Transit Alert for the Los Angeles Chart

This is a transit alert for the Los Angeles Chart. Beginning the evening of August 18, 2012, transits to the LA chart are active.  It's during this time, that the Transit Uranus at 7 Aries exactly opposes the Radical Venus at 7 Libra and ties in with the Transit Pluto at 7 Capricorn.  The other transits affecting the chart are as follows:

Transit Jupiter at 13 Gemini opposes the eclipsed Radical Saturn at 13 Sagittarius while the Transiting South Node hits the eclipse degree of 0 Gemini.  On August 22, 2012 there is a Moon Wobble ( Transit Sun squares the  Node) increasing the chances for seismic activity.

Transit Saturn at 25 Libra is conjunct with Transit Mars  at 26 Libra is sitting on the Ascendant of the chart and conjoins the Radical South Node at 26 Libra.

Transit Moon at 13 Virgo is conjunct the Radical Sun at 12 Virgo and moves to conjoin the Progressed IC angle ( not shown) at 18 Virgo later on that night.

Transit Mercury opposes the Radical Pluto at 4 Aquarius in the 4th house and is directly opposite the Progressed Pluto at 8 Aquarius ( not shown) during that time.

Seismic risk is elevated during this time period and will last through Saturn's transit of Libra as it hits the AC angle at 26 Libra and the South Node and finally to square the IC/MC axis at 29 Capricorn/ Cancer.  In the latter part of August and through September Transit Pluto will meet up with the Progressed DC angle at 6 Capricorn and  Uranus will join the mix toward the end of September at 6 Aries when the Transit Saturn will square the Radical IC at 29 Capricorn.

As for upcoming events in the 4th quarter of the year, the Solar Eclipse of November 13, 2012 at 21-22 Scorpio will hit the Radical Jupiter of the Los Angeles chart while the Transit Node at 26 Scorpio will square the Radical Mercury at 27 Leo -- another busy time for elevated seismic risk in the region.  

Update for Heavy Transit Alert in Los Angeles

This is an update to the previous article about the potential for seismic activity in Los Angeles during the current time period of mid July 2012.  On July 17th and July 18th, Transit Mars at 7 Libra squares Transit Pluto at 7 Capricorn, and  trines Transit Jupiter at 7 Gemini at the Radical LA Venus of 7 Libra, the chart ruler, making for a very powerful combination of energy.  It is also during this time that the Transiting Sun, at 25-26 Cancer, squares the Radical AC angle and  Radical Nodal Axis at 26 Libra. Yet, it is the Solar Eclipse chart of May 2012 that is of most concern.  So lets take a look.

In this chart, the Solar Eclipse at 0 Gemini, SE Saturn is angular and is now conjoined on the AC and lines up with SE Venus at 23 Gemini. This is important because most seismic activity occurs where the eclipse or a planet in the eclipse chart is angular.  The Transiting Sun is angular on the MC  combined with Transiting Saturn angular on the AC, July 17th and 18th.  Meanwhile, Transiting Pluto is square to the SE Uranus with Transiting Mars plugging into the equation as mentioned above. Currently, the Transiting South Node has moved into position and is separating with a conjunction to the SE Vertex at 4 Gemini. In addition, the Transiting nodal axis squares SE Neptune at 3 Pisces.  It was this eclipse that was visible in California and the eclipse path crossed over portions of California.  This eclipse chart for Los Angeles is very active during this time.

Some other curious bits occur between this chart and the Radical LA chart shown below.  Note how the SE Mars at 10 Virgo squares the Radical Vertex of the LA chart and trines the Radical Chiron at 10 Taurus.  There are no exact transits to stimulate it, but could it symbolize a fated meeting  between the two?  Also of interest is the SE Lilith is in the same degree of the Radical Fortuna of the LA chart.

