Predictions 2020

“Growth and Clarity”




#Astrology 101

December 20th

Saturn’s pressure for reformation and perfection is current since December 2019 when it entered the 10th sector of Capricorn calling for practical approach on the matter.

Reformations however don’t mean necessarily reform in the way you want it for yourself. It means reformation and perfection in the vision of every single living thing on earth leading to multiple and contrary expressions on the matter. This trend now consolidates in a more stubborn way under increasing Uranus influence. Thus creates neglect to alternatives and embraces individualist, self-imaging act which is meant to reach unrelated personal independence of self within an environment of equality.

The path of Saturn through the area of Aquarius will create a vast multicultural liberation but also a strong tendency of social neglect driving its intensity further until dogma falls below threshold of acceptance. This scenario happened not long ago starting with a conjoint of Jupiter and Saturn in February 1961 escalating first in differentiations then cultural reformation within.

The tricky part of this transit is the fact that traditions are threatened to be eliminated/replaced by a different concept thereafter then overdriven during Saturn’s path through Pisces creating new differentiations before combustion. The resistance is bold and confrontations inevitable and the face of the future path not necessarily pleasant but deliver plentiful choices allowing individual styling to grow.

In times of mass control and manifested class society we may watch it a bit. As is the constellation fails to reform deeply corrupted leadership on world spanning scale we will face neglect with extreme consequences for life as we know it. Neglect under this constellation is a pound to be considered life threatening under conditions of isolation while the lucky part is dancing on your grave.

On the other hand this constellation offers a strong trend of productivity known to be a starting point of prosperity through unique ideas feeding the need for new solutions. The chance to flip the planet to a form of sustainable coexistence of life forms is in the air but will have to be set by the end of this period in 2025 to avoid being repelled through the confrontational period of Saturn in Aries.

The constellation of Saturn and Jupiter in 2020 signifies a turning point opening a window to lasting changes within society structures.

As is the parameters are set to embrace totalitarian leadership on world scale separating the powers from obligations to take responsibilities for their actions (Pluto 1981 - current).

Rulership as of today may be complex and sophisticated but express nothing but City state agenda dividing societies into useful peasants and non profitable elements that disturb the party in the upper floors.

In matters of reformation and perfection it means efficiency of profitable subject and elimination of any tendency weakening growth. For the leaders it represents the need to eliminate costs and obligations and for the citizen below survival in competition among each other.

In fact if equality among all parts of society is not established or goal throughout this time confrontations and deselection will increase to measures.

As is the constellation shows, a number of co-constellations making the conjoint of Saturn and Jupiter special. Pluto follows the two still working hard to establish hierarchical order and practical growth eating its way through time. Pluto is now at a stage of perfection and elimination at its peak provoking resistance below. Pluto was last seen at this degree in 1775 initiating the American Revolution meant to free the new world from British establishment. Independence followed one year later.

As of today the last passage of Mars over Eris is established squaring Pluto for some time. This period is signified through bolstering readiness in favor of conflict. Here in this case the act is meant to position power and control in favor of hierarchical order. We passed several critical moments of conflicts in the past few years under this constellation which had led to adjustments within the concepts of world order. This last passage of Mars over this square between Pluto and Eris bears the risk of drastic actions which have been prepared during the past few months and may be placed in a few days while the constellation is in place.

A military conflict is often used to deflect masses from actual issues within a society shifting pressure into a different setting abandoning inner tensions between failing leadership and exploited citizen. If this happens we can be assured that Authoritarian establishment will be manifested for some time.

If we pass this threat of war at this time a chance for reformation will get a chance to pinpoint the growing issue of inequality for the masses to acknowledge and take measures into a life sustaining future. Since both constellations (Jupiter/Saturn and Pluto square Mars/Eris) cover common perspective they don’t act in constellation bearing the risk of inner conflict in which Jupiter/Saturn oppose the occurrence of martial threat.

Another interesting fact is the conjoint of Sun and Mercury in almost exact semi-sextile to Jupiter/Saturn to the date of conjoint. Mercury is occulted by the Sun encouraging exchange and open notice as well as strong awareness and reflected adaption guiding the nature of identity into the right direction embracing a positive vision for future paths. This ray of light may causes martial activities to diminish allowing pressing issues to be addressed as it is needed at this point.

Support for a brief disposition of possible  martial conflict is also caused by a pass of Moon on Neptune in septile to the Jupiter/Saturn conjoint. A rather illusionary vision of the future will hold forces in place for a moment of enlightenment. Reality however will unfold on and after the 21st of December. We are meant to grow to new horizons after that date. The form of its face is in our hands if we are able to decay inequality.

If we fail we will face broad growth of deselection as it appears to be current.

As of December 23rd Moon will join Mars and Eris squaring Pluto(Picture below). This day may be a great risk for escalation and martial act. Stay safe.

“Thrill of loss”




#Astrology 101

October 31 2020

Tensions have been built up again through the last Mars Rx conjoint with Eris Rx and the now direct moving Jupiter.

Jupiter now nears Pluto and initiating a conjoint for the 3rd time this year.

This conjoint embraces intense growth and aggressive gain among all organic life forms; leading to extreme situations of instability and power shifts. The epidemic is just one part of this event showing large spreads and peak casualties during this conjoint as predicted in November 2019.

