Period of Ingress: The fixed sign Aquarius is rising, so this chart is applicable for the rest of the astrological year, nine months until the 2023 Aries ingress. It thus modifies/conditions the 2022 Aries ingress.
Summary: The PM's focus on foreign affairs to the detriment of the economy (particularly labour force issues which may include public health issues) does not go down well and leads to continued declines in the popularity of the government. The position of men may improve in the media and the opposition is likely to find a way to get the support of women. The last covid restrictions on travel are likely to be removed, benefiting tourism, and international trade improves with the likely resolution of any supply chain issues.
Ruling Planet: With Aquarius rising, Uranus, the ruler of Aquarius, is the ruling planet of this chart. Uranus is in its fall in Taurus and no longer has any aspects to other planets, so parliament and influential social groups may be relatively free of external influences.
The Sun: The Sun represents the PM. In this chart the sun is afflicted by squares with the Moon (at odds with political class), Jupiter (scandal likely), and Neptune (unpopularity and misfortune); and only helped by a trine with Saturn (gives strength through prudence and skill rather than popularity). It is in the 5th house (ruled by Mercury), suggesting troubled times for speculative markets (the housing bubble?) or the entertainment industry (tourism? the All Blacks?).
The Moon: The moon represents the political class and is in Aries and is peregrine, and is afflicted by a square with the Sun (at odds with the PM) and by a conjunct with Neptune (ruling 2nd house – productive economy), and helped by conjunct with Jupiter (ruling 11th house – legislative) and by sextiles with Mercury (ruling 5th and 8th house – speculative markets and entertainment, and foreign trade and money), and Venus (ruling 4th house and 9th house – agriculture and judiciary). It is in the second house which is favourable for prosperity and agriculture, suggesting a focus shifting to them from the political class, helped by a sextile with Venus and conjunction with Jupiter. Conjunction with Neptune indicates antagonism between the political class and the general populace. Speeches or essays may have more influence than usual on political and cultural climate (sextile with Mercury).
First House – the common people: The cusp is in Aquarius which is ruled by Uranus. Uranus is in its fall in Taurus, so things are likely to remain in a state of not looking great for the common people.
Second House – the general economy: The cusp is in Pisces which is ruled by Neptune. Neptune is in its rulership in Pisces so strongly dignified, but afflicted by a square with the Sun, and this is reinforced by a weak conjunction with the peregrine Moon. This suggests that the economy will not get any favours from the PM or the political classes. But with Neptune in the second house the focus of the people is likely to be the general economy.
Third House – transport, communications, media: The cusp is in Aries which is ruled by Mars. Mars is in its rulership in Aries so strongly dignified, with no aspects. Mars is also in the third house. This suggests an improved relationship between men and the media.
Fourth House – agriculture, real estate, the opposition: The cusp is in Taurus which is ruled by Venus. Venus is in its rulership in Taurus so strongly dignified, but afflicted by a square with Saturn, and helped by a sextile with Neptune in its rulership. The opposition is likely to gain strength with the women’s vote but have a troubled relationship with the provinces.
Fifth House – speculation, tourism, entertainment industry, sport: The cusp is in Gemini which is ruled by Mercury. Mercury is in its rulership in Gemini so strongly dignified, and helped by sextiles with the Moon and Jupiter (favours prosperity in general). This bodes well for tourism with improvements to travel (sextile with Moon) possibly through removal of the last covid travel restrictions.
Sixth House – public health, labour force, civil service: The cusp is in Cancer which is ruled by the Moon. The Moon is peregrine and afflicted by a square with the Sun and by a conjunct with Neptune, and helped by conjunct with Jupiter and by sextiles with Mercury and Venus. This suggests issues with public health or the labour force affecting the productive economy, but alleviated by relaxing of corporate policies (perhaps with legislative support) and the support of the chattering classes.
Seventh House – foreign affairs: The cusp is in Leo which is ruled by the Sun. The Sun is peregrine in Cancer and afflicted by squares with the Moon (the political classes), Jupiter (corporations), and Neptune (the common people); and only helped by a trine with Saturn (the provinces). Essentially, the focus of the PM on foreign affairs probably lacks widespread support.
Eighth House – foreign trade: The cusp is in Virgo which is ruled by Mercury. Mercury is in Gemini (its other ruler) so strongly dignified, and helped by sextiles with the Moon (possible new trade agreements or the freeing up of trade) and Jupiter (favourable for trade). This suggests that trade finally opens up fully after all the supply chain issues.
Ninth House – judiciary, universities, air travel: The cusp is in Libra which is ruled by Venus. Venus is in Taurus (its other ruler) so strongly dignified, but afflicted by a square with Saturn, and helped by sextiles with the Moon and Neptune. This is favourable for the condition of women in higher education and the legal sphere, but also indicates the possibility of friction between the judiciary or universities and the provinces.
Tenth House – the executive branch: The cusp is in Scorpio which is ruled by Mars. Mars is in Aries (one of its rulers) so strongly dignified, with no aspects. This suggests that the men’s vote will get the attention of the executive branch, perhaps through an increased focus on law and order. This a major turnaround from the Aries ingress.
Eleventh House – the legislature: The cusp is in Sagittarius which is ruled by Jupiter. Jupiter is peregrine in Aries, afflicted by a square with the Sun, conjunct with the Moon, and helped by a sextile with Mercury. This suggests the possibility some conflict between corporations, backed by the political classes and media, and the PM over legislation, with the PM winning.
Twelfth House – national institutions: The cusp is in Capricorn which is ruled by Saturn. Saturn is peregrine in Aquarius, afflicted by a square with Venus and helped by a trine with the Sun. A provincial focus on institutions may run counter to the women’s vote despite support from the PM.
