Washington Woes
I shot an arrow into the air, It fell to earth, I knew not where... H Wadsworth Longfellow
The Full Moon today at 13 Gemini brings revelation of matters which will shift the perception of the nation as well as impact on the nation’s image and public perception. The lunation falls within a degree of the USA Sibley chart’s Descendant at 12 Gemini.
The lunation’s Ascendant set for Washington DC at 5 Cancer sits on the USA Sibley chart’s Jupiter which is the lord of the USA Sagittarian Ascendant. The nation has always portrayed an image of excitement and excess, innovation and independence. Today, this image has suffered much from current events however the lunation sitting on such sensitive points will positively reveal things that have previously been either glossed over at best or deliberately hidden from public scrutiny.
The fact that the lunation triggers off the Seventh house cusp brings to the surface issues of conflicts and enemies as well as alliances. The Full Moon is the revelation of matters which were seeded at the New Moon two weeks ago at 28 Scorpio. This is disposited by the New Moon’s Mars, in a tight opposition to Uranus. We can say that the New Moon heralds a new wave of turbulence, unrest and uncertainty. The other interesting thing is that this New Moon chart also has Mars at 11 Sagittarius, opposing the degree of the Full Moon which occurs two weeks later.
Conversely, the Full Moon’s Mars at 22 Sagittarius is in opposition to the USA Mars. The matters revealed here are about the way the nation deals with perceived ‘enemies’ and the force brought to bear on these. At the same time, Mars has just gone out-of-bounds and will be so until March 2026. The Lunation’s Ascendant at 5 Cancer is also in the terms of Mars amplifying the Martian nature of this period. These testimonies serve as a red flag to the under-current of aggression and contention which colours the actions and events of this time
Currently, the nation is grappling with the notions of whether the nation is at war or not to justify the bombings of boats in the Caribbean, declaring refugees as enemies of the state, and the deployment of armed reservists to patrol city streets in search of criminal aliens. The narrative rests on the description of what constitutes an enemy and many commentators see only the enemies as designated by the Administration viz those who oppose current policies or who have previously done so. These actions have eroded the nation’s standing both within the nation and internationally especially as a pillar of international justice and a bastion of democracy.
Mercury the dispositor of the lunation sits at 22 Scorpio on the cusp of the Sibley chart’s Twelfth house echoing the matters of secrecy and undoing. There have been many ‘arrows’ shot into the air with little consideration as to where they land and their effects.
What we may see revealed in the next few weeks is the ‘undoing’ of some public figures who epitomise the Martian nature of the times. Alternatively, unsanctioned or rogue actions symbolised by the out-of-bounds Mars may have more than just the peripheral effects we have witnessed to date.
Although, these are not new developments it is the escalation heralded by the Full Moon that should be of concern.
