LONG-TERM (Solar Ingresses)
Capsolar effective Jan 15, 2022 to Jan 15, 2023. (Summarized from my Jan 15-30 forecast.)

• An accounting cycle for the Biden administration. Republican gains seem certain in the midterm elections.
• Sun conjunct Pluto (1°21'): Unprecedented conditions, irrevocable shifts, rebellion against prevailing conditions, assault on or removal of those in power, and disrespect for law (greater lawlessness). People demand freedom from arbitrary control or leadership they feel is failing them. More people think of themselves as "a law unto oneself" or "exception to the rules." Diverse themes from severe natural disasters to political confrontation.
• Moon-Mars-Neptune: Crime is up. Neighborhoods feel more dangerous. Ferocious civil unrest. What was once called "civilization" rips open with unaddressed grievance while struggling to settle into new patterns in which people feel greater safety and security.
• Sun-Pluto with Moon-Mars-Neptune: Increased physical threat to the president or the Federal government as a whole (perhaps through heightened domestic terrorism).
• Moon opposite Mars (affecting the world as a whole): A state of alarm. Typical expressions: violence, blood, fire, earthquakes, accidents, other destruction; often significant loss of life. Other expressions: war, bombings and explosions, other attacks, deaths of leaders. Moon square Neptune (local to Washington): Waves of emotional reaction, fervor, herd-mind arousal, or panic accompanied by confusion, disorientation, uncertainty, and an undermined sense of security. Mars-Neptune: Panic or feeling the ground fall from under one’s feet - surging adrenaline with heightened aroused emotion - increasing the risk of treachery, sabotage, other betrayal, poisoned relationships, and scandal.
• Sun/Mercury = IC: Broadly intensifies and highlights Mercury themes, including transportation, commerce, and science. Mercury square Uranus: Scientific and technological advances continue (no turning from technology). Freedom and flexibility in communication and travel are big break-out themes, including significant expansion and redesign in social media's impact. Science continues to have direct, relevant influence on people's changing lives.
• Mercury-Uranus impacts social trends: With growing urgency of antisocial independence and autonomous self-sufficiency, with people feeling exempt from precedents and historic social standards, "independent thinking" becomes a rallying cry (though probably more of a fantasy than a reality: herd-mind passions surge the cry for "independent" opinion). Passion-fed rejection of expert opinion, reliance on crowd opinion, other challenges to convention or authority. “Don’t tell me how to think” takes on new, widespread life.

MEDIUM-TERM (The Bridge)
ALL MONTH: Pluto sq. Capsolar Asc, Neptune sq. Capsolar Moon, continuing the NEPTUNE-PLUTO ZONE. Collective (massing) populist voices rise due to a sense of pervasive anxiety, of "never knowing when the other shoe will drop." Waves of heightened emotional reaction, fervor, and herd-mind arousal are accompanied by confusion, uncertainty, and an undermined sense of security. This could be a reflection of the election cycle or the passionate civil unrest forecast from the Capsolar for the year.

Almost the entire month, Mars adds a threatening sense of alarm or emergency with the usual expectations of increased fires, deadly accidents or weather events, human violence - or even war - amidst general increase in volatility and harmfulness. Here are the dates of the specific (almost uninterrupted) transits:

• Jun 19-22: t Mars sq. Cansolar Asc
• Jun 26-29: t Mars op. Cansolar Moon [worldwide]
• Jun 30-Jul 3: t Mars op. Capsolar Asc
• Jul 7-10: t Mars sq. Capsolar MC

Saturn returns to Capricorn (from Aquarius) June 20. Summaries of longer-term trends from outer planet sign transits are here.


SHORT-TERM (Lunar Ingresses)

Caplunar (Jun 16)
Effective June 16 to July 13, especially the first week, June 16-22.

Uranus on Z 1°01'
Saturn widely foreground
-- Saturn-Uranus sq. 1°14' M
-- Saturn sq. non-fore Venus 2°48'
Moon-Mars sq. 0°35' M [like Capsolar]
Moon-Pluto 3°03'

Arilunar (Jun 22)
Effective Jun 22-30.

Pluto on Asc 0°25' [It all changes]
Saturn on EP 1°54' [something has been lost]
Uranus barely foreground
-- Saturn sq non-fore Venus 1°08' M
Moon-Pluto sq. 2°55'
Moon-Mars co. 3°41'

Canlunar (Jun 30)

20220630 CnL.png

Effective Jun 30 to July 13. Venus is the only angular planet, yet Moon squares Mars and Pluto. (Moon-Pluto is closer in Washington than for the world overall.) The keyword of these two weeks, then, is likely passion: Ultimately, Venus suggests good feelings (of the "peace, love, and understanding" sort), but this week's emotions come from underly pain and rage.

I have already predicted a hot summer - hot from exposed tempers and festering grievances - and it seems that this week, with the third Moon-Mars aspect in a row, the passion boils over. The combination of successive Moon-Mars aspects with slightly different Venus combinations is common for war, but this chart with Venus on Zenith feels like domestic rage is afoot and people specifically are raging together for justice.

Nationwide, Boston and Philadelphia have the best charts of the week (Venus on MC and Zenith). Something explosive or divisive may erupt in Kansas. The longitude of Indianapolis has Saturn exactly angular. The Mars-Pluto combination centers in western Utah and Arizona.

