THE CURRENT QUALITY OF TIME for August 2022

THE CURRENT QUALITY OF TIME for August 2022

Mars, Uranus, node in Taurus

We can expect plenty of excitement in the first few days of August. Mars, Uranus and the Moon's Node form a conjunction in Taurus during the first two days. Expect the unexpected, shakeups and proverbial or even real tremors during these days. Fortunately, the Sun is in a harmonious aspect with Jupiter in Aries. This time may well bring sudden breakthroughs and energetic progress for the better. However, what was already poorly established before could now collapse. In any case, the events of these days will have a great impact on the further events of the year and will affect many. At this time, foolish actions taken in the heat of the moment are dangerous and can have serious and lasting consequences.

Mercury enters Virgo on August 4.

It now becomes more apparent what has actually happened in the last few days. However, it is too early for a final judgment. Mars squares Saturn in Aquarius on August 7, which could put a strain on frustration tolerance. Venus in Cancer simultaneously makes a trine to Neptune in Pisces, an opposition to Pluto in Capricorn on the 9th, and then enters Leo on the 11th. The mood swings back and forth between compassion and sarcasm before we finally remember our own dignity. The Sun forms a trine to Chiron in Aries on the 8th and a square to Uranus and the Moon's Node on the 11th. For a moment there is room for maneuver, which should be used decisively, especially if there is an opportunity to address misunderstandings or old hurts. Some old issues can be cleared up and closed now.

Full moon in Aquarius

The climax of this time is the Aquarius Full Moon on August 12, which is conjunct Saturn and square Uranus and the Moon's Node. This highly charged quality of time is intense and challenging. However, with courage and determination, its creative potential can be liberated and utilized. An important step in a collective "birthing process" is now taking place, and as with a real birth, there is now only one possible direction of movement: forward. Stability now means surrendering to the flow of development while remaining focused. On August 14, when the Sun opposes Saturn and Mars reaches a trine to Pluto, the difference between real authority and authoritarian behavior could become clearly visible.

Mercury

The second half of the month is clearly marked by the activity of Mercury, the messenger of the gods. It trines Uranus and the lunar nodes on August 16, opposes Neptune on the 21st, and trines Pluto on the 22nd. Mars enters Gemini on August 20, and the Sun enters Virgo on the 23rd. Life continues, and dealing with day-to-day matters allows no delay, although much improvisational talent is now required. There is lively communication, although not everything that is proclaimed now will necessarily be true. Especially in the days of the New Moon on August 27, nerves could be raw. Mars is square to the New Moon, Venus forms a square to Uranus at the same time as well as an opposition to Saturn (exact on the 28th). Personal claims may have to be put aside, and sensitivities - one's own as well as those of others - may have to be endured.

THE CURRENT QUALITY OF TIME for July 2022

THE CURRENT QUALITY OF TIME for July 2022

Mars and Pluto

The quality of time in July is highly charged and somewhat volcanic. Unsettling or sudden unforeseen events could spur a development that requires a fundamental reassessment of the situation. Right at the beginning of the month, on July 2, fiery Aries Mars squares bone-hard Capricorn Pluto. There is power-conscious and assertive action, sometimes with open violence. Mercury in lively Gemini squares Neptune in Pisces at this time, as well as trines Saturn in Aquarius. The quality of time could bring ambiguity and new hotbeds of conflict that need a lot of attention to keep them from escalating further. There are powerful forces at hand now, and some can accomplish almost superhuman things now.

Cancer

On July 5, Mars enters Taurus and Mercury enters Cancer. The tension of the last few days diminishes somewhat. The sensitive Cancer Sun squares Chiron in Aries on July 8, and Mercury is in tension with Jupiter on the 9th. Pain and hurt cannot be so easily suppressed now, risks must be reconsidered. The Capricorn Full Moon on July 13, in wide conjunction with Pluto, reveals that there will be no way back to the past. However, there is a large gap between desire and reality at this time, painfully noticeable especially on July 14, when the lighthearted Gemini Venus squares Neptune and unfounded hopes may vanish into thin air.

