| Predictions For 2006 | | by Gail Carswell & Michael Foltz
Gails Predictions at SATORI on Janurary 6th, 2006
January 6th, 2006- 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.
December 21 2005 Winter Solstice predictions for the winter and 2006
In Mundane astrology, there are several techniques to predict events for
the coming year. One technique says that if the Winter Solstice chart has a
fixed sign on the ascendant then this chart will be in effect for the total
of the coming year. We will look at this chart for the winter and please
keep in mind that this year we do have a fixed sign (Taurus) on the
ascendant. This chart and the aspects will likely have a bearing on the
whole of 2006.
This chart has the element of Earth predominant. Things are likely going to
be slow moving and all of us would be advised to check our plans and
carefully place one foot in front of the other and not get in a hurry and
miss steps that are essential to the best outcome.
The mode of the chart is predominantly fixed. This can give great ability
to stay the course in the face of any odds we are facing. This same energy
can bring stubbornness.
Before we go further I want to bring our attention to a couple of aspects.
The first one is the Moon trine Jupiter. This is called a guardian angel
aspect. There is another planetary configuration that is called a mystic
rectangle. Here we have two sets of planetary energies that are in
opposition but brought together by sextiles and trines. This configuration
can be used to find solutions to concerns that occur during this time
period. I have seen many clients with guardian angel aspects who use this
aspect wisely. Remember even our guardian angels can get weary if we abuse
the gift they bring..
The Sun in this chart is in the eighth house and conjunct Pluto. The Sun in
Mundane astrology can indicate our president. Pluto can indicate
assassinations and/ or great catastrophes. The eighth house can indicate
death and/ or accidents. There are no other aspects in this chart to the
Sun. I have not compared this chart to President G.W. Bush to confirm if
there are further indicators of danger..
The conjunction of the Sun with Pluto could also indicate that President
G.W. Bush will continue to feel he is above the law and has total power to
make laws and/ or policy with his own mind and desires. There can be an
obsession with power. There could even be some thoughts of using nuclear
power..
The eighth house is the natural house of Scorpio and Pluto is the ruling
planet. Using the high side of this the president can get others to join in
and work for the good of the universe. On the negative side there can be
the desire to know what others are doing and "spying" can take over
rational thoughts..
I feel that everything is a mirror of each of us. The weather, our leaders,
there are signs about what is going on inside of us all around us. We each
would do well to have a look at how we are using our individual power. Are
we pushing to have our way and not taking the time to consider how what we
do in our lives will effect the universal good of all?.
This Sun conjunct Pluto can be a concern because the raw power of this
combination is frequently used with no thought to what is best for others.
However, the President and each of us have the choice to take this
planetary energy to a higher level. The best use of this energy is to
create committees and join with others to see projects moved forward to
assist all others we are sharing our time with here on Mother Earth..
The Sun and Pluto in the eighth house could be telling us that we will be
dealing with a continuation of storms. Some of these storms will come from
nature. Flooding, earthquakes, fire storms are all very likely..
Mercury in this chart is about as far away for the Sun as is possible. The
President as well as the rest of us could be making decisions again with
only the Sun and Pluto influence and not mentally take the time to think
through decisions. Many people could be making decisions based on
obsessive behavior. It will be important to consider your decisions and
choose the best time to have calm discussions with others..
Mercury is the focus point of a planetary configuration called a T-square.
The other two planets involved are Uranus and the Moon. Here again we are
seeing that everyone could be restless, stubborn, impulsive and even
fanatic. Slowing down mentally and taking time to feel our way through our
decisions while listening to our intuition will serve us best. If we choose
to make our decisions based only on our emotional needs of the moment we
will likely make some poor decisions..
Mercury is part of a Grand Trine configuration. This could lead many to
again think that they have the right to make decisions and not take the
time to feel our way through how these decisions will affect others..
There could be continuing concerns with our freedoms. Watch and take any
action you feel inclined to concerning the Patriot Act. Our reputation as a
Nation could be in question, especially how we treat women. There could be
more discussion about Roe v Wade. Much of this discussion will likely be
behind closed doors..
Covert listening and monitoring of our correspondence is continuing. This
will be on all levels. E-mail, phone, cell phone. The Law and Order of the
land is likely being discussed behind closed doors as well. If more
catastrophes occur the government is likely making plans to assist but also
on taking control of the areas. I personally hope they are making plans now
so the decisions can be discussed before hand. Decisions made on the fly
are again not going to be the best choice..
