Month: June 2017

Every year in June, the Sun will reach its furthest point from the equator in the Northern Hemisphere. For the Northern Hemisphere it is the Summer Solstice and winter arrives in the Southern Hemisphere.  For the astrologer who uses the tropical zodiac (most western astrologers), it is also the day of Cancer ingress, the Sun moves into Cancer. Astrologers believe it has an important meaning when the Sun moves into Cardinal signs at the beginning of a new Season.  Also we can use the Cardinal ingress chart together with Eclipse charts and outer planets transit to forecast the seasonal World events.

In traditional astrology, Aries ingress is the most important chart.  However the Cancer ingress, Libra ingress and Capricorn ingress charts can also tell us what we can expect for the next three months. The aspects of this chart can give us a hint of the general theme around the whole World.

Sun Venus semi square

At this moment Venus also arrives at its greatest elongation and forms a semi square with the Sun, this usually suggests a very active financial market. Also, it indicates some difficulties in international diplomacy.

Sun Saturn Chiron T square       

Saturn Chiron squared is a major outer planet aspect of 2017, this aspect reminds us how people can get hurt by Authorities and Rules.  This also indicates old traditions could bring some problems. As the Sun is opposite Saturn and square Chiron, it will trigger this aspect and bring those issues into focus for the next three months. Some world leaders may face a huge challenge and lose their position.      

Sun sextile Uranus

As Uranus has a meaning of rebelling and revolution, when it sextile the Sun the change in society may appear in a easy way. We can see the Sun sextile Uranus as a reaction towards Sun Saturn and Chiron T square.

Mars opposite Pluto square Jupiter

The Mars Pluto aspect indicates how we will react when we face a crisis and Jupiter give a meaning of expansion.  So this aspect could suggest that we face difficulty when we act, maybe there are too many directions so that we are unable to focus on one thing,  or maybe we have high expectations for something that we are not able to achieve. This aspect could also suggest some religious conflict and  those international disputes comes to a dead end.  Nevertheless, Mars is out of bounds from Mid May to the end of June, so the conflicts and incidents could be very aggressive. *** (I have published this article in April 2017 in “IMF magazine and after that few terror attacts happen in UK in May and June.) 

As Mars is right on Ascendant of Cancer ingress chart in Europe area and it is the time of the Brexit negotiations, we can expect a huge conflict between the two sides and it may face an impasse during this time. The Sun is also very close to the Ascendant in the UK bringing immense challenges on political leaders. With Neptune and Chiron in the tenth House, some European governments could face chaotic situations especially East European countries.

As Neptune is very close to the Ascendant in the Washington area, this not only suggests the chaos in the US, but also indicates some disasters such as Earthquake, Flooding, Fog, pollution, critical epidemic situation (same in Europe as Neptune near M.C).

Jupiter is on Russia’s IC ruler 9th house.  As Jupiter forms a T square with Mars and Pluto, this may suggest some land and housing problems and territorial disputes. Sun Saturn Chiron T square affects the  Mc and Des in Beijing, this is more likely to bring political power struggle in China. Mars is right on MC of North Korea and South Korea.  There is tension building up in this area at the  time I write this article in Mid April, and this area also has Mars on Ascendent in February 2017 Lunar Eclipse chart.  So it could be more aggressive when summer coming.

Watch out! that Bloody bloody full Moon, the Lunar Eclipse will happen on 7th August 2017 at 18:10 (GMT), when the Moon at 15º25’ Aquarius opposite Sun at 15º25’ Leo. The high tension we are experiencing now and  several important incidents happening in European countries makes me give this kind of warning for this Eclipse season.  The astrological configuration of both the Solar and Lunar Eclipses are also suggesting aggressive and revolutionary qualities coming toward to us. 

On the personal level, the Lunar Eclipse shows us the result of our work, it gives us a chance to see effort that we have put in before, or maybe you will realise and scream “what have I done!“                     

It also has an important impact in our relationship, the houses location of this Lunar Eclipse (Sun and Moon) in your chart can indicate what area you should pay attention to, in your relationship, for next 6 months. More important, if you have any planets or Angles  located at 14-16º Leo-Aquarius, you may realise the huge impact that is going to affect your life.  Understanding the meaning of the planet that is touched by the Eclipse in your chart can help you prepare and get ready to participate with this life changing point.

Fire! Fire! 

The signs of this Lunar Eclipse can tell us some qualities of the events we will witness in the next six months. The elements of Eclipses are Air and Fire.  Air signs suggest human society related events, political disputes, protests, important social movements.  They also suggest natural disasters caused by powerful winds such as storms.  Moon in Aquarius emphasises that revolution and social movement could be media focus of this eclipse season.   

On another side, the Fire signs suggest aggressive actions such warfare and massacre, as well as bush fire, big fire, explosion, heat wave, drought and famine.  Sun in Leo suggests: Royal family, country leaders, celebrities, children, entertainment and wildlife are the areas which will be affected most, especially as the Solar Eclipse will also happen in Leo.

While I am writing this article there are already few terrot attct, Mancherster attact, London bridge attact  and London tower fire cause 12 death .

