Asteroid Watch

paradoxx

Pallas Athena joins Washingtonia and Union (which have been in tandem all through Scorpio) all at 16 Scorpio. Just look to the Karl Rove indictment and the news to see what this activity brings (also a triple bomb attack in Iraq).

Mars squares the darkmoon, leading to the aimless direction of events.

Asteroid Lilith has entered Libra and will pass Hopi and Hidalgo and thrust itself into the scales themeselves. The tour de force of Lilith (Triangulation; competing; selection & rejection; decisions (regarding angle or aspects;) divided loyalties; favoritism; gender stereotypes; use of sex or rejection for dominance. from http://www.treehousemountain.com/html/keywords2.html) might indicate some serious shifts of what the truth really is in the places it really shouldn't be.

Jupiter leaving scorpio indiactes that libras might come up short on karma, while scorpios get the rewards of what they reap. With the sun in play, the cycles continue foreward.

Pallas athena opposing mars retrograde, this one is coming up soon. don't push your point of view but prepare to defend yourself. These two fixed signs are relaxed from having to deal with the main issues up front and personal, but the truth of the matter is that there is a great deal of logical karma at play, and we are having to pay off what we need to. Mars in Taurus is practical while pallas in scorpio is too the point, juno in gemini won't play into the gult game, no passing hands for the victomhood here.

pholus enters Sagittarius

first of all see http://tarotforum.net/showthread.php?t=48674 for pholus information.

Unexpected change is the key, a shamanic death so rebirth can take place, making one stronger through difficult trial.

While retrograde earlier in 2005 from 3/3 to 8/7 pholus put us through a difficult trial and error process, and it's mostly over (at least the scorpio part). At thsi point eitehr your are feeling very positive or just exhausted or perhaps a little of both, use this remainder of scorpio pholus to channel your deeper self and your deeper values, make the cost tangible.

Washingtonia and Union are joined in Scorpio, at a difficult time too, multiple topics are overlaying eachother like lasagna. Just ahead of those two asteroids is pallas athena, providing direction for the time being, and it looks kind of deep, so prepare for the butting of heads.

Hispania is trine to chiron, finally, a healing process (although a rough one) is in place and unlike how it trined hopi and hidalgo, chiron is going faster and direct (as opposed to retrograde and stationed) leading to future expectation and uniform quality. There is a push to make things better with this placement that is not going to be absent (hispania is a nuturing asteroid, very traditional) .

Ute is going stationary, keep your head up and keep on climbing, secure your foothold and use the ladder when you can, be aware and be alert. Leadership comes in strange places sometimes, so don't be surprised if you feel in charge. Use this to secure your lifestyle.

Chiron is also sextile (suprise) Pholus, energizing the pholus energy as it enters a new sign. Just don't amputate the leg to prevent a heart attack, something doesn't make sense about that. It's going to take time for this to complete its process (advanced by retro mars opposing the sun and juno oppose pluto), there will be moments of quick transition w/o any going back.

Pholus will enter Sagittarius on the 19th of november, take a deep breath and prepare for the new long haul.

Analysis, November 11 2005

where to begin, how about in Leo. Tisiphone (ruling the karma of the family sort) has entered the fixed fire sign, leading us to realize that we need to actually be kind to one another or risk the strongest of ties.

Hebe is fresh in Sagittarius, where intense depth of scorpio changes what we see, what we think we see, and what we thought we should have seen in the service world. This is a time of transformation, especially so close to hybris (ruler of conditioned destiny and glass ceilings), not that we are looking for comfort (or security) but for good karma. A time of change that is for sure.

Latchesis, the ruler of intervention and the unexpected challange, in Capricorn, putting the supreme structure (represented by Capricorn) squarely in view and squarely in charge too. Trine to mars is playing havok with our career options. With Venus included in Capricorn, there is a strong feeling of something big is getting ready to be implemented. Try not to look suprised.

