Weekend of September 24-25, and Current Fortnight
\Slowly Building/
Yesterday we considered the blockbuster aspect Saturn square Uranus which came on the scene in January 2020 and leaves in January 2023. Now let’s look at other aspects in the current Fortnightly chart, September 22 (Thursday) through October 4 (Tuesday).
1 Mercury opposite Jupiter is not good for business or transactions, especially while Mercury is retrograde (as it is until October 2) and so of course we have the almost-crash decline in the stock market, down 12.67% since the beginning of the Dark Hermetic Epoch on August 20. I do not attempt to predict whether it will recover soon. It is true that some of the biggest crash-level declines have occurred during DHEs or Mercury Retrograde periods (1929, 1987, 2008, and more). But there can be recoveries during those periods also, just not as often it appears.
2 The sun also opposite Jupiter makes things spicy, because this aspect is known for gambling or speculating, also for “having fun” in an “irresponsible” way which impairs work habits. It’s an "inclination to the high life” including possibly overeating. It can be arrogance in expressing opinions.
3 Mercury and the sun are opposite Neptune. This can make for escapism of various kinds (alcohol or drugs in some cases) including fantasies and entertainment involving the supernatural such as supposed superpowers, etc. There can be self-delusion, confusion, and deceptive communication either on your part of that of someone else.
4 The moon’s position in these Fortnightly charts is where it is at the very center of the Fortnight, when it is conjoined to one of the moon’s nodes, this time the South Node in Scorpio. That makes it opposite Uranus and square Saturn, a T square of tension regarding personal relationships and money, with a penny-pinching attitude as required by inflation, mortgages, rentals, energy costs, and so on. It can be self-isolation, lack of adaptability and separation.
5 The star aspect of the Fortnight is Mars exactly trine Saturn. This can be perseverance to the point of indefatigability. Grant Lewi says, “You are a builder, willing to start at the bottom of a career and work your way deliberately to the top. There’s nothing flimsy about the structure you build. You have an excellent balance of boldness and reticence, aggressiveness and tact. Your judgment is excellent, and you always know where you are going and how each brick, however small, is going to fit into the eventual product. There is insurance that your energies will find constructive and progressive outlet.”
6 This is colored, of necessity, by the fact that Mercury remains retrograde, so the “constructive and progressive” use of energies could seem slow, delayed, or bogged in much thought and revision. That is all right because we are developing things partly “in the dark” during any Dark Hermetic Epoch, yet securing sufficient light to see the next footsteps at least.
