Yep, I feel I’m aware enough by now to avoid control issues with relative ease, but there’s no stage of awareness of self-development to accept others playing puppet with you because they’re the hierarchy, that’s being a doormat, it won’t be bad Pluto to unleash my mars on them lol

Ha, yes, I thought of that after I typed, and went “but the moon is internal, so all these effects should be felt, not necessarily happen in the material world”… I’ll stay tuned then 😉
I’ll let you know if anything supermooney touches moon 😊

Ooh, so good!!! Thanks so much for sharing that, first of all: Congratulations!!!! 😊 This is a major breakthrough indeed and very in tune with the upcoming YOD activation, I can’t wait to have your feedback on the moment itself and also on the decision happening around 😊
Could you tell me more about Chiron in Gemini, if you feel it? Is it just discomfort with public speaking?

I will let you know as soon as I find out about May 1st event weeks later what the final outcome is.

"Ha, yes, I thought of that after I typed, and went “but the moon is internal, so all these effects should be felt, not necessarily happen in the material world”… I’ll stay tuned then 😉"

BINGO it totally can be internally and those are a lot of fun too.

This is popping up for me...

ARIES is on the AC ruled by MARS in aquarius in the 11th house none the less!! so there are lots of disagreements around how to handle the pandemic and people are feeling braver and more outspoken and direct about expressing their views around this and showing willingness to fight for their freedom and rights, showing willingness to protest and rebel.

People are starting to push for the lockdown to end, people are feeling imprisoned. Mars in aquarius in the 11th is disposited by Uranus in Taurus in the 1H which fits individuals coming together as a group to protest.

Protests have started to happen now in several states in the US as we get closer to the May supermoon.

IC is in Cancer ruled by the SUPERMOON in SCORPIO in the 7H. The 7H in predictive astrology symbolizes that which is not in our control, were other people are in a position of making decisions for us, all this while people start to protest for the lockdown to end.

The supermoon in scorpio ruling the IC symbolizes this intense tension around this decision that is not in our control and the concern around death and the economy (both scorpio themes), both concerning topics that are in a state of crisis right now.

March is when this thing reached a crisis level and started to get attention and when the quarantine/lockdown started.

May is the last supermoon of this 3 supermoon back to back series.

I feel lockdown will end in May.

Venus sextile my Mercury/Ceres/Chiron/Sun. Mars sextile the same group, but more widely for my Mercury. Mars in my 4th.

Jupiter square the above in Aries. Same with Pluto.

Saturn still trine my Moon/Venus/SN, square my Uranus/ascendant.

NN in my 8th house.

Chiron conjunct Jupiter, and opposed Pluto. I have that right now, too.

Vertex conjunct Pluto. Juno conjunct Pluto. I'm not sure that sounds so good.

Pholus square Jupiter/Pluto.

Atropos, whatever that is, conjunct my Moon exactly, and my Venus/SN. Square Mars. Inconjunct Uranus/ascendant. I don't think Atropos is good, so I'm not sure that I want to think about this anymore.

Ascendant is exactly conjunct my Mercury.

I'm trying so hard to keep lighthearted and not (even though there's so much doom reported often now) give myself over to lower vibes. We need to swim to shore like dolphins, so unlike dungeons crabs. So much to everyone, we'll be out of these murky waters soon!

I love this metaphor, I have been feeling on and off that pain of feeling imprisoned and not free, it comes in waves but when the wave hits you, it hits you.

And is interesting bc since this crisis started I have been wanting to see the ocean and be near the ocean and I am not an ocean girl, more of a mountain girl so this metaphor "dungeon crabs" and the visual of dolphins swimming to the shores of the ocean connects with this hunger for the ocean. By the shore we are safe and above water but still connected to the ocean. Is the ocean our roots? What archetype are we tapping into?

The nodes are going to be going retro for over a decade so the nodes will not be returning to cancer in 18.5 years so NO been quarantine at home will not be a new lifestyle. Now social distance with Tr Saturn in aquarius will be a thing for a while then stop once Tr Saturn in aquarius retros back to Capricorn and then return when Tr Saturn returns to Aquarius at end of year around November.

