On Tuesday, August 23rd, an earthquake with a magnitude of 5.8 occurred in Richmond VA at 1:51PM, EDT. This earthquake was felt in 22 states. Monday evening, August 22, at 11:46PM, MDT, (1:46 am, EDT) a 5.3 earthquake struck Denver, CO, just 12 hours prior to east coast earthquake.
As an astrologer I went to my computer after hearing what happened and as a uranian astrologer, I transferred everything to my 90 degree dial. The picture was crystal clear, Mars was squaring Zeus and both were at the midpoint of Saturn and the Admentos axis. This planetary picture translates into “the earth belched”. It is a good thing that the earth did not fart at the same time or we would have been in really big trouble. Mars Zeus is to ignite, and the Saturn Admentos energy created a bottleneck. This planetary picture interprets an action or activity that causes insurmountable difficulties. Another planetary combination occurring at the same time was the Uranus/ Admetos midpoint which equaled the cardinal axis/ Neptune.
This earthquake was totally unexpected and stunned everyone. Whilst this combination was occurring, the Sun was midpoint Uranus and Vulcanus. This translates as a day of menace and danger. The reason there was such minimal damage was that Apollon was squaring Vulcanus, so it was part of the planetary picture with Uranus and Vulcanus. Apollon (expansion) is also the reason that the earthquake was felt in 22 states. This transneptunian planet contains a Jupiter Mercury quality, it can also be beneficial, but it can spread what it is involved with far and wide.
Wednesday, August 24th, with the earthquake behind us, the east coast is bracing for Irene. This is classified as a category 3 hurricane that could turn into a category 4 hurricane before it hits land. This is occurring as the Mercury stations to go direct. This Mercury station direct will be a little unnerving, depending as to where it is falling in your chart or the chart of the city where you live. It will be making a sesquiquadrate otherwise known as a sesquisquare, 135 degree aspect to Uranus. This could bring sudden unstable violent winds such as a hurricane. I informed some of my friends and clients that even though the hurricane season normally begins in June, this year, the real hurricane season will begin on this current Mercury station direct.
The last Mercury station direct in was squared by Saturn, and that produced deadly tornados that destroyed everything and anything in its path.
On a less dramatic tone, the Mercury Uranus tells us to expect the unexpected to come our way. Come mid-to-end of September, Uranus will be midpoint Pluto and the cardinal axis, at the same time, Hades will be the midpoint of Uranus and the cardinal axis. There will be sudden changes and more unexpected changes. Some may be nasty and unpleasant while others may bring pleasant surprises. My advice to you, my readers, is to tread carefully for the next month at least!
On Sunday, August 28th, Saturn will be semi-square Neptune and both will be midpoint Mars and Zeus, resulting in water damage and destruction especially with machinery, like cars, boilers, computers, etc. If you are living in the path of Irene, place all of your movable mechanical appliances in high places. Then on the 29th, Jupiter will station retrograde; some will experience some form of financial losses! We then move into September and Summer ends as the midpoint of Pluto and the cardinal axis equals the midpoint between Uranus and Hades. General changes can occur due to sudden meanness and nastiness. This planetary picture gets worse as Mars’s energy is added to the mix.
On September 6th, Mars will be 22 ½ Cancer on the cardinal axis. He then moves to 22 ½ to Hades, and then on to Uranus, thereby ending his reign of terror in a big way. Mars then makes a 22 ½ to the Pluto station direct, while at the same time falling midpoint Saturn and Jupiter on September 16th. Transiting Venus sets off Hades and Uranus. My suggestion to all of you out there in cyberspace is to hide or cut up your credit cards especially on the afternoon of September 21st as Venus will be midpoint Saturn and the cardinal axis.
September 22nd, Venus moves to the midpoint of Hades and Saturn. September 23rd, Venus comes to the midpoint of Saturn and Pluto, while the Sun will be on the cardinal axis setting off Uranus and Pluto… Yuk, Yuk and more Yuk! One thing for sure, we will be living the Chinese curse: “May we live in interesting times!”
