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 the following specific planetary configurations of stationing outer planets that might affect some specific birthdays in particular:
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 some powerful and quite harsh and difficult midpoint combos between outer planets going on that will mark this month's Zeitgeist: the Jupiter/Saturn midpoint equals the Neptune/Chiron midpoint (JU/SA = NE/CH), the Saturn/Chiron midpoint equals the Uranus/Pluto midpoint (SA/CH = UR/PL), Pluto hits the Saturn/Neptune midpoint (PL = SA/NE) and, finally, Neptune equals the Saturn/Chiron midpoint (NE = SA/CH).
The JU/SA = NE/CH planetary picture suggests, among others: issues with real estate and/or buildings or homes, water-related issues (floods, inundations among others).
We at Cosmic Technologies, have found this planetary picture to above average indicate quite some damage to property, buildings, homes etc. for whatever reason.
The SA/CH = UR/PL planetary picture is indicative of, among others: turmoil and (material) damage.
We at Cosmic Technologies, have found this planetary picture to above average indicate earthquakes and the resulting (severe) damage.
There is hardship, especially on a physical or material level and this is a very harsh planetary picture overall.
The PL = SA/NE midpoint suggests, among others: the depressed mood, to be totally down, the heavy atmosphere, to feel downtrodden, the potential loss, the intense fear, the chronic disease, the oppression, not being able to unfold or develop properly.
The NE = SA/CH midpoint suggests, among others: the collapse or destruction of (a) building(s), the chronic illness causing hardship, the sadness and pain.
Around January 1, Venus at 3° Sagittarius squares Saturn at 3° Pisces, which is always a sobering aspect, the more so because the square is waning.
This waning square suggests a lonely feeling, and also coincides with disappointments of all kinds.
Moreover, beware of financial issues, restrictions and not being able to socialize properly.
In matters of love and romance, this aspect indicates love's sorrow, a lack of affection, rejection and/or feeling misunderstood.
Around the same period of January 1-2, Mercury stations and turns forward again at 22° Sagittarius, presenting insight and the ability to change your opinion.
Some of you may be disappointed because of some news but the information is meant to help you in your own development.
Geminis and Virgos (and Gemini and Virgo Ascendants) will rejoice, as usual when their ruler moves forward again, as their life gets back on track again slowly.
Mercury re-enters Capricorn around January 13-14, presenting an official (and public) message or statement, an announcement from a government, governmental organization, leader of state or higher-up.
There are official documents or letters coming into the open.
Following astrometeorology, the temperature will drop here and there and in some areas there can be a very cold wind.
With four planets currently in the earth sign Capricorn (the Sun, Mercury, Mars and Pluto), there is an increased risk of earth-related disasters (earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides etc.) because Capricorn rules the surface of objects and Planet Earth as well.
Additionally, following astrometeorology, a stellium in cold Capricorn tends to drop the temperature here and there and increases the odds of storm and snow (in winter).
Capricorn stelliums are quite emotionless, lacking empathy while mechanically following a plan in a linear way, trying to reach a preset goal whatever it takes.
This can be a rather restrictive period in time for some of you.
If you are Aquarius or have Aquarius rising, you are currently in a treacherous period and some of you may feel ill also.
Beware of people working behind your back and it's best to just keep a low profile for the coming two or three weeks.
The January 17-18 First Quarter Moon at 27° Aries widely squares Pluto, still at the ending and so-called 'critical' degree of 29° Capricorn.
The degree of 27° Aries is associated with lots of precipitation, following astrometeorology.
According to mundane astrology, this degree area coincides with financial issues (debt, bankruptcy, market crashes, financial losses, etc.) and intense and profound existential changes that are meant to clear some past 'karma' or residue.
Also issues about petrol, gas and oil may arise as well.
Beware of misjudgments and intense emotions that may misguide you.
So, try to keep a distance.
On a more personal level, during this Moon phase period it's not recommended to date or bond as any relationship that starts now may not be what it is.
Legal issues will likely come out of it.
You may feel isolated during this period and tend to be(come) distrustful.
Around January 19, Venus at 25° Sagittarius squares Neptune at 25° Pisces, reinforcing relationship issues and disappointments.
There is love's sorrow, a mourning mood, and some of you may feel confused as well.
Relationships are dissolving.
Following astrometeorology, there is an increased chance of precipitation and downpours.
The Sun meets Pluto at 29° Capricorn right before entering Aquarius around January 20.
Moreover, the Sun 'pulls' Pluto with it as Pluto enters Aquarius too during the same period of January 20-21.
What this means astrologically, is that both the Sun and Pluto together are on the so-called 'critical' degree area of 29° Capricorn - 0° Aquarius.
Readers of our monthly forecasts may know in the meantime that this degree area coincides with emergencies, BIG U-turns, shocks, crisis situations and that it especially affects Royalties and the Vatican.
Late January might become a violent and accident-prone period full of uproar, turbulent events and experiences.
Pluto at 0° Aquarius has the intention to reform, to renew, to break free from chains and formalities and transform the old and conservative into something more future-proof.
Anytime Pluto entered liberating and freedom-loving Aquarius in the past, it resulted in the following events and/or experiences:
it had a huge impact on the Vatican (and centralized religions in a wider sense)
it resulted in reshaping and dissolving (centralized) monarchies
it changed the way of governing
it resulted in a new sexual revolution (liberating women, among others)
it resulted in revolutionary new technologies/inventions/discoveries
it resulted in uproar, revolts, revolutions
It will take 20+ years for Pluto to travel through this air sign and will most likely coincide with some inconvenient and disruptive events.
