Because the chart for the Equinox will affect us all for the next 90 days, I want to put the focus on potentially frictional or “cutting, grinding, and polishing” energies which are a huge feature of this Autumn.
This is one of the special evolutionary configurations I gave you in Autumn Equinox 2024 chart offered yesterday. You will recall we have Venus at 30 Libra, Pluto at 30 Capricorn, and Saturn at 15 Pisces, with Venus sesquisquares Saturn and square Pluto. While this does in fact create “hot spots” in late Cardinal degrees, early Fixed degrees, and mid-Mutable degrees where this is activated, of some extraordinary importance as “time triggers” are the points where a “Hammer of Thor” or a “Rhombus Diamond” are created.
Both of these have a “cutting, grinding, and polishing” effect, with the Hammer being more forceful and focused due to it being a Kite pattern rather than a rectangle like the “Rhombus Diamond.” To refresh your memory, a Hammer of Thor involves two planets in square with a third at the inverse midpoint, like all Kite patterns. A Hammer of Thor becomes a Rhombus Diamond when there’s a 4th planet opposed the nozzle planet of the Hammer.
A Rhombus Diamond involves 4 planets with two oppositions, two semisquares, and two sesquisquares. It works like a rectangle, but with a lot more frictional energy creating awareness which requires right inner and outer responses.
Venus is the inner planet triggering the configuration through its square to Pluto and sesquisquare to Saturn. The configuration is anchored by the long term Saturn semisquare Pluto which began in the Spring and will continue for months to come. You can find out more by going to that article. The combination of a square and sesquisquares sets up voids which will generate either a Hammer of Thor or a Rhombus Diamond, depending on the position of the applying planets.
As Venus at 30 Libra is square Pluto at 30 Capricorn, it sets up a Hammer of Thor at 13-17 Gemini as the nozzle for the focus of the dynamic energies. We also have Venus at 30 Libra sesquisquare Saturn at 15 Pisces, setting up voids which each create a “Hammer of Thor” at 13-17 Gemini with Venus as the nozzle, and at 28 Cancer through 2 Leo with Saturn as the nozzle.
Venus sesquisquares Saturn also sets up a Rhombus Diamond with voids at 13-17 Virgo and 28 Aries-2 Taurus. When either of these zones is occupied, it opens the other as a void. That means when the Moon transits these zones it creates an extremely dynamic effect.
So besides being active for the next 13 weeks, we see a Hammer of Thor is created between 1 am and 9 am PDT Monday, September 23, when the Moon squares Saturn and both are sesquisquare Venus which is the nozzle for the release of those energies. After that Venus moves past the sesquisquare to Saturn. Still, this heralds when Mercury squares Pluto and sesquisquares Saturn October 12-14 and when the Sun squares Pluto and sesquisquares Saturn October 20-24. When these sesquisquare Saturn, Rhombus voids are created two degrees to either side of 30 Cancer and 15 Virgo.
Also, as we have Sun square Mars partile between October 8 and October 20, exact on October 14 at 22 Libra to 22 Cancer, it creates a Hammer of Thor void between 5-9 Pisces. That also means when Mercury and the Sun at 29-30 Libra sesquisquare Saturn at 14 Pisces, it opens up Rhombus Diamond voids at the zones mentioned at the end of the previous paragraph.
The next major point where these factors converge is in late December, when Jupiter again squares Saturn from 13-16 Gemini to Pisces, with Jupiter also sesquisquare Pluto. Jupiter square Saturn opens up the Hammer of Thor void between 28 Libra and 2 Scorpio, and Jupiter sesquisquare Pluto opens up the Rhombus Diamond voids around 30 Cancer-2 Leo and 15-17 Sagittarius. We'll have hints of these configurations when the Mercury makes a T-square with Jupiter and Saturn on December 26-27, followed by the Moon December 28 with the Sag transits semisquare Pluto. Here the Sag square to Saturn makes double semisquares to Pluto, increasing the power of the early Leo void which Mars fills the first week of January, creating FOUR active points in a Great Octile!
Please refer to the various articles linked here to know more about these configurations. They are dynamic and require “right action” without annoyance or irritability. As Venus square Pluto shows a season of turning away from corrosive or toxic relationships, or letting go of things we no longer need, be alert to when it’s time to turn the page, leave the room, say goodbye, or refuse to listen to the undermining voices in your life.
A few things to think about as we enter a new season of 2024, preparing to embrace an entirely new world and life in the Spring of 2025 when we enter the Spring of the 21st Century!
