Earth Daze
The 40th anniversary of Earth Day this week falls under a Saturn-Uranus opposition.
One more milestone in the 2012 period, the exactitude on April 26th marks the fourth of five times that Saturn and Uranus reach that magic 180-degree angle in the sky. (Their first peak, this cycle, was 11/4/08 — remember that day? — and their last will be 7/26/10.) The transit is about accepted norms (Saturn) shattering (Uranus) like concrete blocks in an earthquake. All over the world stasis is being confronted by the necessity of change.

The Age of Oblivion
Neptune and Chiron are inching forward in the sky throughout April, slowly separating from their conjunction in February. They remain neck-and-neck all year, which indicates that they still have a job to do; and they’re doing it at the same celestial location: around 26 Aquarius.
Where does this degree fall in your natal chart? This is where you are getting the teaching of a lifetime. By house and aspect, this placement indicates where you are getting glimpses of enlightenment, of a peculiarly modern sort. It also indicates where you are vulnerable to the most curious addiction of our age.
