Uranus-Pluto square \u2013 Phase 3<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

At the time of the Uranus-Pluto square last Monday, a tornado struck the town of Moore near Oklahoma City.\u00a0 Extreme weather is one of the possibilities where the Uranus-Pluto square is at its most intense.\u00a0 Someone asked me recently if I do weather astrology\u2026I make notes, but I don\u2019t research and monitor it as such as it is so complex \u2013 for instance, if there is going to be a tornado, where will it strike? \u00a0It is easier to research after the event, looking at the regional charts.\u00a0 In this case, the Uranus-Pluto square directly contacted the chart of Oklahoma State, with Pluto exactly square to the Oklahoma State Moon and Uranus exactly conjunct the Oklahoma State Moon.\u00a0 In 1999 there was a similar tornado in the same area, and Pluto was exactly conjunct the Oklahoma State Venus.\u00a0 So the transits to the Oklahoma State chart are worth monitoring in this respect, as I am sure U.S. and Oklahoma Astrologers were doing.<\/p>\n

Woolwich Murder<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

So we followed the story of<\/span> the Oklahoma tragedy, rescue and aftermath, which continued to dominate our headlines here, until Wednesday afternoon.\u00a0 It was halfway between the Uranus-Pluto square and the upcoming Full Moon eclipse of Friday.\u00a0 At 2.20 p.m..on a London street, an English soldier, Drummer Lee Rigby, was decapitated by two Moslem extremists. This violence was transmitted on the 6 pm news \u2013 there is no shielding of children and grandchildren before the watershed any more it seems.\u00a0 I have always been against violence in films, but feel we need to know what is going on in the world, and the content of our news broadcasts is becoming more and more shocking.\u00a0 So much so, that many people have stopped watching the news.<\/p>\n

There are so many strange questions around this attack, e.g. whether or not it can be labelled as a terrorist attack.\u00a0 It seemed more spontaneous than the average terrorist attack, in that the perpetrators ran over the soldier, then got out of the car and attacked him.\u00a0 He was wearing a \u201cHelp for Heroes\u201d t shirt, and part of their motive was that the U.K. forces should leave Afghanistan.\u00a0 But then they hung around until the Police came \u2013 a very unusual thing to do.\u00a0 On top of possibly being influenced by the teachings of extreme Islamist leaders such as Anjem Choudary, they may have had drugs in their system, or have a form of mental illness.\u00a0 We live in a society that is becoming increasingly violent, in a world that is becoming increasingly violent.\u00a0 Is violence itself a form of mental illness?<\/p>\n

In looking at this event astrologically, we have very little to work with.\u00a0 We have no birth time for the victim, Lee Rigby.\u00a0 We have a chart for one of the murderers, Michael Adebolajo.\u00a0 We also have a chart for the time of the event.\u00a0 There is the U.K. chart, and the chart of Home Secretary Theresa May who seems to be having to work very hard on such issues at the moment, almost being willing to ditch the Human Rights Act in order to get Abu Qatada out of the country for instance.<\/p>\n

Michael Adebolajo has Sun conjunct Uranus in Sagittarius, unpredictable and likely to go overboard about ideas.\u00a0 He also has Mercury conjunct Neptune, which could also make him mentally impressionable.\u00a0 His Venus and Mars are in idealistic Aquarius too, adding to the unpredictablilty.\u00a0 He is energetic, with Sun exactly sextile Mars, and that is his main Warrior signature.\u00a0 At the time of the murder, Pluto was opposite his Moon (stirring emotion), but we do not know how close it was as we do not have his birth time. His Mars opposes the U.K. Neptune and his Nodal Axis squares the U.K. Mars, so not a good compatibility with this country.\u00a0 The third Uranus-Pluto square hits the U,K. chart directly, with Pluto opposing exactly the natal Pluto and Uranus square exactly the natal Pluto. Saturn is squaring Theresa May\u2019s Uranus, so she is having to develop her indomitable spirit, and deal with the role of the unexpected in her (and our) life.<\/p>\n

One of the tragedies of this event is that it has set back the cause of peaceful relations in our society in relation to the Muslim community.\u00a0 The main tragedy of course is for the poor family of Lee Rigby.<\/p>\n

Aspects<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Today the Sun squares Neptune, and sensitivities may be raw, or you may be confused about your initial direction for the week.\u00a0 Especially if contemplating the events of the last week\u2026<\/p>\n

But the aspects for this forthcoming week are mild in comparison, so there may be a respite from fast and furious news headlines.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow Mercury conjuncts Jupiter at 23 degrees Gemini, and you may actually hear some good news.\u00a0 This aspect is good for sales and business, and for disseminating information on a wide scale.\u00a0 It is good for education, and for broadening the horizons through travel.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday (28th<\/sup>) Venus conjuncts Jupiter at the same degree, and this is a happy clappy aspect, which we need right now, but some may not trust it!\u00a0 Centre yourself, meditate if possible, and extend good will to all \u2013 don\u2019t waste it wondering if it could be true that we have a good aspect.<\/p>\n

On Friday (31st<\/sup>) Mercury enters Cancer and we leave behind the logic of Mercury in Gemini, and become more soft-focussed mentally and able to incorporate feeling into our ideas. Hard factual thinking gives way to sidestepping and viewing from a different angle, in order to take a another angle on issues that may have been difficult to confront lately.<\/p>\n

On the same day, Mars enters Gemini, so determined courses of action (Mars in Taurus) give way to a cooler more logical approach to the use of physical energies.\u00a0 We are combining brain with brawn, so we have not lost our rational side completely.<\/p>\n

What starts to emerge by the end of the week are a couple of Grand Trines for next week, which is more to look forward to.<\/p>\n
