Your Chart, for the Week of 1 February, 2010
Compared to the week before, what a plain to boring week the last
one was. The Sun was in trine to Saturn and all took a turn for the quiet.
Canada is setting emissions caps. Boring. Obama markets version 2.0. Boring.
Toyota has a batch of sticky pedals. So what? Boring. An Iranian cleric
nobody here has heard of wants to show no Islamic mercy to political opponents.
We’ve heard this nonsense many times. The guy is one more nut-job with some
influence. Nothing new.
We’re still waiting, at this writing, to see the results of the closest
Full Moon of the Year aligning, almost to the hour, with Mars, the classical God
of War. Oh, plenty of personal stirrings have already been seen, but it’s as if
the Moon was so close to the alignment, the Sun – Mars alignment went to sleep
in pubic. Mars is a personal Planet, so his first realm of influence is with
very personal motivations, things underground.
If there are going to be hurt, angry, and impatient (Mars on his bad
side) feelings (Moon, ruler of moods and feelings), then they tend to stay more
in the immediate emotional neighbourhood. You take it out on the ones you know
and love, right?
Mars also stirs the fears, not the kind of thing taken to the public
square. He hates exposure, can’t take much criticism, so only a select audience
will do. Tempers get short, flare for a moment, and then, if those being
afflicted get lucky, fade rather quickly. Mars really isn’t known for staying
power (part of the fear). That’s the realm of Saturn, mighty No. 2 of the Giant
Planets.
Of course, Mars also aspected a legitimate Giant, Uranus, on
Sunday. These two can form a nasty, to deadly, duo working on deep
seated angers (Mars), insecurities and anxieties (Uranus). It’s now the kind of
thing where any excuse will do for something to pop. Go ahead, light a spark.
This Week: Monday is nice.
Take advantage while you can. The Sun – Mars opposition finds fertile social
ground for loosing personal slights by Tuesday. Yes, it’s personal, but since
expression there gets a snub (Venus to Saturn), what’s a person to do but crank
the tension and hang out the dirty linen in public? That’ll keep the gossips
talking for days. Not nice, but it’s news.
The sharply clawed cat can’t get back in a ripped bag till the
weekend. Friday is too shredded to do much mending. The Cosmic cops can’t hear
through the static until Saturday, and can’t reach the global scene till
Sunday. By then, personal damage is done and we’re too shamed to show much
face. It’s time to call a big Time Out! Find one.
Nota Bene: Revolutions start like this: Times are good, then times are
bad and those at the top get tough. Times get good again, pressure come off,
and then the revolution.
If you can’t evolve, at least revolve. Learn your pressure points at johnrutherford@shaw.ca.

Monday, 1 February. (Moon in Virgo. Mercury aspects Jupiter.
18 Card, 3 Mut)
Maybe yesterday, but this is no bold bombast. This eases the tone, opens
the ear, and makes for agreements, especially for those seeking change. It’s
what you do, not just say.
Tuesday, 2 February. (Moon in early Libra. The Sun aspects Venus /
Mars. 13 degrees of Fixed Signs, 28 Mut)
Being eager is refreshing and certainly welcome. Show off, take the
chance. Take this all the way, to the logical end, when strutting for others.
Or, is this dance for the mirror?
(Venus aspects Saturn. 19 Fixed, 4 Cardinal)
You gave it a full workout and did your best. So, now back off, take a rest
and let the rest take it to the next level, or not. Anyway, you’re done,
nothing more for this moment.
(The Sun aspects Saturn / Uranus. 14 Fixed, 29 Mutable)
Pushing past your limits, or what anyone should be expected to do? Now,
you’re pushing into the make-it-or-break-it zone. Hope you have plenty of
bandages.
Wednesday, 3 February. (Moon in Libra. The Sun aspects Saturn /
Neptune. 15 Fixed, 0 Cardinal)
Those running marathons know to set a steady pace. Those into music know
rhythm and timing. Those into comedy take the pause to build the payoff. Stay
loose not to lose.