The peak impact between the 8th and 12th of November will sign a final event in struggles of power and destruction leaving winners and losers behind moving on to a final judgement in the midst of December.

As for now we have to deal with the upcoming event of the last passage between the two in square to Eris which is adding large competition trades to the scene. Generally we can expect just the same scenario as in Spring and Summer but now we know and practiced its content being asked to solute the situation.

This will be not as easy as it seems since aggravating Aspects haunt the global society increasingly for two month now. Mercury turned Rx in Scorpio turning this energy potential inward while destabilizing the scenery through a opposition to Uranus.

On Monday the 26th of October Moon entered the area of Aries while Mercury moved into a stage of focus on inner balance. Moon unfolded the accumulated tensions of the past weeks unloading onto fragile concepts within societies.

Yet the passage of Mars was of notably aggressive nature showing a high activity of terror, domestic assault and military activities as well as resentment against restrictive measures as a result of restraint.

With the conjoint of Eris Moon unleashed the square to Pluto/Jupiter today by 6 am.

This combination destabilizes matter and construction under the Influence of a T quintile combination between Venus/Uranus Apex Jupiter. This combination decays matter creates loss and tactical gains through a shift of forces in all facets the spectrum of life has to offer.

As Moon moves on it will gain into the stabilizing zone of Taurus by today in the early afternoon hours. The disputes manifest turning into positioning of matters in a defensive but forceful measure.

Since Uranus currently forces strong effects of destabilization in the area the Moon transit shows shifts of stability and positions during this phase. Conflicts can rise as well as tensions meant to allow growth in competition to competing clusters. Generally we can see how once stable assets hollow out or decay altogether being destroyed or shifted between owners.

Territorial conflicts and possessive behavior increase during this phase.

With Moon in transit passing the position of Uranus these measures increase becoming turbulent under influence of the Sun in opposing position enhanced through a hyper active quintile combination to this Full Moon phase.

We may be careful with this full Moon tomorrow 11am (EAT) leaving you unruly or sleepless at night (Eastern Asia, Pacific) and increasingly irritated during the day Americas, Europe, Africa, India and Middle East). Order, change of perception and shifting patterns may change out of the blue (Venus/Eris).

Receipe for disaster




#Astrology 101

The first sector of the Zodiac (triggered act) is pure energetic and martial response to any impact without limitations.
The spark ignites; the bomb goes off. Simple and without second thought but based on the conditions of given impact and force.

There is no sense to the act. No measure no reason, just the plain event of cause based on trigger.

The high alertness of the 144th sector is now aiming to release energy, pushing forward in ultimate measure.
The voidance of conflict changes to open retaliation in its most drastic expression.

Neptune will enter this 1st sector by March 30thuntil October 21st for the first time, apogee and in authentic empathy to given events in place. Unlike the experience of the 144th sector in which impact was absorbed and passively assimilated, unable to respond, triggers will create act in retaliating form without compromise. The main factor is to unload inner tension restraining authenticity in its growth.

Since this transit is empathic and impact oriented the act will be based on authenticity and desires as much as it will be a plain unload of tension. Submissive aka collective oriented individuals will tend to call for action upon them aka action in their name, while individualists will tend to simply retaliate toward any form of restraint. A visible change of global rebellion and its counter actions will take place.

There is no holding back and it will cause uncertainty and havoc for some time until the beginning of May without causing major changes in the stability of powers but limiting its grasp. This is because of Saturn following Neptune engaging into a conjoint by May 2nd until September 6th. Saturn which is currently apogee and in full force of its achievement-oriented phase will change to its falling motive of security and manifestation of concept, counterpointing chaos and stabilizing trigger-based act. With the ingress into the first sector on May 25th until August 31st, the chilling phase of martial control will take place preventing chaos to take over. Tensions will increase and retaliatory act certain in this heated summer spectacle.

As long Saturn roamed the idealist sectors, ideals had been turned into shape but now it will be enacted and martial enforced until surrender is applied for the sake of balance and safety. With Neptune turning Rx by July 5th, the phase of decay begins. Neptune Rx is highly sensitive and defensive seeking to escape from impact. The falling Saturn enacts martial control in pillaging act “defending” its idealist establishment throughout its Rx phase. This combination can be seen as a vast elimination of life if a restraint is not established by then.

The odds or this, however, remain in question since the conjoint will separate by September 6th ending the turmoil for the rest of the year. Damaged powers and escapism in sorrow will rule. In early spring and with both planets rising a second conjoint by January 24th until March 17th will decide the odds of future balance. This is not just a war. It is a reform of life as we know it. It ofc can be a war, it can be an act of live and let die, a martial law, a geocide or a plain retaliatory revolution. But it can be also a new orientation overcoming past restraint and acts of personal freedom manifesting renewing the inner spirit for a better personal experience of life.

"A boiling pot of toxic waste"




#Astrology 101

August 30th - September 3rd

A buildup of stress unfolding inward.

As noticed the average stress potential accumulated to limits creating a test for worn out societies exploiting itself within at peak performance. Ultimate limits have been reached starting to decay individual vitality below public attention or official address.

If someone thought the Mars transit within this concept of constellation is just one of the many transits passing through every other year you may think again.

