FIRST QUARTER WAXING LUNAR SQUARE & MARS/PLUTO SQUARE MADE FOR AN INTERESTING

Astrologically Speaking with Sheri

WEEK! JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN AT KARMIC EVOUTION DOT COM FOR A NEW “KARMIC EVOLOUTION’S ASTROLOGICALLY SPEAKING!” PODCAST dropping 11 a.m. PT & 2 p.m. ET June 14! We’ll review how astrological energies of the past week actually played out as the Gemini New Moon lunar cycle from June 6 continues to wax toward next week’s Capricorn Full Moon June 21…
As Mars in Taurus waxed toward its exact fixed square to Pluto in Aquarius on June 11—an aspect that can predict violence--we first learned of the rescue of four Israeli hostages in Gaza, but also that, in doing so, 274 Palestinians perished. And on June 10, the U.N. Security Council passed a U.S.-backed Gaza cease-fire resolution that laid out a three-phase plan that begins with an immediate cease-fire.
But action there has been stalled, as per the squares to Saturn by Venus, the Sun, & Mercury between June 8 & 10—as the Gemini New Moon began to wax--just as it’s been stalled elsewhere in places like the U.S. Congress. These squares reflect resistance, particularly from authority figures &/or institutions.
This became obvious this past week in Germany & France, where right-wing factions gained ground in last week’s elections, causing French President Macron to dissolve the lower house of parliament & call for new elections beginning June 30. Part of a historic surge of the far-right’s in European elections—including in Germany—France’s politics have been thrown into disarray.
This podcast reviews also how on June 11 former President Donald Trump, convicted on May 30 of 34 felonies, met with his probation officer who will make sentencing recommendations to the judge who’s scheduled to announce Trump’s sentene on July 11.
Also on July 11, as Mars exact squared Pluto, a jury found Hunter Biden guilty for lying about his drug use on his application to own a gun. As noted, Mars & Pluto in frictional aspect can mean violence, and guns—whether used or not—certainly imply potential violent intent.
We look during this podcast at Hunter Biden’s natal chart & discuss how it reflects the sudden loss of his mother due to an automobile accident. It's Gemini season, after all, & the Geminian archetype includes local transportation--& Biden has a Mars/Uranus opposition square to his natal Cancer/Capricorn Ascendent/Descent. Tune in for more about this…
More on the Mars/Pluto square front was the news that Steve Bannon, Trump’s former chief of staff during the early years of his presidency is due to report to jail on July 1, though he’s still attempting a last minute appeal. Bannon--who’s been accused of stealing money from the fund collected to “build the wall” (the resurrection of another Saturnian symbol during a week of squares to Saturn,” lol)—is being jailed for refusing to respond to a House January 6 committee subpoena & was sentenced to four months in prison on October 21, 2022. Talk about delay, eh?
And, how about—as we approached the June 13/14 first quarter lunar square of the Virgo Moon to the Gemini Sun AND the Sun/Mercury conjunction in Gemini—the Supreme Court decision declaring that the case to prevent mifepristone from being sent through the mail was decided. The lack of standing of the petitioners was the deciding factor, but this means another case is probably coming down the pike, again illustrating those squares to Saturn as a delay but not a final resolution.
Finally, there’s the decision by the G7 nations meeting this past week that both U.S. & European banks housing frozen Russian assets—to the tune of $250BN—agree to use the $50BN in interest to fund a U.S. loan to Ukraine to help with this nation’s reconstruction once the war of Russian aggression there ends. Confiscating "joint resources" monies as retribution against war--you can’t get more Mars/Pluto square-y than that!
