Transformational Times:

Well, Uranus certainly entered Aries with a bang! For those of you who are not in the know, it was the same day the 8.9 Earthquake hit Japan.  Is this just coincidence or can astrological alignments have an influence on the Earth’s seismic activity?

I’ve been watching earthquake patterns nearly everyday for the last two years, and I think there is something to examine here. Last year Greece, Italy, and the Middle East were getting slammed everyday with small earthquakes (2′s and 3′s).  Along the eastern Asian coastlines and Indonesia, part of the Ring of Fire, earthquakes measured mostly at 3′s, 4′s, and 5′s.  (The Ring of Fire is aptly named because of its prolific volcanic and earthquake activity, and stretches from the west coast of South America, going up the US west coast, around the Alaskan coast, over to the eastern coast of Siberia, Japan, China, and down through Indonesia to New Zealand.)

The day after last July’s Cardinal Grand Cross, the pattern of earthquake activity suddenly changed. Europe and the Middle East were no longer getting any, and the magnitude of earthquake intensity along the Asian coast and Indonesia increased significantly.  These patterns are still holding true today.   It will be interesting to see what happens this July when the Uranus/Pluto square is within a one degree orb, and during June and July when this year’s Cardinal Grand Cross moves into position. (The grand cross involves Saturn, Uranus and Pluto. with the the Sun in Cancer as the forth point for a number of days, and then Venus in Cancer continues to sustain the alignment, totaling a 3 week period of time. (approx. June 26 -July 13).

This month…Neptune makes a temporary shift into Pisces, triggering a move away from technology and forward towards compassion for the planet, people and environment.  And Pluto begins a five month period of retrograde.  So the next few months will be an excellent time to review and finish processing your transformations from the past year.