Klothos, ruler of promises and expectations, is leaving Capricorn, something that was promised might be revoked by a higher authority, this usually has to do with governmnet and large institutions and places of business, big changes are underway and entering aquarius means fixed changes too, directly conjuncted to chiron indicates that this is a healing process.

Astraea in Aquarius puts a damper on the mood, Blocked closure; staying to “the end” are the key words here, and they are hitting hard in this sign. With an approcahing opposition to Saturn in Leo, there is a failure of general respect here, lack of a properly diverse employer base has taken its toll and there just isn't enough to take the current road, wherever it leads. Neptune might cloud our judgment or perhaps fine tune it, either way-express yourself with diligence.

Atropos, endings and conclusions, in Cancer. Emotional trickery is the worst thing to do about now, keeping in touch with people is up to the one who alienates those from him or her. Being close to Vesta helps with emotional distancing and diligence to a work ethic will help make th tiem go by a little faster when needed.

Taking us back to Tisiphone, awaiting new instructions from Chiron heading into opposition, and ready to transmit all the news, good and bad alike.
 

paradoxx

Pholus has entered sagittarius, be careful of sharp objects.

America and mercury are conjunct, and washington is in a uproar with the cia leak investigation, war talk-and withdrawl. Washingtonia and Union are steady in conjunction in scorpio, and trine to vesta in Cancer--the nature of a National Capitol (D.C.) is predominant in just about everything right now, just look at the price of gas (which is dropping thanks in part to spanish petrolium relief). Also trine to America is the north node, putting destiny and fate squarely in front of us, being too easy just might allow for a worst case scenerio, but natural flows and ebbs of this situation will bring forth some interesting (very interesting) cause and effect reactions.

hopi and Lilith are conjunct in Libra, with Hidalgo ahead by two degrees, Hispania is stuck alone in virgo still but is ready to enter into the scales of balance. Square to venus (capricorn) and trine to Neptune (aquarius), there is a strange ambience around, it is one that is not allowed to have a foothold on either side of the situation.

Ceres approaching pluto is demanding that things take a more proactive look at food and sanitation especially, Sagittarius is a demanding and very strict sign, and one that is good advice to avoid the bad side of. Juno in opposition thereof can be fun, but keep it real.
 

paradoxx

shifting authority

mercury (on his return motion to saggitarius after his first water to fire retrograde) will meet up with union and washingtonia, in Sagittarius. I guess this is a good time to say that union and washingtonia are going to enter sagittarius, where pallas-athena has already entered.

The sun is conjunt to Asteorid America, meetin gup with transformative pluto and ceres, ready to enter Capricorn, government regulation on food and safety is going to be a top issue soon.

Chiron has entered Aquarius, reopening the gates to the new age excitement. Venus shortly behind is encouraging active partiicpation and raising expectations (which will be regulated duirng the venus retrograde).

Hopi, Lilith , and Hidalgo are all in Libra, and Lilith is catchign up to to Hidalgo (thus shifting the order in which thingsare taking place). In libra there will be some fariness, but it will take some time to take hold. this is known as 'containment' and a thread referring to containment was created in 2003, http://www.tarotforum.net/showthread.php?t=17742



Vesta in cancer retrograde is demanding, and disruptive, don't try to set plans into stone, Juno in gemini retrograde isn't much easier, don't take things too personally, but keep your position firm as not to give mixed signals about your viewpoint.

All of this is being activated by jupiter and mars stationary opposition, a strong activating issue that has money as the top issue, progressing with aggression, and masculane dominance at the bottom, going statinary and moving foreward again to achieve the needed goals. Equalitarian authorities are becoming so commonplace that other issues are trumping the current facades.

Quick descpritions of each asteroid

America-Large continent between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, World superpower.

Washingtonia-Associated with the City of Washington, U.S. H.Q. located in the U.S. District of Columbia on the Atlantic Seaboard near the Potolmac River.

