Vernal Equinox-March 20,2018-Washington, D.C.
The Vernal Equinox is a very significant time as it is the start of the new Astrological year. This equinox closely follows the New Moon which was on March 17th. That New Moon had a strong emphasis on the sign of Pisces symbolizing the inner life: dreams and visions, the mystical realm. Compassion is also a primary characteristic of Pisces. Not only was the Sun and Moon in Pisces but also Neptune, the planet that rules Pisces and Chiron, the planet symbolizing the wounded healer. This in a time to connect with our inner world by paying attention to our dreams and also through meditation and hopefully to have some psychological and spiritual healing as a result. So-even as we plunge into the New Year (astrologically speaking) we should be bringing along our dreams, visions and compassion for ourselves and others. This is an important year for inner healing as a result of getting more in touch with our wounded parts. The moon on this chart is in the sign of earthy, creative Taurus so there is emotional satisfaction from artistic or creative expression of any sort including painting, sculpture, cooking, gardening, knitting, pottery or any creative project that one feels the urge to embark on. Music is also very nurturing and healing whether one is preforming it or just listening. It’s definitely the time to open your senses and forge ahead on some new creative endeavor that you’ve always imagined doing. You will be aided by the discipline and organization of Saturn since it is making a harmonious aspect to The Moon in Taurus from his own sign of Capricorn. Mars is there too and Mars is exalted in Capricorn so one has the discipline and the energy to move ahead on a creative undertaking. Of course, the houses where these planets land in your own chart indicates more precisely what areas of your life are affected. The Sun is in the sign of Aries,1st sign of the zodiac symbolized by the Ram and associated with the God of war in mythology, so it is a time to forge ahead with new projects but with compassion and careful planning since it is conjoined by Chiron in Pisces and squared by Saturn-master of Karma and lessons. If one forges ahead without compassion and careful planning one could be thwarted by Saturn.
As usual, I have done this chart for Washington, D.C. and the Sun, Chiron, and Neptune all fall into the 10th house of the public so it appears as if more vulnerabilities will be revealed about this government over the next 6 months and more people going by the wayside. If aggression is used without careful planning and compassion towards others the one in command will most likely be impeded and since Saturn is in the house of relationships there could be more people leaving the White House including the commander in chief.At the same time some creative projects may be embarked upon that could come to fruition.
