Astrologers note: I use a solar chart beginning with 0 degrees of the Sun Sign on the Ascendant. I then use equal house cusps, following with the next sign ~ 2nd House, 0 Scorpio, and so forth.
I do the Solstice and Equinox charts from a mundane, public perspective. But you can also apply it personally. I like to look at how the chart might affect our nation over the next 3 months until the Winter Solstice.
As of September 22, the Sun will enter Libra at 0 degrees which marks the beginning of the Autumnal Equinox. Libra is the sign of partnership. Because it’s in the house of Self we must partner internally. I see no foreign aid in this chart. It’s completely up to ourselves to use our creativity, ingenuity and optimism to work through what confronts us.
As the Sun enters Libra it comes into an exact, really hard aspect to Pluto ~ planet of annihilation, destruction, and re-building from ashes. Because Pluto falls right on the 4th house cusp of home, family, and real estate we can expect to see some marked changes in these areas! It also marks a very personal transformation that comes from complete letting go and restructuring through our own power and determination! The North Node (destiny) falls in the same sign and house putting fate on our side!
Mars in the very public 10th house shows our pride and purpose to the whole world. This is especially true when it comes to health care reform. One of the strongest configurations is Mercury retrograde, exactly conjunct (next to) Saturn, directly opposite Uranus retrograde in the 6th house of health. Uranus trines (great energy) Mars. Expect the unexpected for sure! But with 2 planets retrograde there will be remnants from the past or repeating old mistakes. The Saturn/Mercury conjunction falls in the sign of Virgo which lends itself to alternative healthcare. Combine that with the opposition to unconventional Uranus and you may finally see some inroading in that area. Holistic medicine and the like may finally be given the credibility it deserves and may be seen as a viable option!Saturn/Mercury in the 12th house of hidden enemies could spell strong opposition from the conservatives behind the scenes. Venus in the 12th lends we might also receive some help or financing from secret sources.
The Moon representing our country in the 2nd house of finances in the sign of Scorpio reinforces the secrecy of certain objectives. It also speaks of making wise investments. Because it trines Mars and Uranus ~ effectively creating a Grand Trine (which is grand!) ~ I think at least some part of a health care objective will be financed and brought to fruition. However, with the South Node (self undoing) in the same sign & house as Mars, it might ultimately be to our detriment.

Lets celebrate the potential of the next three months until the Winter Solstice. This will be an eventful period with a much anticipated election occuring during this time. So these are my predictions. Although I choose to look at things politically, you can still apply the basics to your personal life.
Astrologers note: All technical astrology terms will appear in brackets. For those who haven’t a clue, just proceed with the regular text.
(I use a solar chart with zero degree house cusps. 0 degrees Libra on the Ascendant, 0 degrees Scorpio on the 2nd, and so forth.)
(Sun on Ascendant in Libra square Moon in Cancer on Mid Heaven)
How we see ourselves ~ tactful, charming, and diplomatic; trying to find balance between two very divided political parties; dependent on others; and geared towards compromise ~ conflicts with our public persona. The world at large sees us a “united” country that is very nuturing and protective of itself and perhaps using the metaphor of Cancer/The Crab, impervious of what others think.
(The Sun in an out-of-sign square to Pluto in Sagittarius) We have a serious conflict overseas that is not going to be easily negotiated. The positive spin given by those in power is hard for us to swallow.
(The Moon is opposite the Pluto/Jupiter mid-point forming a T-square of sorts with the Sun) We are looking to our foreign allies to help us which is in opposition to our on best interests. (Jupiter in the 4th) We need to rely on ourselves which is going to get more difficult as a major recession is upon us. (Wait until Pluto moves into Capricorn!) Outsourcing is defeating our own purpose as a nation that needs to come together now!!
(Venus in Libra in the first house but close to the second house cusp) We could be feeling positive and optimistic during this time frame, especially about our financial picture. (Venus is exactly sextile to Pluto, modern ruler of 2nd house, Scorpio) We are ready to embrace radical “change” now and transform our spending habilts! ( Saturn in the 12th house, trine Jupiter in the 4th) There’s a quiet stirring of downsizing going on all around us as people accept the need to make economical sacrafices. We’re keeping the faith that hard work will pay off and our basic needs will be met. This enables us to be practical and responsible.
There is also the push behind the scenes towards alternative medicine as a remedy to our current healthcare situation. And we’re discipling ourselves in regards to the environment.
(Mars conjunct Mercury in Libra, 1st house) We’re passionate about banding together, speaking out, and unifying our nation, but also reaching out to others to help us solve our inner conflicts and national crisis. (Mars & Mercury trine Neptune and loosely the North Node/Chiron conjunction in Aquarius) It looks like there may be some relief or at least an impasse to the gas/oil issue.
In addition, we’re working to heal our collective wounds, mainly by re-opening them. This election is a good example as we bridge racial and gender gaps. (The Aquarius stellium in the 5th house) We can reach out through our youth to help spread the message of equality. Perhaps by using creative means?
