The #astrology of Nikki #Haley
Lynn Hayes
#Saturn rules the #Capricorn Sun, and is trine the Sun; an astrological “double whammy” that shows just how hard a worker she is. Saturn teaches the mastery of the material world, and here we have a chart that is driven towards that mastery. There is insecurity here as well, with Saturn retrograde at the 29th degree. Success is not guaranteed, and people with Saturn retrograde tend to be particularly hard on themselves if they are not producing something worthwhile. And her Mercury is also in Capricorn, the sign of someone who is a practical thinker and she started doing the bookkeeping for her mother’s business when she was 13.
...
Her Mars is in Aries so she already has that “badass” (her word) quality, and says she doesn’t wear heels for fashion but to “kick with a smile.”
...
Her Mars is opposed by Uranus, planet of rebellion, suggesting that she resists being controlled by others and will always seek her own way. Mercury forms a square aspect to both Mars and Uranus revealing a combative communication style (Mercury square Mars) and a tendency to think for herself (Mercury square Uranus).
...
The relationship between Ms. Haley’s chart and the Sibly chart of the U.S. is striking, with her Pluto sitting right on the Midheaven of the U.S. chart and her Capricorn Sun conjunct the U.S. Pluto. This Plutonic connection is incredibly potent and suggests that if she does reach the Presidency that her reign would lead to significant reorganization and change. Her South Node of the past conjoins the U.S. North Node of the future, often considered a karmic link with the suggestion that she, as the South Node link, could favorably impact the future (North Node) of the U.S."...

NEW MOON IN CAPRICORN | JANUARY 11TH, 2024 - IMBALANCES PUSH US TO CHOOSE, A NEW STORY BEGINS TO TAKE SHAPE, SET YOUR GOALS, MAKE YOUR PLANS FOR SOMETHING NEW BUT NOT TOTALLY NEW, STARTING FROM WHERE WE ARE NOW AS 'TIME RUNS OUT' GETS STIRRED UP ... AGAIN

..."This is our first #NewMoon in #Capricorn with #Saturn in $Pisces since 1996. This is our last New Moon in Capricorn with #Pluto in Capricorn in our lifetime. Saturn and Pisces are not naturally compatible. Saturn is all about structure and limits and discipline and achievement and remember Saturn has been in the sign of his ancient rulership (Aquarius) and the sign of his rulership (Capricorn) for several years before this. We had gotten accustomed to being STRONG and to HAVING to be strong. Saturn in Pisces answering to #Neptune is not so strong and the good news for us is we don't have to be either! As Saturn in Pisces dissolves limits and rules and structures we have grown used to - this may not be comfortable. Time melts. Reality is an illusion. Reality is malleable. We might be less ambitious. Maybe with Saturn in Pisces we are building things that are not quite so 'real', not quite so lasting, but also maybe not quite so rigid.
2024 will be a year when we start the process of stopping trying to apply old solutions to problems that can't be solved through our ENGAGEMENT with the struggle. Cappy New Moons are not about fast action (although the trine to Uranus will create a smooth portal for fast change if its needed) so much as it is about allowing ourselves to PATIENTLY grow into a new situation. With Pluto changing signs on the 20th, we all need to be prepared for things to move more quickly and in a new direction.
...
Saturn, the ruler of this lunation, is well-aspected through sextiles with Mars and Jupiter. Although his placement in Pisces and Mercury's square to Neptune in Pisces plus Pluto at the very end of Cappy AGAIN will likely speak of some Capricorn exhaustion here. That's OK. Being tired of the same old thing makes that trine with Uranus - the something new - even more appealing!
Venus and Jupiter are in mutual reception. The benefics having access to their home signs through each other is a good sign at this New Moon. "...

The power of this Talisman is the combination of metals. Every metal is connected and strengthen different qualities in the person, in accordance with its principle. The Chaldean order ties together, those qualities in a way that puts each quality in its right place in relation to the others, that way its power will express itself in its maximum and still maintain equilibrium with all the rest. This tying up and hierarchy creates an order that resonates with the order of those qualities and their manifestation in reality.

