Uranus conjuncts* Albion< conjuncts* 1996-TR66> in Taurus from April 9, 2020 to May 12, 2022. The blood rivalry that drives the plot which John Richardson develops & unfolds in The Canadian Brothers during the War of 1812 between the British, not only of England but also of Upper Canada, and the newly formed United States of America began some fifty years earlier during Pontiac’s War, circa 1763 – again, in a plot which John Richardson develops & unfolds in Wacousta. During Richardson’s depiction of Pontiac’s War, as the British & a loose confederacy of Indian tribes led by the highly honored yet wily Ottawan chief Pontiac conspired & fought to hold Fort Detroit at the northern end of the Detroit River in Lake St. Clair, the eponymous anti-hero of Richardson’s saga recounts his early military career with the British Colonel in charge of Fort Detroit, Charles de Haldimar, to Clara, the daughter of Colonel de Haldimar whom Wacousta had just recently captured, and how he fell from the good graces of the British military while engaging in a romantic battle for the heart of Clara’s mother, Clara Beverley, with his current & unending arch-foe, Charles de Haldimar, “I have said that our intimacy excited surprise amongst our brother officers. It did; for all understood and read the character of your father, who was as much disliked and distrusted for the speciousness of his false nature, as I was generally esteemed for the frankness and warmth of mine.”  

ARIES – In a military fort, a strict commander can ensure absolute compliance, as there is no way for soldiers to break rules without getting caught. To break any rules, Uranus, Albion & 1996-TR66 demand that you ask permission from the strict commander – because your peers will not tolerate it. Better to suck it up with the rest of them.  

TAURUS – Your staunch obedience to rules in strict & repressive circumstances confuses your colleagues, who see such strict & repressive circumstances as anathema to your self-interest. Uranus, Albion & 1996-TR66 states that what these colleagues don’t know is that you have found a way for such strict & repressive circumstances to serve your self-interest. Keep all of this to yourself.  

GEMINI – When prices fluctuate, you want to know why – there must be an answer. Uranus, Albion & 1996-TR66 give you the impression that prices now fluctuate because of some individual’s unethical, short-term, misguided & unenlightened self-interest which causes hardship to many & undue exposure to all. Investigate.  

CANCER – Somebody seeks permission from one in charge to act in contradistinction to formalized orders. Will one in charge grant the request? Uranus, Albion & 1996-TR66 reply that this depends upon the inherent core legitimacy of those formalized orders & whether or not the request violates the reason such formalized orders exist.  

LEO – While those under your charge consider making requests to you to relieve the protocol under which all labor, Uranus, Albion & 1996-TR66 smile as they watch you actively consider ways to make such protocol stricter!  

VIRGO – Aficionados of literature & art: You do not, under any circumstances, favor diversity for its own sake – but you don’t think in terms of conformity to Eurocentrism, either. Uranus, Albion & 1996-TR66 therefore make your vocation even tougher: Just because some smug, jaded subscriber to The New Yorker has not heard of a writer or an artist does not mean that that writer or artist is some helpless hayseed provincial. Continue forward in your efforts to expand the canon – including reading your subscription to The New Yorker in order to keep track of breaking updates to contemporary dogma.  

LIBRA – While Robert Penn Warren focuses upon how power in Louisiana state politics pollutes Louisiana Governor Huey Long’s as Louisiana Governor Willie Stark’s, eternal soul, in All the King’s Men, John Dos Passos focuses upon how power in Louisiana state politics pollutes Tyler Spotswood’s eternal soul , as Tyler Spotswood works for Louisiana Governor Huey Long as Louisiana Governor Chuck Crawford in Number One, the second book of Dos Passos’ trilogy District of Columbia. Uranus, Albion & 1996-TR66 all agree that, if the reader does deep enough in each book, the reader will learn that what lead’s Stark & Spotswood to corruption is the same motivation: Resentment against someone in power who owns their soul.  

SCORPIO – Even partners that have known each other for many years will become uncharacteristically reticent, almost as if they interpret a verbal question or even a personal greeting as a reason to defend themselves. Uranus, Albion & 1996-TR66 explain that this is because so many other people who talk to those long-term partners in order to jerk them around in all sorts of unexpected ways. It therefore behooves you, if you want your relationships with such partners to return to normal, that you find a way to regain their trust.  

SAGITTARIUS – Whether you deal with employees, colleagues or bosses, Uranus, Albion & 1996-TR66 remind you that everybody is adjusting to new sets of workplace circumstances, sometimes on a daily, and sometimes on an hourly, basis. Make personal allowances for shared chaos.  

CAPRICORN – Certain artists or musicians inclined to experiment can nevertheless, if necessary, revert to their signature style if they feel that they have led their core audience too far out on a limb. Whether you are an artist, musician or otherwise, Uranus, Albion & 1996-TR66 advise you to determine what your own contrivance for safety & security is when you don’t want to take any more risks.  

