The Grand Water Trine of May 2006 - Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces Sectors Flow On, Move On, Feel More Better Deeper

by Robert Wilkinson

We have an important rarity happening the next two weeks, and that's the Grand Water Trine between Mars in mid-Cancer, Jupiter in mid-Scopio, and Uranus in mid-Pisces. This will harmonize areas in our charts ruled by these planets, as well as sectors where these planets are transitting. The blessing here is that it's been going on once a month when the Moon was in Cancer, and will continue long after Mars leaves Cancer. It will reach its zone of maximum focus on May 2, when Moon in Cancer conjuncts Mars and trines the other two, and last for quite a while after that.

Jupiter trines Uranus May 4, and Mars trines Jupiter and Uranus on May 7. This is a very favorable time to get very clear about what you're feeling and why, or what you need to be feeling and why. It's definitely good for cultivating emotional intelligence, as will every point when the Moon is in Cancer for many months to come. For example, the Grand Water Trine is activated again on May 29, when the Moon moves through Cancer for the second time in the month.

So our Aries and Scorpio sectors are in harmony with our Sagittarius and Pisces sectors, and all of the above are in harmony with the individualizer Uranus, the spiritual ruler of Capricorn and Aquarius. This links 6 areas of our charts in a grand harmony, and if we include Cancer, we have more than half of our charts showing us how to flow into a greater emotional understanding and effectiveness.

Do not ignore your feelings and what understanding you're getting, even now. It's all at work even as you read this, and during this time when the aspects are forming, we can "catch a wave," as the surfers say, and ride this one into a deeper and vaster emotional perspective and contentment. It should be assisting all with planets in the Water signs of Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces, as well as the houses ruled by any planets you may have in these signs.

As I've hinted at in the past few days, the Sun in Taurus is helping ground these energies in concrete and simple ways, and giving us a chance to see our place of greatest growth and service from a vaster perspective. Mercury will follow the Sun's path during the second week of May, and even the squares to Neptune will help the oppositional awareness of the Taurus-Scorpio opposition to release through the heart love sign of Leo, so be the best Leo you can be as you flow around, over, and through obstacles.

One final hint: Water changes state. It can be solid, liquid, or gaseous, depending on the circumstances. It never loses its nature, and always seeks its own level. It simply fills up low spots, moves from higher to lower areas, and in its liquid state, simply flows on, never shrinking from any plunge or precipice.

During the next couple of weeks, use water as the metaphor for how to greet or go through what's happening. It can actually be fun surfing a big wave once you get over your apprehensions, and when you're done, you know you're alive!

this is a very powerful pattern! it's made into a tightly bound kite on the 4th of may, when the sun opposes jupiter. 14:35GMT. juno plays a part, too.

reviewing transits between various national charts and this pattern, israel is most striking. the sun/jupiter opposition falls right along israel's nodal axis, so the whole kite aspects israel's nodes. it also forms strong aspects to the nodal axis of the jan.1.1801 UK chart.

Hi Ayanamsha- Great observations. Mundane astrology is an important branch of the art/science, though fairly neglected by most astrologers. I don't post nearly enough on it, due to so many other topics to cover. The Sun and Mercury on Israel's North Node during the next week should be good for the nation, though it is going through its Saturn return, not usually an easy time, even though important.

It is interesting to examine the events of the past 9 months with an eye to Saturn being on Israel's Moon-Pluto conjunction. Later in the year Saturn will conjunct Israel's Mars and square its Sun, also not an easy time. Then it will retrograde back toward its Saturn, remaining there through early 2007. It's definitely a wakeup call for Israel.

