WINTER SOLSTICE
The most dramatic event in the Solstice chart (that is said to contribute information about the year ahead or at least for the three months to follow) is a precise right angle of Mars closing in on Uranus. That is the “crisis in consciousness” marker for the cycle that began at their conjunction in mid-May of 2005. Then we were getting shocking news of numbers of Iraqi deaths and waves of violence and suicide bombings there as well as reports of Abu Ghraib convictions and Koran desecration. There was also a big, 15,000 troops, offensive launched in Baghdad then. At the opening square in March 2006 came warnings of civil war in Iraq, mass kidnappings, and thousands protesting in the US over anti-immigrant policies. The opposition phase of Mars/Uranus came in mid-August 2006. Then we had a worsening crisis in Darfur and the disastrous Lebanon war with the US upping shipments of new cluster bombs to Israel. The December event is sure to be accompanied by more incivility and surprise. The cycle will both end and begin again with Mars joining Uranus in the Zodiac in late April of ’07. Other themes that I’ve noticed in the news connected with this current Mars/Uranus cycle are technology related such as genetically modified foods and high tech surveillance. Uranus is linked with both technology and social matters while Mars ignites and energizes.
