Things remain tense with Mars in an applying square aspect to Saturn which becomes exact on 9 December 2025. Mars reflects energy and drive and Saturn setbacks and accountability. Mars wants to push ahead but Mars is also heading for a square with Neptune which becomes exact on 14 December 2025. Neptune is making things confusing. Neptune connects to ideals and dreams but equally deception. It’s a tricky time we need to navigate.
All this is building to the exact conjunction of Saturn and Neptune on 20 February 2026.
Maxwell was arrested on 2 July 2020 and was charged with six federal charges including sex trafficking and enticing minors. She was convicted on 5 counts related to sex trafficking on 29 December 2021. On 28 June 2022 she was sentenced to 20 years in prison.
She had her 2nd Saturn Return in 2020 with Saturn in 9th house of legal matters. Time to take responsibility.
In that period transit Uranus was square her MC and Jupiter – June 2020 to April 2021 – her status and relationship with Epstein in the spotlight. A radical change.
Uranus was also square Moon and opposed Neptune – June 2021 to April 2022 – big changes to her home and daily routine and the daily deception.
Saturn conjunct South Node in 10th – March to Nov 2022 – a fall from grace and needing to accept certain limitations in her new reality.
Currently both Saturn and Neptune are square Mars in 8th – April 2025 to Feb 2026. Lifting the veil – what is revealed? There will be financial implications. Mars is ruler of 12th house – prison. Do we really know what is happening?
Neptune continues to pressure her Sun and Mercury in 2026 and 2028.
Uranus will conjunct her Asc and square Pluto in 5th – sexual power – Sep 2027 to May 2028. Crisis related to self and sexual exploits.
In this period too Pluto will conjunct both her MC and Jupiter in 2028 and 2029. This is a very difficult time. Reputation and status in world connected to powerful people.
Andrew Mountbatten’s chart has been under pressure from transit Uranus. June 2024 to April 2025 Uranus opposed his Moon. Family crisis will impact his status. Emotional turmoil.
July 2025 to April 2026 Uranus squares his Sun in 8th house and ruler of his Asc and 2nd houses. His identity and financial situation and his reliance on others financially. A shake up was necessary. On 8 November this square was exact.
Transit Neptune in 9th connected to legal matters was square his Jupiter in 5th – sexual pleasure which he liked a lot. This aspect was active between April 2024 and Feb 2025. The truth would emerge after much speculation and confusion. Saturn square Jupiter between May 2025 and Jan 2026 – there would be consequences from these multiple sexual encounters.
Solar Arc Uranus opposed MC in Oct 2024. This indicates a significant change to his home circumstances and his status in world.
In 2022 he settled a civil sexual assault case in US with Virginia Giuffre – this as transit Pluto conjunct Mars in 6th house and ruler of his 10th house. His work and status in world would be forever changed. His hand was forced.
Was looking back at Epstein chart. He was arrested on 6 July 2019 on federal charges for sex trafficking minors in Florida and New York. He was found dead in his cell on 10 August 2019. Medical Examiner ruled his death a suicide.
Transit Pluto conjunct Mercury – ruler of his 5th and 6th houses – sexual pleasure and his daily life. Crisis related to these matters. Saturn and South Node opposed Uranus in 7th. The focus being his relationship and needing to be accountable. All this speaks about a personal crisis that fundamentally changes his relationship.
Uranus opposed POF/MC. Significant changes to his status in world and his family circumstances. Out of luck this time.
On 4 June 2019 Solar Arc Mars square his Pluto in 8th. This literally describes how he destroys himself. Pack of cards collapsed. Financial ruin.
Mercury travels retrograde on 9 Nov in the early degrees of Sagittarius and moves backwards into Scorpio before travelling direct again on 29 Nov 2025. In Sagittarius we are encouraged to gather information and challenge existing beliefs. It is time to discover the truth no matter how uncomfortable. In Scorpio, a mute sign, Mercury struggles to find voice. There is great intensity in the messaging.
