When relocating to another city, you can usually see transits to angles of the relocated chart. This can be a boon for narrowing down possibilities as well as timing moves.
As we know, moves often occur when separating planets such as Saturn, Uranus, Pluto, Rahu and Ketu aspect the angles (and by angles I refer to the Ascendant/Descendat and the MC/IC). However, what is less well known is that one usually has transits to the angles in the new location as well. This is more easily observed when the new city is far away from the original place of residence.
A Korean client of mine recently moved to Toronto from Seoul. When she arrived in Toronto, transit Saturn conjoined her relocated ascendant in Toronto within two degrees while the nodes aspected her relocated MC/IC. This is a fairly typical pattern.

USA: a difficult summer
As indicated previously, the USA is ripe for a major destructive event this year. My early prediction for March-April proved to be wrong (or premature).
The 2005 inauguration chart for Bush provides another clue for the likely timing. With Saturn now in Cancer, it is applying to oppose the 10th house Sun this summer. At the same time, transit Rahu is applying to a trine aspect to 8th house Mars. These transits are in orb now, suggesting that an event may not be far off, and that the US is entering a period of instability from June through August.
More specifically, the period of June 5 - 9 looks problematic as Saturn crosses the IC. A natural disaster is more likely at this time, and given the Sun's opposition to natal Mars on the 9th, it seems that the government or the president will be directly affected. This is most likely to represent pressure and stress brought to bear on him.
The next potentially difficult period is June 30 - July 3.
I would also watch July 20 - 25 carefully. When Mars conjoins 1st house Rahu, it creates conditions for violence.

Canadian Parliament : Act 2
So where are we now? The Liberals survived by the narrowest of margins on May 19 only the defection of a prominent Tory MP to their side. It is unclear how stable parliament will be now, especially since the Tories have their 4 opposition days coming up starting on May 31 whbere they can table non-confidence motions.
I'm a bit surprised by these developments, since I was
certain that the Canada chart showed sufficient
disruption to indicate a spring election. While the
Gomery commission has fueled a politically damaging
scandal for the Liberals, this has so far manifested only
in falling poll numbers, a stalemate in Parliament, and political uncertainty that has driven the dollar down below 80 cents. The height of the revelations of the scandal took
place during the Saturn station when Saturn squared
the Canada ascendant.
I say "so far" because other non-confidence votes are
possible in the coming days and weeks. The next
Opposition Day in the Commons is May 31st. It is very
possible that the Tories will attempt to bring the
govt down. But what could change to change the vote
outcome? For one thing, independent MP Chuck
Cadman is battling cancer and there is no guarantee
that he could make it back to Ottawa for yet another
vote. And since he sits as an independent, there can
be no pairing off of MP from either side of the house
to allow for sickness.
In any event, the Uranus station is still going to
qunicunx the Sun/IC/Uranus conjunction in June and at
that time transit Rahu (north node) will be that much
closer to the Ascendant of the midnight chart. So I
expect the instability ought to continue for some time
to come. And I will stick with my original prediction
that the Liberal government will fall by early July.
Last summer I had specified a June or July election
for this destabilizing configuration involving Uranus
and Rahu.

Yankees hit bottom
The baseball season is under way and much to everyone's surprise, the New York Yankees find themselves tied for last place with the lowly Tampa Bay Devil Rays in the AL East. This despite the biggest payroll in baseball of over $200 million.
The Yankee woes made me wonder again about the correct time of the April 22 1903 Yankee chart. The 4.30 pm time that's out there didn't seem to fit too well and now seems to fit even less so: that chart has 14 Virgo rising which puts Jupiter very close to the ascendant. Hardly what one would expect from a terrible start of 11-18.
After looking at it, I reckon the Saturn Rahu square may be involved and therefore perhaps a time of 3.05 should be considered. This creates an ascendant of about 27 Leo. This has Saturn making its 3rd house aspect to the Ascendant while the Rahu-Ketu station at 28 Pisces-Virgo falls on the 6-12 equal house cusps.
And Leo works better for the Yankees because chart ruler Sun would then be in its highest degree of exaltation at 9 Aries. Perfect for the most successful sports franchise in the world.
Let's see how their fortunes improve once the nodes begin to move again later in May.

