The Jupiter Switch

Overview

Jupiter’s switch to direct transit could reverse issues that are dependent on a sentiment of revenge. Jupiter in Gemini advances the argument and reviewing the past few weeks of favors could change the atmosphere. This week, all the planets are arranged from Pluto in Aquarius to Mars in Cancer, covering just half of the celestial sky, often called a bowl chart.  Venus begins her transit of Aries, turning retro on March 2^nd, so will stay in Aries until March 30^th.  As the dispositor of Uranus, Venus in Aries begins a renewal after the shakeup of the Moon transit of Uranus in Taurus this Wednesday. Awareness dawns for ardent defensive measures to be taken. The Sun in Aquarius makes a sextile aspect to Saturn, a square aspect to Chiron, and a quincunx aspect to Mars retro before the conjunction aspect with Ceres on Monday. The Moon travels  through Taurus, Gemini, and Cancer before the Full Moon on February 12^th, bringing the issues into full view as solutions are offered.

Looking ahead

Summary of major and minor aspects of the week

Wednesday February 5^th — The Sun in Aquarius with the Moon in Taurus, the 1st quarter Moon phase early today (before dawn US time zones), the Moon is sextile aspect to Mars retro in Cancer and then makes a square aspect to Ceres in Aquarius and conjunction aspect with Uranus in Taurus. A crisis and a forceful claim create an upheaval. The Saturn doubly approaching trine aspect to Mars retro, as we know where we must go to repair the fault. Jupiter in Gemini returns to direct transit as the way forward is clarified. Venus in Aries approaching sextile aspect to Pluto in Aquarius, forges ahead with trailblazing certainty. Neptune in the final two degrees of Pisces is conjunction aspect to Rahu, could absorb strength of the dissolution, dissolving the issues. Chiron in Aries is square aspect to Mars retro, challenging the goals presented. The Moon transits to sextile aspects to Neptune, Rahu, and Venus overnight Wednesday, US time zones, Thursday morning in  UK, EU, and ME, thus furthering the process of dissolving current power and coalescing for a renewal. Mercury in Aquarius is semi-square Venus, as the renewal process is urgent.

Thursday February 6^th — The Moon ingress Gemini 01:45 EST; 06:45 GMT; 07:45 ET; and 08:45 EET, trine aspect to Pluto in Aquarius and sextile aspect to Venus in Aries, as the narrative is accelerating, applied processes begin at the approaching conjunction aspect to Jupiter in Gemini morning hours, US time zones, close to mid-day EET. The Sun in Aquarius is sextile aspect to Chiron in Aries and semi-sextile aspect to Saturn in Pisces. Mercury semi-square aspect to Venus in Aries. Saturn structure limits the power of the purse, could indicate the use of power to manipulate others. Chiron as the wounded healer presents the need to understand past trauma and release toxicity. If the trauma is not open for healing, it can lead to sadistic acts of power, seeking revenge projecting blame on others. In Aries, the cardinal-fire sign, Chiron can indicate aggression when activated by forceful aspects. Saturn in trine aspect to Mars in water signs, as the two planets associated with negative force blend into a passionate force, a driven passion for service on the positive side, or for a controlling force on the negative side.

Friday February 7^th — Mercury approaching partile conjunction aspect with the Sun in Aquarius, and quincunx aspect to Mars retro in Cancer. Can we verbalize what is happening, as futures go down the drain? Can it be documented? There is a phrase for what is happening, Stochastic Terrorism. Can we nip it in  the bud? Not likely to happen very quickly. Mars turns direct transit February 25^th. Until then, we are just being played, as America’s wealth is syphoned off for the rich. This cannot be the way of a healing. So Chiron can also show a negative effect outcome when power is misused for personal gain at the expense of others. The actor feels that it is owed him or her.

Saturday February 8^th — The Moon in Gemini square aspect to Neptune in Pisces early today, many discussions seeming to lack focus but share discouragement. Neptune conjunction aspect to Rahu retro in the final degree of Pisces radiates a dystopian future. Saturn in Pisces and trine aspect to Mars retro in Cancer describes the intent to focus on dissolution of former goals. The Moon ingress to Cancer 11:06 UTC; 04:06 EST; 13:06 EET. The Moon makes a square aspect to Venus in Aries four hours later and quincunx aspect to Pluto in Aquarius, possibly triggering a powerful emotional expression, both happiness and grief combined. Ceres in Aquarius and a square aspect to Uranus in Taurus, an indication that there is a reversal of power over lives, a resurrection for many. Mercury in Aquarius is combust in close conjunction aspect to the Sun, as events overwhelm speech.

Sunday February 9^th — The Moon in Cancer makes a conjunction aspect to Mars retro, as Mars is in a critical stage of slowing in apparent motion in preparation for a return to direct transit by February 25^th, a day Mercury will be in conjunction aspect to Saturn. The tides will turn and a moment of truth will arrive. The Moon/Mars conjunction aspect is square aspect to Chiron in Aries, so warnings may not heeded. A day of judgement will arrive. Mercury in Aquarius supersedes the conjunction aspect with the Sun while approaching square aspect to Uranus in Taurus. The stage for a showdown is set.

Monday February 10^th —  The Moon in Cancer is trine aspect to Neptune/Rahu in Pisces early today, as complaints overwhelm the system. Sun/Mercury in Aquarius square aspect to Uranus in Taurus shock the economic value system. The Moon ingress Leo 17:02 UTC; 12:02 EST; 19:02 EET. The Moon in opposition aspect to Pluto in Aquarius follows a short time later, reducing the employee powers to rebel against the imposed regulations. The Moon trine aspect to Venus in Aries is creatively demonstrative. Mars retro in Cancer trine aspect to Saturn in Pisces pares the limitations to more acceptable conditions.

Tuesday February 11^th — The Moon in Leo sextile aspect to Jupiter in Gemini indicates that creativity is rewarded. Overwhelming joy at achieving the results of a successful venture is experienced, at the Full Moon phase. The Sun in Aquarius partile square aspect to Uranus in Taurus, with Mercury separating conjunction aspect supersedes the conjunction aspect to Ceres. The Full Moon Wednesday morning, US time zones, is square aspect to Uranus. The Moon in Leo is disposed by the Sun. Thus, the lunar orb reflects and augments the will of the ruler, seeking to balance of the equation in the configuration. The goal is to gain financially and reverse need to plenty. The Moon conjunction aspect to the natal Mars of the POTUS indicates a change of tone or vitality. Difficulties undermine the process.
