Summer Solstice 2022: A Turn of Destiny

May 6, 2022

Here's a quick posting of the Summer Solstice 2022 Horoscope located for Washington DC. As you see, US 1776 Mars in Gemini rises (conflicts), transit Mars @20Aries conjuncts US 1776 Chiron ('21Aries': "A Pugilist Enters the Ring"; sacred warrior energy), and it's an Hour of Jupiter (highlighted in green). The chart is entitled, 'Sudden Developments, Power, Resolutions, and A Turn of Destiny'. In process of America's Pluto Return, transit Pluto Rx @28Cap00 is in the Corporate 8th house of Big Bu$iness from where Mr. Wealth and Stealth leads a BOWL shape of planets suggesting a focus on ambition and work issues. So to me it looks as if financial, investment, currency, and employment concerns are atop our summer calendar, in tandem with the ongoing pandemic affecting everything, of course.

Chart-ruler Mercury (highlighted in blue, 12th house, and nearing MIDAS (money issues and concerns), makes no applying aspects in the chart which emphasizes its sign and house positions and Mercury's links to Communications, Travel, Trade and Commerce, Education, and Young People. However, Mercury will soon conjunct US 1776 Uranus (8Gem55). See lower left for a few notes on this transit.

Then in the center of the chart are penned a few potentials regarding the 1st house Sun (00Can00:00; leadership) inconjunct powerful, subversive Pluto, potentials which include power and control issues, obsessive behavior, and/or practiced excuses.

Meanwhile, surreptitious, gaslighting planet Neptune @25Pis25 (10th house) veils Nemesis (hidden foes) and disguises the powerful Pluto-North Node midpoint; this denotes 'success via lies and fraud', along with 'losses' and/or 'disadvantages' (R. Ebertin). Certainly, money is prominent in the horoscope, if I've not made that clear before. And the fact that restrictive Saturn Rx @25AQ02 conjuncts Midheaven ('MC' = the goal) is not exactly comforting for it can indicate ambitious plans without a sound foundation, but can also denote reliable partners in joint ventures, possibly from abroad (9th house). Meanwhile, those who have abused their positions of responsibility won't fare very well with Saturn conjunct MC, and costly lawsuits are suggested.

Now also posited in the visible 10th house is a concern of mine because two difficult midpoints conjunct one another @22-23 Pisces: Mars-Saturn (the death axis - R. Ebertin) and Uranus-Pluto, the planetary duo with potentials for 'old order vs new order', transformation, collapse, revolt, resistance, protests, and workers' strikes (supported by Mercury's Sabian Symbolm, possibly a cosmic picture of unionization struggles). Then if we think of the three Uranus-Pluto conjunctions in the mid-1960s in mid-Virgo, we must unfortunately expect that civil unrest along with the bodily harm of Mars-Saturn energies may be in the offing this summer. After all, no empire lasts forever.
