direct again
Hopi, Hidalgo, and Hispania, have all gone direct in recent weeks (in one case, hidalgo, in the last few days). This can be readily seen with the US/Mexican immigration issue, and since hopi and hidalgo are in libra, and hispania in virgo, and this is reflected with a lot of talk and chatter in the air about immigration and its impact on the economy.
Retrograde however are Union and Washingtonia in Sagittarius, near pluto and the Galactic Center Black hole for that matter, and speaking of black holes, asteroid Lilith, just going direct in Libra, is conjunct Asteroid Nemesis, And since this ateroid is in stationary effect, there is little to be done other than sit back and watch the world play itself out. Washingtonia and Union retrograde in Sagittarius is the return of political financing, scandal investigations, and other news about the culture of corruption, Pluto in this mix demands that theese problems be addressed with directness.
The more common asteroids:
Ceres, the ruler of the harvest, taking care of people and being of service to those around you and the land, now in Aquarius, and moving into Pisces. The emphasis of food has been on poultry, expect it to move to seafood. Ceres wll go retrograde later in teh month, so expect things to shift around a little bit.
juno, parnterships and abusive situations, enforcment of fairness and the establishment of equality. Juno is in sensitve cancer and moving into dramatic leo. This is going to shift the reality from home-security to leadership and expectation, combined with mars, ute, vest and saturn, all square to Jupiter and Uranus, and opposed to Chiron there will be a reminder that reality "turned on" in recent months, those who aren't prepared just might break down and cry.
Pallas Athena, the warrior, think Xena, think Wonder Woman, Think Storm from X-Men. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, and this time women are under her defense, even though she prefers men. Retrograding in Capricorn, Pallas is demanding that full recognition and full understanding take place, also a level of seroiusness is in play, there is no way for these requrements to be ignored, patience over time will win the day, adn Pallas will overcoem her shortcomings, Capricorn will see to it.
Vesta, reflecting peoples commitment ot work to achieve an end goal, when denied of exercising the work ethic, vesta gets very cranky and almost destructive. Vesta is our commitments, and what we are commitd to. In leo, there is commitment to lead, conjunct ute, there is commitment to the land and ancestry, or at least recognition of ancestry, conjunct mars, there is a reality of direction and misdirection-decpetions will be shattered. oppose chiron there is healing and self-appreciation, conjunct saturn there is strength in structure, square jupiter, money and finances reveal themselves, square uranus, the individual will be expected to make a commitment to secure their rights. Vesta is having the time or her life righ tnow, and Juno is right behind giving her more to work with, even if it isn't exactly what Juno has in mind (Juno being rather single-minded, Vesta being multifaceted, they do not always get along but the goals are always achieved.)
A few more, Navajo is in Pisces, Hebe is in Aquarius. Hebe relates to service personal and their role in society, while surface adn not deemed all that important, they put themselves into their job and make it worth having around. Navajo reflects the most populated of the southwestern native american tribes, thus bringing this post full circle and back to the mexican/us immigration issues, the position of the Native American Tribes of the United States impacted by the problem will be forecfully known, as asteroid Navajo will be carrying Aquarius drive and be tempered with Navajo dedication.
