Minute by Minute

 

Figure 1

Figure 1 shows the external monitor connected to my laptop with a real time display of the planetary positions via Astrolog. As I work at my computer, the screen is constantly updated with the latest planetary positions. Minute by minute the Ascendant is changing and one can't help wondering about the charts of those born under these configurations. The chart shown has the Moon in Taurus conjunct Uranus and the North Node right near the Descendant. The Moon and Uranus are squared by Saturn at the Midheaven and opposed by Venus, Sun and Mercury in Scorpio on the Descendant. Quite a configuration.

The chart is configured for Jakarta and given the size of its population there's doubtless someone being born within a few minutes of the configuration shown. From the perspective of mundane affairs, it can be seen that Jupiter is still moving backwards through Pisces but not for much longer. On November 24th, it will station and then move forward again and back into Aries, reaching that sign very close to the solstice on December 21st. Jupiter will roar through Aries and reach Taurus on May 17th 2023 and not return to Aries till its next cycle. So the first five months of 2023 should see some rapid expansion of food supply problems. As Jupiter enters Aries it will be opposite the granary body of Ceres which gives some idea of what might be in store for humanity.

The chart drawn up for the moment of the Sun's entry into Capricorn, the Solstice, is quite revealing. It shows a very sharp T-square formed by the Jupiter-Ceres opposition and the Sun at right angles to both. All three bodies are in the first degrees of their cardinal signs, quite a powerful configuration and one that promises action. See Figure 2.

We'll see how things pan out in 2023. It should get off to an interesting start.
