2017 – Year of the Rooster preliminary

Abstract:

Timing: Chinese New Year – Year of the Fire Rooster begins at the New Moon on 27 January 2017 at 7:07 PM EST.

The Chinese animal year begins each Western year about 4 February - it does not begin at the Chinese New Year. Those born 3, 4 or 5 February should consult http://www.chinesefortunecalendar.com/Chineseastrology.htm to correctly ascertain their Chinese animal sign.

The first day of the animal year is different from the Chinese New Year Day. The animal year starts on the first day of the Tiger month. Tiger month begins from the day when Sun enters ecliptic 315 degree position, which is around February 4 Gregorian calendar. That means the animal month is solar month, not lunar month.

How Oriental Astrology works: Oriental astrology is essentially “good luck” astrology in that it tracks the planet Jupiter, considered to be one’s Greater Fortune. Jupiter takes 12 years to transit the zodiac of 12 signs. Therefore, in whatever year you were born, every 12 years when your Oriental zodiac animal year returns, the planet Jupiter will be in the same sign it was when you were born. Jupiter is called Guru in Hindu astrology and is considered your spiritual teacher.

Thus, roughly speaking, ALL Rabbits [Cat] have Jupiter in Aries; Dragons, Jupiter in Taurus; Snakes, Jupiter in Gemini; Horse, Jupiter in Cancer; Sheep [Goat], Jupiter in Leo; Monkey, Jupiter in Virgo; Rooster, Jupiter in Libra; Dog, Jupiter in Scorpio; Pig, Jupiter in Sagittarius; Rat, Jupiter in Capricorn; Cow [Ox], Jupiter in Aquarius; Tiger, Jupiter in Pisces.

AND because when Jupiter returns to the place it was when you were born that causes an expansion of the “good luck” in your horoscope. Some signs have more innate “good luck” than others, so the Oriental animal year is more important to some signs than others. Because Jupiter is exalted in Cancer, Horses probably experience more increased good luck during Horse year than other signs do in theirs.

Incidentally, I have never seen this derivation of Oriental astrology anywhere – I arrived at it myself.

Compatibility legend

1 excellent     2 successful     3 – good     4 – fair     5 – awkward     6 – clash

We can construct a rough ‘affability quotient’ for the signs by summing the compatibilities of each of the 12 signs with each of the other. Thus,

Rat – 36

Ox – 39

Tiger – 45

Rabbit – 37

Dragon – 37

Snake – 38

Horse – 40

Goat – 40

Monkey – 35

Rooster – 43

Dog – 38

Pig - 31

Tigers are, by quite a bit, the most self-centered and difficult to get along with followed by Roosters – Pigs by far the most affable. Using the compatibility table it is possible to make rough estimates on how your year will go. When it is your year it is invariably transforming and expansive - sometimes too much so. When it is the opposite of your year, that is, 6 years away, it can be restrictive and inharmonious.

Major US war 2027... like 1776, 1860, 1944

`It's a poor sort of memory that only works backwards,' the Queen remarked.

Version 1.0 to be edited and graphs included later - maybe

Abstract: We can easily predict that 2027 and the years following will be a once-in-a-century transforming cataclysm for the USA as both the Pluto cycle to the US North Node complex and the Uranus cycle converge as during the Civil War and WW 2.

The astrological energy is similar to 1782, near the end of the American Revolution, except it has the additional energy of the planet Uranus returning to its place at the founding of the US, 9 degrees Gemini, 4 July 1776. Previous times Uranus was at this degree are:

·       1944

·       1861

·       1777

·       1693

·       1609

And at these times there was heavy involvement with foreigners, either them invading the US or the US fighting overseas [1944], except for the 1861 period of the US Civil War. I believe the 1693 period is when the English threw the Dutch out of America, and 1609 is when Henry Hudson sailed into New York, establishing Dutch presence in the New world.

