Why is it possible that our forecasts still can be wrong for you?
Because we only and solely delineate the transiting planets/bodies and midpoints that aspect your natal Sun WITHOUT taking into account any interference from any other natal planet/body (because we don't have your natal chart that contains much more planets/bodies and points than just the Sun).
If, for example, the transiting Jupiter/Uranus midpoint aspects your natal Sun, this may indicate a fortunate event -- which we will mention.
However, if, in your natal chart, Saturn aspects the Sun (which we cannot know), the meaning of this configuration changes completely and becomes more challenging and you may find our prediction to be wrong for you.
During this month of January, there are no specific planetary configurations containing stationing midpoints of outer planets affecting birthdays
Generally speaking, January 2, 3, 4 and 18 are "less lucky" days.
Try not to initiate any major projects on these dark, unfortunate, chaotic and empty days (no proposals, no marriages, no changes of residence,...) because things may not go as planned or wished.
In the 45° dial, there are a couple of powerful midpoints between outer planets going on that become exact this month and that will set the background tone of January 2021.
First of all, there are Neptune and the mean Lunar Nodes hitting the Jupiter/Saturn midpoint, especially active in the first half of the month (NE = KN = JU/SA) and then, there is Uranus exactly hitting the Jupiter/Saturn midpoint at 0° in fixed signs (UR = JU/SA), especially powerful in the 2nd half of the month.
Additionally, the Uranus/Neptune midpoint hits the Uranus/mean Lunar Node and Saturn/Neptune midpoints (UR/NE = UR/KN = SA/NE).
The NE = KN = JU/SA midpoint configuration, that is most powerful in the 1st half of the month, suggests, among others: bewilderment, loneliness, disillusionment about the relative pace of progress, the betrayal, losses and wasted energy, pessimism, damage to property or buildings because of gas- or water-related issues, the disappointment in others or in someone, the chronic health issues (liver, blood or lungs) affecting many, the epidemic issues.
Following astrometeorology, this month of January 2021 might tend to become very wet here and there.
If you are born around January 24, March 8, April 23, June 8-9, July 26, September 10-11, October 26 or December 10 this midpoint configuration may affect you more personally too.
There can be circulatory physical issues as well.
The powerful UR = JU/SA midpoint configuration that is most powerful in the 2nd half of the month, suggests, among others: damage to property or buildings, the nervous tension, to be terribly upset with the status of things, a highly unexpected change of course, the change of career or job, to change the residence, to change a lifestyle and enjoy more freedom.
If you are born around January 27, March 11-12, April 26, June 12, July 29, September 14, October 29 or December 13, this midpoint configuration may affect you more personally too.
The UR/NE = UR/KN = SA/NE planetary picture or midpoint combination has to be split in two because in the 1st half of January the UR/NE = UR/KN combination is exact and from the 2nd half of January the UR/NE = SA/NE midpoint combination becomes exact and thus more powerful.
In the 1st half of January 2021 the UR/NE = UR/KN midpoint combination reflects a stalemate or checkmate situation.
It's the combo of paralysis, feeling weak and being lived and/or not being able to move anymore.
You want to flee or escape from some external tense and upsetting situation but are not able to do so.
You may feel lonely and some may disappear or get hiding.
This combo also reflects health issues (unconsciousness, not being able to respond anymore).
The UR/NE = SA/NE midpoint combination, that is especially active in the 2nd half of January, brings more health issues to the foreground.
You feel ill or lack zest and/or are hopeless.
This combo reflects loneliness, solitude, dissatisfaction, a chronic disease, annoying health issues, not being able to stand strong.
Following astrometeorology, this planetary picture suggests disruptive water-related events (like floods or inundations or maritime issues etc.).
If you are born around January 3, February 16, April 1-2, May 18, July 4, August 20, October 5 or November 19-20, the UR/NE = UR/KN = SA/NE planetary picture will affect you most.
Mercury and Pluto conjoin at 24° Capricorn around January 4-5, suggesting annoyance and investigating or researching documents.
Secret documents may reveal some hidden truths.
This can be a mentally intense period.
Around the same period of January 5-6, Neptune at 18° Pisces squares the Lunar Nodes, indicating a period of massive confusion, uncertainty, chaos, deception, fraud, distrust, unsettled matters.
Because the Lunar Nodes represent connections, in the widest sense, there are scandals, secrets and mysteries involving groups, assassinations, undercover operations or secret missions going on.
Following astrometeorology, this square may indicate mild temperatures with some imbalance in precipitation (either severe precipitation or drought).
This square lingers on for quite some weeks, so, don't expect things to settle any time soon.
Mars enters Taurus around January 6, the sign of its detriment.
Striving for or maintaining material security and material comfort gets your full attention now.
Know that Uranus is in Taurus too, denoting that both Mars and Uranus in the most inert sign of the zodiac, may bring about a huge existential crisis for the coming weeks and months that show an intense resistance to change, a huge fury, anger and battle to safeguard possessions and comfort.
Needless to say, this is not a peaceful position for Mars to be in as it represents a fanatical battle for the material world.
This configuration may also suggest damage to property because of violence, accidents and/or natural disasters.
Indeed, also beware of storms and other weather related issues around the entrance of Mars in this earth sign.
We might get some more earth-crust related natural disasters (earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, ...) in the weeks and months to come with Mars, Uranus and Pluto now residing in earth signs.
Around January 8, Mercury enters Aquarius and instantly squares Mars at 1° Taurus while Venus enters Capricorn.
The Mercury-Mars combo reflects disputes, anger, protests, resistance, enforced trips or travel, tension and nervousness, emergencies, violence and accidents, the sudden news of some enforced or "fated" separation.
Internet outages or online issues may happen as well.
Venus at 0° Capricorn suggests a new boss, leader, chief or the formal appointment of someone high ranking.
Venus in Capricorn loves people in higher positions, people in a uniform, "formal beauties", and people with a big bank account.
Following astrometeorology, Venus in the cold sign Capricorn, tends to coincide with colder weather.
Uranus stations and turns direct again at 6° Taurus around January 14 while the Sun and Pluto conjoin at 24° Capricorn.
Stationing Uranus of breaking up, breakthroughs, disruptions and revelations at a degree of explosions, collapses and dam bursts, marks some collapse, some breakdown, an explosion, or even a dam burst.
Something is going down or breaks up suddenly.
Expect some shock and/or a sleepless or a restless night.
Also, stationing Uranus often coincides with new discoveries, innovations and technological breakthroughs.
Following astrometeorology, the station of Uranus often coincides with stormy weather and/or thunderstorms here and there.
The accompanying Sun-Pluto conjunction at a degree of system reversals and the uncovering of lies suggests we should not only interpret the collapse in a literal and material or physical way alone but also figuratively.
For some of you, the current astrological configurations may point to the reversal of some old situation and closing a chapter in life, resulting in a change of residence, for the better, or a career switch.
Jupiter at 6° Aquarius squares stationing Uranus at 6° Taurus around the same day of January 17.
This waning square suggests conflicting opinions.
This is a highly freedom-loving aspect though.
Around the First Quarter Moon of January 19, the Sun enters Aquarius, triggering stormy, tense, restless and unpredictable configurations.
There is great tension, rebellion, some revolution among enforced changes and extreme determination.
Here too, the bottom-line is a collapse, a breakdown, possible arrests, being (too) radical and impulsive, strong physical restrictions, enforced changes.
This all is even reinforced by the testing and tense accident-prone Mars-Uranus conjunction at 6° Taurus around January 20, the degree of explosions, collapses and dam bursts.
Expect sudden reversals and detours, cancelled activities, sudden violence and accidents, physical injuries and fighting for freedom and independence.
There is anger all around.
Mars at 7° Taurus squares Jupiter at 7° Aquarius around January 23, indicating legal issues and battles.
This waxing square exaggerates, is bold, blunt and tends to bully.
Disproportionate actions are taken under this bullying aspect.
Around the same day of January 23-24, the Sun meets Saturn at 4° Aquarius pointing to some haughtiness.
The atmosphere is chilly, cold.
The Sun at 6° Aquarius squares Uranus, its dispositor, at 6° Taurus, around January 26, reflecting damage to buildings for whatever reason and a very tense atmosphere.
There can be panic here and there as well as engines breaking down.
Beware of financial blackmail when Venus and Pluto conjoin at 25° Capricorn around the January 28 Full Moon.
In some instances, this conjunction indicates the death of a beloved one.
The Sun and Jupiter meet at 9° Aquarius around January 28-29, marking a day of relief, gathering and connecting.
Overall, this aspect marks a very optimistic outlook, in whatever way.
Around January 30, Mercury stations and turns retrograde at 26° Aquarius.
Geminis and Virgos (and Gemini and Virgo Ascendants) don't welcome stations of Mercury as it brings sobering influences, things not working out as wished for.
Some minor health issues may arise as well and you may lack some zest.
Usually, stationing Mercury coincides with periods of manifestations, protests and/or strikes on a mundane level.