The Moon in this chart is in Virgo. This can indicate all of us wanting
what we want and wanting it just the way we want it. This can be a good
thing as long as we understand when it is time to compromise. The stock
market is likely going to be emotionally driven and experience wide
fluctuations during this period..
Our leadership could feel we do not need or even desire other countries
participation in World affairs. Some big social blunders are very likely.
This is for our nation as well as for each of us. Venus is un-aspected in
this chart so social graces could be lacking. I have not followed the
stories for how our leaders ultimately responded to other Nations offers
after recent disasters. This has been brought to your consciousness so ask
yourself how will you respond to offers of assistance. What shape are our
social graces in.
.
Venus turned retrograde on December 24 2005 and will go direct February 3
2006. This will not be in effect for the whole quarter but only for the
dates mentioned above. During this time period our personal relationships
are likely to go through some trials. There are likely more divorces being
filed. Some other possibilities are again our social skills are not at
their best. Blurting out something without thinking how our words might
affect others. Money is ruled by Venus so many of us are likely to feel
"poor" or that there is not enough. I do not mean to make light of the
poor. There are many people struggling with finances and this will likely
be a more difficult time..
Use caution on any purchases of art or jewelry, clothing or really
anything. There is a good likelihood you will not find them as beautiful or
useful as you had thought. The worst-case scenario could be that you have
been deceived and the art or jewelry is a fake. If you do buy antiques, art
or jewelry get certificates of authenticity and know the reputation of the
seller..
Friends or lovers from your past could contact you. This is a good time to
contact others from your past..
I feel that one of the best uses of this planetary energy is to take a long
look at how we feel about ourselves. Do we have our self worth connected in
an unhealthy way to the amount of money we earn or have in the bank. We
have recently seen how our material possessions can be gone quickly due to
flooding, hurricanes and fire storms. The chart for the time period until
the Spring Equinox indicates these types of events are likely.
Understanding our true value is inside our heart and is the most important
lesson. Loving ourselves and showing love to companions and environment is
the goal for this time period..
Our leaders as well as each of us are likely to feel more aggressive and
could be discontent. Mars is conjunct the ascendant. This can indicate a
sense of superiority and can go as far as aggressive superiority on the
negative side and can indicate enormous creative ability on the high side..
Mars is one of the planets in a configuration called a T-square. Mars is
opposite to Jupiter and the focal planet in this configuration is Saturn.
Understanding controlled expansion is important. These two planets can be
rash and make decisions that are made with passion and not well thought out
logic. Self control is not a strong point. Having Saturn as part of this
planetary configuration can be seen as a good thing. Saturn will encourage
our leaders and each of us to slow down and make appropriate plans before
we take action. If we choose to make rash choices Saturn is there to assist
us in learning some tough lessons..
Mars in Taurus can bring some frustration in not getting to move ahead as
fast as desired. The opposition to Jupiter will only add to the possibility
of frustration. There is a good likelihood of many people making poor
decisions and I feel that road rage will continue to be a major concern.
Knowing that there will be many people that are not conscious of the
planetary energies but are still expressing the energy could assist you in
avoiding combative experiences. Use caution on the roads..
This configuration indicates that there again could be difficulty in many
marriages and relationships. People can get into wanting what they want at
any and all costs. Greed and jealousy can be concerns and some could let
these emotions take over bringing explosive situations..
There is an indication that we can get some great intuitive insight into
the direction of our future goals. Working diligently to not buy into the
feelings of frustration and paying attention to not promising more than we
can deliver or over committing ourselves is important..
There are more indicators that the divorce rate will likely be higher than
other periods. Again, I want to reiterate that there is a guardian angel
aspect that could be helpful to anyone that wants to do the hard work that
relationships require..
There is indication that the leaders will really want to expand some war
efforts and deception could be used. This is an important time to join
together and visualize and pray for calm decisions and peaceful resolutions
to world events..
The Mystic rectangle is indicating that we do have access to resolutions
available to work through the difficulties. Keeping a calm head and slowing
down will allow the intuition to kick in and bring ideas forward to assist
working through some difficult times..
There are indications that our national reputation is not seen in a good light..
