Oh how appropriate!! On the day of the new Moon in Pisces in conjunction with Neptune, astronomers confirmed that a new planet consisting mainly of water does exist in the outer reaches of the solar system. Planet GJ 1214b to give it it’s official title is hotter and larger than our Earth, but smaller than Jupiter. If you were to visit, you’d be boiled alive, as the predicted temperature is around 370 degree Fahrenheit, very hot and steamy indeed. The new discovery is 30 light years away from the Earth and was first spotted by ground telescopes in Chile. Since then, the Hubble space telescope has been trained on it and finally today of all days it’s existence was made known to the world.
You know I wondered if something quite special would happen on 21st February 2012. Now the picture is clear. There are three focus areas on the chart away from the clutch of planets in Pisces and Aries. The trines to Saturn from the new Moon conjunction show structure (a new planet) made of water (Neptune/Pisces). The square from Uranus to Pluto and trine from Jupiter to Pluto show a distant place (Jupiter) in space (Uranus) that had previously been hidden from view (Pluto) and general knowledge (Jupiter). Mars in Virgo in retrograde indicates that all the final checks had to be made, all the details should be confirmed before releasing the news. Mars in Virgo opposite to Mercury refines the data so that the announcement is correct. The last thing you would want is such a news event and then find it is erroneous. Again the connections from Uranus in pioneering Aries and Neptune to Mars show the link to astronomy and the expansions of our horizons on earth. This discovery has propelled this new Moon in Pisces to be a most significant day in the history of mankind, and has lit the touch-paper for a generation of astronomers, astrologist and scientists. Their imaginations and desires must be running wild at the thought of what else may be out there in the vastness of the universe. One other thought. Just imagine what may occur in 25 years time when Neptune enter Aires, the sign of boldly going where no one had gone before? An interesting thought indeed…
