2020 Cansolar

[Jim Eshelman]

The 2020 Cansolar occurs July 16, 2020, 11:29:45 PM EDT. For Washington, DC it is dormant.

Worldwide, it has a Moon-Venus conjunction that is 1°35'. Moon will progress to exact aspect to this Venus September 1 (and progressed Venus a couple of days later). We should expect to have the world as a whole experiencing Moon-Venus events climax near there.

Other aspects that exist worldwide (but are only of importance where they are on angles) are:

Sun-Pluto op. 1°19'
Jupiter-Pluto conj. 1°44'
Sun-Jupiter op. 3°03'
Sun-Saturn op. 3°54'

I should mention that there is one condition on which this might not be a dormant ingress for the U.S. It isn't dormant if there is some other legitimate planet that is closely angular. Checking, we find that Chiron is 1°17' below Ascendant. If Chiron is a factor that should be included in these charts, then it will be a Chiron-driven quarter.

Some effects of this:

-- The Arisolar (driven by a passionate Venus-Mars square that Steve correctly called as marking social unrest) will stop operating. With a dormant Cansolar, the Arisolar operates through the next quarter (until mid-October), but if the Cansolar is not dormant then it would not.

-- If the Cansolar isn't dormant, then Mars (7°36' below Asc) and Neptune (3°58' above Asc) also draw attention. Fortunately, they aren't placed so that their midpoint is in partile contact with the angle.

Probably the worst place in the world for this Cansolar is western Bulgaria near Greece, where Mars on MC intersects Saturn setting. Sofia gets hit particularly hard.

In the U.S., Saturn rising starts at the California coast halfway between LA and SF and slices northeast across part of Nevada, Idaho, and western Montana. Neptune rises from the Florida west coast through Georgia etc., including some areas where I've already forecast heavy hurricane damage for this year.

Hong Kong doesn't get a reprieve with Mars square MC through the city. Saturn through Japan suggests earthquake (though other death causes aren't hard to imagine). Brazil has malefics through it.


Among the better parts are the Philippines (that's unusual!) - unless Jupiter means hurricane, Turkey and Egypt (Ankara and Cairo get Jupiter), Scotland and Spain (Edinburgh and Madrid get Venus), New Zealand (Venus again). Jupiter sets through much of central Europe - will they bring the pandemic under control more quickly? - on a curve from about Amsterdam past the eastern edge of Switzerland, and then down the entire length of Italy. (Kenya might even get a break!)

In the U.S., Venus squares Asc from New Orleans to Chicago and is on IC from about Houston straight north. Washington and Oregon have Jupiter rising.



The most radically shifting area is in eastern Ukraine where Uranus and Pluto lines cross. Pluto is on IC through the Korean peninsula.

I think it safe to say that Chiron was not strong enough to break dormancy. (This is an important thing to know.)

This is consistent with where my opinion of Chiron has settled: I have a distinct flavor of its meaning, but it's strength resembles that of an asteroid, not a planet. It's a distinctive influence when it shows, but weak enough to continue ignoring most of the time. - Maybe it's a little stronger than the "belt" asteroids because it has an outer planet's length of orbit.
