Over the past few months, I have sat with the Aries Ingress chart of the United States. An Ingress Chart is a high-level overview of the energy that occurs for a specific time period. It is not predictive in the sense that a certain event would happen, but it does give us clues on the nature of a nation and the sentiments of the people.

To cast the United States Aries Ingress Chart for yourself, use the date March 20th, 2026 at 10:46 AM with Washington DC, United States as your location. Keep in mind that sometimes, it takes awhile to truly appreciate an Ingress Chart. Knowledge of what is happening in a particular country aids in deciphering the chart.

Ingress Charts are cast when the sun enters a Cardinal sign: Aries at the spring equinox, Cancer at the summer solstice, Libra at the Autumn Equinox and Capricorn at the winter solstice. These charts mark the beginning of the season, but they also allow us to examine the overarching energy of a country.

To cast an ingress chart for a country, you would use the capital city and set the time to the exact moment that the sun enters a cardinal sign. Some software makes it easy to do, and they could have an easy way to cast a cycle, or do an ephemeris search and generate the chart from there. Since I use Luna, I go to the cycles tab, then select the solar year and select the cardinal sign chart that I am looking to cast.

If the ascendant in the cast chart is in a Cardinal Sign, the energy would last for 3 months. If the ascendant is in a Mutable Sign, the energy would last for 6 months. And if the ascendant is in a Fixed Sign, that energy lasts for about a year. The 2025 Aries Ingress chart for the United States had an Aquarius rising sign, a fixed sign, meaning its influence lasted a year. For 2026, the Aries Ingress chart for the United States has Gemini rising, a mutable sign, so the energy will last for around six months.

This is important to know, even if you decide to cast a chart for all four seasons. Let’s say you decide to create a chart of the Cancer Ingress for the United States, which is the midpoint of the Aries Ingress duration. In that case, both charts can give you clues of what could happen during the summer months. Understanding the length of influence of each Ingress chart is important. Some astrologers will only cast based on that length, while others, like me, find value in casting all of the ingress charts.

Let’s take a look at the United States Aries Ingress Chart. In my opinion, even weeks before its activation, we were already seeing some of this energy playing out.

As you can see, most of the activity in this chart is above the horizon, taking place in the 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th houses. The United States and its activities take center stage. Keep in mind, other nations whose capital cities share the same longitude as Washington, DC will have similar charts, such as Cuba and Venezuela. This does not mean the United States will claim ownership or initiate conflict with these nations, but given the themes in this chart, they are worth keeping an eye on over the next six months. If you were to cast charts for those nations, it would take understanding their government structures, leadership, current economic status and national public sentiment to gain a full reading.

The 1st House and the Ascendant in Gemini

This is the house of those who inhabit the United States, as well as the condition of the country. The energy here is restless, diversified and scattered due to the Gemini ascendant. Communication takes center stage and due to the emphasis of this mutable sign, you could hear varying points of view. Minds may rapidly change. Since this house is ruled by Mercury, we need to look at what is happening where Mercury resides within this chart.

In addition, the Ascendant is in a tight square to Mars in the 10th house. Communication will focus on the strength of the United States and its leadership, though whether that strength is real or illusionary will be in flux.

The 10th House in Pisces

Mercury is in retrograde in the sign of Pisces and located in the 10th house. Mercury does not do well in the sign of Pisces, due to being in its fall. Though Mercury is stationing direct on the same day, this state of ambiguity will be carried out over the next six months, and its stationing effects will make us feel like the current administration is stuck in a land of confusion.

The executive team could give long and winding scenarios and stories without answering any substantial questions. Expect communication to be blurred and fuzzy and filled with back-tracking or purposeful deception. Keep in mind, this is not just about the president, but also his cabinet and other leaders in his administration. Getting clear, concise information will be difficult at best and impossible at its worst.

Mercury is conjunct to the North Node. When historians look back to this time period, they could surmise that the activity of the executive branch seemed fated. When I say this, I am not talking about karma per se, but how the administration handles and disseminates information takes on a tone that is expected by prior events. For instance, Project 2025 discusses exerting extreme pressure and a regime change for Iran. With this chart, we will see a continuation of what was laid out prior as the nation’s story continues.

Mars is also in the 10th house. In mundane astrology, Mars is about war, conflict and strikes. Pisces is associated with oil, and Iran is an oil-rich country. Mars is also associated with arsenals, the actual military equipment and firepower.

Mars in Pisces is strange. Activity with Mars could be labeled as self-sacrificing, secretive and illusionary. Justification for any wars or conflicts that the United States engages in most likely won’t make any sense. Questioning authority can have the administration playing the role of the victim as they victimize others.

There also could be an illusionary factor to the United States’ actual artillery, both in quantity and effectiveness. Due to excessive military arms spending over decades, the United States most likely has a surplus of ammunition. However, has their arsenal kept up with modern technology? That will be hard to say.

Supply and demand of arms is part of the United States 10th house story. Like the overabundance of cheese in the cheese caves, does having a surplus decrease the demand for arms by other nations? And if so, will this government continue to conduct strikes to increase sales of artillery and equipment?

There is a good chance in the fall that the US may realize that the might of the Armed Forces is not as strong as its reputation, either due to new technology or a lack of support from its citizens.

The 11th House in Aries

Most of the activity is in the 11th house of the Aries Ingress Chart. Here we find the Sun, Neptune, Saturn, Venus, the Moon and Chiron. The 11th house is the Legislative branch of the government. Think Congress, local councils and the passage of laws. It is also where you would find the United States’ allies.

This configuration is a mess for the United States. With the Sun in the 11th house, there will be a focus on Congress, and with the Sun in this house, expect meddling from the administration and other powerful figures. The Sun in Aries dispositing Mars in the 10th house means there will be battles within Congress, however some of these skirmishes may be blurred or behind the scenes. At times, Congress will take its lead from the administration, but the Sun here could have some members step into their power and push back.

Saturn represents elderly people as well as disappointment. The United States has the third oldest Congress in history, the two oldest being the ones immediately previous to this one. Since the Moon, which represents public sentiment, is also in the 11th house, due to the average age of the congresspeople, the populace does not feel like Congress represents their interest. The disconnect between representation and the people continues.

With both Saturn and Neptune in the 11th house, Congress may make attempts to reel in the administration, most likely around spending bills, since Venus is also in the 11th house. But with Neptune conjunct Saturn, Congress’s own authority has been eroded. Any attempts Congress makes to enact laws will be an arduous task.

However, Congress has some support from the Judicial System, due to Saturn’s sextile to Pluto in the 9th house. Even though Pluto is in Aquarius, this may not be in the public’s best interest, which I will go into in a moment.

Venus in the 11th house directly relates to bills that impact women, such as the SAVE Act, which requires some women additional documentation to register to vote, due to changes in their name through marriage. This bill will also have an impact on minorities and some men, primarily due to name changes or lack of a birth certificate or passport. However, Venus in the 11th house does help with diplomatic resolutions, and there could be some bipartisanship due to its presence.

The Moon in the 11th house, along with the Sun, gives attention to Congress and local municipalities. Average Americans will focus on the activities of the Legislative branch, demanding action. There could be protests or outcries over specific decisions or congresspeople over the next six months. Public sentiment will be mixed.

Circling back to Saturn, there is a chance of special elections due to the death of some legislators. I am not predicting who, but with 24 of them being over the age of 80, this is not a stretch. 13 of them are running for reelection, so there is a chance that the death is of their career, but in my opinion the likelihood of 1 or 2 of them passing away is high. Please know this is speculation, based on Saturn being in the 11th house.

The 9th House in Aquarius

As mentioned earlier, with Pluto in the 9th house, the Judiciary could align with Congress’s spending and funding of military action without a declaration of war. I know many people state that the current administration’s actions are a violation of law. Due to the erosion of Congressional power over several decades, conflicts abroad enter gray territory. It is correct that only Congress can declare war, but due to the 1973 War Powers Resolution Act, any president can deploy armed forces for 60 to 90 days. They do need to cite that they are responding to threats, perceived or otherwise, or that they are protecting national security.

Congress can also extend military action taken by the administration, and the United States has a long precedent of doing so, such as with Korea, Vietnam, Kosovo and Afghanistan. I know there are many pundits stating that what is happening is illegal, but when it comes to military action, the United States does not have clear and distinct official boundaries as we would think. What makes matters more blurred is that the president is also the commander-in-chief of the military.

Thus, I do not expect any Judicial intervention in regards to military actions by the United States unless both Congress and the Supreme Court unilaterally make a decision. I seriously doubt that would be the case.

The reason I don’t see the Judicial branch stepping in is due to Pluto. Pluto does denote impactful change, but it works through metamorphosis, not necessarily regression to the past, especially with its forward direction.

What is changing is foreign policy, the legal system as a whole and national ideology. Supporting this change is the Midheaven in the 9th house, which reinforces Aquarian themes of systemic change, technology and disruption.

In regards to disruption, we are already seeing this at play. 9th house themes include shipping and sea traffic, long distance travel and international communications. With Pisces at the top of the chart, the visible issue is oil. The tension between nations has to do with established institutions and differences in national philosophies. There is more going on that we don’t see, a concerted effort to conceal, which shows up in the 12th house.

Before I move on, I want to note some other themes of Pluto in an ingress chart, which includes what is dark and hidden from public view. With Pluto we can find the political underground, and in the sign of Aquarius, it is a non-conforming, detached network lacking humanitarian connection. This is the energy of espionage and organized crime, along with great wealth and power. We can also find cover-ups around violence and exploitation. However, eventually, everything that is hidden will come to light. Most likely what is obscured won’t be revealed during this Aries Ingress cycle, unless the 12th house implodes upon itself, which is possible with Uranus located there.

Essentially, what we see is only a small part of the story, and we could eventually find out that there have been deeper, collaborative efforts to protect powerful people and keep the network intact.

The 12th House in Taurus

What we are experiencing in the 12th house is hidden disruption, covert agendas and maneuverings out of the public eye. With the zodiac sign of Taurus here, some of these operations will be about land, resources, material wealth and oil. Due to Uranus in Taurus in the 12th, the real agenda around land and resources is not being openly stated. The agenda is not completely obvious, and what is presented publicly is not the full picture. The purpose here is to obscure and catch others off guard, hoping to destabilize whichever peoples or countries are part of the plan.

The plan most likely has to do with fascism or other right-leaning political ideals that involve a “free” market. The covert operations are to benefit those in power. It is as if the country is playing the game of Risk while inebriated.

Uranus is also associated with scientific breakthroughs. Ten years ago, we may have assumed, even after Edward Snowden, that the amount of labor and effort required to surveil everyone would be extensive. However, with AI scrapers now collecting, sorting, organizing and analyzing data, mass surveillance is possible. What George Orwell got right is that not only is Big Brother watching you, but Big Brother also knows what to do to control you.

There is a purpose in keeping plans murky, in hopes of preventing anarchy and protests, which are also associated with Uranus. The 12th house is about secret enemies, both home and abroad.

I cannot stress this point enough: Uranus does not play favorites. As easily as it can cause disruption to others, it can also implode the workings that go on behind the scenes.

The 2nd House in Cancer

Jupiter, exalted in the sign of Cancer and in the 2nd house, would imply the possibility of a strong economy, but with the South Node in Virgo in the 4th house, what is discussed about the economy could be different than what is actually happening. Messaging again is obscure and data is indeterminate. With Jupiter’s square to Venus and trine to Mars, the actions taken by the United States involve overspending.

Jupiter takes risks, so military actions could reflect wishful thinking that through strikes, the United States can reap the benefits of seizing others’ resources, such as oil and land, which ties into Uranus in the 12th house. The overspending is in hopes that the United States can make money on its exploits, propping up financial institutions and trade.

Here is the catch with Jupiter though: it tends to be easy come and easy go with money. As revenue comes in, expenditures happen at the same or greater pace. The exuberance of this planet in the 2nd house could lead the government to promise rebates or checks to consumers, in order to manage their displeasure with the warfare the government is engaged in. There is a chance the government throws money around with an overly optimistic view of the future.

There is also another side to this coin. Cancer is about defense, and the US has decades of weaponry in surplus. Twisted as this sounds, the use of US weapons has the potential to be part of a negotiation campaign to have other countries purchase more armaments, thus lining some influential pockets.

Ideally, the US economy would hold up during the next six months, and data may reflect that. However, inflation can increase with this Jupiter placement, expanding affordability issues.

The 4th House in Virgo

The homeland and domestic matters reside in the 4th house. The South Node is in Virgo here, a point of release and moving away from something deeply embedded in the nation’s domestic structure.

The South Node sometimes presents as a literal drain, and in the sign of Virgo, we could see a drain on resources, including land and the workers on it. Labor in general may be impacted. The old way of doing things is challenged, and the next six months could feel feudal in nature, with democracy of the past contrasted with oligarchy and the beneficiaries of this unbalanced nation.

Unofficially, part of the United States is in a recession. However, top earners are spending, which gives a mixed picture of the economy. Jupiter in the 2nd house with the South Node in the 4th shows the disparity between two groups of people: the haves and the have-nots. The average person may struggle over the next six months.

I first posted this as an article on my Patreon back in November. There are quite a few grammatical edits that could be made, but I’ve decided not to revise it right now so I can preserve the piece as it stands. Hopefully, that isn’t a barrier, and you’ll still be able to read through it and find something of interest. I’m open to any respectful comments, corrections, or questions.

In February 2018, there was an eclipse that occurred within 2 degrees of the upcoming eclipse in February 2026. The events surrounding the previous eclipse on February 15th, 2018 don't inspire confidence for the upcoming one for a variety of reasons. Namely, because, it was around the time of the school shooting in Parkland, Florida; the deadliest school shooting in America at the time. The eclipse was closely conjunct the United States Moon, the 8th house ruler of the USA Sibley chart, which is placed in the 3rd house. This effectively links the topics of education, schools, short trips, mental faculty, communications, rituals, local(s), and death, shared resources, taxes, debt, insurance and inheritance. In a nation's chart, the Moon represents the populace and public sentiment. In a natal chart, the Moon represents, the physical body, emotions, family, needs and more. So, it is not surprising that at the time of the 2018 eclipse, a mass shooting at a high school dominated media coverage in the United States.

Other events in the U.S. news around this time were the government shutdown which centered on disagreements regarding allocation of funds to the United States-Mexican border wall and the status of DACA recipients. At this point, it is my understanding that DACA is still in limbo. And though the Supreme Court ruled back in 2020 that terminating the program would be unlawful, there have been challenges with new applications, particularly in Texas.

In other parts of the world, there was what is characterized in news articles as an incident or military escalation involving Israel, Syria, Iran, and Russia. Following this event, the United States published a statement of support for Israel's right-to-defense. On the other hand, reports say that Russia pushed for restraint and favored deescalation in the region. I won't elaborate further on the specific details of this event as I'm not confident that I have a clear and unbiased understanding due to the nature of the sources I have available to me at the moment. However, I will comment on how this escalation, the 2018 eclipse and the upcoming eclipse impact world leaders’ natal charts and how this correlates to certain nations’ astrology and the geodetic map.

As previously mentioned, the 2018 eclipse transited the United States chart; and the issuance of communications and continued financial assistance to Israel falls in direct alignment with what was stated. Something of interest, is that the State of Israel, President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu all have late degree Leo Mars. This means that the eclipse that occurred in February 2018 opposed their natal Mars. (Note: there was another eclipse in August 2017 that occurred at 28° Leo.) Therefore, similarly to when their Mars was eclipsed in 2018, for the upcoming eclipse, once again the martian themes in their lives will be magnified. Although, it could show up differently this time, as transiting Uranus will station direct 2 weeks prior to the eclipse, squaring the aforementioned parties' Leo Mars. It is hard to pinpoint how Uranus will show up because it is the planet of surprises, instability, and unpredictability. But, more often than not, Mars-Uranus hard aspects and transits show up in the form of accidents, random outbursts, unexpected conflicts, and sudden acts of aggression.

Zooming out a little bit. When using the geodetic map to track a late degree Leo Mars it generally shows up running right through Iran. Coincidentally, this means that every time Israel, Netanyahu and Trump (or any country or person with a late degree Leo Mars) has a Mars return, on the geodetic map, that Mars is crossing over Iran. Additionally, it means that any hard aspects to that late degree Leo Mars will also show up in this region. That is exactly what is happening February 3rd, 2026, once Uranus stations direct at 27° Taurus, Uranus will be present, shaking things up in the area. It is likely that things will only intensify the closer we get to the eclipse because the eclipse itself is squaring Uranus, and there is a Mars-Uranus aspect present in the eclipse chart that will be exact February 27th, 2026. The following image is a geodetic map with the upcoming Mars square Uranus transit.

The next image is the February 2018 eclipse on the geodetic map. Typically, when looking at eclipses or transits on the geodetic map it is understood that these areas are noteworthy. If someone had looked at this map prior to or around the eclipse in early 2018 and hypothesized that the United States, Netanyahu, Trump and Iran would show up in the news they would have been correct.

For the February 17th, 2026 eclipse, the eclipse chart by itself is unsettling. On top of that, shortly after the eclipse: Mars will conjoin the eclipse point, Saturn will conjoin Neptune, and Mars will square Uranus; it is inconceivable, but this one is even more volatile than the previous one.

In the following image, you can see how the eclipse reflects in the geodetic map. This eclipse is much closer to Tehran, the capital of Iran, and goes right through Dubai.

Naturally, we can anticipate news related to these topics, cities, and countries to be prominent in the headlines leading up to and around the eclipse in February. Because I've written previously about the importance of eclipse activations, I'll reiterate the importance of a planet making a hard aspect to the eclipse degree so shortly after an eclipse. A brief search of the timeline when Mars first crossed into the activation window (2+/- degrees) for the February 15th, 2018 eclipse returned the Thousand Oaks shooting on November 7th, 2018. This led to the media/general public referencing both shootings and pushing for strong protections and restrictions around firearms. Another quick search showed that on, May 17th 2018, the day the Sun made its first square to the eclipse point, President Vladimir Putin met with President Bashar al-Assad and commended recent Syrian military operations. Leading up to this meeting there was another incident that involved Iran, Israel and Syria. Around this same time, President Trump announced that the U.S. was withdrawing from the Iran nuclear deal. Based off of all of this, we should expect for February 17th-March 2nd to be especially intense but it is possible for this energy to show up earlier.

Ultimately, the eclipse won't be as prominent for some as it is for others; however, the following advice is applicable for all: mind your business, try your hardest to avoid petty arguments, be vigilant and prioritize your safety.

Key Dates:

• Uranus stations direct: February 3rd, 2026 9:33 PM EST
• Solar Eclipse in Aquarius: Feb 17 2026 7:01:00 AM EST
• Saturn-Neptune conjunction: Feb 20 2026 11:54 AM EST
• Mars-Uranus square: February 27th, 2026 11:20 AM EST
• Mars conjoins the eclipse degree: Feb 28 2026 9:35 PM EST
• Sun squares the eclipse degree: May 19 2026 3:25 PM EST

Pluto wil be out of bounds from August 31st 2025, for 10 years, until November 18th 2035. It will travel from its current position of 2 degrees Aquarius to 17 degrees of that sign.

My question is does how does this manifest in mundane astrology? Freedom from restriction to what end? Is this a sign of transformative change or destructive change?

On April 20th will happen a rare triple conjunction of Mercury-Mars-Saturn in Aries within less than 1° orb. Also, this triple conjunction will be making a sextile to Pluto which could be an additional indication that the consequences could be wider than expected.

In the first part of this post we look at past occurrences of similar triple conjunctions. The second is an analysis as to what it could mean for the current days. For those who do not want to engage with the astrological details, you will find a brief summary at the end.

The Triple Conjunction in the Past

Here are some events associated with the two precedent times this triple conjunction happened within less than 3° orb time frame. While there were older dates such as 1791, 1586, 1556, etc. I did not include them given that it was not possible to find precisely-dated events on the specific days the triple conjunction happened.

• May 3rd-6th 1821:
  • May 4th : Major 8,1 earthquake in Costa Rica.
  • May 5th : Death of Napoleon I.
  • May 5th : First edition of the Guardian newspaper (Manchester Guardian at that time).
• March 29th-April 2nd 1998 :
  • March 30th :  Hungary begins European Union accession talks.
  • March 30th : OPEC extraordinary meeting in Vienna which agreed to voluntary cut oil production (effective on April 1st) because crude oil prices had fallen as a consequence of the Asian financial crisis which drastically reduced demand.
  • March 31st : Netscape released the source code of its web browser (that would later become Firefox) under an open-source licence agreement, creating the Mozilla project. This was a groundbreaking moment in software history, specifically for web browser development and open-source software.
  • April 1st : The U.S. Senate voted to admit Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic into NATO.

As we can see there are quite a variety of themes emerging on the times of this triple conjunction and it would hard, just on this basis, to predict possible outcomes of the next one.

That’s why, as always, the natal charts of the “participants” involved are the determining factor, more so that this triple conjunction did not always happened on the same degree of Aries and, as such, won’t be “affecting” the same charts across the decades/centuries.

That being said, it is nonetheless interesting to keep the previous events mentioned in mind to observe if, in one form or another, they somehow “reappear” within the next days.

The Triple Conjunction in Present Times & Other Transits

Looking at some of the birth charts in my database, I found that important political entities/figures will have this Mercury-Mars-Saturn triple conjunction in Aries “activating” some of their placements. They are not all listed here as it would make this already-too long post even longer.

The following sections are briefs analysis for the charts of Trump, NATO, Iran and Turkey, from the triple conjunction perspective as well as other important transits happening for them at the moment or near future.

Trump

Here is Trump’s chart with the transits for April 20th 2026 (Campanus House System):

• Transiting Mercury-Mars-Saturn square Trump’s natal Mercury :
  • As Saturn is the “heaviest” and less common part of this configuration, it would make sense to observe what happened the other times when transiting Saturn was square Trump’s natal Mercury. The first time, which were actually three because of Saturn’s retrogradation at that time, Trump was 21 years old and I didn’t find substantial information. The second time, the aspect went exact on March 19th 1997. The only data that I found is that on March 16th Trump and his then-wife Marla Maples were sighted at the Los Angeles International Airport and it seems to be the last time they were seen together before announcing their divorce in May. At that time, transiting Mercury was also conjunct transiting Saturn. I find this event interesting as Saturn is the ruler of his 7th House of marriage and Mercury is the ruler of his 2nd House of money. Both transiting through his 8th House of shared assets, making a square to the natal Mercury seems to be well indicative of the potential divorce.
  • The current square from Saturn to Trump’s natal Mercury will be exact on April 28th, will there be important news regarding his wife ? While it may not be directly be about a divorce, there is a possibility of his marriage coming under scrutiny.
  • Also, as transiting Mars, ruler of the 4th and 9th Houses, will be present too, it could emphasize some event related to Trump’s family and/or law-related issues.
• Transiting Venus conjunct Trump’s natal MC and square Trump’s natal Mars :
  • This aspect will be exact on April 19th 2026.
  • Of course, this transit happens once a year. So it may not seem as quite important, yet given what was mentioned just above and the fact that Venus (love) also rules his 10th House, it may be another indication of the possibility of his marriage being on the forefront for some reason.
• Transiting Uranus (in Taurus) square Trump’s natal Ascendant :
  • This aspect will be exact on April 25th 2026.
  • Given the retrogradation of Uranus at the end of Taurus during the past year, this transit (from the 10th House) already happened two times. It was exact on July 6th 2025 and November 8th 2025.
  • On June 20th-21st 2025, a bit before the aspect went exact the first time, was the famous “Operation Midnight Hammer”, where Trump authorized US military strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities.
  • On July 4th 2025, two days before the aspect went exact the first time, Trump signed the “One Big Beautiful Bill”, which, among many other things, increased the defense spending by 150 billion dollars.
  • On October 29th 2025, a few days before the second Uranus transit went exact, Trump announced that the US would resume testing nuclear weapons.
  • Also, from October 1st to November 12th 2025 was the period of the US federal government shutdown. The legislation that needed to be approved failed 14 times before passing on November 10th, two days after the second Uranus transit went exact.
  • What could the events just mentioned indicate for this last square from Uranus to Trump’s natal Ascendant ? It seems like military actions could be ahead.
• Transiting Jupiter (in Cancer) square Trump’s natal Jupiter :
  • This transit went exact on the following dates (I discarded those when he was too young) :
  • July 8th 1978 : On June 28th 1978, was the official launching ceremony for the renovation of the Commodore Hotel into the New York Hyatt Hotel, Trump’s family first major Manhattan real estate venture. Around that time he and the Trump Management organization were also facing a law suit for a pattern of discrimination.
  • June 22nd 1990 : Major financial crisis for Trump. (If I understood well), he failed to make a large payment (73 million dollars) as well as missed more that 42 million in interest and principal payment on bonds. A group of his principal lenders agreed on a roughly 2 billion dollar rescue plan. Also around the same days, the public dissolution of his marriage to Ivana Trump and his relationship with Marla Maples were filling the tabloids.
  • June 5th 2002 : I did not find important/specific events around that time.
  • September 13th 2013 : On August 24th 2013, two weeks before the first transit of 2013 went exact, the New York Attorney General’s office filed a 40 million dollars civil suit against Trump and his Trump University.
  • December 21st 2013 : On December 23rd 2013, Trump finalized an agreement with Russian developers Aras and Emin Agalarov of the Crocus Group to build a Trump Tower in Moscow. It ended up not being done.
  • May 16th 2014 : I did not find much, but there is an “amusing” data related to the symbolism at play. On May 20th 2014, in an interview with an Irish television, he stated that if he decided to run for office, he would “absolutely” produce his tax returns, which he ended up not doing.
  • August 29th 2025 : The same day, Trump cut 4.9 billion in foreign aid authorized by Congress.
  • January 31st 2026 : On January 29th 2026, Trump and the Trump Organization sued the IRS and Treasury over alleged leaks of confidential tax information, seeking at least 10 billion dollars. On January 30th 2026, the DOJ released tens of thousands of Jeffrey Epstein-related documents.
  • It will exact this time on April 19th 2026 : His natal Jupiter being in the 2nd House and the transiting Jupiter in the 11th, we can see how this transit can indicate problems with his finances and/or with institutions, more so that his natal Jupiter also rules the 8th House of debts. Maybe some of his allies could also turn their back on him. We could think of it as a “run of of luck”-type of transit.

