Lunar Extremes
from May Celestial Timings
The North Node in Aries brings us into the thick of the nineteen
year Lunar Standstill or Lunar Extreme when the moon makes
its widest deviations from the celestial equator (the due
east-west line projected from horizon to horizon across the
sky). All this year (and last year and next), twice a month
when the moon is near 0Cancer and 0Capricorn, it rises and
sets much farther north or south than normal (at greater than
23.5E declination). ... more

The Asklepius Stargate and
the new Planet
September 2005 By Mahala: http://www.mahala.com.au/
The Ophiuchus Stargate, which is also called Asklepius,
is being activated big time as I am writing this article on August 13, 2005.
It started being activated on August 8 as the Sirian Lion gate opened. That
gate will be closing soon, but the Asklepius Stargate will be staying open
for a long time.
The Asklepius Stargate first opened at the time of the Harmonic Concordance
on November 8, 2003 when the planets formed a Star of David in the heavens.
This Stargate has nine openings to it in various parts of the Pacific
Northwest, and it connects with 17 other Stargates around the world.
You could liken
the Stargates to doorways to another dimension. ... more...

Tsunami/Earthquake Disaster
in the Indian Ocean
by Rev. Elizabeth Mayo.
I know we were all devastated by the huge loss of life on 12/26/04
from the terrible Tsunami Tidal Wave, triggered by a massive
under-ocean earthquake off the Western coast of Sumatra.
I followed the news closely, and, as an Astrologer, tried
very hard to get the pertinent data. I checked several sources,
and got conflicting Times and Locations, so I am including
3 of the charts with this article.
Chart #1 is based on information I gleamed from the news
media, using a town on the West Coast of Sumatra for my coordinates.
Chart #2 is from the AFA, and Chart
#3 was supplied by Dikki-Jo
Mullen, from Marianne Payton. As you can see, the planetary
positions are essentially the same, but the degrees on the
House Cusps are different.
The first thing I looked at were the Aspects; the Earthquake
occurred shortly before the Full Moon, with the transiting
Moon @ 27 Gemini, approaching the opposition to the Sun @ 4
Capricorn 33. Full Moons, as we know, always contribute to
massive movement of the waters of the world, such as the tides.
As the Moon moved into 0 Cancer, (a "Critical" degree"),
it formed an Inconjunct aspect to Mars @ 0 Sag 4; this Mars
is also square Uranus @ 3 Pisces 41. Transiting Saturn Rx @
25 Cancer is approaching an Inconjunct aspect to Pluto @ 22
Sag 30; as we know, the Inconjunct aspect indicates sudden,
unexpected happenings. Mars, Saturn and Pluto are all three "Malefic" planets,
with Mars representing violent action; Saturn represents the
Planet Earth, and Pluto, of course, is the natural 8th House
ruler, the House of Death.
In the book "Fixed Stars and Constellations in Astrology",
by Vivian Robson, first published in 1923 in Great Britain,
he gives the following interpretations. Mars is conjunct the
Fixed Star "Isidis" @ 1 Sag 27; "Sudden assaults;
malevolence; sudden, violent death". Saturn is conjunct
the Fixed Star "Procyon" @ 24 Cancer 41; "Sudden,
violent malevolence; disaster." Uranus is conjunct two
fixed stars, "Fomalhauf" @ 2 Pisces 44; "Powerful;
malevolence of misfortune; fatally injured. And also "Deneb
Adige" @ 4 Pisces 14; "Destructiveness; Sorrow; Life
or death."
In the chart I constructed from the news accounts, Jupiter
and Saturn are both in Angular Houses, in a wide square to
each other. Jupiter always "expands" the situation,
whether for good or evil.
With a disaster of this proportion, you would expect Angular
planets, but, of course, this is the chart of the Earthquake,
not the Tsunami, which occurred approximately 2 hours later.
In the AFA chart, Saturn and Neptune are both in Angular Houses;
the same with Marianne Payton's chart, which is using 0 hour
GMT. If you are interested in doing further research on this
disaster, perhaps these charts could be helpful to you.

Sedna
A 10th Rock From The Sun!
Celestial Message Bearer For The New Millennium By Dikki-Jo
Mullen
The remote wilderness of the solar system has just tossed
astrologers a wild card. Sedna, a tenth planet, has put in
a surprise appearance in recent months. Twinkling near the
constellation Cetus (the Whale) and shadowing bright Venus
in March of 2004, Sedna first waved to humanity as a whole
during a transit through the zodiac sign of Taurus. Three times
as far from the Sun as Pluto is Sedna corresponds with the
New Millennium's many upsets and changes.
For thousands of years astrologers have comforted and counseled
while charting the orbits of the visible planets. Mercury,
Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn along with the all important
luminaries, the Sun and Moon, link to the heroic figures of
myth. These familiar heavenly guides provided solace and insight
concerning the mysteries and challenges that are the reality
of life on Earth. Over the past three hundred years, just yesterday
considering astrology's extensive history, planets much further
away, called The Outer Planets, have one by one become known
to us. As this occurred the scope of life on Earth also widened.
During the 1700's something started to happen. The reservoir
of available technology, political conditions, science and
overall scope of life began to widen. Benjamin Franklin discovered
electricity and the rise of democracy began with the American
and French Revolutions. Uranus was discovered. These events
are all Uranian in nature. more...

Grand Quintiles
Oct. 2004
“Jill Whitman, a Canadian astrologer from Toronto, has
discovered an astrological configuration, set amongst the planets
for October 1st of this year, which is then repeated on the
28th of that month, that shows dual patterns of near perfect
FIVE-pointed stars, astrologically known as a Grand Quintile.
Jill's research has found that five planets, Saturn, Jupiter,
Pluto, Uranus and the Moon, occupy the positions at the points
of the Pentacle on those dates. Both of these future moments
provide a very significant and therefore continuing link, astrologically,
to the Grand Sextile in the Concordance chart.”
The link to more information on this significant alignment
(and other information) is no longer active.