When Venus reaches sensitive Cancer on July 18, the quality of time changes significantly. The Sun is in trine to Neptune, Mercury opposes Pluto, the Moon makes a conjunction with Neptune, and Chiron becomes stationary retrograde a day later. It could be a moment of insight, when both the tragedy and the full potential of a situation can be recognized and felt. Then, when the Sun is in opposition to Pluto on July 20, someone exercises their authority.

Mars, Uranus and node

Things could happen in the last third of the month that will have a lasting impact on the rest of the year. On July 22, the Sun enters proud Leo. Mercury, which preceded it three days earlier, is in trine to Jupiter on July 23, heralding great things to come. Venus, which squares Jupiter on the 25th, also seems to be involved and is festively adorned. On July 26, Uranus and the Moon's Node are conjunct at 18° Taurus, Mercury squares Mars, which will also conjunct Uranus and the Moon's Node a few days later (August 1-2). Be prepared to be confronted with something totally unexpected during these days. Suddenly, something could happen that overturns all plans. It is worth noting that in this degree area in October, the square of Saturn and Uranus becomes almost exact for the last time. It is quite possible that the events of this time will again lead to social tensions and upheavals in the fall of the year.

The New Moon in Leo on the 28th is entirely under the impression of the events of the previous days. Some now feel self-confident, satisfied with what they have achieved and celebrate their success. But there will also be critical voices who already suspect that the price of this new development will be high. Then, when Mercury reaches the opposition to Saturn on July 31, the consequences will be more apparent.

THE CURRENT QUALITY OF TIME for June 2022

 

THE CURRENT QUALITY OF TIME for June 2022

Mercury

This month it is advisable to communicate sincerely and thoughtfully. Mercury turns direct on June 3 and makes a square to Saturn at the same time. Saturn, in turn, begins its long phase of retrograde one day later (until October 23). This is a good time to have serious conversations and finalize agreements. It may still take time to consider all eventualities, but with a realistic attitude, workable agreements are now possible even with difficult partners. On June 10, Mercury trines Pluto before entering Gemini on June 13. Then, an uncovered affair or a leaked secret could have consequences. Especially on June 12, when Venus conjoins Uranus in Taurus, this can cause serious upsets in relationships. Remain honest and sincere, and try to take any conflicts with your loved ones seriously. However, if you are open to new impulses in love, these days could be promising.

Mars and Chiron

June 14, there is a Full Moon in Sagittarius. It squares Neptune in Pisces, and a day later Mars conjoins Chiron in Aries. In this somewhat ambivalent quality of time, some aspire to accomplish great things. Success and failure are close together, and painful frustration is a distinct possibility. Some may resort to heroic myths to avoid possible feelings of shame, others stick to the motto "Do good and talk about it".

On June 16, the Sun squares Neptune and trines Saturn. Although there is a great deal of activity in many places, actual progress falls short of expectations. It often seems difficult to translate ideas into concrete action. Persistence is the key to success these days. With Venus square Saturn on June 18, some may want to secure success. However, the trine to Pluto on June 21 draws attention to the fact that first old debts must be settled and obligations honored. Only when Venus enters Gemini on June 23 will the quality of time become more lighthearted again.

Cancer

Also on June 21, the Sun enters the realm of emotional Cancer. Family issues, belonging and security are themes that will increasingly occupy us over the next few weeks, especially during the days of the June 29 New Moon. This New Moon is conjunct Lilith and square Jupiter. At the same time, a square of Mars and Pluto is building up, which is exact on July 2. It is therefore a tense time that could be followed by much turmoil. Someone may break unwritten rules of the game, causing great uncertainty. Practice serenity during these days. It is a good time to quietly turn your attention to the marginalized AND those close to you.

