Alabama carries out first nitrogen gas execution in US after Supreme Court green light

Saturn/Zeus are on the Aries Point - using force (Zeus) to cause death (Saturn). Saturn is in Pisces (death through gas).

ARIES POINT

SA/ZE- - Separation
MC/MA - Self-will, energy. The urge for action. One's own action. Making arrangements or giving orders to others. To orchestrate events. An agitated mind. Psychically active. Energy. Pulling oneself together.
MO/UR - MO/UR - Excitement. Nervousness of females. Eventful hours. Awaken. Arouse. Excite. Vibrating motion. Interest. Attention. Restlessness of the body and the mind. Ambitions. Hour of tension. Eventful hour. Uproar of the populace.

I was waiting for the mention of ''controversy'' or 'uproar of populace' as Witte puts it - I have a feeling we won't hear the last of this rather cruel method of using Nitrogen.

Carrying on the Saturn Pisces theme we have today's attack on an Oil tanker from Houthi rebels predicted about a month ago on the basis that a conjunction of Mercury and Mars would be timely considering the well known connection between Mercury (Commerce/trade) and Mars (attacks/missiles). Add a square to the nodal axis and a Uranus station to the mix and it seemed like a safe bet.

Britain and its allies “reserve the right to respond appropriately” after a missile strike claimed by Houthi rebels on an oil tanker in the Gulf of Aden, the Government has said. The Marlin Luanda was sent up in flames after an attack off the coast of Yemen on Friday, days after the latest round of US-UK military action against the Iran-backed group. No casualties have yet been reported. (Evening Standard)

Mercury-Mars square the Nodes in Late Jan could well augur a showdown so this warning shot looks like being ignored. Not perhaps what is usually expected in the skirmishes?
..

The word 'prediction' indicates certainty but the reality is that it's more akin to a forecast with varying degrees of probability..I would say around 80% in this case. It's not a big deal...it won't be right every time!

I really need to put this Pluto Station chart up as an example of the usefulness of delineating the more stressful transits to the chart itself. This Mercury-Mars transit displays it perfectly and also fits with todays latest ''display of power'' (Pluto) from North Korea as it launched 5 missiles with possible nuclear strike capabilities at 8am, 29 Jan, 2024 (2300 GMT Saturday). Pluto represents power struggles and changes in the world's power structure with minor players like the Houthi rebels just a tiny cog under the influence of much larger players such as Iran. We are seeing the early moves in this World chess game.

..and in the last hour:-

Yemen's Houthis launched a drone attack on a British warship which was "successfully repelled", the UK Ministry of Defence has said.




Note how Sun opposite Chiron are on 3rd-9th axis of Commerce/Trade and making t-square from Mercury-Mars transit. Mars will transit Pluto on 11th Feb so it might be wise to forecast further escalation during the period Feb 11 to 14 period involving a typically plutonian display of force. I'd be surprised if there were much peaceful rest to be had....put it that way!

If I were a member of the Royal Family I'd feel a tad uneasy about any connections between Jupiter and Uranus on the horizon as it's a surefire signifier of change and disruption so what is left of the European Monarchies might well shudder with fear as they aren't known for their great love of uranian modernity. We've already seen the Queen of Denmark step down from duty (see Jason's thread) so I'd expect further jitters spreading to other Royal Families. I'd expected problems with Jupiter/Uranus but when 3 members became worryingly ill within the same week! the alarm bells began to ring in the minds of many a royalist and royal 'expert'. Now when you consider this was the same week Pluto moved into Aquarius wouldn't you agree that the astrological instinct would be to suspect that this is a matter of more import than is being fed to us through the calming voice of the Establishment 'sources'. Can it be a coincidence when this most staid, traditional edifice met the simmering rumbling of Pluto's grandiose entry into futuristic Aquarius of ''all of us are equal'' repute. Bad timing perhaps?

Jupiter conjuncts Uranus in April/May of this year and by that time hopefully our King is back in fine fettle but looking at these 2 charts below one would have one's worries. Saturn and Neptune astride the 6th house cusps are bad enough but Sun-Mars conjunct in Scorpio (prostrate trouble) fits a little too comfortably for astrologers and no doubt a little uncomfortably for the King himself.

My own method of using a composite between the natal and the lunation before is also rather negative with the ruler in 6th house and square the MC whilst the glowering Pluto sits stubbornly on the 6th. Can we expect him to return with the same vigour as before the hospital visit? Or will the puerile witterings and grotesque gurning exhibitionism of the gruesome twosome, Harry and Meghan, grind him down like it did his parents?