This #photo of #Saturn was taken by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope on October 22, 2023, when the ringed planet was approximately 850 million miles from Earth. Hubble’s ultra-sharp vision reveals a phenomenon called ring spokes.
Saturn’s spokes are transient features that rotate along with the rings. Their ghostly appearance only persists for two or three rotations around Saturn. During active periods, freshly-formed spokes continuously add to the pattern.
Levitated Dust Takes a Carousel Ride Around the Giant Ringworld
Though Saturn's unusual-looking "cup handle" features were first noted by Galileo in 1610, it would be another 45 years before they were described by Christiaan Huygens as a disk surrounding Saturn. Subsequently, ground-based telescopes could only distinguish four unique concentric rings, labeled A, B, C, and D. Not until the 1980s did NASA's two Voyager probes fly by Saturn to photograph thousands of concentric ringlets. An even bigger surprise to Voyager scientists were dark, radial spoke-like patterns in the ring plane that came and went as they revolved around Saturn.
Over the past three decades, the Hubble Space Telescope has picked up where the Voyagers have left off. Hubble's ultra-sharp vision is the next best thing to being there. Hubble follows the ring spoke "merry-go-round" every year. It's believed the dark spokes are dust particles electrostatically levitated above the ring plane. They seem to change in abundance with Saturn's seven-year-long seasons. And, this may be linked to changes in Saturn's magnetic field, as it is battered by the solar wind.
This is an annotated version of the image above.
Hubble Space Telescope Watches 'Spoke Season' on Saturn
This photo of Saturn was taken by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope on October 22, 2023, when the ringed planet was approximately 850 million miles from Earth. Hubble's ultra-sharp vision reveals a phenomenon called ring spokes.
Saturn's spokes are transient features that rotate along with the rings. Their ghostly appearance only persists for two or three rotations around Saturn. During active periods, freshly-formed spokes continuously add to the pattern.
In 1981, NASA's Voyager 2 first photographed the ring spokes. NASA's Cassini orbiter also saw the spokes during its 13-year-long mission that ended in 2017.
Hubble continues observing Saturn annually as the spokes come and go. This cycle has been captured by Hubble's Outer Planets Atmospheres Legacy (OPAL) program that began nearly a decade ago to annually monitor weather changes on all four gas-giant outer planets.
Hubble's crisp images show that the frequency of spoke apparitions is seasonally driven, first appearing in OPAL data in 2021 but only on the morning (left) side of the rings. Long-term monitoring show that both the number and contrast of the spokes vary with Saturn's seasons. Saturn is tilted on its axis like Earth and has seasons lasting approximately seven years.
"We are heading towards Saturn equinox, when we'd expect maximum spoke activity, with higher frequency and darker spokes appearing over the next few years," said the OPAL program lead scientist, Amy Simon of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.
This year, these ephemeral structures appear on both sides of the planet simultaneously as they spin around the giant world. Although they look small compared with Saturn, their length and width can stretch longer than Earth's diameter!
The Longest Night: The #Astrology Of #Winter #Solstice
StarLys
..."Since Samhain, we have been seeking out the seeds of the next cycle in the fertile dark. The spark of energy as the sun is reborn at the Solstice is the beginning of the return of outwardly focused activity. As the days begin to lengthen, we take our first tangible steps in manifesting our new vision.
#Saturn is the ruler of #Capricorn so carries special power at this time of year. We know him as Old Father Time, bringer of limits and structures. The goddesses of winter also carry this sometimes stark energy. The Crone goddesses remind us of the wisdom and power of maturity. For me, Saturn is the Old Bone Mother, who strips us back to bare bones. Capricorn energy forces us to examine our inner and outer structures. If they are not strong enough, or if they have become calcified, we tear them down, and break them apart. And so we learn our lesson, and so we build new and more flexible structures.
...
Capricorn energy builds slowly – taking our time is a powerful magic in itself. Pay attention to the bare bones of nature, noticing the shapes of the trees and the landscape. Seek out signs of the dying year in the seed heads and bare branches. Seek out also signs of the new cycle in the leaf buds on the trees. Allow yourself to sink deeply into the energies and sensations of your own body as well as the rest of nature.",,,