Lastly, I would like to mention, ( not shown), is the Partial Lunar Eclipse of June 4, 2012 at 14 Sagittarius.  That eclipse hit the LA Radical Saturn at 13 Sagittarius, making it sensitive to upcoming transits. The eclipse was also visible in California. This week, Transiting Venus comes into opposition of the eclipsed Radical Saturn from July 16th and hits opposite the eclipse degree at 14 on the 17th of July.  The Partial Lunar Eclipse chart for Los Angeles has 17 Taurus rising, the same degree of the Radical LA fortuna and the SE Lilith.

Watch out this week.  It could be an active seismic week in California, especially from Tuesday the 17th to Wednesday the 18th.

Heavy Transits for the Los Angeles Chart

This week starting July 8th is a busy week of heavy transits to the Los Angeles chart increasing the chances for seismic activity.  In addition, Transit Uranus is opposite the Chart Ruler Radical Venus at 7 Libra and opposite the Progressed Mercury at 8 Aries which is also squared my the Transit Pluto at 8 Capricorn.  Transit Mars squares the Radical Uranus, ruling the 4th house, then oppose the Radical Moon at 3 Aries before trining the Radical Pluto at 4 Aquarius in the 4th house.  At the end of the week, Transit Mars will conjoin the Progressed Neptune at 5 Libra and square the Progressed AC at 5 Cancer.  The Transiting Sun will oppose the Radical Mars at 17 Capricorn before it's transiting trine   with the Progressed MC at 18 Pisces. Finally at the end of the week, Transiting Venus will conjoin the Progressed Mars at 12 Gemini in square to the Radical Sun.
There are really no close conjunctions made by the transiting nodes in either chart, only trines from the Transiting South Node, but the LA chart did receive an eclipse hit to the Radical Saturn from the June 4, 2012 Lunar Eclipse at 14 Sagittarius and Venus is very close to opposing that degree in the next week and a half.  Transiting Venus is also conjoined with the Radical Vertex at this time and by the end of the week will conjoin the Progressed Mars in square to the Radical Sun.

The Owen's Valley Quake of 1872

It's that time again, eclipse season.  The first solar eclipse for 2012 takes place on May 20, 2012 at 4:48 PDT and passes over Northern California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona New Mexico, and Texas before it ends at sunset.  It's the first solar eclipse to pass through parts of the United States in nearly 20 years and it happens at 0 Gemini conjunct the fixed star Pleiades cluster.  None of the charts of California, Los Angeles, or San Francisco are directly impacted by a planet or point  in this degree, but the eclipse Saturn at 23 Libra is sitting exactly on the eclipse chart AC angle in Los Angeles and in the nearly the same longitude at 118W as Lone Pine, CA; the sight of the 1872 Owen's Valley Quake.
 Could the eclipse stimulate the old quake chart to come to life?  That's a matter of speculation. Yet, there is a possibility it could in the two or so weeks following this solar eclipse because it is followed by a partial eclipse on June 4, 2012 at 14 Sagittarius eclipsing the South Node of the Owen's Valley Quake Chart.  During the week of June 3-9, 2012, there are several important astrological events going on.  On June 4, 2012 at  the Lunar Eclipse takes place  at 4:13AM PDT,  at 7:22 AM PDT Neptune turns retrograde, followed by a rare occultation (Venus transits the Sun aka the inferior conjunction) at 6:09PM PDT.  This event will not happen again until December 11, 2117.  June 8, 2012 Venus transits the Lunar Eclipse degree via opposition at 14 Gemini.  On June 8 and 9, Uranus and Pluto meet up square at 8 degrees cardinal signs, though not exact, and Saturn hit 22 degrees Libra in conjunction with the Owen's Valley Quake Moon.  Also the Transiting Sun and Mars will meet in a square aspect at 18 degrees, Gemini and Virgo, stimulating the eclipse degree from December 2011 at 18 Gemini. Time will tell.

Pluto transit and the San Andreas Fault

Here's an update on the current transit of Pluto as it makes contact with the Solar Eclipse of July 1, 2011.

