It’s the vernal equinox and this year the new moon falls on the same day. That only happens every 19 years making it a fairly rare occurrence. In addition, within a day of the new moon, Pluto enters the sign of Aquarius for the first time since 1777. That’s extremely noteworthy and a major turning point.
This spring has a fated and destined feel due to many astrological phenomena happening in close proximity: the New Moon on the vernal equinox, Pluto leaving Capricorn and entering Aquarius through June 12, Saturn entering Pisces, and a solar eclipse on 4/20/23 at 29°50’ Aries the very last degree of the sign. It buttresses today’s new moon offering more metaphors pertaining to death, re-births, endings and beginnings. It also figures prominently in events happening on the world stage because the 0° Aries point is being triggered. This culminates at the Mid Heaven in the chart cast for Washington DC, a place of action and public visibility. It’s important to observe in the coming weeks what comes to light in more evolutionary ways in the country and the world as well as our personal lives. Pay attention to what or who is leaving your life right now and how those events forge new beginnings: some which you’ll welcome and others maybe not so much. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and therefore it is about birth, new beginnings, energy, fire, vision and directness, often to the point of bluntness. There is an innocence and honesty about the sign because it tells it like it is even if you don’t like what is said or how the message is delivered. The Aries tone can often be loud and bombastic. Sensitive types don’t often deal well with the in-your-face directness especially if it comes across as confrontational. Aries likes to present things at face value unstripped of unnecessary excess. It is raw and often unformed. At its worst Aries is a bully, loud, obnoxious, warmongering, angry and abrupt. It needs to be tamed. These negative traits usually come to a head if Aries feels it is not being received by others in an honest and open way or if the planets in Aries have challenging aspects causing the native to learn many lessons in life on how to tame the energy and work with it in more sophisticated and consciously elevated ways. The best Aries has to offer is courage, bravery, honor, competition and positive uses of aggression and assertiveness. It has a maverick and pioneering disposition. Pluto leaving Capricorn is making us aware of patriarchal traditions and structures that have not stood the test of time. Some need to be destroyed and others transformed into new diversified forms. Entering Aquarius is going to bring up more issues around the infrastructure of society surrounding social causes, social media, financial institutions, politics, technology, artificial intelligence, the internet and humanitarianism. Look back to the seeds that were planted on the Jupiter/Saturn conjunction at 0° Aquarius on 12/21/20. Pluto is triggering that degree with a more intense, passionate, disruptive and transformative power. Saturn/Jupiter set off a 20-year cycle on the economy as both planets parry in a game of checks and balances. Pluto pushes everything to extremes. It goes deep into the subterranean bowels of our collective psyche to uncover, purge and reveal the dark, rotting, dead and decayed. Pluto unearths the shadow side of our democracy and other social institutions that must be elevated to a new level since the birth of our nation in 1776. We are fully ensconced in the Age of Aquarius if you haven’t already noticed. Pluto puts us under surveillance in all areas of society. One prime example out of many is the use of facial recognition technology and artificial intelligence. Big brother is monitoring and watching every single movement through surveillance thanks to the quantum leaps in scientific and technological advances. Another is the recent bankruptcy of the Silicon Valley Bank and Credit Suisse. This is a hint of things to come in greater waves in 2024 when Pluto returns to Aquarius. We are in unchartered territory of enormous pulsating power. Things from the occult and hidden spheres will start to erupt from the bowels. As mentioned above, Saturn/Jupiter set the stage and imprinted the coming cycle back on 12/21/20 and Pluto now sets it into evolution in unstoppable ways. Amidst the dark will be hope for the new future and an excitement of the good that can be done with this unleashed power. Yet, the sword cuts both ways. We all know that humanity often abuses power and new technology and there is no way around the dark, mafia-driven mentality of mankind through manipulation, war, autocracy and mind control. We are in a “New World Order” whatever that phrase means to you. In the tarot deck this is where the World card meets up with the Fool. There is the completion of one journey and its integration combined with a new beginning into unchartered territory. Throw in the Tower card to add some roller-coaster excitement via break-ups, break-throughs and break-downs along with enlightenment and awakenings. Those that want to play Dr. Frankenstein and re-animate the dead may be playing God in blasphemous ways. Do you want to control humanity or liberate it? What is in your heart? We are shedding a dying cycle like a snake sheds its skin and butterfly emerges from its cocoon. It’s terrifying standing on a precipice but also extremely regenerative. The energy of many will be short circuited by this new wave. We will be made acutely aware of the cycles of life through the deaths of those souls whose time has arrived to transition. Honor their journey. Helping others in their transition says a lot about one’s empathy for the plight of humanity. Pluto in Aquarius can be described as power to the people. There will be a battle between controlling fascist autocrats vs. a more democratic diversity. The concept of leadership will change over the coming years. Let’s see what happens with space travels and the growth of new ideas defining community, family and friends. There is so much more that can be said but I hope by reading this post and several of mine from the recent past that you get the idea. The birth of spring this year has the power of an atom bomb and nuclear explosion. ![]() The traditional Hallmark version of Valentine’s Day always conjures up beautiful images of Cupid, flowers, chocolates, music, candlelit dinners and romantic love. One always wants to write an upbeat article about this holiday that celebrates Venus and Eros. It’s always possible to put a positive spin on astrological interpretation especially when Venus travels through the sign of its exaltation, but don’t let that fool you. The imminent ingress of Saturn into Pisces on March 7 and Pluto into Aquarius on March 23 conjures up post-holiday images of a St. Valentine’s Day massacre rather than Botticelli’s Birth of Venus. I speak in hyperbole of course and it’s not all doom and gloom, but as Bob Dylan famously coined, “The Times They Are A-Changin’.” The planetary energy this Valentine’s Day says by all means enjoy the romantic, Hallmark traditions of the holiday, but the deeper meaning lies in the transits approaching just a month later. The vernal equinox is full of deaths, transformations and endings combined with births, rebirths and new beginnings. The chart for the day places Venus in a rather beautiful position. She’s exalted in Pisces, the sign of unconditional love, conjunct Neptune the planet of transcendental beauty, seeing beyond the material world into the soul of ethereal spirituality and divine magic. It’s as if Venus is bathing luxuriously in the Land of Oz or Shangri-La: a world of rainbows, unicorns, magic, fantasy, glamour and illusion! We should enjoy it! But the question after the fact will be—is it real or an illusion? The Piscean/Neptunian conundrum and riddle is that the fishes swim in two directions, so the answer is both! Enjoy the fantasy while you can because Saturn in Pisces will place a limit on those dreams, reveries, pleasures and imaginative flights of fancy. It’s as if Venus and Neptune conspire to pull the wool over your eyes before Saturn enters the picture to spoil the fun. From Saturn’s point of view he’s not spoiling the fun but he does want