Astro-logical Forecast for Friday & Saturday 11/1-2/2013: News From Underground

Should be a busy day. Whereas yesterday had only one exact planetary pattern, today we’ve got a boatload — much of the action we can expect has been covered in prior forecasts. If you happened to be up this morning at 1:26AM ET (other time zones, please do the math), you may have experienced a jolt, revelation, power play or other disruption, as the peace-seeking Libra Moon was challenged by the never-ending Uranus-Pluto square. That square, a.k.a. The Planetary Pattern Everyone Should Be Talking About, will be exact for the fourth of seven times at 7:13AM ET; it’s happening with rebel Uranus at 9 degrees of Aries and ruthless Pluto at 9 degrees of Capricorn.

If you were born 8-10 days into Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn or if you have a planet or angle around 8-10 degrees of those signs, you are feeling the push for emancipation and empowerment more than most. The fifth exact square will be on April 21, 2014…at 13 degrees of Aries and Capricorn.

As discussed yesterday, along with the buzz of Uranus-Pluto, this day offers much potential for serious focus and revelations as a result of investigation — perhaps driven by idealism. I’m already seeing plenty of “news from underground”, including a tunnel used for smuggling discovered at the U.S. – Mexican border. Also, a notorious “architect of the Holocaust” who escaped capture in 1945 is now believed to have been killed and buried in a Jewish cemetery in that same year.  And if you’ve been following the phone hacking scandal in the UK involving editors of newspapers controlled by Rupert Murdoch, you would have learned yesterday that two of the editors now on trial — Rebekah Brooks and Andy Coulson — had a secret, six year-long affair. And all three of these stories are on the homepage of the New York Times right now as I type. Coincidence or conspiracy?

Meanwhile, I am delighted to find Edward Snowden back in the headlines simply because I expected him to be making news as a result of some reach of ambition around Halloween. What has he done? Well, apparently, he’s gotten a new job. What’s going on in his horoscope? Believe me, planetary patterns are loud and clear. Would you like to know what’s going on in your horoscope? Consult your local astrologer for details.

Last but not least, you may recall an article posted earlier this week about the dire challenges we face as a result of climate change. As a follow up, here’s how that crisis may impact investors, according to Al Gore. If you happen to be an investor, read that article and learn how to avoid the “carbon bubble”. You’re welcome. There’s a gold “Donate” button to the left of this forecast on this page if you’d like to make a donation, with gratitude — so I don’t run out of midnight oil. Is it too late to say “Trick or treat!?”

On Saturday, the Libra Moon is void from 8:47AM – 1:35PM ET. After that, Moon will be in Scorpio, looking to fulfill its need for depth and substance. Patterns are light; your Saturday date night is aided and abetted by a dreamy connection between the Moon and nebulous Neptune. Don’t forget to turn your clocks back one hour, as Daylight Savings Time officially ends at 2AM ET on Sunday. The new lunar cycle begins at 7:50AM ET — in Scorpio — and it’s also an eclipse. I’ll write about that later this weekend. Stay tuned…