As I was looking at this part of the chart I thought about miners and the
indications of danger for this occupation. Jupiter in the 7th house
(business establishments) square Neptune (Miners) in the 10th house
(reputation of our nation) I took a break leaving my computer right after
this thought and that evening I turned on CNN to see that there was a
mining accident. With this chart I feel that this is a dangerous time
period for those in the mining field. Neptune also rules over gas, oil,
chemicals, the ocean, war ships, drugs to name a few. All those that are
working in any of these fields would be wise to use caution. Use caution
when you are filling up your car at the gasoline station and any other
circumstance you are using any of these substances..
After watching some further news on the mining company that are dealing
with the workers that are at risk right now, their safety record is poor.
The number of violations was increasing over the last two years. Again our
reputation as a nation will likely be seen as not caring about our workers
in these areas. The governing bodies over these industries would be well
advised to step up the on site checks and follow up on violations..
Watch for local gas drilling and be vigilant on contacting the local
officials and ask about the safety timing and let them know you have
concerns. I know people that work in this field and there are more risks
than most of us would want to imagine..
There is another T-square configuration that has Jupiter as the focal
planet. Saturn and Neptune are opposite and both of these planets are
square to Jupiter. This is a building aspect and those of us with charts
with Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius prominent, will feel this planetary energy
the most..
Watch for any planet moving through the missing fixed sign Taurus for this
T-square to become a grand fixed cross. While those of us with our natal
chart having more fixed energy are feeling this energy the most, all of us
are in the planetary energy mix. This aspect has been building for a while
and will continue to build well into 2006..
Our homes and the authority and control over our homes could feel nebulous
and uncertain. I feel that there will be many storms from many different
types of weather elements. Rain and flooding, mudslides, Earth quakes and
fire storms are all possible. (Check our specific Weather Prediction
article for Fort Worth) Again we are being shown that we can get into fear
and frustration that our control of our physical possessions is not what we
once thought and counted on always being there..
We are being encouraged to look at our philosophy in life. What has true
value and meaning. I feel there will be a good number of examples shown to
us of people reacting to the planetary energy poorly and using deception to
get what they want..
Looking at the weather more, there are indicators that we all would be well
advised to be prepared for emergencies. Be sensible and have plenty of
food, water, medical emergency supplies, solar ovens, hand crank radio etc..
Our agricultural concerns are likely going to have difficulty. There could
be difficulty with government subsidies or other regulations..
Our nation's goals as well as our private goals are undergoing some
adjustments. I feel that more and more people will understand the value of
having a good spiritual attitude and daily practice. There are many
indications of feeling restrictions in our life and having a good spiritual
attitude will help us overcome these feelings..
Spring Equinox March 20 2006
This chart is very different in that there is no planetary energy in the
element of Earth. There is more of the element of Fire than Water or
Earth. The element of Fire is very enthusiastic and spontaneous. This
energy can be used for good or can be used for selfish and overly forceful
demands.
The mode is more mutable and this can be very beneficial in moderating the
fiery nature of this chart. Mutable energy is more adaptable and
sympathetic. The low side of mutable energy can be used to be deceptive,
unpredictable and undependable.
We will look first at the placement of the Sun and the aspects. The Sun is
in the ninth house. The ninth house gives us indication about the judicial
system, religion, diplomats, the Supreme Court, our navy, foreign shipping,
interstate airplane traffic, progress and development. These areas of life
will be very important to our leaders and to each of us. Other areas are
publishing and advertising.
The Wright Amendment will be ruled on. I would think with the trine aspect
that this Amendment will be repealed and Love field will become busier. I
personally believe there are several smaller air fields that are
dangerously located.
There is an element of deceit with the Sun conjunct the North Node. Will
this be the president and our leaders deceiving the public? This could be
the president being deceived by others around him. We would be advised to
look at where we could be deceiving ourselves.
If you are advertising during this time period be sure to proof and have
someone else check your advertising for errors or omissions. It is
important to be very truthful in your wording. There are indicators that
there is deception in many areas of life and you will want to pick your
wording carefully. Mercury is retrograde and in Pisces. Both of these
facts are not the best for clear communication. If you are having a book
published, please check the work more than usual and after the printing
check for printing errors.
There will be plenty of hard work during this time period. There are
indicators that planetary support will assist us. Like any chart, there are
contradictions. There are indicators that many of us will be concerned with
health and financial issues. Likely there will be reports of many more
people living below the poverty level than had been reported in the past.
The general health of the nation could be a concern. The general conditions
of our nation will be of hard work, restriction and somber feeling. We will
be questioning authority and the use and misuse of authority. There are
aspects that offer support to work our way through these feelings.
