100 Years of SATURN NEPTUNE and CHIRON

 SATURN NEPTUNE AND CHIRON

Tracking the pattern of the last century 1920s-2020s

Firstly a clarification re key concepts

Saturn is the key planet defining and structuring the world of form -the 3-dimensional reality we function in. The world we are born into and where we live briefly as we navigate all sorts of challenges intended to enrich our essence.

What we learn and refine in the Saturnian world is the gift we feed back into the Neptunian world

The contrast between the two worlds is like that between night and day 

The Neptunian world has no concept of isolation or separation and none of the negative traits that emerge in the form world. In the formless dimension waveforms weave an immense energetic tapestry based on consciousness alone.

Saturn and Neptune when experienced on our planet - like other planetary pairs have a purposeful cycle and a large part of that purpose is to merge the consciousness of the formless world with the way we function in the form world.

All authentic spiritual teachers have this as their purpose because humans are more truly a spiritual essence than a biological being.

It is very clear that the reality of who we are can be rapidly buried and forgotten once the terrestrial mind overrides universal consciousness.

The necessity is to reawaken and function on the basis of our underlying consciousness - but as the record stands -a collective recall can take  more than two thousand years and periods of significant regression are cyclic.

Chiron

Just like Saturn and Neptune -everyone has the Chiron factor in their birth chart. The degree to which Chiron has life-long detrimental effects depends on how integrated it is with other factors in the birth chart - how many connections are made how challenging those connections are and how much healing is achieved.

The asteroid Chiron on a psychological level points to significant  painful harmful or traumatising early life experiences that mould our personality and behaviour. Experiences such as abandonment adoption violence abuse deprivation hunger feeling unseen ignored unloved - often the byproducts of inadequate parenting  - imprinted upon the personality in childhood have major consequences in how a person self expresses: some are crushed limited defeated and some follow an over-compensation route to mask their pain. 

All sorts of addictive or escapist behaviours

 are commonplace when this world is found

 to be dangerous or traumatising

Tracking the Saturn Neptune Chiron pattern of the last century 1920s-2020s

February 2026 was a Saturn-Neptune conjunction at 0º Aries

A Saturn-Neptune cycle begins every 35-37 years. 

Previously 1989 1952 1917

Paired planets follow phases just like the Sun-Moon cycle - the main angles being 0º 90º 180º as in New Moon first Quarter Full Moon Last Quarter - but in-between angles are also capable of activating effects

What is clear looking at the…

1926 Saturn square Neptune

1975-1977 Saturn sesqui Neptune Saturn trine Neptune

2026 Saturn conjunction Neptune

…is that over the past century observed

Chiron in Taurus has consistently followed the Saturn-Neptune angular connection 

-as if these 2 patterns are in lockstep

Chiron returns to Taurus every 50 years - 

= 1926 1976 2026 and expected to return in 2076.

Effects of Saturn Neptune and Chiron influences converging

May 1926 Chiron in Taurus extended to March 1934

May 1976 Chiron in Taurus extended to April 1984

June 2026 Chiron in Taurus extends to May 2034

Something’s very matchy here about our relationship 

with the material physical financial world

 and how secure we feel

The stockmarket crash of 1929 saw the onset of the Great Depression extending into the 1930s

1974-75 1980-82 peak years of global recessions in that period  

The late 2020s are by 2026 signalling echoes

 of past cycles

Now the combined effects of the 3 factors can be seen to involve a mismatch between the Saturnian form-world we have created and our blissful Neptunian essence = who we are spiritually - and the downward spiral that is activated when that conflict of values reaches a tipping point.

Chiron in Taurus on repeat every 50 years [even while Saturn and Neptune cycles start in various different signs -last 4 being Leo Libra Capricorn Aries does point to Cardinal sign dominance in the last 3 and the big lesson of Cardinal since 1952 = Fix the Imbalances =  in all aspects of life ] 

As written before -a mix of Fixed sign [such as Taurus] and Cardinal sign [Aries cycle of Saturn-Neptune]  energies highlights deep-seated survivalist and existential panic. No surprise that war and regional conflicts emerge under the combined Fixed-Cardinal themes.