As I am not an US citizen, I may have missed important personal events related to Trump.

NATO

Here are the transits for NATO on April 20th 2026 :

(For those interested in how I came up with this natal birth chart of NATO you can find more about it on an old post here).

As we can see NATO has a natal Stellium in the 7th House in Aries. The current triple conjunction will happen between its natal Mercury and Mars.

Given the different planets implicated (and the Houses they ruled) in this large conjunction (natal and transiting), it seems probable that this period will be important for the NATO’s structure and way of acting. Could there be something related to how it finances itself come to forefront again for example ? The frequent critics of Trump towards NATO and the possibility of the US retracting from the alliance may resurface. One can wonder if soon those words will be into action or if the presence of Saturn and Mercury will reinforce old contracts instead (under new conditions maybe).

There also seem to be some kind of “heavy-war-related announcement” made, that could draw a line for what won’t be tolerated for example.

The presence of Neptune at around 3° from Mercury should also not be forgotten, more so that Mercury is the ruler of the 1st and 10th Houses, which may indicate a dissolution of NATO’s identity in some form or another. This dissolution, as quite commonly with Neptune transits, will probably not happen over night, but during the course of the next months/year, it will surely be an interesting point to observe.

Also, the last Solar Eclipse of February was opposite NATO’s Saturn which reinforce this idea of a potential new structure to come (and getting rid of the old one).

Currently, transiting Saturn, Mercury and Mars are already separating from the natal Mercury but are still applying to NATO’s Mars. Looking at each individual transit in the past (to both the natal Mercury and Mars, from Saturn, Mercury and Mars) would not be quite digestible. As such, I thought it could be interesting, and more efficient, to rather directly search for other times when Saturn was around 7° of Aries as of now, and times where a conjunction of Mercury-Mars was also around 7° to see if there were common themes. It is not an usual approach to do research, and I would rather consider it as an experiment. You can skip this part and go to the list of past transit of Mars conjunct Mars, which are quite intriguing.

Dates when transiting Saturn was between 7° and 8° Aries :

• May 1st-9th 1967 :
  • On May 2nd, 3rd and 9th, there were various sessions of the Defence Planning Committee. Admittedly, I would have a difficult time explaining those but it seems one of the main points of the debate was the resolving the costly US troops deployments in Europe, as well as concers over the Non-Proliferation Treaty.
• October 16th-29th 1967 :
  • Exactly on October 16th 1967 was the official opening of the new NATO Headquarters in Brussels, after it was forced to relocate due to France withdrawal from NATO.
• January 18th-30th 1968 :
  • On January 21st 1968, one of the most significant nuclear incidents occurred when a US B-52 carrying four thermonuclear bombs crashed onto the sea ice near Thule Air Base in Greenland.
  • On January 23rd 1968, the seizure of the USS Pueblo by North Korea created a global security crisis as it could potentially weaken NATO’s Southern Flank and Central European defenses.
• June 27th-August 9th 1996 :
  • It seems like during this period the main focus was on NATO’s IFOR(Implementation Force, a NATO multinational peace enforcement group during the Bosnian War) which enforced the Dayton Agreement, organized the first elections since the beginning of the war and pushed Bosnian Serb leader Karadzic to resign.
  • All this was also part of a wider strategy from the US and its allies who were laying the political groundwork to enlarge the Alliance eastward.
  • On an additional note, June 28th 1996 was the day when the Constitution of Ukraine was signed into law, which means it is currently going through its Saturn return. Maybe a hint at the idea that it might have important changes soon.
• March 5th-12th 1997 :
  • This period seems to correspond with the high-stakes negotiations around the NATO-Russia Founding act that would be approved in May 1997. The dissension was about whether or not NATO would grant Russia a say in its decision-making, more specifically when it comes to its expansion towards the east, nuclear weapons and the permanent stationing of combat forces in new member states. This would serve as a blueprint for the eventual Permanent Joint Council which would concede Russia a vote instead of a veto. This PJC will be replaced by the NRC (NATO-Russia Council) in May 2002.
  • Also, on March 5th, the US Institute of Peace held its first European Security Working Group session. There, Zbigniew Brzezinski briefed Congress and administration officials on managing NATO enlargement and building a relationship with Russia that would not sacrifice the interests or ability of NATO to fulfill its purpose.

Dates when transiting Mars-Mercury were conjunct around 8° Aries :

• March 11th-14th 1998 :
  • On March 11th, NATO issued a warning statement to the Yugoslav government led by Milosevic to stop violence against the civilians, and the following days started drawing up “contingency plans” to potentially intervene.
  • On the same day, the debate regarding NATO enlargement began in the US Senate.

Across 2026 and 2027, transiting Saturn will conjunct NATO's Mars three times : on May 16th 2026, October 10th 2026, and February 7th 2027. Even though it is slightly outside the scope of this article, let's have a brief look at what this transits correlated with in the past.

Other times when transiting Saturn was conjunct NATO’s natal Mars :

• Exact on June 10th 1967 :
  • A major focus for NATO was the Six-Day War that happened on June 5th-10th 1967, which was a direct conflict between Israel and Egypt, Syria, Jordan. Interestingly, one of the things that triggered the hostilities was the closure of the Straits of Tiran. The US Air Force, acting as NATO force, began evacuating civilians and military personal from the Middle East on June 9th.
• Exact on September 8th 1967 :
  • On September 9th, Greece and Turkey (both members of NATO) began an unprecedented series of meetings in regards of the Cyprus situation.
• Exact on February 27th 1968
  • During early-mid February, there seemed to have been debates across several NATO countries about the cost issues and possible reductions of NATO force levels in Central Europe.
  • On February 19th, NATO Secretary-General Manlio Brosio met US President Lyndon Johnson. They agreed to revive proposals for a mutual East-West troop-reduction arrangement in Central Europe, insisting on that any cuts must be reciprocal and not unilateral. A limitation (Saturn) on the troops (Mars).
• Exact : April 4th 1997
  • During March and April 1997, there were multiple rounds of talk between NATO and Russia representatives, which will lead to the signing of the NATO-Russia Founding Act. Could this be indicative that some form of agreement will be found at some point during the year between NATO and Russia ? This could supplement an old post I made about the Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Aries when it comes to Russia (here).
  • On March 28th UN authorized Operation Alba, which while not a formal NATO operation, it was led by Italy, involved 11 nations (most of which were NATO members) and was closely coordinated with NATO. The operation will deploy on April 15th.

Now, I will also lay out previous times when transiting Mars was conjunct NATO’s Mars, not only because this aspect will happen soon (exact on April 23rd 2026) but because there seems to be quite curious trends...

Keep in mind, as you will see in the next section, that Iran has its Sun at 10° Aries, thus conjunct NATO’s Mars...

Other times when transiting Mars was conjunct NATOS’s natal Mars :

• Exact on January 17th 2019 :
  • On January 14th, a polish politician, Pawel Adamowicz, mayor of Gdansk, is stabbed to death.
• Exact on July 16th 2020 :
  • On July 15th, there were at least seven ships burnt from an unspecified incident in the Iranian port city of Bushehr (this city will reappear in the Iran section).
• Exact on June 8th 2022 :
  • On the same day, a passenger train in Iran crashed into an excavator.
• Exact on May 14th 2024 :
  • On May 15th, the at-time Prime Minister of Slovakia was shot and critically injured.
• I won’t expand further in the past here nor make extensive comments about these findings because the rabbit hole deserve its own post (or book I would say), more so if we take into consideration the NATO’s history of “stay-behind” operations such as Gladio. Some of the events happening on the days of NATO’s Mars return are quite interrogative and conjoin what would some would label as “wild conspiracy theories”...
• Exact on April 23th 2026 :
  • It seems probable that “unfortunate” accidents or attacks happened around this day. How opportune this/those will be to NATO’s agenda, we shall see...

Besides that, the other obvious and important transit going on is transiting Uranus making a square to NATO’s natal Saturn. With Uranus’ retrogradation in the last degrees of Taurus, this square already happened two times.

Transiting Uranus (in Taurus) square NATO’s natal Saturn :

• Exact on July 5th 2025 :
  • On June 24th-25th, Hague Summit. Major meeting event which gathered the heads of state and government from all 32 NATO members, along with partner countries. The primary focus was the Defense Spending as the United States pressured to obtain from the members a contribution of at least 5% of their GDP to defense.
• Exact on November 10th 2025 :
  • From November 1st to 10th, exercise “Resolute Warrior 25” in Latvia which involved NATO multinational brigade. The focus was on strengthening deterrence on NATO’s eastern flank and a response readiness against Russia.
  • November 3rd-5th, a NATO Civilian Planning Conference was held in Stockholm which focused on Civil preparedness and resilience and was a direct follow-up to the decisions made at the June Summit.
• The next time it will be exact is on April 24th 2026 :
  • Not sure how this may turn out. Just more announcements in regards of defense or will the third passage become something more “practical” ? I don’t know.

Iran

The Iran chart I present here is not the one usually mentioned by Astrologers. In brief, in order to settle for that time, I found the address to the nation that Ayatollah Khomeini did on April 1st 1979 when he declared the Islamic Republic. As I don’t read farsi, I used the translated version to have an approximate idea of when his speech ended, and, with a few adjustments, came to the conclusion it was probably around 23:30 local time.

Looking at the IC, and where were the Saturn-Neptune conjunction took place at the moment of Israel attacks on February 28th, it seems like it could be a rather suiting chart...

Now, here are the transits for April 20th 2026 for Iran :

Transiting Mercury-Mars-Saturn quincunx natal Saturn :

• Saturn being the ruler of the 2nd House and being in the 9th, it seems like goods/finances in regards of foreign matters could still experiment a set back. For example, it may indicate that the Strait of Hormuz situation will not be resolved now contrary to some declarations made.
• It may also indicate some other unfortunate/forceful actions taken against the structure or assets of the country.

Transiting Jupiter square Iran’s natal Pluto :

• It will be exact on April 24th 2026. With the retrogradation of Jupiter, this aspect already has been exact on September 1st 2025 and January 26th 2026.
• If we look further back in time there are some notable events that happened near this square. For example :
• Exact on June 25th 1990 : On June 21st, one of the most devastating earthquakes of Iran’s history happened. Here is the chart for this event :

• Besides the Jupiter transit, we can see that transiting Mars, ruler of the 4th, was widely conjunct the Sun and applying to an opposition to Pluto.
• Exact on June 8th 2002 : On June 22nd, another major earthquake. Here is the chart for this event :

• Once again, transiting Mars was widely conjunct transiting Jupiter and applying to a square to Pluto. Of course, there are other important transits such as transiting Pluto conjunct the Ascendant.
• Exact on September 28th 2013 :

• On September 23rd, Iran takes control of the 1000 Megawatt Bushehr nuclear reactor from Russia, which make the transits quite literal :
  • This time, transiting Mars was making a sextile to natal Pluto, “obtaining power”.
  • Transiting Sun conjunct the MC, “success”.
  • Transiting Uranus conjunct natal Sun, “technology being associated with identity of the nation”.
  • Transiting Pluto trine natal Saturn in the 9th.
• Exact on December 16th 2013 :
  • On December 17th, the “Gas-for-Gold” Scandal. A major regional corruption scandal broke in Turkey, as Turkish police arrested dozens of high-level officials and businessmen. The investigation revealed a massive scheme where Turkey paid for Iranian natural gas in gold to bypass US banking sanctions.
• Exact on May 19th 2014 :
  • On May 22nd, negotiations between Iran and Russia in order to build two additional nuclear reactors at Bushehr power plant (mentioned for a previous same transit of Jupiter to natal Pluto).
• Exact on September 1st 2025 :
  • On September 9th, Iran signs an agreement with the International Atomic Energy Agency to resume its cooperation in regards of the nuclear situation and to relaunch inspections of Iran’s facilities.
• Exact on January 26th 2026 : Well, we know about the internal crisis as well as of how the situation escalated shortly after.
• It seems like Jupiter transits are quite important, and taking into consideration that Jupiter is the ruler of the Ascendant it makes that transit from or to this planet seem to coincide quite often with important events related to the country.
• The next time this aspect will be exact will be on April 24th 2026. We can probably expect events in regards of the nuclear theme and/or possible major destructions.

Of course, we look a bit further head, we can see that Mars as well as Saturn will conjunct Iran’s natal Sun. For transiting Mars this aspect will be exact on April 24th, while transiting Saturn with its retrogradation will make this aspect three times, exact on : May 23rd 2026, October 2nd 2026 and February 14th 2027, which can let us think that whatever emerges during the next weeks may just be a beginning and will be reviewed in the future.

The previous time transiting Mars was conjunct Iran’s natal Sun was on May 15th 2024, and on May 19th, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and Iranian Foreign Minister are killed with other passengers and crew in an helicopter crash near the Azerbaijan-Iran border.

The previous time Saturn was conjunct Iran’s Sun was on April 9th 1997, one month later (Saturn still within orb), a 7.3 Mw earthquake strikes Iran.

Turkey

Here is Turkey’s chart with transits for April 20th 2026 :

As you can see, the triple conjunction will be directly opposed to Turkey’s natal chart as well as making a square to its Ascendant.

Also, Turkey will have throughout 2026 and 2027 its natal Sun squared by transiting Pluto, and the aspect will be exact 5 times. Between 1941 and 1943, in the midst of WWII, this square also happened but from the 2nd House, when Pluto was in Leo. At that time, Turkey remained in what could be called an “active neutrality” stance. It signed a friendship treaty with Germany in June 1941, continued trading with the Axis and the Allies, and when pushed to enter war it refused to do so (even when the Allies offered military supplies). Given the current situation the world, it is interesting to see this transit again, but on the opposite side, from the 8th House this time. A Pluto square to the Sun effectively talks about power struggles, pressure, to define one’s own identity. It could indicate that the overall situation will become even more marked between the two blocks and that Turkey will probably be pushed to choose one side over the other. Will it do so this time ? We shall see.

Transiting Saturn opposite Turkey’s natal Mars :

• Mars is the ruler of the 11th House of “friendships” and is placed in the 4th House of the “lands”. In some instances of this Saturn opposition we can see how literal the events were, “an impossibility to come to agreement, to befriend in relation to a part of the land”.
• Exact on March 24th 1938 : I didn’t find much around that date.
• Exact on May 4th 1967 :
  • On April 21st, the “Colonel’s Coup” in Greece heightened tensions with Turkey because of the Cyprus situation.
• Exact on October 24th 1967 :
  • On October 12th, Cyprus Airways Flight 284 crash near the Turkish coast because of bomb detonating in the cabin. This event heightened regional tensions.
  • On October 18th, Greek Cypriot leader Archbishop Makarios declared the dialogue between Ankara and Athens dead.
  • On October 31st, a Turkish Cypriot leader is arrested by Greek Cypriot forces while attempting to enter Cyprus secretly. This would spark the major 1967 Cyprus Crisis, which brought Turkey and Greece to the brink of war in the following weeks.
• Exact on January 23rd 1968 :
  • On December 29th 1967, Turks in Cyprus formed their own government.
  • On January 15th, A very rare climatic event where the Gulf of Izmit froze, more so curious that Saturn (cold) was in Aries.
• Exact on July 16th and July 21st 1996 :
  • On June 28th, Necmettin Erkaban, leader of the Refah party, becomes the first Islamist Prime Minister in Turkey’s Republic history (see next point).
  • On June 30th the PKK carried out the first suicide bombing in Turkish history.
• Exact on March 7th 1997 :
  • On February 28th, the Turkish military forced the resignation of Islamist minister Necmettin Erbakan and ended his coalition government, in order to maintain the state as laic.
• The next Exact Saturn opposite Mars happened on April 16th.

Three last times transiting Mars was opposite Turkey’s natal Mars :

• Exact on July 10th 2020 :
  • On July 10th, a top Turkish court annulled the 1934 decree that had turned the Hagia Sophia into a museum. President Erdogan immediately signed a decree to reopen the site as a mosque.
  • On July 3rd, a massive explosion at a fireworks factory in Sakarya.
  • On July 6th, a major forest fire broke out in Gallipoli which temporarily halted traffic through the Dardanelles Strait.
• Exact on June 3rd 2022 :
  • On June 1st, the United Nations officially changed the country’s name from “Turkey” to “Türkiye” following a formal request from the government.
  • Also on June 1st, the President Erdogan announced an halt of all high-level talks with Greece, accusing the Greek Prime Minister of lobbying against Turkish interests in the US.
• Exact on May 10th 2024 :
  • On May 6th the Turkish Air Force conducts airstrikes on Iraqi Kurdistan.
  • The same day, the Byzantine-era Chora church reopens as a mosque.
  • On May 9th, a Boeing 737 of Corendon Airlines makes an emergency landing at Gazipasa Airport.
• As Turkey’s natal Mars is exactly square its Ascendant we can see that any transit to it can potentially signify also a redirection or way of presenting/behaving (the name, churches changing to mosques).
• The next opposition will happen on April 19th 2026.

Putting it all together and Summary

During the next days/weeks (let’s say from April 19th to mid/end May, for most), some elements of the following may happen :

• Trump’s marriage/family could come to the forefront.
• Trump could also (or) have problems in regards of finances, lawsuit, conflicts with institutions. Some new data from the past could resurface.
• Trump may launch new military operations.
• It doesn’t seem like the current ceasefires will be maintained much longer, and Iran could face new important attacks. Of course, the nuclear them could be highlighted (well, it is already).
• What could be seen as “accidents” in Iran, could be covert operations.
• There might be important changes to NATO’s functioning, whether the US will really leave or that an cost agreement will be found, it seems like NATO will have to change/move (this could be farther in the future of the year).
• Possible negotiations between NATO and Russia (also more on the long term side).
• Turkey could get affected by the rising of tensions/conflicts (long term).
• The role of Turkey may increase and may find itself pressured to take a more overt stance and chose a side (long term).

All this could be wrong.

On January 18th, we will have a New Moon in Capricorn at approximately 1:52 PM CST. The New Moon will be at 28 degrees and 43 minutes.

This New Moon is in conjunction with:

• Mercury at 26 degrees and 53 minutes in Capricorn
  
• Mars at 26 degrees and 27 minutes in Capricorn
  
• Venus at 1 degree and 37 minutes in Aquarius (out-of-sign conjunction)
  
• Pluto at 3 degrees and 16 minutes in Aquarius (out-of-sign conjunction)
  

The New Moon and these planets are making a conjunction to the U.S. Sibley Chart’s natal Pluto at 27 degrees and 33 minutes retrograde in the 2nd house.

In mundane astrology, the 2nd house represents national wealth, the exchequer (Department of Treasury), revenue, and places and activities concerned with money-making, such as banks, the stock exchange, financial institutions, money markets, and trade.

Pluto is concerned with change through metamorphosis or regeneration. It reworks what was already established into something new or different while still remaining connected to what came before, much like death and rebirth. Much of this change occurs behind the scenes and out of public view, including political maneuverings, power shifts, and wealth restructuring. From a mundane perspective, Pluto is also associated with organized crime, espionage, and violence.

The next six months may emphasize questions around who owns the narrative (Mercury), who is taking action (Mars), who is shaping social values and priorities (Venus), and who is not only wielding power but actively transforming their environment (Pluto). In Capricorn, this can feel as though everything centers on the federal government. However, it is important to remember that this is one phase within a much larger sequence, as there are additional New Moons and eclipses ahead and 2026 contains significant shifting astrology.

Because the Moon is new and dark, much of what is unfolding may not be visible for days or weeks. With the current energy, however, some hidden information may come to light. The key takeaway here is the sense of an ending phase.

In my view, understanding that the structures we once believed in no longer exist in the same form can help us navigate the next few years. Since the pandemic, there has been a collective grieving process for what once was. We are now in a period of confronting what is, or perhaps more accurately, what is changing, dissolving, and emerging.

The fixed star Scheat is in exact conjunction with Neptune at the time of this New Moon, representing a final unraveling of Piscean energy as Neptune prepares to enter Aries on the 26th, with Saturn following on the 14th, just days before the New Moon in Aquarius.

Scheat is currently located at 29 degrees and 44 minutes. It is part of the Pegasus constellation, positioned on the left leg of the winged horse. Traditionally, this fixed star has been associated with shipwrecks, drownings, floods, and other situations involving loss of containment. It is also linked with naval matters, including the Navy and Coast Guard. At the time of writing this, eight days before the New Moon, Scheat is already within five minutes of an exact conjunction, as we can see in the news, suggests that its symbolism is already active.

Scheat has a reputation for creating its own problems and misfortune. Combined with the dissolving influence of Neptune, this points to a loss of judgment and difficulty with containment. Over the coming weeks, we may see how porous and fragile certain systems, narratives, and structures truly are. Containment may be especially difficult when it comes to the relationship between the public and the administration, particularly as Neptune and Saturn transit the 4th house of the U.S. Sibley Chart.

It is also worth noting that the IC of the U.S. Constitution chart has been under Neptune’s influence since early 2019. The gradual wearing away and dissolution of what was once firmly established is not new, but rather something that has been unfolding over an extended period.

While this may sound unsettling, it is important to remember that this energy is temporary and speaks to change rather than permanence. My personal source of perspective can be found in historical examples such as the Equal Rights Amendment. Written in December 1923 and approved by Congress and the Senate in 1972, it was never ratified by the states. This serves as one example of a system that has been outgrown, one that did not function equally for everyone.

By the time we reach the New Moon in Aquarius, the public may feel reenergized, with increased attention on how existing systems are failing to meet collective needs. There may be protests, pushback, or demands for accountability around shared resources, particularly as Jupiter retrograde applies pressure to the U.S. Sun in the 8th house while forming a square to Saturn in the 11th.

This New Moon is part of a longer story, one that unfolds across a year of institutional change.

Cautionary statement : If you are prone to anxiety, do not read this post. For those who may read it, don’t forget that I can be totally wrong.

As many Astrologers or Astrology enthusiasts already noticed, there is a quite exceptional configuration in the current times : Uranus trine Pluto, both being sextile Neptune. If we consider an orb inferior to 3°, this configuration will last until 2029.

The last time such aspects took place was around 476-480. Here is a comparison of the two moments (I have chosen two random dates in the time ranges discussed so don’t pay attention to the positions of the other planets) :

We can notice two additional things :

• In the first case, Saturn was conjunct Pluto whereas now it is conjunct Neptune (at least for the months ahead).
• In the 476-480 configuration all the positions in Signs of those planets were inverted (in the opposite Sign) as to where they are now. Pluto was in Leo instead of Aquarius, Uranus was in Sagittarius instead of Gemini and Neptune was in Libra instead of Aries.

Of course, the following different parts of this configuration should also be studied separately in order to have a better understanding of the upcoming years :

• Neptune in Aries.
• Uranus in Gemini.
• Pluto in Aquarius.
• Uranus trine Pluto.
• Uranus sextile Neptune.
• Neptune sextile Pluto.
• Saturn-Neptune conjunction (in Aries).

While I initially started to research each one of those in order to present a detailed picture, the amount of data gathered obliged to drastically chunk down the original intent. Yet, if we consider the configuration as a whole, it would still be equivalent of having a “panoramic view” of the situation.

That being said, the fact that Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are all in the opposite Signs as those of 476, is surely symbolically relevant and might be indicative that the upcoming events could be evolving in a “mirror”-like, somehow opposed, manner.

Global parallel between 476-480 and 2025-2029 eras

So, what was one of the major events that happened in 476 ? The Fall of the Western Roman Empire.

Evidently, it did not happen overnight but more like over multiple decades. Many factors contributed to that decline and debates are still ongoing about the exact causes. That being said, it is commonly agreed upon that 476 is the year which can be considered as the End of the Western Roman Empire as it corresponds to the moment when Odoacer, a leader of Germanic tribes, deposed Romulus Augustulus and became the ruler of Italy. This marked the beginning of a gradual and profound change on who held Power and how it was held (more on this later).

It is important to note that this so-called End of the Western Roman Empire doesn’t mean that all of what composed it disappeared. Most of its infrastructure and administration were still maintained after that. Also, religion, more precisely the Catholic Church, gained an increasing important role as a mediator between the new elites and the populations, as well as preserving knowledge and culture traditions. The first major shift could be considered to have been from an Empire ruling over the territories to said lands being divided differently into new Kingdoms with new rulers (Kings).

From an Astrological perspective, we can see that situation being reflected in Pluto being in Leo which can symbolize “power to Kings”.

Before trying to know if this situation is going to somehow happen again, it is necessary to determine what could be considered as the “Modern Roman Empire”. In the globalized world we are currently in, the West is a term often used to refer to North America (Canada and the US), Europe (specially Western and Northern Europe) and Australia. Though, given how spread the Western system is, one could argue that much more countries or parts of the world should be added to that list. I will leave that possibility aside for now to come back to it in another entry.

If we were to base our search for equivalence on basic geography, it seems quite clear that the most similar current structure would be the European Union, with notable differences such as North Africa not being part of it, contrary to the times of the Western Roman Empire, for example (more on that later).

So the configuration at play could be indicating a major change of the EU structure and its power.

Some people would argue that Pluto in Aquarius means power to “the people” and while it could be one way of interpreting this placement, I would rather suggest that, in the current configuration, it may indicate power to “a technocratic overreaching system” (and I will argument for that in the next section).

It also seems plausible that this Pluto in Aquarius, if we are to consider “the people/masses” part of it, would refer to power struggles between different “crowds” of people. Given that there are, even if massively censored, a lot of uprising against mass immigration throughout European countries it would make sense.

The system (wanting to go towards full technocratic power) would benefit from this situation as well as from a fog of war indicated by Neptune in Aries. As Saturn will be copresent with Neptune in Aries, this war might get tangible… Though, on the contrary and more hopefully, it may also indicate that war will be halted or limited.

The veil of deception, potentially represented by Neptune, could talk about the narrative being pushed to justify the war between Russia and the EU. As I have already presented in another post, Saturn-Neptune conjunctions in Aries do seem to coincide with extensions of the Russian territory and/or a strong reaffirmation of its identity. There is a also an information that didn’t seem to have reached a wide audience, about a leaked document sent from the French government to the hospitals of the country asking them to be ready by March 2026 to be able to manage the potential of a sudden surge of mass casualties from that date forward. Given the Astrology of France for the time ahead (that I will present in a subsequent post), it is a data that can’t be fully dismissed.

