Astrology of 2022 Winter Solstice Chart

 December 21^st, 2022, is the Winter Solstice and this chart contains information about the upcoming three months for whatever nation's capital it is drawn on. Below you see it set for the White House in the District of Columbia, the seat of the United States Government.

The good news in this chart is no malefic is on an angle. Rather the Sun is on the Descendant and it is applying a trine to the midheaven. Though it is square Jupiter. This shows the president will be prominently noticed and heard during this period. He will likely be working with those we see as enemies and will be challenged by them, by international treaties, by international travel issues which may relate to imports and exports. Additionally he will be challenged by legislation and the Supreme Court.

The Moon trine Chiron, opposed by Mars, and quincunx the North Node, while sextile the South Node, indicates there is opportunity for healing our workplace, our health issues, our employment issues, while still being stressed over investments, the markets, issues regarding women, and corruption from the past. This includes the women's fight for what they desire, which is an absolute security of their physical bodies. The fight is with male energies, and the rhetoric they espouse, along with their dominance in the workplace, and areas of health in the past. Lots of stress here and a real battle of male and female energies ensue during this period.

Additionally, the Moon in this chart rules the GDP of the nation as well as our values, so this battle between a desire for expansion, integration and education verses lots of words without monetary backing as more corruption is uncovered, engaging a battle of values, that may bring on some kind of boycotts which will affect the GDP.

Saturn, which is the most elevated planet, ruler of the seventh (relationships), eighth (resources,) and ninth (international travel & media) houses, is activating the midpoint between Mercury and Pluto, while making a quincunx to the second (GDP & values) house cusp. This is a very strong statement for numerous reasons, it indicates a strong focus on money, how we share these resources, that is to say banking and mortgages, as well as how we deal with international supply, media, and how we are seen on the world stage. It also speaks to legislation, the cabinet with emphasis on banking, finance and transportation, as well as issues regarding the oceans, travel, and oil. All of these things are being focused on in this period and there is both frustration, stress and a need to master the issues. Because both Saturn and Neptune are in rulership, we can expect the issues they represent to rise to the top. This would be laws, legislation, treaties, and judgments resulting from issues of lies and corruption, that may be through news, or regarding the oceans or oil or some other underground resource. This combination may also indicate a very icy winter.

The markets ruled by Venus in this chart are not stable, but rather changing, and will see a slight bump as Uranus stations direct January 20 – 21^st. While the period between February 12 to February 16^th could cause some major stress in the markets. This period may also produce protests, regarding women, children, education, military, health, and employment.

A last note on the coming year, which actually runs into the next ingress chart in late March, but I wanted to point it out now because it is something to watch for. As we come to the end of March it appears that Vice President Kamala Harris will be playing a much more prominent role. She has been working in the background for the most part since the inauguration, but something is changing as we come into March of 2023, and her role seems to take a much more prominent place.

Of course there are many more issues in this chart and the numerous other charts I have reviewed. There is never enough time to cover the things I see. But hopefully this helps guide you a little as life moves rapidly forward in this new Aquarian Age.

Fall Equinox Astrology Chart, Outlook for Sept 21 - Dec 21, 2021

 Astrology Chart ~ Fall Equinox 2021

I am a little late posting this, now that I am doing a newsletter, I need to remember to post some of that information here. But if you want to receive it on time, do sign up, it is free and will come directly to your email box once each month. 

