The Spring Equinox takes place on March 21st - right in line with the Passover season. Many will be surprised to learn that passover is not simply a Jewish tradition. it is also a Christian and Catholic one, since it is referred to in the Bible in many places. The differences are connected to how this date is observed by the different religions.
RELIGION: The Christian symbolism is of Jesus on the Cross, then resurrected on Passover/Easter. A cross is an Astrological phenomenon.
On the 21st we have a Full Moon with the Sun in Aries and the Moon In Libra - both at 1′ and both are squaring Pluto at 1′ Capricorn. Some Astrologers are calling this a Grand Cross because of Mars’ location at 6′ Cancer. This is too wide for me to count and I call this pattern a T-square. A t-square is more difficult than a Grand Cross because it is not in balance, a grand square (cross) is hard, but balanced.
BUT - this T-square has future impact because all 3 t-square planets will eventually arrive at the 6th degree and then go through the doorway that has been opened by Mars over the past 6 months, starting in October of 07.
THE MARS DOORWAY: Action, crisis and warfare. Crisis between the genders, the ‘battle of the sexes.’ All of this was activated between the degrees of 24′ Gemini and 12′ Cancer. The activation laid the groundwork for events that will land up to 6 years into the future.
THE PIVOTAL DEGREES: We are most concerned with the degrees of 0′-8′ in the Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn). These are perhaps the most important of our lifetime and on our planet because they rule the North and South poles and by extension the 4 directions. They are deeply and intimately tied to the climate, the Earth and issues of Global Warming.
Cancer: The divine Feminine - especially at the 0′ of Cancer. This is the Summer Solstice degree and the point of greatest HEAT - emotionally, psychologically, personally. During the Summer Solstice the SUN is way up North in the Tropic of Cancer, as far towards the North Pole as it ever gets.
Capricorn: The oppressor - especially at the 0′ of Capricorn. This is the Winter Solstice degree and the point of greatest darkness, coldness and difficulty. At this time the SUN is way DOWN SOUTH, as far as it ever gets, and is in the Tropic of Capricorn (it’s all starting to make sense now isn’t it?)
Libra: The Harvest - the balanced female energy, especially at 0′ Libra. This is the Fall Equinox when the SUN sits right at our equator. The day and night are of equal length, but getting shorter. The job of libra is to balance the EXTREMES.
Aries: New Life - the balanced male energy, especially at 0′Aries. This is the Spring Equinox (Passover). Again the SUN sits right at the equator and day and night are equal but getting longer. The job of Aries is to push the limits to their EXTREMES.
Today on planet Earth the Magnetic North and physical North are Not at the same place. (the same is true for South, West and East).
Why is this so? Science cannot answer that question. The guidance and spiritual messages I have been given tell me that they were once in perfect alignment. It was the instant that humans began to separate the Spiritual from the Physical side of existence that the Magnetic poles began to migrate away from ‘HOME.’
Today we experience this as greater and greater drama, conflict and upheaval as the 4 directional energies must constantly fight and re-correct in order to establish balance. This balance was once normal and natural. Today it is gone. Leaving us in a constant state of trying to find it again.
PROOF THAT THIS MEANS SOMETHING:
OK, I can’t quote emissions standards, ocean current changes or wind patterns and have it make any sense in relation to the PIVOTAL DEGREES, but what I can do, and ask you to do to prove that there is at least something going on here is to take out a raw EGG and balance it on a hard surface - even glass or metal. What is most remarkable is that it should balance in under a minute and it should balance on it’s NARROW POINTY END.

The only times in the year when this is possible is on the Spring and Fall Equinox.
Try again on the 23rd and it won’t happen. Try it today and it won’t happen (unless this is an Equinox).
Isn’t it INTERESTING that the traditional Easter Egg hunt uses cooked eggs? Easter always takes place on the First Sunday after the Full Moon in March (which is after the Equinox) and not on a fixed date.
This experiment won’t work with a cooked egg. It also won’t work on a date that follows the Equinox. Somebody, somewhere decided to move the celebration away from the time and date when the MAGIC COULD BE PROVEN.