Chiron in Taurus points not only to physical-bodily vulnerabilities = feeling wounded wrecked or disabled in response to the psychological pressures of poverty poor nutrition hunger - but also underlying feelings of insecurity instability lack of comfort -merging with feeling unworthy - not valued enough to be looked after in this world - and triggered by loss of income unemployment being laid off due to closures

These experiences will have afflicted many in the Great Depression era as well as in recessionary and high inflation recessions flowing from the 1970s into the 1980s

Many face such experiences during the 2026-2034 Chiron in Taurus cycle [ even though Chiron at times will dip back into Aries again and enter Gemini briefly before Taurus is completed] see detailed tables here

The purpose is not punishment -no matter how punishing it can be felt. The intention is to collectively learn how to live differently in this world and in relationship with this planet and with each other in ways that restore balance take more care avoid abuse and exploitation turn away from excess and greed. 

A huge shift in values is needed: living the high life no longer an appropriate role but living the good life being top priority.

The message serving as a guiding light is:

The losses are offset by gains

Look for the gains

SOLAR ECLIPSE IN TAURUS APRIL 29 2014

MONEY POSSESSIONS SECURITY

These are the key energies and expressions

 linked to the sign TAURUS

In the six month time frame until the October solar eclipse in Scorpio, the state of people's physical and material security will be emphasised -and important red alerts are involved

This solar eclipse operates in the same time frame of the April 15 total lunar eclipse [a Full Moon with Sun in Aries, Moon in Libra] and so many of the activations explained in that analysis remain emphasised by this solar event [ a New Moon, with both Sun and Moon in Taurus]

Both of the energies related to money - Libra and Taurus therefore remain strongly emphasised but the forecast involves warnings.
On a bodily level Taurus is the energy of food, the substances we consume for energy. But how much do we need?

Read first the full April 15 report

Important sections from that forecast include:

Each of us has to assess where we are investing too much and where we are investing too little in our capacity for relating.
Libra also has a connection to economics and finance so the issue of imbalances in the global economy must also be highlighted in this eclipse time-frame as well as in respect to the separate state of the books run by the government and individual personal and family budgets. 
The global financial crisis is far from being a distant memory. It lingers on in many places and in many lives.
This is still a period of high risk in terms of financial returns.

In financial matters the risk is deals that fail to pay off, or scams and schemes that are increasingly preying on the unwary.
More caution than usual is advised under these deceiving influences regarding people and money.

Earth itself being a tiny fragment of the massive solar system, experiences the strain of the energy tensions of strong planetary alignments - as we are experiencing continually 2011-2016 and so extreme events have become almost daily news in this extended time frame.In New Zealand, Christchurch is a real life social laboratory revealing what happens to a place and its people when the lives of the majority are significantly usurped and turned upside down by extreme natural forces. But this is just one example across the world. For some it is flooding, or fire, or landslides. 
Political eruptions and war affect even more of the world's population


The April 29 Solar Eclipse forecast

The cardinal cross remains strongly in effect with Mars and Uranus in opposition and Jupiter and Pluto in opposition -each planet being also at right angles to the other pair.

Essentially this is how these planets are presently positioned in the solar system 

Historical evidence shows that very dynamic forces are activated when four planets are arranged in this cross arrangement, with the current four being arguably the most potent combination in the catalogue of solar system forces.

Pluto and Uranus have been at right angles since 2011 and remain in effect till 2016.

The present addition of Mars and Jupiter amplifies the extent of pressure affecting all species and our environment regarding evolutionary change -whether that is change by transformation, destruction or regeneration

The cardinal cross effect is primarily involved in the restoration of BALANCE

This affects how we relate to ourselves, others, other species, our resources, our environment = everything

Imbalances in any system whether that is biological or environmental/atmospheric cause malfunctions, disease, disturbance.
With the association of Taurus with food -asking questions about our level of consumption is relevant -is it too little or too much?

Persistent extreme weather events and major climate change, are indicators of imbalance in the natural environment and atmosphere.

Stress, disease, violence, degenerate behaviour are all signs of imbalance in the individual and societal systems.