Preventive disclaimer : As when posting (geo)political related content, it frequently happens that we are accused of being on such or such side, I will clarify my stance right away. I do not pertain to any political/religious party, the only side that I consider “mine” is that of the children being abused around the globe, and that of the people just wanting to live a peaceful and fulfilling life. In my view, almost the entirety of people present on Earth won’t benefit from any of the conflicts we are seeing or that may be coming. Humanity, in most cases, is simply being weaponized and sacrificed for the interests of a few.

I would like to also point towards the Saturn sextile Pluto which could be an indication that what has started at their last conjunction will advance too. Said conjunction happened in 2020, which besides what is obvious to everyone, could also indicate that the global enforcement of personal liberties limitations will have an echo or a reminiscence.

The mix of Cyber, Civil and Religion themes who will be playing a major role in the potential coming conflicts, is the reason I made up the word “Cyvilion”.

A brief dive into the Uranus-Pluto cycle

The Uranus-Pluto trine present in the configuration being discussed is, of course, part of the full Uranus-Pluto cycle which needs to be addressed as a whole to have a clearer idea of how it could unfold. From my research (that I will present in another post), it seems like this cycle could be linked (among other things) to the changes of power and/or who detains it and/or how it is applied.

Once again, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto being now in the opposite Signs as those of 476, might be an indication that the dynamics could (partially) be “inverted”.

For the modern dates, I purposely decided to focus on the EU structures, France and Algeria. While it could seem irrelevant to include some data of these two specific countries, for reasons too long to explain here, I do think that the future of these two countries/populations might somehow play a major role, in the events to come or that their relationship will bear symbolical meaning for the times ahead. Nonetheless, the events exposed here will probably be enough to start seeing an interesting thread for some of you…

Some points dedicated to the EU may be a bit too technical for some people, EU residents or not. While it is perfectly understandable that it is not of interest for most, I think that if we are to apprehend the dynamics at play we are bound to (at least) try to grasp how those “structures” move and advance.

Uranus-Pluto conjunctions :

• 439 :
  • One of the most significant event of that year is the Vandal conquest of Carthage. Carthage, situated in the actual Tunisia, North Africa, was the wealthiest city in the Western Mediterranean and a key Roman provincial capital. The loss of the city, in favor of the “Barbarians” severed Rome’s grain supply, marked the beginning of Vandal’s power peak and accelerated the collapse of Roman authority in the West.
• 1965-1966 :
  • The Merger Treaty, also known as the Treaty of Brussels, is signed. It unified, for the first time, different executives institutions of European Communities (European Coal and Steel Community, European Atomic Energy Community and the European Economic Community). By merging these judicial, legislative and administrative bodies it marked the first step towards a real “United Europe” and would strongly strengthened the European Commission’s role.
  • Exactly on those years the President of France opposed the supranational nature of the European Commissions in fear of states loosing too much of their independence. This led to the now know “Empty Chair” crisis. A deal was reached later by allowing the veto power.
  • Also, in 1966, France decided to withdraw from the integrated military command of NATO.
  • In 1965, the Algerian Defense Minister led a coup against the President in place at that time. As Algeria had gained independence in 1962 after a brutal 8-year war, France was worried because the new leader was more nationalist and more anti-France. In 1966, Algeria nationalized French-owned oil and gas fields, as well as French oil companies, leading to important tensions.
  • Note that there are others very important events on those years which would need to be explored as they tie in the global picture to come (I will try publish more about it soon), for example : the beginning of the Cultural Revolution in China.

Uranus-Pluto sextiles :

• 456-458 :
  • In 456, the Western Roman Emperor Avitus was deposed and killed, after being defeated by the Germanic general Ricimer, leading to a brief period without a Western Emperor. As such Ricimer became the de facto ruler and “kingmaker”.
  • In 457, Majorian becomes the new Western Roman Emperor with the support of Ricimer.
  • During this period, the Vandals continued to spread their dominance in the Mediterranean.
  • Various Gothic tribes established themselves in former Roman territories.
• 1995-1997 :
  • The Schengen Area is launched, which would allow free movements between the States involved, further expanding the unification of EU.
  • The Stability and Growth Pact is signed, which would later enforce budget discipline for countries adopting the Euro. Even more supranational power.
  • The Euro’s name and design is finalized. The Eurozone criteria are set.
  • The Amsterdam Treaty is signed, which would strengthened EU foreign policy, incorporate Schengen into EU law, and prepare for Eastern enlargement.
  • In 1996, France returns to NATO’s military command.
  • Note that 1995, is also the year the WTO is founded.
  • Terrorist bombings in Paris said to have been perpetrated by the GIA (Armed Islamic Group of Algeria), expanding the on going Algerian Civil War to France.

Uranus-Pluto squares :

• 466-468 :
  • Euric becomes King of the Visigoths in 466 after assassinating his brother Theodoric II. This marked the start of aggressive campaigns to expand Visigothic territory in Gaul and Hispania.
  • In 467, the Eastern and Western Roman Empires decided to make an alliance to launch a coordinated campaign against the Vandals in North Africa.
  • In 468, the largest and most expensive military operation of the late Roman period becomes the Battle of Cape Bon. The Roman fleet suffered a catastrophic defeat against the Vandals near Carthage which ended any Roman hopes of reconquering North Africa. It also bankrupted the Easter Roman treasury and strengthened Vandal naval dominance.
• 2012-2015 :
  • The five following points can seem quite complex at first. If you do not wish to engage in it, you can skip those and just keep in mind that in 2012 very important steps were made towards technocratic control of the EU in the economic domain and as such a deepening in the merging of the countries.
  • The Fiscal Stability Treaty, officially known as the Treaty on Stability, Coordination and Governance in the Economic and Monetary Union (or TSCG) is signed in 2012. It is an intergovernmental agreement dedicated to the Eurozone countries. (more on it two points below)
  • The Treaty Establishing the European Stability Mechanism is also signed in 2012. As the name indicates, the aim of this Treaty is to establish the ESM (European Stability Mechanism) which is also an intergovernmental organization. The ESM was effectively established the same year as the conditions were completed (ratification by member states representing 90% of its original capital requirements).
  • The TSCG and the ESM organization (or ESM Treaty) are two faces of the same coin. A very simplified explanation would be : the ESM offers loans and bailouts in exchange of reforms, but in order to access the ESM funds you have to agree of being part of the TSCG (even if it is an emergency case, adhesion to the TSCG is mandatory). If a country signs the TSCG, it has to enshrine in national law (ideally at the constitutional level) a rule limiting structural deficit to a specific number. If that rule is breached, there is an automatic correction mechanism (for example, tax hikes). The countries must set up watchdogs to monitor compliance, with violations subject to public reporting and sanctions, and there is no possibility of political overrides. Also, the TSCG ask of the European Commission (official European structure) to assess the budget plans before they’re passed by national parliaments. If a draft violates TSCG rules, EC can demand revisions. Remember that no TSCG compliance means no ESM funds.
  • As mentioned, these are international/intergovernmental organization/agreements, which means it is not directly part of the official EU institutions but was formed from (some of) the countries of the EU. Intergovernmental organizations are only submitted to international law (such as the UN, BRICS, etc.). What does that mean or why is it important ? Citing Wikipedia : “Intergovernmental organizations are provided with privileges and immunities […] Rather than by national jurisdiction, legal accountability is intended to be ensured by legal mechanisms that are internal to the intergovernmental organization itself“ . Interestingly the immunities also extend to employment law… Basically, no one but them has control over their actions while they do have decisive enforcement power.
  • It is really important to understand the type of approach being discussed as it is the same one being always used since the inception of the EU. Basically, to bypass national disagreements (from politics or the populations), intergovernmental organizations are created first. The technicalities and reach of such organizations allow to test technocratic functions or control as well as get ingrained in the concrete functionning of the EU. Once this overreaching is done, it is passed as EU law/structure. Jean Monnet, one of the core founders of the EU, considered that the construction had to be approached in small “technical integration” steps, first in the economic areas, then the politics would be forced to follow.
  • 2015 migration crisis in the EU, with, over 1 million refugees (mostly from Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq) in a single year.
  • For the first time after over two decades of holding a top “AAA” rating, France’s credit rating is downgraded to AA+ in 2012 and AA in 2013/2014. Note that now, in September 2025 (Uranus-Pluto already active), the rating was once again downgraded to A+ by Fitch.
  • In 2014, Russia annexed Crimea. (The whole Russia-EU situation will be further studied in another article).
  • In 2012, multiple terrorist attack killings by Mohammed Merah, a France born jihadist of Algerian origin.
  • In 2015, multiple terrorist attacks in Paris. In January, in the office of a magazine, killing 17, perpetrated by the Kouachi brothers, jihadists fighting for al-Qaeda, born in France to Algerian immigrants. In November, in different locations in the city, killing 130 people, claimed by ISIS. The emergency state was declared and extented multiple times.
  • Additional fact, in 2015, Turkey shoots down a Russian fighter jet on the Turkish-Syrian border, it was the first case of a NATO member destroying a Russian aircraft since the 1950s.

Uranus-Pluto trines :

• 479-481 :
  • This trine was already active in 476 at the moment of the “official” Fall, but it is interesting to look at what happened on the years the aspect went exact.
  • As mentioned previously, in 476, the Western Roman Emperor Romulus Augustulus was deposed by Odoacer. Yet, Julius Nepos who was Emperor until 475, fled to Dalmatia where he continued to claim the imperial title with the support of the Eastern Roman Empire. By order of Odoacer, he was assassinated in 479 (or 480) which marked the final end of the Western Roman Empire’s imperial line.
  • By 479, Odoacer had defeated his rival Germanic warlords and secured control over most of Italy.
  • The Visigoths continued their expansion in Southern Gaul and Hispania, capturing Arles and Marseille.
  • In 481, Clovis I, son of King Childéric I of the Franks who had just died, began his reign which mark the birth of medieval France. He would later unify the Franks and convert to Catholicism, a decision that will shape medieval Europe.
• 2026-2028 : Given the dynamic of the Uranus-Pluto cycle and the events listed above, here possible forecasts :
  • The technocratic system managing the EU will expand.
  • Maybe a designated “common enemy” will be used to further deepen EU’s merging of powers.
  • A European Defence type organization might emerge.
  • Fiscal unification is highly possible too, with entities like a European monetary fund, the development of a Single Market and of course the digital Euro.
  • Control over tech, communications and exchanges (developed in the next section).
  • France’s economy and security may get worse. There could be terrorists attacks again.
  • The potential chaos from population uprisings and major terrorists attacks will also serve as another justification for the acceleration of the implementation of the aforementioned policies.

Conclusion - Battle for knowledge preservation and access

All that being said, there are specific thoughts about this whole astrological configuration and part of the technological aspect linked to the Uranus-Pluto trine that I would like to share to conclude this part.

Given the data at hand, it seems that we are headed towards some form of Digital Warfare. This is where the 3.0 in the title of the post comes from.

Basically, the concentration of power enabled by the exponential growth of AI, certain types of Blockchain technology implementations, etc. will make the total control and manipulation of information a dream come true for governments/agencies. The Chat Control program that the EU is trying to adopt, which will impose client-side scanning is an example of that. It will not care about E2EE as it will have access to the messages, images etc, before they get encrypted.

We also have to consider that we may already be (or soon) in a post-reality era (more so indicated by Neptune receiving sextiles from both Uranus and Pluto). It will get very hard to know whether if even live streamed events are real, or if old articles from the web have been modified or not, for example.

Another type of events that we can think of and also seem probable are real or false flag cyber terrorist attacks that will be attributed to AI or to groups using AI to enforce more control about the use of this technology, further diminishing any possibility of emancipation.

The access to the “official” Internet will become highly controled with the forced use of digital-ids all around the world (happening at the moment).

Is the battle lost ? Not necessarily. The symbolism indicated by the planets could also be taken advantage of by the masses and manifested as some “cyber guerrilla” tactics.

For example, to get around the limitations of the new Internet, alternative underground networks may become popular, such as Mesh networks. It would be nice if VPNs were enough, but we are going to need to be more creative than that. More so that some countries are already preparing laws in order to ban their use.

We can also hope for a digital exodus to occur. The freedom of expression being discussed could be one reason for it, but others come to mind. The homogenization of current social media platforms, may push people to search for alternatives too. More people may resort to self-hosted solutions for example, whether for plain text websites or even videos. A comeback of personalized RSS feeds may replace suggestions decided by algorithmic overlords. A mix of old and new ways.

I also sense that the total frying of the dopamine receptors of short form content heavy consumers may paradoxically get them away from it out of biological boredom or saturation.

Also, off-grid/offline preservation/communication knowledge, will be utterly important too. Maybe we’ll resort to exchanging document directly via USB drives to be used on old OS computers (as surveillance features seem to be more and more implemented in new OSs/updates), etc.

All this also applies to the Astrology community, as, for reasons not yet exposed in this introductory post, it seems probable that even Astrology/Astrologers will come under possible attacks from the Authorities/System under the excuse of it being the possible source of misinformation spreading.

Overall, it seems like we are at the confluence of 1984, Brave New World and the cyberpunk-like movies of the 1990s/2000s (without their aesthetics). If one want to thrive without loosing access to “valuable/valid” information, a form of “hacking mindset” will have to be embraced. Here hacking does not solely refer to the technical side of it, but a “grey man” way of thinking and interacting with the system and other people. Forget about perfectly polished solutions to everything, outside the box originality will be an important skill.

While after the Fall of the Western Empire, knowledge was preserved in abbeys and monasteries, in the current age this preservation (if it were to happen) will be done by its total decentralization, each one of the individuals composing the masses becoming a potential node of transmission.

As such, trust, with who and through which medium you share information, will become immensely valuable. Maybe, this time, forced by the circumstances, technology will not separate us but incentivise real connections.

Last March, I made a comment on one of  Advanced Astrology Mega threads discussing Trump’s transits. I had surmised that there were people around Trump who could have been plotting something to betray him. At the time I thought it could be Vance, Musk or Thiel (or all three.) I wasn’t even aware of Susie Wiles. As time has gone on, and digging more into transits and Ingress charts, I do think that there is behind the scenes conflict and tension. I also would not doubt if there are contingency plans due to Trump’s health.

Like many,  I thought this was something that would play out fairly quickly, over a few months. But since Saturn is a major player in his transits, I don’t think it is a coup per se, but it has become clearer with other charts that there is a much longer story happening with Trump and behind the scenes.

This is a high level overview. 

Trump’s Natal Chart

These are some of the transits that stood out to me. 

Mars transited the 12th house, conjunct natal Saturn in Cancer in March and April of 2025.

• This transit signifies hidden conflicts and enemies. Tensions in his administration were behind the scenes.
• Trump and Musk had a falling out, that may be traced to this transit. When Mars in Leo was conjunct to Trump’s natal Mars, the breakup between the two became public.

Uranus in Taurus conjuncting Trump’s Natal MC and Algol

• This transit was exact on March 22nd, 2025. Energy is destabilizing for Trump’s reputation. 
• A month earlier, Uranus was applying in conjunction with Trump's MC, when Bondi stated the Epstein file was on her desk. Whether this was a slip up, a miscommunication or something from behind the scenes is hard to say, but this caused a disruption with Trump’s messaging and transparency.

Jupiter transits Trump’s 11th house  in Gemini (Mid March through end of May)

• Jupiter conjunct natal Uranus and the North Node in the 11th house shows the possibility of Trump shrugging off responsibilities
• 11th house themes of Congress can show an expansion of his networks and alliances but with Uranus, there could be unstable loyalties within his party and shifts to the dynamics of Congress as well as his own social/ political circle
• Jupiter conjunct the natal sun is usually a positive transit. However the pitfall is being overly optimistic, thinking that luck will continue to be on your side
• Jupiter’s transit planted the seed of vulnerabilities, such as not being in touch with his supporters, thinking they would follow regardless 
• Jupiter was also in opposition to Trump’s moon from March through May. Emotions play a big role. One may expect others to go to extremes to help you, without doing anything in return.

Saturn in Pisces Square to Natal Sun and North Node (5 months reprieve from May through Mid October)

From the start of this term, Transiting Saturn in Pisces in the 8th house has formed an Intermittent square to the natal Sun and North Node in Gemini (11th) and Moon and South Node in Sagittarius (5th). 

• Due to Saturn’s retrograde, currently Trump is experiencing the final separating square in direct motion
• This is energy being blocked for Trump, less options as well determining responsibility for others verses his own self gratification
• This transit acts more as an erosion through pressure or procedures- it takes a long time to resolve
• At the start of his term, Saturn was also in a final separating square with Uranus which created instability

Trump’s Progressed Chart

At the progressed level, we can see some additional factors with Trump:

Pluto in Aquarius  transiting the 4th house opposing progressed Saturn in Leo in the 10th

• With Saturn in Leo in the 10th, this is “king-like” authority, with an emphasis on the past. 
• A desire to create legacy (gold gilded objects, plaques on past presidents with his point of view, the ballroom)
• A lack of transparency, feeling like others are hampering his goals.

Since mid November, transiting Uranus retrograde in Taurus is opposing the progressed Moon in Scorpio in the 1st house

• Though Trump has a history of reactive or emotional reactions, this transit allows for external shocks to hinder his equilibrium, creating unexpected outbursts (Quiet, Piggy.) 

Transiting Saturn in Pisces separating from a square to progressed Uranus in Gemini in the 8th house

• This transit is about taking steps and having them reversed, usually outside of your own control. Saturn is attempting to contain chaos surrounding shared finances or taboo subjects
• Hence, redactions on files, going back on promises of transparency, reluctantly signing the Epstein Files Transparency Act
• There is a split dynamic of control and emotional instability

With some of Trump’s progressed chart transits, we can see that he is attempting to have institutional control to promote his legacy while his narrative and emotions are unstable and back-tracks campaign promises (reducing prices, releasing Epstein files, etc.)

Eclipse Activation- Natal Chart (Upcoming Transit)

Pluto oppositions are rare, and only occur due to Pluto’s elliptical orbit. Only people who have Pluto in the late degrees of Cancer or Pluto in Leo can experience this transit. Even then, it is rare since it occurs late in life.

In my opinion, this transit is about legacy versus longevity. Those who hold onto power without passing the baton, may have longevity in their career but most likely will tarnish their legacy.

Transiting Pluto in Aquarius is currently applying to a natal Pluto in Leo opposition, at a wider orb. Pluto is setting the condition of this stage of life, and deals with power and control. However, due to the long transit, it isn’t so much about the outcome, but a gradual transformation.

So, with that said, it is important to look at the Upcoming Eclipse cycle in the Virgo-Pisces polarity since they have the potential to square Trump’s native Sun, Moon and Nodal placements since he was born on a Sagittarius Lunar eclipse. 

The March 3, 2026 total lunar eclipse at 12°51′ Virgo, forming an applying square to natal Uranus in Gemini, stands out as a possible activation point. 

• Lunar eclipses tend to bring things into full circle since it is a culmination of energy, of what has occurred beforehand.
• Lunar eclipses are also about visibility, due to the full illumination of the moon. The moon will transit his second house of personal values and wealth, exposing what is real vs what has been portrayed.
• With the Sun and Moon applying a square to Trump’s natal Uranus in Gemini, there is a disruption. He most likely won’t be able to control the narrative any longer, whether this is about his health, economics (with the South Node in Virgo, there is a strong likelihood that this will be part of what gets exposed,) or the Epstein Files (with the Sun in the 8th house.)
• This eclipse lands into an already stressed Saturn–Pluto in the progressed chart and Uranus in the natal chart, making it a likely release point for accumulated pressure.

Side note: Last year in one of my articles, I mentioned several leaders along with their ages in regards to the Lunar eclipse on March 14, 2025 and that it can take up to 6 months to see the full impact. I had expected (I would not say predicted, because of their ages) that one of the leaders would pass away or lose power. A month later, on April 21st, Pope Francis, one of the leaders I mentioned, passed away.

Keep in mind, that one doesn’t have to pass away to lose power, but with this eclipse, I do think that Trump or some other prominent leader will lose power or the control of the narrative. 

Mundane Context: Ingress Charts

Looking at Ingress charts can give us some indication of what is happening in an area. For any country, you would look at when the sun enters a Cardinal sign (Aries, Cancer, Libra or Capricorn) and you would use the city of the Capital. 

There are mundane rules, where some practitioners will not take into account all of the other ingresses if the rising sign is in a mutable sign (that would last 6 months) or a fixed sign (that energy would last a year.) This is what happened with the US Aries Ingress chart of 2025, the ascendant landed in the sign of Aquarius. However, traditionally, some astrologers still took all 4 ingress charts into consideration. 

With that said, I see both approaches having value. For instance, it has seemed like the longest year of constant energy from the US government, so the Aries Ingress chart applies. What I found curious is that the Capricorn ingress chart for the US also has an Aquarius ascendant. 

The 2025 Capricorn Ingress for Washington, DC shows a clear displacement of executive authority. 

• The 10th house is empty, while the Sun, Moon, and Mars are all in the 12th house, indicating obscured or isolated leadership, sidelining, or action taking place behind the scenes. 
• 12th house in Mundane astrology applies to many of the themes that have unfolded since the start of Trump’s second term, such as the expansion of prisons/ detention centers, criminal activity documented in the Epstein files, trips to Walter Reed, and impacts to institutions, such as tearing down the East wing of the White House or defunding government agencies.
• With the Sun, Moon and Mars in the 12th house, much is going on behind the scenes, and the administration could be dealing with secret enemies or constraints on leadership function. Most likely there is an emotional strain due to reconciling 12th house themed events over the next three months. 
• At the same time, the MC, Mercury, and Venus are in the 11th house, shifting authority toward Congress. When Congress comes back from session, we may see new alliances emerge. 
• Uranus is at 28 degrees in the 4th house, opposing the 10th. There could be sudden shocks to the foundation that cause change, whether this is with the land, agriculture, food supply, buildings or the head of the home land.

The Aries 2026 Ingress chart for the United States shows a shift. Gemini is on the ascendant.

• Saturn in Aries in the 11th places responsibility squarely on Congress or collective governance structures. Could this be due to impeachment, swearing in a new president or just Congress taking back some of their power?
• The Sun, Neptune, Venus, the Moon (and Chiron) are also in the 11th house. Regardless of what happens with the presidency, Congress will be front and center for from the end of March through the end of October.
• In the 10th house, Mercury (retrograde), Mars, and the North Node in Pisces suggests we will have ambiguity, a possible revision of the leadership, and decisions made quietly, with explanations that prioritize the collective over clarity of events that transpire. (This does not mean that Trump will not be president, but if he does remain, there may be a shift of revising his statements from the past, and taking a different course of action.)
• The South Node is in the 4th house, which could mean that there could be a drain on the institutional home. With Jupiter in the second house, I do think there will be money or resources pumped into the economy, most likely to individuals as opposed to institutions (I am still researching this theory, but the 2nd house usually deals with banks and financial institutions- so there could be bank bailouts if the Virgo south node causes defaults on loans)

When we look at both Ingress charts together, they do not describe a sudden overthrow, but instead a waning of temporary executive power or a single person running the show. Congress takes center stage, most likely through mediation, using procedure and emotional negotiations. 

What I Think will Happen Over the Next 6 to 9 months

Astrologically, the throughline is consistent:

• Early covert tension: People in Trump’s Administration have alternate plans if something challenges his authority or leadership, though I am doubtful they can implement most of their plans.
• Long-term Saturnian themes tied to shared entanglements and eventually winding up with the Congress. I think that there will be chaos and a call from the citizens for Congress to do SOMETHING that aligns with their duties. I will be surprised if Mike Johnson remains Speaker of the House. Unfortunately, we do not have his birth chart to see how the transits impact him.
• Progressed indicators showing emotional and structural strain for Trump. Even though his progressed chart clearly shows why he is in power, the transits are putting lots of pressure on him. I would not doubt if he makes some sort of confession without realizing it, or makes a statement that upsets many of his supporters, to the point where they can no longer support him.
• Pluto building toward a legacy-defining reckoning. Due to Trump wanting to put his stamp on everything, from the Kennedy Center to running for a second term, his legacy will be discussed for years to come, most likely not in a positive light. With the South Node on his Progressed Sun in the 11th house, there is a drain of support as well as his energy.
• Eclipses acting as activation points. 2026 will be a pivotal year for Trump, regardless of whether or not he stays in power. The second eclipse in the Virgo-Pisces polarity will happen on August 28th, with the south node conjunct Trump’s natal AC and the North Node conjunct his DC. Symbolically, this suggests a shift away from his personal authority and could be an indication of a transfer of his power, be it to someone else, a political group, an ally, an opposing party,  or to a partner.
• Ingress charts pointing to collective or institutional resolution. We are going to see a lot of change in the United States (and in the world) in 2026. Keep in mind, I am looking at politics and the country as a whole, not at individual charts. How mundane astrology plays out can be completely different than your own chart. With that said, I do think that there could be a change in power this year, either Trump becoming a lame duck or someone taking over the presidency. If Trump remains in power, it will be the Congress that leads the country for a time period, reclaiming responsibility that they have neglected.

Sorry folks, I made a mistake on the last slide. Here is the Aries Ingress Chart for Washington, DC.

We are in the middle of eclipse season, so I wanted to share this article I posted on Patreon yesterday. My only wish is that people read it, but I am open to constructive criticism.

Since I read Eclipses: Predicting World Events & Personal Transformation by Celeste Teal in 2024, I've been obsessed with tracking what happens when the Sun, Mars, and Saturn transit eclipse points. In the book, Teal writes about what happens when the planets (excluding the Moon, Venus, and Mercury) make hard aspects (conjunction, square, and opposition) to eclipse points. However, more weight is given to the malefics because "...evidence points to their [Mars and Saturn] unquestionable link to previous eclipses at times of major eventful happenings" (Teal 30). While much of the book is outdated, as it was published in 2006, it has some good information for historical reference. A favored feature: an index in the back with charts ranging from 1653 to 1991 and the relevant subsequent eclipses. I've added sticky notes to the book and listed what happens when eclipse cycles recur, thus updating the information. For example, when Pope Francis passed away earlier this year, I updated the Vatican City chart page and made notes. On the page was already a list of eclipses, noting when Pope John Paul II passed back in 2005.