Also, this station in particular suggests some issues with air traffic or planes.
During this month of February, there are no specific planetary configurations containing stationing midpoints of outer planets affecting birthdays
Generally speaking, February 3, 6, 8 and 16 are "less lucky" days.
Try not to initiate any major projects on these dark, unfortunate, chaotic and empty days (no proposals, no marriages, no changes of residence,...) because things may not go as planned or wished.
In the 45° dial, there are a couple of powerful midpoints between outer planets going on that become exact this month and that will set the background tone of February 2021.
Neptune hits the Jupiter/Pluto midpoint (NE = JU/PL) and additionally, the Jupiter/Pluto midpoint also hits the Neptune/mean Lunar Node midpoint (JU/PL = NE/KN).
The NE = JU/PL midpoint configuration suggests, among others: massive fraud, the general deception, the BIG lies, the huge damage, the widespread infection, betrayal, the big speculation, to escape reality or pressure by whatever means, the unclear goals and plans and the resulting confusion.
If you are born around January 23, March 8, April 22-23, June 8, July 26, September 10, October 26 or December 10 this midpoint configuration may affect you more personally too.
The JU/PL = NE/KN planetary picture suggests, among others: the big corruption, the scandal(s), the criminal elements with great social influence, the extreme depletion of resources, scandals involving foreign concerns to be unwilling or unable to consider the demands of the people.
If you are born around January 24, March 9, April 24, June 9, July 27, September 11, October 27 or December 11, this midpoint configuration may affect you more personally too.
The whole month is marked by a stellium in Aquarius that is activated once more by the entrance of Venus in Aquarius around February 1.
Clearly, Aquarian energies will prevail the whole month long and will present unsettling, disrupting events or experiences.
Following astrometeorological principles, powerful Aquarian energies are cold and dry, indicative of dropping temps, rain and/or snow (depending on the hemisphere).
If your Sun sign is Pisces, this month will be a treacherous month, with lots going on behind your back.
You may feel ill or need more solitude and might enjoy being alone.
This month may be very creative for some of you also.
What is important too with the Aquarius stellium is that all the planets and bodies in that zodiac sign will one after another square Uranus, their dispositor.
Planets that are squared by their dispositor act in a very challenging, disturbing, disruptive and uncomfortable way, the more so in fixed signs.
They hit our comfort zone and because Aquarius is also about technology, the internet and freedom it does not wonder our freedom and independence is at stake.
Internet outages, blackouts, power outages, issues with electricity and electronics and technology are likely to happen as long as this stellium is active.
With Venus in independent Aquarius, friends may become lovers and you are more attracted by very different people from all walks of life.
You are sociable but keep a friendly distance.
Some of you may break up a relationship.
Around the same day of February 1, the Sun at 12° Aquarius squares Mars at 12° Taurus, suggesting some physical issues, fever, infections, burns, injuries, conflicts and/or disagreements.
This waning square points to some "defeat", loss or lack of work and some possible financial expenses and/or losses.
Around February 6, Venus and Saturn meet at 5° Aquarius and Venus will square Uranus at 6° Aquarius around February 7.
Uranus is the dispositor of both Venus and Saturn so that this square is quite disruptive and may shatter your love life or relationship(s) with loved ones.
You may be rejected, dumped, or may feel left and not respected by someone or by others.
Financially speaking, this combo suggests accounts being blocked or suspended, not being able to pay bills, among others.
Following astrometeorology, this square suggests overcast and ice cold weather (possible freezing and snow during winter).
The Sun and retrograde Mercury meet at 20° Aquarius around February 8, a degree of constraint, the collapse of an illusion or falsehood, enforced meetings or gatherings, enforced changes of the place, the founding of a private group based upon past illusions.
Mercury at 17° Aquarius squares Mars at 17° Taurus around February 10, indicating disagreements, protests, traffic accidents, injuries (especially related to the arms and/or hands).
Around the February 11 New Moon, Venus and Jupiter conjoin at 12° Aquarius, a degree of an unexpected turn for the better.
Interestingly, the Venus-Jupiter conjunction often indicates luck and happiness in one's personal or private life (unlike in mundane astrology where this aspect may be more problematic and indicate lots of precipitation, heavy rain/snow, floods etc.).
Around February 13, Mercury and Venus conjoin at 14° Aquarius, suggesting nice or enjoyable talks, romantic feelings, receiving and/or sending nice letters/messages or even love cards or parcels.
Mercury conjuncts Jupiter at 13° Aquarius the day after, around February 14, indicating confidence and optimistic news.
The attentive reader will have noticed that between February 11-15, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter are actually conjunct between 11°-14° Aquarius, presenting nice achievements, appreciation, happy thoughts and feelings, a very optimistic and nice message or period of communication.
New possibilities present themselves.
On a personal level, this time frame is one of the most auspicious ones of the month.
Around February 17, Saturn at 7° Aquarius squares Uranus at 7° Taurus.
This waning aspect will bring highly uncomfortable situations on a material, physical, financial level.
This aspect reflects ongoing but crumbling fanaticism, tyranny, obstinate tunnel vision, intolerance, retaliation and wants to enforce a strict attitude.
This aspect will show that thinking outside of the box (the rules) is necessary and the old hierarchical energies (Saturn) are demanded to comply with and submit to the equality-loving and less materialistic energies (Uranus).
Because the aspect is waning, it is about a wrap-up, an ending cycle that will serve the freedom-loving Uranian principles in the end.
Hence, it's also the aspect of rebellion, withholding for the sake of it because one knows all blocking and restricting actions will ultimately be in vain and be broken up.
This is the first square in a series that will mark 2021 and early 2022 profoundly.
On a mundane level, this aspect is often indicative of air crashes, turmoil, internet outages, issues with electronics and electricity and the like, protests, breaking away from restrictions, considerable resistance from the people, strikes, stressful events, radical measures or opposition.
All Saturn-Uranus aspects cause stress and tension, uneasiness and may represent manic-depressive periods.
Realize that in mundane astrology, the Saturn-Uranus cycle is called a tyrannical or dictatorial cycle (add to this the current Pluto in Capricorn transit) so that censorship and extreme and insane draconian measures will mark this year.
Sorry to say, but this is a harsh and cold aspect that will try to control the masses by whatever means and in a most dramatic, persevering and determined way.
Bullying will be part of it.
At 7° fixed signs, this waning aspect may suggest a lack of something, material goods, or whatever.
The Sun enters compassionate Pisces around February 18.
During this month of March, there are no specific planetary configurations containing stationing midpoints of outer planets affecting birthdays
Generally speaking, March 13, 14, 15 and 29 are "less lucky" days.
Try not to initiate any major projects on these dark, unfortunate, chaotic and empty days (no proposals, no marriages, no changes of residence,...) because things may not go as planned or wished.
In the 45° dial, there is a powerful midpoint between outer planets going on that is exact this month and that marks this month's Zeitgeist.
Uranus hits the Jupiter/Pluto midpoint (UR = JU/PL), especially exact in the 2nd half of the month while it is also activated by the March 13 New Moon.
This midpoint configuration suggests, among others: the sudden and unexpected interference to plans for advancement, to rebel against society, overturning the tables, finding new perspectives to progress, the unexpected and sudden reform or reversal, the unexpected big transformation, the fanatic compulsion to reform.
If you are born around January 27-28, March 13, April 28, June 14, July 31, September 15-16, October 31 or December 14-15 this midpoint configuration may affect you more personally too.
There is another exact planetary picture going on this month that is more difficult to interpret as it contains different midpoints: SA/PL = UR/PL = NE/KN.
The SA/PL midpoint on itself is related to buildings, (re)building structures and forms, concrete, the completely stuck situation, no progress or developments, the harsh oppression and tyranny, bankruptcies, the harsh realities, the very hard and extremely tough work.
The UR/PL midpoint on itself indicates the sudden and dramatic reversal, the storm, the huge turmoil, the drastic reform, the rebellion.
The NE/KN midpoint on itself suggests: secret groups or societies, mass deception, the numerous lies, a group of sick people, hospitals and/or closed institutions.
When blending the meaning of all these three separate midpoints together, this planetary picture, when triggered, might indicate, among others, the destruction of concrete buildings, the material damage because of a storm or explosion, the destruction and transformation of secret societies/connections, to rebuild something with perseverance in secret, breaking through stuck situations, deception and secrets.
Around March 3-4, Mars enters communicative Gemini, suggesting lots of debate, talks, sharp words, changes of the place and/or an increase in traffic accidents.
The day after, around 5, Mercury and Jupiter meet at 17° Aquarius while the Sun at 15° Pisces squares the mean Lunar Nodes.
When Mercury and Jupiter conjoin, there is public news, a big announcement, big news about a nice opportunity or that presents a profitable and/or successful outcome.
There is legal news or some legal documents are involved as well as foreign affairs (affairs spanning different countries).
