Astrology - US Outlook March - June 2018 Aries Ingress USA Part 1

Well we are now at the end of a challenging ingress and one can see a lot of the issues that Saturn on the Sun has indicated with our nation's chart.. all the indictments and latest subpoena for some of the president's business communications.

The Spring Equinox - A New Chart Begins

But as of, Tuesday, March 20 at 9:16 am PT / 12:16 pm ET, we begin resonating to a new ingress chart. This Aries Ingress immediately signals challenges and opportunity. So let us begin where most mundane astrologer begin - on the angles.

Neptune - A Spiritual Intervention

Immediately we notice that Neptune in Pisces at 14 degree 37 minutes is the most elevated planet deposited in the 10th house at the Midheaven. It rose before the Sun and thus is followed first by Chiron, then the Sun and then Mercury and Venus conjunct in Aries. So immediately we see what will be in the public eye for the next 90 days.

Illusions, gas-lighting, misleading images, false leads or false stories are negative side of Neptune's signature. But this is also a statement for the creative intuitive, spiritually directed individuals to be seen leading the way. I see this as a sign of Spiritual Intervention where by those who will allow Neptune to resonate its highest vibrations during this period, will help move us through the illusion to see or find truth.

So Neptune immediately signals we will be tested to see clearly, to check our sight, and to see the big picture. Where is all of this upheaval taking us and will we ..those who seek truth and justice..take action to help it manifest. Action may be physically being seen and heard, as well as spiritually thought our thoughts and focus on a vision of clarity, integrity and truth.

Neptune is at a midpoint between the South Node in Aquarius in the 8th house and the Venus/Mercury Conjunction in Aries in the 10th house. This indicates that the issues of our karmic history of agreements with international partners, our sharing of resources, legal contracts, import/export and our international community of brotherhood is in the public discussion, as well as the aggressive talk of war and weapons. But the discussion must come through Neptune.. so where is the truth in these matters? How do we find it, Can we learn to listen to the guidance that comes from within instead of rationalizing or ignoring what we see and accepting or believing what we are fed through media. This is a big test and prominently displayed here. This discussion of warfare may certainly include language or social media warfare as we consider Venus and Mercury in their aggressive forms. It appears we will be wrangling with our international partners and ourselves on how to put a legal lock on truth.

Chiron - A Cyber Warfare Wound

Chiron is at 28 degrees in Pisces, the next most elevated being. It is prominently placed exposing where we have been most wounded, the issues of truth, emotions, clarity, integrity, self-sabotage, lack of conviction and strength. It is in a frictional aspect to Uranus in Aries and may activate a discontent in wishing to throw off the past and suddenly attack whatever is in front of us. In this case it would not be internal but international. Those in major organizations which may include immigrants or people of specific religions. It could also accuse the UN or other international organizations like World Trade (WHO) or NAFTA. All possible with these aspects. Unfortunately to do so would simply increase our illusions instead of solving the wound.

President Trump & Scheat

Mars Out of Bounds

The Sun in mundane charts always represents the ruler, president, prime minister or leader of the nation or location within which the chart has been set. In this case it would be the US president. Here the Sun (Aries ingress so it is at 000 Aries) is in direct challenge to Mars which is the actual ruler of Aries and is deposited on the angle - 7th house cusp. Mars is in Capricorn, it is deposited at the end of the 6th house.
This is powerful for so many reasons. First Mars over-rides the Sun since it rules the sign the Sun is in. Mars is deposited in a house with Scorpio, the sign it also rules on the cusp of this house, which we call in rulership by accident. And lastly, but most importantly by declination, Mars is out of bounds. So Mars has all the power, it is threatening the 7th house cusp - the house of enemies, it is late in the house of the military, and it is directly challenging the president who is emotionally drowning (The Sun in the Aries ingress at this time in history is conjunct the fixed star Scheat - the star of drowning)

Possible War on the Horizon

These aspects make for a combination that may likely lead us into a new war before this period ends. When Mars is out of bounds, people do radical, unconscious things. They take actions that they may not think through. They do not consider all the consequences of these actions. Under these conditions, war would be the very worst choice.

Mars only goes out of bounds about three times each year and rarely is active in an ingress chart. It takes a highly grounded leader to remain in control under its influence. Mars was out of bounds in the 2001 Cancer Ingress when the twin towers came down, it was active in the 2001 Libra Ingress when we entered Afghanistan, and it was active in the 2003 Aries Ingress when we entered Iraq.