Any thoughts of a more hopeful hue, forum readers?

Hi, just adding three cents:

1. Charles' natal chart has an exact Jupiter/Uranus opposition right on the zero cardinal points (also known as the "World Axis") so no wonder the
Jupiter/Uranus cycle is extremely important and prominent in his life.

2. Charles' natal Moon (lord of the 12th of hospitalizations) is at 0 zero degrees Taurus, so he was hospitalized just when the dreadful Pluto (now in his 6th) entered Aquarius and perfected a stressful square aspect to it, Soon, all those speedy ones , who are now transiting Capricorn (Mercury, Mars and Venus) will join Pluto, one after the other, to add their own "contributions", and the dates when enter Aquarius and bump into Pluto might mark important events in this saga.

3. As a member of the royal family, Charles might have Eclipses marking important events in his life. A solar eclipse will take place soon, on April the 8th 2024 (yet another one to cross the USA), the 19th anniversary of his 2nd wedding (marrying Camilla)..well almost, as the wedding took place on April the 9th 2005, just a day after a solar eclipse. For London, the Eclipse is conjunct the descendant and square the Mc, South Node of the Moon is right on the ascendant, while Moon rules the 10th house ... and there's a Mars/Saturn conjunction in Pisces in the 5th house.

Make of it what you will.

Also during King Charles' Coronation Jupiter was conjunct Eris (mischief; disorder) which could be seen as something of a bad omen to his future reign).

To include Eclipses, UK charts and so forth its probably better for me to start a new thread for the Royals, Aqua Stella.

This sounds like a really good idea. It sees like 2024 is an eventful year for this family.

Mercury Pluto strikes again, this time in 10th house (Govt)

Eris and Zeus on the angles - expect a somewhat feisty reaction to the decision.

This headline sent a few shivers down the spine as I know a few people over there and in light of the current astrology EQ activity would be, if under the auspices of astrologers, on strict 'red alert' for Plutonic activity. Hopefully a false alert.

California is hit by 13 earthquakes in just 25 minutes overnight - with the first striking just after midnight - Daily Mail

Gave a warning about the Mars-Pluto conjunction over a month ago not just because of the forcefulness of the 2 planets but mainly because of its 'Synod Chart' - see below. Whatever the outcome of this over the next 2 days I'm pretty sure as an astrologer I'd err on the side of caution and 'Get the Hell Out!'. What would you do?

#PRAYFORCALIFORNIA.

Hopefully it's something slightly more gentle but it's alarming to see Mar-Pluto on the Ascendant like this - notice the focus of the squares onto the 2 planets. Basically what to expect is Mars-Pluto (show of force) in the Environment/Eye of the Public). An extreme example would be 9/11 with Mercury on Asc - the public all watched on in bewilderment.

If anything at all happens over the next 2 days intriguingly it will most likely be in full purview of the mass public.

Mars-Pluto on IC (earth/ground) in Synod chart set fits almost exactly San Diego area.

Kremlin dismisses U.S. warning about Russian nuclear capability in space

Nuclear (Pluto) Weapons (Mars) in Space (AQ)? It's hard to imagine a more fitting headline on the day Mars conjuncts Pluto in Aquarius (& conjunct my Venus ). Pretty sure Dan Waites will be doing a youtube vid on that,

Lots of news events yesterday after a relatively quiet Feb 13th and I guessed that may well be the case as the planets are generally more volatile in the 2nd degree of Aquarius both due largely to degree symbol and numerological practices so I chose to focus last months forecast more upon the Valentines Day than the day before (Feb 13) Here's a list of Feb 14th mundane events -

Another crazy but true headline (typically Aquarius)

on a more sombre note are the shootings at the Super Bowl Victory Parade in Kansas (at approx 2pm local time) and an escalation of war in Ukraine with an oil depot and another russian ship destroyed with - the ubiquitous - combat (mars) drone (aquarius). Will drone warfare rather than flower children see in the Aquarian Age?

Thanks for this interesting review, Greg Young,

A fun fact: That SpaceX mission's Moon lander's name is "Odysseus" (nickname "Odie", maybe after David Bowie's "Space Oddity"? ) and Asteroid 1143 Odysseus is now almost stationary direct, at 29+ degrees Gemini, conjunct the Aries Point = Jupiter/Uranus = Sun/Vulcanus (physical power)

Oh that's amazing though not at all surprising as it keeps going on happening over and over again. Thanks for the info, Stella.
