On the Mundane (outlook for world and national events) Front: This year looks like it will involve a lot of disruption. The international outlook will be dependent on what happens after the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Even after the war has concluded, there will be the difficulty of maintaining any kind of peace. The potential problem is Putin’s drive to control how he deals with many problems for Russia and the sanctions put on it. Putin ( Libra Sun, Scorpio rising and Moon in Gemini) will be on psychological pressure that may make him more unstable (what stable man starts a war?} He has already caused economic problems for the world community. The shockwaves of this will not go away for some time. So don’t look for this situation to have a silver lining. The price of oil with cause a world inflation that has not been seen in quite a quite a while. (More on this later)
The United Sates will have a difficult time (I do not intend to sound like a grumpy Gus) because of the Pluto return that is going on in the chart of the United States. What is the Pluto return all about? It is the time when transiting Pluto returns to where it was when the declaration of Independence the United State rebelled against England and wanted to create a free republic. The last return was it 1856 a time where conflict between north and south states about the question of slavery was starting to get hot. There were small conflicts between neighboring militia. Sounds familiar?
Back to the concept of the idea of the Pluto return. To give an example of the potential of this Pluto return is to think about the Saturn Return a person’s chart, a time of difficulty. Well the Pluto return is like trouble on steroids. The power is so great.
The first thing in the background astrology is that there was the Saturn conjunct Pluto in 2020 in Capricorn. Something that hadn’t happened since October in the sixteenth century, which saw the beginning of the reformation. Religions rebelled and the world shifted At the time of 2020 it brought the pandemic, as well as race uprisings, which cause wide spread problems. And the beginning of the even wider divisions of the population.
The one of the biggest problems this year is the price of oil. Inflation rides on the price of oil from the tractor cost to farmer to plant and harvest to the trucks that move all of our products use gas. The food to grocery stores gets there by gas. People commute to jobs. Etc., You get the picture. Everyone will feel the pinch. It will be like a tumble of dominos.
This inflation will be the primary underlying problem of the election, which will be chaotic and full of outrageous political conflicts and the vote will be contested. The Solar eclipse in October 25 to the Lunar eclipse ON ELECTION DAY the race up to the election and its outcome will present so many grave problems in the republic and a test to democracy.
The Pluto has three hits in 2022 in its return. More later as we continue to follow the action as the months build up to a crescendo. The joke in my group of friends is “Perhaps the UFOs will come down and save us.”
