TALES FROM THE MERCURIAL MUSE

AN ASTROLOGICAL BLOG

The Full Moon is a highly potent and transformative phase that amplifies emotions, heightens intuition, and creates profound insights bringing them all to light.


It represents the culmination of the two weeks prior from the New Moon when intentions are set.


The full moon marks the moment when we should start releasing what no longer serves us for our highest good. It is important, even vital to embrace self-care practices during this phase to maintain emotional balance. In that, we need to break free from our busy schedules during the there days of the full moon, in dedication to ourself spending time in purposeful reflection. Just as the moon is in full reflection of the suns rays, we too are experiencing that same full glow in the reflection of the sun in ourselves.


Each zodiac sign experiences the Full Moon’s impact differently, based on their inherent traits.


Aries ♈: Boosts energy and confidence; great for taking action.


Taurus ♉: Enhances focus on security and indulgence in pleasures.


Gemini ♊: Increases social interactions and communication.


Cancer ♋: Heightens emotions and intuition; focus on home and family.


Leo ♌: Amplifies creativity and desire for recognition.


Virgo ♍: Brings attention to detail and practical matters.


Libra ♎: Emphasizes balance and harmony in relationships.


Scorpio ♏: Intensifies emotions and transformative insights.


Sagittarius ♐: Inspires adventure and expansion of horizons.


Capricorn ♑: Heightens ambition and focus on career goals.


Aquarius ♒: Boosts social activism and connection with others.


Pisces ♓: Enhances intuition and creativity; focus on spirituality.


For fun, I created a Meme for the full moon based on each zodiac sign:

Crowdstrike released a software update that crippled many parts of the world through technology today. The event happened at UTC 04:09 7/19/24, and people are looking for answers. As Astrology is not yet in mainstream use for predicting events in real-time, just know that it is a real viable source of predictive signifiers that can be confirmed through professional analysis.


To do this, we must have the correct information to study. In all cases for this to be accurate, we need several pieces tangible evidence. This includes:


  1. The ‘birth’ date and time of the entity. This can be a person, place or event.

  2. The entities birth location.

  3. The current location of the entity. In astrology, this is considered ‘Relocation’.

  4. The date, time and location of the event.

  5. The astrology chart with exact date and time of the previous new moon, to use with 'The Cosmic Key' method of predictive astrology.


Note: For ease, astrology uses UTC time references so anyone can compute correct times using local timestamps.

Who knew that in 2010, the creation of an empire would culminate into such an epic failure. Using an ephemeris, it could have been forseen - but that's a big task and an unlikely one at that.

THE BIRTHDATE AND TIME OF CROWDSTRIKE


4:55:54PM, June 7, 2010, Wilmington, Delaware (08:55:54 UTC)


There are many who are using different dates for the natal chart of Crowdstrike. Some are using the SEC records when the company went public, others the date of Incorporation, and there may be other natal charts being used as well. They all have their own merits, however, Destinology has determined that the correct ‘time of birth’ for Crowdstrike is the day the website was registered. This is a hard number down to the millisecond, timestamped with ICANN, the worldwide repository of WHOIS information for all domains.


This determination comes from years of studying companies and tracking their growth processes. While the ‘idea’ of a company and a chart for that has a special place in astrological study, there are also benchmarks for determining phases of their development. The registration of a website infers the willingness of a company, or a persons ‘idea’, to be set into motion for communication. Much like a baby cannot cry until it is born, a company cannot communicate until its communication channels are open. The date and time a company registers its name with ICANN is just that moment.

THE DATE OF THE PREVIOUS NEW MOON


By using the predictive astrological method “The Cosmic Key” created by Master Astrologer Ron Watson, we can examine the transit chart for the native's birth chart to see if there are certain astrological markers at play.


In short, the method connects three charts. The natives birth chart, the chart of the new moon prior to the event, and the chart for the natives progress moon. One must overlay all three charts and look specifically to transit Saturn, transit moon, and the progress moon. If one can find two or more aspects from any of these, then the chart has viable outcomes and one can be forwarded about the month’s events connected to transits over the natal chart promise. The natal promise is everything about the native that is written in the natal chart. Every month resets, so a current new moon chart is always necessary.


PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER

The Mars/Uranus conjunction of 2024 is living up to its antagonistic reputation, and Crowdstrike is living up to its name - Crowd+Strike.


In this next section, I will highlight some chart points that could have predicted this event. Astrology does not tell the exact future, but it can provide insight to know ‘where’ to look and be cautious and preparatory. I’m just going to cover the main malefic aspects, as there are too many to talk about every one, as you will see from the charts I will share below.


CROWDSTRIKE NATAL CHART

ree


There are many difficult aspects to this chart, however I will only mention the critical degree conjunction of Uranus and Jupiter at Zero degrees Aries in the 5H of Pisces. The 5H represents the house of creation. I suffice it to say they have created many things, although they will most likely be best remembered for the nuclear level (Jupiter) unexpected technological crash (Uranus) of the global economic system. Jupiter & Uranus mixed together is a recipe for large unexpected events. Adding Uranus/Mars made it an epic shit show. It bodes well with their purpose, being on alert for large level threats, however the particular activations of this month put it in their court.



