Dear Friend and Reader:<\/p>\n

Later today is the Cancer New Moon. The Sun is currently in an exact conjunction with Vesta in very early Cancer, this being just the second day of summer here in the Northern Hemisphere. The Moon is currently in late Gemini, making a trine to the triple conjunction in Aquarius (Late Gemini to late Aquarius is a trine) and opposing the Galactic Core. Once again the Moon is getting a lot of energy run through it. In a little while from this writing, it will be void of course for most a while before entering Cancer\u0412\u00a0 at 1:11 pm ET.<\/p>\n

The Cancer New Moon occurs just two hours and a few minutes after that, at 3:34 pm ET. This lunation is exactly conjunct Vesta, and opposite Pluto, placing four planets on the early cardinal cross that is described as the Aries Point. The conjunction of Venus and Mars is also sharing data with the Aries Point because it’s at the midpoint of Taurus: exactly semisquare the Aries Point and aspecting other points along the cardinal cross (very early Cancer, Libra or Capricorn, which all count.)<\/p>\n

For those new to the Aries Point conversation, I would invite you to check out this link that explains the basics, called The Personal is Political<\/strong><\/a>. I summed it up in one basic idea: “We could call the Aries Point the One World Point, because it reminds us that we live in one world.” Hence, when events collect around the early degrees of the cardinal signs — Aries, Cancer, Libra or Capricorn, the pace of the world picks up, and events feel like they have more impact. The astrology can be subtle — for example, today’s New Moon will have effects that last through the summer and which some astrologers may not think to associate with the Aries Point.<\/p>\n

But the energetic connection is clear. I think that of many stories in recent years, the election outcry in Iran exemplifies this idea. But there is clearly more on the radar, whether the Iran story takes on a new dimension somehow, or there are unrelated developments in other areas on the world stage. But what we are looking at is a big enough to be impressive: the first very serious cracks in an Islamist regime’s ideology and its ability to control the public.<\/p>\n

We’ve been watching this gradual uprising since the Iranian revolution in 1979, and now (as any astrology student knows, because it’s about 30 years later) we are at the Saturn Return of the revolution — and this means a big change. But a Saturn return (which will happen every turee decades or so) does not have to be a widescale event. What is granting this the ability to have global effects is specifically all the alignments in the early degrees of the Cardinal signs. And we might wonder what, exactly this portends: how the influence will spread to other Islamist governments and populations, for example.<\/p>\n

Vis a vis Iran, I keep thinking one thing over and over: this was a country we nearly bombed two or three years ago. Do you remember? It was only public outcry, mostly on the Internet, and the failures of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, that prevented Dick Cheney and George Bush from going in with fighter planes and bombing the people who are having this uprising now. Strange to think many people would count bombing a country as business as usual, but take a look at who we would have hurt, and what process we would have stopped, had we gone in and done that.<\/p>\n

We might wonder the same thing about Iraq.
