AstroDatabank Newsmaker: Winter Solstice 2007
Wherever you get your news, you are probably hearing about economic woes, the disastrous
effects of global warming, abuses of power, terrorist threats political machinations and
various dire predictions. Primaries and caucuses have the nation in a tizzy and many of
us are following the candidates' steps and missteps. Let's look at the Capricorn ingress
chart to see if there's any light in the darkness and to forecast what the next few months
might hold for the US.
What Do You Think?
- When the Ascendant is in Libra, we have a reversal of the zodiacal order: that is,
Libra, the 7th sign, is now in the first position, Scorpio, the 8th sign, is now in
second position, etc. The chart ruler of the Solstice chart is Venus in Scorpio in
the second house. How do you interpret this set-up? What does it tell us about the
mood and focus of the nation? What issues are likely to be on people's minds over
the next few months?
- What do you make of the exact Sun-Jupiter conjunction at 00 degrees of Capricorn?
Note that the pair is framed by Pluto, still in Sagittarius, and Mercury at 2 Capricorn.
What does this combination of planets in the 3rd house suggest about affairs of the
next few months?
- Let's study the Midheaven and the 10th house cusp, the places that symbolizes the
country's Executive Branch. The 10th house cusp is the degree of the recent Mars
retrograde station; the Midheaven is only two degrees away and Mars is in the 9th
house, close by and still retrograde. The moon which rules all three is in Gemini
in the 8th house. How might you interpret the state of affairs for the country's
executive branch, especially President Bush? Where are his energies concentrated?
Is he a completely lame duck or is there a revival of interest in any part of his
presidential agenda?
- What if anything in the chart speaks to you about the upcoming primaries and caucuses?
- The popularity of Congress is at an all-time low. President Bush blames the
legislature for blocking his agenda and the electorate seems to be disenchanted with
Congress's lack of progress in national and foreign affairs. What does the chart tell
us about the relationship between Congress and the Executive Branch over the upcoming
months? Will Congress continue to sink in the polls or will its standing improve?

Previous Newsmaker: Leona Helmsley
Take a look at what our readers had to say about Leona Helmsley's chart:
- Helmsley drove herself to succeed. Some reports say that she created the
opportunity to meet Harry Helmsley at a company party and purposefully managed
to keep him away from others for the rest of the evening. She had already made
her first million when she met him, and their partnership increased their wealth
many times over. Where in the chart is her personal rag-to-riches story and where
is the lucrative partnership with Harry? Where is her ambition? What connotes a
passion and genius for real-estate and land development?
- Where in the chart is the prison-sentence for financial wrong-doing? Helmsley
was notorious for noting every speck of dust and yet she obviously turned a blind
eye to the "minor" detail of obeying the law. Where in the chart of such a savvy
business woman is the capacity for unscrupulous, illicit behavior?
- If a young Leona had come to you for a consultation, what would you have told
her about her life's challenges and opportunities? What were her life's desires?
What attracted her? Are there astrological factors that indicate the potential for
her to become "The Queen of Mean"? In Dickens' story, we come to understand what
shut down Scrooge's capacity for compassion and loving relationships and how his
mean-spirited behavior developed. How might we understand Leona's?
