American civil war shadows -The Astrological connection

I thought i'd try and shed some light on the astrological connection to the recent events bringing up the ghosts and shadows of the American civil war.


Trump is very much connected to that energy.






I progressed the USA natal chart to April 12 1861 the beginning of the war between the states.

The USA had just started a 4 year progressed full moon phase - the highlight point of a 30 year cycle and peak culmination to events and energy, that had been building for over a decade prior. The full moon was in Aries opposite the sun in Libra - the war axis. The USA is Sag Rising so Jupiter at 5 degrees Cancer is the ruler. That full moon was at 5 degrees Aries so the sun and moon opposition was T-square the USA chart ruler, showing the opposition, climax and turning point for the country.

At that time, the USA progressed Venus was at 17 degrees 55 mins of Libra. This is important factor for the connection tor recent events.

Before I get into that, let me make clear the number one influence that is driving force behind all the turbulence for America. The USA was born with Pluto in Capricorn. Pluto has 248 year cycle. Pluto for the first time in the USA history is returning to it's birth placement - called the "Pluto return". This is a slow long process over several years where life and circumstances start to manifest what's been building in the shadows since birth. Everything repressed, shamed, shoved away, controlled, done in private; the deep dark and ugly, etc, etc begins to come to the surface in every day life for all to see.

Next biggest influence: USA is having a very rare total solar eclipse exposing a shadow from coast to coast, in the sign of Leo with the North Node, which is very dramatic and significant event.

So the connection to the past has to do with that Venus progressed to 17 Libra back when the civil war started, as Venus is the people. The USA Mars is progressed to that Venus point back then, down to the second - 17 degrees 55 mins. reenergizing that point of the past for the USA war and anger progression.  Mars has also stopped and progressed Retrograde. The USA is not moving forward now. It's going backwards to the past. This will be a long phase of not progressing past the point we've already hit.

Trump has his Jupiter at 17 Libra as well. This shows Trump expands the military power of the USA, and the aggression of the people. Also transit Jupiter just made a final square aspect to Pluto from 17 Libra. Pluto is square 17 Libra, same place where the people were progressed to back when the civil war started. So 17 Libra has been lit up in many ways connected to these times and Trump - that old point of the old civil war. Trump has a connection to the past energy in his chart which is inflating the USA Mars which is on that old point of the people. So you see how that works?

The connections don't stop there. The North Node was also in Leo back then, and the day the war started Mars was at 16 Leo. The last lunar eclipse was at 15 degree Aquarius in opposition to that point, while transit Mars has also been passing thru that point. All this is contributing to the rise of that past energy, the shadows and ghosts of the civil war.

The USA had MC progressed to 22 Sag at the start of the war, which is where Saturn is stopping right now and turning direct.

These are all indications that the past is being reenergized at this time for a reason. These old issues were buried but not settled, energetically. Pluto Return is showing everything from the past needs to come to the surface and be destroyed, before the nation can move on for the next cycle. The nation either gets destroyed and dies over the next 10 years, or it gets destroyed and begins to rebuild on a new foundation for the next 248 year cycle. But either way, there's no escaping the effects of Pluto return. Life in USA will not get better until Pluto moves on.

This great american eclipse is part of something bigger for the nation. It could very well be about Trump as eclipses are known for correlating to the fall of a powerful leader somewhere in the world. This eclipse is aligned with Trump in a big way.

These times are fated and meant to be happening. These shadows coming up for the USA are meant to be showing. It's nothing new, it's just being exposed which is part of the Pluto process. The USA is in symbolic death phase....very slowly.

The USA is not in the same cycle and phases of that civil war era. The current phases and cycles are just bringing up the ghosts of that energy but things are not the same in other ways. Conflicts will play-out in new ways. The next few years there could be war on american soil from within, but this recent rise of nationalism is only the beginning, the seeds for later events to play out.  Saturn will transit Cap and join Pluto int he next few years, which will be the most powerful events for the change of USA govt and structure. Very powerful and difficult times ahead for the nation.

Things will get much worse in the USA before it gets better. This is why most nations don't last that long, cause Pluto always comes back around to bring an overdo end, before starting again. No matter what, things will not stay the same and all the ugly will come up for final release as Pluto returns.

Aquarius Partial Lunar Eclipse Aug 7 2017

This is a full moon 15 degrees Aquarius conjunct the South Node of fate partial eclipse Aug 7 2017 at 11:10 am PDT.