Mars in Aries embraces target oriented activism based on the large picture given.

On August the 31st the martial Mars/Saturn square comes to an end being replaced by an undercurrent and more strategic oriented Eris/Saturn square. This square increases positioning and friction more stubbornly accumulating aggravation and martial readiness and act within social context. The goal here is to provide perfection and project this vision onto the environment at large.

Since this constellation is global only individuals in context reference to this effect supporting the trend, rising tensions, act accordingly. Those not being directly impacted may notice the tension may respond indifferent protective, defensive based on the situation given.

Under the current deployment of a Saturn/Pluto square Eris (all Rx) movement in which we face radical transformation with narrowed vision on all sides of the spectrum.

Venus is currently (August 26th – September 14th) engaged in a semi-square to the Sun in the 4th moving to the 5th sector of Virgo. This constellation urges for order and social reliance then becoming an urge for identification within social alliance. The impact on the individual is rather of muting effect seeking alliance under urge, while the projection enlarges conflict of order with stubborn expression.

On August 30th Venus engaged in a square with Eris by noon ending the comfortable streak of Venus in the 9th sector of Cancer entirely. With this engagement, comfort becomes disregarded and questioned while social integrity fails. The result is shown as projected discomfort can be triggered easily during situations of stress eventually building up over time; increasingly driven from September 1st when Sun engages in a sesquisquare with Eris for two days.

On that day Venus disengages with Pluto, opposing Saturn in Capricorn for the following two days. This constellation creates two major effects. The general experience is known to objectify form and discipline consume in favor of common sense and in the matter of fact it will chill the then current stress potential within the given environment. The discomfort pays for emotional stability which assumes inner balance of higher value then possible pleasure. The other quality of this constellation shows through a shaping control of task management weighing the options and given results to perfection. In social context this aspect disciplines expression in form of politeness and distance; therefore submitting a restraining momentum on Eris and dissolve ongoing conflict leaving the individual with inner tension.

On September 2nd a full Moon night will peak the massive accumulation of stress. The T square with Apex Eris, Saturn and Venus in place a hard rectangle and a hard dragon adds to the momentum pushing the limits between 3 and 5am (EAT) for 2 hours in time.

This rectangle will be enacted through the Moon building semisquares to Saturn and Eris increasing the stress potential there while disabling the identity of order, inner structure and coordination represented through the Sun; creating panic and imbalance through a sesquisquare to Venus. This constellation will be notable.

The Sun will also engage into a sesquisquare with Eris enabling a hard dragon involving Eris, Moon and Saturn which puts more pressure on matters of order and structure. The dragon here is the creation of chaos through loss of control opening opportunities of a takeover scenario.

A tremendous and broad load of pressure on physical and emotional levels occurs leaving no escape or alternative but projective measures. One of the most stress loaded days in this unpleasant year of 2020 leading to some measurable aftermath under its decaying structure.

“Flower in the mud”




#Astrology 101

Pluto and Uranus are in sesquiquitile tie since July 22nd creating according to their placing Sectors destructive projection mainly expressed through, thought, verbal exchange and attitude. The essence here is that diplomacy cant be established one or the other way rather driving opponents into crusted corners in accelerating partly irrelevant visions and projections.  

On August 29th Venus in Cancer will engage opposite to Pluto and Quintile to Uranus.

Venus in the 9th sector of Cancer expresses a strong emotional flow and raises inner and social stability and rouse romantic engagement. A perfect setting for lovers if the birth chart connects with this transit and even more so in the previous sector.

The opposition with Pluto in the 10th sector of Capricorn however is not of good timing this year. Pluto is currently representing the ultimate embracement of power, exploding any opportunity to step above, gain and make space for oneself.

Whomever thinks falling for the “one” will be eaten up devoured and spit out.

You in your romantic dream and self-assured attitude may fall for the trap of power at this time waking up empty handed. Short, the two days near the end of August will give you a chance to get hurt unless you are in a solid ongoing engagement knowing one another.

Another critical point of this aspect lays in possible conflicts. This sector and the prior raise self-assurance to higher levels creating positioning within arguments destroying any chance of diplomacy.

This effect is in this case rather likely through the interlink with Uranus and Pluto in such chaotic presence.

I for my part will focus on my annual Venus transit in sextile to my Moon by looking at romantic memories leaving the world cooking in misery for these two days.

And since we talk about misery there will be plenty. On the 29th of August Moon will pass Jupiter at night (aint not so bad), Pluto and Saturn in the morning hours (EAT) embracing destruction and martial response at large while relinking the square between Eris and Pluto by 10 am (EAT). A loaded day is waiting for you and you just stay out the wind if you don’t mind.

“Leave your shadow”




#Astrology 101

August 15th - August 16th

 

On the 15th of August Uranus which is stationary since August 12th turns Rx intensifying the temper of dispute within the 5th sector of Taurus. With this Rx turn of Uranus all outer Planets will be in retrograde flow embracing a strong presence of public matters leading to changes on global levels.  

“This sector is about personified values and display through them. It sets values through action, stubbornly pursued and defended. Uranus here breaks the spell asking for reformation and alternative solutions not giving in either but will besiege any resistance in time. We are about to face changes of perception based on the values we carry. We are asked to improve and flex for a broader understanding questioning the habits that controlled our go in life deeply if there is any current interlink within your birth chart setting.   