Union-Agreements and associations, governments, groups, families, and family ties. Common goals and group gatherings.

Hebe-Service work, To Serve. From waiters and waitresses, clerks, data compilation, but also includes labor workers and office based professionals. Directly associated with job titile and heirarchal structures of established workplace practice.

Pallas Athena-Greek Goddess of Wisdom, associated with the white owl and Zeus's thunderbolts. Athena guides us how to work with others and makes sure that the rules of engagement are followed with honor and assurances.

Sisyphous-Greek mortal who defied Zeus and was forced to push a boulder up a hill for all eternity. A good phrase to associate would be 'the uphill climb.' Doing things right or wrong for all the wrong reasons,

-------------------------------

Asteroid America is currently in a trine to darkmoon lilith and conjunct to pluto, it is easy to get into a very anti-u.s. mood right now, and there is plenty of reasoning for it too (see CIA leak scandal, the Iraq occupation and the general lack of medical care for the severly disabled and disadvantaged). America in Sagittarius is testing our national resolve and our national knowledge,

Washingtonia and Union are conjunct in the other side of Saggitarius, pushign foreward with what America already knows. Lagging this far behind America, these two asteroids (representing the authority of the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of not only the nation but each state of the union) will be filtering their energies through sagittarius for quiet some time, think of it as a delayed reaction to the immediete situation in the states.

Hebe is also in sagittarius, awfully close to mercury, and closing in on pluto (employee turnover perhaps, but more than likely just a minor change in the general appearances and procedures). Pluto's intensity will require imagination and wit to survive.

Pallas Athena is in the middle of this sagittarius mix, tactics and planning are the needs of the day. Wisdom is looked at as a philosophy right now, don't waste it.

Sisyphous is in scorpio (and almost into sagittarius), at this point there seems to be no other way to do things than for all the wrong reasons---don't!!! Deep scorpio demands taht things are taken seriously, sagittarius will demand that things are followed through with apporpriate positive or negative karma, whilen o good deed goes unpunished, no bad deed will go unforgotton.
 

paradoxx

Hopi-native american tribe located north of mexico in the colorado/arizona/new mexico area, asteroid is associated with home issues as well as possessions or assets being taken away (in reference to the forced relocation to reservations.) as well as native american heritage of the southern rocky mtn desert.

Hidalgo-a spanish title of nobility granted by spanish royalty, indicates a level of trustworthyness, a county in southeast New mexico is called Hidalgo County. asteroidwise-relates to the spanish/mexican cultural symbolisim and spirituality (day of the dead and so forth) and hertiage.

Lilith-in the Old Testament, in conjecture, Lilith was Adams first wife, she is the queen of dark energies and unwelcome situatiosn that demand that an uncomprimising stance be relaxed, which goes against our first impulse.

-----------------------------

Lilith is ready to enter Scorpio (currently at 26/27 libra)
Hidalgo has gone stationary and retrograde in Libra (20/21 libra)
Hopi continues to move foreward and break conjunction with hidalgo (20/21 libra)

Venus retrograde is approaching asteroid america in capricorn, meanwhile hidalgo in retrograde will be square to the venus/america conjunction. Neptune on the other hand is trining Hidalgo and is pushing for a review of recent and not so recent events, psychic intuition is prominant.

These are some very exact aspects, and the natural flow of events is reassuring that, don't stress out about the lack of follow through, determination and long-standing success are the keys to a better future.

asteroid lilith is nearing the sexual sign of scorpio, there is a powerful mark of future and past problems, and the position we have in our communities, relax and let your life take its natural course, things happen, don't take it too seriously.
 

paradoxx

Lets begin this time in Aries, while not occupied by any asteroids that I entered into my data charts, the north node is there, and closing in clockwise to the sign of pisces. The node is sextile to chiron and trine to Saturn, the fire signs are pushing for resolution, but are being met with cold capricorn, who remains in charge but only after a re-evaluation of their positions.

