The Japan Astrology Chart to 2026

1. Dear Jessica,

   After the Vietnam war ended in 1975, US placed an economic embargo for Vietnam!!!!!
   Considering, a person…….. banned to get a job to earn a living !!!! And thus Vietnam was so poor …. it was the poorest country ranking 3rd from the bottom up… when I looked it up around 1975s. Huge number of Japanese people arrived to Vietnam to help building everything from bridges, airports, roads, electricity…….. And also Japanese people hired many Vietnamese people to work in Japan. The Vietnamese told me …. they earn around $2000-3000 US dollars/month in Japan in comparison to salary of $300 US dollars/Month if they work in Vietnam. The government of Japan hires more and more Vietnamese workers. I now live in California. I would like to learn a new language…. Which language do you think would be useful in the future …. Japanese, Korean, Spanish or French ?

   1. There is a special relationship between Japan and Vietnam, in astrology, as the rebirth of both countries is linked through the horoscopes. If you are in California you are an awfully long distance away, but your desire to learn a new language is spot-on. The world is moving slowly into Gemini weather with a huge boom in translation, the new ‘translated’ worldwide web and a completely different relationship between Japan and Vietnam, in 2024, 2025 when Jupiter (expansion) goes into Gemini (neighbours). Those neighbouring Asian nations will see a fantastic shift in 2024, 2025 and then a revolution from 2026 when Uranus (radical change) goes into Gemini as well. If I were you, I’d learn Japanese. The Japan chart has a big Gemini signature and she will be at the heart of the new travel.

2. That is so Interesting about Japan and the air conditioner/heating inventions. I teach ESL (just recently started) in Hawaii which was always so popular with Japanese tourists and the school administrator was saying they have still not gotten back to the pre-covid numbers due to a lack of Japanese tourists and students (as well as Chinese). I do hope they will work out something with Hawaii. I just bought a used electric car (got a great deal on it) and I absolutely love it!! Although there are a lot of electric vehicles here I do think much of the mainland USA is resistant and fearful of the transition as it seems it is difficult for some people (even people who know better) to wrap their brain around the idea of not having a gas operated vehicle and make so many excuses why it won’t work. Having a 10 Taurus moon, I have experienced similar oppositions and hope to come out better from this after all is said and done and hopefully Hawaii will change for the better, too as toursim is so important here. I will have to research which chart to use to take a look and try to understand. Thanks again for another great blog!

   1. Thank you. A used electric car is really the future, isn’t it? Even – a shared-use, secondhand electric car. With your Taurus Moon you have an eye for a bargain but also an investment opportunity. The car may (or may not be) the story, but when Jupiter goes to 10 Taurus and in a conjunction with your natal Moon in July 2023 you should be given a rare chance to make or save quite a lot of money. Hawaii is a good place to be, as you are so close to New Zealand. Once we are into The New Local, after 2026, you will find neighbouring places like Hawaii and New Zealand are a natural fit. One of the reasons for that is that a small territory is easier to control with micro-managed new travel and tourism. Another reason is that the new transport can only go so far. The zodiac sign Gemini has always ruled neighbours and short journeys, and the last time we saw Uranus in Gemini was the Second World War and post-war period, when of course American soldiers and Italian inventors both came up with the motorcycle, and the landrover also appeared. That is the same time-frame when Europe in particular was carved up very differently: East Germany and West Germany became instant neighbours. For whatever reason, something very similar is going to happen to Hawaii after 2026 with useful clues during the Jupiter in Gemini transit in 2024, 2025. The second half of the Twenties will be very different and gas/petrol is over from that point.

3. Dear Jessica, what a fascinating blog on a fascinating country. Thank you!! I have recently been reading books written by young, brilliant historians who have studied the history of South India from ancient, medieval and late medieval times. The trade between this region and the Far East, including Japan was important to the development of the cultures, food habits and religions of both regions. Do you see this karma continuing between both regions in the post-2026 world? Already, Australia, Japan, India and the US are part of the Quad group of nations. Would there be something like an Asian group of nations that trade between themselves in the post-globalization world – with even China participating?

   Thank you again for all your amazing work!

   1. Thank you. For the really massive trends in world history, we go back to combinations of slow-moving outer planets, and the lunar nodes, to see common themes. We can do this even with ancient written civilisations in India and Japan. 1762 to 1798 was the last really well-recorded fade-in of Pluto in Aquarius, fading out from Pluto in Capricorn. This covers the birth of that most Aquarian idea: The United States of America. A powerful new group of states, with different tribes within each state. Literally so, with Native Americans, but also numbering Freemasons and African slaves. The struggle for equal rights and equal territory among those tribes, is a hallmark of 1762 to 1798. The Declaration of Independence was really a declaration of independence from King George III and Great Britain. He and British colonialism (the slave trade, the convict transportation to Australia, the taking of First Nations’ land) represented Pluto in Capricorn and Pluto in Aquarius was the break from that. So we can’t really talk about the United States and Australia today, together with Japan and India, without remembering the last big cycle of 1762-1798. There was never any formal break with Britain in Australia, and nothing like the Americans liberating themselves from King George III in 1776 – but Australia’s many tribes from 1788 were trying, in their own way, to get away from Pluto in Capricorn and find their way into Pluto in Aquarius. What happens after 2023 seems likely to bring things full circle for the owners of the land in Australia and also the owners of the land in America; the traditional inhabitants. What they want, dictates what happens next, with Japan, India and even China. The Pluto in Aquarius rules are about diversity, community and equality and as the last historic power struggle in the 1700s was about tribes, that has to be reckoned with first.

4. Hi Jessica,
   What a wonderful article! Nobody including me doesn’t expect Japan will rebound to a level of 80’s when she was a top manufacturer making everything from Walkmans to TVs. Most consumer products are now produced cheaply by rivals like South Korea and China. Unlike America, Japan lacks of soft technology. But contrary to our understanding, and thanks to Covid and Russia, as you said, you predicted the comeback of Japan to world stage. I was surprised to know that Japan has Uranus in Gemini, as I do. Uranus return is coming too, to both of us. And there are Nodes and factors in Taurus and Scorpio. Although I’m just a naturalized Japanese, it seems that the fate of us are intertwined. I have witnessed the Saturn return twice in my life and I hope I will live long enough to experience what a kind of Uranus return. Thank you so so much.

   1. Thank you so much. And thank you for reminding me that Japan produced the Sony Walkman. I lived off mine, when I was at university. The Japanese charts are so strongly Gemini that Uranus (new inventions) in Gemini (local tourism, local travel, the worldwide web) cannot fail to produce an incredible new wave of cars, buses, trains, bicycles and planes. And, very likely, a radical new web space with instant Japanese-English translation, likely involving our walking and talking avatars. That would also fit the global astrology, which clicks into the Japanese chart.

5. Love this, Jessica. You give hope in these uncertain times. Xx I know you always defer to the astrology, but all languages need their expert interpreters. I am daring to hope we see the end to the climate emergency in 2026, and that everyone embraces this new age of local, not global(isation), with hope and not fear. I just hope we can somehow see the end of the plastification of our planet, too – especially (or not least) our oceans. Xoo

   1. Thank you. That’s really kind. The Climate Emergency was caused by the 20th century economy. So petrol, gas, kerosene (in aeroplanes) and coal. This is a really old economy dating back to the Industrial Revolution, so Uranus (the revolution) in Taurus (the economy) will replace it with new technology. In fact the solutions are already here. The problem is various Prime Ministers, Presidents, Premiers and politicians who have shares in the old fossil fuel, or who have been paid by corporations to help them get elected. This is what happens when you have Pluto (power) in Capricorn (the elite). Fortunately, Pluto is out of Capricorn from March 2023 and by the mid-2020’s you are really going to see progress. Plastic will be recycled as building materials. Again, it already is in some places, but the politicians have invested in old-fashioned property development instead. Just a matter of time.

6. Hi Jessica. Hope you have been well. I can see lots of people are talking about The Great Reset and how we will own nothing and we will be happy. Wondering is there anything showing up in the astrology regarding this Great Reset or we will become more free from the government and their imposed rules/laws?
   You mentioned 2026 in a lot of your articles and wondering how do you see Australia adapting to this end of globalisation?
   Thank you for your amazing articles and endless astrology wisdom.

   1. Thank you so much. Owning nothing is really like John Lennon singing Imagine, isn’t it, but the best you are going to get is communes doing just that. This is long-term astrology. After March 2023, Pluto moves into Aquarius (power in groups) for the first time in over 240 years. He slowly but surely moves permanently into Aquarius for the rest of the Twenties and will be there in the Thirties. There are generations of people now on the planet born with Uranus, Neptune or Pluto in Scorpio (banking) who will want change and hear the call. So it won’t be global, but groups of people will try new ways of living within communities. The question you ask about government is really important. We have all been living with Pluto (power) in Capricorn (the elite at the top) since 2008 and have suffered through a great deal of money and control being concentrated at the peak of the world system. Donald Trump. Vladimir Putin. Apple. Mark Zuckerberg. Every country has delivered its own version of Pluto in Capricorn, but we leave it very abruptly in March 2023, just for a few months, and see what the future will be liked when power is shared horizontally among all kinds of people, together, rather than handed down from on high by a few men at the top.

7. Thanks for your insight as always. My job heavily involves international tourism to Japan, so it’s a bit disheartening to see the strict closed borders continue – my employer very much works on a sustainable level though! Are there any astrological indications of the country opening up to the world again, albeit in a limited fashion? Or should I be looking at other lines of work!

   1. Thank you. Unfortunately the worst is yet to come with COVID-19 as we enter the Saturn in Pisces cycle from March 2023. This is the same cycle which saw the worst of AIDS. I doubt that many of the airlines or cruise ship companies which currently service Japan will survive from 2026. The astrology is really clear, as it has been since the 14th century, actually. Whenever you get a whole generation born with Virgo factors (public health) and they go through clashing cycles in Sagittarius (travel, tourism) and Gemini (commuting) a virus turns into a pandemic, spread by foreigners. Here we are again. What takes off beautifully in Japan from 2026 is internal travel, with new technology. That is Uranus in Gemini. You might also look at her immediate neighbours. The solution is air filtering and also ‘the new planting’ as special plants and trees which filter and even eliminate the virus are already under development. The problem for all of us has been the massive profiteering going on with the vaccines. That is why needles have been pushed so hard. They reduce your risk of hospitalisation but we need ever more of them, don’t we, to ‘fight’ COVID-19 every time it mutates. It’s so silly. The answer is to control travel and travellers and always was.

8. Jessica, hello. I am very concerned about the question: will there be military operations on the territory of Russia in 22-24? Or will everything be limited to the economic downturn?

   1. To see world war, we look for Cancer transits. We had them during both wars. We do not have them in the Twenties. The Russian chart (coupled with Belarus) shows an economic crisis so difficult and prolonged that it is very hard to understand how Russia can afford to maintain attack.

9. Hi Jessica, new here from Spain! Love your posts. Can I ask you, what if your natal nodes square the transiting nodes as it is happening to me? Is it karma x2? Just read your article and I have ascendant on 8 scorpio. Since 2020 my finances were hit hardly, and now is affecting my job… kind of at war with my boss. Absolutely all that mattered to me went to ashes in these 4 years.

   1. Thank you. You are a Sun Gemini with a Taurus-Scorpio chart signature in your Second House of income and Eighth House of joint finance. That is now being crossed by the transiting lunar nodes in Taurus and Scorpio, until 2023. The ascendant isn’t important. (Your ascendant is merely your appearance online). The real deal here is the need to reshape your life budget so that you put new price tags on what money cannot buy. Presumably, self-respect, freedom, integrity – in your paying job. Even if 2022 and 2023 are hard work, you will get through it, and in fact have a break from the constant soul calculations and spiritual accounting, from March 2023. The reason for this is that Pluto leaves your solar Eighth House of joint finance then, so publicly, you receive a long break from endless questions about who/what is in control.