Lunar eclipse indicates full moon energy that typically has wildcard type instability, with shock and awe therapy, fated changes out side of one's control. Higher forces push you into new consciousness thru your current shadow circumstances, which offers personal growth, either the hard way or the easy way. Feelings and shadow type activity in your eclipse house can be reflected. Intensity increases in the area of life you have the eclipse occurring, along with the opposite house, and any outlets of energy to other houses thru alignments. Awareness of what was beneath the surface becomes perceived in new light of consciousness leading to a change of vision (Aquarius).


Moon trine Jupiter 

There is easy social opening, communication, or awareness outlet for beliefs and opinions in your relationships on any level Monday night, thru some kind of interaction possibility that leads to changes of some kind. Feelings and circumstances can easily get amplified with this eclipse as Jupiter has unrestricted flow of energy to the moon. There is opportunity, but comes with changes to plans or visions. The changes can even include NOT changing as you thought something was, staying put, (fixed) etc, but is opportunity in doing so, yet sacrifice of something else. Pluto and eclipse is challenging that opportunity with power struggles.


Lunar eclipse with the South Node in Aquarius:

Fated events in your Aquarius/Leo houses (areas of life) create long lasting changes with a releasing process for the next 6 months to a year. A reconfiguration with change for you and your role within the group of your Leo and Aquarius areas of life. Changes to organizations you're involved in, friends, associates, etc. New awareness about those people is possible.

Plans and visions for your Aquarius area of life receive new light, letting go of an old perception, idea, vision, cause etc, having new innovative ideas, possibilities and visions coming in for this area of life after the unseen has been exposed.

Sun/Mars in Leo opposition -

This opposition is in one side of self or your circumstances that opposes the group, exposing egos, shadow motivations of self and others, with desire to let go of that group, or, the idea you're just another person of the group; a number, no one special, nothing without others, etc, etc. while the drive and desire is to turn focus onto your individuality, what brings you joy and allows you to freely express in group activity, within your Leo Aquarius houses. There is heart, passion and following of instinct vs the group route, or group mind. Drama, passion and pride are strong forces with this eclipse. Detached objective perspectives are challenged. The need to lead, be first and best increases for whatever you're passionate about, opposed by detachment or unhealthy thought processes. Heart/instinct/subjectivity vs mind/rational/objectivity.

Mercury stationing Rx opposite Neptune

Communication, information and thought processes are slowing down, yet mental energy is becoming louder and more powerful, but the details, what's practical, and what's grounded logic is becoming more and more influenced by subtle unseen forces like imagination, spirit, emotional sensitivity, intuition the need to sacrifice for someone or cause, etc. Mercury runs into invisible resistance bubble of Neptune, causing Mercury (the mind, thoughts, ideas, comm) to stop and go retrograde for a few weeks in your Virgo and late degree Leo areas of life. Not everything is clear yet, some confusion maybe. A wait and hear process is starting with Mercury Rx, something is in the works in Virgo/Leo areas of your life, but you'll need more time before that's all clear and finalized. More imagination and creativity needs to be incorporated with your logical grounded plans in those areas. Be careful of illusions too. When Mercury moves direct past this point, whatever Virgo process you're waiting on will be complete and final.

Relationships 

Mercury Neptune can be opposition in relationships too. One person takes on the sensitive Neptune role and other takes on critical Virgo role. Critical only because it's hard aspect to Virgo. Both people can go back and forth taking on different roles at different times, Stay conscious to your interactions, and you'll see what i mean.

Venus/Ceres trine Neptune

Relationships and feminine energy is sensitive, private and withdrawn into own world with fantasies and imagination. There's a need to be protective and hide in a shell of bliss. Romance and sensitivity in love behind the scenes is possible, but not shown anywhere else. Desire for home and family, safety and security, including financial security increases. Emotional need for intimacy and connection but oppositions in other areas cause tension. Nurturing in romantic or family relationships is what brings pleasure now. Movies, tv, books, games, bodies of water, retreat, escapism, drugs, food etc, imagination and fantasy are some of the manifestations of what the feminine and relationships in general are interested in after this eclipse. Feelings and shit, ya know; hugging, blankets, being comfy, having comfort food at hand, spoooooning. All that kind of stuff is where Venus is at. There is outlet opening up for that.

Jupiter square Pluto

There's determination and force to achieve something in your Libra/Cap areas of life, involving others and the structure of your life. Opportunity that comes with a fight or challenge. Change, social tension, coming on extra strong. Legal, law and justice issues. People vs gov't. Fighting for beliefs, and opinions. Diplomatic relations vs cold and ruthless, etc, etc. -. More about Jupiter Square Pluto here


Uranus stationing Rx

Instability, unpredictability, restlessness and wildcard change is always eclipse energy, but Uranus (modern ruler of this eclipse) is stopped and turning Rx, so its power is increased. Lightning strikes, new revelations, the need for freedom, independence and self expression increases. Revolution in your Aries house is on levels outside your control. Things are happening there and it's a bit unstable. The need to innovate and do things differently in your Aries area of life increases.