you to earn it. The Lord of Karma will supply a healthy dose of reality to ensure you’re not fooling yourself with pipe dreams, castles in the air and unrealistic expectations. Saturn wants you to ground dreams and bring them down to earth. He’s not against them, but he demands taking responsibility and working for them. Only then are they worth having. Achieving dreams is 1 percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration. A yeoman effort must be exerted to concretize the ideas in the creative imagination. Everyone is approaching a reckoning between whether they have the discipline to manifest dreams or face the disappointment of possibly sacrificing, surrendering, letting go and giving up. For some Saturn will provide the ecstasy of fulfillment and for others the agony of despair. Venus rules pleasure, therefore another question to face this spring will be about putting the brakes on indulgences and escapist tendencies that have eroded our productivity. It’s time to take a long, hard look at bad habits such as drugs, alcohol and indolence before they run amok and break you beyond repair. Saturn in Pisces is like getting a new pair of glasses to see things more clearly. It’s a cautionary warning to stop viewing life through rose-colored glasses. This will be a very sobering time for many. Uplifting Piscean endeavors such as spirituality, medicine, music, art, poetry, meditation, yoga, photography and movies can gain traction. Let’s not forget that Valentine’s Day falls during the Aquarius time of year, which as a youngster baffled me. It’s drummed into the zeitgeist to celebrate and exalt romantic intimacy, sexuality and sensuality between partners. Aquarius says to open up that view of love to a broader definition. The airy water-bearer is the sign of friendship and love amongst equals. It has a very generous and humanitarian bent at its core. Brotherhood, sisterhood and a utopian love that celebrates all humanity is an Aquarian trope. Enter Pluto into the picture: How is that utopian interpretation going to sit with everyone when the Dark Lord of Hades oozes into Aquarius on March 23? The symbolism in February is to enjoy things while they last because there is evolutionary change in the air as we continue to transition from the past into the future. Giving birth is always painful. Pluto in Aquarius will challenge us to choose our friends more scrupulously and question the infrastructure of our friendships, communities and group alliances. Who stays and who goes? Who stands the test of time? Which friendships are deepening with passion, love and uplifting power vs. which are rotting, decaying and need to be purged? On a political level, the polarization of special interest groups will deepen. Aquarius may be the sign of democracy but it’s also the sign of communism and socialism. Pluto in Aquarius will bring up issues of transparency in government and large civic groups, such as the police and military as well as social services. What might happen to Social Security in the upcoming years? Will the British Monarchy survive in its present form? Pluto can reveal the icy, cold underbelly of Aquarius in a way reminiscent of the French Revolution. The guillotine, an invention that beheaded thousands who disagreed with the political concepts of the new regime, ushered in the Reign of Terror. Counterbalancing the negativity will be the concepts of enlightenment and humanitarianism. There is a massive amount that can be written about the upcoming transits of Pluto and Saturn. We are at a crossroads in the world as these two titans enter the last two signs of the zodiac. Before that happens in March, use the beautiful aspects on Valentine’s Day to celebrate love with cherished family and friends that have proven their worth and value through thick and thin, and stood the test of time. They will be the loyal ones in the upcoming years. Of course, there will be new people entering with whom to trust, merge and forge new emotional bonds. They will appear when the time is right, according to the rules and regulations of the Saturnian clock. Just don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater. Heaven or Hell can be a place on Earth. Watch for extreme manifestations of both in the next few years. Remember: Pluto’s lesson is learning where to maintain control vs. where to give it up. Saturn’s lesson is to face your fears, otherwise they become your limitations. It’s time to clear out the ghosts in your closet. Joseph Addeo is a Level IV NCGR-PAA Certified Astrologer.

The winter solstice, also called the hibernal solstice, occurs when either of Earth's poles reaches its maximum tilt away from the Sun. It is the day with the shortest period of daylight and longest night of the year, when the Sun is at its lowest daily maximum elevation in the sky. The word solstice is derived from the Latin sol ("sun") and sistere ("to stand still"), because at the solstices, the Sun's declination appears to "stand still"; that is, the seasonal movement of the Sun's daily path (as seen from Earth) pauses at a northern or southern limit before reversing direction.
Because the winter solstice is the reversal of the sun's ebbing in the sky, in ancient times it was seen as the symbolic death and rebirth of the sun or of a sun god. In cultures which used cyclic calendars based on the winter solstice, the "year as reborn" was celebrated with reference to life-death-rebirth deities or "new beginnings". It’s a time of year that’s dark so we celebrate the rebirth of the sun with many holidays that feature abundant symbols of light such as Christmas, Chanukah and Yalda. We celebrate abundance at this time because we know the sun will be growing in light once again. Most cattle were slaughtered so they would not have to be fed during the winter, so it was almost the only time of year when a plentiful supply of fresh meat was available. I’d like to reflect on the chart for the moment of the Sun’s Capricorn Ingress. This is an important chart that gives an overview for the next 3 months of what’s going on in the United States and our place in the world. It’s also a chart that gives insight into what we may expect from the weather. It highlights those astrological significators that may take precedence and be more noticeable in the zeitgeist. The chart is set for Wednesday, December 21, 2022 at 4:48:02 pm, EST, Washington, DC. The nation’s capital is chosen because that is the center of power and the heart of the government. The first thing to notice is the angles on the world axis with 0° Cancer Rising. The angles on the world axis denote that things are set for the next three months to play out on the world stage. Angularity is the most important things and the two main angular planets, both of which are on the world axis are the Sun at 0° Capricorn and Jupiter at 0° Aries. They are in a tight square joining the 7th and 10th houses. The 7th house is the house of our allies and open enemies and the 10th house the house of the president, the countries destiny and our reputation in the world. This signifies that our leadership will be feeling rather confident and perhaps hubristic. But this would be true of our allies as well with Jupiter square the Sun, and it will also be true of our hidden enemies because Mars, the ruler of Jupiter in Aries, lies in the 12th house of what goes on behind our back and is retrograde. This means everyone throughout the fall has been planning a military course of action behind the scenes that may come to fruition in the first quarter of 2023 after Mars turns direct on January 12th and Mercury turns direct on January 18. J Jupiter at the highest point in the chart signifies weather patterns that are grandiose, large and more expansive than usual. This is already playing out as we approach Christmas day and Winter Storm Eliot is blanketing the country with snow, rain, flooding, blizzard conditions and incredibly high winds. The effects of this storm are so tremendous as to cover the entire continental United States. Part of huge magnitude of this storm is Jupiter on the world point ruled by a retrograde Mars in the travel sign of Gemini. Mars in turn is ruled by Mercury about to turn retrograde in Capricorn the sign of family traditions, structures