The Grand Trine has two release points, which are Mars and Neptune along with their associated midpoints. This has the looks of being an extraordinary and revolutionary quarter. We note the Sun in opposition to Neptune and Mars in opposition to Pluto. We will come back to those two planets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">In addition to the main standouts we also see a square between Ceres and Saturn, the most obvious meaning of that square being there will be restrictions in supply and logistics. Ceres has to do with the harvest and in mundane charts represents foodstuffs, supplies, and crossroads experiences.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">The exact square between Ceres and Saturn was on the 18<sup>th<\/sup> of this month, around the date when the oil spooks in the US announced the fuel crisis \u2013 the real one \u2013 had finally arrived. That was also near the date when Ansar Allah (the so-called Houthis) gained full control of the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, a real turning point in the Saudi-Yemeni war.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Since this is a solar ingress chart the aspects and midpoints to the Sun are of more than average importance. The Sun opposite Neptune generally indicates hypersensitivity, a rich fantasy life often unrelated to realities, but it can also indicate visionaries and people who can access the subtle realms when the opposition is well integrated with the rest of the chart. The Grand Trine integrates the Sun fairly well, but it is not what we would call a personal influence. Instead what we are looking at with the combined influence of Uranus and Pluto is a revolutionary and transformative outlook by and large.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Noting the midpoints to Neptune, we see that Neptune is sesquisquare to Jupiter. The two planets are also integral with another midpoint, described presently. Jupiter\/Neptune combinations generally signify visionaries, dreamers, speculators and hypocrites in mundane charts. There will be plenty of those qualities in people to go around. The thinkers and visionaries in this world will fare quite well during this quarter. Speculators and hypocrites will also be plying their trades as the quarter progresses. Then we have the Venus\/Node midpoint. Venus\/Node combinations most often refer to the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">+ Adaptability and adaptation, obligingness, a pleasant and engaging personality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">&#8211; Lack of adaptability, little endeavor to oblige other people, a disagreeable nature.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">When we combine the Jupiter\/Neptune influence with the Venus\/Node midpoint we can see combinations of all the preceding behaviors described in those four influences in the following string: Jup\/Nep=Ven\/Node. On the one hand we can see the dreamers and visionaries who are looking to the future and a multipolar world where hegemony has breathed its last. On the other hand we will see the movers and shakers in the passing world order showing a lack of adaptability, their generally disagreeable nature and their hypocrisy as they seek to hold on to the old status quo. Both will be in evidence this quarter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Next we turn to the Mars release point to the Grand Trine. Mars is square to Eris, meaning the rhetoric meant to march us off to war will be particularly strident this quarter. Don&#8217;t buy into it. We note in addition in the declination table that Mars is parallel to Uranus. Parallels of declination behave like conjunctions. With Mars and Uranus combined we have the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><strong>Mars\/Uranus<\/strong>: \u201cObstinacy, brutal frankness, self-will and willfulness, intolerance, haste and premature action, the liability or proneness to injuries or accidents.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Mars is also in a septile aspect with Uranus, pointing to \u2018acts compelled by a collective need\u2019. Our politicians will try to tell us our collective need is to prepare for war. Take your pick as to which nation with whom we \u2018must\u2019 go to war. Our real collective compulsion, though, is to hold our errant politicians to account. We would do better to be brutally frank with them and say, \u201cHell no! We won\u2019t go!\u201d Hegseth can go if he likes. <span style=\"color: #993300;\"><a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DOWResponse\/status\/2101293140946644997\">He has started is \u201cSend Me\u201d tour<\/a><\/span> trying to dupe people using religion into fighting Iran for the oligarchs and Israel. We are happy to send him. That brings us to a most important midpoint for this figure: Mars=Mer\/Plu.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><strong>Mars=Mer\/Plu<\/strong>: \u201cIndefatigability, the ability to master great tasks, sharp criticism, <em>the desire to attack others. &#8211; A blackmailer<\/em>.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">When we see that Mars is approaching its exact opposition with Pluto (4 October), we can probably expect something along the lines of an October surprise. The Sun will be opposite Saturn on that day with Mercury forming the apex of a t-square comprised of the planets forming the midpoint just described. October could indeed be a very interesting month, given that Netanyahu is desperate to restart the war with Iran as a means to save his political skin. Israeli elections are on the 27<sup>th<\/sup> of October and wartime presidents are usually handily re-elected. Hegseth is happy to oblige.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Speaking of Mercury, there is yet another important indicator for the quarter, as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><strong>Mer=Mars\/Sat<\/strong>: \u201cThoughtlessness, hopelessness. &#8211; Thoughts on separation, illness, death or the next world beyond. &#8211; <em>News of mourning and bereavement (murderers).<\/em>\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">We need to avoid such thoughts and stay as positive as possible. Mention was made above of Mars being in a septile aspect with Uranus. Mars is also in a septile-based aspect with Saturn \u2013 a bi-septile. Mercury forms the midpoint by the 45\u00b0 modulus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Mars\/Saturn combinations in mundane charts generally point to tests of strength, disputes, separations, illnesses and cases of death. With Mercury at the midpoint we are looking at things like news of death, deaths in transit, mistakes in communications that can cause deaths or even people who have passed on speaking to us from \u2018the world beyond\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">So, to boil all this down into what we might expect for this quarter we <a href=\"https:\/\/malvinartley.com\/blog.malvinartley.com\/2026\/06\/29\/the-cancer-solar-ingress-for-2026\/\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">look back to what happened in the last quarter<\/span><\/a> as a basis.

