Jupiter Ingress into Virgo

...and so it begins.

Gouchon, Barbault and Doolard worked independently on a planetary cyclic index that stemmed initially from why it was that astrologers did not spot World War II. Between them I believe they discovered a method that captures the strengths and fragilities of global energies. In a way it is similar in principle to the mapping of biorhythms but the impact is global rather than individual.

From 11 August 2015 to the end of 2020, we will see the gradual unravelling of the old generational structures and the development of new structures that will take us into the next 33-year Saturn / Pluto cycle. After 2020 the world will change gradually into something we would not recognise today but we must not leap too far ahead. The end of 2015 is where the unravelling of the old world really begins.

Jupiter makes a returning square to Saturn in Leo / Scorpio before it ingresses into Virgo.  Saturn had gone retrograde and back into Scorpio and stations at 28º Scorpio just as Jupiter comes into square. So 2nd and 3rd August may well be the point that surging ahead with societal developments are halted abruptly. Consider this the point where a train driver spots a train on the same track hurtling directly towards a head on collision and the only sensible course is to slam on the brakes.

Jupiter in Leo is full of hubris and confidence beyond what should be realistic. We have seen it this year as politicians tell us that the economy is recovering. Lots of people will believe this, and this is what they want to achieve, but some of us know that this is a blatant falsehood coupled with the massaging and manipulation of statistics. So when Jupiter hits the mutable sign of Virgo the inconvenience of detail and analysis start to get in the way of all that over confidence and statistical fiddling.

These critical degrees of 28 to 29 of the fixed signs (the Jupiter Saturn square)may well indicate what is to come. These are the degree areas where we often see a shift from the old focus and into the new. No longer is everything set in stone and the ‘keep to the same programme’ mantra a realistic option. Society has to change its perspective and this is where it begins. Jupiter and Saturn meet by conjunction in December 2020. It is not a long time to deal with the major changes about to take place.

Saturn goes forward to return to Sagittarius on 18 September 2015. With both societal planets now in mutable signs, and Neptune already ensconced in Pisces, the North Node moves from Libra to Virgo on 10 October 2015, just in time for the traditional UK State opening of Parliament. The City financiers response to the Queen’s speech can be quite telling and often the stock market will respond either positively or negatively to it. October is also a likely candidate for stock market crashes.

So two months of manoeuvring, or one might conjecture this as ‘unravelling’ we may attempt to strip bare the things that do not work but it may be like wrenching out of the hands of the unwilling that prized possession or sacred cow that cannot possibly be parted with, even though it may be falling apart and well past it’s sell by date.

Jupiter through Virgo has to create the changes sufficient to bring together people, systems and connections that may have been established individually and not designed to share. How do we go from this to that? This is the challenge to many a ‘ways and means’ committee.

Jupiter, the representation of expanding and participating, belief systems, higher education and money resides in the house of analytical Virgo, detailed, critical, precise, perverse and pliable to become a unit with skills and aptitude to be used by others. Jupiter is in it’s detriment. The ability to trust what we are told can be eroded, making our former comfort zone no longer comfortable. Those who have misled us will have a lot of explaining to do.

The analytical aspect of Jupiter in Virgo was demonstrated in 1955 by the introduction of Parkinson’s Law  which was a mathematical equation demonstrating the rate at which bureaucracies expand over time.

In the last day of September 1967, just days before the Jupiter ingress into Virgo, BBC radio completely restructures its national programming. Bigger things were happening around that time with Pluto Uranus conjunct in Virgo both sextile Neptune in Scorpio and Saturn in Aries sequiquadrate Neptune. The Vietnam war was not going too well, France vetoed the UK entry into the EEC and in the UK Harold Wilson wanted people to work an extra 30 minutes for no pay. This is a clear demonstration of how ‘steady as she goes’ was completely out of the question. In the US teachers conducted their first ever state-wide strike over funding. Lyndon B. Johnson calls for the non conversion of the US Dollar. 

Jupiter was in Pisces in 1974 (another mutable sign) when two general elections took place in the UK (Saturn in Cancer). Neptune in Sagittarius indicating massive dilution of global money that necessitated the first really big use of the credit card.

