So far the Capricorn quarter and the New Year has been both exciting and interesting and not in the most positive of ways. As was forecast in the outlook for the quarter this Capricorn interval has started with a bang, and on several fronts.

It is also in parallel with the Sun and Pluto by declination, a very explosive combination. In addition it forms a midpoint with Uranus and Pluto in the last days of this year, persisting off and on until the middle of January. Mars will remain out-of-bounds for a month, increasing tensions, militarism and rash judgements. It is somewhat similar to this midpoint:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino; font-size: 20px;\">Sun=Mars\/Pluto: \u201cA hard-working person, the ability to work till collapse or complete breakdown.

The US has pled with Israel for restraint while there are ongoing negotiations with Hezbollah to withdraw.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino; font-size: 20px;\">Mars reached its peak OOB and stationed there for a few days from the 4<sup>th<\/sup> through to the 9<sup>th<\/sup> of January. During that time it formed midpoints with Saturn\/Pluto as the midpoint itself until the 7<sup>th<\/sup> and is involved in another midpoint, Ceres=Mars\/Saturn. The latter may appear on the surface to be benign, but then we remember Ceres is involved in \u201ccrises at the crossroads\u201d, which in this case probably represents a change in tactics or strategy regarding Israel and Ukraine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino; font-size: 20px;\">Ceres bears a closer look, since she has been elevated from asteroid status to that of a dwarf planet, especially in the mythology regarding the abduction of her daughter, Proserpine, by Pluto. Ceres\u2019 mythology was taken more or less directly from the Greek mythology of Demeter (Ceres\u2019 equivalent) and Persephone. <span style=\"color: #993300;\"><a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"https:\/\/mythopedia.com\/topics\/ceres\">We have the following<\/a><\/span>:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino; font-size: 20px;\">&#8220;Devastated by the loss of her daughter, and not knowing what really happened, Ceres set off in search of the missing girl. Though she traveled far and wide, carrying a torch to help her see clearly, her search was fruitless. At long last, Ceres made her way to Sicily and found Prosperina\u2019s belt, which had come loose as she was dragged away. In her sorrowful anger, Ceres put a curse on the earth, blighting the crops and leaving the land barren:<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino; font-size: 20px;\">\u201cCeres the token by her grief confest,<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino; font-size: 20px;\">And tore her golden hair, and beat her breast.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino; font-size: 20px;\">She knows not on what land her curse shou\u2019d fall,<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino; font-size: 20px;\">But, as ingrate, alike upbraids them all,<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino; font-size: 20px;\">Unworthy of her gifts.\u201d <span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">(Ovid, Metamorphoses, 5.472\u201375, trans. Samuel Garth et al.)<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino; font-size: 20px;\">Although in most astrological interpretations involving Ceres one would find references to fruitfulness, agriculture, women and nurturing, there is another side seldom mentioned: Ceres\u2019 myth was used to describe the change of the seasons, as part of the cycle of farming. Also seldom if ever mentioned is Ceres\u2019 connection with Pluto, with loss, with angry and spiteful actions when aggrieved and the search for the \u2018lost child\u2019. Pluto as well is often associated with the search for a <span style=\"color: #993300;\"><a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Quest#Quest_objects\">quest object<\/a><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino; font-size: 20px;\">When functioning normally in a chart, Ceres does indeed indicate care, nurturing, abundance, motherly love and so on. But what I have seen consistently in charts is that directions (primary and solar arc) to and by Ceres often indicate \u2018a change of season\u2019 and a crisis, often accompanied by acute anxiety. Many people fear and have anxiety when change confronts them. But there is a further and deeper meaning to Ceres, and it relates to the involvement with Pluto, central to her mythology \u2013 recovery from the actions of Pluto. We see this is the chart for the Capricorn quarter this year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino; font-size: 20px;\">Shown in the parallels of declination for the quarter are a close stellium of the Sun, Mars and Pluto, all parallel in the southern latitude within less than 30\u2019 of arc. With the Sun and Mars the parallel could be called \u2018<span style=\"color: #993300;\"><a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"https:\/\/theastrologydictionary.com\/c\/cazimi\/\">cazimi<\/a><\/span> by parallel\u2019, as the Sun and Mars are within 4\u2019 of arc. As described in the forecast for the quarter, this is a very explosive and militant combination. It is a combination that speaks of the overtaxing of one\u2019s strength and of war, which is what we are seeing in West Asia and the Red Sea.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino; font-size: 20px;\">To reiterate a point made <span style=\"color: #993300;\"><a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"https:\/\/malvinartley.com\/blog.malvinartley.com\/2019\/03\/11\/a-few-words-on-midpoints\/\">in a post here about midpoints<\/a><\/span>, they evolved out a search to find a way to predict the timing and severity of artillery barrages:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino; font-size: 20px;\">\u201cRegarding geopolitical shifts, Witte began his investigations of midpoints during the first World War, when he was stationed on the Russian front. He was seeking a way to time the artillery barrages by the Russians, because conventional astrology, with its reliance on houses, standard rulerships and Ptolemaic aspects, was found to be lacking\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino; font-size: 20px;\">Midpoints are especially useful in event charts in the timing of events. They also give a deeper interpretation to any type of chart. The chart for this quarter is a case in point, with the series of sextiles in that chart suggesting something quite different from what we are seeing at present in world events. The sextiles show the evolving nature of currents events for the quarter, while the midpoints show the immediate impacts. This is an idea worth considering \u2013 immediate impact (midpoints) in distinction to how events will evolve (the aspects).<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino; font-size: 20px;\">In considering the preceding ideas, we have the following describing the beginning of this quarter:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino; font-size: 20px;\"><strong>Mars out-of-bounds<\/strong>: The pronounced and unfettered actions of Mars (violence, conflict, war), coupled with,<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino; font-size: 20px;\"><strong>The Sun\/Mars\/Pluto parallels<\/strong>: a combination described by Ebertin as, \u201cFanaticism or one-sidedness in work, the desire to achieve a lot or to make a great effort, unscrupulous procedure. \u2013 The overtaxing of one&#8217;s strength, violence.
