Libra Equinox - What Happens in the USA the Next Six Months

 Analysis and Predictions

Tuesday ♂︎ Day, September 22, 2026, Washington DC (click to enlarge)

The Elements

Bird's eye overview shows: Fire 2+ Ascendant, Air 2+ Descendant, Water 2+Imum coeli (bottom of the sky). The correct way to count the elements is only taking into account the traditional planets. No Earth whatsoever, except for the Mid Heaven. From the Elements point of view, the energy is equally distributed in Fire (movement, action), Air (communications), Water (emotional), but lacks foundation on reality. In summary, there could be a lot of action and information about that activity that will result in heightened emotional response, but that may not reflect the actual reality.

Modalities

All angles are in Cardinal Signs, which indicates radical changes, being pulled for change in all directions. 

Sect

It is a night chart (night sect), meaning that not only the Sun is in its fall because of Libra, but is also below the horizon and cannot be seen. It is night time! The Moon, Venus and Saturn rule the night. The Moon, Venus and Saturn rule the night. And these three planets are in Signs they don't like, so their energy is uncomfortable. 

Ascendant and its Ruler

Aries Ascendant already talks about impulsive action, the country being assertive/aggressive. Aries is the Sign associated with war. It also represents pioneering, something first or the first time some event happens. The Ascendant degree 26º corresponds to Taurus(1), signifying that the main concern of the country is the economy, money, banks and finances. Taurus also is looking for stability, especially economic security, but its ruler Venus in Scorpio is extremely unhappy which means crisis and a profound transformation. In addition, Venus will turn retrograde and hit the 6º ♏️ 34' on October 15th and again December 13th, 2026, in order to reevaluate things, and make a final decision.

The Ascendant is in the Sagittarius Decan, a Sign associated with fighting for freedom, with enthusiasm and optimism. But Sagittarius is a very impatient warrior, because it holds high ideals of morality and trusts its inspiration. When Sagittarius is convinced of something, it becomes preachy and will spread his convictions far and wide, often by force. If you don't believe me, just look at the US Sibley chart!

Thanks for reading! This post is public so feel free to share it.💕

The ruler of Sagittarius, Jupiter is in the fifth house at 18º. Astrologer Deborah Houlding (2) says that, at the mundane level, this house represents "the ammunition of a town under attack, ambassadors and diplomats, and all public places of enjoyment and recreation." According to the late astrologer Nikola Stojanovic's "degree theory"(1), the 18º is the evilest one in any sign, associated with cruelty, awful adversity and bad luck. So, already from the Ascendant angle, you see no pretty picture. But that is not all.

The Ascendant ruler, Mars is in Cancer, 4th house and at 26º degree as well. Mars is considered unhappy there also, trying to defend and protect the home country, the land, people, families, homes and houses. Mars is exactly square the Ascendant. This indicates the people is in conflict with the country and maybe fighting to free themselves from identifying or belonging to it in its current situation. And Mars in Cancer is inclined to act surreptitiously, sideways like a crab. Finally, 26º associated with Taurus, Mars is also defending the property of the land, properties in general. There could be real estate problems, land occupation or dismembering of the States union.

If that is not enough, Chiron is rising, representing a vulnerable period. Chiron at 29º, a degree associated with the Sign of Leo, shows danger for children and authority figures in general. The 29º is also critical, indicating urgency to finish the task. Mars applying to the square to Chiron, means that whatever action is taken will end up causing great harm and sorrow everywhere. 

The Sun

The Sun in Libra, is of course, debilitated, but being a night chart adds to its weakness. It rules the chart's Jupiter and the 5th house contributing to what was explained before about it. Sun at 0º Cardinal has a global influence, reason why the Equinox chart has such an important incidence for the whole world. 

Sun located in the 7th house of allies or open enemies, competitors or simple opponents, giving them relevance. And it's square Lilith in Capricorn which represents the shadow of control (3).

"Primary Fear: fear of neglect/ not being acknowledged
Self-judgment: how well one stands out or apart
Issues: control issues; attention-seeking behavior
Projection: negative reaction to bossy, showy, or attention-seeking
people; rebellion against being told what to do."(3)

And,

"The Black Moon in Capricorn manifests as a need to control the course of events. When this shadow dominates, we have a tendency to be demanding. We can go to extreme efforts to gain attention. We have definite ideas about the way things should be and others often succumb to the force of our will. Frequently we refuse to give up until someone –anyone - acknowledges what we have to offer or agrees with what we think is best. A little bit of recognition goes a long way with us, but so does a little bit of neglect, and Black Moon in Capricorn has a long memory. But interpersonal relationships suffer when we wear down another's free will to come into compliance with our own. This results in lackluster relationships where the joyful spark of life becomes extinguished. We are very hard workers, but we can also expect a lot from others."(3)

This aspect may mean that an authority figure is attempting to exercise control using extreme force with the goal to dominate the situation. But the Sun opposing Neptune indicates delusions of grandeur, and a false sense of self, self deception or the open intention to deceive others.