Alignment of Jupiter, Neptune in Pisces Hasn’t Occurred in 160 Years

 

Alignment of Jupiter, Neptune in Pisces

Neptune conjunction Jupiter, the activity period is from the beginning of April 2022 until the of beginning of February 2024 according to Astro.com

Jupiter and Neptune will be in conjunction in Pisces, which hasn’t happened in more than 160 years. What does this mean for humanity and the planet? And how should you greet this cosmic phenomenon? 

The following is an article from Gaia

The two planets will soon be in conjunction, where they appear to be close to each other when observed from Earth, and they will be in Pisces, something we have not seen since 1856.

Astrologer Mercedes Arnus Arraut explains what this means to us.

“Jupiter is the planet of news, knowledge, (and) media, and Neptune is the planet of spirituality, higher reals, higher dimensions, the ethereal — things that you cannot explain, the mystical,” Arraut said. “Something very interesting is that Pisces, the constellation where both Jupiter and Neptune unite, is the realm of both Jupiter and Neptune because before Neptune was discovered the Pisces constellation was ruled by Jupiter. So the fact that both these celestial bodies unite in both of their realms in Pisces, it’s very redundant energy where this mystical Pisces energy is going to be blooming all of our lives.”

This conjunction is in April, but we may be feeling the effects now.

“So the time this conjunction peaks is in the middle of April. This doesn’t mean we’re only going to feel it in April, because starting the Piscean month, which starts the 18th of February, we’re going to be having a boom of Pisces energy because the Sun is going to be walking towards this constellation — throughout this constellation — and both highlighting the energy of both Jupiter and Neptune in Pisces,” Arraut said.

“So starting the 18th of February, closer to this date, we’re going to be experiencing a big peak. And it’s not going to be until the end of April when we see this energy soothing a little bit more,” Arraut said. “But something very beautiful that the Piscean energy is bringing is healing. It’s understanding your wounds, understanding what hurts, or what has hurt you in the past, and finding a guide, a path toward healing toward understanding and having big compassion for you, for your evolution, for everyone around you, for those who hurt you. It’s feeling your heart with such a high vibration that you can experience love, second chances, second opportunities. It’s sort of like coming back to life, because you have a second chance at love, life, and work because you reach another state of consciousness, and that is the most beautiful way to put this energy. So, try to stay on the positive side of Pisces.” 

How do we stay on the positive side of Pisces and experience this healing power?

“This conjunction wants to make humanity aware that there’s a world under the sea, there’s a world of consciousness under the sea. Under the sea means also our inner waters, our inner emotions, and it’s a way of humanity seeing how waters are so important in our life. It’s going to be a very sensitive few months for sure. So the way to handle this is expressing, chanting, singing, connecting with the Pisces energy in a much more conscious, a lot more beautiful way, its higher state, because Pisces is the energy of the highest form of creativity, the highest and most beautiful state of love. So, there’s going to be a lot of love in the atmosphere if you vibe with that aspect or higher state of the Piscean energy,” Arraut said.    

As the planets move into conjunction Mercedes also recommends journaling your dreams every morning, getting out into nature, and tapping into your Piscean creative energy. 

THE CURRENT QUALITY OF TIME for April 2022

THE CURRENT QUALITY OF TIME for April 2022

Saturn, Pluto, Jupiter

The war in Ukraine leaves no doubt: We are in a phase of profound social transformation. The Saturn-Pluto conjunction in January 2020 and the Saturn-Jupiter conjunction in December of the same year can be understood as the starting point. Both constellations point to fundamental shifts in power structures. While it was to be expected that this would not happen without major upheavals, the shock of a war in Europe with many civilian casualties is nevertheless great. We have to find our way in a new chapter of a story in which we are all entangled.

Aries, Chiron, Mercury

The Aries New Moon on April 1 is conjunct Mercury and Chiron. The deep wound that may now become visible also has to do with experiences far in the past. It is important to allow the grief and pain to be expressed, for acceptance of the hurt is a prerequisite for true healing. Many voices are now calling for peace to be made. However, Mars conjoins Saturn in Aquarius on April 5. Much ideological harshness, ignorance and delusion could become apparent. Where this tough facade of supposed superiority becomes brittle, powerlessness is revealed. Venus enters Pisces on the same day. She points to the path of uncompromising compassion.

