This chart is very powerful and spicy hot! Because Aries is rising, the astrological houses are in synch with the natural zodiac. This means planetary energies are amplified, making everything more pronounced. Because this New Moon gives birth to yearly cycle we can take this as a clear hint that global transformation will begin on the American continent.

Aside from Sun and Moon, the most important detail of an astrological chart is the Ascendant/Descendant axis which represents the horizon. This is where heaven and earth intersect and meet, where cosmic energies most directly feed into our Earth's grid.

 

Revolutionary Uranus, the ruler of the New Moon's sign Aquarius sits exactly at the Ascendant. Uranus is rising, in pioneering Aries, in hexagram #51, "The Arousing, Shock", conjunct Vesta (dedication) and Eris (provocation). This group is opposing the Black Moon Lunar apogee (center of the cyclone) which sits at the Descendant, the 7th house cusp, in Libra, hexagram #57, "The Gentle, Penetration of the Wind".

These intense charges beam up into the tenth house of public and governmental affairs. Here we find transformative Pluto, feeding/triggering the 'personal planets' Venus and Mercury. Venus represents our desires, what moves and motivates us. And Mercury resonates with our understanding, with intelligence, communication and our ability to piece it all together. Pluto and Venus are in hexagram #54, "Marriage", Mercury in # 61, "Inner Truth, Knowing". All this taken together reveals immense potentials for unprecedented revolutionary changes. Most likely we will see a dramatic uptick in momentum, transforming the united States of America from ground up.

All of this is supported by the Aquarius Sun/Moon in house 11, the sign/house of friendship, of joining forces for the common good. It looks as if time has arrived for humanity to finally push the doors wide open, so the Golden Age of galactic cooperation may begin.

 

The grand trine, formed by Venus/Mercury (our perception), Sedna (common heritage, resources) and Jupiter/Lunar North Node (expansion, healing) roots this dynamic process of transformation in sustainability and preservation for the many generations to come.