10. I find it contradictory that there will be one world currency, but globalisation will end.
    How do you see it working?

    1. Good question. We will end up with two currencies. A digital one-world cryptocurrency which pays for global priceless assets: clean air, water, soil – and taxes Climate Emergency criminals. The second currency will be your local one, and may even be unique to your city. Uranus (the revolution) in Taurus (money) until 2026 will deliver the first one; Uranus (again, the revolution) in Gemini (locals) will deliver the second.

11. Wow! Thank you for your reply. The confluence of astrology, politics, economics and history is the hallmark of your work. The perspectives you give enrich one’s knowledge of our complex, beautiful world. Thank you again.

    1. Thank you!

12. Jessica, apologies for writing on the wrong thread but suddenly something happened now. My Taurus (29th April 1976) sister is having a very difficult time with her marriage since some years. My Taurus (6th May 1946) mom moved in with her to be with her, else the Scorpio (26th Oct 1976) husband influenced by his greedy and conniving family wouldn’t let her be in peace. My two loving nieces are very young (12 and 10). They all live in California.
    That person suddenly sent me an email now which was weirdly written and I am in a different time zone ahead of them and i forwarded the email to my sis. he doesn’t seem to be sensible and I just have written to my sis the same. that good people need to get involved in California.
    I am very worried, ideally she wants to separate from him but with his family he is threatening all sorts of stuff for the kids…taking them with him and all. he isn’t a good man, the marriage should not have happened in the first place.

    I’m Aries (Mar 21 1978) struggling, stressed, with funding academic my own stuff and want to move abroad permanently but this came as a shocker now. Jessica apologies, this is the wrong thread, I don’t know where to write this. Your insight much appreciated please. My mind is too tense. Thank thank you.

    1. Your Taurus sister has a bad marriage and wants to leave her Scorpio husband, but he is threatening to take the children. They are in California. He can’t do that, by law. You are an Aries and obviously feel stress about your sister, even though your Taurus mother has moved in with them and the children, your nieces. This will in fact come down to money and property for your sister, her husband and your mother (actually) with a lot of discussion going backwards and forwards in May, June. What is agreed then may change or not last. It needs to be treated as a process not a first-stop outcome. You then go towards the end of the year; the closing months of 2022 and first few months of 2023, when the three of them need to engage a lawyer to avoid serious friction. Again, this is about the money, the house or the apartment. This does not last forever and the karma is over by 2024. This is karmic in nature, of course, and what happened 18 or 19 years ago is now affecting all of them. Try to get everything in writing with/for your sister in May, June once it is actually decided between you. Arrangements or agreements are subject to change. Later on this year, and into early 2023, strong decisions will be made between you. Impartial advice from a counsellor, say, or legal advisor will really help as it is all too easy for a situation like this, on a Mars Retrograde cycle, to become overheated.

13. Apologies for this add, but that person has mars in Scorpio – is this a vengeful violent placement Jessica please?. I read that mars in Scorpio placements are to be avoided. He is a Scorpio. 26th Oct 1976. My sis is 29th April 1975. both opposing signs i realise now. Your insight much appreciated Jessica, thank you.

    1. There is a lot of rubbish on the internet purporting to be astrology. Mars in Scorpio is not a vengeful and violent placement. There are no vengeful and violent placements. I’ve replied to you elsewhere, thank you.

14. Hi Jessica, you really are a beacon ! Thank you for replying when you have thousands of comments, especially in giving hope. Please take it easy, I will keep doing my walks where I pick up plastic litter along the way (I heard the humorist writer David Sedaris, also does this) and plotting an image relaunch for after Merc Rx (Chiron just exact conjuncted my Merc in Aries. I didn’t dye my hair blue – like in my teens (am the same vintage as Chiron) or invest in Docs (again), but will see what June brings. At very least a Hades Knits purchase?? Thank you Jessica XOOXOO

    1. Thanks so much. I pick up rubbish when I walk the dog, too. I used to do it in Hyde Park in London and dump it all in the rubbish bin outside the memorial park for Diana, Princess of Wales. (I felt she would approve). One day, the most incredible thing happened. A swan swam out in front of me in the Serpentine, near her park, and made a heart shape with her wings. That was the thank you. I am sure you get them too. You’ll enjoy your relaunch; if you want something really special with that, do ask spirit for it.

15. Hi, Jessica. Again thanks for all enormous job you’re doing…
    Do you think we would face “climate lockdown” similar to Covid-19 ones?
    Also, a locally famous prophet (Bulgarian Slava Sevrjukoca) from last century used to warn people who emigrated, to come back up until 2025-6, as “we will not be ABLE to accept you”. It sound strange before. Now… not really strange…

    1. Thank you. No climate lockdown, but the pressure on ‘earth, our home’ will continue while Pluto is in Capricorn. We will get a break from the Climate Emergency from March 2023, and that year will give us a glimpse of light at the end of the tunnel. Pluto will dip in and out of Capricorn, in his long opposition to Cancer, the sign ruling Mother Nature, until the mid-2020’s. Then, it looks as if we finally have a UN with power, as Pluto goes into Aquarius and the world will actually come together to tackle fossil fuel. That is interesting about your Bulgarian prophet. The astrology is really clear that from 2026, there will be major obstacles to air travel, either because of airline collapse and/or the end of cheap flights. It is also possible border control will return along with strict new regulations; very similar to the upheaval we saw with airlines and airports after 9/11.

16. i have stellium cap with moon in aquarius. No Taurus aspects but mars and saturn in scorpio. Why do I have so much trouble in the job market? I only want temp or pt work. I’m qualified for a lot more than i am applying for, too.

