Feb 7, 2017 East New Orleans, 11:15 AM according to people on scene, touchdown of EF3 or greater tornado.
Also touchdowns near Sunrise Bridge and near Baton Rouge.

The Canlunar doesn't start till tomorrow but has Neptune on the DSC for this area. Don't see anything in the current Arilunar and the Capsolar shows Uranus and Jupiter lines.

Transiting Mars is within 2° of New Orleans Capsolar MC. That's typical of destructive storms of various kinds.

Longer-term vulnerability is that transiting Neptune squares the New Orleans Cansolar MC.

The only thing on CapQ angles is Mercury, which at least is consistent with wind. Bottom line, though, I think this is an excellent example with Neptune square Cansolar MC and, within that, Mars transiting Capsolar MC

The National Weather service has said that tornado touched down at 12:25 PM EASTERN standard time. I'm still taking the time from the person on the ground there as more correct.
There was ping pong ball sized hail.

This is all heading to Montgomery AL.

The Army Corp of Engineers agreed to approve the easement for the Dakota Access Pipeline at 3:13 PM EST February 7, 2017. I don't have a place where the decision was handed down, but I assume somewhere in DC. Drilling will begin at 12:01 AM tonight on land stolen from the Lakota Sioux for the benefit of a foreign (Canadian) oil company. This will result in two (2) permanent jobs in the US.

suppose it's part of the general, depressing, costly, hurtful Saturn transit to Cansolar Midheaven (which, thankfully, will be over soon).

Interestingly, the touchdown time had Sun exactly square Ascendant. I'm not sure what the symbolism is (of course, there's always "promise of FEMA"), but it might actually be a meteorological, astrophysical matter not sorted out yet. Jupiter and Uranus were both crossing the Prime Vertical at this time, also, which is even more appropriate.

By this morning there are still no reported casualties that I can find, but a lot of property damage.

Here is a better breakdown. Not surprisingly, the best showing for the day's impact (and quite descriptive) is that transiting Uranus has long-term squared Capsolar Ascendant, and transiting Neptune squared Cansolar Midheaven; then, for the day (a few days), Mars had just entered orb of crossing Capsolar MC.

I don't have a time this started, but sometime this afternoon. It was still going on at 11 PM. A woman went to her regular check-in at the Immigration Office, and instead of the usual, yes, this is where I live, this is where I work, see you in six months, she was arrested by ICE under Trump's new immigration orders. Her American born husband was told she would be held till a hearing where he could bring a lawyer, but instead, ICE tried to sneak her away from the facility in a van, according to her husband, intending to deport her with no hearing.
Only somebody noticed. The van was surrounded by dozens of shouting people, and a man actually put his arms and legs inside the wheelwell of the van so if it was moved they'd break his limbs, if not kill him. Other demonstrators blocked the exit to the street.
ICE says she was arrested because of an arrest in 2008 during an ICE raid on her workplace. Even though she's been checking in with them regularly since, has remained employed, and has a husband and two children who are citizens.
Seven people have been arrested by police for being over-zealous, but have said most of the people there are peacefully protesting and won't be arrested.

This (I think it goes without saying) sucks massively. In the best possible, most sympathetic view toward the administration, they are still doing this while a federal appellate panel has had a hearing, we are awaiting their ruling, and in any case there is a federal court order staying the enforcement of the executive order.

In other words... keep your hands off until (unless) the court says otherwise.

The CAPSOLAR is ugly for Phoenix. Mercury exactly angular lifts it from dormancy, and the rest is Venus, Mars, and Neptune clustered around Midheaven (Venus-Neptune partile), part with Mars square a widely foreground Saturn. The word "inhumane" comes to mind from these planets.

The CAPLUNAR has Mars on MC, mundane square on Descendant, with Pluto also setting.

The new CANLUNAR has a setting Sun. If it contributed anything, it was the heightened presence of "executive authority."

Sun is also on CapQ Descendant - perhaps same meaning - with transiting Jupiter square CapQ Ascendant. For a third occurrence, transiting Sun squares the Phoenix Cansolar Midheaven (as Mercury crosses its Ascendant).

Actually, this is under another executive order that I don't think is under judicial review. This was under the order from two weeks ago deporting any unpapered alien who has been arrested or convicted or has an outstanding warrant.
However, this woman was arrested in one of Sheriff Joe Arpaio's raids on workplaces and convicted of a felony for not having papers. This was one of the former Sheriff's raids that are currently being reviewed in court for having been conducted illegally. She shouldn't have been being deported because she might have been illegally convicted.

This woman was deported because she was convicted of using fake and stolen social security numbers, which is an offense that any American could be imprisoned for and made to pay restitution.
There were also deportations in Southern California of several violent criminals, which is the same place Obama deported over 100 people from last Summer.
The eclipse across Cancer and Capricorn is just highlighting how the tide is turning in relation to accommodating people that commit violent and non-violent offenses in the US.
With Pluto getting ready to move into Capricorn by 2020 - 2021, this is only the beginning.

