Gails Predictions at SATORI on Janurary 3rd 2003
January 3 2003- Notes from Lecture given at The
Satori meeting in Fort Worth, Texas by Gail Carswell
Mundane Astrology is different than Natal Astrology. Most of my astrological study, knowledge and talent has been focused on assisting myself and others with understanding our inner workings and what current transits are asking of each of us to grow using our birth chart or road map we chose for this time around on Mother Earth. I started my quest in this field with my 7th grade Science Fair project at Castleberry here in Fort Worth. The year was 1965.
I love working with Medical/Health astrology, looking to see what vitamins, supplements we might require and how we tend to deal with our emotions. Career/Vocational astrology and Locational What we experience in different locations. Prenatal Eclipse What we come to teach and what we come to learn, and there are several other areas, even Black Holes, Quasars, Pulsars and let's don't forget Asteroids.
Now I have shared with you some of the ways Astrology can be consulted to help us have a better understanding in many different areas of our lifeLet's get on with Mundane Astrology. This branch of Astrology looks at world events. Mundane come from the Latin word mundus, which translates, to world. Just like personal astrology there are many areas to consider. In Mundane Astrology we could look at Financial, Business, HealthPlagues, bio-terrorism, WeatherEarthquakes, floods, Agriculture, Political and what the group thinking will be focused on.
Two of the oldest methods used when looking at Mundane Astrology are the Cardinal Ingress Charts and Eclipse Charts. The Cardinal Ingress Charts are when the Sun enters the Cardinal signs Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn.
- December 21 2002 Winter Solstice/ Capricorn Ingress chart
We will look at the Capricorn Ingress chart first. This chart is for December 21 2002 and will be in effect until the spring equinox, March 20th 2003.
Some Astrologers look at the rising sign and with it being Fixed this chart is in effect for the whole year. Most of the planetary energy is of a Fixed nature. The mass consciousness is not in a free flowing frame of mind. It could be difficult to think out side the box.
We have Jupiter retrograde. Jupiter energy brings us optimism, with the apparent backward movement this energy feeling backwards we aren't feeling very optimistic. This is the general outlook of the people of our country as well as the whole world. Jupiter in aspect with Mercury, we are seeing and feeling communications full of stress. Labor strikes, health concerns and our nations security just feels shaky and will continue with this feeling.
Saturn the planet that helps us with feelings of structure but also feelings of restriction is also retrograde. We feel that our income and future plans are not going in a forward motion. Saturn is in hard aspect to the Sun. This will continue to bring the Stock Market and other speculative ventures feeling a lock step movement at best.
Uranus is the planet of the sudden insight and sometimes pulls the rug out from under our feet in the house of War and Open Enemies. There will be continued sudden and unexpected events in our foreign affairs.
- January 3rd Mercury goes retrograde at 28 Capricorn (direct on January 23rd).
There could be misunderstandings and miscommunications particularly at the work place. Any mechanical equipment could cause concern. Governments and employers will be going back over old ground looking at how to cut cost and be more effective. Use caution when signing contracts especially any concerning land or real estate. This is a good time to re-organize. Orderliness in your life will be a focus. Skin, teeth, or bone health issues may come up. If depression is a concern this is a good time to consider alternative options to assist with this. Your natal astrology chart will show if this is a life long concern and when the transiting planetary energy will bring up concerns. There will likely be more talk about polio.
- February 22nd Saturn goes direct at 22 Gemini.
Promotions that have been delayed will come through now. If you have felt thwarted on any forward movement this will ease. Gemini's, Capricorns and Aquarius will especially be feeling this. Watch for erratic drivers that have felt like their personal lives had the breaks on and now want to experience forward movement behind the wheel.
- March 10th Uranus goes into Pisces. This will be a major shift for all of humanity. The keyword for Uranus in Pisces is visionary.
Uranus was discovered in 1781 during the period of the French and American Revolution. This was also the time of the Industrial Revolution. This would indicate that Uranus is connected with modern technology as well as political unrest. Our group consciousness will be shifting. This will not happen all at once. Uranus has been in Aquarius since 1995. The Internet really took off during this time period. This was the Information Age. Uranus was last in Pisces from 1919 to 1928. Looking at the events during this time period will give us ideas about this coming time period, 2003-2011.
Uranus will go into Pisces on March 10th and only go to 2 degrees of Pisces and the planet goes retrograde on June 7th the retrograde motion will take the planet back to the sign of Aquarius until December the 31st. Uranus will be in late degrees of Aquarius or early degrees of Pisces until the Spring of 2004. Where Aquarius has objectivity, Pisces will have our feelings running strong. The victim/victimizer theme will come into play. Utopian hopes that are founded on illusory ideals will prevail.
