Aries Ingress 2025 for the UK.

At last a chart with a little cheer! But, note the word “little.”

This year we have Gemini rising with Jupiter on the Ascendant. Looking at the Aries Ingresses going back to 2013, the last time we had Gemini rising was in 2021 at the time of the “Pandemic” when we were still experiencing government controls over lives.  So where is the good news? In 2021 the Sun was lighting up the 11^th house of good fortune as it is now, the difference arose due to the placement of the other planets. We were still experiencing the Mutation of Jupiter and Saturn in Aquarius, where Saturn had dominion one way or another over the other 6 planets. This year there is more give and take with “authority” being shared amongst 4 planets.

Unlike many previous years, this year the Sun is accompanied by the 2 inferiors who are both on their way to making a new phase. The last time Venus and Mercury were in Aries at the Ingress was in 2017 and 2018, but neither were both retrograding at the same time.

Before going into the potential events that may occur during this quarter, it may be worthwhile re-visiting the houses in Mundane Astrology.

The 1^st house relates to the common people and general state of affairs of the County. The

2^nd to the assets of the people. The 3^rd house is associated with all forms of transport and communication; today this includes railways, post office and the media. The 4th is associated with the weather, the land, food production, public buildings and the opposition to the government. The 5^th relates to sport, entertainment and matters related to children, including the birth rate.

The 6^th house is associated with the Unions, Armed Forces, government employees, public health and what we term the blue-collar workers. The 7th relates to foreign affairs, trade, our relationship with other countries or powers, and disputes. The 8^th is associated with the death rate, the assets of overseas partners and what is known as the Privy Council (a body of mainly Politicians who advise the Monarch). The 9^th house relates to our laws, lawmakers, religious matters, science and overseas trade.

The 10^th can indicate the reigning monarch, the ruling government, and those with authority over the people. The 11^th house indicates Parliament, legislation passed; House of Commons and the assets of those indicated by the 10^th. The final house the 12^th, relates to institutions, this includes hospitals, prisons, as well as large institutions or big business. It also can indicate crime rates, spies and secret enemies of the people.

Life is a perpetual cycle and everything grows and dies as a result of earlier actions. If we look back to 2017 when both Venus and Mercury accompanied the Sun at the Aries ingress, we may have an idea as to what may occur over this quarter with particular regard to Venus. Venus has a regular cycle when she returns roughly to the same degree and position every 8 years.

In 2017 Teresa May, the then Prime Minister formally triggered Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, setting in motion Brexit. (8 years later we have Starmer looking to negate that order and have the UK reconnected with the EU). Theresa May announced a snap election that culminated in a Hung Parliament on the 8^th June. In France on the 7^th May 2017, Macron defeated Marine Le Pen in the Presidential Elections, but now is under pressure with a failing Government.

In 2018, the big event of the Spring was the marriage of Prince Harry to Meghan Markle. In early June, the Government approved a plan for a controversial 3^rd runway at Heathrow. This proposal is once again back in the news.

Let us return to the Ingress chart for 2025.

As noted above, Gemini rises, its ruler Mercury is located in the 11^th house of good fortune, along with Venus and the Sun. Mercury is hidden under the rays of the Sun and is retrograde. This can show things being reviewed or rescinded. He is moving into a mutually applying trine with the Moon. Mercury is peregrine, that is to say he has no authority to help manage the affairs of the people. They are hopeful, but there is no support for their wishes. Mercury also rules the 4^th sign relating to the land, our “buried treasure. There are threats of removing 20% of our land that is currently used to grow food, to build solar “farms”. This would in effect render the land barren.

Along with the planet ruling the Ascendant, the Moon also indicates the common people. She is in the 7^th sign of Sagittarius, below the horizon and waning in light. She too is classed as peregrine, but Lilly (17^th century Master Astrologer) says when the Moon is in the sign of the benefics she can act.

As noted above, her next aspect is to Mercury. Not only does Mercury represent the people, he also rules the 4^th sign relating to the land, opposition to the government and food production. The Moon rules the 2^nd house of assets of the people and being placed in the 7^th sign, indicates the peoples assets are under the control of foreign partners, in a weakened state as both Mercury and the Moon are in hot, dry signs which are not conducive to growth.  After making a good aspect to Mercury, the Moon then moves to oppose Jupiter, her dispositor.

Jupiter is in exile and withdrawing from the Rising degree. As noted, he has authority over the 7^th as well as over the 10^th sign. However, he is in the same hemisphere as the Sun and is a participating ruler of the Air Triplicity. He endeavours to help the people, but something seems to not quite gel.

This may indicate the authoritarianism and broken promises we are increasingly seeing from the current Government with Saturn and his lead boots predominating Jupiter from Pisces. Jupiter is trying to reach Saturn but they will not meet up until both have changed signs in early June. This indicates more strife and struggles for the coming quarter between the people and the Government.

