New earthquake in northern Italy
From BBC News:
"A new earthquake has struck the Emilia region in northern Italy, killing at least 15 people and leaving several others trapped under rubble.
Tuesday's tremor, estimated at magnitude 5.8, hit the same region where a quake 10 days ago killed seven people and destroyed many buildings. Buildings damaged by the first quake have now collapsed in Mirandola, Finale Emilia, San Felice and Cavezzo, Italian media report. Milan and Bologna were shaken too.
The quake struck 40km (25mi) north of Bologna and 60km east of Parma, at a depth of 9.6km (six miles). It was felt as far away as Venice and the Austrian border.
Many people ran out of buildings when they felt the tremor, which struck at 09:03 local time (07:03 GMT)."
This deadly quake would seem to confirm the national horoscope for Italy (June 10, 1946) mentioned in previous posts, with Neptune now transiting the natal 4th house cusp (weather & earthquakes), that was triggered by the May 20 solar eclipse. Retrograde Venus is partile conjunct Italy's natal North Node of fateful events. (Venus is debilitated when retrograde, and the Moon's Nodes are eclipse points.)
The chart for today's quake features Uranus on the Midheaven square Pluto- while the quake 10 days ago had Pluto on the Midheaven square Uranus. This epic square reflects sudden shocks and upheavals, of various kinds. (And there are 7 exact Uranus-Pluto squares from June 24, 2012 to Mar. 17, 2015.) The ruler of the event Ascendant (25 Cancer) is Luna, that's tightly conjunct violent Mars- Moon = 13.58 Virgo = Mars 13.40 Virgo. And Saturn (23 Libra) squaring the earthquake Ascendant is also stressful.

Astrology Quotes by Carl Jung
We are born at a given moment in a given place and like vintage years of wine we have the qualities of the year and of the season in which we are born. Astrology does not lay claim to anything else. - C.G.Jung
Astrology is one of the intuitive methods like the I Ching, geomantics, and other divinatory procedures. It is based upon the synchronicity principle, i.e. meaningful coincidence. ... Astrology is a naively projected psychology in which the different attitudes and temperaments of man are represented as gods and identified with planets and zodiacal constellations. - C.G. Jung
The starry vault of heaven is in truth the open book of cosmic projection, in which are reflected the mythologems, i.e., the archetypes. In this vision astrology and alchemy, the two classical functionaries of the psychology of the collective unconscious, join hands. - C.G. Jung

Jesus' Crucifixion Date Possibly Friday April 3, 33 A.D., According To Earthquake Study
"A new study suggests that the Biblical date of Jesus' crucifixion is, in fact, possible to confirm.
The International Geology Review investigated an earthquake that was said to have occurred the same date as Jesus' crucifixion; which was most likely Friday April 3, 33 A.D.
In Gospel of of Matthew, Chapter 27 says: “And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit. At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split and the tombs broke open.”
According to Discovery News, geologist Jefferson Williams of Supersonic Geophysical and colleagues Markus Schwab and Achim Brauer of the German Research Center for Geosciences, analyzed earthquake activity in the area by studying three cores from the Ein Gedi Spa beach.
The research confirmed that two major earthquakes have hit the area specified, one during the period between 26 BCE and 36 CE, and could be the one referred to in the Gospel of Matthew.
However, the earthquake data alone doesn't fully confirm the date. Williams, Schwab, and Brauer admit that the earthquake implied in the gospel could be allegorical, referring to the earthquake that occurred sometime before or after the crucifixion.
This earthquake would have been powerful enough to break apart the sediments of Ein Gedi but not enough to have warranted "a still extant and extra-biblical historical record."
“If the last possibility is true, this would mean that the report of an earthquake in the Gospel of Matthew is a type of allegory,” they write in the International Geology Review.
Further research is being done by Williams and his team who are now analyzing the report of darkness from noon to 3pm after the crucifixion. Three of the four canonical gospels confirm that darkness pervaded during those three hours which could allude to a dust storm, according to Williams.
As reported by Discovery News, Williams is investigating if dust storm deposits coincide with the early first century Jerusalem region earthquake." The Huffington Post
I don't think it was visible in the Holy Land, but there was a partial lunar eclipse on Friday April 3, 33 A.D.

