By now, it is clear the effects of Friday's upcoming solar eclipse at 25 degrees in Capricorn have already begun to play out astrologically, in the event of the recent devastation of Haiti, considered the most catastrophic event in that country's history. Capricorn is the ruler of matters connected to the earth, and usually by the time the actual eclipse occurs, events are already unfolding. This catastrophic event also relates to the fact that Saturn is squaring Pluto in Capricorn (ruler of the earth and oil) at this time, and will continue to do so through the end of February. The eclipse has merely set this square off. The Saturn-Pluto square is 'ruthless force,' at work in the world and our lives. The clash of these two planets will continue to create situations of total upheaval that will effect the world in terms of explosive situations, wars,nuclear energy and events connected to nuclear weapons, laws and justice and limited economic growth. Saturn and Pluto are exact in a square at 4 degrees from January 21-February 10. The two planets will begin to separate at the end of February, but will return in late July when Saturn will start it's complete journey though Libra again after retrograding into Virgo one final lime April-July.
When Saturn returns to Libra late July it will Square Pluto again, but will also be opposing Uranus. The will create a T-Square, or a clash between three major planets. Saturn, Pluto and Uranus at 0 degrees of Aries will certainly manifest as unexpected, explosive situations throughout the world. Uranus at 0 degree of Aries refers to 'the world at large,' and will relate to events that will effect the entire world.
Saturn, the planet of structure and discipline went retrograde Wednesday, January 13 for it's annual 4 month yearly retrograde. It is not lost that the disaster in Haiti occurred on the very day the 'taskmaster' started it's retrograde. During Saturn's retrograde the sign it is in is emphasized, and matters will need defining.. In this case, the sign Libra rules the 7th house of partners, partnerships, the law, governments and relationships. This includes 'world partnerships,' as well as marriages in may cases, and interpersonal relationships. Pluto squaring Saturn in Capricorn rules the earth, mining, oil, banks and banking, and business, and it is in these areas we will see frustration.
Mercury, the planet of communication went stationary direct on Wednesday the 13, and will remain stationary direct at that degree through the weekend. It goes direct on Friday, but don't expect matters to return to normal for a number of days. While Mercury is stationary retrograde at 5 degrees of Capricorn the mental process is slower and more deliberate, and decisions can may be made that become final. There can be, however,a tendency toward pessimism or negativity at this time that is not based on correct observations. At 5 degrees of Capricorn, Mercury is conjunct Pluto within 2 degrees and square Saturn at 4 degrees which will certainly encourage depression and negativity, but if the energy is used wisely we can use this time it for deep thinking and through decision making although I would wait a few days to implement decisions.
Individually Pluto-Mercury aspects tend toward negativity and depression, information that is revealed, secret information, and the search for answers, often not necessarily what we wish to hear, and in the world this configuration with Mercury will reveal the full extent of the damage of Wednesday's earthquake, and the results will be more staggering than anticipated. Accidents involving travel and transport will be likely, the media will take center stage and further news will be revealed that has been hidden to this point. Arguments will be abundant.
US President Barrrack Obama will feel the weight of responsibility and the world as Friday's eclipse falls dead on his 12th house Saturn, the planet of karma and responsibility. With his planetary configurations there is no doubt he feels the heaviness of the world situation and he faces the possibility of a death of someone in his intimate circle, and it is a dangerous time for the US President. Neptune is within days of opposing his Uranus in his 7th house of partner's and he is at risk of bad or faulty advise, and will be disappointed by those he considers partners. The US President's mettle will be tested in the coming days and weeks.
Jupiter enters Pisces on January 18, changing the direction of the planet of finance, wealth and good fortune. By the end of January the US may see some positive economic news, but don't expect this to mean the end of the recession is at hand. Pisces is ruled by Neptune and it is imperative that American's and those around the world do not assume the global financial situation is close to being solved. Neptune also rules spirituality and American's are by nature a generous people, and massive rescue efforts are being directed toward Haiti as this newsletter is written.
