Jupiter entered Aquarius on December 20th last year, in his once every 12-year visitation … He worked through that sign fast, bringing a speedy, much needed scientific triumph in vaccination development and research and recognition of the humanitarian universality of the need for cooperation in this issue (all Aquarius values). He then temporarily entered Pisces on May 14th where he stays till the 28th of this month, and then he returns to Aquarius till December 29th, 2021, to complete his welcome goals there. From Pisces, positively, he has really underlined the focus on the value of our environment and love of nature and the urgency to wake up big time, to the need for protection of and the beauty of nature (all Pisces values) … and a strong focus on sea health (Neptune, God of the sea and Pisces ruler) has also been much emphasized.
He has also brought a
longing to get back the power of the arts and music into our lives, another
Pisces focus a need for the soul to be fed. Negatively the power of Pisces has underlined
the spread of conspiracy theories re mind control and dangers via vaccination,
Pisces is a sign, that in extremis, is vulnerable to fantasy and some paranoia…
and can bring confusion too about direction of travel re Covid control.
The power of the
continued conflict between need for freedom versus the ongoing need for caution
re Covid, still hovers, as Saturn (restriction) still challenges Uranus
(freedom) by rare square aspect in the heavens. This totally eases next year.
On the 3rd
and 4th, there is a rebellious unpredictable feeling in the air,
both individually and globally, when Mars squares Uranus. Economic shocks and
poor judgment are a possibility then too. Accident proneness and impulsiveness
generally can be an issue. Indeed, it will be wise for us all, not least
politicians/leaders, to stop and think before action, notably If Leo or Taurus,
born between the 4th and 8th of May or August.
Mars in Leo till the
29th underlines the collective urge this month to live life more to
the full, to chase the Sun via holidays and to express social creativity and
feel the life force …hard to repress, even if needed… especially for Leos. Around the 13th sees a particular
high passion in many, re enjoyment of life, not least in love life, and in the arts,
when Venus conjoins with Mars.
Jo Biden has a few challenges this month, conflicts and
blocks loom large around the 1st, the 16th and 26th.
Strong egos are likely to frustrate him, at all costs, on principle, rather
than logic. Also, Pluto is opposing his
Jupiter all month and the 1st half of next month. He will therefore be in real
determined mode in order to achieve his goals. which, in turn will attract a
strong ruthless desire by others to sabotage his actions.
Boris Johnson has a
very careless and a strong sleight of hand orientation around the 6th
and 7th when Mars squares up both his Jupiter and Neptune. The used
car salesman in him will be dominating. Having Saturn's ongoing, every 30-year
conjunction to his Part of Fortune point, has not helped his position in terms
of good judgment.
Days of frustration
and reality checks, generally for us all, are around the 1st/2nd
and the 7th when Saturn forces us to slow down and get real, without
anger, both in our personal and collective lives.
The 17th/18th
brings a once-a-year Sun opposition to Pluto.
The quite explosive power of determination and confrontation is
significantly in the air then. Power struggles no less, and the 25th,
also has the flavour of a real ideological power struggle, when Mercury opposes
Pluto. Ruthless arguments will dominate
the ether. Trying to change others’ views will then be futile.
Pluto can bring obsession and potential abuse of power, from
self or others when in challenging mode. His ongoing journey through Capricorn (2008-2025),
which rules the established economic order, has undoubtedly brought abuse of
power re neo liberal capitalist philosophy, including massively increasing
financial inequalities, tax evasions and a rise in power of monopolies and
corporations etc… If you combine that
with Uranus (unpredictability /change /innovation/risk and technology) now in Taurus,
since March 2019 till April 2026, a sign about money and values, (happens every
84 years), this points also to an ongoing revolution in the way we do money.
Cashless society is becoming the prevailing mode of
financial transaction and Uranus, being the ruler of technology, has also seen
the significant rise of crypto currency, with all its unpredictability and
ephemeral qualities. However, because Uranus
also rules shock, and unpredictable danger, we have also seen a whole global
economic crisis because of the shock of the epidemic and a huge loss of income
for so many, whilst indeed others have thrived.
We are all in the same storm, but certainly not all in the
same boat.
Also, with the
massive power of technology and its increasing unpredictable uses and abuses,
not least re money, there has been an underreported huge rise of serious online
and phone financial scams, which many have been vulnerable to, and authorities
seem to have little ability, or maybe the will, to prevent this.
We must remember that Neptune ongoing in Pisces now, has a
downside of confusion, deception, and smoke and mirrors, which can make many
vulnerable.
We live increasingly in a technocracy., especially with the
power of the sign of Aquarius which is so powerful re technology and Uranus
(which rules Aquarius), now so strong. This power can be used for amazing
progress for the greater good, or indeed otherwise.
The energy of every
planet has its downside and how we choose to use the powers of our planets (and
our signs) are a matter of a mixture of personal choice, morality, wisdom, ideology
and the prevailing value system of our society’s influences on us. That is the human condition. As humans we
have this struggle, but never more has the choice of our use of power, either
for the greater good, or for personal gain, been more vital and indeed existential,
as for the first time in human history, the survival of the entire planet, or not,
can depend on those choices.
Astrology has an
implicit morality, as it reveals the choices we have and indeed importantly,
the resultant karmic lessons we need to learn as a result of how we
individually and collectively choose to express the power potential implicit in
our charts.
The outer planets
particularly, which are generational in influence, as they stay for years in
each sign, test the collective motives and morality of prevailing global values
and direction of travel at any given period.
To be unusually positive,
the days of potential breakthrough and inspiration are the 5th 12th,
15th and 20th, when wisdom, insight, inspiration and
positivity can dominate the energies.
The Moon is new on
the 10th at 18 degrees of Cancer and Full on the 24th at
1 degree of Aquarius.
