Aries ingress (Jupiter Saturn Square )
Aries ingress on 20th March as we see this day as starting point of Spring. This day’s chart has an important influence for the whole spring season ( 20 Mar – 21 Jun ). Jupiter Saturn square suggest tension in politics and the Economy.
On 22 March several explosions occurred in Brussels. Before we leap into Transit we better understand what Aries Ingress chart and Eclipse Chart means for this area .
For Brussels, Mars and Saturn are near the Mc. Don’t forget these two malefic planets have recently slowed down. Saturn will be stationary on 16 degrees Sagittarius and go retrograde from 16 degrees Sagittarius to 9 degrees Sagittarius, across Belgium’s Ascendent.
Then I have also noticed that most countries are going to have Mars or outer Planets on the angles on the Aries ingress chart. There are:
Japan China, Taiwan , Philippine , Australia ( NSW and Queensland ) Thailand Malaysia Indonesia Singapore , Iran Iraq , India , Nepal
Poland, Czech Austria , Slovenia , Italy UK France Germany ( West Europe countries )
US ( East coast , New England area, North West and Alaska) West coast of Canada (near Vancouver) Cuba and near area
Lunar Eclipse (Full Moon) on 23 Mar 2016
The Lunar Eclipse will affect us for at least the next 6 months. It is a full moon, however, when Sun,Earth and Moon are aligned and Earth caught in between the Sun and the Moon. The Earth blocks the light from the Sun and causes a Lunar Eclipse, therefore astrologers believe a Lunar Eclipse has Full Moon quality with an influence that lasts longer and is more powerful.
If you read my article about the “2016 Solar Eclipse“ you will remember that this Eclipse belongs to Saros Series 18 South major influence on Trading, Financial matters and Relationships. It suggests ending and separation. This is what we may be learning from the news for at least the next 6 months (if we are not counting other astrological factors).
On 23 March 2016 we will have a Lunar Eclipse (Full Moon) at 3 degrees Aries Libra axis. If you have any planets located at 3 degrees Aries or 3 degrees Libra (give 5 degrees orb if you like), you are more likely to be influenced by the Lunar Eclipse for the next 6 months. You can focus on relationship and co-operation. Also focus on the houses where this Lunar Eclipse locate in your chart.
As this Lunar Eclipse is related to the New Moon of end of September 2014 and 1st quarter Moon on end of June 2015. (These two Lunation phases share the same degrees of the recent Lunar Eclipse) , therefore the events (Social or Personal) happening during that period are more likely to have a notable result for the next two weeks.
Also I have noticed that the early degrees of cardinal is an important area of the zodiac as many important countries have Sun Moon Ascendent and MC in this area.
Sun (China, France 1st Rep) ,
Moon ( UK-1066, Greece Democracy, Indonesia, Iran Khomeini ) ,
Ascendent Axis (Australia ,Germany, India, Palestine, UK 1801) ,
Mc IC Axis (Egypt, USA-Sibly ,France 5th Rep).

Saturn retrograde
Saturn is retrograde from 25 Mar to 14 Aug this year, It moves backward from 16 Sag to 9 Sag. During this time our social development has potential to be held back , People feel the need to protect themselves and their property. Society focuses on security and protecting what we have rather than taking risks and going in new directions.
More important Saturn will be stationary between 23-27 March. We are usually very careful during outer planet stationary as it usually suggests instability in politics and economics. Disasters also easily happen during this time. Saturn is stationary at 16 degrees Sagittarius 24. If you have planet near this degree you may be affected this Stationary Saturn. I suggest you focus on a Saturn theme, relationship with authority, responsibility, safety and security.
You can also focus on planets that contact with the Stationary Saturn, the house they are located in and the house they rule. Also the following countries have Sun Moon Ascendent and Mc on 16 degrees Sagittarius, these countries are more likely to have Saturnian even in for next three months.
Sun: Finland Ireland Sweden(Constitution) Russia (1991), Norway (opposite Sun) Italy (opposite Sun)
Moon: North Korea Croatia Slovania
Ascendent: Cyprus , Belgium, Indonesia Malaysia New Zealand, Thailand,Syria, USA Sibly
Mc:Denmark MC
Venus square Saturn and Mars square Neptune
After a full moon we have Venus square Saturn and Mars square Neptune. Venus square Saturn suggests a difficult situation in the financial market. This suggests those countries affected by the Lunar Eclipse and stationary Saturn need to be very careful with their economic situation. This could also suggest suppression of female states in society, as it happen in the Lunar Eclipse it could appear in media as a shocking social event.
Mars waning square Neptune suggests we are in the end of the Mars Neptune cycle. For some people it is a difficult time, as they just “see“ that the environment (the society) are not supporting them to fulfil their “dreams“ although they fight very hard, chasing these dreams, but it is the end of the cycle and they need to learn to let it go. Usually Mars Neptune contact gives us warning on public health systems, be cautious if there is any news about flu virus or any kind of epidemic.
Last Quarter Moon on 1st April
There is a last Quarter Moon on 1 April , It will have influence for next 7 days , the waning moon suggests letting go of things that we don’t need anymore however that is not easy and most of us will fight to keep things as we are used to it (even we don’t need it). Therefore we may find it difficult to let things go away and struggle to keep things where they are. This last quarter Moon related to the new Moon of January 2014 and 1st quarter Moon of October 2014. If there is some event happen during this time, it could be affected. For example: Latvia officially adopts the euro as its currency, this could suggest something maybe going to happen in Latvia’s economy, on this day thirteen states of US increase the minimum wage.
Although the Saturn Neptune square is not in tight orb in the Lunar Eclipse chart and Aries ingress chart but after Saturn retrograde, the square will become tighter suggesting an increased pressure for next few months. Retrogrades Saturn in Sagittarius suggests holding back and s conservative mindset. The domestic issue is more likely focus on the declining financial situation and cuts to social benefit (UK has just cut benefits for the disabled last week ).
We usually notice that conflict between middle eastern countries and western countries happens when Saturn forms a hard aspect with Neptune. If we consider both Aries ingress and Lunar Eclipse ’s indication we will notice Palestine , Iran , Syria and Egypt are more likely to get involved. Saturn is the boundary , so that recent refugee crisis in EU countries could be triggered by Retrograde Saturn and Saturn square Neptune soon.