Hypatia, now you tapped into the archetype that is being perpetrated to the masses as well. I have read in the past that the birth and death gates are located within Cancer/Capricorn. We are now in the gestation waters of mother Gaia (rebirthing our new time/period) Struggling to make it to the delivery date. With a stressful gestation
from a baby's pov, it might be dark, fearful, threatening. Many of us feel this. Perhaps making it difficult to reach shore (renewal - birth).

Interesting I found this just now > http://cafeausoul.com/astrology/signs-and-archetypes and the Roman portion of it really hit me, as it is marked as a heavy energy with much death and military. Feudal yet no true victors ~ imo. Sacrifice with what feels as though there's no end. Thus we as a collective have to force ourselves to rise to the shores for air and use the salty seas to cleanse ourselves of the 'intruders' that wish to invade our wellness. The pandemic as well as oppressive energies because we are facing more the One threat in this time.
If you use sidereal to examine the grand conjunction it is Cappy. The gate of Death. Of course it doesn't Always mean death but fir some, maybe. Nevertheless, it is great change and it is causing a great amount of discomfort.

I looked at my chart and this coming full moon you posted here is in cnj with asteroid Damir 5717 (peace) and my Arabic pt of happiness I'm being challenged to find it within the current uncertain waters of this time ~ In my actual birth, it was tumultuous. If anyone should understand this energy, perhaps I should.

(Astroids here)
Additionally there's a trine with asteroid Karma 3811 + Lotis 429. ~ I have felt as though a life review has been upon me. Yet I've worked through this recently (several years tbh .. and not hanging on to heavy karmic emotion any longer. It's over. The ocean saline is cleansing me . ..

"The availability heuristic involves making decisions based upon how easy it is to bring something to mind. When you are trying to make a decision, you might quickly remember a number of relevant examples. Since these are more readily available in your memory, you will likely judge these outcomes as being more common or frequently-occurring.

For example, if you are thinking of flying and suddenly think of a number of recent airline accidents, you might feel like air travel is too dangerous and decide to travel by car instead. Because those examples of air disasters came to mind so easily, the availability heuristic leads you to think that plane crashes are more common than they really are."

The fatality rates are less then 1% very far from the original projections. More people die of cancer alone every year, more people die of heart problems alone every year, more people die of drug overdose alone every year. Fear is not letting us handle this reasonably. Targeted Quarantine is what makes sense and is what is going to happen next as we have to readjust reality with the new data, the curve has flatten and death rates have turned out to be actually low.

There are apparently 30 different strains of this thing. "Li's team found that some of the most aggressive strains of the virus were able to generate 270 times the viral load as the weakest strains; in addition, the aggressive strains killed the human cells fastest." This could explain why there is such a range of response and why some old people get it and are asymptomatic and some young people get it and die, it may be a matter of what strain hits you. Lets hope the very aggressive strains mutate into nonsymptomatic strains.

ht tp://www.fox26houston.com/news/coronavirus-has-mutated-into-at-least-30-different-strains-study-finds?fbclid=IwAR1n-NC42adDYRunak--CtlmIO7BXd5OC5vUysyH0TIMXWsjxb7255LzdSQ

30 strains starts to feel like is a flue.

Still death rates are a lot lower than people who die of cancer yearly, of hearth problems yearly or drug overdose yearly and data shows it impacts elderly who are sick the most. Death rates are similar to the FLUE. You have to look at the data as a whole not anecdotal data bc that leads to biased thinking because of the Heuristics bias.

This cannot be a one size fits all solution and is not sustainable to stay at home indefinitely.

If you have family at risk you can do self-quarantine and do targeted quarantine.

Social distance habits will continue for a long time.

Its sad that people cannot have a reasonable discussion about this, there is nothing black and white about this so a black and white solution is not the answer, it impacts EVERYONE, do you understand that?:

"Young and middle-aged people, barely sick with covid-19, are dying of strokes

Doctors sound alarm about patients in their 30s and 40s left debilitated or dead. Some didn’t even know they were infected."

quote:

---

Thomas Oxley wasn’t even on call the day he received the page to come to Mount Sinai Beth Israel Hospital in Manhattan. There weren’t enough doctors to treat all the emergency stroke patients, and he was needed in the operating room.

