 The beginning of the astrological year is when the Sun enters the zodiac sign of Aries.  The entrance of the Sun into one of the four cardinal signs - Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn - are the most important solar ingress charts of the year as they form the background for which various other astrological events of the season take place.

After a long, hard winter we look forward to spring.  In anticipation, we move our clocks forward forcing additional hours of daylight into the hours we are awake.

But who are we really kidding?!? Changing the clock doesn't make the day longer - it's the tilt of the earth and the movement of the Sun that brings forth longer daylight hours.

And it's the planetary lineup that paints the color of Spring.

The astrological energy in 2014 is powered by the Pluto - Uranus square. This spring it is exaggerated as Jupiter, the planet of expansion, sits on the Ascendant of the Washington D.C. Chart and opposes Pluto while squaring Uranus.

The nature of these planets and their signs are pitted against each other to force an outcome. The aspect is not just affecting the US, the influence is worldwide. It is quite understandable then, that the world has been embroiled in political and economic crises. (Draw a chart for your location to see what houses of the horoscope these planets reside in.)

The tension of Pluto - Uranus intensifies in April.  Dates listed below are when the tension is great. And, as Mars Retrograde aspects Jupiter, Pluto and Uranus the tension will be even greater.  On the 20th of April, the Moon will conjunct Pluto, activating a developing Grand Square with Mars, Jupiter, Pluto, and Uranus - exact on the 22nd of April.

With that in mind, let us look at the chart as the framework in which the transiting planetary aspects of the season act.

The 2014 Aries ingress for Washington D.C chart above has the Sun placed in the tenth house in Aries; very dynamic energy adds stress to this chart. The Moon is in Scorpio and is the ruler of the Cancer rising chart. It quickly moves toward a conjunction with Saturn in the fifth house.  Jupiter is on the Ascendant in a T-square with Pluto on the cusp of the seventh house and Uranus in the tenth house.

The Equinox Sun in the tenth house normally is favorable. However, Uranus resides in the tenth causing problems for matters of this house.

The Sun is exalted in Aries. In the tenth house it represents the "Boss" - the Leader, or the Man in Charge for the location of the chart - in this case, the President of the US. Without any hard aspects, this position should strengthen his prestige with added good will toward his government. However, Mars, the ruler of the Aries Sun, is in Libra - retrograde - a very unfortunate position for the Warrior Planet.  Diplomacy is the best effort Mars can muster in this position; however, diplomacy is frustrated - and frustrating the President!  (read the rest of the article)