CROWDSTRIKE.COM NATAL GRAND CROSS

ree


Square aspects (those at 90 degrees) are the most difficult in any astrology chart. There is multiple levels of tension between the two planets at right angles to each other. And there are four right angles. Though it looks a little warped, there are orbs of influence here. The Sun has a maximum orb of 15 degrees while the outer planets can be up to 9 degrees. This makes a chart aspect pattern called a Grand Cross and it can be and usually is a very difficult pattern to manage. Every time a transit planet passes by one of the natal planets in the cross, it activates the entire cross.



ree


This chart specifically show a 144 degree Golden Yod pattern from the natal chart. The apex is at Pluto in Capricorn in the 2H. While many astrologers do not credit a yod unless the apex is a fast moving planet, I tend to disagree, especially when this sort of credible evidence shows up. Basically the two legs of the yod, being Mercury (communications) and the MC (legacy) work together pushing at the apex planet to do something. Pluto is many things, but here I'm going to highlight ultimate power and destruction. I think we’re all feeling the destruction.


Now let’s get in to some predictive astrology. Using ‘The Cosmic Key’ method we mentioned. We have two charts to examine before we can get to the specifics. The transit chart from the new moon for the month ahead, and the progress chart for the progress moon.



THE COSMIC KEY - TRANSIT SATURN & NEW MOON

ree


The chart above is the New Moon on July 5, 2024 at 5:57PM for Austin, Texas. I have removed all the other planets for the time being so we may quickly discuss ‘The Cosmic Key”. We are only looking for activations at this point. You can see that Transit Saturn is making two malefic aspects, one 180 degrees in opposition to natal Saturn, and the other being a 90 degree square to the natal Sun. Further malefic aspects from the transit Moon are the square to the natal Moon and the opposition to natal Pluto.



THE COSMIC KEY - PROGRESS MOON

ree


As you can see from this progress chart, showing the progress moon, it is directly on top of the natal Ascendant. And what is normally a minor aspect, a 144 degree Biquintile, the fact is it is aspected to the natal Jupiter/Uranus conjunction, I think we can upgrade it from a minor to a major aspect because we've just seen a large unexpected event.


LOOKING AT ALL THE ASPECTS

Since we have made over two malefic aspect indicators in the Cosmic Key, we can now confirm that some shit may go sideways. We just have to look at the complete transit chart of the new moon, and then we can track it further day to day during the entire month. Let’s now look at the entire New Moon transit composite chart with the natal chart.


THE COSMIC KEY FOR CROWDSTRIKE.COM - JULY 2024 NEW MOON CHART

At first glance I’d say, OMFG! - This can’t be good, that’s a LOT of red. Red are the malefics, and there are so many malefic aspects it’s hard to know where to start. However, since there is a lot of hype around the Uranus/Mars conjunction, let’s start there.


URANUS, MARS & THE URANUS/MARS CONJUNCTION

MARS

Mars is associated with assertiveness, drive, and ambition, but its potential for malefic manifestation can bring mighty challenges and history-altering difficulties and changes. In this way, Mars is most associated with injuries, attacks, aggression and destruction.


URANUS

Uranus, known for its association with sudden change, innovation, and rebellion, also has a malefic side. Uranus can bring about disruption, instability, and unexpected challenges. Jupiter, the planet of all things on large scale must be involved too, but we’ll get to that.


URANUS/MARS CONJUNCTION

A Uranus-Mars conjunction combines the energies of both planets, resulting in a potent mix of innovation, assertiveness, and unpredictability. Here are the highlights: Sudden Aggression and Conflict, Impulsiveness and Recklessness, Accidents and Injuries, Disruptive Changes, Rebellion and Defiance, Technological Failures and Mishaps, High Tension and Stress, Volatility in Relationships, Unpredictable Actions, Destructive Behavior. Being aware of these malefic aspects can help in managing the intense and unpredictable energy of a Uranus-Mars conjunction, allowing for more mindful and balanced actions. But I doubt anyone at Crowdstrike was looking at this.


HISTORY OF MARS/URANUS CONJUNCTIONS

Uranus/Mars conjunctions occur approximately every two years. Occasionally, due to a Mars retrograde during the alignment, the aspect can repeat three times over five to six months. This is a rare event, typically occurring only once or twice a century, and in some periods, several centuries can pass without such alignments. The last Mars-Uranus conjunction occurred between 11 and 15 degrees Virgo in 1964-65, coinciding with the beginning of direct US involvement in the Vietnam War. During this period, the conjunction squared Uranus and Mars in the US Declaration of Independence chart. Previous notable triple alignments of Mars and Uranus took place in 1206-07, when Genghis Khan began his sweep across Asia; in 1480, during the Spanish Inquisition; in 1612-13, marking the founding of Russia's Romanov Dynasty; and in 1672, the onset of the Age of Enlightenment in Europe and the Americas. The next such conjunction won't occur until 2041-42. So it’s safe to say that the attack on Donald Trump and this major technology glitch are par for the course of Mars being conjunct with Uranus.

