Ed Tamblin

I was poking around to see what other astrologers were saying about the various charts associated with the Japanese Earthquake, Tsunami and now Nuclear Plants.
Apparently, there has been another explosion. I believe 3 out of 4 are potentially melting. And my question: Where are they melting? Why is water leaking out? What is going to happen if anything is released into the ocean? I know the Pacific Ocean is big but is it big enough for five meltdowns?????

This is so big I almost can't wrap my head around it.

Anyway, as I poked around I came across astrolgoer Ed Tamblin's predictions for 2011 and although he was focused on the New Moons of January and February he brought up the Nuclear Problem and a tie in to Chernobyl. Mars of course like the January, February New Moons was very much a part of Pisces New Moon. Read Ed's piece and see if it gives you chills.

Neptune in Pisces A VERY new beginning

So, today my beautiful Pisces friend, Carol and I were discussing the events in Japan and it led us to next month's huge move by Neptune. On April 4th Neptune will go to his home sign, Pisces. It has been 160 years since the last time Neptune was in Pisces, one thing I always remembered from my youth when I was studying Astrology that I thought it was absolutely perfect that photography was created when Neptune was in Pisces. Perfect, because photography is associated with both Pisces and Neptune. Remember that imagery, a world beyond a world that is what we get with Pisces and to a certain extent Neptune. There is so much we can expect when the move takes place some of it will be inspiring. Some of it unworldly.

Carol turned me on to a great write up by Adrian Ross Duncan from last fall. I encourage you to give it a read. Here is a snippet:

This process will take place in stages, with initial awareness and concern as Neptune dips its toe in the Piscean ocean on April 4, 2011, retreating to Aquarius again from August 5, 2011 to February 3, 2012, after which time there will be 13 straight years with Neptune in Pisces. Early in this period there will be good governance reflected by Saturn in Libra, which can be characterized as the time of President Obama.

It is when Saturn moves into Scorpio, in reception with Pluto in Capricorn and trining Neptune, that things get interesting. This combination is a strong counterpoint to the survivalist dictates of the Uranus/Pluto square, and shows a serious mobilization of state compassion. Generally this will coincide with left-leaning governments worldwide, though there could just as well be right-wing quasi-dictatorships. It is worth remembering that the year Neptune entered Pisces for the first time - 1847 - the Communist Manifesto was published with the memorable words “Workers of the world, unite!”

A thought on the building square Uranus/Pluto

As you may remember last spring and summer Uranus moved out of Pisces and got all the way to Zero Aries. During that period when it was only a few minutes in (that is Minutes of an arc, not minutes as in time), it let Pluto in Capricorn know right away, that it meant business. As you can recall this was the spring and summer of BP oil spill. The oil gushed all over the Gulf of Mexico and as those images of birds and sea life covered in black goo were seen by the world--daily, didn't we all take pause and think, "how much petroleum do I use?" Not just fueling our car but what about the plastic and the transportation of items that we buy? Kind of hard not to look at that mess and not say, "What is my part?"

Late Summer Uranus retrograded back into Pisces where it stayed until Friday. Several hours after it moved into Aries we have the Nuclear Power Plant crisis in Japan. So, we are back once again on the issue of Energy. Energy issues in the Gulf in the summer and now in Japan. But not really---petroleum is a global issues, nuclear power plants are all across the world.

As I indicated from 2012-2015 there will be seven squares between Uranus and Pluto. The first one will be in June 2012 but as we know it is not limited to that month, the tension starts now, just as it did last summer.

Feeling helpless, feeling impotent, rethinking our choices, not sure what to do, where do we fit in (Square) and how is big business and government (Cap) helping or hurting these issues? What do we need to rethink, or shake up to make needed changes (Uranus) and how will we find new territory, new opportunities and are we willing to put our boots on the ground to do it(Aries)?

And it is not just about an earthquake and tsunami, potential shut down of governments and overhauls of other governments. these are all part of the mix when Aries and Cap go off on each other. And what real effective changes will come out on the other side? I dunno, but something will be there. Where are you feeling your own changes? Is it starting to show up? Are you getting prompts? You shold be if you are listening. Get your listening devices ready, your psyche is probably talking to you.

This is our weather cast. It is not the entire forecast for the next three years but it is a strong front of changes. But you already felt it, right?

More on Sednai Japan- Astrology

The situation in Japan is naturally fluid and the first images were of quake and tsunami damage but as yesterday progressed and Uranus finally moved into Aries the talk and the focus shifted to the crisis building at one of the nuclear power plants and by the end of the day (PST) full on discussion of a "Meltdown" was being bandied about. Additionally, news broke that there was now a second power plant in trouble.

