Tensions: 2013-2014 transition

Don't be surprised if you are picking up on the atmosphere of strong vibratory tensions surrounding end of 2013-start of 2014.
The magnetic heliosphere dispensed by our Sun way out to inter-stellar space is a significant ingredient which binds the solar domain into one feedback system of sun, planets and the other stellar bodies -so what happens in one part affects the rest - this underlies our total interconnectedness to everything.
Buddhism is the only faith I know of which explicitly identifies this aspect of reality.

The tensions identified in the given time frame place strain on all biological, technological & natural systems = basically everything from people and animals, electronics, to the weather
This is the picture:

The ingredients are:
Sun, Mercury & Pluto all conjoined from 9 to 11 degrees Capricorn -at the top of the wheel
Uranus at 8 Aries on the left is at effective 90 degree angle to the Capricorn grouping
Mars at 11 Libra on the right is opposite Uranus and also at effective 90 degree angle to the Capricorn grouping
[some analysts would add Jupiter to the mix -being at 16 Cancer at start of 2014, therefore forming the shaft of an arrow in relation to the planets shown as an arrowhead. I use much tighter orbs or degrees of variation - but Jupiter if integrated in this pattern would amplify & exaggerate energy expressions = bigger, stronger etc]

This pattern illustrated is termed a T-square & represents an intensity of stress, tension under any circumstances -but when the factors include the aggressive Mars, volatile Uranus, extreme and transformational Pluto to Sun & Mercury the consequences are significant in terms of death and destruction.
Individuals lose their self control due to the pressure so there is more potential for violence, angry outbursts,
Pluto takes the intensity to the maximum so mass deaths, mass destruction, terrorist attacks, brutality, rape & murder are more likely outcomes
With Mercury involved people are vulnerable when walking, cycling, travelling on land by car, bus, train -road crashes, explosions, bombings, road rage all express this influence

This is not a time to take risks or provoke volatile people.
Of course the direct energy does not express itself in all people and all locations -each of us and every place has an energy blueprint or template which will either match strongly i.e. resonate with the stress pattern -or will be unaffected at a primary level [Secondary or indirect effects involve encountering people suffering from primary effects  [eg helping a road crash victim] . Tertiary effects would include reading or viewing news reports of signature events - so especially in this age of instant mass communications more of the global population are sharing the indirect effects of significant events via media.

At the very least you are very likely to encounter news in this transition to 2014 that is already indicative of the building energy: examples reported include:
Transport-related suicide bombings in Russia
German tourists assaulted in New Zealand
Sex attack on woman walking in Sydney
Volcanic unrest El Salvador, El Hierro
New Zealand has early high road death toll in vacation period
Brain trauma life threatening for Michael Schumacher
[Schumacher is in a high-risk situation having been born on January 3 1969
The Sun was at 12 Capricorn on that day and so his energy is very caught up in the prevailing tensions placing him at risk of dying -or being significantly changed]
Schumacher news
update January 18 2014 Doctor says Schumacher will never be the same
Research Vessel Akademik Shokalskiy trapped in Antarctic Ice:
At around 0720hrs AEDT on Christmas Day 2013, the ship became trapped in heavy ice a few miles from the coast of Antarctica, 100 nautical miles east of the French base and approximately 1500NM south of Hobart The icebreakers Xue Long and Aurora Australis and the French research vessel L'Astrolabe, sailed towards the Akademik Shokalskiy to assist.

The icebreaker Xue Long was prevented by thick sea ice from coming closer than about 6NM from the Akademik Shokalskiy, though has remained in open water nearby, able to deploy its helicopter The Astrolabe also turned back, after encountering heavy ice.


The Aurora Australis abandoned its first attempt to reach the stranded ship, as the ice was too thick to be broken and because of the risk of also becoming trapped in the ice. It was within 10NM of the Akademik Shokalskiy and will make a second attempt when weather improves. Plans are also being made for possible evacuation of 52 passengers and 4 crew by helicopter. -excerpt from Wikipedia Akademik Shokalskiy

With New Year's Eve being traditionally in many locations a time of mass gatherings and drunken revelry this year it is exceptionally important to avoid risktaking: the odds are stacked against you.
New Year's day continues the warning in effect on account of the added ingredient of the New Moon - meaning the Moon joins the Sun at 11 degrees Capricorn bringing even more potency to the already strong potentials.
This is the first Supermoon -near closest contact [perigee] with earth - for 2014 and it occurs when the Moon is in very South declination [at max South on Dec 31] which is another strain factor for the earth crust, seismicity, volcanism.