and systems. I think we can expect an above average serious winter storm season. Jupiter, together with a Chiron stationing direct, both ruled by that retrograde Mars in the 12th house symbolizes some kind of expansion and visionary thinking in healing areas of life such as guns, violence, anger, military action, education, health and medical industries. There will probably continue to be a great deal more talk and conversation about the patriarchy and toxic aggressive yang energy. Our leadership requires new philosophies on dealing with old traditions and structures and the hope of this aspect is the ability to cross bridges and introduce new, more progressive philosophies on how the country should move forward. We must continue to heal the past in order to evolve into the future. Jupiter at the top of the will have much to say about the Supreme Court and the direction of lawmaking as well as what influence does religion have when passing laws and forming the beliefs of the country? The chart has much military symbolism as well and that energy can go in many different directions. We do have a war raging in the Ukraine and there will be more questioning of what our role is as the war escalates and evolves. Hidden strategies are continuing with retrograde Mars in the 12th and Mercury in the 7th and I don’t think we’ve seen everyone’s full motives in action quite yet. Along with the 6th house representing the military it also represents the national health. The Moon in the 6th house opposing Mars in the 12th is a continued battle with many airborne health diseases. The public (Moon) fighting the inner, unseen enemy that is Mars in the 12th house. A Sagittarius Moon can be a spread of more foreign strains of flues, covid, Monkey pox and other easily spread communicable diseases. One word about the upcoming Mercury retrograde that starts off the New Year. Mercury retrograde in Capricorn is a review of where we are too rigid in our thinking. There’s a needed review of communication. It’s a continued questioning of rules, regulations, rigidity, and bossy behavior. How do people in positions of power, and each and every one of us personally, find more appropriate ways to dictate our influence and communicate with a more authentic voice of authority? Mercury retrograde in Capricorn wants to master skills and find ways to improve the workplace. There should be a searching for more practical results. Where is curiosity limited and how can we break through those limits? We have all had an appetizer course of Jupiter in Aries from May 11 through October 28 having had a sneak preview of its meaning. This time around will feel more like the main course. As I said earlier the biggest aspect in this chart is the angular Sun square Jupiter on the world axis in houses 7 and 10. While astrologers like to think the benefic Jupiter acting in more noble ways on his downside he can often pile on more shit and add fuel to a fire. Let’s see what continued new discoveries are brought to our awareness in the first quarter of 2023. There are new roads, paths and adventures and we must have the ability to face life anew. The country and the world need a facelift and Sun square Jupiter is just the energy required. Tuesday, December 20th. Jupiter enters Aries. The greater benefic leaves Pisces, the last sign of the zodiac, where he’s been on a more internal, spiritual journey. In Pisces there’s been a quest for deeper meaning and compassion for the more introspective side of life and what steers our spiritual sojourn. We may have arrived at a new philosophy around our belief systems and what guides our higher will and purpose.
Jupiter in Aries is burning with new fire, zeal and energy. Aries is the sign of new beginnings, new adventures, new births, new outlook, new life and Jupiter just inflames all the above. Opportunities abound with this placement and there is so much to look forward to as Aries seeks new horizons in its visionary quest to conquer. There is hope and great expectations to seek a new outlook on life and have faith in the future. In whatever house Jupiter is entering there will be expanded confidence to take risks and seek creative expansion and new knowledge. The greater benefic will generally bestow blessings in this area of life. If Pisces is the most selfless sign of the zodiac then Aries is the most selfish. I don’t mean that negatively, although everything has a polarity. Jupiter will bring out the Aries desire for self-assertion and self- interest in more noble ways. If one is focused positively on oneself for self-improvement then it is far easier to help others in selfless ways. We have all had an appetizer course of Jupiter in Aries from May 11 through October 28 having had a sneak preview of its meaning. This time around will feel more like the main course. Here’s a quick rundown of the houses. The house that Jupiter travels through while in Aries now through May 15, 2023 will be the area of life that receives a boost of confidence, hope, optimism and sense of wonder. It will be where a fire is lit under your butt to take action in generally more positive and lucrative ways: House I – Your overall personality, physical appearance and outlook on life. How you put yourself out in the world publicly. This is your approach to life. Jupiter in this house seeks a new more open-minded identity. You have the opportunity to be more popular House II – Money, values, possessions and innate talent. You may care more about the earth and environment. A blessed feeling around abundance and being provided for. Jupiter in this house seeks material security. House III – Sibling, cousins, aunts, uncles, short distance travel, communication, education, writing, teaching, learning, the neighborhood, women of stature. Jupiter in this house seeks learning on the social and intellectual level. House IV – Home and family (physically and psychologically), history, the past, the parents, real estate, private comfort zone, ability to bond and form umbilical ties. Jupiter in this house seeks action on the emotional and soul level. House V – Children, fun, games, entertainment, recreation, hobbies, joy, dating, romance, sex, creative self-expression, sports. Jupiter in this house seeks identity security by a rebirth of vitality in that which brings us pleasure. House VI – work, health, pets, employees, servants, the daily routine, craftsmanship, skills, mentoring, learning, service. Jupiter in this house seeks new learning on the material level. House VII – social engagement, marriage, partnership, public noticeability and taste, artistic enterprises, joint enterprises, lower courts. Jupiter in this house seeks action on the social and intellectual level. House VIII – death, joint finances, taxes, sex, support from others, inheritance, taboos, hidden things, secrets, passions, the occult. Jupiter in this house seeks emotional and soul security. House IX – foreign travel, religion, university education, law and higher courts, philosophy, philanthropy, the higher mind. Jupiter in this house seeks learning on the level of identity. House X – status, career, reputation, recognition, public standing, authority figures, destiny, worldly achievement. Jupiter in this house seeks action on the material level. House XI – giving back to society, group endeavors, friends, public recognition of humanitarianism and charitable work, goals, good fortune, political affiliations, clubs, teams, future goals. Jupiter in this house seeks social and intellectual security. House XII – escape, imagination, institutions, imprisonment, second sight, hidden things, karma, spirituality, caught between two worlds, fantasy, cloistered places, healing, health, selfless humanitarianism and charity. Jupiter in this house seeks learning on the emotional and soul level. Today is the Full Moon in Gemini, made more powerful since it occurs simultaneously with the occultation of Mars. Mars is perigee which means it’s furthest away from the Sun, yet closer to Earth. If you’re fortunate to have clear skies, you’ll be able to see Mars brightly rising in the East in direct opposition to the Sun as it sets in the West once the full moon wanes and passes. This will continue to be visible for most of December but is at its brightest now.
