California and the Libra Ingress and New Moon Period for 2011

In the last couple of days I've looked over the charts of California and Los Angeles though neither chart has had any recent eclipses to follow the Transiting Nodal position. Also, I wanted to check the upcoming squares of the Transiting Sun and Mercury to the eclipse degrees of 29 Gemini and 24 Sagittarius will stimulate either of the progressed charts and in fact they do. A day or two before the Libra Ingress on September 23, 2011 the Progressed Los Angeles chart is making significant transit stimulation aspects and will more than likely increase seismic activity if not an actual moderate to strong quake.


The first transit to note is the position of the Transiting Node making an exact square to the IC/MC angle at 17 Virgo Pisces.  In the Radical chart of LA, this same angle was eclipsed exact at 29 Cancer/Capricorn. So the Transiting Node is finally making an exact contact with the Progressed Axis.

Next, there is Transiting Pluto making a near exact conjunction with the DC angle stimulating the exact square to Progressed Neptune.

The Transiting Sun at 28-29 Virgo is making a square to the Progressed Jupiter and Uranus at 28 and 29 Sagittarius and Gemini and in square to the eclipse of December 21, 2010. 
Transiting Mercury will be in position to oppose the Progressed Venus at 25 Pisces and square the eclipse degree of 24 Sagittarius.
Transiting Saturn passes over the Progressed South Node at 16 Libra in the 4th house while Transiting Venus opposes the Progressed Mercury at 7 Aries and trines Progressed Pluto at 8 Aquarius.
 Transiting Mars at 2 Leo squares the Progressed Sun at 2 Taurus and trines the Transiting Uranus at 2 Aries.  While the trine suggest an easier flowing energy, the square of Transiting Mars to the Sun indicates this could also increase the stress and urge to break free.

The Transiting Jupiter position is interesting, it's conjunct the Progressed Chiron in Taurus while square within 1 degree to the Progressed Pluto. Astrologer HS Green has noted that earthquakes are associated with the fixed signs Taurus and Scorpio.  The symbolic urge of Jupiter's propensity for expansion and in square to Progressed Pluto makes for an uneasy combination given Pluto's explosive and destructive mundane reputation.  Chiron's symbolic meaning can be healing or wounding.

Transiting Neptune's trine to the Progressed opposition between Uranus and Jupiter across the angles adds to the mix and is also forming a trine to the Progressed Fortuna ( although the position of Fortuna could be off as the exact time of the Los Angeles chart isn't absolutely confirmed as accurate).  Fortuna in quake charts I have studied can be useful as guide to show when the timing is right for an event when all other factors and transits converge.

As to the timing of a possible and likely window for seismic activity, the transit really begin heating up the Progressed LA chart from September 22, 2011 passed the New Moon in Libra on the 27th.

There is one other chart I would like mention here and that's the San Andreas Fault Chart.  This chart was the recipient of an exact partial solar eclipse this summer at 9 Cancer.  The chart is untested for quake research, but I have monitoring it.  What is interesting to note about this particular chart, is the Transiting South Node is in conjunction with the Progressed Neptune at 17 Gemini at this time while Transiting Saturn in is conjunction with the Progressed Chiron at 17 Libra, Transiting Jupiter is opposite the Progressed Saturn at 8-9 Scorpio  and Transiting Mars will be forming a square to the Progressed IC/MC angle during the time period mentioned above.  The angles of the San Andreas Chart are not exactly known at the chart is set for noon.

As always, remain calm but prepared just in case.
