Will peace last?
Look at relationship between ruler of 1st and 7th houses – Mars and Venus.
Currently no aspect between Mars and Venus. They will oppose one another on 8 December when Mars travels retrograde again. At this stage Pluto will join Venus and add another level of intensity. At this point, there will be a great deal of tension between these opposing sides. Is a breakthrough possible or does something fundamentally change the trajectory of this peace deal?
Other concerns currently are that the Moon is via combusta. This makes the chart of this time void and uninterpretable.
In addition Mercury is stationary and about to travel retrograde. Mercury is in detriment and opposed to Jupiter which is also retrograde and in detriment. So although Mercury and Jupiter are in mutual reception – in the opposite signs – they are both damaged by being retrograde and in detriment. This is a difficult time grappling with beliefs and information. It’s never ideal to sign a contract in a Mercury retrograde period. It implies things are likely to change as new information comes to light.
Can these two opposing sides trust each other?
Mars will oppose Pluto exactly on 3 Jan 2025 and again on 27 April 2025. This remains an incredibly tense time globally.
