GREECE says NO - bailout conditions rejected by 61%. Astro analysis indicators for July indicate a month of extreme events - plus extending even longer due to aggravating effects: Issues impacting upon families, on
homes and housing, on government, on finance & economics and an
activation of the energies of war and peace, make this month very
potent.
The period 13-19 July surrounding the Full Moon, is critical: Devotional patriotism is strongly stimulated. Loss of wealth, loss of assets, restricted access to money.
By late July The overriding theme is that cruel,
austere, brutal and cold hearted urges will be in conflict with the
energies of big-hearted love and generosity.Helping those in need versus abandoning those who are struggling is a relevant consideration.
The full July report covers various optional expressions for the prevailing energy. Two major indicators analysed in the July report and forewarned in the June report, suggest a very rough economic period in store for many
June-July-August-Sept 2015. This will not just be limited to the domestic situation in Greece
Update July 15
On the eve of the New Moon the Greek parliament has passed measures to introduce the austerity conditions imposed by Euro creditors. The IMF has strongly criticised the extent of these measures. Too tough? or just right? The astrological indicators are on the side of the IMF -that the conditions are too extreme - and that an implosion is the likely outcome as opposed to a recovery. The very rough economic period in store for many
June-July-August-Sept 2015is calling the shots - but this period is not the end of a longterm trend...read China and World economy indicators
Analysis of prevailing energies extending from June 2015 into July 2015 shows continued high risk of extreme behaviour, extreme force. Balance is in short supply. Particular periods in the month of July stand out as emphasising the aggravating potentials.
Each date should be extended by 1-3 days either side - with the New and Full Moon having the widest range. Universal time is used - which in some locations indicates the day prior for events dated.
July 2 Full Moon & Saturn-Pluto, Mars emphasised July 6-7 Sun, Mercury, Saturn Pluto July 16 New Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Saturn, Pluto July 31 Full Moon, Jupiter, Saturn, Pluto With Cancer-Capricorn emphasised under the New and first Full Moon, the related signs Aries and Libra are automatically triggered as well. Issues impacting upon families, on homes and housing, on government, on finance & economics and an activation of the energies of war and peace, make this month very potent. Everyday issues will arise in the noted contexts but the hi-risk potentials involving the combined Saturn-Pluto capacity for extremes of destruction cannot be ignored. When these two energies draw in other planets by virtue of their geometric positioning, there is more intensity and scope for the combined forces to have mass impact. People disposed to act out these forces are more triggered than usual to commit mayhem, under the prevailing vibrational stimulation occurring in July 2015. [Update:News reports as July begins reflect the violent aggressive forces emphasised - prison riot in Australia, murders, stabbings. In addition, the role of Mars energy, especially from July 1-4: Mars brings heat, inflammations; more war-like, militaristic activity All these effects in addition to the overriding destructive Full Moon] themes of Saturn-Pluto
addendum June 29
The above forecast was written in a period when two major themes already unfolding:
A swarm of terrorist attacks, which seem to be a response to the call to act during Ramadan [18 June-17 July in 2015]
This is a June New Moon to July New Moon time frame
The
aftermath, if this default occurs is viewed either as extremely bad or
not so bad by different observers. That may reflect whether you are an
out-of work Greek citizen or a citizen of a more prosperous Euro nation.
Clearly the threads are there, the energies in place for both situations to spiral into globally significant situations.
