The fallout from last night’s tense Full Moon is spilling out all over today’s headlines. In Alabama on Tuesday, a quiet young man killed ten people – beginning with his mother (remember the Moon conjunct Saturn in that Full Moon chart?) and ending with himself.
This morning, I turned on the radio to listen to the soothing tones of Carl Kassell while I prepared breakfast. The top story was horrendous news of a grisly killing in a German high school. A gunman killed 12 people at the school and another three who got in his way, and finally killed himself.
And In the past five days, Northern Ireland has seen its worst political violence in a decade, with two British soldiers and a policeman killed.
Deep breaths, people.

It’s not all guns and murder, of course. Venus in her contrarian retrograde mode has delivered the best successive days in the stock market so far this year, and bestowed a welcome influx of work (and money!) upon yours truly. I’m fairly cruising through this rough week, I must say, which perplexes me: the Full Moon and Saturn/Uranus are hitting my natal Mars almost precisely. Not that I’m complaining, mind you; I guess this just describes the man in my life (Mars) having a tough week – my poor husband is battling a succession of technical challenges at work.
How are you doing?
