George Floyd 2<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Black Lives Matter, almost a year on<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Almost a year ago, the world watched as George Floyd was murdered in Minneapolis by a white police officer, during the course of eight minutes.\u00a0 Everyone hoped it would be a turning point in race relations, and there were reverberations around the world, not least in the U.K.\u00a0 This week, a landmark verdict was given in the trial of the perpetrator Derek Chauvin, guilty on three counts.\u00a0 It has been seen as a long-awaited sign of hope in the cause of Black Lives Matter.<\/p>\n

George Floyd\u2019s birth chart<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Re-post from last year:<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

What do we know of George Floyd?\u00a0 We know that he had five children, and was a caring provider for them, and lost his job due to the coronavirus crisis.\u00a0 We know that he has lobbied for a change in the gun laws.\u00a0 We know that at the time he was being apprehended, his crime was attempting to pass off a fake banknote.\u00a0 We know he was not a violent or dangerous criminal, therefore not remotely deserving to lose his life.\u00a0 The actions of the policemen were extremely disproportionate to the crime.\u00a0 He tested positive for the virus, but had been recovering.<\/p>\n

The first thing which leaps out to me in his natal chart is an exact Venus-Neptune conjunction in Sagittarius, conjuring up a phrase often used about him, that he was a \u201cgentle giant\u201d (at 6 foot 4 inches).\u00a0 Another nuance of this conjunction is that of \u201cglobal martyrdom\u201d, where Sagittarius = global and Venus exactly conjunct Neptune = martyrdom.\u00a0 Another aspect in his chart which is definitely problematic is Saturn exactly square Pluto.\u00a0 Mars square Jupiter gave exuberance and Jupiter trine Pluto a more powerful side (playing basketball in his youth).\u00a0 Saturn on his South Node in Cancer may have caused him to bring through some difficult past life karma, and Pluto square his Nodal Axis may show that his death has been used karmically to show humanity a profound lesson.<\/p>\n

Derek Chauvin<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

There is a lot of confusion within the birth chart of Derek Chauvin.\u00a0 Firstly, he has Sun in Pisces, ruled by Neptune.\u00a0 That Sun is closely squared by Mars, implying that he has a strong temper, which may be difficult to control.\u00a0 Then Neptune squares his Mercury, bringing a great deal of mental confusion to his make up on top of that.\u00a0 He has 0 Earth planets, which adds to his lack of grounding, and 7 planets in Water (very unusual) indicating a very high degree of emotionality.\u00a0 His Jupiter square Saturn can be ham fisted, and Saturn square Chiron may lack the skills of healing (i.e. in not having the presence of mind to try to resuscitate his victim on the spot).\u00a0 The whole picture shows someone who is not in control of his emotions.\u00a0 That he has become notorious in a public murder is hinted at by his Moon (emotion; public) conjunct his North Node (karma) in Scorpio (a sign associated with death and rebirth).\u00a0 George Floyd cannot be reborn, but his memory is living on in a profound sense.<\/p>\n

Synastry with George Floyd<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

A karmic connection is clearly shown in their Synastry (compatibility).\u00a0 George Floyd’s South Node (past life karma) is exactly conjunct Derek Chauvin’s Mars (anger); thus it would seem George Floyd may have been destined to bring out Derek Chauvin’s weakness (misdirected anger; a badly aspected natal Mars), and Chauvin was unable to control his impulse.\u00a0 Floyd’s Neptune was also square Chauvin’s Venus (social confusion).<\/p>\n

Transits at the time of the murder<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Chauvin’s transits at the time of the murder\u00a0 included Jupiter opposite his Saturn in Cancer (literally, over-restraint!) and Pluto square his Chiron in Aries (a horrendous expression of inhumanity).\u00a0 Of course, while referring to it as a murder, I realize that he may appeal.<\/p>\n

Transits at the Guilty Verdict<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Chauvin’s transits at the time of the verdict this week show Chiron opposite his natal Pluto (a reckoning), Pluto opposite his Saturn (the guilty verdict itself), the South Node on his Neptune and ruler (a karmic reckoning).\u00a0 For anyone who has any of these transits currently – don’t stress – other interpretations are available…!<\/p>\n

