Celebrations and Reformations

 

Overview

Neptune retro in Pisces is sextile aspect to both Pluto retro in Capricorn and Uranus retro in Taurus. Although the trine aspect of Uranus retro to Pluto retro is separating and at the outer limits for an aspect between transits, this configuration persists over several weeks, between the outer trans-Saturn planets that relate to events beyond personal control. The reflect more on collective relationship to powers, and in a democracy, the collective influences the power structure of the nation. With Neptune at a focal point, religious oppression is a probable outcome in non-democratic nations. Thus, the oppression of women in public in religious autocracies.  Some elements of religious oppression also exist in a democracy, although there is opposition with a more evolved population. Uranus in a state of enlightenment counter-acts the oppression of the collective consciousness represented by Pluto and implemented through Neptune as a religious edict. In the US, issues concerning women’s health in pregnancy (Pluto) as a religious issue, the economy as a moral issue (Uranus), and religious freedom (Neptune) are part of the discussions leading up to a major national election.

Summary of major and minor aspects of the week

Wednesday September 11^th — Because of the complex nature of today’s transits and aspects, I have made bullet points to separate the items.

• The Moon in Sagittarius is square aspect to the Sun in Virgo early today, giving an opportunity to adjust or correct a situation that is developing. Stating your philosophical position clearly is required under the analysis. The Moon’s opposition aspect to Jupiter in Gemini follows closely, as elaboration on critical issues is on-going.

(1) This is DJT’s natal position of lunar nodes and Full Moon, so he may have an advantage of exposure following the debate of yesterday as Jupiter approaches the conjunction aspect with natal Sun in Gemini.

(2) For Kamala Harris the opportunity to express her ideas of policy with the Moon conjunction aspect to natal Ketu in Sagittarius, and an opportunity to expel negative issues. Jupiter transits in her 12^th natal House, will retrograde on the 9^th of October 3 deg from her natal Ascendant. This could propel her to victory, if other indications are favorable.

• The Moon, early today, makes a trine aspect to Chiron in Aries, indicating an emotional response to critical analysis.
• Neptune retro in Pisces is sextile aspect to both Pluto retro in Capricorn and Uranus retro in Taurus. This configuration is constant over several weeks. Illusions and disillusionment are central to the issues that circulate. Have they been dealt with by the candidates or are the issues too sensitive?
• The trine aspect of Uranus retro to Pluto retro is separating, and at the outer limits for an aspect between transits, Neptune sextile aspect to both Uranus and Pluto hold the structure of the configuration together.

More discussions are generated as the personalities represented are contrasted. Issues that were left alone during the debate now are more obvious, as the Moon square aspect to Jupiter reaches partile in the morning hours today (US time zones).
• Venus in Libra partile quincunx aspect to Saturn retro in Pisces is an aspect that denotes teasing and/or ridicule, with a lack of concentration on essential issues. The contrast between the two candidates debate styles could not be greater. Who do we, the observers, laugh off? The joker or the object of his/her derision?