The Sun-mean Lunar Nodes square at the critical 15 degrees in mutable signs is indicative of some health issues, not being able "to shine" properly, a setback of some sort.
Around March 9, Venus at 15° Pisces squares the mean Lunar Nodes, indicating confusion about a loved one.
A loved one may need care or help and may even get hospitalized.
You may miss a loved one and this aspect often points to avoiding others as well.
Following astrometeorology, there can be lots of precipitation around these days.
The Sun meets Neptune at 20° Pisces around March 10-11, indicating a loved one (most often a mother-figure) is not feeling well.
Remember that 20° in mutable signs often reflects "motherly principles" and may represent the mother as such but also the female caring principles.
Hence, it happens that some women change their look (like cutting their hair for example).
The Sun enters Aries (the Vernal Point) around March 20, suggesting a more active period is ahead.
The day after, around March 21, Venus too enters Aries, suggesting an increased attraction to people of the armed forces, do-ers and people reflecting archetypal masculine traits.
Mercury at 11° Pisces squares Mars at 11° Gemini around March 24.
Because Mercury is the dispositor of Mars (Mercury rules the sign Gemini that Mars is in) and Mercury is in a very difficult position in the sign of its detriment, this waning square is brutal, argumentative, sarcastic, impatient and accident-prone because of impulsive urges and drives.
There can be traffic accidents and other violent events resulting in physical injuries and cuts.
Mercury at 14° Pisces squares the mean Lunar Nodes around March 25, suggesting a very busy and hectic period.
Around the March 28 Full Moon, Mars and the mean Lunar North Node are conjunct at 14° Gemini.
Regular readers of our monthly forecasts may remember our saying that any Mars-Lunar Node aspect often coincides with mass events resulting in many casualties or physical injuries for many people or a group of people.
Such aspects indicate (mass) shootings, traffic accidents and other group related violent affairs.
This can be a bloody combo.
This makes that we expect the 2nd half of March to be turbulent, one way or the other.
Around March 29-30, Mercury and Neptune conjoin at 21° Pisces, suggesting foggy situations.
There is unreliable information going around and/or documents kept secret or undisclosed.
Beware of lies and story-telling during which information is distorted and/or not clear.
Generally speaking, April 19 is a "less lucky" day.
Try not to initiate any major projects on this dark, unfortunate, chaotic and empty day (no proposals, no marriages, no changes of residence,...) because things may not go as planned or wished.
During this month of April, the following planetary configurations will affect some birthdays in particular:
In the 45° dial, there are two powerful midpoints between outer planets going on that will be exact this month and that will mark this month's Zeitgeist.
In the 1st half of the month, the Neptune/Chiron midpoint will be at the Vernal Point (0° Aries or 0° in cardinal signs)(Vp = NE/CH), and in the 2nd half of the month stationing Pluto hits the Saturn/Chiron midpoint (PL = SA/CH), right around the April 27-28 Full Moon.
The Vp = NE/CH midpoint suggests, among others: worldwide agony, worldwide misery and/or suffering, worldwide deception and/or insincerity, the worldwide deceptive changes, the worldwide cognitive dissonance.
If you are born around January 27-28, March 13, April 28, June 14, July 31, September 15-16, October 31 or December 14-15 this midpoint configuration may affect you more personally too.
Following astrometeorology, this midpoint coincides with lots of precipitation, issues because of floods, inundations etc.
Stationing Pluto hitting the Saturn/Chiron midpoint is a very powerful combination, the more so because it happens around a Full Moon, which always creates some kind of awareness and publicity.
This PL = SA/CH midpoint suggests, among others: turnabouts "for the worse", to experience physical ailments and/or restrictions, consequences and accountability demand profound and unavoidable changes, to experience profound hardship (most often on a physical or material level).
If you are born around January 16, March 2, April 16, June 2, July 19, September 4, October 19-20 or December 3 this midpoint configuration may affect you more personally.
Mars at 21° Gemini squares Neptune at 21° Pisces around April 9.
This waxing square opposes and/or rejects, dislikes and/or refuses something.
This aspect reflects a fight for higher ideals that are not always welcomed.
It's not always possible to put dreams, visions and ideals into practice either.
Anger now has to be directed constructively and actions need to be asserted in a refined way.
There is an increased chance or risk of infections during this aspect.
Around the April 12 New Moon, Venus at 26° Aries squares Pluto at 26° Capricorn.
This waxing Venus-Pluto square in which Venus is in the sign of its detriment, is way too forceful to handle because intense and forceful Pluto has the upper hand.
This is not a peaceful aspect as Pluto in Capricorn is too harsh and restrictive.
Women should be particularly careful because some encounters can be to their detriment.
Beware of financial blackmail as well.
Big corporations, the banking world, authorities and governments have their say, in a forceful way.
Around April 18-19, the Sun at 29° Aries meets Mercury while Mercury enters Taurus thereafter, followed by the Sun.
There are financial dealings and/or talks going on and you want to make sure your possessions and finances are safe.
The attentive reader may have noticed that the Sun and Mercury currently walk together, suggesting there will be lots of discussions about property, possessions, material comfort and existential needs because there now is a stellium in the earth sign Taurus (the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Uranus are all in Taurus).
Combine this with Pluto, slowly stationing in the earth sign Capricorn and we are up for some events or experiences in the "material world."
When many planets and bodies are in earth signs, this often coincides with natural disasters like tornadoes, earthquakes, volcanic activity, earth-slides, etc.
Also, predominant earth traits suggest structural reviews and changes during which systems too are re-evaluated.
Around the same days of April 22-23, Venus and Uranus meet at 10° Taurus while Mars enters home-loving Cancer.
Mars entering the sign of the domestic area is indicative of work at home, home work, doing home repair etc.
Some of you may change the residence or just move to another location.
However, for some, the current active degree areas also tend to impose relocation (enforced moves, trips, changes of the place).
Because 0° Cancer also represents the archetypal mother-principle, chances are something happens to a mother-figure and/or, especially if you are a Cancerian, you may face stomach issues.
Mercury too meets Uranus at 10° Taurus around April 24, reflecting a sudden U-turn, breaking news, changing opinions, sudden revelations.
Prepare for sudden changes of course.
Following astrometeorology, all Mercury-Uranus aspects tend to coincide with wind and even storm here and there.
Around April 25, Mercury and Venus at 12° Taurus square Saturn at 12° Aquarius and, while leaving the square, they both conjoin at 13° Taurus later on.
Clearly, when both Mercury and Venus square restrictive Saturn, they present a bummer in matters of love and romance.
There is separation, stress, tension, a lack of money, criticism, feeling undervalued and everything that is said or done is just calculated, pre-programmed following a script.
Around the April 27 Full Moon, Pluto stations at 26° Capricorn and turns backward.
If you are a Scorpio or have Scorpio rising, you may not feel too well around the station.
Things don't go as wished or planned and you better keep a low profile.
Perhaps, there can be some health issues popping up.
On a mundane level, all Pluto stations mark periods of increased earth changes, like earthquakes, landslides, mining disasters, volcanic activity, the more so when Pluto is in the sign of crusts (like the earth crust) and borders.
This all is reinforced when other planets are found in earth signs, which is now the case also with the ongoing Taurus stellium.
Additionally, stationing Pluto is exactly at the Saturn/Chiron midpoint of hardship and you may find out that this station might bring a very sobering and limiting influence for some of you.
For some of you, the hardship will be felt physically because of an injury or illness and may cause pain.
You may feel miserable, not able to fly high and face a real bummer.
This station also points to some turning point that involves responsibility and some turnabouts "for the worse."
When responsibility and accountability matter, change is necessary and unavoidable.
Because of its backward motion, Pluto will hit the 24°-26° Capricorn degrees that it occupied the past year, again for the rest of 2021.
You might understand more or less, generally speaking, what this tells about this year's "Zeitgeist" (and these influences are even reinforced by the year-long waning Saturn-Uranus square).
Also understand that, following German empirical research into the degree areas (by the TPA school), 24°-26° Capricorn is a degree area coinciding with giving up past habits, the hour of "the truth", totalitarian and tyrannical power, to fight against immense restrictions and blockages, to cope with fierce resistance.
The Sun and Uranus conjoin at 10° Taurus around April 30, suggesting another U-turn or disruption going on.
Things are unsettling and possibly quite disruptive.
Generally speaking, May 3, 10, 22 and 25 are "less lucky" days.
Try not to initiate any major projects on these dark, unfortunate, chaotic and empty days (no proposals, no marriages, no changes of residence,...) because things may not go as planned or wished.
In the 45° dial, there are also two powerful midpoints between outer planets going on that will be exact this month and that will mark this month's Zeitgeist.
Pluto hits the Jupiter/Neptune and Uranus/Chiron midpoints (PL = JU/NE = UR/CH) and stationing Saturn hits the Jupiter/Pluto midpoint (SA = JU/PL).