After the Moon has opposed Jupiter, her next aspect is to square Saturn. Again an indicator of strife between the people, our “partners” and the Government.

Obviously the position of Mars is always important as he is the “overlord” of Aries. Mars is in the sign relating to the assets of the people. Mars is known for his cutting action. This can be good as when a surgeon cuts out a diseased growth in the body, but it can also indicate bloodshed for the sake of winning an argument. There may be yet more “attacks” on the homes and assets of the people. The reason I say “homes” is Cancer is generally taken to symbolise the home. The Crab carries its home on its back.

In this chart Mars rules the 11^th and the 6^th and can see both of his houses to manage them. The 6^th relates to the health of the people, the unions and government servants. When Mars is in Cancer, this is the sign of his Fall, his only dignity is through being the nocturnal triplicity ruler of the Water signs. Having this minor dignity may prevent the worst of his excesses but not prevent them totally. It could indicate more of our money being spent on foreign aid and government services, but not helping the people directly. We may even see some of our health services being further cut in order to make up for a perceived deficit elsewhere.

Finally I come to Venus. She is in exile, hot, combust and retrograde, but will soon make a new phase after she passes through the fire of the Sun. In this chart she rules the 12^th and 5^th places so matters related to these areas of life will be revealed through the House of Commons. It has now been acknowledged the birth rate of the British people has now dropped below a perceived sustainable level and more are aware of the child grooming scandal that encompasses many of our big cities, particularly in the North of England. Our children are under “fire” yet nothing is being done to rescue them.

However, this coming quarter we have some planetary changes that could see a shift in the Government, where some figures may be replaced, or come under fire.

On the 29^th March there is an Eclipse at 9⁰ Aries. This degree squares the 1066 and 1801 Sun in those charts. It also squares the degree of the Ascendant when our late Queen died and Charles became King. In that same chart, this eclipse falls in close conjunction with the Jupiter and opposes Mercury.  This would suggest issues around the Royal family during this quarter, may be revealed around late April, mid May. We may also find events from a couple of weeks previously (14^th March) could be brought into the public domain relating to our Government. Could it be someone will have their power extinguished? Perhaps wishful thinking, but keep an eye on events around that time coming back into the news from the Ingress through to mid-May.

At this time (mid-May), we also have Mercury, Venus, Mars and Saturn in water signs. We may face an unusual wet, or humid Spring.

In April both Mercury and Venus station direct in Pisces just as Jupiter reaches the Aries Ingress Ascendant degree. What does this portend? I don’t know, but mid April may act as a trigger date for changes within Government. At this time, Mars moves to trine Saturn, giving a bit of a boost to matters involved with our overlords and the assets of the people. It may even herald a change in Government as the action of Mars is to cut. Mars moves into Leo on the 18^th April, just after Mercury moves into Aries. Suddenly life starts heating up!

On the 30^th April, Venus comes back into Aries and Mars trines the degree of Venus in the Ingress chart. Could May Day see some uprisings by the people against the Government and its assault on the land and our farmers in pursuance of the “Green deal”?

On the 25^th May, Saturn moves into Aries.  Saturn last returned to 0⁰ Aries in November 1996 where he remained at this degree through December ‘96. At that time, Labour saw a huge surge in the Opinion Polls, rather as we see Reform surging ahead today.

The New Moon on the 27th May at 6⁰ Gemini opposes the Moon in the 7^th sign of the Aries Ingress chart and Saturn is already moving through 0⁰ Aries. If we go back to April 1996, the Conservatives were in power and their ratings had dropped to 26%.  At the following Council Elections, they lost 429 seats and the control of eighteen Councils. This will not happen this year despite polls showing Reform racing ahead, as Labour have cancelled Local Elections without consulting the Public!

Finally we come to 9^th June when Jupiter moves into Cancer, the sign of his exaltation. In the Aries Ingress chart, Cancer relates to the assets or finances of the people. Jupiter is noted for his principle of good fortune and expansion (this is a modern concept) so can we see the peoples assets improving? Will there be cause for optimism?

When I consider the ingress chart for Jupiter into Cancer, I notice it has a similar pattern to the Aries Ingress.

If you look at the Aries Ingress chart, 4 of the 7 planets were bracketed by the 2 malefics with the Moon outside of the pack. In this chart, we have the same scenario; the Moon stands apart again in the sign of Sagittarius. I think this chart is often referred to as a bucket chart with the Moon acting as a Handle.

It looks as though the assets of the people will be in the headlines early June. This may be as a result of stock markets tanking or, a world leader undergoing removal, leading to uncertainty in the global markets.

Yet again, Interesting times!

May the Spring be fruitful for all.
