The focus of this New Moon is debt, taxes, entitlements and welfare as a stellium of planets falls into the 8th house, the Sun/Moon, Mercury and Venus, all in the sign Scorpio.

The lunation itself applies to and opposes retrograde Jupiter in Taurus in the 2nd house of the nation's wealth...this describes a time of financial waste and extravagance advanced by those with warped abilities.

The Part of Fortune falls exactly on the Ascendant:  a moral lesson is about to be taught from an episode of history...hard ordeals to go through...religious principles will not prevent being overcome and carried away by passion from time to time.

Mars in Leo in the 6th house square Mercury gives energy to encounters with police, who are forcing peaceful demonstrators out of public parks (Atlanta, GA).  Even State Senator Vincent Fort, who had come to the park to support the protestors, was arrested.  He noted that police presence was "overkill."  Perhaps when the police lose their jobs due to financial manipulation by the Syndicate and have no way to pay their mortgages and feed their children, they too will support the protestors.  That may happen sooner rather than later, as Mars in the 6th sector of police square Venus brings forth issues of unemployment.  Only when they can walk in another man's shoes will the police see a situation from their own perspective.

I heard an Angel singing

When the day was springing,

"Mercy, Pity, Peace

Is the world's release."

Thus he sung all day

Over the new mown hay,

Till the sun went down

And haycocks looked brown.

I heard a Devil curse

Over the heath & the furze,

"Mercy could be no more,

If there was nobody poor,

"And pity no more could be,

If all were as happy as we."

At his curse the sun went down,

And the heavens gave a frown.

Down pour'd the heavy rain

Over the new reap'd grain,

And Miseries' increase

Is Mercy, Pity, Peace.

William Blake
