The Mars/Venus Conjunction Ends
June 19 21
Since late
April, aggressive Mars and Venus, the planet of diplomacy, joy, vehicles and a
wealth indicator, have been marching in tandem through Pisces and now
Aries. This has been the spring's dominant planetary karma.
It has been increasingly uncomfortable for Venus, and certainly the bankruptcies
of both Chrysler and General Motors is sobering testament to that Celestial Wheel prediction. Too, NASCAR
races accidents have been exceptional, as explained in the
April 28 Celestial Wheel. This weekend is big with Le Mans and a truck
race. Expect more bumps and discords, for vehicles Venus is now just over
two degrees from Mars and closing quickly.
Why Have The Stock
Markets Continued To Move Up?
At first blush, it appears strange that the
stock markets have continued to move up. The Big Blizzard Of 2009
ended Friday, March, 6, and beginning the following Monday, The DOW Jones
began to recover from the 6,547 to the current 8799 -- an over one third
improvement. Primary reasons given in the media are that the market
was oversold last winter, the banks have become stable and President
Obama's actions are beginning to help the economy. However, the
primary force behind the DOW continuing to move up for over three months
is greed -- which is a
Mars/Venus signification. Venus is a wealth indicator, and Mars is
desire. Combined, they stimulate passion
in all things, which includes greed. This is why
investors have just shrugged off a host of negative economic news -- the
auto company bankruptcies, the real estate markets' relentless fall,
increasing unemployment, lowering consumer spending...
Along with this,
Jupiter, the primary wealth indicator, has contributed to the unwarranted
optimism since it moved out of it's fallen (weak) sign of Capricorn April
30. Jupiter will go retrograde June 15, reducing it's ability to
expand. Jupiter will then re-enter its fallen (weak) sign of
Capricorn July 31, further harming wealth, and perhaps more importantly,
it's signification for optimism
This
passionate Mars/Venus money-honeymoon will
begin winding down June 19 21. Then, Venus will finally pass Mars and
begin to move away from its destructive energy. .
Why Have Oil Prices
Also Bounced Way Up?
Another confounding rise is oil, which has
surged upward this spring to from the low $40's to $70 per barrel and has
propelled the gasoline price up from under $2.00 to $2.64 now. OPEC
and other oil producers, like Russia, need $70 plus oil to survive economically.
Speculators have used this factor, plus the spring's economic optimism and
Mars/Venus greed, to bid up the price. Another (Vedic Astrology) factor relates to
Ketu, the mystical and dissolving eclipse point that is gas and oil.
Whenever destructive Mars influences Ketu, oil goes up. Mars moved
into Aries May 23, from which is aspects (glances upon) Ketu in Cancer,
signaling the latest oil price push from under $60. (Note: Mars will conjoin with Ketu in Cancer in October,
signaling another major oil price boost.
August Will Be Tough
Economically
So far, this Celestial Wheel has only
addressed decreases in investors' Mars/Venus greed and Jupiter's optimism.
These are shown in this timeline, last published in the
May 14 Celestial Wheel.

That entry also discussed restrictive Saturn's upcoming reckoning with
the undue optimism and greed. Major economic reversals will occur in both the private and public sectors then, and governments will be unable to resolve the problems.
Blue Saturn will march toward the end of Leo, where he will do his scorched earth game from the
middle of August for about two weeks. Saturn always withholds his greatest harms until the end of each of
his 2 1/2 year transits through a sign.
Leo is the fifth
house in the natural zodiac, symbolizing global karmas. That houses's significations for kingship and investments suggests governments and
stocks will fall. Leo is the ninth house of luck and fortune in the
U.S. chart. Expect the summer stock markets' Venus/Mars passions will
fall to Saturn's cruel realities. |

We can specify the beginning date of Saturn's
end of transit harms by looking
for when aggressive Mars begins to seriously attack Saturn this
summer.
Mars does this when it goes into Taurus in early July, and then closely
aspects Saturn in Cancer on August 7. The then Mars aspect
within 2 degrees of Saturn is shown in the transit chart to the right.
This August 7 date could be exactly correct or up to several days
late. However, it does give a target
date.
This target date is important because the interval from June 23 until
August 7 is both optimistic, and in general the planets are fairly well
disposed. It thereby provides opportunities to resolve financial
issues in your life -- real estate, retirement, savings,
investments..... So take advantage of it to put your financial
house in order.
To reinforce how difficult how difficult this
end of transit harms will be, the
last previous Saturn transit out
of a sign was early July, 2007, when it left Cancer. |

Note that Mars was also aspecting Saturn in 2007.
Cancer is the home, focusing Saturn harms on property. The
July 14 Celestial Wheel reported on that event stating,
| Specifically predicted were:
bad news about real estate, further weather
extremes, forest fires and perhaps earth crust events. These
predictions have largely been born out. If you think severe weather
is limited to the U.S., however, read, today's Washington Post
article,
Typhoon Hits Japan; at Least 34 injured.
Too, the media hasn't paid much attention to Reuters, July 13
report,
Indonesia volcano ups activity, ash showers villages. |

Unstable Planetary Weather
During the next few days, there's instability in the fast-moving planets: Mars, Venus and Mercury. This results because each is moving into a new sign. The below chart, for early tomorrow morning shows those planets in yellow highlights.
When a planet changes a 30 degrees wide sign, it first becomes very weak as it approaches the sign edge at 2 degrees -- much like the current in a river is weak at the riverbank. A boat there doesn't benefit from the current and doesn't steer well either. To continue the marine analogy, the boat is dead in the water. When the planet emerges into the next sign, it remains weak -- like being caught on the river's other bank, until it reaches two degrees. Being at the other riverbank is also similar to the change in energy quality the planet experiences in its new abode. Another way to look at this is when a sailboat
comes about, turning into the wind to bring the wind on the other side, the sails shift sides, as does the crew. Planets change signs frequently, but three planets all doing so at the same time, the energetic change is multiplied.
This
sign-shifting brings instability, and the analogy here is like warm moist air from the Gulf of Mexico running into cold dry air over the Great Plains -- thunderstorms and tornadoes.
Mars is shifting from Aries to Taurus, and process will continue until July 5.
Venus has crossed into Taurus and will become strong at 2 degrees July 1.
Mercury is almost finished in Taurus and will become strong in Gemini July 1.
While this is just temporary, and results mostly fleeting, the effects can be quite dramatic -- like a line of thunderstorms, especially if unanticipated. Well, this alert gives you the heads-up you need to navigate carefully and slowly through the next few days.
