Astrology Today: The Oracle for Wednesday, May 26, 2010

Published by under Daily Astrology Blog

Today’s Oracle takes us back to the Pisces weekly of June 28, 2004

The Oracle.

By all rights this is a time in your life when everything can be worked out by innovation. I think that one key is not being too attached to any one method or model of reality. These months have been a challenging time as regards the issue of what and where you call home, and why this is so. In the more emotional sense, home is the feeling of safety that’s stronger in some people than in others. Your charts right now say that home involves taking a chance on someone or something. You seem in a space to consider carefully what you have to lose, and what you have to gain. Fair enough; but don’t think too hard or you’ll ruin the dare.

Of the Grandmother Land

Published by under Daily Astrology Blog

Karen Pardini, matriarch of the Grandmother Land (often depicted on Planet Waves), with her dobermans Suki and Katya. Karen is a midwife who has delivered about 2,000 babies, an EMT and a leader of the Eagle Valley Search Dogs, a search and rescue team that trains on her land. She is one of the Capricorn Moon women in my life. Photo by Eric Francis. (Note, our senior syntax correspondent, Carol van Strum, noted that I am alleging in this caption that Karen 'delivered' all these entities -- babies, search dogs, a rescue team and an EMT. This is not fully true, but in an abstract way true enough, and a great image, so I will leave it as written.)

Ticket To Ride

Published by under Daily Astrology Blog

By Len Wallick

This morning the Moon comes around and goes around to Scorpio. Shortly after the ingress it forms a sextile (60 degrees of separation) to Ceres in Capricorn and then Pluto.

It is the aspect with Pluto that holds the most fascination. At the time of the Luna-Pluto sextile both will be in 150 degrees of separation from the Sun in Gemini, thus forming the three’s company aspect known as the yod. Or should we say five’s company? For there are two minor planets precisely involved. But first, a preview of the big stuff coming up at the end of the week.

This coming Thursday night or Friday morning (depending on where you are), three meaningful events will take place in rapid succession. First the Full Moon at 6+ degree Sagittarius. Then, literally minutes later Uranus moves out of Pisces for the first time in seven years, rebooting the zodiac with a big-time ingress to Aries. Finally, literally hours later Mercury moves past 12 degrees 38 arc minutes Taurus, the place where it stationed retrograde back on April 18th. Thus ending its second echo phase.

One is tempted to write “that doesn’t happen every day” again. This brings to our attention that the recent astrological events reflect the times in which we live. The rare, the unlikely, the improbable, indeed even that deemed impossible is happening every day and you ain’t seen nothing yet.

Astrology Today: The Oracle for Tuesday, May 25, 2010

Published by under Daily Astrology Blog

Today’s Oracle takes us back to the Leo weekly of June 24, 2005

The Oracle.

As the days go by you’re getting closer to making your many dreams into one reality. A rapidly unfolding sequence of events over the next week will get you rather far perhaps further than you may have imagined. It seems you’re poised for a large influx of energy money or support to enter your life every bit of which you deserve. But deserving is not the reason this is happening. If there is a concrete reason energetically it’s that you’ve let go of enough fear to make room for truly good things to happen. Remember in the future what a difference this makes.

Even for an Earthling…

Published by under Daily Astrology Blog

From Space Daily and sent in by Carol van Strum

First, the galaxy should be thoroughly populated with surveillance outposts on a time scale much smaller than the time it took on Earth to produce this cosmically pathetic civilization we call the nearly 200 member nation states of the United Nations, with humanity now hanging under two self-constructed Swords of Damocles: the twin threats of catastrophic global warming and nuclear war.

Second, THEY, or at least their outposts, surely know we exist, since to believe THEY are ignorant of our existence is to assume they somehow bypassed us in their expansion into the galaxy, a scenario I simply find unworthy if not unbelievable for an advanced civilization, especially one in existence for millions if not billions of years. It is important to note that this conclusion is informed by present day physics and chemistry, not a post-Einstein theory that transcends the speed of light.

So we are left with option 3: the aliens are deliberately avoiding communicating with our primitive world. I submit this is by far the most plausible given our current knowledge of science and the likely sheer ordinariness of our chemistry and planetary organization.