[ayanamsha]

excellent observations, also! :D

the whole situation with Israel's gov't and Sharon reckons back to the early jan 2006 grand cross - using midpoint timing, the cross was activated on jan 4, the same day of Sharon's unfortunate demise.

i agree this opposition across the nodes could be very good; with the sun and jupiter involved, it may help breath life (sun) into thier leadership (jupiter). one can only hope this will contribute to a more peaceful situation in that part of the world, for the lack of peace in that area is damaging to the entire world.

mundane astrology is a huge topic to cover; and your work on personal spiritual astrology is more important to the human condition. the insights you provide are nothing less than life altering for many people. much resepect!

Hi Ayanamsha - Of course, the Grand Fixed Cross of last Autumn was very destructive of some things, while "fixing" of other things, in the lives of both people and nations. The Fixed signs show us the challenges of right relationship to forms of matter and energy.

The lack of peace and creative imagination plagues the entire world. You would think we adults could do better collectively.

I do believe that the Source is beneficient, so always works on behalf of progress, evolution, and the bringing forth of new forms while destroying old forms and preserving the best of what has ever been. Our leaders certainly do need a breath of "fresh prana" but the system itself globally is very stubborn, exploitive, and polluting. And this too will pass, and what will be built in the future will work much more in harmony with itself and all that IS than the present retrograde system.

Hi, Robert !
I enjoyed your candor in your take on Bush's astral as well as earthly character ! I think you recall I mentioned once I respect your opinions, I consider you tops. I always thought that behind every successful man, there must be a terrifically-witted woman. What's your take on his Scorpionic wife, and his intimate family life ?(is he able to preside over it ?). I think they are all deeply stupid there, old or young, so we all see the results. However I still believe the wife matters most. Always did. In every culture, in every century.

Bush has surrounded himself with strong women his whole life, and takes his cues from them. His mom, Barbara, has shown herself to wear iron underwear, if her insensitive response to the Katrina refugees is any indicator. Bush nominating Harriet Myers for the Supremes is another example of his weird dependency on women of his inner circle, regardless of how unsuited for duty they are. Then there's Condi Rice, Karen Hughes and others, all strong, regardless of how misguided I believe they are.

Many times Sun in Cancer men do look to women for light, vitality, and encouragement, and in Bush's case, with Moon conjunct Jupiter in Libra, it's almost as though he needs women for balance, perspective, and stability, since he has so little within himself. It is as though he believes women will lead him to the beautiful "promised land" of his inner vision, so he does not have to face the ugly reality he has created for himself and our entire world through his warmongering and inhumane policies.

the jupiter/moon conjuction is amplified by both juno and chiron. add in these two, and you have a quadruple conjunction within 3 degrees. remember that juno (mythological hera) was jupiter's (mythological zeus) wife. she represents the strong commited wife, always putting up with jupiter's infidelity yet always maintain her own fidelity, and never abandoning her husband. very much in the way that these ladies put up with the prostitution of his offical capacity!

with chiron present, this conjunction represents an area of a deep wounds for him, and his promotion of women probably seems healing to him. he really feels he has a duty to uphold women, and to put them in powerful places. and so the show goes!

Hi ayanamsha - Thank you for explaining to the readers some of how the lesser-known influences are impacting Bush. He does seem to surround himself with strong women who sympathize and protect him (Moon conj Jupiter) from seeing that in fact, "the emperor has no clothes." He was deeply wounded when young, as he had to stuff his grief at losing his sister to leukemia at age 7. This may be the primary influence of Chiron in the 3rd house of siblings, and a factor in his lack of mental equipoise.

Any time grief is not honored, it turns toxic and even cruel at times. He has certainly shown himself to be indifferent to massive human suffering, and the instigator of hell on Earth for millions of people screwed by his policies.

[ayanamsha]

I wasnt aware of his sister! Thanks for mentioning that, I was trying to understand the 3rd house wound better. It makes _alot_ more sense now.

