gbejmThere's a lot going on here, so let's unpack it bit by bit.
Duration: six houses are filled, so this chart lasts six months, running through September 4. The annual chart will layer on top of it, though, so it will have its most pronounced effects in the next four months.
Second house: nGeadal reversed is pretty blunt: problems develop. The wheels may not come off the cart just yet, but it might start wobbling more than usual. There are any number of things that could escalate: unemployment, specific sectors (e.g., hospitality) that have been stressed lately, backlogged rent and mortgages, an outbreak of inflation, or something else altogether. The fifth house, which governs speculation, is empty, so this looks like it concerns "real economy" issues specifically.
Third house: Dair reversed, showing that when it comes to communications/the media, they're no longer calling the shots themselves. Given the flurry of activity in the tenth house, this could mean the media becomes a more overt mouthpiece for the Biden administration. However, there have also been recent cases, such as at the New York Times, where the pressure has come from internal activists, so this doesn't necessarily mean an outside actor.
Sixth house: Huath, a surprising obstacle arises regarding health. In a time of a pandemic where a class of vaccines that hasn't been used in humans before is getting deployed widely, this is not something you want to see.
Seventh house: The symbols in the house of international relations aren't quite Ogham for "epic fail" but they're close. There will be more activity than usual (Nion) but it's unproductive (reversed Beith), unfocused (reversed Luis), and doesn't change the situation we find ourselves in (reversed Straif). If the Biden administration is too eager to rejoin the Iran nuclear deal, as one possibility here, they may find themselves taken to the cleaners at the bargaining table.
Tenth house: Even after sleeping on it, I really don't know what to make of all this. I probably should have been more careful noting how the five landed in relation to each other, as that may have helped with the reading. Imagine trying to reconstruct a random sentence from Shakespeare knowing only the letters it contains. Lesson learned. It's some combination of a new issue (Muin), a resolution (Ur), involvement (reversed Eabhadh), inner circle (reversed Or), and the familiar (reversed Eamhancholl). One possible reading is that Vice President Harris has to get involved to push new legislation over the finish line in the Senate. There are other ways to put those pieces together though, so I'm just calling this a miss right from the outset. Something is going to happen, but I can't tell what.
Twelfth house: Similar to the third house, Dair reversed here shows institutions yielding to someone else's influence. This could mean the deep state / intelligence community acts to protect the interests of the administration instead of the nominal interests of the country.
Dair: Dair shows up reversed in both the third and twelfth houses, suggesting that whoever has the influence is the same in both cases. (A cynic might say that the media and institutions were already subservient to the interests of certain segments of society -- which is nothing new under the sun -- but this chart suggests this phenomenon will become especially pronounced.)
So in short:

So in short:
- general economic problems
- the media and other state institutions will capitulate and follow someone else's lead, potentially the adminstration's
- a further surprise regarding health
- a flurry of diplomatic activity that doesn't turn out to be helpful
- something unusual (but not currently clear what) regarding the adminstration itself