Some events from the previous Uranus in Pisces are:
The 18th Amendment banning alcohol in the United States was passed. The effect of this was the "Mob" and gangsters that "took over" and the formation of the "Untouchables".
The American Communist Part was formed in 1919. This went on to see this country running on it's feeling of the fear of the "Red Menace". Thousands of people were arrested without any real cause.
In 1920 the 19th Amendment was passed giving women the right to vote.
There was a prevalence of fear of "something out there".
These themes will likely play out in new ways. We will see large numbers of people arrested for questioning about terrorism.
I feel that more people will become more psychically and intuitively aware. The intuitive intellect will awaken. People will be consulting psychics more. Intuition will be honored more. People can become aware of past lives. People that do not have a community that supports these new "flashes of insight" will likely be the ones most fearful. Neptune in Aquarius, 1999 through 2012 will accent this. More women will be in Power. This could be in politics as well as all other areas. There will be more and bigger Earthquakes. Designer drugs will increase as well as discoveries of new drug therapy for diseases. Many people will search for escapes through drugs, alcohol while many others will take a higher spiritual route. Water uses and abuses will become an even bigger issue. New species will be discovered in our bodies of water. Our shipping harbors will need better security.
- March 20th Spring Equinox/ Aries Ingress chart.
Our thinking will be shifting and we will want to get on with things. Our nations emotions will be more accessible and healing our collective wounds will be a big focus. More insider trading will be brought to light. The stock market will be very volatile. There will be more concerns around insurance. Our courts and government will need to address the problems concerning insurance of all types. Churches will be facing a restructuring and feel their attendance smaller while people look for their true spiritual path. Intuition will soar and will likely scare some that are programmed that this is unnatural. Those working in the psych field will be busy. The emotional stability of the US is a concern. Some will turn to Medical doctor for drugs others will go to street drugs. Watch for new designer drugs to surface. The veils will be thinner and past life memories will come for many. Focus on your Spiritual path.
- March 23rd Pluto goes retrograde at 19 Sagittarius. (Direct on August 28th)
Pluto is relentless and often ruthless. Pluto's only aim is to transform that which needs to be transformed. We have watched Pluto go through and show up some areas that our government needs to transform and also the organized religions as two examples. This retrograde period will continue with these themes. In our personal lives we will want to look at the house that Pluto is transiting and the aspects it is making for insight on what the transiting planetary energy is assisting us in transforming. The TRUTH is out there and Pluto in Sagittarius will help get the Truth known.
- April 4th Jupiter goes direct at 8 Leo.
Jupiter went retrograde on December 4th. This in combination with other things produced a slow retail holiday season and fewer holiday parties. Jupiter is the most benefic of all the planets. This is our guardian angel. With Jupiter going direct along with other aspects we will see the beginning of an attitude shift in our feelings about our financial situation. The Stock Market could have an up swing, however it will be short lived.
- April 26th Mercury goes retrograde at 19 Taurus (direct on May 20th)
This Mercury retrograde could find snafus with ATM machines or other banking. Check all financial statements carefully for errors. Use caution buying artwork, carpet, and coins. If you are expecting a raise it will not likely happen during this time. Loan applications will likely be lost or rejected. Do your background work and send in applications after the 20th. Throat ailment, thyroid concerns, eustachian tubes, or esophagus could be an area of concern.
- May 15th Neptune goes retrograde in Aquarius (direct on October 22nd)
Neptune rules over oil as well as many other things. This time period could see more concerns about oil. Watch out for lies, deceit and fraud. We could put on "rose colored glasses" and find ourselves swindled. This is a good time to schedule some time to watch your favorite old movie or read your favorite old book. Plan time to finish up creative projects. Spend some time in introspection and if there are any psychological beliefs that you want to get rid of this is a great time to identify them.
- May 15th Lunar Eclipse at 24 degrees Scorpio ***Please see separate Eclipse article coming later.
- May 20th Mercury goes direct at 11 Taurus.
Things will move forward.
- May 31st Solar Eclipse at 9 Gemini ***Please see separate Eclipse article coming later.
- June 4th Saturn goes into the sign of Cancer.
