Sun: 24'Gemini
Moon: 29'Leo
A burst of colorful flowers in the sky, fading away in smoke trails just before another illuminates the night. A campfire crackling merrily away, toasting your marshmallows, before it escapes the confines of its coals and transforms into a raging wildfire. A volcano spewing embers into the storm it generates to wreathe its own summit in rainless lightning a la Etna, or fountaining smooth streams of heavy basalt into the sea as Kilauea so iconically does A candle, steady or flickering in the wind. The scent of bread baking in the oven and meat roasting on the barbecue. The light by which you read these words. The fury of the nuclear fusion at the heart of the warm sunlight on your skin (and the painful red burn it may leave after)...
These are some of the physical manifestations of Fire.
Earth may give us form and Water life, Air is breath (or death). But no element has brought people together again and again the way that Fire does. It is as beautiful as it is dangerous, tough to contain but impossible to live without.

25May2013 Lunar Eclipse and the March Against Monsanto
There will be a penumbral Lunar Eclipse on that day at 04'08"Sagittarius. According to CafeAstrology, the Sabian symbol for that degree is:
"An old owl sits alone on the branch of a large tree."
I don't use the Sabians often, but I find they frequently have chilling accuracy with regards to eclipses, and the effects of an eclipse will reverberate for six months after a lunar or a year after a solar (until the Sun returns to the eclipsed degree and begins a new cycle).
On that day, a worldwide protest is scheduled to protest the use and development of genetically-modified organisms (GMOs), which are at this point a large portion of our food supply and are showing devastating links to major health issues, the evolution of "superweeds" and the overuse of pesticides, which is contributing to the sharp crash in the global domesticated bee population (or, as some call it, the Bee-pocalypse) that threatens the global food supply.
Given the conjunction of these two events, and also in respect to the multiplicity of events and times on that day, I will explore the astrology of the march, without tying my interpretation down to any particular location. (The chart is drawn for Greenwich, ENG for convenience and uses the time as given by NASA. Though the Sun and Moon are about a degree off exact in the chart as shown, the difference is negligible and will not affect chart interpretation.)
I will join this March Against Monsanto and support it locally, but I hold out little hope of it actually creating the change that needs to be made. Astrologically, it's just not there. The symbol does not support it - wisdom (owl) goes unheard (alone) by the world (tree), nor does the chart carry the powerful indicators of a sea change. See below the jump:
