The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don’t do anything about it.

Astrologers Know There Is Order in the Universe
“In the TED video above, George Smoot talks about the design of the universe. What becomes clear is that for all the appearance of randomness from our perspective here on Earth, when computer modelling is thrown into the mix, an underlying order is quickly revealed. ”

The Shift Hits the Fan
The Uranus Pluto squares of 2012-2015
Uranus and Pluto have been playing hide and seek with one another for months. They have been within 4 degrees of orb of a square since May 11, 2011 (one year ago today), without ever reaching an exact square. The square between Uranus and Pluto with its accompanying turmoil and social shift hits the fan becomes exact June 24, 2012. This is the kick off point of a series of seven recurring exact squares between these two outer planets that complete in March 2015.
This first square might be particularly overwhelming since the transiting Sun will form a T-Square with these two planets just a few days later on June 29. Additionally, Pallas, the little asteroid that packs a big punch with logic, will be conjunct Uranus and part of the T-Square, so we will have yet one more planetary body at the party.
Super Moon May 5
Big, bright, and gorgeous Full Moon–see National Geographic link for pics and more. The Moon will reach Full only 2 minutes after it passes perigee (it’s closest point to Earth). This is the closest that perigee will occur to a Full Moon for this century. The second runner up for this honor occurs Jan 21, 2023.