Globally speaking, we face conflict during this period in form of a practical oriented and personal integrated standoff between values which is not just presented and emotional expressed as in the sector prior. Here we have to face ourselves as object of change leading to a breakdown of social meaning as it was current for such a long time.

For now this aspect will create inconvenience as in “something is off” and inner insecurity “is this right?” without the option of projection as it was the case in the prior sector. So if you felt like making someone following your values you may face your own as object of complaint regarding the matters in your birth chart setting.

Since the first run of Uranus in this sector does not last very long you will not face any self-destructive measure but may gain a bit of discipline during this phase.  For people with strong Uranus ambitions this sector creates a boost of inner reform driving the Uranian nature forward in personal behalf increasing social indifference” (CTDefinitions: Flow and Twirrl 08.08.2020)

The bi septile with Saturn will remain current until the 16th and through this time the Sun interlinks with Uranus (biseptile) and Saturn (triseptile).

The triseptile between Sun and Saturn represents dispute with inner management as well as global conflict regarding handling of order and judgement. To embrace one or the other will either lead to inconsistent control over the situation (Sun) or rush handling w/o approval (Saturn).

Uranus stabilizes both entities in a matter of change and improvement.  As long one is holding a status a conflict occurs until the individual moves on in time. If the individual engages into the process the flow will move smoothly and with ease.

The purpose is to engage into a change of inner perspective and habit before the process of Uranus Rx movement in which tasks may or may not have taken care off.

So it seems an easy catch so far just moving along in orientation on the new endeavor of improvement mastering the tasks ahead.

Unfortunately we got a Cancer Venus in play which will be just in time traveling the Moon sector of Cancer unleashing a strong subjective stand urging the Sun to express a socially infused motive of entitlement. Moon is coming along intensifying the situation which can lead to unpleasant debates free of any logic or relevance.

Uranus again solves the issue assuming indifference as appropriate solution to avoid foolish acting. The combination can be used to unload socially worn conflict for good leaving you with a fresh start for new endeavors without luggage.

However, we are dealing with these energies tomorrow morning and throughout that day. On Sunday we may just look over the horizon setting a target and get it on cause the Mars/Eris square with Pluto will not allow any time of rest.

“Flow and twirrl”




#Astrology 101

A little bit on Septile aspects first

The Septile aspect is one of the major Aspects embracing cognitive flow neural connectivity based on alertness in combination with cognitive ability.

Astrologers often assume this aspect as minor which is likely based on its uneasy degree count making it hard to spot and therefore difficult to be marketed.

Well this Aspect doesn’t care so much and does its thing showing the ability limits in your birth chart.

Septile mark motor and neural talent pursuit within ones birth chart in its exact limit; Septile act conflict solvent without major display. Septile regard the inner management on object/target.

The Bi septile regards motor balance, is not object driven rather enables smooth handling and coordination within neural activity.

Bi septile coordinate inner tasks and weigh options on the go.

Tri septile regard neural interruption, discord and refer to disapproved or questioned motor. The theme here based on avoidance of something leading to the wrong effect.

Tri septile limit motor and neural connectivity. They are experienced as blind spot or mishap if triggered.

URANUS

Uranus reached the 5th sector of Taurus by July 5th 2020 until September 26th embracing true reformation of Values for the first time ever since May 8th in 1937 two days after the Hindenburg blimp busted into flames and 5 month before Hitler informed his generals to prepare for war which had been planned within the month prior (Saturn in early Aries). The reformation back in time was pursuit through destruction and restraint which was mainly caused through a strong Saturn influence in early Aries.

This Taurus sector is about personified values and display through them. It sets values through action, stubbornly pursued and defended. Uranus here breaks the spell asking for reformation and alternative solutions not giving in either but will besiege any resistance in time. We are about to face changes of perception based on the values we carry. We are asked to improve and flex for a broader understanding questioning the habits that controlled our go in life deeply if there is any current interlink within your birth chart setting.    

Globally speaking, we face conflict during this period in form of a practical oriented and personal integrated standoff between values which is not just presented and emotional expressed as in the sector prior. Here we have to face ourselves as object of change leading to a breakdown of social meaning as it was current for such a long time.

For now this aspect will create inconvenience as in “something is off” and inner insecurity “is this right?” without the option of projection as it was the case in the prior sector. So if you felt like making someone following your values you may face your own as object of complaint regarding the matters in your birth chart setting.

Since the first run of Uranus in this sector does not last very long you will not face any self-destructive measure but may gain a bit of discipline during this phase.  For people with strong Uranus ambitions this sector creates a boost of inner reform driving the Uranian nature forward in personal behalf increasing social indifference.

 

SATURN

On July 22nd SaturnRx was engaging into a bi septile with this current Uranus transit until August 15th. Saturn Rx encourages perfection of reformation at this point in time allowing and boosting for changes in matters of perfection. Saturn pushes for results that last, save structures fully developed to the core and done in time.  A helpful transit for anyone involved through birth chart placements assuring a constructive reformation and organization of future plans.