Mars conjunct the Sun

Jupiter trine the Moon

The planets aspect the Sun and Moon could add flavour to those events.  Mars is conjunct the Sun at Lunar Eclipse.  Traditional astrology gives both Sun and Mars hot and dry qualities.  With both located in the Fire sign Leo and Mars as a planet of action and warfare, this is a double whammy of extreme hot weather and huge aggressive incidents.  Those countries which have planets and angles near 6-20º’ Aquarius-Leo and those which have the Sun, Moon or  Mars on the Angles of the Lunar Eclipse chart are more likely to be affected. (for example Mexico, Nigeria, Algeria Tunisia, Italy, Croatia,Poland and most East European country).

  

On another side, Jupiter is trine the Moon and sextile the Sun, bringing a happy feeling and blessing.   During certain situations, wisdom and religion ( or anything you believe) can be helpful.

Important aspects during eclipse season

Saturn Chiron square

Saturn Chiron square are major outer planets aspect of 2017.  Even if it doesn’t form a tight aspect during the eclipse season, I invite you to pay more attention to this aspect.  It suggests the wounds come from the system, authorities, from political issues to private lives. The domestic issue could be conflict between parents and children, or realising those issues buried deep in the family history. On the Mundane level this could mean social injustice and those victims who have been sacrificed for political or economical reasons, people who have been ignored  by society.  For example, the change of healthcare in the U.S is going to make millions of  people lose their medical insurance.  However Chiron does not only bring feelings of hurt, it can also heal, protect from authority, create (or extend) protection towards minority groups through legislation. This is the positive side of the Saturn Chiron aspect but as this is a waning square which has inclined towards making people feel pain and fight to destroy injustice.      

Jupiter sextile Saturn

Although this sextile looks happy, never forget this is the end of the Jupiter Saturn cycle.  After the Jupiter Saturn square last year, they have come to sextile before stepping into a semi square.  Keep an eye on economic and political situations during August and September, it will give you a clue as to how the global economy will develop and how our society will change.

Jupiter square Pluto

Watch out for this aspect, the financial markets usually decline when Jupiter forms a hard aspect with Pluto.  It suggests the tension of international dispute, religious conflict, threats to social security systems, corruption and panic in financial markets. As Jupiter exact square Pluto in the end of November and early December last year and March-April 2017,  it is worth reviewing what has happened during those times, the sequel of those events might be appearing this summer.     

Mercury opposite Neptune

Mercury opposite Neptune suggests the challenge of truth, what is real and what is fantasy? Chaotic situations could appear in transport, information, communication and education. IT problems not only happen during Mercury retrograde, and Mercury will be retrograde from 10th August to  6th September and also opposite Neptune on the Solar Eclipse day. This means the influence of this aspect could last very long time even when they are no longer opposite.  So back up your data and keep it safe and double check your itineraries when you travel. 

Solar Eclipse of 21 August

Second solar Eclipse will happen right before the Sun moves into Virgo at 28 º 52’ Leo on 21st August (18:30 GMT). As this eclipse occurs in the fire sign Leo, the shocking events are related to warfare, massacre, bush fire, big fire, explosion,heat wave, drought and famine as we discussed before. 

Those aspects we discussed in Lunar Eclipse are also appearing in the Solar Eclipse.  Moreover, this New Moon trine Uranus could make suddenly cause the situation to be out of control. Uranus is related to Nuclear power and nuclear weapons, it would not be a surprise if there was an incident related to these. In another way, the New Moon trine Uranus also encourages people to make changes, from personal life to the political situation and economic system.   As Venus square Jupiter, Uranus and Mars sextile Jupiter trine Saturn also happens on the Solar Eclipse day, it suggests that if we can deeply understand the core values of different social classes and of differences of political campaigns, we may be able to work together.    

One last and most crucial thing is Mars, it conjunct North Node, widely conjunct the Sun in the Solar Eclipse chart. Any planet conjunct Moon Nodes will impose its quality in our society, people will act more bravely  or more aggressively, fighting for their own rights, but this also suggest that the tension and conflicts could be very high.

Saros cycles

This Solar Eclipse is related to Saros cycle S.S 1 North, same Saros cycles were happened in 1999, 1981, 1963, 1945 and 1927, anything happening during those times (in both Mundane level or Personal level ) could have some developments after this summer.

Trump and Solar Eclipse

If a Personal Chart has any planet connecting touching by the Eclipse point this suggests a huge change in life for that year, therefore if you have any personal planet or your ascendant, descendent M.C I.C is on 14-16º Leo-Aquarius, or 27 Leo to 0 Virgo, you are coming to a turning point of your life.  People usually ask about what is going to change.  First we look at the meaning of that planet and think about what you want to change in that area of life.  Even though we can not control everything in our life but if we can use this powerful eclipse energy to work, it can be very effective. U.S President Trump has his Ascendent on 29 degree Leo, also close to Mars in his chart,  the Solar Eclipse is right on it and nevertheless he was born on the Lunar Eclipse day, this means  the Eclipse has a very powerful influence on him. Ascendent is about his presence, outlook and relationship with this world.  When the Eclipse happens on Angles usually suggesting a huge change of personal life, this could be very difficult for him.
