Jupiter now established in Leo is bringing extra pride;
confidence and a rather ego-centric approach to nations who want to prove their
might or their worth, notably in the Middle East. A bit of peacock arrogance is
in the air, with much posturing, especially as Leo is the Sun sign of the
month. Mercury too is in that sign until the 15th and dogma
prevails, as does a “divine right of kings” in attitude
Also, adding to this intensity is Mars, who moved into
Scorpio late last month (another fixed sign like Leo; very intractable), and
also importantly, Mars, for the first week is in square alignment to the Sun,
Mercury and Jupiter. All this combined and we have a global seriously difficult
time, in terms of potential significant abuse of power and wanton aggression.
Mars in Scorpio is one of the most powerful planetary
positions. It is ruthless, intense, dogged, obsessive, whether for great good
or the opposite (only too often). It takes no prisoners and when squaring the
Sun, the willingness to go into battle is only too strong, with no compromise,
and as long as it takes. Syria is reputed to be ruled by Scorpio as are the
cities of Washington DC, Cincinnati, Baltimore, New Orleans and in the UK; the
cities of Liverpool and Newcastle. Any of these cities may feel some intensity,
not least the Obama administration in Washington DC.
Early month brings globally a sense of blind confidence and
arrogance and hubristic behaviour and at the least a “used car salesman”
attitude being perpetrated in our political establishments.
The last week of the month is also not easy when Mars
conjuncts Saturn and Venus square up to that conjunction. Also the Sun will
oppose Neptune, all of which points to some wilful blindness, smoke and
mirrors, stubborn intransigence and rather unintelligent daring, if not plain,
ruthless greed.
Leo is the sign of the lion; the king of the beasts, and
just as its ruler the Sun is at the centre of the solar system, so too do Leos
tend to be centre stage. Many leaders, those in positions of power and actors
have strong Leo input in their chart. David Cameron (Sun and ascendant, in
Libra) has his Moon in Leo, which rules his career point (the Midheaven)
conjunct his Jupiter in Leo and his Mars is in Leo too.
Obama (Leo, with Aquarius rising) does have some challenges
mid month when Mars squares his ascendant.
Also, the full Moon falls on the 10th at 18°of
Aquarius and is then exactly on the rising degree of Obama’s chart. This will
be a very tough time for him.
More positive days however are the 2nd and 3rd
when Mercury conjuncts Jupiter, the 21st and 22nd when
Mercury trines Pluto, and the 7th and 15th/16th
when Mars harmonises respectively with Neptune and Pluto. The visionary, the
new and the healing may well be in the air.
The new Moon is on the 25th at 2’° of Virgo. New
beginnings are in the air.