The Septile aspect is one of the major Aspects embracing cognitive flow neural connectivity based on alertness in combination with cognitive ability. Astrologers often assume this aspect as minor which is likely based on its uneasy degree count making it hard to spot and therefore difficult to marked. Well this Aspect doesn’t care so much and does its thing showing the ability limits in your birth chart.

Septile mark motor and neural talent pursuit within ones birth chart in its exact limit; Septile act conflict solvent without major display. Septile regard the inner management on object/target.

The bi septile regards motor balance, is not object driven rather enables smooth handling and coordination within neural activity. Bi septile coordinate inner tasks and weigh options on the go.

Tri septile regard neural interruption, discord and refer to disapproved or questioned motor. The theme here based on avoidance of something leading to the wrong effect. Tri septile limit motor and neural connectivity. They are experienced as blind spot or mishap if triggered.

Saturn’s bi septile engagement with Uranus encourages balance and control within the process of disenfranchisement of values in favor of a rather balanced outcome of future plans. Uranus position here encourages Saturn’s process of improvement in favor of future plans for the time given. This stabilizing effect assures the limitation of August 16th impact when Mars and Eris join in a square to Pluto.

 

VENUS

Venus entered the first sector of Cancer yesterday. This sector indicates social emotional alignment in form of act embracing the need of intimate contact. Venus here in accelerating distance to earth enforces the need of contact seeking harmonic and balanced interaction. During this time from the 7th to the 9th of August Venus builds a tri septile to Saturn which is of course repressing either of the events in play. Venus interacts in the flow of alignment while Saturn pursuits a concept rejecting devotion during this period. As a result the interaction under Venus faces interruption and fail during the process of alignment while Saturn accompanies only for objective purpose. So your date may just wait until the 9th of August for a more relaxed situation.

Venus also engages with Uranus in septile distance by August 9th for two days which is in case of a planned get together an interesting aspect. The septile between the two enforces change of mind but is also experimental and broadly willing to try the uncommon. Venus encourages Uranus in the pursuit of uncommon while Uranus does not allow settlement keeping the situation distanced to a degree for independent interaction. The septile here in this situation can be described as creative and openly flexible motor keeping integrity in place on the go of this event. You will notice how your movements respond and change regarding the situations you face fluently if the aspect concept interlinks with your birth chart setting. Sudden encounters are highly likely during this septile event.

“Overdrive below the bolders”




#Astrology 101

When Mars, Eris and Pluto have a grand day out

 

With the beginning of August forces accumulate drastically; intensify throughout the next 6 month.

Mars in Aries acts straight forward in a physical approach, direct on target without thinking twice.

Mars in Aries displays physical presence with constant flow of energy into the environment.

With this potential in early Aries Mars produces a reflex responding to the closest target at a time to capture the situation in a compassionate manner. Mars does not hold peak performance for long rather shows spontaneous and drastically.

Mars in the center of Aries rather displays strength and action identifying itself within this image of power while the late Aries Mars acts possessive oriented on matter and goals.

Mars repeats its path around the Zodiac within about two years remaining last between December 31 2018 and February 13th 2019in Aries. This year Mars will remain in Aries for an extended period from June 27th 2020 until January 6th 2021.

The difference between 2019 and now is that Mars of January 2019 started to gain distance to Earth becoming more expressive/progressive over time reaching its most distant position by September 14th 2019. During that phase Mars ended its phase of accumulation and possessive attitude to a more discharging flow.

This year Mars is closing in on Earth accelerating inner strength, resistance and possessive attitudes toward environmental influences peaking by October 16th during a Sun/Moon conjunct in opposite position. 

This peak represents the core strength, position and discipline within the organism that would need a reason to strike. If triggered, this Mars expresses organized tactical force aiming for success.  

In a peaceful and rather calm environment these phases are extraordinary productive and save but not so if the environment is split or restrained. Even though the closing in Mars rests and is rather positioned, in case of growing stress potential the chance of combustion is rather likely and of strong effect.

Mars entered its Rx shadow July 25th at 15* Aries continuing its path until the end of Aries at 28* by September 7 before entering its grinding Rx phase squaring the entire mid late Capricorn zone (perfection) during that time starting by August 2nd.

Unlike Mars Pluto narrows focus dedicated to a target and shows strong mental durability on target during the quest. However, the more time is spent under Pluto’s influence the spectrum of awareness narrows leading to a process of loss and transformation. 

If one can’t let go of Pluto’s influence target and hunter melt leading to a result of self-destruction. Even though Mars and Pluto are similar of nature; the difference of durability versus explosive, leads as a result to a picture of playing dog (Mars) versus hunting Wolf (Pluto). Pluto likely manifests in a monumental image of self.

Pluto in late Capricorn expresses the physical definition of power. Yet Pluto rests in the 10th sector Rx manifesting given structures to gain space, accelerating interests of power narrowing the focus on this particular goal. The distance of Pluto is median closeish rather than far out gaining distance at this time becoming slightly more aggressive. Pluto here embraces control mechanism to perfection resisting any outer influence.

The transit of Pluto between August 1st and January 6th covers only 2 degrees between 22 *and 24* degrees of Capricorn remaining in the same sector the entire time.

The third planet in this concert is called Eris, a dwarf with eccentric orbit and slightly stronger effective than its dwarf companion Pluto.

