What's in the Stars for NYC on 9/11

By Lou Raedwulfe


With only a few days left until the ten year anniversary of 9/11 in New York City, there is an uneasy feeling in the air surrounding that date. It is no wonder why because the destruction, loss of life and financial problems, have been burned into every true American heart. Our country was violently attacked on that horrific day. Using the birth date of NYC and the 9/11/2011 date, the astrological line up poses some very interesting things, which is the object of this work.

Like other esoteric practitioners, psychic reading experts and astrologers, I have studied the upcoming anniversary from multiple angles. No astrological analysis would be complete, though, without focusing on the epicenter for that tumultuous day in New York City. Truly, this upcoming ten year mark will bring a "New York state of mind" to all of us.

The star/planet lineup for 2011 have an interesting story. A progressed chart for NYC on 9/11/11 shows an interesting astrological aspect. Conjunctions are present: Sun/Mercury and Sun/Midheaven and Midheaven/Mercury are present along with the minor aspect of a quintile for a total of four in this chart. This is interesting indeed and is significant.

Cycle beginnings and endings are often noted when a Sun and Midheaven are conjunct, and they will be conjunct on 9/11/11. Considering the current economic, political and financial conundrum pervading the USA, this cycle profoundly affect this country.

Mercury, curing this conjunction, causes us to pay attention to the needed wisdom and to make sense of how we can proceed during these trying times. Our strength will come from Mercury and help move us forward with a clearer understanding of how to make sense of the life we once knew, feeling safe, to the new life as it unfolds with much less certainty.

When a combined, or Davison chart is calculated however, the picture becomes clearer. For this combined chart, I used the date of New York City's founding, August 29th, 1664 and the 9-11-11 anniversary date. Much like the Davison chart which I cast using the U.S. date of birth and the tenth anniversary, mighty Jupiter takes center stage.

Uranus, Mars, Venus and the Sun are all in opposition to the huge and powerful planet, Jupiter. The opposition of the Sun to Jupiter will create broken promises and can cause ostentatious behavior. Venus, when in opposition to the Sun can cause over reactions with our emotions, while Uranus and Mars in opposition can promote over speculation, gambling and over indulgence. On this 9/11, is becomes quite clear that these combined aspects could seriously impact an already wobbling financial situation in the US which is clearly an attack on the economy itself.

Mighty Jupiter will be residing in the 10th house which rules resolutions of karmic nature and political direction. There may be increased activity in the political and social areas because of the way 9/11 is handled. This could easy rise the bar on emotional levels everywhere and leave some with a very bad feeling.

Most of us would rather not be in the situation we are. However, the dark cloud hanging over us may get blacker as this date arrives. Relationships at all levels have their ups and downs, and so it goes with the government, our politicians and our personal lives. We do have the strength to get through tough times, as we have done before.