Aquarius is a very humanitarian, decentralized, detached, gender neutral, non-religious, cerebral (or mental) sign.
Hence, Pluto in Aquarius will bring back again power (Pluto) to the people as a whole, as a group (Aquarius).
Aquarius cannot stand hierarchy and centralized (patriarchal) power and in the coming months and years, this will start to become more noticeable when Pluto moves on in Aquarius, enforcing equality, fraternity and more humanitarian interests.
Understand that everything that now is still centralized (like power structures, energy, money, intelligence, governments, social media etc...) will NOT survive this heavy transit in the end.
Hence, monarchies who are basically a blend of centralized Leo (the sign opposite to Aquarius) and authoritarian Capricorn (the sign in the blind spot of Aquarius) energies, will start to crumble more and more and eventually disappear further down the road!
The same is true for religions that are based upon centralized power (like the Vatican, among others): in the end, they will NOT survive this powerful transit (note that transiting Pluto is also square the IC-MC axis in the current Pope's natal chart).
If you have to make choices now already, try to go and opt for decentralized things (social media, money, food, energy, communication,...).
Pluto in Aquarius will bring us "back" to the future with sustainable and natural high-tech solutions, cars and transportation without wheels (because Aquarius is an air sign; lifting everything up in the air), zero-point energy and what else.
However, beware of what can be distributed through air (drones, planes, balloons etc.) also, like poisonous or toxic stuff and how the 'air' can be manipulated or engineered (Pluto).
So, there still is a catch and every coin has two sides so that it won't be all rose scent and moonshine.
Because Pluto is connected to dark forces, the underworld, emotional trauma and burdens, the entrance of Pluto in Aquarius, the sign of the awakener and light-bringer, raises the odds that mental issues will start to surface more and more also the coming months and years.
This is the more so because the 29° Capricorn - 0° Aquarius degree area is also linked to mental breakdowns and psychological problems.
We expect the entrance of Pluto in Aquarius to bring such events to the foreground so that it will be necessary for the coming months and years to be very vigilant, stay firm and keep an eye on your mental health while everything turns upside down and gets more and more turbulent and disruptive.
Cognitive dissonance may play a role, but also some fanatical mental convictions that are not always right.
Focus on the liberating and freedom-loving traits (which may not be easy for those of you having predominant Capricorn traits who need strict rules and regulations to follow almost blindly).
Venus enters Capricorn around January 23.
With both Venus and Mars now in the earth sign Capricorn, the love life of Capricorn, Taurus and Virgo may get a boost till mid February 2024.
The same is true if your Ascendant is Cancer.
Some of you may certainly find love and this period will likely bring attraction and irresistible encounters.
The January 25 Full Moon at 5° Leo is exactly inconjunct Saturn at 5° Pisces and square Jupiter at 6° Taurus.
This Full Moon period has a sobering influence and tends to have a blocking effect as well.
An inconjunct aspect reflects something that is out of proportion and/or something or someone that or who is not present (in that sense there is detachment and/or separation).
It's indicative of a bummer, for whatever reason and in whatever way.
The degree area of 5° Leo coincides with a change of course, leaving the place of residence, moving, being on the go and/or being stuck somewhere foreign and/or between 2 choices.
Hence, some of you will be indecisive, cannot opt for 'the old' neither for 'the new' and you may feel stuck in a stalemate situation.
It's a very restless Full Moon that will allow you to try out something new, follow another path or route (literally or figuratively) by leaving the old.
Some of you may not really feel at home in some place and/or in some situation, resulting in uncertainty and stress.
Beware of issues with electronics, electricity and defects or outages as well as blocking traffic issues.
While Mercury and Mars meet at 17° Capricorn, Uranus stations at 19° Taurus and turns direct around January 27, almost always coinciding with stormy weather and, in wintertime, snowstorms here and there.
Stationing Uranus is disruptive, noisy and shocking.
Prepare for sleepless nights, events and/or experiences bringing you back to earth suddenly, and irritation, among others.
If you are Aquarius or have Aquarius rising, your life may start to slowly get back on track again.
The Mercury-Mars conjunction is indicative of haste, speed, and too impulsive behavior.
It's the classic aspect of traffic accidents, cuts and wounds and other physical injuries affecting the hands, arms or shoulders.
Decisions are made impulsively, and decisively as well as you might need to act quickly during these hectic and busy times.
Chances are you face tough deadlines.
However, patience and determination are needed too.
Beware of arguing, disputes and/or sarcasm and try not to insult because the degree meaning reinforces the Mercury-Mars symbolism.
Indeed, this aspect often coincides with conflicts that might be difficult to avoid.
And while both planets are still conjunct the day after around January 28, they both will square the Lunar Nodes.
Needless to say late January 2024 promises to present an extremely hectic and busy time frame full of interventions, tension, buzz, talks, conflict, accidents and breaking news.
Regular readers of our forecasts know without a doubt that we don't like Mars-Lunar Node aspects because they mark a period of physical injuries, accidents and/or violence affecting/injuring many people and causing numerous casualties as well.
During this month of February there are no specific planetary configurations of stationing outer planets that might affect some specific birthdays in particular.
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 some powerful midpoint combos between outer planets going on that will mark this month's Zeitgeist:
the Saturn/Uranus midpoint equals the Neptune/Pluto midpoint (SA/UR = NE/PL), exact around February 10,
Saturn equals the Uranus/Neptune midpoint (SA = UR/NE), exact around February 11,
Uranus hits the Saturn/Pluto midpoint (UR = SA/PL), exact around February 11 also and, finally,
around February 21, Saturn hits the Pluto/Chiron midpoint (SA = PL/CH).
