New Moon in Gemini Mundane Chart: Reflections
New Moon in Gemini Mundane Chart: Reflections
The first house of the common people has Cancer on the cusp and is ruled by the Moon. The Moon is in the cadent 12th house. There could be reforms and government help for the aged and poor.
The Moon’s only aspect (aside from its conjunction with the Sun of course) is a sextile with Mars. This could indicate reforms regarding the armed forces; since there seems to be some bipartisan will to undertake gun control measures in the wake of high-profile mass shootings recently, this could relate to gun control reforms.
The Senate passed a bipartisan gun control law. I am unaware of any real attempts to help the aged and poor on a national level.
The second house of national finances has Cancer on the cusp and is ruled by the Moon. As noted above, the Moon is in the cadent 12th, which is a weak placement. This could indicate that the measures intended to help the poor and aged mentioned above may not be as helpful as intended. Student debt relief measures spring to mind here.
.
There have been intermittent debt forgiveness for various people with student loans, which have fallen short of the demands of the Progressives. The economy has been weak, with many saying we are likely to end up in a recession soon.
The third house of communication, publishing, and the internet has Leo on the cusp and is ruled by the Sun. The Sun is placed in the cadent 12th, which is a weak placement, although it receives some support by its sextile to Mars. This sextile supports military reforms, which again could indicate gun control efforts. The third house is the house of the media and communications, and of course President Biden, his political party, and the media are all in favor of gun control measures. There is also still the ongoing war in Ukraine, which is still the focus of a lot of attention.
This prediction seems pretty accurate; the government has continued to push for intervention in Ukraine and the media has kept pushing propaganda on the topic; there was also the passage of the gun control bill.
Biden went on Kimmel for a softball interview, while behind the scenes he is reportedly grousing about staffers walking back his reckless and stupid unscripted comments to media when he slips his leash.
The fourth house of the opposition party and rural areas has Virgo on the cusp and is ruled by Mercury. Mercury is retrograde in the 11th house in Taurus and is afflicted by a close square with Saturn. He’s given some strength by a sextile with Neptune but is generally in poor condition. I expect that the Republicans will be fighting a difficult battle as far as their messaging this month. Mercury’s square with Saturn foretells discontent amongst workers, strikes, mental health issues, and is bad for education. It also indicates that some legislation will be unpopular.
The gun control bill was very unpopular with a lot of right wing voters, and many populists seem pretty frustrated with more mainstream Republicans like Liz Cheney and other “Never Trumpers”.
Mercury’s sextile to Neptune, on the other hand, is a positive sign for writing, especially books on mysticism and psychicism.
I saw no evidence that this was a thing this month, but I didn’t go looking for it either.
The fifth house of entertainment and the Senate has Libra on the cusp and is ruled by Venus. Venus is in Taurus, her sign of rulership, in the 11th house. The House and Senate may work together and actually pass some legislation.
The gun control bill passed. The entertainment industry again had a series of flops (interestingly, the relatively un-woke sequel to Top Gun did quite well at the box office). The Deep-Heard trial ended in a victory for Depp, which falls under the influence of this house although I myself give no craps about any of it.
The sixth house of public health has Scorpio on the cusp and is ruled by Mars. Mars is in his rulership of Aries in the angular 10th house and is sextile the Sun and Moon. He’s also conjunct Jupiter, making him strong in this chart. Unfortunately, this conjunction indicates disputes in religions and churches, deaths of or attacks on doctors, lawyers, and preachers, criticism of hospitals, epidemics, and public excitement over secret crimes. Will this be the month the masses find out what the Covid vaccine is really doing to people? Will the great Monkeypox scare truly turn out to be a new plague? I, for one, can’t wait to see.
Well, the reversal of Roe led to attacks on pregnancy centers and a wave of protests. Monkeypox is still in the news a bit, as are covid variants from time to time. Many people are becoming more cognizant of the failures of the safe and effective vaccines to live up to their billing. On CBS 6/12, CDC data showed people who are “boosted” are getting covid at twice the rate of the non-boosted, an admission that probably should have gotten more notice than it did.
Fauci, noxious turd that he is, got Covid and has been in poor health despite his many vaccinations and boosters. Hopefully he gets better soon so he can be tried for crimes against humanity.
