U.S. Ingresses Apr 13 - May 10, 2023

[Jim Eshelman]

Beginning this month, I'm making a change. I will stop (for the present time) full monthly forecasts for the U.S. Other current writing projects need to absorb all my time, so I've been a little later every month this year and finally blew a Caplunar deadline today - so I'm pulling the trigger after most of a decade of doing these.

What I will do instead is post the technical details of the ingresses themselves, probably without any interpretation (though, knowing me, there will be times I won't resist stating something obvious). This will let us continue tracking what's going on (and this space is always open to reinvention).

For the interpretation of Sidereal solar and lunar ingresses, please see my free book Sidereal Mundane Astrology. (A link can be found near the top of the Publications sub-forum.) For standard interpretations, see Ch 8 of the current (17th) Edition.

MEDIUM-TERM (The Bridge)
All month, (1) transiting Pluto squares Capsolar Moon; (2) CanQ Moon squares ingress Venus. Ve nus-Pluto periods primarily show major changes in foreign relations, whether in forging alliances and feeding antipathies. April 25 to May 2, Mars transits Cansolar Descendant, making the "warrior trio" (Venus, Mars, Pluto) the bridging planets: These times are known for pulse-quickening volatile foreign relations.