It was active in one ingress chart during Obama's entire presidency and I did not get a chance to run down if it was the year he escalated the troops in Afghanistan. I will check that in the next day or so and rewrite this section when I get the info down.

At any rate, this is not the best time for us to have an out of bounds Mars in our ingress chart. It bodes to a new war.

But please remember we are raising consciousness on this planet. Neptune offers the possibility of Spiritual Intervention and let us look at the Moon and Saturn.

The People Are Organized To Resist War

The Moon always represents the people of the nation. In this chart it is in Taurus at 8 degrees 35 minutes in the 11th house of organizations. This suggests the people of the nation may be organized into large groups. The Moon make direct positive or soft contact to Saturn in rulership in Capricorn at 8 degrees 29 minutes on the angle inside the 7th house. This is also a powerful combination. It indicates organization and restraint. The people do not want to go to war, they value restraint, organization, the rule of law, their lives and their money. They are organized and open to making laws or using diplomacy instead of war and they are organized and will take action. They do this early on in this ingress, so they should be ready for anything the president does.

With these statements you can see there is a real test of the power of the people versus the power of the president. It is interested that the ingress does not show animosity toward the president but instead opportunity for action by the people to be heard through legal actions.

The Sun (president) and the Moon (the people) are not speaking in this ingress though as it progresses we identify the days when they will speak and when they will agree or disagree, but it is outside the scope of this short piece.

Three Important Fixed Stars
Scheat - Hamal - Facies

Three other notes regarding the fixed stars resonating in this ingress.

The Sun is conjunct Scheat and thus we see the president is under emotional stress, he is drowning emotionally.

The Moon is conjunct Hamal, indicating the people of the nation are determined and will not back down.

Saturn is conjunct Facies, indicating the law (likely the Special Counsel or the Department of Justice) has fixed its target and will not release but will hit the bullseye.

The hour is late so I head to sleep, but I have another ingress I feel is important to review, that Pyongyang, North Korea to see how this configuration will affect that nation. So that will be part two. If you have questions about this ingress..things I have not spoken about.. as there are many.. write to me here or on my facebook page and I will come back and address them for you.

Envision Wisdom For All Our Leaders

Please keep the vision of peace, despite this ingress.. pray that light and wisdom will flow through our land and that all those who lead or govern will be open to receive guidance for the highest good for all the beings on this planet and also for our dear sweet Mother Earth.

2011 Forecast

2011 Astrological Forecast – Michele Avanti CAP

When analyzing the stars for upcoming events, there are a few things, which are important for readers to know. First, I use the same methods that the astrologers of Persia used centuries ago. I look at the ingress charts for each of the cardinal signs. In plain English, that means, I run a chart for each time during the year that the sun enters zero degrees of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn, which is called a Cardinal Ingress Chart. The chart is set for the location that rules the area. In the case of the United States, that would be the White House in Washington, D.C.

Secondly, it is important to note what an astrologer does. Astrologers study the geometric patterns made by planets in constellations and how they relate to events that take place nationally or individually. Astrology is based on thousands of years of research, where records show that similar star patterns result in similar events.

That being said, it is important to note that all life forms have free will and that consciousness does evolve. Thus, as we look at the astrological pictures presented by the stars today, and attempt to understand how life on earth will respond to these influences, we need to remember that the old ways are not necessarily capable of giving us the complete story or the correct pictures.

In the last year, we have moved consciousness forward at an astounding rate. This is due to many factors, the most obvious one being our solar system aligning with the galactic center, the strongest, most powerful energy field in the over 26,000 year cycle of our sun.

This alignment calls for a step up in our creative power, and a greater connection to all life on this planet, this solar system and the galaxies beyond from which many of us have been seeded.

So with this said, I want each reader to open your mind and heart to the answers that come to you as I go through the many pictures that will be activated in 2011. Each reader will know what resonates and will find answers and pictures beyond what I have written here. It is important to remember we are all connected, not just to each other but to the very force of spirit we call ‘Creator.’

The overall view as I look at the four ingress charts for 2011 is that from December 21, 2011 through September 22, 2011, we as a nation are on the ride of destiny. It is a period when what comes together does so because we set the karmic pattern for this time. We will accomplish everything necessary to get us to the next step in our evolvement. To make this as clear as possible, I want each reader to think of times in their lives when they felt no matter how they tried to take control, fate seemed to step in and drive the bus. That is how it will go during this period.

Once we get to September 23, we feel freer to make choices and more balanced as a nation.