    1. I can’t see a chart here, but if you have a Capricorn stellium in your Tenth House of career, the simple answer is – Pluto in Capricorn until March 2023 is transforming your job path. You will get a break from this in the first half of 2023, although you obviously don’t want to wait that long for change. Something you can do to help yourself, is educate yourself. Pluto is all about empowerment through willpower and control through self-mastery. Learning skills online which make you irresistible to employers is a smart move on this transit, no matter if it’s typing, computer skills, English and so on.

17. Hello Jessica, thank you for the perspective again. As the turbulence is still evolving, may I ask you for an advice how to arrange my life after leaving Ukraine. I thought I will be ok just being in the safety, but seeing all the efforts to establish my life being destroyed, I am completely lost where to go what to do. Like a lost baby. Appreciate you help.

    1. Thank you. You are a Sun Scorpio with the Ascendant and Juno in Cancer in the Fourth House of home, home town and homeland (using the Natural Astrology house system). In your solar chart, you have transiting Saturn in your Fourth House until March 2023. I am very sorry for the dreadful attack on your beautiful country, but you must also be very proud of the way the people of Ukraine have resisted. It is personal for you, because you were born with Juno at 28 Cancer and transiting Pluto (transformation) is opposing that, from 28 Capricorn. That can only happen to you once every 240+ years and you are now there. A huge amount of relief and release will come from March 2023 when Saturn leaves Aquarius and departs your Fourth House (solar chart) and you also end the year with Jupiter (opportunity) in Pisces trine your Juno. So, although finding patience is hard, this feeling of being lost, and not knowing where to go, does not last. Spring 2023 is the turning point, in both your natal chart and solar chart. Juno is a symbol of commitment – who or what you ‘wed’ yourself to. In Cancer, it is your family tree; your ancestors; your town and country. This is also your public face, because your Ascendant is in Cancer too. It is very important that you find a way to feel at home where you are now. It is not your home, but if you can find ways to create a ‘home away from home’ it will help. Just developing a bond with the history and culture of the place where you are will assist that. Getting to know the place emotionally or spiritually, or a close region, so that you satisfy your Juno in Cancer side, which always wants to make a pledge or promise to a place. You will go back to Ukraine and be part of the transformation, as her relationship with Europe and the world completely changes from March 2023, and from the mid-2020’s you may become involved, long-term, with the new Ukraine and find yourself with the power to make a difference, as Pluto slowly transits your solar Fourth House, and moves right away from the opposition to your natal Fourth House.

18. I am very interested in your points about 2 currencies and also new green technologies.
    I think we are setting up for two currencies with trade restrictions and the withdrawal of swift access across markets which would facilitate funding if the Russian war machine. I lived in China in the mid 90’s when foreign exchange certificates existed and they facilitated the purchase of imported goods. If you regulated the domestic sale you regulate point of origin (oh my in am now thinking about Brexit and the Irish border!)
    Green tech, Japan was heavily reliant on imported fuel and the 70’s oil shocks drove their energy efficiency endeavours. Large investment to bring at scale green tech role out to support industry is important and countries able to work to bring change upstream in production and manufacturing will thrive. If any country can swiftly introduce that change, Japan can.

    1. Thank you. You have seen first-hand how China handled the outcome of Pluto (transformation) in Scorpio (banking) back in the 1990’s and it’s quite true that whenever we have slow-moving outer planets or nodes in Taurus and/or Scorpio there is quite a radical approach to imports. I agree with you that if any country can quickly turn around a green tech revolution Japan can. Those charts for her are so strongly Gemini and Uranus in Gemini from 2026 will move like lightning. Uranus transits can feel like an electrical storm and whatever happens from 2026 puts Japan front and centre. It may actually involve inventions that are not even dreamed of yet.

19. Toyota is backing hydrogen fuel for cars, as opposed to EVs which require rare earth mining. I wonder if this plays into Japan’s future clean air, Gemini-themed economy surge.

    1. That’s interesting about hydrogen fuel at Toyota. I didn’t know that. Thank you.

20. Hi Jessica
    I find it fascinating what you said about Japan’s karmic payback with regard to Vietnam especially in view of what you have previously said about the new chart for Japan after the war. It fits so well!

    You also have mentioned the karma between Russia and Germany and also what Germany owes to other European nations. Today we learn Germany and France have been selling arms to Russia, this info from Romania, whilst all the while the Brits were training and supporting the Ukrainians and sending arms for self defence, and were the first calling out the threat, whilst the Germans et al have been accusing the Brits of not doing enough. It’s clear from his videos that Zelensky sees the UK as Ukraine’s biggest friend in Europe. Elsewhere I have read that Merkel is suspected of being a Russian plant all along, she speaks fluent Russian, her father was a communist I understand, she refused to act on criticism of the Scholz directorship of Gazprom, made Germany more dependent on Russian gas rather than further rapid expansion of green energy, amid other criticism of how she has weakened Germany and Europe. The Germans treated Greece absolutely abhorrently, especially considering the kindness and assistance they were given after the wars, including from our own government! I never see anything other than what we later realise is only ever self serving from Germany, and never true payback at all. Will the karma keep rolling on?

    My own small protest is that I refuse from now on to knowingly buy anything German or French, though I know it won’t make much difference.

    My question is, do you see Germany changing its approach at all with regard to Russia? The EU dangled a carrot at Ukraine, Ukraine gets in trouble with Russia because Russia doesn’t like Ukraine closeness with EU (and by default, NATO), and now Germany and France, having supplied weapons to Russia, sit back whilst Ukraine is bombed.

