UK Aries Ingress 2022
Summary
The following Aries Ingress report was written in March 2022 for the United Kingdom. This report includes chart analysis along with the delineations. The report primarily follows methods from Flowers of Abu Ma’Shar, by Abu Ma’shar and Masha’allah On the Revolution of the years of the world, (both Translated by Dr. Ben Dyes) with the majority of the delineations utilise the same wordings as provided in the source texts. I have also applied the ‘Mundane’ Lots following Dr. Ali A Olomi.
I have kept the content of the report unchanged, with only minor formatting of the text for ease of reading. I have added a few comments denoted by the use of [squared brackets], in which I have added reflections and notes on my thinking at the time. The notes add a brief commentary on some of the delineations, which in hindsight were more important than I originally thought at the time of writing. I’ve left the chart analysis in the report so readers can follow the workings out if they wish, and listed the interpretations/predictions following the analysis - these are bulleted and italicised for clarity.
Looking back on this report in 2024 and the events of 2022, I am impressed with the accuracy of the predictions in the report, and the accuracy of the the techniques and delineations as outlined in Flowers and On the Revolutions. Although I find it hard to take pleasure with forecasting the events that we experienced in 2022. The death of a monarch, war in Ukraine, scarcity of goods & foods (inflation) and economic hardship.
The report, and the year itself served as an important lesson for me in different ways. Here, in regards to World Astrology, these lessons are to trust in the process and the texts (and to use interrogations where needed).
For future reports, I intend to spend more time to synthesise the collected delineations and consider what this could signify in our modern world. Whilst incorporating the ingresses into the wider context and of the Great Conjunction. Additionally, the accuracy of the reports would benefit from the in-depth study of charts for countries and leaders whose charts align with signs brought up through the delineations.

Horoscope
Ascendant- Virgo.
Lord. Mercury
Exaltation. Mercury.
Bound. Mercury.
Triplicity rulers. Venus. Moon. Mars.
Mercury is in 7th house. Opposed to the 1st but witnesses the 1st.
The lord, exaltation and bound lord, are all mercury. And they are in the seventh house. Which is configured to the Ascendant so I’d say it was not hostile. Despite being in opposition to the house. Additionally this would set all the rulers in as co-present with each other. So they are not necessarily in conflicting aspects. Although mercury is in its Fall/Advesity in Pisces. Yet it is in its own Bound. This generally would signify detriment in this clime.
Luminary of the sect in Favour (in relation to the Ascendant and it’s lord.)
Day Chat. Sun in 8th house. In aversion, Does not aspect the 1st house. Bad place.
Sun is in aversion to the lord of the Ascendant. Mars in Aquarius, Lord of the luminary, sun in Aries, witnesses by 1st Sextile. Therefor it is able to aid the luminary.
Weakness and defeat of the citizens of that clime.
Wealthy and powerful of the clime will not be humbled and subjected by the master of the clime.
The master of the clime will be in a bad condition, in I’ll health.
Virgo. Ascendant. Earth Triplicity. South. Mc. Taurus - significations will be greater.
Planets in Triplicities signify the places. North south east and west.
Lord of the year:
Mercury most angular, but in its fall. Jupiter also angular in 7th but domicile ruler of Pisces. Mercury hands over rulership to Jupiter because Pisces is the house of Jupiter and receives Mercury. If planets were joined to the lord of the year and they handed over their own management to it, joy will come to that clime from every direction, according to the arrangement and strength of the planets. No planets aspect Jupiter.
For the people and their condition. You look at the lord of the year and it’s place. And from the aspect of the planets toward it. For the king of the clime You judge the lord of the mideheaven (Venus) and the sun. Namely one of these. And the conjunctions and separations. See who looks at it and what kind of strength belongs to the one looking at it, and whether they are in their own light or light of another (out of the suns rays and not connecting to another), if they look at their own places. What planets are looking at the lord of the year? Pronounce what it would signify according to the quality of place in terms of good and evil and if it were strong, strongly and if it were weak, weakly. By opposition and square - discord and contention. By Trine and sextile - friendship and concord.
Malefics in opposition the impediments will be from enemies. Square certain people thought to be peacemakers, enmity previously concealed. Trine and sextile - from friends.
Look to see if the rustics and the king would help each other out. Ruler of the rustics: 1st house - Jupiter - mercury handing over rulership to Jupiter in Pisces. Jupiter in bound mercury. Jupiter co-present with Mercury. Place of the lord of the year - strong, No aspects to Jupiter.
Jupiter and mercury are under the rays of the sun. Within 15°. The people and businesses are weakened and suffering. And will get worse.
Ruler of the Queen:
Lord of the mid heaven: Taurus. Venus, in 6th house, applying to ruler Saturn in domicle. Venus hands over to Saturn. Saturn in bound of Mars. - Saturn co-present with Venus and Mars in Aquarius in the sixth. Moon in libra bound of Mars, trines Saturn. Mars in sixth house has testimony to the ruler of the Queen.