Saturn will be in Cancer until July 17th 2005. This will be a heavy time for President Bush. He will be forced to answers some questions about his actions over the last 7 years. Saturn is the taskmaster. President Bush will be reaping what he has sown. The rest of us will be looking at our homes and our own inner workings more seriously. Watch for feelings of isolation or seeing obstacles as permanent. Learn how to face any painful emotions. All of us will feel the need for support, but it could be hard to come. Now that you are aware of the coldness that this planetary energy could bring you can find ways to antidote the coldness. The emotional reserve will be useful to handle difficulties with fewer emotions.
- June 7th Uranus goes retrograde at 2 Pisces (direct on November 8th)
This is what we talked about March 10. This shift will take some years but there is a BIG shift in the making.
- June 21 Summer Solstice/ Cancer Ingress chart
There will be concerns over grounding. A daily meditation on grounding would serve us well. This will be a very serious time period. We have the Sun conjunct Saturn with a hard aspect to the Moon. Health will be a major concern many could be struggling with depression. There could be many sudden and unexpected acts of aggression. Children could be a target. Communal harmony will require work. Riots and concerns around labor relations are two examples of possibilities. This chart shows water as an area that should be watched carefully. This could be floods or other natural calamities. The water concerns in California, Nevada, and Colorado over water usage will likely be to a breaking point. The government will struggle with communicating with the public.
- July 29th Mars goes retrograde at 10 Pisces (direct on September 27th)
Mars goes retrograde approximately every two years for 80 days. Watch out for accidents, breaking things, feeling restless, fatigue, concerns with inflammations, burns, and cuts among other manifestations. Our energy level could be low. Look at how you are using your Mars (aggressive-assertive energy) and find a healthy balance. Our government could use this time period to step up covert activity. Do not have elective surgery during this time period. Mars rules surgery and surgeons.
During this time period Saturn will be closest to the Earth in many years. Last time this occurred was 1974. We were dealing with Watergate and Nixon resigning. Before that was in 1944. We were in World War 2 and within 8 months President Franklen D Roosevelt died.
Mars will also be closer to the Earth and some could mistake it for a UFO.
- August 28th Pluto goes direct at 17 Sagittarius.
Pluto the great transformer will bring more truths out of the closet for us to deal with in our personal lives and watch for more news stories about our "leaders" concerning their morals and integrity.
- August 28th Mercury goes retrograde at 26 Virgo (direct September 20th)
This will be a time of miscommunication and lost medical tests. This time period would be best used to look at our diet and life style to promote and protect our health. Watch for food poisoning. Our daily routine will likely not go smooth. Relax and allow time for delays. Military communications will be spotlighted and any flaws will be shown. Clothing bought during this time will not serve you well. Check any prescriptions for errors. Concerns about the nations health will be in the news even more than we are seeing now.
- September 20th Mercury goes direct at 12 Virgo.
Keep up the focus on a healthy lifestyle.
- September 23rd. Fall Equinox/ Libra Ingress Chart
Uranus and Mars are still traveling together and this could continue with sudden aggressive events during the next three-month period. This could also indicate more intuitive flashes. Police will have a busy time period. Anyone working in law enforcement fields should use extra caution. Many will feel a great amount of courage and will possibly do some foolish things. Falling passionately in love or expressing your love in a passionate way could be a good use of this energy. Our daily routines will not go as usual. Have all files on your computer backed up. There could be disruptions in our transportation and with communications.
- September 27 Mars goes direct at 0 Pisces.
Military action will likely move forward and increase. The public will likely be kept uninformed. The Navy will be particularly active. People will pull together for their spiritual searching.
- October 22nd Neptune goes direct at 10 Aquarius.
- October 26th Saturn goes retrograde at 13 Cancer (for remainder of 2003)
This will have a close contact with President Bushes natal chart and with the chart of the country. We could feel locked down in many ways with not many choices.
- November 8th Lunar Eclipse at 16 degree Taurus. ***Please see separate Eclipse article coming later.
- November 23rd Solar Eclipse at 1 degree Sagittarius. ***Please see separate Eclipse article coming later.
- December 18th Mercury retrograde at 12 Capricorn (goes direct Jan 4 2004).
There could be misunderstandings and miscommunications particularly at the work place. Any mechanical equipment could cause concern. Governments, employers will be going back over old ground. Use caution when signing contracts especially any concerning land or real estate. This is a good time to re-organize. Orderliness in your life will be a focus. Skin, teeth, or bone heath issues may come up. If depression is a concern this is a good time to consider healthy options to assist. Your natal astrology chart will show if this is a life long concern and when the planetary energy will bring up concerns. There will likely be more talk about polio. This will be THE Christmas of returned merchandise.
- December 30th Uranus enters Pisces. See comments under March 10th.