The PL = JU/NE = UR/CH midpoint configuration suggests, among others: bankruptcy, market crashes, the huge (financial) losses and/or expenses, the big scandals, the huge fraud, the political uproar, disrupting big illusions, exposing false morals.
If you are born around January 16, March 1-2, April 16, June 2, July 19, September 4, October 19 or December 3, this midpoint configuration may affect you more personally too.
Stationing Saturn hitting the Jupiter/Pluto midpoint suggests, among others: delays in advancement or developments, not being able to develop properly, the stuck situations, not being able to move on, to experience severe obstruction.
If you are born around February 2, March 18-19, May 3, June 19, August 5, September 21, November 5 or December 20 this midpoint configuration may affect you more personally.
Mercury at 28° Taurus squares Jupiter at 28° Aquarius while the Sun at 13° Taurus squares Saturn at 13° Aquarius around May 3, suggesting some disappointing news.
The waxing Mercury-Jupiter square in fixed signs is full of wishful thinking and fixed convictions.
Things are put in too a positive or optimistic way, indicating some window dressing is going on.
The waxing Sun-Saturn in fixed signs reflects trying to fight strict rules and restrictions but still feeling huge resistance.
On a material (physical) level, both aspects clearly indicate a bummer.
Around May 8, Venus at 29° Taurus squares Jupiter at 29° Aquarius and will enter Gemini the day after.
This waxing Venus-Jupiter square indicates financial expenses and/or purchases.
There is a tendency to please, overdo, exaggerate, promise more than you can deliver and present a glossy cover.
There can be more social encounters and meetings with neighbors or siblings.
In Gemini, Venus becomes the social butterfly and is not interested in fixed bonds but prefers detached and changing relationships that focus on exchanging thoughts, ideas, information.
Moreover, from May 11 till May 25, Chiron, Uranus and the Lunar Nodes will all be at the same numerical degree in a sign (11°) and around May 12 and 13, violent Mars too will be at 11° in a sign, adding to this turbulent, shocking, explosive and highly disruptive combo for many.
Indeed, we expect eye-opening shocks and quite some upheaval for many, triggered by this SuperMoon.
Just a reminder and to put this configuration in perspective: in mid March 2020 Chiron, Uranus and the Lunar Nodes were at the same numerical degree in a sign also.
Jupiter enters Pisces around May 13-14 in which it feels quite at home.
The planet of beliefs and worldview in religious (actually, spiritual) Pisces suggests an increased focus on religious leaders and social issues.
In mundane astrology, Pisces is the sign of isolation, those who suffer, closed institutions and organizations (like hospitals and governments), sacrifice and help based upon universal love, secret societies and also the collective consciousness and when Jupiter of foreign affairs, overdoing, exaggeration is in that sign, it presents some widespread social issues and might even indicate widespread suffering.
This can be a very charitable position for Jupiter to be in, often because there is something big going on that needs support or help in whatever way.
Both Jupiter and Pisces have in common that they know no boundaries and spread things fast and far -- not always in an appropriate or balanced way.
Jupiter always exaggerates and enlarges, in whatever sign it is or whatever aspects it makes.
Hence, the topic of refugees, among others, will certainly be a main one as long as Jupiter resides in Pisces.
Following astrometeorology, Jupiter at 0° Pisces may coincide with lots of heavy rain here and there.
Around May 20, the Sun enters Gemini and squares Jupiter at 0° Pisces, the day after.
The waxing Sun-Jupiter square at 0 degrees in mutable signs point to some unrealistic optimism and expectations and a carefree attitude that is not welcomed by everyone.
This aspect indicates propagating, publishing, promoting something successfully, even though it's not "the Truth."
Around May 22-23, Mercury at 22° Gemini squares Neptune at 22° Pisces, pointing to nebulous situations.
Both planets are very strong in the signs they rule and present unclear situations and thus possible misinformation or disinformation.
You may be easily misled now.
Saturn stations and turns retrograde at 13° Aquarius around May 23.
If you are Capricorn (or have Capricorn rising), this station will bring some health issues and not everything will go as planned or wished.
There is dissatisfaction all around and some upheaval is to be feared.
Saturn's stations often coincide with the fall of cranes, collapsing structures (or -- parts of -- buildings), authority figures or celebrities or higher-ups leaving this world, leaving their position, retiring or resigning.
There can be restrictions that apply and that hinder you physically also.
Stationing Saturn, often becomes more restrictive when retrograde and reviews things from the past.
In freedom-loving Aquarius, stationing Saturn will certainly review and reassess our freedom and independence.
Also, it will affect our convictions too.
Following astrometeorology, there can be overcast weather with lots of clouds in the sky.
Around May 26 there is a Lunar Eclipse at 5° Sagittarius.
Actually, this Full Moon is a SuperMoon as it is closest to Earth as well, indicating some possible wild or extreme weather here and there.
Venus at 22° Gemini square Neptune at 22° Pisces around May 27, pointing to a very sensitive period of longings for peace and harmony.
You may honor an absent loved one.
Enjoy music or the movies to cope with some emptiness.
Mercury stations and turns backward at 24° Gemini while it meets Venus as well around May 29.
Mercury's stations are most profoundly felt by Geminis and Virgos (or Gemini and Virgo Ascendants).
During the stations things don't go as planned or wished and some health issues may pop up also.
On a mundane level, these stations often coincide with strikes, protests and/or manifestations, the more so in airy Gemini that may block and/or disrupt traffic and/or public transportation here and there.
Interestingly, this station also coincides with a conjunction to Venus.
Both planets together are very gentle and enjoy social talks, poetry, love talks etc.
At 24° Gemini, a degree of shock and/or paralysis, this conjunction may bring separation of some sort though.
Following astrometeorology, there can be quite some rain here and there.
Generally speaking, June 17 and 30 are "less lucky" days.
Try not to initiate any major projects on these dark, unfortunate, chaotic and empty days (no proposals, no marriages, no changes of residence,...) because things may not go as planned or wished.
In the 45° dial, there is also a powerful midpoint combo between outer planets going on that will be exact this month and that will mark this month's Zeitgeist.
The Neptune/Chiron midpoint and the Pluto/mean Lunar North Node midpoint (NE/CH = PL/KN) both equal each other.
This midpoint configuration affects a whole group of people, the masses (because of the Pluto/Chiron midpoint) and suggests agony for a mass of people, cognitive dissonance for many, very weird, peculiar and unbelievable situations or experiences for many that might bring pain and/or suffering.
Though this combo is active for quite some time, it is particularly powerful and triggered around the June 24 Full (Super)Moon.
This can be a very disappointing midpoint for those affected.
There can be illness, disease, burns or even deaths.
Also, the midpoints involved might also suggest some criminal activity and/or brushes with the law and some criminal elements being present.
Additionally, whatever happens, you may get no explanation or answers to your questions, leaving you baffled.
If you are born around February 6, March 23, May 8, June 24, August 10, September 25, November 10 or December 24 this midpoint configuration may affect you more personally too.
The Sun and the mean Lunar North Node meet at 10° Gemini around June 1, which is indicative of stress and tension during times of success or recognition.
There is more confidence and you are very much focused on independence, personal sovereignty and finding ways to improve your self-expression.
There is help and assistance and new opportunities will present themselves.
The day after, around June 11, the Sun and Mercury conjoin at 20° Gemini while Mars enters hot and fiery Leo.
In Leo, Mars gets a bit pushy, trying to get attention.
It creates an urge for increased creative self-expression (and fun).
Some of you may easily feel out of balance and don't feel able to express yourself properly.
However, for some others, there is conception and pregnancy possible around these days.
The entrance of Mars in Leo often marks chaotic living circumstances and/or some parental issues.
Following astrometeorology, Mars in Leo, the hottest zodiac sign, raises the temperature manifolds.
The Sun-Mercury conjunction suggests some documents, news and/or information regarding a separation, domestic changes and/or news related to, from or about the mother and/or motherhood.
Jupiter stations at 2° Pisces and turns retrograde around June 20 while the Sun enters Cancer.
Stationing retrograde Jupiter often coincides with a less optimistic and a more realistic vision or outlook.
Generally speaking, all re-trogrades become more re-alistic.
The enthusiasm of direct Jupiter diminishes and, usually, the stationary retrograde period is not too good an omen for the economy.
The masses spend less during this period, they shy away from social activity also and the economy tends to slacken.
Additionally, the backward motion of Jupiter might bring more restrictions instead of more freedom, travel may be limited or restricted.
Legal issues may pop up.
On a positive note, retrograde Jupiter cannot rely on external truths, external guidelines that you get from the media, religions and teachers but you have to define your own morality and perspective on values.
You can no longer accept social principles and all that society offers.
If your Sun sign is Sagittarius or have Sagittarius rising, you will likely feel the station's influences most and may not feel too well or experience some setbacks.
Things just don't go as planned or wished for.
Beware of some disruptions going on while the Sun enters Cancer.
Mercury stations at 16° Gemini and turns direct again around June 22 which will be welcomed by most Geminis and Virgos (or Gemini and Virgo Ascendants) because their life will be more on track again.