Just like Mars and Pluto, planet Eris performs target driven. The difference here is that Eris assumes social competition within society based on temper and theme. So while a personified driven Pluto would act on target like an addict denying itself in favor of success and a possible delusional image of target, a personified Eris provides the stamina and image in order to succeed in social dependent context differentiating its own position from the whole.

Eris is providing performance and an eye for the field acting like as if participating in a race for the trophy; a piece in the puzzle of any career providing the level of engagement within social context at this particular given location in Aries. Here it is embracing the flow of currency and its possession, management and hoarding on global level.

On personal levels Eris provides stamina and oversight spend on long term goals. We may assume the temper as global accepted form but focusing on the placement in the theme concept of houses we can define how this force plays out in one’s life.

When Eris and Pluto engage into a square for a few weeks or month on and off, conflict becomes visible turns confrontational at a large scale. But it is not this square creating the conflict. This square enables power and focus on goals stubbornly approached at all costs creating friction within the social concept of life given. This aim of power creates disadvantages for those less fortune in the competition. The craving for victory at any costs weighs heavy on the environment which then retaliates at some point. This way the combination of Pluto and Eris creates overbearing levels of imbalance based on peak performance in matters of gain and competition decaying any roadblock on its way.

The last square between Eris and Pluto happened in June 1908 on and off until June 1912. Eris was located at 25* Pisces (compassionate rebellion/reformation) and Pluto between 24* and 27* Gemini (concept of social alignment).

Under this constellation in 1908 Austria declared the annexation of Bosnia Herzegovina creating tensions within the Balkan and with the Russian kingdom leading to the Balkan conflict in 1912 – 1913; then escalated to WW1 one year later and the Russian Revolution in 1917 (1908-1923) under the influence of then Eris/Neptune and Uranus.

Eris left the Sign of Pisces leading into the time of embraced Nationalist movement; a global concurrent event leading to WW2.

The square between Pluto and Eris today occurred in February 2019 and will last on and off until October 2022. This time conflict rises on global scale based on exploited resources and misuse of power confronting the advocates of imperial cooperation in their neglect toward social and environmental responsibility. Local protests in behalf of existential need rose ever since in lasting patterns growing in numbers by the day on global scale. At the same time a trend of reckless deselection and social differentiation grew to a problematic level all over the globe.

The systematic capture and murder on Uighurs in China, the ongoing massacre on Rohingya in Myanmar and the deadly removal of Palestine’s off their lands for profits as well as the vanishing “illegal immigrants” as well as unwanted citizen in the USA or the systematic murder on Native Amazonians in Brazil show a trend of escalation in behalf of overbearing ideological excuse covering a strong tendency to gain profits and space at the same time.

Even though the theme of deselection is embraced through the Saturn/Pluto conjunct of 2019 it adds to the escalation of conflict at large.

With the conjoint of Mars and Eris (August 15th-August 21st, September 29th-October 8th and December 18th- December 25th) in square to Pluto the energy flow becomes impulsive and since Mars is closing in on Earth, defensive; stands off rebellious at a high scale. This boost runs within all life forms and can enable all sorts of boosts as we have seen through the Jupiter/Pluto conjunction in March and July. The difference between Mars and Jupiter here is noted in a dominant bloat/growth (Jupiter) of a situation and a massive disciplined physical display and performance (Mars close to earth).

On very personal levels and based on interlink with one’s birth cart the combination of the three can create vast success strong vitality and sturdy health within personal parameters. For this, success plans have to be in place, the image of the result verified and ready to be approached because otherwise the effort would lead to frustrating results. If no plan is in place the energy will accumulate urging to be released leading to projections, escalation or illness; even decay. A random fitness plan can take care of the pressure if needed.

So what is to expect for the next month in time?

First I want to check on Neptune because sensitivity and awareness respond to martial Aspects in the first frontier. Neptune Rx remains in the 9th sector of Pisces under upcoming Mars influence until August 29th then it slowly falls back into a hibernating phase of the 8th sector of Pisces. For now the public awareness is intact and expresses its disappointment under ongoing decay of overbearing restraint. After the 29th of August the picture will change to inward oriented awareness as it was current before April 12th.

Neptune will enter the last decade of Pisces by February 2021 again encouraging a compassionate display in favor of equality once more.   

On August 2nd the currently accumulating square between Mars Aries 8th sector and Jupiter Capricorn 8th sector for 4 days until August 6th. Both sectors assume power and discipline.

While the sector of Capricorn embraces restraint in favor of order the sector in Aries assumes force as of enforcement. This combination assumes autocratic order enforcement under the current Pluto/Eris square. Since Mars closes in on Earth its nature encourages discipline and in general we can assume a rather productive and focused but unpleasant phase under this constellation embracing guarded restraint in favor of power.

It is not expected that a martial law event will take place at this point but the constellation would fit the assembly perfectly. The event may not take place because it may be solved in a different way through anonymous arrest of particular individuals as it is done in other countries assuring the solid expression of power through the government or other ruling entities. Another picture regards the ongoing incompetence in matters of the current pandemic which may be approached in a productive way under such combination.

From a natural viewpoint this constellation warrants cell stability and growth, a strong resistance under strong impact through compromising sources.

