Old 2015 and new 2016

Slightly handicapped by a whiplash injury, perfectly in line with Saturn in Sagittarius (my sign) square my Ascendant, so in the hip region, I can hardly walk and have to use medication against the pain. Still I want to celebrate New Year and have a home made brunch. You can imagine that that will take some energy. It is why there are fewer posts on Astropost these days. Nevertheless, here is something about the chart of New Year.

New Year is not a particular astrological moment. It takes place after Midwinter (December 21) and before Astrological (and astronomical) New Year (March 21). It is, however, a special moment for almost all the world. We’ll see fire work, happy wishes and people coming together where people are free to say goodbye to 2015 and welcome 2016. Every place on earth has it’s own chart for that moment. It goes too far to read all those charts, even if you DO believe that New Year is the birth of 2016 and that the chart of that moment will last till 2017. I consider it to be the chart of party time. There is more to say about 2016. Like the fact that Saturn is in Sagittarius and those born between December 2 and 9 will notice most of all. Don’t worry. You won’t all be whiplashed, Sagittarians! It is a matter of more than 3 indications, remember? Last time when I had transit Saturn conjunct my Sun, I moved to another place. It just ended a period in my life.

On New Year’s Eve we also end a period in life. We look back and start all over with fresh energy. Some worry about Mercury retrograde in January, but I don’t. I recently got a parcel delivered 4 weeks too late and it wasn’t even Mercury retrograde yet. Some will say that it was because of Pre-retrograde, but I think 7 weeks is too much PRE for an order. Look at your own chart (natal, transits and progressions and solar return) to get an idea about the future, but not without knowing that time changes and so do circumstances. Twenty years ago I wouldn’t have imagined what is happening today. Though I could have found some indications about pain in December 2015!:) With the same certainty I see the still active Uranus square Pluto in 2016 as a signal for continuing complications in politics, requiring strong nerves. 

When it is 12 o'clock tonight, we all hope that 2016 will be better than 2015, for us and for our family and friends. With the Moon conjunct Jupiter and Node we have the support from above to make it a nice and happy start of 2016. I wish you a happy end and a good beginning!

Happy Astrological New Year!

Today at 16:58 UT it is the beginning of the next astrological year. It is NY's day for astrologers every time that the Sun is at 0 Aries (Aries Point). That is when the new cycle starts. Zero Aries in 2014 has Moon in Scorpio, Sun and Mars 'calling' (no Ptolemaic aspects in sign or orb 5 degrees). The Sun is half semi square Eris and retrograding Mars is making an aspect with Eris as well. This opposition of Mars and Eris will be exact on March 29 and will be back when Mars is direct later. This may be regarded in line with the events in Ukraine, perhaps. It is a rather disturbing aspect that mirrors aggressive discord.

As neither Mars nor Eris are angular, this doesn't seem to apply to Greenwich and neither is there a highlighted Jupiter-Uranus-Pluto in that chart.

In Moscow, however, Pluto is exactly square Ascendant (stubborn, threads, danger), while in Washington Pluto is exactly on the Descendant (outspoken) and Jupiter closer to the Ascendant than Jupiter is to the Russian Midheaven.

In Kiev Jupiter and Uranus are tighter connected to an angle as Pluto.

Time will tell what it means. It does have a meaning for those born at that time and place. May I end this story with the picture of NY2014 for Amsterdam? The day of the elections ended with Eris on the Descendant and there is a special place for Ixion on the IC in the NY's chart.


I haven't studied Ixion yet. I read that it is about a repeated cycle of forgiveness and hurt and more (see: http://www.lunarplanner.com/asteroids-dwarfplanets/Ixion.html ). Now watch what happens…

This new astrological year has a brave Moon in Scorpio. Because the square of Jupiter and Uranus is tighter than the aspects with Pluto, I have hope for better times. But I always have…Anyway, I wish you all a happy astrological New Year! Spring is near on the Northern half of earth!