    1. Thank you. This wartime karma is unavoidable in astrology, because of the odd nature of September 1939 (when we saw Taurus weather in a rare pattern) and the exact repeat in 2022, when again we have Taurus weather. Some of this involves the lunar nodes, which rule karma – in Indian or Vedic astrology too. I’m unsure of your sources for your comments on Russia, Germany and Angela Merkel – or France. So I’m not able to comment on that. What we can say about 2022 and 2023 is that it will have taken a good couple of years for Europe to sort out her financial karmic debts from 1939. So right from the start, this was always going to be about Germany, Austria, Poland, the United States, the United Kingdom and the key players on September 3rd that year. If we take Taurus as economies, values and trade (and property) we have just seen Poland pay back some of the karma from 1939 by taking in millions of people from Ukraine. So that’s a specific example of just one nation and how it chooses to settle the spiritual scores or balance the karmic books. It’s certainly costing her. And this time, America is here. The higher, bigger karmic message about 2022 and 2023 is probably the end of Russian fossil fuel and the rise of rapid development of planet-saving alternative technology. That is also a Taurus concern.

21. there is so much love and compassion for humanity and our world in your posts, thank you Jessica.

22. Hi Jessica thank you for your reply!

    Here is info from the Telegraph on weapons supply to Russia from Germany and France. It is elsewhere on the web too.

    https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2022/04/22/exclusive-france-germany-evaded-arms-embargo-sell-weapons-russia/

23. There is a bit of diplomatic tension now and then between China and Japan in recent times. What kind of Karmic debt would Japan pay for China, Korea, for war and atrocities it committed?

    What would a karmic debt equivalent look like for UK, a country and monarchy that pillaged and ruined so many countries indigenous way of living and their riches. Including the recent pay off by son of Queen instead of facing justice in US.

    I’m hopeful these countries come around and play a better role in future, washing away karmic debt.

    1. The karma is really down to what happened last time – and astrology does not take sides in historic warfare. We won’t actually know how Japan is repaying war karma with China and Korea until this cycle is further along. Sometimes the ‘payment’ is a benefit that has nothing to do with war, but atones or compensates for great loss. If Japan pioneers technology that helps end the Climate Emergency, that would also benefit China and Korea, that would be a good example. The United Kingdom has many, many charts. The karma now relates to the last war and the stand she took on 3rd September 1939 against Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany, in support of Poland. So it really has nothing to do with colonisation. Or Prince Andrew.

24. Dear Jessica,
    Thank you for your amazing work! I am a Virgo Sun with Scorpio rising and Mars in Libra. Would you have any words of advice regarding my situation? I am in my late forties and feeling so lost at the moment. Job-wise I seem to have finally found a job I enjoy doing after many years of working in various sectors, but so far it has not been that financially rewarding. Is there a more lucrative way forward maybe with freelancing, or in another part of the world? I reside in Germany. Also, any insights regarding my love life would be much appreciated. I am currently single and my love life has been for the most part rocky. After all these years, I am still hoping to find my soulmate. Most men I seem to meet are married.
    Thank you so much xxx

    1. Thank you. You are a Sun Virgo with a Taurus-Scorpio chart pattern in your natal horoscope. You will make or save a lot of money from mid-May until October, then again from January until May 2023. It’s not clear if that comes from a career change or not, but you are obviously owed some good karma from life as it was 18 or 19 years ago. The idea of a soulmate is not really true to astrology. We do incarnate sometimes to re-meet a person we knew from another life, in order to complete unfinished business, but that’s not necessarily always a blissful experience. Not every sexual relationship is about a past life commitment at all; each has its own purpose. Some are about money and property (Scorpio transits) and some are about gender equality (Libra transits) while others are about having children – or not (Leo transits). You have had opportunities to be with someone for months, but may not have taken them, for whatever reason. You still have opportunities until mid-May and then again from October to December, after which a window closes. Dropping the idea of ‘perfect’ is useful as it is not unusual to attract a new potential date or lover on the cycle you are in, and then start a relationship and turn your back. Or to be approached by someone but reject them, for whatever reason. So the astrology is correct; You are being given Jupiter’s opportunity, but although Jupiter can lead a horse to water, he cannot make it drink! You may find the Tarot useful in explaining why you are in your forties and have avoided marriage to date. Sometimes there are perfectly good reasons.

25. Hi Jessica,

    Hope you are keeping well. I was wondering if it’s a particularly difficult time for Sagittarius since the middle of last week as everything has started falling apart. Losing one job after another in incredible circumstances and plans falling apart. Financially in dire straits, job loss and reputation ruined by a narcissist. My birth chart details are given below. Many thanks for any insight in advance.

    1. I am sorry about this very difficult situation you are going through. You have lost your job and have financial issues, and have been dealing with a narcissist. In your solar chart, as a Sagittarian, you have Pluto in Capricorn in your Second House of income, debt, banking and so on. In your natal chart, you have transiting Uranus and the North Node in Taurus, again in your Second House and the transiting South Node in Scorpio in your Eighth House of joint finances. This is important as you were born with so many factors in Taurus and Scorpio. It is a similar story again with work. In your natal chart you have transiting Pluto in Capricorn in your Tenth House of career, and in your solar chart as a Sagittarian you have transiting Uranus in your Sixth House of work. Take a deep breath and try not do battle with the narcissist. Or battle with anyone, actually, as it will go on for months and be really time-sapping. Try to set any idea of a duel aside in 2022 and early 2023. The financial situation will not last forever; you can see you were born with the North Node in Taurus and South Node in Scorpio. You will find the hard work and heavy lifting is 2022, 2023 but after that you slowly get a break and in fact will make or save money, later on. When Jupiter goes into Taurus you benefit, and it’s not that far away. So, you need to put your head down and gain new work and also control your budget. Easier said than done, but there is the most liberating, exciting, unpredictable new job/jobs (plural) waiting. You will be far more independent as a result and may find yourself doing the last thing you ever expected. Even if 2022 and 2023 stretch you, you will become empowered as a result of your own efforts and gain a lasting sense of your own value. Far more important than any transient financial loss. You can use the Tarot, which is free on this website, to gain more insights.

