Full Moon May 2011 – Algol and Hidden Enemies
Where’s Osama?
This Full Moon May 2011 is at 26 degrees Taurus (Venus ruled) and Scorpio (Pluto ruled). Taurus (Money) Pluto (Debt). It conjuncts Algol in Taurus at 26 degrees semisquare/ sesquisquare to Saturn and builds to square Neptune which will start the week off with some strain and possible strife and as the week progresses brings some dazed and confused moments, uncertainty, cloudy thinking and at a loss of connecting the dots.
The news has been full of reports of an Algol nature. Just in the last week, gruesome news of 2 beheadings, one where a man beheaded a woman in a supermarket in a popular very safe tourist resort in the Canary Islands in Spain. Also the discovery of “Where’s Osama” hidden whereabouts and his execution. Add the sudden news as momentum with swelling Full Moons would have it, “ The Governator” Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver announced a separation of their marriage after learning that Arnold fathered a child with a housekeeper that happened over 10 years ago which was kept hidden and quiet until now.
The charts for Arnold and Maria are telling. There is a very specific transit of Pluto over Arnold’s 6th house Moon square his 4th house Neptune-Pluto represents betrayal, Neptune deception. Here showing in his home and family. It also shows how this would have been kept in the dark and swept under the carpet with Neptune in 4th house (secrets). Maria has a very strong signature of Venus in her 7th house of relationships square Pluto in the 4th house with some heavy transits from transit Neptune showing the deception in her relationship that triggered her Pluto signature showing the inherent potential for betrayal in her relationships.
The uncanny thing is this full moon was over her relationship axis with Algol over her DESC/relationship 7th house cusp. Transit Uranus is in Arnold’s 10th house of career squaring his Moon and oppose 4th house Neptune showing the public display of the sudden surprise and shock of the news and the impending impact on his career although I doubt it will impact it much. He has already left office and animation for his future looks good as transit Uranus in his 10th is trine his 1st house Leo Sun in the next year. His fame is well in hand. He has been getting away with tapping the bottoms of women for quite some time now while in office. Suffice to say I am not shocked.
Full Moons are culmination points so it presents the results of the New Moon in progress where Osama Bin Laden was executed. There has been much discussion lately about Algol and the killing of Osama Bin Laden who was born with Algol over his Mars Taurus-this full Moon emphasizing his Mars (war) which has a hard aspect (Mars square Pluto) in his natal chart and further with his Mars over his nodal axis particularly his south node showing his imminent demise and the unraveling over his hidden secretive plotting and scheming.
There is something very karmic about Mars on his South Node-South Node often showing our Achilles heel and where we can get stuck in worn out habitual patterns that become our undoing-South Node is the place of the path of least resistance. It tends to those areas that need to evolve-areas where we hold onto due to past conditioning, security,comfort, beliefs, customs and rituals-its what we know and trust as opposed to opening to developing beyond the familiar and the old. At the time of his execution, Jupiter was conjoined with Mars in Aries showing combat and battle –war and victory which Obama is “touting” his horn on. Certainly the trail of Uranus Pluto Saturn in the separating tsquare forming the last triangulation before Saturn separates this July and Uranus square Pluto build into square has much influence as a resolution point.
Algol is a formidable fit with the Nostradamus predictions all pointing to some major calamity and or evil and destructive force, one being a figure out of the Middle East at this time which was very much in line with 911. Most of Nostradamus predictions came true to some extent. He predicted 3 antichrists. It isn’t very clear the first antichrist although some speculate Napoleon, the second most likely Hitler and the 3rd would make sense to be Osama Bin Laden as many of the poetic quatrains of this predictions centered around the big new city and the fires around the beginning of the 21st century as well as someone coming from the Middle East. Nostradamus did predict the years following this would be the building of years of peace (Neptune Pisces) however the cleansing would ensue for many years following which would equate with impending Uranus square Pluto transit 2012 set to reach its peak and subside after 2016.
Another prediction of Nostradamus interpreted is some type of planetary impact such as Planet X (Nibiru) and comet Elenin posing a threat in 2012 which would explain Uranus square Pluto in full contact in 2012 as well as all the dooms day ranting for 2012. What is interesting about the current attention to Planet X is its speculative discovery just upon the discovery of Neptune in 1846 and Neptune has just ingressed into Pisces-it ruler. Pluto was considered to be Planet X and the 9th planet until recently losing that status where there is still question around the irregularities and the potential still of uncovering more about the nature of Planet X. There is much mystery around the 9th planet still which aside from all the hype and fear mongling re: the potential alien association, there is the excitement of the discovery of this new planet which I believe is in the unfolding of this development.
