Because they're still timely and contain a lot of information about what's going on right now, I thought I'd give you a one stop shop so you can reconsider the breadth of important factors happening at this time.
First, never underestimate the power of The Grand Irrationality to throw things into dynamic motion! For your reconsideration:
Mars in Leo Triseptile Neptune and Pluto Triggering the Grand Irrationality in February-March 2010.
As that article was written before the two recent Spiritual Astrology articles detailing the influence of this configuration in March and April, here's the latest:
Since Jupiter is now in the heart of Pisces, bringing us endings and a vast sense of our common humanity as we stand on the threshold of a new (and extremely volatile and dynamic!) period, it may be useful to take a new look (or a new listen) to:
Pisces - Endings, Memories, Feelings, and How To Bless Our Passage From An Old Life Into A New One
Since we entered the Year of the Metal Tiger a few weeks ago, for your renewed consideration:
2010 - Year of the Metal Tiger Pt. 1
Chinese Astrology in 2010 - Year of the Metal Tiger Pt. 2
We'll complete this smorgasbord of information with a final article not specifically about astrology, but important nonetheless. This one can help us recognize and break the cycle of abuse in our lives, and help us to help others who are being battered or abused.
How To Know When You're Being Psychologically Abused or Battered. In this article there is also a link to an earlier related article on "Tactics and Strategies of Batterers and Other Abusive People" which is an important resource for those who must deal with such things.
Enjoy!

Thank you for this timely review of several key topics, Robert. I particularly love the piece on Pisces and endings. I've been studying both Western and Vedic astrology for many years, yet it has taken me quite a while to ''grok'' your theory of the long lasting ''Grand Irrationality'' based on the ongoing Pluto-Neptune septile. The implications have finally become clear(er) to me, including the potency that the Saturn-Pluto square and Chiron-Neptune conjunction add to the mix. Wow! As far as I can tell, you are the only astrologer among thousands with blogs who has detected this subtle yet powerful aspect/pattern, and I thank you for this disovery. I am intrigued by your take on the septile aspect, representing the ''forks in the road of destiny'' and choices and decisions that defy rationality and logic. Another excellent spiritual astrologer, Jim Buss of Seattle, relates the septile aspect to the Tarot number 7, indicating the shape shifter or shaman's hoarding of spiritual power, to be unleashed at the right moment (and for good), and which power dissipates quickly if not unleashed at the precisely ''ordained'' time. This may not be incompatible with your take on the septile, and I was wondering if you could share your thoughts on this perspective.

Hi Kachina - Sure. Sometimes I do this to further economy of energy.
Hi Elizabeth - Glad my work on/with the Grand Irrationality helps you make more sense of that which really makes no sense. Yes, the septile is related to the number 7, though that would relate it directly to Cheth as well as Netzach. Not sure how he ties it in with the Magician or the Shaman, since they're more related to Mercury and Jupiter. However, I do agree from direct experience and years of observation that regarding the use of spiritual energy, we do in fact "use it or lose it," and timing is very precise. With septile series aspects, it's more like a confrontation with something that makes little or no sense where we MUST choose a way, whether it involves the direct use of spiritual force or not.
