Eclipse Predictions and Environmental Warning Signs
The Moon is just entering Aquarius today.For the sake of practice this morning I hand calculated where the upcoming Spring Equinox and Solar eclipse will occur at exactly the MC of a location somewhere on earth. I came up with Hong Kong China as the largest city I could find where the Equinox/Aries Ingress happens at nearly the exact position of the MC (please feel free to check my calculations). However, further south the Sun will be at the MC in various cities throughout Indonesia. My horary …

The Last Time Was 545 AD
The last quarter Moon is in Sagittarius today, applying to engage the mutable t-square between Neptune, Jupiter, and Saturn.This morning I decided to go backward in history searching for the last time our current t-square was in effect. It took me a while, but eventually (fact check me in case I'm wrong) I found the year 545 AD. Since in my opinion this Jupiter/Saturn/Neptune t-square has had a lot to do with conflicting religious, philosophical, and political values I began searching for …

Donald Trump: What We Deserve?
The Moon is in Libra today, void of course. Meanwhile the Sun is moving closer to his conjunction with Neptune.Let's look again today at the Sun/Neptune conjunction.This morning I was revisiting the book of Job, and a few passages stood out as particularly relevant given both the Sun/Neptune conjunction and the enormous amount of gloom and doom I've seen regarding the presidential election in my facebook feed (mostly surrounding Donald Trump). The single most recurring statement I'm reading goes …

Flooding the Sun/Neptune Conjunction
The Moon is in Virgo this morning, void of course. Meanwhile the Sun is moving toward a conjunction with Neptune.There is a hexagram from the I Ching that reminds me of the Sun/Neptune conjunction. Hexagram number three: difficulty at the beginning. As the third hexagram of the I Ching the traditional commentary points to the early stages of creation, where myriad beings come into form and there is a kind of orgy of creative chaos. The pictorial of the hexagram shows a plant struggling as it …