As we discussed earlier, the minute Uranus moved into Aries it began to dig in with Pluto in Capricorn and I said point blank we we know it right away. Pluto rules atomic bombs and in fact a relatively few years after Pluto was discovered, The Manhattan project was launched which of course brought us the first atomic bomb. Of course, atomic energy including Nuclear power is also connected to Pluto.

When Pluto spends time in a sign he will find the weakest spot and expose it for all to see. Pluto was in Scorpio, Aids went Pandemic. Pluto in Sagittarius, gave us Columbine and 9/11. Were our lives ever the same after these incidents? Did we ever know of 'safe' sex before the 1984? Ask a kid in high school who walks through metal detectors every day about Columbine effects. And there is a myriad of ways our lives have changed since 9/11. Remember, Pluto rules "masses". It is not a small group of people invoved when Pluto is activated, it is whole societies or large populations if not the whole world.

Of course, Pluto in Capricorn, so far has been about the recession (which will be labeled The Great Recession soon, I am sure). But we are still in the beginning stages of Pluto in Cap and as a reminder, Capricorn's domain includes, infrastructure, government and big business. Capricorn is also an earth sign and since its time in Capricorn (2008) the earthquakes have been some of the strongest of the century. Chili, Haiti, New Zealand and now Japan. And of course, Pluto rules volcanoes and what happened in Iceland last year with the volcano spewing ash virtually closing Europe's air space--is a perfect example how even though we are in the 21st century we can go back to 19th century in a split second. Ask everyone in the wake of the quakes and they scramble for water and food.

So, now we have Uranus out there in Aries looking for new ground, new ways, new boundaries, pushing the proverbial envelope. What is new? Where can I go? What is a new way to do things? Warring for the right to grow. These are the energies of Uranus. Old is not revered with Uranus in Aries. And actually, Pluto in Capricorn is redefining 'old'. Now these two are doing battle creating new areas for change. It will not be easy. We will be shaken at our core but we need to breath through the changes because we will make it through. We will come out of it with some changes but we will come out of it.

Astrology of Sednai, Japan Earthquake

Sendai Earthquake
March 11 2:46pm
38N32
142E36

Okay, I am sure those of you who read my Pisces New Moon, might have felt as gobsmacked as I did when I woke up this morning and heard about the Sendai Earthquake. "Holy S*@!T " I said to my husband, "The Pisces New Moon chart (earlier post) is so in effect." We know Uranus and Pluto are both connected to earthquakes--Uranus is the shake and Pluto is the fault" is how I like to describe it. And because I live in 'earthquake country' I am bit more on this topic.

Also as indicated a few days ago Uranus was conjunct Mercury who was conjunct sun and moon---and Uranus was still in Pisces. A few hours later today it moved into Aries but at the time of the quake it was still in Pisces. Let's remember back when Uranus first went into Pisces in 2003/2004 we started off with a bang with The Indian Ocean Earthquake and Tsunami and now here we are on the last day of Uranus in Pisces and we get both another huge quake and tsunami. Katrina and other hurricanes also fit in perfectly and frankly, the flooding everywhere has usually been punctuated by aspects to Uranus.

In my article I reminded everyone that Pisces rules the oceans and in fact I even brought up the Mariana Trench. This trench is the split in the floor of the ocean between the subduction of two tectonic plates ---right next to Japan. The quake could have happened anywhere of course but I am kind of scratching my own head over my mention of the Mariana trench.

Anyway, today's event chart has a big fat square with Neptune that can bring its own unworldly element and Mercury conjunct Jupiter square Pluto-- the world will be seeing footage for days as more of it is revealed. Personally, the wave of water on the airport tarmac I found eerie.

Of course we will be writing more about Uranus as he moves into Aries but the people in Japan will not long forget his final hours in Pisces.

Pisces New Moon--Dive or wash up on shore, it is your choice!

March 4, 3:36pm Pisces New Moon.

As always I am screeching in with the New Moon report. (Please lord next lifetime not so many things on my to list.) And it is going to be a very interesting 28 days. Things will feel out of our control and changes are a plenty. But if we are sensible and tune into our own relationship with spirit we will see that there is a divine plan in all of it. And if we don't actually see the plan we are going to have to trust that it is there. Ah, there is a Pisces, word, "Trust."

You will find the whole report on Margaret Wendt's website. But here is snippet.

“Permission to dive, Sir”

When I was younger and fancied myself a beach chick, (we are talking many, many, many years ago), I spent a lot of time in Southern California beaches. And when the waves were big my friends and I would love to go out and swim. What we learned early is that if there is a big wave about to pound down the only answer is to dive and swim under it and by the time you come back up for air the wave has passed over and is on its way to the shore. If you did not dive and decided to ‘ride’ it on the surface—well that was always disaster. Smashed around, water in your nose and mouth, bathing suits all over the place, and eventually you end up in pieces on the shore. The key with Pisces and its big waves is to dive—that is, go for faith and trust. By doing that we can ride the storms and waves with less damage. Know that we will come out of whatever mess on the other side. Prepare to dive this 28 day cycle.