I do find it quite ironic because refugees in Dear Born, Michigan have done things far worse and more violent than this woman and are never deported.

Not stolen. Just fake. Nobody else's Social Security number was compromised. She served time for her offense, and was given authorization to work and live in the US and a stay was placed on her deportation order with the provision she check in to the local ICE office on a regular basis, which she has been doing.
For the last nine years.
The order Trump signed was meant to deport aliens who have committed crimes that hurt somebody. This woman was not meant to come under his order. It was a matter of interpretation that should have been interpreted by a court, just as Obama's orders were. Instead, somebody took it onto themselves to try to sneak her over the border and dump her.

I don't think that's what Trump wanted to happen. I'm pretty sure that's not at all what he intended. I sure don't think defending the actions of the ICE officers who pulled that is doing Trump any favors, just like the TSA people who refused to allow Green Card holders back into the US were doing what he intended, or anything he's pleased happened.

You mean Muslims who are citizens or here legally joining in the protests at airports against Trump's Muslim ban and praying in the terminal? Muslims aren't being deported to Mexico. ICE lied to CA state representatives claiming nobody was being rounded up when they had rounded up 160 people. Why is ICE lying about what they are doing if it's legal?

Venus, your current lunar has transiting Neptune 0:28 from square your natal Mars and transiting Mars is 0:32 from square your natal Neptune. Transiting Mars is sitting on your natal Mercury and the Sun is sextile your natal Saturn (both partile) in your current solar. In your current demi-lunar which came in on the 8th, transiting Nepune is 0:00 square your natal Mars, and the Moon is foreground and less than 2° from conjunt Pluto. You're going through something very real right now, and I'm so sorry.

The Oroville Dam on the Feather River in California is the tallest dam (770 feet) in the US, and holds back a reservoir of 3,500,000 acre feet.
According to Wikipedia, "on February 7, 2017, during flood control release of about 50,000 cubic feet per second (1,400 m3/s) a crater appeared in the spillway of the dam. Due to high inflows to Lake Oroville, dam operators were forced to continue using the damaged spillway. By February 10, the hole had grown to 300 feet (91 m) wide, 500 feet (150 m) long and 45 feet (14 m) deep.
State officials said that Lake Oroville may overtop the emergency spillway, which has never been used since the dam's construction in 1968. Because the spillway is a separate structure from the dam, there is no danger of the main embankment being breached; however, once the lake rises to the level of the emergency spillway, it will create an uncontrolled overflow and a potential flood risk downstream."

I typed a long post written out about how there are honor killings, peeping toms, Christians, and gay men and women being harassed by Muslim refugees and Muslim US citizens because there is plenty of proof, but I realized that it's really not the time or the place. I feel completely disillusioned around the fact that a lot of Muslims (both refugees and citizens) are trying to make Sharia Law into a status quo, which supersedes the constitution. I feel torn after hearing about 6 girls molested at a water park in Canada by a Muslim refugee, which sparked a community leader to shriek "racism" and "facism". I feel torn that Muslims who are following the law in Europe are being deported in droves because they can't deport the undocumented "refugees" in time for the German elections. I feel torn that men, women, and children that made Europe such a great place are being raped, murdered, assaulted, or stoned by people that are not even considered terrorists or extremists. I feel displaced in the West and even in my own country where it's okay to call the president a "little white b*#^&" on national television (SNL).

I know the area well. I was up there frequently for a couple of decades after my Teacher moved to Oroville, just down the road from the dam.

The real vulnerability, I think, begins with the Liblunar on the 15th. I've noted in the monthly forecast that Saturn is angular curving around to slice California up the middle, and that's not far from Oroville. Checking specifically, Saturn is 0°07' from Descendant, with Neptune widely foreground.

The Caplunar is rally just showing rain etc.; but the current Canlunar has Pluto 2° from rising, which surely has them jittery. CapQ MC moves within 2° of transiting Mars at the end of that week (concurrent with Sun transiting the Capsolar MC). Then again, for the start of the Liblunar week, Saturn and Neptune are on CanQ angles, and Pluto is transiting the Cansolar Ascendant! Beginning the 15th, then, there's very high vulnerability in that area. (Aside: That's not far from Sacramento, so it could all be something with the California governor or legislature as well.)

I understand how you feel completely. The same thing has been happening for decades, with a lot of Christian men and women trying to make the Bible the actual foundation of civil law, and to create and interpret laws based on their religious precepts. As you say, this sort of thing violates the Constitution.

You've cited horrible events. I think these should be investigated and prosecuted as crimes - there are already laws against those sorts of things - and that we really confuse it when we start mixing it up with immigration issues or laying it at the feet of a specific large group, most of whom are law abiding.