But as the Saturn Pluto cycle drew to a close Jupiter joined Saturn in Virgo at the end of September 1979. Pluto was in Libra semisextile Uranus in Scorpio, sextile Neptune in Sagittarius. Saturn was sextile returning to Uranus and returning Square to Neptune (The Saturn Neptune square does seem to indicate political change, especially within the Labour Party). Margaret Thatcher had won a victory over Labour earlier in the year when Jupiter was still in Leo. Filled with an over ideological mandate to bash the unions and rip the welfare state apart, her future policies destroyed the previous structures completely. Some saw this as a great victory and others a great disaster. Whatever the case the unravelling of the old structures began with analysing where the country was at the present.

Meanwhile in the US, the Federal Reserve System changed from an interest rate target policy to a money supply policy. Things were clearly being planned never to be the same again.

Jupiter in Virgo 1991 was almost unnoticed during the massive Uranus Neptune conjunction that saw the ongoing dissolution of the Soviet Union. Jupiter was in an outgoing inconjunct with Saturn. There were, however, reports of sexual misdemeanours and fraud, which given the circumstances of too much news going on were perhaps the only reported events relevant to Jupiter in Virgo. The more positive events passed by without comment; it happens.

Likewise when Jupiter ingressed into Virgo in August 2003, explosions both natural and man made were reported courtesy of the Mars Uranus conjunction at the time. But in July the Convention on the Future of Europe finishes its work and proposals for the first European Constitution were made, paving the way for the Lisbon treaty of 2009.

Meanwhile the US legalises same sex marriage causing ripples of discontent throughout the religious establishments.

Sufficient evidence exists that the focus of Jupiter in Virgo is to review where we stand and to analyse what works before discussing with others the proposals for change. Therefore anything that is changed unilaterally while Jupiter is in Virgo is something of a gamble. Focusing our minds back into 2015, it seems clear that the global monetary policy cannot continue with never ending quantitative easing and zero interest rates. Countries struggle to manage their financial obligations and austerity as a policy is not working. People no longer trust the government to work for them. Some people might say that they are finally waking up to what is really going on. Virgo opposes illusory Pisces, so is it possible that Virgo also draws reality from skepticism?

Greece voted by majority for the only party that stood on an anti austerity promise, winning a landslide victory. Now Greece is about to default on its debt, which could throw the entire European Union experiment into chaos.

Jupiter’s cycle with Neptune, at the point of ingress, is a mere 7º from starting a new cycle. By 16 September the opposition applies just two days before Saturn ingresses into Sagittarius. Money (Jupiter) dissolves (Neptune) as the structure is destabilised (Saturn in Sagittairus) through a breakdown in trade (Saturn semisquare Mercury, Mercury opposes Uranus)). Jupiter also applies by trine to Pluto, indicating the global impact of this event.

I think what is indicated here between the Jupiter Saturn returning square and the Jupiter Neptune opposition is how little time we will have between the declared placatory announcements when the oncoming train appears on the horizon to the sudden realisation that the brakes don’t actually work anymore.

People have talked a lot about a stock market crash and I predict that the period of 11 August 2015 to 16 September 2015 will contain all the necessary ingredients for it to happen. Whether the crash happens during this time or waits until the more favoured October 2015 depends on how much the powers that be continue to attempt to distort the market or hide the evidence. By 18 September, when Saturn ingresses into Sagittarius for a 2 and a half year stay, and Mercury goes stationary retrograde there could be a case for massive insider trading and fraudulent action before the whole corrupt system comes crashing down.

Another event to consider under the Jupiter Neptune opposition is whether is will take as long as 16 September to publish the Chilcot inquiry or whether it will take that long a time to digest the 1 million word document. We already know it will be published after the 7 May 2015 general election and we also know that the findings will be devastating. Everyone will get to find out that what we were led to believe (Jupiter) was in fact deceit (Neptune).

During the latter part of 2015 as Jupiter goes into Virgo it will become increasingly difficult to know what to believe. Expect confusion and conflicting reports. The powers that be will want to destabilise public opinion as much as possible; they do not want you to get together and to work as a collective. Progress will be made only as incontrovertible evidence is presented. There will be much to discuss as the glamour of Jupiter in Leo is lifted and the full horror of what is really going on is revealed.

For many years now there have been a few of us who have warned everyone to get ready for some really difficult times. This is a 3 month countdown for anyone who wants to get in front of the masses.