Mars continues to grow on Eris after the 6th of August entering a square to Pluto by August 10th for 8 days increasing its momentum through the incoming conjoint with Eris (August 16th – 22th) tremendously. Mars impacts Pluto restraining the grip of power impulsive and it is to expect that if martial restraint occurs the resistance would be explosive impulsive.

We will play with fire here losing our discipline which is saving us from uncontrolled unrest at this point in time. And it is not just about public order here; the constellation impacts each and every one on individual levels testing your level of discipline and inner strength within a quiet storm overcoming this narrow path without getting burned or losing the cool.

On August 20th Saturn squares with Mars until September 3rd intensifying through a t-square with Venus in Cancer. This constellation bears conflict on multiple levels requesting an active approach on the matter. While Saturn pushes for oversight and order Mars will retaliate based on social alignment and lobbyist stand (Venus).

If you have something to work on, it would be an excellent excuse to not engage while using a terrific level of personal ability to unfold future plans during this period. Just make sure that your task leads to a realistic approachable result because manifestation is the key for relieve.  During the impact of Venus on this constellation you may be aware of drastic positioning within your environment.

“Eclipse June 21st”




#Astrology 101

As we likely noticed the Astrology community is becoming all hyper about Eclipse season, already is for some time. And of course we are amazed to watch the “Moon eating the Sun” (Aztec expression) but that’s about it for most of us. Watching such event requires the lineup of both objects above your head at zenith so we are talking about a small range of locations on earth within a small time period of about 2 to 4 hours for the global event.

The eclipse of June 21 2020 as of today is visible between Polynesia and Central Africa closing in most effective in Tibet (see picture).

All other regions on Earth will experience the normal effects of the monthly conjunction between Sun and Moon in various angles.

The Event of the Eclipse itself based on the hype surrounding the visual effects but does not explain the actual effect on life as it does in a periodic manner every single month in your life.

So if you want to be hyper about the Eclipse, be it. It actually channels the effect of the conjunction between Sun and Moon perfectly.

The conjunction between Sun and Moon is the perfect lineup between identity and subject producing an authentic “as is” picture at peak.  

The lineup in general signifies the strongest period throughout the month embracing individual potentials at peak for this day. The effects are equal to everyone but the expression (reaction) is highly individual.

The individual influence of this conjunction is defined by the degree in each individual chart differently and embraces the output on the theme referencing the birth chart constellation and it’s interlink.

In case of the Eclipse of the 21st of June 2020 the general influence is social emotional with a strong subjective experience pattern expressed in various scenarios based on individual house placement of this transit within the posted time period.

If the constellation occurs at night (USA) the experience may lead to faint sleep patterns and vivid dreams while this constellation produces a strong authentic output of individual expression during the day (India/Middle east).

“A day in May”




#Astrology 101

You look at the skies and see the lights wondering why this has anything to do with your bills, love life or duties piling up in your head; grumpiness, happiness and events around you.

Moon is guiding your focus throughout the month setting an up and down of your moods in reference to your basic settings.

The Sun does just the same throughout the year together with Mercury and Venus in various settings. The fun part here is that these transits are alike for every living thing on earth in a slightly shifting time setting. What’s different is the personal setup in reference, creating individual responses to those shifting patterns in the sky. Therefore the whole organism on earth is united but responds individual based on its inner lineup and purpose.

The Sun is the basic vital stage in one’s identity throughout the year creating with Mercury and Venus a certain task approach with the main temper represented through Moons placement.

In order to read the transit we focus on the Sun transit and look what placements are behind on its path on the Zodiac within the range of up to 170 degrees. That area (more or less) is the beginning response pattern guiding the individual throughout the day.

On this day in May we have (Pluto/Saturn/Jupiter) on the most beginning cycle of the day reminding everyone of the great global context on subconscious levels.

Moon follows this group setting the day pattern in the 8th sector of Aquarius (a temper of resistance in favor of personal freedom/independence) locked in your head for the next 12 hours and mainly in response to the planetary settings prior Moons transit.

For someone that sleeps at that time it’s just a dream but on the other side of earth its day time creating social interlink based on the individual setup of the birth chart setting.

An hour later Mars will occur in full shine forming targets in the first sector of Pisces. This sector refers to impulsive remote vision creating alternative realities and desires meant to replace the momentary grey of the day. This sector is also developing improved channeling and synapses on physical level allowing a pinpoint targeting based on purely individualized viewpoint on subconscious levels. To access these levels one need to be sober and able to let go of the conscious control and let the inner synapses do their thing. You’ll be able to accomplish a master piece within a short period of time not even realizing it on your own.

However, in this case Moon says first “No” and then Mars says “Go” leading to a number of fugitive forms of visionary alternatives to the current stage of experience. This may be productive for some or disturbing for others based on its expression within the individual experience.

With this influence we move on and cast this situation into our memory entering the sphere of the Sun a few hours ahead of Mars.

The complex of Sun/Mercury/Venus covers between 10 and 80 degrees in each pattern signifying the core identity and its expression of any situation and individual. Sun represents the identity itself; the part that we experience as “Me” in context to any situation. So it is with transits but it refers to the time (temper of the day) within one year. So Sun and Moon represent mood and vital experience in time.

