I have been trying to get things out in post well in advance of the current flurry of cosmic turbulence but as the last two days have proven there is no time like the present. Everything I post is correlated between planetary movements, previous signatures denoting change, the BIG picture, geo political significance and evolutionary astrology.
Next week I was planning a trip to Chicago to the ISAR conference (International Society of Astrological Research) but strange underpinnings and a weird feeling kept me from finalizing plans to the degree that I didn't purchase my ticket. Here is the line up for the next few days and changes will come fast and furious across many fronts.

Today the Sun is in Leo ( 17 degrees) starting an opposition to Uranus in Aquarius (22 degrees ) which is forming an opposition to the eclipse of February 9, 2009. Four days later it will oppose Neptune at 26 degrees ( critical degree territory) Neptune is still being influenced by Uranus in Pisces. The significance of these signatures is known to produce a " translation" as both Jupiter and Neptune are close enough to a conjunction that both will oppose the sun, singly, and in the form of a combined effort over the course of 4/5 days. the effects are compounded by the eclipses and the sun in Leo sextile Mars in Gemini (60 degrees- strengthens the sun with nervous non stop energy, angry outbursts) the Leo sun will make a square ( 90 degree angle ) to Scorpio at 19/20 degrees, the Devils Degree. Although we never know what types of events to expect from Uranus (it rules surprises), we do know that earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, high winds and storms, as well as terrorist strikes, airplane disasters, and electrical outages have happened before under similar configurations. This is not a time to take risks by placing oneself in dangerous situations. This is a very explosive time, when one is advised to error on the side of caution.

Recap August 9, 2009- Aquarius Papaers
The magnitude of this eclipse is far more powerful than the recent Lunar Eclipse 4 weeks ago, and its duration implies that it will be in full force for a little over the next three months. So like most Lunar Eclipses, this one also ushers in a transitional period of several months that will clear things out of our lives, and especially our past (the Moon), so we can continue to get prepared for the wild ride of 2009-2010-2011-2012-2013. Of note is that this Lunar Eclipse will re-trigger previous eclipse effects from those in Aquarius, especially the January 2009 Aquarius Total Solar Eclipse and the August 2008 Leo Solar Eclipse.

Elements of those eclipses will still be active for some time to come, due to Jupiter, Chiron, and Neptune continuing to occupy degrees in the last half of Aquarius, thus resonating with previous degree points activated in the past Solar Eclipses. Especially with Jupiter, the great teacher and liberator moving across many of the planetary points occupied in the Aquarius eclipses in the next 6 months, we will continue to see Jupiterian developments directly related to the 2008 and 2009 Solar Eclipses.

All these occupied points from the past few eclipses will factor into the intense Aquarian changes and manifestations occurring over the next few years.

.... It is sure to dynamically affect anyone with an Ascendant or planets between 11-17 degrees of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius, as well as those with occupied points between 16-22 Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces.

This Lunar Eclipse will provide productive opportunities and understandings to those with planets between 11-17 degrees of Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, and Aquarius. In addition, those with an Ascendant or planets in the early degrees of Earth and Water signs will benefit greatly from the changes over the next three months.

While not extremely powerful, this Lunar Eclipse will benefit us all in many ways, while curbing or crashing those who don't know boundaries and limits, or when to stop pushing. Many lessons involving wisdom and compassion will offer themselves, as will new adventures in consciousness and opportunities to demonstrate some form of mastery in using power skillfully.

From Merriman Market analyst-

"Prepare yourself. We are about to enter one of the most potentially explosive geocosmic time bands of the year. Starting this Monday, August 10, and lasting through August 26, there will be nine important geocosmic signatures occurring, with no more than 4 calendar days separating any two consecutive ones. This is known as a “geocosmic cluster.” But this one is not just any geocosmic cluster. This one contains three powerful Level One geocosmic signatures. As reported in “The Ultimate Book on Stock Market Timing, Vol. 3: Geocosmic Correlations to Trading Cycles,” Level One signatures have the highest historical correlation to primary cycles from which the longest and most severe reversals tend to follow. But it goes even beyond that, because these Level One signatures involve the explosive planets Mars, Jupiter and Uranus.

You may remember from previous columns that any time there is a cluster of signatures involving these three planets in any combination, the possibility of very large price swings is great. On Friday, August 17, the very important Sun-Jupiter opposition takes place. Historically this aspect has a 75% correlation to primary or greater cycles within ten trading days. And 50% of the time, it is a 50-week or greater cycle. We are in that time band now, and the market is making a new high for the 50-week cycle. On Monday, August 17, the Sun will then be in opposition to Neptune, another Level One signature with a 74% correlation to primary or greater cycles within 13 trading days. The passage of the Sun in opposition to both Jupiter and Neptune is known as a “translation” to the Jupiter-Neptune conjunction. Then, on Tuesday, August 18, the Sun will form a waxing square to Uranus. This powerful signature has a 76% correlation to primary or greater cycles within 9 trading days. It will also mark the end of the Sun’s “translation” to the Saturn-Uranus opposition, which began Monday, August 10. But note that Mars, Jupiter, and Uranus are present during this cluster, especially August 14-18"