Some things start to move again and some documents, information or communication gets through.
On a mundane level, stationing Mercury often coincides with periods of strikes, manifestations and protests.
The last week of June, Mars in early Leo starts to oppose Saturn in early Aquarius and square Uranus in early Taurus, building a T-square in which Uranus is thus the apex planet.
Looks like (late) June will bring quite some struggle to gain more independence and freedom.
There seem to come more unexpected interruptions in a loud and brash way.
Actions and/or activities are on hold but meet huge resistance also.
There is a huge clash between opposite forces going on and the tension is building up.
Generally speaking, July 19, 22 and 28 are "less lucky" days.
Try not to initiate any major projects on these dark, unfortunate, chaotic and empty days (no proposals, no marriages, no changes of residence,...) because things may not go as planned or wished.
In the 45° dial, there are also a couple of powerful midpoint combos between outer planets going on that will be exact this month and that will mark this month's Zeitgeist.
In the first half of the month, the Jupiter/Neptune and Saturn/Chiron midpoints (JU/NE = SA/CH) both equal each other.
Additionally, early July, Uranus hits the Jupiter/Pluto midpoint.
In the second half of July, the following planetary pictures (midpoint combos) will be active:
the Jupiter/mean Lunar Node, Uranus/Neptune and Pluto/Chiron midpoints (JU/KN = UR/NE = PL/CH) equal each other
the Saturn/mean Lunar Node, Neptune Pluto midpoints (SA/KN = NE/PL) equal each other
the Jupiter/Pluto and Saturn/Uranus midpoints (JU/PL = SA/UR) equal each other
Let's (try to) delineate these planetary configurations first.
So, in the first half of July, the JU/NE = SA/CH and UR=JU/PL midpoints are active.
They are related to, among others, damage because of floods and/or inundations and/or heavy precipitation, bankruptcy or big financial losses, the financial decline, the damage or hardship because of (a) big scandal(s), damage or hardship because of something mysterious, the very big and sudden disruptive change or transformation, the complete reversal or overturn of some situation(s), the loss of esteem or position or reputation, the arrest(s).
In the second half of July, the JU/KN = UR/NE = PL/CH midpoint combination suggests, severe floods and/or inundations and/or heavy precipitation, the widespread or powerful internet outage(s), the widespread chaos or turmoil, the major change because of down-time.
The SA/KN = NE/PL combination is indicative of, among others, separation because of water-related situations (floods, inundations, maritime disasters), seclusion or isolation, sadness because of unprecedented events.
The JU/PL = SA/UR planetary picture signifies, among others, severe traffic and/or transportation issues, the many arrests, the big resistance and tumult, the breaking of rules and regulations, the breaking free in a major way.
Around July 1, Mars at 12° Leo opposes retrograde Saturn at 12° Aquarius, suggesting delayed or postponed actions or activities.
There are blockages and/or restrictions that may prevent you to go to work or go ahead with something envisioned.
Understand that all oppositions that involve restrictive, limiting, blocking Saturn indicate a NO to whatever question arises.
In some instances, this opposition indicates breaking bones, feeling ill, mandatory rest or inactivity and may also suggest the following of strict guidelines.
Mars at 13° Leo squares Uranus at 13° Taurus around July 3-4, suggesting an accident-prone first week of July.
This waxing square is turbulent and points to unexpected changes of course as well as disruptions.
There is a huge fight for freedom, playing the rebel and avoiding restrictions and constraints.
This waxing aspect points to some urgency, quick and immediate actions that are needed.
Around July 6, Mercury at 23° Gemini squares Neptune at 23° Pisces while Venus at 12° Leo opposes Saturn at 12° Aquarius, resulting in disappointment and deception.
Indeed, the Mercury-Neptune square between both planets very strong in their own sign, suggest lies, untruths, deception, miscommunication, misunderstandings and secrecy.
There are nebulous and unclear situations going on, resulting in misinformation or disinformation.
You may be easily misled now.
The Venus-Saturn opposition blocks heartfelt affections and points to a cold shower in matters of love and romance.
Love relationships may cool off and/or are lived in a detached or distant way.
Separation from loved ones and break-ups are to be expected.
Financially speaking, there can be some hardship too due to a lack of funds or financial restrictions/blockages.
Venus at 14° Leo squares Uranus at 14° Taurus around July 8.
This waxing square enjoys being single and/or different and shows it.
Indeed, you may change your dress code or appearance in some way to celebrate your freedom or being different.
This aspect often indicates flirtatious behavior and non-committal friendships as well.
Around the July 10-11 New Moon, Mercury enters Cancer.
There are messages, some kind of news or information and/or documents that have an emotional impact on many.
Some of you may receive news about or from the mother.
Venus and Mars meet at 19° Leo around July 13.
Any time both planets are in a major aspect, there is a clash between two different needs and urges.
In reality, this manifests in inappropriate behavior, crossing boundaries and lines, resulting in accidents and clashes.
However, on a positive note, it also triggers passionate feelings and may bring love at first sight for some (especially for the fire signs Aries, Leo and Sagittarius and the air sign Aquarius alike).
As long as both planets reside in fiery Leo, the love life of the fire signs may blossom.
Following astrometeorology, both planets in the hottest sign of the zodiac may still show high temperatures.
Venus enters Virgo and at the same time opposes Jupiter at 0° Pisces while the Sun enters its own sign Leo around July 21-22.
Venus is in the sign of its detriment while Jupiter is stronger in Pisces (that it co-rules) and thus this opposition suggests a lack of harmony and balance.
Exaggeration and overdoing win here, resulting in expenses, financial losses and big spending.
Following astrometeorology, there can be heavy rain or precipitation here and there and some possible storms too.
Beware of power outages.
The Sun in its own sign Leo adds to the warm temps (the more so because Mars still resides in the same zodiac sign).
In self-conscious Leo, the Sun becomes aware of its sovereignty.
There can be chaotic living circumstances and some impulsive urges triggered by emotional responses.
Around July 28, Mercury enters Leo, retrograde Jupiter re-enters Aquarius and Venus at 7° Virgo squares the Lunar Nodes.
You may feel disappointed, betrayed and/or concerned about some secrecy.
You have it difficult with relating or connecting and/or may face a financial setback.
Around July 29, Mars at 29° Leo opposes Jupiter and immediately thereafter enters Virgo.
The attentive reader will have noticed that there are 5 planets/bodies changing signs in one week time (Venus and Mars entered Virgo, the Sun and Mercury entered Leo and Jupiter re-entered Aquarius), making for an extremely busy week.
The Mars-Jupiter opposition tends to over-promote and be carried away for some humanitarian cause.
Now that both Venus and Mars are in the earth sign Virgo, they will give the love life of all earth signs (Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn) as well as the water sign Pisces a boost.
You may meet love at the working floor as long as Venus resides in Virgo.
Generally speaking, August 1, 17, 21, 22 and 29 are "less lucky" days.
Try not to initiate any major projects on these dark, unfortunate, chaotic and empty days (no proposals, no marriages, no changes of residence,...) because things may not go as planned or wished.
In the 45° dial, there are also a couple of powerful midpoint combos between outer planets going on that will be exact this month and that will mark this month's Zeitgeist.
The Uranus/Neptune and Pluto/Chiron midpoints (UR/NE = PL/CH) both equal each other.
Additionally, Pluto hits the Jupiter/Neptune midpoint (PL = JU/NE) this month.
The UR/NE = PL/CH planetary picture suggests, among others, the internet outages affecting many, the tragic floods or inundations, the numerous missing persons, the chaos imposed by higher forces/powers or "karma", the massive power to turn the rules upside down.
The PL = JU/NE midpoint combination on the other hand is indicative of, among others, financial issues, the big financial (or market) crash, huge expenses or financial losses, the big scandal(s) or corruption or fraud, fanaticism based upon beliefs or perceptions or imagination, the suppression of some ideologies, the big waste.
There is evidence that this midpoint is involved in drownings and severe water-related issues (floods, inundations, profound precipitation, torrential rain) as well.
Around August 1, Mercury at 10° Leo opposes Saturn at 10° Aquarius, suggesting some information and/or documents being withheld or just delayed.
There are blockages and/or restrictions that may prevent you to say, post or think something.
Understand that all oppositions that involve restrictive, limiting, blocking Saturn indicate a NO to whatever question arises.
Information, articles, writings, messages etc. are controlled and/or even rejected.
Something can be annulled also.
Usually, when Mercury and Saturn build a challenging aspect, there is some "bad" or sad news to be expected and everything related to communication and transportation tends to be(come) a rocky experience.
Expect a bummer around these days.
Following astrometeorology, Mercury-Saturn aspects show grey, clouded and overcast weather.
The day after, around August 2, the Sun at 10° Leo opposes Saturn too at 10° Aquarius.
The Sun is very strong and powerful in its own sign, suggesting that some powerful person (a VIP, celebrity, leader of state, minister etc.) faces a "no", a setback and is not allowed to "shine" fully.
