Solunars by Aldebaran Sidereal Academy

Building patterns climax in the last two weeks of the Caplunar month. Events may thematically tie into the third and (for now) final Pluto return in the U.S. chart, especially because - as the mundoscope above shows - Pluto is within 1° of Canlunar Ascendant.

Take a few moments to glance at the chart. Its overall feel expresses itself easily. Pluto is most angular, but Moon and Uranus nearly tie it. Moon, Uranus, and Pluto are form close aspects, with Moon square Uranus 0°07'. The Moon/Pluto midpoint is 0°06' from the horizon, much closer than the orb of Moon opposite Pluto itself.

This reiterates (with much greater force) the essential message of last week's ingress: It is too mild to say there is disruption and that circumstances are rapidly shifting. Although there are many kinds of specific events that could upset existing conditions, the Moon-Uranus-Pluto trio is especially known for uprisings and revolts, civil instability, and populist challenges to prevailing authority. The events grip our attention, stunning our senses.

Add to this another Venus-Mars opposition. Events are filled with roused passions and excited emotion, not with reason. Restlessness, short tempers, and selfish desires win out. the pressured sense of urgency pushes people hard. Though there is a sense of calm in the U.S. in the few days immediately around Christmas (as transiting Mars pulls away from Capsolar IC), peace on Earth is at risk, both domestically and internationally, through this whole time.

Areas around Portland, Oregon feel this week's Jupiter-Saturn square more strongly than other parts of the country. The push-pull seesaw of Jupiter-Saturn tends to focus especially on political and financial matters and traditional institutions, asking questions like, “What will it cost me to win?” or “What do I gain if I lose?”
