Tribal Thought Control

Overview

Sun ingress Scorpio on Thursday forming a stellium with the Moon, Mars, and Mercury in Scorpio. Jupiter square aspect to Chiron represents a conflict, while a double Grand-trine configuration in water signs represents emotional isolation.  A Yod formation is maintained for 3-4 days this week. Five retrograde outer planets from Saturn in Pisces to Jupiter in Gemini, as pulling back, seeking a review, should grace the week for deep change. There is a clear necessity to make significant adjustments before moving forward.

Wednesday, October 22^nd

The Sun at the final degree of Libra, the anaretic degree as it merges into Scorpio, is the focal point of the Yod formation with Uranus in Gemini and Neptune as Neptune merges into Pisces. The power of the luminary to balance the regressive trends at a crucial moment in history. Neptune sextile aspect to Uranus coordinating actions, in out-of-sign aspect until Nov 8^th, when Uranus returns to Taurus. Uranus, a significator of the US administration (inaugurated in the sign of Aquarius), already in transition to Taurus, begins to dig deeper into practical solutions. The Moon in Scorpio, semi-sextile aspect to Venus in Libra spurs a resolution. Then, the Moon will transit the Mars/Mercury conjunction aspect in Scorpio overnight (US time zones). Mercury, trine aspect to Jupiter in Cancer, indicates a successful negotiation. Jupiter doubly approaching square aspect to Chiron in Aries strengthens, meaning that a forceful hand is negotiating. Sun ingress Scorpio 23:53 EST; 20:53 PDT.

Thursday, October 23^rd

The Sun ingress Scorpio 03:53 UTC; 06:53 EEDT as part of a Yod configuration, quincunx aspects to Uranus in Gemini and Neptune in Pisces. Neptune is in an out-of-sign sextile aspect to Uranus forming the base of the Yod configuration. A Yod may bring talent to bear on a situation to help reach an acceptable solution. The Sun is now disposed of by Pluto in Aquarius. Pluto is doubly approaching square aspect to the Sun and trine aspect to Uranus in Gemini. The Moon in Scorpio makes conjunction aspects to Mars and Mercury in Scorpio. The two planets with the luminary are approaching trine aspect to Jupiter in Cancer, the Moon and Mercury are doubly approaching trine aspect to Saturn in Pisces, and Saturn doubly approaching trine aspect to Jupiter. Doubly approaching aspects are stronger, indicating that emotions are isolated within a tribal groupthink with the Grand-trine configuration in water signs. Venus, ruler of Libra, is unaspected in Libra, hidden in the overall scheme, while many are now ignoring her graciousness. Vibrant social gatherings gain followers in an emotional appeal.

Then a trine aspect to Ceres in Aries, just hours later. Mercury in Scorpio is trine aspect to Jupiter in Cancer and doubly approaching trine aspect to Saturn in Pisces, as the Grand-trine configuration in water signs continues to flow, conversations force reversals, and new directions are formed. Mercury partile quincunx aspect to Chiron in Aries, Mars doubly approaching the quincunx aspect to Chiron. Discussions could lead to a change in policy, a breakthrough in the stalled US government shutdown. Mars in Scorpio approaching quincunx aspect to Chiron, provides the necessary push needed to jumpstart the programs, as Mars undercuts the structural deficiencies.

Saturday, October 25^th

The Moon in Sagittarius, semi-square aspects to the Sun in Scorpio and to Pluto in Aquarius, easing the effect of the square aspect between the Sun and Pluto, the conscious direction against the universal power, as the Sun supersedes the square aspect.

Mars transits to the trine aspect with Jupiter in Cancer, also trine aspect to Saturn in Pisces, making a double Grand-trine configuration. The Moon in Sagittarius makes a sextile aspect to Venus in Libra, as the Venus influence is integrated.  Venus the peacemaker is sesquiquadrate aspect to Uranus in Gemini, and Uranus is sextile aspect to Neptune in Pisces, as aggressive speech is muted.  Chiron in Aries is quincunx aspect to the midpoint of Mars and Mercury in Scorpio, delaying forceful actions. Jupiter partile square aspect to Chiron serves to enhance efforts to maintain peace agreement.

Sunday, October 26^th

The Moon in Sagittarius square aspect to Saturn in Pisces and quincunx aspect to Jupiter in Cancer early today, makes a square aspect to Neptune in Pisces, prior to her ingress to Capricorn 12:54 EDT; 16:54 UTC; 19:54 EEDT. Government policies are challenged by court of appeals, as efforts to preserve democratic principles gain emotional support with the double Grand-trine configurations in water signs, Jupiter trine aspect to Mercury/Mars in Scorpio and trine aspect to Saturn. The emotional insulation in group representations is represented by the double Grand-trine configuration indicates conformity within ideological camps.  The Moon is sextile aspect to the Sun in Scorpio and square aspect to Ceres in Aries, the Sun in a quincunx aspect to Ceres. Discontent concerning violations of agreements while demands are not met.

Monday, October 27^th

Mercury in Scorpio trine aspect to the midpoint of Neptune and Saturn in Pisces combines the dissolution with conformity, as a double Grand-trine configuration persists. Jupiter in Cancer disposed of by the Moon in Capricorn and trine aspect to Mars in Scorpio enhances security measures and issuing threats to opponents.  The Moon is disposed of by Saturn, maintaining the emotional appeal within a tribal community. Mars partile quincunx aspect to Chiron in Aries is a sign that inhibits direct offences. Past experiences dictate restraint.

Tuesday, October 28^th

Mercury in Scorpio forms a precise trine aspect to Neptune in Pisces, suggesting a period of heightened intuition and imaginative thinking. Mercury ingress to Sagittarius overnight implements distortions into a philosophical blend. Simultaneously, Mars in Scorpio establishes a partile trine aspect to Saturn in Pisces, which may encourage focus, discipline, and strategic action, as new policies are formed.

Mercury and Mars in Scorpio are separating conjunction aspect by more than 4 degrees, indicating that the intense and direct blending of thought and action has begun to wane. Likewise, Saturn and Neptune are separating conjunction aspect , with a notably wide orb; this suggests that the creative synergy between structure and dispersion that these planets represent has formed into a working vision, with the Grand-trine configuration implementing policy through an emotionally charged tribal paradigm. Jupiter in Cancer is partile trine aspect to Mars and partile trine aspect to Saturn for a Grand-trine configuration, representing an easy-flow of energy with the water signs for emotional contiguity. Jupiter in Cancer is disposed of by the Moon, so intuition prevails. This configuration offers ability to moderate or resolve conflicts. Leadership figures—who grasp the underlying dynamics—hold the authority to effectively manage disputes and tensions. There is also potential for growth and advancement within the tribal structure.

The Moon in Capricorn transits to an opposition aspect with Jupiter and a square aspect with Chiron in Aries, forming in a T-square configuration. Although retrograde, Chiron works from past wounds, we may seek to focus on the emotional challenges or provoke significant tension. Chiron, making a quincunx aspect to Mars, may further exacerbate these stressors and could act as a catalyst for open conflict or confrontation.