Mars, Mercury and Uranus are in the soup

The New Moon in Pisces has the Sun and the Moon conjunct Mars and Mercury. This is no small aspect especially for Pisces. Mars is the warrior planet ready to put up his dukes and fight. Mercury is the smartest planet in the room. His brain is always on and he is communicating a lot. We should expect a lunar month filled with a lot of action and perhaps a ton of fighting words. Both planets are trying to release a lot of energy. People are trying to let off steam but at the same time they are cleaning up stuff from the whole year. Perhaps people are getting stuff off their chest. Or perhaps they see where they need to head and they have got to end stuff now to get where they need to “get.”

Remember, this is the final month before we do our Treasure Maps. For those who have not done one before, Treasure Maps are collages that we make on Aries new moon that sets the goals which we want to accomplish in the new year (yes, for us New Year’s begin in April). But before we get to that New Moon in April we need to finish up last year’s goals. This does not mean we have to rush it and make stuff happen. (That is not the way it works with Treasure Maps). But what we do need to do is clear out the garbage and tie up loose ends. How perfect that we have Mars and Mercury here to help us. Mercury will have a thought that will probably come from some unworldly Pisces place and next thing you know we will call up Mars to do the work. It could be a lot of work or it could be small work but whatever it is, it will be done forcefully and swiftly. We will all feel the immediacy of situations. Or as I like to say, we’ll be “on-it-doggon-it”.

Additionally, Mercury is conjunct Uranus. This brings additional weird thoughts and odd situations up for all of us to process. Weird communications will be in the air. Strange encounters, perhaps an unworldly moment or two will pop up. What do you do with the weird energy? See if it helps you as you clear out the junk of the last year. See if there is something that points to where you need to head. Perhaps the weird encounter will give you a new twist on your faith. And maybe this new depth to faith will be the energy you have needed for a long time to let go. Because at the end of the day the key to Pisces is an overused phrase but very apropos: “Let go and let god.”




Chaos is in charge!

So, we are in a mystical soup all 28 days but in the middle of this climate Uranus the planet of big changes is rising out of the water and into fire. On March 11 Uranus will enter Aries .....

Nodes are blowing again...

On March 3, the north and south nodes will move out of Capricorn and Cancer and into Sagittarius and Gemini. This will bring in a whole new energy and one that I would normally welcome but before it gets, welcoming it is going to get 'interesting'. And I put that in quotes because it is more like the Chinese proverb, "may you live in interesting times" kind of interesting.

Everything going on in the Mideast speaks of Uranus getting ready to break out of Pisces and into Aries. Can't spell Unrest without the U in Uranus. But strangely as North Node moved into the Zero Capricorn and started to head for Sag (yes, the nodes go backwards) it too is supporting the need for changes. Great, fiery changes. I remember the last time the North Node was in Sag was in between 1992 and 1994 and that brought in Big Bill from Little Rock. What is the next two years going to bring us? Heck it already feels like a three ring circus soon it will be three ring Cirque Du Soleil. Which is of course circus squared.

With the nodes the desire is to push us towards the North. It is harder but it is what we need to do. When 9/11 took place the north node was in Cancer which put the emphasis on home and family and away from business and career. And as I have said a jillion times here, almost everyone who died on 9/11, died at work. Didn't we all hug our loved ones a little harder on that day? When hurricane Katrina blew in the north node was in Aries. Weren't we all desperate for Aries leadership?

For the last eighteen months we have been processing North Node in Capricorn where we are desperate for responsibility and god knows, tightening the belt which is total Capricorn.

I will be curious to see what it means financially for North Node to go into party animal, lamp shade wearing, spend thrift "Honey, it is steak tonight!" Sag.
But besides the money flowing, (and more to the point) Sag, is truth telling living the truth and being in the truth. Which for many people is easier said than done.
The challenge is to avoid doing the opposite (Gemini) which is intellectualizing and rationalizing everything. It will all make sense in your (little) mind but in your gut you know how you are spinning it. Telling the truth is a pain but NOT telling the truth will hurt a hell of a lot more. And this includes finding the Truth in Religion. Aren't their universal truths in all of them?

Look back at your life to 92-94 and see where you were breaking free, getting out and stretching, perhaps you even moved to a new location. How were you being real and true? And how were you misbehaving? How were the little white lies? And above all---were you caught up in Cheap Talk?!!!
