\Beyond Politics to Profundity/
Moon in Aries-->Taurus
|Karmically serious or sobering third| of this week is at its most intense today (lasting until early Friday)
/moon goes void-of-course at 0:30a PT | 3:30a ET | 8:30a UT
until it enters Taurus at 10:57a PT | 1:57p ET | 6:57p UT
By any traditional astrological standard, today is about as bad a day as possible for inaugurating a new president! Horrible. Not only is it during the most intense hours of the |difficult third| of this week but while the moon is void-of-course. What has happened in the past during the presidencies of those sworn in while the moon was void-of-course? I have not researched that but it might be an interesting project for someone with time on his or her hands. Apart from that, the closest conjunctions are the sun with Saturn, always very difficult, and Mars with Uranus, always intense, angry, riled up, or even violent. Of course we know that many on both sides of the political spectrum are not happy about much that is taking place.
However, it's probable that the ceremony will proceed normally with no fireworks. It is the inner, silent fuming and worrying which is more basically indicated by these aspects.
'A horrid sight! A man being tortured' is one of the worst symbols in Charubel's set. Donald Trump? Some would sadistically hope he is suffering (to their shame). Joe Biden? Perhaps, if feeling that his presidency is a grim duty without glory, given the pandemic and the political strife that has to be dealt with slowly and laboriously. Many Trump supporters and many Democrats feel that the other side is ruining everything and they are hopeless to quell the torment. Or---prepare yourself---if people break out of their frustration to try to celebrate, even the Trump people celebrating some kind of hope for a comeback, they could all, on both sides, resemble 'a man of stout make, good proportions, round rosy features, looking very merry, dancing grotesquely.' 'His creed is, "Let me eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow I may be finished."'
Some may ignore all the ceremony and hoopla, perhaps wisely, and be as 'boys and girls in gymnasium suits,' cooperating simply in the mutual animation of group activity. Life goes on in its daily routines. We wear the clothing we have to wear to play our parts. Apart from that, some may be as if 'babes, but inwardly giants.' Not understood, they dwell in an inner kingdom of heaven. How could politics interfere with it?
The harshness of the squares in fixed signs, today intensified by the moon, could result in mental work, learning, exploits in law or in scholastic studies. 'A man riding upon a well-conditioned horse' is considered to be a traveling teacher who likes changes of venue and a romantic life while training the 'horse' minds and senses of himself and others. All this makes use of 'a book on which a compass and an hourglass stand.' Space and time are cognized and utilized adroitly, or annihilated in daring leaps of thought. Scientific or philosophic discoveries are deep and useful.
