http://www.galacticcenter.org/2005_predictions.htm<snip>
February 22nd the Moon’s nodes (Rahu/Ketu) will change signs. Rahu will change into Pisces and Ketu into Virgo. The nodes remain in a sign for one year and a half. Ketu will conjoin Jupiter while Jupiter remains in Virgo till September 27th. Ketu is the indicator of loss and Jupiter expands the planets close to it. This can symbolize great losses. Where there is loss there is a search for ways of alleviating the pain, resulting in a search for the spiritual. Spirituality will be on the rise with more people looking in this area for healing and comfort. Actually, I believe this will be the beginning of intense interest in the metaphysical and spirituality that honors freedom of thought not based on fear. Great strides in research supporting life after death will be in the news.
The new Moon on February 8th has Pluto and Mars in the12th house in Sagittarius representing secret plans for attack and war. Religious fundamentalism is brewing on all sides of beliefs. Beliefs are becoming more polarized. We must hold constant thoughts of world peace, for this will counteract the old conditioned beliefs that keep our world in fear.

March
The new Moon occurs on March 10th in Aquarius close to Uranus. This will open minds to new ideas. Look for inventions, discoveries, medical breakthroughs and cures to give new hope to the world. Mars in Sagittarius will oppose Saturn in Gemini creating tension and delays in plans for the future. Anger and frustration grow with confrontations and disputes never resulting in any compromises.
Mercury turns retrograde March 21 in Pisces. This will cause all sorts of delays and miscommunications. Pisces is the sign of victimization, and since it is close to Rahu, watch for martyrs trying to manipulate others with their victimization.
There are plans to jump start the economy. Airlines and travel are having many problems. There may be possible airline fatalities as in crashes and explosives. Jupiter and Mercury are in parivartana or mutual reception and mutually aspect each other by opposition. This will give rise to some big ideas. The real-estate market will get a boost by the economy or government. Pluto will turn retrograde on March 28th, this is a powerful intense turn of events with plans for war dealing with explosives or bombs possibly atomic energy.
