Sleepy, Druggy Neptune overwhelms the Sun

Latest -this post has been updated in connection with the death of L'Wren Scott - with parallels to Charlotte Dawson
scroll down....... 

This week, late on February 23 2014, Universal Time, Neptune in Pisces conjuncted the Sun in Pisces.

This chart for the ingress or point of conjunction of the two planets, is made for London UK as an example
Neptune & the Sun are in the 6th house = matters concerning work and health/diet/nutrition re drugs/alcohol/allergies/sensitivities especially come to the fore

The chart itself emphasises all of the mutable signs - Pisces, Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius - since the horizontal and vertical axes contain the whole set, plus the Moon is conjuncted to the IC point in Sagittarius.
These 4 are the most sensitive signs -in terms of being affected, influenced, changed  -due to sensitivity to subtle energies
[compare Taurus, fixed sign, very sensitive to physical stimuli, the 5 senses of taste, touch, smell, sound and vision.

Of the 4 mutable signs, mutable water = Pisces is the most energetically sensitive and so with this Neptune to Sun conjunction having global effects,more people than usual are subjected to feeling extra sensitive to the pain & suffering of others and thus compassion.
On a physical level a dissipation of energy is likely for many -feeling wiped out, weak, exhausted, sleepy -this could be a consequence of substances, toxicity, infection.
Drugs, alcohol, poor diet, lack of sleep, poisoning, viral infection are the common suspects -but with Pisces, even more subtle causes can underlie the superficial explanations.
In Auckland, New Zealand the chart has a different emphasis:
The 12th house is the location where Pisces energies express most  strongly: in New Zealand the Sun-Neptune effect is very strong. The 4 mutables again control the energy of the axes -with Pisces rising on the ascendant and Sagittarius at the midheaven

Extreme sensitivity is often involved in cases of suicide.

Already in recent days the issue of cyber-bullying is to the fore in NZ and Australia raised anew by the suicide on Feb 22 2014, of media person Charlotte Dawson who left NZ for Australia due to perceived harsh treatment. Presumably a deliberate overdose of medication was involved, since that was her method of choice on a prior attempt.


Charlotte Dawson was born April 8 1966
Though her Sun sign was feisty Aries her achilles heel was her Pisces energy:

Her chart has very clear indicators of her extreme sensitivity and woundedness underneath the tough exterior:
On April 8 1966:
A triple exact conjunction in Pisces
Chiron the signifier of woundedness at 23.34 Pisces
Saturn -the negative, self destructive, depressive mindset,at 23.16 Pisces
Mercury - the type of mental state, at 23.23 Pisces
Venus is also in Pisces [1.19] so is not in close connection to the above.
Jupiter in Gemini at 25.19 is extremely close to an exact 90 degree angle [square] to the triple Pisces conjunction. This creates a highly active, non stop mind, full of thoughts. This aggravating factor gave Charlotte no peace from the woundedness and perpetual self destructive thoughts she faced from Day One -a pattern she came into this life with and endured throughout her 47 years.

The timing of her death is most probably linked to the current position of Saturn in February 2014, lingering around 23 Scorpio -a position activating and aggravating her 23 degree Pisces triple conjunction.
With her Moon at birth in late Scorpio [exact time of birth not known] it is also likely Saturn was having an effect on Charlotte's emotional state as well.
Then the Neptune-Sun conjunction in Pisces was the ultimate call to escape via her method of choice. Pisces is the undifferentiated sense of being totally connected to all of existence, in a spiritual sense as well as the ideal condition of the fetus in the womb when the mother is energetically connected to the child.
With Saturn in Pisces this sense of connectedness does not exist in the mind. 
This can be alleviated by the cultivation of a very profound spiritual consciousness, since ultimately our connection to the totality of existence transcends individual bonds, even that of mother & child.

Extremely sad and heartbreaking to see such potential,talent and life extinguished.
Charlotte faced a huge challenge in the nature of her own mind.
The intensity of that challenge as evidenced by the triple conjunction is a clear sign of the past life origins of her issues and the mammoth test she faced to resolve the suffering in her soul. 
The task of such an intense struggle would have defeated many if not most people.
I wish her much greater support in her next incarnation

update March 18 2014

A chilling mirror event reported in New York, as fashion model L'Wren Scott is found dead in New York on March 17 from an apparent suicidal act.

Ms Scott has some standout factors in her date of birth pattern [January 1 1967] which match closely those in Charlotte Dawson's -born April 8 1966.


[note: conflicting birthdates have been sourced but 1967 has strong credibility. Ms Scott was said to be secretive about divulging her birth data and the date most quoted - 

April 28 1964 
- is very hard to reconcile with the tragedy of March 17 2014.


