"Astrology is an ancient tool that, when used in concert with Jungian depth psychology, can support us in purposes of self-discovery, soul growth, and being "brought to completion." Astrology's "map of the soul" provides each person with a map of their inborn potentials and then symbolically shows how these inborn potentials will seek to systemically unfold over the course of the person's lifetime.
In fact, what I call the "living out" of one's birth chart is the psychological goal and/or task of this lifetime... In Jungian psychological terms, this task is called the process of "individuation" or the natural internal movement toward "wholeness."

Cyclone Nargis Slams Burma
From BBC News:
"The death toll from a devastating cyclone that hit western Burma(Myanmar) on Saturday has now climbed to almost 4,000 people, state media say. More than 3,900 people were killed in the city of Rangoon and the Irrawaddy region alone, state television said.
Thousands more are feared dead and several hundred thousand people are now in need of shelter and drinking water, according to the United Nations. Five regions have been declared disaster zones in the storm's wake.
If the toll is confirmed, Tropical Cyclone Nargis would be the world's deadliest storm since a 1999 cyclone in India, which killed up to 10,000 people."

The Feb. 21 lunar eclipse degree(2 Virgo), is being triggered by the station(May 2) of Saturn at 2 Virgo, while the eclipse chart for Burma's capital city Rangoon, receives stimulation from both Venus and Mars.
The lunar eclipse Ascendant(4 Taurus) conjoined the malefic star Sheratan, Beta Arietis, the Ram's north horn. "Bodily injuries, entrapment, destruction by fire, explosions, war, earthquake, storm, or other violent upheavals..."(Diana Rosenberg) And the eclipse chart ruler Venus just crossed the Ascendant(-0-Sheratan), as violent Mars hit the Nadir(26 Cancer)- the point most related to local weather conditions.
The Aries solar ingress(Spring Equinox) chart featured the potentially destructive t-square between the Sun, Mars, and Pluto, in high relief at Rangoon. The powerful Mars-Pluto opposition fell on the horizon there, in square to the Sun and the Midheaven.
Aries solar ingress Midheaven = 1 Aries = Sun at 0 Aries.
Ascendant = 8 Cancer = Mars 6 Cancer = Pluto 1 Capricorn.
Update May 5:
Today's New Moon is especially powerful, as it falls at the 15th degree of Taurus(-45- the Aries/world point), in hard aspect to Pluto, and with the Moon at it's closest point to the earth(perigee). Astrologer Richard Nolle refers to such a lunation as a SuperMoon, that may portend a higher risk of storms, extreme tides, earthquakes, and high winds, etc.
The New Moon chart for Burma's capital of Rangoon reflects the dire circumstances perfectly. The Moon's Nodes, Neptune, and Chiron, are aligned with the meridian, and square the Ascendant there. This Node, Neptune, Chiron conjunction, refers to a wounding(Chiron) of the collective(Nodes) that involves the seas and flooding(Neptune)- as well as, the spiritual healing invoked by a disaster of this magnitude.
New Moon positions:
Midheaven = 22 Leo.
Chiron = 21 Aquarius.
N.Node = 24 Aquarius.
Neptune = 24 Aquarius.
Ascendant = 21 Scorpio.
