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 Aquarius and so forth.

I do the Solstice and Equinox charts from a mundane perspective. I like to look at how the chart might affect our nation over the next 3 months until the Spring Equinox. You can also apply the info personally.

On December the 21, the Sun will enter Capricorn at 0 degrees which marks the beginning of the Winter Solstice. At that point and over the next few days, the Sun will snuggle (conjunct) up with Pluto which entered Capricorn in November of 2008. Pluto is all about total transformation ~ destruction and resurrection! Capricorn represents Corporate America, Conservatism, and Capital. Upon Pluto’s entry into Capricorn we saw the downturn in the economy and the devastation of major corporations.

Not only are the Sun and Pluto together in the Winter Solstice chart, they are on the Ascendant! (Starting point/ruler of chart). I think this is when the ‘shit hits the fan’! Some have predicted that President O’Bama will face a crisis equivalent to 9/11/2001 very early into his administration and this could be it. What better time for a terrorist attack but on a Christian holiday?

In any case, the next 3 months will be about total change brought about by something equal to a major catastrophe. And that cataclysm may very well involve our country’s resources.

Chiron (wounds that need healing), Neptune (escapism), Jupiter (abundance, party on…) and the Moon (feelings, nurturing, real estate, home and family), are all tight (conjunct) in our private financial sector ruled by Aquarius (the unusual, unconventional, and unexpected). In lay mans terms I would say the economy is lot worse than we would like to believe and collectively there’s a large measure of denial and false hope. Neptune also rules gas and oil so look for gases prices to go up where they have remained pretty steady.

These planets fall directly opposite retrograde Mars (aggression, ambition, war) in the area of investments and collective resources. I feel a lot more money will be spent on the conflict overseas, continuing to deplete our own economy. We may also stir up opposition from those investing in our financial system. Mars is ruler of the real estate area so look for fallout from the foreclosure market to impact our finances too.

Saturn, the traditional ruler of Aquarius, sits in the very public 10th house. We will look to collectively rebuild and restructure through hard work and determination. Possibly working more for less money. Inflation is a very real possibility. Unfortunately Saturn is in a hard aspect to Sun/Pluto, making us face the hard core reality of our present circumstances.