On 20 Nov 2025 at the New Moon, Mercury will join both Sun and Moon at 28 Scorpio. What new seeds will be sown? What new insights will develop? This is a pretty explosive period with Uranus opposing Sun, Moon and Mercury and trine Jupiter and Saturn, Neptune. Shocking news is likely to some to the surface shattering dreams and ideals leading to immense disappointment. The illusion must be shattered for the truth to emerge. Those who have been silent might finally have a chance to be heard. I’m thinking particularly about women like Virginia Giuffre who have endured abuse by those with power and resources. In South Africa we are seeing the crisis in the criminal justice system with talk of a major drug cartel having infiltrated the entire system – police, crime intelligence and criminal justice sectors.
It is time for change. All these planets are in the last degrees of their signs. It is a crunch time for sure.
Jane Goodall made an incredible contribution to the humanity and the world her entire life working right to the end.
Sun and Mars in Aries she was a determined woman – warrior woman. Moon in Sagittarius on her Asc and an adventurous spirit. Her Neptune opposite Mercury in Pisces challenged conventional wisdom at the time. Her understanding of inter species communication.
She died of natural causes with Jupiter conjunct Pluto in 8th – a good death – a spiritual transition. Uranus opposed her Moon on Asc and Moon ruler of 8th. Sudden passing of her physical being.
This is quite a complex chart which probably describes the complexities of this situation perfectly.
We see strong Taurus Moon opposed Mars on MC/IC. Ordinary people want change. There is a strong opposition to war and conflict with the Moon opposition to Mars including international pressure. Cancer is the sign on the Asc with the Moon its ruler.
Jupiter opposes Pluto on Asc/Descendant. This issue of safety of home and family and beliefs is front and centre and needs to be fundamentally challenged and reformed for peace to prevail.
Sun in Libra – leader (Trump) been trying to broker a peace deal between the two parties in conflict. Trying to bring people together and the need to find each other. Sun squares Jupiter – this has been a challenge.
Venus is ruler of Sun in Virgo conjunct S Node – this is more challenging. Venus is also ruler of the Moon. Venus is opposed Saturn and Neptune. Venus speaks about our value system connected to people and resources. Nothing is perfect but it seems important to find practical solutions. Details of the peace plan are lacking. Saturn and Neptune speak about crumbling structures/institutions and ask questions about the financial implications of rebuilding a better ideal.
Uranus in 10th speaks about a radical new direction.
With the strong oppositions on the angles, it describes the tension and conflict between these 2 parties.
Full moon in Aries/Libra with a strong Mars in rulership in Scorpio. Mars has a quiet determination. Mercury has also moved into Scorpio – a mute sign. Mercury is square Pluto. What information emerges from the depths? Could be a bombshell. Pluto opposes Jupiter too. There is real tension between information and beliefs. What needs to shift for ordinary people to feel safe and protected? Mars is also the ruler of Neptune in Aries. How do we shift out of victim mindset? Time to take action personally. Individual healing. Venus opposes Saturn and Neptune. Healing relationships and finding forgiveness. This could be a difficult time with regards health. Venus asks what truly matters?
Interesting looking at chart of ANC – no confirmed time. We see Neptune has been square Pluto from June 2023 to January 2025. This planetary aspect speaks about power and corruption which could certainly destroy this entity. What we are seeing now is Saturn square Pluto from April 2025 to Jan 2026. Now has to be the time to deal decisively with power and corruption and make hard decisions to end this disastrous period. But Saturn and Pluto both speak about endings and the need to purge toxic dynamics in this organisation. If not it will die a certain death. And this will all be because of rampant power, greed and corruption which leads to its ultimate demise. Pluto is also always associated with debt and taxation matters. The ANC finds itself in a very difficult financial crisis – R85 million in debt.
On 24 September 2025, Mars will once again square Pluto. This is not an easy aspect between the warrior Mars and Pluto the planet associated with power and control.
On 9 October 2023 this aspect was exact a few days after the 7 October Hamas armed incursions from Gaza into Southern Israel. A number of people were killed and many taken hostage and this conflict remains unresolved with mounting causalities especially in Gaza. Legal scholars and the UN and various human rights organisations argue that Isreal is committing genocide against the Palestinian population.
We need to be mindful that things remain tense. On 7 Oct 2023 Pluto was retrograde in Capricorn. Those in authority desperately holding onto power and control through force. On 11 June 2024 Pluto had moved into Aquarius, and the mood had shifted to this concept of power to the people. On 24 September 2025 Pluto is now truly entrenched in Aquarius and travels out of bounds emphasising the power of revolution especially if leaders are out of touch with the needs of ordinary people.