It will be more important than ever to get out and get physical. There are
indicators that we could feel restriction of our physical movement and have
the "deer in the headlight" syndrome. One thought is Yoga. This is a
wonderful modality to move your body and bring more peace to your mind.
Having a friend or a group that you exercise with will bring further
meaning to your session.
The Sun, Moon and Ascendant are in good aspect to one another. This aspect
is called a Grand Trine. This will bring some ease to the hard work and
somber feelings. This same energy can make us feel that it will all be
taken care of by others or the Universe and we can get lazy on making the
most of the energy available by taking personal action.
The emotions of the country are going to be running high and there will be
a lot of passion. Our children's health, education and welfare will be the
focus of many discussions. The population will be asking our leaders some
hard questions about our country's continuing foreign investment and how
this is affecting our investment in our own country.
Motion pictures and theaters will take on a more spiritual and
inspirational leaning. We already know that Da Vinci Code and Celestine
Prophesy are being made and many more movies will be highlighting spiritual
and metaphysical subjects.
The stock market will again be running on emotions with very wide swings.
There are indicators that more high profile companies questionable
accounting practices will be revealed. Pension funds look like they will
continue to be a concern. Many people could find that they have worked for
most of their life believing that they would be entitled to a guaranteed
pension check of a certain amount of money and find that the amount will be
much less or that the pension fund is non-existent. What we once thought
was our foundation in life will have to be reevaluated. Our enthusiasm,
exuberance and joviality are likely subdued. This is a time again to find
our own internal balance and not look to the outside world to understand
our true value.
There are concerns about our thoughts not being clear and we could question
our beliefs. There is the possibility for more leaks and scandal
surrounding the White House and other political figures.
We have talked about Uranus in the Sign of Pisces here at Satori and at
Owl's Clover. You can read this information on our web site. A short note
here is that more and more people will be experiencing "knowing" or
"seeing" through the veil and having spiritual awakenings.
Looking at this chart for March 20th through June 21st, pay close attention
to your intuition. Plan more time for meditation to allow messages, visions
and deeper spiritual understanding to come to you.
The beliefs of the whole country can be shifting. It seems that tough times
are the normal way of getting us humans to make shifts. This chart shows
the possibility of more concerns with water--flooding, high tides, mud
slides, earthquakes, storms of many different types. There will be a
further Weather Forecast available on our web site for the Fort Worth area.
Besides the weather there will likely be more deaths from accidents,
suicides and there is a good possibility of some type of epidemic.
Emphysema could be dramatically on the increase.
There could be a breakthrough in the area of understanding electromagnetism
and the use of magnets. Uses of nitrogen can make advancements. Science in
general can make some great strides forward. Some old beliefs in the
scientific field can be shattered.
There are indicators that our international affairs could be confusing and
again deceit could be occurring. There are signs of great risk at
misunderstandings. If we can use the energy available on the highest level
we can bring a spiritual aspect into all of our partnerships.
More money will be spent on the war effort. It could be very difficult to
track how and where the money is being spent.
Spiritual tours and vacations could do well. Healing on a deep level from
these experiences is possible.
Anyone offering professional services and bringing their spiritual
enlightenment as part of their service, will be on the leading edge.
We will all feel we want to move forward with our goals. It will be
important to get out of the talking stage and getting the plan written down
on paper so we do not miss steps in the planning and organizing of these
goals. Attaining our goals could cost more than we had thought and could
require more of our time away from home life. Additional time will also be
needed for any goals.
It is very important that you exercise self control. The aspects here are
going to have most all of us wanting to break free and move forward without
hesitation. This could be a costly choice.
I believe that the latest mining tragedy could bring many mine closings due
to safety. The housing market will likely be softer than the recent past.
There is a Lunar Eclipse on the 14th of March at 24 degrees Virgo 15
minutes and a Solar Eclipse on the 29th at 8 degrees of Aries 35 minutes.
We will offer a class at Owl's Clover to assist understanding these eclipse
energies for the world, our country and you individually.
Summer Solstice June 21 2006
The chart for this period is again mostly Fire. Rash, quick decisions are
likely. There is a great opportunity for all of us to give very little
thought to our actions and the motto, "just do anything even if it is
wrong" could rule. We will have to be very conscious to bring logic,
objectivity and be unprejudiced in our life. The abundance of the element
of Fire can have us being overly forceful and bossy.
The mode in this chart is fixed energy. Fixed energy is determined,
stable, good ability to focus and concentrate. The negative side of this
fixed energy is stubbornness and egotistical.