Magnetic Reversal of the Sun is underway

The sun undergoes cyclic magnetic reversals - the positive polarity [green] becomes reversed with the negative polarity [purple] over time
The process occurs at around 11 year intervals, marking the midway point in a solar sunspot cycle,called solar max.
Solar cycles are also of around 11 years duration.
NASA says
"The domain of the sun's magnetic influence (also known as the 'heliosphere') extends billions of kilometers beyond Pluto. 
Changes to the field's polarity ripple all the way out to the Voyager probes, on the doorstep of interstellar space."

The sun functions on one level as a magnetic dynamo. The reversal sees the field strength drop to zero then each polarity reformulates in the alternate value.
The Earth responds similarly to its own internal dynamo, but reversals occur in a vastly longer cycle - over hundreds of thousands of years. Most recently the magnetic field strength of Earth has been noted to be in decline since 1840.
With space science still being in relative infancy lacking a substantial body of historical references, much is to be discovered regarding the impacts of solar induced spaceweather impacting Earth & our climate, especially the issue of weather extremes.

The exaggerated undulations of the solar current sheet during field reversal bring to mind the distortions of the Earth's atmospheric jet streams.
Are they related events?

ASTROLOGY Notes Dec 2013-New Year

Millions across the globe will celebrate Christmas or at least some social & family gatherings and for many a brief or extended vacation.
What sort of influences are prevailing mid Dec-mid Jan 2014?
The planetary indicators include:
Full Moon in Gemini on Dec 17
[has a lunar month of influence beginning Dec 14]
Sun in Sagittarius opposite Moon in Gemini gives impetus to much movement over distance -this includes the short local trips [Gemini] which can involve motorized transport [car], or self propelled [cycle], mass transport [bus,train] or simply bipedal = walking/jogging
From Gemini to Sagittarius the territory of movement expands -so under SAG it is long journeys and travel -to other countries and by virtue of even larger transportation -airplane, cruise ship.

So trips or travel will be on the agenda for millions more than normal, across the globe in the stated time frame.
That the two planets related to trips/travel -Jupiter and Mercury are in generally helpful positions: Mercury is in SAG and Jupiter in Cancer [ this position inclining more people to make FAMILY trips which will have deep & meaningful ingredients
[Saturn in Scorpio linked tightly to Jupiter in Cancer]

BUT for many days
either side of the Full Moon, the "spanner in the works" Uranus is sitting in virtual standstill - a condition which intensifies the energy of upsets & disruption -including accidents & unpredicted sudden events - things no one anticipated - & we observers have discovered that this energy is having a significant effect on homes, families, relationships, careers - one or more of these critical areas of your life is likely to be showing signs of an imbalance needing correction -too much or too little energy received from you. Time to fix the problems that are undeniable.
Time to avoid risky situations or just take extra care & account for what could logically causedifficulties

Problem is
The effects of Uranus energy blended with Pluto's intensity is bringing about the major changes we all need to make in this time frame 2012-2016
But in December 2013 - Mars joins that power couple from Xmas Eve, soon joined by the Moon, Sun and Mercury -so that come New Years Eve and into the New Year of 2014, accentuated further by the New Moon in Capricorn on January 1 - there are significant alerts to bear in mind

One risky issue is likely to involve the friction that arises when close & extended families gather together & face their sensitive side. Disputes and disharmony are best dealt with by having plans or protocols in place to mediate and calm the rough waters.
Don't push your luck or take risks with this energy as the extreme end of the spectrum of responses is on the table -with violent outbursts expected from those without self control.
The Capricorn element of the energy mix represents older people -adults, parents, elders etc who need to step up and provide guidance as is their appropriate role in a healthy community [sadly the breakdown of society starts with dysfunctional parenting by those too emotionally undeveloped to guide their offspring]
Women need to be alert to overly testosterone-charged males in this period who seek to dominate & control those around them -with force if they choose to.