Your own creative self-expression too cannot unfold properly and you feel hindered in your "Life Force."
Some health issues may be noticeable too.
Anyway, don't expect too much things going as you wish these first August days.
The current energies are just restricting and limiting.
Around the same day of August 9-10, Venus at 22° Virgo opposes Neptune at 22° Pisces while Mars at 7° Virgo squares the Lunar Nodes.
There are longings and unfulfilled wishes and you are possibly separated from a beloved one.
Regular readers of our monthly forecasts know already that the Mars-Lunar Nodes squares are challenging and called a bloody combo, suggesting that accidents, natural disasters, shootings etc. might cause physical injuries and even death for many or for a group of people.
Indeed, it's a violent combo and this time, the transiting Moon too will conjunct Mars and square the Nodes...
Mercury at 28° Leo opposes Jupiter at 28° Aquarius around the same day of August 10-11, suggesting the publication of or publicity pertaining to documents, letters or information.
There is some public announcement going on.
Mercury enters its own sign Virgo around August 11.
It's time for some detailed analysis and a selective investigation.
Health and menial work take the upper hand during Mercury's stay in this sign of health and work.
Some work may require or even demand lots of meticulous work.
Also beware of an increase in annoying insects.
Following astrometeorology, there can be some cooler temps but also (more?) rain here and there.
Around August 16, Venus enters its own sign Libra, pointing to (new) agreements, contracts, meetings and encounters.
There can be gatherings and social events going on that attract a large crowd.
Some of you may start a new job or project.
Mercury and Mars conjoin at 12° Virgo while the Sun at 27° Leo opposes Jupiter at 27° Aquarius and Uranus stations and turns backward at 14° Taurus, all happening around August 18-19.
The Mercury-Mars conjunction often coincides with road, traffic and/or transportation accidents.
Fast driving, impulsive or inattentive behavior may often be the cause of such accidents.
Beware of cuts and physical injuries, generally speaking.
This aspect can be quite vocal so that it's best to not be too impatient and argumentative.
The Sun-Jupiter opposition wants too much, more than it can deliver.
There is exaggeration, some situation is overblown and the question of responsibility and accountability might arise.
Often, Sun-Jupiter aspects suggest some careless behavior but also a period of moralizing, propagating.
Stationing Uranus in the earth sign Taurus will now affect the lives of all Aquarians and Aquarius Ascendants.
You may feel down a bit or face some health issues and overall, things don't go as you wish for around the station.
Stationing Uranus is able to bring us all suddenly down (to earth) for a moment though.
There can be some difficulty to sleep and you may feel more irritated.
Following astrometeorology, stationing Uranus may coincide with storms and/or thunder.
In the earth sign Taurus of money, comfort and possessions, stationing Uranus is able to stir and even shake things up quite a bit.
Because the degree area of 14° Taurus is linked to some material crisis situation (the disruption or even loss of possessions, money, comfort and the like), we expect numerous more issues related to natural disasters and the financial market or material damage in some way.
The Sun at 6° Virgo squares the mean Lunar Nodes around the same day of August 28-29, often marking a period of stress, poor judgement and highly unstable conditions, with the coming weeks following the aspect also being notable in terms of disasters and extreme natural phenomena.
This is the more so because the Black Moon (Lilith, not the body but the mean lunar apogee) will exactly conjoin the Lunar North Node early September.
So, a heads up that some natural disasters (earthquakes, earth slides, etc.) are possible to follow and/or increase in number.
During this month of September, there are no planetary configuration affecting some birthdays in particular.
Generally speaking, September 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27 and 28 are "less lucky" days.
Try not to initiate any major projects on these dark, unfortunate, chaotic and empty days (no proposals, no marriages, no changes of residence,...) because things may not go as planned or wished.
In the 45° dial, there are a couple of powerful midpoint combos between outer planets going on that will be exact this month and that will mark this month's Zeitgeist.
The Neptune/Pluto midpoint hits Jupiter (JU = NE/PL) while Pluto hits the Saturn/Chiron midpoint (PL = SA/CH).
The JU = NE/PL midpoint is indicative of, among others, greatly developing (spiritual) insight, the bankruptcies, the addictions (drugs, medication etc.), the drowning(s), the immense or unstoppable precipitation and/or rain, the floods and inundations, to play games, to act something out, the increasing social or political pressure, the developing desire to enjoy a better future.
The PL = SA/CH midpoint, on the other hand, is one of the harshest ones to experience.
All Saturn/Chiron midpoints are harsh, especially on a physical and/or material level, but when intense Pluto enters the picture, it adds some darkness and always has a (traumatic) emotional connotation.
Hence, this midpoint may bring quite some (material and/or physical) intense and traumatic hardship here and there.
It might present definite turning points, without any turning back at all because the past is "lost" or over and "the bridge that is crossed is burned."
Around September 2, Mars at 22° Virgo opposes Neptune at 22° Pisces, suggesting wasted energy, betrayal and/or abusive behavior.
Because Neptune is the stronger one, powerful in its own sign, some activities may not continue or even start.
Beware of secret actions and activities or events happening behind the back.
Following mundane astrology, the Mars-Neptune opposition may coincide with raging fires and/or wildfires.
Around the September 7 New Moon, the Black Moon and the Lunar North Node are conjunct at 5° Gemini.
When in the past both points were in an exact challenging aspect, they brought quite some misery for many (these challenging aspects happen in March and September).
Interestingly, the September aspects often coincide with "bad weather", among others:
September 2003: landslides and floods in China forced a half-million people from their homes (conjunction aspect)
September 2006: hurricane Bermuda (opposition aspect)
September 2009: flash floods in Turkey, severe storms in Argentina and Brazil (conjunction aspect)
September 2012: earthquake and storms China (opposition aspect)
September 2015: extreme weather Japan (conjunction aspect)
September 2018: earthquakes China (opposition aspect)
September 2021: ? (conjunction aspect)
The New Moon reinforces these outcomes as the degree of this New Moon happens at 14° Virgo, a degree of floods, drownings, inundations and other big water-related issues but also a degree of gas leaks and/or gas explosions.
Be prepared for such events because the powerful Pluto/mean Lunar North Node midpoint is now at 29° Pisces, a degree associated with inundations and floods etc. as well.
Venus enters Scorpio, the degree of its fall, around September 10 and is interested not only in love making, but also in shared resources (taxes, debt, inheritances, legacies, insurances etc.).
There can be financial topics on the agenda and/or expenses.
The September 20-21 Full Moon at 28° Pisces, a dissolving degree, suggests water-related issues (floods, inundations, lots of precipitation, and also drownings).
Mercury at 24° Libra squares Pluto at 24° Capricorn around September 22 while the Sun enters Libra.
The waning Mercury-Pluto aspect points to the news of a death, as well as protests, disagreements, tenaciously combating one's ideas and opinions.
There is annoyance and some anger in the air.
There can be large gatherings and/or manifestations going on because of the entrance of the Sun in Libra.
Venus at 14° Scorpio opposes Uranus at 14° Taurus around September 23, disrupting the balance and status quo.
Venus is the dispositor of Uranus because Uranus is in the Sign ruled by Venus and thus this opposition by a weak Venus (in the sign of its detriment) opposing Uranus in the sign it rules, is nothing less but turbulent and erratic, especially on a financial or material level.
It tends to break up some relationships too and suggests a distance with (a) loved one(s).
For some of you, this aspect can be very exciting though, coinciding with a short-lived enjoyable encounter and/or love at first sight.
Generally speaking, October 3, 6 and 11 are "less lucky" days.
Try not to initiate any major projects on these dark, unfortunate, chaotic and empty days (no proposals, no marriages, no changes of residence,...) because things may not go as planned or wished.
In the 45° dial, there are a couple of powerful midpoint combos between outer planets going on that will be exact this month and that will mark this month's Zeitgeist.
The lingering Neptune/Pluto midpoint hits Jupiter (JU = NE/PL) again while the Uranus/Neptune midpoint hits the Pluto/Chiron midpoint (UR/NE = PL/CH).
The lingering JU = NE/PL midpoint is indicative of, among others, greatly developing (spiritual) insight, the bankruptcies, the addictions (drugs, medication etc.), the drowning(s), the immense or unstoppable precipitation and/or rain, the floods and inundations, to play games, to act something out, the increasing social or political pressure, the developing desire to enjoy a better future.
The UR/NE = PL/CH midpoint combination, on the other hand, is indicative of, among others, the internet outages or disruptions, the internet or digital or virtual world influencing the masses, virtual reality influencing the masses, the massive chaos and confusion, the uncertainty about the future, the floods and/or inundations, the chaos, the desperation, the big leap in spiritual insight and awareness, the unreal is happening, the psychological trauma, stepping over the line with a point of no return, big unrest and irritation.
Still around the same period of October 6, Pluto stations and turns direct at 24° Capricorn.