Jupiter and Neptune 

Compassion is also indicated by the conjunction of Jupiter and Neptune, which becomes exact on April 12. This encounter is the conclusion and new beginning of a roughly 12-year cycle whose themes include hope, longing and faith, as well as illusions, delusions and listlessness. People with a spiritual practice could have extraordinary experiences during these days and experience a deep reconnection to divine presence. Beware, however, of projecting your personal spiritual experiences into the world. Indeed, as Mars also enters Pisces on April 15, a depressing experience of powerlessness and disillusionment could follow. Especially during the Libra Full Moon on April 16, as well as the following days, it will again be about asserting worldly power. Both the Full Moon and the Sun's entry into Taurus occur in square to Pluto in Capricorn. It is likely that during these days personal interests will be enforced firmly and without consideration.

Taurus

On April 30, a second New Moon takes place - this time in Taurus. It is in wide conjunction with Uranus and is joined by a solar eclipse (visible only in southern South America and Antarctica). Mercury enters Gemini, Venus is exactly conjunct Jupiter and close to Neptune. Pluto turns retrograde on the same day (until October 9). A conjunction of Jupiter and Venus - the major and minor fortunes - is considered one of the best astrological aspects ever for lovers. Eclipses are powerful energetic events that can openly reveal for a moment what lies in the dark. The simultaneity of an eclipse with a conjunction of Venus, Neptune and Jupiter is very rare. Therefore, it is difficult to say anything more precise about this quality of time. Surrender to life with confidence during these days, but observe what is happening with open eyes and don't forget to use your common sense. The only miracle to be taken seriously at this time could take place in the depths of your soul.

THE CURRENT QUALITY OF TIME for February 2022

THE CURRENT QUALITY OF TIME for February 2022

Capricorn and Aquarius

The quality of time in February brings up a long-known topic again. Once more the conflicting poles of belonging and individuality must be sounded out anew. The impetus for this is the currently strong emphasis on the two zodiac signs Capricorn and Aquarius. The Aquarius New Moon on February 1st is conjunct Saturn and square Uranus in Taurus. We already know the dynamics of this aspect pattern well enough: One side would like to sweep away the existing order, the other would like everything to remain as it has always been. The quality of time is still quite unstable and could bring surprising developments. In this unsettled field of oscillating poles, however, a new keynote becomes audible, because now it becomes possible again to focus the chaotic energy and thus create a stable basis for future developments. The ordering, saturnine forces, seem to be stronger now than the forces of disintegration.

Sun and Saturn

On February 4, Mercury turns direct. At the same time, the Moon and Neptune are conjunct in Pisces, and just a few hours later, the conjunction of the Sun and Saturn becomes exact. This quality of time enables and encourages meditation and contemplation. Allow yourself a moment on this day to listen to the inner silence and realign yourself. For soon there will be new impulses calling for activity. Capricorn Mars squares Chiron in Aries on February 6 and trines Uranus in Taurus on the 8th. Authentic action could now bring surprising results. Overcome inner resistance and go into action, it will be worth it.

Before Mercury leaves Capricorn, it connects with Pluto on February 11. Beware of doom and gloom at this time and remember that thinking is a tool for insight into reality, not reality itself. Contractual agreements are not recommended until Mercury enters Aquarius on February 14.

Mars and Venus

With the Leo Full Moon on February 16, the quality of time changes significantly. Mars and Venus are in exact conjunction in Capricorn. They will remain close together for an extended period of time, promising a slow awakening from slumber. The zest for life now gradually returns, many things come easier to us. Love relationships can now experience more profoundness. The entry of the Sun into Pisces on February 18 supports this positive attitude. It will remain with us for the time being. With Mercury square Uranus on February 25, the time can be wonderfully used to rethink the future.

