Uranian Gnu Lune

Dear Friends Around the World:
BEFORE WE meet again, the world will experience the Pisces
New Moon conjunct Uranus. This occurs late Monday in the
Uranus has been in Pisces since early 2003, in the process
of a seven-year journey across that sign. It's now in the 11th degree of Pisces
and Tuesday's New Moon is in the 10th degree -- a close conjunction. Uranus is
always full of surprises and generally does an excellent job of shaking up the
world, and our seemingly private, inner worlds.
Yet in Pisces, this is a shakeup from the inside; from
below; from deep beneath the waves. Actually, the chart looks a little like a
seaquake. Imagine that Sun-Moon conjunction deep in the watery element of
Pisces, forming an exact meeting with Uranus, the astrological lord of
revolutions.
Here is the chart:
Uranus, a planet that could also be called Prometheus
because it's so forward thinking, is going to send, or for that matter is
already sending, a big message to the world. What's interesting about Pisces is
that it's a slow-acting sign. And more interesting still is that nobody really
understands Pisces, as it seems to defy so many earthly laws and has a logic
all its own. So we have a fast-acting planet doing its work in the most
mysterious region of space. And Pisces is slippery. You can never really define
it, much as people try to from the outside; it's always like a film projected
on the mists. While everyone is watching the film, the mists are doing their
work.
I don't think there's going to be a long delay in this
process, however. This is the New Moon just before a total solar eclipse on the
Aries Point. It is the one-month marker. A lot, that is to day, a WHOLE LOT of
energy is about to move. For those who have been reading this column for a
while, you've heard the Aries Point come up a few times. Here is a link to a compilation
of my writing on these pages that covers the Aries Point. The article is called
"The Personal is Political."
So we are in this moment when deep causes will have big
effects. I have been saying, and maintain, that this is THE tipping point for
the Cheney-Bush administration and indeed for the fear-politics movement, and
this will be apparent with stunning clarity by late March. The steam is running
out and progressive forces that have been developing for the past year are
beginning to show their strength. It is strength from within, however; the
strength of awareness; of resolve; and of subtle determination to guide life in
a positive direction.
How any individual responds to their own awareness is THE
spiritual crisis or opportunity of our day. It is the essence of growth in the
times we are alive. Our society is based on burying your head in the sand and
pretending that nothing affects you, while you keep on rowing the boat and try
to eke out a little happiness here and there. There is far more to life than
this.
Mercury Retrograde in Pisces
On March 2, about one week from today, Mercury stations
retrograde in Pisces. Mercury does so in an exact square or 90-degree angle to
Pluto and the Galactic Core. We live through the Mercury retrograde in the
weeks leading up to the Equinox (it is upon us, believe it or not). So the end
of March is quite a performance, with the Equinox, then Mercury stationing
direct, followed by what I am calling the 3/19 cluster: the Aries Point total
solar eclipse; the Cheney/Bush Inauguration chart going off (the fuse has been
lit); and Pluto stationing on the Galactic Core. Watch Planet Waves for daily

Natal Chart of Pisces Paul Tibbets
Enola gay, you should have stayed at home yesterday
Aha words can't describe the feeling and the way you lied
-- O.M.D.
This week's news chart is the natal horoscope of Paul
Tibbets, pilot of the Enola Gay -- the Boeing B-29 Superfortress bomber which
delivered the first atomic weapon ever used in combat. Tibbets was born Feb.
23, 1915 with five planets in Pisces. He is still alive today; Thursday is his
91st birthday. I became interested in him after getting a couple of CDs by OMD
-- Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark, that band that did a song back in the
1980s called "Enola Gay." I then followed Wikipedia links till I came
out at his birth data, which turned out to be this week. I have rectified the
time, which was not listed.
Tibbets, then a colonel, formally named the B-29 after his
mother. The ship's code name was Mother and the bomb's code name was Little
Boy.
Over the years, I've done a lot of the nuclear charts, but
never that of Tibbets. There is an astonishing connection between his chart and
the
Now open the
This connection helps understand why it is so important not
only to look at the sign that is rising and the opposite sign setting, but also
the degree. This is not observed by math, but rather matching up numbers;
simple observation of the chart. What does the Chiron/Pisces and descendent
contact say about the event, and Tibbets' involvement in it?
Note that the position of his Pisces, and the horizon for
What exactly is the implication of that Chiron connection? I
am curious to hear back from you about that. And here is one more chart, the
progressions to the

minor planets of Paul Tibbbets, and the minor planets of the
