Astrology in April 2015 - Cataclysm in Nepal, Cataclysm in Baltimore - What’s Happening?

by Robert Wilkinson

It seems “it’s a hot time in the old town tonight” around the world! With going on 5000 dead in Nepal and the count rising, and the Baltimore riots erupting with a ferocity seldom seen these days, something extreme must be in the air!

Here’s a link to the chart of the earthquake in Nepal. Michelle has done a fantastic job in taking care of this important event. On The Wings Of Death – Nepal and India. Astrologers reading this may want to check out her astrological group KISS on FB, since there’s great stuff over there.

The other big “earthquake” or “avalanche” is happening in Baltimore. Rioting has hit white hot intensity over the death of Freddie Gray while in police custody, the latest in a string of American black men dying at police hands. Stonewalling in releasing the arrest report and details of the death have built resentment to such a degree that the news is reporting that gangs are threatening open season on police.

For those who are unfamiliar with this, here’s something from the April 22 issue of The Atlantic: ”Freddie Gray's death on April 19 leaves many unanswered questions. But it is clear that when Gray was arrested in West Baltimore on the morning of April 12, he was struggling to walk. By the time he arrived at the police station a half hour later, he was unable to breathe or talk, suffering from wounds that would kill him.

Gray died Sunday from spinal injuries. Baltimore authorities say they're investigating how the 25-year-old was hurt—a somewhat perverse notion, given that it was while he was in police custody, and hidden from public view, that he apparently suffered injury. How it happened remains unknown.“

For those who want to do the chart analysis, here’s the timeline as reported in Gantdaily where we read that

Pressed on why police initially stopped Gray, Kowalczyk said the department hadn’t released that information because investigators are still conducting interviews.

When officers approached Gray, he ran. They pursued and caught him quickly, at 8:40 a.m., according to a police timeline.

The officers called for a prisoner transport van. Cell phone video taken from two separate positions showed officers lifting Gray, whose hands were cuffed, up by his shoulders and dragging him to the back of the van.

He legs dangled behind him listlessly as he wailed.

Officers put more restraints on Gray inside the van, police said, while surveillance video recorded him conscious and talking. The video has not been released to the public.

That was at 8:54 a.m.

At 9:24 a.m., police called an ambulance to pick Gray up at the Western District police station. Murphy wants to know what happened in those 30 minutes in between.

The ambulance took Gray to the University of Maryland Medical Center’s Shock Trauma Center.

“He lapsed into a coma, died, was resuscitated, stayed in a coma and on Monday underwent extensive surgery at Shock Trauma to save his life,” Murphy said. “He clung to life for seven days.”

This is an extremely bad development for everyone, whether we live in Baltimore or not, since in fact, what happens to one happens to all. So what’s going on that could indicate such chaos?

Keep in mind that the hostilities between the police and young black men on the streets has been building for a while. I’m merely pointing out that it seems that it’s hit a boiling point in Baltimore at exactly the same time as the Nepalese disaster.

You will recall I told you the Grand irrationality is in full display during this Aries New Moon period, showing that the world has hit a huge turning point wherever that configuration is being triggered. It was formed by Jupiter triseptile both Neptune and Pluto, setting a three note “chord pulse” into movement. You can find more by going to The New Moon in Aries Pt. 1.

We’ve also had a few frictional aspects in play recently, as well as right now. Over the past few days we’ve had Sun quincunx Saturn and Venus sextile Jupiter with both quincunx Pluto, creating a Yod, or “Finger of God.” Now the Sun is triseptile Saturn, and Venus triseptile Pluto and about to form a septile to Jupiter and biseptile to Neptune, creating a “fourth note” in the Grand Irrationality chord!

That could certainly explain some of the craziness to what’s happening. I know that the devastation in Nepal makes absolutely no sense to those who are there, since it’s devastation such as few if any people there have seen in a very long time.

And Baltimore makes no sense at all. People dying in police custody is not the way it’s supposed to work. The National Guard has been called up, which makes it seem like a bizarre form of 60s redux. Add in another recent event in Oklahoma where an old insurance executive who is a reserve cop accidentally shot a black man with his pistola rather than his taser and then gets to go on a vacation to the Bahamas? That's over the top crazy!

With Mercury and Mars about to go into Gemini and oppose Saturn and square Neptune, it could begin a long period of agitation. Watch to see what the Gemini transits bring in the way of ideas and discussions that will shape how the Cancer and Leo energies of the Summer express themselves. And of course, the coming Mercury retrograde followed by Venus retrograde will keep “old stuff” front and center!

This leveling of established communities is reminding me of another of your recent articles, Robert. Specifically, Pluto's involvement and effect on everyday human beings and affairs. Meant to comment then on how Pluto's waning opposition to my Moon & Saturn has been nothing less than 'hell' for the past few years...

But what this Plutonian squaring & crossing has done to/for me is bring to the fore of my consciousness the Persephone or Core archetype. A psychopomp, Persephone possesses the ability to navigate and mediate profound depths of lightness and darkness. She's one of hell's guides. Hell's maitre d', if you will.

Resonating loudly with me is the need for many of us to make friends with their shadows &/or demons. To acknowledge one's own innate abilities, to destroy, to corrupt, to abuse one's power, and to honor (instead of disregard or, disrespect) what has died.

Correction(s): Persephone was known as the Kore (or, maiden)goddess. Not 'core'. And better than a maitre d', she's the crowned, titled queen of the underworld.

Than for the very poignant article, Robert.

Thank you so much for the kind thoughts about my analysis in "On the Wings of Death - Nepal and India," Robert. I'm deeply honored and grateful.

And of course, thank you as well for the plug for the group. You are one of the treasures there, you know. :)

This has been my experience as well in the last couple of years. I have become profoundly aware of this energy. It is dark but it is truth. My heart aches from this truth but if I am to free myself from darkness I needed to face it first. I am more apt for the first time in my life to excuse myself from the table where love is no longer being served.

The gangs in Baltimore are NOT targeting cops, please don't contribute to that rumor. They are uniting in solidarity as black men who are targets not only of police violence, but a media that consistently portrays them as killers and criminals.