THE CURRENT QUALITY OF TIME for January 2022

THE CURRENT QUALITY OF TIME for January 2022

The trine between the Sun in Capricorn and Uranus in Taurus on January 1 lets the year 2022 begin with a quiet promise: Things are starting to move. It would be naïve to assume that all problems will just resolve themselves. But the torpor we've experienced all too often over the past two years will quietly fade over the next few months. The important impulses in January come from the signs of Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. The events thus take place between the poles of state power, personal freedom and collective responsibility. Pluto in Capricorn has an important role to play in this, and we could get to see some distinct power politics over the next few weeks. However, with Jupiter in Pisces (from December 29, 2021), a new and probably welcome undertone will be heard. In the coming months, we will be reminded more often than not that we are one humanity. The ideologically colored disputes of the last months lose some intensity and also allow more differentiated views again.

The first New Moon of the year on January 2 also speaks a clear language. The Capricorn New Moon trines Uranus in Taurus, and Mercury moves into Aquarius on the same day. Don't wait for better times but pragmatically try to improve your personal situation now. Your personal stability is the basis that enables you to work for others.

Capricorn. On January 9, the Sun is in conjunction with retrograde Venus in Capricorn, the Moon in Aries is conjunct Chiron (on the 8th/9th), and Mars is about to exactly square Neptune (on the 11th). Furthermore, stationary retrograde Mercury squares Uranus on the 14th. Now relationships and agreements increasingly need to be clarified. Some tacit agreements can no longer be upheld, and unpleasant dead wood and omissions may come to light. It would be very unwise to ignore or even deny any problems that may arise. Instead, decisive action should be taken in such a case. Unpaid debts could become a big problem later.

On January 16, the Sun is conjunct Pluto, and the Cancer Full Moon opposes Pluto on January 18. Uranus ends its retrograde phase at the same time. Power-conscious and decisive action is now being taken, and many things that have been thought of as planning games in recent months could now enter a phase of concrete implementation. The cards are now stacked against those who hesitate for too long.

Aquarius.The last third of the month brings restless and unpredictable days, which have potential, however. On the 20th, the Sun enters Aquarius. On the 23rd, it makes a conjunction with retrograde Mercury. Mars enters Capricorn on the 24th and Mercury on the 26th. Mercury reaches a conjunction with Pluto on the 29th, and Venus turns direct during an exact trine with Uranus. The Sun forms a square to Uranus on the 30th, and the Moon is conjunct Pluto and Mercury in Capricorn a day later. Desire and reality must now be brought into balance, and this will hardly be possible without loss. The cuts that have to be made now seem unavoidable, and some of what is cherished may well have to be sacrificed.

THE CURRENT QUALITY OF TIME December 2021

THE CURRENT QUALITY OF TIME for December 2021

The year is drawing to a close, and we would probably all appreciate some respite during the holidays after a challenging year. However, the quality of time in December speaks a different language. In the first half of the month, Neptune's influence, turning direct on December 1, is clearly noticeable. Its more exalted side is associated with themes of mysticism and transcendence, while its shadow side is associated with illusion and deception. During these days, it will sometimes be difficult to see your way through. Don't just rely on your gut feeling.

Sagittarius. December 4 features a New Moon with a solar eclipse in Sagittarius. Eclipses can be powerful triggers of events. The Sagittarius emphasis of this eclipse brings a spirit of optimism. This optimistic mood is reinforced by the square of Scorpio Mars with Jupiter in Aquarius on December 8, which signals great determination. Mercury square Neptune, however, indicates that the factual situation is unclear. Three days later, on December 11, Venus is in conjunction with Pluto. Desire is strong now, but so is the risk of great disappointment. Big gains are just as possible as big losses. The square of the Sun and Neptune on December 12 indicates events that are not so easily controlled.

Saturn and Uranus. Then, from the middle of the month, the Saturn-Uranus square is increasingly noticeable. The conflicts between freedom and security can hardly be ignored anymore and call for a fundamental change of attitude.

