Mercury lost at sea

Mercury as Lord 1 indicates those who will be most affected this year shall be the professional class, teachers, students, writers, social media influencers, and merchants. Mercury as Lord 5 also indicates those who will be impacted by events are children, young adults, and individuals involved in the creative fields.  

Mercury in detriment, fall in Pisces, and stationing direct shows a standstill among the public, a sense of pause, and overall stagnancy. Mercury conjunct the North Node amplifies Mercury’s confusion in Pisces leading to increased misinformation, lack of clarity, and overall malaise. Fortunately, Mercury will begin to move forward from being retrograde albeit slowly indicating some improvement in communication.

The Sun and Neptune, the real and unreal

The Sun as Lord 4, signifying land, homes, buildings, conjoins with Neptune. Neptune, known as the Earth Shaker, could be indicating big storms, earthquakes, and/or major sea events that will impact the land itself. Neptune obfuscates and by being conjoined with the Sun, the natural significator of leaders, symbolizes cover-ups that will ensue, lack of clarity, confusing and difficult to understand events surrounding leaders in general, real and unreal become indistinguishable, and with Saturn nearby, law and order begin to dissolve in Neptune’s metaphorical oceanscape. This coupled with Mercury in Pisces amplified by the North Node will lead to confusion and misunderstanding overall.

Jupiter, the Wise and Mars, God of War

Jupiter in Cancer trine with Mars in Pisces offers to reign in the martial war drums with the potential for reprieve rather than greater escalation and inflammation. Jupiter also makes a wide trine to Mercury in Pisces helping to provide wise counsel to some of Mercury’s worst tendencies.

Saturn as Lord 10, ruler of the governing body, makes an aspect with the 2nd/8th house cusp of money and trade. So governing forces will be primarily focused on maintaining the nation’s money as well as trade deals with other countries.

The Moon as ruler of 2nd house will move into the sign of Taurus, her exaltation, indicating that as the year progresses there will be improvement in money despite worries and concerns coming from Saturn’s aspect.

Simple Timing for Major Events

Following the path of the Sun, the stellium of planets are located in the 11th house giving us an April/May timeframe, the opposing 5th house is impacted by the stellium too, so we’re looking at an October/November timeframe for key events of the year as well.
