This delineation is one that should have been included in my book, "The Dark Side of Eclipses," but time ran out if I was to get it published before the April 8, 2024 eclipse. Thus, I'm including it here for completeness sake.

When the Sun goes into a Cardinal sign, it marks the start of a new season. For Aries, this is the Spring Equinox, and the start of a new astrological year. Ingress charts are a staple in mundane astrology since they set the tone for the coming three months. Lunations that follow the ingress further define coming events. So let's see what's going on.

[NOTE:--For those of you with an eagle eye, the chart dates looks contradictory. The header is based on GMT and programmed into my astrological software, while the chart is for EDT, so it's different dates in the two locations.]

Sun/5th/Aries

For Washington D.C., the Sun is in the house that includes the Senate, children, sports, the entertainment industry, speculation and its cousin, gambling. Aries is an energetic and impulsive sign as well as that of the warrior. Many mass shootings take place under the sign of Aries along with other violent situations. It's also the heart of tornado season.

Sun/5th/Aries tri Moon/9th/Leo

Trines link signs of the same element, in this case Fire. This implies spontaneity and potentially aggression that's difficult to ignore. The 9th house includes the media, other countries, academia, the courts, and religious institutions. One possible influence that's hard to miss is that the Senate does something newsworthy.

Sun/5th/Aries sxtl Pluto/3rd/Aquarius

The 3rd house includes such things as infrastructure and neighboring countries as well as roads, mail, telephone, communications, primary education, and blogs. The hot item has been infrastructure as it relates to the Mexican border issues. Will the Senate finally take action on this controversial issue?

Moon/9th/Leo opp Pluto/3rd/Aquarius

This opposition is part of an aspect pattern with the two previous aspects that is known as a Triangle of Potential. The planet at the apex, in this case the Sun, is mediating the opposition. Pluto in the 3rd suggests taking control of the border where illegal and lethal activity is occurring, particularly the influx of individuals who represent a threat along with deadly drugs such as Fentanyl.

The media has largely ignored this volatile issue. If nothing else, this aspect pattern shows that the Senate can control the situation. It's a matter of whether they will or not.

Mars/4th/Aquarius ssxtl Neptune/4th/Pisces

A semisextile is a minor aspect that can operate as a cloud with a silver lining. It usually indicates an annoyance or friction that with effort can be turned to an advantage.

The 4th house covers land values and usage, history and historical self-perception, family policies and the opposition party. Mars wants to take action for the sake of the people as ruler of the 6th while Neptune is idealistic and prone to deceit and illusions. This implies that any action will be no more than an illusion, probably a nothing-burger coated with disinformation. With literally millions of illegal immigrants already in the country, it's likely to be too little too late.

Poseidon/1st/Scorpio cnj Ascendant

The Trans-Neptunian, Poseidon, is conjunct the ascendant. In general he represents clarity, philosophy and politics though in his lowest form, propaganda. Poseidon is retrograde, suggesting these qualities are internalized, perhaps leaning toward propaganda. Scorpio is the sign that rules death, is saturated in secrecy, and driven by deep passion. This combination doesn't bode well, but smells like political agendas and deals being carried out under the table. "Nothing to see here, people."

Saturn/4th/Pisces tri PoF/8th/Cancer

Saturn in Pisces softens his usual characteristics, such as enforcing boundaries, creating obstacles, demanding and building structure, and projecting authority. In mundane, he's the significator of conservatives, suggesting they'll soften their stance. The trine with the Part of Fortune in the 8th house of death has too many contradictions to be encouraging. Saturn is dysfunctional and little related to  the 8th house of death is to be celebrated. Will this situation be allowed to play out to its natural conclusion? Do conservatives want to sit back, watch the fireworks, and declare "I told you so!" as opposed to correcting it? Give the opposition enough rope to figuratively hang themself? What about all the collateral damage along the way before natural consequences take effect?

One possibility, unlikely though it may be, would be that an inspired solution is discovered that transforms the situation in a positive way. The millions of illegal immigrants already in the country assimilate peacefully with all's well that ends well.

Yeah, right. If you believe that, then you're definitely under the influence of Neptune.

Hades cnj PoF/8th/Cancer

Hades, master of destruction, conjunct the Part of Fortune, and therefore also trining Saturn, does not suggest a favorable, peaceful ending.