The SA/UR = NE/PL planetary picture suggests, among others: the disruption and/or damage because of water-related issues (lots of precipitation, floods, inundations, maritime disasters etc.), the breaking of a dam.
The SA = UR/NE midpoint is indicative of, among others: the pessimism, the sadness, the mourning, to stay put, not seeing the future clearly, the issues because of water or precipitation or maritime issues, the internet issues.
The UR = SA/PL midpoint suggests, among others: the sudden collapse of (a) concrete or tall structure(s) or building(s), the sudden crash, the demolition, the brutal attack, the retaliation, the big storm.
The SA = PL/CH midpoint suggests, among others: the devastation, the destruction, the severe oppression.
Around February 1 and 2, Mars at 21° Capricorn squares the degree of the October 14, 2023 Solar Eclipse (which happened at 21° Libra).
Anytime Mars hits the same numerical degree in a sign, and especially from a square or opposition aspect, it triggers, ignites the Eclipse, resulting in some (mundane) (violent) event or accident.
Mercury enters Aquarius around February 5 and is about to conjunct Pluto right away on the same day.
Both Mercury and Pluto together at the degree of emergencies and crisis situations, presage breaking news about (a) (tragic) death(s), severe traffic and/or transportation accidents, among others.
It's a very investigative and analytical combination as well.
Beware of vexation and don't be too obsessive.
Try to relax and relieve your mind.
Following astrometeorology, tight Mercury-Pluto aspects are indicative of fierce wind (storm) resulting in damage here and there.
Venus at 17° Capricorn squares the true Lunar Nodes around February 6, suggesting some discomfort while socializing or feeling misunderstood.
A date may not go as wished and in some cases an appointment may be cancelled or go awry.
Currently, connecting and relating do not come easy.
Around February 8, the Sun at 19° Aquarius squares Uranus, its own dispositor, at 19° Taurus, just prior to the February 9 perigee New Moon at 20° Aquarius.
This is a very potent and disruptive and shocking SuperMoon period, the more so because of the square aspect involving its own dispositor.
Around these days, some of you will be obliged to move, change or leave the place.
Whatever now happens, happens under pressure and force (majeure).
There is some obligation involved.
Some of you will be obliged to connect or merge with others, build or connect to a group or community.
In some instances, this New Moon period might bring people together through a marriage, even though it's likely to become a rocky relationships and or a disruptive one in the end, unless it's built on highly individualistic and independent principles.
Around the same day of February 13, Mars enters Aquarius and will conjunct Pluto the day after, around February 14 at 0° Aquarius.
All Mars-Pluto conjunctions are brutal and the more so when they happen at 0° Aquarius, a so-called 'critical degree', representing crisis situations, huge U-turns, shocks and emergencies.
This is truly a violent and accident-prone combination, indicating man-made and/or natural disasters as well.
Beware of power outages and, following astrometeorology, heavy wind (and storm) here and there.
The entrance of Mars in Aquarius brings now 4 planets/bodies (the Sun, Mercury, Mars and Pluto -- in a couple of days, Venus will take the Sun's place) which is called a stellium, in this air sign, adding to a very windy and even stormy course of the coming days and weeks indeed.
Expect the temperatures to drop profoundly too here and there with chilly weather as long as the stellium lasts (after February 24 the situation will fade slowly).
We are currently shifting from a predominant earth element that marked the past weeks to a predominant air element (resulting in more issues coming 'from above', 'out of the air' rather than coming from 'down-to-earth').
On a more personal level, if you are Pisces or have Pisces rising, you are now entering a treacherous period until late February, with people working behind your back.
You may not feel too well or experience health issues as well.
Also, there is lots going on behind closed doors during this period.
If you are Aquarius or have Aquarius rising, expect a heavy workload, lots of additional responsibilities, and a testing time to help you in your personal development.
Domestic or real estate issues may arise as well.
The influence of this stellium in Aquarius on the other zodiac signs can be summarized as follows:
if you are Aries or have Aries rising: beware of accidents, injuries, disputes and clashes. Friendships and group activities may bring a heavy workload but also rivalry and power conflicts.
if you are Taurus or have Taurus rising: your status and/or reputation is under fire. You are very ambitious and tenacious, determined to push through or proceed with a project. Beware of blackmail. Your career may be up for some review or reorganization (as well as your employer).Your career is your main focus during this period.
if you are Gemini or have Gemini rising: foreigners and/or foreign affairs may bring a huge workload. Beware of legal issues. There is sorrow connected to foreigners or foreign affairs.
if you are Cancer or have Cancer rising: shared resources (debt, loans, insurances, banking affairs, legacies, taxes and possessions of others etc.) may be on the agenda. It's a time for money management. There are changes going on in the home environment, perhaps some repairs, renovations or modifications.
if you are Leo or have Leo rising: relationship issues and/or disputes with others are to be feared. Beware of power plays and tense conflicts.
if you are Virgo or have Virgo rising: health issues keep you busy as well as issues at the workplace. There are reorganizations going on with changes related to the daily living and working environment. You may have to process a lot of information related to your health.
if you are Libra or have Libra rising: your children become a focal point and you might have expenses related to them. There is some sorrow related to your children. In case you have no children, you are able to push through your creative self-expression and push through your desires and/or will, albeit in a forceful and demanding way. Beware of a backlash later on.
if you are Scorpio or have Scorpio rising: your domestic area, real estate, the home environment and the family are a huge concern during this period. There are some changes going on at home or in the family that cause some upsets and sorrow.
if you are Sagittarius or have Sagittarius rising: if you have siblings, they become a focal point. Beware of traffic and/or transportation accidents as well. There can be lots of changes of the place. Also, expect a lot of new information to be absorbed and processed so that it's a great time to study or learn something.
if you are Capricorn or have Capricorn rising: Beware of debt and your financial situation is a focal point. There can be big expenses and/or losses and money management is to be taken into account.