AQUARIUS – The coronavirus pandemic makes everybody want to get out of town – but the coronavirus pandemic emphasizes that getting out of town won’t do any good. As such, Uranus, Albion & 1996-TR66 strongly advises the lone Aquarian to make their home not their castle but their single occupancy only insane asylum so that you will be able to co-exist with the lunatics in your family without drooling or biting.  

PISCES – As far as you are concerned, the rules are for everyone. Whether or not you are law enforcement, Uranus, Albion & 1996-TR66 expect the Big Fish to enforce the rules – and who exactly is going to stop you?  

< Albion is the first “cubewano” or low-eccentricity transneptunian object (TNO) (named after its provisional designation 1992-QB1), located more than halfway between the orbits of Neptune and Pluto at aphelion discovered on August 30, 1992. Albion (which is also the ancient Greek name for the island of Great Britain) is named after the son of Poseidon, who, along with his brother Dercynus or Bergion, died during their attack upon Hercules as he passed through Albion’s homeland of Liguria.

! 1996-TR66 is an unnamed transneptunian object (TNO) discovered on October 8, 1996.

Okyrhoe% in Pisces
transits Retrograde Motion*
from June 15 to November 10, 2020,
Nessus! in Pisces
transits Retrograde Motion*
from June 12 to November 23, 2020, and
Neptune in Pisces
transits Retrograde Motion*
from June 22 to November 29, 2020.

“I don’t care to which mayor, governor, premier or – ahem! – president you may refer,” the young female college graduate prefaced her remarks. “In the midst of a crisis, you must keep order so that people still know what to do after the crisis is ended. The leader must establish an example for all to follow.”

“I’m an old lady & I don’t need any example to follow,” the grandmother chastened the young female college graduate. “I need the leader to keep order in society. If the leader keeps order when people suffer, the leader will be absolute superstars for their next three lives. If the leader fails through arrogance, neglect & corruption, the leader will be a drunk, a whore or a cockroach.”

“I just need to know what to do,” the mother told the grandmother & the granddaughter. “If you issue clear directions, I will follow them once – and follow them again. If you give me confusing & stupid directions, I will get lost only once, because I will stop listening. I have a brain of my own!”  

ARIES – You need government leaders only to a certain degree – but Okyrhoe, Nessus & Neptune, all Retrograde in Pisces, state that you first must trust those leaders. If you do, consult it. If not, find leadership worthy of your trust.

TAURUS – Can you handle yourself at a rock concert, a rowdy restaurant or an amusement park? Can you handle yourself & your family at those same places? Okay, third question for all the money – Okyrhoe, Nessus & Neptune, all Retrograde in Pisces, ask, “Can you handle yourself, or yourself & your family – anywhere – now that coronavirus has changed all the ‘rules’?”  

GEMINI – Bosses aren’t pushing all the employees around so much with new coronavirus regulations slowing everybody down. Okyrhoe, Nessus & Neptune, all Retrograde in Pisces, suggest that you find out from the local government if you can report your employer for certain infractions – especially if their capitalistic hubris rises.  

CANCER – Spirituality or religion can feel quite liberating when you are single & without responsibilities. However, once you are married with children or hold professional responsibilities, Okyrhoe, Nessus & Neptune, all Retrograde in Pisces, warn that religion & spirituality issue forth a high tax upon all misconduct – and that tax stings.  

LEO – The younger you are & the less experience that you have in the professional workplace, the more that the good & bad examples of older & more experienced work colleagues under the current influence of Okyrhoe, Nessus & Neptune, all Retrograde in Pisces, will teach you, in both crystal clear & dark disturbing terms, respectively, of what to do & of what not to do. Conversely, the older & more experienced you are, the clearer that everybody else will see what, and the consequences of what, you say & do.

VIRGO – The women in your life, both within & outside your family, not only have differing opinions than you, but Okyrhoe, Nessus & Neptune, all Retrograde in Pisces, declare that, more importantly, they both arrive at their opinions from different perspectives rooted in generational time as well as physical space. Try to listen more – and more closely.  

LIBRA – Managers, especially men: An impersonal approach to women under your charge will insult them just as much as an overtly sexist one. Okyrhoe, Nessus & Neptune, all Retrograde in Pisces, criticize that none of these women of all ages are particularly interested in, and certainly not impressed by, your “organization man” approach to business. You may not care – but, one day, one of them may make you regret your yuppie indifference.  

SCORPIO – Women of all ages love your sense of humor – and it does not matter if you are male or female. Okyrhoe, Nessus & Neptune, all Retrograde in Pisces, are all impressed with how you use your wicked sense of humor to penetrate with unpleasant truths. Kind of like having Don Rickles as a guidance counselor!  