The Capricorn Ingress – December 21, 2010 – March 19, 2011

The first quarter is clearly focused on employment, health and military issues. The people are struggling with these issues and feeling imprisoned by them. The president is focused and organized in attempting to transform them, but the international contractual challenges revolving around outsourced jobs, and import, export issues are great and I do not see them breaking at this time. There is discussion, there is posturing, there are headlines but the outcome is they still stand.

Property values and the housing market are still at the bottom. Emotionally this is a downer for the nation though there is some behind the scenes work going on to empower the people through mortgages, banking system, taxes, I do not see that relief happening in this period.

As this period comes to a close, in March, something does open to give the empower the people with money or tax relief, but only after a long battle and when I look at the next chart the battle continues, so I am not sure the late arrival of this relief will do much more than give people hope.

We also begin this period under a Mercury Retrograde, which pulls in memories and past Christmas-times that challenge us to think spiritually of service and charity to the world at large. Though as a nation we are concerned about all the details of work, we have a nostalgic and optimistic holiday season.

But as Mercury moves forward into the second week of January, challenges escalate, the media suddenly reveals information about national employment, health, military, or mortgages, taxes, death toll, international or legal issues, or some secrets may be revealed that challenge the mindset of the nation. These revelations will challenge the people to question what is really happening. It may test their faith in government and, or God.

Around the 10th of January, the challenges should strike clearly in the headlines, and it may come through some attack or military action. During this time, the weather will also be very wet, icy and suddenly frozen. The stock market, or investment markets will have a run it seems. It appears to involve established, old stocks, those involved with underground, or underwater properties and international imports or exports. I expect oil and gas will both be active, as well as, companies internationally selling or producing surgical equipment. Also, entertainment stocks focused on espionage or beyond death experiences should see some action.

On January 19th, the full moon may trigger a massive flood. Hundreds or even thousands may drown since it involves Jupiter exactly conjunct the fixed star of drowning. But there is support from the people and the government, so perhaps we can avert the loss of life in some way. While this may occur in America, especially the Northeast, the midland, and the northwest, it will also be happening in many parts of the world. Additionally the threat of earthquakes in the Pacific my bring danger of tsunamis along the northwest coast. These issues will be in the news.

The Aries Ingress – March 20, 2010 – June 20, 2011

While in the last three months, the president had a clear organized focus and found himself immersed in the karmic struggle of old powerful international contracts, this period shows a drastic, sudden change in him.

It indicates past karma is publicly displayed, and the President is faced with a nation separating, people posturing in aggressive ways. He also appears suddenly brilliant, once more the man who electrified the country with his bid for the White House.

With the strong energies activating the President in this chart, I believe we will see him differently. No more, Mister Nice Guy, he is inventive, aggressive and direct. He will not be the Let’s do this together kind of guy we have seen in the past. Something is challenging him to lose his head, so to speak and be forthright.

Between the 3rd and 10th of April, some explosive event will take place. It may involve a gun or the military, a cabinet member or banking head, a contract or words said, explosive emotions and will take place on home soil. It will challenge the nation emotionally, and may make the rift in the nation even worse.

This event seems to directly affect the President. I took a look at his chart and it is disconcerting to see indications that may involve someone he loves, female, possibly a child. But it may also be something that he loves, so let us hope that it has nothing to do with a child, for this would be too much for any of us to bear.

During this period what may bring some national unity is the struggle with perceived foreign enemies.

There is emphasis on reorganization of government military contracts and international treaties, which causes stress.

People are spending more money and there are more investments in social networking on the web. Technology investments, entertainment and things that create beauty through technology are good during this period.

We have a more creative, inventive and social focus and are seen internationally for our nurturing nature.

The struggle to keep government and corporate control out of the Internet is aggressive during this time and Internet neutrality will not be lost in this quarter.

The early part of June may also bring some earthquake action.

I want to add some information about this chart that is not just for America but for the world.

This Ingress chart indicates something that has not been seen in recorded history.

When we look at an ingress chart, we view the sun as the ruler of a the nation. In this ingress chart the sun is conjunct Scheat, the fixed star of drowning. Fixed stars are said to move at a rate of approximately 1 degree every 72 years. Based on that rate and the fact that there are 360 degrees in the zodiac, the last time this star and the sun of the Aries ingress were conjunct would have been around 26,000 years ago. Does that ring a bell? That is the same approximation of time when last our solar system aligned with the galactic center. We are at a breakthrough in consciousness.