A lunar occultation occurs when the Moon passes in front of Mars and hides it from our view. It makes for an eclipse like feeling as Mars is blocked, acting in a roguish way that might feel out of control, invisible or behaving in unexpected and bombastic ways. Things and situations can be more intense. Expect the unexpected and watch what comes to light that you didn’t see coming. Mars has the ability to behave loudly, brashly and do harm if it’s acting out in unconscious ways. In world news we’ve seen this full moon occultation of Mars play out in the Ukrainian drone attacks against Russian military bases and the competitive race for the Georgia Senate seat between Raphael Warnock and Herschel Walker. The Moon represents your feelings, memories, unconscious habits, moods, reactions, mother, caregiving, nurturing, home, security needs, and the past. Mars is associated with confidence, self-assertion, aggression, violence, bravery, courage, sexuality, high energy levels, strength, ambition, competition and impulsiveness. It governs war, guns, sports, competitions, and physical activities in general. On a positive note, Moon conjuncts Mars provides the courage, confidence and initiative to act on passionate desires. There’s an urge to stand up for family, friends and loved ones. Fight for a cause you care about deeply. There can be an increase in personal charisma and sexual relations. The ability to act quickly on your feet and speak improvisatorially can come to your aid in situations requiring courage and bravery. On the negative side rash impulsiveness and impatience can make for powerful emotional outbursts and subconscious reactions that bubble to the surface in angry and inappropriate ways. There can be fights for control. The sign of Gemini suggests the air can be full of angry words and misguided communication. Anyone may quickly become angry, agitated, bossy, mean, rude or even violent. Irrationality, irritability combined with hot headedness and aggressive instincts can lead to unnecessary danger from risk-taking. Acting rashly can lead to accidents. The occultation of Mars dampens its fire which is why some of the more negative energies can manifest as Mars fights for a way to express itself. He’s not a planet that understands subtlety and finesse. Hidden knowledge and information is revealed leading to newly gained wisdom but this might not occur for several weeks or until after the retrograde ends on January 12. This is the time when we learn and discover how to integrate our Martian warrior energy in healthier ways. Where can you improve your personal power and leadership abilities? It’s time to review old, worn-out themes and bad habit patterns in order to build new mental muscle patterns. Find appropriate and healthy ways to release the over-abundance of testosterone through strenuous physical activity such as sports, exercise, and sex. Clean your house and help your Mother!! The retrograde of Mars is ideal for re-planning a new course of action towards reading, writing, teaching, education and learning. It’s time to press the reset button! Saturday, November 12. We are several days past the lunar eclipse so certain things will slowly start to calm down as the week progresses. Election results will be decided, and there will be more answers or at least awareness of issues in our personal lives as well. I think the influence of Uranus being so close to the eclipse degree on Election Day had to do with many reversals in certain races. Mid-term elections are notorious for not going in favor of the incumbent president's party. This is the first mid-terms in a very, very long time that that didn't happen. It was assumed the democrats would lose many more races, thus leading to losing the house and senate, and that doesn't necessarily seem to be the trend. Uranus in this case was a reversal of the usual trend that we see in mid-term elections. Where in your personal life did you see a reversal in the usual playing out of events, behaviors and results?
Election results are still being tabulated so let’s see in the coming days if there is something out of the blue yet to come that takes us off guard. There could be more upsets, reversals and turnarounds. It isn’t over yet. We have also seen the liberation of Kherson City in Ukraine as the Russian army has retreated. Let's see if these victories continue over the coming months with a retrograde Mars while Uranus triggers the eclipse degree in late November, early December. The energy today and through the weekend is much more pleasant. The Cancer Moon makes flowing aspects to Uranus, Sol, Neptune and Mercury. Its opposition to Pluto will lend some balance to incorporating issues that have come to light that must be incorporated into the fabric of daily life. Venus in sextile to Pluto uncovers motivations and passions in relationships. There is an opportunity to take intimate relationships whether for pleasure or business to a more trusting and deeper level. Tuesday, October 25. Today is the Solar Eclipse at 2° Scorpio. Aside from the Sun and Moon the other major planetary players in this eclipse are Venus, which is conjunct the eclipse degree, and Mars in Gemini, which rules the sign of Scorpio. Mars will turn retrograde on October 30 and will remain so through January 12, 2023.