On the day of the Gemini Full Moon on December 19, Mercury is square Chiron, which turns direct at this time. Venus, on the other hand, turns retrograde on the same day and moves back toward Pluto, with which she again forms a conjunction on December 25. The Sun enters Capricorn on December 21. In addition, on December 24 the square of Saturn in Aquarius and Uranus in Taurus becomes exact again. Tense Christmas days await us, which can confront us with unfulfilled expectations, fears for the future and constraints. During these days, try to consciously take some distance from your feelings and give yourself enough space to find inner clarity. The profound collective changes in which we all participate can hardly be judged conclusively yet.

Jupiter in Pisces. Then, at the end of the month, Jupiter enters Pisces on December 29. In the following months, this will give the things that unite people a bit more weight than the things that separate them. The Sun is square Chiron on the 30th, and Mercury conjunct Pluto. On New Year's Eve, Mars will reach the position of the solar eclipse at the beginning of the month and will activate its themes again. By the end of the year, the realization may prevail that it is simply no longer possible to remain inactive and hope for better times.

THE CURRENT QUALITY OF TIME

 THE CURRENT QUALITY OF TIME FEB 2021

Aquarius

With Saturn and Jupiter in Aquarius, a few landmarks have already been set in recent weeks that foreshadow where the collective journey is headed. In the first three weeks of February, not only these two social planets are characterized by the freedom-loving and free-thinking Aquarian energy, but also the Sun, Mercury and Venus. Surprising and unorthodox developments in social, political and technological areas can be expected during this time. As the last air sign in the zodiac, Aquarius is considered the archetype of the humanitarian, unconventional and sometimes rebellious person. It is a good time to try new things.

Taurus

The antithesis to this experimental mood in February is mainly Mars and Uranus in Taurus. Mars shows little willingness to make quick changes and ensures that good ideas must be implemented in agreement with reality. Beware of reckless assertion of your wishes and claims, the reactions of those affected could be unusually violent.

The days around the Aquarius New Moon of February 11 are promising. Venus and Jupiter - the small and the great fortune - are in exact conjunction at 12° Aquarius. In the following two days, Mercury, still retrograde, joins them. It is a "make a wish" constellation that can actually bring serendipity, breakthroughs and deep insights here and there. Love relationships can experience an intensification during this time.

The integration of these manifold and enriching experiences is supported by the quality of time of the following days, even if here and there the difference between wish and reality might become overly obvious. On February 17, Saturn squares Uranus in Taurus, the first of three squares this year. Many of the original and creative ideas of the past few weeks are now undergoing their first reality check.

Pisces

The Sun enters the sensitive sign of Pisces on February 18, Venus squares Mars on the 20th, and Mercury ends its retrograde phase on the 21st. Venus also enters Pisces on the 25th, and Mars makes a trine to Pluto at the same time. The lofty and sometimes unrealistic plans of the previous weeks must now be brought into harmony with your own spiritual and emotional experience. Don't be discouraged if you didn't get quite as far as you had hoped. Sometimes a step back is useful to get a more comprehensive view.

THE CURRENT QUALITY OF TIME

 THE CURRENT QUALITY OF TIME for Dec 2020 and into 2021

After a difficult year, the longing for better times is probably greater than ever. We find ourselves in a phase of great social change. There will hardly be a way back to an "old" normality. But the year 2021 will offer us many opportunities to make visions concrete and lay the foundations for a new beginning. It will be under the influence of Saturn and Jupiter in Aquarius and the aspects that the two social planets form in the course of the year to the revolutionary Uranus in Taurus. It is a time of renewal, in which some things could develop quite differently than expected. We are all called upon to courageously face the demands of the time and to shape the new actively and with common sense.

Jupiter, Uranus, Aquarius already in January, there are astrological aspects that will set the tone for the whole year. At the beginning of the month, it is Mercury who lives up to his function as messenger of the gods. On January 5, he is in conjunction with Pluto, on January 8, he enters Aquarius and then between January 9 and 13, he forms a square to Mars, a conjunction with Saturn and Jupiter, and a square to Uranus. In these days, repressed or secret stories could come into focus. Some of them may be sufficiently explosive to have a significant impact on the events of the following weeks and months.