Transiting Jupiter will contact the Plu=Mar\/Sat midpoint in the ingress figure: Jup\/Plu=Mar\/Sat: The complete concentration of energy upon a particular objective to the entire exclusion of other interests, the ability to render quick work (satisfactorily). \u2013 The ability to destroy or eliminate something thoroughly. \u2013 The stage of improvement during an illness, a fortunate separation, a quick dissolution (of the body)\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Jupiter\/Pluto combinations have the following attributes, positive and negative:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><strong>Jup\/Plu<\/strong>: \u201c+ The <em>leading of or the participation in uprisings<\/em>, <em>the attainment of leadership<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">\u2013 <em>Loss of social standing and of one\u2019s wealth<\/em>, con\ufb02icts with the authorities and the executors of governmental power (arrest). <em>The misfortune to lose everything<\/em>.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><strong>Result<\/strong>: The <a href=\"https:\/\/sanaacenter.org\/publications\/perspectives-and-analyses\/27981\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Saudis bombed the airport in Sana\u2019a<\/span><\/a>, Yemen to prevent an Iranian plane from landing. This broke the 2022 ceasefire between Yemen and Saudi Arabia. The bombing took place on 13 July. The next day the war between the two reignited. It has escalated to the point that the Saudi ruling family may be toppled. Their accumulated wealth has been wiped out. Reading the Jup\/Plu attributes above, Ansar Allah has attained control over the Bab al-Mandeb Strait as a result. The Saudis have experienced the negatives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">In addition to the above, there was <span style=\"color: #993300;\"><a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/2026_Nigerien_coup_attempt\">a coup attempt in Niger<\/a><\/span>.

Do not expect a savior to step forward.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><strong>Result<\/strong>: This can be seen as the sweeping victories by Ansar Allah, which has sent a political earthquake through the region, ending the Abraham Accords once and for all, signalling the probable end of the petro-dollar and giving control of a shipping route upon which the economics of Europe absolutely depends to Ansar Allah. The latter is a nightmare for Washington and European capitals. It is a black swan for Washington and Israel. The rest of the world is celebrating.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><strong>Forecast<\/strong>: \u201cWe are entering into a period of what I would call \u2018positive disillusionment\u2019 \u2013 in other words, the disillusionment with the status quo\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><strong>Result<\/strong>: One has only to look at Germany, where <a href=\"https:\/\/www.france24.com\/en\/regional-losses-for-germany-s-ruling-cdu\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">the ruling CDU Party is being routed<\/span><\/a>, one province at a time. The German public has had it with Merz, talk of re-armament and austerity. Merz has vowed to stay on and sink with the ship, though, for which most Germans will be happy to watch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">The UK is another place to look, where Starmer was replaced with Starmer v. 2.0, where <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasnimnews.ir\/en\/news\/2026\/09\/06\/3690144\/more-than-60-000-arrested-in-uk-in-chilling-curb-of-free-speech\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">over 60,000 people have been arrested for practising free speech<\/span><\/a> (protesting against genocide and for social media posts critical of Israel, of all things). And then there is Trump, whose approval rating is one of the lowest of any presidents in the US since polling started in the 1930s.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><strong>Forecast<\/strong>: \u201c\u2026The American strategic petroleum reserves will be at critical levels by that point, with rising prices for just about everything (inflation), financial instability, and so on\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><strong>Result<\/strong>: Yep. And it\u2019s about to get worse.