Solar Eclipses often initiate action around fated new events although this one will have more a feeling of endings before finding a way out of confusion and darkness and making the new beginning. All new beginnings start with a review, and this eclipse triggers several months of a much longer, deeper and introspective review in order to figure out how to best proceed with one’s future. The intensity with which the eclipse affects your life depends on aspects to natal planets and important chart points using a 3° orb on either side of two degrees Scorpio (as well as the other fixed signs of Taurus, Leo and Aquarius. The tighter the aspect, the better or worse the experience will be. This eclipse will have a feeling of dredging up the past. Old situations, relationships and ways of doing business are dying. Scorpio is a sign that must process sensitive feelings and emotions before they get to a boiling point. There is an urge to transform energy in order to feel more alive and vital. The eclipse has the potential to awaken things that are dead, psychologically buried or hidden from our view that must be brought into consciousness in order to transform situations to more evolved levels. Because Scorpio is ruled by Mars turning retrograde in Gemini this would be an excellent time, almost for everybody, to go back into therapy, whatever that phrase means to you. Re-engage in an inner conversation with yourself and others surrounding difficult subjects. You have to fix your interior mental plumbing. Mars retrograde is about taking care of unfinished business. With Venus conjunct the eclipse degree we are awakening and resurrecting dead relationships either to deal them a final death knell or to resuscitate them and communicate on a deeper level with the other person. This will either make for a reuniting and rebirth of the relationship or the final resolution of a matter fully and forever. A nail may be put in the coffin literally and figuratively. You will also see the combination of deaths and births on this eclipse more than usual. There is always a phoenix rising from the ashes down the line. That most likely won’t occur until after January 12. It’s important to communicate clearly, with more fervor and passion with loved ones and all deeply committed relationships whether lover, spouse, child, therapist, co-worker, boss or anyone one else with whom you feel a close and trusted bond. Loyalty is the name of the game. In my life just in the last two weeks five relationships have come back to haunt me like ghosts from the past. I have received communication from people with whom I have had little connection in recent years. Issues I thought were dead and buried need my attention and have to be re-addressed, some more deeply than others. Some of these people I thought I would never hear from again. It’s a feeling of the dead rising from the grave. I have heard from countless clients about the death of parents, about divorce and also about miraculous things like new love being born. The eclipse is an entry way in doing shadow work over the next several months. Scorpio deals with deep, private, uncomfortable feelings that we often like to keep under cover. Well, that is not possible right now. It’s time to do detective work, investigate and reveal hidden motivations. Halloween should be very interesting this year with Mars turning retrograde within 24 hours of the holiday. Treaters will be tricked, and tricksters will be treated. Pay extra careful attention to car traffic with the youngsters. There could be more eruptive types of energy around Halloween. Loud and boisterous energy will abound in the local neighborhood. You will be questioning the psychological health of all your most important relationships. Be wary of anger issues and difficult conversation with siblings around anything that is emotionally prickly. This may involve dealing with the business of death and dying and the financial distribution of an estate. It could be difficult conversations surrounding health issues with a parent or other family member and the inherent difficulty of dealing with quality of life for the elderly. Some may decide upon a new course of education and for writers this is a marvelous time for editing and refining work already in progress. A good rule of thumb for the 6-week eclipse period from October 9 through November 23 is nothing is as bad as it seems and conversely nothing is as good as it seems. There’s a heightened sensitivity to all matters and with Mars squaring Neptune for the rest of the year that won’t help with logic or clarity so stay flexible and open minded. Venus Star Point. The Sun/Venus conjunction at 29° Libra on October 22 marks the beginning of a 100-year cycle in Libra and the end of a 100-year cycle that started in Scorpio in approximately 1925-26. There will be another cazimi conjunction at 0° Scorpio four years from now, so there is a slight overlap as we move from one era to another. This cycle moves retrograde in the zodiac similar to the lunar nodes. It is about death and rebirth that will play out on the world stage and in your personal lives. In world news we see this shift in eras symbolically represented by the deaths of famous women such as Queen Elizabeth and Angela Lansbury both of whom symbolize a major transition from one era to the next. It’s not by accident that both were born in 1925. Each were megastars in their fields of endeavor and wielded major power.
In the media we will be more aware of how we treat "others" in society. Libra is the sign of the "other" or the partner. The sign wants to fight for equal partnership and equal representation. We are seeing major issues regarding women’s right resurfacing with the overturning of Roe vs. Wade in America. There will be increased awareness of how we give equal voice to those with less representation in society. The discussion of the balance of power on the Supreme Court will continue to take center stage. There are the riots and protests in Iran after the killing of Mahsa Amini by police for not wearing her hijab properly. The war in Ukraine is very symbolic of honoring the rights of other peoples and nations and being treated fairly by our open enemies. If you have planets around 0° Scorpio and 29° Libra you will feel this shift of endings and beginnings far more acutely than others. Your life will transform, transmute and evolve in unexpected ways as you are being asked to grow and embrace something new about the concept of love, and finding new balance and awareness of its presence or lack thereof in your life. The Venus star point ingressing into Libra is the birth of a new era in all Libran matter: love, peace, fairness, harmony, balance and equality as well as beauty. If it hits a planet or point exactly by conjunction square or opposition then that planet will be an instrument in how you accomplish those Libra goals. This will be true for any point at 0° of the fixed or 29° of the cardinal but it is the Scorpio/Libra points that are the most sensitive. If you are old enough to remember the Saturn/Pluto conjunction between 27-28 degrees of Libra in late 1982 early 1983 you may be able to correlate events from that time in your life to what is happening now. For instance, my Ascendant is 28° 51’ Libra and in 1982/83, when only 23, I was hot and heavy into the first major love relationship of my life. It lasted 8 years and was instrumental in my formative years of discovering and learning about love and the relating principal. At the end of September 2022, though no longer in that relationship, the person with whom I was deeply in love with back in 1982/83 died suddenly and unexpectedly. It was very symbolic of a final death knell to that era of life as I embark on something new right now. It’s time to rediscover the further meaning of what kind of love I want in my environment as this point transits my Libra Ascendant at the age of 63. It will be interesting to see what unfolds in the next 8 years. This is not just a one-off type of event and then goodbye. It is a tectonic shift that will evolve over the course of several years but now is the time when you will start to see the events manifesting in physical form. Observe what and who is dying, and the rebirth of new love and joy being created in your life right now and in the coming year, and how you grow to accept, value and embrace it. An eclipse at 29°Aries on April 20, 2023 will stimulate this point once again. If you do not have any planets at 0° fixed, 29° Cardinal then look at the house in the natal chart in which those degrees are placed for the areas of life that are being highlighted. For more information on the powerful Venus Star Point I recommend reading Arielle Guttman’s wonderful book VENUS STAR RISING. It explains everything in great detail and is extremely well researched and clearly delineated. It is a well-known observation by astrologers that as eclipses approach the news in the world gets juicier. Along with a rise in heightened activity, there is the inevitable death of famous people. Not just ordinary famous people, but more often than not, famous luminaries that have been very prominent in their field. Eclipses honor those that have left indelible legacies, careers and footprints and have built celebrated reputations by having achieved the pinnacle of success. This makes the recent deaths of Queen Elizabeth II and Angela Lansbury more spiritually meaningful and connected to the zeitgeist. Another astrological phenomenon contributing to the magnitude of fame and power of these recent deaths is the upcoming Venus/Sun cazimi at 29° Libra on October 22. The Venus/Sun cazimi occurs at least twice a year, so that in itself is not unusual. This one is extremely significant because it is ending a hundred-year cycle. It’s noteworthy that this is the first to occur in Libra after having been in Scorpio since 1926. These cycles of Venus move backwards in the zodiac similarly to the lunar nodes. This is going to have major ramifications in the world and for individuals with placements at 29° Libra or any of the cardinal signs. More on that in another article.