In Taurus, Phaethon and Sphinx are there. Phaethon has influence of our vehicles of choice, and our responsibilites thereof, Sphinx guards our secrets, sometimes too well. Take care when asking for details, you may get shot down, and Taurus is known to uphold their end of a bargin. Mars in Taurus is adding massive amounts of energy

Gemini, Persephone and Juno. Persephone rules our trasitions in life, from adolecence to adulthood, going from one job to another, What we cling on to, what we want to keep and take care of, what we choose to release for better or for worse. Juno rules fairness. Your situaiton is exactly influened how you influeced it, but don't let that discourage you, if there is no fiarness on your side-don't fight tooth and nail, just keep your head up and let the truth disolve the binding keeping you still. Gemini is rarely still so don't expect this kind of sitaution to always be the same, look for the opening and go for it.

Cancer, Vesta retrograde (going direct in a week). Vesta has connections to the "greater goal" and is tied into the concepts of hard work and endurance. these final retrograde steps are hard to seperate from the overall feelings in the air, once direct again (just in time for mercury to go retrograde) initiative and work endevours will be full steam ahead, watch our for the mercury retrograde. Cancer will help stabilize things once a current is initiated, Cancer really does hate stagnant events.

Leo, Housing asteroid nemesis, retrograde, and opposing the sun in late Aquarius. Challanges and achievments will be overshadowed by your 'nemesis' wheather a real person or just a concept. This is being overly enhanced by the moon (in full opposition to the sun by later tonight) andmay result in effective changes in the leadership or lack of leadership issues that have been a reality lately. Leo is also occupied by Saturn, demanding that what has been taught and learned is lived up to, Saturn's energy is still retrograde but that is getting ready to change, expect challanges.

Virgo, with teh 2nd degree occupied by the darkmoon and the last degree occupied by victoria there is a sense of accomplishment at hand, yet one accomplishment begats another resonsibility, be warned and be aware your positions may be in jeopardy. Victoria leaving virgo pushes the system of balance and fairness to address what in system of intellect and achievment does not, the darkmoon will put pressure and, unfortunately, stereotype on the overly intellectual and successful, while the more balanced and ready to integrate have been left out. Virgo is the achiever and the purity of heart, the perfectionist as well as the clutterbug.

Libra, Hispania, Hidalgo, Hopi, and Lilith are all in this sign, Hispania is retrograde @ 8deg, Hidalgo and Hopi are both retrograde @ 21/22 deg, and lilith is direct at 29 degrees ready to enter Scorpio. Native North and South America, Spanish, and Portiguese relatives and friends will be feeling this, the push away from scorpio and back into the heart of libra, as a reassertion of equality for everyone. If the attitude is 'only me' then the imbalances will become more apparant and the situation more unstable, Libra needs counterbalance to the weight being hold, but be honest about the content of what is held, or imbalance will remain.

Scorpio as of right now is only occupied by jupiter, lending financial support for our deepest and most intense needs and desires, sometimes it's what we don't know we need. Once lilith enters scorpio though, there will be a level of discriminatin and a removal process will take place.

Sagittarius, Pholus, Sisyphous, Union, Washingtonia, and Pluto. The constant uphill battle over the authority of rulership meeting up with the great transformer Pluto and the Galactic Center. the Spotlight is on the truth right now, and all that deception covering it up like cheap white out will be burned away. With Pluto incojunct to Mars though, initial actions and reactions may be stalled or initiated differently catching and probably keeping everyone off guard. SAgittarius is exciting but also rigid, development still needs to occur for a intelligable output.

Capricorn, occupied by pallas-athena, hygiea, venus, America and Ceres. pallas athena wants things to be organized and direct and she will make sure of it with force. hygiea wants good health and prosperity for all, she will do what she can, both of these socially minded asteroids are in teh first third of capricorn. Venus and America, both wedged in the middle of capricorn, want things to move foreward, and I don't think that looking back is on the agenda so thigns better get done right. ceres rules the pack on this one, venus is still in post-retrograde reorienting and thsi asteroid wants the food supply to be done right. Capricorn is a very thourough sign that does not give up on their positions readily or easily. Realisim is the key, anything over the top or underworked will be discarded almost immedietly.