The period 13-19 July Universal Time is of most relevance. Religious tribalism or devotional patriotism is strongly stimulated. [Cancer New Moon in Pisces decanate] Losses of wealth and relationships both equally possible [Saturn-Venus]
July 15 update:
With a bailout negotiated for Greece instead of a Grexit from the Eurozone, the IMF has condemned the terms imposed on Greece -preferring a write-down of debt, but the creditors were not impressed. PM Tsipras faces a parliamentary battle to comply with bailout terms. The austerity side of the equation has been given a leading advantage in the Greece negotiations -which is consistent with the New and next Full Moon forecasts identifying the balance sliding further into economic adversity for many. All this volatile energy is now unfolding in the New Moon timeframe - building over 3 days, rising to exactitude on July 16 (UT 01.24) & the wake period of 3 days -effectively July 13-19 - plus generally in effect for the lunar month until mid August New Moon. This is significant -as all events are that have timing connecting to a New Full or Eclipse solar-lunar event. The New Moon themes as stated involve: Families, homes and housing. Losses of wealth and losses in relationships both equally possible
From July 28 another pattern builds The unusual two Full Moons in a month situation compresses even further the timeline of events: Exact full Moon is on July 31 Universal time 10.44am Now involving Leo-Aquarius -and their team-mates Taurus-Scorpio. Sun, Moon, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn will occupy 3 of those 4 signs but keywords for all four energies are relevant.
Leo is the indicator of dramatic people and events. Sun, Mercury, Jupiter in Leo will bring a lot of love energy to the fore Aquarian energy is about social justice, relating as equals in any context, freedom. But the Saturn-Pluto theme is still in play:Scorpio energy is expressed by Saturn in Scorpio at this time and the energy of Pluto in the equally ruthless Capricorn. This combination as explained earlier: hi-risk potentials involving the combined Saturn-Pluto capacity for extremes of destruction cannot be ignored. When
these two energies draw in other planets by virtue of their geometric
positioning, there is more intensity and scope for the combined forces
to have mass impact. This can be actions made by humans or forces of nature
People disposed to act out these forces are more
triggered than usual to commit mayhem, under the prevailing vibrational
stimulation occurring in July 2015. Taurus represents money, possessions, security. The global financial entanglement threatens this aspect of life more than ever. Some will have these issues highest in their priorities.
The overriding theme is that cruel, austere, brutal and cold hearted urges will be in conflict with the energies of big-hearted love and generosity. Helping those in need versus abandoning those who are struggling is a relevant consideration. Jupiter & Venus together in Leo are a loving, warm, generous combination but when offset against the cold brutality of Saturn & Pluto a big choice has to be made to bring love to the fore instead of hate. Each of us will resonate with some part of this pattern of energy and each is positioned on one part of the spectrum between love, kindness, tolerance and the energy of hatred, destruction and repression. This positioning of self is emphasised in the lunar month from late July 2015. Hopefully you can act with full consciousness. [update: a big global story with relevance to the July Full Moon is the shooting of Cecil the lion by American game hunter Walter Palmer. Cecil being a lion is a LEO symbol. The man abusing his technologically enhanced power - weaponry - is a Pluto-Saturn symbol
Palmer, left, above on another hunt. The internet has many images of this trophy hunters big game exploits. Because this behaviour which was brought to global attention in the rising period of the late July Full Moon and because it resonates so strongly with the issues activated under the prevailing planetary energies, this issue is globally significant ]

February 2016: Austerity politics in Ireland set to upset the power base February 2016: Brutal Austerity in New Zealand The southern city of Christchurch has suffered over 15,000 earthquakes since the initial M7.1 in September 2010 and the people of the region are still suffering greatly.
Feb 21 Hundreds protest in Christchurch, New Zealand on the eve of the 5 year anniversary of the powerful, destructive 2011 earthquake that upended the lives of so many. Seemingly unending delays in resolving insurance claims with the government's quake commission are a symptom of not only a broken system, but also an underlying ideology that gives little value to human suffering when compared with dollar driven agendas. Feb 17In
a broader context of widespread cuts across the heath sector in New Zealand, including
mental health support, hundreds of Christchurch children have been
assessed as suffering from post traumatic stress disorder in respect of
the ongoing earthquakes since September 2010 but only 8% have received
counselling. A university study of a sample of 320 children tracked
since 2013 showed 64% had negative mental health indicators -report
The 16th highest quake, a M5.75 occurred in February 2016, just days ago, on the 14th.