Did Latest Solar Eclipse Stall Facebook IPO?
From ANS- Astrology News Service:
Stock Market Newsletter Editor Says Corporate Projects Initiated Before A Solar Eclipse Tend Not to Live Up to Expectations
"If you are looking for still another reason why Facebook IPO fell flat on its first trading day last Friday astrologer Grace Morris has a suggestion.
“Solar eclipses tend to move the market in new directions. But companies or projects started or initiated before an eclipse – especially a solar eclipse – are greatly handicapped and will probably not live up to expectations,” she said.
The Facebook stock opened at 11:30 a.m. on Friday May 18 and only managed to break slightly better than even on opening day, a bad omen for IPOs.
On Monday, the first trading day after the partial solar eclipse on Sunday, May 20, the price of Facebook’s stock dropped 11 percent by the close of the day.
Following an eclipse, Morris says the market tends to reverse itself and the trend is in the opposite direction. After 12 down days, the market was poised for a projected turnaround that was expected to push prices generally higher until the next lunar eclipse on June 4.
But it’s no sure thing that Facebook (FB) will be along for the ride, she said.
Morris has worked with clients for more than 20 years setting up successful incorporation dates, IPOs, and first trade dates. She writes and publishes two newsletters, The Right Time and The Astro Economics Stock Market Newsletter, which recommends stocks by sectors according to their favorable cycles.
A new cycle beginning in June will favor transportation, education, communication, media, telecommunication, travel and pharmaceuticals. She expects stocks in these sectors to generally outperform the market in the next year.
Morris’ record has included COOG, up 266 percent since 11/04; BIDU, up 938 percent since 6/07; NTES, up 140 percent since 4/09; CERN, up 189 percent since 5/09; EBIX, up 133 percent since 6/09; PCLN, up 405 percent since 9/09; MELI, up 206 percent since 9/09; SXCL, up 323 percent since 10/9; VRX, up 273 percent since 12/09; RAX, up 253 percent since 12/09; AAPL, up 209 percent since 1/10; LULU, up 436 percent since 1/10; FFIV, up 119 percent since 4/10; ALXN, up 25 percent since 7/10; and SWI, up 135 percent since 9/11.
In the first FB trade chart a favorable Sun/Jupiter conjunction is dominantly placed and the Facebook IPO did in fact get lots of action and attention on opening day.
But the stock may have accountability problems because Mars and Neptune are aligned in a stressful 180 degree opposition aspect, made more challenging because timing for the opening trade angularly placed the aspect where its effect will be more intense.
Other stressful aspects suggest the company may spend too much based on unrealistically high expectations for cash inflow. Or, as some analysts have suggested with hindsight, the IPO’s asking price may have been too high with too many shares hitting the market at the same time."
This is a no-brainer. You never pull the trigger in the shadow of an eclipse, unless you have no choice in the matter.

Stellar Events - Mercury in Gemini
Shortly before Sunday's solar eclipse the Sun entered the sign of Gemini the Twins, and will conjoin retrograde Venus at 16 Gemini on June 5/6. The messenger planet Mercury- ruler or lord of Gemini, enters it's home territory May 24 at 11:13 am (GMT). Therefore the pace of mental activity, communication, and social interaction will tend to speed up, as connections are made more easily. Our thoughts about past or future relationships are frequent and changeable.

See the Moon with Venus Tonight
Last time in 2012: Moon and Venus very close evening May 22
"On May 22, 2012, for North America and most of the world, the moon swings closest to the planet Venus for this month. The moon will still be in the vicinity of Venus after sunset on May 23, but not as close as tonight. With Venus about to drop into the sun’s glare, tonight is the final curtain call for these two brightest nighttime objects – the last time you’ll see the moon and Venus appear so close in the evening sky for the rest of 2012. Enjoy!
Note the soft glow of earthshine on the dark side of the the waxing crescent moon tonight. Earthshine is light reflected from Earth’s day side, onto the moon’s night side."

After Solar Eclipse, June's Venus Transit of Sun Is Next Amazing Sky Sight
"Sunday's "ring of fire" solar eclipse may be history, but skywatchers have another stunning event to look forward to — next month's historic Venus transit of the sun.
On Sunday (May 20), the moon covered most of the sun's disk but left a ring of light blazing around its circumference. The resulting annular solar eclipse wowed skywatchers in parts of Asia, the Pacific region and western North America.
As impressive as that sight was, it may just be a warm-up for the Venus transit of the sun on June 5 (June 6 in much of the Eastern Hemisphere). Venus will cross the sun's face from Earth's perspective, appearing in silhouette as a tiny, slow-moving black dot.
The dramatic celestial event will be visible from all seven continents, and it's a must-see for skywatchers; Venus won't trek across the solar disk again for 105 years." [Venus Transit of 2004: 51 Amazing Photos]

Suicide Attack in Yemen
"More than 90 people have been killed in a suicide bomb attack at a military parade rehearsal in Yemen's capital, Sanaa, defence ministry officials say.
The bomber, who was reportedly wearing an army uniform, blew himself up among a group of soldiers at al-Sabin Square, near the presidential palace. An al-Qaeda source told the BBC one of its members had carried out the attack.
It was the deadliest incident in the capital since President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi took power in February."

The solar eclipse chart at Yemen's capital of Sanaa, looks similar to the one for yesterday's earthquake in Italy. Here, Pluto (extreme events- upheavals) is exactly (to the degree and minute!) conjunct the Midheaven, and square Uranus (sudden, often radical events) on the eclipse Ascendant. Eclipse Midheaven = 9 Capricorn = Pluto 9 Capricorn = Uranus 7 Aries = Ascendant 12 Aries. This is a dramatic example of how an eclipse can focus the major planetary aspects.
According to the BBC article, Yemen is now a central front for the war on terror and Al Qaeda. This eclipse chart would seem to confirm that.

Dancing Eclipses
The school across from my house has trees in front, and this image is of the eclipse coming through the tree leaves. There were many people out in the streets here in SF watching the eclipse and chatting- the Gemini energy was palpable.