SAGITTARIUS – Your spouse turns to you & says, “Our daughter looks like your mother.” And your spouse is right – your daughter acts like your mother, too. Okyrhoe, Nessus & Neptune, all Retrograde in Pisces, are curious, “What does that mean?” Is this something between your mother & your daughter? Is this a harbinger for your entire family?  

CAPRICORN – Well aware you are of the different perspectives of the young, middle-aged & old women who speak & discuss life with you. However, Okyrhoe, Nessus & Neptune, all Retrograde in Pisces, signify that a closer look & deeper understanding of Eric Berne’s transactional analysis may help you make more insightful points to sophisticated & attractive women of all ages who are already impressed by your worldly & psychological depth.  

AQUARIUS – Aquarius, the champion of identifying common ground, confronts quite a dilemma with their current group of friends spanning many generations. And, indeed, Okyrhoe, Nessus & Neptune, all Retrograde in Pisces, ask, “Why look too closely too quickly? Why not agree to disagree?” Thrash through ingenious discourse.  

PISCES – You may gain sudden insights & come to final conclusions about yourself, your family, your generation or your country under the current influence of Okyrhoe, Nessus & Neptune, all Retrograde in Pisces, simply by co-existing in the presence of other generations of your family, both older & younger . . . completely in silence.  

% Okyrhoe, a centaur planet that traverses between the orbits of Jupiter & Saturn, was discovered in September 1998 & named in June 2003. Okyrhoe (meaning “rapid flow”), the daughter of Chiron & Chariklo, had offended the Fates by using her gift of prophesy. Okyrhoe transformed into a mare and was given the new name Hippe. For information on how to interpret Okyrhoe, formerly 1998-SG35, note reference to Philip Sedgwick below.  

! Nessus, named after the centaur whose bloodied & semen-stained shirt eventually killed Hercules, was discovered during the siege at Waco in April 1993 & named in 1997. Nessus bridges the gap in consciousness between Saturn & Pluto, forcing us to discard naivete about jealousy, anger, irrationality & evil in ourselves & in others so that we may cultivate the will & the stomach to evolve as a species.

Pluto
in Capricorn
transits Retrograde Motion*
from April 25 to October 4, 2020,
Hylonome(a)
in Capricorn
transits Retrograde Motion*
from April 19 to September 23, 2020,
Amycus(b)

While many astrologers & astrology aficionados place great importance upon the upcoming Pluto Return of the United States of America (July 4, 1776; 4:47 P.M. LMT; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) on February 21, 2022, July 11, 2022 and December 28, 2022, these astrologers & astrology aficionados overlook that the Founding Fathers vested the U.S.A. as a sovereign nation previous to the discovery of the planet Uranus. The U.S.A. at its inception shattered a geopolitical mindset, previous to the shattering of an astronomical mindset, that had formed commencing with the economic, political & military peak of the Italian city states circa the 13th century. Frozen in that moment in time, its newly formed institutions, forged over a decade, and its geopolitical concerns of its day bear no relationship to the geopolitical concerns that the U.S.A. faces today. Furthermore, many of the recently discovered planets that currently influence & color the upcoming U.S.A. Pluto Return not only reflect modern considerations involving the geopolitics of the U.S.A., but also, as in the case of Hylonome, affected the U.S.A.’s natal Pluto at the time of its founding. While some astrologers may take astronomer Mike Brown’s approach – exclude Pluto because Pluto is unimportant – more prudent astrologers will take a more conservative approach. Isolate the meaning of the influence. Identify when different entities, politicians, players & individuals overemphasize or underplay these influences. Integrate the most useful & evolved influences together in a productive rather than a counterproductive confluence.  

ARIES – Any indication that bosses run short of economic capital or operating cash should serve as a serious red flag that you cannot disregard. The Retrograde Stellium in Capricorn insists that bosses get less slack than the average Joe. The average Joe is dealing with the rent, the mortgage & the year ahead. If the boss is only dealing with the rent, the mortgage & the year ahead, instead of the next decade . . . get another boss.  

TAURUS – The great police commissioners of the modern era such as William Bratton & John Timoney may have begun their career focused upon fighting crime. However, by the end of their various terms, their work bordered upon social engineering – improving the fundamental nature of masses of people. Keeping this in mind, the Retrograde Stellium in Capricorn declares that you should judge every cop that you see on the street or in the world from the perspective, “How does this public servant accelerate the participation of those whom they protect into the civic duties of citizenship?”  

GEMINI – Certain Americans only pay attention to the spread of the Coronavirus because of its influence upon per share prices of Apple. This is not to say that everybody, let alone investors, should disregard the economic consequences of geopolitical trends – but the Retrograde Stellium in Capricorn emphasizes that the consequences of geopolitical trends sometimes profoundly transcend those economic consequences.  

