The Rogue Trio- Mars, Saturn and Pluto

With (Transiting) Pluto these days hovering close to the cusp of (Tropical) Sagittarius and Capricorn the Sun will tend to dynamically trigger Pluto at Solstices and Equinoxes during 2008 and 2009. The Transiting Sun was in Opposition to Transiting Pluto at the recent Solstice, on the 21st of June.

Around the time of the Solstice a few days ago there seemed to be a conspicuous number of people involved in car accidents. At least two of these people have Mars at either 29 or 0 degrees of different signs, and were therefore under a Sun/Pluto/Mars Transit. Interestingly, in one of these cases the person is under Transiting Pluto Quincunx Natal Mars (which was then being triggered by the Solstice Sun) and was in a car that collided with a big dog at relatively high speed. Quincunx's (150 angles), in my understanding, carry a 6th/8th House connotation, and apart from accidents and other troubles, the 6th House is associated with "pets" (she's also been a little angry with employees and co-workers, other classic 6th House associations). I suggested that she engage in some intense physical work, like scrubbing a mucky kitchen floor, or something like that. There's probably a task of that sort crying out to her anyway; life tends to provide us with opportunities to release and express potentially hazardous energies in beneficial and constructive ways.

Mars and Saturn are approaching a Conjunction which will be exact on the 10/11th of July 2008. Vedic astrology would see them as being in the same constellation already. At the time of the exact Conjunction they will both be at 5 degrees (of Tropical) Virgo. This does arguably cast a somewhat tense energy over the coming few weeks, but of course especially closer to the time of the exact Conjunction. Of course people born at the end of August and the end February (with their Suns early in Virgo and Pisces respectively) will be amoung the most directly... challenged.

On the 4th of May 2002 there was a Mars/Saturn Conjunction that produced, where I was, an extremely cold night that killed my basil plants, and the following day was the only day in my life that I was present at a public shooting incident at a market, at which nobody, thankfully, was hurt.

I once did a reading for someone who asked me whether I could see any dramatic events in his past. I remembered well the Mars/Saturn Conjunction of May 2002, because of the shooting incident and the way my basil plants turned pitch black overnight, and I noticed that that Conjunction had occurred very close to my client's Natal Moon. I suggested that 4-5 May 2002 could have been a fairly dramatic date for him. He thought about it for a moment, and then his eyes grew wide as he remembered.... on that day his ex-wife (Moon) barged into his home and physically attacked everyone present! We might note, though, that at that time Mars and Saturn were together quite closely in Opposition to Pluto, which made it somewhat more "loaded". During that month, I seem to recall, Pakistan tested a ballistic missile meant to intimidate India...