Saturn (traditional ruler of this eclipse) 

Saturn indicates this is karma and bigger than your little world and little perceptions. Long term changes are happening with this eclipse that you won't even realize until later. There's a mature objective.  Lessons and tests are here. Sun/Mars aligns with the North Node of fate and trine Saturn, showing activity the next couple weeks is supported by authority but comes with challenge. Action is instinctive now. Everything happening is aligning you to your higher path and calling, even if it comes with stress, fear, letting go, or change and intensity of some kind. This eclipse brings awareness and consciousness expansion opening up a better way forward over the next 6 months to a year in your Aquarius house, and life in general. Even though unexpected changes are here for the next 6 months at least, Saturn trine offers a level of stability during the transition and innovations, so instability in human sense and stable in karmic sense. Trust the process you are in.

Release the old shadow holding you back, make room for new shadows.

Aug 4 2017 Jupiter square Pluto 3rd final pass

Jupiter square Pluto is an influence we'e had since 2016. Aug 4 is the 3rd and final exact square before Jupiter begins to slowly separate from this energy the rest of the year. On Aug 4 the moon will enter Capricorn and align with Pluto square Jupiter by Aug 5, activating this alignment in circumstances for everyone around those days. This leads to some kind of forced change in that area of life (your Cap house).

If you have any planets around 17 degrees Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn then this aspect is personalized for you and peaking now. But that also means you have a very rare Pluto transit that won't be going away for another year. Jupiter is just adding more energy to that, but by far Pluto is your most serious transit, that is a powerful long lasting influence.

Jupiter square Pluto tends to indicate an imbalance in the use of power and effort. Your beliefs and opinions can also come across forcefully, stated as facts when they are not. Jupiter Libra can be political so what you think and say these days is a bit abrasive and has edge.

 Jupiter's in Libra so this power imbalance could also be in your personal relationships. Either you or other could be coming on strong, laying down the law, manipulating, controlling and overpowering, etc. Check the houses that have transit Pluto and Jupiter. That will show you what area of life this conflict is in. Jupiter is giving opportunity but it comes with a fight or challenge (Pluto). Careful of being too forceful and controlling with other people.

There could be challenging of authority, the status quo, ethics, beliefs and opinions, trying to prove you have a better sense, or easier way to do things that requires less effort. You might be looking for the easier way to achieve plans and goals, which could backfire and leave you disappointed with the results. Not investing enough effort, doing something half ass, expecting big returns with little work, could be an issue. There can be exaggeration about your problems and sufferings holding you back when really it's just laziness. 

On other hand, it could be the opposite, going big, too big, by overpowering and pushing against a powerful unmovable force, or having ambitions that are misguided. The activity you're in now could be risky in some way. Careful of putting too much faith into large scale enterprises that promises big returns, or other schemes you have working up, that might be shady. Also watch out for activity that could put you at legal risk. If you are involved in something with others, you might have to face a final challenge with that as this aspect peaks for Aug. Make sure you're not putting everything into something that isn't going to happen, or show the results you want and expect.

 Do you have an idea of what this might be referring to in your life right now?

There can be intense business dealings that come with power plays, and you'll have to be careful you're not being exploited by someone for their own personal gains, or you exploiting them. 

Relationship activity can go to extremes under this influence and get intense. Sometimes there can be sexual/romantic activity within business and professional relationships causing intensity. Relationship expansion causing drama and power issues is also possible.Your activity with others right now has some major shadow showing, with power and control themes under the surface. 

With Jupiter Libra sq Pluto Cap, social and relationship energy can go back and forth between extremes such as being extra diplomatic, graceful, polished and refined to being cold, rude, vulgar, abrasive and aggressive. On the world stage, the US diplomats being expelled from Russia is one example how this square is playing out. 

This square can make it easy to feel dissatisfied with your goals and ambitions. You'll have to be honest with yourself where you're falling short because of your own effort or lack there of, and any misuse of power or misjudgment. More cooperation with others is needed, rather than being the know it all, that has to have it your way or the highway.

You'll have to be careful, not to squander or speculate your resources under this influence. You'll have big powerful ideas about making money, just make sure it's grounded and not over the top. You'll need to be mindful how you interact with others, especially in your Libra/Cap ares of life. Don't feed the drama and egos, yours or other people's.

