THE POPULACE
Virgo Ascendant, Ruler Merc cnj Mars Cancer, Moon in the 6th house.
The people are focused on practical matters – health care, working conditions, food safety, the environment, agriculture, and veterans affairs. Important news concerning the above this quarter.
ASC = Mar/Ur – Increased emotional tensions in the populace, intolerance, hair trigger temper, urge for freedom, militia-type groups active, strong potential for violence, civic unrest, disruption of everyday life, bombs, explosions, riots.
MC = Sat/Ur – Breakdown of the old order, attempts to suppress change, quash liberation, limit freedom. The forces of change demand new structures, laws, institutions.
THE GOVERNMENT
MC Gemini – Republicans have no principles, willing to say anything, change mind, amoral, liars. Some may suddenly change their positions, become turncoats. No coherent governing principles.
Congress, represented by the 11th house, is the seat of a huge power struggle and fight. Merc/Mars (11) opposite Sat/Pl (5). GOP administration goes on the attack against Congress and in turn, Congress steps up to use their powers to fight the administraton. This fight is a DEATH MATCH, no holds barred power struggle. Desire to wound or kill, dirty tactics, secrets exposed, cruel words, blackmail, and threats.
This huge power struggle will involve social and political organizations as well as charismatic and influential individuals such as celebrities, sports figures, and social media activists. This is an all consuming struggle that touches on people’s deepest survival instincts. A war of words is unleashed. This powerful opposition involving the 5th-11th axis is a battle for influence, for determining the social structure of our society. We are at war over laws, rules, norms, and a guiding social vision.
Impeachment hearings? Strong yes. Ruler of the 11th (congress) is the Aquarius Moon. The Congress is being guided and led by women. This Moon has a strong response to events, wields powerful influence, impacts the outcome. She looks out for the interests of the common people. Moon is sextile Jupiter at the IC, in direct opposition to the MC. I think the Dems in Congress led by Nancy Pelosi finally take strong decisive actions to oppose the president in response to provocations in service to the nation, not as a punitive act.
The president, represented by the Sun in 10th is isolated. This Sun makes no significant aspects to any other planets or angles. It hangs out alone with no real allies or support. While there may be a huge political struggle going on , the president is increasingly sidelined. Another signal that impeachment proceedings may begin this quarter.
THE COURTS/RULE OF LAW
Ninth house with Taurus on the cusp, Ruler Venus cnj MC. A powerful T-square lines up with the MC/IC of Venus(10) – Jup(4) – Nep(7). The SCOTUS and/or the AG are acting specifically to bolster and support the administration. Decisions may be made in his favor regarding executive privilege, limits of executive power, and/or ability to defy congressional oversight. The AG continues to wield its power to benefit the president and oppose the Democrats exercise of authority.
AG or SCOTUS GOES TOO FAR. Venus inflated by Jupiter and Neptune results in overreach. We may see the dissolution of constitutional principles and erosion of trust in the judicial branch of government as it clearly comes down on the side of the GOP and the president. Neptune in the 7th represents foreign influence secretly sabotaging and undermining our government, political process, the courts, and our national stability. Court or DOJ decisions may be the trigger that unleashes social unrest as well as Congressional power moves. such as impeachment.
THE ECONOMY
The economy is overheated. A bubble economy. Erosion of underlying value and economic strengths while people are seduced or manipulated into irrational exuberance. Shocks come from the disruption of international markets, attacks on trading partners. Sudden upsets and crises occur and the administration is easily provoked to strike back, taking rash actions without assessing the impacts on markets. No evidence of sober, realistic progress on beneficial trade agreements.