One clue of how much anti-Muslim prejudice is going on is that news is reported to highlight that someone is a Muslim, but essentially never mentions when someone is Christian (or, for that matter, Jewish). What if every news article specified someone's religion in reporting their bad actions? (I'm not recommending it. I think it's a bad idea. But it's a worthwhile thought-experiment.)

In that case, some headline stories in New York Times today (which I happen to have at hand) would sound like this:

Roman Catholic Judge Roberto Di Bella in Calabria is breaking up the Mafia by breaking up the families, moving minors away from their equally Catholic parents and relocating them to foster care in other parts of Italy.

In Chicago, a Christian police officer shot an innocent bystander and a 19-year-old armed with a bat. He will not face charges.

Christian Tom Price was sworn in as health and human secretary by Christian Vice President Mike Pence.

President Trump will look into reports that his national security advisor, Christian Michael Flynn, had certain pre-inauguration discussions with Russia and then misled administration officials about it.

The Jewish former CEO of AIG, Maurice Greenberg, and his Christian collaborator Howard Smith, the former AIG financial officer, have reached an unexpected settlement with the New York attorney general in their 2005 fraud case.

Christian-owned company Yum Brands has infiltrated nominally secular China by opening a Taco Bell restaurant that is starting to alter Chinese eating habits in the targeted area. More likely will follow.

Buddhist athlete Tiger Woods suffered another professional setback yesterday, withdrawing from the upcoming Genesis Open in Los Angeles, reportedly due to back problems.

Former Knicks player, the Christian James Dolan, will not be allowed at an upcoming game due to a recent physical altercation.

... and so on. (This can get boring.) It either seems totally silly OR teaches a different level of cultural interaction OR suggests we need to watch out for those Christians who constitute the majority of criminals caught and incarcerated for decades. (You get my overstated point, I'm sure.)

I feel displaced in the West and even in my own country where it's okay to call the president a "little white b*#^&" on national television (SNL).

I understand but if this had been about Obama, things would not have gone so well.

I guess the race issue is highly debatable, but I am just scared about the Islamic beliefs becoming so prevalent in the US. Most mainstream and even puritanical Christians stopped harming racial and sexual minorities, yet it's viewed as justified for most Muslims, who are not even viewed as extremists. I know I may come across as "racist" or "ignorant" to some, but I wanted to know, how likely is the American Government to be overthrown in favor of Islam and Sharia within the next 10-20 years? I am asking within the context of Astrology.

I suspect that's because you don't know much about what Islamic beliefs actually are. Have you read the Koran? I highly recommend, as a concentrated and accurate summary, Islam for Dummies by Malcom Clark. It's quite an excellent summation.

I don't think that's true at all. Large blocks of this country have married women in almost medieval constraint and poverty of life quality, and unmarried women beholden to their parents; and, in general, the more intensely, saturatedly, and passionately a particular state is Christian, the more it is suppressive (usually actively suppressive) of LGBT rights.

I don't know how we could tell that just from astrology. From a non-astrological perspective, I'd say there is no chance at all.

We're still going to be in periods of heightened ideological division and polarization as long as Pluto is in Sagittarius, for example.

Scanning the next 20 years of progressions of the U.S. chart, nothing that radical appears. We have a time of "losing our way:" with Sun opposite Neptune in 2027-30, followed immediately by a time of extreme severity and hardship with progressed Mars conjunct natal Saturn in 2031 and , our Ascendant by 2035, square Sun in 2036. That's the worst of it, and might indeed include assaults not only on the country but on the presidency itself; but extreme war and internal violence seems much more likely. (The last hard aspect of progressed Mars to natal Saturn was in late 1811, just as the onramp to the three-year War of 1812. The last progressed Mars to Saturn aspect at all was a sextile in 1859 which, while not triggering anything directly, was setting up the conditions for the Civil War.)

New York Times broke earlier tonight that people in the Trump campaign were in ongoing communication with Russian intelligence prior to the election. Many details aren't revealed, one shouldn't jump to unfounded conclusions in the absence of information, and I personally (based on upcoming Uranus transits to the Capsolar MC) that we have a lot more revelations still ahead of us.

The big news of the moment is that all of this broke out into the open tonight and will be the talk of the town tomorrow. We probably can conclude that the White House isn't happy.

CanQ MC exactly squares transiting Uranus tonight (among other subtleties). Uranus and Jupiter are just outside orb (by a few minutes) of their transits across Capsolar MC and IC.

So yeah, more revelations to come, I think.

February 8-13, Pluto crosses quotidian angles for Washington, and Uranus joins it by the last day. This enhances the volatility of the present week considerably.