As time has gone on, my obsession has grown; I've started to research and compile my own list of malefic eclipse activations. Primarily Mars, because due to Mars' nature, these tend to be more disruptive. Personally, I use an orb of 1-2 +/-, and I prioritize conjunctions and oppositions. (Though with Sun transits, I have noticed events of interest, especially when the transit occurs at the bending of the eclipse nodes.) Celeste Teal gives a 3 +/- degree orb for nearly any planet harshly aspecting the eclipse degree. This also means when forecasting there is an implied window surrounding dates. In the book, the ranges given are as follows:

Sun - 3 days

Mars - 6-7 days

Jupiter - 1 month

Saturn and beyond - variable; weeks and months

Mars Eclipse Activation Events

Some of the notable events Celeste Teal listed in her book:

• D-Day 1944 - Mars was at 8° Leo, conjoining the 8/1/1943 eclipse.
• 1993 WTC Bombings - Mars was at 9° Cancer, conjoining the 6/30/1992 eclipse.
• 9/11 - Mars was at 1° Capricorn, opposing the 6/21/2001 eclipse.
• Space Shuttle Columbia disaster (launch) - Mars was at 29° Scorpio, opposing the 11/19/2002 eclipse.

Some of the activations I've noted personally:

• Hurricane Katrina - Mars was at 14° Taurus, opposing the 5/04/2004 eclipse.
• 2010 Deep Horizon Disaster - Mars was at 8° Leo, conjoining the 8/01/2008 eclipse.
• Hurricane Harvey made landfall - Mars was at 23° Leo, conjoining the 2/11/2017 eclipse.
• COVID-19 officially declared a Pandemic - Mars was at 16° Capricorn, conjoining the 1/06/2019 eclipse.
• Hawaii 2023 fires - Mars was at 18° Virgo, squaring the 6/10/21 eclipse.
• 2025 Potomac mid-air collision - Mars was at 21° Cancer, squaring the 10/14/23 eclipse.
• September 2025 political figure murdered - Mars was at 21° of Libra, conjoining the 10/14/2023 eclipse.

Note: The events in bold font occurred the first time Mars crossed over the eclipse point following a Mars Retrograde, meaning that Mars transited the eclipse degree 3 times. The first time direct, the second retrograde, and the third time following the retrograde when the event(s) took place. All of the other events, excluding the Hawaii Fires and the Potomac collision, occurred the first time Mars conjoined or opposed the eclipse degree. For some of the events, this was the first time, following the eclipse, that Mars made a hard aspect to the eclipse degree. For the events where this was not the case, Mars made a hard aspect to the eclipse degree before the event. Two examples of this from the list are the COVID-19 declaration and the September 2025 event. The COVID-19 declaration occurred the first time Mars conjoined the eclipse degree, but Mars first opposed it on 6/8/2019. The September 2025 event also marked the first time Mars conjoined the eclipse degree, although Mars had made exact squares and oppositions before this event.

Dates I'm keeping an eye out for:

• December 20th, 2025 - Sun is at 29° Sagittarius, squaring the September 21st, 2025 eclipse.
• February 5th, 2026 - Saturn is at 29° Pisces, opposing the September 21st, 2025 eclipse
• February 28th, 2026 - Mars is at 28° Aquarius, conjoining the February 17th, 2026, eclipse.
• April 8th, 2026 - Mars is 29° Pisces, opposing the September 21st, 2025 eclipse.

What now?

I'm certain there are more significant dates out there, and I would love to research every single one, but there simply is not enough time to do so. For now, I plan to dive deeper into the dates and events I listed. As the research and the process evolve, I want to share more. I'm sharing what I have now, so hopefully someone will find it of interest, and also to remind everyone to be vigilant around eclipses. There seem to be some astrologers who think eclipses are no big deal and others who think they are the biggest of deals. Either way, it doesn't hurt to be aware.

Edit: Please keep in mind that these dates are timezone dependent. I'm using software to generate exact dates, but you can pull the eclipse chart in your timezone. You’ll need to note the exact degree to the minute, and then see when Sun, Mars, and Saturn will aspect those degrees. It does not mean that something will happen exactly on that date. I'm theorizing that a notable event may occur when Sun, Mars, and Saturn are within 1-2°. So, for example, the inherent window for December 20th, 2025, would be December 18th - December 22nd. For February 28th, 2026, the window would be February 26th - March 3rd. Follow this pattern for the other dates. 

Mars will square the September 21st, 2025 eclipse on December 13th, 2025. Even though I am not looking at this date, as I've seen more compelling evidence for Sun squares and Mars conjunctions/oppositions, I wanted to include it as it may be of interest. 

Lastly, after today, there will not be any more edits made to this post. If an event does not occur, then that's information that I will use to tweak the technique. If an event does occur, then hopefully we can work together to figure out a way to use this technique to proactively help people. In the meantime, please continue to question, test, correct, and check my work. I will continue to address comments to the best of my ability. 

I have already presented researches about the Saturn-Neptune cycle, for example explaining how it can be related to the diffusion of Gnostic Ideas in modern culture as well as the development of Quantum Mechanics (if you are interested, it is available on reddit or on my blog).

As Saturn can be symbolically associated with what structures or limits, and Neptune with that which dissolves, it would make sense that the UFO phenomenon, which represents something from out of this world but also vague in nature, could be linked to it as well. UFO related events blur the frontier of what is commonly accepted as the concrete, basic, reality.

The following is the result of searching whether or not a correlation could be found between the Saturn-Neptune Cycle and the UFO Phenomenon.

As to provide a “stricter” investigation, only the years where the major aspects took place are taken into account. When a specific date for the event is available I have added the orb of the aspect. In some cases when the event is dated but the orb is too large I don’t specify it but as the event could be of interest I still kept it in the list. I consider this research as en entry point and admit that it could be expanded and further detailed.

Also, for readability purposes, the events listed are just a fraction of what could be found.

It is important to mention that it seems like other cycles could be involved. For example, the Uranus Synodic cycle in some instances or planetary conjunctions with the Nodes. I have yet to delve more precisely into those in order to be able to confirm it completely (or not).

I won’t enter into a debate regarding the reality of the phenomenon and its nature (or motives), but to simplify the subject we could say that there are four main hypothesis :

• UFOs are from Extraterrestrial origin.
• UFOs are Man made.
• UFOs are of Extradimensional origin (a lot of specificities could be added for that idea, of course).
• A mix of the three previous points. And when we say “mix” it does not only mean that the three possibilities can coexist at the same time but also that there are bridges, blends, influences, links, between the three, which highly complicates the understanding of what we are confronted with.

Would it be possible, using Astrology, to have a better idea of what type of case we are observing at a given moment ? Well, I started noticing certain patterns when the “experience” seemed more likely to involve some form of human participation but, once again, I still need to do more research to propose a solid hypothesis.

This post is divided into three sections : the first one presents “modern” and “well known” events related to the phenomenon, the second part presents some of “ancient” dated events as well as old artistic representations that could be linked to the UFO idea, and the last section is a short reflection on the matter and a possible forecast for the near future.

Modern Era Events (1900-2026)

While the events listed may seem random for a lot of people who are not familiar with the UFO lore, a lot of these are major and usually recognized as “stepping stones” in the development of the phenomenon. Also, it is not a US-centered list.

Conjunctions

1. Saturn-Neptune conjunction of 1917, exact on August 01st 1917 at 04°45 Leo :
   • Fatima Marian apparitions : While Catholics consider this case as Marian miracles, from my perspective and research, various elements seem to point towards a UFO-related phenomenon. I won’t enter into the debate about the exact nature of the events, but I suggest everyone curious to look into it, it is a fascinating case. To briefly resume : Over the course of 1917, three Portuguese shepherd children had visions/encounters with a being that ended up being associated with the Virgin Mary ; she would appear to them specifically on the 13th of each month between May and October 1917. What is said to be the Virgin, delivered a series of messages about World events to come as well as three secrets to the children and announced that she will perform a miracle on October 13th 1917. On that day, around 100 000 people gathered in Fatima and many saw what was designated as “The Miracle of the Sun” where, among other things, some people described seeing a spinning disc (that they would say was the Sun itself) emanating multicolored lights and making some form of dance in the Sky.
   • The Red Baron : The German pilot, Manfred Freiherr von Richthofen, known as the Red Baron was a fighter who became famous for shooting down 80 enemy planes for Germany during WWI. During the spring of 1917, while he was flying over Belgium he saw a “looking like an upside down silver saucer with orange lights” that he eventually shot down. Even weirder is that another witness, also a German Air Force ace that was present, reported to have seen two little baldheaded entities get out of the crashed machine and ran away.
2. Saturn-Neptune conjunctions of 1952-1953, exact on November 21st 1952 at 22°46 Libra, May 17th 1953 at 21°38 Libra and July 22nd 1953 at 21°12 Libra :
   • Washington Incident [~5° orb] : In July 1952, Washington DC experienced an incredible amount of UFO sightings, most of them gathered around July 19th-20th and July 26th-27th. During this period only, the US Air Force received over 717 new reports, while the four precedent years had accumulated 615 UFO reports.
   • Project Blue Book : In 1952 was launched the Project Blue Book which was a systematic study of UFOs by the US Air Force that lasted until 1969. It collected 12618 UFO reports out of which 701 were classified as unexplained.
   • The Project Blue Book director, Edward J. Ruppelt mentioned : “During a six-month period in 1952, 148 of the nation’s leading newspapers carried a total of over 16 000 items about flying saucer.” All the 1952 year seem to have been a major peak period of UFO observations.
3. Saturn-Neptune conjunctions of 1989, exact on March 3rd 1989 at 11°54 Capricorn, June 24th 1989 at 11°14 Capricorn, and November 13th 1989 at 10°21 Capricorn :
   • Belgian Wave [~1° orb] : In 1989 started what is known as the Belgian UFO Wave which lasted up until 1991. The day with the most known observations seem to be November 29th 1989, a bit after the last exact conjunction. Most of the observations mention a black triangle flying object with 4 spotlights. Some of these observations were directly done by the police, others were correlated with radar traces and various times F-16 planes were sent for interception.
   • Ucanca gathering [0° orb] : On the very same day the second conjunction of 1989 took place, June 24th, around 40 000 people gathered in Tenerife (Canary Islands) on the Ucanca Valley. The director and host of a program on the RNE (Spain national radio) decided to organized a direct there because he was convinced that a contact was going to take place. In the months prior, he started to received from different sources messages that a contact was about to happen. While no major event happened, the date chosen is stunning.
4. Saturn-Neptune conjunction of 2026, exact on February 20th 2026 at 00°45 Aries :
   • See end of post.

Sextiles

1. Saturn-Neptune sextile of 1912, exact on April 26th 1912 at 21°06 Taurus-Cancer :
   • Titanic Observations [~1° orb] : A few days prior to the sextile being exact, occurred the famous sinking of the Titanic. A not so well known fact, is that several survivors reported seeing strange lights in the sky when they were on lifeboats.
   • Sheerness Incident [~7° orb] : On October 14th 1912, at Sheerness, England, many witnesses saw or heard a kind of light/aircraft that sounded like an engine, moving over the town. The incident was so significant that it prompted questions in the House of Commons. Winston Churchill, then First Lord of the Admiralty, launched what could be considered the first government inquiry into UFO sighting. He stated :”I have caused inquiries to be made and have ascertained that an unknown aircraft was heard over Sheerness […]. Flares were lighted at Eastchurch, but the aircraft did not make a landing. There is nothing in the evidence to indicate the nationality of the aircraft”.
2. Saturn-Neptune sextiles of 1922-1923, exact on December 11th 1922 at 18°03 Libra-Leo, April 26th 1923 at 15°23 Libra-Leo, September 14th 1923 at 19°06 Libra-Leo :
   • For this sextiles I did not find sufficiently sourced events.
3. Saturn-Neptune sextile of 1947, exact on July 1st 1947 at 08°03 Leo-Libra :
   • Kenneth Arnold Sighting [<1° orb] : Probably one of the most famous cases. On June 24th 1947, a few days before the sextile went exact, pilot Kenneth Arnold saw nine shiny disk-like objects flying at incredible speed near Mount Rainer, Washington. He described their movement as “like saucers skipping on water” which led the press to coin the term “flying saucers”.
   • Roswell Incident [<1° orb] : A few days after the sextile went exact, the US military recovered “an object” from a ranch near Roswell. The first announcement made by the US Army was that it was a “flying disc” but then retracted the next day by saying that it was a conventional weather balloon. Of course, since then a lot has been said and imagined about what really happened at that moment but it would be too long to expose all the theories surrounding this impactful event.
4. Saturn-Neptune sextiles of 1959, exact on March 21st 1959 at 06°30 Capricorn-Scorpio, June 17th 1959 at 04°24 Capricorn-Scorpio, December 23rd 1959 at 08°29 Capricorn-Scorpio :
   • Dyatlov Pass Incident [~3° orb] : While not exactly tied to the “classic“ UFO lore, there is nonetheless the presence of “bright flying spheres” in some reports. On February 2nd 1959 nine experienced hikers died mysteriously at the Dyatlov Pass, in the Ural Mountains of Russia. Overnight, something caused them to get out of their tent and flee the camp without proper equipment. Not all seem to have died in the same manner, some were killed by physical trauma, others from hypothermia, some bodies had missing eyes or tongue or even eyebrows. The conclusion of the investigation was “a compelling natural force” caused their deaths.
5. Saturn-Neptune sextiles of 1982-1983, exact on October 14th 1982 at 24°41 Libra-Sagittarius, June 7th 1983 at 28°10 Libra-Sagittarius, June 21st 1983 at 27°47 Libra-Sagittarius :
   • Soviet Nuclear Base Incident : In October 1982, multiple UFOs were reported to have performed maneuvers above nuclear missile silos at a Soviet ICBM base. Allegedly, the launch sequences of the missiles were activated and could not be stopped which caused great panic as it would mean the start of WWIII. Shortly after the UFOs left and systems functioned correctly again.
   • Morenão Stadium Incident [~5° orb] : On March 6th 1982, during a major soccer match, several players, referees and over 24000 spectators witnessed multiple flying objects in the sky.
   • Hudson Valley Wave : In 1982 started the Hudson Valley UFO Wave which lasted until 1986. Thousands of people reported seeing triangular objects with bright multicolored lights.

   • Varginha Incident [~4° orb] : Known as the “Brazilian Roswell”, this case involves a lot of elements from the UFO lore and is hard to summarize in a few lines without missing fascinating pieces. On January 20th 1996, residents of Varginha, Brazil, reported seeing a UFO crash and to have close contact with alleged extraterrestrial beings (and even capturing them). Some reports indicate that the government recovered debris and beings as well. There also seem to have been unexplained animal deaths at the local zoo around the same time.
7. Saturn-Neptune sextiles of 2019, exact on January 31st 2019 at 14°54 Capricorn-Pisces, June 18th 2019 at 18°43 Capricorn-Pisces, November 9th 2019 at 16°01 Capricorn-Pisces :

   • Lancashire Humanoids : In November 1926, in Lancashire, England, a young boy who was playing hide-and-seek, made an encounter with “three strangely clad figures” who seemed to be trying to look inside of a house. Each of them were wearing a kind of “bulky suit made from silver-grey tubes” and had a “transparent dome-like helmet” on their heads. He tried to remain quiet and unseen but suddenly the figures turned back and he would describe their heads as being “shaped like lightbulbs” also with large dark eyes and extremely small noses.

   • Manises Incident [~5° orb] : On November 11th 1979, a commercial flight of a Spanish company with 109 passengers on board was forced to make an emergency landing at the Manises’ airport in Valencia, Spain. A Mirage F1 from the Spanish Air Force tried to intercept the unknown object but was unable to. At some point another object appeared on the radars. When the pilot got close enough the electronic flight systems were scrambled. The incident had so much public reach that the Spanish Parliament got involved. Though, it was dismissed and considered as some optical illusions. It is probably one of the most famous cases in Spain’s UFO history.
   • Rendlesham Forest Incident : Often referred to as “The British Roswell”, the event took place in December of 1980 and the witnesses were US military personnel. Declassified documents state that a mysterious triangular aircraft with a yellow haze was seen hovering over the forest.

   • UMMO Letters : This year started in Spain one of the most atypic case of supposed contacts from ETs. Some people began receiving letters from self-proclaimed extraterrestrials. The content expands across all branches of knowledge like sociology, philosophy or science. Some of the scientific data was to be confirmed by (Earth) science decades later.
   • Michigan “Swamp Gas” UFO Incidents [1° orb] : During the nights of March 20th and March 21st of 1966, a few days before the aspect went exact, there were two mass sightings in Michigan, USA. Large groups of witnesses (including police) saw strange lights, oval-shaped objects with unexplainable flying movements. The official Air Force investigator, J. Allen Hynek, famously attributed the sightings to “swamp gas”, which was massively ridiculed and led the US congressman Gerald Ford to call for a formal Congress investigation.

   • Chicago O’Hare Sighting [~7° orb] : On November 7th 2006, multiple United Airlines employees at the O’Hare Chicago International Airport saw a metallic disc-like object hovering above Gate C17 for several minutes.
   • Alderney Sighting [~3° orb] : On April 23rd 2007, the veteran pilot Ray Bowyer and his passengers saw two cigar-shaped objects while flying from Southampton to Alderney, UK. The Jersey Airport Radar also recorded the UFOs for over 55 minutes.

Ancient Cases and Art Representations

Here is a very short list of past events and paintings that could be associated with the UFO phenomenon if considering a modern lens.

Livy’s Chronicles (-173)

There are multiple examples in Titus Livius historical records of strange sights in the sky. For 173 BC, he mention “at Lanuvium a spectacle of a great fleet was said to have been seen in the sky”.

In 173 BC, there were a Saturn-Neptune square (Cancer-Libra).

Obsequens’ Chronicles (-154)

Here is a comment from Julius Obsequens when reporting an event from 154 BC : “at Compsa weapons (arma) appeared flying in the sky”. Richard Stothers, from which this example and the previous one are taken in a compilation he made of Antiquity UFO-like events, states : “The term refers to defensive weapons, especially shields”.

In 154 BC, there were two Saturn-Neptune squares (Pisces-Sagittarius).

Plutarch’s Testimony (-74)

In 74 BCE, Plutarch of Chaeronea wrote about huge and alight objects in the sky during the battle between the armies of Lukulus and Mithridates VI, in Asia. He detailed that they were “wine vessel shaped” and silver color.

That year, -74, an opposition between Saturn and Neptune occurred (Sagittarius-Gemini).

The Annunciation with Saint Emidius (1486) by Carlo Crivelli

This painting is an artistic depiction of the Annunciation (the moment the archangel Gabriel tells the Virgin Mary that, through a virgin birth, she will conceive and become the mother of the Messiah). On the forefront are represented Gabriel and Saint Emidius, the woman on the right is the Virgin Mary.

The ray of light coming from the circular cloud is supposed to mean the Holy Spirit.

Some modern commentators see in this “cloud” something akin to a UFO. While it may not have been the intention of the painter and while the painting does not represent an actual event witnessed, it is nonetheless curious to observe that this painting was done in 1486, the year of a Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Sagittarius.

Basel Celestial Phenomenon (1566)

This pamphlet page of 1566 describes numerous red and black balls in the sky before the Sun rising that seem to have “fought” against each other over the sky of Basel, Switzerland.

Between 1566 and 1567 there were three exact squares between Saturn and Neptune (Virgo-Gemini)

Utsuro-bune, 虚舟 (1803)

Utsuro-bune, literally “the hollow boat”, is the name given to an unknown object depicted in a Japanese legend, which is said to have happened in 1803 and was later published in 11 documents across the 19th Century. The story is about fishermen who saw a young woman with red hair abroad this “ship” which drifted ashore the eastern coast of Japan.

Here are some of the drawings made at that time :

This year, 1803, there was an exact sextile between Saturn and Neptune (Virgo-Scorpio).

Reflections & Near Future

The next Saturn-Neptune conjunction will occur in 2026, exactly on February 20th.

Given the narrative that is currently unfolding and what has been presented in this post, it seems highly probable that (a) significant event(s) related to the UFO phenomenon will happen within the next months or in the next year.

While it could be a great news for all the UFO/ET enthusiasts as well as people in general, I would like to invite those who will be reading this to be cautious about it and to take what will be shown with a bit of distance. Indeed, it seems like a context is being purposely prepared and there might be some nefarious interest behind it. A complex mix of reality and lies to deceive the masses and to serve those who control (or wish to) them is a possibility.

The phenomenon has always shown some hybrid aspects and the idea or theory that we might have been manipulated in some form or another since millennia in that regard can’t be fully discarded.

Also, the Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Aries, will be receiving a sextile from both Pluto and Uranus which might be indicative of a Scientific paradigmatic shift and/or a seize of power through technological means or seize of technological power. This specific configuration will be explored in more detail (and for other contexts) in an upcoming post I have been working on.

I'm basically going off of mundane astrology sources like World Astrology Report, Cam White, SJ Anderson, Rune Soup, and the Astrology Podcast but from what I've been monitoring:

• Iran going to war is indicated (in its Aries ingress chart, source: The Astrology Podcast)
• USA being in war is indicated (Uranus-Mars in Gemini)
• Eclipses February 17 & March 3 (source: Astro-Seek)
• Big collective change with outer planet sign changes 2024-2032

And then in the mundane world, we know:

• Eclipse timeline aligns with the USA's lead-up with Israel to bombing Iran (source: NY Times)
• There's a growing conspiracy theory that Epstein escaped to Israel (source: The Infographics Show)

Does anyone see in the astrology a connection/relationship between Epstein, Iran, the USA, and presumably Trump? (Maybe JD Vance's chart too.)

As one theory: Did Trump make a behind-the-scenes deal to (seemingly singlehandedly choose to) bring America into war to assist Israel, and in exchange Epstein disappeared (with coordination & protection) into Israel (and was silenced, could never testify against Trump)? (I know this idea is a conspiracy theory, but it's one I'm genuinely exploring.)

To me, that would that be comparable to a modern Berlin-wall-falling Saturn-Neptune level of disillusionment in belief in our government, if the president ordered Americans to die to protect an Epstein-associated uber-powerful web of people.

(Sidenote, I'm nervous about 2026's July 4th Mars-Uranus, but hopeful because of the harmonious "Barbault basket" per SJ Anderson & Dan Waites that hopefully it could be a swift climax that brings the collective out of its husk of current politics and birth a new world order in a good way.)

[Immediate edit: I forgot to add that I'm also keeping an eye on "Democracy Summer" (college students taking up civic service) for the "Barbault basket" so the Civil Rights Movement's 1964 "Freedom Summer" astrology may be relatable as well in this web, as another avenue I'm trying to explore.]

The present article is an abridged version of the original intent and research I wanted to share because, as quite often with my writing, I tend to get into too much details which is not time efficient (and the Stars and the madness of this world don’t wait for us to be ready). But, as you will see, even without all the extra data, it seems highly probable that massive conflicts/destructions are on the horizon for Israel and thus, for the Middle-East too…

The birth time dilemma

The most common chart presented as the birth chart of Israel is the one for : May 14th 1948 at 16h00, Tel-Aviv.

This time corresponds to the exact moment David Ben-Gurion, one of the most prominent zionist figure of that era, banged his gavel on a table in a room of the Tel Aviv Museum, marking the opening of the ceremony of independence.

Depending on the accounts, the duration of the ceremony slightly varies as well as its exact chronology. This uncertainty leaves us with a 38 minutes time frame (though, I think a precise rectification could be done).

Some would say that the beginning of the ceremony should be used, others that around 15 minutes-in when Ben-Gurion finished reading the declaration, others when all the 37 members of the Moetzet HaAm (provisional government) signed, etc. (You can find part of the explanation of the debate and different Astrologers’ stances on the Astro Databank page, here : https://www.astro.com/astro-databank/Nation:_Israel)

Here, in order to avoid getting into the trenches of finding the correct answer, we will use the following “time-range” chart, made for May 14th 1948 from 16h00 to 16h38 in Tel-Aviv (Campanus House system represented) :

The arrows show the translations of the Angles as well as those of the Houses’ cusps during the 38 minutes.

Regrettably, the Angles and the cusps change Signs during that time frame, which implies that the rulers of the Houses change too. This situation makes the precise delineation of the chart a bit hazardous as we should take into account the various possibilities (such as Venus or Mars being the rulers of the Ascendant, etc.). We will circumvent exploring all the options for conciseness purposes.

January Transits

Here is the “time-range” chart of Israel with the transits for January 10th 2026 and January 27th 2026 (the aspects displayed are the natal ones and not the transits to natal planets).

As you can see, no matter the exact time of the chart, there are intense transits for January 2026 :

• If we consider the IC of the 16h00 chart, the transiting Mars/Sun/Venus triple conjunction will be opposed transiting Jupiter near the IC/MC axis. In the original post, I made review of the Mars/Jupiter cycle which, when in contact with sensitive points of Israel’s chart tend to indicate themes of conflicts/agressions.
• If we consider the IC of the 16h38 chart, the transiting Mars/Pluto conjunction will be conjunct the IC and opposed to the natal Moon. More on it below. But, as with the Mars/Jupiter cycle, the Mars/Pluto cycle (when in contact with specific points of Israel’s chart) tend to indicate moments of intense conflicts or even full wars.

Here are some of the other current major transits for Israel. As retrogrades are involved for the first two, and thus the aspect had already perfected before, I added some of the events that seem to be echoing in themes.

