Right now Cardinal grand Cross - until April 24 the planets will be at
their tightest – the Cross will be at it most distinct And A solar
eclipse follows on April 29th
The Cardinal Grand Cross And Solar Eclipse
When four planets are 90 degrees
apart in the sky, we have a Grand Cross. Basically, it is two
oppositions and four squares. We are calling this a cardinal Grand Cross
because the planets in question are in cardinal signs – they are the
movers – the doers – the action signs. The planets in place now deal
with very intimate changes – Aries – who we are; Libra – how we related
to others; Cancer – our home and roots: and, Capricorn – work and duty
Right now - until April 24 the planets will be at their tightest – the Cross will be at it most distinct. A solar eclipse follows on April 29 in Taurus – the sign of stability and grounding.
Since these planets are in cardinal
signs – Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn, anyone with “personal
planets’ natal planets in those signs, will be more likely to feel the
pull of this grand cross more. Again, I urge everyone not to stick on the concept of the “bad possibilities.” Remember
instead the kind of change that can boost us further to make major
internal changes that reflect outward --- positive changes. What old
patterns do you need to stop and what helpful patterns do you need to
reinforce in your life? Use it - don’t complain about it and don’t fear
it. source
April 23, 2014
April's solar eclipse falls at 8 degrees 52 minutes of Taurus April 29, 2014 at 2:14 a.m., EST and on April 28, 11:14 p.m., PST.
The Taurus/Scorpio axis represents
the second/eighth houses of money and wealth along with security and
this will be a theme of this eclipse.
The grand cross is ushering in a new
area and we may not see all of the events and changes in the world for a
while or weeks to come. We have seen many events occur and most of us
have felt or experienced the stressful energy in some way, personally,
especially the cardinal signs.
Not all events relating to the grand
cross will be negative, and it will bring in revolutionary ideas and
events, unexpected twists and turns and allow us to go in new and
different directions. Eclipse energy is not easy however, and this
eclipse will set off more events.
While the lunar eclipse of April 15
affected Cardinal signs, this eclipse will have more of an effect on the
fixed signs-Aquarius, Scorpio, Taurus and Leo, or those who have fixed
planets in their charts.
The eclipse chart is set for April 29, Washington, DC.
The ascendant of this chart is
Aquarius at 5 degrees, the sign of the people, groups and the collective
as was the lunar eclipse.
Neptune lies at 6 degrees Pisces in
the first house showing issues surrounding water, oceans, gas, oil and
perhaps even chemical weapons and gasses of different types. Neptune
rules oil and according to Nicholas Champion, also rules war: "Because
of its associations with confusion and delusion Neptune can rule war,
and in this respect shows very strongly in the chart of fascist Italy
where the main motive for war was national glory, and where the main
result was confusion. Neptune also rules scandals, the results of
confusion and deception."
Neptune in this
position shows the suffering of large groups of people, which is pretty
much a given at this time in the world, one way or another. It also
casts a shadow of secrecy-deception over this chart, and events that are
occurring during this period.
The Sun represents the President and
government and is conjunct the Moon and Mercury in the third house of
communications which will be vital and important. Mercury is opposing
Saturn in the ninth house of foreign relations showing us stern,
communication with little compromise when it comes to foreign entities.
The Sun, Moon and Mercury are supported by Pluto in the twelfth house of
secrets and Jupiter in the sixth house ruling workers, trade unions,
the military and national defense, national health and health workers.
The third house also represents trade
(trading partners), roads, neighborhoods, railways, telephones,
schools, postal services, newspapers, computer terminals, television,
freedom of speech, official announcements, the education system and
neighboring countries as well, and there will be a focus on third house
matters. Accidents of many types, even earth related events are possible
with this chart and situations that could involve young people.
Pluto is directly opposing the US Sun
in its natal chart, and this shows us there will be ferocious,
malevolent opposition to the US and its policies . Uranus is square the
US Sun bringing change and unexpected events and with Jupiter conjunct
this shows a desire for expansion of US ideals.
In President Obama's chart this
eclipse, along with the Sun and Mercury oppose Neptune in his 9th house
of foreign relations. This shows a confused, muddled or deceptive
situation. Mercury square his Sun showing a battle of words and possible
concern over transport and younger people. Neptune will oppose his
Pluto throughout the spring/summer showing a convoluted, deceptive and
lengthy period of trial with those known 'open enemies.'
The ruler of the eclipse Venus, lies at 25 degrees of Pisces trine Saturn showing wealth and national wealth.
According to astrologer Jude Cowell,
this eclipse sets off the 1881 natal horoscope of the Robber Barons, "
those plutocrats whose progeny, both biological and philosophical,
continue to lord it over the American people as if plutocrats are
monarchs--you know, the 1% of wealthy elitists in the US, many of whom
owe their power and extreme wealth to ancestors whose vast fortunes were
made or increased during the last 20 years of the 19th century:
Carnegies, Rockefellers, Morgans, etc, with the Rothschilds hiding
behind the velvet curtain of privilege as well."
Cowell writes, " Mercury @12Tau31 is
nearby in 3rd house of Communications, Transport, Neighborhoods,
Siblings, and Early Education. Mercury, the Orator, also conjoins
deceptive Neptune in the 1881 chart in which Neptune rises indicating
conditions out of control and possibly water, oil, and/or gas issues
with a potential for poisonous conditions.
Since we already have toxic
conditions in West Virginia, North Carolina, and elsewhere, we may
expect the April 29, 2014 to bring these concerns even more front and
center with hopefully no further environmental catastrophes to deal
with."
The third house deals with transport
and transportation and I heard an interesting commentary on NPR
discussing ranchers aversions in the Midwest to the transportation of
tar sands across America by rail, recently.
Mars is still opposing Uranus from
the eighth house of taxpayer money, death and transformation, and the
eighth/second house of this chart is in focus (money, wealth, income,
death) along with the third/ninth houses, and twelfth/sixth. The twelfth
house deals with secrets, elements of a subversive nature, and the
Jupiter-Pluto opposition represents those with an agenda to push, the
rise of terrorism and individuals who believe they are right about
something.
On a side note, with the search for
MH370 in the Indian Ocean, I believe an effort will begin to map the
oceans of the world, and this will lead to many new interests,
developments and even companies that will emerge as leaders in this
endeavor.
Taurus is about the earth, rich
pleasures and represents the peak of spring. Perhaps now is the time to
take a moment to relax and enjoy amid the chaos. After all, this moment
will never return again.