Why would we be considered primitive? This should be a no-brainer, even for an Earthling. The world spends $1.4 trillion in military expenditures while millions of our species still die of preventable causes every year. Carbon emissions to the atmosphere continue to climb, even though presently available renewable technologies such as wind turbines exist and are sufficient to completely replace our unsustainable energy infrastructure.

Nature Conservancy and BP

Published by under Daily Astrology Blog

One result of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill is a real degree of ideals being dashed. I am stunned that the Obama administration is sitting there with its hands tied; that this disaster has not been federalized weeks ago.

Elvis once asked where are the strong, and who are the trusted? From time to time connections surface between the big-biggie environmental groups and the corporations (and/or deeds) they are supposedly fighting.

Today this came in from the Washington Post:

In the days after the immensity of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico became clear, some Nature Conservancy supporters took to the organization’s Web site to vent their anger.

“The first thing I did was sell my shares in BP, not wanting anything to do with a company that is so careless,” wrote one. Another added: “I would like to force all the BP executives, the secretaries and the shareholders out to the shore to mop up oil and wash the birds.” Reagan De Leon of Hawaii called for a boycott of “everything BP has their hands in.”

What De Leon didn’t know was that the Nature Conservancy lists BP as one of its business partners. The Conservancy also has given BP a seat on its International Leadership Council and has accepted nearly $10 million in cash and land contributions from BP and affiliated corporations over the years.

ISS/Atlantis transit of the Sun

Published by under Daily Astrology Blog

French astrophotographer Thierry Legault has done it again. He captured a view of shuttle Atlantis and the International Space Station crossing the face of the Sun on May 16, 2010 about 50 minutes before the shuttle docked with the ISS. Legault took the image from Madrid, Spain at 13:28:55 UT.

Once In A Lifetime

Published by under Daily Astrology Blog

By Len Wallick

“You may ask yourself: well…how did i get here?”
–Talking Heads

Last week was quite a workout. As the Sun approached the end of Taurus, it was in a square (90 degrees of separation) to Neptune in the 29th degree of Aquarius. As Venus approached the end of Gemini, it was first in a square first to retrograde Saturn in Virgo then to Uranus in the 30th degree of Pisces. The transit of both the major luminary and the minor benefic to different signs just before the weekend changed the scenery and substituted the antagonists but kept the plot.

For no sooner was Sol in Gemini that it formed a square to Chiron in Pisces last Friday. Venus in turn was surfing in the sign of Cancer but two days before feeling the undertow of an opposition to Ceres on Saturday followed by an opposition to Pluto late yesterday. Finally to top it all off, Jupiter (in Pisces) opposed Saturn (in Virgo) in clash of the titans late Saturday or early Sunday, depending on where you are.

By the time you read this the Venus-Pluto and Jupiter-Saturn oppositions will be separating but still functional to a degree.

And thus we find ourselves washed up on the beach of Monday morning, If we have had any sort of respite over the past few days, it has been in change. A change of the “what” in the “Now what?” but precious little opportunity for “Not now”. A different direction from which the wind is blowing but no relief from its relentless velocity. This slope is about to get steeper yet, at the end of the week.

The next few days give us the opportunity to gain perspective over the last few. It is from that perspective that we will gain our traction and the energy to apply it. If there is anything to synchronicity, the aspects and planets involved can give a clue what is going on within and without. Let’s start with the inside.

Astrology Today: The Oracle for Monday, May 24, 2010

Published by under Daily Astrology Blog

Today’s Oracle takes us back to the Sagittarius weekly of November 11, 2005

The Oracle.

As usual, certain plans or arrangements have been thrown into reverse, but you don’t appear to be worried. You know that plans are a rough draft or pencil sketch of reality, and that God apparently goes through a lot of erasers on the long road to manifestation. Meanwhile, you’re clearly benefiting from having a long-term view of things, such that minor fluctuations in the marketplace of life don’t need to threaten you. Notice that the world is obsessed with the short term, but rarely bothers to ask how things are now. This is definitely a luxury you can afford.