Friday, 5 February. (Moon in Scorpio. The Sun aspects Mars
/ Neptune. 16 Fixed, 1
Cardinal)
Pushed to a point where everything irritates, nothing comes together, what
do you do? Go shopping, get out of town, have a nap, ‘cuz this ain’t workin’
and you need a break. Don’t bite into something bigger than your head, don’t
run past your headlights, don’t...
(Mercury sextile Uranus. 9 and 24 degrees of All Signs)
This would normally open up space for bright ideas, but Mercury has been
taxed, over stressed and somewhat confused of late. This works better letting
all in place stay in place. See, no more mental cramps.
Sunday, 7 February. (Moon in Sagittarius. The Sun aspects Saturn. 19
Fixed, 4 Cardinal)
The Sun’s last aspect was to Mars, the Lord of Hurry-Up, I-Want-It-Now, and
Gotta-Do! Lethargy out, zip in. Well, here comes the cop, you’re over the line
and need regulation. Or, tough it to keep going steady, even on an uphill
grind.
(Venus aligns with Neptune.
25 degrees of Fixed Signs, 10 Cardinal)
Grab a fist full if mist or a snoot of toot. Chase the wind or fill a
bottomless pit. All goes against the grain of gain, but is fine for loving the
lost and honouring the offbeat.
If you want the "horrible-scopes", go somewhere else. If you want the meaning
behind them, stay on.
Is your Number up? Check Your
Four Personal Points for every
day (see below). If the numbers match, this day is meant for you!
Each forecast shows: the
Moon Sign, the Planetary Aspect, and Numbers of degrees in Signs for the
Planetary Aspect.
The Moon
Sign is the Sign the Moon is in
for that day. The Moon
Sign gives advantage to the Sign
it is in, puts extra pressure on the opposite Sign, and tends to cross up or
neutralise the Signs at right angles. For example, with Fixed Signs, if the
Moon is in Taurus, Taurus has the advantage, Scorpio gets challenged, and Leo
and Aquarius get shifted or crossed up.
The Planetary
Aspect is where action is
released. It's the Excuse. Unlike daily
Horoscopes that suggest each
day has the same level of influence, this is the core of changes in the daily
energies.
The Sign
Numbers are the degrees in the Signs
of the Zodiac being emphasised.
If the degree for any day is close to any degree ofYour
Four Personal Points (see below),
within a degree or so, THIS IS YOUR DAY. Pay extra ATTENTION.
You may have several days in the week activated for you, or you may have none.
As a degree hits one of Your
Four Personal Points, the forecast tells about the important things in your
life. The daily forecasts tell you when. The overall story comes through over
time. Sooner or later, the degrees of the Forecast catch up to all Your
Points.
Your Four Personal Points are, in order of importance:
The Ascendant,
the Mid-heaven,
the Moon,
and the Sun.
These are the most important Points of your Horoscope,
calculated from your birth date, your birth-place, and the time of day you drew
your first breath. The first two Personal
Points, the Ascendant and Mid-heaven, are
the points that fix
the Earth in
space for your birth time at your specific birth place. We live on the Earth,
not the Sun or the Moon. The Ascendant,
also called Your Rising
Sign, is more important than your Sun Sign.
Simply, and generally only, forecasts that affect your:
Ascendant relate to matters in your environment. Use it to see what's
in your "face".
Mid-heaven relate to matters in your personal life. Use it to see what's
in your mind.
Moon relate to matters in your emotional life. Use it to see
what's in your heart.
Sun relate to
matters in your physical life. Use it to see what's in your core.
The Signs of the Zodiac are:
Card: Cardinal Signs (Aries,
Cancer, Libra, Capricorn)
Fix: Fixed Signs (Taurus, Leo,
Scorpio, Aquarius)
Mut: Mutable
Signs (Gemini, Virgo,
Sagittarius, Pisces)
Heaven, Help Us! The forecast is the
mood of the moment.
When it rains, we all get wet, no matter what "Sign" we are.
If you like this forecast, let others know. SEND IT TO THEM. If you have
comments or questions, LET ME KNOW.
