Sun: 29'Cancer
Moon: 18'Capricorn
1 Day to Full Moon
So. A friend of mine emailed a group we are both part of on Wednesday (good day for mass emailings, being that that's Mercury's day) regarding a major astrological configuration coming exact this past Thursday. Specifically, Mars + Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn in Scorpio and Neptune in Pisces, all coming to trine one another for the Grand Water Trine pattern.
Now, the Grand Trine happens fairly often - I have one in my own natal chart, across the Air signs. But usually when it happens it involves the fast-moving Moon and only lasts for a few hours, or it'll split elements (one planet sitting in a different element than the other two when it occurs close to a cusp). It's a lot rarer to get the much-slower social and generational planets involved across the same element: Jupiter, as the fastest of those three, still takes about a year to transit the 30 degrees of just one sign, and they stay together for a bit when it happens both prior to and after the most exact point.
I find it interesting to hear how the same aspect patterns can spark totally different takes on it.

Astrology and the Oklahoma tornadoes
Sun: 3'Gemini
Moon: 23' Scorpio
Full Moon (within 1 day)
As a trained storm spotter, I understand something of the challenges faced by NOAA and the local Emergency Management departments in reacting to such a swift-paced and dangerous storm. As a trained civilian search-and-rescue assistant, I also understand exactly what the communities across Oklahoma are going through right now and I extend my fullest sympathies for the all the great losses they have suffered.
As an astrologer, I have not yet gotten around to drawing a chart for the tornado event at Moore, OK. However, I spotted this on Astro.com and found it to be a thoughtful piece on the effects of the outer planets on personal lives. Often, the outer planets (Uranus, Neptune and Pluto) are thought of as being only "generational" in effect due to their distance from Earth and the time it takes for each of them to make even a single revolution around the Sun.

The magick of business and mass movements
16 April 2013
Sun: 27' Aries Moon: 14' Cancer
Psychologists and sociologists have been trying for decades to understand "the mob mentality." Usually they study it in negative terms: preventing riots and so forth, but occasionally it gets applied to wider social movements. It does not make sense, how one can get a handful, dozens, hundreds, millions, a whole nation, behind a concept that none would consider on an individual basis - and yet it can be done. History has borne out the devastating consequences of the misuse of this power. We see it daily in the insanity of the badly misnamed American "Tea Party," although to be fair there is also a good dose of schitzophrenia there that should be addressed in another post. And yet, the problem of the "mob mind" might well be best understood as both elementary and elemental.
