MEDIUM-TERM (The Bridge)

All month, (1) transiting Pluto squares Capsolar Moon and (2) CanQ Moon squares ingress Venus. Venus-Pluto periods primarily show major changes in foreign relations, whether in forging alliances or feeding antipathies. For most days of the month, Jupiter opposes Capsolar or CapQ Moon, giving a rare, positive chance for May 11-17 in particular. However, Mars crosses angle and aspects Moons even more days than Jupiter, making this an especially volatile time - especially on those days when all four planets are simultaneously active. Venus, Mars, and Pluto are the "warrior trio" known for pulse-quickening volatile foreign relations.

Recent interest in New Moon and Full Moon charts (as a comparison to the ingresses) prompts me to begin including them (for Washington, DC) on a trial basis. Based on how these have historically behaved, I will treat them a little differently than the ingresses, including hard aspects beyond outside the foreground as well.

Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse (May 5, 2023)
Uranus on MC 3°31'
Moon, Sun, & Saturn widely foreground
-- Full Moon co/op Uranus 3°44' [Obviously, Uranus is the main message!]

-- Jupiter-Pluto sq 0°24' M
-- Mars-Saturn oc 0°53'
-- Venus-Neptune sq 1°04'

New Moon (May 19, 2023)
Uranus on Z 0°56'
Mercury on MC 3°14'
-- New Moon co Venus 0°26'
-- Sun sq Saturn 0°20' M [plus New Moon to Mars, Neptune, Pluto]
-- Moon sq Saturn 1°16' M

-- Mars-Pluto op 0°19' M
-- Jupiter-Pluto sq 0°23'
-- Mars-Jupiter 1°14'

Full Moon (June 3, 2023)
Venus on Dsc 0°29'
Pluto on Asc 1°28'
Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Uranus more widely foreground
-- Mercury-Uranus co 0°11' M
-- Venus-Pluto op 0°59' M [plus tr/sx Neptune]
-- Jupiter-Pluto sq 3°57'
-- Mars-Pluto op 4°01'

Steve, note that this is the month we've been talking about. That Cansolar scares the bejeezus out of me. I've also experimentally added breakdowns of the New Moon and Full Moon charts, per your expressed interest. Let me know your assessment as the next month goes on.

Indeed, it’s a very worrisome month for me with DC’s SMA malefic charts.

That Canlunar scares the bejeezus out of me.

Me as well Jim.

Thanks Jim, may help us in the future with other malefic looking SMA charts. If this malefic month of SMA charts causes a major break—up with a foreign player, I would expect it to manifest full bloom with DC’s June 3 Full Moon chart-- with the major theme Venus-Pluto across the Full Moon’s chart Horizon where you have stated:

Venus-Pluto periods primarily show major changes in foreign relations, whether in forging alliances and feeding antipathies.

Let me know your assessment as the next month goes on.

Will do Jim, thanks.

The new month has begun. This could be a really rough one as discussed elsewhere. See the lunar ingresses and narrow it down from there!

Based on the two quotes below, it looks like everything turns to Jupiter for the U.S. and Biden May 31 (and an expensive Mars-Jupiter form of Jupiter at that).

So... shall we start the pool on how many minutes before midnight June 1 the debt ceiling issue is resolved?