Eris/6th/Aries opp Zeus/11th/Libra

Immigrants are faced off with Zeus in the house of groups, which includes Congress. Zeus, like Poseidon, is retrograde. Indeed, the only Trans-Neptunians that are not retrograde are Admetos, who concentrates issues, and Cupido, who gathers like-minded people together.

In this dysfunctional state, it doesn't look as if Congress will do anything helpful. However, the 11th includes other groups. Could this be the Texas Nationa Guard facing off with immigrants?

Jupiter/6th/Taurus sxtl Kronos/8th/Cancer

Jupiter, which represents the courts among other things, is in the house that represents the common people as well as health. Kronos ordinarily operates with finesse, but while retrograde, this could manifest as all talk and no do. Jupiter inflates what he touches, so this looks like much ado about nothing. If it does result in anything, it could be life-changing. Perhaps the people finally make enough noise that the government will listen. It is an election year and when Congress Critters are maybe more inclined to listen.

Sun/5th/Aries sqr Vertex/8th/Cancer

This implies that not taking action is fated and the situation will come to its natural conclusion. That does not sound encouraging. Let's see what happens when the Ingress chart is integrated with the Sibly chart.

I-Sun/3rd/Aries cnj 4th Cusp

The ingress Sun on the 4th house cusp implies that things are about to change since this is the house of endings and new beginnings. The rest of his entourage, i.e. the North Node, Mercury, Chiron, Eris, and Phaethon, precede him into in action-oriented Aries.

I-NN, Mercury, Chiron, Eris, Phaethon rolling stellium/4th

The Sun's entourage carries an interesting message. It suggests that information is coming that relates to injuries incurred by immigrants that will cause them to crash and burn. Perhaps natural consequences are on the way after all.

Sun/3rd/Aries qncx Hades/11th/Scorpio

An Aries Sun who wants to do something, even if it's wrong, is in an unstable aspect with destructive Hades in the house of groups. Something needs to change, or are things stuck in a perpetual Catch-22? This likewise suggests a catastrophic event facilitates a shift.

I-Jupiter/5th/Taurus qncx Sibly Saturn/10th/Libra

Saturn as noted earlier represents conservatives, who want something to change, and are not happy with the Senate's lack of action. Jupiter as significator of judges, could bring forth a decision that forces it, one way or the other.

I-Saturn/3rd/Pisces sqr Sibly Asc/1st/Sagittarius

This suggests the populace does not agree with the squishy border and the situation down south. They want to see something done and are continually disappointed.

I-Pluto/2nd/Aquarius tri Sibly Midheaven/10th/Libra

The 2nd house includes the treasury, finances, resources, and the standard of living. It's already transforming in a negative direction which is reflecting on the country's image and reputation. This is a classic example of a trine not being a good thing.

I-Pluto/2nd sqr Sibly Hades/11th

This does not bode well for the financial situation or standard of living. Pluto tends to operate as the Phoenix, bringing everything to ashes, prior to rebirth, with Hades offering assistance in that initial destruction.

I-Neptune/3rd/Pisces ssxt Sibly Pluto/2nd/Capricorn

More Neptunian gaslighting relative to the border and its financial impact. It's an annoyance causing friction, but going nowhere not likely to achieve anything.

 I-Mars/3rd/Aquarius cnj Sibly Moon/3rd/Aquarius

When the Moon and Mars get together it usually indicates a temper tantrum. Taking place in the 3rd house, which includes infrastructure and therefore the southern border, this looks as if people directly involved in that situation are going to take matters into their own hands. With the Texas National Guard already there, no telling how this could play out. Emotions are a powerful motivator and Aquarius leans toward what the people want. This is promising for action, but not likely directly from the federal government.

I-Neptune/3rd/Pisces ssxt Sibly Moon/3rd/Aquarius and sextile S-Pluto

Neptune's snow job is not likely to be effective with an Aquarius Moon, but cause more friction and fuel that temper tantrum induced by Mars. The sextile with Pluto could represent disinformation relative to financial impact or suggest the financial situation is in control when it's not. Reports on the state of the economy are not based on fact so this looks like more of the same.

I-Eris/4th/Aries sqr Sibly Mercury/8th/Cancer

As always, Eris does not want the policy reviewed and changed. There will be a lot of outcry from those who favor this immigration tsunami.

I-Phaethon/4th/Aries square Sibly PoF-Vx/8th/Cancer

Phaethon, the "crash and burn" asteroid, squares the Part of Fortune and Vertex in the house of death. This looks like a fated clash that will not end well.
