What Does 2013 Bring?

I'm not taking the time now to make predictions for the new year; but I'm givng the raw data on which such things might be based, and inviting everyone to join in.

OUTER PLANET CONSTELLATIONS
Throughout the entire year, we continue with
-- Pluto in Sagittarius
-- Neptune in Aquarius
-- Uranus in Pisces
-- Saturn in Libra

Jupiter begins the year in Taurus, and moves into Gemini on June 3.

Mars is not retrograde this year and so doesn't hover in one constellation any prolonged period of time. It moves from Capricorn through Virgo during the year - at a pretty brisk pace.


OUTER PLANET ASPECTS
Uranus exactly squares Pluto May 20 and November 1. The two planets continue to run in close square all year, never being farther apart than the not-quite-5° orb with which they start the year. Most of the year they remain less than 3° apart.

Saturn sextiles Pluto March 8 and September 21
Saturn trines Neptune June 11 and July 19

Jupiter opposes Pluto August 7
Jupiter squares Uranus August 21
Jupiter sesqui-squares Saturn May 20
Jupitter sesqui-squares Neptune September 28 and December 17
Jupiter trines BOTH Saturn and Neptune on July 17 - an exact outer planet Grand Trine
Jupiter again trines Saturn on December 12

"GANG BANGS"
In addition to the the Jupiter-Saturn-Neptune Grand Trine on July 17 (joined by the Moon on the evening of July 16, and then really stirred by Mars on July 21), there are other planetary pile-ups, though few super-tight "knots" in the graphic ephemeris. The most significant one of these is Jupiter's slice through Uranus-Pluto in August.

I'd like to draw particular attention to August 1, when Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, and Pluto are evenly distributed about a common midpoint: the partile Mars-Uranus conjunction is near the almost partile Jupiter-Pluto opposition so that Ur/Pl = Ma/Ju.


MARS HIGH-IMPACT CLUSTERS
Volatile triggering - in wars, market matters, and more - have been linked to Mars making an exact conjunction, opposition, or square to one outer planet while simultaneously being in orb or a similar hard aspect to another. In 2013, here are the occassions of that:

February 10: Mars square Jupiter while 4° from involving Neptune. (Possibly not close enough.)

March 22: Mars conjunct Uranus while both square Pluto about 4°. (Ditto on orb, but Uranus-Pluto is the major outer planet aspect of the year.)

March 26: Mars square Pluto while both aspect Uranus about 3°. This is made even stronger by the Sun-Venus conjunction with Uranus and the Full Moon early on March 27 at 12° Virgo-Pisces.

June 7: Mars square Neptune doesn't quite fit this pattern, but I mention it because Neptune is stationary the same day, 10' from trine Saturn, and in Grand Trine with Saturn and Venus. If the general rule I cited above follows more of the Nelson rules for sunspot prediction aspect series, then this could be the strongest hit orf the year. (There is a simultaneous partile Mercury-Uranus-Pluto T-square.)

July 22: Mars conjunct Jupiter while both oppose Pluto 4°. (Probably too wide; but this is also the point of the exact Mars-Jupiter / Saturn / Neptune Grand Trine. Again, if the Nelson rules prevail, this will be a very high impact time.)

July 27: Mars opposite Pluto. SImulatneously Mars conjoins Jupiter 2°, and all are 3° from square Uranus.

July 31: Mars square Uranus. Both involve Pluto within 3°. (This is close to the August 1 hot-spot I mentioned earlier.)

December 25: Mars opposite Uranus. Both are less than 3° from square to Pluto.

December 30: Mars square Pluto with both less than 3° from Uranus. Simultaneously, Sun and Mercury conjoin Pluto and square the others.


CAPSOLAR
The 2013 Capsolar will be posted at viewforum.php?f=30 (and each of the other solar ingresses for the quarter as they approach).


CAPLUNARS FOR WASHINGTON
Over the course of the year, each planet is foreground in the Washington, DC Caplunar the stated number of times:

Sun - 2
Moon - 5
Mercury - 2
Venus - 2
Mars - 4
Jupiter - 0
Saturn - 0
Uranus - 5
Neptune - 3
Pluto - 2

Parans on the Washington Caplunar angles may draw special attention to these mundane aspects:

March 7 - Moon square Uranus (PV)
April 3 - Moon square Mars (with some Venus offset) (PV)
May 28 - Moon square Uranus (PV) & Uranus square Pluto (RA)
July 22 - Sun-Moon-Uranus T-square (PV) & Mercury square Uranus (RA)
August 18 - Jupiter-Uranus-Pluto T-square (RA) (Jupiter not technically within orb of WP, but the others are angular and the aspects are close)

Amazing Jim, now if you can tell me that social media will be negatively impacted, it will make my new year. "Social Media" has just been so rampant :|

PREDICTION: At least as long as Uranus-Pluto persists - several years more - this particular form of technological collectivism is going to continue growing far past any boundaries we presently can imagine. With the Jupiter-Neptune worldwide emphasis in the 2013 Capricorn, next year will see the entertainment industry finding entirely new ways to embed themselves into it.
