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.