Cat Ivins
..."It is a good idea to check in with other people. See if they need anything we have to give. People are needing more than presents wrapped in big red bows this year.
In #Capricorn, the #Sun gets serious. We are heading into the serious time of year - the time our ancestors could starve if they hadn't stocked up properly or catch a cold that would turn into pneumonia. They would celebrate the #Winter #Solstice and go into hibernation for a few weeks (exhausted from the harvest, escaping the cold and, intuitively, the germs and bacteria, too, I'm sure), venturing back out sometime mid-Aquarius season for some social interaction and hoping to trade whatever they still had plenty of to restock whatever had grown scarce.
This is true for us today, too. Without structure, responsibility and discipline - mandated by Capricorn's ruling planet #Saturn - we'll be in trouble when the cold settles in and the stuff we need to survive is covered with two feet of snow and ice.
So Capricorn is a serious sign because it rules very serious things. Capricorn rules our collective 10th house of career, reputation, ambition, hard work, the pinnacle, fathers, patriarchal story-lines, safety, security, tradition, history, structure.
A chart drawn for the Cappy Ingress (like we do the New Moon and Full Moon charts for the lunar cycles) - Sun into Capricorn - Cappy being a cardinal sign that launches a new season, can tell us quite a bit about what to expect in the weeks ahead.
So, we've got this solar energy of sobriety and responsibility, and what else do we see? The time is 10:27PM EST. The Moon is in Taurus, the sign of her exaltation.
Venus moves into an opposition with Uranus retrograde. Even though this isn't totally unexpected with Uranus retrograde, this can provide a JOLT. Our Scorpio house, or a Scorpio issue - debt, taxes, intimacy, loans, intimacy, reproduction, secrets - can experience a FAST CHANGE. Financial and romantic shocks are possible. And remember, with this happening on the Capricorn Ingress, the energy of FAST CHANGE is pulled into the season ahead. Breakthroughs, breakdowns, breaks for freedom.
Mercury repeats his/her opportunistic sextile with Saturn. Plans, conversations, information are OPPORTUNISTIC. Stabilizing. Mature. This might connect to an idea or conversation or news from around December 2nd. Watch your language. Mean what you say. This is a confident aspect where we better know what we are talking about. Verbal and written commitments are sticky - although subject to changes because, again, Mercury is retrograde. Saturn is awash in Pisces this year and next year, so any chance for him to get back to himself in stable Capricorn is useful. Talk and think about your goals. Make plans.
Mars inconjuncts Uranus - this is Sag/Taurus. Big moves vs security and stability. The greener grasses over there being incompatible to what we want to hold onto over here. There isn't a winner here. The way through would be the Mercury/Saturn we just talked about.
This is alot to be happening at this solstice moment. Our ancestors celebrated the solstice for hundreds/thousands of years and this energy is in us even when we are not conscious of it. "...
#Anuradha #Nakshatra
#Characteristics male
The male born in the Anuradha Nakshatra dons attractive looks that, however, may not be liked by everyone. Their bright eyes are special luring characteristics of these natives. Nature wise, the native is confident and a hard worker. He has a special skill of handling difficult situations with ease and in a systematic way. Yet, his mind is always wandering in the fear of what would happen to him in the future. The double thoughts could not only stress him out but also debar him from enjoying his life to the fullest or even forging relationships with the opposite gender. These people could be a bit miser too, but the quality turns out to be a blessing for them.
Profession male

You have a character that wants to lead, and thus leading from the top would not only be easy but also very satisfactory for you. There are also chances that you might start earning at a young age of 18-20 years. This will considerably enhance your experience, which will help you in setting up your own venture in the later years. The professional prospect till the age of 48 is very good for you. Thereafter, bad health might take your interest off from business, but its profitability won't decline.
Compatibility male
The male born in the Anuradha Nakshatra will be close to both his mother and father. He will derive monetary benefits from his father, who will help him in business too. However, if doing business together, there are chances of friction between the duo.

The match may not look compatible at first, but as you stay together, both of you will learn each other's ways and thus will be able to live a happy life together.
Health male
The male born in the Anuradha Nakshatra has the blessing of good health. However, minor health woes such as dental problems, cough and cold, and constipation may be by your side at regular intervals.
Characteristics female
The female born in the Anuradha Nakshatra looks innocent from the outside but has a cryptic personality that is witnessed by a limited few. This personality of hers is about her sexual nature, which she is shy to talk about but not to one who matches her vibe, aka, she finds compatible. The female born in Anuradha Nakshatra has a heart of gold and is very helpful towards others. She likes to live a simple life and is less influenced by what other women are doing. However, you not being 'womanly' is something that can concern your mother a lot. The female has a good friend circle, and she naturally shines well in the social and political fields. You will likely meet your special one after crossing the age of 23.
Profession female
The female born in the Anuradha Nakshatra has a good career if she indulges in fine arts. It is good that you work hard on your education, but an academic degree won't come to your use as you will likely choose or be interested in a completely different profession. Many professional exponents of the dance art form are known to be born in this Nakshatra and you can too follow the lead.
Compatibility female
The female born in the Anuradha Nakshatra is born with the tag of being an idol mother, who empowers her children to achieve glory. She herself is ambitious and always willing to achieve more and making the best of her time. Hence, the work-life compatibility between her and her husband is amazing. Also, she cares for her mother and is more attached to her father. Her devotion to her in-laws makes her even more desirable.
Health female
The female born in the Anuradha Nakshatra may have to deal with menstrual issues. Chances of irregular periods are also prevalent for these natives. Besides, after crossing the age of 26, problems of headache and nasal catarrh may also keep you awake at night. Countering these will need you to adopt an active lifestyle.