Pluto is now transiting opposite the  Radical San Andreas Fault Mercury at 9 Cancer which was eclipsed July 1 2011. Looking at the Radical chart of the San Andreas Fault for the date of the Moon Wobble, there are some troubling transits that could indicate some activity.  Most important is the stimulation of Transiting Pluto to the eclipsed Radical Mercury from the 4th house.  The Traniting Sun is forming a trine to the Radical Sun but involved in a Moon Wobble ( Sun squaring the Node) well noted for producing geophysical effects on the planet.  Transiting Mars is conjunct the Radical South Node at 15 Virgo indicating trouble and  sextile to Radical Jupiter which could magnify any problem.  The Transiting Moonat 16 Taurus is opposite the Radical Uranus while Transiting Venus, the Radical Chart Ruler, is opposite the Radical Moon (??? for a noon chart), yet more indication of stress since the Moon and Venus rule the AC and MC angles in this chart.

an

In the Progressed San Andreas chart, Transiting Pluto is nearing the Progressed AC at 10 Capricorn.  The Progressed Node sits at 11 Pisces with the Transiting Sun coming to hit this point in a few days from the Moon Wobble and squaring the Radical Pluto that was eclipsed June 1, 2011.  So the time period for an event could be anywhere from a couple of days on either side of the Moon Wobble taking place on February 28th.

In addition, the chart of Japan will be hit by the Moon Wobble effect as the Transiting Sun comes to the Progressed AC of 10 Pisces while the Transiting Pluto conjoins the Progressed Chrion at 9 Capricorn in square to the Radical Uranus at 9 Libra.  However, the Transiting Node makes no exact contacts in either chart, so any activity will probably not be on the scale of previous seismic activity from 2011.

Lunar Eclipse of December 10, 2011 Los Angeles

 The upcoming total lunar eclipse of December 10, 2011 takes place in the early morning hours of 6:36 AM PST.  This eclipse is notable for California as the eclipse takes place on the AC/DC axis with the Nodes sitting on the AC/DC axis.  The eclipse does not hit any major points in the Los Angeles chart per se, but there are several transits that form aspects to the LA chart increasing the chances for seismic activity.


 So let's take a look at the Los Angeles chart below.
The Transiting Venus at the time of the eclipse conjoins Radical Mars at 17 Capricorn at trines the Radical Part of Fortune at 17 Taurus.  Transiting Mars at 13 Virgo conjoins the Radical Sun at 12 Virgo and squares the Radical Saturn at 13 Sagittarius.  Transiting Pluto at 6 Capricorn squares the Radical chart ruler Venus at 7 Libra.  And there's more.  Transiting Saturn is making an exact conjunction to the Radical AC and South Node providing important angular stimulation seen in most quake charts.  Transiting Mercury at the time of the eclipse at 4 Sagittarius is in aspect to Radical Pluto at 4 Aquarius and opposite the TNP Apollon at 4 Gemini and trine to Radical Neptune at 4 Libra.  Not shown is the Solar Arc of Saturn at 4 Leo is exact with Radical Pluto.  While no planet or point in the LA chart has received an exact hit from the eclipses this year, the Radical MC at 29 Cancer was eclipsed exact in July of 2009 with Transiting Jupiter within a 1 degree orb of square to this point at 0 Taurus--yet more angular stimulation. Also noted is Black Moon Lilith squaring the Radical MC/IC angle from 29 Aries. Some astrologers consider this empty focus point bad luck.  I can't say whether it is or not, but it is noted.  Transiting Neptune at 28 Aquarius currently in the Radical 4th house is opposing the Radical Mercury at 27 Leo and the Progressed LA Moon at 28 Leo.  It is also shown Transiting Uranus is in the Aries point degree and could point to a central important event involving the greater public.  Uranus turns direct on this day upping the chances for the unexpected to happen.  Whatever the case may be, time to be alert and if you get a chance, take a look outside after 6 am on the West Coast  of California and Canada to see a lovely, super, large, copper coloured lunar eclipse.

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.
