The Sun enters Libra on Friday, 23 September just after 01:00 UT, signalling the Libra equinox. It also signals the coming of winter in the northern hemisphere and what is shaping up to be a very \u2018interesting\u2019 period across the Western world. Federal elections will be held in Italy two days after, where a right-wing coalition government is slated to take power. It will be a sign of the times for the EU if so. And to make things even more interesting, on the day of the equinox this year, four Ukrainian oblasts will begin voting to secede from Ukraine and become part of the Russian Federation. For more, read on\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

The precise time of the Libra equinox is 01:04 UT on the 23rd<\/sup>. The chart is below (bigger<\/a><\/span>):<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

The most important considerations for an ingress chart from a mundane perspective are the aspects and midpoints to the ingressing planet, in this case the Sun. The Sun makes an applying opposition to Jupiter, the latter in Aries and retrograde. The Sun also makes separating aspects with Pluto (trine) and Neptune (opposition).Thereby, the Sun forms a midpoint with Jupiter and Neptune, the main midpoint to the Sun: \u201cA lack of self-control, irresponsibility, speculation, a squandering of physical strength<\/strong>. – The act of deceiving or the misfortune of being deceived<\/strong>.\u201d This will have several meanings depending upon the situation, as in economic, military, social and so on. And we can see those highlighted points in all the areas indicated.<\/span><\/p>\n

Speculation, for instance, is endemic in our present economic system. We call this \u2018playing the markets\u2019 but it is much larger than that, because the speculation involved is affecting people\u2019s lives adversely. There is irresponsible behaviour in financial markets, irresponsible behaviour in governments (the Truss administration for instance, though we could cite many others), deceptive practices throughout our media (we are constantly fed a pack of lies by our Western media<\/a><\/span>, especially about a certain Eastern European nation, for instance), and so on. We probably don\u2019t need to belabour the point.<\/span><\/p>\n

The effects cited in the bolded text above will increase going forward over the next weeks. The truth of events worldwide will become clearer as the progressed Moon for the figure moves off the quincunx to the ingress chart Pluto in mid-October. The Moon is in Leo in the figure conjunct Ceres, which brings in an important dynamic \u2013 the needs of the people, as well as a dramatic turning point in addressing those needs, and this goes across nations, again depending upon the needs of individual nations.<\/span><\/p>\n

The basic issue for people at the moment is the class struggle that is taking place across the world where neoliberal economics holds sway. It\u2019s the oligarchs (Pluto) against the people (the Moon), represented in the quincunx. And at the moment it is not clear where the struggle is headed, uncertainty being typical for a quincunx. As yet the people are quite weak, even apathetic, which brings in the factor of Ixion in this figure, square to the Sun at 0\u00b0 Capricorn.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ixion is a plutino, meaning it has an action similar to Pluto. When negatively expressed, Ixion manifests as apathy and surrender, as in \u201cWhat\u2019s the use?\u201d When expressed to the opposite extreme, it is the vengeful madman, pushing the father-in-law into the burning coals. By \u2018father-in-law\u2019 here, we mean the oligarch class, or \u20181%\u2019. Ixion\u2019s transit through Capricorn will bring the public focus onto the injustices wrought through the misuse of money and power. It will act like the piece of grit in the oyster shell that produces the pearl. This quarter will seed many protests across the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

A recent post by Chris Hedges<\/span><\/a> spoke of what will evolve over time regarding the class struggle. We see it starting in the UK and the US \u2013 civil disobedience and strike actions, another word for protests. Those strikes are what the oligarchy fear the most, because it affects their bottom line and bores into their profits. And with energy prices growing ferociously across the West, especially, those strike actions will increase. It is the one weapon a united public has to roll back the widening wealth inequality we have witnessed over the last 50 years.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unless people organize, stand up and demand change, there will be no redressing the transfer of wealth upward. It would help to keep in mind that Libra is connected with the law, sex and money, its primary mundane manifestations. But in doing so, in standing up, the fight will be hard and we can expect there will be blood. The oligarchy is not simply going to hand over their gains and say, \u201cOh, well.\u201d As their wealth goes, so goes their power.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pluto represents power, and every trick to keep the public from rising will be rolled out, first in the media and then via coercive measures. Libra also rules open enemies and conflict, as well as resolution of the same and ensuing contracts. One leads to the other, often.<\/span><\/p>\n

This brings up the next topic, which is the just-announced partial mobilization of Russian military reserves. The character of the conflict in Ukraine has changed<\/a><\/span>. Referendums start in the four oblasts under Russian control \u2013 Lugansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson \u2013 and on the ingress day. This is shown in the quintile triangle in the figure, with Moon and Jupiter as the base and Mars as the apex\/midpoint planets, giving us Mars=Moon\/Jup: \u201cA healthy love-relationship, love of enterprise, striving for success. – The happy wife, the cheerful mother, the success of a woman.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018Woman\/wife\/mother\u2019 in this case can be substituted by \u2018common people\u2019, which the Moon represents. It can also mean the return of these oblasts to Mother Russia, which they were a part of until Ukrainian independence in 1991. Before then the whole of Ukraine was a Soviet satellite state. The region has been Russian-speaking for centuries and used to be the heart of Novorossiya<\/a><\/span>. There has long been a \u2018love-relationship\u2019 between Russia and what used to be Novorossiya.<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, the Western powers will never accept that these regions will return to Russia. It won\u2019t matter. As far as Russia is concerned \u2013 and probably the larger part of the world\u2019s nations will agree with them, however quietly \u2013 those four oblasts will once again be Russian territory, with all that will mean for the ongoing conflict. They will likely be accepted into the Russian Federation in October.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the meantime, the 300,000 Russian reservists who have been called up are in training and will be deployed to these new Russian territories gradually over this quarter. At that point the conflict in Ukraine becomes closer to a war footing than the Russian SMO, as many commentators are saying. It is all too much to get into here. That will be covered more in another post.<\/span><\/p>\n

With the preceding points in mind and to get an idea of what this quarter is likely to bring, we take a look at the last quarter (forming the foundation going forward) and how the forecast for that quarter worked out. The main forecasts from the Cancerian quarter were as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n