The seventh house of foreign affairs has Capricorn on the cusp and is ruled by Saturn. Saturn is square Mercury and weakened by placement in the cadent 9th house. I’d expect more international messaging problems, and the square with Mercury may indicate more problems with foreign trade and sanctions. The US and its block of allies may find itself increasingly more isolated on the world stage, as Saturn is the planet of limits and Karma.
Attempts to isolate Russia seem to have led to a resurgence in its economy. The US and its vassals conversely, seem to be increasingly isolated from a world that is moving on from US hegemony.
The eighth house of death and foreign money has Capricorn on the cusp and is ruled by Saturn. The greater malefic ruling the house of death seems pretty ominous. There could also be restrictions on foriegn money in some way, either coming in or going out.
We have continued to fund our proxy war with Russia in the Ukraine. Not sure if death rates in the US increased this month.
The ninth house of the judiciary has Aquarius on the cusp and is ruled by Uranus. Uranus is in his fall, which may indicate some nasty surprises from or regarding the courts. Saturn is present here in the 9th house. My take on the planet of eccentricity and breaking of old forms (Uranus) ruling the courts while Saturn is placed within it could indicate an explosive court decision that overturns old and established precedent; Roe vs Wade is an obvious possibility here.
Indeed, the Supreme Court overturned Roe, which has led to calls for insurrection and destruction of norms from the political left. A would-be assassin traveled from California, plotting to assassinate Justice Kavanaugh, while illegal protests at Justice’s homes intended to intimidate them were encouraged by the Administration. Rulings against the EPA and New York’s gun rights restrictions were also incendiary to the political left.
The tenth house of the executive branch has Pisces on the cusp and is ruled by Neptune, who is strengthened by its position in the angular 10th house. Neptune is in his rulership and strengthened by a sextile with Mercury. The executive branch may have some success with messaging this month; given the position of the Sun (the symbol of the executive branch) in the 12th house of institutions, this will probably relate to the reforms that seem to be in the mix this month.
The only successful reforms seem to be the gun control bill. Biden attended the G7 meeting this month and drummed up support among allies for continued efforts against Russia.
The angular tenth house also hosts Mars, which indicates a warlike spirit and potentially military activity. Jupiter is present here as well (forming a close conjunction with Mars, as detailed above). Jupiter in the 10th gives some strength to the executive, but the conjunction with Mars is a pretty ill omen. The executive branch looks like it is in for a mixed month, with some potential successes but also some explosive failures.
With an approval rating in the low 30’s, “explosive failure” seems to sum up Biden’s presidency.
The eleventh house of the lower legislative branch has Aries on the cusp and is ruled by Mars. Mars is quite strong in this chart; there may be bipartisan support for some measure in Congress, possibly something related to martial concerns (my speculation is gun control measures or escalation in Ukraine).
Both of these happened to some extent.
Venus is present in this house, which is also an indicator of bipartisan efforts and is good for women’s interests. (A bit of a wild speculation that is probably extremely politically incorrect; abortion may not line up with Venus’s energies; it’s hard to argue that abortion is loving or positive in the sense of fertility or nurturing of life).
Uranus is present here in the 11th, which suggests the failure of bills and difficult positions. His poor condition implies a malefic effect here. All of the bipartisanship may ultimately fall apart in some contentious fashion at the last minute.
Finally, Mercury is here in the 11th. Seriously afflicted by his square with Saturn and retrograde, this indicates speeches will be made and much public excitement will ensue, but it will be of limited effect. I’d expect a lot of posturing and grandstanding in the halls of Congress that will amount to a lot of hot air.
The January 6th show trial seems to fit the bill here.
The twelfth house of institutions has Taurus on the cusp and is ruled by Venus. Venus is in her rulership in this chart, giving her some strength. The Sun and Moon are conjoined in this house, suggesting a national focus on institutions. As of this writing, it seems likely this will be focused, again, on gun control and trying to reign in large scale shooting events.
Overall, my speculation is that national focus will remain on gun control and other methods to reign in mass killings, but a lot of the efforts may end up being in vain despite results that seem promising to the gun control crowd. Most government action during this time, according to my reading of the chart, will not be far enough for partisans on one side, and too far for partisans on the other. The Supreme Court will bear watching, as explosive rulings seem likely this month as well.
