The Libra solar ingress 2024

On the 22^nd of September this year we have the Libra equinox. This particular equinox is always about the balancing of forces and the choices we make regarding our lives going forward. As always the events of the preceding quarter set the tone for events to take place in the quarter before us. On the surface the astrology for this Libra quarter appear to be easier and indicative of greater grace in world matter. But looks can be deceiving, as we know. For more, read on…

From the last quarter we had the release of Julian Assange after a plea deal with the US, the Hajj disaster (1300 people died of heat stroke), the 2024 Dagestan terrorist attacks in Russia, two attempts of Trump’s life, Starmer was ‘elected’ in the UK general election, there was a global IT outage, the summer Olympics happened in France (amid much mockery and controversy), the French ‘elections’ were held (which were basically annulled by Macron), Haniyeh was assassinated in Tehran, the Kursk invasion by the Ukrainians took place (which turned into disaster for them), we saw the worst flooding in Europe since 2010, and the pager explosions in Lebanon took everyone by surprise. There was much more, of course, but these were the main well-known events. What was forecast for that quarter, then?

The main forecast for the Cancerian quarter was for “a testing and trying time for the masses.” Events in West Asia weighed foremost on the hearts and minds of the world public. In addition, outlined in more detail below, we had:

• a real crossroads moment wherein there will be no turning back for any person or group (Kursk offensive was a prime example, as well as Biden ending his run for the White House)
• more censorship in our Western media (the efforts to ban TikTok, the new UK Online Safety Act, strong-arming Telegram, etc. See here)
• probably will not see an end to the genocide this quarter (still ongoing)
• facts coming to light, as well as attempts to obscure the same (unreported facts from the wars in West Asia and Ukraine by independent sources and the role in legacy media of suppressing the same, for instance)
• stock markets to hit record highs (they did)
• innovation, revolutionary ideas, creative people coming to fore (Advances in AI are exploding. See here.)

With these points in mind we go to the chart for the quarter. The chart for the Libra ingress of the Sun into Libra is below (bigger):

On the surface this chart looks to be far more favourable than recent ingress charts. But looks can be deceiving, starting with the Sun opposite Neptune, speaking of deceiving. The Sun is the focal point of a 3^rd harmonic kite, part of a Grand Trine with Pluto at one point and a Moon/Uranus conjunction at the other point of the Grand Trine. The ‘dish’ of the kite has Neptune sextile to the other two points, projecting and/or receiving the energies of the Sun, reminiscent of a satellite dish. From here the chart and what it portends starts to become interesting.

This ingress follows upon the full moon that took place four days before, which was also a partial lunar eclipse. The effects shown in the eclipse will color the entire Libra quarter. It will be one of intensive and dramatic change. The latter is indicated in this chart by Ceres far out-of-bounds (OOB), opposite Mars (military turning points, change of season in public perceptions) and with Mars and Ceres on opposite sides of the nodal axis, denoting strong tensions in relationships of all sorts.

Mars and Pluto are in contra-parallel, within a second of arc, an explosive combination and signalling possible use of brute force. Both planets are at the extreme boundaries of declination, thus heightening the combination. Then there are a couple of midpoints worth noting.

By 45° modulus we see Neptune at the Mars/Saturn midpoint:

• • Nep=Mars/Sat: “Weak vitality, an insufficient power to tackle resistance or any obstacles in one’s path-way of life. – Waning powers and weakening efforts, self-torment, the undermining of the vitality (through poison, gas or an epidemic). – A mysterious death, a grievous and grave loss.”

We also see Saturn and Pluto in semisquare, both of them at the Sun/Moon midpoint. That midpoint is actually a sextile, otherwise portending favourable outcomes. But with Saturn and Pluto semisquare, the normal luck we would see from the Sun/Moon trine is somewhat hardened:

• • Sat/Plu: “+ Tenacity and toughness, endurance, the capability to make record efforts of the highest possible order, the ability to perform the most difficult work with extreme self-discipline, self-denial and renunciation. – Magicians and adepts.”
  • – A hard and unfeeling disposition also cold-heartedness, severity, tendency to violence, a fanatical adherence to one’s principles once they have been adopted. A martyr. Violence. (Mass murderer).