I expect the energy of this aspect to begin strongly in 2026 – only ten years from now, although it should be noted in 1944 we had been at war for 3 years and in 1782 for 6 years, so this period could commence earlier.

As noted, Empires do not end quietly.

The US horoscope is subject to several recurring major cycles. When any of these cycles touch sensitive points in the US horoscope, events occur. When multiple cycles converge on sensitive points major events occur.

1. The first major cycle is the transit of the planet Pluto through the zodiac with a 248 year major period, 64 year minor periods [248/4] of 90 degrees and irregular approximately 30-40 year periods of 45 degrees. Whenever the USA’s natal Mars/Neptune/North Node complex[1] is reactivated by the planet Pluto – God of the underworld, death and regeneration, major events happen even when a ‘minor’ period is operative. For example, the ‘minor’ period centered on 1968 midpointed the roughly 8 year Vietnam period in American geopolitics. The Pluto period is:

Date          relative strength          astrological notation    

6/1782       ***                             AQ opp North Node      American Revolution

8/1815       *                                PI                               War of 1812

4/1859       **                               TA                               Civil War

3/1906       *                                GE                              Panic of 1907, Fed Reserve

7/1943       ****                           LE cnj North Node        WW 2

3/1968       *                                VI                               Vietnam [Tet]

8/1986       **                               SC                              ???

10/2004     *                                SA                              Iraq & Afghanistan

4/2028       ***                             AQ opp North Node

4/2060       *                                PI

Significant periods of influence last from several years before and after these dates. Each of these periods except for 1986 has been marked by war.

2. The Uranus cycle is a second major cycle operating on the US horoscope and has a periodicity of 84 years, the time it takes the planet Uranus to complete a 360 degree transit of the zodiac. The transits of Uranus to the position in the US horoscope where Uranus was 6/6/1944, D-day, are:

8/6/2027	Ur > 9 GE 20	USA UR return
10/24/2027	Ur > 9 GE 20
5/18/2028	Ur > 9 GE 20
6/5/1944	Ur > 9 GE 20	D Day 6/6
1/24/1945	Ur > 9 GE 20
5/9/1945	Ur > 9 GE 20	VE Day
12/18/1860	Ur > 9 GE 20
4/11/1861	Ur > 9 GE 20	Ft. Sumpter 4/12
6/23/1860	Ur > 9 GE 20
11/21/1776	Ur > 9 GE 20
5/1/1777	Ur > 9 GE 20
7/12/1776	Ur > 9 GE 20	Revolution!
10/22/1692	Ur > 9 GE 20	Mass Bay Colony
5/18/1693	Ur > 9 GE 20
8/7/1692	Ur > 9 GE 20
6/5/1609	Ur > 9 GE 20	Hudson arrives NY
5/5/1610	Ur > 9 GE 20	9/1609
1/27/1610	Ur > 9 GE 20
4/10/1526	Ur > 9 GE 20	Verrazano  NY 1524

We can easily predict that 2027 and the years following will be a once-in-a-century transforming cataclysm for the USA as both the Pluto cycle to the US North Node complex and the Uranus cycle converge as during the Civil War and WW 2.

[1] The USA’s Mars is 90 degrees away from its Neptune in the 360 degree horoscope wheel. At the midpoint of this 90 degree aspect is the North Node of the USA. This greatly intensifies the sensitivity of the North Node making any aspect to it by other planets take on great power as the entire complex will be re-activated.

Mars/Neptune people have a well-deserved reputation in the deceit/deception department, generally because they're never sure of the ramifications of their actions. They lead others down the "garden path" in unproductive, unsatisfactory endeavors, yet they are relatively unconscious of their misrepresentation.

…Inadvertent disasters through incompetence tend to occur with Mars/Neptune. It's like shooting an arrow into the ocean. That's what happens to your intentions, your drive and initiative. This incompetence can also invite disasters in personal relationships and business ventures. Despite positive intentions, Neptunians need to more accurately define and to focus their energy, while looking ahead to the consequences of their actions.