Mars in sixth suggests, Infirmities in the Queen, relating to air sign -
On the significations of the moon and mercury. Fortune varies mostly for these two - diversity and burning. Sun can also signify the Queen. Because he [the sun] receives the strength of the planet. Lord of the house of the ascendant were under the rays of the Sun, the Sun will be more worthy for the annual rulership. Therefore the sun is ruler of the People. (But Jupiter is outside the rays of the sun, so still rules the people.)
Sun in Aries ruled by mars, Mars casts a forward sextile to the sun, it is in its joy in the 6th, yet has no dignity in Aquarius. Bound of Venus. Mars is also the lord of the lot of fortune. Suggest mars is some what strong and aspects the sun via a harmonious aspect, eastern quadrant and direct.
However the Sun is in the 8th place. The idle place. The Lot of Fortune is also here. Signifying detriment and loss according to the essence of the sign: cardinal fire ruled by mars with the exaltation of the sun.
On the planet to which the lord of the year is joined. Mercury joining Jupiter. Hands over rulership of lord of the year to Jupiter, in Pisces in the 7th. Trust and fear in connection to this. Mercury - Business trade and finances. Jupiter - government, law, church. Lord of the mid heaven or exaltation of the mid heaven handing over management to the lord of the year? Neither.
Significative of the Queen (Saturn) conjoined with (mars and Venus co-present). Venus lord of the Queen, hands over management to Saturn. Lord of the sixth. Co-present with mars, ruler of the 8th
[Venus rules the MC and is besieged in the sixth house, in conjunction to the lord of the 8th, and applying to saturn, without testimony from the benefits. Signifies ill health and fear of death for the ruler, here the Queen. The original delineation arrives at the same conclusion but from a different angle.]
Queen will be weak
Joined in the seventh from opposition or square none - (death would be feared for them.)
Joined to the lord of the eight (mars) by co-presence - mars is the bad one in day chart. Malefic contrary to sect. Ruler of the 8th house. Death will be be feared for the Queen.
Saturn is located in the 6th and ruler of the sixth. Infirmity will be feared for the ruler.
General regions of the charts and benefics and malefics.
Jupiter 7th - friends / relations
Mars 6th / Saturn 6th / Venus 6th - health / work
Assets of the Ruler
Assets from the derived second house. Ie. 11th for mid heaven king. Second for Lord of the year Ruler. Assets of the Ruler - the 11th house (or second from the mid heaven. Gemini - Mercury) Mercury is angular in the seventh-strong. Handing over management to Jupiter in Pisces, domicile ruler. Strong. Not witnessed by Malefics. Lot of fortune, does not witness the lord of the derived second.
Ruler’s assets will be in a stable condition and grow. From business, commerce, investments.
Assets of the People
Assets of the People. 2nd house, Libra. Libra is cadent, in the sixth co-present with Mars and Saturn in Aquarius. With an applying application from Mars. Suggesting that the public assets will be poor and weak and will suffer losses and cuts. The lot of fortune does witness the lord of the second suggesting:
Some good fortune.
On war
Saturn and Jupiter conjunction [in 2020] as root chart. Profection to year. Analysis ingress with this in mind. Also mars. This is outside the angles so the evil will be small. Saturn in day chart impedes less. Yet mars impedes more. Mars received by Saturn in Aquarius, impediment will be less.
Clime and cities relating to Aquarius [such as Ukraine, I did not record at the time. According to The Book of World Horoscopes, Champion, Nicholas, Ukraine has its MC in Aquarius. It is said to look at the countries & rulers with prominent signs which match the placement - i.e here the the conjunction of Saturn and Mars in Aquarius.]
Their quadruplicity (fixed, movable common - for speed.) [Enduring].
Saturn and Mars are in Aquarius - sign image of men. Both ditect. Pestilence. [covid-19 is still an ongoing concern at this time]
Same sign- civil unrest in men [war]
Evil will come about when mars comes to the place of Saturn in Aquarius. 20° Aquarius. Bound of Mars! Same sign as the [Great] conjunction.
Will be death from infirmities. Saturn is stronger in Aquarius.
On the Head and the Tail of the Dragon.
Head fortunes, tail aids the bad ones. Tail in Scorpio bound of Saturn, Head in Taurus bound of Jupiter. Head. Bound of Saturn. Taurus 9th. Close to MC.
Mars square Tail- powerful war and famine, multitude of fear. Great cold and multitude of evil.
Head corresponds to the Fortunes. Trees and herbs, and there will be few rains and provisions.
On the condition of the [ruler] when his signifactor is entering into burning.
If the significatornis entering into burning in the revolution of the year. The [ruler] of that region will die in that same year. And if it was at the extremity of the rays, grief and sorrow will enter upon him. But if a fortune were looking at it, he will escape.
It will be feared concerning him according to the nature of the sign - Aquarius. human sign. Air. Fixed. Ruled by Saturn.