The process of rebalancing is often enforced by outer events: ask the people of Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina, ask the people of Christchurch NZ after their earthquakes, ask the people of Sendai Japan after the tsunami. Once your world is turned upside down or annihilated, your balance is lost and must be refound.

This eclipse has a big sign reading BIG LOSSES
More tragic events involving water, literally as an element of change. 
The sea and severe rainfall are the most likely scenarios.

Extreme natural forces out of balance frequently express as wind -including hurricane and tornado events. The building phase of this April eclipse saw a trail of tornado-generated destruction across Arkansas and other central southern states. The more than 50 separate tornadoes documented, the half-mile-wide twister near Little Rock and winds up to 150mph [240kph]make these events a significant manifestation of the extreme stress of cardinal cross energies.
In real terms, like lightning earthed to a ground point, the full force of solar system derived planetary energies in extreme combination are funneled into earth's atmosphere and earthed with resulting destruction.

For many, water will also dissolve and dematerialize money, possessions and security.
This can occur through water damage ruining possessions and affecting financial status
But will also occur through the Neptunian arts of theft, fraud, deceit: many will be the victims of loss of money through devious exploitation.
The warning is to personally avoid fraudulent or dishonest practices under these influences -and to avoid people of that character - as any tricky schemes are likely to backfire

The energy of drugs, alcohol, addictive substances and addictive-compulsive behaviours are also associated with these warnings.
People's material and financial wellbeing and security are extra prone to being undermined by conduct related to substance abuse or addictive behaviour.
Aside from the drain from drug addiction or alcoholism on a person's bank balance, this is also most commonly expressed in big losses as a result of gambling -whether that is in casinos or in investments or sharemarket trading -or supposed get-rich-quick schemes.

Food addictions are also on the agenda for consideration. Too much of anything, even water, can kill.

Whatever your vices, now is not the time to let them get way out of control. The failure to show restraint will not be a pretty picture on account of the extreme annihilating forces in effect.

This forecast is written at a time when New Zealand battles with the ravages of synthetic cannabinoids aka legal highs. 

The present National government failed to protect the society of NZ, in particular vulnerable youth and imbalanced adults, from the toxic cocktails contained in these chemical formulae.

Large numbers of mentally disturbed users have flooded emergency clinics and local communities have launched vocal protests in response.

Despite saying a ban was impossible, the government announced on April 27, in the context of political pressure from the Labour Party, that within 2 weeks the products would be banned rom sale until proven low risk.

The risk of blackmarket activity and stockpiling is evident -along with a surge in withdrawal crises overloading medical services.

This issue of the effect of an addictive substance in radically altering the mind and body is very relevant in the time frame of this eclipse. - news report

People born on or close to the eclipse date April 29 are strongly affected, along with those having significant planets close to 9 Taurus.
The cardinal cross affects all planets at 12-15 degrees especially if in Aries, Libra, Cancer or Capricorn.
Well-known people born April 29 include Michelle Pfeiffer, Daniel Day-Lewis, Uma Thurman, Jerry Seinfeld, Andre Agassi.

2014: what to expect on planet Earth

This forecast analysis was written on January 6 2014

Updates from relevant news events have been inserted.

In 2014 a grand domino effect can be identified as one strong pattern of activating energy trips the next in a long sequence with August looking likely to hog a lot of the drama.

On the level of human life and society we continue in 2014 to undergo massive pressure to change, to redress our imbalances affecting social existence, economies, political management, financial infrastructure.

The natural world is synchronistically expressing its deficits and excesses. The process proceeds with more turbulence on offer.

2013 was noted as a tough year by many and the natural expectation is that fate, destiny karma has something of a regular alternating flow, that good and easy naturally follows tough.
Hang in there folks because the rough ride is far from over
My post dated October 2013 also forecast significant environmental extremes for 2014