We will likely see this across the spectrum of human events. But coupled with all the above, we have a rather interesting dynamic for the quarter:

On the one hand we see the kite configuration mentioned above bringing about fortunate outcomes, sparked by inspiration (Sun/Neptune) and pressure from the masses (Moon/Uranus). The Sun as focal point of the kite brings the focus upon leadership (Sun). But with the underlying more tense and even brutal indications in the chart, there will likely be events that shock the public and leaders into taking firmer action against recalcitrant and violent people and measures. Gaza comes to mind, as does Ukraine. What can we expect, then?

To gain insight into what is to come we need the context of the last quarter. We had this from a general overview, in bold, with the results following, as noted but in more detail from above:

• We can expect more censorship in our Western media: Deplatforming of major independent journalists, YouTube bans, arrests of or legal actions against independent journalists (Medhurst, Ritter and Simes, Sarah Wilkinson, to start). Assange was freed. Telegram founder Durov arrested. RT, Sputnik and all Russian state media banned on Meta platforms. YouTube is throttled in Russia. Hillary Clinton would want to see people jailed for any positive comment on Russia. Larry Wilkerson had a choice world for her.
• We probably will not see an end to the genocide this quarter: Yes, it is off the table. The Biden administration has been cosplaying at efforts for a ceasefire (a phone call is all it would take). Bibi is doing his worst to try to draw the US into a war against all the Resistance factions.
• A voyage toward a real crossroads moment wherein there will be no turning back for any person or group who would have to make choices about their direction in life: Israel just made that choice by seeking to create a buffer zone in southern Lebanon. The same is true of Zelenskyy re: drawing in NATO.
• Looks to be a testing and trying quarter for the masses: There were extreme weather events – Persian Gulf floods, Storm Boris in Europe, extreme heat in Southern and Central Europe, and others. The biggest IT outage in history. The Hajj disaster. There are 56 ongoing wars across the world, the highest number since WWII.
• The powers-that-be will try their hardest to keep the truth from us in the West, while the East and the Global South are looking to the future, with or without the West: The West is mired in its current wars (Israel and Ukraine. North American has seen the largest regional decline in recent years. China is leading the charge for the Global South. An example is the Russia-China grain corridor, highly favoured by BRICS nations.
• There are a few people and corporations making huge profits off the current conflicts. At the same time it points to stock market bubbles, too, coupled with the Sun/Neptune, the latter giving the illusions needed to push a stock to its apex before a selloff: There has been marked instability in the stock market last quarter (archived).

What sort of ‘intensive and dramatic changes’ are we likely to see, then, given the events just recounted? Given the extreme out-of-bounds of Ceres, co-involved with Mars and the nodes we can expect a real ‘crossroads moment’, where serious decisions and readjustments will have to be made. We can expect upsets on the battlefields of the world. Along with thaty we can expect some rather brutal moments over the next months. The Empire is receding and that means the powers that be within the Empire will do all they can to attempt to maintain it.

We can expect the fall of some leaders, as well as new ones arising. We see increasing tensions in Europe, while the leadership in Asian nations looks to be solidifying and moving ahead. The election in the US comes in this quarter. Given the candidates, we can expect an electoral upset in the US.

World militaries will feature strongly in this quarter, driving political changes. Ukraine will become ever-weaker, while Russia is increasingly in the driver’s seat. In West Asia both Israel and the collective West are throwing their reputations to the four winds as the genocide continues, and with Israeli efforts to expand the conflict to encompass several fronts.

The European public is showing growing discontent with its opaque leadership in Brussels, with clear disconnects between the public and leaders in clear evidence. Eastern Europe is driving a growing rebellion in the ranks of the EU, while in Western Europe the leaders there are showing themselves to be irrelevant, yet antithetical to the needs of their constituents.

What we have in all the above is a world at the crossroads, with leadership under scrutiny in the West, leaders forging forward in the East, nations acting in their self-interest as their state apparati seek to survive while the public demands the same governments attend to public needs instead of adventures abroad. Apparent to all now is the colonialist-imperialist mind set of Western powers (including Israel, which is a European project) on full display.

It is apparent that change is going to have to be forced at the international level. For individuals it is time to weigh matters carefully if there are changes needed in one’s life, and then to act decisively on the choices thus made. Libra is known for its emphasis upon choice. May we choose wisely in the months ahead, that humanity prevails over barbarism and Empire.