This Aries Ingress Chart indicates it is time for the rulers of nations to make a breakthrough, but some will lose their heads in the process and respond with fire, belligerence, and aggression. While others will respond with unexpected brilliance!

If we take this formula to identify the last time an ingress Sun conjoined Scheat, we would go to a Capricorn contact 90 degrees earlier, which would place it around 6,480 years ago. Still before recorded history, yet according to geological records this is the actual number bandied about as the time when the Mayans predicted the end of time forecast for 2012.

There can be no doubt this is a gateway to the end of time as we know it, and a doorway to a new kind of time.

The Cancer Ingress –June 21, 2011 – September 22, 2011

The President is being seen more now than ever. He is making news here and internationally.

This period looks worse for earthquakes. A cardinal cross consisting of Saturn, Mercury, Uranus and Pluto is on the angles. This is a volatile combination with a variety of outcomes, the most obvious being earthquakes. A very clear picture states: a challenge of connectivity over water due to sudden explosive fire from deep in the earth.

Both San Francisco and Los Angeles have this signature, so I suggest some preparedness and caution if you travel over bridges in these areas during the early part of this ingress.

Another picture that fits this cross is an explosive transformation in the housing market; people are challenged to separate from their homes and mortgages. This is certainly happening throughout California and in many parts of the country even as we speak, but perhaps the final cut off for many will be during this ingress next year.

It looks like there may be employment opportunities through public contracts, which come out of this challenge. People are experiencing stress re-assessing property, and their business and their dreams.

Overall the nation is challenged emotionally, investments are down, and there may be some severe market drops during this period, every bit as explosive as any earthquake.

National income is challenged and people are saving money, not spending. Air travel is also challenged, though there may be some government support to help the airlines.

The Libra Ingress – September 23, 2011 – December 20, 2011

As the year closes, the president is struggling with cabinet members, the tax changes, bankers, estate tax issues, and behind it all are the issues, which began the year, those of employment, military, and health.

But during this time, there are definitely more opportunities for jobs, people are partying more and they are putting their energy into their dreams. They are re-examining the employment and health care issues, and though there is still stress, it appears they realize there has been some healing.

The nation is working, people are saving money and stressing over luxury spending, higher education and travel.

The housing market is at a transformational stress point, and this appears to cause builders to start building smaller, more moderate, less luxury homes.

Airlines are stressed, except for people traveling within the country to visit family.

Investments seem strongest in blue chip stocks or government bonds. The very end of September and the first few days of October could bring some issues with the stock market, so this is a time to be more cautious there.

Though there is still stress in the nation, and the President continues to struggle for change in the military, employment and health care; the year seems to end with more people working and saving, and overall we appear to be in a wiser, more stable state than when 2011 began.

What to expect in 2008 - Astrology Predictions

The Winter Solstice
December 21 – March 19

Focus: War: Housing Market, Mortgage Lenders, Oil, and a Failing Economy

During this first quarter there is talk of action to bomb Tehran. The president is posturing and making contracts or verbal agreements with foreign allies. War talk is pointed at Iran. It seems the president is getting support from his friendly investment groups and his monetarily-controlled foreign nations.

Oil prices continue to challenge the bottom line and there may be additional investment challenges to pharmaceutical companies, mortgage bankers, credit card companies, banks, and health insurance agencies.

The best investments during this period are with American companies building in foreign countries. This includes companies providing housing, supplying food, and medicine to the military in foreign lands.

The media seems to struggle with the war, public/foreign enemies, and the economy.

A judgment from a Superior Court or the Supreme Court, or an action from the Senate may open a way to reinvent or energize the economy.

This may include support for mortgage bankers, a change in the new bankruptcy law, a package to help sinking home owners, a judgment that will reform the way bankers collect interest, or even some health care package that will revolutionize the system. It may also signify some legislation to bring troops home that will actually pass. Additional statements may involve other social reforms. Whatever these statements turn out to be, it will be a doorway for changes that the American people want and need.

The economy is challenged by oil prices, enemy propaganda, water, contracts, lies, employment and health issues. From January 26th to February 11th, lies will likely surface about investments, military situations, monetary situations, oil, health care, and the real employment rate/state of the homeless.

As this particular aspect completes its course, a stress point will be hit between February 16th and 18th. This could cause major challenge and reevaluation of the stock market, the health of the nation, especially the children, the military, small animals, and national employment. This chart indicates that statements made by large organizations may be revealed as lies.