The Sun is in the 11th house. This house in a mundane chart tells us about
the nation's income, national treasury, future plans, international friends
and countries. This house also can tell us information about Congress, the
House of Representatives and the will of the people. The only aspect to the
sun is an opposition. This aspect brings an awareness and can be a tension
of opposites. The key is to find a compromise between the two energies. Be
gentle in all of your social dealings.
This can be a strike first and make sure you win. This is another
indication that all of us must use logic and compassion in our
lives. Pluto is not exactly known for compassion or anything low key.
Pluto is more about destruction and then rebuilding, making it better.
There will likely be attempts to further restrict abortion rights. There
will likely be more revelations about members of Congress and the House of
Representatives taking illegal money and gifts. Money that is owed to the
USA by foreign countries could be defaulted on or we will have to
renegotiate the repayment.
The communal harmony could be a concern. Perhaps this is about continued
discussion on getting the different states reimbursed for the expenses due
to the evacuees from Katrina.
There could be a real concern about the debt that is on credit cards and
the announcement that the government is mandating that the minimum payment
be raised. There could be many people that just will not be able to meet
this new amount due monthly.
This time period could see air disasters and concerns with transportation.
There could be an air disaster with the plane going down over water. The
aspects could also be showing something about air travel and water in
general. This same planetary energy could play out in concerns with
computers. Perhaps a virus or worm that could take out large numbers of
computers.
The president and many in the country could be feeling at a loss in their
emotions. There could be a feeling that there is a lack of emotional
support. The president's popularity rating continues to be on the low side
and he could feel many of his friends have deserted him.
Many of us could have similar feelings. Solitude and perhaps meditation,
journaling and talking to a trusted friend could help. There will likely be
a record number of people seeking help for depression and antidepressant
drugs could be the short term answer. Homeopathy can offer a gentler
option. Please have an astrological consultation and see how these aspects
are contacting your chart.
Finding ways to communicate with our closest friends and family will assist
in better emotional stability in this quarter of the year. Looking at this
chart, this could be the last thing we will want to do.
President George W. Bush could have concerns with accidents or there is the
possibility of violence. We would have to do a chart comparison to see how
these planetary energies are contacting his birth chart. He and many of us
will be feeling like we are driving with the brakes on.
The position of Mars in the first house and in the sign of Leo is very good
but there are many aspects that can indicate frustration, violent feelings
and that others are keeping us from moving forward. Sudden unexpected
events can make a change of direction necessary.
The country could be faced with mines being closed and some type of
limitation in our natural resources. Farms are facing some difficulty. Our
freedoms are likely being challenged and communal harmony is being tested.
We could see some educational institutions close. Housing is feeling
sluggish and the evacuees from New Orleans and other disasters could be
doing well if they even have a tent.
The fourth house can indicate natural calamities. Jupiter is retrograde and
with the aspects to this planet I feel that there is a good likelihood of
more natural calamities from June 21 through Sept 23 2006. There will be a
separate article dealing with the weather for the Fort Worth area on our
web site.
This house can also give us indicators of the political and general
stability of the nation. There will continue to be turmoil and hard work
for most every one and especially for the Democratic Party.
This chart has 80% more squares than typical. Squares can be stumbling
blocks and we can choose to feel like we are boxed in. We can equally
choose to use this energy as building blocks. As with any building this
will take our intention of staing optimistic and lots of hard work.
Using Astrodynes, Saturn had the most Power and the most Discord in this
chart. Saturn planetary energy demands we have a plan, follow the rules and
do the hard work. Rewards from Saturn will always come but they are slow
in coming and are in direct relation to the amount of work we do. Venus has
the most Harmony, but there is very little harmony in this chart. Venus is
about your social life. Be sure that your plans have some social time included.
The first house has the most Power. We are advised to take personal
responsibility and develop our own plans. Making our health régime a
priority is a must. Health is on many levels, be sure to include all of
them. The most Discord is also the first house so we can be our own worst
enemies. The 11th house has the most Harmony. Our long term goals are
important to understand. Spending time socially with friends that truly
support us is one way to bring more harmony into our life.
The sign Leo has the most Power and the most Discord. Find ways to be
creative, have fun, and watch out for needing to be "center stage". This is
the balance we are working toward. Pisces is the sign with the most
Harmony. Our spiritual life and assisting others in the world will help
bring more harmony into our own life.