Aquarius, occupied by chiron, navajo, neptune and the Sun. Aquarius has his hands full right now, energy from lost conversations have haunted the water bringer for far too long, this sun cycle through this sign bring a new meaning for aquarius, diplomatic authority. The opposite is leo, which is royal authority, aquarius would be the opposite of royalty, and thus would be diplomacy. Chiron wants to despretly see some changes in our social structure, and further more, actually reinforce the status that America gives to itself as a reality. Navajo is mixed in with this, in need for attention and resolution. Neptune and the sun near th end of aquarius is giving a strange combination of delustion, intuition, imagination, and warning, stay sharp and be focused, Aquarius has the tendancy to be extreme.

Pisces, Mercury, Uranus, and Industria. Mercury will be retrograde in a couple of weeks, uranus is direct but very very slow, andd industria holds authority over business in general. By the itme the sun eters pisces next week, industria will be in a powerful state as it approaches aries and merges its energies with the north node, directing the way of things for a while with lots of construction and the benifits that temporary construction work provides for a community.

update: asteroid lilith in retro

now moving backwards in libra, and leaving scorpio alone for now, just in time for the moon to now cross and eclips this asteroid. Lunar energies will domnate for now, don't be too vengeful, after the moon enters scorpio there will be a payment in full, watch your words and voice, it tells more than you might expect.
 

paradoxx

planets, asteroids, and astronomical points, oh my?

first the oppositions

Chaos and Mars will oppose pholus (gemini/sag)
Venus and america Oppose Ute (Cap/Cancer)
Saturn oppose Chiron (Leo/Aquarius)
The sun will oppose the darkmoon (Pisces/Vir)
Mercury oppose Chao (pisces/Vir)

along with all of this is venus in conjunction to Ameirca in Capricorn which comes at an interesting time with issues such as port security and international ownership of inbound commerce.

touching upon each one

Chaos and mars opposign pholus is going to be the active one for wendsday, the worldk place will be abuzz, questiosn will be asked, business will move foreward, and expectations will be upheld for everyone or ther will be karmic payment.

Venus and America oppose Ute, more importantly, direct venus is conjunct america, asteroid Ute I predict will reveal the fact that the Ute tribes in Colorado and New Mexico will be exempt from the Abramoff lobying scandal (currently dropped from the news). venus conjunct america will reorient the general current feelings to the american continent to a more positive attitude.

SAturn oppose Chiron, this long standing opposition is financial and based on the concept of self-worth. This concept has been happening for a goood 26 years with 27 contacts, see http://www2.bitstream.net/~bunlion/bpi/BigAsp6.html#Sa180Ch for details. This gelling of the last two decades will form a standard of civil behaviour that will be similar to many of the media's presentation of our society (think modern Star Trek meets Friends set on the stage of American Idol, that is if you can think that way) chiron is healing the woulds that the world has endured for the last century.

the Sun oppose the darkmoon, this is a brief transit that occured this tuesday (Feb 21st) and resulted in a lack of energy
and disruption to long-term goals. A reanalization of social expectaionts will be the theme for the rest of february at least due to this opposition.

Mercury oppose chao, akk, more chaos, and in a mercury ruled sign too. To boot mercury will be retrorade on the 2nd of march (the countdown has begun) and will oppose chao again. communication needs might be a little jumbled, but the general direction will keep the reality of the situation firmly planted, you may have trouble staying focused on any one thing, or understanding simple phrases due to possible stress.

All in al, these oppositions are far from troublesome, but keep you mind sharp, and watch what you ingust, you may not have to eat so much if you eat right.