In the days around the Capricorn New Moon on January 13, the quality of time becomes increasingly intense. The Sun and Moon are in conjunction with Pluto, Mars in Taurus forms a square to Saturn. On the 14th, Uranus in Taurus ends its long period of retrograde motion (since August 2020). Like a stone that has started rolling down a mountain slope, certain events can no longer be stopped. It is a confrontational time, in which true strength can show itself, but also many things could become difficult.

Jupiter, Uranus, Aquarius In the second half of the month, events accelerate under the influence of Uranus aspects. The first and most important of these is the square with Jupiter on January 17. It is the beginning of a phase of sudden and unexpected events and a development with an uncertain outcome, but which usually brings a turn for the better. Mars is in conjunction with Uranus from January 18 to 22, together with the Moon (on January 21) and Lilith, and then forms a square with Jupiter on January 23. The Sun, which is in conjunction with Saturn in Aquarius on the 24th, then forms a square with Uranus on the 26th. It is a time with revolutionary potential and surprising events. It could be the beginning of a phase of fundamental and lasting shifts in power that will decisively shape the further development of the year. There could also be breakthroughs in the technological field, but also possible malfunctions with consequences. The World Wide Web is particularly exposed in this respect, as its birth horoscope (https://www.astro.com/astro-databank/World_Wide_Web) is experiencing its first Saturn return during this period and is now being tested for its inner stability.

At the end of the month, perhaps a first conclusion can be drawn, which gives us a glimpse of where the further development could lead. On January 28, there is a Full Moon in Leo. The Sun will join with Jupiter (on the 29th), Mars will be in conjunction with Lilith and Uranus and in square with the Full Moon axis, and Venus in conjunction with Pluto. Those who had the will and power to create precedents can now stand in the light for a moment. But the voices of those who feel they have lost should be heard, for further schisms could lead to serious problems later in the year. Moreover, on January 30, Mercury begins his retrograde phase, which lasts until February 21. During this period, the events of January must be consolidated and reviewed.

October to December 2020

 Introduction

This traditional Twelve House Spread includes astrological keywords (in parenthesis) for the houses, signs, planets, elements and qualities. Also included is the sun timing for entry into each house. I am focusing on the last 3 months of 2020 and have also produced a full 12 month reading which includes the first 9 months of 2021, starting in January. Because of the timing overlaps of the houses I have to show 4 houses, 7 to 10 inclusive which covers the last 3 months of 2020.

The Upright and Reversed Associations are based on whether the card is placed upright or reversed when dealing. All cards were dealt upright but both meanings are relevant to the house that it has been placed in and based on the Yin Yang principles of good/bad, black/white, right/wrong etc. When confronted with a dilemma such as Covid-19 you must take all aspects of the situations to determine some kind of assemblance out of the chaos which has been unleashed on the world. Once you introduce all the human aspects to these types of situations there is no guaranteed positive or negative outcomes, only more chaos.

SEVENTH HOUSE – Marriage and Partnership “I BALANCE”: The Seventh House (partnerships, marriage, conflicts, identification within a group), is an Angular House (action, motivation). It is ruled by Libra the Scales (balance, order, justice, sometimes unemotional), with the element of Air (communication, intellectualism) and is a Cardinal sign (outgoing, social, lack follow-through on projects). Libra is ruled by the planet Venus (romance, beauty, artistry, sociability). Timing: about September 23 - October 22.

Knight of Coins

Keywords: future projects and ventures, offers of some kind.

Description: The Knight or Prince of Coins has two meanings. The first indicates a young man who is very practical. The second indicates further development of a material venture which, if handled correctly, could bring about future projects.

Upright Associations: Practical, sensuous, patient, methodical, progress. Sensible course, dependability, industriousness, hard work, conviction. Beneficial science, finding meaning, nature.

Reversed Associations: Confusion, missing vision, instability, greed, indolence. Apathy, material preoccupation, inactivity, tiredness, necessary inner turning.