The patient’s chart appeared unremarkable at first glance. He took no medications and had no history of chronic conditions. He had been feeling fine, hanging out at home during the lockdown like the rest of the country, when suddenly, he had trouble talking and moving the right side of his body. Imaging showed a large blockage on the left side of his head.

Oxley gasped when he got to the patient’s age and covid-19 status: 44, positive.

The man was among several recent stroke patients in their 30s to 40s who were all infected with the coronavirus. The median age for that type of severe stroke is 74.

As Oxley, an interventional neurologist, began the procedure to remove the clot, he observed something he had never seen before. On the monitors, the brain typically shows up as a tangle of black squiggles — “like a can of spaghetti,” he said — that provide a map of blood vessels. A clot shows up as a blank spot. As he used a needlelike device to pull out the clot, he saw new clots forming in real-time around it.

“This is crazy,” he remembers telling his boss.

Stroke surge

Reports of strokes in the young and middle-aged — not just at Mount Sinai, but also in many other hospitals in communities hit hard by the novel coronavirus — are the latest twist in our evolving understanding of the disease it causes. The numbers of those affected are small but nonetheless remarkable because they challenge how doctors understand the virus. Even as it has infected nearly 2.8 million people worldwide and killed about 195,000 as of Friday, its biological mechanisms continue to elude top scientific minds. Once thought to be a pathogen that primarily attacks the lungs, it has turned out to be a much more formidable foe — impacting nearly every major organ system in the body.

Until recently, there was little hard data on strokes and covid-19.

There was one report out of Wuhan, China, that showed that some hospitalized patients had experienced strokes, with many being seriously ill and elderly. But the linkage was considered more of “a clinical hunch by a lot of really smart people,” said Sherry H-Y Chou, a University of Pittsburgh Medical Center neurologist and critical care doctor.

Now for the first time, three large U.S. medical centers are preparing to publish data on the stroke phenomenon. There are only a few dozen cases per location, but they provide new insights into what the virus does to our bodies.

A stroke, which is a sudden interruption of the blood supply, is a complex problem with numerous causes and presentations. It can be caused by heart problems, clogged arteries due to cholesterol, even substance abuse. Mini-strokes often don’t cause permanent damage and can resolve on their own within 24 hours. But bigger ones can be catastrophic.

The analyses suggest coronavirus patients are mostly experiencing the deadliest type of stroke. Known as large vessel occlusions, or LVOs, they can obliterate large parts of the brain responsible for movement, speech and decision-making in one blow because they are in the main blood-supplying arteries.

Many researchers suspect strokes in covid-19 patients may be a direct consequence of blood problems that are producing clots all over some people’s bodies.

Clots that form on vessel walls fly upward. One that started in the calves might migrate to the lungs, causing a blockage called a pulmonary embolism that arrests breathing — a known cause of death in covid-19 patients. Clots in or near the heart might lead to a heart attack, another common cause of death. Anything above that would probably go to the brain, leading to a stroke.

Robert Stevens, a critical care doctor at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, called strokes “one of the most dramatic manifestations” of the blood-clotting issues. “We’ve also taken care of patients in their 30s with stroke and covid, and this was extremely surprising,” he said.

Many doctors expressed worry that as the New York City Fire Department was picking up four times as many people who died at home as normal during the peak of infection that some of the dead had suffered sudden strokes. The truth may never be known because few autopsies were conducted.

Chou said one question is whether the clotting is because of a direct attack on the blood vessels, or a “friendly-fire problem” caused by the patient’s immune response.

“In your body’s attempt to fight off the virus, does the immune response end up hurting your brain?” she asked. Chou is hoping to answer such questions through a review of strokes and other neurological complications in thousands of covid-19 patients treated at 68 medical centers in 17 countries.

Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals, which operates 14 medical centers in Philadelphia, and NYU Langone Health in New York City, found that 12 of their patients treated for large blood blockages in their brains during a three-week period had the virus. Forty percent were under 50, and they had few or no risk factors. Their paper is under review by a medical journal, said Pascal Jabbour, a neurosurgeon at Thomas Jefferson.

In the vast majority of younger adults, covid-19 appears to result in mild illness with the risk of more severe consequences rising with every decade of age. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data, 0.8 percent of U.S. deaths as of Apr. 18 were in people ages 25 to 34; 2 percent among those 35 to 44; and 5.4 percent among those 45 to 54.