Transits for U.S. chart at this time<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

How much of a turning point is this for the U.S.?\u00a0\u00a0 Jupiter is on its Moon in Aquarius in the 3rd House at the moment; they have a new leader at the helm putting out new policies.\u00a0 But there are also confusions, e.g. Neptune square its Neptune.\u00a0 The U.S. has been undergoing its Pluto Return, and this landmark court ruling I feel is part of that process of transformation.\u00a0 The South Node is also on its Ascendant in Sagittarius, putting an emphasis on reparations for past actions and omissions.<\/p>\n

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

This morning served us a double dose of Saturnian reality, with first Venus square Saturn then Mercury square Saturn.<\/p>\n

Venus square Saturn: Maybe you were wrestling with a conundrum overnight possibly triggered by events last night…Maybe you felt let down by someone or you disappointed yourself in some way.\u00a0 Forgiveness could be a solution, in that case.\u00a0 Your dreams may have held a key to the way forward. \u00a0We need a great deal of patience in our human interactions, and some may be dealing with rejection or sadness.\u00a0 We need to acknowledge those feelings before we can move on.<\/p>\n

After rising this morning, and while getting going with the business of the day, we may be finding it heavy going (unless we are having a total Sunday lie-in), submerged in paperwork (left over from last week’s schedule), or subject to delays or technical hitches. \u00a0Patience may be the key here too, but more on the mental level, and in communications or travel.\u00a0 More haste less speed may be a useful mantra to follow.\u00a0 So, for the early and mid part of the day, Forgiveness plus patience is the formula.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You may find that things come together more easily in the evening, especially late evening when Mercury conjoins Venus.\u00a0 This conjunction is ideal for socializing, conversation, artistic or literary endeavours, or negotiations.\u00a0 Your communications will have an artistic flair, so it’s a good time to get creative.\u00a0 You might even find that the struggles of earlier in the day have added grist to the mill, or lessons which enhance your evening activities or performance.<\/p>\n

Tuesday (27th) brings a Full Moon at 7 degrees Scorpio, during the early hours.\u00a0 You may feel the emotional tension building up the night before.\u00a0 This is the most emotionally intense Full Moon of the year, and it is a Supermoon which may magnify that.\u00a0 Something which came up in conversation the night before could set you on a profound journey.\u00a0 You will need to be in touch with your deepest emotions and be constructively authentic.\u00a0 There may be a focus on shared finances and an attempt to balance material resources and needs between two people.\u00a0 With the Moon opposite the Sun in Taurus, values and shared values may be the current issue on your mind.<\/p>\n

In the evening, just as you may laying such issues to rest, Pluto goes Stationary, prior to turning Retrograde.\u00a0 This may give you a fresh set of preoccupations, or remind you of earlier ones.\u00a0 You may recognize a psychological theme where you have been making headway, but now need to revise your steps, perhaps look further into the past.\u00a0 If you’ve been knitting, you may need to unravel a few rows, for instance.\u00a0 Eventually, you will recoup your ground and be stronger, richer and truer for it.<\/p>\n

Friday (30th) looks more promising, with a sextile and a conjunction.\u00a0 First, Mercury sextiles Neptune: Sensitivity towards others, and spiritual awareness, inform our minds easily, making delicate conversations and channelling easier.\u00a0 You can receive inspiration, especially for writing and communication.\u00a0 This occurs in the early hours of the morning, so again may influence your dream and dream guidance.\u00a0 You may feel that you communicate with other dimensions on other planes.<\/p>\n

Then in the evening the Sun conjoins with Uranus.\u00a0 Expect the unexpected, in other words!\u00a0 It is a good day to demonstrate your originality and inventiveness, and in your leisure time begin a project which is highly creative or benefits society.\u00a0 You may decide to join a group activity along those lines.\u00a0 If you are feeling more contemplative in mood, new ideas can flash into your consciousness during meditation.\u00a0 The evening’s television or film viewing (Netflix or whatever) could provide heightened interest.<\/p>\n
