Overview

As the Sun pulls ahead of Mars in Libra, and the Moon confronts Pluto in Capricorn, the battle lines are drawn. The universe is the defender of the oppressed, even encourages us to work for the benefit of humanity.  The role of journalism in exposing the tyranny of nations got a boost from the Oslo Nobel committee, recognizing the role of journalists in the process of allowing for democratic reforms, a signature of Mercury retro in Libra, seeking to balance and quincunx to Uranus in Taurus, as the rewards were unexpected.  Pluto, as the old guard of status quo in Capricorn is shaken. The Libra stellium of the New Moon equinox shook the pillars of power. After confronting Pluto, the Moon boldly moves to a conjunction with Saturn and then Jupiter in Aquarius, tending to inflate the role of progress, only to become oppressed again when meeting Neptune in Pisces, and hope is dissolved in powerlessness. Some balance is achieved as the Moon ingress Aries conjunction with Chiron and opposition to Mercury as Mercury and Saturn turn direct.
