Every person has a horoscope based on his/her date of birth. The individual astrology interpretation is based on the date, exact time, and place of birth. The City of Toledo was “born” on January 7, 1837. We do not know the exact time, but we know the place. History shows it was the merger of two villages.
What is going on in Toledo in 2015?
Look at the city’s birth chart and then study the position of transiting planets,
new and full moons, throughout the year.
JANUARY – The planet Saturn is now in the sign of Sagittarius, a place where Toledo’s income may be lower than predicted. Early in the month some officials may be shifted from one department to another. The year is off to a good start but confusion may be the result of Mercury (planet of communication) slowing down on the 20th.
FEBRUARY – This looks like a decent month EXCEPT for the week of the 2nd when Mother Nature may cause some problems. The new moon the 18th may bring a new police class. Talk will resume about charging criminals under state code, rather than municipal, which could save Toledo about five million dollars a year.
MARCH – The budget for the year must be completed by March 31st. This may result in pay increases for city employees, with contracts signed before the 20th. Good news about revenue also comes. The battle with city council will involve money for swimming pools, recreation, and youth programs.
APRIL – There will be attempts to make Toledo’s temporary tax permanent, but nothing will be done until the next election in 2016. The city’s financial picture improves and something finally happens to do some “spring cleaning” in blighted neighborhoods. Look back to April 2014 and complete what was started then.
MAY – Here we go again! City council fights over which neighborhood has the biggest pothole problem. Volunteers are asked to plant flowers and keep the streets looking good. Taxes received are higher than anticipated and everyone wants a piece of the pie. A new class of firefighters is expensive so any talk of swimming pools, parks and recreation for the summer is postponed. Local unions and corporations may help – it worked in 2014.
JUNE – NOW THE WATER! The spirit of cooperation Toledo tries to impart is extended to the county, state, even the USA. Hopefully not everyone carries a glass of green water around. The city comes “alive” with programs at the zoo, the ball park, the waterfront, and festivals every weekend. Hopefully the pools are open and the parks are cleaned up.
JULY – The first five days are fabulous! Parades, fireworks and holiday fun light up our days and nights. Fast forward to the new moon on July 15th when everybody is in a good mood, money is not a problem, and the neighborhoods are getting cleaned up.
AUGUST – FUN! FUN! FUN! Again, the county fair, the rib-off, countless festivals in the entire area, and hopefully great weather keeps everyone happy. Unfortunately the pools will have to close early but cleaning up the neighborhoods will continue.
SEPTEMBER – There are two eclipses this month. There should be a Labor Day Parade and a few more festivals. Starting the 14th council has to get busy again working on the budget and it should be completed no later than the 28th. There will be some strong arguments (especially at the beginning) and the mayor will have to exercise his power to keep things under control.
OCTOBER – The city has to get busy with its “housekeeping” chores, leaf collection, demolishing vacant homes, etc. The investment made by the city was a wise one, even though some of the council people didn’t agree with the decision.
NOVEMBER – “Happy Days are Here Again” with the holiday parade, the lights at the zoo, and the unbelievable spirit of cooperation the community puts forth. Thanksgiving dinners are available for people who need them. The toy drive begins for Christmas and the smiles appear on faces everywhere. It’s a wonderful month.
DECEMBER – The new moon on December 11th shines where entertainment at the Stranahan, the Valentine, and the Huntington Center brings joy to so many. There is a full moon on Christmas Day which shows delight for all and the year ends with plans already in place to begin another satisfactory year for the City, its employees, and residents.
