First, let’s review: When the Sagittarius New Moon kicked off this month’s lunar cycle on December 19, it asked us to plant seeds that would grow into a deeper sense of what our soul knows is truly moral, ethical, & just.
However, this lunation illustrated that this wasn’t going to be easy an easy task. That’s because both luminaries in Sagittarius—partnered with Venus & Juno in Sadge & waxing toward Mars in Capricorn—were square to (read: blocked by) both Saturn & Neptune in Pisces as they attempted to dissolve our moral foundations.
The Sadge Moon & Sun also became the focal part of a yod to both Jupiter retrograde in Cancer & Uranus retrograde in Taurus, indicating adjustments needed to be made to achieve this lunation’s goal.
Meanwhile, Jupiter, the ruler of the Sagittarius New Moon, was square to both wounded healer Chiron & dwarf planet of chaos & discord Eris in Aries, a sign that the path to ethical justice might be strewn with painful & chaotic battles.
Since then, however, the plot thickened when the January 3 Cancer Full Moon implored the Capricorn Sun to have a greater sense of compassion rather than focusing only on what the Sun considered to be “success,” but was stymied by its opposition to the Sun, Venus, & Mars in Capricorn.
Only a few hours after exact, the Cancer Moon conjoined with Jupiter, an aspect many consider lucky. However, given that the conjunctions of the Sun to Venus, Venus to Mars, & the Sun to Mars between January 6-10 are now waxing opposite to Jupiter, we’re looking less at luck & more at a test of our own morality & sense of true justice now.
The point? That this Cancer Full Moon has revealed to us all now with stark clarity that expansively arrogant Jupiterian hubristic actions can pervert our sense of justice by converting it into an indefensible “righteous” mission.
CHIRON DIRECT IN ARIES: CAN THE PEOPLE TAKE BACK THEIR MORAL POWER?
This podcast takes a deep dive into what’s occurred astrologically speaking since the new year began on January 1, when Mercury entered serious Capricorn, wounded healer Chiron stationed direct in Aries on January 2, & we experienced the Cancer Full Moon on January 3.
As the climax of the December 19 Sagittarius New Moon’s energy, the January 3 Cancer Full Moon has highlighted clearly the impediments to achieving what our soul knows deep down to be just, moral, & ethical.
That has come in the form of watching a nation that’s often referred to itself as a world leader in terms of democracy & upholding the rule of law morph into a law breaker in the name of some perverted sense of “justice.”
And, yes, we’re talking about the U.S.’s military incursion into Caracas, Venezuela, in order to kidnap its president Nicolas Maduro—regardless of whether he was illegally elected or not--& his wife in the dead of night, all without Congressional approval.
And, yes, we’re talking about the Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency brownshirt-type goons who smash car windows, break down doors, & haul people suspected of crimes into detention—& often deport them summarily without due process.
But the worst immoral & unethical crime of all is being committed by ICE members when they murder innocent people in the name of “justice,” as just happened twice in Minneapolis, Minnesota, & Portland, Oregon within two days of each other.
The United States was born with Chiron in Aries. That American colonists were originally stymied in their will to act is part of our psychological childhood, since Chiron resides in the U.S. Sibly natal chart’s 4th House of our psychological roots.
The fact that Chiron is now direct tells us that we’re going to be waking up even more to the fact that we’ve been wounded by congressional inaction to right the wrongs of an arrogant president & his administration. And that we most likely will have to fight to regain our freedom from such tyrannical actions.
The recent NPR/Ipsos poll released today illustrates this fact, as it “reveals that while Americans across the political spectrum want the U.S. to be a global moral leader, fewer believe it holds that title today,” according to NPR.
“The survey highlights a significant gap: 61% of respondents believe the U.S. should be a moral leader, while 39% believe it actually is one. The latter figure shows a steep decline from 2017, when 60% of Americans viewed the nation as a moral leader in a similar survey.”
WHO’S MORALITY IS TRULY MORAL? I.E., WHO DIED & MADE YOU GOD?
As we approach tomorrow’s January 10 third quarter “crisis in consciousness” waning square of the Libra Moon to the Capricorn Sun, we can feel the palpable vibe of people continuing to demand fairness & equity, peace & harmony.
That’s in the face of a recalcitrant inflexible president who’s already declared to the New York Times “that he would be the arbiter of any limits to his authorities, not international law or treaties.”
The January 8 article, appearing as we waxed toward today’s January 9 exact Sun/Mars conjunction in Saturn-ruled Capricorn was headlined: “Trump Lays Out a Vision of Power Restrained Only by ‘My Own Morality’”
It continues: “President Trump declared on Wednesday evening that his power as commander in chief is constrained only by his ‘own morality,’ brushing aside international law and other checks on his ability to use military might to strike, invade or coerce nations around the world.
“Asked in a wide-ranging interview with The New York Times if there were any limits on his global powers, Mr. Trump said: ‘Yeah, there is one thing. My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me.’…’I don’t need international law,’ he added. ‘I’m not looking to hurt people.’”
“When pressed further about whether his administration needed to abide by international law, Mr. Trump said, ‘I do.’ But he made clear he would be the arbiter when such constraints applied to the United States.
“’It depends what your definition of international law is,’ he said.
Mr. Trump’s assessment of his own freedom to use any instrument of military, economic or political power to cement American supremacy was the most blunt acknowledgment yet of his worldview. At its core is the concept that national strength, rather than laws, treaties and conventions, should be the deciding factor as powers collide.
“On topic after topic, President Trump made clear that he would be the arbiter of any limits to his authorities, not international law or treaties.”
The question now, as we head toward squares between the Capricorn Venus, Sun, Mars, & Mercury between now and January 16--& Chiron direct in Aries--is whether the pain of U.S. citizens (& others) will be enough to push those in Congress to limit Trump’s self-appointed powers.
More & more people will doubtless realize that this is not what the U.S. Constitution called for at its inception, not what Americans fought & died for since the Declaration of Independence on July 4, & not the kind of freedom & equality for all it should have morphed into by now.
We’ll wait & watch to see what comes when Venus enters Aquarius & Mercury conjoins with Mars in Capricorn by January 17 & 18, as that leads us to the Capricorn New Moon on January 18. It’s then we’ll begin the parade of planets move toward a conjunction with Pluto in Aquarius during the second half of January.
