~ Special Guest Stars: The Full Moon (June 18), Mercury Retrograde station Direct (June 19), and Uranus Station!!!!
Ok! I did the Summer Solstice (S.S.) chart as a solar chart using 0 degree house cusps. The 1st house 0 degrees Cancer, the second house 0 degrees Leo, and so forth. My focus was on us as a nation and what we can expect over the next 3 months. I did a few comparisons with the USA, Gemini rising chart and factored in the above ‘Guest Stars’ ~ all major planetary events happening this week that will surely have an effect on this Summer Solstice.
Major Players, Act I
Sun on the Ascendant, fresh out of the 12th house, coming off an opposition to the Moon.
The Moon, the chart ruler, transitions over the Descendant from Sagittarius to Capricorn, conjuncting Pluto on the Descent, also in opposition to the Sun! ~ Powerful stuff!
Could this mean hidden things coming into the light and triggering an explosive response from our open enemies? A culmination of past undoings blowing up in our face? OR a chance to right some wrongs in a radical and different way that involve our nation as a whole?
Venus conjuct the Sun, certainly softens the blow and gives us a diplomatic edge. It provides a sense of optimism. Combine this with the conjunction to the USA Venus/Jupiter conjunction, in sextile to S.S. Saturn in Virgo falling in the third house. We can derive some practical enthusiasm from listening to the Presidential hopefuls talk about creating us a brighter future. The USA Venus, Jupiter, Sun, Mercury stellium in S.S. 1st, certainly gives us something to look forward to!
USA Mercury, in opposition to S.S. Jupiter, and trine S.S. Uranus, heightens the expectation of this election. Our country is craving some major and much needed change! For the first time we have the possibility of a black or female President who can really make a difference at a crucial time. The quincunx of USA Mercury to S.S. Neptune and semi-sextile S.S. Mars, reminds us that all cannot be fixed by waving a magic wand.
Which brings us to:
Major Players, Act II
Mars conjunct the South Node in the second, opposite Neptune conjunct the North Node in the eighth, tying in a conjunction with the USA Moon! Does anything better describe our rising fuel costs and our dependency on foreign oil????????!!!!!!!! How our need for speed and perhaps careless ways are costing us a fortune and have become our own undoing? Not only is this opposition tight, it falls exactly on the upcoming Lunar Eclipse degree, 24 Aquarius, on Aug. 16th! Being as we are 2 months away, we’re a little bit out of the shadow period for it’s influence to affect us now. However, come August we’ll see if we’ve made any progress with cleaning up our act. It should definitely serve as a warning. The USA North Node falls in the S.S. second and will be with in 3 degrees of the Solar Eclipse, Aug. 1st. I give a larger window to Solar Eclipses which puts the USA North Node already in the shadow. I believe this could have a positive affect of pushing us in the right direction. It’s semi-sextile to S.S. Saturn in Virgo is already evidenced in the abundance of commercials geared towards ‘going Green’. We know astrology works. Let’s try to use it to our benefit.
