255 people in Victoria have the Corona Virus and as yet there are no Deaths.

Mars is conjunct Pluto and Jupiter in Capricorn and has taken on the responsibility for initiating and executing the plan.  Mars is also expressed as anger in the communities at the changes that are being imposed.

The Moon is conjunct Neptune,  bringing a heightened empathy to all the uncertainly we are now facing. Neptune in Pisces pursues meditative or psychic activities and removes itself from the daily world to a more peaceful, serene and contemplative environment.

Saturn has moved into Aquarius, briefly,  heralding the opportunity for reform through new ways of working and thinking.    This is seen in the innovative ways people are now working from home. Aquarius can challenge the world shift its focus from the economy and back to peoples welfare. 

One example is The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra who have been continuing their performances without audiences and streaming them live to You Tube for the world.  They are now exploring ways to perform as an orchestra from their individual homes.  

Chiron and Sun are both conjunct in Aries symbolising a loss of ego and confidence.

On March 23rd all international Australian borders are closed to non residents and WA and SA closed their borders. Victoria closed all non essential services including  hotels , restaurants, cinemas.  Even the AFL football was cancelled.  This is causing mass unemployment and Centrelink queues. MyGov website crashed because of the numbers of people trying to logon. Social distancing laws were introduced to allow one person per 4 square metres in public places.  Everyone was told to stay home as much as possible and this included encouraging  employees to work from home.

The share market has plummeted and a global recession is predicted.   There is a global shortage of goods coming from China and everyone is panic buying from Supermarkets, with goods like toilet paper and hand sanitiser running out.