2021 Autumnal Equinox - The Sun enters the Cardinal Sign of Libra Above you see the chart for the United States for the last quadrant of the first trasformational year in this new Air Cycle.  This chart shows progress with some lovely openings in a grand trine (see the big blue triangle) and a mystic rectangle (see the big blue rectangle.) These are exciting signatures of what we will experience during the next three months until the Winter Solstice on December 21st.  So let's dive in and see what it is all about for the USA.   The first thing we note is Pluto in the first house, ruler of the 10th & 11th houses in a square (not applying by seven minutes) to Mercury in the 9th, ruler of the 6th and 9th. This tells us that we are challenged to transform our health, our employment, our military, the way we serve, as well as the way we import or export goods, the way we handle our legal processes, our public relations, media, social media, marketing and advertising. We are challenged to transform our court systems, judges, corporations and international organizations and companies. Basically we are working to transform the way we are seen in the world and we are loudly speaking about it.  Saturn is also in the 1st house and rules it and the 2nd house in this chart, telling us we will work hard on our national income, our values and the way we are seen in the world. Our hard work will move us forward in our goals to socialize, invest in our children, our marketplace, our crafts and our security. The doorway of opportunity opens with these issues, as the grand trine includes the Sun and Mars in the 9th house rulers of the 8th, the Mc, and the 11th. This indicates we will see more success in higher education which is likely to include international students, and all forms of social media, marketing, advertising and travel. We will have the energy to do these things and the president is actively promoting all of it to the public. This falls clearly into investing in our infrastructure from roads and bridges to wifi and schooling while upping cyber security. All of these issues are key in this three month time frame and all will be noticeable. Additionally it appears that we are finding new stability with our old allies and our place in the world is returning.  Jupiter in the 2nd house ruler of the 3rd and 11th, in trine to Mercury in the 9th ruler of the 6th and 9th, indicates we have the opportunity to expand income, and health. We are freeing more people from confinement, which may be in hospitals as well as home isolation due to health issues. Our views or values are expanding as regards to health and our knowledge is expanding from international sources as well as through all forms of media. There is no shortage of information and it is more honest in this period. . But Neptune, also in this 2nd house hitting a midpoint between the Moon and Jupiter continues to frustrate us with questions about this disease, emotional pain, emotional anger, a desire to move faster, and stress about it that lags on. This position creates confusion and frustration. So if you were hoping the disease is gone, it does not appear to have left in this chart, or at least the questions, lies and concerns, as well as the emotional anger over it, is still part of our world during the next three months.  The Moon in the 3rd house, ruler of the 7th house, opposes Mercury in the 9th and ruler of the 6th and 9th houses. This is a mental, media and communication balancing act between people in our nation and internationally, about the disease, service and military. A lot of hot emotional aggressive talk on these topics creates a struggle with no clear winners. Emotional pain and anger over hospitalizations and possibly prisons, expands and exposes more challenges that have been hidden.  Uranus in the 4th co-ruler of the 2nd opposes Venus in the 10th, ruler of the 4th and 5th; indicates the emotional struggle with homeless people, a lack of housing security, migration and changes in careers due to working from home, and changes in the way we socialize or how we work and also help our children socialize or learn. There is nothing settled with physical property or emotions in this chart. It is a nation at war with the things we love and the judgements that have more control. We are in emotional turmoil and have lost any sense of security. Socializing is a struggle, kids at home are a struggle and things just keep changing with nothing settled. The fact that Uranus is conjunct Menkar in this chart tells us that we are all feeling this sense of uneasiness, for some it will make it hard to sleep on nights when the Moon is between 12 and 14 degrees of Taurus, Scorpio, Aquarius or Leo. We feel a deep sense of humanities needs and the consciousness of the planet seeps into our night dreams.  Lastly, there seems to be a note hidden in this chart based on the day and hour, which is a day of Mercury and the hour is ruled by the Moon. Here the statement reads, the emotions of the nation's people can only be resolved if we talk to each other. Not aggressively but with kindness recognizing we are family.   Michele Avanti CAP, is an ISAR Certified Astrology Professional, with over 30 years working with clients worldwide.

Summer Solstice Astrology Outlook June 20 - Sept 20. 2021

The Summer Solstice signals the ingress of the Sun into the cardinal sign of Cancer. The Cardinal signs are on the axis (Ascendant, Descendant, Midheaven and IC) of the natural chart. This is where power pours into the world, and it identifies upcoming events for a nation, state, town, etc. based on location. Here is the 2021 Summer Solstice chart for the United States. 

This looks like a wonderful breakthrough chart after all we have endured for the last year and a half

At the Ascendant we have Saturn above and Jupiter rising, they are activating the Ascendant which sits at a midpoint between them. Both Saturn in Aquarius and Jupiter in Pisces are in rulership giving each power to activate the people of our nation. Jupiter in Pisces activates ideals, hopes and dreams, and inspires optimism in the people. While Saturn in Aquarius creates structured conversations, brings back old ways of cooperating, a healing of structures and a cooperating attitude between government agencies, judges and the justice department. These two planets working together with the American people are activating the original revolutionary ideas,

Jupiter is Stationing Direct on this day and is Trine the Sun. A very powerful statement, showing the American people are optimistic about the president, that he is publicly teaching the people and those we call enemies, as well as promoting American ideals internationally. Americans are traveling and international doors are opening for us.

Groups are traveling internationally, foreign students are back in school and American students are also studying abroad.

Mars in Leo in the 6th house, trines the 2nd house cusp, which it rules and makes a grand trine to the Midheaven and South Node indicating opportunity for employment for military or service people, that employment overall will increase, that health overall will increase, that there may jobs internationally for people who have been in the military especially those with medical backgrounds, that we may be sending people and supplies abroad to help heal the virus with a focus on teaching and healing.

Mars, ruler of the house of income and what we value, is deposited in the 6^th house of the military, service, health and employment, and it is squared by the Moon which is the ruler of the 6^th house while being deposited in the 8^th house of shared resources, bankers, mortgages, credit and taxes. Thus this square indicates we may be challenged by the money aspect, where will the money come from to employ these people who will serve to help others. The Moon also speaks to housing and medical supplies and the money necessary for these things.

Then we must note Venus in Cancer deposited in the 6^th house, ruler of the 3^rd house of communication, and neighbors, as well as ruler of the 8^th house of loans, taxes, mortgages, etc, in trine to Neptune in Pisces in the first. This indicates a love of illusion continues, ideals, creativity in monetary resources, creativity in ways to heal others or serve. New ways to share resources may be developed during this three month period. Some new creative mortgage, lending system, may take sweat labor in exchange for housing down a new road.

Saturn in the 12^th ruling the 12^th and the Ascendant is in a Grand Trine with Mercury ruler of the 4^th house of our physical property - our homes, and the ruler of the 5^th house, our children, our investments, our social environment, and the part of fortune in the 8^th house. This indicates there will money from the government for housing through special programs for women with children as well as for other special investments in areas where people connect or socialize; these may be community centers or after school programs or perhaps day care centers for children. It appears to say this money had already been set aside for this purpose.

The fact that there are still seven planets below the horizon and only three above it, indicates we are still focused on our own country. .

Overall I believe this is an improvement over the last six ingress charts. We are moving to right the wrongs of the past, to heal, to employ and activate a strong income for the country.