She reinvented her name in 1985 upon leaving her Utah home for a career in Paris and reinventing a birthdate would be consistent with that transformational impulse - she would have not wanted her youth to be any impediment.  Leaving home at 18 she said she was visiting a friend in New York - instead L'Wren flew one-way to Paris - bolstered by the confidence of photographer Bruce Weber that she would make it there.
By claiming to be born in 1964 & thus 3 years older, the newly created L'Wren was now aged 21 a generally accepted age of adult independence.
Her intense attraction to the world of fashion even seems reflected in the connection to New York based fashion designer Ralph Lauren -the likely source of her creatively constructed name L'Wren]







January 1 1967 positions marked with R [retrograde] are Jupiter 1Leo55, Uranus 24Virgo25, Pluto 20Virgo38, True Node 14Taurus32



The two women were born some 9 months apart in the late 1960's
Their life stories are remarkably similar

L'Wren, adopted, was a fashion model and fashion designer, died by suicide with debt problems
Charlotte adopted at birth was a former fashion model and fashion director, died by suicide, with debt problems.

Charlotte has "A triple exact conjunction in Pisces
Chiron the signifier of woundedness at 23.34 Pisces
Saturn -the negative, self destructive, depressive mindset,at 23.16 Pisces
Mercury - the type of mental state, at 23.23 Pisces"

The January 1 1967 date for L'Wren has
Saturn at 24 Pisces, Chiron at 22 Pisces 
Uranus at 24 Virgo
Pluto at 20 Virgo
Saturn square Mercury
Being born a Capricorn, the situation of Saturn in Pisces gains even more significance
Deep seated sense of vulnerability, fragility, woundedness along with critical/destructive self analysis are qualities related to Chiron, Saturn, Virgo and when combined with Pisces the sense of someone adrift, not anchored in a firm identity. 
Charlotte and L'Wren both being children adopted into non-related families represent the deep wounding that can persist despite being loved or well-raised and despite outward blessings, achievements, social status. For some, the deep-seated crushing blow to their sense of identity and self worth is never eradicated & can manifest in traits such as an over-compensatory tough exterior, an outwardly bold personality. 

Being embedded in a giddying lifestyle, high achievement and glamour, L'Wren may have rarely shown cracks in the edifice of her life --report
In March 2014 from the 12th-13th, the Sun in Pisces activated directly first the Chiron position at 22 Pisces, then the Saturn position on March 14-15.
Already the Sun had passed opposite her Pluto position on March 10-11 and would pass as well opposite her Uranus position on March 14-15
This time frame now entered into the building Full Moon in Pisces with the Sun at 26 Pisces and the Moon at 26 Virgo on the 16th [Universal Time].
Over the period of a week of cascading activations, intensity of her inner wounds became too much to bear by the morning of March 17.

This collection of energy surrounding L'Wren was not the only factor:
Born with the Sun close to 10 degrees Capricorn she is one of many people currently under the immense stress of three planets - Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto -presently all lingering around 10 degrees.
The pressure from three potentially very destructive forces all in connection was the added factor, significant alone in itself.

Ms Scott has many hallmarks of Capricorn energy -the high ambitions -leaving her financially modest but family-rich upbringing for a life amongst high achievers, dating wealthy, highly successful much older men, she was very keen to marry Mick Jagger.
Quoted saying "I think I worry too much" [Capricorn/Saturn]
Described as having "Old world manners and charm" - Capricorn
"A total perfectionist" -the very significant Virgo planets
She wanted her designs to "create confidence" in the wearer - an insight into her personal issues, fragility. -Chiron
Said to have "sacrificed a lot to be with Jagger" - Pisces

Stylist Phillip Bloch: - 
"She was always very controlling, strong"  - Capricorn
Fame and fortune were said to be the drivers of her ambition - Capricorn
     
Suicide can have many motivations, one being a desire to "go to sleep & not wake up" or "return to the source of all connectedness" or "end the pain by escaping". These are all thoughts of a Pisces kind. The ideal state in the womb is Piscean bliss.

The prevailing Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto pattern is also very relevant in the case of the missing airplane.

Extreme Weather: cycles & indicators

There are various forms of record keeping and data sets which enable the detection of repeated cycles of relevance to issues of weather, climate & extreme events affecting our planet.

Visually you can go to The Planets Today to see and use an interactive solar system

For data there are online ephemeris such as astro.com or Sun to Sedna if you do not have a print version.

When researching significant storms, hurricanes, earthquakes, drought,floods or any extreme natural or weather event,patterns related to cycles are evident.

