As you may be aware, the Fukushima earthquake and tsunami occurred when Uranus moved into the zodiac sign of Aries–at precisely zero degrees or the Aries zero point. This is on the beginning of the Astrological zodiac which signifies the changing of the seasons from winter to spring and an initiatory time of change and new beginnings. During April 2 to 4, 2011 there will be six planets traversing the heavens in the cardinal fire sign of Aries: the Sun, Moon, Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, and Mercury. This is important because these planets will ignite the Cardinal Cross energy that I’ve spoken of in my previous Astro-Grams.
Uranus is the planet that also rules change, and more specifically, earthquakes and all things nuclear related. It will travel through the energetic sign of Aries until 2019. For decades activists have been lobbying for renewable and sustainable energy sources as a result of disasters such as Chernobyl, and last year’s Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Aries gives us the fiery energy needed to initiate the implementation of sustainable energy sources that will avert similar disasters from happening again in the future.
Furthermore, as I write this article, the nuclear reactors in Fukushima are once again making headlines, and the US has declared “preemptive military action” in Libya. These two events on the global stage are indicative of the Astrological planetary significations that will occur, and which may prompt newsworthy attention during the next few days, specifically:
April 1– 10 p.m. PT: Mars– the god of war and explosions– is entering the Aries zero point. As I mentioned above, this was Uranus’s exact point when the earthquake struck Japan, and thus we could see more related incidences in Japan.
April 2– 4:16 p.m. PT: The Moon, which rules water as well as the public domain, enters the zero point of Aries thru April 4. These two days will be important because the Moon will join the remaining four planets in Aries, including Uranus, and shed additional light and attention on recent global upheavals.
April 3– Mars will conjoin Uranus, the great awakener of change. Watch for more unexpected and perhaps explosive events which can bring enlightening awareness.
April 4– Mars will make a challenging aspect to Uranus in the Libya Republic Astrological Chart, which may render more war and trauma (Uranus) in the country and continue to threaten the security of its residents.
It is my belief that the intensity of the Astrological energies over these four days will serve as yet another wakeup call that urges humanity to recognize and seize opportunities to restore the planet’s balance, both literally and metaphorically. When planetary bodies pass over a point of sensitivity in the ecliptic, Astrologers will often see activity reignited in the geographic location that the original event occurred. In summary, Mars is considered a malefic planet that frequently delivers events ripe with strife and disagreements, individually and collectively. As Mars passes over Uranus, and the critical Astrological points of the past few weeks, we are certain to witness a continual unfolding of that to which Uranus wants us to awaken, and therefore change, in our personal lives and globally.