With Capricorn's planetary expression through Saturn in Scorpio and the North Lunar Node in Scorpio
the issues of sexual behaviour and experience of death are more emphasised and reflect the need to be responsible, careful and restrained with sexual matters because the karmic balance book is open on this page right now placing even greater significance on what choices you make regarding matters of SEX, DEATH and the use of your personal power in relationship to others.

Happy New Year!
but try to be safe & make responsible choices

Nigella & Saatchi - the Uranus-Pluto Effect

No astrological data can be located for the embattled couple Charles Saatchi & Nigella Lawson but their birthdates alone are revealing.
Both have Saturn closely conjunct the Sun - he in Gemini [ideas, the mind], she in Capricorn [earthy,driven] - providing significant business ambition and career prominence

Both have lots of fiery energy -Leo and Aries for Charles
Mainly Sagittarius for Nigella
Both have fire Moons, Venus and Mars so tempestuous relating is a given
Both Charles and Nigella have a Venus intensified by Pluto - creating a risk of obsessive, controlling behaviour in relating to others -or being subjected to partners of this type [Charles Venus conjunct Pluto; Nigella Venus square Pluto]
Charles' Uranus is opposite Nigella's Venus & so square her Pluto - emphasising a volatility & likelihood of sudden changes in the relationship.

All relationships are karmic encounters. People meet up again to try to further resolve their credits and debits to each other. Maybe it all seems like a repeat and nothing much has shifted.

It will be groundhog day next life if the settlements are not resolved to the agreement of both parties.

Both Nigella and Charles have a planet in close conjunction to the other's present life "destiny".
Nigella's Uranus in Leo on Charles north lunar node
A Leo node offers development through creativity, but most importantly through love and the opening of the heart chakra.
Nigella has a role of bringing change in this regard in her dynamic with Charles

Charles Neptune in Virgo on Nigella's north lunar node
The Virgo energy for Nigella reflects a shift needing to occur from retreat, spacing out, and escapism towards the structure of work, focus and being part of a system.
Pisces south node is the opposite sign position to the Virgo north node =  a weakness for addictive behaviour needing to be overcome.
Charles' Neptune is a combination of the energy of Pisces-Virgo which can result in people with significant digestive sensitivities and therefore fussy, critical eaters.
This gives grounds for conflict over loose [Pisces] versus highly analysed [Virgo] practices which both Charles and Nigella may have alternately been prone to  - or the distinction could be very much polarized in terms of roles.

The transiting planets in 2013 have conspired to bring about an eruption in the dynamics between this pair
When Saturn, Uranus and Pluto are in the room the party is not a light affair.
In 2013 the north lunar node moving through Scorpio, joined by Saturn has moved in range and passed over Nigella's Neptune over several months from September.

Neptune and Scorpio are both notoriously secretive. Together they have potential to include both illicit drug use and illicit sexual behaviour - or at the very least a highly imaginative fantasy sex life.

Uranus and Pluto are toppling people and systems across the world as they embark on a process that was last experienced globally in the mid 1960's.
This is an era of great upheaval in people's lives but far more intense than in the flower power era of social change.
This time the issue of the use and abuse of power is very much to the fore and many have already fallen in sex scandals since this is a common territory for abusers or in political or financial mismanagement.
For others, widespread natural disasters have overturned their normal life in an act of rebalancing.
We all have to work out what we need to change.
Pluto and Uranus have been hovering around 9 degrees in the cardinal signs Capricorn and Aries so anyone born late Dec-early Jan, late March-early April, late June-early July, late Sept-early October = in any year are bearing the full brunt of the pressure to make major life changes -or have them made for you by an external force or person

Both Charles and Nigella are in the direct path of these forces:
Charles' Mars is at 9 Aries.
He needs to resolve the changes he needs to make by March 2014
Likely issues are about use of energy that expresses as selfish, aggressive, impatient, angry. 
Effects for him are not as enduring as for Nigella
Nigella's Saturn is at 10 Capricorn linked to Sun at 15 Capricorn.
Her Sun at 15 CAP remains under pressure for another 4 years [due to the Saturn-Sun link having a midpoint of 12 CAP], with Pluto activating the 15 CAP point in space closely & exactly in 2015-2016
Uranus at 15 Aries is further pressure for Nigella to change in 2014-2015
The Sun in a woman's chart is symbolic of the male archetypes she is relating to.
Working on father issues is a good starting point.
