Forging a Comprehensive Solution — November 29 – December 6 2023

Overview

The zodiacal arrangement of the planets of our solar system continues to form a one-sided pattern, with the Moon transiting over the empty space this week. In Cancer, the Moon is at home, its sign of rulership. As such, confronting the oppressing powers directly is daunting. The quincunx aspects allow for interventions through a 3rd party indicates that barriers are reduced. The 3rd Quarter Moon phase on December 5th opens the way for a comprehensive agreement. The release of hostages in exchange for peace remains conflicted as a bribery. A comprehensive settlement indicated by the planetary interactions early next week, shows that a transition can be achieved. 

Looking ahead

December 7th   — Neptune returns to direct transit
December 12th — New Moon in Sagittarius
December 13th — Mercury goes retrograde
December 22nd — Sun ingress to Capricorn
December 23rd  — Mercury retro ingress Sagittarius
December 27th  — Full Moon in Cancer
December 29th  — Venus ingress Sagittarius.

Summary of major aspects of the week

Wednesday November 29th — Today, the Moon in Cancer traverses the signs that are now void of planets — Cancer, Leo, and Virgo. Sun, Mars, Mercury, and Ceres in Sagittarius and Chiron in Aries are in fire signs. Venus in Libra is the singleton in air signs. Venus has a pivotal role, being in its sign of rulership, and quincunx aspect to both Neptune retro in Pisces and Uranus retro in Taurus. A Yod is formed, although the sextile aspect between Uranus and Neptune is a wide orb of aspect. The Moon trine aspect to Saturn in Pisces early morning and then quincunx aspect to Mars, while the Sun is quincunx aspect to Jupiter retro in Taurus. The many quincunx aspects indicate a break with traditional approaches, especially on the universal level. New approaches to international relations, perhaps a thawing of animosities is underway. Mercury in Sadge makes a semi-sextile aspect to Pluto, as controlling forces modify their demands. 

Thursday November 30th —The Moon in Cancer makes a square aspect to Chiron in Aries early today, then a trine aspect to Neptune retro in Pisces, and a square aspect to Venus in Libra several hours later, as personal truth conflicts with a partner’s need to balance the relationship. This may come at the expense of a more humanistic approach. It is wise to avoid extremism in conversations now. The Moon transits to the opposition aspect with Pluto in Capricorn. There’s still a lot to learn in life to overcome oppressive feelings. Everyone creates his or her own truth regarding his or her own personal life experience.

Friday December 1st — The Moon in Cancer is in an opposition aspect to Pluto in Capricorn. Pluto is disposed of by Saturn in Pisces, and Saturn is disposed of by Neptune in Pisces, a final dispositor. Mercury ingress to Capricorn, makes a sextile aspect to Saturn, and is also disposed of by Saturn, and ultimately by Neptune. Venus, the second final dispositor, in its home sign of Libra, is the dispositor of Jupiter and Uranus retro in Taurus. The Sun, Mars, and Ceres in Sadge are disposed of by Jupiter and ultimately by the final dispositor Venus. Chiron in Aries is disposed of by Mars, in turn disposed of by Jupiter and the final dispositor Venus. Venus in Libra could represent the negotiator, while Neptune in Pisces the captors and the captives. As the negotiations are through a 3rd party, the quincunx aspects represent an indirect pattern of communication. Venus supersedes the quincunx aspect now doubly separating from Neptune retro and in an approaching square aspect to Pluto. The Moon ingress to Leo (16:02 UTC; 11:02 EST; 18:02 EET) and makes a trine aspect to Ceres in Sadge and to Mars later in the day and a square aspect to Jupiter retro. Mercury now in the Saturn ruledsign of Capricorn, indicates a more professional approach, a change in the pace of the negotiations. Moon trine aspect to Ceres allows for requests to speed the process (Moon trine aspect to Mars). The continuation of a process could be delayed or denied with the Moon square aspect to Jupiter.