Be assured though that no one single indicator is involved. It is more common to see several reinforcing factors amplifying the energy into a tipping of the balance.

Balance is the most relevant keyword - when there is too much or too little of a relevant factor - eg temperature, moisture -then the system responds

System is equally important since everything is part of a system -from the smallest quantum environment to the seemingly limitless galactic space. Forgetting that Planet Earth is part of the Solar System is the first big error people make in trying to understand our environment.
February 3 1931 targeted Hawkes Bay, New Zealand
This  solar system graphic shows part of the story, but the alignments of key factors are even more apparent in a simplified graphic - from the top, follow the angle from Pluto which is in conjunction with Jupiter on one side of the central Sun. On the other side, in opposition is Saturn
To the right side, at right angles to both positions is Uranus -said to be squaring the 3 aligned planets.
planets connected by alignment and angles




The data for the 1931 earthquake is:
Pluto 19 Cancer
Jupiter 12 Cancer
Saturn 17 Capricorn
Uranus 12 Aries
All of these positions average out or meet at a midpoint around 15.5 degrees.
The extra factor is the opposing points at which the moon is crossing the ecliptic -termed the lunar nodes
Posiions given are:
16 Aries, 16 Libra

The four zodiac signs involved - Aries, Libra, Cancer, Capricorn comprise a set of signs and when in full alignment form the Cardinal Cross
Historic records show Jupiter and Uranus aligned together in conjunction are enough to activate powerful natural forces.
They also have potent effects when arranged at right angles to each other as in 1931

[ the 2011 February quake in Christchurch NZ & the March 2011 Japan quake/tsunami all occurred in the wake of the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in Pisces -which was in effect when the sequence started in September 2010.
Feb  21 2011 also saw an exact Mercury-Mars-Neptune conjunction in Aquarius
March 2011 saw Uranus at right angles to the lunar nodes
Jupiter was also at right angle to Pluto
Extra energy is supplied by:
The addition of other planets in the mix [ 1931 has Pluto and Saturn]
A single or multiple planets connected to the lunar nodes [1931 has Uranus in conjunction to the north Node; Jupiter, Pluto, Saturn all at right angles to the nodal axis]
The historic records are full of researchable dates which show ingredients such as these over and over.
Another commonly seen sensitive trigger factor seems to be 25-29 degrees in the Mutable set of signs [Gemini, Sagittarius, Pisces,Virgo]
The direct connection here is that our galaxy is positioned at 27 Sagittarius [GC] and when significant planets [Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto or the lunar nodes in particular] activate 27 SAG it coincides with galactic forces funneled into earth's atmosphere

A few examples:
 22 May 1927 China quake: Jupiter right angle to lunar nodes; nodes at 28 Gemini
March 7 1927 Japan quake: Uranus at 28 Gemini

January 1928 -River Thames in major flood -Jupiter-Uranus conjunction late Pisces & activating GC
May 2 1983 major quake California - Jupiter conjunct Uranus; Neptune & nodes activate GC
May 1941 Iowa flood - Jupiter conjunct Uranus; Neptune-Mercury-Nodes all activate GC
May 2010 Tennessee flood -Jupiter conjunct Uranus in Pisces; Saturn opposition to JUP-URA

The mutable sign group - Gemini, Sagittarius, Pisces,Virgo are more connected to water events
The Cardinal set -  Aries, Libra, Cancer, Capricorn
are associated with atmospheric events involving wind =storms, hurricanes as well as earth structural events
September 1930 Dominican Republic hurricane - Jupiter in Cancer at right angle to Uranus in Aries [repeats March 2014]
August 1900 Galveston Hurricane - Saturn opposite Neptune,28-29 Gemini-Sag both activating the GC . Flooding was immense.

August 2005 -Katrina - Jupiter activates the lunar nodes in Aries-Libra. Jupiter-Uranus positions are centred* at 27 SAG -activating the GC. Extreme wind, extreme flooding.

[ *the term midpoint is commonly used to identify the position at which any set of energies has a combined or amplified effect: in August 2005 Jupiter at 15 Libra and Uranus at 9 Pisces revealed their hidden synergy when the midpoint of their positions was calculated to be exactly at the galactic centre position 27 Sagittarius.

A midpoint is often found to be active where no other obvious combinations are in effect]

February 2014 Full Moon in Leo

This full moon at 26 Aquarius-Leo on February 14 (UT) is complicated by Mercury, Mars & Saturn in close contact as well as the triggering of the prevailing Uranus-Pluto square
This pattern builds some 3 days prior to exactitude then sets the theme for the lunar month ahead
Volatile, unpredictable and anarchic potentials amongst people in mass gatherings
The same extreme forces have influence over weather energies as well
