The USA in 2022
A look at the astrology of the USA in 2022
Although I don’t usually do forecasts on this blog, I decided to make a special case for the USA due to the significance of its 2022 configurations and specifically the Pluto return position of 27 degrees Capricorn ( and 29 the progressed Pluto) which is reactivating many of the conditions of the country’s “birth” through independence in 1776.
The good news is that the conjunctions of Neptune and Jupiter and Saturn and Mars described in my previous post are not at or around 27-29 degrees, the degrees not just of Pluto but of the natal Moon in Aquarius which will also have its return around October. It is not a coincidence these two returns appear in the same year – the cycle of Pluto is almost exactly the same as the cycle of 9 full moon cycles.
The bad news is that the Jupiter/Neptune conjunction is almost exactly opposite the US Neptune and square its Mars. That means that the Saturn Mars conjunction is also quincunx the natal Neptune though it is only in trine to the natal Mars (I say only as with two malefics a trine does not necessarily mean wine and roses).
Other aspects the conjunctions make include a conjunction of Saturn/Mars with both the progressed Mercury and Moon and a trine of Neptune/Jupiter with the natal Mercury.
That is without taking into account 45 degree aspects. The latter haul in the 1776 Uranus as well as the progressed Ascendant. We can be sure that the events around April and beyond are going to impact the USA.
And, although at first look it is a relief to see they don’t pick up the Pluto return, I am afraid that may not be such a positive after all, as it means the issues will not be confined to politics and will likely affect the economic position too.
In any case it would be wrong to think that matters pertaining to Pluto are not related at all to those pertaining to Neptune. The 1776 chart has a broad trine between the two planets ( part of the reason that the US has benefited so much during the Pluto/Neptune sextile of the last 70+ years).
What may not be so apparent to those within the country is that the economic policies that have been pursued over the last century or more are significant contributors to the political divisions that have been evidenced in the last few years. It is the reliance on simple neo-classical economics and related monetary policy, not to mention unfettered capitalism leading to offshoring of jobs and employment insecurities that has mean that the wealth of the nation has not become distributed in ways which support the American Dream for the majority of Americans.
That is likely to become even more significant during the Jupiter/Neptune conjunction and unfortunately the results of those policies are going to manifest over the coming years. There is no escape.
Going back to the Pluto return itself. We have already seen some of the manifestations of this in the events of January 6th 2021. At that point Mars was exactly square the country’s progressed Pluto producing its infamous triggering effect.
The influence of the progressed Ascendant square the 1776 Uranus contributing to unrest and rebellion cannot also be ignored and that will remain in force through 2022. Remember that by 45 aspect it is picked up in April. Expect shocks with Uranus.
Pluto itself though is likely to be triggered again by Mars and the other inner planets.
Some dates for consideration:
- Jan 15-19: Sun conjunct Pluto
- Feb 10-12: Mercury conjunct Pluto and Sun conjunct progressed Mercury
- Feb 15 Sun conjunct 1776 Moon
- Feb 28th – March 5: Mars and Venus conjunct Pluto and mercury conjunct progressed Mercury ( issues relating to the President are likely then too). Indeed the whole of the first half of March looks eventful
- Then come the April conjunctions, already discussed- events may even manifest right up to 20 April when the Sun leaves Taurus. Then we are in eclipse season so there may be no real escape.
- The time around May 8th also looks interesting as does the 29/ 30th May new Moon
- For Independence Day, Mars returns to its 6 Jan 2021 position. Eek- that doesn’t bode well does it?
- 20-22 July sees the Sun oppose Pluto – though this is not once of the most noteworthy periods
- Economic events may manifest around Sept 1st and continue through the month
- Late September/ October of course sees the progressed Moon return which is likely to reactive the Pluto problems. Oct 19-21 may be particularly noteworthy as could the time around 20 November. Of course September and October is the run up to the Mid-term elections so it is not surprising that this will be a period of polarisation.
- By December the mood may have shifted somewhat. But that will be after some extremely interesting times.