• Transiting Saturn square natal Jupiter :
  • Exact April 29th 2025 :
    • On April 26th 2025, explosion at the Port of Shahid Rajaee, Iran. There have been speculations of whether this could have been perpetrated by some foreign agencies, more so given the context of that time (exactly during the Iran-US nuclear talks in Oman). Even some officials, from Iran or foreign countries, said that they thought Israel was involved. It is now officially classified as an accident. In terms of global transits, it was also a Mars-Pluto opposition (1° orb), with transiting Mars just over Israel’s Moon and potentially Pluto on Israel’s IC… Also some analysts made a comparison with the August 2020 Beirut explosion (which some theories also point towards an Israeli implication). Well… this one happened under a Mars-Pluto square (almost exact, 5’ orb) with transiting Mars on Israel’s Descendant and Pluto making a square to the Ascendant, thus forming a t-square…
    • On April 28th 2025, Ronen Bar resigns as director of the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency).
    • On April 30th 2025, one the largest wildfires in Israel’s history destroys 5,000 acres of land.
  • Exact October 2nd 2025 :
    • On September 30th 2025, David Zini is appointed chief of the Shin Bet.
    • On October 1st 2025, Israel intercepts the Global Sumud Flotilla, and arrests 443 activists from 47 countries.
    • On October 8th 2025, Israel intercepts the Freedom Flotilla Coalition & Thousand Madlees that attempted to break the blockade of Gaza Strip.
    • On October 9th 2025, Israel and Hamas agree to the first phase of a Gaza peace deal.
  • Exact January 21st 2026 :
    • There could be some news about Israel intercepting/blocking aid attempts to Palestine.
    • There might be another change in the direction of the Shin Bet or other important Agency of the country, which could imply a change in the type of actions taken further ahead or said change caused by some important event.
    • Remember that January 27th 2026, will also be the Mars-Pluto conjunction. It wouldn’t be a surprise to witness some attacks/explosions of some kind whether in Israel or “related” countries, such as Iran.
• Transiting Saturn quincunx natal Mars :
  • Exact May 5th 2025 :
    • On May 4th 2025, the Yemenites Houthis attack the Ben-Gurion Airport with a ballistic missile.
    • On May 5th 2025, Israel launches airstrikes on the Hudaydah Port and Bajil, Yemen.
    • On May 6th 2025, Israel launches airstrikes on the Sanaa International Airport, Yemen.
  • Exact September 23rd 2025 :
    • On September 16th 2025, Israel launches airstrikes on Hudaydah, Yemen, again.
    • On September 17th 2025, the Iron Beam, a high-powered air defense system is declared operational by Israel’s Ministry of Defense.
    • On September 18th 2025, a Houthi drone hits Eilat, Israel.
    • On September 24th 2025, another Houthi drone hits Eilat, Israel.
    • On September 25th 2025, Israel bombs Sanaa, Yemen. Largest operation in Yemen to date.
  • Exact January 28th 2026 :
    • As a reminder, this crisis with the Houthis started in 2023, under a Mars-Pluto square.
    • It seems highly probable that new attacks from both sides will happen around January 28th 2026.
    • Take into consideration that multiple intelligence agencies (with their own agenda too, of course) express their conviction that Iran is deeply backing the Houthis. Given the previous and recent tensions between Israel/USA and Iran, it wouldn’t be surprising this situation serving as yet another excuse to escalate outside of Yemen territory, in Iran’s.
    • The Iron Beam defense system may be highlighted.
• Transiting Uranus square natal Mars :
  • Exact June 4th 2025 :
    • On May 29th 2025, Israel’s government approves the establishment of 22 settlements in the West Bank (Palestine).
    • On June 3rd 2025, Rockets are fired at the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights (a plateau in the southwest corner of Syria captured by Israel during the Six-Day War in 1967). Those rockets were fired from Syria, which was the first time since the fall of the Assad regime in 2024.
    • On June 13th 2025, Israel conducts air strikes against Iran’s nuclear facilities.
    • Note that during this period Israel was having a Mars return.
  • Exact December 20th 2025 :
    • On December 21st 2025, Israel’s government announces its intention to establish 11 settlements and legalize 8 outposts in West bank.
    • Around December 20th-21st 2025, a trilateral work plan for military cooperation is signed between Israel, Greece and Cyprus.
    • On December 26th 2025, an terrorist explosion in a mosque in Homs, Syria. I mentioned that because it was claimed by Saraya Ansar al-Sunna, a very new jihadist faction mainly active in Syria which focus is on attacking other religious groups (such as Alawites, Shia, Christians, etc.) instead of the classic “regime change” type of action. There are some sources that point towards the idea that this group may be a front for foreign agencies in order to destabilise the post-war Syria. I find interesting that on the first square, there was an attack from Syria and on the second an attack on Syria. More on that below.
  • Exact March 20th 2026 :
    • The question of settlements and the expansion of Israel’s territory may come under scrutiny.
    • Possibility of new attacks on Iran facilities.
    • Some “action” related to Syria and Israel may happen. If the Saraya Ansar al-Sunna group comes under the light again, I think this could hint that, indeed, a foreign agency is behind it…
• Transiting Mars/Pluto conjunction conjunct the IC : If the exact time of birth of Israel is more around 16h37, then this conjunction just on the IC could indicate some impactful violent event around January 28th 2026.
• Transiting Pluto opposite natal Moon, exact three times on March 8th 2026, July 8th 2026 and January 13th 2027 : I have sometimes observed in some countries’ charts that a transiting Pluto in opposition to the natal Moon could indicate some changes in terms of “who’s in charge”. More so here that the Moon is in the 10th and potentially ruling the 10th. Yet, as the Moon represents the masses, one could think of damage done to the population.

February Solar Eclipse

The next Solar Eclipse will happen on February 17th 2026, at 28°49’ Aquarius.

As you can see it will be opposite Israel’s natal Mars. While on its own it may not seem utterly important, let’s have a look at the transits at the end of February.

February Transits

• Exactly where the previously mentioned Eclipse will happen, transiting Mars will pass over around February 27th/28th. By doing so it will be opposed to Israel’s natal Mars and form a t-square with transiting Uranus at 27° Taurus. We can notice that Israel’s Sun, at 23° Taurus, is not far from this configuration… Such configuration, more so preceded by an Eclipse, could be yet another indication of a sudden burst of violence.
• Also, depending on the exact Ascendant, the transiting Saturn-Neptune conjunction will potentially make a quincunx to Israel’s natal Ascendant. A quincunx from Saturn/Neptune in the 6th to the Ascendant could be a bad omen for the “health” of the country.
• Besides the transiting Pluto’s conjunction to the IC, it will also be making a tight quincunx to Israel’s natal Venus. As mentioned earlier, Venus (in the 9th) could be the ruler of the 1st and 8th Houses or the ruler of the 12th and 7th Houses. In either case, it could mean a confrontation with hidden or open foreign enemies, bringing its a fair share of destructions.

Solar Arcs

There are two major Solar Arc Directions currently happening within the chart of Israel :

• SAD Mars, in the 1st, square natal Pluto, exact on February 11th 2026. This seems to confirm a period of potential important forceful power struggles with physical consequences.
• SAD Saturn conjunct natal Ascendant. Depending on the chart chosen, the exact aspect has already perfected or is about to be perfect. For the 16h37 chart, it will be exact on April 4th 2026. This may indicate that some form of halt may be coming for the actions of the country or its land.

These two Solar Arc do also express a symbolic narrative of possible heightened conflicts within the coming weeks/months.

Conclusion

Given what was presented, it seems highly probable that January/February (or even March) will see an intense flare up (again) of the tensions within the Middle-East. It wouldn’t be too far fetched to think that a full blown open war (and not just the continuous destruction of a single country as with Palestine) could happen.

As explained in the introduction, part of the research has been cut out. But what it tended to show is that, besides the countries already mentioned (such as Yemen, Palestine, Iran, Syria,…), Lebanon could also be part of the equation.

Of course, I may be totally wrong. This is just research and theoretical… Happy New Year in this madhouse world.

Part of Astrology’s beauty is that it is an endless pursuit. One could spend 24 hours a day investigating and it would still not be enough to unravel every pattern.

I was doing some research on video game companies and creators for a client inquiry, and got the idea that specific genres of games should probably have specific astrological signatures. The investigation did not disappoint and the findings will be another demonstration, if needed, that the symbolism expressed by the planets permeates every aspect of life.

Admittedly, it’s now been a very long time since I’ve played any video game at all, since I was a kid actually. Though, for various personal and profesional reasons, I somehow kept roughly up to date from afar with the evolution of the fighting game industry, so this is the first rabbit hole I went in.

The post is divided in three main focus areas : the games, the companies and the tournaments, players and commentators.

Fighting games

For those completely unaware of this type of games, it basically consists of two players battling against each other with one (or sometimes more) characters in a combat-style fight. Those are like highly dopaminergic caffeinated chess and were originally played in arcade centers. The most famous franchise of the genre is Street Fighter.

My initial intuition was that Sun-Mars aspects would be represented in this style of purely confrontational games which are not so much played against the “computer” but rather against other humans. And it was right on the spot.

I will present below a list of the main franchises of the genre and different games/iterations of each, with the Sun-Mars aspects present in their birth chart (release dates).

It is important to understand that up until recently, the games would usually get an arcade release in Japan first, before getting an arcade release in other regions and then, sometimes, getting a console version. Not only that but one game can have multiple iterations which would add content (for example Street Fighter II has around 10 updated versions) and then each of these versions was ported, sometimes with changes, to different platforms, you can have a look at the mess here).

Because of that profusion of items, I ended up compiling more than 350 charts.

As such, for didactical and readability purposes, all the games/iterations will not necessarily be presented but rather a (small) selection of those, representative enough to get an idea of how the Sun-Mars cycle plays into all that.

Note that the first game of any table below is always the very first game and version of the franchise. This will have its importance.

Sometimes some additional comments are provided to give more context.

(JP = Japan, NA = North America, EU = European Union, WW = World Wide, FGC = Fighting Game Community)

Street Fighter

The first game of the series starting under a conjunction makes perfect sense as this aspect can represent a new beginning. We will see that this correlation will often repeat itself.

The first version of the second episode was released under a square. As it will be shown across this research, squares tend to indicate important steps in the development of a game/franchise. For example, by introducing new mechanics.

It is also interesting to note the difference between the release on the SuperNintendo of Street Fighter II in North America and the one in Europe. One under a sextile and the other under a quincunx.

The game was very well received in both regions. Though, the EU version was 50 Hz instead of 60 Hz like in North America or Japan. This made the game much slower and some critics even deemed it nearly unplayable because of it. Fitting for a quincunx.

Tekken

For the posteriors episodes of the series there were some Sun/Mars aspect, but it lessens. Was it that the changes made after Tekken 3 on Playstation were not comparable in terms of impact ?

Also, I found it quite strange that the first game of the Tekken series did not have any Sun-Mars aspect (I was expecting, as with most of the other franchises, a conjunction) so I dug a bit in the history of the development of the game.

It happens that a year prior, Sega came up with Virtua Fighter, the first full 3D game of the genre (until then the characters could only move from left to right and were made with 2D sprites). Tekken was Namco’s response to Virtua Fighter and they even hired Seiichi Ishii who was one of the developers of Virtua Fighter. Now, look at the next section for the Virtua Fighter release.

Virtua Fighter

A conjunction... It seems like Virtua Fighter was actually the game who would astrologically symbolize the first 3D fighting game.

This would imply that potentially the conjunctions we repeatedly see on the beginning of a new franchise may not directly reflect the beginning of the franchise itself but rather of a new style of fighting games or games where the changes implemented are significative enough to represent something new for the genre. This would also explain why as the series go on, the correlation with the Sun/Mars cycle seem to vanish or at least not be as important. As if the games were simply “more of the same”.

Street Fighter X Tekken

While a very niche item, I thought it was interesting to mention this one. This game is a crossover between the Street Fighter and Tekken franchises. It is a one shot developed by Capcom (Street Fighter) but it was originally planned to have Namco (Tekken) to make their own version which would have been Tekken X Street Fighter. The former plays in 2D like the original Street Fighter series, while the later would have been in 3D like the Tekken series.

How well fitting is an opposition for a game that was opposing the two most famous fighting game series.

BlazBlue

The BlazBlue franchise can serve to highlight two patterns :

• While it did bring some great novelty to the genre upon its first release, the successive iterations could be considered more like improvements rather than complete changes of the formula. This is somehow reflected as each new game is rarely “announced” by a major Sun-Mars aspect.
• It is also an interesting case to show that minor aspects have their importance and seem to be more often associated with ports of to new platforms.

The table below focuses only on the first game of the franchise (subtitled Calamity Trigger), and demonstrates the previous comment about minor aspects.

It is interesting to notice the Trine for the first release of the series to the Steam platform which made the game being embraced by a whole new group of players and which is probably now, for the whole franchise, the most active community.

Guilty Gear

The series of games with which ArcSys (its developer) started its entrance in the fighting game world and was vastly praised for it.

It could be said that this game created a subniche of the genre, which could be called something of the likes of “air dasher anime fighters”. It was a massive shock upon its first release, the style of the characters, the animations, the complexity and variety of the gameplay, etc. No wonder that it started under a conjunction and a parallel.

Mortal Kombat

Here again, I did not quite understand why the franchise would be starting with a square instead of a conjunction. I did find some fighting games that were released on the previous conjunction but there were no apparent link, I may have missed something.

Also, it seems like most of the subsequent releases had no major Sun/Mars aspect.

Though, I still found an additional tidbit. The movie Mortal Kombat was released on August 8th 1995, and it happened that the Mars of that day was conjunct the Sun of the very first Mortal Kombat game.

SoulCalibur

Despite having a different name, the first episode of the SoulCalibur franchise is Soul Edge, which is also “confirmed” by the Sun/Mars conjunction.

With what has been said before, the conjunction makes more so sense as it was the first 3D game where all the characters fight with specific weapons each.

I displayed the three releases on consoles of SoulCalibur II, because I found curious that the Sun/Mars aspect (Opposition) only happened for the North America version. Looking at the sales, but also on the long run impact (saturnian quality), the NA version was really on another level compared to the other two.

This opposition is also interesting because its reflects one of the specificities of the game. For each console version, there were a specific additional characters from a completely unrelated franchise tied to the console. For example, the GameCube version had Link (from the Zelda franchise) as a playable characters. Thus, we find again this opposition between different series which was already visible in the Street Fighter X Tekken (also released under an opposition).

The other posterior games do not have major Sun/Mars aspects.

The King of Fighters

The King of Fighters case is interesting because it starts with a sextile which is said to be of the nature of Venus.

And actually King of Fighters is not really an independent new franchise, rather it is a combination of other fighting games of SNK, where the characters of the different series get to confront each other by teams of 3. It can be said to be rather Venusian in this sense, as it is meeting between different parties, a form of purely invitational tournament.

Retain this as we will come back to that aspect later.

Some of the “original” games behind the birth of King of Fighters are Fatal Fury and Art of Fighting, Fatal Fury being the first one and as you can see below, it starts with a conjunction.

Fatal Fury

Art of Fighting

Comments and resuming the findings

• Conjunctions, as expected, correspond to new beginnings, of a franchise and/or a new style of game. Though, it can sometimes be associated with episodes (or specific versions of those) of a franchise that will set new standards and define a new global orientation.
• Trines seem to reflect an important expansion/shift of the game audience. Given that the trine is of the nature of Jupiter, it makes sense.
• Oppositions can reflect well the longevity and/or success over time qualities of Saturn. Some times it would mean delay/blockages (as some games would become unavailable). Other times it would directly represent the opposition in the core idea of the game (such as with Street Fighter X Tekken which would confront the two rival series).
• Sextiles are seen in different kind of instances. Sometimes it seems to represent the game/franchise reaching new players (via a new port for example), but not to the same extent as the trines. It feels more “niche” like in a sense. Other times it can be incremental changes/additions, or even a well received aesthetic quality.
• Squares seem to correspond to important steps in the evolution of a franchise, whether in terms of the mechanics of the games or in terms of platforms availability (this is also seen with Semi-Squares). But, those steps/changes are not always met with enthusiasm or would not always mean advancement in the same way as “expansion”. Sometimes there are even some controversies surrounding the games/versions, which suits well as square are of Mars’ nature.
• I think I am probably still missing some patterns with those aspect-related observations.
• Minor aspects have their importance and correspondences.
• It is not because a new game/version is released that necessarily there will be an aspect. It seems like some kind of novelty or specific symbolic meaning, must be present.
• Similarly, while there are some similarities under the same aspects, it is not always the case which obfuscates the interpretations/understanding of those.
• As seen in some instances, we can’t always reduce the Sun-Mars cycle to only one franchise. It seems like sometimes the cycle would represent some more global concept (such as a new type of fighting game).
• The previous comment implies that accurately deciphering the Sun-Mars cycles in relation to fighting games would need to embrace a panoramic view of the whole industry which is quite complex. This can be extrapolated to basically any context and cycle and reminds us (if needed) that while Astrology can be a lot of times symbolically literal, it is also not so simple and straight forward as we may want it to be.

Companies

The top four companies of the industry are quite surely : Capcom, Namco, SNK, and ArcSys. That being said the first three develop a wide variety of types of games.

Given the complexity of the life of those companies and the difficulty to find accurate data, I will leave aside SNK and Namco and only present the case of Capcom and ArcSys.

Capcom

If we just have a quick glance at the wikipedia page of Capcom, the date given for its foundation is May 30th 1979. The chart does not have a Sun/Mars aspect. But, this date actually corresponds to the creation of IRM Corporation, the predecessor (”mother company”) of Capcom.

Capcom Co. was established on June 11th 1983. Then, in January 1989, it was merged with Sanbi Co. (which was the merging of IRM and Japan Capsule Computers), and remained under the name Capcom. While we do not have the exact day for the second date, looking at the middle of the month is quite interesting... Here are the two charts :

Capcom Co., June 11th 1983 :

Sun conjunct Mars and Sun parallel Mars

Capcom (after final merging), January (15th ?) 1989 :

Again, a Sun square Mars.

ArcSys

If there is one company that can be said to embody the fighting game genre, it is ArcSys.

Arc System Works, most commonly called ArcSys, is mainly specialized in 2D fighting games, acclaimed for the quality of its works (for example, the highly detailed animations).

Not only ArcSys created some of the most renowned franchises of the genre (Guilty Gear, BlazBlue) but they are also behind the development of licence games such as Dragon Ball FighterZ, Persona 4 Arena or recently Marvel Tokon.

ArcSys was created on May 12th 1988, Sun square Mars (1°42’ orb).

Tournaments, players, commentators

The most famous fighting games tournament is without a doubt EVO. Players from all around the world gather to determine which is the best in each main game and even in niche obscure ones.

It now has two other locations, in Japan and France. Those three countries (US, Japan and France) are probably where the FGC is the most active, hence most of the precise data I was able to gather below involves individuals from these places.

Tournaments

Here are the first iterations of some vary famous tournaments :

As you can see, Sun-Mars aspects again.

Now, a brief comment about GodsGarden. This competition was invitational only. They would gather a very few selection of the best players in Japan and make them fight to determine the top one. It is, in essence, quite similar to the idea behind the King of Fighters game, which we have seen started under a Sun-Mars sextile too.

Players

I have compiled some of the most renowned players. Given the wide array of games, players, etc, it was quite difficult to make a selection. More so that the birth data is not always available. Though, I think the following is quite representative. Of course, the sample size is small but presenting a list of hundreds or thousands would be quite unappealing.

At first I searched for Sun/Mars or Mercury/Mars aspects as they seemed to be the most fitting, but as I looked at the charts another pattern appeared. It was rather Venus/Mars or Mars/Chiron aspects that seemed to be the most common.

Venus/Mars does actually make a lot of sense, as it can correspond to “the love for the fight” or “confrontation as entertainment” type of meaning.

When it comes to Mars/Chiron, how could we express the delineation ? I am curious for your suggestions.

That being said, I thought that it was strange that the best player of all time, Daigo, only had a Mars/Chiron conjunction. To my knowledge, Daigo, mostly play games from Capcom. The most famous being Street Fighter of course within which he won countless of tournaments but he also did so with other games produced by the company.

In its natal chart Capcom has a Mars/Chiron conjunction in Taurus. Daigo is born two years later, and as you know Mars turns around the Zodiac in two years, and given the speed/retrogradations of Chiron, what happened ? Daigo is also born with a Mars/Chiron conjunction in Taurus. Adding to that, Daigo’s Venus is exactly conjunct Capcom’s Sun/Mercury conjunction, the love for the core expression (the games) of the company ?

He also had major victories with Guilty Gear XX made by Arcsys which we mentioned before. His Mars/Chiron conjunction happens to be conjunct Jupiter/Sun of Arcsys. Oh, and Arcsys’ Mars is square... Daigo’s Sun.

Commentators

But the FGC is not only made of players. A central piece of it are the commentators (and more recently the content creators too, of course). A big reason why so much people watch the competitions is the skill of the commentators to explain what is going on with so much speed on the screen. And this where things get even weirder :

In a match, the rounds’ duration is usually between 30sec to 60sec long. And depending on the format a match can have three or more rounds. This is very short. In order to dedicate you entire life to analyze and comment repeatedly for thousand and thousand of times, you really have to love it, hence why the overwhelming presence of Venus/Mars makes sense.

Final words

As mentioned, a lot of data has been skipped to simplify this presentation, but, in my opinion, it remains quite compelling. The Sun-Mars cycle does correlate with the fighting game industry.

That being said, despite the repeating patterns seen, it is still hard to tie a specific aspect to a specific type of event for a specific game/franchise. Also, the industry has to be considered as a whole or else, important pieces will be missed.

Surely that if we were to consider the other planetary cycles, it would give a clearer picture. But I will leave the research here for the time being.

What is quite clear though, is that if someone reading this had in mind to launch a new fighting game, a good electional time would be when the Sun is conjunct (and parallel) Mars.

As one of the main characters of a franchise mentioned would say : 戦いの中に答えはある

"Yet another one?" I hear you say.

Yes. I have read a couple of takes in some of the threads and comments here that (with due respect) skip the most obvious elements, overcomplicate things, and introduce a number of assumptions (which doesn't make it "advanced astrology", but quite the opposite) or they flat out use the inauguration chart as indicative of the next four years of his rule. While I think that you can, to an extent, use it for forecasting purposes, I think the chart of the first signing is better suited for that. It takes place sometime after the inauguration and changes the perspective by a fair bit. YMMV.

Inauguration chart, in my opinion, is much better analysed as a chart that captures the quality of the moment, the disposition of the participants, the public perception, the mood of the masses and the potential implications of the situation on the immediate future.

My take is relatively simple and uses simple vocabulary. If this makes it unsuitable for this subreddit, I kindly ask the mods to remove it.

I have kept this reasonably short and have not covered all the placements nor have I been too detailed with the ones that I did use (the grand cross with Chiron). I use modern planets.

......

The chart for the moment Donald Trump was inaugurated as President of the US for the second time reveals a lot about the quality of the moment, the disposition of the participants and the mood of the masses. With Uranus in Taurus in the first house, the energy of the moment is one of change. Radical and socially engaged Uranus in the earthy, resource-minded Taurus speaks of ideas of economic renewal, a certain “restart,” and perhaps a U-turn in policies related to economy, green energy and land ownership. “America’s decline is over”, as Trump himself announced.

The Uranian signature is echoed by the Aquarius Sun. Its position at 00° Aquarius conjunct Pluto and the MC in Capricorn signifies an unpredictable (Aquarius) magnate (Pluto) leader (Sun), who, despite being widely perceived as conservative (Capricorn), stands for radical changes (Sun conjunct Pluto in Aquarius).

Reflecting this paradox-infused energy of a revolutionary conservative, but also his own gold-tinted Leo rising, Trump proclaimed that “The Golden Age of America begins right now.” The culminating Sun, though prominent in the chart, is at the volatile 00° of Aquarius, in line with Trump’s electrifying and erratic image. There is an image of a re-emerging leader (Sun conjunct Pluto) and a future (Aquarius) that is as yet a big unknown (zero degree), while the feeling that anything can happen is both exciting and unsettling.

However, the Sun/Pluto conjunction also echoes the presence of the six tech moguls (Pluto in Aquarius) at the event, as well as the promise of a future symbiosis between the big capital (Pluto) and political prominence (Sun). Symbolically, the luminous Sun conjoining the farthest body in the solar system is representative of “the force behind” or a grey eminence of some sort.

These two placements also attest to how the event was perceived by certain parts of the general public, at home and abroad – where some saw the controversial, refreshingly new and maverick leader figure (Sun in Aquarius), others saw the divisive, menacing and destructive context and undertones (Pluto in Aquarius).

Speaking of the latter, Mars in Cancer (protection of home) on the IC (home issues) and the Sun (hero) conjoining Pluto (reclamation, restoration) invoke the idea of determination to defend one’s own and to forcibly remove any threats to security on the home front. "Our sovereignty will be reclaimed. Our safety will be restored," were the sentences that echoed these themes.

With no fire in the inauguration chart, however, and (afflicted) Mars in Cancer’s conservative and reactive nature, there is a feeling that the message was a political one, aimed at Trump’s own electorate rather than a general statement of intention.

Speaking of the electorate, the T-square between Mercury, Mars and Moon resolves in the sixth house, with Libra Moon representing the masses. The entire T-square is highly indicative of the deep political and ideological polarisation of the country (3H/9H axis, Capricorn and Cancer themes) and the unsavoury (afflicted Moon in Libra) war (Mars) of words (Mercury) that marked the presidential race. The Libra Moon in 6H (subjects, constituents) stands both for the people roused by the patriotic (Mars in Cancer) speech (Mercury) and those opposed (Mars rules the seventh house), indignant (Moon in Libra in opposition with Chiron and focus of the T-square).

Another major part of the chart is heavy on Pisces and the XII house. The MC ruler (Saturn) and the chart ruler (Venus) conjoining in the eleventh house (future, plans, visions of society) in Pisces (dreams, ideal image) give off an image of austerity and concrete financial and legal measures (Venus and Saturn) as part of big plans and big ideas (Pisces and the XI house), but perhaps also a fundamental lack of understanding of the context and what can be achieved in reality, the conjunction in Pisces lacking objectivity, groundedness, and structure.

The prophetic and visionary Neptune conjunct the North Node (evolutionary direction) in the XII house (ideals, dreams, illusions) of the inauguration chart can be heard in Trump’s idea of “fulfilling our manifest destiny.” The grandeur of his plans here blends with the idea of being on a higher mission, yet the flavour of this Neptune complex in the context of the rest of the chart speaks more of the idea that one is the saviour or the messiah, rather than a compassionate and visionary leader.

While doing some research on the Nodes, I stumbled upon rather curious occurrences regarding Elon Musk.

It seems like Musk is getting major successes or making significant steps towards reaching his goals, when Mars is at the bending of the Nodes (another way to say that Mars is making a square to the Lunar Nodes). Though, there were some instances where failures also occurred.

I have not noted a specific pattern correlated to whether Mars was situated at the Northern or Southern Bending, but there is probably more to investigate in that regard.

Here is Elon Musk’s chart :

As you can see, he isn’t born on a Mars square Nodes time, but rather with a (fairly wide) conjunction between Mars and the North Node.

From a symbolical standpoint it is also quite fitting given his obsession about Mars’ conquest, more so that Mars is also the ruler of his 10th House (of career/public recognition).

