Happy Birthday to the United States of America!
The 2009 USA Solar Return is an Aries chart, which may mean war and rumours of war.
The ruler of Aries, Mars, is connected by aspect to Venus, Uranus, Jupiter and Neptune as well as Pluto in the natal chart and that means that there is a lot happening.
The Mars aspect that is worrisome is the square to Jupiter/Neptune. Astrologers don’t like to call any aspect a ‘negative’ aspect but Mars/Neptune sure comes close. The ego-bound, ambitious energies of Mars don’t blend at all well with the ethereal, spiritual, dream-like qualities of Neptune — unless they are in the hands of a very highly evolved soul where they become a transcendent change of purpose and direction. On the mortal level, Mars/Neptune is muddy, sneaky and dangerous. It is fortunate that there other strong aspects to Mars that may mitigate the danger.
Pluto has changed direction and, for now, is moving away from the Venus opposition that caused so much turmoil in the financial sector last year. It will return to that position in December of this year and January, 2010 and back and forth for the next couple of years. Things will not go back to the way they were.
As in the 2008 Solar Return, Pluto is again opposite Mercury, continuing the huge ideological debate about the direction that the country should take.