The most obvious is the conjunction of transit Uranus/Mars over natal Mercury. But it's getting late so we’ll talk more about the aspects in our next post.

Although Uranus is well known for its sudden and abrupt changes, and Mars for its destructive power, the Mars/Uranus conjunction happening for most of July in 2024 could actually be a very fortunate event - if you are correctively prepared for it.


At the moment of exact conjunction when Mars catches up to Uranus at 26Tau19, a perfect Astrology Aspect Pattern called a ‘cradle’ will be in glorious geometric symmetry.


Before 1999, there was a distinct lack of information regarding aspect patterns in natal charts. Bruno Huber pioneered research into this subject matter, so today astrologers are now familiar with many patterns such as the Kite, the Yod (Projection) and the Grand Cross (Achievement Square); and lesser known ones such as the Trapeze, the Trampoline, the UFO, the Surfer and the Butterfly to name a few. Huber distinguish 46 different patterns in their book, ‘Aspect Pattern Astrology’.


According to Huber, there was a lack of critical understanding in how aspects worked together in patterns in an astrology charts. Many published works existed that spoke to aspects, but not aspect patterns. The research was then developed and published in German by Bruno, Louise and Michael Huber at the Astrological Psychology Institute (API) in Adliswil near Zurich. An English translation was later released in 2005 with black and white illustrations and the newest version in color was only recently made available in 2019.


Huber began studying astrology in the mid 1900’s. In 1968, with his wife, Louise Huber, he founded the Astrological Psychology Institute, which became an internationally renowned school of Astrology.


Over many years of astrological work, research, and client/patient consultations, the Hubers book on aspect patterns came from the need for ‘holistic guidelines for astrological psychological horoscope interpretation’. These patterns, according to his research, ‘are of overriding importance and serve as synthesizing generic terms for the interpretation of the individual planets contained in triangles, quadrilaterals or polygons’. Further, this ‘includes the knowledge of laws of geometric aspect patterns, whose detailed interpretation constitutes an important part of Aspect Pattern Astrology’. It is the Huber family’s hope that ‘Aspect Pattern Astrology will provide the key to holistic horoscope interpretation and to the understanding of people’s (charts) true essence’.


The astrological phenomenon of patterns is a next level proposal to truly get to the source of how and why chart aspects manifest. In that we can find solace in higher octave connections made through patterns and further understand the native energies at work in themself and also during activations by transit.

In the upcoming Mars/Uranus conjunction at 26Tau19, the great benefic ‘cradle’ pattern will be formed in the heavens. The cradle aspect pattern is the formation of one opposition, two trines and three sextiles. Because of its geometry, the cradle is highly energetically stable and benefic in nature. There is inner harmony between all the planets which allows the native to ‘adapt and deal with the demands of the environment’.


The cradle reminds us of birth and babies, so the cradle is a place of security. It is representative of a safe zone in the signs it encompasses. When we exit the cradle into the signs outside of its protection, Huber states ‘when something unpleasant approaches, the person can just switch over and is suddenly protected by an invisible wall from any attack’. The wall he is referencing is the opposition at the top of the cradle. Once back in the cradle, he/she/they ‘cut (themselves) off from it (the difficulty) completely and it then just ceases to exist and effectively disappears’.


Inside the cradle exists two Talent Triangles and two Easy Opposition (Ambivilence) Triangles. You can read more about the easy opposition triangle here:


The Talent Triangle being doubled can transform conflicts in highly effective ways because there is always a benefic escape route from any tensioned energy. When outside the cradle, one only need look to the security within the cradle to find solice, harmony and relaxation. Nonetheless, conflicts continue over and over and balance can continually be found without residual malefic energies following us back into the safe zone. The opposition provides a wall of protection that cannot be broken.


The aspects in the cradle formed during the Mars/Uranus conjunction are mostly all located in the ‘Impulse’ quadrant (first three signs from the Asc of the zodiac) and in the “I-Space’. The Impulse quadrant is related to ego, persistence, constitution, heredity and systems. The I-Space will pull us into introspective states where we will be very self-sufficient. This transit will be one of the hermit. Strangers and negative outside influences beyond self will automatically be shielded by the wall (the opposition). In this case the wall of protection is provided by the Sun and Pluto. This does not mean we will all be in a self-made prison of isolation, but instead we will only let those in that are good for us.


One of my favorite saying comes to mind, ‘They either feed your fire or piss on it’ - so be on the lookout for those energetic dicks and know you have safe haven from them.


When you look at your own chart, take note of the degrees and signs where this transit planets are that form the cradle and mark them on your own natal chart. This is your own private Idaho; the sanctuary of your ego, individualism, and intimate sphere. Then, observe where the opposition wall is for you. When you must go out and work with the signs and houses (areas of life) opposite your own version of the transit cradle, tread lightly - or better, postpone events that may activate points of contention. This is like a Mercury retrograde in a sense - all the signs and houses outside the cradle will be experiencing the turmoil that will send you reeling back to safety.


I think this Mars/Uranus conjunction may be one of the better transits we all get to experience, in consideration of understanding all the energies at play and how to use them to our advantage. If you need any help interpreting your own chart, get in touch with me and I’ll be happy to work with you.
