On October 6, 2018 the roll call vote began for the
confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court at 3:44 PM.
At that time Jupiter ruler of law and judges was at the
most prominent point in sky conjunct the midheaven, which means it was directly
overhead in Washington, DC.
Women and their issues were prominent as well. Venus, in Scorpio, had turned retrograde the
day before and was in a difficult aspect with Mars in Aquarius, on the
Ascendant, another important point in the horoscope. Venus and Mars, women and men, in an aspect
of conflict accurately reflects the prevailing sentiments during this time.
Ceres, the dwarf planet, sat nice and cozy with the Sun
in Libra. Libra is all about
justice. Ceres, the Roman Demeter, is
the Goddess of grains and agriculture. She represents outraged motherhood. Heartbroken and incensed when her daughter
was abducted by Hades (Pluto) (rape), she halted the seasons, leaving a barren
world until her daughter was returned to her. They are both posited in Pluto’s
house, the 8th, along with the Moon in Virgo. Women, sex, power and
control, it’s all there.
The themes of women, violation, anger, and justice are
prominent throughout. Venus, retrograde in Scorpio, promises more to come. She will retrograde back into Libra, turn
direct on November 16th and reach the point in Scorpio where she is
now, again on December 17th.
These are significant dates and the news and tweets will reflect the
themes prevalent now.
This Venus is not a gal to mess with. In Scorpio, she
feels the hurts deeply, she will not forget, and yes, she will get even. No
matter how long it takes.
This entire episode has brought out more of the ugly,
undercurrent in our society. Women have
been silent about any abuse they have suffered.
As more women come forward we will begin to see that this type of bad
behavior is more common than previously thought.
Some politicians may rue the day women got the vote!