USA: March 25th and all is well
Well, March 22nd came and went and nothing much happened in the USA or anywhere else. And thus I watched the usual media spew with that peculiarly astrological sense of emptiness. No news is good news, unless you're an astrologer, and worse, one who has been predicting something major to go down.
As I indicated previously, however, this is at least a month-long window of some danger that shouldn't be ignored with the passing of a single day earmarked in a psychic's imagination. There are still many loose planetary threads out there that may yet weave themselves into something tangible.
A solar eclipse is upcoming on April 8th and this coincides with Mars at 20 Capricorn (Lahiri ayanamsha). This will likely bring an act of violence and destruction as it aspects the ascendant of the 2005 Bush inauguration chart while conjoining the 10th house Neptune there. Interestingly, that transiting Mars will also be opposing the Houck USA chart's Moon and opposing the Grimes USA chart's ascendant -- give or take a degree or two. So that period right around the eclipse looks unstable.
I would say that the danger will have passed after mid April. If nothing significant happens by then, then I will say I made a wrong prediction.
Until then, I'm still reading keeping my eyes and ears open.

Canadian Politics: PM Paul Martin on last legs
There are a number of indicators that point strongly to the imminent defeat of the Liberal government under Paul Martin.
Looking at his oath of office taken on July 20 2004 10.30 am EDT in Ottawa, he is running Venus Moon dasha and Uranus is opposing the Moon and will station within one degree of it and only two degrees from the ascendant. The pigeon-toed PM will wake up one fine June morning and realize he's toast. It seems unlikely that even Bono can bail him out this time. Transit Neptune also opposes a fallen 6H Mars so that gives further support to imminent scandal or demise. With the Gomery commission still ongoing, it is very possible that Martin will not escape significant allegations. These may come to light in April when transit Mars joins Neptune around 18-24 degrees of Capricorn.
In the Canada chart, this June station of Uranus at 16AQ will closely qunicunx Canada's Moon. In my experience, any close outer planet aspects to the lights or the ascendant usually betoken a change of government. In all likelihood then, the Conservatives under Stephen Harper will take over by July at the latest.
Au revoir, Paul.

Countdown
As mentioned in my forecast, there are a large number of astrological factors coming together now that point to a major destructive event taking place in the USA sometime in March or early April. I believe the most likely manifestation of the event is an earthquake in the Los Angeles area. A number of the workable USA charts show obvious tense aspects involving Pluto. This is a long term affliction however that can least for a year or two. What makes the current time frame more highly charged is the presence of two stations by slow-moving planets, namely Saturn on March 22 and Pluto on March 29. While both planets are capable of triggering events of major significance on their own, the simultaneous stations points to a very powerful event.
Of the three major USA chart I use, the Houck chart is perhaps the least indicative of a major event at this time although it too strongly suggests that the next month or so will contain some difficulty. The lunar returns, for example, bring Saturn and Neptune on the angles. These planets indicate harm and suffering and disease. The LR chart of February 22 has Saturn culminating while Neptune makes a perfect square to the MC-IC. LR Mars squares the natal Moon-Rahu conjunction. The LR chart of March 21 is no less afflicted as Saturn rises within one degree of the ascendant and LR Mars aspects the MC-IC within one degree. The MC-IC in turn lies in exact aspect to natal Pluto. Together, the charts suggest death and destruction on a large scale.
The chart for the incorporation of the City of Los Angeles (April 4 1850), is also highly afflicted. Natal Venus sits in the first degree of Aries (Lahiri ayanamsha) and therefore it is under the concurrent influence of Rahu and Pluto. This double influence puts Venus and it significations (pleasure, happiness, art, women, etc) under significant pressure. If one uses the midnight chart, then the LR of March 5 has Pluto within 2 degrees from the LR descendant and Uranus conjunct the LR MC within just one minute!
The Saturn station will cast its most malefic 10th house aspect to the IC (within 5 degrees) and the Sun (within 3 degrees) and Venus (within 4 degrees). While none are extremely close, the fact that three important points will be influenced by a powerfully stationing Saturn in late March is significant. Moreover, the Saturn aspect is to the 4th house of home, land, and earth which clearly suggests an earthquake or some other destructive event such as a major terror attack. At this point in my thinking, however, I think an earthquake is much more likely.
On my website, I indicated that the earliest possible date for the event would be March 15. This fits neatly with transit Mars' square to Venus/Uranus in the Los Angeles chart near that date. More exactly, Mars comes square to Venus on the 13th and then to Uranus on the 17th. Mars then moves a bit further to square Pluto on the 21st.
Another significant triggering influence is the station of Mercury at 20 Pisces on March 19th. This falls exactly on natal Saturn in the Los Angeles chart within one degree. An afflicted Mercury such as this means interrrupted or damaged transportation and communication. Both manifestations would be evidenced after an earthquake or attack.
I will post more thoughts in this space in the coming days.
