The New Moon and the Signs from Above will reveal the essence of key events until May 18, provided, of course, that we choose to take them into account. Indeed, they will determine the course of major events during this period. Given that the ongoing military conflict between Ukraine and Russia is currently at the center of attention, let us examine the situation of interest through the system of symbolic interpretation of zodiacal degrees. The New Moon degree is 29th in Aries. A time of behind-the-scenes leaders of incredible cruelty masked by outward sentimentality, charm, and enchantment. This degree is often associated with spies possessing exceptional ability to transform, disguise, and intrigue. Decisiveness in decision-making, followed by swift execution—this will be the most advantageous strategy in the coming lunar month. However, since both rulers of Aries—Mars and Pluto—are interacting with Lilith (Black Moon) to form a “Closed Trine” configuration, one of the sides may end up playing the role of a cowardly and irresponsible parasite due to blocked perception of reality. Miracles, mysteries, and the mystical. And since this symbolizes Development (evolution) in alignment with co-creation with cosmic order, every event this month will be a Sign from Above.
In the New Moon charts for Russia (Moscow as capital) and Ukraine (Kyiv as capital), there is a common feature: the Ascendant positioned in Scorpio, indicating an increase in accidents, disasters, natural catastrophes, and escalation of conflicts, including military and revolutionary ones. However, the degrees differ. For Ukraine, it is the 21st degree: instability, numerous severe trials, a time of great responsibility for the fates of many people. Conflict between old and new perspectives. Readiness to accept chaos for the sake of future order. Most likely, this may manifest as conflict within the military. BE CAREFUL! “A two-headed giant: in his right hand—a massive club, in his left—a tree torn from its roots.” This is the symbol of Coercion and Suppression. The 6th degree of the 10th natal house—”Naked among the clothed.” Misfortune, debts, constant changes, and heavy dependence on circumstances.
For Russia, it is the 22nd degree: predation, transgression of all moral principles. Grants great power, cunning, rage, inclination toward murder, audacity, and treachery. Adventurism of a robber-like nature. The instinct of a high-stakes gambler. Enormous risk and bluffing, through which victory may be achieved. BE CAREFUL! “Duck hunters crossing through a swamp.” Aggressive pursuit of internal or external support. Purposeful fulfillment of desires. Tragic realization of ideals. Socially accepted release of individual or collective aggressive instincts. BUT this is also a degree of FALL. Higher Powers may intervene. And then, as retribution, madness, exile, or violent death. The 10th degree of the 6th natal house—”A broken biscuit.”