26. Hi Jessica, I love that Japan is back, such a unique and individual country. When we were at school it was all about learning Japanese and then it switched to Chinese language learning. It bothered me greatly that we lost our skills in Australia and imported everything, I was in the textile industry at the time and all the manufacturers and printers shut down due to allowing Chinese imports. I have always worried about not the economic impact but the loss of skills and generations not learning trades, not to mention shutting down car manufacturing that could help with national security if we were ever invaded and the country could then turn around and make weapons. I would love to hear you talk about the Solomon Islands – the images of Ukraine are playing in my head with China now having entry to invading us. It’s a bit scary. Now on a personal note after being an artist and art teacher for 20 years I have changed tact and rebirthed myself into an organic energy-free salt maker – I absolutely love this and am passionate about building an empire. I know – an empire, I am passionate about this and have started making the product. I would love to hear what could help me because I am a single mum and after half a life of philosophy and devotion to Art I want to change my tactic I started last year to research and build my company/Empire and have come a long way and am very excited. I am enquiring about Saturn’s influence in my chart. Am I destined to always seem to be on the losing end of finance? I feel like I have had a lot of karma to work through with south node conjunct natal Saturn. I also have transisting PLUTO (right) conjunct (exact and then moving on it back and forth) my natal Venus for years so my relationship blew up but now I need to turn my mind to myself and make money for my daughter and me. Could transition Pluto hideously drilling down on my Venus for all these years mean financial transformation, not just a relationship transformation? Would love to hear that something might burst into good fortune soon! Fingers crossed.

    1. Thank you. Once Uranus (the revolution) goes into Gemini (local life, neighbours) from 2026, Australia will be far more concerned with interstate trade and – say – South Australia and Victoria together; New South Wales and Queensland together. One of the reasons for that is the new bullet trains and also alternative transport which necessarily cannot go too far, too fast. New Zealand and Australia will be in a new relationship from 2026. Right now, China has a critical chart; we’ve not seen anything like this before. Transiting Pluto is in conjunction with natal Uranus and that’s a severe crossroads. Your own chart shows Mars at 28 Taurus and your Sun in Pisces. You will actually make or save a lot of money. I do not know if this is as a result of your organic energy-free salt maker. You would need to use the Tarot for that. But in general, you will either end up with considerable bargains or free rides, starting in May 2022, until October – or you will profit or gain in some way. This should help you and your daughter. This shows up in both charts, natal and solar, as you are experiencing a rare trine from Pluto at 28 Capricorn to natal Mars at 28 Taurus, and later on will gain from transiting Jupiter at 28 Taurus in conjunction with your natal Mars. The only caveat with Mars is not to start any battles over business, money, charity, property; I am sure you know Mars can be military in nature. What Mars likes best is a strategy so plot and plan, plot and plan.

27. Funny that Uranus is at the heart of most of this and NASA right now is pushing to study Uranus ASAP. They say we have so much to learn from this planet.

    Edgar Cayce that the most part of Japan must go into the sea. I wonder if that will come to pass as well? I sure hope not.

    Seems like a lot of Karma going on now especially with parts of Europe returning looted artifacts back to African nations. finally!

    What do you think of the liver ailment that is infecting children in various countries? Seems to have just come out of nowhere.

    Thanks for all of your hard work.

    Cheers
    P

    1. Edgar Cayce is someone I need to have in my library, P. The situation with the children is worth a long look. One of the transits we are seeing now is the long Saturn in Aquarius and Pluto in Aquarius cycle, and of course this opposes the natal charts of people with Leo factors in their Fifth House of parenthood. Fertility, pregnancy, birth rates, infants and children are the Leo ‘heirs to the throne’ but here we have serious opposition over many years, as Saturn in Aquarius gives way to Pluto in Aquarius from March 2023. So something is up. I don’t think this will just be liver ailments, it is really a long obstruction to parenthood in general. Another possibility is COVID-19 and its impact on male fertility and virility. A few studies have looked at that.

28. Hi Jessica, I learn so much from your posts. They are so insightful and refreshing and have me looking up more information on the various topics as you trigger my interest in what is really going on in the world/planet. So, thank you for the education!
    I have Diana at 10 Taurus in my chart. What should I be looking out for during this transit. Thanks so much for your insights!

    1. Thank you, for your thank you. Diana is a symbol of feminism; she was born fully formed from her father Jupiter’s brain. In Taurus in your Second House she describes your values, which show up in your life budget. Who or what you consider to be priceless; where you will compromise over money and where you refuse to budge on price. This is really about your house, apartment, valuables, charity and/or business. Diana can be the breadwinner in a sexual and financial relationship, for example. The huntress today is a go-getter, and in Taurus, that is about making or saving money – perhaps going out as a ‘Hunter Gatherer’ online, with the property market or the sharemarket. Diana wants plenty of space, freedom and autonomy. She begged her father Jupiter to set her free from motherhood and marriage. So, you are going through a cycle not seen in your adult life – transiting Uranus at 10 Taurus in conjunction with natal Diana (a revolution) and the transiting North Node at 10 Taurus, eventually, which brings back life as it was 18 or 19 years ago, with some spiritual accounting to be done.

29. Hi Jessica,

    As always, thank you for your thoughtful and valuable insights. I live in the US (Ohio). I was born in Ohio and lived in several different cities throughout my life, but moved back to Ohio to care for my parents/support my family of origin. I purchased a house in 2018, but do not intend on staying in Ohio (does not suit me for many reasons, I have felt this way since I was a teenager). You have highlighted the new local manifesting and my question is do you see any fractions or enhanced region identification within the USA. Not necessarily a civil war North-South divide (although that is already in place and has been since that war), but not dissimilar either. If memory serves, I believe you have highlighted that each state can have its own astrology (not 100% confident on this recollection), but in any event, what I am really asking is if you see barriers going up within the US in the next couple of years.

    I have been contemplating moving or at least renting my home and remote working from areas, even countries more aligned with my philosophies (which do not include voter suppression, denial of women’s healthcare, including abortion, voiding education that includes critical thinking or delaying sustainable energy investments). You have provided me with advice to be cautious (earlier post) regarding the potential of worldwide limits to travel and stricter border regulations, so staying in the US short term is a consideration. Any feedback on what might be happening within the US over the next couple of years is appreciated.

