Sun: 03'Gemini
Moon: 27'Scorpio
Full Moon
My sister Fyre, who owns and maintains her own blog at Tales of Alohi, just put up a new post of some interest with regards to the May 2013 Full Moon.
Not only is it a Lunar Eclipse, but it is also a "supermoon," and as the Sun is in Gemini and a Full Moon is always a Sun-Moon opposition, the precise Full Moon is at 04'Sagittarius. (Sabian symbol: An Old Owl Sits Alone On The Branch Of A Large Tree.) Excellent time to set your ritual tools out for a night or two to bathe in the light of Luna, or to charge some climbing vine seeds for late planting. (Vines? I saw my tiny little lemon tree sapling - barely more than four leaves on it right now, still in its starter pot, double its height overnight last night!)
I've noticed a horde of fairly significant earthquakes within the last 24 hours all around the Pacific Ring of Fire. The Tsunami Warning Center usually doesn't say a word for weeks at a time, but they've pinged my phone more than a dozen times in the last 24 hours for over half a dozen earthquakes, none smaller than a 5.0 - the largest so far being an 8.3 in the Sea of Okhotsk.
While unrelated to the eclipse/supermoon, it should also be worth noting that there has been also significant solar activity over the last several days, culminating in a CME event (coronal mass ejection).
No wonder my dog has been so on edge and protective of me during the last twelve hours or so!

Full Moon
Sun: 3'Gemini
Moon: 23' Scorpio
Full Moon (within 1 day)
What a moon, what a moon - just shy of Full and I'm already feeling the effects. I don't usually go "looney" under the Full Moon, but this one seems to be an exception. Maybe it's the Earth-and-Water nature of being pregnant being acted on by the Moon? Or maybe it's just that, in the last two hours, almost every single one of my major natal placings has been immediately touched by this lunar cycle under a personal New Moon.
Reminder: there is a small lunar eclipse paired with this one, our last one for a while.
Who else is feeling it? Anyone have plans? I plan on attending the local March Against Monsanto on Saturday.

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:
