Karma and COVID….The United States and the Full Moon in Scorpio on May 7, 2020

Will the world recover from COVID-19? Will China be held responsible? Will they be prevented from buying up the U.S.? What about our debt to China? Can we believe anything the media tells us? What’s REALLY going on?
You can be sure that there is more to unfold as the wheel of karma turns. Here’s how the upcoming Full Moon lines up with the birth chart of the United States.

At this Full Moon, transiting warrior Mars is conjunct the Natal Moon of the United States in the 3^rd house of transportation, communication and the media. In Mundane Astrology the Moon represents public opinion and the people. This indicates there could be disruption or anger related to transportation, communications and yes, the media. What does this mean? People are already mad about the lies they are being told by the mainstream press. This anger is likely to grow along with frustrations about continued restrictions on travel and freedom of movement.

The Transiting Jupiter/Pluto powerhouse union connects with Natal Pluto in the 2^nd house of money, the economy and ability to buy and sell. Transiting Saturn is within 5 degrees of the karmic Natal South Node in Aquarius in the same place! It opposes the Natal North Node in Leo in the 8^th house of national debt, death, insurance and social security. In addition, Transiting Pluto is exactly opposite Natal Mercury in the 8^th house. Saturn brings restrictions and don’t forget Uranus is still in Taurus over the 5th house of the U.S. which rules the stock market, causing erratic shakeups in finances.

Again, expect turmoil, revelations and big happenings that affect our ability to buy and sell, that change how we think, how we communicate and how we get around. Even Amazon has delayed non-essential items, meat shortages are here and we are limited in how much we can buy of many things. Look for young people to be in the limelight in some way, perhaps flouting social distancing orders or partying or protesting?

The corrupt secrets that have been hidden for so long are now being revealed. Some of these secrets are exhausting to think about, disheartening and some are truly horrifying. Deception is now becoming obvious to many and as Mars moves toward Neptune more secrets will be revealed, worldwide. Here are just a few examples:

Recent Wikileaks data dump of all files on April 22, 2020
It looks like past security advisor and 3 Star U.S. Army General Michael Flynn was targeted by the FBI and James Comey in a travesty of justice.
More and more information is coming out about abused and missing children and pedophile rings that span the globe.
The horrific harvesting of organs from living people in China with over 60,000 members of the peaceful Falun Gong movement murdered for money.

The Transiting karmic Nodes have just entered Gemini and Sagittarius where they will make their journey for the next 18 ½ months. The North Node is in Gemini over the 7^th house of opponents, war and peace and foreign relations and the South Node is over the 1^st house of the country and its citizens. The close connection to militant Natal Mars and transiting financial Venus may indicate increasing conflict with our opponents regarding the financial impact of COVID-19. People will be searching for the Truth.

COVID-19 and Neptune

Neptune rules poisonous illness and is over the 3rd house of the media and opposing Natal Neptune in the 9^th house of foreigners. In Virgo, this has to do with health issues. COVID-19 and its foreign source. Neptune over the 3rd house indicates LIES and DECEPTION will continue along with alarming increases in suicide.

Licking Toilet Seats – Full Moon in Scorpio May 7th at 5:45 AM CST

Will the Internet go down? Will people wake up and stop watching the mainstream news? Maybe so, since there is a difficult square between militant Mars and Mercury. This means there can be aggression and conflict or disruption of communications. The media will come under increased criticism for its failure to report the facts, and thanks to Neptune will likely continue their deceptive ways. Will people go to alternative sources to find out what’s going on? Will the stock market continue the wild bull-ride of Uranus in Taurus? These are all possibilities.

The Sun and Moon are exactly opposite from one another, the Sun at 17 Taurus and the Moon at 17 Scorpio during this full Moon. Just as these luminaries are opposite in the sky, the Full Moon signals a push pull between the masculine and feminine, the ego and the heart, the mind and the emotions. The Moon is in deeply and often painfully emotional Scorpio, which is ruled by treacherous Pluto. Mercury conjunct the Sun and opposing the Moon signals conflict about thinking and communicating.