    Thank you!

    1. Your Sun in Libra and Minerva-IC conjunction in Cancer tells a similar story in your solar and natal chart, so I am not surprised you are deeply concerned with questions about where to live, how to live, and the future of America. In your solar Libra chart, you have transiting Pluto in Capricorn in your Fourth House of ancestors, roots, culture, history, heritage but also home – the house or apartment. In your natal chart, you have had transiting Pluto in opposition to those Cancer factors so it has pushed your buttons. This is actually in your ancestry as the IC or Immum Coeli shows your mother’s or father’s side of the family, and in Cancer, you come from at least one patriot who was all about home town and homeland. The situation eases up when Pluto changes signs in March 2023, and from that point on, is slowly fading out. By the mid 2020’s when Pluto’s days in Capricorn are increasingly a memory, you will no longer feel so pushed, pulled and pressured with feeling at home in the USA, finding a home and sorting out where to be. Ohio has not done it for you (Chrissie Hynde would agree with you). Yes, the US will split into very different territories from 2026 when Uranus goes into Gemini. Gemini rules local life. The revolution will be in individual states and you will see it played out through transport and travel. What is acceptable to people in Hawaii will be unacceptable to people in Texas. That’s a long way off, though and you need to figure out your lifestyle and home now. The Tarot can help you with that. Globalisation is on the way out and The New Local is coming in but it takes us until 2026 to really see how very different it’s going to be.

30. Love your site, Jessica. Especially these really informative posts. Japan obviously make excellent cars, exported to the world. Is now a good time to buy a car? Or is that space going to be transformed soon too?

    Thank you Jessica

    1. Buying a car on Mercury Retrograde in Gemini is not a great idea: it dominates May and June. Mercury rules commuting, Gemini rules cars, and retrograde is rescheduling, rethinking, product recall, offer retraction, and all the ‘re’ prefixes, unfortunately.

31. Hi, Jessica! Long time no writing to you. Again, I want to question you about what do you think will happen with Russia? I am tired of this fear and their threaten. Now they will go for Transnistria and then for Moldova. When they gonna stop? I fear for my country, Romania, because russians keep saying that Romania together with NATO will conquer Transnistria. Please, what do you think? Should we fear about this? Lots of love and blessings!

    1. Fear is the modus operandi of Vladimir Putin and his cronies. Don’t buy into fear. I can only repeat that the Russia-Belarus chart shows they are in the worst financial crisis since the deal was inked and it is not getting any better. Wars are expensive. There is also a major health question hanging over the head of Putin. I predicted this a long time ago on this website. The resurgence of NATO, the UN and the EU begins in March 2023 when Russia will realise you need genuine friends and allies, forged over the decades, to have control. They don’t have anything like the network that Romania has. Pluto in Aquarius. That changes everything.

32. Hi Jessica,
    Thank you for your insightful blog. Looks like world is going to change a lot in next 4-5 years.
    I am in India, my son and daughter are in USA, my daughter plans to return back to India for good in this May/June, son is into software development but always thinks of quitting the job. Is their move right? what is in store for them.

    Thanks n Regards

    1. Thank you. I don’t have charts for your children so cannot comment on them. You are a Sun Cancer so if your children are involved with you financially (if your daughter moves back in with you, for example) then you have a lot to think about in the Twenties. You no doubt have your will made out to them, so that is part of the story in the Twenties and the Thirties too. Should there be anything more immediate, like your son borrowing money from you, or your daughter wanting a home with you, then it may be useful to get outside advice and keep things very clear and simple. You have Saturn transiting your solar Eighth House of family finance and that is very hard work in 2022, until March 2023, and then Pluto takes over, for many years into the future, which can raise issues about who or what is in control. That’s why it’s sensible to get professional advice, should there be any personal, verbal agreement with the children about merging/sharing/dividing finance or property, ongoing.

33. Thank you so much for your reply, Jessica. Thank you for the hope. I have been traumatised by the false accusations of the narcissistic co-worker claiming harassment and stalking with no evidence which got me fired from a job I really liked and needed. I will not engage in battles as advised. Thank you again.

34. Hi Jessica,

    Could you please do a forecast for Navajo indigenous peoples for 2023-2026? Our reservation was created on June 1, 1868 at Fort Sumner, New Mexico USA.

    We in Arizona have a prophecy about the end of the world, as we know it and this started to unfold from October 2019. So many relatives died quickly from covid and now the scarcity escalates with environmental crisis.

    In my own experience, the house we inherited (we means my 5 siblings) from our Navajo mom in Arizona burned down in a wildfire on April 19, 2022. We lived in that house since 1981. With no insurance it is spectacular loss. I don’t know how we build again.

    As indigenous woman, how can this get any better? People write concerns about the emissions of cars and global warming and in the same breath seek to be inspired by indigenous peoples’ way of life. It’s hard and not romantic. It’s poverty at every turn unless we act like the settlers. How do we prepare our children for the US decline when we’re at the bottom? Will there be a reckoning for the boarding schools where the governments sent our children to be more civilized. Sorry this is not related to Japan. I was surprised to read about indigenous peoples on this page. I never thought to use astrology for the Navajo Nation. Please consider and MANY THANKS in advance for your forecast