Saturday December 2nd — The Moon in Leo in a trine aspect to the Sun in Sagittarius early today facilitates a successful outcome. The Moon in a trine aspect to Chiron retro in Aries follows, indicating developing confidence in relationships. The Moon square aspect to Uranus retro (morning hours EET on Sunday) indicates a reversal, traumatic or explosive. Mercury sextile aspect to Saturn indicates attempts to reset agreements.

December 3rd 2023
Jupiter Quincunx aspect to Mars

Sunday December 3rd — The square aspect of the Moon to Uranus retro early in the day (before noon EET, predawn in the US) puts agreements in doubt. The Moon quincunx aspect to Neptune retro in Pisces (a final dispositor) highlights the plight of those still held captive. A quincunx aspect to Pluto a few hours later could renegotiate issues through 3rd party arbitrators. The international focus on a conflict that is seen as a tinderbox with the possibility to ignite a greater war in the region, indicates that Pluto is the overarching energy dealing with the negotiations. Pluto, disposited by Saturn, must relate to the limitations of the conflict and the demands of the parties involved. Saturn in Neptune is a symbol of the limitless nature of the demands, and Neptune as a final dispositor and symbol of a vast community of oppressed individuals. The very nature of the oppressed as individuals is obscured in the oppression. Venus in Libra, also the dispositor of Jupiter retro and Uranus retro in Taurus, square aspect to Pluto, represents a possible liberator. The contradictory forces of Uranus and Jupiter works to force peace through revolution. The Jupiter/Uranus conjunction aspect is achieved in April 2024.

Monday December 4th — The Moon ingress to Virgo [03:51 UTC; (10:51 EST on Sunday); 05:51 EET] as focus turns to a practical solution to resolve all issues even as the Moon is in opposition aspect to Saturn in Pisces. The Moon in a trine aspect to Mercury in Capricorn and then trine aspect to Jupiter retro in Taurus, a potential grand-trine configuration in earth signs. Mars in Sadge is in a separating quincunx aspect to Jupiter retro in Taurus, and the Moon makes a square aspect to Mars. Mars is disposed of by Jupiter, indicating that the aggressive motivation is eliminated or reduced. Venus makes her ingress to Scorpio late in the day, as the negotiation is transformed to a more global approach, Venus now disposed of by Pluto.

Tuesday December 5thVenus in Scorpio makes a flowing trine aspect to Saturn in Pisces, modifying a harsh stance taken in conflicts. The 3rd Quarter Moon, Moon square aspect to the Sun, is at 05:50 UTC; 00:50 EST; 7:50 EET. The Sun in Sagittarius indicates a philosophical stance, while the Moon in Virgo relates to possible practical solutions. A conflict of purpose is not easily reduced. The Moon makes a trine aspect to Uranus retro in Taurus, as the specter of destruction is raised. The path forward is viewed as Mercury in Capricorn makes an approaching trine aspect to Jupiter retro. The Sun doubly approaches a trine aspect to Chiron retro in Aries as possibilities are reviewed, and are on the verge of a breakthrough in negotiations, the Moon trine aspect to Uranus retro in Taurus overnight US time zones, early on Wednesday in Israel and the Middle East.

Death by Ideals — November 15-22 2023  

Overview

Controversy over what constitutes a just war and responsibility for deaths focus on ideals and philosophical realities as crucial moments approach. A Yod formation over a four-day span indicates a priority for the securing of hostage release and a humanitarian pause in the war, as well as other agreements, that may be reached at this crucial time. Rooting out organizations with atavistic goals of domination and power who claim historical or religious justification is opposed by pure idealism (Venus in Libra) this week. A modification with the sextile of Mercury to Venus is amplified by Jupiter. The Sun/Mars conjunction aspect in Scorpio reaches for humanitarian sympathetic gestures with the trine aspect to Neptune in Pisces.