The Moon

Moon in Aquarius focuses intellectually on the future. It's a cold mind, and in the 11th house dominates the collective consciousness. 

It's a gibbous Moon in sesqui-quadrate to the Sun, which indicates that whatever was repeatedly done up to now has not worked out and something new needs to be done (4). 

Conclusion 

There is a lot of information on this chart, but it would be too long of an article. Count on surprising news (Uranus in the third house), financial problems (Venus in the 8th) responding with actions by the public or people (Mars in the 4th), etc. 

The tropical zodiac is based on the Solstices and Equinoxes

In any case, I hope you now have an idea of what to expect for the next three months until the Solstice, when another chart can be dressed for the following three months. However, the Equinox chart may last for six months until the next one in April as well.

Taurus New Moon and Mars Opposite Pluto - Financial Matters on the Negotiating Table

Mars Opposite Pluto

November 3, 2024
January 3, 2025
April 26, 2025

This week, astrology clearly shows us that our relationships reach a maximum level of tension, where they either break down completely or we are forced to renegotiate them by balancing the terms of the contract. The issues in dispute have a purely financial or economic basis.

Those who feel they are in a position of absolute authority are acting for their own benefit (Mars in Leo), but they are counterbalanced by the power of a society undergoing profound transformation (Pluto in Aquarius). Each party is intensely convinced that they are right.

The New Moon in Taurus presents the reality check and triggers the outcome. In Taurus, we begin a cycle in which we focus on obtaining the resources necessary for our survival and seek stability. These events could also generate important changes in financial matters, distribution of goods, and banking institutions.

The results will be seen with the full moon in Taurus in six months on November 5, 2025.

Watch the video where I give a detailed report on how the conflict is escalating phase by phase (of the Moon) until it culminates on Sunday, April 27, 2025.

2023 New Year Vibes

January 1st, 2023 Chart

Dominant Elements & Energies

The Earth element is predominant by far. The dominant modality is Cardinal. The stronger planets are Jupiter, Venus and Mercury, in that order.

Capricorn Moon Cycle

The abundance of Earth energy will probably translate into growing struggles in the material reality (Taurus Capricorn trine) with increasingly stark climate events. The year starts within the Capricorn Moon Cycle, with the crescent gibbous Moon. The trine between the Moon and the Sun is the stage of growth and increase during the moon cycle. With several planets in Capricorn, this Moon cycle indicates that the whole year will be austere, and will increasingly present serious organizational and systemic issues that need fixing (Virgo empty leg of the trine).  For instance, extreme temperatures may devastate Nature and impact all forms of life on Earth, including human life. The problems with distribution of energy and food will probably increase and require innovative (Uranus in Taurus) ways of dealing with them. And health issues may ensue requiring urgent attention.

It's time to look at reality in the face and understand how humans have been abusing natural resources. Excessive and unnecessary consumption in certain places of the globe has overburdened other productive areas to the maximum to the point of depleting resources. Furthermore, in great proportion, most resources are later wasted by those who think that are entitled to having ever more.  

The Capricorn Taurus trine is helping to put this reality in blunt and undeniable evidence. Uranus jolting Nature in all manners of ways, brings one surprise after another inviting humans to wake up to reality. This brings forward the negligence and misadministration of the material aspects of life by the corporations and government institutions (Capricorn), which, farther from seeking the wellbeing of the people they are supposed to serve, only rule by the principles of profit and ambitious capital growth. 

Additionally, Saturn, the Lord of all these planets in Capricorn is still in Aquarius, therefore social restrictions, communication censorship, human rights violations don't go away yet. Saturn moving to Pisces will bring other reasons and ways to regulate and control the masses.

Pluto's 15-year transit in Capricorn has relentlessly brought out to light the devastating consequences of those corrupted practices. In the era of globalization and with the help of  mass media, the citizens of the world realize how they have been abused and enslaved for the benefit of a few, while these few have been building a pyramid of power on the heads and shoulders of the masses. Pluto's work has decomposed the system, and reduced it to dust. The established system is not able to cope with the current reality. Governments try desperately to patch here and there the broken sociopolitical organization, in unsuccessful attempts to control spending, inflation, production, employment, and other issues. 

With Pluto in Capricorn, the system has rotted to the core. There is no way back. Pluto destroys, demolishes, decomposes, and then, uses the compost to give birth to the new. 

The Spring of the new life is near. It's a slow process that may start in March 2023 with the shift of Saturn and Pluto to new Signs. It will continue through February 2026 when Saturn conjoins Neptune in Aries. Slowly but surely, it's coming. 