Infirmity or death. Look at the transits to these significatifs.
Badness from conjunction of Mars it will be feared for [them].
The time of the evil will be at then burning of the significator. And the arrival of the same bad one (mars) to the place of the significator (saturn) or to the Midheaven/ ascendant unless a fortune would relieve it by aspect.
Venus- mars applies to Venus first. Venus blocks mars. Same bad one would be an Ally in nature. [at the time I was hopeful for this to mitigate the delineation]
And if the bad one was the significator of the [ruler], destruction will enter upon men from the direction of the [ruler]. And more strongly so if it was an angle. (Cadent) direct Aquarius. Air, North?
And look at the planet from which the king and his condition is signifies and pronounce according to the being of the planets and their advancement through individual days, concerning difficulty and want or abundance, good or evil.
Saturn eastern, in its own domicle in Aquarius. Strong. Yet cadent weakened. Look at Transits of Saturn in 2022-2023.
After this look for the receiving of the light and it’s pushing, because this signifies What is going to come about for the rustics. Whether there is going to be war and who would attain victory. [to explore whether the UK would go to war in this year - I did an interrogation chart, my delineation and interpretation is outline below. Sadly I don’t think I kept the chat. The interpretation is likely following On Questions by Sahl, Trans Ben Dykes]
Mars and other planets in the angles. Mercury & Jupiter in the west/seventh. And if Jupiter were in the ascendant it’s will be a year of security, and the matters of men and the wealthy will be made fit, and the will be successful. And if he was received the generality of the common people will find good from the king and will esteem their king. Consider the entrance of each planet into its own exaltation. If they received management, because it will signify great things.
Look at the eclipse in that year. Look at the lord of the sign in which the eclipse would be. What it’s condition is, and what kind of place it has with the lord of the Ascendant of the eclipse. And the condition of it from the lord of the year of the revlolution and the significator of the king. If it were impeded it will be worse.
Venus. In the sixth. Infirmity will befall the [ruler] in their travels. Venus is besieged, between Mars and Saturn.

Mars hands over to Saturn. MARS HANDING OVER TO SATURN. Mars is applying to Saturn which is well dignified. [I remember being confused by this, as I though the Queen would survive an illness, but I also remember wondering about the MC being on the degree of the exaltation of the Sun - Later I would come to consider this indicating the Ascension of Kig Charles II in this year]
Mars Trine Saturn. Abundance/want?. Saturn is Strong. Will receive support from the military.
Jupiter Sextiles Saturn. Will receive the support from the law and judiciary
Mercury Trine Saturn. Will receive the support from Businesses that will be boosted in the remains of the year.
Saturn doesn’t look at the Lot of Fortune. So doesn’t receive good fortune.
Outline of planetary Condition
Saturn Strongest, in domicile and Triplicty. But retrograde
Jupiter. Strong Has dignity in triplicity (night ruler), in its own bound. But retrograde.
Mars, Weak no dignity. Decan only.
Sun Very Weak, Fall, no dignity,
Venus, Corrupted, Triplicity, combust, Venus under the beams of the Sun is corrupted and sufferes.
Mercury, Strong. Cazimi, Triplicity rulership (night ruler)
Moon, Weak no dignity.
The Condition of the people:
Saturn and mars are in the signs of Humans, joined to each other saturn is retrograde. (If by conj/sq/opp - pestilence…) but Trine. So not as bad? Death from infirmity of the likeness of Saturn - Respiratory Diseases
The condition of the ruler
The king will make multiple foreign journeys, in fitness, esteem, piety, liberality, at great expenses (2nd from the 10th)
The Head and the Tail
Head and Tail. Head - fortune/ Tail Bad ones. Head on taurus - few rains, Saturn Square - Famine and a scarcity of good, the strength of the cold. And the destruction of trees.
Mars and Saturn
If Mars handed over to Saturn - severe things, long-lasting one, concerning the appearance of detriment in the earth. And the weakness of the king. And the taking away of faith and religion; and robberies will be multiplied, and contentions. Jupiter retrograde does not lessen this. Saturn in Fixed sign - prolongs what it signifies.
Mars in the Triplicities.
Air: signifies, fighting and bloodshed because of justice and seeking truth. But not in an angle so signifies infirmities from winds and blood.
Saturn in the Triplicities
Air: Saturn in the Triplicities and Angular, retrograde, signifies the contention of the wealthy and the nobles, and it signifies contention and battle in the acquisition of the kingdom. And infirmities will be multiplied in the lower classes.

Note - The Great Conjunction used in this analysis follows the work of Dr. Ben Dykes, and uses the Mean Conjunction and the Triplicity Shift into Air in 2000. Recently I have started using the True Conjunction for the Great Conjunction Chart and the preceding Aries ingress which would set the triplicity shift to Air 2020 following Dr. Ali A Olomi. I am still experimenting with the True vs Mean conjunction, currently favouring the True Conjunction for timing.