The right wing NZ government under John Key has overseen the harshest treatment of any community, perhaps in NZ history. Ranging from major problems for people facing loss or damage of their home and property - and their entitlement to fair compensation, to the way in which personal mental and psychological trauma has been catered for.
Many still have outstanding property claims unresolved. report
government funding for counselling and related services in the region has been decimated since 2015 -despite increases in suicide callouts and children with trauma related behaviours.
The Ministry of Social Development response infull facsimile is available Multiple news items re the Feb 16 2016 quake have spoken of the psychological impact, even in the face of limited degrees of damage to assets.The government agenda places no value on human life. It is nonsensical to expect people with major trauma to be healed as quickly as broken bones.They are broken people and may need life long support.
This arises despite years of lengthy waiting lists, significant patient disastisfaction levels, declining levels of care, as well as over-stretched staff.Even in the land once referred to as Godzone, brutal austerity is now well entrenched.
Malcolm Justice on Twitter Feb16 2016
Brutalism is a term commonly applied to a stark architectural style but a sector of humanity was not satisfied with their widespread imposition of dehumanising structures to service commercial, civic as well as domestic needs. The dysfunctional ethos of brutalism is clearly widespread in the management of national economies across the globe.
What was once simply austerity has morphed into brutal austerity in the global context and brutalist economics have a lot in common with brutalist architecture. The tower block accommodation for low income renters has not a shred of humanity infused into its style or construction.
UK, Europe are known for brutalist housing
Brutal
austerity has led to public dissent in nations including Greece,
Germany, Spain, Italy, Sweden, Ireland the United Kingdom, the US,
Canada, Australia, New Zealand....as well as many more unlisted here Not
surprising then, that global humanitarian organisation OXFAM,
whose motto is the power of people against poverty, issued a 2013
briefing paper entitled A
CAUTIONARY TALE The
true cost of austerity and inequality in Europe. Take the time to hear the counter argument to brutal austerity: the humane, humanitarian, compassionate view This
organisation is unafraid of placing political challenges to those
wielding economic power. If
it were only Europe...but it is not...and before Europe was another
failed austerity experiment: Latin America...and before that....yes
this disease has deep roots. Quoting Joseph Stiglitz: Greece could be blamed for its troubles if it were the only country where the troika’s [the IMF, European Commission,& the European Central Bank] medicine failed miserably. But Spain had a surplus and a low debt ratio before the crisis, and it, too, is in depression. What is needed is not structural reform within Greece and Spain so much as structural reform of the eurozone’s design and a fundamental rethinking of the policy frameworks that have resulted in the monetary union’s spectacularly bad performance.
and Seldom
do democratic elections give as clear a message as that in Greece. If
Europe says no to Greek voters’ demand for a change of course, it
is saying that democracy is of no importance, at least when it comes
to economics. Why not just shut down democracy, as Newfoundland
effectively did when it entered into receivership before World War
II? One
hopes that those who understand the economics of debt and austerity,
and who believe in democracy and humane values, will prevail. Whether
they will remains to be seen.
No
surprises then when austerity can be proposed as a defective and
dysfunctional systemic approach, that market contagion also
references disease. The disease rests in the human mind and in particular in the beliefs of those who erroneously believe they can disconnect themselves from their natural condition: we are all collectively embedded in an energetic feedback loop, inseparable from each other's discomfort and suffering. In the bigger picture, the human collective is a super-organism and the Land of the Broken Foot is equally sensed in the super-organism's consciousness as the Blinded Eye-Lands and the eruptions of Mount Appendix.
But
this is an astrology blog so it is useful to look at past, present
and future indicators that cycles related to the planets can
deliver.
No single factor determines particular cycles, but certain factors can be seen to recur. Cycles are based on energy -and various permutations can deliver equivalent forces.