While Venus and Pluto meet at 0° Aquarius around February 17, Mercury at 19° Aquarius squares its own dispositor, Uranus, at 19° Taurus too.
Both aspects combined may coincide with the breaking news of the death of a (be)loved one or a woman.
The waning square between Mercury and Uranus suggests nervous tension, sudden changes of course or plan, restlessness and lots of noise and buzz.
Traffic and transportation can be disrupted here and there.
Following astrometeorology, both aspects have one thing in common: they coincide with heavy wind (storm) and heavy precipitation here and there.
Around February 19, the Sun enters Pisces, increasing the odds of precipitation here and there.
Pisces is a compassionate sign, with lots of artistic appeal and always willing to help.
The focus goes towards those who suffer or need help.
Around the same day of February 19, the true Lunar North Node conjoins Chiron at 16° Chiron (the mean Lunar North Node will do so around March 5-6 at 17° Aries so that we have another interesting comparison to see whether or not the true Node is more reliable than the mean Node).
This is a painful aspect, especially in matters of health.
Also, there can be upsets related to groups of people with some protests or manifestations going on.
This is not a good time to peacefully connect, rather disconnect, object or present blockages collectively.
Venus and Mars conjoin around February 22 at 6° Aquarius, a degree of the breaking of a dam, (water) leaks and structures or concrete buildings collapsing or something (structures) breaking/falling down, something bursting open suddenly.
The two opposing forces, Venus and Mars together, blend to a highly charged and passionate combination that coincides with crossing boundaries and/or lines (as all close Venus-Mars aspects do).
Hence, this combination represents clashes and crashes, accidents, inappropriate behavior and violence instead of peace.
It's a highly impatient combination, crossing lines (too) fast and bumping into others easily without thinking first.
What people often misinterpret as spontaneous action or behavior is actually not always knowing boundaries (with the resulting consequences).
Depending on your own natal horoscope, this powerful conjunction may turn out to be very sensual and passionate in a harmonious way too though.
Keen astrologer and researcher Michele Finey has thoroughly researched the Venus-Mars cycles (and written about in her book 'The Sacred Dance of Venus and Mars') and has found that Venus-Mars conjunctions mark radical social changes (even comparable to the Uranus-Pluto conjunction) but in a more personally accessible way, especially when both planets start a totally new cycle.
Mercury enters Pisces around February 22-23, marking more chaotic and confusing times ahead.
Still prepare for water-related issues, floods and inundations here and there but also beware of intoxication and/or food poisoning.
There can be a message about separation, leaving the place or changing the place, being forced and/or obliged to move to somewhere (else), and/or plans being cancelled.
For some of you, the current entrance of Mercury in Pisces marks an abdication, resignation, being fired, quitting and/or stepping down.
There may be bankruptcy as well.
With 4 planets/bodies now in Pisces (the Sun, Mercury, Saturn and Neptune) those of you born under the zodiac sign Aries or having Aries rising are entering a treacherous period that will last some months, unfortunately, having lingering health issues and/or with people working behind your back for some time.
Also, there is lots going on behind closed doors during this period.
You may feel isolated or confined.
If you are Pisces or have Pisces rising, expect a heavy workload, lots of responsibilities, and a testing time to help you in your personal development.
You might be called upon.
The influence of this stellium in Pisces on the other zodiac signs can be summarized as follows:
if you are Taurus or have Taurus rising: if you have children, it's possible a child will meet a partner or there can be a celebration related to the child. There can be sudden news related to a child, linked with a foreign country or a foreigner.
if you are Gemini or have Gemini rising: the domestic area (the home environment and the family) and real estate issues become important. A parent may be ill or need some help. Your boss or employer may experience lingering health issues.
if you are Cancer or have Cancer rising: for whatever reason, relationships or meetings or encounters on the one hand and foreigners or foreign affairs on the other hand are connected during this period.
if you are Leo or have Leo rising: lingering health issues might be concerning or annoying. You may hear news about a sudden passing of someone.
if you are Virgo or have Virgo rising: the illness or health situation of a partner may be a concern. Sorrow and relationships, in the widest sense, are intertwined during this time frame.
if you are Libra or have Libra rising: you may not feel too well and the workplace may bring some sorrow as well.
if you are Scorpio or have Scorpio rising: beware of a lazy period, not a really creative one. You might feel discontented, dissatisfied and experience a low.
if you are Sagittarius or have Sagittarius rising: some home repairs or renovations might be in place. Expect some expenses related to real estate, the home and/or family.
if you are Capricorn or have Capricorn rising: there can be health issues with a sibling. You may feel dissatisfied overall.
if you are Aquarius or have Aquarius rising: Money management is needed during this period. you may receive money or possessions from others but there are expenses also.
Following astrometeorology, a stellium in Pisces tends to cold and wet weather with more precipitation than usual (and just for your information: there will be an active Pisces stellium till April 2024).
The February 24 apogee Full Moon at 5° Virgo marks the end of a cycle, a milestone has been reached.
Though apogee New or Full Moons are technically speaking not called SuperMoons, from an astrological point of view they absolutely are in our opinion!
The pull and the push of the Moon's energies and forces are very potent in whatever way during apogee and perigee lunations!
The degree of 5° Virgo is told to be disruptive in that it points to the end of a chapter and the start of a new one.
