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.
Uranus (the unexpected, enlightened, media), modern ruler of Aquarius, resides in the house of networking. I feel the press will play both positive and negative roles in exploiting current situations and exposing what is going on behind the scenes. It is in a hard aspect to Venus in the 12 house of secrets.
Venus rules money as well as love. It positively aspects the afore mentioned planets in Aquarius in our income sector. There may be some discreet help from a hidden benefactor. However the media may steer us toward a false ally who is actually a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Uranus is trine (happy, happy, joy, joy) the South Node (our undoing) in the house of partners but also open enemies. Do to our dire circumstances we are vulnerable to someone who may appear to be extremely helpful, a rescuer of sorts, but is actually out to undermine us.
The silver lining in all this doom and gloom (Not my natural nature as an astrologer!) will be Mercury conjunct (next to) the North Node (true fate and destiny) in Capricorn. Because Mercury is poised to go retrograde, we might look at how we survived recessions and depressions in the past as a way to manage future challenges. The nodes work on approximately 19 year cycles. What we implement now can greatly impact the next 2 decades!
Factor in the USA, Gemini Rising Chart
USA Pluto falls in late Capricorn next to our financial house (again!) reinforcing total transformation of the economy brought on by extreme circumstances. USA Moon falls right in with the stellium (group of planets) in Aquarius doubling the Lunar impact. Family values and religion/Spirituality will be hot topics. Highlighting that is USA Chiron in the sector of family and homes. It also continues the theme of an open wound around the real estate market.
USA Uranus and Mars in the health and work sector, keeps unemployment and healthcare in the news but more as a side show rather than a main event.
The stellium of USA Sun, Venus, and Jupiter along with USA Mercury conjunct W.S. South Node in Cancer, ruling our partnership sector, emphasizes my above scenario about attracting a false friend. I refer to the old cliché if something (someone) appears too good to be true, it probably is!
Interestingly USA Neptune falls in the zone of foreign affairs, legalities, Spirituality, higher education, and publishing, directly opposite W.S. Uranus. Expect the unexpected from the media, media companies, and transportation corporations as they relate to the above. It also strengthens the denial issues or putting a ‘spin’ on current affairs.
USA Saturn sits up in our career and public eye sector repeating the theme of prudence and perseverance. We are headed for our Saturn return ~ grow up time, coming of age (again)! It speaks to me that if we put forth the effort and meet our challenges head on, we will be rewarded on down the road The key is to deal effectively with our present circumstances while keeping an eye toward the future!
Peace, prosperity, and Merry Christmas!
