From the Desk of Leslie Marlar, Feb. ’25
STAR Guild meets on the 28th and we have plenty of events to discuss. In Feb. on the 25th we will meet and discuss the astrology of events and people in the news, and whatever the group wants.
In January a number of events happened. The Sun was in ambitious Capricorn until the 19th , and then it went into theoretical Aquarius. As it went into Aquarius it connected with Pluto, who has not been in Aquarius since the early years of this country. Pluto is extreme and the Sun is important. We’ll look at the extreme events that happened as they come up.
On Dec 29th, a plane crashed at Muan airport in Soko and killed 179 souls. Mars was opposing Pluto and the Ascendant was with Pluto and opposing Mars.
On Jan 1, there was a terrorist attack in New Orleans. Violent Mars was opposing extreme Pluto and the Moon was with Pluto and oppose Mars.
On Jan 6th with the Moon in leadership sign, Aries, Trudeau stated that he would step down.
On the 7th the California fires near Los Angeles started. Mars was opposed Pluto and the Moon was late in fire sign, Aries, squaring Pluto and Mars. The fires are still burning.
On Jan 10th, President Trump was sentenced. The Moon was in Gemini, his Sun sign, an important day.
On the 14th a news report focused on the illegal gold mine deaths in S. Africa, where 36 died in a mishap. The Moon was in gold sign, Leo, the sign of the Sun.
Also on the 14th, the Israel/Hamas cease fire came through. Israel has 5 bodies in Leo.
From mid-January, Mars was with stars Pollux and then Castor. This places emphasis on Mars. (These are the bright stars in constellation Gemini. Pollux was a boxer and Castor a tamer of horses. And they were heroes to the Greeks in mythology.)
On the 19th with the Moon in people sign and legal sign, Libra, 3 hostages were released and President Biden gave pardons to 5 in politics.
On the 20th, President Trump was inaugurated, did many executive orders and right before the inauguration President Biden pardoned his family. The Moon was still in legal sign, Libra, where Trump has his Jupiter.
On the 21st, under a Moon phase, (Moon in Scorpio square Sun in Aquarius) it snowed buckets in N. Florida and along the Gulf coast, the Gulf of America. The Sun was early in cold sign, Aquarius with extreme Pluto.
With the Sun in futuristic Aquarius and still near Pluto, we have seen an EO on bitcoin and a planned investment of 500 billion for A.I. On the 27th, the market was down due to the details of a Chinese A.I. Company.
On the 29th a military helicopter collided with an American Airlines passenger plane over the Potomac. 67 souls were lost. Mercury in Air sign Aquarius ruled the chart and was very close to extreme Pluto. The Ascendant was also oppose Saturn. The Moon was square Uranus.
On the 31st, a Learjet crashes in Philadelphia. 6 souls are lost. Mercury is still near Pluto in Aquarius, the Moon is with Saturn, and the Ascendant is square Uranus.
This month has shown huge data for the veracity of astrology.
I will be looking at days when a planet, like Mars, is connecting ( making a harsh aspect) with Pluto and then something like the Moon or Ascendant is connecting with them. These should be extreme events.
Early in the last week of April, there will be a lot of this activity.
In February we are looking at the following.
In February, fast moving bodies are in Aquarius and then Pisces. We are smart under Aquarius and insightful under Pisces.
Mercury is with Saturn in week 4. Our minds are on serious things and we may need a lift.
Jupiter is near the star, Adelbaran, the Torch, for the 2nd month. This may give good more power. And it could be associated with the Ca. fires. Jupiter is in the sign, Gemini which is windy. So, we have wind and fire in the Jupiter near Aldebaran combo. The Sun is near Fomalhaut, the mouth of the fish that receives the water from Aquarius, on the 22nd. This sounds like generosity and reception.
Aldebaran, Regulus, Antares, and Fomalhaut are the royal stars, that use to mark the cardinal points.
In the lineup that we have been enjoying on clear nights, as of this writing, we see from west to east: Saturn, Venus, Jupiter near Aldebaran, and Mars near Castor and Pollux.
On inauguration day, Venus was very close to Saturn. We saw this expressed as Melania’s outfit. Venus is fashion and Saturn represents the ultimate tailored look. Incidentally she has modeled in Milan, Paris, and New York.
Full Moon in Leo on the afternoon of the 10th, the 11th, and most of the 12th is a creative and intellectual time.
New Moon in Pisces on the 27th and 28th is a new emotional and insightful start.
Fairly good days this month are: 1, 5, 6, 7, 9, 17, 18, 24, 25, & 28.
Please visit my website. Join us at STAR Guild on the 4th Tuesday of the month at 6 pm on Skype. And call if you need services.