Hence, possible separations and disruptions are actually meant to just bring on that new chapter.
It will be interesting to see what might happen around this whole Full Moon phase (a couple of days before the Full Moon and especially some days after), till approximately February 26 because Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are all around the same numerical degrees in a sign, building a so-called Small Learning Triangle.
Indeed, Venus and Mars together will be semi-sextile Saturn and square Jupiter, so that Jupiter and Saturn are necessarily building a sextile aspect.
Venus and Mars are opposite forces/energies, and the same is true for Jupiter and Saturn and it's not easy to forecast how this Small Learning Triangle containing 4 planets will actually work out.
Learning Triangles are known for their challenging nature, especially caused by the external environment or by external challenging situations that are supposed to trigger or activate a learning process, often by (subconsciously) demanding, urging to take action.
Opposing energies blended together may create some short-circuit, some clashes, disagreements, arguments, legal issues popping up, but other outcomes should not be ruled out at all.
Because of the Full Moon phase, it should bring awareness and be clear and visible for 'all to see', 'out in the open.'
Mars at 10° Aquarius squares Jupiter at 10° Taurus around February 27, following mundane astrology, a violent combo, the more so because the square is waning.
This waning square fights against (some) law(s) so that legal issues are part of the outcome.
Because of the impulsiveness, represented by Mars, the aspect indicates, among others: (financial) expenses, wasting possessions or money and/or material/physical losses.
Following astrometeorology, beware of stormy periods and precipitation here and there, the more so because Venus is still nearby.
During this month of March there are no specific planetary configurations of stationing outer planets that might affect some specific birthdays in particular.
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 are some powerful midpoint combos between outer planets going on that work out the whole month and will mark this month's Zeitgeist:
the Saturn/Neptune midpoint equals the Uranus/Chiron midpoint (SA/NE = UR/CH), exact around March 3,
Pluto equals the Jupiter/Chiron midpoint (PL = JU/CH), exact around March 20,
the Jupiter/Saturn midpoint hits the Neptune/Pluto midpoint (JU/SA = NE/PL), exact around March 27.
The SA/NE = UR/CH planetary picture suggests, among others: maritime and/or water-related issues (like inundations, floods,...), disruption because of lots of precipitation or extreme weather circumstances, uproar and/or tumult because of environmental issues or decay, the sudden loss/demise of a leader or politician or government.
The PL = JU/CH midpoint is indicative of, among others: the numerous casualties because of an explosion, the need and demand for real change, the breakthrough in health matters.
On a personal level, this midpoint tends to work out very well (unless natal Saturn is part of the picture or aspects your natal Sun).
Hence, if you are born around January 22, March 6, April 21, June 6-7, July 24, September 8-9, October 24 and December 8, there can be successful changes and developments going on.
The JU/SA = NE/PL midpoint suggests, among others: the water-related issues affecting homes or buildings, the floods or inundations, the heavy precipitation, the isolated houses or buildings, the dissatisfaction because of a chronic disease.
With 4 planets/bodies still in Pisces during the whole month of March (the Sun, Mercury, Saturn and Neptune -- and Mars will take the Sun's place later this month when the Sun has left Pisces) those of you born under the zodiac sign Aries or having Aries rising are still in a treacherous period that will last the whole month still, unfortunately, with lingering health issues and/or with people working behind your back.
Also, there is lots going on behind closed doors during this period.
You may feel isolated or confined.
If you are Pisces or have Pisces rising, expect a heavy workload, lots of responsibilities, and a testing time to help you in your personal development.
You might be called upon.
Prepare for tiredness and/or some health issues as well during this month.
Following mundane astrology, late March is, perhaps, one of the most violent, dark, karmic and/or busy periods annually, so that we might wonder what tragedies will unfold this year, especially with the current active Pisces stellium.
Following astrometeorology, a stellium in Pisces tends to cold/chilly and wet weather with more precipitation than usual.
Around the March 3 Last Quarter Moon at 13° Sagittarius, Venus at 19° Aquarius squares Uranus, its own dispositor, at 19° Taurus.
Venus and Uranus are both in mutual reception, in exchange status or modus.
In other words, Venus and Uranus work together and, because of the rocky square aspect, not in a smooth way, but in a helpful way nevertheless.
Venus is the stronger of the two as Uranus does not feel well at all in Taurus.
In some cases, this waning square is related to receiving small packages, surprises, gifts, nice presents or cards.
This aspect may work out in a thrilling way, personally, and it also might coincide with short-lived attractions or encounters -- with some hurdles to be taken or accompanied by some uncomfortable situation.
For some of you, this aspect may coincide with a short and/or sudden break-up, a separation, the end of a friendship that triggers a personal liberation process.
Mercury and Neptune conjoin at 27° Pisces around March 8.
According to mundane astrology, this aspect often coincides with intoxication and/or (food) poisoning.
Mercury is in the sign of its detriment while Neptune is very strong in its own sign, suggesting a foggy atmosphere, not seeing things clearly which makes for being misled easily.
Beware of colds, infections as well.
Following astrometeorology, there can be heaps of precipitation around the period of this conjunction.
Realize that Neptune is now entering the last three degrees of Pisces (again).
The last three degrees are told to be 'drowning' degrees, literally and figuratively (which also happens when you are inundated by work, for example).
The coming weeks and months can bring lots of precipitation here and there, resulting in misery.
Around the March 9-10 New Moon (a SuperMoon by the way) at 20° Pisces, Mars at 19° Aquarius squares its own dispositor Uranus at 19° Taurus while Mercury enters Aries.
