Aries Ingress and Renewal

Overview

The planets in the firmament are clustered into half of the sky dome. The Moon in Scorpio and transiting to Sagittarius represents the handle of the bucket chart shape, making opposition aspects to the planets in Aries and Uranus in Taurus. At the Aries point of ingress on Thursday, initiating a new annual cycle, the Moon in Sagittarius and trine aspect to the midpoint of Venus retro and Mercury retro in Aries. Uranus conjunction to Israel national chart natal Sun in Taurus, could indicate renewed conflict. As the Israel-Hamas conflict resumed even as I write, it is already a foregone conclusion.

Looking ahead
