Countdown To One Nasty WAR!

(January 30, 2003) It's 3:00am and the Moon will be void in a few hours. I just couldn't sleep for thinking about the war that's fast approaching. I've had writer's block for quite some time, and have an idea I'm finally ready to pull together.

This article is meant both for the non-astrologer and students of astrology. I'm hoping that even the novice can see how, from an astrologer's perspective, this war is coming together very soon! While written from an educational viewpoint, this article also allows the reader a chance to observe what a professional astrologer sees when timing an event, such as a war.

The knowledge imparted here is very practical, giving the reader the chance to prepare for the days to be filled with difficult active stress! In other words, war-like developments. This stems from global issues to personal issues. It's designed to show the key dates that pull us into the war zone. There are 10 charts below from January 28-March 19, 2003. I believe the war will start mid-February, but the most serious attacks are likely to be around, well... "1..." It's my desire to be helpful and to forewarn of the days for key developments on war.

In order to simplify, I've chosen to illustrate Saturn (Sat) opposition Pluto (Plu) as the focal point in all these charts. Saturn and Pluto have been in stressful aspects since just prior to 9/11/2001. It's been a long couple of years with these two in aspect to one another. These are slow moving planets, so the effects are felt longer. The dance that these two planets have had on the world is one of war. This is just one translation for these two planets in opposition. We now enter into the forth and final phase with these two bad guys.

9/11 Aspects Revisited

Three out of the four seasonal charts for 2003 put our nation's health and armed forces foreground. I believe that this is likely to manifest in several different ways. Some ideas: inoculations become increasingly more important; more input from the CDC (Center for Disease Control); biological and chemical weapons to be used on our troops; increased emotional outbursts; general anxieties and depression. The time frames given below will highlight the aforementioned.

Below are a series of charts with dates for your information (FYI). The charts are a countdown to the heart of the war. Here's what to pay attention to:

1) Watch the dates as the count down. The location given is for Baghdad. These dates indicate very stressful times leading into, WAR. By no means is the manifestation of these stressful dates isolated to Iraq. It effects all of us, everywhere. Remember that a Full Moon occurs everywhere on earth at the same moment in time no matter where you are.

2) Notice the planets chosen: Moon (Mon), Mars (Mar), Saturn (Sat) and Pluto (Plu). For the March dates, I have added the Sun (Sun), Mercury (Mer), and Pallas (Pal) -- as they are timers.

3) Notice the geometric formations in the center. That red in the center is there for a reason. Those are dangerously stressful formation. I urge you caution on these days. Difficult situations are very likely to develop! Rest up.