The timing is one of the main points of interest, in that it focuses not only on the 7th house but also the later part of September and most of October and so enters an entirely new era for each and everyone of us. The 7th has indicated "balance" which has not been around since lockdown was ended. If we don't heed the rules then the (RA words) above must surely come into play and if they manifest into reality then hope may be lost in our fight against this deadly virus. The (UA words) above are the positive outcome and are telling us what has to be achieved in the coming months. If we disregard this offer that the card offers then we only have ourselves to blame.

EIGHTH HOUSE – Death and Regeneration “I DESIRE”: The Eighth House (transformation, regeneration, sexuality, death and taxes, psychic ability), is a Succedent House (resources, stability). It is ruled by Scorpio the Scorpion (passionate, emotional, persistent, intense, obstinate, unyielding), with the element of Water (emotion, intuition) and is a Fixed sign (persistence, predictable, inflexible, stubborn). Scorpio is ruled by the planet Pluto (destiny, redemption, power, afterlife, good and evil). Timing: about October 23 - November 21.

Ace of Wands

Keywords: new beginnings, job possibilities, optimism, life start, promotion and new ventures.

Description: The Ace of Wands is the beginning of any creative venture or business pursuit. It indicates optimism and invention, as well as new opportunities and directions.

Upright Associations: A new venture, the initiation of prosperity, happiness, pleasure. Optimism, creative energy, potency, adventure.

Reversed Associations: A bad beginning, missing opportunities, need to wait, frustration. Creatively blocked, lacking energy, need to re-motivate.

Astrological Correspondence: None. 

Keywords: new beginnings, job possibilities, optimism, life start, promotion and new ventures. Description: The Ace of Wands is the beginning of any creative venture or business pursuit. It indicates optimism and invention, as well as new opportunities and directions.

By the time we reach the 8th house and nothing has changed for the better, if our situations are becoming worse, this card is giving us the chance to turn things around, it's not too late. Take a long look at the (Keywords) and (Description), we can reverse the negativity caused by this virus.

NINTH HOUSE – Mental Exploration “I SEE”: The Ninth House (philosophy, religion, law, long journeys, higher education, publishing, in-laws), is a Cadent House (diversification). It is ruled by Sagittarius the Archer (energetic, ambitious, generous, freedom-loving, an explorer), with the element of Fire (aggression, leadership) and is a Mutable sign (adaptable, too changeable). Sagittarius is ruled by the planet Jupiter (philosophy, religion, higher education, expansion). Timing: about November 22 - December 21.

Judgement

Keywords: judgement, resurrection, healing, music, good news, revelation.

Description: The Judgement card represents the judgement day or awakening call heralding a rite of passage. As one cycle comes to an end we need to prepare for a new stage in our development, the future is waiting. Now is the time when past efforts yield positive results, when we can reap the rewards, when we realise that we are drawn in a new direction and recognise our true calling. In it's positive meaning the Judgement card reminds us that through honesty and true reflection we can realise where we have erred on our path and that we need to forgive ourselves to regain a feeling of self-worth and accomplishment.

Upright Associations: Awakening, revival, the good life, health, mental agility, accomplishment, perfection. Summing up, spiritual calling, transformation.

Placed in a negative situation Judgement symbolises indecision, a fear of letting go, remorse, and regret, and imbalance, imprisonment.

Reversed Associations: Hesitation, denying change, poor judgement. indecision. Stagnation, closing off spiritually, needs to evaluate your direction.

This is our judgement for the past year on how we have reacted not only to this terrible virus but to one another. Disrespect, self-appointed righteousness and absolute disregard for others, this is our legacy to our future generations. If we don't change our attitudes then we have failed the children of tomorrow. You only have to read about what this card means to understand what is to become to humanities future.

Finally the planet Saturn, our teacher, appears to warn of what could be, if all the right and positive changes are made. On a personal note, I don't think we have learned anything and the new year will be the same as the last and maybe even worse.

This is not a prediction it is just a warning for the whole of humanity.
