So we get a taste of possibly the higher-leveraged success that is potential with Jupiter in Scorpio, but it doesn’t really kick in until much later this year. Jupiter in Libra is more of a relational and refining type of energy, hopefully bringing elements into balance before they undergo the Scorpionic stresses and intensity.
I say an angry eclipse because the Sun is debilitated in Aquarius and then it receives a Vedic fourth-house aspect from Mars in Scorpio. An afflicted Sun as such can give rise to an underlying sense of powerlessness, which can trigger a sort of over-compensating forcefulness or aggression, which the aspect from Mars could aggravate.
This new year starts out with sort of a bang. In the first seven days there is a supermoon (big full moon in the sky), Uranus turns stationary direct, the Earth is at perihelion (closest to the Sun), Mars semisquares Saturn, and Mars conjuncts Jupiter in sextile to Pluto.
The astrology of relationship dysfunction and social downfall. In recent sexual assault allegations, powerful figures have suffered career setbacks.
