It’s not an easy month July, no surprises there, considering
the world situation.
Jupiter in Aries
since May this year till mid-May next year is making for a determinism, and a
confidently rebellious, competitive, angry and assertive mood on the planet, for
good or ill.
Uranus (shock, change disruption and wake up calls)
currently careering through Taurus, (money/values and mother earth) for the
long haul (March 2019 -May 2026) is certainly ensuring crisis vis a vis money,
it’s worth and divisive demands re pay and cost of living issues. It is also
obviously creating intensifying climate change shocks, as its effect speeds up
more unpredictably quickly than anticipated.
Mars, (God of war) moves away from Aries and joins Uranus in
Taurus (cash /security and mother earth herself) on the 5th of July,
staying there till the August 20th… which will put the emphasis even more on
the global economy and its challenges, as opposed to just global territorial ambitions.
Mars in Taurus is very stubborn and rather immoveable in
attitude on all sides. Alongside that, issues around farming/fruits of the
earth and its current challenges, and not least re the global grain shortages
caused by the ugly war, will erupt considerably. The plight of the earth and
climate change effects will become increasingly desperate.
The issue of Russian global goals, versus the Western view
of the international status quo and the increasing global gap between the very
wealthy and the poor are all more in our face. Mars in Taurus (money/values) will
also underline increasing anger and determined unrest (Mars) re financial
hardships felt in the general populace, as a result of the fallout of the war
and inequitable governmental fiscal policies. Strikes already being the obvious
and desperate manifestation.
Relating to the war,
Putin has Scorpio rising, when born, and from the 10th when Mars in
Taurus, starts to oppose his ascendant, he will be in a position of very angry
defensiveness against the threats he feels from the reactions of his
challengers.
It will not be a
pretty response and indeed around the 22nd when Mars opposes his
Venus, there will be at the least, very powerful exchanges.
Russia is an Aquarian country, and with Saturn (karmic
schoolteacher) moving through that sign till March 8th , next year, the lessons learned for that country will be
tough indeed… and any gain achieved, will be through infinitely more tough
times than ever anticipated by the powers behind the decision to invade
Ukraine.
Economic crashes are very likely in the coming few years, as
the path of our rampantly accelerating capitalist model over the last 15 years
or so, since Pluto started his march through Capricorn, is now becoming
unsustainable. Only 2 certainties in life, one being change of course.
Extremes of stances are indeed becoming very apparent globally.
Extreme right-wing ideologies are growing in many ways with the responding
increasingly binary views, which threaten to become a basis for huge division,
almost a sense of civil war. The new Roe v Wade ruling in the States re
abortion, exemplifies this … a major legacy of Trump’s power of course.
The UK (Capricorn
country) is certainly becoming very divided politically, not least because of
Brexit, with Scotland looking for an independence referendum, effectively
wanting to jumping ship, as they see clearly the increasing challenges of the
Brexit fallout and Johnson’s policy ambitions. In the USA (Cancer country), the
new abortion laws and indeed the gun laws are now really dividing the country,
as many states choose very different paths and outlooks. … One wonders if such
a large country as the USA, wont indeed starts to divide into smaller countries,
not just states, as their differing laws and views become overwhelming, and a
united constitution becomes untenable.
Certainly, with Pluto
in his last throws (the last few degrees) of moving through Capricorn since 2008,
impacting both America and the UK most powerfully, will bring very
significant constitutional crisis and change over the coming few years for both
countries. This seems inevitable.
Pluto always tests for abuse of power relating to what the
sign he is moving through, represents. Capricorn rules the power of the
established system, the socio/political and socio/economic status quo. What has
dominated powerfully since Pluto’s entrance into Capricorn in 2008, is the
extreme neo liberal capitalism model, which has increased rapidly, and which
has seen, as the downside, the growth of monetary greed and indeed often
corruption and growing inequality. The resulting nemesis of any abuse of a system,
which brings rebellion and unrest, also brings a last-minute desire by many
powers that be, to return to limiting, or tampering with the populace’s voting power
and freedoms, in order to preserve an outworn and threatened political system,
whether it be economically, or power based, which they have vested interest in
maintaining.
Indeed, there can also be by some, a desire to move back to
a more morally/religious driven stance, that also defies freedom of choice.
In other words, the
status quo of the preceding years of Capricorn economic power and any abuse of
it , is cumulatively objected to and there is a final fight to change it. The
resulting battle to protect the power and status quo of those who have
benefitted from abuse of power, with those who seek to overturn that power and
seek a different value system, is colossal.
The chasm building
between conflicting principles and values has become so vast, that resolution
and compromise seem now impossible… Even the drive for global efforts to limit
climate change versus big business/political interests continue, even if in a
somewhat cloaked way.
Neptune currently in its own sign of Pisces (2012-early 2026)
has two manifestations, either making many people very positively idealistic,
creative, sensitive, spiritually and selflessly compassionate, or also it can
negatively, bring illusion, deception, delusional ideals of grandeur and a
desire for heroism for some in power. If motive is indeed only for ego glory
alone, however, it will backfire, but often, only after much damage is done.
Boris Johnson is
clearly increasingly paying a price for his desire for personal heroism, his
untruths, vanity projects and power to do as he wishes, at all costs, and as
with most (usually damaged) people with narcissistic tendences, there is no
scrutiny by themselves of their real motives, or more to the point, they dare
not look at them.
Real objective
moral/political ideologies are cast aside, by narcissistic type leaders on the
altar of an often desperate but unconscious ideology of just personal ego,
power and gain, and it seems there is no acceptance of culpability, or even
defeat, even when it is staring them in the face.
On the 4th Boris has Mars opposing his Moon.
Challenges to his position will be most powerful and likely then.
On the 28th he has Mars opposing his Neptune and
conjunct his Jupiter, a period when the used car salesman in him is at its most
strong.
What is certain re Johnson,
is that at the least, at the end of this year and early next year, his life and
position will become very different, as Uranus works his once every 84-year
revolutionary and unpredictable energy for life change, in his chart.
Globally, days of rather stressful power struggles and
geophysical or geopolitical crises are around the 2nd when Mars
squares up to Pluto, and again around the 20th when the Sun opposes
Pluto.
Smoke and mirrors and confusion is strong for us all, around
the 3rd when Mercury squares Neptune, and around the 14th when Venus
squares Neptune. All that is said or seen around those dates, cannot
necessarily be trusted or true.
The very end of the
month and maybe manifesting around the 1st of August, sees Mars
conjunct Uranus, a very chaotic, unpredictable, potentially dangerous and
somewhat anarchic time, with danger of earthquake, literally and metaphorically.
Risk taking is strongly underlined… globally and individually.
The Full Moon is on
the 13th at 21 degrees of Capricorn and the New Moon is on the 28th
at 5 degrees of Leo.
The full Moon brings
things to a head and often causes eruptions and a closing of chapters. The new
Moon, by contrast, correlates with new and positive starts.
