Dear Friends,

I have been looking closely at the transits approaching the charts of my clients, and as I see the serious picture unfolding, I had to write to alert you.

In my last post, I announced my new subscription newsletter and that I was about to set up a pay-pay account.  Unfortunately, I have not yet been able to set up any pay-pal account because of the ongoing influx of calls as well as my trust issue in dealing with financial matters on the internet. My own Moon, Mercury and Pluto planetary picture is always looking for the hidden boggy-man, and when I saw this upcoming planetary picture my paranoia got worse, if that’s possible.
 
I’m sure many of you have read that the world is going to hell in a hand basket because we are about to experience a cardinal T-square.  What does this mean?  And where can we relocate to so we can avoid the fall out?  Forget it, there is no hiding. The cardinal phenomenon is already at work as I begin to write this on Wednesday July 21, 2010 - at the same time Saturn has moved onto the cardinal axis.
 
At this moment, we have Uranus, Saturn at 0 cardinal. Come the evening of July 29th, Mars will join the pack, then Hades Joins in the party with Saturn and Uranus already on the cardinal axis. One interpretation of this planetary picture:  a sudden occurrence that involves murder, and or deaths.
 
Some of you reading this may be wondering why this is so different from any other planet changing into any other sign? Outer planets such as Saturn and Uranus pass an area in the zodiac very slowly. When an outer planet goes retrograde and passes over an area in the zodiac with three times the energy of that planet, its felt with much more intensity as in this case of transits of Saturn and Uranus going back and forth over the cardinal axis.
 
What is so special about the cardinal axis? The cardinal axis is the world at large.  It could be your neighborhood, your city, state, nation or continent, etc. On 2/2/1984 in Bhopal India there was a chemical disaster in a Union Carbide plant.  Two to three thousand died, and 20 thousand were either, blinded, crippled or permanently sickened. I, along with my dear friend and fellow astrologer Diana K. Rosenberg, wrote an article about this event for the NCGR Journal, Winter 1985-86.

 In doing my research, I found that worse industrial disasters had actually occurred that never came to the attention the public. Those disasters stayed hidden because when they occurred, the cardinal axis was not brought into play.  On February 2, 1984 Neptune and Mercury were at 0 Capricorn, otherwise known as the cardinal axis.
 
Neptune rules poisons and gases, as Mercury rules air and news.  Combine these two planets on the cardinal axis and you have poison gases carried in the air that the world hears or reads about. Union Carbide never recovered from the Bhopal incident, which brings me to another meaning of Neptune;  it dissolves or it causes what it touches to disappear.  
 
Let’s  get back to what the 2010 transits of Saturn Uranus on the cardinal axis  tell us.  The world has to sit and wait till Mars joins the party and then watch as the sparks fly. When you have Mars, Saturn, Uranus and Hades on the cardinal axis, there will be a major disaster that could result in a few deaths somewhere in the world.

This could or will occur sometime between Thursday July 29th and August 3rd, 2010. The afternoon of August 2nd looks like the most dangerous day of all because Saturn + Mars = 0 cardinal, Uranus, and Hades. To top it off, Mercury will be 22 ½ to the cardinal axis, and this says that whatever is happening will be big news. There could be a hurricane or tornado disaster that results in lose of life. There will also be big bad news having to do with the stock market as Jupiter and Pluto get pulled into the picture by August 2nd and 3rd, creating a planetary picture of Jupiter, Pluto + Uranus, Hades = Mars and Saturn. To add the icing on the cake, on August 6th  Mars triggers the lunar eclipse of June 26th.  We will see Venus get pulled into the picture as it comes onto the cardinal axis close to midnight of August 7th. Later that day, the Sun comes to 15 degrees fixed which is also on the cardinal axis.  
 
The New Moon occurring at 11:08 PM EDT on August 9th will be making a 135º aspect to Jupiter and both are at the midpoint of Pluto and Saturn. This is not very good for the financial picture, especially since Uranus, Hades and the cardinal axis are still there. To make matters even worse, Mercury will go retrograde on August 20th.

I would appreciate your feedback on this — and look forward to your opinion, experience, or observance of this planetary meeting, a convention, on the cardinal axis.

Transneptunian planets that this system of astrology is known for including:

Cupido: Family, marriage, groups and community, society as a social group, art and artist colony. The negative side is clannishness and exclusivity.

Hades: Secrets, matters that can be nasty, vile or evil. We all know this can be contained in secrets. Hades also has to do with the three major professions: medicine, especially surgeons; astrology; and prostitution (not necessarily in that order). I, for one, think we should include legal practices as a Hades manifestation. Lawyers actions are sometimes more criminal than the activity of their clients. Hades also has to do with poverty and neediness. Our newspapers and news broadcasts are working hard to make us aware that no one is immune to the effect of Hades.

Zeus: Fire, machinery, rockets explosives. Power to rise above, productive performances, creative energies. Goal oriented. Fearless and independent. Negative side is misdirected or out of control energy like rage. Overconfidence and egotism. Procreation rather that creation.



Kronos: Ruler, leader, father, master, king, nobility. Authority, judge, D.A. head doctor, the boss man/woman. Head of state, police. Independence and mastery. Kronos is anyone who is looked up to and held in high esteem.


Apollon: A combination of Jupiter and Gemini, and translated into mass communications and/or great success. It also has to do with far and distant places. It is commerce, trade and science. A strong Apollon one can get away with murder. Great powers of intellect, and multiplicity. Negative, overconfidence, overlooked details, not seeing the trees from the forest.



Admetos: Beginning and ending of life. It is the womb and the tomb. Closed in spaces like closets, boxes and coffins. It is cycles combined with closed in spaces washing machines come to mind. It represents fences that enclose a space. Most Uranian astrologers have a strong Admetos, because we use dials that turn and use focus and deep concentration. Plus raw materials, landfills, real estate and durability.


Vulcanus: This transneptunian represents great strength, powerful force, and volcanic eruption. It is vitality and good recuperative powers. Omnipotence, power plants and storms. Violent and out of control energies is Vulcanus’s negative side.


Poseidon: Stands for enlightenment, spiritual and intellectual wisdom. This transeptunian planet represents illumination. You will find that inventors have a prominent Poseidon. Religious leaders, psychics, spiritualists, mediums, and prophets have a strong Poseidon. It is also found in charts of those who are in the spotlight like performers and movie actors.
