Okay lets take a real good look at the way 2023 is going to evolve Hunter Thompson style. Imagine you are in the ocean and you see a monster set of waves coming, a tsunami. You know that this going to be a great big challenge to your surfing skills. Four planets are going to change signs by the end of Spring! And these are big planets, Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto. And Mars will move into Cancer on way to running like a trigger the rest of the year covering half of the zodiac after being so long in Gemini so long we wondered if he would ever get over his retrograde He will with a screaming water trine with Saturn in Pisces and Mars blasting into Cancer, a water time at the end of March! This cosmic trigger is of academy award potential. Emotions will run high.
Before the issue like in what Jupiter in Aries will do with all that fire/earth finding movement lets look at Pluto. The real star at one level is Pluto. Lets review: Pluto came into Capricorn in 2008—like remember that was the year of the great recession. Bad mortgage bonds killed the economy. Banks in some places went bust. Goldman Sachs was in that group. War in Iraq was still blazing after 9/11 but that wasn’t enough there was the joy of expanding to Afghanistan war had started getting real serious as time burned along. Neither ended until later 2021 by our pulling out with Trillion of debt. And then the War in Ukraine, which is really US versus Russia as we ship Ukraine billions plus equipment. By the by at the beginning of the Vietnam build up Pluto and Uranus were conjoined with Uranus. See. Pluto can get us in real trouble.
Then Saturn and Pluto conjoined in January 11 2020 and what did that deliver? Try Covid and the Pandemic, which is simmering in the world. Also chart of the US enjoyed a Pluto return – since 1777. Whole US adventure as a nation has used up one Pluto cycle. Just lately gave us 1/6/2021 insurrection.
What is the hope? Well Pluto moves into Aquarius on March 24 2023, actually his toe, but that announces a shift where Pluto can bring a new energy. Of course he will retrograde back into Capricorn to deal with the many political, environmental, economic, and social change will be his final gestures before he finally makes his ingress into Aquarius complete in 2024. Look for long needed advance in all technology. Hope that the science of Aquarius can help the planet from climate change. AI will be amazing. How can we be so advanced, go the Mars, etc., and be so out of it at home.
When Pluto is “all in” Aquarius maybe that famed age will start! People has been saying it for some time, it is even a source of debate
Saturn goes into Pisces and I have high hopes for this tough Saturn Pisces match up. See I grew up with Allen Watts, a great philosopher and he called that there is a way that covers the powers of water. He called it the “Water Way.” Water finds a way over, of around, or just soaking and rusting (even Iron is whipped). Water with the Fire of Jupiter is interesting. When this starts the match up is sextile, Jupiter in Aires will give two things with Saturn in Aquarius — the push of a powerful configuration. Then later in the year Jupiter goes to Taurus and Saturn in Pisces, another sextile. This creates great opportunism. So the Tsunami has the wish hope. This surf could bring some action besides a hard breaker.
Lets look at Mars and move on from the horns of the bull and the up Crab. Lets first list the signs will travel through after it goes direct. March 23. Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra Scorpio, Sagittarius. All elements will be activated and have a chance to be a TRIGGER in all aspects to ELEMENTS. Good ole Mars on the prowl.
What is a trigger? A trigger when Mars sets off aspects that create and energy push for a couple of days or so. That energy on certain times triggers something so intense that it sets off something that may happen at the time of the trigger. Or it makes take some time. Example I got a call asking me if I wanted to meet this certain agent. I did and we hit it off and I got a writing deal. It was during a Mars Mercury aspect. That was the first phone call. It took time for everything to fall into place.
So it is very important to watch for a Mars trigger, all fast moving personal planets give this a shot. But will Mars leaving Gemini from retrograde Mars will have a particular opportunity.
The Mars trine Saturn at the end of March is such a trine that could bring a breakthrough. Something might start going smooth. It depends. There are triggers down the road. Say there are hard angles to Saturn when Mars hits Virgo.
Then the strength of the square needs to take in a lot of energy in conflict, and some smooth. This needs a careful examination of the earlier trine. What are the houses involved. Lets say a Mars trines Saturn in Cancer but Venus has a square to the Uranus in Taurus . Now that would be tricky, this could trigger a problem. Issues Venus has a square to Uranus have to be dealt with to consider conflicting triggers.
There you have it 2023 opens with a bang, Like how when it takes 26 votes to get a Speaker of the House, which
hasn’t happened in over a century Lots of action for Saturn is still in Aquarius stirring up the pot! Wax up your surf board, it will be such a big wave. Hopefully as Jupiter moves into Tarsus in late May the energy will shift and some things slow down. Still we will have the Jupiter Uranus conjunction end of April 2024. That is something to think long term about. But I digress.
