Guest guest Posted May 20, 2002 Report Share Posted May 20, 2002 Dear Group, Here's a current Forecast. Hope is is helpful. doug riemer Forecast - May 19 A calendar month May Forecast was not composed because the path ahead depended upon April results. Further, this astrologer was immersed professionally and personally in May's gathering planetary energies. April did bring international warfare in the Israel/Palestine violence, which unfortunately continues. Benefics Mercury's and Venus's entrance in Taurus at the end of April did not sufficiently stimulate intelligent cooperation. (Note: benifics are helpful or "good" planets and malefics are harmful or "bad" planets.) The May planetary alignment, newsworthy because it is so visible in the western sky, is not dramatic in Vedic Astrology. This astrology's use of the sidereal zodiac (actual astronomical positions) splits the planets into Taurus and Gemini. Further, major alignments, as they contain a mix of beneific and malefic planets, good mitigates bad. Recall the 7 planet alignment in May 2000 was uneventful. However, other potent influences heighten tension and violent energies which must bring significant international events these next few weeks. Mercury's retrograde from May 16 to June 9 has already caused confusion and a rehashing of previous events and issues, and this includes religious fanaticism. A morning lunar eclipse in Scorpio on Sunday May 26 kicks off the most sensitive period. Emotions will be fragile and common sense elusive. The Moon is fallen in Scorpio, making this eclipse even more destabilizing. On Monday, May 27, Rahu (the head of the snake) approaches Saturn within 1 degree, signaling major violence at 3 AM, EST. The Saturn/Rahu conjunction kicked off Desert Storm in 1991. Of further concern is that retrograde Mercury crosses the Sun May 27. This combination ties egos to minds, blinding objective response. Adding distressed and miserable lunar perception suggests reactions to violence will be excessive and thereby more harmful than the initial violence. Uncontrolled escalation in mideast hot-spots is the issue, and this includes U S military actions there. Tuesday, May 28 is particularly sensitive, for this is Mars (warfare) day, and Mars aspects the Moon. 9/11 was a Tuesday. Terrorist acts that day are predicted. This volatile period continues through June 12, as Saturn and Rahu continue within 1 degree of separation; and we have a solar eclipse beginning the early morning of Tuesday, June 11, again Mars' day. This Forecast is not intended to alarm but rather suggest caution and caring. Because planetary transits impact the world through individual actions, be aware you also may find this May 26 through June 12 period difficult. However, each person's chart and cycles are singular, and while you may not have stressful events to deal with, others around you will, and this is thereby a time for alert compassion.