This is the last line from my forecast for the Canlunar week ending in a few hours. The one main feature of the last few days (besides "revelation") is, I think, "volatility." In domestic-political terms, one high level presidential appointee (the National Security Advisor) has been fired, another high-level advisor (Miss Kellyanne) has been called on the carpet and "counselled" regarding possible ethics violations, and NYT broke the news that various Trump aids were in recurring communication with Russian intelligence operatives during last year's campaign.

On the international front, Russia tested a well-developed missile in contravention of an arms treaty with us, North Korea shot off a missile that landed just off Japan, and Little Kim's half-brother was poisoned in Malaysia, among several other international simmering pots.

It's just... all simmering... all volatile.

"A car bomb explosion killed 45 people and wounded at least 56 others in southwestern Baghdad on Thursday, a security official told CNN. The blast targeted a busy car market in the predominately Shiite al-Bayaa district, the official said." (CNN)

The story is still developing. I don't have a time yet. [EDIT: I now have "Thursday evening."]

Baghdad's new LIBUNAR at least speaks of the car: Mercury is 0°40' from square Ascendant. But that hardly tells much. Sun is more distantly foreground, and the Sun/Mercury midpoint does fall within a degree of an angle. We also have the universal aspects of Moon with Jupiter and Uranus. (Mercury also transits square Capsolar Ascendant.)

The obvious chart for the event, though - as in most cases - is the CapQ. Transiting Saturn is conjunct EP. CapQ Ascendant squares transiting Neptune and the Capsolar's Venus-Neptune square. These placements boil down to, "really bad stuff happens centering around loss and damage, people are hysterical and don't know what's happening next, and somebody thinks this feels like performance art."

Chicago is being hit hard by the gun slayings of three children over the last four days.

The CAPLUNAR gives minor background details at best. Moon square MC is consistent with events involving children in the forefront (among other possibilities). Sun on Descendant shows government intervention (the mayor is already meeting with the U.S. attorney general about intervention). A possible tragic add-on is that Saturn is the same distance north of the prime vertical as Sun is below Descendant, so, if this is valid, we can read this as an angular Sun in partile mundane square with Saturn.

More to the point on the timing, the Capsolar for Chicago has transiting Mars crossing its MC the last few days. The new Liblunar came after most of these deaths, but shows the impact, and probable continuation of the trend, since Mars is exactly at its MC also.

At least 72 people died when an ISIL-affiliated suicide bomber attacked the women's wing of Lal Shahbaz Qalandar, a Sufi shrine in Sehwan, Pakistan today. According to Reuters, this was part of "a wave of bombings across the South Asian nation this week." Thirty of the dead were children. Another 250 are injured, some of whom are expected to die.

I don't have a time. So far we have February 16, 2017, Sehwan, Pakistan. Local noon is likely good enough, though I think it was more likely early evening.

The Capsolar and Cansolar both are dormant, though they both have Mars about the same number of degrees off IC. I think we would find that it is exactly. I'm not sure if there is another location this would be hitting that is relevant.

Flowing through, the LIBSOLAR has Neptune on WP square Saturn on IC, an obvious expression of tragedy.

The CAPLUNAR has Mars on IC and Saturn more widely rising. Moon squares Jupiter (which, in this planetary context, often means religious violence). Neptune is on the LIBLUNAR IC, with another close Moon-Jupiter conjunction.

CAPQ angles hit transiting and Capsolar Pluto and Uranus, fitting for a deadly explosion in general, but particularly typical for terrorist bombings of this sort,

The Trump administration just released details of its new (replacement) immigration policies which, just from the headlines popping up, focus on a much larger list of expulsions. This came from Department of Homeland Security a few minutes ago.

DHS has translated new executive orders into specific policy. This is being labeled "a major shift in how [DHS] enforces the nation's immigration laws." The largest focus seems to be on significantly expanding the number of expedited removals.

One difference: Instead of concentrating on removing anyone convicted of serious crimes, the same elevated priority for removal will be set at anyone convicted of any criminal offense. They went out of their way to emphasize this includes anyone who has "abused any program related to public benefits."

Expedited removals under Obama policy included people within 100 miles of the border who have been here less than 15 days. Under Trump, it will include those who have been here less than 2 years, independent of current location.

Especially they intend to focus on maximum enforcement of existing laws.

According to Asian news sources, "Jakarta was hit by widespread flooding on Tuesday after hours of torrential rain, with thousands of homes inundated, cars stranded and people forced to wade through murky brown water."

True flooding from massive rainfall is primarily a Jupiter + Uranus phenomenon, backed by Saturn. For starters, Jakarta's Capsolar occurred at sunrise and has Jupiter-Uranus just off the meridian. The Liblunar also has Jupiter-Uranus (aligned with Moon) along the meridian (and even closer to square Ascendant).

And the Saturn? (There is, after all, lots of damage and difficulty.) Transiting Saturn is conjunct Cansolar IC, and will be for a while.