Mercury and Venus represent the weight and temper of this identity which is aligned through time. Any part that follows the Sun influences the identity so is any part ahead of the Sun meant to be the result of the identity. This leads to an extraordinary large number of combinations and settings defining the ways any individual operates in any situation. In a transit it shows the alignment of any event, its build, purpose and outcome. Both Planets are located in Gemini at this point creating a raw alignment referring to communication, local oriented conscious and flexibility regarding common tasks. The temper of this day regarding the two is roughly described as “innocent, busy and simple”.

The Sun roams the 10th sector of Taurus which is driven by consequent task management and focused scheduling creating a rather impatient atmosphere if the ideal of perfection is not taking place.

In reference to the memorized experience under Moon and Mars the situation becomes quite interesting.

If the phase of Moon/Mars was experienced at night the visions may form under the influence of the phase of the Sun turning these visions into results or hindering the day schedule pending on the birth chart setting in reference. The following transits of Mercury and Venus however encourage a positive expression in exchange with the environment.

If the Moon/Mars phase was experienced in the early afternoon the combination would create desires at night leaving the individual unsettled until late hours if the birth chart is promoting active approach on the matter.

Mercury as a result of identity is located in the second sector of Gemini which refers to authentic rather flexible and charming communication supports the theme of Venus-Rx following ahead demanding a deeper connection within a local environment.

These are the inner tendencies of one day and locally experienced by everyone in a certain time pattern. The individual effect is a different page and based on the response of the individual toward this influence.

It’s the time of the lovers and this time frame will show strong this year with Venus promoting the ultimate demand to unite being ahead of all transits and closest to earth for the next few weeks ahead. This fact can cause loving encounter as well as frustration pending on the timely setting and the personal pattern in ones chart.

“A clear view”




#Astrology 101

The Aquarius Mars trigon with Venus in Gemini will last until the end of the month allowing everyone with a playful tendency to practice unconditional flirt of the innocent kind. But the global situation puts a halt on this precious and rather rare combination.

The alternative is rather confusing with a detached likely independent Mars aiming into the empty space while Venus changes its values in unpredictable manner. In a positive environment the combination is not driven it swings and plays matching any situation as it goes. Venus ads unpredictable demands into the scenery that if pressure roams the scene combustion may occurs.

This combination is asking you to let go and fly without moral concept animating a touch and go commitment as you go. Don’t look back, don’t make much fuss about your future plans; be just yourself for the time being and you’ll see it will work out finest.

Now for tomorrow and the rest of the weekend there will be a change on the matter. Mercury in Aries will add a sextile to both ends accelerating the flip of pages creating busy but aimless activities. Mercury in Aries is easily offended and demanding which is groomed by Mars and Venus at large.

Since times created insecurity around social commitment the combination can lead to random aggression and a restless chase after bubbles in your head.

If the weekend would be a smooth and warm day on the beach you would see laughter and authentic happiness between strangers; play and invite but lets be honest this isn’t going to happen this time.

I for my part have my recorder on to collect all the thoughts that will pop out my head vanishing right after since transit Mercury will hit my natal Jupiter/Eris combination squaring natal Sun and Mercury at the same time.

I also have some writing to do which is suitable for this combination even though it will be rather a collection of fragments coming from it.

“The powerbar goes out of limits”




#Astrology 101

While the Jupiter/Pluto conjunction decays in its first run Sun approaches Eris (square Jupiter/Pluto) for its annual conjunction. This will cause a bit of a rumble, increasing aggravated activities and stretches the effects of Jupiter/Pluto excessively.

What does that mean?

This square between the forces allows the trend of empowerment to accelerate above top creating strong gains for those on the levers weakening those being held in contempt.

As of the current pandemic it means that vulnerable victims will be overrun being accounted or not. So even if we see a decline of the Jupiter/Pluto conjunct the trend will remain at peak limits through the ongoing aggravation through the square with Eris and the embracement of the Sun in this context. Since Pluto continues its square with Eris the trend of empowerment will remain after all becoming the new normal for the times ahead.

This current is supported through two other transits. Saturn is gaining in Aquarius and slows down at this time becoming stronger by the day. This transit consolidates independence of the single individual turning its back to the public realm. The transit embraces the concept of self-alignment and inner focus on necessities sorting out what is considered not needed at this time and future endeavors. For some it might be just as time stands still while for others it will be a time for preparation and reformation in which past habits and visions are tested and reformed for a better performance. In matters of the pandemic it is a helpful transit allowing the individual to cope with social distancing which is part of this transit to begin with.

The other transit is a combination of two entities (Mars and Venus) running in a “mostly” trigonal formation since yesterday until the end of April. Mars is embracing individual development and rather begs to differ while Venus consumes the easy going views of life at this time. This constellation is allowing us to cope with the worries at ease. We don’t look deeper into the sack of flies rather step aside and look for something that is enlightened rather pleasant. This is sure a good thing to just have a positive outlook in this time of global death and it helps to reduce the symptoms of stress regarding the pandemic but it also creates vulnerability if events shadow our ability to survive. We may don’t even notice the missing neighbor, friend or foe until this constellation ends. One other thing you should be aware of during this trigone: Don’t decide things in a rush. The current Venus powers want fun and miss out on the details while Mars is easily impressed by new and shiny opportunities. Step back and just wait a day or two.
