The Centre of the Wheel is Best: The Cardinal Grand Cross of 2014

Here's the simple breakdown (even though this particular Time-Period is anything but simple as seen from Planet Earth):


Picture a magician proclaiming this enchantment


      Energize!
                                   Transform!
                                                                   Liberate!
                                                                                                       Expand!

What would the manifestations be?

Picture him again:


Desire!
                                   Power!      
                                                                   Freedom!
                                                                                                       Knowledge!

How would the end results look?

And once again:


Fight!
                                 Destroy!
                                                                 Rebel!
                                                                                                      Gorge!

How things manifest are always subject to choice/change/flux and laws, within human free will but beyond our human comprehension. But...we Astrologers know that this Planetary Period and Astrological Alignment is sort of like the puzzle box from the Hellraiser movies. A major piece moves. And it causes quit a stir. The entire planet feels it, and responds or reacts.

Perhaps as "One", perhaps as "Billions" - perhaps as Both.

How will this Cardinal Grand Square affect you, personally?

Only your Chart can truly reveal this. Schedule a Reading or Order a Transit or Progressions Report (under TRANSIT here,  less then $10! Knowledge is Power, so see what life is re-arranging for you).

We can say that the CHANGES and CHOICES  will profoundly affect YOU, Your Living Situation or Family/Domestic life, Your Life Ambitions or Actual Life Direction....and...Your Relationship with Everyone Else!

The Cardinal Gross hangs in the signs of the seasons, the very bedrock and foundation of Human Lives (Aries/Cancer/Libra/Capricorn). At 13 Degrees (cue Jaws music) it should be interesting to see the manifestations in the United States whose very IDENTITY and sense of self (The Sun) lies at 13 Degrees Cancer.

As another piece of the cosmic puzzle clicks into place, remember the golden rule when faced with any and every transit, progression, aspect or alignment in your chart:

                                        THE CENTRE OF THE WHEEL IS BEST.

Out of the 12 is always born the 13th (King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, Jesus and his 12 Disciples etc)- not a Sign, but You. 

Be the Center of the Storm, be Nothing and Everything. Go within.

And remember - each time you leave the centre of the wheel, you wind up taking sides
(be it rebel, destroyer, warrior, controller etc) and thus will be met with SQUARES and OPPOSITIONS - forces which will come at you from the side or head-on. 

Go forth and only make choices you're happy to live with. And be ready to embrace those thrust upon you. There IS a meaning behind current events, and nothing is simple. The box opens, and we enter another dimension, cross through another threshold and open another door.

When faced with a grand cross, there's no way out of the box 

until the puzzle clicks again and a new picture emerges.

It's all an Illusion, but it feel so real!
That's the point.

Your Astrologer,

Ricky Martin's Astrological 'Outing'

Singer Ricky Martin finally came out of the closet as a gay man, a newsworthy story that (of course) warrants some Astrological Research, so for those interested, this is what the Chart says for this event:

We look to the Progressed Moon to see where our current emotional focus lies: events always manifest externally due to internal pressures/fixations/focus. Since our emotions are so strongly pulled while here on Earth, it's a key player in the timing of events. At the time of his coming out, the Progressed Moon had just moved into a new sign (signifying a "new chapter" in life). Since his Natal Moon is placed in his 10th house of Public Reputation, each time the Progressed Moon shifts house or sign, Ricky's career/public self will go through a transition.

In his 3rd House (of announcements, communications, writing) he 'found his voice' and announced on an online blog, that he was indeed gay. The sign of the progressed Moon: Virgo - succinct, clear cut, information. No frills. No holds barred. Simply stated.

His Progressed Mercury (his evolving Voice) is only 1 degree away from his Natal Venus (his desires/what he loves/relationships) in his 8th House (sex, sexuality, secret information). The perfect brewing for the revelation. Which sign? Aquarius - at 0 Degrees, the sign of the rebel, outsider, often referred to as the 'deviant' - someone who does things outside of the norm (of course to Aquarius, there IS no norm).

Transit Mars opposed this configuration, drawing a line and adding energy to the mix.
Mars is another 'sexuality' planet. Second House - self esteem. Leo - self glory.

As always, when events manifest, we can always see multiple factors, and here we have them:

Transit Mercury (messages, announcements, communications) is conjunct his Progressed Mars (actions) in his 11th House (of independence, freedom, uniqueness). Time to express his inner feeling (and need) for ultimate freedom )the 11th house theme. Sign: Aries - the Self ("my way or the highway").

Transit Sun spotlights Natal Chiron (uniqueness, differentness, rebellion, wounds/healing) in Aries - sign of the self. 10th House: public reputation.
It's time to heal that wound of not truly being the self.

Transit Uranus (freedom, liberation, breaking up stagnant patterns) unlocks the Mars/Moon (self identity and needs) in 10th House - further demonstrating the need to bust out, break free, truly let the self shine.

Transit Pluto (destroying and revamping, rebirthing, sexuality) teaming up with the Capricorn Sun (self identity) to break down his old image and to let his real self shine bright (or suffer for not doing so). Seventh House = relationship. Capricorn = via his reputation.

Transit Mars triggers his Progressed Ascendant (his evolving appearance and approach to life) giving him the firepower to and brushing up against his Natal South Node (his soul's past) - the bringing out (Asc) something from the past (s node)in dramatic fashion (Leo).

Transit Saturn triggers Natal Pluto in 4th House. Saturn: focus, discipline, getting serious about this part of life. Pluto: power, transformation, sexuality. 4th House: deeply personal stuff, family, emotional needs. Life Foundation.

This time is about finding personal power, digging (Pluto) deep inside (4th). Revealing (Pluto) the inner self (4th House) in a public way (Saturn).

Finally, the North Node of his karmic path reminds us that he came here to dig deep and explore unusual (Aquarius) sexual paths (8th House) to explore power (8th) through being different. (Aquarius).

If it manifests, it's always found in the Chart. Hope this gives you a new perspective on the field and how much value it can be.

When something is ready to 'pop' you'll see it there if you're ready and willing to ride with the winds of change blowing through your life.

By choice or by force, from within or from without, we'll experience it. Life is always moving. Move with it, and we find Joy. Resist, and we experience pain.

Which way are you moving with the tide of change in your life right now?