When Mars and Uranus are in mutual reception, they are likely to indicate a very accident-prone period with sudden, unexpected or unannounced actions and activities going on that can be upsetting, unsettling and quite uncomfortable.
There is a fighting mood and spirit noticeable as well and you may get help from some friends, groups or organizations.
Following astrometeorology, any tight Mars-Uranus aspect during a lunation period is found to bring a very sudden, drastic and disruptive change in the weather pattern (especially, but not solely, storm here and there).
Because this current New Moon period is also a SuperMoon, this might just increase the odds and make it more powerful.
On a more personal level, this New Moon period is related to changes to the motherly principles (like separating from the mother or the domestic area), changing the outer appearance (like having a new hair cut), getting pregnant or experiencing a miscarriage, not feeling yourself at home and/or being on the go or (stuck) in a (uncomfortable) transition zone.
Following mundane astrology, this period can be violent, with attacks and fights and chaotic experiences overall.
Also beware of transportation and traffic accidents causing lots of casualties.
Around March 21-22, Venus and Saturn conjoin at 12° Pisces while Mars will enter compassionate Pisces around March 22-23.
The degree area of 12° Pisces reflects going under or down, going hiding, disappearing and/or keeping a (very) low profile.
Some of you may take a step into the unknown and take some risks that go with it.
(Sudden) career switches are possible as well and often indicative of the need to be more independent.
Venus-Saturn conjunctions are melancholic so that a bit of loneliness may be part of the current somber energies.
Some of you may experience monetary issues, not being able to pay a bill or a purchase, while others may face separation from a loved one.
When Mars enters Pisces, beware of some hidden actions and activities.
Mars is currently in a hostile position, reflecting a sniper, working behind the back or undercover.
There are cover-ups and it's not recommended to go with mere outer appearances that are meant to camouflage or mask certain situations.
After all, life is all about the 'Art of deception.'
Following mundane astrology, the entrance of Mars in Pisces often coincides with flu-like symptoms and/or health issues, the fall of (a) government(s), being fired, to be the victim of violence or an accident.
Because Mars represents the armed forces and firefighters, it's to be expected this period of time may bring about lots of interventions to help those who suffer and/or are a victim of some situation.
Don't be fooled because Mars in Pisces is not easy and may increase anger and violence that is often drug- or intoxication-related.
Till April 5, Venus and Mars together reside in Pisces, boosting the (love) life of all water signs (Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces), as well as Virgos and those having Virgo rising.
Following astrometeorology, all Venus-Saturn aspects coincide with cooler temperatures and overcast and/or cloudy weather.
Add to that the stellium in Pisces and Mars entering Pisces as well, and precipitation and damage through water and the like can be part of the picture.
During this month of April there are no specific planetary configurations of stationing outer planets that might affect some specific birthdays in particular.
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.
In the 45° dial, there are some powerful midpoint combos between outer planets going on that work out the whole month and will mark this month's Zeitgeist:
the Jupiter/Pluto midpoint hits the Uranus/Pluto midpoint (JU/PL = UR/PL), exact around April 21,
the Jupiter/Saturn midpoint hits the Saturn/Uranus midpoint (JU/SA = SA/UR), exact around April 21,
the Jupiter/Neptune midpoint equals the Pluto/Chiron midpoint (JU/NE = PL/CH), exact around April 29.
The JU/PL = UR/PL planetary picture suggests, among others: the many deaths, the huge disruption, the big storm, the fatal blast.
The JU/SA = SA/UR midpoint is indicative of, among others: the destruction of buildings and/or homes, the devastation, the material destruction or demolition, the destructive storm.
The JU/NE = PL/CH midpoint suggests, among others: the big scandal(s), uncovering massive or large-scale fraud or deception, the big (financial) loss(es).
With 4 planets/bodies still in Pisces during the first week of April (Venus, Mars, Saturn and Neptune) those of you born under the zodiac sign Aries or having Aries rising are still in a treacherous period for now.
Also, there is lots going on behind closed doors during this period.
You may feel isolated or confined.
If you are Pisces or have Pisces rising, expect a heavy workload, lots of responsibilities, and a testing time to help you in your personal development.
You might be called upon.
Prepare for tiredness and/or some health issues as well.
Following astrometeorology, a stellium in Pisces tends to cold/chilly and wet weather with more precipitation than usual.
If you are Leo or Libra or have Leo or Libra rising, take in particular care of your health.
Because Venus and Mars are still in Pisces together, the love life of all water signs (Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces) may still get a boost these early April days.
The same applies to you if you have Virgo rising.
Around April 1, Mercury stations and turns backward at 27° Aries.
As usual, Geminis and Virgos (and Gemini and Virgo rising) may feel the station of their sign ruler most.
Things may not go smoothly or as wished for and it's also likely there is a lack of zest or some health issue popping up.
Don't take any decisions just now and be aware that communication and traffic or transportation (in the widest sense) may go awry.
Following astrometeorology, this degree area is related to (lots of) precipitation, often causing lots of traffic and/or transportation issues.
This is the more so now that Mercury, ruler of transportation and traffic, stations and goes retrograde.
Following mundane astrology, this degree area coincides with news about health issues, bankruptcy and/or financial losses or monetary concerns.
Some of you may feel isolated around the station, and misjudgments may cause mishaps.
Some old situation may have to be cleared out just now.
The Sun and the true Lunar North Node meet at 15° Aries around April 4-5, indicating an important meeting with a male person, or with a celebrity, royalty or a person of importance.
When the Sun conjuncts, squares or opposes the Moon’s Nodes, we are in what is called a Moon wobble period.
Moon wobbles show a statistical pattern of death due to accidents or catastrophes, with emotions running high also.
