Astrology and the swine flu story – revised.
This article has been updated at this link.
The swine flu story emerged in the US around the time of the Taurus New Moon, so that can serve as a working chart for the current event. This is an Aries Point chart, with Venus and Mars there, square Pluto in early Capricorn. Feel the whole thing for a moment — doesn’t it have that sense about it? That sense of personal (Venus and Mars) imminence (Pluto and the Aries Point)?
All influenza mutates between birds, pigs, horses and/or humans.
The issue first was acknowledged March 18, with the Sun at the very end of Pisces — also qualifying as an Aries Point event. The Aries Point indicates precisely the kind of development that is public or widespread in nature but which comes with the feeling of having personal implications. But that does not make the story true, or suggest the actual extent of the impact. Many Aries Point stories manifest as big news events with little actual public impact, but arriving with a lot of private fear. The fear is often the point of contact with the ‘news’ event.
Events currently (including news reports) are unfolding as Mercury moves into shadow phase (this began Thursday). Mercury is currently applying to a square Neptune. Both are red flags that we are in an environment susceptible to false information. This Mercury retrograde process will come with three squares between Mercury and Neptune, so it’s a process of sorting out deception.
That would also suggest that we are susceptible to fear — or to diversion. So we might want to ask what we are being diverted from. The suicide of Robert Kellermann last week, the CFO of Freddie Mac, is a clue. I think we are about to see another round of bank failures as the Sun passes the Beltane point. Remember two things: the Beltane point, being exactly 45 degrees from the Aries Point, is an Aries Point trigger; and second, we saw how that might work with last year’s New Moon exactly on Beltane pointing to the 2008 round of bank failures.
Notably, this is surfacing with Chiron conjunct Neptune in the background. This seems a perfect backdrop for this kind of issue. With Jupiter approaching, the story is likely to get bigger before it gets smaller. We are likely to have a dose of ‘what a strange world we live in where so much can go wrong’ kind of thinking. Chiron can be associated with both disease process and with healing process; Neptune is associated with things of an obscure origin, with misdiagnosis and with misunderstanding.
As we can see from the homeopathic literature, influenza is directly associated with anxiety and fear, and in particular, the last major pandemic was treated with a remedy linked to anticipation anxiety. At the moment we are living in a world of that kind of fear, particularly economic in nature. We’re constantly on the brink of ‘what’s gonna happen next?’
We need to watch this psychic theme more carefully than we need to be concerned about actual influenza.
How do our customers feel about Planet Waves? One recently wrote, "Your writing is the most resonant and inspiring I've found online." Another said: “The last few weekly articles that you wrote were very insightful. It was almost like reading a commentary and prophecy all at once." And another: "What a difference Eric's birthday audio meant to me. I purchased the Taurus one and was/am going through a difficult time and a few things he said I just burst into tears because of the content but felt so much better afterwards. I know I'm not explaining this very well but what I'm trying to express is how wonderful, inspiring and helpful to me (and others) this is."

Paola, I’m all for love, but I think we have to go beyond the myth of Justice, which is more tribal-based, and Love, which is more inspired by Judaism and Christianism, and talk about Freedom. Freedom to choose and freedom to be ourselves.

Hello,
I’ll tell you what just happened. After reading this article on influenza, I was going to another website, feeeling a little anxious because I don’t feel very well since yesterday. I misspelled the name of the site I was going to, and went to a website called “OM SAIRAM” instead, which welcame me with a nice music. On the second page it was written in the center of the page: “Karma gives sight to the blind”.
Neptune, Chiron and Jupiter are right on my south node now.
Om!
Psychic vibes? Absolutely. Not that catastrophes don’t happen (’cause, um??), but it seems to be more about understanding what’s going down in one’s own reality as well as the broader influencing subjectives. How are WE dealing with the broader subject of “living our Own lives according to how we interpret the surroundings we habitate?” Because those are the spaces where we can actually find self-empowerment. (It’s always right there, you’ve just gotta dig through all the shit.)
There are ways, and means out of this shithole we’ve found ourselves created in (welcome to Universal co-existence). And, we’re wakin’ up to the shit, this is good! Revel in this moment of excitement for the future! The NOW is here.
Through LOVE and PEACE,
Jere
It’s a good thing that the WHO reacted rapidly to this public health threat, though I think that this is probably not a priority in Mexico. What really surprised me is how this is going to bring authorities to reinforce surveillance on the American borders. There’s already a lot of military action down there, and the drug war is probably killing much more people than this swine disease. Not to mention the lack of drinking water, a major public health issue in this country. So these measures may be to protect Mexicans, but ultimately the remedies may do much more harm to the Mexican people, even though everyone in the world will be informed about the situation. I’m really worried that this will distract the global population about the real issues to tackle in this country. Once again, we are covering up the real issue, by suggesting false remedies to a concern that may be relevant, but minor in comparison to the major problems plaguing that country.