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Before we get to the forecast there is a handy chart where you can check fuel prices and toggle the quantities if you are interested: <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.globalpetrolprices.com\/diesel_prices\/\">https:\/\/www.globalpetrolprices.com\/diesel_prices\/<\/a><\/span> It is updated monthly. Now we get to the forecast for the quarter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">We are experiencing the Mars activation of <span style=\"color: #993300;\"><a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"https:\/\/malvinartley.com\/blog.malvinartley.com\/2026\/08\/11\/12-august-2026-total-solar-eclipse\/\">the 12 Aug 2026 total solar eclipse<\/a><\/span> now, at the ingress. Tensions are running very high at the moment, especially in the Middle East, with the Saudis on very shaky ground as a result of their war with Yemen. The kingdom could fall at any time. Solar eclipses often signal changes in leadership and we see that on the Arabian Peninsula and in Germany.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">There was scuttlebutt over the weekend that the US was being drawn into the war between the Saudis and Yemen. This came on the heels of a high level meeting in Germany that was attended by US, European and Israeli military leadership. But then, since Trump likes the TACO dance, he decided \u2013 or perhaps his advisors decided for him \u2013 that attacking Yemen was probably not the best idea. The disaster was averted. The Saudis experienced the Trump bus once again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">On the 9<sup>th<\/sup> of December of this year we have the median activation date of <a href=\"https:\/\/malvinartley.com\/blog.malvinartley.com\/2026\/08\/28\/the-28-august-deep-partial-lunar-eclipse\/\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">the 28 Aug 2026 eclipse<\/span><\/a>. The activation will start a week or two before that date. We can expect more fun and games when that activation takes place. However, there will also be a Jupiter activation along with the Mars activations, which makes for a rather interesting outlook. Their will either be mass destruction, or the military actions that are being planned in Europe and the Middle East will be averted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Aside from the eclipse activations, we can expect this quarter to be marked by blackmail, attempts to steal elections, shortages to increase \u2013 largely because neither the Iranians nor Ansar Allah are prepared to budge on their demands. Ansar Allah wants the blockade on Yemen lifted by the Saudis. The Iranians want the US out of the region. And neither Washington nor Riyadh appears to be inclined to show some humility and common sense and simply end these conflicts and walk away. But it would be in their best interests to do so.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Meanwhile, the general public across the world will suffer the consequences of the hubris of the Western and Western-aligned powers, with higher prices, shortages of certain goods and the uncertainty \u2013 given the opposition by the Sun to Neptune in the ingress chart \u2013 of when these wars will finally be resolved. It would probably be a safe bet to assume that Netanyahu will be applying certain pressures to Trump to jumpstart the war with Iran anew since his freedom and political neck depend upon it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">For Americans in particular, if you want to see the Trump agenda stopped in its tracks you better get out and vote, even though the Republicans and AIPAC are pouring money into this campaign to shore up their troubled candidates. <a href=\"https:\/\/seymourhersh.substack.com\/p\/the-elections-the-gop-wants-to-steal\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Sy Hersh just put out a piece<\/span><\/a> outlining how the GOP wants to steal the election in November. The ICE men cometh to a Latino neighborhood near you. We can expect that much the same is happening in Israel regarding Netanyahu.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">It is certainly going to be an exciting quarter, folks. If you can, keep some cash on hand, a bit of food in the cupboard and petrol in the car, unless you have an electric car. And stay aware: Not everything will be as we are told from official channels this quarter. Certain \u2018news\u2019 outlets are already rolling out dire warnings and atrocity porn to ready us for military actions. The powers-that-be want to send you, too, along with Six Gun Pete. As always, too, it\u2019s a good idea to keep good relations with your neighbors. You never know when you might need them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Featured pic from <span style=\"color: #993300;\"><a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"https:\/\/displate.com\/displate\/10052544\">Lineer at Displate<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Libra solar ingress takes place early in the morning of the 23rd of September 2026 in Europe, late on the 22nd in the Western hemisphere.