Saturn is the planet and Capricorn is the zodiac sign relating to austerity. When combined -Saturn in Capricorn - the positive conservative, cautious energy balance can tip into severe restraint, failed practices and policies. Jupiter
is the planet and Sagittarius is
the sign related to prosperity and growth. When combined the energy balance can tip into excess, over-production. When Saturn is in Sagittarius or Jupiter is in Capricorn we potentially have a mismatch if these contra-forces are not well balanced eg under-growth or over-growth.
When each planet is in its own sign it has free reign to be a peak positive expression -unless another planet is in conflict or contradiction at that time, altering the energy balance.
When Saturn is in conflict - at a stress angle like 45, 90 or 180 degrees in respect of Jupiter -then growth is curtailed, over-supply is a problem.
Jupiter when in Cancer is likely to inflate housing values.
New
Zealand experienced a property boom starting
2001 when Jupiter was in
Cancer. The 12 year cycle
returned in 2013 and house prices rose
by 9.8%
The momentum from 2001 lasted till 2008 in New Zealand but housing values did not rise significantly until the return of Jupiter to Cancer in 2013.
Pluto
is transformative energy. Conditions can change fundamentally and extremely. Pluto in
Sagittarius [1995-2008]has an influence on growth. Pluto in Capricorn [2008-2024] has
an influence re austerity
So what can be shown from the past
is that: Jupiter in Capricorn1925-1926US boom years Saturn
in Sagittarius Dec 1926-Dec 1929-decline led into Great Depression
Saturn in CapricornDec 1929-Nov 1932 - events created worst years of Great Depression Saturn in SagittariusNov 1985-Nov
1988 - period re the 1987 market crash Saturn in CapricornNov
1988-Feb 1991worsening effects from '87 Saturn at 90 degrees to
JupiterDec 2005flaws that led into 2007 GFC
Jupiter in
SagittariusNov 2006-Dec 2007 -excesses leading to GFC
Jupiter
in CapricornDec 2007-Jan 2009-excesses curtailed.
The omens were bad when Pluto and the Sun conjuncted in Sagittarius as Jupiter entered Capricorn on Dec 18 2007.
Saturn again in Sagittarius from Sept 2015-Dec 2017 is likely again to signify issues related to excess and imbalance as in past cycles [1920's, 1980's] Saturn
in CapricornDec 2017-Dec 2020 has the
potential to run to extremes
before any relief from
the potential psychopathic brutality of Saturn
combining with Pluto [yes, real psychopaths have this pattern]
2019 is a year to watch in this regard in the build up to the exact Sun-Saturn-Pluto in Capricorn conjunction [22 degrees] of January 13 2020. At the same time, Mercury is very close at 24 Capricorn; Jupiter will also be in Capricorn then, but at 9 degrees -not close enough to the other 3. This momentous month January 2020 could see a
socio-economic transformational point that signif
ies the emergence
over time of restructured governments and governance, reforms in
housing policies, business practices, taxation, and a new
consciousness re how governments are essentially elected to nurture,
guide and mentor citizens towards their capacity for positive
collective contributions.
Instead governments have styled themselves as primarily a source of power and control and as a corporate business. This is not their critical role. This is a distortion based on human inadequacy. It may be too much to expect an enlightened leap within the space of a mere 5 years. If extreme imbalances as evident in 2015 like in recent prior years, regarding all manner of inequality and injustices affecting fundamental human dignity, show no definitive practical signs of being corrected by 2020, we face a grim, dystopic era of greater dissent and adversity, and by sheer force of numbers, greater collective inhumanity, all magnified by globalization, than ever in our history.
Supermoons appear larger - compared to average on left
May 2012 has some very strong patterns involving both solar-lunar factors [extreme lunar perigee Supermoon May 6; solar eclipse May 20] and the building forces involving new wordly expressions of the Aries and Capricorn archetypes - courtesy of Uranus and Pluto in a tightening standoff.