This Libra conjunction that will now occur every eight years is only one of the arms of the famous star pentagram that Venus forms due to its retrograde motion. Venus retrogrades in 5 different signs that repeat every eight years until each of those individual cycles runs its course after approximately 100 years. The cazimi happens when Venus reaches her superior or inferior conjunction. This particular arm is now shifting from Scorpio to Libra. This is the initial ingress into Libra after being in Scorpio since 1926. It will remain in Libra for over 100 years till 2133 (with one last Scorpio cazimi in 2026). This signifies a major tectonic shift when one era dies and another begins. It is no accident that these two Venusian legends would die at this time. Queen Elizabeth was a Taurus and Angela was a Libra. They represent an archetypal shift of endings and new beginnings. It’s evolutionary because, as stated above, these shifts occur approximately every 100 years. These are long spans of times and the turning point from one era to the next is happening now. What’s even more synchronistic is that Angela Lansbury was born in 1925 and Queen Elizabeth in 1926; both at the time of the Scorpio ingress and they have died within a month of the transition into Libra. Angela Lansbury died on October 11 just 5 days shy of her 97th birthday. What a career, what a life, what a legacy! She was a Queen in the field of entertainment. She died only a month after Queen Elizabeth II of England. They were both royal, one by birth, the other by accomplishment and they both proved themselves up to the task of fulfilling their destiny. It’s a fair comparison because each sat on the throne of power for a very, very long time. Elizabeth II reigned for 70 years and Angela Lansbury had an active career for 80 years. They both died at the ripe old age of 96 and were human institutions. They had a comfortable, grandmotherly nature, obviously from their aged appearance but on a deeper, more substantial level was due to the fact that they have been around ever since most of us were born. As far as the general public is concerned, they were always in the public eye. They were stable, secure and you could count on them. They were the crème de la crème, the tops of the tops and were literally Mother figures to several generations. ANGELA LANSBURY TRANSITS TO NATAL CHART: Birth Info: October 16, 1925, 12:45 am, London Ms. Lansbury died on October 11 just as we entered eclipse season. You would expect one of the following eclipses to hit her chart dynamically. In this case it is the Lunar Eclipse of November 8th at 16° Taurus. It is in her 10th whole sign house making an opposition to Saturn at 14° Scorpio. Saturn is the planet that rules the end of time, the end of life, reaching your limit. Here in the 4th whole sign house it is the “womb to the tomb” and the sign of Scorpio is a literal death or shall we say transition. The Taurus 10th house placement is the celebration of her legacy, accomplishments, achievements and destiny. The transiting south node is at 14°31’ Scorpio in partile conjunction to Saturn. The south node is letting go, releasing and again brings up further Scorpio/4th house symbolism. Transiting Saturn has been crossing back and forth over the ascendant/descendant axis all year, a major point of action in the chart. The 7th house is known as a public one and it is the house that sinks below the horizon in the diurnal motion and thus has a symbolic meaning of descending into the depths of the dark night. Transiting Saturn has also been squaring natal Saturn the past year which must have been hard on her health, or at the very least slowing her down. The upcoming Venus/Sun cazimi at 29° Libra conjuncts Mercury. In mythology Mercury is summoned to shepherd all souls on their final journey home. It is flanked by transiting Mercury just entering Libra, conjunct her Moon and sitting on the world axis, a point of connecting to the world stage in a noteworthy way. Transiting Jupiter tightly opposes the Moon calling her body on a long journey. The 9th/3rd house axis emphasis long journeys of some kind. Death is the ultimate long journey of leaving the body. Dying within days of her birthday ensures that her presence in the news will be guaranteed for a bit longer than usual as we honor her death quickly followed by celebrating her birthday. Transiting Neptune is sitting on her 8th house Uranus. This is a generational transit and I suppose reading it in the context of her 8th house would represent death, and the removal of her presence from the collective. Transiting Pluto has been squaring her Sun (vitality) for a couple of years and is currently tightly squaring Mercury. PROGRESSIONS Her progressed Sun has recently (August 2022) ingressed into Aquarius. Progressions of the Sun into a new sign are always important. This is doubly so because the Sun rules the first house of the physical body, appearance and image. This progression signifies a major evolution of her life force. You could say it is an electrical shock to her spirit as it moves into a brand-new whole sign house (the 7th) and connects with the natal South Node in a partile conjunction. In Hellenistic astrology the 7th house concerns relationships as well as death (because it’s the last house before sinking below the horizon). The south node is a release, a letting go and clearing out in a way similar to the transiting nodes conjunct Saturn. The Progressed Moon at 1° Taurus has just entered the 10th whole sign house of public attention, status, reputation and recognition. It’s interesting to note the transiting Moon also in Taurus on the day of her death. Progressed Mercury conjuncts Jupiter and opposes natal Pluto. She’s born on a Pluto retrograde station, so this progression is emphasizing an already emphasized planet. This combination being triggered indicates a long journey of a spiritual nature involving death. Mercury here acts as Hermes the Psychopomp, guiding souls to their final resting place. On closer examination, using the birth time as given, the Solar Eclipse at 2° Scorpio is conjunct her progressed Ascendant at 3° Scorpio. If we rectify the chart to 12:40 am then the progressed Ascendant is 2°49’ Scorpio, more exact. An eclipse to the progressed ascendant in Scorpio is a readiness, or preparation in some way for death or transformation to the physical body. The progressed Moon is opposite this degree at 1.21 Taurus. The rectified chart also gives us a progressed MC at 14°15’ Leo in partile square to Saturn, another strong indication of adjusting the birth time. In summation, when rectifying the chart just five minutes earlier the progressed Ascendant lines up quite closely to squaring Saturn while the progressed MC lines up exactly with the Solar Eclipse of 10/25/22 the one in which she is exiting physical form. NATAL CHART ANALYSIS: October 16, 1925, 12:45 am, London, England. Whole Sign Houses. Ms. Lansbury was the supreme example of what is called in the entertainment industry the triple threat. She could act, sing and dance. Her career spanned eight professionally active decades and at the time of her death, she was one of the last surviving stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood. She was the recipient of numerous accolades, including six Tony Awards, six Golden Globe Awards, a Laurence Olivier Award, and an honorary Academy Award. She has been nominated for three Academy Awards, eighteen Emmy Awards, and a Grammy Award. She has a Libra stellium involving the Sun, Moon, Mercury and Mar in the third whole sign house. This is the house of communication, local travel, education and siblings. In Hellenistic astrology it is also the house of Goddess and Queen because the Moon has her joy in this house. She is born with a third house Moon, so she benefits greatly by having Luna dignified by house placement. She has two brothers with whom she is very close. One became the producer of her hit series MURDER, SHE WROTE while the other became a successful stage and film producer as well. When they moved to the USA, and she quickly became a successful actress in Hollywood she supported her mother and brothers. Those third house placements make her an excellent communicator and endlessly curious about life. With dispositor Venus in Sagittarius in the 5th she brings those talents to the house of creative self-expression, acting, fun, pleasure and theater. Venus has her joy in the 5th house so she, like the Moon, is dignified by house. The Sagittarius part of the equation finds acting success in a foreign country. Another indication of foreign connections is a Libra stellium in the third (local travel) shooting out energy into the Aries 9th house of foreign countries and travel. A Leo ascendant is perfect for an actor because they enjoy being in the limelight. It emphasizes the third house Sun making it