Distribution of Energies on the Chart

The planets are distributed in the last and first quadrants of the natural zodiac. This means that the old is ending (through Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces) and the birthing labor of the new has already started at the same time (through Aries, Taurus and Gemini). 

Pluto in Capricorn, Saturn in Capricorn and Aquarius, and Neptune in Pisces have been in charge of the political demolition, social restructuring, and final dissolution -respectively- of the current global system. 

Eris, the Goddess of Discord, in Aries for the last almost hundred years has been reclaiming the right of existence, especially for those left out of the 'gods' banquet'. The maverick Uranus gave a futuristic perspective to the human identity (transiting Aries). Chiron came behind clamouring for those who are 'different' to be recognized and accepted as contributors in society. Jupiter is now augmenting those Aries energies until May 2023. With intense and shocking shake ups, Uranus in Taurus has been waking up citizens around the world, with urgency. He urges us to attend to our environmental reality and the way we use resources, with the objective of finding new ways of sustaining life on Earth.

2023 Chart Analysis

The Cardinal energy from Capricorn to Aries, stimulates us to change, to do something related to the planets symbolism and the houses they transit on your natal chart.

The final dispositors of the January First 2023 chart are Venus and Neptune. Venus in Capricorn deals with the tangibles of life, or the material reality. Money, resources, and all 'substance' and energy sources that sustains life are on the table, as well as the urge to create peace and harmony. To talk about Neptune in Pisces, the astrologer will need to write a book. Suffice to say here that Neptune activates the disease and health axis of Virgo-Pisces, where all imbalances are symbolized. The combination of Venus and Neptune brings confusion to the tangible world, and possible dissolution of certain aspects of it. Things may not be as they seem. 

Venus, Mercury and Cupid, Louis Michel Van Loo

Mercury retrograde in Capricorn increases people's mental focus on the need to organize the material reality. In addition, all Mercury retrogrades of this year will take place in the Earth Signs of Capricorn, Taurus, and Virgo, highlighting this focus. 

Mercury Stationary Retrograde

Hygiea is prominent for several reasons. For one, Hygiea is the 'cutting' planet, or "the planet facing, in a clockwise direction, the largest open space between two planets in the horoscope. [...] It shows the manner in which the individual enters into new experiences."1 This means that for people to initiate any activity or experience, they have to take disease prevention into consideration. If the Sun is considered the first planet instead, that means that people will think first of protecting themselves, when entering new experiences (Sun in Capricorn can build walls around). 

In addition, with Hygiea at the top of the World chart in square to Jupiter in Aries, people will have to give high priority to a better planification of disease prevention. Governments will have to better fund and manage the public healthcare system. Not only that, but Jupiter semi-square Uranus may indicate the need or demand for the freedom to decide for oneself when it comes to healthcare. However, it could also reflect legislation of technological innovations in the area of healthcare and disease prevention, which could be activated surprisingly and quickly.

In the local Greenwich chart, the Cancer midheaven would indicate that the maximum priority for people is finding refuge and safe places in order to thrive. Yet Lilith in Cancer reflects the fear of abandonment and neglect of families. This sound logical given the massive migration movements due to hunger, wars, terrorism and crime, repeated catastrophic natural events, and all kind of issues due to irresponsible stewardship of the material realm. Their consequences have recently gone out of control in such a way that societal and governmental organizations can't contain nor solve them.

If that is not enough, Ceres also opposes Jupiter. The overwhelming need of people in dire straits for protection, shelter, care, or 'nurturing' becomes an impossible task. "The inability to say 'no' to other people's needs can deplete one's own nurturing reserves."2

Ceres, Goddess of the Harvest

The Sun square Chiron indicates difficulties, restrictions and obstacles on our efforts to fulfill the essence of our life mission. "The expression of our lives is dependent upon attending -seriously, consciously, and intentionally- to our wounds and issues"3 This year, people will be provoked and urged to attend to their core wounds, in order to be able to express the fullness of their essence. However, many will rationalize that they have no such inadequacies of being, even though their shortcomings and vulnerabilities will be so evident that some will vent them out openly, justifying themselves with pride. Hearing people say 'what can I do, I'm this way?' is a common excuse for not doing anything to improve, even though they recognize that something is wrong with them. This year then presents the opportunities to question those assumptions because, unfortunately, the creativity necessary to face the times challenges is blocked by stubbornly keeping stuck in one's detrimental ways.

Mercury square Eris reflects expressions of discontent, There are news, communications and plans from the top down powers about people protesting to defend their own rights. Eris public rebellion represents the disenfranchised of society who strive to demand recognition and acceptance. Diverse ethnic groups, LGBTQ, disabled individuals, refugies, asylum seekers, victims of slavery, and all sort of displaced and rejected people claim to receive equal protection under the human rights. Governmental institutions, corporations and authorities in power are forced to issue statements (Mercury rx) related to their claims.

