March 8, 2017
The astrological year commences when the Sun enters Aries on March 20, 2017 at 10.29am GMT.
At this time the Sun is square (obstacle) Moon (the general populace), conjunction Mercury (talk and controversy), conjunction Venus (women and women’s issues) and square Saturn (hardship, struggle, poverty and loss).
Moon conjunction Saturn is the strongest aspect in the chart.
It forecasts recessed economic conditions, austerity measures, cutbacks, economic hardship, fear and selfishness, a household debt crisis, food shortages, starving people, a housing shortage etc, with governments (Sun) failing to effectively deal with the escalating socio-economic distress.
This is the outstanding trend influencing the global agenda from March 20, 2017 to March 20, 2018.
The Moon is the planet of the everyday people, civilians, housing, food and water and Saturn is the planet of ultra-conservatism, orthodoxy, economy, cutbacks, recessed economic conditions, debt, poverty, loss, protectionism, fear, safety, security concerns, walls, immigration, the farming and mining sectors, coal, land, destructive weather events, famines, floods, natural disasters and disease.
The conjunction aspect brings these matters into prominence but where the discord manifests is determined by its house position in a specified chart.
There’s also a Jupiter-Uranus-Pluto T-square in the chart that forecasts financial, trade and banking sector problems; social unrest, protests and demonstrations; and a lack of cooperation, group disunity and break ups.
Specified Sun cycle charts vary greatly in their discord.
The US Sun cycle has a net discord of 12 discordynes; Germany’s chart has a net discord of 82 discordynes; China’s chart has a net discord of 177 discordynes; and Australia’s chart has a net harmony of 11 harmodynes.
These are relative measurements so the discord being measured can’t be compared.
The impact of the Moon-Saturn discord on China is measured by its house position in China’s Sun cycle chart and clarified by the current situation in the country.
A country’s political, economic, work, housing and conflict circumstances serve as an environmental setting for the chart and what eventuates.
Date for all charts is March 20, 2017.
