There were quite a few people in a thread who wanted me to do an astrology of the USA current events post – Here it is

Before I jump into my interpretations I am going to first explain the nature of the pictures and cheat sheets i’m posting. Honestly, there’s 0 way to explain astrology in simple terms without leaving stuff out. I want to be as thorough as possible but for beginners it’s going to be hard to follow along without a visual guide.

Picture 1: The US’s chart I will be going off of today. The date is July 3rd 2025. The planet symbols in blue in the inner part of the wheel represent the positions of the planets when the US was founded in on July 4th 1776. The orange planet symbols on the outer part of the wheel are the positions of the planets on July 3rd 2025. The highlighted symbols are as follows (but these symbols are also in the guides i’m attaching).

-Orange: The Moon.
-Green: Saturn.
-Light blue: Uranus.
-Darker red: Mars.
-Pink: Venus.
-Teal/ blue-ish: Jupiter.

I didn’t highlight every single planet bc there aren’t enough colors, those are just the very important ones for that day IMO.

Pictures 2-5: Visuals for what the symbols represent, both for planets and for the zodiac symbols. It also includes what each planet and sign means. Picture 4 is very important because it shows you planetary ruler ships and dignities.

Picture 6: Describing the different aspects. Aspects are the blue and red lines going across the charts. Quick lesson: short red line= square. long red line cutting a chart in half= opposition. long blue line= trine. short blue line= sextile. Conjunctions are when the planets are right next to each other. Squares / oppositions are tense aspects. Trines/ textiles are harmonious.

Last but not least, a house represents an area of life that is affected. You’ll notice the chart is split into 12 even sections with corresponding numbers, those are the houses. Here is a link to what the houses represent in mundane astrology. Mundane astrology is the study of current events or events of the collective , which is a bit different than individual astrology, so the houses have a bit of a different meaning. https://www.melpriestley.ca/the-meaning-of-the-houses-in-mundane-astrology/

All in all: a planet describes what is happening, the sign describes how it is happening, and the house represents what area of life it’s happening in.

Some things that aren’t noted in the visuals that are important to the post: The Moon= the “people”. Saturn = the government / democracy / the military, anything structural in nature. Uranus= shocking and unexpected events, revolution. Mars= War, chaos, volatility, violence, military action. Venus= peace / diplomacy. Aquarius= revolution (ruled by Uranus), the collective, humanitarianism, hope, change. 8th house= foreign enemies, national security vulnerabilities, attacks, death.

Okay. Now to dive in.

First things first. We have some crazy outer planet action happening for the first time in recorded history. In all of the US’s recorded history, the US has only been at war during 1 of 3 things: Neptune in Aries (Civil War), Pluto in Aquarius (American Revolution), and Uranus in Gemini (Both Civil and American revolution , plus WWII most recently). 2025 is the first time , ever, that all 3 of those things are happening at the same time. Pluto moved into Aquarius in 2024, Neptune into Aries in March 2025, and Uranus will be in Gemini as of July 7th. Uranus has been at 29 degrees Taurus for a while.

So that alone speaks volumes. Now to look at July 3rd specifically. We have:.

-Venus and Uranus conjunct at the anaretic (most intense and karmic) 29th degree of Taurus in the 6th house. The 6th house specifically has to do with military and civil service. Venus (diplomacy) + Uranus (unexpected and shocking events) conjunct (combining their energy) is squaring (tension) the US’s Moon (the people) in Aquarius (the collective, the need for revolution) in the 3rd house (communication). Anytime Uranus has squared the US Moon, or even touched it (opposition, conjunction, etc) there has been a significant event. Uranus – Moon opposition was 9/11. Uranus – Moon square number 1 (before retrograde) was Trump assassination attempt. Uranus – Moon square number 2 was the assassinations last week in MN. Uranus – Moon contact also happened during Pearl Harbor but I can’t remember exactly what it was. Uranus has been squaring US moon for a while because it’s a slow moving planet, but it’s at its most powerful at 29 degrees and 0 degrees.

-The US is having its Jupiter Return (jupiter makes a full cycle every 12-13 yrs), and Jupiter is also the US’s chart ruler. Jupiter amplifies everything it touches and is exalted (performs best) in Cancer, and as I mentioned , the 8th house has to do with national security vulnerability. The US is also having its solar return (birthday lol) and is at the center of attention.

-Transitting Moon (the people) is in Libra , which is known as the “justice” sign. Libra is also ruled by Venus, so that Venus + Uranus conjunction is activating the Moon’s transit in the 11th house (group gatherings , hope). The Moon rules Cancer which is the 8th house , where the exalted Jupiter return and solar return are happening. Right there, there is an insanely activated relationship between the military / civil service , national security vulnerabilities, and the people gathering in large groups, with a revolutionary undertone thanks to Uranus and Aquarius being activated as well.

-Now here’s the kinda scary stuff. We have Mars square Uranus in addition to Uranus square Moon. Mars rules Aries , the god of War, and Scorpio , the “death” sign. Scorpio rules the 12th house of hidden enemies. In Aries, we have Saturn (restrictions / military / people in uniform) in its detriment, squaring expansive Jupiter return. So Saturn is in its detriment trying to restrict and get shit under control while Jupiter is trying to expand — this is a battle aspect. Mars rules over everything violence and war and explosion related. So Mars is activating the war sign, with the war sign containing a military planet struggling to function in a battle with an expansive planet that is functioning at full capacity in a national security weak spot house. BTW, the 5th house is everything entertaining, so this could reflect all this craziness happening while we are also supposed to be celebrating the holiday. Mars is also activating the hidden enemies house. 12th house also has to do with jails and hospitals or institution, or deporting holding centers perhaps….— it’s anything tucked away and hidden from society. So that Mars is squaring Uranus in the 7th house of open enemies – both foreign and domestic. That’s why Uranus in Gemini is always associated with war time for the US, including war with itself. Mars square Uranus is honestly a disaster of some sorts waiting to happen. Transitting Mars was squaring transitting Uranus (this means it wasn’t happening just in the US’s chart, it was happening everywhere) on June 14th-17th. That was the democrats assassinations, no kings protests, LA protests, and there were several incidents of either vehicular violence or shootings at some of those protests. Mars square Uranus is a mess, and this time it’s happening for the US specifically. Mars in the 10th is also indicative of something happening that gains a lot of attention or becomes part of a legacy. Mars is also in Virgo, and Mercury rules Virgo. Mercury is the planet of communication and negotiation, and Mercury it’s in the 9th house which has to do with foreign leaders, foreign nations, the law, and religion. And where is the ruler of the 9th house? The 8th house. Having its solar return (The sun rules the 9th).

Okay, I know that was a lot. All I did was illustrate the energies that are emerging and the relationships between them. We have: the military fighting a battle having to do with national security vulnerabilities while our government and national guard is trying to maintain order domestically as they face large group gatherings of citizens itching for justice and revolution. We have hidden and open enemies coming together as part of this battle. We are communicating with foreign leaders and our legal system is busy. All of this could very well lead to some type of unexpected, shocking, and possibly violent event on US soil. What that will be? I don’t know. Iran retaliation on US military bases? A protest gone wrong? A terrorist attack on US soil via someone already here? Any prediction could be made more concrete as the events unfold over the next few weeks and as we have more context as to the current state of things.

Okay- I think that’s all I can type at the moment. I feel like o hardly scratched the surface but I think I got my point across.

If you don’t like astrology, keep your rude comments to yourself and keep scrolling. Lots of people in the “We bombed Iran.” thread said they wanted something like this, and I thought a change from the US / Israeli / Russian propaganda on this sub would be a relief.
