Update on Comet McNaught's Perihelion date

In my last posting, I wrote about Comet McNaught 2009 R1and what it could signify.  Today I would like to add to that information. On June 15th and 16th the comet will come the closest to Earth at approximately 100 million miles away as it transits the 5-7 degrees of Gemini. It should be interesting to watch what happens during this time as a possible portent of the comet's message.  During this time President Obama is to address the nation in primetime TV about the BP oil rig disaster.  The United States is front and center with the comet transiting the Gemini AC for the USA.

It would seem whatever is said in his address will have far reaching effects for the nation in the months ahead if not years as the disaster has reached epic proportions already.  Will it get worse? Yes, but by how much?  There are several troubling aspects going on with the Cardinal Crisis transits, a lunar eclipse in a grand cross formation, a difficult Cancer Ingress, and a difficult New Moon which took place on June 12, 2010 at 21 Gemini conjunct with the radical Mars of the USA chart.  It's going to be a very bumpy ride this summer as I have stated before but now we have Comet McNaught 2009R1 to underscore just how important these transits are.

The comet is expected to make it's perihelion (closest transit to the Sun) on July 2, 2010 at 15 Cancer, very close to the radical Sun of the USA chart.  Furthermore, July 2, 2010, the Sun will be at 10 Cancer transiting the lunar eclipse degree of December 31, 2009, Mercury will be transiting 15 Cancer opposite the lunar eclipse of July 7, 2009, Mars will be transiting the eclipse of 13 Virgo belonging to Saros Series 9NN ( the physically expressive one according to Bernadette Brady and responsible for a few of CA quakes), and Venus will be transiting the eclipse of February 9, 2009.  In addition to this, Uranus is still in the Aries point degree symbolic of a great out rushing of energy taking place on the world stage.  July 2, 2010 is certainly an important date to watch as the danger from quakes and other disasters is extremely heightened. I cannot rule out something occurring earlier as it passes close to earth.  Afterall, June 15th and 16th would be the perihelion date in regard to Earth.  It's as if the universe has put exclamations marks around the planet and then underscored the importance of it by adding a comet into the mix with everything else.

Taking a look at the astrolocality chart for the Cancer Ingress, there shows a disturbing Saturn IC line
intersecting with the Node DS through the panhandle of Florida.  Could this be a forewarning of a possible hurricane to hit the area and thus making the BP oil rig disaster much, much worse?  Perhaps.  It would certainly be fitting with the perihelion sign of Cancer for Comet McNaught 2009R1 and have a Saturn IC line running through the area for the Ingress chart.

Astrologer Celeste Teal brought to my attention the Geodectic IC for the USA at 12 Capricorn (360-77w02)is very near the degree of perihelion for the comet as well.  It's looking like Comet McNaught 2009 R1 has a message for United States. 

There is another possibility I've been exploring and that is a major quake in California.  I have stated in several previous postings about my concern regarding a serious earthquake in California this summer.  Previously, I had selected a few key dates-- July 7, 2010 when most planets are transiting eclipse degrees and transiting Mars exact with the 4th house cusp of the progressed LA chart, and the days surrounding the lunar eclipse on the 26th of June.  I have been pondering the first few days in July for a few months and even mentioned them in an earlier posting, but with the addition of this comet making perihelion on July 2, 2010 and reviewing the transits, I think the first few days in July hold the greatest danger for a major quake in California.  In the words of mundane astrologer Raphael, he states his rules #9,  "Earthquakes may occur near the perihelion of great comets, that is, when the great comets are nearest the Sun or Earth." His rule #7 states, "Earthquakes generally happen on or near the four Cardinal points of Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn."

Also on this date we have the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Pluto transiting eclipse degrees, the Moon starting out opposing transiting Mars and coming into conjunction with transiting Saturn, and Uranus at the Aries point degree.

Watch for the next post as I will go over the charts of California, LA, and the San Andreas fault (the San Andreas chart is experimental at this point i.e. in its testing phase).