Also as Mercury stations direct around February 18th, California may suffer a major earthquake.

Sudden shifts in the economy may give rise to reform.



The Spring Equinox
March 20 – June 19

Focus: The President, Legal Actions, Military, & Monetary Struggles

This chart shows popularity polls for the president are at an all time low. It is the first chart since the first term of this presidency that focuses on a transformation, resignation or impeachment of the president.

Looking back to the impeachment proceedings and resignation ingress chart of President Nixon (chart June 21st 1974) we see the same signature that appears in this ingress chart. Only the aspects in the 2008 chart are stronger, and more stressful. There are definitely hearings going on during this time in the House. A reexamination of the president's words, the war, the economy, the spending of American resources, and lies are all tied into this legal hearings bundle, which appears to be covered by the press with the opportunity for the people to examine details over the wire or internet.

An interesting note from the fixed stars shows the Moon conjunct Zosma in the ninth house. In plain English this means, the people break the back of the president through the legal process.

Another active fixed star is Regulus. In this chart it indicates there will be a struggle with the details and legality of the president's words, contracts, military decisions, money trails, and public statements. And that if his actions are found to be vengeful, he will come tumbling down and lose whatever success he has gained.

During this period the economy continues to struggle but lending institutions and the public receive monetary help though some legislation or legal action.

This period is filled with struggles and balancing acts.

There is a struggle between nationalism and corporate power, which comes through international organizations, treaties, and old karmic acts.

There may be an explosion or shooting at an international building, prison, hospital or school to rivet our attention to make change. And it is likely that someone will leak the information about who was involved. The question is if that leak will arrive before the bombing takes place. It does not appear it will, but let us hope I am wrong here.

Around May 26th or 27th an important piece of information suddenly surfaces regarding money, international contracts, lies, possibly oil and our economy that creates revolutionary talk.

Around June 19th there will be a sudden event that challenges our children, military and families in foreign lands.



The Summer Solstice
June 20 – September 21

Focus: Transformation, The President, Homelessness, The Economy

Powerful opposition to the President by the people is the first statement in this chart. The reason for this opposition may be due to the fact that the Senate does not end this presidency. This point is not completely clear. It is possible that the Senate may complete the impeachment process in this case and that the new President is opposed by the public but supported by the Senate, corporations and legal process. There is a statement here that says media may be paid to create a better public image. This is one to watch.

Some legal action may quell the rising oil prices in this time period.

The housing market is still struggling in this period and it appears the nation is dissecting the "Truth in lending laws." The media is reevaluating loan contracts and questioning the honesty of credit companies and mortgage bankers.

During this period it seems the past actions and contracts, made by members of the president's cabinet, with foreign organizations will be examined.

Communication from known enemies will be made in an attempt to heal or repair national friendships. I am hopeful that this will involve Iran, as well as other nations, but the charts cannot identify the countries involved.

America's public opposition to the president is being seen with explosive force internationally through the media and the Internet. This may include public marches or riots and even violence.

Late in this period, communications may reveal truths that help heal the national image.

The president seeks to stabilize legal, corporate, monetary issues and some international ones as well.



The Fall Equinox
September 22 – December 20

Focus: Economy, Credit, Lenders, Earthquakes, Flooding

Economic struggle continues in the housing, lending, credit, and insurance markets. Some good fortune may come through legal actions, but there is no complete resolve.

November 1st and 2nd may bring an action due to talk, marching, or international negotiations that lead to some relief in areas of oil, war, fishing, and/or medicine.

Between November 20th and 28th we may experience severe weather, which will include ground shaking, icy winds, sudden flooding.

An international organization, maybe the UN, mediates or creates a treaty to transform American values involving torture and imprisonment of war criminals or terrorists.

As for the election on November 4th, astrology cannot give us an outcome since we have no accurate data to review and there may still be a change of candidates. However in a psychic mode, I do not see a woman president.


Overall View of 2008

2008 will be a year of grounding and reality checks. We will be facing the truth about many of the issues we have been mulling over, talking about, and politically fighting over.

This year we will take the details into account. It will be a year where we are forced to take a hard look at money and how we use it, abuse it, and indulge ourselves with it. The banking, credit, and loan system is on emphasized in every quarter of this year. Deeply embroiled in this issue is oil, war, and medicine. Though there is a still a sense of optimism about the possibilities of change, we will get a good look at details that we have either ignored, or about which we have not been told the truth. These details surface through courtrooms and legislative hearings, and also through the natural and international disasters that will mark 2008.
