From the Desk of Leslie Marlar, June ’24
STAR Guild met on the 28th and discussed a variety of topics. We will meet again on the 25th of June at 6pm on Skype. Email me if you want to join us.
What happened in May on earth and in the sky?
The weather was terrible in May with many tornadoes. Hot Mars was in hot Aries and this could have contributed to more hot air to increase weather.
In the Greenfield, Iowa tornado, Mars was in the 7th house, a strong angular house.
In the Valley View tornado, Mars was in the 4th house, a strong angular house.
In April, tornadoes were happening when Mars was in Pisces near Saturn and Neptune. The Minden and Sulphur tornadoes happened with Mars right next to Neptune.
In the Barnsdall, Ok tornado, Mars was 6 degrees past Neptune in Aries but not in an angular house; the tornado happened under the New Moon with the Moon, Sun, Uranus, and Jupiter all near each other in Taurus. The town was destroyed, Saturn, planet of loss was in the 4th, the property and land house.
We have seen Trump in the news with the trials. Uranus and Jupiter were at the top of his chart. Jupiter through the 25th of May. Jupiter is the planet of law and he is in trouble with the DOJ. He has had some luck lately with the Miami judge indefinitely postponing that trial due to her seeing tampering with evidence. And an appeal was granted in the Fani Willis, Georgia trial and delayed it. Our jury in New York will be deliberating with Jupiter now in Gemini. So Jupiter has moved from Trump’s 10th house to his Gemini Sun Sign. Both placements are good unless you are in trouble with the law. Is Trump really in trouble with the law? We will find out someday. (With Jupiter at 1 degree Gemini on May 30th, Trump was convicted. Trump’s Sun is at 23 degrees. When Jupiter gets closer to his Sun, this will probably be his winning the appeal. )
Brazil has been having terrible weather with rain and flooding. Transiting Saturn is very close to their Mars and Moon in wet Pisces in the April 21, 1960 chart for the nation of Brazil.
At mid-month in Houston there were bad storms 2 weeks after flooding. Mars in Aries is squaring the Moon in wet Cancer in the Houston chart.
A landslide happened in Yambali, Papua NewGuinea and covered thousands. A mountain gave way. The worst is feared. It happened at 3 am local time on the 24th. The full moon in Sagittaruus was very close and Mars was in Aries in the angular 1st house near the north node. Forest covered mountains are ruled by Sagittarius.
I think the trouble on college campuses has been Mars in activist sign Aries.
The heat in W. and N. Central Africa can also be Mars in Aries. And there was a fire in W. Canada. Mars will leave Aries by week 2 of June.
The DOW hit a new high on the 16th and 17th. This is associated with many planets in money sign Taurus, namely, the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Uranus, and Jupiter.
In June we are watching a few things.
Mars will continue in Aries through the 8th. Will it continue to make bad weather due to its heat?
Mercury trines Pluto early in the month and this can be good news and a focus on intense things.
Early in the month Mercury is with Jupiter and we are optimistic.
In week 1 and 2, Jupiter is trine Pluto and this creates a sense of well being.
In week 2 Mars squares Pluto, and trouble is uncovered. Let’s fix it.
The Sun and Venus in week 1 square Saturn, and we may be discouraged. Let’s perk up.
In week 2, Mercury squares Saturn – this is not the best news or very serious thought.
Also in week 2, Mercury and Venus square Neptune; things are confusing and possibly deceptive. This is continued in week 3 when the Sun squares Neptune.
As planets move into Cancer in weeks 3 and 4, their connections with other planets improve.
New Moon in Gemin on the 5th and 6th along with Venus square Saturn. We should make an effort to stay encouraged.
Full Moon in early Capricorn later on the 20th, the 21st, and the 22nd is a time to enjoy the light.
Fairly good days this month are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 14, 15, 16, 18, 23,26,& 27.