The first factor - Full Moon in Scorpio affects 16 degrees of the fixed signs Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, Aquarius in particular, bringing death, transformation - and oftern sexual issues - into the spotlight and Pluto's current phase in Capricorn has an extra emphasis - older people; institutions, politics, people in power & authority in general are challenged to address their use of power & authority - since we know many woes in the world derive from improper use of power, abuse and subsequent mistreatment of fellow beings.
update: on May 6 in New Zealand a 19 month old child, was killed when a kitchen stove tipped onto him. Several elements of this tragedy reflect energies of the Full Moon pattern: death (Scorpio) child (Leo) electric stove ( Aquarius-Taurus). The resulting grief and loss described by Saturn in Libra opposite Mercury in Aries - details in later section
Death energy can be literal or symbolic with Scorpio - if symbolic, it refers to significant changes on very deep levels that allow an individual to emerge transformed, perhaps enlightened and resolved to behave differently in the world. The most comprehensive resolution of the imperatives involved - the pressure is intense - is to engage the heart (Leo) plus the sense of collective good via social justice (Aquarius), to use power (Scorpio) in a way that is earthed to a stable centre (Taurus). This inner sense of empowerment then obliterates the ego and domination drives of Leo as well as the destructive urges of Scorpio, the acquisitive greed of Taurus and the anarchic rage of Aquarius.
Of course the ideal outcome will only be accessed by some, so the themes just noted re the wounded band of fixed signs will arise in this lunar phase. All four fixed signs can be extreme and dramatic so this is the stuff of news to be expected during May. Taurus also relates to our attachment to money & materialism. Money plus power at odds with heart-centred humanitarians suggests more showdowns of the type related to the 99% vs the 1%, so more intense protests are guaranteed.
These issues of course only serve to highten the Pluto-Uranus transformational phase which is reforming the nature of powerful people and the institutions they control. Many have and will continue to fall from grace, deposed, incarcerated, some self destructing along the roadside as the unstoppable momentum eventually brings radical change in the several years time frame of which this period is just the "spring". Mars is in very tight connection to Uranus thereby energizing the Pluto-Uranus potentials with the downside of angy, militaristic & generally aggressive impulses merging with the power duo. Accidents and violence also cluster around this sort of profile. Saturn and Mercury are in very tight opposition at the full moon in the territories of Aries and Libra - self and others are in the balance and the source of much discussion, discord over sorting out priorities, responsibilities in these aspects of our lives. Communications breakdown/blockage/lockdown/jamming is strongly indicated both between individuals, technologies and systems.
This UK chart [link below] for the full moon gives 0 Aries rising - adding extra strain on a tightly linked chart so promising action, lots of high profile outcomes manfesting for the energy. (US astrologer Jude Cowell gives 0 Capricorn rising over Washington offering another strong link to the full moon energies) Of significance too, in May are the days around 10-13th right to the next solar-lunar event -the eclipse on the 20th because several planets at 23-24 degrees in that time frame link to planets at 8 degrees. The 23 position is important because of its relationship to the meeting point of Uranus and Pluto -then at 7 & 9 degrees, so 8 is their synergy point ready to be triggered in the middle weeks of May.
Watch and see what powerful upheavals occur that signify the Uranus-Pluto transformation is well and truly underway. update: on the social level the weekend of May 12-13 activists gathered across the globe [ includingAthens, Moscow, New York, Chicago, Frankfurt, Barcelona and Madrid] in the spirit of the Occupy movement and in Spain, Los Indignados[indignant] - these events have a powerful and enduring significance for our future, but this is only the early stage of manifestation BBC report Chicago report Frankfurt report Occupy London website In summary: intense, turbulent and dramatic forces prevail during May, affecting the energetic realms of people & nature. Aside from the intense human forces associated with protest and the system's response, there has been at least 12 M5+ quakes in the period May 10-13 as well as a volcanic eruption in Mexico
Regarding the May solar eclipse on the 20th, Marcus Mason makes some very interesting points. His commentary on the effect of this solar eclipse crossing the male or yang energy channel of the earth grid clearly represents the Uranus in Aries balance in the equation with Pluto. Mason says that this eclipse sees old patriarchal energies (Pluto in Capricorn)being reformed into new male archetypes (Uranus in Aries). Fascinating!. Cannot wait.