Stationing Pluto in the sign of the outer skin, fences, boundaries and the like often coincides with natural disasters that are related to the earth's crust like earthquakes, earth-slides, mining and underground disasters etc.
This can be a stormy period as well as Pluto is now in its most intense phase.
Because the station happens at a very harsh degree of things "moving", tyranny and collapsing structures, we additionally expect lots (of scandals) to come out into the open from now on.
Pluto might have been able to dig deep (underground) while it was retrograde and now that it is able to start to move forward, chances are it will start to reveal investigative work with things being brought to the surface.
Stationing Pluto can indicate shocking experiences and/or events as Pluto rules a water sign (Scorpio) and is always involved in situations that have a huge emotional impact.
This whole New Moon period is certainly to become an eye-opener, bringing lots out into the open, into the public.
This is the more so because the New Moon is at 13° Libra, a very public degree of publicity, releasing or disclosing things, big announcements and spreading news far and wide.
Venus enters Sagittarius around October 7, indicating news spreading far and wide indeed and lots of money transactions.
Foreign and international affairs are on the agenda.
Some of you may receive messages, letters, parcels, presents from a loved one "abroad", living in a far-away place.
Love is met when dealing with foreigners or people of another class or society.
The Sun and Mars conjoin at 15° Libra, a so-called "critical degree", around October 7-8.
This is a very passionate combo, especially on this degree area, and either it indicates love at first sight, sudden exciting connections that may be temporary, a love affair, or sudden heavy clashes, fights, violence, disagreements and physical injuries.
Generally speaking, this combo has to learn to respect boundaries (in the widest sense of the word).
Around October 17, the Sun at 24° Libra squares Pluto at 24° Capricorn, suggesting suffering because of suppression, enforced rules and harsh directives.
Around October 18, Jupiter stations at 22° Aquarius while Mercury too stations and turns direct again at 10° Libra.
Both planets stationing and turning direct around the same time, bring relief and some news or an announcement.
When Mercury stations, Geminis and Virgos (and Gemini Ascendants and Virgo Ascendants) will rejoice.
There can be an enjoyable encounter or meeting today.
Stationing Jupiter going direct slowly brings more optimism but tends to overdo as well.
Following mundane astrology, stationing Mercury often coincides with protests, manifestations and/or strikes.
Stationary going direct Jupiter more often coincides with fires.
Mars at 24° Libra squares Pluto at 24° Capricorn around October 21-22, which is quite a violent combo.
Following mundane astrology, this waning square often coincides with natural disasters and conflicts.
It's a period of turmoil and the resulting damage.
Often, this square coincides with power outages, blackouts, internet outages etc.
Generally speaking, November 12 is a "less lucky" day.
Try not to initiate any major projects on this dark, unfortunate, chaotic and empty day (no proposals, no marriages, no changes of residence,...) because things may not go as planned or wished.
In the 45° dial, there are a couple of powerful midpoint combos between outer planets going on that will be exact this month and that will mark this month's Zeitgeist.
The Chiron/mean Lunar North Node midpoint hits Neptune (NE = CH/KN) while the Uranus/mean Lunar North Node midpoint hits the Neptune/Pluto midpoint (UR/KN = NE/PL).
The NE = CH/KN midpoint is indicative of, among others, deception in relationships or connections, unclear or chaotic situations for many or for a group of people, the illness affecting many, the deceptive changes affecting relationships or connecting.
The UR/KN = NE/PL midpoint combination, on the other hand, is indicative of, among others, upsetting disruptions in a group, community or society; upsetting betrayal or fraud or secrecies in some group; consternation about hidden or secret groups or societies or organized crime; new technologies to control pollution; the upsetting chronic illnesses and/or slowly developing health issues; the breakdown in health or medical or social care systems; the catastrophe.
Following astrometeorology, this planetary picture may indicate lots of precipitation here and there, leading to quite some disruption for a group or many people.
Around November 2, Mercury at 24° Libra squares Pluto at 24° Capricorn again, suggesting obsessively fighting windmills.
There is annoyance and vexation around.
Some information or documents are under investigation.
This waning square also suggests lots of criticism and insinuations that still have to be proven or that are under research.
Following astrometeorology, there can be intense wind here and there.
The November 4 New Moon at 12° Scorpio opposes Uranus at 12° Taurus, suggesting a period of turmoil, full of unsettling and disturbing energies.
Some crisis situation with a financial and/or material impact has to be tackled.
Following astrometeorology, there can be lots of precipitation here and there resulting in floods and inundations.
Also beware of stormy weather and other possible natural disasters with the resulting damages and collapses of structures.
Around November 5, Venus enters Capricorn, suggesting attracting partners from governments, the corporate or the banking world.
In this position, Venus focuses on big money and those who have it.
In other words, love is now a matter of money.
Capricorn is very business-minded also and you may possibly find higher-ups or older people more attractive.
It's a good time for beautification of whatever kind as well.
Around the same day of November 5, Mercury enters Scorpio.
Any time Mercury of transportation enters Scorpio via the so-called "gates of death" (0° Scorpio), there is an increased risk of severe transportation and/or traffic accidents.
In investigative Scorpio, curious Mercury is going to investigate something to the bottom, dig it up and release the analysis later fully.
Also, some of you may get some news or document related to insurances, loans, taxes, inheritances etc.
Mercury and Mars conjoin at 7° Scorpio while both squaring Saturn at 7° Aquarius around November 10.
Needless to say that any configuration involving these three planets is indicative of harsh disputes, debates and arguments.
There is some "malefic" intent noticeable and you better avoid any emotional reactions just now.
There is a lack of tolerance, understanding and deeper insight and bitterness prevails.
Because both Mercury and Mars are in a waning square with Saturn, this aspect points to a bitter and very unreasonable fight full of hate.
Keep your head cool.
Also, because Saturn represents authorities and authority figures, they will try to keep the last word and block any activity, manifestation or protest fiercely.
Additionally, this astrological configuration may point to news or information about the death of someone.
Also, fatal traffic and/or transportation accidents are another possible outcome on a more mundane level.
This is the more so because the degree area of 7° in fixed signs is linked to painful separation(s), encounters with death, "dying love" and/or "fated" or "karmic" endings.
Following astrometeorology, beware of storms with resulting damage here and there.
The November 19 Lunar Eclipse at 27° Taurus marks a turning point of some kind.
It will become visible that not all those in power are protected.
Generally speaking, this degree area suggests an auspicious outcome and some situations may change for the better, especially when they are related to or connected with a group of people, or a community etc.
This Full Moon phase especially favors social gatherings, getting together (and may even include some sort of celebration).
Some information will likely be more accessible or disclosed.
However, because this Lunar Eclipse is also conjunct the Fixed Star Algol, the "Demon Star", the most evil Fixed Star positioned at 26° Taurus, we will have to find out if the numerical degree of the Eclipse at 27° Taurus prevails and is more powerful than the degree area of Algol at 26° Taurus.
It's also unknown how bright or dark the Fixed Star Algol is as it's a variable star that is more detrimental in its darkest phase and more auspicious in its brightest phase.
Hence, this Lunar Eclipse is still kind of a wildcard that may have some beneficial, but also some extremely harmful influences.
In its most detrimental effects, this Lunar Eclipse conjunct the Fixed Star Algol might be related to anger, severe (chronic or lingering) illness, rage and/or ruthless violence, deaths (in the Far Eastern countries Algol is called the star of the piled-up corpses).
It might also coincide with a hard period, especially physically (for whatever reason or in whatever way).
Around the same period of November 21-22, the Sun enters Sagittarius.
Foreign affairs are on the agenda, as well as something with legal consequences that went public.
The Sun at 1° Sagittarius opposes the mean Lunar North Node around November 23, indicative of a time frame during which emotions may run high and lots of nervous tension may be noticeable.
Mercury closely follows the Sun and enters Sagittarius around November 24.
There is news about fraud or corruption, spanning many countries.
Also, there are many changes of the place, lots of travel going on.
Everything seems to be moving.
Documents related to foreign countries may be in the news.
Around November 25, Mercury at 1° Sagittarius opposes the mean Lunar North Node, suggesting lots of buzz and a highly hectic period with lots going on.
Some decision, document or announcement is rejected or withdrawn and it looks like strict and harsh reasoning are the reflection of the current energies.
There is some coldness in the air, literally or figuratively and the mind or intellect currently overrules the heart.
Some plans will be cancelled with longings unfulfilled.
Prepare for false information also (fake news, hoaxes, false rumors etc.).
On a more mundane level, beware of transportation and/or traffic accidents with many casualties.
Because of Neptune's station on December 1 at 20° Pisces, some of you will already feel its deceptive or disappointing influence late November.
At a so-called "motherly degree", it will also have some influence on "mothers" and the caring motherly/maternal (female) principles.
What this means is that this station might trigger one of the following outcomes, among others, and especially in women: the separation from the mother (for whatever reason), a changed perception of what care is or should be, pregnancy, domestic changes, changing the haircut or dress code, changing the job or fields of interest, taking a more independent course, becoming more distant or detached in your relationships (in the widest sense).
