Switch to PRINT (narrow) Mode Don't miss out on the planetary aspects at the end of the Report to fill in the blanks on most days. Many aspects, especially those involving slower-moving planets, can influence several days, especially when approaching their exact date. Many will last for days beyond if the planets are moving very slowly. Also, be sure to check out the Lunar Gestation Cycle and Moon Charts!
Favorable Days Each Day is Rated with Void of Course Moon Periods	Dominant Weekly Activity
Saturday - Good Day to assess & deal with dead weight Sunday- Some Positive Results for your efforts today Monday- Visionary and Positive for those Well Prepared. Difficult for those Misguided Tuesday- Fair - Mercury turns retrograde Wednesday- Rough Thursday- Good; after 11:35 a.m. Friday- Good	Today a highly active Last Quarter Moon at 21° Scorpio involves a square (90°) to the Sun (as always) but this Aquarius Sun opposes Saturn in Leo. This is a weighted configuration that speaks to the changes of our dear planet Earth (a related note about this follows.) One indication may show both an increase in jobs and striking workers. Also, a trigger to the rising water (Neptune) and submerging land (Saturn) are the focus of the opposition of that pair that increases in intensity up to the end of the month, and which will be re-emphasized by the Aquarius Moon later on this week. For people, the Sun and Saturn opposition increases work for the dentist. It is clear it is time to take those supplements for your arthritic joints. Father issues are obvious and hard work is his answer. You may need to make arrangements for housing for elderly parents. Debt is an issue and the solution is a worry-free plan with a budget that has automatic payments. Just put something into action to take it off your mind. When we get past this weekend we have a good day on Monday for some opportunities. Keep in mind that Mercury retrograde begins Tuesday night at 11:38 p.m. EST at 10° Pisces and will last until March 7th. I suspect we will all think we are losing our minds as Mercury slips in and out of lucid thought in Pisces. You will however be prone to spiritual relief where meditation works wonders. Practical relief appears on the 26th when Mercury backs into Aquarius for the remainder of the retrograde period. By Wednesday the focus comes right back to Saturn as Valentine's Day is riddled with 150° aspects. There are three unattractive 150° angles: first, Venus in Pisces to Saturn in Leo, followed by the Moon in Capricorn to Saturn and finally, a very critical 150° from Mars in Capricorn to Saturn in Leo. This does not look like a love-fest. This looks like love hurts. Have a lot of patience, be forgiving and leave room for apologies. Find a good place to eat where you know the food is great and expect nothing. Mars and Saturn warn: if you want to cook for your sweetie, watch out for knives and fires. Driving around isn't a good idea both because the cops are everywhere and bickering interferes with your love poems. Even if you spend it in bed its likely to be disappointing. Find a way to sit this Valentine's Day out and still be there. That's a puzzle. But that's what you get with the quincunx (150°). Later is better, so plan your evening after 8 p.m. when your options improve. Whatever you do, don't ignore Valentine's Day because that'll be the death of you. Good Luck! Thursday there are no major planetary aspects but Jupiter is square the nodes of the Moon. This is probably a good thing. Jupiter usually brings at the very least a new perspective. The indications are that many decide they just don't think they are suited for this committed relationship thing anyway. Freedom calls and off they go. Friday the Moon sets off the Saturn and Neptune opposition again when it joins Neptune first and two hours later, opposes Saturn. Water and land - mud or snowed under- all come to mind. The Sun and planetoid Ceres are parallel through Sunday which brings a compelling desire to tell you about Ceres. Ceres, until recently, was the largest known asteroid orbiting between Mars and Saturn. It is has been used in astrological studies in more recent years and I began using it in charts in the 80's when Fran McEvoy introduced the asteroids to me. In mythology Ceres is the Roman goddess of agriculture and the patron saint of the Isle of Sicily because her discovery (23° Taurus) was made by the Sicilian astronomer, Giuseppe Piazzi on January 1, 1801. Her mythological role is the Earth Goddess of the Harvest who presided over fertility rites and rites for the dead. A popular Ceres story is when her daughter Persephone, also called Proserpina, was abducted by Pluto, the God of the underworld, scooped up the young maiden picking flowers and kept her for his wife. Persephone's kidnapping left her mother grief stricken, scouring the globe for her lost child. A short version of the story shows Ceres inconsolable and combing the earth for her lost child. The beautiful and famous goddess disguised herself as an old crone so that she may grieve in peace. One day three sisters found her sobbing by the side of a creek and asked what her trouble was. When she explained she lost her daughter the sisters asked her if she would care for their little brother. They thought