                 How it looks from Space 2014

Part One
This month-by-month summary of some standout space events identified through astro-analysis covers the period January-August 2014 inclusive in terms of effects experienced on Earth in diverse locations.
AUGUST is really the month to watch - but before then, several periods show extreme signatures
Note that quoted dates are a guide to a period of effect that builds some 3 days prior & can remain in an active phase for 3 days after. 
In addition the exact mathematical position of the New, Full or eclipse event can be retriggered by subsequent occupation of that position by a different planet
eg April 15 2014 total lunar eclipse at 25 Libra will be retriggered on July 16-17 2014 by Mars 25 Libra -with related effects.
January
Extreme weather particularly in the northern Hemisphere at the beginning of the month shows what effects a Supermoon in closer than normal proximity to Earth can do to natural forces on the planet
Days surrounding end of month -  30th - New Moon have strong activation signatures associated with severe to extreme weather events; earth crustal strain = seismic, volcanic risks enhanced.
This energy extends into early February
[New Moon position = Galactic Centre activation at semisquare angle; Jupiter opposite Pluto.] 

February
See End of January effects as February begins
Watch & note any strong weather developments on 8th-9th as they have a later relevance
Last week of February merging into March is another period to observe strong-severe indicators
[New Moon; Venus-Mars-lunar nodes in synergy ;Jupiter square Uranus]
March
March 1 New Moon period opens the month with energy begun end of February being sustained.
Influences remain strong till Full Moon and energised beyond this period
In the news March 4-5:
Christchurch NZ suffers extreme flooding event after gale force battering 

March 16 Full Moon: significant extreme weather indicators extend through month

[New Moon, Full Moon Galactic Centre activation; Jupiter square Uranus]

In the News March 14:

On March 15 2014 New Zealand anticipates being subjected to the extreme forces of tropical cyclone Lusi.
Earlier in the week:3 fatalities in Pacific island Vanuatu from cyclone affecting large numbers in the western south Pacific region

March 30 New Moon Sun-Moon-Jupiter-Uranus-Pluto all in synergy with extreme tensions - Sun joins Moon & Uranus with this trio at 90 degree angle to Pluto and to Jupiter - which are in opposition. A recipe for imbalanced natural forces causing mayhem

[news update March 31 - quake energy elevated in the US and New Zealand

Above 2 views -the NZ seismic network plus the localised readings for initial M5.1.

If this energy is extended it will reflect the forecast for early April.Note powerful solar events -X-flares & other magnetic disturbances impacting earth can be identified just prior to elevated seismicity. An X flare occurred March 29 at 17.52 UT

April
The influences from late March flow over into early April with the Sun-Uranus, Jupiter-Pluto pairings maintaining their rampage
[Sun is conjunct Uranus with both at right angles to the Jupiter-Pluto opposition]
The warning of "unbalanced natural forces causing mayhem" resumes strong effects through this month
[update 1. April 1 Chile experiences M8.2 quake and tsunami at 18.46 local time offshore from Iquique. An extreme seismic event is consistent with the forecasted mega-forces prevailing
update 2 April 3 Panama experiences M6 quake

USGS

update 3: April 4 Solomon Islands under severe flash flooding
Thousands left homeless]

April 15 -the first eclipse of 2014 is a full moon total lunar associated with Uranus-Mercury, Jupiter-Pluto pairings sustaining the potent unbalanced atmospheric and stress forces swirling around Earth.
Strong effects including extreme weather and seismic events are regularly noted around full moons, eclipses - especially when other planetary alignments link mathematically to the sun-moon pairing.
Mainstream science only looks at separate details & fails to see the solar system as constantly integrated, inseparable with feedback between all elements ongoing
updates
In the days building to the eclipse: [when events often occur]
April 12: Queensland, Australia spared full effects of category 5 Cyclone Ita but wind & rainfall were strong
April 13 Solomon Islands, Papua region & Iquique,Chile very seismically active as seen in this list of recent high magnitude quakes

Update: April 13 Chile wildfire is indicative of the fire potentials of Uranus in Aries under stress from Pluto and Jupiter

update: April 17-18 -New Zealand feels the strong force of ex-Tropical Cyclone Ita coming from the North, bringing gale force winds and driving rain causing flash flooding- North Is report South Island report
update April 20
The number of high magnitude quakes [M6+]  in the past week is worth noting

Update
Extreme Easter storms in New Zealand -Canterbury  West Coast
Piers Corbyn of Weather Action points out the synchronicity [and relevance] of the M7.3 solar flare on April 18. with subsequent geomagnetic effects on April 20 [known to have significant weather effects]

From April 21 & over several days now Mars-Jupiter-Uranus-Pluto form a Cardinal Cross = all four planets linked in connected signs -and at one point joined by the Moon - all tightly bound in the 13-14 degree range. Political,economic & social crises are potentials along with the disturbances in natural forces
Pluto-Uranus reach their 5th exact 90 degree square [since 2012] and are associated with major upheaval & transformational even revolutionary changes.

