Busy Sky: Meteorite, Asteroid and Sun Enters PiscesThe sky is a busy place right now. Early Friday morning, an approximately 11-ton meteorite entered the atmosphere 900 miles east of Moscow, injuring 500 people, most of them from broken glass, according to news reports. [Do not miss this astonishing video.] It's extremely rare that meteorites hurt people, and to my knowledge no human has ever been struck by one in recorded history. Most of the meteors you see streaking across the sky are the size of a grain of sand, or smaller. This happened within a day of an asteroid, 2012 DA14, passing by the Earth at the hair's breadth distance of 17,200 miles (the two incidents may be related). That's a fraction of the Earth-Moon distance and is considered by astronomers to be an extremely close brush. Any asteroid that comes within 31 million miles is considered a near-Earth asteroid. This one is 1,800 times closer than that. It's probably a stray fragment of a larger body. Most asteroids orbit between Mars and Jupiter. Many others orbit with Jupiter.
It's not known for sure whether the meteorite that hit near Moscow and the asteroid are related. Many people have been asking for my interpretation of what this close brush means. Since we don't know the position in longitude, it's impossible to place in a chart. However, it suggests at least two things: one is some kind of a close call. The second is something that emphasizes our current moment in history. In the most ordinary terms, it's a kind of memory anchor to have something like this happen, so make sure you connect it to any interesting, poignant or unusual events or passages in your life right now. And in the spirit of investigation, let's see what develops over the next few days. The Sun enters Pisces Monday, joining four planets that are already there -- Neptune, Chiron, Mars and Mercury. That's a lot of Pisces -- more than we've ever had in recent years. Making things interesting is that the Sun changes signs in a conjunction with the asteroid Eros, which is about matters of the heart -- both emotional and biological. Pisces is the sign of the imagination, of creativity and of a deep kind of faith that's not available through religion, a book or a workshop. Pisces is the faith that you're born with, and as such, it can represent the crisis of faith, of finding your passion and of making contact with your creativity. Eros in an exact conjunction with the Sun as its Pisces journey begins is saying that creative power comes from the heart, which may be close to what people think of when they say 'soul' -- another Pisces element. Neptune is right there, which is accentuating the same story. The difference between these two planets is that Neptune can act invisibly, in the background, until something brings its influence into focus. Chiron's longterm presence in Pisces is accentuating the quest for your true passion, your deepest creativity and your faith both in yourself and something larger than yourself. Chiron is always looking for that connection point between micro and macro, between the element and the whole system; Chiron is always reading for the holistic level of existence. Over the next few weeks or so, the Sun will make many aspects -- conjunctions to Neptune and Chiron, as well as aspects to Jupiter, Pluto and Saturn. This will provide a concentrated sequence of opportunities -- actual opportunities, though you will need to tune into that Pisces level of awareness: noticing inspiration, feeling your creative impulse, opening your inner eyes and seeing your vision. ![]() Pope Meets the Centaurs Pope Benedict XVI this week became the first person to resign the papacy in nearly 600 years. This happened during a week of centaur conjunctions (covered in detail in Tuesday's edition of Daily Astrology), which tend to bring shadow material to light. Benedict was directly implicated in the child rape coverup that has been shaking the church for more than 20 years, and which turns out to date to the 1950s, so this was an appropriate time for him to quit.
I ran across the work of a writer named Kevin Annett, who explained this position. I thought I would check his theories against the chart and they do seem to hold water, if not holy water. In astrology, the themes of power, sex and money are related through the 2nd and 8th houses, and it turns out that this chart is all about those houses -- with other implications taking it to the top of the world management team. The chart for the resignation announcement is below; here is a zip file of all the charts I've used. I also reference my coverage of Ratzinger's election as pope in 2005 -- I covered that at the time for Jonathan Cainer's website in an article called "Pope Signals." Our musical guest is Sinead O'Connor; I play a live recording of a song called Whomsoever Dwells, which you can watch on her website here, or purchase the full compilation. ![]() Your Monthly Horoscopes -- and our Publishing Schedule Notes The March monthly extended horoscopes will be published on Friday, Feb. 22. The February monthly horoscope was published Friday, Jan. 25. Inner Space for February was published Tuesday, Jan. 29. We published the Moonshine Horoscope for the Aquarius New Moon on Tuesday, Feb. 5. Please note that Moonshine horoscopes by Genevieve will now occur twice per month, for each Full and New Moon. I recommend reviewing the monthly horoscope at the end of the month. Also note that the longer monthly horoscope is being incorporated into the Friday issue after the Sun has entered a new sign; a new Inner Space is still emailed on the following Tuesday. ![]() Pisces Birthdays: A Moment of Confidence Hello Pisces! The Sun is about to enter your sign, which will add a source of heat, light and energy to what is already a once-in-a-lifetime scene in your chart. Well, once if you were born after the 1960s; this may be the second time if you were born in or before the '60s, though in any event this is a rare and spectacular moment of potential for you. ![]() This year will bring many points of contact with others, their ideas and their enterprises. You have your options open, though I suggest that you keep your main focus on what you know to be your primary mission. You won't have to think long to remember what this is, but I will remind you of one thing. What you thought was difficult, impossible or out of reach in the past is now accessible, available and eminently possible. Remember that at every step, and have faith in it.