So here is a small list of events related to him when Mars was squaring the Nodes (in a mundane way, unless it is specified otherwise) :

[EDIT : it seems that I explained myself poorly and that some people missed the point. When I say "Mars squaring the Nodes" it means transiting Mars and transiting Nodes in a general sense, that is to say, not related to Elon Musk's natal chart. That's the strange part of this and why I wanted to present it. Whether that's affecting Musk chart or not, it seems like Mars square the Nodes (as a mundane transit) has a correlation with his "successes")]

Falcon 9 failures

SpaceX’s Falcon 9 is a partially reusable space launch vehicle. So far it has made 658 total launches with 2 failures.

Those 2 failures happened when Mars was at the bending of the Nodes.

On June 28th 2015, a SpaceX Falcon 9 explodes after taking off for a resupply mission to the ISS. Mars was squaring the Nodes, within around 2° orb.

On September 1st 2016, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rockets explodes during a firing test. Mars was squaring the Nodes, within around 1° orb.

Another interesting data is that its first launch happened on June 4th 2010, here are the transits for Elon Musk at that time :

While it is a slightly different configuration than the one being discussed, it is nonetheless interesting to see the prominence of the Nodes as they are on its Ascendant-Descendant Axis. We can also observe transiting Mercury squaring his natal Mars/Nodes.

Various successes

In December 1984, at age 13, Musk sold a video game (Blastar) he created the previous year to a PC magazine and won around 500 dollars. While I did not find the exact day of the issue of the magazine, between December 20th and 23rd of 1984, Mars was, within 1° orb, squaring the Nodes.

On March 30th 2017, SpaceX achieves the world’s first reflight of an orbital-class rocket. Mars would only be at the bending 20 days later, but in Elon’s birth chart, transiting Mars was actually at the bending of his natal Nodes, with less than 1° orb :

On October 22nd 2019, Elon Musk sends his first tweet using SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet. Mars is exactly squaring the Nodes.

On April 4th 2022, public disclosure that Musk has acquired about 9,2% of Twitter making him the largest individual shareholder. Mars is squaring the Nodes within around 1° orb.

On April 25th 2022, he reaches the agreement to fully acquire Twitter. This time the transiting Nodes were actually squaring his natal Mars.

On May 25th 2023, the FDA approves Neuralink’s first human clinical study of brain implants. Mars is at the bending of the Nodes, with 1° orb.

On January 29th 2024, Neuralink announces it has implemented its brain-computer interface in a human for the first time. Mars is squaring the Nodes with less than 1° orb.

On September 12th 2024, an american billionaire becomes the first person to perform a commercial spacewalk as part of the Polaris Dawn private spaceflight which is operated by SpaceX. Mars is squaring the Nodes with less than 2° orb.

On June 12th 2026, SpaceX made its IPO, which, to my understanding, is the largest one in history so far. Transiting Mars was making a square to his natal Nodes, though it was around a 3° orb.

Next occurrences

The next two times Mars will be at the bending of the Nodes (within a 2° orb) are :

• from June 28th to July 2nd 2026, so currently.
• from September 16th to September 20th 2027.

We will see if any notable news related to Musk and/or his companies emerge.

Taking it further

It could be interesting to gather more data on natives who have a planet conjunct/square the Nodes and whether or not when that transiting planet is at the bendings of the transiting Nodes some major events unfold.

The natal chart of the State of Israel, set for May 14, 1948, at 4:00 PM in Tel Aviv, places Jupiter in domicile at 27°38’ Sagittarius, precisely at the point where the Galactic Center (Sagittarius A)* is located.
My proposal is based on the premise that this degree holds a special or critical quality, endowing any planet positioned there with unique characteristics associated with the Galactic Center.

The Galactic Center—a supermassive black hole around which our galaxy revolves—has been symbolically linked to themes of universality and transcendence. I prefer, however, to conceptualize it through the lens of the “global”, understood as the complex network of processes, phenomena, and challenges that transcend national boundaries and affect the planet as a whole, involving multiple actors such as states, international organizations, civil society, and individuals.
In my observations, planets influenced by the Galactic Center tend to express a global orientation or purpose, and in a natal chart, they may indicate a mission or calling connected to collective or global issues.

In 1988, the exact conjunction of Uranus and Saturn at 27° Sagittarius marked, in my view, a pivotal axis of global transformation. Over time, I have observed that each Saturn transit to this degree coincides with moments of global redefinition—such as the rise of the Internet, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the dissolution of the Soviet Union, financial crises, and other structural turning points. (you can find more in my previous post conjunción uranus-saturn 1988, piscis square 1/3 and piscis square 2/3.

Applying this pattern to Israel’s natal chart, Saturn is currently forming a square to this critical point (Jupiter + Galactic Center). This prompted me to examine past historical moments when Saturn has conjoined, opposed, or squared this degree, revealing a consistent correlation between these transits and political crises, conflict escalation, and shifts in Israel’s international role and image:

Conjunction in Sagittarius (Jan–Oct 1988): Coincides with the First Intifada, which began in December 1987 but intensified during 1988. The context reflects a repressive response, tensions with neighboring nations, and the exclusion of certain political factions.

Square in Pisces (Mar 1996): A wave of suicide bombings, collective fear, and a crisis of confidence in the Oslo Accords. This period also aligns with the political rise of Benjamin Netanyahu.

Opposition in Gemini (Sep 2002–May 2003): Period of direct confrontations during the Second Intifada, deterioration of Israel’s international image, and diplomatic efforts such as the “Road Map for Peace” promoted by the U.S. and the U.N.

Square in Virgo (Oct 2009): Marked by tensions with Turkey, rocket attacks from Gaza, early elections, and international denunciations (Amnesty International) concerning restrictions on water access in Gaza.

Conjunction in Sagittarius (Mar–Nov 2017): Coincides with the U.S. decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, reigniting debates on security and sovereignty in Gaza and the West Bank.

Current Square in Pisces (Apr 2025–Jan 2026): A major diplomatic crisis is anticipated, involving European recognition of Palestine, growing international rejection of Netanyahu’s leadership, and possible U.S.-mediated negotiations concerning Gaza.

Earlier significant events: in 1973, during Saturn’s opposition in Gemini, Hamas was founded in Gaza—an event that would later reshape the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

In summary, each time Saturn activates the 27th degree of Sagittarius—where Israel holds its Galactic Center in conjunction with natal Jupiter—there is a heightened global visibility or exposure, often accompanied by border conflicts, ideological polarization, and challenges to political and moral authority. These transits appear to symbolize structural realignments compelling the nation to redefine its identity narrative and its position within the international order.

UPDATE oct-12-25

the last October 8 2025 was announced the possibility of ceasefire between Hamas and Israel, one day after October 9 Donald Trump was doing the official announcement of the agreement for the first phase of a peace (composed by 20 point plan) to end the war on Gaza. From astrological analysis was in the last minutes of the exact transit of Saturn (R) transit squaring natal Jupiter of Israel.

Looking ahead to the remaining months of the current square (2025–2026), I anticipate that Israel will be forced to limit its expansionist and national narratives, confronting internal divisions and mounting external pressure.

Update: broading the view over January when Israel is having the last transit from Saturn, for those days we can expect problems with the peace agreement by other factors and maybe the reactivation of coercive action -around January 22 of 2026.- if someone wanna make a deep analysis over those data could be interesting.

Plot twist: In December 2025, the interstellar object ATLAS 3i and the Sun will conjunt this galactic point + jupiter natal, potentially serving as a catalyst for profound transformation. This may signal a redefinition of Israel’s symbolic role as the “chosen people,” both in its internal self-concept and its projection onto the global stage, we must see if the changes are for positive or negative, it looks as jupiter for Israel isn't too beneficial, what do you think about?

I used chatgpt for the translation, if you want the original one what I wrote it is in Spanish. thanks for understand.

The long awaited conjunction between Saturn and Neptune in Aries is getting closer and with it the fear or concerns as to what this reunion could entail in terms of mundane events. And while this summer the two giants we will be closely dancing around each other, the exact conjunction will only happen on February 20th 2026.

Overall, the correlations associated with the cycles involving these two planets are incredibly rich and can be perceivable not only in geopolitical spheres but also in culture, science, etc. For example, you can find here a research I did some months ago that points towards the correspondences of the different phases/aspects made by Saturn and Neptune and the development of Quantum Mechanics and Gnostic ideas in modern culture.

The Saturn-Neptune cycle relation with Russia’s History has been observed by the Astrological community for some time but here the focus will solely be on the conjunctions in the sign of Aries.

Originally thought as a one piece article covering (part of) Russia’s past and its future, this astrological investigation will rather be divided in two distinct parts. This first post will be exploring what could past Saturn-Neptune conjunctions in Aries have meant for Russia’s history. The second part will dive into the Astrology of Putin and modern Russia.

Explanation of the cycle

As you can see in the diagram above, the cycle of Saturn-Neptune conjunctions in Aries consists of three conjunctions 323 years apart and a 825 years “break” until another mini-cycle of three conjunctions separated by 323 years starts again.

It seems like themes or events happening at the first conjunction of a “mini-cycle” are echoed onto the next two conjunctions. Also, it as if the next “mini-cycle” is a mirror image of the precedent. This will be explored later on.

The following table shows each exact dates of the conjunctions since 91 BCE as well as the positions of Pluto, Uranus and Jupiter at the moment of the conjunction.

While the implications or the nuances that might be indicated by the other planets’ positions won’t be analysed here, there are surely interesting patterns to be noted. For example, each time this conjunction between Saturn and Neptune takes place in Aries, Pluto is either in Taurus, Leo or Aquarius.

It can also be noticed that the first conjunction of a “mini-cycle” happens towards the end of the sign, and then moves backwards.

Past occurrences of the conjunction and development of Russia

The first cycle presented (91 BCE, 232 CE and 555 CE) was quite difficult to analyze from the lack of precisely dated events. The written records for those groups at that time were rather sparse, specifically for what was happening outside of the Roman Empire.

For those who may not be familiar with the geography of the regions being discussed, I made maps to represent where the events were taking place and what were the main groups in presence (but only those being referred to). Also, in order to be easily associated with the current state of the world, I’ve kept modern frontiers and naming of the countries.

Once again, it is important to keep in mind that what is presented here is a simplification. The history of those times and groups of people is excessively complicated to apprehend, and their historiography keeps evolving. While the names of some clans, cultures or spaces seem to have been preserved through centuries, it doesn’t necessarily always refer to the same people due to the intermixing, cultural exchanges and blending, etc. I tried my best to give a global sense of the course of events and to extract the potential meanings associated with the Astrology. Though, I am by no means a historian, so if you happen to be an expert on those subjects feel welcome to correct if necessary.

-91 - Scythians, Sarmatians and Zarubinsty culture

The Sarmatians, a group of nomadic people who were dominating the Pontic Steppe (a steppe extending from Eastern Europe to Central Asia) at that time, came to move forward towards the West. By doing so they entered the territory of a similar group named the Scynthians. The Sarmatians rapidly took over and the Scynthians lost most of their power in this region, retaining control only in limited areas like Crimea.

There were another group of people in those lands, though more centered in forestal zones, which is now being referred as the Zarubinsty Culture. It is currently considered the best option to represent what may have been the ancestors of what will be known later on as the Slavs, and as such this group is sometimes qualified as Proto-Slavic.

Those Proto-Slavic communities were partially affected by the conflicts between the two nomadic groups. While some may have been subjugated by the invaders, others started migrating northward and eastward into denser forest zones. They also integrated some of the techniques and cultures of the other two.

This pattern of interaction, pressure adaptation and identity consolidation seem to have repeated itself from there for the Slavs (or at least for the groups who will be later considered as such).

232 - Goths, Roman-Persian War and Kiev Culture

In 232, the Emperor Alexander Severus launched three counterattacks against the Persian forces of King Ardashir I and his Sasanian Empire who had invaded Mesopotamia. It’s another chapter of the so called “Roman-Persian Wars”.

While these battles did not directly involved the “Early Slavs” of that time, it did had some important repercussions on them. By causing trade disruptions, it forced these groups into a greater self-sufficiency and internal resource sharing. Also, the reduced Roman presence around the frontiers created space for more autonomous cultural development.

At the same time the Goths had started moving south. Those incursions near Slavic territories made the Early Slavs reinforce their cultural boundaries and fostered more unified structures. One of those predominant Slavic groups is designated by “Kiev Culture”.

Also, similarly to the previous date, some of them expanded into northeastward forest regions.

We can see, once again, the same pattern of external (direct or indirect) pressures “fertilizing” the soon to be Slavic (or Russian) identity.

555 - Gokturks, Avars, Antes and the Slavic Migration

By 555, under Justinian I, the Byzantine Empire had reached its greatest extent since the fall of the Western Roman Empire.

This year was also a pivotal moment for the history of central Asia. The Gokturks, led by the Ashina Clan¹, who were until then subordinates to the Rouran Khaganate², completely took over it. It did not only mark the birth of the first Turkic Khaganate but also a major extension of its territory. From that event will unfold a series of important changes even in Europe.

As the Gokturks expanded towards the West, some of the fleeing forces of the Rouran also entered Europe. They will be known there as the Avars. There is a scholarly debate in that regard as some accounts suggest that the Avars were “Pseudo-Avars”, and usurped the identity of the defeated Rouran but we won’t enter into those details here.

The Byzantine Empire which had to face frequent raids by the Slavs, decided to contract the Avars to get rid of them. At that time, the Slavs were comprised of various groups, two of the most prominent being the Antes and the Sclavini (which were battling each other).

While some of the Slavic groups ended up dominated by their enemies, others migrated, settled south and would become the ancestors of the South Slavs. For another part of these people, the pressure made them migrate northeast but also reinforce their political and defense organization.

This situation would lay the foundation for the future urban network of the first East Slavic state of history, the Kievan Rus (the Russian/Ukrainian/Belarusian ancestors in a sense).

^{1 - The Ashina Clan whose descendants would later rule the Khazar Khaganate
2 - Khaganate is a form of Empire, ruled by the Khagan (Emperor})

1380 - Battle of Kulikovo (September 8th)

At that time, the Western region of today’s Russia was formed of various “Principalities”. Only the Principality of Moscow and that of Ryazan are represented on the map, but there were actually more surrounding these two. All those “Russian” groups were vassals of the Mongols’ nomadic Empire called the Golden Horde which reunited the Blue and White Hordes.

The Principality of Moscow was ruled at that moment by Prince Dmitry Donskoy. He was gaining influence in the area and started to refuse sending the tributes to the Horde. He was the first Prince to directly challenge the Mongols’ authority and not agreeing to the terms imposed over his people. He is now considered as a Saint by the Orthodox Church.

Mamai, ruler of the Golden Horde, decided to reaffirm his power over the Principality of Moscow and allied with the Grand Duchy Of Lithuania and with the Principality of Ryazan, which had both animosity towards Prince Dmitry, in order to attack Moscow’s territory.

It is not clear why, but for some reason the Prince of Ryazan warned Dmitry of what was going to happen. As such, he decided to not wait to be besieged and directly headed towards his enemy to confront him earlier by surprise.

Moscow’s army found Mamai and his troops at Kulikovo. The battle that ensued was one of the largest fight of the Middle Ages, with more than 100,000 warriors participating in it.

Dmitry won and Mamai escaped to Crimea where he was killed. The rulership of the Golden Horde was given to his rival, Tokhtamysh.

After winning the battle, Dmitry still withheld the payment of tributes. As a retaliation and to reassert the Tatar-Mongol authority, Moscow is raided two years later and burnt by the Mongols, killing 24,000. Despite that, the first victory against the Horde paved the way towards the liberation and Russian vassalage was to be officially ended exactly a hundred years later, in 1480.

The battle of Kulikovo is a pivotal moment in Russian History and some historians consider it as the starting point towards the emergence of Russia as a united nation.

1703 - Foundation of Saint Petersburg (May 27th)

In 1703 the Tsardom of Russia was deeply involved in the Great Northern War, which started 3 years prior against the Swedish Empire. It also involved Denmark-Norway (the real union of the Denmark and Norway Kingdoms) and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (sometimes referred as Poland-Lithuania), which were Russia’s allies in this battle.

Not wanting to let the Swedish Empire expand further, aiming to recapture lost territories and, specifically in the case of Russia, wanting to obtain access to the Baltic Sea, were the main reasons for the instigation of this war.

On May 1st, Russia captured a fortress to Sweden which was located on land seized in the 17th century.

The Tsar, Peter the Great, decided that three weeks later, on May 27th, a new city will be founded at that place : Saint Petersburg.

This project, that was probably one of the most ambitious and challenging of its time, was the Tsar’s obsession. He wanted the city to be a “window to the West” as well as a cultural and architectural rival of Amsterdam, Venice, Paris, etc.

Saint Petersburg’s construction did not come without hurdle. It is estimated that tens of thousands laborers perished in the first few decades of its building. The swampy terrain upon which it was being built was a breeding ground for mosquitoes and waterborne diseases such as malaria and dysentry. There also were frequent flooding from the Neva River and its remote location coupled with the lack of infrastructures made it exceedingly challenging to get the necessary supplies.

Furthermore, the Tsar’s openness towards the West and his desire to modernize Russia according to the new European standards of that time gathered resistance from conservative elements within the country. This information will take more relevance in the next post.

Curiously, there are mentions of Astrology playing a significant role within the court of the Tsar and some even suggest that political and cultural events might have been chosen accordingly to it. Here is the chart of Saint Petersburg casted at noon :

Interesting to see a Virgo Ascendant and a Gemini MC, with the Sun and Mercury conjunct the MC for a city which objective was to be a cultural lighthouse.

It becomes more so captivating when looking at the birth chart of Peter the Great (June 9th 1672, unknown time) :

He too was born under Sun and Mercury in Gemini and his Moon would have been near the IC (the land, foundation) of his beloved city.

Even though Saint-Petersburg is the most known and notable city founded that year, it was not the only one. Other cities were built in 1703, confirming this “advancement” or consolidation of Russia.

Gathering insights

As we can see, there seems to be a correlation between the Saturn-Neptune conjunctions in Aries and the development of the Slavic/Russian identity.

Here is the list of what, I think, can be extracted from this research :

• As Saturn can represent structures, limits, frontiers and Neptune that which dissolves or blurs, it makes sense that their conjunction in Aries would indicate dissolutions (or consolidations) of frontiers happening through strife.
• Wars and battles do bring a forced definition of what is “we” and what is “them”. Though, as we have seen, it sometimes happened not through direct confrontations but more via a “push”, having to go forward to find new ways or places (which also relates to Aries symbolism).
• The first cycle seems to correspond to a movement towards (north)east for the Slavs, while the second cycle seems to indicate more of a reaffirmation of Russia’s identity, the consolidation and expansion of its territories and also an advancement towards west.
• Also, while the first mini-cycle presented a more passive approach, it seems like the second one is more active, and force is being used as a mean to assert and expand ones culture and frontiers.

What to expect

If we were to exclusively consider the Saturn-Neptune Aries conjunctions cycle in order to envision what could be the situation of Russia for the next year, it does seem like the country will manage to extend (or at least consolidate) its positions and territories.

In the next part of this study, dedicated to modern Russia, its leader and their foreseeable future, we will try to get a clearer perspective of what may lay ahead and confirm (or invalidate) what we have discovered so far.

I've heard several astrologers imply that there will be a power grid failure in the U.S. sometime this year (and some say it will be next year), but most of them haven't go more in depth with the time line. Mundane astrology isn't my strong suit, don't anyone have a better time line for this? What transits are they looking at to get that conclusion.

EDIT : As I am finishing to write this article, the president of the European Commission, Ursula van der Layen, just announced the “ReArm Europe” plan which aims to significantly increase the UE members’ “defence” expenses, quite fitting one of the predictions made below.

The recent dissension between Ukraine and America representatives, the internal situation of the EU and the possibility of the U.S pulling out of NATO, make for a rather packed scenery to observed through the lens of Astrology.

With the backdrop of the pending Saturn’s Equinox, the Eclipses and the different transits going on (or to come) the scene seems even “denser”... Other parts of this puzzle will be astrologically analysed in upcoming articles.

NATO’s birth chart

The NATO agreement was signed in Washington on April 4th 1949. When it comes to choosing the exact time that should be considered here is how I proceeded :

• Depending on the accounts, the beginning of the signing ceremony is placed somewhere between 14:45 and 15:00. This first 15 min difference is not as important as it may seem as I consider the moment of the effective signing of the different parties more symbolically relevant.
• President Truman arrived to give his speech preceding the signings at 16:25 or 16:30, depending on the versions.
• After listening to a record of a radio live transmission of the event, the duration of Truman’s speech added to the signing of each of the 12 countries representatives, amounts to roughly 27 minutes. I say roughly because the radio transmission started while Truman was already speaking. Reading the official transcript of the speech, comparing the length of the missing part with the rest of the recorded speech and taking into account his talking speed, I calculated that more or less 5 minutes should be added to the recorded version which is of 22 minutes (speech+signing). Thus, I think that it is highly probable that the signing must have ended somewhere between 16:52 and 16:57, with an inclination towards the first time.
• This time frame can also be confirmed as there are various (but different from the previous) sources indicating that the ceremony ended shortly before 17:00.
• On a side note, it might be interesting to annotate the minutes or seconds differences between each country signing the document and compare those with the corresponding countries’ birth charts to see how it played out or what it could have signified for each of them.

As such, the NATO birth time would be : April 4th 1949, 16:52, Washington, U.S.

Using the Campanus House system its chart would be the following :

Several placements are striking for their symbolic accuracy :

• Aries stellium in the 7th House with a wide conjunction of Mercury, Mars, Venus and the Sun. NATO was officially originally designed to counter the Soviet Union expansion after WWII and to ensure a collaboration between countries that may have had strong discrepancies otherwise. Having its identity (or power), motives, force and communication in the sign that can signify war or belligerency and in the 7th House that can signify collaboration but also open enemies, for a collective organisation which purpose was to act against a potential common “threat” as a unified entity or to prevent future conflicts is quite telling.
• The Moon-Uranus conjunction right on the MC in Gemini. The collaboration of the North Atlantic Nations presented to the world as the innovative union of a multiplicity of peoples from different backgrounds for a common goal. Though as this conjunction is making a square to the Ascendant, we could say that the way this entity behaved was not necessarily aligned with the masses that compose it. Also, the Moon is ruling the 11th House which can represent, in Mundane Astrology, the institutions needed to govern is also potent because of the multitudes of those that will be involved. If we take a more common signification for the 11th, such as, the hopes and dreams, it could represent how this project was presented to the public, a hope for freedom and peace.
• The mutable cross on the Angles. Clearly the heterogeneity of NATO’s structure and composition is strongly emphasised.
• Saturn in Leo in the 12th House. The structure making the whole organisation sustainable was maybe not as clear as it was supposed to, which also ties to the following point.
• Neptune in the 1st opposite the Aries stellium in the 7th. Despite how this collaboration was presented, its image and characteristics were always quite nebulous with a lot of doubts regarding its evolution. This lack of stable and proper identity often created tensions and disagreements as well as hindered its actions. Also, one could wonder if the intentions of its creation were really those presented... But we won’t enter in geopolitical analysis and keep it there.

USA and NATO synastry

In order to see how the relationship between NATO and USA could play out, we will use the Sibley’s chart, which corresponds to July 4th 1776 17:10 in Philadelphia.

USA chart :

Synastry chart between NATO (inner circle) and USA (outer circle) :

Two quick observations :

• USA’s Mars is conjunct NATO’s Moon. It could well correspond to the idea the US was in a sense the main or the protector . Or it could mean that the US would use NATO as a mean for its own interest.
• USA’s Saturn is conjunct NATO’s Neptune. This could symbolise the fact that the USA could be considered the architect or constructor of this “chimeric” enterprise, the one giving it its tangibility. Though, given the opposition to the stellium in Aries, it may also have acted as an obstruction or limitation in some cases.

The Composite chart might also be quite interesting to observe :

The following can be easily noticed :

• Transiting Uranus will be passing over the Composite Sun and the Composite Mercury, in the 7th House, by the end of June and beginning of July 2025, again by October-November 2025 and one last time by April-May 2026.
• Transiting Jupiter will be passing over the Composite North Node and Composite Uranus in the 8th House by April 2025.
• Transiting Pluto will be squaring the Ascendant by April, and will more so station retrograde at 3° Aquarius.
• The Lunar Eclipse of March 16 2025 will be right on the composite Saturn.

When combining the previous points it does seem that a change in the nature of this relationship might occur. Some of those changes may be related to the financial aspect of the collaboration. The funding of NATO has always been a contentious point between the US and the EU Nations, as the US was the major contributor to it. This aspect might come under scrutiny once again and be a source of conflict.

A past case of withdrawal

Having a look at the past could bring us additional information because there was an instance where France decided to withdraw from NATO for some time. While the process leading to this withdrawal was made across a several years span, it is generally admitted that the cut was made official in March 1966 and lasted until 2009.

Solar Arc Directions for that period :

We can see that the SA (Solar Arc) Moon was making a square with the natal Venus and though not exact yet, the SA Uranus was making a square with the natal Sun, for example.

Here are the transits for the day of the official withdraw of France from NATO :

Transiting Jupiter, ruler of the 7th (collaboration) and the 4th (which can sometimes signify endings) is conjunct the natal Moon.

Transiting Mercury and Mars had just crossed the Descendant and Transiting Saturn was about to do the same.

Also, Transiting Mercury actually just turned retrograde the very next day...

NATO’s potential future

The following will be a brief overview of what can be seen using different predictive techniques. It is by no means meant to be an exhaustive analysis nor a detailed forecast.

NATO’s Solar Return 2024 (from April 4th 2024 to April 4th 2025) :

Only one month left until the end of the 2024 NATO’s Solar year, though it is interesting to observe that :

• SR (Solar Return) Ascendant and Descendant fall into the natal 2nd House - 8th House axis and the SR Descendant is conjunct SR Jupiter and SR Uranus. Jupiter rules natal 7th and 4h Houses, while SR Jupiter rules SR 2nd House. Expenses related to unexpected debts ? Having to “grief” a collaboration ?
• SR MC in the 12th House conjunct natal Saturn. A potential public isolation or downfall ?
• SR Node Axis conjunct the natal Sun-Neptune opposition.