update May 17:
This eclipse emphasises 0 degrees Gemini & all the mutable sign quartet = Gemini, Sagittarius, Pisces, Virgo) -reinforced by Neptune in Pisces, Mars in Virgo, Venus in Gemini and the lunar nodes in Sagittarius-Gemini. This makes for a big emphasis on all matters of those four signs. Gemini & Sag. are both about information, messaging and transport systems. Gemini is localised, Sag is long distance. Communication, transfer/transport of people and information, messaging, publishing - this all indicates lots of energetic movement in these domains. One hi profile example may be a significant event leading to lots of words being dispatched via text, email, blogs, tweets, phones etc. (Hectic morning. want to add here: at the eclipse, Mercury & Jupiter join closely in Taurus, linked to Venus in Gemini & Saturn in Libra = money/economic issues are the subject of the abundant discussions. Saturn's position in respect of Mercury is very important - bringing a serious need for balancing/austerity - in counterforce to Jupiter's stimulus & spend ethic. This polar opposite philisophy of economics will dominate news. Saturn may in general cause data/systems outages as well due to the effect on channels of communication.
Planets in the cardinal signs ( Cancer, Capricorn, Libra, Aries) are the next dominant group with Pluto in Capricorn, Uranus in Aries, Saturn in Libra, Mercury in Aries. These are the current positions, excepting Mercury, which are the bedrock of radical change about to unfold on the global stage. By restructuring, rebalancing, new conditions, the recipe the power planets are synergising for this purpose is coming into manifestation before our eyes. This is both social-political-economic and environmental. Cardinal signs are the seasonal markers of the solstices and equinoxes and thus collectively the power of a "climate change" affecting all aspects of our lives is on offer.
In addition, this powerful eclipse links planets at 23-25 degrees ( Saturn, Jupiter, Mercury) to the strengthening force of Pluto-Uranus, makinga profound state of change the theme of this eclipse. Politics, governance, economics, social conditions are all ready for a new, better functioning system, addressing imbalances & disempowerment.
With Jupiter and Mercury both in the sign of money, commodities, materialism in general - namely, Taurus - these planets together carry the themes of both lunar nodes - the north node now in Jupiter's sign Sagittarius - and the south node in Mercury's sign, Gemini - a double emphasis on the collective [ i.e. global "we're all in this"] importance of Taurus materialism being subjected to the restraining influence of Saturn as referred to above.
Eclipse phases have a period of influence from the developing period even a week prior to exactitude, and through to the next eclipse event.
update May 21 2012
Many consider that strong solar-lunar events have an influence over earth's physical structure - and weather - especially if other planets are geometrically aligned by very close or exact angles to a new, full or eclipse position. A flurry of strong quakes has occurred across the globe around this eclipse event [the most damaging being in northern Italy, M6, May 20, with aftershocks as well, damaging structures, leaving thousands homeless; some fatalities] and in NZ the seismically sensitive Canterbury region has had the strongest activity since January 2012 - report. update May 22 2012 UT The problem-ridden Facebook IPO (initial public offering) float on May 18 2012 has occurred within the May solar eclipse window and the influences detailed above relating to the restraining influence of Saturn over commodities.
Subsequent reports refer to "over-valued FB stock", "class action suit over Nasdaq glitches", worst in 5 years", "disastrous float", "investors kept in dark" These are the hallmarks of Saturn running the show Glitches Stock Dives SEC to investigate FB
I'm not a market specialist but nervous investors could consider a hands-off approach is the safer bet, with eclipses having a potential long phase effect of 6 months or more depending on re-activating triggers.