even stronger because Leo is the ascendant ruler. She really wants to shine her star power through the Libra third house placements carried into the 5th via Venus. Though the Sun is in fall, it is somewhat mitigated by having its dispositor Venus powerfully placed in the 5th. Neptune is tightly conjunct a Leo Ascendant. This bestows the ability to adapt her personality and appearance like a chameleon. She has a natural ability to play many varied and different characters. Having Neptune rising is great for helping to get lost into other worlds, particularly the imagination. She is quoted as saying, “I became a self-professed complete movie maniac, visiting the cinema regularly and imagining myself as certain characters.” Neptune has a close affiliation with movies and glamour. It also makes her blind to certain things. For instance, she married first husband Richard Cromwell in 1945. He was 16 years her senior. She didn’t realize at the time that he was gay. They divorced in 1946. She’s also born on a New Moon which gives the native the ability to make new starts and beginnings. It supplies a very action-oriented flavor to the Libran ability to partner, appreciate beauty and communicate with others. I have always found new moon babies to be dynamic and full of lots of energy and curious to get things started. It adds an extra dose of cardinality to an already cardinal stellium. Katharine Hepburn is another example of an actor born on a new moon. Mars in the third co-present with the other planets suggests an ability to be an iron fist in the velvet glove when she must fight or assert herself especially when communicating with others. She’s not retiring or shy. I imagine she’s an excellent debater. Mars is in debility so she may have a hard time asserting herself without a long hard deliberation in her own mind about what she wants to say and how to say it fairly. She can lose spur of the moment action because of too much deliberation when Mars would prefer to just jump right in. Mars is the focal planet of a cardinal t-square involving Pluto and Jupiter. Mars/Pluto combinations can be ruthless but Jupiter would soften it to be more about asserting her will through awareness of the other. A Scorpio Saturn in the 4th house has her experience the early death of her father in 1934 when she was 9. Shortly after the grandfather died, the blitz came to London and Angela’s mother move herself and her children to the United States. The Saturn forces an early sense of responsibility and maturity having to deal with challenging fourth house matters such as deaths of paternal figures, loss of money and moving away from one’s homeland to a foreign country. She became the breadwinner of her family at a very young age. A Taurus MC puts ruler Venus in the house of its joy. The career is focused on acting, creativity, the arts, pleasure, joy, fun and being childlike. There is a reason it’s called the house of good fortune and it’s where Venus rejoices. It’s very important to note that Venus is the benefic of sect so she is strengthened and has even further power. Mars is the malefic of sect so it helps mitigate some of his more negative Libra traits. She is born on the retrograde station of Pluto so this planet in her 12th house has greater influence than one might think at first glance. Being born on a station gives that planet extra emphasis and power and with Pluto that can be nuclear. She connects on a very deep level to the collective unconscious. Though she has all the charm and sweetness indicative of the Sun, Moon, Mercury and Mars in Libra, underneath she is a woman of great regenerative power and passion. She rebirthed her career three times in film, stage and television and achieved amazing influence, stature and money in all. The saving grace in keeping that Pluto tipped on the right side of power is the tight opposition of Jupiter which provides luck, grace, awareness, understanding, meaning, and support especially through her 6th house work. Jupiter brings out Pluto’s more positive attributes of passion, influence, persuasion, trust, regenerative abilities and the light-oriented aspects of power to do great good for the collective rather than great harm. FURTHER BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION She moved to the United States from England in 1940 with her mother, Irish actress Moyna Macgill, and two brothers to study acting in New York. She proceeded to Hollywood and was quickly signed to a contract at MGM where George Cukor shrewdly cast the 17-year-old as the scene stealing, conniving cockney maid in GASLIGHT starring Ingrid Bergman and Charles Boyer. She was nominated for a best supporting actress Oscar. She followed this up the next year with another nomination for her heartbreaking performance in THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY. With two nominations in quick succession for two completely diverse characters she was proving her talent. What followed for the next 7 years at MGM were a series of supporting roles in varying degrees of quality. She did get to use her musical talents in films like THE HARVEY GIRLS (although her singing was dubbed) where she tortured poor Judy Garland and TIL THE CLOUDS ROLL BY where she sang in her own voice. She played Elizabeth Taylor’s older sister in NATIONAL VELVET. She had glamorous roles in THE THREE MUSKETEERS and Cecil B. DeMille’s epic SAMSON AND DELILAH but by the early 1950s Hollywood lost interest because they couldn’t figure out what to do with her. She was always playing older than her age, sometimes by more than 20 years. From the very beginning there was always a maturity about her, and while beautiful, was not the classic glamour queen. She was primarily a character actress. In the 1950s she continued working in film, if unremarkably, did some television and stage work. She also became a mother having married Peter Shaw in 1947, a marriage that lasted 54 years. Her film career picked up in the early 1960s with wonderful performances in films of quality such as ALL FALL DOWN, THE DARK AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS and THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE. In the latter she memorably portrayed one of the most malevolent mothers ever to appear on screen. She received her third Oscar nomination. Good supporting roles continued in films throughout the 1960s. Then something quite miraculous happened. Through a series of synchronistic and well-timed circumstances she somehow, amidst lots of competition, was cast in the musical MAME with music and lyrics by Jerry Herman and based upon Patrick Dennis book Auntie Mame. It already had two previous incarnations as a very successful straight play and film. It was a smash hit on Broadway, and she was the toast of the town for two years receiving her first Tony Award. This role transformed her into a glamorous and vibrant musical comedy star which is something she had always dreamed of becoming. This newfound success gave her a second career as a great star actress of Broadway with successes in the coming decades such as DEAR WORLD. GYPSY, SWEENEY TODD and many others. She also had great success as a Disney musical star in BEDKNOBS AND BROOMSTICKS and BEAUTY AND THE BEAST. The third major career transformation occurred when she signed for the television series MURDER SHE WROTE in 1983 and the rest is history. It ran for 12 years and garnered a slew of Emmy nominations. It is perhaps the one thing for which she is most famous, having been responsible in making her even more popular and successful than ever. Greater power came her way and its huge success exposed her to a new generation, enhanced her reputation with the older generation, and gave her wider audience recognition, something that the stage and film could never do in such a massive way. It also earned her a fortune and she used this success to catapult herself into many other projects until the day she died. She is that rare performer that never stopped growing and became more popular and active as she aged. Thank you for being a Queen and a Goddess! Saturday, October 8. “Fasten Your Seatbelts it's Going to be a Bumpy Night” is a famous line delivered with gusto by the inimitable Bette Davis from the 1950 classic film ALL ABOUT EVE. It’s an apt quote for the upcoming astrology as this weekend’s Full Moon at 17° Aries ushers in the eclipse season along with today’s massively important direct station of Pluto at 26°06’ of Capricorn. The Full Moon is ruled by Mars in Gemini slowing down getting ready for a very long retrograde through January 12 and the upcoming Solar Eclipse at 2° Scorpio is also ruled by Mars thereby doubly emphasizes the warrior planet’s current and future influence over the next six months. Many of us are already aware to some extent of the quagmire that will absorb us through the rest of the year into early 2023.
