At the Full Moon there was a perfectly shaped Grand cross in the Fixed signs.

The Moon in Leo was in conjunction with Praamzius, the trans-Neptunian named after the Lithuanian god of the sky, peace, and friendship. However, the world is currently far from peace, even though there is a lot of talk about peace negotiations to end the war in Ukraine, for example.

The Sun in Aquarius is in conjunction with asteroid Ceres. Ceres is the first known asteroid, discovered in 1801, and the largest member of the Main asteroid belt. Ceres is named for the Roman goddess of grain crops, and motherly relationships.

Unlike other asteroids in the Main belt, Ceres is round. It also has other unique features. Asteroids are generally rocky objects, like the inner planets. Ceres has reservoirs of water beneath its surface. In fact, it could be composed of as much as 25 percent water. There are ammonium deposits on the surface of Ceres. I recently saw a documentary, which claimed that Ceres may have formed in the outer region of the solar system, but what may have captured it to its current location is unclear. However, this possible scientific connection with the Kuiper belt object Pluto is intriguing. As we remember, the most famous myth about Ceres is the one where Pluto kidnapped her daughter to the Underworld.

Uranus, the ruler of Aquarius, is in Taurus and tightly squaring the Sun and the Moon. In Scorpio opposite Uranus is the minor planet Narcissus. Narcissus was discovered in 2000 and it is classified as a centaur or as an unusual minor planet. Narcissus is a Saturn-crossing centaur. It is about 11 km in diameter, thus larger than most asteroids. The orbital period is about 18 years. It was named from Greek mythology after the beautiful Narcissus, who fell in love with his own reflection in a pool, and he stared it until he died. The name is the origin of the term narcissism. Astrologically centaur Narcissus represents these same things.

The transiting Uranus is at Trump’s Midheaven and the transiting Narcissus at his 4th house cusp, the house of home. The transiting Moon-Praamzius conjunction is now conjunct Putin’s Pluto and Uranus conjunct his Praamzius. We can probably see reflections from the aforementioned planets in the news in the coming days. Uranus is usually a guarantee of surprises.