Sometimes crisis and changes to plans and goals can happen under this alignment if it's on your sun, moon, ruler or chart angles. Intense and powerful events can shake up your faith. What you thought was going to happen, might not happen... 

Your thoughts, beliefs and opinions might be clashing with the structures of your Capricorn house causing authority issues. Being diplomatic, cooperative and compromising can go long way in soothing out the tension. The best thing you can do is take a good hard look at your use of power. It might need to be better balanced between your Libra and Cap side, or if you have Cancer and Aries, you might need to balance the power in a few areas of life with different people. Take a look at your goals and ambitions. Make sure you are not being ruthless in your drive to achieve what you want. Make sure your expectations are not going to let you down if something doesn't turn out exactly they way you wanted it to.

As the Cap moon joins Pluto Aug 4- 5, try to stay conscious of the power dynamic at play, and what's causing you the intensity. Release control and allow for the changes to take place. Look at the situation with mature eyes and allow it to show you where the imbalance is at.

Again, this energy has been here all year but the moon brings  a culmination to this now, so it's very strong with new awareness coming in. Let Pluto destroy what's not meant to be, have faith in that process. 

Good luck!

Gemini Full Moon 12 13 2016 - Info overloads short circuits and breakthroughs

Heads up - there is an extremely electrically lit full moon in Gemini (22 degrees - master #) on Dec 13 4:05 pm Pacific time, 7:05 eastern. This energy has the potential to overload and short circuit anything and everything that exchanges information, literally and metaphorically speaking, including your mind, the psychic spiritual realms, sound, or anything else with an electrical current or wave.

This moon is in alignment with sun, Saturn, Uranus, Jupiter, Chiron and Mars. That's a lot of powerful energy all at once. At the same time Mercury, which rules this moon is losing momentum as it's facing a conjunction with Pluto (the dark & powerful side of life), then stop right in front of the shadow (you know you don't want to hear the news) and move retrograde, back to where we already came from. The first half of your Cap area of life doesn't have all the information yet. Make plans but stay open for changes or adjustments which will be known by the time Mercury retrograde full phase is over, Jan 28 2017.

On the mundane level, Mercury going Rx on Pluto, in the govt/structure sign of Capricorn is related to politics, recounts and hidden information. This full moon is in tight alignment with Trump's personal birth chart, doing some serious activation with his circumstances. Social media will be lit up' like a xmas tree too. There could be shocking information, news and communication. It's hard to predict the pattern of a lightning strike. Bad and good is only a perspective, ultimately all this energy can lead to exciting breakthroughs.

That's true for your own mind and consciousness as well. Ready for some revelations and breakthroughs? It's time for change, there has been too much overload of information coming in for too long, including half truths too. At some point you'll have to clear the clutter before you go crazy. If you ground yourself Tuesday with the physical and spiritual, make room for change, mentally and on all levels. the universe won't have to do it for you, and the night won't seem so crazy.


The Air/wind driven moon (Gemini) is opposing the Sun and Saturn in the Fire sign of Sag.
On the physical material level, don't overload your electrical system, keep as little plugged in as possible - Fire is a real possibility next two weeks, more so this year than most.

There will be some extra crazy energy on the streets too. Your personal break-thru could arrive by means of a drunk or mentally ill philosopher/alien talking to you as you're exiting your local store. Maybe he really is from another world...

That's just one example. Also take care with driving or with any forms of transportation the next couple weeks, more so than you already do. I would just avoid it all, if anyway possible.  There is bound to be some delays and inconvenient reality with Saturn opposite this full moon. The people sure are going to be opposing authority, as well.

 For people that have a serious mental illness (which i think the label is overused) you can bet their minds will be doing some extra laps. I would watch what you say, this could be two weeks full of triggers.

For people grounded and stable, this moon energy can be used for your advantage, helping you create great change, taking innovative action, bypassing blocks, doing more then one thing at a time, understanding what you must commit to. There is some old/new wounding happening though, even if only on subtle levels that you'll have to deal with so it doesn't manifest in negative personal ways.

Dealing with any emotions that come up can be healed, both from the spiritual level AND physical level - such as using Mother Earth's physical medicines. She'll help you on the spiritual too, along with Father Sky. I think the universe is asking everyone to step out side the box for a bit, let's shake it up, and do things different. You might as well have fun doing it, it's Gemini, after all. You can still remain responsible while having fun too, so they say.

Your Gemini and Sagittarius houses (both natal and progressed charts) are the areas of life that have the most energy now, and need more balance. However, this moon energy is activating most all areas of your life with change and consciousness expansion ,do to the many alignments.

Enjoy.