During the six year period 2011-2016 we will experience perhaps the greatest period of global social, political, economic and environmental transformation known on our planet.
2012 marks a significant phase in this unfoldment which extends over several years. It is the sheer depth and breadth of change awaiting us that makes this era unprecedented.
Long-term tectonic-type readjustment (which is also replicated geophysically via plate movement & seismicity) of social, cultural and political practices is assisted by technological networking on a scale never before possible in a phase of revolutionary momentum.
Now global awareness is set to increase exponentially regarding our planetary relationship within the larger systemic network - habitually dominated by our mega-star, the sun, but also home to a gargantuan cosmic environment. For the purpose of this explanation, two factors operating in the geo-effective space environment set the scene for massive transformations in the given 6 year period of their tight alignment.
In the cosmic web earth sits amongst, magnetic field lines distribute resonances across vast distances of space. The energetic forces generated by Pluto and Uranusare known to have profound, long lasting and transformational effects.
Their current dynamic phase involving a tension-generating 90 degree alignment indicates that the creation of global change will be full of challenges, discord, upheaval, resistance versus repression - as two world views, the old versus the new - stand off against each other, in a replication of evolution seen countless times before on the face of the earth as well as within it.
The greatest emphasis, for those with personal birth chart data, ranges in the band from 4 to 18 degrees and is expressed through the energetic profiles of four signs:
ARIES LIBRA, CANCER, CAPRICORN
These are called the Cardinal group and significantly, they correspond astronomically to the four seasonal markers at the solstice and equinox points in March, July, September and December - created for us on earth by the relative position of the earth in orbit around the Sun. A simplified view, not to scale, illustrates this.
click to enlarge
In addition the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn shown on globes and in atlas maps indicate the band astride the earth's equator where the sun moon and planets have their astronomical passages in respect of our planet. Put simply, this points to the importance of this group of four signs in the structure of earth's relationship to the rest of the cosmos.
NASA and other scientists are already anticipating a long term cooling effect on earth due to an exceptional solar minimum unfolding in coming years, so the profound issues are not limited to human society. A summary of the wide-ranging shifts we face signifiantly in this 6 year period would have to include the following, based on the signatures of the four cardinal indicators:
The fundamentals of human society and how it is structured and administered, from all levels of government, to business and the bedrock level of the family unit.
Personal and business relationships - the nature of marriage, parnerships
The role of the individual in the context of the whole
Parenting issues
Matters relating to homes, housing and habitats
Work-life balance
Personal careers, public life versus private life
Ambition versus nurturing
The economy, financial manmagement, budgeting, personal and public spending
Environmental issues ranging from resources & pollution to seismicity, volcanism, weather & climate
The state of change affecting our larger home, planet earth June 2012 sees the first exact point of connection between Pluto at 8.24 degrees Capricorn and Uranus at 8.24 degrees Aries, but the winds of change are already in progress. Those born on or closely around March 28, June 29, Sept 30, Dec 30, any year have this pattern applying extreme pressure since at least the start of 2012 ( in terms of their birth sun position.) Individual analysis will show any other planets under the gamma-rays of this duo. (It barely needs to be stated that the Arab Spring, events in Syria
and Greece represent just the starting point of this long-term
Pluto-Uranus process)
A new start is neded for humanity which is intrinsically connected to evolutionary change affecting our planet. Significantly historic times are not just what you study in school. Some of us get to live through them and this era ranks very highly in terms of living on a planet in change in a dynamic universe. Update May 14 2012
With the May 12-13 weekend marking a resurgence in global Occupy protests about
system failure (you probably heard very little via mainstream media) be
assured that this point in time is very powerful in terms of setting the
future agenda for change ...that will topple leaders and their corrupt regimes across the world during the next 4 years in particular.

undergoing a clear correction. Read more on my continually updated blog,
