The Dangers in the Gulf —or Sometimes the Wrong Chart Will Give You the Right Information
I was listening to a discussion on Coast to Coast between George Noory and Richard C. Hoaland on the situation in the gulf and how perilous it has become:
- Dangerous chemicals being released into the air
- Danger of a catastrophic methane explosion which could result in massive tsunamis.
The problem is that reliable, timely, data is not being released.
Naturally, I turned to astrology.
Sometimes the wrong chart…
There have been a very small handful of times in the past 30+ years that the wrong chart has produced the right answer.
The first time it happened was back in the days when preparing a chart took an hour or so of math. One evening, I remember wondering about some issue and preparing a chart for clarification. The result was crystal clear and everything fell into place even though it was very clear the next morning that I had made an obvious math mistake and the chart was just simply wrong.
The next time it happened wasn`t my mistake but a client bringing me the wrong time re her birth data. We did a full consultation which seemed to go well. The following week she called me back to say that she realized we had used the wrong time and she wanted to come back to see the few things that would change with the slight change in time.
There was only one thing that changed significantly and that was Mars moving into the Fourth house which, when badly aspected as this was, may be a sign of childhood abuse in the home. It turned out that, in the week between readings, the client had admitted to herself for the first time that she had been abused as a child.
I mention these two situations because every time I have tried in the past couple of days to produce my usual natal and solar return chart for the USA for this article, last year`s solar return would pop up somehow. (Once, instead of USA chart and 2010 solar return, I got two 2009 returns.) At first, I blamed it on the heat and the heavy Neptune influence I am experiencing but I eventually decided that it keeps popping up because it is still very significant.
Last year`s SR clearly showed the danger with the ruler of the chart, Mars, square Neptune, Chiron, Jupiter. This year`s SR has stresses and danger points but they are not as obvious with the ruler of the chart, the Moon, trine Venus — a very pleasant aspect. The people are happy.
It was clear that I shouldn`t rely on the Solar return as much as I have come to do with other matters — so I looked further:
- Current transits – Jupiter squaring Pluto and both of them forming a t-square with USA Venus affecting wealth etc. but also (because of placement and rulerships etc) America`s appearance and position in the world.
- Secondary progression – Moon (always the influence to watch as it moves quickly – a degree per month) conjunct Neptune in the natal chart. Neptune rules the ocean as well as oil and gases. It also rules fantasy, deceit and deception.
- Solar Arc progression – another t-square as the Pluto-Vertex opposition in the natal chart has moved to square Mars, a volatile influence.