April is an unstable and irrational month because of that.
People are excitable, easily confused and misled emotionally and mentally because of this Moon wobble.
Additionally, 15° Aries is a very accident-prone degree, reflecting clashes and collisions, crossing boundaries, short-lived passionate encounters, sudden anger etc.
However, for some of you, this aspect might indicate a sudden (spontaneous) enjoyable (short) encounter, a superficial but nice meeting, an unexpected pregnancy or conception and/or a (temporary or short-lived) love affair.
Venus enters Aries, the sign of its detriment, around the same day of April 4-5, suggesting some large intervention by the Armed Forces (police and/or military) or fire brigades.
There can be disputes and something taking an end, so you can start anew in an existential way.
Some of you may take the opportunity to move, or change careers or switch partners.
You may also want to find out how attractive you (still) are.
The Sun, Mercury, Venus and the Lunar North Node are now in Aries, indicating some sorrow or concerns if you are Taurus or have Taurus rising.
If you are Aries, there are some health issues but also support and/or help from others.
The April 8 Solar Eclipse (which is also a SuperMoon) at 19° Aries is conjunct Chiron, the eternal maverick.
According to the brilliant and keen astrologer and researcher Bernadette Brady, this Solar Eclipse belongs to the Saros Series 8 North.
Her research has shown that this Saros Series coincides with inventiveness and flashes of genius.
People will have intuitive leaps, insights, good ideas, visions or vivid dreams and this new-found inspiration will pull the person away from his or her social life or relationship, thereby causing strain in the private life.
This is a time when the person needs to be free, if only for a few weeks, she says.
Whenever a lunation is conjunct Chiron, it presages and coincides with manifestations, protests, strikes, disruptions in our daily lives.
This aspect reflects objections, throwing (certain) established rules out of the window, not obliging to the establishment, resulting in more periods of chaos and "anarchy" during the coming six months.
Mercury and Chiron conjoin at 19° Aries around the April 15 First Quarter Moon at 26° Cancer.
Following mundane astrology, Mercury and Chiron together coincide with internet or power outages, electronics and/or electrical devices breaking down or crashing.
Traffic and transportation may go awry here and there.
On a more personal level, this conjunction marks odd news, differences in opinion or outlook and rules that suddenly no longer seem to apply.
Jupiter and Uranus conjoin at 21° Taurus while Venus meets Chiron at 20° Aries and the Sun at 2° Taurus squares Pluto at 2° Aquarius around April 21.
Whenever Jupiter and Uranus meet or are in aspect, they bring relief in whatever situation you are.
The conjunction is a thrilling aspect on a personal level because it brings insight, revelations, aha-moments, solutions, breakthroughs, new opportunities.
At 21° Taurus, this conjunction is able to bring fortunate changes and situations developing for the best in a thrilling way or a thrilling turn of events.
The Venus-Chiron conjunction often coincides with some kind of disruption in a relationship (in the widest sense), some upheaval or obstruction.
This may result in not being able to connect properly.
However, in some cases it may also indicate a change of the environment, enjoying a gathering, socializing or taking the first steps to initiate a date or encounter.
The waxing Sun-Pluto square in fixed signs is indicative of forceful behavior or events, creating intensity, pushing through something willfully, combating a fixed or stalemate situation.
On a mundane level, the period of a Jupiter-Uranus conjunction often coincides with technological breakthroughs, exciting discoveries, social or legal reform(s) but also social unrest because of differences in ideological, philosophical or religious philosophy.
Both planets together are very freedom-loving.
Everything related to aerospace and aviation may be in the news.
There is, generally speaking, some discontent with legal, religious or philosophical matters and this discontent can be heard or felt here and there.
Around April 28-29, Mars and Neptune conjoin at 28° Pisces while Venus enters its own sign Taurus.
Anytime Venus enters its own sign, it marks a sensual period, with possible love-making.
The Mars-Neptune conjunction at a dissolving degree might coincide with toxic stuff, poisons (even food poisoning) and/or intoxication of some sort.
Beware of infections as well, a lack of energy and zest and some mishaps going on.
In some cases, undisclosed or undercover or secret activities may be part of the current energies.
With 4 planets now in Taurus (the Sun, Venus, Jupiter and Uranus), people with the Sun in Taurus or having Taurus rising are more popular and 'in high demand.'
If you are Gemini or have Gemini rising, some love's sorrow or issues with (a) child(ren) may be on the agenda for the coming weeks.
Also, in some cases, a secret lover may be part of your life.
The day after, around April 30, Mars enters its own sign Aries, suggesting interventions by 'the Armed forces' (army or police).
It's a very active period with lots of initiatives to be taken.
Mars in Aries decides for itself and pushes through irrespective of others' opinions, feelings or needs.
During this month of May there are no specific planetary configurations of stationing outer planets that might affect some specific birthdays in particular.
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 some powerful midpoint combos between outer planets going on that work out the whole month and will mark this month's Zeitgeist:
the Jupiter/Chiron midpoint hits the Saturn/Neptune midpoint (JU/CH = SA/NE), exact around May 5,
Neptune hits the Jupiter/Pluto midpoint (NE = JU/PL), exact around May 10,
the Jupiter/Uranus midpoint equals the Saturn/Pluto midpoint (JU/UR = SA/PL), exact around May 11,
the Jupiter/Uranus midpoint equals the Neptune/Chiron midpoint (JU/UR = NE/CH), exact around May 15.
The JU/CH = SA/NE planetary picture suggests, among others: health issues (SA/NE) that result in checking with a medical doctor (JU/CH).
