My Father<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Friday 22nd<\/sup> November we said a fond farewell to my father, who was 90 years old last January.\u00a0 He had died when the Uranus-Pluto square at 9 degrees of Aries-Capricorn was exactly transiting his natal Sun-Pluto opposition in Capricorn-Cancer.\u00a0 He was the gentlest of Capricornians, and his Humanist send-off went beautifully.<\/p>\n

John F. Kennedy<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was an interesting confluence this week to be celebrating 50 years of Dr. Who (23\/11\/63) at the same time as the 50 year anniversary of the assassination of John F. Kennedy, a popular TV time and space show arising timewise from the ashes of one of the most devastating moments in U.S. History.<\/p>\n

The most asked question after \u201cWho shot JFK?\u201d has always been \u201cWhere were you when you heard of his assassination?\u201d\u00a0 I remember seeing the shocking event on television as a13-year old.\u00a0 At our family gathering on Friday, I was reminded of a story. about my uncle, my father\u2019s brother.\u00a0 He was once asked by a New York cabbie \u201cWhere were you when you heard that John F. Kennedy was shot?\u201d\u00a0 He quickly retorted \u201cWhy?\u00a0\u00a0 Am I a suspect?\u201d<\/p>\n

At the assassination of John F. Kennedy, Pluto (the assassination) was trine by transit to his North Node (karma), suggesting an unavoidable end.\u00a0 Saturn (loss) was also trine his Venus (love), separating him from the family he loved and the nation who loved him.<\/p>\n

The Chart of 22 November 1963<\/strong><\/p>\n

The shock of the event of 22nd<\/sup> November 1963 is shown in an exact T-square between Mercury (an event of worldwide media coverage), Uranus (shock) and Chiron (crisis and wounding).\u00a0 In addition, Saturn (a sad event) was conjunct the Ascendant in Aquarius.\u00a0 Venus was also conjunct Mars, depicting poignancy over a charismatic figure.\u00a0 The Moon was positioned in early Aquarius, again emphasizing the element of the unexpected.<\/p>\n

Dr Who<\/strong><\/p>\n

The birth of a new sci-fi programme, Dr Who, the next day has its Moon positioned in late Aquarius, and in this case we are seeing the excitement of a futuristic venture.\u00a0 The conjunction of Venus and Mars brings intrigue and stimulation into the mix.\u00a0 Saturn is not at the Ascendant, but at the Midheaven, possibly showing solid foundations for what was to be an enduring institution about a Time (Saturn) Lord. \u00a0The Mercury-Uranus-Chiron T-square finds a different role.\u00a0 The shock factor is still there, in Mercury square Uranus.\u00a0 Perhaps Chiron is fulfilled in a more healing role, that of satisfying a need in the human psyche to be terrified of daleks. Toy daleks were de rigueur in the 1960s household, and maybe Chiron opposite Uranus is their astrological calling card.<\/p>\n

Aspects<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Sun squares Neptune today and you could be forgiven for feeling a little lost on your path.\u00a0 You may be at a crossroads, or be letting go of a 3-month phase of your life, and may not be sure of your next step or orientation.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday (26th<\/sup>)\u00a0 Mercury conjuncts Saturn and in contrast your mind will be focused, certainly on what you need to do now – you\u2019ll have a plan.\u00a0 There may be practical affairs to attend to, as distinct from the lackadaisical air on Sunday.\u00a0 So it\u2019s soft focus on Sunday and hard focus on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Moving on to Thursday (28th<\/sup>) overall it\u2019s a good day, starting early.\u00a0 Though Venus opposes Jupiter (the most harmless of oppositions), Mercury also sextiles Venus and trines Jupiter, so this can be seen as a sparkling line-up.<\/p>\n

Mercury first of all sextiles Venus, so begin the day with creative writing (or just writing as in Julia Cameron\u2019s morning pages and her book \u201cThe right to write\u201d).\u00a0 Diplomacy (persuading the cat to wait until you have eaten breakfast) and Caf\u00e9 culture also work as a template for the day:<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the dime stores and bus stations
\nPeople talk over situations
\nRead books, and repeat quotations
\nDraw conclusions on the wall\u201d<\/p>\n

~ Bob Dylan<\/p>\n

Secondly, Mercury trines Jupiter, and sales, travel and study are favoured: wheeler-dealing combined\u00a0 with charm will work today.<\/p>\n

Finally, at Noon Venus will oppose Jupiter.\u00a0 Someone may have seen through the surface charm, or you may have laid it on too thickly, but the two parties should be able to smile about it, and share a chuckle.<\/p>\n

Saturday (30th<\/sup>) brings a trine between the Sun and Uranus.\u00a0 More sparkle today, though of a different hue.\u00a0 Do something out of the ordinary that day \u2013 it should be successful!\u00a0 Telepathy, group work, Astrology, electrical engineering and time travelling are all supported by this trine.\u00a0\u00a0 With Sun and Uranus in Fire signs, a spot of firewalking would be good to try.\u00a0 I signed up for a session 20 years ago, but my daughter wouldn\u2019t let me, so I can\u2019t actually speak from experience.<\/p>\n