Liblunar (Jul 7)
The Liblunar is dormant for Washington. However, several hotspots appear across the nation, including Saturn angular along the entire Atlantic coast, so precisely that it surely suggests violent storm warnings. The fiery (or even explosive) Mars-Pluto combination has moved to western Colorado near Grand Junction and, to a lesser extent, the band of longitude that includes western New Mexico.

Geographic areas centered on map lines have a roughly 150-200 mile leeway (3°) for strong effects. For these mappings of planetary energies, see standard interpretations in Chapter 8 of Sidereal Mundane Astrology. (A link to the free current edition can always be found near the top of the Publications sub-forum.) Readers may wish to consider all planet lines and intersections against the standard interpretations.

Transits to Capsolar planets are important identifiers for locales where the 'natal' planet was angular in the Capsolar, or where it spins to a CapQ angle at the time of the aspect.

(No outer planet transits)

Pluto in Capricorn (2021-2038)
viewtopic.php?f=34&t=2475&p=33906#p33904
Harsher, struggling, dystopian: people doubt they will regain guarantees of safety or security from violence, economic crisis, or cultural breakdown. Autonomous self-sufficiency, struggle for survival. Need to preserve and restore survivability of the planet. Shortages of land, secure living space, and privacy (territorial conflicts). Hunger and dwelling insecurity. People determining anew how they want to be governed. Control vs. being controlled. Increased social isolation and focus on survival (anticipating breakdown of society or survivability of the world with depleting stability and resources). Intensified tensions between individual survival vs. connected wider community, and between uplifted and controlling classes vs. the debased and controlled classes. Breakdown of old structures and outmoded patterns. Bedrock financial institutions are challenged and reassessed. New economies emerge, including a structural reconceiving of work, jobs, employment, and earnings. Anything father-themed comes under attack (and retaliates). Ancient grievances and resentments are renewed. Society's relationship to aging and the aged will change necessarily. Revolution in pharmacology.

Neptune in Pisces (May 20 - Aug 6, 2022)
(This has not yet been written.)

Uranus in Aries (2017-2025)
viewtopic.php?f=34&t=390&p=2560#p2560
A volatile time politically. Issues of economics, government, and accelerated armament. Great challenges to the stability of existing alliances: Acute polarization splits former allies (individuals, social groups, or nations) along new axes. Widespread dissatisfaction fuels repudiation of historic closely held views and values. Each such era, while people are passing through it, feels like a transitions between a concluding old cycle and an opening new cycle.

An unyielding, unremitting sense of emergency exists, then autocratic governance increases. Extraordinary autocratic power is yielded (voluntarily granted) to national leaders, who acquire increasing dominion of economic and social issues. Armament, safety, going one's way alone without the encumbrances of alliances... these win out over the demand for personal liberty and social equality. The masses seem more comfortable with an authoritarian father figure to "make everything OK." Absent a state of war, there me be a suspension of checks and balances on autocracy normal to martial law.

Increased polarization and struggle between opposing extremes - each historic period has its own example, whether it be arising fascism vs. socialism (or political elements that, if more extreme, would have emerged as overtly fascist or socialist, extremism of right vs. left), opposing views on slavery, Catholic vs. Protestant wars, etc. Economics (especially trade) are unstable, in a precarious balance. Economics policies become more nationalistic and autistic, increasingly protective, to defend against trade inequities and competition imbalances. Extreme unrest in economically hurting populations.

Saturn in Capricorn (Jan 2020 - Jan 2023)
viewtopic.php?f=34&t=3344#p28419
Individual and political struggles for survival, autonomy, and self-sufficiency. Land & space: Shortages of land and secure space, redefining boundaries; territorial acquisitions and annexations, mineral rights, mining conflicts; walls, embargoes, spatial segregation, splitting historically separate countries into autonomous nations. Earth & water crises: Ecological concerns regarding climate change; land- and water-based retaliations by the Earth against destabilizing climate change; volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, no-warning fire outbreaks; water and land rights and conservation. Hunger, food-security, and dwelling issues including crop failures and famine; further crumbling of farming as a viable livelihood; hunger may be weaponized (or may be addressed aggressively). Earth-mindful rebellion religions thrive, including renewal and empowerment of paganism. Major finance developments: Vast financial institutional restructuring and management, especially favoring capitalism. Changes in how we collectively control money and commerce including bedrock foundations, controls, and financial restructuring; institutions aimed at money security are created or strengthened; long-standing economic hardship and social disenfranchisement boil over. Fear: Focus on how we manage and respond to it. Disabilities and misfortune draw focus: "Inferiority" (so-called) more visible; disability and genetic bigotry; widespread civil liberties conflicts and civil rights resistance activism. Relief from the arts and laughter.

Saturn in Aquarius (May 19 -June 20, 2022)
viewtopic.php?f=34&t=4568#p43719
Democratizing power, rebelling against restriction, fighting for freedom. The masses rise against tyranny. A surging anti-imperial, anti-authoritarian wave with new constitutions, pivotal elections, social unrest, marches, riots, civil wars and other wrestling for liberty (with predictable resistance and push-back). Optimistic for voting rights and historic gains in racial equity. Liberal social reforms and economics, likely including universal health care and continued Keynesian policies. Free trade breaks economic bottlenecks. Democratizing commerce as an innovative force, creating new markets. Science, invention, and technology thrive (technology stocks win). Medical science breakthroughs, especially in genetic medicine. Traditional medicine flourishes as brilliant science meets a more enlightened, practical model of delivering health care. Water rights and other pipeline issues are increasingly important. Agnosticism and atheism become stronger social forces. Pragmatic futurism in diverse forms.
