Explainer: Forecast periods in global astrology
The major events that get reported each day by the news media are scripted by aspects (energy-events) formed by the planets in the sky, the major cycle charts and the Aquarian Age chart at the same. The planets place their signatures on events and trends here on Earth.
In 2023 big change occurred when India overtook China as the world’s most populace country; Russian society is almost as closed and repressed as it was back in Soviet times; the real action in finance is now outside regulated banking and in private markets, investing and trading; the world has a $13 trillion interest bill to meet; AI is shaping modern warfare; your big concern is data security; and fake news and misinformation have become embedded in our everyday lives.
The Moon’s everyday people work and struggle to do the best they can. They live ordinary lives, believe fake news, accept and follow dubious religious beliefs and scientific notions and rely on people with smarter minds to do the things they can’t.
Recently two of the Sun’s star political performers experienced a fall from grace due to their grubby behavior.
Mars has many people in a state where their mental circuitry is ready to blow a fuse. It’s the planet of accidents – car, bus, train and boating accidents.
Jupiter, the cash provider, has its eyes on the money. When out of control it wants more, more, more – more money, homes, shirts and shoes. The behavior is illogical and dumb. Yet, when you’ve got nothing Jupiter’s hope is everything.
The story of religious warring, scripted by Mars and Jupiter, is a battle for the human soul.
Saturn is old school. Its fear is a terrible thing. It makes people selfish, stupid and bigoted. Its anxiety and insecurity have reached plague proportions. Its hard-core conservatism and unhinged politicians are progress blockers: and it doesn’t like having its established ideas and traditions proved ignorant or wrong by new knowledge. It resists change and yet the world moves on. In the school of life it provides lessons in loss, grief and despair. Venus, its playful, fun-loving antidote, is the planet of love, peace, harmony and exquisite beauty.
Uranus doesn’t see the world in the same way you do. It gives weird, bizarre explanations and ridiculous conspiracy theories the thumbs up. It has sparked a growth in crazy people, saying and doing crazy things. It’s wickedly complex, creates new perspectives by turning ordinary thoughts upside down, and thinks Mercury’s talk is often very overrated. Its AI is all the talk. AI can tell you what to eat, but it can’t make you eat it. It wrote a joke that wasn’t funny. Some propose it’s going to take over the world and bring about the extinction of the human race but that’s sure to be a crazy notion or fake news.
Throughout history humanity has experienced and suffered from incorrect information and false impressions. We see no reason for that situation to have changed in 2023.
Neptune is all about chaos, chaotic days, chaotic situations and movie magic. It doesn’t like the real world very much and keeps tearing down reality. It’s the age of easy credit, plastic money and the idea that you can buy a personal utopia with money that isn’t yours. And despair, insecurity, violence and hopelessness make a drug induced hallucination seem very appealing.
Lower-Pluto – doer of evil – opposes collective action. It’s into captology, persuasive technology, behavior manipulation, inversive propaganda, coercive power, demagogues, dictators, silencing dissenters, degenerate behavior and corruption. Google and Amazon are its biggest corporate lobbyists.
Higher-Pluto sees society as something you benefit by contributing to the welfare of those around you. It’s all about respect, tolerance and consideration. Its Aquarian Age internet, like your not-conscious soul-mind, permanently saves data.

The major astro-events in July 2023 to watch
Throughout July there’s a peak influx of Mars-Saturn energy forecasting major events of their type here on Earth.
Progressed Moon is sesquisquare progressed Mars and birth chart Saturn in the Aquarian Age chart stimulating major aspect progressed Mars conjunction birth chart Saturn that’s at peak power on January 24, 2024; and Mars is opposition Saturn in the sky.
There are 9 aspects in the Mars cycle including progressed Mars opposition and parallel Saturn on July 2 and progressed Mars inconjunct Mars on July 17; and there are 5 aspects in the Saturn cycle including progressed Saturn inconjunct Mars > start date is July 22 and progressed Saturn semisextile Saturn > start date is July 24.
In response to the influx of Mars energy major events bearing its signature are inclined to occur with important developments in the conflict-zones – Ukraine, Sudan, Myanmar – forecast. Mars and Saturn sign for military strategies and in June 2023 Ukraine launched a counter-offensive to regain lost territory but it’s impossible to judge if the Mars-Saturn energy favors Ukraine or Russia in the conflict. Both sides have short and long range strategies and in July the indications are for the fighting (Mars) to escalate with both sides suffering heavy losses (Saturn). Saturn plans carefully and makes slow progress.
There’s also an upsurge in strife, disputation, destruction, anger, aggressive behavior, random violence (shootings, stabbings), accidents and fires. Saturn forecasts (aggressive) security moves, economic hardship, destructive weather events, monster storms/hurricanes, tragedy, fear, grief, desolation, suffering, despair and loss. Consumers will be shutting their purses and wallets. July will be a tough month.
