Women in this country also keep being strongly represented. The question is whether women will cave in and sacrifice their needs (Venus opposed the Moon and Neptune), or will they inspire people to unite behind collective values. More about the role of women later.
The most difficult placement in this chart relates to Mars opposing Pluto pointing to more struggles for control. The Iraq war is the obvious expression of this placement, but the fight is also happening within the country as different ideas and philosophies keep being in conflict (Pluto in Sagittarius is in the 4th house of domestic affairs.)
Impact of the Solar Eclipse of 9/11/2007
This year’s 4th quarter may be more significant than others, because an eclipse occurred just a few weeks prior to the Equinox. 2007 is a potent year as you may recall there was also an eclipse before the 2007 Spring Equinox. This cosmic placement might influence the country’s direction for about a year. Some Astrologers have observed the influence of eclipses to last as long as three and a half years. Therefore the outcome of what is happening now may take a while to become obvious. Ironically this eclipse happened this past 9/11. Considering the amount of change the country has been subjected to since that day in 2001, having more light shed on the facts of the events is a necessity that the eclipse is pointing toward (Eclipse exactly conjuncts the Sun of 9/11/2001.) Another interpretation of the eclipse placement shows that the subconscious of the country is in need of a great shake up in order to heal (In the eclipse chart the Sun and Moon fall in the 12th house opposed Uranus in the 6th).
By adding the eclipse chart into the current interpretation, we could say that women in this country are meant to lead the nation (Venus rules the Libra Ascendant of the eclipse chart, and the Moon rules the MC). The creative power of women motivates them to establish a noble yet compassionate community. In addition, American women of every religious background are now called to generate a workable philosophy of their faith (Venus in Leo trines Jupiter in Sagittarius and opposed Neptune in Aquarius.) Meanwhile, common people are possibly clashing with the President and the balance is becoming more volatile and more unpredictable than usual (the Moon is eclipsing the Sun opposing Uranus.)
