For those that are remotely interested in forensic astrology, this is what I've just found -
We have a Grand Cardinal Cross which means opposing forces are at war with each other and struggles with communication.
In astrology, a Grand Cross is said to occur when four planets are all separated from each other by Square aspects (90 degrees apart). A Grand Cross can also be viewed as two oppositions (180 degrees apart) separated from each other by a square. In a Grand Cross, there is one planet in each astrological element (fire, earth, air and water) but all the planets are in signs of the same modality or quality.
Because all the aspects in a Grand Cross are considered difficult aspects, the Grand Cross is seen as a source of extreme tension whereby various aspects of the personality (represented by the planets) are working at cross purposes that serve to nullify each other. This pulls the native in many directions, ultimately leading to indecisiveness and an inability to produce concrete achievements. It is said to take extraordinary effort to overcome the conflicts in a Grand Cross.
An example of a Grand Cross would be with Saturn at 15° Virgo, Uranus at 15° Sagittarius, Neptune at 15° Gemini and Pluto at 15° Pisces. This is a mutable Grand Cross, which is said to be especially difficult with respect to the problem of maintaining focus in communication. A cardinal Grand Cross is said to cause a particular difficulty in accomplishing goals because the individual wants to accomplish everything at the same time: he/she usually ends up accomplishing very little (if anything at all). A fixed Grand Cross is said to lead to a person who is well organized but does not know where to direct their talents. Consequently, those with a fixed grand cross tend to be stuck in the same place.
Also, Mercury retrograde and June is a double horse month according to the Chinese -
Events fly by, and energy is wildly fast paced in this double Horse month
NEW MOON in GEMINI
May 28 was a new Moon in Gemini. Fresh, clean energy arrived like a warm, summer breeze. Sun and Moon trined Mars in Libra bringing new strength and vigor. You can stand your ground and be more assertive. But Sun and Moon squared Neptune so if not clear, balance the pros and cons before taking action. Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, and Pluto are still in a big square so no racing off in the wrong direction like a horse wearing blinders.
The new Moon on January 30, 2014 was the start of both Horse year and Tiger month. Tiger brings powerful energy that gets Horse year started with a bang! Horse and Tiger are best friends, along with Dog, so right away Horse energy is in synch. Even retrograde planets won’t slow down the lively energy of Horse and Tiger.
On Chinese New Year, the Sun and Moon are in always in Aquarius. In 2014 the Sun and Moon in Aquarius sextiled Uranus in Aries for something new and different. Time to take risks, explore new pathways, and open doors. Horse year is superb for travel so plan that far-flung adventure!
Venus, Jupiter, Uranus, and Pluto were in a square at New Year that could cause chaos or confusion. But strong Horse thrives on chaos and action. Problems? Under the influence of the Horse, just keep moving forward and create change. Last year Snake 2013 was the time for thoughtful contemplation. Now in Horse year is the time to act! Horse correlates to the Western Air sign Gemini.
ELEMENT WOOD
Chinese astrology is based on the 5 elements of Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water.
2014 is WOOD Horse year. Like fresh growth in springtime, a Wood year is time for rebirth and transformation in all areas of your life! Now is the year to take a risk, see the world, and blaze a new trail. Swift action brings success in this impulsive, action-loving, sexy Horse year.
All sounds very auspicious, doesn't it?
I particularly like this part -
PLUTO IN CAPRICORN
The U.S. Recession began in Earth Rat year 2008 when Pluto entered Capricorn. The planet Pluto symbolizes death, rebirth, and transformation. Pluto is named after the Roman god of the underworld, a god of wealth because the riches of the Earth are in his domain: gold, silver, oil, diamonds, minerals, and precious gems. Pluto will be in the pragmatic earth sign of Capricorn until spring 2023. So the world plutocracy, governments of wealthy men or plutocrats, can now be transformed. Change will be slow in coming, but the transformation has already begun. Occupy Wall Street is an example of the old plutocracy being questioned. If protest seems violent or sudden, note that Pluto is a transpersonal form of Mars.
What ho!
If I was an expert (which I'm NOT) that would all add up to some pretty rapid unforseen changes which ruin the standing of those who believe they are in charge.
As far as the "riches of the earth" - well, that coincides with the digs, doesn't it?
So interesting, but just an aside while we wait for news. Discuss or ignore as you please.:seeya:
