Favours
more conservative, strict, rigid tendencies
Brings a period of focused, balanced productivity
My full summary for the Summer chart:
The Jupiter-Saturn sextile brings a balanced,
productive, efficiency while Mercury sextile Mars brings clear-minded,
focused, articulate communication. A Moon, Venus, Mars conjunction brings
creative, imaginative, romantic inspirations, but is complicated by an opposition
to Pluto, which is part of a T-square with Jupiter. Hence there
could be confused, deluded, exaggerated postures, with an underlying tendency
for repressed emotional baggage to surface. Moreover, a volatile Mars square
Uranus can bring conflicts based on need for asserting independence.
One interesting example illustrating some aspects of this is a controversial tweet about Judy Garland in blackface on August 16 that went viral, with over 58 million views. There was a strong response in her defence, with underlying racial tensions and some intense debates. Many articles about the incident appeared in various media outlets as well. https://www.dailydot.com/unclick/judy-garland-blackface-discourse-gen-z/
1-Sun, Neptune, Pluto, Uranus Kite
Here the Neptune opposition can be a stimulus for transformation.
Sun in Virgo opposite Neptune in Pisces – 'Your encounter with others today may be
demoralizing or confusing', also a possibility to 'experience a spirituality and depth of feeling that
is quite magnificent.' (Robert Hand, Planets in Transit, p. 83)
Sun Pluto Uranus trine
Sun trine Pluto in Capricorn– Look within yourself to determine what motivates you , what your are
seeking in life and what changes you should make so that your life will rune
smoothly – forceful get things done (85).
Sun trine Uranus in Taurus- engaging in new activities and making new discoveries about yourself
and the world around you. (80)
Uranus trine Pluto- deepen your philosophical concerns , enrich your understanding of
life and give you the chance to make constructive changes that will make your
life more worthwhile later on (415).
Pluto Neptune Uranus minor grand trine
Uranus sextile Neptune-Stimulates interest in spiritual ideas and occult
concerns – sudden insights in your experience of the everyday world (410).
Pluto sextile Neptune – explore the hidden depths of existence and revue
experiences that are profound and revealing. (515).
2-Moon Mercury Jupiter trine
This brings a friendly, helpful, idealistic feeling.
Moon in Capricorn trine Mercury in Virgo- in
touch with your feelings to an unusual extent and are more able to express them
to others – you listen most sympathetically to other people’s problems (107).
Moon trine Jupiter- warm and friendly to the people around you, and your are willing to
offer emotional or physical support to anyone who needs it (114).
Mercury trine Jupiter in Taurus- enlarges your mental scope. You are eager to be
exposed to much more new information than usual. New ideas don,t bother you. In
fact, you are fascinated by them because they broaden your understanding of the
world around you (157).
3-Moon aspects
These can bring dreamy distractions, but it can be balanced with a sense of responsibility.
Moon square Sun-
some sort of challenge to the structure of your daily life, that is, your home
life, intimate relations, routine daily contacts (102).
Moon square Neptune-dreamy state of mind in which
fancies and illusions become more important than reality (121).
Moon sextile Saturn in Pisces- balance your emotional needs with your sense of duty and obligation
(312).
4- Venus aspects
These can bring some eccentric enthusiasms, but can be balanced with discipline.
Venus in Leo square Uranus- seek excitement and stimulation through your love relationships, even
to the point of provoking a fight (204).
Venus square Jupiter- 'good feelings rub off on those around you' with tendencies to 'assume arrogantly that
everything you touch turns to gold' and 'indulge in many ways that are not good for
you' (199).
Venus sextile Mars in Libra- balance in your life between self-assertion and the need to relate to
others (196).
5- Jupiter square AC-(312) 'a desire to grow and advance through contacts
with others' with a tendency for 'a desire for advantages through others without giving anything in
return' (312).
For the Summer chart, I observed that:Ukraine has made progress in pushing back Russian forces, but
the return of Pluto in Capricorn will probably tend to favour the
conservative Russia.
Most of the aspects that signalled the invasion have faded, but I think that
it’s unlikely that peace discussions will progress much until Pluto returns
to Aquarius on January 21, 2024.
This would fit with Russian cancelling the grain agreement with Ukraine at the height of the third consecutive difficult Mars aspect on July 17. The Winter Solstice chart will have some tensions, but overall, it is not as tense as the Summer and Fall charts. Things could improve with Pluto’s upcoming
return to Aquarius in January 20, 2024, through September 1, 2024; and
November 19, 2024 through March 8, 2043. Note that Pluto will once again be in Capricorn for 10 weeks in the fall of 2024, therefore we are not quite done with the lessons of that momentous aspect, which saw the emergence of reform movements such as occupy Wall street, #MeToo,
#BlackLivesMatter, and #FridaysForFuture, and on a more extreme side, an increase in right-wing authoritarian government repression.
Summary
1-Sun, Neptune, Pluto, Uranus Kite Here the Neptune-Sun opposition can be a stimulus for transformation. Good tools for cutting through illusions by using discrimination and investigation provided.

5- Jupiter square Midheaven
A tendency to take things for granted.
There should be less volatile conflict than the Summer, although conflicts of a more deceptive, illusory, fantastical nature could occur. Conversely, there may be a tendency to take people for granted and for failing to give people proper consideration. There is, however, a good opportunity for transformation by learning discrimination and seeing through any illusions, smokescreens, halls of mirrors, moon mist and gaslight in your life. There may also be needs to better balance other people's expectations into your priorities. But for that, it will require patience, investigation, introspection and an open mind to solve the mystery... It could open the doors to distinguishing valid spiritual values from superficial psychic impressions.
PS - Most of the planets in the kite formation are outer planets and usually require tight orbs. In this case, it is the presence of the Sun that makes this reading feasible. It may perhaps however be considered a foretaste of when these planets will be in exact aspect. According to Astrology with Andy: From July of 2025 until February of 2027, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto
will be getting along splendidly. By that I mean that Uranus and Pluto
will be in a trine (120-degree) aspect to each other while
simultaneously sextile (60 degrees away from) Neptune. The three of them
will be speaking the same language and supporting one another.
While they will bring major global shifts, they will do so like a
well-rehearsed orchestra (as opposed to, say, an out-of-tune electric
guitar). In fact, I think that a lot of the ugliness that will emerge as
Pluto wraps up its transit of Capricorn (and especially in the US,
where this also coincides with the United States’ Pluto return) will
begin to be cleaned up during this 2024 – 2026 period.
