Brief Musings on Astrological Situation

This is what the Solar System looks like now from our perspective, geocentric. Many luminaries in a bundle in Aquarius which is airy, communicative, sign of social organizations, groupings, media. Sun recently conjoined Mars, Mars the martial lesser malefic, noted as god of war and a stressor. Conjunctions are mixtures of energies, synods, meetings of archetypes. Sun the grand center, soul-ar source, in a natal chart perhaps the over-arching 'ego', the cohesive Leo/leader/autocrat of the defined personality. Mixed energies with angry, active Mars means a focus of aggression, activity, fiery things. In Aquarius manifests in groups, especially democratic/autocratic conflicts like Egypt, government is polar in an Aquarian/Leo way, Leo being the One leader, Aquarius being Many.

T-Square caused by outer planets Pluto, Saturn and Uranus still there but not as focused or pinched. However, Saturn is now retrograde (going backward from our perspective) until June so the square she forms with Pluto perfects again. Saturn, greater malefic in a stressful aspect (square, 90-degrees) with Pluto has been noted by some as manifest in oil spill, earth shakes and the like. Saturn rules Capricorn, the cardinal Earth sign which Pluto is now in. Pluto is related to Hades, the underworld and undercurrents, esoterica and the occult. Some say Pluto signifies the inevitability of change and painful transformation. Pluto has been running this T-Square for the last few years, its cycle is the longest of the luminaries on these charts. Jupiter has aspected it stressfully this past year, joining Uranus near early degrees of Aries Point (first degree of Aries, equinoctial).

I could keep interpreting this all day really but look at this chart of the system from a heliocentric point of view, with Sun at center.

This chart shows the stressors more clearly. Pluto at the top squares both Saturn and Venus in Libra and Uranus and Jupiter near Aries point. It's a cardinal T-Square cause those signs are 'cardinals' or hinges, they're the first sings of the seasons and have 'cardinal' characteristics like being harbingers of a new mode, season, and being in that regard active (Cancer is cardinal, first summer sign). Also we note quite clearly Earth's opposition to Mars, Earth being in autocratic Leo and Mars (the angry red one) being in democratic Aquarius. Opposition places the Sun between these two luminaries and draws distinction between them, like the disconnected between a tritone and a tonic, notes in definite dissonance because they both attempt to exert their independence, autonomy.

These are just a few of my astrological musics on the current situation and in the future I plan on doing a little more interpretation. I, as I've said, was never formally trained and work continually to better my understanding of the symbology, associated archetypes, astronomical geometry, and art of interpretation. Much love always!