An illustration shows the rings from the surface of the ice-rock centaur #Chiron.
A #bizarre #object that sometimes gets as close to the #Sun as #Saturn, and other times retreats as far out as #Uranus, has been discovered to have a transforming disk of dust around it that changes shape and can even mimic rings.
#Minor #planet 2060 Chiron is what's known as a #Centaur, which are captured cometary objects that travel around the sun on looping orbits between #Jupiter and #Neptune. Chiron is just 218 kilometers (135 miles) across and occasionally has outbursts like a comet. To date, however, no spacecraft has ever visited a Centaur.
In 2011, Chiron passed in front of a faint #star from our point of view here on #Earth. Such events are referred to as "stellar occultations," and based on how an object such as Chiron blocks a star's light, the occulting object's shape and size can be determined through deduction. During the 2011 occultation, it was noticed that the star's light dimmed slightly — twice before Chiron itself occulted the star, and two further times after Chiron had moved past the star. This observation was interpreted as Chiron having a double-ring system of dust.
Then, Chiron occulted another star on Nov. 28, 2018, in an event taken advantage of by Amanda Sickafoose, who is a senior scientist at the Planetary Science Institute in Tucson, Arizona. Because Chiron's shadow cast by the star is so small, it crossed only a narrow region of the Earth, clipping southern Africa. Sickafoose therefore led a team who used the 1.9-meter (6.2 feet) telescope at the South African Astronomical Observatory in Sutherland, South Africa, to observe the occultation.
Their results, published exactly five years later, tell a slightly different story to 2011.
"We detected dips in the starlight as it was blocked by Chiron's nucleus as well as by material located between 300 to 400 kilometers on either side," Sickafoose said in a statement.
Specifically, as Chiron moved over the star, Sickafoose's team observed dips in starlight produced by dusty material at radii of 352, 344 and 316 kilometers (approximately 219, 214 and 196 miles) from the center of Chiron. In other words, that was between about 100 to 130 kilometers (60 to 80 miles) above the Centaur's surface. After Chiron had moved away from the star, the scientists then witnessed two further dips at 357 and 364 kilometers (221 and 226 miles) from Chiron's center.
If Chiron had only two stable rings, one would expect just two pairs of symmetrical dips in light on either side of Chiron. The anomalous third dip on one side of the Centaur is evidence that the situation is not so clear-cut. Furthermore, the dips caused by the mystery material seemingly occurred tens of kilometers away from the locations of the rings as measured in 2011 (although they do fall within the margin of error of the 2011 observations). The magnitude of the dips in starlight caused by the material, however, is also different.
"The locations and amounts of material that were detected around Chiron are different enough from previous observations to suggest that there is not a stable ring system but rather surrounding material that is currently evolving," said Sickafoose.
Another stellar occultation by Chiron on Dec. 15, 2022, was observed at the Kottamia Astronomical Observatory in Egypt by a team led by Jose Luis Ortiz of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía in Spain. They found the material around Chiron had changed again, detecting three symmetrical structures on either side of Chiron. Two of the features are narrow and one is broad, and that together they seem to form a wide disk 580 kilometers (360 miles) across.
The origin and composition of this material around Chiron remains unknown, although the likelihood is that it comes from Chiron itself, perhaps blasted into space by cometary outbursts such as those witnessed in the summer of 2021 when Chiron brightened by 0.6 magnitudes. For context, a magnitude 0 object is 100 times brighter than a magnitude 5 object in this brightness system. Another Centaur, the 250-kilometer (160 miles) wide 10199 Chariklo, was also previously shown to have rings during a stellar occultation in 2013, and confirmed during another stellar occultation witnessed by the James Webb Space Telescope on Oct. 18, 2022. The JWST even detected water-ice on Chariklo. However, the findings at Chiron call into question the nature of the structures around Chariklo, too.
Occultations of faint stars by Chiron happen fairly regularly, and future observations now have a challenge on their hands to explain what is happening around the distant, apparently morphing, Centaur.