by giving her another child to look after it might ease her pain. During her deep depression her role of Harvest Goddess dwindled and crops died all over the globe. She accepted the job of care giver while starving herself along with the rest of the globe. Ceres' most famous moments lacked any humor and I always see her represented in a chart as "dead serious". She is evident when people undergo a health care issue. Also I find people are - in their head- either stuck with their problems or obsessed by them. When prominent in a transiting configuration we will find that news stories accompany grim details. She does represent care taking and care giving, especially of children, but includes all other forms of tending to others. Health Insurance companies have chosen her name as their logo. Ceres is also the name of a well-known juice company. Certainly every cereal we eat is a Ceres item. Food and supplies in general are under her domain. As the goddess of agriculture we can expect to find her front and center when news stories involve food and agriculture happen. She is the goddess image of the virgin for the constellation of Virgo. She is also depicted as both mother and virgin and therefore, Mary the virgin mother. Last Saturday February 3rd Ceres and Uranus were conjunct (0°) in Pisces. This happens every five years. Jupiter tends to embellish or enlarge the implications of an aspect. With Jupiter square Ceres Feb 9, 2007 and still within orb to qualify the conjunction between Ceres and Uranus, we see the latest and greatest in technological advances from Uranus and a stunning example of the Goddess of the Harvest at her best in a story reported by AFP Worldwide news from Oslo, Norway that a Doomsday storage bin is being constructed by the north pole to withstand extremes in temperature and flooding if one or both polar caps were to melt down. The storage bin is dubbed as "Noah's Ark of food" and will contain three million batches of seeds from all known varieties of the planet's crops. See the article at www.rawstory.com. This story also fits very well with the grand fixed cross this weekend in the chart of the Last Quarter Moon in Scorpio. The indicators lead me to believe that a focus on a catastrophe of some sort would emerge. This fits in a positive way. The report from the North Pole seed vault shows the action taken for the future. The Last Quarter symbolism is the withering plant gone to seed at the end of is cycle that is then collected and stored to replenish the future. The vault will begin construction in March-the month of the current eclipse season. On March 3rd a lunar eclipse will occur at 13°Virgo at the south node. On March 18th a solar eclipse at the Pisces north node of the Moon will occur at 28° Pisces the path of the eclipse shadow runs from India, north through China and ending in Alaska. The path of the Sep 11, 2007 solar eclipse runs through South America to Antarctica. The path of the August 2008 solar eclipse runs across Oslo, Norway and near the north pole. Another story that has Ceres written all over it is the unfortunate aggression of the accomplished astronaut (Uranus) Lisa Marie Nowak, born May 10, 1963 in Washington, DC (no time given). She was born with a Uranus and Ceres conjunction in Virgo which is the opposite sign where they are transiting now in Pisces. Ceres develops attachments and can issues with their bonds with others. In relationship studies you will find couples that have a positive or strong Ceres connection often commit. Captain Nowak suited up in her astronaut's diaper and traveled 900 miles from Houston, Texas to meet her rival in a love triangle, Colleen Shipman, for a 1:00 a.m. landing on February 5, 2007 in Orlando, Fl. Novak was reported boarding the same shuttle, dressed in a disguise and dead serious about confronting Captain Shipman about her involvement with Commander William Oefelein, born March 29, 1965 in Fort Belvoir, Virginia (no time found). Nowak packed a knife, pepper spray and a BB gun. The disguise is also reflected with the Sun and Neptune nearly conjunct in the chart of the incident in the parking lot where she used the pepper-spray on Colleen Shipman. Neptune is famous for cloaking appearances and also rules the pepper spray. Venus (ruler of love) is also in Pisces and is conjunct both Uranus and Ceres - all near the north nodes of the Moon. This translates as the whole world learning of a bizarre and unfortunate story of love and intrigue among some brilliant minds run amuck. The node amplifies and magnifies the planet's meaning and broadens the impact. Jupiter is already doing that with its square (90°) to the entire Pisces group (called a stellium) so we get a doubling effect. As we expected in our Tuesday night class there are stories that suggest that the fellow involved, William Oefelein, is probably not without blame as he has a configuration in his chart that is prone to provoking trouble. Lisa Marie Nowak is a Taurus with Moon in Sagittarius that would have been quincunx (150°) at some point on the day she was born. She chose a day to act out her jealous rage with the Sun and Moon also 150°. I always say that the quincunx is that "life's messy, clean it up" aspect. Take a break from the chaos and visit Peace Village. ^top
