gbejmHere is the December 4 chart for the United States. At first glance it may look a tad pessimistic, but unpacking it I found it more hopeful than it initially seemed.
Eight houses contain symbols, so this chart governs until August 4. The annual chart on July 4 will overlay this, though, so in that overlapping month it will not apply as strongly.
In the first house, giving us the state of the nation, we have Dair and Eamhancholl, both reversed. We find ourselves in a familiar situation where we have to get by without effective leadership from the top. Eamhancholl (reversed) in the first house also links to Eamhancholl in the third house, governing communication, along with Muin, giving us a clue as to how to handle that problem: people may have to establish new, unfamiliar ways of communicating rather than relying on established sources of information. The fifth house underscores all this as well, with Eabhadh indicating detachment or aloofness in the house of the elites. (Alternatively, the fifth house also governs speculation, and in that light Eabhadh sounds like a sign of a financial bubble.)
Turning to diplomacy in the seventh house, reversed Coll shows naivety or foolishness in foreign affairs. Allies may be frustrated and adversaries delighted in the months ahead. Beith in the eighth house (calamities and foreign trade) is a bright spot, though, suggesting that the global supply chain snafus will ease. By the middle of next year, for example, we may see fewer cargo ships idly waiting for port space.
For the judiciary in the ninth house we have Ifin and Uillean. Given the recent arguments in the Dobbs case, there is a strong chance a high profile ruling one way or another is coming soon. [Also, given the subject matter, I want to make one thing clear up front: discussions about what abortion laws should be are off topic here; the concern here is what the law is/will be.] The federal government's involvement in relation to the states can be viewed on a spectrum. At one end, the federal government can require states to broadly permit abortion, which is where things stand today and where things would remain if Roe is more or less upheld. Alternatively, the federal government could require states to severely restrict abortion. Based on this chart, though, I expect the court to be drawn to a more open ended ruling between those extremes, where the federal government would step back and gives states latitude to set their own laws, however permissive or restrictive.
Regarding the legislature in the eleventh house, Iodhadh reversed suggests they achieve nothing of lasting consequence.
Ceirt reversed in the twelfth house, which governs institutions and bureaucracies, is interesting. What I suspect this points to can be summed up in one word: blowback. A number of institutions have arguably overstepped their authority while simultaneously undermining their own legitimacy (e.g., by neglecting even a pretense of acknowledging that they serve at the consent of those they govern). This might be the time period when those actions finally come back to bite.
So all in all, the theme I'm seeing here is one of political decentralization -- the court granting states more leeway while individuals reject some authority figures for overreaching and make their own arrangements in light of other authority figures being absent or ineffective.
