For Americans, a happy new year it will not be. The transiting planets have formed an angular Cardinal Grand Cross (a/k/a Grand Square)…known in astrological circles as the Make-or-Break aspect.
If you draw a line from 1st house transiting Pluto across the horoscope to 7th house natal Sun and then draw a line across the horoscope from transiting 4th house Uranus to 10th house natal Saturn you can see the cross (square) pattern.
Transiting Pluto is in the sign Capricorn on the cusp of the 2nd house of the country’s wealth and along with Saturn, ruler of Capricorn, rules that house. Pluto square natal Saturn means adversity on a huge scale as traditions move into a period of breakdown and the population is left with dealing with corruption at high levels. Austerity to the forefront…a great deal of creativity will be required to overcome limitations as people discover old solutions no longer apply.
Transiting Pluto (globalization, destruction, transformation, renewal) square transiting Uranus (change, revolution) represents evolutionary change, the energy bringing massive social, political and economic upheaval leaving frustration and stress in its wake.
Transiting Pluto opposing natal Sun fosters power struggles and the forcing on others into taking a course of action against their will. Domination to the max, as exhibited by the leader of the U.S., and the inability to leave well enough alone. The dangerous part of this combination is that it may trigger a conflict with a powerful person.
Transiting Uranus opposition natal Saturn (government) represents insecurity based upon instability. This means whatever government is in power will be highly unstable.
Transiting Uranus square natal Sun (president) brings external events that upset a course of action.
There is no assistance from transiting retrograde Jupiter, semi-sextile natal Neptune and sextile natal Mars, for it triggers the Neptune/Mars war configuration.
We have before us a good news/bad news state of affairs: Satan’s spawn is demoted while all hell reigns down on the general public. There is a good chance he will be taken down by a military coup, as Uranus is the main ruler of the 6th house. Transiting Pluto, ruler of the 12th house of secret enemies, is only 8 minutes from exact opposition to the Sun (president). I don’t know of any military coup that benefited the general public…staying home rather than mingling in the world during the upheaval may be the wisest plan of action.
By now everyone reading my essays should be prepared to the max for body, soul (mind) and spirit. Fortify feelings of love within so that it may defuse fear, for where fear is, love is not.
