Why is it necessary to protest? Because protest brings out the nature of the thing being protested, so that everyone can see what it is. In tonight’s edition of Planet Waves FM, I consider the two charts that I’ve read for the shooting of Michael Brown and the subsequent protests in Ferguson, Missouri — one cast for midnight and another cast for noon, on the same day.
Hi Éric,
The podcasts you do keep getting better. Each one surpasses the one before.
I was deeply touched by your thoughts spoken about civil disobedience. And motivated. Also your meaningful take on Ceres (mine conjunct NN) and Vesta spoke volumes. Taking it in!
Eric: Thank you for keeping the instructive dual chart idea alive, as well as the idea of civil disobedience. Somewhere, i’m sure, Henry David Thoreau (who did his best work during the previous time Neptune was in Pisces) is pleased that you carry on.
be: Thank you for the be-autiful invocation of Sibly!
Nature of the Beast: U.S. Sibly progressed centaur (awareness) Chiron (pain) 17 Aries (individual) sextile U.S. progressed Pandora (release of ills) 17 Gemini (communication) both quincunx (irritate) and therefore complete a yod (adjustment) with transiting Saturn (law and order) 17 Scorpio (starting on day of shooting) + Mars 17 Scorpio (day of Michael Brown funeral) square transiting Venus 16 Leo (display of love)
Transiting Uranus stopped short of 17 Aries and turned retrograde. Trans. Uranus will reach a conjunction with US progressed Chiron in mid April 2015, after a lunar eclipse of the Moon (that conjuncts U.S. Sibly Saturn at 14+ Libra), and just as trans. Mercury makes a conjunction to the Chiron discovery degree and Ceres squares it. Following Uranus’ arrival at 17 Aries, the Moon will reach 17 Aries shortly after, and Saturn will quincunx the Chiron discovery degree.
Previous to this, during March 2015, the last Uranus square Pluto aspect of the series of 7 takes place, followed by a total solar eclipse featuring Venus conjunct the Chiron discovery degree, closely followed by the Aries Equinox.
Also in March, transiting retrograde Jupiter (sextile U.S. Saturn) will trine transiting Uranus (opposite U.S. Saturn) before the final Uranus-Pluto square. It could herald progressive change in U.S. government law toward the use of force (military equipment, etc.) in state and city arrest procedures. (Transiting Neptune will reach 8 degrees of Pisces, conjunct U.S. Ceres and square U.S. Uranus in Gemini.)
Transiting Jupiter turns direct and will sextile the U.S. Saturn AFTER the Sun conjuncts the Chiron discovery degree, and DURING trans. Saturn’s quincunx to the Chiron discovery degree.
