Hi Flea.
Hi Theo.
Thanks for your comments upon the opposition with Uranus, as I have wondered about this, but the trans-Saturnians aren't really my area.
What do you say about the aspect with Pluto?
Hi Draco,
Sure, you're welcome. Excellent thread by the way. The trans-Saturnians can give one an excellent view on historical events, past, present and future, that cover shorter and longer cycles of time...
Saturn's aspects to Pluto (fire trines) this year reflect the powerful personalities involved throughout the current world conflicts ~ mainly religious that have been taking place since Pluto has been transiting tropical Sagittarius.
Saturn is contra-parallel to Pluto, even both planets are near to fire trine to one another. World news is not good. Diplomatic efforts are worked against, due to the ignorance of those involved. Communication sought is not heartfelt, because of pride, stupidity, and arrogance. Expect global tensions to rise this year, and for diplomatic efforts to fail because of this particular transit.
The transit of Jupiter wants to assist, but the fire trine to Saturn this past spring has been wasted (I expected this) so the next trine between Jupiter and Saturn will be a earth trine (from Virgo to Capricorn) with Jupiter in its fall, and Saturn in Virgo in 2008. Anyone who require astrological guidance, should focus on 2008's transits, as the Jupiter/Saturn earth trine is very useful for those in the know.
Regarding Pluto:
Pluto is now in the late degrees of Sagittarius, and so, thoughout 2007, and 2008, there are many last aspects from it to the Moon that will exert themselves in a wide variety of ways, from the mundane to the personal, this year, and next, and a bit into 2009, until Neptune's transits through the late degrees of Aquarius take over. These are the last aspects of the Moon's transits to the trans-Saturnian planets before the Moon heads void-of-course.
The last aspects to Pluto reveal transformative changes happening on a global scale, as is usual with transits of these kinds. This period is a transition cycle that will continue into 2008 until Pluto's ingress into tropical Capricorn. first in late January 2008 to mid-June 2008, and back into tropical Sagittaris from mid-June 2008 to late November 2008, after retrograde, when Pluto moves back into Capricorn for good in that month of Nov. '08.
The last aspect transformative quality involving the Moon/Pluto aspects basically set people up for emotional/mental/spiritual changes, according to the position of the Moon's transits, phase, etc., and its aspects to Pluto before void-of-course starts. It is quite strong and lasts as Pluto's transits through the last degrees of Sagittarius continues in 2007 and 2008.
After Pluto, the outer planets of Saturn & Uranus make most of the last aspects to the Moon in the year s 2009, 2010 and then Neptune gets more in the mix in 2010, and 2011.
My own view of this indicates that these years 2007-2011 are critical in the sense that much of the world has not resolved many of the unresolved issues left over from the 20th century, which is typical of the world, considering that the majority of people are ignorant of the transits, thus, chasing rabbits and wearing blindfolds while doing so.
Times are changing, just prior to the decade of the 2010s, and these last years of the decade of the 2000s contain some of the most powerful transits ~ used for either good, or bad, depending on the people involved, in a mundane sense, and of course, in personal lives.
While these transits are developing, most people are taking part in a pop-culture mentality that will have serious consequences for the future because they are blind to transits. Remember that we are at the end of an age that began in 1928 with the entry of Uranus into Aries. Uranus is now in topical Pisces, and a new age will dawn when Uranus enters Aries in March 2011, and begins a long-running square to Pluto in Capricorn throughout much of the decade of the 2010s.
Much of the current pop-culture mentality, and their related issues are those of the age of the 20th century, which even in this year of 2007, we continue to experience. However, there are only four (4) years of this left, and, according to my estimates, the real 21st century starts in 2011, with the year 2010 as the major transition year.
The key to using these transits is foreknowledge, and associating with people who are aware of transits. This last point is important, because without the motion of the planets, Sun, Moon, there would be no time at all, so knowing where things are (and where they are going to be) is critical towards achieving success by reaching personal goals, and, in understanding what is happening globally.
Frankly, I would not associate with people who are ignorant of the transits. Now, by associating, I mean seriously allowing others to make much of an impact on one's life to the point of changing destiny via stupidity, which happens very often as we see in the world, national and local news.
Especially during times prior to very powerdful outer transits, like the ones just ahead for the decade of the 2010s, when, according to my calculations, and vision, the world will experience a deep economic recession (nearly depression) for much of that coming decade.
This means that the years prior to the 2010s are very important for associating with people who have knowledge of astrological transits, and who are able to work with one another to support common interests, and to do good in the world, while also protecting one another from the ignorance of the world-at-large ~ and ~ the world-at-large is very ignorant indeed because when one does not have knowledge of the transits ~ one is wholly ignorant.
It is hard for most to accept, even those who have knowledge of astrological transits, to deal with people, even relatives, family, friends, loved ones, etc., who have no idea even where the Sun, Moon, or their own planet is at any one time. These people work from blindness and therefore, are subject to the direct influences of the transits, and, as those in the know understand, and can see, the transits are always in motion.
So, to utilize the best of what the current and coming transits have to offer, one has to be awake, aware, and alive to make the best of them before times do indeed change for real... and we are coming closer and closer to this happening.
