From the Desk of Leslie Marlar, March ’24
STAR Guild will meet on Feb 27th and discuss the astrology of various people and events. Next month we meet on Tuesday, March 26th at 6pm on Skype.
Many events happened in late January and February.
In late January it was noted that 10% of UN workers in Gaza participated in the Oct 7 massacre of the Jews. This shows the depth of the Hamas/Israel conflict. This war has the Moon with the MC in Cancer squaring the Ascendant, Mars, and the S. Node in Libra. These bodies and points are angular, cardinal, and tense.
Since late January and February, Texas has controlled its border with barriers and the national guard. This is probably the presence of many planets, including Mars, passing through Aquarius, an important sign in the US chart, containing our Moon, the people and the MC, the government.
Throughout February, a focus has been on the romantic involvement of Fani Willis with prosecutor, Wade. If her chart information is correct, she has 3 bodies, including the Moon in stylish and legal Libra, and 5 bodies in attacking Scorpio including the Sun. Her Scorpionic intensity and confidence are obvious. Some of her planets in Scorpio oppose Saturn in Taurus, which would fall in Trump’s 10th house of reputation and public life.
Early in February, there were forrest fires in Chile, where it is summer. This might be the reflex action of extreme Pluto in Aquarius, the sign opposite Leo, a fire sign.
There were floods and mudslides in Ca. on the 4th, 5th, and 6th due to record rainfall. This started with the Moon in Sagittarius square Saturn and then Neptune in wet Pisces.
King Charles 3 has Cancer. Transiting Pluto very recently went into Aquarius where it squares his Taurus Moon. The Moon is always important in health.
A report was released on Feb 8th, citing that Biden was too old to be indicted and stand trial. This caused renewed reaction to his age. He also has extreme Pluto square his Taurus Moon. And On Feb 8th and 9th there was also a new moon in Aquarius square Uranus. This was like a lightning bolt. And it opposed and squared Biden’s 4 planets in Scorpio.
On February 13th a car crashed into an emergency room in Austin Tx. Violent planet Mars was within 12 minutes of extreme Pluto.
Also on this day Mayorkas was impeached. Mars is also the conflict planet.
On the 20th, an Alabama court ruled that the embryos used in IVF are children. Mars was very near Venus. These two planets produce children through sex.
On Feb. 23rd, cell phone records suggested a relationship between Willis and Wade of Georgia at an earlier date than they tesyified to. The Moon is in lover sign, Leo and Trump’s personal 1st house. (This can have an effect on him.)
In the last few days of February, very large fires are buring in the panhandle of Texas. Mars, planet of fire and destruction, is with Venus and square Jupiter and Uranus. These strong connections with other planets highlight Mars and bring Martial events. We can add to this a mall fire on Feb 29 in Dhaka, Bangladesh that killed 43 people.
And finally, kudos to Nancy Pelosi for being able to wear stilettos at age 83.
Let’s look at March.
Early in the month Venus is near Mars and promotes romance.
Early in March, the Sun is with Saturn. We expect important delays. Late in March, Mars is with Saturn. This is delayed action or action that fails.
Mars squares Jupiter and then Uranus early in the month and shows rule breaking and unexpected trouble, including fires. Late in the month Jupiter joins Uranus and can bring good surprises. This continues in April and makes this more important.
Neptune is stimulated by bodies in the early, middle, and late month and brings vagueness.
The moon phases affect weather and other events around their time and happen in March on the 3rd, 10th, 17th, and 24th and 25th.
The New Moon on the 10th in Pisces brings a new start in lour inner lives.
A Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Libra on the 24th and 25th puts a special emphasis on identity and relationships.
Fairly good days in March are: 5, 6, 10, 11, 17 18 & 19.
