Searching for the Denouement

Overview

The Sun ingress to Scorpio on October 22^nd, following the partile square aspect to Pluto in the final degree of Capricorn and an approaching square aspect to Mars in Cancer, forms a developing T-square with the Sun at the apex, thus, square aspects to the traditional and modern rulers of Scorpio — Mars and Pluto. Mars approaches the opposition aspect to Pluto, partile on November 3^rd, transcending the aspect of conflict on November 4^th, as Mars ingress to Leo. The opposition aspect remains in effect as Pluto ingress Aquarius on November 20^th and beyond. Aggressive Mars battles for superiority, while stately Pluto maintains a position of power, from administrative Capricorn to one of universal acceptance of humanitarian ideals. Another feature that proves significant, is that Saturn in Pisces returns to direct motion on November 16^th. Saturn is the dispositor of Pluto in Capricorn, completes the backsliding to regain authority. Jupiter retrograde in Gemini regresses from its station at 21 degrees (coinciding with DJT’s natal Sun) to continue a decline in influence.  Venus will ingress Capricorn on November 12^th, as a contested election winds up with a recount, that will ultimately bring a feminine touch to a position of authority.

Looking ahead

Summary of major and minor aspects of the week

Wednesday October 23^rd — The Moon in Cancer transits to the conjunction aspect with Mars, [see chart image] then reaches the partile opposition aspect to Pluto in Capricorn, and a square aspect with the Sun in Scorpio, activating a T-square configuration involving the Sun with its two dispositors, as both Mars and Pluto are considered the ruler of Scorpio. Mars in Cancer does not act according to its most aggressive nature, as it is modified by the cardinal water sign it is currently inhabiting, and by the Moon. The Moon, as the ruler of Cancer, could open the benign side of Mars in this sign, operating in self-interest in a mildly aggressive manner. Challenged by the collective planet Pluto, in the anaretic degree of Capricorn, the outcome for the individual faced with a choice, could transform mountains into valleys. Mercury in Scorpio makes a partile sextile aspect to Ceres in Capricorn, as intensive work is done to release hostages. Unraveling mysteries is indicated. Mercury, in a separating trine aspect to Saturn retro in Pisces, uncovers persistent patterns of abuse.

Thursday October 24^th — The Moon ingress Leo 05:25 UTC; 01:25 EDT; 08:25 EEDT with the opposition aspect to Pluto and square aspect to the Sun at 08:04 UTC; 04:04 EDT; 11:04 EEDT for the 3^rd quarter Moon phase, indicating a crisis point in leadership, as the conflicting aspects deepen the demand for active participation. The Sun and Mercury in Scorpio respond from a depth of emotional power. Mercury sextile aspect to Ceres could indicate a transformation in the plight of imprisoned people, especially children and women. All excuses for failing to rescue wrongly held citizens are past the expiry date.  Mars in Cancer doubly approaching trine aspect to Neptune retro in Pisces, the lynch pin of the Uranus-Pluto trine aspect, holding together a reign of terror. Mars also doubly approaching sextile aspect to Uranus retro and opposition aspect to Pluto in Capricorn, as a more aggressive approach is taken to implement goals. The Moon trine aspect to Venus in Sagittarius represents an enhancement for observing participation in religious or political groups, perhaps blending the two into one cause. The Moon makes a quincunx aspect to Saturn retro in Pisces late in the day (US time zones) while the time in UK, EU, and ME would be morning hours on Friday.

Friday October 25^th  — The Moon in Leo is quincunx aspect to Saturn retro in Pisces, highlighting a disparity in narratives of purpose.  The Moon quincunx aspect to Ceres in Capricorn is also an aspect of incompatibility, so negotiations are difficult. Mars in Cancer partile sextile aspect to Uranus retro in Taurus, as violence on the battlegrounds increases. The Moon makes a square aspect to Mercury in Scorpio, as Mercury is approaching quincunx aspect to Jupiter in Gemini. Disagreements are difficult to resolve.

Saturday October 26^th — The Moon in Leo makes an aggressive square aspect to Uranus retro in Taurus, and then quincunx aspects to Neptune retro in Pisces and Pluto in Capricorn for a Yod formation as a temporary truce is likely. Venus in Sagittarius doubly approaching square aspect to Saturn retro in Pisces. Venus and Saturn retro form sesquiquadrate aspects to Mars, in Cancer, with Mars trine aspect to Neptune retro in Pisces. Tensions difficult to resolve, with the goal is for the release of remaining hostages.

Sunday October 27^th — With Venus in Sagittarius doubly approaching square aspect to Saturn retro in Pisces, the Moon in Virgo makes a square aspect to Venus and opposition aspect to Saturn retro, activating a T-square formation, as Mars in Cancer reaches the partile trine aspect to Neptune retro in Pisces, facilitating the goal to release the hostages. Others may receive benefits under this configuration, as Venus maintains a position of power. Mars supersedes the sextile aspect to Uranus retro and approaching opposition aspect to Pluto in Capricorn. One achievement may lead to greater leverage for subsequent goals. A trine aspect to Ceres indicates more details about missing captives. The Moon is in a square aspect to Jupiter retro in Gemini, as details of procedures tend to deflate some claims.

Monday October 28^th — The Moon in Virgo transits to the trine aspect with Uranus retro in Taurus as calming measures are taken to reduce conflicts, and an opposition aspect to Neptune retro in Pisces might challenge the agreements with delays, as Mars in Cancer reaches partile trine aspect to Neptune, raising more objections, possibly dissolving the planned projects. The Moon makes a trine aspect to Pluto in Capricorn facilitating removal. The way to a transforming event is now a possibility to achieve.

Tuesday October 29^th — The Moon ingress Libra 04:31 UTC; 00:31 EDT; 06:31 EET.