In the In-prompt-to National address that immediately followed 9/11; 'W' was reported to have filled the Oval with a palpable giddy mood. Another occasion- where-in a prominent former Journalist was confronted by 'W' in a restaurant- Bush recalled an article that the reporter had written about his 'Dad.' Non-specific; 'W' publicly exclaimed in vindictive tones and used profanity with the reporter. He Both humiliated and embarrassed the man in company of a colleague. Bush appears to have a temper and, he seams devoid of any inter-personal tact. What do the aspects prevail?
Sincerely,
Don.

[Robert]

With all the third house activity, I suspect he is far more influenced by the people around him than anyone imagines, and no doubt he tries to please them with his superficiality while being his thoughtless wishful thinking self.

His Libra afflicts his Cancer, and with Mercury/Pluto conjunct his Asc, he is prone to extreme thinking and points of view. I'm sure he's gripped by forces he's indulged his entire life that lead him down delusional paths and behaviors, such as believing he's above the Constitution, and may interpret it as he pleases. He is publicly humiliating of others, and as nasty as he wants to be. That's why he deserved the face to face drubbing Colbert gave him the other night at the Press dinner. I hear he didn't leave with his trademark smirk. And with Saturn on his Leo, he's not a very happy camper, since he's not disciplined enough to take advantage of that transit. I'll comment on that in the near future.

An hour after I posted the previous I came back to the monitor and realized that I could find your insights through "Bush's astral as well as earthly character." Is that a past article in the archives or a different thread?
I regret that I've used up my (self enforced) post limit for this week, lol. However I have it in my head the Grand Trine article speaks so specifically to my own life currently. With family, academics, house placements of everyone that I know... it is uncanny. "Water changes it's state" Most literally and as recent as two days ago a family member of mine had a pace-maker put in, in consequence of congestive heart failure. While the electricity of the heart is functioning properly- fluid from the adrenal duct has been continuously filling the lung. They placed a shunt, to keep the fluid draining out of, rather than down and into, the lung. It is analagous to draining a water-filled bath tub, while the shower house indeterminately sprays. Have I, in this instance, taken the context of the article too specifically? One last thing- A Prairie Falcon (Native to the southwest) flew into the East yesterday and landed on a tree limb directly in front of me- about ten feet away! At that moment I considered coincidence, cause-effect deducement, Universal paradox, and I became aware that the Universe does not pander to me. My own ego needs the proper Astrological assignment. I post all of this in a real effort to ask for better Astrological context and understanding. I've been cognizant of 'catching the wave.'
As usual I'd tremedously apprecitate your advice,
Sincerely,
Don.

[Robert]

Hi Don - I have posted other articles on our preznit. You can find them through the links in the article. Self-imposed limits are always good for awhile, as it stills the chatter, and cleans up the signal-to-noise ratio. The Grand Trine may be showing up in exact, real world situations. Just because astrology is symbolic doesn't mean it doesn't work out in some very material ways!

Yes, the Universe doesn't pander to any of us. It has its own methods and formula for manifestation apart from what we think. You're probably expanding about as quickly as could be expected and safe, so go with the flow, a la the Grand Trine. You may be connecting things you've never imagined, in ways that will establish your basis of exploration for the next 12 years, since Jupiter is in Scorpio, after all.

[Don]

Thank you kindly,
It is nice to here that I am on the right track- and boy how wonderful the world is when we wake up! You have wrought Bush material/articles- ARTICULATION- I find myself nodding in agreement and thinking 'OK that explains it exactly.' Until now I wasn't able to put the 'Preznits', lol, ways into their proper bizarre context.
Have a great Grand Trine all,
Sincerely,
Don.

Hi Don- Well, it take a while to find your way from the creek to the stream, and from the stream to the river. There is much about our Puppet-In-Chief that I cannot go into, except to reiterate that he will go down in history as America's worst president. You may bet that history will record Bush as a totally corrupt incompetent, and utterly unfit to occupy the high position he has stolen with the aid of his equally corrupt conspirators. He is worse than Harding, Grant, and Nixon, all Republicans, an utter disgrace to our nation and the world. We the people deserve better than these authoritarian despotic war criminals.