Jabbour and his co-author Eytan Raz, an assistant professor of neuroradiology at NYU Langone, said that strokes in covid-19 patients challenge conventional thinking. “We are used to thinking of 60 as a young patient when it comes to large vessel occlusions,” Raz said of the deadliest strokes. “We have never seen so many in their 50s, 40s and late 30s.”

Raz wondered whether they are seeing more young patients because they are more resistant than the elderly to the respiratory distress caused by covid-19: “So they survive the lung side, and in time develop other issues.”

Jabbour said many cases he has treated have unusual characteristics. Brain clots usually appear in the arteries, which carry blood away from the heart. But in covid-19 patients, he is also seeing them in the veins, which carry blood in the opposite direction and are trickier to treat. Some patients are also developing more than one large clot in their heads, which is highly unusual.

“We’ll be treating a blood vessel and it will go fine, but then the patient will have a major stroke” because of a clot in another part of the brain, he said.

The 33-year-old

At Mount Sinai, the largest medical system in New York City, physician-researcher J Mocco said the number of patients coming in with large blood blockages in their brains doubled during the three weeks of the covid-19 surge to more than 32, even as the number of other emergencies fell. More than half of were covid-19 positive.

It isn’t just the number of patients that was unusual. The first wave of the pandemic has hit the elderly and those with heart disease, diabetes, obesity or other preexisting conditions disproportionately. The covid-19 patients treated for stroke at Mount Sinai were younger and mostly without risk factors.

On average, the covid-19 stroke patients were 15 years younger than stroke patients without the virus.

“These are people among the least likely statistically to have a stroke,” Mocco said.

Mocco, who has spent his career studying strokes and how to treat them, said he was “completely shocked” by the analysis. He noted the link between covid-19 and stroke “is one of the clearest and most profound correlations I’ve come across.”

“This is much too powerful of a signal to be chance or happenstance,” he said.

In a letter to be published in the New England Journal of Medicine next week, the Mount Sinai team details five case studies of young patients who had strokes at home from March 23 to April 7. They make for difficult reading: The victims’ ages are 33, 37, 39, 44 and 49, and they were all home when they began to experience sudden symptoms, including slurred speech, confusion, drooping on one side of the face and a dead feeling in one arm.

One died, two are still hospitalized, one was released to rehabilitation, and one was released home to the care of his brother. Only one of the five, a 33-year-old woman, is able to speak.

Oxley, the interventional neurologist, said one striking aspect of the cases is how long many waited before seeking emergency care.

The 33-year-old woman was previously healthy but had a cough and headache for about a week. Over the course of 28 hours, she noticed her speech was slurred and that she was going numb and weak on her left side but, the researchers wrote, “delayed seeking emergency care due to fear of the covid-19 outbreak.”

It turned out she was already infected.

By the time she arrived at the hospital, a CT scan showed she had two clots in her brain and patchy “ground glass” in her lungs — the opacity in CT scans that is a hallmark of covid-19 infection. She was given two different types of therapy to try to break up the clots and by Day 10, she was well enough to be discharged.

Oxley said the most important thing for people to understand is that large strokes are very treatable. Doctors are often able to reopen blocked blood vessels through techniques such as pulling out clots or inserting stents. But it has to be done quickly, ideally within six hours, but no longer than 24 hours: “The message we are trying to get out is if you have symptoms of stroke, you need to call the ambulance urgently. ”

As for the 44-year-old man Oxley was treating, doctors were able to remove the large clot that day in late March, but the patient is still struggling. As of this week, a little over a month after he arrived in the emergency room, he is still hospitalized.

"I'm not prepared to sacrifice older members of my family, so that people can sit in Starbucks."

That is not reasonable, that is black and white. This situation is complex, I am the last person that wants to lose her parents over this but a black and white solution is not a solution. People have the right to earn a living and survive, you cannot take that away from people specially when the death rates have turned out to be way lower than originally anticipated, NOTHING remotely like the spanish flu.

Poor people are the most impacted by this, if you cannot buy groceries then this leads to malnourishment and your odds of surviving this if you get it are A LOT lower. Putting the population in even a more vulnerable position is not the solution.