    1. Thank you for the data on your Navajo reservation. Your entire problem since 2008 has been power, control and how to handle it – with finance and property. This goes on, but you are at the end of the cycle (you will be pleased to hear) and get a long break from it, after March 2023. It’s not the end of the world (as you know it) to quote REM, but you have been put through the toughest cycle in 240+ years, according to astrology. You are now at the end stages, as I said, and from the mid 2020’s will have a very different future – a much easier one. I am so sorry your relatives have died from COVID-19. That is part of the tragedy, along with the wildfire. You are rightly concerned about the Navajo Nation and the future. As the owners of the land, you went through the first Pluto in Capricorn cycle in the late 1700s. I should explain that whenever Pluto (absolute power, domination) goes through Capricorn (the top of government) it always opposes Cancer factors in a chart; the charts of people, reservations, nations which show Cancer (which rules home town, homeland and ancestors) go under pressure. What we saw with King George III in 1776 and the kidnapping and enslavement of African people; the seizure of Navajo Nation land is typical of Pluto in Capricorn, in opposition to Cancer in a chart. Cancer also rules Mother Nature, as this sign rules all mothers. No wonder you feel you must start again and wonder if it will get better. You will start again and it does get better. Pluto is now at the final degrees of Capricorn and there is a departure from March 2023 when he moves into Aquarius, the sign ruling the human family in all its diversity. From that point, for a reason we don’t know yet, the indigenous people of Arizona and America/Canada as a whole begin to share in a new kind of power. It builds slowly, on and off, as Pluto goes in and out of Capricorn/Aquarius, but from the next US election and new phase of White House presidency, you will find huge improvements. You are a Sun Leo with a big Taurus-Scorpio pattern in your Second House and Eighth House of property and joint finances, legacies and inheritance. That came under karmic patterns when you lost your home, as the lunar nodes in Taurus-Scorpio rotated back to their positions from 18 or 19 years ago. You are owed, or you owe, from that time and that relates to the loss of the property and your relationship with your siblings and mother. I am sorry you had to go through it without insurance; that must have been devastating. Again, things improve, and in fact when Jupiter goes into Taurus once 2022 and most of 2023 is out of the way, you will gain opportunities to hugely expand your professional life, unpaid work or academic career which also result in a great deal of money made or saved. Have a look at the Tarot to validate this, but life is going to improve. And the horrendous situation with the attack on Mother Nature and the rights of indigenous people from Pluto in Capricorn opposite Cancer, is just a memory soon.

35. Hello Jessica,
    I thought that I’d read in one of your Blogs something about Deutsche bank but can’t find it now. I thought you might find this interesting: https://news.yahoo.com/reputed-federal-informant-whistleblower-found-030844664.html

    1. Thank you. Yes, Deutsche Bank is one to watch. I made two predictions about money laundering quite a long time ago, and now we are in 2022 I haven’t updated them. I really should, because it has the Sun at 1 Aquarius and Pluto goes over 1 Aquarius from March 2023. You can see the money laundromat blowing in stages; I was very struck by the introduction of the Magnitsky Amendment to the Money Laundering Act of the UK back in May 2018, which of course was named for a whistleblower murdered by Putin’s Russia. Now we are in a different space with Russia, I should imagine the plot will thicken and the net will close. Watch March 2023 and the months following for the next stage in this tragedy.

36. Hi Jessica- Thank you for your article. Very interesting. Five months ago my family and I repatriated back to Australia from Japan after a nearly 5 year stay in Tokyo and a previous 12 year stint in London. Regarding tourism in Japan- very interesting to hear your astrological prediction. As a ‘Gaigin’ for many years and feeling the subtle undertones of being an ‘alien’ foreigner, it was so interesting to see the country close borders and shut out tourists. I kept saying it felt like Japan was waiting for a chance to do this! They are the most polite people in the world but, as Japan is one of the most homogenised nations, you are never truly accepted there; unlike multicultural London. However, the sense of calm we experienced when travelling across the country when the borders closed was interesting (& utter quiet bliss!). Eventually the local tone seemed to be that nobody missed the millions of tourists trampling across the country and on their sacred shrines- even though it was economically damaging. Perhaps, as you say, they will now keep their borders closed long term.
    I used a ‘Mamachari’ electric bike to transport my two children around Tokyo for 5 years and didn’t drive once. It was left unchained and unlocked all around the city and was never stolen, moved, lost! They are such an integral part of people movement across the country. We have shipped our bikes back to Australia as I couldn’t part with them. I really hope they take off here and perhaps Japan will see a market to export them on a truly global scale.
    Regarding the virus air filters you mention- my hairdresser had them, my child’s school and some shopping centres. I haven’t seen one anywhere in Australia. Interesting to hear you say these will ‘go global’ and aid the ‘fight’ against Covid.
    Nature is import in Japan and ‘forest bathing’ regular requirement for city dwellers, respecting and acknowledging each season- perhaps these cultural philosophies will be the foundation for the launch of the new, Green Japan you mention. It’s exciting.
    Personally, I see karma from 18-19 years ago keeps coming up for me in your horoscopes (Capricorn – January). That time was just before I moved to London. I had just finished studying then but am now trying to return to complete the postgraduate study again but I keep having to delay due to home commitments & extended family demands and it feels like I may never finish or (start,) and it be the right time. With life so hectic at the minute is it better to postpone study until later this year once we are settled. My post graduate degree is quite demanding with pressure. Also property- we just got some finance but not as much as hoping- would it be better to hold off purchasing until later this year? Thank you again! x

    1. Thank you. It is interesting to hear about electric bikes and air filters from someone who sees them regularly in Japan. They are the future. Japan will move forward with electric bicycles, cars, buses (and other kinds of power) and pioneer those from 2026 ongoing according to the revolutionary Uranus in Gemini triggers to the Japanese charts, which are so strongly Gemini. Air filtering is currently in beginner stages, probably because the pharmaceutical industry has invested so much in Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Moderna and of course, if COVID-19 could be destroyed in one room with a $700 filter, the ‘vaccination’ juggernaut would be over. This may be beyond filters, though; we could be looking at light. Your own chart is being strongly triggered by the lunar nodes and you are wondering if you should postpone study as your postgraduate degree is demanding – and you are also wondering about timing for a property purchase. You are not logged in, so I cannot see your birth chart, or you are not a Premium Member. It’s hard to say more, but if you are a Sun Capricorn, your property chances are at a 12-year high from mid-May 2022, accelerating in June 2022, and then winding down in October. They resume, January-May 2023. So that’s the house or apartment side of things, but also residency/nationality/town/country. Try to work with that time frame and validate with the Tarot on this website to drill down into academic questions.
