I hear ya, all we can do is tighten up and roll with the punches.  Perhaps Fate will allow us to throw a few, too!  :D

@ Nutsy "singing falsetto" made me snort.  nice!  I forget you're another mega scorp.  (My sister is, too.  She's got a big stellium in Scorp and another in Libra next to it - she was born on the cusp.)

I was originally going to say he'd be talking like Mickey Mouse, but the mouse has no place in jail...neither do I for that matter!  :D

Indeed.

My daughter's birthday is the 9th. I'm trying not to worry too much, though. Whaddya gonna do, y'kno?

lupa, ireland sounds smashing for an end of the world adventure!

i'm looking at one of the *stan's ... for school... for a few weeks... like a hornet's nest... one of the staging area countries for our troops out there...

yeah, goddess, it's a week before my father's birthday.... leos this year are going to have some very interesting solar returns.

speaking of which, i should look at mine...

Geez. This is also going to be the last hit of my Saturn return (retrograde). 

my little brother's going to be a dad!!!!

There were very few T-squares between the outer planets in the last 250 years. They all correlated with very important global events.

- Last cardinal T-squares:

1931- Similar to this one (Pluto, Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars), it was Great Depression, many social protests, political extremism and the early events leading up to WWII a few years later. It was also the time of Gandhi, and the discovery of nuclear energy and rocket science.

1910- Between Uranus, Neptune and Saturn. Shortly before WWI

1783- Just after American Revolution and before French Revolution

- Fixed T-squares

1873- Long Depression, Second Industrial Revolution

1795- During French Revolution, shortly before the Napoleonic Wars

- Mutable T-squares

1966- Between Uranus, Pluto, Saturn and Jupiter. The Sixties!

1755- Start of Seven Year War, which preceeded the American Revolution

As you see, for the next 10 years we should have lots of powerful event.

Lordy! I have no cardinal signs so it won't affect me, but my son has a cardinal grand cross so uh oh!

Abbie, where does your son has the cardinal cross?Which planets?Hope it's not in early cardinal signs!

My natal moon at 0 cancer on IC will create a grand cross and hopefully will get me into my own home after a long time of tension and recent stuff with uranus hitting my natal venus 29Pis conj asc.

I had a day like you couldn't dream of today with one delay after another regarding mobile, inet banking, phone company charging an internationla rate for their 'local' call number and so on and on. I could have dug and  jumped in.

My birthday is on 8 august (I born in 1982), but the solar return will fall on august 7th. I'll have ascendant in capricorn hiting my 8th natal house, solar pluto conjuncting the ascendant capricorn and solar return sun in the solar 8th house (what kind of transformation will I have especifically ? I am guessing here). The stellium venus/saturn/mars in ninth oppositing the conjunct of jupiter/uranus in the 3rd. In natal chart I have a stellium of saturn (5th house) in libra, pluto (in 6th) in libra, mars and jupiter also in 6th but in sign of scorpio. ahhhhh, let's see what may happen !

Just realised I have a natal grand cross with Mars, jupiter, moon and pluto, wonder if it is going to set off anything....none are in cardinal planets though ...fixed signs, the saturn mars conjunction on the 7th are in my 4th house,pluto in my 7th , jupiter -uranus in my 10th and the moon in my first:( concerned something is going to happen to someone in my family...

Negative predictions? 

There seems to be so much doom and gloom going around - in terms of national or global events, some HUGE or disastrous things may happen - as many people tend to point out. 

But, in terms of personal events or growth, we should view it positively? *scratches head* I sure am confused. 

My sun moon midpoint

I'm all the more confused because, well, my sun/moon midpoint is right at the early degrees of cancer. Is the sun/moon midpoint of importance, in this case of the cardinal grand cross?

I do know that whether or not it is, a lot of the outer planets are touching it now - pluto, saturn (almost), jupiter, uranus... umm, I read that this is correlated with falling in love/marriage. SO FAR I do not see this happening. :P

My Ascendant

My ascendant also happens to be 3 degrees Cancer - conjunct (if this is the right term here) my sun/moon midpoint. Do you guys know how this will affect me? My sense of identity, purpose in life, my self-esteem? :S 

I'd say this is a critical time in my life, because I finished undergrad and will be working stuff out to start graduate school, and, I hope to successfully move countries b/w now and September. I'm really wary, to be honest  

And lastly, my North Node in aries is also in early cardinal. Though I'm a fixed sign person, my sun/moon, ascendant, neptune, and NN do seem to be touched.

If you've got insight, I'd so love to read them.  Thanks.
