Solunars

October 19, 2018, 7:10 PM, Amritsar, India At least 60 people died, and over 100 more were injured, when a commuter train ran through a crowd of hundreds of people standing on the tracks watching the burning of an effigy of the demon Ravana during a Dussehra festival celebration. Dismembered body pa...

All Rims have this leaning. It's basic to the quadruplicity. It's as true of Cancer (for example) as of Aries.

Additionally, even if we don't ascribe a Mars rulership to Aries (which we might anyway, regardless of the Pluto factor), Aries is going to be Mars-like in the sense that it is anti-Venus.

The gates are open.

Sun has now entered Libra. Game on! Here is the tighter version of my interpretation of it, as written for the October monthly forecast. This ingress, overlaying mid-October to mid-January, is volatile. "Combative" doesn't do it justice: It is more intensely confrontational. Angular Pluto brings man...

October 17, 2018, hour unknown, Kerch, Crimea 18 are dead and about 50 others injured at Kerch Polytechnic College in Crimea. Reports remain confused. The incident was first reported as a gas explosion, then as an explosive device, and there remain reports consistent with an explosion; but a gunman ...

Moon enters Capricorn in a few hours, wrapping up another month. Wow, we had more surprises and hits on the last four weeks than in somec years. Mostly, the month was all about Mars-Uranus. I also correctly got the shift from the Arilunar week, when everyone was in a flurry about Kavanaugh, to the C...

Today we get the first field test of how some patterns of the new SSR will work during the year. One of the features of the chart is an exact Venus-Mars square on natal Saturn. This is partile. It's all tied into natal Moon, but not quite partile. So, that means that there is a triple Venus-Mars-rSa...

At 9:52 am we pulled out of the 7-11 near our home to hit the road to Flagstaff. This week is vacation part 2, heading for the Grand Canyon and then Arizona'best wine country.

Jupiter broke the horizon shortly before and my Venus degree (but not my Venus) was rising as we hit the road.

I'm rechecking everything for the other coordinates I just found, 34N30'01", 109E18'00". Both longitude and latitude are within a degree of what I used before, but it might make a small difference, e.g., in the Caplunar. Year/Quarter: Capsolar Functionally the same: Sun is 1°44' and Venus 1°15' from...

I'm actually wondering how sure they were of the date of this event.

All four lunar and all four solar ingresses are valid at any given time. Its just that several of them can be expected to have such "quiet voices" that they aren't relevant in practice. Nonetheless, we can go back to the primitive days when Bradley was first discovering these methods, and look at al...

First impressions... the easy stuff... None of the ingresses have mundane aspects that don't exist ecliptically. (That's a factor that has been found moderately valid, as it is locale-distinctive.) No non-primary aspects hit angular planets in the charts to alter their typical working. Adding extra ...

I think we need to keep this one around as an event from which we can learn something. I've nearly run out of major events that misbehave without apparent reason - we've cracked the code of nearly all of them - and this one is pretty bad. Except... it shows well in the Week chart and really well in ...

@ Jan 23, 1556 (OS), morning, Shaanxi Province, China The deadliest earthquake recorded in history: approximately 830,000 people died and an area approximately 520 miles wide was destroyed. "in some counties as much as 60% of the population was killed." Most people in the area lived in artificial ca...

Wrapping up the Virgo month in a couple of days. I have the Libra thread ready to go (I'll be on the road). Anyone have more specific stuff to share on Virgo Moons? PS - Over the last couple of days, elsewhere I was in a long online discussion about the history of the Democratic Party, which seems t...

A rather humorous example of one of the experimental transits occurred yesterday. Transiting Mercury crossed the 9th cusp of my new SSR set up for Milwaukee and, same day, we boarded a plane to leave Milwaukee and fly home.

That one's pretty on-target!

I read the following article today in the Washington Post about Dr. Leana Wen and asked myself, "What, is she a Capricorn?" https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/social-issues/a-doctor-is-taking-over-planned-parenthood--and-shes-ready-to-fight/2018/10/11/e12fbc3c-c8c0-11e8-b2b5-79270f9cce17_story.htm...

New York Times did a wonderful, detailed profile - it reads like a novel - of the people who died in this crash and how the whole thing happened. I recommend the time to read it (it's kinda long) - there were a couple of solar returns on the line with this. Someone could do astrology a great good d...

Man, you really like those Moon-Mars relationships :) But I have to say, this is probably the very best kind of Moon-Mars relationship to have! First, she's an Aquarius-Scorpio - and she has (all very close) Moon opposite Jupiter square Venus T-square right on her angles, among other stuff. She's pa...

Sep 28, 2018, 10:02:43 UT, 0S10'41'', 119E50'24'' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_Sulawesi_earthquake_and_tsunami A magnitude 7.5 quake struck near the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia, triggering a tsunami as well. (A 6.1m quake 3 hours earlier was a true foreshock.) 2,088 people were confirmed d...

These charts were all quite ood until timing the day. Arguably, the trigger was the Liblunar less than a day before the event. Given how well these daily charts normally perform, I'd like to find a fuller explantion of what was going on with daily timing. In what follows, charts labelled Q are the Q...

The Dow dropped 831.something points today on news of falling interest rates and trade tension with China. For a likely short-term effect, the CapQ MC squared ingress Pluto Wednesday (while Pluto still transits Capsolar IC). The new Liblunar was dormant (though, if read, suggested it would cost peo...

Another theory that floated in and out of my head is that the main reason for experiencing it right then was that these were the transits of the moment. We know that transit planet placements are quite vivid in their signs and, regardless of my SSR, Jupiter was culminating in Libra when we were goin...

So far, so good, (In the hour Moon conjoined my Saturn, I realized I forgot to transfer money on the right schedule and got slammed with an overdraft fee - that's the worst downside, and it was my own fault.) And by not being in Los Angeles today, I miss the one and only exact transit of Saturn to S...

Steve, I get it! BTW, Mike asked me the other day (on a FB mundane astrology page) about sign placements in returns, Or, rather, I mentioned that a critical ingress for the Sputnik launch (I think it was the Capsolar) not only had a Moon-Venus-Jupiter T-square, but it was in technology-and-flight co...