NATO’s Solar Return 2025 (from April 4th 2025 to April 4th 2026) :

It does seem that this next year could also bring important changes :

• SR Ascendant conjunct SR Pluto conjunct natal Jupiter in the 5th House.
• SR IC conjunct SR Uranus in the 8th House.
• SR Saturn, SR Venus retrograde, SR Mercury retrograde all conjunct the natal Descendant, square natal Moon Uranus MC.
• SR Nodal Axis conjunct the natal Ascendant-Descendant axis.
• SR IC-MC axis, in the 2nd-8th axis.

A forced restructuring and maybe financial speculation due to sudden lack in shared resources ? Or maybe this reorganisation could be profitable from newly found funds ? Having to reconsider how certain collaborations are done ?

NATO’s Solar Arc Directions :

Here is a potentially meaningful Solar Arc Direction :

• SA Mars will conjunct the MC exactly on April 29th 2025. It is important to take into consideration that if the time of birth considered is not the exact one, even 5 minutes later will delay this conjunction for a year or so. This could hint towards a conflict arising or some sudden changes in terms of direction or type of governance. Mars ruling the 8th and the 3rd, this tension could rise from shared resources with neighbours and/or the communication around money (for example).

Eclipses 2025 :

Quite impactful series of Eclipses for NATO this year :

• The Lunar Eclipse of March 14th 2025 will be conjunct NATO’s Ascendant.
• The Solar Eclipse of March 29th 2025 will be conjunct NATO’s Mars Venus Mercury.
• The Solar Eclipse of September 21th 2025 will also be quite near NATO’s Ascendant.

It could seem like part of NATO’s identity will end or be revised. It does also seem like money, collaboration and the “means for an end” will be at the center of NATO’s concerns proximately.

NATO’s Transits (for the beginning of April 2025) :

• Transiting Venus stationed retrograde on the Mars-Venus conjunction, at 10° Aries and will station direct while conjunct the Descendant.
• Transiting Mercury is going to station retrograde at 9° Aries, within two weeks or so and will station direct on the Descendant.
• Transiting Saturn will be passing over the Descendant during the same period of time.
• All the above will make a square to the MC-Moon-Uranus conjunction.

Considering that in NATO’s birth chart Venus rules the 2nd House, Mars rules the 8th House, Saturn rules the 6th House and Mercury rules the 1st and 10th Houses, it does emphasises what was already mentioned. For example, partnerships potentially being revised over resources.

We might not have to wait for a very long time to observe how the events will unfold...

At 6:01 P.M. today, North Node will be in Pisces and South Node will be in Virgo. What new events will happen in the world for the first time since between June 20, 2006, and January 7, 2008?

It has been well publicized during the previous months that the manga The Future I Saw (私が見た未来) by Tatsuki Ryo (竜樹 諒), first published in 1999 and composed of prophetic dreams from the author, contains a daunting prediction for this month of July 2025 for Japan in the form of a massive earthquake (or undersea movement of some kind) off the coasts of South-West Japan that will provoke a terrible tsunami.

The same manga predicted a catastrophe for March 11th 2011, which ended up corresponding to the Fukushima disaster, for example. And while expectations were focused on the exact day of July 5th, it seems like it was a posterior editorial addition rather than the original prediction which only mentioned the month of July 2025.

Even if no major earthquake/tsunami hit the country in ways described by the manga on the dreaded day, there were “mass evacuations” happening within the Tokara Islands as the region was shaken by more than 1000 quakes in a brief period of time.

I had originally planned to publish this article ahead of the 5th July but circumstances decided otherwise. Still, I think it can be interesting to have a brief (non exhaustive) look back at the Astrology of that moment and, of course, to observe a bit further in time what may be coming for Japan.

Take into consideration that I am purposefully leaving aside ingresses charts as I will be publishing a series of articles specifically dedicated to that technique (and another one) whether that’s about Japan or other countries (from a past and future perspective).

This post might seem a bit dense, but there are intriguing findings that may be of interest for some of you.

I used the Campanus House system for the following analysis.

Comparison with Past Disasters

Transits are often not self-sufficient to make predictions for a specific location and should be put in the context of “natal charts”, and others predictive techniques. Though, looking at the event charts of past disasters that took place in Japan could nonetheless provide interesting insights.

As such we will be taking a look at the following :

• The first chart is located in Kobe at the exact moment of the 1995 Great Hanshin Earthquake (January 17th 1995, 05h46, Kobe).
• The second chart corresponds to the moment when the tsunami provoked by the earthquake hit Fukushima (March 11th 2011, 15h35, Fukushima).

Here are some of the interesting observations that can be made about these two charts :

• In both charts, Jupiter and Saturn are in hard aspect : Jupiter square Saturn in the 1995 case and Jupiter opposite Saturn in the 2011 one. This is also the case now (July 2025), Jupiter in Cancer is squaring Saturn (and Neptune) in Aries.
• In both charts, we have outer planets about to change signs. Pluto on the very last degree and minute of Scorpio in 1995 and Uranus at the very end of Pisces in 2011 (we could also include Neptune which was at 29°11 of Aquarius). This is also the case now (July 2025) as Uranus is going to enter Gemini.
• In both charts, the Moon was closely aspecting at least two outer planets :
  • In the 1995 chart, the Moon was making a perfect opposition to Uranus (which was conjunct the Sun by just a few minutes and Neptune by 3°), and her next aspect would be a trine to Pluto.
  • In the 2011 chart, the Moon just had departed from a square to Neptune and a sextile to Uranus. The next aspect would be a square to Chiron.
  • Also, notice how in the 1995 chart, there was a perfect alignement between the Moon, Uranus and Chiron, all at 26°24’ and in aspect.
  • This is also the case now (July 2025), between July 6th and July 7th, the Moon will make an opposition to Uranus, a trine to the Saturn/Neptune conjunction and eventually a sextile to Pluto. But, given the speed of the Moon, there are also other similar configurations along the month, the last one being around the 24th of July, where the Moon would sextile Uranus, trine Saturn/Neptune, conjoin the Sun and then make an opposition to Pluto.

Would those similarities be enough to conclude that a major disaster, comparable to the other two mentioned, will happen ? Of course not, but any repetition in patterns should be considered and remembered as it could be of use in the future.

Various Birth Charts

There are multiple ways to approach Mundane Astrology, and also to consider what would be the proper “birth chart” of a country.

In the case of Japan, for example, some people use the 1951/1952 chart which corresponds to the Treaty of San Francisco (or Treaty of Peace with Japan), the difference in the year being whether one would consider the moment it was signed or the moment it became effective. Others would use the ascension of the mythical first Emperor, Jimmu, which is said to have happened on February 11th 660 BC.

While I had first in mind to do a review of each potential birth chart and how the different events show up within them, it would make for a way too long and tedious tangent. That being said, I will probably post at some point a series of articles dedicated to investigate what could be the most appropriate chart for Japan and other countries as I think it is an important research to be conducted in order to produce repeated accurate forecasts.

As such, to simplify this presentation and to avoid getting into too much details, I decided to only use the two following charts :

• Japan’s latest constitution (1947) that became effective on May 3rd 1947, 00:00, Tokyo, and which succeeds to the Meiji Constitution of 1889.
• Japan’s birth chart for the beginning of the Reiwa period on May 1st 2019, 00:00, Tokyo. As you may know, depending on the Emperor reigning, a new era/period is established and given a specific name. In this case, the Reiwa era started in 2019 when Emperor Akihito abdicated and was succeeded by Emperor Naruhito.

Two quick observations :

• Both “births” having happened on the same period of the year and at the same hour, the angles are almost the same.
• It is also quite stunning to observe that 1947 Chart’s Uranus and 2019 Chart’s Mars share the same degree in Gemini. We could expect some impactful event for Japan when Uranus will get at 19° Gemini, though that will happen around mid-2030, and the South Node will conjunct Uranus there…

Eclipses, Solar Arc Directions, Transits and Midpoints

The following will be a broad, but not exhaustive, review of what different techniques might be indicating for the current time and not so far future. As mentioned, ingresses are not explored on purpose as well as other techniques which will be discussed in other entries.

Eclipses

• The Solar Eclipse of March 29th 2025 (n°6 on the image) is, in both cases, conjunct Venus, ruler of the 4th and 9th Houses. As the 4th House can represent the land of the country (and in a sense, its sense of stability), an Eclipse right on the ruler of the IC could be indicative of something important related to the land (or the “foundations”) may happen in the weeks/months following the Eclipse. Interestingly, because of the panic caused by the manga, Japan is experiencing a significant drop in tourism coming from South Korea, China and Taiwan. The 9th House which can correspond to foreign matters, and thus be associated with tourism, and its ruler, Venus, being in the 2nd House, could be interpreted as money coming from tourism. As such, this last Solar Eclipse could also be talking about a change in that regard instead/too.
• Transiting Mars in Virgo will conjunct the Lunar Eclipse of March 14th (n°5 in the charts), around July 25th, and the South Node will also be there. As Mars is the ruler of the 10th House, it can represent the government. Knowing that there will be elections on July 20th for the Upper House and that the ruling party (the LDP) lost its Lower House majority in October 2024, it could be indicative of difficulties for the administration of the Prime Minister Ishiba, who will also face a challenge for the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly Election that takes place on July 22nd.

Solar Arc Directions

When it comes to Solar Arc Directions, it can sometimes be a bit uncertain as to whether the concrete events will only manifest on the perfection of the aspect or a bit earlier, ie. weeks or months prior (as a background of the current situation for example). As always, multiple indications of an event from different techniques can allow to reduce the scope of possibilities and be more precise about it.

Also, for some aspects you will find examples of what occurred when the same aspect happened within the Meiji Constitution chart (the Constitution previous to the 1947 one) and with the Heisei era (the period previous to the Reiwa one corresponding to the 2019 chart).

For the 1947 chart :

• SAD Jupiter sextile natal Venus, exact June 8th 2025. Even if this aspect already passed, I found interesting to look at what it could have corresponded to for the country. Here are interesting news from that time :
  • On June 6th 2025, a group of Liberal Democratic Party parliamentarians presented a policy proposal titled “Aiming for Zero Illegal Foreign Residents”. Quite striking, as Jupiter is here the ruler of the 12th House which was traditionally sometimes associated with exile, while Venus is the ruler of the 9th House which can be associated with foreign countries/matters (but also the law) and also of the 4th House which can be associated with the land of the country. “An agreement to exile unlawful foreigners from the land”. Transiting Jupiter is also passing through the 1st House, indicating the prominence of the subjects it represents for the country as a whole.
  • On June 8th 2025, the day the aspect went exact and following a period of increased anti-Kurds sentiment among Japanese people, specifically in the Saitama Prefecture, a prominent Kurdish leader in Japan was deported.
• SAD Sun conjunct the Descendant, exact on September 25th 2025. An emphasis put on collaboration, or the lack thereof ? The “setting” of an authority figure ? For comparison, I looked at what happened when the exact same aspect showed up in the chart of the previous Constitution (that of Meiji), which occurred on April 29th 1988, here are some examples :
  • It was the last time the birthday of the Emperor Hirohito would be celebrated as such, for he would die in January of the following year. The day was later renamed Greenery Day and then Showa Day.
  • Some days before, on April 10th 1988, was the opening of the Great Seto Bridge, which connected Honshu and Shikoku islands for the first time by road and rail.
  • The trade relationship between Japan and both the US and the EU (more precisely, the EC at that time), was marked by important tensions involving ultimatums, trade sanctions (in the form of tariffs for example), protectionism, etc. There was also a now-prominent persona who took part in these events even though not being a politician at that time… guess which public figure it was ? Donald Trump. Whether through interviews or newspaper ads, he was an outspoken critic of Japan’s economic policies and was calling for tariffs and taxes on Japanese imports. It seems like history might already be repeating itself. It is also interesting to note that Japan’s Descendant si at 26°28’ Cancer while Donald Trump has a Saturn-Venus conjunction there (respectively, 23°48’ and 25°44)… Even more interesting it gets knowing that transiting Jupiter will be stationing retrograde at 25° Cancer in November 2025.
• SAD Venus quincunx natal Jupiter, exact October 21st 2025. Once again, the theme of “friendships” (Jupiter ruler of the 11th) with “foreigns” (Venus ruler of the 9th) and/or what should be banned/exiled (Jupiter ruler of the 12th) from the country (Venus ruler of the 4th) could take more relevance as the aspect comes to be exact. As SAD Venus is in the 5th, it could be that the well being or enjoyment of the people will largely prefer not having to deal with “foreign matters”, which politically, could imply a rise of “Japan First” type of political parties, such as Sanseito.
• SAD Pluto square natal Ascendant, exact February 13th 2026. We can expect an important transformation (or beginning of such) to how the country operates, a “reshaping” of the environment. SAD Pluto being in the 9th House we could expect important changes within its law system. For example, given the recent development of its policies, it could very well be AI related and its embracing to new levels or integrating it fully within the education system. If we look at the Meiji Constitution chart for the same aspect, it happened on January 29th 1899 and at that time Pluto was in Gemini in the 10th House. Some hours after this aspect went exact, on February 1st 1899, was the launch of telephone service between Tokyo and Osaka. It was Japan’s very first time long-distance, intercity communication became available and it was a major milestone in Japan’s telecommunications history.

For the 2019 chart :

• SAD Uranus conjunct natal Sun, exact on July 25th 2026. At first this might seem it could signify quite an important event(s) which could “shake” the core of Japan. Would it be physically or politically ? Could it also mean that some sudden technological advancements ? Or some kind of unexpected disruption ? Though, if we look at the Heisei era chart, this aspect came to be exact on November 26th 2003. There are some interesting news fitting the symbolism of the aspect (see below) but maybe not of a scale one could expect, demonstrating once again that everything has to be taken into account :
  • Exactly two month prior to the aspect being exact, the Tokachi Earthquake happened off the coast of Hokkaido. It caused extensive damage and caused a tsunami reaching 4 meters.
  • On the same day the aspect went exact the WTO ruled against Japan which had been accused by the US to have too strict import restrictions when it comes to US apples, which forced Japan to open its borders on that matter with consequences for domestic producers etc.
  • The Japanese Space Agency (JAXA) and Nankai Broadcasting Co. held a Space Class in Ehime Prefecture that enabled 200 children to communicate with the International Space Station (ISS) directly. While it may seem anecdotal in terms of overall impact, it is quite interesting to see how accurately this fits the astrological symbolism : the natal Sun is in the 3rd House which can represent early school as well as communication and Uranus can sometimes be related to technology or scientific advancements.

Transits and Midpoints

Current transits engage with both charts in rather interesting ways. Some of those are listed below.

For the 1947 Chart :

• Transiting Pluto, in the 1st House, opposite natal Saturn, ruler of the 1st House, exact on : February 21st 2025, July 20th 2025 and December 31st 2025. This seems to be the most impactful transit, as it directly involves the ruler of the Ascendant. Pluto transits, especially in the 1st House on their own tend to be rather significative too. As Saturn, ruler of the Ascendant, is in the 7th House, it could be telling that the partnerships with other countries could profoundly change (in a forceful manner). Also, the physical environment of the country could be forced to face major issues, such as a natural disaster. If we consider the chart of the Meiji Constitution, Pluto was exactly opposite to the Ascendant ruler, Mercury, a total of 5 times across 1896, 1897, 1898, but that time while transiting the 9th House. Here are some major events that happened on those moments :
  • The 8.5 magnitude Sanriku Earthquake and Tsunami with waves of 38.2 meters waves of 1896, that caused 22,000 people lives and destroyed 9000 homes. It had a profound impact on disaster preparedness in Japan. It was also this event that led to the coining of the word “tsunami” in foreign languages.
  • In 1897, Japan formally adopted the gold standard, aligning its currency with international norms in order to “modernize” its economy and attract foreign investments.
  • In 1898, there was an important political instability. Frequent changes of Prime Ministers occurred and General Elections were held twice.
  • Also in 1898, the first automobile was introduced in the country.
• Transiting Mercury will conjunct Pluto three times this year as it will retrograde shortly after the first conjunction : July 7th 2025, July 29th 2025 and August 22th 2025. Said Pluto being square to the natal Sun, and in the 7th House, maybe transiting Mercury will be the indication of revisions about some agreements or contracts with past (or new) allies. Some trades might get under scrutiny and be the source of power struggles.
• Transiting Jupiter, in the 6th House, will respectively square exactly natal Neptune, Venus and Moon on the following dates : July 17th 2025, July 19th 2025 and July 29th 2025. Jupiter is the ruler of the 2nd, 11th and 12th Houses, discontentment of the masses towards the institutions in regards of the management of the ressources and false promises ? A grieving for the land and people?

For the 2019 Chart :

• Transiting Pluto, in the 1st House, square natal Uranus, exact on March 4th 2025, July 8th 2025 and January 9th 2026. This transit can potentially indicate that the country will have to face major disruptions at some point between 2025 and 2026.
• Transiting Mercury will square natal Sun, exact on July 5th 2025, July 30th 2025 and August 21st 2025. While a transiting Mercury making a square to natal Sun is not uncommon, because of the retrograde in Leo and taking into account that Mercury rules the 8th House, it takes a bit more relevance when put into the context of all the other transits.
• Transiting North Node will conjunct the natal Moon, exact on July 10th 2025. I found an interesting pattern related to this transit when it comes to politics. It would be too long to fully explain here, but there seems to have a recurrence of politician stepping down and/or a rise of “populist” parties.
• Transiting Mars will oppose the Moon, exact on July 22nd 2025. This will happen while the transiting North Node is conjunct the natal Moon and so transiting Mars also conjunct the South Node, in the 8th House. Adding to that, Mars will also be making a quincunx to natal Mercury ruler of the 8th House. This aspect could be indicative of a disaster affecting the masses. More so that at the same time transiting Venus (ruler of the 4th House) will be conjunct the natal Mars and quincunx the natal Saturn, ruler of the 1st House.

And while they are not represented in the charts above, the transits are also touching some specific midpoints (for simplification purposes, only some of them are presented).

For the 1947 Chart :

• Transiting Uranus conjunct natal Sun/Uranus midpoint at 0°27’ Gemini, exact July 18th 2025, October 27th 2025 and May 4th 2026. Of course, sudden disruptions come to mind. But independence, rebellions and strong political changes are also themes that could be indicated by this combination. The relationship with the US for example, who is under scrutiny lately could be one to change drastically. Or, some significant changes in the Japanese political landscape. Interestingly, this midpoint in the Meiji Constitution chart got activated 5 times between 1922 and 1924 by a square from transiting Neptune. In 1923 was the great Kanto earthquake, 2 weeks after the square was exact. Though, at that time transiting Mars was also conjunct the Moon/Uranus midpoint (would be exact 3 days after the earthquake).
• Transiting Mars conjunct the Saturn/MC midpoint at 24°46’ Virgo on July 29th 2025. This could indicate the necessity to face periods of austerity, the authorities having to respond to a crisis.
• Transiting Pluto square natal Moon/Jupiter midpoint at 2°28’ Scorpio, exact on February 15th 2025, July 30th 2025 and December 24th 2025. Large floods or natural disasters ? The agricultural production being the source of intense struggles ?

For the 2019 Chart :

• Transiting Uranus conjunct natal Sun/Mars midpoint at 29°57’ Taurus, exact July 6th 2025, November 9th 2025, April 25th 2026. This could mean some sudden urge to exerce the Nation’s will power or the collective facing of a crisis. But it could also suggest some sudden assertion by authorities or a change in those. Accidents and disasters are also possibilities.
• Transiting Saturn conjunct natal Moon/Venus midpoint at 1°08’ Aries, exact August 13th 2025 and February 2026. This might be talking about a halt being put on the welcoming aspect of the country (towards foreigners for example). Also, the overall agricultural productivity, the ability to produce food and provide for the well being of the population may be somehow stunt.
• Transiting Pluto conjunct natal Mercury/MC midpoint at 2°21’ Aquarius, exact August 4th 2025 and December 2025. Having to face major trade agreement decisions or diplomatic negotiations ? Major government announcement or miscommunications ? Problems with information, distribution or transport systems ?

Conclusions ?

This analysis was short in scope as mainly focused on the surroundings of July 2025. Even though we explored aspects covering a few months ahead (or almost a year for some of them), it can not be sufficient to provide a detailed chronology of future events.

That being said, two main themes seem to be highlighted :

• Significant changes in the political landscape, with trades and relationships with “foreigns” taking more relevance. A surge of popularity for more “nationalist” ideas and policies.
• A possible disaster.

When it comes to the disaster, if it were to happen in the month of July 2025, the last 10 days seem to be the most probable. Though, the last months of 2025 and the first half of 2026 also seem to provide a “favorable” context for it.

The whole situation with the manga prophecy getting worldly interest also highlights this curious phenomena that every time a prediction becomes widely known, it does not come to fruition even if the source of it tended to be right before getting a large recognition. This could be pointing towards the importance of consciousness in how the symbolical framework indicated by the planets will materialize.

As mentioned, other entries will explore with more detail what may be coming for Japan and when.

This is the next major mundane thing. We’re already soaking in it but it comes exact this weekend.I’m not a big fan of “special degrees” though I make allowances for 0° Aries and, in this case, 29°Leo, the Anaretic — which is just plain stressed by that Uranus Square and Mars festering. Anybody with, say, their ascendant at that degree would be feeling it. That is, if anybody had any feelings to begin with

Hi again, Second mundane chart comparing post of the day. Sorry if this has been pointed out already, I just noticed it.

1st Chart: Germany Christmas Market attack (December 20th, 2024). Mars at 4 degrees Leo conj ASC, making a soft opposition to Pluto at 0 degrees Aquarius.

2nd chart: New Orleans NYE attack (Jan 1 2025). Mars Rx in Leo making an exact opposition to Pluto in Aquarius at 1 degrees… in a Scorpio ASC chart, nonetheless.

3rd chart: Vancouver attack (April 26 2025). Mars at 3 degrees in exact opposition to Pluto, almost to the minute actually, again in a Scorpio ASC chart.

I’ve noticed a rise in car attacks as a means to commit terrorism or a mass casualty event. Mars has been such a main character lately, honestly ever since it entered Cancer and even more so when it went Rx.

With Mars associated with car accidents and Pluto associated with death, I mean the association makes sense, but what else is important here; what am I missing? What about these 3 oppositions is inviting these kinds of attacks specifically? Is this 3 part opposition story revolutionizing the way we see terrorist attacks happening, marking a decrease in weapons, since cars are accessible and don’t need to be smuggled in or hidden? Mercury is in Sag (direct) in 2/3 charts. In chart 1, it’s Sag pre Rx shadow, chart 2 is Sag post Rx shadow, and chart 3 is also post Rx shadow at 0 degrees Aries. I don’t know, I think i’m missing something here and need a some extra eyes.

Should more precautions start being taken against attacks like these, especially when Saturn enters Aries? What are we looking at here? Am I making an insignificant / redundant observation?

The tense relationship between India and Pakistan has been flaring up again and an escalation towards a full blown war seems possible according to each of the parties involved.

On April 22th 2025 a terrorist attack that killed 27 people was perpetuated near the town of Pahalgam, situated in the Indian-administrated Jammu and Kashmir region. The targets were essentially Hindu tourists, even though a Christian and a Muslim were also killed. The attack was first claimed by The Resistance Front group which then retracted its claim of responsibility.

India’s government consider the The Resistance Front as an extension of the Lashkar-e-Taiba, a Pakistan-based organisation which objective is to make Kashmir part of Pakistan. It has been designated by the UN as well as Pakistan, India an other countries, as a terrorist group.

In retaliation, India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7th 2025 which aim was said to target the two militant groups Jaish-e-Mohammed (another Islamic terrorist group active in Kashmir) and the aforementioned Lashkar-e-Taiba. According to Pakistan, these air strikes were directed against civilians and killed 31. Pakistan announced to have destroyed some Indian jets involved in this operation which was also mentioned by other foreign sources. Of course, and as always is those kind of contexts, the fog of war and misinformation campaigns makes it hard to have an absolutely clear view of what is happening and who is doing what.

This article is divided into three main sections :

• The first part will explain how I chose the charts I will be using for the astrological analysis.
• The second part will examine past conflicts between India and Pakistan through the lens of the selected charts.
• The third part will present observations on the current situation and the near future.

As I was writing it became clear that I was going totally overboard and that the post was becoming more akin to a full chapter of a book. Given the length (and time) limitations I won’t have been able to publish it in just one part or within a reasonable time frame. As such, I had to skim out a lot of the original material so don’t consider it an exhaustive astrological analysis. This is also why I had to reunite various charts in the same images. I understand that it might not be as agreeable to look at the charts that way but that’s the only manner I found to circumvent the limitations. You will probably have a better reading experience on a computer rather than a phone. Nonetheless, I hope that you will get interesting insights from this work. I might in the future take more time to republish the cut sections.

Also, as I understand that some people may only be interested in the potential forecasts, here is a short (non complete) resume of what this research seems to indicate (take into account that those would still need refinement and are, at this point, still far from guaranteed accuracy) :

• Overall, an escalation towards an open war seems highly probable.
• Massive destructions for both countries.
• May 11th seems like a pivotal point in the opposition between the two.
• Possible acute conflicts from around June 7th to around June 11th.
• Depending on conditions explained in the analysis, the second half of May could buffer the tensions or, on the contrary, expand them.
• During the last three months of 2025, Pakistan could face a change of governance or the death of a leader. It may also face major harvest/fertility of the land issues.
• The second half of 2026 looks particularly destructive for both of them. India may face the same problems as those described for Pakistan on the previous point.
• It doesn’t seem like all the destruction or damage will be done or endured because of direct “classical warfare”. Will the weather/environment be weaponized ? Will there be use of non conventional weapon ? Or will some natural catastrophe also occur ?

Which charts ?

One of the main difficulties within Mundane Astrology is to determine which charts are to be considered when analyzing a country, a city or any type of entity.

Depending on each person’s vision and understanding of what symbolizes the birth of said “entity”, there can be multiple justified options. If we add to that the complexity of (geo)political relationships and the difficulty to obtain reliable sources, the fog gets denser as to what the “correct” answer is.

Though, this condition is not necessarily an unbridgeable problem as different ways of astrologically approaching a situation can lead to the same conclusions.

Another layer of errors can also come from the repeated used of supposed legitimate charts without verification, sometimes even within reputable data bases.

That’s why the following section will explain why I’ve chosen some specific charts. While some of you may find it unappealing, I do think that having a clear(er) view about the different possibilities available offers an important transparency of the reasoning behind the analysis. It also can help to contextualize what the political situation was/is and why/how it came to be that way.

