President Zelenskyy's Speech To Congress

When President Zelenskyy visited Washington DC on Wednesday 21st December 2022, the astrology was mind-blowing. Taking place on the Winter Solstice, the transiting Sun was at 0° Capricorn, transiting Jupiter at 0° Aries, and transiting Ceres at 0° Libra. So a Cardinal T-Square on World Points. This is a very powerful configuration.

Intriguingly, the transiting Moon was in the same place as it's position on the day the war began - 8° Sagittarius. Yes, I know, the transiting Moon hits this position every month, but to be there on that particular date when all those other planetary aspects were also active makes it highly significant. 

The transiting Sun was conjunct President Zelenskyy's Solar Arc Uranus, square his Progressed Mercury and was just leaving a trine to his natal Saturn. The Sun is one of the 'activator' planets which, when connected to a Solar Arc planet, triggers that planet into action. I expected his Solar Arc Uranus to bring shocks or surprises, particularly as it was conjunct a World Point which indicates breaking out of a place of safety and doing something dangerous. This is exactly what he did by making his first foreign visit since 24th February 2022 at great personal risk.

Transiting Jupiter conjunct his Progressed Mercury not only symbolises his foreign travel on that day but also his speech to Congress which he conducted entirely in English. This is one of the best planetary combinations for legal issues and the signing of contracts and agreements as it indicates that negotiations will be well received. President Zelenskyy was particularly eloquent and forthright in presenting his speech.  

Transiting Jupiter and Ceres were both square his Solar Arc Uranus. Jupiter rules the USA and Ceres has a strong connection with Ukraine, so this planetary configuration was very symbolic of both nations. Jupiter on a World Point indicates a famous world leader capturing the attention of the people. He certainly did that! Transiting Jupiter was also making it's final trine aspect to President Zelenskyy's natal Mars. This planetary influence is excellent for making fortunate decisions. I've said this before in another post, but I'll say it again: I wouldn't be surprised if President Zelenskyy receives astrological advice. He makes major decisions on very auspicious dates. This one is a prime example.

The planetary configurations present on the Winter Solstice will be re-activated on 21st March - the day after the Spring Equinox - when both the Sun and Moon will be positioned at 0° Aries, making hard aspects to the Sun, Jupiter, Ceres and President Zelenskyy's Solar Arc Uranus. Closer still will be the Full Moon on 5th February when, in combination with transiting Uranus, will trigger all the World Points, so expect significant developments.

Prince Harry - Part 2

When the planets - transits, progressions, solar arcs, etc - make aspects to the natal chart, they don't just predict events and experiences, they also reveal the psychology behind it, and the current behaviour and emotions coming into play as the result of new, albeit temporary, planetary influences. This, I suspect, is the reason for Prince Harry's out-of-character display over the last three years.

Harry's Progressed Mars began to conjunct his natal Ascendant in 2019. When any planet - transiting, solar arc, progression, etc conjuncts a personal point in the chart - and the Ascendant is the most personal of all - it tends to alter the attitude and outlook of that person as well as bringing changes to their image.

 Progressed Mars has created a very stressful state of mind leading Harry to become argumentative, abrasive and prone to making rash decisions. He will feel a sense of urgency and the need to prepare the ground for future action, but  there could be setbacks through upsetting others. A spirit of compromise will be required to head off conflicts. He is angry and this is what has been driving him headlong into constant trouble throughout the last three years. This influence is coming to a gradual end during 2023. The question is: Will his antagonistic attitude ease off when the aggressive influence of Mars is no longer around to trigger it? 

Transiting Uranus has been in an opposition aspect to Harry's natal Midheaven since May 2022 and won't be leaving until mid-March 2024. When a planet is opposite the Midheaven it is conjunct the Immum Coeli (IC) which is the most private personal point in the chart. This is the point at the base of the chart which symbolises the most important and fundamental areas of your life - home and family. I'm sure I don't need to tell you what a transit to the IC from Uranus the planet of chaos means. As we have seen and will continue to see for some time to come, his unreasonable outlook has turned his private life upside down. He is cut off and rebelling against his family, attempting to discredit and dismantle everything that has made him who he is. One thing's for sure, this won't end well and it won't end anytime soon.

Transiting Neptune began to oppose Harry's natal Sun in mid-April 2021. Lasting until mid-February 2023, this influence will have been quite challenging as the result of misunderstandings, fear or mistrust. Honesty may have been hard to come by during this period and there will have been many deceptions and delusions along the way. The structures that he has built up in his life were challenged by circumstances which forced him to make a lot of changes. 

Harry's natal Pluto will be hit by three major transiting planets which are changing signs in 2023: An opposition from Jupiter which will bring the urge to drastically change his circumstances in some way, a trine from Saturn which will herald the end of a chapter in his life and the need to start aiming for more self-control, and a square from Pluto which is a generational influence, one of the first 'Mid-Life Crisis' aspects. A Fixed Sign T-Square configuration comprising Mars, Jupiter and Pluto will rattle his chart in the week from the 18th - 25th May by squaring his natal Pluto. This will trigger a ruthless attitude either from him, or towards him.

Harry's Solar Arc Sun changed signs in April 2022 and is now positioned at 0° Scorpio where it will be conjunct his natal Pluto until 2024. This is a powerful planetary combination linked with events that bring about a major change of direction in life. Discovering and following his true vocation will be a challenge for Harry as there may be organised opposition to his schemes and plans. He should concentrate on raising his level of awareness rather than indulging in power games. External forces may appear to obstruct his path and dealings with others will be intense. In seeking to become more influential he may risk overestimating his strengths and might need to face his own less pleasant personality traits. There is a real danger of becoming stressed and fanatical. 

With his Progressed Midheaven in a square aspect to his natal Sun until 2024, he may find the road to success becoming much harder.. Although he has an arrogant belief in his own abilities, setbacks will lead to a loss of confidence. He will identify strongly with issues concerning another person, or group of people, but a temptation to hijack the spotlight might land him in trouble.

In his Solar Return chart for the period up to his next birthday, the Initial Indicators are the letters O and S. After his birthday in September 2023, the letters will be I and S. These letters represent people, places or products that will be relevant in his life. I'm assuming the 'S' will include the title of his autobiography - 'Spare'. But it will also be connected other things too. So, keep a lookout and let me know what you find.

Harry's autobiography 'Spare' is officially published today. At this moment in time, transiting Mars is in opposition to his natal Uranus. A very explosive influence which will bring many repercussions over the coming months.
