Astrology: Fall Equinox September 23, 2023 Part 2: Chart

March 7 Saturn enters Pisces brought a lessening of restrictions and more discipline in holistic views

March 24 Pluto enters Aquarius brought a foretaste of more socially-conscious power structures

May 16 Jupiter enters Taurus

Brought a slower, more practical outlook 

May 17 Jupiter square Pluto

Increased ambitious tendencies, with problems of dogmatism and fanaticism

June 11 Pluto Retrograde re-enters Capricorn

Favours more conservative, strict, rigid tendencies

June 19 Jupiter in Taurus sextiles Saturn in Pisces

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.

2-Moon Mercury Jupiter trine

This brings a friendly, helpful, idealistic feeling. 

3-Moon aspects

These can bring dreamy distractions, but it can be balanced with a sense of responsibility.

4- Venus aspects

These can bring some eccentric enthusiasms, but can be balanced with discipline.

5- Jupiter square Midheaven

A tendency to take things for granted.

 

Fall Prognostic

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.
