Fall Equinox USA 2020

Fall Equinox USA 2020

Chart: Sept 22, 2020  9:32 AM  Washington DC

Scorpio Rising: The populace is focused on issues of survival, life and death, feelings of betrayal, rage, vengeance, the need for radical change, regeneration, and empowerment.

Ascendant at midpt of Sat/MC: The people experience inhibition of growth or development, suffering caused by others, unfortunate circumstances, shared sadness/anxiety, separation from each other.

The Moon, also representing the people, is in the second house, represents they have particular concerns about money, security, the economy, and the values we express and embody through our choices.

Extremely tight and tense T-Square between:

Mercury (12) – Mars (6) – Pluto/Sat (3).

The focal point is Pl/Sat in the third house of communication, transportation, and early education. Jupiter also is close by. We can see social media and street protests being activities that are a huge focus. Possibilities include:

The state officially acts to suppress and control speech.

Hate speech floods the zone.

Public speech empowers people to stand up to repression by authorities

Protests block free passage of vehicles in the streets.

Protestors are struck by vehicles, causing grave injury or death.

Trump continues his moves to control the education of youth.

Mars in Aries, at the critical degree of 26,  in the 6th house of laborers, service workers, health workers, military, vets, and police.  “The situation has been driven to extremes and has reached a crisis point.”

Armed police and/or military are activated to suppress speech/protests. Potential for violent suppression VERY HIGH.

Workers are angry and in crisis, initiate actions including protests, strikes, and sick outs.

Mercury in Libra in 12th house of hidden enemies, conspiracies, spies, sabotage, prisons, hospitals, and secret ballots (ie the election). 

Investigations and insider whistleblowers release damning information.

Hidden enemies attack the country using disinformation, and social media.

In some districts, ballots are held up, denounced, hidden, lost, destroyed impeding election results.In other districts ballots are zealously guarded, protected, and tallied with extra care.

People in prisons and detention centers are abused and threatened. Dire conditions are exposed. Potential horrifying news of mass death.

Republicans/Trump:

10th house Leo, Venus in Leo in 10th tightly inconjunct both Jupiter and Neptune. Ve=Ju/Ne

The president demands to be idolized, uses seduction, flattery, lies, and propaganda to boost popularity. Wants gains and glory without effort. Scandals and losses mount.

The Sun is in the 11th house and MAKES NO ASPECTS TO ANY OTHER PLANETS (peregrine). The president is completely isolated and dependent upon the Senate for power. He no longer has close working relationships with party leaders. He is a figurehead who is being increasingly sidelined and excluded by his party, who are propping him up while they cut him out at the same time.

Transits to Trump’s personal chart show his popularity continues to decline, with another significant drop in approval in October in response to problems piling up faster than he can handle them and one more big “reality check” that pierces through the delusion that he is “making America great again.”

Trump is in the midst of incredibly stressful transits (Pl cnj Sat, Sat opp Ve, Ur sq Pl) to his chart which are triggering a very dangerous period. He is fearful of losing everything and in response is capable of inciting acts of violence and committing mass murder all while thinking of himself as a victim and martyr. 2021 looks to be a year when his health fails and it appears he will be institutionalized (prison? nursing home?).

Democrats/Biden:

4th House Aquarius, ruler Saturn in Capricorn cnj Pluto sq Mars and Mercury (in T-square). Aquarius denotes Democrats are working from a place of ideals, fairness, equality, and social justice.

The Democrats feel the existential threat to the institutions of government and their fighting spirit is awakened. Exposure of classified information and results of investigations, attempts to limit police and hold them accountable,  willingness to break norms and traditions to protect and defend essential elements of constitutional democracy, speaking out forcefully and authoritatively, responsive to citizens protests and speech. It appears they are finally WILLING TO FIGHT BACK because they feel it is the right thing to do to advance their ideals.

The Democrats are both beleaguered and become deeply empowered. The politicians support the people in the streets and may join them.

The Economy:

Scorpio 2nd house with Sagittarius intercepted. Moon in (2) inconjunct Uranus (7)

Ruler of (2) -Mars sq Sat. Contraction of the economy. Onset of depression/recession.

Most people (Moon in 2) are very concerned about the economy. Many businesses fail. People living in austerity mode, losing security and assets. YET there is irrational exuberance and a cheerful optimism existing on a parallel plane (intercepted sign). This upbeat economy is in for an unexpected shock. Possible large, sudden drops in the stock market in reaction to unforeseen events.

The Courts/DOJ

Cancer on the 9th house, ruler Moon in Sagittarius (2) inconj Uranus.

The Moon represents the AG, the Supreme Court, major rulings by the courts.

Focus on issues concerning women, the family, health, and national identity. (abortion rights, the ACA, same-sex marriage, DACA, the census counting non-citizens)

Moon is conjunct the fixed star Antares, the “Heart of the Scorpion.” Connotes ruthless ambition, tough, belligerent, pugnacious, destructive, malevolent, intensity and drama.

Bill Barr will do all in his power to destroy the liberal democracy of the USA.  He will stop at nothing. No laws, norms, nor even the Constitution will deter him.  He embodies all of the qualities of Antares as he wages war on the Rule of Law, First Amendment rights, and Separation of Church and State.

Likewise, the GOP Senate will seek to install a new Justice who embodies the Antares archetype, willing to steamroll precedents and norms in service to the same mission.

What does the Uranus aspect suggest? Unexpected events, shocking events, upsets, accidents, injuries or illness, land mines, unforeseen difficulties and reversals.

The path to appointing a new Justice may hit a snag (revelations, illness/absences of senators)

Reversals and upsets of lower court rulings or precedent

Bill Barr could have an accident or health emergency

The SCOTUS could uphold the ACA – which would be a reversal of the lower court ruling.

Foreign Relations: Uranus inconjunction in the 7th also suggests our relationships with foreign nations, both allies and enemies, are likely to undergo significant changes. Some will be shocked and distance themselves. Our foreign debt balloons. Some foreign nations may even impose sanction on us. Look for other nations to do unexpected things to either help us through this crisis or try aid Trump in his attempts to solidify his hold on power.