So indeed, this month tends to be pointing to lots of people being ill or having health concerns.
If you are born around January 28, March 13, April 27-28, June 13, July 30-31, September 15, October 30-31 or December 14, this planetary picture will likely affect you most.
The NE = JU/PL midpoint is indicative of, among others: the huge fraud or corruption, the big scandal, the drug-related issues, the big deception or confusion.
The JU/UR = SA/PL midpoint suggests, among others: the breaking through a stalemate situation, trying to break through heavy oppression, the demolition of a concrete structure or tall building, the uncovering of a construction, the relief through a prosthesis.
The JU/UR = NE/CH midpoint suggests, among others: the sudden shock experience, the trembling, the peculiar findings or discoveries, the radical painful reform.
With 4 planets/bodies in Taurus during most of May, those of you born under the zodiac sign Gemini or having Gemini rising are in a treacherous period this month.
Also, there is lots going on behind closed doors during this period.
You may feel isolated or confined and/or may experience some health issues.
If you are Taurus or have Taurus rising, expect a heavy workload, lots of responsibilities, and a testing time to help you in your personal development.
There can be an increased cash flow going on.
If you are Libra or Sagittarius or have Libra or Sagittarius rising, take in particular care of your health.
Following astrometeorology, a stellium in Taurus tends to a stable weather pattern with weather lingering on but there is also an increased chance or risk of earth-slides, earthquakes and other earth-related disasters.
Neptune will be at 29° Pisces, the last degree of the zodiac.
That very last degree of the zodiac marks just that, the end of a full cycle, and indicates the end of the rope (literally or figuratively as well), dissolvings, chaos and confusion, endings, bankruptcies, severe maritime and environmental issues, an exodus, sorrow, uncertainty, tears with people fleeing away and/or hiding for whatever reason, intrigue, lies, deception and secrets etc. all over.
Following astrometeorology, the whole month long may bring more precipitation than usual, inundations, floods, drownings etc. here and there.
Around the May 1 Last Quarter Moon at 11° Aquarius, Venus at 2° Taurus squares (stationing) Pluto at 2° Aquarius.
This waxing square is a very passionate one and it's likely you want to conquer someone.
However, don't overdo as this aspect can be too forceful, too lustful as well.
Usually, when Venus and Pluto build an aspect, beware of (financial) blackmail.
It's not a peaceful combination anyway.
Also, some transformational energies are going on now, related with property, possessions and group interaction(s).
Some of you will experience the passing of a loved one.
The current Moon phase seems to indicate some unexpected windfalls for some of you.
Pluto stations at 2° Aquarius, the day after, around May 2 and turns backward.
This is a big deal as stationing Pluto often coincides with earthquakes, natural or man-made disasters, storm, the more so because it is in shocking and disruptive Aquarius and still in aspect with Venus in the earth sign Taurus.
There can be damage to property when this intense aspect is going on.
Usually, retrograde Pluto loves to dig deep, wants to investigate something to the bottom and can do so tenaciously.
Following astrometeorology, beware of intense wind and/or stormy weather here and there.
On a more personal level, stationing Pluto will most of all influence you if you are Scorpio or have Scorpio rising.
You may feel tired or lack some zest and things will not go as you wished for.
Mercury and Chiron meet at 21° Aries around May 6-7, suggesting internet and/or website outages and/or electronics or electrical devices breaking down.
Beware of short circuits and/or issues related to fire as well.
Following mundane astrology, expect traffic and/or transportation issues as well.
Some of you may travel or (have to) leave the place or home.
The May 8 New Moon at 18° Taurus, is exactly conjunct the Fixed Star Ruchbach.
This Moon phase (and week) is about some sacrifice (for ideologies, politics, religion, a culture or whatever higher purpose) during harsh times, keeping up appearances despite problems or hardship and holding one's honor and strength.
The Sun and Uranus meet at 23° Taurus around May 13, a degree area that often coincides with sudden separations, sudden (tragic) endings and/or losses.
What started intensely and suddenly, might now break up suddenly too.
In other words, there are some shocking experiences going on.
In some instances, this conjunction marks sudden new encounters and/or 'easy come easy go' situations.
This degree area has something destructive and because of the involvement of disruptive and unexpected Uranus, it intensifies the disruptive, shattering and explosive experience.
Following astrometeorology and mundane astrology, beware of stormy weather here and there and/or earthquakes and other natural or man-made disasters.
Mercury enters material Taurus around the May 15 First Quarter Moon at 25° Leo.
There can be financial news or some news about possessions or even bills to be paid.
This First Quarter Moon suggests a week of being stuck somewhere, at some place, being in some transition zone.
Some of you may have it difficult to decide between choices or options, if there are any options left...
Mars conjuncts the true Lunar North Node at 14° Aries while the Sun enters Gemini around May 20, presenting yet more sudden encounters that can be disruptive this time though.
Any time Mars is in aspect with the Lunar Nodes, following mundane astrology, it affects a group of people and results in physical injuries.
Hence, this aspect is very accident-prone and is often called a bloody combination, literally, as it is found during times of shootings, severe and fatal accidents etc.
The fiery degree area adds to this.
The Sun entering Gemini is indicative of contact with neighbors and/or siblings or getting a message from them.
There might be a developing news coverage.
Traffic and/or transportation issues may pop up and some of you may be on the go a lot around this day.
Mars and Chiron meet at 22° Aries around May 29, suggesting strikes, protests, manifestations, obstructions, not willing to work or not being allowed or in the mood to work.
Some of you may change jobs.
Mars and Chiron together can be very cruel, ruthless though and we have found this combination often to coincide with shootings.