What will happen to health care in the United States? What about businesses that have been closed and people who are out of work? What about banks? Will people go back to school or will we continue the virtual classrooms? Will we every get back to normal? The answer is NO, things will never go back to the way they were in 2019. But maybe that will be a good thing once we have made it through the gauntlet brought about by the ominous stellium of planets in Capricorn beginning in early January.

Remember, Uranus is still in Taurus, working to shake things up until April 2026. Uranus continues the difficult square between the Saturn/Jupiter conjunction signaling more shakeups to our foundational structures. Pluto maintains its close connection to the Jupiter/Saturn union, making this a painfully disruptive continuation of what we have already experienced since the lineup of planets in Capricorn launched the new year in January.

Pluto rules excretion, so it’s no surprise that our youth are licking toilet seats and partying by the ocean as Neptune rules the ocean, poisons, drugs and alcohol.

Neptune is square Venus, making it difficult to see what the truth is. Remember that Neptune can confuse and delude. It rules water and oil and can herald pandemics. Venus rules what we value as well as money. As a result, these cloudy issues and confusion will persist for a while. But as Mars moves toward Neptune, what has been covered up will be revealed about many hidden and corrupt agendas, including COVID-19.

All this change can feel overwhelming, but it is necessary to clear the way for a new more humanitarian way of being that will begin to emerge with the Jupiter Saturn conjunction on December 21 this year. Expect more ups and downs and disturbing news and events until the Fall, when things should lighten up. Ketu or the North Node will leave the Nakshatra Mula, the Nakshatra of destruction on September 19, 2020. It is interesting that Mula helps destroy illusions and reveals the truth for good or bad.

On a positive note, Neptune makes positive connections to the Sun, Moon and Mercury, softening the impact of these more difficult influences.

Shake-ups? Order from Chaos?

The New Moon on Sunday, October 27^th portends shocking and unexpected shake-ups. It will be in Scorpio directly opposing Uranus.

Scorpio transforms people and situations by bringing up, sometimes painfully, all the hidden secrets and debris from the past, especially issues around sex, death and big power. Uranus is highly erratic and unpredictable and can shake things up in very unexpected ways. With Uranus in Taurus (earth), we could have some literal earth shaking events.

Expect chaotic and crazy behavior throughout society, from top leaders to family members and friends. Be aware of the tendency for aggressive response. This New Moon may intensify rebellions around the world. Unexpected and shocking news, changes and events may occur.

Look for ways to stay centered and peaceful. Take time for prayer and meditation. Maintain your balance and others will be positively affected. Remember that chaos happens right before we achieve a breakthrough, an epiphany and clarity.

The New Moon signals the end of one 28-day cycle and begins a new one. It occurs when the Sun is conjunct the Moon, energizing and invigorating the new start. The effects last about 4 weeks.

Mercury is retrograde in Scorpio from October 31 to November 20, so be prepared to reflect on what this heavy duty October has taught you. This is a strong intuitive time and you can use this slower reflective energy to meditate on the greater mysteries.

October 2019 – It’s Intense!

Are you feeling the intensity in the air? Do people seem out of control and irrational? Are tempers flaring and has patience gone out the window?

You can blame Pluto and Scorpio which are involved in the sometimes painful transformation we are all experiencing. On a positive note, Scorpio brings focus and the ability to work relentlessly to achieve a goal. Something you can take advantage of this month. However, be aware that Scorpio can also be obsessive and treacherous.

Pluto is about big power. It rules the powerful often hidden puppet masters of the world. It also rules, among many other things, sexuality, transformation, investigation, television, radioactivity, regeneration, treason, terrorism and revolution.

This month, Mars in Libra squares the Nodes of the Moon (October 21, 2019), making this a time when we might feel more aggressive and explosive. Libra emphasizes justice and legal activities. Expect to continue to hear revelations of hidden criminality as this transformative energy unfolds.

Let go of fear, remember that Pluto brings necessary change to clear the way for positive new growth.

A Call for Compassion

The world’s North Node in Cancer is calling humanity to be more loving and compassionate, to nurture rather than control and to operate from the heart. The South Node in Capricorn reminds us we must take responsibility for our actions and operate from a solid foundation.

We are now leaving the old controlling and domineering ways of the past behind. This is a global call to all who live on this earth, to evolve into a more heart centered way of being.
