Thoughts for May 2006 - The Event Horizon

11 May 2006

Graphic Ephemeris 2006

Things have been a bit hectic lately but recent events have brought home to me how important it is to keep up this site. Listening to the radio last thing at night has taken me back to my teenage years. And not in a good way; it's been a while since the news was concluded by lists of jobs lost and plants closed but not altogether unexpected given the Jupiter Saturn Neptune squares which underlie this period.

Uranus also has a hand in the background conditions, Jupiter having made the trine to Uranus last week, which adds a hint of uncertainty. You never get what you expect when Uranus is on the scene. Saturn is just picking up speed after its station at 4 Leo and moving towards the second of the three squares with Jupiter, which is retrograding back towards it. They will prefect the square in June, coming within three degrees of exactitude on 1 June. 22 June is the exact square but we should pay attention to the few days previous as Mars will conjoin with Saturn on 17 June.

This is the second of three squares between Saturn and Jupiter, the first was last December, the last will be in October.

The Jupiter Saturn cycle tracks economic conditions and the conjunction, in May 2000, was in Taurus the sign of physical resources, material reality and practicality. What ever we meet will be the product of that conjunction and the consequence of our having to adapt the progress of the cycle. Squares are associated with crises but they are essentially periods of adjustment. Turning the steering wheel as you approach a corner is a necessary and desirable adjustment to the occupants of the car and to the occupants of the houses which lie in the original path of the car. Adjustments are also caused by a type blow up or an engine failure caused by the car running badly or over rough ground. You can never tell exactly how it will play but we're going to find out soon.
