an extreme version of all of the relevant mutable signs: Virgo, Pisces, Gemini, Sagittariu s ,  and the fiery Aries, Leo . Not surprising that she is known for flamboyance, creativity & drama (Leo), drugs (Pisces), excess (Sag), assault charges (Aries) and the Virgo and Gemini qualities would have expressed through her writing and were likely to have been evident to those who knew her best. The big mix she was dealing with means she was certainly not a poster girl for the sun sign she was born under, Vi

The Power of the Dalai Lama

The immense healing power of the Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso is apparent to anyone who has been in his presence. Whether that means in speaking distance or within a huge convention centre, the compassionate force emanated by this exceptional being is life changing. The Chinese government has expressed outrage at a meeting provided by President Obama in Washington, but the continued good works by the Dalai Lama around the world are a testimony to his true heart. A recent Herald article from July 2011, covers some interesting aspects of his succession, considering that this too is an aspect China intends to control. Also read this excellent astro analysis regarding the Dalai Lama's encounter with Obama, charts and synastry included.

July 15 Full Moon 2011- astro analysis

Busy today writing of the next likely financial meltdown as a pre-warning for those wanting to make preparations. So here are some interpretations that may be of value around this month's Full moon's effects - Ravenesue Tarot using astrology - Astrolore With icy conditions over New Zealand it definitely activates the Capricornian hibernation mode and as always when the signs Cancer and Capricorn align in a full Moon, the various issues of inner, private life offset against public, professional roles are up for reflection. Being two of the cardinal signs, which dominate into 2012, ( the remaining two being Aries, Libra ) - all aspects of the cardinal group also come into the picture. Where Aries is individuality, me, my needs, Libra is us, we, our partnership or relationship (personal or work related) Juggling all four of these into a work-life balance has proven to be tricky in this era of career and financially driven imperatives, but the social cost of imbalance ha

The Next Financial Meltdown (2012) is not a movie

Image
Before looking ahead, I urge each of you readers to watch the award winning movie The Inside Job (2010) by Charles Ferguson. Here is a brief trailer, just a taste of what the full length documentary movie reveals. Even if you feel you already know the full extent of the corrupt practices which underscored the 2008 crash in America and resulting recession. Even if you feel you've decided it will never happen again.    For 2015 updates scroll to end of post This documentary reveals the deeply embedded system in America, designed to create millions in profit for the engineers of the set up. Way beyond the realm of high roller casino gambling, the financial system embroiled in the 2008 crash is based on the schemes and dreams of men who play with multiple millions of dollars, at the expense of the everyday citizen. Rotten to the core, but still very much alive, the industry is loaded with Dead Men Walking, bankrupt in every manner possible, aside from their pe

US Drought Monitor 2020-2023: A snapshot inserted here January 2024 Update April 2020 Looking at Drought in the 2020s Since the original post was compiled in 2011 evidence continues to affirm the author's observations that particular positions of the outer planets are signposts of drought - the ancients used direct observation - the modern  observer has historical records and search engines -and the ability to match these with predictions using the methodology outlined is clear. Data is data The advantage of knowing planetary movements in advance using an Ephemeris enables advance warning far beyond the time frames of standard meteorology. What is clear when viewing the 2020s is that - as usual - there are preceding conditions that feed into the present era. With current references to "megadrought" conditions it is timely to look ahead. By now conditions in your local landscape will confirm where you are placed on the spectrum of severity re
