Astrological Insights: What the Stars Foretell for the Year Ahead
Unlock the secrets of the cosmos as we explore the astrological predictions for the upcoming year from the Aries ingress of 2023. From societal unrest to economic fluctuations and even the destiny of our leaders, let's dive into the intriguing world of astrology and see what the stars have in store for us.
Societal Unrest and Financial Concerns:
The horoscope for this year has Scorpio rising, with the south node of the moon a.k.a the tail of the Dragon and the Lot of Fortune influencing its energy. As a fixed sign, we only need to focus on one chart for the year. The Sun's position below the horizon indicates that this chart belongs to the night sect. The Ascendant degree, located in the bound of Mars and the dodecatemoria of Sagittarius, signifies a year marked by unrest among the people, primarily concerning financial matters, debts, conflicts, and even mortality. Unfortunately, it also indicates diminished agency and corruption, particularly foreboding for sailors and surgeons.
Mars, Saturn, and Weather Patterns:
In this year's chart, Mars finds itself in the eighth house, governed by Saturn. This alignment signifies a challenging condition for the people, potentially leading to burning/heat and illness. Mars is squared by Saturn, emphasizing the likelihood of scarce rainfall, intense heat waves, storms, and harmful weather conditions. With Mars in the sign of Gemini and Saturn in Pisces, their square aspect suggests the occurrence of diseases and deaths due to health issues. Mars, as the main infortune, being in the eighth house of shared resources and debt, it also points to potential financial losses.
Venus and the Empowerment of Women:
Venus, as the triplicity ruler of Scorpio, assumes a powerful position in Taurus, her domicile. Angular on the descendant degree, Venus is also accompanied by the North Node of the moon, a.k.a the Head of the Dragon. This configuration indicates the elevation of a strong, influential older woman during the year. Furthermore, Venus in Taurus brings positive prospects for agriculture and laborers. As the ancient astrologer Abu Ma'Shar suggests, this year may witness a rise in recreational activities, music, and teaching. It signifies overall fertility, happiness, and the accomplishment of the king, including victory over adversaries. These positive developments will likely manifest in the southern regions.
Leadership, Travel, and International Relations:
The Midheaven (MC) in Leo, associated with kingship, is governed by Saturn and the 12th part of Aquarius. This suggests the presence of an experienced, elderly leader among the people. Although the Sun is exalted in Aries, indicating praise for the king, its placement in the sixth house raises concerns about potential illness, sorrow, or loss for the ruler. On a positive note, the king will deliver significant speeches, champion moral philosophy and piety, and embark on foreign travels, where they will be warmly received. Peace efforts and journeys in pursuit of praise are also likely.
Saturn, Jupiter, and Environmental Disruptions:
Saturn's position in Pisces, residing in the fifth house, signifies an increase in rainfall and water-related incidents. Impediments in waters, shipwrecks, and threats to foreign travelers on the sea are among the potential consequences. Additionally, aquatic creatures may face endangerment or death. Jupiter, symbolizing leaders, judges, and the religious, finds itself in the sixth house, in the sign of Aries. Despite being received by Mars, this configuration suggests challenges faced by beasts or animals.
The Moon, Mercury, and Social Unrest:
As the luminary of the chart, the Moon holds a significant position. While it is in a favorable location, it is not well-received and is aspected by Mars. This alignment indicates the likelihood of social unrest in the year ahead. The Moon's square aspect with Mars suggests the involvement of the people in conflicts. Mercury, located in Aries in the sixth house and under the beams of the Sun, represents secrecy, corruption, and challenges faced by businessmen, the press, and governmental ministers.
Astrological Mundane Lots:
Various astrological lots provide additional insights into the year ahead. The Lot of Dominion, situated in the eleventh house of the chart, suggests that the government will focus on their own accomplishments, power, currency, business, communication, and trade. However, these aims may be revealed during a period when Mercury aligns with the Heart of the Sun, and when Mercury turns retrograde, their intentions may become corrupted.
The Lot of Fortune, falling in the rising sign of the chart, indicates positive relationships and partnerships in the coming year. However, the presence of Saturn in the fifth house suggests potential corruption or downfall for entertainers and children, and calamities related to water.
Lastly, the Lot of the Hidden, located in the twelfth house of Libra, signifies actions conducted by rulers behind the scenes. These actions will likely focus on trade relations, agricultural goods, commodities, and the entertainment industry.
As we delve into the Aries ingress chart, we gain fascinating insights into the year ahead. From societal unrest and financial concerns to the empowerment of women, leadership dynamics, environmental disruptions, and social unrest, the stars hint at a year filled with challenges and opportunities. While astrology provides a lens through which we can interpret these events, it is up to us, as individuals and as a society, to navigate the path ahead with wisdom, resilience, and adaptability. Forewarned is forearmed.