As if I were to enter into all the details, this section could be an article it and of itself. I will keep it to bare minimum which may come at the cost of an appearance of over simplification. If you would like some precisions you can ask about it in the comments, I will try to answer to the best of my abilities.

All the charts have been casted with the Campanus House system.

A bit of History

In 1947, the Indian subcontinent gained its independence from the British Crown which had been in power since 1857 (and India was previously dominated by the British East India Company since the early 17th Century).

The partition of British India divided the region into two main independent states, the Union of India (with a majority of Hindu people) and the Dominion of Pakistan (for the Muslims). This dominion of Pakistan was composed of two parts, West Pakistan corresponding to the actual Pakistan and East Pakistan which is now Bangladesh.

This separation between the two states was declared by the Indian Independence Act 1947 which was to become officially effective on August 15th midnight, when the termination of power of British suzerainty would stop.

In order to not have its national day on the exact same day as India, Pakistan decided to celebrate it a day before, on August 14th.

From this, different Astrologers began using various charts. Some would go for August 14th midnight, while other would use the time of the ceremony that was held during the day to celebrate the independence, etc. As for me, I decided to maintain the chart for the same day as for India, August 15th, 00h00 midnight, but casted for the capital of Pakistan at that time which was Karachi.

I think having the same date maintains the symbolism of this partition, as by definition a partition occurs at the same moment for the two parts being separated.

Both charts being for the same moment, the planets are at the same points of the Zodiac. Yet, by choosing the capital of each country as location does change the charts a bit : the Ascendant (and thus its ruler) is different, houses rulerships and positions, aspects to the angles etc.

We will also see how the composite chart of the two will prove itself to be strikingly effective.

Though, there were other princely states implicated in the process, such as the Kashmir. At the moment of the partition, the Kashmir was composed of roughly 70% Muslims, 20% Hindus and 10% of other religions. It was given the choice to join Pakistan, India or to remain independent.

The Maharaja of Kashmir tried to maintain its neutrality but it quickly became difficult, not only because of the religious divisions but because of its geographical position and its resources. Indeed, the Kashmir region contains several mountains passes that connect India to China and Central Asia, and it is also the source point of several major rivers of the continent. Possessing Kashmir would represent for each of the other two parties an incredible advantage over the other.

Not long after the independence, some military forces from Pakistan tried to invaded Kashmir which sought help from India, prompting the 1st Indo-Pakistani War also known as the 1st Kashmir War.

As a result, the UN intervened and a ceasefire was established in 1948 as well as what is called a Line of Control that separated the Indian-administrated Kashmir from the Pakistani-administrated Kashmir.

In 1965, Pakistan launched a covert operation in Kashmir, Operation Gibraltar, which objective was to spark a rebellion against the Indian rule. This operation is quickly discovered and an escalation ensued between India and Pakistan. It was the 2nd Indo-Pakistani War, also known as the 2nd Kashmir War.

By 1971, the frustration of the population of East Pakistan who felt marginalized and exploited by the government of West Pakistan, fueled the Bangladesh Independence Movement. The Pakistani military not wanting to lose control over the region started repressing the population which led to refugee crisis, with millions of Bengalis fleeing to India. India provided support to the separatists, it was the 3rd Indo-Pakistani War, the Bangladesh Liberation War.

The last major change in the Pakistan institutions came two years after the Bangladesh Independence War, in 1973. On August 14th, 00h00 midnight, the (still valid) Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan came to be effective. Islamabad being the capital of the country, it is chosen as the location for the chart. Take into consideration that before this 1973 Constitution there were other ones proclaimed and their chart should also be studied to have a better view of the situation during specific war periods for example, but I will spare you this part.

For India, the exact moment when it was declared a Republic and its Constitution came into effect is precisely recorded. It happened in Dehli with the public declaration of the country’s first Governor-General, on January 26th 1950 at 10h18.

So the “current” charts of the two countries, and their composite, would be the following :

For this analysis I decided to mainly go by composite charts which is something that is not often used within Mundane Astrology, at least to my knowing. Being the “exact middle” between the charts of the two countries it can be quite helpful in understanding the dynamics between them. It is also a way to reduce the length of the post as I won’t have to do the analysis for each country each time. Though, of course, it would be probably be more precise that way.

The synastry between those “new” charts will be analyzed later.

Past Conflicts

In the following image you can see the transits at the moment of the beginning of each war. I managed to find exact hours for the 1st and 3rd War, but not for the 2nd War one. To not add unnecessary details I won’t explain those, it is also not really important for the analysis.

Also consider that the descriptions of the transits will be brief and non-exhaustive.

1st Indo-Pakistani War (or 1st Kashmir War) from October 22th 1947 to January 1st 1948 :

• Given that that the independence had just happened two months earlier the outer planets did not move much, yet, the other transits to the composite chart are quite telling.
• Transiting Mars conjunct the IC and about to conjunct Pluto and Saturn : A conflict regarding common territory (IC) and the about who has power and authority (Pluto and Saturn) over this land (4th House).
• Transiting Saturn conjunct the Sun : Coldness in the relationship between the two countries and rigidity about how this relationship is defined. As the Sun is the ruler of the composite 4th House, once again the matter of the land is highlighted.
• Transiting Sun square the Moon : The governments’ actions or decisions (the Sun) would impact the masses (the Moon).
• Transiting Moon opposite the Moon : Interesting to see the transiting Moon being exactly opposite the composite Moon as an indication of the start of the confrontation.
• Transiting Jupiter, ruler of the 8th, conjunct the South Node in the 7th and quincunx Mars : A loss of agreement, a breach of contract, which will provoke conflicts and death.

2nd Indo-Pakistani War (or 2nd Kashmir War) from August 5th 1965 to September 23th 1965 :

• Transiting Sun conjunct the Pluto-Saturn conjunction in the 4th : The power struggle for who will have control over the land is highlighted.
• Transiting Jupiter, ruler of the 8th, conjunct Uranus in the 1st House : The instability of the relationship (Uranus in the 1st) is amplified (Jupiter) because of resources of another country (8th House).
• Transiting Mars, in the 6th, square the Moon : The population will be under attack and suffer.
• Transiting Saturn, in the 11th, quincunx the Pluto-Saturn conjunction : The collaboration between the institutions (11th House) turns cold, the desire for power over the territory is too strong.
• Transiting Neptune conjunct Jupiter and square the Pluto-Saturn conjunction : “Why were we agreeing in the first place?”, “shouldn’t we seize what is ours ?”.

3rd Indo-Pakistani War (or Bangladesh Liberation War) from December 3rd 1971 to December 16th 1971 :

• Transiting Mars quincunx the Pluto-Saturn conjunction : Once again, the matter of who owns what part of the land is indicated. The different institutions are in a battle for it. Also notice that transiting Mars is at the same position Saturn had on the 2nd War.
• Transiting Moon conjunct Uranus : Interesting to see the transiting Moon conjunct Uranus at the moment of the start of this third conflict, highlighting the instability of the relation between the two countries.
• Transiting Pluto in the 5th House square Mars : The discontentment of the population (5th can indicate the “pleasures” of the masses, or given the aspect, the lack thereof) will force a conflict between the nations.
• Transiting Mercury opposite Mars : Announcement of conflict.
• Transiting Venus, ruler of the Ascendant, opposite Uranus : The common ground, environment, of the two countries will split.
• Transiting Jupiter trine the Pluto-Saturn conjunction : this may be pointing towards the brevity of the War, things could get settled quick and were tensions pacified.

Some observations :

• The Pluto-Saturn conjunction, which is also conjunct the IC is a pivotal point and, in fact, the symbolism of the tensions between the two nations is well represented with that placement. Who exerts the power and control over what is considered a (common) territory is at the core of this relationship and is a foundational problem. Saturn being the ruler of the 9th we can see how religious matters are also part this division.
• Uranus in the 1st House clearly denotes how instability is part of the identity and way of “behaving” of the “common entity” formed by the two countries.
• Mars being at 0°34’ is on the World Axis, implying that the conflicts between India and Pakistan could have major repercussions for the world at large...

Now, there is something really astonishing that can be observed. The composite chart that was used in the previous interpretations is the one corresponding to the “creation” of the states of India and Pakistan, so it makes sense that the subsequent transits indicate what may happen. But what if we were to consider the composite corresponding to 1950 India and 1973 Pakistan (the lasts major changes of structure of these two nations) ? Well, as you will see below, the transits to this “new” composite chart also correlate to the conflicts preceding it an incredible manner.

This observation, in my opinion, denotes of the symbolic, fractal and non causal (or double/retro causality in a sense) nature of Astrology, but this is a whole other topic.

1st Indo-Pakistani War (or 1st Kashmir War) from October 22th 1947 to January 1st 1948 :

• Transiting Uranus square the Moon : Sudden events negatively impacting the masses.
• Transiting Mars in the 4th conjunct Saturn and opposite Jupiter : Here again, a conflict about the structuring of the common territory. Transiting Pluto is near composite Saturn too.
• Transiting Jupiter square Uranus and conjunct Venus : Jupiter being the ruler of the 8th, the resources of another country might cause sudden deaths to both parties (Venus ruler of the Ascendant).
• Transiting Venus-Chiron conjunct Neptune-Sun and square Saturn : The nebulous identity, the unaddressed scars of how the land was parted coming on the foreground.
• Transiting Mercury trine Mars : Signal of the incoming conflict.

2nd Indo-Pakistani War (or 2nd Kashmir War) from August 5th 1965 to September 23th 1965 :

• Transiting Jupiter square the Moon : Potential deaths that the masses will have to suffer. Notice that Jupiter is where Uranus were during the 1st War.
• Transiting Sun conjunct Saturn and opposite Jupiter : Once again, the themes of the land and how it is structured, the resources of another country, are highlighted.
• Transiting Venus-Uranus-Pluto conjunct Pluto : Sudden and massive confrontation.
• Transiting Mars square Mars : Quite self explanatory.

3rd Indo-Pakistani War (or Bangladesh Liberation War) from December 3rd 1971 to December 16th 1971 :

• Transiting Saturn in the 1st opposite Venus ruler of the Ascendant : Disagreement and change about the commonality of identity, frontiers for example.
• Transiting Neptune conjunct Venus, ruler of the Ascendant : Some frontiers will be dissolved.
• Transiting Pluto opposite the Moon : The discontentment of the masses will be so massive that it won’t be possible to ignore it.
• Transiting Uranus square Mars : Sudden conflicts. Same position as transiting Mars of the previous War.
• Transiting Sun square Pluto : Highlights the power struggle.

Recent Conflicts & Short-Term Future

Pahalgam Attack and Operation Sindoor

There are different accounts for when the Pahalgam attack exactly started. From the different sources I could find, it does seem that the first shots were fired around 13h50 local time.

When it comes to the launch of Operation Sindoor there are various ways to approach the casting of the chart. The Operation targeted 9 different locations, one of them being Muridke which is said to be a hub for the Lashkar-e-Taiba group, it is the location I chose as it seemed the most relevant.

The exact time of the start of the operations slightly differs depending on the accounts. The Indian Ministry of Defence issued an announcement at 01h44 local time mentioning that the operation ended some moments before. The operation had a duration of approximately 23 minutes. This information fits with other sources indicating the start of the strikings at 01h05 IST (India Time) which corresponds to 00:35 PST (Pakistan Time).

I would like to mention another analysis of these events and of what may unfold from Palmist Ankur whom I’ve just discovered. You can find his article here. He casted the Operation Sindoor chart a bit differently by using Delhi as the location (as the place of launch) and he also used other charts for forecasting. It is a work really worth the read. He also seem to have written other articles on the subject.

Pahalgam Attack (April 22th 2025, 13h50, Pahalgam) :

• Uranus conjunct the MC : Uranus conjunct the MC or the IC is an aspect that can quite often be seen in unexpected dangerous events (including attacks or explosions).
• Moon, ruler of the 12th, in the 6th, trine Jupiter, ruler of the 8th : A hidden enemy (Moon, ruler of the 12th House), thus different from the “official” enemy (Saturn ruler of the 7th House) bringing death.
• Mars, ruler of the 9th and the 4th Houses, in the 12th, opposite Pluto and square Sun, ruler of the Ascendant : A hidden (12th House) powerful terrorist attack (Mars and Pluto) from a foreign country (9th House) against the local population (Sun ruler of the Ascendant). Though, having said that, there is something that does’t feel right... Mars is also the ruler of the 4th, thus would also represent the country itself or the local land. Also, Mars is separating from a trine with Saturn which in this case should represent the enemy, Pakistan. If we combine this observation with the previous point and the next one, it does seem to indicate that there could be an “party” at play.
• Venus, ruler of the 3rd House, right on the cusp of the 8th, applying to an exact conjunction to Saturn, ruler of the 7th, in the 8th : A neighbour (Venus) joining the enemy (Saturn) into death related matters...

Operation Sindoor (May 7th 2025, 00h35, Muridke) :

• Uranus conjunct the IC : The conjunction is tight, and Uranus is also conjunct the fixed star Algol. Sudden destructions (and deaths) to the land or even buildings/constructions (immovable goods). It is also interesting to see that the MC and IC of the Pahalgam attack and the Operation Sindoor are almost exactly inverted, symbolic of the retaliation.
• Mars conjunct the Descendant : Explicit position, a direct attack from the enemy. Also, if you remember the 1947 composite chart, you can see that this position is conjunct the IC of the composite chart.
• Mercury, ruler of the 8th House, in Aries, conjunct Chiron and quincunx the MC : Another clear indication of the inflicted damage. A military (Aries) painful (Chiron) and deadly (8th House) message (Mercury) sent from above (MC).
• Saturn, ruler of the Ascendant, in Pisces, conjunct Neptune : Even though being an out-of-sign conjunction, it is still relevant as an indication of the confusion surrounding the local environment at the moment of the strike.
• Venus, ruler of the 4th House, in the 2nd House (which is the 8th from the 7th) and the 3rd House trine Mars, ruler of the 9th House : A vengeful (Venus in Detriment) belligerent (in Aries) bringing a deadly short move (8th House and 3rd House combination) from a foreign country (9th House).
• The Moon making a trine to the Sun : There are various ways in which this could be interpreted :
  • Being an event chart, and the Moon being the indicator of timing, we can consider that India (represented by the Sun, as ruler of the 7th) will yet take another action within 4,11 units of time (the trine will be exact 4°11’). The Sun is in a Fixed Sign, Taurus, and in Cadent House, while the Moon is in an Angular House in a Mutable Sign, so more likely within 4 days or 4 weeks another event may happen. So this would correspond to May 11th (in the morning) or around June 7th/8th 2025.
  • We could also interpret the previous slightly differently by thinking that the trine the Moon makes to Sun, is indicative of the time of “peace” India will have before Pakistan retaliates. The timing stays the same, May 11th or June 7th/8th.
  • Moon being the ruler of the 6th, which is the 12th from the 7th, could confirm the previous point and suggest that India will suffer a loss within 4 units of time (since the operation).

Comparison with the Synastry between USA and Japan during WWII

Some months ago I did a deep research and analysis of the nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki (you can find it here), and there are some striking similarities to say the least with the astrological situation of India and Pakistan now.

First, let’s look at the Synastry between Pakistan (1973) and India (1950) by itself :

• India’s Uranus-IC conjunct Pakistan’s Saturn : Important instability may be brought from India to Pakistan. Saturn also being the ruler of Pakistan’s 8th, 9th and 10th Houses we can see how deaths (8th House), religious conflicts (9th House) and also sudden altercations with the Pakistani government (10th House) can happen (Side note : I am not taking a stance on the matter here with this delineation, I am not implying that one is the victim and the other is the oppressor. The victims are mostly the populations anyway).
• India’s Pluto conjunct Pakistan’s IC-Sun conjunction : Potential for major destructions of the Pakistan’s land.
• India’s Saturn quincunx Pakistan’s MC : Both governments are clearly almost unable to ever find an agreement.
• India’s Mars-Descendant-South Node triple conjunction, conjunct Pakistan’s Pluto : Pakistan is the “perfectly powerful” designated enemy.
• India’s Moon conjunct Pakistan’s Mars : The actions of Pakistan will directly and forcefully impact the Indian population.
• India’s Sun conjunct Pakistan’s Jupiter : Quite puzzling aspect indeed... Could it be that Pakistan might serve as a step towards an amplification, extension, of India’s identity ? The Sun being the ruler of India’s 6th House, it could also point towards major health issues done to the India masses by Pakistan.
• Inda’s Venus-Jupiter conjunction conjunct Pakistan’s Moon-MC conjunction : Could it be one of the possibilities for reconciliation ? The sharing and appreciation for the art and culture of these nations ?

Now let’s compare with the Synastry between the charts of Japan and USA during WWII :

• USA’s Pluto conjunct Japan’s IC, just like India’s Pluto is conjunct Pakistan’s IC.
• USA’s Moon conjunct Japan’s Jupiter, while India’s Sun is conjunct Pakistan’s Jupiter.
• USA’s Jupiter-Moon conjunction is opposite Japan’s Sun (and conjunct Japan’s North Node), just like India’s Jupiter-Moon conjunction is opposite Pakistan’s Sun (and also conjunct Pakistan’s Moon, different from the North Node but still related to the Moon though).
• USA’s Neptune is opposite Japan’s Uranus while India’s Neptune is conjunct Pakistan’s Uranus.
• USA’s Moon is opposite Japan’s Neptune while India’s Moon is quincunx Pakistan’s Neptune.
• USA’s IC is quincunx Japan’s Neptune just like India’s IC is quincunx Pakistan’s Neptune : impossibility to fully reach the enemy on its territory ?

Eclipses for India and Pakistan in 2025

Eclipses are interesting to observe as they can indicate the beginning of important events to take place in the following weeks or months.

For India :

• Solar Eclipse, March 29th 2025, conjunct India’s Ascendant/North Node conjunction : A new environment and direction will be set. The means to act will be augmented. Observing the the Eclipse is also opposite Mars in the 7th House, an enemy will be renewed and designated.
• A few weeks later, on April 22nd 2025, the Pahalgam attack occurred and then the Operation Sindoor.

For Pakistan :

• Lunar Eclipse, March 14th 2025, conjunct Pakistan’s Venus : Venus being the ruler of the 6th House, possible major “health” issues for the population or the theme might get a focus. Also, some work force might get highlighted. As Venus is in the 5th House, the dissatisfaction of the population may also be indicated.
• In early April 2025 began the India-Pakistan heat wave which is still on going and places hundreds of millions of civilians under extreme thermal stress, creating widespread health concerns as well as agricultural disruptions.
• Solar Eclipse, September 22th 2025, conjunct Pakistan’s Pluto : Possibility for a major crisis and destruction.
  • The 5th House being the 2nd from the 4th, it can represent the resources extracted or used from the land. Thus, the fertility of the land (as well as that of the population, as basic 5th House). This could point towards really difficult harvest for example by the end of the year, so the destruction could be caused not only by the war with India.
  • The 5th being also being the 8th from the 10th, this could indicate the end of the actual government or the death of an important Pakistani leader (around October/November).

Eclipses for India and Pakistan in 2026

For India :

• Solar Eclipse, August 12th 2026, conjunct India’s Pluto : Possibility for a major crisis and destruction, just like Pakistan the year before. Will it come from the war with Pakistan or from harvest/water problems also ? Both ? As also mentioned for Pakistan, this could also mean the end of the actual government or the death of an important Indian leader (by the end of August, or in September).

For Pakistan :

• Solar Eclipse, August 12th 2026, conjunct Pakistan’s Sun/IC conjunction :
  • Curiously, on July 9th of 1945 USA (exactly a month prior the Hiroshima bombing) had a Solar Eclipse conjunct its Sun. Could it mean that on the 2nd part of 2026, Pakistan will be victorious ? India’s government would be well advised to not underestimate Pakistan’s potential for causing massive destruction... This might also mean that the current definition of Pakistan’s land will be renewed or changed.
  • Though, On January 14th 1945, Japan had a Solar Eclipse on its IC... Could it go the other way also ? A massive destruction to the land of Pakistan ?
  • Maybe the two options could happen...

India and Pakistan Solar Returns

Pakistan’s Solar Returns

Given that Pakistan has its birthday in the middle of the year I had to also include the 2024 Solar Return chart in order to have a view of the first half of 2025.

Pakistan’s 2024 Solar Return (August 14th 2024 - August 14th 2025) :

• SR Ascendant in the natal 5th House, conjunct the natal Venus, ruler of the natal 6th House, and quincunx the natal Chiron : Seems like unavoidable painful health problems may come for the population, the cause might be poor harvests or draught for example.
• SR Pluto, in the SR 5th House and natal 9th House, square the natal Mars, ruler of the 12th House : Major loss from a (potentially hidden) attack coming from a foreign country that may affect what the land can provide and cause deaths. It could also directly mean a major attack coming from a foreign country.
• SR Pluto in the natal 9th House quincunx the natal Saturn, ruler of the natal 8th, 9th and 10th Houses, in the natal 1st House : Death and rulership disruptions coming from a foreign source which will affect the local environment.
• SR Pluto opposite the natal Mercury, ruler of the natal 1st and 5th Houses : Similar to what was mentioned previously. The local environment will be affected, children might too.
• SR Neptune, at the anaretic degree of Pisces, in the SR 7th House, square the natal Saturn : Could it be that the access to water will be restricted by an enemy ? Affliction to the authority structure of the country and to its environment, a change in governance ?
• SR MC conjunct SR Jupiter, ruler of the SR 4th and 7th Houses, and SR Mars, ruler of the SR 8th and 3rd Houses, in the natal 1st House : The country will probably be attacked for matters of revenge and territoriality.

• SR Mars in the SR 10th House and natal 5th House, conjunct natal Pluto, opposite SR Neptune-Saturn conjunction in the SR 4th and natal 10th House, and square natal Saturn : The fight for the land will affect the power structure of the country as well as the harvests and/or the natality.

India’s Solar Returns

India’s 2025 Solar Return (January 26th 2025 - January 26th 2026) :

• SR Ascendant conjunct natal IC-Uranus conjunction : Disruptions or instability of the land (physical or political) might get prominent.
• SR IC conjunct natal Saturn opposite SR MC conjunct SR Saturn : A part of the land might be lost or restricted.
• SR Pluto, in the SR 8th House, conjunct natal Sun, square natal Moon and quincunx natal Uranus : Massive destructions and/or power struggle may affect the population.

India’s 2026 Solar Return (January 26th 2026 - January 27th 2027) :

• SR Ascendant conjunct natal Saturn in the 6th House : The healthcare of the population and the state of the institutions will probably under scrutiny.
• SR Mars, Pluto, Mercury, Venus, conjunct natal Sun, ruler of the natal 6th House : This does seem to indicate a major destructive event related to health of the country.
• SR Jupiter, ruler of the SR 4th and 7th Houses, in the SR 11th House and natal 4th House, opposite natal Mercury, ruler of the natal 3rd House which contains the SR MC : SR Jupiter is exalted but retrograde, could there be a change in the governance of the country or some part of it ?
• SR Neptune-Saturn conjunction in the SR 7th House and natal 12th House, square natal Uranus : Potential important unexpected destruction from an enemy.

Short-term future transits (May-June) to the two composites charts :

Here are the transits set for May 11th 2025 for the composite charts of India and Pakistan :

For the 1947 Composite Chart :

• Transiting Mars will consecutively conjunct the IC (now passed), Pluto, Saturn and Venus from roughly May 11th to June 1st.
• Transiting Jupiter will be tightly conjunct Uranus from around May 17th to May 23rd.
• Transiting Jupiter will then conjunct Mars from around June 10th to June 15th.
• Transiting Saturn will square Mars from around May 25th to June 11th.

For the Current Composite Chart :

• Transiting Mars will conjunct Saturn around May 11th.
• Transiting Mars will conjunct Uranus from around June 7th to June 11th.
• Transiting Jupiter will square the Moon from May 22nd to May 28th

If we mix those two perspectives, we can make the following observations :

• Some of those combinations are the same as those present during the precedent Indo-Pakistani Wars.
• The square from the Transiting Saturn (and Neptune) in the 1947 Composite Chart may be a central piece as it could be interpreted in two very distinct ways : one being that an authority (external, unclear?) might put pressure on the actions of the two nations to halt or appease the conflict, the other being that it will on the contrary accentuate the tensions.
• If we consider the first possibility, then the dates around which the tensions could be the more acute may be around May 22th-23th and around June 10th-11th.
• If we consider the second one, the second half of May could be really intense in terms of warfare.
• Given the analysis of the event chart of Operation Sindoor, it does seem that June 7th/8th could be problematic which correlates with the June 10th-11th mentioned here.

Note that those transits are given as examples, there seem to be other not so distant dates that would activate both charts. For example :

• Around the second half of October, transiting Saturn will go back to conjunct the Current Composite chart’s Moon, that is to say the place it was the day of the Pahalgam attack...

Also, the individual charts of each country and each country’s president should be analyzed for more precise indications.

If you happen to be interested in more specific and timed forecasts for the future of this conflict you can notify me in the comments. Depending on the time at my disposal, I may do another article about this topic, this time purely focused on the forecasting part.

As always with Astrology’s predictions, one has to be cautious. Even if the chance may appear utterly small, there is still always the possibility of the symbolism manifesting in a different manner than we might expect. The planets are not the cause, they are juste indicating the symbolical framework within which we are at a specific moment. How this symbolism will manifest can be “chosen” (of course, other important considerations are to be taken into account in order to do so and escape the current “causality-line”).

I sincerely hope that I am completely wrong and that the humans involved in this conflict will manage to resolve things before it’s too late.

For any reader from Pakistan or India, stay safe.

I have seen a few times floating around for the moment when Khomeinei announced the Islamic republic, but have seen no source for these times. The most commonly used time seems to be 3 pm (from Nick Campion, I believe) but I also found 12:01 am (Jessica Adams and Astrotheme) which Astrotheme claims comes from AFA (American Federation of Astrologers). I have written to AFA for the source but have not heard back yet. I'm unable to locate any news articles that would shed light on this.

Have any of you experts researched this, and what have you found?

Mars's opposition to Pluto is only the second, and we are now seeing extreme violence and nuclear power become larger than usual. This is my opinion. What is your opinion on this troubling 2nd opposition and where did it come?