Generally speaking, this station is meant to bring situations that allow you to become more independent, detached, so to give you the opportunity to develop yourself more and become stronger overall.
You may feel tired during the station and may need much more rest too.
Following astrometeorology, stationing Neptune often coincides with lots of precipitation (rain, mist, ...) which can be heavy here and there.
Generally speaking, there are no "less lucky" days (dies atri) in December.
In the 45° dial, there are numerous powerful midpoint combos between outer planets going on that will be exact this month and that will mark this month's Zeitgeist.
There are complicated combos involved that are difficult to delineate and that we will not discuss for that reason.
We would like to mention one planetary picture that is still lingering on and is part of it all: PL = JU/NE = NE/mean Lunar North Node.
This planetary picture suggests, among others: to experience disharmony in society or in a group of people, not being able to tolerate someone or some others or a group, the (huge) financial losses, market crashes, the increased need to isolate from a group or from society, to suffer depression alone and silently, the big scandals and underworld activities.
Around December 1, Neptune stations at 20° Pisces and turns direct again.
At a so-called "motherly degree", Neptune will also have some influence on "mothers" and the caring motherly/maternal (female) principles.
What this means is that this station might trigger one of the following outcomes, among others, and especially related to women: the separation from the mother (for whatever reason), a changed perception of what care is or should be, pregnancy, domestic changes, changing the haircut or dress code, changing the job or fields of interest, taking a more independent course, becoming more distant or detached in your relationships (in the widest sense).
Generally speaking, this station is meant to bring situations that allow you to become more independent, detached, so to give you the opportunity to develop yourself more and become stronger overall.
You may feel tired during the station and may need much more rest too.
Pisceans and Pisces Ascendants may now rejoice a bit because their life will be on track again slowly.
Don't forget to analyze your dreams during the station.
Following astrometeorology, stationing Neptune often coincides with lots of precipitation (snow, rain, mist, ...) which can be severe here and there.
Around December 4, the Solar Eclipse (a perigee New Moon) at 12° Sagittarius is exactly inconjunct turbulent, upsetting and disruptive Uranus, urging us to suddenly change course.
Regular readers of our monthly forecasts know that we always delineate the Solar Eclipses based on the keen research by astrologer Bernadette Brady.
However, this time we will not do that because the information in her book about the start of this particular Eclipse Saros Cycle 5 South differs from the official NASA catalog of Solar Eclipses (as found out by Federico Flueckiger).
Hence, we cannot rely on her findings for this one and will have to await a revised update of her book "The Eagle and the Lark" that is scheduled for release in June 2022.
This particular Solar Eclipse takes place at a very auspicious degree, in some way.
Indeed, 12° Sagittarius is told to enhance life, improve situations and even points to not getting enough of something.
It represents "too much of a good thing" that may turn things upside down completely (for good or ill).
However, this particular Eclipse also represents a test phase of balancing external rules and regulations with personal freedom.
The more trans-personal regulations suffocate the people, the more this Solar Eclipse will swing to the other side; resulting in extremely freedom-loving behavior and even rebellion (confirmed by the inconjunct with Uranus).
This Solar Eclipse will learn a very powerful lesson: life and society is not about external restrictions and boundaries but by how we experience freedom on an inner intuitive level.
This means that artificial restrictive life situations will result in breaking up and breaking free.
Hence, this Solar Eclipse marks the start of a very accident-prone, shocking and turbulent period (that will transpire during the coming 6 months).
People will likely separate, break up etc. if they intuitively can no longer cope with artificial or fake regulations, relationships, jobs or...
This is the Solar Eclipse of whistle blowers also that will likely increase manifold in the weeks and months to come!
Hence, this degree area also marks the "falling off of masks" (literally and figuratively).
Be aware and do understand that this Solar Eclipse points to an increase in pressure to suppress the inner intuition further and enforce submission by increasing more apparent, fake, sham, false, feigned situations that will ultimately (have to) lead to rebellion and revolution.
The more pressure, the more rebellion will follow and the more freedom will be the end result (it's part of the universal laws of polarity and balance).
According to German empirical research, the degree area around 12°30' Sagittarius coincides with separation from the mother, separation from or in the family, some sadness related to maternal and family influences.
It looks like this Solar Eclipse suggests that people, families will not be able to connect properly or at all, here and there.
There are painful unfulfilled longings because of "someone" missing.
Hence, the end of the year may bring quite some "depression" here and there, with feelings of (a threat of) loss, being fired, being totally on one's own with one's self.
As mentioned already, understand that this period of time seems to be meant to learn to stand on your own, develop yourself to get rid of false and fake external pressures.
Mercury at 20° Sagittarius squares stationing Neptune at 20° Pisces around December 7, suggesting some health issues (flu like symptoms or a cold, often involving the lungs), not being able to think clearly, to be confused and lots of messages or news to process.
This waning square in which Neptune is very powerful in its own sign and Mercury very weak in the sign of its detriment, suggests being overwhelmed by the many details and information and facing distorted facts.
Beware of lies, betrayal, fake news and hoaxes.
This is a period of forgetting things and miscommunication too.
Mars at 26° Scorpio squares Jupiter at 26° Aquarius, around December 8.
This waning square in fixed signs is indicative of legal battles or fights, especially related to freedom and independence.
Something unlawful is going on and some carelessness is involved too.
Venus stations at 26° Capricorn (still widely conjunct Pluto) and turns retrograde around December 19.
Whenever Venus turns backward, it's not advised to buy any costly products as it will prove to be a waste of money with the products being below par, not living up to what they should have been, or being more useless than expected.
Also, everything that is related to beautification of the body, should be delayed or postponed until Venus is direct again.
Retrograde Venus in business-minded Capricorn becomes yet more interested in money and materialism than ever.
Love comes very expensive now ;)
Because Venus also rules relationships, there is an increased chance of relationships being under review and re-evaluated now too.
The ability to express love or be affectionate is less during retrograde Venus periods.
If you are Taurus or Libra (or have Taurus or Libra on the Ascendant), you may feel down around the period of the station, things will not go as wished for or you may face some setback.
The Sun enters Capricorn around December 21, resulting in a powerful stellium in this zodiac sign because, beside the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Pluto too are in the earth sign Capricorn.
A stellium in strict or rigid Capricorn increases the risks of focusing on stricter regulations and boundaries again.
This stellium is tightening the belt.
Chances are, the festive period will not be as festive as wished for here and there.
It's likely there will be some financial hardship here and there as well.
Around December 22-23, the mean Lunar North Node enters the earth sign Taurus (the true Lunar North Node will follow in January 2022).
Clearly, December 2021 and January 2022 mark a shift in how the coming months will go as the Lunar Nodes change signs (switching from the mutable Gemini-Sagittarius axis of travel and movement to the fixed Taurus/Scorpio of finances, money, possessions and resources).
The transiting Nodes in the Taurus-Scorpio axis will raise existential questions and bring the collective focus on possessions, material goods, finances, money and income, debt, loans, etc.
Additionally, with the Lunar South Node in Scorpio of the underworld, abuse and fertility, among others, we expect some issues connected with these Scorpio topics to be part of the coming Zeitgeist.
This is a very materialistic axis in some way that will bring some crisis situations about that might hit us in our comfort zone during the coming 18 months or so.
Saturn at 11° Aquarius squares Uranus at 11° Taurus around December 24.
Any Saturn-Uranus aspect tends to indicate falls (from heights), literally and figuratively (be it structures, objects or people...) and hence some air crashes and collapsing buildings or systems are likely to occur during this aspect.
All Saturn-Uranus aspects are tense and stressful as they both represent very differing and even incompatible energies.
Imposing restrictions will be met with huge resistance as in the current phase, Saturn will be obliged to submit to the desires of Uranus.
Hence, there is still a clash going on between being strict or being free.
Following astrometeorology, the exact Saturn-Uranus square in fixed signs in winter coincides with really ice cold weather here and there.
Venus and Pluto conjoin again at 25° Capricorn around December 25 but this time Venus is retrograde.
Jupiter at 29° Aquarius squares the mean Lunar Nodes around December 27, reflecting some legal entanglements and/or travel plans and journeys not going as wished for.
Around December 29, Jupiter enters Pisces, the sign it co-rules while Mercury and Venus meet at 24° Capricorn.
The last week of December 2021 and early January 2022, Jupiter is at 29° Aquarius, a so-called critical degree, adding to the likelihood of numerous divorces and relationship break-ups.
Also, there is a huge uncertainty about how the future will unfold and it looks like some people exaggerate in finding an outlet so to cope with some lost feelings.
The week may be noisy here and there.
Following astrometeorology, Jupiter between 29° Aquarius and 1° Pisces is likely to bring tons of precipitation, often resulting in severe snow- or water-related issues.
These end of the year days may be(come) quite chaotic here and there.