This effects everyone in the areas of: Traditions, Mother/Father social roles, Partnership and self vs. other in all personal involvements.
It is no accident that this year we are witnessing a woman running for president. It represents the PIVOTAL DEGREES IN ACTIVATION.
I am NOT making a political statement! A woman becoming president has many more layers of meaning than anyone has yet addressed out loud. I will go into this more in later articles.
What does it mean? Within hours of the actual equinox the MOON will square Mars causing conflict and tension in relationships and especially connected to young man and Mother figure archetypes. About 3 days later The Sun will Square Mars creating conflict between that which is traditional and governed by older men VS the archetype of the young man or warrior.
Finally in 3-6 years (this aspect happens 3 times) we have a conflict between Pluto in opposition to the MARS degree. This is a conflict of pure raw power and pits group power - the kind found in Corporations VS the young man or warrior.
OVERALL this signals a period of greater and greater conflict and warfare on the planet, one which is based in the struggles between the sexes and the desire for power. Corporations will figure prominently in the designs to take over power and control. I DON’T CARE WHO IS PRESIDENT. These things will take place regardless of who sits in the White House. But for the record you can read my Presidential Prediction article, which has caused some heavy debate.
Within 3-6 years Corporations may take over the powers of Government, and even if they don’t yet succeed - they will be trying to.
EVIDENCE? Open up a newspaper. Look at the collapsing Mortgage industries. JP Morgan is bailing out Bear Stearns at this very moment. The Government is almost a bystander in all of this. Who will have the power in the end? The Government will bail out the corporations first, before individuals, if they even have to money to do so. This is what they did in the 80’s with the S&L fiasco. Who does it give power to? The corporations.
What does this mean for you? Only a private reading will be able to give you those answers.
As you can see, this is a complex set of issues. Every person represents a complicated set of talents and challenges as well! It takes deep thinking to see all of this. To set up an appointment with me you can call (310) 455-2210.
The SUN was worshipped by most ancient cultures as the giver of life. Solar energy is radiant and glowing, it is the archetypal masculine expression. The SUN feeds and nurtures our planet on every level, without it there would be no life at all. The SUN is the center of our solar system and the astrological placement of the SUN is the framework of the personality. When someone says, “I am an Aries,” they are really saying that the SUN was in Aries when they were born. The SUN defers its energy to the ruler of whatever sign a person is born under. In the case of the Aries individual that would be Mars. Because of this the placement of Mars in the Aries Natal Chart, will give greater insight to the expression of the energy of the SUN, which is the ego of the personality. Only one sign is naturally ruled by the SUN, that is Leo. What this means is that Leos radiate strong personalities. They are naturally able to express themselves, and gain followers. The SUN is necessary for survival, similarly Leos must share their abundant energy with others in order to keep social interaction moving. All Leos must deal with the gifts and responsibilities inherent in being the one in the limelight, getting attention. They are easily compared to the ‘king of beasts-the Lion’ which is the Leo symbol. The Leo has charisma, swagger and can easily take center stage. They are often to be found at the center of the party. Usually Leos are affectionate and generous. The down side of Leo is that they can be egotistical, and truly believe that others should pay homage to their ‘Kingliness.’ Depending on the relationship between the SUN and other parts of the Natal Chart the expression of the Leo ego will either be smooth and fun, or over-developed and arrogant. Leos do have a tendency to be opinionated and controlling, at times they can’t help but feel that they know everything, and they rarely resist telling you all about it. In some cases however, the Leo ego is almost completely invisible, and you find a very shy Leo. This would be indicated by more complex elements of the Natal Chart.
So regal, so proud, so intimidating is the LION that it’s hard to imagine that they could ever feel disrespected. Oh yes, his swagger is famous, her reputation precedes her. People fear, admire and mostly stand in stunned awe at the sight of a LEO. I’ll let you in on a secret, even the shy ones strike awe in the hearts of their comrades. That regal bearing, that mane of hair! She must be royalty.