After 2012 we may learn more about this hidden mysterious planet which now still lurks as a supposed enemy. Studies thus far show much of the erratic movement hinges around the orbit of Neptune Pluto which has been in sextile formation (60 degrees) since the discovery of Pluto in 1930 which demonstrates that even though Pluto lost its title as a planet (now a dwarf planet), the effects of Pluto cannot be denied and unraveling the mystery around its hidden proclivities and any planet beyond with any further influence is, even though yet to be seen, no doubt is lending itself to further research, discovery and conjecture.
In 2012 we have transiting Jupiter at 26 degrees Taurus on the transiting south node with a few solar eclipses near Algol (May and November 2012) just as Uranus is building to reach the square to Pluto. That shows some very strong dark force which makes sense that portends some type of disaster although I believe we will rise to the event and find a way to deflect anything major. Doomsday or catastrophe is really second nature now it seems being we have been living with some pretty intense disasters in the last 10 years. As serendipity would have it, Nasa just launched the Endeavor on May 16. I recall back being in Nasa territory having aquaintance with an astronomer with Nasa just as shuttle Columbia went down in early 2003. I was lucky to have my name planted on the Mars Rover that went off to Mars launched in June, July 2003. The mission of Endeavor? To deliver the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) essentially designed to study and research unusual dark matter which makes perfect sense as Uranus rules the unusual and Pluto rules anything dark.
Of course more news as our Vancouver Canucks are in the 2nd round with a first win. And further news to the end of time Judgment Day this Saturday May 21 as per Harold Camping… . (Sun square Neptune) delusional and far fetched which must explain my current penchant desire to go out and live a little too much with my day timer stacked with activities (Wine tasting Monday, Hike Tuesday, Gallery hopping Wednesday and watch the Hockey game, Thursday get all my gardening done and go shopping and rack up my credit card, go drive recklessly and then a really rich disgustingly hedonistic indulgent Friday … and go out with a bang in pure Taurus style before it’s all over. The Greeks have reached 14.29 debt –“til debt to us part”…how is that for a Taurus Scorpio axiom.
The current line up of Taurus planets takes us from the impetuous, impatient Aries scramble we had the last month into the calm and serene stillness and peaceful pastures of Taurus. Venus and Mercury just moved into Taurus to join Mars. Taurus energy is slow and prodding, of the earth element and Venus ruled. Taurus is one step at a time, one foot in front of the other. It is rare you see Taurus energy accident prone. The careful methodical and even paced gentleness and softness of Venus ruled Taurus likes to languish and take its time. Venus ruled, the pace can become lazy and long to warm up. It’s a good time to let yourself rest and go at a snails pace- a respite from the frazzled and heady forward motion of Aries in its previous momentum.
Taurus is deliberate and determined as well as stubborn and persistent and patient to get anything done. Have an Aries start something but count on a Taurus to execute and follow through. With Venus Mars Mercury and then Jupiter in Taurus as the focus the next few weeks-relationships and communications will be practical, realistic and pragmatic. Passions will run deep as Venus Mars trines Pluto around May 23 with much sensuality and seduction. With Pluto in Capricorn, earth predominates, leaving financial success as the quotion or potion that might entice any romantic gesture. The dating mating game will be a slow dance sure with romance and steady flow with consistent affections. Venus is exalted in Taurus enjoying luxury, comfort, beauty and pleasure. Relationships will have the opportunity for a smooth and peaceful flow with ease and tranquility. It’s no wonder spring and Taurus is the time of gardening and flowers as Venus and earth Taurus is nature oriented wanting to be close to the earth, trees and plants.
The Sun will move into Gemini May 21 as it squares Neptune and sextiles Uranus and then moves to trine Saturn as we experience the Solar Eclipse on June 1 moving toward a Lunar Eclipse to follow on June 15. The coming eclipse activity the next month are a South Node emphasis which foretells a time of potential reversals, revisiting the past and reviewing. The south node emphasis is rather stultified and not the usual forward motion of a North Node eclipse tending to be more restricted and backwards. Being the South Node is in Gemini-Mercury ruled, we can see these reversals and stalls around anything related to communication, travel (short trips), health wise to do with the lungs, arms, hands-I know I am suffering with the worst shoulder ache-being a Gemini, I am certainly feeling the pinch!
