Mercury
is the breath of the human being,
Uranus is the breath of the sky.
But
when Pluto is stationary, and thus the strongest force, and when
it combines with Uranus, it is not just the breath of the sky as
in wind, but entire storms can happen, true to its reputation of
total destruction, after which a totally new beginning will
emerge, even if we and certainly the people in New Orleans can't
see it yet.
Apparently
New Orleans has a chart, and Pluto is situated at 8 degrees of
Pisces in that chart, (info from Bil Tierney in the next ISAR
emailletter, from "horoscopes of the USA" by
Carolyn Dodgson), precisely the spot where Uranus was transiting.
I never work with asteroids but the strange phenomena of naming
all these hurricanes with names of people made me search for an
asteroid with a name like that. And an asteroid with the name of
Katrinaminck was indeed taken along, as it also was at 8 degrees of Pisces:

In
the chart of the USA we see Pluto transit
in opposition to Mars natally square Neptune. (Military force
trying to do something about the floods) .
And
all this happened prior to Pluto's turning around and prior to
the New Moon opposite Uranus. Let's hope that things will change
for the better this weekend.
At
the ISAR conference Astrid Fallon spoke of the Grand Neptune/Pluto/Jupiter
parallel coming up next year (i.e. Neptune and Pluto being at
the same declination). Neptune is water, and Pluto is enormous....
Neptune is chaos and Pluto is enormous... but she did also
mention how virusses may come out of nowhere, and the danger of
cholera and typhus in New Orleans is one of the things which
made me think of her observation immediately.
There
is another side to Neptune/Pluto, and that is an inner side: a
true resolve to REALLY go for an inner connection, for a
spiritual life, for a more elevated life, and go deep in
meditation. What is the purpose of life after all? Nature shows
us the impermanency of things continuously, if not in this
country, than in that country...
Well
as far as next week goes: Pluto will be Direct... and Saturn is
transiting the North Node in the chart of the USA in the 8th
house.. (Thursday September 8) Venus will then have
entered Scorpio, never a good sign for the financial markets,
and will move towards a square with Saturn by the end of the
week ahead.
As
far as my coffeetable astrology tale of last week goes: Charles
J. Sven sent me an email that the idea of looking at the
planets after the MOON can be found in "All Over the Earth
Astrologically" by Ivy M. Goldstein-Jacobson (1963), pages
90-93, chapter entitled "The Moon's first Conjunction".
(Thanks for this info!)