The Pluto station this weekend, emotionally heightened by an Aries Full Moon, unleashes intense energy from the underworld. Passion and Power are key words. The sword of power can swing two ways. There’s an eruptive quality to the weekend as important matters, both good and bad, come to light. You may be dealing with issues surrounding compulsions, addictions, obsessions, manipulations, money, control, triangularized relationships and trust. The blessing of this full moon is that Jupiter and Venus play major roles by lending their benefic touch to what comes to light. This is a gateway full moon so Jupiter/Venus can offer meaning, explanations, love and compassion to understand the forces at work that will dominate the weekend. Enjoy any fun and good news the weekend brings because things will only heat up as the month progresses. The looming intensity of the next six months may be a different matter altogether. Plutonian power forges evolutionary change but it can be used appropriately and inappropriately, consciously and unconsciously and we often don’t have much control over how things play out, although sometimes we do. The complex combination of the power dynamics makes a difference in the degree of intensity in how these evolutionary changes are experienced. We all are about to gain consciousness on our karmic patterns as they’re brought to the surface. Certain underlying habitual patterns can be changed and altered, others we learn to accept and live with, while still others will be ripped apart from us in ways beyond our control. The level of pain and suffering when Pluto is involved is extremely dependent on how each individual deals with deep rooted issues of death, transformation, destruction and eventual rebirth that comes after a period of annihilation. I know these are extreme words but we are living in extreme and polarizing times and Pluto in its current position in the zodiac and in the natal chart of the USA is about to separate the men from the boys and the wheat from the chaff, so to speak. People, places, things, concepts, ideas, countries, institutions, structures and almost anything else that forms the basis of our material world is being uprooted, purged and reshaped. The dark and often frightening underworld of our psychological complexes as well as the physical and material underworld of our life structures are being rocked in evolutionary ways that will change things forever in the upcoming months and years. Pluto is at the last degrees of Capricorn before entering a brand new sign, Aquarius, on March 23, 2023. The energetic difference between Capricorn and Aquarius is like being caught between two worlds; the future of the living and the past of the dead. The questions being asked are what of the past will remain and in what form vs. what will die and be annihilated. Will you have the power and will to survive the continued evolutionary onslaught? Pluto leaving Capricorn signals a final blow of death and destruction of those structures and institutions that no longer can stand the test of time. This is true in our personal lives as well as on the world stage. The shift of energy is reminiscent of the Titanic on her last voyage. The seemingly invincible institutions and structures that have been the bedrock of our world and have been upheld for hundreds and hundreds of years continue to be questioned as many sink into the dark, deep ocean after having been hit by an iceberg. Not all of them, just those that are rotting and decaying from the inside out and can no longer survive in their current form. Mars retrograde demands re-thinking things and taking action by returning and reviewing the past to collect more information and facts about what needs to stay and what needs to go. We must re-think action before steering on a new course in 2023. Mars is digging deep into the depths of our unconscious. Mars rejoices in the 6th house for that is a place of servitude, hard work and effort. In Hellenistic astrology it is the house of bad fortune. In the diurnal motion it is the first house to sink below the Earth’s surface. It has to excavate with the diligence of a ditch digger into the muck and mire and do the dirty work necessary before it can get to the gold that lies deeply beneath mother earth’s surface in the 5th house of good fortune. It takes courage and bravery to go into the depths of the earth. Many a hero in ancient mythology takes a journey into the underworld to fight dragons and demons in order to return to the light wiser, greater and stronger. Descending into the depths is dark, dank, without light and it is where undesirable things are banished, buried and hidden. It takes a God like Mars to have the guts to face the unforeseen monsters both real and imaginary and slay the demons and return rebirthed and glorified after winning the battle. The USA is experiencing its Pluto return from 2021 through 2023 along with its ingress into Aquarius the sign of politics, democracy, technology and freedom. A Pluto return occurs approximately every 248 years. In 1776 we had the birth of our nation after the Revolutionary War. On the Pluto return we are being rebirthed. For the last decade while Pluto has been in Capricorn reaping the USA has been reaping its karma of the past 248 years. Everything bubbling up in a volcanic eruption since 2008 has revealed the ramifications of the most unsavory actions from our past. It’s time to become mature about that which we have buried and left unprocessed Staring the bogey man in the face is never easy. Read the headlines. We can see there are gravely deep powers at force spewing to the surface forging tectonic shifts. Let’s see just what form the revolution takes. Let’s see what Pluto destroys when it ingresses into Aquarius before it heals and rebirths. For two and half years Saturn has shown us the cracks in the sign of Aquarius. Pluto will be the final death knell, flushing and evacuation of our Capricorn institutions before an eventual regenerative healing into the future Aquarian new age. We have seen the amazing light into the future with incredible technological advances but along with that we have to deal with the misuse and abuse of power. Pluto entering Aquarius in its initial stages over the next few years will be a further analysis and destruction of technology, political principals and continued global humanitarian crises. Eventually there will be a reconstruction when a new template is created as the phoenix eventually rise from the ashes. |
