Curious Transits for March 9, 2011

March 9, 2011 has some interesting transits that may or may not have significance for Southern California.
Here's a look at them.

Notice the Transiting Sun has crossed the Progressed MC angle, the Transiting Node is conjunct Progressed Jupiter at 28 degrees 55 minutes activating the Grand Cross formation along with Transiting Uranus and Transiting Mercury via the square at 29 Pisces in the fixed star Scheat.  This is also the day, ( March 8, 2011 for PST) when the Transiting South Node hits the fixed star Betelgeuse at 28 degrees 45 minutes  ( associated with war and carnage) while the Transiting North Node hits fixed star Acumen at 28 degrees 45 minutes Sagittarius ( a so called 'blind" star).  Transiting Jupiter is conjunct with the fixed star Erakis noted for earthquakes.  Transiting Mars is square to Progressed Mars at 11 Gemini while Transiting Venus is conjunct the Progressed Pluto.  The last two transits of note are the Transit Saturn in conjunction with the Progressed South Node and Transit Moon is conjunction with the Progressed Sun.  It's likely to be a noteworthy day.  Whether or not it signals a quake remains to be seen.  The potential is there, but the Radical LA chart hasn't received much in the way of eclipses in the last year.  The MC at 29 Cancer was eclipsed in the summer of 2009, and the Progressed AC angle was eclipsed in June 2010.  Time will tell, but this month the risk from earthquakes is elevated and will be all month long.  Time to watch from now, the full moon period, and the 3rd and final Jupiter-Saturn opposition on the 27-28th.  It's a stormy period this month and heading into April --stay alert.