Venus conjunct Pluto intensifies desires, however, being in the sign of Capricorn people can expect to feel overwhelmed by fear of not having enough money, food or resources. On the one hand, people will obsessively increase their focus on financial matters. Due to high inflation and other economic problems, the majority of the population is tightening their belts. On the other, this will probably impact banks, mortgages, loans, debts, insurance, taxes, corporate money, most especially superfluous spending habits and the purchase of luxuries. Bankruptcies could break the financial market, and banks may need to completely overhaul their financial system (Capricorn). The USA most probably trigger this domino effect due to their Pluto return last hit December 28, 2022, when Venus is already in orb conjunct transiting Pluto.

Birth of Venus

Of course, in order to survive, businesses and corporations (represented by Mercury Rx) are reviewing their commercial practice and will not hesitate targeting the rich with high scale products at unaffordable prices for the common folk. Performing arts, music events, art festivals, art galleries and all other artistic expressions may now be reserved just for those with big pockets.

People in relationships will be overburden due to money issues. Not only that, but couple's feelings intensify and may generate possessiveness, jealousy and even a high level of abuse that could translate in 'brutal love' and increase the rate of femicides. This influence will affect the ways people relate romantically and socially. Relationships will experience deep transformations for good or no so good, resulting in breakups or breakthroughs. 

Regarding esthetics, creativity, beauty and creative expression, for example, women may take the fashion of the 'femme fatale', wearing intense darker makeup colors and black clothing. Plastic surgery may come back in fashion as well. 

Peace is more difficult to attain, and countries in conflict will have strong power struggles before and if they come to an accord and bury their arms.  

In conclusion, 2023 is a year of challenges and the urge to change the ways people deal with the material reality. Definitely, it's not a year for the faint of heart. Courage and endurance will be our good advisors.

Daily Transits - December 7-8, 2021

 Mars Activation of Eclipses

    Today, Mars enters the last few degrees of Scorpio. First, Mars square Jupiter, then hits the November 19 Lunar Eclipse 27º, and soon enough joins the South Node of the Moon in Sagittarius. 

    Your strong will goes overboard and may cause you to impulsively pursue your passionate goals with forceful actions. You may become so obsessed with your desire to win, that instead of openly ask for it, you rather manipulate your way towards it. Now you have a strategic plan, and you follow it with accuracy. However, the exaggerated confidence in your determination may actually fire back because your aggressive attitude may not be welcome by others in the 'game'.

    Mars Jupiter overbearing energy impacts the themes of the Lunar Eclipse. When you go back to the events that happened back then, or contemplate the Scorpio Taurus themes of your personal chart you may understand the significance of transiting Mars influence on them. 

    But at the mundane level, a subversive strategy, or a strategic discipline with an iron fist can be used in regards to fix something on the financial markets, currencies, state/countries solvency, national debt, and the distribution of goods and food. Stay tuned, changes in everything related to values in general and shared values in particular are on the table for all year 2022. This include currency, the banking system, but also how we evaluate, appraise, and appreciate everything in life. These themes will be worked out by the current Venus retrograde period in Capricorn, especially as she joins Pluto, since they are the respective rulers of the Taurus Scorpio axis and the upcoming Nodal Axis shift. 

Blessings, Sat Nam.

Grand Cross With Pluto Opposite Natal USA Mercury

"I want you!" Enlist! by James Montgomery Flagg, 1940.
National Archives, Army Recruiting Bureau

    Let's imagine the Grand Cross is a boxing ring. And there are four fighters. On one corner, Pluto in Capricorn. Next corner, Eris in Aries. Then USA Mercury in Cancer. Finally, on the last corner the Sun and Mars in Libra. Each boxer is against the other three! These days are very volatile in USA politics. 

    Pluto has been opposing USA Mercury since 2020, simultaneously square Eris in Aries, hence the heavy propagandistic tone of the politicians and activists at all levels and about all subjects. The last time Pluto exactly opposed US Mercury was January 1st, 2021 and we all know what happened just 5 days later.

Now, the Sun and Mars entered a 3 degree orb to the Grand Cross by opposing Eris and squaring Pluto. The configuration will perfect around October 17 through the 21, when first Sun then Mars reach the 24º mark in Libra.  Expect explosive antagonism between opposing camps, factions, sectors, opinions, parties. Each band will try to 'enlist' you. Try to stay neutral and observe. The 'air' is so hot, that a symbolic fire can start. And I guess, it all started in Texas. In fact, it all started with the previous USA President, and a 'little help' with the unbridled social media and its convoluted logarithms.  

May the common people spread peace and understanding instead of anger and hate. May we all reflect (Mercury retrograde) on what is really important and learn to live together in harmony to preserve the good values and discard the bad ones (Pluto transit 2d house of USA chart).

Sat Nam.
