The end of May was a turning point, for Saturn finally turned direct on May 30 and Mars finally shifted out of Cancer where it was since October 2009. The heaviness of Saturn while it stationed before it turning direct was stifling.
As planets change directions from either retrograde to direct, or direct to retrograde, they seem to stand still and it takes a while before they begin to pick up speed and finally start to function normally again.
Stationing planets make for the most potent events and their degrees that they make them station must be noted, for if they are closely aspecting a natal planet in your chart the effects will be monumental. The degrees that all the planets station at is listed in my page on my website on Retrogades 2010.
Saturn is stationed at 3-4 degrees Virgo and will begin to move on after this month. Saturn rules business and this has really stifled many businesses and may have even terminated many. Additionally, Saturn has been opposing Jupiter, which can also cause delays and setbacks in the business world. People feel stuck with no ambition or inspiration. This will shift as Jupiter moves away from the exact opposition with Saturn.
In Virgo, Saturn can affect the health of many. I believe there may be some unsuspecting mysterious diseases that crop up. Be aware of the foods you eat, there may be a hidden poison that may make you sick, and furthermore I believe the poison effects can be long term. Meaning the results of this toxin will have many effects down the road. This may be in relationship to the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
Finally Mars has finally left the debilitation sign of Cancer and is now in Leo. Mars will prove much stronger here. Mars rules real estate, siblings, intelligence, courage, ambition, will power and war. Therefore, all these areas will improve or increase. The real estate market will now come out of its depression and standstill. If you have wanted to move, sell your house or buy a house there will definitely be more opportunity. And if you have felt no ambition or will power to get things done you will begin to become more inspired to accomplish your goals.
But do we really want Mars more powerful in terms of war? This can set off many turbulent attacks with more fire and momentum. Mars in the sign of Leo will empower leadership and a sense of power among world leaders. Also Mars will be opposing Neptune, which rules oil, indicating major issues with the current oil spill. And the last time Mars was strong in Leo, aspecting Neptune in 2008, we saw the oil prices increase radically, which is my prediction for this summer. Neptune rules oil and when Mars aspects Neptune the prices of oil always increase. This current oil spill will devastate many for a long time to come and the long-range effects are going to be monumental. The media and BP are covering up this secret.
June 8th Uranus and Jupiter will conjunct, which is powerful energy for sudden expansion and growth. I suspect the stock markets will spike and bring many a windfall of wealth. This is a time of sudden changes and occurrences. Expect the unexpected. In the sign of Pisces this will reveal many truths, scientific discoveries and space discoveries. Watch for amazing things to be revealed.
Around June 19-21, the Sun will come into alignment with the forming grand cross in which it will square both Saturn, Uranus/Jupiter and oppose Pluto/Rahu and conjunct Ketu. Choices of those in power will be discredited. There will be a downturn in the popularity for the President. The Sun in Gemini will reveal many deceptions of the mass media and there could be a major occurrence of communications breakdown.
At the end of the month the Sun and Mercury both converge onto Ketu in Gemini in the nakshatra Ardra. Many times when the nakshatra Ardra becomes activated there are turbulent storms and destruction from many natural disasters. This grand cross forming for the next 3 months will shake up the world. There will be more earthquakes and volcanic eruptions specifically in July and August. In the fall Pluto will conjoin Rahu (November) and can indicate a massive earthquake. The Solar eclipse is July 11th and most earthquakes occur 2 weeks before and after an eclipse. So we are in the zone all summer. This is a total solar eclipse involving the grand mutable cross. There will be a huge event. When Mars nears Saturn later in July there will extreme terrorist activity. I will reveal much more in the July newsletter. An earthquake is due to hit the USA.
Many have asked me about the future destruction that is about to occur and ask if there will be an event that will devastate the world. Will it ruin the economy? Will California break off into the ocean? Will the earth shift on its axis destroying most of the world? Is 2012 the end of the world?
To all these fearful questions my answer is always the same. There is no force outside of us that is coming down to destroy us. Everything that happens is in Divine harmony with nature and occurs only for our highest good, for everything occurs to promote our growth on a spiritual level. This is the only reason for our existence. So the seemingly negative events all occur for our growth. This also represents the laws of cause and effect. When we put out negative thoughts of anger, hate and resentment the world reflects that back to us so we can clearly see what we are projecting outside of ourselves. The planet will shake with the vibrations of the human emotions of the people. We must realize and understand that we are responsible for the predicament the planet is in. We must all come to the ultimate realization that we have the power to change things as well when we make a conscious decision to transform and work on our own individual consciousness. Everything happens to promote our growth even the apparently difficult and painful events. We are in the process of transformation and awakening of our truth, which is the realization of the illusion that is awakening us.
You see all catastrophes unite us when we get out of control and need to be brought back into awareness. We have not been living in divine harmony and events will occur that will bring us back together. As horrible as the Attacks were on September 11, 2001 that was a time when everyone in the United States bonded together to unit as one to protect and appreciate one another. But soon the anger and hostility set in again to create more separation and turbulence.
My Message
When we come from a place of the ego we are in a survival mode and do not think of the welfare of other human beings or humanity. Our self-centered pursuits separate us from others, which essentially means we are separated from God. This instills more fear and creates a feeling of isolation, which creates a world of chaos and confusion. This is where all the problems originate for our world or humanity. It is in the sense of unity that we get back to nature and connection with others and our God essence.
We must seek unity with all of life and live in accordance with the essence of the will of God. When we unite with the essence or spirit of God, which is within us, we feel plugged-in or connected and all problems dissolve for we are living in Divine order.
Understanding this from an intellectual level is one thing but does not give the sense of what this is truly about. It is important to first understand this from an intellectual level and this can be deemed as the science of God but the truth of this, or the duality is, that we must know this from the feeling side or the heart. This can be called the emotion of love. To intellectually understand love has no meaning unless you can feel it and this is an entirely different process. It is actually taking action and becoming the principals that are in your head. Love is the energy that unites and heals all human disturbances created by the ego, which is based on fear, lack and separateness. Love is unconditional acceptance that unites every human together as one, and therefore can be called the God force.
When we come from a place of unconditional love for all living creatures we are awakened to the spirit of God within us and recognize it in all creatures. Seeing this truth compels us to heal and help others for they are, essentially us. We truly understand we are one and we are a part of the God source, which is us. This realization is God consciousness and brings total liberation from the confines of the suffering created from the idea that we are separate from God, and this separation is created through the ego.
In Diivine love and peace,
Joni