News updates
April 21 ethnic massacre in South Sudan
April 22 Violent protests in Rio

April 25 solar X flare [X 1.3] - (strong flare events on the sun have an impact on the earth environment)
April 27: severe storm events & extreme rainfall reported in diverse locations [ US tornado storm in Arkansas & southern-central US; storm in northern Bangldesh; extreme rainfall southern New Zealand


May 2014
Flow on effects especially from Pluto-Uranus are likely to be evident in May

June 2014
Mars further stirs up the Pluto-Uranus effects and Jupiter is exact square on the lunar nodal axis in the last week of June: expect extreme events

[update June 24: high intensity seismic activity commences]

July and August promise to raise the intensity stakes even higher both environmentally & in human affairs

July 2014
Extreme forces under tension prevail throughout July and into August.
This influence is strong around the July 12 Full Moon & extends days later to a Sun-Jupiter alignment mixed with Mars and the lunar nodes
In the last week of July: Neptune links to the lunar nodes aggravating the issue of water balance/imbalance = too much vs too little
[Saturn-Uranus; Full Moon; Sun-Jupiter-Mars-Nodes; Neptune-Nodes

update July 23
July has become the horror month of 2014 with the mass deaths associated with the downing of flight MH17 and with Israel's assault on Gaza -read extra analysis & extended account here

update July 29

Sussex, Essex, London all affected by freak weather with torrential rain, flash flooding. More than half the average total rain for England in July fell in an hour in some areas, the Met Office said.   Reported 28 July by BBC

Supermoon August 2014

A sector of the solar system showing the layout relating to August's Supermoon. Astrological components are noted after this general rather grim forecast:

August is a life-changing month for many in 2014 and for a significant number that means literally death -transcending physical existence for the metaphysical.
The prevailing combination of energies are a significant death indicator -  likely on mass scales; high drama, death by fire, in military contexts and at the hands of violent individuals - or at the very least major transformations affecting particular people and places.
[Due to individual differences identified in personal profiles -always there are some primarily & directly affected; others have secondary or tertiary effects. It is all about degrees of separation.
As an example: the person who is violently assaulted has the primary effect; the person who assists them in their injured state gets the secondary effect; the person who watches or reads the news coverage gets the tertiary effect.]

Sun in Leo is a heart energy and connects to children, creativity, love. Difficult and life threatening energies are affecting those matters. 
A spike in coronary health crises is likely. 
Broken hearts due to love gone cold. 
Grief from death of a loved one. 
Children are extra vulnerable. 
Artists facing creative blocks. 
Arson and destruction by fire and other forms of aggressively destructive conduct.
Uncontrolled ego and narcissism underlie much of the extreme and survivalist behaviour generated under this Supermoon's effects.
Possession and control via annihilation.
[with scores of children already killed in Gaza during July under the military attacks from Israel, it is very concerning that this location could continue to "earth" the destructive force of the Supermoon pattern which will begin to be activated by pre-triggers from early August -well in advance of the exactitude on August 10]

There are also many extreme weather indicators associated with this Supermoon so relevant environmental hazards in your location need to be anticipated.

Where is the individual in all this?
Each of us is affected by the significant period of social, economic,political,environmental disruption we are experiencing 2012-2016 -it is simply a matter of degrees of intensity across different people in different places.
The process is about rebalancing energies and each of us is pressured in some way to address this question: where in my life do I need to make changes in order to live my life more harmoniously with others and with the natural world?

The Astrology of August 2014 Supermoon

The folowing factors underlie the analysis given in the above section for general readers.

Sun,Mercury, Earth & Moon form a tight alignment on August 10-11 with Saturn at a right angle to this collection plus Mars forms a right angle to Jupiter

[ Degree positions at exact Full Moon = Sun-Moon 18 Leo-Aquarius; Mercury 20 Leo; Saturn 17 Scorpio; Earth 18 Aquarius; Mars 8 Scorpio; Jupiter 5 Leo.