CANCER – In “The Moral Obligation to be Intelligent,” the literary critic Lionel Trilling noted that characters in John Dos Passos U.S.A. trilogy did not fully develop themselves as individuals so that they may adjust their personalities & worldly interests amidst changing economic & sociological indicators. The Retrograde Stellium in Capricorn suggest that you may notice similar tendencies amongst business partners. Assert your own interests. Do not allow vested partners to change with the wind.  

LEO – You have seen more than your fair share of sweeping changes in your industry sector or professional workplace. If you see where & how you should direct change next, the Retrograde Stellium in Capricorn implores you, “Speak up!”  

VIRGO – Former Pittsburgh Pirate Roberto Clemente is a legitimate candidate for Catholic sainthood after giving his life to transport provisions to Managua, Nicaragua following a devastating earthquake. The 2017 Houston Astros brought the reputation of their entire city down with them by stealing the World Series Championship via their sign-stealing enterprise. And then there is O.J. Simpson. The bottom line? The Retrograde Stellium in Capricorn replies that success in athletics opens doors for the successful everywhere – Heaven, Hell & the Nevada State Penitentiary. Be guided accordingly.  

LIBRA – Vast & numerous simultaneous sweeping changes alter the appearance, pace & attitude of the city. Some of these simultaneous changes are coordinated by power brokers & others respond or react to those coordinated simultaneous sweeping changes. The Retrograde Stellium in Capricorn will reward you if you take pains to distinguish the former from the latter.  

SCORPIO – Even as you delegate responsibilities to various types of project leaders to issue instructions & to quantify execution time & performance quality, you coordinate directly with too many disparate intellects & personalities. The Retrograde Stellium in Capricorn urges you to simplify. You don’t need a cadre or an entourage – you need a right-hand man or woman. Just one!  

SAGITTARIUS – Until you consolidate your debt to absolute zero, the Retrograde Stellium in Capricorn warns that disorganized personal financial sprawl will make you vulnerable to missing a key deadline – whether contributing to your 401K or whether paying off a transferred balance on a credit card previous to its restoration . . . to 16% annual interest.  

CAPRICORN – There is no reason to allow your own psychological depths to overwhelm you. You harbor an extensive range of personality attributes developed over a rich personal history – especially if you came of age as Neptune transited Capricorn from 1984 to 1998. Still, the Retrograde Stellium in Capricorn confirms that you need not look in the mirror singing the Who’s “Who Are You?” (“Who who? Who who?”) Do – or, rather, be – what is practical in the moment. Revel in your own psychological profundity by yourself or with those whom you love.  

AQUARIUS – The Retrograde Stellium in Capricorn implements so many sweeping simultaneous changes to your infrastructure that it makes you feel like a bird looking on the outer limb of a branch on a tree which loggers are cutting down. Indeed, metaphorically, that might be the case. Well, whatever these changes may be, simply remember that, as an Aquarian, you can, and sometimes should, just pick up – and fly somewhere else.  

PISCES – Everybody else amongst your professional associates now changes direction, changes jobs, changes locations – but you don’t. The Retrograde Stellium in Capricorn is well aware that Pisces the Big Fish does not change its direction as a result of the vicissitudes of governments, economies, cities or restless populations. You know what motivates you & you stick to it. Say hello to all your new friends, “First time in the big city?”  

(a) Hylonome, named after the wife of centaur Cyllarus, with whom she died during the Centaurs' battle with the Lapiths, was discovered in February 1995 & named during the year 2000. Hylonome bridges the gap in consciousness between Uranus & Neptune, forcing us to draw unexpected links between "accident" & "devotion" much more rapidly than is either wise or comfortable.

(b) Amycus, a centaur planet which crosses across the orbits of Uranus & Neptune between the orbit of Saturn & the more remote portion of the orbit of Pluto, was discovered in April 2002 and named in December 2005. Amycus was the first centaur to engage in battle with the Lapiths by smashing the face of the Lapith Celadon with a candelabrum stripped from the inmost wedding shrine. For information on how to interpret Amycus, formerly 2002-GB10, note reference to Philip Sedgwick below.  

(c) Chariklo, named after the wife of the centaur Chiron who enjoyed a close friendship with Pallas Athena, was discovered in February 1997 & named in September 1999. Chariklo helps Chiron to bridge the gap in consciousness between Saturn & Uranus, reminding us that we have to employ vision, perception & imagination when we find no leeway & no loopholes in the entrenched status quo.  

(d) 2001-KF77 is an unnamed centaur planet discovered on May 22, 2001. The orbit of 2001-KF77 traverses from just beyond the orbit of Uranus out past the orbit of Neptune. For information on how to interpret 2001-KF77, note reference to Philip Sedgwick below.
