Most everyone is familiar with the phrase: "Beware the Ides of March"; the warning reportedly uttered by a soothsayer to Julius Caesar about his impending assassination. The line was brought to the public eye in Shakespere's play about the famous Roman emperor which was undoubtedly borrowed from Plutarch's Life of Julius Caesar which recounted a warning given to Caesar that the Ides was a day that should be paid attention to.
The day, March 15th, was actually an ancient holiday in Rome known as dedicated to Mars. It was on that day in 44 B.C. that Caesar was assassinated by Cassius, Brutus and others. From that time forward, March 15th has been regarded in popular culture as a day to pay attention to signs and portents and a time when momentous change could occur.
It is historically ironic that Washington DC and the end of Caesar's reign of power happened on the same day. Washington's birthday is considered March 15 in 1791. There certainly has been many changes that have swept the world since the first of the year and March is no exception as astrologers keep track of the changes that have already begun since the Ides of March.
When Wash DC's birth chart is compared to its chart for March 15 of this year, there are several planet relationships which are important to keep in mind. Some of the most interesting synastry line ups occur in the 8th and 9th houses of both charts. The term synastry is used in astrology to describe the similarities and compatibility of both charts and usually indicates what types of things could occur when looking at the past and blending it with the future chart.
On March 15th of 2011 there are some interesting and very strong influences which may lead to a major change in the future. The 15th of March will be Washington DC birth day and the sun is in a very similar position as it was on that founding date. Its natal Mars will also be in a similar position as it was back then. Both the Sun and Mars were back then in conjunction and are again on that date. Mars will be conjunct Mars, Sun conjunct Sun and natal Sun and natal Mars along with transiting Mars and Sun conjunct both natal Mars and transit Mars.
All of this will be happening in the 8th House of transformation. This house also includes finances, passion and crises. This is a House of evolution and a very strong one at that. The coming events may be viewed as a coming storm or a beautiful day. Some may see it as a bit of both.
In astrology, a conjunction is the most powerful aspect. When any conjunction involves the Sun, it is amplified. The natal chart is said to be conjunct which has a big impact. Piscean aspects are stronger when it is both the natal and transit sign because both positive and negative faces show themselves. Both aspects compete with each other in that one is more extreme with escape tendencies and real world issues cannot be seen for what they really are.
When viewed from a world perspective, this is a battle with self vs self and can bring on a ship without a rudder. What people are currently thinking may not be reality and can have a huge affect on this country.
Could there be political scandals coming? While some back room secrets could be revealed, the new found hidden truths will not be appreciated by some.
The lack of direction coming may come from false paradigms blocking reality. A void of this nature may cause transformation of the type we cannot yet envision. The God of War, Mars will bring massive energy to the circumstances and intensify the chaos already brewing.
The God of War being conjunct with itself will increase the energy. Suffice it to say that the war drums on louder than ever. This type of energy was a driving force in the early days during the formation of our country. While Pisces can have a somewhat calming effect, it will not be enough to hide the energy of Mars.
The dance of Sun and Mars, in both natal and progressed charts, magnifies of the the positive and negative aspects of each other. This type of energy was present during the creation of the Dist of Columbia where both energies were at play and the congress had to compromise.
This situation has now become the fighting ground between the Sun and Mars and who will establish the direction of the future in the coming months ahead.
One more aspect deserves our attention under the 8th house. DC's progressed chart has Saturn conjunct natal Uranus. This is a signal that a major event may be at hand which can cause a change in direction. Because it is occurring in the house of transformation gives it even more impact. Remember to 'take heed of the Ides of March'. All of this energy will take us forward into something brand new. It is how we think, feel and act to these events of change that will be important in determining what lies ahead. We cannot put the blame on anyone else for what becomes of our own future.
As the Bard put it so eloquently:
'The fault, dear Brutus, lies not with our stars, but with our selves'.