The fixed signs [Leo-Aqaurius-Scorpio] being very dominant give a strong survivalist theme and prevalent extremism 

The Neptune issues of water imbalance continue into August & feature in the Full Moon pattern of August 10

This is no ordinary Full Moon 

• it is the closest Moon to earth in 2014 and so has stronger potentials
• This Full Moon is a severely aggravated one
• Saturn sits square on to the Sun, Moon, Earth and Mercury

      [Saturn Scorpio vs Sun-Mercury in Leo; Moon, Earth in Aquarius]

• Add to this potency Mars squared off with Jupiter in another Leo-Scorpio combustion

Bu there is far more complexity & intensity here than a general readership can digest.

Keen observers will note:

•  the Uranus-node midpoint activating the horizontal axis
• Multiple GC - Galactic Centre [27 SAG] - activations including Sun-Moon-Mercury midpoints to Mars; Venus & Jupiter midpoints to the MC; Jupiter-Saturn midpoint; Uranus-Neptune midpoint; Neptune Node midpoint.
• The more the channels to the Galactic Centre are activated the more extreme events, including weather, arise]

This August section has been extended and re-edited as a separate post

Part Two (Sept-Oct-Nov-Dec 2014)
October stands out for two reasons:the eclipses of the sun and moon
Falling after 3 successive Supermoons, the eclipses add further turbulence and geophysical strain into the earth terrestrial and atmospheric environment

The October 23 partial solar eclipse with sun, moon, Venus conjunct in Scorpio highlights the transformational and death signatures of that sign.
Issues of power, power abuse, disempowerment are strongly implicated in Scorpionic themes

What adds a strong environmental punch to this eclipse is the exact positioning of Mars on the Galactic Centre 27 Sagittarius. This degree position is highly sensitive to power planets starting from Mars & all further ones in outer orbit.

The Moon at 12 Scorpio on Oct 24 will intensify Mars' unleashing of galactic level forces - which on earth manifest as intense storm effects and further terrestrial strain adding to the flow-on effects of the October 8 total lunar eclipse - [which has already by October 14 activated significant seismic disturbances in New Zealand, South America]

Due to the 2 eclipses, expect signs of atmospheric/weather turbulence & geophysical strain to be persistent through much of October in vulnerable earth zones

Sydney storm and a massive North Atlantic storm are in news on Oct 15
A surprise blizzard with fatal effects in the Nepali Himalayas reported on Oct 16
Mexico, Hawaii, Bermuda and UK all faced severe storm effects.
Hurricane Gonzalo figured prominently up to October 21

NOVEMBER 2014
Noting the combining effects of Mars and Pluto in Capricorn adversely angled to Uranus in mid November producing much heat, volatility, pressure and structural strain affecting environmental, terrrestrial and biological systems.
Weaknesses, fractures and undermining effects will in some cases be readily overt, but in others, silent and secretive -so in the context of seismic shifts may become evident with the application of further terrestrial strain with the waxing New Moon of November, from the 19th: the Mars-Pluto combination is adversely angled to the Sun-Moon. The added complication is Mars-Pluto at 90 degrees offset to the lunar nodes which is likely to be profound in effects as a result of the contacts made in the period from Nov 19-Nov till the end of the month. 
The Mars-Pluto-Nodes situation has Cardinal group energy and therefore is defined by the issue of BALANCE /IMBALANCE.
This issue underlies extreme weather events and is very relevant in human personal, interpersonal and collective affairs.
Personal relationship dynamics, use/abuse of power in all contexts; political extremism, ruthless ambition

Mars also adversely contacts Neptune which indicates water-related structural effects.

Mars-Neptune elevates trickery, deceit, fraud, illusion, magic, dirty tricks

All combined, the second half of November 2014 has much intensity in human affairs as well as the environmental issues noted. 

Effects can be initiated under a particular energetic influence and remain silent or latent until a secondary influence triggers the manifestation - so dates of exact planetary interactions do not automatically show the event described. It depends what prior building conditions were in effect.
